By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Southern Maryland branch of the Experimental Aircraft Association is getting ready to take another round of potential Young Eagles out in their personal aircrafts on Oct. 12, starting at 9 a.m. We go until we run out of kids, said EAA chapter 478 President John Nelson. Planes will take off and land at the airfield in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates in Lusby. The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 to 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane, according to www.478.eaachapter.org. Participants listen to a short presentation about personal aircrafts before going up. These flights are offered free of charge, Nelson said. Young Eagle flight participation varies widely in number from 60 in June 2013 to as many as 120 at past events, Nelson said. The turnout is largely dependant on the weather. A minimum of eight pilots must be available to host Young Eagles events, Nelson said. There are 14 pilots signed up to fly on Saturday. Every pilot who will be
flying on Saturday is FAA certified. If a child cannot come to an event EAA chapter 478 pilots will schedule a private flight time, Nelson said. You never forget your first flight. Children often want to go up again after their first flight and are welcome to attend every Young Eagles event, Nelson said. They can sign up for the Young Eagle program and receive a logbook to record their flights. A youths first flight can be a life changing experience. Quite a few aviation professionals got their first airplane flights as young eagles, Nelson said. A flight test engineer at Pax River Naval Air Station first flew with former chapter president Sid Wood, and credits his flight with his high school grade improvement from C's to A's and successful college and professional experience. He received his pilots license right after finishing college. For more information about Young Eagles and the EAA, visit www.eaa.org or www.478.eaachapter.org. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

The Spaceflight America Museum, to be housed in the planetarium at Calvert High School, is slated to open in 2014. The building, which currently houses offices, storage areas and classrooms while parts of the high school are still under construction, would be completely renovated for its new purpose. Sigmund Gorski and Alan Hayes with Volanz Aerospace, Inc. gave a pre sentation on the soon-to-be museum at the Northeast Community Center in Chesapeake Beach, revealing the new logo, concept floor plans and display models. Its amazing what you can track down, Hayes said, listing some of the hundreds of items they have to display, which include helmets from the Apollo missions and gloves and even a digital camera made in the 1980s, a full Russian spacesuit, heat shields and other items that have been used in space or to train for space. They even have meteors, which students will be allowed to

McDonalds Surprises Calvert County Teacher Of The Year With $500 for School Supplies And Donates $300 To Southern Middle School
The McDonalds Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C. honored Jon Cox, the Calvert County Teacher of the Year. Cox was recognized by the Maryland State Board of Education for excellence in instruction and leadership within the classroom and community. To celebrate Coxs accomplishment, McDonalds hosted a McTeacher of the Year Night in his honor on Monday, October 7th at the McDonalds located at 13500 Hg Trueman Road in Solomons. Members of Southern Middle School and the local community gathered to congratulate Cox while also earning a portion of total sales during the event. McDonalds matched the amount raised and has donated $300 to Southern Middle School. In addition, McDonalds surprised Cox with a $500 gift card for school supplies as well as a free McCaf beverage every week for a year. The McDonald's Family Restaurants of Greater Washington D.C. honored 6 additional Teachers of the Year from Maryland counties in the Greater Washington D.C. area with special McTeacher of the Year celebrations and as a result donated a total of $6,100 throughout the 7 counties. McDonalds has a long history of supporting educational programs within our communities and we are excited to be a partner of the Maryland State Department of Education, says Luis Gavignano, McDonalds Washington D.C. Cooperative President. By hosting these special McTeacher Nights at McDonalds it not only provides an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding Teacher of the Year honor, but it is a great occasion to raise money for a deserving school. McDonald's legacy of charitable contributions to the community and support for education permits local schools to benefit from McTeacher of the Year Nights as a local fund raiser. The local Maryland McDonalds restaurants annually honor Maryland's twenty-four Teachers of the Year nominees as the official sponsor of The Teacher of the Year Annual Cruise and as a sponsor for the Teacher of the Year Gala. McDonalds has served as an official sponsor to the program Calvert County Teacher of the Year Jon Cox celebrates with his family for over 16 years. and Ronald McDonald at the McDonalds McTeacher of the Year Night

Until 2010, PRAD was held on the Glasscock property across from the museum. Now, the two-day festival is held on the museum property, with parking, pony ride, rides and other additional attractions across the street. While the move precipitated some growing pains, Sturrock said it was well received. The festival has maintained an environmental focus, evident in the presence of local watermen. Southern Maryland Watermens Association President Tommy Zinn said the association will be on hand with
samples of equipment watermen use on a daily basis and information on oysters and crabs, among other things. It sets us aside from other events, Sturrock said. All proceeds from PRAD go to P.R.A.D., Inc., then back into the community through grant awards to non-profit organizations that either provide educational programs or conduct research activities focusing on the Patuxent River or Patuxent River Basin, according to www.pradinc. org.

weekend. The Green Village features scores of non-profit groups that celebrate the river in a wide variety of ways. There, visitors will be able to see exhibits, demonstrations, displays, and educational activities about green products, recycling, oyster restoration, native plants, wildlife, restoration efforts, live animals, and more. Bounty of the Patuxent will be offered again at this years PRAD. On Saturday, local wineries will be offering wine tasting in the Corbin Pavilion. Local produce will be for sale as well as soaps, candles, candy, locally formed oysters, and other homemade items. Because this has been so popular it is being given more space, McCormick said. The organizers make an effort to keep the Bounty of the Patuxent separate from the
arts and crafts booths. In addition to spectator activities, there will be hands-on activities for children and families of all ages, including toy boat building. Sturrock said children who build toy boats at some of the first festivals bring their children back years later and build boats with them. PRAD is a great event to introduce any newcomers to Calvert County, Sturrock said. You never forget your first time at PRAD, Sturrock said. Another tradition is the annual PRAD Parade with a one-mile route along Solomons Island Road, which will begin Sunday at 2 p.m. Zinn will be this years parade grand marshal, a position often given to someone in the community who has

Adopt a 100% Tobacco Free Policy at County Parks; Our Kids Are Worth It!
This letters in response to Commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupts letter Oct. 3, Calvert Gazette, which was in response to Mrs. Bubsers letter Sept. 26, Commissioners Must Institute a 100% No Smoking Policy at County Parks. I believe commissioner Slaughenhoupts response did not address the main issue; the health, safety and wellbeing of our kids and residents. As elected officials, the Commissioners have the authority and responsibility to protect the health and safety of all residents, especially our children. They are expected to make safe and sound decisions; to date, they are not.

A 100% smoking ban is the only healthy solution! I am very disappointed the Commissioners are overlooking the health and well-being of our children and county residents. We also need to send a clear, consistent message to our kids that smoking, including secondhand smoke, is dangerous to their health. Just to be clear The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers. Secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds are toxic and about 70 can cause cancer. Our County Police, teach the D.A.R.E. This letter refers to a 4 column, full-page letter written by Beth M. program to our schools, Boy Scouts and Girl Bubser on Thursday, Sept. 26, "Commissioners MUST INSTITUTE A 100% No Smoking Policy at County Parks". She is referring to a sign in the parks that informs smokers to be Publisher Thomas McKay courteous by smoking only in parking areas.

Calvert Hospice Bridges Program Provides Grief Support for Children and Teens
Calvert Hospice provides grief support for children ages six to 13 and teens ages 13 to 17 years of age through a program called Bridges. This program is open to all Calvert County children and teens dealing with the loss of a loved one and you do not have to be a hospice-related client to access the Bridges program. Death is a scary part of life, especially for children and teens,, stated Maureen Tores, Calvert Hospice Social Worker. The Bridges program focuses on the specific way that young people cope with grief and loss by providing thoughtful guidance through the grieving regardless of the cause of death, Tores concluded. Through the Bridges program children and teens are divided into age-appropriate peer groups where creative activities and discussion are used to assist with coping and healing. Adult family members learn the similarities and difference between child and adult grief. This process helps with the healing process of both children and the adults in their lives. The Fall 2013 Bridges five-session program will be held on Thursdays, Oct. 17 through Nov. 21 (weather permitting) from 6:30 p.m to 8 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church 90 Church St. Prince Frederick, Md. 20678. Pre-Registration is required and the program is free to all Calvert County residents. Please call Maureen Tores at 410-5350892 Ext. 2201 or email information@calverthopsice.org.

Every year Americans fill enough garbage trucks to form a line that would stretch from the earth halfway to the moon, and each year tons of unwanted books find their way into landfills. Happily, not all books have to meet that fate. With a little creativity, a little energy, and a little time, many formerly-loved books can be repurposed. In the Repurposed-Books-As-Art Display at Calvert Library Prince Frederick, Carolyn McHugh, artist and member of the Friends of the Library Ex-
ecutive Board, demonstrates how used books from thrift shops, books sales, and garage sales found a new purpose in life--not only as art but as a fundraiser for Friends of Calvert Library! Visit the library from now until Oct. 17 to bid on your favorite repurposed books. McHugh assures all bidders that repurposing is easy and painless. No sacred writings, first-editions, Pulitzer Prize novels, or tomes of any historical or social value need be used in the process, and every part of the book--the cover, the spine, the pages--can be utilized to create a functional, artistic, or whimsical item. McHugh challenges all book lovers to pause before relegating a book to a landfill-fate and think of a creative way to give it a new lease on life. Or better yet, bid on one her creations to benefit Calvert Library. Friends of Calvert Library provide extras for the library such as digital cameras to record library events, DVD cleaners, supplies for workshops, snacks for library events, and much more. For more information, call Robyn Truslow at Calvert Library Prince Frederick at 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862.

Additionally, the expo is designed to have something for everyone who attends to enjoy.
