COUNTY NEWS
Upcoming Legislative Commissioners Lukewarm on Proposed Session Could see Dram Law, Budget Issues Amendment
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer A proposed zoning ordinance amendment that would allow indoor commercial recreation facilities with special exception and conditions in the light industrial zoning district was met with trepidation from the Board of County Commissioners at their Oct. 22 meeting. The amendment is proposed to allow facilities such as indoor recreational soccer fields, dance studios and music studios. Commissioner Pat Nutter was in favor of forwarding the amendment to the Planning Commission for further study, but questioned an aspect that would see such uses going before the Appeals Board. Commissioners Jerry Clark and Susan Shaw were not in favor of the amendment, seeing it as potentially drawing business away from the town centers. I havent supported it in the past and Im sure I wont support it in the future, Clark said, adding he would give the matter the consideration it deserves before making up his mind. Commissioner Evan K. Slaughenhoupt Jr. said the amendment, brought about at the request of local business owners, shows an effort on the part of business owners to keep their operations viable and may show a need for small business support in the county. The commissioners voted 3-2 to send the amendment to the Planning Commission at a future meeting. For more information, visit www. co.cal.md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Tri-County Council welcomed Southern Maryland Delegates Tony ODonnell (R-29C) and Sally Jameson (D-28) to talk about the legislative session to begin on Jan. 8, 2014. Projections show a $400 million shortfall in the next fiscal year, Jamison said, adding that the state had been addressing the deficit but the federal government shutdown could be a setback. Compounding the issue is the fact that, because of the coming election year, officials will be reluctant to consider tax increases. There will be quite a hearty debate, he said. Another possible issue in the coming session is a dram shop legislation, which would hold those with a liquor license liable for incidents of injuries or deaths as the result of drinking at their establishments, ODonnell said, adding the matter would draw protests from restaurant and bar owners. Other topics the delegates said would be discussed in the 2014 legislative session would be alternative energy and its possible use in Maryland and a 43 year extension to keep the Conowingo Dam operating. ODonnell said if legislators want silt dredged from behind the dam, preventing it from exiting with overflow when the dam is opened, they have to make it happen before extending the operations license. The Tri-County Council meets quarterly on a rotating basis throughout Southern Maryland. The council is made up of representatives of the county commissioners, elected officials and citizens from Calvert, Charles and St. Marys County. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Martin remembered a case involving MySpace a few years ago that would have fallen under Graces Law. Victims invoking Graces law must be under 18, Martin said, though bullies can be, and have been, adults and children. The new law closes a gap, Martin said, adding that she would have liked to have seen a stiffer penalty. Wells sees the law as a response to an escalating series of cases that had no real remedy. Anybody bullying a young person using any form of technology is now subject to criminal charges, Wells said. Calvert County Sheriffs Office Lieutenant Steve Jones said law enforcement will continue to rely on the public to bring issues to their attention when it comes to the internet. There is not enough manpower to monitor every social networking site around the clock. The law may deter individuals from cyber bullying because they know the repercussions, Jones said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Goldsmith said, and the results are kept confidential. As with the traditional avenue, notation is made of the complaint and what method is used to address the matter. Approximately 20 complaints brought to the sheriffs office were resolved using Op eration True Perspective in the past year, Goldsmith said. When beginning the program, Goldsmith looked at similar programs throughout the county, singling out one in Denver, Colo., that he wanted to imitate. He asked
a trainer from Colorado to come teach a seminar, which was attended by officers from Calvert and St. Marys County in addition to representatives from Maryland State Police, Goldsmith said.

Running Hare Vineyard Running Hare Vineyard is located on a 300-acre farm in Prince Frederick run by husband and wife team Mike and Barbara Scarborough. Its easy for an individual to think theyve taken a wrong turn when coming out to Running Hare Vineyard. After turning off the main road, the path to the winery is more than a mile and curves through the woods. When they first opened, several visitors turned back, believing they had missed the winery, Scarborough said. This prompted them designing little signs saying keep going and almost there to encourage visitors to drive just a little further to get to the little bit of Tuscany and Napa in Southern Maryland. The winery is a hobby that truly got out of control, Barb Scarborough said. The Scarboroughs planted the first 100 vines in 2003. Since then, they added several varietals of grapes and have expanding to 5,000 vines over an eight-acre vineyard. Running Hare Vineyard opened in August 2008 as a commercial winery. Since then, the winery has expanded from a 550-gallon tank capacity to a 12,772-gallon tank capacity and has produced over 100,000 bottles of wine to date. The winery will expand to include a microbrewery in the next year, Scarborough said. Running Hare wines have since won multiple regional and international medals for their wines. In April 2010, Running Hare Vineyard celebrated the grand opening of its new 8,400 sq. ft Tuscan styled events villa for weddings, corporate retreats and special events. It is a popular location for weddings and receptions, Scarborough said. The first weddings held in the venue were booked when the villa was still a plan on paper. Because it has become such a popular venue Scarborough recommends parties interested in using the villa book reservations as early as possible. The villa can hold 250 people, with more space in the outdoor tasting areas.

Cove Point Winery Cove Point Winery, the first winery in Southern Maryland and 13th in Maryland, is a small boutique winery located in Lusby. The winery purchases grapes and juice from various growers in Maryland, California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to supplement the grapes grown on the two-acre parcel of land located behind the fifth hole at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course. Owners Timothy and Sheryl Lewis planted the first vines in 2002 as a hobby and the business grew from there, according to operations manager Andrew Burdick. In 2004, the owners began making approximately 2,000 gallons of wine. Now they make more than 7,000 gallons annually with plans to produce more. The winery offers an extensive collection of port wines, with eight currently offered and another scheduled for release in November, Burdick said. Their signature products include the Lighthouse Mists line, featuring wines such as a Strawberry Riesling and a Black Cherry Pinot Noir, and the Cove Point Red blend. Burdick didnt know much about wine before working at Cove Point Winery. Its been a complete learning experience, he said, adding that he was inspired to learn by his mothers love of wine. The owners plan to get into other aspects of alcohol production, including beer and spirits, Burdick said. Before expanding their business they intend to get a larger facility to accommodate their growing businesses. For more information, visit covepointwinery.com or call 410-326-0949.

The tasting room is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m. Perigeaux Vineyards and Winery Perigeaux Vineyards and Winery is one of Calverts newest wineries. The tasting room opened in spring of 2012. The first wines were created in 2005, with the products going to friends and family of co-owners John Behun and Mark Flemming. The idea to go into business together came out of a conversation at a Department of Justice picnic in Alexandria, Va. John liked the idea of 500 plants, Flemming said. Like a garden on steroids. Perigeaux Vineyards & Winery was established with the planting of the first vineyard of 2,200 vinifera vines in April 2002. During the last nine years, this has expanded to include four estate vineyards encompassing eight acres of nearly 5,000 vines. It takes three to four years before vines produce good fruit for wine production, Flemming said. The vineyards are growing faster than they thought they would, Behun said. During the year, they battle weather and animals to ensure the grapes make it to harvest. This year, birds made off with 20 to 25 percent of the produce because they came earlier than expected and before Behun and Flemming could get nets up to keep them away. From a first harvest of about 48 pounds of grapes, Perigeauxs production now includes approximately 14 tons of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Zinfandel and Montepulciano. Behun and Flemming, with help from friends and family members, harvest, crush and de-stem the grapes, create wines and bottle the final products on site. Only the first grapes produced in a season can be used for wine, Behun said. Any subsequent growth is used for the jams and jellies that the owners give to family and friends. Perigeaux is the only winery in Maryland that grows Zinfandel grapes and one of three on the east coast, Flemming said. Flemming designed the interior of the tasting room, converted from a two-bedroom house, and the larger house on the property where the wine is made and stored. For more information, visit www.perigeaux.com or call 410-586-2710. Perigeaux is located at 8650 Mackall Road in St. Leonard. The tasting room is open Wednesday through Friday from 2 to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m.

In 1992, the EPA awarded a contract to a private firm to conduct a study on the effect of smoking. On January 7,1993 the report was delivered. It clearly stated that passive tobacco smoke does indeed contain a Class "A" carcinogen that causes cancer. This is NOT a harmful invasion of one's body that should be allowed to happen, especially when it can be so easy to prevented. Banning smoking in Calvert County parks is a rule that our County Commissioners should implement immediately. Both of my parents were chain smokers. They both died of what the doctor called "a classic case of smoker's lung cancer." Today, it is clearly stated on the outside of every

England, Germany, France, Bahamas, Greece, Canada, Japan, and many trips around the U.S. In 1976 Bill suggested they take up sailing; after training at a sailing school in Annapolis, MD, they bought the first of their eight boats, a Cal 22 they named Sunshine. They took up the boating life and for the next 35 years sailed everywhere, circumnavigating the United States, sailing the Mediterranean around the Greek Isles, making an annual trip to the Bahamas, and making treasured friendships everywhere they went. Around 1986 they got a Maltese puppy and named her Chessie. From then on the trio were inseparable. In 1987 Mary and Bill designed and built their dream home on the Chesapeake Bay in Solomons Island, Maryland. Mary and Bill spent many happy years there, enjoyed their friends and having cocktails overlooking the Bay every evening. Mary joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary and enjoyed the job, especially an assignment as lighthouse keeper. Mary volunteered as a reader at Solomons Nursing Home and was a faithful supporter of the Calvert Animal Welfare League, Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy, and animal welfare causes in general. In 1997, Mary and Bill bought a condo overlooking the Bay in Solomons Island. They lived there devoted to one another until Bill passed away in 2011. Mary spoke and thought of Bill every day, and beleived at the moment of her death that Bill and Chessie were coming for her on their boat and they would all sail away and be happy forever. Mary is survived by her four children and by nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. If you would like to honor Marys memory, a donation to the Alzheimers Association would be a fine tribute. Services and internment were private. All arrangements were handled by Lee Funeral Home Calvert, P.A.
He was raised across the Tangier Sound on Smith Island. Willie entered the United States Navy in 1955 and served until 1957. He was stationed in Norfolk, Va., and as well as other duty stations. As a young boy, he explored and learned the ways of the island and water. He followed the family and island tradition of going to work as a waterman, and he learned to navigate the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay and Inter Coastal Waterway. The water was not only a livelihood, but a way of life. The water was a passion he developed and transferred to others. While working on the water crabbing in the summer of 1987, he severely injured his hand and had to retire from the water. After recovering from his injury, he went to work installing commercial gas pipe at which he worked until entering semi-retirement in 2008. At this time, he worked part-time at Sneades Hardware and Rod-n-Reel. Willie first met Stephanie Connie Rogers in the spring/summer of 1977 and they were later married on May 2, 1987 in North Beach, Md., at a pool side wedding. They resided in North Beach until moving to Owings in August 2004. Willie was preceded in death by his parents, and a brother Joe Kitching. He is survived by his wife Stephanie Connie Kitching; sons Gary W. Kitching and wife Karen of Crisfield, Md., and John M. Curtin of Washington, D.C.

Edward G. Becke, 90
Edward G. Becke, a lifelong civilian Navy employee who resided in Fairhaven, Maryland, died at his home on Wednesday, Oct. 9. He was 90 years old. Edward Garland Becke was born and raised in Washington, D.C., where he attended D.C. public schools and took classes in engineering at George Washington University. He started his career in 1941 at the Washington Navy Yard working as a machinist during WWII. After the War, he began work at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), where he would work in various capacities for the next 68 years. During his time at NRL, Mr. Becke designed and installed the first low frequency submarine periscope antenna at New London, Conn. He was part of a group that developed the first U.S. spy satellite, which was launched in June of 1960. His patented design was used in over 1000 satellite antennas. In the early 1960s he traveled around the world to help plan, design, and supervise the installation of a worldwide network of ground antenna stations for satellites. At the time of his death, he was still working one day a week as a consultant on the history of NRL. In addition to his career with the Navy, Mr. Becke was widely regarded for his contributions to the community of Fairhaven on Herring Bay, where he lived for 58 years. He donated his time, tools and expertise to help individual neighbors and the community as a whole. One of the many projects he spearheaded was the building of a community swim platform in 1965 that has been used by generations of residents. In 1983 he placed a Christmas tree on the swim platform as a gift to a dying friend. With the help of neighbors over the past 30 years, that has become a tradition in memory of those who have passed. His tireless efforts on behalf of the community drew many commendations over the years. In 2001 he received a Governors Citation (Parris Glendening) for contribution to the betterment of your community and the great State of Maryland, and was named an Honorary Com-

By Sarah Miller Staff Writer While Bobby Gatton was waiting for his truck to be emptied at a gravel pit on Cedar Lane he decided to get out of the truck and stretch his legs. He spotted something shiney on the ground and kicked it, thinking it was a piece of exposed pipe. It turned out to be a ring which, as he would later learn, had been missing for 27 years. Gatton brought the ring back to Renee Davey, an employee with Dirt Works Excavation. "I thought it was Scottish," Gatton said referring to the bagpipes on the side. Davey used the emblem to begin her search on the internet and found the ring belonged to Mihael Allen Kuhn, a 1983 graduate from Lake Wales Senior High School - the highlanders. Kuhn moved to Southern Maryland in 1986 and was living in the Calvert Ranch Estates in Lusby with his wife, Joy Kuhn, when he died on Aug. 25. The ring was found on Sept. 24, the same day he would have turned 48. Joy had moved to Florida to be closer to her parents when Davey called
