book that summarizes the charrette outcome, including public input. In other news, Division of Emergency Management Director Bobby Fenwick gave a short presentation to the commissioners outlining a proposed updated Emergency Operation Plan. The existing plan was last updated in 2004, he said. The commissioners voted to give the emergency management division the authority to take the updated plan to a public hearing to get community comments. The plan outlines how the County will prepare for, respond to, and begin recovering from a major emergency or disaster that might take place in the County. It is an all Hazards Plan which means it is used to respond to any major emergency or disaster, including storms, flood, earthquake, industrial accidents, terrorism or hazardous materials incident. To accomplish the plan assigns roles and responsibilities to county departments, agencies and offices as well as state and public partners that play a role in the countys plan.

Two work sessions during the Aug. 27 Board of County Commissioners meeting showed changes on the horizon for the county. Craig Lewis with The Lawrence Group and Jenny Plummer Welker with the Department of Community Planning and Building brought the county commissioners up to speed on. In addition to the commissioners, members of the public, county employees and planning commission members, came to hear the update. Following a five-day charette during the week of June 10 through 14, an 11-member consulting project team from The Lawrence Group and Fuss and ONeil, in conjunction with County staff, worked to create a vision for Prince Frederick that encompassed all aspects of life in the county. Members of the public were invited to come to St. Pauls Church every evening to see what work had been done and voice their opinion about proposed plans. The final vision is a more pedestrian friendly Prince Frederick, with open spaces designed for community gatherings and residential infill. sarahmiller@countytimes.net Its long range, said Photo by Sarah Miller commissioner Susan Shaw, in favor of the plans.

Calvert County to Prince Frederick Shopping Hold Household Center Scheduled for Overhaul Hazardous Waste Collection Day
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer The Calvert Village Marketplace in Prince Frederick will soon see drastic changes as ECHO Reality takes control of the property, having purchased it on Dec. 31, 2012. The shopping center already has a strong east end presence with Safeway, but the west end is weak, with a breezeway meant to lead to the movie theater that ended up being wasted space, according to ECHO Reality Senior Vice President Howard Biel. The shopping center redesign will feature a TJ Maxx as the new anchor store on the west end, in addition to smaller specialty shops. If all goes according to plan, Biel anticipates demolition will begin in December or January, with new store opening in the summer. With the new construction, the whole shopping center will be renovated on the outside, Biel said, including new paint and cleaning facades. The work will make a strong shopping center in a place that is now a mixed blessing, Biel said. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

COUNTY NEWS United Way Of Calvert Countys Golf Classic Raises 10k In A Day
Thursday, August 29, 2013
United Way of Calvert Countys official fundraising campaign season doesnt kick off until September, but the organizations second annual Golf Classic at Twin Shields Golf Club on August 19 got the ball rolling by netting over $10,000 for its Community Impact Fund. Local businesses SMECO, PNC Bank, Constellation Energy Nuclear Group and King Electric made a strong showing of community support as major event sponsors. To put this fundraising achievement into perspective, United Way President & CE0 Kelly Chambers breaks it down. Ten thousand dollars awarded through our Education Impact Grants annually amounts to 20 underserved middle school youth equipped with the knowledge and skills to prepare for college, 8 abused children receiving intensive therapy to overcome their trauma, and 3 at-risk families empowered to be their childs best teacher through weekly literacy instruction with their children. The fact that we can change the lives of more than 30 people with a lively round of golf is just one of the reasons our Golf Classic is so important, says Chambers. The United Way of Calvert County (UWCC)Golf Classic kicked off with a rousing speech and tribute to sponsors from event chair and United Way board chair Tom Hejl. Hejl and fellow committee members Chris Moore of ReMax One, Clif Bridegum of Your Digital Salesman, Jenny Barrett of M&T Bank, Beverly Brown of Hilton Garden Inn, and Karen Shields Keen of Twin Shields Golf Club, helped to secure 32 sponsorships from generous local businesses and 18 teams. In its sophomore year the UWCC Golf Classic gave
golfers a healthy start to the days activities with a breakfast of fresh fruit and homemade treats courtesy of Hilton Garden Inn followed by a power bar from interactive sponsor S.J. Johnson Propane & Fuel. The event brought a few surprises too, not the least of which was a giant blow up cow, which when struck by the golf ball resulted in free sandwiches for a year from Chick Fil A in Edgewater. SMECO Board Member, Danny Dyer, and United Way Board Member, Steve Jones, struck sandwich gold when they hit the cow with just one swing of the club. Throughout the course were other chances to win great prizes like gift certificates from Sneades Ace Hardware, Solomons Island Tiki Bar, Twin Shields Pro Shop and the definitive gold pot at the end of the rainbowa new Toyota Camry from Bayside Auto Group for a hole in one, which one golfer missed by a mere 20 inches. After a summer barbeque lunch from Maryland Country Caterers, participants tried their luck at door prizes and competed in a live auction for a Solomons Getaway package from Hilton Garden Inn and a signature massage from Jacqueline Morgan Day Spa. Afterwards, special recognition and prizes were awarded to this years team winners: Community Bank of Tri-County in first place, King Electric featuring Huntingtown High Schools varsity golf team in second place, and Scott Hills team in
third place. The applause continued for winners Tom Hejl for mens long drive, Megan Baburek for ladies long drive, Cameron Sydnor for mens closest to the pin, Renee Canon for ladies closest to the pin and Chris Moore for the putting contest. Hejl concluded the day with a post on United Ways Facebook page, The Golf Classic was a huge success- the weather was great and everyone that participated said they had a great time.

Owners David Napierskie and Sandy Stallings are looking to bring a new taste in cuisine to Solomons. Napierskie had described the menu as seafood with an Italian influence. With Stallings passion for food, being in the industry for over 30 years, it is guaranteed that everything at The Striped Rock is local and fresh. New food is brought in every other day, Stallings said, adding that they very rarely use the freezers. Food is my passion, said Stallings, Its important to give back to whats given to us. The Striped Rock gets its produce from local vendors such as Chesapeakes Bounty and Nicks Seafood as well as others in the area. Prices range from $7 to about $25, and the specials, which are served during the weekends, are based on what is fresh, available and in season according to Stallings. The Striped Rock also has a completely different look from the buildings previous ownership. Napierskie said that theyve added a bigger kitchen. Youd never recognize it, he said. Weve completely gutted the downstairs, Stallings added. While the upstairs part of the building still has the bar, due to its importance to the community, theyve moved things around and added new features, giving the space a more classy and upscale feel to it, according to Stallings. We wanted something more clean and modern she said. Weve created a casual atmosphere with quality service. The community has been very supportive of us Napierskie said, even local competition. Stallings added that theyve received a phenomenal reception, especially with the new addition of breakfast seven days a week, which theyve added. At The Striped Rock, customers will receive fresh, quality food with little to no fried products. For a casual dining experience, the downstairs area is hospitable and modern according to Napierskie, while the upstairs can serve as a more quiet and relaxed sort of date night he said. Stallings said that a baby grand piano will be moved to the upstairs in the near future and a musician will be playing several times per week as well. The Striped Rock is open Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at 14470 Solomons Island, in Solomons.

Help us. plan events for the year! revamp our teen section! amp up our social media! ...and more! Join us for our premier kickoff event!
By Sarah Miller Staff Writer Calvert Library is looking for help from teens countywide to help make the library an awesome place for students of all ages to hang out. I wish more kids thought it was cool to come here, said longtime member Maddie Buckley, a senior at Northern High School. Buckley joined T.A.C.O.S. in her freshman year, along with several friends, many of whom have already graduated or are current seniors. Her goal is to encourage younger teens to join the advisory group and keep it going. Huntingtown High School junior Camden Raines joined the group last year and enjoyed the experience so much she came back for another year. During her first year in T.A.C.O.S., Raines was involved in a cakepop war and played the role of a zombie during the first ever Zombie Apocalypse in November 2012. T.A.C.O.S. started in 2002 with funds from the Cigarette Restitution Fund Program, according to library spokesperson Robyn Truslow. At first, they were pulling groups of teens together to ask what they through the library needed. In 2006 students decided they needed a formal group and formed T.A.C.O.S., Truslow said. Some of the first events the teens planned were movie nights, she said, a tradition continued through the years. One movie night planned this year is an interactive screening of The Avengers, according to group adviser Tiffany Sutherland. This year is Sutherlands first with the group after volunteering to work with them. Every library employee leads a group or two, Sutherland said, and she chose to work with T.A.C.O.S. because she enjoys working with teens. The start of a new school year means the start of a new season for T.A.C.O.S. the teen advisory council of students. Students ages 13 through 19 are invited to join T.A.C.O.S. to help plan events, amp up the libraries social media presence and revamp the Teen Zone. T.A.C.O.S.s first meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick. For more information call Sutherland at 410-535-0291 or e-mail tsutherland@somd.lib.md.us. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

parents to check their students grades and homework assignments more efficiently, middle and high school students will be using turnitin.com to submit their essays and the lower school students will each get a personal iPad through the brand new 1:1 iPad program. Calverton expanded the technology budget by 200 percent for the current school year, Taintor said. In coming years, all elementary school and middle school students will receive iPads, made available through a lease agreement with Apple and at no cost to the parents. Upper school students are already required to bring a tablet or laptop to school, he said. Because upper school students have more specific needs for their classes, such as art or finance, they will continue to bring their own devices, Taintor said. Making technology available to students at a young age makes them more comfortable as they grow up, learning to annotate and work with digital books alone. In addition to the technological programs, Taintor said the schools new turf field is nearly complete and will open in September, after being delayed due to rain earlier in the summer. He encouraged new families to come talk to him is they ever have questions of concerns. My office is open to each and every one of you, Taintor said. Patrick Shomo visited Calverton with his daughter, one of Calvertons brand new kindergarten students. Calverton has the perfect mix of larger school amenities and small town, small school feel, he said, adding the staff has been helpful during their transition into Calverton and he is excited to join the Calverton community. sarahmiller@countytimes.net

Cousineaux-Stone considers her customers family, as do many employees. They memorize favorite drink and food orders and keep up lively conversations, contributing to the relaxed atmosphere that keeps customers coming back, Cousineaux-Stone said. During football season she, a Saints fan, is always outnumbered by Redskins fans. Her favorite way of keeping customer, and coworker, razzing in check is to threaten to cut off their beer supply. Even during the most raucous event she maintains a measure of organization, making for some controlled chaos but never complete breakdowns. Continuing the family-like atmosphere, Cousineaux-Stone calls her employees her kids. In return, several employees jokingly call her mama. She recently hosted a baby shower for one of her longtime employees, who, now 35, started working at Stoneys when she was 18. Her employees know to pick up the slack when they need to, and CousineauxStone can be found behind the bar and waiting tables along with the most junior of her employees. Im not a desk person, she said. She prefers to work with and around people.
Some of her longtime employees have become integral parts of the business. Banquet Manager Crystal Bowen and Solomons Pier General Manager Katie York have both been with Stoneys for 10 years. Between connections forged between regular customers and longtime employees, Stoneys is an example of social networking in person, York said. Kingfishers Owner and General Manager Eric Faughnan began working with Stoneys when he was 18, as a job during vacations from college. When he graduated, Cousineaux-Stone and her husband offered him a chance to help operate the business, and he jumped at the opportunity. Most 23 year olds dont have the opportunity to run a multi million dollar business, he said. To not take the opportunity would be crazy. Offering longtime employees a chance to take ownership of the business is a reward Cousineaux-Stone feels inspires the dedication needed to continue Stoneys success.

By Kimberly Alston Contributing Writer Approximately eight years ago Jeff Yeager was introduced to the world and dubbed The Ultimate Cheapskate by Matt Lauer on the Today Show. Yeager is a writer who has dedicated his time to writing lifestyle books that focus on improving your life if youre willing to spend less, he said. Yeager believes that, for most Americans, the quality of life would improve if they would spend less. He lives by the motto money is time explaining that money is made by selling time in exchange for it, therefore; the less money that is spent, the more time will be had. Yeager has concluded that most Americans have regrets about approximately 80 percent of the products they buy. Going by this logic, if people were more selfaware of how the products they purchase now could affect them later, they could save money be happier by not buying them. Yeager argues that, north of the poverty line; there is no social science that money does not create happiness because they have little to no correlation. Cheapskates, he said, value time more than money. Back when Yeager was younger, he said that spending money was kind of a last resort. Because his parents were children during the depression, Yeager remembers that, we didnt have a lot, but we always seemed to have enough. Going off of that logic, Yeager challenges himself and others to ask the question of themselves of what would enough money and enough time look like, for you? Once that question is answered, Yeager said, that is the amount of money that they need to spend. Applying the same principle to his personal life, Yeager said, I may not be rich, but I have enough

do this you are going to have a better life that you do right now. Jeff Yeager will be giving a lecture on Frugal Living at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick on September 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. His books, including The Ultimate Cheapskate Roadmap to True Riches will be available as well. Yeager participates in a weekly show on YouTube called The Cheap Life with Jeff Yeager as well. For more information, visit www.ultimatecheapskate.com. kimberlyalston@countytimes.net

Founded in 1925, the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory has long been a national leader in fisheries, environmental chemistry and toxicology, ecosystem science and restoration ecology. Located where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay, CBL is home to approximately 120 scientists, graduate students and staff. Over the decades, CBL has developed a national and international reputation for the quality of its research.
Research is conducted at CBL in four main areas: Fisheries, Ecology, Geochemistry and Toxicology. The fisheries group played a pivotal role in research that led to the recovery of the striped bass, and most recently the blue crab, in the Chesapeake Bay. They conduct state-of-the-art work on habitat use by fish such as tuna, sturgeon and white perch. In addition to studying the Bay, the ecology group studies ecosystems from Calvert County to the Arctic. These studies focus on understanding how

A Photographers Vision at CMH Foundation Ball
Bill has been published many times in commercial publications and websites. He was featured in the December 2012 issue of Whats Up Annapolis magazine in the article Barns of South County as well as a picture of Sunrise on Solomons Back Creek in Baltimore Magazine. His photo of the State House in Annapolis was used as background for the Maryland State tourism brochure of 2010. Bill lives in Owings, Maryland (Calvert County), with his wife Melinda and three children--William, Michael, and Marianne. He has been a teacher at Southern High School in Anne Arundel County for 20 years. Maryland, My Maryland, A Photographers Perspective, runs August 31 through September 29. An opening reception to meet the artist will be held August 31 from 1 to 5 p.m. with light refreshments. Artworks @7th is a cooperative gallery comprised of approximately 30 talented local artists since 2003. Highlights throughout the year include the Annual Small Works Show in November and December and the show to benefit CAWL in January. Solo and group shows run monthly and an opening reception is usually held on the first Saturday of every month. Regular gallery hours are Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information regarding Artworks @7th coop and our shows, see our website at www.artworks@7th.com.
Maryland my Maryland: A Photographers Vision, is a photographic exhibition that will be shown at the Artworks at 7th Gallery in North Beach, Maryland, during the month of September. The show, as its title implies, features landscapes and subjects all from the state of Maryland. William H. Thayer, known as Bill to his friends, is a professional music educator whose avocation is landscape and subject photography. Bill began his experience in photography working with a rangefinder 35mm film camera at the age of 14. He attended Frankfurt American High School in Germany and became active on the high school yearbook staff developing and printing his own black and white pictures. He credits his German photography teacher, Herr Edgar Schmidt, with inspiring his life-long love of photography. Bill attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque where he took some photography classes when his busy musical schedule allowed. Bill, now 58, has been working with digital still photography and is focusing on the unique beauty of Southern Anne Arundel County and Calvert County. As a photographer, I look at color photography in a similar fashion as my black and white photography of years ago. That is, with high contrast and impact. My aim is to draw the eye with an exciting and vibrant image. Bill Thayer

Volunteers of the Patuxent Small Craft Guild (an organization dedicated to the preservation of wooden boat building skills); at the Calvert Marine Museum recently completed work on a beautiful 14foot runabout. Work started on the runabout in November of 2012 using plans for Mustang, a runabout designed by William Jackson for the Boat Builders Handbook, a publication of Science and Mechanics Magazine in 1957. The deck layout was modified using plans from Meteor, another William Jackson design. The boat is planked with marinegrade plywood and framed with onehundred year old white oak. The vintage 12-horsepower Brookline outboard was produced by OMC for the Speigel Catalog of Chicago. The boat was built to showcase Calvert Marine Museums current exhibit, Thrills and Spills the Golden Era of Powerboat Racing in Southern Maryland and will be sold to raise funds for

Patuxents Habitat for Humanity will team up with Spencer Wait to bring the first annual Warrior Fun Run and Sail to Solomons Island on Aug. 31. Wait, the event organizer, came up with the idea to host an event day to give back to the Wounded Warrior Project in a way other than the existing GI Veterans bill program in February. As a long time sailor and runner, Wait wanted to incorporate those activities into a community event. Once the event became more large scale, he enlisted the help of Patuxents Habitat for Humanity and it grew even more. The day is composed of three events: a 5K, boat races and celebration barbeque and concert. The 5K begins at 8 a.m. at the Calvert Marine Museum. The path goes along the Patuxent River and ends at the Museum once more. The race is not timed and walkers are encouraged as well. Following the race, spectators are encouraged to stay and watch as the warrior sail boat races commence. There will be a parade of boats by the Coast Guard followed by all the boats participating in the regatta. There will also be a fly by scheduled by a local pilot. After two or three races, at 2 p.m., everyone is encouraged to
