School Capacity Impacts County man Honored
North County Growth for Heroism
Easing Growth Controls Could Be on the Horizon
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Recording of new residential subdivi-
sion development is currently prohibited
in Calvert County in areas served by four
schools that are at capacity. The northern
part of Calvert County is currently closed
to new residential subdivision develop-
ment (except for the Twin Beaches). Thats
because the high school that serves that
area, Northern High School, is currently
at 116 percent of its capacity of 1,223 stu-
dents. A new school is being built and the
old one will be demolished, but the new
school will bring the capacity up to 1,440,
which is anticipated to be right at 100 per-
cent, according to Director of School Con-
struction Shuchita Warner.
The other three schools over capacity
are Northern Middle School, and Beach
and Mt. Harmony elementary schools all
of which feed into Northern High School.
Those schools could be redistricted, but
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Daniel
Curry said the school system in the past
has been reluctant to do that just to correct
growth issues.
What is preventing the new residential
subdivision development is the Calvert
County Adequate Public Facilities Ordi-
nance (APF) which puts a halt on devel-
opment when an areas schools capacity
reaches 100 percent. So, in the area with
the most growth pressure because of
its closeness to DC and Annapolis, the
clamps are on new development.
Warner told the school board at its May
11 meeting that the commissioners will be
looking at the APF at a work session in
late June. A possibility might be, she said,
to raise the denition for the purpose of
the APF to some higher capacity number
such as 105 percent or allow the county
more time to increase a schools capacity.
The discussion about APF is embedded
in a 100-page document called Education
Facilities Master Plan FY 2019 presented
by Warner to re school board. The docu-
ment could be reading not only for people
interested in education issues, but also for
those involved in growth concerns as the
county goes through the process of updat-
ing its Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Ordinance.
The plan presented by Warner, for in-
stance, talks about growth issues in gener-
al. It states: Calvert Countys population
growth has slowed. Slow growth initia-
tives enacted by past Boards of County
Commissioners, work force migration
closer to the employment hubs and the
current economic conditions have slowed
new housing starts and commercial inter-
est. Recent information provided by the
Calvert County Department of Commu-
nity Planning and Building projects the
population of the county to grow to 95,600
residents by the year 2020. The present es-
timated county population is 91,000. Due
to the growth patterns of the past decade,
The Calvert County Times
the county has had to invest in new school
construction, public facilities, roads and
other related infrastructure, all having
a considerable nancial impact. In 2016,
226 residential building permits were is-
sued throughout the county. The number
of permits issued in 2016 was lower than
the number issued in 2015. Permits being
issued are generally from lots of record,
rather than newly recorded subdivisions.
Over the last year, however, housing in-
ventory does appear to be moving and the
percentage of foreclosures are down as a
percentage of total sales.
The Education Facilities Master Plan
also goes on to state: County growth pro-
jections indicate a at to modest 0.1% an-
nual increase through 2022. If we were
to further rene the projections, we may
nd over the next year or two that our
county population will remain level. This
assumption is solely based on current
economic factors obviously impacting
housing starts and real estate trends. The
latest information on new housing starts
shows a small percentage of homes below
$400,000. These are primarily located in
Prince Frederick and areas south. A ma-
jority of new housing starts continue to be
in the $400,000 or more price range which
are not conducive to young couples. Per
household school age student yield factors
need to be revisited for enrollment projec-
tions. The pattern of the growth within
the county appears to be consistent with
areas that are forecasted to grow. Those
areas are the central part of the county
surrounding the Prince Frederick Town
Center and the northern part of the county
which includes the Dunkirk Town Center
and the Town of Chesapeake Beach. It is
important to note that the Town of Chesa-
peake Beach, an incorporated area, is not
subject to Calvert Countys adequate pub-
lic facility regulations. Our student enroll-
ment projections reect a decline through
2021 and a attening out thereafter.
The plan also dips its feet into the wa-
ters of economic development by saying:
Economic development that will support
skilled craftsmen, technical trades, and
professional employment opportunities
continue to be elusive.
The entire plan can be downloaded
from the Calvert County Public Schools
website under the section set aside for
Board of Education meetings. You can
access the agenda for the May 11 meeting
and the document is attached under Item
6.0 Review of Educational Facilities
Master Plan.
Much of the document is lled with
information about each school, but the
beginning of the plan is replete with in-
formation about growth and development
trends in the county. Could be some good
bedtime reading.

Funding Advances for
Body Cameras, License
Plate Readers
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) has given tenta-
tive approval to the purchase by the sher-
iff of a stationary license plate camera/
reader and 63 body cameras for deputies.
Monies for the purchases will come from
revenues from electronic speed monitor-
ing cameras.
The speed monitoring cameras were
part of a program called Safety for Stu-
dents Program (SSP) initiated by the com-
missioners on July 28, 2015.
The funding proposal May 16 came
from Sheriff Mike Evans. According to
a memo from Assistant Sheriff Col. Dave
McDowell, Sheriff Evans has identified
two high-priority items he wishes to fund
with revenues from the SSP. They are as
follows: first, stationary License Plate
Readers (LPRs) for the overpass at Routes
260 & 4. As the majority of bank robberies
and armed robberies of businesses have
historically occurred in Northern Calvert,
the LPRs will effectively capture license
plate information of all vehicles entering
and exiting via Routes 260 & 4.
Secondly, he would like to purchase
63 body-worn cameras (BWCs) and the
costs to implement the cameras and relat-
ed cloud storage. The BWCs will be de-
ployed to deputies who have the most fre-
quent contact with the public. To accom-
plish this in FY 2017, the Sheriff wishes to
purchase the LPRs with the accrued rev-
enues from the SSP. In FY 2018, he wishes
to fund the new BOCC-approved position
of the Speed Monitoring Administrator,
the implementation of the BWC Program,
and recurring costs associated with both
LPRs and BWCs. These costs would be
funded with the understanding that rev-
enues from the SSP would cover the costs
over the course of the year.
The speed monitoring camera program
is generating $200,000 to $300,000 year-
ly. The license plate reader camera and
maintenance costs will be $215,047 That
money will be spent this fiscal year and
thus will require a public hearing for a
budget adjustment.
The body cameras will cost $207,783
and will require inclusion in the next fis-

cal years budget which goes to public
hearing May 23 at 7 p.m. at Calvert Pines
Senior Center.
Commissioner Pat Nutter wasnt so sure
about the ideas. I get a little chill when I
think someone is watching me constant-
ly. McDowell characterized Nuuters
concerns as big brother watching. Nut-
ter responded, Exactly!.
Regarding the license plate readers,
McDowell said the process being used has
been thoroughly vetted. Although all li-
cense plates passing through the intersec-
tion will be captured, the system will only
be accessed when needed for an investi-
gation such as a bank robbery. After that
happens, and since the intersection is the
major exit of the county, the system would
then be accessed. It only will be used as
an investigative tool he insisted.
McDowell said that body cameras were
a nationwide trend. From the sheriff on
down we support body cameras. We have
nothing to hide in what we do every day.
Body cameras have only proven to show
that police officers in this country are only
doing what they are doing ethically and
legally.
Commissioner President Tom Hejl sug-
gested that the next round of spending
from the SSP program should go for li-
cense plate readers for the southern exit
and entrance to the county.
Commissioner Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr. said he had no prob-
lem with the request before them, but he
was concerned that it hadnt been vetted
through the countys Public Safety De-
partment. He said it was his understand-
ing that the SSP monies would go to public
safety and not exclusively to the sheriff.
McDowell said that wasnt his under-
standing; he thought the sheriffs office
was the exclusive designee for the monies.
McDowell said, however, that he had no
problem running it through public safety
officials the next time.

Republican Woman if the Year Shirley Mils

Lieutenant Governor Speaks
at Annual GOP Dinner
By Dick Myers
Staff Writer
Maryland Lt. Governor Boyd Ruth-
erford had earlier in the day hosted the
Maryland Heroin and Opioid Educational
Forum in Westminster. He had traveled
May 11, after that forum in the county
west of Baltimore, all the way to Hunting-
town to be the guest speaker at the annual
Calvert County Republican Partys Lin-
coln Reagan Dinner where he was touted
for his work on the opioid epidemic. He in
turn said addressing the problem was one
of the most significant accomplishments
of the Hogan/Rutherford Administration.
Rutherford said he was humbled to be
selected by Larry Hogan as his running
mate and to now be surrounded in An-
napolis with so much history, He said his
office was once used by Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison.
Rutherford saved discussion of the
opioid crisis until the end of his speech,
instead first focusing on his administra-
tions achievements in job creation Its an
exciting economic resurgence thats going
on, he said, noting that more jobs have
been created in Maryland than the other
Mid-Atlantic states in the last two years.
He added, We have changed the whole
discussion in Annapolis.

Rutherford also pointed out the Hogan
Administrations early-on emphasis to
return customer service to state agencies
while at the same tine resisting the tax-
and-spend tendencies of the Democratic
majority
But, eventually he returned to the topic
of the opioid crisis. He underscored Gov.
Hogans declaring of a State of Emer-
gency on the problem. That declaration
gives emergency powers to state and local
law enforcement agencies. Before speak-
ing, Rutherford could be seen huddling
with Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans.
The plan includes the extra appropriation
of $50 million over the next five years to
address the issue, he said.
We will continue to focus the spot-
light on this issue, Rutherford said of the
opioid crisis. He has been designated by
Gov. Hogan as the point man to direct the
states effort in overcoming the problem.
The event sponsored by the Calvert
County Republican Central Committee
(CCRCC) was held at the Hall at Hunting-
town at the volunteer fire department. At-
tendees were welcomed by CCRCC Chair-
man Ella Ennis. Del. Mark Fisher was MC
for the event and Sen. Steve Waugh intro-
duced Rutherford. Del. Jerry
Clark also gave a recap of his
first legislative session.
Calvert County Commis-
sioner Steve Weems was hon-
ored as the Republican Man of
the Year and Carolyn Gill was
Republican Woman of the Year.
Gill was credited for resusci-
tating the Republican Woman

presenter CCRCC Vice Chair
Catherine Grasso said that club
had been on life support.
Weems, in his own inimitable
style, serenaded his mother and

gained entry into their home when they
noticed items were moved out of place.
A basement bedroom window had been
opened, a bed was in disarray and the
bathroom facilities had been used. There
was no sign of a forced entry; therefore, it
is possible the suspect knew of the loca-
tion of the hidden spare key.
Burglary Case #17-24900:
On May 13, 2017, Deputy R. Kreps re-
sponded to Stephanies Lane, in Hunting-

Virtual Football
After taking a brief hiatus, Im back - or
at least some damaged version is from a
self-imposed exile from society at-large,
D.C. sports in general and the eternally-
hexed Washington Capitals, specifically.
The Darkness, the evil force undeniably
enveloping D.C.s professional teams, over-
whelmed me.
How acute was my sports-affective dis-
order? After the inexplicable, inexcusable
and completely illogical Game 4 loss to the
Penguins, I was Caps-fan-on-fire: scream-
ing like 1980s hair metal concert goer and
using language that wouldnt make my
momma proud.
The aftermath was unprecedented: I
abandoned the Caps. With the misery nee-
dle buried in the red, I did not watch games
5-7. First time in my life Ive ever done
such a thing. Id seen this Caps script too
many times and was in no place to willfully
subject myself to the anguish. This annual
torment is the Caps Rite of Spring, if you
will, a play on the haunting/doomsdays
approaching masterpiece bywait for it
Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Game 4
broke me. I couldnt even write; a condition
critical that forced Duke Radbourn to pen
the last column while I recovered.
But enough of that. Here we are, together
again, in this fabulous moment to discuss
something of substance or at least bizarre,
like the death of major sports league.
The buried lede: The NFL wont live to
see Super Bowl C (100) in 2066, not in its
current form. The now undeniable conse-
quences on the human body and, more im-
portantly, the human brain are too great.
Countless former NFL players are suf-
fering from early on-set dementia, a diag-
nosis that is often posthumously changed to
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
Confusion. Mood swings. Child-like be-
havior. Forgetfulness. Depression. Sui-
cide. These are the symptoms. Two more
names were added to the NFLs victim list
last week: Nick Buoniconti and Jim Kiick,
teammates on the undefeated 1972 Miami
Dolphins. Many, many more will follow.
But this generation has something the
priors didnt: knowledge of footballs risks.
That knowledge will curb the NFLs talent
supply, either through increased early re-
tirements or young athletes opting for other
sports. It will also pull the leagues purse
strings as sponsors disassociate their brand

from a debilitating sport.
What does the future hold for Americas
sport?
Tom Brady, pending Madden cover boy,
might have teased the answer recently.
When playing the game with his son, Brady
disclosed that he chooses either Green Bay
or Seattle. New England? Not an option.
His son makes that claim.
Virtual football. Is that where were
headed? Is virtual reality the solution for
the NFL?
Crazy talk? Sure. Ive been a little bleary-
eyed recently. Ive flirted with the dark cor-
ners of my brain. But if you think the NFL
will just keep marching along, as is, with the
same corporate sponsors and the same sup-
ply line snaking back through colleges, high
schools and pee wee football, you arent pay-
ing attention to what professional football is
doing to its participants.
Think of these scenarios: a fully virtual
league or one where players are robots, con-
trolled remotely by humans. In the former
the players are programmed with attri-
butes size, speed, etc. with complex cod-
ing/simulation determining the outcome.
In the latter, all robots are physically iden-
tical with the game decided by the skill of
gamers. Or something like that. You get
theidea.
No more concussions. No more injuries.
Player personalities could be cultivated like
WWE stars. Gridiron superheroes. And
ponder the potential revenue growth with
the sport now globally viable and freed of
human body-imposed game limits.
But would we watch?
Of course we would. This is 2066, mind
you. When considering the technological
advances of the last 50 years, is 2066 even
sufficiently imaginable to mount a counter-
argument? And do you doubt future gen-
erations will lack the bloodthirst that makes
football so appealing?
Besides, look at us now. Concocted Face-
book lives. On-line dating. Reality televi-
sion (which is often anything but). Virtual
reality is everywhere and its getting scary-
good. Facts are routinely skewed. Fiction
thrives, even in the most important facets
of American life. If the storys compelling,
well buy a ticket and take the ride without
hardly a question asked.

Hoyer Meets with Robotics, Programs Relocate for

Cybersecurity Students Integration of Services
U.S. Congressman Steny H. Hoyer met
with the high-performing College of South-
ern Maryland (CSM) robotics and cyberse-
curity students May 9 to congratulate them
on recent collegiate achievements and to
learn more about their academic programs.
These impressive students, whose skills
were recently recognized on the world stage,
are excellent ambassadors for the College of
Southern Maryland. I was very impressed
by a demonstration of the outstanding work
these young people are doing, and I look for-
ward to seeing what they accomplish in the
future, Hoyer said.
Hoyer was introduced to the members of
the Talons, the CSM competitive robotics
team, which has just completed its best year
ever. Team members included George Jen-
kins, Edward Gesser III, Wen Xing Lin and
Dillon Mandley.
The team qualified for the VEX-U World
Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, and
made it to the semifinals, competing against
other qualifying university teams from 40
countries. In addition to the teams finish,
the Talons won the Innovate award at the
international competition for their robots
creative design.
Hoyer also congratulated the members of
the Cyberhawks; CSMs competitive cyber-
security team. Team members included Don
Price, Caleb Craft and Cody Hight.
The Cyberhawks recently won the Mary-
land Community College Cyber Competi-
tion at the Montgomery Community College
Germantown Campus. The Cyberhawks
were first in a competition against more than
20 teams from 10 Maryland community
colleges.
In addition to meeting the students and
faculty involved in CSMs robotics and
cybersecurity programs, Hoyer viewed a
demonstration in CSMs Robotics Lab by
the Talons of their two robots used in the
world championship. No guts, no glory,
Hoyer said as he attempted to successfully
maneuver the robot on his own. Talons Team
Captain, George Jenkins, stepped in to give
Hoyer some helpful pointers.
At CSMs Cybersecurity Lab, Cyberhawk
Don Price discussed with Hoyer some safety
measures discussed in CSM courses on how
people can avoid being victims of cyberat-
tacks, warning against practices like using
thumb drives from unknown sources and
using public Wi-Fi.
Price pointed out a large screen in the lab
that displayed a map of the world with nu-
merous, colorful arrows shooting from one
country to another. Each arrow represented
a hacking attempt or what Assistant Profes-
sor James Graves described as malicious
traffic. Hoyer noted that the United States
seemed to be the target of the majority of the
attempts.
This is a critically important skill and
research youre doing, Hoyer said to the
students. What youre doing is important to
America and to the world.

The Calvert County Board of Education
has approved the relocation of two special
education early childhood programs to Cal-
vert Country School in Prince Frederick.
The Infants and Toddlers Program, includ-
ing the preschool program for two-year-olds,
and the Child Find Program will move to
Calvert Country School after currently un-
utilized space is renovated.
The moves, said Dr. Daniel D. Curry,
Superintendent, provide greater potential
for integration of services for families.
The first renovations will convert unused
locker rooms into additional classrooms for
students currently attending Calvert Coun-
try School. The second phase will restruc-
ture a cluster of classrooms into a dedicated
area for the two special education early
childhood programs. The wing will have a
separate entrance for staff and families, and
additional parking will be added.
The preschool program for two-year-olds
is currently housed at Calvert Elementary
New Calvert Elementary School Principal Appointed
The Calvert Board of Education has ap-
pointed Dr. Joe Sampson, III to be principal
of Calvert Elementary School, beginning on
July 1, 2017.
After his appointment, Dr. Sampson said,
I am beyond excited to get started in CCPS.
Im looking forward to working at Calvert
Elementary with the students and staff, and I
know were going to have an amazing year.
Dr. Sampson has served as the principal
School. The vacated space will accommo-
date increased enrollment and an expanded
special education regional program.
The Infants and Toddlers Program and
Child Find Program are based at the Hunting
Creek Annex in Huntingtown. Once these
programs are relocated to Calvert Country
School, options for the annexs future will
be evaluated. Currently, the Hunting Creek
Annex annually costs $57,000-$60,000 op-
erationally and would require systemic capi-
tal improvements for continued use by the
school district.
The current utilization rate for Calvert
Country is 38%, and the consolidation of
programs will allow for more efficient capi-
tal planning and greater efficiency in main-
tenance and operations per square foot.
The relocation will occur in several phas-
es, beginning at the start of the 2017-2018
school year and ending in the fall of2018.

Hill Horse Rescue
Theres a Horse Waiting to Meet You
By Dave Spigler
Feature Writer
This coming Saturday, May 20th, race
horse enthusiasts across the nation will
be focused on Maryland with the running
of the 142nd Preakness Race at Pimlico
in Baltimore. This second jewel in the
Triple Crown of Racing is a fun-filled cel-
ebration of the old majestic sport of Eu-
ropean kings and queens. No doubt there
will be great stories written of past win-
ners and their millionaire owners and of
all the money that is wagered on the out-
come of the fastest two minutes in sports!
You may be amazed to learn these
beautiful animals are valued at several
million dollars a piece and will live out
their lives on fancy stud farms when their
racing days are over. And you may think
life as a horse aint so bad. One only has
to drive through the pastures and fields
in the central part of our state to see the
grand farms where many former and fu-
ture stars are living a life of luxury! But
dont befooled
Unfortunately, not all of these won-
derful creatures experience a lifetime of
love and caring. According to American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (ASPCA), there is a staggering
number of more than 170,000 unwanted
horses in the United States today. And,
Southern Maryland is no different; there
is a huge need for equine rescue in the tri-
county area that has gone unnoticed for
many years. The reasons for this situation
for why so many horses and their foals are
in need of attention include:
Owner Surrender. Often, due to the
poor health of an owner, he or she can no
longer care for their animal or have the
resources to locate a new home for these
pets. They may resort to putting their
horse up for auction or sell to a broker;
either way the fate of the horse could be
jeopardized and its future unknown.
Seizure. Not all horse owners are suit-
able caretakers and their animals may be
abused or neglected. They may not be
knowledgeable enough to care for these
creatures and the horse may begin to suf-
fer in many ways. Once these situations
are discovered, local animal control agen-
cies will become involved and the owners

will be forced into surrendering the ani-
mal which can lead to trauma and stress.
Slaughter Industry. Horse meat is con-
sidered a delicacy overseas which leads
to thousands of horses being slaughtered
in the United States for shipping to other
countries. Many horses are sent across our
borders to Canada and Mexico to meet a
brutal end. The treatment of these animals
in shipment and at the slaughter plants is
often horrific.
Nurse Mare Foals. Brood mares can
be expensive therefore they are not per-
mitted to nurse their own offspring to al-
low the mare to be back in the show ring
or back at the race track in minimal time.
A nurse mare is brought in to nourish the
foal and in order to keep the nurse mare
nursing, she is continually kept pregnant
for this service. Little is known about what
becomes of her many foals, but it is feared
many are cast aside to a questionable fate.
Pregnant Mare Urine. The urine is to the ASCPAs creation over 150 years
used to provide hormones in the produc-
tion of certain medications. The mares
must be kept continuously pregnant leav-
ing their foal to be cast off with no mother
to look after them as well.
To meet these growing needs for res-
cue and sanctuary services in Southern
Maryland, the Freedom Hill Horse Res-
cue [FHHR] in Owings was founded in
2004 to rescue horses from neglect, abuse,
abandonment, and slaughter. This all-vol-
unteer, non-profit 501[c]3 organization is
dedicated to improving the lives of horses
by providing a safe haven for healing and
rehabilitation.
They also work with equine partners
to educate, inspire and improve the lives
of youth and their families. They develop
educational and equine-assisted programs
to pair up the rehabilitated horses and
children in an effort to teach the philoso-
phy, principles, and techniques of natural
horsemanship. Their main goal is to help
horses that have come from unfortunate
circumstances to be Free to Live Again
and to give these animals the best quality
care while they are with us.
To learn more about this organiza-
tion, the County Times was invited by
the folks at Freedom
Hill Horse Rescue
on ASPCAs national
Help A Horse Day
celebration in late
April to see their op-
eration first hand. To
make the day even
more special, mem-
bers of the Days
End Farm Horse Rescue, a Maryland-
wide advocacy group was visiting as part
of their efforts to showcase 100 horses
across the state that are currently available
for adoption. They travel to horse rescues
throughout Maryland to provide assis-
tance and help place the right horse with
the right person. They are involved with
animal control agencies as well and offer
legal assistance in court processes involv-
ing litigation procedures.
Interestingly, horses have been central
ernments Combined Federal Campaign
ago when their founders caught a cart
driver beating his horse and successfully
had him arrested and prosecuted for mis-
treatment of a horse!
We met with Melissa Kuester, who en-
thusiastically showed the farm, and their
horses, and her staff of volunteers aged
10 through 60+. Several teenagers where
there working with the horses, train-
ing the newbies and genuinely enjoying
their work, Melissa spoke of the horses as
though they were her children, describ-
ing their various personalities and differ-
ing temperaments. Several of the rescued
animals were being boarded there by their
new owners and this arrangement provid-
ed FHHR with needed operating funds.
Three horses are currently
available for adoption. There are strict
procedures all potential owners must go
through before an adoption can take place.
Considerable hands-on training is provid-
ed to ensure a new horse owner has the
ability and the passion for these animals.
As with the volunteers, they learn proper
horse psychology and behavior, learn how
to feed, bathe, and groom the horses. They
are taught how to lead these animals and
to saddle them for a ride. At all times, an-
other individual is present while a rider is
on a horse.
Several of the farms volunteers come
over following class at the nearby North-
ern High School. There are different shifts
for feeding and walking. Older teenagers
can be seen teaching the younger kids in
the various ways of taking care of these
large, lovable creatures. It was evident
that happiness abounds with these young
people who always seemed to be smiling!
Not only are they learning good horse-
manship, they are learning lessons in re-
sponsibility, caring for others, and lead-
ership in addition to the more mundane
tasks such as stall cleanliness and barn
maintenance. The good feelings this work
provides appears to be infectious as every-
one was there because they wanted to be
Feature Story 13
and not because they had to be there!
In the 13 years Freedom Hill has been
in service, they have been successful in
rescuing and re-homing 250 horses made
possible by the generous contributions
from individuals and corporate partners.
In 2016, revenue was derived from six
sources including grants, income from
events, individual/corporate contribu-
tions, and earned income from boarding,
and education and clinic programs. They
also receive funding from the federal gov-
[CFC]. Their CFC Code is 52449.
Like most non-profits, they are con-
stantly in need of help with direct horse
care, feed shifts, grooming, barn mainte-
nance, events such as the popular Prince
Frederick Christmas Parade in December,
training, marketing, social media, pho-
tography, and so much more. And, you
dont need any horse experience, they will
trainyou.
If you may be considering adoption
from FHHR, please know you will not
only help a four-legged friend, you will
also be freeing up space for giving another
horse a second chance at life. They have
a Save Our Seniors program that offers
tax-deductible benefits. If you are unable
to adopt one of these friendly animals, you
might consider becoming a Horse Angel
to help one horse on its journey to find a
forever home by signing up for a monthly
tax deductible contribution of $25 to $200
per month until your horse is adopted.
Horses can be amazing teachers! The
folks at FHHR develop individual and
group activities with their horses to help
facilitate self-identified needs in commu-
nicating and goal setting. Plus, they offer
several courses in horsemanship and many
other equine related topics. Their motto is
People Helping Horses and Horses Help-
ing People!
For more information about this ex-
traordinary group of volunteers, call
Melissa at 302-363- 3412 or email her at
haulinkuester@hotmail.com to set up a
visit at their facility located at 7940 Flint
Hill Road, Owings, MD 20736. Or you
can learn more by going online at www.
freedomhillhorserescue.com.
Maybe when watching this years
Preakness at Pimlico, you will give a
thought for these other stars who were not
as fortunate, but every bit as lovable as
these race horses who lead a really pam-
pered life!

ity Golf Outing. The events are supported
by a group of volunteers, vendors, and the
SMECO executive team.

Hundreds Rally in
March for Babies
It was the best feel-good moment of
the week when approximately 600 mem-
bers of the Southern Maryland commu-
nity showed their support of our smallest
citizens -- babies by participating in
the 2017 March for Babies to benefit the
March of Dimes.
Regency Furniture Stadium was packed
with strollers, families, and business
teams who raised more than $105,000 to
prevent birth defects, premature birth, and
other leading causes of death and disabil-
ity in babies.
Special guests at the event included
Shay Baldwin (age 2), the 2017 Greater
Washington D.C. Marker Ambassador,
and her family. Mike Lukas (Waldorf Jay-
cees), Bill McGee (Outdoor Creations),
and Jason Sproesser (Southern Maryland
Blues Crabs) joined walkers on the 3 mile-
route as local DJ, Robbie Webb, provided
tunes to keep the energy high.
We saw today how important the
health of moms and babies is to the people
of Southern Maryland, says Mike Lu-
cas, Southern Maryland March for Babies
2017 Chairperson. Im so proud to be part
of this community of people who came
together to give all babies a healthy start
in life. Babies should be a top priority all
year round, and were excited about what
weve accomplished here today.
It was a memorable and rewarding day Macys, Cigna, HCA, and regional spon-
for all of us, says Audrey Baldwin, mom
of the 2017 Ambassador. After Shay was
born 10 weeks prematurely, we decided
we wanted to do everything possible
to help other families know the joy of a
healthy child. Were honored to represent
17
the March of Dimes today to show our ap-
preciation for the ways they comfort and
support families like ours and support in-
novative research.
Premature birth, the leading cause of
death among babies in the United States,
affects about 380,000 babies each year,
including approximately 8,525 babies
in Maryland. Funds raised by March for
Babies in Southern Maryland help sup-
port March of Dimes programs that pro-
vide comfort and support for families as
well as innovative research to find the
unknown causes of premature birth and
birthdefects.
The March of Dimes is the leading
nonprofit organization for pregnancy and
baby health. For more than 75 years, moms
and babies have benefited from March of
Dimes research, education, vaccines and
breakthroughs. For the latest resources
