Governor OMalley Declares March to be Responsible Gambling and Problem Gambling Awareness Month
In cooperation with the National Council on Problem Gambling, Governor Martin OMalley has declared March to be Responsible Gambling and Problem Gambling Awareness Month in Maryland. The public awareness campaign provides information about Marylands responsible gambling initiatives and resources as well as the warning signs of problem gambling. Four casinos are open in Maryland and two more are slated to open by the end of 2016. Marylands casinos offer a safe and fun environment where visitors can spend discretionary entertainment funds. While the majority of the population is able to enjoy gambling in a responsible manner, approximately 3.4% of Marylanders do face some sort of gambling addiction. Though the percentage is small, the personal and financial costs of this addiction are often devastating. Since the first casino opened in the state in 2010, the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC), in collaboration with other partners, has implemented programs and services to promote responsible gambling and problem gambling awareness. The Maryland Voluntary Exclusion Program (VEP), established in 2011, allows residents to legally ban themselves from casinos and from playing Maryland Lottery games. Participants are subject to arrest for criminal trespass and fines if found on casino property and agree to forfeit their winnings if they play Maryland Lottery games. The Voluntary Exclusion Program is an effective tool of personal responsibility, said Stephen Martino, Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency (MLGCA) director. The program reflects our continued commitment to promote responsible gambling. Another resource is the Maryland Alliance for Responsible Gambling (MARG)s website, mdgamblinghelp.org. MARG is a statewide partnership formed in 2011 to coordinate and maximize Marylands resources. Its website provides information about the toll-free problem gambling helpline (1-800-522-4700), offers help finding counselors, provides statistics and advice for those affected by gambling addiction, and offers information on how to sign up for the state VEP. "We are committed to remaining vigilant in promoting responsible gambling throughout our state, and I commend MLGCA Director Stephen Martino and his MARG colleagues for making our efforts a reality," said Governor Martin O'Malley. "The resources available for those who suffer from gambling addiction and their families are comprehensive, easily accessible, and further illustrate the state's commitment to the well-being of its citizens." The MLGCA is responsible for all matters relating to regulation of the states casinos. In this regulatory role, the agency oversees all internal controls, auditing, security, surveillance, background investigation, licensing and accounting procedures for the facilities. To keep Marylanders informed and maintain integrity and transparency in its regulation of the states casinos, the MLGCA posts monthly financial reports on casino revenue on its website, gaming.mdlottery.com.

COUNTY NEWS Lynch - Republican Candidate for Register of Wills for Calvert County
The Calvert Gazette
Lynch noted that families spend a life time accumulating wealth to provide for their loved ones after their passing. Lynch said With the passage of increasingly complicated federal and state tax laws, the administration of an estate can often be stressful to the family especially given the fact that it is conducted so recent to the loss of a loved one. Having practiced estate law and administration of estates throughout Maryland over the last 30 years, and having a Master of Laws in Federal Income Taxation, Lynch believes his academic, practical and legal experience will allow him to serve his fellow citizens in Calvert County. A resident of Owings Maryland for 14 years, Lynch believes that a strong democracy depends on engaged citizens and dedicated, competent leaders willing to step forward and serve in public office. When asked why he was running for office Lynch said, Our public offices and institutions become stronger when interested candidates offer voters choices as to who will represent them. For more information on Lynchs campaign for Register of Wills for Calvert County, visit his Facebook page at Mark Lynch for Register of Wills or email mslynch@ comcast.net Press Release Submitted by Mark S. Lynch.

Mark S. Lynch, Esq. of Owings, Maryland has announced his candidacy as the Republican Candidate for the Office of Register of Wills for Calvert County in the 2014 primary and general election. The Register of Wills appoints and oversees personal representatives who administer estates and serves as a clerk to the Orphans Court. Lynch said that if elected he would promote customer service, implement an education program for the public about the importance of wills and provide resources to help them do so, continue automation efforts to improve efficiency and make integrity a hallmark of the office. Lynchs main goal would be to implement an Alternative Dispute Resolution or Mediation program to give families an alternative means to resolve their disagreements outside the courtroom to lessen the cost of litigation and facilitate prompt resolution of controversies. A practicing attorney in estate administration and estate and trust litigation, Lynch said he has witnessed firsthand the family arguments that can occur when there is a dispute about the provisions of a Last Will & Testament or in estate proceedings where there is no will left behind. Mediation, as an alternative to the judicial process, would give grieving families the opportunity to avoid mis-understandings and resolve conflicts at a more affordable cost before irreparable family conflict occurred.

Appeal Elementary Student Council Reaches Roy Rogers Hosts Appeal Elementary Fundraiser Out to Community
On Feb. 20, the Appeal Elementary School Student Council hosted a soup luncheon for local businesses and nonprofits. The following businesses and nonprofits attended the event: Community Bank of the Chesapeake Olivet United Methodist Church Edward Jones Harvest Fellowship Church Tice Electric Blue Sails Counseling Teachers Choice Childcare Cove Point Self Storage H & R Block The Striped Rock Restaurant Little Protgs Learning Center DD & L Investment Group St. Paul United Methodist Church Gary Mason& Daughter bus contractors Chesapeake Ranch Estates Happys Diner Lusby Post Office Triantos Painting Giant O.W.R.C. (wildlife rescue) The theme of the event was centered around how a bowl of soup represents the community, school, and parents. Each student council member had a speaking role in which they discussed how the bowl represented the community to include businesses, the school, and their homes, the ingredients represented everything they were learning at home and in school, and the spoon (the people stirring the soup) represented the teachers, parents, and community mentors. The students were able to articulate how the community, school, and businesses are all interconnected and if one is missing, the community would not be as strong. Appeal Elementary School students are encouraged to take what they learn at school back to their communities so they can make their community stronger. Each representative of each business or nonprofit provided the students words of encouragement. Submitted by Appeal Elementary School Principal Charles Treft

are to support artistic presentations that further the cultural arts development of students in state chartered public and private schools located in Calvert County, Maryland. Grants are offered annually. The council grants more than $20,000 to art teachers to fund programs and projects they could not normally afford, Chambers said. Funding for the Arts in Education program is restricted to programming and presentations by Maryland artists who must meet high educational goals and professional standards. Teachers are encouraged to invite family members, other students and staff to performances and activities supported by these Arts Council grants. Arts in Education funding is provided by the Maryland State Arts Council. Grantees must give credit to the Arts Council of Calvert County and the Maryland State Arts Council in brochures, programs, news releases, publications, and other publicity materials, according to the art council website. Grant applications are currently being accepted. Application packages can be found at www.calvertarts. org. This June will mark the 19th annual awards ceremony, where the Pat Carpenter Award (which honors a teacher in the area), the Mary Harrison Award (which honors a community members who has supported the arts) and the Mary Beth Harry Award (which honors a high school senior planning to pursue the arts in college) will be presented. Monetary awards are given out during the awards ceremony as well. In addition to promoting youth art and art in schools, the council has been actively involved in exposing the community to as many types of art as possible. The council has sponsored the Annmarie Gardens Arts Fest, the Calvert Pines Senior Center Arts Show , the Plein Air Festival in Solomons and the College of Southern Maryland Twilight Music Festival, Chambers said, and they are always looking for opportunities to expand their reach in the community. The council also promotes local artists.

and media, from jewelry to paintings and photos to pottery. Students in the county have a chance to get their first taste of a professional showcase, and even non-visual artists can find a place in the gallery during open mic nights.
There are currently 27 artists involved in the gallery, Chambers said. New artists are accepted through a jurying process. As a 501c3, the gallery highlights artwork by the Southern Maryland community and partners with community groups and organizations for its shows. Like the art council itself, the gallery promotes youth art. The Mary Beth Harry Art Studio is open to different public or private schools monthly, Chambers said. The co-op artists choose the schedule for monthly art shows. Artists take turns working in the gallery, and have collaborated with Art Works on 7th and North End Gallery to bring in additional volunteers and expose patrons to even more art, Chambers said. The most recent show, HEAT! runs through April 5 and features four co-op artists sculptors Amanda Willis, Ray Bogle, Randy Estabrook and Denise Breitburg. The four artists did a similar show last year, Bogle said. We always talk about the work were doing, Breitburg said. In addition to showing pieces created by all four artists, they collaborated to create four custom mirrors. Each show has a reception, which gives fans an opportunity to meet their favorite artist. John Campbell came out to the HEAT! reception in March 8 to meet Bogle. He owns two of Bogles pieces, one kept at Campbells residence in St. Leonard and the other kept at his Washington, D.C. home. He said this was his first opportunity to meet the artist hes admired, and
his first order of business was to walk up to Bogle and say Ive been wanting to meet you. To Breitburg, getting to meet people who are interested in art has been a highlight of showing her pieces and volunteering at the gallery. The gallery is always looking for volunteers interested in art to work as docents, Chambers said. For more information, visit www.calvertarts.org or www.calvartgallery.org. The CalvART Gallery is located at 110 South Solomon's Island Road in Prince Frederick. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

In addition to helping with the basics, Houde helps create embellishments and touches, such as flowers or sea creatures, to personalize works. She said the pieces become tokens of where the artists are in their lives. House holds at least one class per month. During her next class, she intends to lead artists in weaving baskets out of clay to be used as fruit or bread bowls. A follow-up night on March 31 will allow artists to paint and finish their pieces. All work is done at the pottery studio at Annmarie Gardens, which has come a long way, Houde said.

With information technology firmly embedded in daily life, electric utilities like Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) depend heavily on computer equipment to help keep the lights on for their customers. Utilities also depend on technology experts who know how to create and maintain software programs that ensure that all computerized systems run efficiently. Encouraging the programmers of tomorrow is the goal of the Southern Maryland High School Computer Bowl, which marked its 25th anniversary on March 1 at North Point High School in Waldorf. This years Computer Bowl event featured almost 60 young computer experts in a test of their coding skills and technical knowledge. Sponsors for the annual competition are SMECO, the College of Southern Maryland, Booz Allen Hamilton, and the public school systems of Calvert, Charles, and St. Marys counties. Fifteen teams from seven high schools in Southern Maryland faced the challenging literacy and programming tests in the Computer Bowl. In the first round of the competition, students took a written test of their knowledge of computer history, hardware, and software. In the second round, teams of three to four students created computer pro-

Joe Burgin from the College of Southern Maryland and Catherine Wood of System Planning Corporation also served as judges. Lora Bennett and John Stine with Charles County Public Schools developed the literacy and programming tests used in the competition. SMECO is a customer-owned electric cooperative, and we are proud to be a J.D. Power 2014 Customer Champion. We are one of an elite group of 50 U.S. companies to be named to this list. SMECO provides electricity to more than 156,000 services in southern Prince Georges County, and in Charles County, St. Marys County, and all but the northeast portion of Calvert County. Co-ops are distinctly different from investor-owned
utilities because co-ops are owned by their customers, and these members elect the men and women who serve on the Board of Directors. Co-ops also issue capital credits to their members. What are capital credits? They are the members share of the co-ops margins, based on how much electricity the member purchased and the rate at which the account was billed. SMECOs margins revenue less expensesare used as working capital for new construction and system improvements. When SMECOs Board of Directors determines that a percentage of the capital credits can be distributed to members through a general refund, capital credits will be issued by check or credited to members electric bills.
