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.

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.

A Stitch in Time

When Chesapeake Bay Appliqu Society member Peggy Jo OBriens cousin came
to visit, the first thing she wanted to see was
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

Project Echo
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

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

The Calvert County Public Schools Special Education Department, in conjunction with Calvert Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee and Parent Connections, hosted the annual Teaching
and Learning Strategies Fair at Huntingtown High School on Tuesday,
Nov. 18.
The fair is an opportunity for parents, guardians and anyone who

ways to help students with academic and behavioral challenges, according to Director of Special Education Christy Harris.
The fair was split into four sessions reading for students in
pre-k, first and second grade, math strategies for students in second
through sixth grades, conflict prevention and de-escalation and understanding the difference between the thought process of a fully grown

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-
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 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.
