Upcoming Parkside High seniors create self improvement app through YEA program
By Mike McClure
Looking to train to run a 5K? A pair of upcoming Parkside High seniors have created a self-improvement app that can help with that and many other tasks. Adit Abraham and Benyam Ephrem created the goal tracking app, which breaks tasks down into smaller tasks, during their time in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!). “It was really good. It pushed us into starting a business,” said Ephrem, who added that the business partners still talk to their mentors for advice in financing the operation. “I think it was a good program.” “I definitely like it. It was a new experience. Usually in school we don’t get much experience in entrepreneurship,” Abraham added. Ben heard the announcement for the YEA! program and entered it. Adit joined the program on the due date. YEA! is a 30-week after school program which teaches middle and high school students the process of starting and running their own real businesses. Participants start as students, and graduate the program as CEOs of their own companies.
Through the program the students: write a business plan, interact with business professionals, brainstorm ideas, pitch their business plan to potential investors, receive funding, take part in a trade show, register their business, and launch it. Abraham, born in India, and Ephrem, born in Salisbury, have been friends since the fourth grade. Once in the program, they decided to form a partnership. “We had a few ideas but didn’t know which one we wanted to go with,” said Abraham. The idea for their business came as a result of experience Ben had when he was younger. His family is from Ethiopia and one time when he went there on a trip he was involved in a car crash. The crash took place 700 miles (six hours) away from the nearest hospital and Ephrem nearly died. While recovering, he listened to an e-book on his phone called “Life in Half a Second”, written by Matthew Michalewicz. The message of the book is: “Life is short, too short. In the grand scheme of the universe, you only have half a second to live, half a second to pursue your dreams, live fully, and succeed. You don’t have a moment to lose.”
After reading the book, Ben began making goals, breaking them down into steps by pencil and paper. The new app will allow users to do the same thing on their phone or computer. One thing Ephrem and Abraham have learned since graduating from YEA! is the amount of money and hard work it takes to fund an app. Both have started side businesses to help raise funds. Ephrem does Instagram marketing through velopconsulting.com. The duo sometimes gets on each other’s nerves, but have learned to weather the ups and downs of running a business. “Sometimes I want to kill him,” Ephrem said. “It’s up and down.” “Because Ben and I have known each other so long we can get through the ups and downs,” added Abraham. In the future, Ben wants to run his own business. He is interested in spiritual studies, but will probably major in business/marketing. Adit said he would like to have his own business, but not necessarily in app development. He wants to attend the University of Pennsylvania or Stanford and study business and technology. “We started Velop and now some Continued on page 3

Salisbury Chamber receives update on fireworks show, substance abuse center By Mike McClure
The most recent Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce meeting took place June 16 at Abbott’s Grill on Broad Creek in Laurel. Greater Salisbury Committee CEO Mike Dunn spoke about the upcoming Red White and Boom festivities taking place on July 4 while Beth Ohlsson, Executive Director of the Salisbury Substance Abuse Community Center discussed her organization’s role in helping people in recovery as well as the organization’s future plans, which include a name change. Dunn said the Red White and Boom, the Fourth of July Fireworks show that takes place at County Stadium in Salisbury, is in its fifth year. Along with the $20,000 fireworks show, the following will be available for visitors: snow cones, homemade ice cream, burgers, hot dogs, music, and a bounce house. “If there’s a good idea out there we know the community supports good ideas,” said Dunn. Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. with the fireworks scheduled to be set off at 9:15 p.m. (July 5 rain date). Visitors are invited to bring their blankets and lawn chairs. Substance abuse center- The Salis-
bury Substance Abuse Community Center does not provide treatment, but helps people who are vulnerable to relapse after treatment. “We are part of the solution. I was taught that if I’m not part of the solution, I’m part of the problem,” said Ohlsson. “You can’t do this alone and we know that. People who have support stay clean and sober longer.” The organization holds 38 meetings a week and is open 365 days a year. On Sept. 22 it will sponsor the Dove Pointe Lighting Up Recovery breakfast with John Shinholser, President of the McShin Foundation, serving as the guest speaker. The Salisbury Substance Abuse Community Center is also changing its name to the Recovery Resource Center. It is able to stay open through financial support from the community. Ohlsson said she wants to do more education and outreach in the community. She adds that there is a misconception by the public about what it takes to recover and who’s in recovery. “Unfortunately, addiction robs people of everything. They need to build their lives from the bottom up,” Ohlsson said. She added that her organization develops resources to help people rebuild their lives.

Citizen Warning/Alert Siren System

The Wicomico County Citizen Warning/Alert Siren System is designed to alert residents and visitors of Wicomico County about an imminent hazard to include weather-related danger such as a tornado warning. The specific emergency alerts will be broadcast over any or all of the 13 sirens located at local fire departments and the two maintained by the Wicomico County Department of Emergency Services. Wicomico’s siren system can be activated for either the entire county or for specific affected areas. In the event of an imminent hazard the alert tone – which differs from fire station alarms – will sound for a sustained two minutes. When the sirens sound, citizens should seek shelter immediately and then tune into local news media for additional information. Citizens should not call 9-1-1 to determine the hazard causing the activation. Sirens are tested at 6:30 p.m. the first Monday of every month.

of our friends are starting businesses,” said Abraham. “When you start something its like an infectious thing, everybody wants to start something too,” Ephrem said. Through the process of writing a
business plan through the YEA! program, Ephrem and Abraham have learned a lot, including the importance of planning and adapting. “The biggest lesson I learned is it’s just about being able to adapt,” said Abraham. “You think it’s going to be linear. We never thought we’d have to start side businesses to generate cash flow,” Ephrem added. “Nothing ever goes as you think it will go.”

Home Equity: You may have more than you think By Gee Dunsten, Sales Associate Long and Foster Real Estate
CoreLogic’s latest Equity Report revealed that 92 percent of all mortgaged properties are now in a positive equity situation. The report also revealed that “an additional 850,000 properties would regain equity if home prices rose another five percent.” Price Appreciation = Good News For Homeowners Frank Nothaft, CoreLogic’s Chief Economist, explains: “In Q4 of last year home equity increased by $680 billion or 11.5 percent, the 13th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. The improvement in equity reflects positive home prices and continued deleveraging of mortgage balances by households.” Anand Nallathambi, President & CEO of CoreLogic, believes this is a great sign for the market in 2016 as well, as he had this to say:
“The number of homeowners with more than 20 percent equity is rising rapidly. Higher prices driven largely by tight supply are certainly a big reason for the rise, but continued population growth, household formation and ultra-low interest rates are also factors. Looking ahead in 2016, we expect home equity levels to continue to build, which is a good thing for the long-term health of the U.S. economy.” But do they realize their equity position has changed? A study by Fannie Mae suggests that many homeowners are not aware that they have regained equity in their home as their investment has increased in value. For example, their study showed that 23 percent of Americans still believe their home is in a negative equity position when, in actuality, CoreLogic’s report shows that only eight percent of homes are in that position (down from nine percent in Q2). The study also revealed that only 37 percent of Ameri-
Cousins turn love for the beach into a fun business
By Al Higgins
Cousins Carrie Samis and Karen Maher, daughters of Jim and John Samis, originally from Wilmington, share a love for beachcombing and discovering treasures from the sea along with their great gift of creativity. In the past few years, the cousins have turned their shared love for the beach into a viable and fun business. “I guess I’m a bit of a hoarder,” said Carrie. “I enjoy walking the tiny beaches along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay and have found countless pieces of ancient sea glass and pottery washed ashore. I simply threw them into jars or boxes or used them as decorations; that was until my cousin and I began trying to turn the old glass into jewelry.” The bay is rich with pieces of sea
glass and pottery. Some of it is the result of ship wrecks as well as ill-advised dumping of trash in the nineteenth century. Regardless of its origin, the tides break the glass into small pieces, which in turn are rolled for years against the Bay’s sandy bottom. The result is glass that is highly polished, and has also morphed into a vast variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the more common colors are clear, brown and green – the color of traditional beer bottles – but on occasion Carrie and Karen stumble upon cobalt blue pieces. Even rarer still are reds, with orange being virtually non-existent. Coca-Cola bottle glass turns a tropical green after being carried by the seas and pottery shards are both beautiful Continued on page 6

This means that 37 percent of Americans with a mortgage Gee Dunsten fail to realize the opportune situation they are in. With a sizable equity position, many homeowners could easily move into a housing situation that better meets their current needs (moving to a larger home or downsizing). Fannie Mae spoke out on this issue in their report: “Homeowners who underestimate their homes’ values not only underestimate their home equity, they also likely underestimate: 1) how large a down payment they could make with their home equity, 2) their chances of qualifying for mortgages, and, therefore, 3) their opportunities for selling their current homes and for buying different homes.” Bottom Line If you are one of the many Ameri-

and interesting. Carrie recently found a piece of glass with a complete patent number, and after researching it she discovered it came from a perfume bottle that was made in the last century. “Due to the nature of the Bay, each sea glass piece is unique – there are no two that are exactly alike,” said Carrie. Each piece differs not only by the color and shape of the glass, but also by the way in which we turn them into jewelry. Some pieces may be wrapped along the outside edge with copper wire, while others may be resting in a silver cradle.” Carrie and Karen named their business Natural Elements and started out making a variety of different types of necklaces, but they have recently begun making bracelets, with earrings being planned for the future. The necklaces sell for about $35. Besides their jewelry, last year they began crafting Christmas ornaments and wreaths. Exciting additions to their jewelry business are the workshops they have held at the Discovery Center in Pocomoke. Recently 20 women paid $45
SALISBURY STAR • JULY 2016
for the opportunity to learn how to make their own sea glass jewelry. Each participant was given the materials to make three necklaces, with Carrie and Karen alongside to assist the ladies. Nearly all of the participants completed at least two necklaces, with some completing all three. To heighten the festive mood of the workshop, cocktails were served featuring the colors of the sea glass. There are currently talks underway to hold similar workshops at the YMCA and eventually to bring these skills to home parties. Natural Elements necklaces can be found at Bungalow Lodge in Berlin, Egretmoon Artworks in Chincoteague, Drum Point Market on Smith Island and Snapdragon in West Ocean City. The web site is www.Etsy.com/shop/ NaturalElementsShop. They can also be found on Facebook and Instagram as Natural Elements Shop and their email is: naturalelements@outlook.com. People are amazing. Many of us would look upon small pieces of glass on the sand as litter and pay it no mind. Others, like Carrie and Karen, see it as a rare resource and something they can transition into art. When you look at the necklaces these ladies have created I’m sure you too will view them as true works of art.

Priscilla Timken, owner of Chesapeake Tours and Promotions, has a passion for the rich history, natural beauty and unique culture of the Chesapeake Bay region. A former travel agent in Washington D.C., Priscilla often dreamt of starting a tour company as a way to help preserve and promote an appreciation for the heritage of the region. In 2011, Priscilla launched an online tour planning company for self-drive visitors on the Eastern Shore. Today, Chesapeake Tours and Promotions is a full service receptive tour operator for the region, providing custom tour planning services for groups, corporations, families and individuals. “It got started with a passion and a leap of faith and continues to grow on those two elements each andevery day!” Priscilla said. As CTP has evolved over the years, they currently provide tour planning services to two primary markers: the consumer/public market living in Salisbury and the surrounding area, and the group travel market coming to the Delmarva Peninsula. In 2012, the company began offering the local market day trips throughout the Delmarva Peninsula and the surrounding metro areas of D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. They custom design trips to new areas, but also provide trips to familiar destinations such as the Philadelphia Flower Show and Williamsburg. “Our customers love traveling as a small group and appreciate our focus on planning new, out-of-the-ordinary,
behind-the-scenes tour experiences,” Priscilla said. “With our 10 passenger van, we also offer private transportation hire for needs such as concierge airport shuttle, weddings, sporting events, Girls’ Day Out or executive shuttles.” For the inbound group travel market, they custom plan daytrips and tour packages throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Priscilla is a trained Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad tour guide and finds this to be a signature tour offering for the company. With the recent announcement of Harriet Tubman being featured on the U.S. $20 bill and the 2017 opening of the HTUGRR Visitor Center, they anticipate a significant rise in requests for these tours, which highlight the life of an extraordinary American icon. As a client of Maryland Capital Enterprises, Priscilla turned to the Women’s Business Center when beginning to work through the process of turning her idea and passion into a business. “As a woman entrepreneur, the experience has unique challenges, and it is fantastic having the support of the WBC,” Priscilla said. “You truly feel they are committed to your success.” Priscilla looks forward to expanding the tour experiences for a growing group market in the region. For the local market, her goal is to purchase a larger touring vehicle to accommodate overnight and extended stay trips. She also hopes to expand the opportunity to explore with local students. Priscilla has true passion about expanding her business: “There are lots of opportunities for growth and ways to keep ‘em coming back time and time again to our land of pleasant living!”

Atlantis Homes offers friendly Lombardi’s is known for its service, experience since 2000 great food at affordable prices By Carol Kinsley
Atlantis Homes LLC is a familyowned and operated business that has rapidly grown into one of Delmarva’s most innovative and progressive providers of modular and manufactured homes. Founded in 2000, Atlantis Homes offers friendly, personal service and years of experience. “Our housing consultants are all local to the area; you may know them from your community. Several have been in the industry for 15 years or longer. They can help you find a homesite, design the custom home of your dreams or choose from our huge selection of quick delivery model homes,” said Randy Merritt, Jr. From home centers located in Dover, Millsboro and Delmar, Del., or Pocomoke, Md., Atlantis serves homebuyers in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. “Our in-house construction manager assists with permitting and oversees all site work, and an in-house customer care team coordinates service and warranty work,” Merritt said. Atlantis is an independent modular and manufactured home retailer, working with several of the largest home-
Family Business
builders in the country. Home builders save time and money by buying materials in bulk and constructing homes inside a climate-controlled environment, year-round. Atlantis in turn passes these savings along to its homebuyers by purchasing homes in bulk — selling 75 to 100 homes a year. With low overhead and by partnering with local contractors, Atlantis is able to deliver complete turnkey home packages quicker and for less than traditional site-built construction. “When you purchase a home from Atlantis, you’re not on your own. Our team is involved in every step of the process from design to certificate of occupancy and beyond. All homes come with a warranty from the builder, and if there’s an issue, we even take care of that in-house. “A home is the largest investment that many people will ever make. It’s important to select a company that you can trust,” he added. “If you are in the market for a new home, Atlantis is the name to know.” For more information, visit www. atlantishomesllc.com.
Founded in 1979, Lombardi’s has been serving the Eastern Shore for 35 years. This independent, old-fashioned family restaurant is known for serving great food at reasonable prices. According to Van Glaman, owner and general manager, “Lombardi’s is what is considered a Scratch House — over 95 percent of our menu items are made here on premise.” When you dine at Lombardi’s, you know that they spend a lot of time in the back kitchen actually making your food. What you see in the front is simply the final assembly of your family’s meal, but the real magic takes place daily, behind the scenes. It’s where they hand form their burgers, from fresh 100 percent lean ground beef, where they make Lombardi’s soups, sauces and dough, where they make and bake croutons and lasagna and proof Lombardi’s homemade rolls. According to Glaman, “In many places, the back kitchen consists of a freezer, and yes, we do have one, too. But our refrigerated box is 10 times larger, because we serve food made with fresh ingredients whenever possible.” Why fresh? “Why not? Fresh ingredients taste better and are simply better for
Family Business
you,” he said. Lombardi’s menu includes a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches and subs. Lombardi’s Italian Cold Cut Sub is a crowd pleaser, as are the Grilled Reuben & Patty Melt. Lombardi’s Chicken Salad is another signature item. It’s made daily from 100 percent fresh chicken breast. Lombardi’s makes several varieties of pasta, available in either angel hair or penne as well as homemade lasagna stuffed full of a variety of six different cheeses. For appetizers, patrons have 14 different selections to choose from. “Lombardi’s Meatballs are fantastic, I can’t praise them enough... the Romano & Ricotta Cheeses… the Ricotta makes them more tender & flavorful... I could eat them by the dozen, especially with our Homemade Marinara,” Glaman said. Don’t forget the featured item, those Great Thin Crust Pizzas that Lombardi’s is known for.

Tilghman carries on family Customer service is the top tradition at Burnett White priority for Minuteman Press The Burnett White Tire and Auto Company was born in 1946. Mr. Burnett had a few partners over the years until selling the business to David Tilghman in 1979, and that’s where Dawn Tilghman comes into the picture. Dawn came to work for her dad – David – upon graduating from school in 1989 and 10 years later she bought the business from him. “I learned the business from the ground up,” said Dawn. “As a young girl I knew about tie rod ends, ball joints and front end alignments. In the early years we were primarily a tire company but we’ve grown and expanded our line of services. Besides automobile and truck tires we also service the agricultural and construction industry. If tire work is needed on a combine, a farm tractor or perhaps a rubber tired backhoe we send out a crew that is able to make repairs in the field – on the job site.” A major change in the business occurred when a front end alignment machine was purchased. “By virtue of the machine,” said Dawn, “we then needed a mechanic to make the necessary repairs. That eventually led us into the
Family Business
automotive repair business, which now keeps us very busy. We currently have a very strong staff of 14 employees. I refer to my position within the company as the door greeter, my staff does the work and they treat every vehicle as if it were Mom’s car. Should a customer complaint arise I do everything I can to make it right.” As an added service to her customers Dawn provides a shuttle service for those customers who need a ride to work or home while their vehicle is being serviced. They also maintain a WI-FI capability within their waiting room. Another valuable service is that whenever tires are bought at Burnett White the company will rotate the tires for free whenever the customer brings their vehicle in for service. Burnett White will continue to be a family business for years to come. Dawn’s son Jed joined the company in 1998 and is in charge of the front end of the store.

Four Square offers new name, same great service By Carol Kinsley
FOUR SQUARE is the new name of a long-time leader in insurance brokerage and benefits management formerly known as Innovative Benefit Solutions. The rebranding initiative introduced last month encompasses a new name, logo, tagline and color palette that more
Family Business
clearly reflects the evolution of the company from a solo practice begun in 1998 into a thriving company serving hundreds of businesses. FOUR SQUARE specializes in cre-
ating highly customized, full-service solutions for businesses of all sizes. Packages consist of group health solutions, benefit management, HR and employer compliance guidance, employee communication, individual health insurance, Medicare supplement, life and disability plans and more. “The ‘FOUR SQUARE’ brand reflects both what we do and how we think,” said Joni Waldych, president and founder of FOUR SQUARE. Describing the logo, she added, “Each of the four color blocks represents a major offering — Insurance, Benefits, Management and Solutions. Then the four blocks come together as a larger block to underscore that these services provide our clients with a total employee benefits resource, a squarely solid management package.” Waldych and her sister, Lynn Creasy, were launched separately into careers in banking in the late ’80s by an uncle. Waldych started as a teller at a bank in Fruitland before moving to Second National Federal Savings bank, where she later moved into human resources and became head trainer for the bank’s 34 offices. Her insurance career began in 1993 when she was hired by one of the largest insurance agencies in Maryland to merge two agencies together. She later observed there was a niche for an insurance agency that had expertise in HR, payroll and outsourcing to help educate companies on all aspects of employee benefits and started one — right in her own home. The sisters became coworkers when
PAGE 9 Creasy came on board in 2006, after retiring from a 22-year-career at Bank of America. She serves as vice president and specializes in health, life, disability, dental and vision insurance for groups and individuals located in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. “We listen to what our clients need and become a strategic partner, putting a solution in place that meets their needs,” Waldych said. “Every business is different and needs different solutions.” Listening to clients was also the impetus for a new tagline, “Providing business owners with peace of mind since 1998.” Waldych said, “Confidence in our abilities was consistently the main reason our clients said they hire us. We work really hard to make sure they can sleep well at night.” Creasy added, “At FOUR SQUARE we are passionate about insurance – and even more so about the people and companies we serve. Where some see transactions, we see humans, which we believe can make all the difference when it comes to managing insurance selection, benefits packages, strategic planning and compliance.” FOUR SQUARE is located in Ocean City, Md., but its reach extends as far as New York, Florida and Texas. Creasy explained, “The geography we work in is based on the clients that we serve.” For more information, visit the company’s new website at www.FourSquareBenefits.com or call 410-2138338 or find them on Facebook.

Bailey’s Chesapeake Jewelers has passion from fine jewelry, bay By Carol Kinsley
Bailey’s Chesapeake Jewelers is aptly named, since the fine jewelry offered is evidence of the designers’ passion for the Chesapeake Bay. Before his death in the early ‘80s, Jonathan Bailey, a Master goldsmith and award-winning designer, introduced his wife, Melissa, to the world of jewelry design and crafting. Their jewelry repair shop expanded to a retail store as they created icons of the bay — skipjacks, workboats, fish, waterfowl, crabs and oysters — first carved in wax and then molded in precious metals. These pieces were sold from their small store at 30400 Mount Vernon Rd., Princess Anne. Eventually Mike Descoteaux met the young widow and discovered they shared a love of the bay. They married and together they have carried the family business, now known as Chesapeake Jewelers, beyond the small brick and
Family Business
mortar store of Bailey Jewelers, which remains open, with an online presence at www.chesapeakejewelers.com. There you will find jewelry in categories such as “Chesapeake Crabs and Critters,” “Chesapeake Nautical and Nice,” “Chesapeake Workboats and Watercraft” or simply, “At the Beach.” Pieces range from rings, pendants and charms, earrings, bracelets and bracelet beads, swap tops, chains and unique “one-of-a-kinds.” Several times a year Mike and Melissa pack up an extensive inventory and set up a booth at events and festivals. They plan to be at the Rock Hall Waterman’s Appreciation Day in Rock Hall on July 3 and at the Chincoteague Blueberry Festival in Virginia July 22-24. If you don’t find what you are looking for, commission a design especially for you or for a loved one. For more information, call 410-251-0394.
Maryland Delegate’s Report Since the 436th session of the Maryland General Assembly adjourned on April 11, I have maintained a very hectic schedule. During the interim our office is able to meet with constituents, businesses, local and state leaders, and develop ideas for potential legislation. Over the past few months I have spoken to Governor Larry Hogan, several of his cabinet secretaries, and Comptroller Peter Franchot on wideranging topics such as health, infrastructure, and tax policy. I’ve also made it a priority to attend as many local government meetings as possible. My district is entirely within the borders of Wicomico County and contains the municipalities of Salisbury, Fruitland, and Delmar. I encourage everyone to attend the meetings of their local government and if you see me, please come up and say hi. I’d be happy to discuss any is-

DVB to renovate Courtesy
Delmarva Veteran Builders has been hired for a complete renovation of the 15,000 square foot Courtesy Chevrolet Cadillac in Salisbury at 2531 N Salisbury Blvd., Salisbury. The project includes painting the exterior of the entire building and gutting and remodeling the interior of the dealership. The interior renovation will include a build out of a state-of-the-art custom lounge and showroom designed with a Chevrolet Cadillac branded look and feel. “We are excited about this project because it is DVB’s first car dealership,” said Chris Eccleston, Delmarva Veteran Builders. “From the beginning of the project we built a solid relationship with the Courtesy Cadillac team knowing that they too worked for a vet-
eran owned business. Owner Ray Nordstrom is a former Marine Corps Officer and Naval Officer.” The project is underway with a completion date of Sept. 1.
Harvest Baptist relocates
SVN | Miller Commercial Real Estate Advisors John McClellan, CCIM and Will Moore recently sold Northpointe Tabernacle on Dixon Road in Salisbury. The 8,000 square foot building is situated on nine acres and located just outside of subdivision and golf course Nutters Crossing. After only a few months on market the property sold to Harvest Baptist Church, represented by Mike Dunn of Keller Williams Realty. Harvest Baptist Church has occupied the space since early June.
Do you own a watercraft, fourwheeler, motor home, travel trailer, antique auto or other recreational vehicle? Do you think you automatically have coverage under your homeowners or automobile insurance policy? Think again! You may have limited or no coverage for your recreational vehicle, under your home or auto insurance policy. Let’s briefly take a look at a few coverage items: • Watercrafts - Most home insurance companies may allow you to add coverage for your watercraft, for an additional cost, if your vessel qualifies. A separate Watercraft policy will provide you much broader coverage, such as towing, personal effects and possibly pollution coverage. • Motor Homes - Most auto insurance carriers may allow you to add coverage for your motor home to your auto insurance policy, for an additional cost, if your vehicle meets their underwriting guidelines. A separate motor home policy may provide you much broader coverage such as vacation liability and lodging expenses as well as the option to purchase replacement cost coverage as opposed to actual cash value, which is all most auto policies will provide. • Four Wheelers - Most home insurance carriers may only provide liability coverage while the four wheeler is located on the residence premises. Once the vehicle leaves your property, there may no longer be any coverage. A separate four wheeler policy may provide
much broader coverage, allowing you to take the vehicle off premises as well as providing physical damage coverage for losses such as theft or vandalism. • Travel Trailers - Most auto insurance carriers may allow you to add coverage for your travel trailer to your auto insurance policy, for an additional cost, if the vehicle meets their underwriting. In most cases, the liability coverage is automatically extended from the vehicle pulling the travel trailer. A separate travel trailer policy may provide much broader coverage such as vacation liability, lodging expenses and the option to have replacement cost coverage as opposed to actual cash value, which is what may be provided by the auto insurance policy. • Antique Autos - You may add them to your auto policy, but they are normally covered for liability only. Having an antique auto policy allows you to have coverage for your prized possession at an agreed value as opposed to an actual cash value. As you can see in many instances you may find some coverage under your home or auto insurance policy but you’ll always find broader coverage under a separate policy. Most carriers that write separate policies for each of these vehicle types are a specialist in those areas and are able to provide the best coverage and claims service, as they have an in-depth understanding of those vehicles and their usages. Don’t think you’re covered? We can help! Call a licensed agent at Avery Hall Insurance today, to review your coverage needs and obtain a no obligation quote.

It’s all about respect
By Quality Staffing
When it seems like our society is falling apart at the seams and every day is full of hate speech and sadness, how can you control your own workplace atmosphere? Can those negative vibes stop at your door? In the work place, you bring together people of different educational experiences, political views, genders, races, religions, etc., for one common purpose: to advance your corporate goals. The most effective way to accomplish this is to work together as a unified team, ideally, harmoniously. Today, this task may seem insurmountable. Daily, we are surrounded by news of ugliness, hurtful words and acts. The weight of all of that is bound to come into work with many employees. Is it possible to create a “happy bubble” inside your company walls? What is the one thing that every act, whether verbal or physical, of violence and hate have in common? A lack of respect: respect for life, respect for another’s feelings and abilities, respect for yourself. It’s that simple. Remember, respect is not only demonstrated through your words but by your actions and nonverbal communication. Create a respectful workplace and your newly empowered employees will exceed your company’s goals. No matter the size of your workforce, it is good to periodically touch base with your employees on a personal level. If animosity, disrespect or discontentment is allowed to exist and fester, larger problems will arise and it will ultimately affect your productivity. Provide a safe, open environment for discussing issues, whether you have an open door policy or actual forum. The easiest way to demonstrate respect for another is to listen to them. Whether
it is a matter you can rectify or not, if they feel heard and understood, you have already won half the battle. Promote an atmosphere of acceptance and positivity whenever you can. You should always dole out more praise than criticism. Encourage goal setting and reward employees as they achieve those goals. Evaluate suggestions for actual implementation. Not only would this be a source of pride for the employee but it will foster a sense of ownership over the project. You’ve heard the old saying, “happy wife, happy life.” The concept holds true for business, “happy employee, happy workplace.” Create, distribute and enforce an anti-discrimination policy which mirrors your state laws (every state is different). These policies protect everyone and help to foster a safe environment. The easiest thing to remember here is consistency, treating everyone the exact same way. Be mindful that laws and policies change all the time so your HR Department must be vigilant in staying current for compliance. It may seem counterintuitive but leading from aloft creates far less respect for authority than it does resentment and a lack of trust. Not only are you oblivious to the daily needs and concerns of your employees but they might feel inconsequential and replaceable. People will follow those who battle alongside of them more readily than someone who dictates from above. Also, micromanaging your employees removes their empowerment, their desire to achieve the task on their own. The many benefits of creating a safe, happy workplace are obvious but sometimes how to get there is not. You may not be able to change the world but making your little corner of it happy for others is a great start!

Robson met with members of Congress and their staffs as part of the Financial Services Institute (FSI) team on June 15. “Speaking directly to a member of Congress and letting them know what hard-working Americans are going through every day is invaluable,” said Robson. “This was an incredible opportunity for us to educate them on what Americans need in terms of financial advice and how legRobson islators and regulators actions affect their lives.” As part of the FSI grassroots team, Robson spoke to the members of Maryland’s Congressional delegation about these critical issues: the Senior$afe Act, which will help protect seniors from financial abuse and preserving the independent contractor status of independent financial advisors. The independent financial advisor members of FSI serve more than 15 million American households. Members of Congress with whom FSI members met serve on House and Senate committees important to the investment community - including the Senate Banking Committee, Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, House Financial Services Committee and House Education and Workforce Committee. “We are very pleased to have Mr. Robson as an engaged member working on behalf of their clients,” said FSI President & CEO Dale Brown. “Conscientious members like Bruce help bring real-life experience to our efforts as we advocate for independent financial advisors and the clients they serve.”

Now is the ideal time to buy
Linda Moran, president of the Coastal Association of Realtors, is shown with Sen. Jim Mathias.
Moran appointed to MEDCO board
At the recommendation of Sen. Jim Mathias, Linda Moran, the 2016 president of the Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR) and a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeService PenFed Realty, was appointed to the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO) Board of Directors. Moran was confirmed by the Maryland Senate and received a proclamation from Governor Larry Hogan. She was later sworn into the position in Worcester County. Moran is finishing the term of the late Bob Warfield, a career Ocean City realtor who passed away earlier this year. The term ends in 2018. The legislative purposes of MEDCO are to relieve unemployment; encourage a balanced economy and the increase of business activity and commerce; help retain and attract business activity and commerce; promote economic development; and promote the health, safety, rightful gain of employment, and welfare of Maryland residents.
For the third consecutive month, contracts, or pending sales, are up on the Lower Eastern Shore, according to the latest figures from the Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR). May 2016 showed an overall 16.8 percent increase in contracts in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties, compared to the same time last year. Individually, contracts for single family home sales increased by 27.5 percent in Worcester County, by 9.1 percent in Wicomico County, and remained steady in Somerset County. Settlements were down by nine percent in May, compared to the same time last year. Inventory was down by eight percent and listing and sales prices were down by 4 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. Overall, days-on-market increased by 2.5 percent. However, days-on-market for Worcester County’s single family homes and condominiums decreased by 18.6 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, indicating increased movement of units in the resort area. Decreased inventory is a trend be-
ing reported not only across the state of Maryland, but also across the country. In the Maryland Association of Realtors April 2016 housing report, President Bonnie Casper said the state’s spring market has been brisk, but inventory is not keeping up with demand. Lawrence Yun, chief economist with the National Association of Realtors, has repeatedly reported this year that decreased inventory numbers across the country are driving up prices and squeezing some buyers out of the market. However, with prices down on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore, as well as a mortgage rate that has remained below four percent in 16 of the past 17 months, now is the ideal time to buy. CAR’s monthly local housing statistics are pulled from the association’s Multiple Listing Service, which represents the activity of over 1,000 local realtors in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

so far, it is all working out better than expected. Trust begins with you, not in the outer world of situations and circumstance or with other people. In the book “Speed of Trust,” Stephen R. Covey shares that the way to build trust within ourselves is to begin by honoring our word to ourselves. For example, if you say that you will exercise in the morning you honor your word regardless of how you slept or how you feel when you wake up. Honoring your word to yourself becomes more important than how we feel in the moment. This takes practice and slowly I began to apply this approach of honoring my word in all the areas of my life that needed improvement. I didn’t over-commit when I was excited and I didn’t undercommit when I was anxious or fearful; steadiness became the name of my game. I stretched the goals only after I had achieved confidence and success. There is a price to be paid to achieve those precious things we want in life that money cannot buy. It takes work and many of us don’t do the work consistently. More often than not we don’t do the work because we don’t know what we are supposed to do. First, we need to learn to ask our spirit and our heart what we want; the mind will help
PAGE 15 you develop a plan. Second, we have to take action and know that we’ll be guided along the way. Third, we persevere even when we don’t see the results; this is where trust begins. This last step is the hard and tricky part of the process because when we don’t see the results soon enough we tend to give up, and this is how we learn to not trust. When I don’t see results I like to think of Nelson Mandela who never gave up his dream even though he spent many years in jail. It appeared that he would never be able to do anything meaningful with his life but eventually a way opened up for him and he led his nation in what he believed in and taught all of us a lesson in perseverance and trust. Every day we have an opportunity to begin anew. Start today to build trust that you can achieve your dreams. Nothing holds you back except yourself.

Sports
Salisbury University men’s lacrosse wins 11th national championship The Salisbury University men’s lacrosse team won its 11th national championship game in program history as it defeated Tufts University, 14-13, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The win comes five years to the date that Salisbury beat Tufts in the 2011 championship game. With the win, the Sea Gulls are back on top of the Division III men’s lacrosse world and the win vaults Head Coach Jim Berkman into sole possession of the top spot in NCAA men’s lacrosse history for championship victories. “It has been a tremendous year, 24 games, we’ve lost by one goal, and were fortunate enough to win by one today,” Berkman said, “It was a great team effort and I am very proud of this senior class that’s done a great job of motivating our guys to put us in a position to win our 11th championship.” Finishing the season with a 23-1 record, the 23 wins ties the 2007 and 2012 national championship teams as the program record for wins in a season. A game of runs throughout, Salisbury was able to outlast Tufts and use a crucial save as time was winding down in the last quarter to come out on top. The Jumbos got things going in the rematch of the 2014 national championship game, getting goals just 33 seconds apart, starting with 12:54 remaining in the opening quarter to get the early advantage. Nick Garbarino started off his stellar championship performance by tacking on Salisbury’s first goal of the game. The Gulls got the Jumbo’s defense to slide to a dodging James Burton, who pushed it behind to Nathan Blondino. Blondino pushed the opposite side with his left hand before passing it across crease to Garbarino who finished with a quick stick to cut the Tufts’ lead in half. Garbarino and Burton ended the day with identical three-goal, twoassists stat lines. Tufts added its third tally, coming from Jake Gillespie, before Salisbury would tack on three in a row to end the quarter. The first in the run came as Garrett Reynolds chased down a groundball near the sideline, level with goal line extended, before getting a head of steam and going straight to the net, blowing past his defender and taking a hit on the crease to finish. With the clock getting low in the first and a shot clock timer on for the Gulls, Brendan Bromwell saw the
Tufts defense was giving him space, he stepped in and made them pay from 14 yards with 46 seconds left in the half. As it looked like time was going to expire in the opening stanza, Burton dodged hard down the left alley before ripping a pass across the offensive zone where senior captain Thomas Cirillo was waiting. Cirillo wasted no time and let it go, scorching the top-right corner as the clock showed all zeroes to put the Gulls up 4-3 going into the second. Austin Carbone scored first in the second quarter, but Salisbury went right into the game’s biggest scoring run. Following Carbone’s tally, Salisbury went on an eight-goal run over the next 20:16 minutes. In the 8-0 run, Carson Kalama, Burton, Garbarino, and Blondino each added two goals to put Salisbury up, 12-4. The highlight of the stretch in the second quarter was at the end of the period as Salisbury struck again as the clock expired. Garbarino dodged hard from behind the cage to his right and dished it to Blondino, who in one motion caught the ball and ripped an underhand shot under the cross bar to send the Gulls into the locker for halftime up 9-4. The goal was Blondino’s 100th point of the season, as he also assisted on two tallies earlier in the game and ended the championship with two goals and two assists. Going into the third, Salisbury kept rolling. After a Burton goal, Tufts got possession and Zach Richman had an open look on the doorstep that he tried to fake low and go high, but Colin Reymann exploded up from his low stance and stuffed the Jumbo look. Strong defense led to offense and on the ensuing possession Blondino tallied a goal. Kalama received a feed and had an open look with a good angle from 10 yards, but he hesitated so Blondino could circle around from behind the net and get a quick catch and score. Gillespie scored the game’s 17th goal with 7:11 left in the third to spark a 7-0 run for the Jumbos that ended with a John Uppgren tally with 13:09 left in the fourth to cut the Salisbury lead to 12-11, before the Gulls went to their senior midfielders to close it out. Cirillo, the newly minted national midfielder of the year, put a stop to the Tufts run, going low to low on the man up and putting it through the keeper’s legs to get a 13-11 lead. With 10:25 left, Tufts responded, going back to Uppgren, but Salisbury was able to answer back.

With Tufts winning a high percentage of its faceoffs down the stretch, and with a one-goal lead, Salisbury opted to slow the pace on offense. With a shot clock timer on, Burton dodged down the right alley and his shot hit off the keeper and found twine to go back up by two. Following a long possession for Tufts with less than four minutes remaining, Reymann made a big stop, but Richman was there to scoop and score on the ensuing rebound to make it a one-goal game. Tufts won the draw following Richman’s goal and had just over three minutes to notch the equalizer. With Salisbury gaining possession back the Gulls failed a clear low in their defensive zone but just as it looked like Richman was going to come in one-on-zero on Reymann, Hunter Schaeffer hustled back and caused a turnover to get Salisbury possession back. Opting to slow the pace again, Salisbury turned the ball over via a shotclock violation with 45 seconds left.
Tufts cleared the ball and got a timeout with 34 seconds left with the game on the line. Uppgren drove down the left alley on a sweep and pushed it forward to an attackman behind the net. Uppgren circled back up field to gain depth on his cut and went back toward the net where he caught the feed and released a quick shot to the low right side of the net from just off the crease. In excellent position, Reymann got a piece of the ball with his body, corralled the groundball, and threw it into the Philadelphia night with five seconds left and by the time the ball got back to the turf, the Gulls’ bench emptied as the 2016 NCAA Division III men’s lacrosse champions. “I think it was more of a reactionary save,” Reymann said. “Next I knew the ball was in my stick. Looked up at the clock, five seconds left, dumped it down field and that was that.” Reymann ended the day tied for a career high in saves with 15 and was named the championship game’s Most Outstanding Player.

First round pick D.J. Stewart adjusts to first full season of pro baseball By Mike McClure
D.J. Stewart came into his first full season of pro ball as one of the Delmarva Shorebirds’ players to watch. After roughly half a season in Salisbury, Stewart was recently promoted to Frederick. The 22 year-old was drafted with the Baltimore Orioles’ 25th pick in the first round of the 2015 draft. Born Demetrius Jerome “D.J.” Stewart to Reggie (a 13th round pick of the San Diego Padres in the 1991 draft who played in the Minors from 1991-93) and Dana (who played softball at Santa Fe College) Stewart, he grew up north of Jacksonville and played football and baseball at The Boilles School in Jacksonville before moving on to Florida State University where he played baseball. “The earlier part of the season you definitely know you’re up north. The first day we were here it was snowing,” Stewart said prior to moving up to Frederick. “Now it’s starting to heat up, just like Florida. It makes me feel like I’m home.” Stewart played 70 games with Aberdeen in the New York Penn League las year. He said the biggest adjustment he’s had to make this season is getting used to playing every day for a full season. “My offseason preparations made me ready for it. It’s just being away from home,” said Stewart. “There’s a lot of ups and downs. I’m just trying to
July is a tough month for outdoors folks. The woods are full of critters that like to bite or sting and other than fishing off-shore for tuna or marlin, fishing can be pretty slow. Sure, you can still go out and catch a nice mess of perch, spots, croakers and juvenile rockfish, but summertime is when we get called upon to spend time at the beach, have family picnics and maybe take the kids on a vacation to Disney. However, we can still manage our family obligations and get out and have some fun. As a young boy my folks shipped me up to the state of Maine every summer to work on my uncles dairy farms. There were three of them around the greater Augusta area and they welcomed the free labor I provided. Early mornings and much of the late afternoon was spent milking the herd. My uncles had milking machines but they still required me to hand strip the cows after the milking machines got all that they could. The middle of the day was spent haying. Maine may be a northern state but the summer temperature still made it into the 90s. My job was to throw the 60 to 80 pound bales onto the tractor drawn wagon, and when we got back to the barn I climbed high into the hayloft to stack the bales as they came up the conveyor. That was a tough job. Not only was it very hot in the barn’s loft, but the hay dust stuck to every pore on my body and filled my lungs to the point where I thought they would explode. I truly hated that job. The fun came when I was allowed to go out and shoot woodchucks. Not being from Delmarva I was surprised to discover that woodchucks – or groundhogs, as they are called here – are a fairly new species to the area, whereas they are ubiquitous through-
The Great Outdoors out the New England states. The fact is, they are here and here to stay. These destructive little rodents are the bane of dairy, as well as grain, farmers, as they dig deep holes, surrounded by mounds of soil, which interfere with farm equipment and present a danger to livestock. This is where we, as outdoorsmen, come in. It has been my experience that most farmers will allow hunters to hunt ground hogs on their property. They are well aware of the problems these critters present and are happy to be rid of them. Some hunters favor high-powered, flat shooting rifles when hunting groundhogs. Rifles that can reach out 300–400 yards virtually eliminate the animal’s excellent eyesight and skittish nature. There are some of us, however, who chose to hunt the whistlepig with bows and arrows. When using archery equipment two things are a given. Your success rate in harvesting ground hogs will plummet and you will lose a lot of arrows. I’ve tried painting my arrows with high visibility fluorescent red paint, but nonetheless, the arrows find a way to slip under the grass and disappear. Hunting groundhogs with archery gear is difficult and costly but the rewards are great. August will bring us back into the woods in preparation for the early deer archery season. Until then, think about sneaking along fence rows and wood lines trying to get a glimpse of a groundhog, and bring along your favorite varmint rifle or bow. If nothing else, you’ll be sharpening your stalking skills.

find some momentum. In the game of baseball, sometimes it falls and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a game of failures but nobody likes to fail.” In his 62 games with the Shorebirds, Stewart hit 75-for-213 (.230) with 12 doubles, four home runs, 27 runs, 25 RBIs, 42 walks, and 16 steals. D.J. said

he doesn’t worry about being a number one pick. “I just try to play the game. There’s pressure whether you’re the first pick or the last pick. There’s pressure for everyone in the locker room. This is our job,” Stewart said. “I just want to be better than I was in the first half and just have fun and play baseball.” Stewart added that he loves play-
ing in the Orioles’ farm system and enjoyed playing in front of the fans on Delmarva. “We want to win up and down this organization. Every guy’s goal is to get to Baltimore and win a World Series,” said Stewart. “Our fan base is great here on Delmarva. I like the fans here. I haven’t had anything negative at all.”

Along with the national player of the year award, Dabbs was named the top defensive midfielder in the nation for the third time in his career. Also for the third time in his career, Dabbs was named a first-team All-American. Dabbs collects his hardware following his fourth year as the team’s top option at defensive midfield. On the season, the St. Mary’s City native played in all 23 games, while accumulating 18 ground balls and 21 caused turnovers. Cirillo is named the Fran McCall Award: Outstanding Midfielder for the first time in his career, in addition to collecting his second-straight first-team All-American honor. Cirillo also added an honorable mention nod his sophomore season. Cirillo makes in onto the first team for the second-straight season as he has gotten 82 points off of 52 goals and 30 assists. On the year, the senior captain took 167 shots (.311 shooting percentage) and added 24 ground balls as well. Also getting All-American honors this season for the Gulls are second teamers Nathan Blondino, James Burton, Kyle Tucker, and Will Nowesnick; third teamer Andrew Ternahan, and honorable mention honorees Carson Kalama and Brendan Bromwell. Blondino earns his first All-American nod and was the team’s leading scorer. Sitting at 97 points (52 goals and 45 assists), Blondino was tied with Cirillo for the second most goals on the team, while his 45 assists are also good for second on the team. Fifth-year senior Burton gets his first All-American recognition as one of the nation’s best facilitators out of the midfield position. Burton led the team with 49 assists, and added 30 goals for a season total of 79 points.

Tucker’s 47 caused turnovers tied with Ternahan for the team lead, while his 65 groundballs was third best for the Gulls. Nowesnick is named to the second team team in his second season in a starting role, during just his sophomore season. The Lake Forest, Ill. native had 49 groundballs this season and 40 caused turnovers.

Ternahan is another first time AllAmerican as this is the junior’s first season as the team’s top long-stick
midfielder. Ternahan leads the team in ground balls at 102, while he tied for the team lead in caused turnovers (47).

The Gulls also had seven named to the All-ECAC South All-Star first and second teams. Berkman led the Sea Gulls to an overall 23-1 record, including an 8-0 clip in Capital Athletic Conference play on the way to the national title. The team also made its 22nd-straight appearance in the CAC championship game and its 28th-straight appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament. By capturing his 11th national championship with the team, Berkman is now the record holder for NCAA lacrosse championships by a head coach across all divisions. He also claimed the College Coach of the Year Award from the Maryland State Lacrosse Coaches Association. Cirillo was joined by three other Sea Gulls on the All-ECAC South first team in Blondino, Tucker, and Ternahan. Salisbury also had Kalama, Burton, and Nowesnick named to the All-ECAC South second team. Track and field- Salisbury University men’s track and field senior Luke Campbell capped his stellar career in maroon and gold in the 2016 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field National Championships, adding two more individual national championships to his tally to bring his career total to 11. The Salisbury 4x400-meter relay team also earned All-American honors during the third day of the meet. Campbell began the day on a strong note for the Sea Gulls, tallying his fourth-straight national championship in the 110-meter hurdles, giving him the title in each season that he was been a Sea Gull. He got off to a strong start in the race, and maintained a neck-andneck run with University of Wisconsin-
Platteville’s Dan Arnold through the whole event, as the two battled for the lead. Over the final hurdle, Campbell created the space that he needed and crossed the finish line in 13.93 seconds to take the national title. With the win, Campbell set the record for most combined national championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons for NCAA Division III Men’s Track and Field with 10 total titles, before notching the 11th in the 400-meter hurdles. “It is an awesome feeling. Going into freshman year, this is stuff you only dream of, and I never would have imagined that I would be able to get a national championship let alone, have the record,” Campbell said. “It is something that I am always going to cherish because it only comes once in a lifetime.” “I am really proud of him. I think he focused very well and prepared extremely well the entire year,” head coach Jim Jones said. “I am really proud of what he has accomplished as one of the best ever in Division III, and I’m not just proud of what he’s accomplished as an athlete, but how he has carried himself as a man throughout his four years.” The Sea Gulls closed the day with their second-straight outdoor AllAmerican effort in the 4x400 relay, as Campbell, junior Jerel Madison, and sophomores Zach Schmelz and Eric Halton posted a time of 3:17.90 to place eighth in the race. With both national titles and the 4x400 relay AllAmerican, Campbell added three more All-American honors to his trophy case, bringing his career total to 16.

She shot just under 50 percent for her career, with a 49.4 shooting percentage. This season, Wallenhorst and the Sea Gulls posted an 18-3 record and claimed the 16th CAC championship in program history. Salisbury advanced to the NCAA tournament for the 17th time, advancing to the NCAA regional final. Wallenhorst was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference’s 2016 Division III ECAC South women’s la-
crosse Offensive Player of the Year and head coach Jim Nestor the ECAC South Coach of the Year. The Sea Gulls also had five named to the All-ECAC South All-Star teams, the organization announced. Salisbury had one All-ECAC South first-team All-Star in sophomore goalkeeper Gianna Falcone, while juniors Gabbi Nieves, Kayla Miller and Kacy Koolage joined Wallenhorst on the AllECAC South second team.

She also turned away 113 opponent shots in 20 games this season, posting over 1,039 minutes in the goal. Falcone was also named to the All-CAC first team and an IWLCA third-team All-American. Nieves stepped up as an all-around leader on both ends of the field for the Gulls this season, leading the squad with 41 goals, while finishing second with 50 points. On the defensive end, Nieves led the way with 26 caused turnovers, while ranking second with 32 ground balls. She also chipped in with nine assists on the offensive end, while collecting 18 draw controls. Nieves added a first-team All-CAC selection and an IWLCA first-team AllAmerican selection on the year. Miller and Koolage were both instrumental parts to a Salisbury defense that ranked second in the country with a 5.19 scoring defense. Koolage ranked fourth on the team with 14 caused turnovers, while adding 18 ground balls. She also ranked third with 20 draw controls on the year. Miller finished third on the team with 31 ground balls, while adding five caused turnovers. Miller was also named to the All-CAC first team, while Koolage was named to the second team. Wallenhorst also earned Academic All-American honors for the second year in a row, this time moving up to first-team status. Wallenhorst becomes the eighth first-team Academic AllAmerican in school history and just the second from the women’s lacrosse program. She graduated with a 4.0 cumulative GPA as a business accounting major. As a member of the at-large team, Wallenhorst was chosen from Academic All-District performing student-athletes from field hockey, swimming, tennis, lacrosse, water polo, and golf.

batted .444 with 12 doubles and her 55 RBI rank ninth in Division III softball. Knussman is a two-time All-American, earning first-team accolades in 2014, as well. She hit .434 this year with 28 extra-base hits including 16 doubles and 11 home runs. The 11 long balls rank 14th nationally, while her 51 runs batted in are good for 18th in the country. Simpson was named the 2016 Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III South Player of the Year, while four Sea Gulls were named to the AllECAC South All-Star first team, the league announced. Simpson was joined on the AllECAC South first team by Dorsey, Knussman, and Annah Brittingham. Dorsey and Knussman both again proved to be two of Salisbury’s offensive leaders during the 2016 season, while both were also named NFCA first-team All-Americans and first-team All-CAC selections. Brittingham was a force at the plate and in the circle for the Sea Gulls this season, posting a 19-3 record and a 1.44 earned-run average as a pitcher. Her wins led the team, along with her .156 opposing batting average, while her ERA was second on the squad. She also led the way with 142 strike outs on the year. At the plate, Brittingham batted .396, good for fifth on the team, while scoring 39 runs and driving in 24. She was named an All-CAC first-team member for her season. Men’s tennis- Salisbury University senior Eric Spangler became the first All-American for the men’s tennis program since 2010 and the first to earn the honor in singles play since 2008, by winning his opening match of the 2016 NCAA Division III Singles Championship. Spangler topped the University of Redlands’ Chase Lipscomb in three sets in the first round, before falling in straight sets to the top-seeded Noah Farrell from Middlebury College in the round of 16. In the opener, Spangler dropped the first set, which remained on serve late before Lipscomb broke Spangler to take the first set 7-5. Spangler did not go easily, picking up the early break in the second, and never looking back for a 6-0 victory. It was another early break in the third set that gave Spangler control and he was able to serve out the match, doing so on his fourth matchpoint opportunity for the 5-7, 6-0, 6-4 victory. With the win, he joined Doug Neagle (1996 and ‘97), Nathan Bell (1997), Ben Madarang (1999), and Brendan Kincaid (2008) as the only singles All-Americans in program history. Along with the All-American honor, Spangler also earned his 60th career singles victory, becoming the first Sea Gull to reach that plateau in program history. He completes his career with 126 wins in both singles and doubles play for the most of any Sea Gull.

It’s not just about the competition; we want our teams to have fun and create memories that will last for years to come. We have chosen a great destination for our participants and their families and we know that they will enjoy their time on the Eastern Shore.” Daily admission and weeklong passes will be sold on site at each event.

On July 4, Westside Historical Society will have a special program for Independence Day celebrations with the dedication of a program which began last fall, the public exhibit of dozens of banners honoring local veterans, displayed from the street light poles along the streets of Mardela Springs. Each banner has been sponsored by a family member or loved one who served our nation in the military at some time in its history, or are presently serving. The oldest veteran banner is from World War I, and several are from recent years or are still serving. A number of World War II vets are included, the oldest living one being Melvin Bradley. Each banner carries a picture of the veteran being honored, the branch of service and date of service, and other information supplied by the sponsor. Some, sadly bear the notation KIA, while some proudly proclaim honors – Bronze Star, Silver Star, Purple Heart, and others. The banners will stay up until Veterans Day, and then be displayed again for the next two years, beginning around Memorial Day. Sponsors also receive two small banners that can be used as they wish. Veterans do not have to be residents of Mardela Springs. The idea for the project began last summer, when Westside Historical Society Board members Charlie and Melissa Echard were visiting near Pittsburgh and saw a similar display of local veterans being honored. Their son Chase, a student at Mardela High School, said, “Why don’t we do that in Mardela Springs?” When they returned home, he and Charles presented the idea to WHS and the Board unanimously embraced it.
It was officially launched as a project in November. Charles Echard agreed to chair the program, and his father, Charles Echard Sr., a WW II fighter pilot, is on one of the banners. Since then approximately 40 banners have been ordered. Orders can still be taken until mid-August this year. Later than that and they would only fly for a few weeks. However, applications submitted after that will be displayed next Memorial Day. The Dedication Program will begin at 11 a.m. on the grounds of the Adkins Historical Museum Complex on Bratten St. and Railroad Ave. Since this is the day the Adkins Historical Society presents its annual Old Fashioned Fourth of July celebration, it seemed a most appropriate pairing of activities. This Dedication is open to public, and Retired Brig. General Anthony Sarbanes will deliver a short address. The name of each veteran featured on a banner will be read, along with a statement of their service, and sponsors will receive the small personal banners. Chairs for the sponsors will be reserved, but others might want to bring a lawnchair. Parking will be available on nearby streets. As part of the Adkins 4th of July celebrations, food will be available, and there also will be music and other entertainments. Westside Historical Society will offer free tours of the Barren Creek Heritage Museum at 413 Main St. from 12 to 2 p.m. There is no cost for admission to any of the day’s festivities! For more information email Westside Historical Society at westsidehistorical@gmail.com or phone 443-7839612 or 410-726-8047.

Recent James M. Bennett grad Ramsey pursues career in art
By Rachel Farris
Dominique Ramsey graduated last month from James M. Bennett High School. Since she was three or four years old, Ramsey spent every moment pursuing art. When she was little, she would draw cats, dogs, and Pokemon all over every surface - from drawing books to walls. She would attempt to recreate the pictures and characters she saw on book covers. “In fourth grade I was banned for a whole entire week from drawing because I would do it so much, and I didn’t do my work,” Ramsey recalled. Still immersed in the visual arts and design, she uses a variety of mediums, such as painting, pen and ink, watercolors, pastel, charcoal, and graphite. Her favorite to use is pen and ink, but rather than the expensive drawing pens she prefers fountain pens and inkwells. Not only are these cheaper, she said, but she also finds them easier to use, and they last longer if used wisely. Certain inks are waterproof, she added, and can be watercolored over for a great effect. This past year, she was in a Visual Performing Arts Program in which she would go to Wicomico High School for three hours every day during school, where they would create a project a

week. “You express yourself in bigger projects,” Ramsey said, adding that it was challenging to create such large projects for many students; however, she found the experience to be easy and fun. The class was actually an AP class this year, though she said that the students were given no warning that it would be so advanced. “I really liked the class,” she said. “It is a really good class, and it does change your life and really does help you improve in your art.” Ramsey has also entered several art competitions. She explained that her junior year, there was a senior who was always winning awards for her art. Others were jealous, she said, but the girl’s art was “so good you can’t be mad at her. She was also very inspirational.” (She now attends Rhode Island School of Design.) During Ramsey’s own senior year, she began “racking up awards.” She entered competitions and won a silver medal at the national level for a Scholastic young artist competition. She said that she also won some local art shows and has had her art featured in museums. Ramsey hopes this experience advertising her art will help her in her future

Salisbury University holds commencement exercises Some 201 students received master’s degrees during Salisbury University’s graduate ceremony on Wednesday, May 18. Some 1,487 received the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Social Work the following day at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. Honored during the undergraduate

career; she will be attending Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia for illustration this fall. Ramsey didn’t known that art schools existed until her junior year. After doing some research, she found PAFA, which she describes as still a good four year college for art but a little cheaper than others she’d looked into. She got the same amount of aid for both an expensive school and PAFA, so it made sense to choose the Philly school. As an illustrator after college, she said, there are so many things she could do. She has had an interest in animation, but she’s never had the software to try it. She could do graphic design, such as illustrations in children’s books, logos, or book covers. She has also thought of working with movies, such as Disney and Pixar, to create the characters. She can freelance on the side with whatever she chooses. She gets her artistic talent from her father. He was accepted into an art school himself, though circumstances prevented him from attending. Ramsey says that she and her father are very alike. Her mother is a social worker
and the director of TRiO ACHIEVE at Salisbury. With her family, Ramsey pursues another passion, and often: traveling. Recently back from Dubai, she recounts getting to go to the tallest building in the world. She had been wanting to see the skyscraper up close since she’d spotted it during a layover returning from vacation in South Africa. She has also traveled to London, Italy, Austria, and Germany. She travels the states as well; she has been to every state along the east coast, with the exception of New England. Traveling to Philadelphia for school, therefore, will hardly phase Ramsey. She was born in Atlanta, and then grew up in Charlotte, N.C. She moved to Salisbury for high school. Though she was sad to leave the area in North Carolina, she was happy to switch schools; she felt that she fit in better and made friends easier at James M. Bennett. She was also excited at the prospect of snow, she added with a laugh. Now moving to the next chapter in her life, she is glad it will be in the metropolitan area of Philadelphia.

Dr. Mazzetti receives award
A health and sport science professor – who students say passes lessons from his own mentors on to them – has earned Salisbury University’s 2016 Outstanding Research Mentor Award. Dr. Scott Mazzetti was recognized at SU’s 15th annual Student Research Conference (SUSRC). The honor celebrates faculty mentors who are excellent supervisors of student research or
creative work. In addition to teaching classes, Mazzetti guides students as director of SU’s Laboratory for Human Performance, which he founded in 2008. “Dr. Mazzetti has Mazzetti been a long-standing member of the SUSRC faculty steering committee,” said Dr. Clifton Griffin, SU’s dean of graduate studies and research. “He empowers students by teaching the importance of learning ‘the details’ associated with being a great researcher. Scott has been incredibly successful at mentoring high-achieving undergraduate researchers that end up in highly competitive graduate student research positions at large research universities.” Mazzetti earned his Ph.D. in human bioenergetics from the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in 2003.
SU student interns in Baltimore
A Salisbury University student with ties to Baltimore will be learning how the city shapes its future as the Gerald A. Elkins Intern at the Baltimore City Planning Department. Geography major Timothy Williams Jr. of Owings Mills is the second winner of the award, receiving a $1,500 stipend. Additional funds from the planning department have been provided to make it a full-time summer position. One of only a few endowed internships at SU, the Elkins Internship Award helps students explore careers in urban planning and mapping. It was established through the SU Foundation, Inc., to honor Gerald Elkins, the late husband of SU Chief of Staff Amy Hasson. The couple met at Baltimore’s Planning Department, where he was a dedicated professional for over four decades and she also worked for 15 years. Now a junior at SU, Williams is studying geographic information science, in addition to geography.

Harris named Employee of the Year
William Harris, athletic grounds coordinator in the Physical Plant, has been named Salisbury University’s 2016 Employee of the Year. Announced during SU’s annual Employee Appreciation Day, the award included a $1,000 cash prize. Harris, one of 12 SU Employees of the Month for the 2015 fiscal year, was nominated in May for his dedication and the positive impact his hard work has made within the Physical Plant. Harris served as the campus’ interim assistant director of horticulture for 22 months. “There was a staffing shortage [at that time] negatively impacting the appearance of the grounds,” said his nominator, Kevin Harris Mann, Physical Plant director. “The entire Horticulture and Grounds Department worked additional hours trying to bring the appearance of the campus back up to standards. Bill had a positive effect on the department by training new and existing staff, and implementing new policies, procedures and standards to develop a systematic way of maintaining and improving the campus grounds.” Harris’ regular duties include working with athletic team coaches and staff to maintain the East Campus athletic fields.

Pictured are students, from left, front row: Hanna Brent, Cameron Moore, and Logan Ferrell. Back row: Jeffrey Whitten, Nathan Griffith, Melody Rosas-Grant, Brittney Ryan, and Brooke Ryan.
STUDENTS WIN FILM COMPETITION - Two juniors from The Salisbury School have won first and third place in the Wicomico County Youth Addiction Awareness Film Competition. Maddi Cuesta (right) won first place and received a $1,000 scholarship, and Michaela Miller (left) won third place and received a $100 scholarship. Both girls created short videos as part of their theater production class and researched the heroin problem in Wicomico County before creating their films. Their focus was on the dangers of using and abusing prescription opiates and how abusing pills is a pathway to heroin use.
I was saddened to learn of the death last month of Salisbury University President Emeritus Norman Crawford. As the fifth president of SU — then known as Salisbury State College — from 1970-1980, he helped lay the foundation for many of the successes the campus enjoys today. Under his guidance, SU established new academic programs, its winter term, the campus radio station and The Flyer student newspaper — all traditions that continue. He also oversaw the creation of the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc., which has played a pivotal role in SU’s development as A Maryland University of National Distinction. Many buildings opened during his tenure, including Choptank Hall — the campus’ first co-ed residence hall — Chester and Chesapeake residence halls and Maggs Physical Activities Center. He also established the Great Hall of Holloway Hall as the original home for the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. Perhaps Dr. Crawford’s most lasting contribution was his dedication to increasing diversity at the institution. Within his inaugural year as president, he hired the University’s first African-American
faculty member, Dr. A.K. Talbot of the Sociology Department. Several years later, he welcomed SU’s first African-American fraternity, Omega Psi Phi. He was steadfast in his commitment to increasing the school’s African-American student population — which numbered only three when he was named president. By the time of his departure, that number had grown to 430. During his presidency, he took a personal interest in the lives of African-American student leaders on campus, hosting weekly meetings to discuss any problems they may have encountered. He once noted that “the harmonious desegregation of the state college” was his proudest accomplishment. I met Dr. Crawford upon becoming president of SU in 2000. He had retired from academia and, with his wife, Garnette, had returned to the Eastern Shore. He was one of the most enthusiastic Sea Gull fans I ever met: The varsity football, softball, swimming, cross country, tennis and lacrosse programs were established and the East Campus athletic fields were built during his tenure. After retirement, he continued to take pride in the University and to maintain a strong interest in the campus until his passing. Two months ago, during festive ceremonies for SU’s new Sea Gull Stadium, he was recognized for his vision in many areas of the student experience. I also had the privilege of presenting him with the inaugural Spirit of Salisbury University Award in 2006. It was a fitting honor: For many, Norm Crawford was a living embodiment of SU, and we will miss him greatly.

We’re very close to being at a critical stage right now and we need our community to respond.” “Traumas traditionally happen more often when people travel during the summer months when street violence escalates as well.

Your Smile Matters By Stewart Perim, DDS, MS Gum recession refers to the loss of gum tissue along the gum line. This can occur as a result of periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, advanced periodontitis), the natural aging process, or abrasive habits when it comes to brushing the teeth. Why should gum recession be taken seriously? When gum recession occurs, the root structure of the tooth becomes exposed. This means that tooth decay and other problems can affect the teeth along the gum line and beneath it. Since healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth, getting gum recession treated is important for lasting dental wellness. What is the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)? The Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive option for treating gum recession. Unlike traditional grafting techniques, PST is scalpel and suture free. Traditional gum recession treatments involve the use of donor tissue or soft tissue grafts in order to rebuild the gum line. This soft tissue would be sutured in place and would join with existing gum tissue as it healed. While this traditional grafting treatment is effective, comparable results
with better patient experience can be achieved through the Pinhole Surgical Technique. How is PST performed? During the Pinhole Surgical Technique, a needle is used to make a small hole in the patient’s existing gum tissue. Through this pinhole, special instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue. These tools help expand and slide the gum line to cover the exposed root structure. There are no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions needed with the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique. It simply involves the adjustment of the existing tissue. What are the benefits of this technique? Dr. John Chao is the inventor of the Pinhole Surgical Technique and has designed a special set of instruments to perform periodontal minimally invasive techniques. He is world renowned and trains dentists to utilize his instruments for Pinhole procedures. Dr. Stewart Perim, a graduate of his program, is working with Dr. Chao to utilize the Pinhole technique for bone grafting and accelerated osteogenesis. This will improve periodontal and orthodontic outcomes (growing bone and gum). The benefits of the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique are many:
CLINIC RECEIVES GRANT - Senators Adelaide C. Eckardt and James N. Mathias Jr. and Delegates Mary Beth Carozza and Sheree Sample-Hughes joined Lower Shore Clinic and officials from Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) and the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission recently to present a check award and announce a combined support of $197,233 to Lower Shore Clinic. The “public-private’”partnership grant will enable Lower Shore Clinic to support a CareWrap Team designed to enroll individuals with chronic health needs, who are frequently admitted or treated in the emergency department at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, into longitudinal support, including primary care, services in the community.
• Less discomfort for the patient after treatment • Faster recovery for the patient than traditional grafting • No need for uncomfortable sutures • No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools • No need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate

COMPOSITION
Farmers play a valuable role in water quality By Ed Kee, Joe Bartenfelder, Russell Redding, Todd Haymore, and Walt Helmick
No one today lives and works closer to our land and water than America’s farmers. As agriculture secretaries and commissioners from Chesapeake Bay region states, we value and strongly appreciate the contributions that our 141,000 farmers make - in jobs and economic impact, in environmental stewardship, and in producing food for our region, nation and the world. Among our five states - Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia - there are more than nine million acres of harvested cropland, or roughly the same size as 4.4 million city blocks. Our farmers raise more than one billion chickens for meat each year, grow fruits and vegetables on more than 143,000 acres, and produce enough milk to supply nearly a quarter of the U.S. population. These incredible numbers stem directly from the hard work and dedication of our farm families. Contrary to popular misconception, more than 98 percent of our states’ farms are familyowned - a truly staggering fact. Many people are concerned about the health of the Chesapeake Bay - none more so than farmers, who rely on our land and water to grow so much food. That’s why they and we were pleased to hear recent reports from the Chesapeake Bay Program that estimated nitrogen,

phosphorous, and sediment going into the Bay have all dropped over the last six years - by eight, twenty, and seven percent, respectively. The University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science recently gave the Bay its third highest health score in three decades, noting progress in several areas. Monitoring data from the U.S. Geological Survey indicates that the per-acre nutrient and sediment loads are declining at a majority of the monitoring stations across our five states. That’s a reflection of the progress in a variety of sectors, including wastewater treatment, storm water management, urban runoff, and agriculture. For our farmers, it’s the latest news that their hard work is paying off. Our agencies work closely with our sister state-level environmental partners and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but the real praise should go to the farmers. The practices they use and the strategies and plans they have put in place truly are making a difference. Just as a great deal of attention has been paid to the Bay over the last decade, a similar focus on agriculture is warranted from policymakers at all levels to make sure policies are in place that allow for safe, affordable, and abundant food for the future. Some might think having productive farms and clean water are contradictory pursuits. They are not. Clean water depends on healthy, viable farms and healthy, viable farms

depend on clean water. Achieving both is our goal. Everyone who cares about food and is concerned about our water resources cannot just sit back and watch; we must act so we do not jeopardize our ability to maintain and enhance food production. All people involved in these discussions should be conscious of the need to improve water quality without compromising our potential to grow food because the future demands it. There are several billion people in the world today. There will be another two billion people inhabiting the planet by 2050. Feeding a world of nine billion people makes American agriculture – and the co-equal goals of healthy farms and clean water – all the more important. Yes, there is more work to do, but we are taking the right steps now, acting with proper deliberation, to ensure that policymakers 30 years from now will not find themselves examining why we have lost our ability to produce food here in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

The old man liked the fact that he was feared. He died at the ripe old age of 98. After the burial, her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, “Aren’t you afraid that he may indeed be
able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?” The wife said, “Let him dig. I had him buried upside down...and I know he won’t ask for directions.”
