Serving Those Who Served

By Kaitlin Davis
Contributing Writer
The Honor Flight Network serves
World War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans by providing a free trip to see their
memorials in Washington D.C. Since their
beginnings in 2005, Honor Flight has transported thousands of veterans, 125,000 in
just this year, from all over the country.
Created by Earl Morse and Jeff Miller,
Honor Flight Network was created to provide a need to WWII, Korean and Vietnam
veterans who had not yet been able to see
their memorials in D.C. Both Morse and
Miller came across veterans that desired to
see their memorials but due to cost, transportation or health issues, were unable to
go. Using their own money and planes both
pilots flew about 12 or 20 veterans total on
the first trip to help their wish become a reality at no cost to the veteran.
When asked how veterans react to seeing their memorials, Dave Nichols, board
member of Honor Flight Network, said,
Over the years, its been a mixed bag, but
for the most part, when they get off the buses at the WWII memorial, one they are just
in awe because there are so many people out
there...and there are a lot of watery eyes.
For the majority of these veterans, going to these memorials brings them closure
and reassures them that even the smallest
participation in the war made the biggest
difference. When veterans get off the buses, crowds of people, cheering and showing their appreciation for those who fought,
greet them. Many want to shake their hands
and want to learn their stories. GIs dressed
in uniform are sometimes present and the
veterans are reminded of those men who
fought alongside them that may not have
made it home.
You can see it in their eyes that they
are thinking about someone they knew during the war that didnt make it back, espe-

cially standing in front of the Wall of Gold

Stars, which represents all those who died
during the war, said Nichols.
These veterans are given this opportunity free of charge. Through the generosity of private businesses, corporations and
donations, Honor Flight is able to provide a
moving experience for veterans. They have
also paired up with Southwest Airlines and
others to provide green passes that allow
anyone to get on a plane from any place and
fly anywhere. Though there are 133 hubs
spread over 46 states, some veterans are far
from a hub, but through the green passes,
they are able to get to a hub close to them.
Veterans who travel by plane are also
able to experience a send off and welcome
home event. Its a mob scene of people,
from politicians, local media, friends, family and volunteers, waving flags, welcoming
veterans home because a lot of the veterans,
especially WWII veterans, never got a welcome home after the war... said Nichols.
Many may be thinking, Well, how do
I get involved? For those individuals, vol-
unteers are welcomed and appreciated! Volunteers are able to participate in the trips,
the send off and welcome home events and
if needed, are able to be guardians. Guardians are given to every veteran and they are
usually a family member. However, guardians do have to have to pay their own way.
In think in the long run, I just have
pride that Im part of a large group of people
who makes this possible, so theres a certain
amount of satisfaction I get from that knowing that these people are getting closure and
are getting to see the memorial before they
are gone, said Nichols.
Toward the end of September, Honor
Flight Capital Region, the local hub in D.C.,
will be hosting a trip that will leave from
the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home.

Garceau, President of the Honor Flight

Elmer Mackall recieves the Congressional Gold Medal.
The highest civilian medal for distinguished achievement is the Congressional Gold Medal. During a ceremony at
the American Legion Gray-Ray Post 220 on July 22, local community member Elmer Mackall was awarded the medal.
Local and state officials and representatives from the United States Marine Corps (USMC) came out to recognize
Mackall, one of the Montford Point Marines. In November 2011, President Barack Obama signed a bill awarding the
Congressional Gold Medal to each member of the Montford Point Marines for outstanding perseverance and courage that
inspired social change in the Marine Corps.
Mackall was drafted into the USMC during the World War II era and was stationed at Guadal Canal following bootcamp at Camp Montford Point in North Carolina. During this time, the military was segregated. African Americans were
only allowed on nearby Camp Lejeune if accompanied by a white Marine.
At the end of the war, Mackall returned to Calvert County, where he and wife Lillie Mae raised six children.

Community Discusses
Drug Use in Calvert
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Local officials, community members
and state representatives gathered at a forum
on July 18 at the Northeast Community Center to talk about the local drug problem and
what actions can be taken to combat local
drug abuse.
The evenings panelists were County
Commissioner President Pat Nutter, County
Commissioner Evan K. Slaughenhaupt, Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans, Board of
Education Members Joe Chenelly and Kelly
McConkey, Senator Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. and Delegate Mark Fisher.
Local resident and Baltimore City police detective
Greg Ostrander organized the event.
Attendees were told preventing drug use can begin
at home by disposing of old prescriptions and monitoring medications.
Each forum member took a few minutes to speak.
Miller and Fisher both told stories about relatives who
got involved in drugs. In Millers case it was a brother
whose habit cost him his wife, his family and his job.
Eventually me managed to get clean and started again
in Texas. Fisher spoke about his cousin who died from
an overdose.
Fisher talked about his efforts to require electronic
dispensers to be distributed with opiates to avoid overmedicating and expressed his dismay at the lack of action to stem the drug problems statewide. He and other
forum members were worried that the decriminalization
of marijuana will be a gateway to legalization.

Helping Local
Students
Pay for College
If you lose a loved one, its not funny, Fisher said.

Chenelly spoke about the DARE program at
schools, which was cut in the fifth grade to make space
for more instructional time. While it is still offered to
sixth graders, he said students need to have the information when they are younger. He also spoke about efforts
to provide instruction to students who need to be out of
school for treatment.
School should not be a reason to not get treatment, he said.
Members of the community spoke up about regulating and monitoring pawnshops and jewelers and buy
precious metals. One women talked about her grandson,
who stole all of her gold jewelry and sold it to buy drugs.
Evans praised local groups such a the Prescription Drug Abatement Council and the Calvert Alliance
Against Substance Abuse, which have been working to
get information into the community about drug use and
treatment options.

Graham Dersley celebrated the ribbon

cutting for his new North Beach office for his
dental office on July 18.
Dersley studied biology at the University
of Maryland and attended Columbia University for dental school.
North Beach Dental Care is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. Having extended hours offers the opportunity to better serve the community, Dersley said. People often want to come in before
of after work rather than taking time off for a
dental appointment. He decided to open his
new office, which will operate in addition to
his existing Churchton office, because there
was no existing dental office in North Beach.
Dersley wants his clients to be comfortable while having work done. The office
offers a number of amenities, including a
refreshment bar in the lobby, DirecTV in the
procedure rooms and a childrens play area.

southern part of the county at the Loffler Senior Activity Center and in the northern part of the county
at the Northern Senior Activity Center. But the
Garvey Senior Activity Center, located in St. Marys
Countys fastest growing jurisdiction, Leonardtown,
is old, small, and inadequate.
Unfortunately, the Capital Improvement Budget
shows that our county officials arent even scheduled
to start planning for the replacement of the Garvey
Senior Activity Center until FY 2018. This means
a replacement building probably wont be built until
2020, at the earliest. Those of us who utilize the
Garvey Senior Activity Center feel this is too late to
start this planning. We have set up a committee, the
Garvey Group, to persuade the St. Marys County
Commissioners to move the planning to replace the
Garvey Senior Activity Center to FY 2016. If you
would like to join us, our next meeting is Thursday,
July 31, at the Potomac Building in Room 14. If you

cant join us, we hope, no matter your age, that you
will support us by signing our petition when it is
presented to you so that we can show our commissioners that many St. Marys County citizens support
our contention that the planning for the replacement
building for the Garvey Senior Activity Center in
Leonardtown should be moved to FY 2016. Moving
the planning to FY 2016 will give seniors an opportunity to have a new, larger, more modern building
by 2018 or 2019. Whom do you know who will benefit from the activities and information provided by
a new Garvey Senior Activity Center? Think about
it and support us with your attendance or signature.
Please contact Margaret Forrest to request Petitions
for signature and to submit the Petitions to the Garvey Group. Our response deadline for the Petitions
is no later than November 22, 2014, however, we request you submit them to Mrs. Forrest, as they are
complete. Contact information is as follows. Email

COMMISSIONERS CORNER
Clarks Term Ending

By Susan Shaw
Calvert County Commissioner, District 2
Many constituents are asking me about my reaction to the recent Primary Election and also asking
me how Commissioner Jerry Clark is doing. A surprising (to me) number of people have told me that
they were surprised to find that my name was not on the ballot, despite
my having announced months ago that I would not seek re-election
and despite my continuing to mention it. Some people are angry with
me, saying that I am needed. While I sincerely appreciate the compliment, no one is indispensable.
Commissioner Clark is doing fine. He told me that he was going
to go make more money. I am sure he will! You see, he is a self-made
man. He started his career as a meat cutter/butcher for Safeway. He
saved his money and bought the old Calvert Room in Prince Frederick.
It was the ONLY late night venue in Prince Frederick and probably in
most of Calvert County for many years. He slept a few hours, then
went to work at his day job. This is not to say that he didnt have fun.
He did. He also got to know all the good old boys of Calvert County
and maintained those friendships to this day.
At various times, Commissioner Clark has owned a variety of
businesses in Calvert County. He is a natural businessman. He works
very hard to make his projects successful. Even more importantly, he
understands banking and financing in a way I never will. Nor will
anyone else on the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Oh, yes,
all the BOCC has negotiated with Wall Street. I understand pensions
and Other Post Employment Benefits, including actuarial projections,
in a way I never expected. But I can not structure a deal the way that
Commissioner Clark can. I can be a tough bargainer, which my late
husband would have been happy to verify with some funny stories.
But I do not understand real estate the way he does. I dont know complicated financial instruments the way he does. I wouldnt know when
a large corporation is fudging the books the way he does.
Commissioner Clark has a complicated personality. It took me
a LONG time to REALLY get to know him. He is friendly and congenial and a very loyal friend to his long-time friends, among whom I
hope to be able to count myself. He is not well-educated in the formal
sense, but he is extremely street-smart. We had discussed whether
either one of us was going to run again. It was not an easy decision
either way. Both of us could make a lot more money out of office, because we are both as ethical as humanly possible. Both of us love and
adore our grandchildren. He get s a new photo of his granddaughter,
Eleanor, every single day, as she lives in San Francisco, is 2 years
old and has a new sister joining her, necessitating frequent trips to the
West Coast. Both of us have other career options. The difference in
our decisions about whether or not to run came down to our sense of
responsibility. I felt that 12 years of 24/7, 365 days a year, (yes, even
on Christmas, things happen) was enough. Commissioner Clark loves
his job, but mostly, he was concerned about the new tax revenue from
the proposed Dominion Project and how it would be spent. He wanted
to make sure that money was spent wisely. Some are trying to spend
it when we do not even have it yet, nor is there any guarantee we will.
Both he and I have lived through the interminable delays in the Calvert
Cliffs third nuclear reactor, which we once thought was a done deal.
Our terms end on December 16, 2014. We have a few things we want
to accomplish between now and then. We can both leave with a great
deal of pride and satisfaction at the condition in which we will be leaving Calvert County. Hopefully, the new BOCC, whoever they are,
will have the wisdom to seek Commissioner Clarks creative counsel
regarding complicated fiscal issues. Calvert County would benefit.

Spotlight On
Making
Connections
By Emily Charles
Contributing Writer
Are you a veteran? If you are, youre
eligible to sign up for the College of Southern Marylands Making Connections: The
First Year Seminar for Veterans this fall.
Making Connections: The First Year Seminar is a class offered to all new students
at CSM, and for the first time, veterans are
being offered admission towards the end
of the fall semester, according to Dorothy
Hill.
This fall the first-year seminar is offering a section for veterans during the last
week of the Summer II session with the
thought that student-veterans would have a
good orientation to the college before starting their classes, said Integrative Learning Center Director Michelle Simpson.
The course was developed by longtime faculty members Professor Kim Donnelly and Professor Michelle Simpson.
Sections tailored for certain populations
such as returning adult students and students testing into college preparatory reading, are offered in addition to the sections
for the general population. All sections,
regardless of the population, will teach
students skills that will allow them to succeed in all their college courses. Students
will create academic plans, learn time
management skills, study skills, research
skills and speaking skills, said Hill.
The course is being offered at the CSM
Campus in La Plata, and if all goes well,
more locations may be added next year,
said Simpson. Veterans enrolled come
from all branches of service, as people
from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard and
Reserves have applied for attendance, said
CSM Veterans Affairs Coordinator Robert
Henry, who retired from the Navy after 22
years of service.
Some student veterans enrolling at
CSM retired from the service while many
served only one tour of duty; most probably fall somewhere in between, said
Henry.
While the veterans at CSM come from
all walks of life, they all have one unifying
quality: The greatest similarity among
veterans enrolling at CSM is that most of
them have not been in a traditional academic setting/classroom for many years.
The military encourages a can-do spirit
within its ranks and student veterans tend
to bring that same spirit to their academic
pursuits. If given the opportunity and resources, most will likely succeed, said
Henry.
Upon passing the class, three general
education credits are received by participants, said Simpson. All students must
meets with an advisor and register by August 8.

The Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack recently wrapped up the 18th annual Camp COPS on July 18.
During the week, students went out on the boat with the Natural Resources Police, participated in K9 unit and martial arts
demonstrations and got basic CPR training, according to Community Resource and School Safety Specialist Larry Titus, a
longtime councilor with Camp COPS (Courage to be Outstanding with Pride and Confidence). Campers went swimming at the
end of every day and went on a field trip to the Prince Frederick on July 17.
The last day of camp is normally a free day, Titus said. They hold a kickball tournament and let campers run the obstacle Troopers Jeff Gibson, left, Bruce Devard, Katie Follin, Christopher Merkel and James Barth donated their time to help at
course, and wrap up camp with an awards ceremony.
Camp COPS.
This year, the camp welcomed 120 campers, Titus said.
Camp COPS focuses on rising sixth graders, with the goal of easing the transition from elementary school to middle school, he
said.
Camp COPS staff member Katie McDonough started out as
a camper 14 years ago, and continued returning as a camper, a
helper and a staff member. She has only missed two camps, one
when her father died and one when she gave birth to her daughter.
I have no bad memories here, she said.
Campers learn that law enforcement officers are normal
people, she said. They lean about the variety of paths a career in
law enforcement can take, from working in a corrections facility
or patrolling the streets or pursuing a law degree.
Campers benefit from the camp in ways they may not see,
McDonough said. Her favorite thing is watching shy campers
come out of their shells and become leaders.
Law enforcement officers volunteer their time at the camp.
McDonough uses her one week of vacation to work at Camp
COPS.
It gives the youth of the county a breath of fresh air, she
said.
Registration for Camp COPS begins in April. For more information, visit www.mdsp.org.

STORY
Giving Horses a Second Chance

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Do you love horses? Are you thinking about adopting one? Or maybe you
want to work with horses, but you dont
have the money and space to own one?
Consider getting involved in Sophias Oasis for Equines, Inc.
S.O.F.E. was created as a result of receiving numerous requests for assistance
in re-homing, caring, training and assisting current owners with their horses. As
the economy has deteriorated, the need
for assistance has increased.
The group was incorporated in 2011,
said S.O.F.E. President Cheryl Ciccone.
Horses remain with the rescue for a minimum of six months, she said, and they
bring in potential horse adopters in while
the horse is being retrained to work with
the animal and make sure the horse will
be a good fit with its adoptive family.
Once an animal is adopted, S.O.F.E.
will provide support for the rest of its life,
Ciccone said.
Each horse is assigned to a single
trainer. The trainer is in charge of working with both the horse and the adoptive
owners.
Its a joint thing between training
horses and training people, Ciccone said.
All trainers are well versed in natural horsemanship, which teaches them to
talk to horses in their language. Horses
dont use words, Ciccone said. They use
body language. They talk through the
angle of their ears and the bend of their
neck. S.O.F.E. trainers learn to mimic
that body language using their hands and
upper body.
You have to learn how to read your
horse, said S.O.F.E. Volunteer Coordinator James Flynt.
Horses dont learn anything by force,
said S.O.F.E. Vice President Jackie Flynt.
They learn through the release of pressure and positive reinforcement. The
rescue gets horses from some horrible
situations, such as slaughterhouses horse
hoarders. Some of the horses are emo-
tionally damaged, lacking confidence and

afraid of people. Others have been abused
and starved. But no matter what challenges they must overcome, there is no such
thing as an untrainable horse.
If theres a will, theres a way and
we will find it, James Flynt said.
According to the S.O.F.E. website,
the groups purpose is to provide a program of rescue for abandoned, abused,
and otherwise neglected horses. We provide rehabilitation, natural horsemanship
education and training, placement of rescues into a safe environment, and maintain sponsorship's for those equines that
will enjoy a permanent residency within
our organization. Our goal is provide all
animals under our care with a dignified
existence, free from pain and suffering.
If and when circumstances arise (physical or medical) that no longer allow a
comfortable life, we will support humane
veterinary-assisted euthanasia.
Some horses suffer from the owners
lack of knowledge. One owner came to
S.O.F.E. because their horse was loosing weight and generally unhealthy. They
found out the owner had been feeding
the horse once per day and the feed the
owner as using was not the best. A trainer
with S.O.F.E. worked with the owner to
create a diet plan for the horse and even
purchased the right type of food to get it
stated.
Community awareness is a large part
of the groups function, Ciccone said. To
that end, they provide courses in natural
horsemanship, summer opportunities
for students and volunteer opportunities to work with horses. The group is
always looking for people to come help
groom, exercise and help out at the rescue. S.O.F.E. is currently seeking a group
to help construct a new fence.
They also need donations of money
and supplies to help care for the horses,
Ciccone said. S.O.F.E. volunteers pay for
the horses upkeep out of their own pockets when there is nothing else.
S.O.F.E. works with a rescue in Central Virginia to adopt horses and they
take in mustangs through the Bureau of

Land Management. Members of the organization have received phone calls at
midnight and on weekends from people
who need help or are trying to get rid of
a horse.
S.O.F.E. is located at 3811 Hance
Road in Port Republic. For more information, including upcoming programs

and volunteer opportunities, visit www.
sophiasoasisforequines.org or www.facebook.com/SofiasRescueMd.

Hospital Ball Moving to

Exciting New Venue
The 26th Annual Calvert
Memorial Hospital Foundation
Harvest Ball is moving to a new
venue and will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Baltimore
Marriott Waterfront Hotel. The
theme this year, Imagine, envisions a future full of promise
and celebrates the remarkable
transformation that has taken
place at CMH during the 27-year
tenure of President and CEO Jim
Xinis.
The ball has always been
a special evening for me, said
Xinis, who is serving as honorary chair, but will be even
more so this year since Im planning my retirement in 2015.
He is joined by Cindy Parlett
and Mickie Frazer as event cochairs. Both women are members of the Harvest Ball Committee and serve on the CMH
Foundation Board of Trustees.
Xinis went on to add, We
think this years event will be
bigger and better than ever. Im
confident our diligent planning
committee will deliver an unforgettable evening.
The annual charity gala is
the single most significant and
successful fundraising event
for the hospital. Since it began
25 years ago, the ball has raised
over $1.4 million for medical
technology and equipment at
CMH.
This summer, an $11.9 million renovation and expansion of
the diagnostic imaging department is slated to get underway.
Proceeds from this years ball
will help purchase state-of-the- The 26th Annual Calvert Memorial Hospital Foundation Harvest Ball is moving to a new

outstanding clarity at lower doses in less time, which results in
faster and more definite diagnoses.
We think our guests will enjoy the chic, sophisticated atmosphere afforded by the elegant venue selected for this years ball, said Parlett. For the past five years, it had been held at the Show Place Arena. It
was time to re-energize.
Invitations will be mailed as reminders but are not required to attend. The ball is open to the community and anyone is welcome to attend. The cost is $500 per couple and $250 per person which includes a
cocktail reception and open bar in addition to a sit-down dinner and dancing to a live band.
Plan to make a night of it and take advantage of the reduced pricing offered for early room reservations.
Guests have a choice of a standard room with a king size bed or two double beds at $149 plus tax or you may
add the breakfast buffet for two in Apropoes Restaurant for $184 plus tax.
You may purchase tickets and book your overnight stay online at www.calverthospital.org or by calling
the Foundation at 410-414-4570. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are accepted. Upon purchasing
tickets, your names will be added to a guest list. No tickets are mailed.
In addition to the dinner and dancing, the gala also features a silent auction where guests can bid on
an impressive collection of items from sports tickets to artwork. Dickinson Jewelers, a longtime hospital
supporter, is once again sponsoring the jewelry raffle where one lucky winner will take home an exquisite
piece from the stunning selection offered.
The Harvest Ball committee is actively seeking local businesses that are interested in helping to sponsor the ball. Sponsorships play a vital role in achieving our overall fundraising goal, said Miller. They
also offer a phenomenal opportunity to showcase your business while supporting a worthy cause. A choice
of seven packages is offered that include reserved seating, special recognition and inclusion in ads and on
the hospital website.

Alternatives to Pesticides
Pests can be a nuisance. Whether
they're scampering about the yard while
you try to entertain guests or invading your
home's interior when the weather outside
pushes them indoors, pests are almost always unwelcome guests.
Many homeowners address pest problems with pesticides. But the Environmental Protection Agency notes that there are
other ways for homeowners to control pest
problems around their homes. Though
sometimes pesticides prove the only way to
effectively eradicate pest problems, the following are some more eco-friendly alternatives homeowners can try before opting for
pesticides.
Cut off food sources. One of the primary reasons pests infiltrate a home is to
get food. Homeowners who don't create
opportunities for pests to eat might be able
to prevent infestations without the need for
pesticides. When storing items in a pantry,
make sure all boxes and bags are tightly
sealed. Many pests can easily access food
sources stored in cardboard boxes, so
homeowners with roach or ant infestations
might want to consider storing cereal, sugar and flour in sealable plastic containers
that such pests cannot penetrate.
Keep a tidy house. Pests do not only
access food sources stored in the pantry. A
dirty house is also very inviting to pests,
who can feast on crumbs left behind on
floors and tables. Don't leave crumbs lying around on tables or countertops, as
such scraps might not seem like a meal
to you but will serve as a great source of
food for hungry pests. Sweep and mop
kitchen floors to remove any traces of food
that might have fallen on the ground while
you were cooking, and be sure to vacuum
around the table where you and your family
eat dinner night.
Don't be sunk by your sink. A dirty
sink is another attraction pests can't resist.
If your sink does not come equipped with
a garbage disposal, install a food trap on
the drain so food is not washing down the
drain, where it can stick to the side of the
pipe and attract pests. Dirty dishes should
be cleaned immediately as well. If allowed
to sit in the sink for hours or overnight,
dirty dishes will attract hungry pests, so
clean the dishes and then give your sink a
quick cleaning once the dishes have been
washed.
Stay dry. Water is very attractive
to pests and roaches in particular. A very
small amount of water is all some roaches

need to feel satisfied, so all surfaces and
sinks should be kept dry. Drain water from
the sink, as a sink full of water is attractive
to roaches because they know how to swim
and can use water as a food source. Leaky
plumbing should also be addressed, as
leaky faucets, hoses and pipes may create a
pest-friendly environment that's difficult to
eradicate once it's established.
Address leaks around the house. A
pest infestation also may be a byproduct of
leaks around the house. Cracks or openings
along the baseboards or behind the sink can
create a point of entry for hungry pests, so
seal any such cracks or openings as soon
as possible. Pests also may enter a home
through holes in window screens or march
right in through the front door if there is
any space between the bottom of the door
and the floor. These repairs are both simple
and effective at preventing pests from entering a home.
Clear out clutter. Cluttered areas
make great hiding places for pests. Stacks
of old newspapers or magazines can obscure pests, and homeowners might have
a full infestation without even knowing it.
Removing such clutter eliminates potential
hiding places for pests.
Though some pest problems may require the use of pesticides, homeowners
who want to attempt a more eco-friendly
approach to eradicating pests can do so in a
number of ways.

Old Goods, New Creations

By Emily Charles
Contributing Writer
Young children are creative beings
with highly impressionable minds. Why
not develop those traits at Annmarie
Garden?
Annmarie Garden offers a Moms
Club in the artLAB on the first and third Mondays of each
month, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and youre invited! Mothers and their children, aged 3 to 5, are welcome to participate in an art class that allows children to embrace their
inner artist while at the same time teaching a valuable lesson recycling can be fun!
The artLAB is a crafts room based entirely around recycled goods, according to Chelsea Anspach, who teaches
the Moms Club with Joanne Poskraff. Even the decorations are recycled!
The Moms Club encourages children to both use their
imaginations and help the environment, while at the same
time spending time with their mothers, said Anspach. During the class, participants make crafts out of recyclables
that may otherwise have been thrown away or improperly
disposed of, said Anspach. The most recent project was the
creation of tropical parrot collages and a bird play, states
www.annmariegarden.org.
The class has regular attendees, but also a crowd of
comers and goera as children age or move away so the class
also serves to develop social skills and adaptations at a
young age.
When I first started teaching Moms Club I had a regular crew, and Joanne, she taught it before me and she had
a regular crew. Then the kids start going to school, so you
kind of lose them. I get a lot of military families because
of the base, and theyll move, but I do have regulars and
sometimes we get random people who look it up online. We
always have a few random humans in here! said Anspach.
When clubs and classes arent taking place in the artLAB, the room is open to the public and offers a variety of

projects.
We like change the public project every so often. We
have at least two different ones per month. If theres a certain holiday coming up well try to move the craft towards
that. Right now, were doing sea creatures because its summer and people are at the beach and were trying to show
people that they can use these plastics instead of throwing
them into the ocean and hurting animals, said Anspach.
How is the artLAB stocked? By donation!
We get so many donations from the public and a lot
of our volunteers, theyll just bring me bags
of corks or toilet paper rolls, said Anspach,
This room totally runs off donations.
The artLAB, located in the John Dennis
Murray Arts Building, is open to the public daily and only closes during scheduled
classes and birthday parties, said Anspach.
Birthdays can be scheduled by filling out a
rental form available online according to the

Most classes offered are drop in. After
admission to the John Dennis Murray Arts
Building is paid, no further charge is collected for artLAB classes in most cases. Admission costs $5 per adult, $4 for children ages
