Half A Billion Yahoo

Accounts Breached
By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
On Sep. 22, web giant Yahoo announced
that more than 500 million of its user accounts were breached.
Yahoos chief information security officer Bob Lord wrote on Yahoos Tumblr
site that the hack was confirmed by a recent investigation which revealed a copy
of certain user account information was
stolen from the companys network in
late 2014 by what Yahoo believes to be a
state-sponsoredhacker.
The information stolen included names,
email addresses, phone numbers, birth
dates, encrypted passwords and in some
cases security questions and answers. Yahoo said the stolen information did not include unprotected passwords, payment card
data, bank account information, which were
not stored in the system that was affected.
The news came at an inconvenient time
for Yahoo as the company is in the process
of being acquired by Verizon for close to $5
billion. The massive data breach last week
could negatively affect Yahoos share price,
which could result in a lower buyout price
for Yahoo.
Yahoo encourages its one billion monthly
active users to change their passwords and
security questions. Yahoo said its working
closely with law enforcement and have notified potentially affected users.
The company said: Through strategic

proactive detection initiatives and active response to unauthorized access of accounts,
Yahoo will continue to strive to stay ahead
of these ever-evolving online threats and to
keep our users and our platforms secure.
For more information about the data
breach, visit help.yahoo.com/kb/account/
SLN27925.html.
Marylands Attorney Generals office recommends that residents affected by this data
breach monitor their online accounts for any
unusual activity and change their login information for any other online accounts that
may have the same or similar passwords
and security questions.Also, residents are
encouraged to check their credit reports and
maybe consider placing a credit freeze on
their credit files. For more information on
how to obtain a credit freeze, visitwww.
marylandattorneygeneral.gov/Pages/IdentityTheft/freezing.aspx.
The Attorney Generals office also recommends that consumers review their
account statements, online accounts and
credit files regularly for suspicious activity.If consumers feel they have been
harmed and want to file a complaint,
call 410-576-6491 or visit their website at
www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov.
Early Voting Starts in Four Weeks

By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
As the first presidential debate between
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump wrapped
up on Monday night, some voters may already know which candidate they would be
voting for in this election. For citizens who
have made up their mind and want to avoid
the crowd on Election Day, early voting in
Maryland starts on Oct. 27.
Citizens can vote in person at the Community Resources Building located at 30
Duke Street, Lower Level in Prince Frederick between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Thursday,
Oct. 27 through Thursday Nov. 3.
Calvert County Election Board Office
Specialist Mary DePelteau recommends
early voters to come in between 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. during weekdays to avoid the crowd if
schedule permits.
The voting center offers early voters
same-day registration for anyone with a valid identification with a name and an address,
preferably Maryland drivers license, DePelteau said. The same-day registration service
is available only during the eight days of
early voting, not on Election Day.
The voter registration deadline is three
weeks before each election, which means
the last day to register to vote is Oct. 18.
For people with a valid Maryland drivers
license, registering online is the easiest and
fastest way, DePelteau said. If un-registered
voters miss the Oct. 18 deadline, they could
show up during early voting time frame to
register and vote on the same day.
To register to vote, applicants may call the
Election Board Office to request an application form or come to the office to fill out one
in person. They may also obtain a form from

any post office in the county, the Social Services office and the MVA, according to the
election board offices website.
On Election Day, polling places are open
from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Anyone in line at 8
p.m. will be allowed to vote. Maryland law
does not require identification to vote, however, voters should carry ID in case they are
asked, DePelteau said.
DePelteau said there are 23 polling stations in Calvert. For those who are voting
on Nov. 8, voters can find out where to vote
online at www.elections.state.md.us/voting/
where.html or by calling the election board
office at 410-535-2214. They can also find
out their polling place by checking their
voter notification card.
Sample ballots will start being mailed
during the week of Oct. 17to allregistered
voters.
Since this years primary election, the
state is now using a paper-based voting system. During early voting and on Election
Day, voters will be given a paper ballot and
a pen. Voters will mark the ballots by hand
at a voting booth. The finished ballot will be
inserted into a scanner.
The scanner tabulates the votes, which
produces a report of vote totals at the end of
the night when the polls close, DePelteau
said. The paper ballots are stored in a secure location until all recount and challenge
deadlines have passed.
For more information, call 410-535-2214. or

Education
Philanthropist Hopes to Inspire Others Through

$1 Million Gift to College of Southern Maryland
Wth a vision to positively impact students
and their futures, philanthropist, astute businesswoman and developer Marianne Harms
of Huntingtown has made a $1 million gift to
provide scholarships for students at the College of Southern Maryland.
I believe in the College of Southern
Maryland and see it as one of our greatest
assets in our community, not only in how
it serves students with higher learning and
training but also how it enriches the people
of our community in so many ways. There
is something at this college for everyone,
Harms said.
The gift, which includes $500,000 in cash
and a planned gift of $500,000 through a
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust, is the
largest in the CSM Foundations $10-million
Make An Impact Campaign. I see futures
here, Harms said, continuing, All of these
funds will be directed to an endowed scholarship, the John and Marianne Harms Endowed Scholarship Fund, honoring my late
husband, John, who was an ardent supporter
of higher education and a very successful
businessman. He would agree that this campaign is a transformative campaign, one that
will change the future of our students, and
so I am establishing this scholarship fund to
help students afford college and prepare for
a better life.
Born in Hagerstown, John Harms was an
engineer and founded the John E. Harms
Jr. and Associates Engineering consulting
firm in 1955. He served as president and
CEO for many years. John Harms believed
that the value of a man should be seen in

what he gives and not in what he is able to
receive; therefore both he and his wife are
well known for their generosity. Through
the Harms philanthropy, the Healing Garden at Calvert Memorial Hospital, Harms
Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum
and the Marianne Harms Multidisciplinary
Suite at the Sheldon E. Goldberg Center for
Breast Care at Calvert Health System have
beenestablished.
The compassion that John and Marianne
Harms have demonstrated through their generous offerings within our community has
touched many lives and together they have
been catalysts to bring about transformative
change for Southern Maryland, said CSM
President Dr. Brad Gottfried. Marianne is
an enthusiastic advocate for education and
what it can do for a persons quality of life.
Now through this endowed scholarship,
Marianne Harms, with her husband John,
are creating a legacy that will impact the
lives of students pursuing their higher education goals far into the future, and the college
is honored to be part of their vision.
CSMs Impact Campaign is a transformative three-year outreach and fundraising effort that will culminate in 2018 with
the colleges 60th anniversary. Make Your
Impact: Invest Today to Transform Tomorrow addresses access, affordability and
achievement by ensuring that degree programs and career training are available to
everyone through scholarships, that high
caliber programs, facilities and technology

Goodwin and CSM Vice President Prince Frederick Campus Dr. Rich Fleming.
are accessible, and that strategic partnerships

and innovation are created and sustained in
thecommunity.
It is my pleasure to make this gift and
remain involved with the College of Southern Maryland and its success. I hope that this
gift will inspire others to support the college
and together we can change the future of our
students and our community, Marianne
Harmssaid.
The John and Marianne Harms Endowed
Scholarship will be awarded annually, with
preference given to students from Southern Maryland who demonstrate financial
Bowles Farms
need. The first round of scholarships will be

awarded beginning in the fall 2017 semester.
As part of the Harms Impact Campaign gift,
the Flagship Building on the Prince Frederick Campus will be named in John and Marianne Harms honor.
Think of the impact this gift will make
on our CSM community, said CSM Foundation Chair Rane Franklin. Marianne has
taken a bold step to lead the way for other
contributors to follow. Now we are looking
for other champions to step up to join her and
help CSM to go beyond allexpectations.

CRAB Card for all

Calvert Students
Students in the Calvert County Public
School system went back to school with an
extra bonus this year. In a brilliant partnership, Calvert Library and Calvert County
Public Schools have given every student
a special library card. They are calling
the card a CRAB card C for Calvert,
R for Research, A for Access and B
forBooks.
It isnt a physical card so there is nothing
to lose. Students can check out up to five
print items at a time and no fines will be
attached to the account. They just need to
know their student lunch number and stick
CALV at the front of it. Best of all, and the
motivation for the school system to enthusiastically embrace this offer, students will
have access from home or school to the librarys many online resources. Those include online tutoring and homework help,
research databases, technology courses,
newspaper archives, testing practice, language lessons and of course for fun, downloadable ebooks, audiobooks, movies, music, comics and TV shows.
Library staff made presentations to
many teachers during the orientation week
before school started and there was a lot
of enthusiasm about this new access to library resources. A number of schools will
be getting devices for individual students
to use and ideas were already flying; how
the whole class could check out the same
book from Hoopla and read together; how
teachers could encourage students to submit their papers to the online writing lab
first so they would have a more polished
paper to hand in; how a class could learn
how to do history fair research in a variety
of databases with each individual researching their own selected topic. One teacher
asked for extra Brainfuse bookmarks (online tutoring service available through the
library) to be able to share with parents.
One teacher/parent was thrilled to find out
there was online math tutoring for her high
schooler!
Calvert Library Director Carrie Plymire
said of the partnership, Libraries are all
about access to learning. We want every
student, every child to be able to use the

library. The CRAB Card makes it accessible even to those families who arent able
to get to the library every three weeks to
get their books back on time. Whether its
complicated transportation or complicated
family schedule, we dont want anything to
stop kids from accessing the important resources the library offers. We are thrilled
that Dr. Curry and Technology Integration
Teacher Specialist Jen Sturge partnered
with us to create a CRAB card for every
CCPS student.
This new partnership takes advantage of
economies of scalethe library subscribes
to numerous resources for the community
and their subscriptions are based on population served so Calvert County students
are already included in that number. With
their CRAB card, students will be able to
use valuable resources likeLynda.com,
HelpNow! Powered by Brainfuse, online
encyclopedias, TumbleBooks, testing practice resources, CQ Researcher, Newspaper
Archive, Washington Post, Gale Virtual
Reference Library and African-American
HistoryOnline.
Parents probably noticed the new paperwork this year for technology in the schools.
More and more, academic resources are accessed online so learning how to access,
evaluate and use information this way becomes ever more critical. Calvert students
new CRAB cards will give them lots of opportunity to hone these skills.
Calvert Library is including homeschoolers, private schoolers or even preschoolers in this bonus as well. These
students under the age of 18 can obtain
physical cards with the same parameters (5
checkouts of print material without fines,
access to all digital resources) at any Calvert Library location. Just ask for a CRAB
Card. Plymire believes that all children
should have access to information, education and opportunity and thats what were
offering at Calvert Library.

Calvert County Fair

Returns This Week,
Celebrating 130th Birthday

By Dandan Zou
Staff Writer
For Dotty Greene, Calvert County has

changed a lot.
Born and raised on a 110-acre tobacco
farm in St. Leonard in the 1930s, Greene
has seen most of the countys tobacco
farms disappear. Home Economics, the
subject she taught for 20 years at Northern
High School, is now called Family Consumer Science. But the county fair never
went away. It returns every year in late September or early October. This year, the fair
starts on the afternoon of Sept. 28 and lasts
through the rest of the week.
I grew up as a farm girl in Calvert,
Greene said. The fair is part of me. Its in
my blood, in my heritage.
This years fair celebrates its 130th birthday and expects between 30,000 to 35,000
visitors, as long as it doesnt rain the way it
did last year, said Carol Lee, president of
Calvert County Fair Board that organizes
the fair each year. The fair was held annually since 1986 except for the years during
the two world wars due to war efforts.
For many longtime residents like Greene,

the fair is more than five days of fun events.
It carries a sense of nostalgia in this day
and age when everything changes so fast.
It also celebrates Calverts rural roots and
agricultural heritage that the younger generation may not remember as well as their
parents and grandparents.
Fair was always a big thing in my life,
Greene said.
Since she was a child, Greene always
exhibited homemade goods. She made
cakes, cookies, brownies, pickles, relishes,
canned tomatoes, canned peaches and various kinds of jelly and jam.
It was fun competing with my friends
and sisters, Greene said. And she won
prizes that sometimes added up to a check
of as much as $30 in the 1940s. With the
prize money, she bought Christmas presents for her family and friends.
Whats most exciting for Greene now,
she said, is to see groups of friends meeting at the gate, chatting and laughing. That
is what she sees as the fundamental spirit
of the fair a community event that brings

people together.
People from all walks of life come [to
the fair] to enjoy each other and the fair,
Greene said. Its the people who make the fair.
Other than the residents supporting the
fair by showing up year after year, there is
a long list of people who made the fair what
it is today.
First held in 1886 on a farm in Dunkirk,
the fair started primarily as a social gettogether for men and a display of cattle
and tobacco, according to Calvert County
Fair Board, a local non-profit organization.
Established in 1940 and run by dozens of
volunteers, the boards mission is to edu-
cate the citizens of the importance of our

farming community and of our countys
rich agricultural legacy.
In 1920s and 1930s, the fair grew into
a major event in the community that encouraged competitions and comparisons of
different farming products largely thanks
to the effort of a new agricultural agent
named John Morsell from the Agricultural
Department of the University of Maryland.
Educational purpose was added to the fair
to help farmers learn new ways of farming and growing better crops. It was also
around that time when the fair was set in
the latter part of the summer. The timing
of the event allowed more farmers to par-

ticipate in the fair since most of the
crops would have been completed at
that time of the year.
Greenes mother Alverta Miller
(later known as Mrs. Williams after
she married Greenes father Leroy
Williams) was heavily involved in the
fair through the Homemakers Clubs.
The clubs helped with the exhibition
at the fair. Miller came to Calvert
County from Garrett County as a
home demonstration agent and was in
charge of the Homemakers Clubs for
two years. She revitalized the girls
4-h clubs and the Homemakers Clubs
in the county, and started the hot
lunch programs in schools, according
to the fair board.
Greenes mother taught her how
to make entries to compete at the
fair. Greene passed her knowledge
of exhibiting entries to her daughter
Cynthia, and Cynthia taught her two
children Courtney and Ben.
In late 1950s, Greene went to Germany for a year when her husband
was drafted to help Germanys reconstruction after World War II. Later, she lived in Montgomery County
for a few years and taught home economics at a local school. She moved
back to Calvert in early 1970s and
became a fair board director in late
1980s.
Like how her mother taught her,
Greene passed her knowledge of
making entries for the fair to her
daughter and grandchildren. Greene

decades keep going for the younger

Tip of the Week
I organizing my sewing room, I have many sizes of plastic drawer/boxes. I use

the ones that have three or four drawers. The units can be different sizes, in fact that
is better. I have all my scissors, rotary, cutters, elastic, coloring item, needles, both
hand and machine, etc. each in a different drawer. I put a temporary label with content on each drawer. Such organization. I can always find my tools.

A Letter to the Editor:
I would like to express my sincere congratulations to Jerry Clark on his appointment as Delegate for 29C. Mr. Clark has
the experience to represent the people of
Calvert and St. Marys well. I look forward
to working with him in his new position.
I want to thank both the Calvert County
Republican Central Committee and the St.
Marys County Republican Central Committee for all of the work that they did during the delegate selection process. Both
Central Committees set up and executed a
seamless and transparent selection and interview processes. This required a lot of
work and great deal of communication and
coordination. I am grateful to have participated in this process. I learned a lot and

met so many people who deeply care about
Calvert and St. Marys counties.
Finally, I would like to thank all of the
people who supported me through the
delegate selection process. I am deeply
grateful for the letters, phone calls, and the
words of encouragement I received. I am
both grateful and proud to continue to be
your County Commissioner. I look forward
to the next two years serving as Commissioner and the election coming up 2018.

Southern Marylander You Should Know
By David Spigler
Contributing Writer
BONNIE ELWARD
DEVOTED ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Did you happen to see the collection
of strange looking long canoe like boats
with scary monster like heads in the water along the Solomons Boardwalk a few
weeks ago??? I did and it raised questions
concerning what was all this hub bub
about? I have never seen as much activity
in this little seaside village! I knew it was
way too early for Patuxent River Appreciation Days and the hydra boat races were
held earlier this summer. So what the heck
was going on???
It turns out this celebration was the first
annual Solomons Dragon Boat Festival.
Evidently, it is the fastest growing water
sport in the country and grows more popular every year. The actual origin of this
fun activity is not completely known. I am
told these races have been held previously
in Chesapeake Beach. The ultimate purpose for this event, besides having a lot of
fun, is to raise needed funds for charitable,
non- profit organizations. Twenty teams of
sixteen rowers each are sponsored by various groups and organization and prizes and
medals are awarded. Many of the participants are young people with special needs
who not only have a great time, but are
actively engaged in raising monies to benefit programs dedicated to supporting their
needs. This weekend of events definitely
put FUN into fundraising!!!
The beneficiary for and host for these
races this year is the Southern Maryland
Community Resources. Inc. [SMCR], an
organization whose purpose is to provide
creative, inclusive programs for individuals
and their families with special needs and
developmental differences. These ongoing
efforts were started in St. Marys County
three years ago and is now being expanded
to Calvert County this year.
I was privileged to be introduced to the
programs Executive Director, Ms. Bonnie
Elward and, after learning more about this
wonderful lady, I can tell you her story of
involvement going back more than five decades has so much passion and love for caring for others, I cannot fit her entire story in
the space I am allotted! Her list of achievements and accomplishments are extensive
and you once more find yourself thinking
where in the heck does she find the time
to do all the things she is involved with!?!
Seems to be a common denominator with
all the unsung heroes I have been so fortunate to meet while writing this column.
I have to admit the first thing that struck
me as I sat down to write is to learn this
busy lady is actually older than myself as
her looks belie her age by twenty years at
least! As one writer said about her a few
years ago, When most people are slowing
down in life, Bonnie still finds boundless
energy to continue her mission to empathize and help people in whatever way God
calls her. I could not agree more!
Bonnie is not from here, but has been in
Southern Maryland most of her adult life.
I learned her relationship with her mother
was very hurtful and, at an early age, she
did little to encourage her or provide a role
model for behavior. She was able to overcome the challenges presented to her as a
child and these early life experiences helped
form her determination to become all she
can be while being able to relate to the

needy communities she devotedly serves.
For many years she has been a woman of
faith and an advocate for those often misunderstood groups who have faced many
forms of prejudice in their lives. Her decades of servitude include helping members of every race and creed of every social
economic class and age. Her long record
includes working with the African American community of Baltimore to teen parents and the youth of the Tri County area.
Bonnie completed her registered nurse
training in North Carolina and worked as
an Obstetrics RN there and later in Thoracic surgery at George Washington Hospital
in DC. She married and placed her career
on hold to raise her two small daughters.
As a stay at home mom, she soon realized the need to begin to focus on who she
was and get out and volunteer and use her
skills in some form of meaningful work.
Her deep empathy for people, her ability
to work with young men and women, and
her love of theatre and dance provided
for her first volunteer work with her childrens local theatre camp. This experience
led to her hiring by the Governors Office
on Children, Youth and Families, serving
in neighborhoods in the city and working
with organizations in rural parts of the
state. To quote an earlier writer, Bonnie
has worn the hat of advocate, trainer, and
facilitator in various capacities throughout
her career.
In addition to serving as the Executive
Director of SMCR, she is also involved in
the Archdiocese of Washington Special
Needs Ministry, worked with the Classic
Community Corporation in Dowell, served
as the College of Southern Maryland and St.
Marys Schools
Youth Facilitator
and Instructor
for Life After
High School,
ARC of Southern
Maryland
as a Transition
Youth Coordinator for the Tri
County area, and
Maryland Parental Information
Resource Center
Regional Coordinator among
many other roles.
Bonnie is currently a member of the St.
Marys County
Commission for
People with Disabilities, Board
of
Directors
for Harmony
Through Education, Special
Education Task
Force for the
Archdiocese of
Washington, St.
Marys County
Public Schools
Committee on
Education That Is
Multicultural, and the
Ladies of Charity and
Society of St. Vincent
de Paul at St. Aloysius
Church in Leonardtown
to mention a few! I told
you she is a real busy
person!
Her lists of Achievements and Awards
are quite numerous as
well; some of her more
notable
recognitions
include:
* Freedom
Fund
Award from the
NAACP
*
Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Humanitarian Award from
Human Relations Commission f Anne
Arundel County
*
First Honorary Young MarineHonorary Member of the Marine
CorpsLeague
*
Mayoral Citation from the City
ofBaltimore
*
Mayoral recognition - Community
Contribution for Development of Anne
Arundel Hospice
I could go on and on with this story of
this remarkable lady. What you have just
read are really just the highlights of her
long years of service to the community,
the Tri Counties, and the State. She tells
me she has enjoyed all of the roles God has
provided her over the years and is so grateful for these opportunities! She is amazing!
Bonnie, thank you for allowing me to share
your great story with the people of South-
ern Maryland! You are a beautiful person

and I wish you many more years of doing
what you do. And I really look forward to
next years Dragon Boat Races!!!
