Residents want answers on ‘H2Oi’ Gehrig apologizes to crowd for what he says is council failure to take more action By Josh Kim Staff Writer “Somebody is going to die,” several residents and an Ocean City councilman said Monday of what might happen should there ever be a repeat of the havoc-causing modified car rally in the resort two weekends ago. How to prevent that from happening, however, remains undetermined at Monday night’s council meeting, where a roomful of angry residents as well as participants in the unsanctioned modified car event held forth during the public comments portion of the session.
Although the discussion was not on the agenda, the event, known colloquially, if erroneously, as H2Oi was clearly on audience members’ minds. “To quote E. Stanley Jones,” said Wilmington, Delaware resident Nigel James, a defender of the loosely organized car rally, “‘A rattlesnake, if cornered, will become so angry it will bite itself.’” James said the city should not attempt to push participants away with harsher penalties, but should reach out to the group, collaborate on creating a sanctioned event and profit from it. “I take offense when you say that we are not open to this group,” resort resident and business owner Michelle Knopp countered, “because we are open to all of the groups [who] come here.”
“I know they’re here to have a good time, but they also seem to come to cause problems. They seem to hate the Ocean City police … when you pull into town and you have a F*** the Ocean City Police Department [sign], that doesn’t go over well.” Knopp went on to list a variety of events, including last month’s Bike Fest, that caused no issues despite heavy attendance. “I would like an answer from you all [City Council] … and it might be to accept them … but right now I feel like we’re 10 steps behind, and they are always 10 steps in front of us,” Knopp said. Several other residents echoed the possibility of working with participants, however, one resident pointed See MARTIN Page 5
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The local edition of Chairman Dr. William “Brit” Kirwan’s pitch for state education reform continued Tuesday evening during a forum at Wor-Wic Community College. The Kirwan Commission, more formally known as the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, is ‘Until we have a tasked with alloclearer picture cating billions of from the state on dollars to rehow funding for vamp the education system in the commission will be allocated, Maryland.

Worcester County Public Schools Superintendent Lou Taylor said after the forum that while he liked what Kirwan said, he’s reserving judgment until the county-by-county breakdowns are released. “Because of the state’s current funding formula, our county and our school system receive only a nominal level of funding from the state, despite the over 42 percent of students’ families living under the poverty line,” Taylor said. “Until we have a clearer picture from the state on how funding for the See COUNTY Page 3

County officials wait for reveal of funding formula Continued from Page 1 commission will be allocated, I will remain concerned about how these findings will impact our school system.” Worcester County Commissioner Chip Bertino agreed. “So until that’s made public, until we’ve had an opportunity to crunch the numbers on the county level, it’s very difficult to have an opinion that we should be for this,” said Bertino, who also attended the forum. Worcester County receives less state funding than most other counties because it has one of the largest property tax bases per capita in the state. When asked about how the agency might address the lack of adequate state funding in Worcester County despite the area’s wealth disparity, Kirwan said it’s important for children to be supported. “The commission’s been very alarmed at the inequity in funding,” Kirwan said. The excellence in education legislation that resulted in the Kirwan Commission includes proposals for free preschool for 3-and-4-year-olds living at 300 percent below the property level, higher salaries for teachers, college and career readiness standards, vocational education, and allocated funding for counties, according to a February 2019 interim report. When asked about taking an “all or nothing approach” to implementing these guidelines, Kirwan said that would be ideal. “Let’s suppose we did all this stuff on preschool, but we don’t do anything about making teaching a high-status profession,” Kirwan said. He added later, “So, OK, more kids come to kindergarten ready to learn, but they

don’t have the enriched academic environment once they get to the school. “We’re making a set of policy recommendations, the [Maryland] General Assembly will, in its own wisdom, I am confident make some adjustments in what we said, but I hope to goodness that the principles and the full package are kept together,” Kirwan said. Sen. Mary Beth Carozza (R-38), a member of the Kirwan Commission, sees it differently. “I do not accept the all-or-nothing approach to the Kirwan recommendations,” Carozza told Ocean City Today. “I believe that my constituents will hold the members of the commission and their elected officials accountable on prioritization and what is affordable. “The question is how do we do that in a way we can afford it over what timeframe?” Carozza said. Kirwan did allow that members of the commission might need to “take a pause” and reassess the priorities depending on the economic climate. The package is expected to cost $3.8 billion and would be phased in over a 10-year period. The commission has 25 members, with no representatives of the Eastern Shore on the funding formula workgroup.

Martin invites ideas from citizens Continued from Page 1 out a flaw in that approach. “Who do you talk to? It’s an unofficial event,” resident Martin Branagan asked. He also pointed out a flaw in another popular idea, speed bumps. He said the city would have to put in speed bumps for every vehicle event, otherwise the modified car enthusiasts would simply change dates and disrupt sanctioned events. “Something has to be done,” Branagan said. “I said last year that this
event was getting to the point that somebody is going to die. I have no doubt about it now.” There were also criticisms over the council’s decision to have a closed session on Tuesday to discuss preventative measures. Council President Lloyd Martin said the session would remain closed, although everything the public had said would be considered, and he urged residents and visitors to continue contacting fellow council members and the mayor with suggestions.
“We all live here with you, and we know what you’re feeling, and we’re trying to understand where they are coming from as well,” Martin said. Councilman John Gehrig took responsibility for what he deemed as a lack of action on the council’s part. “This is not new, this is 10 years old, and it has been creeping and creeping,” Gehrig said. “So I’m going to personally apologize. We [City Council] have done very little, frankly… and you should hold us all accountable … Lets solve the problem.”

By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Ocean City residents will see another round of Special Event Zone speed limits and fines this weekend, as the resort readies itself for thousands of participants for the Endless Summer Cruisin’ event. City officials and the Ocean City Police Department said they will be monitoring online reports for the potential return of modified car enthusiasts, unrelated to the Cruisin’ event, who caused havoc in the resort two weekends ago. “With thousands of car enthusiasts expected in the resort community this week, Ocean City will be designated a Special Event Zone beginning Wednesday, Oct. 9 through Sunday, Oct. 13, during the Endless Summer
Cruisin’ event,” Ocean City Police Department Spokeswoman Ashley Miller said. The Cruisin’ event, purportedly one of the largest car shows of its kind on the East Coast, will take place from Oct. 10-13 at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street, inlet parking lot and other designated areas. Miller said along with the Special Event Zone, OCPD and allied agencies would once again be at maximum deployment to ensure the event runs smoothly and safely. The Special Event Zone was one of many suggestions for change that came out of the Motor Event Task Force, Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters said. Its purpose was to deter traffic violations in the city by giving police an effective enforcement tool for violations. While there was room for improvement, Waters said the city believed the Special Event Zone was an
effective method of deterring potential violations. She did say, however, that the city would like to see additional violations fall under the Special Event Zone umbrella. Waters also said city officials and the police were aware of online reports of modified car enthusiasts returning to Ocean City, and were preparing its resources accordingly. “Spectators are urged to keep the sidewalks clear for pedestrian traffic,” Miller said. “Pedestrians are urged to “Walk Smart!” and always use crosswalks when crossing roadways.”

By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Ocean City government will continue its partnership with the local law firm of Ayres, Jenkins, Gordy and Almand and has selected it to fill the “Office of City Solicitor” role, with Heather Stansbury, a partner in the firm, as the main point of contact. “The law firm of Ayres, Jenkins, Gordy and Almand is humbled and flattered that you have confidence in us to continue serving as the Town of Ocean City’s legal counsel in the footsteps of our beloved partner, Guy Ayres,” the law firm said in a letter to the council. Former City Solicitor Guy R. Ayres III, who had served as the city’s legal counsel since 1982, passed away in his Ocean City home on Saturday, Aug. 31. Ayres is frequently referred to as the “Father” of the city’s codebook, as he either wrote or rewrote much of the code. He also helped transform Ocean City’s government from one headed by a powerful mayor to the city council/city manager form of government. During his service, Ayres was recognized as the singular city solicitor. However, toward the end of his career, the firm began using a more collaborative approach, Stansbury said, which it has now formally adopted. While Stansbury will serve as the primary point of contact between the city and the law firm, she will work in conjunction with a team of associates. Bruce Bright will handle the city’s litigation, and work with city Risk
Manager Eric Lagstrom on matters in that realm. Other attorneys in the firm, including Jim Almand, Mark Cropper and Will Esham, will work with Stansbury and Bright on specific issues and projects. Victoria O’Neill and Ryan Bodley, associates with the firm, will offer aid for general legal work and for research.
‘We are humbled and honored to continue in this role, and to try and step into the shoes of Guy Ayres.’ Heather Stansbury, partner with the firm, Ayres, Jenkins, Gordy and Almand The billing rate for the firm’s services will remain at $175 per hour, as it was for Ayres. The firm will not, however, ask for financial benefits provided to Ayres, such as cell phone services and reimbursement and/or payment of certain health insurance premiums. Stansbury was born and raised in Baltimore, attended Towson University and graduated cum laude in 2001. “I was going to college and I took a job as a secretary at a law firm, and that quickly gave me the idea of going to law school,” she said. She obtained her J.D. at the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2004. After she graduated, Stansbury clerked for Chief Judge Joseph F. Mur-
phy of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. In 2005, she relocated to Ocean City, and joined Ayres, Jenkins, Gordy & Almand, as an associate and became a principal in 2012. Although Stansbury’s practice generally involves family and criminal law, she is also well-versed in education law, trusts and estates, civil litigation, landlord/tenant matters. “I really love my job,” Stansbury said. “Every day is something different, and I like to think that every day I’ve done something good for someone.” Stansbury has served as the attorney for the Board of Zoning and Appeals and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals since 2009. She also often acted as “substitute attorney” for Ayres over the last nine years. Her legal expertise extends beyond Ocean City into Worcester County, and includes work as a member of the Trial Courts Judicial Nominating Committee for the First Circuit (2009-2014), as an attorney for the Shoreline Commission for Worcester County (20082011), as a volunteer attorney at the Worcester County Pro Se Family Law Clinic (2007-2012), as vice-chair for the Board of Trustees for Atlantic General Hospital (2013-present). “We are humbled and honored to continue in this role, and to try and step into the shoes of Guy Ayres,” Stansbury said. “He was just a giant, but we appreciate the confidence that the mayor and city council has in us.”

By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The evolution of Ocean City’s Roland E. Powell Convention Center continues, as the City Council last Monday formalized a new cost-sharing agreement with the Maryland Stadium Authority to pay for the third phase of the facility’s expansion and renovation. The new operations agreement with MSA changed the cost-share arrangement from a 50/50 split to 60/40 deal with the stadium authority picking up the larger share. Work is scheduled to begin this coming April and end in December 2021. Phase 3 will cost $37.5 million, with the city responsible for $15 million and the MSA covering $22.5 million. Additionally, state legislation authorizing the new formula boosted both the state and the city’s annual contribution to the convention center capital reserve fund from $50,000 to $100,000. The city pays for its portions of renovation costs through the resort’s food tax, said City Engineer Terry McGean, who presented the agreement to the council. He said the costs should pose little issue, as the city hasn’t had trouble generating its share, despite reducing the food tax from 1 percent to .5 percent in 2009. While the convention center expansion has been expensive —around $60.6 million total — the revenue and employment it has, and will create, far outweighs the cost, McGean said. Prior to the expansion in 2009, the convention center generated $160.5 million in direct and indirect spending, and created 1,500 jobs. McGean said the projected revenue and job growth for phase 1 and 2 were $29.8 million and 365 jobs, and $4.2 million and 45 jobs, respectively. In FY2018, the state reported that the building’s actual economic impact was $217.4 million and 1,990 jobs. “Actual growth since the completion of phases 1 and 2 has been $56.9 million and 490 jobs,” McGean said. “So results
have exceeded the estimates.” Phase 3 is expected to continue this upward trend, with a gain of $57 million in tax revenue and 570 jobs. “Every expansion that we’ve done … has been very successful, and the building has outperformed what we anticipated,” McGean said. “We’re excited to get this done and to get this open.” The project began in February 2009, when the City Council approved the then two-phased project. “The space wasn’t large enough, and it didn’t have the amenities that a lot of our building users were requesting,” McGean said. “We couldn’t bring new people in because we had grown as much as we could in the existing building.” Phase 1 focused on adding space to the lower exhibit hall, 14,218 square feet, and the ballroom, 12,663 square feet, and creating views of the bay, which, at the time, could only be seen from the truck loading dock. McGean and his team moved the truck dock from the west side of the building to the south side, added an exhibit room underneath, and tore down an old stage and raised the ceiling to shift the ballroom to the west to achieve the desired bay views. The first phase cost $9.1 million dollars — $5 million to the city and $4.1 million to the MSA. In phase 2, the performing arts center was added. McGean said he and his team knocked down a piece of the ballroom floor and first floor exhibit hall to create an open two-story space to add a 1,200-seat auditorium with a performing arts stage. This phase cost $14 million, with the city and state paying $7 million each. McGean said phase 3 had the same goal as phase 1 in further expanding the convention center’s square footage, as its use has quickly outgrown its capacity. He said set-up and cleanup for an event takes around two days each, while the event itself could take two to three days. At its current size, this meant the convention center could only accommoSee FEASIBILITY Page 12

Feasibility study shows profit gain Continued from Page 10 date one event per week. “One of the … advantages to what we are doing is the ability to have multiple events at the same time,” McGean said. The project will add 30,000 square feet to the main exhibit hall, increasing its square footage to 90,000 square feet. An MSA feasibility study in 2016 concluded the additional space would result in between $2.6 million and $3.5 million in additional tax revenues for the state and $1 million for Worcester County.
CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The following took place during Monday night’s City Council meeting:
Land parcel On April 30, the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company requested permission to absorb a parcel of government-owned land for Station No. 5 in West Ocean City. Public Works Director Hal Adkins explained that the request had been made to expand the fire company’s live-in program, storage space and of-
Worcester County receives $20,000 in census funding (Oct. 11, 2019) Following input from the Complete Count Committee, Maryland Department of Planning Secretary Rob McCord announced he has now distributed $5 million in funding to support the 2020 Census. The 2020 Census Grant Program Panel was established and funded following the passage of Senate Bill 855. With a total of $5 million available for Census grants, the funds are being allocated as part of the overall state effort to ensure an accurate, complete, fair
and inclusive count. Worcester County received $20,000. “I appreciate the input and feedback from the Complete Count Committe members as we worked together to provide this funding to further support our Census outreach effort to provide a full and accurate count of every Marylander,” McCord said. “By allocating this funding in every corner of Maryland, we are continuing our unprecedented commitment to get everyone counted on Census Day, April 1, 2020.”
fice space. The council had voted to approve the request on the basis that Worcester County also gave its approval, which it did, Adkins said. Members of the council voted unanimously to move the request to convey the land parcel to first reading on Oct. 21.
Ordinance 2019-15 Members of City Council voted unanimously to adopt on second reading ordinance 2019-15, which amends and restates the Ocean City, Maryland, Public Employees’ Pension Plan and Trust and Employees of Ocean City, Maryland, Pension Plan and Trust. “Over time, ordinances are passed as amendments to the plan(s) to change benefits, participant eligibility, etc., however, the ‘master copies’ are not automatically updated each time …” said Heather Stansbury, Office of City Solicitor. “Ordinance 2019-15 simply acknowledges that the language of previously passed ordinances amending the plan(s) have now been incorporated into the ‘master copies.’”
Fire Prevention Week Mayor Rick Meehan began Monday’s meeting by proclaiming Oct. 6-12 as Fire Prevention Week. “We couldn’t … protect our citizens
without the services of our fire company,” Meehan said. “They are the unsung heroes of our community.” Meehan said it was important for residents to do their part, and create fire safety plans and teach young children how to call 911, to reduce potential harm and death. “Our overarching goal is to prevent the 911 call,” Fire Chief Richie Bowers said. “We are here for you, if you need your smoke alarm checked, contact us, we will come and check your smoke alarm. As a matter of fact, if you need a new smoke alarm or battery, we will replace it at no charge,” he added.
Future meetings Transportation Committee — Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 9 a.m. in the Public Works conference room located on 204 65th Street. Building E. Agenda items include scheduled versus actual deployment, Uber/Lyft ridership impacts and updates on tram revenue, deployment and ridership. Police Commission — Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 9 a.m. in the Public Safety Building. Agenda items include updates on seasonal officer and public safety aide recruitment, bike light distribution, sleeping at transit facilities, overnight sleeping at the inlet parking lot and pier, a false alarm appeal and a taxi permit appeal.

UN reports reality of coastal climate change By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) When the United Nations released a report on Sept. 25 citing concerns about how climate change affects coastal communities, its experts might have checked here first. Had the 100 or so scientists who compiled the results of some 7,000 studies for the report bothered to ask, Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin, Coastal Bays Executive Director Frank Piorko, and scientist Bill Dennison at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Studies could have told them what’s happening. Also, Ocean City Planning Director Bill Neville could have filled them in on what’s being done about it. Arbin, who routinely takes the water temperature, said his data fits in with the findings he sees from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “I can look at data from the North Pole and see that there’s less Arctic ice than there used to be, which can lead to a rise in the level of the ocean, sea levels,” Arbin said. “That would have an impact on all coastal, not just Ocean City.” Despite this, Arbin is confident that Ocean City had already mitigated its carbon footprint as much as possible through beach replenishment, an ex-
tensive transportation system, the trash to energy program, and the lack of factories. Even so, rising ocean temperatures have already had adverse effects, according to Dennison, a professor of marine science and vice president for science application at the Center for Environmental Studies. “Those increasing temperatures cause the bacteria to respire more, and they consume oxygen,” Dennison said. “It leads to an oxygen problem in the water. We’ve got nighttime oxygen consumption rates causing late-night, early-morning events where we have no oxygen in the water. That’s bad for sea life.” Dennison said the higher water temperatures are pushing some species out of the bays, including eelgrass, which is disappearing from the Chincoteague Bay. These higher temperatures also could push tropical life into the Ocean City area at some point. Dennison added that the heat has caused salt marsh erosion and a record number of phytoplankton blooms in the St. Martin River. As a result, barrier islands, particularly in Fenwick and Assateague, could look very different in the future, Dennison said. “Water quality is one of the important amenities for people visiting the coast,” Dennison said. “Maintaining that is one of the major thrusts of the
Maryland Coastal Bays program and all the activity that the parks service and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and all the other managers in the region are trying to achieve. I think it does have ramifications for quality of life and economic progress in the region.” Like Arbin, Dennison is confident that Ocean City and Maryland are doing as much as possible to mitigate carbon emissions and maintain healthy sea life. “We’re already making major strides in reducing our nutrients and sediments and toxins from the flow of the land into the Chesapeake Bay, Chincoteague Bay and into our rivers,” Dennison said. “That effort is really critical to build resilience for the impacts of climate change.” Despite the strategies to prevent climate change, some effects are inevitable. Dennison said that even if carbon production completely stops, sea levels will continue to rise. Neville is preparing for that reality. “Our response as a local government is really focused on how do we manage the land uses here on the barrier island and protect the investment people have made in the community and continue to provide that recreational resource for the state and our region,” Neville said. He said the Ocean City Council and

Mayor Rick Meehan are working with the federal emergency management agency (FEMA) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to develop a hazardous mitigation plan and to replenish area beaches, respectively. One strategy was adopting a flood plain ordinance in 2015 to add a foot of freeboard to buildings. “It gives the community the option in the future, if we have to raise the streets or the stormwater drainage structures, that town infrastructure can be raised potentially without having to raise all the other homes or structures on either side of the street,” Dennison said. “That’s one of the questions we’re going to be working on this year as well.” Dennison said that Ocean City is fortunate to have the Maryland Coastal Bays program (MCB) and the Green Team to lead community outreach. The Coastal Bay’s Piork said the program recently worked with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources on rehabilitating Assateague Island. “We constructed a living shoreline solution, a partial solution because there’s never a 100 percent solution, to delay some of that climate impact so it can remain accessible for the public,” Piorko said. “The shoreline won’t continue to erode at three feet a See OC Page 19

Class 6 CRS rating means town likely to save millions By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Ocean City could save almost $1.5 million, or $57 per policy, on flood insurance premium costs, after it obtained a Class 6 rating from the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) back in 2017. “The Town of Ocean City received new credit by updating our Hazard Mitigation Plan, by using digital mapping tools for public outreach and [providing] documentation of open space preservation protection areas within the community,” said Ocean City Planning Director Bill Neville. FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program that awards communities with floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements. There are three goals that communities must meet to receive discounted rates: 1. Reduce flood damage to insurable property. 2. Strengthen and support the insur-
ance aspects of the NFIP. 3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS program rates communities on a 1 to 10 scale, with Class 1 receiving a 45 percent premium discount, and Class 10 receiving no discount. Class levels are based on 19 creditable activities, organized under four categories—public information, mapping and regulations, flood damage reduction and flood preparedness. Class 6 designation means the city earned 2,000 to 2,499 credit points, which results in a 20 percent premium reduction. Only four out of 14 participating communities in Maryland received a Class 6 rating, Neville said. Nationwide, there are 20,000 communities that participate in the program, and approximately five percent choose to go above and beyond the minimum requirement. Property owners who renewed or bought flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas on or after May 1, 2017, would also benefit from the premium discount Neville said.
OC prepares for increased flooding, water temperature Continued from Page 16 year like it had been eroding.” Another project for the program, according to him, will be to study how to design roads that can withstand frequent flooding. As for the rising ocean temperatures, Piorko and the team acknowledge they may have to take on extra monitoring efforts and change the conservation plan. “It may mean that different species of plants are replaced by other plants,” Piorko said. “What does that mean for those animals that feed on those plant species or those plants that are the nursery for other fish? There’s a lot of thought being given to what happens
when those plant and animal species might need to be replaced, moved, or need to adapt to different changing environments that are impacted by climate.” Changing fish and plant species could also affect the fishing industry. Despite these impending changes, Piorko and Neville are confident that Ocean City is doing everything it can for the local level. “The good news, and I think they’ve [climate reports] continue to reflect – we’re looking far enough out in the future at some of these impacts that there’s still time to make a difference,” Neville said.

Traffic stop off Route 113 in Berlin leads to arrest of two By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Two people were arrested on drug charges after a traffic stop last month off Route 113 in Berlin, the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack said. Samuel Gustavo Mirkin, 49, of Baltimore, and May Hong Do, 37, of Pikesville Maryland, were charged with possession of more than 10 grams of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute, according to state police. The arrest stems from an incident around 1:55 p.m. on Sept. 22 when state police stopped a silver 2013 Toyota Camry near the intersection of Route 113 and Germantown Road in Berlin. The responding officer searched the car after reportedly smelling marijuana, according to state police. Following the traffic stop, the responding officer recovered 10 jars of marijuana, 27 jars of THC-infused cookies, 151 white tubes containing marijuana cigarettes, eight glass jars with trace amounts of THC wax, one purple glass jar containing suspected THC hash, and two multicolored smoking devices with trace amounts of suspected marijuana. Additionally, one vape pen and 10 one-ounce glass bottles contained a suspected amount of THC oil, accord-
ing to police findings. Thirty-one plastic bottles containing suspected infused THC oil also were discovered. Three cell phones and $1,844.25 in cash were also found, according to state police reported. Do and Mirkin posted a $5,000 bond on Sept. 22, according to Maryland District Court records. They were both in court for a preliminary hearing request on Sept. 30.
POLICE/COURTS
Egging cars Police arrested Selma Halilbegovic, 22, and Emir Kapetanovic, 20, of Ocean City last Thursday after a witness accused the pair of egging several cars. An officer reported responding to a call to the 10 block of 43rd Street for a report of malicious destruction of property. Police met with the witness, who told police she had seen a shirtless man wearing gym shorts and a woman wearing a black dress throwing eggs at cars. The damage ranged from $500 to $999 per vehicle, police said. Halilbegovic and Kapetanovic both face 10 charges of malicious destruction of property under $1,000.
Farewell, teeth Michael Allen Alampi, 46, of Ocean City, Maryland, found himself under police scrutiny after he was accused of knocking out another man’s teeth last Friday. According to the police report, an officer saw two men arguing around South First Street and Baltimore Avenue. An officer reported Alampi yelled, “I’m going to f*** you up,” to the other man, and attempted to confront him at least three times. The officer told Alampi to stop, but the suspect reportedly ignored the officer’s orders and walked away. During an interview, the man told police that he had been in the passenger seat of a taxi when Alampi approached the vehicle and punched him in the face. The victim said his taxi had been blocking the exit, which had angered the suspect. Police said the victim’s lower-two front teeth were missing. Police arrested Alampi, who faces one count of second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Kick-a-cop Michael Shane Ross, 47, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, faces multiple charges after police accused him of kicking an officer during an arrest last Saturday. An officer reported responding to a call about a man screaming on the 10 Continued on Page 22

POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 20 block of Somerset Street. Upon arrival, the officer found Ross, who showed signs of being intoxicated. Ross reportedly refused EMS services, and could not remember which hotel he and his wife had booked. The officer reported calling his wife, who arrived to take Ross back to their hotel. As Ross and his wife walked east toward Baltimore Avenue, he began yelling incoherently. The officer arrested Ross for disorderly intoxication. While waiting for transport, Ross allegedly became agitated and started screaming again. Police said another officer told Ross to stop screaming, but the suspect ignored the officer’s order and kicked him in the back while screaming obscenities. Ross faces charges for intoxicated endangerment, noise violation, failure to obey an officer’s order, and second-degree assault.

Sixteen rabies cases so far in Wor. By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2019) A rabid raccoon was captured last month at Decatur Farms, making this the 16th rabies case of 2019 in Worcester County. The raccoon was caught in a trap on Sept. 28 on Schooner Lane in the Decatur Farms neighborhood off Route 113 in Berlin, according to the Berlin Police Department. Angela Richardson, rabies program coordinator for the Worcester County Health Department, said 26 confirmed cases of rabies occurred in 2018, with10 reported situations in 2017 and 14 instances in 2016. “This is similar to the pattern over the past several years,” Richardson said. If wild animals, including a raccoon, skunk, fox, or feral cat, are “be-
having in a threatening or obviously sick manner,” that could constitute a red flag, Richardson said. Anyone who sees any rabid animal behavior in Berlin, or if a pet is involved in an altercation with an animal suspected of rabies, that person should call the town’s police department at 410-641-1333. Richardson also suggested contacting the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at 410-632-1111. If a pet does make contact with an infected animal, people should not touch the pet barehanded, Richardson said. She also recommended that the pet owner notify the health department and the pet’s veterinarian. Several area fire departments will hold rabies vaccine clinics for animals next week, according to the county health department. Vaccinations cost
$5 for Worcester County residents, who will need to show proof of residency, and $10 for other participants. Those interested can visit the Showell Fire Department from 5:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the facility on 11620 Worcester Highway to get their pets vaccinated. The Stockton Fire Department will also host a clinic from 5:30-7 p.m. on 1501 Snow Hill Road. For more information about the rabies clinics, call 410-641-9559 or 410632-1340. To learn more about rabies, visit the county health department website at www.worcesterhealth.org. The Berlin Police Department also recommended calling the Worcester County Environmental Health Department at 410-352-3234 for more information about rabid animals.
The right thing to do
Two Ocean City firefighters retire
Despite claiming it was the “right thing to do,” Steven Craig Rusiewicz, 38, of Dagsboro, Delaware, found himself arrested by police after he reportedly ran around naked at an uptown gas station parking lot last Sunday. The complainant told police that she had been pumping gas when she saw Rusiewicz running through the parking lot without clothing. Police found the suspect in the 100 block of 120th Street. The streaking suspect reportedly told police that he had consumed a combination of vodka and acid, before deciding to go on a run. Police reported that Rusiewicz said as he ran, he suddenly felt compelled to take off his clothing. Police arrested Rusiewicz, who faces one count of indecent exposure.
(Oct. 11, 2019) Ocean City firefighters David Cropper and David Pruitt have retired after each protecting and serving the Ocean City community for nearly 40 years. Their combined 77 years of service was celebrated on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Mayor and City Council work session at City Hall. Both men spent their careers working as firefighters and emergency medical providers in the town’s career fire division, playing pivotal roles in building the professional foundations for the department. Cropper, a former chief of the volunteer division, began his career with the town in 1979. After serving in several critical leadership roles, he plans to enjoy his retirement fishing and spending time friends, family, and new grand-
daughter Marlie. “I don’t know where 40 years went so quick,” Cropper said. “I couldn’t have done what I did without the support of the volunteer fire company and the city. I don’t feel bad about leaving because our department is in good hands.” Pruitt began his career in Ocean City in 1982. Since then, he used his knowledge and experience to serve the department, along with the residents and visitors of Ocean City. He played an essential role in gaining Ocean City recognition as a nationally advanced lifesaving support system (ALS) and was a leader and a mentor within the organization ranks. Pruitt is looking forward to spending time with his wife Cindy, their two kids and grandson. “It’s hard to lose nearly 80 years of
service to our community in one afternoon,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “When we think about all of the people you have helped, the lives you have touched and the calls you have responded to over that time, there is simply no way to thank you enough. The department will certainly not be the same without you both.”
County offices to close for holiday (Oct. 11, 2019) Worcester County Government offices, including all five Branch Libraries and Recreation and Parks, will be closed Monday, Oct. 14, for the Columbus Day holiday. The Central Landfill and Homeowner Convenience Centers and Shore Spirits Retail Liquor Store in Pocomoke will be open during standard hours of operation. Worcester County Government offices will resume standard operating hours on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Special exception may allow church in industrial district By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Churches, temples and mosques may be allowed in the I-1 Light Industrial District by way of a text amendment for special exceptions that passed through the Worcester County Planning Commission last Thursday. Gary McCabe Jr., a pastor at Oak Ridge Baptist Church in Salisbury, wants to transform the former office of the Chaney Concrete Factory outside of Bishopville into a second church location. McCabe submitted a text amendment proposal to allow churches, temples and mosques in light industrial districts through a special exception on a case-by-case basis. In a letter to the county Department of Review and Permitting, McCabe said the city of Salisbury and Wicomico County had changed their zoning rules to allow. Both Director of Review and Permitting Ed Tudor and Zoning Administrator Jennifer Keener had expressed concerns that a church would not conform to the function of the light industrial district. Tudor also said in his comments that this exception could lead to a slow creeping of changes that could erode the zoning code. In her notes, Keener said the special exception would open the limited amount of land zoned industrial to non-industrial uses, when there is already appropriately zoned land available. She acknowledged, however, that churches are typically in use during nights and weekends, which would not interfere with the typical weekday hours of industrial buildings. Representing McCabe, attorney Mark Cropper told the Planning Commission that he didn’t entirely disagree with the general concerns. “That would be the purpose of ap-
proving this as a special exception,” Cropper said. It would allow the Board of Zoning Appeals to decide whether a church or particular piece of property is or is not appropriate. Planning Commissioner Gerard Barbierri said the timing of certain church functions, such as funerals and luncheons, could conflict with industrial operations. Cropper agreed and added that if an industrial entity is concerned about a specific case, it can express those concerns to the Board of Zoning Appeals before the decision is made. Planning Commissioner Marlene Ott moved to give the text amendment an unfavorable recommendation to the Worcester County Commissioners. With no second offered, the commission. asked to hear more from Tudor, who reiterated his worry that small changes can add up to more significant changes and erode the zoning code. “Over time, it’s just like throwing them in the pot,” Tudor said. “You throw in boiling water, who knows what happens? But if you put them in the pot and turn up heat over time, it’s a whole different story.” He said this change could allow for further alterations and that the district may not indeed be industrial after time. Cropper replied that the county commissioners could use the next code revision, which was last completed nearly 10 years ago, as an opportunity to make a change if the text amendment caused any problems. Barbierri moved to give the county commissioners a favorable recommendation for the text amendment and Planning Commissioner Jay Knerr seconded. Ott opposed the motion. The text amendment will next go to the Worcester County Commissioners for approval.

Hundreds of cars are on display during the Ocean City Endless Summer Cruisin’ event in the inlet parking lot last year.
Endless Summer Cruisin’ in Ocean City this weekend By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The 22nd annual Ocean City Endless Summer Cruisin’ event is underway as hundreds of cars will be on display throughout the weekend in the inlet parking lot and at the convention center on 40th Street. Over 2,000 hot rods, street machines, trick trucks, customs and classics will be featured during one of the eastern region’s largest fall car shows. “Fall is just such a great time to visit Ocean City,” Meredith Herbert, Cruisin’ organizer and promoter, said. “The weather’s a little cooler, the town’s a little less crowded and these events just have something for everyone.” Show hours for both the inlet and convention center are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11-12. The Grand Finale Car Show and Awards Ceremony will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday at the inlet. Celebrity guests this year will include Stacey David from the television show “GearZ” and Amanda Martin from “Iron Resurrection.” They will be available for photos and autographs at the convention center and inlet parking lot. David will be available at the convention center on Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the inlet parking lot on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Martin will be at the inlet parking lot from 11

a.m. to 4 p.m. and the convention center on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be a wide assortment of live entertainment at the convention center, including Mook Jones, Ben Fuller and Golden Touch. “From the grandparents to the grandkids, we have kids of all ages that come to the event,” Herbert said. “It’s just a fun time.” A highlight for Endless Summer Cruisin’ is the Boardwalk parades, which will take place Friday and Saturday mornings. Staging begins at 26th Street on the Boardwalk and the parade will begin at 8 a.m., going south to the inlet. “Everybody loves the parade,” Herbert said. “We can get close to 500 cars in the parade depending on the weather. We’ve had some pretty big ones … A lot of people like to get up early, watch the parade in the morning, and then follow the cars down to the inlet to check them all out.” Automotive merchandise and
products will be featured at the Manufacturer’s Midway in the inlet parking lot. Vendors include Advance Auto Parts, AMSOIL, Automotive Lift Service, Events Apparel, Keen, Maryland Lottery, Miller Welding and Sundance Vacations. Ocean City Special Events and Cruisin’ Classic Auctions will team up this year. The auction will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. inside the convention center, though attendees will be able to preview the auction items today, Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We’re really excited to be working with them,” Herbert said. “They have a 2000 Ford GT, which is valued at I believe close to $200,000. They also have a 1929 Ford Woody … and a lot of nice cars going across the auction block.” For more information about the auction, visit www.cruisinclassicauctions.com. On Saturday from 6-8 p.m., Endless Summer Cruisin’ will have a Halloween kick-off party at Trimper’s See BOARDWALK Page 26

‘Saving Lives’ book shares info about OC Beach Patrol (Oct. 11, 2019) Historian and former Eighth Street Ocean City lifeguard, Robert M. Craig, has published a second illustrated book on the Ocean City Beach Patrol, following the appearance in August of “Maryland’s Ocean City Beach Patrol” (Arcadia Press). “Saving Lives” is the first comprehensive narrative history of the lifeguard organization, illustrated with many new images, and full of firsthand accounts of the multi-dimensional activities of Ocean City’s “most valuable asset.” The book records, for instance, which future OCBP lifeguard was the original Coppertone Girl. There are testimonies from beach patrons who have written that they would certainly have drowned or been paralyzed for life, or lost a child, were it not for the lifeguard whose alertness, skills and heroic action of “just doing my job” saved lives and forever changed lives. Craig, a member of the beach patrol from 1960-65, is the son and namesake of Capt. Robert S. Craig who headed the Ocean City Beach Patrol from 1946-1987. He brings a knowledgeable and personal insight to the telling of these stories. As an active historian and author of nine books, Craig has organized a volume which will be the “go to” book for many years for information about the Ocean City Beach Patrol. Craig will be at the Ocean City branch, Worcester County Library, 10003 Coastal Highway, on Tuesday, See FORMER Page 26

Ocean City Fall Restaurant Week slated for Oct. 13-27 By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Taste the flavors of autumn during Ocean City’s ninth annual Fall Restaurant Week, which begins Sunday, Oct. 13, and continues until Oct. 27, featuring discounted prices on meals and drinks throughout northern Worcester County. “There are lots of great deals so it’s a really good opportunity to know what you’ll be budgeting before you go out to dinner and have a great meal for a great deal,” Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event, said. “It gives people a reason to dine out and that helps the employees continue to make tips during the off-season. It’s a win-win for diners and employees.” Horizon’s in the Clarion Hotel on 103rd Street, for instance, will offer a special restaurant week menu with two courses for $35 and three for $40. The two-week promotion, designed after the success of the Spring Restau-
rant Week, offers specials to draw diners through the doors when business is slower and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new ideas. Eighteen participating restaurants range from pubs, breakfast and lunch eateries to fine-dining establishments. “There’s definitely chefs who take this promotion very seriously and they create new menu items they might want to put on their winter menu,” Jones said. This is especially true for Chef Jim Glenn, who works at Poseidon’s Pub located inside Casino Downs in Berlin. This will be the second Fall Restaurant Week promotion for Poseidon’s Pub. “I think it’s great that chefs get to show off their wares and their business and what they specialized in and gives us a nice two weeks to show off,” Glenn said. The restaurant inside of the casino will be two years old in January, and has floor to window seating right in See POSEIDON’S Page 28

Poseidon’s Pub, 17 others to take part in promotion Continued from Page 27 front of the racetrack. Since patrons must enter the casino in order to eat at the restaurant, customers must be 21 or older to dine at Poseidon’s Pub. “You can sit down and enjoy yourself and have a nice dinner,” Glenn said. “You might hear some of the noise from the machines, but it’s exciting and people enjoy it.” The restaurant will offer three courses for $25. First-course choices are Caesar salad, creamy acorn squash soup with roasted pepitas, or stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon with a Grand Marnier orange glaze. “It’s a fun, eclectic cuisine that’s from scratch, it’s chef driven, very artisan and a lot of passion has gone into it,” said Erik Cantine, director of food and beverage for Ocean Downs casino. “People are so surprised that we have a restaurant in here and how good it is. We get a ton of feedback on quality and services. We also have a [new] event space that Poseidon’s kitchen also takes care of and we can do buffets and sit downs for up to 250 people.” The second course offers a choice of a hickory smoked half chicken served with roasted fingerling potatoes and seasonal vegetables, an 8-ounce strip steak with a bourbon mushroom glaze served with bleu cheese mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, or pan seared salmon and blackened shrimp with a grain medley and a Dijon dill sauce. To finish the meal, guests can choose from a pumpkin cheesecake, maple pecan tart or a molten chocolate cake. “During Restaurant Week we’re also celebrating craft beer month and will be offering discounts on local crafts,” Cantine said. “We feature local craft

Another restaurant to check out during the event is Bourbon Street on the Beach, a Louisiana Cajun experience on 116th Street. “People are more willing to come out at a discounted rate than at a normal price,” Owner Barry Reichart said. “It also comes out at a great time of the year where everybody is just getting over being super busy and gives another boost before the winter time.” Two Restaurant Week specials are available – three courses for $30 and four courses for $35. Starters include char grilled oysters,
blacked tuna quesadillas, bacon wrapped scallops, buffalo chicken dip, crab stuffed mushrooms, and shrimp pizzaiola. For a soup or salad option, guests can choose between a house salad or Caesar salad, gumbo or cream of crab. “When you come to Bourbon Street, we give you the full three- or fourcourse meal, depending on your choices,” Reichart said. ‘We don’t cut back on our portions for Restaurant Week ... They’re all the standard, same size that you get for the price on the regular menu and get a lot of value that you could make two meals out of it if you really wanted to.” Customers have a wide variety of choices for their entrees, including a bourbon street steak, lobster ravioli with crab alfredo, Chesapeake chicken, broiled seafood sampler, shrimp and crab etouffee, jambalaya, crab and crawfish mac and cheese, almond crusted chicken with bing cherry sauce, or a new teriyaki salmon with Asian coleslaw. “I always keep the standard 10-12 See BOURBON Page 29

Gemini, hiding your feelings for some time is a recipe for unhealthy pressure. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind when your input is sought.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is a good idea to give people the benefit of the doubt, but don’t overlook your gut instincts. It is always a good idea to be cautious when meeting new people.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may have to make a tough choice this week, Leo. It involves choosing to engage in some recreational activities or head to work to put in extra credit. Trust your judgment.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t have to have superhero levels of energy each and every day. If you are not feeling fully up to the tasks at hand this week, give yourself a well-earned breather.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are typically deft at keeping your emotions on a short leash, Libra. But every once in a while you can’t fully rein things in. Others will understand an outburst is out of character.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 There is a fine line between being a devoted employee and a workaholic, Scorpio. Scale back some of your hours, especially if work is affecting your home life.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may have been spreading your wings to see just how many new things you can accomplish, Sagittarius. This week one of your goals really gets traction.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be feeling footloose and flirty over the next couple of days. This is the perfect time to spend with a significant other or find a romantic interest if you are single.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may be asked to be a peace-keeping referee when two people on the job need a mediator. Your thoughtful approach makes you an ideal person to handle the task.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Volatile feelings can be calmed with the help of some good companionship this week, Pisces. Channel your energy into something fun.

Youth ID Program fingerprints 200 Showell students By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The Ocean CityBerlin Optimist Club recently fingerprinted 200 students at Showell Elementary School as a part of its Youth ID Program. The program, which was started in 1996 by local club member Steve Acton, has scanned the fingerprints of approximately 75,000 Worcester County students in prekindergarten through eighth grade since its inception. “We give parents a card they can keep with them and if something happens, like say they were on the Boardwalk in Ocean City and their kid got lost, there would be a description of the child and all the pertinent information the police would need to help recover the child,” Roger Pacella, publicity chairman for the Ocean City-Berlin Optimist Club, said. In addition to having their fingerprints taken, students also get their picture taken in front of a height chart in order to further help police in the event the child goes missing. Typically, the procedure is done for students in prekindergarten up to first grade, though transfer students up to eighth grade can also be added to the system. The program is offered during the school day. The Ocean City-Berlin Optimist Club’s Youth ID Program is provided throughout Worcester County in both private and public schools. The group has also brought the program to Phillip Showell Elementary in Sussex County, Delaware. See CLUB Page 32

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct 11, 2019) Twenty-six of the world’s top Elvis impersonators will gather at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street, starting next Thursday. The three-day event will return to Ocean City with performers competing to be named the best Elvis. Tickets were still available as of Tuesday afternoon. A cash prize of $5,000 will be split between the top-five finishers. The first-place winner will also earn an opportunity to represent Ocean City and battle for the title against winners of other preliminary contests at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, held during the 2020 Elvis Week in Memphis in August. “It’s a great festival. It’s one of eight festivals that we do each year and we can always count on Ocean City being a consistent group of very enthusiastic fans,” Executive Producer Jason Sherry said. “It’s not our biggest event, it’s not our smallest event, it’s just the right size and as long as people keep coming, we’ll keep doing it.” Ocean City has been hosting one of the eight Elvis Festivals for the past five years.
Headlining this year’s festival will be Ultimate Elvis Tribute artists Dwight Icenhower, Taylor Rodriguez, Mark Anthony, Ted Torres, Robert Washington and Irv Cass, and 2019 champion, Diogo Light, of Brazil. Cass and the Change of Habit tribute band will also take the stage. At 9 p.m. next Thursday, a welcome karaoke party will take place in the Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant inside the Clarion, hosted by Emcee Dan Barrella. The event will only be open to ticket holders. Next Friday and Saturday, audience members will see the first and second rounds of the contest. Each contestant will perform four songs both days. Half of the group will perform with tracks and the other half with the Change of Habit tribute band. The top 10 will advance to Sunday’s finals. The competition will begin at noon, Friday, Oct. 20, and 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. Friday’s 8 p.m. show will be Jukebox Live, featuring Light, in tribute to not just Elvis, but also to Johnny Cash, Elton John, Tom Jones, Ricky Nelson and other classic rock acts. “It’s a wonderful trip down nostalgia lane and it’s a way to remember See ACTIVITIES Page 36

Activities include rock and roll tributes, gospel, auction Continued from Page 35 life when it was a little bit simpler and you were able to enjoy rock and roll a little more,” Sherry said. Closing out Friday night’s festivities will be an auction in Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant hosted by Barrella. Proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Next Saturday night, the annual “Spooktacular” Halloween Costume Ball will take place at 10 p.m. “It’s a lot of fun,” Sherry said. “The performers dress up as Elvis all weekend, so Saturday night is when the fans get a chance to dress up. So, we all put on our costumes and have a big costume party in honor of Halloween.” Next Saturday’s 7 p.m. show, Flipsides, will celebrate the depth of Elvis’ music, featuring the other side of his vinyl albums. Next Sunday morning at 10 a.m. there will be an Elvis Gospel music event at the Clarion before 10 Elvis tribute artists take the stage at 1 p.m. for their final round of competition. “If you’re an Elvis fan, and you’ve never been to a tribute event like this before, the difference of what we do is all of our performers in the headline shows are professional entertain-
ers,” Sherry said. “It’s more of a genuine tribute heartfelt by the guys and the producers and the fans and helps Elvis fans relive a moment in their history that they’re not able to access any longer.” A wrap party will send off the Elvis tribute artists at 7 p.m. next Sunday. Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc., the company that controls the Presley estate and operates Graceland, is the proprietor of the event. In 2007, it started searching for the best representation of Elvis Presley and now the event is held annually. In addition to Ocean City, Elvis festivals will be held in Brunswick, Georgia; Lake George, New York; Las Vegas and Memphis this year. Elvis merchandise will also be available, from official festival Tshirts to key chains. In addition, CDs, DVDs and other collectibles will be available as well. A limited number of passes are available for the event, which start at $50 for individual shows and $139 for weekend passes. Hotel and ticket packages are also available.

Pumpkin soup served with toasted croutons By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) October is here and days are embellished with vibrant leaves, chilly weather and growing anticipation for Trick-or-Treat day. The 10th month of the year is a time where families look forward to pumpkin patches, sipping on apple cider and nibbling on homemade apple butter. The change of seasons is also a reminder to modify one’s menu. Apples, squashes and pumpkins are in season and you should be taking advantage of these natural blessings. Pumpkin soup is delicious and a festive way to start out a meal. This appetizer can be simple or complex. It is up to the individual and their personal preference. For example, if you are pressed for time, canned pumpkin can be used as an alternative. This saves a lot of time not only in the cooking but also the cleaning process. If you are a purist and prefer to start from scratch, stick to the smaller pumpkins. They are sweeter and easier to work with. The next decision is to determine whether you should steam or bake the pumpkins. The process of steaming will incor-
porate more moisture into the meat of the pumpkin, which can lead to a watery finish. This may not be the best option for pumpkin soup. Roasting pumpkins eliminates some of the extra liquid and intensifies the flavor of the pumpkin. It is more labor intensive but yields a thicker consistency. The flesh of a pumpkin has a gorgeous, orange color that is pleasing to the eye. However, the meat of the pumpkin itself is on the bland side and it is up to you to season accordingly. Pumpkin soup can be enhanced with cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and brown sugar to please those who have a liking for the sweeter side, such as children. Carrots, sweet potatoes and parsnips can be pureed into the soup for more depth of flavor. These additions not only add a wonderful aroma but can act as a natural thickener. Pumpkin soup needs a contrast in texture to “pop” the dish. Pumpkin seeds, pepitas and croutons are great possibilities. Keeping with the theme of specifics, croutons can be seasoned

Feel free to add personal touch to recipe, Walker says Continued from Page 39 made.” Store bought croutons have a tendency to be very salty and do not allow one to delve into the art of originality. Tradition is a good thing, but it should not limit your creativity. Pumpkin soup can easily be transformed to incorporate the flavor profile of other cuisines. Sriracha, cilantro and tortilla chips can take this American tradition to another exciting and innovative level. Following is a basic pumpkin soup recipe that is made with canned pumpkin for simplicity purposes and a basic crouton recipe. Feel free to add your own personal touch. If you are in the mood to try something new and fancy, consider serving creamy pumpkin soup with crispy croutons. Enjoy!
Basic Toasted Croutons 3 cups of artisan or sour dough bread croutons ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil kosher salt 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. Lightly brush croutons with olive oil. Add a touch of kosher salt and place the croutons on the sheet pan. 3. Bake until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and place croutons on a plate so they do not
continue cooking. Set aside.
Pumpkin Soup 2 pounds canned pumpkin 1 yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 4 cups chicken broth 2 chicken bouillon cubes, crumbled ½ cup half and half 3 tablespoons maple syrup few pinches cinnamon and nutmeg kosher salt to taste 1. Place all of the ingredients, except the cream in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. 2. Remove the pot from the heat. Using a hand-held immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. 3. Add the cream and mix thoroughly. 4. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish the soup with croutons or serve them on the side. Secret Ingredient – Choices. “Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.” – John C. Maxwell * If you enjoy cooking and the art of entertaining, I highly recommend investing in a good quality hand-held immersion blender. They are handy and can save you a lot of time. Immersion blenders can be pricy, so keep an eye out for sales.

Hospice celebrates National Arts & Humanities Month (Oct. 11, 2019) Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop is supporting the arts every Saturday in October and hopes the community will rally around it to celebrate National Arts & Humanities Month. The Thrift Shop is partnering with Worcester County schools in a program to showcase its elementary school students’ artwork in the store, giving each student the opportunity to sell their artwork and keep the proceeds. Every Saturday in October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. shoppers can stop in to peruse the local artwork. If they purchase a piece, the customer will receive $5 off any purchase of $20 or more that day. “We are very excited for Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop to serve as a platform for young artists in Worcester County,” said Robert Stewart, Thrift Shop manager. “The benefits of arts in education are numerous, and we are pleased to give children not only an outlet for their creativity, but also the opportunity to sell their art to the public.” National Arts & Humanities Month is a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in America. It was launched by Americans for
the Arts more than 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the 20th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the Arts and national arts partners as a month-long celebration. To view the student schedule for each Saturday in October, visit the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop Facebook page. For more information, contact Stewart at 410-603-4962. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing lifelimiting conditions but do not want to be defined by them, and instead want to remain as active and engaged as possible during the final chapter of their lives. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their own homes, as well as in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, at Coastal Hospice at the Lake and the new Stansell House. The organization also provides “palliative” care which treats the symptoms and relieve the pain of a terminal illness or injury so that patients can enjoy the time remaining.

‘Pup of the Pines’ contest helps publicize OP dog park By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Let your canine take a shot at fame, if not fortune, during the fifth annual “Pup of the Pines” contest to support the Ocean Pines Dog Park. Katelynne Hunt with Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks said the entry deadline is Oct. 20, with voting taking place during November before a winner is crowned at the Hometown Christmas event on Nov. 30. “We know people around here love to show off their dogs,” she said. Hunt said the dog-centric contest was launched to highlight the outdoor canine facility a couple years after it opened. “We started thinking, we have a dog park over there and we’re doing nothing to advertise it,” she said. “It just kind of got built and we did nothing with it.” Entries have been solicited since Aug. 14, with the two-month window closing in just over two weeks. “All we need is a picture and a little write-up of why you think your dog should be, “Pup of the Pines,’” she said. “The winner at the end gets a year free into the dog park, so that’s always a bonus.” Voting for the next Ocean Pines canine ambassador begins during the Halloween celebration on Oct. 26.
“We post the dogs up and then people can vote there,” she said. “Last year we just started doing the online voting, so we hope to be able to do that again.” The canine candidate pool peaked during the first year of the event, with roughly three-dozen pups vying for the top spot. “The first year was actually a really good number,” she said. “It’s gone down a little bit [but] we still have about 20 people signed up.” Hunt said additional dog owners interested in having their pooches take a turn in the spotlight are still being sought. “Everyone gets discouraged after they lost,” she said. “Twenty dogs are still a lot considering it’s our fifth year.” The somewhat limited selection pool makes for an intimate contest, Hunt said. “There’s a nice small humble group, so you get a good time to look at all of them,” she said. In addition to no-cost dog park entrance for the next year, Hunt said the eventual winner would also become a “local pup celebrity,” serving as the bewhiskered face of the Ocean Pines Dog Park. “They’ll be in our activity guides [and] they’ll be on the e-blast,” she said.

This year’s speaker will be Hunter “Bunk” Mann, a native of the lower Eastern Shore and author of the book, “Vanishing Ocean City,” published in 2014. His second book, “Ghosts in the Surf,” is coming out this fall. Mann’s talk will focus on Ocean City and its growth during the 1960’s.

He said that the decade included the 1962 storm and the beginning of the high rises. In 1960, the northern part of Ocean City was an area of “sand dunes and sea gulls.” At the end of the decade, the high rises and condominiums had been started and Ocean City had expanded all the way to the Delaware line. Also, a new bridge into the resort had been completed. His plans include showing some of the pictures from his two books. The menu for the Historical Society’s
dinner will include: French style chicken breast, Maryland crab soup, scalloped potatoes, vegetable medley, rolls and butter, Italian lemon cake, coffee, tea and iced tea. The social hour will begin at 1 p.m. and dinner will be served at 2 p.m. The dinner is open to the public.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Flowers, jewelry, candles and furniture are all available at Ocean City Florist and Gifts, located in the Montego Bay Shopping Center on 129th Street. Denise Heim-Pazdan obtained ownership of the shop in April around Easter, but she has been working with flowers since she was in high school. “I’ve been in the floral business since 1990,” Heim-Pazdan said. “I also worked for 25 years at Dundalk Florist in Baltimore.” Heim-Pazdan worked at Ocean City Florist and Gifts for four years before the original owner decided to retire, MORGAN PILZ/OCEAN CITY TODAY and has kept the shop very similar to Denise Heim-Pazdan took over ownership of Ocean City Florist and Gifts in early April. how it was, albeit with some minor renovations. The flower shop offers services for weddings, anniversaries, funerals, birthdays, homecomings, proms and any other special occasion. It is filled with a colorful variety of flowers, ranging from exotic orchids to the popular Gerber daisies, as well as an assortment of roses. During the fall, seasonal flowers such as sunflowers, orange roses, daisies, Asiatic lilies, solidagos and other bright colored styles are available. In addition to flowers, the shop offers European and dish gardens, silk and dried floral arrangements, funeral designs, gourmet and fruit baskets, gift baskets, greeting cards, candles, jewelry and stuffed animals. “I like working with the public and making them happy with flower MORGAN PILZ/OCEAN CITY TODAY arrangements, and doing weddings Ocean City Florist and Gifts is located in the Montego Bay Shopping Center on 129th Street. and seeing the brides get excited about their flowers,” Heim-Pazdan said. “We have a good history, good service and knowledgeable staff.” Bouquets are always available at the shop for walk-in orders, ranging from $10.95 to $14.95 for any occasion.

Three options for property owners when appealing By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) Real estate contracts in Maryland reveal to buyers a “Property Tax Notice” disclosure that a buyer has a 60-day right of appeal to dispute the taxable assessed value. The paragraph in the contract of sale states: “If any real property is transferred after Jan. 1 and before the beginning of the next taxable year to a new owner, the new owner may submit a written appeal as to a value or classification on or before 60 days after the date of the transfer.” To clarify, “the beginning of the next taxable year” is by June 30. So what happens if the property settles between July 1 and Dec. 31 in any given year? The Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (MDAT) provides further clarification on this process on its website, https://dat.maryland.gov/realproperty, under the Assessment Appeal Process page. The assessment appeal process allows property owners the opportunity to dispute the value determined by MDAT. Appeals may be filed on three occasions: • Appeal on Reassessment (upon receipt of an assessment notice, which is normally every three years); • Petition for review; and • Appeal Upon Purchase (upon purchase of property between Jan. 1 and June 30). If you purchase a home between July 1 and Dec. 31, it will depend on when your property is due for reassessment. You may file a petition for review by the first working day following Jan.1, for the two years your property is not valued at reassessment. But, if your property is due for reassessment in any given year, you will need to wait until you receive your reassessment notice, and file under the Appeal on Reassessment option. Property owners have the right to three different options when appealing: personal hearing, phone hearing, or written appeal. Appeals made in writing eliminate the need to attend a scheduled hearing or to call in by phone (MDAT attempts to prioritize appeals made in writing). - Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Coastal Assoc. of Realtors awarded (Oct. 11, 2019) The Coastal Association of Realtors (Coastal) has been presented the 2019 William J. Neary Jr. Community Action and Realtor Excellence (CARE) Award from the Maryland Realtors for its work to better local communities through volunteerism and charitable giving. Coastal Director Grace Masten, who served as chair of this year’s CARE Award Committee, presented the award and a check for $9,000 to Coastal President Bernie Flax and Coastal PresidentElect Joe Wilson during the Sept. 12 Maryland Realtors Installation and Awards event at Gaylord National Harbor. Coastal will award the $9,000 to local charities through the Coastal Realtors Foundation. The CARE Award is given to local Realtor associations in recognition of their achievements in community service and charitable actions. The award is designed to raise the The Coastal Association of Realtors (Coastal) was recently presented the 2019 William J.

profile of the Realtor organization by focusing on associations that have demonstrated an extraordinary record through direct local association community service involvement. In 2015, the Award was renamed the “William J. Neary Jr. Community Action and Realtor Excellence Award” to honor former Maryland Realtors President William “Bill” J. Neary. Two awards are given each year – one for small associations and one for large associations. Coastal is considered a small association. The highlight of Coastal’s community work over the past year is establishment of the Coastal Realtors Foundation, which is a donor-advised fund held by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore and supports local charitable organizations that are supported by association members. So far this year, the association has awarded over $16,000 in grant funding to organizations that service the Lower
Eastern Shore. The annual Coastal Realtors Foundation Golf Tournament is the primary fundraiser for these efforts. Last year, the event raised over $12,000. Among Coastal’s other charitable efforts are the association’s annual holiday party toy drive to benefit Toys For Tots, an annual Realtor Build Day in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, and support of the Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore’s JA Inspire event, among others. “It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of Coastal,” Flax said. “Our members truly care about our communities and it shows through all of their efforts, inside and outside of the association. We will use this award to continue to support our members’ hard work and dedication to the causes that are important to them on the Lower Eastern Shore.” For more information about Coastal and the Coastal Realtors Foundation, visit www.coastalrealtors.org.

Atlantic General Hospital receives Most Wired honors (Oct. 11, 2019) Atlantic General Hospital has earned the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives’ 2019 Most Wired recognition as a certified level 7. This year’s recognition is the community hospital’s fourth consecutive award from Most Wired for successful application of information technology solutions that positively impact the quality and safety of care as well as the overall patient and family experience. The Most Wired program conducts an annual survey to assess how effectively healthcare organizations apply core and advanced technologies into their clinical and business programs to improve health and care for their populations. Less than 3 percent of hospitals across the United States achieved Most Wired Recognition in 2019. “We are honored to have received Most Wired recognition once again,” said Jonathan Bauer, vice president of information systems at Atlantic General Hospital. “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication not only by our IT team, but also by our medical staff and our employees from the front line to the executive suite, to implement best practices in healthcare IT and improve the quality of the care we deliver every day.” “Healthcare organizations across the globe are continually striving to raise the
standard of care, pushing themselves and their peers to do better,” said CHIME President and CEO Russ Branzell. “We designed Most Wired to identify and share those leading practices so everyone can benefit.” A total of 16,168 organizations were represented in the 2019 Most Wired program, which this year included three separate surveys: domestic, ambulatory and international. The surveys assessed the adoption, integration and impact of technologies in healthcare organizations, scoring the level of advancement in eight segments: infrastructure; security; business/disaster recovery; administrative/supply chain; analytics/data management; interoperability/population health; patient engagement; and clinical quality/safety. Atlantic General Hospital has been providing quality health care to the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties in Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware, since May 1993. Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospital’s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin combines personal attention with the latest in technology and services. It provides quality specialty care such as weight loss surgery, orthopedics, outpatient infusion and chemotherapy for individuals with cancer or blood/autoimmune disorders, and a comprehensive Women’s Diag-

Panel won’t work, closed doors will Gathering around the table with officials, critics, supporters and people who participated in the wild modified foreign car event two weeks ago sounds like a reasonable way to prevent a recurrence of that kind of anarchy. Except that it won’t work. Like many other well-intentioned panels that have been charged with addressing the concerns of society, it would be almost entirely populated by people who want to solve the problem, rather than those who are the problem. When someone’s idea of a good time is wreaking havoc and challenging the police, it’s hardly likely that this individual would have much interest in finding ways to stop it. Besides, there’s no way to determine, in such a loosely structured group, if there actually is someone whose words of caution would be heard and heeded by a majority of the participants. Almost certainly, the absence of a controlling authority and the gathering’s lack of rules and standards is part of its appeal to many, and maybe most, of these car owners. Consequently, inviting them into the room, while fair, would also be pointless. The only answer is to make behaving badly truly unappealing. The mayor and City Council are virtually powerless to do anything of substance without the consent of the General Assembly, and it is there that pressure must be applied. The council and the public may have numerous schemes and plans they would like to pursue, but as good as some of these ideas might be, they would be illegal for the most part if they aren’t backed up by state law. Although the council has been criticized here many times for meeting in executive session, the council’s closed-door discussions on this subject are both appropriate and necessary. There’s little to be gained by having a public debate over tactics, when their legality has yet to be determined.

PUBLIC EYE
Questions answered
Having been told many times over the years, “I guess you have all the answers,” I have finally accepted that it must be true. It began in childhood, when, as I recall, an elementary school teacher looked at me and then said, “We now have the ability to send a rocket to the moon. The problem is we don’t know yet how to get it back. Any suggestions, young Mr. Dobson?” “Yes, put it in reverse.” “I guess you have all the By answers, don’t you?” she said Stewart before writing a quick note said, I later discovered, Dobson that “must talk to parents.” A similar incident occurred in high school in a class called Problems of Democracy (don’t get me going) when the new-to-school teacher asked me the cause of the global population boom.” “Would that be singles bars, sir?” “I’ve heard about you,” he said. “You have all the ...” Now, in my later years, I have come to embrace this gift of having all the answers, which leads me to this week’s inquiry from a reader: where does Spam come from? Admittedly, I had to do some research on this because of the obvious secrecy with which Spam is produced. It turns out, though, that the source of this kitchen pantry staple is a small furry creature known as the spamster. Little is known about the spamster, except that it is native to the Hawaiian Islands, which explains why they even put it on pizza there. Each fall, thousands of free range spam-
sters are rounded up by spamboys, who then drive the herd up the old Chilsom Habitrail to be sold at auction. I swear this is true, according to various sources on social media, which, as we all know, are always to be believed. Besides, as you can see below, I have one of the few known photographs of an actual spamster in the wild. Incidentally, if you’re wondering why this news hasn’t come out before and that Spam isn’t a pork product as we’ve been led to believe, it’s the same reason you never see a picture of that popular menu item, monkfish. If you knew what it really looked like, you wouldn’t eat it. Next week, we’ll explore the amazing world of the telephant, whose mating call can be heard long distance.

Letters to the editor Weekend vacation in OC ruined by fake H2Oi event Editor, Well, I never thought I would say we had the most horrible four days at the beach — particularly at our wonderful Ocean City getaway! We have had our condo for the past 13 years in Ocean City, and have been visitors since our childhood vacations. Never have we experienced the likes of H2Oi. Inconsiderate, arrogant, disrespectful, violent and vulgar are only a few of the descriptions for this group. To begin with, we could not open our windows or sliding doors due to the self-made shotgun-sound pops and roars from their vehicles, thereby eliminating the beautiful and soothing sounds of the ebb and flow of the ocean surf. We could not enjoy our travels as we rode through the city roads due to the deafening noises of the vehicles all around us. We could not enjoy the views of the city as we rode due to the messages on their vehicles, such as “F—- YOU,” EAT S—T,” or “GAS OR A—” (whatever that means!)” Happily, we had no young children in the car to try and explain what these things meant. We could not enjoy our view from our condo when we looked out the windows or sliding doors and observed H2Oi participants urinating on or throwing trash from their cars on our other buildings’ parking lots. We did not appreciate H2Oi participants entering our private property to use our water and hose facilities to wash their cars without asking permission. While we residents in north Ocean City could certainly have had more police presence as these loud speeders/racers tore up and down the road, endangering the lives of other drivers, passengers and pedestrians, and violating all other kinds of law, it is understandable why they were not in our vicinity very often. To their credit, when our residents called the police at least twice, they arrived quickly and took us seriously. And, after viewing on TV the more than disgusting behavior of these participants in Ocean City proper, it is obvious where the majority of the police should have been. We can only wonder with awe how the Ocean City police officers conducted themselves in such an admirable way. They deserve the utmost respect. With all of this chaos over four days, they must have been exhausted and near the breaking point. And to have retained their self-control and calm demeanor must have been a very difficult trial. No one deserves to have rocks and bottles thrown at
them while protecting others! And to make matters even worse, upon our departure at mid-morning Sunday, we found ourselves among a large number of departing H2Oi participants. In addition to hearing the roaring noise, their continuous speeding, and observing the vulgar sayings on their cars, they felt it necessary to again put travelers in danger. On two-lane roads, they sould pass in caravans of six, eight or 10 cars — sometimes in the passing zone and sometimes not. But the most dangerous thing they found amusing was to maintain their caravan when passing, which would force oncoming cars to veer off the road onto the shoulder. Luckily, when we saw these incidents, the menacing H2Oi drivers were not driving on a curve, and the oncoming cars could see them coming, and there was a shoulder for these cars to move onto to avoid and head-on collision. Not funny. While we certainly appreciate the mayor’s desire to eliminate this nuisance and dangerous activity in our wonderful city, we believe it will take more than just raising the cost of violations to keep them away. While we do not know the answer, we hope that someone does. Additionally, it would be interesting to have an accounting of the monetary damage incurred by the city, its residents and its businesses, and the number of visitors who will never return. Ocean City is too great a place for residents, families, and elderly people to let hoodlums rule the good. Stuart and Marie L. Balderson Glenwood, Maryland
Not state’s fault for ‘H2Oi’ shenanigans, citizen says Editor, Your commentary emphatically blaming the Sept. 27 weekend’s H2Oi “riot” on the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceeding Committee for not approving Ocean City’s attempt to increase special events traffic violations and fines shows your parochial views. If anything, the unruly actions of the H2Oi drivers clearly demonstrates that attempting to use traffic laws to control insurgent behavior has minimal effect. Hundreds of police officers, doing an impressive job, gave out at least 1,500 traffic tickets and arrested 151 individuals. Make no mistake about it, the H2Oi drivers were using their vehicles as a form of protest and disturbance of the peace. I was told that a number of H2Oi drivers who received tickets taped a copy of the citation to their passenger side rear window as a badge of honor. Continued on Page 67

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 66 In another case, the H2Oi driver committed violations with a law enforcement vehicle right behind their car. (See one minute into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= mmP4Uitotjk). It is clear that the special event law did not and will not prevent, even if expanded, the unruly actions of the H2Oi drivers. The Judicial Proceeding Committee refused to pass the original special events proposal because it was a typical Ocean City government overreach that covered automotive, entertainment, amusement, recreation, sporting, marketing, or community events, vehicle, boat, outdoor recreation shows, festivals, fairs, carnivals, parades, circus, concerts, and block parties. That’s right, the Ocean City Council wanted to designate a special events zone if a circus ever came to town. In other words, the original Ocean City proposal would have resulted in any event in Ocean City with large crowds could be designated a special event zone. This is why the Maryland General Assembly limited the special events law to motor vehicle traffic violations. The Ocean City Council needs to move away from its simplistic legalistic approach of trying to use the traffic laws to controls individuals’ behavior and develop other feasible alternatives for all motor-related groups.

Art League of Ocean City: Thank you for great event Editor, On behalf of the Art League of Ocean City, thank you to everyone who made this year’s 15th annual Sand Castle Home Tour a record breaking year. The proceeds from this event continue to provide sustaining funds to support our nonprofit mission of promoting artistic expression and appreciation for the creative arts in our community, and help to keep the Ocean City Center for the Arts free and open to the public. The tour showcases the many beautiful residential communities in our area, as well as the builders, decorators, contractors, restaurants, and others who provide amenities that support our local economy and the arts. It truly takes a village to run this event, and we are so grateful to the 314 volunteers who worked as docents during the tour. Many return to help each year, and some are representatives from other nonprofits in the area. We would like to thank Maryland’s First Lady, Yumi Hogan, for again being our 2019 honorary chairperson.

Native rockfish population threatened, many at fault Editor, It is truly a great pleasure to live by one of the greatest estuaries of the United States. It provides food, livelihoods, and recreation for many of its inhabitants and neighbors. Now one of its treasures is being threatened.
Our rockfish (striped bass) are ensuing threats to their existence and all our state’s inhabitants are threatened with it. There is no doubt that there are many faults to go around. This is not to point fingers as who’s to blame, but instead to note that all must share in this recovery effort. Both the recreational and commercial fisheries should share in the recovery equally. The population of our striped bass will suffer long-term if this is not addressed immediately. Living in the Maryland coastal bays area, we have a somewhat tailored view. Recreational fishermen on the coast have a much smaller area to fish. We have a fishing limit of three miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Not many statistics exist for the coastal bays. Our keeper fish are 28 inches minimum (with a slot). Chesapeake Bay’s is 18-28 inches depending on the time of year. In the past several years, Marine Resource Information Program (MRIP) reported catch limits are declining with future stock spawn severely reduced. There are year-round rockfish in the coastal bays and local anglers know where they are. MRIP interceptors are not to go to private docks nor are they allowed to go on the water. In addition, they (the interceptors) are not used in the off-season.
Currently MRIP has no catch statics for the Atlantic coastal bay area. In order to provide numbers, MRIP is currently using New Jersey figures for the Maryland Atlantic Coastal area. This is not correct nor accurate! New Jersey catches far more striped bass than the recreational anglers on the Maryland Atlantic Coast. Using the New Jersey catch data inflates our catch numbers, thereby penalizing us. We at the Atlantic Coast Sportfishing Association (ACSA), helped the Maryland Department of Natural Resources capture data for a Recreational Harvest Estimate Project in 2011. In order for the coastal bays catch to be recognized, we need our local anglers to provide catch data approved by MD DNR. The ACSA is more than willing to be of assistance again. If you would like to discuss this further, we, at the Atlantic Coast Sportfishing Association, are available. We also believe that both the recreational and commercial sectors should accept the same percent reduction in catch. We must all work together to restore and preserve striped bass. Ron Smith, President Atlantic Coast Sportfishing Association

National Park Service counts wild horses for Sept. census
The National Park Service has completed its September 2019 population census of the wild horses on Assateague Island National Seashore. Pictured are N2BHS-B “Little Dipper,” left, and M2EINR “Miss Priss” in September.
(Oct. 11, 2019) The National Park Service has completed its September 2019 population census of the wild horses on Assateague Island National Seashore. There are 76 horses in the Maryland herd, including 22 stallions and 54 mares. One death was documented and there were no births. The National Park Service completes a full census of the horse population in Maryland six times per year, in February, March, May, July, September and November. Managed as a wildlife population, the Assateague horses are free to roam over approximately 27 miles of the barrier island and can be difficult to find at times. During each census, horses are
identified by their distinguishing characteristics, mapped and counted. Individual horses that are not observed during multiple census periods are presumed dead. The purpose of the census is to monitor the overall population dynamics of the horse herd in support of the long term fertility control program that was initiated in 1994.
County requests budget transfers, encumbrances By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) As part of the annual general fund audit, the Worcester County Commissioners approved end-of-the-year budget transfers and encumbrance requests for the fiscal year 2019 budget during their meeting on Oct. 1. Budget transfer requests are typically due to unforeseen expenditures and are a part of the annual budget audit. According to Budget Office Kathy Whited, the FY19 budget was adopted on June 5, 2018 for $190 million. After that, the county department and agency heads kept track of their individual budgets to make one large budget transfer request to the commissioners. The budget transfer requests totaled $294,726. This total notably included $42,458 in the following encumbrance request mostly from the Department of Emergency Services due to a contract with Federal Engineering, as well as upgrades to public works buildings, new software equipment, and open purchase orders. Commissioner Chip Bertino moved to approve the budget transfers, and Commissioner Joshua Nordstrom seconded the motion. Whited also reported the final numbers of the fiscal year for assigned encumbrances, another function of the audit. This reserve is for contracts or purchase orders that are fulfilled the following year. The total encumbrance request for FY19, according to Whited, was $1,841,755. Whited said that the departments requested a total of $229,558 for committed projects that are currently underway, $1,259,847 for allocated funds for grants that are still open and not yet completed and $352,350 for “other,” which include “various projects for public works, library computer operating system updates, carryover funds from Rural Legacy and conservation projects.” Commissioner Bertino moved to approve the reserve for assigned encumbrances, and Commissioner Jim Bunting seconded the motion.

WORLD WAR II
Nazi Germans sink battleship HMS Royal Oak Scapa Flow, long thought of as ‘indomitable,’ falls prey to Günther Prien’s assault By Sam Ghaleb Ridgecrest, California (Oct. 11, 2019) This week, 80 years ago, U-47, under the command of Günther Prien, managed to penetrate Scapa Flow and achieve the impossible — sinking the battleship HMS Royal Oak . Scapa Flow, anchorage of the Royal Navy, in the Orkney Isles, was considered by naval experts to be one of the most secure havens for naval ships in the world. Its location at the extreme north of the British Isles made it an impossible target for enemy surface warships, submarines, and aircraft. To make things more difficult for any potential attacker, the entrance to Scapa Flow was protected by sunken block ships, and by natural tidal currents that made navigation through the narrow channel known as Kirk Sound hazardous, at best. On Pct. 13, 1939, the Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Oak was lying at anchor in Scapa Flow. She was one of 10 old battleships retained by the Royal Navy after the Washington
Naval Treaty. These battleships comprised the bulk of the Royal Navy battle line in 1939. The Royal Oak belonged to the Rclass battleships, which also included Royal Sovereign, Ramilliese, Revenge, and Resolution. In the early hours of Oct. 14, 1939, the battleship Royal Oak became the first battleship to be lost in the Second World War. Kapitänleutnant Prien was able to conduct a skilful attack and put three torpedoes into her side. In 13 minutes, HMS Royal Oak, after a magazine explosion, rolled over and sank with heavy loss of life. The Royal Oak’s history goes back to World War I. She was built at Devonport in 1914-1916, and was nearly 600 foot long, with a maximum width of 100 feet. She was armed with eight 15-inch guns contained in four turrets, and a secondary armament of 6inch, 4-inch guns for anti-aircraft protection and four torpedo tubes. The battleship was well armored with 13 inches of steel that extended 5 feet below her water line. She was capable of a 22-knot speed powered by 40,000 HP oil-fueled engines. A crew of nearly 1,200 men was needed to handle her. The battleship also saw action at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The captain of U-47, Kapitänleut-
nant Prien, was one of the best submarine officers in the German Navy. Prien was born on Jan. 16, 1908, and joined the German merchant navy in the summer of 1923. He transferred to the German Reichsmarine (the Navy) in 1933, and served on board the light cruiser Königsberg, before entering the U-boat service in 1935. At the end of his training, he was assigned First Officer of the Watch to U-26. The talented Prien rose steadily in the ranks, until he was given command of the new Type VIIB submarine, U-47, when she was commissioned on Dec. 171938 and was promoted to the rank of Kapitänleutnant on Feb. 1, 1939. Prien’s submarine, the U-47, was one of the ocean-going Type VIIB boats, with which Commodore Karl Dönitz, commander of U-boats in the German Navy, planned to cut the life line to Britain within the scant budget granted him by Berlin. U-47 displaced 750 tons, and had a range of 6,500 miles, which was enough to allow her reach the midAtlantic. She could hit 17 knots on the surface, seven underwater, and she could dive to more than 350 feet underwater. She packed four 21-inch torpedo tubes forward and one aft, and car-
ried 14 torpedoes. An 88-mm gun on the foredeck and a 20-mm antiaircraft gun behind the conning tower completed the armament of U-47. Dönitz, promoted to rear admiral Oct. 1, 1939, was an old submarine veteran from the First World War, when U-boats had very nearly starved England to death. He believed that a force of 300 subs would finish the job this time around. Dönitz began the war with just 57 boats, only about half of which were the open-water Types VII and IX. He had planned to deploy them in “wolfpacks” of six to nine boats each, but it was all he could do to keep that many at sea at any one time. But where could a German submarine, operating alone, strike fear into the heart of the Royal Navy and cause repercussions all out of proportion to the actual effect? Scapa Flow was the answer. If a U-boat could get into the anchorage and sink a few capital ships, the damage to the Royal Navy’s pride would be enormous. At 0116 hours, on Oct. 14, 1939, U47, under the command of Prien, navigated through the narrow channel and fired a spread of three torpedoes at HMS Royal Oak and the British seaplane tender HMS Pegasus Continued on Page 74

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 72 lying at anchor in the harbor of Scapa Flow. A few minutes later, U-47 turned around and fired a stern torpedo at 0121 hours. Prien misidentified the seaplane tender as the battle cruiser HMS Repulse and claimed a hit, but a torpedo apparently hit the starboard anchor chain of the battleship and did not damage the ships. After reloading the front tubes, the U-boat fired a second spread of three torpedoes that hit HMS Royal Oak on the starboard side and caused a magazine to blow up. The battleship rolled over and sank in a little more than 13 minutes. The ship complement was 1,208 officers and men, of which 833 were killed. Following the attack on the Royal Oak, Prien escaped the Flow unmolested as most of the Royal Navy thought a submarine attack was unlikely and that Royal Oak had been damaged by internal explosions. It was not until a diver went down that same day and found a torpedo propeller that the truth sank in. The sinking of the Royal Oak was a tremendous blow to the Royal Navy. The war had just begun and the Germans had sunk one of its finest battleships. When Prien returned to Germany, he was given a hero’s welcome. Prien
was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, the first sailor of the U-boat service and the second member of the Kriegsmarine to receive this award. Prien also went on to become one of the most famous U-boat “aces” of the war, with U-47 sinking an amazing 30 merchant ships totaling 162,769 gross register tons (GRT) and damaging eight merchant ships totaling 62,751 GRT. In 1940, a grateful Germany awarded Prien Oak Leaves to his Knight’s Cross. Germany claimed the sinking of HMS Royal Oak only after it was announced on the BBC. As for Prien and his crew, they became instant folk heroes. They were exploited by Reichsminister of Propaganda Dr. Joseph Goebbels to extract the maximum glory from their deed. A few months later, Prien’s autobiography, Mein Weg Nach Scapa Flow, was published and sold an astonishing 750,000 copies. Even before his arrival in Wilhelmshaven, on the morning of Oct. 17, the entire nation of Germany was already celebrating the remarkable exploits of U-47 and its commander. As a commemorative, First Watch Officer Endrass painted the outline of a charging bull on the conning tower of the boat. It was to become Prien’s personal insignia and later, the offi-
cial insignia of the Wegener Flotilla. As U-47 sailed into harbor, the crew of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst cheered and saluted the return of the “Bull of Scapa Flow.” The crew of U-47 was met at the dock by Adm. Dönitz and Grand Admiral Erich Ræder, who presented Prien with the Iron Cross First Class and to all others, the Iron Cross Second Class. But Hitler himself was ecstatic and was anxious to meet the Reich’s new hero. That afternoon the entire crew of U47 was flown to Berlin in Hitler’s personal airplane and were paraded in a motorcade through the streets of Berlin. Thousands turned out, cheering and lining the streets, whipped into a frenzy of enthusiasm: a brass band, guard of honor, flowers, candies, lunch with Hitler, press conference, speeches, and even more speeches. Prien and his crew were treated like celebrities. It was the greatest and the most grandiose celebration of a naval battle victory in Germany, or any country in the world, and such a celebration has never been equaled in the history of modern submarine warfare. Having gained Hitler’s attention, Dönitz seized the opportunity to press upon his Führer for higher Uboat construction priorities, to which der Führer grudgingly agreed. Almost
simultaneously, Hitler eased the political restraints governing U-boats. All enemy ships, including liners, could be torpedoed on sight. For all purposes, by Nov. 17 1939, the official policy against British and French shipping was “unrestricted submarine warfare.” For the British, the attack ended the careers of several naval figures. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, escaped only because he was just recently appointed. After the U-47 attack, Scapa Flow’s defenses were further strengthened with additional block ships sunk, completely sealing off the channel. Additional barriers and booms were further constructed over the next few months, in what the Admiralty deemed as a tragedy never to happen again Meanwhile, until Scapa Flow could be made secure again, the British Home Fleet dispersed to other anchorages. As planned, Dönitz had already mined the most likely refuges. Mines damaged the battleship Nelson and cruiser Belfast and another four vessels were sunk. Despite the tragedy, Winston Churchill described it as a “remarkable exploit of professional skill.” Like the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, the Royal Oak remains to this day, a 30,000-ton war grave.

OBITUARIES MARY LOUISE CARMENINI Ocean Pines Mary Louise Carmenini, age 68, passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019 at her home. Born in Evergreen Park in Illinois, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Grace Peters Roach. She is survived by her beloved husband of 49 years, Al CarMary Carmenini menini, and daughter, Donna Marie Cerruti and her husband, Isaac “Sasha” Cerruti, of Newport News, Virginia. She enjoyed a career with Nestle and General Foods/Kraft, working her way up to corporate recruiting, before transitioning to a full-time mom for Donna. Along the way, she was elected twice to the Old Tappan Council in New Jersey, followed by serving as interim administrator for the town. Mary was a beloved wife and devoted mother who always had a wise word and loving embrace to give. She was active at the Ocean Pines pools and enjoyed playing volleyball with her friends at the Sports Core Pool on Fridays. Mary and Al have been coming to Ocean Pines since it was established in the 1970’s. They became full-time residents in 2016, and lived out their dream of retirement at their home on the St. Martin’s River. Mary loved the constant entertainment of the river, both watching boaters and wildlife go by, as well as setting sail on “The Almar” with Al and Donna to enjoy and explore the river and the bay. A mass of Christian Burial was held on Friday, Oct. 4, 2019 at St. John Neumann Catholic Church. The Very Rev. Paul Jennings officiated. A viewing was held on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019 at the Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin. A donation in her memory may be made to: St. John Neumann’s church in Ocean Pines. Letters of condolence may be sent via: www.burbagefuneralhome.com. DONNA ANN JAMESON CONWAY Florida/Maryland Donna Ann Jameson Conway was called home on Monday, Sept. 23, 2019 at 71 years of age after a painful and extensive battle with cancer. She is survived by her best friend and husband of 53 years, Gerald “Jerry” Conway, four children and eight grandchildren: Laura E. Conway Johnson (Craig), Donna Conway Woodsboro, Maryland (three children), Gerald A. Conway, Jr. of Ocean City, Maryland (three children), Josh Conway (Sue) of Las Vegas, Nevada (one
child) and Jamie Conway of Olney, Maryland (one child). Donna grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. and attended local schools. At the ripe old age of 17, she met a man who turned out to be her life partner, in every sense of the words. The circumstances of how they met is a story in and of itself and would probably require an extra five or six paragraphs… another time. They raised their children in Olney, Maryland, where they all attended local schools. They both had successful careers in the Federal government, Donna at the NOAA Weather Bureau, first as a teletype operator and then as a computer operator. When she became pregnant with their third child, they agreed commuting costs and childcare were having a negative impact on their
finances so she chose to stay at home. Within a year, she had launched a childcare business that became quite lucrative for the next 30 years. Her excellence in business and service to the community resulted in Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening presenting her with a Governor’s Citation. That same year, her grant request for supplemental funding to operate a consortium of childcare centers in Montgomery County was selected from the hundred or so that were submitted. They chose to retire early once their children were functioning on their own. It was more than a little difficult for her to pack up and move to Florida to join the thousands of other snowbirds who spent most of their year in Florida and summers in Maryland. They both adjusted with their
summer “fix” and occasional visitors from the north. A private Celebration of Life is planned for late October. The family asks that rather than other remembrances that you instead donate to either: Time for Trees - an Arbor Day Foundation Initiative (https://fundraise.arborday.org/give /221735/#!/donation/checkout), or Garden Club of Cape Coral (Florida) Scholarship Fund (www.gardenclubofcapecoral.com/getinvolved/do nate/).

Over 3,000 racers participate in first OC Spartan event By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) More than 3,000 men and women participated in the inaugural Ocean City Spartan Race in the inlet parking lot last Saturday. Thousands of friends, families and onlookers watched as men and women ages 14 and older participated in the first Ocean City Spartan Race, which was only the second urban race set up by the organization. The event was considered a success, according to Ocean City Special Events Coordinator Frank Miller. “If we were to make a general guess on attendance, I’d probably say there were 5,000-6,000 [spectators],” Miller said. “The type of crowd it attracted … it attracted people who may not have necessarily come to Ocean City for other reasons or other events, so that exposure is highly valuable.” “We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback regarding the event,” Ocean City Private Events Manger Lisa Mitchell said. “A lot of the participants said this was the first time that their friends and family could actually watch and almost walk with them as they did the course.” The responses from the Spartans, their friends and families and onlookers was also very positive. “This course is unlike any other courses Spartan has done where they usually get to close off the stadium or arena or a park,” Miller said. “But here, because it’s such an open public and tourist-based venue, the friends and family could walk the entire route and see everybody as if they were going through the obstacles. “Lisa [Mitchell] and I saw there was one lady who didn’t know any of the runners, but she was at the obstacles cheering them on,” he continued. “It was awesome to see the support that the general public was giving.” Some participants traveled from all over the country to participate in the urban race, like Paul Masser of Daytona Beach, Florida. “We have family that live in Maryland and the website lists all the races and we thought it would be a good way to come up and visit family and have some fun,” Masser said. “It’s a fun challenge and it’s something different from running a 5K or a marathon.” There were five categories for this year’s race: Elite Men, Elite Women, Age Group ranging from 14 to 60s, Morning (8:45-11 a.m.) and Afternoon (11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). The first wave of runners took off at 7:30 a.m. The first-place winner of the Elite

Women’s Elite participants climb a rope wall during the inaugural Ocean City Spartan Race in the inlet parking lot, Saturday, Oct. 5.
Men’s race, Mark Falcone of West Chester, Pennsylvania, finished the entire course in 27 minutes. “This race was awesome, by far one of my favorites,” Falcone said. “It’s a flat course so it’s great for beginners, but for the elites it’s super-fast and you have to push hard as hell. There were all sorts of upper body, lower body, a bunch of grip strength obstacles … it’s real fast pace, high intensity obstacles. “I would recommend it to anyone – young and old, beginner or elite – it’s a
super fun course,” he continued. “It’s awesome to be running on the beach ... it’s just great.” The race was so inspiring for the town, that Miller and Mitchell believe the Recreation and Parks Department will have its own team signed up next year. “[Ocean City Recreation and Parks Director] Susan Petito mentioned the idea of maybe the town putting together a team to compete next year,” Miller said. “That just goes to show you that an
event like that can be so inspiring to the public. People that wouldn’t normally think about participating on a run, let alone a run that has 20 obstacles in it, are [getting] inspired by people who are fit and people who want to get fit.” The race held in Ocean City last weekend was a considerably shorter event than other Spartan races. Sprints take place over a three-mile distance, whereas Super ranges from five to seven miles and The Beast includes runs 13 miles or farther. See FIRST Page 80

Dorian Messick, 8, wins multiple titles during tournament
Continued from Page 79 Miller would like to see more events like this in the resort. “My hope is that that we will continue to see events like this come up and it goes along with us following Rec and Park’s slogan: ‘Be Active, Be Healthy, Have Fun,’” Miller said. Spartan races first began in 2010 when founder Joe De Sena became increasingly aware that humans are missing a critical component in the modern world. As humans took steps forward technologically, holistic health took a step backward. Life is getting “easier”, but as a result, people are becoming overweight, depressed, lonely and less self-sufficient. Inspired by the warrior society of ancient Sparta, De Sena set out to create a community of Spartans who push and inspire each other. Spartan obstacle courses seek to manufacture adversity, which then trains the body and mind to overcome obstacles on the course and in everyday lives. Spartan has grown to 250-plus annual events across more than 42 countries and has currently pushed more than 8 million people to become more active, growing closer to De Sena’s goal of 100 million people.

Messick competed against several other martial arts students in his division, ranging from children his own age to teenagers up to 17 years old. He even bested two 17-year-old participants during Sunday’s competition. He won first place in the weapons division and forms in advanced belts, which allowed him to proceed into the grand championship divisions. “I just feel so happy because I won two grand champions and I’m very happy about that,” Messick said. “I like karate because we can do fun things at the end of classes.” Messick has been practicing martial arts since he was 5 years old, and is currently a red belt, which is only two levels below a black belt. “It was super cool,” Messick said. “I See MESSICK Page 81

They helped me a lot for the tournament.” Messick’s father, David, is extremely proud of his son for his prowess in the martial arts field. “The most impressive thing to me was that every single one of his competitors came up to him and each of them congratulated each other and said that they agreed that he deserved it,” David said. “He got to first place in both weapons and forms in advanced belts in his age bracket, which then put him into the grand championship where he was then was put against all 17 and under, under black belts.”
Messick has competed in several states, ranging from New Jersey to North Carolina. This past July, he also participated in the Junior Olympics. Originally, Messick participated in a six-week program hosted by Chesapeake Martial Arts in Ocean Pines. The introductory program was held in the same location that the tournament would be held almost four years later. “The entire school did well at this past competition,” David said. “He’s been fortunate to have a combination of a few of the teachers that have really helped him on the field to get to this point and his peers.” Messick will continue to hone his martial arts skills, compete in more tournaments and he plans to become a black belt by the end of the year.

Many Prep runners earn PRs during event By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Worcester Prep girls’ and boys’ cross country teams both came in first place during Wednesday’s five-school meet in Centreville. “It was great weather and it was a big change. Last time we ran it was two weeks ago, and it was pretty hot,” said Prep Coach Keith Geiger. “Some of them were surprised and not used to running when it’s this cool.” The Lady Mallards won the competition, scoring 20 points. Salisbury School was runner-up with 36 points. The top-five Prep runners to cross the finish line were: sophomore
Myranda Beebe (first, 23:41), senior captain Ashley Laws (second, 23:57), freshmen Caitlyn Hoen (third, 24:30) and Linley Hill (fifth, 25:27) and junior Alexandra Willey (29:47, ninth). “The girls did fantastic. [There were] a couple personal best [times],” Geiger said. “One girl, [sophomore] Sydney Lamson-Reich, went from 35 to 30 minutes. It is Keith Geiger these types of jumps in time that make the kids realize it is worthwhile. “When it’s 95 degrees and we’re running out in a field, it’s hard for
them to understand the personal growth they will have,” he continued. “But now, it’s starting to show, and it’s wonderful to witness.” Worcester’s boys’ team tallied 26 points in the victory. Gunston finished in second place with 55 points, followed by Delmarva Christian with 68 points. Contributing to the win were: juniors Graham McColgan (first, 18:54) and Connor Carpenter (third, 19:40), seniors Frank Carter (fourth, 19:59) and Gavin Hentschel (sixth, 20:25) and freshman Riley Moyer (12th, 21:03). Sophomore Nick Hearne also completed the race in 21:03, but was
a tenth of a second behind Moyer. The freshmen boys on the team were amazing. All ran personal bests,” Geiger said. “Gavin Hentschel, Nick Hearne and Riley Moyer all stepped up and ran their best. I knew they were capable of running this fast, so it was nice to see those guys close the gap from three to four,” he added. The final meet of the regular season is Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Georgetown, Delaware. “Our top runners are improving, but I’m just as happy and proud of some of the improvements made by some of the runners lower on the list,” Geiger said.
Mallards play ‘fabulously;’ offense, defense on point By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team’s offense and defense did its job on Tuesday as the Lady Mallards topped the Salisbury School Dragons, 6-2, in Berlin. “I think we played fabulously. I think we were firing on all cylinders,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. “I felt like everything we worked on the past week they were doing.” Sophomore Anna Carpenter scored the first goal for the Mallards. Sophomore Natalie Brushmiller made it 2-0, then senior captain Mesa Cammack boosted Worcester’s advantage to 3-0. Carpenter added another goal before halftime. At the break, the Prep squad led 4-1. “The defense was smothering to start. [Sophomores] Lily Baeurle, Ava Nally, [freshman] Ava Wilsey, at a point for 10 minutes it was nothing but freshmen and sophomores on the field,” Hartnett said. “I’m proud of them.” Brushmiller tallied two goals in the second half for a hat trick. “This was our breast cancer aware-
ness game and the kids were really into it. Everyone was in pink at the start of the game,” Hartnett said. “They communicated well and we had well-established layers of defense. We were not bunching up. Layers and layers; I can take one player out and put one in, which is nice.” Prep senior captain Emily Copeland stopped seven Salisbury shots. “Emily went out and stuffed them three or four times. She made some point-blank stops. That’s what keeps you in a game and keeps you motivated,” Hartnett said. “[Salisbury] just beat Saints Peter and Paul [3-0] last week,” she continued. “We have tough games. Gunston is next week – they took Saints Peter and Paul to overtime [lost 4-3] – and then we play Saints Peter and Paul. Just check one off, check one off and we’re there.” Worcester will host the Gunston Day Herons on Wednesday at 4 p.m. for Senior Day, then the Saints Peter and Paul Sabres next Friday, Oct. 18, at 4 p.m. “We’re just taking it game by game.

We’re not looking past anyone,” Hartnett said. The Mallards shut out Gunston, 50, on Sept. 25. Their only lost this season was to the Sabres. Saints Peter and Paul won the Sept. 18 matchup with Worcester in Easton, 2-0.
“We’re where we’re supposed to be in the season right now,” Hartnett said. “People are in positions they weren’t in at the start. People have earned spots, people have earned time. It’s just working and doing your job.”

WP boys’ soccer team ends game in tie with Salis.
WP field hockey squad wins 6-0 over St. T More
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) After two 10minute overtime periods, the boys’ soccer game on Tuesday in Berlin between Worcester Prep and the Salisbury School Dragons ended in a 2-2 tie. “I think we played well. We continue to have trouble finishing at the net, but the boys continue to play hard and never gave up,” Prep Coach Jon Adkins said. “Offense is getting better shots, now we need to finish. It was a great game and atmosphere.” Senior Max Taylor gave the Mallards a 1-0 lead right before the halftime break. Salisbury tied it up about seven minutes into the second half. Taylor netted his second goal with about 17 minutes remaining in the match. The Dragons evened the score with 7:30 on the clock. Both teams had some opportunities in the overtime periods, but neither could capitalize. Senior Spencer Paquette recorded six saves in goal for Worcester. “We have improved. Passing, decision making, all have improved,” Adkins said. “They are playing much better as a team. They are a hardworking group who really care about
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Worcester Prep field hockey team shut out the St. Thomas More Ravens, 6-0, in Magnolia, Delaware, on Monday. “We were a little slow to start, but once we got going we really picked it up and did some nice passing and got some more goals in,” said Prep Coach Katie Oxenreider. “We are a young team that has continued to improve each game and I am thankful for our senior captains who have led by example.” Senior captains Rylie Carey and Abbi Nechay both scored goals in the first half. Nechay added two more in the second half – one of them a penalty stroke – to earn her second hat trick of the season. Carey and eighth grader Caitlin Williams scored one goal each in the second half. Eighth grader Maggie McCabe played in goal for the Lady Mallards. She recorded three saves. Worcester will host the Sussex Central Golden Knights today, Friday, at 4 p.m.

On Monday, the Lady Seahawks hosted the Snow Hill Eagles. They won 25-11, 25-18 and 25-19. “They played well.

Senior captain Summer Vorsteg chipped in with four aces, three kills and one block. Junior Brooklyn Pugner added two aces, three kills, one block and two assists.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Worcester Prep golf team wrapped up regular-season play, winning both competitions this week. “It has been an exciting, fun season and a true team effort by a variety of players,” said Prep Coach Don McMullen. Worcester hosted the four-school meet on its home course at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin on Monday. The team recorded a 180, its lowest score of the season. Juniors Kaden Mault, Carson Cebula and TJ Bescak, and freshman Harrison Humes all shot 45s. Teammates, senior captain Devin Wallace and junior Mason Brown weren’t far behind, with scores of 48 and 49, respectively. “The team played very well…I was very pleased,” McMullen said. “Their hard work at practices has definitely paid off resulting in these lower scores.” Salisbury Christian was runner up, tallying a 185, followed by Gunston Day (212) and Salisbury School (236). The Mallards battled windy, cold conditions, especially later in the match
on Wednesday at Nutter’s Crossing in Salisbury. Worcester took top honors, shooting a 187. Contributing to the victory were freshman Griffin Jones (43), Don McMullen Humes (47), Bescak (47) and Brown (50). Wallace also carded a 50 and Mault shot a 54. Salisbury Christian was runner-up, scoring a 191. Gunston came in third with a 220 followed by Salisbury School (236). “The young men played well,” McMullen said. “Griffin and Harrison definitely contributed to the victory. This is the second varsity match for both of them.” All four schools will compete in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship meet on Tuesday, Oct. 22, beginning at 2 p.m. at GlenRiddle. “They look very good going into the ESIAC match,” McMullen said. “We will have practice rounds next week in preparation for the ESIAC championship.”
Decatur boys’ soccer team edges out Pocomoke, 1-0 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team pulled out a 1-0 victory over the Pocomoke Warriors on Tuesday in Pocomoke. “We just couldn’t get clicking. We didn’t spread the field like we like to,”
Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “We haven’t played [a game] in seven days, so I don’t know if that had something to do with it. I think we were rusty. “It was the first time we played in bad weather,” he continued. “We dominated, we just couldn’t do anything once we got See SEAHAWKS Page 85

Several runners earn PRs at meet By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2019) The Stephen Decatur girls’ cross country team won Tuesday’s six-school meet in Salisbury, while the boys’ squad finished a close second. “I thought we ran pretty well. Lots of athletes had PRs (personal records),” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “I am glad we got the meet in because last week’s meet was cancelled and it looked like rain/wind [on Tuesday]. They ended up running the boys and girls together in case it started raining, but I think it worked out OK.” The Lady Seahawks scored 27 points in the victory. James M. Bennett was second with 30 points.
Junior Mary Mergott crossed the finish line first overall. (19:25). “The standout runner for me was Mary. Her goal was to run 20 Jody Stigler minutes and her PR was 20:45 and she clearly ran much faster than that,” Stigler said. “If she can continue to improve for the next two weeks and be prepared for the Bayside meet, she has a chance to be among the top few girls in the conference.” Rounding out the top-five Decatur runners were: junior Devon Kramer (fifth, 21:35), sophomore Avery Braciszewski (sixth, 21:52), senior Ellie
Dutton (seventh, 22:09) and freshman Mackenzie Cathell (eighth, 22:34). Bennett took first place in the boys’ competition, scoring 35 points. Decatur was second with 41 points. Sophomore Tristan Dutton led the Seahawks. He finished second overall (18:10). “For the boys, Tristan Dutton was the standout and he ran his PR by a lot,” Stigler said. Also scoring points for Decatur were: junior Liam Foley (fifth, 18:45), freshman Kai Ross (ninth, 19:04), junior Silas Cascio (12th, 19:16) and freshman Aryavir Sangwan (13th, 19:18). The next track meet is Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Pocomoke.
Seahawks have trouble ‘clicking’ Continued from Page 84 to the 18 [yard box]. They packed it in and that’s really what hurt us.” Decatur also has several players battling injuries. With about 15 minutes left in the game, junior Kellen Catrino dribbled the ball down the right side and sent it into the goal area. Junior Emmanuel Aroh finished the play to provide the Seahawks with a one-goal lead. “It was good to get our legs back under us,” Greenwood said. “Once we scored we really calmed down and started to knock the ball around. We played decent the last 15 minutes of the game.” Decatur sophomore goalie Aeddan Jones recorded three saves. Decatur will host the Washington Jaguars on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

Sixth annual OC Beach Classic this weekend By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2019) The sixth annual Ocean City Beach Classic, a two-day ultimate frisbee tournament featuring 28 teams from the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast regions, will kick off Saturday on the Somerset Street beach beginning at 9 a.m. Twenty-eight co-ed teams with players ages 16 and older from Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, D.C. and Maryland, plus one international group, the Disk Maniac Delegates from Canada, members of the United States and the Philippines, will go head-tohead during the event. Two of those teams come from Berlin, Ocean City and Bethany Beach. “I created the event with two other friends in 2013,” Organizer AJ Jacoski said. “All of us are ultimate frisbee players. We play on club teams, we lived in Ocean City and we had this amazing beach that wasn’t being utilized for ultimate and we knew everyone would love coming here to play.” A Friday night check-in will take place at Pickles Pub on Eighth Street to meet the captains and players from 8-11 p.m. Games will take place on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be two showcase games at 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The competition is free for spectators. “We encourage anyone to come watch who wants to see a dynamic, fast-

paced and explosive sport,” Jacoski said. “It’s very strategic and involves aspects of soccer, basketball and football. Also, as an amateur sport it has an extremely devoted following and many people train full-time for ultimate. It is one of the few sports that is played co-ed at a high level with men and women on the same team.” Games will be played up to 13 points or until the 45-minute time limit expires. Players cannot run with the disc and must score a point by catching a pass from their teammate in the end zone. “We also have a thing called Spirit of the Game,” Jacoski said. “There’s no referees, and players call their own fouls. Ultimate relies on sportsmanship and mutual respect among players to play by the rules and hold each other accountable.” An after-tournament party will take place at the Marina Deck on Dorchester Street. “Aside from the serious gameplay, the culture of ultimate frisbee is amazing,” Jacoski said. “People love having fun, it’s a great social outlet, it keeps us in shape, is a great outdoor activity, and there’s no better place to showcase the sport then the beach in downtown Ocean City. “Many players have told me this is their favorite tournament of the year, and this is one of the largest and most competitive field [of teams] we’ve ever

The remaining teams will compete against each other on Sunday, with preliminary games ending around 3:30 p.m. The final two teams will battle it out during the championship game at 2:30 p.m. The champion team will receive KanJams – a flying disc game played with two cans – who sponsors the event, and the runner-up group will take home new
frisbees with the Beach Classic logo. “We are extremely grateful to the Town of Ocean City and many local businesses for the support over the years,” Jacoski said.
