Funding Announced for

Homeless Veterans in
Southern Maryland
Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5)

announced today that the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has awarded $44,220 to the Calvert County
Housing Authority to help find permanent
homes for homeless veterans. The grant
funding is provided through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program
(HUD-VASH)and can be used forhousing
homeless veterans in Calvert, Charles, and
St. Marys counties.
Im pleased that five additional HUDVASH vouchers have been awarded to
the Calvert County Housing Authority to
help provide permanent housing to veterans in Southern Marylands tri-county
region, stated Congressman Hoyer.
These vouchers are provided based on re-
sults from the annual Point-in-Time survey, a count of sheltered and unsheltered
homeless individuals, which I am proud to
support each year in Southern Maryland. It
is important that we do everything we can
to ensure that our brave veterans and their
families are off of the streets and in a place
they can call home. I will continue to work
in Congress to push for measures that help
get veterans the resources they need as they
transition back home and into civilian life.
Southern Maryland has received a total
of 35 vouchers since December 2014. In
addition to providing housing assistance,
the HUD-VASH program provides veterans with case management and clinical services through the Department of
VeteransAffairs.

community stature of those involved. Specially trained SOLID Deputies will contact
persons affected by drug abuse and overdoses in an attempt to provide them with
a comprehensive, detailed and necessary
outreach program. This program will assist the community with education and
training to help those involved, providing
support and guidance in their respective
situations.
Sheriff Evans believes that the SOLID
program is just one aspect of a comprehensive multifaceted strategy that includes aggressive enforcement actions against those
who distribute these substances, outreach
to those surrounding the addicted and sincere help and strong shoulders to lean on by
those addicted and in need.

Radiology Imaging Associates Among

First in Area to Perform Lower Dose
3DMammography
Radiology Imaging Associates (RIA) is
now offering the latest innovative exam
for breast cancer detection, using the low
dose Genius 3D Mammography System from Hologic. This advanced breast
tomosynthesis technology allows our radiologists to obtain the best possible images
while providing the most comfortable and
safest patient experience available. Threedimensional mammography (tomosynthesis) has proven beneficial to patient outcomes with both increased cancer detection
and a reduction in the need for call-backs.
The additional benefits of the low dose
technology include a reduction in the scan
time (up to 60%) and about a 40% reduction
in radiation exposure for the patient. The
use of the low dose Genius 3D Mammography is a great step forward in our
womens imaging program, says Joseph P.
Finizio, MD, Medical Director, RIA. This
new system offers unparalleled diagnostic
capabilities, a more comfortable exam and

ultimately greater peace of mind for our patients. The low dose 3D mammography is
our recommendation for women of all ages
and breast densities. The system allows our
radiologists to more effectively pinpoint the
size, shape and location of abnormalities
while simultaneously decreasing the number of women asked to return for additional
testing. RIAs radiologists are certified by
the American Board of Radiologists and
have experience with over 35,000 tomosynthesis studies to date. RIA offices have
been recognized by the American College
of Radiology (ACR) with the designation
as Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence
for our comprehensive womens imaging
programs which includes lower dose 3D
mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy,
ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsy,and
breast MRI and breast MRI-guided biopsy.

In cooperation with the Calvert Alliance
Against Substance Abuse (CAASA), the
Calvert County Health Department and the
Calvert Memorial Hospital, Sheriff Mike
Evans announces the deployment of a new
initiative to help combat prescription opioid and heroin abuse within our community. The Sheriffs Outreach to Loved Ones
In Distress (SOLID) program is designed to
provide face to face outreach to families,
friends and significant persons affected by
those addicted to prescription opioids and
heroin. Sheriff Evans and the men and
women of the Calvert County Sheriffs Office, recognize the devastation caused by
this addiction and strive daily to combat
the harmful effects touching all parts of
our community. Drug abuse causes damage regardless of demographics, wealth, or

Free National Trails Day Events

on the Captain John Smith
Chesapeake National Historic Trail
The National Park Service Chesapeake
Bay office and Chesapeake Conservancy
are pleased to support events along the
Captain John Smith Chesapeake National
Historic Trail on National Trails Day and
Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week.
Each year, on the first Saturday in June,
the American Hiking Society celebrates
trails in America and encourages people
to experience the great outdoors on trails
with friends and family. Events are sponsored by local organizations, state parks,
and national trails. These events are family-friendly, and provide excellent introductions to anyone who might like to try a fun
new trail activity.
John Smith Chesapeake Trail staff and
the Chesapeake Conservancy are supporting six events at partner sites in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Most events
are guided trips on the water, and some
are hiking and biking activities. Some of
the paddling trips are provided at no cost
to participants, honoring the National Park
Service Centennial goal to help create and
connect with the next generation of park
visitors and supporters.
National Trails Day is a great way to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors,Joel
Dunn, president and CEO of Chesapeake
Conservancy, said.The John Smith Chesapeake Trail provides an opportunity to
connect with the natural beauty as well as
the rich history and culture of the Chesapeake. When people visit places along the
trail, they fall in love with the Chesapeake
and they want to protect it. Our hope is that
they will then vote for it, donate money to
conserve it, and even dedicate their careers
to it.

Calvert Library Service Spotlights

By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
Student Library Card
Thanks to a partnership between Calvert
County Public Schools and Calvert Library, students now have access to Calvert
library through student library cards. Students can check out up to five print materials and download resources such as books
as eReaders.
Each student can access the librarys
digital resources online through his or
her unique identifier and a password, said
Jennifer Sturge, a technology integration
teacher specialist at Calvert County Public
Schools.
No physical cards will be produced for
student accounts. When students go to the
physical library, they provide their unique
identifier and then will be asked for their
birthday or address or another way to ensure the patron is the student, said Sturge.
With a regular card, cardholders can
check out as many as 75 items. However,
student cardholders can check out up to
five print materials only. Unlike the regular
card, there will be no fines associated with
student accounts. Items must be returned as
they normally would.
As summer approaches, this program is
designed to encourage summer reading and
give students an extra push to rejuvenate
learning through books. Call it the summer slide or summer slump, students who
keep learning over the summer are much
more likely to be ready for school when it
reconvenes.
Future Ready, thats what this is
all about, said Calvert County Public
Schools superintendent Daniel Curry.

Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a
week. Whether the school door is open or
closed, our children will be able to research
and collaborate.
If a student already has a library card,
the student card acts as an additional card,
or the child can choose to use only the student card or opt out the student card. A parent or guardian may have his or her name
added to the student account.
Fine Forgiveness Week
If you have avoided the library because
you have a charge on your account, now
is your chance to start the summer with a
clean slate. Stop by any Calvert Library location from June 6 to 11, and ask to have
your account cleared of fines and lost item
charges.If you happen tohaveany of those
lost items, the library would love to have
them back. Bring them back, and the library will get rid of the old charges.
Lynda.com is Available to All Library
Cardholders
With your local library card, you can access the online education site Lynda.com
for free. Lynda.com offers courses in business, software, technology and other creative and technical fields. With a monthly
fee of $25, members have access to a pool
of online tutoring courses taught by industry experts.
If you have a library card with Calvert,
Charles or St. Marys library, you can log
in using your library card number and pin.

Calvert Teachers Seek Move

toSt. Marys
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Education officials in Calvert County
say they are worried that some of their best
and most experienced teachers are being
lost to neighboring St. Marys County over
dissatisfaction with their pay schedules.
Teachers in Calvert have long complained of a lack of step increases in their
salaries, which have fallen behind over the
last several budget cycles.
The problem is that we are several steps
behind, said Dennis Mooney, head of the
Calvert teachers union, adding that teachers here looked at the budget process in
St. Marys were elected leaders recently
agreed to bring teachers up to full salaries
that they had been promised.
St. Marys was willing to bring them up
to full salary, Mooney said of the compelling reason behind so many Calvert personnel seeking interviews in St. Marys in
recent months.
Another problem for Calvert teachers,
Mooney said, was one of how much their
years of teaching experience counted towards where they fell in the organizations
pay scale.
Currently, the school system caps the
amount of experience that counts towards
pay scale placement at just five years.
Mooney said that meant that a teacher
with 10 years experience could expect to
come into the Calvert school system at only
step No. 5 on the pay scale, essentially five
CONVERT
YOUR
steps behind where they could expect to be

placed in neighboring St. Marys.
Mooney said his union was not certain
exactly how many teachers from Calvert
were seeking employment in St. Marys or
possibly in Charles County but the school
system had already lost 46 teachers to
neighboring jurisdictions last year as a result of dissatisfaction with pay.
It is significant, Mooney said of the
number looking to leave this year. This
year is probably close to last year.
Were losing our most valuable teachers; its a large exodus at this time.
Kelly McConkey, member of the Calvert County Board of Education, said there
was a step increase for teachers built into
the fiscal 2017 budget but it wasnt enough
to persuade teachers to give Calvert more
time to find a solution.
The step increase programmed for this
coming fiscal year costs about $2.7 to
$3 million, McConkey told The County
Times.
He said that Calvert teachers had been
told in past years that money would be
found to make their pay whole after budgets
had been passed and it never happened.
They have every reason to not believe
us, McConkey said. They dont feel appreciated, but they are appreciated.

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.

CHARLES SERABIAN, DEVOTED PROTECTOR

OF THE AMERICAN FLAG
You no doubt have observed the large

American Flag on the tall flagpole along
the north side of Routes 2/4 just north of
Solomons. Are you aware of the special
significance of the place-ment of this great
American symbol? This flag is known as
Charleys Flag in honor of Charles Serabian who devoted his life to his country,
his county, his community, his friends, and
even people he didnt know, but knew of
their need. Charley loved his god and loved
his American Flag. Among his many civic
feats, his greatest interest was in seeing
this symbol was protected from those who
would desecrate it for whatever reason. He
had a long history of lobbying Congress to
pass a law protecting it from such unpatriotic actions and could always be found in
the gallery of the House of Representatives
each and every time the legislature brought
a Bill to protect the Flag before the full
House. Unfortunately, Charley never saw
his dream come true before he passed in
2000.
Charley was a truly special person who
continually gave of himself. Even in death
he continues to provide support for others
through large financial gifts he bequeathed
to the American Legion, his parish at Our
Lady Star of the Sea in Solomons, and his
Brother Knights with the Knights of Columbus Council 9258 where the Knights
provide a Scholarship Fund in his honor
that supports four college students a year.
A Navy veteran of World War II, he was
described as a war hero during the many
eulogies given during his funeral service.
He never spoke of his war time experience
and seldom talked of his military service.
Following the end of the War, he took
advantage of the new GI Bill afforded the
veterans and earned a Business Degree
from the University of Maryland. He later
opened a restaurant in College Park and
successfully managed this popular enterprise for more than twenty years. He sold
his business in the 70s and moved to a
waterfront home in Solomons and totally
immersed himself in community affairs.
He became very active with the Arick Lore
American Legion Post 274 in Lusby. He
went on to serve in many roles at the State
level. This flag pole and its flag was erected
by the Legion in his honor and continues
to be maintained by the members the Post.
Additionally, Charley was one of the
originators of the Boy State Program in
Maryland, a week long summer national
leadership event that hosts young, bright
high school juniors in an intense civics
course in National and State government.
Held at various college campuses such as
Washington College on the Eastern Shore
and the Naval Academy in Annapolis each
summer, this training has produced many
future legislators. President Bill Clinton is
a graduate of Boys State in Arkansas during his youth. Charley served as member
of the staff for the Maryland event for many
years.
Charley served in every leadership and
management position including Calvert
County Commander for the three Posts
within the County. While serving as the
Lusby Post Commander, he initiated the
American Red Cross bi monthly Bloodmobile visits at the Post, reported to be the
first time this type of assistance was attempted in Southern Maryland. Now, after 35 years, these efforts continue to be a
valuable aid and meet critical health needs
for the citizens of the local area. Additionally, he was instrumental in supporting
the County American Legion Babe Ruth

Baseball program, the Annual American
Legion Oratorical Contest for high school
students, and many programs that support
and serve the needy. In particular, the National Childrens Medical Center, better
known as Childrens Hospital in Washington was one of his favorite charities. He
was often observed pulling out his checkbook or opening his wallet to help a person
less fortunate than himself. For his huge
heart, his many volunteer achievements,
and the great willingness to give of himself
to others, Charley was named by Governor
Parris Glendening as the Maryland Most
Beautiful Person of the Year in 1996.
Finally, each July 4th, Charley opened his
home for a large party of friends and neighbors to celebrate our Countrys birthday.
He provided all the food and beverage and
live music and always attracted more than
200 people to this popular annual event. It
was this great public display of his generosity and friendship that people remember
most about this beloved man. He always
looked forward to this gathering and always had the most fun and enjoyment of all
those in attendance!
He was a great friend to all and his still
greatly missed by those of us who knew
him. His funeral was one of the largest held at Our Lady Star of the Sea. The
church was unable to accommodate the
number of friends who came from all over
to be a part of this celebration of his life.

Southern Marylander You Should Know

Busses were provided to take many of the

attendees to his burial at Gate of Heaven
Cemetery in Silver Spring. His funeral
procession passed his flagpole where the
entire Patuxent High Schools NJROTC
Unit stood at attention and rendered honors
as his hearse passed. Charley would have
loved this scene for it had the two things
he cherished the most, his Flag and our
youth. I remember this scene vividly as we
followed in our car behind the buses. Our
car radio surprisingly was playing I Am
Proud To Be An American by Lee Greenwood at that exact moment!!! Honestly it
did happen as I described it!
In summary, Charles Serabian was a
Patriot, a Veteran, a Legionnaire, a Brother Knight of Columbus, but most of all a
friend to all. He would be especially proud
to know his wealth and his legacy will live
on to provide long term support
for deserving young people who
wish to better their own lives.
Maybe the next time you pass
this flag pole with its beautiful
red, white, and blue banner with
its 50 stars flying majestically
with the breeze, you might remember this great American and
all of the great American values
and character traits he exhibited
throughout his life. I raise a salute each time I pass this great
tribute to my friend Charley.

Calvert Commissioners Raise

Tax Rates First Time in More
Than a Decade
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
For the first time in 13 years, Calverts local income

tax will rise from 2.8 percent to 3 percent. The new
tax rate wont kick in until Jan. 1, 2017, meaning residents 2016 tax return will not be affected. The property
tax will go up from .892 to .952 per $100 of assessed
value. The property tax increase will take effect on
July 1, 2016, the beginning of the 2017 fiscal year. Until Tuesday, the property tax hasnt changed for nearly
threedecades.
The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) presented the tax increase proposal in
April. On Tuesday, the board passed the budget to raise
taxes to fill the $8.8 million budget gap. Commissioner
Mike Hart and Steven Weems voted against the proposed budget and the other three commissioners, Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Tom Hejl and Pat Nutter, voted for it.
Governmental statistics show that Calverts median
household income is about $95,000. After the tax increase, an average family will see their income tax go
up $190 a year, roughly $16 per month. For a house valued at $320,000 - the average price of a single-family
home, homeowners will see their property tax increase
$192 a year. When combined, an average family pays
nearly $400 more taxes annually after the hike.
Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt cited a
prolonged national economic slowdown and the states
reduction of funding as major causes for the budget

deficit. The cut from the state on highway and teachers pensions is about $10 million a year, previously absorbed by the fund balance. The much anticipated tax
revenue from Dominion Cove Point LNG (Liquefied
Natural Gas) liquefaction project wont kick in until the
2018 fiscal year.
The Calvert County Republican Central Committee
expressed their strong opposition to the tax increase before the Tuesday vote. In an open letter published on
Facebook on June 2, the central committee called the
tax hike a result of poor planning, judgment, stewardship, and irresponsible behavior on the part of the
BOCC. The letter went on to say that decreasing student enrollment showed young families are not arriving at Calvert County at the rates we have seen in
the past. According to Calvert County Public Schools
and the Board of Education, full-time student enrollment dropped from 16,373 in 2010 to 15,569 in 2015.
Moreover, the central committee argued as more baby
boomers retire and pay less income taxes, our tax base
will continue to shrink. The central committee said
they had not received satisfactory answers to their questions regarding the steps the commissioners planned to
take to prevent future tax hikes.
Two days before the official vote, eight elected central

committee members unanimously voted to
sent out robo calls to ask all Republicans
in Calvert County to contact county commissioners and demand they vote no on the
tax increases and focus more on economic
development in the county.
Commissioner Nutter responded to the
central committees critical letter during
the public meeting Tuesday. Nutter called
the eight members of the central committee
the gang of eight and said he is a Republican, but he serves people of every race,
creed and color. He said that he would not
be bullied or intimidated and would not
get into a Facebookwar.
Commenting on the heated discussions
sparked from the central committees open
letter on Facebook, Hejl said he found disparaging comments about governmental
employees on social media disgusting.
Hejl also considered some commentators

un-informed. He said someone suggested
selling the Patuxent Business Park, to
which his response was we dont own the
park. Id like to sell Mikes business, but I
dont own it.
Slaughenhoupt added in his comment
that the county had to make the hard choice
between quality of life and raising taxes.
I am as committed to limited government
as they come, yet I believe a tax increase
is needed to maintain the character of our
county, he said.
Commissioner Mike Hart opposed tax
increase from the very beginning and said
he did not want 94,000 Calvert citizens
paying for individual things. Although
not being able to find $10 million to cut in
the budget, Hart said he would not spend
our childrens future and do not advocate
Some people say I dont have kids in school, so why should I pay
any taxes [to support the school system]? But you do have kids
in school. They may not be your biological kids. But they are your
future. Commissioner Pat Nutter

living above our means.

The other commissioner on the board
who opposed the tax hike was Steven
Weems. He said he just would prefer to wait
another year.
The budget passed Tuesday shows that
nearly 40 percent of the fund would go to
the public school system. Another 40 percent would fund the county government.
In a public hearing in May, the Director
of Finance and Budget Tim Hayden presented that the tax increase will generate
enough money for the county to balance its
budget without dipping into the fund balance for the fourth year. The fund balance
is the countys emergency or rainy-day
fund. If the county chooses to withdraw
fund from it to make up for the budget gap
for the 2017 fiscal year, the fund balance
would become dangerously low less than
I am as committed to limited government as they come, yet I

believe a tax increase is needed to maintain the character of our
county. Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt
13
$4 million. The board chose not do tap into

the fund balance this year to protect the
countys triple A bond rating, which allows
the county to borrow at a low interest rate.
Nearly half of the countys revenue
comes from real property tax. Income tax
contributes to a quarter of the revenue. The
property and income tax simply didnt grow
fast enough to make up the loss of funding
from the state. Compared with 2014, property tax slightly dropped while income tax
increased only $4 million in 2015.
An income tax of 3 percent would put
Calvert in line with St. Marys and Charles
counties. It places Calvert the 12th highest
among 23 counties and Baltimore city in
the state.
I had a saying when I was a trooper. That saying was: do the right
thing when no one is looking. I now have a new saying: do the right
thing whether it costs you an election or not. And I firmly believe that.
I took this job and I do the right thing. I dont worry about being reelected. Commissioner Tom Hejl

passion for the beauty and the complexity
of the natural world. She says, Everything
about pottery is magical from the hypnotic spin of the potters wheel, to the transformation of a shapeless lump to a graceful
shape, to the mystery of colors appearing
in the heat of the kiln. Marie and Randy
Estabrook are a married couple sharing
the same passion for clay. This is our creative outlet- Randy and I make beautiful
ceramic art that reflects the designs and
patterns of the natural world, said Marie.

Maryland Department of Transportation

Seeking Public Comment on the Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program
Program Provides a Look at FederallyFunded State Transportation Projects
To ensure all Marylanders have a voice
in transportation projects throughout the
state, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is inviting the public
to comment on the Draft Fiscal Year 2017
Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program. Marylands Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is
a four-year, fiscally constrained, and prioritized set of transportation projects that
is compiled from state, local, and regional
plans. The STIP is the formal process of
requesting federal funding for the projects
in the legislatively approved six-year transportation budget known as the Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP). These
projects were first presented to the public
for comment in fall 2015 as part of the CTP
tour to Marylands 23 counties and to Baltimore City.
It is vital for people from every corner
of the state to have a voice, said Secretary
Pete K. Rahn. Through this effort, all
Marylanders will have input in developing
and delivering a better transportation network across the state.
The STIP is Marylands federally-required program that compiles all of the
regional metropolitan Transportation Improvement Programs with State non-metropolitan projects to provide one comprehen-
sive list of local and regional priority projects. These projects lists are developed using the 2035 Maryland Transportation Plan
(MTP) as a guide. The MTP is a 20-year
vision for transportation in Maryland that
outlines the states transportation goals,
policies and priorities and helps guide
statewide investment decisions across all
modes of transportation.
STIP projects are selected through an
annual development process. The Maryland STIP is financially constrained by the
revenues reasonably expected to be available through the STIPs four-year funding
period. Maryland is federally required to
update the STIP every four years. However, MDOT develops a new STIP closer to
every two years and solicits comments in
accordance with federal law. The STIP was
last updated in 2014.
MDOTs Draft STIP can be viewed
at
mdot.maryland.gov/Draft_FY2017_
STIP. The public may comment in writing
through July 5 by email to:mdotplanning@
mdot.state.md.usor mail to STIP
Comments Office of Planning & Capital
Programming, Maryland Department of
Transportation, 7201 Corporate Center
Drive, Hanover, Maryland 21076.This is
the final phase of public comments on the
STIP before the Final FY 2017 STIP is submitted to the US Department of Transportation for approval.
