Tuner cars greeted by strict law enforcement Ticket totals up, population down as modified car crowd attempts to dominate Coastal Highway
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher (Oct. 5, 2018) The difference between Atlantic City, New Jersey and Ocean City last weekend was the Jersey shore got a well-behaved H2O International car show and Ocean City got the people who forced it to flee to that venue. From last Thursday to Sunday, Ocean City was flooded with the modified small cars that never were part of H2Oi in the 19 years the event was staged locally, but showed up at the
same time and gave it a big black eye because of their owners’ rowdy and dangerous behavior. In a social media-inspired protest designed, ostensibly, to defy Ocean City’s deployment last year of the unwelcome mat, the H2O pretenders brought more of the same this year, but were met by the strongest law enforcement effort yet to muzzle the anticipated bad conduct. Police, aided by the new Special Event Zone law that lowered the speed limit to 30 mph and raised fines for violators, set a five-year record in tickets written over the four-day weekend, while warnings were down significantly.

Little cars make big noises, just because they can — with help
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Coastal Highway and the surrounding roads erupted over the weekend, as imported car aficionados descended on Ocean City not just to show off their rides, but also to demonstrate how loud and annoying they can be.

from the exhaust pipes of many of the vehicles were exactly what they sounded like: backfires, but these were purposely created, and otherwise pointless, backfires produced via auto technology normally applied to racing. Robert Perry, of Bridge Auto Repair, said car enthusiasts, like the ones who invaded Ocean City, had to “modify them to be able to do it.” It’s called “two stepping,” which involves tuning the engine a different way through See MODULE Page 71

Mathias and Carozza engaging in ad wars By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) Call it “The Battle of the Caucuses.” Anyone with a mailbox in Senate District 38 has probably received campaign mailers about incumbent Sen. Jim Mathias and challenger Delegate Mary Beth Carozza. The most recent batch, mailed late last week, came from the Maryland Democratic Caucus Committee and the Maryland Senate Republican Caucus. One ad, from the Democrats, states, “When Eastern Shore Schools Needed Her Most, DELEGATE CAROZZA ANSWERED WITH A BIG ‘NO.’” The mailer calls Carozza a “career Washington, D.C. insider” and says she voted against increasing the Eastern Shore’s education funding in the state budget, and against increasing access to higher education and modernizing school construction. A Republican ad states, “Jim Mathias [is] PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING HE’S NOT,” with a photo of a literal wolf in sheep’s clothing. The reverse side of the mailer shows Mathias with Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Ben Jealous and a separate photo of former Governor Martin O’Malley, adding, “Jim Mathias likes to pretend he’s a moderate … but in Annapolis he shows his true liberal self.” Additional claims in the ad include that Mathias “voted for all eight of Martin O’Malley’s bloated state budgets that” increased taxes and fees, created in billions in deficits, and “wasted millions on little-used mass transit in the Baltimore metro area while Eastern Shore roads crumbled.” “A wolf in sheep’s clothing, Mathias voted against Governor Hogan again and again. Mathias’ support of tax increases and job-killing regulations have showed us who he really is,” the ad says. Mathias, in a phone interview Friday, said there is a clear difference in the tone of the ads. “Last week I looked like a child predator peering through closed blinds and it
Voters should be mindful of coming registration deadlines Continued from Page 3 City Clerk’s Office, by mail or by hand, no later than Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. Absentee voters should be mindful that the process, when done by mail, takes time. Therefore, voters are encouraged to allow plenty of time to receive, complete and deliver their ballots. Early voting centers will not include the municipal election on the early voting ballot.

asked what I was hiding. Before that, it was something else. Before that, I was trying to make it easier to buy heroin in your neighborhood than ice cream,” Mathias said. “Unfortunately, that’s the manner that they’ve chosen to communicate with the voters – through scare tactics and clearly maligning me as a person. “When you look at votes and someone voting ‘no’ versus attacking their character, to me, right there, there’s an entirely different standard,” he continued. “And it’s truly the battle of the caucuses. And my caucus has had enough of it. How long do you want to get pummeled? Until you lose? How long do you want to be portrayed as a sinister person that has mal intent for their constituents?”
Mathias said the campaign has also included a number of ads that pop up online. “It’s also what daughter saw on the internet when she went to put some pictures up [and] what my sister saw when she was playing Scrabble,” he said. “It’s the same trash, only invading their computers and their handheld devices. “Am I crying? No. My approach continues to be the high road,” Mathias said. He added the Democratic ad included a “fact checker” of specific House Bills that were referenced. It also includes a link to Carozza’s LinkedIn profile. However, the Republican mailer also references Senate Bills, House Bills, a See MATHIAS Page 7

Democrat’s and Republican’s ads target Senate District 38 Continued from Page 5 veto override and an online story about highway user revenues. “All I can tell you is, the caucus has had enough. They respect me. They respect my voice in the caucus and this is the manner that they have communicated,” Mathias said. “What the Republican Caucus wants to do is vacate me as a human being.” He went on to say the Democratic ads focus on votes, rather than whether Carozza was trustworthy. “It talks about votes. It talks about action,” he said. “The caucus is creating a contrast … between my votes that we’re expected to do when we represent the public, versus character and calling my trustworthiness into question. “They’re calling upon my constituents and my neighbors to not trust me, and the pictures that they’re portraying me as are enough to scare you – they’re scare tactics,” Mathias added. “That’s a clear attempt to damage me and my life that I’ve made here as a public official, and a person that has asked people to vest their trust and confidence in me. “It’s a clear attempt to decay that, to erode that, to damage that, versus showing the difference in bills that are critically important on an issue like education,” he said. With the election fast approaching on Nov. 6, Mathias said the both campaigns were in the seventh-inning stretch. He said he’s been a champion of farmers, commercial watermen, small businesses and education, and an overall effective voice for the Eastern Shore. Meanwhile, he said his opposition has gone over the top in its negativity. “This is about strict partisan politics to take the Democrat out … vilifying, demonizing, photo-shopping – that’s what it’s about,” Mathias said. Carozza, reached for comment, referred to a Friday morning post on the “Mary Beth Carozza for Senate” Facebook page titled “Setting the Record Straight.” “I have been asked by constituents and supporters about a misleading mailer that was paid for by the Maryland Democratic Senate Caucus that distorts my voting record on education. The incumbent is getting desperate, so here are the facts.
“Unlike Jim Mathias, who voted for every wasteful budget that Martin O’Malley put forward with no questions asked, I’m willing to vote ‘NO’ on a budget when wasteful spending is added late in the game, and that’s why I ran for office in the first place, to hold the line on excessive spending. This was the case in 2015 when I joined with Gov. Hogan in opposing the final version of the state’s budget – that’s the vote that Jim Mathias and his friends in Annapolis are now using to attack me. I will always stand up against these types of last-minute partisan maneuvers. “I am also proud to have stood against legislation that eliminated Gov. Hogan’s oversight of school construction funding and gave that power to unelected bureaucrats and placed it at the mercy of backroom deals. Jim Mathias voted for this irresponsible and disastrous bill, and then voted to override Governor Hogan’s veto. We can’t take four more years of Jim Mathias siding with Baltimore and Annapolis power brokers over our values,” Carozza said. In a September interview in this paper, Carozza said there is a clear contrast between the candidates in terms of voting records, and in local and state partnerships. In particular, Carozza said she worked closely with Gov. Larry Hogan and had a record of “consistently voting to sustain Hogan’s vetoes.” “This defining contrast between the two of us on the vetoes is very, very key,” Carozza said. “I do not – and will never – have to check with [Senate President] Mike Miller on how I’m going to vote on an issue, to see if they have enough votes

to override the governor and, then it’s OK, then you can vote your district, which is the complete wrong approach to representing District 38.” She indicated a prior campaign ad sent by the Republic Party stating “Jim Mathias Is Making It Easier To Get Heroin Than Ice Cream!” may have gone too far, but said Mathias’ support of Senate Bill 288 was wrong. “I want to be clear: I strongly opposed that – he sponsored it,” Carozza said. She added, via text message on Mon-
day, “I am making a strong and convincing case that there are clear contrasts between us based on the facts. Voters need to know the differences between us on our approach to public service, our positions, and our voting records. As I personally go door to door in all three counties, the support for my State Senate campaign continues to build each and every day. Voters are telling me that it’s time for a change. I am running for State Senate to be a strong voice for the Shore.”

RENDERING COURTESY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
A rendering of the completed Second Street Public Works Complex was shown during the Ocean City Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 1.
PW Complex construction begins
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The Second Street Public Works building is finally in the works … for next year, after Ocean City Council on Monday discussed bid evaluations and went on to approve the next step. Ocean City Public Works Director Hal Adkins and Dan Dashiell, senior project manager, contracted with Westminster-based Morgan Design Group earlier this year to develop plans for a roughly 19,500-square-foot building with 31 parking spaces on a 35,500square-foot lot on St. Louis Avenue, between Second and Third streets, that the city acquired last year for parking. Earlier in the year, Adkins noted the
original bidding options would be far more expensive than the city needed to pay. To remedy the pricing concern, Adkins suggested restructuring the project bid documents to create a design-build bid, which had been approved. The design stuck with the original floor plan, while giving the bidder flexibility to put together a submission, allowing for lower prices. Now, the total project cost for the 2nd Street Public Works Complex is $3.8 million, including the fire pump and the Delmarva Power transformer and primary cabling costs. A bond issue in 2018 included funds for this capital project and has $2.9 million re-
maining, leaving $894,923 to be financed. The facility will be constructed by Delmarva Veteran Builders, who were the low bid winners at $3,775,000. The development will take 425 days to complete. “I’m excited about where this is going,” Adkins told the council. In January, Adkins estimated delaying the project until after summer would allow the city to collect an estimated $35,000 in parking revenue at the Second Street location. He has recommended waiting another summer season to go forward with construction for similar reasons. The council voted unanimously for the motion to be approved.
Bike committee uses new program
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) A new group productivity tool was introduced and approved by the Ocean City Council Monday at the request of the Ocean City Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Members of the committee will now use Slack, a communication channel employed by work groups to correspond and collaborate on a single computer platform.
The website will be used to eliminate the need for long email chains, participants can join or leave channels as needed and can be organized more affectively. The committee members also have been provided a link to Dropbox, where group files are saved. A link to the Slack platform will be provided to all members in the event that group discussions need to take place before a regularly scheduled meeting.
Other segments of the overview given to the council included information about GIS Maps, to map safe biking routes throughout the town. Only members of the committee were provided these maps and will be available for internal review regarding the safety of the routes already noted and being considered. Baltimore Avenue is a road being considered for potential bike safety implementation and installation of signs for bike-friendly awareness.

Paddack announces OC Council candidacy
(Oct. 5, 2018) Mark Paddack of Ocean City, a 28-year veteran of the Ocean City Police Department, this declared his candidacy for the City Council of Ocean City. Paddack filed the requisite paperwork at City Hall earlier in the week. “I am pleased and honored to announce my candidacy for the City Council of Ocean City,” Paddack said. “When I was considering my run for the Ocean City Council, I was asked ‘Why do you want to run for Ocean City Council?’ I said that my answer is very straightforward: ‘I believe in
LIKE US ON
Ocean City.’ Paddack said he believes his public safety background will be a great asset as a city councilman but does not define him as a resident. “As an almost three-decade servant of Ocean City’s public safety system, I know the local residents Mark Paddack and small businesses that make our town work,” he said. “I am familiar with every single square block of the Town
of Ocean City. Wherever the citizens live in town and where they may work or shop, I have been there and can understand their concerns. I have listened to their thoughts over the decades and moreover helped resolved many of the individual challenges facing our residents and businesses.” Paddack points to four issues that he believes are of vital interest to Ocean City residents: maintaining the current tax rate and the services paid for with taxes, eliminating noise and congestion associated with motor ve-
hicle events, find an acceptable solution to the offshore wind energy issue, establish an agreement with county government on a tax differential. Paddack has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Baltimore. A sergeant with the OCPD, he has worked in four different divisions: Patrol, Services, Criminal Investigation, and Administrative. The council election coincides with the county, state and national election on Nov. 6, with voting taking place at the convention center.

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) The Citizen Police Academy in Ocean City is going strong after more than two decades, with signup generally doubling the amount of available space. The annual 10-week course, which this year started Sept. 11, is held in partnership with the Ocean Pines Police department, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Maryland State Police at the Ocean City Public Safety Building on 6501 Coastal Highway. Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey returned to the program this year after an absence of several years. “We [as Ocean Pines Police] have just joined. I was the one that instituted it when I was the Ocean City police chief, back in the 1990s,” Massey said. “In the Citizen’s Police Academy, you bring citizens in, you explain the department, [and] you bring different
people in from the department,” he continued. “One week we’re talking with detectives, next week with the K9 unit, and it basically educates the public on what the police department does and introduces them to people in the department.” A recent class also sent students to a firing range with a range instructor, he said. “They got to fire a weapon and to observe K-9s, so it’s a hands-on kind of thing,” Massey said. “It just builds a lot more trust for the public when they know the job a police officer does. And, they get a personal touch, because they get to know the police officers personally.” Classes are limited to 30 people and Massey said about 75 signed up this year, proving it continues to be popular.

Successful tests reported for WC emergency radio systems
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Another Worcester P25 Radio System update came before the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday, as once again the commissioners were informed of the latest testing results of the new communications system. Director of Emergency Services Fred Webster has been reporting to the commissioners routinely to appease some concerns made about the quality of the new communication service and how it affects police radios and other emergency service transmissions. The final coverage testing of the system was scheduled to take place the first week of September. The De-
partment of Emergency Services provided a file including documentation and data related to internal system testing. The tests were conducted with different equipment setups to simulate coverage inside of homes, buildings and other structures of construction types that may be reasonably expected in those areas, such as schools, hospitals and county or state buildings. Additional tests were performed to ensure a mobile radio would receive sufficient coverage along anticipated routes to Peninsula Regional Medical Center and to ensure certain critical buildings had coverage within them. According to the summary of results, the tests were successful overall.
Citizen Police Academy still popular attraction for locals Continued from Page 10 worker, signed up for the course this year. A member of the Ocean Pines Election Committee and a former candidate for the association’s board of directors, Wascak said she enrolled because she retired, but wanted to continue learning. “I moved here because of Ocean City,” she said. “I love Ocean Pines, but I moved here to be near to the beach, so I definitely am involved in any issues that go on in Ocean City and I want to be aware of them. “I also like to advocate for the folks in the neighborhood, as well as myself, when situations arise,” she continued. “How do we, as citizens, address certain situations? Do you get involved, or do you call the police?” Last Tuesday, she said, the course focused on how citizens can be more aware and “be a good witness.” “When you see something and you can’t get involved, but you can take a picture, learn to be a good witness. And it’s the hardest thing,” Wascak said. To prove that point, she said a patrol officer showed the class a video of a fight occurring at a local nightclub and then asked questions about what they saw. “We all had a different answer,” she said. “We didn’t know what color the guy’s hair was. We had the swim trunks all wrong. It was just amazing.”
The class watched the video a second time and took notes, “and we still had it wrong,” Wascak said. “We were so off base it wasn’t funny,” she said. “So, I’ve been practicing all week when I’ve been riding my bike – what color was that car? What was the license plate? Be vigilant and be aware of what’s going on, because you never know … it’s amazing what you don’t pick up in an emergency situation.” Citizens also got a glimpse into the legal system, with States Attorneyelect Kris Heiser providing an overview. “She was very thorough and very good,” Wascak said. “She walked us through these scenarios for an hour and a half and it was amazing.” Additional information during the course included an overview of the Ocean City Police Department structure, including how many officers work during the summer and the offseason, and how the volunteer auxiliary officer program works. “My main thing is to keep learning about my new neighborhood – and my new neighborhood involves Ocean City,” Wascak said.

Route 589 to close Oct. 8 for road work
(Oct. 5, 2018) A road closure is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 8 along Route 589 at Turville Creek, just south of Gum Point Road in Ocean Pines. Crews with the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will work to complete “significant slope repair, which will require a complete closure and detour of Route 589 for up to eight weeks,” according to MDOT SHA District Community Liaison Bob Rager. Signage will direct motorists to use routes 50, 113 and 90. Access to businesses within the project area will be maintained during construction, but delays should be expected.

Watch out for flashing yellow lights Expanded ‘Move Over’ law requires drivers to be aware of service and utility trucks
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) Maryland Drivers should be on the lookout for vehicles with flashing yellow lights, as well as emergency vehicles, because of the expanded “Move Over Law” that took effect Oct. 1. According to a press release from the State Highway Administration, Maryland’s “Move Over” law now includes transportation, service and utility vehicles, as well as waste and recycling trucks, with yellow or amber flashing lights or signal devices. These vehicles join the list of protected vehicles under the state’s current law, which includes emergency response and law enforcement vehicles, as well as tow trucks. The expanded law requires drivers to yield the lane to vehicles with red, yellow or amber flashing lights when moving can be done safely. “This movement should only be done if another lane in the same direction is available and the move can be made safely and without impeding other traffic,” the release said. “If the driver is unable to make a lane
change, the law requires drivers to slow to a reasonable and prudent speed that is safe for existing conditions while passing the emergency or service vehicles.” Department of Transportation and State Highway Administrator Gregory Slater said he is pleased the law now protects service and utility vehicles. “Safety is our number one priority,” Slater said. “Our employees work alongside active roadways, daily and with every glance away from the road, each time a driver reads a text message, answers a phone call, or fails to move over their safety is jeopardized. Please move over to help ensure a safer work environment for our employees.” According to the release, drivers who erroneously steered into work areas killed several State Highway Administration workers during recent years. They include Eddie Gilyard, killed in November 2013 while working on the shoulder of I-695 near Belair Road in Baltimore County, and Rick Moser, struck and killed along a I270 ramp in 2007. In Howard County, contractor Erick Meekins was killed in June 2013 while setting up cones on Route 216 near Route 29 in Howard County, the release said.
The Berlin Fire Company on Monday posted additional tips for the new law on its official Facebook page. According to the post, under the expanded law emergency vehicles are defined as: •Vehicles of federal, state or local law enforcement agencies •Vehicles of volunteer fire companies, rescue squads, fire departments, the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems, and the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute •State vehicles used in response to oil or hazardous materials spills •State vehicles designated for emergency use by the Commissioner of Correction Ambulances •Special vehicles funded or provided by federal, state, or local government and used for emergency or rescue purposes According to the State Highway Administration, violations of the “Move Over Law” result in a misdemeanor. Basic violations can result in a $110 fine and Motor Vehicle Administration assessment of one point against the driver’s license. If the violation contributes to a crash, the fine increases to $150 and three points are assessed. If death or serious bodily injury occurs, the fine is $750.

Bunting calls for nuisance abatement of Bishopville lot By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Worcester County Commissioner Jim Bunting expressed his concerns with a dilapidated property in Bishopville during Tuesday’s commissioners meeting and was rewarded for his trouble. After hearing numerous reports on the hazards the property might pose, the commissioners agreed to begin what’s known as a nuisance abatement process, which requires the property owner to remedy the situation of have the county do it at the owner’s expense. The property is said to be the remnants of an old movie theater at the corner of Bishopville Road and St. Martin’s Neck Road. The derelict structure has spurred countless complaints over the years, including stories of rats and refuse on the property, according to information presented to the commissioners to buttress calls for action. Bunting echoed many of those grievances and questioned what was under the tarps on the property. “Anybody can take one look at just the photographs and see these tarps are not placed over it properly,” Bunting said. “Lord knows what’s underneath there.” Following complaints of “rubbish, trash, junk, and rats,” the health department attempted to conduct an inspection on the property, but because of a

“no trespassing sign,” inspectors had to do a “common view inspection” on Sept. 25. Bart Dorsch, an inspector of property, said he had to do his inspection from the road. Bunting countered the health department’s assessment. “I actually sat there one evening at dusk, and I saw two rats come out of there and run across the parking lot,” Bunting said. Dorsch said he “listened for rats, and looked for rat holes,” but Bunting questioned the results. “Would it be accurate to say then that you actually know nothing about what’s going on underneath those tarps and situation?” Bunting asked. Dorsch responded “that would be accurate,” but made attempts to further explain the constraints that prevented him from conducting a thorough inspection. “So, basically, the comments from the health department are not worth anything,” Bunting said. Bunting cited several environmental hazards listed in the memorandum on the property’s circumstances. “I think it’s time for us to do something, and I think I’ve mentioned enough areas that this could fall under as a problem, and I think it should be a two-pronged attack on this property,” Bunting said.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Almost one year after her husband was killed during car rally in Ocean City, resident Renae Lawlor pleaded with the Ocean City Council to find a way to reduce traffic during those kinds of special events. Her husband was struck and killed by a State police vehicle on Oct. 6 last year during the Endless Summer Cruisin’ festivities. The state trooper driving the car was on his way to assist another officer when Thomas Lawlor, 57, apparently walked into its path. “I have a personal reason to be here,” said Lawlor on Monday. “My husband
was killed during a car show event last year. I really didn’t want to be here … but I thought it was my civic duty to be before you and tell my story. “What I want to talk about is the amount of traffic,” she continued. “If you really want to get real about solving these problems, you have to look at the [number] of cars that you let in town. How to do it, I don’t know. Is it going to cost people money because you are not going to allow these cars here? Probably. That’s number one because no amount of constraint, policies or eightfoot sidewalks are going to change the amount of cars you have on a 10-mile
island. It’s just not going to do it.” Lawlor referred to the overwhelming number of cars that dominate the highway during car show events such as Endless Summer or the unsanctioned tuner car event last week. Lawlor addressed the city’s efforts such as the implementation of the special event zone, with reduced speed limits and higher fines as a deterrent for danger road behaviors. “[Also], I want to find out what policies have you looked at as far as fatigue and distracted driving on part of EMS and the town, and the police,” Lawlor See REPORT Page 19
Bunting calls property ‘just wrong’ Continued from Page 14 if items are fenced in or inside the structure itself, according to the memorandum. The property owner had it fenced, and has fixed the fencing in the past upon request. “The code prohibits the outdoor accumulation of personal property occupying an area of greater than [100] square feet per lot,” Director of Development, Review and Permitting Edward Tudor said. Codes also prohibit an excess of
trash in an area –as it can be a fire hazard, and could cause “the inhabitation of rats, mice, snakes, or vermin,” Tudor added. If stagnant water accumulates, it could create a breeding ground for insects that could pose a threat to the community. “I think an area that accumulates fresh water and makes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and attract other vermin, I think is a health or safety issue,” Bunting said. Bunting also said the property is
near Bishopville Pond, which could be a problem in the event of runoff. Other commissioners also asked questions in relation to the septic system. “In my opinion this is a junkyard in the middle of a community where a lot of people take pride in their houses and the way it looks,” Bunting said. “For this to continue to exist is just wrong.” Bunting then made a motion to proceed with the nuisance abatement process, and after being seconded, it was unanimously approved.

OC Council hears zoning sidewalk proposal
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The Ocean City Council’s first reading of an ordinance that would attach a sidewalk-widening clause to certain conditional use zoning designations ended up being less than pedestrian. At issue was whether a measure that would require wider sidewalks on some properties in those circumstances would be tantamount to taking private property. The zoning code amendments, which carried the endorsement of the Planning Commission, would require 8-foot rather than 5-foot sidewalks in conditional use cases, when feasible. Councilman Wayne Hartman especially had concerns over adding an additional three feet of sidewalk if it infringes
on private property. “How can we have the city require to put sidewalks on someone’s private property and make it open to the public,” Hartman said during the meeting. “We’re mandating somebody use private property for a public purpose.” Later this week, however, Planning Director Bill Neville said Hartman’s concern might have been the result of a miscommunication, since the proposed amendment is nowhere near as severe as the council might have believed. “I think what the planning committee considered in forwarding their recommendation is that this standard is only going to apply to a project that is being proposed for site plan approval,” Neville said on Monday. “That’s not a manda-
tory situation. This is a landowner who requested their property be developed.” The amendment was created in order to create more 8-foot-wide sidewalks in areas where construction is underway, or being planned. Completed projects and currently finished locations are not being considered. Private property is not at risk of losing land or ownership as a result of the amendment, he said. “This may not work in every location,” Neville said. “This will not affect residential areas on the bayside. Not unless they file a site plan.” Mayor Rick Meehan agreed with the director, and believes the additional three feet could make the resort a better place.
“It may be done with an easement or some other agreement, I think that’s perfectly fine,” Meehan said. “I think the goal should be to try to throughout our community make it a more livable, walkable community. I think that’s the most important thing.” The ordinance eventually reached a vote, though all parties involved agreed amended language and new suggestions were required before returning to the council for a second reading. The council vote was 6-1, with Hartman being the only opposed. The Department of Planning and Community Development will meet to revise and clarify the ordinance today (Friday) in order to incorporate the correct language and alleviate concerns.
Report shows pedestrian risk in car shows Continued from Page 16 said. “Has a committee member looked at those items?” She specifically spoke to Mayor Rick Meehan and Councilman Tony DeLuca regarding the safety efforts required to avoid more tragedies from occurring in the future. “Recently, in the report, 22 pedestrian collisions occurred, two fatalities,” Lawlor said regarding statistics from
last year. “Both occurred during car show events. Members of the council and Meehan expressed their gratitude for Lawlor approaching them about the issue and said they will consider her insights. “Your comments were compelling and what we sometimes need to hear to move forward in the right direction,” said Meehan. “Sometimes, comments like that help guide us as we look for so-
lutions. We’ll be vigilant in our pursuit to find answers for this community.” Councilman John Gehrig also thanked Lawlor for her testimony, and assured her the council is genuinely concerned about the matter. “I’m sorry for your loss and we take those suggestions very seriously,” Gehrig said. “We know there are challenges and none of us want those challenges. There is positive momentum
with the (motor events task force) committee and if we’re given the latitude for further enforcement, I think we can really solve some of these problems, but it is moving in the right direction. “None of us want these problems and you have our commitment, and I think I speak for all of us, that we’re going to work our tails off to make this right for all of us because we live here too,” he said.

Wor. New Teacher Induction Program strives for success
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) New teachers won’t have to go it alone in Worcester County Public Schools this year. The New Teacher Induction Program provides myriad resources for educators new to teaching in the county. Shirleen Church, coordinator of new teacher induction, professional learning and minority student achievement for Worcester County Public Schools, said the program aims to “make sure they grow and become successful, … effective instructors.” Church said the mentorship component of the program allows new educators to get “that social and emotional support that support that many times teachers need.” Mentors can also provide instruction to further the mentee’s progress. “Those mentors play a very important part in the success of our teachers,” Church said. The teacher shortage is nationwide, with 14.2 percent of teachers leaving the school or profession, as compared to 11.9 percent in Maryland, according to the Learning Policy Institute. Church stressed the need to give new teachers the building blocks to thrive as educators. “The main goal is to make them suc-

cessful, because if they feel they’re not successful, they’re going to leave us,” she said. Church detailed the four-day orientation for new teachers in the Shirleen Church program, which includes education on the district’s policies, learning “effective instructional content areas,” and working with mentors. The three-year program for new county teachers aims to set them up for success prior to the opportunity for tenure, which eventually benefits the district through high retention rates. “We have to do the best we can to recruit and get our teachers here, but we have to keep them successful so they stay here in the career,” Church said. Church said the district is revamping the existing New Teacher Induction Program, and values feedback from its educators. A key takeaway, Church pointed out, was “to give more time with our coordinators,” with the hopes new teachers will understand their systems, practices and policies. “We want to be sure that we’re always engaging them, especially with some of our digital platforms,” Church said.

The municipal water tower located on 64th Street, near the Route 90 bridge, will receive a final draft plan for the paint design it requires. The new design will remove the darker blue band and recolor the letters to be easier to see.

Program allows for mentorship Continued from Page 20 Worcester County Public Schools had a 92.64 percent retention rate for the 2017-2018 school year. Church cited the test scores and support from the district. “Number one, it’s a great county to be in,” Church said. “If you look at our test scores, we’re top in the state in many areas, and you know I just think we work really hard to give teachers what they need.” • Pocomoke Elementary School For first grade teachers Lavonya Dashiell and Jordan Price at Pocomoke Elementary School, their mentorship provides a veteran perspective for a rookie teacher. “She’s done it before, so I do like the fact that mentor teachers have done it before and their seasoned in it as well,” Price said. “I see only benefits from it.” Price said she held a long-term substitute position last year, but this is her first year teaching. Dashiell has taught for 19 years. Dashiell said she hopes to instill the importance of “(taking) it one day at a time,” and not rushing the teaching process. Price said she appreciates her “closeknit team,” and while teaching can be an individual profession in some place, there is a true willingness to help within the county’s public school system. “It’s like [every] man for themselves, but in Worcester County everyone kind of looks out for everyone, and there’s lots of resources that are always made available ...and I think that’s very unique to Worcester County,” Price said. Dashiell stressed the need for new teachers to feel comfortable in their school. She added the county’s school system provides that. “I think it’s a good support system, and when people don’t feel supported or appreciated, then they burn out faster,” Dashiell said. Price emphasized the need for a safe space for new teachers, where they aren’t judged too harshly, by themselves or others. “That’s important because I feel like first-year teachers get a lot of judgment,” Price said. “It’s not like it is in college, and there’s a lot of judgment put on yourself, and sometimes you might feel it from others, but with this mentoring program you don’t feel it at all.” Price said she appreciates the willingness for other teachers on her team and in her school to have a dialogue about
any issues she may encounter in the classroom, and never “feel(s) like I’m battling my own battles.” • Snow Hill Elementary School Snow Hill Elementary School educators Dalton Duncan and Connie West find the New Teacher Induction Program helpful in more ways than one. In his first year teaching in Worcester County Public Schools, Duncan handles third grade. Mentor West is an instructional math coach, and has taught for 27 years. “I look at the mentorship as a bridge that will help connect me to being the very best teacher I can,” Duncan said in an email. “With Mrs. West already in the building, it gives me a sense of safety and security.”

Duncan said being a new teacher, he appreciates her willingness to share experiences and provide help. “I want first-year teachers to know that they have chosen the very best profession,” West said in an email. “I want them to be excited, innovative and creative.” For West, she said it’s about setting her mentee up for success. “The program allows me, as a mentor, to give a new teacher the experiences to allow them to discover the possibilities they can encounter with not only the students in their class, but the students in their whole school,” West said in an email. Duncan said the New Teacher Induction Program provides a sense of transparency for the students. “I think it is very valuable that our students see and hear how adults communicate with each other,” Duncan said in an email. “It really enhances the old See YOU Page 24

‘You are never too old to learn’ Continued from Page 22 adage, ‘You are never too old to learn.’” West said she understands how difficult it can be for new teachers, and strives to help get them acclimated to school policies and procedures. “The first year of teaching can be stressful, overwhelming and often leave you with a feeling of ‘unsureness,’” West said in an email. “By establishing a mentorship, new teachers have multiple opportunities to fine-tune their craft.” West said she appreciates how determined new teachers like Duncan are to be the best teacher they can be, and added she sometimes picks up their techniques. “I love their enthusiasm, their knowledge of technology and their eagerness to want to learn and always improve,” West said in an email. “I make it a point to learn something from them!” • Stephen Decatur Middle School Stephen Decatur Middle School seventh grade teachers Lauren McCormack and Michelle Hammond agree teaching can be lonely at times, but the program provides a sense of camaraderie. “I’ve worked in isolation before as a teacher, and it just it feels so much better,” McCormack said. “Like I just feel so much less anxious even though this is my first year in this school, then I have in the past.” McCormack has been teaching for three years, but this is her first year at the school in Berlin — within Worcester County Public Schools. Her mentor, Hammond, has taught for 24 years. Hammond said she thinks the program allows for the encouragement and assistance she feels is lacking among ed-
ucators. “I think overall support for every teacher across the board,” Hammond said. “I think teachers in general I do not feel supported.” McCormack added the opportunity to have a veteran teacher as a mentor allows her to anticipate the unexpected in a classroom scenario. “So that is really helpful, because really time is the only way you’re going to gain that ability,” McCormack said. The program allows for four paid hours per month outside of school for the pair to discuss topics and work through any issues. Both said being on the same “planning schedule” is helpful, as they can meet during the day and plan lessons. McCormack added she participates in new teacher nights once a month to gain additional knowledge on a myriad of teaching topics. Having a mentee also allows veteran teachers to get a fresh perspective in the classroom in a digital age. Hammond said she’s seen a difference in her students and the way they learn throughout the years. “We’re not teaching the same kids I had in 1993,” Hammond said. As a teacher new to the county’s school district, McCormack said she appreciated the opportunity to continue learning in a positive manner. “It’s not them condemning you for not having it all figured out, but it’s how can we help you fix the problem?” McCormack said. “So, I think the feeling of support and it kind of decreases the pressure that teachers feel already, and it helps you just kind of learn what you need to in order to be effective.”

More than 2,000 hot rods, classics, muscle cars, trick trucks and customs will be featured this weekend during Ocean City’s 21st annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event.
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The 21st annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event kicked off Thursday and will take place throughout the weekend in the Ocean City inlet parking lot and at the convention center on 40th Street. Over 2,000 hot rods, street machines, trick trucks, customs and classics will be featured during one of the eastern region’s largest fall car shows. “We’re really excited about the event this year,” Meredith Herbert, Cruisin’ organizer and promoter, said. “Fall is the perfect time to visit the beach and Endless seems to be a great opportunity for people to get out and show off their cars before having to put them away for the winter.” Show hours for both the inlet and convention center are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The Grand Finale Car Show and Awards Ceremony will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the inlet. Last year, thousands of people attended to see over 2,200 vehicles on display, according to Herbert. “Many people make Endless Summer their end-of-the-summer vacation,” Herbert said. “You’ll see moms, dads,

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Yo ho, yo ho, it’s a pirate’s life for Jason. The iconic song was the theme last Saturday when a 7-year-old boy had his desire to be a pirate for a day fulfilled. Jason’s wish was to have a pirate adventure hunt, according to Make-AWish. His family traveled from their Arlington, Virginia home to Ocean City to take part in various activities including a treasure hunt. Jason’s mother, Christine, said the events on Saturday stemmed from pure imagination. “So they asked him for a wish and we kind of said, ‘It’s Make-A-Wish, so try to be really creative,’” Christine said. Make-A-Wish strives to give children diagnosed with illnesses a day they’ll never forget by granting a wish, according to the organization’s website. The adventure culminated Saturday morning on the Duckaneer Pirate Ship, on Talbot Street in Ocean City, where Jason was able to meet Captain Jack Sparrow, participate in a water fight and pose for pictures with his family and other buccaneers. Tara Wilson-Jones, vice president of marketing and communications for Make-A-Wish, called Jason’s experience Saturday a “celebration,” as he is in remission for Leukemia. “He’s through the really tough, tough stuff … not only is he victorious over that pirate, that Captain Jack, but he’s victorious over Leukemia,” Wilson-Jones said. Jason’s parents agreed the day was a success. “I think it drastically exceeded [Jason’s] expectations,” his father, David, said. For Jason, “getting to dig in the sand” for buried treasure was his favorite activity of the day. He also said he enjoyed the water guns and pirates. Christine said she was looking forward to the activities, “but we had no idea that it would be this spectacular and that it would be this involved.” There are many moving parts that go into making a day special for each child, Wilson-Jones said. In Jason’s case, the Make-A-Wish crew needed a ship, pirates and treasure, which all stems from community engagement. “When we set out to plan a wish, the primary goal for us is to figure out the See BOY Page 28

Fall Cruisers event in Berlin hosted by chamber, Saturday
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) Rare, vintage and other types of classic cars and trucks will line the streets of downtown Berlin on Saturday, during the annual Fall Cruisers event hosted by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Executive Director Larnet St. Amant expects several hundred participants during what is the final major 2018 event for the nonprofit. St. Amant said event organizers start parking cars at 6 a.m. Registration must be completed by 10 a.m., and the registration fee is $10. The first 50 entrees will receive a commemorative dash plaque. Pre-registration is not required. “We’ll take people until we’re at capacity and can’t take anybody else,” St. Amant said. Viewing of the competition is scheduled from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., with judging set to start at 11 a.m. and trophies handed out at 2 p.m. Awards will be given for categories
including Classic, Hot Rod, Truck, People’s Choice and Best in Show. Along with participants, Falls Cruisers also generally brings several hundred spectators to provide a jolt to the local economy. Visitors shop in the downtown stores and boutiques, eat at local restaurants, and have a few drinks in the wine bar and brewery. “Cruisers is always a good time,” Berlin Economic and Community Development Director Ivy Wells said. “For those of us who still admire antique and historic cars, it’s a good time to come downtown and see historic cars in a historic setting.” “We’re just looking forward to another great year and welcoming all our loyal Cruising fans and their cars,” St. Amant said. “Come by and check out Berlin and all the great cars.” For more information, contact the Berlin Chamber of Commerce at 410641-4775 or visit www.berlinchamber.org/events/spring-fall-cruisers-2 018.

Amid the stress associated with treatment, Wilson-Jones said Make-AWish provides some control. “So it’s something to look forward to, a respite from everything they’re going through,” Wilson-Jones said. Wilson-Jones said navigating the logistical elements of executing a child’s vision is well worth it when it comes to fruition. “He’s an amazing, inspirational boy, and we’re lucky to know him and be part of his life for a short period of time to grant his wish,” Wilson-Jones said.

Hand Dance Club presents $2,000 for pup’s training
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) A tail-wagging donation was made to the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 850 last Wednesday, during a weekly Delmarva Hand Dance Club meeting at the Elks Lodge on 138th Street and Sinepuxent Avenue in Ocean City. A check for $2,000 was presented to the Chapter to sponsor “Sargeant Bob,” a 3-month-old Labrador puppy in training as a service animal. Sargeant Bob will be given to a Delaware veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury when his training is complete. Chapter 850 created CASH, Canines Assisting Service Heroes, last year after attending a fundraiser in Dover in support of Rebuilding Warriors. “Two and a half years ago, we started this program for PTSD and TBI veterans, men and women coming back from overseas,” Chapter 850 President Joe Startt said. “It’s dear to our heart and we’ve donated two dogs so far. We donated one last year to Jersey, but this year we donated one Sept. 8 down to the American Legion here in Millsboro [Delaware].” In January, the chapter reached out to Nelson Miller of Riedel K9, a local trainer

who specializes in working with service dogs, to create a local program. Within a few weeks of the program’s inception, a black Labrador puppy was donated. Named “Cash,” the dog was trained over a series of months and was presented to a Delaware veteran in early September. “Our first dog we [donated] was with Rebuilding Warriors,” Chapter 850 Vice President Ray Harris said. “It went to a
Delaware veteran but she ended up moving out of the state. We found out we could probably do it a little bit faster than what [Rebuilding Warriors] did but we wanted to concentrate strictly on Delaware veterans. “A lot of us have our families to support us but there’s a lot of veterans sufferings that don’t have anyone,” he continued. “We talked to Nelson, out trainer, who’s also trained dogs for Rebuilding Warriors,
and we just felt it was something we could do locally, and we might be able to get the dogs to the veteran quicker. At least once a year we plan on presenting a dog to a Delaware veteran.” Sargeant Bob will be the third dog trained by the CASH program to be given to a veteran. His trainer estimates he’ll be ready to graduate in the early spring. The pup received his name in memSee SARGEANT Page 30

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Enjoy music, food, shopping and other activities during the 29th annual Chesapeake Celtic Festival, this weekend at Furnace Town in Snow Hill. The Celtic Festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. A Celtic Chapel service will take place Sunday at 10:30 a.m. The festival will begin with an opening ceremony parade at noon with the Flags of the Seven Celtic Nations carried by members of the Snow Hill High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC under the direction of Master Sgt. Bill Meekins. The Seven Celtic Nations are those countries where the Celtic heritage has been in unbroken existence for more than 2,000 years. These nations are As-
turias and Galicia, the Celtic provinces of Spain, Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales. “The festival was held for its first three years in Princess Anne [in Somerset County], sponsored by the chamber of commerce,” Celtic Festival Organizer Jeanne du Nord said. “[I] created it to have an event in town and to call attention to the early settlers and their heritage. “Kathy Fisher, then director of Furnace Town Living Heritage Village, invited us to bring the festival there and that has turned out to be the perfect site,” she continued. “When the village is decorated for the festival, it looks like Brigadoon emerging from the forest mists.” An original musical show based on “Marshall Muskrat and the Chesapeake Pirates” by du Nord, a Lifetime Achievement Award winning author who’s published more than 11 books, will take place both days at 1 p.m. The hour-long show opens with an overture, has six songs and a happy ending.

‘Sargeant Bob’ to go to vet suffering from PTSD or TBI Continued from Page 29 ory of a volunteer firefighter and 911 dispatcher who recently passed away. “It’s a lost niche in the service dog world,” Harris said. “You always hear about seeing eye dogs and dogs for the hearing impaired, but the PTSD and TBI, which are the hidden injuries of war, these young people are coming back with from the desert. It’s something that hasn’t been touched in a lot of places.” The Delmarva Hand Dance Club invited the president of Chapter 850, Miller and Sargeant Bob to the dance floor to receive the check raised by the members of the club. “We’re a social organization with a charitable objective,” Vice President Barbara McArdle said. “Everybody who comes in here makes a $5 donation. When we get enough money, we donate to various veterans’ charities. This particular donation is near and dear to our heart. This is our big deal of the year in terms of veterans’ charities.” For more information about the CASH program, call 302-678-0850. The Delmarva Hand Dance Club is a nonprofit corporation established to preserve and promote a type of dance from the 50s and 60s called hand dancing while raising funds for donations to charitable organizations in the Delmarva region. Vietnam Veterans of America was founded in 1978 and is the only congressionally chartered national organization dedicated exclusively to serving Vietnam-era veterans and their families.

Plenty of activities planned at Celtic Festival this wknd. Continued from Page 30 “I just came back from Disney World and it seems all people want are feelgood fantasies,” du Nord said. “‘Marshall Muskrat and the Chesapeake Pirates’ is just that. “Marshall Muskrat is the humblest of all creatures. In the words of the villainous who throws slop at him, ‘Your kind doesn’t even taste good in stew,’” she continued. “Marshall remains true to his positive nature, thwarts the pirates who are about to raid his town, becomes a hero and finds true muskrat love.” Music for the play will be provided by Susie and Ted Tomalewski of “Pickin’ and Grinnin’” a country folk band. Other musical acts include Iona and Moch Pryderi, two Celtic-styled bands using instruments such as pipes, flutes, harps and bagpipes. “It is an easy place to make friends, learn about history and tradition, enjoy a positive atmosphere,” du Nord said. “When those bagpipes are playing, all toes are tapping and all hearts are happy. “Fred Wallace, Master of the Wolfhounds, said it best, ‘I get so excited when the Celtic Festival is coming…I realize that I look forward to the festival even more than I look forward to Christmas Day,’” she continued. Activities for all ages will take place during the festival throughout the afternoon each day. Sandy, Fred and Connor Wallace will present their four wolfhounds to amaze and enchant dog lovers both days. Canines and their owners can also make new friends during the Salisbury Kennel Club Celtic Breed Dogs exhibition. Vendors will set up their crafts and demonstrations both days. There will also be storytellers and a bee-keeping demonstration as well as reenactment groups all afternoon each day. Athletic abilities will be tested as well throughout the weekend. The Medieval European Martial Arts Guild will perform near Braemar Field, where the Highland Heptathlon, Novice Event and Junior Caber Toss will wow spectators. Ocean Pines residents Angel and Robert Tipton will re-new their wedding

Donate hair, support Believe in Tomorrow at Lock-toberfest
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) What happens when hair donations, carnival games and fundraising are brought together? The answer is the second annual Lock-toberfest event, hosted by Hair We R in the Montego Bay Shopping Center on 130th Street, this Saturday from 12-4 p.m. Hair We R salon owner Joey Biafore joined with Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program, to turn her Lock-toberfest event into something bigger and more locally involved. “We met a couple years ago, and I told Wayne that if I ever was to own a salon, if I called the shots, I would reach out to him,” Biafore said. “That was five years ago. I reached out to him last year while doing Lock-toberfest for the first year and he gave me pointers and advice.” Biafore will be offering free hair cuts to hair donors throughout the event. Donated hair must be a minimum of eight inches and cannot be bleached. Colored hair is otherwise accepted. Last year, Biafore collected 14 feet of hair, two of which were her own.
She also raised $4,000. The hair was donated to Children with Hair Loss, a nonprofit organization which provides high quality wigs for children with medically-related hair loss. “I want to exceed that $4,000 goal this year. That’s my goal,” Biafore said. New this year, carnival rides for children organized by Phi Mu sorority sisters from Salisbury University will be offered for a small fee. “We thought it would be something fun for kids and it always comes back to raising money,” Littleton said. “Besides, the great thing Joey’s doing donating the hair to another great organization, she is doing a great thing by supporting the Children’s House and we’re having lots of carnival games out here for kids.” Music will be provided by Charlie Zeller. In addition to the carnival games, a bake sale, raffle items, an auction and even a hermit crab race will take place during the charity event. “That I want to see myself. I’ve never seen [a hermit crab race] before,” Littleton said. “We’re hoping this becomes a yearly thing. We’re hoping to have fun with the carnival

games because I find that if you do a good job no matter how small it is, everything had potential to always grow and that’s how I look at all our events. I’m looking at Saturday and whatever we do we want to be perfect because then people will come.” Biafore hopes that this event will lead into something much bigger in the near future. “My goal is to be able to have wigs made locally, here,” Biafore said. “We See CHILDREN Page 35

Walker provides special French onion soup recipe
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The slightest shift in the seasons entices my palate toward a degree of difference. It is this distinction that makes for a more memorable occasion and keeps guests coming back for more. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Hot, humid days dissipate before my eyes and cool, gentle breezes wet my appetite for change. Apples, butternut squash and gorgeous roasts bring a sense of comfort as the cooler weather makes its way to the Eastern Shore. Fall is also a prelude to the holiday season. Some might think I am a bit obsessive but early preparation equates great success. Classic recipes that are prepared with the utmost consideration are good to have in one’s repertoire of offerings. French onion soup is a perfect example. Who would not love the rich gooey texture of gruyere cheese nestled on a bread crouton that floats in See WALKER Page 36

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker prefers Gruyere cheese Continued from Page 35 bowl of splendid caramelized onions and rich beef broth that has been fortified with veal and chicken stock. French onion soup is simple to make as long as you understand the philosophy behind the appetizer. The three main components of the soup are onions, broth and cheese. Much attention to detail is necessary for exceptional results; we will discuss in details the steps for delicious French onion soup. First and foremost, the onions must be caramelized for optimum taste. When a recipe calls for sautéed or caramelized onions; it is typically looking for onions to be sliced pole to pole (vertically) unless it specifies a different cut. Onions cut in this particular fashion break down more evenly while cooking which produces a better texture and taste. For those who are not familiar with slicing onions pole to pole, allow me to explain. Imagine an onion as a globe with the stem at the north pole and the root at the south. Slice the onions vertically, starting at one side of the onion and working your way to the other side. Roasted garlic is also added to the onion mixture. Roasting the garlic gives the broth a unique essence. This is just another layer of flavor that
NO PREP SHOOTOUT
adds to the overall experience. Stock is the next subject for thought. A combination of beef, veal and chicken broth ensures a rich foundation and delightful piquancy. Simmering the broth for an extended period of time with the caramelized onions is a must. A touch of sherry cuts the richness of the onions and adds depth to the soup. The soft cheese with crispy edges is the final phase and piece de resistance. Gruyere is the only cheese to use; Swiss and mozzarella can be substituted but the results will not be the same. The following recipe takes a little longer than your typical French onion soup, but it is worth the extra effort. Special occasions deserve a special meal and this recipe is one of them. Enjoy! French Onion Soup Soup 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 5 large yellow onions, halved and cut pole to pole into ¼-inch-thick slices 1 large red onion, halved and cut pole to pole into ¼-inch-thick slices 3 large shallots, sliced into ¼-inchthick slices

rates, onions are brown, and garlic is broken down. Reduce heat to medium if onions are browning too quickly. Continue to cook until the pot bottom is brown but not burnt. 4. Stir in sherry and cook until sherry evaporates, constantly stirring and scraping up the coveted bits of flavor. 5. Stir in broths, 2 cups water, thyme, Herbs de Province, bay leaf and salt to taste. Scrape up any final bits that may have formed in the bottom of the pan. Adjust seasoning and discard bay leaf. Increase heat to high and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. 6. For the crouton: While the soup simmers, bake baguettes slices in 400-degree oven until bread is dry, crisp and golden brown around the edges. Set aside. 7. For the presentation: Adjust oven rack to broiler settings. Set individual broiler-safe crocks on baking sheet and fill each with 1 ¾ cups soup. Top each bowl with 1 or 2 baguette slices (do not overlap) and sprinkle evenly with Gruyere cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges. Allow to rest 3 minutes before serving.

Foultz’s ‘Two Steps Forward’ memoir gets film adaptation
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) Local icon Anna Foultz is about to be in pictures. A Texas-based media company has acquired the film rights to Foultz’ memoir “Two Steps Forward” and hopes to begin production next year ahead of an international release near the end of 2019. According to an official description of the 2017 memoir, “Spanning over a century, Anna’s book, ‘Two Steps Forward, A Memoir,’ recounts the inspiring story of this vivacious, loved and lauded spicy bombshell. Travel from 19th century Naples, Italy to 21st century America, where the daughter of an Italian immigrant peasant is honored by the Order of the Sons of Italy for her extraordinary contributions.” Sonny Chohan, owner and founder of the Houston Live TV Network and Houston Live Productions, said he met Foultz and her daughter at a gathering in Meadows, Texas and was impressed by their story. Foultz was in town for a book signing and her daughter, Shirley Isbell, authored the book and lives in the area. “In the audience was a director who does TV and pictures and stuff like that. And he was standing up and he was looking at me and looking at me
while I’m talking. I was nervous, of course,” Foultz said. “So, when it was over, he came over to me and he said, ‘I’m so impressed with your story, I would love to Anna Foultz do a movie and put you on TV.’ I said, ‘Oh, OK,’ thinking he was only kidding.” The initial meeting led to half-hour interview on the TV network that’s available on YouTube as “Two Steps Forward - Memoir of Anna Lucarello Foultz on HLTV.” There was also an agreement to adapt the memoir into a feature film. “We get involved in short films and feature films, TV shows and documentaries, and the story was so appealing that I think in the midst of the conversation they both commented that … they would be happy to give us the movie rights as well. So, of course I jumped on it and said absolutely. It’s a great story to showcase,” Chohan said. Foultz recalls talking to Chohan about the film rights after the interview aired. She remained in a state of disbelief and said she’s yet to watch the interview, because she doesn’t See PROJECTED Page 40

And I said, ‘Of course!’ “I don’t believe it still, but my daughter is working with him,” she continued. “I said, ‘I don’t want to get involved. If it’s really true, you let me know.’” According to Chohan, the film version will mostly follow the narrative in the book. “We are going to be adding some additional spices on top of it,” he said. “It’s in a very preliminary stage right now, but I think the book is going to contribute the majority of that content. Each scene needs to be written and we need to insert some drama into it, but primarily it’s going to be based on her personal experiences.” The finished product will then make its debut on HoustonLiveTV.com and be available for streaming on multiple platforms. “We are not at the same grade level as Netflix or Hulu or Amazon, but we do work along the same technologies,” Chohan said. “We are focused more on the seven million people here in Houston, but our coverage is worldwide.
We integrate our services and our production, and broadcast through all the social media platforms, but also Roku and Amazon Fire Stick and Apple TV, and on Android and Apple smart phones. So, anybody worldwide will be able to access this content. “We’re going to start working on this a little bit more deeply in the first quarter of 2019,” Chohan said. We have an amazing team here in terms of production, so mostly likely I’m thinking we should be able to release it by the end of 2019.” Foultz continues to make appearances on behalf of the book and also works on with her nonprofit, Star Charities, and with the Girl Scouts of America. She is reportedly the oldest-living active member of the Girl Scouts. She said reception for the memoir has been positive and sales, especially in Texas, went up after the television interview aired. “A lot people bought my books here, and in fact the library called me one day and said they’ve gotten a lot of calls for my book,” Foultz said. “Every now and then I get a call for a book, but I would like to sell more. “So far, we’re doing good – better than I ever expected,” she continued. “But I’d like to do more and get rid of these books I have at home.” To purchase “Two Steps Forward,” visit www.twostepsforwardmemoir. com.

Littleton surprised Widlake donated all $10K winnings Continued from Page 40 the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program, said he was surprised when Widlake told him of his intentions. “It’s the first time in my 17 years that someone has donated the entire $10,000 back,” Littleton said. “People have made generous donations but that was really generous, and that’s great.” This is only the second time someone has returned the full $10,000 to the organization. The first occurred 19 years ago, two years before Littleton joined the organization. “I think the size of support of the community makes your heart feel warm,” Widlake said. “We all really need to be behind them to support them so more families can receive services.” The Beach Bash raised its highest profits in the event’s history, according to Littleton. Seacrets on 49th Street was packed with hundreds of guests samplings more than 20 different area restaurants’ food. While the actual number has not be determined yet, Littleton believes the foundation raised at least $45,000. “All three of our facilities are open every day of the year,” he said. “They’re [always] ready to go. If someone calls tonight they can come in tomorrow. We never close a business down. It takes a lot of money to run them. The fees are astronomical. I’m very blessed to live in such a generous community.” Widlake is glad he was able to assist the organization and looks forward to the Beach Bash next year. Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation provides hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. Since 1982, Believe in Tomorrow has provided over 900,000 individual overnight accommodations, from every state in the U.S. and more than 82 countries worldwide.

Henry featured artist at OC center (Oct. 5, 2018) Patrick Henry of Berlin is the featured artist during October with a one-man show at the Ocean City Center for the Arts. The public is invited to the free First Friday opening reception on Oct. 5 from 5-7 p.m. with live jazz performed by The New York Connection and complimentary beverages sponsored by PKS Investments. Henry’s exhibition, entitled “Patterns: of Man, of Nature, of Art,” features all-new paintings, many focusing on the very personal local scenes and flavors that identify his work. Henry is a son of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Born in 1952 to Samuel and Marigold Henry, he was one of seven children in the close, spiritual family. From early on, Henry enjoyed exploring the fields around his family’s home on Sinepuxent Road, outside
Ocean City. After studying art at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Henry began to depict the seashores, farmlands and laborers of this Maryland community. Today, he is one of the area’s most recognized painters, creating images that are a tribute to a way of life that may only exist on his canvasses. The Galleria will feature an all-media abstract group show by members of the Art League of Ocean City. Watercolorist Jill Kohut occupies Studio E in October. A signature member of the National Watercolor Society and lifetime achievement award recipient from the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, she is also an educator, teaching drawing, painting, photography and graphic design to students of all ages. Maureen Wheatley exhibits her work in the Spotlight Gallery in Octo-
ber. A nature artist, working in many media, Wheatley is a graduate of Catholic University and was formerly the gallery director for the Kent Island Federation of Art and also taught art in Stevensville. Jeweler Joan Danoff of Washington, D.C. is the artisan in residence for October. Her Starland by Hand jewelry line uses materials such as sterling silver and copper to create modern, organic art. Admission is always free to the Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street, home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship, programs and community art projects.

History Week activities planned

LITTLE BLING Leslie Solomon, from Bethany Beach, left, purchases a bracelet from Linda Wood and Dorothy Somerville, from Oceanview, Delaware, during the Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street Saturday, Sept. 22.
(Oct. 5, 2018) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum has been a staple in Ocean City since its dedication in 1978 – 40 years ago. This anniversary will be celebrated during OC History Week. Last month the Mayor and City Council proclaimed Oct. 13-20, as Ocean City History Week. An historic home tour will be featured on Saturday, Oct. 13 and a celebration, “Surfin’ the Seventies,” will take place on Saturday, Oct. 20. “We are so grateful to the city for acknowledging the importance of history and recognition of the museum’s efforts to tell the story of the men who served in the Life-Saving Service and the history of Ocean City,” said Museum Society President Nancy Howard. “The Museum has played an important role in preserving the history of Ocean City,” said Board Member Lee
Gerachis who owns Malibu’s Surf Shop. “The seventies were a very seminal time in Ocean City. The town was growing many new businesses were established, the condo boom was in full gear and the museum began its job of keeping track of all that history. A current museum exhibit tells the story of surfing in OC.” When proclaiming OC History Week, Mayor Rick Meehan stated how important the museum was in telling the story of Ocean City. He recognized the panels displayed in City Hall for their role in telling the government history of Ocean City and thanked the museum for its part in the display. “Surfin’ the Seventies” will be held Saturday, Oct. 20, from 1-3:30 p.m. at Fager’s Island on 60th Street; another business that got its start in the 1970s. Tickets cost $75; $70 for museum members. “We want this to be a seventies kind of laid back event,” said John Fager, board member and owner of Fager’s Island. “I’m certain there will be a lot of reminiscing.” DJ Batman will be providing the music. The Ocean City Spirit Award will be presented during the event. There also will be a 50/50. For more information on the party, home tour and Spirit Award visit the museum website at www.ocmuseum.org.

Free health fair in Ocean Pines this Saturday
(Oct. 5, 2018) Atlantic General Hospital and Peninsula Regional Medical Center are teaming up with the Ocean Pines Association to offer a free health fair for area residents and guests. The eighth annual Ocean Pines Community Health Fair, open to the public, is scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Ocean Pines Community Center 235 Ocean Parkway. “Ocean Pines, AGH and PRMC are passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles and are working to engage Ocean Pines residents and guests in conversations about common health concerns,” Ocean Pines Marketing and Public Relations Director Denise Sawyer said. “Healthcare can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing. Medical practitioners will provide important information, including tips on preventative measures.” Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) will be providing various health-related screenings, including glucose testing and cholesterol testing for total and HDL (a 12- hour fast is required), carotid, blood pressure and bone density screenings. Other information specialists will be
there from the Sleep Lab, Endoscopy Center, Wound Care Center, Diabetes Education, Nutrition, Women’s Diagnostic Services, and Regional Cancer Care Center. Chesapeake Hearing Centers, a partner of AGH, will be providing hearing screenings. Peninsula Regional Health System, with locations throughout Delmarva, will offer a full complement of screenings. Skin cancer screenings will be performed on Peninsula Regional’s Wagner Wellness Van outside of the community center. Inside, Peninsula Regional will offer blood pressure checks, stroke risk assessment, pulse oximetry, bone density, falls assessment and body mass index screening. Peninsula Regional will also have information on its comprehensive cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program, community support groups, Family Lab services, Lifeline medical emergency alert system, the Delmarva Health Pavilion Ocean Pines and the new Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute Ocean Pines. This year’s health fair will feature a door prize, a popular attraction for all who attend. Guests will register as they arrive and
enter the door prize drawing. Merchandise from AGH, PRMC and the Ocean Pines Association will be used as a door prize. The Ocean Pines Aquatics Department will be in attendance to showcase its exciting lineup of water aerobics classes that could be beneficial for patients in the recovery stage. Over the past few years, Ocean Pines Aquatics has steadily increased the number of aquatic fitness equipment, such as water trampolines, bikes, balance boards, an elliptical machine and a treadmill in addition to several different types of water weights.
Ocean Pines Aquatics staff members are also in the process of obtaining certification for medically based aquatics training, which will be introduced soon at the Sports Core Pool. The training will enable them to work with patients undergoing treatment for cancer, Parkinson’s disease and more as well as pre- and post-rehabilitative therapy. Resident Chef Maggie Haren will feature a variety of healthy recipes through interactive cooking demonstrations. This year AGH will be offering free flu shots for participants over the age of 13 from 8 a.m. to noon during the event.

OC Chamber of Commerce gives out annual awards
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) It was a night to remember as individuals were recognized during the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards ceremony on Sept. 26 at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st in Ocean City. The event included a cocktail hour, dinner and music. Prior to the award speeches, elected officials including Sen. Jim Mathias and Del. Mary Beth Carozza took the podium to highlight the importance of events such as this. “Tonight is always one of the most uplifting nights of the year, because we are celebrating our greatest asset: our people,” Carozza said. Awards were presented for 2018 in the following categories: Volunteer of the Year, Young Professional of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Business Person of the Year, and the Lifetime Achievement Award. • Volunteer of the Year: Jamie and Ali Jacobs, of OC Painting Experience by TC Studios: Volunteerism is crucial from the start for the Jacobs’, as they accepted their award, sponsored by Peninsula

Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. “Since Jamie and I first met, we had a shared passion for serving others and volunteering, and we always held serving as the center of our relationship,” Ali said. She added she felt a calling to assist the community in any way she could, as the Eastern Shore became her home. “As partners of this community, we all have an obligation to do our parts
and use our gifts to contribute to the greater good,” Ali said. Jamie stressed the importance of success through personal happiness, even if it is not by following the traditional path. “Society tells us to gain certain things in life like college degrees, mortgages and white picket fences,” Jamie said. “All of which are important, but in the end, without staying See FAGER Page 53
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Maryland Realtors recently released a report on 2018 Maryland legislation that took effect on Oct. 1 relating to the real estate industry. A sampling of the new laws is below. A more complete list can be viewed at www.mdrealtor.org. HB 305/SB 158 – Homestead Property Tax Credit Program — Eligibility Awareness Directs the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) to identify homeowners who may be eligible for the Homestead Property Tax Credit Program and provide them information about how to apply with each assessment notice. HB 923 – Environment – Water and Sewer Service Enables local governments and water authorities to create assistance programs (e.g. payment plans and donation plans) for individuals struggling to pay water and sewer bills. Authorizes the local government and the water utilities to disconnect service when a property is determined to be vacant or unfit for human habitation. HB 279 – Housing and Community Development – Homebuyer Education Requirements Provides additional flexibility for individuals who are required to take a homebuyer class as a requirement for financing. The bill permits loan recipients to take an online HUD-approved homebuyer education program for a loan associated with a HUD-approved product. The legislation would also allow a homebuyer education program certificate approved in one county to be used in another county. HB 575 – Condominiums – Suspension of Use of Common Elements Authorizes the council of unit owners to “suspend the use of parking or recreational facility common elements by a unit owner that is more than 60 days delinquent in paying assessments.” To be effective, a council of unit owners must add this authority to their bylaws by a 60 percent vote of the unit owners.

Fager named Citizen of the Year, Messick Business Person of the Yr. Continued from Page 52 true to our hearts, living out our passions and sharing those passions with others, all those things mean nothing.” • Young Professional of the Year: Joe Wilson, of Condominium Realty LTD: Wilson said he is grateful to be an Ocean City resident as he accepted his award, sponsored by the Harrison Group Resort Hotels and Restaurants. “Ocean City is a town that truly looks out for members of its village, and I can attest to that more than most people,” Wilson said. Wilson said his community was there for him when he was 22 years old. He added he “went through a rough time,” but with the assistance from others, he is now on a variety of boards within the chamber. “It’s the least I can do to give back to a community that’s done so much for me,” he said. • Non-Profit of the Year: United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore: Pam Gregory, the interim president/CEO of United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore took the podium to accept the award, sponsored by The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, LLC. Gregory, who has been with United Way for eight years, highlighted the 74 years of work by the organization serving the Eastern Shore. Gregory emphasized the strength of the organization during its management transition, stating its “not skipping a beat.” She then took a moment to thank members of her own staff during the speech. “This is not about any one individual, it’s so about the team,” she said. Gregory also congratulated her fellow honorees, and “look(s) forward to 74 more years doing the same thing.” • Citizen of the Year: Michelle Fager, of Fager’s Island: For Fager, accepting the 2018 Citizen of the Year award, sponsored by Atlantic General Hospital, was personal. Fager highlighted how the John H. “Jack” Burbage Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center in Berlin works to find methods, such as “telemedicine capabilities” to fight the disease. She added the illness could be stressful for all involved. “Cancer is an incredibly difficult disease.
Not just for the patient, but for the family,” Fager said. “I know because I lost the mother that raised me to breast cancer when I was just 15.” Fager said the center’s accessibility is a “blessing beyond compare for local families.” She shared her involvement with projects in the community, and said she was lucky to have the time and resources to put in the work. She also praised others working to make the area a better place. “When it comes right down to it, it’s not how big the project is that you work on, it’s the multiple effect of a small good deed,” Fager said. • Business Person of the Year: Kimmerly Messick - Furnish Inc. (former owner of Donaway Furniture): It was a real rags to riches story for Messick. “Most of you know me as the furniture queen … what most of you do not know is I grew up living in an attic, and I made up my mind I was never going to be poor,” she said. Messick, the former owner of Donaway Furniture, accepted the award sponsored by D3 Corp. Messick said she worked to support herself through college. After graduating, she made business relationships that would eventually help her open her own store. “My dad was my main supporter, and when I called him up and told him about my meeting that night, he showed up with a check for $10,000 and said ‘go for it,’” Messick said. Messick was able to increase the value of See LIFETIME Page 54

Continued from Page 53 her business with the help of developers. She was then afforded the opportunity to give back to the community. She also emphasized the need to form long lasting relationships in life. “Also, great women in my life, and great friends, which help you along the way,” Messick said. Messick sold her stores in July. She stressed the importance of quality role models and mentors, as well as the need in today’s Ocean City. “You have to bring young people up now to take the place of what we’re doing,” Messick said. “That’s our future. We need to encourage the young.” • Lifetime Achievement Award: Buddy Jenkins, Jolly Roger Amusement, Parks/Bay Shore Development Corporation: Jenkins’ journey to the podium was met with applause and a standing ovation. Jenkins said Ocean City is a unique place. “It still holds a pioneering instinct that’s been passed down generation after generation and transmitted to new business expansion,” Jenkins said. Throughout the many obstacles the area has endured, Jenkins said Ocean City has the ability to persevere and come out on the other side. He’s “thankful to be a part of this pioneering instinct.” Jenkins dedicated the Lifetime
Achievement Award, sponsored by Deeley Insurance Group, to his family, friends and employees. Jenkins shared successes from various business ventures involving education, food and livestock. He attributed his good fortune to a strong foundation from his parents and early life. “I do not view my achievements as any more than what I was expected to do,” Jenkins said. He also highlighted his work with those suffering from addictions, after losing his own daughter. He started the Jodie Jenkins Foundation, which aims to provide activities and programs to “keep that person that’s looking for help on an even recovery all the time.” Jenkins then tried his hand at revitalization through purchasing land in Ocean City and Berlin. “If people see you doing something, taking a risk, taking a chance, all of a sudden people start taking a risk, taking a chance,” he said. “The attitude doesn’t changed.” Jenkins stressed the need for tradition when embarking on renovation projects in the area and wanted to preserve the area to “make it better for the future of the young people coming here.” But all in all, Jenkins learned to hold onto one quality: his innocence. “One of the other things I’ve had good fortune to do … is never grow up,” he said.

OP top place to retire in Maryland (Oct. 5, 2018) Ocean Pines attracts the attention of Forbes magazine, a leading source for business news and financial information, and is named the top place to retire in Maryland for 2018. “This is fantastic news for our community,” John Bailey, general manager of the Ocean Pines Association, said. “Our residents can take great pride in this announcement. Ocean Pines is 50 years young this year and this news just continues to show that the community has withstood the sands of time – and the ocean – and is ready to lead the way into the next decade and beyond as one of the best places to retire on the Atlantic coast.” Financial experts with the publica-
tion compiled a list of the “Best Places to Retire in Each State” by comparing data on more than 650 places in all 50 states. According to Forbes, the experts looked for relatively affordable places (as measured by the median home price and cost of living) with a high quality of retirement living. Other key factors include doctor availability, crime rates, air quality, and walkability and “bikeability.” The magazine described Ocean Pines as a wooded waterfront community of 12,000 residents on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, eight miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean with an above-average ratio of physicians per capita, good air quality, and an extremely low serious crime rate.
Each state’s best and runner-up can be found at www.forbes.com/sites/ williampbarrett/2018/08/28/the-bestplaces-to-retire-in-eachstate/#3ce8dc8b75c1. “Who says you have to wait until your golden years to enjoy Ocean Pines?” Denise Sawyer, OPA marketing and public relations director, said. “Enjoy Ocean Pines now and experience our awardwinning residential and resort community. We have a large offering of year-round racquet sports, aquatics and recreational activities and a championship golf course. Not to mention, our waterfront yacht and beach clubs are must-see attractions.”

Memorial gathering in OC, Tuesday
(Oct. 5, 2018) Coastal Hospice will host a “Sea Shell Memorial Gathering” on the Ocean City Fishing Pier on Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 3-4 p.m. The purpose of the free, public gathering is to provide a personal moment to remember, reflect and offer gratitude to those who have died. “It is a chance to be surrounded by the love, understanding and support of others - even strangers who are experiencing many of the same feelings and emotions,” said Coastal Hospice Bereavement Services Manager Howard Travers. “We are strengthened as a community as we reach out to support others
and build understanding of our common human values and experiences.” Those who attend will write the names of loved ones or special personal messages on sea shells, and then return the shells to the sea. Guests may bring their own special shells, or Coastal Hospice will have shells available. At 3 p.m., a brief memorial service will be held with singing, inspirational readings, ideas on how to cope with grief over the upcoming holidays, and quiet reflection. Coastal Hospice staff members, including spiritual and bereavement counselors, will be present to offer comfort

Historical society dinner, Oct. 21 (Oct. 5, 2018) The Worcester County Historical Society is planning its annual fall dinner for Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m. at the Dunes Manor Hotel on 28th Street in Ocean City. This year’s speaker will be Gordon E. Katz, an award winning author, who will speak on “The Story of the George Washington Hotel in Ocean City. The Facts and the Rumors.” The talk will be accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation outlining some of the hotel’s history. Several years ago Katz published a
book telling about the early history of Ocean City from 1875 to 1890. This book received two prestigious awards: an Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History and the Tee O’Connor Professional Award from the Lower Eastern Shore Heritage Council. He is presently working on a sequel to that publication, which continues the story of both Ocean City and the surrounding areas of Eastern Worcester County from 1890 through the storm of 1933 that created the inlet.
The menu for the Historical Society’s dinner will include Maryland crab soup, French style chicken, scalloped potatoes, autumn vegetable medley and dessert. Coffee and tea are included. Tickets cost $25 per person and can be purchased by sending a check to: Robert Fisher, WCHS Treasurer, 230 South Washington St., Snow Hill, Maryland 21863. Make reservations by Friday, Oct. 12. The dinner is open to the public. For more information, call 410-6321265.

Commentary
Ocean City’s image as motor-mad venue
As Ocean City government, urged on by many of its residents, contemplates how to increase its control over vehicular shenanigans, the two greatest obstacles blocking the path to its goal are its image and the constitution. Over the past several years, a common question among the resort’s citizenry is why government simply can’t bar some groups from coming to town. Why, people ask, does Ocean City allow them to enter? The answer is this is a free country and people can go wherever they want. No level of government can prevent that, except in circumstances of extreme danger, specific kinds of law enforcement activity and matters of security. Government doesn’t have the authority to decide who can use a taxpayer-funded street and who can’t. The image problem is more troublesome. Over the years, the resort has shown an affinity for large vehicular events, which has suggested to fans and others occupying the outer perimeters of the culture that Ocean City turns itself into a wide-open motor city, with an appreciative audience, on certain occasions. This weekend’s Endless Summer Cruisin’ vintage car rally is one example of how a well-run legitimate enterprise can suffer, along with the rest of the resort, from the law of unintended consequences. The Cruisin’ crowd is a well-behaved bunch that prefers to display its street rods and customizations in parking lots instead of showing what they can do on the road. Unfortunately, the presence of these cars and trucks, over time, began to draw a car and truck owner element whose vehicles don’t qualify for inclusion in the show, but who think it stands as an invitation to attract some attention to themselves as well. Short of ending all vehicle events, and incurring the wrath of many local business operators, the city’s only recourse is to make everyone feel unwelcome through increasingly strict law enforcement efforts until the bad actors move on and the resort’s car- and bike-crazy image fades away. That’s going to take time, possibly years, but it’s Ocean City government’s only option.

Two days, and flu-free
Just the other day, for the first time in 40 or 50 years, I got both a flu shot and a pneumonia shot, and I am here to tell you that they are quick-acting. Two days have passed and I haven’t caught either ailment, so they must be working. I think that’s remarkable, considering that most treatments, medications and cures take much longer to be effective. Many of the most highly By recommended hangover Stewart cures, for instance, aren’t that quickly. Dobson thatIt’seffective been more like, “Drink pickle juice with a raw egg, put a boiled carrot in your ear, say ‘never again’ five times while facing the sun, and I guarantee you’ll feel better in a day or two.” Personally, I tend to doubt the boiled carrot business and think it might be a joke, but I’m hardly qualified to question the medical wisdom of others, especially when even stranger hangover cures abound. Interestingly, or maybe not, one Puerto Rican belief is that you can avoid hangovers altogether by rubbing a lime under your drinking arm before you go out. It’s true — you can look it up. I have no idea what the effect of this might be other than to remind you the next morning that you are twice as stupid as you thought you were. That would be once for believing it would work, and then twice for going to the extreme to put it to the test.
I suppose, however, it could come in handy if the bartender runs out of a certain ingredient for your mojito. “Oh, wait, give me the glass and I’ll …” But that would be completely wrong, although it might cause a seat to open up for you at an otherwise packed bar. In the meantime, going into my third day of flu-free excellent health, I should remind others who wish to inoculate themselves against one or both of these viral scourges that you might consider wearing a muscle shirt or some other sleeveless apparel if you plan to get your shots in a public place. I got my shots at a local pharmacy, where the process obligates you to get needled at the counter. That was fine with me, as I rolled up my sleeve as high as it would go, which was not quite far enough to expose the target area. “I need your shoulder,” the pharmacist said. “Otherwise, it’s going to hurt.” I pushed, and rolled, and yanked my sleeve ever upward until I realized there was no way to hike it up enough without dropping my shirt, which I did. Bear in mind that I’m a person of some years, so when you remove your shirt and thrust out your shoulder, what you don’t want to hear is … “Hahahahahahaha!” which was what she said, give or take a “Ha!” here and there, before she jabbed me. “I’m not that funny-looking,” I protested. “Oh, it’s not that,” she replied, suppressing a chuckle. “It’s just that I realized where you’re going from here.” “And how would that be?” “I can smell the lime.”

Letters to the editor Eighth fundraiser comes as hospice nears opening
Editor, The eighth annual Blues on the Bay to benefit the Macky and Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean was especially meaningful, as it was held just months before the house opens to patients in early 2019. This event also marked the launch of our “Put Your Name On It” campaign. The campaign provides new opportunities for individuals to donate any amount to be a part of the naming of two patient rooms and a workroom of the hospice residence. The Stansell House will serve our most vulnerable hospice patients. They will receive quality care with the comforts of home and picturesque views of the Ocean City skyline and the Isle of Wight Bay. Events such as Blues on the Bay have been integral in the effort to raise funds and awareness about this critical new hospice facility for the Lower Shore. A total of 200 people came to the event at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on Sept. 19 to support the Stansell House. We shared a first in a series of videos about the house and launched the “Put Your Name On It” campaign, which extends room-naming opportunities to the community and unveils new images of the project, a new web page – StansellHouse.org – and featured profiles of supporters. This year’s event raised more than $29,000 for the capital campaign. With the help of dedicated committee and board members, Coastal Hospice has raised $6.2 million, or approximately 75 percent of the amount needed to finish the project. A total of 2,100 individuals have donated to the campaign. The next phase of the campaign invites the public to contribute to the rooms of the Stansell House to leave a legacy for future generations to be served by this state-of-the-art hospice residence and community outreach center in Ocean Pines. Donations may be made toward the volunteer workroom, or one of two community-funded patient rooms – the Veterans Memorial Room and the Family Tribute Room. This vital new facility will be home for terminally ill patients, as well as a base for palliative care, counseling, grief support and community wellness programs. We would like to thank all who supported the house by attending Blues on the Bay. We are also ever grateful for Macky and Pam Stansell who open the doors of their restaurant every year as hosts of this annual event. The Stansells continue to show
their commitment to Coastal Hospice and the vision of the new hospice home, now named after them to honor their generosity. Alane K. Capen President, Coastal Hospice
Families leave early because of car event
This letter was sent to Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan and Ocean City Today Editor, Ocean City has spent years getting its reputation back to a “family friendly” resort with the removal of profanity and sexually explicit merchandise on the Boardwalk and the recent nonsmoking policy on the beach. Good for all of those who made it happen. Now, let’s focus on the nonsanctioned H2O event. While the large police presence helps, along with the 30mph speed zones and no chairs on sidewalks, here are three more suggestions for next year. Ocean City either has a noise ordinance or it doesn’t. Loud revving of motors and backfires at 11 p.m., 2 a.m. or 6 a.m. scaring sleeping children have no place in a town that bills itself as a “family friendly resort.” Filling side streets and parking lots with hundreds of cars and youngsters that have no permits to assemble there block the movements of residents who live there or are trying to shop, or renters trying to get to their units, and these crowds could be and should be dispersed. And, finally, let’s talk freedom of speech. Law enforcement needs to pull over every vehicle that uses masking tape and painters’ tape to describe in the most vulgar terms female body parts and what the driver is apparently looking to do to these parts. Didn’t we already take care of these profane announcements on the Boardwalk? The officers can have the drivers remove the tape and send them on their way. The people who take the time to tape this trash on their vehicles have little regard for our resort’s reputation, our visiting families or the residents with children who live here. I know there are rules that separate our freedom of speech from the right to put profanity right out in public where children can be exposed to it. I will leave that to the lawyers, but we did remove this garbage from our Boardwalk. Now, let’s remove it from our streets. Do these people come here to enjoy our beautiful resort or to spit in Continued on Page 68

Investigation underway after pony killed on Assateague Is. (Oct. 5, 2018) On Oct. 2, at approximately 7:30 p.m., an 18-yearold solid bay stallion, N9BFNY (Sir Gruff) was struck and killed by a car. It is not known if speed was a factor. A full investigation of this accident is underway. N9BFNY and his band, N10T (Ninka) and N10T-JO (Assateague Phoenix) normal range is in the vicinity of Tingles Island and Pine Tree backcountry sites but they have spent the summer in the developed area. The Nation Parks Services is com-
mitted to protecting the Assateague horses, now and forever. They are a treasured part of the Assateague experience. N9BFNY is the 19th horse to be killed on the Maryland Route 611 causeway since 1982, another six horses have been injured. NSP joins the public in concern for the loss of horses on the causeway, and hopes to continue to work with the Maryland Department of Transportation to make Route 611 safer for visitors and wild horses.

Live Well Academy presents health lectures
(Oct. 5, 2018) The Ocean Pines Association and Peninsula Regional Medical Center introduce the premiere of the Live Well Academy, a free year-long lecture series on a wide range of healthcare topics. The lectures will be held on the first Wednesday of every month (except for the January lecture, which will be held on the second Wednesday) from 3-4 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Community Center, located at 235 Ocean Parkway. “At Peninsula Regional Medical Center, we believe health literacy is ex-
tremely important, and so we’re excited to get into our communities and educate our patients about health and wellness,” said Dr. Kathryn Fiddler, MS, RN, NEBC, vice president of Population Health at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. “By partnering with the Ocean Pines Association for this year-long lecture series, we are giving residents a unique opportunity to discuss their health concerns with some of the region’s most experienced healthcare providers,” she added. Peninsula Regional Medical Center, located in Salisbury, provides commu-
nity health services through a network of family medicine and specialty care offices including the Delmarva Health Pavilion Ocean Pines, home to the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute, a 20,000-square-foot facility located outside the north gate. The Live Well Academy represents an ongoing commitment from Peninsula Regional Medical Center, the Diamond Sponsor of the 50th anniversary of Ocean Pines, and will feature the following free lectures: Nov. 7 – PRMC Home Scripts

Special Event Zone laws could get tougher Continued from Page 1 land State Police, Natural Resources Police and other agencies stood ‘roundthe-clock watch for four days and issued 1,280 traffic citations as compared to the previous high of 858 last year, according to preliminary data supplied by the OCPD. Total arrests were up by one over last year, with 79 people taken into custody last weekend. Although that just nudged past the 2017 numbers, arrests last year reflected the beginning of the tougher stance by law enforcement and were more than 40 percent higher than they were year before. The number of accidents, however, fell from 28 last year to 16 this year, even though two of them, as seen in videos on social media, were on the extreme side. One showed an out-of-control Mus-
tang going airborne after hitting the Coastal Highway median and landing upside down on the other side of the road. The other near-disaster involved a driver who lost control of his car when he attempted to spin out while making a U-turn and plowed up onto the sidewalk next to a bus stop. On the upside of the stricter enforcement effort, car-related alcohol citations dropped to zero, no serious criminal incidents occurred, and calls for service — initiated by the police themselves and citizen complaints — declined from 2,735 in 2017 to 2,140. But despite what might be viewed as a successful operation statistically, Police Chief Ross Buzzuro, sees it differently. “Despite the event moving to another location, we continued to see disorderly and disruptive behavior similar
to previous years,” he said. “Moving forward, we will take a close look at the weekend and evaluate what changes need to be made to help us in the future, including future attempts to bolster the Special Event Zone legislation even more.” He will issue a final report on the multi-agency exercise when the Ocean City Police Commission convenes next Wednesday. In the meantime, Ocean Pines resident Jay Shoup, the organizer of the real H2O International event, said the 20th edition of his car congregation saw no wild antics in the two days it spent at its new location. “Atlantic City loved us, the Atlantic City Police Department loved us, and the Showboat hotel loved us,” Shoup said. The Boardwalk hotel especially so, he said, since his participants took all

its 900 rooms for the two-day stay. Acknowledging that attendance at his rally was down slightly from last year, when local criticism of the entire tuner car armada reached outrage level, Shoup said the move was worth it in one major respect: “We got rid of the riff-raff.” Having his group lumped in with the “riff-raff” continues to aggravate Shoup, who has protested for years that the show-offs and scofflaws who appeared concurrently with his event never were a part of it. Even though last weekend’s vehicular madness was labeled an “unsanctioned H2Oi” event, the real H2O is restricted to water-cooled Audis and Volkswagens (the Beetle was aircooled, and the first water-cooled VW didn’t appear until 1970).

Mitrecic urges MDOT to prioritize Route 90
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The Maryland Department of Transportation discussed numerous improvements on its agenda for Worcester County during its annual presentation to the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday, but one road was left off the list: Route 90. “Reading through all this paperwork, I don’t see the Route 90 dualization anywhere,” Commissioner Joseph Mitrecic told Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn Rahn replied the midtown connection to Route 50 and Route 113, one of three points of exit and access for Ocean City, was left out because of the absence of funding. He said the $75 billion worth of improvement projects that could be done in the

state do not align with the six-year $16 billion allocation his department has received. “There is far more that we would very much like to do, but can’t, and quite honestly, there’s more that we can’t do than we can,” Rahn said. Mitrecic added this is not the first time the county commissioners have urged the state to widen this stretch of road. “I really don’t think that you can look at [Route] 589 without thinking about dualizing [Route] 90, Mitrecic said. He added that if the Route 50 bridge needs to close for an extended period of time, the consequences could be catastrophic. “Route 90 is woefully unprepared to carry the total load of the traffic coming in and out of Ocean City,” Metrecic said. “God forbid there’s an emergency, then it even becomes that much more dire.” Mitrecic said he also feels the Route 90 project should supersede the work being done on the Route 50 bridge.
k c i w Fen in Rt. 54
“I encourage you to consider Route 90,” said Ocean City Council Member Wayne Hartman, in a show of support, and also echoed potential safety concerns. Rahn stressed that time and money are the obstacles to an undertaking of the scope of a Route 90 expansion. “We understand it’s an important project. We will try to work on innovative ways … but we really are running into problems with cost, and we also know the longer we wait the more it’s going to cost,” Rahn said. But for Mitrecic, this potential project is personal. “I tell you as a resident of Ocean City, I can tell you it’s not going to work the way you have it now,” Mitrecic said. “We understand clearly that [Route] 90 is important to the county,” Rahn replied. “It will remain on the radar. But … I don’t want to mislead anybody. It’s a lot of money.” MDOT does have other projects taking place in the county, including adding a second left-turn lane from U.S. 50 eastbound to Route 589

Mostly JDM cars fill Coastal Hwy. Continued from Page 68 Most of the cars on Coastal Highway last weekend were modified “JDM” cars — Japanese Domestic Market — Toyotas, Mitsubishis, Subarus, and Nissans — popularized in movies such as “Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.” (The “drift” is when a driver takes a turn at high rpms and oversteers to control the car while the wheels spin. Sometimes it works; sometimes the car flies over the median and lands upside down in the highway). From a commercial standpoint, the modified car fans had little economic impact, according to Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant-Association. She said some of the less expensive eateries might have seen a boost in business, while the effect on the lodging industry was insignificant. Her take on the crowd was that many of its members preferred Airbnb-type rentals. Based on demoflush reports, the size of the four-day crowd was down from previous years, and much lower than what it was in 2016. Even though demoflush is not considered a highly accurate population indicator, the percentages of change between recent years is relatively valid. The biggest decline showed last weekend’s resort population was 33 percent smaller than it was in 2016, and 20 percent less than 2015. Crowd size was down not quite 6 percent from last year, and about 1 percent off from 2014.

Module enables cars to backfire Continued from Page 1 an after-market module that ties into a car’s computer, according to Perry. Perry said this technique is common for cars designed to race. While Coastal Highway is a long, straight road, it’s not what one would call race-ready. Perry said the modification, which requires no great expense, allows the driver to “hold the gas all the way without blowing the engine.” In other words, the module allows the operator keep his or her foot on the gas by setting separate engine rpm limits. When the top limit is reached, rather than the driver needing to release the gas pedal to reduce the rpms, the module cuts the spark to the combustion chambers. The fuel, meanwhile, still flows into the chamber, but exits unburnt through the car exhaust system, where it explodes. Drag racing vehicles use the technique get a quicker launch and faster acceleration off the starting line. But why would someone modify a vehicle in such a way when no racing is involved? “Just to make noise,” Perry said.

WC approves DNA collection
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a motion to allow the Worcester County Jail to retrieve DNA samples from some of its inmates. Warden Donna J. Bounds submitted a memorandum detailing the jail’s request to “collect and submit DNA samples for specified offenders.” The Maryland State Police’s Forensic Science Division asked for the jail’s help in this effort, according to the memorandum. The purpose of the initiative is “identifying individuals,” and the state police will provide the jail with collection kits. “In order to populate the database with samples of known individuals, Maryland law requires the collection of DNA samples from individuals
charged with certain crimes, as well as those convicted with certain crimes,” Bounds said in the memorandum. The participants submitting to the collection of DNA would do so at the jail following the charge or conviction of a crime, according to the memorandum. Jail personnel would be trained annually using a video that teaches DNA collection through the Forensic Science Division. Following certification, “a collector is deemed designated.” Commissioner Chip Bertino asked to clarify the protection of rights, and Bounds said the DNA collection would be used for court-ordered and criminal cases. Bertino made an initial motion, which was then seconded by Commissioner Merill L. Lockfaw Jr.

WORLD WAR II
Army crosses Poland, Czech. border ahead of Germans
By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) This week, 80 years ago units of the Polish Army crossed the Olsa River, which served as the border between Poland and CzechoSlovakia, and grabbed a piece of its neighbor. The Poles were in such a hurry that they grabbed their piece even before the Germans got theirs. The crisis of 1938 not only deprived Czecho-Slovakia of about one third of its territory and population, but it also changed the course of its foreign and domestic policy. Czechoslovakia would have celebrated, on Oct. 8, 1938, the 20th anniversary of its foundation by Tomáš G. Masaryk, in a
spirit of democracy and liberalism, which in its foreign policy turned toward the Western democracies. At the beginning of the year, Czechoslovakia was still the most liberal and the best-governed country east of the Rhine. At the end of the year, the first Czechoslovakia Republic had ceased to exist. The new Czecho-Slovakia, or the Second Republic, as it was commonly called, had little in common with the first Republic. The spirit of Masaryk, and of his successor and disciple Edvard Beneš, had been banished and their followers silenced. In its foreign and economic policy Czecho-Slovakia had become entirely dependent upon Germany, and in its internal policy it was turning more and more to the adoption of Fascist principles. The German, Hungarian and Polish minorities of the First Republic seceded from Czechoslovakia in the fall of 1938, and the remaining parts of the country were transformed into a federal state of Czechs, Slovaks, and Ruthenians. Where the progressive and liberal Czechs had exercised the leadership in the republic, it now passed to the reactionary and more backward Slovaks. In 1920, Teschen (Tìšín in Polish) was the principal point of contention between the newly formed Poland and Czechoslovakia. The commission set up by the Treaty of Versailles divided the enclave in half along the Olsa River, giving the western half to Czechoslovakia and the eastern half to Poland. The history of Tìšín goes back to the 9th century. This city became the seat of the Duchy of Teschen, which was created in 1282, as the former Polish principality of Silesia fell apart. Sometime in the early 14th century, the Dukes of Teschen swore their allegiance to the Kings of Bohemia, along with the rest of Silesia. In 1653, Silesia became part of the Austrian Empire. On Sept. 20, 1938, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Count Béla Imrédy de Ómoravicza, and the Polish Ambassador to Berlin, Jósef Lipski, visited Chancellor Hitler in Berchtesgaden to press the claims of the Hungarian and Polish minorities. Taking advantage of the turmoil, on Sept. 27, 1938, the Polish Government demanded of Czechoslovakia the immediate cession of part of the districts of Tìšín and Freistack, and their occupation by Polish troops. When the Czecho-Slovakian Government did not give up unconditionally, the Polish Government responded with an ultimatum just before midnight on Sept. 30, requiring that the Czecho-Slovakian government agree See WWII Page 78

PATRICIA ELIZABETH POOLE Selbyville Patricia Elizabeth Poole, age 76, of Selbyville, died Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018 at home. She was born in Washington, D.C. and was the daughter of the late Ulysses Grant and Mabel (Edwards) Moore.
She is survived by her husband, James M. Poole of Selbyville; two sons, James Michael Poole of Bishopville and Kevin M. Poole and wife, Bethany, of Patricia Poole Berlin; a brother, Edward G. Moore of Huntington, Maryland; and four grandchildren, Conner Poole, Christopher Poole, Devin Poole and Chase Poole. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent by visiting www.bishophastingsfh.com.
On Oct. 2, Polish forces occupied the Tìšín area, and Czechoslovakia lost about 400 square miles of her territory with some 250,000 inhabitants (less than 100,000 of whom were Poles) and which contained very important mineral resources, steel works and rail lines. The Polish occupation, lasted only 10 months before the Germans invaded Poland in September 1939, after which the area was incorporated into the Reich. After World War II, the boundary that was set in 1920 was re-
stored. The occupation of Teschen by Polish forces illustrated the situation in Europe in 1938 in the most vivid way. Germany was not the only nation that had territorial claims over its neighbors. Hungary also had ambitious plans for seizing parts of the Slovak Republic, and Rumania had its eyes set on Transylvania, then under Hungarian control. Next week: Occupation of Sudetenland

WP boys’ soccer team shuts out Holly Grove, 8-0
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team worked on a few things during Tuesday’s practice before Wednesday’s competition against the Holly Grove Eagles in Berlin, and that training paid off. “One of the things I wanted to work on, was I wanted to get the ball out wide and get our crossing game better,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “We worked on that all [Tuesday] – getting the ball wide, getting in behind and getting our low crosses in, and finishing the low crosses. It was over and over again, and low and behold, the first three out of four goals [on Wednesday] were off low crosses. “I would say almost five out of eight were from that,” he continued. “[It was] just something we were honing in on, and trying to spread people out and accentuate our wide play … as well.” Senior Dakin Moore scored off a junior Ryan Cronin cross about five minutes into the game. Senior Aiden Mullins made it 2-0 about four minutes later. With a little over four minutes remaining in the first half, Cronin netted a shot. He assisted sophomore captain

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team Coach Jamie Greenwood earned his 100th career victory last Thursday when the Seahawks topped the Crisfield Crabbers, 3-1, in Berlin. “It’s a great milestone,” Greenwood said. “I’m greatly appreciative of all the players that have contributed to the wins over the course of my 12 years at the helm of the varsity program. The boys are the ones who have gotten me here.” Greenwood has been with the soccer program for 24 seasons. This is his 12th as head varsity coach. Senior Brooks Wingert scored for Decatur about seven minutes into the game. Three minutes before halftime, Crisfield tied it 1-1, capitalizing on a penalty shot. Senior Brady Ford pro-
vided the Seahawks with a 2-1 lead with 2:38 left on the clock. Junior captain John Karacoulakis gave Decatur a two-goal cushion about two minutes into the second half. “They played well against a scrappy Crisfield team,” Greenwood said. “We started out very well. We had some opportunities, but could not finish them. We then gave away a silly penalty kick, because we got caught with too many defenders forward and were scrambling. “But, to answer less than 30 seconds later, was good and then to open up the second half with a goal was clutch, too,” he continued. “I thought we moved the ball better than we have leading up to this point. We worked hard to regain the lead, which was a good sign that late in the half.” Decatur will host the Pocomoke Warriors on Monday at 4 p.m. in Berlin.
on is scoring off rebounds – following up shots – and we had two rebound goals as well,” Underkoffler said after Wednesday’s 8-0 victory. “It’s nice when you work on things in training and it comes through in the game, especially right after the training session. Nor-
mally you have to get two or three sessions in.” Prep goalie, senior captain Cooper Richins, recorded 11 saves. Underkoffler praised his performance, as well as the defensive players. See GOOD Page 81

Good combination between Wor. Prep attack and defense
Worcester Prep cross country teams win meet
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) The Worcester Prep girls’ and boys’ cross country teams won last Wednesday’s meet with Delmarva Christian and the Salisbury School, in Salisbury. “Both [the] boys and girls ran very well,” Prep Coach Keith Geiger said. “It was a tricky course, because it was through the woods with a few inclines. The path was very narrow, so it was difficult to pass when they’re on the trails.” The times were a bit higher than the previous week, but Geiger said he thought it was because the course was more difficult. “Even though it was a small meet with the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference teams, I think it helps give everyone confidence that we can win some meets,” he added. “Graham McColgan and Myranda Beebe won their races, and that’s always a nice accomplishment, despite the amount of runners.” Beebe, a freshman, crossed the finish line first overall (23:22). Rounding out the top-five finishers for Worcester Prep were junior captain Ashley Laws (second, 25:16), junior Quinn McColgan (fourth, 28:15), senior captain Hannah Merritt (sixth, 29:15) and sophomore Anna Dashiell (eighth, 30:24). Sophomore Graham McColgan (19:55) was the first Prep runner to complete the race. He was followed by sophomore Connor Carpenter (second, 19:57), junior captain Enzo Zechiel (sixth, 23:02), senior Parker Brandt (eighth, 23:19) and junior Frank Carter (ninth, 24:29). Worcester’s next meet is Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Stephen Decatur in Berlin.

Continued from Page 80 “The solid play of a game like this – everybody’s going to look at the eight, but the zero part of it – [senior] Graham Hammond, a defensive middy, was stopping so many balls in the midfield. And [senior captain] Henry [Taboh] and [freshman] Michael [Wehberg] are hard to get behind as tandem center backs, and Cooper, who just has such range with his hands, to be able to catch so many balls, he was so quick,” Underkoffler said. “You have this attack, but then you have those four guys stopping everything on the other side. It’s a pretty good combination.” The Sussex Tech Ravens will come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game against Worcester.

Decatur golf team shooting for Dist. VIII championship By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 5, 2018) After securing the top spot in the Bayside Conference South last week, the Stephen Decatur golf team added another check in the win column on Tuesday. Decatur led the field of eight teams at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover. The Seahawks shot a 165. James M. Bennett came in second place with a 173 and Snow Hill finished in third with a 198. Senior captain Emily Malinowski and junior Brady Leonard both carded 39s and earned co-medalist honors. Senior captain Hayden Snelsire shot a 42 and senior Blaine Warren tallied a 45.
“Considering that the match did not have any bearing on the standings, I thought they played really well,” Decatur Coach Dan Stearman said. “It’s not a course they play often, so they really played as champions.” Decatur’s final match of the regular season was yesterday, Thursday. The Seahawks will join the other 17 Bayside Conference schools for the District VIII tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 10, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Hyatt Resort in Cambridge. “I think they need to play as consistently as they have throughout the season and continue to not make mistakes on the course, to keep away from the high scores and, most importantly, continue to support each other,” Stearman said.

Senior Kailey Andrews crossed the finish line first overall, completing the race in 24:11.8. Also contributing to the win was senior Dori Krasner, who came in third overall (25:16.2) and sophomore Mary Mergott, who was fourth (25:45.5). Junior Elizabeth Dutton finished in sixth overall (26:55.2) and Mikayla Denault, also a junior, crossed the line eighth (28:13.1). “Kailey definitely had her strongest race of the year. Hopefully she can use this performance to continue with strong results in the second half of the season,” Stigler said. “The girls scored 15 points, which is the best possible team score that you can have in cross country, so I think the entire girls’ team had a strong race.” The runners who came in second,
fifth and seventh were from schools without complete teams, so they did not earn team points. The Decatur boys’ team scored 39 points. Nandua recorded 70 points, good for second place. James M. Bennett finished in third with 73 points. Junior Sam Rakowski led the Seahawks, crossing the finish line third overall (20:16.7). “For the boys, Sam Rakowski was the standout and he definitely had his strongest race of the year,” Stigler said. Rounding out Decatur’s top-five finisher were freshman Sam Woodley (sixth, 21:01.5), senior Chad Fischer (ninth, 21:17.7), freshman James Parana (10th, 21:33.8) and junior Carter McLendon (11th, 21:54.3).

They were able to control most of the game and keep possession.” Senior Dana Anderson assisted junior Rylie Carey’s goal with about
five minutes left in the first half. Anderson netted a pass from senior captain Hailee Arrington around the 27-minute mark in the second half. Pocomoke scored with two minutes left in the game. Prep junior goalie Aly Matha recorded nine saves. The Lady Mallards will host the Saint Peter & Paul Sabres today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin. When the teams went head-tohead on Sept. 13, Worcester won 1-0.

SURF REPORT
Dalkiewicz: Surfing is a young man’s game By Dave Dalkiewicz Contributing Writer (Oct. 5, 2018) Surfing is a young man’s game, but plenty of older guys are actively involved as well. Back in the day, the number of older guys actively engaged was quite minimal to the point of being more like non-existent. The younger guys from the past who stuck with it have become the older guys of the present day, and there are plenty of them. Surfing is relatively new and unlike baseball, football and basketball, a major sport it isn’t. It’s a fringe element at best and will lend itself well to coastal areas. That’s fairly obvious in that that’s where the “playing fields” are. So, yes, the older guy factor plays well into surfing. It’s loaded with professionals and tradesmen alike, including doctors, lawyers, teachers, Indian chiefs, not to mention plumbers, electricians, carpenters, real estate, insurance and mortgage guys. Head to Assateague Island on any given morning, afternoon, or evening and there’s sure to be a crew of older
guys and younger ones too for that matter. No longer has surfing become an “age” matter. It’s all encompassing. Young, old, male and female, it really doesn’t make a difference. It’s open to anyone and everyone. There’s a particular beauty to surfing in that it becomes so individualized. Height, weight, age, gender are all factors that have no consequence. It can be all adjustable to that particular individual – beginner, intermediate, experienced, competitor, free surfing. All of it is valid to become any path the person wants to take. It is what it is to you. By this point in time, the sport/art is roughly 50 years old beginning, more or less, in the 1960’s and passing through a couple of generations. At first, there was a rebellious factor. The 1960’s were sort of like that in a lot of areas, surfing being one of them. Hair styles, music, war protests, even surfing had massive changes especially regarding length of surfboards. It’s this time element that has enabled a legitimized older local “crew” of surfers, again making no difference, but having some prominence just the same.

Legitimate is a good term putting surfing on an equal basis like other major sports such as baseball, football, and basketball even though fringe comes to mind when speaking of surfing. In the water the other day were three of us, all elder statesmen. A doc-
tor, teacher and business owner enjoying a little water time still at it and just as enthused. Such a good thing to maintain a continuity and proceed on a path open to all. — Dave Dalkiewicz is the owner of Ocean Atlantic Surf Shop in Ocean City.
