COUNTY NEWS
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Deputy Sheriff David Gatton recently joined the lineup of candidates aiming for a position on the Board of County Commissioners in the 2014 election. I never wanted to go anywhere else, said Gatton, a lifelong member of Calvert County at 50 years old, of his intention to remain in the county. Gatton is currently a deputy sheriff with the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, a position he has held for 10 years. Should he be elected to the board of county commissioners he may have to leave that position, a decision Gatton said he would have no trouble making. It would take a nanosecond to retire from being a deputy to be a commissioner, Gatton said. Gatton decided to run for the position in an effort to help the county break out of a stagnant period. County officials do things the way they do them simply because its always been done that way, Gatton said. An example of this is in the Department of Community Planning and Development and the Division of Inspections and Permits. He said hes spoken to a number of people with horror stories about their difficulties in obtaining permits to build a home or business or add on to an existing building. As a commissioner, Gattons first project would be looking at the procedures the de partments function under and develop a way to streamline the permitting process. Gatton encourages voters to actually listen to every candidates platforms and choose the candidates with

Congressman Hoyer Files for Re-Election
Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5) released the following statement last Friday after officially filing his candidacy for re-election to represent Marylands Fifth District in the U.S. House of Representatives: I am proud to seek re-election in Marylands Fifth District, which I have been honored to represent in Congress. Throughout my career, I have fought tirelessly to protect and create good-paying jobs, put our nation on a sound fiscal path, strengthen the middle class, support our seniors and veterans, and secure fair pay and benefits for federal employees. In the Fifth District and in Washington, I will continue to work on a bipartisan basis to address these important priorities. I remain committed to replacing the sequester in its entirety with a balanced alternative that protects jobs, national security, and investments in our future. I am also focused on strengthening our economy and creating jobs through the Make It In America plan Ive put forward in Congress to strengthen manufacturing and create jobs that pay well here in Maryland and throughout the country. Additionally, I remain dedicated to protecting the Medicare guarantee for our seniors, ending the backlog our veterans are facing, and ensuring equal pay for equal work. I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of Fifth District residents over the next year and earning their vote for re-election.

vastly different from her in country travel experiences, Sanner said. She was helping to keep track of 30 people, in addition to having to check luggage in a different location at an airport she hadnt flown out of before. Once they got to France, none of the signs were in English, which only added to the confusion. Finally, they got to their hotel room in Bayeux, France, which Sanner said was very inviting to the teachers and students. Sanner and Aris agreed their most memorable experiences in Normandy were visiting the beaches and being able to look out over Omaha Beach from the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. The only part of the trip Sanner and Aris paid for was transportation to George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and their souvenirs. Travel to and from France, hotels and food are paid for through the Albert H. Small Student and Teacher Institute. Sanner intends to apply again with a different student for the summer of 2014. Aris, is ineligible to apply because the opportunity is only open to sophomores and juniors. Aris hopes to study abroad while in college. She said she wanted to go to Australia, but after her experiences in Normandy she is thinking about studying in France.

On August 02,, Gregory W. Ostrander, a resident of Chesapeake Beach, filed with the Board of Elections for one of the at large Calvert County Board of Education seats in the 2014 election. Born in Oakland, California, Ostrander moved with his family to the Finger Lakes region of New York shortly before his 8th grade school year. After graduating from Waterloo High School in 1997, he enlisted in the United States Navy where he served as a cryptologic technician for 7 years. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, Ostrander was hired by his current employer in 2005 after he moved to Maryland. Ostrander received his AA from Finger Lakes Community College, his BS in Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland University College and is currently working on his MS in Criminal Justice Management. Ostrander is married to the former Olivia Field, also a Navy veteran. Greg and Olivia have three children, Brody (7 years old, 2nd grade at Sunderland), Danielle (6 years old, 1st grade at Sunderland) and Katie (4 years old). Throughout this campaign, Ostrander will talk about fiscal responsibility, decreasing the gap in test scores by
looking at the root of the problems, and a wide variety of other issues that have an impact on the quality of education and our graduates entry into the workforce.

Knowledge is Key
experience with child abuse and neglect into play, Martin said. The states attorneys office will hire an additional attorney to work on the unit in January. Child abuse, domestic abuse and elder abuse all fall into a domestic violence category, Martin said. Justice recently spoke to a senior who fell for a common scam someone called saying their grandson is in jail and needed bail money. The senior gave the caller account information and didn't realize what happened until the call was over. Justice hopes to prevent similar situations through education. Family members initiate more that 70 percent of such scams, she said. Most victims are not alone. Nine out of 10 times, perpetrators have targeted other seniors with similar scams, Martin said. In most cases, the victim is too embarrassed to admit they were taken advantage of. You cannot force a victim to come forward, Martin said. You just hope they will. Victims can report crimes to whomever they feel comfortable talking to. Agencies share information, Martin said, and the more often scams are reported the more likely it is they can be prevented in the future. Other common cons include construction or paving scams. Unlicensed contractors will go to homes and say they have leftover materials from another project and would be willing to perform a service at a reduced rate, Hejl said. The catch is they will use unsafe materials, leave projects undone or do projects so badly they pose a safety risk. In one case, a so-called driveway resurfacing company was simply painting the driveway surface black. There was no asphalt involved at all. Seniors can protect themselves from construction scams by researching the contractors to ensure they are licensed. They should never pay upfront, Hejl said, and should always get a written contract for work to be done. The Department of Aging invited Hejl to speak at the forum because he's done presentations on scams and fraud at each of the senior centers in Calvert and has built a rapport with seniors in the county. Hejl has been talking to senior groups about fraud for more than 25 years, having started while he was with the state police and continuing during his time with the sheriffs office. He intends to remain up to date and continue working with seniors to avoid scams. Seniors are targeted for a number of reasons, Hejl said. The first is they tend to be a more trusting population. Because they did not grow up with the Internet and other forms of modern-day mass communication, seniors dont stop to question phishing
scams. Aging Client Services Manager Tunya Taylor has heard about a number of confidence scams nationwide that target seniors. In some confidence scams, an individual will begin a relationship with a senior and, over time, begin offering unsound investment advice or asking for little favors that get progressively bigger. Sometimes, seniors are so grateful for the companionship they offer to share their assets as payment. This is how some seniors lose everything they have, Justice said. They want to see whats right with someone and get taken, Hejl said. Not everyone wants to take advantage of seniors, Justice said. To protect seniors from such scams, locations such as hospitals, senior centers and nursing homes have ethics codes that prevent employees from accepting gifts from clients. The best way for seniors to protect themselves is to always get a second opinion, Justice said. Seniors should always go over their bills to ensure they are only paying for services they use, or that nothing is being charged to their credit cards and bank accounts that they did not authorize. Sometimes a mistake is just that, Taylor said, but it needs to be reported before it can be put right. If seniors suspect something is wrong, they can report it to the Office on Aging, the states attorneys office, the sheriffs office or whomever they feel comfortable with. The agencies will work together to sort everything out, Justice said. If anyone, not just seniors, believes they have been victimized they should contact the police. Thats what theyre there for, Hejl said, adding the police will investigate and try to remedy the matter. The Department of Aging requests people to pre-register for the forum. Day of registrations will be accepted, and registration is free. Were not going to turn anyone away, said Taylor. The forum is open to anyone over the age of 18. Family members and friends can help prevent elder abuse and scams by being attentive and talking to seniors. The forum will cover warning signs to look for that indicate a senior is being taken advantage of, abused or neglected. A continental breakfast will be served and there will be door prizes and giveaways, Taylor said. The forum will be on Sept. 14 at the Calvert Pines Senior Center from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information, call 410-5354606 or 301-855-1170. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

War of 1812 Speaker Series - Dean Krimmel on Sept. 15
Southern Maryland may not be one of the most well-known theatres of the War of 1812, but this time period effected the area in great proportions and shaped the region as we know it today. On Sunday, September 15 at 3 p.m. in the new auditorium at the College of Southern Maryland Prince Frederick Campus, exhibit consultant Dean Krimmel will present a talk titled: How the War of 1812 Marked Southern Maryland. Mr. Krimmel served as the consultant for both the Baltimore and Southern Maryland 1812 traveling exhibits, and will talk about how he takes original research, primary documents, local stories, and artifacts to craft an exhibit that will appeal to modern sensibilities. The exhibit will be on display to provide context after the lecture. This lecture is part of the War of 1812: A Legacy of Division series which offers a wide range of perspectives on this forgotten conflict. The series is presented in celebration of the War of 1812 Bicentennial, by Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, in partnership with the Calvert Marine Museum, and College of Southern Maryland. Funding is provided by the Maryland Humanities Council, Friends of Jefferson Patterson Park, Star-Spangled 200, Inc., and the Calvert Marine Museum. All talks will take place in the on Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Post-lecture discussions led by either Dr. Ralph Eshelman or Dr. Bradley Gottfried will facilitate a dialogue between the presenter and the audience. For more information on the series visit: www.jefpat.org or www.calvertmarinemuseum.com.

From My Backyard to Our Bay is a small but powerful booklet that was first developed by the Baltimore Soil Conservation District. From there, several counties republished a version tailored to their county resources. Calvert Countys booklet was developed by the Citizens Green Team. FREE COPIES can be obtained at Annmarie Gardens, at local libraries, or downloaded at calvertgreenexpo.org. If the 17.5 million residents who live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed area read this booklet, and took to heart its suggestions and best practices, the Chesapeake Bay would see a dramatic increase in health.
Bay-Wise landscapes minimize negative impacts on our waterways by using smarter lawn management techniques and gardening practices. The University of Maryland Extension Master Gardener Bay-Wise program in Calvert County offers hands-on help with managing your landscape by providing information, a site visit, and landscape certifications. Our yardstick checklist is easy to understand and follow, and our team of trained Master Gardeners can help guide you through it while offering suggestions to improve both the appearance and sustainability of your landscape.

By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer The Humane Society of Calvert County is hosting its 11th Annual Pet 5K on Saturday, September 14. The event began as a fundraiser for the Humane Society in 2002 as a fun way for both people and dogs to be able to interact with each other. Kristy Harrocks Anderson came up with the idea and since then, the event has been a tradition to look forward to. The run is held at Our Lady Star of the Sea in Solomons, where it has been hosted since the beginning. The event starts at 8:30 a.m. and is timed by the Chesapeake Bay Running Club. Spectators are welcome to attend. There are several award divisions for the race including several for children as well as overall top male & female, and top three in each male & female age group. The event is $30 for adults, $25 for children 6 to 12 and children 5 and under are free. Tshirts are available on a first come, first serve basis for those who register for the race on the day of the event. The Annual Pet 5K will begin and end at 50 Alexander Lane. Registration begins at 7 a.m. All money raised will be used to benefit the Humane Society of Calvert County. Refreshments, dog-related gifts and a parade of adoptable dogs will also be offered at the event.

Maryland Senate President Mike Miller came out to support the cause. To have a blues festival in Southern Maryland is unbelievable, he said. The final count was over 1,000 people, according to End Hunger spokesperson Jackie Miller. They do not yet have a final number for the weekends proceeds. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

As a closing to the 2013 Community Concert Series, the St. Leonard Volunteer Fire Department was home to Brantley Gilbert, along with Drake Whit and Corey Smith, on Sunday, September 8. Brantley Gilberts music embraces more of the rock and roll side of country music, and his unique style brings him a wider range of fans. Gilbert was nominated for the Country Music Association award for new artist of the year in 2012 and won the American Country Music award for Top New Male Artist in 2013. While his debut album was released on an independent record label, that did not stop country music fans from embracing the outlaw side of country and recognizing him as something special. While this was Gilberts first time in Calvert County, the crowd made an impact on him and he left them with a promise of return.
