From The Capital
Davidsonville
resident Elaine Dickinson received a tremendous honor earlier this month when
she was presented the 2012 Leadership in Women’s Sailing Award. Dickinson was
recognized by National Women’s Sailing Association and BoatUS with the award
being bestowed on June 4 during the 11th Women’s Sailing Conference, held in
Marblehead, Mass.
This award is given to an individual who
has built up a record of achievement in inspiring, educating and enriching the
lives of women through sailing. Dickinson learned to sail at age 25 by taking
an Outward Bound course then immersed herself in the world of boating, both
personally and professionally as journalist and lobbyist for BoatUS.
Dickinson served on the National Safe
Boating Council, the United States Coast Guard Boating Safety Advisory Council,
and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Association’s Hydrographic Services
Review Panel. She has raised awareness about women’s sailing educational events
in articles for BoatUS Magazine, started the popular BoatUS Women in Boating
website and served as a National Women’s Sailing Association board member for
10 years.
Retired in 2010 after 26 years with
Government, Public Affairs and Publications departments of BoatUS, Dickinson
now enjoys cruising the Atlantic coast with her husband, Naval Architect Jack
Hornor, on their Catalina 42.
“Elaine took the initiative to encourage
women of all ages to try sailing,” said NWSA President Joan Thayer. “As a
sailor herself and a journalist writing about boating legislation and news,
Elaine contributed her own boating safety experience to workshops and readers,
including writing about women boaters in maritime fields and women-only events.
She conducted informal surveys of women asking them about boating topics and
how they like to learn, finding many women feel more comfortable learning from
women instructors and speakers. Our event still follows that format today.”

Despite emotional pleas from some parents against the
redistricti the plan Wednesday.
Under the plan, more than 100 students from Central will
be split between Davidsonville and Mayo elementary schools. Redistricting is
needed because Central is overcrowded while desks remain open at Davidsonville
and Mayo, officials said.
Central’s capacity is 767 students; it is expected to
have 840 by 2013. The capacity of Davidsonville is 727; at Mayo it’s 352. By
2013, those schools are projected to have 556 and 296 students, respectively.
The plan will move students living along Muddy Creek
Road, down to and including Wolfe’s Reserve, from Central to Mayo.
It will also redistrict from Central to Mayo students
living on Fiddlers Hill Road and those east of Muddy Creek Road and south of
Central Avenue, as well at those in River Club Estates and those along Camp
Letts Road.
Those living in the Waterford, Annapolis Landing and
Berkshire neighborhoods will move from Central to Davidsonville.ng of Central

More recently, as she approached a new age group, she
started to focus on extending her distance and was encouraged by her progress
and her running companions. From a weekly average mileage of 30 to 40 miles,
Maria has upped that to 50 to 70 miles a week and finished two 50-mile races
(Bull Run and Mountain Masochist) winning her age group in the process.
Still, she didn’t really know how her system would react
to doubling the distance of her long run at Umstead State Park near Raleigh,
N.C. This event features eight loops of 12.5 miles each. The weatherman
arranged for rain at the start but the sun came out later and it got rather
warm. At about the 88-mile mark the runners were treated to lightning and
thunder. Maria ingested a variety of things to keep her going, including
hamburgers, soup, baked potatoes and hard boiled eggs. She would walk for a
mile on each loop which allowed for easier food consumption. Her time at
the halfway point was close to her earlier JFK time and gave her confidence for
the next 50.
She says she never got sleepy or very tired along the
way and even took time to have some photos taken by the race managers at one
point. The upshot of this was an outstanding finish time of 22 hours and 52
minutes, easily winning her age group in a course-record time. She was 42nd
overall and the 11th woman of the 252 starters. But the best news was her
overall time was the second best ever recorded for the 100-mile distance (Only
Helen Klein’s 22:15 is better).

A Pasadena tree-trimming company was fined
$10,000 Wednesday for improperly cutting and trimming trees at a
Davidsonville home along the South River within the Critical Area
Watershed.
Branching Out Tree Service and its owner,
Steven J. Everd Jr., pleaded guilty in county Circuit Court to clearing without
a permit and improperly clearing in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. In
addition to the fine, Judge William Mulford II sentenced Everd to five years'
of probation.
The case originated with a tip from Diana
Muller, riverkeeper for the South River Federation. While on patrol on the
river just before Memorial Day last May, the tree-cutting work caught her eye.
"I saw these guys just slaughtering
the hillside," said Muller, who took pictures, documented the activity in
her logbook and reported it to county inspectors.
Muller's pictures show more than a dozen
trees shorn of all their branches, save for a few left at the very top.
"I was shocked. Shocked and
dismayed," Muller said.
The owner and caretaker for the property
on Merrimac Drive in Davidsonville told officials that Branching Out was hired
to remove some tree limbs, but the company trimmed beyond what was authorized,
according to the Office of the Attorney General.
County forester Jim Johnson told
officials that the trimming and "tree-topping" did not follow
accepted horticultural procedures and could end up killing the trees, according
to the Office of the Attorney General.
The property owner had to spend $14,000
to replant the area to make up for the damage.
Everd is not listed in the state's
database of licensed tree experts.
Tree trimming and landscaping work is
regulated within the Critical Area, the environmentally sensitive land adjacent
to rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
The $10,000 fine will be paid into the
state's Clean Water Fund.
County inspectors, the Critical Area
Commission and the Office of the Attorney General all had a hand in prosecuting
the case.
The state and the county have become more
aggressive in seeking criminal convictions for Critical Area violations, rather
than just civil fines.
Everd and his attorney, Andrew White of
Baltimore, were not available for comment.

After retiring from the US Army, Mr. Cronin and Donald Riddle opened the well known Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville. After 10 years, because of his wife's terminal illness, he left the business to care for her.
Walter was born April 20, 1929, to Walter and Gertrude (McCarthy) Cronin in Washington, D.C. He proudly entered the United States Army as a 17-year old Private, after graduating from Central High School in Washington, D.C., in September of 1946, and then served his nation for over 27 years. Colonel Cronin served and fought in three wars, as well as serving over a year under General MacArthur in the Army of Occupation of Japan following World War II. Later, after commanding combat troops in Korea, he served as a diplomat in London, often briefing the US Ambassador and other dignitaries. He spent much of his subsequent career in Military Intelligence, serving in Vietnam, before retiring from the Army in June of 1973. Colonel Cronin had the distinct honor of serving in every rank, from Private to Colonel during his illustrious career. He was awarded medals and citations in all three of our nation's wars, as well as the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Bronze Star(with Oak Leaf Cluster), and the Legion of Merit. He truly was one of our nation's heroes and a member of the vanishing Greatest Generation.

For now, the he simply wants his music to be heard. His new CD, “Thin Little Veil,” comes out March 31 and features 11 songs with life-affirming messages. The title is Sima’s reference to the barriers between people, nations and worlds coming down.
The poster for “Thin Little Veil” features hummingbirds flying out of a Victrola over a field of sunflowers. Above it all are a few lines from the song “Peace Signs and Laugh Lines”: “This place is where magic can happen, beyond what we ever believed. Like rolling hills of sunflowers as far as the eye can see.”

Davidsonville
eighth-grader Victoria
Marinzel is not one for
the spotlight. After Gov. Martin
O'Malley surprised her at a
school assembly Monday with a Compassionate Marylander Award and a Governor's
Citation, he asked the Central Middle School student to say a few words, and
she decided that two would do.
"Thank you."
Those who know Victoria said she prefers to let her actions speak for her. They say it's no surprise that she would win such an honor, after her work raising money and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
