NAWC-AD Wants To Reassert Its Importance


By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer

Since the construction of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station more than 70 years ago
its core mission has always been to research,
develop, test and evaluate new aircraft and related systems for the U.S. Navy but when Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) came
to make its home there, some defense industry
insiders are worried that the bases image as a
hub for engineering and testing excellence has
been overshadowed.
It is not difficult to see why. NAVAIR deals
primarily in acquistion of weapons and other
systems and is a massive $40 billion-a-year
entity. The Naval Air Warfare Center-Aircraft
Division (NAWC-AD,) which is a subordinate
command to NAVAIR, in comparison does $3
billion each year in defense business and is the
heir to what used to be the Naval Air Test Center at Patuxent River.
The difference though, is that NAWC-AD

is where the real work is done to ensure the


future of naval aviation, insiders say.
The perception were concerned with is
that after the BRAC [base realignment and
closure] the Pentagon interfaces more with
NAVAIR than with NAWC-AD, said Bob
Wirt, executive director of the Southern
Maryland Navy Alliance and former F-18 test
pilot. The branding behind the image of naval aviation is getting lost in the quagmire of
bureaucracy.
That branding, as a place where naval aviation is king and the chief attraction for work
is the chance to actually touch cutting edge
aircraft and technology, is important to make
sure the best and brightest engineers and scientists, often just out of college, will come to
work here.
That continual flow of new talent is needed,
Wirt said, not just to ensure NAWC-AD continues to be competitive and relevant but that
the country continues to get the best aircraft
and weapons it can.

That, very definitely, is a real challenge,


Wirt said. Getting them to come here.
Apparently, leadership at NAWC-AD is interested in reasserting its imporatance in the
scheme of the naval air station, since Leslie
Taylor, the executive director at the command,
is set to give a presentation this month to the
Patuxent Partnership about the importance the
activity still holds.
If the brand of NAWC-AD is being obscured by its larger cousin at NAVAIR, then
bureacracy and even higher policy is keeping
it from reaching its full potential, said County
Commissioner Todd Morgan, who for 35 years
has worked in the defense contractor industry.
He said that many other government agencies realize the engineering and scientific testing infrastructure NAWC-AD has to offer and
want to have their project work done here,
whether it be drone systems for special operations or border patrol and drug enforcement
agencies.
The problem, he said, is that policy at the

Pentagon level makes it difficult for funding to


be committed to work at NAWC-AD for projects other than naval aviation.
This is a goldmine waiting to be opened,
Morgan told The County Times. I think they
could do more.
Our argument is that its all taxpayer money at the end of the day.
Wirt said that personnel at NAWC-AD
were aware of the limitations they faced.
Pax River works very hard but not always
very smart because of policy, Wirt said.
Theyd prefer not to do it that way.
NAWC-AD had to reassert itself, Wirt said,
so it could stay at the top of its game both with
technology and with those who make that
technology possible.
There is not a technology infrastructure
like this one anywhere else, Wirt said. Its
second to none. You never want to get behind
the power curve.

Support Blossoms For Florists After Building Destroyed


By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
About a month ago Aut and Connie
Fuller had their lives nearly shattered
when a motorist crashed into their Floral
Expressions business of nearly 30 years,
setting the building on fire and wiping
out virtually everything they had.
But the couple didnt stop working to
keep their business going and with help
from the local community they are set
to reopen at a new location. Its a bittersweet moment, Aut said, since despite
staying open under the most difficult of
circumstances he realizes is will take a
long time to even come close to the level
of business they were doing.
The insurance wont cover 30 years
of loss, he told The Calvert County
Times, adding, though, that the commu-

nity almost immediately came together


to help them reestablish themselves.
The crash occurred at about 12:30 a.m.
Jan. 6 and it was 14-degrees outside in
Owings that morning, Aut said, but that
didnt stop other business owners they
knew from coming out to help them.
One of the first was Maryland Country Caterers, he said, who provided
sandwiches, hot chocolate and more
importantly a place to work, Aut said.
They provided a space in their warehouse for the husband and wife team,
along with their staff, to continue filling
floral arrangement orders. They had a
funeral to provide flowers for the very
next day, Aut said, and they couldnt afford to renege on their orders.
Moreover, they had weddings and
other engagements for which they had
floral orders to fill. Clients offered to re-

lease them from their obligations and go


find other providers, Aut said, but they
refused and continued working to fill
orders.
This week they have moved out of the
caterers warehouse and now have a new
storefront on Cox Road.
Its been amazing, Aut said of the
communitys support. People have
been so generous.
Social media posts about their plight
quickly made their way around the country, he said, and other florists soon began
sending in money to help them become
operational again.
People just sent checks, $50 here,
$100 there, Aut said.
Dwayne Crawford, owner of Family
Auto Care, has been central to helping
the Floral Expressions crew, Aut said.
Crawford said he was one of the first

out on the scene of the crash to give


them hugs of support.
The Fullers have paid it forward in
our community for the past 30 years,
Crawford said. We wanted to let them
know they were not alone.
Crawford organized an online auction
in which 56 businesses each donated an
item for bidding; the end result of the
auction was $6,400 raised to help out the
Fullers, he said.
For now the Fullers are busy trying to
rebuild their business, but they are confident that they will succeed with the help
of their many friends.
Were still here, Aut said. Were
not giving up.

Commissioners Corner SELLING A CAR?


Zoning, Permitting,
LOOKING FOR
and Code Enforcement
A BABYSITTER?
The Inspections and Permits part of Calvert County government is one of the areas
which capture the attention of many citizens
and business leaders. From curiosity as to why
certain land use rules are in effect, so much
of what this organization does is to implement
Maryland State Land Use Laws. The other
area the organization addresses are local ordinances developed over many years as a means
to keep Calvert County as rural as possible.
The current Board of County Commissioners is focusing more upon making the town
centers more business friendly to support economic development to complement the desire
of keeping the whole of the county as rural as
possible.
This part of our Community Planning and
Building organization is more so than the undeserved reputation of always saying NO to
any idea or question. Over several years, a
customer first initiative assisted improving
the philosophy of the organization into one
that takes the approach of how can we help
you achieve what you want.
This organization performs a role of assisting or preparing referrals for appeals of zoning ordinance. If a citizen takes issue with the
current zoning or county interpretation, there
is a process to submit to the Board of Appeals
to seek remedy. The staff is known to suggest
individuals take this approach; many do, while
some simply instead decide to publically fight
or cast aspersions upon this organization. Because of the complexity of zoning laws, the
county staff needs and has advanced professional experience in understanding and interpreting zoning ordinance.
At times, it becomes apparent that existing zoning ordinances caused for unintended
consequences, and changes are needed; at
times stemming from issues learned through

the Board of Appeals process.


Sometimes, a County Commissioner recognizes a zoning issue exists and
directs the staff to find a means to improve the
appropriate ordinance through a text amendment. The staff manages the text amendment
process from draft through public hearing and
adoption. They prepare Text Amendments for
the Board of County Commissioners as well as
county citizens who propose them. Any citizen
can propose changes to the zoning ordinance.
A detailed and time consuming process is in
place working with staffs advanced professional experience in understanding and interpreting zoning ordinance. One goal sought is
to understand and minimize unintended legal
consequences of these text amendments.
Our first in the nation Agricultural Preservation and Transferrable Development Rights
Programs are managed by this organization.
Recently, changes were made to assist the vitality of these programs having successfully
coordinated a win-win between the agriculture and development communities.
Our staff spends much time providing customer support by explaining and verifying
zoning, home occupation requirements, parking regulations, setbacks, and other zoning
and building requirements. They review Permits for Building, Grading, Cell Tower, Home
Occupation, Sign, Commercial use, Business
License..
Additionally, to Promote Calverts Cultural
Heritage and Administer Calvert County Historic District Program, our staff reviews projects for Impact on Historic and Archaeological
Sites.

4th Annual Calvert County Restaurant Week


By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer

Calvert County restaurants are gearing up for the 4th Annual Restaurant
Week. This year, 26 restaurants are participating in this culinary event.
From Feb. 19 through 28 restaurants
will put forward a fixed menu that offers either on-menu or off-menu items.
These menus have discounted or set
prices for their meals and some restaurants will offer these promotions for
both lunch and dinner.
For example, one of the restaurants
Salsaritas Fresh Cantina who have been
participating in Restaurant Week since
its beginning, will be offering a createyour-own quesorito with chips and salsa
for just $10.
A new restaurant to the area, Brick
Wood Fired Bistro, will be offering offmenu items to their customers.
Their menu came together after a discussion with the owner and his chefs
about what they would like to do, what
they havent done before, and what
would be right for the area.
We wanted to do something offmenu, we didnt want customers that
have dined here before to come in during Restaurant Week and see the status
quo, said one of the three owners Jason
Nagers. We created our menu based on
our concept, which is wood-fired cuisinewe do a majority of our cooking
in the ovens in one way or another.
They also are very conscious of the
local resources available. Brick Wood
Fired Bistro uses a lot of local beer,
meats, cheeses, and ice cream.
Whatever we can get our hands on,
said Nagers.
According Nagers, one of the lunch
menu items, a burger, plays off of the
classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Their PB&J Burger will feature a habanero, strawberry jelly, peanut butter,
an in-house ground burger with bacon,

all on a homemade bun. The burger is


served with fries, chips, or a side salad
and comes with a drink.
Since they opened just four months
ago on Sept. 14, 2015, this will be their
first year participating in Restaurant
Week and they are excited to share
their culinary expertise with Southern
Maryland.
Calvert Countys Department of Economic Development began Restaurant
Week as a way to boost business for restaurants during their slow season. Typically after the holidays, restaurants see
fewer customers than normal as people
tend not to eat out, especially when the
weather isnt cooperative.
Restaurant Week, which has been
done in many cities already, was a good
way to get people out and appreciating
Calverts culinary specialties.
Calvert is very diverse, said Mark
Volland the Marketing Communications Specialist from the Department of
Economic Development. It has everything from the chain restaurants to the
local mom and pop restaurants. It made
sense to highlight county restaurants to
show exactly whats offered here. There
is quite a bit, even some that people may
not know about.
Their first year, 2013, had 35 restaurants, and their highest was last
year with a total of 39 restaurants
participating.
Its been popular, said Volland, saying that high participation and positive
feedback from both patrons and restaurants is why it continues.
The Department of Economic Development also wanted to bring tourism to
the county and show people within the
region what Calvert, the smallest county in Maryland, has to offer.
While they are in Calvert County
going to a restaurant, they are also seeing other things that they want to come
back and explore, said Volland. So
its really a part of broader tourism

program.
Volland said, according to the surveys, they have already seen patrons
from outside of the county.
And its success has been recognized.
Next week, on Feb. 9, Restaurant Week
will be rewarded with a proclamation
given by the County Commissioners.
Calvert will also hold a contest for
the customers that participate in Restaurant Week. If they save their receipt,
they can go online and fill out a survey,
which makes them eligible for a prize.
From previous years, prizes included
gifts cards to restaurants and baskets
with a collection of things from Calvert
County, like gift cards to local hotels
and bottles of wine from local wineries.
The winners of the contest will be
announced on March 22 at the Calvert County Board of Commissioners
meeting.
Were proud of Restaurant Week and
we hope that people will come out again
this year, said Volland.
To find out more information on Restaurant Week, visit the
website at www.choose c a lve r t .c o m / r e s t a u rantweek. The website
includes the comment
form, the interactive map
that gives an overview of
all the Restaurant Week
sites with descriptions,
a FAQ section, and a list
of the participating restaurants. The list includes
the phone numbers for
reservations, links to the
restaurants websites, and
the full menus they created for the week. You

Maryland Comptroller Visits CSMs La Plata Campus


Franchot Encourages Nursing Students on Future Employment
During his visit to Charles
County Feb. 1, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot toured the
College of Southern Maryland
and was briefed on college programs by CSM President Dr.
Brad Gottfried, CSM Trustee
Chair Dorothea Smith, Calvert
Commissioner Steve Weems and
Charles County Registrar of Wills
Loraine Hennessy.
During the briefing on CSMs
new Regional Campus which will
house the Center for Trades and
Energy Training (CTET), Franchot said, The private sector is
desperate for trained people. The
economics is changingthese
blue collar jobs used to be looked
down on in favor of a college
education. These are good jobs,
high paying jobs. CTET will be
moving from an 18,000 squarefoot leased facility in Waldorf to
a 30,000 square-foot facility in
Hughesville.
Future plans for the Regional
Campus include a Health Sciences facility accessible to students
from throughout Southern Maryland. Our goal is to centralize
programs, such as health sciences,
that would be too expensive to
replicate on each campus, said
Gottfried.
Franchot also visited the classroom of Professor Kathleen Parsons where he told third-semester
nursing students that the economy
is changing and that future growth
in jobs will be in healthcare.

Contributing Writer
Cam Newton is a direct young
man. The greater Charlotte areas
euphoria still simmered after the
Panthers 49-15 destruction of the
Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game when Newton dropped
this nugget at a press conference: I
said it since day one, Im an AfricanAmerican quarterback. That may
scare a lot of people because they
havent seen nothing that they can
compare me to.
Wow. So much for setting an even
pace and avoiding controversy during the obsessive two-week media
buildup to the Super Bowl. Newton
looked the world in the eye critics and supporters alike and introduced the elephant in the room.
I love it.
Twenty-eight years ago, Doug
Williams became the first AfricanAmerican quarterback to start and
win a Super Bowl. As significant
as Williamss accomplishment was,
it proved not to be revolutionary: It
took 26 years for Russell Wilson to
finally match Williamss feat.
The NFL, the quarterback position and race is and will remain an
issue. I dont know NFL player demographics, but my eyes tell me that
a majority are African-American,
yet only five of 32 teams had an African-American as its primary starting quarterback. Thats not necessarily an NFL issue a quarterback
is trained long before his NFL eligibility but its a curious (is that
the right word?) situation the league
advertises, via its massive stage, every year.
Newtons race isnt the issue it
once was, but it still matters. Most
people dont care; but some, sadly,
still do. Incomprehensible, racebased hate lingers. Despicable people like Dylann Roof walk among
us. And, despite progress, a pathetic
segment of the population still has
an issue with Newton just because
his skin is a different hue.
So Im glad Newton threw some
verbal haymakers. Ive been drawn
to him all season; bluntly acknowledging the truth that he navigated
an additional level of complexity in
his career - just adds to his appeal
and what prompted me to write this
piece in the first place: Newtons
amazing growth as a man, leader
and quarterback.
The pre-2015 version of Newton

was often and fairly criticized for


having terrible body language. Adversity caused Newton to visibly
mope, place a towel over his head
or sit alone on the bench. Situations could get the better of him and
he felt entitled to disconnect from
the moment. It wasnt a good look,
especially from the franchise quarterback, the supposed leader of the
team.
This season, Newtons been different: Hes taught a nation to Dab,
hes handing footballs to kids after
touchdowns and has an infectious,
perma-smile affixed to his face.
Newton set a positive tone early in
the season, backed it up with his
play and got his teammates to buyin. His self-confidence and comfort
in his own skin is apparent; the joy
he exudes is refreshing. This is a
young man who is obviously aware
of his detractors, but he has grown
impervious to the negativity.
Newtons transformed non-verbal
communications have resulted in
a 17-1 record, a birth in the Super
Bowl and a likely MVP award for
the once sulking quarterback. Im
not a huge believer in mystical forces but Newtons positive energy has
had a palatable impact on the team.
You can feel Carolinas togetherness. Theyre a pro football team
having college-like fun.
While watching Newton, two local athletes come to mind: Stephen
Strasburg and Bradley Beal. Strasburg and Beal, despite being young,
wealthy and insanely talented, are
both oddly inclined toward melancholy. Nagging injuries and pouty
looks are common; smiles are not.
Its hard to tell if they are playing
a sport or forcing down vegetables.
The vibe I get from them is they
expect something to go wrong, as
if they have some fatal attraction to
darkness and fear the light.
Not everyones a cheerleader, but
attitude is a controllable component
of success. As Stephen Covey once
said, Sometimes the most proactive
thing we can do is to just genuinely smile. Is Newton a 7-Habits
junkie? Probably not, but hes living
Coveys point and the results are inarguable. Strasburg and Beal should
take notice. I suppose we all should.
Group Dab anyone?

Art Exhibit Opening: Artists in Action


Workshop
Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center - 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A few months each year, Annmaries
spectacular Main Gallery is transformed
from exhibition space into artist studios,
allowing visitors the opportunity to appreciate the artistic process as well as
the product. Annmarie seeks artists
working in any media to submit proposals to set up a working studio space in
the Main Gallery for 1-2 week periods.
These studios utilize the artists own supplies and equipment. Artists work in their
studios demonstrating their processes
and techniques to curious visitors. Artists
are also afforded space to hang artwork
for sale within the gallery for the duration
of their studio time. It is our goal to expose visitors to the working process of
artistsfrom concept to finished product. As such, this show is ideal for artists working on a large project or series.
Artists must be willing to speak with visitors informally about their work and their
process. Overnight accommodations
for out-of-town artists are available on a
first-come, first-serve basis. Through this
exhibition, artists gain exposure, sell artwork, and work in a free studio space in a
beautiful setting. This is a nice occasion
for a serene retreat to immerse yourself in
your artwork. Future group or solo show
opportunities may also be awarded.
