Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-5)announced today that the U.S. Departmentof Housing and Urban Development (HUD)has awarded $44,220 to the Calvert CountyHousing Authority to help nd permanenthomes for homeless veterans. The grantfunding is provided through the HUD-Vet-erans Affairs Supportive Housing program(HUD-VASH) and can be used for housinghomeless veterans in Calvert, Charles, andSt. Marys counties.

Im pleased that ve additional HUD-VASH vouchers have been awarded tothe Calvert County Housing Authority tohelp provide permanent housing to vet-erans in Southern Marylands tri-countyregion, stated Congressman Hoyer.These vouchers are provided based on re-

sults from the annual Point-in-Time sur-vey, a count of sheltered and unshelteredhomeless individuals, which I am proud tosupport each year in Southern Maryland. Itis important that we do everything we canto ensure that our brave veterans and theirfamilies are off of the streets and in a placethey can call home. I will continue to workin Congress to push for measures that helpget veterans the resources they need as theytransition back home and into civilian life.

Southern Maryland has received a totalof 35 vouchers since December 2014. Inaddition to providing housing assistance,the HUD-VASH program provides vet-erans with case management and clini-cal services through the Department ofVeterans Affairs.

Radiology Imaging Associates (RIA) isnow offering the latest innovative examfor breast cancer detection, using the lowdose Genius 3D Mammography Sys-tem from Hologic. This advanced breasttomosynthesis technology allows our radi-ologists to obtain the best possible imageswhile providing the most comfortable andsafest patient experience available. Three-dimensional mammography (tomosynthe-sis) has proven benecial to patient out-comes with both increased cancer detectionand a reduction in the need for call-backs.The additional benets of the low dosetechnology include a reduction in the scantime (up to 60%) and about a 40% reductionin radiation exposure for the patient. Theuse of the low dose Genius 3D Mam-mography is a great step forward in ourwomens imaging program, says Joseph P.Finizio, MD, Medical Director, RIA. Thisnew system offers unparalleled diagnostic

capabilities, a more comfortable exam andultimately greater peace of mind for our pa-tients. The low dose 3D mammography isour recommendation for women of all agesand breast densities. The system allows ourradiologists to more effectively pinpoint thesize, shape and location of abnormalitieswhile simultaneously decreasing the num-ber of women asked to return for additionaltesting. RIAs radiologists are certied bythe American Board of Radiologists andhave experience with over 35,000 tomo-synthesis studies to date. RIA ofces havebeen recognized by the American Collegeof Radiology (ACR) with the designationas Breast Imaging Centers of Excellencefor our comprehensive womens imagingprograms which includes lower dose 3Dmammography, stereotactic breast biopsy,ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsy,andbreast MRI and breast MRI-guided biopsy.

In cooperation with the Calvert AllianceAgainst Substance Abuse (CAASA), theCalvert County Health Department and theCalvert Memorial Hospital, Sheriff MikeEvans announces the deployment of a newinitiative to help combat prescription opi-oid and heroin abuse within our communi-ty. The Sheriffs Outreach to Loved OnesIn Distress (SOLID) program is designed toprovide face to face outreach to families,friends and signicant persons affected bythose addicted to prescription opioids andheroin. Sheriff Evans and the men andwomen of the Calvert County Sheriff s Of-ce, recognize the devastation caused bythis addiction and strive daily to combatthe harmful effects touching all parts ofour community. Drug abuse causes dam-age regardless of demographics, wealth, or

community stature of those involved. Spe-cially trained SOLID Deputies will contactpersons affected by drug abuse and over-doses in an attempt to provide them witha comprehensive, detailed and necessaryoutreach program. This program will as-sist the community with education andtraining to help those involved, providingsupport and guidance in their respectivesituations.

Sheriff Evans believes that the SOLIDprogram is just one aspect of a comprehen-sive multifaceted strategy that includes ag-gressive enforcement actions against thosewho distribute these substances, outreachto those surrounding the addicted and sin-cere help and strong shoulders to lean on bythose addicted and in need.

sure and a privilege towork alongside you.On behalf of the hospi-tal and as a member ofthis community, I thankyou.

SaturdayJune 11th Student Library CardThanks to a partnership between Calvert

County Public Schools and Calvert Li-brary, students now have access to Calvertlibrary through student library cards. Stu-dents can check out up to ve print materi-als and download resources such as booksas eReaders.

Each student can access the librarysdigital resources online through his orher unique identier and a password, saidJennifer Sturge, a technology integrationteacher specialist at Calvert County PublicSchools.

No physical cards will be produced forstudent accounts. When students go to thephysical library, they provide their uniqueidentier and then will be asked for theirbirthday or address or another way to en-sure the patron is the student, said Sturge.

With a regular card, cardholders cancheck out as many as 75 items. However,student cardholders can check out up tove print materials only. Unlike the regular

card, there will be no nes associated withstudent accounts. Items must be returned asthey normally would.

As summer approaches, this program isdesigned to encourage summer reading andgive students an extra push to rejuvenatelearning through books. Call it the sum-mer slide or summer slump, students whokeep learning over the summer are muchmore likely to be ready for school when itreconvenes.

Future Ready, thats what this isall about, said Calvert County Public

Schools superintendent Daniel CurryTwenty-four hours a day. Seven days aweek. Whether the school door is open orclosed, our children will be able to researchand collaborate.

If a student already has a library cardthe student card acts as an additional cardor the child can choose to use only the stu-dent card or opt out the student card. A par-ent or guardian may have his or her nameadded to the student account.

Fine Forgiveness WeekIf you have avoided the library because

you have a charge on your account, nowis your chance to start the summer with aclean slate. Stop by any Calvert Library location from June 6 to 11, and ask to haveyour account cleared of nes and lost itemcharges. If you happen to have any of thoselost items, the library would love to havethem back. Bring them back, and the library will get rid of the old charges.

Lynda.com is Available to All LibraryCardholders

HOW DOESA TANKLESSWORK?The obvious differencebetween a tank and atankless is its size.Not only will you gainsignifcant space, butyoull also get endlesshot water with a tankless.

Noritz tankless waterheaters last longer thantraditional tank waterheaters and are backed upwith a 12-year warranty.

With a tankless, you wontbe using hot water that isstored in a tank that canaccumulate scale and rustover time. Noritz unitsallow you to set thetemperature you want.

STEP 1A hot water

tap isturned on.

STEP 3The computerautomatically

STEP 5The Noritz tankless water heater

provides an endless stream ofhot water. When the tap is

SPACE SAVING CALCULATION

A traditional tank-type water heater takes up to 13 ft 2of

space. If 1 ft2is worth $200, thats $2,600 (13 ft 2x $200)

worth of space you could be saving at Noritz.* Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,

Education

Education ofcials in Calvert Countysay they are worried that some of their bestand most experienced teachers are beinglost to neighboring St. Marys County overdissatisfaction with their pay schedules.

Teachers in Calvert have long com-plained of a lack of step increases in theirsalaries, which have fallen behind over thelast several budget cycles.

The problem is that we are several stepsbehind, said Dennis Mooney, head of theCalvert teachers union, adding that teach-ers here looked at the budget process inSt. Marys were elected leaders recentlyagreed to bring teachers up to full salariesthat they had been promised.

St. Marys was willing to bring them upto full salary, Mooney said of the compel-ling reason behind so many Calvert per-sonnel seeking interviews in St. Marys inrecent months.

Another problem for Calvert teachers,Mooney said, was one of how much theiryears of teaching experience counted to-wards where they fell in the organizationspay scale.

Currently, the school system caps theamount of experience that counts towardspay scale placement at just ve years.

Mooney said that meant that a teacherwith 10 years experience could expect tocome into the Calvert school system at onlystep No. 5 on the pay scale, essentially ve

steps behind where they could expect to beplaced in neighboring St. Marys.

Mooney said his union was not certainexactly how many teachers from Calvertwere seeking employment in St. Marys orpossibly in Charles County but the schoolsystem had already lost 46 teachers toneighboring jurisdictions last year as a re-sult of dissatisfaction with pay.

It is signicant, Mooney said of thenumber looking to leave this year. Thisyear is probably close to last year.

Were losing our most valuable teach-ers; its a large exodus at this time.

Kelly McConkey, member of the Cal-vert County Board of Education, said therewas a step increase for teachers built intothe scal 2017 budget but it wasnt enoughto persuade teachers to give Calvert moretime to nd a solution.

The step increase programmed for this

coming scal year costs about $2.7 to$3 million, McConkey told The CountyTimes.

He said that Calvert teachers had beentold in past years that money would befound to make their pay whole after budgetshad been passed and it never happened.

They have every reason to not believeus, McConkey said. They dont feel ap -preciated, but they are appreciated.

You no doubt have observed the largeAmerican Flag on the tall agpole alongthe north side of Routes 2/4 just north ofSolomons. Are you aware of the specialsignicance of the place-ment of this greatAmerican symbol? This ag is known as

Charleys Flag in honor of Charles Se-rabian who devoted his life to his country,his county, his community, his friends, andeven people he didnt know, but knew oftheir need. Charley loved his god and lovedhis American Flag. Among his many civicfeats, his greatest interest was in seeingthis symbol was protected from those whowould desecrate it for whatever reason. Hehad a long history of lobbying Congress topass a law protecting it from such unpatri-otic actions and could always be found inthe gallery of the House of Representativeseach and every time the legislature broughta Bill to protect the Flag before the fullHouse. Unfortunately, Charley never sawhis dream come true before he passed in2000.

Charley was a truly special person who

continually gave of himself. Even in deathhe continues to provide support for othersthrough large nancial gifts he bequeathedto the American Legion, his parish at OurLady Star of the Sea in Solomons, and hisBrother Knights with the Knights of Co-lumbus Council 9258 where the Knightsprovide a Scholarship Fund in his honorthat supports four college students a year.A Navy veteran of World War II, he wasdescribed as a war hero during the manyeulogies given during his funeral service.He never spoke of his war time experienceand seldom talked of his military service.

Following the end of the War, he tookadvantage of the new GI Bill afforded theveterans and earned a Business Degreefrom the University of Maryland. He lateropened a restaurant in College Park and

successfully managed this popular enter-prise for more than twenty years. He soldhis business in the 70s and moved to awaterfront home in Solomons and totallyimmersed himself in community affairs.He became very active with the Arick LoreAmerican Legion Post 274 in Lusby. Hewent on to serve in many roles at the Statelevel. This ag pole and its ag was erectedby the Legion in his honor and continuesto be maintained by the members the Post.

Additionally, Charley was one of theoriginators of the Boy State Program inMaryland, a week long summer nationalleadership event that hosts young, brighthigh school juniors in an intense civicscourse in National and State government.Held at various college campuses such asWashington College on the Eastern Shore

and the Naval Academy in Annapolis eachsummer, this training has produced manyfuture legislators. President Bill Clinton isa graduate of Boys State in Arkansas dur-ing his youth. Charley served as memberof the staff for the Maryland event for manyyears.

Charley served in every leadership andmanagement position including CalvertCounty Commander for the three Postswithin the County. While serving as theLusby Post Commander, he initiated theAmerican Red Cross bi monthly Blood-mobile visits at the Post, reported to be therst time this type of assistance was at-tempted in Southern Maryland. Now, af-ter 35 years, these efforts continue to be avaluable aid and meet critical health needsfor the citizens of the local area. Addition-

ally, he was instrumental in supporting

the County American Legion Babe RuthBaseball program, the Annual AmericanLegion Oratorical Contest for high schoolstudents, and many programs that supportand serve the needy. In particular, the Na-tional Childrens Medical Center, better

known as Childrens Hospital in Washing-ton was one of his favorite charities. Hewas often observed pulling out his check-book or opening his wallet to help a personless fortunate than himself. For his hugeheart, his many volunteer achievements,and the great willingness to give of himselfto others, Charley was named by GovernorParris Glendening as the Maryland MostBeautiful Person of the Year in 1996.

Finally, each July 4th, Charley opened hishome for a large party of f riends and neigh-bors to celebrate our Countrys birthday.He provided all the food and beverage andlive music and always attracted more than200 people to this popular annual event. Itwas this great public display of his gener-osity and friendship that people remembermost about this beloved man. He always

looked forward to this gathering and al-ways had the most fun and enjoyment of allthose in attendance!

He was a great friend to all and his stillgreatly missed by those of us who knewhim. His funeral was one of the larg-est held at Our Lady Star of the Sea. Thechurch was unable to accommodate thenumber of friends who came from all overto be a part of this celebration of his life.

Busses were provided to take many of theattendees to his burial at Gate of HeavenCemetery in Silver Spring. His funeralprocession passed his agpole where theentire Patuxent High Schools NJROTCUnit stood at attention and rendered honors

as his hearse passed. Charley would haveloved this scene for it had the two thingshe cherished the most, his Flag and ouryouth. I remember this scene vividly as wefollowed in our car behind the buses. Ourcar radio surprisingly was playing I AmProud To Be An American by Lee Green-wood at that exact moment!!! Honestly itdid happen as I described it!

In summary, Charles Serabian was aPatriot, a Veteran, a Legionnaire, a Broth-er Knight of Columbus, but most of all afriend to all. He would be especially proudto know his wealth and his legacy will liveon to provide long term supportfor deserving young people whowish to better their own lives.

Maybe the next time you passthis ag pole with its beautiful

red, white, and blue banner withits 50 stars ying majesticallywith the breeze, you might re-member this great American andall of the great American valuesand character traits he exhibitedthroughout his life. I raise a sa-lute each time I pass this greattribute to my friend Charley.

Feature Story

For the rst time in 13 years, Calverts local incometax will rise from 2.8 percent to 3 percent. The newtax rate wont kick in until Jan. 1, 2017, meaning resi-dents 2016 tax return will not be affected. The propertytax will go up from .892 to .952 per $100 of assessedvalue. The property tax increase will take effect onJuly 1, 2016, the beginning of the 2017 scal year. Un-til Tuesday, the property tax hasnt changed for nearlythree decades.

The Calvert County Board of County Commission-ers (BOCC) presented the tax increase proposal inApril. On Tuesday, the board passed the budget to raisetaxes to ll the $8.8 million budget gap. CommissionerMike Hart and Steven Weems voted against the pro-

posed budget and the other three commissioners, EvanSlaughenhoupt, Tom Hejl and Pat Nutter, voted for it.

Governmental statistics show that Calverts medianhousehold income is about $95,000. After the tax in -crease, an average family will see their income tax goup $190 a year, roughly $16 per month. For a house val-ued at $320,000 - the average price of a single-familyhome, homeowners will see their property tax increase$192 a year. When combined, an average family paysnearly $400 more taxes annually after the hike.

Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt cited aprolonged national economic slowdown and the states

reduction of funding as major causes for the budgetdecit. The cut from the state on highway and teach -ers pensions is about $10 million a year, previously ab-sorbed by the fund balance. The much anticipated taxrevenue from Dominion Cove Point LNG (LiqueedNatural Gas) liquefaction project wont kick in until the2018 scal year.

The Calvert County Republican Central Committeeexpressed their strong opposition to the tax increase be-fore the Tuesday vote. In an open letter published onFacebook on June 2, the central committee called thetax hike a result of poor planning, judgment, stew-ardship, and irresponsible behavior on the part of theBOCC. The letter went on to say that decreasing stu-

dent enrollment showed young families are not ar-riving at Calvert County at the rates we have seen inthe past. According to Calvert County Public Schoolsand the Board of Education, full-time student enroll -ment dropped from 16,373 in 2010 to 15,569 in 2015.Moreover, the central committee argued as more babyboomers retire and pay less income taxes, our tax basewill continue to shrink. The central committee saidthey had not received satisfactory answers to their ques-tions regarding the steps the commissioners planned totake to prevent future tax hikes.

Two days before the ofcial vote, eight elected central

Feature Story

committee members unanimously voted tosent out robo calls to ask all Republicansin Calvert County to contact county com-missioners and demand they vote no on thetax increases and focus more on economicdevelopment in the county.

Commissioner Nutter responded to thecentral committees critical letter duringthe public meeting Tuesday. Nutter calledthe eight members of the central committeethe gang of eight and said he is a Repub-

lican, but he serves people of every race,creed and color. He said that he would notbe bullied or intimidated and would notget into a Facebook war.

Commenting on the heated discussionssparked from the central committees openletter on Facebook, Hejl said he found dis-paraging comments about governmentalemployees on social media disgusting.

Hejl also considered some commentatorsun-informed. He said someone suggestedselling the Patuxent Business Park, towhich his response was we dont own thepark. Id like to sell Mikes business, but Idont own it.

Slaughenhoupt added in his commentthat the county had to make the hard choicebetween quality of life and raising taxes.I am as committed to limited governmentas they come, yet I believe a tax increase

is needed to maintain the character of ourcounty, he said.Commissioner Mike Hart opposed tax

increase from the very beginning and saidhe did not want 94,000 Calvert citizenspaying for individual things. Althoughnot being able to nd $10 million to cut inthe budget, Hart said he would not spendour childrens future and do not advocate

living above our means.The other commissioner on the board

who opposed the tax hike was StevenWeems. He said he just would prefer to waitanother year.

The budget passed Tuesday shows thatnearly 40 percent of the fund would go tothe public school system. Another 40 per-cent would fund the county government.

In a public hearing in May, the Directorof Finance and Budget Tim Hayden pre-

sented that the tax increase will generateenough money for the county to balance itsbudget without dipping into the fund bal-ance for the fourth year. The fund balanceis the countys emergency or rainy-dayfund. If the county chooses to withdrawfund from it to make up for the budget gapfor the 2017 scal year, the fund balancewould become dangerously low less than

$4 million. The board chose not do tap intthe fund balance this year to protect thcountys triple A bond rating, which allowthe county to borrow at a low interest rate

Nearly half of the countys revenucomes from real property tax. Income tacontributes to a quarter of the revenue. Thproperty and income tax simply didnt growfast enough to make up the loss of fundinfrom the state. Compared with 2014, property tax slightly dropped while income ta

increased only $4 million in 2015.An income tax of 3 percent would puCalvert in line with St. Marys and Charlecounties. It places Calvert the 12th higheamong 23 counties and Baltimore city ithe state.

I am as committed to limited government as they come, yet Ibelieve a tax increase is needed to maintain the character of ourcounty. Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt

Some people say I dont have kids in school, so why should I payany taxes [to support the school system]? But you do have kidsin school. They may not be your biological kids. But they are yourfuture. Commissioner Pat Nutter

I had a saying when I was a trooper. That saying was: do the rightthing when no one is looking. I now have a new saying: do the rightthing whether it costs you an election or not. And I frmly believe that.I took this job and I do the right thing. I dont worry about being re-elected. Commissioner Tom Hejl

Program Provides a Look at Federally-Funded State Transportation Projects

To ensure all Marylanders have a voicein transportation projects throughout thestate, the Maryland Department of Trans-portation (MDOT) is inviting the publicto comment on the Draft Fiscal Year 2017Statewide Transportation ImprovementProgram. Marylands Statewide Trans-portation Improvement Program (STIP) isa four-year, scally constrained, and pri-oritized set of transportation projects thatis compiled from state, local, and regionalplans. The STIP is the formal process ofrequesting federal funding for the projectsin the legislatively approved six-year trans-portation budget known as the Consolidat-ed Transportation Program (CTP). Theseprojects were rst presented to the public

for comment in fall 2015 as part of the CTPtour to Marylands 23 counties and to Bal-timore City.

It is vital for people from every cornerof the state to have a voice, said SecretaryPete K. Rahn. Through this effort, allMarylanders will have input in developingand delivering a better transportation net-work across the state.

The STIP is Marylands federally-re-quired program that compiles all of theregional metropolitan Transportation Im-provement Programs with State non-metro-politan projects to provide one comprehen-

sive list of local and regional priority proj-ects. These projects lists are developed us-

ing the 2035 Maryland Transportation Plan(MTP) as a guide. The MTP is a 20-yearvision for transportation in Maryland thatoutlines the states transportation goals,policies and priorities and helps guidestatewide investment decisions across allmodes of transportation.

STIP projects are selected through anannual development process. The Mary-land STIP is nancially constrained by the

revenues reasonably expected to be avail-able through the STIPs four-year fundingperiod. Maryland is federally required toupdate the STIP every four years. How-ever, MDOT develops a new STIP closer toevery two years and solicits comments inaccordance with federal law. The STIP was

last updated in 2014.MDOTs Draft STIP can be viewed

at mdot.maryland.gov/Draft_FY2017_STIP. The public may comment in writingthrough July 5 by email to:[email protected] or mail to STIPComments Ofce of Planning & Capital

Programming, Maryland Department ofTransportation, 7201 Corporate CenterDrive, Hanover, Maryland 21076. This isthe nal phase of public comments on the

STIP before the Final FY 2017 STIP is sub-mitted to the US Department of Transpor-tation for approval.
