Jan Walker left California on foot on March 1 and arrived in Ocean City last Saturday. The 57-year-old walked every step of the way, even after being laid up in New Mexico for a month with bronchitis. The effort was to publicize incomplete walking trails connecting Sept. 11 crash sites in NYC, Washington D.C. and Virginia. See story on page 8.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) The race for Ocean City Council is on, with one last-minute candidate filing Tuesday to make it a fiveperson contest for the four seats up for election on Nov. 8. John Gehrig, D3 Corp owner and current Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce president, beat the deadline to file for election at the City Clerk’s office to end speculation that this could be the resort’s first uncontested municipal election in at least 35 years. “I’ve been in town for 20 years, and I wasn’t motivated to run before,” Gehrig said. “But over the years sitting on committees, I believe I have a fresh perspective for Ocean City.”

The incumbent council members Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, Tony DeLuca and Council Secretary Mary Knight filed for re-election as a united ticket back in January. In the 10 months since, no one has done much more than See CANDIDATE Page 5 Council candidate John Gehrig

New overtime rules loom

Prepare to be annoyed

Sweeping changes will be explained in upcoming seminar

Fall’s arrival means it’s time for road repairs and delays

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Area business owners who want to learn more about the new federal overtime regulations that go into effect on Dec. 1, can do that at a free event sponsored by the OC HotelMotel-Restaurant Association and the OC Chamber of Commerce. An overtime rules seminar will take place on Oct. 18 from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Clarion Resort

Fontainebleau Hotel, 101st Street. Starting on Dec. 1 the new Department of Labor rules will qualify more than 4 million American additional workers for overtime pay. Susan Jones, HMRA executive director, said it’s going to be a balancing act for employers, especially seasonal businesses, to abide by the updated regulations. “Every business is going to make a decision on how this impacts them,” he said. “They’re going to have to evaluate employee duties and perhaps reassign duties.” The revised rules significantly increase the compen-

sation level for exempting salaried white-collar employees from the Fair Labor Standard Act’s minimum wage and overtime pay protections. Those employed in an executive, administrative or professional capacity were previously exempted if they earned a fixed salary of less than $455 per week, or $23,660 yearly. Under the new regulations, that figure doubles to $913 per week, or $47,476 annually. Certain professionals are exempted from the rules, such as teachers, doctors and lawyers. The new DOL rules also See LABOR Page 3

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) Mark your calendars. Wednesday, Oct. 19 is not going to be an easy day to get into or out of Ocean City, because the State Highway Administration will be working on both the Harry Kelley drawbridge on Route 50 and the Route 90 bridge over Assawoman Bay simultaneously.

Route 90 down to one lane all through Oct. Continued from Page 1 The SHA categorizes both projects as routine maintenance. “The SHA will have a contractor performing routine maintenance operations on the Ocean City drawbridge … from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will consist of test openings of the bridge that should last no longer than those needed for an average vessel’s passage,” David Buck, media relations manager for SHA, said. Buck could not say how many openings would be required during the project. At the same time, crews began inspections of the Route 90 bridges over the Assawoman Bay earlier this month, and will continue to inspect the bridge on Route 90 over the St. Martin River afterwards, limiting the Ocean City’s other main ingress/egress point to one lane at certain times of the day. The remaining, unencumbered routes on and off the island are both at the extreme northern end: Route 54 and Coastal Highway. The only days work won’t be taking place on the bridge are Oct. 14 and Oct. 17, due to Corvette Weekend, Buck said. But weekdays from today until Oct. 21 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., only one lane will be allowed to pass at a time as a flagging operation limits traffic flow as the inspection continues. Following the weekend of Oct. 22-23, work will continue a bit west of where it was, as crews work on inspecting the bridge over the St. Martin River between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Oct. 28. Flaggers will give priority to emergency vehicles during lane closures, Buck said.

Labor rules seminar this Tuesday Continued from Page 1 establish mechanisms for automatically updating salary and compensation levels every three years. The DOL last updated the white-collar overtime compensation rules in 2004. Annemarie Dickerson, who owns the Francis Scott Key Family Resort in West Ocean City, said her staff is less than enthused with the changes. “The employees are hating the new law,” she said. Dickerson said several longtime salaried workers might have to start clocking in and out beginning in December. “It’s a loss of flexibility,” she said. “It could cause dissention if you have to punch a clock.” She anticipates that the pay regulations will affect her business operations, since more than two dozen people are employed 40 hours year-

round, despite the seasonal nature of the area. “I’d be lying if I said my July was the same as November,” she said. “We give them flexibility for scheduling, especially in the offseason.”

‘It’s a loss of flexibility. It could cause dissention if you have to punch a clock.’ Annemarie Dickerson While admitting the changes are warranted in some instances, Dickerson said she is primarily concerned that the new regulations are a blanket rule without provisions for seasonal towns. “I do believe there are situations

where people were taken advantage of, but it’s a big jump and a pretty significant hike,” she said. “I think $47,000 is a huge number to go from $23,000.” To help those attending the seminar dissect the new regulations, representatives from the State Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation will field questions. Also on hand will be attorneys Doug Desmarais and Kerstin Miller, with the law firm Smith & Downey, which specializes in employee benefits, executive compensation and human resource law. Interested parties can pre-register for the seminar by visiting the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce website, oceancity.org, and selecting the events tab. Registration the day of the seminar begins at 8:45 a.m. at the Clarion.

Candidate concerned about unified voice of incumbents Continued from Page 1 hint at a possible run, and even then there wasn’t much seriousness attached. Gehrig’s candidacy changed all that. “What struck me was that the incumbents, who I respect, filed together as one voice. But they’re not. They’re four people with four voices. I have a voice, and I have ideas on Ocean City, particularly on balancing tourism and quality of life for residents,” Gehrig said. Knight and Cymek have been on the dais the longest, serving since 2006 and 2008 respectively. Dare had held the city manager position for 21 years before he was dismissed by the then council and returned to City Hall as a councilman in 2012 by winning the largest vote total that election cycle. DeLuca has served for the past two years, completing the term off former Councilman Joe Mitrecic, who vacated his seat for his successful county commissioner bid in 2014. Gehrig’s filing broke with tradition

in that the end of summer usually signals the start of Ocean City’s election season. In the 2014 election, Councilmen Wayne Hartman and Lloyd Martin filed for their seats in the last week of September. While several candidates file late in the game, including Mayor Rick Meehan, Gehrig is the first this late in recent memory. Gehrig is the CEO of web development company D3 Corp and has been a member of the Ocean City business community for several years. He received the Chamber’s Business Person of the Year award in 2013. “People are going to say ‘I’m a businessman,’ and well, Ocean City is a business. I believe I will bring a fiscal mindset to the council,” Gehrig said. He has also been active in several local organizations, including Ocean City Development Corporation and the local Paramedics Foundation. Gehrig also sits on the city’s Tourism Commission and is the vicechairman of the Tourism Advisory Board.

Time running out for IAFF petition to appear on ballot

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) With the Nov. 8 Ocean City election less than four weeks away, time is running out for the local firefighters union to put binding arbitration on the ballot this year. In the last four months, members of the Chapter 4269 of the International Association of Fire Fighters have been collecting signatures on a petition calling for a referendum on whether IAFF members should have binding interest

arbitration added to their contract with the city. The time crunch is because of the two requirements a petition to referendum must meet: 20 percent of the city’s registered voters must sign it and the signers of the petition must be verified as eligible voters by the Ocean City Board of Elections. At the moment, there are 5,766 registered voters in the resort. Although there is no official cut-off time to submit a petition, the board’s See SIGNATURE Page 6

Signature verification takes time Continued from Page 5 authentication process creates a practical deadline of early October. “We have to verify the signatures and that takes up to two and a half, three weeks,” said Board of Elections Chairwoman Mary Adeline Bradford. The process involves checking every signature through the board’s information of registered Ocean City voters. Small inaccuracies in the information, like a “junior” missing in a signature, can delay the fact-checking. The Board of Elections also has to check the petition to be sure no voter signed the document more than once. For example, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10’s petition to obtain collective bargaining with binding arbitration in 2001 received 1,738 signatures. The board determined that, of that total, two were triplicate, 69 were duplicates, 195 were signatures of non-registrants

and one was invalid. The board found the remaining 1,471 signatures to be valid, meeting the 20 percent requirement. Resort residents voted to award the FOP collective bargaining rights in 2002, in a 1,090 to 927 tally. After examining the petition, the Board of Elections has to present its findings to the mayor and City Council. If the signature requirements are met, the council would then pass a resolution to amend the charter and authorize a referendum ballot. “The fire union’s petition has not been formally submitted to us,” Bradford said. “And nothing can show up on the ballot unless we can validate the number of signatures.” IAFF local chapter president Ryan Whittington was unavailable for comment as of press time Wednesday. The fire union has sought binding ar-

bitration since June, weeks before the city’s three-year contract rolled out. The agreement, which included a major revision of the duty schedule, was passed by the council over the objections of the union. The new schedule calls for a 12 hours on, 48-hours off plan, instead of the longstanding 24 hours on duty followed by 72 hours off-duty. Negotiations broke down in March, leaving the resort’s 12-48 schedule as the “best and final” offer on the table. Shortly thereafter, the IAFF lodged a formal labor practice complaint against the town. Ocean City responded officially a week later. Even if binding interest arbitration does not appear on the ballot for the election, that does not mean the end of the discussion. The council could hold a special election, if it chooses, should the referendum petition succeed.

Three more jailed for involvement in Boardwalk melee Five remain to appear in court following July incident

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Three people who were charged for their roles in the Boardwalk melee in July were sentenced to 30 days in jail last Thursday in Ocean City District Court. Steven Gowen Williams, 20, Jiare Darden, 21, both of Baltimore, and Nickolet Serrano, 19, of Beltsville, Maryland pleaded not guilty to charges related to confrontations with police at night on July 23 and shortly after midnight on July 24. The July 23 incident was sparked by Kevin Rustin of Silver Spring, who kicked and threw a trashcan near 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue and then punched an officer and attempted to head-butt another while resisting arrest. Rustin pleaded guilty in August and was given 10 days in jail, a $557 fine, and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. Darden was charged in that incident with interfering with an arrest and disorderly conduct as he attempted to pull a friend out of the grasp of Ocean City police officer Cpl. See LATE Page 7

Walker wraps up U.S. hike in OC to promote Sept. 11 Trail Half-year-long cross-country walk raises awareness for plans to connect crash sites By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) After a half year on the road, the aptly named Jan Walker trekked into Ocean City last Saturday completing her cross-country hike to raise awareness and money for the September 11th National Memorial Trail. The nonprofit National Memorial Trail Alliance was established in 2004 to create a pathway linking Sept. 11 memorials at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed.

“I thought it was cool idea and since it was 9/11, it would be recognizable wherever I went,” she said. “Their number one priority was more for getting awareness than it was for donations. That’s why you won’t see me harping on donations.” When Walker, 57, began contemplating a walking tour of the nation, she looked for a good cause for incentive and inspiration. “If you’re doing it for somebody else or something else, you’ll tend to not quit because you don’t want to let them down,” she said. “So, basically, you use the charity as your motivation to keep going.” When researching charities, Walker’s selection process was based on three criteria: She had to believe in the cause, it had to have national

Jan Walker stands at the firefighters’ memorial on the Ocean City Boardwalk last Saturday, ending her walk journey which launched on March 1 from Oceanside, California to help publicize continuing work to complete a September 11th National Memorial Trail connecting crash sites in New York City, Washington D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

recognition, and it could not spend more than 20 percent of its money on administrative costs. After compiling a list of 10 organizations, Walker was less than enthused with the responses. “I contacted them all and basically they said, ‘That’s nice, thank you for thinking of us, send us the money when you’re done,’” she said. “I didn’t want to do it that way. I wanted to actually be one of their representatives to promote their cause, not just have my hand out going across the country.” Frustrated after that experience, Walker was delighted to learn about September 11th National Memorial Trail effort. “Both my husband and I are avid trail hikers,” she said. “This appealed to me because the 911 Trail is sort of a patchwork of existing things and famous trails like Alleghany Passage.” Walker said Facebook provided her with information about the cause and helped motivate her to become more active in its effort. “I had kind of been floundering a little bit and not getting out and doing much,” she said. That changed when she stumbled upon a picture posted on Facebook by See JAN Page 10

throughout the week. Movies on the Beach are held on Mondays and Fridays, Family Olympics is hosted on Tuesday, a free concert on the Caroline Street stage is held on Wednesday, Sunset Park Party Nights is on Thursdays and Sundaes in the Park concert and firework show is on Sundays. In recent years, a second movie on the beach event has been added on Wednesdays outside the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. The council also inked a deal with Bob Rothermel of TEAM productions in recent years to stage several laser light and fireworks shows along the Boardwalk in the summer. With new events joining the old, Special Event Superintendent Frank Miller suggested it was time to launch a more in-depth study. “Orignally, we wanted to put valueadded events to drum up additional business even if the weekends didn’t need it,” he said. “But at some point, the value added events are not an attraction, they’re a distraction.” “We need further discussion on this, where we go back to the fundamentals and the objectives of what we’re trying to do with these events.” The possibility of combining events is not completely off the table, but the recreation staff told the commission that new factors would be at play, such as increased staff presence and in turn increase the cost. The recreation staff had brainstormed ideas for additional games, but Gaddis was doubtful that it would draw in more people. “We also talked about adding a sporting event, but that’s specific. You don’t need a specific ability level to play silly games [likes Family Olympics],” she said. Council President Lloyd Martin commended the Recreation and Parks staff for its work and said it was time to focus on maintaining the current free events. “People are actively involved and come back year after year for these, and we’re trying to do better and that’s a good thing,” Martin said. “It’s great that we want to add more, but we have to promote what the town has.”

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Ocean City’s free summer events have drawn good crowds, but Ocean City’s recreation officials are still considering how to get the most bang for their buck in terms of expenses and business revenue. During Tuesday’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting, resort officials examined the expense reports on two free events, the Family Beach Olympics and Movies on the Beach. Family Beach Olympics, which include sandcastle contests, tug-of-war and relay races cost $674.55 to host for six days or $112 per day. Attendance numbers show 100 to 200 people per event, with roughly 25 families participating. Family Beach Olympics runs every summer, from late June to midAugust on the beach near 27th Street. “That main cost is in staffing,” Recreation Superintendent Kate Gaddis said. “We already use the equipment we have and we solicit donations for prizes.” Resort officials hope these free events give visitors additional value that leads to a more enjoyable time for them, which translates into a boost for the local economy. “It’s a low cost to advertise this, and local businesses take advantage of it,” Gaddis said. She added that the staff considered some changes that might be made while staying in the budget, but decided that nothing would be likely to cause an increase in the crowd size. “It’s at a perfect size right now. Any larger and it would be unmanageable,” she said. “We would be open to the idea of combining it with another city event.” On the other hand, Movies on the Beach, which is an outdoor showing of a film at the 27th Street Beach from June to August, has a higher cost at $5,345.68. “The main costs here are in staffing and in leasing the movie, since if you show a movie in public then you have to purchase a lease,” Gaddis said. “We’re showing 14 movies overall.” Attendance for this weekly event is anywhere between 150 and 350, depending on the weather and the film being shown. These are just two of the multiple events Ocean City started hosting years ago to provide visiting families with some free fun

Council questions cost breakdown of guides By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) The City Council on Tuesday unanimously supported renewing a two-year agreement to support the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce’s annual vacation guide publication, but not before sorting through how that support shows up on the books. The “See for Yourself” vacation guide, which provides information on local businesses and sightseeing spots, has been a joint venture between the town’s Tourism Department and the chamber of commerce since 2014. That’s when the city and the chamber reached an agreement to merge their separate marketing publications into one and to apportion some of the costs to each entity. Under their agreement, Ocean City would pay for 25 percent of the distribution and postage costs at $20,000 and buy $16,620 in advertising. The chamber would have sole responsibility for other aspects of the

publication. What Councilman Wayne Hartman wanted to know was why two separate budget entries were required to pay the total $36,620 going from the city’s treasury to the chamber. As Hartman pointed out, the $16,620 comes out of resort government’s advertising fund, which is generated by the room tax, while the $20,000 is drawn from the property tax-supported general fund. Tourism and Marketing Director Donna Abbott agreed with the councilman’s point. “Everything my department does is marketing,” she said. “But I guess there’s been discussion in the past years that this [the $20,000] would not be specifically used as a room tax expenditure, according to our guidelines of destination marketing.”

Mayor Rick Meehan also shared in some of the confusion. “I thought that’s where the money was coming from. Why don’t we ask the city manager to look into that?” Hartman suggested tabling the vote until a definitive answer could be found, but Councilman Dennis Dare said the council’s debate was becoming more complicated than it needed to be. As Dare explained, the city’s room tax revenue is 4.5 percent of the rental or lodging bill. Of that, a percentage is dedicated to the resort’s advertising budget and the balance goes into the general fund. “So you could make an argument that it’s [the total bill] being paid by room tax either way. It’s just which one you want to account for,” he said. According to the ordinance that created the room tax contribution to

(Oct. 14, 2016) The Ocean City Convention and Visitors Bureau and one of its partners, Ocean City’s Boardwalk Hotel Group, were recently awarded two titles by HotelPlanner.com and the American Bus Association. The CVB received word from HotelPlanner.com, which specializes in online group hotel bookings, that Ocean City made this year’s Top 10 Most Group-Friendly Beach Cities list. To add to the excitement, Ocean City’s Boardwalk Hotel Group won the American Bus Association’s 2016 “Best of the Best” award. “Ocean City is a popular group destination and receiving two notable awards is evidence to the hard work and dedication of our tourism department and partners in our hotel community,” Ocean City Tourism Director Donna Abbott said. “We strive to make Ocean City a great group travel destination, with group friendly hotel rates and tour packages. Having Ocean City recognized by two travel specialists gives us great pride and makes us eager to continue providing great service and specials for our group travelers.” The Boardwalk Hotel Group’s award can be found in the “Best of the Best” special section in the September/October issue of Destination Magazine. In addition, Ocean City’s CVB award can be found online.

the advertising budget, the split is 44 percent to advertising and 56 percent to the general fund. With city’s share of the room tax coming in at roughly $14 million a year, the advertising budget gets $6 million and the general fund receives $8 million. “Then it’s whether (these expenditures) should come out of the $6 million or the $8 million,” Dare said. To end the discussion, Councilwoman Mary Knight moved to accept the two-year agreement and pay the $20,000 from the general fund and $16,620 from the advertising budget. Hartman was not completely sold on the idea on leaving the payment method open-ended, but agreed to the temporary fix. “As long as by budget time we’re going to address this, then that’s fine,” he said to the council.

Volunteers sought during Fire Prevention Month Training time of 200 hours called significant hurdle to ongoing recruitment efforts

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) The challenge of recruiting volunteer firefighters became the focus during a proclamation presentation commemorating October as National Fire Prevention Month at the Worcester County Commissioners meeting last Tuesday. County Fire Marshall Jeff McMahon said area fire agencies are finding

it difficult to fill their rosters with volunteers. “I know fire companies are out doing the best they can to recruit all ages,” he said. “Not just young, but all ages.” Commission Vice President Merrill Lockfaw said with recent news about the loss of two firemen in Delaware, the risk is real and the sacrifice potentially life-ending. “I just hope that the community recognizes all these people involved in fire service,” he said. “What they do and the time that they give their communities.” Lockfaw said because firefighters

must undergo approximately 200 hours of training, that time demand often conflicts with other aspects of modern life. “Each fire department is now suffering for a lack of membership because of the time that it takes,” he said. “It’s almost like volunteer firemen are becoming an endangered species.” Lockfaw said the need to attract volunteer firefighters has become critical in numerous communities. “Every time you see one of these people in the fire service, thank them for what they do,” he said. “It’s very dear to my heart after 40 some years

in fire service.” Besides working the front lines to douse flames, Lockfaw said firefighters also visit schools to talk to students about fire prevention. “I know my grandchild comes home and talks about all the things that they’ve learned,” he said. “Here in Worcester County, some of the fire statistics have gone down because of what our children learn from these individuals.” McMahon said the limited manpower problem has caused companies to depend on each other for support in some circumstances. “Yesterday, we had a fire in Snow Hill which brought six fire companies to the area,” he said. “One of the problems we have is a manpower problem because our fire service is volunteer. It took those five fire companies, with their limited manpower, to put out an apartment fire that had spread to a second apartment in the building.” The challenge of diminishing volunteerism is not unique to fire companies, McMahon said. “It’s really hard to recruit, retain, and keep somebody,” he said.

Worcester Warriors to launch treatment program Anti-opiate group will open office in Berlin, work toward volunteer effort for addicts

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) Six months ago, two mothers who had watched their children struggle with heroin addiction stood in a conference room in the Ocean Pines Library with about 50 strangers during what was the first meeting of their new group, the Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction. Information was exchanged, tearful stories were told and a larger discussion was started by founders Jackie Ball and Heidi McNeeley about what can people do to help friends and family members struggling with addiction. A month later, during the group’s second meeting, attendance had swelled to nearly 300, partially because a series of fatal overdoses in the area drove even more people to ask that same question. By this time, delegates and senators had gotten involved, along with local law enforcement, officials from local schools, and several workers from the Worcester County Health Department. During the next four monthly meetings, held at different locations

in Ocean City and Berlin, the group continued to host new speakers, introduce several subcommittees and work toward solutions to what had locally been termed an epidemic – heroin addiction. McNeeley said she never expected her little group would grab so much attention from the public. “When we had our first meeting, basically my thought was I’m just going to invite people to come to the library and we’ll sit around and talk and see who has experienced this and what we can do as a group to support each other,” she said. “Every day I’m just amazed. The community response has just been incredible.” On Sept. 25, the Warriors held their first fundraiser, dubbed “Rock for Recovery,” at Trader Lees in Ocean City. More than $4,000 was raised for a new program called “Warrior Angels.” Heidi’s husband, Jamie McNeeley, helped organize the event and gathered dozens of items donated by local businesses for a silent auction. “[Money] that came in from the fundraiser are earmarked specifically to help somebody get into treatment,” McNeeley said. “We have this new committee that’s part of our group that’s modeled after a program that was in Boston, Massachusetts – and there’s also one in Maine called Operation Hope – and it’s partnering

with the police department and other community organizations to help somebody who’s addicted.” The idea, she said, is to get someone help as soon as possible once they have decided they’re ready for it. “Once you’ve gone through the phone call and the waiting and all the doors have been closed in your face, eventually you just kind of give up, especially if you’re addicted. If you’re addicted, your brain isn’t equipped to deal with that,” McNeeley said. “The Warrior Angels will meet them where they are.” More than 20 people have already volunteered for the new committee, McNeeley said, and each will receive training based on the Operation Hope program. “They’ll go through volunteer training, and then they’ll respond and they’ll act like a case manager,” McNeeley said. “If, for example, a police officer calls me and says, ‘I have somebody here at Atlantic General Hospital,’ if I’m on call, I go to Atlantic General Hospital and I talk to them and work to find them treatment. I know who will accept their insurance, I know who doesn’t require insurance, and I’m making all those phone calls.” If a volunteer finds a treatment center in Florida that accepts a particular type of insurance, the Warrior Angel program will cover the cost of

the plane ticket to get there, McNeeley said. “That money’s going to get someone to treatment, or to help pay for their treatment if their insurance doesn’t,” Jamie McNeeley said. McNeeley said volunteer training would be minimal, and that the group is still working with local law enforcement to coordinate specifics of the program. Ocean Pines Police Det. Tish Ottey will chair the committee. The Warriors’ next regular meeting is Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Stephen Decatur High School. McNeeley said future meetings would likely also be held at the school. Although attendance had dipped slightly during recent meetings, Jamie McNeeley said he expects that to change with school coming back in session. “Hopefully we’ll start getting a bigger crowd than the last few,” he said. “During the summer there weren’t a whole lot of people just because it’s summer.” The Warriors are eyeing a second fundraiser, to be held at Lighthouse Sound in January, and a new website is in development, thanks to a donation from D3Corp. On Wednesday, McNeeley signed a lease to rent office space inside the Berlin Visitor’s Center on 14 South Main Street. See NEXT Page 16

POLICE/COURTS

Credit card theft Dianna Butler, 46, of Ocean City was arrested and charged on Oct. 6 for stealing two debit card numbers. Police said she stole them from customers while she was waitressing in Ocean City this summer. According to police, Ocean City detectives received a complaint from a local restaurant manager about fraudulent charges being made to customers’ debit cards. Police reported Butler was the server for two groups of people who called to complain about fraudulent charges related to their visit to the restaurant. When police interviewed Butler, she admitted to writing down the debit card numbers and using them to pay for customer bills that paid in cash. She would then, allegedly, pocket the cash. From July 1-7, a total of $450.69 was stolen from the two debit cards.

Butler was charged with two counts of identity fraud, credit card fraud, two counts of theft, two counts of credit card theft and theft scheme.

Collison with injuries Maryland State Police responded to an incident on Route 12 near West Hills Drive on Oct. 9 after Claude Johnson, 62, of Parksley, Virginia, failed to see posted traffic barricade advising of a road closure. Police reported Johnson collided with the reflective, plastic drum barricade before hitting construction materials that were also being used to block the roadway. Maryland Route 12 has been closed for the past week because of last weekend’s rainstorm that washed away the southbound roadway in the stretch between Salisbury and Snow Hill. The pick-up truck did not strike any

of the construction vehicles or come into contact with the washed away roadway. Johnson was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. He was charged with failing to obey properly placed traffic control device instructions and negligent driving.

Heroin arrest Randolph Main, 44, Barbara Miller, 56, and Wendy Spaziani, 35, all of Ocean City, were arrested on Oct. 6 for possession of heroin. Ocean City police officers were working undercover when they saw a car driving on Coastal Highway with no reflective glass in either side view mirror and were told Main may be involved in a theft case, which led to police surveillance of the car. According to the report, police followed the car to Selbyville, watched

Main purchase heroin in the middle of the road and continued to tail the car back to Ocean City. Once in Ocean City, police pulled the car over for the equipment violations and asked Main about his witnessed drug deal, the report stated. Police reported Main admitted to completing the drug transaction. They were told the heroin was hidden in Millers’ pants, and a total of nine bags were seized. A search of the car uncovered a syringe and a burnt metal spoon with residue on it, the report stated.

Route 90 crash On Tuesday afternoon, there was a collision on Route 90 in the construction zone. All individuals involved in the crash refused medical treatment from Ocean City Emergency Medical Services and traffic was shut down for approximately 30 minutes to clear the scene.

Suspended license Danielle Aker, 35, of Pocomoke City, was arrested and charged with driving a vehicle without a driver’s license and driving a car on a suspended license on Oct. 3. Police reported to Route 90 after noticing Aker driving on a suspended Virginia driver’s license. She was arrested shortly after leaving district court.

Next Worcester Warriors meeting slated for Oct. 27 Continued from Page 15 “Really what proceeded everything is we wanted to have a physical space where a mom who has just found out that her child’s doing heroin can walk in the door and have somebody to talk to, and have brochures from different treatment options,” McNeeley said. “We’ve talked to so many parents who have had doors shut on them. They need to know, if this door’s shut here’s something else. To have a physical space would be incredible.” For more information on the Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction, email McNeeley at heidi.anne@verizon.net, visit www.wocowarriors.org, or search “Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction” on Facebook.

Berlin vandal back in district court for probation violation Records show Denton failed to submit to drug, alcohol tests; hearing set for Dec.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) Jordan Denton, the eldest of three young people convicted for their involvement in the January 2015 overnight spray painting spree that caused thousands of dollars in damage to Berlin residents’ cars and town facilities, is scheduled to return to district court in December for allegedly violating her probation. According to court documents, Denton failed to submit to drug and alcohol screenings and pay the associated costs. This condition of her probation was added back in June, when a new deal was struck between the state and Denton, after a previous probationary hearing. Court records show Denton tested positive for alcohol and marijuana use on Aug. 9, the second time she’s failed this particular screening while on probation. She then failed to show for treatment twice in August and six times in September. The last instance, on Sept. 23, court records show Denton is charged with a “behavioral positive” test by not providing a sample for the lab to examine, missing treatment and hanging up on her probation officer when contacted.

The case is scheduled for a hearing in district court on Dec. 9. In June, Denton appeared in court for a suspected violation of probation reached as part of the plea deal in the original case. Denton was originally sentenced to two years’ probation and fined, and was ordered to compose a letter of apology to the town and to perform 150 hours of community service within Berlin. Though dubious of the claim Denton and her accomplices made that there were no places in Berlin to complete their community service, Judge Gerald Purnell nonetheless accepted the new agreement. Gone was the requirement to perform community service in Berlin, but the timeline to complete the community service was shortened from the end of her probationary period in June 2017, to six months, or early December. Denton, 19, was also required to abstain from alcohol and abusive use of any drug. She also was ordered to submit to alcohol and drug screening as directed by her probation supervisor and consent to any treatment, testing or evaluation mandated by the probation supervisor as part of their probation. No accounting of the amount of restitution made or amount of community service completed was available. Berlin Town Administrator Laura Allen confirmed Denton submitted the apology letter in February 2016.

(Oct. 14, 2016) Police officers representing agencies throughout Maryland gathered at the BWI Airport Marriott Hotel in Linthicum on Sept. 8 to be recognized for their distinctive contributions to highway safety in Maryland. The 2016 Maryland Traffic Safety Specialist (TSS) Awards Luncheon acknowledged law en- Pfc. Nathan Kutz forcement officers who have attained exceptional levels of experience, training and proficiency in highway safety and traffic enforcement methods and procedures. Pfc. Nathan Kutz of the Ocean City Police Department was recognized as a 2016 TSS Award Recipient. The TSS Designation is awarded by the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions (MPCTC), and the program is open to all police officers, deputy sheriffs and

state troopers from all Maryland law enforcement agencies, and to certain Federal law enforcement agencies. Approximately 1,000 officers are currently enrolled in the program. “Pfc. Kutz’s dedication to traffic safety in Ocean City is unmatched and he is without a doubt worthy of this state-wide award,” Chief Ross Buzzuro said. “Our roadways truly are safer thanks to Pfc. Kutz’s tenacity and hard work.” “Clearly these award recipients epitomize the spirit of the TSS program,” said Thomas J. Gianni, Chief of the Maryland Highway Safety Office. “Effective traffic enforcement translates to fewer crashes, fewer injuries and fewer deaths on our roadways. Traffic safety is public safety, and we congratulate the awardees on their very distinguished achievement.” The TSS program is a collaborative project of the Maryland Highway Safety Office, the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association, the Maryland Sheriff’s Association, and the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions. The Maryland Highway Safety Office funds the program through a grant.

Craft beer linked with October in Worcester Commissioners designate month to celebrate regional microbreweries and tourism

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Lovers of high quality suds can break out the mugs and growlers as the Worcester County Commissioners have again declared October to be Shore Craft Beer Month. This year’s highlights include Octoberfest celebrations on Oct. 15 in Berlin and Snow Hill, as well as the second annual Shore Craft Beer Festival on Oct. 29 at Ocean City’s Sunset Park, South Division Street, bayside. Speaking at the commissioners on Oct. 4, Ann Hillyer, who launched shorecraftbeer.com two years ago, said the site aims to market area microbreweries to a larger audience. “When we started this two years ago, there were 19 breweries on the shore. There are now 26,” she said. “It’s a growing industry.” Based on 2014 statistics from the Brewers Association, Hillyer said three quarters of this nation’s drinking age residents live within 10 miles of a brewery. Danny Robinson, owner of Backshore Brewery, 10th Street and the Boardwalk, said last October’s inau-

gural Shore Craft Beer Festival exceeded expectations, with approximately 500 people going to Sunset Park to sample local products. “The interest in craft beer and craft breweries in Ocean City is great,” he said. “It’s another opportunity for tourists to do something different.” Although this year’s event will be in the same location, Robinson envisions that might change in short order. “It’s a great little spot down there in Sunset Park but I think we’re going to quickly outgrow it,” he said. “I eventually see it being an inlet event.” Vince Wright, brew master and suds supervisor at Fin City in West Ocean City, praised the work by Hillyer and her team to produce the last year’s festival and said he hopes the even stays in the park. “My wife, and assistant brewer, Michele, and I participate in a lot of festivals in our market and the Shore Craft Beer Festival at Sunset Park last year was one of our favorites,” he said. “I hope we never have this event move to another venue because Sunset Park, which overlooks the Assawoman Bay from the ocean side, is, in my opinion, the perfect setting for us to celebrate our craft.” The financial impact associated with the craft beer movement is undeniable, Hillyer said, with the top 40 percent of U.S. wage earners consum-

ing 60 percent of the microbrews produced nationally. To her delight, Hillyer has found Ocean City a fruitful market to promote “beercations,” noting that 75 percent of attendees at last year’s Shore Craft Beer Festival were from out of town. “We’re selling a lot of hotel packages around the festivals that we are doing,” she said. “Craft beer is tourism, it actually draws people.” Although her efforts to create hotel packages specifically for folks who love to tip a pint have been rebuffed in Wicomico County, Hillyer has found a more receptive audience in Worcester. “The town has embraced this effort and hotels are understanding the value,” she said. “Wicomico hotels won’t put packages together.” Robinson said many craft beer consumers are attracted by the interactive experiences offered at microbreweries. “It’s not just a restaurant where you sit down and order off the menu and you’re done,” he said. “You go in there, you learn about the process, you talk to the people, and it’s kind of like an immersive experience.” Still, Robinson said he continues to be pleasantly surprised by the growing appeal of microbreweries for tourists.

“Technically, a brewery is a manufacturing plant,” he said. “How often do people say, ‘Hey, I can’t wait to visit that manufacturing plant’ on their vacation.” Wright said sharing his creative barley and hops concoctions with eager consumers makes beer festivals more fun than work. “This is a great local community of craft-loving enthusiasts who are eager to sample our creations,” he said. “At just about every festival, people tell me, ‘I wish I had your job,’ and my response to them is always the same, ‘To me, this is not a job.’” Statewide the industry has grown at a significant and steady clip, Hillyer said, with Maryland craft beer sales increasing 35 percent each year for the last five. She also noted the industry generated $652 million in statewide economic activity, ranking Maryland 23rd nationally. Pennsylvania ranks 2nd nationally, with craft beer sales of $4.49 billion. It also consumes nearly ten times the volume of craft beer per capita at 13.4 gallons, compared to 1.5 gallons per Marylander. “Craft beer drinkers who consume at home will consume craft beer while on vacation,” she said. “If we become the destination for craft beer, we will attract tourism that is See MULTIPLE Page 21

OC’s Trimper’s Rides receives award from State Arts Council Exemplifies ‘place’ category that embodies and conveys Maryland’s cultural heritage

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) Each year since 2007, the Maryland State Arts Council, through its Maryland Traditions program, names a person or group, a place and a tradition that embody and help to safeguard Maryland’s living cultural heritage. This year, Trimper’s Rides and Amusements was selected as the place that best exemplifies how a sense of place also conveys a cultural touchstone for Marylanders. “We were shocked — we didn’t really know about the award,” said Stephanie Trimper Lewis, vice president of Trimper’s and great-grandchild of Daniel and Margaret Trimper, who established the company in 1893. Earlier this year, Trimper’s was confirmed to be the oldest familyowned amusement park in the nation. “I wish my father were still here — he’d be so proud,” Lewis said. Granville Trimper died in 2008. “I saw the past honorees, and the Sharptown Fireman’s Carnival won — and that’s especially cool for us, because that’s where mom and dad met.” She said her father’s family used to do the carnival circuit, and Granville was there with his Ferris wheel, and Joanne’s father ran a service station in the area. “It’s a neat coincidence,” she said. The award affirms a constant struggle between past and present at Trimper’s. “We get comments that the amusements are dated, or the entire Boardwalk concept is dated — that’s confusing to use because history is what it’s all about. We don’t want to be dated, but we do want to be traditional in the eyes of our customers,” she said. Plus, reacting to these criticisms sometimes draws even more fire.

“If we do change something we get lots of email — it’s tough to modernize without complaint,” Lewis said. “The best compliments we get are multi-generational ones, when someone says their grandmom put them on this ride, and here they are today doing the same. It’s not always the most profitable decision, but, for us, it’s an easy one to make.” Chad Buterbaugh is a director of Maryland Traditions and the program director for folk and traditional arts in the state. “We found they are an outstanding steward of traditional folk and culture — they’re known to most people in the state,” he said. Also, he said, Trimper’s Rides and Amusements is a center for traditional activities including food, rides and family involvement. Buterbaugh said it might be easy to explore one or two facets of what makes it special, but becomes much more difficult when taken as a whole. “There’s just so much going on there,” he said. “We’ve honored much of southern Maryland in the past because of hunting traditions, this gives us a way to look at the broader notion of place.” The awards will be given during a ceremony Nov. 11 in Silver Spring. Honored as a person who exemplifies the state’s cultural heritage was Chum Ngek of Montgomery. Ngek is a traditional Cambodian musician who has performed at the Smithsonian Institution, Kennedy Center and whose work has reached an estimated 30,000 Cambodians in the region. As for honoring a state tradition, farmers in western Maryland’s Appalachian region wait for rare conditions that allow for the production of maple syrup. “The night must be below freezing, but the days must be above. The wind must come from the north or west but not the south or east. This knowledge exemplifies the sort of folk wisdom, passed from generation to generation, that is necessary for a successful harvest,” a press release announcing the awards reads.

Multiple celebrations on tap for beer lovers in Worcester Continued from Page 20 going to other states now.” From Robinson’s perspective the growing impact of the microbrew industry to the area economy is not surprising as the shore provides an ideal locale for breweries to ply their trade. “There are so many things that are perfect for the brewing industry on the Eastern Shore,” he said. “We’re smack in the middle of several metropolitan areas so we can source materials and equipment easily.” This Saturday beer lovers can dou-

ble their pleasure with Octoberfest celebrations in Snow Hill from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Berlin from noon to 6 p.m. The second annual Shore Craft Beer Festival is scheduled for Oct. 29 from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Sunset Park in Ocean City. General admission tickets are available for early bird purchase for $25. Closer to the event, the price increases to $35. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit shorecraftbeerfest.com.

OCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dine Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign to go national By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) With $44,000 raised to benefit local education, health and financial programs, United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore is looking to duplicate the success of its Dine United OC competition elsewhere in the state. During last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development Committee meeting, United Way Executive Director Kathleen MommĂŠ announced that the restaurant fundraiser will be expanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean City is a role model, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take this nationwide,â&#x20AC;?

she said during the breakfast meeting at the Carousel on Oct. 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dine United will soon be in Cambridge and in Salisbury next month.â&#x20AC;? The Dine United campaign, which was collaboration with the Hotel Motel Restaurant Association, asked resort restaurants to donate a portion of sales from designated specials to United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore. Those proceeds went to support United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 72 programs that assist lower shore residents through various other programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year was amazing in Ocean City. What happened was something we were never able to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; look toward the tourism business and the restaurants,â&#x20AC;? MommĂŠ said. The idea for the Dine United competition originated with The Embers

Restaurant and Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar Vice President Cole Taustin, who is on the United Way Board of Directors. In the end, 25 restaurants participated in the fundraiser. The competition ran from June 15 and Ran through Labor Day. Awards for the most successful campaigns were given during a Sept. 29 banquet at the Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar near 24th Street and were based on seating capacity. Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen on 66th Street won top overall and promotional specials winner in the 0-150 seating capacity with $5,100 raised. It accomplished that by giving $1 from every check plus donation cans. In the 150-300 seating category, Happy Jack Pancake House off 26th Street won overall and promotional specials winner, garnering $2,640 from specialty menu items, donation cans and a vendor match from Eastern Shore Coffee & Water. Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harbor Watch at the inlet, in the 300-600 seating capacity category, won an award for internal promotions and top overall, raising $6,815 with drink specials and a vendor match. In the 600-plus capacity category, the Emberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant on 23rd Street took home an award for internal promotions, including a drink

special, which earned $2,196. The overall winner in that category was Seacrets on 49th Street, which raised $3,579 through a strong employee giving campaign and a cornhole tournament fundraiser. The most creative fundraiser award was won by Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar. The restaurant encouraged competition between staff to sell the items with incentives for employees and offered a raffle for customers. Although the campaign fell slightly short of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of $50,000, MommĂŠ said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the way this town thinks, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take it to the next step, not just dining. Next summer, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be launching Stay United and a percentage of every room will go to United Way for helping critical programs in this area.â&#x20AC;?

Bernie Flax, pictured with her son, Eric, and husband, Don, prior to a Ravens game, views the Homes For Heroes program as an opportunity to pay it forward.

Exit Realty works to discount home purchases for heroes Firefighters, military, EMS, healthcare workers, police eligible for special prices

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Exit Realty At the Beach in Ocean Pines joined the national Homes For Heroes program this summer after owner Bernie Flax learned about and identified with the mission. “I was at an EXIT Regional Owners meeting and met Abby Waltz, a Homes For Heroes representative,” she said. Established in 2002, Homes for Heroes provides substantial savings on property purchases to people who provide or have provided extraordinary service to the nation and its communities. Homes for Heroes is available to current or former firefighters, law enforcement officials, the military (active, reserve and veterans) healthcare and emergency services workers, as well as educators. It can provide savings for those buying, selling or refinancing property. Flax said her motivation for affiliating with Homes For Heroes stems from her son Eric, 45, who was born with cerebral palsy. “Abby shared her story of why she got involved and the program gave me the perfect way to pay it forward to many the folks who have touched my family in my life,” she said. “It’s taken a whole lot of people to help me raise my son.” For those meeting qualifying criteria, both Flax and Exit Realty Sales Representative Ann Holtz will donate

30 percent of their commission after closing to the Homes For Heroes program. “They send 25 percent of it to the “Hero” and five percent goes to the Homes For Heroes Foundation fund,” she said. Participants are required to work with a Homes for Heroes affiliated real estate agent to be eligible to receive a Hero Reward check after closing. Founded in Minnesota, Homes for Heroes Inc. is the brainchild of current CEO Ruth Johnson, who was assisted by family members Kacy Mlenar, Helen Johnson and Mark Micek in trademarking the name and assisting the first recipients. Starting in 2005, the company expanded its efforts to other states and by 2009 had enlisted more than 100 real estate partners nationally. Also in 2009, the nonprofit Homes for Heroes Foundation was formed to provide financial assistance and housing resources for heroes in need. As of 2016, the program has served more than 10,000 “Heroes” through more than 2,000 affiliated real estate specialists in 49 states. Flax said other area real estate-related business people affiliated with the Homes For Heroes program are Gwen Cordner with Acquest Title Services in West Ocean City and Brett Wolf with Professional Mortgage Services in Berlin. For her part, Flax said she recognizes the program’s value is providing financial assistance to individuals with limited means who have made unlimited sacrifices. “This touches people that typically don’t get touched,” she said. “It’s from the heart, it’s not to get attention.”

Letters to the editor Protection for water bird habitats improved

Editor, This year has been a good year for rare and endangered water birds, such as black skimmers and royal and common terns nesting on islands behind Ocean City, thanks to the tremendous support shown by so many Ocean City businesses and Eastern Shore residents. These folks recognize the value of these iconic coastal birds to Ocean City’s tourist economy. In 2015 water birds around Ocean City suffered disturbances caused by boaters and other tourists who were unaware of the importance of these nesting islands. However, in 2016 local residents, restaurants and tackle shops stepped up to post signs and use social media to educate tourists about the birds’ need for undisturbed nesting beaches. Audubon created the signs from wonderful artwork produced for this purpose by Assateague Coastal Trust’s Coast Kids that featured herons, egrets and seabirds. The general lack of disturbances this summer was a testament to the success of this outreach, as well as to the continuing efforts of Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Police, and Maryland Coastal Bays Program whose job it is to protect and manage the birds and their islands. We at Audubon Maryland-DC very much look forward to working with these great partners to keep these iconic water birds in Maryland in the years to come. David Curson, Ph.D. Director of Bird Conservation

Annual Home Tour still popular after 12 years Editor, On behalf of the Art League of Ocean City, I would like to thank everyone who made this year’s Sand Castle Home tour a huge success.

OBITUARY NOTICES

OCTOBER 14, 2016

Juvenile charged after social media post creates stir

(Oct. 14, 2016) A juvenile has been charged with disruption of school activities following an Instagram post made using the handle “timmy.the.shooter” telling Stephen Decatur High School students to “have fun in Mr. Kohl’s class tomorrow 2nd period be safe” in late September. Previously, Cpl. Alex Kagan of the Sheriff’s office said the post did not rise to the level of a criminal investigation. However, on Wednesday, Oct. 12, according to a Sheriff’s office press release, detectives from the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation along with members of the Worcester County Board of Education were able to identify the person responsible as a ninthgrade student at the school. The juvenile was interviewed with his parent and school staff present and confessed to making the post. As a result of the post, school activities were delayed and rearranged the following day. In addition, increased law enforcement personnel were brought in to ensure the safety of the students. The charges come following statements from school board personnel and members of the Sheriff’s office that the threats were “not credible.”

ANGLING FOR A PRIZE This may look like a solitary surf angler out communing with nature while hoping some passing fish will deliver a little excitement, but he was one of scores of anglers on the beach last Friday for the 37th annual Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Tournament.

WP coach pleased with performance going into playoffs

Decatur golf team wins Bayside and District VIII titles

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Stephen Decatur golf team captured the Bayside Conference title last Thursday, and this week, the Seahawks won the District VIII championship as they now prepare for states. Decatur, the top team in the Bayside South, and Kent Island, the No. 1 squad in the Bayside North, went head-tohead for the conference championship trophy last Thursday at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin. Decatur scored a 418 to take home the title. “It’s an awesome accomplishment to earn the Bayside Conference title,” Decatur Coach Jim Krall said. “Knowing that your team is the best out of 18 high schools feels pretty darn good.” The Seahawks were led by senior captain Matt Kristick who shot a 5 over par 77, which earned him medalist honors. Junior Matt Kinsey (80), senior captain Tanner Leonard (81), sophomore Hayden Snelsire (85) and freshman Brady Leonard (95) also contributed to the victory. “Coach [Don] Furbay and I are impressed with Matt Kristick and the other four players who sealed the deal, and have an enormous sense of pride in the program as a whole,” Krall said. “However, our success and accomplishments could not be possible without the support we receive from the local golf courses and PGA professionals, who bend over backwards to help junior golf on the shore.” Kent Island scored a 433. The 18 Bayside Conference schools met on the River Marsh Golf Course at the Hyatt Resort in Cambridge on Monday for the District VIII tournament. Decatur earned top honors shooting a 322. “Coach Furbay and I were extremely pleased with the team’s performance. It’s a great confidence booster moving toward states,” Krall said. “We were especially impressed with the ‘never give up’ attitude the players showed. They didn’t allow a bad hole to snowball into disaster, instead they put it behind them and relentlessly pressed on, ultimately posting very respectable scores.” Tanner Leonard carded a 76, Kristick and Kinsey both tallied 80s and Snelsire recorded an 86. “In the future, when our players have kids, they can bring them in the gym and look up at the Bayside and District champion banners and say to their children ‘I was on that team,’” Krall said. “They’re creating special memories.”

Stephen Decatur senior captain Matt Kristick shot a 5 over par 77, which earned him medalist honors during last Thursday's Bayside Conference championship at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin. Decatur took home the Bayside title.

Kent Island finished in second place with a 341 and James M. Bennett took third, scoring a 343. Decatur and Bennett teams have qualified for the state championship in the 3A/4A classification. Kent Island will compete in the 1A/2A. The state tournament is slated for Oct. 24-26 at the University of Maryland – College Park. “Four players – Matt Kristick, Tan-

ner Leonard, Matt Kinsey and Hayden Snelsire – will represent our team at states. [Sophomore] Emily Malinowski will compete as an individual,” Krall said. “It was so exciting to see her beat all the other girls in the district to not only earn a trip to states, but to capture the female medalist honors.” Malinowski shot an 85 during the district tournament to advance to states.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team earned a 3-1 victory over the Holly Grove Eagles in Westover on Wednesday to secure the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference regularseason title. Senior Tate Shockley gave Worcester a 1-0 lead midway into the first half. Terry Underkoffler Sophomore goalie Cooper Richins came up with a big save on a breakaway to keep it 1-0 going into the halftime break. He charged out of the goal and, as one of the Eagles gained control of a loose, bouncing ball, Richins was there and it was shot right at him. Senior Seth Lewis provided the Mallards with a two-goal advantage about 10 minutes into the second half. Holly Grove cut the lead to one with about 18 minutes remaining in the game when Worcester failed to clear the ball out of its defensive end. Shortly after, Lewis shot a pass from senior captain Owen Nally to the left corner of the goal to put the visiting Prep squad ahead 3-1. “We played pretty well. As the games get bigger, they get better,” Worcester Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “We defended as a team well. I was proud of how hard they played. They didn’t back down. Everyone picked up their level of intensity and played hard for 80 minutes.” Underkoffler said sophomore Henry Elangwe “was a force” in the center midfield. When the Eagles were controlling the center, Underkoffler moved Elangwe to the midfield position and he was able to shut them down. Richins finished the game with seven saves. “He’s only a 10th grader and he’s new to the position. He’s improved by leaps and bounds,” Underkoffler said of Richins. “His confidence grows every game.” Worcester will host the Delmarva Christian Royals at 4 p.m. in Berlin today, Friday. The senior Mallards will be honored during the contest. On Saturday, the Indian River Indians will come to Berlin for a 3 p.m. match against Worcester. The ESIAC tournament begins Wednesday with the semifinal round. Worcester earned the top seed and will host its semifinal game at 4 p.m. “I think we’re looking good. I like the way we’re playing,” Underkoffler said.

Decatur boys’ soccer team shuts out Wicomico, 10-0 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team tallied 10 goals and held the Wicomico Indians scoreless during Monday’s game in Berlin. “We wanted to work on finishing the ball, on our spacing and getting used to playing on our field again. It was only our third home game of the season,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “I just wanted us to play well and not get overconfident. Unselfishness was a big thing we wanted to focus on.” Senior Chance Coley put the Seahawks on the board 15 minutes into the game. Senior Wyatt Church scored twice to give Decatur a 3-0 lead. Junior John Ford made it 4-0 with a few minutes remaining in the first half. Ford tallied his second goal less than four minutes into the second half. He netted his third about three minutes later. Senior Andy McKahan boosted the

Seahawks’ advantage to 7-0 with a little over seven minutes left in the game. Church recorded his third goal with 6:36 on the clock. Junior Aiden Nichols logged Decatur’s ninth goal and senior Brody Shockley finished the scoring for the Seahawks with 57 seconds left to play. Senior Noah Shockley played in the goal during the first half and stopped one Wi-Hi shot. Sophomore Brett Berquist made one save in the second half. “I was happy with the way they moved off the ball and the way they moved with the ball,” Greenwood said. “We possessed the ball well.” Decatur will host the Pocomoke Warriors at 4 p.m. on Monday. The Seahawks finish up the regular season with Kent Island on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. and Easton on Friday, Oct. 21, at 1:30 p.m. Both games are in Berlin. “We need to start preparing for the playoffs. Work on all the little things and set pieces,” Greenwood said.

Players ‘relaxed and focused’ during match

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team topped the Pocomoke Warriors in three games on Wednesday. The Lady Seahawks won the first game 25-14 on the Warriors’ home court. They took the second game 2515 and earned a 25-14 victory in the third. “The team was relaxed and focused. The girls talked to each other and worked well as a team,” said Decatur Coach Sara Patrick. “I am very

proud of their teamwork. Their passes were on point and they dominated at the net. I hope that we have made our final adjustments to the lineup and that [Wednesday’s] game is an indication of good things to come.” Sara Patrick Sophomore Adriana Serpe contributed with three aces, two kills, five assists and two digs. Senior

captain Claire Billings chipped in with two aces and four digs. Junior Diamond Rounds served seven aces and Piper Connors, also a junior, tallied seven kills and two digs. Junior Maggie Bunting added five kills. Freshman Jaclyn Gallagher and sophomore Victoria Koslosky were recently moved up to varsity from the JV squad. Gallagher had two aces and 10 assists. Koslosky logged three aces, three kills and two digs. “In the past two weeks we’ve

410-289-1283

been forced to make adjustments to our roster and lineup,” Patrick said. “We pulled up Victoria and Jaclyn from JV to round out our team. They have been amazing. They both stepped up to the challenge and have exceeded our expectations.” Decatur will host the North Dorchester Eagles today, Friday, and the Parkside Rams on Monday. Both games are scheduled to start at 5:15 p.m. The Seahawks will travel to Salisbury on Tuesday to play the Wi-Hi Indians at 5 p.m.

Worcester Prep golf team finally gets win over SC

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) After four Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference matches, the Worcester Prep golf team finally topped the Salisbury Christian Jaguars during the fifth competition of the season, held Tuesday at Nutters Crossing Golf Course in Berlin. “The guys played well. They really grinded hard,” Prep Coach Scot Dailey said. Worcester’s foursome scored a 172. The Mallards were led by junior Austin Taylor, who shot a 41. Freshman Colby Hook tallied a 42. Seniors Jon Ruddo and Reid Carey carded 44 and 45, respectively. Salisbury Christian recorded a 174. Salisbury School finished with a 205. Dailey said his players were happy to win the match, but they know they can play better. The Mallards are eager to improve before the ESIAC championship, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Rum Pointe Golf Course in Berlin. Salisbury School, Salisbury Christian and Worcester will participate in the conference championship match. “We’ve got to keep getting better every day,” Dailey said. “Tuesday, we’ve got to be ready and come play our best match of the year.”

Decatur, Wor. Prep runners perform well during Classic By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Stephen Decatur and Worcester Prep cross country teams represented Worcester County during the annual Tidewater Fall Classic, held Oct. 5, at Winter Place Park in Salisbury. “It was great. A great day for a race,” said Prep Coach Keith Geiger. “The temperature and atmosphere were fantastic.” The Decatur boys’ team finished sixth overall out of the 21 schools that competed. The Seahawks scored 165 points. “I thought that the boys did pretty well. I was impressed by the performance of the top four boys,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. Senior Cameron James led De-

catur. He crossed the finish line 19th overall (17:39.09). Senior Javier Hernandez (29th, 18:08), junior Jack Reimer (30th, 18:09.18), senior Jared Massey (33rd, 18:13.54) and junior Matthew Alvarado (72nd, 19:29.01) also scored points for the Seahawks. Worcester Prep and Easton tallied 402 points to tie for 12th place. “Last year, we finished 18th out of 22. This year, we tied for 12th, and beat several schools that had beaten us earlier this year,” Geiger said. “It was a huge boost of confidence for a bunch of the guys. “Almost every single person on both [Worcester Prep] teams had their best times of the year,” he continued. “The boys really exceeded my expectations.” See NEXT Page 37

Next meet for Decatur and Wor. Prep, Oct. 19 Continued from Page 36 Senior Carter Hill was the Mallards’ top finisher. He completed the race in 17:10.45, good for 11th place overall out of 246 runners participating in the boys’ competition. Senior Trent Marshall (80th, 19:42.86), sophomore Jack Walinskas (104th, 20:18.86), junior Connor Cebula (153rd, 21:22.99) and freshman Enzo Zechiel (176th, 21:58.27) rounded out Worcester’s top five runners. “Carter Hill did amazing and finished 11th. Trent Marshall finally broke 20 minutes, which is really where he should be,” Geiger said. “Jack Walinskas had his personal best and nearly broke 20 minutes as

well. Connor did well and Enzo Zechiel ran an incredible race. For him to get under 22 minutes was impressive.” Decatur’s Lady Seahawks came in 12th overall, logging 290 points. Earning points for Decatur were senior Peyton Dunham (39th, 22:47.33), junior Lily Belle Baker (64th, 24:05.31), sophomores Dori Krasner (78th, 24:39.97) and Isabella Bartholomew (79th, 24:45.14) and junior Laila Mirza (81st, 24:50.90). “I am hoping that some of our girls will step up and really show some grit toward the end of this season,” Stigler said. “Right now we are facing a little adversity and we need to see a few girls really step up and work hard for

their team and their teammates.” Worcester’s Lady Mallards finished 15th overall with 380 points. Junior Annemarie Cherry led the squad, crossing the finish line 63rd overall (24:04.93) out of 193 female runners. Freshmen Ashley Laws (84th, 25:08.10), Damiana Colley (89th, 25:26.86) and Maddy Shanahan (105th, 25:56.13) and junior Marissa Grosso (119th, 26:56.32) also contributed. “They are still improving, so despite their overall place, I am encouraged. Again, almost all the girls had their personal bests,” Geiger said. “Maddy Shanahan really stepped up. For her to finish in the 25-minute range is a remarkable improvement. And several of these girls are freshmen, so they will hopefully just get better and better as they get older and more confident.” Decatur and Worcester will compete on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 3:30 p.m. at Mardela High School in Mardela Springs. “Cross country is really a sport where the person who is the most comfortable being uncomfortable is

the most successful. I am really trying to emphasize this to some kids on my team,” Stigler said. “When they get tired, it is not time for them to shut down, but rather the time that the successful athlete will start working harder to become superior to their competition. Our goal is to work harder than the competition for the remainder of the season and if we do that, success will follow.” “I’d like to see both the boys and girls pick up some second-place finishes in the next two meets,” Geiger said. “I don’t think we have the runners to beat Stephen Decatur boys or girls, but we keep getting closer and closer. Ultimately, a long-term goal would be to try and race with Stephen Decatur, but it may take a couple years to establish the culture of dedication that it would take.”

SPIKE IT Worcester Prep junior Camryn Sofronski prepares to hit the ball during Monday's match against Holly Grove in Berlin. "I was happy with how the girls played overall," said Prep Coach Keith Donoway. "I felt like the first two games were especially played well because of the energy and effort that everyone put out. We have been working a lot over the past week and a half on keeping a positive team dynamic. “Holly Grove is, I think, perhaps the best team in the conference,” he continued. “ The last time we played them this season, we did not play nearly as well. So I am pleased to see a noticeable improvement in our team play.” Worcester lost 19-25, 16-25 and 16-25. LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) When the Saints Peter & Paul and Worcester Prep girls’ soccer teams went head-to-head on Sept. 23 in Berlin, the visiting Sabres won 2-1. The Lady Mallards battled their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival again on Tuesday in Easton and Carol Hartnett came out on top 3-0. When asked how she thought the girls played, Prep Coach Carol Hartnett said “fabulously.” “We played our game. We were firing on all cylinders,” she added. “I thought we dominated. We had 21 shots and they had nine.” Senior captain Madison Bescak put Worcester on the board midway into the first half. With a little under five minutes remaining in the half, freshman Messa Cammack provided

the visiting Mallards with a two-goal cushion. Bescak netted the Prep squad’s third goal about 10 minutes into the second half. Freshman goalie Emily Copeland stopped nine Saints Peter & Paul shots, two of which were at pointblank range. “We had nothing to lose. We went out and left it all on the field,” Hartnett said. “They had great hustle, good momentum and it was just a positive atmosphere. I was proud of the girls and their effort.” The 3-0 victory earned the Mallards home-field advantage for the ESIAC tournament. Worcester is 7-1 going into the postseason and will host its semifinal game on Wednesday at 4p.m. “I think we’re peaking at the right time and we’re healthy right now,” Hartnett said. “All the hard work they’ve put in has paid off. It’s exciting as a coach to watch them put into play everything we have given them.”

Ultimate Frisbee tournament this weekend doubles in size

DECATUR MVP Allstate Pest and Termite Control recently presented the MVP award for Week 5 of the 2016 season to senior SB/DB Avonte Purnell for his performance during the Oct. 1 game against North Caroline. Pictured, from left, are Ron Zonnak, president of Allstate Pest Control Inc., Purnell and SDHS Head Coach Stan Griffin. Decatur lost 41-13. The MVP award will be presented weekly by Allstate.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) The Ocean City Beach Classic — the headline event from the Ocean City Beach Ultimate club — returns to the sands in front of Somerset Street this Saturday and Sunday a little later than the previous two years, but twice the size of the preceding events. With 30 teams registered, play will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday morning and continue into Sunday, when the winners will be determined. Alex “AJ” Jacoski, director of Ocean City Beach Ultimate and member of the DC Breeze professional team, said the move from mid-August until October would allow the tournament to grow, since more teams could participate. “Within the ultimate community August is very busy, so we moved it until after the competitive season while the weather is still nice,” he said. “Club teams playing on grass is the most popular form of the sport, so waiting until their season is over and when the sand doesn’t feel like it’s 100 degrees doubled the tournament size.” Customarily, beach ultimate is played barefoot. This year, the tournament has reg-

istered thirty teams, five of which are either local or have significant numbers of local participants. The teams include humiliswag, Ocean City’s elite club team that placed second in national competition earlier this year, Shore Break, a team drawn from local pickup games, a team of lifeguards from Bethany Beach, and Salisbury University’s male and female teams, Buzz and Flash. Premier league players including Jonathan “Goose” Helton, a two time league MVP, and Bret Matzuka will be participating, along with teams from New Jersey, Washington D.C., Long Island, Baltimore and Virginia Beach. Those teams, Jacoski said, will be so impressed with Ocean City’s beaches and atmosphere that the sky is the limit for the tournament to grow. The world’s largest tournament is held in Wildwood, New Jersey in July and can easily draw ten times the amount of registrations the Ocean City Beach Classic does currently. There’s a lot of work to be done before Ocean City reaches that level, he said, but the sport continues to grow on the shore. A fall outdoor league has just started, and an indoor league at Crown Sports Center is opening up See ULTIMATE Page 40

Ultimate Frisbee tourney Sat., Sun. Continued from Page 39 in November. Stephen Decatur Middle School has an afterschool program devoted to the sport, managed by Jacoski and math teacher Trevor Hill. “Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact sport, which is important in the age of concussions. There aren’t usually referees either so conflict resolution all happens on the field with players making their own calls and settling disagreements diplomatically,” he said. For parents, the sport has a low barrier of entry — the only things

necessary are a disc and, if the game is played on grass, a decent set of running shoes. Skills learned in other sports, particularly basketball, soccer, lacrosse or field hockey, are easily transferable to Ultimate Frisbee. “The best thing to do if you’re interested in learning to play is to come out to a beach game, which we have every Monday night at 5:30, weather permitting,” Jacoski said. Next year, Jacoski said he will increase the number of smaller, more informal tournaments to help expand the sport.

For now, he said, Jacoski is focusing on getting the tournament squared away, including the registration afterparty Friday night at Hammerhead’s within the Backshore Brewing Company starting at 8 p.m. and the Saturday night tournament party at Fish Tales, also starting at 8 p.m. Alex “AJ” Jacoski lays out for a block on Baltimore area player Matthew "Skunk" Radhe during an OCBU summer league game.

SDHS alum opens AshMad’s Fresh Eats on Route 50

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Twenty-year-old and Stephen Decatur High School alum Ashleigh Madia opened AshMad’s Fresh Eats on Route 50 about a month ago, bringing homemade American food to West Ocean City. “Everything is fresh and made-toorder,” Madia said. “Nothing is precooked and it’s different. To make our cheesesteaks, a whole 12-pound ribeye is freshly sliced in-house and it makes a difference.” Visitors can try out Madia’s homemade meatball or chicken parmesan subs, which she breads herself by hand along with her crispy chicken sandwich. “Our chicken tenders are placed in a buttermilk marinate after I hand bread them,” Madia said. “Everything is fresh and made in-house. I have no freezer. We want to give people the greatest ingredients and the freshest food.” All sandwiches are served on a brioche bun with fries and include a certified Angus ground chuck cheeseburger and grilled, crispy or buffalo chicken sandwiches as choices. The cheesesteak, meatball and chicken parmesan subs come on a roll from Crack of Dawn Bakery in Berlin with fries. Customers may also choose a house or Caesar salad, buffalo chicken bites, beer-battered onion petals, coleslaw and zucchini fries. “We like to keep things local and use OC Brewing Company’s beer in our batter. The onion petals are cut into wedges and the zucchini fries are really good,” Madia said. The 2014 graduate of Stephen Decatur High School has always enjoyed cooking and was inspired by her grandfather. When she was a junior in high school, Madia started taking culinary classes at Worcester Technical High School. A visit from recruiters led to her interest in attending Lincoln Culinary Institute in Columbia, Maryland, after graduating. She received her Associates Degree in Culinary Arts 18 months later. Madia has been working in the kitchen at local restaurants since she was 16 years old. She started out at Taylor’s Neighborhood Restaurant in Ocean Pines before working at Dead Freddie’s, Drummers Café in the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin, Bad Monkey and a couple places in Baltimore. “AshMad is a nickname my friend came up with in the sixth grade. I was 12 years old and it stuck,” she said.

KARA HALLISSEY/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Twenty-year-old and Stephen Decatur alum Ashleigh Madia opened AshMad’s Fresh Eats on Route 50 about a month ago, bringing homemade American food to West Ocean City.

After opening on Sept. 12, AshMad’s Fresh Eats has operated as a carry out service, but Madia plans to have tables and seating in the coming months. Also, look forward to soft serve ice cream and extended hours in the summertime. During the week, AshMad’s has a daily lunch special from the menu featured at a lower cost. “It gets our customers to try different foods,” Madia said. “We want to generate a local base of customers

and stress the fresh. The freshest food we can make is what we will give you.” AshMad’s Fresh Eats is located on Route 50 between Hooters and the Verizon store. Currently, the restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed on Sundays. To order food, call 410-390-5592 or search “AshMad’s” on Facebook for updates and specials.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) The USDA-Rural Development guaranteed home loan program significantly reduced program fees effective Oct. 1. These reductions will make owning a home through a USDA $0 down/100% financing loan more affordable on a monthly basis. The fees that were reduced were: • The upfront guarantee fee changed from 2.75 percent to 1 percent of the loan amount. • The annual fee or monthly servicing fee will change from .50 percent to .35 percent of the average scheduled unpaid principal balance for the life of the loan. To give an example of the savings these reductions represent, let’s compare a purchase of a $150,000 home under the old rate structure vs. the new rate structure that went into effect Oct. 1 of this year. Under the old rate structure, a buyer using a USDA loan would have had to pay $4,238 for the upfront guarantee fee, resulting in a total financed loan amount of $154,238. The monthly principal and interest with a 3.5 percent 30-year loan would be $692.60 and the monthly servicing fee would be $62.50 for a total payment of $755.10 (not taking into account taxes and insurance). Under the new rate structure effective Oct. 1, the upfront guarantee fee would be $1,515 for a total financed loan amount of $151,515. The monthly principal and interest would be $680.37 and the monthly servicing fee would drop to $43.75 for a total monthly payment of $724.12. This equates to a monthly savings of $30.98 or an annual savings of $371.76. Another way to look at the savings is an increase in purchase power. Under the old fee structure, a buyer would only be able to afford a $150,000 purchase price to keep their payment around $755. However, under the new reduced rates fee structure in effect, a buyer can purchase a house that is approximately $161,000 for the same monthly expense. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Realtor/Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) For the last seven or eight years, resort property owner Spiro Buas and his wife, Marianne, have completed a number of significant revitalization projects in Ocean City. Most recently, on Baltimore Avenue near Eighth Street, Buas finished an interior and exterior makeover to an older building with four units, which included decking, railings, windows, doors, carpeting and furniture, in June. “It’s a cool-looking building and we completely redid it all last winter,” Buas said. “I try to work on one project every winter. It makes sense to improve the properties to attract clientele.” Buas has utilized the Ocean City Development Corporation’s Façade

Ocean Lodge at Philadelphia Avenue and 8th Street, 104 Philadelphia Avenue and the two buildings at 11 and 15 Philadelphia Avenue. In addition, Buas completed OCDC’s 100th façade project at the Buckingham Hotel in 2011. “The Buckingham Hotel was a big project and sticks out because we redid the entire interior and exterior,” Buas said. “Eighth Street had a huge transformation, is the most recent and turned out great. But in a couple years, looking back, Buckingham Hotel will probably stand out the most because it was a huge undertaking.” This winter, Buas has two projects in the works, but has not committed as of press time. “I enjoy working with OCDC and getting their advice,” Buas said. “I love hearing someone else’s ideas.”

Improvement and Green Building Initiatives Programs to complete the work, however, he has spent at least $1 million in addition to the grant funds to complete the makeovers. “Each project Spiro has been involved in was a building that needed a lot of help. Some of the buildings were in poor condition and he has invested the necessary funds into bringing it back to life,” said Glenn Irwin, executive director of the Ocean City Development Corporation. “Each successful downtown story includes several individuals who have provided the money, time, and sweat equity in making for a better downtown. Spiro is one of these individuals for downtown Ocean City.” In addition to the Eighth Street property, Buas has completed renovation projects at Baltimore and 15th Street, 1411 St. Louis Avenue, the

Hundreds of Corvettes are on display in the inlet parking lot during the 29th annual Free State Corvette Club Weekend last year. The 2016 event takes place this weekend. Activities include car shows, rallyes and a parade down the Boardwalk.

Corvette owners converge in OC for weekend activities

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Hundreds of Corvette owners and enthusiasts will gather in Ocean City for the 30th annual Free State Corvette Club’s Corvette Weekend, taking place at the inlet lot and Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street. The event returns to the resort today, Friday, and Saturday with car shows, rallyes and a parade down the Boardwalk. The public is invited to attend the free activities and there will be events for paying participants. “The event marks the end of the driving season for many owners, especially those that own rare, or older Corvettes that are garaged over the winter months. Owners have come from as far as Arizona to participate,” said Jerry Apicella, event chairman. “Truly though, what really makes this special is the participation and volunteer work done behind the scenes all year to pull the event off. All proceeds generated go to charities and it is an emotional experience dispersing the funds and hearing back from our charities as to how these dollars are being used.” Festivities kick off today at the Clarion Hotel, where Corvette Weekend headquarters has 12 vendors selling a range of items from jewelry to memorabilia. Tonight, a welcome dance party will take place at the Clarion with live classic rock music from Sir Rod and a cash bar from 7-11 p.m. An all-you-can-eat buffet is available at an additional cost,

Corvettes are paraded along the Boardwalk last year during the 29th annual Free State Corvette Club Weekend.

though diners must sign up for the dinner in advance during registration. Corvette weekend continues in the inlet parking lot Saturday morning, where hundreds of cars will be on display, three car shows will take place and three car rallyes will be going on simultaneously before an afternoon Corvette Boardwalk parade launches. “Many of the folks have owned Corvettes all of their lives dating back to the early ‘50s when Chevy introduced them,” Apicella said. “For others it is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream to own one. Ocean City is also a great venue to hold this event.” The competitive car shows begin at 7:30 a.m., when Corvette owners prepare their cars to be judged in three shows: participants vote for their three

favorite cars in all classes except their own in the Fun Show, 10 Spina Bifida guests will select a favorite Corvette in the second show and two celebrity guest judges will choose their favorite Corvette from each generation and three custom classes in the final show. Each participating car will receive a free Corvette Weekend dash plaque and trophies will be awarded for each show. Registration is limited to the first 300 paid Corvettes. At 9 a.m., three rallyes will launch from the inlet simultaneously Saturday morning, taking drivers and their navigators on a scavenger hunt journey while collecting poker run cards and scrabble titles for various contests. Each registered car will receive a See PARADE Page 46

Parade of Corvettes down Boardwalk, Sat. Continued from Page 45 dash plaque and is limited to the first 150 registered and paid Corvettes. “The rallyes are not a timed competition, but rather a chance to drive along roads less traveled in and around the shore and take in the beauty of the area,” Apicella said. The highlight of Corvette Weekend is a parade with about 700 Corvettes traveling north up the Boardwalk from the inlet starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday. “The parade is a rolling history of the cars, the people, and the back stories behind some of these great

Corvettes,” Apicella said. An awards presentation and wrapup ceremony will be held Saturday evening at the Clarion Resort for the car shows and rallyes. Another all-you-can-eat dinner will be served for an additional fee with a cash bar before the awards ceremony begins at 8 p.m. Diners must sign up for the buffet in advance during registration. Corvette Weekend benefits several charities, including the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland. Over the years, the Ocean City show has helped

organizers donate more than half a million dollars to local nonprofits. Last year, more than 700 Corvettes were registered and organizers estimate 2,000 Corvettes were in Ocean City for the weekend. “We won’t have the final tally of registered Corvettes until after the event due to late registrations but the numbers grow every year,” Apicella said. Those who have not pre-registered for Corvette Weekend can visit the late registration table in the Clarion today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to sign up for the parade, shows and rallyes. Latecomers

can still register at the inlet parking lot downtown at 7:30 a.m., tomorrow. Late registration costs $40 for adults and $8 for children under 12. Addition costs apply for the car shows, rallyes and buffet dinners. The Boardwalk parade is included with registration. Participants do not need to be members of the FSCC or another club to take part in Corvette Weekend. “This is a fun-filled family event for participants and spectators alike in the great town of Ocean City,” Apicella said.

Restaurant Week underway; event runs until Oct. 23

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Ocean City’s fall Restaurant Week, which started last Sunday and continues through Oct. 23, offers additional discounts on already low off-season prices. Diners can choose from more than 20 restaurants – ranging from local pubs and unique spots to fine dining – featuring a variety of specials. “We focus on great deals rather than price points, although some restaurants do,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “There are great deals on great food. Many restaurants already have specials going on into the fall.” To celebrate Shore Craft Beer Month in Ocean City, Greene Turtle on 116th Street and Seacrets on 49th Street have recommended craft beer pairings for each of its Restaurant Week offerings. The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw diners through the doors when business is slower and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new ideas. “Restaurant Week brings a lot of

people in here who have never been before,” said Adam Sanders, owner of Jules Restaurant on 118th Street. “People are excited and have been waiting for Restaurant Week to start. It also gets people out to try fine dining when they normally wouldn’t.” Jules will be offering three courses for $30, including a choice of starters such as oven roasted tomato and sweet corn soup, homemade maca-

roni and cheese, butternut squash soup, eggplant roulade and crab empanada. House, Caesar and blue ice wedge salads are second course options. “It is such a good deal,” Sanders said. “You get three courses for $30 and its all made from scratch. We do it right and it is really good. You can’t beat it.” See CHEFS Page 53

Chefs create special dishes for OC fall Restaurant Week Continued from Page 51 Entrée options include chicken marsala, shrimp and grits, a chicken breast, pork and fennel ragout and Shepard’s pie. “Everything is so good from the crab empanada to the delicious Shepard’s pie and the shrimp and grits are out of this world,” Sanders said. Customers also have the option to choose a filet mignon or crab cake dinner as their main course for an extra $5. “Last night (Sunday), we had a lot of people who had never been here before,” Sanders said. “We have participated since its inception and we love it. If the first night is any indication of how it’s going to go, we were really busy and the town does a good job of promoting it.” Jules is also offering an early bird special where customers receive a free glass of house cabernet or chardonnay wine if they are seated by 6 p.m. Touch of Italy on 66th Street has four courses for $25, excluding Friday and Saturday, during Restaurant Week. “If I didn’t work, I’d try a new restaurant each night to get the good deals,” said manager Peter Scioli. “How can you beat it?” Customers start off with a sautéed shrimp skewer or traditional Italian salad and then move onto rigatoni alla burrata, which consists of crushed San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, salt and pepper blended with homemade burrata topped with pecorino romano, or try the gnocchi calciano tossed in a tomato sauce and topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese for their second course. “If it was up to me, every restaurant would participate,” Scioli said. “Its supporting the local community, free publicity and gets people through the doors. If it’s their first time coming in, hopefully after they try the quality food, they come back.” Two entrée choices include the pollo alla francese, a chicken breast topped with multiple flavors and arugula in addition to the porchetta paesana consisting of a pork chop roasted and stuffed with prosciutto, provolone, broccoli rabe and sundried peppers. “It is a beautiful piece of pork and for the price you cannot beat it,” Scioli said. “Our chicken francese is not traditional and we put our own twist on the dish. It is pretty popular on our regular menu.” Finish out the meal with a small cannoli or touchomisu, cookies soaked in espresso and then layered with sweetened mascarpone cheese. “Go to each spot, check them out and enjoy,” Scioli said. Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week back from a travel summit on the Western Shore in 2007, she said. “Restaurant Week is the perfect

opportunity for a date night where you can go out on a budget and gives people an excuse to dine out,” Jones said. “It’s special because it incorporates the whole community and generates business not only for the restaurants, but for the bartenders and servers also reaping the benefits.” Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. Participating restaurants will still offer their regular, full-price menus during the promotion. “From a diner’s perspective there are some tasty options to try,” Jones said.

Pink Ribbon Classic Mah Jongg tournament, Oct. 20 By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) To raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research, Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach events continue to take place in Ocean City with the eighth annual Mah Jongg tournament on Thursday, Oct. 20, at the Golden Sands Resort on 109th Street. “Playing in the tournament is fun, challenging and offers a way for players from surrounding states to meet and greet one another while contributing to a cause which is dear to our hearts and has impacted everyone present either directly or indirectly,” said Darlene Botts, event organizer. A $30 donation to the American Cancer Society guarantees a spot, and it must be received by Saturday, Oct. 15. There will be no sign-ups on the day of the event. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. on Oct. 20, and play starts at 10 a.m. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided by the Golden Sands Club, there will be a 50/50 raffle and door prizes including hand-painted

flower pots from local artist Georgette Smith of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home décor items donated by Wockenfuss Candies and Gifts and items from Custom Crab Creations. “The Golden Sands has partnered with us for the last six years in donating not only the lovely venue on their 22nd floor overlooking the ocean, but also donating a continental breakfast, lunch buffet and beverages throughout the day,” Botts said. In addition, the top three point earners will receive prizes. Last year, 132 players, which is the maximum amount of spots available in the tournament, helped to raise more than $5,000 for the American Cancer Society. “Funds are raised through registration fees, a 50/50 raffle and a Pink Ribbon Mah-Jongg Set Raffle where tickets are $10 and it’s a much coveted item,” Botts said. “Since the Pink Ribbon Mah-Jongg Set is donated all monies raised are pure profit for the American Cancer Society.” Contact Botts at 410-409-7528 or dbkatt47@verizon.net for registration information.

Believe in Tomorrow presents 5K walk and run next Sat.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea is bringing back its 5K run and walk on Saturday, Oct. 22, inside the Bayside Community in Selbyville, Delaware. Race participants will start at 3 p.m. outside the Cove Bar & Grill before running or walking through the community and golf course. “All money raised will be focused on our new beach cottage on 65th Street that we plan on opening in late spring of 2017,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “It is our goal.” Organizers encourage runners and walkers to dress in Halloween costumes, make up a theme or consider entering the centipede division where participants are banded together with friends or family and run as a connected unit. An after party will begin around 5 p.m. in an outdoor tent with tunes from DJ Magellan of Ocean 98.1 and food catered by Penguin Diner of Bethany Beach, Delaware. There will be at least 20 medals awarded to first-, second- and thirdplace finishers in a range of age groups. In addition, prize categories

include best costume, centipede and fundraising contests. “We are focusing fundraising efforts on the new property because we have to figure out what we are going to do,” Littleton said. “The beach cottage will be big enough for terminally ill children and their extended family to come down including grandparents. All money we raise into 2017 will focus on the new house.” During the race, students from Stephen Decatur High School and Phi Mu Sorority from Salisbury State University are leading “Team Riley,” a child in the Believe in Tomorrow program who stayed in Ocean City See BIT Page 56

Continued from Page 55 this summer, but cannot participate. “They are running in her honor and she will be present at the event,” Littleton said. In addition, the race will raise awareness for Eli, a 2.5-year-old battling a rare and aggressive brain tumor called Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT). He is the grandson of Bob Knox, a teacher and the head football coach at Stephen Decatur High School. Knox led the team for three decades, but decided to take a leave of absence from coaching this season to be with his family. “We want to try and get them in our program. They are a local family and that is what we are here for,” Littleton said. “If you can’t help local families what is the point of doing this? We want to make sure everyone knows about this and helps what they can.” “Team Eli” T-shirts are being made and donated by Action Island in Berlin. “We can really raise awareness and it’s my goal to get Stephen Decatur High School alumni out there,” Littleton said. “He [Bob Knox] is a local, popular figure in the community and this is an opportunity to raise awareness and support someone local.” Eli’s mother, Jennifer Knox, has taken a leave of absence as a teacher at Spring Ridge Elementary School in Frederick, Maryland, to be with him, and his father, Youness Tadli, is also missing work. A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help the family with medical bills and travel. To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/foreli. “There has to be thousands of people Bob Knox has touched in this community and I felt like I needed to do something to help,” Littleton said. “He

impacted my life and he is a neat man.” The Connections Club at Stephen Decatur High School will have a booth set up at the event to help hand out T-shirts, distribute information and accept donations for the Knox family. “We are trying to reach out and get the word out to former players of Mr. Knox,” said Laurie Chetelat, a teacher and advisor for the Connections Club at Stephen Decatur. “We are using this event to not only raise money for the Children’s House, but also raise awareness for what Mr. Knox and his family are going through. The medical bills are amounting immensely.” To sign up for the Believe in Tomorrow 5K, visit BelieveInTomorrow.org/5k or call 410-723-2842. “There is always hope if you believe something good is going to happen, and believing the treatment is going to help him get better,” Knox said. “My grandson has good and bad days.” The cost to participate in the 5K is $25 until Thursday, Oct. 20. Entry fee after that and the day of the race is $30. It is $15 for children 12 and under. Fenwick Food Lion, Mancini’s, Creative Concepts, Bayside Wine and Spirits, Custom Mechanical, Park Place Jewelers, Pete’s Cycles, Ocean City Elks Lodge, the Michael Mann Foundation, Oasis Wellness Spa and Alesi Custom Builders and Renovators are sponsoring the event. “The goal is to bring this event back,” Littleton said. “I want to make it a great race and a fun day by creating awareness for our project and Coach Knox’s grandchild.” The Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street is open year-round to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness.

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) Pineapple upsidedown cake is as American as apple pie. This classic dessert is a single layer yellow butter cake inverted after baking to reveal a glistening mosaic of caramelized canned pineapple. Taste is of the utmost importance but presentation is another major consideration. But anyone who is a connoisseur of this particular treat knows developing a crunchy crust is imperative. The end result is a delightful contrast in textures and flavors. Cooking a cake with a fruit layer on the bottom and inverting it afterwards is neither new nor indigenous to America. In the 19th century, Americans without access to an oven made cornbread, biscuits and shortcakes over a fire in a cast-iron skillet with legs called a spider. As iron ovens became increasingly more common in American homes, flat-

bottomed frying pans supplanted the spider and the term “skillet cakes” emerged. In the early 1920s, skillet cakes with a caramelized fruit bottom became the rage of Middle America. According to Food Facts & Trivia, the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now Dole Pineapple) held a pineapple recipe contest in 1925; representatives from Fannie Farmer’s School, Good Housekeeping, and McCall’s magazine judged the event. The 100 winning recipes would be published in a cookbook the following year. Over 60,000 recipes were sent in, and some 2,500 of them were for pineapple-upside cake. The Hawaiian Pineapple Company ran an ad campaign the following year based on the fact that so many recipes for the cake had been submitted. It was very clear this sweet delicacy had won favor with Americans and was becoming a standard option on menus across the country. An apple upside-down cake is a delicious take off on the traditional pineapple upside-down cake and blends in with the theme of fall. If one relishes the Hawaiian treat; I highly suggest giving this recipe a try. Following are a few tips to ensure a successful cookery experience. A combination of sweet and tart

apples works best when baking. Cook’s Illustrated suggests the following six varieties retain their shape when cooked and provide the best flavor. Golden delicious, Braeburn and Jonagold are chosen because of their natural sweetness. Granny Smith, Empire and Cortland retain a sharp tartness and hold up well during the cooking process. Cutting half of the apples into ¼inch thickness and the remaining apples into ½-inch thickness renders a better contrast in texture. Also, precook half of the apples in butter to deepen their flavor. This step allows some of the natural juices to reduce and makes more room for additional apples which enhances the apple essence and the overall dish. Technicality may seem trivial but necessary for culinary advancement. Has one ever wondered why raw apples that go straight into the cake batter cook up too firm, while those same raw apples come out soft and tender if microwaved before heading into the oven? Cook’s Illustrated suggests that precooking simply hastens the fruit’s breakdown, but actually there is a scientific answer. As the batter’s temperature climbs and lingers between 120 and 160 degrees, the pectin methyl esterase (PME) sets the pectin

in the fruit, so the slices will remain relatively firm no matter how long they are cooked. But the PME is deactivated at temperatures above 160 degrees. Three minutes in the microwave brings the apples to 180 degrees which kills any activity of the PME. This is the reason so many recipes call for apples to be sautéed briefly before baking. October is the time to embellish one’s menu with different ingredients. Apples and walnuts go hand in hand during this time of year. Apple upside-down cake is crowned with a golden medley of sliced apples and crunchy, buttery walnuts that are smothered in brown sugar and an array of aromatic spices. If one See APPLE Page 58

Topping 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 1/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped 2 teaspoons raisins 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar 2 teaspoons orange juice 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground allspice 1/8 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Blend Cake 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon table salt ¾ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled ½ cup sour cream 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract powdered sugar for dusting the finished cake 1. For the topping: Butter bottom and sides of 9-inch round, 2-inch deep nonstick cake pan; set aside. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Halve apples from pole to pole, in other words, root end to bud end. Cut 2 apples into ½-inch-thick slices. Cut remaining 2 apples into 1/4-inchthick slices. Heat the remaining butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add ½-inch sliced apples and cook, stirring until apples

caramelize. Add ¼-inch apple slices, walnuts, raisins, brown sugar and orange juice; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and apples are coated evenly. Set aside. 3. In a medium bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and Chinese Five Spice Blend. Add apple mixture to the spice blend and mix thoroughly. Transfer apple mixture to prepared pan and lightly press into an even layer. Presentation is important; remember the bottom layer will be displayed on the top when serving. Take the time to evenly arrange apples, walnuts and raisins. This may sound quite fussy, but in the end it is worth it. 4. For the cake: Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs together in a large bowl until thick and homogeneous. Slowly whisk in butter until combined. Add sour cream and vanilla; whisk until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined, do not over mix. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly over fruit. Bake until cake is golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. 5. Cool pan on wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around sides of cake to loosen. Place wire rack over cake pan. Holding rack tightly, invert cake pan and wire rack together; lift off cake pan. Place wire rack over baking sheet or large plate to catch any drops of sweetened liquid. If any fruit sticks to the pan bottom, remove and carefully position it on the top of cake. Let cool completely, transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Ghost tours planned around state in Oct. By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 14, 2016) More than 30 ghost tours are scheduled this month in 11 towns around Maryland. “Chesapeake Ghost Tours are the largest cluster of related tours in America,” said Mindie Burgoyne, Chesapeake Ghost Walk researcher and creator. “The Eastern Shore has many small towns. By doing a cluster of regional ghost tours it allows these towns to be highlighted when they wouldn’t be Mindie Burgoyne enough to sustain a weekly ghost tour on their own.” Ghost enthusiasts can check out walks in Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill, Pocomoke City, Easton, Cambridge, Denton, Crisfield, Princess Anne, St. Michaels and debuting on Halloween, Salisbury. “People are waiting for Salisbury and we will launch the tour on Halloween,” Burgoyne said. “On the Eastern Shore, there is a ghost tour within an hour drive somewhere near you.” Collectively, the ghost tours cover 150 haunted Eastern Shore stories and each tour lasts about two hours with stops outside the properties visited. “We’ve had 8,000 people go on these tours,” Burgoyne said. “Most people like going on more than one tour. We have 36 left in October and may add more.” Burgoyne mentioned how private tours have been popular among friends and workplaces. Many bed and breakfasts have put the ghost tours in their packages and the Girl Scouts will have a private tour in Pocomoke in the near future. “It is a real fun thing to do and we love doing it,” Burgoyne said. More than a decade ago, Burgoyne moved into her current home in Marion Station with her husband and experienced ghosts and a presence for the first time, which led to the creation of Chesapeake Ghost Tours. Burgoyne will be offering two tours of her home on Sunday, Oct. 23 at 5:30 and 7 p.m. Her haunted house inspired research by interviewing local residents, visiting libraries for regional history books or newspaper articles and she utilized the folklore collection at the Nabb Research Center at Salisbury University. One of her novels, “Haunted Eastern Shore: Ghostly Tales from East of the Chesapeake” built her a following in the community and she was constantly being asked if she did ghost tours. By 2010, bus tours started taking place on the Eastern Shore and the following January it was decided to try out a walk. “Every year we have doubled our capacity and we now have 10 storytellers,” Burgoyne said. “We have four storytellers just for Ocean City.” Ocean City is the most popular out of Burgoyne’s tours followed by

Pocomoke and St. Michaels. No children are allowed on the Princess Anne tour because of harsh content. On Monday, Burgoyne debuted the fourth book in her haunted series: “Haunted Lower Eastern Shore: Spirits of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties.” “The book mostly covers the stories on our town tours,” Burgoyne said. “They are a nice supplement for people who go on the ghost tours so they can read more about the towns after their tour.” The Pocomoke River and Forest, Snow Hill, Wicomico spirits, Crisfield haunts, old Princess Anne and her house in Marion Station are all stories in her new book. “The five towns and some surrounding areas are the focus in this book,” Burgoyne said. “It fills you in about Snow Hill and Pocomoke. For 200 years, people have been talking about strange and scary occurrences in the Pocomoke Forest. There is a witch’s tree and it’s a mysterious area that has excited the imagination for seven or eight generations.” In the near future, intense storytelling classes will be offered to teach their guides, but will also be open to the public. “It is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment you can find and you get exercise,” Burgoyne said. “You learn, walk and be entertained.” Tours cost $15 for adults, $9 for children ages 8-12 and are free for youth under 8. Advanced registration is required on www.chesapeakeghostwalks.com. Call 443-735-0771 for more information.

Star Charities collecting donations Nonperishable items sought for organization’s ‘Holiday Gifts for our Soldiers’ drive

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 14, 2016) Star Charities’ annual “Holiday Gifts for our Soldiers” collection, a longtime labor of love for Ocean Pines resident Anna Foultz, kicked off Oct. 1. Since 2003, the drive has collected nonperishable items to send to U.S. soldiers serving overseas, thanks to Foultz and her late husband, Carl, a World War II veteran who served in China, Burma and India. “When he was [serving], he noticed how hard it was to get toilet paper and all kinds of toiletries he couldn’t buy, so he was worried about the soldiers,” Foultz said. “He wanted to do something and he said, ‘I think we should start a collection.’” Linda Dearing, owner of Copy Central, was a year-one supporter of the drive and helped package and box all of the items that are picked up each year by the National Guard. Since 2006, American Legion Post 166 in Ocean City also has aided in the effort, and Foultz now has a committee of volunteers that helps to plan, set up and carry out the annual collection.

“The first time we did it, we went to the Ocean Pines Library with one container. The next thing you know we were getting all kinds of calls,” Foultz said. “People said, ‘well we want a container where we live.’ I even got a call from Delaware, but I told them we’re just staying in our area.” This year, large black collection containers have been placed at the Worcester County library branches in Berlin, Ocean Pines and Ocean City,

‘My heart goes out to the soldiers and I’m just thinking, would Carl be proud of me when he sees me doing all this stuff?.’ Anna Foultz as well as at the Ocean Pines Community Center, the Ocean City VFW and American Legion Post 166. Suggested contributions include powdered drinks like Crystal Light, as well as Gatorade, coffee, tea, chewing gum, canned fruits and nuts, beef jerky, sunglasses, suntan lotion and cotton socks. On the list of toiletries are toilet paper, dark hand towels and washcloths, and foot powder. Board games, playing cards and small, paperback books are also collected. Do not send liquids, perishable

items, or glass. Last year, Foultz said, the National Guard spent a week finding a truck large enough to haul all the items that had been temporarily stored in her garage. “It gives me a thrill to keep this going – it just makes me so happy,” Foultz said. “My heart goes out to the soldiers and I’m just thinking, would Carl be proud of me when he sees me doing all this stuff? A lot of people would have stopped, but I’m so busy with everything else that I figure I’ve got to do this for my husband, because I love him so much. And he was so sincere about it, it brings a tear to my eye. “I’ll keep doing this as long as I’m alive,” she continued. “After that, I don’t know what will happen. But it gives me great pleasure and the girls in my committee do such a great job. They’re happy to do it and each year they help make it even bigger.” The Holiday Gifts for our Soldiers drive runs through Oct. 30. To donate to the effort, send checks, payable to “Holiday Gifts for our Soldiers,” to Star Charities, c/o Anna Foultz, 127 High Sheriff Trail, Ocean Pines, Maryland 21811.

Annual Drive in Disguise, Oct. 22

(Oct. 14, 2016) For the sixth year, residents and visitors with a vintage Ocean City license plate will be allowed to ride down the Boardwalk during the annual OC Vintage License Plate Rally, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 22. Continuing with the Drive in Disguise theme anyone wishing to decorate their car also will be allowed to ride down the Boardwalk. “The rally has grown,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “The Halloween theme has really broadened the event. There’s a real competition in decorating the cars.” Decorated cars will join the OC vin-

tage plate cars during the rally, which will roll off at 27th Street at 3 p.m. Vehicles will drive off the Boardwalk at the inlet parking lot. The public will be able to vote for their favorite decorated car. Each vote is $1. A People’s Choice trophy as well as additional trophies will be awarded. In addition, various local organizations will have information booths set up and a DJ will play music. Several local businesses will offer a 15 percent discount to participants for the weekend. “We are still working on other possible components to the day,” said event organizer Nancy Howard. “The entire event is an attempt to create a

WOC Tanger Outlets launch PinkSTYLE campaign in Oct.

(Oct. 14, 2016) Tanger Outlets Ocean City is rallying shoppers to participate in the “Tanger Pink Movement” this October to support ongoing efforts to end breast cancer during its Tanger PinkSTYLE campaign. The Tanger PinkSTYLE campaign launched on Oct. 1 and runs through Oct. 31. This year, shoppers will have two ways to save: with a physical or mobile version of the Pink Card, available at Tanger Outlets Ocean City Shopper Services, on the Tanger app or by visiting www.tangeroutlet.com/pinkstyle. Both versions, available for $5, offer 25 percent off a single item, one time per day, in participating stores, with unlimited use through the end of the month. Proceeds from the campaign will support Women Supporting Women, a local organization dedicated to providing awareness, education and support to those affected by breast cancer. On the national level, the campaign will also support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), the high-

est-rated breast cancer organization according to Charity Watch in the U.S. “We are proud to join forces with our valued shoppers and retailers across the U.S. and Canada to raise awareness and much-needed funds for breast cancer research and prevention,” said Steven B. Tanger, president and chief executive officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. “We empathize with every customer, retailer and employee who has been affected by this disease. We are fully committed to supporting these important organizations, with the goal of finding a cure to a disease that has affected so many families.” Since 1994, Tanger has contributed about $17 million to breast cancer research through the PinkSTYLE campaign, 5K races, on-site events and other breast cancer-related fundraising initiatives. In support of the PinkSTYLE campaign, this year, Tanger Outlet Centers will also host local events and moments to rally shoppers in the fight against breast cancer.

weekend that will bring visitors to join in the fun. If you want to join in and don’t want to drive, get out your Halloween finest and join us at 13th Street for a walk.” There is a $25 donation fee for nonvintage license plate participants and those vehicles and bicycles must be decorated. There is no fee for those with an Ocean City “vintage” license plate (these are not vintage car tags but the special Ocean City plate). Proof of insurance is required for all participants. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Ocean City Downtown Association. Registration forms are available at www.downtownassociation.net. For additional information, contact Howard at 443-235-4405 or e-mail neffiehoward@comcast.net. To obtain an Ocean City vintage plate, visit www.oceancitymd.gov.

Worcester Preparatory School Headmaster Dr. Barry Tull congratulates senior Ava Schwartz of Salisbury, on being named a 2017 National Merit Scholar semifinalist.

Ava Schwartz National Merit Scholarship ‘17 semifinalist (Oct. 14, 2016) Dr. Barry Tull, headmaster of Worcester Preparatory School, recently announced that Ava Schwartz, of Salisbury, has been named a semifinalist in the 62nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. As a semifinalist, she will continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition and become eligible to become a National Merit Scholar. About 1.6 million juniors in more than

22,000 high schools entered the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. National Merit Scholarship winners of 2017 will be announced in April.

Some of the Foundation’s scholarships are available for students in particular high schools, while others target specific

college majors and professional careers. While most Foundation scholarships do not limit students to a particular course of study, there are scholarships available for students wishing to pursue careers in teaching, architecture, engineering or healthcare.

Commentary

Overtime law must be learned quickly

If you think you can get around paying overtime by bestowing a title on an employee, or you think compensatory time is the easy nonmonetary solution to covering that time-and-a-half owed, or if you think no one will be paying attention to your business practices because your company is small, think again. All it takes is one unhappy employee and a telephone to ring up penalties and damages large enough to put you out of business. That’s the way it is with the state and federal overtime regulations now and it’s going to become even more difficult to get around the rules as of Dec. 1, when the federal Department of Labor’s new requirements go into effect. With some exceptions, workers who aren’t making more than $47,000 and change in annual base pay are going to be entitled to overtime and that covers a great deal of territory in small business-oriented Worcester County. It also makes no difference what you might call them, managers, administrators or executives, the rules are based on what an employee actually does, rather than on what some title might suggest. Like all federal regulations, these are complicated and sometimes subject to interpretation, so assuming you understand the rules is really gambling with your business. Whether you knowingly violated the law or made an innocent mistake, the penalties will be the same. Owners and operators of small businesses might have a legitimate gripe about some aspects of the new rules, which, by qualifying more people for overtime, will make next year’s budget tougher to meet. But that’s not going to change anything and is why owners and managers need to attend next Tuesday’s seminar offered by the Ocean City Hotel, Motel, Restaurant Association and the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. Unless you have labor lawyers on retainer, this session is the best opportunity you’ll have to find out how the new law applies to you. You can bet your employees are going to know how the law is going to work, so you need to know as well.

Strengthen light in Maryland aryland’s citizens have the right to know how government transacts business on their behalf. To help set this culture of openness, Maryland legislators created the Public Information Act in 1970, followed by the Open Meetings Act in 1977. There are two volunteer boards that provide an outlet for citizen complaints relating to these acts and serve as an alternate or intermediate step before a dispute is taken to court. The Open Meetings Compliance board was refreshed with new board members in 2015, and issues non-binding advisory opinions. Members of the newly created Public Information Act Compliance Board were appointed in spring 2016. That board reviews complaints regarding fees over $350 for information under the Public Information Act. Both compliance boards recently issued annual reports. The Open Meetings Compliance Board received more complaints (41 this year) and issued more opinions than in previous years. The first year for the Public Information Act Compliance Board saw five members appointed and nine complaints submitted, with five opinions issued. Both boards have committed, active volunteer members that take open government issues seriously. However, the advice provided by the opinions shows that there is significant progress to be made regarding government transparency in Maryland. The compliance boards have limited jurisdiction and no ability to compel government to release information or to open meetings. However, the compliance boards are making the most of their purview. In reading the opinions referred to within the annual report, the Open Meetings Compliance Board (OMCB) often urges public

bodies to consider not only the letter of the law, but the public’s perception of openness in transacting public business. In several instances, as a result of the complaints filed, Maryland’s public bodies have changed their practices to become more transparent or to remove the perception of wrongdoing. For instance, Maryland Economic Development Assistance Authority and Fund will now adopt minutes by email when there is no meeting scheduled for the next month. The Prince George’s County Local Development Council now has an email subscription list to notify interested members of the public of its meetings. These and other instances are commendable, yet balanced by instances where the public body did not even respond to inquiries by the Open Meetings Compliance Board, or have been cited multiple times for similar violations. There are many instances in the opinions where the board members note that the same or similar issue has been addressed with the same public body previously. Some public bodies never seem to learn, or care, about investing citizens in public business. Taking into account that the compliance board hears only the complaints that someone has taken the time to write up and file, Maryland’s public often may be turned away or unaware of meetings. The Public Information Act Compliance Board (PIACB) is newly formed. In its first report, it noted that their jurisdiction is targeted only to assessing the reasonableness of fees over $350. Several complainants were turned away because their issue concerned fee waivers and were referred to the new Public Access Ombudsman. The board felt the ombudsman “provided extraordinary service to the public” and the See COMPLIANCE Page 86

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher Marylanders have some work to do. At a time when we’re supposed to be celebrating Beer Month in these parts, out come the results of a survey that says, in terms of beer consumption, we’re a glass halfempty state. As it turns out, only 45 percent of the bar habitués in this state say beer is By their drink of choice Stewart when they’re in a waDobson tering hole or some similar social venue with friends, family or persons they don’t know but can tolerate by virtue of reasonable alcohol intake. That makes Maryland rank eighth — Eighth! — in the country as far as beer drinking goes. This is like being named Miss Congeniality in a weightlifting competition — it’s an honor, I suppose, but a dubious one. This also means that 55 percent of Marylanders are probably drinking something with fruit or an umbrella in it, which violates the sacred tradition of crab cakes and beer. “Yes, my ever-attentive server, I’ll have the crab cakes, Saltines, and whatever you have to drink that

comes in a coconut shell.” Things have changed over the years. In the beer-drinking days of old, there was a television commercial for a Philadelphia brewery, Schmidt’s, I think, that used to say, “This is the beer for real beer drinkers, those who drink a case or more a week.” No one I know of, with the exception of maybe one close relative, drinks a case of beer or more a week. He likes it and is always in a good mood, so good for him. Meanwhile, everyone else is drinking wine, froufrou fermentations, like cider. Even craft beer aficionados don’t guzzle like they used to. They’re too busy detecting their beverage’s delicate nose and savoring its “fruity notes” with a hint of this and that to recognize beer’s true purpose on this planet: to deliver a certain amount of alcohol to the system. If it tastes good, that’s a plus. All I’m saying is that we need to do better in this regard. We owe it to the industry and to ourselves to make Maryland a Great Beer Drinking State once again. And by the way, it’s now being reported that beer helps prevent kidney stones. No kidding. Personally, I find that as good an excuse as any to down a couple of cold ones and do my part for the honor of the state.

Compliance boards should have enforcement powers Continued from Page 85 office is invaluable in working to resolve disputes between requestors and records custodians. The small number of opinions issued (two of substance and three citing the complaint as outside the Board’s jurisdiction) is most likely due to the introduction of this concept to the general public. Already, the PIACB sees room for improvement. For instance, the board seeks a legislative tweak in clarifying “that charges for duplicate reviews [of requested material] are not permitted, or are permitted only for specific legitimate purposes.” Further, the board puzzled over delays in response times and noted that “the law should ensure that records are produced as quickly as possible and without undue delay.” Further, it noted that “some custodians view the 30 days as the standard

and do not provide records sooner than 30 days, even when the materials are readily available.” The Board suggested that 15-day intervals in cases where the substance of the request is unchanged, instead of the prescribed 30-day intervals, would allow information to be shared more quickly. We look to the attorney general’s interim report, slated to be released at the end of the year, to better understand how citizens and journalists view these boards and what can be done to make them more effective. The real answer here may be to invest the compliance boards with enforceable powers and the ability to levy fees for repeated violations, moving them beyond the power of suggestion and opinion.
