City buys post office property Council says rent from Postal Service will pay for purchase
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
SNAPPER SHOT A large snapping turtle headed for dry ground in an Ocean Pines driveway after last week’s heavy rain, even though it was well equipped to deal with it. With a length close to 18 inches, this snapper probably weighed in at more than 20 pounds. In other words, it’s not moving until it wants to move ... regardless of what might fall on it in the interim.
Side street cell towers? City officials fighting plan to plant poles in residential areas, ask public to object
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) A company hoping to erect cell phone poles, some as tall as 38 feet, in two of Ocean City’s residential areas was rebuffed Monday night by the City Council. The elected officials are also calling on residents of those neighborhoods to voice their objections as well. City Engineer Terry McGean told the council Monday that the city staff had denied permits to install about 90 distributed antenna systems in Ocean City,
citing concerns on their location and their appearance. “We have not approved a single one of them at the local level,” McGean said. “We said that we were very strongly opposed to these installations, particularly in our residential neighborhoods where utilities are already undergrounded.” Mobile operator company Crown Castle first approached resort officials about installing the technology to expand the city’s bandwidth to improve internet accessibility in 2015. That initial proposal sought to install new hardware on existing light and utility poles. But when Crown Castle returned this spring, it was with a completely new plan that caused concern among city officials.
“At first [in 2015] we were willing to work with them. But then they went through different consultants and their proposal was substantially different than what we had previously seen,” McGean said. McGean added that the resort’s current cell hardware on standing utility poles and water towers do provide adequate coverage, but it’s not enough to supply the bandwidth that will be needed with upcoming technology. For example, McGean said, a person at Ravens’ game could have cell service but be unable to go online. “We understand this is needed technology and something our residents and guests with cell phones are going to be See PUBLIC Page 5
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) The property on which the downtown post office sits now belongs to the Town of Ocean City, almost, following the City Council’s vote Monday to buy the property for $1.35 million. Although the council passed the measure authorizing the purchase, papers will need to be signed to make the deal official.

The five-year lease was renewed to February 2022, and the city will be abiding by that agreement. After that, the land could be used for parking. “My feeling is that with us purchasing it, the Post Office is going to be there another five years,” Councilman Wayne Hartman said. He added that the rent received on the property would more than cover the cost to buy it. Further, he said if the See RESIDENTS Page 3

Cruisers reminded permits needed for trailer parking
(Oct. 7, 2016) The Town of Ocean City’s new trailer parking ordinance prohibits trailer parking on city streets from May 1 to Oct. 31. Permits are available only to registered participants of Endless Summer Cruisin’ for a fee of $50 from the event promoter. Special event participants who will be parking a trailer on city streets will need a trailer parking permit, however; participants should be reminded that trailer and/or oversized vehicle parking on Baltimore Avenue is prohibited at all times. Limited free trailer parking during special events is available at the Route 50 Park & Ride (located at the south side of route 50 just before crossing the bridge into Ocean City) and limited paid trailer parking at the 100th Street Parking Lot. Additionally many hotels are offering free trailer parking. For more information and frequently asked questions, visit http://oceancitymd.gov/oc/departments/city-clerk/trailer-ordinance/

years?” resident Herb Palkowitz asked. “They’re not getting enough revenue for what you’re bonding for it.” “The revenue from the post office is going to pay the purchase price for at least the next five years,” Council President Lloyd Martin said. “As long as it doesn’t go out of business that is.” City Solicitor Guy Ayres also pointed out that the property’s valuation at the time the Hannah estate was being settled was higher than what the city is paying. “We’re taking advantage of this price because, while the real estate market went down and it’s been gradually coming back, it has not reached the valuation at the time of Mr. Hanna’s death. I don’t think anyone can predict what the price is going to be [in five years] but it’s not going to
go down anytime soon,” Ayres said. Resident John Medlin also asked if the resort was overpaying for the Post Office, since his own research through the Department of Assessments and Taxation’s put the land and the building’s combined worth of $925,000. “Why are we paying twice the assessed value? Since we’re not going to do anything with the building except tear it down after it closes… I’m not sure how they’re going to stay in business because the Post Office is losing money and the federal government has to bail them out.” Ayres replied that if the town was going to condemn the property, the assessed value from the Department of Taxation was not how that cost would be quantified. “The value would be based on property appraisals, and we have
done that,” he said. “But to condemn the property, it gets expensive and you’re at the jury’s discretion of what they will return in the inquisition.” Ocean City reportedly offered $70,000 to $80,000 more than the appraised value on the post office. “It’s well less than what they asked for since we asked the owner for a compromise because of the appraisal,” Hartman said. “I think the value is well-stated. The tax assessment is not always in line.” Following the vote on the sale, the Council also unanimously passed an ordinance on first reading that recognized a bond obligation to finance the property over 10 years. If the parcel is turned into a parking lot eventually, it would have room for 60 spaces, according to a city staff assessment.

Candidates scarce in OC municipal election With only four days left to file, no challengers have come forward for council
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) If no one files for election by the Oct. 11 deadline, this November’s Ocean City municipal election could be the first time in at least 35 years that no one is challenging the incumbents’ run for reelection. Ocean City’s political arena has remained silent since council members Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, Tony DeLuca and Council Secretary Mary Knight filed for re-election as a ticket back in January. Half the elected officials have held their spot on the dais for years, as Knight and Cymek were first elected
in 2006 and 2008, respectively. Meanwhile, Dare served as city manager for 11 years before being dismissed by a previous City Council during a long-running political dispute over employee pay and benefits. He then successfully ran for a spot on the council in 2012, earning the highest vote total that election. Unlike his fellow councilmembers, DeLuca ran in 2014 when Ocean City was guaranteed three new councilmembers, as incumbents Brent Ashley, Margaret Pillas and Joe Mitrecic chose not to seek reelection. DeLuca was elected, but with the lowest vote total of all the winners, thus placing him in a two-year seat vacated by Mitrecic, who successfully ran for county commissioners. Mayor Rick Meehan, wrapping up his fifth two-year term, is also up for re-election. Unlike council elections,
the mayoral race is has been contested sporadically. The last time Meehan faced competition in the polls was in 2012. In that cycle, he trounced newcomer Nick Campagnoli with 2,238 votes to 629. Candidates for local office tend to step forward after summer has ended, but that has not been the case this time around and city officials who have been around for decades, can’t recall anything like it. In order to qualify for a candidate for the council or mayor, individuals must be a resident of Ocean City for four months preceding the election and at least 18 years old, according to the city code. Candidates must not have been convicted by a state circuit court or district court of a felony or embezzlement, bribery or extortion of a public officer. Those interested in running for an
elected position are required to file a certificate of candidacy in person to the City Clerk’s office. It costs $25 to file the paperwork, but in reality, it costs thousands of dollars to successfully run a campaign. According to financial disclosure statements from Oct. 28 and Nov. 17, James took in $11,170 in donations and received $1,528 in inkind contributions in the 2014 election. In the end, he had roughly $5,000 in obligations. Hartman had the second costliest campaign, with $7,704 in reported campaign contributions and DeLuca had $4,770. Both councilmen broke relatively even in expenses. The incumbents that year had lower margins. Martin reported no campaign spending. Meehan took in $150 in in-kind donations and spent $514. The annual salary for council president and councilmembers is currently $11,000 and $10,000, respectively. The mayor is paid $30,000 a year.

Public comments critical to fight pole placement in OC Continued from Page 1 looking for,” he said. “However, there is a responsible way to implement this. “We are working with our own legal experts to determine, what our regulatory rights are,” he continued. “And we are working with Crown Castle to find a reasonable solution that allows the new technology while protecting the character of our residential neighborhoods.” It could be difficult for Ocean City to challenge the proposed antennas from a legal standpoint, since Crown Castle is a Maryland public utility and falls under the Federal Communications Commission’s laws and the state’s Public Service Commission’s purview. But there is one course of action that the Ocean City and its residents can take: writing in their concerns to Crown Castle or the Maryland Public Service Commission. “We strongly encourage that any-
one who has concerns about this to respond. The town is going to do everything it can to make sure our residential neighborhoods are respected,” McGean said. Councilwoman Mary Knight agreed, reflecting on her time with AT&T cellular company. “What they do if we don’t speak out is, when they go before the Public Service Commission, they just say ‘well, nobody said anything.’ That’s why we think it is really crucial that the public speaks out on this,” she said. Mayor Rick Meehan stressed his and the Council’s position and that it was essential that the residents and officials show a strong united front. “We’re actually in this together. This is one where we we’re asking for your help to also write the letters and also make the phone calls to let them know you support of the council and we have a unified opposition to this as presented,” Meehan said.
City begins winter schedule for trash pickup, Wednesday (Oct. 7, 2016) The Town of Ocean City will resume its winter trash collection schedule on Wednesday, Oct. 12. Residential trash collections will be reduced to one day per week, while commercial trash collections will be reduced to three days per week. The trash collection schedule will be as follows: Residential: (waste wheelers): Monday: Oceanside (75th Street to 146th Street); Bayside (75th Street to 135th Street). Tuesday: All areas (Inlet to 74th Street); Bayside (136th Street to
146th Street). Commercial: (Front-end and 300gallon containers) Monday, Wednesday, Friday: All areas. This trash collection schedule will be in effect until May 8, 2017. For more information about the Town of Ocean City’s Solid Waste Division, visit http://oceancitymd.gov/Public_Works/solidwaste.html.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) A former student, teacher, principal, chief operating officer and assistant superintendent of Worcester County Public Schools, Lou Taylor, added another title during a press conference on Friday night: interim superintendent. Though a read of the room during the conference, replete elective and school officials, or a quick ear during Douglas Dryden’s invocation would have revealed the result before Board President Jonathan Cook’s official announcement, the only real surprises during the meeting were the title of “interim” superintendent and the resignation, effective Oct. 31, of sitting Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson. Wilson had already announced he was not seeking a new four-year contract, due to expire July 1, 2017, but hadn’t publicly hinted his tenure would be up much sooner. “I want to express my appreciation to the board and the Worcester County community for the opportunity to serve as superintendent of schools,” Wilson said in a news release issued
following the announcement, said. “I believe our educators have made great strides toward becoming a world class school system as evident by our students’ outstanding achievement in the recently released PARCC scores. Worcester County’s cumulative scores were higher than any other county in the state for two years in a row. I have been fortunate to work with outstanding educational leaders, and I have witnessed powerful instruction.” Wilson was not present at the conference. Cook said the “interim” title was because of a state law requiring formal announcements of superintendents to be made in February. He said it was this board’s “every intention” to make the change permanent in February. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to lead the school system I grew up in. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work,” Taylor said after the conference. In his acceptance speech, Taylor said it was his responsibility to live up to the trust placed in him as he focused on educating the next generation of Worcester County students. “Our children are watching and waiting,” he said. Taylor explained the children were watching and waiting for the people of Worcester County to act as one people

The Worcester County Board of Education named Lou Taylor, left, interim superintendent last Friday night. Jonathan Cook, right, president of the board, said the change couldn’t be made permanent until February, due to state law.
‘I can’t tell you how excited I am to lead the school system I grew up in. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.’ Lou Taylor
with a singular purpose, and said he was reminded of the former motto of the United States, “E pluribus unum,” Latin for “out of many, one.” The motto was changed to “In God we trust” in 1956. Perhaps the most emotional speech of the night was delivered by Buzz Taylor, a former board of education member and father of the new superintendent.
“I never thought I’d see the day when my son would take over the school district,” he said. Additional speeches in support of the decision were made by Delegate Mary Beth Carozza, Sen. Jim Mathias, Worcester County Commissioner President Jim Bunting, County Commissioner Chip Bertino and Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan, among others.

Summer of 2016 runs close second for deadliest season Six fatalities this year ranks behind 2014, both involved one homicide among stats By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) While there were plenty of headlines and tragic stories over the last few months, Ocean City is not ending its deadliest summer. It was, however, a close second. From May 1 to Labor Day, six fatalities occurred in Ocean City, five as the result of accidents and one was a homicide. In comparison, 2014 was the worst in the five-year period, with seven fatalities. One was a homicide and six were related to rip currents in the ocean. “Any time there is a death in Ocean City it truly does affect us all, regardless of the circumstances,” said Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard. “What is particularly tragic is that … these deaths could have been avoided. Unfortunately for Ocean City, health and safety statistics rarely put things in perspective, as the number of incidents is frequently divided into the number of year-round residents to produce a percentage of population figure for crimes and serious accidents. As a result, these inflated numbers can make Ocean City look like one of the more dangerous places a visitor can go, when the opposite is true. City officials estimate a daily population of almost 214,000 every day from May to Oct. 1. Assuming most visitors stay for a week — an admitted stretch — that would mean some 4 million different people visit the beach during that period. That puts Ocean City on par with major metropolitan areas, where the number of accidental deaths and homicides is much greater as a percentage of the population. The Center of Disease Control Prevention reports an average of 41.3 accidental deaths per 100,000 population and a murder rate of 5.1 deaths per 100,000 people. If that the

case in summertime Ocean City, the resort would have experienced more than 1,900 fatal accidents and 238 homicides based on the national average. This summer’s sole homicide was when 31-year-old Ryan Shupert suffered serious injuries following a brawl during Memorial Day weekend. A street fight also was the cause in 2014’s homicide. A man from North White Township, Pennsylvania was killed following an altercation downtown. Included in this year’s vacation season’s fatalities count were a drowning at Assateague National Seashore and a man who fell from a balcony. Two vehicle traffic deaths occurred this year, including a motorcyclist who collided with a vehicle during Cruisin’ Ocean City and a pedestrian who was struck by a police cruiser in May. This summer marked the first year there was a pedestrian fatality since 2012, when there were two deaths. Other notable incidents include a nine-year-old boy who fell off the bow of a pontoon boat and was struck by its propeller in mid-August. That was one of several boating accidents this summer, including a woman who was injured after falling off a pontoon and a Pennsylvania woman who was struck by a boat while she was competing in the Ocean Games in July. Although accidental deaths and homicides in the warmer months are relatively low compared to major cities, this year has seen a rise in fatalities in the past five years. In 2012, from May 1 to Labor Day, there were reported four deaths, including the pedestrian incidents. In that same period the following year, four fatalities occurred. That statistic includes two police officers who died in a plane crash near 130th Street and two fishermen who perished when their boats capsized during the White Marlin Open. The summer of 2015 saw the lowest number of fatal incidents in those 18 weeks, with a fall off a building that was believed to be a suicide, and a swimmer death.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) The end of summer turned tragic for recreational boater Mike Funk, who died on Sept. 15 after contracting a flesh-eating bacteria in Assawoman Bay. His widow, Marcia Funk, said the nightmare began on Sept. 11 as the couple was preparing to leave their summer residence on 94th Street for their home in the Phoenix, Arizona area. “Sunday afternoon, Mike and his friend pulled the boat out from the boat ramp,” she said. On Tuesday, the couple packed their belongings for the trip. “He went to store and came back and was just sitting in the car with the lights on,” she said. “I asked him what’s wrong and he said, ‘I don’t feel good, I’m throwing up.’” Mike went inside to rest and after waking at about 8 p.m., he told his wife, “I don’t feel well, you better call the paramedics.” Marcia said her husband told the paramedics he suffered from back problems and a knee injury he sustained during his service in the Viet Nam conflict and that he had been
prescribed pain medication for them. “He said, ‘I think maybe I forgot to take one of my pain pills,’ because sometimes if he did that it would make him sick to his stomach,” she said. “They asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital and he said ‘no.’ A couple hours later, he woke up writhing in pain and he said, ‘Please call the paramedics back.’” Mike, age 67, was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where the medical staff determined he had necrotizing fasciitis, an infection caused by bacte-
ria that can quickly destroy the body’s soft tissue. Doctors questioned Marcia, who confirmed her husband had not consumed raw oysters or other shellfish, but had been cleaning crab pots to be packed away until next spring. “They said that’s what it is, it’s the water on the crab pots,” she said. “Come to find out, when he pulled the boat out he waded in the water over at the boat ramp. He didn’t (usually) get in the water, that was the only time all summer.”

Mike’s situation was deteriorating rapidly. “He was just screaming with pain and his blood pressure was so low they couldn’t give him anything for pain,” she said. “It was really horrible.” On Wednesday, Mike was flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma unit in Baltimore, where surgeons hoped amputating his leg would stop the infection. It did not and by Thursday Mike Funk was on life-support and Marcia eventually made the decision to pull the plug. The cause of Mike’s infection was found to be the vibrio vulnificus bacteria, which exists naturally in warm, shallow salt and brackish waters along both coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico. According to the Centers for Disease Control, which has been tracking the disease since 2007, these bacterial infections are rare and generally affect people with weak immune systems. The CDC also said most people become infected by eating raw shellfish, especially oysters, although the bacteria can enter the body through open cuts or wounds. “He did have an open sore on his leg which I assume is how he got it,” Marcia said. Bob Mitchell, Worcester County director of environmental programs, said people with cuts and abrasions should exercise caution before going in the water. “We have a lot of folks that go into the water with big wounds, like a cut, and that’s very risky,” he said. He recommends using waterproof bandages and wearing water shoes to avoid damaging feet on barnacles or fishhooks. “Use extra care when you’re handling crab pots or other equipment,” he said. “If you get a cut or scrape, clean it immediately with soap and water. If clean water is not available, clean the wound with a hand sanitizer then wash as soon as possible.” Mitchell also said local waters are regularly monitored for potential health threats. “We sample the bay waters for bacteria,” he said. “This isn’t a chlorinated pool that everybody is monitoring, these are natural areas. They are clean for the most part, especially on the ocean side, but things do happen.” Still processing her loss, Marcia Funk said the events happened so fast it was stunning. “The surgeon said if you get this, you will be an amputee in 24 hours and if that doesn’t work you’re going to dead in 36 hours and that’s exactly what happened, it was on the money,” she said. “He loved his crabs, he loved his boat and he loved the waters here. It’s what took his life and I still can’t get my head wrapped around it, it’s a nightmare.”

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Although numerous efforts over the years to redevelop the 45th Street Village failed to overcome certain obstacles and earn the required support from Ocean City government, a new proposal from the property owner has the Planning and Zoning Commission expressing confidence that this idea will come to fruition. Appearing before the Planning Commission Tuesday night, architect Keith Iott presented a blueprint for a five-story Starwood Hotel with a 1,600 square-foot retail space in the place of a row of aging retail shops along the 45th Street Village’s southern border. This latest project design was warmly received by the commission, which voted to accept the site plan with some revisions. Plans to develop a hotel complex on the site began in 2004 as part of a larger plan to redevelop the area into a shopping center. That effort stalled, however, because of the recession and parking space requirements.
This time, the key seems to be the inclusion of a new retail space. “One thing we struggled with is the feeling that this project is a moving target,” Iott said. “And one of the reasons we’re going ahead with this footprint and this aesthetic for the retail to finish out this site. Our concern is marching toward a 2017 start and a 2018 delivery.” In the past, site developers saw their plans rejected because of parking inadequacies. The city code has a mandated space requirement based on a building’s square-footage, although the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Zoning Appeals could grant the project a 20 percent parking exemption. Although several properties nearby — including the Bella Vista condominium, which is on the same parcel as the 45th Street Village —testified that the proposed hotel had never caused any parking overflow, other neighbors complained. The Board of Zoning Appeals ultimately denied the 20 percent parking exemption in 2014. But the retail space and the Taphouse seem to have provided a new loophole for this exemption policy. “The code also says that with a hotel with more than 50 rooms and with amenities, there could be a 50

percent exemption,” said Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith. “They’re now saying that the taphouse is part of the hotel.” Iott told the commissioners that the 45th Street restaurant would provide food to the hotel, and there would only be a catering kitchen, thus meeting the city criteria. By that measure, the site plan now outlines 299 spaces — one space per hotel unit and one space per 225 square feet for related amenities. The proposal also included a gated parking area for the hotel. The retail space was suggested to be a destination surf shop, but is not set in stone.
“If at some point in the future this destination retail is not the best use, then we come back. If there’s a greater burden on parking, then we make a smaller building. The hotel is going to be complete before we start considering the retail space. But we feel like a destination retail could be a lot of fun,” Iott said. Blueprints for the hotel also included common areas, technology that guests can use to control their room’s environment, a pool with a retractable roof, and an outdoor banquet area. By luck, a banquet lawn will also be created as the building will include a 25See HOTEL Page 16

Hotel to highlight sunsets, hopes to draw weddings in Continued from Page 15 foot setback to abide by critical areas requirements. “The beautiful thing is that we’ll be able to do indoor-outdoor weddings,” Iott said. “We see this as one of the premiere wedding destinations for a hotel because, by and large, the banquet stages are usually inside. We have a banquet space on the nicest views in Ocean City. “With those sunsets, the pictures will take themselves,” he added. “It’ll be dynamite.” Several commission members, including Joel Brous, were impressed with the schematics for the hotel. “I think it’s good to have a plan for the property, not just a piece of it,” he said. “This is going to fit much nicer than what we’ve seen in past designs,” agreed Chairwoman Pam Buckley. “I think this is a much better project.” The commission voted to approve the site plan changes depending on the city staff’s input on items such as wastewater and that it was brought back for discussion on the retail space. Commission members Palmer Gillis and Peck Miller recused themselves from the vote.
No credible threat found after curious Instagram posting
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) An Instagram post referencing a vague threat directed toward a specific class and time created a flurry of comments, posts and concern that ended up going nowhere. On Wednesday, an unidentified individual, said to be a student of Stephen Decatur High School using the handle “timmy.the.shooter,” made the following statement online: “Have fun in Mr. Kohl’s class tomorrow 2nd period be safe.” Carrie Sterrs, schools spokeswoman, said while it was determined that the threat was not credible, “the safety and well being of every student is a top priority, so an increased police presence was requested at the school as a precaution.” Neither the schools nor the police reported any incidents related to the posting. Cpl. Alex Kagan with the Sheriff’s Office said the threat did not rise to the level of warranting a criminal investigation, and that any further action would come from the schools themselves. Sterrs said she could not confirm any disciplinary action connected with a Worcester student related to the post.

Us On
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) As most of the lower shore is anticipating what, if anything, Hurricane Matthew could bring, the southwestern portion of the county continues to deal with the aftermath of last week’s strong storms that left most of the north end of town under water. Those waters have begun to recede, as the Worcester County Sheriff’s office announced Tuesday evening that Snow Hill Road north of the drawbridge was open to traffic. It had been closed by the State Highway Administration last Friday. However, the road is not open in its entirety. A section west of Mt. Olive Road remains impassible because of a large washout, cutting the town off from Salisbury. Also, the drawbridge is inoperable because the flooding destroyed the motor and is closed to marine traffic. The SHA said it would take a few weeks to repair. “The area has a bunch of 42-inch drainage pipes that were scheduled to be replaced next year,” Charlie Gischlar, spokesman for the State Highway Administration said. That schedule has been expedited, he said, but the SHA is still waiting to see what the weather will do this weekend before making firm plans on the repair schedule. Gischlar said it would take three or four weeks to restore Route 12 to its original condition. “We’re also addressing areas with lane washouts with rip rap — those aren’t a big deal,” he said. “In other cases, it’s like trying to hold back the ocean with a broom.” However, the truck carrying the riprap may have aided the deteriorating conditions that led to the washout of Snow Hill Road. The waterlogged soil began washing away, causing a sinkhole in the road that quickly widened into a total breach. Gischlar said he could not deny that the truck, which was carrying a big load of rip-rap for repairs on multiple fronts during the deluge, might have exacerbated the erosion in the area of Mt. Olive Road. “That was first built 30 to 50 years ago,” Gischlar said. “We use different materials and methodologies now. We’ll have to do the design and get the materials. We’re very cognizant of what needs to happen, but we may not start until after we know what Matthew is going to do, because then all of our work may be for naught.” Gischlar said all other roads along Route 12, with the exception of the washed-out area, were open to traffic as of Wednesday morning. The river engulfed Byrd Park in Snow Hill last Thursday, and the surging river caused a “combined sewage overflow” of more than See CONTAMINATED Page 20

Contaminated floodwaters flow through Snow Hill Continued from Page 18 10,000 gallons at the adjacent wastewater treatment plant. Residents were warned to avoid contact with the floodwaters because of this and other contamination, until the advisory was lifted Wednesday morning. “To put it in perspective here in Worcester, we have a washout of whatever was in the flood zone potentially washing into the river. You have solids: logs, branches, debris, even natural scat like deer spore if they lay in an area that was washed out,” Bob Mitchell, director of environmental services for Worcester County said. “There are many contributing elements to what is in the creek in the churning floodwaters that are moving through our county at the present.” Though Wicomico, Salisbury and other points northward of Snow Hill in Maryland aren’t seeing overflow from wastewater treatment plants, the water is undoubtedly dirty. It’s also moving quickly, which led to the complete cancellation of the Delmarva Paddling Weekend, which is a project that had been in the works for months. “We knew we needed to cancel because the water was going to keep running all weekend — even if the

sun was out, the water will keep running — it’s too dangerous,” Jim Rapp, event organizer, said last Friday. “We might do something later in the fall, like a Delmarva Paddling Weekend Lite.” Rapp said the event would return next year. Furnace Town, however, remained open and the Celtic Festival was held last Saturday and Sunday. In Berlin, the only casualty of the storm was one of the four generators at the power plant, which had flooded previously under different circumstances in 2012. Managing Director Jeff Fleetwood said insurance will
likely cover the repairs, and no service interruptions were caused due to the loss of the generator. Elsewhere in Berlin, Fleetwood said recent stormwater improvements on Flower Street, which include a large retention pond, passed a major first test of sorts, last weekend. “That seems to be doing its job,” he said. “There’s just water everywhere, [but] the only thing I can honestly tell you that took damage is that one generator.” Pocomoke City had no major incidents, according to City Manager/City Attorney Ernie Crofoot.

Maryland tourism proves to be prosperous Data shows some success in recalibrating in Ocean City’s advertisement areas
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Maryland’s tourism industry is booming and expanding and, judging from the presentation at the Governor’s Economic Development Committee meeting in Ocean City Wednesday, there are many numbers and statistics to prove it. “Tourism really helps with economic development. Since the great recession, jobs have bounced back in the tourism industry 18 percent, leading all industries in moving forward,” Liz Fitzsimmons, the managing director of the state’s Division of Tourism, Film and the Arts told the
breakfast crowd at the Carousel. She broke down several statistics on the state’s marketing costs and tourism revenue, arguing that the first step of stimulating local economy is to bring people across that threshold for a trip. “Tourism does provide quality of life assurances, which is really attractive to businesses. When you think about it, economic development starts with a visit, because every business begins there – whether it’s a relocation, an expansion out just starting out,” she said. According to survey results from the U.S. Travel Association, Maryland welcomed 40.5 million visitors in 2015 who spent $16.4 billion on travel. Of that total, $2.2 billon is in state and local taxes. Visitor spending also saves every Maryland household
$1,010 in taxes that year, she said. The tourism industry also supported 140,000 employees who earned $5.4 billion in wages last year. Those returns, particularly in revenue and visitors, saw a sizable spike. “Our visitors increase six percent, and our revenue increased 6 percent,” Fitzsimmons told the group. “But one of our challenges in the tourism world is that looking who we’re competing against. We’re competing for the for the hearts, minds, souls and wallets of a consumer’s discretionary dollar.” She pointed out that businesses spend $81 billion dollars on advertisements to get consumers’ attention whereas all 50 states have $470 million in marketing efforts combined. Maryland’s tourism budget was set at $11.4 million. “We rank dead middle in the pack

AP
[nationwide] at #25 in budgets, and Virginia is in the top 10. When you compare to other states, we have to sing a little louder, prouder and smarter,” she said. On a local scale, Ocean City continues as one of the top destinations in Maryland, with 12 percent of the state’s visitors spending time and money in the resort. But despite best efforts to expand the island’s marketing outreach, there seems to be little change in where tourists are originating — Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., Fitzsimmons said. “We’re working with our county tourism to change that, because if they come further, they stay longer and spend more.” A recently developed grant program that fully reimburses county tourisms departments helped in that endeavor, since the Maryland office could devote more coverage to other states. In the last year, the state has launched marketing efforts in Pittsburgh, and in Ohio – mainly Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. New returns on that been promising, Fitzsimmons said. “Most of our day trippers come from D.C. and New York has up to 11 percent in overnight stays and seven percent of day trippers. What we’re finding is that it takes two and a half See MARKETING Page 24

Marketing efforts will focus on Ohio, Pittsburgh visitors Continued from Page 22 hours to come from Manhattan to the Eastern Shore, and it’s a four-hour trip from Manhattan to the Hamptons,” she said. Philadelphia has stayed constant visitor numbers, and Baltimore has 23 percent in day trips and eight percent in overnight stays. There has been promising growth in the Pittsburgh market. Three percent visitors came from that city to stay overnight. “We can work with that dynamic,” she said. “I was down here in July and I was stunned by the number of cars I saw from Pittsburgh and you can tell because they have Steelers and Pirates stuff. That was encouraging to me.” Other statistics of note to Ocean City hotel and business enterprises showed that more than 50 percent of overnight travelers in the resort are 50 years old or older and most trips are done by people without children in the household. Addressing Ocean City’s desire to capture the millennial market, Fitzsimmons said that her research showed that the younger age range and the baby boomers were looking for similar travel experiences. She also reported that the beach, fishing and boating are highly successful enterprises because 37 percent of visitors come for water-based activities. Forty percent of resort day trippers have a household income of $50,000 and 40 percent have an income of more than $75,000. “But 7o percent of people stay in paid accommodations. That’s awesome because a high number is visiting friends and family. Some states don’t have that high of a number. In other business at the meeting, Senator Jim Mathias, Delegate Mary Beth Carozza reaffirmed their commitment to Gov. Larry Hogan’s executive order pushing back the public school starting date after Labor Day despite the impending pushback from the Maryland legislature. “We will continue to be vigilant on our Post-Labor Day success,” Carozza said. “There will be some of my colleagues in the General Assembly that will challenge that, but we will be ready with a strategy.”

Commissioners OK sale of Gold Coast liquor inventory Neighboring tenent plans to expand, renovate store, offers to buy entire stock By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Worcester County government continues its purge of its liquor dispensary business and its assets, as the county commissioners voted 5-1 Tuesday to sell its inventory at the county’s Gold Coast Mall liquor store to a neighboring business. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic was the dissenting vote against a bulk purchase proposal from Mohamad Ramadan, owner of Gold Coast Beer & Wine on 115th Street. The topic sparked a lengthy debate at the commissioners last meeting on Sept. 20, with the matter being tabled until Tuesday’s proceedings. At the September meeting, County Attorney Maureen Howarth said the property owner made a business decision that altered the initial plans. “We had originally intended to include the Gold Coat Mall store in the original request for proposal for our 16th Street retail liquor store location,” she said. “However, the landlord was not inclined to give us an extension of our lease, which expires
at the end of this year.” The space will instead be leased by Ramadan, who plans to expand and renovate the store, contingent on acquiring a new Class “A” beer, wine and liquor license. The inventory at the Gold Coast location is valued at roughly $150,000. Under terms of the bulk purchase agreement, Ramadan has offered to buy that stock and additional inventory stored elsewhere provided he can get it at 10 percent above the county’s cost. He set his purchase limit at $300,000, which would leave the county $30,000 profit. Howarth advised the commissioners during the September meeting the county staff recommended accepting what they determined to be a worthwhile deal. Mitrecic wondered if there may be more profit to be gained from the arrangement with Ramadan. “We’re letting this gentlemen have this store for $30,000,” he said, referring to the liquor sales profit. “We’re not deriving any other compensation for the rights to have the store.” Kelly Shannahan, county assistant chief administrative officer, reminded Mitrecic the lease was not See COUNTY Page 26

Hit-and-run driver has multitude of charges dropped Waitress pleads guilty to reckless driving, fined $300
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Meredith Ashley, 21, who was facing more than a dozen charges stemming from a hit-and-run incident involving a bicyclist this July, pled guilty to one count of reckless driving in District Court in Ocean City on Monday. Judge Daniel Mumford fined Ashley $300 for reckless driving from a July 8 accident when her vehicle struck a cyclist heading south on Coastal Highway near 46th Street. When police arrived on the scene just before 11 p.m., they found a victim bleeding from both elbows and expressing concern over a potential head injury. Police reported that a witness said that Ashley had been driving in the bus lane so she could splash pedestrians by driving through puddles. The witness also told police that after hitting the bicyclist Ashley sped off. Ashley’s defense attorney and father, Joseph Ashley, told the court his daughter first drove to her 2nd Street residence before receiving his counsel and contacting police. “Ms. Ashley called me and I instructed her to call 911, which she did immediately,” he said. “She was mortified by this whole situation. It scared her to death.” He also offered an alternative scenario for his daughter driving approximately three blocks in the bus lane after leaving work on 49th Street before striking a bike around 46th Street. “She pulled out of Seacrets parking lot and because of the hour she couldn’t get into the main lanes so she stayed in the right lane,” he said. “I presume she was trying to merge onto the road and a vehicle stopped directly in front of her and fortunately she wasn’t going that fast when she struck this individual.” Some 20 minutes after OCPD Officer Nathan Kutz responded to the accident scene, Meredith Ashley contacted police and said she thought she hit a bicyclist near 49th Street. In his report, Kutz said Ashley admitted to driving the vehicle involved and fleeing the because she was “freaking out.” He also reported that Ashley laughingly referred to the victim as a “foreigner” who was unlikely to press charges. In court Meredith Ashley admitted she made a mistake and expressed relief that no one was more seriously injured. “Looking back on it I should have absolutely stopped,” she told the court. “I was just completely scared and shocked and didn’t know how to handle the fact (that) I just hit a human being. I called the police as soon as I could get my head clear, about 20 minutes after.”

the suspect, later identified as James Feaster II, 38, of Dagsboro, Delaware, had cut the corded lock. On Sept. 21, officers were conducting an unrelated investigation when they located the stolen bicycle at a nearby residence downtown. Shortly after, Feaster was arrested when police located a small amount of marijuana and discovered he had an active warrant for his arrest because of a 2001 drug case. He was seen by a Maryland District Court Commissioner and transferred to the Worcester County Jail on $3,000 bond and later released on personal recognizance following a bond review. To learn more about the bike registration program, citizens are encouraged to visit oceancitymd.gov/police and click on Bicycle Registration, or contact the Ocean City Police Department at 410-723-6610.
Ocean City police officers found and returned a stolen bicycle on Sept. 21, which was registered with the Ocean City Police Department’s bicycle registration program, which ensured that officers already had the serial number and a detailed description of the bicycle on file. Police were first notified about the bike being stolen from the victims’ home on Sept. 19. The report stated
Animal Control officers were called to the inlet lot on Sept. 30 after a twoyear-old boy was bitten by a dog. According to police, the boy approached the dog before being bit in the face. Shortly after, the dog and its owner left the scene. The boy initially received rabies treatment because nothing was known about the dog. Continued on Page 30

Worcester solar co-op extends deadline to join extra month Site visits already underway for early adopters, but lots of time remains to sign up
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) Though the site visits and proposals have been completed, scheduled or are underway for inclusion into the Worcester County Solar Cooperative, organizer Corey Ramsden said new members will be welcome until the end of November. Originally, October was the deadline to join the cooperative, which gives residents from all areas of the county the opportunity to band together to realize a net savings on installation costs for home-use photovoltaic solar power generation. The group has grown to 28 members, most of whom are in some stage of the installation process, Ramsden said. Of the 28 members, 21 have had a site visit or have one scheduled, and seven members are reviewing proposals from the Frederick-based installer, Sustainable Energy Systems. The group formed earlier this year under Ramsden’s guidance through MD Solar, a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging communities to adopt a co-op format for solar panel installa-

tions, to develop a request for proposals from solar installers. Those interested can still visit www.mdsun.org/worcester to register with the co-op. On the site, visitors will find a form requesting several pieces of information, including the address of the home to be outfitted with panels. Using satellite imagery, the installer will perform a check to see if the home is a good fit for solar generation. Ramsden warned that the images are sometimes out of date, so if the installer reports the home is a poor fit for panels, users may want to consider reviewing commonly available satellite images, like Google maps, of their neighborhood to ensure fair representation of their property. If the house is a good fit, a site visit is planned from which a proposal is generated, leveraging the buying power of the co-op to bring down the installation price.
Suspects in PNC Bank robbery in Pocomoke arrested
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) The Norfolk Police Department and U.S. Marshals Service made three arrests in Norfolk, Virginia in connection with the PNC Bank robbery in late September in Pocomoke City. A Sherriff’s deputy apparently located the vehicle shortly after the robbery and attempted to make a traffic stop when several shots were fired from the suspects’ car, disabling the police vehicle. De’Andre Breshon, 28, of Norfolk, has been charged with attempting to commit capital murder, shooting from a vehicle, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and shooting at an occupied vehicle. Demetrius Perry, 21, of Norfolk, has been charged with attempting to commit capital murder, shooting from a vehicle, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and shooting at an occupied vehicle. Lamond Perry, 23, of Norfolk, has been charged with attempting to commit capital murder, shooting from a vehicle, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and shooting at an occupied vehicle. The investigation is continuing and additional arrests are expected, police said. PNC Bank is offering a $10,000 reward for the arrest and prosecution of the suspects. Anyone with additional information is asked to call 757-787-1131.

averages for second year
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) For the second year in a row, Worcester County public school students led the state in college and career readiness in addition to exceeding state averages on their Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test results. In English, more than 58 percent of all students in grades three through eight received a level four or five, which are the two highest levels on the PARCC five-point scale and determines how a student is progressing toward being ready for college or a career. These scores were four percentage points higher than last year and nearly 20 percentage points above the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average. For Worcester County high school students, 52.3 percent who took the test in English received a level four or five, which is above the state average of 44.4 percent. In mathematics, 47.4 percent of students in grades three through eight demonstrated they were going in the right direction, which is a six percent jump from last year and nearly 15 percentage points above the state average. Worcester County high school students were more than 16 percentage points above the state average and 51.8 percent of students scored at a level of four or five in Algebra I.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student assessment results across grade levels continue to validate the hard work and dedication of our educators here in Worcester County,â&#x20AC;? Superintendent of Schools Jerry Wilson said in a release. Third graders stood out in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores because 69 percent received a level four or five in mathematics and 62 percent also proved their college and career readiness in English. Students in third grade exceeded state averages and scored higher than their counterparts in every other county in the state in both subjects. Also scoring higher than all other counties in Maryland, 66 percent of fourth graders, 60 percent of sixth graders and 66 percent of eighth graders demonstrated they were on the path for college and career readiness in English. Seventh graders ranked second in the state with 54 percent testing at the college and career-ready level in English in addition to fourth graders with 58 percent receiving a level four or five in mathematics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to applaud our teachers who are continuing to help our students rise to the level of rigor of the material and concepts in the Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is through strong leadership at our schools, the collaborative work of our school teams and the efforts of our students, their families and the support from our community that all contributed to these high levels of achievement. At the same time, we will use these results to improve opportunities for students who are not college and career ready.â&#x20AC;?

Campaign finance The council agreed to pass an ordinance that moved a segment of the code that outlined the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election ethics code from one section to another. According to the agenda, the City Council voted to amend the Public Ethics code to mirror the State Ethic Commission law that requires officials to identify real estate interests, equity interests and other relationships with debts and gifts. This is so that the public can be assured that the impartiality and independent judgment of officials and employees will be maintained, according to the state Ethics Commission website. The ordinance amends Chapter 22,
entitled elections, to the city code, to incorporate campaign contribution and expenditure regulations into local law.
CALE machines The council will modify the rates and times for the parking space meters throughout the city. Back in 2012, the council agreed to set rates and include them in the city code. The ordinance on the table essentially read that the City Council shall establish enforcement rates and times through resolution. Currently, the city code reads that the Cale machine rates would be set at $1.50 per hour on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, starting the first Saturday in April or Good Friday, whichever is first, through the Sunday prior to Memorial Day weekend. The same rates are set for Friday of Memorial Day through Labor Day. Springfest, Car Cruising, Bike Week, and Sunfest are exempt from this rule, according to the current measure.

Council stands firm on fees Freeedmont Mortgage® Funding charged to Corvette event Wel elccoomes Matttt Sliiw waa too thhe teeam By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Despite Mayor Rick Meehan’s endorsement, the City Council stood its ground Monday night and denied a request to waive $1,190 in event fees for the Free State Corvette Weekend show. The Corvette Show will be celebrating its 30th year on Oct. 15, and is slated to draw 3,500 participants to the resort, according to city staff estimations. The council approved the show some time ago with one of the highest discounts on equipment and labor fees: 75 percent. That in turn lowered the cost from $3,060 to $765. But the Free State Corvette Club still had to pay $425 on top of that bill in private event fees. That separate charge could not be erased because of the resort’s policy on discounts that came into effect this year. “There was no discount there because the new prerequisite for nonprofits is that it needs to be located in Worcester County,” Special Events Coordinator Lisa Mitchell said. “Our concern was twofold: there was a discount already and there was a concern that this would set a precedent for other nonprofits.” OC Corvette Weekend Chairman Wyatt Greenwalt defended his organi-
zation’s request, citing its longstanding relationship with the town. “This year we’re having people come in from 19 different states. That says a lot about Ocean City. This brings new people in and it benefits the community as a whole,” he said. Meehan supported the request, claiming that the Corvette Show’s history spoke for itself. “I’m a believer you judge things on a case-by-case basis, and look at 30 years of being here in Ocean City. This is not a new event,” he said. “I see what you do with these funds and I see how dedicated they are to the charities they support. I think there’s exception for rules and I think 30 years should gain you that exception.” Some council members sympathized with Greenwalt’s plea, but agreed with the special events assessment that approving this one request would open the door to more in the future. “I don’t feel that I was elected to pick the charities that our taxpayer dollars go to,” councilman Wayne Hartman said. “I’m not saying your charities aren’t worthy.” However, the city did offer the Corvette Club a compromise in offering free parking passes at the Ocean City Inlet parking lot for its volunteers the day of the event. That motion passed unanimously.

SD Lady Seahawks clicking and working well together
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team shut out the Wi-Hi Lady Indians 7-0 on Tuesday in Berlin. “I had my starters focus on some goalscoring strategies that we’ve been working on a little bit in practice … They just hopefully can bring it into a faster-paced game next time,” said Decatur Coach Maggie Berke. “We are normally a little bit scattered so that was nice to see them keep the ball on the ground more.” The Lady Seahawks scored four goals in the first half and netted three in the second. The team had 36 shots on goal during the game. Six girls scored for Decatur. “My goal always as a coach is to get
as many girls as possible to score, so we kind of play that way once we get a lead,” Berke said. Freshman Gabby Izzett led the Berlin squad with two goals. Junior Hattie Brous chipped in with one goal and two assists. Seniors Mallory Vara and Brigitte Ardis and sophomores Mia Dill and Logan Townsend scored one goal each. Decatur senior goalie Rachel Florek was never challenged. The Seahawks will travel to Mardela Springs on Tuesday to face the Mardela Warriors at 4 p.m. “It took a little bit to catch our stride [this season], but the girls have finally clicked and they’re working well together and they have the same goals in mind,” Berke said.

Decatur golf team takes Bayside South title
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) The Stephen Decatur golf team won the final match of the regular season at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury on Tuesday to clench the Bayside Conference South title. “The team is very proud to have regained the Bayside South title … From top to bottom, the team played very well [Tuesday] in the wind,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “I was a little nervous going into this week with
our final regular-season match and the big Bayside championship because the players have a lot of distractions with homecoming events each day. However, they maintained their focus and went out and did their job.” Jim Krall Decatur scored a 154 to take top honors in the eight-school competition. The Seahawks were led by junior Matt
Kinsey who shot a 36. Senior captains Matt Kristick and Tanner Leonard carded 38 and 39, respectively. Brady Leonard, a freshman, tallied a 41. James M. Bennett came in second with a team score of 161, followed by Parkside’s foursome who recorded a 172. Decatur won seven matches during the regular season and placed second in three. As the top Bayside South team, the Seahawks earned a spot in yesterday’s conference championship against the Bayside North’s
No. 1 squad, Kent Island. The 18 Bayside Conference schools will compete in the District VIII tournament on the River Marsh Golf Course at the Hyatt Resort in Cambridge, Monday, beginning at noon. The state championship tournament is slated for Oct. 24-26 at the University of Maryland – College Park. “The postseason is the most thrilling part of the season … We seem to be firing on all cylinders right now, which is obviously the best time to peak,” Krall said.

WP records two shutouts this week
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) When the Worcester Prep and Salisbury School boys’ soccer teams battled last Wednesday in Salisbury, the visiting Mallards scored two goals in the final six minutes to win 2-0. Salisbury School traveled to Berlin on Monday to take on the Prep squad and the outcome was the same, but this time the Mallards were victorious 7-0. The difference between the two games was “precision shooting and sharing the ball,” Worcester Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “I thought we attacked with better urgency,” he continued. “We shared the ball faster, quality of crosses were good and our finishing chances were more precise. We weren’t shooting wildly.” Junior Tucker Brown put Worcester on the board one minute into the game. “Tucker really set the tone by scoring early. [Sophomore] Colin Miller dribbled between two defenders, slipped the ball
across and Tucker attacked the cross on the ground and put it in hard,” Underkoffler said. “It gave us a lot of momentum because last game we played them we didn’t score until six minutes left, and even in that game we had a lot of shots but they were wild. We won 2-0 and the second goal was a penalty kick.” Senior captain Patrick Petrera made it 2-0 with a minute remaining in the first half. Sophomore Henry Elangwe boosted Worcester’s advantage to 3-0 in the final seconds of the half. “At halftime, we said ‘play with urgency the whole half, go hard, go fast. That’s your game. Once you slow down you play into their hands of what they want to do,’” Underkoffler said. Senior Seth Lewis netted a shot one minute into the second half. Miller, Elangwe and sophomore Aiden Mullins also scored in the half. Worcester sophomore goalie Cooper Richins recorded four saves. “On Wednesday we were taking shots at a panic and they were going over the
top or wide…[Monday] they were really making the goalkeeper dive,” Underkoffler said. “That’s were I think the goals resulted, and the fact that they set each other up for those close-range shots, which is the kind of things we practice. “I thought they possessed really well,” he continued. “They possessed well last Wednesday but [Monday] they possessed with more of a purpose to score.” Worcester won this Wednesday’s game 2-0 over the Delmarva Christian Royals in Georgetown, Delaware. Senior Aria ZiaShakeri scored in the first half and senior captain Owen Nally in the second. Richins stopped three shots in his third consecutive shutout. “The boys played very well,” Underkoffler said. “Their possession game was sharp, playing one and two passing with combinations around the field. Their off-the-ball running really is starting to pick up.” Worcester will face the Salisbury Christian Jaguars today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Salisbury.

Salisbury Christian won the competition with a team score of 173. Worcester Prep scored a 183 and Salisbury School recorded a 225. “They all played well, but each player had one or two big holes that increased their scores,” said Prep Coach Scot Dailey. “We need to find a way to limit our mistakes. We’ve got to keep practicing and try and get better.” Junior Austin Taylor led Worcester with a 43. Freshman Colby Hook tallied a 45 and seniors Grant Brown and Zach Wilson carded 47 and 48, respectively. Worcester has two regular-season matches remaining before the Oct. 18 See WP Page 39

They looked good on their passing and shooting.” The visiting Lady Mallards scored
six goals in the first half and two in the second. Sophomore Hailee Arrington was Worcester’s top producer with three goals and an assist. Senior captain Regan Lingo chipped in with two goals and two assists. Senior Macayla Costleigh and freshmen Hana Miller and Rylie Carey scored one goal apiece. Senior captain Leigh Lingo and senior Ava Schwartz had two assists each. Freshman goalie Aly Matha recorded one save. “We have our two most difficult

Decatur boys and girls XC take first, WP third
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ cross country team won Monday’s meet in Easton by 38 points, while the Lady Seahawks squeaked out a first-place finish by five. “We had a tough time running last week with the weather, so I was just happy to have a chance to run and that the weather was cooperating,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. Decatur’s boys’ squad scored 28 points to take top honors. Easton came in second with 66, followed by Worcester Prep (78), Kent County (83) and Wicomico (126). Senior Cameron James led Decatur. He crossed the finish line second overall, completing the race in 18:33. Junior Jack Reimer was close behind, finishing third overall with a time of 18:40. Seniors Jared Massey (fifth, 18:57), Javier Hernandez (seventh, 19:29) and Ethan Janson (11th, 21:09) also contributed to the victory. “The boys did pretty well,” Stigler said. “We are looking to still shore up those five through seven places and looking for some runners to really dis-
tinguish themselves from the pack.” Worcester Prep, of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, joined the Bayside Conference schools for the event. Senior Carter Hill led the pack of nearly 70 runners competing in the boys’ race. He finished in 18:21. “Carter Hill got turned around and ended up running an extra .1 or .2 miles and still won by a good margin,” said Prep Coach Keith Geiger. “I am just continually impressed with Carter. He’s 3-for-3 this year with first-place fin- Jody Stigler ishes.” Also scoring points for Worcester were senior Trent Marshall (10th, 20:39), sophomore Jack Walinskas (19th, 22:00), junior Connor Cebula (25th, 22:22) and freshman Andrew Stickler (31st, 23:13). “We had a few people missing for various reasons, and I was very impressed with those that stepped up and took the opportunity to move up,” Geiger said. “Andrew Stickler, [sophomore] Parker Brandt [33rd, 23:20] and [freshman]
Enzo Zechiel [34th, 23:27] are all newcomers to cross country and they just keep improving every meet. Andrew Stickler finished in fifth for our team, which was great for him personally.” The Decatur girls’ team tallied 31 points. Easton placed second with 36 points and Worcester Prep scored 65 to finish third. Senior Peyton Dunham was Decatur’s top finisher. She completed the race in 24:38, which was good for third place overall. Junior Laila Mirza was Keith Geiger the Seahawks’ next finisher. She took fourth overall (25:02). Junior Lily Belle Baker (25:41) and sophomores Isabella Bartholomew (25:55) and Dori Krasner (26:06) crossed the finish line seventh, eighth and ninth overall, respectively. “I thought we did pretty well. We were missing some girls so I thought the other runners stepped up and ran
pretty well,” Stigler said. Junior Annemarie Cherry led Worcester’s Lady Mallards. She took fifth overall (25:16). “Annemarie Cherry is starting to get back to where she was last year,” Geiger said. “I think she ran her best so far this year. The fifth-place finish is very impressive with such tough competition. The Stephen Decatur and Easton girls are very good, so it’s nice to see her finish in the top five.” Freshmen Ashley Laws (16th, 29:03) and Maddy Shanahan (17th, 29:13) and juniors Marissa Grosso (20th, 30:26) and Olivia Parker (24th, 32:44) also contributed to Worcester’s third-place finish. “Maddy Shanahan ran her best race too. She keeps getting better and better and that’s encouraging,” Geiger said. “There are several freshmen girls on the team and as the season goes on, they will be more and more comfortable with the meets and the atmosphere, and should continue to get better.”
Worcester Prep girls’ soccer squad edges out Salis., 1-0
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) One goal was enough for the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team to come away with a victory over the Salisbury School Dragons on Monday in Salisbury. “It was like there was an invisible force around the goal. We took 31 shots and they had seven the whole game,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. “We were off. That’s all.” Worcester was also playing without several starters who were missing due to
illness or college visits. Midway into the second half, sophomore Delaney Abercrombie crossed the ball and freshman Messa Cammack headed it into the goal. “She was serving the ball great the whole game. There was just no one to finish it,” Hartnett said of Abercrombie, who had been sidelined for three weeks with a knee injury. “We had a lot of opportunities, we just couldn’t put the ball in the net,” Hartnett said. “Sometimes you have See WP Page 41

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 7, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team shut out the North Caroline Bulldogs 4-0 on Monday in Ridgely, then tied the James M. Bennett Clippers 1-1 two days later in Salisbury. Sophomore Kevin Beck scored midway into the game on Monday to put Decatur up 1-0. Senior Wyatt Church tallied a goal six minutes later. Sophomore Brady Ford made it 3-0 with 11:50 remaining in the first half. Senior Andy McKahan netted the Seahawks’ final goal about 10 minutes into the second half. Decatur goalie Noah Shockley, a senior, recorded six saves. “We started a little bit slow, but overall I thought we played well,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “The game was physical, aggressive, and I was pleased with the way we handled ourselves and played through it.” Greenwood said he thought the Seahawks also moved off the ball well. “We possessed the ball and moved it well. It’s the simple stuff, just the easy passes,” he said. “We scored three goals in eight minutes. We were building up to that…[Monday] was a good step in the right direction. We have all the pieces, we just need to implement things how they need to be done.” On Wednesday, Decatur traveled to Salisbury to battle Bennett. Beck provided the visiting Seahawks with a 1-0 lead six minutes before halftime. The Clippers evened the score with 10 minutes remaining in the contest. After two 10-minute overtime periods, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Shockley stopped six Bennett shots. “We had some opportunities during the game.

Cool deals on hot meals during OC’s Restaurant Week
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Restaurant Week returns to the resort beginning Sunday, Oct. 9 and continuing through Oct. 23 offering awesome deals and specials on already low off-season prices. Ocean City’s fall Restaurant Week has a variety of specials at different rates with at least 20 restaurants participating in the resort. “We focus on great deals rather than price points, although some restaurants do,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “There are great deals on great food. Many restaurants already have specials going on into the fall.” To celebrate Shore Craft Beer Month in Ocean City, Greene Turtle on 116th Street and Seacrets on 49th Street have recommended craft beer pairings for each of its Restaurant Week offerings. The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw diners through the doors when business is slower and gives chefs an opportunity to cre-

“It is a time to try something I haven’t done, create new dishes and have fun with it.” Horizons will be offering two courses for $30 or three for $35 including a choice of starters such as mango avocado salsa with house See CHEFS Page 46
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Due to changes enacted by the Maryland legislation earlier this year, significant changes have occurred to Agency Law in Maryland real estate as of Oct. 1, that will affect how Realtors conduct their business and how they interact with clients and non-clients. There are three main changes to Agency Law. The first change allows Realtors to only provide the Agency disclosure form to unrepresented parties. Example: If you are a buyer’s agent, and you are showing a home to your buyer, and you run into the seller on his/her way out, you don’t have to disclose anything because the seller is represented by the list agent. However, if the property is a For Sale by Owner, then you would have to disclose to the unrepresented seller that you represent the buyer, so the seller would have to sign the Agency disclosure form. Secondly, during open houses, the seller’s agent may now conspicuously display a new notice/sign that explains to all prospective buyers that the agent conducting the open house represents the seller. In the past, seller agents were required to have everyone attending an open house to sign the Agency disclosure form. The third change to the law eliminates Presumed Buyer Agency. Now, all buyer representation must be pursuant to a written buyer agency agreement. In the past, there were two types of buyer agents: a presumed buyer agent and a buyer agent. A presumed buyer agent was not required to enter into a written buyer agency agreement until the buyer was prepared to make an offer. So, with the new law in effect, all buyer representation must be in writing for an agent to represent the buyer. The new law also mandates a “subagent” must meet the following criteria: • Is not affiliated with or acting as the listing agent • Is not a buyer’s agent • Has an agency relationship with the seller • May assist a buyer in a nonagency capacity — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Realtor/Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Chefs have opportunity to create unique dishes Continued from Page 45 cooked tortilla chips and jumbo lump crab, or sliced beef crostini with caramelized onions, bleu cheese and tomatoes. “Restaurant Week is an opportunity to showcase how different flavors can mesh together such as sweet and savory,” Laumann said. Entrée options include a 12-ounce Delmonico steak grilled and topped with a bleu cheese butter or a broiled halibut over wilted spinach with tomato beurre blanc. Desserts will be a pumpkin lust cake or mini waffle sundae. “Something fun is our mini waffle sundae for dessert while the sliced beef tenderloin on the appetizer menu is a more serious showcase of talents,” Laumann said. “Some people don’t have an appetizer, entrée and dessert when they go out to din-
ner and this gives them the opportunity to do that.” Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant has participated in Restaurant Week since its inception. “Restaurant Week is definitely a good deal and gives customers the opportunity to experience more,” Laumann said. “It is a chance to experiment with foods you wouldn’t normally try or haven’t heard of before. Restaurants feature items they do not normally have on their regular menus.” General Manager Lauren Taylor, of Captain’s Table on 15th Street inside the Marriott Courtyard, agrees. “It has very good price points and customers have the opportunity to try new restaurants,” Taylor said. “It is great to see people enjoying the variety and fun to check out newly featured entrées at your favorite
restaurants.” Captain’s Table has participated in Restaurant Week since its inception and as of press time had not finalized their menu. “Some like to check out restaurants they are curious about with friends to taste and compare,” Taylor said. “Restaurants feature different or new items they usually do not have on their regular menu.” Bourbon Street on the Beach on 116th Street will be offering three courses for $30 or four courses for $35 including appetizers, salads, soups, entrées and desserts. “You’re getting $55 worth of food for $30,” said owner Barry Reichart. “The Bourbon Street steak is $30 on our regular menu, the crab stuffed mushrooms are another $13, our bread pudding is $8 and soups are $5.”

Look forward to starters cooked from scratch including chargrilled oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, tomato and mozzarella with balsamic reduction, crab and spinach dip with garlic bread, oysters on the half shell, homemade mozzarella sticks, crab stuffed mushrooms and crawfish pie. Entrées include prime rib, Bourbon Street steak, lobster ravioli with crab Alfredo, jambalaya, Chesapeake chicken with lump crab, a broiled seafood sampler, shrimp and crawfish etouffée, a Cajun tuna taco with fresh salsa and nachos, an almond crusted chicken with bing cherry sauce and crab and crawfish macaroni and cheese. “The crab and crawfish macaroni and cheese is this year’s chargrilled oysters,” Reichart said. “It has taken off big time and people keep coming in and asking for it. It’s pretty cool.” Reichart also praises the Cajun tuna taco with fresh salsa and nachos. “The Cajun tuna taco is amazing with blackened tuna, medium rare, topped with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese and our spicy plum sauce with a pepper slaw,” Reichart said. “It’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth and was a huge hit this summer.” For dessert, bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream, peanut butter pie, a fried Oreo sundae, banana split cheesecake and bananas foster are all options. Bourbon Street on the Beach prides itself on featuring dishes rarely found in Ocean City restaurants and has participated in Restaurant Week since it first opened a few years ago. “We are offering an oyster stew and crawfish pie,” Reichart said. “It is a unique menu to take advantage of and we are trying to change it up for our regular customers. Getting people to try something different and steer them towards something they have never had. You turn them on to something new and that’s what I enjoy. Making people happy.” Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week back from a travel summit on the western shore in 2007, she said. “Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity for a date night where you can go out on a budget and gives people an excuse to dine out,” Jones said. “It’s special because it incorporates the whole community and generates business not only for the restaurants, but for the bartenders and servers also reaping the benefits.” Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. Participating restaurants will still have their regular, full-price menus available during the special. “From a diner’s perspective there are some tasty options to try,” Jones said.

Endless Summer Cruisin’ takes over OC this weekend
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Close to 2,500 hot rods, classic cars and customized vehicles will be driven down Coastal Highway and around town this weekend during Ocean City’s 19th annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event. Festivities began yesterday, Thursday, and will continue through Sunday at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street and downtown at the inlet parking lot. Organizers are expecting more than 50,000 spectators throughout the four-day event as people travel from all over the East Coast to enjoy the festivities. “This is one of the largest automotive events in the mid-Atlantic region for the fall season,” said event promoter Meredith Herbert. “Ocean City is a great drive-to-destination for a car show and the inlet makes for a great location with the beautiful beach on one side and the classic Boardwalk on the other. The Cruisin’ format, where cars cruise from one location to the next, tops the list as to

what makes this event so special.” Endless Summer Cruisin’ kicked off with a car parade on the Boardwalk from North Division Street to the inlet Thursday morning. Spectators can catch two additional car parades Friday and Saturday at 8 a.m. with the same route. “The Boardwalk parades are a great way to start the day as spectators can sit back and relax while watching cars cruise down the classic boards,” Herbert said. “There is something for everyone [at Cruisin’.]”
Highlights of the weekend include an appearance from Automotive Designer Dave Kindig, of “Bitchin’ Rides” who will be at the inlet on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The custom car builder will be on hand to sign autographs, pose for pictures and talk about his love for cars. In addition, legendary custom car builder Gene Winfield, who specializes in creating movie cars, will be meeting fans at the inlet on Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday See ENDLESS Page 50

Jammin’ Out Cancer party at Seacrets Oct. 7 benefits ACS
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Jammin’ Out Cancer festivities are slated to take place tonight from 5-9 p.m. inside Morley Hall at Seacrets on 49th Street, which is one of several events that make up the Ocean City Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach Series, an assortment of local activities taking place to raise breast cancer awareness and garner money for the American Cancer Society. For $25 at the door, attendees will receive a free glass of house wine or domestic draft beer, food from more than a dozen local restaurants, hear live music from Blind Wind, Days Gone By and Greg White, along with DJ Wax taking over between sets. In addition, there will be a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle. “There are several fundraisers throughout October to raise awareness for breast cancer,” said Amy Katz, Jammin’ organizer. “This is the only event not geared to a sporting event. You just come and enjoy good food and music.” A taste of Ocean City will include dishes and treats from more than a dozen local restaurants including Tequila Mockingbird, Mug & Mallet, Duffy’s, Ky West, Johnny’s Pizza, Greene Turtle, Mancini’s, Smitty McGee’s, Southside Deli, Crab Bag,
Wockenfuss and BJ’s on the Water. All three bands and musicians are local with music ranging from classic rock to folk and pop, Katz said. “Blind Wind is an amazing local duo fronted by 14-year-old Cole [Moran], a blind harmonica player with his dad, Frankie, backing him up with guitar and vocals,” Katz said. “Greg White and Days Gone by will also play. [They are] seasoned local musicians that continue to share their love of music through classic rock and are always fun to hear.” There will be a silent auction featuring items from local businesses and restaurants such as surf gear from Chauncey’s Surf Shop, dental care items from Atlantic Dental and home décor from Bethany Resort Furnishings. Other items up for auction include gift certificates from local restaurants and businesses in addition to the famous “Wagon of Cheer” filled with supplies to stock a bar. Guests can also participate in a 50/50 raffle. Tickets cost $5 each or get six for $20. “Jammin’ is one of several local events that raises funds for breast cancer awareness and research,” Katz said. “All funds raised go directly to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer division. With 100 percent of the profits being

Last year, about 150 people attended Jammin’ Out Cancer, raising more than $10,000 for breast cancer research and programs, she said. “Cancer is something everyone is touched by, whether it is personal or through someone close,” Katz said. “This is an easy way for everyone to get involved through time, talent or donations and be a part of something larger
than ourselves. I believe we all share the same goal of finding the cure and finishing the fight.” Purchase tickets in advance for $20 by emailing Katz at amy-katz@hotmail.com by today, Oct. 7, at noon. The cost at the door is $25. “Being part of this event and helping to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, has been truly rewarding through the years,” Katz said.
Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament planned for Oct. 14 at OCGC
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) To raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research, local events continue with the 19th annual Pink Ribbon Golf Classic, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 14, at the Ocean City Golf Club in Berlin. The ladies-only golf tournament costs $100 per person for 18 holes or $75 for nine holes and includes a continental breakfast, an awards luncheon, a golf cart and an official tournament gift bag. In addition,
there will be Chinese and silent auctions. The registration deadline is Monday, Oct. 10. “This event is so special because it demonstrates women coming together to celebrate surviving and remembering our friends and family members who lost their lives, and fighting back to raise money to fund programs and research,” said event promoter Judy Kight. Last year, 120 women competed in the golf classic, raising $13,000 for See GOLFERS Page 60

Golfers can play 18 or nine holes during Oct. 14 event Continued from Page 59 the American Cancer Society. Organizers expect more than 100 golfers this year. The Pink Ribbon Golf Classic is a scramble format tournament with three 18-hole divisions based on handicap as well as two fun, noncompeting divisions with nine- and 18-hole options. There will be prizes including rounds of golf at local courses for the longest drive, closestto-the-pin contest and all division winners. The 18-hole competition will kick off at 9 a.m. The nine-hole event will get started at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Ocean City Golf Club. Check-ins will begin at 8 a.m. for 18 holes and 10:30 a.m. for nine holes. The continental breakfast and lunch will be provided by local restaurants. A variety of gift baskets will be up for grabs in the Chinese auction, and golf packages, golf lessons, rounds of golf and gift certificates to local restaurants will be included in the silent auction. Hole sponsorships and dedication flags can be purchased in honor or
memory of loved ones who have battled breast cancer. “We believe that, my friend’s battle is my battle,” Kight said. “Maryland and Delaware are in the highest category for breast cancer incidence. Twelve percent of American women will be diagnosed during their lifetime and 40,000 will die this year.” The Eastern Shore Chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association sponsors the golf event. The tournament is one of several events that make up the Ocean City Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach Series, an assortment of local activities taking place to raise breast cancer awareness and garner money for the American Cancer Society. “For the past 19 years, under the leadership of Nancy Dofflemyer, the Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament has been held with over $100,000 being raised to fund lifesaving research,” Kight said.

Cheesy crab pretzel recipe easy to prepare By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 7, 2016) Time remembers every moment if one is willing to listen. Glimpses of the past become a reality for a brief moment and I become one with myself. Fiftyeight years is a long time and momentous occasions still stand out which is an accomplishment for my forgetful mind. As I stroll down the daily path of actuality, minute remembrances can mushroom in a split second and recollections leave me in a selection of intention. I have always strived for achievement and it has taken me a long time to realize attainment is not always measured in money and good fortune. I understand some may disagree; total compliance forfeits our right for individualism and promotes independence. Flashbacks bridge the past with the future. The present is a culmination of choices and is embellished with chance. Destiny is a progression of challenges that never cease to end. Do not be disheartened if failure combines with reality. Everyone is privy to this experience; the key is
how one responds to a given set of circumstances. The possibilities of cooking coincides with the tempo of “life.” Everything is relative and must signify uniqueness. Whether one is a restaurateur, caterer, private chef, or home cook, you must never lose sight of who you are and respect the bounties of the earth. There is a time and place for traditionalism but the arena of distinctiveness must simmer until fully incorporated. Competing against yourself pushes one to another level. There is no such thing as absolute perfection, but the continued pursuit is what counts. Cheesy crab pretzels are a straightforward dish. However, if one wants to advance their culinary skills, start from scratch. Following is a cheesy crab pretzel recipe that is uncomplicated and time friendly. Trust me, these loaded babies are sure to be a hit. If one wants to raise the bar of progression, a recipe for homemade soft pretzels courtesy of Alton Brown has been provided. Enjoy!

Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope, holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the parchment-lined half sheet pan. 5. Place the pretzels into boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return to the half sheet pan, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. Makes 8 Homemade Soft Pretzels

feature a group show of abstractthemed art. The public is invited to the free opening reception at the Arts Center on First Friday, Oct. 7, from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and enjoy complementary hors d’oeuvres. The shows will run through Oct. 29. Fitzgerald, who teaches at Salisbury University and holds a double degree in painting and drawing, designs, renders and paints on wood. His work is a satiric comment on what people wear and how they adorn their bodies. “I’m kind of poking fun at ourselves,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m making fun of fashion specifically, but putting it in the lens of animals dressing up and how stupid they look. Then in turn, think about how we might look — all the stuff we put on ourselves.” Pla, an award-winning artist from Dagsboro, Delaware, attempts to converse with the viewer through his surreal paintings and provoke thought and meditation. “I am fascinated by the idea that the viewer can be forced to acknowledge this relationship with a painting,” Pla said. “In my surreal works, I attempt to capture this by arranging non-relative objects to create new relationships … Dreams play a large part of where my ideas originate.” Wildlife portrait artist Paul Treadway of Millsboro, Delaware, occupies Studio E in October. Working mostly in pencil, he realistically renders the Eastern Shore’s wildlife and shorelife, and has illustrated two children’s books. This summer, he ran a small Western art gallery at Frontier Town. Maria Gayhart is October’s Spotlight Artist.

Commentary
A no-contest election for OC looks likely
The upcoming Ocean City municipal election is interesting from the standpoint that it’s looking as if there won’t be one, at least beyond people casting ballots as thank-you cards of sorts to the incumbents. For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, not one challenger has filed to run for either mayor or one of the four council seats that are available. Normally, two or three people would have signed up weeks ago and the political machinations would have begun. But not this time, which leads us to wonder why that is. The incumbents, who declared their candidacies not long after the first of the year, will tell you it’s because they have done such a good job that no one wants to oppose them. Some of them might be right, but even the best of council members in the past saw plenty of others willing to take them on, indicating that there could be more to this than the incumbents simply having done a good job. What is notable is the absence of community-splitting controversies in the past couple of years and no major policy matters awaiting post-election decisions. There just hasn’t been that much going on locally to stir up the public, what with the economy having picked up, taxes remaining stable and no real or imagined chicanery to employ as a rallying cry. That’s all good, but there also is the possibility that people either don’t care or just don’t want the hassle of running and, possibly, serving. We would prefer to think that the public is satisfied with the way things have been going, as opposed to the latter circumstance, as a public that doesn’t particularly care one way or the other about its government also is not concerned with the community’s overall well-being.

Letters to the editor Blues on the Bay a big success
Editor, Coastal Hospice wishes to thank everyone who made this year’s Blues on the Bay a big success. Our largest crowd ever — more than 230 supporters — attended the event on Sept. 21 at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill and raised nearly $37,000 for the capital campaign to create Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. The night of the event, we received more than $20,000 in donations, including $10,000 from the Irish American Club. Thank you. Blues on the Bay 2016 put us one step closer toward our goal of building Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. We have now raised $4.3 million toward our $5 million goal. Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a new hospice residence and community outreach center, home for terminally ill patients, as well as a base for palliative care, counseling, grief support and community wellness programs. We would also like to express our gratitude to Macky and Pam Stansell, who continue to 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
Coastal Hospice at the Ocean residence. Alane K. Capen President, Coastal Hospice

We also want to apologize for spelling his name incorrectly on our advertising brochures and in the local newspapers.

Celebrity opinions shouldn’t matter
Editor, It is and has been apparent to me over the past 70 years or so that the celebrity world is far different from the everyday, ordinary life 90 percent of us lead each and every day. I make no opinions or comments on their lifestyles and/or their outlook on life in general. I just say it is different, and comparisons should be self-evident. I wonder, therefore, when our lifestyle and our core be-
liefs are so different, that we pay so much attention to what these celebrities think, say or do? It’s a different world guys, and what these people think, say or do matters not a whit to us. That’s what shocks me, when one of these people decides not to stand at the playing of our National Anthem and the whole of America goes berserk! Who the hell cares? All of our news media is quick to defend with, “He has a right to say what he thinks.” Well, of course he does; what I don’t agree with is that I have to care or that it will change my life. I love my sports, but what I don’t understand is why more of us don’t recognize celebrity and the show business in sports. These athletes fill paid seats to watch them and the game … is that not what other celebrities do, no matter their specialty? The opinions of these athletes mean naught to me and they shouldn’t to you either; so what’s the big deal when one of them refuses to identify himself with patriotism and love of his country? If they are not intelligent enough to know there is no other place on earth they could achieve what they have here in the U.S. of A, it’s their problem to deal with, not ours. It changes his life a lot more Continued on Page 86

You can live forever
By Stewart Dobson Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the U.S., according to the federal government, which blames eating fatty foods, lack of exercise and, of course, smoking for this problem. This shows you just how stupid I am, since all this time I thought the leading cause of mortality was getting old. But apparently not, since medical research companies and their rapacious pill peddling associates, along with the government, suggest that if we were to eliminate heart disease, a good percentage of the population would not die, ever. Yessir, we’d be still be pushing swings for the great-great-grandchildren and swigging protein drinks like they were margaritas well into our hundreds and long after we grew weary of dragging around pants legclutching munchkins as they scream, “Push me, push me, great-greatgranddad!” Sure, that sounds cute and you might get all wistful about it now, but tell me how much you like it when you know it’s never, ever going to end. “I’m 135 years old now, Tommy, and I’m getting a little grumpy. All I really want to do is eat a pound of ribeye fat and smoke about two packs of
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 85 than it does one of ours, so let him wallow in the mud while we bask in our patriotism and love of our country. So I say to him and others like him, “See ya, and don’t look for me in one of your paid seats.” Frank Vetare Berlin
Gift collection effort for active duty military
Editor, Welcome in the month of October, when volunteers will be collecting holiday gifts for our soldiers overseas. It was started 13 years ago by my husband, Carl, who served in China, Burma and India in World War II. He remembered how much of the small comforts of home they had to be without. Personal products not received from home were very difficult to get. The worst part was trying to get toilet paper and it worried Carl, who wanted to help. In November 2003, Carl organized “Holiday Gifts of Our Soldiers,” placing black containers at libraries and veterans’ posts around our area. During the month of November 2003, Linda Dearing, owner of Copy Central, volunteered to help. Realizing Carl’s costs were high, she offered to package and box all the items we collected and mailed. Carl realized this program became bigger every year, and was very successful and costly. In 2006 Carl contacted the American Legion Post 166 in Ocean City, Maryland asking for their help
cowboy killers. So buzz off.” Of course, there's always the governmentally recognized second-leading cause of death and the third-leading cause to look forward to, but I'm sure science eventually will catch up with these as well, and we’ll all go on for eternity. When you think about it, that would not be a big bowl of cherries either. Imagine 107 years of marital bickering about the TV remote and get back to me. And then there’s the whole issue of lifetime warranties and what recourse you might have when the blender goes south before you do. “But it says right on the box, ma’am, ‘guaranteed for life.’ Well, I’m still alive aren’t I? I want my money back!” All this assumes that we can afford the prescription drugs that keep us functioning, which is looking more unlikely every day, and that we haven’t been reduced by time and gravity to a fully cognizant but boneless Play-Doh-like ball that has to be carried around in a bucket. “Did you take great-great granddad out for his walk today?” “I lost him.” “What?” “All I can say is I put him down for a minute and someone kicked the bucket.”
with “Holiday Gifts for our Soldier’s Overseas.” Their continuing support is greatly appreciated. Starting Tuesday, Oct. 1, black containers will be placed at the libraries in Ocean Pines, Berlin and Ocean City, and will also be placed at the Ocean Pines Community Center, American Legion Post 166 in Ocean City and the VFW in Ocean City. Some suggested items are powdered drinks like Crystal Light, tea, coffee and Gatorade, also chewing gum, canned fruits and nuts, sunglasses, suntan lotion, Slim Jims, beef jerky, board games, playing cards, small paperback books, cotton socks, also daily toiletries for men and women including toilet tissues, dark hand towels, washcloths and foot powder. Please, no liquids or perishable items such as cookies or glass. This ongoing, successful program lets our heroes who serve our country receive something from home and know that we support them. Any donations will be appreciated. Make checks payable to “Holiday Gifts for our Soldiers” and mail to Star Charities, c/o Anna Foultz, 127 High Sheriff Trail, Ocean Pines, Maryland 21811. The containers will be collected on Oct. 30 by the National Guard. For more information, please call Teresa Travatello, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, at 410-6417717, Ext. 3006 or Anna Foultz, President of Star Charities, “All Volunteers in Action,” at 410-641-7667.
