Cardin Visits End Hunger in Calvert Senator Tours Huntingtown Facility

in Calvert in Huntingtown.
The speaker was the non-
prots founder, Rev. Rob-
ert Hahn, senior pastor of
Chesapeake Church.
Founded in 2008, End
Hunger in Calvert County
operates a food distribution
center in Prince Frederick
and a job training program
in facilities adjacent to the
church, which also includes
a caf called the Lobby.
Rev Hahn and End Hun-
gers President Jacqueline
Miller gave Sen. Cardin a
tour of their facilities and
then met with about two
dozen of their workers and
volunteers, other commu-
nity organization represen-
tatives and clients of their
services.
Rev Hahn told Cardin,
who is a Baltimore native,
that hunger and poverty in
rural areas like Calvert is
different from urban areas

Editor and a mansion may be located next to each other. Rural
solutions are not like urban solutions, Rev Hahn said.
People who work in grocery stores cant afford to buy Cardin observed that what is being done at End Hunger

that stark message Aug. 4 during a visit at End Hunger and the nation I dont think anyone is doing what we are
doing in the state, Rev. Hahn said.
Hahn told Cardin that its easier to collect 20,000
pounds of food than 200 pounds because grocery stores
have substantial amounts to give up at a time. For years,
churches all over the county had small food pantries
which couldnt handle the total need. Now End Hunger
in Calvert Countys Prince Frederick warehouse collects
food in large quantities and dispenses directly and to
those other food pantries, Hahn explained.
During the facility tour, Hahn and Miler showed the
senator their state-of-the-art kitchen where young petiole
are trained for the food-service business. Many have gone
on to become chefs and managers.
Hahn explained to Senator Cardin that when the church
rst started its food pantry, restaurants told hint that they
always had trouble nding and keeping line cooks. Thats
where the idea came for starting the training program. It
just seemed to make sense, he said.
After looking at the operation, Cardin enthused, Its
a great deal.
End Hunger in Calvert has parlayed the ideas of pro-
viding food to the hungry and providing training to the
unemployed into a signicant operation using a mix of
grants and community donations with the support of the
members of Chesapeake Church.
At the meeting in one of the facilitys conference
rooms, Cardin noted that hunger was just one component
of poverty Poverty is surely a common theme. Someone
who works 40 hours in a week should not be in poverty.
he said. He noted that people making four times the pov-
erty level cant afford health insurance in America today.
He said a better barometer other than the poverty level
was needed to determine who needs safety net programs.

Bowens Inn Redevelopment

Plan Withdrawn
By Dick Myers
Editor
A proposed redevelopment plan for the
site of the former Bowens Inn in Solo-
mons has been withdrawn from the Calvert
County Board of Appeals. The withdrawal
was announced without explanation at the
boards Aug. 3 meeting.
Attempts to reach representatives of the
applicant Shriver Brothers Properties, LLC.,
including minority owner Geoff Wana-
maker were unsuccessful as of the Calvert
County Times deadline. It is believed, how-
ever, that the developer will be presenting
to the planning commission a scaled- back
plan that does not require Board of Appeals
approval.
The plan for redevelopment was pre-
sented at the boards July meeting. When it
appeared that the board had serious reserva-
tions about what they were seeing, the ap-
plicants engineer Dan Kelsh of Collinson,
Oliff & Associates, Inc, (COA), requested a
postponement.
The proposal at the July meeting, called
The Shoppes and Residences at Bowens
Inn, had two structures a three-story,
47-foot-tall residential building on the wa-
terfront and a commercial building close to
Solomons Island Road. The project required
a variance from the 36-foot height limita-
tion for the residences and a variance from
the 20-foot front setback to allow nine feet
instead. There would have been a parking
lot between the two buildings for the resi-
dences; an entrance to the lot would be over
a right-of-way on the property of the Light-
house Inn next door.
Since purchasing the property the ood-
plain elevations have changed and when
Bowen's Grocery

lowered the elevation by two feet, according
to Kelsh. So, in order to raise the building The Charm and Quality of the Past with the Convenience and Variety of Today
to accommodate the oodplain regulations,
the variance request had to be made. The USDA Choice Beef - Cut To Order!
builder could get a credit by having a mixed-
use development which would reduce the Our Own Freshly Ground Chuck
variance from 11 feet to two feet. Our Own Frozen Hamburger Patties
The developer also could reduce the front

rant uses, but Wanamaker said they wanted
to keep their options open for potential of-
ce space use. The historic building next to Full Service Deli
the property and in front of the Lighthouse

It was the mixed-use issue that caused the

Al Dailey Joins County
Times as General Manager
By Dick Myers
Editor
Al Dailey, General Manager
Al Dailey, who has 32 years of
Southern Maryland media experience,
has joined The County Times newspa-
pers in St. Marys and Calvert counties
as General Manager. That experience
includes 17 years as Associate Publish-
er of the Enterprise Newspaper, from
1999 to 2016.
With the Enterprise, Dailey worked
closely with the business community
in St. Marys and Calvert counties. He
was active with the St. Marys County
Chamber of Commerce, having served
on the board and being responsible
for that organizations poplar annual
membership directory.
I have admired the McKay family
businesses for years from a distance,

sign to our organization. We are excited
to have Ms. Keys talents available as
she works to provide our readers and ad-
vertisers with a product that is creative,
exciting, yet easy to read.
We are proud of our first ten years, yet
are more excited than ever as we look
forward to the next ten years. We are
confident that your community newspa-
per is building the best team in the busi-
ness to serve our friends and neighbors.
The County Times was founded by
James Manning McKay, who started
the family grocery business along with
his wife Marilyn.
McKays son Tommy now serves as
president of the family business and
he and grandson Eric serve as pub-
lisher and associate publisher of the
newspapers.
Dailey vividly remembers the
Chamber of Commerce annual meet-
ing at the former Evans Seafood on St.
Georges Island at which James Man-
ning McKay was honored as business-
person of the year.
Dailey is excited about the com-
munity newspaper business, which
he describes as being a hyper-local
media. People want to know what is
happening in their backyards, he said.
He added that because of that, commu-
nity newspapers are doing better than
daily newspapers, which also have
the added burden of the costs of daily
distribution.
Daileys first job in Southern Mary-
land was as a weekend fill-in disk
jockey at WPTX-AM in Lexington
Park. He quickly moved into the morn-
ing announcer role at its sister sta-
tion, WMDM-FM when local legend,
the late Gary Beavin left to work for
the then Bell Motor Company. Dailey
moved to an Annapolis station for a
few years and then returned to WPTX/
WMDM as general manager.
He explained that he spent most of
the 1980s in the radio business and
most of the 1990s as general manager
and partner of Cable Channel 10 in St.
Marys County.
Dailey is especially happy to be
back in the area where he has worked
so long and knows so many people. He
started at the County Times newspa-
pers as general manager on July 31.

Calvert Deputy Appears
on National TV Show
DFC Tim Mohler
By Dick Myers
Editor
Is there a budding TV star within the
ranks of the Calvert County Sheriffs
Office (CCSO)? Could be.
The sheriffs office has been partici-
pating in the hit TV show Live PD (on
A & E) since earlier this year. This past
weekend was the last show for the sher-
iffs office this season although they
may participate next year.
On Friday and Saturday, Aug. 4-5,
CCSO Deputy First Class (DFC) Tim
Mohler appeared live in the shows New
York studio to provide commentary for
what the viewers were seeing, and also
answer questions submitted on Twitter.
Mohler sat between co-hosts ABC Chef
Legal Affairs Anchor Dan Abrams and
journalist Tom Morris, Jr.
Live PD premiered on October 28,
2016 with a unique format they follow
police departments across the country in
real time (actually with a 20-minute de-
lay). Sometimes nothing much happens
and other times all hell breaks loose.
For example, in the Saturday three-hour
show (9 p.m. to midnight) a female of-
ficer in Illinois had to fight off a man
and his girlfriend at the same time and
in South Carolina an officer pursued a
stolen car and then pursued them on a
frantic foot chase when they fled.
DFC Mohler told of the dangers of
foot pursuits which can lead around
blind spots and potentially confronting
a gun pointed at them. In the encounter
of the female police officer, she became
splattered in blood. Mohler said if that
happens in his department, they would
immediately go to the hospital.
At another point, Mohler agreed with
the cohosts that much of what they do
is public relations. Absolutely, abso-
lutely, he responded.
Mohler in reply to Twitter posts talked
about his musical talent (piano, drums
and guitar) and his relationship with dis-
patchers (great).
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Ev-
ans told the County Times that he was

on the show. Evans said the public re-
action to his departments involvement
has been both positive and negative, but
mostly positive, and he is considering
doing it again next year.
Evans said during the weeks that the
crews were in Calvert he witnessed his
deputies doing just a few things that he
disagreed with and he counseled them

Motorcyclist Seriously Injured
in Accident
Infant Receives Minor Injuries
Deputies of the Calvert County Sher-
iffs Office on Aug 6 at approximately
11:58 a.m. responded to a serious per-
sonal injury accident at the intersection
of Maryland Route 261 and Ponds Wood
Road in Huntingtown.
A preliminary investigation revealed
that a 2009 Ford Flex, operated by Ms.
Roxana Elizabeth Villatoro, 26, of Wash-
ington, DC, was traveling eastbound on
Ponds Wood Road. At the same time,
Melvin Douglas Harris, 66, of Hunting-
town was operating a 1998 Harley FLH
motorcycle northbound on Maryland
Route 261.
The operator of the Ford failed to stop
and yield at the stop sign for traffic on
Ponds Wood Road at Route 261. The Ford
entered the travel path of the Harley and
was struck on the passenger side. The op-
erator of the motorcycle was ejected and

An infant from the Ford was transported
to Childrens Hospital with minor injuries.
The remaining passengers from the Ford
were transported to Calvert Memorial by
Ambulance for minor injuries.
At this time it appears that the
failure of the operator of the Ford to stop
and yield at a stop sign is the contributing
factor to the collision; however, the inves-
tigation is on-going.

is nearing its
stretch run,
but the play-
offs and the
World Series still seem far away. These
are the summer doldrums of sports, a time
when not much of anything signicant
happening.
But theres still a lot going on.
With QB Joe Flacco having back is-
sues, the Baltimore Ravens are, as of this
writing, considering signing quarterback,
and NFL enemy-of-the-state, Colin Kae-
pernick. Head coach John Harbaugh
and General Manager Ozzie Newsome
gentlemen whose job security hinges on
winning games - are reportedly on-board;
owner Steve Bisciotti a guy whos ten-
ured for life - is having reservations.
Kaepernick, of course, is being black-
balled by the NFL for his anthem protests
last season (this despite assurances that he
wouldnt continue the protests this year).
Meanwhile, Bisciotti, the owner who
has the Ray Rice debacle on his resume,
whose team is among the league leaders
in arrests in recent years and who saw t
to put a statue of Ray Lewis, a player who
took a plea deal to avoid murder charges,
outside of M&T Bank Stadium, has had
a sudden blast of moral conscience. De-
spite that dubious track record, Bisciotti is
concerned that Kaepernick, a player who
peacefully protested during the national
anthem to raise awareness of law enforce-
ments treatment of minorities, will stain
the Ravens brand.
Not to worry though. At a recent fan
forum, Bisciotti invoked the Almighty
and asked that folks pray for us while
he mulled Decision Kaepernick. Super.
I hope God takes a break from helping
others through very real and complex is-
sues like law enforcement and minority
relations - to help Bisciotti through his
overwhelming football conundrum. In
the meantime, maybe Kaepernick will
observe this circus and conclude that
Baltimore, with all its documented mis-
steps, isnt worth his services. In life, and
in sports, sometimes the character of the
judgers falls short of those being judged.

CSM Partners with SMECO on

SMECO President and CEO Joe Slater announces CSMs new Pre-Apprenticeship Program at the April
25 dedication and ribbon-cutting for the colleges Center for Trades and Energy Training (CTET) at the
Regional Hughesville Campus.
Good pay. Important work. Physically
challenging. These are just a few of the
reasons that many young people are at-
tracted to a career as a lineman for a utility.
Its a brotherhood, said Jason Ather-
ton, technical training manager at SME-
CO. People require electricity. Linemen
are the people who go out there and make
sure you have it.
Utilities like SMECO are aware that
there is a great deal of interest in linemen
positions, which, in Maryland, earn an
Pre-Apprenticeship Certicate
average of $35.96 an hour, according to
Indeed, an online job site that tracks sal-
ary data in certain industries. SMECO,
for instance, reports receiving hundreds
of applications whenever they announce a
new training class for apprentice linemen.
The problem is that though hundreds
apply for the training class, too few ap-
plicants have the skills necessary to even
start to learn the job, according to SMECO
representatives. Some have no idea how
to properly climb a ladder or use a shovel,
Atherton said. All utilities are having a
hard time nding qualied applicants.
In response, the College of Southern
Maryland (CSM) has worked with SME-
CO to create the Pre-Apprenticeship Pro-
gram to provide practical electrical utility
worker training. The 12-week program of
courses, which will be offered at CSMs
newly opened Regional Hughesville Cam-
pus, focuses on skills needed for candi-
dates for utility training programs but
also skills that are desirable in any of the
trades. Completers of the program will
earn a continuing education certicate
from CSM and receive hiring preferences
from SMECO. SMECO reached out to all
regional electrical utilities and contractors
to alert them to this new resource and en-
couraged them to support the program.
SMECO has been collaborating with
CSM on a program of study to meet a very
important need What they have come
up with is truly exciting, said SMECO
President and CEO Joe Slater, announc-
ing the Pre-Apprenticeship Program at the
April 25 dedication and ribbon-cutting for
CSMs new Center for Trades and Energy
Training (CTET) at the Regional Hughes-
ville Campus.
Students will spend 12 weeks learn-
ing core construction skills and safety
practices here in the CTET, Slater said,
And then they will go across the road to
the SMECOs lineman training yard for
basics in electrical utility work, including
pole climbing, which is the great leveler.
SMECO will be providing the electrical
utility practicum as a community service
as a good partner with CSM. Atherton
will serve as the SMECO instructor for
the 40-hour eld practicum portion of the
course.
It involves a lot of safety training,
said CTET Director Bruce Posey about
the certicate requirements. The courses
required for the certicate will cover top-
ics such as excavation safety, working in
conned space, rst aid and CPR and core
construction skills.
SMECO has demonstrated additional
support for the Pre-Apprenticeship Pro-
gram by funding two scholarships to as-
sist promising students who demonstrate
nancial need and are from an under-
served population for the fall 2017 semes-
ter. In addition, scholarships are available
through the CSM Foundation.
Employers who hire students from this
pool are getting a new employee with the
training necessary to be placed on the job
site almost immediately.
If you dont have any skills, its tough
to nd a job, Posey said. We can help
you get the skills needed to be considered
for employment.
The Pre-Apprenticeship Program will
be offered at the Regional Hughesville
Campus beginning late summer/early fall,
and students may register now. To learn
more about the scholarships, contact the
CSM Foundation at 301-934-7649. For in-

We love it. We all love it, Steffey said of the
Drum Circle class. Our teacher is amazing. Patient.
Klotz teaches from a wealth of experience. She
has been playing drums and percussion instruments
since she was 10. She majored in percussion at West
Virginia University and then served in the military,
performing as a percussionist in The United States
Air Force Band, Washington, D.C. She later played
as a percussionist in the National Guard Band, also
in Washington, and after one year became com-
mander and conductor of the Army Guard Band in
Washington. Now retired, the CSM class is a way to
share her expertise with the community.
Klotz supplies the drums and other percussion
instruments used by the class, including the conga,
djembe, djun djun and kenkeni, while students like
the belly dancers may bring their own drums if they
prefer. Klotz teaches about the history of drumming
and emphasizes that, done correctly, drumming is a
way to communicate.
Participating in a drum circle has also been shown
to have health benefits. It slows the heartbeat,
Klotz said. Its a release of tensions.
She has a goal for her students beyond these ben-
efits the skills and knowledge that will allow them
to participate in this activity. They will be able to
go to any city in the United States and sit in on a
drum circle and be able to play, she said.

only won the inaugural CSM F3 Challenge this spring but created a lot of buzz with the oyster people
clamoring for this counting machine.
The College of Southern Maryland
(CSM) has the opportunity to take a sig-
nificant step forward in its role as a regional
leader in innovation and technology work-
force development.
Maryland Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford
visited CSMs Leonardtown Campus Aug.
2 to announce that CSM, along with Johns
Hopkins University and the University of
Maryland, College Park, in partnership with
the Maryland Department of Commerce,
have endowed a total of $8.6 million in three
new research professorships.
The endowments were made through
the states Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative
(MEI), a state program created to spur basic
and applied research in scientific and techni-
cal fields at the states colleges and universi-
ties. CSM is the first community college to
receive this prestigious award.
The College of Southern Maryland is
honored to be among the three institutions
in Maryland to be awarded this endowed
matching fund, said CSM President Dr.
Maureen Murphy. These funds will al-
low the college to create a more sustainable
and vibrant innovation ecosystem through
public-private partnerships that support and
impact the critical and innovative research
being conducted at the Navy research labs in
Southern Maryland. The Entrepreneur and
Innovation Institute will not only support
technology transfer initiatives, but will also
enhance the regional and state economic and
workforce development expansion.
Through the MEI, CSM received
$500,000 to support the colleges Entrepre-
neur and Innovation Institute (EII) and the
expertise required to expand CSMs tech-
nology transfer curriculum; research and
identify regional technology transfer oppor-
tunities; instill entrepreneurial skills among
students, government scientists and busi-
nesses; and expand the local entrepreneurial
ecosystem and workforce.
The funding will be used by CSM to at-
tract and retain world-class instructors to
grow the current innovation and entrepre-
neurial ecosystem at a newly envisioned

Guffrie Smith:
Calvert County Educator Changed Many Lives
By Zach Hill
Contributing Writer
Kids have always been at the center of
the life of one of Southern Marylands
most well-known educators -- Guffrie M
Smith, Jr.
Born and raised in Scotland, Mary-
land (St. Marys County) in a family
with four brothers and 12 sisters, Guf-
frie was the oldest of his siblings.
From a rather young age, Smith had
already known that teaching and helping
other people would be what he wanted to
do in his future.
The only role models we had [at the
time] were ministers and teachers In
my one-room school down in Scotland,
Maryland, I had strong teachers with
high expectations and they encouraged
and saw this in me Smith said. At first
I didnt necessarily see that in myself,
but they said that I needed to go on to
college.
Smith would do exactly that, going
on to be the first person in his family to
graduate from high school and college,
achieving his B.S. and M.A. from Bowie
State University.
At that time, the only place you could
afford was a school like Bowie (State)
because you didnt have a lot of scholar-
ships offered around, Smith said.
Smith has also completed some post-
graduate studies at Nova University and
the University of Maryland.
Following his college graduation,
Smith began what would eventually
become a 33-and-a-half-year career
as an educator in the Calvert County
The Calvert County Times
PublicSchools.
Beginning as a teacher at Appeal Ele-
mentary School in Lusby in 1965, Smith
would go on to climb the ranks to vice
principal and eventually principal of the
school.
Smith even got to see Appeal Elemen-
tary go from being an all African-Amer-
ican school, to becoming fully integrat-
ed back in 1967 around the time when it
merged with Solomons Elementary.
He would take a slight break from his
career of working as an educator in 1975
to go with the Maryland State Depart-
ment of Education for the next six and
a half years.
When I first started working with the
state, I was specializing in migrant edu-
cation all over the state, Smith said.
Smith was the Migrant Branch
Chief, a specialist in Title I, and would was a past member of the Kiwanis
serve on multiple boards and commit-
tees including the States Professional
Standards, Teacher Education Board,
and the Multicultural Education Task
Force.
Upon completion of this time with
the state, Smith would return in 1981
to work in the Calvert County Public
School for 22 more years, first as prin-
cipal at Appeal Elementary (until 1988).
Smith would then go on to become a
supervisor, coordinator of Healthy Fam-
ilies, and director of curriculum and in-
struction until he would officially retire
in 2002.
Following that, he would take on the
role as the main coordinator of a resource
center in the southern CalvertCounty.
In 2003 and 2004 I worked in the
southern part of the county to bring re-
sources to the community Smith said.
With them being so far down, they
didnt have a whole lot of resources to
work with.
Smith recently finished his second
four-year term on the Maryland State
Board of Education to which he was
appointed by past governor, Martin
OMalley; he was elected to be president
of the board in 2015 to 2016.
However, nothing can top the en-
thusiastic attitude that Smith has had
throughout his entire life towards com-
munity involvement.
I have always been very involved
in the community Smith emphatically
discussed.
He showed such excitement and plea-
sure after discovering that this writer
Clubs high school affiliate group, Key
Club, as he went into greater detail as to
what exactly his role is in the Kiwanis
Club of Calvert.
Im their adviser to the schools,
Smith said. One of the big things that
we do is we give out scholarships and
we didnt give out but one this year but I
sort of coordinate that working with the
schools and giving scholarships to the
Key Clubs.
On top of working with the Kiwanis
Club of Calvert, Smith is also active in
working with Christmas in April, Cal-
vert County Historical Society, and
the Property Tax Assessment Appeals
Board.
However, what Smith is most involved
with nowadays is doing work with the
Thursday, August 10, 2017
the non-profit organization, the Calvert
Collaborative for Children and Youth,
of which he is the president of Board of
Directors.
As I was about to get into retiring,
something came out about What Makes
a Kid Successful from the Search In-
stitute Smith said. They researched
40 major assets and they were in eight
different categories and they are either
external or internal assets. Then they
asked the kids how many of them had
these assets.
The Search Institute reported in 2006
that out of the 89,000 students ages 11-
18, only 20 percent engaged in creative
activities or the arts, 23 percent enjoyed
reading for pleasure for three or more
hours a week, 25 percent felt that adults
in their community valued the youth,
and only 28 percent had positive adult
role models with the list going on.
The research (of the 40 assets) shows
that the more of these (assets) you have,
the more successful you are going to be
and the less likely to get into at-risk be-
haviors. Smith said.
This is one of the major pieces that
our non-profit does and that is the Cal-
vert Collaborative for Children and
Youth Smith said. We advocate for
children.
The main focus for Calvert Collabora-
tive for Children and Youth is improv-
ing students support systems, empow-
erment, boundaries and expectations,
constructive use of time, committing to
learning, positive values and identity,
and social competencies.
The organization is always looking
for support to continue what they do and
have many fundraisers throughout the
year including the upcoming night at the
Blue Crabs Game on August 12th, Ritas
in Prince Frederick on August 15th, and
Mama Lucias in Dunkirk on August
21st.
Guffrie Smith Jr. has been honored
with various awards through his life
with the highlights being back in 2009
receiving the Louis L. Goldstein Award
by the Democratic Central Committee
of Calvert County, and being presented
the William Donald Schaefer Helping
People Award from the Maryland Comp-
troller in 2015.
Guffrie has been married to Catherine
Smith for 53 years to which he shares
two daughters named Shelly and Jewel.
He now has three grandchildren and
twin great grandchildren and he resides
in St. Leonard.
On a personal note, this writer is still
pursuing his education at the College of
Southern Maryland (and as an intern at
the County Times) and understands the
impact that educators can have on the
lives of their students. Guffrie M. Smith
Jr. has clearly fit into that mold and has
left a dramatic legacy throughout his
life to the many young people he has
touched.

Solomons Event Remembers WWII
By Dick Myers
Editor
The movie Dunkirk recalls a time re-
membered by a rapidly declining number
of living participants. The annual WW II
USO Remembrance in Solomons on Aug.
4 was intended to spotlight an era that the
organizers believe was so important to the
world in general and Solomons in particu-
lar that it should not be forgotten.
Ninety-five-year-old Methuselah Pum-
phrey of Lothian remembers it. As an
African-American he couldnt participate
in combat, but as a member of the Signal
Corps who trained in Alabama he directly
contributed to the war effort. Sgt. Pum-
phrey was the guest of honor at the event
at the Gazebo on the Riverwalk and laid a
ceremonial wreath in honor of those lost
in combat during the war.
The ceremony was preceded by a reen-
actment of an Armed Forces Radio show
Retired Sgt. Methuselah Pumphrey lays a wreath in remembrance of the fallen heroes of WW II.
The Calvert County Times Thursday, August 10, 2017
from 1942 called SPAM Time Radio Show
hosted by T/5 Vince SPAM Turner and
PFC Vincent Bubba Turner. Music from
the era was interspersed with wartime
dispatches.
The annual event is sponsored by the
Circle of Angels Initiative. According to
organizer Roseanna Vogt, In an ironic
twist of history,on the first Friday in Au-
gust, August 7, 1942, the first invasion
was in the Pacific Solomon Islands after
training on Solomon Island, MD. The
first European invasion was at Norman-
dy on Tuesday, June 6, 1944. Solomons
was home to the cradle of invasion,
the WWII top-secret amphibious train-
ing base for the invasion of Europe and
Japanese-held Pacific islands. The United
Services Organization or USO began with
citizens who served coffee and donuts to
soldiers passing through their towns.

Dunkirk: The Movie and the Town

Is There a Connection?
By Dick Myers
Editor
The name Dunkirk: is emblazoned on movie mar-
quees all over the world. The hit movie of course is
about the WW II Battle in 1940 in the French town of
the same name. But what, if any, is the connection to
the town center and post office in Calvert County, also
with the same name.
To answer the question, we went to the President of
the Calvert County Historical Society Chris Banks,
who in turn referred the County Times to her go-to his-
tory person, Leila Boyer, director of the organization.
The story of Dunkirk, MD, according to Boyer,
takes us back to 1842, and the post office called Smith-
ville. Postmaster Charles H. Johnson, of the little post
office tucked inside a general store, was concerned that
his post office was being confused with several of the
same name on the Eastern Shore.
It is not clear whether it was the postmaster or some-
one else who came up with the new name of Dunkirk.
What is certain is that the name came from on old land
grant in the area, issued to William Groom in 1670.
Groom had land holdings also in St. Marys County
and didnt live long at Dunkirk. It is not known if there
was a manor house of the same name, but if so its loca-
tion is long lost in history.
Dunkirk was located near what is now the Anne
Arundel-Calvert County line, Boyer said. That line in
early Maryland history remained fluid until officially
surveyed. It was 200 acres and surrounded by planta-
tions owed by Harris Cox, Pal Busey and others.
According to Boyer, the post office officially changed
names on July 9, 1842. A new post office was built in
the 1970s and Boyer believes the original building in
which the post office was located is no longer standing.
So, then, is there any connection between the name
given to the 200 acres in Calvert County and the French
town that was the site of the famous battle and now the
blockbuster movie? The answer to that is somewhat
unknown. But perhaps some conclusions can be drawn
from the fact that Groom was an Englishman, as were
most of the settlers in Southern Maryland.
There is a village in County Kent, England called
Dunkirk. According to Wikipedia, the online encyclo-
pedia, The origin of the villages name is still not very
clear, but it is understood to come from a house called
Dunkirk lived in by a Fleming from Dunkirk on the
border between France and Belgium.
The English Dunkirks main historical claim to fame
is ironically also a battle. In 1838, just four years be-
fore the naming of the Dunkirk, MD post office. Wiki-
pedia says Dunkirk was, the scene of the last armed
rising on British soil, the Battle of Bossenden Wood to
the north of the village.
If the village in England was named after the town in
France, which was founded in the late 10 th century and
whose name is a contraction of Flemish words meaning
church in the dunes, and if the estate in Maryland
was named after the village in England and the post
office in Maryland was named after the estate, then
theres the connection.
So, residents of Dunkirk, MD, when you go to the
movie you can bring a little civic pride with you along
with your price of admission and your popcorn.

Its Never Too Late to Start

CSM Facilities, Trainers, Classes Assist Senior Fitness
CSM Fitness Trainer Aaron Smith, left, checks Charlotte Weirich on her lifting technique at the La Plata
Campus fitness center, as CSM Fitness Coordinator Jane Pomponio observes from behind.
Charlotte Weirich of Charles County
began her retirement in 2014 with big
expectations volunteering, travel and
plenty of social engagements were all on
her to-do list.
`However, a variety of health concerns
came to light that changed some of those
plans, including cholesterol and bone den-
sity issues.
`All of this was such a shock, Wei-
rich said. She had been physically fit in
the 1970s, she said, a time when she re-
ally worked on her fitness. Even though
in recent years she seemed to be healthy
and was at a good weight, her work had re-
quired hours and hours of sitting at a desk,
and she found she didnt have the energy
or inclination to exercise.
Life overcame me, Weirich said.
``It was time for Weirich to start re-
investing in her physical health. After
several check-ups with various medical
specialists, I reached the conclusion that
I needed an active exercise program on a
weekly basis, she said.
Weirich turned to the College of South-
ern Maryland (CSM) for help. I went to
the CSM Fitness Center and received a
general overview, Weirich said. A fitness
assessment is a great tool to assist in creat-
ing a balanced, effective fitness program,
according to CSM Fitness Coordinator
Jane Pomponio, who met with Weirich
during her initial visit and encouraged
Weirich to pursue her fitness goals. CSM
staff assesses cardiovascular endurance,
muscular strength and endurance, body
composition and flexibility. Weirich re-
ceived a computer printout of her results
and a personalized exercise program.

a computer printout of her results and a

CSM is an excellent community re-
source for the facilities and training ex-
pertise that Weirich sought, Pomponio
explained, describing the pools at the La
Plata and Leonardtown campuses be-
ing available for swimming laps or joint-
friendly aquatics classes as well as fit-
ness centers at La Plata, Leonardtown
and Prince Frederick campuses which
feature cardio equipment, machines and
free weights. Fitness studios, exercise
rooms and a variety of classroom spaces
are available for aerobics and other fitness
activities including Zumba, tai chi, yoga
and more. In addition, all three facilities
have specialized fitness assessment rooms
for individualized consultations and fit-
ness analyses. And every fitness center
has helpful staff ready to answer questions
and assist.
I decided to go for it and registered for
the personal physical training program,
Weirich said. I was quite embarrassed to
start with such poor physical fitness skills.
That feeling changed when I was assigned
to Fitness Trainer Aaron Smith, who dem-
onstrated a tremendous amount of under-
standing in working with me from the
start. I was in very poor shape, so Aaron
began with the basics. He demonstrated
tremendous knowledge about the exer-
cises on which I needed to focus. He also
forced me to be goal-oriented.
Shes very involved in the community.
She wants to keep going, Pomponio said.
`For the next two years, Weirich met
two or three times a week with Smith at
the fitness center on the La Plata Campus.
Smith has incorporated both weight train-
ing and cardio workouts along with plenty
of humor to help get Weirichs health back
on track. Miraculously, he did not lose
patience with me; in fact, I always joke
that he has the patience of a saint when
working with this little old senior citizen,
Weirich said.
Smith included work on the elliptical
machine as part of Weirichs training be-
cause it is particularly helpful and safe for
someone with bone issues like Weirich,
he said. This can be a difficult process,
Smith conceded. But he noted that if peo-
ple stick to a program they can truly re-
create their health.
She is doing great. Its really helping
her. Pomponio said. She had to make
this a priority, and she did it.
Weirich reports that her bone density
has improved. She lost 20 pounds. I am
much more energetic. I find I am much
more alert, she said. She noted that in ad-
dition to exercise, an improved diet and
meditation have helped her get her health
back on track.
I plan to continue participating in the
personal training program at the CSM
Fitness Center as long as I am upright,
she said, thanking the CSM staff for the
knowledge, skill and perseverance to
work with me.
CSM also offers a variety of fitness
classes that would be appropriate to some-
one just starting a new fitness program.
For instance, the Strength and Function-
al Conditioning Class is appropriate for
most, even those who even those who have
been released by their doctor from physi-
cal therapy, Pomponio said.
We want them to have quality of life.
As were living longer, we want quality of
life. Its never too late to start. Thats the
biggest message. Ive seen such fabulous
results, Pomponio said. We have great
pools. Beautiful facilities. Its such a com-
fortable atmosphere here. We try to make
everyone here part of the family.
