Watermen Enjoy Good Oyster

Season So FarBy Guy LeonardStaff Writer

Local watermen have cause to be thankful, according to Tommy Zinn, president of the Calvert Watermen’s Associa-tion, since this season marks three years in a row of produc-tive oyster harvesting.

“It may not be quite as good as it was last year,” Zinn told The Calvert County Times. “But I’d call it a fair to good season.”

Oysters in Maryland waters have made somewhat of a resur-rgence in the past several years with what appears to be a devel-oping resistance to diseases like MSX and dermo that have deci-mated the populations of the na-tive oyster for the past several decades.

However, warmer waters during the fall at the beginning of the season meant that oysters were only now reaching their best size when waters were

turning cold.Still death rates of oysters

that Zinn and other watermen have observed in Southern Maryland have been low.

“Either the diseases are not has bad as they have been or they [the oysters] are developing a resistance to them,” he said. “We’re not seeing as many dead oysters at all.

“They seem to be holding their own.”

The state’s Department of Natural Resources also recently opened 10 oyster harvest re-serve areas; they were essen-tially meant to allow limited harvesting on a rotating basis after being seeded.

Zinn said that most of those zones being opened helped wa-termen on the Eastern Shore and other areas than the Patux-ent River region but they still amounted to a “shot in the arm.”

The director of the Southern Maryland Veterans Association (SMVA) has officially accused a former employee of stealing money and material from collec-tion stations in Calvert County that was supposed to go towards helping homeless and destiture veterans.

Norman Randolph McDonald, 48, allegedly stole money from the charity between June and December of last year from the Safeway and Wal-Mart in Dunkirk and also the Giant food store in Dunkirk.

According to charging documents written out by Daniel Timothy Brashear, McDonald was employeed as solicitation supervisor for the veterans’ charity.

Brashear alleged that McDonald “embezzled ap-proximately $6,000 in community donated funds by collecting SMVA donation containers from our solici-tors, counting out the funds before the other solicitors and pocketing the funds.

“The defendant then either failed to forward these funds to the proper recipient or mistated and failed to provide reciepts for the amount of donations as re-quired by company policy.”

Though McDonald has been officially charged, re-gional law enforcement has taken notice of the charity.

St. Mary’s County Sheriff Timothy K. Cameron con-firmed that detectives in his agency are investigating a

citizen complaint about a donation made to SMVA.Calls to Brashear seeking comment on this story

were not returned as of press time.Brashear went on to allege in charging papers filed

in the Calvert County District Court that after McDon-ald was terminated several of the solicitors told him of thefts committed by McDonald on a weekly basis.

Brashear also alleged that McDonald “attempted to intimidate the solicitors not to report to me the amounts he collected and retained either through use of physical force, employment threats or false claims of theft being brought against them.”

McDonald is also accused of stealing $4,000 worth of materials used to solicit donations such as signs, do-nation containers, labels and even computers.

McDonald is also a registered sex offender in Mary-land, having been convicted of a third-degree sex of-fense in Prince George’s County back in 2001, accord-ing to the state’s sex offender registry.

“The registrant knew the victim and the victim’s family,” according to the registry. “When the offense occurred the victim was a middle-school aged child.”

McDonald is set for an initial court appearance next month; the two theft counts being pursued against him could net 15 years in prison each if he is convicted of both counts.

Members of the boards of county com-missioners (BOCCs) from Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties met Tuesday in Prince Frederick in an unprecedented ac-tion to discuss the future of the Tri-County Animal Shelter (TCAS).

The board members from each of the counties attended the public hearing to first talk about needed renovations at the TCAS in Hughesville and then share opinions on whether the counties should continue to fund a single shelter, build a new shelter or if each county should construct its own shelter. It was the first time commissioners from the tri-county BOCCs met in a public hearing to discuss a regional issue.

During the meeting, Calvert County An-imal Control Chief Craig Dichter briefed the commissioners on various areas of con-cern at the TCAS including the lack of air conditioning in the 71 dog kennels, needed expansions and additional staff. There was also debate on whether the shelter should shift to a “no-kill” facility. The boards agreed to make a decision within 90 days on how to address the lack of air condition-ing before the summer months.

“Clearly we are at a crossroads with the shelter,” said Calvert County Com-missioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. “Our populations and demographics

have significantly shifted since the shelter opened in the mid-1960s. Now each county has different fee structures and licensing regulations.

“This is the start of a conversation,” Slaughenhoupt added. “We would like to hear more from our citizens before reach-ing our final decision.”

The board members are seeking public input on this issue. To view the public hear-ing in Calvert County, please visit www.co.cal.md.us/jointpublichearing or turn to Comcast channel 6 for listings.

Citizens are encouraged to contact their BOCC, or all BOCCs, in the following manners:·Calvert County at [email protected] or call 410-535-1600 or 301-855-1243, ext. 2202.·Charles County at [email protected] or call 301-645-0550·St. Mary’s County at [email protected]

The Southern Maryland Historic Horse Trail will be one of a network of self-guided trails which are being developed around the state with the support of the Maryland Horse Industry Board to highlight and document the contribution of horses to Maryland’s history, culture and heritage. The first trail, “Horses at the Beach,” launched in early 2015 and features the Eastern Shore.

“The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) is excited to be invited to work on this unique project,” said Christine Bergmark, executive

director, “We hope to raise awareness for Southern Maryland’s growing equine indus-try and celebrate the sites and stories of the region’s rich equine tradition.”

Southern Maryland’s Historic Horse Trail will be featured in a printed a guide book and website highlighting documented equine-related sites and educational opportunities in Calvert, Charles, Prince George›s and St. Mary›s counties which illustrate the historic role of horses in the region’s economy and culture. Historic criteria include transpor-tation, agriculture, recreational riding, fox

hunting, thoroughbred racing, jousting and any other activity associated with horses.

The guide book will be combined with SMADC’s 2016 Southern Maryland Equine Directory of stables and horse farms. To-gether, the Historic Trail and Directory will illustrate the vibrant role of horses in South-ern Maryland’s past and present.

SMADC is also researching additional material and historic equine-related tidbits to further enhance the Trail visitor›s appre-ciation for the significant role horses played in Southern Maryland’s past, such as photos

and memorabilia, stories and anecdotes. Applications for Southern Maryland sites

and illustrative material for the guide are now being accepted. The deadline for sub-missions is Feb. 5. Visit www.SMADC.com click on So. Md. Historic Horse Trail for participation criteria and submission de-tails and to apply for the Southern Maryland Equine Directory.

St. Mary’s County has been informed that plastic bags and plastic film can no longer be recycled with the other single stream recycla-bles currently collected at the six Convenience Centers. Plastic bags (i.e. grocery, tall kitchen, and heavy duty bags) create operational prob-lems, safety concerns, and hazards to the pro-cessor’s equipment, specifically the conveyor belts used in sorting single stream recyclables, as seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIYLnHQ9peM. Loads with plastic bags/plastic film will be considered “contami-nated” and rejected, causing additional fees for the County and zero credit toward its recycling efforts. Until technology catches up with a solu-tion to address this issue, plastic bags and plas-tic film will be banned from the convenience center single stream collection.

Effective immediately, citizens who use plastic bags at home to collect your recyclables should not throw the entire bag into the recycling container. Rather, dump the recyclables out of the bag and dispose of the bag into a collection container located near the recycling containers

at the Convenience Centers. Attendants will be available on-site for any assistance you may need. Please recycle plastic bags at other local vendors (grocery, chain, department stores) or consider reusing them as demonstrated at http://www.wikihow.com/Recycle-Old-Plastic-Bags.

St. Mary’s County is researching user-friend-ly alternatives for the separate collection of plastic bags, evaluating TREX as a recycling possibility, and exploring the feasibility of us-ing other recycling processors. The County ap-preciates those citizens who realize the environ-mental and cost benefits of recycling and trust recycling efforts will continue.

The good news ... St. Mary’s County’s recy-cling rate for 2014 is 44.20% (well above the State mandated 20%) and the County’s over-all waste diversion rate is just over 50%. St. Mary’s currently ranks #3 out of all the compa-rable counties in Maryland with populations of 150,000 or less.

Development Review and Long Range Planning

Commissioner’s Corner

Email in your Engagement Announcement Today!

[email protected]

It’s Free!

While the Calvert County Community Planning and Building organization may receive criticism, such is not isolated to Calvert County. A large reason such oc-curs is because Reviewing Development Proposals, Ideas from the community, and Long Range Planning requires the organization to implement Mary-land State Land Use Laws.

Among the decisions this organization needs to perform is to determine Buildable from Non-Buildable Lots, due largely to safety and environmental reasons. They also need to ensure the accuracy of street/road addresses to support the 911 Control Center to ensure Police, Fire, Res-cue and EMS are able to respond to the proper location.

The skills needed for this organization include advanced professional planning experience required. Credentials are also needed for this organization as individuals need to be American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) as they perform their roles along with supervising and manag-ing various projects and teams. Staff also has the ability to review concepts and plans, interpret, enforce, rewrite and suggest change for county regulations. They also need to understand and implement county’s development objectives.

This organization also supports other organization such as the Calvert County Planning Commission (whose mem-bers are appointed by the Board of County Commission-ers) and Architectural Review Committees (ARC). The ARCs are in the process of phasing out, although not all of them may terminate. This process will take years to implement.

To support applicants in their processing of applica-tions through various review committees and the Planning Commission, advanced professional planning experience and AICP certifications are also required. AICP staff also are required for residential/housing development reviews, to review Subdivisions (Lot Configuration, Adequate Roads, Utilities, Drainage, and Recreation) as well as well versed in and able to review commercial site plans.

Long Range Planning, consistent with Maryland State Land Use laws includes developing Sign Regulations and other County plans and ordinances; periodic rewrite of Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance Rewrite Town Center Master Plans and Zoning Ordinances. A ma-jor project underway within Calvert County is the devel-opment of the Armory Square project to bring a permanent Community Center, mixed residential, green/walkable space and upscale commercial/retail.

Long Range Planners assist with developing the county Water and Sewer Plan. They also need to adhere to Fed-eral/State Regulations/State Land Use Laws to plan for Transportation needs and improvements.

Finally, they implement State Land Use Laws such as the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) which exists to ensure sufficient services such as roads and schools can accommodate increased residential housing. Staff also prepares Adequate Public Facilities reports and other reports to support all this activity.

If you have lived in Calvert County for any amount of time, you have probably heard PSA announcements or seen flyers throughout the county for Calvert Hospice’s Bereavement programs for children: Camp Phoenix and Bridges. But unless you have suffered a loss in your family, you may not know much about either one. The new session of Bridges starts on Feb. 25, and we thought it was time to tell you a little bit about it.

What is Bridges? Bridges is a grief support group for children and

adults that runs for eight consecutive Thursdays. Chil-dren are placed in age-appropriate groups, and adults have a group of their own that meets at the same time. While children spend time learning different coping skills and learning how to connect with each other through shared grief, adults learn techniques for deal-ing with grieving children and coping skills for their own grief. They form new friendships with other par-ticipants who are in the same situation and gain access to several helpful grief resources.

The children’s groups use creative outlets and vari-ous techniques to explore grief and teach coping skills. Facilitators lead activities in arts and crafts, play games with the children, encourage children to share stories of their loved one, and provide much needed play time. There is a special Volcano Room filled with balls, hula hoops, and other items that help kids blow off excess steam and work off some of the energy they build up in group. The children have the opportunity to form new

friendships with other kids who understand what they are going through – something that is hard to find in most social settings.

Who can participate? We have groups for children ages 6 to 17. Adult fam-

ily members attend with their children. Losses do not have to be recent; we understand that each person’s grief journey is unique. However, the group is specifi-cally targeted to those with children. We offer many other grief support groups in the community for adults only.

How do I apply? You can download the Bridges Application and As-

sessment on our website: calverthospcie.org. Our Be-reavement Coordinator, Melinda Ruppert, will review the application and meet with you to determine whether the program is a good fit for you. Applications for the next session must be in by Feb. 15. We do ask that you commit to coming to the group each week. Weekly at-tendance strengthens the bond between participants and provides you with the help you need.

If you would like more information about Bridges or our other Bereavement Programs, call Melinda Ruppert at 410-535-0892 ext. 2201, email [email protected], or visit the Children’s Programs page under the Grief Services tab of our website.

Elsie Mae Robinson, 76Elsie Mae Robinson,

76, of Huntingtown, Maryland passed away on January 12, 2016 at Cal-vert Memorial Hospital surrounded by her fam-ily and friends.

Thursday, January 21, 2016The Calvert County Times12 ObituariesFeature Story

By Crista DockrayStaff Writer

Donald Balcom wakes up everyday at 1:30 a.m. to run. He runs almost everyday, sometimes up to 24 miles in under three hours.

Balcom is visually impaired. He has five degrees of vision in each eye and has been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, which causes the constriction of peripheral vision.

Despite his disability, Balcom has been ranked the number one visually impaired runner of his T12 clas-sification (given by International Paralympic Com-mittee) in the USA and 13th in his classification in the world.

He has only been running since 2012, just a short 3.5 years.

Balcom grew up in upstate New York in the Fin-ger Lakes region. He was the middle of five brothers, attended a small school, and was a lover of sports. He even traveled to England and Wales for a soccer tournament.

Although he was a loved sports, he said he never liked running and never understood why people did it.

After graduating high school with a class of around 60 people, he attended Clarkson University for Me-chanical Engineering, still active on teams.

During his sophomore year, with persuasion of a flyer in the mail, he decided to join the Navy. He ap-plied to be a part of their exceptional student program to become a nuclear propulsion officer, and was ac-cepted even though the program was only for juniors and seniors.

He enlisted, was put on active duty, and finished college with just below a 4.0 GPA. After graduating, he reported to officer candidate school, but just three days later received bad news.

After some testing, he was told he had 10 to 12 de-grees of vision and was given his diagnosis.

For the next 10 years or so, Retinitis Pigmen-tosa did not slow him down. He still drove, coached

and refereed soccer, played sports, and worked. He also received his master’s degree in Engineering Management.

In 2005, however, New York State revoked his li-cense and his life became more challenging.

During this time he stopped playing sports and moved around to a few jobs.

In 2009, he moved to Southern Maryland and started working in target engineering for NAVAIR. His job allows him to develops targets and target sys-tems for test and evaluation at his office located in the Solomons Island Navy Recreation Area.

Because he was working, a self-proclaimed lover of food, and not as active in sports, he gained a bit of weight and at his heaviest weighed 215 pounds.

One day, two years after his move, Balcom was watching TV and overheard something about the Ironman Triathlon.

He knew he wanted to make a lifestyle change and that day made the choice to train for his first triathlon.

He began his training on the treadmill and search-ing for triathlons in the area. While searching, he stumbled upon the Paralympic Sport Club of South-ern Maryland, which had just formed and was the second Paralympic Sport Club in Maryland.

When he gave them a call, they offered him a place on their board where he still stands to this day.

Not long, after in 2012, Balcom made contact with Disabled Sports USA who asked if he would like to run a race. They had a team of veterans that were go-ing to run the Hood to Coast Relay Race in Oregon and he would be one of the 12 team members.

Although he had never run a race before, he agreed. Hood to Coast Relay is a 200-mile race with 36

legs, each team member taking three legs. According to Balcom, he had no idea that this was one of the largest relay races in the world and that he would be competing with about 13,000 other people.

Nerves kicked in. He, who had trained himself and never ran a race before, did not want to let anybody down.

And he did not. On his three legs he finished 52nd,

#1 in USA, 13th in the World

Thursday, January 21, 2016 13The Calvert County Times ObituariesFeature Story46th, and 32nd out of around 1,100 people. In his age group he finished 3rd, 5th, and 5th.

He was 38 and had only been running for five weeks. He found that he had a skill for running and he en-

joyed it, so when he returned home he began to run lo-cal races, consistently finishing in the top five to top ten.

Just in Calvert, he ran the 2012 CAASA 5K, the 2012 Jingle Bell 5K, the 2013 SMCN Resolution Run 5K, the 2013 Race to the Creek 5K, and the 2014 SMCN Reso-lution Run 5K.

In March of 2013, he ran his first marathon, the Lower Potomac River Marathon, which he trained for himself, ran unguided, and qualified for the Boston Marathon. A week later he ran the Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico, where he finished ninth out of 5,800 people.

This race Balcom ran with a guide and has done so ever since. In the beginning Balcom ran unguided. He would ask for maps and follow behind other runners to keep track of where he was going.

It was stressful he said, so he hired a guide. Balcom allows his guide to be his eyes by keeping a hand their shoulder and focusing just on the run itself. Sometimes one person acts as his guide, sometimes it is many.

“It’s getting increasingly difficult,” said Balcom about finding runners that are close to his level.

Especially since in 2013, he ran the Marine Corps Marathon, finishing 196th and accomplishing his first sub three-hour marathon.

He went on to do better. In 2015, he completed his first Boston Marathon after an injury left him unable to do so the year before. He placed 1670th overall run-ning a 2:55:45, and until he returned home, unknow-ingly won the 2015 Boston Marathon Blind/Visually-Impaired Division.

“That was probably my favorite race,” Balcom said. Shortly after in October, he competed in the Chi-

cago Marathon running his personal best of 2:50:38 and eight weeks later went to compete in the California International Marathon, also the USBA Blind Athletes National Championships. Unfortunately, at mile five, he tangled feet with his guide and landed hard. Halfway

through the marathon he was forced to pull out due to an injury to his hip.

That same month he became a board member of Southern Maryland Community Resources and this past weekend he finished the Disney Half Marathon.

What’s next is something amazing. Balcom has been selected by the International Paralympic Committee to represent TEAM USA at the London Marathon in April. He hopes in London to do a 2:43 or 2:45 and qual-ify for the Paralympics in Rio.

“I am just waiting to put on that USA uniform and run that race,” said Balcom.

At this time Balcom is trying to find guides. He needs a runner that can do 2:40 or below, a U.S. Citizen and of someone of equal gender because of roles. London will be paying for the accommodations, but airfare and extra costs will be his, so Balcom is hoping to raise money through the community to help him accomplish his goal and pay the way for his guides.

If you would like to donate, visit www.usaba.myetap.org/fundraiser/athletedevelopmentaccounts/donate.do?sponsor=849.0.428502043.

When Balcom is not running or working, he’s at home with his wife Andrea of 12 years, his son Aus-tin, 9, and his daughter Alaina, 4. He likes to row as a good way of cross-training, he likes woodworking, do-ing things around the house, but mostly he likes to relax when he can.

In the future he hopes to set the American record for the visually impaired by breaking 2:43, go to the Para-lympic Games in Rio, go back and win the USBA Blind Athletes National Championships, get his Ph.D., run the New York Marathon, and do the Boston Marathon once more.

“I don’t think I would change that I am visually im-paired. If they had a cure, I don’t think I would change it because I’m doing some pretty cool stuff. I’ve done things the past three years that I never thought I would do and I’ll probably do stuff in the next few years that I don’t think I can do right now,” said Balcom.

More and more visitors are enjoying Calvert County’s charms. A study on the impact of tour-ism in Maryland, released in December, shows a 1.3 percent increase in visitors to the county in 2014, the most recent data available. Calvert County tourism industry sales grew by 6.5 percent while tourism employment, labor income and tax receipts all posted gains.

Nearly 1,200 people are directly employed through the Calvert County tourism sector, rep-resenting more than $35 million in labor income. Tourism tax receipts in 2014 – including federal, state, local and hotel taxes – totaled $34.8 million, an increase of nearly 7 percent over 2013. The sta-tistics were compiled for the Maryland Office of Tourism by the economics analysis firm Tourism

Economics.“Tourism is a vital part of Calvert County’s

economy,” said Linda Vassallo, director of the Calvert County Department of Economic Devel-opment. “Our proximity to local waterways, the county’s rich rural heritage and unique shopping and dining experiences are major draws for re-gional travelers. Our tourism industry partners are strong advocates for the county’s charms and we continually look for new ways to highlight Cal-vert County to potential visitors.”
