| Walt Cubbage passed away |
|
It's with a heavy heart that I
have to inform everyone of the passing
of my father Walter R. Cubbage, (Bay Parkway) June 16, 2008.

July 4, 2007 NECA Parade - 'Most Patriotic'
|
Walter
R. Cubbage, Sr. (90)
of Neeld Estate, Huntingtown,
MD.
passed away on June 16, 2008 with his family by his
side.
Preceded
in death by his wife of 56 years, Josephine E. Cubbage. Loving
father of Walter (Bud) Jr. (Cherry), Dorothy Oliver
(Brent). Grandfather of Michael Oliver (Debbie), Steven Oliver
(Suzanne), Amy Cronin (Tim), Anna Mitchell (Todd), Sarah and
Andrew Cubbage. Great-Grandfather of Kaleigh and Connor Cronin,
Dylan Oliver, Glen (Karen), Shannon and Tracy Hudson.
Great-Great Grandfather of Mathew and Morgan Hudson.
Walt
was born to Henry and Ethel Cubbage on December 24, 1917, on a
farm in Stanley,
VA., he was one of 11 children and is survived by one sister,
Cora Stallard of Stanley, VA.
Walt was a United States Army
WWII Veteran and served our country honorably from 1941
-1945. He
saw a lot of action during the war with campaigns in the East
Indies, Guadalcanal, New Guinea and Northern Solomon's. When the
campaign of New Georgia in the Pacific was under way, his
unit was cut off by the enemy for 5 days, without food or water.
They had over 132 casualties and many wounded. His job during
the war was bulldozer operator and he took his dozer and cut a
road thru the jungle so help could arrive. He did this under
very heavy gunfire. When he was finished his bulldozer was
riddled with bullets, but he was unharmed. He was awarded the
Silver Star Medal, the military’s third highest medal for his
actions that day, and later received a Commendation for
Outstanding Service, the American Defense Medal, Good
Conduct Medal, Asiatic Pacific Service Ribbon, and Presidential
Unit Citation, honors
he was very proud of, but being the humble man that he was, he
never spoke of it. Through the years he remained friends with
his Army buddies and they would meet for lunch the first Tuesday
of the month at Tucker’s Restaurant in Upper Marlboro.
He
retired from the Washington Star Newspaper Co. and later worked
for the Calvert Independent
in Prince Frederick. He was a member of
Emmanuel United
Methodist
Church, Huntingtown,
MD, the 117th Combat Engineers, and Mt. Herman Lodge. He was
an avid golfer, woodworker, community volunteer and all around
good guy.
In 1981 he won the Neeld Estate Horseshoe Tournament and in 1983
he won the Neeld Estate Golf Tournament. Last year he won
"Most Patriotic" in the Neeld Estate 4th of July
Parade. In 2006 he was declared "Oldest Permanent Resident
by Age at the N.E. 75th Anniversary Celebration. For many years
he organized the Sunrise Church Service on the beach and until
recently he was in charge of the Grass Mowing Committee and he
rarely missed the NECA monthly meetings. He loved living in
Neeld Estate.
Walt loved his family, his church, his friends, his Army
buddies, his neighbors, his country and living in Neeld Estate.
He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He was
truly a blessed man, but really, we were the ones who were
blessed by knowing him and having him in our lives.

celebrate safely and legally.
The only fireworks legal in Calvert County are sparklers
containing no chlorates or perchlorates, ground based sparking
devices that are non-aerial non-explosive, and are labeled in
accordance with the requirements of CPSC. Paper wrapped snappers
containing less than 3/100 grains of explosive composition, and
snakes that contain no mercury and are not regulated by DOT.
- All other fireworks are prohibited.
- You must be 16 years old to purchase sparklers.
- Always follow the directions on the label.
- Always have an adult present to supervise your fireworks
fun.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix.
- Always use fireworks outside.
- Never try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks.
By following a few safety rules you will have a happy and
safe Independence Day celebration.
Calvert County Animal Control would like to remind you that loud
noise and bright flashes might frighten your pets. Keep your
pets indoors while enjoying the fireworks this July 4th.

Calvert
County Recycles -
if
you live in Calvert County, the following items can be recycled
|
| Recycling
Recycling is a very important part of the
Calvert County waste management program. While many people still don't
recycle, the benefits should be reviewed:
- conserves natural resources;
consider that if we didn't recycle newspaper we would have to cut
more trees to produce new newspapers,
- conserves landfill space; landfills
would fill up proportionately to the amount of materials we don't
recycle - if we didn't recycle anything, most landfills would be
full 10-30% faster than had we all recycled,
- saves us money; yes, actually it
does - a new landfill costs millions of dollars to develop and build
- money that could better be spent on schools, roads, and public
safety
- it makes cents - yes - more people
are employed with recycling businesses and many people sell
recyclable materials.
So, if
you live in Calvert County, the following items can be recycled:
- Glass: Clear, brown, green,
yellow, red or blue drinking, food, and beverage bottles. If it
didn't have food or beverage it, it probably can't be recycled.
Don't take the labels off, but please remove the
lids. Rinse out the
container and recycle.
We can't accept plate glass,
light bulbs,
mirrors, dishes, pottery, ceramics, windshields or other non-food
containers.
- Cans: All food
and beverage cans, steel, tin, empty paint, aerosol or aluminum can
be recycled. Rinse them out and flatten if you can. And don't worry
about the labels either.
- Plastic: All plastic
food containers and bottles with #'s 1 thru 7. Please rinse out and
flatten (for space). We don't accept plastic toys, dolls, plastic
wrap, large buckets; pans or pails, or plastic bags. Plastic bags
can be returned to the store in which you received them to be
recycled.
- Single Stream Recycling:
We accept all dry and stacked NEWSPAPER, with or with out the Sunday
insert. Please DON’T include the plastic bag you may have stacked
the paper in. All MAGAZINES and all “slick” printed material,
sales, mail order catalogues and other high quality printed
catalogs. Every piece of MAIL you receive can be recycled. Any
SCHOOL PAPERS as well as some containers from your kitchen –
including pasta, cereal, and food boxes. You can also recycle
paperback and hardback books. TELEPHONE BOOKS are also acceptable.
Cardboard: corrugated, if it has interior ridges, waffles, or is
thick, it's corrugated and we love to recycle it. We are now
accepting Asian boxes too.
- Textiles/Clothes:
Any old clothing you have, with or without holes, buttons or zippers
can be recycled. While the good clothing is sorted out for resale,
the really bad stuff (please don't be shy) is then used for rags and
other products. Don't forget sheets, curtains, blankets, socks,
shoes, belts, cloth table cloths, napkins, shower curtains, towels,
or just about anything that's a fabric. Be sure that the items are
clean and dry. If you're unsure, please ask an attendant.
- Motor Oil: Motor Oil
Filters: Antifreeze: If you do your own oil changes, chances are
that you have a used filter so when you bring your oil to the
recycling center, bring along the filter too. Filters should be
drained and recycled in the marked container at all sites..
- Household Hazardous Waste:
This program is available to residents only -NO COMMERCIAL
HAULERS/BUSINESSES. Commercial businesses must make other
arrangements for disposal. County residents may drop off their HHW
at the Appeal Landfill for free. These products usually have the
words "DANGER, POISON OR WARNING" on the labels, and
should be kept out of the regular garbage. Some of these items found
around the house are; pesticides/insecticides, paint
thinners/removers, drain cleaner, gas or fuels, pool chemicals,
solvents, etc.
-
Ecycling: Computers,
monitors, printers keyboards, mouse, copiers, VCR's, DVD players,
two-way radios at the Mt. Hope, Huntingtown, Barstow, Ball road
and Appeal Landfill sites.
- Fluorescent & Incandescent

and ballast along with incandescent lights can be recycled at Mt.
Hope, Huntingtown, Barstow, Ball Road and Appeal Landfill sites.
- Metal: Lawnmowers/tractors,
refrigerators, a/c units, dryers, washers, freezers, stoves,
dishwashers, metal cabinets, desks, and chairs. All of
these items can be recycled. If the item is at least 80%
metal, it can be put into the metal recycling boxes. Appeal Landfill
has recessed metal boxes, Mt. Hope, Huntingtown, Plum Pt., Barstow,
and Ball Rd. all have metal recycling boxes. Citizens
must put all metal into the boxes provided at the compactor sites.
NO appliances with freon are accepted at the compactor sites, these

Typical
Energy Costs for Household Appliance - This table
shows typical energy costs to run some
common household appliances and equipment, for typical
usage patterns and average energy costs
(about 8 cents per kWh for electricity and 60 cents per
therm for gas). Your actual costs may differ
substantially from these typical costs because of a
number of factors: the price you pay for energy,
the size of your appliances, the efficiency of your
appliances, how much you use them, and how
you use them.
Have
a great day and keep smiling!
