County workers victims of identity theft By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Over the past month, some county employees have received a shock at their mailboxes: notices that unpaid bills in their names for Comcast cable services had been sent to collections, potentially damaging their credit scores. No county property, assets or information are, at this time, suspected to have been compromised. “There is no indication of a breach in our security,” County Administrator Harold Higgins said. “We’re just trying to protect our employees.” Besides their place of employment, there does not seem to be any other connections between the victims,
HAPPY HOUR NIGHTLY 4-6
Kim Moses, county public information officer, said. Moses said the county had become aware of the situation in late March or early April, and a notice was delivered to employees on April 3. The notice recommended each employee view their credit reports to see if fraudulent charges had been incurred under their names. American citizens are entitled to a free annual credit score report from each of the top three reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. The Federal Trade Commission states the only website authorized by it to provide these credit scores is www.annualcreditreport.com.
When additional accounts surfaced in response to the notice, the Sheriff’s Office was brought in to investigate. Lt. Ed Schreier, Sheriff’s Office public information officer, confirmed the investigation is ongoing, and recommended everyone request an annual copy of their credit reports. Thousands upon thousands of cases of identity theft and fraud involving bogus Comcast accounts have occurred throughout the country for the past several years. Currently pending in federal court in California is a class action suit that alleges that Comcast failed to take the necessary steps to verify the identities of customers before opening an account.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Ending projects by Memorial Day was a recurring theme during the State Highway Administration’s spring update for the City Council on Tuesday. Jay Meredith, state highway district one engineer, opened a lengthy review of current and proposed projects by immediately turning the microphone over to Brett Beane, assistant district engineer of construction, for the latest information on median and paving work on Coastal Highway between 26th and 62nd streets. “We’re still on track for the Memorial Day deadline,” Beane said. “We’re going to move heaven and earth if need be to do this.” Tandem crews will begin laying new paving on Monday, Beane said. “If we have to work long hours [or] See MEDIAN Page 85

Funny money flow typically stronger with crowd influx
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) With tourist season about open, Ocean City Police are cautioning merchants to be watchful — and to contact law enforcement — if counterfeit currency shows up in cash registers. Detective David Whitmer said when the weather warms and the cash begins to flow, some of it is bound to be bogus. “We see it every summer,” he said. The competency level of counterfeiters runs the gamut from professional, to those with a more DIY approach, Whitmer said. “We’ve had a couple of cases … with See POLICE Page 5

OWL WOW “Haven,” by Lynn Branson of Courtney, British Columbia, Canada, is a clutch of three baby barn owls that captured third place in the World Interpretive Wood Sculpture division of the Ward World Championships, held last weekend at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City. The interpretive division is more abstract and less focused on anatomy and photorealism as the decorative life size and miniature divisions. Interpretive works have none of the functionality of the Shootin’ Rig division, which more closely resembles traditional duck and wildfowl decoys. The World Championships are presented annually in the resort by The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University in Salisbury.

Police say report counterfeit bills Continued from Page 3 local folks bleaching five dollar bills [and] turning them into twenties on a printer,” he said. Whitmer said other perpetrators are more polished, employing professional gear to manufacture far superior counterfeit currency, typically in larger denominations. “We see hundred [dollar bills] there … those are pretty hard to detect,” he said. Flashing back on a case a few years back, Whitmer said even top-flight counterfeiters may leave clues. “We had some guys come down from New York that had a bunch of counterfeit hundreds,” he said. “They were going into local businesses buying … a single pack of Parliament cigarettes.” Whitmer said that’s one of the “red flag” behaviors that warrants extra attention from merchants: “Somebody buying a small item with a hundred-dollar bill,” he said. Whitmer said anyone seeking detailed currency verification information, such as watermark and security strip placement, should go online to secret-
service.gov/data/KnowYourMoney.pdf. But not all the polished operators come from outside the region, Whitmer said. “We had a guy in Worcester County that was printing them on a higher-quality cotton paper,” he said. “He had templates of the bills saved onto a flash drive and he was printing them that way.” Proper paper stock is a crucial element to producing passable fake currency, Whitmer said. “They’ll try to buy ... a higher-quality linen paper to make it feel right,” he said. “If you print it on regular paper, it’s immediately detectable when you touch it.” The first line of defense to foil fake money manufacturers are retail merchants, Whitmer said. “I know merchants are busy [but] if you look at [the currency] even for a few seconds, you can see something that doesn’t look right,” he said. Smaller scale phony money producers often use scissors to cut the cash, Whitmer said. “The cuts won’t be right [so] it’s pretty easy to detect,” he said. Another recent phenomenon Whitmer

noted, is high quality fake currency, generally large bills intended as movie prop money, being passed for the genuine item. “The second you pass it, it’s a crime,” he said. While banks typically detect counterfeit currency inadvertently accepted by stores, Whitmer said police prefer to be contacted directly by merchants, regardless of the denomination. “Instead of the merchants thinking, ‘Oh, it’s just a 20-dollar bill, it’s not worth a phone call,’” he said. “We can at least document it and hold onto that information.”

School leads budget meeting
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) The Worcester County fiscal 2019 budget public hearing brought out a large contingency of public school system supporters to Snow Hill High School on Tuesday evening to stress the importance of fully funding the education system. County Administrator Harold Higgins said at this point the budget has a shortfall of more than $8.9 million in revenue compared to requested expenditures. “Hopefully this will make dollars and sense to … the audience,” he said. Higgins said general fund revenues for fiscal 2019 are estimated to be $202.6 million, while the requested expenditures total about $211.6 million. To reconcile the difference, Higgins said a 5.9 cent property tax hike has been proposed, which would increase the county current tax rate of 83.5 cents per $100 of assessed value to 89.4 cents. The Board of Education is proposing to spend roughly $88.4 million during fiscal 2019, which represents an increase of more than $3 million over the current budget year. The figure grows further when about $10.4 million for school construction debt is included, jumping to more than $98.8 million, or about 49 percent of the total budget. Lou Taylor, Worcester County schools superintendent, said the challenge is to create a financially sound
budget to meet the needs of all residents. “We appreciate the opportunity to have an open dialogue about funding a fiscally sound budget that meets the needs of our 6,700 children here in Worcester County,” he said. Taylor said school budget deliberations typically focus on one aspect. “The root of every decision we make is this question, is it good for kids?” he said. Taylor also highlighted challenges facing school leadership. “We must continue to recruit, hire and retain great teachers, administration and staff,” he said. “We must maintain small class sizes to maintain individual attention.” Included in the school system budget requests are fair compensation packages for teachers and staff, as well as funding to cover increases in health insurance and pension costs, Taylor said. “We must continue to partner with our students families and the Worcester County community to make sure the heart of our county, our school system, continues to thrive and flourish,” he said. Among the parade of parents espousing support for the school budget request was Beth Shockley-Lynch, a science teacher at Snow Hill Elementary School who is the current president of the Worcester County Teacher’s Association. “If we want great schools … we have to find and keep great teachers,” she

Stacey Weisner, Delmarva Discovery Center CEO, told the Worcester County Commissioners the organization hopes to reduce its requested funding in subsequent years during a fiscal 2019 budget public hearing at Snow Hill High School on Tuesday.
said. Lynch also thanked the county commissioners for their efforts to lobby the state to increase education funding for the county. “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions,” she said. “Since the state limits the funds to our county based on an unbalanced funding formula, Worcester receives the lowest amount of aid for any county.” State funding is calculating using the county’s tax base as compared to its population. Worcester, because of Ocean City, has one of the highest tax bases per capita in the state, and thus receives little financial support from the state, even
though the county has high year-round unemployment and deep pockets of poverty. In addition to school officials, representatives from numerous social service agencies also testified regarding the need for financial backing. These included: Stacey Weisner, Delmarva Discovery Center CEO; Jack Ferry, executive director of the Worcester County Development Center and Debbie Anderson with Diakonia. In the meeting’s aftermath, county staff will comb over the budget for additional tweaks to funding, with a series of work session scheduled this month, with final adoption set for June 5.

Ambulance crew cost raises concerns over fire contract
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Seeking financial clarity during the fiscal 2019 final budget review on Tuesday, Councilman Matt James questioned the inclusion of nearly $100,000 for an additional offseason part-time ambulance crew. Budget Manager Jennie Knapp said an additional cost of $99,092 was required to hire a crew to cover 189 shifts that were added between this September and next May. James said when the city signed a new contact with the local firefighter/paramedic union in March 2017 an increase in labor costs was not anticipated. “We were told that the new schedule would be cost-neutral,” he said. Last November, city officials implemented a new schedule for fire fighters and paramedics, switching from the years-long practice of 24 hours on and 72 hours off to 10hour day shifts and two 14-hour night shifts, followed by four days off. Knapp said the extra salary costs was not tied to the union contract. “This is due to the increase in times we were out of ambulance crews in the offseason and the study that was done by the fire company to show that,” she said. James asked if the addition of a full-time position would be cost beneficial. “We get more shifts by adding the part-time shifts than we would by adding a full-time staff person,” Knapp said. James noted the number of instances when ambulance crews were not available during the offseason tripled from 2016, when 20 calls were delayed, to 2017 when that oc-
curred 60 times. In those cases, James said a message is sent requesting available members assist. “The staff’s availability is significantly decreased right now because they’re working four days instead of previously working two days and picking up extra shifts,” he said. “Giving our employees the ability to switch into a 24-hour [shift] in the short term would be an immediate solution to the decrease in service.” James also questioned Fire Chief Chris Larmore about the number of unfilled staffing hours. “The last I heard, there were 960 hours of unfilled staff time just in May and June,” he said. Since making his departments’ budget presentation in mid-April, Larmore said that figure has been dramatically reduced. “Three weeks prior to the budget hearing, there were 1,700 hours that were uncovered,” he said. “As of this morning, with mandatory overtime, we are down to 1,600 shifts [or] about 192 hours from now until July 1.” The issue is largely solved and will not result in reductions to fire or ambulance service, Larmore said. Looking ahead, James asked what future staffing changes Larmore feels would provide improved responsiveness. “The conversion of three current part-time positions to full time [which] would put us at 47 full-time employees,” Larmore said. Regardless of the shifts negotiated in the current union contract, James said offering shift flexibility would likely be well received by members. “They have a contract, but I have a feeling if you told them they could switch into 24 [hours] they would probably be ok with it,” he said.

Power project hits snag under bay
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Delmarva Power’s $43 million project to upgrade electric transmission lines between Berlin and Ocean City, which began in fall 2014, will take longer because of nature: frequent bad weather and a wall of bedrock under the Isle of Wight Bay. Jake Sneeden, Delmarva Power communications manager, said the first phase of a project to rebuild nine miles of 69,000-volt transmission lines was completed in 2015. “That was an aerial transmission line that went all the way to our culvert substation in West Ocean City,” he said. While the project was on a fast track initially, Sneeden said the wheels slowed after crews began work to replace a submerged cable that was run under the Isle of Wight Bay in 1971. “The last component is the connection to our Ocean City substation, which requires an underwater cable,” he said. “The project is delayed because there were challenges with the underwater component.” With New Jersey drilling contractor Carson Corp. set up its directional drilling machinery on 1st Street in 2015, the intent was to bore a route across the bay, 50 feet below the bay bottom, to allow two 38-inch PVC pipes to carry power cables to connect the substations in West Ocean City and Ocean City.
Delmarva Power’s $43 million project to upgrade electric transmission lines between Berlin and Ocean City, which launched in fall 2014, has stretched on longer than anticipated after directional drilling equipment hit upon bedrock under the Isle of Wight Bay.
Using a new directional drill purchased for more than $2 million, Carson’s initial efforts went well. Then the drill augured into unexpected bedrock, making the job a literal grind. Although two underground channels were to be drilled, Sneeden said one pipe crossing was deemed safe to use. “We completed the drilling of that earlier this year,” he said. “The only thing that hasn’t been done on the project is pulling through the cables.” With summer approaching, the proj-
ect would take a seasonal hiatus, Sneeden said. “Work will be wrapping up in the next week or two,” he said. “They’ll come back in the fall [and] they’re going to pull the cable through.” When work reconvenes, Sneeden said the final steps would entail crews connecting underground cables to the downtown Ocean City substation. “We expect the project to be energized and serving the community in time for summer 2019, if not sooner,” he said.

Crowded housing becomes focus of resort this season
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Along with stepping up enforcement of the resort’s rental license requirement, Ocean City officials are looking to curtail overcrowded J-1 student housing this summer. Planning Director Bill Neville said anyone renting housing in Ocean City is required to obtain a license and noise permit. Rental properties also are subject to inspections for occupancy rates, as well as fire and safety standards. “We want to make sure we’re reducing the [overcrowding] problem this year,” he said. “This goes hand in hand with our message that we want everyone to have a rental license.” Neville said Ocean City adheres to the International Property Maintenance Code standards to avoid overcrowding rentals and maintaining safety standards, which includes minimum floor area requirements for bedrooms, dining and living areas. These include minimum bedroom sizes of 70 square feet, to include 40 square feet per person, as well as at least 120 square feet of living space. Rental properties with three to five tenants require at least 200 square feet of combined living /dining space, which See PRESEAON Page 10

Preseason checks of J-1 worker housing underway Continued from Page 8 increases to 250 square feet for six or more individuals. “Right now we’re doing a pre-season check on anybody we received a complaint on last year,” he said. In some instances, Neville said landlords overload the bed count in deference to city code. “Instead of two single beds, at times there will be two double beds,” he said. Neville said the city would also have a renewed focus on enforcing its noise ordinance this summer. “It’s our best way of working with property owners and tenants,” he said. “After several noise complaints, we would consider suspending or revoking a rental license.” Under city code, it is unlawful for anyone to generate noise that is audible from a distance of 50 feet and disturbs the peace and safety of other. The standard is most rigorously enforced from midnight to 7 a.m. Anne Marie Conestabile, United Work & Travel program director, supports the city campaign to address housing challenges and abuses. “The codes should be enforced because in the past we’ve had lots of issues with overcrowding,” she said. Responsible for a large percentage of the roughly 4,000 J-1 visa student workers in Ocean City each summer, Conestabile says she worked to assure housing arrangements for this summer’s recruits. “I have close to 1,300 students coming in and we have housing for every single one of them,” she said. “We’ve had to scurry to procure the housing that is necessary.” Rick Fairbend, who along with his wife, Pat, runs the Irish Outreach Center at 12th Street and Baltimore Avenue, said locating housing is the largest challenge for J-1 student workers. “There are places out there, you just have to look for them,” he said. While appreciative of the city’s effort to maintain safe living standards, Fairbend said economic factors typically motivate seasonal workers to live in tight
quarters. “They’re paying over $2,000 a season,” he said. For her part, Conestabile has continued to find an increased number of rental properties and job opportunities in West Ocean City. “I get jobs with employers located in West Ocean City, so the students don’t have to cross the bridge to go to work,” she said. “We have quite a few who work … and live in West Ocean City.” Fairbend said landlords are trending toward renting per student, instead of setting a price for the entire unit. “It keeps kids from cramming more in to cut costs,” he said. “Overcrowding is more of an issue when a house is rented as whole.” Conestabile encourages rental property owners to obtain licensing and abide city codes for living space requirements. “My advice would be for landlords to be one step ahead if they want peace of mind for the summer,” she said. Neville said the campaign to achieve greater compliance with rental regulations appears to be yielding results. “Finance Director [Chuck Bireley] has a number of new rental license applications and seems to think letting people know the rules has helped,” he said. Although staffing limitations prohibit widespread housing inspections during summer, Neville said the city would respond when contacted regarding housing issues. “We will go back over in the summer on a complaint basis,” he said. The Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe-housing committee, or P.R.E.S.S., coordinates housing regulation enforcement between numerous city departments, including police, building, zoning, fire marshal and rental licensing. The P.R.E.S.S. committee said community members should report properties that may violate safety, building or health codes. Citizens with concerns or complaints are asked to call the Office of Planning and Community Development at 410-289-8855.

Overtime investigations force new funding for fire marshal After-hours calls blamed for overage; department spent $10K and needs $2K more
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) With a spate of late-night calls apparently sucking the financial reservoir dry, Worcester County Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon was forced to come before the county commissioners this week to ask for more money to pay employees. The request was made of the current year’s budget, not the fiscal year 2019 version county staff and commissioners have been working on for the past couple of months. McMahon said when he last appeared before the board making his budget presentation in early April, he had no reason to suspect the well would run dry before July 1, the start of the next fiscal year. During that time, McMahon said, there had been five after-hours calls that had taken more than 14 hours to resolve. However, he said, as of the pay period ending April 8, the overtime fund’s balance was $327.44. On April 22, McMahon said the
balance hit negative numbers. The department was allocated $10,000 for the four-person office for fiscal 2018. McMahon said his office responded to 110 calls already this year, with 58 coming in after hours. “You can’t control when the fire hits,” Commissioner Bud Church said. Once on those calls, McMahon said his staff spent an average of 3.8 hours investigating the matter. In addition, McMahon said those same four people have also already racked up 400 hours of compensatory time. To cover the department for the rest of the year, McMahon asked the commissioners to allocate $2,000 to cover any additional overtime expenses. McMahon said he probably has the money left over in fund balances from other areas of the budget, but with the end of year coming so soon, he wasn’t sure where he’d be transferring money from to cover the expense. This way, he explained, he could use the money to pay the overtime, and settle up the books at the end of the year normally. The commissioners voted unanimously to approve the plan.
Council considers revising B’walk, beach smoking rules Expanded ordinance could consider cannabis, vaping for inclusion to exclusion
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Ocean City is considering amending the Boardwalk and beach smoking ordinance to include cannabis use or nicotine vaping in the definition of prohibitions. Following up on an April 9 Police Commission discussion, City Manager Doug Miller presented a revised smoking ban during the City Council work session on Tuesday. “We’ve had two issues before us regarding smoking on the Boardwalk and the beach that we wanted to address,” he said. “The first is many times when we cite people who are vaping they say, ‘We’re not smoking we’re vaping.’” More recently, Miller said the Police Commission raised concerns after the state medical marijuana program began sales in December. “The Police Commission asked that we expedite a look at our current regulations [to see if] a smoker of tobacco could be potentially be
fined more stringently than that person smoking marijuana,” he said. Miller credited Kelly Allmond, executive office associate, for researching the topic and locating a smoking ordinance from San Mateo County in California that served as a template. “The key area under definitions ... we would add a good many things, including marijuana and vaping,” he said. “Basically any type of smoke that can be ingested.” The expanded definition list includes pipes, hookahs, cigars, and electronic cigarettes. The revised ordinance’s intent is to protect the public from involuntary exposure to, “environmental tobacco, nicotine or cannabis smoke or vapor.” The smoking ordinance also applies at all public parks in Ocean City, except at Northside Park within 15 feet of designated areas, as well as within a 15-foot radius of bus shelters. The council voted 6-0, with Councilman John Gehrig absent, to hold a first reading on the proposed smoking ordinance revisions at its May 7 meeting.

West OC projects added to annual sewer cleaning
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Because the bids received to perform sewer cleaning and video inspection of the lines amounted to less than half of the amount set aside for it last year, the Worcester County Commissioners approved adding about 7,600 linear feet to the program this year. The final cost of the expanded cleaning and scoping services has yet to be determined, but the Public Works Department estimates, based on the bid prices received from contractor Mobile Dredging and Video Pipe Inc., assume it would add another $16,000 to the bottom line. Last year’s budget set aside $50,000 for the work. The contractor’s initial bid, awarded in April, set the price for the existing project at just under $25,000. Anything left over would be used as contingency funding should extra work be required on the system for whatever reason. “Because the sewer cleaning and inspection work is an ongoing program and because the low bid was so much below the funds allocated in the budget, we would like to consider adding some additional sewer cleaning and inspection video to the project,” John Tustin, director of public works, wrote to the commissioners. Tustin proposed work areas along Golf Course Road near Route 50 and Old Bridge Road in Martha’s Landing be considered for the expanded work. Tustin said both areas had been considered for inclusion in next year’s project scope, but the favorable rates could move it ahead. “A final change order would be prepared and presented for approval once the exact footage is determined,” Tustin wrote. The commissioners approved the request unanimously, and Tustin is expected to return with the final cost estimate soon.

COUNTY BRIEFS
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) The Worcester County Commissioners also discussed the following issues during their regular meeting on Tuesday in Snow Hill:
but it was explained that obtaining the loan and grant would be more advantageous to taxpayers. Bertino and Commissioner Jim Bunting voted against the plan, which carried 5-2.
USDA funding
Shelter grants
Worcester County entered into an agreement for $250,000 with the United States Department of Agriculture to pay for piping connections that would have exhausted all of the contingency funds for the project otherwise. The money is divided into grant and loan portions, with the county borrowing $163,000 at 3.125 percent interest over 40 years, and the remaining $87,000 in grant funding. Commissioner Chip Bertino asked if a plan to borrow the additional money from the county’s general fund would be more advantageous with regards to interest,
Instead of appealing to Worcester County, this year the area’s two homeless shelters — Diakonia in West Ocean City and Samaritan Shelter in Pocomoke City — will go through the Lower Shore Continuum of Care organization in Somerset to obtain grant funding. The county had previously handled the requests. The Lower Shore Continuum of Care now handled requests from Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. To make their annual application, the organizations needed to provide estimated funding amounts to the organiza-
tion, which hasn’t been determined yet. The commissioners agreed to provide the shelters’ current funding requests — $55,000 for Diakonia and $30,000 for Samaritan Shelter to the organization.
Jury room renovations Bids to renovate the restrooms and assembly rooms for Worcester County juries in circuit court were more expensive than anticipated, so the commissioners rejected all the bids and scheduled to revisit the issue in June. Public Works Director John Tustin said high labor costs in enhanced security areas, courthouse noise restrictions limiting available hours and architect-specified construction materials are to blame for the inflated costs. Tustin recommended allowing his department to break the tasks into more manageable jobs to possibly get a better Continued on Page 16

Snow Hill re-elects Dorman in spirited race with Gilliland Political newcomer engages community, runs amicable campaign vs incumbent By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Snow Hill Mayor Charlie Dorman was reelected to a fourth term on Tuesday, 188 to 106 votes, over challenger Brian Gilliland. Election officials said 29 absentee ballots and two provisional ballots were cast. Dorman, 76, was first elected in 2012 and reelected without opposition in 2014 and 2016. The Baltimore native and owner of The Country Flag was formerly the Snow Hill director of public works. “It’s been tough. This is my last one, so I was hoping it was going to be easy,” Dorman said. “Honest candidate. A lot of other people said negative things, but [Gilliland] was great.
“We’ll go on for the next two years, just to see what we can do. There are a lot of things we want to accomplish and get finished,” he continued. “I know it’s tough for him walking away, but he was a great candidate.” Gilliland, 42, is a veteran journalist and currently is the associate editor of Ocean City Today. A New Jersey native, he moved to the area in 2002 with his wife, Lora. “I was really excited to run,” he said. “We ran a good, clean campaign. Congratulations to Charlie – I wish him all the success in the future. “I talked to a lot of people and I formulated a plan that I thought would work for everybody, and the voters of Snow Hill decided to take a different path,” Gilliland continued. “That’s what it’s going to be for the next couple years, and I wish the town and Charlie and the council all great success.”
Delegate race narrows to three as Shaffer drops out Spokesman confirms exit from campaign; candidate declines to make statement By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) The campaign spokesman for Republican House of Delegates candidate Jim Shaffer, Mike Hindi, confirmed the campaign is over and the candidate is no longer seeking the Legislative District 38C seat. Shaffer declined to be interviewed, or make a statement for the purposes of this story. The seat vacated by Mary Beth Carozza as she challenges incumbent
Jim Mathias to represent District 38 in the State Senate had been pursued by four Republican candidates: Wayne Hartman, Joe Schanno, Ed Tinus and Shaffer. Shaffer’s name will still be on the primary ballot on June 26. Hindi declined to speculate on what Shaffer would do should he win the election. “The campaign is over,” Hindi said. Since Maryland holds closed primaries, which means only people registered to a political party is eligible to vote in that party’s primary, the race will be more or less decided at the primary. No Democrats filed to run.

Father Matthew D’Amario from St. Paul’s by-the-Sea stands as workers and volunteers help to dismantle the Shepherd’s Crook food pantry that had been open on S. Baltimore Ave. since 2013.
Shepherd’s Crook close to finding new pantry facility
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Though a deal has not yet been finalized, Shepherd’s Crook, a food pantry first offered by St. Paul’s bythe-Sea, will soon be operating out of Ocean City again and offering groceries to those who need them. “We have a place in mind, but we need two approvals,” the Rev. Matthew D’Amario, rector, said. “We have the board of directors’ approval; we just need the landlord.” Two other options are available if Plan A falls through, he said. D’Amario said he received word from the landlord of the food pantry’s nowformer home at 205 South Baltimore Ave. that he would not be renewing the lease. The pantry vacated the premises on Monday. The move was easier than expected, D’Amario said, since the pantry had already given away all of its food, several hundred pounds, beforehand. Thus, only the shelves and equipment need to be stored while the operators consider their options. This isn’t their first move. The pantry was founded in 1999, D’Amario said, in a very informal way: people would walk up to the rectory, and the clergy in residence would pass out groceries. As time passed and demand grew,
leadership passed from Ken MacMullin to Bruce Young, he said, and the organization began to evolve. The difference between Shepherd’s Crook and services offered by other church organizations is that the food was unprepared, whereas other places offered a hot, precooked meal. “The homeless want the meal, but we were serving retirees, seasonal workers and the working poor,” D’Amario said. In 2008, the pantry distributed about 8,000 meals. In 2012, it expanded its operating hours to three times per week. In 2013, disaster struck, as volunteers prepared to open the food bank for Thanksgiving, John Raymond Sterner doused himself in gasoline and set himself on fire before entering the pantry. Sterner, and the pastor David Dingwall were killed, and a volunteer was injured. The pantry then moved downtown, and other organizations began contributing to the cause. Eight other local religious organizations began donating to and supplying volunteers for Shepherd’s Crook, which allowed it to expand its hours to five days per week. Last year, the pantry served 16,000 meals, D’Amario said. Shepherd’s Crook averaged about 1,340 meals per month, or 61 per day, he said. For more information or to donate food or money, visit the parish office at 302 North Baltimore Ave.
COUNTY BRIEFS Continued from Page 13 deal, which was accepted by the commissioners.
Critical area grant Applications for a recurring grant that helps defray, but not cover, the costs of running the Atlantic and Coastal Bays critical area programs were approved unanimously by the county on Tuesday, allowing the programs to continue. The grant amount is $13,000, and represents only a small portion of the costs incurred, Bob Mitchell, director of environmental programs, said. However, the county has received the grant in the past and uses the money to
maintain the critical areas, so the commissioners approved the application.
Public Landing radio The county approved the installation of a device at Public Landing that would allow the government to seize the citizen’s band frequencies when needed “for air and sea operations.” When engaged, devices like this one moves commercial users to a different part of the band, and are being installed along the U.S. coastline at 20-25 mile intervals. The county will receive $1,150 in annual revenue from renting the roof space for the device.

As another application fails, Frontier Town case continues By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Two weeks ago, Worcester County officials pulled an amended application that might have put the question of an expanded campground at Frontier Town to rest once and for all, only to attempt reviewing it again this week, which also failed to produce a decision. The Worcester County Circuit Court is currently contemplating the county commissioners’ 2017 decision to deny expanded water and sewer capacity, measured in equivalent dwelling units or EDUs, to Frontier Town and a proposed townhouse development in the same area called Sea Oaks. Attorney Hugh Cropper IV, who represented both petitioners in these matters, said he would have recommended to Frontier Town to drop the appeal should the commissioners approve the amended request. The commissioners voted to reject a denial of the application, but then took no action to approve the application, either. The county staff developed three options on how to proceed — approve the request by drawing capacity from certain areas within the county, approve a portion of the request by allocating the capacity from other areas of the county, or to deny the request outright. Commissioner Jim Bunting moved to pursue the third choice, which was defeated by a vote of 2-4-1, with commissioners Chip Bertino and Bunting in favor, Commissioner President Diana Purnell and commissioners Joe Mitrecic, Bud Church and Merrill Lockfaw opposed, and Commissioner Vice President Ted Elder abstaining. Purnell asked for another motion, which was met with silence. After
about a minute, the meeting continued. Cropper, after the decision, said he needed to check the relevant code to see what his options were, while County Attorney Maureen Howarth said the status quo remains intact until another decision has been made, or the judge rules on the matter before the court. Last year, the Worcester County Commissioners denied both Sea Oaks LLC and Sun TRS LLC equivalent dwelling unit purchases based on a plan required by the state. The plan allocates where EDUs can be used and for what purpose, and the Sea Oaks development plus the Frontier Town requests would use up most, if not all, of the available capacity in a given area. The petitioners appealed this decision to the circuit court. Last Monday, during the hearing, the court determined that the appeal had merit, but a change in the form of the decision was necessary. Judge Dan Powell ruled the matter was appropriate for an administrative mandamus order, which is a judicial command issued to a lower court or person to perform a public or statutory duty. The matter had been considered as one for declaratory judgment. Simply put, the petitioners have been granted 30 days to re-file their grievance using the proper terminology before the matter would be considered. The county will also have 30 days to respond to the new application, essentially starting the process over from the beginning, before the case goes comes back before a judge. Once it does return, the judge will also consider combining both claims into a single action, as well as a pending motion to dismiss by the county.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Ocean City’s 28th annual Springfest marks the start of summertime traditions with free music and hundreds of unique vendors under large tents in the inlet parking lot. “Ocean City is all about the experience and Springfest magnifies that,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. “Free music, great food and a lot of craft booths and vendors.” Thousands of people from all across the country come out to browse more than 200 craft booths, get a bite to eat at one of the more than 30 food vendors or check out dozens of free concerts. Springfest kicked off Thursday morning in the inlet parking lot with an opening ceremony and ribboncutting before officially opening to the public at 10 a.m. Last year, Springfest drew a crowd of 106,334 despite extreme weather and strong winds threatening to the shut down the event. “Springfest is one of the first large outdoor events to start the summer season,” said Heather Wiles, special

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Springfest attendees can catch live music including country, rock, reggae and tribute bands on two stages this weekend. The 28th annual festival started Thursday and will feature local and regional performers as well as national acts beginning at 10:15 a.m. every day through Sunday. All performances are free to the public except the two soldout headlining acts. “Watching concerts at Springfest is unlike any other music venue,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Being in the inlet lot, steps away from the sand and the sea is special. Not only do concertgoers get the experience of the show, but the atmosphere is simply one-of-a-kind.” Thousands will gather in Ocean City for Springfest, which will feature more than a dozen acts, highlighted by three nights of nationally-known artists. Country music singer Trace Adkins will play to a sold-out crowd at Springfest tonight, Friday, beginning at 8 p.m. After more than two decades, Adkins has sold 11 million albums and won three Academy of Country Music Awards, including New Male Vocalist in 2007, the 2009 Single of the Year Award for “You’re Gonna Miss This” and Vocal Event of the Year with Blake Shelton for “Hillbilly Bone” in 2010. Last year, Atkins released his 12th studio album, Something’s Going On, which produced lead single, “Watered Down.” Saturday’s headlining act, Bret Michaels, is slated to rock out to a packed house starting at 8 p.m. Michaels rose to fame as the lead singer of ‘80s rock ‘n’ roll band, Poison, who released eight studio albums, four live albums, and sold more than 30 million records worldwide including 16.5 million records in the United States. The band has 10 singles in the Top 40 on Billboard’s Hot 100 including their number-one hit, “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn,” and fan favorite, “Nothin’ But a Good Time.” As a solo artist, Michaels has released five albums including “Custom Built,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock list, and his most recent, “Jammin’ with Friends.” “It’s so great that we have headliners that cover a range of music genres,” See DIFFERENT Page 27

Assortment of food, unique arts and crafts at Springfest
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Mosaic designs, handmade handbags and accessories, jellies and beef barbecue are a couple of the items vendors will be selling under large tents in the inlet parking lot during Ocean City’s 28th annual Springfest festival, which kicked off Thursday and continues until Sunday. Thousands of people from all over the country attend the festival each year to browse more than 200 artisan booths or purchase a meal at one of the more than 30 food vendors. “I am always surprised to see the amount of creative goodies that are found at Springfest,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “You don’t have to be a craft lover to find something special such as jewelry, art, clothing and kid items.” Vendors travel from all over the United States, including Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Indiana and California this year. “It is our first time at Springfest and it looks like a great show,” said Deb Greiner of Hardwick, Massachusetts, coowner of Cape Cod Cranberry Harvest, along with Tina Labossiere. “We are ready to come down there with a ton of products and meet new people.” The business partners create 33 homemade jellies, which are mostly cranberry-

based with combinations like cranberry apricot, cranberry orange marmalade, cranberry blueberry, and cranberry pepper, which has jalapeno peppers in it. “We also have savory garlic jellies that are nice to use when cooking chicken or appetizers and meats rather than [using the jellies for] a traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich,” Greiner said. “We are a two-woman show who make all the jellies ourselves in my kitchen. We have been doing it for more than 20 years. We make it, label it and deliver it.” Greiner said a friend who has been in the show for more than a decade urged the co-owners to participate in Springfest for the first time. They will offer samples for customers to try of the different flavors. “We have a really unique product,” Greiner said. “Our jellies are homemade with no preservatives or additives. My favorite is the white cranberry pepper garlic jelly.” Convenience Catering, out of Mt. Airy, Maryland, will have pit beef, ham and turkey sandwiches, sloppy Joe’s and beef barbecue for sale. In addition, customers can purchase platters with potato salad and cole slaw as well as freshbrewed iced tea. “We have been participating in Springfest and Sunfest for well over 15 years,” owner Marsha Henley said. “Springfest and Sunfest is a

Prices are usually very reasonable.

About 150 species spotted during Del. Birding Weekend By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Up until this past week, the weather on the lower shore hasn’t exactly been anything to write home about, unless you were one of the dozens of participants at the 23rd annual Delmarva Spring Birding Weekend. “The birds want to head north, but the winds have been out of the north or northwest, so they’ve just been sitting,” Dave Wilson, organizer, said. Meanwhile, those wildfowl making their way up to us as part of their annual travels continue to arrive, meaning the shore is now bursting at the seams with birds. Wilson said this was the usual draw of the weekend — the overlap between the summer and winter species, with one population moving out while the other arrives. As an added bonus for observers, the wildfowl are shedding their understated winter coats for far more colorful breeding plumage, which, along with being much brighter, also doesn’t have three to four months of winter grime buildup on it. So the more colorful coats are shiny and new as their inhabitants start showing up or are preparing to shove off for the season. “The yellow mouth warblers and common loons are usually just starting to turn when they leave,” Wilson said.
But the brisk winds and gloomy skies of late April kept them here long enough that the fowl are fully feathered. With the air and eventually, water temperatures finally warming up, the region’s usual slate of waders is ready to arrive: herons, skimmers and others. In all, Wilson said the birders tallied more than 150 species last weekend, and he expects that number to grow as the formal count is finalized in the next few days. He said it was about the average number for the weekend, but what the participants did see was more colorful and complete breeding plumage than usually privy to. “We had some red throated loons, northern shovelers and palm warblers,” Wilson said. “Endangered species like royal terns and black skimmers should arrive in the next few weeks.” So, Wilson said, the next few weeks are going to be active ones, where even novice watchers can see something that eludes more experienced ones and where the birds are more noticeable than ever. Also, the Delmarva Spring Birding Weekend isn’t just about birds. Because there are groups of people taking coordinated romps around the local lands, other wildlife is bound to eventually show up. “We didn’t see anything too rare. Turtles, snakes, seals and a wide variety of

reptiles and amphibians,” he said. “But all exciting in their own ways.” Next, Wilson is planning for a Baltimore Birding Weekend, May 18-19. Closer to home, Wilson said he is preparing to once again offer 11 tours of colonial bird nesting grounds throughout summer. Terns, herons and other wading birds, those that stand in the water to hunt for food, nest together in colonies close to the shoreline. The tours will be by boat, and cut a 28-mile circuit around those areas to get a good close look at the occupants.

Up north from more tropical climes this season, the yellow throated warbler spends its time hunting insects, with the occasional berry or bit of nectar to round out its diet. This example of the species was photographed during the Delmarva Spring Birding Weekend.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Ocean City native Kaleb Brown released his first album, “The Rootz Movement,” last month, which features 11 reggae songs he wrote and recorded with the help of several musicians. “The album’s done in a very traditional roots reggae-style that’s contemporary and current at the same time,” Brown said. “You’ll find a little dance hall and hip-hop and soul mixed in with the heavy roots. I initially wrote and recorded all these songs between 2012 and 2015. There’s a lot of different topics and moods and it all related to things happening in my life at the time.” After Brown recorded most of the tracks, he met reggae performer, guitarist and recording artist Tuff Lion who suggested they replace the programmed drum machine beats and digital bass with real instruments. “Over the next few years, Tuff recorded live bass, drums and guitars on the tracks, and also added vocal harmonies, percussion and sweet soulful guitar leads,” Brown said. “He transformed the sound of the album so much, he eventually became its co-producer. The last ingredient was the super soulful organs and keyboards of Befekadu Assefa, who plays on the majority of the songs.”
In addition, Chino from Zion Reggae Band is featured on “Deliver Me,” Berlinbased rapper Karrwashere makes an appearance on “Dream Chaser” and The Hooplas guitarist, Cody Bush, plays on two of the tracks, he said. “It’s real, it’s soulful, its relatable and it’s enjoyable,” Brown said. “I’ve been getting an amazing response so far from everyone who has listened, and I think the whole world is going to start responding to it very soon. From the mixing, to the packaging, to the musicianship, everything was done right and I think it’s surprising a lot of people.” Brown has been performing acoustic solo shows and in bands for about six years. In addition to playing at a few festivals including the Chesapeake Bay Reggae Fest in Virginia and opening for Collie Buddz, The Green and Protoje. His album “The Rootz Movement” was released April 20 on iTunes and is now available for purchase or to stream on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and others. To purchase a CD for $18, which includes shipping costs, email Brown at kalebbrownmusic@gmail.com.

Berlin’s 11th annual Jazz and Blues Bash, Saturday By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Live music, local beer and wine, street food, and ample shopping highlight the 11th annual Berlin Jazz and Blues Bash, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., downtown. Steve Frene of the Jazz and Blue Bash Committee said the music lineup would include something for everyone, starting with the Salisbury University Jazz Ensemble. Also scheduled, in order of appearance, are Dark Gold Jazz, the Joe Baione Quartet, Honey Shine, Holly Lane and Shore Jazz, Chris English, Earl Beardsley and the Heritage Dixieland Jazz Band, and Tom Larsen. “This year’s jazz bands will feature less fusion style and more traditional jazz, with some new groups to Berlin and a few that have been here once or twice before over the previous 10 years,” Frene said. “One such band is Holly Lane and Shore Jazz. Holly has a great voice and will be singing many familiar Jazz standards. Her band has been around in many forms for decades and continues to preserve the tradition of this great American style of music.” Also returning is the Joe Baione Quartet. “Baione and his quartet was part of the very first Jazz and Blues Bash lineup and Joe is one of the East Coast’s pre-
mier vibraphonists,” Frene said. “It is extremely rare to see jazz music performed on this exciting and interesting-sounding instrument. “Dark Gold Jazz is new to the lineup, but are no strangers to the Eastern Shore jazz scene,” Frene continued. “They play regularly at the Globe Theater and have also performed on WBOC TV’s Delmarva Life program.” Frene said keyboardist Earl Beardsley has performed with local jazz bands for more than four decades, including with the Backfin Banjo Band and solo during his longstanding Monday Night slot at the Atlantic Hotel. “Dixieland Jazz is a southern style of jazz that features a lot of brass and woodwind instruments, as well as a banjo and piano,” he said. “It will hard to sit still during their performance. “On the blues side of the equation, we are proud to welcome back both Chris English and bluesman Tom Larsen and their talented and electrifying bands,” Frene continued. “Both bands have been busy performing and creating new music, and bring large followings wherever they play. A relatively new blues band, Honey Shine, is anxious to show off their funky blues style to Berlin.” Stages will be set up at each end of Main Street downtown. Music is free See MUSIC Page 35

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Shrimp Dip Eastern Shore style
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 4, 2018) Fabulous food, glorious entertaining and proper etiquette go hand in hand. Complying with protocol signifies respect for refinement and willingness to honor tradition. But more importantly, preserving the rules of etiquette makes for a more memorable occasion. Table manners play an important part in making favorable impressions, both personally and professionally. Following is a fine dining etiquette guide to make you feel more comfortable at your next social event. According to latest polls, 77 percent of adult Americans own a smartphone and this figure is on the rise. However, this does not mean your phone and keys should be part of the table setting. It takes a considerable amount of time to perfect an elegant surrounding. Dirty keys and finger smudged phones do not pair with fresh flowers, fine china and spotless crystal. In other words, personal belongings do not belong on the table. That being said, it is understood that texting, making and receiving phone calls at the dinner table is also considered rude. Only in the case of an emergency
should one be using their phone and at that point you should excuse yourself. What to do or not to do with your napkin is the next train of thought. As soon as you are seated, remove the napkin from your place setting, unfold it, and put it in your lap. Do not make a grand production by shaking it open, the napkin is subordinate and the focus should be on the special occasion. The napkin rests on the lap until the end of the meal. If you need to leave the table, loosely fold and place the napkin to the side of your plate. Never place the napkin on the chair. In addition, do not clean your tableware, wipe your face, or us it to blow your nose. The expression “dig in” should be changed to “please wait.” If you are at a restaurant, one should wait until all are served at your table before beginning to eat. If you are at a private dinner party, you should not pick up your fork until your host picks up their fork, unless they insist that you begin without them. The rules for silverware during a formal dinner service can be intimidating at first glance. But if you remember to work from the outside in, you will be fine. For example, the salad fork is on your outermost left, followed by your dinner fork. Your soup spoon is on your outermost right, followed by your beverage spoon, salad knife and dinner knife.
Your dessert spoon and fork are above your plate or brought with dessert. The rules for glassware must also be addressed. Each place setting should be set with all the glasses that will be used during the dinner service. The water glass belongs slightly to the right of the plate, just above the knife. Wine glasses should be set to the right of the water glass in the order in which they will be used. Dessert glasses, more than likely, will be served with the dessert course. Food is served from the left side while dishes are removed from the right. If you keep this in mind, the motion of your body will help facilitate this process. At a restaurant, be sure to thank your server and bus boy after they have removed any used items. Remember, they are your servers and not your servants. If another diner asks for the salt and pepper, pass both together, even if a guest asks for only one of them. This is so dinner guests will not have to search for orphaned shakers. If you host an event where individual salt and pepper shakers are used, the salt always goes on the right. The reason is simple, most people use more salt as opposed to pepper and most people are right handed. Always taste your food before seasoning it. The host has gone to great See WALKER Page 36

Wine tents will be set up outside of Sisters on 113 North Main Street, offering six tastings for $15. Burley Oak Brewing Company will sell locally made craft beer. Food will be available for sale from several vendors set up along Main Street, as well as dining and carryout from about a dozen downtown Berlin restaurants. Additionally, Frene said popular local artist Pedro Mule was commissioned to design posters and commemorative Tshirts for sale. Free parking will be accessible at Berlin Intermediate School on Franklin Avenue, with a free shuttle service running downtown. Following the festival, Washington, D.C. blues stalwarts The Nighthawks are scheduled to play a ticketed show at the Globe from 7-10 p.m. For ticket information, visit www.globetheater.com. “The take away is the same as always – Berlin is one of the shore’s most charming and unique concert and festival venues, offering free, family entertainment, food and shopping,” Frene said. “We invite everyone to bring a chair, utilize the free shuttle from our expanded parking area at Berlin Intermediate School, and enjoy a fun day.” For information, visit www.berlinchamber.org or call 410-641-4775.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker provides proper dining etiquette tips Continued from Page 35 lengths to ensure the food is delicious. It is considered very rude to add salt and pepper before tasting your meal. Do not talk with your mouth full of food. This is considered very rude and quite distasteful to watch. There is nothing that you are about to say that cannot wait until you have swallowed your food. If the owner of a restaurant serves you himself, you should still tip him. He will divide the tip accordingly. Dining etiquette tips are quite lengthy and we simply do not have the time to review all of them. But if you get into a jam and are unsure, simply observe what others are doing. Succulent shrimp is fitting for any special occasion. Dips are a great way to
highlight expensive ingredients at an affordable price. Frozen shrimp makes the dish even more economical. Shrimp dip, Eastern Shore style, incorporates a variety of cheeses, hunks of tender shrimp, and a rainbow of assorted vegetables for extra flavor. The following recipe is quite tasty, simple to make, and can be made ahead of time. What more can one ask for? Enjoy!
Shrimp Dip, Eastern Shore Style
Ingredients 1 ½ pounds frozen shrimp, deveined, shells and tail removed 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup combined finely chopped red, orange and yellow peppers
2 teaspoons minced garlic from a jar 3 large scallions, white and green parts, chopped 1 ½ stalks celery, finely chopped 1 (12-ounce) container whipped cream cheese ½ cup good quality mayonnaise 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 to 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/3 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella 1 cup shredded 5 Cheese Italian Blend (Food Lion) kosher salt to taste Italian parsley for a garnish 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. 2. In a large nonstick pan, sauté shrimp in 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat just until the opaque color start to turns white. Remove immediately and place on a cooling rack underlined with a sheet pan. This way the shrimp will cool faster. When the shrimp have cooled, chop coarsely and set aside. Freeze shells for future stock. 3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and sauté peppers, garlic, onions, and celery for 5 minutes. Drain if there is
any excess butter. 4. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. 5. Add shrimp, vegetables, Old Bay, crushed red pepper flakes and cheese to the large bowl. Using a large spoon, combine all the ingredients thoroughly. 6. Transfer dip to prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The dip should be bubbly when it is removed from the oven. 7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with favorite crackers or baguettes.

N. Worcester County Relay for Life slated for May 11
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) There will be activities for the entire family during American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life, which takes place at the Frontier Town Campground in West Ocean City, next Friday, May 11, and helps to raise awareness and money for research, education and patient services for those suffering from all cancers. “This is the premiere fundraising event for the American Cancer Society mainly because it supports all cancers,” said Dawn Hodge, event chair. “This year more than ever we want to let our community know that there is hope on the horizon. Who knows, the cure may be in the test tube that donors from the Relay For Life of North Worcester

The theme for this year’s celebration is “Oceans of Hope.” “Join us hand-in-hand with our toes in the sand for “Oceans of Hope,” Hodge said. “Participants will decorate their campsite with beach or under-the-seathemed decor and incorporate them in their onsite fundraisers and mission messages.” Each team will have its own campsite with water and electricity, courtesy of See RELAY Page 39

Relay for Life fundraiser for American Cancer Society Continued from Page 37 Frontier Town. Individuals and teams can register at the event starting at 4 p.m., and there is no fee to participate. This year, more than 300 participants are expected to attend. Relay For Life will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and continue until midnight on Saturday. The goal for 2018 is to have more than 100 survivors in attendance and to generate $205,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $42,002 had been raised as of Tuesday afternoon, Hodge said. “We are seeing lots of the same people sign up because we have become one great big Relay family,” Hodge said. “We are thrilled to see new additions each year. Getting the word out in the community earlier and through lots of new venues we are seeing an increase in new members to our family for 2018.” Participants have until Aug. 31 to submit their final donations. During the six-hour fundraiser, team members will take turns walking laps and organizers strive for each team to have at least one member taking a lap throughout the night. In 2017, 40 teams and more than 300 registered participants attended Relay For Life, helping to raise about $192,194 for the organization. Throughout the past 21 years, North Worcester County’s Relay has donated more than $1.2 million to the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life’s 2018 opening ceremony kicks off at 6 p.m. Cancer survivors will walk the ceremonial first lap of the night, the “Survivors Lap,” while they are cheered on by other participants in celebration of their victory over cancer. “This year we engaged kids from the high schools and middle schools to plan the event activities and laps,” Hodge said. “A lot of fun and exciting laps and activities came out of this group. They include a sea horse race to represent our patient service road to recovery. Pin-the-
tentacle on the octopus to represent the support of caregivers to survivors through the cancer journey.” In addition, an underwear over there lap was designed to raise awareness of prostate, cervical/uterine and breast cancers. An abundance of children’s activities will be taking place in the center of the track including badminton, volleyball, capture the flag and an obstacle course. There will also be a scavenger hunt and bingo. Psalm 66 Band will play music during the opening ceremony with DJ Brian K. Hall from Classic Rock- the Vault 103.5 and 106.1 spinning the tunes all night long before a special guest performance from the Undateables kicks off at 10 p.m. The Luminaria Ceremony of Remembrance begins at 7:45 p.m. in honor and remembrance of a loved one or friend who has been touched by cancer, Hodge said. A heartfelt candle-lighting ceremony takes place at dusk with a suggested donation of $10 a bag and $25 a tiki torch or lantern, which can be purchased at the event from 4-7:30 p.m. “The Luminaria ceremony is one of the key moments of a Relay for Life,” Hodge said. “It has a triple symbolic purpose: to commemorate the people who have passed as a result of cancer, give hope and support to those suffering from cancer and celebrate people who have overcome the disease. Anyone can make a $10 donation toward a candle and place it in a luminary bag on which a name, a wish, a message can be written.” Prior to closing ceremonies slated for midnight, a “S’more Hope” bonfire is designed to leave attendees with a hopeful outlook on the fight against cancer, Hodge.

‘The Big Get-Together’ party features art, craft beer, food
(May 4, 2018) The Art League of Ocean City is accepting reservations for “The Big Get-Together,” an inaugural event bringing together handcrafted local art, craft beer, and food prepared by local chefs, on Wednesday, May 9 at 6 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts. The event will raise funds for art league programs. Co-sponsored by the OC Foodie Tour and ShoreCraft Beer, the event pairs local cuisine from six restaurants with hand-selected craft beer from three local breweries, and local art produced for the occasion. Full Circle Duo will entertain with live music. “This is your chance to support the arts, while you get together with your friends over a plate of delicious local food with a glass of craft beer in your hand,” Rina Thaler, executive director of the art league, said. “Brewing hand-crafted beer is an art, as is presenting hors d’oeuvres in a hand-designed way. This event ‘gets-together’ those crafts with the original hand-
done artwork on display in our galleries.” The OC Foodie Tour, providing food for the event, is the creation of Sandy Gillis, art league board member and owner of Creative Day Spa. Her tour guides small groups of guests on a mile-long, three-hour walking tour to local eateries, discussing local history and what they’ll discover along the way. The Foodie Tour is donating a portion of all ticket sales to the Art League. “I support the art league, because art unites communities … and connects all ages, races, religions, economic backgrounds,” Gillis said. “Art is the window to the soul. It allows us to express feelings without words. That’s why we’re participating in The Big Get-Together.” The Ocean City Center for the Arts will host the event throughout their galleries on 94th Street, bayside. Tickets are $35 and available at artleagueofoceancity.org/upcoming-events, or by calling 410-5249433.
Assateague Coastal Trust’s Native Plant Sale, Saturday (May 4, 2018) Assateague Coastal Trust will offer perennials, heirloom vegetables, fruit and herbs for preorder for its annual Native Plant Sale, scheduled May 5 at the ACT office on north Main Street in Berlin. Pre-ordering is strongly encouraged to guarantee choice of varieties. Visit ACT’s website at www.actforbays.org to browse and buy from the expanded inventory featuring native perennials suited to a range of sun and soil conditions, a bounty of new heirloom tomato, vegetable and fruit options, along with the popular garden herb selections. “We decided to bring back all the new choices we offered local gardeners last year,” said ACT Plant Sale Manager Billy Weiland. “This year we’re offering everyone’s favorite perennial varieties, and we will offer once again the new heirloom veggies and fruits ranging from eggplants and squashes to several melons.” The online menu makes it easy to order, with color photos and detailed descriptions of which plants prefer sun or shade, when they bloom, what good critters (bees and butterflies) like and what bad critters (deer) dislike. The site even offers special plant packages, grouping together plants that do well in sun or shade as well as the popular “Heirloom Tomato Sam-
pler” and sought after “Pollinator Package.” “You’ll want to order early so you don’t miss out on this incredible selection of garden goodies,” Weiland said. “Every year many of the most popular varieties sell out well before the date of the sale, so we strongly encourage folks to pre-order off our website as soon as they know what they want to grow this year.” Buying early not only ensures that gardeners get the pick of the crop, but it also makes it easier to claim an order on the date of the sale, Saturday May 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. “All pre-orders are pre-assembled so they’re ready for the old grab and grow the morning of the sale,” Weiland said. “That way, people can claim their plants in the morning and get them in the ground that same day if they want.” Native plants have a number of environmental benefits. They are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions and thus require less watering, fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides. They also generally attract and provide habitat for good critters and sometimes deter less desirable ones. Many plants are also magnets for pollinator pals such as birds, bees and butterflies.

First Friday event to showcase five senses at arts ctr.
(May 4, 2018) The First Friday opening at the Ocean City Center for the Arts showcases the five senses, with the two main galleries showing art inspired by how the body sees, smells, tastes, hears, and feels. The public is invited to the free opening reception on May 4 from 5-7 p.m. with complimentary hors d’oeuvres. The paintings of artist Debra Howard of Crisfield are on display in the Thaler Gallery with a show entitled “Fragrance.” Howard uses her gift of synesthesia — where one sense triggers another sense — for inspiration, attempting to visualize on canvas the invisible sense of smell. “When I closed my eyes and inhaled the fragrance, I would see these beautiful colorful images,” she said. “I found if I used layer upon layer of translucent and transparent colors and shapes, I could paint the images that the fragrance inspired.” Howard will also present a free lecture at the Arts Center the following day, Saturday, May 5, from 5-7 p.m. She will discuss how the sense of smell is a powerful communicator, evoking memories, visions, and places in time. Members of the Art League of Ocean City will also be displaying their work in a complementary group show, “Come to Your Senses,” in all media. Angela Herbert-Hodges, an artist and a Cordon Bleu chef, will judge the show. Continuing the senses theme, May’s artisan-in-residence is jeweler and aromatherapist Joy Galicinao of Ocean City who melds her two passions into her designs. Galicinao will also be teaching a course on “Strengthening Your Immune Systems with Essential Oils” on June 7, 5:30-8 p.m. at the Arts Center. During May, John Iampieri of Bishopville turns Studio E into a working studio, using the art of traditional Baltimore screen painting for a local public art project. Iampieri will be creating artwork on the screens that will be installed at the tennis courts next door to the Arts Center on 94th Street. The public is invite to participate and view the work in progress. The Spotlight Gallery hosts “Environmental Visions,” artworks by students in the Salisbury University Environmental Studies program. Compiled by SU teacher and Art League member Charlie Ewers, the exhibit will present photo illustrations from two Environmental Studies courses: ENV 205 – Art Nature, Culture, that looks at environmental issues from the perspective of the humanities, and ENVR 460 – The Bay in Words and Pictures, a photojournalism course on Chesapeake-related topics. Twenty SU students contributed to the show. Howard’s exhibition, as well as the other shows at the Arts Center, will be on display until May 26.

Community art project features screen painting
(May 4, 2018) Anyone familiar with the neighborhoods of East Baltimore has seen the hand-painted screens that once filled nearly every window and door of the long blocks of brick and formstone row houses. Painted screens are an authentic Baltimore urban folk art, created, displayed, and beloved there since 1913. The art of Baltimore screen painting comes to Ocean City as part of a community art project that will, upon completion, decorate the town’s public tennis courts on 94th Street. The theme of the screen murals is “Our Eastern Shore Habitat,” and the public is invited to become part of this project. Screen painter John Iampieri, formerly of Baltimore and now of Bishopville, is spearheading the project and is also the artist in residence for May at the Ocean City Center for the Arts. A member of the Baltimore Painted Screen Society, he is a roster member with MSAC and Young Audiences of Maryland, and a teacher in schools throughout Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. During April, as part of the Art League of Ocean City’s community programs and to prepare for his residency, Iampieri reached out to local students for help in designing and painting the
backgrounds of the screens. He also included curriculum about Eastern Shore habitat, the theme of the artwork. Students at Stephen Decatur Middle School and Worcester Prep and at the town’s Park & Rec Department’s after-school program at Northside Park participated in the project. The screens will move to a working space in Studio E at the Arts Center during May, where the artist will invite the public to contribute to the paintings. The open painting sessions are scheduled for First Friday, May 4, from 5-7 p.m.; Wednesday, May 23, from 1-4 p.m.; Friday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.;
and Tuesday, May 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone who wishes to participate or watch the work is welcome to walk in. In June, the painted mural screens will move next door from the Arts Center to the fences of the tennis courts for display throughout the summer season. Iampieri will also hold a class on the art of Baltimore screen painting on Wednesday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This workshop is a fundraiser to help defray the costs of the mural project. Participants will design and create a small screen that they can take home. Pre-registration is required. The cost is $50 with $40 going toward the mural

forests. The museum is a prime example, with cypress siding and heart pine floors dating back to 1891.” Maloof travels widely giving talks, visiting forests and adding forests to the Network. This is a rare opportunity for local friends and forest lovers to hear Maloof discuss her work. The inlet parking lot will be closed on May 5 due to Springfest.

Ocean Pines Aquatics to host Mother-Son Swim, Fri.
S
Here We Go Again! A family dining tradition! Opening for our 58th Season!
Fri., May 11th 4:30pm • Sat., May 12th 8am • Sun., May 13th 8am
Sunday ~ serving Mother’s Day Dinner starting at noon!
“Let our family serve yours.”
OPEN FRI. 4:30PM • SAT. & SUN. 8AM SERVING BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER CARRYOUT AVAILABLE
(May 4, 2018) Mothers and sons get their chance to spend a special evening swimming and having fun on Friday, May 4 from 6-8 p.m. at the indoor Sports Core Pool, located at 11144 Cathell Rd. in Ocean Pines. Inspired by the popularity of the father-daughter swim this past winter and just in time for Mother’s Day, this event will include crafts, a keepsake photo and frame, pizza, cookies and the opportunity to splash and play in the pool. “After our father-daughter swim was so successful, we had a few requests for a mother-son swim and thought it was a great idea as you don’t see many events for moms and their boys,” said Ocean Pines Aquatics Director Colby Phillips. “We are
always looking to offer new and fun events for families in addition to all ages and welcome any suggestions the community might want to see happen at our pools.” The entry fee for the event, which is open to the public, includes a mother and any sons she brings. The price is $10 for Ocean Pines swim members, $12 for Ocean Pines residents and $15 for nonresidents. Ocean Pines Aquatics hosts a variety of aquatic fitness classes, swim lessons and special events year-round, including a Dive-In Movie showing of “The Incredibles” on Saturday, May 12 at 6 p.m. at the Sports Core Pool. For more information, contact Ocean Pines Aquatics at 410-641-5255.
Annual Ride for the Feast set to take place May 12-13 (May 4, 2018) Hundreds of riders will hop on their bicycles this May for Moveable Feast’s largest fundraiser of the year, Ride for the Feast. With over 200 riders and a fundraising goal of $800,000, Ride for the Feast will be held Saturday, May 12 through Sunday, May 13. Riders will begin their journey on the Ocean City Boardwalk, and ride 100 miles until they reach the Talbot County Community Center in Easton. The second day is a bit lighter with 40 miles to the finish line at Moveable Feast’s headquarters in East Baltimore. For more information, visit www.rideforthefeast.org and follow @MFeastBaltimore on Facebook or @mfeastbmore on Instagram. All of the funds raised will directly benefit Moveable Feast. Joe Traill, owner of Joe’s Bike Shop & Race Pace Bicycles, will provide a helpful mnemonic for riders looking to do a long haul, or bringing their bike out of storage for the season. “There are the ABCs: air, brake and
chain. That’s always a good place to start,” he said. “You’ll want to inflate tires, lube the chain and check for wear, check spoke tension, check padware (brake pads).” For over 10 years, Joe’s Bike Shop has sponsored Ride for the Feast. “It’s fun for us. We look forward to helping out at it every year,” he said. “Sometimes there are ride day emergencies — people who haven’t done their ABCs. We give all the bikes a once over before we set off, and we’re there to help during the ride too.” Food is medicine. By eating right, Moveable Feast clients can strengthen their bodies and better fight their diseases. In 2017, Moveable Feast delivered over 700,000 meals, served almost 5,000 clients, and delivered over 45,000 bags of produce. These medically nutritious meals and other services are provided at no cost to those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or other life-threatening illnesses. Based in Baltimore City, Moveable Feast (501c3) serves the five surrounding counties and the entire Eastern Shore of Maryland.

SURF REPORT
Books hold ‘intrinsic and inherent value,’ writer says
By Dave Dalkiewicz Contributing Writer (May 4, 2018) I’ve been reading a few books lately. Both of them are about surfing and each comes from a different direction. “Wingnut’s Complete Surfing” is a how-to book, co-authored by Robert “Wingnut” Weaver and Scott Bannerot. Wingnut is the long experienced, wizened surfer having starred in the movie, “Endless Summer II.” “Endless Summer II” is the follow-up to the original “Endless Summer” which came out in the mid-1960’s and influenced many a surfer. “Endless Summer II” emerged in the mid-1990’s and is more contemporary in scope. Both are produced by Bruce Brown and both are classics in their own right. Bannerot is more the gifted writer and as a team, he and Wingnut indeed do a complete job. Every aspect is covered; getting started, reading waves, equipment, traveling and general ocean knowledge. It’s all in there and valuable as a reference to even the experienced surfer as well as the rote beginner. It was published in 2009 and its advice and recommendations are timeless. Pictures and illustrations are also used to aid the written text. The second book referred to is a collection of short stories titled, “Surf Lessons-Stories of an Eastern Surfer” by Earl Shores. Shores is a local, mid-Atlantic guy. His writing is enjoyable and easy to identify with. Much of his experience is in and around the Ocean City area peppered with trips to Hatteras. Not a how-to book as the before mentioned Weaver-Bannerot effort it’s a time honored “talk story” gathering of tales good and not-so-good. Once again, it’s all there. Road trips, girlfriends, injuries, small successes, summer jobs, early mornings, big swells and offshore winds. All of the above and more is pre-
sented with an “eastern” flair, once again so identifiable to anyone who has pursued the dream and some would say “the curse” of surfing for any amount of time. These days the computer in general and more specifically the internet has become the dominant source of information. Even what was and still is contained in the hallowed book form can be found on the internet. Books still hold an intrinsic and inherent value. This special device, the computer, isn’t necessary to access the internet. Electricity isn’t needed, except for a light to read at night. There’s no on or off switch. It’s quite akin to this newspaper that you now hold in your hand or have laid out on a table. It’s more tangible, more real. It’s not coming from some cloud or from “Idon’t-know-where,” buried deep in some mountain range out there. Somewhere. In the end, it really doesn’t matter where the information comes from, as long as it comes. I can recall watching ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” back in the day. Having heard of a little surfing coverage I was glued to the hour-long show just to get a glimpse of a brief segment of a contest in Hawaii. The higher ups of ABC, in their infinite wisdom, had enlisted the help of the much awarded Olympic swimmer, Mark Spitz, to do commentary. They figured that Spitz the swimmer would have knowledge of surfing which wasn’t the case at all. Still, it was a big deal to view surfing on a national television show even if my level of frustration was high with the brief coverage. No matter its source any mention or coverage of surfing is welcomed. To watch it or read about it can all be satisfying. Better yet, is to just go out and do it. That way, the observer can become the source, which is probably the desired position in the first place. — Dave Dalkiewicz is the owner of Ocean Atlantic Surf Shop in Ocean City.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) The third annual Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run and walk will take place next Saturday, May 12, on the Boardwalk. “Participants and supporters will get free information about prevention and identification of tick-related illnesses,” said organizer Angela Burke. “Ocean City’s Boardwalk is the best place on the planet to run or walk in a 5K. The gorgeous view and moderate temperatures are unmatched.” The event was cancelled in 2017 because of a storm and organizers expect a decent crowd this year with forecasts “expected to be absolutely spectacular for a morning run or walk by the ocean.” A couple hundred people participated in the inaugural event in 2016. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. where interested runners and walkers can sign up for $35, which includes a race bib for timing, Lyme disease prevention information, and a post-race party at the Cork Bar on Wicomico Street. In addition, the first 200 participants will also receive a long sleeve commemorative T-shirt. Preregister online for $28 until May 10. “Besides a 5K run and walk you can enjoy all the shopping, food and games on the Boardwalk after the event,” Burke said. “May is a wonderful time to be on Ocean City’s Boardwalk.” The race will begin at 9 a.m. at the inlet parking lot, where participants will head north on the Boardwalk and turn around between 15th and 16th streets before returning to the finish line at the inlet. There will be an awards ceremony immediately following the race with cash prizes going to the fastest male and female. A number of age-group winners will also receive medals. A post-race party will take place at the Cork Bar with silent and Chinese auction items. In 2016, Burke formed the nonprofit organization, “Fight the Bite,” which raises awareness through a website and collects funds to utilize billboards in the area. “This event is special in that all proceeds benefit ‘Fight the Bite,’ a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to educating the public about preventing tick-related illnesses,” Burke said. “We work closely with the Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva, which provides support groups and educational materials to the community.” Money raised during the event helped to rent ad space on the Ocean City transit system, which provides prevention information, Burke said. “We are very motivated to get the word out about protecting yourself, your children and pets from tick bites,” she said. For more information, visit FightTheBiteOC.org, search “Fight the Bite Lyme Awareness 5K” on Facebook or email Burke at fightthebiteoc@gmail.com.

Coastal Hospice recognizes volunteers during brunches (May 4, 2018) Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care honored dedicated volunteers from the Lower Eastern Shore who help ensure patients and families facing serious and life-limiting illness find care, compassion and support. Over the past year, volunteers in all roles contributed more than 14,000 service hours. “Hospice volunteers play an indispensable role in enabling Coastal Hospice to offer the best care possible for our patients, their families and caregivers,” said Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen. “By sharing their time, energy and expertise, our volunteers bring compassion and caring to the lives of those in need.” To recognize and celebrate the 172 hospice volunteers, Coastal Hospice hosted brunches during National Volunteer Week (April 15-21) and honored two volunteers with the annual Heart of Hospice Award – Annette Conger, patient support volunteer, and Cindi Strawley, patient care volunteer. The Heart of Hospice Award is named for one of Coastal Hospice’s
founders and most beloved volunteers, Jean Camie Jackson. This year’s award was presented by retired Circuit Court Judge, W. Newton Jackson, III, Jackson’s son, at the Berlin volunteer brunch. Coastal Hospice also provided “You Make a Difference” certificates to Jeanne Corbo, Pam Ferinde, Weezie Hartman, Ellen Lowe, Walter McCabe, Diana Pikulsky, Carolyn Post and Pat Ziolkowski for their remarkable number of volunteer hours in patient care, administrative support, bereavement and thrift shop roles. Volunteers may provide comfort and companionship to patients and families, administrative office support, emotional support and assistance during a 13month bereavement period, support to the operation of the Thrift Shop, and special military visits to veteran patients. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Atlantic General Hospital will hold a 25th anniversary community celebration on Tuesday, May 8, on Healthway Drive in Berlin from 3-6 p.m. “This is an opportunity for the community to come together for some fun and fellowship in celebration of our 25 years of healthcare,” said Sarah Yonker, director of marketing for Atlantic General Hospital. “This hospital was built for the community, by the community, and we want to thank them for their support.” There will be heavy hors d’ oeuvres, fruit, cheese, soft drinks and water at the event. In addition, a Frozen Farmer ice cream truck is slated to provide treats for attendees. “Our young (and young at heart) attendees can have fun in the bounce house, play games, get their faces

Celebration to include food, kid’s activities, ribbon cutting the area and a principle player in that effort, lamented the dearth of physicians in the coastal region, while the late Worcester County Commissioner and later Delegate Bennett Bozman and the late developer and businessman Irv Bainum worked diligently to recruit others to the cause. The possibility of a primary care hospital in the coastal area began to take shape after dozens of proponents formed a corporation and began the arduous process of trying to obtain a certificate of need from Maryland health regulators. What they had in their favor in this quest was the steadfast support of Gov. William Donald Schaeffer, who insisted that the certificate be granted. The original agreement reached by the corporation, the state and local governments was a threeway split of the $15 million building the hospital would require. The state would contribute $5 million, if the county donated $5 million, and if Ocean City would commit to $2.5 million, with the remaining $2.5 million to be donated by the local citizenry. It was Townsend’s Aunt Daisy who, in 1991, put the fund drive over the top with

a $1 million donation. Meanwhile, many community members embraced the cause at the urging of the late County Commissioner Jim Barrett. “A number of people got involved because of Jim Barrett, said Jim Almand, who was on the Atlantic General Hospital Board of Directors for nine years and was chairman for six. “ He enlisted the support of folks to get funding to build the hospital.” In 1991, public officials, board members and residents gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony. “There are a couple people who
were instrumental along the way and many behind the scenes,” Almand said. “There was a group of people on the board of directors or assisting them with the project of developing the hospital. “Others focused on raising money in the local community from private donors. The last group had connections in Annapolis and were able to generate support from the governor, mayor, city council and other legislators. This was all getting the approval before it was built.” Shirley Phillips, of Phillips Seafood, garnered support from the

Not-for-profit hospital offers many services University of Maryland Medical Systems to provide expert guidance. Linda Robbins served as project manager on the board of directors. In addition, Bainum, who was on the first board of directors, donated most of the land Atlantic General Hospital sits on and financed the legal services to obtain the certificate of need for the hospital. “There were a lot of people who helped and the first board of directors had about 20 people,” Almand said. “The community support was impressive. I am talking people from Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill and Ocean Pines. A lot of people got behind the project to make it successful, including Norm Conway, Maryland Gov. Donald Schaefer and Shirley and (Delegate) Mark Pilchard were a big help.” Dr. Stephen Waters, who has been the medical director of Atlantic General Hospital for about 15 years, was a part of the planning committee when the hospital opened in 1993 and served as chief of medical staff for two years. “Before the hospital opened, there were only about five doctors practicing in the area,” Waters said. “There was the ability to come together with the community and build a hospital and continue funding it. The medical
staff has steadily improved overtime. It is important to thank the early community members and physicians who gave a lot of time and energy to get the hospital going. My partner in those days, Bill Greer, took calls the first day the hospital opened.” On May 21, 1993, Atlantic General Hospital opened to the community with 62 beds, a small emergency department and a longterm care unit. The first year saw 13,316 emergency room visits, which exceeded projections by 10 percent. “After we got it up and running, the support from the community was what made it successful,” Almand said. “The financial support continued and the foundation kept raising money. Everything kept improving and it attracted great nurses and doctors.” Atlantic General Health System started with three primary care providers, but now includes 30 physicians in Berlin, Ocean Pines, Ocean City, West Ocean City and Pocomoke in addition to Ocean View, West Fenwick Island and Selbyville, Delaware. They offer primary care, pediatrics, gynecologic services, pulmonary care and imaging services. “The hospital has always had excellent leadership from the CEOs to
the board of directors,” Almand said. “The board has continued to attract smart and dedicated community members.” By 2004, the emergency department expanded to include 19 beds, and a fast-track area for more minor injuries and illnesses as well as a second lobby, a sleep disorders diagnostic center and additional space for pulmonary medicine and the hospital’s administration, outpatient laboratory and imaging department. The following year, existing hospital space was used to create the Center for Joint Surgery and the Women’s Diagnostic Center for mammograms, bone density measurements, and minimally invasive breast biopsies. In January 2006, a groundbreaking ceremony for the 42,000 squarefoot, two-story, James G. Barrett Medical Office Building on the corner of Healthway Drive took place. It opened to the public in April 2008 with a Wound Care Center and offices for the diabetes outpatient education program and the Atlantic Endoscopy Center. The location also has Atlantic General Surgical Associates and a women’s health center, a Coffee Beanery, Chesapeake Eye Center and Neurological Associates. “Atlantic General has dedicated
community support, dedicated physicians from all specialty areas, and associates who provide quality care while truly caring about the patients’ and family’s experience,” said Michael Franklin, who has been the CEO of Atlantic General Hospital for more than 12 years. Last June, there was a groundbreaking ceremony for the 18,000 square-foot John H. “Jack” Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center on the AGH campus at the corner of Route 113 and Route 346. The new center, which is slated to open in June, will offer outpatient chemotherapy infusion, hematology (blood disorders) care, PET scanning, community education, support groups, and hair and skin care support services. The John H. “Jack” Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center will also have telemedicine capabilities and conference facilities. In addition, there will be Atlantic General medical oncology physicians, radiation oncology physicians and a treatment center on site. “The hospital continues to grow in size and services,” Almand said. “Quality of care has always been at the forefront and the medical staff is as good as anywhere. It is a real jewel in the community.”

REAL ESTATE REPORT
Companies selected to REach Class program
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 4, 2018) The National Association of Realtors has selected eight organizations for the 2018 REach Class, a growth technology accelerator program helping launch companies into the real estate, financial services, banking, home services, and insurance industries. The REach program, via Second Century Ventures (the strategic investment arm of NAR) provides early-to mid-stage companies with access to NAR’s industry expertise, influence, and key relationships as companies are launched into the trillion-dollar real estate space. The vertical focus within real estate and related industries, and the growth stage at which most companies enter the program, make it unique compared to
other accelerators. “To remain at the forefront of business and technology solutions in real estate, my goal as CEO of NAR is to actively partner with and invest in outside technology companies,” NAR CEO Bob Goldberg said. “Through NAR’s Second Century Ventures and REach investments, we are able to leverage worldclass technology and resources that help us keep pace with evolving technology but also stay focused on what we do best – helping make Realtors® more successful and profitable.” The following companies were chosen for the 2018 REach class: • ActivePipe: Provides an email marketing automation platform for the real estate industry. • BoxBrownie.com: Offers high-
quality photo editing, virtual staging, floor plan redraws, and computer-generated imagery, or CGI, renders at competitive prices. • CurbCall: Offers a mobile, on-demand lead-routing technology that allows agents to instantly and safely connect with consumers. • Glide: Provides professional, fullservice transaction coordination backed by modern technology, which saves time, enhances compliance, and dramatically improves client service. • Hurdlr: Like a Fitbit for agents’ financial performance, Hurdlr helps agents hit their income goals by providing automated tracking and proactive guidance. • RealKey: Offers a browser-based transaction management system, which brings all parts of home buying and get-
ting a mortgage into a single unified portal, where all communication, updates, information and documentation collection are automated. • Quigler: Delivers a compliance checklist in an agent app, which gives consumers process transparency, accountability and instantaneous communication. • Zavvie: Offers a turnkey hyperlocal marketing system for agents, teams and brokerages, which helps generate listings and increases commissions. The eight organizations can expect significant results, as past classes have on average doubled their customer base and collectively raised more than $200 million in financing after program acceptance. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Commentary
AGH: full speed ahead at 25 years
The effort to establish a hospital in Worcester County in the late 1980s was what might be called a jaw-clenching, teethgrinding business. And that’s putting it mildly. Despite an abundance of enthusiasm by a relatively small group of people, gaining approval for and then constructing a hospital from scratch turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had imagined. The 25 years that have passed since the opening of Atlantic General Hospital might have softened the hard edges of that campaign, but it remains that its initial stages were a roller coaster of high hopes and deep despair. The drive had all the elements of a political thriller — big disagreements, subterfuge, arm twisting and a labyrinthine regulatory process that seemed stacked against a core of volunteers who, really, didn’t know the first thing about creating a health care facility. Another obstacle was that many residents along the coast needed convincing that a hospital would work and some objected to Ocean City government’s $2.5 million contribution to the effort, even though the resort’s huge visitor population was the primary justification for a quickly accessible primary care hospital. In addition, the hospital committee’s attempts to obtain the official approval of state health regulators involved enough red tape to strangle a herd of Assateague horses. Two things happened, however, that helped early hospital supporters break through to success: one was the arrival of a young expert advisor, Sam Moskowitz, a medical administrative professional, who today is senior vice-president of MedStar Health System in Baltimore. He helped guide the committee through everything from the nuts and bolts matters to negotiations of some delicacy. The other thing that occurred was then Gov. William Donald Schaefer came up big by declaring Atlantic General Hospital would get its certificate of need no matter what. Much of that battle has been forgotten. But with the hospital marking its 25th year, veterans of that effort probably remain amazed that what they began has since developed into something far beyond what they hoped to achieve.

The Web
It’s convenient, safe, secure and, best of all, it’s so good for you
I love the Internet, I really do. Among its many benefits, By I believe, is that it all0ws me to Stewart Dobson diagnose my own illnesses — “Wow, it looks like I have either Jumping Frenchman Disease or Alien Hand Syndrome — alerts me whenever a celebrity-politician-prominent individual goes STEWART DOBSON completely nuts-o or loses lots of weight, and informs me that the word for funny stomach noises is borborygmus, in case anyone asks. In addition, the Internet introduced me to my new friend, mr.ali@spurious.com, who told me by email that my email wasn’t working. Curious, no? According to the kind Mr. Ali, I had exceeded my email subscription’s 99-gigabyte limit, but, as luck would have it, I could “Click Here For An Easy Fix!” Call me a skeptic, but I sensed something might be amiss, because my email bill says I have a five gigabyte limit, rather than almost 20 times that, which, if true, would mean that I somehow topped out at just under 10 million pages of vital information. This would include urgent notices such as, The GOP/DEM (check one) Party is Lying, Remove Moles Painlessly, Amelia Earhart Is Alive, Chinese Girls Are Waiting For You and Don’t Miss This Amazing Investment Opportunity.
PUBLIC EYE
And yes, I have tried blocking every one of these critical updates but they keep seeping through anyway. That, plus Facebook’s problems, and knowing that friends of mine have had their identities stolen via the Internet recently (probably by Mr. Ali or associates), has led me to conclude that as helpful as the information superhighway might be, it’s also like buying a set of encyclopedias from a salesman who says, “If you’ll just show me where your silverware is, we can close this deal.” There’s no doubt about it — it’s a jungle out there. Incidentally, if you hear from Mr. Ali, take it from me: I don’t think he’s completely on the up and up.
Letters Republican mailer does not represent Mathias
Editor, The Maryland Republican Party recently disseminated a mailer accusing our State Sen. Jim Mathias of supporting legislation that encouraged the use of opiates and other dangerous drugs. As is the case with most negative political advertising, this allegation is false and grossly misleading. Like many politicians, Sen. Mathias’ opponent in the upcoming election claimed that she had no involvement in the action of the Republican Party, while failing to disavow the mailer’s false allegations and essentially repeating them in response to questions by the media. As we are all aware, there is an opioid epidemic in the State of Maryland and on the lower Eastern Shore. Last year, 2,500 of our fellow citizens in this state died from the misuse of these and related drugs. This problem has destroyed families and led to an increase of crime. It is not an issue that can simply be ignored. A bill was introduced in the last session of the state legislature by Sen.

Feldman of Montgomery County to provide a safe, sterile environment for the use of drugs that users had already obtained and to educate them about programs that could help them with their addiction. It is a program that has showed some success in other states in avoiding the tragic consequences of drug use. Recognizing the importance of the issue, Sen. Mathias initially agreed to co-sponsor the legislation, but upon further scrutiny decided that he could not support it as proposed. These are the facts. Throughout his career as a public servant serving the citizens of the Eastern Shore, Sen. Mathias has demonstrated time and again his dedication to his constituents and their problems. His willingness to consider legislation to address a problem that is threatening the lives and safety of those he represents should be applauded, not condemned. In the last election, Norm Conway – a valued and dedicated member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing the Eastern Shore – fell victim to false and salacious advertising paid for by the Republican State Party and outside political action commit-

Worthwhile dialog about hospice, comfort care
Editor, First lady Barbara Bush’s decision to choose comfort care has sparked a conversation about what it means to stop aggressively fighting terminal illness and emphasized the importance of advance directives. Comfort care is an essential form of medical care provided at the end of life to soothe a person who is dying. The goals of comfort care are to manage symptoms and prevent or relieve suffering in order to improve one’s quality of life and retain the dying person’s wishes and dignity. Hospice is comfort care, without the intent to cure, because the natural dying process is permitted to occur while assuring maximum comfort. Comfort provided by hospice supports emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the patient and the family. Advance directives clearly commu-
Page 82 nicate a person’s health care wises to their family and medical providers, relieving relatives of the burden of deciding what their loved one would have wanted. Making your wishes known when you are still able to make decisions, and putting them in writing, is a great relief to your family. This document allows them to know they are following what you would have wanted including whether you want certain aggressive treatments as well as what you don’t want. Only 37 percent of Americans have completed advance directives, even though most people say it is important to make sure their family does not have to make such tough decisions on their behalf. Advance directives are critical for people of all ages because a healthcare crisis can occur at any time: during a serious illness, after an automobile accident or head injury, or during a heart attack or stroke. Coastal Hospice and Palliative Care has trained staff available to assist with advance directives and related questions. Staff recently worked with representatives from MAC, Inc. to host one-on-one advance directives education throughout the community

Slippery slope between yoga, prayer in schools
Editor, I would like to thank the editor and writer of Ocean City Today for bringing to light concerns Pastor Daryl McCready has with the “mindfulness” program in place at an elementary school level and planned to expand to higher levels of the Worcester County School system. It would behoove parents and members of the school system to at least research the basis of his concern before teaching little children these practices they say have only “positive, calming” outcomes. They could start by googling Caryl Matrisciana. Of course, it is understandable that parents and even officials will be angry at his warning. When I was first told, I was also angry and felt this was the unsubstantiated belief of an extremist, fundamental branch of Christianity. I didn’t know anything about yoga and centering except that it was great exercise and wonderful control disci-
pline. But I did my homework. I think this is what Pastor McCready is asking of the school system to do. Even though they did not speak out, other pastors who viewed the program tell me they agree with him. What I found out is that these techniques are based on the Hindu religion. Centering is “aligning their chakras” with The Great Serpent” and posing to open themselves up to the many thousands of gods of Eastern Mysticism. Even having them grow up, as Caryl Matrisciana did, thinking that these practices are safe exposes them to delving into higher levels of this religious practice which is anything but harmless. I am asking parents and educators to please consider these sweet little vulnerable children. We cannot have them say “The Lord’s Prayer” in school because of the Supreme Court’s decision. Giving Hindu and Eastern Mysticism to them in the morning is no different, and it is my opinion the Worcester County Board of Education may end up in a very long and very expensive lawsuit.

Letters to the editor Continued from Page 83 the podium to voice alarm about a chicken factory farm planned for Peerless Road expressed frustration that they were left in the dark, purposefully, about the prospect of the pollution and health hazard until the last of the permits was about the be rubber stamped by the MDE. Those at the hearing learned that the CAFO was to be forced upon them only days before the final permit was to be inked. Had one concerned citizen not demanded the hearing, it would not have happened. How is it possible that an operation that will expel up to 12 tons of ammonia annually, to say nothing of the airborne particulates that contribute to asthma and other respiratory dis-
eases, could be permitted by the county without giving those whose lives are most likely to be adversely impacted the privilege of reviewing what is clearly a major health hazard, and voicing their concern? The wording of the permit itself is designed to camouflage the potential of a disastrous situation for those among us who are the most vulnerable – children and senior citizens. It describes the poultry factory as a “zero emission” operation. This industrial chicken factory will grow half a million chickens a year, have three 600-foot long houses on a piece of property far too small and too close to Shingle Landing Prong, a stressed tributary of the St. Martin River.

a chicken factory farm with their windows down knows that this is beyond absurd; it is downright deceitful. There is no such thing as a “zero emission” poultry CAFO, as two citizens who were raised on chicken farm factories testified. This CAFO is not a farm, it is an industrial use and should not be placed within three miles of schools, churches, a daycare center, and Ocean Pines, the county’s most populous community. There are too many reasons why this is a disastrous decision for those who live in the St. Martin watershed to list in this letter. Suffice it to say the St. Martin, a river that is so badly degraded shellfishing is off limits because of health hazards, is also a river that is on the mend following the
2006 closing of a poultry-processing center in Showell. It cannot bear this assault, nor can those who recreate on it or who live along and nearby its shoreline. The meeting room in Snow Hill was standing room only, representing a small fraction of those who felt themselves betrayed by officials and a system rigged against them. Regardless of whether one approves of or objects to the expansion of poultry factories near residential neighborhoods and population centers, everyone deserves the right to be advised of such plans in time to learn the facts and voice either concern or support.

Median fence post panels to begin installation this week Continued from Page 1 switch to some nighttime paving, we are going to complete this project for the town of Ocean City,” he said. Turning to the median enhancement project, Beane said all fence posts and light poles are installed, with panels coming next. “Fence panels … we’re actually going to have our first delivery of about one third of those coming this weekend and we’ll start that work next week,” he said. Councilman Tony DeLuca asked about the status of roadwork during the upcoming Springfest. “We’re not going to have any lane closures this weekend,” Beane said. Councilwoman Mary Knight said she had received numerous emails about the number of new median lighting poles and arms. Meredith said state highway is installing LED lighting, which is energy efficient and provides superior illumination. “I think once you see them on, you’ll be very pleased,” he said. “The important thing is none of us lose focus on the reason why that fence is there and that’s to save lives.” City Engineer Terry McGean said once the LED lighting goes live, the city could consider removing a number of current lights along Coastal Highway. “The ones where you can cross, the lights on the edge [that] we pay the electric bills on, those stay, but the ones mid-block go away,” he said. Councilman Dennis Dare added that the LED lighting might override the traditional lighting on Coastal. “When the new lights are energized, since they’re higher and brighter, they may trick the photo cells into thinking it’s still daytime
and they may not come on,” he said. Returning to an earlier theme, Beane said the median LED lighting should be working by Memorial Day. “[Memorial Day,] that’s the secret word right now,” Meredith quipped. Looking ahead to the possibility of expanding the median fence, Meredith said state highway would work in conjunction with Ocean City to evaluate plans. “We have to see what type of feedback that we get [and] if it proves to be a safety enhancement,” he said. “We’re not committed to do any until we have the information needed to make that judgment.” Speaking of more concrete plans, Beane provided a preview of planned paving work on Coastal Highway next year. “Next spring we’ll be paving from the joint where we finished this season on 26th Street, all the way down to Route 50,” he said. Other topics covered during the update included: • Route 90 dualization: Meredith told the council the vetting process for transportation projects costing at least $5 million is now under the domain of the Maryland Department of Transportation following the passage of Senate Bill 307 in April 2017. “There is a new SHA policy we are becoming familiar with ourselves,” he said. “There’s a ranking system now to determine priorities.” The department scoring model became effective in December. Meredith said although the county would now consult with another state agency to get the proverbial ball rolling, there is no indication the project would be stymied. See MEREDITH Page 86

Meredith presents SHA progress Continued from Page 85 “In no way are we suggesting after years of talking that now it’s not going to happen,” he said. “It’s just a little different process that’s used to determine which projects get funding.” • Special event zones: Meredith said a meeting is scheduled this Thursday to coordinate implementation of recently signed legislation permitting Worcester County, in conjunction with state highway, to designate roadways as special event zones, with reduced speed limits and increased fines. “We know you have an event coming up and … we’re prepared to do whatever we have to do to have your special event zone set up,” he said. •Route 50 bridge repairs: Meredith said work has been wrapped up to repair a metal plate that had warped. “We were worried somebody might hook into it,” he said. “It was an inconvenience, but we did get in there and get it done quickly.” • Coastal Highway catch basin cleaning: Meredith said the worst spots have been addressed and regular monitoring is planned. “We did clean the most problematic areas and we’re continuing to do that as a routine maintenance operation,” he said. • Third Street/Philadelphia Ave. traffic light: Jane Potvin, assistant district engineer of traffic, said an updated crash study might be required. She said she will coordinate with City Engineer Terry McGean to move the process forward. • Salisbury bypass bridge repairs: Beane said all 11 bridges along the bypass have been repaired, with paving work completed on the south-

bound lanes, and again struck a familiar chord. “We will be back to four lanes of traffic for Memorial Day,” he said. “After Memorial Day, we’ll have some daytime off-peak lane closures as we take care of paving on the north bound section.” • State changes to ADA ramps Beane said although no time frames have been established, the state is working on changing American with Disability Act compliant ramps along Coastal Highway, which are often tripping hazards due to raised portions of concrete. “We are looking at alternative designs for unsafe intersections,” he said. “Although they are ADA complaint, we are tired of dealing with the lawsuits … and quite frankly they are unsafe.” Beane said the trouble spots along Philadelphia and Baltimore avenues have already been inventoried. • Sidewalk extension 59th to 61st: Although the suggestion came about too late to be lumped into current roadwork, Meredith said extending the concrete sidewalk between 59th and 61st streets could be examined.

St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opens addition to begin new chapter
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church at 302 Baltimore Ave. celebrated a rebirth Saturday during the Blessing of The Fellowship Commons, a two-story addition built to replace a portion destroyed by fire in Nov. 2013. The ceremony was lead by the Right Rev. Santosh Marray, Bishop of the Diocese of Easton, and church rector Father Matthew Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amario, along with St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vestry wardens. The recently completed 2,300square-foot addition fills the void left after the 2013 fire that began when John Sterner, 56, burst into the Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crook Ministry, a food pantry operated from the rectory, smelling of gasoline and set himself on fire. The ensuing blaze, just two days be-
fore Thanksgiving, took the life of church pastor Rev. David Dingwall and left church volunteer Dana Truitt critically injured with third-degree burns. John Knotts, senior church warden, said despite the dark history, a new chapter is now being written. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thought is we are finally able to open this building since the disastrous fire,â&#x20AC;? he said. Also on hand was Delegate Mary Beth Carozza (R-38C) who said the event united congregation members with a larger body of residents to forge a new path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a joyful day and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to see the entire church community, and the community in general, come together to celebrate the opening of the church,â&#x20AC;? she said.

bons in remembrance of Rev. Dingwall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the finish of a long and painful journey that started with a fire,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people here have worked so hard to get it to this day, and I know Father David would be proud of us.â&#x20AC;? Contractor Gillis Gilkerson broke ground last May on the project to replace the northwest section of the Gothic Revival wood-shingled church that housed the original rectory, which was razed in May 2014. Despite a few unexpected challenges, Knotts said work wrapped up fairly close to the original target of early February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It actually took a littler bit longer, but then there was stuff we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they dug down to lay the foundation for the elevator, they
ran into water.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, related repairs were made inside the main church structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction on the Eastern Shore â&#x20AC;Ś we all know how that goes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took about a month and a half longer than we anticipated, but the wait was well worth it because the building is beautiful.â&#x20AC;? The Fellowship Commons is equipped with a larger, more modern elevator, additional storage space, a new ground level lobby, gathering space at the sanctuary level, a meeting and conference space, a new driveway and additional restroom in the parishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We built this and this is our future,â&#x20AC;? Knotts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for.â&#x20AC;?

County schedules public hearings for enterprise funds Water/sewer, solid waste, liquor support themselves
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 4, 2018) Along with taxpayer-funded services, Worcester County government manages three “Enterprise Funds,” which are intended to support themselves through user fees, among other mechanisms, and the budgets for these funds will be subject to public hearing on June 5. The fiscal 2019 budget is expected to be adopted that same day. Worcester County operates these separate funds for water and wastewater, solid waste, and liquor control, though the sitting board of commissioners only really intended to be running two by this point in their terms — the board voted to dissolve the liquor control department in late 2015, with retails sales ending after summer 2016 and wholesale operations ending in July 2017. However, a legal challenge continues to delay the formal exit of the county from the business, as the case has progressed from the Circuit Court See LIQUOR Page 92

Residence Inn opens for business Contractor, other troubles kept site silent for years
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Roughly four years after groundbreaking, the Marriott Residence Inn & Suites on 61st Street bayside opened for business this week. General Manage Keith Whisenant said the eight-story, 150-room Residence Inn at 300 Seabay Lane officially went into operation on Monday. “We opened up yesterday in the afternoon, kind of under the radar,” he said. “We had our first arrival [Tuesday] from Baltimore [and] they were overwhelmed to be the first guests.” Located on a four-acre parcel that formerly housed the Ocean City Health and Racquet Club, the project
was developed by the Inns of Ocean City LLC, which Whisenant said has labored to create a lodging “jewel,” customized for the region. “The investment from ownership is very prevalent [and] they live to deliver on the Marriott product,” he said. “We’re going to be the number one Residence Inn in every way possible.” With initial design plans submitted in 2014, the project took significantly longer than anticipated to complete after hitting a snag with initial contractor, Berlin-based Sens Mechanical Inc. In late November 2016, contractor Whiting-Turner was selected to shuttle the project to fruition. In contrast to the prolonged construction time, Whisenant said since hiring management staff roughly
three months ago, an inordinate amount of personal effort has been invested to bring the new resort online. “I’ve never seen a team come together and work with such effort and pride,” he said. “I don’t have a weak link.” After nearly a quarter century in the lodging industry, Whisenant has a clear vision for the new entity. “We’re here to make people happy,” he said. “We’re a Marriott property and we will deliver a Marriott product and service level.” Plans are still being formulated for a grand opening ceremony later this year, Whisenant said. “We’re hoping to be a strong steward to the community and our guests,” he said. “This hotel is a place that will rival any on the planet.”

Liquor control budget set at $915K for FY19 Continued from Page 91 to Maryland’s highest court, the Court of Special Appeals. To keep the lights on during the legal wrangling, County Treasurer Phil Thompson was forced to devise a makeshift budget of about $1 million, which has been reduced to $915,000 for fiscal 2019. The proposed cuts include inventory, supplies and interfund charges, while personnel and maintenance costs are expected to increase. Interfund charges are generally surpluses of profits that can be loaned out between enterprise funds to cover shortfalls. In this regard, the Liquor Control Department was something of a moneymaker for Worcester County, using gains from wholesale and retail operations to subsidize losses in other areas, like solid waste. The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund includes three transfers from other funds this year, including from two sections of the general fund and one from reserves, totaling about $1.9 million, which is about $350,000 more than last year. Tipping fee and permit revenues are expected to drop more than $200,000 this year for the solid waste division, and personnel expenses are expected to increase in a total requested budget of about $6 million, a two percent increase over last year. The water and sewer fund is somewhat harder to pinpoint, because it’s composed of funds from 11 separate service areas, each with its own demands, surpluses and shortfalls. No usage fees have been proposed to increase, but prices on things such as base fees and flat charges have increased nearly across the board. The commissioners are expected to adopt the budgets at the conclusion of the public hearings.

WORLD WAR II
Amoy alters air-to-air combat
By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (May 4, 2018) In September 1958, Chinese Nationalist F-86 fighter jets fired the first “Sidewinder” air-to-air missiles to down 11 Communist Chinese MiG-17s over the Formosa Straits, near the island of Amoy (now known as Xiamen). Until that time, aircraft defensive means were primarily limited to fighter pilots firing small caliber machine gun ammunition in dogfight situations. The “Sidewinder” missile was invented and developed at the Naval Ordnance Test Station in China Lake, California, near Ridgecrest. The missile is considered, by some, to be the most successful air-to-air missile in history. This missile would eventually down hundreds of aircraft over North Vietnam, the Middle East (during the Arab-Israeli Wars), Falkland Islands, and the first Gulf War of 1991. This week, 80 years ago, Amoy was the scene of another conflict, when China and Imperial Japan were locked in a massive struggle, as China fought for its very existence. With the successful conclusion of the campaigns against the Chinese forces in 1937, Japan began to look for a way to strangle China, and prevent military supplies from reaching her armies. For this reason, Amoy was selected to be the target for a swift operation that would eventually deny the Chinese forces the southern supply route. Control of Amoy Island would also provide a base for Japan to make the blockade

of Fujian Province more effective, and would prevent China from communicating with the outside world and importing needed arms and materials. In early 1938, the Japanese Army air planes started a campaign to bomb China’s supply railKoichi Shiozawa way linking Hong KongCanton-Hankow. The bombing continued every day in an effort to cut off military supplies. But, it didn’t succeed. The island of Amoy, with its strategic location 140 miles west of Formosa (now Taiwan), 300 miles northeast of Canton and 450 miles southeast of Hankow, became the obvious next target for Japan. The occupation of Amoy was to be an easy operation and was entrusted to the Navy. The Japanese knew that the outcome of war with China depended on preventing guns and munitions from reaching Chinese forces at the front. By establishing a base on Amoy, they could intensify the air attacks on the Canton railway and permanently cut off military supplies. On May 10, 1938, the Japanese Fifth Fleet, under the command of Admiral Kōichi Shiozawa, conducted operations to capture the IsContinued on Page 93

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 92 land of Amoy. After a two-day assault by sea, air and land, the island fell. The operation was also to give Japan a strategic foothold as a prelude for the invasion of South China. The Japanese attacking force included elite Imperial marine units of the Special Naval Landing Forces of Kure, Yokosuka, and Sasebo. The aircraft carrier Kaga, captained by Ono Ichiro, provided air attacks on the Chinese ground troops on the island. This was the same carrier that would participate in the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and that would eventually be sunk during the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. At both battles, the carrier would be captained by Okada Jisaku. On the other side, the Chinese defense force for the Amoy Area included the 75th Division, commanded by Han Wen-ying, and some naval and garrison units, commanded by Kao Hsien-shen. These troops were no match for the Imperial Japanese Marines and the firepower of the Imperial Japanese Navy carrier, heavy and light cruisers. In a humanitarian effort to save Chinese civilians, the US sent the gunboat USS Asheville, that was present in Amoy during May. This gunboat, commanded by Allen G. Quynn, Sr., of Frederick, Maryland, saved approximately 60,000 Chinese
residents from starving, after they had been placed on a small island adjacent to Amoy by the Japanese invasion forces, with no food or water. The USS Asheville commandeered a rice and water barge from Amoy and brought it to the Chinese on the island of Kulangsu to supply the trapped civilians. USS Asheville was part of the US Asiatic Fleet at the outbreak of World War II. The gunboat was on patrol in the Philippines when Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 8, 1941 (Philippines time). The ship was ordered south, by Adm. Thomas C. Hart, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic Fleet, to the Dutch East Indies (N.E.I.) in December 1941, with most of the rest of the American surface fleet. Asheville escaped early destruction by making a 12-day, 2,000-mile voyage to the south coast of Java. She was later sunk south of Java by two Japanese destroyers — the Arashi and Nowaki — on March 3, 1942. One survivor, FM/1c Fred L. Brown from Ft. Wayne, Indiana, was picked up by a Japanese destroyer. Mr. Brown later died in a POW camp in the Celebes, N.E.I., in March 1945. With the occupation of Amoy, the next goal for Japan, in 1938 and beyond, was to complete the conquest of south China. Next week: The Big “E” commissioned

Stephen Decatur track & field athletes, from left, senior Joel Niles (triple jump), freshman Morgan Davis (300-meter hurdles) and sophomore Eric Bontempo (shot put) compete in their respective events during Monday’s meet in Berlin.
SD girls’ team wins meet, boys’ squad 2nd

Also, we need to have the mindset that we are all going to run our best race on Wednesday,” Stigler said. “The team race is pretty wide open this year.” Sixteen Bayside schools will be represented during the meet. Stigler expects the Decatur squads to finish in the middle of the pack. “If we have a couple of good performances, maybe a little higher,” he said.
SD girls’ lacrosse squad starts off strong, wins 16-10
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team came out ready to play on Monday, scoring early and often on the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres in Easton. “They started off super strong from the first whistle. We scored five goals in the first five minutes,” Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said. “It’s probably the strongest we’ve started off a game all season.” The Lady Seahawks led 11-3 at halftime and went on to win 16-10. “The girls in the midfield were coming up with the draw controls and we were producing quickly,” Braniecki said. “The strong start certainly gave us momentum throughout the game.” See GIRLS Page 96

WP tennis teams win over Decatur
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Worcester Prep girls’ and boys’ tennis teams both won 61 over the Stephen Decatur Seahawks on Tuesday in Berlin. The girls competed on Decatur’s courts and played their format – four singles and three doubles matches. The Lady Mallards swept the singles competition. Winning first through fourth singles were sophomores Annika Larsen (8-1) and Abi Plylar (8-1), senior captain Hope Sens (8-0) and freshman Summer Walker (8-0). Decatur’s first doubles pair of junior captain Grace Beres and sophomore Laura Meadows edged out their competition, 8-6. Prep sophomores Kennedy Humes and Korina Gjikuria outscored their second doubles opponents, 8-2. Freshmen Waverly Choy and Marika Vasilikos, in only their second varsity outing, took
their third doubles match, 8-0. Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said the Mallards adjusted well to playing a different format – Worcester usually competes in five singles matches and two doubles. Knowing it was going to be a hot day and with three tough matches to end the season, Hudson gave more players the opportunity to step on the court, instead of her singles players also playing in doubles matches. “The girls continue to stay focused and competitive,” she said. “They’re trying a variety of shots and techniques to be competitive out on the court.” The boys’ played on Worcester’s court and in its format. Earning victories at first through fifth singles for the Prep team were juniors Dominic Anthony (8-4) and Will Todd (8-0), senior captain Brenner Maull (81), junior Colin Miller (8-0) and senior captain Brendan Miller (8-2). Decatur’s duo of junior captain
Jonathan Petito and sophomore Austin Marple won the first doubles match, 8-1. Prep junior Nick Lange and sophomore Ryan Cronin pulled out a 7-3 victory in a tiebreaker set at second doubles. “They were down and they would come back. They were aggressive and didn’t quit,” Worcester Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “They dug their feet in and started building a comeback.” Overall, Underkoffler was pleased with the Mallards’ performance. “They’re consistently improving and responding well to what they’re doing in training,” he said. “They have a game plan in mind and they adjust during matches. I want them to have a plan and execute, rather than just hit the ball and hope for the best.” Worcester will host the James M. Bennett Clippers, today, Friday, at 4 p.m. Only the girls will play on Monday against the Delmarva Christian Royals at 4 p.m. in Georgetown, Delaware.

Lady Mallards log wins over Indians, Sabres By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team picked up two victories on the road this week. On Monday, the Lady Mallards outscored the Indian River Indians, 153, in Dagsboro, Delaware. “I was really proud of the goals they had. Twelve of the 15 were assisted,” Prep Coach Brooke Hahn said. “The girls cleaned things up and worked well in the midfield.” Worcester led 11-1 at halftime. Senior Cameron Langeler scored three goals for
Worcester and had an assist. Senior Marissa Grosso and junior captain Delaney Abercrombie had two goals and three assists each. Sophomore captain Carly Hoffman tallied two goals. She also won six draws. Senior captain Sophia Bandorick made one save in the goal for Worcester. Junior Clare DeMallie recorded three saves. “The defense did well sliding, the midfielders controlled the ball really well and got a lot of draw controls, and our attackers were able to execute some new plays,” Hahn said. On Wednesday, the Mallards traveled
to Easton to take on their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres. After a tight battle early, Worcester pulled ahead and kept rolling onto a 137 win. “It was one and one for a long time, then we just felt the momentum swing and ran with it,” Hahn said. The Prep squad only held a 5-4 advantage at halftime. “Everyone stepped up and had a fantastic game.” Hoffman netted five goals and won six draws. Abercrombie chipped in with four goals and two assists. Grosso tallied
two goals and an assist. Bandorick stopped eight Sabres’ shots. “Defense stepped up and didn’t let them in the eight, our midfielders worked really hard even with the heat, attack moved the ball really well and capitalized on big opportunities,” Hahn said. “They all showed a lot of heart and we could tell they wanted it, especially since it means the championship will be on our home turf next week.” Worcester’s final game of the regular season is against the Sussex Tech Ravens at 4 p.m. Monday in Berlin. The Mallards will host the ESIAC semis Wednesday.

Decatur tennis teams earn victories over Washington
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ tennis team shut out the Washington Jaguars, 7-0, while the Lady Seahawks won, 5-2, on Monday in Princess Anne. With a few of the Decatur starters unable to attend, the rest of the boys moved up in the lineup. Junior captain Jonathan Petito, playing in the first singles spot, earned an 8-1 victory. Sophomore Austin Marple stepped into the No. 2 spot and came out on top, 8-2. Freshman Aaron Cohen and junior Aaron Campbell usually play doubles, but on Monday they competed at third and fourth singles, respectively. Cohen won 8-4 and Campbell 8-2. Petito teamed up with Marple for first doubles. The pair took their match 8-2. Freshman Colin Porter and junior Omar Omar won 8-2 at second doubles. Washington forfeited the third doubles match to Decatur. “They played really strong. They’re understanding strategy now and they’re playing points with tennis strategy,” Decatur Coach Steve Berquist said. “You can see we’ve improved a lot this season. It’s exciting going into the [May 16-17] district tournament.”
The girls’ team won two of the four singles matches and both were tough battles. Sophomore Sarah Haskell’s third singles competition went back and fourth the entire time. Trailing 6-7, Haskell won the next three to take the match, 9-7. “It was a good match,” Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “She was consistent and at the end she got her serves in. She continued to improve while her opponent started to make unforced errors.” Junior Sophia Gordy was also tested. Behind 5-6, Gordy won the next three to come out on top 8-6 at fourth singles. Junior captain Grace Beres and sophomore Laura Meadows scored an 8-1 victory at first doubles. Seniors Delaney Sites and Amelia Nickell topped their second doubles opponents, 8-3. Junior Abby Crisanti and senior Fallon Brown won their third doubles match, 8-1. “I thought they played OK. I was happy with they play overall,” Greenwood said. “A majority of them went to prom, so it was a long weekend for them and they seemed a little tired.” The District VIII championship will take place May 16-17 in Cambridge. Decatur coaches are working on the lineup for the competition.

McDonough’s 3-run homer kicks off Decatur’s offense
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Stephen Decatur baseball team drove in 10 runs and held the Mardela Warriors to one on Tuesday in Berlin. “[We] played well early, but got complacent,” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said. “[We] pitched and played defense well. We need to be more aggressive at the plate.” Senior Tristan McDonough led the charge in the first inning with a threerun homer. Decatur scored five in the first inning and then pulled ahead 6-0 in the third. Mardela tallied its run in the fourth
inning. The Seahawks added four runs in the sixth inning. Senior Zach Pilarski had two hits and two RBIs. Junior Brett Berquist also had two hit and one RBI.

SWING AWAY
Seahawks edge out Rams, 9-8 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team edged out the Parkside Rams, 9-8, on Tuesday in Salisbury. “We were down 8-4 with just under six minutes left, then we got one [goal], then another and another,” Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said. “We just chipped away at it.” During a timeout, Lathroum said he told the Seahawks, “Take it now. We’ve got to take the game.”
“They started responding,” he said. The Seahawks struggled against Parkside’s zone defense, Lathroum said. They also had too many turnovers, he added. The Seahawks led 2-1 at the end of the first quarter. At halftime, Parkside was ahead 4-3. The Rams were on top 8-4 at the end of the third. Decatur junior Chase Porter tied the score 8-8. Senior captain Collin Eichelberger netted the go-ahead goal with about two minutes remaining in the game. Porter and senior Parker Wheeler
scored two goals each. Eichelberger, senior captain Charlie Coates, senior Dominic Klebe, junior Kevin Beck, and sophomore Eric Gwin tallied one goal apiece. Decatur sophomore goalie Tony Scafone stopped six Parkside shots. “At the end of the game I told them, ‘You condensed a 48-minute game into six minutes and won,’” Lathroum said. “I was proud of them. When I challenged them, they rose to the challenge.” Decatur fell to the James M. Bennett Clippers, 12-8, on Wednesday in Berlin – the Seahawks’ final game of the regular season. They will now prepare for the regional and state tournament.

WP Mallards roll on to 19-2 win over Royals
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team wrapped up regularseason competition with a 19-2 victory over the Delmarva Christian Royals on Wednesday in Georgetown, Delaware. “We started off a little flat. Then as the game went on, we started to pick it up and play better,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. During a Delmarva Christian timeout in the opening quarter, Gates said he took the opportunity to motivate his players. “We were getting some good looks, but they weren’t playing fundamentally
sound,” he said. “I told them, ‘Here’s your chance to take it to them.’ I tried to get them to focus.” Worcester led 7-1 at the end of the first quarter and 13-1 at halftime. The Mallards boosted their advantage to 17-1 in the third. Senior captain Sam Cantello led Worcester with four goals. Junior Alec Dembeck scored three goals and had two assists. Freshman Graham McColgan chipped in with two goals and an assist. He also scooped up five ground balls. Senior Porter Bunting, sophomore JP Issel and freshman Mason Brown tallied
two goals apiece. Senior captain Jack Fager recorded three saves in the first half. Freshman Hunter Gentry stopped three Delmarva Christian shots in the second half. Junior Basil Christian made one save in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Noah Hudson won nine of 15 face-offs. Sophomore Sam Tinkler won five and freshman John Arrington tallied three. “Once we started we kept rolling,” Gates said. “We moved the ball pretty well, we were sharing the ball, and defense played pretty well overall. Our goalies
made some good saves when they did get shots off.” Worcester will host the Calverton Cougars on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. for the Metro Independent Lacrosse League semifinals. When the two teams went head-tohead on April 13 in Berlin, Worcester won 12-11 in overtime, so Gates expects Calverton to come looking to avenge that loss. “We have to rise to the challenge,” he said. “We need to fix the things we did wrong the last time we played them, and do the things we did well. Everyone’s got to play their best and be focused.”
Love for Lungs Tennis Tournament
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 4, 2018) In its first two years, the Love for Lungs Tennis Tournament raised about $60,000 for The Program in Lung Healing at University of Maryland. “It’s very exciting. The first year we were expecting to get about $5,000 – and we got $28,000,” said tournament organizer, Worcester Preparatory School sophomore Abi Plylar. “That just blew our minds and we got about the same the next year.” About 30 players participated the first year. During the second year the field grew to about 60.
“The word got out more and people told their friends, and they told their friends,” Plylar said. For the third annual tournament, May 18-19 at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach, Delaware, Plylar said the goal is to draw 100 participants and raise $120,000. A number of players have already registered. Most have participated in the tournament before, but there are also several new competitors this year. “It’s very exciting. We never thought it would get this big,” said Plylar, who plays tennis for Worcester Prep. Plylar started the tournament in
honor of her grandfather, Ron, and to raise awareness and funds for lung disease research. On April 17, 2015 her grandfather passed away from the lung disease Pulmonary Fibrosis. “Despite visiting numerous top pulmonary physicians across the country, my grandfather’s disease continued to go misdiagnosed,” she said on the event website, www.loveforlungs.com. “He was considered a high-risk transplant candidate due to his age and the severity of his disease. Nevertheless, Dr. Aldo Iacono at The University of Maryland

Tennis Tournament fundraiser for lung disease research Continued from Page 100 lung transplant.” After his death, she and her family were invited to tour the Program in Lung Healing at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Plylar said she was so impressed with the research conducted there that she wanted to show her support, so she decided to start a tennis tournament. “It’s very important to me and my family. We feel so indebted to the University of Maryland, and also we want to let everyone know how deadly Pulmonary Fibrosis is,” she said. “It kills about 40,000 each year. That’s comparable to breast cancer. “You hear lots about breast cancer, as you should, but you don’t hear near as much about Pulmonary Fibrosis and it’s just as deadly,” she continued. “We want to get the word out about that, about lung diseases and about the University of Maryland, because it usually doesn’t come up as one of the top lung-treating facilities, but it should be.” The round robin doubles tournament is open to all ages and skill levels. On Friday, May 18, women’s and men’s doubles competitions are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sea Colony. Mixed doubles matches will be played on Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be served both days. An after party with wine, hors d’oeuvres and music will take place Saturday, May 19 from 5:30-8 p.m. featuring local celebrity chef and musician Paul Cullen. The cost to participate is $100 per person, which includes an option to play both days, T-shirt, breakfast, lunch, prizes, winner’s award baskets, gift bags, and entrance to the party. Several sponsorship levels are available. The sponsorship deadline in order to be on the event T-shirt, is May 7. Donations are accepted year-round. Players can register for the tournament until a week before the event. For more information, visit www.loveforlungs.com.

Helping athletes get scholarships
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 4, 2018) Since its founding in 2014, the Delmarva Aces travel baseball program in Berlin has helped 51 athletes receive an academic or athletic scholarship. “We are a comprehensive youth baseball development organization,” president Dave Whigham said. “We train these kids from a young age, develop them as they play in tournaments, and get them into college. Some of these kids
start in the program at 8 years old and play all over the nation.” Most recently, Aidan Riley, a junior at St. Georges Technical High School in Middletown, Delaware, received a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Delaware. In 2017 alone, 19 seniors participating in the Delmarva Aces baseball program were offered $257,000 in scholarship money, Whigham said. “The kids who play in our Delmarva Aces program have done well in front of
scouts, been asked to move on and receive scholarship money,” Whigham said. High schoolers from James M. Bennett, Cape Henlopen, Stephen Decatur, Pocomoke and Snow Hill have played baseball for the program before receiving a scholarship and moving onto colleges such as North Carolina, Salisbury, Virginia Tech, Liberty, and Wesleyan. “There is nothing more rewarding than watching our players move on to See FIFTY Page 102
