Some New Items!

Governor Larry Hogan today an-nounced that most Maryland busi-nesses will see a signicant reductionin unemployment insurance taxes, thelowest possible rates allowed understate law, beginning in the First Quar-ter of 2016. Maryland employers willnow pay between $25.50 and $127.50less per employee per year than whatis paid by businesses under the cur-rent rate.

“Our administration is committedto making it easier for citizens andcompanies to do business in Mary-land. Earlier this year, we eliminated100 fees across state government,

and we are streamlining processes ingovernment agencies, cutting out bu-reaucracy and working to identify andeliminate unnecessary regulationsthat harm small businesses and employers,” said Governor Hogan. “Dueto the strong growth of the Unem- ployment Insurance Trust Fund, weare pleased to be able to let businessowners know that the cost of unemployment insurance in Maryland will be reduced. This is a real win for ou r business community and the state as

a whole.”Due to the fact that most Maryland

employers pay the minimum tax rate,many companies will experience a 50 percent reduct ion in unemploymentinsurance from $51 to $25.50 per employee per year.

"The unemployment tax rate reduc-tion is a sign of Maryland's improv-ing business climate that will allowemployers the opportunity to thriveand create jobs as we work togetherto strengthen our economy," said Sec-retary of the Department of Labor,Licensing and Regulation Kelly M.Schulz.

Since Jan. 1, Maryland's Unem- ployment Insu rance Trust Fund hasgrown by more than $125 million to$983,656,790.26, as of Sept. 30. Year-on-year, the trust fund balance hasgrown by almost $80 million.

This high balance tr iggers a key ratechange for 2016, shifting all Marylandemployers to “Table A,” or a range ofunemployment insurance tax rates between 0.3 percent and 7.5 percentof the rst $8,500 in wages paid toemployees. For 2015, Table B was in

effect with a range of tax rates of 0.6 percent to 9 percent of the rst $8,500in annual wages. The new employer’srate in 2016 will be 2.6 percent. Anexception is that the rate for new con-struction employers headquartered inanother state will be 7.5 percent.

The Maryland UnemploymentInsurance Program is nanced bythe Federal Unemployment Tax Act(FUTA) and is administered by theMaryland Department of Labor, Li-censing and Regulation. As required by Maryland law, the Division ofUnemployment Insurance does anannual “temperature check” on the

Unemployment Insurance (UI) TrustFund. This temperature check is madeusing the ending balance of the TrustFund on Sept. 30. The reconciled end-ing balance is compared to the tax-able wage base for the preceding fourquarters. That ratio determines the UIRate Table for the ensuing calendaryear.

I must confess to being mild-ly mystied by the state depart-ment of education press releasein the October 20 issue statingthat effectiveness ratings forteachers in the state showed“improved precision.”

Perhaps Jack R. Smith or oneof his highly-paid underlingscan explain how it is possible toimprove on precision.

If students in the state are go-ing to be held to an unreason-

ably-high standard as a condi-tion of graduating in 2012, isit unreasonable to expect the

people promoting MarylandCollage and career-Ready Stan-dards to be held to the samelofty standards?

Thomas Joseph Burke, Sr.

January 29, 1925 to November 10, 2014

Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care.Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.

You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do.

So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared, Te days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.

Let memories surround you, a word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,

Tat brings him back as clearly as though he were still here, And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.

For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.

Love, Your Family and Dearest Friends

Safe Harbor is a shelter for abused womenand children. For 25 years they have providedhousing and protection for women who arevictims of domestic violence and their minorchildren.

The shelter is located in Prince Frederickin an undisclosed location and holds 23 to 25

beds. The number changes based on familymakeup and the amount of space the groupstake up in their eight residential rooms. Theyhave rooms that can sleep families of ve,three, and two. The average length of stay for aresident is three months, but extensions can be

requested in certain circumstances.In order to be housed at the shelter there hasto be eminent danger of being harmed by anabuser and you must be referred by the CrisisIntervention Center. If you feel you are a vic-tim of domestic abuse and you need the helpfrom the shelter, you can contact their 24-hour

hotline at 410-535-1121.Safe Harbor provides all counseling and

therapy for their residents. They encouragetheir residents to get protective orders and they

provide accompaniment to go to court in orderto obtain it.

They provide local transportation withinPrince Frederick to go to work, counseling,therapy and the like.

The residents qualify for nutritional supportthrough Calvert County DSS so Safe Harborresidents do their own shopping and cook theirfood in the large community kitchen the shel-ter offers. The shelter also provides full bath-rooms and laundry facilities.

Safe Harbor is a very unique organizationin that the employees work for the state andmanage the program, the county owns the

building and provides them all of the serviceand maintenance support for the building andthe community runs the 501(c)(3) Safe Harbor,Inc., which takes donations.

Safe Harbor is in need of monetary dona-tions in order to provide their clients with

services such as $20 gas cards to get to workor security deposits to help them move out oftheir abusive situations.

The shelter does often nd themselves inneed of disposable diapers. At one point thisyear they had 13 children under the age ofseven at one time.

They also need laundry detergent to helpkeep up with the need of the seven washer anddryers they hold. According to David Gale, thedirector of Safe Harbor, food and clothes arenot needed as they are already have resourcesfor this.

“Safe Harbor has been an incredible posi-tive partner and resource for Calvert Countyfor the last 25 years. We did serve 63 womenand children last year and provided them with4,842 bed nights, but every year we are strug-gling with a budget decit…” said Gale.

Gale said they have not seen a raise in theirgrant funds for 12 years and as prices go up,it’s hard to make ends meet, even with the sup-

port of the county.

If you would like to donate, you may con-tact Safe Harbor manager Cindy Dunn at410-257-7225.

Angela Davis, political activist, educator and schol-ar, gave The Margaret Brent Lecture entitled, “RacialJustice, Feminism and the Prison Industrial Com- plex” at St. Mary’s College of Maryland last Thurs-day, Oct. 29.

Davis’ lecture was held at the Michael P. O’BrienAthletics and Recreation Center Arena at 4 p.m andwas sponsored by the Women, Gender, and Sexual-ity Studies Program, the Ofce of the President, theLecture and Fine Arts Committee and the Center forthe Study of Democracy.

Joe Lucchesi, an associate professor of Art Historyand a member of the Women, Gender, and Sexual-ity Studies program faculty, gave a welcome. Lara-ine Glidden, Acting Provost and Dean of Faculty,followed him with the history of the Margaret BrentLecture Series. Glidden and President Tuajuanda C.Jordan then presented Davis with the Margaret BrentAward.

According to the 2013 Margaret Brent Lecture Se-

ries Program, the series was establish in St. Mary’s in1981 and serves as a way to honor distinguished pub-lic service among women. According to the program,Margaret Brent was an early feminist that provided public service to the colony at St. Mary’s City in 1648.

Previous Margaret Brent Awardees include RosaParks, Toni Morrison, Shirley Chisholm, and PatriciaSchroeder.

After the presentation of the award, Jordan gaveDavis an introduction, calling her, “a woman who played such a vital role in American History.” Da-vis then took the stage with a standing ovation fromthe large crowd of students and the surroundingcommunity.

Davis spoke about mass incarceration rates in cer-tain communities, structural racism, and the social problems it has created. She also spoke about femi-nism in relation to this topic.

She was met with applause when she mentionedthat if all lives matter, it should be unnecessary to in-sist that black lives matter.

the Center for the Study of Democracy.A book signing followed the event.

Freedom Hill Horse Rescue (FHHR)welcomed former rescue horses backto the barn during this year’s (day af-ter) Halloween Show on November 1st.

The event featured almost 20 currentand former rescue horses in costume, plus other riders f rom the area. It was agreat event to illustrate the positive re-sults that rescue organizations have onabused, neglected, and unwanted horsesin our area.

“There is an unfortunate need for

horse rescue services in Maryland andsurrounding states,” shares Kristy Alva-rez, FHHR Executive Director. “It is achallenging effort that can take its toll

on the all-volunteer team at FHHR, andthat is why this event is so much fun.We can see and celebrate the successesof our current and former rescue hors-es, some who only a year ago were inrehabilitation.”

The panel of judges had a most dif-cult task according to Jennifer Purcell,

the event coordinator and FHHR volun-teer. “The costumes were just amazingthis year. The Lone Ranger and Silver,Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Dorothy and

Toto, and Napoleon Dynamite and La-Fawnduh were just a few of the guestswho joined in the fun.” Photos can beviewed on the Freedom Hill Horse Res-cue website at https://www.freedomhill-horserescue.com/halloween-show.html.

The horse and riderscompeted in a pumpkin

toss, a haunted obstacle course, a barrel race and more. They even bobbed foapples. Despite some morning rain, theevent was a huge success. The FHHR

leadership sends a huge thank you to alvolunteers, supporters, and participantsIt really takes a village to run a rescue!

Adopt a Senior Animal Month (Nov.1- Nov. 30)

During the month of November, anyshelter animal 5 years old and over will

be available for a reduced adoption fee.Senior dogs are available for $25 and se-nior cats for $10. There are many ben-ets to adopting an older animal. Senior pets have developed personalit ies so you

can tell if the animal is a good t foryour family. Most older animals are al-ready housebroken and calmer than theiryounger counterparts. Adopt an older,gentler soul today.

Black Fur-Day (Nov. 23-25 and 28)Avoid the midn ight madness on Black

Friday. Instead, come to the Tri-CountyAnimal Shelter to celebrate Black Fur-day throughout the week. Black dogsand cats often take longer to get adopt-ed because their fur can be thought as

plain-looking or they do not appear asfriendly as lighter-colored pets. To dis- prove these myths, we are showcasingour furry friends with a reduced adop-tion fee. For any animal whose coat is 75 percent black, we will reduce the adop-tion fee by 75 percent. Just a reminder,the shelter will be closed on Thursday,

Nov. 26 and Friday, Nov. 27 for theThanksgiving holiday.
