Law enforcement and community or-
ganizations fighting the opioid epidemic
in Calvert are hoping that counting the
cost in overdoses and unveiling it to the
public regularly will give them a weapon
in their war on drug abuse.
New signs posted along main county
roads show the number of overdoses
each month and how many are fatal; it’s
a partnership between the sheriff’s of-
fice, the Calvert Alliance Against Sub-
stance Abuse (CAASA) and other com-
munity groups.
“We’re out in the community but we
can’t reach everyone,” said Candace
D’Agostino, head of CAASA. “This is to
help raise awareness of the problem but
that we’re also having a hard time con-
trolling the situation.”
The latest numbers posted on the signs
in Prince Frederick show there have
been nine overdoses so far in February
with no fatalities.
In January there was one overdose
death, said Sheriff Mike Evans, which
statistically was an improvement over
prior months in 2017.
But it was still one too many, he said.

The Maryland Department of Natu-

The Calvert County Department of Pub-
lic Safety Animal Control Division will
move operations from the Calvert County
Sheriff’s Office into the Department of
Public Safety building at 315 Stafford Road
in Barstow Friday, Feb. 16. The move is part
of Calvert County Government’s reorgani-
zation which began last July.
In the restructure, the Animal Control Di-
vision was moved from the Sheriff’s Office
to the Department of Public Safety to better
align animal services with the county’s new
Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter expected to
open in Fall 2018. The new animal shelter
also reports to the Department of Public
Safety.
“The Animal Control Division remains
dedicated to ensuring the safety and protec-
tion of animals,” said Chief Animal Control
Officer Craig Dichter. “We are confident
the move will be a seamless one and opera-
tions will continue as normal.” 
The Sheriff’s Office will no longer
issue pet licenses; citizens can pur-
chase licenses from the Department of
Public Safety.
The mission of the Calvert County
Department of Public Safety Ani-
mal Control Division is to fairly and
humanely enforce the animal con-
trol laws, regulations and ordinances
as set forth by the state of Maryland and
the Calvert County Board of County
Commissioners.
Animal Control officers work within our
community to respond to calls for service
regarding domestic animals and wildlife
suspected of being rabid. The division edu-
cates the community about animal welfare
and safety, addresses violations of state law
and county ordinances, and patrols assigned
areas looking for problem or nuisance ani-
mals running at large.
For more information about the Calvert
County Animal Control Division, please
call 410-535-1600, ext. 2526, between 8:30
a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or call the Calvert Emer-
gency Communications at 410-535-3491 for

Governor Larry Hogan Signs Rape
Survivor Family Protection Act
Governor Larry Hogan joined Senate
President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller and
Speaker of the House Mike Busch Tues-
day to sign the Rape Survivor Family
Protection Act into law. This new law,
passed with the governor’s vocal support
after nearly a decade of efforts by advo-
cates, will enable rape victims who con-
ceive a child to terminate the parental
rights of their rapist. At the outset of the
2018 session of the Maryland General
Assembly, the presiding officers stated
their support for this legislation, while
the governor called on legislators to act
expeditiously and pledged to sign it the
moment it reached his desk.
“Our administration made a commit-
ment to work with legislative leaders to
pass this important and long overdue
legislation, and today, I am proud to sign
this bill into law,” said Governor Hogan.
“No rapist should be allowed to maintain
their rights as a parent, and no victim
should ever be forced to interact with
their attacker. The Rape Survivor Fam-
ily Protection Act will ensure just that.”
Earlier this year, Governor Hogan
announced several proposals to further
protect, support, and empower victims
of crime in Maryland, and the governor
today urged the Maryland General As-
sembly to act on those bills, which are
currently going through the legislative
process.

String of Robberies

Three robberies over a six day period
have Calvert County sheriff’s investiga-
tors looking for suspects.
The first two robberies, which took
place Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 are believed to be
related, police said.
The first incident took place at the
Shell Gas Station in Prince Frederick at
about 9:30 p.m. where the suspect had
already fled the scene despite a rapid re-
sponse from police units.
The armed robber was described as a
black male wearing all black clothing.
The second robbery was commit-
ted the next day at about 6 p.m. at the
Subway sandwich shop in Dunkirk; the
suspect had already fled by the time the
police arrived as well.
The suspect was described as a black
male being perhaps 20-to-25 years old
and standing between 5-feet, 8-inches to
5-feet, 10-inches tall.
The latest incident was a strong-arm
Cops & Courts 5
of 2018 mirrors legislation that was pro-
posed by the governor during the 2017
session and has received bipartisan sup-
port for nearly a decade. The bill allows
courts to admit evidence of a crimi-
nal defendant’s prior history of sexual
crimes or abuse if he or she is prosecuted
for subsequent sexual offenses.
In addition, the Hogan administration
has proposed legislation to strengthen
the Maryland “Safe-at-Home” Address
Confidentiality Program to better enable
victims of domestic violence to safely
purchase a home without fear of their
abuser finding their address. Governor
Hogan also announced a proposal to cre-
ate a new victim services unit focused
on restitution by centralizing data col-
lection across state agencies that will act
as a one-stop shop for victim notification
and information regarding restitution.
“We look forward to working with the
legislature in a bipartisan manner to pass
our common sense victims’ right pro-
posals in order to make Maryland safer
for all of our citizens,” said the governor.
Since taking office, the Hogan ad-
ministration has demonstrated its com-
mitment to empowering and supporting
victims of crime including convening
the first-ever governor’s statewide vic-
tim services conferences, awarding over
$110 million in federal and state funds
to help victims and organizations, and
serving over 181,000 victims in Mary-
land in the past year alone.

Cancer Prevention,
Early Detection
February is National Cancer Prevention Month
According to the American Cancer
Society, the death rate from cancer in
the U.S. has declined steadily over the
past two decades--falling 25 percent
between 1991 and 2014. Prevention
efforts, new screening methods that
facilitate early detection of cancer
and advancements in treatment have
all contributed to the gains realized.
In Calvert County, unfortunately,
the news isn’t quite as favorable. The
2017 Calvert County Community
Health Needs Assessment indicates
that, compared to the country as a
whole and other counties in Mary-
land, Calvert has both a higher inci-
dence and higher death rate for can-
cers of the breast, prostate and lung.
These three cancer types account for
60 percent of all cancer deaths in
Calvert; colorectal cancer and skin
cancer round out the top five for the
county.
“Although we still don’t know ex-
actly what causes cancer in one per-
son and not another person [with the
same risk factors], we do know that
the risk of developing many types of
cancer can be lowered through pri-
mary prevention strategies,” said Dr.
Ken Abbott, board-certified medical
oncologist and chairman of the Cal-
vertHealth Cancer Committee. “By
not smoking, maintaining a healthy
weight, using alcohol in modera-
tion, avoiding known cancer-causing
agents and protecting yourself from
ultraviolet radiation for example, you
can lower your cancer risk.”
Dr. Arati Patel, medical oncologist
and director of the breast and thorac-
ic cancer programs at CalvertHealth
added, “As physicians, we think about
helping patients prevent cancer by
modifying the behaviors that lead to
known risk factors, detecting cancer
at its earliest stages by making sure
patients engage in appropriate and
evidence-based cancer screening, and
treating cancer using the latest tools
and techniques based on constantly
evolving science and national treat-
ment guidelines.”
“Not every risk factor for cancer
is within an individual’s control,”
said Dr. Patel, “but we do know that
healthy eating habits, regular physi-
The Calvert County Times
cal activity, quitting smoking, limit-
ing alcohol use, protecting your skin
and maintaining good sleep habits
will make you feel better while also
decreasing your overall lifetime risk
of developing many diseases includ-
ing cancer.”
Timely Screening Vital to Early
Detection
In addition to lowering cancer risk
through lifestyle changes, regular
screenings can play an important role
in cancer outcomes by helping de-
tect several types of cancer at earlier
stages when it is usually more easily
treated.
“One of the first questions from
primary care providers will be about
your family’s medical history. This
crucial information can help guide
decisions on the need for genetic test-
ing or a more individualized screen-
ing plan,” said Sandra Corbin, nurse
practitioner and genetic counselor at
CalvertHealth.
While every person is unique,
CalvertHealth’s oncology team gen-
erally recommends following the
National Comprehensive Cancer
Network (NCCN) guidelines for can-
cer screening. For guidelines, visit
https://www.calverthealthmedicine.
org/CancerScreeningGuidelines.
February is National Cancer Pre-
vention Month and individuals with
the help of their doctor can assess
their cancer risk and develop a plan
for prevention and early detection.
Testing services available locally at
CalvertHealth locations throughout
the county include: colonoscopy for
the prevention and early detection of
colon cancer; 3-D mammography, the
latest technology for the early detec-
tion of breast cancer; and low-dose
CT screening for those at high risk
for lung cancer. There is also a ge-
netic counseling program, a high-risk
breast clinic and a high-risk lung clin-
ic available. CalvertHealth’s Mobile
Health Center also provides assess-
ment and some screening services to
underserved areas in the community.

The cutting-edge marine biology re-
search building, located on the Chesa-
peake Biological Laboratory campus
in Solomons, opened in the fall of
2016. It was dedicated to Dr. Reginald
V. Truitt, one of Maryland’s forefathers
of conservation and founder of the
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, the
oldest publicly supported marine labo-
ratory on the East Coast. The build-
ing was lauded as  example of how a
highly technical scientific building can
be constructed utilizing methods with
low environmental impacts and long-
term occupant comfort, without com-
promising scientific integrity.
“As the premier institution conduct-
ing work on the environment in the
State, it is critical that the University
of Maryland Center for Environmen-
tal Science lead the way both in our
research and in our operations,” said
Tom Miller, director of the UMCES’
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory.
“It was a real challenge to construct a
sophisticated research lab that meets
the needs of the scientists while being
as energy efficient as possible. This
award reflects dedication from all in-
volved in the planning, design, and
construction. Our commitment to our
research mission requires us to go the
extra step.”  Press Release from University of

the environment, we must be a leader
in efforts to manage our campuses in
ways that reduce energy consumption
and increase sustainability,” said Peter

Ives Energized By A Life of Service
Ives at the CSM Prince Frederick Campus. Photo by Ceandra
Scott.
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
When she’s not helping to run the Prince Frederick
campus of the College of Southern Maryland as the
acting dean, Barbara Ives is serving in some other or-
ganization or effort to educate and improve the lives
of Southern Maryland’s residents.
A retired Navy captain and graduate of the U.S. Na-
val Academy, Ives can’t remember a time when she
wasn’t in some sort of service.
“I just like helping people,” Ives, who lives in St.
Mary’s County, said. “In the Navy you’re used to
serving.
“It’s almost innate. That’s what I like to do.”
Ives just received an award from the regional chapter
of naval academy alumni for her community service.
She volunteers for Christmas in April helping to
repair people’s homes, the Three Oaks Shelter Veter-
ans Stand Down event that helps veterans get in touch
with critical services and she also helps an organiza-
tion known as Warfighter Advance.
This group helps veterans recover from post-trau-
matic stress disorder (PTSD) without the use of drugs,
alcohol, tobacco or even caffeine.
Years ago, when the War on Terror was in full
swing, individual augmentees, specialists in their
technical military fields were sent oversees to units in
combat zones to serve with them from Patuxent River
Naval Air Station.
They often came back with emotional scars that
The Calvert County Times
were difficult for them to overcome, Ives said.
That was when she decided to help veterans
through volunteering.
“We work to find their triggers so we can help
them heal,” she said.
She’s also helped organize the annual Mission of
Mercy events that bring free dental care to needy pa-
tients around the region.
Though these projects are all founded in good
will, they are still tough assignments that require a
lot of dedication.
Years ago a large line of dental patients at the Mis-
sion of Mercy project at North Point High School in
Charles County began to get a bit difficult to handle;
Ives was in charge of meeting and greeting and she
started the crowd singing “If you’re happy and you
know it,” she told The County Times.
“They all responded,” she said, admitting it was
a strange idea despite its efficiency to keep them
content.
She said the idea came to her from her experi-
ence as a teacher; before coming to CSM she taught
mathematics and served as dean of academics at St.
Mary’s Ryken High School in Leonardtown for 13
years.
There, too, she wanted to find ways to help people
achieve their goals.
“It makes me feel good to achieve that goal in
life,” Ives said. “That’s what education is all about.
“I like to see people move forward with their
lives.”
Ives’ life to this point has been proven by forward
motion.
After graduating from the naval academy she
served in anti-submarine warfare roles, mapping the
depths of the oceans in the Caribbean and then the
waters around Iceland.
Her job was to find places for U.S. submarines to
hide and ways to find Soviet submarines that used
the abyss to evade detection.
“These were the Cold War days,” Ives said. “We
were losing those [Soviet] subs as they left their
territory.
Barbara Ives has a long history as an educator and community volunteer. Photo by Ceandra Scott
Feature 9
“We were using oceanography towards anti-subma-
rine warfare.”
She served aboard the USNS Harkness, a hydro-
graphic survey ship that was a test bed for women
serving at sea.
Ives was a trailblazer for women in the Navy as well.
“Back then women weren’t allowed at sea and there
was the big debate in Congress about allowing women
in the service academies,” Ives said. “The idea was if
women couldn’t fight for their country on ships then
why incur the costs of sending them to the academies.”
Her service aboard the Harkness helped pave the
way for women serving on board line vessels in the
Navy.
She went on to take command at the Naval Oceano-
graphic and Meteorological Command in a reserve
capacity.
Continuing to serve in civilian life she spends
hours moving between the counties going to meet-
ings to make partnerships that strengthen the ties
with the College of Southern Maryland and regional
businesses.
The strategic partnership building work she does
helps make classes students take more relevant to gain
employment, she said.
Among those achievements are getting local con-
tractors to agree to have their classes taught at CSM;
some are technology based, she said, while others are
geared towards teaching new employees to deal with
all the procurement-based terminology rife in the de-
fense industry.
Keeping busy can be draining, she said, but the
Southern Maryland community is held together in
large part by volunteerism and she and her husband
Glen Ives, also a retired Navy captain, academy grad-
uate and helicopter pilot, want to give back to the
community they have adopted.
“In Southern Maryland folks appreciate it when you
volunteer your time,” Ives said. “You’re appreciated
for your efforts.”

SMECO Sponsors 24th

Annual Math Competition
Nearly 200 Middle School Students Compete
The 24th annual regional MATHCOUNTS compe-
tition challenged nearly 200 students from 21 schools
and home-schooled students throughout Southern
Maryland to test their math skills at Calvert Middle
School in Prince Frederick on Saturday, February 3,
2018.
A competitive technological world requires a profi-
ciency in mathematics as a foundation for success in
science, technology, and engineering. MATHCOUNTS
aims to boost student interest in mathematics by mak-
ing the subject challenging and entertaining. Each year,
more than 500 regional competitions are held in middle
schools across the country, with winners advancing to
state competitions and then to the national competition.
The local MATHCOUNTS competition features
rounds of mathematics problems to challenge students
one-on-one and as teams over the course of the three-
hour event. First is the sprint round, a 30-question test
that students complete individually. The competitors go
next to the target round, where they have four sets of
math problems and six minutes to complete each set of
two questions.
In the individual competition, which is based on com-
bined scores in the sprint and target rounds, Holland
Henderson-Boyer from Spring Ridge Middle School in
St. Mary’s County placed first and Emma Vanden Berg
from Milton Somers Middle School in Charles County
placed second.
The top 12 scorers finish the competition by facing
each other in the countdown round, a single-elimina-
tion tournament in which students must respond ver-
bally to questions in a matter of seconds. Ryan Parker
from Calvert Middle School finished first in the count-
down round and Kyle Wojciechowski from Southern
Middle School placed second. Both schools are in Cal-
vert County.
In the team round, foursomes of students answer
10 questions in 20 minutes. In the team competition,
Northern Middle School in Calvert County won first
place; team members included Mara Durham, Jack
MacMillan, Kyle Page, and Aidan Smyth, coached
by Carole Butler. Leonardtown Middle School in St.
Mary’s County placed second; team members included
Caleb Bryan, Ben Dodge, Mika Jones, and Damanjit
Singh, coached by Bernadette Scheetz. Milton Somers
Middle School in Charles County won third place;
team members included Will Alcorn, Rachel Chernoff,
Taylor Peterson, and Emma Vanden Berg, coached by
Jennifer Rowland. The team from Windy Hill Middle
School took fourth place and Plum Point Middle School
took fifth place. Both schools are in Calvert County.
Sponsors for the local MATHCOUNTS competition
are SMECO and the Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s
county public schools, with the support of the National
Society of Professional Engineers. Volunteers from
SMECO helped score the tests. Winners of the Southern
Maryland chapter competition will go on to compete
in the statewide contest at Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore. The top four individual competitors from
each state competition receive an all-expenses-paid trip
to the national competition in Washington, DC, in May.

Lady Seahawks Pull Out Seahawks Take Down
Last Minute Victory Ferrum College
Olivia Nowlin ‘18 - Photo Credit: Julia Persell
The St. Mary’s College of Maryland
women’s basketball erased a six-point
deficit in the final minute and a half to
pull out a 67-65 Capital Athletic Confer-
ence road win over Southern Virginia
University Saturday afternoon. Senior
captain Olivia Nowlin (Glenelg, Md./
Glenelg) tallied a game- and team-best
17 points while sophomore guard Janey
Mathisen (Marshfield, Mass./Notre
Dame Academy) laid in the game-win-
ning bucket in the final seconds to lead
the Seahawks to the season sweep of
SVU.
The Basics
Score: St. Mary’s 67, Southern Vir-
ginia 65
Records: St. Mary’s (8-14, 4-12 CAC),
Southern Virginia (12-11, 5-11 CAC)
Location: Buena Vista, Va. – Knight
Sports Arena
How It Happened
Southern Virginia entered the fourth
period with only a one-point lead before
back-to-back baskets by Katie Garrish
gave the Knights a five-point cushion 41
seconds into the last quarter. SVU would
build a six-point advantage on four sepa-
rate occasions, with the last one coming
at 1:26 when Cory Stout knocked down
two free throws for a 63-57 SVU lead.
The Seahawks then took over as four
different players combined for a 10-2 run
over the final 1:17 of the game. Mathisen
scored four points in the run, including
the game-winning layup with four sec-
onds to go, while the Knights went 0-for-
4 at the line with one turnover.
Southern Virginia opened up a five-
point lead in the first stanza behind
50.0% (6-12) shooting from the field but
the Seahawks used eight points off of
seven SVU miscues to pull within 17-16.
The Knights came out firing in the
second period, shooting nearly 70%
(9-13) from the field during the next
15 minutes. After St. Mary’s claimed a
one-point lead for the second time in the
quarter, Southern Virginia closed out the
first half on an 8-0 run to boast a 36-29
halftime advantage.
Shelby Butler was the half’s leading
scorer with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting
while Nowlin and junior captain Katie

Letter to the Editor

The Maryland Legislature is currently considering
Senate Bill 903, which is: “For the purpose of repeal-

Higher Education Center and its governance: and gen-

18 FINANCIAL PLANNING TIPS FOR 2018
By Lyn Striegel
Contributing Writer
This is for all you procrastinators out there. You know who you are. It’s never
too early or too late to start a financial plan. Every year I prepare a list of financial
planning tips. In hopes of inspiring you to start a financial plan, here are 18 tips for
your 2018 financial plan:
STASH THE CASH.
The first step is to stash enough cash to give you breathing room if something
terrible happens like an illness or job loss. At least 6 months and probably a year’s
worth of income will do it.
PAY YOURSELF FIRST.
If you own a small business, get yourself on the books too. It’s tempting to pay
everyone else before you, but by doing that you cheat yourself. Be kinder to you.
NO CREDIT CARDS ALLOWED.
Think about it—twenty percent interest on your purchases? This is a terrible drag
on your finances. Pay off those credit cards with a plan. Then, keep one for emergen-
cies but otherwise buy with cash.
MAX OUT THE 401(K).
If your employer has a 401(k) and you do not participate, shame on you. Especially
if the employer will match your contributions—that’s free money to you.
GET IT ALL IN ONE PLACE.
If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it. Get all your investment accounts under one
roof with one statement a month.
ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE, ALLOCATE.
This goes without saying, but unless you allocate your assets across cash, stocks
and bonds, you will not succeed as an investor. I always recommend investors con-
sult a professional to allocate their assets—interview the professionals until you find
one that responds most to your concerns.
LET IT RIDE.
Compound interest is your friend. The more you can reinvest your interest or
dividends, the better.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.
Following the business news to figure out how to make a plan is just foolish. The
news cycle is not your investment guide. Turn off the 24-hour business “news” and
focus on making a plan to last over time.
SAVINGS ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
You’ve got to make investments to earn money on your money. Just keeping it in
the mattress will not help defeat inflation. With interest rates rising, you now have a
better chance of earning money on your investments.
Thursday, February 15, 2018
SOCIAL SECURITY.
It’s not enough to live on, but it is a safety net for
you. Check out the benefits to which you are entitled
and keep in mind that there are limitations under age
66 to the amounts you can earn if you receive social
security.
INSURANCE.
There are insurance products out there that can
give you income and security for your principal. A
professional is required to advise you on all the prod-
ucts available to you. Do your due diligence and in-
terview professionals—unless they can explain how
the insurance products work, walk away. You want
someone who treats you with respect and is well ed-
ucated about insurance products and you and your
family.
INDEX FUNDS.
I like ‘em and so does everyone else. Keep it basic
with index funds that track the major indexes. There
are far too many hybrid index funds out there that are too risky. Forget the bells and
whistles—go for the basic indexes.
BENEFICIARIES.
You need to check on what beneficiaries you have designated for your accounts,
retirement plans, insurance policies, etc. Make sure it isn’t the ex-spouse or deceased
parents. The latest dated beneficiary designation counts so keep these up to date.
REQUIRED DOCS.
You know I’m going to advise you to get your estate plan in order as a major part
of your financial plan. You need a Will or a Living Trust, a Power of Attorney and
a Living Will. Without these documents, you have no power to help your loved ones
in a medical emergency and the courts will decide the distribution of your assets.
GET YOUR CREDIT RATING AND KEEP UP WITH IT.
There are lots of free available tools to help you get your credit rating. Review
your credit report and question anything that is not clear to you. Submit corrections
to all three major credit reporting agencies and follow-up to make sure the correc-
tions have been implemented on your report. To re-build your credit, obtain a credit
card, make a small monthly purchase and pay it off every month. Keep doing this for
a year. The results will show up as current on your credit report and raise your score.
CONFIDENCE.
This is the hard part. Financial planning is not rocket science—anyone can do this
by following simple rules. HAVE CONFIDENCE.
GET MORE EDUCATION.
There are so many learning tools out there. Every major brokerage firm and
insurance company has tips for you on starting and maintaining a financial plan.
And, most reputable financial advisors are very willing to give you their time free of
charge to discuss financial planning. Take advantage of what is available to you and
learn more. You can never get enough education.
BE PATIENT.
You will not achieve success by chasing the most current trend. Pick your invest-
ments carefully, making sure to allocate and be patient about the results. If at any
time your investments decline more than 15%, review them with your advisor It may
be time to get out of some of them. Your horizon should be long-term.
