County Moves On Dominion Lease
Te Board of Calvert County Commis-
sioners (BOCC) held a public hearing at its
meeting Mar. 18 and voted to move forward
with leases with Dominion to use county-
owned land near the plant.
Te Department of Public Works
commissioned an appraisal that reported the
value of a fve-year land lease to be $7,623
per year per acre. Applying that value per
acre over all of the land proposed to be leased
yields an annual rental value of $120,254 for
use of over 79 acres. Tat works out to
$10,021.17 rent paid to the county per
month.
Te draft lease is for an original 4-year
term with Dominion permitted to exercise
24 one-month lease extensions. Dominion
plans to use the property for construction
staging purposes and of-site parking for
employees. See pages 14 and 15 for more

MD Rt. 4 Improvements
In The Pipeline
Te Maryland State Highway
Administration is beginning to address
safety concerns on Rt. 4 in southern
Anne Arundel County by authorizing a
concept study for $300,000 as the frst
step toward making it a safer roadway.
Commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt
[R] announced at the Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) meeting on
Tues. Mar. 18 that he has received notice
of the study for the stretch from the
Calvert County line to Lothian where
there are no shoulders or berms, several
hills, and a school bus stop. Commuters
know the area because there have been
numerous accidents there that snarl
trafc, sometimes for hours. Slaughen-
houpt recently pointed out the danger-
ous situation in a meeting with the
BOCC and state highway ofcials.
After meeting with Senator Tomas
V. Mike Miller, Jr. (D-Calvert County),
Secretary Jim Smith stated in a letter that
a concept study will be completed to best
address highway safety. Te letter stated
that the study will look at the possibility
of creating shoulders and addressing
other safety concerns along Rt. 4. Te
study will be completed in time for the
next Draft Consolidated Transportation
Program in July.
"Safety is, and must continue to be a
top concern", stated Senator Tomas V.
Miller, Jr. "I am grateful to the Secretary
and Department for hearing our
concerns about the safety of Route 4,
and am pleased to see a concept study go
forward. Tis is a necessary frst step to
ensure that we improve drivers' sight
distances, create shoulders, and other
necessary improvements to this hazard-
ous area."
Women Honored At
Awards Luncheon
Te Calvert County Commission
for Women and the Calvert County
League of Women Voters (LWV) joined
forces to honor a dozen distinguished
women at their 12th Annual Women of
the World (WOW) Awards Luncheon at
the College of Southern Maryland
campus in Prince Frederick. Te
luncheon is held each year in March to
coincide with Womens History Month.
Tose honored this year were presented
with plaques and proclamations from
state and federal ofcials were. Te
Calvert County Commission for
Women selected honored women in four
categories: Randi Vogt (Advocacy),

(Service) and Erin Dix (Woman of
Tomorrow).
Other honorees are: Naomi
Watkins, named by Calvert Collabora-
tive for Children and Youth Inc.;

Former journalist, author and
attorney Carol McCabe Booker of Lusby
was the keynote speaker, recalling the
tough battles fought by women after the
Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
After graduating from college, she said
she applied for a job as a writer with
Newsweek, but was informed that
women were only hired as researchers,
not writers. Later, Booker did work as a
reporter and writer for Voice of America
and also as a freelancer for the Washing-
ton Post, Readers Digest, and other
noted media organizations.
Booker declared that although there
have been gains for women in recent
years, theres still a long way to go to
reach true equality. She told the record
crowd of 185 attendees, We still only
make 77 cents for every $1 a man
makes. And, she said that single moms
are twice as likely as single dads to be
poor.
Mayor On The Mend
Chesapeake Beach Mayor Bruce
Wahl is now at home, recuperating well
after sufering cardiac arrest on Wed.
Mar. 5.
In a FaceTime interview just before
the Chesapeake Current went to print,
Wahl told us, I feel blessed. My church
family at Chesapeake Church organized
a whole team to bring us meals and its
wonderful that we have not had to deal
with that sort of thing. Teyve been
incredible.
Wahl, who works for National
Public Radio (NPR) was on temporary
duty at a diferent assignment at PBS in
Virginia when he sufered cardiac arrest.
He credits his co-workers for their fast
action.
I had reported to workspace for the
frst time that morning in Springfeld. I
went into the building with my
computer and portfolio, and a guy was
showing me where I was going to sit, and
I ended up on the foor. I credit the guy
I was with for saving my life. Tey have
a trained CPR team that immediately
got the defbrillator, and started CPR,
and Im convinced thats what saved my
life. I ended up in Inova Alexandria
Hospital but dont remember any of it.
When I work up later in the hospital, I
was really out of it.
Two days later on Friday, they
implanted a pacemaker/defbrillator in
my chest. Tey did a catheterization to
determine damage to my heart but
found no blockages whatsoever and no
heart damage. For the grace of God, I
know I really dont have any issues at
this point with my cognitive abilities,
Wahl adds.
He further tells us, Tere was a
Town Council Work Session this week
and Council Vice President Pat
Mahoney conducted that meeting and
he will be conducting all the meetings
for the foreseeable future. I will not be at
the Town Council meeting Tursday
night. At his suggestion, he ofered to
conduct the meetings until I feel up to
coming back. But I have not given up
control of the town, Im not incapaci-
tated, but weve agreed (Mahoney and
other stafers) to a sharing of duties
which makes a lot of sense.

County Aims To Establish
Drug Court
Te Board of Calvert County Com-
missioners (BOCC) has agreed to seek
funding for new Adult Drug Court.
Te BOCC authorized staf to
prepare grant applications on behalf of
the Circuit Court for Calvert County for
state and federal government funding to
establish the Adult Drug Court. Calvert
County Circuit Court Administrator
Emanuel Demedis said a letter of support
signed by the BOCC only commits the
county to providing in-kind support.
Financial assistance is being requested
from the US Department of Justice to
establish the court, which would be for
those convicted of non-violent crime and
also have addiction problems.
Te letter of support signed by the
BOCC states, We believe our commu-
nity would beneft from a program
designed to assist adults who come into
the Court's criminal system for matters
driven by substance abuse and addic-
tion.
Demedis said a key component is to
track the progress of participants through
an 18-month program. Participants must
attend counseling individually and in a
group, and are required to attend court
every week. He added that results from
similar courts established in other coun-
ties are very, very encouraging.
Commissioner Evan K. Slaughen-
houpt Jr. [R] commented that he hopes it
can help the county deal with drug issues.
He added, Tis is not going to be a
single-shot solution. Hopefully, this will
help in a measured fashion.
Town Seeks Bids For Park
By Norma Jean Smith
During a contentious meeting of
North Beach Town Council on Turs.
Mar. 13, members did vote to seek
requests for proposals (RFPs) to get a
better idea of the costs of some of the
proposed elements of a park planned for a
lot the town has purchased at the corner of
3rd St. and Bay Ave.
Te controversy was stirred up by
fiers distributed to town residents in the
days before the meeting claiming that
Mayor Mark Frazer was trying to build a
$2 million park, a charge that Frazer
denies.
We have no frm fgures on the park.
We need to hear from the people who
actually do the work, the mayor said at
the meeting, in recommending the town
seek proposals and actual cost quotes.
Councilman Greg McNeill became
confrontational with Councilman Gregg
Dotsons wife, Chris, during the meeting
where she admitted her involvement in
printing and delivering the fiers. McNeill
said he felt the fiers were to create a
problem maybe because its an election
year?
Teres speculation that Councilman
Dotson may run for Mayor of North
Beach this year. Mayor Frazer has
confrmed to the Chesapeake Current that
he will seek re election this November.
Te fiers so disturbed one citizen that
he said he gave up the one evening he had
to spend with his young daughter to do
his civic duty and came to this meeting to
voice his opinion. Most however, said
they were in favor of a park at the site, just
not an extravagant one.
Planning has been underway for
months for the park by the North Beach
Parks Commission, which was appointed
by the mayor. Te members of the Com-
mission are town residents Ed Rupard,
Gary Pendleton, Joan Krell, Abigail
Francisco and Diane Burr.
Te park is tentatively named
Bayfront Park & Sculpture Garden, and it
would be located at a large empty lot at
Bay Ave. and 3rd St. in North Beach. In
order to reduce costs, the mayor says the
towns Department of Public Works
(DPW) will grade the site for sidewalks,
the water feature and other improve-
ments. However, DPW is not able to
construct the sidewalks or the pond.
Terefore, bids have to be solicited to
obtain actual costs for that portion of the
work.
Mayor Frazer also went to Annapolis
last weekend to ask for state money to help
construct the park.
Te audience was reassured by
council members that this is will not be a
$2 million park and that the RFPs will be
issued to obtain actual costs so that
decisions can be made about what can and
cannot be done. Te council unani-
mously agreed to have RFPs prepared.
In other action, contractor, S.E.
Davis plans to begin work this month on
a new fshing platform and pier renova-
tion project. Staging and storage of
materials will be on the north side of the
beach. Tey plan to start work at the
beach end of the pier and work out to
minimize disruption to beach visitors as
much as possible. Tis is a 130-day
contract to be completed by the end of
July.
Also, the Welcome Center restroom
remodeling project is aiming for comple-
tion by May 1.
Council heard that the Army Corps
of Engineers continues work on the fnal
engineering scope needed to start design,
channels and culverts for the wetland
revitalization project at the north end of
Town.
Te council agreed to have bids and
specifcations prepared for a contractor to
do repairs to the bike path along the
boardwalk. Work on the path, which is
2,500 feet long from 1st & Chesapeake
Ave. to 7th St. includes patching, leveling
to improve drainage, mill and repave the
entire pathway.

Dear Chesapeake Current readers,
When elected to the North Beach
Town Council in 2010, I promised to
be an independent and honest voice for
town citizens. When asked to spend
money, I fght to ensure that every cent
is well accounted for and that we are
getting the biggest bang for our buck.
Tis is why I am appalled by the
recent misinformation campaign
regarding the 3rd Street Park Project.
It began as an anonymous fier, which
had a number of wild distortions and at
times out-right lies. At a Council
meeting last week, Councilman Gregg
Dotson continued these accusations
and his wife took responsibility for the
fier, asserting that the Mayor and
Town Council are railroading through
a boondoggle $2 million dollar park
without transparency to citizens. Tis
could not be further from the truth.
Discussions on a potential park
began 18 months ago in September
2012. At that time, the town decided
to purchase a lot on 3rd and Bay
Avenue with the intention of
constructing a park. Te Council voted
unanimously to issue a bond and
acquire the lot for $1.2 million at
historically low interest rates.
Councilman Dotson, who is now
calling the park too expensive,
supported this purchase and seconded
the motion to borrow the money.
Te original estimate for
construction of the park in September
2013 was roughly $800,000,
admittedly a shocking price tag. Every
single Council member and the Mayor
opposed spending that much money.
We went back to the drawing board
and the Mayor asked the Town Staf to
examine alternatives. Because of our
reservations, the Council met nine
more times without taking any action
on the park.
At a March 2014 Town Council
work session, the Public Works
Director, the Town Engineer, and a
professional landscape designer
presented a plan that would reduce the
cost of the park hundreds of thousands
of dollars by performing some of the
work in-house and doing the work in
phases. Te Mayor also revealed that
the town had secured some state grant
money as well as private contributions
for the project and that he would be in
Annapolis that Saturday seeking
additional funding. Tese outside
monies would be used to ofset any cost
of the park by more than $300,000.
To be clear, the Town Council has
made absolutely no commitments. We
have simply asked for bids for the
project. Tere is no obligation that we
spend any money. In fact, we have
previously voted to reject all bids for a
project because the lowest bid was too
high.
I will not support a $2 million
park. I will not support an $800,000
park. I do support having a good
estimate based on informed bids as to
how much the project will cost before
going forward. Councilman Dotson
has opposed this.
Over the past 18 months, the
Council has discussed the park at
length at eleven public meetings. We
have taken six unanimous and public
votes (with Councilman Dotsons
support) moving the park forward. We
sought the publics input by creating a
North Beach Parks Commission, made
up of town citizens to help give input as
to the look, design, and function of the
project. Claims of lack of transparency
or a rush-job just do not hold water.
It is easy in an election year to go light
on truth and heavy on fction.
Tese are the facts. Tese are the
numbers. Tere is no $2 million park.
Sincerely,
Greg McNeill
Councilman
Town of North Beach
Councilman Challenges
Park Opponents
Over the past year a new park in
North Beach has been in the planning
stages. A site has been chosen, land has
been purchased, plans have been
proposed, designs have been suggested,
budgets have been developed and a
committee has been named to help
formulate a plan to propose to the Town
Council. As someone who has always
been concerned with our area, I am
honored to be a member of that
committee.
It has recently come to my attention
that some in our town not only object to
the ideas we have been considering, but
also are spreading incorrect information
via Facebook and fyers posted around
town. Tis anonymous publicity is
infammatory in nature and does not
contribute to the type of positive
community spirit we work so hard to
establish. It is also irresponsible for
anyone to suggest that any of the park
discussions have been conducted in secret
behind closed doors, when meetings are
open for any citizen to attend.
Te park which we are proposing is
one which is not designed to be a source
of income, but rather a source of peace
Resident Voices Support For Park
and beauty. Our community has
numerous other locations which provide
sources of income and activity, but the
intended park would be a site of
tranquility, although not a picnic
ground. It would be an area in which to
enjoy the beauties of nature and of gifted
artists, a place to relax while family
members are shopping or swimming, a
pause in a busy day, a relaxing end to an
exercise routine, somewhere to clear ones
thoughts and contemplate peacefully.
Both residents and visitors alike would be
able enjoy these proposed purposes.
Although some dissidents have
suggested that the costs of this park
would far outweigh the benefts, the
committee has been making every efort
to establish a reasonable budget. Te
acquisition of a site for a park requires
funds, a park of any nature requires some
maintenance expenses, both the benches
and the sculptures that might eventually
be installed would be of materials that
would be the most resistant to the rigors
of our beach environment and require the
least maintenance, and the landscaping
would be designed to provide the most
beauty with the least upkeep.
Funding for this park and its design
has already been received from a variety
of sources: from Maryland State grants,
private and corporate donors, and some
tax funds. As defnite plans develop,
additional funding can be sought from
grants and donors.
Some individuals may object to the
use of taxes for anything other than items
that have a direct practical impact on
residents such as a street lights or pothole
repair. Naturally, I also appreciate
practical uses of the taxes I pay, but I
support funding for a balanced life within
our community. I want to live in an area
that is safe and healthful, an area that
provides the opportunity to earn a living,
pursue and enjoy spare time activities. I
hope to maintain a town that has places
to be active and to relax, a town with
beauty for the mind and the spirit. And,
yes, the taxes we pay can contribute to
this balance. We do not need anyone
spreading misleading and incendiary
information about this project!
I, a local resident, business owner
and community volunteer, am most
appreciative that North Beach is
fortunate to have a mayor who supports
this type of community, one that is
balanced in developing a prosperous,
attractive, safe and positive environment,
one that supports our local residents
interests while encouraging visitors to
take advantage of all our community
ofers. I am very happy we have Mayor
Mark Frazer, and I am proud to
participate in the development of plans
for this park, which extends his vision for
our town as well as the vision of so many
other North Beach residents and business
owners.
Sincerely yours,
Abigail Francisco

Department Reports:
Police Blotter (Cont)
Teen Arrested At School
Anne Arundel County Police say
on March 13, at about 10:20 a.m., a
student at Southern High School in
Harwood approached a teacher and
conveyed that they believed another
student was under the infuence of
alcohol. Te teacher alerted school
administrators, and they brought the
16-year-old male to the ofce to speak
with him regarding a possible alcohol
violation.
Tese discussions led school
ofcials to believe the student drove a
truck to school. Te student was not,
however, authorized to park on
campus. Additionally, school ofcials
had reason to believe the truck
contained contraband prohibited on
school property.
Administrators requested
assistance from the School Resource
Ofcer as they searched the students
truck. During that search, an unloaded
12-gauge shotgun was found in the
trucks covered bed. A single, unspent
12-gauge shotgun shell was found in
the cab, as was a bottle containing an
alcoholic beverage. Te School
Resource Ofcer took custody of the
weapon, the ammunition and alcohol.
Te 16-year-old male was arrested and
transported to the Southern District
station. Prior to the weapons discov-
ery, there are no indications the
student made any threats against
anyone at the school. Te student faces
disciplinary sanctions from Anne Arun-
del County Public Schools in addition
to criminal charges.
Police identifed the suspect as a
16-year-old male from Lothian. He was
cited for underage alcohol possession
and possession of a deadly weapon on
school property.
Thieves Targeting HVAC Systems
Arrest In Lothian Jewelry Theft
Anne Arundel County Police report
seeing an increase in the theft of commer-
cial and residential heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC) Systems.
Police warn that this has become a
county-wide issue. Some thieves are
completely removing the outside units or
while others are destroying them for their
copper content, which they re-sell. Here
are several options they recommend to
protect your investments.
- Place an anti-theft cage around
your outdoor units.
- Install a low-pressure alarm system
on your unit. When the lines to an
HVAC unit are cut, there is a pressure
release, which will immediately activate
the audible/fashing alarm. Both options
are available on-line or possibly through
your HVAC service contractor.
Investigators from the Maryland
State Police (MSP) Criminal Enforce-
ment Division-Central South Region
were contacted by the Southern Mary-
land Information Center (SMIC) last
month regarding a suspicious pawn-
shop transaction involving jewelry at
Max Point Gold Buyers in Waldorf,
Charles County. Te investigation
revealed the jewelry had ben stolen
from a home in Lothian.
A criminal investigation
conducted by troopers assigned to the
MSP-Criminal Enforcement Division
confrmed that the suspicious pawn
transaction was related to a theft
involving multiple jurisdictions.
Troopers used information from the
jewelry to track down the owner, and
inquired about the jewelry. Te owner
checked and discovered that, unbe-
knownst to him, the jewelry had been
stolen from his home in Lothian, Anne
Arundel County.
Trough the investigation, troop-
ers revealed that jewelry was stolen
from the home and sold at Max Point
Gold Buyers. Zachary Wayne Burch,
age 21, of Mechanicsville was identifed
as a suspect in this crime. Troopers
learned that Burch was at the victims
residence in Lothian approximately
two weeks prior, during which he stole
the jewelry without the victim realizing
it was missing.
Burch was located and charged
with theft under $1,000.00 in Anne
Arundel County.

ness of conservation issues relating to
the Chesapeake Bay. Te contest is
open to both amateur and professional
photographers. Te one qualifer is that
the photos must include a body of water
within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Contestants may enter as many as
three photographs. Te CBF is looking
for photographs that portray the
beauty, benefts, and bounty of the Bay
and its watershed. Tat allows for a
wide range of subjects from scenics to
recreation to history and even agricul-
ture. Te ofcial rules and entry infor-
mation can be found at:
cbf.org/photocontest and you should
read them thoroughly before submit-
ting your shots.
I frst became aware of the contest
when a friend of mine entered his
photograph and it was included in the
calendar that was produced the follow-
ing year. He was flming a project for
the National Park Service at Great Falls
on the Potomac and took an amazing
still shot of a Great Blue Heron fshing,
set against the background of one of the
waterfalls. It was a beautiful image. I
would have never thought a Great Blue
Heron would attempt to fsh in such a
turbulent environment. It taught me
(and I am sure, others) something about
herons I never knew before.
I love to share the photographs I
have taken. Actually, I dont consider
myself all that good a photographer and
certainly not a professional. Having said
that, I do like the excuse photography
gives me to get out and observe animal
behavior or just enjoy the outdoors and
an early morning sunrise. I love to relate
what I have seen animals doing to inter-
ested people and photographs help to
tell the story. So, a photo contest was
right up my alley and I decided to enter
the CBF contest the following year.
You may have only one photograph
you feel would really have a chance of
winning. Or you may have tons of
photographs you think would make
good entries. I reviewed the photo-
graphs I had taken up to that point (that
was in 2009) and chose several I
thought might look good on a calendar
and entered those. To my delight, one
was chosen for the calendar produced
the following year. Tat whetted my
appetite and I have entered the contest
almost every year since.
Tis years contest is already under-
way and will close at 5:00 pm on April
11. Photos have to be submitted online
Te frst year I entered the contest, this
image of a male Northern Cardinal was
chosen for the calendars December page.
Tis entry from last years contest was chosen as
the image for December in the 2014 calendar.
A charitable organization also asked and was
given permission to use it in their annual
report as a result of the contest.

submitted as high-resolution JPEG fles.
Each photo must be at least 8x10 (or
2400 x 3000) at 300 dpi and three (3)
megabytes or larger. Any photograph
having a recognizable person must also
have an accompanying model release.
You can fnd examples of printable
model releases online.
When you enter the contest, you
grant CBF the right to reproduce your
photograph in publications, on their
website and in the promotional materi-
als. Tat does not mean they will neces-
sarily use your photo, but you are grant-
ing them a perpetual right to do so.
CBF used one of my images on their
website and also published one of my
photos in their magazine and I was
given credit. Tey also asked my permis-
sion to use an image in a display they
installed in an area Starbucks a couple
of years ago.
Aside from recognition, there are
monetary prizes. Te frst place winner
will receive $500, second place $250
and third place $150. All winners get a
one-year membership to CBF, includ-
ing a subscription to their magazine,
Save the Bay, which is published three
times a year.
Teres also a category called
Viewers Choice and you can go to
their website right after the contests
closing date and vote for your favorite
image. Te winner in this category will
receive $100 and the CBF membership
and magazine.
My advice is to take some time to
review your pictures and consider
whether some of them wouldnt ft the
bill. Many everyday activities, gather-
ings and celebrations provide exactly
the kind of circumstances that make us
reach for our cameras. You might fnd a
contest gem or two amongst them.
Good Luck!

n the cold winter days, if you look to the
skies, you may see a Bald Eagle.
Bald Eagles frequently soar above the
marsh in North Beach looking for a nesting
site. Tere are others nesting around Fishing
Creek in Chesapeake Beach, and still more in
Kings Landing Park, Parkers Creek and other
nature parks in our area. Te pairs with gleaming
white heads and wide dark wings glide and call to
each other with high chirping sounds. In the next
few months, they are settling down and raise two
or three eaglets that will be ready to fy on their
own by late spring.
We love that our deck looks over the North
Beach marsh and we are fortunate to witness
eagles, hawks, osprey and other wild things raise
their young each year. It is thrilling to see the
baby eagles, which are all dark and appear much
bigger than the adults, fying around calling to
their parents.
Dont have a waterfront deck where you can
enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature?
Well the world of technology has opened
up a whole new way of seeing this springtime
spectacle without leaving the comfort of your den
computer chair! Bird cameras or birdcams are all
the rage in the world of wildlife watching.
Tere are scores of websites where you can
log in and watch eggs being laid, baby eaglets
jostling to get the best fsh scraps, eaglets getting
bigger, fedging and taking their frst fight.
I
Bald Eagles mate for life. Tey will return to
the same eyrie, or nest, every breeding season.
Here in southern Maryland and on the lower
Eastern Shore they laid their eggs in late January,
while eagles in the upper Chesapeake Bay and
farther inland start incubating in late February or
March. Tey will take turns sitting on the eggs
for about 34 days and then the hatching will start.
All of the eggs will hatch in a three-day window of
time. Te babies will stay in the nest being fed and
protected for about 12 weeks.
In June they will start to fedge by moving
out of the nest and into the branches of the tall
tree the nest is situated in. Tis is often called
branching and when the urge strikes, an eaglet
will fy out to explore. Te young of the year will
stay around the nest for the rest of the summer
practicing their fsh catching skills.
Tey start of brown but will get a mottled
brown and white appearance as they age. By four
years, they will begin to get some white feathers
on their head. Several molts of old feathers will
allow them to get the characteristic white cap and
tail by fve to six years of age. Ten they are
considered mature adults and will usually return
to the same general area where they were born to
raise their own families.
If you want to go see the real birds in action,
early spring is an excellent time to visit Blackwater
Wildlife Refuge. It has an active nest site, a great
webcam and a phenomenal group of volunteers
dedicated to protecting Eagle habitat. Te auto
tour goes directly under the eagle nest. You
cannot go out and bother the eagles, its illegal
and besides, you may get attacked by angry eagle
parents! Visit fws.gov/blackwater for the best
view.
According to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge,
located across the Bay from us in Cambridge,
MD, Te Chesapeake Bay area has a permanent
Bald Eagle population year-round, but during the
winter the region also hosts transient Bald Eagles
from all along the Atlantic Coast. Currently, Bald
Eagles nest in 20 of Maryland's 23 counties, with
Blackwater Refuge in Dorchester County hosting
the largest concentration of breeding bald eagles
on the East Coast, north of Florida.
When I was a child it was very rare to see
Bald Eagles in the wild. As of 2012, however, the
population in Maryland and along the Bay is over
300 nesting pairs! How did they rebound? Its an
amazing success story of science and public
policy.
According to Patuxent USGS, Many birds

of prey sufered during the 60s and 70s due to the
rampant use of DDT and other dangerous
pesticides. Research done at Maryland's Patuxent
Research Refuge by scientists was documented in
Rachel Carson's classic book "Silent Spring," and
alerted citizens, scientists, and politicians to the
fact that DDT was harming bird populations.
Patuxent scientists discovered that DDT was
working its way up the food chain and thinning
the eggshells of raptors, which made the eggshells
crack when the birds sat on them. Fortunately
DDT was banned in the U.S. in 1972, and
thanks to the Endangered Species Act, as well as
the hard work of many dedicated people, birds of
prey are beginning to rebound.
Blackwater Refuges website goes on to say,
In 2007, the Bald Eagle was ofcially removed
from protection under the Endangered Species
Act because the population has recovered;
however, bald eagles still have some legal
protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
and the Bald Eagle Protection Act, although they
will lose the habitat protection that was aforded
them under the ESA.
As an American and as a naturalist, I am
thrilled to see our emblem of freedom gliding in
the treetops above the marsh. I am also proud that
people found a way to help these birds of prey
survive and fourish. Watching the eagles lay eggs
and sit gingerly on those eggs and raise the little
eaglets has greater meaning when you know that
just 40 years ago the eagles story almost ended.
Being able to watch it happen before your
eyes on camera is a great perk. You can watch the
eagles, ospreys, vultures, and falcons raise their
young. You can chat with other birdcam watchers
and with some programs you can volunteer to
help man the cameras!
Check out Cornell Lab of Ornithology and
Audubons webcam programs to fnd out more
about those opportunities. So I hope I got your
interest peaked and you are ready to do some
eagle watching. Enjoy!

Now that the candidate fling
deadline for the next election has
passed, you may have read some
funny comments such as the one
by Marty Madden on Facebook
where he says, Tere are three
candidates who own or manage
liquor stores. Tere are also
three candidates with law
enforcement backgrounds. And
there is one candidate who owns
a donut shop. At this point, Im
afraid youll have to insert your
own joke.
Now the serious part of the
campaign begins. Each candi-
date must introduce
himself/herself to the voters. A
message must accompany that
introduction. What is the best
way in which to begin both the
introduction and the message?
It all depends on who votes as to
how to reach those voters. Who
votes in Primary campaigns?
More and more voters are regis-
tering as unafliated, commonly
called Independent, so they do
not vote in the Primary election.
Why are more voters registering
as unafliated? I hear many
reasons. Often, registering as
unafliated seems to be a way to
make a statement about unhap-
piness or disillusionment with
the two-party system as prac-
ticed in America. Yet, the irony
is that an unafliated voter not
voting in the Primary has LESS
opportunity to make their voice
heard.
Tere is a saying that all
politics is local. It is true that
decisions made at the local level
can and do afect your daily
quality of life in many ways. In
the last column, I wrote about
the big squeeze that the County
is experiencing from residents
and businesses burdened by the
many taxes and fees imposed at
the State level that are separate
from and do not fund the many
demands on local County
resources, where tax rates have
not been raised. Who is going to
be making decisions about taxes
going forward? Are cuts to
County services going to afect
your quality of life? Te Primary
will narrow your choices for
Governor considerably at the
State level with multiple
contenders on both the Demo-
cratic and Republican sides. Te
Primary will determine how
budget savvy the candidates for
County Commissioner are, and
who is minding the books on the
Board of Education.
Voters in the Primary elec-
tion, coming up early this year
on June 24, with early voting
from June 12-19, get to make
the important frst choice for
those who will be making deci-
sions that directly afect your
life. You can register to vote or
change party registration up
until June 3. Please make every
efort to be a high information
voter on the local level and then
please register to vote with a
party afliation to exercise your
right to vote in the Primary elec-
tion. Please reconsider registra-
tion as an unafliated voter.
Your vote in the Primary Elec-
tion this year will have an
irreversible impact on the politi-
cal landscape in Calvert County
and in Maryland, not just for the
next four years, because deci-
sions made can last for a very
long time and be VERY hard to
undo. Our future depends on it!

Its alive! Hard to believe, after
being buried under snow and ice for
months - but your lawn lives. And
after the beating its taken this
winter, its probably in need of some
serious turf-TLC.
A healthy summer lawn starts
with spring maintenance. Winter
can alter soil pH, compact the soil,
and create conditions that invite
weeds and disease. So what can you
do when winter's receding snow
reveals bare spots, weeds, and other
problems with your patch of green?
Here are some easy tips for a lush,
feels-good between-the toes and
Bay-friendly lawn.
Crabgrass.
A common problem that
plagues lawns, particularly in high-
trafc areas, is soil compaction.
Densely packed soil makes it
difcult for grass to take root and
allows hardier weeds to take over.
To test your yard for this problem,
stick a pitchfork into the ground. If
it cant penetrate more than two
inches, the soil is probably com-
pacted and should be loosened with
an aerator.
Another common lawn ailment
is thatch, a tangle of above-ground
roots and old grass clippings that
can make it difcult for water and
nutrients to soak down into the soil.
You can break up thatch with a
specially designed rake or with a
mechanized de-thatcher for larger
jobs.
If your lawn has bare or brown
patches, you may need to re-seed.
Tere are a few simple steps you
should follow to ensure seeding
success.
First try to identify the
unhealthy soil conditions that kept
your lawn from thriving in the past.
Garden Dirt
By Ray Greenstreet
A soil test will show what nutrients
your lawn is lacking. A common
problem is low pH levels. Tis can
be corrected with an application of
lime. Once you've corrected your
soil composition, aerate the ground
to avoid any problems with soil
compaction.
Seed coverage is recommended
in pounds per square foot. Roughly
estimate the size of the area where
you plan to plant. If you're seeding a
large area, it is best to use a broad-
cast spreader, but smaller areas can
be seeded by hand.
Grass seeds germinate at soil
temperatures around 65 degrees.
Seed your lawn as soon as the spring
days consistently warm to this level.
Once your new grass is well-
established, you can encourage its
growth and discourage weeds by
applying a combination of fertilizers
and herbicides.
Fertilizer can help your lawn
grow thick and lush, but if it's not
used properly, it can actually
damage the grass. In Maryland,
fertilizer can only be applied
between Mar. 1 and Nov.15, when
turf is actively growing. Applied too
early or too late, the fertilizer wont
be absorbed and will simply run of,
eventually landing in the Chesa-
peake Bay. Choose a fertilizer we
like Turf Trust - with slow-release
nitrogen that limits run-of and is
better for the environment. Follow
product directions for when and
how much you should water after
applying fertilizer.
Herbicides must also be used
with care, as their efectiveness often
depends on when they're used. If
you have a widespread weed infesta-
tion, it's best to apply a
pre-emergent herbicide now, before
the seeds germinate in the spring.
But dont apply herbicides if you
plan to plant new grass - the herbi-
cide will also prevent grass seed
from germinating. Tere are prod-
ucts that can be used to control
crabgrass that are safe to use at the
same time you seed. If you are
unsure, ask the garden center staf
for assistance. For more isolated
Yes, you too can have the perfect lawn!
problems, spot treating with a non-
selective herbicide should be enough
to do the trick. Ultimately, the best
way to discourage weeds is to have a
thick, healthy lawn.
When it comes time to mow,
follow the cut it tall, let it fall rule.
Even though it will reduce the
number of times you have to mow,
cutting your grass short is harmful
to your lawn in the long run.
Cutting it too short removes nutri-
ents stored in leaf blades and
exposes the soil to sunlight, allowing
weeds to take hold more easily.
Taller grass is better able to compete
with weeds, thanks to a larger root
system and a higher tolerance for
heat. It also shades the ground,
allowing the soil to retain water
more efectively. Set your mower
height so that you're only cutting of
Spring Lawn Care Tips
the top one-third of the blades. Tis
places less stress on the grass, and
the smaller clippings are able to
decompose more easily.
Now youll be ready to pull out
the garden lounger, kick of your
shoes - and enjoy your beautiful,
lush lawn.

businesses gathered at the
College of Southern Maryland
on Turs. Mar. 6 to learn about poten-
tial contracting opportunities with
Dominion and the construction
company its hired for its Cove Point
expansion Project, IHI Kiewit.
Te seminar was sponsored by the
Bay Business Group and the Calvert
Chamber of Commerce and organized
by the Calvert County Economic
Development Dept.
Shared Services Director Flo
Sepulveda revealed that the company
has signed a lease for ofce space for
about 60 people at a strip center in
Solomons. Tat will serve as an ofce
where new employees will report for
work. Sepulveda said the overall project
will ofer about 3,500 job years for
skilled workers most of them union
members and they anticipate starting
construction in early June of this year.
He said Dominion expects commercial
operations at the new facility to begin
in Sept. 2017. About 75 new, perma-
nent employees will be hired to operate
the plant once its up and running.
IHI Kiewit spokesman Randy
Marshall told the business owners that
there have been about 175 companies
to date sign up to be considered as
vendors through their web site,
1CovePoint.com or
OneCovePoint.com. Marshall reiter-
ated that to be considered as a vendor,
businesses must be registered through
the web site to be put into the database,
and receive RFPs as theyre issued
throughout various stages of the
project. Marshall said RFPs will be
issued 30 to 90 days in advance of the
work.
Contracting and sub-contracting
opportunities range from concrete
supply and small tools to demolition,
fencing, plumbing, earthwork, signage,
banners, and catering of meetings to
building and ofce supplies.
In response to questions from the
audience, Marshall said that companies

Marshall explain to business owners about
contracting opportunities at Cove Point.
do not have to have the specifed insur-
ance spelled out in RFPs to be consid-
ered, but would have to get required
coverage and bonding if they are
awarded a contract. He added that
there are no non-union set-asides so
individuals would have to be afliated
with a union. He added that there are
not plans for food trucks on the prem-
ises, and its likely that workers will stay
on-site during their lunch breaks.
Dominion Wins In Appeals Court
Dominion has won a pivotal court
battle with a Maryland Special Appeals
Court ruling against the Sierra Club in
its attempt to block planed to exports
of liquefed natural gas from the
companys facility at Cove Point in
Lusby.
Te lawsuit fled by the Sierra
Clubs Maryland Chapter argued that a
1972 agreement with the environmen-
tal group, signed with the terminals
original owner, Columbia Gas,
precludes export at the site, which was
built as an import facility. Te Mary-
land Court of Special Appeals
disagreed, afrming a lower courts
ruling, siding with Dominion which
says it will invest $3.8 billion to build
an expert facility there. Te construc-
tion project would be largest in Mary-
land, even bigger than the Wilson
Bridge replacement and building of
Ravens Stadium in Baltimore. Over
3,000 jobs for skilled union members
over three years would result in tremen-
dous economic beneft for Calvert
County, and the state.
In its opinion, the Court of Special
Appeals gave its opinion on ten crucial
words included in the most recent
version of the agreement, which
Dominion, Sierra and Maryland
Conservation Counsel Inc. (MCC)
signed in 2005. Tat updated agree-
ment allows, receipt by tanker and the
receipt or delivery by pipeline of
natural gas at the site.
Senators Request Wider
Public Hearings
FERC Announces Review Timeline
Te Federal Energy Regulatory Com-
mission has released its ofcial notice of a
schedule for reviewing Dominion
Resources' proposed liquefed natural gas
export facility at Cove Point on Turs.
Mar. 13.
Te timeline formally commits the
agency to releasing an Environmental
Assessment on May 15, but does not
include any mention opportunities for
public participation or comment.
We are pleased to reach another
important milestone in the development
of a project that has very signifcant
economic, environmental and geopolitical
benefts, said Diane Leopold, president
of Dominion Energy. Dominion is
dedicated to constructing a safe, environ-
mentally compatible and reliable export
facility that will be an asset to the commu-
nity, state and country.
Te Calvert Citizens for a Healthy
Community, Chesapeake Climate Action
Network, Citizen Shale, Food & Water
Watch, HoCo Climate Change, Interfaith
Power & Light (MD.DC.NoVa), Mary-
land Sierra Club, Myersville Citizens for a
Rural Community, University of Mary-
land Student Government Association
responded with the following statement:
Federal ofcials are serving Dominion,
not the public interest, in formally endors-
ing a low bar of scrutiny on a fast-tracked
timeline. Te announcement is a slap in
the face to citizens and leaders across
Maryland who have repeatedly called for a
full Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)a type of review most protective of
public health and safety and customary for
a polluting project as huge as Dominions.
A full EIS is the only legitimate way
forward on a project that could simultane-
ously subject local residents to unprec-
edented safety risks, incentivize a region--
wide wave of new fracking and pipelines,
and trigger more greenhouse gas pollution
than all seven of Marylands coal-fred
power plants combined.
Astoundingly, while endorsing this
lower bar of scrutiny, the agency has also
omitted any mention of public participa-
tion or hearings. Tis omission comes
even as Marylands U.S. Senators Barbara
Mikulski and Ben Cardin called on the
agency to go the extra mile in engaging
the public and respond promptly to
community leaders request for public
meetings on the Cove Point project in
Garrett, Frederick, Baltimore, Anne
Arundel and Montgomery Counties.
On its web site, Dominion says it is
expecting to receive its FERC Order
Issuing Certifcate and Granting Section 3
Authority and also begin construction of
the liquefaction facilities in the frst half of
this year.
Te proposed export facility will be
within the 131-acre footprint of the LNG
import facility, which has been in Calvert
County for 40 years. No new pipelines,
storage tanks or piers are needed at the
facility. Te company needs about 50
permits and approvals before construction
can begin. Dominion says the FERC has
been researching and analyzing the
application since then. Dominion fled
the application in April 2013 and it now
totals more than 21,000 pages.
Since then the company has partici-
pated in about 10 public information
sessions and federal and state regulatory
proceedings, has given more than 50
presentations to neighborhood groups in
Southern Maryland, distributed more
than 26,000 fact books about the project
in the community and engaged the
community through social media
channels.
Marylands U.S. Senators Barbara
Mikulski and Ben Cardin are requesting
that federal ofcials to respond to a
request for public meetings all across
the state on the proposed Cove Point
expansion project.
In a letter to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC), the
senators said expressions of concern
from health, faith, environmental, and
community leaders statewide are the
reasons they are asking ask FERC to
respond promptly to a request for
public meetings on Cove Point in Anne
Arundel, Garrett, Frederick, Baltimore,
and Montgomery Counties.
To date, FERC has agreed to hold
only one public meeting - in Calvert
County where the plant is located to
hear comments on the proposed $3.8
billion Cove Point liquefaction and
export facility. Te Chesapeake Climate
Action Network (CCAN) claims the
project would take 770 million cubic
feet of gas per day from all across the
Marcellus Shale region of Appalachia,
liquefy it to 260 degrees below zero, and
then ship it to Asia via special tanker
ships entering the Chesapeake Bay.
Some of the concerns expressed in
recent months by activists include the
possibility of new pipelines, fracking
hazards, rising gas prices, and increasing
global warming pollution. Activists say
these impacts would afect the entire
state and warrant ofcial public meet-
ings statewide in which FERC takes
public comments and responds to the
concerns.
In a letter dated March 6, 2014 and
sent to FERC, Senators Mikulski and
Cardin echoed these concerns and asked
FERCs acting chair and all members
for the Commission to go the extra
mile to fully engage Marylanders
statewide.
We appreciate your consideration
of this request, the senators wrote to
FERC, and [we] exhort the Commis-
sion to heed local community concerns
and incorporate them fully into the
[Environmental Assessment].
Upwards of 800 people attended a
public hearing Mar. 1 called by the
Maryland Public Service Commission
at Patuxent High School. Both sides
were well represented at that hearing.
Senators Mikulski and Cardin included
in their note to FERC a copy of a Feb.
27 letter written by Maryland health,
faith, environmental and community
leaders. Tat letter lays out more
detailed justifcations for having public
meetings in fve counties across the
state. Tese include Garrett, Montgom-
ery and Anne Arundel Counties where
new federal mapping shows gas basins
now exist and could possibly be subject
to hydraulic fracturing (or fracking)
drilling in the future. Also included in
the request for public meetings was
Frederick County, where the gas indus-
try wants to build a large compressor
station for pressurizing gas that could
be piped to Cove Point from as far away
as Pennsylvania. Te fnal request for a
public meeting was for Baltimore
County where new or expanded
pipelines and compressor stations could
be built due to Cove Point.
An additional major concern of
activists is the fact FERC has said it
does not intend to conduct a full and
customary Environmental Impact
Statement for Cove Point. Activists
have said the more limited Environ-
mental Assessment that FERC now
wants to conduct is insufcient given
the cumulative, widespread impacts
that would occur far outside Calvert
County, including a possible rise in gas
prices as high as 27 percent, according
to a nationwide assessment of gas
exports by the U.S. Department of
Energy.
Karl R. Neddenien, Media
Relations and Community Relations
Manager for
Dominion Cove Point LNG in
Lusby issued the following statement on
behalf of the company in response:
We are pleased that Senators
Mikulski and Cardin acknowledge
FERCs signifcant experience in
conducting its rigorous and thorough
environmental review of the Domin-
ion Cove Point LNG export project and
their support of an Environmental
Assessment as being the appropriate
means for this review. FERC already has
agreed to unprecedented levels of public
participation in its process. Tis is in
addition to the more than 50 commu-
nity meetings Dominion has
conducted, numerous public meetings
conducted by other government
agencies and signifcant outreach by all
parties. We look for to the process
moving forward in timely manner so
the economic, environmental and other
benefts of the project can come to
fruition.
Te Cove Point expansion project would be
constructed within the same footprint of the
existing facility.
Six Arrested In Protest
On Mar. 13, Calvert County
Sherifs deputies assigned to the Calvert
County Circuit Courthouse at 175 Main
Street in Prince Frederick were asked by
organizers of a small protest really to
arrest six of their members for civil
disobedience.
At approximately 11:00 a.m., a
group of about two dozen protestors and
media gathered at the corner of Main
Street and Duke Street. Some of the
protestors held signs in opposition to the
proposed Dominion Cove Point liquefac-
tion project and chanted slogans includ-
ing Your Solution Is Our Pollution. At
approximately 11:10 a.m. the group
moved to the public square in front of the
main entrance to the courthouse, and
blocked it so a person was unable to enter.
Special Deputy Evan Elkins, who was
assigned to the front entrance, advised a
spokeswoman for the group that blocking
the entrance was illegal and those doing so
would be arrested. She stated she under-
stood and ofered to provide the identif-
cations of those intending to be arrested.
Te six arrested said they were mem-
bers of the groups Chesapeake Climate
Action Network (CCAN) or Calvert
Citizens for a Healthy Community. Just
one of the protestors, David Hardy of
Lusby, was local (see his statement as to
why he wanted to be arrested on page 17
of this issue of the Chesapeake Current).
Four of those arrested are residents of St.
Marys City and the sixth is a student
leader at the University of Maryland at
College Park.
Last weekend, I was presented the
2014 Outstanding Achievement Award
for Business Leadership from the
Calvert Commission for Women at
their Women of the World Luncheon
that honored a total of 12 female
community leaders. I would like to
especially thank Commission chair
Margaret Dunkle and co-chair Annette
Funn for their on-going support.
At the same time, this award would
not have been possible without your
support, our loyal readers of the
Chesapeake Current and our other
local publications. I also want to thank
all the small business owners who are
members of the Bay Business Group
(BBG) who have shown support for me
as their president for the past couple of
years.
I am humbled and honored to
receive this recognition. Tank you
again!

A frustrated male osprey is unable to build
his nest this year in Deale. Weve
contacted BG&E in an efort to try to get
a platform installed ASAP so the ospreys
can construct their nest.
A Sincere Thank YOU!
Reader Concerns About Ospreys
Te following letter was sent to
Chesapeake Current contributor
Michael Roane regarding the article in
the last Current about ospreys returning
around St. Patricks Day:
I/we totally enjoyed Mike Roane's
recent article on the Ospreys in the
Chesapeake Current. We have a
situation here in Deale where BG&E's
sub-contractor took down two nests, for
whatever reason, last November after the
birds left for the winter.
Long story short, about four years
ago, they took down the two original
nests that were sitting directly on top of
the pole's top crossbars, which we could
understand as a hazard. But after we
contacted BG&E about it, back then,
they put two new extension poles back
up on the tops, with whole nest
platforms, within a weeks time.
We contacted BG&E last
November about these last nests being
taken down again, and they said if we got
the land owners permission, Herrington
Harbor North Marina, Hamilton
Chaney, they said they would put two
new extra, "dummy" poles up, with nests
in the same general area. Hamilton
Chaney did contact BG&E, gave
permission, and they even came out to
survey the situation and where to put the
new poles, but nothing's been done, as of
yesterday, so we all called again.
Needless to say the ospreys are back
now, as you can see by the second
picture, and they have no place to build
nests. Te attached picture is courtesy of
my friend Beth Dadisman, who has
made most of the calls to BG&E along
with Hamilton Chaney.
Can you help the cause or
recommend anything to get these nests
up ASAP? Te osprey was there yesterday
trying to put sticks on the dome the put
up on the pole to they put up to keep
them from building a nest and he was
squawking at me BIG time - like what
the heck happened? It's sad to see it.
Tanks,

situation would be remedied ASAP. We

Free Spay, Neuter For Ferals
During the month of April 2014,
Te Spay Spa & Neuter Nook will be
ofering no-cost spays and neuters plus
free rabies vaccinations as part of
Community Catch, PetSmart
Charities spay/neuter campaign to
alter free-roaming cats. If left
unaltered, unowned feral and stray cats
produce large quantities of unwanted
kittens each spring, fooding local
animal shelters and leading to higher
euthanasia rates. By taking a proactive
approach and getting the cats fxed
now, the Spa & Neuter Nook will help
lessen the impact of the coming kitten
season.
Spaying and neutering is one of the
most efective ways to reduce the
homeless pet population and is safe for
kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks
old, according to the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
Spaying a female cat before the frst
heat cycle can be benefcial, improving
the health of the cat by reducing the
risk of certain reproductive cancers and
infections.
Female cats can have as many as
three litters a year, and kittens can
breed as young as four months old,
says Katherine Evans, President, Rude
Ranch Animal Rescue. Most people
dont want to see the cats theyre
feeding get pregnant over and over
again, so hopefully our Community
Catch campaign will serve as a gentle
reminder to caretakers of free-roaming
cat colonies to catch and sterilize their
cats.
Tis special free rate is available to
all residents of Anne Arundel County
and surrounding areas. Residents
feeding free-roaming cats who wish to
take advantage of this ofer must
mention the Community Catch
campaign when scheduling their
appointment. Appointments are based
on availability. For more information
or to schedule an appointment,
interested persons should visit
SpaySpa.org or call (443) 607-6496.
Te Spay Spa & Neuter Nook was
created by Rude Ranch Animal Rescue
to provide high quality low cost spay
and neuter services to residents of Anne
Arundel County and surrounding areas.
Our goal is to work towards a day when
we no longer euthanize healthy animals
because of pet overpopulation.
Rude Ranch Animal Rescue is a
volunteer based, 501(c)3 organization
dedicated to the rescue, dedicated to
the care and adoption of homeless
animals in the Maryland and
Washington, DC area. All donations

Why I Got Arrested
David Hardy.
Te following is a statement from the
local protestor arrested while
demonstrating recently against the
Dominion Cove Point expansion project
at the Calvert County Courthouse.
My name is David Hardy. Im a
retired Registered Nurse and retired Civil
Engineering Craftsman from the Air Force
Reserves. I live in Chesapeake Ranch
Estates in Lusby about three miles from
the proposed Dominion Cove Point LNG
Export Facility.
Personally, I have a lot of concerns
regarding this project.
Im concerned about Little Cove
Point Road and the trafc on this small
state road with buses hauling construction
workers in and out and large construction
trucks hauling equipment, materials and
supplies. I feel sorry for the folks who live
in this area who will have large lowboys
rumbling through in the middle of the
night while they deliver the generators and
compressors. Dominion promises to
deliver the heavy equipment during the
night to cut down on trafc problems. But
they haven't promised to repair the road
after the oversized and overweight trucks
tear it up. Looks like the State Highway
Administration will foot the bill for
keeping it repaired since it is a state road.
Im concerned about the dust and
emissions from the construction. It's going
to take an awful lot of truckloads of dirt to
build the noise barrier. My rough
calculations, fguring a 3/4 mile by 60-foot
high dirt monument, comes to roughly
533 thousand cubic yards of material.
Tat's about 53,000 dump truck loads of
dirt. Where is that coming from and how
is it getting to the site?
Im concerned about the perpetual
noise from the compressors running night
and day. Te carbon dioxide from the 4th
largest power plant in the state that is
going to be built to provide power to the
compressors and refrigerators that are
needed to cool the dirty gas down 300
degrees to make it a liquid.
I am worried sick about the
hazardous chemicals that are going to be
removed at Cove Point, that come from
the fracking process, that now have to be
disposed of. Where? At Sweetwater Road
landfll? Tere will be a lot of things like
mercury, benzene, and heavy metals that
will have to go somewhere.
I am concerned about the danger of
explosion of all of the volatile gasses that
will be coming through the pipeline from
the gas felds. Tere have been some recent
gas pipeline explosions and fres causing
destruction and death in neighboring
states. Do we want this in Calvert County?
I am concerned about the emergency
evacuation route that passes through
Chesapeake Ranch Estates. Our roads
cant handle a mass evacuation of Cove
Point residents added to our own.
Tis export plant is planning for 100
ships a year to export this gas to Japan and
India. And they have a permit for 200
ships a year. Why? We need the gas right
here in the USA to power our homes,
factories and power plants. We dont need
the gas to be shipped overseas halfway
around the world to keep our gas prices
infated at home.
I'm concerned about pipeline leakage
contributing to more and more
greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere
causing more and more global warming.
It was recently reported that gas pipelines
leak over 3% of their capacity. Dominion
is projecting 5 million tons of production
a year. Tat's 15,000 tons a day! A 3% loss
would be 450 tons of methane and ethane
and other volatile gasses lost into the air we
breathe each and every day. As if we don't
have enough asthma, COPD and other
breathing problems now. And this is a very
conservative estimate of pipeline losses.
Some reports have the number at twice
what Im saying.
Im frankly frightened by the
prospect of a LNG plant being three miles
from a nuclear power plant. I sure hope
there is some of that tax money spent on
increased security ofshore for both
facilities. We could have our own
Armageddon if an LNG ship was to
explode at the nuclear plant.
I'm concerned about the ofsite areas
that Dominion needs just for construction
of the plant. About the pier within yards of
the Tomas Johnson Bridge; our only
evacuation route in case of an accident.
One misdirected barge carrying large
compressors could close down this vital
highway artery.
I'm concerned with the ballast water
that the ships from Japan and India will be
delivering to waters in or near our beloved
Chesapeake Bay. Water that is
contaminated with radiation from the
Fukushima nuclear plant disaster. Te
water from the inbound India ships will be
contaminated with Vibrio and other
disease forming microbes and Pfsteria and
other algae which can produce toxic
blooms. We don't need more invasive
species in the Bay to destroy our valuable
fsheries and recreation resources.
Tose of us who live in Southern
Calvert County are really concerned about
our quality of life being degraded by a
large industrial facility being built so close
to our homes, schools and churches.
Several of our homeowner associations
have already gone on record to protest this
invasion of our quiet enjoyment of our
property.
We need jobs in Southern Maryland,
but please let them come from other
enterprises that do not harm our
environment or force people to listen to
constant noise or breathe polluted air or
drink hazardous water.
Tank you for listening to my
concerns.

How To Avoid
Beneficiary Mistakes
Your Money Matter$
When she died in 2001, Anne Friedmans
$900,000 pension went not to her loving
husband of 20 years but to her sister, who refused
to share her unexpected wealth with her brother-
in-law.
How did this happen?
Anne flled out her benefciary form for her
retirement account naming her sister 20 years
before she married and never thought about the
need to update the form.
When you designate a benefciary, you are
naming one or more persons who will receive
benefts when you die - usually retirement benefts
and insurance proceeds. What you may not know
is that your benefciary designation for these assets
prevails over anything you designate in your will
or your trust.
For example, suppose Jennifer has two
children, Sara and Sam. Jennifers will states she
wants Sara to have the house and Sam to have
everything else. When Jennifer dies, she has a
house and a 401(k) account. Te proceeds of the
401(k) plan are paid to Jennifers designated
benefciary - in this case Jennifer had designated
equal shares to Sara and Sam. Te 401(k)
By Lyn Striegel
benefciary designation overrules the will. As a
result, Sara gets the house and one-half of the
401(k) and Sam gets one-half of the 401(k), not
what Jennifer intended.
When you make a will or a trust, make sure
your benefciary designations match what you
want to do.
Te results of not updating your benefciary
designations or improperly flling out the forms
can be disastrous. Te frst mistake many people
make is not updating their benefciary forms. Any
major life event should prompt you to review your
assets and how you want to dispose of them when
you die. Consider the horror of paying out your
life insurance proceeds to your ex-spouse, simply
because you forgot to update your benefciary
forms.
What are some of the most common
mistakes?
1) You cant fnd your benefciary designa-
tion form. Go to the IRA or 401(k) plan adminis-
trator or insurance company and ask for a copy of
your form. Your later dated benefciary forms
count. If the benefciary designation is not what
you want, update it and confrm the receipt of the

Q. Why choose an
Oculoplastic Surgeon?
As an oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Orin Zwick is a board-
certied ophthalmologist with highly specialized training
in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the structures
surrounding the eye. He is one of less than ve hundred
surgeons worldwide to complete a full fellowship
devoted entirely to eyelid and orbital surgery. Because of
his advanced training, Dr. Zwick is especially qualied to
assess the impact of the eyelids on the health of the eye
itself. Patients feel condent knowing that their surgeon
possesses such expertise.
Q. What is Ptosis?
Ptosis is dened as drooping of the upper eyelid, partly
covering the pupil. It causes a tired, sleepy appearance
and reduces vision. Surgical repair helps improve vision
and provides a more vibrant appearance.

updated form by the IRA or 401(k) administrator
or insurance company. It is amazing to me how
many people think they have flled out a
benefciary designation form only to fnd out no
benefciaries have been designated. Once you have
designated a benefciary, make sure you receive
confrmation of receipt of the form.
2) You fail to designate a back-up
benefciary. Tis means someone who receives the
proceeds if your primary benefciary is also
deceased. Suppose you name Uncle Fred as the
primary benefciary of your life insurance policy.
When you die, if Uncle Fred is also deceased, the
Probate Court is likely to be in charge of
determining who takes the life insurance
proceeds. Tis problem can be avoided by
designating a contingent or secondary
benefciary to take if the primary benefciary is
deceased.
But, be careful of the forms you use to
designate benefciaries. I had one client who
thought she was naming her two children and
four grandchildren as benefciaries of her large
insurance policy. However, she flled in the name
of one child with his two children as the primary
benefciary and the other child and her two
children as secondary benefciaries. Tis meant
that only the frst child and his children would get
the insurance proceeds. Te good news is this was
easily corrected by flling out the form properly.
3) You name a minor as the benefciary.
Tere are two major problems with this. First, a
minor cannot control funds; the minors guardian
has control over the funds. Second and most
importantly, when the minor reaches the age of
majority (21 or 18 in some states) the minor will
inherit the funds. How do you feel about an 18 or
21-year-old gaining control of a large lump sum of
money? Do you really think they will act
prudently? You are much better of setting up a
trust to control when the money will be
distributed.
4) Your benefciary designations are vague.
John married twice and raised two natural born
children and three step-children. On the
benefciary designation for his life insurance, he
designated his children to receive the proceeds.
Unfortunately, the three step-children were
excluded and received nothing, which was not his
intent.
5) You name a benefciary who is receiving
disability benefts. Tis is a very sad scenario since
the receipt of funds to persons who also are
receiving disability benefts may cause them to
lose the benefts entirely. Tose persons must
receive funds through a special needs trust. Tis
enables them to take the inheritance you want to
leave them in such a way that it doesnt disqualify
them from continuing to receive disability
benefts.
6) You name one child as the benefciary
thinking that child will take care of all the other
children. Tat child has no legal obligation to do
so and can legally take all.
I could go on, but you get the point.
Dont delay. Take a hard look at your
benefciary designations and make sure that you
have flled out the forms so that your intentions
are clear.
