Fireghters Town Council Rejects

Salary Increase
Recovering By Dick Myers
Staff Writer

After Crash
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Following the crash of a re truck from the
Dunkirk Volunteer Fire Department over the
weekend, two seriously injured reghters
are now out of the hospital and recovering at
home, according to the re company chief.
Both are expected to make a full recovery
in the coming weeks, said Fire Chief Wil-
liam Rector
Tanker 5 overturned on Robinson Road
March 18 as it was responding to a re alarm,
according to re station reports, after a cata-
strophic blowout of one of its tires.
Lt. Marty Sealey was driving the tanker
truck at the time of the crash, while Lt. John
Faulkner was the ofcer in command.
Both men were eventually transported to
MedStar in Washington, D.C. in critical but
stable condition.
The Calvert County Sheriffs Ofce deter-
mined that the blowout occurred as the tanker
truck was negotiating a curve on Robinson
Road; the blowout included a full separation
of tire tread from the rim of the tire.
Rector said that human error was not a fac-
tor in the crash, though the loss of the tanker
forced the company to nd a replacement ei-
ther by borrowing one from another jurisdic-
tion or leasing one.
Were exploring all options, Rector said.
Either way were going to buy a new tanker.
A new tanker could cost
about $500,000, he said, and
take between nine months to a
year to obtain.
The severity of the accident
meant that the outcome could
have become much worse, he
said.
There are a lot of silver lin-
ings in this, Rector said.
The Town Council of Chesapeake Beach
has rejected a proposal to increase their sal-
ary from $3,000 to $5,000 a year. The deci-
sion came on a 5-1 vote, with Councilman
Stewart Cumbo the only one to support the
increase.
The voters of town in the November elec-
tion overwhelmingly approved in a non-
binding advisory vote that the mayor and
town council should receive for the rst time
an annual stipend. The proposal on the bal-
lot was for an $18,000 a year salary for the
mayor and $3,000 for each council member.
But the lame duck council, on Dec. 15 voted
to increase the proposed council member
salary to $5,000 yearly.
The previous boards decision had to
be ratied with a budget amendment for
$6,459 to cover the increase from Dec. 15.
That amendment came up for hearing at the
March 16 meeting.
Cumbo, along with Council Vice Presi-
dent Valerie L. Beaudin and Mayor Pat
Irish Mahoney, were the only holdover that he hoped would also involve North
members from the previous board. Cumbo
told the council he didnt believe the town
residents cared one way or the other whether
the council was paid three or ve thousand
dollars. He said the duties of the council and
the time required were justication for the
higher salary.
The other
members dis-
agreed and
turned down
funding the
extra monies
for the sal-
ary increase
that had been
initiated by
the previous
board. Chesapeake Beach Councilman
Stewart Cumbo
In other
matters at the March 16 meeting of the May-
or and Town Council:
The council approved funding $1,000 for
a sponsorship of the new North Beach Film
Festival this summer. Several council mem-
bers expressed hope that if the festival goes
for a second year that some of the venues
could be in Chesapeake Beach.
Councilman Lawrence Jaworski ex-
plained the new Taste of Chesapeake Beach
Beach. Like the Taste of Solomons, the event
would feature samples of local restaurants. It
would be held the Saturday after Labor Day
at a yet to be determined location.

The Town Council of Chesapeake Beach
has awarded a contract for the maintenance
dredging of Fishing Creek. The contract to
Southern Maryland Dredging, Inc. is for
$151,500 plus a $28,599 contingency. The
project will be funded with a $130,000 grant
from the Maryland Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) supplemented with monies
already budgeted in the towns dredge fund.
The approval came at the towns regularly

scheduled March 16 meeting at which Mayor
Pat Irish Mahoney said, Fishing Creek is a
big part of the economic engine of this town.
The creek not only is home to the town char-
ter boat eet but also to many recreational
craft. The town bills itself as having the larg-
est charter boat eet on the Bay.
Before the approval, Ron Draper, at Mayor
Mahoneys invitation, spoke on behalf of
recreational boaters. Draper owns a boat at
Windward Key. He said that the charter board
industry normally considers the silting in of
the channel to a depth of three feet to be the
point where concern is raised. But Draper
said the Army Corps of Engineers considers
nine feet to be their standard. He said there
is currently a sailboat stranded in the creek.
The channel maintenance dredging will be to

if he asked for that amount of money now,

Chambers to Leave Planners Select McHugh

Calvert Chamber
Takes Position with Salisbury Chamber
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Calvert County Chamber of Commerce
President/CEO Bill Chambers has in-
formed its members that he is leaving it
take a position with the Salisbury chamber.
Chambers assumed the position two years
ago, replacing Carolyn McHugh, who re-
tired. McHugh last week was elected chair-
man of the Calvert County Planning Com-
mission (see separate story).
According to a press release issued when
he was selected. Chambers has 35 years
of experience as a professional manager, a
proven track record of working collegially
with business leaders, elected officials and
officials of association and governing bod-
ies. He has served as Executive Director of
the Arts Council of Calvert County since
2012 and General Manager of The Show
Place Arena and Prince Georges Eques-
trian Center from 1979 to 2011.
Chambers sent out the following email
to chamber members last week: I will
be leaving the Calvert Chamber in early
April of this year. I have been selected to
be the new President/CEO of the Salisbury
Area Chamber of Commerce in Salisbury,
Maryland. On behalf of my wife Cindy and
our family, we have so many dear friends
here in Calvert and we will miss everyone!
It has been a distinct honor to serve
all of you as your President, I do not have
words enoughto express my gratitude.
The Chamber staff is exceptional and your
Board of Directors is one of the best in
Maryland!
The Board is working to seat a selec-
tion committee for your new President/
CEO and I am certain they will succeed in
selecting an outstanding leader! I look for-
ward to seeing everyone over the coming
weeks and at the April 1st Chocolovers Af-
fair event at Asbury Solomons.
as Chairman
Commissioners to Fill Three Vacancies
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Planning Commis-
sion has made it official. At their March 15
meeting they unanimously elected Carolyn
McHugh, who had been serving as acting
chairman, to officially hold the position for
the next year. McHugh had been serving
temporarily since the removal last Novem-
ber of then chairman Maurice Lusby.
McHugh served as executive director
and chief operating officer of the Calvert
County Chamber of Commerce for 14 years
(1998-2012) prior to her retirement She
thanked the planning commission mem-
bers for their vote of confidence in select-
ing her.
Unanimously elected as vice chairman
for the coming year was Gregory Kernan.
The commission currently has three va-
cancies, including the spot held by Lusby.
The term of member William Glascock, III
expired in February.
In November then commission vice
chairman Michael Phipps was also relieved
of his positon but the Calvert County Board
of County Commissioners (BOCC) later
gave him the option of serving as an alter-
nate. According to County Administrator
Terry Shannon, Phipps declined to accept
that appointment.
The BOCC had originally scheduled to
make the three appointments at their March
14 meeting but the decision was postponed
for two weeks to give the planning com-
mission time to make a recommendation.
The planners went into executive session to
talk about the appointments at their Mar h
15 meeting.
The memo on the appointments available
with the commissioners March 14 agenda
showed that alternates Teresa Buehler and
Terry Jones would be appointed to full
membership along with Christopher Moore.
That would leave the BOCC with two alter-
nate vacancies to fill. Presumably the three
names were presented for discussion at the
planning commission executivesession.
Jones and Buehler have been serving
as alternates and sitting at meetings since
the vacancies with the firing of Lusby and
Phipps. At issue in their firing by the BOCC
(on a 3-2 vote) was the planning commis-
sions continuing to pay for outside legal
counsel after the commissioners ordered
them to make such requests in writing. The

commissioners also alleged that the plan-

Calvert Education Association coordinated a human bridge along Dares Beach Road.
Commissioners Urged
to Fully Fund Schools
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The human bridge lined Dares Beach
Road from Routes 2/4 to the Calvert Pines
Senior Center. Many were wearing red.
They were Calvert County Public Schools
(CCPS) teachers and other employees,
parents and students and they were there
to send a message. They want the county
commissioners to fully fund the proposed
superintendents budget.
The approximately 200 people marcched
into the senior center to attend the March
21 public hearing on the county staff pro-
posed budget with school system funding
that is about $2 million short of what the
superintendent is asking.
The superintendents budget has one
current STEP increase and one makeup
STEP consistent with the negotiated agree-
ments with the employee bargaining units.
Several of the commissioner have contend-
ed that the school system with proper bud-
geting can fund the extra STEP increase.
The proposed budget also includes 23 new
positions, although several are currently
funded with grants.
After presentations from county Finance
and Budget staff and Superintendent Dr.
Daniel Curry, more than two dozen peo-
ple spoke, many encouraging full fund-
ing. Calvert Education Association (CEA)
President Dennis Mooney, speaking for
the teachers, said many were leaving to
work in systems that pay more. He asked,
Does Calvert County really want to be the
Number One school system in the state or
something less.
Former Maryland Secretary of Agricul-
ture Buddy Hance of Por Republic said of
Calvert Education Association President Dennis Mooney
The Calvert County Times
the school system, We are slowly declin-
ing. He said education had three legs -- fa-
cilities, resources and teachers. But he said,
Teachers hold the system together.
Sunderlands Broadview Church Pastor
Rev. Jennifer Wilder, a former high school
teacher, energized the crowd by imploring
the commissioners, Please dont try to di-
vide us.
Parent Gary Dzivec said of the school
systems budget request, Its a no brain-
er. He said he personally would be willing
to pay higher taxes to fund it.
But several speakers disagreed. South-
ern Maryland Association of Realtors Gov-
ernment Affairs Director Theresa Kuhns
begged the commissioners on behalf of
its members not o increase property taxes
to fund the budget. Property and income
taxes make up 92 percent of the proposed
budgets revenue.
Education was not the only topic on the
public hearing speakers minds. Several
others urged a risk assessment and emer-
gency evacuation plan for Dominion Cove
Point Plant. This years budget includes a
$25 million PILOT (Payment in Lieu of
Taxes) from Dominion.
Sheriff Mike Evans asked for an ad-
ditional four-percent salary increase for
deputies and correctional officers in addi-
tion to the proposed one-percent Cost of
Living Adjustment (COLA) and one STEP
increase for county employees. He said he
too is losing staff to adjacent counties.
The commissioners will now go back to
the drawing board for the proposed $281
million budget with no tax increases that
represents 14.2 percent more than this year.
They also will tackle a $51.8 million FY 18
Capital Budget request and their Water and
Sewer and Solid Waste funds.
Staff say there are $7 million in unre-
solved issues, including 77 new full-time
staff that are not in their recommended
budget
The public will have another crack at the
budget after the commissioners fine tune
it and make their recommendation. That
public hearing will be May 23. People can
make comments in writing to them up to
that time.

Chesapeake Senators
Urge Appropriators to
Reject Bay Funding Cuts
U.S. Senators representing the Chesa-
peake Bay Watershed blasted President
Trumps budget released Thursday that
would zero out funding for the Environ-
mental Protection Agencys Chesapeake
Bay Program and severely cut funding for
other core programs to maintain and restore
the health of the Bay, which is an economic
lifeline for the region. Led by Senator Ben
Cardin (D-Md.), Senators Tom Carper (D-
Del.), Bob Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.), Mark War-
ner (D-Va.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.),
Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), Chris Coons (both
D-Del.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Chris Van
Hollen (D-Md.) joined together as a regional
delegation to immediately urge appropria-
tors to reject the shortsighted and dangerous
cuts put forward by President Trump. Their
letter can be found here and is in full below.
President Trumps budget cannot be
taken seriously. He claims to want to help
strengthen our economy and create jobs
while simultaneously wanting to elimi-
nate critical federal investments that allow
Chesapeake Bay states like Maryland to
prosper, said Senator Cardin. The presi-
dent needs to understand that a healthy Bay
means a healthy economy and this cannot
be accomplished without a strong federal
partner. Less pollution means more oysters
and crabs, healthier farmland, more boats
and tourism on the water, and more jobs. rely on this funding to ensure that we can
As a region, we are urging appropriators to
quickly reject the presidents budget before
the absurdity of his proposed cuts causes
ripples of uncertainty and fear across the en-
tire Chesapeake Bay watershed economy.
Thousands of Delawareans and millions
across our region depend on a clean and
healthy Chesapeake Bay. Slashing the fund-
ing that allows the EPA to maintain this
environmental and economic resource is
short-sighted and irresponsible, said Sena-
tor Carper. Its critical that we keep fight-
ing to protect the Chesapeake Bay so that
our children and grandchildren can enjoy it
the same way we have for generations.
At a time when Chesapeake Bay health is
finally showing signs of improvement, this
Administration ought to be doubling down
on efforts to reduce pollution, not drastical-
ly cutting back, said Senator Casey. I will
continue to fight for additional resources to
help Pennsylvania and all Chesapeake Bay
states meet their cleanup obligations.
The Presidents budget proposal to en-
tirely eliminate funding for the Chesapeake
Bay cleanup effort is incredibly short-sight-
ed. The Chesapeake Bay is an essential
economic engine in this region, supporting
thousands of jobs in the fishery and tour-
ism industries and generating millions in
revenue each year, Senator Warner said.
Since the implementation of the Chesa-
peake Bay Program in 1983, weve seen
tremendous improvements in the health of
the Bay. I strongly urge congressional ap-
Local News 5
propriators to reject the Presidents request,
and look forward to working with the entire
regional delegation to Congress to ensure
we dont endanger the years of progress that
have been made in restoring the health of
the Chesapeake Bay.
Cutting the programs that protect our
clean water wont create good-paying jobs,
it wont raise wages for workers in the re-
gion, and it certainly wont make anyone
healthier, said Senator Gillibrand. Con-
gress should reject President Trumps irre-
sponsible budget proposal and instead fight
for funding that protects the health, safety,
and economic wellbeing of all Americans.
As I have said, I havent met a West Vir-
ginian that doesnt want clean air to breathe
and clean water to drink, Senator Manchin
said. The Chesapeake Bay is an invaluable
body of water that does wonders for our
ecosystem. I am proud of the work that has
been done through these programs to re-
store the nations largest estuary, and I look
forward to working with my colleagues to
maintain their existence.
We are blessed in Delaware with lands
and waterways that are a source of pride, in-
cluding the Nanticoke River, said Senator
Coons. The Chesapeake Bay supports the
livelihoods of millions across our region,
and our state agencies and landowners
continue to be careful stewards of the bay.
I will keep fighting to ensure that we can
continue to preserve the health of this vital
resource.
Because of bipartisan support for Ches-
apeake Bay cleanup, pollution is down, oys-
ter and crab populations are up, and more
people are able to enjoy the Bay. Saving the
Bay is good for the environment and good
for the economy, Senator Kaine said. In
his joint address to Congress, President
Trump stated that his Administration will
work to promote clean air and clean water.
But today, just two weeks later, his budget
proposes to eliminate the Chesapeake Bay
Program. It is clear now what the Presi-
dents promises are worth.
The budget cuts proposed by President
Trump would seriously damage our ef-
forts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and
threaten the jobs that depend on a healthy
Bay ecosystem, Senator Van Hollen said.
There is absolutely no justification for
loosening rules on polluters and disman-
tling the Bay cleanup effort, which is what
the Administrations proposal would do.
We must stand together and fight for the
Bay so that the watermen, the tourism and
boating industries, and all those who value
clean water and clean air are protected from
the Trump Administrations assault on our
environment.
From Office of U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin.

Useful Dysfunction
Warning and a hedged promise: A tired,
perhaps psychologically unhealthy topic
follows. Brave ittheres a 50% chance
youll be glad you did.
For my entire childhood and through my
teenage years, the NFL team in Washington
was a source of joy and tremendous pride.
It provided many victorious Sunday after-
noons, great memories with family and
dear friends and a little strut in my step on
Monday mornings as I confronted the prior
weeks naysayers.
The metrics Washington produced be-
tween 1982 and 1993 are unimaginable now
- 10 winning seasons, eight playoff appear-
ances, 16 playoff wins, four Super Bowl
appearances, three championships and five
Hall of Famers. Thats fairytale stuff, but it
happenedI think. I have trinkets maga-
zines, shirts, pennants, Wheaties boxes, etc.
that indicate it did. Faint memories still
exist in my aging, overloaded and overheat-
ed brain. Dusty VHS tapes and YouTube
videos provide concrete visual evidence.
But it seems like another lifetime, so long
ago that I may have been another organism
in this distant earthly realm, or myself on
another planet altogether.
Washingtons once great franchise is
now two-and-a-half decades into an absurd
period of persistent losing and managerial
incompetence. That joy and pride I once felt
as a child has been replaced by frustration
and embarrassment.

The Calvert County Times
Over the years, disregarded or ill-spent
draft picks, grotesquely overpaid free
agents, fumbling away internal talent like
a 28-year-old potential franchise quarter-
back named Trent Green (does this scenario
resonate in 2017?) and misguided impul-
siveness have been the organizations iden-
tity. The pervasive lack of vision, discipline
and leadership is beyond criticism now, its
is downright comical.
Recently, though, there had been flickers
of hope: The organization had adopted a
traditional front office structure, restrained
reckless spending, committed to the draft
and acquired a respectable core of talent.
The result was something that hadnt hap-
pened since grunge musics arrival: two
consecutive winning seasons.
This brief flirtation with stability and
success was apparently intolerable. Enemy
of the State/Owner Dan Snyder has recoiled
and pressed the self-destruct button
again. So far this offseason, the General
Manager, Scot McCloughan, was jettisoned
under suspicious circumstances, acrimoni-
ous negotiations with Kirk Cousins have
become an omnipresent albatross and talent
is departing for other teams. Uncertainty is
the prevailing forecast.
They were so close. After 18 mostly
humiliating years as an NFL owner, Sny-
der almost had it figured out. An extended

Like many long-time and aging fans, this
latest chapter has left me despondent but
philosophical. Im wondering, sometimes
aloud and to the chagrin of my wife/thera-
pist, what usefulness this team and its con-
stant dysfunction has in my life. Do I need
the added angst and negativity? Would this
relationship pass any rational test of healthy
living? Dont I have better things to do with
my time?
But then it occurred to me: This is no
longer a football team, it is a metaphor
for life. Washington fans are following a
team while trapped in a Bob Dylan song.
They almost had it figured out only to fall
victim to ever-present shortcomings and
familiar trappings. Ive almost had many
Galeano Returns as CSM
Mens Soccer Head Coach
College sports take students beyond the
classroom and into a sense of community,
and Tony Galeano wants to go another step
further and take his team beyond the field
and into life. The newly named College
of Southern Maryland mens soccer coach
will be drawing from his experience coach-
ing in previous years to create a program
that is both strong and holistic.
This is not the first time Galeano has
coached soccer at CSM he was the mens
soccer coach from 2002 to 2011, and then
coached womens soccer in 2015. Both
times he stopped coaching, life was taking
him down different paths and away from
coaching, but he has managed to return,
ready to apply new experiences and knowl-
edge to the job.
When he left the mens team, his day job
had changed and making time for the soc-
cer team became impossible. Still, the team
won the regional tournament that year,
with the coaching staff and team that he
had trained and the program he had started.
Galeano said the winning season, despite
his departure, is a testament to the kind
of team work that is required for any suc-
cessful sports program. No team is just one
person, and setting a strong foundation is
just as important as any one team members
performance.
As he returns this year for a season that
will officially begin in August, Galeano
said he has a plan for a comprehensive pro-
gram that will focus not just on the physical
skills of the players, but on their character,
as well.
Athletics is a good way to get prepared
for life, Galeano said. We want to find
good student athletes that are students first,
athletes second. We want the players
who wear our jerseys to be seen as good
role models and citizens.
Galeano said he has worked for CSM in
some capacity since he was 16 years old,
and now that he is 41, he feels he under-
stands the mission of the college better
than ever, as well as his part in it. He is cur-
rently the aquatics and community services
coordinator.
Michelle Ruble, CSMs executive direc-
tor of student life and athletics, agreed.
We are happy to have Tony back with
CSM athletics as a head coach, Ruble said.
He brings with him a wealth of knowledge

things figured out in my life. School. The
opposite sex. Relationships. Marriage. Ca-
reer. Parenthood. The meaning of it all
the meaning of life! Almost. So closeso
many times.
Then the curve ball comes, an unforeseen
element or a layer of complexity my mod-
est mind couldnt have anticipated. And I
fall short. Im humbled and confused. Im
left searching again for some footing. But
Im never broken. Life moves on and Im
still in the game, still striving to uncover a
better me. I remain a contender, if endear-
ingly flawed. Next time Ill get it right. Next
time Ill nail it. And if not, theres always
the 30 for 30or whatever the equivalent
is for a well-intended, try hard dude/friend/
colleague/husband/son/brother/dad who is

ries of false starts, curious decision and ill-
fated excursions.

in the sport of soccer, the recruiting land-
scape of Southern Maryland and the com-
plexity of being the head coach of a junior
college sport.
Ruble said Galeano understands the col-
leges desire to go beyond the classroom
and build students character and sense of
community, as well. Working with stu-
dents outside of the classroom is a priority
of Tonys and plays a large part in retention
efforts on the team, she said.
Taking breaks from coaching allowed
Galeano to take a step back and consider all
angles of the athletics programs. His teams
were successful before his team won the
conference in 2005, 2006 and 2008, and
won the regional championships in 2003,
2005, and 2006 but he knows he can do
more.
Ive spent the last few years learn-
ing and expanding my knowledge of the
game, he said. I just want to get better
than before, make it more well-rounded and
help the students make sure they are better
prepared for life. Soccer is a good vehicle
to help them learn about life, and we get to
help them to do that.
Galeanos assistant coaches are Rodney
Fugitt and Simon French. Both have ex-
tensive backgrounds in coaching, both for
CSM and all over the world.

CSM Selects Its
New President
After an extensive nationwide
search, the College of Southern
Maryland Board of Trustees an-
nounces the selection of Dr. Mau-
reen Murphy as the fth president of
the college. Murphy, who has been
connected with community colleges
for 27 years including a decade as a
community college president, will
begin her duties on July 1.
Murphy is president of Brook-
dale Community College, a multi-
campus community college in New
Jersey. While there she has forged
partnerships with community or-
ganizations, school districts, busi-
ness and industry, donors and other
higher education institutions. Before
her appointment at Brookdale in
2012, she served as president of San
Jacinto College South in Houston,
Texas and as vice president at both
Rappahannock Community College
and Wytheville Community College
in Virginia.
The Board of Trustees is ex-
tremely pleased to announce the
appointment of Dr. Maureen Mur-
phy to lead the College of Southern
Maryland as its fth president, ef-
fective July 1. We are impressed by
the vast knowledge and experience
in the community college system
acquired by Dr. Murphy during her
career in education. Her academic
qualications, signicant leadership
skills, and the ability to operate a
multi-campus college make her an
excellent t for CSM. This expertise
will enable her to build upon CSMs
strong reputation in academia and
workforce training while foster-
ing positive relationships with the
students, faculty, staff and the local
community, said CSM Board Chair
Dorothea Smith.
I am honored to be invited to
serve the College of Southern Mary-
land, and I look forward to working
alongside the CSM family as we con-
tinue to support the needs of the tri-
county region, said Murphy.
While at Brookdale, Murphy
developed four early college high
school programs, launched the As-
bury Park College Promise pro-
gram for free tuition for all qualied
graduates and directed recovery ef-
forts after Hurricane Sandy to have
the college operational within two
and a half weeks. Additionally, af-
ter signicant funding declines, she
realigned the college to focus more
sharply on local workforce needs
and economic development. She
founded the Poseidon Early College
High School, a rst in New Jersey,
which allows rst-generation stu-
dents the opportunity to earn an
associate degree concurrent with
their high school studies. Further,
this initiative was funded with a $1
million gift, the largest single gift in
The Calvert County Times
the colleges history. Murphy also
spearheaded the rst Minority Male
Conference, a collaboration with the
Panhellenic Council, to support the
academic achievement of minority
male students, which received na-
tional recognition from the Associa-
tion of Community College Trustees.
Murphy began her career teach-
ing English at St. Louis Community
College-Meramec, where she later
served as a dean. Murphy is commit-
ted to social justice and equity. She
has been an active member of the
American Association for Women
in Community Colleges (AAWCC)
since 1995, and has served on the na-
tional board (two years as president)
since 2007.
She has received numerous
awards including the Shirley B.
Gordon Award of Distinction by
Phi Theta Kappa, the Distinguished
Corporate Leadership Award by
the Greater Red Bank NAACP and
the Carolyn DesJardins CEO of the
Year Award by AAWCC. Currently,
Murphy is on the board of directors
for the American Association of
Community Colleges, the national
organization representing more than
1,100 colleges.
Murphy earned her bachelors de-
gree in English from the University
of Louisville, her masters degree in
English from the University of Mis-
souri Columbia and her doctor-
ate in American Studies from Saint
Louis University.
Murphy succeeds Dr. Brad Gott-
fried, who will retire from CSM
June 30. Appointed CSMs fourth
president in 2006, Gottfried has
been associated with community
colleges for more than 40 years.
While at CSM, he has had a signi-
cant impact, including expanding the
college with a Regional Hughesville
Campus, increasing CSMs partner-
ships and articulations, and keep-
ing higher education affordable and
accessible.
Dr. Murphy has an outstanding
reputation among community col-
lege presidents, said Gottfried. I
look forward to CSMs continued
growth under her leadership.
As incoming chair of the board
I am looking forward to working
with Dr. Murphy in her capacity of
president of CSM. Her years of ex-
perience in community colleges that
support rural and urban areas will
serve her well here at CSM. She has
had signicant impacts at each of the
institutions she has directed and has
excellent experience in operations
of multi-campus facilities similar
to what we have here at CSM, said
Trustee Vice Chair Ted Harwood.
While I am saddened by the retire-
ment of Brad Gottfried, I am enthu-
siastic about Dr. Murphys capability
Dr. Maureen Murphy
Dr. Maureen Murphy
to take the strategic guidance that the
board and Brad have created for the
college and to seamlessly implement
that vision in the coming years.
The presidential search process
began in September 2016 by CSMs
trustees who appointed a search
committee, chaired by trustee Mi-
chael L. Middleton and comprised of
representatives from the board, the
CSM Foundation, faculty, alumni
and the La Plata, Leonardtown and
Prince Frederick campuses. Ad-
ditionally, focus groups with each
of the colleges County Advisory
Councils in Calvert, Charles and
St. Marys counties and informa-
tion sessions with college employees
were held to prepare the presidential
prole and preferred qualications.
Approximately 40 applications
were reviewed and the search com-
mittee nalized consideration to
three individuals. Of those, one de-
clined further consideration and the
two remaining candidates partici-
pated in site visits of the college dur-
ing February and toured the colleges
four campuses. They interacted with
the college leadership, faculty, stu-
dents and staff, as well as had the op-
portunity to meet with each countys
advisory council, business leaders
and community members during
forums at each campus. Forums at-
tendance averaged over 175 people
per candidate.
Middleton praised the Presidential
Search Committee for its thorough
review of the candidates and the
evaluations provided by those who
met with the candidates during their
campus visits. Our search com-
mittee was composed of a talented
group of individuals who were repre-
sentative of CSMs many stakehold-
ers, Middleton said. They worked
continually for six months, carefully
reviewing the many applications re-
ceived from across the country. Per-
sonal interviews were held with the
selected individuals to narrow the
eld to the nalists. Those nalists
then met with the college and local
community prior to the trustees
selection. I am very proud of the
sincere effort contributed by each
committee member. CSM was well-
served by their deliberations.

Gottfried Gives Final
State of the College
Report in Calvert
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
There were a lot of kudos all around as College of
Sothern Maryland (CSM) President Dr. Brad Gottfried
gave his nal State of the College annual report March
14 to the Calvert County Board of County Commission-
ers (BOCC). Gottfried is retiring on July 1. The CSM
Board of Trustees announced last week that Dr. Mau-
reen Murphy (see separate story) would succeed Gott-
fried, who has been president s8bc 2006.
Gottfried praised the Calvert County Commissioners
for their support and in turn they praised him for his ac-
complishments. There is no clone of Dr. Gottfried, said
Commissioner Vice President Evan Slaughenhoupt Jr.
Commissioner Mike Hart said he believed that Dr.
Gottfried really cared about the college and the com-
munity. You cant pay for someone to really care,
Hart sad.
Commissioner Pat Nutter, whose granddaughter at-
tends CSM, said, It is just a great place, adding that he
was really proud of CSM.
Gottfried said he wasnt going anywhere that he
and his wife Linda were staying right here in Southern
Maryland. He is a Civil War historian and he said he
would continue to be working on his series on the wars
battleelds
The outgoing president praised the second building
at the Prince Frederick campus, saying that other coun-
ties would love to have the facility. But, the crown jewel
of his tenure, he said, is the new regional campus in
Hughesville, which is scheduled to have its ribbon cut-
ting this spring and see is rst students soon. There is
nothing like it in the region or maybe even the state,
he said.
The college has been challenged during Gottfrieds
tenure with declining enrollments due to the economy,
which has affected community colleges nationwide.
But total enrollment is now back higher than in the
year he started, 2006 (25,411 vs. 21,366). The increases
have been fueled largely by non-credit admissions. In
Calvert, the dual enrollment between high schools and
CSM have been very effective in helping those numbers,
Gottfried said.
Gottfried said that CSM is now much more diverse
that when he started, having 26 percent African-Amer-
ican enrollment in 2016 as compared to 19 percent
in 2006.
Gottfried is also proud of the enhanced services at
CSM for veterans, although he noted that the Prince
Frederick campus does not yet have a Veterans Lounge
that the other campuses have.
The college has programs for both high achievers (he
Presidential Scholars Program) and students with dis-
abilities and emotional issues.
Also, appearing with Dr. Gottfried in his nal State
of the College report was Prince Frederick Campus Vice
President Richard Fleming.

 10 Feature Story
This Story Will Make You S.M.I.L.E.
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
This is one of those good news stories
that should put a smile on your face!
We have the good fortune to reside in an
area where people truly look after one an-
other when there is need. Many great local
charitable organizations have been formed
during the past twenty-five years to take
care of the most vulnerable of our citizens,
folks whose quality of life issues are not
always met by our local governments and
agencies. One of the premier charities of
the area is our good friends at S.M.I.L.E.
[Service Makes Individual Lives Excit-
ing]. This ecumenical group of clergy and
lay person volunteers have been serving
our poor since 1991.
S,M.I.L.E. is staffed with 175 individu-
als of many religious denominations and
backgrounds that have come together in a
common goal to enhance the lives of those
needy families living amongst us. They do
this as a means and a model of Christs
love. Over time they have expanded their
services to include food distribution, cloth-
ing furniture, school supplies, and job
training to name a few. As they have grown,
they now will provide emergency funding
for energy assistance, rent, evictions, fore-
closures, health needs and prescriptions
when needs can be substantiated. Seldom,
if ever, do they turn down anyone with a
bona fide reason to seek their support.
This charity came about in the early
1990s when a group of concerned mem-
bers of seven churches in the Solomons and
Lusby area recognized the growing issues
with lower income families who seem to be
forgotten as the areas economy started to
grow. The two counties of Calvert and St.
Marys benefitted from the rapid growth
of the nearby Naval Aircraft Warfare Cen-
The Calvert County Times
ter at Patuxent River. A few years later,
Department of Defense spending almost
doubled locally with the transfer of the
Naval Air Systems Command Headquar-
ters to Patuxent from Northern Virginia,
making the area one of the most affluent
in the State. Something needed to be done
to take care of the lesser well off families
who, through no fault of their own, were
left behind in both the jobs market and the
housing market.
The original group of charter members
drew up a set of By-Laws, formed the Ar-
ticles of Incorporation and filed as a non-
profit 501c[3] organization while sitting
around a dining table at a members pri-
vate home. A board of directors consisting
of a president, a vice president, secretary,
and treasurer was formed. Additionally,
one clergy and two members from each
congregation filled out the management
staff. All programs were to be guided by
volunteer coordinators for the program.
These folks meet monthly to hear reports
from the directors and coordinators for the
various programs to decide on the actions
to take in operating the charity. As an all-
volunteer organization with no paid staff,
the board members take an active hands-on
role in administering the total operation.
In the beginning, the group worked out
of the unused parsonage of the Solomons
United Methodist church. Eventually the
home was sold and all the items and goods
that were collected were moved to trailers
behind the Solomons Volunteer Fire De-
partment until another building could be
located. Fortunately, with the generosity of
a benefactor, several churches, and individ-
ual donors, S.M.I.L.E. moved to its current
facility on the grounds near Middleham
Chapel/St. Peters Parish on H G Trueman
Road in Lusby. If you have visited this
building recently you know they are bust-
ing at the seams with the large quantity of
goods that are being delivered to them on
a weekly basis by the many fine citizens in
the area. It is true charity at its finest!
From the start, they have operated a
thrift store that generates the majority of
the funding that is used to obtain groceries
and other items for their food pantry. Ad-
ditionally, some of the profit from the thrift
shop is used to provide the financial back-
ing for the Emergency Assistance program.
They accept all types of usable furni-
ture, furnishings, appliances, and clothing
articles for all ages. They partner with lo-
cal grocery stores and government agen-
cies to gather perishable food to distribute
to the hungry. Each month they host a staff
member from the Tri County Community
Assistance Center to take applications for
energy assistance to pay heating bills dur-
ing extremely cold months as well as help
with the costs for cooling during the sum-
mer months. Further, these fine folks have
provided a Jobs Bus for training, transport-
ing folks without means for transportation
to unemployment offices, and hosting rep-
resentatives from nearby firms to take ap-
plications for open job opportunities.
Some of S.M.I.L.E.s more notewor-
thy accomplishments include providing
Christmas dinners to more than 200 guests
at the American Legion Post in Lusby each
year, preparing Thanksgiving Dinner bas-
kets for 400 families, and monthly food
distributions to more than 4000 County
residents. Additionally, they put great em-
phasis in ecumenical worship services in
encouraging people of all faiths to come
together in Solomons each Good Friday by
hosting an awesome Ecumenical Service
where all parade from St. Peters Church
to Our Lady Star of the Sea Church with
clergy alternating the carrying of the Cross
in leading this procession. This gathering
of Christians of many faiths is both impres-
sive and inspiring and makes the celebra-
tion of Easter all the more significant.
From its meager beginnings when
churches were small, yet hearts were large,
S.M.I.L.E. has emerged as one of the true
pillars of the community. This great collec-
tion of unsung heroes has been recog-
nized with many citations and awards for
the extraordinary support they have provid-
ed the needy of Southern Maryland. They
have built a solid reputation of excellence
that is well known at the local and State
level. Among recent acknowledgements is
a citation from the Governor of Maryland
Thursday, March 23, 2017
and several from the Calvert County Board
of County Commissioners and other agen-
cies within the Tri-Countyarea.
A special recognition to all their volun-
teers was made in the presentation of The
Father Alexander Award for their 25th
Anniversary of service to the community.
This award is named for the Father Mau-
rice Alexander, the first pastor of Our Lady
Star of the Sea Parish, who was able to
build a church and a school with absolutely
no money in hand. The good priest was
able to persuade people of affluence, small
business owners, and others in forming a
nationwide appeal to obtain donations no
matter how small in hopes of making his
parish become a center for Christian wor-
ship and education in Calvert County. And
to many, it was this same will and deter-
mination, and a little Divine Providence
thrown in for good measure on the part of
the original charter members that made the
formation of S.M.I.L.E. possible as well.
The following twelve churches serve
as the foundation for this ecumenical
organization:
Solomons United Methodist
Church, Solomons
Patuxent Presbyterian Church,
California
Christ Episcopal, Port Republic
Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic
Church, Solomons
Middleham Chapel, Lusby
Southern Calvert Baptist, Lusby
St. John United Methodist Church,
Lusby
St. Peters Episcopal Parish,
Solomons
St. Pauls United Methodist Church,
Lusby
Olivet United Methodist Church,
Lusby
Harvest Fellowship, Lusby
Eastern United Methodist Church,
Lusby
During this time when great divisiveness
has gripped our country and led to negative
protests and public displays of our many
differences of opinion, it is truly refresh-
ing to see so many of our citizens from all
backgrounds and creeds come together for
the common good in an effort to care for
the unfortunate of our region

Mobile Health Center
Visits Local Food Pantry
Calvert Memorial Hospital (CMH) ar-
rived on Thursday, March 9 at the parking
lot of the Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry of
Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown, MD.
Their Mobile Health Center provides care
to some of Calvert Countys most needy
people; people who use our local county
foodpantries.
Chesapeake Cares is always trying to
care for our clients with excellence, in the
best way we can. When I heard about the
CMH Medical Health Center, I knew it was
a great opportunity to bring care to where we
already serve our clients, said Tracy How-
ard, Food Pantry Administrator. Thats
what the hospital is passionate about so it was
just the melding of our twopassions.
The Mobile Health Center travels toun-
der-served areas of our communityto bring
essential primary care services,dental, pre-
vention and wellness programsto residents
who do not have access totraditional health
care. Its the brainchild of CMH President
and CEO Dean Teague, The Mobile Health
Unit is part of a broader effort to provide
education, outreach and support to help
people stay healthy to reduce the onset of
disease and to help those with chronic ill-
nesses manage them more effectively. The
center provides general consults, medical
care, screenings, blood pressure checks and,
most importantly, they connect with patients.
CMH is ready, willing and passionate about
serving the community in this way. And its
completely free.
17
Our main focus is the engage people
in their health. I like to think this is an en-
gagement center; we meet people wher-
ever they are. Most importantly, we want
to improve their overall health and build a
relationship with them. Margaret Fowler
Director, Community Wellness at CMH.
The Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry
serves over 700 families every week. With
most clients on a budget, they often do not
have enough time and money to run multi-
ple errands during the day. The partnership
between Chesapeake Cares and CMH com-
bines their need for food and their need for
medical care. It meets them where theyare.
This is a natural partnership because
CMH wants to bring their mobile health cen-
ter to people who might not ordinarily come
to the hospital; our Food Pantry is a natural
gathering place for folks in the county who
are having tough times, said Robert Hahn,
Senior Pastor of Chesapeake Church. Usu-
ally health care, standard checkups, things
like that are the first things that begin to fall
off the radar when people hit a tough eco-
nomic patch because they just dont have the
time or insurance or the ability to get to a
doctor to get checkedout.
The Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry is a
ministry of Chesapeake Church. They are
hosting the CMH Medical Health Center
the first Thursday of the month from 9AM-
12PM. For more information about the food
pantry, call 410-257-3334 or visit chesapeak-
