Transportation planning involving both Calvert and St. Marys counties is being fnalized,
which will result in additional planning funds being released for transportation needs in the
county.
With the 2010 Census, the Lexington ParkCaliforniaChesapeake Ranch Estates area of
Southern Maryland exceeded a population of 50,000, the number qualifying the area for becom-
ing an urbanized area, according to a presentation from Calvert County Principal Planner
Patricia J. Haddon.
To facilitate planning, the counties have formed a Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO), which is a federally mandated and federally funded transportation policy-making
organization.
Although transit program funding has been released to the counties and to TCC (Tri
County Council), transit capital funding to the three
entities and MPO funds for both program planning and
MPO administration is being withheld pending certain
milestones being achieved.
One of those milestones is the approval of a master
document by the Maryland Department of Transporta-
tion (MDOT). The master document is currently under
judicial review, Haddon said.
Once all is approved, there will be additional
funds available for transportation planning in Calvert
and St. Marys counties, according to St. Marys Count
Department of Land Use and Growth Management
Deputy Director William B. Hunt.
The master document will be executed after f-
nal legal review by MDOT, at which time additional
documents in progress will be completed and properly
advertised. A website will be set up for the Calvert-St.
Marys MPO (C-SMMPO) and the frst C-SMMPO
Board Meeting will be held. Transportation planning
will include general public and elected offcial input. The C-SMMPO will be fully established
after of the master document and additional documents, including bylaws and a transportation
plan, are completed. Once the process is complete, there is $180,000 in funding that can be re-
leased to use for transportation needs in the MPO.
One way of another, were going to get funds released, Haddon said.
Potential future projects funded by the MPO money can involve roads, sidewalk projects
and trails, Haddon said. There will be projects in both counties receiving funding from the MPO.
Calvert County is currently in the midst of reviewing bus transportation plans, which makes the
timing perfect, Haddon said.
Once the MPO documents are approved and everything is in place, the MPO will be fairly
low key, Haddon said. The committee in charge of it will meet four times per year to review
priorities and ensure it runs smoothly.

Were here to provide for all, said Calvert County Rec-
reation Supervisor Mary Lou Johnson, referring to the classes
offered in the recently released Calvert County Parks and Rec-
reation Fall/Holiday Program.
Classes and sports offered countywide are refreshed ev-
ery time a guide is released, Johnson said. Public interest and
available instructors and coaches available determine classes
offered.
In the guide, activities that are teen-friendly are marked by
a speech-bubble symbol.
A lot of times, when you get to be a teen, all you want to do
is hang out, Johnson said, adding that the Department of Parks
and Recreation is trying to get teens involved in activities. Ad-
ditional activities are good for all ages and would be good for
friends and family members to take together. Yoga and Zumba
have been some of the most popular classes lately, Johnson said.
For more information, about Calvert County visit www.
co.cal.md.us. To see the online edition of the parks and rec-
reation guide, visit www.co.cal.md.us/DocumentCenter/

sible, Johnson said.

Jacqueline Morgan Day
Spa (JMDS) has moved to a
new home on Main Street in
Prince Frederick.
The new location is larger
than its previous Armory Road
location, allowing for addi-
tional treatment rooms and a
hair stylist, according to spa
owner Jacqueline Morgan.
The new location is a
house that was built in the
1920s, Morgan said. It took a
year and a half to acquire and
renovate the location for use as
a day spa.
JMDS started in 2001 as
a skin care clinic. Since then,
the spa has grown from a staff
of three to a staff of 25 offer-
ing a full line of spa services,
from hair care to nail care and
massages. With the new loca-
tion, the spa will be offering
couples massage services in
the Duet Suite. There will soon
be a sauna, among other offer-
ings designed to maximize comfort and
relaxation.
Everybodys stressed these days,
Morgan said.
According to the JMDS website,
at Jacqueline Morgan Day Spa, we
are committed to providing our guests
with a warm and inviting spa experi-
ence. We offer personalized and tech-
nologically advanced facial treatments,
relaxing massage therapy, slimming and
de-stress body treatments, natural man-
icure and pedicure services that aid in
maintaining strong, healthy nails as well
as full service cosmetics in a peaceful
and tranquil environment. Be assured
that our knowledgeable staff will pro-
vide you with a plan to help you achieve
your desired results. We allow the extra
time necessary to ensure that you never
feel rushed. We believe that the basic
element of human touch plays a vital
role in healthy aging and well-being.
For more information, or to make a
reservation for services, visit www.jac-
quelinemorganskincare.com or call 410-
535-6059. The new address is 128 Main
Street in Prince Frederick.

When children see their parents reading for pleasure, it sends a message to
them that reading is something fun to do, according to Calvert Library Southern
Branch Manager Colleen Cano.
The Calvert County Library Southern Branch will host the latest in the series
of the Books and Toys caregiver book discussion on Aug. 18. The premise of the
group is to give caregivers a chance to talk with other adults while their children
play with other children.
Childrens librarian Melissa DeCesaris started the group in November 2011
following the birth of her son.
It was a way for me to get back to books, she said.
The Aug. 18 book discussion will be about A Star for Mrs. Blake by April
Smith.
The fall series will include the Sept. 22 discussion of The Husbands Secret
by LIane Moriarty, the Oct. 20 discussion of Mother, Mother by Koren Zailckas,
the Nov. 20 discussion of The Storyteller by Jodi Piccoult and the Dec. 15 discus-
sion of All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
DeCesaris selects the books for the group quarterly with input from the group,
from goodreads.com and from her own personal preferences. She tries to pick
things that are outside the box and make sure there is something for everybody in
the mix, she said.
The group is a bit louder during the summer, when children are out of school.
Before the club meets, librarians pull the imagination station into the meeting room.
Children bring their own toys and play with toys the library supplies, such as Legos,
while their caregivers discuss their latest read. The Books and Toys group offers
a social group for both parents and children, DeCesaris said, and group members
often get together outside the book discussion. During the upcoming meeting, the
group will be holding a book baby shower for a mother who recently found out
she is pregnant again. During Christmas, the group holds an ugly sweater book
discussion.
We have fun, DeCesaris said.
The group is open to whoever wishes to join. For more information, visit cal-
vert.lib.md.us.

Following the Aug. 7 Board of Education meeting, school and local offcials and members of the community
gathered at the Brooks Administration Building to welcome newly hires Superintendent Daniel Curry.
Curry expressed his pleasure in working with Calvert County Public Schools, likening the county itself to
a comfortable shirt, which has been very warm and welcoming. He looks forward to working to keep Calvert
County Public Schools among the best in the state.
The Calvert County Board of Education
named the roster for the 2014-2015 Citizens
Advisory Committee during their Aug. 7
meeting.
According to their presentation dur-
ing the meeting, the Board of Education re-
quested that the Citizen Advisory Committee
(CAC) explore current Calvert County Public
School (CCPS) substance abuse education pro-
grams to determine their adequacy and how
the school system can do more to educate our
students on substance abuse.
In lieu of our November meeting, the
CAC attended the Southern Maryland Region
Common Core State Standards Informa-
tion Session held at Huntingtown High School.
Members of the CAC participated on a
number of school system ad hoc committees
during the school year.
The CACs recommendations to the
Board of Education included
More formalized, integrated program at
all grade levels encompassing school staff, the
county health department, Sheriffs Depart-
ment, and CAASA (Calvert Alliance Against
Substance Abuse) coordinated by Student
Services.
Regular reinforcement in the high
schools of the dangers and pitfalls of substance
abuse. This could include a yearly assembly/
program on Substance Abuse with a public
speaker who can share a real life story. May
also include presentations from the States At-
torney and/or law enforcement personnel.
Continuing education on Substance
Abuse throughout high school (every year).
A continuing education program could
include a number of initiatives such as school-
wide or system-wide poster contests oriented
towards drug abuse/awareness, and frequent
reminders to students and parents highlight-
ing techniques for identifying and preventing
substance abuse.
Investigate participation in S.A.D.D. in
both middle and high schools

Living United
20th Annual Day of Caring on Sept. 10
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
This year marks the 20th annual Calvert County United Way Day of Caring, and longtime
volunteers are looking back on their years of service and forward to future, including the up-
coming Day of Caring on Sept. 10.
The frst Day of Caring was held in 1995, inspired by a Day of Caring held in Pennsylvania.
United Ways are good at copying each other, said Calvert County United Way President
and CEO Kelly Chambers. The frst kickoff breakfast was held at the Prince Frederick Volunteer
Fire Station. Baltimore Gas and Electric, now the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, was one of
the frst organizations involved in the Day of Caring.
It was hard to get companies to give the day off, said former Day of Caring Committee
member Gus Wolf.
It was a great way for companies to get their employees involved in the community,
Getting time off for volunteers wasnt the only challenge during the frst few Days of Car-
ing. Money was tight and participating businesses would use their own shirts, which made it
diffcult to label the Day of Caring a United Way event, Chambers said. Eventually, to give
participating organizations some recognition, event sponsors were listed on Day of Caring signs
around the county and on the back of Day of Caring tee-shirts.
Some Days of Caring have had more unforeseen challenges, such as hurricanes, tornadoes
and other weather related problems. In 2001, the Day of Caring fell on Sept. 12, the day after the
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
I was in my car picking up supplies for the next day when I heard what had happened.
I came back to the United Way House, and we had to make a decision about whether to move
forward with Day of Caring. We decided to let the agencies decide in concert with the volunteers.
About half of the projects continued the next day and by the third week after 911, all of the proj-
ects had been completed. Many volunteers said the experience was cathartic for them, said for-
mer Day of Caring Committee member and current Board of Directors Secretary Brian Davis.
A number of volunteers in 2001 wanted to go ahead with the volunteer day because it gave
them a sense of control in their community and gave them something positive to do, said Director
of Community Impact Jennifer Moreland.
The groups that chose to postpone their volunteer project got the work done by the end of
September, Davis said.
Less than a year later, in April 2002, a major tornado hit La Plata, Md., and parts of Calvert
County. Even though the annual Day of Caring was nearly six months away, the United Way
reached out to the network of volunteers to help remove trees and fx damage and got a strong
response, Chambers said.
Volunteers who help out during the Day of Caring are often introduced to organizations
they become heavily involved with. For the Day of Caring Committee members, both past and
present, serving their community is a way of life.

Jennifer Moreland and Russell Costley look for familiar names.
A lot of people over the years got connected with an
agency at Day of Caring, and then they stayed involved. Our
nonprofts as a whole are frugal, so they are very appreciative for
what they get, said former Day of Caring Committee member
Bob Sheranko.
My intention in life is to do the best I can while I am here.
My mother raised me to accept service as the way it was going
to be. And my high school teacher (and Day of Caring commit-
tee member) Russell Costley, guided me in the same way, said
former Day of Caring Committee member Phyllis Lester.
Costly is currently the agency representative for Safe Har-
bor. Wolf runs the Tree of Angels, an organization that ensures
that children of families in need receive Christmas gifts, and
helps run the Calvert Churches Community Food Pantry. Lester
assembles and hands out holiday baskets to elderly people and
shut-ins.
For Davis, serving his community was
something he was taught to do while grow-
ing up as a military child. Because he moved
so often, he wanted to volunteer with an
organization that would make a difference
in the community he lives in. He chose the
United Way because every dollar donated
remains in Calvert County. Davis was part
of the committee that pushed to get spon-
sorships for Day of Caring, which made the
event self-sustaining without using money
from the main United Way budget. Not all
sponsors donate money. Some donate sup-
plies, such as paint, wood and plants, to help
complete projects county wide.
Since its start in 1988, it took a long
time to get the United Way recognized as a
force in the community and now it provides
the glue to make us a community, Wolf said.
While participating businesses adopt
projects, there are always spaces for individuals to volunteer
during Day of Caring. As many as 300 people have been in-
volved in past Days of Caring.
Agencies always need help, Chambers said.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, Moreland will be
flming volunteers during the Day of Caring to make a music
video, which will be used as a promotional material in the fu-
ture. Volunteers are welcome to visit the Calvert United Way
website to vote for what song should be used in the video.
Its my favorite day of all the events we do, Moreland
said.

of Caring, visit www.unitedwaycalvert.org.

1990 census and the Canadian census of
1971 and 1976.
They bought their home in Acco-
keek, Md., where the children attended
elementary, middle school and high
school. The children now have fami-
lies of their own. Over the years, the
Cookes vacationed in their travel trailer
visiting family and friends in northern
New York, Vermont and southern Vir-
ginia. Bill and Glenna really enjoyed
ballroom dancing. Without fail, you
could fnd them Tripping the Light Fan-
tastic with friends from their church or
the VFW where Bill was a life member.
They also spent a lot of time doing jig-
saw puzzles.
Bill enjoyed woodworking until he
lost sight in his left eye and a stroke left
him partially blind in the other eye. He
has plunked a guitar since he was a kid
and for entertainment he would gather
his Asbury neighbors for plunking
and sing-along sessions. Other interests
included gardening, camping and travel-
ing. He especially enjoyed his cruises to
Hawaii and watching baseball.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Letter to the Editor,
League Cancels Town Hall Meeting
on Dominion Cove Point LNG
The Washington Post article from August 6,
2014, Rising rates of hospice discharge in U.S. raise
questions about quality of care, states that the overall
live discharge rate for hospice (in 2012) was 18.1 per-
cent, and for non-proft hospices greater than 5 years
old was 14 percent.
Calvert Hospices live discharge rates are as
follows: 15.5 percent for 2012, 15.1 percent in 2013,
and so far in 2014, our live discharge rate has been 4
percent.
However, what should be clarifed are the two
types of improper practices that the journalist claims
cause live discharges from hospice. He states that the
reasons that a patient would live discharge from hos-
pice are 1) hospices choose to discharge patients when
their care becomes too expensive or 2) hospices enroll
patients who are not terminally ill to infate their prof-
its, and then discharge them before they die.
What he fails to explore is the most signifcant
reason for live discharges from hospice the Medicare
criteria that determine whether patients are appropri-
ate for hospice care are so limiting and strict, that we
are frequently forced by Medicare to discharge pa-
tients that we want to keep on service. Patients who
are clearly chronically ill with multiple health issues
but who do not clearly ft within the very constrained
Medicare criteria guidelines must be discharged be-
cause otherwise we would be committing Medicare
fraud. We know that these patients are sick and re-
quire our services and this is exactly why 1 in 4
patients who leave hospice alive are hospitalized with-
in 30 days and more than 12,000 patients in 2012
were released alive from hospice, entered a hospital
and within two days of leaving the hospital were re-
enrolled in hospice. It is heartbreaking to our staff to
learn that a patient who we had to discharge has been
readmitted to the hospital, and even worse if we fnd
out that they died without our services. We all take
it very personally and fght very, very hard to prove
to Medicare that patients meet criteria before we have
to discharge them. Live discharge is always our last
resort.
Rest assured that the main goal of Calvert Hos-
pice is to keep our patients at home and comfortable
for as long as possible, providing the BEST care pos-
sible while working to stay compliant with Medicare
guidelines. If a patient fails to meet Medicare crite-
ria and we have to discharge them, we will be there
to readmit them should their medical status decline.
This may hurt our numbers in the eyes of the Wash-
ington Post, but we stand by the quality of care that
we provide.
Sincerely,
Brenda Laughhunn
Executive Director
This letter is in response to Mr. Owen V. Cummings mean spirited,
puerile hatchet job on Commissioners Susan Shaw and Jerry Clark.
Lately, its become impossible to open the local paper to the letters page
without reading fearful missives from readers expressing apprehension con-
cerning the LNG plant in Drum Point. Possible eventualities suggested by
letter-writers range from balls of fame in the night sky to terrorists.
While such fears are certainly not unfounded and shouldnt be dis-
missed out-of-hand, it is no excuse for incivility.
At one time, my family lived in the shadows of a gasworks factory in
Southeast Washington, D.C. Our home was in close proximity to the Navy
yard, a logical target in the event of an attack. We never spent much time
worrying about bombs falling from a dive-bomber, though. Our thoughts
were rooted on an underground silo, maybe in Kansas, maybe in Minsk,
and the realization that someone in an early warning facility might mistake
a formation of birds for an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and order a
retaliatory strike.
There was no escape route in that eventuality.
One of the speakers quoted a recent Calvert Recorder article as oppos-
ing the plants expansion is employed by the aerospace industry, an industry
millions of people in backwaters across the country were convinced would
lead to global destruction.
A vast number of Americans were convinced that a nuclear bomb would
accidentally be dropped from a B-52 over a major U.S. city (one actually did
fall on Tibee Island, Ga. in 1958, look it up), that the multistage Saturn rocket
would fall on a populated area, and that the Apollo astronauts would return to
earth with a latent virus that would decimate earths population.
Were still here.
President Woodrow Wilson and his wife so feared incandescent light-
ing, the White House had a designated servant whose job it was to switch the
electrical current on and off.
Calverts credit rating was recently affrmed AAA and AA+ due in no
small part on the LNG expansion.
I am convinced Mr. Cummings, your letter typifes the type of hysteria
which instigated pogroms in the Old World with allegations of well-poison-
ing and turned neighbor against neighbor.

Edward C. Davenport, Drum Point
The League of Women Voters Calvert County is
grateful for the support it received across a host of topics
we address at our monthly Town Hall Meetings, includ-
ing the press coverage the meetings receive. We endeav-
ored to conduct a Town Hall Meeting about Dominion
Cove Point LNG in August, but with many scheduling
conficts, the League decided it would be ineffective.
The League tried to reschedule the August meeting,
but that too created additional and different conficts.
January 28, 2014, the League conducted a nonpar-
tisan public forum on Cove Point LNG. The FERC hear-
ing in May 2014 provided extended public discussion
and input; additionally there have been other discussions
throughout the county this year about this topic.
The League regrets that it cannot conduct the Cove
Point LNG Town Hall Meeting at this time. We must
move through September and later with our voter ser-
vices activitiesincluding publishing an electronic Vot-
ers Guide, Voter Registration, Candidates Forums, and
Polling Place Evaluations. These program activities will
consume most of our volunteers time.
Established in 1920 after winning the right to vote
for women, the League is one of the nations most re-
spected community-based organizations. The League
is a nonpartisan political organization and works to pro-
mote political responsibility through informed and active
participation in government; increases understanding of
major policy issues and infuences public policy through
education and advocacy. Membership in the League is
open to men and women. In addition to our work in the
election area, League volunteers work on issues of lo-
cal importance, from education to land use and housing.
The Calvert County League began in 1966.

Its hard to believe that Calvert County students will be head-
ing back to school in just a couple of weeks. As parents/guardians
begin shopping for school clothes, school supplies and talking with
their children about what to expect in the upcoming school year, one
topic that should be addressed is the use of tobacco, alcohol and other
drugs.
If you dont know how to begin the conversation, check out the
Parent Toolkit at www.drugfree.org which provides specifc sug-
gestions on what to say to children from ages 2 to 25 in a variety of
different scenarios. Get in the habit of look if for teachable moments.
Whether youre dispensing your childs daily vitamins or learning
about the latest celebrity drug scandal, recognize these life events as
opportunities to talk to your child about the risks associated with use
of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Throw out all the stereotypes because
youth drug use cuts across all ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic
lines and youth are experiencing pressure to use tobacco, alcohol and
drugs at increasingly young ages. Its never too early to talk to your
children about the health risks associated with the use of tobacco, al-
cohol and other drugs.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Admin-
istration (SAMHSA), research shows that parental infuence is a pri-
mary reason that youth dont use drugs. Most teens who do not use
alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs credit their parents as a major factor
in that decision. So get into the habit of talking with your child every
day. The more you know about your child, the easier it will be to guide
him/her toward more positive activities and friendships.
Everyone at the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse wish-
es you a successful and fun school year. If you have any questions or
would like additional information, feel free to call us at 410-535-3733.

Janet Bateman

moment when someone sailing gets that real
feeling of excitement and the adrenaline rush
when you come about and then, the sudden
calm. Participants may return to Annma-

transformed into mazes at the ARTmazing!
