Local LNG ExportFacility ApprovedBy Sarah MillerStaff Writer

Dominion Cove Point received noti-cation of approval from the Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission (FERC) for the liq-ueed natural gas (LNG) export project.

We are pleased to receive this nalapproval that allows us to start constructingthis important project that offers signicanteconomic, environmental and geopolitical

benets, Dominion Energy President DianeLeopold said in a press release. This orderis based on more than two years of thorough,exhaustive analysis by FERC along withnumerous other federal and state agencies.It also reects a robust public input process.Dominion is dedicated to constructing asafe, secure, environmentally compatibleand reliable export facility.

Dominion must review and accept theorder. According to Dominion Cove PointMedia Relations and Community RelationsManager Karl R. Neddenien, FERCs ap-

proval came with 79 conditions that Domin-ion must meet before and during construc-tion. How they will be addressing the con-cerns will be covered in an implimentation

plan to be submitted to FERC, Neddeniensaid. Dominion expects to ask the FERC

for a Notice to Proceed at that time andplans to begin construction when the noticeis received. This process from Dominionreview through FERCs notice is expectedto take several weeks, according to a pressrelease.

Its been a long time coming, Ned-denin said.

The construction of the export project,which is estimated to cost between $3.4 bil-lion and $3.8 billion, will create thousands ofskilled construction jobs, 75 permanent jobsand an additional $40 million in annual taxrevenue to Calvert County. Other economic

benets included millions of dollars of newrevenues for Maryland and the federal gov-

ernment as well as a reduction in the nationstrade decit by billions of dollars annually,according to a press release.

Community response to the approval ismixed.

FERCs failure to demonstrate com-pliance with the most current safety stan-dards in the National Fire Protection Asso -ciation (NFPA) 59A 2013 is a fatal aw inthe Environmental Assessment that couldcost residents and rst responders their

lives, said Calvert Citizens for a HealthyCommunity member Tracey Eno in a pressrelease from the Chesapeake Climate Action

Network. Members of Calvert Citizens fora Healthy Community (CCHC) believe thatthese new standards were a direct responseto the horric explosions that occurred ata Skikda, Algeria LNG export facility in2004, resulting in serious casualties and ex-tensive property damage. We have enduredthe betrayal of our own elected ofcialsmost notably, our ve Calvert County Com-missioners, our federal representatives andGovernor Martin OMalleywho have allinexplicably refused to insist on the latestre safety standards for the Dominion CovePoint LNG export expansion. We now callon the Secretaries of Homeland Securityand Transportation to step in and insist on

full compliance with NFPA 59A 2013 beforeLusby becomes home to the rst large-scaleliquefaction train ever to be installed in asuch a densely populated residential neigh-

borhood in the history of the industry.During the Sept. 30 Board of County

Commissioners meeting, two additionalcommunity members spoke out against the

project, expressing worr ies that the countywill become a guinea pig when it comes toLNG facilities near population centers.

Representatives from the State Highway Administration came to discuss Phase II othe Maryland Route 2/4 corridor improvements with the Calvert County Board of CountyCommissioners during their Sept. 30 meeting.

The project is to be completed in three phases and includes three miles of route 2/4through the center of Prince Frederick. The study was done in 1997 and phase one wascompleted in 2010, according to information handed out dur ing the meeting.

Project goals include widening route 2/4 to make it more friendly for bikers and pe-destrians, enhancement of drainage designs, removing the U-Turn at Steeple Chase Drivereconguring Commerce Lane to a full movement four way intersection, and aestheticimprovements.

Also during the meeting, commissioners discussed a new water storage tank to meedemands in Prince Frederick, which is part of a larger East Prince Frederick Well andTower project.

According to documents on the Calvert County website, the total estimated projectcost is $3,822,106. The project received two Water Supply grants from Maryland Depart-ment of Environment (MDE) totaling $750,000. The County, through the State, plans to is

Bob Arscott, of Dunkirk, spent three years carvinga life-size eagle, which is now on display at the Ameri-can Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach.

Ive done other eagles, but this is the rst time Itried a life-size one. I almost gave up on it a couple times

because i t took me three yea rs to do it , he said.

Arscott entered his life-size creation in the WorldCarving Show in Ocean City, where he competed withpeople from all over the world.

It didnt win, but everybody took pictures of it;there must be 10,000 pictures of it. Im competingagainst the world, its not like its the United States or astatethese people come in from Japan, Germany, Chi-na, everywhere and thats their profession. This is notmy profession; this is a hobby for me, he said.

Arscott researches every animal he car ves, which hesays is the longest part of the process.

Theres a lot of reference work you have to do. Iwent to the zoo and different places eagles were and Imust have taken a gazillion pictures, he said. Most ofthe luck I had was when I went to these gun shows andsometimes they had real eagles that were wounded andthey were holding them so I could get close and see.

Arscott said he spent roughly 3,000 hours carving

the life-size eagle and only works on the carvings dur ingthe winter.He has even taught classes on carving and has his

own shop at his house.Ive probably taught a couple-hundred people over

the last 20 yearsits called the quack shack becausemostly ducks is what I do, he said. Ill give them a

block of wood and say inside that wood is a bird and allyou have to do is remove the wood thats not bird. Andwhen they get done theyre really surprised they can doit.

The dedication of the life-size eagle will be held atthe American Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach onOct. 17 at 7 p.m.

Arscott holds the positions of Vice President of theD.C. Association of Retired Police Ofcers, Vice Chair-man of the Calvert County Republican Central Commit-tee, Vice President of the D.C. Police Memorial Board,

President of the Ferry Landing Woods Civic Associationand is a board member of the Dunkirk Area ConcernedCitizens Association.

Arscott is currently working on a carving of a leop-ard, which he says will be nished within six months.

Naval Air Station (NAS) PatuxentRiver welcomed a new commanding of-cer on Sept. 18 - Commanding OfcerHeidi Fleming (Captain, United States

Navy), the rst female commanding of-cer in the 71-year history of the base.

Fleming served as the executive of-cer for 18 months in the Navys Fleet-Up program.

Its an honor and a privilege to havethe distinction of being the rst femalecommanding ofcer before stepping intothe commanding ofcer position.

When you work hard and con-centrate, thats what happens, she said,adding that there are a lot of talentedmen and women in the Navy and at NASPatuxent River.

This is not Flemings rst time

stationed at NAS Patuxent River. Sheserved as executive ofcer and com-manding ofcer of the Scientic Devel-opment Squadron (VXS) from 2006 to2008, according to her ofcial biographyon www.cnic.navy.mil.

Fleming has spent more than 25years in the Navy. During that time, shesaid she has seen several avenues openup for women. Until 2013, women were

banned from combat roles. There wereaircrafts that women werent allowedto pilot at the beginning of Flemingscareer. Now women and men have thesame opportunities to y the same crafts.In July 2014, Marine Captain Katie Hig-gins was the rst woman assigned to theU.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squad-ron, also known as the Blue Angels.

When giving advice to young

women hoping to follow in her foot-steps, she said to follow a few basic prin-ciples know your job, be competent,

be professional. Know and take care ofyour people. If you do these things, goodthings will generally happen.

Fleming makes sure to remem-ber her roots, even in light of all of herachievements. She grew up in a militaryfamily. Her father, Bill Fleming, wasa two star Major General in the UnitedStates Marine Corps.

Hes been my hero, Fleming said,[He] still is. I learned a lot from him.

At rst, Fleming was not interestedin joining the military. But her father sawsomething in her that she didnt, Flem-ing said, and he encouraged her to recon-sider. She thought about following herfather into the USMC, but aviation wouldnot have been an option if she followedthat route. So she turned to the Navy and

the United States Air Force, eventuallychoosing to go to the United States NavalAcademy in Annapolis, Md.

Her father would have been veryimpressed by the advances in navalaviation in recent years, she said, and the

base is at the forefront of those advances.We are the future of naval avia-

tion, Fleming said.As the new commanding ofcer at

NAS Patuxent River, Flemings goals in-clude a review of the bases funding. She

plans to coordinate with public works toprioritize where funding goes. The baseexists for research and development, shesaid, and the biggest priority should be

promoting that mission. One project shehas on her radar is the repaving and re-

placing parts of the runway. There are

also plans to renovate and replace doors

on the hangers. The goal is to identifyand address issues before they becomedangerous, she said. The movement to

ward inclusion also helps with this goalHaving different perspectives and ideais the best way to prevent problems before they happen, Fleming said. For thireason, test teams are deliberately chosen to include diverse groups of people.

Communication is key, and Fleming intends to make sure everyone working on base, from the daycare providers to security and air trafc control, isinvolved.

Everybodys got an enabling function for the Naval staff, she said.

She plans to keep lines of communication open between herself and the 52tenants on base to take care of their needand concerns.

The partnership between the baseand the community is phenomenal

Fleming said. She makes it a point to beinvolved in the local community in alaspects. She prefers living in town rathethan on the base, saying that if gives hea better perspective on the local community. This was a lesson she learnedwhile living in Spain, she said. Living inthe community gives individuals a better understanding of the local culture andnd out what an area has to offer. Shemaintained this habit when she moved toSouthern Maryland, getting a house outside the gate in St. Marys County andspending her time off exploring the area

Letters to theEDITORTransparency

By Susan Shaw

Calvert County Commissioner, District 2

Lots of criticism oats around in an election year. Virtuallyevery decision a Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) makescan be criticized. In the absence of the background history or thefull story, it is easy to draw conclusions which may differ fromthe actions of the BOCC. Many times, when constituents ask me why we took a

particular action, and I explain, the reply is Oh. Now it makes sense. An exampleis the topic of transparency. To be totally transparent and still effective is impossible.Maryland law recognizes this fact by allowing 16 reasons for going into Executiveor closed session. Some of those reasons are obvious and protect the rights of others,such as personnel issues. The employee has a legal right to privacy of their personalinformation. The published agenda states the legal reason for going into closed orexecutive session, though executive agenda items can be added before the BOCCagenda is formally adopted, as long as the legal reason is given. The most commonreasons are personnel issues, to receive legal counsel, to receive proprietary informa-tion regarding a business or property. Administrative function is another category ofclosed session and involves meeting with staff for information sharing and dialogueregarding administrative topics. Usually, it involves giving direction to staff, thenthe staff presentation is provided in open session for a decision. On a steady basis,the Calvert BOCC has moved toward more transparency.

The rst big step in that direction of providing the public more information wasto put the video of the BOCC meetings on the internet following each meeting. Priorto that time, the public had to watch Channel 6 on Comcast cable tv at particulartimes each week, depending on whether or not you lived in the twin beaches. Ei-

ther proactively, or when questioned by a constituent, a County Commissioner couldcharacterize his/her actions. For example, I questioned that expenditure for justthe reasons you stated in no uncertain terms. The characterization often differedmarkedly from what was actually said, which might have been, I am voting for theexpenditure with reservations. Sometimes, Commissioners told constituents thatthey voted for A, when, in fact, they voted for B. The Commissioner might haveintended to vote for B, but in the heat of the debate, voted for A. Once the publiccould look at a particular agenda item at their convenience on the internet, they coulddraw their own conclusions about the motivations and behaviors of Commission-ers. When constituents complained because they had heard that I didnt support atopic, for example, I could either send them the link on the internet to see what wasactually said and done and the rationale given at the time, or I could send them myrationale along with the video link for them to see the discussion and the vote forthemselves. This greater ability to view the BOCC in action was powerful in thelast BOCC election.

The second initiative I undertook during my tenure as President of the BOCC,was to release the supporting documents behind a particular agenda item to the pub-lic at the same time as the BOCC received them. Before, the public and the presscould receive the Agenda in advance, but did not receive the entire packet of infor-mation backing up the agenda until the morning of the hearing. With the support

of my fellow BOCC members, we became transparent about what was going on theagenda and both the public and the press could prepare in advance, leading to moreinformed reporting.

The third initiative was championed by Commissioner Slaughenhoupt and in-volves more budget transparency during the process of building the budget. TheCalvert County budget has won awards every year. The change has been to open upthe process along the way for the publics viewing as we debate budget items, rankcapital projects, and look for ways to make revenues align with expenditures.

In the last few months, we have acquired the technology to live-stream theBOCC meetings so the public can watch in real time. A side effect of this greatertransparency is that constituents can make use of the public comment time as a

platform for their opinions, which recently have been represented as facts and theirtheories, which are unsupported, also as facts. A viewer might take these publiccomments at face value, believing them, since we do not currently have a formalmechanism for making sure the truth is represented at the same BOCC meeting.Originally intended as a means for the Commissioners to hear from the public onany topic, it has become a means for some activists to mislead the public.

Finally, I attended a meeting a few months ago where the allegation was madethat the public could not dialogue with Commissioners easily. The polar opposite istrue! All the Commissioners are approached in public at the many events we attend,respond to calls, emails, facebook messages, texts, letters, notes and appointmentsto meet. The government closest to the people is the local government and it is close,indeed!

In 2009, the Maryland Legislature passed the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act requiring thestate of Maryland to reduce greenhouse gasses by 25%, on or before 2020. The OMalley-Brownadministration intends to return emissions to their 2006 levels, the year they were elected Governor

and Lt. Governor. In Southern Maryland, the following legislators voted in favor of the bill: JohnBohanan(D), Roy Dyson(D), Sally Jameson(D), Sue Kullen(D), Mac Middleton(D), Mike Miller(D),Peter Murphy(D), James Proctor(D), Joseph Vallario(D). Those voting against the bill were TonyODonnell (R) and John Wood (D).

In 2012, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) produced the Maryland ClimateAction Plan to outline how greenhouse gasses could be reduced by 2020. The plan determined thatto achieve the required reduction in greenhouse gasses, driving in Maryland must be reduced signi-cantly. The plan proposes to increase the gas tax even more and to establish a miles travelled tax.

MDOT's projections illustrate that the only way to achieve the goals of the 2009 law, is to starttaxing Marylanders for every mile we drive. Proposals include tracking and monitoring every car sothat peak hours, like rush hour, would cost more. Other proposals include getting employers to "en-courage walking, biking, public transportation usage, carpooling, and teleworking," but MDOT notes"these options will have little effect compared to raising the costs to drive".

Last year, Southern Maryland Delegates Mark N. Fisher & Anthony O'Donnell sponsored a billto prohibit and stop a vehicle mileage tax in Maryland and to prevent the State from tracking our carsand trucks. MDOT ofcials were "strongly against" the bill because they want to have the option oftracking personal vehicle usage. Maryland Democrats killed the bill, because according to their trans-portation experts, a vehicle mileage tax is the best way to get people to limit their driving and to fulllthe mandate set forth in House Bill 315.

Maryland legislators will soon face a critical decision: Create a vehicle mileage tax OR repeal the2009 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act.

We need to decide who we want in ofce voting on this decision -- a decision that would raise thetaxes of all drivers especially in Calvert, Charles & St. Mary's. So the question is - Do we want thepeople who voted for the 2009 law that will result in a Mileage Tax and tracking devices, or do we wantpeople who will vote to repeal it?

If the Maryland Democrats push through the Vehicle Mileage Tax to limit greenhouse gasses,then we need a Republican Governor to veto it and enough Delegates to prevent a veto override by theDemocrats.

Hollywoods House of DanceNew Fall Schedule Announced

House of Dance announces its revamped fall sched-ule at www.thehouseofdance.org. Billing itself as offeringa dance studio and social club, the House of Dance lives

up to the name by adding more course offerings, as wellas monthly parties aimed at dancers of every skill level.The newly renovated 6,000 square foot space is

Southern Marylands only full-service dance center, of-fering a diverse and robust dance instruction curriculumfor both adults and children. The open space includes amain dance hall suited for larger classes and social eventsand two smaller studios and weekly tness classes likeZumba Fitness .

While the studio offers hip-hop, jazz, tap and balletfor children, House of Dance also prides itself on being aone-stop shop for adults have been aged out of dancing.

Most studios cater to younger clientele, so by thetime dancers turn 18, theres no place for them to go, sheexplains. Many of them just stop dancing.

Unlike many area dance studios, House of Dance isnot competition focused. While many of the instructors,including owner Donna Jordan, dance competitively inthe Ballroom arena, the atmosphere at House of Dance is

anything but competitive.

We take dance seriously, but not ourselves, Jordansays.

In keeping with the belief that movement should b

fun, the House of Dance offers a social club aspect fotheir adult students. Informal practice parties are heldweekly for those who prefer to unwind while they waltthe night away and private instruction is always availableHouse of Dance is becoming well-known for coordinating ashmobs in the tri-county area. Jordan adds that thefun and buzz of community participation is exhilarating

The House of Dance also offers space rentals for corporate events, private parties and community functionsMost recently, they sponsored the 1st Annual Cha ChChing fundraiser for the Southern Maryland Arts Council. Later this year, the center will take part in Thrill ThWorld, an annual international dance event inspired byMichael Jacksons Thriller that is simulcast around thworld.

House of Dance is located at 24620 Three NotchRoad. For the schedule of classes, visit their Facebookpage www.facebook.com/thehouseofdance.org or thwebsite www.thehouseofdance.org.

Resources forFirst-Time Home Buyers

The housing market has begun to heatup thanks to an economy on the rebound.Few people aspire to rent for life, and homeownership is a dream shared by both nativesand immigrants who came to the countryseeking a better life.

Each year the National Association ofRealtors compiles a prole of buyers andsellers that documents trends in the real es-tate market. Although the majority of rst-time home buyers identify as white, the nextlargest group are Hispanics, who accountfor 11 percent of the market of rst-time

home buyers.The rapidly growing Hispanic popula-tion is inuencing all areas of modern liv-ing, including real estate. Estimates suggestthat, between now and 2020, Hispanics, thesecond largest ethnic group in America,will account for 50 percent of new home

buyers.Over the last three decades, two of ev-

ery ve newcomers to the housing marketwere Hispanic, according to the NationalAssociation of Hispanic Real Estate Profes-sionals. In addition to needing assistancending their dream homes, Hispanic buy-ers also may need help securing loans tonance their upcoming home purchases.

Just this year ezDinero.com launched amultinational online alternate lending solu-tion that helps rst-time borrowers connectwith top experts who specialize in personal

loans. The company works directly withthe Spanish-speaking market and servesas a mediator between lenders and borrow-ers. The service is one of the few reputableonline companies that can help rst-time

borrowers nd nancial solutions that meettheir exact specications and connect themwith the top lenders in the industry.

Marina H. Gonzales, Director of Pub-lic Relations at ezDinero, states that thereis a need for this type of bilingual servicefor the Spanish-speaking audience, which isunderserved in the United States.

ezDinero was created with the intentof giving the Spanish-speaking populationan opportunity to meet their personal lend-ing needs, especially for rst-time borrow-ers, Gonzales said.

This alternative lending solution isnot the only option available to Hispanics.Some people nd success through govern-ment assistance and grant programs gearedtoward the Hispanic community. The Na-tional Association of Hispanic Real EstateProfessionals can be an excellent resourcefor further information, instructing peopleon how to apply for loans, secure lower in-terest rates and qualify for loans even if youhave a poor or brief credit history.

Hispanics wield more inuence in theUnited States than ever before, and moreand more Hispanics are making that inu-ence known in the real estate market.

Offering Local

Artists a Showplace

Entertainment


The House of Frames in PrinceFrederick has been offering galleryspace for local artists and display op-tions for keepsakes for 22 years.

Co-owners Beverly and Joe Smi-alek went into business together fol-lowing Joe's graduation from Salis-

bury. Before that, Beverly had beenrunning the framing operation out ofher home. Five years ago, the businessexpanded to include skateboard shopAggro Joe's.

Beverly and Joe work with each

customer to nd the best way to show-case their pieces, which can rangefrom paintings and antique photos towedding dresses and even a signedhockey stick. The hockey stick provedto be a complicated challenge, Beverlysaid. It was a metal stick with signa-tures in magic marker, which wouldsmudge is handled too much, but the owner wanted to beable to show it off from all angles. They ended up attachinga knob to the top of the stick and installing it in a glass box,giving the owner the ability to turn the stick and show it offwithout damaging the signatures.

Because of their location in proximity to AndrewsAir Force Base and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, theHouse of Frames receives a lot of business creating shadow

boxes for medals and retirement gifts, Joe said.There is no project too weird, Beverly said. She has

even framed a doodle done on a paper bag.Everything has meaning to somebody," Beverly said.In addition to high-quality framing services, the

House of Frames offers gallery space. Beverly takes pride

in supporting local ar tists, both in the store and externally.The House of Frames has dedicated spaces at local banks,lawyers ofces and other public locations, Beverly said.They make sure to put local work in those locations.

One local artist, Priscilla Catterton, will be having herrst gallery opening at House of Frames on Oct. 4.

Catterton met Beverly while golng at ChesapeakeHills Golf Course. Catter ton told Beverly about her paint-ings, and Beverly told her to br ing some in. She liked whatshe saw, and offered to add Catterton to the featured artistsin the shop.

Catterton is excited to have her rst show at House ofFrames.

"When I come in here I could stay all day," Cattertonsaid.

Catterton painted a little in high school and during heradult life, but she became more serious about her art. She

paints landscapes inspired by her t ravels in Maine, SouthCarolina, Maryland, Paris and Germany, among other lo-cations. She also paints a wide range of birds and owers.

Catterton's reception will be on Oct. 4 from 5 to 8p.m. at the House of Frames, located at 475 Main Street inPrince Frederick. For more information, call 410-257-1420.
