Tweaking the Plan
to Make the Town
Centers Work
By Dick Myers
Editor
No votes were taken. But, the Cal-
vert County Planning Commission
at their Aug. 30 meeting appeared to
be reaching a consensus about how to
achieve the goal of directing growth
to the town centers and away from the
rural areas of the county. The deci-
sions will be part of the update of the
county Comprehensive Plan and Zon-
ing Ordinance. Whatever decisions
are nally reached will then go to pub-
lic hearings.
So far, the commission has decided
to limit the number of town centers
to four: Dunkirk, Prince Frederick,
Lusby and Solomons. Owings, Hun-
tingtown and St. Leonard have been
downgraded to smaller-scale villages.
The towns of North Beach and Chesa-
peake Beach have their own planning
and are not included in the discussion.
The current plan has a one-mile ra-
dius around town centers targeted for
more intense development than in the
rural areas, but less dense than the
town centers. The proposal from the
consultants working on the update
changes that to an area that isnt ex-
actly concentric but instead follows
property boundaries.
The discussion at the Aug. 30 meet-
ing was how to steer development into
the town centers and that suburban
residential area next to them. Consul-
tant Jacquelyn Seneschal of WSP USA
asked the planners if they felt the by-
right residential density in Town Cen-
ters (should) be increased to attract
more development.
Now, the by-right density in town
centers is one unit per acre and that
can be increased to four per acre with
TDRs (transfer of development rights)
and to 14 units per acre with central
water and sewer. But Director of Plan-
ning and Zoning Mark Willis pointed
out that extending water and sewer
service is expensive for developers.
Maybe developers should be subsi-
dized, he said.
The commission members seemed
to be inclined to go along with Sene-
schals suggestion to allow developers
to have a right to four units per acre in
the town centers, which would lower
the overall cost to developers because
they wouldnt have to pay for develop-
ment rights.
At the close of the meeting, Com-
mission Chairperson Carolyn McHugh
allowed questions from the audience.

Hammond Assumes
Command of NAS
Patuxent River
Capt. Jason Hammond assumed com-
mand of Naval Air Station Patuxent
River in a change of command ceremo-
ny Aug. 31 at the installations Hangar
110. Hammonds role as NAS Patuxent
River commanding officer follows his
previous position as the base executive
officer (XO).
The experience of being Pax Rivers
XO has been extremely rewarding, said
Hammond. Its provided the opportu-
nity to learn the installations operations
inside and out, and each day has been
different.
Hammond has served since April
2014 as the air stations XO, a position
that falls under the Navys Fleet-Up pro-
gram. In that program, executive offi-
cers serve in that position for a year and
a half before they fleet up to become
the commanding officer for their com-
mand tour on the same ship or station.
This practice provides focused com-
mand leadership stability throughout a
bases life, according to OPNAVINST
1412.14. Commanding officers reap the
benefits of the actions and policies they
institute as executive officer.
A native of Danville, Kentucky, Ham-
mond is the son of Ray Hammond and
the late Carolyn Hammond, and step-
son of Cindy Corcoran Hammond. He
graduated from Danville High School in
June, 1989, and the U.S. Naval Academy
in May 1993 with a Bachelor of Science
degree in Aerospace Engineering. He
was winged as a Naval Aviator in Oc-
tober of 1995. Hammond also holds a
masters degree in public administration
from Old Dominion University. He and
his wife, Julie, have two children, Jaida,
6, and Jonah,4.
Hammond is no stranger to com-
mand. He became the commanding of-
ficer of Fleet Logistics Support Squad-

his tour, VRC-30
supported the deployments of ev-
ery Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier while
transitioning into the improved LOT

As for Pax River, Hammond said hes
enjoyed the opportunity to serve at a
unique installation like this.
NAS Pax River is one of kind, said
Hammond. The scope of work thats
done here for the entire Department of
Defense and our allies is truly incred-
ible, and the close relationship that the
base shares with the surrounding com-
munity is something that were proud of.
In my time as XO, I was able to see first-
hand the incredible work our profession-
als do here.
In his new role as commanding of-
ficer, Hammond said he will continue
to build on the foundations of lead-
ership laid by his predecessor, Capt.
ScottStarkey.
Captain Starkey and I have worked
closely in the day-to-day operations of
Pax River, said Hammond.
There are two things he always
maintained exceptionally well: respect
and communication. Mutual respect is
vital when working with departments,
tenant commands, and your fellow
teammates and clearly communicating
up and down the chain of command is
absolutely essential to any operation.
I look forward to continuing Captain
Starkeys phenomenal legacy and em-
powering our talented professionals to
provide the best possible base operation
support to the Research, Development,

Budget Process Aired at Town Hall Meeting
Director of Parks and Recreation Shannon Nazzal
By Dick Myers
Editor
Even though the Calvert County budget for Fiscal Year
2018 is only two months old, having started on July 1,
there are people already thinking about next years Fiscal
Year 2019 Budget. The Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) will have their first budget work
session at their September 19 meeting.
County staff also wanted to know how the public felt
about the budget process. So, on the day before the La-
The Calvert County Times
bor Day weekend began (Aug. 31) they held a public
Town Hall Meeting on that topic and quire surpris-
ingly there was a good attendance at Calvert Pines Se-
nior Center. And, county staff did receive some feed-
back. It showed the public interest in learning about the
often-complexprocess.
After introductions from County Administrator Terry
Shannon and Deputy County Administrator Wilson Par-
ran, the budget process was explained by director of Fi-
nance and Budget Tim Hayden and Deputy Director Joan
Thorpe. They explained that the operating budget funds
county services and operations and the capital budget pri-
oritizes current and future capital needs.
The four phases of the budget process are: requested,
recommended, commissioners and adopted. Each has
its own life cycle. County staff make recommendations
which are pared down for the staff recommended bud-
get released in February for a March public hearing. The
BOCC provides input and guidance during that step.
After the first public hearing, the commissioners go
over the budget again and come up with their draft which
goes to the public again before the final decision in June.
Eight people spoke and many of the commenters asked
for clarification of parts of the process. For instance, Mar-
garet Dunkle, who heads the Harriet Elizabeth Brown
Commemorative Task Force, wanted to know the process
for the creation of a permanent community center to be
named after the countys famed civil rights leader.
The planning commission recently approved five par-
cels off Fairground Road for the community center and
an option on the parcels is expected to be executed later
this year. Dunkle was told that the community center
Local News 5
project needs to get into the countys capital plan and that
decision rested with the BOCC.
New Director of Parks and Recreation Shannon Naz-
zal said planning for the new building would take about
a year to 18 months followed by a similar timetable for
construction.
Dunkle said she concluded that he commissioners
needed to be reminded about the importance of the proj-
ect so that it will be included in the capital plan.
Other speakers had similar concerns about the Armory
Square Project. Shannon said the proposed county office
building there was in the six-year plan. She said there
have been some negotiations with a developer about the
rest of the project but nothing had been decided.
We would like to see a development in some form like
the charrette, Shannon said, referring to the public meet-
ing several years ago in which a preferred development
scheme was developed.
Several speakers were curious about how the annual
infusion of $40 million from the Cove Point LNG plant
would be used. They were told by Hayden that it wasnt
specifically earmarked for particular projects though
Shannon noted that the county was able for place more
monies in this years budget for OPEB (Other Post-Em-
ployment Benefits) to fund future retiree health costs.
One speaker did have a specific recommendation
for the budget process. Trish Powell suggested that the
BOCC establish a community advisory board to help pri-
oritize capital projects.
I think there needs to be more transparency,
Powellsaid.

County Advances Purchase of $1.2 Million Rescue Boat

Public Hearing to Be Held
By Dick Myers
Editor
The Calvert County Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners (BOCC) has tenta-
tively decided to provide funding for
a new rescue boat for the North Beach
Volunteer Fire Department. That de-
partments Boat 1 was removed from
service following an accident on July
4, 2014.
Cost for the new, 44-foot boat is
$1.2 million. The county has already
budgeted $325,000 for a new boat. Ad-
ditionally, theres a Maryland Depart-
ment of Natural Resources $101,500
grant available and North Beach VFD
has $154,900 of insurance payments.
The original plan was for North Beach
to pony up an additional $102,000, but
since then they have had to expend
$200,000 for other apparatus and are
tapped out.
After extensive discussion, the
BOCC was ready to vote for the re-
maining $618,000 appropriation when
they were reminded by staff that it
needed a public hearing first. The pub-
lic hearing is required for a budget
amendment to use the countys desig-
nated fund balance.
The commissioners decided to pay
the cost of the boat upfront in order to
secure a four-to-five percent discount
off the total price. The plan is to seek
grant funding to eventually cover all
or part of the total cost.
The decision came after assurances
from North Beach VFD Chief Joey
Keller and Assistant Chief Chris Mills
that training would be in place for the
operation of the new boat. As part of
the process, Fire, Rescue, EMS Divi-
sion Coordinator James Richardson
said a consultant was hired to do an
assessment of the countys maritime
needs, including training.
Commissioner Vice President Evan
Slaughenhoupt, Jr. questioned the
progress of the marine rescue train-
ing. The BOCC was told that its cur-
rently handled by each department,
but county-wide coordinated training
would be initiated so that members
from each department would be avail-
able to man the new boat.
Mills, who is a charter board cap-
tain, said the larger boat was neces-
sary to handle the potential for large
rescues. He said recently a charter
boat was taking on water and it had
17 passengers on board, yet the tem-
porary vessel the department is using
for rescues can only hold six people in
addition to the crew. The one (boat)
we have now is not safe, he said.
In supporting the purchase, Com-
missioner Pat Nutter said, The Bay
can be treacherous in seconds.
The County Times unsuccessfully
attempted to contact the North Beach
VFD to find out the circumstances of
their 2014 Boat 1 accident.

Admiral Says Patuxent NAS Future Still Strong

Photo by Victor Marquart
Rear Adm. Charles Rock
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
Despite the struggles with shrinking defense bud-
gets for ships, planes and sailors being overworked,
a top U.S. Navy official said that Patuxent River Na-
val Air Station still has a vital roll in national de-
fense and will continue to in the foreseeable future.
The future of naval aviation is here at Pax River,
R.Adm. Charles Rock, the commandant of the Naval
District of Washington said Wednesday morning.
The mission here at Pax River is absolutelycritical.
Rock spoke at the Southern Maryland Higher
Education Center to a gathering sponsored by The
PatuxentPartnership.
The base is set to see growth in the near future,
not at the pace it was accustomed to in years past,
but stillsignificant.
The Marine Corps is bringing the development
team for its new heavy lift helicopter, the CH-53
King Stallion, from California to Patuxent NAS,
Rock said.
That includes 100 new jobs coming to the area.
He also pointed to the continued development of
the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aircraft capable of
carrier deployment as another key program at Patux-
ent River that makes it the center for naval aviation.
This is really the future of naval aviation, un-
manned air systems that we can launch from aircraft
carriers, Rock told the gathering. The skys the
limit.
Military construction projects continue on the
base, Rock said, even though there is a serious bud-
get shortfall for capital projects service-wide.
Of the $3.7 billion in building construction needs
the Navy has, there is just $455 million available in
the projected 2020 defense budget, said Rock.
The projects continuing locally include a new
hangar for the MQ-25, barracks for sailors living on
base, improvements to the Atlantic Test Range at a
price tag of $10 million and finally completion of the
Advanced Prototype Facility, which is a $50 million
project, Rocksaid.
Theres a lot of focus on whats happening at Pax
River, he said. The emphasis needs to be on where
to put the money for the most impact, and thats
whats happening at Pax River.
County Commissioner Todd Morgan asked if
Rock were in favor of engaging in shared services,
or civilians or local governments taking over water,
sewer and electrical utilities or services like child
care andhousing.
Morgan said later that the Metropolitan Commis-
sion has signaled it has wanted to take over water
and sewer service to the base, but cannot because
the Navy has not expressed willingness to invest in
improving the on-base infrastructure.
Rock said he would like to see a reversal of that
policy but he was unsure how a shared services deal
could be worked out.
Thats exactly where we need to go, Rock said.
I want to get out from underneath dealing with
infrastructure.
Rock said this would allow him to focus more on
fleet and naval aviation readiness.
Rock praised the record of Patuxent NAS on com-
munity relations but in turn he received complaints
about the continued traffic jams at the base gates
each morning and evening.
Some of this comes from heightened security prac-
tices, he said, while acknowledging that the Navy
could do more to bring non-classified programs and
activities outside the main gate to reduce the amount
of traffic that had to come on board each day.
Morgan noted that there were about 300,000
square feet of empty office space available since the
Navy brought many activities inside the security pe-
rimeter several years ago.
I cant leave my home between the hours of 3p.m.
and 6p.m., said Marcia Greenberg, noting that the
community at large suffers from the traffic jams as
much as those seeking base access.
Out in the community were wondering why this
isnt being pushed more, Greenberg said.
Admitting that there were not any firm plans to
ameliorate the traffic problems, Rock said it was a
problem he would work on.
Thats a loud and clear takeaway, Rock said.
Another problem on base, he said, was the aging
building infrastructure, which has made it difficult
to deal with the ebb and flow of the workforce
there as projects come in or are completed.
There needs to be more modularity, Rock said.
Our infrastructure and facilities are just not as flex-
ible. The requirements outpace the space in most
instances.
Though a base realignment and closure process
(BRAC) is not on the table right now in Congress,
Rock said, that did not stop attendees from asking
how the community can protect itself from the pos-
sibility that the base may lose programs or activities
if a BRAC round occurred.
Rock said the best strategy was to continue to build
relationships and ties with the Navy that would help
ensure it would not be so easy to take away from the
countys biggest economic engine.
Keep doing what you do, Rock said, adding
however that Patuxent NAS has a strong record of
winning at BRAC.
I think history matters, Rock said. That puts
you at a point of a pretty strong position.

Calvert Man Possessed Hundreds
of Child Porn Images
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
A Huntingtown man was indicted late
last month for possessing hundreds of im-
ages of child pornography, some of which
showed sex abuse against infants and tod-
dlers, according to police.
The investigation into the alleged activi-
ties of John Steven Earman involving the
possession of child pornography began
last year when Calvert County Sheriffs
Office Detective Mike Mudd received a
tip from the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children about the upload-
ing of five illicit images from an e-mail
address later found to belong to Earman.
Those initial five images showed adult
males in sex acts with prepubescent fe-
males, charging documents stated.
In April of this year, detectives searched
Earmans residence and confiscated nu-
merous electronic devices and data disks.
The disks were found to contain hun-
dreds of various child pornography im-
ages, police reported.
When police interviewed Earmans girl-
friend at the residence she said she knew
of Lothian, MD. Mr. Brooks was arrested
for CDS possession not marijuana (pre-
scription medication), possession of para-
phernalia and destruction of property less
than $1,000.
On August 25,
2017 Deputy Parks
initiated a traffic
stop at Rt. 4 and
Plum Point Rd.
Huntingtown, Md.
Deputy Parks was
speaking with the
occupants of the ve-
Dearstine hicle when a Sher-
iffs Office K9 conducted a scan of the
vehicle and alerted to narcotics. Deputy
Parks searched the vehicle and located
marijuana and pills. Ryan Dearstine (22)
of Chesapeake Beach, MD was arrested
and charged with CDS Possession not
marijuana (Adderall).
On August 26,
2017 Deputy First
Class Hardesty was
dispatched to the
Giant Food Store
in Lusby, Md. for
a person slumped
over the wheel in
a vehicle. Deputy
Gray Hardesty made
contact with the individual to check their
welfare. The driver was identified as Don-
ald Gray (50) of Lexington Park, Md. and
the passenger was identified as Rosette
Abelende (48) of Piney Point, Md. A Sher-
iffs Office K9 was utilized to scan the ve-
hicle. The K9 alerted positive to narcotics.
A search of the vehicle was conducted and
CDS was found along with stolen mer-

why we had searched her home it was
because of John viewing pornography
The girlfriend told police since she
has known John he has had an interest in
porn.
She told police, though, that she thought
Earman only watched adult pornography.
Later, Earman admitted he had pos-
sessed child pornography, police stated in
court papers, but he had deleted it.
Nearly all of the 13 CD/DVD disks re-
trieved from the residence were found to
have contained a large amount of illegal
child porn, Mudd wrote in court papers,
including images of sex acts performed on
infants, toddlers, pre-pubescent children,

 8 Sports
The Gap Between
Actions and Ideals Ed Cun-
ningham was
an offensive
lineman on the
1991 Wash-
ington Hus-
kies football
team that won
the National
Championship. He went on to play ve
seasons in the NFL and, in recent years,
covered college football for ESPN. Foot-
ball was in his blood. It was his livelihood.
It isnt anymore.
Despite his notable career, I didnt know
who Cunningham was until last week. I
didnt even know that he covered college
football for the worldwide leader in sports.
After he resigned from ESPN last week
and announced that he would no longer
be associated with the game of football,
I cant get Cunningham, this long-time
stranger, out of myhead.
On the surface, its a peculiar move:
Cunningham, just 48, immediately and
voluntarily severed a lifelong connection
with football. But his explanation added a
fascinating level of depth and complexity
that has me racked with consternation.
Cunningham divorced football because
of debilitating head injuries.
In his parting remarks, Cunningham
noted that, the real crux of this is that
I just dont think the game is safe for the
brain. To me, its unacceptable. Cun-
ningham took full ownership of his in-
volvement in the sport but reached a point,
after considering the overwhelming con-
nection between football and long-term
brain injury, that he could no longer be in
that cheerleader spot.
A few years ago, Cunninghams deci-
sion may have been met by snickers, raised
eyebrows and, by the particularly boorish
and emboldened, social media trolling.
Were past that now.
Theres no denying whats happen-
ing when 22 players, 11 on a side, line up
year after year, week after week, day after
day, play after play and try to knock the
snot out of one another. The data cant be
ignored. The movie Concussion and
chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
being diagnosed in the brains of 121 of
122 former NFL players cant be ignored.
The struggles of former players like Tony
Dorsett and Jim McMahon cant be ig-
nored. The suicides of Junior Seau, Andre
The Calvert County Times Thursday, September 7, 2017
SMAC Scoreboard
Waters and Dave Duerson, Cunninghams
former teammate, cant be ignored. As
long as tackle football is played, the partic-
ipants are at risk of severe consequences,
ones largely realized long after the cheers
have silenced.
This new reality is having an impact.
Early retirements from the NFL are grow-
ing more common, a trend that touched
both local teams this year. Ravens offen-
sive lineman John Urschel, 26, ofcially
retired in July and Washington safety Sua
Cravens, 22, is currently on the exempt/
left team list while he contemplates hang-
ing up the cleats. Players at all levels are
likely pondering the same decision. And
how many parents are now conicted
about their children playing football?
Cunningham, though, is unique in that
he might be the rst contributor to the
game to disassociate himself with foot-
ball. His decision wasnt based on his
health or his family, it was rooted in his
heavy conscience.
Cunninghams brutal honesty and bold
action bother me. I have trouble watching
football. Every game results in injuries
players limping or being carted off, others
being knocked woozy or out completely.
Every game, without fail. No other ma-
jor sport is like that. I watched Maryland
beat Texas last Saturday a huge win
for the Terps. But all I could think about
post-game was Maryland cornerback An-
twaine Richardson who was carted off af-
ter sustaining a head injury.
But you know what? Ill keep watch-
ing, despite my guilt. My love of the game
blinds me. I want to believe in new safety
measures, equipment advances and im-
proved concussion protocol. So I lter
reality and weave a twisted justication
to pacify my conscience while continu-
ing to consume the great football machine
and sow the enormous pro football carrot.
And thats what separates Cunningham
from me and those similarly conicted
theres no distance between Cunning-
hams actions and his ideals. A lack of
conviction maintains a gap between mine.
Whether you agree with these thoughts
on football, or dont give a hoot about the
game, theres something universally in-
spiring about a person who boldly and au-
thentically follows their beliefs - even the
inconvenient ones.
Especially the inconvenient ones.

And, you can always stop by the CBL Visitors Center
(turn left at the traffic circle at the end of Charles St.).
There are exhibits about the Chesapeake Bay and work
done at CBL. Hours vary depending on the season. From
September through November they are Friday, Saturday,
& Sunday from 9:30am to 4:30pm.
At the Sept. 9 open house visitors will be directed to
nine stops on campus, including the visitor center. Start-
ing point is a welcome booth on Williams Street. The first
250 children, ages 6-13 will receive an activity passport
for prizes.
One of the highlights of the open house will be con-
ducted by Gonsior at his lab. He will give a liquid nitro-
gen demonstration showing how super cooled liquid ni-
trogen transforms materials. For instance, marshmallows
are transformed into brittle matter (see cover photo).
Other demonstrations include nutrient analysis, oil
spills and dispersants and video presentations in the Ber-

SMECO Holds 79th Annual Meeting

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SME-
CO) held its 79th Annual Meeting on August 23,
2017, at Middleton Hall in Waldorf. The Board of
Directors election was conducted by mail prior to
the meeting.
The following SMECO members were elected to
serve on SMECOs Board for three years: Nancy
W. Zinn in Calvert County; William L. Purnell in
Charles County; Daniel W. Dyer in Prince Georges
County; and J. Douglas Frederick and Joseph V.
Stone, Jr. in St. Marys County. No bylaw amend-
ments were included on this years ballot.
In 2016, SMECO members voted to amend the by-
law that outlines requirements for meetings and vot-
ing, and this years election was conducted entirely
by mail. Ballots were mailed to customer-members
on July 21, and they were instructed to return their
ballots by mail by August 16. Nearly 9,500 mem-
bers voted, and election results were announced at
the meeting.
In his remarks, SMECOs president and CEO,
Austin J. Slater, Jr., explained that an electric coop-
eratives customer-members have the ability to vote
each year for their representatives who serve on the
board. While SMECO has approximately 137,000
members, last year only 882 members registered at
the meeting or by absentee mail-in ballot. Nearly 11
times as many members voted in this years election.
In other matters, Slater said that SMECO has
installed 120,000 new smart meters at homes and
businesses throughout Southern Maryland. SMECO
expects the new meters to improve outage response
time, increase efciency, and save money. A capi-
tal credit general refund of $2.85 million was issued
to members last month, just one more advantage
our members enjoy by being part of a cooperative,
Slater said. In addition, he explained that the cost
costs will also be reduced by almost $2 million upon Calvert County (one seat available):

Dining in the Field The Plesiosaur That Ate
Returns for Second Year Like A Whale
Described as the social event of the
year, the Dining in the Field inaugural
event in 2016 raised $4,647 for the Young
Farmers Scholarship Fund. This years
event aims to double that. Tickets are al-
ready selling for the Thursday, October 12
event set to take place on gorgeous Bris-
coe Farms on the Patuxent River. Cock-
tails at 4:30 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m., rain
or shine. Early bird tickets are $150 online
through Dining Eats Local on Facebook
and the Calvert County Farm Bureau site
until September 15. Dropping a check
or cash off at the Farm Bureau will save
you $5/ticket. There are only 200 spots so
committing early is recommended.
Brain child of former delegate Sue
Kullen, the event raised awareness and
support for the local farming economy.
Kullen is an active member of Calvert
Eats Local, a group that meets monthly
at Calvert Library Prince Frederick that
was started by Greg Bowen and the li-
brary from a book discussion of Barbara
Kingsolvers Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
Calvert Eats Local (CEL) has over 500
members and is dedicated to the support
of sustainable agriculture and community
in Southern Maryland. Kullen said that
she was inspired by a statistic she heard
at a CEL meeting that suggested that if
everyone were to purchase just 10% of
their food locally, it would add $28 mil-
lion to the local economy. The delicious,
high-end meal she and other volunteers
designed was sourced entirely from 30 lo-
cal and regional sources. She challenged
attendees to commit to purchasing as
much of their food locally as was reason-
able. The dinner which included cock-
tails, wine, Patuxent oysters, grilled pork
chops, charcuterie & cheese board, salad,
rockfish with a creamy crab sauce, and a
variety of local roasted vegetables was an

example of what an inspiring meal could
be made from all local ingredients.
Dream Weaver owner Trish Weaver
was the primary chef and caterer for the
event and generously donated her time
and talents for the planning and event.
She said, I love this stuffI love Cal-
vert County, I love sourcing my food
from my neighbors and I love building
community. Kullen recruited 17 other
equally dedicated volunteers who shared
their skills ranging from graphic design to
washing up. Caterer Sue Dzurec helped
create a magical atmosphere with brilliant
dcor and signage celebrating the farms
featured. She also helped in the kitchen
along with Gwyn Novak of No Thyme to
Cook. Suzi Gibson loaned some of her
splendid local flower arrangements to
the event. Jeannae Pinno with Stonesby
Events helped with logistics, beauty and
even helped serve the food. Woodberry
Kitchen in Baltimore accepted the freshly
ground local flour and grains from Next
Step Produce in Charles County and
baked all the bread for free. Farmers were
purposely not asked for discounts since
the purpose of the event is to support local
farmers but the quantity made wholesale
prices worthwhile for many. Slack Winery
and Running Hare were generous with
discounts for wine and beer. The featured
cocktail cooked up by Kullen was a de-
lightful blend of local lemons (really!) and
St. Marys County Tobacco Barn Distill-
ery honey flavored rum.
The food was amazing and it was sea-
soned with the most beautiful setting and
sunset and a magical fellowship shared
among the diners. Did I mention that tick-
ets are available for the October 12 event?

Press Release
Calvert Marine Museums paleon-
tologist, Dr. Stephen Godfrey, co-
authored a just-released study in the
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology en-
titled Cranial Anatomy of Morturn-
eria seymourensis from Antarctica,
and the Evolution of Filter Feeding in
Plesiosaurs of the Austral Late Creta-
ceous. The lead author is Dr. Frank
Robin OKeefe, Ph.D., of Marshall
University, West Virginia. Dr. God-
frey also created the reconstructed
life-model of Morturneria under the
direction of Dr. OKeefe. The model is
currently on display at the Calvert Ma-
rine Museum through December 2017.
Plesiosaurs are ocean-dwelling liz-
ards from the age of dinosaurs, known
for their four flippers, stout bodies,
and long necks. However, until now all
plesiosaurs were thought to be preda-
tors that ate fish, squid, and even other
marine reptiles. This paper describes
a plesiosaur with a large round head, a
huge mouth, and tiny teeth in the low-
er jaw that point the wrong way. The
teeth did not meet tip to tip as in all
other plesiosaurs, but lie together in
a battery that acted in straining food
particles from the water. This feed-
ing style is unknown in other marine
reptiles, but is found in todays baleen
whales.
The identification of whale-like fil-
ter feeding is a startling case of con-
vergent evolution; plesiosaurs and
whales shared many of the intervening

style, and their extreme morphologies
are similar despite arising from differ-

feeding may be linked to changes in
ocean circulation brought on by the
southward movement of Antarctica
during the Late Cretaceous.

States led by F. Robin OKeefe, Pro-
fessor of Biology at Marshall Uni-

Commission for Women Be Wary of Disaster
Launches Series for Charity Scams
Young People
The Calvert County Commission for
Women in partnership with the Calvert
Library will launch a new series called
I CAN that is aimed particularly at
girls from grades 6-12. This program
will encourage young women to con-
sider careers that are still primarily held
by men. Led by Commission member
Kathryn Marsh, the four-part series will
allow participants to meet successful
women who will share their career ex-
periences in such fields as math and sci-
ence, military and law enforcement, fi-
nance and accounting, and international
relations and politics.
The first forum focusing on math &

Acidity Changes Could
Threaten Oysters
A research team has identified a zone
of water that is increasing in acidity in the
Chesapeake Bay. The team analyzed little
studied factors that play a role in ocean
acidificationchanges in water chem-
istry that threaten the ability of shellfish
such as oysters, clams and scallops to
create and maintain their shells, among
otherimpacts.
Changes in pH can tell scientists some-
thing about how the water chemistry
is changing.
Given how widespread low-oxygen
zones are in coastal waters worldwide,
understanding these processes will allow
us to predict the acidification of estuaries
under expected increases in carbon diox-
ide and ongoing mitigation of nutrient in-
puts by management actions, said Jeremy
Testa, assistant professor at the University
of Maryland Center for Environmental
Science. These results will allow us to
identify where and when shell-forming
organisms like oysters will thrive or suffer
in the future.
Researchersdiscovered a pH mini-
mum zone that occurs at a depth of ap-
proximately 10-15 meters (~30-50 feet) in
the Chesapeake Bay. The pH in this zone
is roughly 7.4, nearly 10 times higher in
acidity (or a unit lower in pH) than what
is found in surface waters, which have an
average pH of 8.2.
This zone is suspected to be due to a
combination of factors, most importantly,
from acids produced when bottom water
rich in toxic hydrogen sulfide gets mixed
upward. The team reported the findings
in a paper inNature Communicationson
August 28, 2017.

This study shows for the first time that
the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and am-
monia from the bottom waters could be a
major contributor to lower pH in coastal
oceans and may lead to more rapid acidi-
fication in coastal waters compared to the
open ocean, said University of Delaware
professor Wei-Jun Cai, the papers lead
author and an expert in marine chem-
istry and carbons movement through
coastalwaters.
Previous studies have shown that acidi-
fication can be particularly serious in nu-
trient-rich coastal waters which often con-
tain areas with too little oxygen and high
levels of carbon dioxide near the bottom.
However, scientists dont know exactly
how much OA is occurring in a large bay
like the Chesapeake Bay, though it is well-
documented that agricultural nutrients
entering the water have had a progres-
sive impact on the Bays bottom waters
becoming anoxic, or oxygen depleted,
during the summer months over the past
50years.
The Chesapeake Bay is the largest es-
tuary in the United States. In addition to
providing a thriving marine environment
for tourism and outdoor recreation along
the East Coast, the Bay plays an important
role in the nations economy through the
harvesting of seafood including shellfish,
like blue crab and oysters, and finfish such
as striped bass.

As the public demand for donations
increase for Hurricane Harvey sur-
vivors, many Marylanders may feel
compelled to donate. For those that do
choose to make a donation to support
those in the impacted areas, Maryland
Attorney General Brian E. Frosh and
Secretary of State John C. Wobensmith
advise consumers to be vigilant, and do-
nate wisely.
Sometimes at the end of a storm,
you get a rainbow; other times you get a
scammer, said Attorney General Frosh.
It is wise to research the charity first
before donating, and consumers should
avoid any charity or fundraiser that is
reluctant to give information on how do-
nations are used.
During these times of unfortunate
events, individuals will attempt to prey
on your generosity and introduce all
types of scams, frauds or deceptive acts
to line their own pockets, warns Sec-
retary Wobensmith. Be sure you know
who you are giving to and it is best to
give directly to well-established chari-
