Trooper in Restaurant Rant

MHBRNo. 103

QBH St M County TImes Half Ad:Layout 1 3/1/11 3:28 PM Page 1

By Guy LeonardStaff Writer

Maryland State Trooper Cpl. Paul Trossbach may not have shown the best behavior by engaging in a rant about his service following a meal at a Prince Frederick Ruby Tuesday’s last month, but the state found assault al-legations made against him by waitress Amy Howes were unfounded, the Calvert Gazette has learned.

Laura Martin, Calvert County State’s Attorney, said Monday that while she believed the March 22 events oc-curred as originally reported by several media outlets, there was simply not enough evidence to show that Tross-bach had any intention to actually assault Howes with a check presenter, as she had alleged.

“I have absolute confidence it happened,” Martin said. “There was no criminal intent.”

In a letter to Trossbach’s commanding officer, Mar-tin wrote Howes claimed the slapping of her arm was in-tentional, but Trossbach claimed it was not.

There were also allegations that Trossbach threat-ened to have the restaurant shut down, turned on his car’s police lights in the parking lot and warned customers of being poisoned if they ate at the establishment.

Trossbach denied accosting patrons in the parking lot.

While there was no evidence of criminal intent, Mar-tin said Trossbach’s behavior was not acceptable.

“This in no way condones the behavior of Cpl. Tross-bach or is meant to belittle the embarrassment and emo-tional stress to Ms. Howes,” Martin wrote. “As a com-munity we expect and demand that our law enforcement professionals conduct themselves in an appropriate man-ner at all times, whether on duty or off duy.

“Conduct such as that displayed by Cpl. Trossbach, while not criminal, should not — and I’m sure, will not — be tolerated by the Maryland State Police as it casts a blemish on the entire organization.”

Trossbach, a veteran state trooper who currently serves at the Leonardtown Barrack in St. Mary’s County, still faces an internal investigation into his conduct during the incident.

The incident started when Trossbach became dissat-isfied over his and his family’s meals being undercooked and became irate after waiting nearly 10 minutes for the check, Martin’s office stated.

Howes claimed, in initial interviews, that Trossbach went on a profanity-laced tirade about her service. Tross-bach admitted he only remembered saying ‘What the hell is the matter with you?’ to Howes.

When Howes walked past the table, she alleged, the trooper slapped her with the presenter and told her to ‘make it quick’, adding that while she was not hurt by the incident, it rattled her.

One witness sitting nearby said they did not notice the altercation, nor did they hear the supposed slap.

Trossbach admitted saying he would report the res-taurant to the local health department, adding while his voice was not loud, he did use profanity, Martin’s letter read.

One witness to that conversation told investigators Trossbach was “agitated” and “not innocent” in the affair.

To counter the allegations he had turned on police lights in the parking lot and yelled at patrons, Trossbach said he had simply reacted instinctively to a speeding mo-torist who had entered the parking lot.

Cold Case Murderer Caught

in CalvertBy Guy LeonardStaff Writer

Howard County police have charged a man believed to be living in Prince Frederick as the suspect in his wife’s murder in 1991.

Robert Arnold Jarrett, 57, of Elkridge, was arrested April 18 and charged with first- and second-degree murder in connection with the death of Christine Jarrett.

“He was arrested while driving in the area of Double Oak Road in Prince Frederick,” said Howard County po-lice spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn. “The detectives be-lieve he had been living there a few months, but don't have an exact date.”

Jarrett reported his wife missing 21 years ago, after he had walked away from argument he had with her at the time, he told police then. She was never seen again.

Police contacted his second wife recently, who is also separated from Jarrett, and obtained permission to search the property in Elkridge and found human remains buried in concrete beneath a shed, police reported.

The remains are believed to be those of Christine Jar-rett, police said.

Firefighters Memorialize Fallen Comrades

By Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Delegate Mark Fisher visited the monthly National Ac-tive and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) Chapter 1466 meeting to talk about the recently-ended legislative session, including the prioritization of issues, the “Doomsday Budget” and the septic bill, among other topics.

“It started out really contentious from the beginning,” Fisher said.

He said calling it a “Doomsday Budget” is a misnomer. There is still an increase in spending over last year, he said, adding the legislature was focused on “less important issues” like same sex marriage when they should have been trying to address the state-wide 13 percent unemployment rate.

He said they also spent a long time on the possibility of moving the cost of teacher pensions to the county level. While this would free up some money in the state’s budget, Fish-er said it was a “devastating idea,” because the counties likely would have to raise property taxes to help cover the cost. The legislature also raised judicial salaries at a time when most other jobs have a pay freeze, he explained.

He told the assembled members about the trust funds that keep getting raided, like the bay restoration fund and the transportation fund. He said delegates and senators

are advised against putting language in their bills that prevents the funding from being misappropriated, and until locks are put on the trust funds, the money will continue to go to help the general fund.

NARFE is a nation-wide program “…dedicated to preserving and improv-

ing the health care and retirement benefits of federal work-ers and retirees,” according to www.narfe.org.

In addition to Fisher’s presentation, the members dis-cussed upcoming programs, like the picnic lunch at the Dunkirk Park on June 27.

The next Calvert County NARFE meeting will be May 17, featuring guest speaker Kristen Soper, Assistant to U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski. The meeting will be at the Cal-vert Pines Senior Center in Prince Frederick.

After five years of fundraising, the county’s firefighters have the money to erect a memorial to their comrades who have died, both in action and off duty.

“The firefighters in Calvert County have done quite a bit to put this together,” said Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department Chaplain Mike Bowen.

Fundraising continues even as the unveiling approaches. On April 22, the Prince Fred-erick fire station held a quarter auction with the proceeds going toward the memorial. The fire station has been dedicated to having a fundraiser every year to make sure the memorial can be built, said Prince Frederick Fire Chief Brian Fricke.

The centerpiece is already erected at the cemetery, Bowen said, with flagpoles and a piece of the World Trade Center towers still to be installed.

The cemetery donated the space, including 150 gravesites, which will be a section dedicated to Emergency Medical services workers, firefighters and their spouses. Bowen said there is one person already buried in the section.

Other companies and individuals have donated a combined $17,000 to the project, Bowen said.

During one fundraiser, two charter boat captains donated a fishing trip for a raffle. All the departments helped with that fundraiser, and, Bowen added, offered to offset the cost of the trip somehow, by paying for gas or part of the cost of the trip, but the captains told them there was no need - they were donating everything.

Three firefighters will be memorialized as having died in the line of action, Bowen said. Until recently, fire stations, countywide, did their own memorials, but Bowen said a com-bined ceremony and the memorial is “a heartfelt thing that I though was appropriate.”

The memorial will be unveiled at the third annual Fallen Firefighter's Memorial Service on May 19 at 10 a.m. The ser-vice and dedication will be at Chesapeake Highlands Memo-rial Gardens on Broomes Island Road in Port Republic.

EVENTS AND HAPPENINGS

At the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Breakfast on Monday, House of Delegates Minority Leader (and candidate for the 5th Congres-sional District seat) Tony O'Donnell presented a bud-get chart to the audience showing that the so called “Doomsday Budget”, receiving lots of media cover-age, is actually 2 percent larger than last year’s state budget, a press release from the Calvert County Re-publican Central Committee states.

This “Doomsday Budget” requires no tax in-crease and does not transfer teacher's pensions to Calvert and other counties. O’Donnell’s Republican colleague Mark Fisher also spoke in favor of the “Doomsday Budget” instead of the larger budget in-crease that Democratic leaders want to enact.

Interestingly Democrat State Senator Roy Dy-son chimed in, saying that he voted in favor of the “Doomsday Budget" because it reflected his constitu-ents desire to keep a lid on spending. That left State Senate President Mike Miller as the only legislator present who opposes the “Doomsday Budget” and wants a Special Session of the General Assembly to raise taxes to support a larger annual budget increase and approve the transfer of teacher's pensions.

Remember that when Governor O'Malley calls the General Assembly into a Special Session, as he almost certainly will do, it will be for the primary purpose of raising taxes to pay for a bigger than 2 per-cent increase in Maryland's state budget and to begin transferring teacher's pension costs to counties, the release states.

So Called ‘Doomsday Budget’ is Bigger Than Last YearBy Corrin M. Howe

Tuesday morning Eric Roshaun Scriber, 29, went on trial for allegedly stabbing two men at Calypso Crab House on Solomons Island back in October 2010.

Deputy State’s Attorney Frances Longwell told 12 jurors and two alternates the case is straight forward. Victim Terry E. Bailey, 28, was celebrating his sister’s birthday that night. A verbal confrontation broke out, he felt a poke in his stomach and the suspect fled. The Calvert County Sheriff investigation developed a suspect, who Bailey and another witness later identified as Scriber.

Defense Attorney James N. Papirmeister’s opening com-ments indicated the state’s case is not “as cut and dry as they will lead you to believe.” He asked the jury to pay attention and discover that no witness will state they saw the knife or anything that resembled a stabbing on the night in question.

According to charging documents, Calvert Sheriff depu-ties responded to a call at the bar and found Bailey holding his abdomen with a “large amount of blood” on his pants. He was transported to Prince George’s Shock Trauma Center for life-saving surgery. The second victim, Terry Leroy Dobbins, 56, received a minor puncture in his leg.

The suspect had fled the bar, but investigating officers had a description within two hours of the stabbing. Over the next three successive days, officers collected descriptions, showed a photo lineup and received confirmation from both victims identifying Scriber.

The court indicted the Loveville resident on Dec. 20, 2010 for attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.

During jury selection, as one potential juror was taking

his seat in the box, he asked if it would be an issue that his adult son was already sitting in the box as a juror. Clagett pointed out that none of the attorneys had her ask that ques-tion as a potential disqualifier. After mentioning that never in his 26 years of practice did he have the situation come up, the defense attorney exercised one of his “strikes” to remove the father from the panel.

After jurors were selected for the trial Monday after-noon, Judge Marjorie L. Clagett told them she suspects the trial may last until the end of the week. The jury was dis-missed and the judge and attorneys worked through several motions.

One topic garnering considerable discussion was wheth-er or not one of the victim’s prior convictions could be used as character evidence against them. Clagett ruled the prior conviction was “not probative” to the current case.

Another motion led to debate of whether or not the origi-nal prosecuting attorney, Frances Longwell, could be called to the stand as a defense witness. Since the state’s attorney’s office stipulated they would not introduce into evidence the photo lineup, Clagett upheld a previous motion to “squash the subpoena.” However, the judge agreed that if the defense attorney is able to open the door, she would reconsider the motion.

The state plans to call an expert on cell phone usage and cell phone tower reports to the stand during the trial.

Clagett denied the state’s April 20 request to revoke Scriber’s bond for recent arrests and indictments by the Vice Narcotics Detectives for Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute and Conspirary.

“He’s here now and he’ll be here tomorrow,” Clagett ges-tured to Scriber, who nodded.

The Rotary Club of Prince Frederick recently presented a check for $749 to SMILE in Lusby to support its ongoing food pantry. Each year Rotary clubs throughout the United States hold special campaigns to assist those needing food. SMILE has been the local recipient for the past several years for funds raised by the Prince Frederick club.

Over the past 20 years, members of the Ro-tary Club have also provided two meals a month for residents of Project ECHO, Calvert County’s homeless shelter, resulting in over 28,000 resi-dent-meals. “I am amazed to think of the impact

this effort has achieved,” commented Martha Canfield, Club President said in a press release. “And this from a club that has averaged only 15-20 members during these years,” she added.

In addition, several volunteers from Rotary have joined members of other service clubs in providing tax return preparation services to cli-ents of the End Hunger in Calvert Food Bank in Huntingtown.

The Rotary Club of Prince Frederick meets every Monday at Stoney’s in Prince Frederick. For further information, contact Dave Elkinton at 410-535-6139.

Instead of leaving prom dresses that have only been worn once in gar-ment bags in the backs of closets, the Plum Point Elementary’s Relay for Life group is encouraging residents to bring dresses to the school for the first ever PROM-ise Boutique.

Plum Point fourth grade teacher and PROM-ise coordinator Tracey Vernon said they have collected 50 dresses so far.

“Some still have tags on them, brand new,” Vernon said.

Vernon said she and co-coordi-nator Gail Brown, a member of the Plum Point custodial staff, thought of the boutique when they were talking about how expensive it is for girls to go to prom, and that the cost prohibits some young women from attending. That is when they started thinking about having the boutique to help give girls a cost-efficient way to pre-pare for prom.

She doesn’t remember how the topic came up. “We just get on these things,” Vernon said. But in the three weeks since the idea for the boutique was born, they have gotten dresses and a lot of support from the

community.“You ask and just are amazed at

what you get,” Vernon said.There will be one dress per cus-

tomer, Vernon said. There is no fixed price for any of the dresses, but there will be a jar to collect donations for Relay for Life.

There will be changing rooms and mirrors set up for the girls, and Vernon said they will dim the lights and try to give the gym a prom-like feel so the girls can imagine how they will look on prom night. There will be dresses for all sizes, Vernon said, adding she and Brown might purchase some additional plus-sized dresses to expand the selection.

“It’s just a bonus if we make anything for Relay for life,” Vernon said.

The PROM-ise Boutique will be in the Plum Point Elementary gym on April 27 6 to 9 p.m. Come out to shop for a gently used or new gown, shoes and accessories.

The school is still accepting dress, shoe and accessory dona-tions. For more information, contact Plum Point Elementary School at 410-535-7390.

Making Prom Dresses Affordable

Sailing Association Welcomes Everyone

The opening of the Tiki Bar wasn’t the only event on Solomons Island last weekend. The Southern Maryland Sailing Association held its second Nautical Flea Market at the clubhouse on Solomons.

Past Commodore Frank Gerred said this year’s flea market wasn’t as successful as last year’s event, but it was still a good chance for individu-als to clear out items they no longer want or need. Instead of being an annual event, Gerred said, the flea market may be held as needed.

The association welcomes anybody with an interest in sailing, he said, and owning a boat is not a prerequisite.

“A lot of members don’t have boats, they sail with someone else,” Gerred explained.

Currently, the club has 110 members ranging from the age of five, when children can start tak-ing classes, and up. There are family memberships, children’s memberships and even memberships specifically for young adults.

In addition to sailing, members have gone on ski trips, hockey games and even on a 100-mile bike trip together, according to member Kristi Yurko.

“It’s not just about sailing,” she said. For more information, visit the sailing association physically at 14490 Solomons Island Road in

Solomons or on the Internet at www.smsa.com.

Judge Warren J. Krug said, according to his wife, “constitutionally, I’m senile.”

Having turned 70 years old on March 28 this year, the state of Maryland said he must retire. However, he received ap-proval from the Maryland Chief Judge to continue to work as a retired judge at least three days through September.

After that, he would like to continue to fill in as a judge and handle mediations, he shared with The Calvert Gazette, add-ing he’d also like to do some traveling be-fore he can no longer do so.

Krug said he was gratified to help Calvert County citizens during his nearly 19 years of service as a judge and espe-cially enjoyed working with cases involv-ing children.

In a program called Children In Need of Assistance, he would work with law-yers and the Department of Social Ser-vices to help parents in danger of losing their children for abuse or neglect. When that proved impossible, the next step was to place the child into a more suitable per-manent environment.

Helping children seemed to be a common theme in Krug’s recap of his ca-reer. It was cases involving child custody that kept him up at night, he said.

He sat for 15 years on the board for German Orphan’s Home in Washington, D.C. When the home first opened in the 1800’s, it was for German Orphans. By the time he started working with the orga-nization, by way of a former client of his, the Home was used by the Department of Social Services. He also volunteered a number of years in lower elementary grades at Calvert Elementary School.

These days he has two adult children and a “grand cat.”

Prior to becoming a judge, Krug worked as an auditor for the Internal Rev-enue Service assigned to the Calvert area. Then a local firm hired him to handle es-tates and real estate.

“I enjoyed working with people in writing wills, then after the death of a loved one. I enjoyed working with people going through the exciting time when

buying a house.”He said his high school yearbook said

he planned to be an engineer or lawyer.“Physics killed me. Science was not a

good subject for me.” He started off pursuing a degree in

political science, but after a friend invited him to sit through a class at the University of Maryland law school, he promptly ap-plied to law school.

Becoming a judge “was the next step in a legal career.”

His law partner suggested he apply for the judge position eventually filled by Judge Stephen L. Clagett, though Krug received a subsequent appointment to a vacated position.

During his career, he has presided over about a dozen murder trials, many civil trials, but said the majority of trials were drug-related.

He said he only has anecdotal evi-dence that the drug caseload has increased over the years, moving into the escalating illegal use of prescription drugs.

Krug said one of the most memora-ble cases involved a defendant who didn’t like his five-year sentence and jumped through the courthouse window “hand cuffed and shackled.” The drop, a little more than one story, caused the defen-dant to break both his ankles and suffer internal injuries. The defendant survived and there are now bars on the courtroom windows.

The judge is also a sports fan, still attending half the Washington National’s baseball games in person. “I’m lucky my wife is a baseball fan too,” he said.

He held season tickets for the Red-skins for 40 years, having purchased them after graduating from George Washing-ton University. However, he said nowa-days, he enjoys watching from home.

With retirement on the horizon, Krug said he purchased a camera a few years back and would like to learn more about landscape and nature photography. He also said that he and his wife, Mary, have a joint “Honey Do List” which is currently centered around remodeling their house.

You probably don’t remember what the weather was like on Feb. 10, 2011, but Dennis Fleming of Mechanicsville can tell you. At 7 a.m. the temperature was in the mid 30s and the winds were from the north northeast at a little over 15 knots.

Kevin Gladhill and his friends, Mi-chael Krall and Russell Neff, departed Boonsboro, Md. in the very early hours of the morning towing Gladhill’s 21-foot boat. They arrived at Chesapeake Beach at 5 a.m. and launched to run south to the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant out-flow for catch and release striper fishing. All three wore life jackets for the long run to the power plant. By 6:30 a.m. they were drifting through the outflow jigging for big stripers. Conditions were good, but deteriorating with a light northwest wind becoming stronger and turning more to the northeast. They had made this trip several times before and Gladhill had every confidence in his boat in these conditions. By 7:30 a.m., Gladhill knew that conditions were getting worse and that he would soon have to head back to Chesapeake Beach.

At about the same time, Fleming and his co-worker, Terry Warhurst of Upper Marlboro also decided to take a trip to the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant for some catch and release striper fishing.

At the time, Fleming kept his 21 foot boat at a slip in Flag Harbor just three miles north of the power plant and, al-though he was skeptical about the north-east wind, decided to head south to give it a look. They broke skim ice as they left the harbor at 7:30 a.m., and Fleming promised his guest that if conditions were too sloppy then he would scuttle the trip and return to the harbor.

As expected, they arrived to find an aggressive flow at the power plant dis-charge. The outflow normally creates moderately rough conditions, but the northeast wind amplified the conditions and created 5-foot standing waves. The best striper fishing is right in the rough water, and Fleming had seen worse. There were a couple of other small boats working the area, so he felt that it would be possible to fish for a while. He worked his boat through a couple of drifts to avoid the roughest conditions. They hooked two decent fish before stopping to consider returning to Flag Harbor.

As he assessed conditions Flem-ing saw Gladhill’s boat drift through the roughest area and noticed that the boat was listing to one side. Then, within sec-onds, the boat capsized with nothing but the bow sticking out of the water, putting Gladhill and his crew in the 38-degree drink. There was mayhem just 100 yards from Fleming and in the roughest part of the power plant outflow.

Fleming, shaken by his own total fear of cold water, made a mayday call on his

VHF. The Coast Guard responded imme-diately. They wanted GPS coordinates, but there was no time for that. Fleming reaffirmed that they were at the discharge of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant and immediately proceeded to the sinking boat to offer assistance.

Risking that a similar condition could sink his boat, Fleming pulled along-side the sinking boat. Gladhill, Krall and Neff had managed to grab onto the bow of their boat bottom by standing on the bow rail that was now three feet under water. Fleming tried to keep his distance in the rough conditions so that the boats didn’t bang together over the men in the water. He encouraged them to swim to his boat, but they wouldn’t let go of their hold on the sinking boat. He pulled closer and en-couraged them to reach over and grab his bow rail, which they did. Then he worked with each one to move them to the stern of his boat to board by way of the swim platform. With all their strength, Flem-ing and Warhurst pulled the three men aboard. Safely on Fleming’s boat, they huddled on the deck to retain what was left of their body heat. Fearing hypother-mia in the victims, Fleming immediately motored to Flag Harbor Marina where they were met by an ambulance that

transported the three rescued victims to Calvert Memorial Hospital for treatment of hypothermia.

For their courage in this action, Fleming and Warhurst received an award from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commis-sion in December. This commission is chartered to recognize civilian heroism in the United States and Canada.

Kevin Gladhill said, “I told Dennis afterward, ‘You stepped up, sprang into action and performed flawlessly.” Flem-ing would like to think that he was just doing what a fellow boater might do for him if the situation were reversed.

Captain Dennis Fleming is a li-censed guide who operates the Fish-amajig Guide Service (www.fishama-jigguideservice.com) part time, while working fulltime as an environmental resources administrator for the Charles County government. Nothing in his years of boating experiences compares to the events that transpired on Feb. 10, 2011. Terry Warhurst is a supervisor at the Charles County landfill.

Gym Focuses on Patients with Medical NeedsBy Corrin M. HoweStaff Writer

A Medically Oriented Gym (MOG) looks like a regu-lar fitness facility with treadmills, elliptical machines, free weights and weight machines; however, it services the needs of members with medical challenges, according to Bonnie Gateau, owner of the California MOG.

Her manager, Ellie Sweum, said there is evidence to support that patients with medical challenges feel over-whelmed walking into a regular gym.

“It’s not that they don’t want to exercise, but they aren’t comfortable in the setting or there is no supervision.”

Potential members of the gym could be those diag-nosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, recovering from cancer, injuries or obesity.

“What sets an MOG apart is we have degreed profes-sionals. We have physical therapists, physical therapy assis-tants, and exercise physiologists,” said Gateau.

A new member receives a comprehensive assessment and a fitness program based upon their limitations and goals. They are reassessed every 90 days.

“It’s not a cookbook program,” said Sweum. “All popu-lations (medically challenged or not) benefit from exercise.”

Members are set up on a program and have one-to-one support until they are comfortable with exercising on their own. Furthermore, Gateau said they offer “Red Flag As-sessments”. If a member becomes sore or hurt during an ex-ercise program, he can ask to see a physical therapist, who will see if there is something in the member’s routine that needs to be changed.

The gym has an “elaborate print-out” which members

can take to their physicians to provide nutritional and activ-ity guidelines.

Gateau said the goal is not to have the members work-ing out so hard that they can’t get out of the bed the next day.

While connected to Gateau Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine clinic, the gym is not exclusively for pa-tients with medical conditions. Sweum said they want to have a positive impact on the community. A person does not have to be a member to participate in some of the yoga,

Tai Chi, Will Power and Grace or monthly educational presentations.

Likewise, anyone can come in and pay the daily fee of $12 to exercise, take a class or attend a presentation. On Satur-days, the community is welcome to come in from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. to receive a free blood pressure, BMI or body fat screening.

Gateau is from Calvert County and opened her practice in Lusby 1987. She had a second clinic in Lexington Park, but de-cided to look for more space knowing she was interested in the Medically Oriented Gym concept.

Physical Therapist Russell Certo came up with the concept in 2005 and be-gan sharing it at the national conferences. Gateau heard his presentation and took Sweum to tour his Grand Island, NJ facil-ity two years ago.

The MOG is a co-op, and so far, Ga-teau is the only one to open one is Mary-land. Her location opened November 2011. She and Sweum are marketing the gym

to area physicians specializing in endocrinology, cardiol-ogy and family practice. Business is picking up because of word-of-mouth and her physical therapy patients.

“Half the population can benefit from exercise,” said Sweum, who said exercise improves health across the board to include bone density, BMI, weight and endurance.

Little by little, two students add weights to the bucket hanging under the bridge they have built – a foot-long wooden structure. They take a small weight, put it in the bucket and step back to see if the bridge will accept the additional burden. A judge steps forward to measure the bowing of the creaking structure. Another weight is added, and the bridge breaks.

Officials collect the weights from the bucket to find out how much weight the bridge took before it broke, adding the number to the growing list of tested entries for the regional Mathematics Engineering Science Achieve-ment (MESA) challenge.

Students from all over the county brought their bridges, windmills and computer pro-grams to the regional challenge. The bridge was just one of four challenges set before MESA students.

Five schools will be sending students to the state MESA challenge on May 7. Overall winners are Mt. Harmony Elementary School, Southern Middle School and Calvert High School. Winners in the Wind Energy Challenge are Northern Middle School and Northern High School. The Wind Energy Challenge winners will also have a chance to move on to the state competition.

Teacher Specialist in Instruction and MESA coordinator Bridget Kluwin said chal-lenges varied little from grade to grade.

The four challenges for elementary stu-dents in Grades 4 and 5 were the bridge, ef-fective communications, Scratch (a computer language competition), and Story Book Theme Park Ride in which the students demonstrate a

machine that they have made based on the book that they read. Middle and High school chal-lenges were the bridge, effective communica-tions, and the Wind Energy Challenge. Middle schools had a game design competition with Alice and high school students had a program-ming challenge using Python.

Kluwin said they begin looking for spon-sors in August. MESA’s partner is the Applied Physics Lab (APL) of Johns Hopkins Univer-sity. She said a work group of scientists at APL have been volunteering their time and created the Alice and Python Challenges.

By competing in MESA, students are set-ting themselves up to succeed in a wide variety of marketable sills, Kluwin said. Many of the challenges will have practical applications in the real world, she said.

Students at the challenge showed they not only know how to build their structures, but how they work. Northern Middle School students Sam Pinales, Max Pinales and Zack-ary Sims have a structure for the Wind Energy challenge that was only 890 grams and based on the pyramids in Egypt, Sims said. He said the structure was sturdy, and strong enough to pull 25 pounds 250 centimeters in 21 seconds by converting wind into torque.

They knew what they were doing – the three boys were one of two winners for the regional Wind Energy Challenge and are now preparing for the state competition.

Some structures created by the students were impressively strong. Tom Kluwin, one of the officials helping with the bridge test, said there was one bridge that took 60 pounds, 9,000 times the weight of the bridge itself.

Homeschool Academy Welcomes Newcomers


Between young actors and singing sci-entists, it’s getting to be a busy time of year for the teachers and students at the Home-school Christian Acad-emy (HCA) as they prepare for their annual open house.

HCA was started in 2005 and became a formal non-profit or-ganization in 2007. Di-rector Sallie Segesdy said the program began with art and physical education at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church. Since then, it has grown to include language arts, science, drama, music and other core curricu-lum classes such as social studies and history.

“It’s like a school experience for one day a week,” Segesdy said.The drama classes will be showing off the culmination of a year of work

during the open house. Drama is split into two age groups – Drama 1 with fifth through seventh grade sudents and Drama 2 with eighth through 12th grade stu-dents. Drama 1 will be performing “Ukrainiacs” by Patrick Rainville Dorn on April 27. Drama 2’s performance of “Fear Factory” by Pat Cook will be April 28 at 2 and 5:30 p.m.

“It’s a very funny play,” Segesdy said. “Very clever and a little creepy.”There will also be performances by HCA’s music and band programs, as well

as a demonstration by the singing scientists, said Open House Coordinator Fiona Randle.

HCA student Carole Weller said she enjoys being involved in the academy and the performance of “Fear Factory.” Drama is something she enjoys being involved in, and would be difficult to do at home, she said.

Students come out Thursday mornings and can either stay for specific courses or for the full day, with study halls and a lunch break to fill out the day.

“It has filled a need in the homeschool community,” said history and high school government teacher Charlotte Long.

Classes are generally smaller than those in public schools. In its first year, HCA had 35 students, in its second year there were 70 and Segesdy said there has consistently been 90 students at the school. She said while they lose several students every year, due to graduations, families moving out of the area or other reasons, the school also has a constant flow of new students.

Teachers decide their class sizes, Segesdy said, and band and drama classes are typically larger. Some of the classes also fill up quickly. Drama, writing and science courses often have a waiting list.

Drama teacher Crystal Rapp said she enjoys working with HCA.“I love HCA. It has been such a blessing to so many families,” she said.The students also enjoy their time at HCA. High schooler Clay King said HCA

gives homeschooled kids a chance to socialize like they would at a public school. Freshman Paul Munday said another similarity between HCA and public school is the homework they get. Instead of getting it every night, students get a weeks worth of homework every Thursday, keeping them just as busy as every other student.

As the school evolves and grows, so does the administrative staff. Segesdy said they have added a registrar and a webmaster to their numbers, and soon the school will be looking for a new director as Segesdy plans to step down from the position.

HCA can be used to supplement the learning done at home, Segesdy said, and some parents also use the same curriculum as the school. It depends on the parents what role HCA will play in their children’s education.

The open house will be April 27 at SAYSF Bible Church located at 46544 Rue Purchase Road in Lexington Park. Plays start April 27 at 5:30 p.m. with the Drama 1 production of “Ucrainiacs.” “Fear Factory” will be performed at April 28 at 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Students Show Off Engineering Skills

3,500 Pop Tabs and CountingBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Aluminum can pop tabs. They barely weigh anything and they’re the last barrier between an individual and their favorite beverage. But that tiniest component of a soda can has helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars and more for the Ronald McDonald House.

Students in the Calvert High School Key Club are get-ting involved in collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDon-ald House Charities. So far, the students have collected more than 3,500 tabs, nearly two for each of the 1,300 Calvert High School Students, and the Key Club President, junior Rachel

Carroll, expects to bring in even more before the drive ends on May 16.

According to the Ronald McDonald Charities website, www.rmhc.org, “Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and know they are making a difference for families and children.”

Carroll said the school’s response has been great, with students and teachers collecting pop tabs from home and dropping them in collection boxes throughout the school.

Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about

philanthropy and the importance of recycling, while raising funds to help children and their families at the same time, the Ronald McDonald house states, and the Ronald McDonald House Upper Midwest Chapter alone raises approximately $30,000 a year through their pop tab program.

Collecting and donating the pop tabs is an awesome way for students to give back to the community, Carroll said. She said she has been in the Key Club since her freshman year and has been involved in the yearly pop tab drives since then.

For more information, including where to drop off pop tabs, contact Calvert High School at 410-535-7330.

Rock-N-Roll for Rescues was a Success

It’s Spring! There is a feeling of re-newal as the leaves appear and we look at the world around us changing before our eyes. I pay more attention to how much rain we are getting and whether it is enough for our precious plants to grow and thrive and for our farm businesses to succeed.

I am also struck by a dichotomy in our culture. On the one hand, everywhere we turn we read and hear about “green.” We hear about “green” buildings. We hear about carbon emissions and the need to be carbon neutral. We hear about ris-ing oceans and temperature changes. We are encouraged to care for our environ-ment in a multitude of ways. As Earth Day approaches, we are invited to help clean up our environment from past abuses. A lot of this environmentalism just makes common sense, deriving from the ethic to leave the world better than we found it.

Starting from this rather simple command to love the earth that supports us as a life-giving source, our government at all levels passes laws, rules, and regulations requiring us to behave in ways that further admirable environmental goals. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the federal level has assumed responsibility for the clean-up of the Chesapeake Bay through Watershed Improvement Plans (WIPs), pollution diets, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) of pollutants, creating a whole new language of acronyms with very expensive outcomes for the taxpayer from the local municipal and county level straight up to the federal level.

In Maryland, in recent years, strict state laws have been passed requiring costly storm water management plans, not just on new devel-opment, making any new construction harder to design and finance, but also requiring retrofits for older communities, governmental buildings, roads, and even parks. The money to pay for these improvements has to come from you.

If you tune into County Commissioner meetings on Comcast or on the Internet, you will see many presentations and discussions about what we are required to do, whether or not the requirements are scien-tifically based, how we are going to pay to meet the requirements, and what the consequences will be for failure to meet the requirements. I worry that the science behind some of the rulings is flawed, at least on a County level. I am told that the science is more accurate on a watershed level which crosses jurisdictional lines. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is fining local governments, businesses, and even property owners for violations of the plethora of rules and laws, even if inadvertent or unavoidable, since the state’s position is that ALL pollution is avoidable.

Yes, I am pro-environment. Yes, I know we, as a society, have to start somewhere to reverse the damage. Yet, when I hear that one or two huge sewage spills in the Baltimore area overwhelmed all our efforts for the previous year, it is hard not to get disheartened. In an economy where folks are struggling just to survive, it is hard to find the tax money to pay for all these beneficial efforts.

The duality that I mentioned earlier, is that while we struggle with all the ethical, fiscal and legal issues that I just enumerated, more of our citizens are littering, throwing trash out of their cars, failing to recycle cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, metal, oil, and other items at our conve-nience centers and landfill, requiring precious resources to be diverted from the larger “green” efforts in order to pick up after those who show disrespect for the beautiful landscape we call Calvert. It feels as though while we are all sacrificing through our tax dollars to give our environ-ment a helping hand, a significant number of us are rebelling against this ethic by littering and polluting at every opportunity.

More information and education will be available at the Green Expo on Saturday, April 28th from 10-5 at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center on Dowell Road just north of Solomons, MD. Please go to the County website at www.co.cal.md.us for more details.

April Showers Bring May Flowers … And PlantsBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Spring is here, and with it comes multiple plant sales throughout Southern Maryland.

This weekend, the Sot-terley Plantation’s gardening guild will have their 14th An-nual Plant Sale in conjunction with the Free Plant Exchange. This year, Sotterley’s event will be open an additional day – from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. April 28, and from 12-3 p.m. April 29.

The Free Plant Exchange will run on Saturday only from 10-12 p.m. Individuals are welcome to bring plants to exchange for other available annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables, shrubs, trees, bulbs and seeds.

Sotterley Gardening Guild Member Daphne McGuire said the guild has never been able to get an accurate count of people coming out due to the sheer number of them.

“We’re mobbed,” McGuire said.She said the attendees are a mix of new faces and re-

turning customers. Available plants come from the Sotter-ley Gardens as well as the personal gardens of the guild members.

She said they have been running the Plant Sale at the same time as the Free Plant Exchange for years and it works well because people cross over from one to the other, and individuals coming for the plant swap often stop to shop as well.

Among the plants for sale are divisions from Sotter-ley’s peony plants, which are between 80 and 100 years old.

Sotterley’s plant sale will be held rain or shine. Mc-Guire said it rained during last year’s sale, and it was one of the best turnouts they ever had.

“Rain doesn’t keep the gardeners away,” McGuire said.

For more information about Sotterley and the An-nual Plant Sale, visit www.sotterley.org.

On May 5, the Calvert County Master Gardeners will be having their own plant sale from 8-12 p.m. at 30 Duke Street in Prince Fred-erick, across from the Prince Frederick Post Office. The plant sale is in the parking lot behind the building.

Master Gardener Judy Kay said plants offered are both native and non-native, and come from the Master Gardener’s yards. She said they also offer organically

grown vegetables and herbs.In addition to selling plants, the Master Gardeners

will be offering informative workshops, beginning at 9 a.m. with a Salad Box demonstration. There will also be a Grow It and Eat It lecture at 10 a.m. and a composting dem-onstration at 11 a.m. Gardeners will also be on hand to help answer questions about specific yard needs and what will grow best in different soil compositions. There will also be information about the Bay Wise Yard Certification, which aims to increase nutrient runoff awareness and help trouble spots in an individual’s yard.

To get children involved as well, the gardeners will be helping kids plant seeds in pots to take home and grow.

Kay said between 130 and 150 people attend the plant sale, and most stay for a demonstration or a lecture.

Individuals are welcome to bring in used pots, and the gardeners will provide ribbon and foil to help make moth-ers day gifts. Kay said they will also be selling salad boxes for $20.

The Saturday forecast was for 10 – 15 knot winds in advance of a front headed our way that was predicted to produce storms and rain. A lot of small boat an-glers decided that conditions were border-line for a successful excursion into striper territory for the opening day of the Tro-phy Season. David Novak’s 19 foot boat needed better conditions than that, so on Friday evening he decided to give it a few days and wait for better weather. He was disappointed.

In spite of his scrubbed plans, Novak awoke at 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning and checked the weather. He couldn’t believe the great conditions and he had to give it a shot. He hooked up the boat, collected the appropriate tackle, and headed to the ramp on the Potomac River. He launched and motored toward the main channel. When he got to an area where the water was 30’ deep, he began to deploy four trolling rods – optimistic that he would catch his first striper on his new boat.

At 7:40 a.m. one of the rods hooked up. It was a big fish! He fought it to the boat and landed it by himself. The fish measured 40 ½ inches and weighed 25 lbs. Good job David!

The opening day of the Trophy Rock-fish Season started this way for a lot of an-glers. The fish seemed to be everywhere and many folks finished their days early, well in advance of the nasty weather. Many of the anglers who finished early stopped by The Tackle Box with their catch. Fifty or so fish were seen at the shop, including one trophy that was caught from the beach at Hog Point! Most of the fish brought to The Tackle Box were in the 32 – 37 inch range, and only two were in excess of 40 inches. Terms like “wide open,” “jumping in the boat” and “plenty of fish” were used

to describe the action.Mike and Christy Henderson posted

pictures on their website (www.buzzsma-rina.com) of over 80 trophy stripers on Saturday, and they continue to post pic-tures of big fish caught since then.

Opposite stories were told by those plying the waters for croaker last week. The guess is that the different weather conditions last week caused the croaker to move on. They simply couldn’t be found last week near the beaches or in deeper waters. Don’t worry, it is only April! You can bet that the hardhead will return.

Steve Helmrich picked a day last week to head over to the Honga River on the Eastern Shore where he caught speck-led sea trout for his dinner table. I think he’s got the knack!

Other anglers are beginning to find good catches of white perch in the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers along the shoreline, and deeper on oyster bars and structure.

Local freshwater ponds are produc-ing good catches of crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass.

Saturday was the new moon. This means that the first molt for crabs is begin-ning to wane and crabbing should become more productive this week.

I hope your boats are ready because it is time to supplement your diet with some good seafood! The fishing season has cer-tainly gotten off to a great start as we look forward to May’s arrival next week!

Remember to take a picture of your catch and send me your story at [email protected].

Keith has been a recreational angler on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries for over 50 years; he fishes weekly from his small boat during the season, and spends his free time supporting local con-servation organizations.
