New County Sidewalk

Policy Approved
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
At their regularly scheduled meeting on
Tuesday, May 3, county commissioners
passed the countys new sidewalk policy
five to zero.
The policy states that it is now the property owner and/or occupants responsibility
to clear the sidewalk of snow for the entire
length of their property with the clearing
being at least four feet wide. The policy allows 24 hours to clear the sidewalk after a
smaller snowfall and 72 hours for a snowfall over four inches.
According to the policy, it is also the
property owner and/or occupants responsibility to fix damage and/or deterioration
caused by either an existing tree, improper
heavy loading onto the sidewalk, or any
other damage/deterioration caused by the
property owner or occupant.

If the snow removal policy is not followed, according to documents, a fine that
does not exceed $50 will be for the first violation, a fine not exceeding $75 will be for
a second violation and a fine not exceeding
$100 for each additional violation. Documents say that after the third violation, the
fine may include the cost incurred by the
county to clear the sidewalk on its own.
If the repair and replacement policy is
not followed, the same penalties are in order except for the costs rise to $100, $250,
and $500 for each violation.
The policy also regulates the countys
responsibilities that include building regulations, snow removal, enforcement, and
repair.
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is

one of the critical components of the health
of the Chesapeake Bay because it filters
pollutants, helps keep oxygen for bay life
abundant and gives newborn animals like
hard crabs a place to hide from predators.
And the states Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) is reporting that SAV is
back in the bay in record amounts, by about
29 percent between 2014 and 2015.
The state estimates that there is now
53,277 acres of mapped SAV in the bay,
which is just shy of the 57,000-acre goal it
has set for itself in 2017.
The record resilience and resurgence of
underwater grasses indicate that Maryland
is making progress on Chesapeake Bay restoration and improving water quality in the
watershed, Mark Belton, DNR secretary
said April 28. These grasses are essential
to a healthy ecosystem, they absorb and
filter out nutrients and sediment, reduce
shoreline erosion, provide protection for
species like the blue crab and largemouth
bass and support and sustain migrating
waterfowl.
The news about the SAV comes just
weeks after the state announced the results
of its winter dredge survey of the hard crab

population which is also showing signs of

renewed vigor.
State officials said that improvements
in the crab population were across all age
groups of the species; the spawning-age female stock nearly doubled rom 101 millon
last year to 194 million this year.
The male stock of crabs more than doubled, according to the survey, from 44 million to 91 million.
This is the second highest level of the
male portion of the species since 1995,
DNR officials stated.
Despite the good news, not all of the surveys results were positive.
The number of spawning age females
still remains below the target of 215 million; the population is still above the minimum threhold, though, according to the
state.
The survey reports the abundance of juvenile crabs also increased slightly from
269 million from last year to 271 million.
Conservation officials said that a relaxation on the limits for harvesting female
crabs might be in order this season because
of the increase in the population but the
also signaled that they will likely remain
cautious.

Chesapeake Garden Club Makes Donation in Grace

Sturdevants Memory
Prince Frederick, MD The Chesapeake Garden Club presented Calvert

Hospice with a $500 donation from a fundraiser that they held in Grace
Sturdevants honor. Ms. Sturdevant was instrumental in starting the Chesapeake Garden Club in Calvert County more than 50 years ago. She was a
Master Gardener in addition to her membership with the club. Her daughter, Kay Hardisky, said that her mother enjoyed her flowers, the companionship, and the opportunity to give back to the community that the club
provided.
The fundraiser started in January 2016 at the Executive Meeting of the
Chesapeake Garden Club, a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of
Maryland. The local chapter was able to sell the arrangements that were
made and designed for the larger meeting, netting $475 in donations. They
made up the additional $25 from
a personal donation by one of the
members.
Seven members of the Chesapeake
Garden Club attended the check presentation: Helen Downey (President),
Linda Springfield (Guest member),
Carol Orlando (Vice President), Bev
Steadman (Member), Pearl Haley
(Corresponding Secretary), Kay Parris (Recording Secretary), and Norma Phelps (Member).
The Chesapeake Garden Club has
several ongoing projects. They created and maintain a butterfly garden
at Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, and
they renovated and maintain two gardens at the Fairview Branch of the
public library. The club installed 26
bluebird boxes at the Naval Radar
Station and Twin Shields golf course
in Chesapeake Beach. They make
small floral arrangements for female
inmates who are released from the
prison in Jessup so that they have something cheerful when they are released. Four times a year the group goes to Calvert Pines Senior Center and
the North Beach Senior Center for
garden therapy. Chesapeake Garden Club provides all the materials for
seniors to make their own flower arrangements that they can take home
with them. The group finds that attendees look forward to the visits and
truly enjoy the time they spend with the flowers.
The local club has about 28 members and meets the 3rd Tuesday of each
month at 10 am at All Saints Episcopal Church. New members are always
welcome. If you would like more information, contact Helen Downey at
410-535-0780.

New Director of Secondary

School Improvement
Dr. Susan Johnson Named Director of
Secondary School Improvement
At the meeting on April 28, 2016, the
Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools appointed Dr. Susan Johnson to
fill the new position of the Director of Secondary School Improvement.
Dr. Daniel Curry, Superintendent, said,
The role of the principal has moved from
being a manager of the building to that of an
instructional leader who improves student
learning and increases student achievement. In Calvert County, we saw the need
to have a position dedicated to mentoring,
coaching and supporting the secondary
principals in an effort to ensure all students
graduate college and career ready. Through
reorganization of current positions, we
were able to fill this need.
Dr. Susan Johnson has served as the
principal of Calvert High School since
2006. Before moving to Calvert High, she
was the vice principal and then principal of
Northern Middle School. She taught spe-
cial education at Calvert Middle and Patuxent High prior to entering administration.
Dr. Johnson can best be described as
an exemplary professional with respect to
her leadership and character. As an educational leader, she has moved her school
forward with continuous improvement for
both students and staff. She embodies the
characteristics of integrity, honesty and
responsibility. As an educator in Calvert
County Public Schools, she has served as a
role model for her peers.
As a principal, she assumes the responsibility of mentoring staff members who
aspire to career advancement. She continuously and strategically works with her vice
principals and teacher leaders to increase
their leadership skills, which is evidence of
her ability to succeed in this new role. In
recent years, under her guidance, six teachers has been promoted to administrators
and five vice principals have become successful principals.
New Director of Human Resources

Laveeta Hutchins Appointed as Director
of Human Resources
At the meeting on April 28, 2016, the
Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools appointed Laveeta Hutchins as
the Director of Human Resources.
Dr. Daniel Curry, Superintendent, said,
We are pleased to have someone with Ms.
Hutchins experience step into the role of
Director of Human Resources. Her school
and central office roles have provided her
with the insight to facilitate the hiring of
highly skilled employees. She has the expertise to implement processes and procedures to ensure compliance with state and
federal laws.
A graduate of Calvert High School, Ms.
Hutchins has devoted her career to Calvert
County Public Schools. She began teaching at Mutual Elementary, eventually becoming a vice principal there and later at
Huntingtown Elementary. In 1996, she was
appointed as principal of the newly-opened
Windy Hill Elementary. Opening a new
school included hiring a complete staff,
developing the processes of a new school
and welcoming parents and students to a

new school community. Ms. Hutchins led
Windy Hill Elementary on its journey to a
school of excellence.
In 2005 she became a supervisor at the
district level, overseeing programs such as
English for Speakers of Other Languages,
Service Learning and Physical Education and Health. In 2009 she took over the
Federal Title 1 program, leading the program to a high degree of effectiveness and
compliance. Her career took on a new dimension in 2013 when she was appointed
Supervisor of Human Resources. Each of
these positions has prepared her to take on
the challenging task of serving as the Director of Human Resources.
Throughout her tenure in Calvert County Public Schools, Ms. Hutchins has earned
the respect of her colleagues and the community. Her priority is always acting in the
best interest of children when making decisions as an educator. Her professionalism,
integrity and work ethic are what make
her a true leader for Calvert County Public
Schools.

6th Annual Tea in the Garden

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
The Patterson Home and Gardens on

Point Farm located in the Jefferson Patterson Park will be holding the 6th Annual Tea
in the Garden event.
On May 22 on the back lawn of the home
overlooking the intersection of the St.
Leonard Creek and Patuxent River will be
a wide variety of tea, sandwiches, scones,
and cookies.
There will be classical music playing
from local groups in the area, there will be
a tour of the house offered, and a tea boutique with tea pots for sale.
According to Betty Seifert, the curator of
the house and the gardens, the event takes
place as a way to raise funds for the general
care of the house and the gardens and for
the repairs on many pieces of furniture and
parts of the garden that are needed.
According to Seifert, the house was
built in 1933 for Mr. Patterson who wanted a place in the country where he could
get away and entertain friends and family.
Gertrude Sawyer, a pioneering female architect, designed the colonial 2,385 square
foot home that includes three stories and a
basement.
Another woman, Rose Greely designed
the landscape and gardens. According to
Seifert, she was considered a pioneer landscaper in America, designed hundreds of
landscapes, and was recognized by the National Park Service.
The event will be from 1 to 4 p.m. at
10515 Mackall Rd. in St. Leonard. Tickets
are $25 for adult and children 11 and under
are $15. This is a dressy event. Hats and

gloves are encouraged. For more information, visit www.friendsofjppm.org or call

County Commissioners Propose Tax Increases For Calvert

First Rise In Over A Decade
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
County Commissioners are proposing what they describe
as a modest tax increase for both local income tax and property tax for Calvert County.
If approved, the local income tax rate would rise from 2.8
percent to 3 percent and the property tax rate would increase
from .892 to .952 per $100 of assessed value.
We consider it modest, but of course its in the eye of the
beholder, said Calvert County Commissioner President Evan
Slaughenhoupt.
According to a press release from the Department of Eco-
analysis, it revealed that 99 percent of the countys expenditures were mandated or mission-critical.
With such critical things to accomplish, it is difficult for
commissioners to cut or push anything back in the budget.
Frankly, we could not even agree to find $2 million worth
of cuts, Slaughenhoupt told the Calvert County Times.
Another reason for the proposal, Slaughenhoupt said, is the
two-part hit the county has taken from the state a few years
ago. This would be the responsibility of the teachers pensions,
which is $5 to $6 million a year, as well as the major cut in
highway user fees from the state, which forced the county to
pay another $5 to $6 million a year for roads.
We are basically making up for the $10 million a year hit

an $8.8 million to balance the budget.

Changes to that budget by the commissioners will be presented on May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Calvert Pines Senior Center.
The newly proposed budget will include the proposed tax increases, which serve as a way to close the $8.8 million gap and
keep money in the fund balance. Slaughenhoupt said that the
staff did recommend an increase in taxes last year, but they
resisted. During the meeting, the public will have a chance to
speak about the changes made to the budget as well as the tax
increases
When people are made aware of all the details, they come
to a conclusion that there is not much choice, said Slaughenhoupt about the feedback he has heard from the public so far.
Commissioners will vote to adopt the budget in early June.
Slaughenhoupt said the proposed budget also includes the
phase out of what he called the onerous business personal
property tax.
We are phasing it out to help local businesses realize that
we are on their side and we are here and it will help business
climb in our county, said Slaughenhoupt.
He said in 2018 they will reduce the business personal property tax by 50 percent and it will be zeroed out in fiscal year
2019.
Commissioner Mike Hart
Commissioner Vice President, Tom Hejl
Commissioner Pst Nutter
nomic Development, if approved, the property tax increase

would take effect July 1, 2016 and the local income tax would
take effect Jan. 1, 2017.
This would be the first time that the income tax has increased in 13 years and the first time that the property tax has
increased in 29 years.
According to the press release, these raises would still make
Calvert County the ninth lowest among Marylands 23 counties and Baltimore City for property taxes.
According to Slaughenhoupt, the average household income in Calvert County is around $95,000 a year. With the income tax increase, the average household will see an increase
of $190 a year.
The average home in the county is valued at $269,000, said
Slaughenhoupt, so the average home will see an increase $160
a year with the property tax increase.
With an estimated total of 94,000 Calvert County citizens,
this could lead to a generous increase in revenue for the county.
According to the press release, one reason for the increase
is that when Calvert County Government did a new budgeting
Commissioner Steve Weems
that we are getting from the state, said Slaughenhoupt.

Slaughenhoupt said the national economic downturn also
greatly affected the county.
It was either cut services or raise taxes, said Calvert County Commissioner Vice President Tom Hejl about how the proposal came to be.
He said if they close down the pool or shut down the park for
a month, people wouldnt accept that.
Realistically people need to understand that they have to
pay for their services, said Hejl. Nobody wants to do it, but
its the only way to make ends meet.
Before proposing to raise taxes, they had another way of
dealing with their financial difficulties. Weve absorbed these
[the hits from the state] for the past few years largely by dipping into our savings account and frankly were at a point that
we cannot continue doing that, were going to run out of money, said Slaughenhoupt.
According to the Staff Recommended Budget that was proposed last month, as of fiscal year 2017, the county would have
just $3.8 million left in the countys fund balance after taking
Should the Commissioners Budget pass on May 24,

Slaughenhoupt said the money from the increased taxes would
be used for hiring some new positions that are needed, like
permanent EMS workers.
We have been holding off some things that we need to
do, such as hiring some critical positions, and we are kind of
reaching a breaking point there, said Slaughenhoupt.
He said it would also help them get a AAA bond rating
for all three bond ratings, which helps interest rates stay low.
Slaughenhoupt said it would not increase the operating dollars,
meaning the county staff operations will continue to work at
the same reduced rate, and he said it would not permit them to
go on any kind of spending spree.
Calvert County Commissioner Mike Hart said that he does
not support the raises in taxes. The main reason, Hart said, is
because his district, District 1, has already seen a tax increase
in the past year from the state. He said some have also seen
raises in homeowner association fees, which means that citizens could see three new increases in bills should the proposed
tax increase be passed.
I understand the logic behind the tax increase, but this was
just bad, bad timing for my folks, said Hart. Im not criticizing the guys at all, its not an easy decision for anybody
if you look at our history, Calvert County doesnt raise taxes
very lightly.
Hart also explained that he would feel more comfortable
raising taxes once the county knew exactly what it needed to
spend and that the county has cut every amenity and extra expense possible before the taxes are raised.
Its hard for me to look at the taxpayer and say Im going
to raise your taxes but this amenity is still available, said Hart.
Amenities are nice, they really are, they provide a lot of fun
for the community, but if I got a guy struggling to keep his
home, is it food on the table or is it going to a park?
Calvert County Commissioner Steve Weems said that at
this present moment, he doesnt want to support or oppose
anything. He said he really wants to hear what the public has
to say before he makes his decision.

Commissioners Corner
Why?
Why would I support increased tax

rates? Its complicated. Our ability to
provide services using the least amount
of citizens money became unbalanced
after years of the Maryland State Legislatures unfunded mandates such as
shift in teacher pensions from state to
county (that actually shifted their pay
raises to their pensions), hundreds of
millions to implement watershed requirements, and tens of millions absorbed because the state holds
your gas tax money intended for county roads.
My 2010 campaign literature stated I would work hard to reduce
taxes and wasteful spending and lower the county piggyback tax;
that I would support Education, improve the county government,
support responsible land use decisions, address public safety issues,
and stay sensitive to societal issues.
The proposed budget for FY-17 includes phasing out an onerous
Business Personal Property tax, so offsets are needed to be found
elsewhere to ensure the same level of services for our citizens.
The proposed budget creates some long overdue critical staffing
positions to include our Office on Aging, Technology Services,
commitments to the agriculture community, and a few other positions, alleviating increased risks caused from years of no staffing
increases.
Increased funding does not increase operating dollars; we continue county operations at the same reduced levels. The increased
amount will not permit us to go on a spending spree. The proposed
budget ceases the continual dipping into reserve dollars intended
for emergency situations. It improves the likelihood of AAA bond
ratings from all rating agencies.
The proposed increased amount permits us to prepare for the
inevitable implementation of first ever paid Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) personnel. Calvert County is/was the last county
in the state with a 100% all volunteer Fire-Rescue-EMS. We need
these resources to phase-in paid EMS instead of later reacting to the
need following a future unforeseen tragedy. The proposed increase
is professional risk management at its best. Its a judgment call; and
I come down on the side of a primary responsibility, public safety.
Leadership means not always doing what is popular.
Timing? There is never a good time to increase rates. The decision to seek additional revenue by increasing tax rates (Income the
same as neighboring St. Marys County, and Property the same as
Wicomico County) still keeps Calvert County relatively low to the
rest of the high tax Maryland. Average estimated impacts: income
of $95,110 is $190/year and property of $269,000 is $160/year.

Before concluding the need for increases, for years
we first cut operating expenses by 15%, reduced actual staffing
through attrition and minor reorganizations, pushed back needed
projects, and exposed every detail of the dollars and associated Services and Functions. Anyone was welcomed to identify $10 million
worth of basic services to cut at: http://www.co.cal.md.us/index.
aspx?nid=1965

Though not happy that we needed to take this step, we
fought the good fight for as long as we could and only ask that any
who think we should keep the rates the same to identify what Services totaling some $10 Million they would cut from the citizens.
My decision was based solely upon the data and our responsibilities. My wife said it well, Its a tough pill to swallow.

Sheriffs NEWS
The Sheriffs Office is off to a great start in
2016. Our newest deputies who graduated from the
academy in late 2015 are proving to be outstanding
members of the agency. Their energy and fresh perspective are equating to a positive impact on serving the community. In February, we honored our top
performers at the annual Calvert County Sheriffs
Office and Detention Center Awards Ceremony.
Sheriff Evans recognized a combined total of ninety-seven sworn and civilian personnel, business
owners, and individual citizens for their outstanding efforts and contributions to serving the citizens
of Calvert County.
In January, the Sheriffs Office welcomed our
newest four-legged crime fighter, Canine Arn, a
Belgian Malinois puppy. Arn is the first puppy the
Sheriffs Office has purchased. Prior to Arn, canines were purchased as young adults with basic
training. Acquiring Arn as a puppy and training
him ourselves will result in a highly efficient canine
at a much lower cost to tax payers.
As we move into the spring and summer months,
we are looking forward to engaging our youth at
Camp Junior Sheriff. So far in 2016, 460 middle
school students have successfully completed the
D.A.R.E. program. Also in the coming months,
we will be releasing several public safety videos
that educate the public on how to interact with law
enforcement.
Deputy 1st Class Jeffrey Denton who is currently
assigned to the Patrol Bureau is recognized as the
Sheriffs Office Deputy of the Quarter. Deputy
Denton serves as a Field Training Officer who mentors and trains newly graduated deputies and is a
member of the CCSO Special Operations Team.
During the first quarter, Deputy Denton was one
of the highest producers in the area of traffic stops,
DUI arrests, and Criminal arrests and the highest
producer for illegal drug arrests.

for the first quarter for 2016 is Squad #3. Squad

#3 isled by Sergeant David Canning. Squad #3 has
the fewest number of personnel of any squad, yet
still had the highest daily productivity. The members of Squad #3 are Corporals Carter and Wilson,
Deputy First Class Weems, Velasquez, Esposito,
and Migliaccio; Deputies Buck, Ward, Williamson,
and Clark.
The Detention Center has launched several exciting initiatives in 2016. Naloxone education for
inmates has commenced with four certified inmates
being released thus far with the intranasal spray,
prescription and training necessary to potentially
save lives in the community. The Health Department has trained and certified 29 people through the
Detention Center this year.
The Detention Centers Jailhouse Rockers have
already started their Relay for Life campaign this
year with a staff breakfast and Wine and Design
fundraisers. The Jailhouse Rockers are poised to
make another successful attack on Cancer this
year and efforts will continue to ramp up as spring
approaches.
Supervisors nominated ten outstanding officers
for Officer of the First Quarter of 2016. The selection process was difficult and the close competition
forced a tied vote resulting in our first co-recognition of this award. We are proud to announce CFC
Caroline Briscoe and CO1 Danny Switzer as Officers of the First Quarter of 2016. Our entire staff
delivers excellent service to the community and our
agency and we are honored to recognize these two
top performers. The Team of the Quarter is Team
4 consisting of: Sgt. Scott, Cpl. Commodore, CFC
Roberts and Cook, C.O.1 Strain, Hamilton, Hernandez, Ashley, Brooks, and Zalusky. Team 4 is
being recognized for their excellent performance
statistics.

HOW DOES
A TANKLESS SPACE SAVING CALCULATION
WORK?
The obvious difference
between a tank and a
tankless is its size.
Not only will you gain
significant space, but
youll also get endless
hot water with a tankless.
Noritz tankless water
heaters last longer than
traditional tank water
heaters and are backed up
with a 12-year warranty.
STEP 5
The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream of
hot water. When the tap is
turned off, the unit shuts off.
With a tankless, you wont

be using hot water that is
stored in a tank that can
accumulate scale and rust
over time. Noritz units
allow you to set the
temperature you want.
A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft2 of

space. If 1 ft2 is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft2 x $200)
worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.
