SMECO Donates to
Local Food Bank
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Nov. 6, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) donated 30,000
Energy Star certified compact fluorescent lights (CFL) to the Southern Maryland
Food Bank, which will benefit 7,500 families who receive help from the food bank.
Many customers look to our food bank to provide household items that they
may otherwise not be able to afford, Southern Maryland Food Bank Director Brenda
DiCarlo said.
According to a release from SMECO, the CFLs will help local families, who
are facing financial troubles lower their energy bills in order to use their limited resources for other necessities.
The ability to provide necessities, such as energy efficient light bulbs, can really help customers manage their monthly budgets and free up financial resources for
other needs, DiCarlo said.
We know that some of our customer-members face hardships in paying their
bills each month, SMECOs Energy and Technology Director Jeff Shaw said.
Providing CFLs to these customer-members will help them reduce their energy
usage, which reduces energy costs, he continued. Customers can save about $50 in
energy costs over the life of the bulb because CFLs use about 75 percent less energy
than standard incandescent bulbs.
The donation is part of the co-ops participation in EmPOWER Maryland programs, which is aimed to help reduce the states energy consumption by 15 percent
by 2015, according to the release.
Reducing lighting costs is the first step to saving energy and saving money.
We want customers to learn more about how they can save energy because thats an
expense they need to manage, Shaw said.
For more information on SMECOs energy efficiency programs visit, www.smeco.coop/save or call 1-888-440-3311.

Two Seriously
Injured in Crash

Authorities Believe
Deputy Hit Civilian Vehicle
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Sheriffs Office
CRASH Reconstruction Team is investigating a car collision involving an unmarked sheriffs car that occurred Tuesday Nov. 11 at the intersection of North
Prince Frederick Boulevard and Allnut
Court in Prince Frederick.
Authorities believe the police vehicle, a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe, which Dfc.
Roscoe T. Kreps III was operating, struck
a 2013 Toyota Corolla, seriously injuring
two men inside.
According to a release from police,
the driver of the Toyota, Viral D. Patel,
of Prince Frederick, sustained serious
injuries during the collision and was
transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital
(CMH). The front-seat passenger in the
Toyota was 65-year-old Jitewdra Mehta,
of Prince Frederick. Mehta was originally
taken to CMH in critical and unstable
condition. Mehta was then flown to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where

doctors have since upgraded his condition


to critical, but stable.
Kreps was transported to CMH and
treated for his minor injuries and released.
Authorities of the sheriffs department arrived at the scene around 5:52
p.m.; preliminary investigation revealed
the Tahoe was traveling southbound on
North Prince Frederick Boulevard and
approaching Allnut Court, the Toyota entered North Prince Frederick Boulevard
from Allnut Court in an attempt to continue northbound. The deputys vehicle
sustained front-end damage from the collision; the Toyota had severe damage to its
left side.
The investigation is currently on going and anyone who may have witnessed
the collision or has information pertaining to the car accident is encouraged to
contact Sgt. Vladimir Bortchevsky at
bortchvi@co.cal.md.us or 410-535-2800.

House Fire in
Prince Frederick

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Nov. 12 at 11:18 a.m. 50 volunteer firefighters from the Prince Frederick,
Huntingtown, St. Leonard, Dunkirk and North Beach departments responded to a
house fire at 6165 Sandy Point Road in Prince Frederick, after a neighbor reported
the blaze.
According to a release from the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the fire was
determined accidental and was caused as a result of an electrical event within one
of the bedroom outlets.
The fire caused an estimated $200,000 in damage to the one story single-family
home and was brought under control in 40 minutes.
Officials said the smoke alarm in the home was operating correctly.
Deputy Fire Marshal Melissa Decker, along with Deputy Fire Marshal Don
Brenneman, investigated the fire.
Decker stated the home sustained significant fire damage as a result of strong
winds coming off the Patuxent River.
Two adults and two children were displaced and are being assisted by family
and friends, she continued.
No injuries were reported and the homeowners were identified as Wesley and
Susan Lusby.

When Chesapeake Bay Appliqu Society member Peggy Jo OBriens cousin came

the new Southern Branch library in Solomons.
While there, she noticed a large, blank
wall and wondered why nothing was hanging
there. OBrien thought it was a good question,
and brought it to the Chesapeake Bay Appliqu Society. The women stepped up and decided to make two quilts.
The society intends to donate the quilts
to the Calvert Library Southern Branch in
Solomons. The library intends to install specialized hooks so the quilts can be hung on the
walls.
Both quilts incorporate books and nautical themes, OBrien said. The borders of the

Helping the Homeless Since 1993

Mix or Match any 1, 2, or 3 Gal. Size Plants

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Project Echo recently celebrated its fifth
anniversary in the house in Prince Fredrick.
According to Executive Director Trisha
Gipson, the anniversary was on Oct. 26.
Gipson has been with Project Echo for
four years.
In 1992, the Ecumenical Council of
Calvert County formed a task force to start a
homeless shelter. In 1993 Project Echos doors
opened with 16 beds. The current house can
accommodate 40 individuals. Children are
required to be with families. Normally, children come in with a single mother or both
of their parents. In the history of the shelter,
there have only been two single fathers with
children, Gipson said. There are family suites
on the womans floor of the house to accommodate mothers and children. Fathers sleep on
the mens floor.
When an individual comes to Project
Echo, they are encouraged to hang around the
house for a couple of days and get acclimated.
We get the person taken care of first,
Gipson said. Everything else will come with
time.
Everyone needs something different,
Gipson said, and Project Echo is equipped to
help people get back on their feet.
According to the Project Echo website, it
exists to provide the homeless with means
of temporary and emergency housing, and to
assist and enable such persons to move toward
obtaining independent housing.
Theyre not trying to reinvent the wheel,
Gipson said. Instead, they connect individuals
with resources they need, from computers to
apply for jobs, councilors to help individuals
with substance abuse issues and help finding
affordable housing.
There are no drugs or alcohol allowed in
the house, Gipson said. Smokers are required
to go outdoors.
The majority of the residents are employed and do not have substance abuse problems, but they come to Project Echo because

of the lack of affordable housing options in


the county.
The house has a supply of blankets,
pillows, towels and toiletries, which are
used to help people who come to the shelter with nothing of their own. They supply
laundry facilities at a cheaper rate than local
laundromats.
Local churches donate snacks and
meals for dinner daily, Gipson said. The
shelter holds a community meal every evening, followed by time for open discussion
among the adults. Children are given the option to watch a movie or participate in story
time in the house nursery.
Project Echo holds a number of fundraisers during the year to help augment donations and county funds.
One such fundraiser is the annual Turkey Trot 5K, held every year on Thanksgiving morning. Gipson gets
numerous calls during the year
from people wanting to volunteer at the shelter, especially
during the holiday season. The
Turkey Trot is an opportunity
for the community to help Project Echo. This years Turkey
Trot will be held on Nov. 27.
Registration begins at 6 a.m.
and the 5K begins at 7 a.m. The
Turkey Trop has very quickly
become one of Project Echos
most popular fundraisers.
It was a monster that took
on a life of its own, she said.
Other fundrsisers include
Empty Bowl Supper in March
and the upcoming roast of former senator Bernie Fowler in
May.

Letters to the Editor

2014 - The Year In Review

On Wednesday, Jan. 8, Calvert County Commissioner Susan Shaw met with the League of Women Voters at
Republican Party headquarters in Prince Frederick, for a
sparsely-attended, informal discussion of local issues.
Shaw is not seeking re-election when her term expires
at the end of 2014. She has assumed parenting responsibilities for a family member. Clad in a mauve pullover, Shaw
took the opportunity to endorse fellow Republican David
Craig. Shaw praised Craig, describing him as a self-made
man.
She said she has been pleased to be regarded as a
voice of reason in the community, and frequently hears
from voters that the county needs a woman an apparent reference to Craigs running mate, Jeannie HaddawayRiccio. She also praised fellow Commissioner Jerry Clark
for his negotiating skills. Shaw said the proposed Dominion
fuel liquefaction plant would add $55 million to the countys
budget. All guarding of plant facilities would be performed
by State Police, not a private security firm.

League president Peggy ODonnell downplayed concerns that the plant could become a magnet for terrorists.
ODonnell pointed out that nearby PAX Naval Station already makes the county a logical target.
Shaw lauded security at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear
plant. While declining to discuss particulars because it
amounted to waving a red flat at a bull, she said the plant
has consistently scored well in simulated attempted take
overs by the military.
Flanked by a 50-star American flag and cardboard cutouts of Sarah Palin and Abraham Lincoln, Tom Hejl, who
is running for Commissioner- at-large, discussed his background in law enforcement. A native of Baltimore City, Hejl
said he moved to Calvert in 1974, and said he received a
much friendlier reception his first day on the job.
Hejl worked in the states Narcotics division and as an
Investigator for the States Attorneys office before retiring
briefly in 1996 to start his own private security company.
He said he learned grant-writing from his mentor on the

Hejl appeared to bristle at a reference to a proposal by
Delegate Heather Miseur (D) to legalize marijuana. Hejl
described marijuana as a gateway drug, that virtually all
drug addicts were originally marijuana users, and called legalization disgusting. He said there is a nexus to drugs
in virtually every crime committed in the county. Hejl said
the 300 active chemicals in marijuana make it a controlled,
dangerous substance.
Turning to less controversial topics, Hejl said he would
fight to keep big box stores out of Calvert, improve the
condition of playing fields and streamline the process for
obtaining a business license.
Craig, a former educator, is known for his opposition of
the new Common Core standard.

From my Backyard to our Bay


A Calvert County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water

Environmental Issues in Your Backyard


From My Backyard to
Our Bay is a small but
powerful booklet that was
first developed by the
Baltimore Soil Conservation District. From there,
several counties republished a version tailored
to their county resources.
Calvert Countys booklet
was developed by the
Citizens Green Team.
FREE COPIES can be
obtained at Annmarie
Gardens, at local libraries,
or downloaded at
calvertgreenexpo.org.
If the 17.5 million
residents who live in
the Chesapeake Bay
watershed area read
this booklet, and took
to heart its suggestions
and best practices, the
Chesapeake Bay would
see a dramatic increase
in health.

Water Runoff Can Pollute


When we say From My Backyard to
Our Bay, there are two issues we need
to consider. We must first examine
the amount and speed of the water
that moves across the ground your
backyard. We must also consider the
contaminants the water picks up as it
crosses your yard on its way to the Bay
or its tributaries.
In a rainstorm, some rainfall infiltrates,
or soaks into the ground, and some
runs off. Infiltrated water percolates
through the soil and replenishes the

Improper yard maintenance


causes erosion.

groundwater that eventually supplies


water to wells. Runoff can cause
serious pollution problems.
For every house built, a considerable
expanse of impervious surface is added
area that cant absorb water. A vacant
lot can absorb rainfall over its entire
surface, but when roofs, sidewalks,
driveways, streets, and parking lots
are installed, all of the rainfall striking
these surfaces runs off with very little
infiltration. Runoff from residential
areas can quickly pick up pollutants on
its path to the nearest storm drain or
stream.
The most common pollutant is
sediment. Soil particles carried by
the runoff make muddy streams.
When runoff slows down enough, the
sediment settles out of the water and is
deposited. Pollutants such as fertilizers
or pesticides can be dissolved in runoff
or attached to sediment particles.
Other water-borne pollutants include
pathogens, fecal coliform (which
could come from wild animal or pet
waste), gas, oil, grease, and exhaust

particulates that wash off streets and


parking lots.
In suburban areas, runoff eventually
flows into the storm drain system,
headed for drinking water reservoirs
and the Bay. It is far easier and
more cost effective to solve pollution
problems at the source. Once polluted
runoff leaves your property, it becomes
a public problem and a much more
expensive one.

Sweep hard surfaces like


sidewalks, driveways and

broom instead of spraying
with a hose. Youll save
water and keep harmful
pollutants from getting in the
storm drains.

Leaf blowers are detrimental


to the environment. A 2011
test by the car experts at
Edmunds showed that a
consumer-grade leaf blower
emits more pollutants than
a 6,200-pound 2011 Ford
F-150 SVT Raptor.

Plant and Grow


If there are bare spots in
your yard, get busy planting.
Plants prevent erosion which
leads to soil being moved
through the watershed into
our streams and rivers.
If you have a particularly
difficult spot in an otherwise
sunny yard, build a raised
box and grow some healthy
vegetables like broccoli or
tomatoes.

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
On Friday Nov. 7, Gerri Miller, 46, of Huntingtown, was
arrested for violating a protective order and child abduction after she picked up her two children, ages 8 and 9, from Huntingtown Elementary School at 1:20 p.m.
At 1 p.m. that day, Miller was served with a protective order mandating she stay away from Huntingtown Elementary

According to police, on his second attempt to contact Miller via phone, Lewis was able to reach her, but stated she was

Stephen Miller attempted to contact the older child via


phone, but found it was turned off, according to police. Cpl. Evans then contacted Verizon Wireless in hopes of locating the

While in Custody
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
Investigators from the Maryland State Police Criminal
Enforcement Division are investigating the suicide attempt of
Lennox Thompson, 31, of Bowie, while in police custody at
the College Park Barrack.
Thompson is currently being treated at University of
Maryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore, according to officials.
On Nov. 14 around 11 p.m., Thompson was involved in
a car accident on the inner loop of I-495 at the BaltimoreWashington Parkway, according to a release from the Maryland State Police. The preliminary investigation revealed
Thompson was operating a 2006 Lexus passenger vehicle and
struck the vehicle in front of him, injuring two of the three
occupants in that vehicle, the release stated.
Due to the odor of alcohol, Thompson was asked to perform field sobriety tests and was subsequently arrested after
he failed all the sobriety tests. Thompson was also charged
with possession of illegal drugs. Charges are currently pending for the crash, the drug possession and the DUI, according
to officials.
According to the release from officials, on Nov. 15 at

12:45 a.m. Thompson was transported to the College Park


Barrack and placed in a cell while paperwork was being processed. His shoelaces and jacket were taken from him prior to
being placed in the cell, where barrack personnel checked on
him on regularly.
According to officials, around 5:45 a.m., a trooper
checked on Thompson and informed him he would be transported to the Office of the Court Commissioner; at 6 a.m. the
trooper came back and found Thompson with his sweater
tied around his neck, attempting to asphyxiate himself.
The trooper immediately cut the sweater off of him and
performed chest compressions to open his airways; Thompson began to cough and was placed in a recovery position,
according to the release.
Medics were immediately called and arrived at the barrack to transport him to Washington Adventist Hospital for
further treatment, according to officials.
Thompson is currently being treated at Shock Trauma
for his injuries as the investigation continues, according to
officials.

Huntingtown High
School Encourages
Band Participation
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
The Huntingtown High School band program has a place for any student interested in
music.
Being in the band boosts confidence and promotes teamwork in students, said Director
of Bands Don Naumann.
Theyve always got to collaborate, whether they know it or not, Naumann said.
Huntingtown is wrapping up the 2014 marching band season, having competed in the
Tournament of Bands, having come in 10th place out of 26 bands at the championships at
Hershey Park on Oct. 26.
According to the marching band website, in only 10 years time the HHS marching
ensemble has earned the reputation as one of the finest competitive marching units in the
Mid-Atlantic Region. The organization will require your hard work and dedication. It will
also be one of the most rewarding and happiest experiences of your high school life.
The students, in any of the bands, practice long hours to be successful. The marching
band even begins practicing before the school year begins.
With the marching band season finished, Naumann is planning for the winter, including a holiday concert involving the band and choir students.
The band department welcomes all parents to attend our monthly booster meetings and
support their students.
Band booster meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of every month at the
high school.

Creating a
Businesses Friendly Calvert

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Both state and local officials have been
working hard to make Calvert County, and
the rest of Maryland, more welcoming for
new businesses.
Many people feel like the regulations
imposed at the sate level have hampered
existing businesses, said Delegate Tony
ODonnell (R-29C).
Some of the legislations harming businesses involve signage and taxes such as the
Businesses Personal Property Tax.
Since 2007, Maryland has lost 38,000
middle class households, according to Delegate Mark Fisher (R-27B).
Thats an astonishing number, he
said, adding that the first priority in the next
legislative session should be finding creative
ways to create jobs in the state nd prevent
individuals from moving to find work.
Much of the tax burden on businesses
comes from the state, Fisher said. If Calvert
County were to eliminate the Business Personal Property Tax, it would be the first jurisdiction in Maryland to actually eliminate
a tax category.
I think thats the most important single issue, Fisher said.
ODonnell is sure that new businesses
lured to Calvert for the tax break could make
up lost revenue from the Business Personal
Property Tax.
According to Department of Budget
and Finance Tim Hayden Business Personal
Property Tax has two categories corporate
and non-corporate. In fiscal year 2014, the
Business Personal Property Tax revenue
was $2,5800,000.
In addition to the tax burden,
ODonnell sees potential opportunities to
promote business growth being wasted.
The Patuxent Business Park in Lusby
has sat painfully empty in Calvert Coun-

ty, ODonnell said.


In the early 2000s, Calvert County
government worked with the Maryland
Economic Development Corporation
(MEDCO) to acquire the Chesapeake Hills
Golf Course and the land for the Patuxent
Business Park.
According to the Patuxent Business
Park website, MEDCO is a public instrumentality of the State of Maryland
which enables the State of Maryland to
develop property for economic purposes.
MEDCO provides financing, technical and
marketing assistance to existing, new and
potential business ventures in the areas of
Maryland that are experiencing economic
distress.
MEDCO assists state and local economic development agencies in expanding
and retaining existing businesses and attracting new ones. It also develops and rehabilitates industrial sites.
Before the land was acquired, there
were thoughts of parceling it out for heavy
industrial projects. When the county purchased it, they did a comprehensive plan and
determined light industrial projects, which
the business park is currently zoned for,
were best for the surrounding community.
The reason the Patuxent Businesses
Park has been empty for so long is because when the infrastructure was finally
in place and the Department of Economic
Development could begin advertising for it,
the economy crashed. But things are looking up in the last 12 months, a number
of businesses have shown serious interest
in the businesses park, said Department of
Economic Development Director Linda S.
Vassallo.
There are two large energy assets,
Dominion Cove Point and Calvert Cliffs
Nuclear Plant, within 10 minutes of the
business park. Support facilities for both
entities could find a home there, ODonnell

Photos by Frank Marquart

said. He intends to propose creating a taskforce to study the Patuxent Business Park
during the upcoming 2015 legislative session to find ways to encourage businesses to
locate and break ground there.
With a new governor, a new general assembly and new Board of County Commissioners, the state has been given a great
opportunity to Carpe Diem, seize the day,
and have a course correction, ODonnell
said. The next four years could see a statewide economic revitalization, with businesses locating and growing in Maryland
instead of leaving to find a state with a more
reasonable price of doing business.
The recent interest in the Patuxent
Business Park is indicative of an upturn in
the local economy overall, Vassallo said.
Businesses that were once worried
about closing are now thinking about expanding and hiring more employees, she
said.
The county has a number of incentive
packages ready for businesses wanting to
locate in the county or expand within the
county. These packages vary according to

the size of the business and what kind of


help the business needs.
Small businesses often need more support, but they are the bread and butter
of the economy, Vassallo said. The county
offers services to help businesses find employees and can connect business owners to
resources for employee training.
Generally speaking, local businesses
are beginning to get more customers and
potential business owners are finding it easier to get financing. The problem now is finding space for businesses to expand, which is
a good problem to have, Vassallo said.
To continue offering services that
will most befit local business owners, the
Department of Economic Development
conducts regular site visits and an annual
survey

CENTERS CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY

A lot of planning goes into a wedding, and Dawn


Tuckers Wedding and Party Expo, held Sunday, Nov. 16.
at the Calvert County Fairgrounds, was a wealth of information for couples looking to get married. Supported by
the Calvert County Minority Business Alliance, 24 vendors were available for participants to engage with in between events including fashion and hair shows.
Between the 24 vendors, every aspect of planning a
wedding was covered. Catering? Cuttys Rock N Ribs,
LLC and JTs kitchen were present to offer their services.
According to Natalie Holland, co-owner of Cuttys
Rock N Ribs, the restaurant caters events like weddings,
employee picnics and county fairs throughout Maryland
and Virginia, providing quality food and specials including BBQ, ribs and pulled pork without a booking turnaround. Anytime is the right time.
JTs Kitchen caters weddings, birthdays and other
parties, and will even allow you to enjoy your party in their
restaurant if you so desire, according to employee Kyrstin
Wainwright, who stated that all of the food at JTs Kitchen
is delicious, with no particular specials, because its all
fantastic. The restaurant is family friendly and children
are welcome. Not only would JTs Kitchen like to support
you, the restaurant and catering business enjoyed supporting the expo.
We were pleased to support the local Southern
Maryland Wedding and Party Expo. We like networking
within local groups and businesses, and we invite all local
residents to come out and enjoy fresh, wholesome food,
said owner Frank Taylor.
Looking for quality wines to drink or give as party
favors? Independent wine consultant Terri Reaves of Wine
Shop at Home was there to help, presenting a display of
merlots and chardonnays wrapped in custom labels made
specially for the bride and groom. Wine Shop at Home
releases four new wines every month, so their supply is
always rotating, Reaves said, so check them out as soon
as you can!
If you have wine, what are you going to put it in?
How about hand painted wine glasses from Nikkicoles
Creations, painted by Nicole Rice for your special occasion? If you prefer mugs or shot glasses, she paints those
too. Rice also creates specialty wedding signs, and even
her own line of all natural mineral makeup. You can mix
and match it to create your own lipstick and foundation
colors, Rice said.
If youre looking for wine glasses, knife sets or other
necessities for reasonable prices, take a gander at Big Day
Essentials, who provides all of these things and more for
prices you wont be able to pass up, according to certified
planner Carolin Goslin-McCoy. Also provided by Big Day
Essentials are custom stationary, to be used for engagement announcements, wedding invitations and the likes.
And if youre looking for more, a variety of new and used
wedding gowns is also available.
Crystals Bride and Tuxedo was also ready and willing to provide assistance, and is currently preparing for a
couple of bridal shows, said owner and wedding specialist
Crystal Williams.
When looking for the perfect jewelry to match your
perfect dress, consider consulting Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry and Dickinson Jewelers.
We specialize in fine wedding jewelry, jeweler Alison Setzer of Dickinson Jewelers said, We carry jewelry
from Gabriel, Pandora, Simon G. and Frederic Sage, to
name a few. Dickinson Jewelers is having a bridal event
on Saturday, Nov. 22, so be sure to stop by! Setzer also
mentioned that if a customer fills out a wish list at the jewelry store before Dec. 21, they have the opportunity to win
a $1000 shopping spree toward that wish list. Dont miss
out!
The wedding expo even included transportation businesses like Reid and Reid, Inc. and Smart Ride, who transport large groups for events.
Dont worry about drinking and driving, said Sherri Reid of Reid and Reid, Inc., Well be your designated
driver.
Well take care of guests, you take care of marrying
the person of your dreams, said Triana Carter of Smart
Ride.
For participants in search of event planners, business-

es like Ador Event Planning by Annette and Jones and


James Company, LLC were at hand.
Annette Nelson, owner of Ador Event Planning by
Annette, offers her services for private events like weddings, birthdays and corporate get togethers. She recently
had a launch party on Oct. 4, and is looking to have another
in Spring 2015, she said.
Jones and James Company, LLC, owned by Gwendolyne James, is an event planning and decor business
looking to help you and yours. The company was a sponsor of the expo, said James daughter Tishima Haidara, and
they participated in order to draw attention to their cause.
Not a lot of planners are publicized, Haidara said,
We wanted to get our name out there.
Destinations 365 Travel, a member of the Calvert
County Minority Business Alliance, showed up to help
couples plan their perfect trip.
That trip they see in their head, thats what we want
to give them, said co-owner Shanell Nero, We want to
give our wedding clients the trip they always pictured.
Also present were Andrea Chris Banks and Bryant
Parker. Banks, of Exit Realty, wanted to stress to young
couple the benefits of buying a house after marriage, rather
than renting one. Parker was present to offer his expertise
in martial arts, weight loss and financial services.
Dawn Tucker always gives a great event, he said,
Theyre always well put together and organized, and I always get a lot of customers when I come. He praised not
only event organizer Tucker, but Calvert County and its
residents.
Calvert has been good to my business and the people
have been wonderful to do business with, Parker said.
Other vendors present included IMADIs SWAG Salon, My Creations Hair Studio, The Victorian Candle Bed
& Breakfast, JM Nightlife Entertainment, Uplights and
Showlights by O, Bridal Accessories and Alterations at
its best by Weezy, Dawn Coby: Independent Mary Kay Director, Nabers Photos and RS Graphx, Inc..
Dawn Tucker, who put the whole event together, was
pleased with the expos results.
This is the first time weve done this type of expo,
Tucker said, But I think its gone really well. Everybody
felt they got what they came for, felt we covered all the
parts of parties and weddings. The vendors were happy,
everyone got what they needed.
This was the first wedding expo Tucker organized,
but it may not be the last. Be on the look out for more
events like this coming your way!

and Party Expo, please contact Dawn Tucker at 410-5356849, 443-532-453, or info@calvertcountymba.org.

Presenting the professionals' favorite properties on the market.

Time to Talk Turkey


Few foods receive the fanfare
of turkey come the holiday season.
The National Turkey Federation says
Americans eat 46 million turkeys each
Thanksgiving and another 22 million
on Christmas. An additional 19 million enjoy turkey as part of their Easter
celebrations.
Though turkey is enjoyed throughout the year, it is most popular during
the holiday season. Some celebrants
may want to know more about this beloved bird before sinking their teeth into
their next holiday meal. The following
turkey tidbits may surprise you.
Turkeys are large game birds that
are closely related to chickens, pheasants and quail.
The turkeys scientific name is
meleagris gallopavo, which is the wild
turkey from which the domesticated
turkey many people eat descends. There
is another species of turkey known as
the ocellated turkey, which is native to
the Yucatn Peninsula in Mexico.
By the early 1900s, the wild turkey neared extinction. Restoration projects have increased the number of turkeys from approximately 30,000 birds
back then to nearly seven million now.
Despite their size, turkeys can fly
in the wild. They often perch in trees to
sleep to protect themselves from predators. Some domesticated turkeys may
not fly because they have been bred to
be overly large to produce more breast
meat.
The heaviest turkey ever raised
was 86 pounds.
A male turkey is called a tom
or a gobbler, while female turkeys
are referred to as hens. Only the male
will make the familiar gobbling sound,
which is used to attract mates.
A hen is smaller than a gobbler
and does not have the distinctive beard
of modified feathers that gobblers have
on their breasts. Males also have sharp
spurs on their legs for fighting.
Male and female turkeys also can
be differentiated by their droppings.

Male droppings are spiral-shaped, while


females look like the letter J.
Both genders of turkey have
snoods (the dangling appendage on the
face) as well as red wattles under their
chins.
A hen can lay about 10 to 12 eggs
over a period of two weeks. The eggs
will incubate for 28 days before hatching. Baby turkeys are called poults.
Turkeys and peacocks may look
similar, but they are not closely related.
Turkeys have excellent vision due
to their eyes being located on the sides
of their head. This gives the birds periscopic vision.
The gizzard is a part of the turkeys stomach that contains tiny stones
that the bird has swallowed. The stones
facilitate the digestion process.
Benjamin Franklin did not support the bald eagle as the nations symbol, feeling the turkey would be a better
choice. In a letter to his daughter, he
wrote, He [bald eagle] is a rank coward; the little king-bird, not bigger than
a sparrow, attacks him boldly and drives
him out of the district. For in truth, the
turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. Eagles have been
found in all countries, but the turkey
was peculiar to ours
Turkeys will have 3,500 feathers
at maturity. Rumor has it the costume
worn by the Sesame Street character
Big Bird is made of turkey feathers.
The turkey shares its name with a
country. But why? A turkey bears some
resemblance to the guinea fowl. Though
it is native to eastern Africa, the guinea
fowl was imported to Europe through
the Ottoman Empire and came to be
called the turkey-cock or turkeyhen. When settlers in the New World
began to send similar-looking fowl back
to Europe, they were mistakenly called
turkeys.
Despite an abundance of turkeys
being eaten between November and
January, June is National Turkey Month.

The winning team of the Pub Quiz The Scalliwags

By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
The Friends of Calvert Library hosted its semi-annual
Pub Quiz Friday Nov. 14 at the Prince Frederick Library.
The event was a trivia style game in which participants
answered questions ranging from pop culture to American
history; participants were prohibited from using their cell
phones during the event. Quiz Master Bill Chambers
hosted the questionnaire. Friends of the Calvert Library,
which is a non-profit organization, sponsored the night and
all the proceeds went toward the library. Calvert Library
Director Carrie Plymire said the money will go toward
childrens programs at the library, furniture, equipment
and conferences and classes for the library staff.
Its one of those events we really look forward to because its a fun time and a great opportunity for the public
to come out and support the library, Plymire said.
Participants and spectators had to be 21 or older; beer
and wine was offered at the event for $5. Guests could
also purchase water and soda for $1. The library provided
snacks, such as popcorn and chips, for attendees.

Librarian and volunteer Lisa Wieland said the Pub


Quiz is a really popular event and people ask for it once
a month.
There were 15 teams at the event, up to 16 were allowed; teams could have a maximum of six people.
Calvert County Commissioners Evan Slaughenhoupt
(R), Mike Hart (R) and Steve Weems (R) were on a team
together along with three other teammates.
Commissioner Pat Nutter (R) and former Maryland
delegate Sue Kullen (D) were also at the event.
The prizes at the event included a free book, which 29
people won; a beer basket; a wine basket and $129 from a
raffle drawing. The Scalliwags won the Pub Quiz and
were awarded the grand prize of $300.
The next Pub Quiz will be on Friday, March 13, 2015
at the library in Prince Frederick. The library is located
at 850 Costley Way in Prince Frederick. For more information on this event and other events at the library visit,
