First Fossil Snaggletooth

Shark Skeleton Ever Found
Calvert Marine Museum (CMM) paleontologists excavated an extremely rare fossilized skeleton
of a 15-million-year-old shark on October 31, 2014.
Uncovered by the Gibson family on their property in
Chesapeake Beach Maryland, this snaggletooth shark
skeleton is the first of its kind ever found.
Shawn Gibson contacted Dr. Stephen Godfrey,
Curator of Paleontology at CMM, about a fossil find
that his brother, Donald, discovered. Donald found
fossil shark vertebrae while digging footers for a new
sunroom at the home of his parents, Donnie and Jo Ann
Gibson. He contacted Pat Gotsis, a family friend who
has collected fossils for over 40 years. Pat knew immediately it was something special. After a day of digging, Shawn, with help from his 7-year-old son Caleb,
excavated over 50 vertebrae. When they realized that
the vertebrae led up to the sharks skull with jaws full of
teeth, Shawn called the museum for help.
Shawn Gibsons phone call describing their find
was so unusual that John Nance, Assistant Curator of
Paleontology, and Dr. Godfrey investigated immediately. We were wonderstruck at seeing the articulated
shark skeleton! said Dr. Godfrey.
Aside from their teeth, shark skeletons are made
of cartilage, which does not fossilize nearly as well as
bone. Typically after animals die if parts of their skeleton do not disintegrate immediately, they are scattered
by scavengers. In this case, most of the teeth and skeleton stayed together in a life-like way as it became buried in sand on the ocean floor.
Godfrey told those gathered that he had never
seen anything like it and would probably not live long
enough to see another. We are very grateful that the
Gibsons stopped digging when they did and called the
museum for help. The rest of the skeleton was excavated that evening and trick-or-treaters watched as the
team worked to put a protective cast around the fossilized shark skeleton. Robert Cantrell (AllFinsOn.com)
filmed and photographed the excavation and the skel-

eton is now at the Calvert Marine Museum where it will

be prepared for display and research.
This skeleton, the first one of this kind of shark
ever found, belongs to the extinct snaggletooth shark,
Hemipristis serra. Over 80 vertebrae and hundreds of
teeth from one individual were found. The shark would
have been 8 to10 feet long. The jaws and teeth were
preserved mostly intact after the shark came to rest
upside down on the ocean floor 15 million years ago
during the Miocene epoch. Even more astounding, is
the presence of delicate jaw cartilage which is almost
never preserved.
The closest living relative to this extinct Miocene
shark is also known as the snaggletooth or weasel shark
(Hemipristis elongata; Family Hemigaleidae). It is
found in the Indo-West Pacific, including the Red Sea,
from southeast Africa to the Philippines, north to China, and south to Australia, in coastal waters at depths of
4 to 400 feet. The living snaggletooth shark grows up
to 8 feet in length, and preys upon crabs, cephalopods,
other sharks, rays, and fish. The teeth of the extinct
snaggletooth shark are so similar to those of its living
relative that they probably had a comparable diet.

fossil find, please contact Stephen Godfrey 443-6247610 or John Nance 410-326-2042, ext. 40.

Dominion Cove Point has received final approval to begin contstruction on the export expansion and
has begun construction-related activities for the Cove Point Liquefied Natural Gas Export project. Export activities are scheduled to begin in late 2017.
The project will cost between
$3.4 billion and $3.8 billion. Construction is to begin after Dominion Cove
Point has undergone a comprehensive
three-year regulatory review and approval process.
In addition to the work on the
Dominion Cove Point site, there are
two off-site staging areas one on
Solomons Island and the other one
straight across Route 2/4 from the
Cove Point Road entrance.
According to Dominion Cove
Point Vice President of LNG Operations Michael Frederick, the heavy
equipment being staged at the off-site
locations will be moved when the
state says it is appropriate. The goal
is to move everything in off hours,
when traffic on Cove Point Road is
light, he said. He doesnt anticipate the
road being blocked for more than 15

to 20 minutes at a time, and Dominion Cove Point will pay to have emergency response units available south
of Dominion Cove Point in the event
the road is blocked. A fair amount of
preliminary work will have to be completed before larger pieces are moved
into place, Frederick said.
All three of the sites have been
inspected by the Maryland Department of the Environment, Frederick
said.
There will be a temporary pier
constructed at the Solomons Island
location, which will be taken down
when construction is complete, Frederick said. The Solomons Island property is owned by the Glascock family
and, as part of the agreement for Dominion Cove Point to use it, the property is to be restored to its original
condition when the project is finished.
This is not the first time such an
expansion has been constructed at
Dominion Cove Point, Frederick said,
and they learned lessons during past
projects to make this one as quick and
low impact as possible.

Each year on Nov. 11, we give thanks to those who

served in the United States military. This year on Veterans Day, veterans gathered at the Calvert County Circuit
Court, located in Prince Frederick at 11 a.m. to celebrate
their day. The ceremony featured the Chesapeake Community Chorus. The chorus group sang the National Anthem and God Bless America.

Its That Time

of Year Again
Festival of Trees Seeking Volunteers
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
With Halloween over, its time to
think about the next holiday Thanksgiving. More specifically, its time to start
planning to attend the 26th annual Calvert
Hospice Festival of Trees, to be held Nov.
28, 29 and 30 at the St. John Vianney Family Life Center in Prince Frederick.
Last year saw a lot of changes to the
festival it was in a new location, there
were new activities and more. There wont
be as much change this year, according to
Volunteer, Media and Marketing Coordinator Anne Stavely. Instead, the Festival of
Trees has been streamlined to make it flow
better during the weekend.
Tickets will be $5 for adults, $4 for
seniors and $1 for children ages 4 to 12.
Children under the age of 4 will have free
admission.
The Festival of Trees is hospices biggest fundraiser of the year. The proceeds
from the Festival of Trees go back into Calvert Hospice and the Burnett Calvert Hospice House, Stavely said.
This years festival features the traditional decorated trees, a variety of family-friendly entertainment, a train display,
craft vendors, Santas workshop, poinsettia
sales and a gingerbread house competition.
The Hospice Boutique will be selling donations from the community and donating
the proceeds back to Calvert Hospice.
Right now, Stavely is pushing for volunteers to help during the weekend. They
need people to help set up and tear down
the festival, sell raffle tickets, work in the
various areas during the weekend and
more.
To volunteer for this years Festival,
email astavely@calverthospice.org or call
410-535-0892, extension 4003.

SMECO
Project
Completed
SMECO Warns
of Customer Scam
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Nov. 3 Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) finished its Maryland Reliability Project; the process first began in 1973
when SMECO first requested the necessary permits for this project. According to a press release
from SMECO, the project energized the underriver portion of the 230,000-volt line that creates
a transmission loop through the cooperative's
service area.
According to SMECOS Senior Vice President Ken Capps, the first section of the 230-kilovolt (kV) line from Ryceville to Lexington
Park was energized in 1990. As the population
and the demand for electricity increased, the necessity for a complete 230-kV loop increased."
According to SMECO President and CEO
Austin J. Slater, Jr., electric utilities are obligated to maintain the highest standard of reliable
service and provide the most up-to-date technology to improve economic and operational
efficiency. By completing this 230,000 KV loop
through our service area, customer-members are
assured of improved reliability.
We expect this new line to provide enough
capacity to see us through the next 50 years,
Slater added.
According to the release, the construction
highlights of the project were 25.5 miles of
PVC conduit and 6.9 miles of cable were used to
complete the river crossing; 19,543 cubic yards
of concrete were used for the foundations of
291 steel poles, replacing 430 poles used for the
previous 69-kV line; 15.5 miles of roads were
graded along the right-of-way and for construction access and 15 helicopter flights were used to
install 181 of the 197 miles of conductor for 28
miles of overhead spans.
The Maryland Reliability Project took
seven years to complete and was a $108 million
project.
In addition to completing the reliability
project, SMECO alerts customers to a scam regarding their electric bill. According to a release
from the co-op, customers have called in stating
they are being asked to provide payment information in order to avoid their electric service being disconnected.
According to Managing Director of Government and Public Affairs Tom Dennison, it
seems like every few months we get a wave of
customers who say theyve received scam phone
calls. If customers receive a phone call from
someone threatening to disconnect their power,
they may hang up and call SMECO directly at
1-888-440-3311. Our contact center is open 24
hours a day, every day.
Customers can also check their account
balance by calling SMECOs automated system
at 1-866-528-7757. Customer-members should
never provide personal financial or electric account information to unauthorized callers,
Dennison said.

Lusby Man Pleads

Out to Burglary Charges
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Calvert County Circuit Court
Judge Mark Chandlee sentenced
19-year-old Joseph Ford, of Lusby,
to five years of supervised probation.
However, if Ford violates probation,
he will serve 13 years at the Division
of Corrections. As part of his probation requirements, Ford is required to
enroll and complete the program at
the Jude House, which is a rehabilitation facility.
States Attorney Laura Martin,
who prosecuted this case, said the defendant needs to understand that is
DOC [Division of Corrections] time
hanging over his head and thats a
rough place to be for someone his age
and his size and if he messes up again
thats where hell be.
Judge Chandlee told Ford is he
only agreeing to this sentence because he is going into this rehabilitation program.
Ford was charged by police with
first-degree burglary, second-degree
burglary, two counts of third-degree
burglary, two counts of fourth-degree
burglary, two counts of theft from

$1,000 to under $10,000, malicious
destruction of property/valued less
than $1,000, possession of a regulated firearm while under the age of 21
and regulated firearm stolen possession/sell/transfer/dispose of. The
plea agreement allowed the court to
only charge the defendant with regulated firearm stolen possession/sell/
transfer/dispose of and one count of
theft from $1,000 to under $10,000.
Ignorance is no defense to the
law; he should have known better.
He apologizes and he feels pretty
bad about the whole situation, said
Fords Attorney Richard Lloyd.
Lloyd told the court he considers
this a bump in the road because this
is a one time thing.
Lloyd also said his client has a
lot to look forward to because he is
in the process of earning his EMT
(Emergency Medical Technician) license and was previously volunteering at the Solomons Volunteer Fire
Department.
One of the victims spoke during the hearing and said although she
agreed with the defendant entering
into the treatment facility; she said

it was a very cruel crime because
her childrens Christmas gifts were
stolen during the robbery.
Judge Chandlee told the defendant his actions not only affected
him, but impacted other people as
well.
At the minimum, they had their
Christmas ruined, but their home
was invaded, Chandlee said.
We all know how important
Christmas is for our kids and it was
ruined, Martin said.
As part of his probation, Ford
is required to pay a total of $2665,36
in restitution to the victims, $145 for
court costs, submit to a mental health
treatment, abstain from alcohol and

Woman Sentenced to 10 Years

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Nov. 3, Calvert County Circuit Court Judge Marjorie Clagett sentenced Melissa Bowen, of Huntingtown, to 10
years at the Division of Corrections.
Police originally charged Bowen with second-degree
murder after her two baby boys were found dead on separate
occasions. The one child was found in a trash bag in the truck
of Bowens car with the umbilical cord still attached; the other child was found in the attic of a La Plata home in a suitcase.
According to court files, Bowen accepted an Alford
plea, which concedes the state has enough evidence to find
a guilty verdict, but the defendant does not admit guilt to the
charges.
The plea agreement lowered the severity of the charges;
Bowen was charged with two counts of manslaughter, instead of second-degree murder.
The court recommended Bowen serve at the Patuxent
Institute in Jessup, Maryland.

Judge Clagett sentenced Bowen to 10 years with three
years suspended for count one of manslaughter and 10 years
with seven years suspended for count two of manslaughter;
Bowen is eligible for parole.
According to court files, upon release, Bowen is on five
years of supervised probation. Bowen must provide a DNA
sample, submit to and pay for random urinalysis, submit to
and successfully complete and pay required costs for alcohol and drug evaluation; testing; treatment and education.
Bowen must also abstain from alcohol, illegal substances and
the abusive use of any prescription drug. She is required to
submit to an evaluation and attend and successfully complete
mental health treatment.
Senior Assistant States Attorney Kathryn Marsh prosecuted the case and Louis Martucci represented the defendant.

Man Pleads
Out To Assault
Charges
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Nov. 10, Calvert County Circuit Clerk Judge
Gregory Wells agreed to the plea agreement made
between Senior Assistant States Attorney Jennifer
Morton and defense attorney Allison OConnell regarding the defendant, Patrick Nathanael Salts.
Salts was charged by police with two counts of
second-degree assault, three counts of reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and intoxication. According to court files, the defendant was intoxicated
on July 4, 2013 and began fighting with individuals at
Breezy Point Park in Chesapeake Beach during a volleyball game. Salts was asked to leave multiple times,
but came back twice with a 2 x 4, which had nails in
it. Salts began swinging and hitting individuals with
the wooden block. When police arrived, the defendant
told the officers he was the one who was assaulted,
though police said he had no visible wounds. Salts
was taken to the Calvert County Detention Center,
where he blew a blood alcohol level of .08.
During the plea agreement, Salts requested Judge
Wells lower his bond, which is set at $25,000, according to court files. Salts claimed he could not afford the
bond and he wanted to have time to say goodbye to his
four children and play football with his nine year
old son, whom he said was taking it the hardest. Salts
apologized to Judge Wells for his actions and said he
was never going to drink again. Despite his request,
Judge Wells denied lowering his bail amount.
Judge Wells set the defendants sentencing date
for Dec. 5 at the Calvert County Circuit Court. As part
of the plea agreement, Salts is only being charged with
one count of second-degree assault and one count of
reckless endangerment.

Education
Superintendent
Prepares for
Changeover in
Board of Education
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
As of the General Election held on Nov. 4, the Board of Education has
two new members. A third member is soon to be appointed by the Board of
County Commissioners, meaning a nearly-complete changeover which will
take effect during the first BOE meeting in 2015.
Its unusual to have so many new faces all at once, said Superintendent
Daniel Curry, but its not unheard of.
Curry took the position as superintendent in July 2014, so even though
new board member William J. Bill Phalen served on the Board of Education before, it will be a whole new experience for Curry.
When the new board is in place, Curry plans to have a strategic planning session to sort out long range and short range goals and how to carry
them out.
In addition to planning as a group, he intends to meet with each of the
board members individually to find out what is most important to them and
what support they need during their first months on the board.
He is pleased that both Dawn C. Balinski and Eugene M. Karol have
offered to lend their experience and support during the transition.

The Board of Education was briefed on initiatives to offer advanced

learning opportunities to third grade students.
These opportunities are designed to be all-inclusive, according to the
report from the Advanced Learning Committee. Instead of splitting students up, third grade students will be given enrichment opportunities in
the classroom. If they grasp a concept more quickly than their classmates,
they will be given small-group or individual assignments that allow them
to explore it more in-depth. This way, there will be no stigma attached if in
another lesson they need extra support. They will be in the same classroom
consistently.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, Calvert Education
Association President Debbie Russ encouraged the board to go back to the
old way of negotiating contracts, ending with a three-year contract rather
than having to come back every year to re-negotiate.
Student BOE Member Alexya Brown expressed concerns that students
dont know whats going on with the PARCC assessments and the Common
Core State Standards. She recommended finding ways to get information
to students and address misinformation already going around, such as the
common core involving only Maryland. There has been a recent spike in
inherent harassment and bullying, she said, adding that students are concerned and trying to find solutions to the problem.

Pageantry Comes to Calvert County

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Mrs. World 2014 to be Hosted in Solomons
All Eyes on Solomons

From as far away as Poland, Singapore, Thailand and
as nearby as Oklahoma, 40 women have converged on Calvert County to participate in the 2014 Mrs. World competition. The pageant begins on Monday, Nov. 17 on the stage
at Patuxent High School.
The women participating in the pageant, and whoever
they bring with them, will be staying at Holiday Inn in Solomons. During the week, the women will have a chance to
visit St. Marys and Calvert counties in addition to Annapolis and Washington, D.C. Running Hare Winery in Prince
Frederick will be hosting the women during a dinner on
Friday afternoon.
Since 1983, the Mrs. World pageant has been held in a
number of locations, such as Queensland, Australia; Jerusalem, Israel; San Jose, Costa Rica; Honolulu, Hawaii; Las
Vegas, Nev.; Amby Valley, India; Kaliningrad, Russia; Ba
Rua Vung Tau Province, Vietnam; and Orlando, Fla. Solomons, Md. will join the list this week.
As with other pageants, the contestants travels will be
filmed and used as the B-roll footage in web streaming and
the cable television package to fill the dead air time when
the contestants are changing or when there is a break in the
action, said Judges Coordinator Earl Hurrey.
The whole world will be watching Solomons Island,
he said.
Hurrey grew up in southern Calvert County. He graduated from Calvert High School, before Patuxent High
School was built, and he has stayed in the county through
his adulthood. Hurrey has been involved in the Mrs. America and Mrs. World pageants for years, and when the original location for the 2014 Mrs. World pageant fell through,
he seized the opportunity and suggested to Founder and
CEO David Marmel that Solomons could be a suitable replacement. Marmel came out to visit the area during the
summer and agreed that it would work, Hurrey said.

During the pageant, Hurrey keeps track of all the judges and who they talk to. The pageant strives for fairness, he
said, and its his job to make sure they end up in conversation with a contestants family or in a situation that would
make them appear partial to a particular contestant.
The judges are always prominent members of the community, Hurrey said. Past judges have included former Mrs.
World pageant winners, actors, Hollywood writers and
more.
How Fast Can You Plan a Pageant?

Solomons Island hasnt had a lot of time to plan for the
pageant. Holiday Inn found out at the end of August that the
Mrs. Word competition was to be moved to Solomons, said
Holiday Inn spokesman Lauren Simpson.
Pulling off such an event requires a huge cooperative
effort, especially in a fairly short time span, has required a
huge cooperative effort.

The big challenge has been getting word out about the
event, Simpson said. Another challenge has been the language barrier. Some of the women have brought translators,
Simpson said.
Helping in the undertaking has been the Solomons
Business Association and the Calvert County Department
of Economic Development.
The Solomons Business Association is handling the
monetary transactions, Simpson said.
The Department of Economic Development has been
helping with logistical planning, according to Tourism Specialist Joyce Stinnett Baki. Logistics include everything
from recommending places for contestants to eat and visit
to coordinating with the Calvert County Sheriffs Department, Baki said.
The pageant itself will be held in southern Calvert, but
the effects can be felt region wide, she said. Contestants will
be visiting local attractions. Attendees will be coming from
all over the country, and the world, to watch the pageant.
It is a benefit to the whole community, Baki said.
13
Giving All Women a Chance

These are all married women who have already done
something with their lives, Baki said, adding that they are
good examples for young women watching the pageant.
Every woman has a cause they support, Hurrey said.
The causes range from awareness of early childhood blindness to child abuse or specific non-profit organizations.
According to the Mrs. World website, the concept for
Mrs. World has its roots in one of the oldest and most respected of all competitions- Mrs. America. David Marmel
reorganized that extravaganza, featuring a more contemporary and glamorous approach. While beauty is the key
element, contestants are also urged to voice their opinions
about marriage and current events.
All married women young wives, mothers and even
grandmothers are eligible to participate. By providing this
unique forum, in which delegates from around the world
can come together and share a common purpose. Mrs.
World successfully fosters greater communication, friendship and mutual understanding among all people.
Marmel was inspired to start the Mrs. America pageant while watching the Miss America pageant with his
wife, co-founder Elaine Marmel, in the mid-1970s. The
country was reaching its bicentennial anniversary, he said,
and everyone was talking about the founding fathers. He
got to wondering about the founding mothers, and the fact
that there was no pageant for married women and women
over the age of 21.
The most experienced, brilliant, accomplished women in the world are married, he said.
The Mrs. America and Mrs. World competitions are
open to any married women over the age of 18, he said.
Competing in a pageant is not for everyone.
It takes balls to put yourself out there publically and
get through it, he said, adding that contestants triumphs
and failures ae all very public. It takes confidence and courage to even be willing to go through that.
The pageant has attracted a wide variety of women. He
remembered one 72-year-old contestant who told him she
Feature Story
didnt even care if she won, she just wanted to give it a shot,
which has become something of a theme. He recalled one
woman, who worked as a brain surgeon, that always wanted to participate in a pageant but her life, between medical
school, her family and building a career, didnt allow her
the time. Competing was the fulfillment of a life-long goal.
Everyone should be given the option to reach for
[their goal], Marmel said.
Presenter Florence Henderson had to back out of this
years pageant due to a family emergency. Co-presenter
Bill Harris will be taking the helm, an eventuality he has
much experience with. He was the host during the pageant
in China last year as well.
The pageant organizers, from the founders to the writ-
ers and the photographers, have become a family, Harris

said.
Tickets are $30 for preliminary pageant at 7 p.m. on
Monday, Nov. 17 and $40 for the Mrs. World Pageant at
8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Tickets for entry into both
events are available for $50. Tickets are available at the
United Way office in Prince Frederick or Holiday Inn in
Solomons. Any money raised over the cost of expenses will
be donated to the United Way, Simpson said, and 25 percent
of ticket sales will be donated to Patuxent High School.

Ebola vs. Tobacco

I couldnt agree more with the sentiments expressed in Mr. John OHaras thoughtful letter (Ebola
vs. Tobacco, Nov 6).
Given the choice between high-speed DSL in every classroom and healthy former students, I am
convinced the great majority of school employees would opt for a tobacco-free community over the sin
tax.
Legal tobacco contributes to the deaths of 480,000 Americans annually.
Perhaps Beltway sniper John Allen Mohammad and accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo should have attached warning labels to the rifle rounds they used to kill 10 people. Then everything they did would
have been nice and legal.

Common Sense
and Integrity
Prevail in Election
By Susan Shaw
Calvert County Commissioner,
District 2
The election is over and words like shocking

and surprising are being heard and read. So, what
happened and what does it mean for all of us residents of Calvert County and Maryland?
The more urban, more populace, blue, predominately Democratic areas of Maryland remained blue in local and state elections. A look
at the map of Maryland is startling, but consistent. Only four jurisdictions out of 23 Counties and Baltimore City remained all Democratic:
Baltimore City, Charles, Montgomery, and Prince Georges Counties.
However, Republican Governor-elect Hogan, who de-emphasized
party through his Change Maryland initiative and who focused laserlike on economic issues and taxes, made sufficient converts to his way
of thinking to get elected state-wide. Hogans family and his running
mate, Boyd Rutherford, present a picture that crosses ethnic and racial
boundaries. What I LOVE about this statewide election win is that
the politics of division did not work including race, gender, ethnicity. Neither did the worst type of negative ads nor big money as Lt.
Governor Brown outspent Hogan several times over. Nor did bringing
in national figures to tell us for whom to vote as though we were all
sheeple succeed. How I hope that these tactics become out of favor in
future elections, too.
Of course, this analysis is an oversimplification of all the factors that played a part, including the tone-deafness of Annapolis as
spending and taxes increased in spite of a deep recession and repeated
attempts to tell them that the additional $400 per month that many
Marylanders are now paying in taxes and fees is intolerable to the
point where people and businesses are flooding out of state.
Looking across the state, Frederick County was a bit of an anomaly with three new elected offices and a pick-up of three Democrats.
However, of the remaining 19 counties, 11 elected all Republican
councils or commissions including Allegheny, Calvert, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Garrett, Harford, Queen Annes, St. Marys, Talbot, and
Washington. Of those 19, the elected leadership of 8 increased their
Republican leadership including Baltimore County, Dorchester, Harford, Howard, St. Marys, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester.
Despite Maryland becoming a little more balanced with a pickup of at least 7 Republican state delegates and 2 state Senators, the
Democrat majority still has firm control of the Maryland legislature.
For example, the state Constitutional amendment to require a 3/5ths
vote to spend transportation funding is easily achieved along party
lines with 91 Ds and 50 Rs in the House of Delegates and 33 Ds and
14 Rs in the State Senate. A true lockbox would require a 2/3rds vote
to make certain that members of both parties accede and 3/4ths would
truly represent the entire state.
Some similar welcome trends continued in Calvert County with
regard to Commissioner elections and state elections. Very negative,
sometimes called Prince Georges-style, political advertising was rejected in Calvert County. Neither did out-spending your opponent
guarantee a win. Many candidates worked very hard, going door to
door, showing up everywhere they could, and establishing a presence
for a future run, should they wish to do so. I know what a commitment it takes to set aside pretty much everything else in your and your
familys life to run for office. I heard candidates say that they didnt
realize how exhausting it is until they undertook it. I am so glad that
you did! We truly do need a choice and, ultimately, the opportunity
to say through our vote, whether your opinions best represent us at a
given point in time. Congratulations!! to ALL those who will lead us
for the next four years.

Winter Plants
Brighten Spaces
Spring and summer have the colorful blooms and rich greenery that make the
great outdoors so lush and inviting. Autumn is awash in vibrant colors that beckon
people outdoors to explore. But winter has a poor reputation with regard to natural
beauty. While its true that many plants and wildlife retreat into hibernation come
the colder temperatures, some choose the wintertime to bloom. Other plants and
shrubs continue to hold on to their leaves and color despite the cold.
Hardy winter plants do more than just survive the snow and ice. Many thrive
and have the potential to add that unexpected touch of color to an otherwise dreary
landscape.
In addition to berry bushes that can feature bright red, yellow and orange berries perfect for holiday decorating, plenty of other plants are visually appealing
through colder temperatures.
Mahonia: Some varieties of mahonias bloom in the winter and can be hardy
up to USDA Zone 9. The close relative Oregon grape holly will flower in very early
spring.
Camellia: Camellias grow flowers similar in shape and size to roses. They
range in shade from light pink to bright red. Camellias can bloom all year long in
moderate temperature zones. Even in colder zones, some cold climate hybrids can
continue to add welcome color to the garden.
Daphne: The fragrant flowers of many daphnes appear in mid-winter. The
variety Jacqueline Postill is evergreen.
Evergreen holly: Perhaps the evergreen holly is the quintessential winter
plant. Green shiny leaves and bold red berries can be a bright spot in a winter garden. A holly hedge also can serve as a wind and privacy barrier.
Japanese pieris: Flower buds on this shrub, sometimes called the Mountain
Fire, thrive from fall through winter. This shrub needs moist, well-drained soil
and should be placed in a shaded location in warmer climates.
Hellebore: Also called the Christmas Rose, hellebores can be delightful
in areas of the country where winter flowers tend to be rare. The plant bears pure
white flowers that often age to pink.
Snowdrop: These delicate white blooms often pop out of a layer of snow even
before the first crocuses of spring. Snowdrops can wait out harsh weather and even
extended snow events before eventually sprouting.
Crape myrtle: There are around 50 species of these trees and shrubs that are
native to parts of Asia and India. The trees bloom beautifully and continue to hold
on to their bright colored flowers in warmer climates.
Winter jasmine: If you want to create a mid-winter color splash, consider the
climbing winter jasmine, which is hardy in zones 5 to 10 and blooms in January.
Jelena witch hazel: These curly, odd-shaped blooms have a rich, copper color
and can bloom as early as January. This plant also is an orange-red color in autumn.
Kaffir lily: Also known as the
Red River lily, these perennials appear in the fall but can still bloom on mild
days in the winter. These plants prefer wet conditions.
Winter vegetables: Planting cabbage, spinach or swiss chard can give you
something fresh to eat through late autumn and even into winter if you have a
greenhouse or cold frame in the yard.
Winter may be characterized by dreary landscapes, but plenty of plant life
thrives in spite of the chill.

Calvert Hospice Benefits

from 13th Annual Michael
D. Schrodel Golf Classic
Family and friends once again gathered at Twin
Shields Golf Club in Dunkirk to support the annual Michael D. Schrodel Golf Classic. Just over 13 years ago,
Michael D. Schrodel passed away from cancer and left
behind a daughter, Carmen and beloved wife, Teresa. In
2002 a charity golf event was organized to not only raise
money but to also celebrate Michaels life.
"The Sigma Tau Gamma White Rose Alumni Association is very grateful for the support we've received
from local businesses and residents of Calvert County for
the past 13 years. So far, this event has helped us raise
over $85,000 and 100% of our net proceeds have been
donated to support three very good programs, Calvert
Hospice being one of them. We look forward to future
successful golf events and we will continue to support the
Calvert Hospice organization and the people that work
hard every day to make our world a better place, stated
Michael Vermillion, Director of Events-Michael D. Schrodel Golf Classic
We are so appreciative of this $2500 contribution
and even more fortunate to have Teresa Schrodel as one
of our Board members, said Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director of Calvert Hospice. Her support of our mission to provide the best care possible for patients and their
families in our community who are facing a life-limiting
illness is steadfast.
Carmen and I are humbled by the outpouring of
support from our family, friends and business colleagues
that have supported the Michael D Schrodel Golf Classic
since 2002, stated Teresa Schrodel. Michael fought a

brave battle and with Hospice care, was able to live his
remaining days in the comfort of his home surrounded
by his family and friends. He was grateful for this care
and wanted to give back to those that helped him during
our familys need. Michael wanted us to celebrate his
life, not mourn it, and the Golf Classic most certainly
does so.

Ghost Soldiers
in Leonardtown!
By Haley Wood
Contributing Writer
This isnt something I imagine up, said Patrick
Burke when asked about his novel, Ghost Soldiers of Gettysburg: Searching for Spirits on America's Most Famous
Battlefield.
Published this October, Burke has been working on
his novel since 2002, when he first visited Gettysburg for
paranormal research. It was co-authored with Jack Roth.
Sunday, Nov. 9, Patrick Burke was at Fenwicks Used
Book Store in Leonardtown to sign and promote his new
book.
Burke has been interested in history since a young
age, but did not become completely indulged in it until his
family friend, Colonel Bayer, asked him to help clean his
basement.
I think he had alternate intentions, Burke reasoned.
Burke explained that when the two were together, they
were constantly talking about history, and one day while in
the basement he discovered something worthy of his time.
It was the official reports of the battle of Gettysburg
that got me hooked on military history, Burke recalled.
What got him interested in the paranormal?
One night my bed was lifted up and slammed downthat started my journey in the paranormal. Burke answered. Since then, he has acquainted himself with the
paranormal, and has spent enough time with them that they
have begun to recognize him, Burke said.
The first four chapters delve into the scientific background of the ghosts and how the occurrences are captured,
Burke said. Using infrared video and other technologies,
Burke and Roths team is able to capture apparitions, vortexes, and more of the soldiers roaming the fields- which
are all explained in detail in the book.
Burke also made a point to mention Chapter 11, which
he claims to be a history changing chapter. The title
of this chapter is A Study of Paranormal Archaeology,
which he explains to be digging up history- without digging up the ground.
Burke, an Air Force veteran, has lived in Southern
Maryland since 1985, and has immersed himself in the
paranormal military history of our area. It started out as
a desire some people say it was a hobby, for me it was a
passion, Burke said.
This was always designed as a series, he said. The
next book will focus on the soldiers of the battle of Antietam, Burke said.
Barnes and Noble and Goodreads both rated this paranormal nonfiction novel 4/5, and the book is projected towards all lovers of science, history and the paranormal.
Ghost Soldiers of Gettysburg: Searching for Spirits
on America's Most Famous Battlefield can be purchased
at Fenwicks Used Books in Leonardtown or online at
Amazon for print or Kindle edition. For more information,
contact Burke at patrickthmg@yahoo.com.
