Having Maryland named as one of six sites in the country designated to test unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial use could be a good starting point to diversify St. Mary's County's economy, some elected officials and community leaders believe.
The trick is getting everyone on board, and finding the right amount of investment and partnership from governments and businesses in the region to make a successful bid.
One plan on the table envisions a research park, a university presence and a strengthened economy still centered on Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
Del. John Bohanan (D-St. Mary's) said recently that a version of the plan called Southern Maryland 2020 requires an investment in education. With the right backers, he believes, it could boost Maryland's chances of being designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a test range for unmanned aerial systems. That, in turn, could secure the local economy and tax base.
The FAA plans to designate six sites by September 2015 to integrate commercial unmanned aerial systems into national air space, and the six sites approved would be the only areas approved for testing in civilian air space.
Maryland earlier joined with Virginia and New Jersey under the Mid-Atlantic Unmanned Aerial Systems Consortium to bid to become one of those sites. That group fell apart sometime in recent months, according to sources.
Now, the University of Maryland is taking the lead role in developing the FAA proposal for Maryland. Retired Navy Capt. Matt Scassero, who had been hired as executive director of the consortium, is now employed by the university to write the proposal.
New Jersey and Virginia broke away from the group and, according to sources, Rutgers University has taken the lead for New Jersey and Virginia Tech is leading the effort in Virginia.
The FAA's screening information request (SIR), which is similar to a government's request for proposal, went out for bid on Feb. 14, after months of delays.
Bohanan said as many as 32 states have expressed interest in earning the designation from the FAA.
Scassero outlined the initiative at an October 2012 meeting of the Maryland Military Installation Council. At that time, Maryland was still part of the three-state consortium.
He said that the commercial unmanned aerial systems industry is estimated to exceed $89 billion.
Research park is proposed
"We're trying to get an agreement with the University of Maryland system to put a footprint down here in Southern Maryland with a research park," Gary Kessler, executive director of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, said. A research park would make Southern Maryland more appealing as one of the FAA's six test ranges.
Kessler, a former St. Mary's school board member, is an adviser on the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center board of governors. The state-built facility and surrounding area in Hollywood is one of the top contending spots for a research park.
And whether or not Maryland wins designation as one of the FAA's six sites, a research park would help St. Mary's diversify and help the economy stay strong, Bohanan said.
Kessler said that Bohanan and others are trying to create a strategic vision for what St. Mary's County and the rest of Southern Maryland will look like in the year 2020.
Maryland has committed $500,000 to the effort, which was funneled to The Patuxent Partnership to assist in the initial effort to win the FAA designation.
Bohanan and others involved with Southern Maryland 2020 plan to send a letter this week to county commissioners and other leaders in St. Mary's, Calvert and Charles counties presenting the plan and suggesting funding to help jump-start the economic diversification effort and attract state and federal investment.
The St. Mary's commissioners took an initial step last week in applying for a $25,000 federal grant and putting up matching funding for a comprehensive study of the county's economic potential.
Commissioner Todd Morgan (R) made a pitch Tuesday to add $350,000 to the county's department of economic and community development for the diversification effort. No decision on that budget item was made Tuesday.
"We've got to protect the base," Commission President Jack Russell (D) said Monday. He said then that the county is looking at committing more resources to enhance that effort, and that he is concerned with "the big picture."
The next hurdle may be getting all of the players, including county and state officials, Navy and military contracting companies, and higher education leaders, to work together, some of those involved in those efforts said.
The ultimate goal, Kessler said, is for new business to spin off from the work that goes on at Pax River, which could include manufacturing items that in turn would be used on base, Kessler said.
"The base is still an anchor, and would continue to be an anchor" of the St. Mary's economy, he said.
He compared the region to Huntsville, Ala., where an Army base and a NASA space flight center support local industry, and vice versa.
"We think Huntsville could be a model" by incorporating the military, a major university and businesses together, Kessler said.
Kessler said St. Mary's has never focused energy on diversifying because the defense contracting business has been so lucrative over the years.
"We're kind of a one-trick pony," Kessler said.
Boosting higher education
The University of Maryland System through several of its state universities currently provides instructors to teach classes leading to bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center.
The Southern Maryland 2020 vision includes bringing in a much larger presence from the state university system, including $50 million or more to chip in for a third building at the higher education center.
The Maryland legislature about two years ago approved about $11 million for a third building on the California campus. At the time, construction would have started as soon as 2013 with the building open in the second half of 2014.
Plans were put on hold last summer in hopes that the University of Maryland would participate, and that the third building would become part of a bigger research park at the higher education campus, complete with a business incubator.
"Only time will tell if all of that materializes," Kessler said.
Mel Powell, executive director of the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center, and other educators have said that there are many smart students coming out of high schools in Southern Maryland, but that they leave to go to universities that focus on research.
"It's a major investment," Powell said. The project would involve paying faculty and buying expensive lab equipment, in addition to the actual building, he said.
Powell at the end of January wrote a letter to William Kirwan, chancellor of the University of Maryland, asking whether he would be interesting in funding the new building and expanding its academic footprint in St. Mary's.
The letter also outlines the need for a larger research presence locally to support Pax River missions.

This story was corrected at 5:25 p.m. on Oct. 31, 2013. An explanation follows the story. It also was updated at 5:40 p.m. on Oct. 31.
In a move that caught members of the Montgomery County Council off-guard, County Executive Isiah Leggett won't sign a bill the council passed that would provide pay increases for the next council and executive, but Leggett will allow the bill to become law without his signature.
Leggett's lack of action means the bill automatically become law on Monday and will go into effect in December 2014.
The bill would increase the pay for council members by about $32,000 over the next four years, from the current salary of $104,291 a year to $136,258 on Dec. 4, 2017.
It would also provide an increase of about $10,000 for the next county executive, to a salary of $190,000 a year from $180,250, and ties the salaries of the sheriff and state's attorney to a consumer price index.
The bill won't apply to the current council or executive, who are legally prohibited from giving themselves raises while in office.
The fact that the bill passed the council by an 8-1 vote factored into Leggett's decision not to veto the measure, county spokesman Patrick Lacefield said Thursday. Councilman Philip M. Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg voted no.
Six votes are needed for the council to negate an executive veto.
"It's pretty clear any veto would be overridden," Lacefield said Thursday.
The Washington Post reported on Oct. 29 that Leggett might not sign the bill.
That came as news to several council members.
Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring said Thursday that Leggett never conveyed any hesitations about the bill during the legislative process that led up to the council's vote on Oct. 22.
"It's unfortunate that this is being raised all over again," Navarro said Thursday.
Council Vice President Craig Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown said he and Leggett discussed the issue on Oct. 30, but that was the first he'd heard of the executive's misgivings.
"I wish that we had known about it ahead of time," Rice said.
Councilman Marc Elrich (D-At Large) of Takoma Park said Thursday he speaks to Leggett regularly, and Leggett never told him about any concerns about the bill.
"People do things I don't understand sometimes," Elrich said.
In July, Leggett told members of the committee in charge of making a recommendation to the council that he believed a cost of living adjustment would be enough, Lacefield said Thursday.
"We hear the recession is over, but things are still tough for a lot of people," he said.
Leggett had assumed the committee would pass on his reservations, Lacefield said.
Leggett should have shared his concerns with the council in a more timely manner, Councilman Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda.
There was a time and place for the executive to weigh in on the compensation issue, and it shouldn't have been after the fact, Berliner said.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to the veto process.

Erica Choi, 25, was driving a 2011 Honda Accord south on the northbound lanes of I-270 at 11:27 p.m., according to Maryland State Police. Her car struck a Mercedes SUV driven by 38-year-old Lai Fung Lam of Clarksburg.
Choi died in the accident and Lam was taken to Suburban Hospital with serious injuries. All northbound lanes and two southbound lanes were closed for about four hours following the accident, according to police.
Maryland troopers are continuing to investigate the crash.

Perched on a stool in a white gauze dress with gold, green and red embroidery, Sara Mussie burned frankincense as she roasted green coffee beans over a flame in her Takoma Park home.
As the scent of the roasted beans wafted from the pot, her husband, Tebabu Assefa, asked everyone to make a wish.
Mussie and Assefa see coffee — which they sell — as a medium to tell stories and business as a medium for change. In 2011, they founded a company, Blessed Coffee, to change what they see as a deeply unfair form of international trade.
Their next goal is to open a cafe and small roasting facility in Takoma Park, and they're using crowdfunding to do it.
With crowdfunding, small companies or individuals raise money for a project through websites like Indiegogo or Kickstarter. People pledge to invest, and depending on the site, fundraisers may receive any amount of money pledged by the end of their campaign, or may only get money if they reach their fundraising goal. If the funding goal is met, investors often receive a benefit, like the new product they helped fund. In this case, investors might receive free coffee, art, or a dinner, depending on their investment level.
Mussie performed a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony as the couple explained their work.
Assefa said neighbors in Ethiopia gather daily after lunch in each other's homes for coffee. They discuss community concerns and bless one another.
This legacy guides Blessed Coffee's efforts as much as the tangible goals of creating more equal markets for coffee producers and high-quality coffee to customers. Assefa and Mussie call this concept of promoting positive social change through business the "virtuous exchange" model.
The pair became involved in efforts to empower farmers in the global coffee market after meeting Ethiopian activist Tadessa Meskela in 2002. They learned that farmers might make 50 cents for a pound of coffee beans that sells on the retail market for more than $10.
These farmers often can't afford to send their children to school, or eat three meals a day, Assefa explained as Mussie brewed coffee over the fire in a long-necked ceramic kettle.
Initially, Assefa and Mussie wanted to make a documentary about the farmers' struggle. Instead, they decided to spread their message and help more directly by starting a company to pay farmers living wages for their product.
"We're using the business to come up with the solution," Assefa said, "It's not only a business — it's also a movement; it's a way of life."
Blessed Coffee buys from Meskela's Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union through a wholesaler in New York, as the local company is not big enough to buy directly from the co-op. The co-op is made up of 240,000 Ethiopian farmers and is built on the same values of fairness and quality from the producers to the consumers.
Blessed Coffee sells shade-grown coffee from the co-op to local restaurants and shops and at farmers markets. Shade-grown coffee is widely considered more environmentally friendly and, many argue, has better flavor.
The virtuous exchange model goes beyond the fair trade model by offering producers higher profits and investment opportunities, and focusing on the relationship between producers and consumers, Assefa and Mussie said.
As of Tuesday, Blessed Coffee's Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign had raised $5,235 from 26 investors, toward a goal of $226,274. The campaign has about 30 days remaining. Blessed Coffee will receive all of the money pledge through the site even if the company does not reach its goal.
Part of the reason Blessed Coffee's owners turned to crowdfunding, Assefa said, is their focus on community. They want neighbors and customers to take part in the company to show how a community can pool resources for change.
They also plan to use small business loans, community development grants, and investments and loans from community members to reach their fundraising goal.
The company turned down an offer of $3 million from an investor several months ago, Assefa said, because the point is not expanding the business in the traditional sense. The point is showing Takoma Park how many resources it has and the power of social connections.
"This thing was conceived and fostered" in Takoma Park, Assefa said. "It was possible because of the sense of community we have."
Blessed Coffee is the nation's second benefit corporation, under a law enacted in Maryland in 2010, Assefa said. The designation, now available in 20 states, gives social entrepreneurs who are pursuing public benefit along with profit added protection from lawsuits by shareholders. It also gives an official recognition of companies' socially conscious efforts.
For Assefa and Mussie, coffee is a means for empowering farmers in Ethiopia and strengthening community in Takoma Park. Profits serve to further those goals.
Once Blessed Coffee becomes large enough to buy directly from farmers, Assefa and Mussie want to let farmers invest in and own a piece of the company. They've set a goal of expanding the company to 15 major cities.
In other industries, particularly in Africa, some of the world's poorest people supply markets from resource-rich environments, Assefa said. Applying the virtuous exchange model could make a difference for cocoa producers in Ghana and gold miners in the Congo, to name two.
"The international commodity market has locked them in poverty in the Garden of Eden, and that's very offensive, especially when the consumer doesn't want that," Assefa said of the coffee farmers. Shortening the distance between the producer and consumer is critical to making the virtuous exchange model a reality, he said.
Once its cafe opens, Blessed Coffee plans to donate 50 percent of profits to 15 local community organizations. The owners hope the café will be a gathering space.
"It's community in a cup," Assefa said.

Firing Line: Guru Khalsa

We couldn't think of any reason not to relive Mark's instant classic from a different perspective. We're pretty sure you'll agree. Enjoy...
Mark's part was so good we had his friend and filmer Miguel Valle remix it so we could relive the stoke. It'll be live on the site this Wednesday.
Mark Suciu is on another level, but he doesn't know it. Check out this interview and photos.
Check out these interviews and photos with Silas Baxter-Neal, Fred Gall, and Stefan Janoski.
The video was all HD, so Mark's back Smith at Kezar didn't make the final cut. It's a beauty though...
Catch up with Brian Delatorre in ths interview about filming for Search the Horizon.
Dan Zaslavsky brings you this week's 'five' of Habitat riders Silas Baxter-Neal, Brian Delatorre, Stefan Janoski, Al Davis, and Mark Suciu.
It's a Habitat project, so you already know the video production is next level. The skating, well, that is a whole other beast. Delatorre gets the party started while Suciu delivers a finale for the ages. Guess the SOTY 2014 race starts now. Wow...
Dan Z met up with Suciu and Dela in Barcelona for a Euro adventure to round up some photos.
This is the story of Fred Gall, one of our personal favorites, and truly an all-time great. Freddy is indestructible!
In celebration of our video collaboration, Habitat mastermind Joe Castrucci created these exclusive "Dark Forest Goat" hoodies and tees.
Daryl had harsh video deadlines all year and he came through for sure. Here's a rad line showing his snap abilities.
Marius Syvanen goes Fatback on you with some point and shoot edit from the filming of Search The Horizon.
Marius makes great use of an absolutely beautiful ditch. You're going to get skate-spot envy on this one.
The emphasis here is on tech skating and smooth board control. Man, these guys know how to skate. Here's Janoski, Delatorre, Suciu, Syvanen, Silas, Guru, Davis, and Gall.
Rough streets, rad flow, and a great fire hydrant ender. This is raw street skating.
Filming a full part is a huge achievement but it often comes at a high price. Here's just a handful of slams Brian has taken recently.
It's not everyday you get the whole Habitat team into one place at the same time. They did their best to hide the joy and answer some questions.
The weather in Portland can be unforgiving, so Silas built his own indoor utopia to shred with his homies.
He's been a one-man firing line for a couple of years now, and his name is synonymous with tough but smooth tricks linked together. This line does not disappoint.
Guru makes the end of this line look so easy it takes a moment to realize it's a straight-up hammer.
The best footwork in the biz. Are you looking forward to his Search the Horizon part as much as we are?
Silas is known for his precision skating, so we're guessing this nose-blunt hang-up was deliberate. But we doubt he expected this outcome.
This legendary part has been watched and studied for 22 years and yet you notice something different each time. Tim O'Connor introduces a classic Plan B part from 1992.
A wide open plaza gives Dela room to cruise and piece together a fun line.
Over 20 years after Pat Duffy blew minds on this SF State kinker, wunderkind Mark Suciu returns with the dreaded backside noseblunt slide.
This is priceless. Please watch. We ♥ Freddy.

First and foremost, Ryan Brown is a fan. He has been an avid fan of both the theater and cinema since an early age and his passion for both has been continually growing ever since. When dissecting a film, he focuses on all elements of film-making including some fan/cult factors. He believes that character development is the foundation of a good film and usually starts his analysis of a film from there moving forward. His writing style may be influenced by his background of narrative and argumentative studies in the subject, but he tends to enjoy a more conversational style to better interact with the readers, unlike some other pretentious and pompous writers.

JVCC V-DCA Vinyl Arrows On A Roll are SPVC vinyl die cut arrows on a pressure-sensitive adhesive roll. Used for aisle marking, color coding, inventory identification, defect marking, and numerous other applications. Made of durable vinyl construction so product is waterproof and can withstand heavy traffic. The arrows are dimensionally square so a 1 inch size arrow would be 1 inch wide by 1 inch long.
For the 1 inch arrows there are 1,000 arrows on a roll and all other sizes have 500 arrows on a roll.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

This story was updated at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2013.
A Potomac man is charged with two counts of attempted murder after a dispute over who had the right of way at a stop sign led to a double stabbing Thursday afternoon at the Montgomery mall in Bethesda.
David B. Goldberg, 24, of the 11600 block of Milbern Drive, is being held without bond after being arrested in connection with the stabbing of a man and a woman at about 2 p.m. in the mall parking lot while his 2-year-old daughter was sitting in the back seat of his car.
According to police, there was a dispute between drivers of two cars at a stop sign on one of mall's roads. One of the vehicles — later determined to be Goldberg's car — almost struck another vehicle driven by the victim in the stabbing, according to police. The dispute continued into the parking lot near the Sears department store.
Once in the parking lot, both drivers got out of their cars, and Goldberg allegedly stabbed the 31-year-old male driver of the other car and his 28-year-old female passenger, according to information released by police Friday. Goldberg then got back in his car and drove away.
Goldberg's car then hit a car parked in a surface lot near the Sears store, said Montgomery County Police Lt. Oneil Ormsby.
That car was owned by Dennis Hines of Bethesda, who said he came out of the mall to find "two bloody people" and his car "smashed from the back and pushed out of its parking space."
Ormsby said the woman was stabbed in the abdomen, but additional details about the victims' injuries were not released. They were taken to a local hospital, he said.
Goldberg's car was found on top of an adjacent mall parking deck and he was arrested a short time later, according to police, who said they found Goldberg's 2-year-old daughter in his car.
Goldberg has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of second-degree assault.

Nick Young considers himself a rising star.
The St. Mary's Ryken High School senior is not the only person who recognizes that potential. Entertainer Steve Harvey took the boy under his wing through a mentoring program and plans to help Young through college.
Harvey is best known in the entertainment world for his television and radio programs and as the current host of the "Family Feud" game show. The comic icon and his wife also support a philanthropic organization, the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation, which includes mentoring African-American boys.
Each summer, Harvey hosts a mentoring camp at his ranch in Texas that mostly serves boys being raised in single-parent families. Young was chosen to attend the camp two years ago.
Since then, Young has worked with Rushion McDonald, Harvey's executive producer, who also got his start as a stand-up comedian. McDonald flies Young to his offices in Atlanta during breaks from school and over the summer to work as a personal assistant, Young said.
Young received a $10,000 scholarship from the United Negro College Fund and will be attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, thanks to encouragement from McDonald. Young, who was backstage with McDonald during the taping of Harvey's television show, was called on stage to accept the award.
"I wasn't expecting to get a scholarship," Young said. "It was just a complete surprise."
Harvey added to the surprise by announcing he would cover the rest of Young's four-year college expenses through his foundation. The show aired in late January.
"We've got to ensure that these young people get a jump in life," Harvey said during the show. "It's our obligation. God blesses you to become a blessing."
Harvey said that being a mentor is one of the most important things a person can do for youth.
"He said my only requirement was to give back. He's really big on service," Young said. "That's all I could think about. I was going to be a servant for the rest of my life. And I don't mind that."
Young said he plans to major in economics and go on to get a law degree. He said he wants to be a judge advocate general for the military.
Then, he said, he wants to write some books ("to make money") and get involved in politics, inspired by President Barack Obama.
"When I saw him get elected [for his first term], I started looking at the political process," Young said. He was in eighth grade then.
Now, as a high school senior, he has dreams of taking his own seat in the Oval Office. "In 2036, I'm running for president," Young said.
Young's mother, Deirdre Neighbors, said her son does give off a "presidential aura," and is always in control.
"He's a very diplomatic person," she said.
Young had a difficult childhood and was bullied in high school, he and his mother said. After changing schools several times, he enrolled at St. Mary's Ryken as a junior. He has thrived there, his mother said.
As for her son going away to college this summer, Neighbors is not worried. He'll do great, she said, and he will be close to McDonald's office in Atlanta.
"I know I'll be doing a lot of hard work" at Morehouse, Young said.
He said he is confident going into college, especially thanks to the education he received at St. Mary's Ryken. "I feel overprepared," he said.
Young's interests extend beyond academics. He played football for St. Mary's Ryken last year, and this year is again a member of the school's mock trial club, which he especially enjoys.
Outside of school, Young mentors other students and is involved with the Tau Lambda Lambda fraternity. He also volunteered at Waldorf's volunteer fire department, near where he and his mother live. "That's my passion," he said.
The fire companies in Atlanta are manned by paid career firefighters, so Young contacted a volunteer firehouse outside of the city limits and has already arranged to join once he gets to Morehouse. Working with firefighting crews offers a good way to balance the usual calm and controlled aspects of his life, he said.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Francis Pease on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English equivalent of Italian Francesco, originally a vocabulary word meaning 'French' or 'Frenchman' (Late Latin Franciscus; compare Frank). This was a nickname given to St Francis of Assisi (1181–1226) because of his wealthy father's business connections with France. His baptismal name was Giovanni. He had a pleasant, ordinary life as a child and young man, but after two serious illnesses, a period of military service, and a year as a prisoner of war in Perugia, he turned from the world and devoted himself to caring for the poor and sick. He was joined by groups of disciples, calling themselves 'minor friars' (friari minores). The main features of the Franciscan rule are humility, poverty, and love for all living creatures. The given name occurs occasionally in England as early as 1300, and more frequently from the early 16th century, when there was a surge of admiration for, and imitation of, Italian Renaissance culture.
|288th in the U.S.
English: from Middle English pese 'pea', hence a metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of peas, or a nickname for a small and insignificant person. The word was originally a collective singular (Old English peose, pise, from Latin pisa) from which the modern English vocabulary word pea is derived by folk etymology, the singular having been taken as a plural.

This story was corrected at noon on Dec. 30, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
It was Christmas Eve one year ago when Groovy Music entered his last race. The 6-year-old bay gelding pulled a ligament in a race that sidelined his racing career. But, with the help of a nonprofit organization, Groovy Music and many thoroughbreds like him are getting a second chance.
CANTER, the Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses, works with trainers at Laurel Park and racetracks across the country to help their horses find new suitable homes when they finish their racing careers. CANTER Mid-Atlantic caters to racehorse owners and buyers on the East Coast, with their horses housed at different farms in Maryland, Delaware and North Carolina.
Finding a suitable home for these retired racehorses isn't an easy job, according to Wendy Komlo, Groovy Music's owner.
Komlo owns Tantarra Stables and breeds her own racehorses that she races at tracks along the mid-Atlantic. She also owns Komlo & Associates property and casualty insurance agency and a 12-acre farm in Derwood where she has two of her retired racehorses, two brood mares and one rescue pony to keep them company.
CANTER helps owners like Komlo weed through prospective buyers and adoptive homes to make sure horses find their perfect fit for their second career. A retired racehorse doesn't have to hang up his horseshoes. These horses can be used for pleasure riding, police work, as show horses, or for cattle work, according to Deidra Darsa, a volunteer who also deals with public relations for CANTER Mid-Atlantic.
"We call it owner responsibility to find out where those animals are going and it is a long hard process," Komlo said. "I can sleep very well at night knowing where my horses are."
The CANTER program is 100 percent volunteer-run and launched in 1999. In its 14 years, the mid-Atlantic group has placed 375 horses, according to Darsa.
"All my life, I've loved horses," said Darsa, who owns a CANTER horse of her own.
CANTER maintains a website that lists horses for the owners and facilitates a match with a prospective buyer.
There are many factors that come into play on how long a horse can race. In some cases, they have the "slows" and just aren't competitive on the track. Some horses get injuries that end their racing careers, but not their ability to go onto second careers. Some horses race until they are about 9 years old, Darsa said.
Horses fresh off the track are priced at less than $1,000. Horses in retraining typically are in the $500 to $3,500 range, Darsa said. Groovy Music was listed for $1,000.
Often, racehorse owners will donate retired horses to CANTER. When that happens, the organization uses all of the money made from selling the horses to take care of other horses before they are adopted.
CANTER rehabilitates and retrains horses donated to them because they are often weak and fragile after years of racing. The rehab typically costs $3,000, Darsa said.
"They come off the track a little body sore," she said. "We turn them out to relax and just be horses for three months."
After that, they are retrained. When a buyer comes along, CANTER makes sure they're a good match to foster a successful relationship.
"Through CANTER, I get the chance to really see where I want my horse to go. CANTER does a heck of a job," Komlo said.
Former Montgomery County resident Allie Conrad founded CANTER Mid-Atlantic. She said there was no place to market these horses, so they could find a good home, she said. She wanted to help connect sellers with buyers.
Darsa and Conrad met some years back at stables in Damascus.
"I ran out of friends to sell horses to, so I had to find new friends," Conrad said with a laugh about her move to North Carolina.
Jennifer Martin of Falls Church, Va., starting as a volunteer with CANTER, but later became the adoptive owner of Cally in 2007.
She and her 12-year-old thoroughbred finished third in the beginner/novice category at the Maryland Horse Trials in Adamstown on Nov. 10.
Cally lives on Southwind Farm in Damascus, where Martin pays a $800-per-month boarding fee.
"I think the horse appreciates where she is. She lights up a little when I am there," Martin said of the horse.
Through donations and grants from the ASPCA, as well as a ton of time, effort and energy, Conrad said, they work with horse specialists, like chiropractors and dentists, to bring the horses back to their full, healthy potential. The number of donated horses they can take in each year entirely depends on funding for that year and the amount of volunteers on hand.
Conrad said she enjoys her work with CANTER simply because of the horses themselves, as well as having happy owners call her and say that their CANTER horses are the best things in their lives.
"Daily therapy from the horses — there is nothing better in the world. They are such great insight into your mood and soul. They are the biggest reward," Conrad said.
Staff Writer Krista Brick contributed to this story.
An earlier version of this story listed an incorrect price range for the horses. Also, Southwind Farm was misspelled.

JVCC DCF-01 Double Coated Film Tape is a two-sided polyester film tape with an acrylic adhesive for use in the graphic arts industry for nameplates, decals, and general purpose bonding. It comes on a release liner. JVCC DCF-01 is also used for the splicing.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

How To Buy Freshwater/Saltwater Fishing Line
