A lot of people say, Oh I got the flu from that vaccine and we
try to educate people and say, well, actually that is impossible
because its a killed virus. People complain about getting sick
from the flu vaccine and I try to educate them to the best of my
ability [because] that is really impossible. The other thing about
the vaccine is when people get [vaccinated], if they were to get
sick, the severity of their illness will be decreased.

During the Jan. 13 Board of County Commissioner meeting, the BOCC approved a change
to the county code that provides for Deputy
Sheriffs formally trained and designated as Field
Training Officers (FTO) and assigned a probationary deputy to be eligible for FTO pay of $1
per hour while actually performing FTO duties.
The training period is normally 60 work
days. Office of Personnel Director Gail Bourdon
made the presentation to the BOCC.
According to information available on the
Calvert County website qualified Deputy Sheriffs are entitled to receive an $1 for each hour
they directly instruct and supervise a probationary deputy during the initial field training period for a probationary deputy. The $1per hour
shall not be paid for hours when the Field Training Officer (FTO) or probationary deputy are
on leave or not working the same scheduleIn
order to qualify, a Deputy Sheriff must be formally trained and designated by the Sheriff as an
FTO and assigned a probationary deputy within
the guidelines of the Sheriffs Offices FTO program. No FTO shall receive FTO pay after her/
his assigned probationary deputy is released to

perform independent duties. Only one FTO shall
receive the FTO pay per trainee per hour.
The BOCC approved the changes unanimously. Assistant Sheirff Dave McDowell came
to the meeting to thank the
BOCC for approving the changes, assuring them that the FTOs
are chosen from the cream of
the crop.

Deputy Involved in
Five-Car Collision
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
A five-car crash occurred on Jan. 6 at 1:18 p.m. along southbound Route 4 in the
area of Bowie Shop Road. According to a statement from police, the driver at fault
for the accident was Joseph Angle, of Upper Marlboro, who was operating a 2015
Nissan Altima.
According to police, Angle switched from lane one to lane two and subsequently
collided his Altima into a marked patrol car in a sideswipe type collision. Deputy
Bare, of the St. Marys County Sheriffs Office, was operating the patrol car.
The Altima then struck the back of a 2013 Toyota Venza, which was operated by
Diane Bowles, of Huntingtown. The collision sent her vehicle into the median before
coming to a stop. The Altima continued south and struck the rear bumper of a 2008
Honda Civic, which was operated by Lynn Taylor, of Prince Frederick. The contact
with the Honda was extensive enough to push the Honda into the rear of a 2006 Ford
van, operated by Kyle McMaster, of California, Md. The Honda came to a stop in
the median against the guardrail and the Ford came to a halt in lane two. The operators of the Toyota and Honda were transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where
they were treated for their injuries they sustained during the collision. The driver of
Altima was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where he was admitted for
his injuries. Police indicate the cause of the five-car collision was due to the driver of
the Altima falling asleep behind the wheel of his car.

Police Engage In 100-Mph Pursuit

Driver Threatened To Commit Suicide
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Jan. 6, police engaged in a 100-mph pursuit in order to stop a woman who

threatened to commit suicide. According to a release given by Captain Todd Ireland,
of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, the Calvert County Control Center received a
911 call at 12:13 p.m. from a man who stated his 70-year-old mother was not taking
her medication and had threatened to take her own life.
The caller stated he was following his mother along Route 260 in the area of
Jewell Road and was attempting to convince her to pull her car over. The caller was
driving a red Kia; his mother was operating a white Toyota Corolla. The caller followed his mother as she turned south on Md. Route 2 and continued to southbound
of Md. Route 4. Deputy Durner, of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, located the
white Toyota and attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Md. Route 2 along Md. Route
4. The driver of the Toyota refused to pull over and accelerated her vehicle, according to the release.
Police stated Durner then called out that he was engaging in a pursuit and advised that the vehicle was reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph. Trooper Follin
assisted Durner in the pursuit; he was the closest unit to Durner and took over communications with the Calvert Control Center. Follin was calling out the speeds and
locations of the Toyota and fellow deputies were setting up a method of stopping the
fleeing vehicle before it reached the heavily congested area of the Prince Frederick
Town Center.
The Toyota reached the crossover south of MF Bowen Road and began to drive
on the shoulder of the road in order to pass vehicles in the travel lane. The Toyota
subsequently crashed into a BMW SVU, hitting it on the passengers side. The flee-
ing vehicle continued to drive up an embankment and then down into the travel portion of southbound Md. Route 4 before the vehicle came to an abrupt stop, according
to the statement from police.
Deputies approached the Toyota to check on the sole occupant, but were unable to see inside the vehicle due to the curtain airbags, which had been deployed
during the crash. The driver of the Toyota began to climb out of the drivers door
window, which was covered with broken glass, according to the release. According
to the statement, the driver of the Toyota informed police they were going to have
to shoot her.
Deputies were able to keep the woman inside her Toyota in the drivers seat until
medical personnel arrived on the scene to tend to her, according to the release.
Captain Ireland stated the collision was extremely violent and both vehicles
involved in the crash were destroyed. Two people from Chesapeake Beach occupied
the BMW; the driver of the BMW was able to get herself out of the vehicle; however,
the front-seat passenger had to be extricated by members of the Prince Frederick
Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. The driver of the Toyota also had to
be extricated from her vehicle. All three occupants were transferred to Calvert Memorial Hospital where they were treated for their injuries. The driver of the fleeing
vehicle was charged with multiple traffic violations, a request for reexamination of
the driver was completed and an emergency petition for a medical evaluation was
completed. All traffic southbound of Route 4 was diverted onto Plum Point Road
with the assistance of the Maryland State Highway Administration until the roadway
could be reopened, according to the release.

Annual Booksale
The Friends of Calvert
Library held the annual winter book sale Jan. 8 to 11. The
book sales are held regularly
during the year and proceeds
go to Calvert County libraries.

Does your child struggle with reading? Come out to Paws to Read at Calvert Library, an event allowing beginning and reluctant readers to come read
to a trained therapy dog.
According to the Calvert Library
website, reading with a trained therapy
dog is a great way for children to improve
their reading skills and confidence.
Children are encouraged to read a
book to one of the therapy dogs brought
in for the event. They also get some time
to play with the dog and to talk to the
dogs handler.
According to information from
Calvert Library, by sitting beside and
reading to a dog, all threats of being
judged disappear. The dog is not going
to interrupt when a word is mispronounced. The child can relax, pat the
attentive dog and focus on reading. Not
only does the childs reading improve,
his/her self-esteem builds and the act of
reading becomes associated with something
pleasant. While geared to helping children,
Paws to Read also enriches the dog owners
by giving them an opportunity to give back
to the community.
The first Paws to Read event was held on
Jan. 10 at the Prince Frederick Library. An-
other event will be held at the Calvert Library

Southern Branch on Jan. 17 from 2 to 4 p.m.
Registration is required. For more information, visit calvertlibrary.info or www.therapypetsunlimited.org.

On Friday Jan. 9, Calvert County Circuit
Court Judge Marjorie Clagett sentenced Aimee Warhurst, 36, of Chesapeake Beach, to 35
years, but suspended all but 12 years at the Division of Correction for the charges of seconddegree rape and conspiracy to sexually abuse
a minor continuing course of conduct. The
victim in the case was the defendants stepsister. Aimee Warhurst abused her stepsister
over a course of five years. The abuse began
when her stepsister came to live with the defendant and the defendants now deceased
husband, John Grady Warhurst, when she was
13-years-old.
The defendant, along with her late husband, was indicted in November of 2013. The
couple has a three-year-old daughter, Jordan.
John Grady Warhurst committed suicide
Sept. 26, 2014; he was a 21-year veteran of the
Prince Georges County Police Department.
Christopher Mooney, Aimee Warhursts
attorney, described his client as a very delicate, gentle and honest person. Mooneys defense tactics consisted of describing the defendants deceased husband as controlling and
the main perpetrator in the abuse of Aimees
stepsister, as well as previous romantic relationships and her childhood.
Mooney stated his clients parents divorced when she was two years old and the
defendant felt abandoned by her mother.
Mooney then stated to the court that his
client was raped at age 14, then from ages 20
to 22, she was involved in a physically abusive relationship, where she was allegedly
forced to perform sex acts. Warhurst ended
her for therapy in January of 2014 and saw the

defendant weekly until September 2014.
Dr. Walters gave her professional opinion about Aimee Warhurst, but Judge Clagett
ruled the psychiatrist was not qualified to give
an opinion regarding whether or not the defendant would be a harm to herself or society. Dr.
Walters did not perform any forensic testing,
which is used to determine issues such as, the
likelihood of re-offending or if the defendant is
seen as a danger to society.
Dr. Walters described Aimee as childlike, but then stated the defendant was competent and came to therapy accepting full
responsibility.
Following the witness statements,
Mooney requested his client not serve any
jail time, but have an extended period of five
years on home detention.
Home detention will allow her to receive the rehabilitation, he stated.
Calvert County Assistant States Attorney Kathryn Marsh prosecuted the case and
argued each point Mooney presented in his
defense.
It gives the impression the defendant is
the only one left holding the bag. This wasnt
somebody who just stood by. There are some
victims in this case and the defendant is not
one. To let the defendant go back to that house
as if nothing happened is offensive, Marsh
said to the court.
When this defendant thought no one
was looking, her conduct was to abuse her
sister over and over again. The acts were committed over and over again while her daughter
[Jordan] was present. Marsh also stated the
defendant took topless photos of the victim
during a trip to New York, which John War-
Man Sentenced
to 18 Months for
First-Degree Burglary
On Friday, Jan. 9, Calvert County Circuit
Court Judge Mark Chandlee sentenced Dustin
Dietz, 32, of Joppa, Md. to 18 months at the Calvert County Detention Center for first-degree
burglary.
Calvert County Assistant States Attorney
Kathryn Marsh argued the defendant caused the
victims in the case a loss of security and stole
items that had deep sentimental value.
Marsh also stated the defendant has no longterm career goals and seemed incapable of living
a drug-free lifestyle.
Del Lynch, of the Public Defenders Office, represented Dietz and argued his client had
short-term career goals and he was drug-free for
four to five years.
Lynch stated his client became addicted to
pills and subsequently heroin.
Dietz stated he was taking the pills due to depression and said the medication changed him.
He is eager to get some treatmenthe has
tried to better himself; he is just facing these demons, Lynch said to the court.
Lynch also said his client would require
maintenance and aftercare.
Woman Sentenced to 12 Years

at Division of Correction
the relationship and moved to Annapolis, Md

to live with her biological mother when she
was 22. The defense then stated his clients
first marriage was also physically abusive,
but Warhurst divorced her husband. Aimee
Warhurst met John Warhurst shortly after her
divorce. Mooney stated his client was swept
off her feet by her second husband. However, Mooney then stated quickly after their
marriage, the deceased became emotionally
abusive.
It was mind games. It got to the point
[John] didnt want to do anything unless it was
with other women, Mooney said to the court.
[Aimee] would come home to find strange
women in her bed with her husband, Mooney
continued.
During the hearing, the defense called
three witnesses to the stand. The first witness
was Donna Hamilton-White, the defendants
neighbor. White stated she knew the defendant
for eight and a half years and gave the defendant high praises.
Aimees not just a good mother, shes
a fantastic mother. I hope she will be given a
chance to raise her daughter. Im very glad and
very blessed Aimee is my neighbor.
The second witness was Marian Forshee,
the defendants stepmother, who asked the
court to have mercy on her daughter.
Aimee has made some poor choices
there will not be a single day she doesnt regret
her decisions. I pray her child will not grow
up feeling abandoned by her mother, Forshee
said to the court.
The third and final witness for the
defense was Dr. Randi Walters, who is a
psychotherapist.
Dr. Walters stated the defendant came to

Staff Writer
The more support we can provide him, the

better he will be and the better the community
will be, he continued.
Im really sorry about all this. I have lost so
much. I cant even see my kids; I can only talk
to them on the phone, Dietz said to the court.
All I want is some help; I need some help, he
continued.
Youre a really good example of how drug
addiction is a cancer. Its probably a good thing
you wont be around your kids, Judge Chandlee
said to the defendant.
No one should feel unsafe in their homes
and its sad people have to worry about people
breaking into their homes because of [an addiction
to drugs.] You, unfortunately, are going to have to
think about the decisions you made.
Judge Chandlee sentenced Dietz to 15 years
at the Division of Correction, but suspended the
sentence to 18 months at the Calvert County Detention Center. The defendant was ordered to pay
$5,557.53 in restitution to the victims in the case.
Dietz was also ordered to participate in the
JSAP program, which is designed for inmates
with a drug addiction.
hurst was not present for.

Marsh also presented evidence via text
messages, which showed the defendant saying
you wanted it to the victim and advised the
victim not to tell anyone about the abuse.
The victim was present during the hearing and gave a statement to the court.
What was done to me forever changed
my life. My adolescence was completely taken
from me. She hurt me in a way I would have
never imagined possible.
Aimee Warhurst was also able to give a
statement and became extremely emotional
during her testimony.
No words can describe to you how sorry
I am. I loved you since the day you were born. I
dont know if Ill ever be able to forgive myself
for the hurt I caused you. All I can do now is
tell you how truly, truly sorry I am. These poor
choices have caused a lifetime of punishment.
Judge Clagett stated in her 20-year career
as a judge this sentencing was one of the most
difficult.
I dont have a sense as to what your
makeup is; there are so many sides of you, the
judge said to the defendant.
I dont want to put any individual in
jeopardy of you, she continued.
Judge Clagett sentenced the defendant
to an active sentence of 12 years at the Division of Correction. The defendant will be on
lifetime probation and will be registered as a
lifetime sex offender. Judge Clagett ordered
the defendant to complete a psychosexual
evaluation; she recommended the defendant
be transferred to the Patuxent Institute for her
incarceration.

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 7:55

Board of Education Discuss

New Hires in Schools
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Public Schools Board of Education

(BOE) got an extensive update on the latest numbers for new
teacher hires in the county during their first meeting of the year
on Jan. 8.
The meeting started with nominations of officers. Sitting
member Tracy H. McGuire was nominated as president of the
board, and new member Pamela Cousins was nominated as
vice-president.
Calvert County Public Schools hired sixty-nine teachers
for the 2014-2015 school year, 48 percent of whom had experience teaching in another state or Maryland school district.
According to Director of Human Resources Victoria Karol, the school systems challenge for the 2015-2016 school year
will be ensuring that highly qualified, content certified teachers
are in every classroom as the system seeks to adjust staffing in
light of declining enrollment and fiscal constraints.
In the 2014-2015 school year, 51 percent of newly hired
teachers graduated from a Maryland college or university, 39
percent of new hires have earned a Masters degree, and three
percent have earned a doctorate, 84 percent are female, sixteen
percent are male and 42 percent are graduates

of Calvert County Public Schools.
In Calvert County, we strive to hire the
very best, said Supervisor of Human Resources Laveeta Hutchins.
According to a CCPS press release,
Because CCPS traditionally attracts a large
number of applicants, recruitment focuses on
attracting individuals to teach in critical need
areasincluding all areas of special education,
speech language pathology, middle and high
school mathematics, middle and high school
sciences, world languages, ESOL, computer
science, and career and technology educationand on diverse applicants in all areas.
Representatives of the Human Resources Department attend recruitment consortiums in Maryland and
Pennsylvania and participate in on-campus recruitment visits
and consortium career fairs that focus specifically on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, one
Calvert parent spoke up about their concerns that budget cuts
will mean higher student to teacher ratios in the classroom and
the effect it will have on students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP).
During his report to the board, Superintendent Daniel
Curry addressed the concern.
In the end, every IEP has to be honored, he said.

Educators Talk About Challenges in Coming Years
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Calvert Education Association (CEA), in conjunction with the Calvert Association of Educational Support Staff
(CAESS) held their first ever legislative dinner on Jan. 12 at
Adams Ribs in Prince Frederick.
I know if youre here this evening, you care about education, said CEA President Debbie Russ during her welcoming
statements.
The discussion covered three topics - investing in education, implementing the Common Core and protecting time to
learn and time to teach.
Sunderland Elementary School teacher and CEA board
member Dona Ostenso spoke about the need for continued and
increased funding for schools.
Its a myth that you can do more with less, Ostenso said.
When talking about the Common Core, teachers in the
room said they dont dislike the curriculum, but they worry
about the number of things being implemented all at once,

including the PARCC test, new learning standards and new
teacher evaluations which are tied into student performance on
standardized tests.
We cannot afford to take risks with a high stakes evaluation, said Sunderland Elementary fourth grade teacher Linda
Hampshire, adding that teachers are afraid to be innovative or
cant take time to go more in depth on specific topics because
it may negatively affect standardized test scores. Some teachers in the group worry that students are being tested too often
and its negatively affecting them because they are stressed and
comparing themselves to their peers constantly.
Were testing the kids all the time, said CEA member
Carol Howard.
The ever-increasing number of duties and responsibilities, for both the students and teachers, feed into the need to
protect time for students to learn and teachers to prepare. Right now, teachers and students use their lunch
periods and personal time before and after school to go
over areas students are struggling in, said Huntingtown High

School teacher Beth Megonigal. The money needs to be available to hire support staff and get the needed technology into
schools.
The idea that we can do it all is absolutely impossible,
Megonigal said.
A number of local and state representatives came out to
the legislative dinner, including Maryland State Board of Education member Guffrie Smith, all five members of the Calvert
County Board of County Commissioners, Delegates Tony
ODonnell and Mark Fisher, Senator Thomas V. Mike Miller
and representatives from the Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners.
American Legion
Seeks Oratorical
Competition Participants
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The American Legion Post 274 is welcoming
all high school students to participate in the annual oratorical competition in Lusby.
This is one of the best programs that any of
the veterans organizations deals with, said longtime competition coordinator Ed Miller.
At the beginning of the school year Ed and
his wife, Carol Miller, went to each high school in
Calvert to get the word out. In the past, the competition has included students from public and
private schools, in addition to home-schooled students, Carol said.
The competition will have two sections - a
prewritten speech, lasting between eight and 10
minutes, and an impromptu speech, lasting three
to five minutes.
The prewritten speech must be memorized,

Ed said. The competition gives students poise and
confidence to speak in front of crowds, Carol said.
It also gives them a chance to win cash prizes and
scholarships.
Students will not be allowed to use notes or
any sort of props during their presentations.
Students will be told what the possible topics
will be for the impromptu speeches, but not which
topic they will be given. They will be given five
minutes to prepare during the competition before
giving their impromptu speeches, Ed said.
The competition is scheduled for Jan. 24,
witha snow date scheduled on Jan. 31. For more
information, email Carol at carolmiller9188@

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
The influenza (flu) season can typically begin as early as
October and last until March. The flu virus is considered an unstable virus and the flu strain changes frequently, which is why
the public is encouraged to receive a flu vaccination each year.
According to Calvert County Health Officer Dr. Lawrence
Polsky, the flu vaccination is created six months prior to the flu
season.
Polsky stated an area of major concern is Southeast Asia
because the majority of all flu strains in the United States originate from poultry, which is farmed extensively in Southeast
Asia. This years strain of flu is called H3N2.
The H3N2 is an A-strain, for human beings, it is almost
always an A or a B-strain. Right now, the A-strain, the H3N2, is
predominate, Polsky explained.
Its a strain thats typically a bit more aggressive and tends
to cause more severe cases of flu than in some other years, he
continued.
Polsky stated the majority of deaths from the flu virus occur in the month of January; however, there have been no reported deaths in Calvert County. On a national level, there have been
26 deaths for children, but there have been no reported fatalities
in Maryland.

Nazarek, said Calvert Memorial Hospital recorded having 699

of December and early January.
On an average year in Calvert County, about 10,000 people in the county will get the flu. $135 is lost each day for each employee due to the flu virus.

Polsky encourages the pubic to be vaccinated and said people should have their vaccinations to 10 a.m.
The Health Department is also holding a flu clinic Jan. 22 from 4-7 p.m. Medicare Part B
by early November. Polsky said in a typical year only 35 to 40 percent of people are vaccinated.

explained.
Polsky explained how the flu vaccination itself does not kill the flu, but
instead the vaccine stimulates the immune system in order to produce antibodies, which will attack and kill the flu before the virus has a chance to infect

Solomons Library
Hosts First
Book Buffet
Party of four? Right this way, please. Words you
normally hear in a restaurant, not a public library. Calvert Library Interim Southern Branch has created a unique
program that blurs that line a bit. The first Book Buffet
program was held in November with 21 people attending.
Families participated in a lively discussion of The Days the
Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt all while enjoying a dinner
brought in from a local restaurant and paid for by Friends of
Calvert Library. The event was such a success that it will be
repeated on Thursday, February 12 at 7pm using The True
Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka.
Melissa DeCesaris, Childrens Librarian cooked up the
idea over the summer and worked hard to make it happen.
DeCesaris said, I wanted to bring back the traditional book
discussion. No bells, no whistles, just great conversation
about a book. I also wanted whole families to participate
and to model what fun it could be to talk about books at the
dinner table. A copy of the book was checked out to each
family that registered for the event so that they could read it
together beforehand.
Once the families arrived, they were greeted by a library hostess at a podium. She sat them
at their seats and provided them with an activity placemat about the book. The room was set
up as one large square table so that everyone was face to face and could actively participate in
the discussion. A yellow paper table cloth covered the whole table arrangement encouraging
everyone to creatively doodle and think outside the box, just like the message in The Day the
Crayons Quit. Each place setting had a placemat, a pack of crayons or twistable. Each family also
received a numbered card that they were told to keep face down until their number was called.
Once everyone was seated with their food, each child was invited to share the peach and
the pit of their day. Then the discussion began starting with question #1. Each family took
turns reading their questions and answering. These questions served to prompt conversation and
encourage both parent and child participation. There was a lot of laughter as participants retold
their favorite part of the story. One set of siblings even bonded over learning that the other had
been absent from school that day. What an opening that was. See, thats why its important to
talk at the dinner table! You learn something new every day. Everyone smiled in agreement and
the conversation took off from there.
Once finished eating, the group completed an illustration about the crayons while eating brownies for dessert. As the night concluded, each child went home with an assortment of
chopped and peeled crayons with instructions on how to make their own crayon creation. On
her way out the door, a parent said, This was such a worthwhile event. When is the next one?
Another attendee chimed in eagerly, yeah, whats the next book?! In case you have forgotten,
its Thursday, February 12 at 7pm at Calvert Library Southern Branch with Jon Scieszkas book
The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. For more information and to register, call Calvert Library at
410-326-5289.
Starting Anew
Elections are over, the newly elected sworn in, first comes orientations before
the business of the people can begin. Your Calvert County Board of County Commissioners has two new members; one with more county government experience
and the other who will catch up following a longer learning curve.
Besides having one full day of orientation about the various county departments within Calvert County, and soon to be another day getting into further
details about the departments various divisions, much time will be spent about
the budget, its process, schedule, and construction.
Yet, there is more orientation that occurs for elected officials and is provided
by an outside organization. The Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) is a
non-profit and non-partisan organization that serves Marylands counties by articulating the needs of the local government to the Maryland General Assembly.
State leaders recognize the organizations effectiveness in advocating county issues, often deferring to MACo positions.
Two annual (summer and winter) conferences occur. We just completed the
winter conference whose theme was The Road Ahead specifically tailored to
provide newly elected officials a host of information about their transition from
private to public life. While the amount of information presented might seem like
trying to drink water from a fire hose, the level of documentation, contact information, and exchanging ideas with others throughout the state is most valuable.
Commissioners
Corner
Specifically provided during this conference was orientation on local government structures, budgeting, elected officials role in the media, and a mentoring
session with veteran elected officials.
Considering the desire by many citizens to see greater transparency within
their local government, it certainly seems that becoming more aware of the issues
facing the government officials would be helpful for the citizens. To that end,
MACo provides a wealth of information that is readily available in many forms.
Their primary web site is www.mdcounties.org. Please visit this site to begin a
greater awareness. Besides this site, MACo has many communication tools such
as a blog (which is a treasure of current information) called Conduit Street (conduitstreet.mdcounties.org). Additionally, the most current information can be accessed through Twitter (twitter.com/MDCounties) and Facebook.
Better-informed citizens will always be helpful to those of us who serve in
elected office. Your new board is seated, already working well together, and extends a Happy New Year and Best Wishes as we continue working together for the
betterment of Calvert County.

The Relationship
Between Paint
and Mood
Painting is one of the easiest and
least expensive ways to transform the
look of a space. The colors homeowners
choose for their walls can give rooms
their own unique feel and even affect
the moods of the people within them.
Finding the right shade for a bedroom or kitchen involves more than
just selecting the first color that catches
your eye. Design experts and psychologists alike say it may be worthwhile to
choose a color that helps you feel good
rather than just following design trends.
The paint color you pick may add energy to a space or create a tranquil retreat where you can unwind at the end
of the day.

Blue
To create a spa-like environment
and a more serene space, look to shades
of blue in soft variations. Cool blues
are soothing colors that can help lower
stress levels and promote sleep. That's
why blue is a frequent fixture in bedrooms and bathrooms. Just be advised
that too much blue can make a room appear cold and stark, so balance out blue with
some warmer accents.
Orange
Many people do not immediately consider bright orange for their homes, but
when used as an accent shade, orange can really brighten up a home. Orange is
considered a shade that expands creativity and imparts a youthful appeal to a space.
Consider an orange accent wall or a burst of color with orange throw pillows. If
pumpkin orange is a little too bold for you, tone it down by choosing a more pastel,
peachy hue, which is equally warm and energizing.
Red
Red stimulates energy and appetite, which is why the shade is so popular in restaurants and home dining spaces. Red is a good choice for social gathering rooms but
may not be the wisest choice for a bedroom, as the color may prove overstimulating.
Green
Green can evoke composure and tranquility and works in any room of the house.
Since green is the primary color of nature, it also works well for those people who
want to bring some of the outdoors inside and work with the fresh starts and new
growth that green can inspire. To make green feel less subdued and sleepy, work
with its complementary opposite, red, by using a few bold red accents here and there
to balance out the tranquility of green.
Purple
People have long related purple to royalty, and this dramatic color can add a
formal, regal aspect to a home depending on the hue. Purple also may help stimulate
the creative side of the brain. In paler shades of lavender, purple can seem almost
ethereal and spiritual. Some designers suggest avoiding purple in a bedroom because that is a place you want your brain to rest rather than be stimulated.
Yellow
Few colors are more vibrant than yellow, which can help stimulate conversation and make thoughts more focused. A luminous shade of yellow is an ideal way
to make any space more welcoming and bright. Just use it sparingly, as too much
yellow may not be a good thing. Yellow accents mixed with touches of purple can
offer the balance needed to prevent yellow rooms from overwhelming residents and
guests.
Home decorators should keep in mind that colors can be blended to create the
desired environment. A color scheme based on complementary colors, or those opposite on the color wheel, may fit. Otherwise, analogous color schemes, or those
colors that are next to one another on the color wheel, can create a variation that
suits your design needs.

Southern Maryland Traditional

Music and Dance Concert
featuring the Sometime Sisters
Southern Maryland Traditional Music and Dance will sponsor a HomeSpun

CoffeeHouse concert featuring the Sometime Sisters, a dynamic group delivering
sweet tunes and sassy smiles.
Born in the wrong decade but fond of the internet, these fine ladies write and
perform their tunes under the influence of the way back and the thoroughly modern,
all the while playing more instruments than they have hands. They are a distinctive
and eclectic treat for eyes and ears alike. They perform a mix or original tunes, old
time jazz, and bawdy bluegrass. Instruments are passed among the band members
including guitar, ukulele, mandolin, violin, banjo, percussion, and upright bass. Nor
are they afraid of either accordion or kazoo! They feature Kris Consaul (vocals, guitar, uke, banjo, bass, banjolin), Aislin Kavaldjian (vocals, violin, mandolin, banjo,
bass), Jeremy Cooney (banjo, bass, guitar) and Branden Hickman on percussion. The
doors open at 7 p.m., and the music starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for members, $15 for non-members. Refreshments are available (donation requested). For
more information and directions, go to www.smtmd.org. The concert will be held in
the Christ Church Parish Hall, located at 37497 Zach Fowler Road in Chaptico on
Friday, Jan. 23.

Book Discussion
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

In 1865, Charles Lutwidge Dodson composed
a fantasy tale for a trio of young sisters. His
creative genius and childlike ability to imagine a universe like no other took form in one
of the most treasured childrens books of all

time. Under the pen-name of Lewis Carroll,
Dodsons tale of an intrepid little girl who
discovers a surreal, beautiful, and dangerous
land has shared its magic with generations of
readers. His Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, and
Queen of Hearts have become cultural icons,
to say nothing of the heroic young Alice herself. 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while

County residents with questions about

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
