Optimists
Honor Law
Enforcement
Officials
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Attorneys, officers and more - all were honored by
the Calvert County Optimist Club at their annual Respect for Law awards banquet.
The banquet was held on May 11 at Mamma Lucias Restaurant in Dunkirk.
The guest speaker for the evening was Maryland
Governors Office of Homeland Security Director
Tim Hutchins.
He spoke about the riots in Baltimore. He was with
Governor Larry Hogan during the first night, which
he said was the most violent, and spoke about watching the governor interact with injured officers. That
is the kind of interaction that creates respect born of
understanding, Hutchins said, and law enforcement
officers now have an ally in the governor.
Its that respect thats absolutely needed, he said.
One of the things law enforcement is encountering
today is a disconnect from the community, Hutchins
said, and encouraged officers to make an effort to be
engaged and to change public perception. The public
needs to feel comfortable and able to approach officers,
not scared or intimidated. Community members often
identify police as military, and that is not accurate.
Part of being involved in the community is being

savvy about social media. Social media reaches into

homes and is accessible to all age groups, which can
be both a good and bad thing.
The most day to day danger is drug abuse, and officers statewide need to continue to focus on the epidemic, Hutchins said.

FY 2016 Budget
Nearing Completion
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The fiscal year (FY) 2016 budget is nearly
completed, and scheduled to be adopted on
June 2, but community members will still
have opportunities to have their opinions
heard.
Since presenting the staff recommended
budget, there have been a few changes. The allotment to Calvert County Public Schools was
decreased by $1.2 million to the Maintenance
of Effort funding level, the allotment to the
College of Southern Maryland was increased
by $300,000, and public safety received funding for additional sheriffs deputies and an investigator for the states attorneys office, according to Department of Finance and Budget
Deputy Director Joan Thorp.
The amount of fund balance money to be
used has decreased slightly from $5.9 million
to $5.6 million, Thorp said.
This year is the first that fund balance
money will be used for operational costs. The
fund balance is essentially the savings account for the county, and using money from is
for recurring costs is a last resort, according
to Department of Budget and Finance Director Tim Hayden. He laid out a number of options to the Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC), including layoffs and furloughs,
during one of their weekly meetings and they
chose to use the fund balance.
SPRING SPECIAL:
15% all repair service over $500
Just mention this ad. Discount excludes pickup and delivery fees and any parts or
fabric. Must be presented at time of estimate. Only applicable to jobs sold in May.
Repair
Refinishing/Specialty Finishes
Antique Restoration
Kitchen Cabinet Makeovers
Re-upholstery
Pickup and Delivery Services
The decision caused the BOCC to plan

changes to the way the budget is developed
when planning for FY 2017.
The way its done now is really, really
backwards, said County Commissioner Evan
K. Slaughenhoupt.
Instead of building the budget on the previous years, the BOCC will begin talking to
department heads in June and prioritizing
services and projects. The goal is to build the
budget from the ground up and not use any
fund balance money in the FY 2017 budget.
This years budget build was a learning
experience for some of the commissioners
elected in November.
When I ran, I didnt know how much debt
we were in until I got there, said County
Commissioner Mike Hart.
Hart supports the proposed new approach
to the budget build, hoping it will help the
county live within its means without depending on the money due to come in from Dominion Cove Point in four years.
We dont want to hurt anybody, but thats
the reality, Hart said, adding that its likely
the Dominion Cove Point funds will go to pay
down existing debt.
There will be a final public hearing on the
FY 2016 budget at 7 p.m. on May 19 at the Calvert Pines Senior Center in Prince Frederick.

Help Plan for
Shipments to
Dominion Cove Point
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
As part of the Dominion Cove
Point expansion project, there
will be approximately 80 heavy
hauls to deliver equipment to
the construction project. These
equipment deliveries are described as Heavy Hauls. This
equipment is too large either in
length, width, height or weight
to be carried by a conventional
trailer. Therefore, it will be carried by a specialized trailer to
distribute the load evenly, to
meet State Highway Administration (SHA) requirements. In
order to deliver this equipment
to the jobsite, IHI-Kiewit has
developed a Heavy Haul plan,
which has been submitted to and
approved by SHA. This plan was
developed with input from the
County, to provide minimal traffic disruption and have as little
impact as possible on traffic in
the area during the hauls.
The Calvert Sheriffs Office

and Maryland State Police officers will escort the trucks and
route traffic around them. When
the trucks are on Cove Point
Road, there are three locations
designated as pull-over sites to
allow traffic to pass. When the
trucks make the turn into Dominion Cove Point, closing off
access past the facility for approximately 20 minutes, there
will be staffed ambulances and
fire trucks stationed to respond
to any emergencies.
The hauls are scheduled Sunday evening through Thursday
evening, between 9 p.m. and 5
a.m.; there will be no hauls on
Friday or Saturday nights. The
haul schedule has taken into account special events scheduled in
the area to avoid impacting these
events.

Supporting Women in Transition
By Megan Conway
Contributing Writer
On May 9, Anne Arundel Community College presented donated items to the women of Ruths Miracle
Group Home in Lusby, Md.
CEO and Founder of Ruths Miracle Group Home Veronica Alston reported, Ruths Miracle Group Home is
a transitional home for women, and recovery.
Residents of the home may come to heal from domestic violence, non-felony incarcerations, homelessness
or substance abuse. Here, women are able receive their
basic needs in addition to counseling, compassion and
companionship. Founded in 2009, the home is in its fifth
year of existence, and houses up to 9 women. The house
has a leader (in charge 24/7), Wanda Davis. Women
have come from as far as Philadelphia and Delaware to
live at the home, as Alston pointed out that sometimes
recovery is easiest when people can have a fresh start.
Alston said that the home is aimed to help women prioritize their lives, giving them a home setting to aid in
recovery.
Its just like you walking into your home. It makes
them feel good about themselves.
The home does not allow controlled substances, and
the women keep it clean and comfortable.
Im proud of each and every one of my ladies, said
Alston.
The drive for the home was organized by the Human
Service Club at Anne Arundel Community College, a
group overseen by Dr. Nicole Williams. It was the idea
of Ashley Auerbach, a member of the club and intern at
Ruths Miracle Group Home. Items were collected April
14 through May 5. Also in attendance as the items were
presented was Calvert County Commissioner Mike
Hart.
When the Human Service Club met and decided to
take on projects, the first that popped into Auerbachs
head was one that related to her internship.
The first project I could think of wasto collect

donations for the ladies living at the home. The Human
Service Club totally embraced it. So, we went from that
phase to creating it. I came to the home and asked each
individual lady what their needs were, and from that,
I created a list for each client. And then we made two
fliers: a flier with the information and a flier with the
needs. People just provided whatever was on that flier,
said Auerbach.
Weve collected over 100 items. Its to the point
where we had five huge (decorated) boxes, moving boxesand every single one was overflowing onto the table
and under the table, said Auerbach of the success and
support of the project.
Alston is in the process of creating a new facility for
women and their children. For this reason, Auerbach
said the drive also collected some kids clothing, to
help her be successful in opening this new transitional
home.
I would like to say, Thank you, to Anne Arundel
Community College, but Id personally want to say
thank you to Ashleigh for being such a committed person. She was an excellent intern. She taught us a lot, as
well as we were able to teach her, said Alston about
Auerbach. Alston also expressed her happiness that Auerbach was able to contract hands-on experience in her
desired job field of counseling.
A counselor that now has a round, full table (of both
book and hands-on knowledge), they have more passion,
more love towards helping ladies in these particular
situations.
Ruths Miracle Group Homes next fundraiser is
Moonlight Dance on the Bay which will be held Friday, July 10 at 7 p.m. Be sure to attend, and for more

and was captured and arrested. White was
charged with giving a false statement to police
officers and obstructing. Both were taken to
the Calvert County Detention Center.

Ever read the Calvert County Legal Notices

in the newspaper? Some individuals do to gain
more insight into the workings of the county
government. Recently, weve included a Calvert County Logo to identify the grouping of
legal notices pertaining to the likes of purchasing bids, and upcoming public hearings.
This was tailored as such based upon specific
requests from members of the public.
Did you see in the newspaper the recent notice in large font that says, Calvert County
Government Notice of a Proposed Real Property Tax Increase? Neither property tax rates,
nor Income Tax rates are being increased by
Calvert County. This misleading notice is required (by the State of Maryland) to be posted
to include the specific wording, font size and
other details that leads the reader to conclude
we are increasing our tax rates. The State prohibits including clarifying information.
County charges town residents .556 per
$100 of assessed value on their real property
taxes. Town assessments increased by 0.6 percent. To receive the same amount of revenue
as last year, we could charge town residents
.5529 (instead of .556) known as the Constant
Yield Rate simply a rate that, when applied

the inner workings of the

county government.
All too often, things
your county government
is doing that are efficient,
productive, and helpful to the citizens remain
known only to those within the government.
More opportunities exist for the county to inform the public. County officials are being encouraged to produce multiple video vignettes
to demonstrate what is occurring and how
such benefits the citizens. Greater transparency is being encouraged.
Citizens should have every expectation that
the largest employer within the county (local
government) provides sufficient information
readily available so they have an appreciation
and understanding of ongoing activities.
Given the above communication tools
available to the county government, it can
be amazing to learn many citizens still view
the county government activity as a mystery.
While the government may think it is conveying information, much of that information is
not necessarily received by the anticipated
audience. Learning from citizens they lack
sufficient insight into the workings of their
government leaves a message loud and clear,
we need to Communicate, Communicate,
Communicate.

Supporting Local Farmers
From growing to distribution, Calvert
County is actively supporting local farmers
and offering them opportunities to sell homegrown vegetables, handmade breads, preserves and more.
Local Farmers Markets
Calvert County farmers markets are
unique because each is a producer-only market. The vendors sell produce raised by local
farmers and each market offers products that
are regionally available seasonally, said Public Information Specialist Angela Walters.
All county farmers markets accept WIC and
Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
vouchers from the Maryland Department of
Agriculture.
When individuals buy local more money
stays in the community, Walters said. For every $100 spent at a locally owned business,
approximately $45 stays in the local economy.
When you shop in Calvert County, you simultaneously create direct and spin-off jobs,
support job creation in other business sectors,
fund more county services through sales tax,
invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development. Buying local
creates and keeps local jobs. Local businesses
prefer to hire local workers and often pay them
more, creating jobs in the community for people of all ages. In fact, small businesses are the
largest employer in North America, Walters
said.

From Donuts to the Orphanage

Venture Crew 429 Raising Funds
for Service Trip to Saint Croix
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
North Beach and Chesapeake
Beach based Venture Crew 429 recently celebrated their second anniversary, and is in the middle of a
fundraising campaign for a service
trip to Saint Croix this summer.
As part of their fundraising
campaign, the Venture Crew has
been selling Krispy Kreme donuts
in front of grocery stores and at
the North Beach Farmers Market.
They will be starting a GoFundMe
account, said crew advisor Abby
Ybarra.
According to www.scouting.
org, venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts
of America for young men and
women who are 14 years of age or
13 years of age and have completed the eighth grade and under 21
years of age. Venturings purpose
is to provide positive experiences
to help young people mature and
to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
Venturing Crews can be co-ed,
and are open to scouts and nonscouts alike, Ybarra said. Venture
Crews participate in more high
adventure activities such as white
water rafting, ropes courses, and
camping trips.
This is the crews first major
service trip, Ybarra said. While
in Saint Croix, the crew will volunteer at an orphanage and help
repair local hiking trails.
The crew is looking forward to
experiencing a new culture.
I just want to see what the rest
of the world is like, said venture
crew member and North Beach
resident Jeffrey Johnson.
Any time you put any kind of
Boy Scout on a plane, its going to
be an adventure, Ybarra said.
To support the venture crew,
send a check to the American Legion Stallings-Williams Post 206
c/o Venture Crew 429, 3330 Chesapeake Beach Rd, Chesapeake
Beach, Md., 20732. For more information, email abbyybarra@
earthlink.net.

Patrick Bissell, Jeffery Johnson and Ryan Beach will be joining Venture Crew 429 in a service trip to Saint Croix.

Superintendent
Looks to Budget
and Graduations
in Coming Month
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
From budget concerns to graduation, the next month will be a busy
one for Calvert County Public Schools
(CCPS).
There are two big priorities in the
coming month, said CCPS Superintendent Daniel Curry. The first is the
May 19 Calvert County budget hearing. The current proposed Board of
County Commissioners budget has
CCPS funded at the Maintenance of
Effort level. Representatives from
CCPS plan to request an additional $3
million in funding from the BOCC.
This will go toward keeping teaching
and support staff positions that may
otherwise get cut, Curry said.
Calvert County Commissioner
Mike Hart said he may support CCPS
getting additional funding, but he expects representatives to delineate how
every dollar will be used and justify
the additional spending.
The other big event on the horizon

is high school graduation. All four
county high schools will celebrate
on June 3 and 4. Curry understands
seniors will be in high spirits during
the final days of their public school
education and asked, jokingly, that
they not damage themselves, other
students, or school properties in their
celebrations.
July marks Currys one-year anniversary with CCPS. Moving forward, he intends to work to realize the
Board of Educations priorities, which
include closing the achievement gap,
increasing the number of minorities
hired in professional positions, and
finding ways to reach out to the community. In addition, Curry plans to
find ways to support school principals
and give them more time to be instructional leaders.

tion to reducing nitrogen. Weve made some

progress but still have efforts to go. The
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries have long
been suffering from harmful algae blooms
caused by excess nutrients running off of
the land, due largely to a continually growing population in the Baltimore-Washington
corridor and the development of animal and
plant agriculture in its watershed. The harmful algae blooms addressed in this paper are
happening in addition to the usual spring and
summer temperature-dependent blooms that
result in dead zones in the Bay. The increasing frequency and intensity of these harmful
algae blooms will impact our ability to achieve
the ultimate goal of restoring a healthy ecosystem in the Bay and put a premium on effective methods to reduce nutrient pollution, said
Don Boesch, President of the University of
Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
This study points to the need for continued
efforts to reduce the amount of nitrogen running off the land and into the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries. The Chesapeake Bay is
not the only place facing such problems. Similar events are happening off the coast of China
and in many parts of Europe. Were seeing
this all over the world. More blooms, more often, lasting longer. In many places these trends
are consistent with increased nitrogen loads,
said Glibert. Temporal and spatial changes
in Chesapeake Bay water quality and relationships to Prorocentrum minimum, Karlodinium veneficum, and CyanoHAB events, 19912008 was published in the journal Harmful
Algae by Patricia Gilbert of the University of
Maryland Center for Environmental Science,
Ji Li of the University of Maryland, Department of Environmental Science and Technology, and Youghui Gao of the University of
Delaware. Drs. Li and Gao conducted this research with Professor Glibert when they were
graduate students at the UMCES Horn Point
Laboratory.
The University of Maryland Center for
Environmental Science unleashes the power
of science to transform the way society understands and manages the environment. By
conducting cutting-edge research into today's
most pressing environmental problems and
training the next generation of environmental scientists, we are developing new ideas
to help guide our state, nation, and world
toward a more sustainable future. From the
mountains to the sea, our five research centers

A recent study of harmful algal blooms in

the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries by the
University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science shows a marked increase in
these ecosystem-disrupting events in the past
20 years that are being fed by excess nitrogen runoff from the watershed. While algal
blooms have long been of concern, this study
is the first to document their increased frequency in the Bay.
The study focused on three of the most
common microscopic algae in the Chesapeake
Bay that can produce toxic or nuisance conditions when they become very abundant.
These are commonly known as harmful algal
blooms, or HABs. Two are caused by dinoflagellate species, Prorocentrum minimum
and Kalrodinium veneficum, and the third by
cyanobacteria, sometimes called blue-green
algae.
The study examined water quality data
collected by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources from 1991 through 2008. During this period, the average number of Prorocentrum miminum bloom events observed per
year doubled. The blooms were more likely in
May and resulted in the reddish waters most
commonly known as mahogany tide. Such
blooms are of increasing global concern and
can severely reduce the amount of oxygen
available to living things, kill fish and alter
food webs.
The annual occurrences of Kalrodinium
veneficum blooms have increased significantly from fewer than five events per year to more
than 30 in the five-year time period from 2003
to 2008. These blooms, also found worldwide,
are more likely in the summer, produce a toxin
that has been implicated in fish-kill events in
the Chesapeake Bay, as well as associated with
failure of oyster spawning and development.
The frequency of blooms of cyanobacteria
in the tidal waters of the Chesapeake estuary
has increased from about 13 per year in the
1990s to 23 in the 2000s. Cyanobacteria are
the major causes of HABs in freshwater environments, a rapidly expanding global problem
that threatens human and ecosystem health. It
was cyanobacteria blooms in Lake Erie that
last year required shutting down the water
supply in Toledo, Ohio.
This study aids in the broader understanding of the complex mechanisms that influence
harmful algal bloom progression in bodies of water rich in organic nutrients such as
phosphorus and nitrogen, and points to the
direct need to reduce nutrient pollution in the
face of both urban and agricultural development. There is a relationship with nutrientsas we change the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio we tend to create opportunities for
these species to bloom, said study author Pat
Glibert, professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences Horn
Point Laboratory. We need to pay more atten
Students from the seven Black Belt

Academies throughout the tri-county
area came out to compete in the All Star
Championship Tournament, showing
their skills in Tae Kwon Do forms, weapons, and self-defense.
The Black Belt Academy was one of
the first Tae Kwon Do schools in Southern Maryland, founded in 1998 by Master
Kyu Shim. The first tournament was held

in 2000. Each studio is under the instruction of a master, who oversees student
training. The academies take students
ages 3 and up.
Training in Tae Kwon Do has a number
of benefits, including physical and mental
conditioning, Shim said.

What an awesome night were the

words from Forrest Va.s Walker Arthur after claiming the thrilling win in
last Friday nights 30-lap RUSH Late
Model Touring Series event at Potomac speedway. The win for Arthur,
worth $2000, was the first of his Potomac career and it came in his trusty
family-owned MasterSbilt no.87.
Max Blair and defending Potomac
track champion Ben Bowie paced the
field to the initial green flag of the event
with Blair surging into the race lead as
the field blasted down the backstretch.
Blair was quite strong as he would
lead the first 13-circuits with fourthstarting Arthur in tow, as the top-five
positions changed with each lap. Blair
and Arthur would wage hand to hand
combat over the final 15-laps, trading
the lead back and forth, with Arthur
squeaking out the win by a fender as
the duo crossed the start/finish line
in almost a dead heat. Racing side
by side with Max (Blair) like that out
there tonight was awesome. Arthur
stated in his post-race interview. This
track was the best Ive ever seen it and
to come home with a win down here
with all the good cars that showed up,
what a night. Timely cautions and
double-file re-starts gave Arthur the
shot he needed to unseat Max Blair.
There were a few times I didnt
think Id be able to catch Max. Arthur stated. Those double-file starts
really seemed to help because I could
get along side him and try to break his
rhythm a little and we were able to beat
him at the line. Fifteenth-starting Jason Knowles took third, with Logan
Roberson and 2014 event winner Rick
Singleton rounding out the top-five.
Heats for the 26-cars entered went
to Jeff Pilkerton, Max Blair and Ben
Bowie.
Current point leader Mike Franklin
drove to his third win in a row and
fourth of the season in the 16-lap Street
Stock feature. Mike Latham appeared
to have the race in the bag as he took
the lead on lap-six and ran off, until
his car quit on lap-twelve, handing
the lead and eventual win to Mike
Franklin. Troy Kassiris took second

with Scott Wilson, Dale Reamy and
Lloyd Deans completing the top-five.
Jerry Deason drove to his first win
of the season in the 15-lap Hobby
Stock main. Deason, who lined-up
16th for the start, took the race lead
from Ryan Clement on lap-five and
then held-off a pesky Greg Morgan to
preserve the win. Clement held on for
third, 12th-starting Korey Downs was
fourth with Matt Stewart rounding out
the top-five.
Defending track champion JJ
Silvious drove the race of his career
to score his first-ever Potomac feature
win in the 20-lap Strictly Stock feature.
Silvious grabbed the lead from the pole
and would lead all 20-circuits to score
the break-through win. Nabil Guffey,
Greg Mattingly, Johnny Hardesty and
Jimmy Suite trailed.
Corey Swaim drove to his second
win of 2015 in the nightcap 15-lap
U-Car feature. Swaims flag to flag win
came over Jamie Marks, Sam Raley,
Brian Coe Jr. and DJ Stottler.

Contributing Writer
In 2008/09, a flushing toilet would have been the perfect sound to describe the U.S.
economy. Bailouts and toxic assets were common terms.
The unemployment rate was
spiking toward 10%. The financial sector,
after years of reckless lending, was about to
collapse. The Dow Jones Industrial Average,
hovering around 7,000, had lost nearly half
its value in less than two years. The Great
Recession, a dark, menacing entity, had arrived baring fangs and wielding a razor-sharp
scythe. The Grim Reaper likely feared for his
financial future. Can you imagine planning
for a retirement that lasts an eternity?
As my buddies and I watched our 401(k)s
get halved and our childrens 529 plans dwindle, we debated our now what? strategies.
Everything we had learned in business school
indicated that opportunities existed. As an
Economics professor once told me, when a
market correction occurs, stocks go on sale.
Right. So werent equities discounted when
the Dow was at 11,000? And 10,000? And
8,000? Where was the bottom, Doc? Wall
Street was a dumpster fire.
Ultimately we lacked the courage necessary for an aggressive stock purchase, instead
opting for modest individual investments. It
worked, but with the Dow now near a record
high, history has proven that stocks werent
just on sale in 2009, they were trading at
clearance prices. In hindsight, it was largely a
missed opportunity. Although given the little
mouths to feed and futures to secure, were all
happy to be employed and to have benefited
from the economic recovery.
Credit this revisited experience with The
Great Recession to the Dallas Cowboys and
owner Jerry Jones. Despite our areas widespread disdain for that godforsaken blue star,
this much can be said for Jerrys Boys: they
are consistently entertaining. During Joness
26-year tenure, Dallas hasnt always been
good, but they dont do boring. High profile coaches, extravagant free agents and big
trades have been the norm. Jones even built a
massive new stadium, pole dancers and all, to
house the circus.
But Jones may have lost his outlaw spirit.
Since gambling on troubled WR Dez Bry-
ant in the first round of the 2010 NFL

Draft, Dallass personnel moves have
been, by Cowboys standards, benign.
Jones has had only one head coach Jason Garrett since 2010 and he resisted
the temptation to draft Johnny Manziel
last year. Rational. Measured. Patient.
Conservative. Jerry?
Apparently Joness gambling spirit was
tempered only by Dallass recent run of
mediocrity. Invigorated by last years NFC
East championship, Jones is back at the table doubling-down. During free agency, he
signed talented DE Greg Hardy who is currently serving a suspension for domestic violence. In the second round of the NFL Draft,
the Cowboys selected DE/LB Randy Gregory,
a top-10 talent with a well-documented affinity for marijuana. Last week, Jones added to
his all-in offseason by inking offensive lineman LaEl Collins, a first round talent who
went undrafted after being named a person
of interest regarding the murder of his former girlfriend.
Since Roger Goodell was named NFL
Commissioner in 2008, he has made protecting the shield and policing the conduct
of players, coaches and executives a priority.
Bountygate cost Saints head coach Sean
Payton a one-year suspension. Colts owner
Jim Irsay was bounced for six games after a
DUI conviction. The Skins received a $36M
cap penalty for creative accounting. Players
are routinely suspended for conduct detrimental to the league, as Tom Deflategate
Brady will soon discover.
Goodells actions have left most organizations less nervy about taking risks. Jones
smartly and cautiously capitalized on the pervasive forbearance. Hardys on a one-year
prove it contract. With Gregory, Jones will
leverage the structure and support that turned
Bryant into an All-Pro. And Collins, questioned by authorities after the Draft, is not
considered a suspect.
Time will tell if Joness moves come up
aces. If nothing else he took a calculated risk
in an environment excessively risk-averse
- not a bad plan in sports, business or life.
Jones probably bought a ton of stocks in 2009
too, another reason to hateand respectthe
guy. Of course with stocks, he had more margin for error than the average Joeor Ronnie.

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

woodland stewardship and management, as well as timber harvesting,
