Mini-grants Available
For Substance Abuse
Prevention Programs
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
Calvert Alliance Against Substance
Abuse (CAASA) provides $3,500 in minigrants to local projects aiming at preventing substance abuse in Calvert County.
CAASA is a grassroots organization dedicated to fighting alcohol, tobacco and other
drug abuse in Calvert County.
The grant has been around for about 20
years, said Candice DAgostino, coordinator of CAASA.
The mini-grant program is designed to
fund services and activities in school-based
and community-based organizations. Grant
application should include missions and
strategies, a timeline, an outline of activities, a budget outlining fund expenditures,
the number and age group of those being
served by the project, risks and challenges
and how they will be addressed.
By the end of the program, CAASA requires each fund recipient to present a detailed report that summarizes the projects
outcome and evaluate its performance.
Those who fail to make a presentation by
the deadline will be ineligible to apply for
the mini-grant the following year.

Five projects were awarded the grant
last year. Calvert High School Criminal
Justice Program implemented Lookin
Out activities that include school-wide
alcohol and other drug prevention initiatives. Patuxent High School Alcohol Coalition Krew (PACK) used the fund to
implement yearlong prevention awareness
activities on school campus. Dowell Elementary School, Mt. Harmony Elementary School and Windy Hill Elementary
Schoolused the fund to purchase and implement the Second Step curriculum.
CAASA offers to help grant recipients
achieve its goals through promoting its
project activities and providing certificates
of appreciation and thank-you letter to
project participants.
Application deadline this year is 4 p.m.
Monday, July 25. Grants will be distributed by September 26. Applicants can
download the application form from www.
co.cal.md.us/caasa. For more information,
call 410-535-3733.
LUSBY MAN SENTENCED TO

10YEARS FOR HIS ROLE IN DRUG
TRAFFICKING CONSPIRACY
U.S. District Judge Deborah K.
Chasanow sentenced Antoine Dewayne
Savoy, age 35, of Lusby, Maryland, today
to 10 years in prison, followed by five
years of supervised release, for conspiracy
to distribute and possess with intent to
distribute powder and crack cocaine.
The sentence was announced by United
States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in
Charge Daniel L. Board, Jr. of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Special
Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug
Enforcement Administration - Washington
Field Division; Chief Hank Stawinski of
the Prince Georges County Police Department; Acting Chief Stanley Johnson, of the
Maryland National Capital Park Police,
Prince Georges County Division; Charles
County Sheriff Troy Berry; St. Marys
County Sheriff Tim Cameron; and Calvert
County Sheriff Mike Evans.
According to his plea agreement and other court documents, from January through
July 2015, Savoy conspired with Colbert
Juan Jones, Vincent Leo Fletcher, Troy
Taishon Swann, and James Devwan Pixley,
to distribute cocaine. Jones sold cocaine to
his customers, which included Savoy and
Pixley. Savoy and Pixley purchased cocaine from Jones several times a month and
used at least half of that cocaine to manufacture crack cocaine, which they sold in
smaller distribution quantities.
Savoy often retrieved the cocaine from a
home in Prince Frederick, Maryland, from
which Jones distributed narcotics.Savoy

would either meet Jones there and personally
exchange money for the cocaine, or retrieve
the cocaine from a hiding place known to
Savoy and Jones. Savoy would then leave
cash in the hiding place, or arrange another
time and place to provide money to Jones.
Jones obtained cocaine from Fletcher and
other sources.
Fletcher obtained cocaine several times
a month from Swann and other suppliers.
Fletcher distributed the cocaine to his customers for further distribution, and used
some of the powder cocaine to manufacture
crack cocaine, which he also distributed.
Colbert Juan Jones, age 33, of St. Leonard, Maryland, and Vincent Leo Fletcher,
age 29, of Clinton, Maryland, and James
Devwan Pixley, age 26, of Waldorf, Maryland, were each previously sentenced to 10
years in prison.
Troy Taishon Swann, age 39, of Waldorf,
pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy
and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11
2016 at 11:00 a.m. United States Attorney
Rod J. Rosenstein praised the ATF, DEA,
Prince Georges County Police Department, Maryland National Capital Park Police, Prince Georges County Division, and
the Charles, St. Marys and Calvert County
Sheriffs Offices for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael T. Packard
and Leah J. Bressack, who prosecuted this
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task
Force case.

Summer is here and Annmarie Garden

announces an exciting community art project entitled, Inflatable - Images & Inspirations. The project will continue throughout
the summer and will be led by artist-inresidence, Hannah Jeremiah. Visitors are
invited to participate in something bigger
than themselves with the creation of this
work of art that will inspire and delight.
The Public Art Project at Annmarie
began in 2005 in an effort to engage the
public and celebrate art and creativity.
Hundreds of guests participate each year in
projects such as the Wish Mandala, made
of hundreds of wishing flags, designed to
create harmony in the community and last
years Modern Petroglyphics, a stone carving installation featuring drawings from
the community.
Jeremiah is an artist who lives in Baltimore, Maryland. She was born in Arkansas
and grew up in the Connecticut suburbs.
There she developed a curiosity about overabundance, waste, and the unwanted--one
earring in the stairwell, a pyramid of empty
Snapple bottles, two leftover sleeves. For
Hannah, discarded objects act as catalysts
for flexible sculptures, installations, and
performances. A graduate of the Maryland
Institute College of Art, she has exhibited
work at Artscape, Maryland Art Place, and
MICAs Annual Benefit Fashion Show.
For the Inflatable project, she will sew
together scraps to create an inflatable that
interacts with the outdoor environment.
Visitors can help this project come to life

can come from what you are grateful for,

many people contributing to this project
already says Hannah. My goal is to have
a structure large enough so everyone can
walk inside to see their own artwork.
Hannah will be in the artLAB most days
between 11:00 a.m and 4:00 pm., so visitors
can meet her, learn more about the project,
and check on its progress. The community
is encouraged to visit anytime the Garden
is open and come back as often as they
would like to participate; and then join us
at Artsfest September 17-18 to see the finished installation.
Participation is included with the price of
admission. Admission is free for members;

Solomons June 28, 2016 - Andy Batchelor and Lisa Batchelor Frailey, Solomons
residents and owners of Kinetic Sailing,
have written the brand new textbook,Cruising Catamarans Made Easy,just released
by the American Sailing Association to national acclaim. The book isthe new official
manual for its Catamaran Cruising Course
(ASA 114). Focused exclusively on how
to operate a cruising catamaran, the newest book in ASAs instructive and engag-
ingSailing Made Easyseries highlights the

unique skills involved to operate a cruising
catamaran with its distinctive characteristics and operating systems.ASA selected
the Batchelors to write the book because
of their extensive catamaran cruising and
chartering expertise, sailing instructor
credentials and writing style. The couple
wrote ASAsBareboat Cruising Made
Easy, released in September 2014, which
dovetails nicely into the cruising catamaran follow-on. We worked with an excellent team of editors, photographers and
illustrators on both books, Andy said.
Were really pleased with the result, and

were eager for our Cruising Catamaran
students to use this book.
Like our previous textbooks,Cruising
Catamarans Made Easyis illustrated with
rich, detailed photos and easy-to-understand text to help students learn quickly,
said Lenny Shabes, ASAs Chairman of the
Board. It offers invaluable information on
how to operate a cruising catamaran, adding tremendous value to many facets of the
burgeoning catamaran industry.
Published in full color and containing
best-in-class illustrations along with worldclass photography from renowned sailing photographers, Billy Black, Nicholas
Claris, Sharon Greene and others,Cruising
Catamarans Made Easywas written by
expert sailing instructors Andy Batchelor
and Lisa Batchelor Frailey. The 90-page
book was also co-edited by Peter Isler, two
time Americas Cup winner and Chairman
of ASAs Educational Committee, and Jeremy McGeary, a 30-year veteran sailing
writer and editor. The book also features a
foreword by world-renowned pioneer catamaran racer, Cam Lewis.
Cruising Catamarans Made Easyis the
first book to serve as a complete guide for
the cruising catamaran sailor. It features
a water-resistant cover, an easy-to-follow
layout of two-page spreads throughout and
an extensive glossary of terms. The book
retails for $23.95, and is currently available
for purchase on the ASA website (www.

asa.com).
More than a course textbook,Cruising Catamarans Made Easyis also ideal for
familiarizing more experienced monohull
sailors entering the evolving catamaran
sales and charter markets, according to
Isler. For cat manufacturers and dealers,
it can be used as a sales tool to inform,
excite and build rapport with prospective
customers. And for owners and operators
of catamaran charter companies, it should
be placed in the cabin of every catamaran
in their fleet!
Lisa and Andy Batchelor conduct the
ASA 114 Cruising Catamaran course
through their partner ASA school Sail
Solomons, located at Zahnisers Yachting
Center in Solomons Maryland. The highly acclaimed school conducts courses on
their fleet of daysailers and cruising yachts
for all sailing levels, from novice to advanced. Sail Solomons offers a local sailing club membership, and winter courses
and flotillas sailing the Caribbean waters,
where they teach the Cruising Catamaran
course in a live aboard environment. The
Batchelors also offer ocean passagemaking courses on their Outbound 46 Kinetic, and private On Your Own Boat

Calvert Public Schools Appoints

School Improvement
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
Longtime English schoolteacher Sandy
Walker was appointed by Calvert County
Public Schools Board of Education to
be the Supervisor of Equity and School
Improvement.
This position is created to provide students with equitable access to high quality
and culturally relevant instruction, curriculum and academic support, according
to a press release from the Calvert County
Public Schools.
The schools have had this position off
and on over the past few years, said Daniel
Curry, superintendent of the Calvert County Public Schools.
By investing in the position, the school
hopes to show its commitment to ensure
that all students receive an education that
will maximize their potential and raise
achievements for all by closing achievement and opportunity gaps among student
subgroups.
Two primary goals of the position are
to employ more minority teachers and to
close the achievement gap, Curry said. The
main responsibilities of the Supervisor of
Equity and School Improvement include
creating equal learning opportunities for
students, working with every school and
leading conversations about race and the

role of race in school.
According to Curry, African American
students make up about 14 percent of the
student population while African American teachers account for about five percent
of the faculty population. The school aims
to make the teaching population be representative of the student body.
The new position reports to the superintendent, Curry said. Similar to many other
administrative positions, Walkers performance will be evaluated annually.
Walker was an adjunct English teacher
at Marist College and taught in Wappingers Central School District in New York,
according to a press release from the Calvert County Public Schools. He earned
both his Bachelors and Masters degrees
from the State University of New York at
Buffalo.
Walker taught teach English for 14 years
in Northern High School. Meantime, he
sponsored the Teacher Academy Program and Minority Scholars Club. He also
chaired the schools equity team and represented the high school on the district equity
leadership team.

Calvert Students Earn National History Day Recognition
Nearly 3,000 students representing

schools from throughout the United States,
surrounding territories and countries
around the world gathered at the University of Maryland, College Park from June
1216 to compete in the 2016 Kenneth E.
Behring National History Day Competition. Two students from Calvert County
Public Schools earned top awards.
Parker Nickels of Northern Middle
School was honored with the bronze medal
in the Junior Individual Exhibit category
for his project Brainstorm!William James
Pioneer of the Mental Frontier.
Brian Holt of Huntingtown High School

was honored with the U.S. Constitution
Award, sponsored by the National Archives
and Records Administration, for his senior
individual website project, The Iran-Contra Affair: Patriotism or Politics?
Supervisor of Social Studies Rebecca
Bowen said, Brian and Parker worked exceptionally hard on their projects throughout the entire school year and truly went
above and beyond with their research and
presentation. To say that that their projects
were amazing is an understatement. When
I first reviewed their projects, I knew that
Calvert County Public Schools was going

to be a serious contender at the state and
national levels.
According to a press release from Maryland Humanities, the National History
Day program allows students to explore an
annual theme through research using primary and secondary sources and to create
a final product to display their work. The
2016 competition encouraged students to
contemplate Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History and select a project in
one of the following five categories: exhibit, performance, website, paper or docu-
mentary. Maryland students competed in

school and county competitions as well
as the statewide contest Maryland History
Day, which is coordinated by Maryland
Humanities, before advancing to the national competition in College Park.
Maryland Humanities is a statewide,
educational nonprofit organization that creates and supports educational experiences
in the humanities that inspire all Marylanders to embrace lifelong learning, exchange
ideas openly and enrich their communities.
Calvert Students Awarded Over

$20M in Scholarships
PICTURED: BRIAN HOLT
Calvert County Public Schools graduates in the Class of 2016 were awarded
$22,220,254 in scholarships to continue
their education at colleges, universities and
other institutes of higher learning.
The scholarships range from awards presented by local organizations to appointments to United States service academies.
Of the 1,245 graduates, 335 were offered at
least one scholarship.
Dr. Daniel D. Curry, Superintendent,
said, Whether it is $100 or a full ride, our
hard-working students will benefit from
these awards.
PICTURED: PARKER NICKLES
The numerous awards of financial assistance are in part a result of the school systems partnership with Southern Maryland
College Access Network (SoMD CAN).
SoMD CAN provides support to students
during the college admission process and
serves as a clearinghouse for local scholarships. The organizations mission is to
increase the college-going rate among the
regions high school students with specific
focus on those students who are first generation college-bound, in underserved populations and academically talented.

To prepare this story to commemorate

our upcoming July 4th celebrations, I asked
several friends and neighbors if they knew
a guy named Thom Johnson? Several said
Isnt he a lawyer in Prince Frederick?
Others thought he might be a professional
baseball player. Still others thought he was
a politician up in Annapolis! They all may
be right as I did not have time to check each
one of those Thoms out! But the Thom
I was looking for is actually Thomas
Johnson for whom our Solomons Bridge
is named. And, as I learned from a quick
review from my high school Maryland History course, Thomas was one of the very
first great sons of Calvert County. As
an active revolutionist, he served in many
capacities in support of the Founding Fathers who signed our Declaration of Independence. He then was elected the first
Governor of Maryland, the seventh State to
enter the Union.
Thomas was born to Thomas and Dorcas
Sedgewick Johnson on November 4, 1732
in a house located very near the Patuxent River at the mouth of St. Leonards
Creek. He was the fourth of ten children
and many of his siblings went on to raise
large families as well. He married Ann
Jennings and they produced a large family numbering seven or eight children according to several references; apparently
one child died in infancy. Early Maryland
was considered an Agricultural state and
families were unusually large so as to help
with the many family farms that sprung up
prior to the Revolution. One interesting fact
from his family history concerns his niece
Louisa Johnson, a daughter of his brother
Joshua who married John Quincy Adams
and became the First Lady when Adams
became our sixth US President.
As was the custom of the times, Thomas
was home schooled along with his brothers and sisters. At an early age, he showed a
great interest in learning the new laws that
were being formulated during our countrys infancy. To gain a professional education, Thomas moved to Annapolis to study
law and at the age of twenty one, earned his
license to practice and was admitted to the
Maryland Bar in 1753. His paternal grandfather, also named Thomas Johnson, was
a lawyer in London before immigrating to
America prior to 1700.
Gaining confidence and experience as
a young lawyer during the turbulent years
leading up to the start of the Revolutionary movement, Thomas decided to become
involved in politics and won election as
a Delegate to the Maryland General Assembly in 1762. The records from this period are somewhat confusing as one source
stated he first represented Anne Arundel County, yet another reference said he
moved to Frederick, Maryland in 1760. I
did learn through my research of this great
Southern Marylander, his wife Ann Jennings was the daughter of an Annapolis
judge. They were married in Annapolis in
February, 1766.
He practiced law in Frederick for several
years. [Frederick was a small town situated
on the National Road in western Maryland
made famous by the story of Barbara Fritchie, the elderly lady famous for her confrontation with the Confederate troops over
the Flag at her home. She in many ways
demonstrated the same determination and
defiance of a Rosa Parks who later stood
up to bigotry and discrimination]. As resentment within the British Crown grew
throughout the Colonies, Thomas actually
supported conciliation with Great Britain
and was one of the last of the revolutionaries to cave when finally persuaded that
his efforts were fruitless. He soon voted
for the Declaration of Independence and
became a member of several committees
formed to draft memorials to the crown
seeking redress of grievances. He was part
of the organizing group that put together
the initial Colonial
Congress. He represented his State at the first
Continental Congress
held in Philadelphia.
During the second Continental Congress in
1775, he was given the
distinction to nominate
his good friend George
Washington as the
Commander In Chief
of the Colonial Armies.
The future President
would
later
thank
Thomas with a nomination to the US Supreme
Court and was confirmed by US Congress
in November, 1791.
Once hostilities broke
out in force with the
hated Brits, Thomas
joined the Maryland
militia and quickly rose
to senior Brigadier General, assuming control
of all of the States conscripts. He recruited 1800 men to join General Washington
armies and they fought brilliantly along
side men from the other twelve Colonies.
With his brothers, he further supported the
War by manufacturing ammunition and
cannons at a factory near Frederick. Their
company, Catoctin Furnace, was located
in a building now part of a State Park near
the Presidential Retreat at Camp David,
Maryland.
In 1777, Thomas became the first Maryland Governor and was re elected twice in
1778 and 1779. Additionally, he continued
to hold many judicial posts as well as positions in the Maryland Assembly. He is
credited with helping to construct the language of a Bill that established the regulation of the jurisdiction and navigation of the
Potomac River, in the mutual interests of
the States of Virginia and Maryland. At
the Maryland Convention of 1778, he successfully obtained the States ratification of
the United States Constitution.
He was appointed as the first Federal
Judge for the District of Maryland, but declined this selection due to failing health.
He later accepted the Presidents appointment to the US Supreme Court, where he
served until January of 1793, but had to
resign as a result of his poor health and
declining ability to endure the travel hardships this position required. Yet, despite
his brief term in office, the shortest of any
Photo by Sarah Willaims
Justice that served on the Nations highest

court [163 days], he holds the distinction of
being the author of the Courts first written
opinion Georgia vs. Brailsford in 1792.
He continued to suffer from poor health
and was forced to decline several appointments by his good friend George. At the
suggestion of Thomas Jefferson, he was
nominated for Secretary of State, but was
unable to accept this important role as
well.. He did manage to deliver the eulogy
for President Washington at a memorial
service in 1800. He later went to live with
his daughter Ann in Frederick and passed
away there on October 26, 1819, nine days
prior to his 87th birthday. He leaves a great
legacy for his many years of dedication to
his new State and our young Nation. He
is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in
Frederick.
There are many schools throughout the
State named in honor of this great Southern
Marylander. But the biggest recognition
given to this Calvert gentleman is our 1.37
mile bridge that connects our two counties
named for him when it opened to traffic in
December of 1977. One can view almost
all of our part of the world while crossing this fine tribute to our first Governor.
Thomas Johnson, a person to know! I hope
you enjoy this years Independence Day. It
was made possible by a great many heroes
such as Thom!

ATMOSPHERES
Prince Frederick Shopping Center (Rt. 4
and 231, Prince Frederick) - Wednesday to
Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Five Artists share their visions in clay.
Featuring works by Ray Bogle, Denise
Breitburg, Marie Estabrook, Randy Estabrook, and Adam Sampson. June 8 to July
3, 2016. Reception: June 11, 5 to 8 p.m. This
show is shaping up to be a great show with
many non-traditional clay forms, vessels
and firing techniques. The artists are excited about their work and are eager to share
their visions with the public. Ray Bogle has
been working with clay for over 25 years.
His creations range from dramatic showspecific works to fun personal designs. His
contributions to the craft have included

teaching classes for children as well as
adults, developing a variety of forms and
glazes, and perfecting techniques in the
ancient skill of Raku. Denise Breitburg is
a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center with a deep
passion for the beauty and the complexity
of the natural world. She says, Everything
about pottery is magical from the hypnotic spin of the potters wheel, to the transformation of a shapeless lump to a graceful
shape, to the mystery of colors appearing
in the heat of the kiln. Marie and Randy
Estabrook are a married couple sharing the
same passion for clay. This is our creative
outlet- Randy and I make beautiful ceramic art that reflects the designs and patterns
of the natural world, said Marie. Adam
Sampson is a our newest member and we
cant wait to see what he produces for this
show! Come join us for the opening reception where you can meet the artists, see
their work and enjoy appetizers and beverages. For more information, go to www.

Without Bias, a 2009 ESPN documentary on the death of former Maryland Basketball star Len Bias, three times. Ive even
trolled the internet like a pathetic TMZ
junky for Johnny Manziel chatter. Is a 2
a.m. table tennis tournament next?
The problem: Im a sports addict without
an adequate fix. I need whiskey shots, but
the only elixir available is Coors Light. Im
pounding Silver Bullets but they just dont
deliver the desired effect. Maybe I need to
go Old School, channel my inner Frank
the Tank and deploy a beer bong.
I should have a compensatory protocol;
this happens every year. See, the moment
the Fightin LeBrons defeated the Golden
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
State Warriors and exercised Clevelands

demons, sports fans were tossed into a
cold, harsh world with only one active
major sport (MLB). No frozen pucks or
slap shots. No touchdowns or daily fantasy football binges. No more three point
bombs. This is how Aussie football ends
up on ones television. I even caught myself reading about Great Britains departure from the European Union. #Brexit!
Help
Finding inspiration in these depressed
athletic times is difficult, but a Norseman
- by trade, anyway - managed to do so.
When asked during a recent ESPN interview about his remaining NFL shelf life,
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian
Peterson, 31, offered an interesting reply.
Training camp, going through the grind,
21
OTAs and all that that will definitely be a

deciding factor. Physically, body-wise, Ill
be good. Its just mentallyits so repetitive that its more suited toward the young
guysit gets kind of boring.
For the average person who trudges into
work five days a week for 40 years just to
keep the utilities on and some connection
to the middle class, Petersons comments
sound like pouty, million-dollar-athlete
syndrome. Oh yeah, its torturous to throw
some weights around daily, casually run
mock football plays in shorts and spend a
little time with coaches in the film room.
Poor Adrian Peterson. How does he survive the toil? Hes a working mans hero.
Pausing the sail down the river of sarcasm, a fair consideration of Petersons
soundbite must acknowledge two points.
First, while Peterson might not be the best
mentor for fathers, he is among the NFLs
hardest workers, having once rushed for
2,000 yards less than a year after reconstructive knee surgery. He is a symbol of
the year-round commitment to fitness the
game requires and the death of the pot-bellied era of Sonny Jurgensen. Second, and
more significantly, football, as compared to
other sports, demands arduous preparation.
Offseason programs begin in April. Organized Team Activities (OTAs) are in May.
Training camps start in July. Preseason
games are played in August. The regular
season runs from September through De-
cember and includes obsessive strategizing

between games. And for what? Sixteen
games at three hours apiece - 48 hours of
glory. And the best of the best only play
half (offense or defense). Thats a lot of
work for very little playtime and a far cry
from the 162 MLB games and 82 NBA and
NHL games per year. No wonder theres so
much exuberance and passion on Sundays
its playtime!
In that context, Petersons point is understandable. Football demands a lot of
squeezing for very little juice. Looking to
real life for comps, I suppose its similar to
the maturation of a complex weapon system, a process that takes years and climaxes with a few test events. Or a presentation
that takes weeks to develop, research and
practice for a single, two-hour delivery. Or
maybe its even like writing, a process the
great Red Smith described in these terms:
Writing is easy. Just sit in front of a typewriter, open up a vein and bleed.
Heading into his tenth NFL season, I get
Petersons boredom with the grind. Am I
sympathetic? What with a metaphorical
vein open and an early morning alarm for
another 20 years? No, not hardly. Pro footballs still a comparatively good gig, even if
gamedays are rare treats.

and master planning project for the Prince

Frederick Town Center. The goal is to update the Prince Frederick Town Center Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance, adopted in
1989. The charrette, a public visioning
and design process, provided opportunities
for people to share their ideas for the future
of Prince Frederick.The charrette report is
full of thought-provoking ideas, which are
being considered for inclusion in the new
master plan and zoning ordinance.

Misinformation in public about
illegal spot zoning is wrong as the proposed text amendments apply comprehensively to the entire district as prescribed in
the public Prince Frederick Master Plan
and Zoning Ordinance, page Z.O. 41 which
states, 2. Future Development Guidelines
- The New Town District offers a unique
opportunity to create a comprehensively
designed, mixed - use, planned community

at a key location within the Town Center. In
order to encourage innovative design, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision regulations
governing density, site design and permitted uses will be waived provided the entire District is comprehensively designed.
The final design will be subject to Planning Commission and County Commissioner approval. Participation is voluntary.

COMMISSIONERS
CORNER
By Evan Slaughenhoupt
Commissioner President

Numerous articles about this
topic have been written, questions asked
and answered, options presented, public
hearings held, and even after all that; some
will continue to claim there is not enough
known instead of truthfully stating they either want no growth, no competition, or are
begrudged because they were not elected to
be the decision makers.
During the 2010 election (yes, 6 years
ago), the subject arose in public about
the property where the old Calvert High
School stood in the district called New
Town. Calvert County sent a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to the development community for ideas. In 2011, five responses
occurred; none were acceptable as each
viewed the property as simply another strip
mall. A subsequent decision was made in
public circa 2012 to create a comprehen-

while looking at saving the Transferrable
Development Rights (TDR) program; and
that going forward the board would include
updating in public the Prince Frederick
Master Plan while still pursuing development of that property.

An update for that master plan
was initiated by a charrette, a week-long
public visioning and design process that
occurred on June 10-14 and 18, 2013.Particular emphasis was given to the redevelopment of the former Calvert Middle School
property and adjacent lands along MD
Route 2/4 up toCalvert MemorialHospital.
