3 COURSE DINNER Appetizer, Entree & Dessert

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Although the 2018 H2O International car rally now takes place in Atlantic City, Ocean City officials are preparing for a possible onslaught of water-cooled small foreign cars next weekend. During a Wednesday meeting of the Motor Events Task Force, Mayor Rick Rick Meehan Meehan said the entire resort will be designated a Special Event Zone with reduced speeds and increased fines starting next Tuesday through Sunday. The procedure will be repeated the following week for Endless Summer Cruisin, with Special Event Zones beginning on Tuesday Oct. 2 through that Sunday. Resort Police Chief Ross Buzzuro said regardless of the gathering in Atlantic City, a significant number of H2Oi enthusiasts are expected in town. “We have individuals that were being brazen and are determined to come into town with ill will,” he said. “We are gearing up for this nuisance event.” Unlike the policies employed during the spring motor events, all speed limit signs on Coastal Highway will be switched to 30 mph, Buzzuro said. “It will be consistent from the Delaware state line to the end of Coastal Highway,” he said. “We want to slow people down and keep people See RESORT Page 68

OC election candidate filing deadline Oct. 9

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) With less than three weeks until the Oct. 9 filing deadline for the Ocean City municipal election the candidate pool for mayor and three council seats is gaining some attention. In addition to City Council President Lloyd Martin and Councilman Matt James seeking reelection, soonto-be-retired OCPD Sgt. Mark Paddack is pursuing a council seat. Mayor Rick Meehan, who was first elected in 2006 after serving on council since 1985, is being opposed for this two-year term by Ocean City resident Joe Cryer. Since 2006, Cryer has staged several unsuccessful campaigns for council. Although Cryer was enlisted in the Navy for several years during the 1980s, later claims of being a Navy SEAL were subsequently debunked in the media. James, who won his first term four years ago, is the only council candidate to file at this point. During the 2014, campaign James garnered 1,666 of 2,348 votes to capture 71 percent of

ballots, the highest percentage in city history. “I feel strongly that our city government needs to be responsible to the taxpayer, operate efficiently, and be effective,” Joe Cryer said the Carousel Group property manager and member of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company member. “When I first ran for council … I often made the point that Ocean City taxpayers are essentially customers and deserve great service from city government and elected officials,” he said. Council President Lloyd Martin, who was first elected in 2002, has yet to file for a fifth term, but made his intentions clear. Speaking on Tuesday, Martin said he wanted summer to wind down before completing re-election paperwork. “We’re a little big town [and] it’s a

Hazardous waste day, Sept. 22 Continued from Page 3 Water-based paints are not hazardous materials and should be properly disposed of in the trash after solidifying by drying or adding absorbent materials, such as sand, kitty litter, or mulch, rather than brought to a hazardous waste event. Collecting hazardous waste for safe disposal saves landfill space and helps protect the environment, as many of these items do not degrade and contain poisonous materials that could seep out of the landfill and into surrounding soil and groundwater.

The collection is open at no charge to Worcester County residents only. This event is held in conjunction with Maryland Environmental Services and the Maryland Department of the Environment. A representative from the department of environment will be checking vehicle registration. Clean Ventures of Baltimore will be responsible for the safe disposal of all hazardous waste collected.

real commitment,” he said. “Once you file you’re in a run.” Council president since 2012, Martin said he ran a subdued campaign last go-round and avoided spending on advertising. “I wanted people to vote for me because they wanted me to be there,” he said. Paddack, who has joined OCPD in 1990, said despite having a deep interest in city government for several decades, legal standards prohibited previous involvement. “As a town of Ocean City employee, the charter prohibits a person … from being both boss and servant,” he said. “I’ve accepted that since the 1990s and waited until retirement.” With his exit from law enforcement set for Oct. 31, after 28 years in uniform Paddack would be eligible to serve on council following the Nov. 6 election.

Rick Meehan

“I’ve thought about this since the late 1980s,” he said. In addition his knowledge of how Ocean City works, Paddack said he has a solid reputation among residents and leaders in Ocean City “I’ve been vetted in this town for a long time,” he said. Paddack holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Baltimore. Resort voters will also be asked to consider a referendum to amend the town charter to allow the Ocean City Firefighters Union, IAFF Local 4269, to use binding interest arbitration to negotiate collective bargaining agreements. Under this change, if the city and the union reached an impasse, the dispute would be decided by a third party. In 2002, resort voters approved a collective bargaining with binding arSee OC Page 7

Wells Fargo buys 67th Street gym at auction

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) It’s almost a certainty the former World Gym building on 67th Street will be razed by city government, but that can’t happen until the city acquires the property from its new owner, Wells Fargo Bank, which bought it at a foreclosure auction for roughly $1.134 million last Friday. Last week, the Ocean City Council voted in closed session to proceed with condemnation proceedings for 107-109 67th Street parcel, which also was in the midst of foreclosure proceedings. Zeke’s World LLC, which had operated the gym, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2016, with liabilities up to $10 million and no more than $500,000 in assets. Larry Cooper, with Baltimore-based Alex Cooper Auction, conducted the onsite foreclosure sale at noon last Friday. The property contains two-freestanding buildings for the gym and associated

parking, which total more than 12,000 total square feet. City Manager Doug Miller said the parcel is in an area designated for a major infrastructure project. “We’re trying to secure properties between 65th-67th streets for the purpose

of tearing down and rebuilding a water treatment plant,” he said. Once the foreclosure sale is completed, Miller said the city can proceed with its efforts to buy the parcel at fair market value. “We notify the property owner and

then the property gets appraised,” he said. “The property owner has the ability to see the appraisal, [which] they can accept, or it goes to trial.” Miller said if all parties are agreeable on pricing, condemnation proceedings can move relativity quickly, but other legal matters could muck up the proceedings in this instance. “In uncomplicated issues, it’s a couple month process, but because it’s in bankruptcy court, there are more hoops to jump through,” he said. Chapter 11 bankruptcy gives a company time to reorganize with the aim of surviving a financial crisis. That process includes providing the court with a plan that details how the claims of creditors will be handled, which may or may not occur in this instance because of Zeke’s World’s loss of a major asset to foreclosure. Even then, the city’s exercise of eminent domain over the property will probably be allowed to proceed, with the courts deciding who will get the city’s check.

County sets public hearings for bill package

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Three proposed bills were introduced at the Worcester County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday in Snow Hill. Animal control Bill 18-4: Public Safety – Animal Control. The law requires animals not kept indoors to be provided suitable shelter for protection from the weather. The structure would be required to be appropriate for the size of animal using it. The bill also defines unsafe weather conditions and includes the addition of sections “v,” “w” and “x” regarding tethering, suitable shelter and shade. The sections provide detailed restrictions and requirements for protecting animals from dangerous weather and choking hazards. Tethering would prohibit the use of chains, ropes or choke collars as well as require a minimum 15 feet of length

and positioned to avoid tangling, hanging or drowning. The county commissioners unanimously agreed to introduce the bill, which is scheduled for a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Surface mining Bill 18-5: Zoning – Surface Mining. “Surface mining” means to excavate, dig or dredge for sand, gravel, soil and other minerals, not including concrete or asphalt-mixing plants or material removed from a development site as part of a normal cut-and-fill-operation. A bill draft was introduced to replace the current surface mining laws enacted in 1977. The draft includes the definition of surface mining as explained above, as well as standards to be met, specified requirements for the process and work vehicles, a review procedure, actions required from the board of appeals, and conditions regarding unsafe buildings and amendments. The commissioners unanimously

agreed to introduce the bill, which is scheduled for a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Bidding threshold Bill 18-6: County Government – Competitive Bidding Threshold. Another version of this measure was adopted by the county commissioners during their July 17 meeting. An amended version of that measure was presented to the commissioners Tues-

day. An amendment to the “Competitive Bidding” section of the County Code was added to the legislation, to reflect an increased threshold for purchasing items requiring competitive bidding from the original $10,000 to $25,000. All but two county commissioners agreed to introduce the bill, which will be the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

OC looks to recycle beach butts

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Ocean City and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program are undertaking dual campaigns to reduce and recycle cigarette butts discarded adjacent to the Boardwalk and outside resort dining establishments. Councilman Tony DeLuca said grants are being sought through the Worcester County Health Department to buy and install smoking receptacles along the west side of the Boardwalk. DeLuca highlighted the topic, which was discussed at the Green Team meeting on Sept. 12, during the City Council meeting on Tuesday. Public Works Director Hal Adkins and City Engineer Terry McGean are evaluating locations for designated smoking areas west of the Boardwalk, DeLuca said. “People are not smoking on the Boardwalk but are disposing of the butts at the end of the road before they step on or are going off the Boardwalk to smoke,” he said. To alleviate concerns that disposal container locations function as de facto smoking areas, DeLuca said placement of cigarette disposal receptacles would be coordinated with local property and business owners. “We want to prevent residents and [visitors] from having to walk through a group of smokers,” he said. Speaking before Tuesday’s council

meeting, DeLuca said cigarette butt receptacles could be incorporated in “dead zones,” within the Boardwalk barrier project, slated for completion for next season, along with the beginning of the ramps heading onto the boards. “We don’t want them on any of the west walkways,” he said. Sandi Smith, development and marketing coordinator for Maryland Coastal Bays Program, said discarded tobaccorelated products continue to top the list of litter found throughout the resort. In addition to the International Coastal Cleanup sponsored by Ocean Conservancy in early September, the Ocean City Surf Club Adopt-Your-Beach program and Dune Patrol have deemed cigarettes butts a pollutant of concern, Smith said. “Source reduction is our theme song right now,” she said. To complement the city’s efforts to provide expanded cigarette butt repositories, Smith is working with grant coordinator Wayne Pryor to fund a program to recycle butts collected by the town and area businesses. TerraCycle, a recycling business in Trenton, New Jersey launched a program in 2012 to recycle cigarette filters, which are produced from cellulose acetate, for use in making plastic shipping pallets and benches. “We’re chasing money to purchase cigarette receptacles to give to businesses that

are willing to make a pledge,” she said. To discourage people from tossing filters on the ground, Smith said businesses would be provided receptacles that feature messages about the harm filters do to waterways. “Please be responsible and smoke at those receptacles,” she said. “We put them out there because we’re going to recycle the butts” Smith said for every hundred pounds of butts shipped to TerraCycle, one dollar is donated to Trash Free America. “The town of Ocean City is going to put their butts aside, so to speak, and they’re going to get recycled as well,” she said. Smith said Adkins estimated approxSee OC Page 10

TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION BRIEFS (Sept. 21, 2018) The Transportation Committee discussed the following topics during its meeting last Tuesday.

Bus ridership and staffing Transit Manager Mark Rickards said bus ridership was up two percent this August compared to last, continuing the slight uptick recorded during July. Labor Day Weekend was also up 11 percent compared to last year. Rickards also noted tram ridership has increased roughly seven percent from last season. Turning to bus/tram driver recruitment and retention efforts, Human Resource Director Wayne Evans championed drawing staff from within the community. “We need to continue to offer training for bus drivers to develop our own CDL drivers,” he said.

Peaking at 138 bus drivers in July, Rickards said staffing levels have been a touch below the 148-member crew from 2017, eventually dwindling to 118 drivers by August. “We still had sufficient drivers to make deployments and headways,” he said. “We had to pay some overtime to meet deployment needs.” By contrast, Rickards said the tram division maintained a pool of 46 evenly divided between drivers and conductors. “We haven’t had a lot of people up and quit and say it’s not for us,” he said.

Uber/Lyft revenue impact Public Works Director Hal Adkins talked about the continued proliferation of ride sharing services and the growing impact on transit ridership See TRANSPORTATION Page 11

OC targets smokers tossing butts with more receptacles Continued from Page 8 imately half dozen 55-gallon drums filled with butts were added to the trash stream last year from receptacles near the Boardwalk and on the beach. “All those are butts that aren’t going

into the water or on the beach,” she said. If the current efforts yield fruit, Smith said that figure could top 600 pounds in 2019. “We know we’re going to double the number next year,” she said.

Ocean Pines dismissed from Brett Hill’s election lawsuit

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Ocean Pines Association was dismissed from a lawsuit that still involves a former director and interim general manager and a current board member, a representative from the Worcester County Clerk of Court’s office confirmed on Wednesday. Brett Hill, the plaintiff, is alleging his application to run for the board was rejected in violation of Ocean Pines bylaws and filed a lawsuit in Worcester County Circuit Court in June against the board and Director Colette Horn, who was responsible for disqualifying him as a candidate. According to Horn, Hill was not eligible because he had not paid his property assessments by the May 15 deadline stipulated in the election rules. In an Aug. 8 motion to dismiss, the association’s attorney, Thomas J. Whiteford, argued the “Board of Directors of Ocean Pines Association Inc.” named in the lawsuit was “not a legal entity having the capacity to be

sued.” “The sole reference to ‘Board of Directors’ is within the framework of the Bylaws and other governing documents of the entity known as Ocean Pines Association, Inc,” he said. Circuit Court Judge Brian D. Shockley apparently agreed, signing the order to dismiss Ocean Pines from the case. The order was signed on Tuesday and entered by the clerk of court on Wednesday. Whiteford also represents Horn and in an Aug. 2 court filing on her behalf denied allegations that the rejection of Hill’s application violated association bylaws. No ruling on that motion has yet been entered. According to court records, no other motions have been filed by Hill, Horn or Ocean Pines since Aug. 8. Records show a settlement hearing in the matter of Brett Hill vs. Colette Horn is scheduled Nov. 19 and a trial is set for Dec. 17 at 9:30 a.m., to be presided over by Judge Beau Oglesby. Horn declined to comment and Hill did not respond to requests for comment.

TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION BRIEFS Continued from Page 10 and revenue. In July 2016, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation to collect 25 cents for trips through online ride sharing platforms. Adkins said the revenue stream, which totaled $36,800 during fiscal 2017, grew by 68 percent to reach $61,978 in fiscal 2018. “It has nothing to do with the number of people in the vehicle, it’s based on the number of rides given,” he said. Although not all ride sharing users would have otherwise used transit services, Adkins said the impact in undeniable. “There are many things that will whittle away at ridership and revenue numbers,” he said.

VW mitigation funds Transit Administrative Manager Brian Connor reviewed a grant application for $700,000 of a $2.9 billion Volkswagen mitigation fund which was divided among all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In October 2016, Volkswagen settled U.S. government claims about diesel engines violating the Clean Air Act and EPA emission standards between 2009-2015, agreeing to pay $2.92 billion which was divided among states based on regional sales figures. Pryor, who is currently completing the grant application, said the funds would be earmarked for a transit bus

purchase, with one possibility being a 70-foot articulating bus. Connor noted Maryland has $4 million available for public transit purchases. Councilman Dennis Dare, who questioned the probability of receiving $700,000 for the larger articulating bus, said including a matching costshare amount would increase those odds. City Manager Miller said Pryor had previously suggested a less costly traditional size bus would be more likely to gain funding traction. Dare noted an articulating bus, with capacity for 100 people versus 60 in single engine vehicles, would provide beneficial operational cost savings. “Articulating buses save money every year,” he said. Adkins said the application is still being finalized and Pryor should be informed if matching funds are located.

Bus shelter lighting Adkins said a pilot program for solar lighting in bus shelters would cost approximately $11,000 and evaluate variable solar devices at six locations. Budget Manager Jennie Knapp said the funds are available with a precise source determined after fiscal 2018 numbers are finalized “I can probably shake it out of transportation fund,” she said. Adkins said the goal is to have six test locations installed within six months.

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) An intoxicated man accused of trying to break down the door of a home on Dolphin Street in Ocean City was arrested Thursday night. Aaron Michael Dill, 38, of York, Pennsylvania, was charged with disorderly intoxication and malicious destruction of property, according to an arrest report from Worcester County District Court. Police responded around 9 p.m. on Sept. 13 in reference to a breaking and entering in progress. Prior to the arrival of police, the homeowner told his wife to call 911 and take their children to another room, the report said. The homeowner allegedly confronted the man, later identified as Dill, and asked what he was doing. “Trying to [kick] the door in,” Dill said. When police arrived, they reported seeing the homeowner holding Dill at gunpoint. Dill was seen outside, licking the window of the home, police said. Police told the homeowner to put the

gun down and ordered Dill to “get on the ground!” Both complied. Dill told police he was directed to the residence by a friend – but could not provide his or her description – and had no knowledge of where he was or who the homeowners were, the report said. Dill admitted he was intoxicated and police said they smelled alcohol and witnessed Dill’s slurred speech and glassy, bloodshot eyes. The report did not specify whether he was tested for alcohol or other substances. When speaking with Dill, an officer said he noticed Dill’s pants become wet and could smell urine and fecal matter, according to the report. The homeowner said he did not know Dill and Dill never entered the home. There was an estimated $30 damage from a tear in the rear screen door, the report said. Dill was arrested and later released on his own recognizance. His next court appearance is scheduled at 9 a.m. on Oct. 15 in courtroom one of the Worcester County District Court in Ocean City.

More than 800 attend summer ed. programs

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Summer wasn’t at a complete educational standstill for many Worcester County public school students, hundreds of whom took part the public school system’s summer academies. Tamara Mills, the coordinator of summer academies, and Jennifer Sills, coordinator of science, reported Tuesday on the Summer Academy program that drew more than 800 students. During the summer, 853 students participated in the program, with an 83 percent attendance rate. This is a seven percent increase from last

Bertino schedules town hall meeting Saturday, Sept. 29

(Sept. 21, 2018) Worcester County Commissioner Chip Bertino will hold a town meeting on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. at the Ocean Pines library. He will discuss issues and developments affecting the Ocean Pines district and the county. Bertino’s guests will be county schools Superintendent Lou Taylor and representatives from Worcester County Commission on Aging. Taylor is scheduled to give an update on the construction of the new Showell Elementary School and the results of the most recent student testing. Representatives from the aging commission will talk about the new Maryland Community For Life Program, a state project in Ocean Pines designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors living in the community. Commissioner Jim Bunting, whose district includes a part of Ocean Pines, will join the meeting as well.

year’s 793. Programs took place over 20 days within five, four-day weeks. “When we can prevent summer slide and we can give kids opportunities to have those remediation and enrichment opportunities, we need to do that,” Mills said. According to Mills, GPA and assessment results increase as a result of comprehensive orientation programs. “When we do our county surveys, we have an overwhelming number of parents who say they really see benefits and value in this program beyond daycare,” she continued. “They really do see it as ways for their children to learn with that additional time.” The presentation showcased the activities students participated in that allowed them to interact with the design process and problem solving.

Nan Howe, organizer of the elementary summer program, gave her insight during the presentation. “During this program, we used build-a-kits,” Howe said. “These build-a-kits came with 40 lessons for teachers. The teachers came and met in … we created this camp-like atmosphere for [the children]. When I would visit all the classrooms, they were involved, the teachers were giving awards every morning. “The teachers used these build-akits that suited their students,” she continued. “The teachers had handson lessons every day.” Elementary grades created and designed objects like playgrounds, treehouses, waterslides, and living structures such as cabins and teepees. Eventually, the students were able to conduct more projects at

Frontier Town and visit examples of the designs they were making. Meanwhile, middle schoolers focused on more advanced concepts like designing working human/animal prosthetics. Students also read the story about Winter, the dolphin who lost her tail and received a prosthetic one. “We feel that the middle and high school summer programs really help prepare kids for the workforce,” Mills said. “We pride ourselves on working with those subgroups and getting those students additional opportunities.” High school participants focused on making sure all students are college and career ready, with remediation and transition courses, and also studied bridge construction and designs.

Eyesore cottage to be torn down Demolition bids accepted until Oct. 5 for old house in Ocean City in disrepair

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) A 60-year-old house sitting vacant and in disrepair near the Delaware state line will be demolished, following the failure of the original owners’ surviving family members to claim the property. The property, a single-story cottage located on 13412 Madison Avenue off Route 54 was owned Raymond and Jeanette Quillen, who passed away in 1994 and 2006, respectively. The property received a nuisance abatement review two weeks earlier. Edward Tudor, county director of development review and permitting, told the Worcester County Commissioners of the property’s abysmal state on Tuesday, Sept. 4. Several complaints have been made against the property regarding its high grass and dilapidated appearance. “This is a property we have been dealing with for some time,” Tudor said during the early September hearing. “We’ve had several problems over the last couple of years with grass being cut on site, and, of course, the building itself has not looked its best.” According to the Worcester County

code regarding health-related nuisances, conditions for a property to be declared a nuisance include uncontrolled growth of weeds or grass to a height exceeding one-foot, as well as a structure which is dilapidated, burnedout, fallen-down, ramshackled, or decayed, and is beyond hope of rehabilitation or restoration. The county attempted to contact family members with letters sent on Sept. 5, but letters were returned as undeliverable on Wednesday, Sept. 12.

In light of that, Tudor asked for and received the commissioners permission Tuesday permission to call for bids for the demolition and removal of the property. Five demolition services were on Tudor’s list of potential bidders for demolition and removal: Absolute Demolition, Miller’s Land Service, Bennett Construction, Scrimgeor’s Farm All LLC and Beauchamp Construction. The bids will be due Oct. 5.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The Worcester P25 Radio System once again came before the county commissioners to discuss updates and progress made during the testing stage of the new communications system. Director of Emergency Services Fred Webster appeared before the county commissioners in Snow Hill Tuesday to provide the latest updates for the system in the hope that it would appease some concerns made about the quality of the new communication service and how it affects police radios and other emergency service transmissions. Commissioner Anthony “Chip” Bertino particularly expressed outrage at the operation issues affecting several different factions throughout the county, particularly for police radios during the last update on Aug. 21. “What are the resolutions to some of these issues,” Bertino asked during the August hearing. “We have the sheriff’s office which hasn’t been able to transmit in some instances, or partial information they were able to transmit. What’s the solution to the problems that have been identified?” Webster assured the commission-

ers than no more radio problems have been reported by the police, fire or EMS since the latest update. In addition, a significant amount of testing was conducted between Friday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept. 9, and was completed the next day. According to Webster, the testing, coordinated with Federal Engineering provided remote support to county staff on issues related to test methodology, equipment setup and ensuring equipment calibration. All new areas were tested for “delivered audio quality,” where personnel ensured that voice transmissions meet the contractual requirement of “DAQ 3.4” defined as “Speech understandable without repetition, some noise or distortion present.” Additionally, county staff contributed approximately 300 manhours to other signal testing in specified areas. Harris Corp. was expected to have a formal results presentation on Monday, Sept. 17. Federal Engineering will perform an independent analysis on the test data and provide guidance to the county regarding the acceptance of the test results. Another update can be expected at the beginning of October.

Yoga controversy causes school to replace program

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) Local religious groups who complained that yoga elements in a mindfulness program at Buckingham Elementary School were anti-Christian apparently contributed to the program’s removal this year. Students went back to the Berlin school this month, but “Mindfulness Moments” reportedly did not return with them. The program, which included pretaped video segments, was described as an extension of the daily morning announcements that invited students to take part in a “mini 6-10-minute mindfulness moment session to help them positively start off their day.” According to a description, “Each mindful moment clip is themed to keep kids engaged and includes breathing exercises, calming techniques, and mindful movements to promote social and emotional growth by providing tools to cope with obstacles or challenges children may face throughout their day.” The series was funded by a grant from the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund and featured local children’s yoga instructor Berkleigh Diaz and licensed clinical therapist Jayme Mahoney. SonRise Church Pastor Daryl McCready stated his case against the morning ritual – and specifically its yogic components – during his March 26 service in Berlin and in a Facebook post after witnessing the program at the invitation of school officials. McCready announced during his March 25 sermon that he and pastors from Ocean City Baptist Church, the Worship Center, and the River Church of the Nazarene had been invited to view the program. On the following day, March 26, McCready posted on Facebook about what he saw at Buckingham. “The lie that people can be as God or are gods themselves and only need to discover their inner higher self or that they possess the power to heal others by ‘their positive energy’ or that they can bring about their preferred future by the

power of their own positive thinking is an old lie from the Father of Lies. God’s people should have nothing to do with such things,” McCready said at the time. He added, “I understand not all yoga practices are spiritually focused, but the foundation of yoga and many practices are of unbiblical nature and to be avoided by believers. The warning for us is that we ought not be supportive of anything that leads people away from God and the truth. Stretching is not the problem – yoga is. “Even though some exercise called yoga may not be evil, there is a whole lot of evil practices occurring in this town under the name of yoga,” McCready said. “Yoga seeks to draw and recruit people and in some cases indoctrinate them to false truths and practices.” The pressure was apparently too much for the school. “The Mindfulness Moments program was reevaluated after its pilot year in our school,” Buckingham Principal Karen Marx said in a statement last week. “Interpreting the variety of feedback we received, Buckingham has decided to re-implement the research-based program called ‘Second Step’ moving forward. ‘Second Step’ still provides our students with the critical components of social-emotional wellness that students and families loved about the previous mindfulness program. However, ‘Second Step’ provides a robust, Department of Education-endorsed curriculum as well as supporting materials for the home. “We are incredibly grateful for the partners that helped us bring to life the ‘Mindfulness Moments’ pilot program last year, as it gave our school the opportunity to more fully address a critical need for our students. We look forward to continuing our work with social-emotional wellness with ‘Second Step.’” Some parents, including PTA President Jeffrey Smith, said they were sad to see the program go. “I am concerned that, on the surface, it appears as though Worcester County Schools caved to a religious organizaSee MINDFULNESS Page 20

Continued from Page 19 tion,” Smith said. “To me, this sets a precedent in which any church can come to the county and complain about some program or another and expect change. “No outside person or organization should be allowed to dictate curriculum or educational policy either at the county level, or at any individual school,” he continued. “Doing so does a disservice to the students, teachers, and administrators at Buckingham Elementary and to Worcester County’s exceptional school district as a whole. “I am saddened for the loss of a program that seemed to have such a positive effect on my own child. I saw it in her demeanor every day, in the more positive way she went to school every morning, and in the positive outlook she had at the end of every school day,” Smith said. Kim Klump, founder of the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, in March said her nonprofit hoped to fund a program similar to “Mindfulness Moments” for the Worcester County Board of Education to implement next school year for all elementary schools. At the time, Klump said, “All of Buckingham (administrators, staff, teachers, and guidance counselors) were onboard with this program. I, myself, teach once a month along with my outreach coordinator, Shawntel Hall. So, I personally

fully support the program.” Now, it appears the larger program, along with “Mindfulness Moments,” has come to an end. “We at the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund Inc. supported this program financially and helped by teaching some classes,” Klump said in a statement last week. “We received feedback from teachers, parents and students that convinced us that the program was making a difference in how these kids handled negative emotions and how it reduced friction in the classroom. Learning these valuable coping skills at a young age, we hope, will reduce the occurrence of mental illness in the future, which should reduce suicide rates as well.” A representative from the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund this week sent copies of 33 handwritten letters from Buckingham third graders, thanking Diaz and Mahoney for teaching the program. Among them, were: “Thank you for doing Mindful Moments. The Mindful Moments helped me learn yoga poses. Can you do it next year?” -Ronan; “If I could change anything, all I would do is put my mom in that too. I wonder how you made Mindful Moments? I have been very calm this year.” -Chase Diaz and Mahoney declined to comment on this story, and officials from SonRise Church also declined to comment further.

County teacher induction program

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Teachers about to come into the Worcester County public school system can get a better idea of what it does and how it does it via a “new teacher induction program.” Presented for discussion at Tuesday’s board of education session in Newark, the program will take a twopronged approach to finding the kinds of teacher the county wants and introducing them to the local system. “One of the most important jobs a

school system has is to recruit and hire the most highly qualified teachers,” said Shirleen Church, who handles the placement of teaching interns. “But the second important job is that once we get these teachers, is provide the best support system.” Through these internships, interns can become more familiar with the form and function of Worcester’s public schools, and then transitition into the classom with the support of veteran teachers. The four-day induction program

allows new teachers to learn about the school’s policies, familiarize themselves with practices and begin working with their mentors, according to a Board of Education presentation. Worcester County Public Schools has 108 non-tenured teachers, according to findings. New teachers can participate in New Teacher Nights throughout the school year on Sept. 19, Oct. 10, Nov. 14, Dec. 19, Jan. 16, Feb. 20, March 20, April 17, and May 15 in the central office.

DUI suspect leaves accident scene

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Michelle Sue Wiles, 41, of Boonsboro, Maryland, was arrested in connection with driving under the influence and hit-and-run Saturday night on 130th Street, according to charging documents in Maryland District Court. Wiles is facing charges of giving a false statement to police, DUI and failing to stop after an accident, according to the report. Around 9:46 p.m. Saturday, police answered a call about a car crash up-

town, where the driver of a GMC Sierra said the driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe, later identified as Wiles, hit the back of the her car a red light at the intersection of 127th Street and Coastal Highway. According to the report, Wiles allegedly continued driving, and the driver of the GMC followed her to the intersection of 130th Street and Assawoman Drive. Following the collision, Wiles got out of her car, apologized to the driver to the driver of the GMC and proposed paying for damages to the vehicle, according to the police report.

The driver of the GMC then said he was going to call the police, and Wiles allegedly left the scene on foot, according to the report. Police found her at the intersection of 129th Street and Wight Street. An officer said Wiles denied involvement in the crash, according to the report. Wiles added she had just gotten married and was trying to get home, but the driver of the GMC later identified Wiles as a suspect in the crash. Wiles was released on her own recognizance and will appear in court Nov. 26 in Snow Hill.

Annual Sunfest festival underway, runs through Sun.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The 44th annual Ocean City Sunfest celebration is underway, featuring four days of arts and crafts, live music, food and vendors in the inlet parking lot. The festival, which marks the end of the summer season, kicked off Thursday, Sept. 20, in downtown Ocean City under large tents with more than 300 vendors and food booths filled with many one-of-akind items and tasty treats. Sunfest 2017 drew 235,637 people to the inlet parking lot over four days. It was the second-largest attendance in the festival’s 43-year history. In 2016, the event brought in a recordbreaking 251,000 visitors. “Sunfest started as the Save Six for September event,” Ocean City Special Events Director Frank Miller said. “As that event grew and became more popular and had more vendors and adding music, they ended up moving down to the inlet parking lot. There’s a long history for this event but in all

of its years, it’s always been food, crafts and entertainment. That hasn’t changed in the 44 years this town has been producing this event.” In addition to music, food and purchasing unique items from the 300-plus vendors, demonstrations will be set up throughout the venue. The Eastern Shore International Mountain Bike Association will have a fat-tire bike demo, where guests can take a fat-tired bike out to the sand and ride on the beach. The Ocean City Police Department

will also have K-9 demonstrations throughout the weekend. Children’s activities such as sand art, inflatable rides, hay rides and “Paint your own Beach” scenes will also be available. “My hope is that patrons will continue to enjoy a great family friendly event in Ocean City,” Miller said. “Sunfest has been a free stable, fun event for over four decades and we always juggle meeting expectations of patrons who want to see favorite bands and vendors year after year See TAKE Page 27

Participants must be at least 18 years old. Treasure hunters should meet in front of the Boardwalk store 30 minutes before the dig for a briefing on the rules. Participants can wear gloves, but may not use shovels or buckets. The hunt takes place rain or shine.

More than 300 vendors set up for Ocean City’s Sunfest

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Bonsai trees, fried dumplings, clothing and handcrafted jewelry are a few of the items visitors can expect to see showcased by vendors in the inlet parking lot during the 44th annual Sunfest festival this weekend. “Sunfest always has demand for vendors,” Ocean City Special Events Director Frank Miller said. “We typically have a lot of the same vendors but they’re coming up with new products, new versions of what they sell. I love to see what’s new and interesting. “You’ll find our Thursday crowd [is] the big buyers,” he continued. “They [come] to see what’s there and new. Some vendors will be sold out within two days of the four-day event.” Humpty Dumplings owner Nikolaus Freedman of Philadelphia, will be serving fried dumplings during Sunfest, which are made to order, with unique flavors and seasonings. “I’m excited to do it,” Freedman said. “I’ve heard good things talking to some other vendors. I heard it [gets] pretty busy and it sounds like there’s going to be a lot of people coming through. It sounds like we’ll be busy.” The dumplings, deep fried in vegetable oil, will contain several flavors such as Philly Cheesesteak, and Honey Chipotle chicken, broccoli and cheddar. For a sweeter treat, Humpty Dumplings will provide an Oreo cheesecake dumpling. “We do a lot of different flavors and people can mix and match the flavors,” Freedman said. “They can try every dumpling they want.” To see what kinds of dumplings are offered by Humpty Dumplings, visit the food truck’s Instagram page at Humpty’s Mobile. More than 300 arts and crafts, food, local, commercial, regional and corporate vendors will fill the Sunfest tents with an assortment of items

from yard art and photography to pottery, bacon specialty foods, pit beef and LuLaRoe. “It’s fun to go around and see what’s new and interesting,” Miller said. “Often you can find things that you’ve never seen before and with 300 vendors on site, there’s always something, even though you may have been coming year after year to Sunfest. It’s like a big treasure hunt.” Returning for her third year, Monika Figueroa will be selling her Czechoslovakian-styled handmade glass buttons and jewelry during the festival. “I’m from Pennsylvania so it’s nice to be by the water and I kind of like the atmosphere,” Figueroa said. “It’s a really nice show.” Marking her 24th consecutive year at Sunfest, Anita Chapman, from West Virginia, will display Anita’s County Keepsakes, unique painted antiques and furniture hand carved by her husband, Brad. “We started doing this show when we first started doing arts and crafts full time,” Chapman said. “Around 25 years ago, a friend called and said he was doing a show on the beach and he said, ‘You’ve got to come down here and look at it.’ So we drove down and checked it out and got very excited, and that was the end of that. “I would never give it up,” she continued. “It’s a lot of fun to do and I just love Ocean City. Customers are very loyal and we have a really good following.” In addition to pine furniture

Guests can find a wide variety of tasty treats in the food tent during Sunfest, held in the inlet parking lot this weekend.

crafted by her husband, Chapman paints country designs such as roosters, sunflowers and Black-Eyed Susan’s on antiques such as teapots, old heaters and milk cans. “You got to change with the times, and that’s the key to staying in business,” Chapman said. “You’ve got to be able to change with what’s new and coming in. We’ve been fortunate enough to do that.” Guests can watch 12 artists create wares in the demonstration tent and purchase them on the spot including Laurie Leonard, from Pennsylvania, who will be making jewelry from watercolor paintings she designed as well as sculpting the settings. This is Leonard’s first year at Sunfest. “I have no idea what to expect,”

Leonard said. “I’ve known about the show for a long time, and several friends of mine have done it in the past, and so they did really well and I decided I wanted to give it a try.” Leonard will demonstrate how to make settings out of pewter and will design jewelry out of water color paintings she created. “The whole idea is to have something unique [that] someone can’t buy somewhere else,” Leonard said. “I’ll demonstrate a watercolor painting and then show the completed jewelry with the painting inside of it.” To view Leonard’s designs, visit www.laurieleonarddesigns.com.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The 40th annual Kite festival began Thursday and runs until Sunday on the beach between Fourth and Sixth streets. Hundreds of colorful kites of all shapes, sizes and styles will take over the Ocean City sky during the free four-day event. “Kite flying is a really fun family activity,” said Jay Knerr, manager of the Kite Loft, which hosts the event. “It’s something any family or age range can do. It’s fun to get out there as a family. It could be a simple diamond kite and just go out and enjoy the day. “People love it,” he continued. “It brings them back to their childhood and there’s something very therapeutic about flying a kite on the beach.” Popular favorites such as mermaids, angels, octopi, alligators, trilobites, Mel the giant whale, Whisper the Winged Horse, dragons, Woodstock and Snoopy, among others, will dominate the sky. Two new giant kites will also be debuted, but will not be revealed until the weekend, according to Knerr. “I’m going to leave them as a surprise,” he said.

In addition, there will be quad line demos throughout the festival. Quad kites are four-line kites flown in formation. Several times during the festival as many as 16 quad flyers will stand side by side, flying to music in perfect formation. Other activities include the popular Candy Drop, where candy is released from a kite. This event will take place Saturday and Sunday. Mike Van Meers, the event coordinator, will be directing all activities on the beach. Meers’ favorite event is Boardwalk Dancing, according to Knerr. Boardwalk Dancing is an event where people of different age groups listen to music and dance, then be judged for prizes. On Saturday at 1 p.m. the Kite Loft will hand out free kites to the first 60 children who stop by the shop. Only those between the ages of 5 and 12 are eligible for the free kite. Professionals will help the children assemble and launch the kite right on the beach at Fifth Street. The event is free to participate. Activities will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. For more information, call 410289-7855 or visit www.kiteloft.com.

Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show at OC convention ctr. By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The 35th annual Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show will take place at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, this weekend. Dozens of vendors will showcase their wares at the convention center. The show, sponsored by Treasures of the Earth, has displayed jewels and minerals for nearly four decades. “It’s something an awful lot of people in the Ocean City area enjoy,” Organizer Ellen White said. “We have vendors from multiple states who participate in the show – everything from fine jewelry, sterling silver, handcrafted [jewelry], wire wrapped and just about every type of jewelry you can imagine.” Last year, around 1,200 people attended the show. “It’s something that appeals to all ages,” White said. “There is such a wide array of different types of jewelry and

minerals which really attract a lot of people nowadays. We’ve seen a huge increase in the last five years of people becoming interested and people of all ages, even children. It’s a real popular thing.” Many vendors also offer loose stones and gems, as well as Do-It-Yourself beadwork and other supplies. The gem show takes place today from noon to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets for the show cost $5 each. Children 16 and under get in for free. Tickets are good for the entire weekend. Visit www.treasuresoftheearth. com for a $1 discount, which can be used for the whole group or individually. For more information, contact White at ellen@treasuresoftheearth. com or visit www.treasuresoftheearth.com.

Out of the Darkness Walk on OC Boardwalk, Saturday By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The annual Ocean City Out of the Darkness Walk, which offers light, hope and support to family and friends of individuals lost to suicide, embarks from the Boardwalk at Caroline Street at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Ronald Pilling, of the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund who coordinates the walk, said despite the seemingly foreboding focus, participants typically pull together for mutual resolution and understanding. “When you think about hundreds of people on the Boardwalk, each who are grieving someone who lost their life to suicide, it sounds like a downer,” he said. “In fact, it is exactly the opposite, it serves as a healing tool.” The 10-block stroll, is organized by the Jesse Klump Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and a multitude of partners, including: Worcester Youth & Family Counseling Services, the Worcester County Health Department, Local Management Board and Local Behavioral Health Authority. Additional sponsors include the Life Crisis Center, Seaside Counseling & Wellness Center, Harrison House of Snow Hill, Seacrets on 49th Street and Atlantic General Hospital. The annual oceanside stroll helps raise awareness and gather funding to address a health issue often thrust into the shadow, Pilling said. “Who better to do that than people who have lost loved ones and … taken the opportunity of that tragedy to turn it into something good by testifying to their

devotion to those people and to suicide prevention,” he said. Although suicide, and related preventative efforts, could be deemed “grim topics,” Pilling said the annual September gathering aids a number of uplifting ends. “For the walkers, it serves as a memorial and … that the lives, even though they were lost prematurely … were worth having lived and worth memorializing,” he said. Unlike maladies medical researchers labor to cure, Pilling said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports treating suicidal tendencies involves decreasing risk factors and increasing protective factors. “The CDC once called suicide the most preventable public health crisis in America,” he said. Jessica Sexauer, Worcester County Health Department’s Local Management Board director, who is co-chair of the walk, said as of Monday more than $27,000 of a $40,000 fundraising target has been raised this year. The Out of the Darkness walk primarily raises money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, although a portion of the funding filters back to Worcester County to support psychological first aid services, as well as prevention and grief-counseling programs. Last year, the event drew 532 walkers who brought in more than $33,000, Sexauer said. “We will have resources available that day for anyone interested in learning more about mental health and substance See CELEBRATION Page 33

Celebration of Life at Church of the Holy Spirit in OC, Fri. Continued from Page 31 abuse services available,” she said. Sexauer noted a Celebration of Life gathering is scheduled on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Spirit, 10001 Coastal Highway. The meeting will provide an opportunity for suicide survivors, and others experiencing grief, to commemorate loved ones with shared memories, Sexauer said. Pilling has noticed a recurring theme while working with a support group for people impacted by the suicide that meets monthly in Berlin. “They all say pretty much the same thing, ‘I thought I was the only one out there going through this [or] had suffered this kind of grief,” he said. Pilling described heart-warming moments when new attendees recognize the support network provided. “If you haven’t been through that I don’t think there is any way you can understand the … battle that is,” he said. To add a fresh touch to the annual community walk, Sexauer said this year the ending ceremony will place a slew of tiny teal and purple flags on the beach in the shape of a suicide prevention awareness ribbon.

More than 340 walkers had already registered as of Monday, with more than 400 anticipated to take part, Sexauer said. “We had lots of walk-up registrations last year,” she said. For the general public, Pilling said prevention efforts focus on teaching signs to recognize, while simultaneously making people comfortable broaching the topic. “Do I know of someone who might be struggling right now, because we all do, if so can I do something about it because suicide is eminently preventable,” he said. To pre-register for the Out of the Darkness Walk, contact Sexauer or Monica Martin at 410-632-3648, or email monica.martin@maryland.gov. More information can be found online at facebook.com/oceancityOOTD. Participants may also register the day of the event with check-in beginning at 9 a.m. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 31. To seek assistance, call the Life Crisis Center crisis hotline at 410-749-HELP or the National Crisis Hotline at 1-800273-8255.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The 17th annual Believe in Tomorrow Beach Bash will take place Monday, Sept. 24, at Seacrets on 49th Street, with food, beer, raffle prizes and the chance to win $10,000 during the popular end of summer event. The annual party raises funds for the Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street, which is open year-round to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. “It’s a great event. I have people that will call me even though it’s always set Monday after Sunfest,” Wayne Littleton, Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program coordinator, said. “They will call me a week later asking when’s the next one. We have a lot of people come in town for it. They’ll plan their vacation around this. It’s a nice evening.” More than 30 restaurants will showcase their specialties or off-season menus during the event. Seacrets and Harborside Bar and Grille have participated in the bash since its inception. “The restaurants, they make the event,” Littleton said. “They showcase their foods, and they can do whatever they want. What better way to showcase your business than to show your product. They can put out menus, off-season specials. They do a wonderful job. They donate all the food. “It’s a fun night and look at the restaurant list, there’s a little bit of everything on there,” he continued. “I [personally] could do without the food and I just hit the Dumsers ice cream, Sweet Disposition and other desserts like cupcakes and cakes. That’s all I want that night. Where else can you go for $50 and sample

If someone’s not there, the game has to continue unless they win or they get knocked out.” This year, there will be three raffle contests. The first set will have purple tickets, the second will be orange, and the third will be brown. There will be five $500 winners and one $10,000 winner each game. “It gets pretty exciting. There’s always someone who wants to go for [$10,000],” Littleton said. Other activities will take place as well, but according to Littleton, you have to be there to find out. “We like to have a little fun,” he

said. “I throw a few surprises in, no one will know until the night of the event, not even my staff. This year, we’re including something that’s returning from a prior bash.” Tickets come close to selling out every year and can be purchased in advance for $50 by calling Littleton at 410-723-2842. Or, buy tickets at the door for $55 for the food sampling or $100 for the food sampling plus the raffle. Proceeds will help the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street provide a memorable experience for families.

Ninth annual Paint Berlin event this weekend

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) People in and around the Berlin area are likely to see dozens of plein air painters working in various outdoor locales this weekend, as the ninth annual Paint Berlin event returns. While registration is full, work produced during the four-day event will be on display during a free public art reception at the Worcester County Arts Council building on 6 Jefferson Street on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. An awards presentation is scheduled for noon, and people attending the reception will have a chance to meet many of the artists and purchase work, much of it literally fresh from the easel. Arts Council Executive Director Anna Mullis, during an August interview, said the event had become popular among regional plein air painters, with many returning year after year. Painting “en plein air,” which roughly translates to “in the open

air,” refers to a 19th-century style of painting outdoors popularized by French impressionists. Paint Berlin participants in recent years have produced work in a variety of styles, from the traditional impressionist approach, to realism, and even contemporary abstract painting. Artists in the competition are permitted to paint anywhere within a five-mile radius of the arts council building. The area was in recent years expanded to also include Assateague Island, Ayers Creek and St. Martin’s Church. For the first time this year, painters are allowed to work in Ocean Pines as well.

CELEBRATING

“I think the artists really appreciated [the expanded area], since many of them like to be on the water,” Mullis said. “This is such a wonderful time of the year, when you actually enjoy being outside in September.” Awards for the competition are $1,000 for first place, $500 for second place, $250 for third place and $100 for honorable mention, artist’s choice, board of director’s choice and the Maryland Legislator’s Award. Bradley Hudson, University of Maryland Eastern Shore professor and coordinator of sequential arts, will judge the competition. Additionally, a quick-draw contest

will be held for the first time on Friday, Sept. 21 from 9-11 a.m. “There is a specific area for the artist to paint, so they will be given an area to focus on and it only will take two hours to complete the panting,” Mullis said. “They can use any medium they choose.” Local artist Doris Glovier will judge the quick draw and the winner will take home $100. Mullis thanked sponsors the Town of Berlin and the Joan W. Jenkins Foundation. For more information, call 410641-0809 or visit www.worcestercountyartscouncil.org.

Walker provides steamed mussels in aromatics recipe

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Mussels have been a well-kept secret among seafood lovers for years, but the tide is definitely turning. These distinctive blue-black shells and narrow wedge mollusks are appearing more and more on menus. In addition, home cooks are discovering that their meaty texture is embellished with a natural sweetness that makes them hard to resist. There are several types of mussels, but we will be focusing on the North Atlantic blue mussel. This particular type of mussel found from Canada to the Carolinas is not originally native to our shores. It is believed they reached America by hitching a ride on the hulls of vessels sailing to the Colonies from Europe. Migration was easy since the mussels begin their life as free-swimming “spat.” According to The Encyclopedia of New Zealand, spat develop from a floating larval stage. The larvae attach themselves to seaweed or rope and develop into miniature shellfish. They move from site to site until they attach themselves permanently to a settlement site. Once the mussels are ready for consumption, the first consideration is to make certain that they are alive. A live mussel will always keep its shell closed, or will close when handled. Throw away any mussel with an unpleasant odor, a broken shell, or a mussel in which the shell remains

open. Cleaning the mussels is your next task at hand. A good soaking in cold water is highly recommended. Scrub the shells and remove the infamous “beard” which anchors the mussel to its lodging place. This can be done by taking a dull knife and pulling the beard away from the shell. However, removing the beard kills the mussel, so perform this step as close to the cooking stage as possible. It is important to mention that today most mussels are cultivated on long ropes suspended from rafts, which leaves them free of grit and sand, and for the most part, beards. But I still rinse and scrub them; better to be safe than sorry. A gritty taste is a sure way to ruin your efforts in the kitchen, no matter how delicious the dish is. You can store mussels for up to three days. As soon as you bring them home, place the mussels in a bowl, cover with a damp dishtowel, and refrigerate until ready to use. Mussels that are steamed in a pot are crowded on top of one another, so you want to make sure you get a large enough pot so you can stir or shake them so they cook evenly. Remember, the mussels closet to the heat source cook faster than the ones on top. I have a pot with a glass top which is convenient for cooking shellfish. As soon as each mussel opens, I pull them immediately for a delicate, soft texture. Mussels are very versatile and their creamy consistency is conducive for absorption of flavors. Do not be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. As long as you have some sort of liquid or sauce to steam the See SERVE Page 39

Beach patrol off duty until spring

Serve as appetizer or main course

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) As you take a walk along the beach next week you won’t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The beach patrol will officially end the 2018 guarding season this Sunday, Sept 23. During our guarding season, surf rescue technicians are in stands and fulfilling all three parts of our mission – education, prevention and intervention – on a daily basis between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. After this Sunfest weekend, the lifeguard stands will be removed quickly from the beach and we will no longer position surf rescue technicians along Ocean City’s beach until May 2019. At this time of year it is important for people to realize that the beach patrol is off duty and they should not participate in water related activities until the beach patrol is back on duty next Memorial Day weekend. We realize that in spite of our warnings, a warm sunny day, even in October, will tempt some people to make the very poor decision to venture into the ocean. Please heed our warnings. The same rip current hazards that

Ingredients 4 pounds cultivated mussels 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup) 3 tablespoons good quality extravirgin olive oil 2 cups chicken stock 1 cup finely chopped shallots 5 large cloves of garlic, minced 1 ½ cup good quality white wine

(dry) 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 tablespoon Herbs de Province 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 Roma tomatoes, seeds and ends removed, finely cut into ¼-inch cubes (reserve ¼ of the cubed cut tomatoes for garnishing) Zest from 2 lemons (reserve ¼ of the lemon zest for garnishing) 1. Soak mussels in 2 ½ to 3 quarts of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain the mussels. Using a dull knife, remove the “beard” from each mussel. Give the mussels a final, thorough rinsing. Discard any mussels whose shells are not shut. 2. In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat butter, olive oil, and chicken stock over medium heat. Add shallots

and garlic and simmer gently for 20 minutes. 3. Add white wine, parsley, Herbs de province, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes. 4. Add the mussels, tomatoes, lemon zest, and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, cover pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Occasionally shake the pot with the lid on to make sure the broth is distributed evenly. 5. Pour the mussels and sauce into a large serving bowl or individual portions. 6. Garnish with remaining lemon zest and tomatoes. Serve immediately. Secret Ingredient – Variety. “Variety of mere nothing gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.” – Jean Paul Richter

exist during our season, when we are making hundreds of rescues (over 3,500 this season), are still present now and could possibly even be more treacherous due to tropical storm activity that is typical for this time each year. The second week in September is the peak of hurricane season.

The ocean is no less dangerous than it was in late August and September. We have experienced an increase in wave action and surf in recent weeks. This resulted in several rescues since Labor Day for the Ocean City Beach Patrol, pulling people out of rip currents and making rescues under challenging

circumstances with stands several blocks apart (1/2 mile). Had some of these situations occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty there would have been multiple tragedies and families devastated. Unfortunately two years ago during this See OC Page 41

Continued from Page 38 mussels, creativity comes in waves of variable degrees. Steamed mussels are very affordable and perfect for entertaining. Their color is an additional wow factor and makes for a stunning presentation. Steamed mussels in aromatics can easily be offered as an amuse bouche, appetizer or main course.

ON GUARD

OC Beach Patrol to return to stands in May Continued from Page 39 time of the year, just 90 minutes after the guards had removed everyone from the ocean and left for the day (7 p.m.), a man went out to swim when guards were not on duty. This turned tragic and his family and everyone involved is still feeling the heartbreak from this easily avoidable tragedy, two years later. Again, less than 48 hours later, a J-1 student worker from Ireland loss his life when he and some friends choose to swim at 6 a.m. after a night out. Swimming only when and where surf rescue technicians were on duty would have prevented both of these avoidable deaths. Starting Monday, the stands will be pulled off the beach and lifeguards will no longer report for duty. We will be working to close down from the 2018 season, prepare our equipment for winter storage and begin preparations for the 2019 season. Even though we no longer have lifeguards on the beach, we will maintain an off-the-beach presence for a few more weeks (through Columbus Day Monday) with our mobil rescue units. Unfortunately, unless someone calls 911 and lets us know someone is in danger we will not be aware of the need to respond although we may be only a few blocks away. These mobil rescue units

consist of one surf rescue technician (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other surf rescue technician (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency. Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians and are quad (ATV) certified. Although Ocean City Fire/EMS are ready and willing to respond to surf rescues (the OCBP has trained a group of Fire/EMS personnel as rescue swimmers), the beach patrol is the agency that is trained and equipped specifically for this mission. Having these mobile units and surf rescue technicians already prepared for a possible response effectively reduces the time from the original 911 call to victim contact and will hopefully result in a successful intervention. But we want to remind you, that even with these public safety personnel available, the time you have to survive if drowning is gambling with your life. It just isn’t worth it! The OCBP will be in response mode like the paramedics or police. Typically, the nearest mobile rescue unit will respond to the “swimmer in trouble” call, forwarded by a 911 dispatcher. Having the mobile units prepared makes the OCBP one step closer if someone needs assistance. When a rescue is needed, the rescue swimmer initiates the

intervention while the driver who is also a trained rescue swimmer maintains radio contact with the Ocean City Communications Center and acts as backup to the initial rescuer and requests additional resources should the situation require any (EMS, Police, Coast Guard, etc.). Without the mobil rescue units, a call to 911 would be answered in Snow Hill and then be transferred to Ocean City Communications who would then dispatch the nearest available EMS unit and fire department personnel. Although Ocean City emergency response time is the fastest in the nation, during a drowning situation, where minutes count, this process may take tragically too long. The beach patrol’s response to this circumstance is to have mobile rescue units already staffed and standing by throughout town as they perform closedown tasks. It is important however that people not depend on these mobile rescue units as if they are lifeguards protecting their love ones. Without educating the public and actively preventing potential incidents the beach patrol is unable to fulfill its mission and work in a proactive manner, therefore we are in a reactionary mode and cannot provide the coverage that the public is accustomed to during our regular guarding season. We have seen too many times when

swimming without lifeguards and poor judgment turns into a tragedy with the loss of a life. Our saying, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” is a friendly reminder of the very serious warning, to only swim when lifeguards are on duty. The first priority of the Ocean City Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. Therefore, we strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device. Since the beach patrol is off duty until May 2019 and we have explained the dangers of swimming unprotected, we do not expect to see you or anyone you care about in the ocean until Memorial Day weekend 2019 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. If you do see a swimmer in distress do not attempt to go in after them, or you may become an additional victim. Especially tragic are the number of parents that have died in Ocean City while attempting to rescue their children who they have allowed to swim without lifeguards on duty.

Don’t swim without lifeguards Continued from Page 41 who are now parents, don’t let their children swim on an unguarded beach, even though they personally have rescued hundreds from the Ocean City surf. We have seen too many cases where someone has tried to rescue a distressed swimmer and has drowned in the attempt. Instead, immediately call 911, know the location of the incident, follow the victim along the beach and remain on the scene until rescue personnel arrive and identify yourself to them. If the person goes under the water before rescuers arrive, it is important to mark the last seen position of the victim with a landmark on the beach to aid the rescues with the search. If the person does manage to rescue himself or herself, please let the responding personnel know that they are safely on shore. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety education feature. The beach patrol’s mission has three focuses: education, prevention and intervention. Without a doubt the most obvious and the one that attracts the most attention is intervention when one of our guards blows a whistle, jumps off the stand, runs

down the beach, and then swims out to rescue a swimmer in distress. Although this happens several thousand times each season it is not our major focus but rather it is prevention of accidents and injuries through our educational outreach efforts and programs that we make our No. 1 priority. That is why each week we use this space to try and educate all of the readers of Ocean City Today. I truly believe that through the exposure in this newspaper that many lives have been saved and will continue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on the information that they learned to others. So if you have enjoyed this column and have learned any new information about beach or water safety, not only pass it on to others but take the time to thank the editors of Ocean City Today. Have a safe fall and winter and we will see you Memorial Day Saturday 2019 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. So please don’t let someone you love enter the ocean when the surf rescue technicians are not on duty. It is not only dangerous to them but may put others in danger if they attempt to help you in an emergency.

Berlin Fiddler’s Convention kicks off Friday Saturday’s competition to include band, banjo, fiddle, mandolin for youth, adults

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The 26th annual Berlin Fiddler’s Convention is scheduled to bring three days of free, family-friendly events and live entertainment to the downtown area this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Slated to open the show on Friday night, starting at 7 p.m., are the Lonesome Ridge Rangers, winners of the 2017 Fiddler’s Convention band competition. They will be followed by Washington, D.C. bluegrass quintet Only Lonesome and Nashville singer/songwriter Rebecca Frazier. Berlin Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Larnet St. Amant said the stage on Friday would be set up near Fin’s Alehouse and Raw Bar on North Main Street. Fin’s is the Friday night entertainment sponsor and the chamber each year hosts the three-day event. “We’re really excited for Friday night in downtown Berlin,” St.

Amant said. “We have the winners from last year, then we have Rebecca Frazier who is wonderful and is going to represent the women – you know how we love to celebrate our women in Berlin – and then Only Lonesome will round out the night.” In case of rain, the bands will move indoors to the Globe on Broad Street. On Saturday, staging moves to South Main Street in front of the Atlantic Hotel. An encore performance by Only Lonesome and Rebecca Frazier is expected to start at 11 a.m. The competition portion of the event will start at noon with youth and adult categories including best band, banjo, fiddle and mandolin. For the second year, the competition will also include the Maryland State Flatpicking Guitar Championship. Winners in each category will receive cash prizes. “There will be lots of great vendors on Saturday and we’ve got food from Street Kitchen, the Lions Club and the Masons,” St. Amant said. “We’ve got a moon bounce and put-put golf, crafts from Worcester Youth and Family, and face painting and hula hoops and lots of stuff for kids.”

St. Amant said two “kid zones” would be part of the Saturday lineup, including one on Commerce Street and another on North Main Street, near Worcester Youth. Burley Oak Brewing Company will operate a beer truck and the shop Sisters will offer wine slushies, “Because it’s going to be hot and gorgeous,” St. Amant said. The rain location on Saturday is the Berlin Intermediate School auditorium. Free parking and a shuttle service to downtown will be available from the school, on Franklin Avenue. The Fiddler’s Convention winds up on Sunday at noon, with the annual gospel bluegrass jam hosted by locals Steve Frene and Kenny Good on the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum lawn on North Main Street.

“Bring your chair and be ready to have a great time,” St. Amant said. She said the event was the largest of the year for the chamber and essentially rounds out the year. “We start with Spring Celebration and we finish up with this event,” St. Amant said. “We’re excited and we think the weather is going to be great. We’re due!” While no other major, townwide Berlin Chamber of Commerce happenings are scheduled in 2018, St. Amant said the nonprofit is planning several seminars and “business after hours” events. The annual installation dinner for new officers is scheduled in January. For more information or to register in advance for the competition, visit www.berlinchamber.org/fiddlers-convention.

The tour, which includes a variety of homes from oceanfront to bayside to family residences to tiny houses, benefits the nonprofit Art League of Ocean City that operates the Ocean City Center for the Arts and its many community programs. The self-guided home tour is held over two days on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 20-21, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. so guests can tour at their own pace. The tour homes are located in Ocean City, West Ocean City and Ocean Pines. Tickets cost $30 and include a guidebook, driving directions and

special offers. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets early as a limited number are available. Volunteer docents staff each home, guide visitors through the rooms and outdoor spaces, and answer questions about the house and its unique features. Those taking the tour will be inspired with unique decorating ideas, color schemes and different styles of living. Local businesses – architects, builders, home decorators, artists, florists, remodelers and landscapers – have the opportunity to show off their talents and showcase their products to the 1,000-plus tour takers. “We invite everyone to join us as we celebrate the 14th year of the Sand Castle Home Tour, the event that

provided much of the funding to enable us to open the beautiful Ocean City Center for the Arts,” Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art League, said. “Now, the annual Home Tour helps us keep our doors open and our educational programs going.” Tickets are available by calling 410-524-9433.

FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Ctr. now open in Pines

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The new FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center of Ocean Pines, on 11204 Racetrack Road, will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 4 p.m. with the Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce and offer tours of the facility to guests. The grand-opening event will run from 3-5 p.m. “We used to be known as APEX,” Marketing Director Ed Weeks said. “Scott Gardner is the owner and clinic director here. He purchased into the national brand FYZICAL – spelled different because we are different.” The 4,000-square-foot, state-of-theart physical therapy center houses multiple treatment spaces for a variety of therapeutical needs, such as neurological, vesicular, orthopedic – also including knee and hip replacements – and treatment for people who are experiencing dizziness. “We use the most recent advances in technology and in science to aid in the rehabilitation of our patients,” Weeks said. “We have over 300 clinics with professionals that we can [determine] this

worked here for us, or this didn’t work and we have an enormous source of networking through professionals so we can better treat our patients.” Some advanced equipment utilized at the facility includes an AlterG anti-gravity treadmill, Safety Overhead Support system, and Laser Therapy. The AlterG anti-gravity treadmill was originally built and used by NASA, and will replace aquatic therapy by removing up to 90 percent of a person’s body weight. “When you’re rehabbing a knee or

ankle or broken leg, we can put you into this treadmill and we can take away your body weight,” Weeks said. “It’s super cool. You get into a pair of shorts, almost like a little wetsuit which goes over your pants or shorts, and the bubble fills up with air, you stand on the treadmill and it calculates your weight. We increase and decrease through the course of your rehab. It’s a very cool piece of equipment.” The safety overhead system, which is a system of harnesses, can strap the paSee STATE Page 55

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) The National Association of Realtors holds an Innovation, Opportunity & Investment Summit where technology vendors can market their products to brokers and agents. This year, NAR included what they dubbed a “hackathon” and a startup pitch battle, providing opportunities for the tech community to demonstrate what they can do to transform real estate. “There’s nothing like this being done in the real estate vertical,” NAR CEO Bob Goldberg told attendees Thursday, calling the events part of his “larger strategy as CEO to bring tech firms that many consider to be disruptors under the tent as innovators, and turn them into advocates for our members.” The summit’s hackathon was a month-long effort that attracted some 40 groups to figure out how artificial intelligence and machine learning might improve customer service, the home search process, real estate marketing, and listing data display. KW Labs, Keller Williams Realty’s inhouse software development arm, took home the grand prize check for $15,000. Their team created an app that automatically detects and tags video listing tours with certain property elements, such as building materials, architectural structures and lighting sources. Once uploaded, the app instantly creates a landing page for the property, where home buyers can view videos room by room and read personalized notes and insights that the agent has added to the tour. The runner-up was Voicester Pro, a company that uses voice-enabled search applications to help real estate companies and associations connect with consumers. They created “The Home Buying Game” where two people text answers on their homebuying preferences to an Amazon Alexa speaker. The winner gets to choose the next showing. The summit’s startup pitch battle was hosted by Second Century Ventures, NAR’s strategic investment arm.

Pickles Pub owners Justin and Brittney Acita hold the Pickle Shot bottles launched on Aug. 23. Since the Pickle Shot available at the Eighth Street pub is so popular they decided to bottle it.

Pickles Pub owners bottle bar’s famous Pickle Shot (Sept. 21, 2018) Pickles Pub is famous for its Pickle Shot, which is now available locally for purchase in a bottle, and soon to be available statewide. Justin and Brittney Acita took over Pickles Pub on Eighth Street in Ocean City, a little over four years ago and with it the coveted Pickle Shot recipe. With that, they then made it their own by searching out the best flavored pickle brine. After trying a variety of brines they settled on what they agreed was their favorite. “We don’t give out the recipe because it’s our trademarked secret,” Brittney Acita said. Customers come into Pickles Pub just to purchase the Pickle Shot, she added. “It’s usually the first thing the vast majority of people come in here order,” she said. They have customers tell them all the

time that they try recreating the Pickle Shot at home, but it doesn’t taste the same. Since the shot has been so popular they decided to bottle it. It was a process, but seeing the feedback and demand for the product already, it was all worth it, Justin Acita said. When making the Pickle Shot concoction to bottle, Brittney said the hard part for her was not being able to taste the product because she is pregnant with the couple’s third child. They went through nine batches to get the recipe perfect. They used the same brine as the pub does, but switched to a higher quality small batch vodka. The Pickle Shot bottles are currently available at Pickles Pub on Eighth Street, 8th Street Liquors, Anthony’s Beer and Wine on 33rd Street, West O See PICKLE Page 57

Light Therapy, which is also offered, uses a low-level light, similar to an ultrasound. The light goes deeper and it keeps the cells moving and increases blood flow, allowing for a better picture of the organ being scanned, he said. “[Light Therapy is] something that’s been utilized by veterinarians for a number of years,” Weeks said. “It’s very popular for race horses, and it was cleared years ago by the FDA for humans. A lot of high-level athletes are using it – Stephen Curry, LeBron James – It’s extremely popular in the NBA and NFL.” The grand opening will also feature a tour of the facility, with the six physical therapists on site to answer questions and perform demonstrations of the equipment. “I want people to see what the community’s been talking about, and that’s FYZICAL,” Weeks said. “We’re completely and totally different from any other facility in the area and we created a buzz here, and we have a good following with our local patients and our physicians. “I know people say, ‘FYZICAL? That just sounds so funny,’” he continued. “They see my van riding around and they look at me like, ‘This guy doesn’t know

how to spell physical.’ I want people to see what’s going on.” During the tour, visitors can sign up for a free balance assessment and laser therapy demo in October. Refreshments will also be served during the opening event. For more information, call Weeks at 410-208-1525.

We have a few plans for brand expansion in the future [so] stay tuned to see what’s next.” The liquor store and the Iron Octopus, which is Pickles Pub’s whiskey bar, are new additions to the establishment. “The liquor store came with Pickles,” Brittney Acita said. “But last winter, we expanded. We are all the way down to the end of the block. “We expanded by putting a ‘beer cave’ – a walk-in cooler where people can pick their favorite 30 packs [in the liquor store],” she added. The concept behind the whiskey bar is a small prohibition themed speakeasy, offering a variety of whiskeys from the basics all the way up to the sought-after 12-year Van Winkle. “Our thoughts were people can try before they buy a pricier bottle to make sure it’s what they are looking for,” Justin Acita said. “Also it’s a pretty cool

Owning a bar had always been a dream for both of them and when the opportunity presented itself, it just seemed like it was fate. “Pickles has always been one of our favorite bars in town, not to mention it’s one of the first places I took Brittney on a date,” Justin Acita said.

Commentary

Hurricane protocol gets high mark here

In light of the local fallout from the weather forecasts preceding the arrival of Hurricane Florence on the Carolina coasts last week, residents and visitors should know that they will be better served the next time by paying attention to Ocean City government’s advisories than by following certain commercial weather broadcasts. Unlike the reports of many news outlets, Ocean City’s regular updates on the developing situation provided facts and forecasts without the hyperbole. Its emergency management team stuck to a plan of providing alerts without the alarm. Anything beyond that would have involved speculation unsupported by the observations provided by the NOAA’s National Hurricane Center, from which all tropical weather information flows. Offering unqualified “what-if” scenarios is not part of the center’s job, that being a device employed by media outlets to keep us glued to the screen … and the advertisers who make it all possible. As one national weather scientist observed, “Don’t’ watch the … channel. It’s job is to make you watch. Our job is to tell you what’s going on.” That’s also the approach Ocean City government took, and in doing so it was one of the few sources of information that did not contribute to frenzy of fear that seemed to increase even as the chances of real weather trouble locally diminished. It is important to note, however, that had a collision course with Florence been more likely, Ocean City would have adopted a more urgent tone. As Mayor Rick Meehan acknowledged, officials must walk a fine line in a weather-dependent resort town like Ocean City. No one wants to be the person who failed to keep his or her community safe, just as no one wants to raise unnecessary alarms and eventually lose credibility. While everyone in this region sends their sympathies, donations and help to Florence’s victims to the south, and breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn’t us, it should be said that not only did Ocean City government do a good job keeping us posted, it also established itself a source to be trusted the next time a hurricane heads toward the coast.

New species discovered

They say we know more about the moon than we do about our ocean environment, and I guess that’s true, judging from a shocking online story posted by a Baltimore television station that indicates the arrival of a whole new species of marine animal in local waters. The report concerns the discovery of a jellyfish-like creature on the beach and the subsequent debate over whether it’s just your garden variety gelatinous mass or a By seriously nasty Portuguese Stewart Man o’ War. Here’s an excerpt from the Dobson actual report (with emphasis added). ... Some are saying it’s a blue jellyfish while others say it could be the more painful and possibly deadly Portuguese Man o’ War. According to NOAA, the man o’ war is a species of siphonophore that’s related to a jellyfish, but its sting is much more painful … The man o’ war also have longer testicles that contain “stinging nematocysts … ”

What? Stinging what? First of all, I have no idea what a siphonophore is, but I do feel strongly that anything with stinging testicles should be avoided, regardless of its name or circumstance. I also looked up nematocysts and learned they are “cells … containing a barbed or venomous coiled thread that can be pro-

jected in self-defense or to capture prey.” If there’s one thing I don’t want to happen to me it’s to be self-defended or captured by any jellyfish, Man o’ War, or otherwise, that’s coming after me with barbed or venomous anything that’s attached as previously described. I should note that I was 9 or something before I even learned what that particular word actually meant, having been informed initially by my father that it rhymed with Hercules and referred to a lesser known, but exceptionally brave, Roman hero. Yes, the old man did things like that just to see my mother’s eyebrows shoot up toward the heavens. Needless to say, my declaration during backyard play that others should “make way for the Mighty Testicles” was a one-time performance. This recent discovery, however, changes everything. Not only has a heretofore unknown and particularly unattractive menace of the deep been added to list of things to be aware of in the water, it’s sure to work its way into our cultural world. For all we know, Man o’ War could become the newest member of the Avengers, although it’s doubtful he would have a prominent role in the action sequences. Maybe more of an aftermath scene: “Yowwwww! Get that guy away from me!” On the other hand, the debate over whether this blobula is a Man o’ War or a jellyfish is pointless, since any marine life that’s carrying nematocysts down there is going to startle a few beachgoers, regardless of the long and short of things. “What is that, Harold? Look! They’re, they’re … Ewwwwww!”

SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Letters to the editor Ocean City has become less about community

Editor, We enjoyed your recent opinion column (“Fish Powell stood by his community,” OC Today, Aug. 31, 2018). The article stated that “[Ocean City] was more of a town then, rather than a product,” the word “then” referring to Fish Powell’s day. Another way of saying that is “Ocean City was more of a community then, rather than a business.” We agree. We have been property owners in Ocean City since 1984 and residents since 2005, and we have witnessed this change. In many ways, business values are at odds with community values in Ocean City. The most urgent area where these two sets of values conflict concerns the issue of injuries and deaths on Ocean Highway. Ocean City is rightfully concerned and active about this issue (that is the “community” part). But while enacting proper measures like crosswalks, fences and speed limits, the city ignores the most important cause – too many cars and pedestrians on Ocean Highway. In our almost 35 years here, we have seen a relentless expansion of hotels and condominiums, putting ever more and more vehicles and pedestrians on the

roads. The attraction? More tax revenue. This is the business part, which is overruling the community part. The unrelenting expansion of hotels and condominiums in Ocean City is our main concern and frustration. Having made that point, we would like to expand on the concepts of community and business as they exist in Ocean City. The issue of deaths and injuries is just one example of conflict of these sets of values in Ocean City. Another example is the Boardwalk Dumser’s issue. For sure there has been a huge outpouring of community support in favor of Dumser’s remaining where it is. This is the community part. But still, the council insists on tearing the building down. Why? That is the business part. Consider the issue of parking meters in Ocean City. Could any issue be a better example of business concerns conflicting with community concerns? Several years ago, the council did withdraw its proposed parking meter plan in the face of a potential citywide ballot referendum, but that withdrawal was self-serving, done in order to avoid certain defeat and to keep the option alive for some time in the future when community motivations are not so strong. Recent actions by the council show

that parking revenues are still strongly on the mind of the council. In a different vein, we are amazed that we can spend a week at a fine all-inclusive hotel (all-inclusive means including airfare, luxury hotel mini-suite, food and drinks all day, entertainment, beach, pool, etc.) on a beautiful beach in the Caribbean (there are hundreds to choose from) for the cost of a week’s lodging (i.e., lodging only) in Ocean City. To the doubters, we say that we have done just that for one week every winter for the past eight years (our summers are spent in Ocean City). Why is an Ocean City vacation so expensive? Taxation is my guess as the leading cause. That is the business part. Not all issues involving community and business in Ocean City are traceable to the council and tax revenues. We can’t help but mention one example of the decline of community in Ocean City. That is the stream of letters to your paper decrying Trump flags flying around town. Mr. Trump is our president (like it or not). If citizens want to show their support for their president, a compassionate community would be tolerant. In that case, if a citizen didn’t like seeing Trump flags, the citizen would make a statement by avoiding the businesses flying it. We don’t recall any fuss about Obama bumper stickers, lawn signs and

flags. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the many ways that community and business work together successfully in Ocean City. Our businesses support many excellent community programs and facilities. To name a few: Believe in Tomorrow House, Sunset Park concerts, Northside Park and all of its activities, Winterfest of Lights, fireworks, Springfest and Sunfest, the Art League of Ocean City, and many more. Success in Ocean City is measured by the number of visitors attracted to the city by an event. This measure has undertones of business, but understanding that the community of Ocean City consists of residents, property owners and visitors indicates this measure has value. We also must acknowledge that the city government and city businesses are also a part of the community. The Ocean City community has been weakened in recent decades, but it survives. We, the community as just defined, must be diligent to ensure that our community values and business values are mutually and positively supportive.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Responding to letter to the editor

Editor, I was reviewing the Letter to the Editor (LTE) in the Ocean City Today and the Dispatch/Maryland Coastal Dispatch, both published on Aug. 31. There may be other publications I did not review that contained the same writing. The first that came to mind was their prominent position in the local area and further of Sandy and Palmer Gillis and their philanthropic activities, support to the 14th Annual Sand Castle Home Tour and participation on many board of directors and other business activities. I contemplated whether to write this letter, however the presentation and content of your LTE were overwhelming and I had to assume you were attacking the president because his political views did not conform to your many business ventures. The second thing that came to mind is the aggressive and egregious context of the LTE(s). There were many topics where opinion were provided, generalized statements made, talk of rich people and those who own yachts, the “Ugly American,” others and most notable trashing President Trump — everyone’s president and his policies. I will not take time to address each subject but let the other readers draw similar conclusions. You refer to free speech and took full advantage of that right. As it is written you cannot tolerate

the Trump flag “…revolting as a confederate flag as to others “(not us).” Not an acceptable position (not us). Referring to the marinas “expensive yachts” flying the Trump flag. Many of those yachts are for hire, the owners business, not pleasure and I am sure you could afford one if you don’t already own one. Remember (…understand free speech). Actually there is one more subject in your LTE to address. That is the reference to when national budget problems were created. You reference the recent tax cuts. Please review the significant budget problem at the end of the Obama presidency and how much of the national budget was wasted during his presidency. I am not going to take any more time to respond to all your issues but let other do so, nor am I going into the economics of financing. I am sorry that your subject makes you “sad and sickening.” There are many remedies for that condition. I do commend you for offering your home on “Gillis Island” to house the “Party of the Year” and all other philanthropic involvement in which you participate. Sorry if my response appears harsh and insensitive but it is responding to the LTE that was presented in the same criteria. I am sure there are those in Ocean City, the surrounding area and in Worcester County that appreciate you and your wife. Having said that just don’t degrade those American’s that have other political views and voted for President Trump and not crooked

Hillary.

Who will Ocean Pines admin come after next?

Editor, With this summer’s resident goose roundup still casting a pall over our Ocean Pines community, my neighbors and I are wondering which of God’s creatures will be next on the hit list. Will it be the buzzards? My next-door neighbor has a flock of buzzards roosting in his trees every night, and they poop. There are piles of poop under those trees. This has been going on for years. It’s quite remarkable that, despite the long-term exposure to buzzard poop, my neighbor still manages to get his yard work done and is one of the healthiest people I’ve ever met. Perhaps raccoons will be a future target. I doubt if a mass murder of raccoons would cause nearly as much anger in the community as with the geese, as raccoons are a known carrier of rabies. Since they are carnivores, their poop is probably quite nasty. Do you suppose the Ocean Pines Gestapo is secretly amassing a huge collection of raccoon traps, even as I write this? Maybe that’s where some of the missing money went! We shudder to think that our fearless leaders may even be working on a

hidden agenda to round up and euthanize some of us resident humans, too. Like the resident geese, most of us came here from somewhere else, because Ocean Pines has all of the amenities that any goose or human could possibly want. However, there are now too many humans here. We are creating such problems as traffic congestion, overcrowding in restaurants, long lines in the supermarket, and we poop. Some of us poop a lot, and human poop is one of the most toxic substances that any living thing could be exposed to. Ocean Pines’ sewer system must be stressed to the max by now. Since it’s better to be safe than sorry, many of us humans are busily prepping in the event we should hear those dreaded knocks on our doors during the wee hours of the morning. We’ve learned a lesson from the geese, and will not be caught off-guard. Although we are going to be totally prepared, none of us believe such a thing will actually happen as long as the money keeps rolling in from our assessment fees. It’s all about the money. If those poor geese had been giving them money to throw away, I can just about guarantee that each and every one of those beautiful birds would still be here, too. Anyone who thinks the goose issue will simply go away is not living in the real world. Jonathan E. Lambert Ocean Pines

Continued from Page 1 safe.” Buzzuro said resort visitors and residents can anticipate high visibility and strict enforcement from OCPD and numerous allied agencies. “We will have the same number, if not more, law enforcement officers in town for this event and then follow through with fall Cruisin’ as we did last year,” he said. Communications Director Jessica Waters said changes will be made to variable messaging signs to specify that speeds are reduced to 30 mph on Coastal Highway Waters also said the city is taking the safety-related messaging to social media. “You’re welcome here, but if you’re coming here to break the rules and disrespect our community, we will be having no tolerance,” she said. Councilman Tony Deluca emphasized that the Special Event Zone designation extends to all streets in the resort. “If somebody speeds down 142nd Street those fines can be increased as well to protect those neighborhoods,” Meehan added. Based on room reservations, Susan Jones, executive director for the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, said a sizable crowd is anticipated. “They’re fairly strong, I would say probably half sold out at this point, so we can expect them,” she said. Buzzuro said there has been an increased level of coordination with properties around 120th Street, with the Wawa parking lot typically attracting large crowds to watch vehicles parade on Coastal Highway. “We’re getting a good deal of support and most of those properties will assist us during the event,” he said. Bob Rothermel, whose TEAM Productions helps stage Cruisin events, said ancillary activities are planned for the fall event to allow participants other outlets to showcase their rides. “We are partnering with US 13 Dragway on Friday and Saturday for ‘Taking It To the Strip,’ to help spread the crowd out from Ocean City into Delmarva,” he said. Rothermel said the upcoming Cruisin’ typically draws fewer hot rods then the springtime affair. “You don’t get as many people running with the pack as you do in the spring, because a lot of people put their cars away for the winter, rather than putting them together for the summer,” he said. Meehan said with alternative locations now in play for H2Oi, the percentage heading to Ocean City may eventually diminish. “Hopefully, the Atlantic City event is very successful,” he said.

Looming storms reduced hog counts on Baltimore Avenue and throughout the resort during BikeFest last weekend.

BikeFest down due to forecast Continued from Page 1 of their vendors.” Micheal said only 30 of 175 vendors normally in town for OC BikeFest and Delmarva Bike Week set up shop last weekend. “We never … closed or cancelled the Delmarva side,” he said. Although more than four dozen vendors had arrived early in the week, Micheal said by Tuesday, with Maryland announcing a state of emergency, all but three trailered and hit the highway. “I was not in a position to make vendors stay,” he said. “We want people to make a safe decision for themselves.” After being in continual consultation with emergency officials, Micheal said it was decided to relocate the inlet lot concerts and vendors to the Ocean City convention center. “We did cancel the inlet lot at the recommendation of the city because of storm surge,” he said. Despite the hurricane’s track toward the Carolinas, Micheal said emergency officials said storm surge could cause high tide to push water into the inlet lot. “We made the decision to pull it in and they were exactly right,” he said. Zev Sibony, who operates the 45th Street Taphouse, said the combination of extreme weather forecasts and the declared state of emergency scared visitors from venturing to the shore. “Plain and simple, I did about half of the business I was supposed to, going by numbers,” he said. “The amount of bikes in Ocean City … you could tell it was easily a third … that are normally here.” Sibony also saw a sharp decline in the number of vendors who set up stands outside his 45th Street location. “In my parking lot … I typically have five rows [filled] by vendors, but this year it was maybe one and a half rows,” he said. Shawn Harman, who operates Fish Tales Bar & Grill on 22nd Street, said his operation went into high gear once it became apparent Maryland wasn’t going to take a major hit from Florence “We committed on Tuesday to go forward as if it wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Tuesday we were down by four runs in sixth inning and we pulled out a save.” Save for a few minor tweaks, Harman said his establishment was fortu-

nate to draw roughly three quarters of previous attendance. “We put up one big extra tent to shelter the outside bar area,” he said. “The beer guys were happy because they didn’t take back much.” Although some merchants fared reasonably well, Jones said, and despite a slight last-minute uptick in daytrippers, most of the hotels that had been booked at roughly 90 percent capacity fell off by two thirds due to cancellations. “A handful picked up rooms on Saturday who came anyway,” she said. Pursel said restaurants and hotels reported a sharp decline in revenues last weekend. “Knowing we’re a weather dependent resort town, it’s part of the deal,” she said. Amelia Chasse, Gov. Hogan’s deputy communications director, said declaring a state of emergency ahead of a potentially devastating storm is done to, “enable more efficient coordination of state and local resources.” “When the governor initially declared the state of emergency, the storm was forecasted to have potentially catastrophic impacts to Maryland,” she said. Chasse said by declaring emergency conditions Hogan can access critical resources, such as the Maryland National Guard, to help local jurisdictions and neighboring states. “It allows us to activate resources to help other states,” she said. “As the storm's path shifted, the continued declaration enabled us to send resources … including deploying the Maryland Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (MD-HART) to North Carolina to assist with recovery efforts.” Sibony said area merchants, already feeling the economic pinch from an exceptionally soggy early summer season, will enter the offseason with sub-par profit margins. “Typically, a lot of business owners will say the money made during Bike Week gets put in a little bank at the end and we use that for the winter time,” he said. Micheal, meanwhile, said Ocean City will feel the fiscal impact of having an event expected to attract 150,000 people bringing in 30,000 or less. “This was almost like a doomsday forecast and nothing happened,” he said.

POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 24 When police officers woke Smith and told him he was under arrest, he reportedly began yelling several profanities. “I’ve spent 10 years in a penitentiary,” Smith said. “Jail ain’t s***.” Officers tried to move Smith, who resisted and fell out of his wheelchair, according to the report. The Ocean City Fire EMS then responded, but Smith allegedly continued yelling profanities. Smith has had several run-ins with the law, with 11 prior arrests on charges of liquor laws and disorderly conduct, according to the report.

Flips off bar David Keith Spear, 49, of Olsner, Md., was arrested in connection with flipping off a Boardwalk bar early Friday morning. Spear was charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure, according to court documents. Police were called to the bar around 12:35 a.m. Avenue after Spear had been removed from the establishment. After leaving, Spear allegedly turned toward the bar and held up his middle fingers and yelled several profanities, according to the report. Police told him to leave the area, but Spear continued yelling profanities. He is also accused of having urinated on the sidewalk and exposing himself to police.

Chamberlain meets German Fuhrer in Godesberg in ‘38

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) This week, 80 years ago, British Prime Minister Sir Neville Chamberlain met the German Führer for the second time in as many weeks in Germany. The location of this meeting was Godesberg, or Bad Godesberg, which is located on the Rhine. In 1969, it was incorporated into the West German Capital of Bonn. Upon his return to London, from his first meeting with the German leader at Berchtestgaden, on Sept. 16, the prime minister convened his cabinet and obtained its support for handing over the areas of Czechoslovakia known as the Sudetenland, where the Germans constituted a clear majority. The Czechoslovakian leadership was not consulted. On Sept. 18, French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet and French Premier Édouard Daladier met with the British Prime Minister in London, where he recounted his conference with the German Führer. The leaders of the two countries agreed that Czechoslovakia would be pressured to concede to Germany all territory in

which Germans comprised more than one-half the population. In return, Great Britain would agree to participate in, “...an international guarantee of the new boundaries ... against unprovoked aggression.” However, Czechoslovakia must agree to abandon its treaties of mutual assistance with France and the Soviet Union. A note was sent to Prague, which said: “Both the French and British governments recognize how great is the sacrifice thus required by the Czechoslovakian government and the cause of peace. But because that cause is common both to Europe in general and in particular to Czechoslovakia herself, they have felt it their duty jointly to set forth frankly the conditions essential to secure it. The Prime Minister must resume conversation with Herr Hitler not later than Wednesday, and earlier, if possible. We therefore feel we must ask for your reply at the earliest possible moment.” This communication reached the Czechoslovakian government on Monday, Sept. 19. The next day the Continued on Page 72

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 70 British-French proposal was rejected, with the Czechoslovakian government noting that, to accept the proposal would put, “... Czechoslovakia sooner or later under the complete domination of Germany.” At 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 21, the French government telephoned its ambassador in Prague, Victor de Lacroix, and told him to relay a message to the Czechoslovakian government, that, by rejecting the Franco-British proposal, Czechoslovakia, “...assumes the responsibility for Germany resorting to force ... and by doing so it removes any practical effectiveness of assistance from France ....” The message continued: “Czechoslovakia thus assumes a risk which we believe to have been removed. She must herself understand the conclusions which France has the right to draw if the Czechoslovakian

Ocean City Today government does not accept immediately the Franco-British proposal.” Within the hour, the British government communicated the same sentiments to Sir Basil Newton, its ambassador in Prague. Ambassadors Newton and Lacroix drove to Hradčany Palace in Prague, and awakened Czechoslovakian President Edvard Beneš. After listening to the two envoys deliver their message, President Beneš began to sob. He later said that he felt as if he had been clubbed. Incredibly, Great Britain and France were informing Czechoslovakia that they would blame it if Germany started a war! On Sept. 21, shortly before 5 p.m., the Czechoslovakian government capitulated and accepted the AngloFrench proposal. On Sept. 22, as the British Prime Minister was boarding a plane for Germany, Churchill was

thundering: “The partition of Czechoslovakia under pressure from England and France amounts to the complete surrender of the Western Democracies to the Nazi threat of force. Such a collapse will bring peace or security neither to England or to France. On the contrary, it will place these two Nations in an even weaker and more dangerous situation.” Upon Chamberlain’s arrival in Cologne he was driven through the streets of the city, lined with cheering throngs, Swastikas and Union jacks, on his way to Bad Godesberg. The British prime minister and the German Führer met, for the second time, at 5 p.m. Chamberlain explained the Anglo-French plan which the Czechoslovakian government had so reluctantly accepted. “Do I understand,” the Führer asked, “that the British, French and

SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 Czech governments have agreed to the transfer of the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia to Germany?” The prime minister, beaming, replied, “Yes.” The Führer responded, “I am terribly sorry, but after the events of the last few days, this plan is no longer of any use.” Chamberlain sat up with a start, his face flushed with surprise and anger. He replied to Hitler that he had been provided what he had demanded and that in order to achieve that, the prime minister had risked his whole political career, and was being accused in certain circles of selling out and betraying Czechoslovakia. The Führer explained that the entire Sudetenland must be militarily occupied by Germany by no later than Oct. 1. The prime minister left the meeting and retired to his room on the other side of the Rhine in the Peterhof Hotel. The following day, the French and British informed the Czechoslovakian government that they could, “...not continue to take responsibility advising them not to mobilize.” Czechoslovakia began to mobilize at 10:30 p.m. that evening. During the day of the 23rd, the two leaders exchanged some correspondence. Finally, at 10:30 that evening, they met again. The Führer produced a document titled “Memorandum” with an accompanying map which outlined the German demand. The British prime minister exclaimed, “But this is nothing less than an ultimatum!” The Führer replied, “Nothing of the sort.” That moment a message was delivered to der Führer. He read it and gave it to the interpreter and told him to read it to Mr. Chamberlain. The message informed that, “Beneš has just announced over the radio a general mobilization in Czechoslovakia.” No one spoke. Finally Hitler said, “Now, of course, the whole affair is settled. The Czechs will not dream of ceding any territory to Germany.” The discussion then degenerated into an argument over who had mobilized first. Sometime after midnight, the Chamberlain inquired whether the German “Memorandum” was really the Führer’s last word. When Hitler replied that it was, Chamberlain responded that, “There was no point in continuing the conversations. He had done his utmost; his efforts had failed. He was going away with a heavy heart, for the hopes with which he had come to Germany were destroyed.” Back in London the following day, the British prime minister attempted to persuade the French, the Czechoslovakians and his own cabinet to accept the Germans’ new demands. All three refused. As a result, France stepped up its mobilization. At 9 p.m. on Sept. 25,

French Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Bonnet met with Chamberlain, British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax and other ministers at 10 Downing Street. The result was an attempt by the British to persuade the French to join them in abandoning Czechoslovakia to Germany — with no success. When the meeting was adjourned for the day, the French were Edvard Beneš president of asked if their comCzechoslovakia mander-in chief, Gen. Maurice Gamelin could attend the next day’s meetings. On Sept. 26, General Gamelin attended the meeting, and gave his assessment of the military situation, which was generally positive. In the meantime, Chamberlain sent his personal envoy, Sir Horace Wilson, to deliver to Hitler this message: “The French government has told us that in case of a German attack against Czechoslovakia it will faithfully fulfill its obligations. If in carrying out these obligations arriving from its treaties, France became actively engaged in hostilities against Germany, the United Kingdom would feel obliged to come to her aid.” At 10:30 p.m., the next day, Cham-

berlain received Hitler’s reply. It pledged that German troops would stop at the demarcation lines, denied that German proposals would “... rob Czechoslovakia of every guarantee of its existence... ” offered to negotiate details with Czechoslovakia, and offered, “... a formal guarantee for the remainder of Czechoslovakia.” He concluded his letter, by appealing to Chamberlain, “I must leave it to your judgment, whether, in view of these facts, you should continue your effort...” There it was! Hitler had deftly placed the ball in Chamberlain’s court! This prompted the prime minister to write to both the German Führer and the Italian Duce proposing a conference to resolve the crisis. The conference would be held in Munich, Germany. Meanwhile, the Germans continued to mobilize and implement Fall Grün (Case Green) — the invasion of Czechoslovakia, scheduled to begin Oct. 1, 1938.

SD boys’ soccer team takes down Snow Hill and NC

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team shut out the Snow Hill Eagles and North Caroline Bulldogs on its home field in Berlin this week. On Monday, the Seahawks hosted the Eagles and won 4-0. The team didn’t waste any time, as senior Brady Ford scored just 59 seconds into the game. About 11 minutes later, sophomore Kellen Catrino netted Decatur’s second goal. Senior Matt White tallied the Seahawks’ third goal 19 minutes into the game. Junior captain John Karacoulakis scored Decatur’s fourth goal with 17 second left in the first half. Senior captain Brett Berquist recorded four saves in goal for Decatur. The Seahawks went back to their 4-4-2 formation and Coach Jamie Greenwood moved some people around to generate more offense. “We were happy with it. We did a lot of good things. We moved the ball well,” he said. “It fared very well. We were pleasantly surprised and I was pleased with the way things fell into place. Hopefully, that continues.” One of the moves was pushing Karacoulakis from defense up to the forward line.

Decatur golfers playing well so far this year, coach says

“He’s fantastic in the back, [but] John brings a lot of energy up top. He’s our workhorse,” Greenwood said. “At practice he has a good shot and we were lacking offense. He can shoot the ball and he creates havoc up there.” Junior Hunter Wolf dropped to defense from midfield and joined sophomore Evan Kinsey and juniors Drew Haueisen and Eric Gwin in the back. “All the defenders played exceptional,” Greenwood said. North Caroline came to Berlin on Wednesday to take on Decatur. Ford put Decatur on the board 11 minutes into the game. He made it 20 13 minutes into the second half. Berquist stopped 10 Bulldogs’ shots.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Stephen Decatur golf team won Tuesday’s eightschool Bayside Conference competition at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin. “They all played great,” Decatur Coach Dan Stearman said. “It was a great win.” Decatur shot a 162. James M. Bennett came in second place with a 176 and Worcester Prep, of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, took third, carding a 187. Senior captain Emily Malinowski, who shot a 35 – one under par – led Decatur. Senior captain Hayden Snelsire and junior Brady Leonard, who competed in his first match of the year, both scored 41s. Senior Joe Beck also contributed to the win, tallying a 45. This was Worcester’s third and final time playing with the Bayside Conference teams this season.

“They played OK,” Prep Coach Don McMullen said. “The players enjoyed competing with the Bayside teams as they prepare us for our Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference matches.” Contributing to Worcester’s thirdplace finish were senior captains Colin Miller (43) and Matt Durkin (45), senior Jacob Meakin (50) and junior Devin Wallace (51). Decatur typically plays 10 regularseason matches each year. This year, the team will compete in 12, Stearman said. Tuesday’s match was the squad’s seventh of the season. “The team has played really well so far,” Stearman said. “We have gotten contributions from all the players on the team and now that we have our ‘big three’ back in Emily, Hayden and Brady we should be really strong the rest of the year.” Decatur’s next competition is Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at River Run Golf Club in Berlin.

“We played well, but not as good as we did against Snow Hill,” Greenwood said. “The competition was a little stiffer. We were sore, a little beat up and the stadium was wet from the rain the night before. “We missed some opportunities.

We just couldn’t finish,” he continued. “We’re going to work on that in practice.” Decatur will face the Parkside Rams on Saturday at 1 p.m. The winner will hold the top spot in the Bayside Conference South standings.

SD girls’ soccer team shuts out Wicomico, 9-0

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team netted six goals in the first half and scored three more in the second to win 9-0 over the Wicomico Indians on Tuesday in Berlin. “We played well overall. We worked on keeping possession of the ball and setting up chances to score in the box,” Decatur Coach Maggie Berke said. “We were trying some people in different positions to see what works best. We had a few injured players able to return, so [we were] working them in and seeing what the best lineup would be.” Sophomore Macy Dill led the Lady Seahawks with two goals. Seniors Taylor Curran, Mia Dill and Sofia Gordy, juniors Sarah Engle and Alyssa Romano, sophomore Brittyn Leonard and freshman Bridget Kemp tallied one goal apiece.

Junior Isy Kristick played in goal during the first half. Leonard took over in the second half. Neither were challenged. Decatur will battle the Snow Hill Eagles on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in Berlin.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Stephen Decatur football team, competing on its home field in Berlin for the first time this season, topped the Washington Jaguars, 46-7, last Thursday at Seahawk Stadium. “The boys were enthusiastic, they played with intensity [and] they were excited to play,” Decatur Coach Bob Knox said. “I think they like playing in the rain. It was ‘Seahawk weather.’” Decatur led 32-7 at halftime. In the second half, the Seahawks tacked on 14 points and held Washington scoreless. Junior Devin Waters led the Decatur offense. He rushed 22 times, racking up 242 yards and scoring four touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Sophomore London Drummond ran the ball 16 times for 195 yards. He added three touchdowns and a twopoint conversion.

“We didn’t throw the ball much, because of the conditions. It was a total running game,” Knox said. On the defensive end, senior Connor Carpenter had 10 tackles. DeCameron McAfee recorded seven tackles and one sack. Knox said the players’ intensity level and focus were the main contributors in the victory. “It was obvious they were prepared,” he said. “I hope they continue playing with that intensity this week.” Decatur will travel to Stevensville today, Friday, to battle the Kent Island Buccaneers at 7 p.m. Knox said earlier this week the team had a plan for Friday’s competition. “We told the kids this is a big challenge for them,” he said. “The recipe for success is to be physical, play every whistle, play every down through the whistle, be disciplined and run our feet [when blocking and tackling].”

Decatur cross country squads first in meet By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ and girls’ cross country teams both won last Wednesday’s six-school meet in Salisbury. “Times were definitely better than the first meet, but I expected that because the first meet was so hot,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “Overall, I thought it was a really good team performance. Our spread between our number one to five runners [on both teams] was very good and that made the difference for our

team outcomes. “I think the performances all around showed improvement from the first meet,” he continued. “The standout to me wasn’t any individual, but how our teams ran collectively.” The Decatur boys’ team scored 42 points in the victory. Cambridge was second with 62 points, followed by James M. Bennett with 93. Runners who scored points for Decatur were freshman Sam Woodley (fourth, 17:36.43), juniors Sam Rakowski (eighth, 18:37.43) and

Austin Cheynet (ninth, 18:52.02), freshman James Parana (10th, 18:52.64) and junior Carter McLendon (11th, 18:54.40). “On the boys side, it was very evident how our boys all pushed each other to run their best race. We had six or seven boys finish within two minutes of our first boy which shows the overall depth of the team,” Stigler said. “Having a good spread is especially important in a cross country race. It is evident in the girls’ side as well, although maybe not as obvious as in the boys. That is what stood out

to me more than any individual for the last meet.” The Lady Seahawks scored 37 points in the victory. Cambridge came in second place with a 38, followed by Pocomoke (149). Leading Decatur were seniors Dori Krasner (fourth, 22:10.49) and Kailey Andrews (sixth, 22:15.70), sophomore Mary Mergott (eighth, 23:29.97), sophomore Devon Kramer (ninth, 23:31.02) and senior Erica Hicks (10th, 23:42.05). The next meet is Wednesday on Decatur’s course in Berlin at 4 p.m.

Decatur volleyball players ‘solid’ overall during match

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 21, 2018) After losing the first volleyball game to the Wicomico Lady Indians, the Stephen Decatur Seahawks won the next three on their home court in Berlin on Tuesday. “Overall, they were solid,” Decatur Coach Sara Patrick said. “The first

game had too many missed serves and too many first passes close to the net. Once they settled and cleaned up those mistakes, the team played well.” Wicomico took the first game, 2523. Decatur bounced back and earned a 25-14 victory in the second. The Seahawks won the third and fourth games, 25-18.

The Mallards shut out their opponent, 7-0. “We played well, kind of slow in the first half but we picked it up in the second and had some great passing and shots,” Oxenreider said. Senior captain Hailee Arrington put Worcester on the board less than two minutes into the game. She netted her second about a minute later. Arrington tallied her third goal with 22 minutes left in the first half. Nechay made it 4-0 two minutes into the second half.

SURF REPORT

Dalkiewicz: Irons incredible surfer and very troubled man

By Dave Dalkiewicz Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2018) Before the internet, before DVD’s, before VHS tapes, there were movies, on film. Movies are still shown in theaters, on television and the internet for that matter. Granted, the format may be transferred to digital video, but what we’re talking about here is the social aspect, entertainment and informative value of going to the movies. Back in the day, when surf movies came to town, it was an absolute event. In most summers maybe a handful of these movies would play at the convention center. Promotion in the form of hand bills and posters would be distributed from Ocean City to Rehoboth Beach. These movies didn’t have plots or story lines. They were mainly footage of good surfing, usually filmed in winter months and then shown up and down both coasts by independent filmmakers in the summer season. A treat by any measure, it’s rare for one of these movies to make the rounds these days but this coming

week that is going to change. The movie, “Andy Irons: Kissed by God,” will be shown this Tuesday, Sept. 25, at the Ocean City Performing Arts Center located inside the convention center, on 40th Street, at 6 p.m. All in one breath, Irons was an incredible surfer and a very troubled man. Growing up on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai and Oahu there was plenty of opportunity to develop as a surfer and develop he did all the way to the highest competitive professional ranks. Winning world titles in 2002, 2003 and 2004 he was also a fourtime winner of the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown contests held every winter on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, are major events and considered to be an achievement just to qualify, never mind to actually win! Irons was also an outstanding free surfer with polished futuristic maneuvers that were amazing to watch. Unfortunately, there was also a dark side to Mr. Irons. He was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and tried to manage it with prescribed medication. Apparently there was also an eleSee IRON Page 85

SURF REPORT

Irons died in ‘10 while on World Contest Tour Continued from Page 84 ment of self-medication with recreational drugs. Again, the one breath of massive surfing ability, mental illness and probable drug addiction will most certainly come together in this

movie. Not to be one like the surf movies of old this showing will be multifaceted. A life story of a legend presented in a first class venue, Andy Irons’ tale is a caution to others.

Mental issues and drug problems are tough roads to negotiate. Pride can get in the way and reputations can be at stake. To seek help should be no different than an ER visit for a broken bone.

for patients and caregivers. The chapter kicked off its efforts with a weeklong “Pink Ball” event held in August. Eleven leagues participated and raised $4,835.

Tragically, Irons died in 2010 while on the World Contest Tour during a flight layover on a return trip to his Kauai home. This was during November of that year just prior to the start of another Triple Crown. His passing even made it to the obituary pages of The Washington Post. This won’t be a cheap date at $20 per ticket but proceeds will benefit the PRMC child and adolescent behavioral health unit. “Kissed by God” was a term used by Irons to describe the surfing of a wave. Hopefully that’s happening every day, all the time. — Dave Dalkiewicz is the owner of Ocean Atlantic Surf Shop in Ocean City.

Fall Sale!

(Sept. 21, 2018) Worcester County Recreation and Parks is offering Homeschool Gym for the first time this fall. Participants will improve their physical skills, enjoy fitness in a variety of recreation activities, and build their confidence in a structured, noncompetitive environment, Kelly Buchanan, program manager at the Worcester County Recreation and Parks, said. “It’s going to be an opportunity and a chance for homeschool children to come to the Worcester County Parks and Recreation Center and have an hour of different activities and sports each week,” Buchanan said. “We have six managers that work at the rec center and each week a different manager is going to take a class and teach.” Buchanan said organizers noticed that the homeschool population is increasing, so they wanted to offer a program for those students. “We would like to provide them with a chance to just be exclusive together,” Buchanan said. “We do have a lot of homeschool children that are joining one of our after school programs, which is tennis.” This past spring, Buchanan said 90 percent of the children that participated in the after school program are homeschool students.

“I thought there was a need for a program for them,” Buchanan said. “I thought it would make it convenient for us to have it more in the middle of the day, like a gym class, rather then in the afternoon.” If the program is successful, Buchanan said it could be provided more often. The program allows for an unlimited amount of children. If the ratio of participants to staff increases, Buchanan said that more staff will be added. “It’s a great opportunity for those children to play together,” Buchanan said. “They can socialize and make friends.” The Homeschool Gym program will take place at the Worcester County Recreation and Parks Center at 6030 Public Landing Road in Snow Hill on Thursdays from 1-2 p.m., Sept. 27 through Nov. 15. The program is open to children ages 5-14. The cost per child is $30, and $25 for each additional child. There is no deadline to registration. Participants can register the day of the program. For more information about the Homeschool Gym Program, contact Buchanan at 410-632-2144 ext. 2503 or kbuchanan@co.Worcester.md.us.
