24FIT Challenge
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Get fit and change your life with the
free 24FIT Challenge.
Herbalife is an international company that is in over 90 countries and has
been around for 35 years. Independant
members offer customized plans to
help people lose weight, gain weight,
or build muscle.
A local Herbalife coach, Eric McKay
runs his own 24FIT Challenge for the
southern Maryland area.
The 24FIT Challenge runs month
long challenges with two-week breaks
in between each session. Before the
start of the month, participants are
measured and weighed and perform
an initial assessment that includes
exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups,
and a mile-long run. The group then
meets three times a week on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday in a morning
session at 9 a.m. or an evening session
at 6:30 p.m. The hour-long classes consist of cardio and bodyweight exercises
and are taught by McKay who started
with Herbalife a year ago.
The classes usually take place outside
at the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Departmen. The classes do plan on moving indoors for upcoming challenges.
As of now, McKay has about 35 people in the night classes, with the morning classes running a bit smaller.
I only plan on growing, he said.

At the end of the month-long fit challenge a final assessment is performed.


According to McKay, everyone takes
about two minutes off their mile time
and they do at least 10 more push-ups
and sit-ups. McKay said in his morning class he has one woman that has
already lost 12 pounds.
Were making an impactwere
going to change lives. Thats what its
about, thats whats important, said
McKay.
It is not just about weight loss, however. McKay said he can help people
gain the energy they need to stay
awake throughout the day.
It is not a requirement to be on the
Herbalife program in order to participate in the challenge. Participants can
be any age or level and can come join
at any stage throughout the challenge.
Bring friends and family and enjoy a
welcoming environment to get fit.
McKay said his goal for all participants are results.
People see their results, they see
themselves changing, said McKay,
adding that the motivation and positive energy from the class helps turn a
cant into a can.
The FIT Challenge will continue
into the future with no plans on stopping. For more information, follow the
FIT Challenge on Facebook at 24FIT

Governor Larry
Hogan Appoints
Elizabeth Hughes
as State Historic
Preservation Officer

Governor Larry Hogan today announced the appointment of Elizabeth


Hughes as Marylands State Historic
Preservation Officer and confirmed her
appointment by the Board of Trustees as
the director of the Maryland Historical
Trust (the Trust). Hughes has served as
deputy director of the Trust since October 2002 and has been acting director for the past 10 months. The Trust,
a division of the Maryland Department
of Planning, serves as Marylands State
Historic Preservation Office and provides direct assistance to a broad base
of local, state, and federal stakeholders
in the identification, protection, and enhancement of heritage resources. The
Trust administers a variety of historic
preservation grant, loan, and tax credit
programs including the Sustainable
Communities Tax Credit, which leverages private investment in the rehabilitation of both commercial and residential
historic properties.
I congratulate Elizabeth Hughes
and I am confident that she will serve
the people of Maryland extremely well
promoting and preserving state historic
assets, said Governor Hogan. She is a
dedicated public servant with years of
experience in Maryland and on the national level.
I am pleased Governor Hogan appointed Elizabeth Hughes to serve as
our State Historic Preservation Officer,
while also confirming her appointment
as director of the Trust, said Secretary
of Planning David R. Craig. She is a
recognized leader in the historical pres-

ervation community and we are fortunate to have her.


As part of her duties as State Historic
Preservation Officer and director of the
Maryland Historical Trust, Hughes will
oversee the management of the agencys
activities ranging from identification of
archeological sites and standing structures to regulatory and financial assistance programs. The State Historic
Preservation Officer administers the
national historic preservation program
at the state level, reviews National Register of Historic Places nominations,
maintains data on historic properties
that have been identified but not yet
nominated, and consults with federal
agencies during the investigation of the
effects of their undertakings on historic
properties.
Hughes grew up on Marylands Eastern Shore and, as she describes it, was
surrounded by history. Even though her
20-year career has been in Maryland,
she has a broad national perspective in
historic preservation having served on
the board of the National Conference
of State Historic Preservation Officers
since 2004. She was elected the president
of that organization in 2013, serving until 2017, and represented it on the presidentially appointed Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation. Hughes holds
a masters degree in architectural history from the University of Virginia and
an undergraduate degree in American
studies from Georgetown University.

CSM Presents Career Discussion

CSM presents Your Career Starts Now!


with speaker Chaz Pitts-Kyser from 2:30 to 4
p.m., Nov. 19. College of Southern Maryland,
La Plata Campus, Center for Business and
Industry (BI) Building, BI 103, 8730 Mitchell Rd., La Plata. In this interactive session,

Back in 1945 Congress designated the first


week in October as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. In 1988, Congress
expanded the week to a month and changed
its name to National Disability Employment
Awareness Month. The Commissioners of St.
Marys County continued the tradition by issuing a National Disability Awareness Month
proclamation for St. Marys County during its
weekly business meeting.
The commissioners recognize individuals
with disabilities are an untapped resource and
are among those experiencing the highest unemployment rate at 16.8 percent of any group
in Maryland. Employers can enhance and
bring diversity to their businesses and workplaces by creating equal career opportunities
and practices in addition to hiring qualified
individuals with disabilities, said Commis-

sioner Todd Morgan (4th District.)


The U.S. Department of Labors theme for
this years observance, which celebrates 70
years of Disability Employment Awareness
Month, is My disability is one part of who I
am. The goal is to raise awareness about disability employment issues, honor the many
diverse contributions of America's workers
with disabilities, and convey that advancing
disability employment is much more than
just hiring; it is about creating a continuum of
inclusion.
The commissioners urge county citizens to
observe the month with appropriate programs
and activities which reaffirm the dedication
to create equal employment opportunities for
people with disabilities.

Turning gold and


silver into cash
M

ost people have gold jewelry or other valuables


tucked away in a drawer or closet. It might be mismatched earrings or damaged ring . It could
be an old forgotten coin collection or musical instrument.
Whatever it is, Eric from Calvert
Pawn can probably help turn
it back into cash. The most
common item we take in is gold
jewelry, however we do accept
a wide variety of items such as
flat panel tv's, laptop computers, coins, video games systems, ipad tablets, ipods, commercial power tools, musical
instruments, and collectibles,
just to name a few things. he
says. If the item is acceptable
to the pawnshop we can evaluate your items and either buy
it directly from you, or offer you
a pawn loan.
We have many customers who
just wish to sell their items.
However, we also have individ-

uals who have an unexpected


bill or emergency and just need
a temporary loan against their
item. Not everyone has access
to a savings account or credit card. he says. Up until the
1950s, pawnbrokers were the
number one source of consumer credit in the United States.
A pawn loan put simply is when
a customers pledge property
as collateral, and in return,
pawnbrokers lend them money. When customers pay back
the loan, their merchandise is
returned to them. Pawn loans
are made on everything from
jewelry to electronics. If the
customer elects not to redeem
his or her collateral, there is no
credit consequence to the borrower and the items are sold at
a value price to retail consumers. We usually have a nice selection of pre-owned electronics, jewelry, tools and musical
instruments. I have been doing
this for over 15 years and you

Bring us an item
to be evaluated by
our trained team
members.

never know what you are going


to have come in. he says.
Television reality shows such
as "Pawn Stars" have helped
to change the image of the
industry. High prices for gold
and other precious metals,

meanwhile, have brought out


more people as borrowers and
sellers. Gold and silver prices
have fluctuated quite a bit the
last few years, but overall prices are still high and customers
are getting good value for their
jewelry.

So whether you're looking to turn your unwanted


jewelry or other valuables in to cash, or just
looking for a good deal, visit Calvert Pawn.

Let us know if you would


like to PAWN your item
for a short term loan or
just SELL it.

Letter to the Editor


We would like to publicly
thank Mr. Frank Taylor, owner
of JTs Kitchen in Sunderland,
Md. and Mr. John Parker, owner of the World Gym, in Prince
Frederick, Md. for the time and
effort they put into our field
trip on Tuesday, Oct. 20. We
toured their facilities and they
both took time out of their busy
schedules to sit down with us
and teach us what it takes to
run a successful business. We
learned from Mr. Parker that
as a business owner you need
to treat everyone you come
into contact with respectfully
because you never know when
you might see them again. We
learned from Mr. Taylor that
no one can make you do any-

thing that you dont want to do


and that your personal connections to people are very important when you own your own
business.
These two business owners
gave back to their community
by sharing invaluable information with future business leaders. The information provided
on our field trip could never be
taught in a classroom.

Martial Arts
Promote a Strong,
Healthy Life Style
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Calvert County is home to a wide variety of martial arts studios, ensuring there
is something for every age and ability level. Which one is right for you?
Master (Kwan Jang Nim, in Korean)
Kyle Webber started taking Tae Kwon Do
classes at the age of 13. He was getting
picked on a lot at school. He wasnt good
at sports and was having trouble finding
a group to fit in with. Around that time,
Master Kyu Shim was starting the first
Black Belt Academies in Southern Maryland. Tae Kwon Do was something new
and, before Master Shims schools, there
werent a lot of studios in the area.
The Black Belt Academy of Prince
Frederick teaches Olympic-style Tae
Kwon Do. Master Kyu Shim opened the
Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick
in 2004 and Webber took the academy
over a year and half later, at the age of 19.
Since Shim started the first Black Belt
Academy the student population has
grown large enough to hold two tournaments a year, one in the spring at Patuxent
High School and one in the fall. This nice
thing about martial arts, as opposed to
team sports, is everyone competes against
their own record and works at their own

pace.
Webbers school offers classes for all
levels throughout the day, including after
school and evening classes.
Tae Kwon Do isnt the only type of martial art available in the county. The Calvert
MMA Academy opened in 2007, bringing
instruction in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Thai
Boxing to Southern Maryland for the first
time, according to owner Jim Thrift. JiuJitsu is a more defensive style, while Thai
Boxing focuses on stand up striking and is
more aggressive. Calvert MMA celebrated its 10-year anniversary on Oct. 27.
According to the Calvert MMA website, in addition to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and
Thai Boxing, we have had guest instructors teach American freestyle wrestling,

western boxing, and Kodokan Judo at our


academy. When we originally put MMA
in our name, we did it with the thought
and purpose of MMA not being a style
of martial art, but the actual teaching of
multiple martial art disciplines within one
academy. Although we have students who
compete in MMA events, todays definition of MMA is not what we intended for
the public perception of our academy. We
are a MMA academy because we offer
multiple styles of martial arts within the
Calvert MMA Academy.
Calvert MMA has students ages 4 to 70,
Thrift said. One of the most recent additions to the lineup is a self-defense class
designed for young women held on Mondays, he said.
Finding the right martial arts school
takes patience, Webber said. Most places will let people try out their academy.
There is a large variety of schools with a
wide array of class sizes and intensity levels. When it comes down to it, the right fit
is an individual choice.
You can kind of go with your gut,
Webber said.

Martial arts styles, promote physical


health and a philosophy of control, according to Lusby-based Tae Kwon Heroes
manager Arielle Park.
Tae Kwon Heroes has been open 10
years, and recently moved to a location
near Food Lion in Lusby.
Martial arts give students an opportunity to learn to defend themselves and
to build a lot of friendships. Involvement
promotes an active and healthy lifestyle,
he said.
The fall black belt academy tournament
will be held on Nov. 14 at Shims academy
in the Wildewood Shopping Center, located at 23415 Three Notch Rd. in California,
Md.

Belt Academy, visit www.calvertmartialarts.com or call 410-414-7530. For more

RAUSCH CREMATORY P.A.

Francis Skip Ward, Jr. (83), passed


away peacefully on Friday, Oct .16, at home in
Lusby, Md. Born Dec.
27, 1931 in Washington, D.C., he was the
son of the late Francis
Nash Ward, Sr. and Ellen Louise King. Skip
was preceded in death
by his beloved wife of
33 years, Barbara Jean Ward and is survived by his children, Connie Wallach
and James Ward, Sr.; stepchildren, Barbara Shewbridge, Marla Miller, Patricia
Hilton, Marsha Turner, Lisa Winegardner, and Sara DiRienzo; four Siblings;
20 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Throughout his life, Skip was
often referred to as the gentle giant, a
kind and humble man who was respected
and loved by all who knew him. He loved
his family, friends, and baseball and
much of his spare time was spent rooting
for his home team, the Washington Nationals. He was a veteran of the United
States Army National Guard and a life
member at both Clinton and Silver Hill
Volunteer Fire Departments (VFD) in
Prince Georges County, Md. During his
50+ years as a devoted member of Clinton VFD, he held numerous positions
that were vital to the department,
some of which include President,
Vice President, Treasurer and various
others. He was essential in overseeing
the departments daily operations and
much of their success and achievements
are attributed to his commitment,
dedication and leadership. Skips Federal career began in 1963 with the Government Printing Office (GPO) as a Pressman. He spent the majority of his 30+
year tenure as a Pressman on the midnight shift and was extremely proud of

his work and the career he led. In 1992


he retired to the waterfront community
of Mears Creek in Lusby, Md. where
he and Jean resided since 1991. They
shared a passion for the water and loved
being out on their boat crabbing and
fishing. They were greatly involved in
their community and established friendships with many of their Mears Creek
neighbors. Family, friends, and others
whose lives Skip touched were invited
to the Stallings-Williams American Legion Post 206, 3330 Chesapeake Beach
Rd., Chesapeake Beach Md. 20732,
on Wednesday, Oct. 28 for a visitation

Sweet Dreams
Candy Shoppe

By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe brings
back the tastes of the old days. An oldfashioned candy store with handmade
chocolates is a great place for the person
who wants to remember the candy from the
good ol times or to taste a classic for the
first time.
Owner Bonnie Blackwell started Sweet
Dreams Candy Shoppe in honor of her
husband who, in 2001, was hit and killed
by a drunk driver while running. He loved
the old fashion candy Boston baked beans,
which are peanuts covered in reddish
chocolate shells that resemble baked beans
when in bulk.
Blackwell thought she should open a
store selling this sort of candy, so she began
in a stall in Calvert Country Market. After
a year or two of good business, she expanded into a larger space within the market.
Business still went strong, but in 2007, Calvert Country Market closed. Sweet Dreams
Candy Shoppe then moved to Third Street
in North Beach and later expanded into
their current St. Leonard location in 2010.
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe sells handmade chocolates, toys, drink mixes for hot
chocolate, coffee, and smoothies, sodas
in glass bottles, old-fashioned candy, and
more.
Blackwell is a self-taught chocolate maker and she makes everything from chocolate covered Oreos to white chocolate lemon bark and milk chocolate cordial cherries
to dark chocolate orange jellies.
Their best selling chocolate would be
their Old Bay chocolate crabs, which make
a unique, salty and sweet treat.
The kids love the gummies and the
BeanBoozled Jelly Bellies.
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe holds
birthday parties where kids get to play
games and make and decorate their own
chocolate pops. The shoppe holds tea parties and chocolate making classes as well.
They do special orders for events like
weddings and baby showers and even offer chocolate paintings. Blackwell and her
daughter will paint anything requested
such as pets, portraits, celebrities and more.
They use chocolates ranging in white to

Photos by Crista Dockray

dark as their color palette.


Coming up they will have 3D chocolate
pumpkins for Halloween (fudge filled or
solid chocolate), 3D turkeys for Thanksgiving, and Christmas candies.
During Christmas, Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe allows customers to purchase a
small Santa bag of chocolate for military
families or soldiers overseas. The customer
will leave the names and addresses and
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe will send it
to wherever it needs to go. Last year the
shoppe sent out over 50 pounds.
Make sure to stop by Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe to pick up some candy for Halloween. They will be handing out chocolate
on their porch to any children that come by.
Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe is located
at 4902 St. Leonard Rd. in St. Leonard.
Their hours are Tuesday through Saturday
10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. and
closed on Mondays. For more information,

Evaluation Data Reveals Some


Differences Between Schools, Systems

Local Schools Celebrate


Teen Read Week

By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer

High schools throughout Calvert County celebrated


teen read week Oct. 18 through 24.
Teen read week is sponsored by Young Adult Library
Services Association (YALSA), which is a subsidiary
of the American Library Association, according to Calvert High School Media Assistant Sharon Kruder.
I feel like in todays world, teens forget they can
read, Kruder said, explaining that Teen Read Week is
designed to encourage teens to read for fun.
Students have so much on their plates, between
school, jobs, sports, and other extracurriculars, that
they forget about picking up a book and reading just
because they want to.
During teen read week, each library did something
different, including activities and displays, Kruder said.
Every year, YALSA chooses a different theme for Teen
Read Week. This years theme was Get Away at your
Library.
At Calvert High School, library staff put out books
about travel and exotic locations, prompting students to
pick them up as they go through the library between
classes.
Its nice to see the written word is so important to
some students, Kruder said.

a highly effective teacher than students


in high poverty schools. Students in low
poverty schools are nearly three times
more likely to have a highly effective
principal.
Students in low minority schools
are four times more likely to have a
highly effective teacher than students
in high minority schools. Students in
low minority schools are more than
twice as likely to have a principal rated highly effective than those in high
minority schools.
Tenured teachers are more likely
to be rated highly effective -- and less
likely to be rated ineffective -- than
untenured teachers.
There is significant variation between school systems in their teacher
and principal effectiveness ratings.
All 24 of Marylands school systems are now participating in the
Statewide Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program.
There are 43,818 teacher ratings
included in todays release, along
with 1,101 principal ratings. The
largest participating systems (Prince
Georges County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel
County, and Howard County) represent two-thirds of the ratings. The
full range of data from Frederick and
Montgomery Counties will be provided in the summer 2016.
MSDE has involved all 24 school
systems and various stakeholders in
the professional development process
for Teacher and Principal Evaluation. In 2014, MSDE and the Maryland State Board of Education joined
the Maryland State Education Association, Public School Superintendents
Association of Maryland, Maryland
Association of Boards of Education,
Maryland Association of Secondary
School Principals, Maryland Association of Elementary School Principals,
and the Baltimore Teachers Union
in a Memorandum of Understanding
pledging to coordinate resources and
strategies in the development of rigorous and measurable SLOs as part of
that process.
Several reports on Marylands
Teacher-Principal Evaluation system
have already been released. For example, Change in Practice in Maryland: Student Learning Objectives and
Teacher and Principal Evaluation,
issued last month by the Community Training and Assistance Center
and the Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive
Center of WestEd, found that support
continues to grow for the evaluation
process. Educators are embracing the
use of SLOs as a tool to measure student growth and improve instruction.

More Evidence That


Maryland's Educators
Are Making The Grade

Teacher and principal effectiveness


ratings showed improved precision
across Maryland, according to the second annual State report card on educator
evaluations.
In the second full report, completed
last school year, 97.4 percent of teachers
were rated either highly effective or
effective in the states three-tiered rating system, a slight increase over 201314. Likewise, 97.8 percent of principals
were rated either effective or highly
effective.
While overall ratings for educators
remain high, differences in the percentage of effective educators are emerging
between schools and school systems.
Our goal is to make certain all of our
students, no matter where they live, have
access to great teachers and school leaders, said Interim State Superintendent
of Schools Jack R. Smith. Maryland
has thousands of great educators. Our
school systems can use this data to further improve classrooms, schools, and
student success.
The data, unveiled today before the
Maryland State Board of Education,
is based on the 2014-15 school year.
It found that 44.55 percent of teachers were rated highly effective, the
top tier of the three part rating system.
Likewise, 47.1 percent of principals were
rated highly effective, under the evaluation system.
Maryland school systems have spent
the past five years developing TPE
programs. Every Maryland school has
begun to see the benefits from the professional development and collaboration used to develop Student Learning
Objectives (SLOs) to guide instruction.
Systems are currently in the third year of
implementing new evaluation systems,
and MSDE will continue to monitor
progress in that implementation.
Todays data release marks the second annual statewide effort to evaluate teacher and principal effectiveness
based in part on student growth.
Each school district could develop its
own evaluation system within State parameters, or could use a State-developed
system. In the end, each district constructed an evaluation model based on
its own interests, and each local superintendent and head of the local bargaining
unit signed off on the design.
Evaluations were based on two factors: (1) professional practice items
such as education, leadership and observation; and (2) student growth. For the
first two years of the evaluation system,
student growth will be calculated exclusively by using the SLOs. SLOs are measurable instructional goals established
for a specific group of students over a set
period of time.
Todays report found:
Students in low poverty schools are
more than two times more likely to have

BLEACHERS
A View From The
The Stable
Majority v. Trolls
By Ronald N. Guy Jr.
Contributing Writer
When the undefeated Michigan
Wolverines hosted the undefeated
Michigan State Spartans a couple
of weeks ago, I didnt have an obvious dog in the fight. Ive never even
visited Michigan. Maybe I flew west
via Detroit but I cant say for sure.
Ive bought a lot of albums from Detroit natives Kid Rock and Eminem,
though. I shamelessly sing Bob Seger
songs in the car. The beers from Bells
Brewery in Comstock, Michigan are
delightful. Does that qualify me to
choose sides in the states biggest rivalry? The Wolverine states collective response to my overture: Meh.
Fair enough. True to my inescapable mid-Atlantic form, I watched
the game with passing interest.
Michigans coach, Jim Harbaugh,
was fascinating, as always. Michigan States quarterback looked good.
Maybe he could help a certain pro
football team in D.C.? Other than
that, the hope was simply for good
competition.
It delivered. Michigan led 10-7 at
halftime, 20-14 at the end of the third
quarter and 23-21 with 10 seconds
left. Then it happened: The cruelty
of high-level, competitive athletics
bit the Wolverines. Michigans punter mishandled a low snap and compounded the error by fumbling the
ball. Michigan State scooped it up
and scored a game-winning touchdown as time expired.
In East Lansing, the reaction was
joyous chaos. In Ann Arbor, and
among Michigan nation at large, a
celebration was replaced with complete devastation in ten seconds flat.
Some handled the disappointment
better than others.
The punters name is Blake
ONeill. Hes a 22-year-old graduate
transfer from Weber State. He hails
originally from Melbourne, Australia and has played a lot more Australian rules football than American
Football. But none of that matters.
ONeill is now synonymous with
the fumbled punt, the gut-wrenching
loss and dashed national title hopes.
Hes in the goat fraternity with Bill
Buckner and Scott Norwood, poor
souls whose gaffs lead their Wiki
pages.
Despite ONeills botching of a
basic football play at the worst of
all moments, the majority of disappointed Wolverine faithful kept perspective. Was it a gut punch? Did it

hurt? Might it be a bother for years?


Will the sight of anything green or
reruns of the movie 300 cause irritation? Indeed. But what was lost?
Ultimately just a football game.
The sun will rise. Taxes will come
due. Donald Trump will insult
everyone. ONeill will punt again.
Michigan football will survive. Life
will go on.
The rational thought was far from
universal, though. ONeill received
hate mail, including death threats
and even suicidal suggestions such
as jumping off of a cliff and guzzling
bleach.
Thats the world now. Everyone
has a microphone and when someone
loses a game a game degenerates rush to their Twitter and Facebook accounts to wish death on their
sudden enemies. Humanity is lost.
Primal tendencies feast. Theres an
alarming disrespect for the human
being on the other end and how the
denigration will impact the targets
life. Oh no, such moments inspire
social media trolls, equipped with
direct lines to the perpetrator, to
exact revenge against those who
wronged them: wedgie-administering high school jocks, employers
who laid them off, girls who broke
their hearts, the mom who didnt hug
them enough, the fraternity that rejected their pledge, the dad for passing down his balding gene and their
god for not giving them elite athletic prowess. Because in ONeills
situation, the trolls (in their twisted
minds) would have done better. They
would have executed the punt. Sure.
Truth is, their continence is challenged imagining such things; nerves
compromise their performance while
playing video games at noon on a
random Tuesday.
The good news is ONeill is doing
fine. The stable majority of the Michigan community and the schools
Athletic Director have come to his
defense. Crisis avertedthis time.
But theres a Blake ONeill in every
in every town and a lot of them are
much younger, much more emotionally vulnerable and lack the support
afforded a player at a major college
program. Collectively, our stable
majority needs to protect those kids.
They are inevitably in our schools.
They might be playing in our cul-desacs. They could even be our own.
