Approve Prince Frederick
Zoning Changes
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Calvert County Commissioners passed the text amendment proposal that would change the zoning ordinance
to allow for large retail stores to move in
Prince Frederick.
The vote came down to 3-2. Commissioner Pat Nutter and Steven Weems voted
against the proposed amendment and the
other three commissioners, Evan Slaughenhoupt, Tom Hejl and Mike Hart voted
for it.
The text amendment mainly concerns
the land use of the Armory Square Project,
a parcel at the southwest tip of Prince Fredericks New Town District. Located at the
intersection of Route 2/4 and Dares Beach
Rd., the Armory Square includes the former Calvert Middle School site, the old National Guard Armory and land owned by a
private company named Bargo. The middle
school was demolished in 2012. Both the
school site and the National Guard Armory
building belong to the county.
The details of the text amendment 1508a are: the residential density will almost
double from 14 to 24 dwelling units per
acre; the maximum building height will
increase from 50 to 60 feet; the maximum
building size for retail commercial buildings and wholesale business will jump from
25,000 to 150,000 square feet, which some
residents interpreted as space reserved for
home improvement stores like Home Depot
or Lowes.
The next step is to create a site plan and
put a development agreement in place,
Commissioner President Slaughenhoupt
said.
Prior to the vote, the commissioners
hosted a public hearing at the Calvert Pines
Senior Center on June 14 and received
strong opposition from many long-term
county residents. Opponents are concerned
that bringing in big retail stores may lead
to over-crowdedness and exacerbate traffic congestion on Route 2/4. Some small
business owners and employees are also
worried that local business will not be able
to compete with big retail stores and be
forced out of business. Supporters of the
zoning changes argue that the text amendment will pave the way for the county to
create new jobs, expand tax base, diversify
its economy and foster sustainable growth
for generations to come.
Samuel Sherrod Greene Jr., a 22-yearold black male of Sunderland, has been
indicted for attempted, first-degree murder after allegedly firing multiple shots in
Prince Frederick on June 16.
The attempted murder charge was added to first-degree assault, four counts of
reckless endangerment and several other
felony charges.
Around 1 a.m. on June 16, multiple gunshots were fired in the area of Tranquil Ct.
in Prince Frederick, according to a press
release from the Sheriffs office. No one
was injured.
The alleged suspect responsible for firing the shots was identified as Samuel
Sherrod Greene. Greene was located at a
residence on Paris Oaks Rd. later in the afternoon. Greene jumped out of the window
when the law enforcement arrived, according to the press release. Greene was captured and taken into custody after a short
foot chase. A Smith and Wesson 9mm
handgun loaded with the same type of
ammunition as the shell casings found on
Tranquil Ct. was also located at the same
residence on Paris Oaks Rd.
Greene admitted to being in the area of
Tranquil Ct. and said he heard the shots
too. But he denied any part of the shooting
and requested to terminate the interview.
The police determined that the incident
stemmed from a domestic issue. The police
report revealed that Anthony Wayne Crusoe II lived in the residence on Tranquil Ct.

By Doug Watson
I wasnt sure if wed ever get one down
here again, it sure has been a long time. Were
the words from Waldorf Marylands Kenny
Moreland after scoring his first Potomac Late
Model feature win of the season last Friday
night. Morelands $2500 win, which came in
his Rocket XR-! no.24, was his 7th career Potomac win and his first since the 2013 season.
Moreland and Nick Davis paced the field to
green with Davis zipping into the top spot as
the field went hard into turn one. A lap three
caution played a role in the outcome of the
event. Moreland was scored the leader of lap
three, but spun on his own in turn two at the
completion of the lap. However, Moreland
kept his foot in the gas and did not stop, keeping him in the race lead. Moreland would
then eventually pace the remaining circuits,
but would have to repel the repeated advances
from a pesky Dale Hollidge who arrived in
the runner up spot on lap nine. Our car was
a bit free tonight, but I knew if I held my line,
Dale (Hollidge) would have a tough time getting by us on the outside. Moreland stated
post race. We pretty much do this deal out
of our own pocket and to get a win for all the
people whove helped us this season is a great
feeling. I just hope this isnt our last. Jason
Covert came home third, Jamie Lathroum
took fourth with Daryl Hills rounding out the
top five. Heats went to Nick Davis and Jason
Covert.

By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
In early 2015, Brenda Hudsons transplanted kidney was failing.
Statistically, Hudson knew a transplanted kidney usually lasts 15 to 18 years, and
hers had worked way longer than average.
A long-term Owings resident, she used to
work for Prince Georges Countys Board
of Education. She sometimes forgot she
had an organ transplanted inside her abdomen 40 years ago.
At a time when organ transplant was relatively new, Hudson was the first person to
receive a kidney from a living donor at the
then Georgetown University Hospital. But
when her transplanted kidney started to
fail, there was no time for shock. The doctors told her that she needed a new kidney:
the sooner, the better.
Joining more than 100,000 renal patients
across the country, Hudson signed up for
the waiting list for a kidney transplant. She
was told that it might take four to six years
to get a kidney from a deceased donor.
Each year, doctors all over the country
perform about 18,000 kidney transplants,
according to the United States Renal Data
System (USRDS). But the demand is five
times the supply. The wait has become
longer in recent years. Some die waiting.
Today, the biggest challenge the transplant
field faces is not the technology or medication, but to get kidneys for so many who are
anxiously waiting across the nation.
While waiting, Hudson was put on dialysis, four hours at a time, three times a week.
Life On Dialysis
Hudson was assigned the schedule of 7 to
11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
for her dialysis. She had a large dialysis bag
filled with three pillows and two blankets.
Before she went to the dialysis center on
Dares Beach Rd. in Prince Frederick, her
husband, Dana Hudson, would prepare her
some snacks: graham crackers with peanut
butter, a bag of pretzels and a fruit cup. Peanut butter is one of Hudsons favorite foods,
but she cant eat it because of her conditions. The only time she could have it was
during dialysis because the process would
clear the phosphorus out of her body.
When she got to the dialysis center,
she would sit down on one of the reclining chairs, pull one blanket over the chair
because the leather seat always made feel
her cold. She would place one arm on a pillow and use another pillow to prop up her
arm before having her blood drawn out.
The third pillow, the kind of neck pillows
usually sold in airport shops, was used to
support her neck. Then she would put the
second blanket on top of her upper body
before the dialysis began. When it did,
her blood would flow through a dialyzer
to be cleaned. When the blood returned to
her body, it was cooled and always made
her feel increasingly cold as the process
wenton.
I was always cold. Its a cold you can
never get rid of, Hudson said. She sometimes shivered under the blanket.
When she reflected on her 18 months on
dialysis, she said she felt her life was rotten. Dialysis does the kidneys job to filter
waste and unwanted fluid to keep the patients alive, but it is far from a replacement
for a kidney. The process of dialysis can
be excruciating for many and often leaves
the patients too exhausted to work or enjoy life. Less than half of dialysis patients
survive more than five years. For many, it
is a stepping-stone for a kidney transplant
- their pathway back to a
normal, productive life.
When Hudson was
on dialysis, she was too
tired to read or even
play video games on her
phone. She felt her mind
was dialyzed along with
her blood, and it stayed
jumbled the whole time.
What made things a
little better was making
friends with those who
were going through the
same struggle. When
she found out that her
husband was a suitable
donor and was getting
ready for her second
transplant, some were
sad to see her leave.
But at the same time,
they were happy for
me, Hudson said. And
I said: I want to get you
all a kidney.
