Discussion On Gun Violence Planned

By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
The leader of a Lusby Episcopal
Church congregation is pushing for a
community discussion for one of the
most controversial topics in the nation: how to curb gun violence in
communities.
Rev. David Showers, rector at Middleham and St. Peters Parish, wrote to St.
Marys County Commissioner President James Randy Guy, inviting him
to take part in what Showers called the
Big Coversation.
The objective of the Big Conversation is to bring the community together
to address issues of common concern,
Showers wrote. Gun violence in the

United States resulted in 33,169 deaths
in 2013.
Most people want to reduce
gun violence and this loss of life.
Hugh Davies, a member of the congregation organizing the event, said they
had reached out to people who championed both sides of the argument from the
pro-gun side and the anti-gun side.
Some of the panelists who will be taking questions from audience members
after giving their presentations seem to
be more from the anti-gun side of the
equation, Davies admitted.
One, Lisa Miller Delity, operates an
organization called Heeding Gods Call
which seeks to identify and shutdown

Series Maryland Farm
& Harvest Airs Jan. 5
Maryland
Public

(MPT) popular original series Maryland Farm & Harvest is now in its
third season with new half-hour episodes airing Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The

agriculture by telling stories of the
people, skills and technology required
to sustain and grow the states number
one industry.
Featured on the program on Tuesday, January 5 at 7 p.m. are:
Richardson Farms in White Marsh.
Despite its suburban location, this

Elceed Farms in Westover. Three
young children growing up on the
Somerset County farm balance
schoolwork with farming duties as

The Great Frederick Fair. Host
Joanne Clendening visits the fair to
sample the food and fun, find out how
its changed over time and the core
values that have remained the same

during the 153-year-old tradition.
Pleasant Points Farm in Royal
Oak. John Swaines commitment to
a healthier Chesapeake Bay has affected his farming methods. The Talbot County farmer uses aerial seeding
to plant cover crops and has converted
an existing roadside ditch into a filtering system designed to control runoff
from the farm.
A preview and additional information about the episode is available online at www.mpt.org/farm.
Joanne Clendining, who earned an
Emmy from the National Capital
Chesapeake Bay Chapter (NCCBC)
of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for her work
as Maryland Farm & Harvest host, returns for season three. Joining Joanne
is Contributing Editor Al Spoler, who
serves up the Local Buy segment during each episode.

According to data released today, the Mining, Logging, and Construction sector added
300 jobs. The Manufacturing sector added
1,200 jobs. (The Durable Goods subsector
gained 300 jobs and the Non-Durable Goods
subsector added 900 jobs.) Job gains in NonDurable Goods Manufacturing were from
expansions by firms in both food and chemical manufacturing. The Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sector gained 1,900 jobs.
(The Wholesale Trade subsector added 700
jobs, the Retail Trade subsector decreased by
700 jobs and the Transportation, Warehousing, and Utilities subsector added 1,900 jobs.)
The Professional and Business Services sector added 900 jobs. (Firms in the Scientific

sector, adding 1,100 jobs. The Management
of Companies and Enterprises subsector decreased by 100 and the Administrative and
Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services decreased by 100 jobs.)

Calvert Sheriffs On
Patrol For Intoxicated
Drivers This New Years
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans says

that over the past few years the incidents of
drunken or drugged driving have decreased
somewhat during the New Years festivites
but deputies will still be on the lookout for
erratic driving.
Drunkeness is still the major cause of citations for driving under the influence (DUI)
but their has been a steady increase in the
amount of people driving while intoxicated
due to prescription pills.
Of the 350 to 400 DUIs the agency writes
each year, Evans said, the amount due to
intoxication from pills is around 10 to 15
percent.
But that rate has now risen to about 20 percent, he told The Calvert County Times.
There has been an increase over the last
couple of years, Evans said. We get a lot of

Holiday patrols for those kinds of offenses
are continuing he said but there are typically
more during the New Years celebrations that
for Christmas.
More people are celebrating outside the
home, Evans said. We just hope people are
smart.
Evans was encouraged, though, about
crime overall in Calvert County since in observing crime reports for this year over last
year he expected an overall drop in offenses
by about 10 to 12 percent.
Crime was down in what was known as
Part 1 crimes, such as murder, rape, armed
robbery, assault, burglary and thefts.

Dear Calvert County,

Can you believe that it has
been seven years since Calvert
County was gripped by the vision that we could end hunger in our community? Seven
years ago you, our partners,
decided that life in Calvert
County could be different. That
by working together we could
help move people from dependency to self-sufficiency in a
way that creates and sustains
real life change. Well friends,
seven years later we are seeing the fruit of your dedication.
For seven years you have been
about the cause, hunger, owning both the problem and the
solution. Thank you.
In 2015, End Hunger In Calvert County graduated its eighth
Culinary Training Program session. Nearly 90 students have
completed the program and 70

percent of them are now working. In addition, we launched
our pilot Caf Management
Program adding another opportunity for individuals to learn
a skill that lands them a career
in the Hospitality Industry. Finally, we expanded our Calvert
Cash Program and were able to
provided free tax services to
229 low-income individuals.
You made this growth possible.
Another victory that is your
victory as well, is that in 2015
our Partner Feeding Network
grew from 23 to 44 organizations. We can now say that
virtually every Food Pantry in
Calvert County partners with
End Hunger In Calvert County. Together, we are feeding
over 15,000 people every year.
That is something of which we

should all feel proud.
Thank you. Its truly our
honor to serve our community
with you. And as we close out
2015 and look ahead towards
the New Year, we at End Hunger In Calvert County are grateful for your commitment to
making a difference in the lives
of Calvert County residents. We
already anticipate another great
year together.

Together We Can,

Commissioners Corner
2016 Happy
New Year!
The start of a new year brings with it thoughts of the

old and ideas for the new. During the holiday season,
many visited with family and friends, reminiscing about
times ago and making new memories for the future.
Its a time for clearing out the closet so to speak, making resolutions for this year partially to set ones goals,
and prepare for what life will present us.
Just two years ago, during an extremely bitter cold
Sunday, I received a call about some deplorable living
conditions at a local trailer park. Today, those trailers
are gone and the property is in the process of becoming
owned by the state Department of Natural Resources
with the likelihood of that area becoming a river side
public park.
Many of us will face needing to remember to write
2016 as we draft checks or otherwise sign documents
that need to have a date assigned. Other probably more
challenging situations will face most of us. Lets resolve
to remember we are all in this together and assist those
who may be less fortunate.
Your Calvert County Board of County Commissioners contains the same members as last year, although
the seating arrangement changed with Commissioner
Tom Hejl becoming the Vice President, and me now
serving as the board President. This new position is one
that brings with it greater responsibility and I will resolve to do my best in that role. Thank you to my fellow
commissioners for supporting me.
Soon, the Maryland State legislature will resume and
Calverts interests during their session will be something foremost on my mind and occupying my energy.
As a member of the Maryland Association of Counties
(MACo) board of directors and legislative committee,
and Chair of the MACo Rural Counties Coalition, my
time on Wednesdays in Annapolis will be filled with
many meetings. Views of citizens provided directly to
your commissioners will be very helpful for me to represent Calvert County.
We cannot help but notice there is a Presidential election this year which also means one additional day as
these always occur during a leap year. Just what everyone wants; one more day of a Presidential election campaign season.
The agenda for the Calvert County Commissioners
includes several work sessions where the staff will continue providing information about their services and
functions (and costs) so that the public can have an unprecedented insight into the budget process. How will
this budget for FY-17 (effective July 1, 2016) evolve is
still to be determined. However, one thing for sure is
that lots of money is not in the forecast. Hopefully, this
next year will be the final one where flat revenue has
become the norm. We are optimistic that FY-18 will be
that year where some relief is finally going to occur.
Besides the budget, your commissioners are still
working hard to see greater economic development in
the town centers; particularly in Prince Frederick with
the Armory Square project. It is not a yet a done deal
but every effort is being extended to bring forth the development that is consistent with the Charrette that had
such a large citizen input.
Inevitably, however, just as nobody could foresee the
events that unfolded with the trailer park in 2014, very
likely something unforeseen could occur which we later
will see define 2016.

What Your Elected Officials

Expect for Calvert in 2016
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
s the New Year comes around, here

are what your elected officials project for
Calvert County in 2016.
Commissioner Tom Hejl
Commissioner Tom Hejl
believes that the main and
most obvious challenge will
be balancing the budget. He
said that past boards have
used up a great deal of their
savings, so this will make
balancing the budget very
difficult. He adds that a lot of county employees have not had steps or cost of living
adjustments for quite sometime, so if the
commissioners want to give back to them,
that will be a significant amount of money
and difficult to factor into the budget.
Hejl hopes to get text amendments
completed so they can start to develop the
Armory Square property where the old
middle school stood. He says he hopes that
this will be their main priority.
Continuing with development, he believes that the county needs development
in the town centers, particularly in Prince
Frederick.
With the lack of affordable housing in
Calvert, he really would like to see the
construction of apartment buildings, condominiums, and town houses that young
people and young professionals can afford
to live within.
A legislative request for the 2016 State
Legislation asks that the county commissioners have term limits upon the number
of consecutive terms they serve.
Hejl supports this request saying, It
provides fresh ideas and fresh thoughts
so you cant stay so long that you become
stagnant.
As for medical marijuana, Hejl doesnt
think Calvert will see any changes in
2016, but in 2017 he says the county might
start to see licensing and the like.
Lastly, he wants to open up the transfer
development rights more so the farmers
can benefit. He said he would like to see
the county purchase TDRs again.
Were working really hard to do the
right thing for everybody, he said.
Sheriff Mike Evans
Heroin usage and overdose
has been a problem for the
state of Maryland and Calvert County for quite some
time. Sheriff Mike Evans
will be doing his best to decrease fatalities due to heroin
overdoses. He believes the
new drug court that requires drug treatment and rehabilitation instead of jail time
will be a good way for people to change
their lives and make a dent in the issue.
Decreasing fatalities on the highway is a
main priority as well. Evans says that zero
deaths on roadways is always their goal,
however in 2015, 13 people lost their lives.
In response, Evans and his deputies will
step up the effort to make sure people are
driving safely and obeying the laws.
Evans is happy to announce that in 2015
We are really dedicated

in this next year to
getting a lot of loose
ends tied up.
serious crimes such as murders, rapes,

robberies, burglaries, aggravated assaults,
thefts, and motor vehicle thefts have gone
down by 12 percent. It is Evans goal to
make sure that this trend continues.
Expected in 2016 are body cameras on
all deputies.
We want citizen satisfaction. We work
hard for the citizens of this county to keep
them safe both on their highways and in
their homes and neighborhoods, said
Evans
Unfortunately, another expectation is
for the federal asset forfeiture money to be
taken away. This is around $100,000 annually and Evans said this will make a few
things more difficult.
With the cuts, he still wants to see step
increases for his deputies this year as they
are supposed to get them annually but
havent received them for several years.
Its important that they get recognized
and taken care of, said Evans.
To all of Calvert he says, I work for
you, the citizens. My door is always open
and we want you to feel as safe as possible.
When you have an issue, dont hesitate to
call me.
Commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt
Commissioner Evan Slaughenhoupt said that the next
years budget has been built
in a completely new way and
is designed to allow citizens
of Calvert to have a lot more
insight into the budget itself.
Slaughenhoupt hopes that
they will see the benefits of this in June
when the FY2017 budget is put into action
and improve upon the new design from
there, if needed.
Slaughenhoupt said the last board and
the current board have been working hard
to try to get movement in the Armory
Square property.
According to Slaughenhoupt there are
four major types of development that they
would like to see put into the area.
This includes upscale commercial retail
that the county does not currently have
and needs, a permanent community center, additional residential units, and green
space to give it a community feel.
For 2016, according to Slaughenhoupt,
the county commissioners are seeking
bonding authority so that they may raise
money for public safety needs and to replace Northern High School.
They also seek the authority to provide
incentives to businesses so they will settle
in Calvert County.
Years ago, the state took away the highway user fees from the county, which is
the money the county makes from its citizens paying tax on gas.
Slaughenhoupt and other commissioners would like to see the highway user fees
restored in order to be able to use that in-
come on the roads that are beginning to

need repair.
According to Slaughenhoupt, a never
before seen change for Calvert is on its
way.
About once a year the county commissioners meet with bond rating agencies in New York to, essentially, find out
their credit score. Instead of spending the
$40,000 or so to go up to New York, this
year they are inviting the agencies to come
down to Calvert.
From this they hope to get the last AAA
bond rating they have been trying to receive and give the agencies a tour of the
county.
Everyday is a challenge, he said.
Slaughenhoupt also told the County
Times that, although he has no details on
the event, Governor Hogan plans to come
visit Southern Maryland sometime in the
near future.
Commissioner Mike Hart
In the past year Commissioner Mike Hart said that the
commissioners spent a lot of
time doing housekeeping and
changing antiquated laws
that prevented new businesses from coming into the
county. Now they hope to see
more business growth, the benefits of the
changes they made in the New Year and a
continuation of the housekeeping.
We are really dedicated in this next year

to getting a lot of loose ends tied up, said

Hart.
Hart believes that the recently implemented drug court program will go over
very well.
Its an alternative to just locking somebody up and not getting them any treatment, he said.
Hart commented that the Sherriff and his
deputies have been doing a great job and
this will only improve their work.
Like Hejl and Slaughenhoupt, Hart
would also like to see movement in the old
middle school property and the Patuxent
Business Park.
Hart says the biggest challenge of the
year will be the budget. This means not
only keeping the services they have, but
also improving them.
About the next three years, however,
We have to live within our means, said
Hart. He does not want to see a rise in taxes
or cost of living because the county continues to take from its savings in order to
balance the budget. This means the county
must be careful on where they spend their
money.
I question everything, I truly feel its my
job to question every funding request, said
Hart. Just because I say no it doesnt mean
that I dont see a need or what have you, its
just that if you dont have the money, you
cant spend itI refuse to spend our kids
future; I refuse to borrow our kids future.

Mornics Seasoned Thru Caf

By Madeleine Buckley
Contributing Writer
Mornic Weemes discovered her love of cooking when
she catered a wedding as a favor for a friend. Now, 17
years later, she has opened Mornics Seasoned Thru
Caf in Lusby, a small and cozy, open establishment
that has fulfilled her dreams.
The menu is made up of burgers, chicken wings, seafood and more, or soul foods in Weemes words.
Its Grandmammas cooking with a new style, she
said. Old school cooking, just with a younger face doing it.
All of these foods are cooked to order and everything
is perfectly seasoned, so you dont need to add anything
to it. According to Weemes, this is what makes her establishment stand out. They make everything, including
the desserts, from scratch, and they never buy anything
pre-packaged.
I try to give the best quality, Weemes said. I feed
people how I would like to eat. Fresh food.
Weemes also claims her caf is special because it caters to everyone. Since the cafs opening, Weemes has
served customers of all ages, from young children and
up. In fact, she knows of one patron from opening day
who was 98-years-old.
Not only is the caf family oriented, it is family operated. Weemes, her husband and their three kids run it
themselves, seven days a week.
According to Weemes, finally opening the storefront
was a great success for their family after a difficult year,
as Weemes husband was diagnosed with cancer and hospitalized Dec. 17, 2014. Fortunately, he received a bone
marrow transplant and was declared cancer-free in June.
Dec. 17, 2015, exactly a year after the hospitalization,
was set as the date for the cafs soft opening. The opening, which was intended to run from 6 to 9 p.m. that evening, was a success of its own.
It was mayhem, Weemes said. It was wall to wall
People started coming into the parking lot at 2 p.m. that
evening, so I ended up opening my doors at 2:30 p.m. We
stayed open until 11 p.m. that night.
The official opening, which was the following day,
was no different. People arrived at 9:30 a.m. for an 11
a.m. opening, and the caf stayed crowded all day. This
meant the Weemes went through a lot of food, including
six bushels of collard greens in 24 hours.
Weemes says the most popular dish is between the
greens and chitterlings, a dish that has become so indemand it had to be regulated to weekends only.
You have to clean them three or four times and prep
them and cook them, she said. So the way they can
keep up with them and keep them as a good product is to
only do them Friday Saturday and Sunday.
Many other dishes are popular too, as evidenced by the
cafs 4.9 of 5 star average review on Facebook. In their
comments, reviewers have used phrases such as Cant
wait to try your food again, My new favorite place to
eat, Everything we tried was so delicious and The
love in her heart is expounded into the taste and quality
of the food.
Weemes continues to check these online reviews every evening, in addition to checking with customers
Mornic Weemes of Mornics Seasoned Thru Caf with her husband.
The first meal ever served at Mornics Seasoned Thru Caf.
throughout the day to make sure everything is right.

I havent had an unsatisfied customer yet, she said.
While she hasnt had a bad review, she also hasnt had
a moments rest, as service has been nonstop since day
one. However, she doesnt mind.
Ive been loving every minute of it, she said. I have
to give all the praise and glory to God.

Sophia Brauns always dreamed of opening a

yoga studio in her hometown. On Dec. 11, she
opened GROW and her dream came true.
Brauns began practicing yoga in 2003.
It was the one thing that kept me centered,
that always brought me back to who I was, what
I really want and what I want to give, she said.
In 2009 she began teaching yoga, but Brauns
had a long path ahead of her before she opened
her studio.
Brauns went to college as a pre-med student,
and upon graduation, her love for yoga brought
her to an internship with M.D. Anderson who
studied yoga and its effects on cancer. During
her time as an integrative medicine research intern, she really began to understand the power
of yoga and her dream to start her own studio
grew stronger.
After a year with the internship, she got a
call from Will Kreamer, owner of Chesapeakes
Bounty, asking if she still wanted to open a yoga
studio. He said he had found a space for her to
lease, so she packed up her bags and went to live
out her dream.
GROW offers classes tailored to seasoned
practitioners down to the people whom have
never tried yoga before.
The scariest thing about yoga, especially if
youve never done it before, is coming in, trying
your first class, and rolling that mat out. That can
sometimes be the hardest thing that you ever do
in your whole lifetime of yogabut I guarantee
if you come in, you will find yoga, said Brauns.

Owner Sophia Brauns performing an advanced yoga position
The outside of Brauns yoga studio GROW
can peak into and explore, said Brauns.

Inside the studio, almost everything was constructed by Brauns and her family and friends.
Everything inside is eco-friendly, for example
the reclaimed wood and VOC free paint, and
much of the supplies were bought from local
people.
Besides Brauns, GROW has three instructors,
Hannah DeAngelis, Kirby Ahlstron and Loretta
Dove.
All bring a unique flavor to the studio and
Brauns feels she is blessed to have these wonderful women working with her.
Our tribe is really strong, she said.
GROWs next event will be held on New
Years Eve from 11 p.m. to midnight. They are
offering a yoga class as a healthy way to welcome yourself into the new year and a new
lifestyle.
We want to see you grow, said Brauns.
GROW is located at 9124 Bay Ave. in North
Beach. They are open 30 minutes before and after scheduled classes.
