pray
gracious
God,

We

to
you

now.
In

Lord,
we
come
honoring
you
and
acknowledging
who
you
are.
We
don't
come
because
it's

come
because
we

that
you
are

king
of
kings
and
the
Lord
of
lords,
and
so
we
honor
you
and
we
acknowledge
you
before
any
business
is
done.
Lord
father,
we
come
confessing
that
we
don't
know
all
the
answers.
B
Father.
None
of
us
are
coming
to
you
because
we've
done
everything
right,
but
we
come
to
you
Lord,
knowing
that
you
are
right
that
you
know
all
and
you
rule
all
and
you
see
all,
and
so
we
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to

carry

that
is

individually,
collectively,
I

that

everything
that
concerns

Here
in
Prince
Frederick
Elsa,
we
are
celebrating
business
Appreciation
Week
in
Calvert
County.
We
have
lots
of
wonderful
small
businesses
that
help
contribute
to
the
community
provide
services,
and
this
is
our
opportunity
to
show
that
our
appreciation
for
what
they
do.
A
So
there
were
events
started
yesterday
this
afternoon.
We
as
Commissioners
will
be
out
touring
around
many
different
businesses
throughout
Coward
County,
but
we
want
to
whenever
you're
in
a
local
business.
We
want
you
to
thank
them.
You
know
sometimes
it's
not
easy
operating
a
small
business,
no
matter
where
you
are,
but
today
there
are
certainly
challenges
for
everybody,
and
we
want
to
thank
our
businesses
for
maintaining
the
services
that
they
provide
here
in
Calvert
County.
A
It's
also
National
National
Teachers
Appreciation
week,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
all
the
work
that
our
teachers
do,
helping
to
educate
our
children
and
the
service
that
they
provide
to
the
community
I
believe
that's
all
I
have
for
today,
so
that
will
bring
us
to
proclamations.
We
have
lots
of
proclamations
today.
The
first
one
is
National
travel
and
tourism
week.
Commissioner
Ireland.
D
E
Thank
you
good
morning.
My
name
is
Hilary
Daly
I'm,
the
tourism
program
specialist
for
Calvert
County.
My
job
is
to
promote
all
the
great
things
there
are
to
see
and
do
here
in
Calvert
County,
so
people
come
visit
for
a
little
bit
and
basically
leave
their
money
here.
We
want
them
to
spend
their
money
here,
spend
their
money
in
our
locally
owned.
Restaurants
and
shops
spend
their
money
in
our
art,
galleries
and
Museum
shops.
Then
they
can
go
back
home
with
a
pocket
full
of
memories.
E
The
money
visitors
bring
in
is
brand
new
money
flowing
directly
into
our
local
economy.
It
cushions
our
tax
base
here
in
Calvert
County.
It's
tax
money
that
Calvert
County
residents
do
not
have
to
pay.
In
fact,
visitors
to
Calvert
County
and
across
the
state
of
Maryland
save
every
Maryland
household,
approximately
a
thousand
dollars
in
taxes
every
year
by
leaving
their
money
behind
when
they
leave
a
destination.
E
Another
important
factor
of
Calvert
County
tourism
is
supporting
and
connecting
our
attractions
and
businesses
like
restaurants,
charter
boats,
galleries,
Parks,
antique
stores,
farmers,
markets,
ice
cream
shops
and
more
because
these
places
make
it
fun
to
live
here.
In
Calvert
County,
our
quality
of
life
is
Calvert.
County
residents
is
enhanced
by
what
we
have
here
today
we
are
celebrating
National
travel
and
tourism
week
established
in
1983
travel
and
tourism.
E
To
celebrate
the
importance
of
this
week
in
Calvert
County
we'll
be
highlighting
some
of
Calvert
County's
anchor
attractions
in
a
social
media
campaign
offering
the
public
a
scavenger
hunt
with
prizes
that
we
developed
with
the
Department
of
communications
and
media
relations,
and
we
will
be
presenting
small
tokens
of
appreciation
with
handwritten.
Thank
you
notes
to
the
small
and
hard-working
staff
at
our
Calvert
County
hotels.
E
Additionally,
I've
asked
Sarah
Frey
tourism
assistant,
Julie
oberg,
director
of
Economic
Development,
and
several
of
my
colleagues
who
I
consider
friends
that
represent
some
of
our
anchor
attractions
tours
and
businesses
and
organizations
in
Calvert
County
to
come.
Accept
this
Proclamation.
Please
come
forward
state,
your
name
and
who
you
represent.
P

But
our
sites

hotels,
restaurants
and
the
workforce
that
support
them
remain
committed
to
a
strong
and
enthusiastic
comeback
in
2022
continuing
into
2023,
welcoming
visitors
from
near
and
far
to
enjoy
Calvert
County
and
spend
their
money
and
local
businesses

always
been,
and
always
will
be,
the
enduring
character
of
the
travel

Else
so
I've
known
Mr
Smith
for
a
lot
of
years.
You
look
up
volunteer
in
the
dictionary
his
picture
is
there
next
to
it?
How
many
years
were
at
the
Sheriff's
Office
Mr
Smith
10
years?
How
many
days,
a
week
three
days
a
week
due
to
math,
he
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Volunteering
at
the
sheriff's
office
he's
a
great
man
in
addition
to
the
Coast
Guard
auxiliary.
You
see
him
he's
very
involved
in
the
community.
Great
great
person
and
misara
would
say
the
same
about
you,
but
I.
A
D
I've
actually
seen
Mr
Smith
out
and
about
in
the
water,
and
you
know
we
exchanged
our
waves
and,
like
I
said,
we
appreciate
what
you
do
and
we're
going
to
read
this
Proclamation,
whereas
the
national,
safe
boating
council's
boating,
safe
boating
campaign
is
a
worldwide
effort
focused
on
responsible
boating.
D
The
campaign
encourages
boaters
to
always
wear
a
life
jacket.
While
on
the
water,
When
selecting
a
life
jacket,
a
boater
should
ensure
that
his
U.S
Coast
Guard
approved
for
the
water
activity
and
that
it
fits
properly
and
whereas,
although
boating
is
an
excellent
source
of
recreation,
it
can
be
a
dangerous
activity.
Every
year,
individuals
lose
their
lives
in
boating,
related
accidents
in
the
United
States.
D
D
Now,
therefore,
be
proclaimed
by
the
board
of

of

the
week
of

U
D
X

Good
morning,
Commissioners
I'm
major
TD
Reese,
the
administrator
of
the
Detention
Center
I,
want
to
thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
busy
schedule
to
recognize
National,
correctional
officer
and
employee
week.
We
we
appreciate
any
recognition
we
get
outside
of
the
concrete
and
steel
walls.
We
work
behind
all
the
time,
but
I
want
to.
You
know,
take
this
opportunity
just
to
thank
all
the
staff
at
the
detention
center
and
I.
Y
Consider
myself
very,
very
fortunate
to
work
with
such
a
great
bunch
of
people
highly
dedicated
to
what
they
do
in
the
very
difficult
task
of
trying
to
change
the
lives
for
the
better
of
those
people
incarcerated
in
Calvert,
County
and
I.
Think
we
do
a
pretty
good
job
at
at
doing
that
so
again,
I.
Thank
you
all
I.
Thank
you
all
for
your
support
of
the
detention
center
and
the
work
we
do
so.
W
Good

morning,
Commissioners
Captain
cross
with
the
detention
center
and
to
mirror
that
can't
thank
you
for
all
the
help
you've
given
us
over
the
years,
keeping
it
safe,
helping
that
organization
run
quietly
and
at
the
same
time
you
know
just
making
sure
that
the
staff
is
recognized
when
you
get
a
chance.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
Good

Commissioners
Sergeant
Travis
a
rod.
X
Good
morning,
commissioner,
Sheriff
Cox,
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
for
recognizing
the
correctional
deputies.
They
do
have
a
unique
job.
They
do
day
in
and
day
out
when
they
go
to
work
when
they
take
their
shift,
they
go
and
they
go
to
jail.
I
mean
for
their
tour,
Duty
I
mean
they
can't
leave
and
carrying
custody
of
inmates
is,
is
a
tough
in,
like
I,
said
unique
job
and
they
do
it
at
a
high
level,
and
we
appreciate
everything
they
do
for
us.
Q
Good
morning,
Commissioners
Bob,
Harvey,
States
Attorney
I'm,
not
here
to
come,
stand
up
front
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
words
of
appreciation
for
these
fine
men
and
women
the
job
they
do.
They
do
their
job
so
well
that
nobody
even
knows
that
they
do
it
and
that's
quite
a
commendation,
they're
an
integral
part
of
what
we
do
here
in
the
courthouse
ferrying
prisoners
back
and
forth.
Q
It's
one
of
the
few
organizations
I
know
that
if
you
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
them
and
say
we
need
somebody
here,
they'll
have
them
up
here
in
five
or
ten
minutes.
You
don't
get
that
kind
of
service.
Believe
me,
I,
know
anywhere
else
in
the
state
of
Maryland.
So
congratulations
on
this
Proclamation.
It's
well
deserved.
Thank.
C
You
thank
you
oops.
Can
you
hear
me
so
before
I
read
this
and
I
say
this
with
a
lot
of
times
with
proclamations
you
can't
put
in
print
really
what
this
covers
and
I've
said
this
many
times
it's
such
a
team
effort,
but
to
focus
on
you
guys
today,
because
you
know
from
our
state's
attorney
to
our
sheriffs
and
the
officers,
just
like
the
sheriff
said
you're
there
with
and
be
quite
honest,
a
lot
of
people
that
we're
afraid
of
a
lot
of
people
that
need
help
from
many
different
things.
C
But
that's
what
you
do
and
that
place
is
open
365..
There
is
no
well
it's
closed
for
this
or
that
it's
open
24
hours
a
day
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks
in
there
that
they,
for
whatever
reason,
have
found
themselves
in
trouble,
need
help,
whether
it's
mental
health
or
something
else
like
that
and
it's
a
challenging,
challenging
job.
C
If
any
of
you
have
any
friends
or
family
that
do
that
work,
it's
tough,
they
wear
it
and
you
you
I,
can't
imagine
trying
to
do
that
to
get
myself
into
a
mindset.
You
know
you
know,
go
to
work
on
Monday.
You
go
to
work
to
your
job,
you
go
in,
you
know.
Maybe
you
had
a
long
weekend
and
you're
kind
of
tired
and
sluggish.
They
can't
be
not
on
their
A-game.
They
have
to
be
on
in
a
hundred
percent
at
all
times
or
somebody
could
get
hurt.
C
You
know
whether
it's
the
inmate
or
a
fellow
Co
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
guys
from
when
I
was
a
little
kid
to
who
was
in
that
jail
then
to
who's.
There
now
is
different
I'm
telling
you
it's
different,
and
these
men
and
women
have
to
be
on
their
A-game.
They
really
do
and
you
just
there's
not
enough
in
here.
It's
really
not
and
I
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
I.
C
C
C
It
says,
whereas
Calvert
County
employs
80
dedicated
Correctional
deputies
and
13
professional
civilian
staff,
with
the
shared
mission
of
safely
and
securing
housing,
the
offenders
legally
entrusted
to
their
custody
and
care,
and
whereas
the
Calvert
County,
Detention
Center
is
staffed
with
well-trained
professionals
and
deputies
who
uphold
the
law,
operate
under
a
strict
doctrine
of
conduct,
meet
federal
and
state
standards
and
conform
to
the
highest
levels
of
Ethics,
morals
and
personal
conduct.
And
whereas
correction
is
an
honorable
profession
with
deep
roots
in
our
community.
C
The
duty
of
these
individuals
is
both
honorable
and
demanding
and
requires
the
highest
level
of
performance
and
dependability
while
being
responsible
for
a
most
challenging
population
and
where
it
is
important
to
remember
those
who've
dedicated
their
lives
to
operating,
safe
and
secure
facilities,
escorting
and
transporting
dangerous
offenders.
Enforcing
consequences
that
may
lead
to
changes
in
behaviors
and
new
lives
for
those
in
their
custody.
C
Now,
therefore,
be
a
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
the
week
of
May,
7,
13
2023
be
known
as
correctional
officers
and
employees
week
in
Calvert
County
and
be
it
further
proclaimed
that
the
appreciation
of
all
Calvert
County
Citizens
is
hereby
extended
to
the
Calvert
County
Detention
Center,
and
observations
of
this
National
recognition
given
under
our
hands
and
seal.
This
ninth
day,
May
23,
signed
by
all
five
County
Commissioners.
Y
Just
a
little
bit
to
kick
off
Correction
Officer
Week
at
the
Detention
Center
we
hold
a
ceremony
where
we
exchange
the
colors.
We
put
brand
new
flags
up
above
the
Detention
Center
at
the
beginning
of
Correctional
Officer
Week.
Every
year
we
take
the
American
flag
from
the
year
before
and
we
fold
it-
and
we
put
it
in
a
nice
case
here
and
we
present
it
to
our
correctional
officer
of
the
year
that
earned
that
honor,
while
he
was

Crystal
Curtis
I
also
have
the
antlers

syndrome
and
she
was
going
to
say
hi,
I'm,
Megan,
vanucci
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
not
just
for
us
here,
but
for
the
entire
Calvert
County,
those
of
us
who
fight
Elder
scandalous
every
day.
We
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
time
and
energy
it
took
to
do
this
and
we
thank
you
for
the
visibility
and
awareness
that
this
brings.
AB
N
Had
this
and
I
I
know,
I
was
not
aware
of
it,
and
I
I
have
a
pretty
firm
handshake
and
when
I
went
to
shake
his
hand,
my
knee
said:
oh,
my
gosh,
you
almost
killed
them
and
I
did
I,
had
no
idea
that
this
even
existed
and
I've
seen
what
her
father-in-law
goes
through
at
his
age
and
what
his
firstborn
son
goes
through
at
his
age
as
well.

Okay,
whereas
ehlers-danlos
syndrome,
EDS,
are
a
group
of
13
heritable,
connective
tissue
disorders
with
a
combined
prevalence
of
at
least
one
in
five
thousand
individuals
worldwide.
Each
type
of
EDS
has
its
own
set
of
symptoms,
but
some
are
seen
across
all
types,
including
joint
hypermobility,
skin,
hyper
extensibility
and
tissue
fragility,
and
whereas
hypermobility
Spectrum,
Disorder
hsd
are
connective
tissue
disorders
that
cause
joint
hypermobility,
instability,
injury
and
pain.
N
Other
sense
other
symptoms
such
as
fatigue,
headaches,
GI
problems
and
autonomic
dysfunction
are
often
seen
as
part
of
hsd
and
whereas
there
is
no
cure
for
any
type
of
EDS
or
hsd.
Therefore,
these
conditions
are
managed
by
addressing
the
symptoms.
Eds
and
hsd
can
cause
a
variety
of
symptoms
in
many
different
areas
of
the
body.
N
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
board
of
County
commissioners
of
Calvert
County
that
the
month
of
May
2023
be
known
as
ehlers-danlos
syndromes
and
hypermobility
Spectrum
disorders,
Awareness
Month
in
Calvert
County.
Be
it
further
proclaimed
that
we
commend
all
those
who
are
committed
to
educating
and
increasing
awareness
of
these
disorders
and
urge
all
citizens
to
take
this
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
EDS
and
hsd,
given
under
our
hands
and
sealed
this
ninth
day
of
May
2023,
signed
by
all
five
County
Commissioners.
B
R
O
Good
morning,
Commissioners
Julie
meschino
I
am
the
coordinator
for
the
Calvert
County
family
Network,
which
is
the
local
management
board
for
Calvert
County,
and
we
are
a
division
of
the
Department
of
Community
Resources.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
recognize
may
as
children's
mental
health
awareness
month
and
this
week
as
children's
mental
health
awareness
week.
O
This
is
a
great
week
to
raise
awareness
about
the
great
resources
that
we
do
have
in
Calvert
County
for
children's
mental
health,
and
it's
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
what
we
could
do
better
and
what
is
needed
to
help
support
kids
in
our
community.
So
with
me
today
have
Andrea
McDonald
of
England.
She
is
the
director
of
the
local
behavioral
health
authority
and
she'd
like
to
just
say
a
few
words
sure.
T
Hi
good
morning
my
name
is
Andre
McDonald
of
England
I'm,
the
director
at
the
Calvert
County
local
Behavioral,
Health
Authority,
out
of
the
Calvert
County
Health
Department
and
I
would
like
to
thank
you
both
as
the
Director
as
a
social
worker
as
a
mother
of
two
young
Calvert
County
residents
and
as
a
individual
who
lived
with
mental
illness
as
a
child.
So
I
actually
grew
up,
struggling
with
anxiety
and
depression
and
ADHD,
and
so
I
know
firsthand
what
it's
like
to
be
a
youth
that
struggles
with
their
mental
health.
T
My
children
Also
are
both
neurodiverse,
and
so
they
are
individuals
living
here
in
our
County
who
learn
a
little
bit
differently
and
who,
whose
brains
May
function
slightly
differently
than
what
would
be
considered
average
so
again,
I.
Thank
you
with
multiple
hats
today
for
the
acknowledgment
of
the
importance
of
children's
mental
health
month
awareness
month
and
children's
mental
health
awareness
week,
we're
in
unprecedented
times.
T
I
can't
tell
you
the
number
of
times
I've
heard
that
over
the
past
couple
of
years
years,
but
it
is
the
truth
and
when
we're
talking
about
youth,
mental
health
Co,
the
covid-19
pandemic
had
extreme
impacts
on
the
health
of
our
children's,
our
children's
emotional
health,
the
isolation,
the
stress,
the
fear
and
and
the
trauma
everything
that,
when
it
has
gone
on
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
has
really
brought
youth
mental
health
to
the
Forefront.
But
at
the
same
time.
T
So
while
we're
acknowledging
more
and
we're
a
lot
more
aware
of,
the
importance
of
this
kids
are
struggling
more
than
they
have
in
recent
years
as
well.
And
so
we've
got
kids
that
struggle
with
regulating
their
emotions
and
their
feelings.
We
have
children
who
are
struggling
with
social
skills
and
knowing
what
to
do
in
social
situations,
all
while
being
at
the
developmental
period,
where
those
are
the
most
important
things
for
them
is
having
social
interactions
and
learning
from
each
other
and
from
new
adults
around
them.
T
T
We
have
supportive
resources
for
individuals
with
with
and
without
insurance,
and
we
really
do
have
a
lot
of
stakeholders
who
care
about
the
the
the
the
mental
health
of
our
youth
here
in
the
county
and
so
we're
lucky
in
that
sense
as
well,
and
then
I
would
also
just
like
to
bring
attention
to
at
our
state
legislature.
T
You
know
potential
directors
of
Community
Resources,
so
this
is
this:
is
our
future
community,
so
the
importance
of
ensuring
that
we're
bringing
them
up
to
the
best
of
our
ability
with
health
and
Wellness,
to
give
them
the
best
future
possible
we'll
give
Calvert
County
the
next
best
future
possible
as
well.
So
again,
like
I,
said,
thank
you
so
much
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
from
all
of
us
at
the
health
department
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Come.
AC
AC
Well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
you
do.
This
is
something
we
cannot
just
set
aside.
We
we
have
to
do
more
resource
sorts,
and
we
just
have
to
do
more
for
this
week
and
everything
so
like
Julie
said
if
we
missed
one
of
the
opportunities
to
get
in
there.
We
do
have
today
from
two
to
four
at
Duke
Street
and
we
have
May
10th
at
audit
community
centers.
AC
May
7th
through
the
13th
2023,
to
raise
awareness
about
children's
mental
health
and
whereas
students,
School
staff,
government
employees
and
all
citizens
are
invited
to
decorate
sidewalks
and
pavement
with
messages
and
pictures
of
Hope
and
support
to
encourage
conversations
about
mental
health
and
well-being.
Now,
therefore
be
complained
by
all
Board
of
County
Commissioners,
the
Calvert
County
the
month
of
May
to
be
known
as

AC
Z
AD
Morning,
commissioner,
Jared
Cosgrove
acting
director
of
Public
Works
Public
Works,
would
like
to
thank
you
for
recognizing
the
drinking

here
at
Paula

We
do
take
it
to
a
higher
level
to
make
sure
we
provide
the
quantity
and
quality
of
drinking
water
to
our
community.
It
is
a
vital
resource
that
both
the
government
and
the
county
need
to
make
sure
we
maintain
for
our
future
Generations
by
doing
a
proper

the
year.
Thank

AC
AC
So
with
that
being

whereas
water
is

most
valuable
natural
resource.
Drinking

vital
role
in

essential

AC
AE
I'm
Anthony
Barone
of
the
Patuxent
High
School
principal
and
I'm,
blessed
to
have
Keith
Powell
on
our
staff.
Like
you
said
he's
not
only
the
baseball
coach
he's
also
our
athletic
director,
so
he
sets
a
standard
for
our
coaches
and
mentoring,
young
coaches
that
are
coming
in
by
example,
Every
Spring.
He
was
winning
ball
games
long
before
I
was
there
and
I
knew
him.
As
a
teacher,
a
fellow
teacher
then,
and
like
I
said,
he's
been
doing
this
for
a
long
time
and
doing
it
with
Excellence,
so
I'm
happy
to
have
him
on
my
staff.
C
Well,
coach-
and
you
heard
me
say
this
morning:
just
don't
even
touch
it
little
history.
So
when
I
was
a
kid
growing
up
in
Lusby,
we
didn't
have
a
high
school,
we
didn't
even
have
a
middle
school.
I
went
to
Southern
the
very
first
year
that
it
opened.
I
was
in
eighth
grade
sports
program.
What's
that
you
know
you
wouldn't
even
have
enough
kids
to
field
a
team
you'd
grab
your
little
brother
little
sister,
sometimes
put
a
hat
on
a
thumb
in
right
field.
C
Just
so,
you'd
have
to
Forfeit
the
game,
you
know
and
we
kind
of
have
a
little
chip
on
our
shoulders,
sometimes
down
there.
To
be
quite
honest,
you
know,
because
you
know
it
was
the
smallest
part
of
the
county.
There
wasn't
a
lot
of
people
down
there
and
we
became
very
tight.
You
know
and
Coach
what
you
in
that
school
and
your
staff's
been
able
to
do
is
really
rally
this
town
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
when
they
go
to
the
playoffs.
There's
people
standing
on
on
the
street
there
waving
at
the
bus.
C
You
know
when
they
travel
my
son.
We
were
sitting
there
and
he's
like
Dad
there's
so
many
more
but
talks
of
people
here
than
over
there.
That's
just
how
it
is
whether
it's
at
the
Ravens
Stadium
Blue,
Crabs
Annapolis,
wherever
that
team
goes
or
there's
baseball
football,
anything
with
packs
ROTC.
The
community
is
so
involved,
and
we
have
you
to
thank
for
that.
You
know
you.
You
guys
said
it's.
You
know
when
young
kids
come
up
there,
the
older
kids
on
their
own
time
will
go
out
of
their
way.
Show
them
the
ropes.
C
You
know,
show
them
where
things
are
help
them
about
it's.
Just
it's
just
a
culture.
It's
just
so
hard
to
explain
and
I've
learned
from
you
guys.
You
know
because
I'm,
a
spectator
and
a
fan
I'm
watching
and
I'm,
you
know
and
the
kids
get
hurt.
They
help
each
other
up.
I've,
never
one
time
ever
seen
the
kids
holler
at
each
other.
You
know
you
sometimes
see
in
sports
and
no
the
respect
level
with
their
parents
with
the
coaching
staff.
It's
just
it's
just
truly,
it's
just
truly
a
great
thing:
it
really.
C
It
really
is,
and
this
year
I
know
we're
gonna
win.
It
all
we
were
close
you've
heard
Sports
is
a
game
of
inches
I'm
telling
you
it
was.
It
was
this
close
you're
just
watching
and
I
mean
it
was
just
this
close,
so
I'm
telling
you.
If
we
play
that
team
10
more
times,
we'll
beat
them
10
times,
I'm
telling
you
that
they
are
just
outstanding
programs.
They
really
are
so
I'm
gonna
and
also
to
coach
krounce
was
put
into
the
Hall
of
Fame.
C
Recently
I
mean
it's
just
it's
just
phenomenal,
just
phenomenal.
So
this
is
whereas
coach,
Keith
Powell
has
been
recognized
as
a
district
four
coach
of
the
year
coaching
is
a
profession
that
requires
passion,
dedication
and
the
ability
to
inspire
young
athletes
to
achieve
their
full
potential.
Coach
Powell
became
the
head
baseball
coach
at
Patuxent,
High
School
in
Spring
of
2003,
after
working
as
an
assistant
coach,
the
previous
year
prior
to
that
he
coached
middle
school
for
three
years
and
won
two
championships
in
2002-22
I'm.
C
You
know
you
show
up
at
night
his
staff
they're
out
there
helping
the
kids.
Sorry,
it's
like
so
much
to
you
just
can't
get
in
there.
I
mean
when,
when
a
kid
looks
at
looks
and
goes,
wow
coach
is
doing
the
field.
You
know
I
mean
it's
you're,
never
going
to
hear,
not
my
job
down.
There,
I
mean
it's,
it's
it's

Additionally,
three
of
his

First

athlete
at
George
Mason
University
over
40
of
his

total,
have
gone
on
to
play
college
baseball,
which
is
a
remarkable
accomplishment
and
whereas
Coach
Powell
currently
resigns
in
Lusby
and
holds
multiple
roles
of
Patuxent
High
School.
He
is
not
only
the

C

A
S
So,
while
waiting,
oh
there's,
the
slides.
AF
S
For
our
new
Commissioners
I
tend
to
break
up
my
segments
with
photos,
I
take
either
locally
or
in
travels
here
and
there.
My
theme
this
time
is:
farmers,
markets
and
I
want
to
put
a
plug
out
for
our
local
farmers
markets
for
everybody
in
TV
Land
to
certainly
consider
the
next
time
that
they
need
their
produce
to
go.
We
have
four
farmers
markets
in
the
county
plus
we
have
produce
stands
that
are
scattered
around
on
Saturdays
and
anyone.
S
Correct
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
Lusby
and
North
Beach
have
farmers
markets
on
Saturdays
in
Prince,
Frederick
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays

keep
yourself
and
your
families
healthier

local

local
small
businesses.

S
Review
our
County
rankings
new
rankings
come
out
in
April
of
every
year
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we
have
maintained
our
top
tier
ranking
about
a
decade
ago.
S
We
were
middle
of
the
pack
and
we've
been
consistently
fourth
fifth
healthiest
county
in
the
state,
it's
Frederick
Carroll
and
Calvert
that
are
kind
of
clustered
in
there
and
then
we're
hoping
to
overtake
Montgomery
and
Howard
at
some
point
in
the
future,
and
so
there
are
still
areas
that
we
certainly
have
room
for
improvement,
but
I
will
say
that
smoking
rates,
although
still
higher
than
certainly
Dr
Folsom
or
any
healthcare
provider,
would
like
to
see,
is
appreciably
lower
than
we
were
looking
at
a
year
ago.
It's
almost
half
of
the
smoking
rate.
S
When
you
go
back
a
decade
ago,
obesity
rates
are
probably
our
biggest
thing
to
work
on,
but
last
year
it
was
36
percent.
So
we
have
nudged
down
a
little
bit
and
Dr
folsom's
team
is
work
working
with
our
local
clinicians
and
a
lot
of
Outreach
with
organizations
across
the
county
and
at
health
fairs.
To
try
to
help
people
to
maintain
healthier
weight.
S
Excessive
drinking
is
something
we
certainly
could
do
better
as
well,
and
that's
defined
as
two
or
more
drinks
a
day
or
binge
drinking,
which
is
five
or
more
drinks
a
day
at
least
once
a
month
and
injury
deaths.
Just
a
Nuance
on
that.
So
we're
a
little
bit
lower
than
average
injury.
Deaths
used
to
be
primarily
car
crashes
but
as
I'm
sure
everyone's
aware
over
the
last
decade
has
become
more
and
more
a
reflection
of
Overdose
deaths
and
now
we're
seeing
three
times
more
overdose
deaths
than
we
are
car
crash
fatalities.
So.
S
That's
a
tremendous
accomplishment,
we'll
keep
you
know
so
many
people
so
much
healthier
over
time.
I
do
want
to
put
this
data
and
all
the
data
that
comes
through
these
County
Health
rankings
are
several
years
old.
Just
because
of
the
way
the
reporting
goes
and
our
overdose
death
rates
in
our
County
and
I'll
talk
more
specifically
in
a
few
moments
have.
Can
you
continue
to
decline,
which
is
a
in
variance
to
what's
happening
across
the
country
where
we
continue
to
see
increased
rates?
S
So
my
expectation
is
that
over
the
next
two
years,
as
the
numbers
start
to
reflect,
what
we're
seeing
over
the
last
couple
years,
that
our
injury
death
rates
will
continue
to
decline
where
we're
doing
great
Team
births,
we
have
the
third
lowest
rate
of
Team
births
in
the
state.
We
have
the
lowest
child
mortality
rate
in
the
state.
S
S
I
do
want
to
note
that,
certainly
for
for
suicide,
as
when
we
talk
about
overdoses,
you
know
in
the
ideal
world
we
would
be
looking
at
zero
but
relative
to
other
jurisdictions
in
the
state
we
have
one
of
the
lowest
suicide
rates
in
the
state
and
I
know
you
just
had
a
presentation
earlier
about
child
mental
health
awareness
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
Behavioral
Health
in
general.
There
were
tremendous
amount
of
efforts
going
on
in
the
county
to
continue
to
improve
we're,
not
satisfied.
S
S
S
This
is
a
fish
market
in
Greece
and
I
I.
Don't
think
that
we
can
really
appreciate
what's
happening
locally
and
unless
we
put
it
in
context
of
what's
Happening
across
the
country.
So
this
is
a
graph
looking
back
to
1980
of
life
expectancy
in
the
U.S
relative
to
10
other
high-income
countries.
These
are
primarily
European
countries,
but
also
Japan
and
Australia.
S
And
then
you
can
see
that
dramatic
drop
off
actually
the
first
time
since
World
War
II
that
in
this
country
we've
seen
a
decline
in
life
expectancy
happened
with
covet
in
2020,
and
that
did
not
have
to
happen
at
least
to
that
extent,
because
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
average
of
the
other
10
countries,
they
did
have
a
little
bit
of
a
dip,
but
it
wasn't
nearly
as
steep
and
they
were
covered
within
a
year.
So
it's
not
because
other
countries
spend
more
on
health
care.
S
There
are
lots
of
reasons
why
we
struggle
the
way
that
we
do,
but
one
of
those
is
certainly
that
we
spend
very
little
in
preventing
health
problems
and
we
spend
a
whole
lot
on
treating
people
after
health
problems
begin.
So
we
spend
twice
as
much
per
capita
on
Health
Care
in
this
country
as
those
other
10
countries
as
an
average
and
just
drilling
down
a
little
bit
more.
What
happened
during
since
2020
is
about
half
of
that
million
excess
deaths
were
directly
related
to
covet,
and
the
other
half
were
primarily
attributable
to
behavioral
health
problems.
S
C
S
So
those
are
the
statisticians
epidemiologists
at
CDC,
and
you
know,
and
and
these
have
been
calculated
Hopkins
was
keeping
track
of
things
and
Mayo
Clinic
and
those
kind
of
places
as
well.
So
the
the
age
adjusts,
meaning
that,
if,
if
you
have
a
population
where
you
have
nothing
but
seniors,
certainly
you're
going
to
see
death
rates
different
than
if
you
have
populations
that
are
primarily
younger
people,
so
I'm,
not
sure
I'm.
Exactly
answering
your
question.
AG
S
And
then
just
I
think
most
people
are
familiar
so
just
very
quickly.
2020
and
2021
covid
was
the
third
leading
cause
of
death
in
this
country
numbers
and
then
unintentional
injuries
which
again,
are
primarily
drug
overdoses.
At
this
point
in
time,
numbers
for
2022
just
came
out
this
past
week.
Kova
deaths
have
decreased
over
this
past
year
and
overdose
deaths
continue
to
increase
so
for
2022.
Unintentional
deaths
now
rank
third
behind
heart
disease
and
cancer
and
Coba
deaths
rank
fourth,
so
still
appreciable.
S
What
we're
dealing
with
covet
so
a
bit
of
good
news
out
of
all
this,
at
least
relative
to
our
counterparts
around
the
state
and
other
parts
of
the
country.
The
Calvert
has
the
lowest
rate
of
covet
hospitalizations
and
coveted
deaths
out
of
any
of
the
24
jurisdictions
in
Maryland,
Calvert
residents
were
50
percent,
less
likely
to
be
hospitalized
as
a
result
of
covid.
S
So
infection
did
not
spread
the
way
that
we
saw
in
a
lot
of
other
nursing
homes
around
the
state
and
when
the
federal
government
contracted
out
vaccinations
to
CVS
and
Walmart,
they
fell
flat
very
quickly
and
our
physicians
and
our
nurses
were
right
there
within
literally
a
day
or
two
to
jump
in
and
start
providing
vaccinations
to
a
nursing
home,
assisted
living
staff
and
residents.
So
that
was
a
huge
Plus
for
us.
Our
primary
care
providers
around
the
county
were
early
adopters
of
office-based
Cova
testing.
S
That
was
not
the
norm
around
the
state
around
the
country.
So
most
places
people
were
going
to
these
Mass
test
sites,
and
you
probably
remember
when
it
was
taking
three
or
four
days
to
get
results
back
well.
Those
people
were
going
without
any
medical
attention
during
all
that
time
here
in
the
county,
if
somebody
had
diabetes,
somebody
had
congestive
heart
failure:
COPD
they
were
seeing
their
their
doctor.
We
were
making
sure
Dr
Folsom
did
a
great
job
with
this,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
local
practices
had
test
kits
that
they
needed
on.
S
Nobody
ever
ran
out
of
test
kits,
people
could
get
a
rapid
test
and
then,
if
they
were
waiting
for
a
PCR
that
they
were
still
having
their
diabetes
managed,
they
were
having
their
COPD
address.
That
kept
people
out
of
the
hospital
and
I
will
say
that
we
probably
had
the
best
educated
clinicians
in
the
state
because
weekly
we
were
keeping
up
with
all
the
research
out
of
the
major
institutions.
S
What
was
coming
down,
and
not
just
domestically
but
overseas,
and
we
were
talking
back
and
forth
to
make
sure
everything
from
the
pediatricians
to
people
taking
care
of
our
seniors
were
up
to
date
on
what
the
latest
improvements
were.
So
that
again
we
could
keep
everybody
healthier
our
health
department,
capitalize
on
relationships
that
we
have
and
Forge
New
Partnerships
with
minority
organizations
with
religious
congregations,
senior
centers
and
congregate
housing
areas
again
to
help
so
for
religious
congregations.
S
How
do
you
make
sure
that
when
people
come
together
that
you're
minimizing
the
potential
for
spread
a
virus,
letting
organizations
educate
people
who
were
members
there,
so
they
could
make
decisions
to
keep
themselves
healthier?
We
had
lots
of
Outreach
vaccination
clinics
with
these
Partnerships.
All
those
things
went
went
wonderfully
yes,
yes
and
we're
building
on
that
with
with
the
programs
that
Dr
Folsom
is
doing
with
chronic
disease
for
our
environmental
health
department,
they
work
with
the
County's
economic
development
team
to
work
with
local
businesses
and
that
included.
Zoom
calls
with
business
owners
and
managers.
S
S
We
had
about
a
dozen
different
one-pagers
that
was
really
individualized,
so
people
could
really
take
good
measures
and
keep
their
staff
healthy,
because
if
you
don't
have
a
Workforce,
you
can't
open
your
doors
and
we
did
differ
in
other
ways,
including
vaccination
by
health
risk,
which
we
were
able
to
do
because
of
such
great
Partnerships
between
public
health
and
our
private
providers
that
in
most
counties
they
were
just
doing
it
by
age
and
people
who
were
didn't
need
an
age
criteria
but
had
significant
underlying
health
problems
were
denied
vaccinations
at
those
points.
S
So
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that,
although
coveted
case
counts,
are
much
lower.
Dr
Olson
I
do
not
have
masks
on
today.
That
does
not
mean
that
covet
is
gone
and
we
still
need
to
take
precautions.
So
we
were
talking
hundreds
of
cases
a
week
in
the
past.
Now
we're
talking
dozens
of
cases
a
week,
and
this
is
hospitalization
rates
going
back
through
the
entire
three
years.
S
This
is,
and
then
19th
century
railway
station,
which
is
no
longer
a
railway
station
in
Portugal
and
the
reason
actually,
the
primary
reason.
I
keep
up
with
my
code.
Boosters
is
to
prevent
long
covet,
so
I
don't
have
any
chronic
health
problems.
If
I
got
coveted,
it's
unlikely
I'd
end
up
in
the
ICU,
no
guarantee
but
unlikely,
but
long
covet
is
miserable
for
people
who
get
it,
and
we've
talked
about
this
before,
but
I
think
this
Bears
repeating
in
children.
Studies
are
showing
about
five.
S
Maybe
10
percent
of
children
are
have
ongoing
symptoms,
usually
for
tea
problems,
focusing
and
concentrating
for
adults,
it's
more
like
10
to
15
percent
and
as
you
get
older,
the
potential
for
long
coveted
symptoms
continues
to
increase
along
that
Spectrum.
There
was
a
study
recently
out
of
UCLA
that
showed
that
72
percent
of
people
with
long-term
symptoms
after
covet
initially
had
just
a
mild
to
moderate
infection.
C
Hey
Doc
talking
about
prevention,
now,
I've
never
seen
this
stuff
shouldn't.
They
still
go
back
to
eating
right
and
exercising
absolutely
we're.
Just
talking
about
farmers
markets
out
there
eating
fresh,
healthy
food
and
extra
I
mean
no
disrespect
to
shots
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
the
healthier
the
body
is
I
mean
absolutely.
S
So
for
long
term,
because
we
don't
know
what
the
future
is
going
to
bring
in
terms
of
viruses
and
epidemics
and
pandemics,
that
people
should
be
thinking
about
the
ever-present
potential
for
heart
attacks
for
strokes.
Many
cancers
are
predicated
on
poor
diet
or
obesity
and
so
most
of
the
most
common
breast
cancer.
Colon
cancer
lung
cancer,
more
smoking.
S
But
there
are
things
that
we
put
in
our
bodies
and
which
dramatically
increase,
but
in
the
short
term,
because
if
somebody
is
let's
say:
70
pounds:
overweight,
they're
not
going
to
lose
70
pounds
between
now
and
flu
season,
they
can
get
started
and
they
might
be
able
to
take
off
10,
maybe
15,
that
they
can
sustain
and
continue
from
there.
But
you
know
it's
really
important
at
this
point
to
still
maintain
with
vaccines.
So
it's
that
dual.
S
AF
Far
greater
risk
and
not
to
diminish
the
benefits
of
healthy
foods
and
exercise
and
activity,
but
there
are
certain
conditions,
even
the
Euler's
downloads,
folks
that
were
here.
There
are
certain
conditions
that
are
just
genetically.
You
know
going
to
be
present
for
those
folks,
and
that
puts
them
at
greater
risk
for
a
whole
host
of
things
and
so
again
not
to
dismiss
diet
and
exercise,
because
that's
something
I'm,
a
huge
proponent
of
you
know
healthy
eating,
but
ultimately
those
inborn
things.
We
really
can't.
C
S
Right
so
and
then
so
short-term
long
covet
symptoms
fatigue,
shortness
of
breath.
These
are
quality
of
life
problems
which
I
don't
want
to
underscore
that,
because
for
an
eight-year-old
who
is
trying
to
focus
and
concentrate
in
math
class-
and
these
can
be
extremely
problematic,
but
it's
also
the
the
other.
So
you
see
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen.
The
graphic
with
essentially
every
organ
system
in
our
body
is
potentially
can
be
impacted
by
covid.
S
So
now,
we've
had
multiple
studies
that
are
showing
that
people
who
develop
covet
the
year
after
are
much
more
likely
to
be
diagnosed
with
new
onset
diabetes
or
if
they
were
managing
their
diabetes
with
just
medication.
S
Now
they
need
insulin
and
also
about
twice
the
risk
of
heart
attacks,
strokes
and
people
developing
either
asthma
or
COPD
again
unvaccinated
people
are
most
at
risk
for
this
vaccinated
people
are
much
so
I
could
develop
these
long-term
problems
and
then
I
will
put
in
a
plug
that
everyone
should
get
a
bivalent
booster,
so
the
bivalence
became
available
last
September.
So
if
anyone's
last
vaccine
was
prior
to
last
September,
they
have
not
yet
received
a
bivalent
and
for
people
who
have
completed
their
initial
vaccination
series
and
they
just
lack
that
bivalent.
S
Now
they
should
not
wait
because
you
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
over
the
next
three
four
months,
while
we're
waiting
for
for
fall
to
roll
around,
and
certainly
that's
the
second
bullet
point
that
for
anyone
65
and
over
or
any
actually
I'm,
sorry
different
bullet
point
for
65
and
over
or
for
those
with
chronic
conditions.
Even
if
you've
already
had
a
bivalent,
the
recommendation
is
to
boost
back
up
again
again
for
those
people
they
almost
certainly
are
touching
base
with
their
Prime,
their
private
doctor
or
nurse
practitioner.
S
That's
a
conversation
that
they
should
have,
whether
they
should
get
another
dose
now
or
whether
it's
okay
for
them
to
wait
until
September
to
get
their
boost
in
Jerusalem
and
then
we'll
get
the
Fentanyl
and
Drug
overdoses.
So
the
graph
that
never
seems
to
want
to
stop,
and
so
the
top
line
is
the
cumulative
number
of
overdoses.
Almost
all
those
you
can
see
over
the
last
several
years
have
been
driven
by
Fentanyl
heroin
started
declining
around
2015
2016,
as
fentanyl
became,
came
on
the.
S
U
S
Will
say
that
that
the
the
ages
that
we
see
the
greatest
overdoses
are
between
about
35
and
55.
for
fatal
overdoses?
We
see,
we
see
fatal
overdoses,
it's
rare
I,
honestly,
I
cannot
recall
the
last
person
under
18
who's
had
a
fatal
overdose
in
our
County,
but
the
younger
somebody
is
the
less
likely
that
overdose
is
to
be
fatal,
but
we
do
see
people
in
their
20s
die
from
overdoses
and
nobody
is
completely
resilient.
I
do
want
to
point
at
the
bottom
of
the
side.
S
It
shows
that
we
reached
our
Peak
and
Calvert
of
Overdose
s
in
2017
last
year
our
number
of
Overdose
tests
was
half
of
what
it
was
five
years
ago
so
and
that's
57
below
the
state
average
in
per
capita
overdose
deaths.
So
again,
just
like
with
suicides
we'd
like
to
see
that
number
zero
in
the
ideal
world,
but
we've
done
a
tremendous
job
as
a
community
driving
those
numbers
down.
Things
could
be
much
worse
and.
S
S
This
is
last
year,
40
overdose
deaths
and
we
had
17,
which
is
now
the
third
lowest
overdose
death
rate
in
the
state
and
when
we
first
started
looking
at
numbers,
which
is
about
eight
or
nine
years
ago,
I
think
we
had
the
sixth
highest
rate
of
Overdose
deaths
in
the
state.
So
we
have
made
more
progress
in
any
other
county
in
the
state
of
Maryland,
and
that
is
in
large
part
because
of
just
a
tremendous
amount
of
efforts
through
our
health
department.
S
Our
health
department,
as
you're
aware,
is
our
County's
largest
behavioral
health
treatment
provider.
We've
done
just
enormous
work
over
the
past
decade,
providing
Outreach
working
with
County
agencies
and
partners
and
integrating
treatment
services
to
provide
a
meaningful,
ongoing
care.
I
think
that
ongoing
is
really
what's
most
critical
and
coordinating.
So
when
somebody
comes
out
of
a
28-day
residential
treatment
center,
they
immediately
can
establish
with
ongoing
care,
because
we
know
the
relapse
rates
are
when
people
are
just
on
their
own
after
they
complete
a
residential
treatment
center.
We
have
same-day
appointments.
S
We
get
people
in
right,
away
and
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
and
for
the
benefit
of
our
new
Commissioners,
two
of
our
programs,
We've
I,
think
one
of
the
things
we've
also
done
is
a
tremendous
job
of
taking
that
broader,
look
societally,
that
we
realize
that
we
have
several
truly
high
risk
groups.
One
of
those
are
our
inmates
in
our
local
detention
center,
where
we
see
at
least
80
percent,
with
behavior
diagnosable
and
treatable
behavioral
health
problems.
S
So
years
back,
we
coordinated
with
the
major
reefs
and
the
staff
at
the
detention
center
with
you
can
see
all
the
community
agencies,
parole
and
probation
department,
social
services,
multiple
County
agencies,
Sheriff's
Office,
to
put
a
much
more
robust
program
in
place,
and
that
has
just
had
tremendous
benefits.
A
lot
of
the
inmates
have
children
and
I'm
talking
like
young
children,
and
so
it's
it's
not
just
that
person
who
needs
a
treatment.
It's
an
impact.
S
Multi-Generationally
and
I
can
I'm
fortunate
not
to
grow
up
in
a
household
with
substance
use,
but
I
treat
patients
directly
and
I
see
the
potential
for
these
kids
when
their
parents
are
struggling
with
drug
use.
Rapid
response
is
our
mobile
crisis
team,
which
works
in
concert
with
both
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
EMS.
U
U
S
In
oh
and
I
will
just
put
in
one
plug
for
one
other
program,
which
is
the
first
sort
of
specialized
program
we
put
in,
which
was
for
pregnant
women
with
substance
use
problems,
because
there
was
Zero
care
for
substance
use
when,
when
I
started
10
years
ago
for
pregnant
women,
they
had
to
go
up
to
Baltimore
to
be
able
to
get
Services.
S
When
we
put
that
program
into
place
about
eight
nine
years
ago,
on
a
on
a
routine
basis,
I
was
carrying
15
20
patients
at
a
time,
treating
them
with
suboxone
or
whatever
they
needed
for
their
substance,
use
that
meant
at
any.
Given
time
we
had
15
or
20
pregnant
women
with
active
substance,
use
problems
in
our
County.
S
One
of
my
patients
delivered
about
six
weeks
ago.
Healthy
baby
baby
did
not
go
on
the
withdrawal
mom's
doing
great
I
now
have
zero
pregnant
patients.
I'm
caring
I
have
some
of
my
postpartum
patients.
Now
we
will
have
some
others
here
and
there,
but
that
is
an
indicator
of
the
type
of
work
that
we've
done.
It's
not
just
patching
somebody,
but
it's
looking
at
their
entire
life,
and
how
do
you
get
them
back
to
education?
How
do
you
get
jobs
for
them?
C
S
Then
I'm
going
to
wrap
up
as
I
kind
of
become
a
tradition
with
tick-borne
illnesses
so
nationally
tick-borne
illnesses
have
doubled
over
the
last
15
years.
Again
we
have
bucked
the
trend
in
Calvert
County.
Most
of
this
increase
has
to
do
with
extended
warm
weather
and
ticks
are
just
out
more,
but
there's
other
factors
that
have
gone
into
that
National
increase.
S
So
you
can
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide
that
2015,
when
we
started
talking
about
this
right
here
at
these
meetings
that
we
had
90
cases
of
lime
that
were
reported,
there
may
be
others
but
90
that
were
reported.
It's
a
reportable
infection,
meaning
if
a
doctor
diagnoses
or
a
lab
they
have
to
report
it
to
the
health
department
into
the
state.
S
So
since
2015
I
think
in
large
part,
probably
almost
solely
due
to
increased
Community
awareness
and
our
providers
being
very
diligent
about
treating
people
that
we
have
dropped
down
from
90
cases
per
year
to
last
year,
we
only
had
32,
so
just
a
reminder
to
everybody
that
Lyme
disease
is
almost
100
preventable.
So,
on
the
top
of
the
slide,
you
can
see
things
that
you
should
be
doing.
I
think
most
important
is
daily
checks.
It
takes
36
hours
once
a
tick
crawls
onto
you
before
it
can
transmit
Lyme
disease.
S
S
Yeah
so
yeah
about.
S
So
those
are
less
defined
and
you
know
searching
through
the
most
current
literature.
It's
still
unclear,
so
there
there
are
about
a
dozen
different
tick-borne
diseases.
Lime
is
certainly
most
prevalent
as
the
last
slide
showed,
or
the
one
before
82
percent
of
tick-borne
infections
are
lime,
but
it
still
leaves
18
that
are
other
things.
So
your
point
is
very
well
taken
about
about
Alpha
gal,
which
is
what's
transmitted
by
lone
stars
and
lone
star
ticks.
S
Can
it
can
transmit
a
few
other
diseases
as
well,
but
certainly
the
sooner
you
get
the
tick
off
the
better.
The
reason
the
36
hours
is
important
is
that
when
the
tick
attaches
first
off
it
takes
about
two
hours
to
really
attach
so
I
was
out
working
in
the
yard.
Over
the
weekend,
close
to
two
hours,
I
was
out.
There
immediately
went
in
just
took
a
shower.
If
at
that
point
it's
likely
that,
especially
for
little
nymphs
that
I'll
just
wash
them
off,
you.
U
S
Because
the
little
nymphs
are
really
hard
to
see
and
find,
but
again
you
know
to
transmit
it
has
to
attach
then
there's
a
whole
elaborate
process
where
it
actually
secretes
all
these
enzymes
to
kind
of
break
through
the
skin,
because
you
know
you
don't
feel
any
of
this.
It's
not
like
it's
like
cutting
and
then
it
regurgitates
from
its
stomach
through
once
it
gets
to
the
blood
vessels.
That's
where
we
see
the
lime
yeah.
S
So
in
all
likelihood,
for
most
of
the
the
virus
and
bacterial-borne
infections
that
are
through
ticks,
it's
going
to
be
the
same
36
hours,
Alpha
gal
is
is
more
complex
because
it's
it's
a
it's
it's
an
allergy
and
that
again
is
less
defined.
So
all
I
would
say
in
that
case
is
the
sooner
you
get
to
tick
off
the
better
and
again
going
back
to
well
I
get
the
tick
in
the
first
place
so
spray
your.
S
These
things
and
I
forgot
to
shave
my
legs
a
day.
I
took
this
picture
so
for
the
benefit
of
everyone.
C
S
You
go
I
I
went
out
intentionally
without
any
deep
figuring.
It
wouldn't
take
very
long
and
sure
enough,
Lone
Star,
you
can
see
a
little
dot
on
there,
lone
star
tick
crawled
up
on
me.
So
we
have
these
two
little
things
that
you
can
buy
at
the
pet
store
for
about
two
three
bucks,
the
little
bit
bigger
one
and
we
have
a
dog
and
we
have
a
yard.
S
S
You
don't
leave
anything
behind
because
it's
not
like
tearing
into
them
you're
just
like
scooping,
as
you
can
see,
you're
scooping
under
and
plucking
them
away
and
just
stick
them
on
a
piece
of
masking
tape
and
you're
done,
and
you
don't
have
to
go
out
and
buy
like
expensive
things
or
anything
again.
You
know
two
three
bucks
at
a
pet
pet
store,
so
I
think
that
is
it
for
my
slides,
yeah,
all
right,
so
I
just
to
wrap.
S
It's
been
a
really
really
hard
last
three
years
or
so
in
in
so
many
respects,
things
could
have
been
a
lot
worse
here,
and
this
is
really
a
tribute
to
the
community
that
we
have,
that
we
have
people
working
together
and
I.
Don't
take
that
for
granted,
because
a
lot
of
places
well
no
place
really
replicated
what
we
were
able
to
do
in
so
many
facets
across.
S
So
it
was,
it
was
businesses,
it
was
public
agencies,
it
was
Private
in
the
medical
field
and
it
was
Community
groups
coming
together
to
make
us
keep
us
healthier
and
prevent
a
lot
of
tragedy
that
you
know.
Fortunately,
we
didn't
have
to
experience
so
that
does
not
to
you
know,
disregard
the
people
who
unfortunately
did
die
because
of
covet
or
have
died
because
of
overdoses,
but
there
are
families
that
are
intact.
There
are
children
that
can
be
with
their
grandparents.
You
know
for
years
to
come,
because
we
did
a
better
job.
A
S
Yeah,
so
it's
it's
a
mixed
bag
with
Cancers
across
the
board.
We
have
some
cancers
like
we
and
we've
talked
about.
S
Breast
cancer,
so
we're
not
the
worst
in
anything,
I
I,
guess
that
showed
up
on
social
media,
but
we
have
certainly
a
higher
than
expected
breast
cancer
rate,
and
there
are
a
few
other
cancers
that
we
have
higher
than
expected.
We've
done
work
with
the
epidemiologists
at
the
state
level
in
the
past,
certainly
no
secret.
Anybody
with
a
nuclear
plant
in
in
our
County.
We
have
you,
know
Naval
facilities
that
there
were
chemicals
used
this
that
and
the
other
we've
looked
geographically.
S
There
is
no
hot
spot
in
our
County,
so
it's
not
like
these
rates
are
concentrated
around
the
nuclear
plant.
They're
not
concentrated
around
the
liquid
natural
gas
plant,
they're
not
concentrated
around
those
other
facilities
where
there's
been
Administration
changeover
up
in
Annapolis
and
Baltimore
legislative
session
just
ended,
so
people
were
busy
and
there's
a
lot
of
turnover
up.
There
I
think
it's
a
time
where
we
will
touch
base
again
with
our
colleagues
up
at
state
level
to
see
if
we
can
delve
back
into
the
stats.
Has
anything
else
changed
over
the
past
few
years.
S
It
might
add
some
more
clues
that
just
weren't
apparent
before
so
as
much
as
I
would
like
to
give
you
here's
the
answer
to
our
question.
But
in
terms
of
our
are
we,
you
know
some
horrible
worrisome
Community
with
cancer.
No,
it's
that's
not
the
case,
and
but
again
we
look
for
opportunities
to
continue
to
make
our
community
healthier
in
you
know,
and
cancer
is
certainly
one
of
those
areas.
S
And
that
again
we
hear
that
all
the
time
right-
and
that
was
one
of
the
first
things
that
we
looked
at
is
you
know
we
looked
at
zip
codes.
We
looked
at,
you
know
anything
that
could
tie
and
there
was
nothing
there
and
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear.
I
have
no
Financial
ties
and
I
have
no
personal
ties
to
anyone
involved
with
whoever
runs
that
place.
So
you.
C
AF
It's
a
huge,
a
huge
topic
of
conversation,
so
we're
working
with
the
health
Educators
at
all
four
of
the
high
schools.
We've
done
health
fairs
in
the
high
schools
as
well
to
try
to
educate
the
youth.
We
actually
started
a
vaping
session
on
Saturday
mornings
once
a
month
for
any
students
that
are
found
vaping.
They
can
be
referred
by
the
school
or
community
members
if
they're
ready
and
willing
to
be
done
with
vaping,
they
can
come
to
these
information
sessions.
It's
about
four
three
to
four
hours
long.
AF
They
learn
about
the
harms
of
vaping
and
and
the
dangers,
but
they
also
learn
about
coping
strategies.
Refusal
skills,
how
to
prepare
for
the
next
time
that
they
may
be
offered
a
vape,
or
maybe
you
know
enticed
to
to
do
that.
But
the
health
Educators
have
been
a
huge
partner
for
us
in
in
the
school
system,
so
we'll
continue
to
work
with
them.
We
have
a
tobacco
and
cancer
Coalition
that
meets
quarterly.
AF
It's
always
a
topic
of
conversation
at
that
meeting
and
that
is
based
off
of
the
community
health
needs
assessment,
which
you
probably
are
all
aware,
is
happening
this
year.
So
the
hospital
has
to
do
it
in
order
to
stay
accredited.
We
have
been
Partners
in
the
development
of
that
Tammy,
Halterman
and
myself
have
been
involved
for
weeks,
if
not
longer,
and
discussions
about
how
to
roll
that
out
so
it'll
be
that'll,
be
coming
out.
AF
Today
we
have
things
like
the
women's
health
Expo,
the
men's
health
Expo,
so
Women's
Health
Expos
today
men's
health
Expo
is
June
6th
and
those
are
other
opportunities
where
families
can
come
through.
Teens
can
come
through
if
parents
are
concerned
about
their
teens,
vaping
or
doing
other
unhealthy
behaviors.
You
know
that's
a
great
opportunity.
It's
a
non-judgmental,
you
know
situation
where
you're
going
through
an
expo
or
a
fair
and
people
might
be
a
little
bit
more
willing
to
kind
of
pick
up
a
brochure
or
pamphlet
at
that
point.
So.
AF
Not
very
well
attended,
I
will
say
that,
had
we
had
more
referrals,
probably
from
the
schools
for
youth
that
were
caught,
so
they
were
basically
given
an
option
to
do
an
in-school
suspension
or
the
class
and
oftentimes
a
Saturday
morning.
Class
is
probably
not
what
is
going
to
be
selected
over
an
in-school
suspension.
We
do.
D
AF
AF
We
are
going
on
Hiatus
for
the
summer.
We
typically
will
do
that
with
some
of
our
classes,
not
just
the
tobacco
and
vaping
stuff.
We
don't
see
a
great
enrollment
over
the
summer
months
for
a
lot
of
the
classes.
People
are
not
really
concerned
about
doing
some
of
those
healthier
behaviors
when
they're
planning
trips
and
you
know
doing
fun
things.
So
our
next
planned
tobacco
and
vaping
session
for
the
Youth
is
going
to
be
probably
this
September
when
school
resumes.
AF
Yeah,
so
we
work
with
Chris
canode
who's
in
charge
of
nursing.
We
work
with
Mr
Kurtz
who's
in
charge
of
student
services,
all
the
health
Educators
we
meet
with
routinely
and
and
those
are
really
the
people
that
we
work
sort
of
more
one-on-one.
With
with
these
things,
our
health
Educators
actually
is
a
part
of
their
curriculum.
They
speak
about
vaping
and
they
talk
about
the
dangers
and
how
to
cope
and
how
to
have
refusal.
Skills
I
will
tie
it
back
to
the
anxiety
depression
issues
that
a
lot
of
our
youth
are
having.
AF
You
know,
they're
reaching
for
something
as
a
quick
fix,
I
think
in
general,
people
like
a
quick
fix
right,
it's
harder
to
fix
the
underlying
anxiety
or
depression
that
might
be
going
on
so
they'll,
you
know,
start
vaping
or
they
might
start
doing
other
things.
So
we
really
want
to
impress
upon
people
healthy
coping
strategies.
How
can
you
get
through
stressors
in
your
life?
AF
You
know
without
having
to
reach
for
something
that
could
be
potentially
dangerous
to
your
health,
so
those
are
other
things
that
the
health
educators
are
teaching
them,
while
in
those
classes
and
our
our
role
really
is
to
sort
of
make
sure
that
they're
getting
that
reinforcement
and
know
that
our
team
is
there
to
help
them.
We
actually
coordinate
with
Dr
Gali
at
sados,
he's
actually
coming
down
tomorrow,
he's
a
pulmonologist
from
Hopkins.
AF
U
S
So
they're
there
are
multiple
Registries
that
are
National,
that
track
side
effects
from
vaccinations
and
to
this
point
fortunately,
covered
vaccine
has
been
extremely
safe.
There's
no
vaccine,
that's
100,
safe
correct,
but
we're
talking
risks
like
one
in
a
hundred
thousand
people
to
have
some.
S
S
Well,
if,
if
they
got
a
vaccine
a
week
ago,
did
the
vaccine
cause
it
or
would
they
have
just
developed
it
anyway?
And
so
when
they
take
a
look
through,
these
I
mean
they
have
epidemiologists
who
are
dedicated
to
doing
this,
and
so
what
they're
looking
at
is
they're
comparing
to
general
population.
S
Are
we
seeing
a
greater
incidence
and
people
have
gotten
vaccinated
versus
people,
somebody's
gonna
get
into
a
car
crash
today
we
certainly
wouldn't
say
because
you
got
a
vaccine
a
week
ago
that
caused
you
getting
a
car
crash,
but
you
know
so
it's
always
a
comparator,
and
at
this
point
again
we
know
there's
a
very
small
subset.
There
are
problems,
things
like
Guillain-Barre
that
are
close
to
one
in
a
million,
but
we
can
you
know
because
so
many
people
get
vaccinated.
S
About
so
there's
something
else
right:
the
the
Johnson
Johnson
vaccine
in
particular
there
was
there,
was
some
increase
in
Costa,
so
we're
talking
like
one
in
ten
thousand
or
less
almost
no
one
got
the
J
J
vaccine,
almost
everyone's
gotten,
the
others
and-
and
so
we
haven't
seen
any
new
new
side
effects
that
were
not
reported
in
the
first
six
months,
and
that
goes
along
with
every
other
vaccine.
That's
ever
been
rolled
out
from
measles
vaccines
to
tetanus
vaccines.
Is
that
if
we're
going
to
see
problems,
we
see
it
early.
N
S
S
Is
this
just
you
know
somebody
was
going
to
develop
problems
and
the
time
of
the
vaccine
was
just
coincidental
or
did
the
vaccine
actually
cause,
and
so
we
don't
have
Calvert
specific
numbers,
because
they
would
not
be
large
enough
to
help
us
really
determine
the
significance,
but
his
doctor
very
likely
reported
to
the
their
system.
One
of
the
systems
that
Dr
Folsom
had
mentioned
during
that
thank.
AF
You
there
I
mean
there
are
clinics
that
are
developed
for
the
long,
coveted
symptoms
too,
so
for
people
who
are
suffering
from
that
long
covet
that
Dr
polsky
talked
about,
because
that's
what
we're
hearing
in
the
medical
community
that's
more
concerning
is
you
know,
somebody
gets
symptoms,
they
get
a
little
bit
better,
but
then
they
have
that
chronic
fatigue
headaches.
They
continue
to
have
shortness
of
breath.
There
are
entire
clinics
now
devoted
to
that
those
conditions
So
for
anybody
watching
who
may
have
those
symptoms.
AF
A
C
A
Motion
the
second
that
we
adjourn
is
the
Calvert
County
Board
of
Health
and
re-commune
as
the
cowboy
County
Board
of
Commissioners.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion.
Hearing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
opposed
motion
carries.
That
brings
us
to
consent.
There
are
three
items
under
consent
today
on
the
agenda
item:
one
Department
of
Finance
and
budget
health
insurance
subsidy
for
retirees
item,
two
Department
of
Finance
and
budget
health
care
plan
item
three
Office
of
the
County
Administrator
Harry
E
Brown

equipment
budget
adjustment.
A
P
Good
morning,
Commissioners
Mary,
Beth
cook,
director
of
Planning
and
Zoning
with
me,
is
Will
Hager.
He
is
our
planner
three
and
has
been
working
feverishly
on
the
zoning
ordinance
to
get
it
ready
to
get
it
out
to
the
public
so
we're
here
today.
As
a
follow-up,
we
invited
you
to
sit
in
on
the
work
session
with
the
Planning
Commission
in
April.
P
So
if
anybody
wants
to
watch
the
full
presentation,
it
would
be
up
on
the
meetings
on
demand
on
the
County's
website
under
the
planning
commission's
April
meeting,
so
we're
following
up
with
you
today
as
a
work
session
to
get
some
direction
and
support
for
moving
forward
with
the
zoning
ordinance.
We
have
a
draft
schedule
for
that
and
then
also
requesting
to
process
text,
amendments
and
map
amendments
during
the
update
and
not
on
a
one
off
basis,
but
we'll
get
more
into
that
and
he'll.
P
H
Okay
good
morning,
Commissioners
and
we'll
get
right
into
it.
So
staff
conducted
a
Planning
Commission
a
work
session
that
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
were
present
for
on
April
19th.
That
set
the
foundation
for
how
the
comprehensive
plan
and
zoning
ordinance
work
together
to
carry
out
the
vision
and
goals
for
how
the
county
County's
constituents
want
the
county
to
grow
and
develop.
H
The
work
session
reviewed
the
goals
and
objectives
of
this
update
to
set
the
stage
as
we
progress
through
the
future
work
sessions
to
review
the
articles
of
the
draft
for
the
board's
consideration
and
discussion
staff
is
returning
to
the
bocc
to
follow
up
on
action
items
for
the
bocc
to
consider
and
direct
staff
on
how
to
proceed.
Regarding
the
zoning
ordinance,
public
adoption
schedule
and
proposed
tax
amendments
to
consider
all
zoning
ordinance
amendments
through
the
update
process,
instead
of
through
the
current
process.
H
The
County's
comprehensive
plan
was
recently
adopted
in
2019
and
amended
in
2022.
The
project
began
in
2016
since
the
beginning
of
that
project.
County
staff
and
comprehensive
plan
and
the
comprehensive
plan
consultant
conducted
a
zoning
analysis
of
existing
conditions
through
the
confirmation
of
the
County's
Vision.
Through
the
comprehensive
plan
adoption
staff
began
working
on
developing
zoning
recommendations
on
a
draft
ordinance
that
would
bring
the
zoning
ordinance
into
compliance
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
H
Title
IV
of
the
land
use
article
of
the
Maryland
annotated
code.
As
amended
empowers
the
board
of
County
Commissioners
to
enact
a
zoning
ordinance
to
provide
for
its
Administration
enforcement
and
Amendment.
The
zoning
ordinance
is
one
tool
necessary
to
implement
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
zoning
ordinance
is
designed
to
regulate
land
uses.
Many
aspects
of
land
use
can
impact
adjoining
properties,
neighborhoods
public
facilities
and
overall
County
development,
as
mandated.
H
The
comprehensive
plan
to
the
zoning
ordinance
is
adopted
to
regulate
land
uses
as
part
of
the
effort
to
promote
the
health
safety
and
general
welfare
welfare
of
Calvert
County
residents,
ordinance
35-06,
approved
by
the
board
of
County
Commissioners,
adopted
the
current
Calvert
County
zoning
ordinance
in
May
of
2006..
Many
many
tax
Amendments
have
been
adopted,
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
since.
H
So,
due
to
the
complexity
of
the
rollout
schedule,
staff
requests
that
the
bocc
bocc
discuss
and
consider
tax
amendments
that
will
allow
for
zoning
ordinance
changes
to
be
considered
as
part
of
the
update
in
lieu
of
the
current
process.
Until
the
adoption
of
the
new
zoning
ordinance
staff
requests,
the
review
and
approval
of
proposed
public
adoption
schedule.
H
There
will
be
open
public
comment
periods
prior
to
each
joint
work
session
that
will
then
be
compiled,
considered
and
reported
on
as
part
of
the
joint
work
session
periodically
throughout
the
process,
staff
will
host
public
forums
to
allow
for
increased
public
engagement
and
education
and
allow
for
citizen
questions
and
interaction
with
staff,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
on
this
slide
is
our
draft
work
session
schedule.
However,
there
have
been
some
developments
in
Annapolis
that
have
that
may
require
us
to
make
some
adjustments
to
the
specific
articles
and
focus
on
these
dates.
H
P
Then
we
would
have
a
public
forum.
Excuse
me
in
June,
along
with
one
of
the
work
sessions,
so
it's
we're
giving
them
about
a
month.
I
believe,
each
time
we
roll
up
a
section,
then
we
collect
those
comments.
Take
them
to
one
of
the
joint
sessions
with
the
Commissioners
in
the
Planning
Commission,
discuss
those
comments
and
make
any
changes
and,
and
then,
while
we're
rolling
out
the
next
section,
so
it
would
be
like
on
a
rolling
basis.
P
Yet
no
we're
releasing
those
articles
for
the
public
to
review,
and
then
we
would
have
a
session
to
talk
about
that
before
we
meet
with
the
Commissioners
in
the
Planning
Commission,
but
we
also
have
open
Office
hours
so,
while
you're
reviewing
it,
if
you
have
questions,
certainly
the
public
can
call
us
at
any
time.
We
can
talk
through
those
questions
and
then
they
can
submit
their
comments
in
writing
by
email.
A
And
and
I
understand
and
I
think
that
if
my
memory
serves
me
right,
the
comment
that
we
have
gotten
in
the
past
is
that
they
like
to
have
group
discussions.
You
know
they.
If
I
call
you
you
and
I
have
a
discussion
about
my
issue
right.
Somebody
else
may
not
have
thought
of
that
issue.
It
may
have
a
different
opinion.
P
P
P
How
should
we-
and
this
is
that's
already
been
established-
we're
writing
the
regulations
to
meet
those
goals
and
Visions
now
so
I,
you
know,
that's
why
we're
giving
and
I
do
believe
we're
adding
one
in
November
because
we're
going
to
bump
the
force
conservation
to
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we've
realigned
this
a
little
bit
based
on
what
happened
yesterday
in
Annapolis,
but
I
do
believe
we're
going
to
have
ample
time
to
talk
in
a
public
forum
in
at
the
work
sessions
and
then
ultimately,
there's
a
whole
public
hearing
process.
A
R
A
Until
you
release
it,
I
know
that
you
think
you've
got
it
exactly
right,
no
to
release
it
to
the
public
and
they
get
to
see
what
it
says
and
how
it's
going
to
impact
their
lives
and
their
vision
of
Coward
County.
It
becomes
a
whole
new
document
and
my
new
Commissioners
tell
me
that
I'm
tainted
already
that
government,
just
it
just,
doesn't
move
that
fast,
and
this
is
aggressive.
It.
A
Understand
that,
but
you
you
at
one
point
asked
us
to
not
accept
any
more
text
amendments
until
this
is
complete,
and
my
concern
is
if
we
make
that
decision.
We've
locked
the
door
for
longer
than
six
months
and
there
may
be
items
come
up
that
have
to
be
addressed
and
can't
wait,
because,
while
you
think
you're
going
to
be
done
in
January
or
February
of
24
I'm,
not
as
optimistic
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
not
as
optimistic
and
I,
am
concerned
about
the
delay
in
making
changes.
That
may
be
needed.
AC
D
AC
D
A
N
P
Actually
are
using
what
was
done
in
2006
to
adopt
the
zoning
ordinance,
which
was
a
major
rewrite
at
that
time,
and
they
were
successful.
So
that's
why
we
tried
to
mirror
it
as
much
as
possible
and
hope
hoping
for
their
success,
so
I
mean
I
would
absolutely
be
supportive
of
a
time
period
in
which
we
didn't
maybe
not
the
whole,
but
if
we'd
say
Okay,
We're,
Not,
Gonna
and
actually
in
full
disclosure.
P
We
have
a
few
text
amendments
coming
forward,
we're
giving
them
due
process,
because
that
you
know
we
need
a
public
hearing
to
make
this
change.
So
those
will
be
coming
for
to
you.
We
wouldn't
want
to
do
any
more
after
that,
while
we're
going
through
this
process
for
a
certain
period
of
time,
we
can
set
a
time
limit
on
it,
and
but
if
we
don't
do
that,
I
can
assure
you
we're
going
to
add
a
year
to
that.
D
P
AC
A
You
we
definitely
don't
want
you
to
hold
back
okay,
you
know
our
struggle
or
my
struggle
or
who
has
ever
struggled
is
that
when
we
shut
that
door
something's
going
to
pop
up,
you
know,
invariably
it
always
does.
Whenever
you
say,
oh
yeah,
we'd
be
good,
something
always
comes
up
and
I
don't
want
to
legally
tie
our
hands.
Z
Certainly
I
think
for
today's
purposes:
Mary
Beth's
asking
to
go
forward.
Oh
yeah,
a
public
hearing
scheduling
of
public
hearing
said
that
map
and
text
amendments
would
be
suspended
until
a
date
certain
that
date
doesn't
have
to
be
set
today
and
it
doesn't.
The
caveats:
don't
have
to
be
carved
out
today
to.
A
A
So
anyway,
I
today
you're
just
looking
for
guidance
to
move
forward.
Yes,
yes,
I
think
that
I
don't
think
we
need
a
motion
for
that.
I
think
everybody
wants
you
to
start
moving
forward
as
best
you
can,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
has
every
opportunity
to
comment
and
work
through
those
and
I
said
process
wise
as
open
as
that
process
can
be.
We
want
it
to
be
because
you
and
I
having
a
discussion
is
not
like
this
room
full
of
people.
Having
that
same
discussion,
yeah.
P
U
Z
A
Z
Thank
you.
The
board
of
County
Commissioners
adopted
a
resolution
in
1986
and
intending
to
maintain
the
order
and
decorum
of
the
governmental
process.
A
copy
of
that
is
found
here
to
my
right.
The
ethics
commission
has
asked
that
we
remind
speakers
of
public
comment
that
lobbyists
include
those
who
seek
to
influence
public
policy
and
are
required
to
do
so
in
advance.
Floor
has
benefited
for
public
comment
from
persons
in
the
meeting
room.
I
may
begin
making
their
way
to
the
microphone.
Z
Then
those
joining
virtually
all
speakers
are
asked
to
identify
themselves,
whether
speaking
as
an
individual
or
as
the
designated
representative
of
a
group
for
those
attending
virtually
you
may
press
star
nine.
If
you
dialed
in
or
use
the
raise
your
hand
function,
virtual
speakers
will
be
identified
by
the
last
four
digits
of
your
number
or
your
screen
name.
Z
M
Good
morning,
Lynn
Robinson
speaking
as
an
individual,
giving
context
to
the
ongoing
running
hair
dispute,
a
dispute
that
goes
back
to
2018
covedera
when
they
were
hosting
drive-in
movies
and
campouts
County
received
complaints
about
the
large
public
events
investigated.
The
site
inspection
showed
that
there
were
buildings
that
had
not
been
permitted
a
month
later
in
September
of
2020.
They
were
cited,
rightly
so,
for
the
violations
in
October
of
2020
running
hair
began
submitting
paperwork
to
correct
those
violations.
M
So
I
understand
that
they
have
worked
closely
hand
in
hand
with
the
county
for
two
years
to
resolve
them
back
and
forth
collaboratively
with
both
sides
in
good
faith,
all
as
well.
They
were
allowed
to
remain
open
as
long
as
they
worked
in
good
faith
last
year,
I
believe
the
health
department
said
they
needed
after
a
decade
almost
evaporation,
permanent
restrooms,
also
okay,
because
while
all
attention
moved
from
permitting
to
public
restrooms,
they
were
still
allowed
to
remain
open.
While
they
worked
in
good
faith.
M
M
It
is
this
board
that
is
not
keeping
the
the
employees
in
mind
young
professionals
and
teachers
who
earn
hundreds
of
dollars
in
a
weekend
to
supplement
their
incomes,
and
it
is
this
board
that
is
voting
punitively,
so
I
ask
again:
please
consider
the
collateral
impact
of
your
choice
to
close
running
hair.
Thank
you.
I
Good
morning
my
name
is
carola:
Wilson
I
live
in
North,
Beach
and
I'm
speaking
as
an
individual.
It
appears
from
what
I'm
hearing
and
reading
that
running.
Hair
has
actually
complied
with
the
most
of
the
with
most
of
the
County
requirements
and
we're
finally
down
to
some
paperwork
and
approval
that
appears
to
relate
to
these
restrooms.
Yet
they're
still
closed,
they've
missed
their
opening
weekend,
they've
missed
Easter,
not
them,
but
also
the
customers.
I
As
I
stated
last
week,
Mother's
Day
Prime
warm
weather
season
jeopardizing
their
ability
to
assemble
even
hire
a
summer
Workforce
at
this
point,
as
well
as
giving
the
community
the
opportunities
for
employment
in
the
hospice
thing,
I
mean
seriously
I
it
baffles
me
how
in
the
world,
you
could
stop
the
hospice
event
it
just.
It
feels
it
feels
vindictive
like
you're
missing
the
point
of
the
greater
good
for
the
community,
not
just
for
our
entertainment,
but
now
you're
impacting
one
of
the
count
largest
non-profits
in
the
county
and
by
turning
down
the
hospital.
I
This
event
it's
last
minute
and
I
feel
like
it
hurts
hospice
more
than
it's
hurting
running
here,
they're
donating
the
space
and
I
from
what
I
understand
they
were
told
or
had
the
impression
that
they
were
allowed
to
hold
the
event
I
don't
see.
This
is
how
this
is
serving
the
county.
We
vote
for
our
County
officials
that
we
believe
can
get
things
done.
I
We
elect
our
County
officials
for
good
problem
solving
and
we
elect
them
to
serve
the
community
and
to
by
closing
running
hair,
not
letting
them
stay
open,
while
you're
working
through
the
issues
denying
the
hospice
fundraiser.
None
of
those
appear
to
me
to
be
benefiting
the
community,
and
you
know
perception
as
a
public
official
perception,
is
what
matters
come
election
day.
Thank
you.
AG
Hi
I'm
still
nervous
from
last
week,
Alana,
but
now
ignoring
so
I
I
came
last
week
and,
as
I
mentioned,
that
I
was
new
to
the
can
you
please
state
your
name,
oh
sure,
Ilana
I'm.
Sorry,
that's
what
I
did.
AG
Okay!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
First
off
I
will
share
I'm
a
cancer
survivor,
so
I
was
very
pleased
to
to
hear
the
early
early
content
of
the
meeting
and
then
to
jump
to
see
that
hospice,
something
that's
near
and
dear
to
me
that
I
support
for
whatever
reason
from
coming
last
week
to
this
week
that
it
would
not
be
in
our
County
sorry.
It
would
not
be
at
running
here
what
it
was
planned
for.
That's
very
distressing
to
me
and,
however,
the
decision
was
made.
AG
L
It's
been
hosted
for
eight
years,
including
the
last
two
years
when
the
county
issues
were
going
on
and
it
was
allowed
on
good
faith.
Another
issue
I
have
is
I,
understand
that
it's
business
appreciation
week
and
I
looked
at
the
list
of
businesses
and
it
did
not
see
one
agritourism
business
on
that
list.
L
I
thought
that
was
a
little
bit
concerning,
and
the
last
thing
I'd
like
to
say
is
that
it
does
seem
like
there
may
be
some
conflict
of
interest
with
the
board
of
County
Commissioners,
having
maybe
should
recuse
themselves
from
voting
on
some
of
these
things
when
it
comes
to
running
here,
a
vineyard
with
their
personally
owned
businesses,
maybe
indirectly
or
directly
affecting
how
they
would
vote.
Thank
you.
AA
AA
AA
Because
they
have
ongoing
runarounds
with
permits
and
inspections
seriously,
but
I
bet.
You
didn't
know
that
the
county
is
using
running
hair
Vineyard
on
their
own
Economic
Development
website.
With
a
picture
of
a
lady
pouring
wine
in
the
opening
introductory
Economic,
Development
page
hypocritical,
I
would
say
this
is
just
rude
now:
I'm
at
least
a
10th
Generation
member
of
this
community
I'm,
a
Bowen
descendant
my
family
has
lived
in
the
area
of
the
vineyard
for
over
100
years,
and
many
relatives
are
buried
right
down
the
street
in
Asbury
Cemetery.
AA
AA
AA
AA
AA
Can
you
believe
this,
the
hospice,
which
has
helped
and
touched
many
of
us
in
this
room,
Planning
and
Zoning
citizens,
inspections
or
permits?
They
say
it's
you,
you
say
it's
them,
stop
pointing
the
finger
and
open
the
vineyard,
Commissioners
you're
in
charge,
I'm
asking
you
to
vote
right
now,
put
it
on
your
agenda,
open
the
fundraiser
for
hospice
and
open
the
vineyard
for
Mother's
Day.
Our
mothers
deserve.
AH
So
I'm
Bob
Estes
I'm
only
representing
myself
and
commissioner
Hance
I
liked
your
idea
of
potentially
having
a
a
more
public
group
to
discuss
the
ordinances.
I,
know
Planning
and
Zoning
fields
that
they
have
interpreted
the
comprehensive
plan,
but,
quite
frankly,
it's
clearly
going
to
be
their
interpretation
in
their
in
their
environment
and
not
necessarily
one
that
reflects
the
the
county.
For
instance,
you
all
got
something
from
Keith
Calvert
country.
That
shows
the
amount
of
you
know,
development
that
could
potentially
happen
under
this
ordinance.
I
guarantee
you
that
isn't
what
the
community
wants.
AH
You
already
know
that
and
lastly,
an
idea
came
to
mind.
Planning
and
Zoning
has
offered
us
one-on-one
comment
section,
so
we
could
go
talk
to
them.
How
about
a
small
group?
How
about
a
group
of
citizens
say
three,
four:
five,
because
they
come
just
an
idea.
Maybe
keep
it
in
mind?
That's
all!
No!
That's
all
I
have.
A
U
AA
D
A
A
A
A
The
hospice
fundraiser
has
been
on
the
books
at
running
hair
for,
however
long
running
hair
never
contacted
hospice
and
told
them
that
they
had
issues
and
they
might
not
be
able
to
host
the
event
until
last
Thursday
and
at
that
time
they
still
didn't
notify
hospice
that
they
had
this
issue,
that
they
couldn't
hold
the
public
event
and
all
we've
asked
and
for
those
years
the
only
thing
we've
asked
for
them
is
to
address
their
issues
and
people
have
said.
A
Well,
then,
just
let
them
operate,
let
them
keep
going
and
we
have
and
there's
been
little
to
no
progress
made
in
those
years,
and
so
we
have
rules
and
regulations
that
have
to
be
met.
I
know
nobody
likes
the
rules
and
regulations
until
there's
an
impact
and
those
rules
and
regulations
are
in
place
to
protect
Public,
Safety
and
all
we've
asked
is
that
they
follow
the
rules
just
like
99
of
the
other
businesses
in
Calvert
County.
A
That's
always
asked
it's
all
right
and
if
you
want
us
to
look
the
other
way,
then
I
don't
know
where
that
stops.
Once
you
start
just
looking
the
other
way
and
I
think
in
staffs,
you
know,
opinion
they've,
given
them
three
years
to
address
their
issues
three
years
to
address
their
issues.
So
what
whatever
we
had
to
do,
staff
had
to
do
to
get
them
into
compliance
is
what
we
have
to
do.
A
A
You
know
and
I
understand
that
you
all
were
concerned
about
their
closing
and
they're
not
being
able
to
host
these
events,
but
you
know,
as
was
stated,
they
can
hold
all
the
private
events.
They
want
just
the
rules
and
regulations
of
being
in
a
preservation
program
that
they
have
to
follow
and
they
have
to
meet
the
zoning
requirements.
Nothing
is
nothing's
different
than
three
years
ago.
It's
just
at
some
point
in
time.
AC
So
so
let
me
make
it
clear
right
now:
there's
nobody
working
any
hard
on
running
hair
than
myself.
I
just
got
off
the
phone
with
Matt
and
mde.
There's
nobody
working
harder
two
weeks
ago
down
there
at
the
plan
today
the
meeting
with
mde
I'm
on
it
trust
me
we
are
all
working
hard.
We
all
want
this
resolved
today,
it's
going
to
take
some
time,
but
we
are
working
on
it
back
to
my
report.
AC
AC
It's
always
next
week,
so
Friday
I
attended
the
Calverton
Spring
Concert
Mr
Jamie
Hahn
up.
There
is
doing
a
great
job
up
there.
Also
on
Friday
night,
with
President
Hance.
We
attended
Corrections
session
69
graduation.
AC
Also
on
Saturday
myself
in
commissioner
Grasso
attended
the
18th
annual
inspection
inspiration,
walk
with
Calvert
County
Special
Olympics
over
in
North
Beach
also
went
by
Touch
of
truck
in
Huntington
High
School
very
well
attended,
and
it
was
also
my
grandson's
first
birthday
on
Saturday
Sunday
10
at
the
Wine
Garden
fundraise
at
Huntington,
High
School.
AC
D
No
Friday
attended
towards
Jefferson
Patterson
Park
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
park
in
the
past,
but
had
no
idea
what
they
actually
had
in
the
mech
lab
there
and
I
guess
highlight
for
me,
was
a
Blackbeard
ship
was
found,
sunk
somewhere
off
of
Beaufort
and
the
beams
and
a
lot
of
the
pieces
of
construction
from
that
are
in
a
dehydrator
in
the
mech
lab.
There's
a
bottle
of
cannons
and
there's
neat
actually
artifacts
from
all
over
the
country
get
shipped
to
Jefferson,
Patterson
Park
to
that
Mech
lab
for
restoration.
D
D
Yesterday
I
went
to
Calvert
systems
at
20
years
of
anniversary
government
contractor
they're
located
behind
the
play
Park
across
from
Cherry
Lane,
like
I,
said,
there's
a
women-owned
business
started
as
a
women-owned
business.
They
have
120
some
employees
I
forget
over
how
many
states,
but
they're
all
throughout
the
country,
great
staff.
D
It
was
very
nice
talking
to
them
and
honored
them,
for
their
anniversary
also
went
to
Edward
Jones
yesterday
in
Prince
Frederick
their
new
office
for
ribbon
cutting
ceremony
there's
five
gentlemen,
that
pulled
together
from
various
Edward
Jones
companies
or
companies
throughout
the
county,
which
are
actually
19.
I,
had
no
idea.
D
Edward
James
had
that
many
Offices
here
in
the
county,
but
they
pulled
together
and
informed
their
in
office
and,
like
I,
said
it
was
nice
nice
seeing
that
new
business
there
it's
actually
located
between
lion,
Gardener
and
Fox
Run
Shopping
Center
Mr
Smith,
who
came
in
to
receive
the
proclamation
this
morning
again
he's
a
U.S,
Coast,
Guard
auxiliary
guy
has
been
there
for
years
and
years
great
guy.
They
will
help
you
with
boat
inspections,
make
sure
your
life
jackets
safety
equipment
everything's.
D
In
order
and
as
a
proclamation
said,
the
majority
of
of
fatalities
on
the
water
happen
because
of
poor
poor
planning.
I'm
gonna
talk
about
tennis
courts,
pickleball
courts,
real
quick.
We
received
numerous
numerous
emails.
Numerous
phone
calls
we've
attended
numerous
meetings,
a
lot
of
your
tennis
players
play
Pickleball
back
and
forth.
D
Commissioner,
Cox
and
I
have
had
several
meetings
and
entertained
a
lot
of
emails
and
a
lot
of
phone
calls.
We
had
a
plan
at
Holland,
Point
Park
to
try
to
go
50,
50.
and
and
my
thought
on,
the
tennis
and
pickleball
courts,
which,
if
we
did
so,
would
stop
the
tennis
players
from
being
able
to
have
tournaments
at
Halloween
Point
Park
under
a
lighted
Court.
Therefore,
we're
not
doing
that
the
pickleball
players
still
have
access
to
those
courts,
their
temporary
courts,
but
we're
putting
something
in
the
works
for
the
pickleball
community.
D
So
there
will
be
permanent
Courts
at
Halloween
point
it's
in
the
infancy
stages,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
move
forward
as
hard
as
we
can
with
it
just
to
get
those
those
pickleball
courts
there
and
hopefully
we're
looking
at
end
of
July
August
time
frame
of
actually
having
the
first
Soul
pickleball
courts
in
the
county
at
Halloween,
Point
Park.
So
we're
working
on
that
again.
I
attended
the
the
pickleball
court
or
I'm.
D
D
We've
learned
a
lot
through
emails
through
meetings
through
phone
calls
and
we're
trying
to
do
what
we
can
to
to
reach
that
balance,
and
that's
all
that,
oh
one
more
thing:
I
support,
hospice,
100
percent,
100
percent,
all
right
and
that
well
I
know
Catherine
was
everybody
on
this
board?
Does
so
hospice
is
not
the
issue
here
guys
and
we
need
to
get
that
off
the
tape
so
to
speak.
We
really
do
okay.
C
I'm
not
good
keep
my
mouth
shut,
but
you
know
everybody
up
here
has
been
touched
by
hospice.
Okay,
my
pop-up
was
there
my
uncle
was
there
okay?
So
please,
let's,
let's
not
go
down
that
road.
I
personally
donated
and
I
don't
announce
things
like
that.
I
do
because
it's
immaterial
I
do
what
I
do
in
those
things,
because
it's
what
I
feel
like
I
should
do,
and
nobody
on
this
board
wants
to
see
anybody
unsuccessful
I've
been
part
of
this
thing
for
a
long
time.
C
I
remember
sitting
down
with
people
from
there
and
no
one
has
to
believe
me.
It's
fine,
okay!
You
really
don't
okay,
you're,
not
getting
my
Integrity
for
48
000
a
year
or
a
food
or
any
of
those
kind
of
things,
sat
down
with
a
representative
from
there
and
I
will
leave
their
name
out
of
it.
I,
listen
to
everything
they
had
to
say.
I,
said:
okay,
I'm
going
to
send
my
County
Administrator
Public
Works
person.
C
My
plan
is
the
only
person
if
someone
there
to
take
in
our
County
attorney
to
take
notes
of
everything,
and
you
know
what
they
said
to
me.
Mr,
commissioner
you're.
Not
the
first
time
someone's
asked
us
to
happen,
but
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
it
again
and
we've
gone
several
in
several
in
several
times.
Okay,
trust
me
I,
want
it
resolved,
okay,
just
as
they
do,
and
everybody
else
does.
C
Nobody
wants
to
see
anybody
not
doing
well,
but
you
cannot
have
a
rule
for
one
person
and
not
the
other
in
no
way
shape
or
form.
Can
you
ever
say?
Well,
it's
okay
for
you,
but
it's
not
okay.
For
that
one
things
will
get
fixed,
they
will
get
fixed,
but
you
have
to
be
fair.
You
know
in
a
small
town
and
and
John
McGuffin
understands
a
small
town.
C
If
I
look
the
other
way
for
somebody
that
I
knew
or
went
to
school
with
I'd
be
looking
this
way,
my
entire
political
career,
so
I
tell
everybody
this
I,
don't
care
what
your
name
is,
how
much
money
you
have?
The
only
thing
I
can
go
by
is
the
rules
that
are
on
the
book.
I
will
never
break
the
law
and
I
will
never
go
against
the
rules,
our
rules
Antiquated
or
need
to
be
fixed.
C
Absolutely
you
heard
a
discussion
about
about
just
that
very
thing
with
the
new
text
that
was
zoning
and
everything
like
that,
but
there's
no
ill
will
coming
from
this
board
or
evilness
no
matter
what
perception
is
and
trust
me
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
said,
but
we
will
let
this
play
out.
I
believe
there's
good
intentions
on
both
sides
and
hopefully
that
will
prevail
out
of
there,
but
but
you
cannot
ever
look
left
or
right
I'm
going
to
die
in
this
town
and
I'm
not
going
to
avoid
anybody
because
I
say
well.
C
You
know
you
treated
that
one
this
way,
but
when
it
came
to
me,
you
treated
me
different
I'm,
just
not
going
to
do
that
and
I'm
sorry
I'm.
Sorry,
I'm
I'm
always
going
to
be
honest
to
that
and
I
just
don't
know
how
to
be
another
way.
I'm
sorry.
So
with
that
said,
I
was
at
company
368
banquet.
It
was
different.
It
was
cool.
It
was
like
a
roast.
Z
C
A
Thank
you.
So,
commissioner
Grasso
had
an
engagement.
She
had
to
leave
for
Friday
night
I
attended
their
graduation
ceremony
for
the
correctional
officers.
We
had
three
graduated
out
of
the
class
I
want
to
congratulate
them
on
graduating
and
also
thank
them
for
their
service.
Working
at
the
Congressional
facility
is
not
an
easy
job.
You
know
it's
not
like
an
officer
who's
out
on
the
street
and
riding
around
they're
they're,
just
like
inmates
for
their
shift,
they're
locked
in
that
building
and
they're
there
to
protect
and
serve
and
maintain
the
safety
of
those
inmates.
A
So
we
want
to
thank
those
individuals
for
stepping
up
and
choosing
that
as
a
career,
I
also
attended
the
CTA
career
center
signing
on
Friday,
where
I
forget
how
many
students
that
day
had
already
signed
up
for
jobs,
there
was
probably
30
or
40.
A
have
already
got
jobs
lined
up
the
day
they
graduate
out
of
high
school.
You
know,
I,
don't
think
we
do
enough
to
promote
the
career
center
and
careers.
You
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
kids
going
to
college,
not
every
child
you
know
is
wants
to
go
to
college
and
there
are
a
lot
of
career
opportunities
out
here
where
you
don't
have
to
go
to
college.
A
lot
of
those
children
are
going
to
leave
High
School
in
June
and
start
a
career.
