Ocean City surges in nationwide poll of best boardwalks
Cop on leave after car strikes, kills man in crosswalk
Continued from Page 1 online once a day at 10best.com/awards/travel/bestboardwalk until the contest closes on May 23 at noon. Thursday morning, the Ocean City Boardwalk jumped from number 12 to number four on the leader board. Donna Abbott, Ocean City tourism and marketing director, said her department just learned about the reader’s poll on Monday, but she hopes as more people who hold Ocean City near and dear learn of the competition, their votes will result in higher list placement. “We do feel we have the best boardwalk in the country, if not the world,” she said. City Councilmember Dennis Dare said the Boardwalk provides the best people watching he could envision, along with ample dining options. “I can eat my way down the Boardwalk,” he said. During a recent trip to San Francisco, Dare said he was underwhelmed after navigating his way to the wellknown Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. He even needed a police officer to assist with directions. After returning to Ocean City and taking stock of the numerous restaurants and bars, Dare concluded that the Boardwalk compares favorably. “We’ve got something nicer than Fisherman’s Wharf,” he said. Besides the ability to do a “dinner crawl” along the boards, Dare also noted the availability of transportation. “You can take the tram up and back and see everything,” he said. “Some like to run it, some like to walk it, and others like me like to ride it.” Some might wonder how Ocean City’s Boardwalk was nominated for this recognition. USA Today reporters contacted someone who knows his boardwalks and asked what his recommendation might be. That person is Jim Lilliefors, now of Florida and founding editor of Ocean City Today and author of the 2006 book, “Amercia’s Boardwalks: From Coney Island to California” (Amazon).
Continued from Page 1 Alcohol was not a factor in the officer’s involvement in the collision, Richard said. “Patterson was taken to get a [blood alcohol content] test very shortly after the incident, and her level was 0.0. We will not know the BAC of the pedestrian for quite a few days,” she said. Patterson is now on paid administrative leave. OCPD has also opened an internal investigation of the crash, officials said. “The Ocean City Police Department expresses its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the victim after this tragic occurrence,” the police said in a statement released on the city’s website.

JUST VISITING Even people who don’t pay much attention to birds couldn’t help but notice the major influx of some colorful species this week, as migratory song birds by the hundreds dropped in for a midweek rest in the Ocean City area. Scores of rose-breasted grosbeaks (top left) descended on the resort, along with indigo buntings, some of them rain-soaked (top right) and the occasional white-eyed vireo. Most of these visitors were on their way to nesting grounds farther north and will be gone in a matter of days.

Public Works seeks custom trash collection truck for OC Design hopefully could hold garbage from 800 beach barrels in one trip
PHOTO COURTESY HAL ADKINS
Using images of other trash collection vehicles, Public Works Director Hal Adkins has pieced together a rough idea of what Ocean City needs to collect waste from the 800 barrels on the beach. The resort will be soliciting proposals for two custom-made trucks in September.
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Ocean City’s Public Works Department is shopping for a game-changer in the world of littoral litter: a custom-built beach trash collection truck. During April’s budget discussions, resort officials agreed to put $235,000 in the vehicle trust fund to replace the decades-old Broyhill Barrel Dumpers that collect the trash from 800 barrels on the beach every evening. Public Works Director Hal Adkins will be seeking proposals
from national vendors, who will then work with the city to design a vehicle that fits the resort’s needs. “Leading up to budget conversations, we met with a series of cab chassis and compactor manufacturers to discuss our dream truck. They gave us confirmation that it can be built,” he said. Ocean City’s “dream truck” would take the beach trash collection process far beyond what the current machines can do. The three Broyhills, purchased in the 1990s, store beach waste in a detachable box on the vehicle’s back. Each box is equipped with a metal plate to compress trash to create more space, but that feature has never worked as intended. “Everything we collect on the beach is paper products or candy wrappers. It’s lightweight. When the plate goes back after compressing, all the trash fluffs out,” Adkins said. In addition, the Broyhill boxes fill up quickly, which forces the trucks to pull off the beach to dump the waste. Public Works’ employees station empty containers at four different spots throughout the resort, so the vehicles can unload a full box and be refitted with a fresh one. In all, there are 21 containers. Through customization, the future

‘Dream vehicles’ will simplify process, replace old dumpers trash truck could have a compactor that holds trash from all 800 barrels along the 10-mile beach. Adkins envisions the body to be similar to the blue dumpster trucks that patrol the city, with a hydraulic cylinder compression plate – only larger. “If I put an appropriately-sized packer body on it, then it could start at the inlet and make it to the Delaware line without coming off the beach,” Adkins said. Even if the truck needed to dump the trash, it can easily make a quick stop at the Public Work’s tipping room. The larger body Adkins envisions also would eliminate clutter in the resort. Public Works has struggled for years to place those interim trash collection boxes in areas that won’t upset residents. Dumping the trash also proves to be a nuisance, since the boxes need to be emptied every morning, Adkins said. The current practice is to empty them with blue garbage trucks around 6-8 a.m.
“If you’re at the condominium, you’re staring at them [the boxes] in your backyard. You also hear a loud, crashing noise in the morning,” he said. “Looking at the logistics…it’s time to consider what’s next generation and how to work smarter.” The custom truck would run every evening and be operated by one employee. Adkins said that Public Works is seeking two custom vehicles, with one for backup in case the other breaks down. “The sun will come up tomorrow and people will expect a clean environment,” he said. “But when you look at the price of the [Broyhills], the cans, the maintenance, it’s still the wise thing to do.” The city bought the three Broyhill trucks, with one held as a backup, at $75,000 each. To replace each machine today, it would cost $459,000, Adkins said. Ocean City will solicit proposals this September. Officials anticipate awarding the bid late October to meet a May 1, 2017 deadline.

‘End-of-life’ system hot topic in ongoing schedule debate between city, union
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Sometime before an arbitrator observed that the aging communications system could be to blame for at least one delayed response by a firefighter/paramedic in Ocean City, municipal officials were already planning to replace its emergency services radio infrastructure. The City Council will consider vendors to upgrade the core radio network, which handles nearly every critical function in the resort, at its May 10 work session. Ocean City has been in the planning stages for this project for roughly three years, according to officials. “Joe Theobald [the emergency services director] has been negotiating with providers for the last six months,” City Manager Doug Miller said. “I anticipate it will cost about $5 million, and would be a two-year implementation process.” The current radio system was purchased in 1992 and was installed in 1993-1994. Because of manufacturing company mergers throughout the
decades, the technology has changed hands several times before the Harris Corporation acquired it. In December, Theobald told the City Council that Harris will cease providing parts or technical support for the product by July 2017, thus rendering the system “end-of-life.” In a presentation to city officials last winter, Theobald outlined several issues the resort faces with the soonto-be obsolete system. The radio system uses what is known as “EDACS protocol” on the 800 MHz spectrum, which sometimes experiences interference because of atmospheric conditions. The phenomenon is known as “tropospheric ducting,” which occurs in coastal regions, where temperature inversions create a channel that allows radio waves to travel longer distances and break into local signals. The outdated system is also far behind what other municipalities across the Mid-Atlantic region use.

take the next steps towards dismantling dispensaries operated by the Department of Liquor Control. The legislation, which passed unanimously in both chambers, will enable private retailers to add spirits to the shelves. Beginning on July 1, the county Board of License Commissioners will begin issuing the expanded Class A licenses at an annual cost of $4,500, and permit retail sales all week from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Carozza cosponsored the legislation. • SB 130 will allow the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners to issue a refillable draft beer container permit for bars and restaurants. The permits will cost $500 annually for Class B or D license holders and become effective beginning on July 1. • SB 182 requires rental dwelling units to have functional carbon monoxide alarms installed. Mathias was a primary sponsor of the bill that sets an April 1, 2018 deadline for compliance. Carbon monoxide alarms will be required in the immediate vicinity of each bedroom and every level of the unit. The requirement was already in place for newly constructed homes or hotel rooms, but rental properties had See FIRST Page 12
Equipment failure key point of firefighters’ delay defense Continued from Page 10 tional Association of Firefighters. The union maintains that faulty technology, not personnel shift schedules, is the problem after an arbitrator in a labor dispute said in an April 28 opinion that the city cannot prove that the equipment did not operate as expected. In that case, three firefighter/paramedics did not respond to an initial call for medical services last July, which resulted in a 10-minute delay. During the April 1 arbitration hearing regarding the city’s suspension of the only full-time member of that team, a recording of the first dispatch was found to contain seven minutes of silence. The re-alert contained a receipt of acknowledgement by the crew. The IAFF considers the ruling as evidence to support its assertion that shifts should remain 24 hours on duty and 72 hours off. The city’s new contract, which will go into effect on July 1, 2017, uses 12-hour shifts followed by two days off. The arbitrator Homer La Rue said that the system was “at end-of-life” and that the city “has the responsibility to maintain equipment … so that crews may response in a timely manner.” According to city staff, the communications system has been kept in proper working order over the last 24 years. “It serves well for its purpose.
Whatever hardware or software issues are immediately addressed. We have our own in-house technicians that work on it,” Theobald said. He added the interference from tropospheric ducting is only seasonal, and has a minimal effect on the channels. “It depends on the time of year and the weather. It doesn’t cause major issues,” he said. Even though the effect is sporadic, last winter Theobald recommended upgrading the existing system with the preferred 700 MHz to minimize the ducting. He also suggested the radio should include a P25 system, which several public safety departments across the Mid-Atlantic region use to communicate between jurisdictions. The infrastructure should also support an “OpenSky” SCADA system. This would broadcast in 900 MHz, which is used for transit commands for public works departments. If the City Council approves the recommended vendor next week, the resort could move to install the new hardware in police, fire, and public works vehicles in the fall and finish by the spring of 2017. Shortly afterwards, the core radio system at the 65th Street Public Safety Building would be refitted. The system could be ready before the summer of 2018.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) The 2016 Maryland Legislative Session, which ended on April 11, saw Gov. Larry Hogan sign 172 bills into law on April 26. Legislation of importance to Worcester County includes: • SB 287 redefines prosecution options related to false statements about destructive devices or toxic materials using a telephone or other electronic means. Authorities now have the option to press charges in the county where the threat originated or was received. Violators can be charged with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Restitution may also be required. Also minors found guilty may have driving privileges revoked. Delegate Mary Beth Carozza was a primary sponsor and Sen. Jim Mathias was a co-sponsor of the legislation, which Carozza proposed after a rash of bomb threats were called in to local schools from outside the county. • SB 967 will establish Class A beer, wine and liquor licenses in Worcester County. Mathias was a primary sponsor of the bill that allows the county to

Both Mathias and Carozza co-sponsored the bill. In 2013, a pilot internship program was established, which this legislation makes perpetual. By October 1, 2019, the Maryland Secretary of Human resources, in conjunction with human resources, must report to the Senate Budget and Taxation, the Senate Finance, and the House Appropriations Committee with data regarding the number of participants, the locations of internships, recruitment efforts and factors affecting participation. • SB 376 establishes state-funded Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools, which are commonly referred to as P-TECH schools. The in-
novative approach, which was co-developed by IBM, was first implemented in Brooklyn, New York in 2011. P-Tech schools are for students from grades 9 through 14 that blend high school and college course work with workplace experience. After graduating with either a high school diploma or associate’s degree, pupils can opt to continue their academic pursuits at a four-year college or university or enter the workforce. Although the first P-TECH schools are slated to open in Baltimore, the legislation requires an examination of other locales during the 2017 legislative session. • SB 132 addresses Ocean City’s representation on the Critical Area Commission for the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays. It authorizes the mayor of Ocean City to appoint a designee to serve in his absence on the commission, which consists of 29 voting members appointed by the governor. Established in 1984, the commission was created as part of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Protection Program, which seeks to minimize damage to water quality and wildlife habitats along the shorelines of the bay and its tributaries.

Roadwork leads to troubled Coastal Highway commute Lane closures, bridge work and ongoing repaving adds to bumpy ride for drivers
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 6, 2016) The State Highway Administration announced two projects that will impact travel on Coastal Highway early next week in addition to the repaving work at the north end of town already causing travel headaches. On Monday at 9 a.m., SHA spokesman Charlie Gischlar said, work will begin replacing streetlight lamps that have gone out since last year in the eastbound lanes of Route 90. The westbound lane of the important ingress to the resort will still be passable, and although priority will be given to emergency vehicles, other traffic will be restricted to single-direction travel managed by SHA personnel. “SHA expects to have the work completed by 3 p.m. Monday, weather permitting,” Gischlar said. On Tuesday beginning at 8 a.m. the eastbound right lane of Route 50 on the Harry Kelley bridge will be closed as work on the drawbridge tender house continues.
“Last week’s bad weather caused a delay in completing the repairs,” Gischlar said. The work involves repairing a sewer line. Gischlar said the crews expect to be finished by 4 p.m. Tuesday. Travelers and commuters on the mostly-completed section of the ongoing repaving project affecting Coastal Highway between 62nd Street and the Delaware line may have noticed the lane lines peeling from the resurfaced road. “The line striping that you see coming up is indeed temporary tape. Once final paving is completed, SHA will install permanent line striping and pavement markings,” Gischlar said. “These permanent markings involve thermal plastic and are actually embedded into the pavement so it won’t come loose like the temporary tape.” The repaving project is scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day, but recent statements by SHA officials make it clear that the project is ahead of schedule. However, the work is weather dependent and can change based on conditions. At press time, repaving work is nearly complete at the important junction of Route 90 and Coastal Highway at 62nd Street.

Ocean City Council grants building code grace period By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) For the next three months, contractors and architects can choose to have their site plans reviewed under the old building codes or the new regulations that Ocean City adopted in April. During Monday night’s session, the Ocean City Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that gives builders a 90-day period when plans can be reviewed under either code at the applicant’s choice. “This gives a bit of a grace period so that those plans can work their way through the system before we have to strictly enforce the code,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. The resort amended its housing standards on April 18 to integrate into them the updated international building code with minor exceptions. After a series of debates, the council upheld the longstanding requirement for 40 square feet per occupant in a bedroom for all residential properties. According to the 2015 International Building Code, the national standard for bedrooms is 50 square feet. The new requirements also allow property owners or licensed plumbers
to replace fixtures without a permit as long as the project did not alter major piping. While the council was discussing maximum occupancy and plumbing codes, contractors had submitted construction plans that used the older building requirements. After the building code ordinance was adopted, city staff cannot technically review the plans under the old code. Revising and re-drafting building plans already in the system to fit the new code could be expensive, according to city staff. Meehan pointed out that enforcing the new codes right out of the gate would ask contractors to make changes to plans almost at the last second. “There are some plans already in the works. There’s plans that were brought in two weeks ago, two months ago,” he said. “We missed that when the code was passed and it put people in a difficult situation.” Councilman Wayne Hartman moved to adopt the grace period immediately as an emergency ordinance. The motion passed with a 7-0 vote, with the mayor in agreement. “The council is certainly doing the right thing to correct this,” Meehan said. The grace period ends on July 15.

City and county raise issues with Assateague proposals Both municipalities worried regarding preferred option impacting inlet and jetties
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Both Worcester County and Ocean City governments have their concerns about the National Park Service’s proposed longterm general management plan for Assateague Island National Seashore. At issue for both is how the park service’s apparent preference for a moderately passive approach to the seashore’s management will affect the Ocean City Inlet and the commerce it supports. The park service has been updating its plan and environmental impact statement for the past four years to guide its response to issues such as the island’s natural westward migration and sea level rise. A draft version that outlines four possible approaches to those problems was released in February. At that time, the park service announced that of the four options it identified, it preferred letting nature take its course and to adapt to the circumstances rather than to try to
stand fast against nature by virtue of human intervention. It also set a May 1 deadline for the public and local governments to offer their opinions. The absence of a more aggressive program, however, could pose problems for the inlet, Ocean City Planning Director Bill Neville told the City Council on Monday, April 18. “The place where the island anchors to the jetty is something that deserves a little extra attention,” he said. Neville told the council that the park service’s conclusion slights long-term beach replenishment by the Army Corps of Engineers and specifies the island would evolve naturally with no new investments for dune fortifications. Neville said he had expressed that concern to Park Superintendent Deborah Darden and was told that omission might have been accidental. He also expressed concern about the plan’s lack of detail concerning efforts to maintain navigable waterways and ocean access. “There’s a lot going on and a lot of detail that the Army Corps knows about that is not in this thousandpage document,” he said.

Slowing Assateague’s gradual westward shift Continued from Page 16 Neville said the Army Corps has identified sand deposit points on the island and that it has halted the westward migration of the tip of Assateague next to the inlet. “The north end of the island has virtually stopped in terms of its progress to the west because of the replenishment of this sand through the Army Corps program,” he said. As a result, Ocean City is asking the park service to place more emphasis on the Army Corps’ involvement as a cooperating agency before it finalizes the document. With regard to dune maintenance, Neville said the barrier island shields the mainland from potentially devastating storms and protects vital infrastructure like the Ocean City Municipal Airport. Darden acknowledged the importance of maintaining stability at Assateague’s northern end when she addressed the Worcester County Commissioners at its April 19 meeting. “We want to consider what the public wants to see happen and we want to work with our partners,” she said. While noting the rate of island shift is challenging to determine, she said she appreciates the significant impact it could have on the resort.
“It’s very important to Ocean City,” she said. “They’ve talked to us extensively.” She also explained that the plan’s second alternative accounts for north end beach replenishment work. “It tries to keep everything where it is,” she said. “It’s not the preferred alternative, but is one to look at.” Still she stressed that public feedback indicates a preference for the third option. “We understand the island is moving westward and we have to move with it,” she said. The NPS preferred alternative would also add cost for users, as Darden noted that it would require establishing a new permit system for people who use the north end of the island. Revenue from the permits would help pay for facilities needed there. Commissioner Chip Bertino was less than receptive to that idea. “As someone who for 25 years has been on that beach, it would really tick me off if I had to pay a permit to do something I’ve been doing for 25 years,” he said. Responding to Commissioner Jim Bunting’s question concerning beach replenishment projects, Darden said the Army Corps is working to ascertain “how much sand we really need to put down there.”

County school budget top priority Parents, educators, social service agencies and area residents voice concerns
Q U A L I T Y • FA S H I O N S E R V I C E • VA L UE
MAY 6, 2016
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Impassioned speakers and listeners descended on Snow Hill High School for a county budget hearing on Tuesday night. Although the majority of the evening was filled with parents and educators stressing the importance of maintaining strong financial support for the school system, funding for social service agencies and other resident concerns were also discussed. Stockton resident Harold Scrimgeour suggested the county fully fund economic development to increase the tax base in lieu of the proposed increase in property tax rates. “This is the only department that creates an increase in the tax base,” he said. Other speakers promoted their operations as worthy of financial support. Jack Ferry, executive director of the Worcester County Development Center in Newark, said his agency helps people with intellectual disabilities secure and maintain employment. “It’s not just skills but also self
confidence,” he said. Steve Taylor, executive director of Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services in Berlin, said his agency provided more than 9,000 hours of mental health therapy for about 475 clients last year. He also said his group works to train advocates to assist high-risk youth from ages 6-14 pursue productive futures. Last year the counseling service also helped 669 families in crisis across Worcester County. Claudia Nagle, executive director of Diakonia in West Ocean City, said her agency is best known for emergency housing services but also offers support services for veterans and their families. “Last year we provided 24,941 bags of food to help individuals and families stretch their budget,” she said. Approximately 85 percent of those assisted by Diakonia are able to stabilize and find secure housing, Nagel said. Her agency hopes to use the county funding as match dollars to obtain grant funding. Leading a barrage of speakers supporting the Worcester Board of Education’s 2017 budget request was Superintendent Jerry Wilson, who credited the commissioner’s financial support for an exceptional school system.
“We believe we’ve submitted a reasonable budget request,” he said. Included in the board of education’s budget proposal are salary adjustments for the 1,100 employees who educate 6,600 students. “Many of us know people who have moved to Worcester County due to the excellent reputation of our school system,” he said. “We have the highest level of per pupil funding in the state.” By emphasizing smaller class sizes, Wilson said students have excelled and outpaced other Maryland school systems in standardized testing scores. Also Worcester County ranks first in the state for the percentage of students prepared to attend college or pursue a career path. “We employ the most highly educated workforce in the county,” he said. “The results are due to the hard work of teachers.” Wilson said increasing teacher’s compensation has received widespread support. “Parents surveyed see the connection between the education their children receive and assuring that educators are compensated fairly,” he said. Wilson also said the budget request includes funds to purchase seven new school buses and $200,000 for two instructional softSee REQUESTS Page 22

Lending some parental perspective was Berlin resident Doug Andrews, who said student’s academic abilities have resulted from highly qualified teachers, smaller class sizes and access to technology. “This has been a winning combination,” he said. He voiced concerns that without highly competitive salaries, recruiting and retaining the best and brightest educators may be difficult.
“Our leaders and residents don’t just strive for average,” he said. “We have higher standards.” Lending a voice outside the education realm was Ocean City’s Vince Gisriel who wondered about the impact of the ever-expanding county budget and the proposal to increase property tax rates. “For the 30 years I’ve lived in Worcester County I’ve felt blessed to live in a county that’s been fiscally conservative for the most part,” he said. “A lot of people in my community and across the county are on fixed incomes.” Scrimgeour spoke again, reiterating his preference against raising property tax rates. “A more palatable option is increasing the tax base,” he said. “We’re letting the teachers down by not providing an environment where the students can flourish.”

Tainted chicken impact in Worcester limited Schools destroy product, dine-in restaurants unlikely to be affected by bad batch
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 6, 2016) The possibility of a widespread influx of contaminated chicken into the resort’s food supply chain is limited, according to a statement from one of the area’s chief food suppliers. Nehl Horton, senior vice president of Houston-based Sysco, which supplies the local marketplace with food for restaurants, institutions and healthcare facilities, confirmed via email that only one shore client was affected by the recall. “Yes, the one client that received impacted Pilgrim’s Pride product
David H. Schiff, D.D.S. Dayna R. Schiff, R.D.H.
Family Dentistry
was in the education segment,” Horton wrote. Carrie Sterrs, Worcester schools spokeswoman, confirmed the schools are a client of Sysco. A limited recall of Pilgrim’s Pride products was first ordered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on April 7 and affected only a single item in the Gold Kist Farms line. Two weeks ago, the recall was expanded to more than 20 products in the Gold Kist Farms and Sweet Georgia Brand product lines. The USDA categorized the recall as Class 1, defined as “a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” These products are generally targeted at large-scale food operations, but Pilgrim’s Pride does serve as a
supplier to several fast food restaurants in the area. Local restaurants generally use fresh chicken, said Susan Jones, executive director of the part of the Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. The Worcester County Commission on Aging, which provides Meals on Wheel services to seniors, gets its supplies from the Salisbury location of Maintaining Active Citizens Inc. Operations Director of the MAC Center, Larry Robinson, said it uses no processed chicken or patties of any kind in its offerings. “We monitor recalls very closely and the food service people do their best. We get all the notices and we’re as vigilant as we possibly can be,” he said. Other county departments, such
as the Worcester County Jail and the Recreation and Parks department, were also unaffected, according to county spokeswoman Kim Moses. Atlantic General Hospital, via spokeswoman Sarah Yonker, confirmed it was unaffected by the recall as well. “Following the recall, all impacted products were destroyed and disposed of in compliance with set procedures. Each school cafeteria is to submit the required paperwork to the district Food Services office by the end of this week,” Sterrs said. Until that paperwork is received, Sterrs said, she is unable to provide information on the volume of affected products the schools had purchased or the cost of the destroyed or disposed of products.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) A beached whale has arrived on Ocean City’s shores weeks ahead of schedule. The new play structure, Wally the Whale, which consists of a whale head and separate tail to make the structure look like it’s surfacing from the sand, was scheduled for installation by May 15. But after the Public Works Department made some room on the beach, the whale was placed near Somerset Street on April 28. “We had to wait for the beach to be graded for the summer,” Parks Superintendent Calvin Ginnavan said. “In the winter, there’s piles of sand and it was not level enough to put the whale on. Once Public Works graded the beach, we were good to go.” When officials considered the structure last winter, its low-maintenance nature appealed to the City Council. Right out of the gate, only five people was needed for the uncomplicated installation. “We could have done it with less. The whale head is approximately nine feet tall. The tail is smaller. It’s light enough so that two or three men can pick up a piece. It wasn’t a big ordeal,” Ginnavan said. That light weight, however, could make the fiberglass structure a projec-
tile in a storm so it is anchored to two concrete footings. “There’s 16 bolts to keep the head in place and eight for the tail. There’s not a whole lot to it,” Ginnavan said. According to state restrictions, structures must be disassembled in four hours in the event of an oncoming storm and at the end of the season. Unlike the polymer-concrete dinosaur near Fourth Street, Wally will be stored by Public Works in the offseason and during extreme weather. Aside from the low-effort in cleaning and storing it, city officials hope the structure provides an Instagram “hotspot” where people would want to visit and photograph. The whale also has barnacles on its head so children can climb on it. “We are very pleased to be able to offer a new beach amenity for our residents and visitors,” said city Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito. “This was a team effort between many departments. We are, collectively, hopeful that Wally provides the community with much enjoyment for many summers to come.” The Recreation and Parks Department will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 11 at 11 a.m. to welcome Wally. The ceremony is open to the public.

Political groups endorse process, for now Party organizations flock to primary polls, provide info on candidates’ positions
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Thousands of Worcester County voters might have a clear idea on who should be the next president, but three local political organizations stay out of that discussion until the general election campaign begins. On April 26, registered Democrats and Republicans were asked to narrow the field not only for the five presidential candidates, but also for 24 people running for an open senate seat. Instead of backing a contender among the throng, political groups supported the primary election itself. “It’s too early to endorse just one,” Thomas Butler, the president of the Democratic Club of Worcester County, said at the time. “What we did instead is station volunteers at most of the polling stations across the county, to answer whatever questions people may have about the candidates.” In all, there were 20 polling stations across Worcester. The Democratic Club had roughly 18 volunteers spread out at most of them, handing out pamphlets on their candidates. Its counterpart, the Republican Women of Worcester County, took the same approach. “We have a presence at the polls with information sheets on the candidates. We’re there to relay facts and answer questions to the best of our ability,” said Loretta Spinuzza, secretary of the Republican Women of Worcester County.

In the weeks leading up to the primary, the political groups concentrated on getting out the vote. “Three weeks ago, I met with some young individuals at the West Ocean City Bottle Shop and encouraged them to come out,” said Democratic Women of Worcester County president Em Hench. “I told them, ‘it’s too important, and no smart person should stay home.’” But getting people out to vote in the primary is only the half the battle. According to political group members, their volunteering sometimes begins months before the general election. “We react to the [Democratic] Central Committee’s needs. If they need people after the primaries, making calls or mailing information out, we ask for volunteers in the group,”
Hench said. Beyond the election season, most political groups remain active yearround, by donating to community nonprofits or keeping members informed of the policies that affect the area. The Republican Women often write letters and sign petitions on their opinions on what’s best for Worcester. They also invite speakers to their monthly luncheons. “Recently, we had Michael D. Smigiel Sr. and Sean Jackson [who both ran for the House of Representatives] speak,” Spinuzza said. The Democratic Club and the Democratic Women also have speakers ranging from political figures and local experts on issues such as the environment and immigration. While these organizations are on different ends of the philosophical
spectrum, they all serve as a forum for ideas on Worcester County’s political landscape. “We speak to the county as a community to protect a fair and free society and fundamental liberties for all,” Hench said. If interested in joining a community organization that supports a particular party, visit these websites: Republican Women of Worcester: www.gopwomenofworcester.com Democratic Club of Worcester County: www.worcestercountydemsmd.org Democratic Women of Worcester: dwcofworcestercounty.wordpress.com All meetings are held once a month.

Foster care, in practice, temporary respite
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Sometimes a temporary break can avoid a permanent separation. To honor May as National Foster Care Month, and commend the 2016 Worcester County Foster Parents of the Year, the County Commissioners issued two proclamations at its meeting on Tuesday. Jami Truitt, a resource home worker with the Worcester County Department of Social Services, was on hand to share background on the
foster care system. “What a lot of people don’t realize is our first goal with foster care is reunification,” she said. “Even though the children had to be removed, we hope that’s a temporary thing.” By working to assist families address whatever issues caused the removal of children, Truitt says her agency hopes to provide long-term solutions. “It’s really a temporary reprieve and break for everyone, and a safe place for the children to stay,” she said.

Also honored were Katrina and Tracy Mason, who were named the 2016 Worcester Forster Parents of the Year. Describing it as a “calling,” Katrina Mason said the couple’s participation has been life enriching. “It feels like something we were made to do and we love it,” she said. “They’ve changed our lives and hopefully we can change theirs for the better. It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to do this for these children.” Commissioner Diana Purnell praised the work of social services and specifically families like the Masons. “You play such an important role in the lives of our children,” she said. “Keeping them safe and keeping them sound.” She noted nothing is as rewarding
as loving a child and helping them to grow. Truitt was appreciative for the recognition and hopes more families can open their heart to a child in need. “This will help us continue to put the word out there that foster care is a need for Worcester County,” she said. There will be two foster parenting informational sessions sponsored by the Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset Departments of Social Services this month. The first will be held on May 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Main Street Enchanted tea Room, 7 South Main St., Berlin. The second takes place on May 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, 1324 Belmont Ave. #410, Salisbury. For more information and to RSVP call 410-713-3959.

Health department teaches use of life-saving Naloxone
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 6, 2016) Looking for new ways to address the spread of illegal opioid use, which, has contributed to an increase in heroin and other opioid overdoses, the Worcester County Health Department recently began conducting a series of classes on how to administer the life-saving drug, Naloxone. Kim Poole, a behavioral health and addictions program worker with the Worcester County Health Department, explained the process during a training session at the Ocean Pines Library last Wednesday. She said overdose-related fatalities have surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of “injury-related accidental death” in the U.S., averaging 105 each day. Naloxone is used to treat those overdoses by reversing the effects of using harmful amounts of opioids. “The opiate receptors in the body have a higher affinity [for naloxone]. They love naloxone more than they love heroin,” she said. “Basically, heroin is going to get knocked off the receptors and the naloxone is going to take hold, so it’s going to then reverse the overdose situation.” Opioids can reattach, however, meaning repeated naloxone doses may have to be given. “The person can then go downhill again. That’s why it’s important to stay with someone, and to have that second dose available,” she said. Poole said overdoses occur when an excessive amount of an opioid – alone or mixed with another substance – overwhelms the body and shuts down the respiratory system. “They’re not moving oxygen around in the body … and this is going to affect all of the vital organs,” she said. “Brain damage, without oxygen, can occur in as little as fourto-six minutes. That’s why it’s so imSee INSTRUCTIONAL Page 30

Instructional class could save lives of heroin OD victims Continued from Page 29 portant to act quickly.” Signs of an overdose can include shallow breathing or loud snoring or gurgling noises, the body becoming limp or unresponsive, or pale, gray or clammy skin – or lips and fingertips that turn blue – from decreased circulation. If someone is overdosing from an opioid, Poole said a person should try to rouse and stimulate him or her by shaking their shoulders and yelling until they regain consciousness. Next, call 911 and tell the operator where you are, what you observed about the person, what substance the person used and – if you have given them naloxone – how much the dose was. Further resuscitation and rescue breathing could also be required. Poole said that naloxone is safe for children and pregnant women and has no potential for abuse. She said the nasal version – several that work through injection are also available, but are generally more expensive – works in about one-tothree minutes. If breathing is not restored in two-to-three minutes, it’s time for a second dose. Stay with the person until the EMS arrives, and follow the 911 dispatcher’s instructions, she said. “They’re very good at walking you through it if you’re feeling panicked,” Poole said. “You don’t want to give up. You want to keep on going until either 911 gets there, or they start to wake up.” Naloxone training classes are held every fourth Wednesday at the Ocean Pines Library, and every second and fourth Friday of the month at the Snow Hill Health Department. Additional classes can be arranged by request. The sessions include demonstrations with a mannequin, and finish with a naloxone certification, and a free voucher for the drug. Poole said the meetings were informal, and did not require a test to pass. “Everyone is here for a different reason – we’re just glad you’re here,” she said. “With the health department, we’re about prevention, but there’s also the side of the addict. The addict is living with this every day and using, and the addict gets to a point where they decide whatever it is that’s going to make them seek treatment and go into recovery. “It’s different for every person, and until that happens, what can you do? We can make sure that we’re trained in order to be able to give naloxone when it’s necessary, to maybe help save that person’s life … so that they may then have a chance to actually turn their life around,” Poole added. For more information, or to register, call 410-213-0202.

Police said a search of the vehicle produced a glass pipe, a jar of marijuana, a large fighting knife, a folding knife and a collapsible twisted blade fighting sword. Myers was arrested and charged with possessing paraphernalia and three weapons charges.
Criminal Initiative State police from the Berlin barrack, deputies from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department and members of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team performed a criminal initiative in Worcester County last Friday, when multiple traffic stops took place for speeding, seatbelt violations and distracted driving. In addition, two controlled dangerous substance arrests were made for heroin possession, one civil citation was given
out for possession of marijuana under 10 grams and one person was arrested for having an open warrant. According to the report, Randy Carver, 58, of Berlin and Joshua Poper, 31, of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, were criminally charged with possession of heroin and paraphernalia. Kamrin Muscalli, 20, of Towson was given a civil citation for marijuana possession and Thomas Cooper, 24, of Willards was served a warrant for failing to appear in court and taken before the district court commissioner, where he was held on $5,575 bond, the report said.

Agreement reached between casino and union employees By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) After seven months of negotiations between the Casino at Ocean Downs and about 100 union employees, an agreement was reached last week that will apply until the contracts end in October 2017. “It is very exciting the contract is settled,” said lead organizer of UNITE HERE local 7, Mishy Leiblum. “We appreciate the support and want to thank the local community.” Although wage increases will stay at three percent each year, employees did receive a significant increase to their health savings accounts and the owner will pay casino workers for their 30-
minute meal break each day in addition to recognizing Martin Luther King Day as a paid holiday. Since Ocean Downs opened in 2011, the casino has reported an increase in gaming revenue every year to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, Leiblum said. Ocean Downs reported a 15 percent increase in revenue for December 2015 over December 2014, and showed increases of 10.1 percent and 17.1 percent in January and February, respectively, from the previous years, she added. In March, the casino generated $4,471,371 from slot machines, which was a revenue increase by $448,655, or 11.2 percent, from March 2015.

Rebecca and Leighton Moore cut the ribbon on their namesake Child and Adolescent Outpatient clinic at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury last week. The clinic will specialize in mental health treatment.
PRMC dedicates outpatient clinic in Salisbury to Moores By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 6, 2016) Peninsula Regional Medical Center last Thursday opened a new outpatient clinic geared to providing behavioral health services to children and adolescents and dedicated the facility to Seacrets owner Leighton Moore, and his wife, Rebecca. “Of all the things I’ve raised money for, this was the easiest. Everybody knows someone either in
their family or in a friend’s family [who] knows the horror of mental illness in children,” Leighton Moore said. “It’s a silent destructor.” The need for such a facility emerged from a recent comprehensive needs analysis performed by the hospital, Dr. Stephen Dixon, executive director of behavioral health at PRMC, said. “We’re focusing on what we call ‘population health,’ which is simply See FACILITY Page 34

Facility focuses on adolescent mental health Continued from Page 33 improving the health of a population from birth to death,” Dixon said. Through identifying the needs of population in the area, gaps were discovered, Dixon said, and the new facility is one of the steps taken to provide the needed services on the lower shore. “We’ve been forcing the issue. The need is there, but the space is wanting. There’s just no space for adolescent psychological care. Disease causes problems not only for the person but for the community — drop-
ping out of school for example,” Moore said. “We needed it built in this area. Before, you had to take your kids to Cambridge or the Baltimore-Washington area to get them talked to.” In Cambridge, the facility treating children and adolescents is Adventist HealthCare Behavioral Health and Wellness Services, which is a partner in the Rebecca and Leighton Moore child and Adolescent Outpatient Behavioral Health Unit. “What we know of behavioral health is if these issues are ad-
dressed, it prevents more significant or costly treatments,” Dixon said. “Part of the clinic will have adult services, and we’re actively recruiting practitioners to serve. The whole goal, really, is to provide a comprehensive network of care in the community and outside a hospital if possible, because it’s more cost effective.” The next step, Moore said, would be to focus on inpatient care. “Right now, there’s no funding or directive for inpatient care, but we’re hopefully getting there. It’s been 10-

11 years, and we’ve done a relatively good job. I think I’m going to have to raise multiple millions to get inpatient care,” Moore said. The unit offers outpatient therapeutic behavioral health services, including individual therapy and medication management, for children and adolescents. The clinical team provides a customized treatment plan designed to help patients successfully manage their illness and maintain optimal activity at home, work, or school.

Bank of Ocean City honors 100 years with celebrations
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) To commemorate its 100th year in the resort town, Bank of Ocean City will be hosting celebrations at each of its seven branches in May and September. “We are celebrating a century of service,” Bank of OC Vice President Earl Conley, said. “We are relationship banking for the community. When you walk in the door, the tellers know your name and we meet customers at their place of business.” Every Tuesday this month, customers can check out Bank of Ocean City locations for food, desserts, flowers and Bank of Ocean City goodies such as koozies, pens and pads of paper. In addition, visitors have the opportunity to fill out a form and place it into registration boxes located at each bank for the chance to win a Weber tabletop grill, Yeti cooler, two large Yeti cups and a patio set. This Tuesday, the celebration will take place in West Ocean City, followed by the 122nd Street location on May 17. The bank will finish up festivities on May 24 at their Dorchester Street location. New prizes for the September celebrations will be announced at the end of May. Look forward to commemorating the Bank of Ocean City’s 100th year at its Ocean Pines party on Sept. 13, Berlin
celebration on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27 at its new location in Fenwick Island. The Bank of Ocean City opened its doors in 1916, when the closest bank was in Berlin for local fisherman and the only way to reach the island was by boat or train. “Local gentlemen decided to open a bank on Dorchester Street and Baltimore Avenue. That way, fisherman who were paid in Ocean City didn’t have to make it to Berlin for deposits or checking,” Conley said. “When the Ocean City economy started to grow, new locations started opening up.” In 1973, the original 59th Street location opened followed by West Ocean City in 1976, which received its main structure in 1982 and is home to its main office today. The 122nd Street location opened in 1990. By 1997, the Bank of Ocean City expanded into Ocean Pines and opened up a Berlin bank in 2007. The original 59th Street bank was demolished in 2012 and reopened in May of 2013. A new branch in Fenwick Island, Delaware is currently being constructed and is slated to open in August or September. “There is a need for community banks because most big banks are black and white,” Conley said. “There is no outside the box, flexibility with credit scores and leniency with payments [at big banks].

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 6, 2016) The USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan, more commonly referred to as the USDA loan, has announced an upcoming change in their fee structure that could really help many homebuyers. USDA has announced a reduction in their upfront mortgage insurance fee from the current 2.75 percent to 1.0 percent. Additionally, they are reducing their monthly mortgage insurance rate (PMI) from .50 percent to .35 percent. These changes are set to take effect in USDA’s fiscal year 2017, and will be in effect for buyers as of Oct. 1. The USDA loan is a popular 100-percent financing program that assists approved lenders in providing low- and moderate-income households the opportunity to own adequate, modest, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings as their primary residence in eligible rural areas. Applicants must meet the following criteria: • Meet income eligibility • Agree to personally occupy the dwelling as their primary residence • Be a U.S. Citizen, U.S. noncitizen national or qualified alien • Demonstrate the willingness to meet credit obligations in a timely manner • Purchase a property that meets all program criteria Local lender Rod Flowers, a senior loan officer with Prime Lending in Salisbury, commented about the upcoming change. “Since available cash is the biggest obstacle to buying real estate, this 100 percent financing program is obviously the easiest path for potential homeowners,” he said. “Not only is there no down payment required, but the seller is allowed to pay all of the buyer’s closing costs and prepaids. Also, the rate is the lowest of any 30-year fixed rate, and See MOST Page 40

Continued from Page 39 now they have reduced the mortgage insurance to the cheapest of any mortgage program in the country.� The majority of properties in Worcester County are eligible, except for the 21842 zip code. Many Wicomico county properties are eligible, as well as all of Sussex county properties. The maximum household income limit for households with one-to-four persons in Worcester and Wicomico counties is $96,150. To check location and income eligibility for the USDA loan, visit www.eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov. These changes are quite significant financially for homebuyers. Below is an example of savings provided by
Rod Flowers: • Sales Price = $200,000 • Current USDA loan amount calculation = $205,500 (sales price plus 2.75 percent) • Revised loan amount calculation as of Oct. 1 = $202,000 (sales price plus 1 percent) • Current monthly mortgage insurance calculation = $83.33/month • Revised monthly mortgage insurance calculation as of Oct. 1 = $58.33/month These combined savings equate to a $6000 increase for a homebuyer’s purchase power. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed REALTOR/Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Nick’s Original House of Ribs continues resort traditions Continued from Page 40 a month ago, and set to work on expanding and improving the foundation already in place. “The food is fabulous. I can add to the menu, but I can’t subtract,” he said. “We have employees prepping ribs and making dough at 8 a.m. The crab cakes, steaks and seafood are awesome.” The restaurant has “the art of cooking ribs down to a science,” serving savory, delicious and fall-off-the bone barbecue, he said. Heise also owns three Pizza Tugos locations in Ocean City and intends to expand its craft beer programs to Nick’s Original House of Ribs. In addition, there are plans to add live music. “I have a great crew to help take on challenges like this,” Heise said. “I can’t do it all myself. You also need a spectacular staff.” Along with a strong tradition and great food, Heise said he loves the location of the restaurant. The 144th Street staple can seat 400 people, which is about the same number as Pizza Tugos in West Ocean City. Diners have the option to sit outside on the
patio, or upstairs overlooking the restaurant and bar area. “This location called its attention to us with a great menu and its high volume,” Heise said. “The customer pays everyone and we will always be successful if we never forget that.” Nick Idoni, the original owner, started out cooking at J.R. Ribs while Heise was a dishwasher at Tony’s Pizza. They both opened their uptown Ocean City restaurants in 1983. “I feel pretty lucky to be able to take this spot over,” Heise said. “Nick would be excited someone cares about it as much as he did. After all, this was his baby.” Nick’s Original House of Ribs is open until 10 p.m. on the weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday. After Memorial Day, it will be open from noon to 2 a.m. every day. “It is one of the prettiest restaurants in Ocean City, with the ability to seat small or large parties, but still feel intimate,” Heise said. “The bar has a pub feel to it, which is not replicated in this day and age.” For more information, call the restaurant and bar at 410-250-1984.

Longtime Coastal Hospice volunteer manager resigns
(May 6, 2016) After more than 10 years on the job, Judy Hunt-Harris, manager of Coastal Hospice’s volunteer services, is resigning to move closer to family in North Carolina. Stepping into her shoes is Sally Rankin, current Coastal Hospice patient care volunteer and state of Maryland employee. The transition will take place the first week of May. The manager of volunteer services recruits, trains and coordinates the more than 280 volunteers who support the mission of Coastal Hospice. Volunteers fulfill the requests of Coastal Hospice patients and their families, perform support and office work, and staff the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop in Berlin. Medicare requires that 5 percent of all hospice services be delivered by volunteers, but Coastal Hospice’s rate is consistently 11 percent or higher. “The volunteer force supports Coastal Hospice’s mission in the most kind and gentle way,” Hunt-Harris said. “They are not here for money or fame. They are non-judgmental and open their hearts and love to our patients and their families.” The requests for help from Coastal Hospice patients and families are diverse and very personal. “We go shopping, hold a patient’s hand, listen to life stories, take care of
their dog, go to the bank, take them to the hairdresser,” she said. “Whatever their needs and wishes are, we try to do it.” Hunt-Harris said her years at Coastal Hospice have been some of the most rewarding of her life. “The hugs I get around town when I’m wearing my Coastal Hospice ID… that’s worth more than anything,” she said. “I know I made a difference in not only the patient’s life, but also in the family’s. End-of-life is not a daily occurrence. There are no do-overs.” Rankin, who lives in Salisbury with her husband, was administrator for the state’s 1st Judicial Circuit for eight years. Her background includes human resources experience with the state judiciary in Annapolis and in the healthcare, financial services and education fields. She has also been a Coastal Hospice patient care volunteer for three years. “Patient care with hospice was something that really touched me,” Rankin said. “I’m at the time in life where mission and purpose are important to me.” Rankin’s goal is to keep the volunteer standards high and preserve the reputation of Coastal Hospice. “As volunteers, we feel honored to be part of a special time in someone’s life and the people who care for

them,” she said. “I’m a person of faith, and hospice work has strengthened that. There’s nothing like the expression of joy on the face of a patient or caregiver; the people are so affected by a volunteer’s presence. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.” 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 and serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties.

Purchaser waives and releases the Released Parties from any and all claims Purchaser or its successors and assigns may have now or in the future may have relating to the condition of the properties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this provision was a negotiated part of the Memorandum of Purchase and serves as an essential component of consideration for the same. The parties specifically acknowledge and agree that this clause bars all claims by Purchaser against Released Parties, arising from the condition of or releases from the properties pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensations and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and all other actions pursuant to federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations for any environmental condition of or releases from the properties. Further, Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Released Parties for any liability the Released Parties may have to any third party for an environmental condition of the properties. Notwithstanding the parties’ intent that this clause bars all such claims, should a court of competent jurisdiction deem otherwise, Purchaser agrees that the presence of this clause should serve as the overwhelming, primary factor in any equitable apportionment of response costs under applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations.” Note: The information contained herein was obtained from sources deemed to be reliable, but is offered for information purposes only.

The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team poses for a photo after capturing its seventh consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference title, with a 20-6 win over Gunston Day, Monday.
Worcester Prep boys’ lax team ESIAC champs
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team captured its seventh consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship on Monday, with a 20-6 victory over the Gunston Day Herons in Berlin. “It’s awesome. It’s rewarding after a hard-fought year [and] to bring home another championship is always great,” said Prep senior captain Wyatt Richins, who led the team with six goals and two assists. “[In your] senior year, you always try to help your team the best way you can. I was just trying to do that like every other game.” The Mallards led 8-1 at the end of the first quarter and 16-1 at halftime. After three quarters, the Prep team was ahead 20-3. Sophomore Sam Cantello chipped in with four goals and three assists. Tucker Brown, a sophomore, added three goals. Junior Patrick Petrera had two goals and two assists. Senior Jason Cook, junior Seth Lewis and freshmen Dakin Moore, Jay Gosnear and Michael Curtis scored one goal each. Senior captain Ross Dickerson won 18 of the 21 face-offs he took. He also scooped up 12 ground balls. Prep senior captain Wade Walter stopped three Gunston shots in the first half. Junior Rayne Parker made two saves in the third quarter and sophomore Jack Fager recorded three saves in the fourth quarter. “I thought we played well. We took care of business and now we’ve got to get ready for Wednesday,” Prep Coach
Scott Mumford
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Worcester Prep sophomore Sam Cantello has possession of the ball during Monday’s ESIAC championship game against Gunston. He had four goals and three assists in Worcester’s 20-6 victory.
Kevin Gates said after the game. Monday’s match was not only the ESIAC championship, but also the Metro Independent Lacrosse League quarterfinals. Worcester traveled to Huntingtown, Maryland on Wednesday to battle the Calverton Cougars in the MILL semifinal round. The Mallards lost the game, 12-4. “We came out flat. We didn’t have any life,” Gates said as Calverton led 40 in the first quarter. Trailing 6-3 at halftime, Gates said it looked like the Mallards were starting to turn things around, but they just couldn’t get anything going on offense, he added. “It’s disappointing. It stings pretty hard…but, it just doesn’t go your way sometimes,” Gates said. “This is a
great group of kids and I didn’t want to see it end.” Richins netted two of Worcester’s four goals. Brown scored one and junior Trent Marshall had the other goal. Walter recorded nine saves. Worcester finished the season with a 13-4 record. “It was a great year. This was one of my favorite teams of all time,” Gates said. The team will lose seven seniors – a group that means a lot to Gates – to graduation. “The finality of that makes it tough. It’s sad to think about losing them,” he said. “I love them and I didn’t want [the season] to end. It’s a special group. It’s hard to replace a group like that. I wish I could have more time with them.”
WP boys’ lax team Assistant Coach Mumford retiring
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) Minutes before the Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team claimed its seventh consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title on Monday, several players opened the large water cooler and dumped it on Assistant Coach Scott Mumford. It was his final home game before stepping down as assistant coach after being with the lacrosse program since 1996. “I didn’t think I would do it this long, but I couldn’t get away from it,” he said. “There was always a group of kids I want to see graduate, then another batch of kids that I want to see graduate and see them all the way though.

Worcester Prep junior Seth Lewis jumps high in the air while taking a shot during Monday’s Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference title game against Gunston in Berlin. He scored one goal in Worcester’s 20-6 victory.
Mumford says coaching lax at WP ‘extremely rewarding’ Continued from Page 62 “This senior class I kind of had penciled in; this would be a good way to go out with this group,” he continued. “The team, yes, but these seniors are some of the best kids I’ve ever coached.” Mumford attended Worcester Prep from kindergarten through 12th grade and played lacrosse for the school (1988-91). He went to Catawba College in North Carolina, where he was one of the original members of the Division II lacrosse program. He played goalie for the school from 1994-95. After college, when he came back to the area and stopped by Worcester to catch a spring game, then-Athletic Director Matt O’Hare asked Mumford if he wanted to coach. His answer was “absolutely.” “I honestly thought I’d do it for a few years because I have a seasonal restaurant [Warren’s Station, Fenwick Island, Delaware] and this time of year gets really difficult,” he said. “Worcester’s always been a special place for me, but it’s all about the kids. Just watching them grow is so rewarding. “I just loved building the relationships in coaching because now I have former players that I consider lifelong friends,” he added. Mumford told Head Coach Kevin Gates in the fall that this spring lacrosse season would be his last. “It was one of the hardest things, having to sit down with Coach Gates and tell him that,” he said. “I love that guy, he’s like a brother to me. We have become lifelong friends. We hit it off from the start.” Gates feels the same way about
Mumford. The two have worked together since 2003. “What can I say about Jeffrey Scott Mumford? Every day I have been with Scott for the last 14 years, I have felt like a little kid waking up on Christmas morning, running out of bed to open my presents, with my little foot pajamas,” Gates said. “It has been an adventure. Little did I know that when I got the job here, it would come with meeting one of the finest people to walk this earth. I truly mean that, from the bottom of my heart.” Mumford said coaching has been extremely rewarding. “I love doing it, but it was just hard for me to keep doing it,” he said. “It was hard for me to step away. I just knew now – my daughter’s 7 and she’s active swimming, and with a business – I just need to dive all in.” Gates said Mumford is not only a great coach, he is also a great father, husband and family man. He has not only made Gates’ life better, but he would do anything for his lacrosse players. “He really is a champion for these guys. He coaches them while they are here, but he’s a friend to them for life,” he said. “I have said before, we have been fortunate to have a lot of success here as a program and I have been fortunate to win some coaching awards along the way, but quite simply, they don’t happen without Scott. “His title has been the associate head coach, but more importantly, he has been one of the best friends any man could have,” Gates continued. “I love the guy and I don’t know what I’m gonna do without him.”
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) The Stephen Decatur track and field teams used Tuesday’s seven-school meet in Salisbury to prepare for the Bayside Conference championship, held two days later in Cambridge. “We did about what I expected. We didn’t really run any relay teams because we have our Bayside championships Thursday. We focused mainly on individual events,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said Wednesday. “Most athletes [participating in Baysides] did one or maybe two events [during Tuesday’s meet]. The goal wasn’t really to win this meet, but to be prepared for Baysides.” James M. Bennett won the girls’ competition with 118.5 points. Decatur finished close behind with 118 points. Snow Hill took third with 91.5 points. Lady Seahawks who earned victories in their individual events were juniors Claire Billings (400-meter run, 1:05.7), Peyton Dunham (3,200-meter race, 13:42.8) and Madison Jones (200-meter dash, 27.9 seconds). Senior Emily Cook (100-meter hurdles, 16.8 seconds; 300-meter hurdles, 53.9 seconds), junior Savannah Schultz (800-meter run, 2:46.6), soph-
omore Melea Saunders (high jump, 4 feet 4 inches), and freshmen Adriana Serpe (triple jump, 28 feet 5 inches) and Dana Kim (pole vault, 7 feet) finished in second place in their events. Seniors Alison Alvarado (1,600meter race, 6:05.7), Katie Hofman (400-meter run, 1:09.9) and Jones (100-meter dash, 13.5 seconds) came in third place in their individual events. Snow Hill won the boys’ competition with 148.33 points. Parkside was second with 105 points, followed by Bennett (103) and Decatur (96.33). Decatur athletes who won their individual events were senior Tyrese Milbourne (400-meter run, 53.2 seconds), juniors John Curtis (110-meter hurdles, 18.4 seconds; 300-meter hurdles, 46.2 seconds) and Gavin Payne (shot put, 37 feet 10 inches; discus, 105 feet 1 inch) and sophomores Jack Reimer (3,200-meter race, 11:10.7) and Spencer Carbaugh (triple jump, 30 feet 8 inches). Junior Cameron James took second in the 1,600-meter race, 5:04.5, and sophomore Cade Solito finished third in the 3,200-meter event (11:28.5). Decatur was scheduled to compete in the Bayside Conference championship meet yesterday, Thursday.

forth battle that went into a tiebreaker set. Romberger won the tiebreaker, 74. Junior Josh Domingo (8-0), seniors Reed Watson (8-3) and Deep Patel (8-2) and freshman Jonathan Petito (8-5) earned victories at second through fifth singles, respectively. Juniors Brennan Holloway and Alex Reznikov teamed up for first doubles and came out on top, 8-2. Juniors Ethan Janson and Andrew Hoffman took their second doubles match, 8-3. “They played great. We’re more comfortable on our home court and that showed,” said Decatur Coach Steve Berquist. “We’ve been getting better and better. Everyone’s pretty much on the top of their game right now.” Senior captain Katie Withers (8-2), sophomore Laila Mirza (8-4), senior Marina Wheeler (8-2) and junior Kat Harrell (8-2) earned victories for the Lady Seahawks at first through fourth singles, respectively. Wicomico forfeited the fifth singles match to Decatur sophomore Francesca Clubb. Juniors Megan McConnell and Jenna Morlock shut out their first doubles opponents, 8-0. Abby King and Olivia Rorke, both juniors, won 80 at second doubles. “Overall, I thought we played decent. We haven’t had much practice because of the rain,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “Because of the lack of practice, we haven’t been able to work on things. And when we have had practice, it’s awhile before we implement things [into matches] because of the weather.” Decatur will travel to Pocomoke on Monday to play the Warriors at 4 p.m. The final match of the regular season is on Wednesday against the Snow Hill Eagles at 4 p.m. in Berlin. The District VIII championship tournament will take place the following week, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 17-18, in Cambridge.

Flounlacker pleased with girls’ performance
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team worked as a cohesive unit to earn a 19-5 victory over the Sussex Tech Ravens on Monday in Berlin. “It’s really hot out here, so I know they were kind of dragging a little bit, just running back and forth a lot, but they played really well,” said Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker. “They worked together as a team very well. I think we had a couple breakdowns on defense, but we’re throwing in some
young players who are still trying to get in the groove of how fast-paced the varsity style is.” The Lady Mallards scored 12 goals in the first half and held the visiting Ravens to two. “Overall, I’m very happy with how they’re performing going into the playoff season,” Flounlacker said. Senior captain Grace Tunis tallied four goals and an assist. Freshmen Delaney Abercrombie and Gracie Gardner netted three goals each. Junior Leigh Lingo chipped in with two goals and three assists.
Karlie Southcomb, a junior, added two goals and two assists. Sophomore Cameron Langeler contributed with two goals. Juniors Olivia Bescak and Kathleen Emche and sophomore Caroline Pasquariello scored one goal apiece. “Like I’ve been saying, we’re a very spread out team. There’s just no way one girl can do it all, that’s why we press it so hard that teamwork and chemistry are so important,” Flounlacker said. The Mallards will take on the Stephen Decatur Seahawks today, Friday, at 5:15 pm. The teams will play on
Decatur’s field in Berlin. “We always look forward to that game. Being a couple miles down the road, it’s always a huge rivalry game, especially since [Worcester Prep Assistant Coach] Sarah [Wootten] and I both are Decatur alums and we love getting the opportunity to play against our alma mater,” Flounlacker said. “I’m excited. I think they’ll be ready.” Many of the girls on Decatur’s and Worcester’s teams are friends and play, or have played, club and travel ball together. See LADY Page 66

SD Lady Seahawks excited to take on Wor. Prep Mallards
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team scored 13 unanswered goals in the first half of Wednesday’s game against the Parkside Rams in Berlin, and went on to win 21-4. “They played very well. They all played very unselfishly,” said Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki. “They took care of the ball very well and ran all of their plays nicely. Defensively, they got a chance to focus on some things that we have been working on.” Junior Victoria Kerkovich led the Lady Seahawks with five goals and three assists. Claire Porter, a junior, contributed four goals and six assists. Junior captain Lexie VanKirk added three goals and two assists, and junior Christina Romano had two goals and an assist. Junior Rachel Florek stopped three Parkside shots in the first half. Sara Mitrecic, a junior, took over in goal for the second half. Decatur will host the Worcester Prep Lady Mallards today, Friday, at 5:15 p.m. Many of the girls are friends and play, or have played together, on club and travel teams. “The girls are very excited for the game.

intense every year due to the close proximity, which makes it exciting,” Braniecki said. “We will need to control draws better than we have recently. On the defensive end, we will need to make sure that everyone is playing our team defense properly, making all of the correct slides.” On Monday, Decatur will compete in the Bayside Conference championship game against the Queen Anne’s Lions, at 5 p.m. in Easton.
Lady Mallards have strategy for game against Seahawks Continued from Page 65 Despite a late run by Worcester during the 2015 match, Decatur won the game, 14-10. “We’ve got to tighten up on defense and really stop their hard drives into the eight,” Flounlacker said. “They
have a lot of fast, strong players and they can take advantage of that. We just have to make sure we’re connecting on passing and catching. We look so good when we work the ball around and we’re connecting and we get great feeds to the middle.”

Junior Volleyball Association hosts girls’ competition
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) There will be 172 girls’ volleyball teams competing in Ocean City and the surrounding areas on Saturday and Sunday, during a tournament hosted by the Junior Volleyball Association. Indoor games will take place at the convention center on 40th Street, Northside Park on 125th Street, the Carousel Hotel on 117th Street, Indian River High School in Dagsboro, Delaware and Worcester County Parks and Recreation in Snow Hill. In addition, matches will be going on at Snow Hill Middle School, James M. Bennett High School in Salisbury and Crown Sports Center in Eden, Maryland on Sunday. Games are slated to take place on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. There are seven divisions of girls from 12-18 years old competing. Organizers said the event has grown every year. “We started with 40 teams at Northside Park five years ago, and last year we had 90 teams,” Richard Comly, event coordinator, said. “This year we turned away 50 teams, and next year we will be in the 200’s.” Each team is guaranteed five matches, with three taking place on Saturday. Playoff games and brackets are slated for Sunday around 3-4 p.m. at the convention center and the Carousel. “We have a bunch of extra teams, and its going to be fun,” Comly said. “The Carousel is melting down their ice skating rink and setting up a court for 12-year-olds.” Next year, the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury will be utilized, he added. “It’s a lot of fun to see the girls compete, and it is family entertainment,” Comly said. “College coaches will be in attendance and we have a charity theme going on. There is cheering and yelling, because people really get into the games.” Admission is $10 for the weekend, $8 for Sunday. Children 8 years old and younger pay $5, and 5 and under get in free.

WP boys’ tennis squad upsets JMB By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 6, 2016) When the Worcester Prep boys’ tennis team played the James M. Bennett Clippers on April 1 in Ocean Pines, the visiting Salisbury squad edged out the Mallards, 4-3. On Monday in Salisbury, Worcester came out on top, 5-2. “We had a great day. We played our best tennis of the year,” said Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler. “We were good throughout. Mentally, we stayed on top of it.” Freshman Will Todd won his second singles match, 8-1. Junior Adam Pizza’s fourth singles match was a back-andforth battle, but he prevailed, 8-6. Senior captain Charlie Pritchard, who has been playing doubles all season, stepped on the court at fifth singles. He was victorious, 8-3.

Leading 3-0, senior captain Alex Choy took his third singles match, 8-4, to earn Worcester’s fourth win and secure the team victory. Junior Owen Nally and sophomore Brendan Miller outscored their first doubles competition, 8-3. “They were undefeated. It was a big win for us,” Underkoffler said. “The guys were pumped. They played with a lot of confidence and determination. “I was proud of the way they were mentally tough,” he continued. “They were focused, there was no fading or no slowing down. They played tough throughout.” Worcester’s girls’ team was not as successful, falling to the Clippers, 2-5. “We were their only loss prior to [Monday],” said Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson. Worcester won the April 1 competition against Bennett, 4-3.
On Monday in Salisbury, Prep sophomore Anchita Batra won her third singles match, 8-1. Juniors Stormy McGuiness and Eva Parks topped their first doubles opponent, 8-1. “We love playing them. They’re very stiff competition. There were a lot of close ones, but we just couldn’t pull it out. It was not our best day,” Hudson said. “The weather was so much different. It was hot and we weren’t as energetic. We were a little slower getting to the ball.” Worcester’s girls’ team is scheduled to compete against the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres on Wednesday, May 11, at 4 p.m. in Easton. The Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship tournament is slated to take place on Friday, May 13, beginning at 2 p.m. in Salisbury.

Ocean City’s 26th annual Springfest runs through Sun.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Springfest, a four-day festival featuring food, live musical entertainment and arts and crafts, kicked off Thursday and runs through Sunday in the inlet parking lot in downtown Ocean City. “Springfest is the kickoff to the season in Ocean City and there is a lot to do for everyone,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. “Enjoy the breeze off the ocean while listening to free live music or try unique foods while taking in the historical Boardwalk.” Admission is free to Springfest, although headlining musical acts on Friday and Saturday require tickets. The festival is currently in full swing with thousands of people from all across the country expected to attend and browse the 200 unique craft booths, eat at one or more of the 38 food vendors or listen to dozens of free concerts in the inlet parking lot. The first 500 moms to enter Springfest on Sunday will receive a button pin and a carnation. “We hope people bring their moms to Springfest as a part of their Mother’s Day celebrations,” Miller said. “It is important to make sure they are recognized and it’s a special day for them.” Last year, the event drew a crowd of more than 100,000 people, making it

the second highest turnout in Springfest history, he said. The best year Springfest had was in 2004, when 118,000 came out to the four-day festival, Miller added. “Springfest is a family tradition and an event that has brought families to the beach in the spring season for 26 years,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Whether it’s the music you love, the crafts or the food, there is most definitely something for everyone. Pack a bag, put on your dancing
shoes and come enjoy four amazing days of fun at Springfest.” About 200 artisan vendors will be on site selling paintings, photos, handmade soaps, fragrances, wall art, jewelry, wood products, knitting products, apparel, personalized items, glassware, candles, pottery and many more treasures. Come to Springfest hungry because more than two dozen vendors will be inside the food tent serving a variety of tasty treats and festival food including crepes, crab cakes, wraps, pizza, See SPRINGFEST Page 70

Live music all weekend during Springfest
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Springfest will showcase a variety of live entertainment on two stages throughout the weekend, with headlining acts wrapping up each night. The 26th annual festival started Thursday and will feature local and regional performers and national acts beginning at 10:15 a.m. every day through Sunday. Most performances are free to the public. “We have all seen great performances, but how many times can you say that you watched a performer under the big top tent with the ocean waves crashing only a few yards away,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “It’s pretty incredible to experience and not only is the music great but the overall experience is what brings people coming back for more.” Thousands will gather in Ocean City for Springfest, which will include more than a dozen acts, highlighted by three nights of nationally known artists on the Entertainment Pavilion stage. Country music star Sara Evans will play to a sold out show at Springfest tonight, Friday, beginning at 8 p.m. She has sold nearly six million records and her last four albums have been certified gold, platinum or
multi-platinum. She recorded five number one hits, including “Suds in the Bucket,” “A Real Fine Place to Start,” “No Place That Far” and “A Little Bit Stronger,” the title track of her 2011 album, Stronger. Evans has won best female vocalist from the Academy of Country Music and Video of the Year from the Country Music Association for “Born to Fly.” She released “Slow Me Down,” her seventh studio album, in 2014. The final headlining act, Collective Soul, will be performing on Saturday night and about 500 tickets remained
as of Monday afternoon. Tickets cost $30-$55. The ‘90s rockers released their ninth studio album, “See What You Started by Continuing,” this past fall and will rock audiences with popular jams such as “Shine,” “The World I Know” and “December.” The multi-platinum quintet has been making music for two decades and has a litany of number one hits. “The musical entertainment is a huge draw for visitors at sunset,” Waters said. “Some love to dance in the sunshine with amazing entertainers See SARA Page 77

Assortment of unique food, crafts and art at Springfest
More than two dozen food vendors will offer an assortment of tasty treats this weekend during Springfest in the inlet parking lot.
Don’t Miss The Fun! Clip & Save!
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Approximately 200 unique craft booths and 38 food vendors have taken over the inlet parking lot, where Ocean City’s 26th annual Springfest festival kicked off yesterday, Thursday, and continues until Sunday. The event provides the opportunity for artisans and merchants to show off their products in addition to being a reunion for returning vendors and a trip to Ocean City for the weekend. Vendors travel from all over the United States, including Ohio, Florida and California this year. “It is one of the nicest craft shows you can go to and it is free to the public, with live music,” said Roy DeGrange, owner of Roy’s Concessions out of Middletown, Maryland. “I never would have dreamt one day I would be working by the ocean and beach. It gives me time to spend with my wife and son. Ocean City is the place to go.” Roy’s Concessions has been selling gourmet wraps made fresh to order at Springfest for at least 10 years, and patrons may choose to build their own. Grilled chicken on a garlic herb wrap, portabella mushroom, taco, turkey club and California club with pepper bacon and guacamole are a few of the options.

its inception and Bob Shiffner has helped out the last three years. Homemade jambalaya and clam chowder can be purchased at the VFW booth this year. “Springfest brings people together who have been coming for years and it’s the kickoff to the season,” Shiffner said. “We do it as a fundraiser to raise money and keep the VFW going. The town has been good to us and everyone is a volunteer.” The Pizza Shoppe out of Crisfield, Maryland, has been a vendor at Springfest for 15 years. “It is a good show and the people who run it are professionals,” said owner Billie Chandler. “It is a nice reunion for vendors who have been around for years. We have watched our kids grow up and it’s a nice family reunion for us.” Along with pepperoni and cheese pizza, visitors can also munch on oysters and soft crabs. “We are bringing fresh seafood and local oysters to the event,” Chandler said. “This is the kickoff for festival season in Maryland. We have been hunkered down all winter and what better place to go then Ocean City? It is a nice getaway for families, does not cost that much money and is one of the best events we do.” About 26 vendors will be inside the See VENDORS Page 79

There will also be 12 gourmet vendors offering Bloody Mary mix, pretzels, soups, wine mixes and nuts. “The food at Springfest is outstanding,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “You get all of your Eastern Shore favorites, with crab cakes, clam strips and Boardwalk fries. It is food you can’t get many other places so it’s a definite treat.” This will be the 24th year Gail Paolino presents her hand painted clothes, Daffydills, out of Parkertown, New Jersey, with a beachy theme at Springfest. Items include tunics, jackets, lightweight hoodies and beach bags. “Its great to display them at the beginning of the summer season and there is such a wonderful mix of customers who visit me at Springfest,” Paolino said. “I have loyal customers that come from as far as West Virginia, Pittsburg and Vermont. It’s like a class reunion at Springfest, seeing old faces and also meeting new customers each year. The show is well organized and it’s a pleasure to participate.” At least 200 artisan vendors will be on site selling everything from paintings to photography, handmade soaps, fragrances, wall art, jewelry, wood products, knitting products, candles, apparel,

personalized items, glassware, pottery and many more treasures. Karen Daughtrey from Hillsboro, Ohio, has been displaying her magnetic adjustable picture frames and magnetic decorative wall boards for at least six years at Springfest. They cost anywhere from $15 to $35. It takes about 13 hours for Daughtrey to bring K.I.D. Sales products to Ocean City and a group of vendors from Ohio make the trip as well. “There are three or four of us vendors who live in Ohio and we travel and eat out together,” Daughtrey said. “Everyone is anxious to get going and start the season out on a good note. People come no matter what the weather is. The people who run the event are very nice and do a good job.” Springfest runs today and tomorrow, May 6-7, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May, 8, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/springfest or call 800-626-2326.
Annual SERVEFEST outreach event scheduled for May 21 (May 6, 2016) SERVEFEST is a oneday, yearly outreach event by The Worship Center designed to serve the Berlin community in the following five areas: widows, orphans/fatherless, poor/needy, oppressed/sick and imprisoned. The organization is currently accepting requests from residents within a 10mile radius of The Worship Center, located at 10736 Ocean Gateway, Berlin, Maryland 21811. Those who need or know someone with a need and would like to be considered as a recipient for the SERVEFEST outreach, send a written request to the address above with ATTN: Jennifer Mitchell. Include which of the five categories the recipient meets, contact information and the need. All requests must be received by May 7. The group’s goal is to unite more volunteers with those who have needs within the community and surrounding areas, while showing the love of Jesus Christ. In the first two years of SERVEFEST, volunteers visited with those in the
Berlin Nursing Home, distributed hot meals to approximately 280 people and provided home repair and yard cleanup to name a few of the jobs completed. Last year, 90 volunteers participated in helping the Berlin/Ocean City community. Volunteers should plan on meeting for team assignments on Saturday, May 21 at 8 a.m. (rain date June 18) at The Worship Center located next to Casual Design Furniture at 10736 Ocean Gateway. Volunteers will be stationed throughout the community showering others with God’s love in a tangible way. This year they will be distributing hot meals from the parking lot adjacent to Seaside Christian Academy in West Ocean City. It is The Worship Center’s desire to reach out to serve those in need by bringing faith and community together to show living proof of a loving God. For more information, call Jennifer Mitchell at 410-603-3628, email at servefest2013@gmail.com or visit https://sites.google.com/site/servefest2013/.

‘Yappy Hour’ at OP Dog Park first Fri. of each month
Meet performers following ‘Alice in Wonderland’ play
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) The Worcester County Library Foundation is sponsoring two shows of the “New Adventures of Alice in Wonderland” this Saturday, inside the Performing Arts Center at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, and there are still plenty of tickets available. “I have seen 2-year-olds sitting there engrossed in the show while adults enjoy the humor,” said Donna Grimm, owner of Other Voices, the production company putting on the shows. “It is for the entire family.” Shows are slated to begin at 2 and 7 p.m. A meet and greet with the cast will take place after each performance. The first act lasts 45 minutes followed by a 40-minute second act. “All the main characters come out to sign autographs and take pictures with the kids,” Grimm said. Look forward to all Alice in Wonderland favorites to appear including the Red and White Queens, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat and Tweedledee and Tweedledum. “There is a Disney-like, extravagant set and costume design,” Grimm said. “Audiences will see a 12-foot mushroom and dancing cards. It is more of a dance theater piece with ac-

tors from the tri-state area.” The show begins in the city with Alice and her two sisters celebrating a birthday. Suddenly, Alice becomes lost, falls down the subway and ends up in Wonderland. Audiences can sing along with the Mad Hatter tea party, catch the queen’s croquet match with flamingo dancers used as mallets, watch live chess pieces on stage and celebrate the white queen’s unbirthday with song and dance during the show. “It is all fantasy and everything is very edgy,” Grimm said. “Alice comes across all these characters in the city and they come back in Wonderland.”
Ticket prices are $10 for theatre seating and $15 for orchestra seating. They can be purchased at the convention center box office or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-551-7328. “The Worcester County Library Foundation values community and family and makes it its mission to bring professional family shows to the lower Eastern Shore and subsidizes ticket prices through additional sponsorship so that all families can afford to attend,” said Lisa Outten Harrison, public relations manager for the Worcester County Library and chief operating officer for the Worcester County Library Foundation.
(May 6, 2016) Pups and people are invited to stop by the Ocean Pines Dog Park for “Yappy Hour” on the first Friday of every month from 6-8 p.m., beginning May 6. Dog treats and water will be provided, and registered dogs will receive a dog park bandana at their first visit. Pet owners are welcome to bring their own food and beverages. The cost to participate is a one-time fee of $10, a portion of which will be donated to the Worcester County Humane Society. Additional sessions will be held on June 3, July 1, Aug. 5 and Sept. 2. A yearly Ocean Pines Dog Park registration, separate from Yappy Hour registration, is required of all participating dogs prior to the event. Dog park registration may be completed through the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department. The Ocean Pines Dog Park is fenced and shaded with separate areas for large and small dogs. It is located at the Manklin Meadows complex in Ocean Pines. For more information or to register, call the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department at 410-641-7052. Information regarding additional recreational programs, including an online version of the Ocean Pines Activity Guide, is available at OceanPines.org.

SDHS show and concert choirs win awards Groups take home first and third place, respectively, at Hershey’s Music in the Park
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Fresh off multiple award-winning performances during a choral competition in Hershey, Pennsylvania last week, the Stephen Decatur High School choir teams have their sights set on sunny Florida. Choir Director Christine Middlecamp, now in her third year at the helm, said the choir program has won awards for more than 30 years. “The last three years we’ve traveled for competitions,” she said. “I kind of brought that back.” Both the show choir and concert choir took home awards during the
Music in the Park competition on April 29. “The show choir earned first place and the concert choir took third place,” she said. The school also received the Esprit De Corps award, which was particularly rewarding to Middlecamp. “Out of 29 groups, we won the best behaved school award,” she said. Music in the Parks, which are annual competitions held across the U.S. for student choral, orchestral or band ensembles, are organized by the Educational Programs Network. Middlecamp said her pupils share the joys and frustrations of competition, forming a bond and lending mutual support. “We’re really like a family,” she said. “The kids walk away with more self-confidence and self-worth.”
Although choir participants hope to one day attend the annual Festival Disney competition in Florida, thus far, the trip has been cost prohibitive. With approximately 40 members in the show choir, and roughly 25 members in the concert choir, the trek entails a substantial financial commitment. “It will require at least a $5,000 deposit,” she said. During her era with the choir program, Middlecamp has organized members to travel for competitions, but not without the fundraising efforts by a parents’ booster club. “It’s where we get all our funding,” she said. The group is working to publicize its next attempt to secure travel revenue, which will take place on Wednesday, May 18 at Carrabba’s
Italian Grill in West Ocean City, from 4-10 p.m. The restaurant will donate 15 percent of customer checks to fund the choir. Middlecamp stressed that choir supporters should tell the hostess their table is there to support the choir or no credit will be given to the group. While you don’t have to travel to sing, Middlecamp sees a greater value in expanding the dreams of youth. “Some of these kids have never left the state,” she said. “It’s an important thing to travel and see the larger world.” Despite the moniker of the choir director, Middlecamp places the highest value on character formation. “The kids are having opportunities they would not normally,” she said. “It’s more about the people they beSee MAY Page 82

Caswell racks up Special Olympics medals
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) George Caswell knows athletic glory is not exclusive to youth. In 2010, at the tender age of 57, Caswell got involved with the Special Olympics and over the next four years amassed 26 medals while competing in golf, tennis, bowling and swimming events. “The majority are silver and gold,” he said. Currently residing at the Woodlands of Ocean Pines, Caswell recently set up a display in the building’s atrium to share his multitude of medals, awards, photographs, sports gear and jerseys, with curious cohorts, staff and visitors. Before relocating to Worcester County more than two years ago,
Caswell lived in Charleston, South Carolina, where he joined a regional Special Olympics chapter after being encouraged by family members. He singled out his brother, Hoge Caswell, who became a de facto coach, supporter and road trip partner for his older sibling. “He got me involved, but I did all the packing and traveling,” he said. “It’s safe to say he’s my number one fan.” In fact, a brotherly bond is what motivated Caswell’s eventual move to the shore, as Hoge lives in the area. To qualify for Special Olympics, athletes must exhibit an intellectual disability or cognitive delay. Adding further poignancy to Caswell’s medalwinning performances is a physical challenge resulting from a broken leg and subsequent complications.
Since his early 20’s, Caswell has lived with lymphedema in his left leg, a condition that manifests as fluid retention and tissue swelling due to a compromised lymphatic system. In 1975, Caswell fell down a flight of stairs in a circa-1700’s farmhouse his parents owned in southwest Vermont. “I went spiraling down the stairs,” he said. “When I landed, I knew I broke something but didn’t know what.” To complete the rural backcountry picture, Caswell, who had broken both his tibia and fibula bones, was operated on by an old country doctor, whose sage advice proved less than useful. During the healing process, after having a second plaster cast removed, the doctor proposed an alternative for the third and final cast. “He said, ‘George you do like swimming, so I can fix you up with a fiber-
glass cast that will allow you to go swimming,’” he said. “He didn’t tell me how to dry it out.” Unfortunately, after having a pleasurable dip in the river on a warm day, Caswell proceeded to lay out in the sunshine and the heat basically baked his leg. “It swelled up with fluids,” he said. “It never hurt.” Despite the obvious curveballs fate tossed in his direction, Caswell was gainfully employed in his younger days, principally working in the retail industry, shuttling merchandise along the I-95 corridor in Connecticut. Prior to his mishap, he earned a paycheck at a logging mill in Vermont. An interest in tennis and golf was instilled from Caswell’s parents. “My mom was a championship tenSee CASWELL’S Page 85

Ocean Pines Players present scholarship aid to Carpenter
(May 6, 2016) If it is true that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, then don’t expect 16-year-old Kate Carpenter to slow down anytime soon. The Stephen Decatur High School sophomore has been dancing since kindergarten and has since added singing, acting, art and track to her repertoire. To hone her skills, she auditioned for, and won, a spot in this year’s prestigious Summer Performing Arts Conservatory at the elite American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City. During her two weeks in the conservatory, she will receive intensive training with a primary focus on musical theater and auditioning. The Ocean Pines Players and its sister organization, the Ocean Pines Youth Theater, are betting on Carpenter’s success by providing her with $500 in scholarship aid. Given the steep tuition for this elite program, plus the notoriously high cost of housing and food in New York City, Carpenter is very grateful
to receive such support from her hometown colleagues. Local theater goers may have seen Carpenter this past winter starring as Belle in the Ocean Pines Youth Theater production of Beauty and the Beast at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street. Recently, she has been studying Shakespeare, who wrote her favorite role to date, Hermia, from A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream. Even with all of her accomplishments in sports, acting, and singing, Carpenter has not forgotten her first love, dancing. She has danced competitively for over 10 years and it was at a dance convention that she was advised by New York professionals to try out for the AMDA summer program. Some of the colleges she is considering include Julliard, Tisch, Carnegie Mellon and Marymount Manhattan. She dreams of performing professionally on Broadway, and perhaps also to use her talents as a music or dance therapist for children.
Howard to discuss time as Tangier Is. artist in residence (May 6, 2016) Painter Debra Howard has lived in many places and traveled throughout the world, but she says the most unique place she has ever lived is Tangier Island. “I have traveled all through Europe. I’ve sailed from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland, through the Panama Canal, in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, up the entire East Coast to Canada. By far, Tangier was the most foreign and odd place I have ever lived,” Howard said. Howard will discuss her time as artist in residence on Tangier Island on Tuesday, May 10 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street. The event is free and open to the public, and reservations are not required. Howard grew up in Miami and studied at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota. Now a resident of Crisfield, she is an award-winning plein air artist whose work reflects the subtle rhythms and beauty of the Chesapeake Bay area. Tangier — an island that is gradually washing away with rising sea levels, losing nearly nine acres a year — is a culture all to itself. The 450 islanders speak a strong Cornish dialect. The island is dotted with dozens of abandoned homes and is virtually treeless, a result of the British using the wood to build a fort during the War of 1812. And when Tangier islanders have parties or gatherings, the opposite sexes don’t mix.
“The women do their thing; the men do theirs,” Howard said. “I attended many dances with just women. We’d get together at the school cafeteria.” Outsiders are looked upon with suspicion, as the artist in residence experienced first hand. “The only grocery store is stocked on Thursday morning, and is jammed with islanders trying to get fresh food,” Howard recalled. “Even after two-and-a half years there, when I’d come in to shop, everyone would quit speaking.” She had only been the artist in residence there for a week when someone sank her new dingy and outboard. To solve the problem, she didn’t go to the police, but to the church. During her talk, Howard will share many other Tangier Island stories as well as old and new photos of the island and images of her island paintings.

Stephen Decatur High School sophomore Kate Carpenter has earned a spot in the Summer Performing Arts Conservatory at American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City. She has been dancing since kindergarten and has since added singing, acting, art and track to her repertoire.
Opening reception for ‘Food for the Soul’ art show, May 6 (May 6, 2016) “Food for the Soul,” a group show of works from the artist’s palette that tempt the viewer’s taste palette, will be on display through May at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street. The public is invited to the free opening reception on First Friday, May 6, from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and enjoy complimentary refreshments from Touch of Italy. The Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association of Ocean City has added a new twist to the “Food for the Soul” show. Nine local restaurants invited artists to come in, sample their cuisine and then create a piece of art based on their experience. What these artists created will be on display during the show, and the HMRA is providing cash prizes to the artists. The participating restaurants were: Sello’s, Dunes Manor: The Victorian Rooms, Longboard Cafe, Touch of Italy, Culture, The Shark, the Ocean City Fish Company, BJ’s on the Water and The Hobbit. Also opening on First Friday in the Thaler Gallery is “The Language of Color in the Landscape” by two artists who specialize in interpreting the panorama of the area — Debra Howard and Angela Herbert-Hodges. Howard grew up in Miami and studied at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota before opening an illustration studio in San Francisco. She is an award-winning plein air artist whose work reflects the subtle rhythms and beauty of the Chesapeake Bay area and her hometown of Crisfield. Herbert-Hodges is an artist, Cordon Bleu chef and Olympic fencer. Born in a small village in England, she has lived in London, Paris, Spain
and Zimbabwe before putting down roots on the Eastern Shore. HerbertHodges uses collage and mixed media to create her abstracted, highly textured landscapes. Fiber artist Hannibal Lee occupies Studio E in May with vivid interpretations of Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork in fabric. Trained in the Brandywine tradition by Carolyn Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth’s sister, he had created a new medium combining textiles, mixed media and natural artifacts into 3D “translations.” The Spotlight Gallery hosts works by a trio of painters. Mary Murphy grew up on a farm in Ohio where she loved being outdoors and now paints plein air since her arrival on the Eastern Shore. Betty Latourney works in watercolors and oils and participates in several local plein air events. Suzanne Wilson, a Salisbury University graduate and local high school math teacher, paints realistic landscapes with an impressionistic flair. Multi-media artist and Art League staff member Debbi Dean-Colley is the artisan in residence for May. Mostly self-taught, she experiments with different media to create unique and creative objects of art.

Caswell’s awards on display at Woodlands of Ocean Pines Continued from Page 83 nis player,” he said. In addition to his mother imparting racket-swinging skills to the children, his father implanted a love of the links. “Dad taught us how to play golf,” he said. “I started at 18.” The year prior to linking with the Special Olympics, Caswell’s mother died, leaving him parentless, as his dad had died decades earlier. After joining the Charleston team in 2010, Caswell discovered a group of friends to help fill that void. “I would like to go back to Charleston and see everyone,” he said. “The whole four-year experience was fantastic.” Although Caswell took home accolades in golf, tennis, bowling and several swimming events, he couldn’t translate that success to the bocce ball court. “I did a lot of practicing and compet-
ing, but never won a medal,” he said. It’s not just about winning for Caswell, who noted the South Carolina regional team, which receives financial support from the city, returns the favor by planting flowers to beautify local parks. Regardless of the civic engagement, Caswell said the primary goal is just having fun and networking. “You just go out and enjoy a game of golf or tennis,” he said. “Also, I enjoy traveling and meeting other people.” With competitors ranging in age from 10 to 70, Caswell encourages anyone who qualifies to join a Special Olympics team in their area. “I look back and say everybody that has some kind of handicap ought to get mixed up with the Special Olympics,” he said. “If the Maryland squad goes somewhere local I think people would like to go see people with handicaps of all kinds competing.”

North Worcester Co. Relay For Life to kick off at SDMS By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 6, 2016) Hundreds of participants will gather at Frontier Town Campground, off Route 611 in Berlin, Friday, May 6, for the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life, which celebrates beating cancer, remembers loved ones who lost their battle and shows support for those currently fighting the disease. The 2016 North Worcester County Relay For Life is an all-night walk kicking off at 6 p.m. at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin. Because of rain forecasted for this week, organizers have moved the evening portion of Relay For Life indoors. At 10 p.m., the event is slated to continue at Frontier Town with more activities, the sunrise celebration and closing ceremonies. “People in our community get together and donate their time and money while we try to find an end to cancer,” said Dawn Hodge, event cochairwoman. The theme for this year’s overnight celebration is “Maryland Strong: Fighting Cancer from the Beaches to the Mountains.” “We picked the theme in honor of Gov. Larry Hogan being diagnosed with cancer,” Hodge said. “It’s all
about strength and what gives you the strength to be a survivor or to participate in Relay For Life.” Although it may rain, each team will have its own campsite with water and electricity, courtesy of Frontier Town. Individuals and teams can register at the event starting at 4 p.m. and there is no fee to participate. As of Wednesday, 44 teams with 232 participants have signed up. Relay For Life will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and continue until 6 a.m. Saturday. The goal for 2016 is to have 130 survivors in attendance and to generate $195,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $105,607 had been raised as of Monday, Hodge said. “More than 1.6 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer this year,” Hodge said. “The American Cancer Society is the second largest donor of research dollars and money stays local through programs in the area.” Participants have until Aug. 31 to submit their final donations and there is an Eastern Shore golf tournament slated for Sept. 3 at the Ocean City Golf Club, which will benefit the American Cancer Society, she said.

Relay for Life raises funds for American Cancer Society Continued from Page 87 tients in the area utilize through donations from events such as Relay For Life. During the 12-hour fundraiser, team members will take turns walking laps around the campground track and organizers strive for each team to have at least one member taking a lap on the track throughout the night. Every time a registered participant walks a full lap, they receive a ticket, which will enter them into a drawing for an overnight stay for two at The Edge or Lighthouse Club hotels owned by John Fager. The lucky participant will be announced at the 6 a.m. closing ceremonies and they must be present to win. In 2015, 41 teams and 310 registered participants, came out to Relay For Life, helping to raise about $165,500 for the organization. Throughout the past 18 years, North Worcester County’s Relay has donated more than $1 million to the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life’s 2016 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. Survivors will be joined by their caregivers for the second lap of the

evening. In honor of Mother’s Day, the third lap is designated for moms, and the fourth lap will honor breast cancer survivors. Sponsors are recognized during the fifth lap. A reception for cancer survivors will take place at 6:30 p.m. after the first couple of laps, with music provided by DJ Brian K. Hall from Adams Group on Delmarva. An abundance of children’s activities with prizes for participants will be taking place from 7-8:15 p.m. including spoon races, bean bag toss, a sandy treasure hunt, beach ball bowling, limbo, sticky tic-tac-toe and neon ping pong toss, just to name a few. Julie Littleton was the children’s activities coordinator this year and is a stage four colon cancer survivor. “She made beautiful ribbons for all our survivors and they are amazing,” Hodge said. Children will be invited to make crafts at the survivor tent from 9-10 p.m. “From 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., participants can request a song by donating money,” Hodge said. “I am excited and think we can raise a lot more money. You pay to play anything you want and can dedicate songs to people. It will be a lot of fun.” The Luminaria Ceremony of Remembrance begins at 8:15 p.m. in honor and remembrance of a loved

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker prepares ‘Mom’s Apple Cake Muffins’ Columnist shares treasured memories of some special women that graced her life
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 6, 2016) A memoir of family and food keeps remembrances dear to my heart. As the metronome of time continues, Grandma Sheler and Aunt Jenny are no longer with us. But mother knows the importance of tradition and the values it bestows upon us. Unpretentiousness was a way of life and is indicative of how America ate. With that in mind, I would like to share a few treasured moments to commemorate some of the special
women that have graced my life. Grandma Sheler was petite in size but her compassion and resourcefulness was endless. Decades inhibit complete clarity but the essence is still apparent. As a curious child, I relished the thought of being one with the earthiness of Mother Nature. My great-grandmother and I spent many a days in the garden. Our southern roots lie deep and greens were always on the menu. One of Grandma’s favorite dishes was wild greens soup. She used to say simplicity is full of flavor if one knows how to develop its essence.
The secret to the dish is the assortment of greens; each particular one has a unique taste and adds to the overall experience. Wild greens, chicken stock, pork cheek, garlic, a splash of white vinegar and a few dried crushed red pepper seeds are indicative of a cornucopia of cultures. Today’s culinary authority might shun such a dish. It saddens me to think that we place our palettes on such a pedestal that peasantry dishes are no longer
considered worthy. Hard work is understood in the Walker family and Aunt Jenny was no exception. There is no doubt she could cook and everything was made from scratch. Even the smallest ingredient was given the utmost consideration. I have always been fascinated with the lore of the kitchen. Prejudice never entered my limited arena of cookery. I could not comprehend how uncomplicated ingredients

Cake muffins packed with apples and spices could possibly be transformed into something completely different. One summer I enjoyed an extended visit with Aunt Jenny and a whole new world manifested itself right before my eyes. I remember being attached to my great aunt’s apron and witnessing a wondrous reflection of knowledge that is still embedded within me. August is synonymous with endless bushels of gorgeous tomatoes. Canning was understood but making homemade tomato paste intrigued my whimsical imagination. Aunt Jenny would carefully pick out the largest and freshest plum tomatoes. Then she would cautiously lower the tomatoes in boiling water. My great aunt would only blanch a few tomatoes at a time, this kept the water temperature hot. She counted to 15, removed, and placed the tomatoes in cold water. The skins of the tomatoes magically separated from the flesh as she rinsed them in cold water. Aunt Jenny would cut the tomatoes in halves crosswise, not lengthwise, squeeze to remove the seeds and juice. The peeled tomatoes were placed through a food mill to break down the meat of the tomatoes. Then they were put in a colander that was
lined with cheesecloth and set over another large bowl to drain more liquid. Nothing was wasted and the juice was frozen for future use. Chopped garlic, salt, sugar and fresh basil were added to the puree and the mixture simmered until the texture turned into the consistency of tomato paste. I miss Aunt Jenny and our times in the kitchen. I realize the process of homemade tomato paste is time consuming and not meant for the “modern” cook. But it exemplifies the appreciation and respect that food no questionably deserves. Mother did not have to encourage me when it came to cooking, but she diligently taught me the little steps that are so important and not recorded in standard cookbooks. As I got older, I realized the skills and lessons she so patiently taught me not only pertained to the kitchen but also encompass life itself. Little did I know the measuring of a cup of sugar or flour could be so treasured. Yes, it’s about taste but it is much more. It is about living life to the fullest and appreciating the wondrous miracles that bless us each and every day. Mom, you have taught me so much but the greatest lesson you
gave me was love. Happy Mother’s Day. Mother is notorious for her apple cake. Following is a fun adaptation that adults and children will adore. These muffins are packed with apples and spices. Enjoy!
Mom’s Apple Cake Muffins Apple Cake Mixture 3 cups sifted flour 2 ¼ cups sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup canola oil 4 eggs, unbeaten 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
Spiced Apples 4 or 5 red apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped 5 tablespoons sugar 3 teaspoons cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground allspice ¼ teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder powdered sugar as a garnish Apple Cake Mixture 1.

2. Grease muffin pan with a little oil and coat with flour. 3. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. 4. Add the oil, unbeaten eggs, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Using an electric beater, blend the dry and wet ingredients together. Set aside. Spiced Apples 5. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and spices. Then, incorporate the apple chunks. Make sure all of the apples are coated with the spice mix. 6. Place several chunks of apples in the bottom of the prepared muffin pans. Scoop the batter on top of the apples. Top with more chopped apples. Add a splash of orange juice on each muffin and bake for 30 minutes or until the muffins are lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean. 7. When muffins have cooled down, garnish with powdered sugar. Makes 12 Muffins Secret Ingredient - Pressure. “The only pressure I’m under is the pressure I’ve put on myself.” –Mark Messier

March for Babies walk set for Sat. (May 6, 2016) Event Chairwomen Sarah DelliGatti and Sarah Evans will lead Saturday’s Worcester County March of Dimes March for Babies walk at Assateague State Park. As chairs, DelliGatti and Evans have played an integral role in raising awareness and funds to advance the lifesaving research, education and programs at the core of the March of Dimes effort to find causes and preventions for preterm birth, birth defects and infant mortality. “Premature birth is the leading cause of death for newborns. One in 10 babies in the U.S. is born too soon,” Evans said. “Together, we will work to ensure that the Foundation’s mission continues to improve the health of babies in Worcester County.” The March of Dimes is working hard to help women have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.
March for Babies is its largest annual fundraising event. It gives hope to the more than 380,000 babies born too soon each year in the United States. “It takes leaders in our community working together to ensure more moms have healthy pregnancies,” DelliGatti said. Last year, more than 100 people attended March for Babies at Assateague State Park. They raised over $40,000 for the March of Dimes. “We are grateful for DelliGatti and Evans commitment and are excited to have them supporting our mission,” said Jessica Hales, Eastern Shore Division director for the March of Dimes “Their passion and commitment to helping local families will be a huge driving factor in the success of our event.” The Worcester County March for Babies event will be held on Saturday,
May 7, beginning at 10 a.m. at Assateague State Park. Visit www.marchforbabies.org for more information or to make a donation.

The annual event drew entries from nearly 3,000 Maryland students. Worcester Preparatory School fourth grader Isabella Huber was one of the winners. Her essay included, “…I would like to have a healthy heart festival. This is where everyone comes together to show what they’ve learned about being healthy.” The winners will be honored by Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford and an array of municipal leaders during a May 12 See HUBER Page 93

Huber slated to be recognized during May 12 ceremony Continued from Page 92 ceremony at the Maryland State House in Annapolis. Each winning student will receive a Governor’s Citation, an award plaque and a $100 cash prize. Immediately following the ceremony, the students – along with their families and teachers – will enjoy a short boat tour of the Chesapeake Bay on the Harbor Queen. In addition to the celebration at the State House, the leaders of each municipality often choose to honor local participants. Some municipalities have their winning student become mayor for a day, while others host a ceremony to celebrate the student’s accomplishment. MML’s “If I Were Mayor, I Would…” contest has, since its inception in 2001, challenged students to learn about civic duty by creatively developing a vision of what they would do as mayor. This year, the students were tasked with rising to the challenge of making their fictional municipality, “Happy Town,” a healthier place to live. Each 275-word essay had to begin with: “If I Were Mayor, I would…” and answer three open-ended questions revolved around developing programs and services and getting citizens to participate in the solution.

Commentary
Islands now split, but not separate
The National Park Service, which has done a fine job taking care of Assateague Island since it acquired the property nearly 50 years ago, has a problem. On the one hand, its preferred option for managing these public lands in the years ahead is to involve no more human intervention than is necessary, while accepting that there are some things that are beyond its control. At the same time, however, the national seashore is not entirely an island unto itself, at least in the sense that what happens on Assateague stays on Assateague. There was a time when people thought otherwise, but that was before scientists and the public came to understand how intertwined the fates of Assateague, Ocean City and the mainland are. Even after the hurricane of 1933 cut Assateague off from Ocean City by creating the inlet, a strong connection between the two remained, as the stabilization of the inlet by engineers also resulted in dynamics that weakened the north end of the Assateague. Its westward march since then is part of that. The thing is, if Assateague’s migration were allowed to continue, the inlet itself would become more exposed and less stable, the bay west of Assateague would become more difficult to navigate and mainland properties shielded by the barrier island could face greater risks from bad weather. That’s why the plan to manage Assateague’s resources has to include continued beach restoration on its northern portion. Park officials said the absence of a mention of that in their preferred option was a mistake that will be corrected. Local and county officials want that to be so. Otherwise Assateague’s problems would be minor as compared to the potentially disastrous effects on the surrounding area. As the park service itself said more than 30 years ago, the westerly movement of Assateague was caused by human intervention when the inlet was made stable, so human intervention to prevent that is justified.

Letters to the editor Attitudes changing on mental health
Editor, National attitudes toward mental health are shifting, a report co-sponsored by three mental health and suicide prevention organizations concludes. The stigma surrounding seeking care for behavioral disorders is lessening, most Americans value mental and physical health equally, and the vast majority of survey respondents thought that suicide was nearly always preventable. This is good news on many fronts, and has implications for those of us who call the lower Eastern Shore home. As more people feel comfortable asking for professional help for mental health challenges, demand for therapists, clinicians and doctors will grow. Local medical and therapeutic communities, and outreach and education organizations, have already begun to address this welcome change of attitude. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention joined forces to survey Americans, ages 18 and older, in a study launched last August. While the suicide rate in America has climbed 20 percent since 1999, 94 percent of those who
responded thought that early diagnosis and treatment for mental illness could prevent suicides. Young Americans, in particular, believed that turning to a mental health professional in times of stress was a sign of personal strength. A partnership of local health departments, nonprofit suicide prevention and crisis response groups, counseling services, schools and hospitals launched the “Mental Health: Know the Facts, No Stigma” campaign in 2015. That partnership continues to spread the mission that there is nothing shameful about seeking help for mental illness. The campaign follows years of efforts to improve access to mental health services on the lower shore. Gaps in service remain, of course, and barriers to access mental health care – some the result simply of geography, others erected by insurers that fail to honor the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 – persist. The study pointed out that there is a need for more “trained mental health professionals, proper facilities and firstresponse support.” In Worcester County, a tele-psychiatry arrangement with SheppardPratt Hospital, created by the health department, has increased care available to residents. In 2005, the Worcester County Health Department was instrumental in partnering with
Atlantic General Hospital to add a psychiatrist to the staffs of both agencies. The same health department, through its Crisis Intervention Team, has enabled countless first responders to deal with mental health crises sensitively, defusing potentially dangerous situations and enhancing the safety of patients, their families, and the responders. At the Peninsula Regional Medical Center, the Behavioral Health Campaign is working to expand the number of adult inpatient beds. PRMC has also entered into an agreement with Adventist Health Care Behavioral Health & Wellness Service, which will provide three child psychiatrists onsite. Somerset County recently received a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that places a full-time, behavioral health therapist in the county’s public schools. This comes in recognition of the fact that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for adolescents nationwide. Nonprofit agencies like the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund and Salisbury’s Life Crisis Center have expanded classes in suicide prevention and mental health first aid.

Funds raised help soften cancer treatment
Editor, I would like to send out a big “thank you” to all involved in our colon cancer awareness event: my customers, relatives, fellow business owners, the employees at the Sheraton Inner Harbor and the local newspapers who all helped to make it a successful event. Together, we raised over $3,000 to provide aid and comfort to those patients fighting the battle of their life. Gina’s Comfort Fund provides help with food cards, gas cards, visiting angels, co-pays for chemo, acupuncture to help with chemo side effects and many other expenses. Hopefully, I helped to make the public aware enough to think about colon cancer and getting a screening. Especially for those under 50 years of age, listen to your body and the signs it sends to you.

Small FEMA error has big consequences
Editor, After all the years and expense of drafting and redrafting flood maps for our area, FEMA apparently made a major error that will spike the flood insurance premiums for condos, hotels and motels from 93rd Street to 123rd Street. Ironically, many of these build-
66th Street Bayside
ings have dunes that make them the most protected in the city. Yet the Rainbow condominium alone now has a flood insurance premium of $460,000. Obviously, FEMA will atone for this unprofessional mistake, apologize and help correct this action that could drive people out of the area. Well … no! According to FEMA, the only way to correct FEMA’s own mistake is for the city to submit a “Letter of Map Revision Application” (are we in a George Orwell novel here?). This will cost the city (that means us the taxpayers) $65,000 to hire a consultant who knows how to submit these “Letters of Map Revision Application.” Who made up that requirement? Congress or FEMA? Take a guess. This is truly another example of how out of control many federal bureaucracies have become. I have a suggestion. Before we spend the $65,000 for this surreal effort to fix a problem that FEMA itself created, how about the mayor contacting Governor Hogan, Senators Cardin and Mikulski, Congressman Harris and State Sen. Mathias and request that they contact FEMA to demand that they offer some immediate relief? Maybe that is already in the works or has already happened “behind the scenes.” But if not, this is exactly the type of problem that should be addressed by our state and federal legislative representatives when federal bureaucracies have such a destructive and expensive impact on we the people.

THE PUBLIC EYE
By Stewart Dobson Now that the presidential election campaign has more or less come down to two candidates, members of both parties have opined that a thirdCandidate party candidate might Fred Squirrel be well received. One such possibility emerged this week with an announcement from a true political outsider. What follows is a brief interview. Q. You have said you’d make a good president. Why is that? A. When politics have been taken over by the nuts, I say it’s time for a squirrel. Q. Do you think the people of this country are ready to elect a rodent? A. I hardly think I’d be the first, not to mention the occasional skunk who has occupied the Oval Office at one time or the other. Besides, I’m small and furry, which everyone likes, I’ve never sent an email in my life and don’t need to comb my hair. Q. Your detractors say, jokingly, that you would work for peanuts. What’s your response? A. That’s blatant squirrelism and I, and many others like me, demand an apology. Q. What other traits would you bring to the office? A. For one, I would be the only one at a state dinner who could eat while hanging by his feet.
Q. What’s your take on building a wall separating us from Mexico. A. Let’s see, a country that can’t make a squirrel-proof bird feeder is going to build an impenetrable wall? Hahahahaha! Pinch me! Can’t breathe! Can’t breathe! Q. What about this “trans” controversy and gender issues? A. Hey, I’m still trying to figure out Chip and Dale — male, female, gender neutral, brother and sister, husband and wife, just friends? All we really know is they apparently never need to use the facilities. Otherwise, parents would have some explaining to do at the movies: “Look, daddy, Chip’s making doody!” Q. What about foreign policy? Again, your critics say all you can do is make meaningless gestures. A. Let me be very clear about this. As the ancient Chinese philosopher Squirrelfucious says, “When you don’t know what to do, it is better to flick your tail than to talk out of it.” Q. How about the economy? A. The economy isn’t that bad. The big problem is people don’t store enough for the winter. Ever hear of a squirrel with a mortgage? I rest my case. Q. Religion? A. Hairy krishna. Q. How do you assess your chances this late in the game? A. I may or may not win, but I guarantee you that I’ll bury the nuts in the process.
