Data postings show improvement despite heavy rain in June
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The numbers are in and they’re not bad, not bad at all, despite a miserably slow spring that put a damper on the launch of Ocean City’s traditional tourist season. As it turned out, Ocean City had a slight increase in tourism numbers over last year, according to Smith Travel Research (STR), a data research firm that compiles room and visitor information for the lodging industry. At the minimum, more than 30 percent of the lodging properties in Ocean City are included in the data. “It is mandatory and a franchise requirement to report room information to the STR,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “Some independent hotels also participate, including the Carousel See ROOM Page 5

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office will not be filing charges against an Ocean City police officer who struck and killed a pedestrian with her cruiser in May. “After reviewing the investigators’ findings, State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby has informed us that while the outcome in the incident was tragic, there is no criminal liability to consider,” Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said. On May 5, 67-year-old Jeffrey Yale Delong was crossing Coastal Highway east to west around 94th Street with two other pedestrians around 1:11 a.m. He was struck by a marked police Chevy Tahoe operated by Officer Xeniya Patterson. Delong was taken by Ocean City Emergency Medical Services to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, where he was declared dead, acSee STATE Page 7
Marine sanctuary campaign worries anglers Baltimore Canyon could be protected, although fishing would be allowed, for now
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) Representatives of local fishing enterprises are worried that a recent push to designate the Baltimore Canyon as a marine sanctuary off the
coast of Ocean City could put the area out of bounds to all anglers. The National Aquarium on Monday launched a petition to establish the 28mile long, five-mile wide submarine rift as its first Urban National Marine Sanctuary. The canyon contains several fragile deep-sea corals rarely seen anywhere else in the world. According to the nonprofit, this measure would protect its ecosystem and restrict the offshore ex-
ploration of minerals, oil and gas. “The Baltimore Canyon is an aquatic treasure!” National Aquarium Chief Conservation Officer Kris Hoellen said. “It contains fragile deep sea corals rarely seen anywhere in the world as well as unique biological processes, such as methane seeps. Based on its ecological value, these corals and biological processes are irreplaceable and should be protected.”
That canyon is also a popular destination of Ocean City’s multi-million-dollar fishing industry, which could be left on the outside looking in if the standard sanctuary restrictions apply. “Under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, there are certain acts that are prohibitive in sanctuaries. That includes anything that will injure, remove, damage kill any sanctuary resource,” RecreSee NO Page 3

No provision in place to protect fishermen Continued from Page 1 ational Fishing Alliance policy researcher John DePersenaire said. “A sanctuary resource is defined as any living and nonliving resource that has any cultural, commercial and recreational value to it. We’ve gotten word that [fishing regulation] is not the National Aquarium’s intent. But if you read the law, there’s no legal protection for fishermen in there.” The National Aquarium, which has met with representatives of the local fishing community, is aware of these concerns. Hoellen said that the sanctuary designation will not propose any new regulations. “The National Aquarium wants to ensure recreational fishing is protected and remained regulated under the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and NOAA [The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration],” she said. “We’re in first stages of this process, which focused on gaining public support and creating a formal nomination package to submit to NOAA for consideration. NOAA will review and conduct an environmental impact statement, which will have many opportunities for public comments.” Moreover, she added, the sanctuary designation will be a boon to the local ecotourism revenue by ensuring it will not be disrupted by extractive technologies. “It will preserve the biological processes necessary for a vibrant recreational fishing industry and economy for the long-term,” Hoellen said. However, DePersenaire said that the deep-sea corals already had protection through the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, which prohibits all bottom trawling in the offshore canyons from Montauk, New York down to Virginia. Limiting oil and gas exploration could also be addressed through other legislative avenues. He also thought that the public’s concerns brought up in meetings could fall on deaf ears since the final authority on the matter will be Secretary of Commerce Penny Sue Pritzker. “While the process may be a bit deliberate and open for public review, it’s still a top-down process. It may start out that fishing is allowed, but at some point, at the whim of the secretary, that may change,” he said. “At a long-term stand-

point, this is something you’re going to constantly be battling.” National Aquarium officials, local sportfishing representatives and Sen. Jim Mathias met shortly before the maritime sanctuary campaign was announced. Although an agreement was reached to protect anglers, many fishermen left the meeting troubled. “Until I hear or see something in writing, there’s no way I can be in favor of it,” OC Marlin Club president and charter boat captain Franky Pettolina said. “I fear that once they make it a maritime sanctuary, they may try and go further and attempt to prohibit recreational fishing in a attempt to protect everything in the area.” Jim Motsko, the founder and director of the White Marlin Open, said that the designation without any allowance for anglers would spiral out to other jurisdictions. “Let’s put it this way, if they won’t
allow commercial fishing, it would be terrible for not just Ocean City, but for New Jersey and Delaware because fishermen all fish out of the same canyon. Unless there’s some sort of provision from the start, it’s going to be harder down the road to fix it,” Motsko said. Pettolina agreed and pointed out that the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center is leading a similar movement for the Norfolk Canyon south of Ocean City, while another effort from New York is aimed at the Hudson Canyon, which stretches out from Long Island. “They’re basically hop scotching the coast on the canyons, and I’ve never known our government to restrict something and leave it at the base level of restriction,” Pettolina said. Both men said that if anglers could not fish in the Baltimore Canyon, the local economy will eventually suffer. “I don’t know if it’ll happen, but it’ll
be a major problem on boat manufacturers, maritime storage and marinas if it does. The tournament would be impacted drastically,” Motsko said. Looking at the long run, Pettolina saw lasting effects on Ocean City’s tourist revenue stream. “It would affect the hotels, the restaurants that sell the food and the people that rent the boats to go fishing,” he said. “It’s a web, and if you shut down one area, it would be felt further and further down the line.” National Aquarium representatives and local fishing representatives, including Motsko and Pettolina, will be meeting to discuss the Urban National Marine Sanctuary designation further at the Ocean City Marlin Club in West Ocean City in November. More information about the sanctuary designation and its petition can be found at www.aqua.org/baltimorecanyon.

Room, food tax steadily rises in early months, August flat Continued from Page 1 and the Grand Hotel because it is good data to compare your numbers to similar hotels.” In addition, Ocean City uses the statistics to compare tourism trends with comparable beaches such us the Jersey Shore, Delaware, Myrtle Beach and Virginia. In June, tax revenue was up slightly over 2015. That includes a two percent increase in room taxes and a 2.8 percent jump in sales tax. Food taxes were down 3.9 percent for June, because the 5.22 inches of rain the resort received that month hurt Ocean City’s outdoor eateries, Jones said. “Room taxes continually increase each year and I do not think we have ever had a decrease,” Jones said. “Although higher tax revenue numbers indicate everything is going well, looking at occupancy numbers and other indicators is important, since tax rates are constantly going up.” Despite the bad weather, room occupancy in June was up by 3.9 percent, with 76.9 percent of rooms sold as compared to 74 percent in 2015. In addition, Smith Travel Research also calculates an average daily room rate (ADR), which looks at total revenue, the number of rooms sold and revenue per available room (RevPAR). The latter takes the total guest room revenue and divides it by the number of available rooms. “The RevPAR differs from the ADR because it’s affected by the number of unoccupied available rooms, whereas the average daily rate shows the rooms actually sold,” Jones said. There was a two percent increase from last year in the ADR and a 6.1 percent increase in the RevPAR for the month of June.
“Many hotel owners live by the RevPAR numbers because it means they are getting as much profit out of a room as they can,” Jones said. In July, tax revenue increased over 2015, including an 11.7 percent spike in room tax collections and a 9 percent increase in sales tax. Food taxes were also up by nine percent. Occupancy for July also went up by 2 percent over the year before, with 85.3 percent of rooms sold this year as compared to 83.6 percent in 2015. There was a 3 percent increase from last year in the ADR and a 5 percent increase in the RevPAR for the month of July. In addition, July this year had five Saturdays, whereas July 2015 had four. While business activity in the two previous months posted gains, August was more or less flat in terms of room occupancy and restaurants saw a decrease. Room taxes were up by less than one percent (sales tax numbers were unavailable) and food taxes decreased by 8.5 percent. Occupancy numbers went up by less than half a percent, with 85.1 percent of rooms sold as compared to 84.7 percent in 2015. Despite that minor change in occupancy, the rooms that were sold brought in more money — a 2.1 percent increase in the ADR and a 17.1 increase in the RevPAR. “It is important to keep in mind when reading the numbers that there were five weekends in August last year compared to four in 2016,” Jones said. “The weather was great and it was really hot. Adding events at the end of the season such as Hotel Week and the increasingly popular Jeep Week has boosted those numbers, in addition to school after Labor Day.”

TAKING A REST A butterfly lands near the Ocean City pier to take a rest on a windy Saturday last weekend. The downtown area was bustling with O.C.Toberfest activities, which continue this weekend.
State police investigators will present report to OCPD soon Continued from Page 1 cording to press releases. Patterson was not injured in the collision. The officer was placed on administrative leave and returned to active duty on May 8. Maryland State Police’s crash team Cpl. Charles Gore conducted the three-month investigation and submitted a report to his superior officers for review at the end of August. The investigation included reviewing cell phone and blood records, and surveillance cameras. The dash cam on the police vehicle was operating at the time of the crash and was used as evidence. Gore had also attempted to interview the two pedestrians who were with Delong at the time of the crash, but one did not want to speak with police after issuing his statement. The crash team also took weather conditions and visibility into account in his report. After the report was reviewed by Gore’s superior, it was presented to
the state’s attorney in the county to decide if charges will be brought against Patterson. City Councilman and Police Commission chair Doug Cymek said officials were notified last Friday that the Maryland State Police crash team’s 138-page report was delivered to the state’s attorney’s office. “We haven’t seen it yet, but the crux of it is that it totally exonerates the officer. She was operating the vehicle properly,” Cymek said. Sometime next week state police investigators will present their findings to OCPD command staff members. No city officials will be in attendance, Ocean City Today was told. Richard said that more details of the report will be released after this meeting. “We also would like to mention that this tragic incident truly affected everyone involved,” she said. “The OCPD offers sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Delong.”

Eagle, of Berlin, dies from injuries following auto crash (Oct. 28, 2016) Sydney Eagle, 81, of Berlin, was killed Tuesday after the car he was driving collided with a wooden utility pole. Police said he was initially taken to Atlantic General Hospital and then to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. According to Sheriff’s Office PIO Ed Schreier, deputies were called to Worcester Highway south of Racetrack Road at 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday where a 2011 Toyota Camry had
crashed into the pole. The pole was knocked down, and the vehicle had sustained significant front-end damage, Schreier reported. Eagle, the driver of the vehicle, was removed from the wreck and taken to the hospital. The crash is under investigation by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cpl. Christopher Larmore at 410-6321112 or clarmore@co.worcester.md.us
Baltimore woman dies after car veers off Snow Hill Road (Oct. 28, 2016) Renee Elise Jackson, 40, of Baltimore was travelling south on Snow Hill Road Tuesday night near Slim Chance Lane when, for reasons still unknown to investigators, she veered across the northbound lane and into the roadside ditch, striking a drain pipe. She was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a Maryland State Police press release. The accident occurred close to where Snow Hill Road is currently de-
toured onto Millville Road due to storm damage. The accident occurred at about 10:30 p.m., and Jackson was the sole occupant of the 2008 Nissan Altima when she crashed. Jackson’s body was sent to the Chief Medical Officer’s office in Baltimore for an autopsy. The investigation is ongoing. The Worcester Sherriff, Fire Police, Snow Hill Fire Department and the Chief Medical Officer’s office all assisted state police in the investigation.

Active duty nominees celebrate vets’ legacy Continued from Page 11 He also reminisced with Wagner as the pair both registered for the Navy when they turned 18. “What’s very unique about it is we both started in the first grade together and we went through grammar school together and the same high school. When we came back we both got the GI Bill and finished our last year of high school.” Richard Lamberson, a Marine veteran, said like many 17 year-olds he ignored parental advice when he joined the military. “My father thought I was crazy and after a couple weeks in boot camp, he was right,” he said. “Most of my buddies are all dead and I’m lucky I’m still alive.” Also signing up for the Marines at age 17 was Al Kessler, whose tour of duty lasted longer than many.

OCEAN CITY ELECTION
Profiles of candidates for office in Ocean City government began last week. This week’s candidates are Doug Cymek and Tony DeLuca.
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) For his eight years on the Ocean City Council, Doug Cymek says his number one priority has been public safety, and he hopes that he can continue concentrating on that in the next four years. “Over the years, I’ve earned a lot of lot of trust with the police officers,” he said. “They’ve shared confidential issues and I use that understanding to resolve issues within the force. If re-elected, I want to continue doing so.” Cymek has owned and operated a general contracting management firm in Ocean City for 42 years. During that time he also served as a private investigator, which he said was inspired by his family’s lifelong dedication to law enforcement. These two interests — police and residential building — are two things that would foreshadow Cymek’s political career. He became involved with the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10’s efforts towards collective bargaining in the early 1990s after
graduating in the first Ocean City Police Department’s citizen academy. He first ran for City Council unsuccessfully in 1996 and won in 2008. “I felt sympathetic [for the police union] and I stood in the cold with them at the Food Lion to collect signatures to get it on the ballot. When I ran for council, I made it clear to them that I would do what was best for the Town of Ocean City and its taxpayers. They received that favorably, and we’ve had a good relationship since,” he said. Cymek was also made the chair of the Police Commission in 2013 and said the last few months he and other officials had been focusing on the police department’s dwindling numbers. “I talked with officers to prioritize the reasons why they moved on, and

they referred to it as a work balance,” he said. “In the 1990s, they were eager to get as much overtime as they

could. But things have changed; people want their life and ideally work 40 hours a week on the weekdays. That’s not practical for police.” He added that the city is preparing for a reorganization of the department since several people, primarily lieutenants, will be retiring in the upcoming year. Boardwalk business owners have requested an increased police presence, and Cymek feels that retention and recruitment needs to be given a hard look in the future. “A lot of people are going to move up in the ranks. We were also down in summer officers. There’s mixed feelings in the department on whether they’d like to see more seasonal officers or year-round ones. It’s a delicate balance on that decision,” he said. See INCUMBENT Page 14

Incumbent hopes to keep cohesive council Continued from Page 13 As for his other area of interest, planning and community development, Cymek said that he wants to help make the permit process for construction more user-friendly and to continue with housing enforcement through the PRESS (Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe-housing) Committee. “I think that people will be impressed with the comparison [housing and maximum occupancy enforcement] between this year and last year,” Cymek said. “We still do have people complaining about the motor events and that there’s eight cars parked in front of houses and we try to educate people. But it’s been moving along.”
E- T R EC EL
Although he has limited experience with tourism matters, Cymek said that he is interested in welcoming events through the Tourism Advisory Board’s recommendation and replacing others. One event he would be interested in removing city funding for is OC BikeFest. The four-day festival received funding this year after a contentious discussion between the City Council and the Tourism Advisory Board Vice-Chairman John Gehrig in September. Cymek said he was surprised about Gehrig’s decision to run in the upcoming election. “That council session, tempers got flared up and I think that was the catalyst that led Mr. Gehrig to run,” he
said. “But we made it very clear that the event had more than enough time to get on its feet. I’ve talked with previous promoters and they said that it’s been very profitable.” On other policies, Cymek said that he is invested in continuing road and canal work and supporting the median safety project until it is built throughout the resort. The first phase will be from 62nd Street to Convention Center Drive. He also hopes to see a tax differential deal struck with the county, which would give residents a lower county tax rate because Ocean City provides some of the same services as the county. “We’re provided grant money, but it doesn’t cover it all.

show that we’re providing millions in duplicated services and it’s adding up quick. We’re sending 58 percent of property tax from Ocean City and I don’t see the fairness in what we’re getting back,” he said. On other fiscal matters, he pointed out that he has served in the recession of 2008 and required a hard look at the city’s budget. At the time, Cymek remembered what then City Manager Dennis Dare told him: “cut the low-hanging fruit.” “What followed was that we went through hundreds of line items of about $6 million, and we were able to carve that out to this day,” he said. When asked about his weaknesses on the council, Cymek said there were not enough hours in the day to achieve everything that the taxpayers needed. As for his strengths, he referenced his ability to assist individuals with their problems, as his background as a private investigator helps him get to the bottom of a situation smoothly. “We work hard at maintaining a cohesive council. I’ve been on both sides, as a majority and a minority. Now we have a council that works well together,” he said. “Things aren’t always as rosy as you see in open session, but despite that we do our best for Ocean City. I’d truly like to see it stay like that.”

OCEAN CITY ELECTION DeLuca promises to continue no tax increases for OC By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) Tony DeLuca has served the shortest term of the Ocean City Council incumbents who are seeking re-election this year, but he feels like he’s seen much accomplished in his time in office. “Two years have gone by so fast, I feel like I was just elected. I really love this city and I wanted to give back to the community. There’s a lot of things I think I can accomplish,” he said. “When I first ran, there were a couple of campaign items I wanted to accomplish. I did it, and I’m going to do it again consistently.” DeLuca’s political career in Ocean City began in 2014 when he won the seat vacated by Joe Mitrecic, after the latter ran successfully for Worcester County Commissioner. Before that, he had vacationed in the resort for years before permanently moving here in 2008. He retired after a 40-year career with KFC at Yum! Brands Inc., overseeing sales and people for 2,000 stores. “I’m strong with people issues such as human resources. My training in that from corporate marketing is irre-

placeable. My business background helps with budgeting,” he said. Speaking on finances, DeLuca initially ran on a platform of keeping the city’s operating budget to constant yield, which meant no tax increase. Each year he was in office, DeLuca said, he kept his word. “One of our first meetings as a council is that we took the Homestead Credit [a fixed increase on property tax assessments] from three percent to zero for full-time residents,” he said. “The next thing was that with the 2016 budget, I said ‘this is going to be a zero-dollar increase.’ And it was flat.” The following year, the budget inSee CANDIDATE Page 16

Examining Ocean City’s revenue, DeLuca said that bolstering the resort’s tourism industry by enhancing city operations could help bring up the tax base. One crucial aspect he wanted to concentrate on was the bus system. In the past years, visitors had flooded City Hall with emails about late or full buses. Last summer, city officials received no complaints. “That’s incredible to me. We really focused on our driver recruitment ef-
forts because of the past problems, and we’re starting to look at a bus route app,” DeLuca said. “But when you look at tourism, the numbers are up – rooms were up 3.9 percent – but not ridership.” DeLuca, who serves on the Transportation Commission, said he has also done much in terms of supporting the police through pedestrian safety initiatives such as building new well-lit crosswalks and lowering the speed limit on Coastal Highway. Tools such as the upcoming median barrier between 62nd and Convention Center Drive would also help support the police. “I’d like to stop the accidents. We can push on Coastal Highway but a lot of that is not ours, it’s state funding.
To me, we need help, not more police officers. Let’s give them the tools and aid to do their job,” he said. He also pointed out that one of his main objectives, building a continuous bicycle path that runs for 20 blocks, would also improve public safety. “There’s been small steps and we’ve had some easement issues, but you can do it. My main goal is to get the bikes off Coastal Highway for a safe and fun ride,” DeLuca said. The proposed bike path has been pushed through the Green Team, which is an environmental commission on which DeLuca serves. He considers the commission as one of his accomplishments, since it successfully launched Adopt Your Street, Adopt
Your Beach and garnered a sustainable Maryland certification for the resort in the past year. “Because we’re a green destination, we had an electric rate decrease. That’s the first time in Ocean City history we could qualify for that,” he said. “That’s dollars in the taxpayers’ pockets and something I’m really proud of.” If re-elected, DeLuca would like to continue advocating for transparency in the government, starting with establishing a strategic financial plan. “What that will consist of is a list of infrastructure total projects that include its priority, what year we’ll do it in and where is the funding. No one should walk into council and say ‘by the way, we need $100,000 to fix something,’” he said. “I’ve been pushing this plan for two years and we’re almost there.” When asked about his weaknesses, DeLuca said that he is too detail-oriented with issues at hand. As for his strengths, he said that his directness and devotion to the resort makes him an ideal councilman. “I’ve been here all my life,” he said. “I look at this service as a way to do things for the beach, the streets and my grandkids and their kids. I’m very committed to Ocean City.”

Hundreds attend marathon event to honor Buddy Trala Good natured but raucous party celebrates winner of Hal Glick Service Award
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) This year’s Hal Glick Distinguished Service Award Gala was part roast, part celebration of the honor’s late namesake, and part rags-to-riches story of a man who started working in local restaurants, caught a lucky break, and spent a good portion of his life paying that luck forward. Occasionally, the evening included lewd cardboard cutouts, bizarre videos, and the feverish screams of a minor celebrity wearing a large chicken mask. More than 500 people came to the gala Sunday at the Clarion hotel on 101st Street to honor Sunset Grille owner George Vincent “Buddy” Trala. Co-chair Warren Rosenfeld said this year’s event was “by far” the largest ever, adding that, even though he only knew Hal Glick for about six years before he passed away in 2015, he missed the man’s presence. He asked the audience to “be good” to Glick’s wife, Christine, and daughter, Lauren, both of whom were in the audience.
“Hal not only was the first recipient [of the award], but he was the driving force that resulted in this being the event that it is,” Rosenfeld said. Co-chairman Jeff Thaler said the Glick Award was unique because it not only recognized philanthropy and community service, but it also raised money for organizations designated by the honoree. This year, he said the event grossed about $120,000, roughly $80,000 of which would be designated for Atlantic General Hospital, Temple Bat Yam, Diakonia and the Rebecca and Leighton Moore Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit at PRMC. Trala was born on Christmas Day in 1962 and grew up on the Eastern Shore. He credited his parents, Joan and Larry, with instilling in him a strong worth ethnic and teaching him the importance of giving back. He has been given the “Hero by the Sea” award for his efforts with Believe in Tomorrow, was named a “Ray of Light” by Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services in 2008, and called the “Champion of Children” by Casey Cares in 2015.

Celebrity endorsements, old stories flavor award dinner Continued from Page 18 of Ocean 98 said there was “nobody in this room that deserves this award more than Buddy Trala. “Well, except Al. And Tom. And Mike. And Denise. And Tammy. But other than them, that’s it,” Rothner said, referring to his radio brethren. Rothner showed a video of “people who were not able to make it” that included, supposedly, Trala’s former math teacher, driver’s ed. instructor and cellmate. “It’s when things are bad that there’s one person that is always right by your side, and that’s Buddy Trala. It doesn’t matter what the bad thing is – if it’s health, Buddy is right by your side. If it is a financial problem, Buddy is right by your side,” Rothner said. “Buddy, I think I speak on behalf of everybody in this room when I say, ‘stay the hell away from us, you’re bad luck.’” Radio and television personality Erich “Mancow” Muller took the stage next, wearing a bright yellow chicken mask. “I had sex with Frank Perdue and it was wonderful,” Muller said, before introducing a video that included Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider calling Trala “a total a..hole” and former professional wrestler Jake “The
Snake” Roberts giving the 2016 Glick Award recipient the finger. Rick Springfield and “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams also made appearances, among others. “I just wanted to congratulate Buddy on winning this terrific award tonight,” Williams said, adding, “didn’t we just do this for Leighton?” Secrets owner Leighton Moore went as far as showing a five-minute, booze-fueled home movie of a trip Trala and several friends vacationing in the Grand Canyon, circa 2005. He also produced a life-size cardboard cutout of his friend wearing a kilt. Later, when he turned the cutout around, he revealed that Trala was “honestly” wearing said kilt, sans pants. “True story about that. It happened in New York and he stopped a city bus – they stopped to look at his ass,” Rothner said. “That is 100 percent true.” Sisters Laura Trala and Aliesa Pitt continued the visual gags, showing off a slide show that ranged from a young Trala dressed in a feathered leotard and crown, to a teenage Trala resembling David Cassidy in the 1970s. “I’ve been waiting 50 years to get even for all kinds of childhood See LONG Page 22

Long night of praise, roasting wraps on sentimental note
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Hal Glick Award recipient Buddy Trala delivers his acceptance speech, as his wife, Christy, looks on approvingly during Sunday’s event at the Clarion hotel on 101st Street. At the far right, is a photo of Trala in a kilt, which, from the rear, apparently offered an out-of-kilter viewpoint.
Continued from Page 20 pranks,” Laura said, adding that Trala started signing his name “George Thomas Vincent Trala Esquire III” when he was just 7. Things got a little more sentimental when Trala’s wife, Christy, took the stage and invoked his late mother. “I know the spirit of your mom is in this room tonight. She really is so proud of you, I know, as we all are,” she said. “You’re a lot like your mom in all the kind things that you do for other people and always making people feel special. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you. I’m so glad to be standing here as your wife.” Christy said she met Trala at Pickles Pub in Ocean City and, after she
had a bad car accident, he was among the first to call and visit her. She was still on crutches when they went on their first date, to a restaurant with stairs, and he carried her. “Buddy’s not only a husband, but he’s my best friend and my hero,” she said. “I’ve been very fortunate to live a full life of traveling and fun with my best friend.” Friend and coworker Dean Geracimos started working with Trala at the Embers restaurant in the late 1980s. “In my eyes, Buddy, has evolved into what I consider an incredible human being,” he said. Beyond the awards and the public accomplishments, Geracimos said, Trala also regularly goes grocery shopping for a local elderly man and delivers food to an area nursing home. He often helps his employees with bills and takes care of struggling families, anonymously, during the holiday season. “When I [say] Buddy innately makes sure that the children are looked after, I don’t mean for a day or a week,” Geracimos said. “He continues to look after these kids for years. “The greatest thing about Buddy being a phenomenal human being is what he does, how he acts, his nature – it’s contagious,” he continued. “His friends see it, his family sees it, his employees see it, and what I’m most excited [for] is my kids have seen it.” Christine Glick said she was proud of Trala’s generosity and that her late husband was humbled when, after he received the inaugural Distinguished Service Award, the honor continued going “to so many generous, giving leaders in our community.” “These leader have dedicated their lives, giving back to charities [and] organizations in need that are so special to their hearts,” she said. “I wish to thank all of you, from the Glick family.” Last year’s Glick Award recipient, Jack Burbage, introduced Trala, who accepted the award with his wife at his side. “This is amazing. Everyone that’s been speaking for me, everyone that’s been up here, are my heroes,” he said. “Everything tonight is not for me – it’s for Christine and Hal.” He ended with a quote from “The Wizard of Oz,” which he tearfully said was written inside a card recently given to him by two close friends. It read, “A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.” About four hours into the marathon event, Rothner took the stage once more. “Now we’ll begin the second half of the evening,” he said with a laugh. “It has been an incredible night, for sure, and … nobody deserves it more. Buddy, it has been unbelievable getting to know you over the years. A friend like Buddy comes around very rarely, if ever.”

Maryland topless laws under review by state officials
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The legality of female bare-chestedness in Maryland is being examined by the Office of the Attorney General based on a request for clarification from a national advocate on the topic. Lifelong Eastern Shore resident Chelsea Covington said several months ago she wrote to Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby who then contacted the attorney general contending the applicable laws were vague. “I had written to him asking him to confirm bare-chested legality, as I have done in many other places,” she said. “Female bare-chestedness is clearly legal in Maryland, as it is in many other states, but he wasn’t comfortable I guess telling police departments it was legal without the backing of the OAG.” Covington is part of the topfreedom movement that seeks legal protection for females to go topless in public places where men are allowed to be sans shirt. The argument centers on gender equality and the topfreedom advocates seek to repeal laws restricting a woman’s rights to uncover her breasts in public. “It really isn’t an “Ocean City” debate from my end, it’s a Maryland question,” Covington said. “It never was just about Ocean City.” At its core the topfreedom movement is about equality under the law, Covington said. “Maryland’s constitution and high court afford the highest guarantee of gender equality in the country with a clearly established ‘absolute prohibition’ standard against gender classification, which means there exists no justification for treating genders differently when making or enforcing law, at the state or local level,” she said. According to the website gotopless.org, 33 states have legal protection for female bare-chestedness, with only Indiana, Tennessee and Utah outlawing the practice. Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey are among 14 states with ambiguous laws, according to the site. “Our neighbors in Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, New York and North Carolina offer less constitutional gender equality protection than Maryland yet still recognize female barechestedness as legal, and it is being practiced in all of these places,” she said. Covington has been selective in seeking media coverage on the issue. “Up to now I have declined pretty much all media requests, especially television ones, because mainstream media outlets tell me they can’t show bare female breasts without blurring or trigger warnings,” she said. “I don’t feel that I can participate in that without solidifying the idea that breasts are See LEGAL Page 24

Man gets community service for B’walk fight College student pleads to drug possession, disorderly conduct after July incident
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) One man accused of enflaming a crowd of hundreds of people during the Boardwalk melee last July pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and possession of a class four controlled substance on Wednesday morning in Ocean City District Court. Tuflah Davies, 19, of Silver Spring was also charged with resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia. His attorney and Deputy State’s Attorney Paul Haskell reached an agreement since Davies pleaded guilty to the more serious charges. Davies was one of 11 people who
were arrested on the Boardwalk on July 23 and July 24. According to several police reports, a wild crowd spiraled out of control and assaulted police officers after a man was arrested for throwing a trash can around 9:45 p.m. According to the state’s attorney’s statement of facts, the situation became worse after midnight. Haskell told the court that police saw roughly 500 people head north on Seventh Street on the Boardwalk, and police were attempting to disperse the crowd. “Davies was seen walking aggressively to the line of police and yelling ‘f*** the police’ and yelling that they could say whatever they wanted,” Haskell said. Within two minutes of Davies shouting, the crowd again became unruly and started throwing bottles at the police, according to the police report.
When police attempted to arrest Davies, he refused to put his arms behind his back. Ultimately, officers had to forcefully handcuff him and then escorted him from the Boardwalk. Police also found marijuana and three Alprazolam, more commonly known by the brand name Xanax, pills in his pocket. Davies’ attorney, John Harvey, sought leniency, since both the charges he admitted guilt to carry serious sentences. Possession of a class four controlled substance has a maximum sentence of four years in prison or up to $25,000 in fines. The disorderly conduct charge is punishable with 60 days in jail or $500 in fines. “You have a teenager in front of you, even though he looks like a man. He is a student at West Virginia University and has tremendous support from his

community,” Harvey told Judge Daniel Mumford. “I would recommend community service and probation before judgement as something he could work towards. After a long conversation with his parents, it is clear this is something that will never happen again.” Davies apologized to the public and Cpl. Frank Soscia, the officer who arrested him, for his actions. “What I did that night is not who I am,” he said. Mumford ordered Davies to pay $657.50 in fines on both charges by Dec. 31. Davies was also ordered to serve 40 hours in community service in 90 days on the possession charge. “I would also consider modifying that to probation before judgement if he completes the community service and pays the fine,” Mumford said. As with previous trials associated with the Boardwalk melee, Mumford repeated that people come to the boards for a peaceful experience instead of a hostile one. “It’s supposed to be a fun place where people stroll along the Boardwalk at night. The police have a obligation to maintain that and keep the peace,” he said.

Continued from Page 23 dirty or indecent. We see bare-chested men on television all the time.” Despite the media’s general resistance to printing uncensored photographs of female breasts, Covington was pleased to see recent coverage with unaltered pictures in the New York Times and Cosmopolitan. “The reason is that my mission is to normalize female bare-chestedness akin to how male bare-chestedness is basically completely unnoteworthy,” she said. “We don’t do news stories about men walking around barechested, so the mere fact that we are covering this in the news makes it not normalized.” Differentiating between female and male breasts encourages body and gender shame in young girls and adult women, Covington said. “Entrenched negative prejudices about female breasts discourage breastfeeding, cement the idea that women do not get to decide when they are to be perceived as sexual or not and give rise to victim blaming, rape culture and bullying,” she said. For now Covington said her legal inquiry remains in limbo while the OAG researches the issue. “Eventually they will apparently release an official opinion on the topic, but they didn’t give a date, three to nine months is what they told me,” she said. “After we receive the opinion I will decide what to say or how to react, if at all.”

Remember fallen firefighters during 9/11 stair climb in OC Participants to walk 110 stories, carrying badges of 343 people lost tragically
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The Delmarva Emerald Society will hold its fourth annual 9/11 stair climb at the Pyramid Condominium on 95th Street this Saturday to honor firefighters who lost their lives more than 15 years ago in that horrific event. Participants will climb the steps six times in addition to six more floors, for a total of 110 stories, which is the number of floors in the fallen Twin Towers. There are 18 floors at the Pyramid Condominium. Each climber will carry a badge of a fallen firefighter with his or her picture, name and the truck or place they were assigned to on 9/11. The event is a way to honor and remember the New York firefighters, police and emergency medical service workers who lost their lives while helping others. “There were 343 guys that died on 9/11,” said James L. Jester, president of the Delmarva Emerald Society. “You are carrying those guys with you and completing the climb because they weren’t able to finish the climb.”
Registration starts at 8 a.m. and the first climbers will start at 9 a.m. The event is open to everyone. The registration fee is $30, which includes an official event T-shirt. “The main idea is the memory of the 343 guys who died in New York and making sure they are never forgotten,” Jester said. “Even if you’re coming up to support someone and not participating, you are showing their memory will never die and supporting the American fire service.” Proceeds will benefit the New York Fire Department Counseling Services Unit and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), a nationwide effort to remember America’s fallen firefighters and to provide resources to assist their survivors. Last year, about 88 climbers participated and 62 people are already confirmed for the event. Organizers hope to have at least 100 people. “We are shooting for 100 and would love to have 100 minimum climbers this year,” Jester said. “It would be the first time, if we could break that.” The event is not a race, but an opportunity to honor the fallen firefighters. Volunteers and potential donors are encouraged to attend the See PROCEEDS Page 28

Fire union continues petition for arbitration Despite ‘overwhelming’ support, amendment will not appear on Nov. 8 ballot
(Oct. 28, 2016) The Ocean City Firefighters Union, IAFF Local 4269, announced this week that while it’s effort to add a binding interest clause to its contract will not go before resort voters on the Nov. 8 election, it will continue to pursue that goal. Chapter President Ryan Whittington released the following statement: “Since June, members and supporters of Local 4269 have been knocking on doors and talking to people on the streets, collecting signatures in support of a petition to amend the Charter of the Town of Ocean City to provide for binding interest arbitration for fire and emergency medical services personnel.
“Support for the amendment has been tremendous. To date, we have collected more than 1,000 signatures in support of the amendment. That is not enough signatures, however, to prompt a vote on the amendment at the upcoming municipal election in three weeks. “Instead, Local 4269 will continue, on and after election day, to collect signatures to reach the necessary number of signatures to have the amendment put to a vote either at a special election or the next municipal election. “The end result will be the same: an opportunity for voters to amend the Charter to create a fairer and more efficient resolution to bargaining disputes to avoid protracted conflict and frustration. “Voters support the amendment. In speaking with hundreds of voters,
we have heard overwhelming positive comments about our work on behalf of residents generally and our effort to resolve this issue, and secure this amendment, specifically. “It is a rare voter who disagrees with the purpose of the amendment. The amendment would require binding interest arbitration to resolve bargaining impasses – a means of resolution already successful here for police personnel and successful for fire personnel in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County, among others. Voters undoubtedly recognize the value of the amendment. “While Local 4269 hoped to have the amendment on the ballot at the upcoming municipal election on November 8, 2016, the amendment need not be on this ballot. Our aim is to have the amendment on the ballot
and passed before the next cycle of bargaining with the Town in 2019. The current cycle of bargaining has, unfortunately, been steeped in conflict and rancor. Our goal is to avoid a repeat of that by passing the amendment. “For now, with two weeks remaining until the election, we will turn our attention to the officials and issues on the ballot. Local leadership is now, as it has always been, important for Local 4269 and Local 4269 will focus its efforts on supporting the best and most effective local leaders on the ballot. “Local 4269 shall resume collecting signatures for the binding interest arbitration amendment on and after Nov. 8, 2016.”
Proceeds benefit NYFD, NFFF with survivors, counsel Continued from Page 27 event even if the stair climb itself is not an option. After the climb, participants and their families will gather at Seacrets on 49th Street for brotherhood, good times, stories and door prizes. The first stair climb was held on Sept. 11, 2005 in Colorado. Five firefighters climbed 110 flights of stairs in memory of FDNY brothers who were killed in the terrorist attacks. The next year, 12 firefighters participated, representing four fire departments from the Denver area. Each year attendance grew until organizers capped it at 343 participants in 2008. The Denver 9/11 memorial stair climb has evolved into an anticipated event and has generated interest from people across the country. Individuals have adapted the format and host events in their own cities. In 2010, the original Denver team joined with NFFF. Together they created a template for coordinators to replicate a 9/11 memorial stair climb anywhere in the United States. Register online at www.firehero.org/events/9-11-stairclimbs or in person at the event on Saturday morning. Registration is limited to 343 participants.

Autumn Home, Condo Show one-stop shop for domiciles
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The annual Autumn Home and Condo Show returns to the Ocean City convention center for two days on 40th Street this weekend. There will be 100 vendors encompassing 130 booths, who will demonstrate products and showcase merchandise such as kitchens, baths, appliances, furnishings, pools, spas, hot tubs, fireplaces, patios, decks, home entertainment, sunrooms, fireplaces, security, heating services, maintenance, energy, gardening, cleaning services and air conditioning. “It is a great opportunity for comparative shopping with everything under one roof and it’s weather-controlled comfort,” said Ocean Promotions owner Mike Wicklein. “You can shop for bargains and vendors are there to do business.” Exhibitors including contractors, landscapers, architects and interior designers who will be at the event to help homeowners with their projects and ideas by giving estimates, quotes and advice. There will be samples of flooring, windows, doors and solar products. The show is an opportunity to compare and shop around while knowledgeable experts help attendees find the perfect products and services for their homes. There will be an abundance of interior and outdoor displays showcasing new products and tips on remodeling, decorating, landscaping, accessorizing and renovating. The autumn show, now in its sixth year, drew more than 5,000 people in 2015 and is an offshoot of the spring
event. The show is designed to enhance home comfort, functionality, appeal and overall value. Organizers want consumers to come with an open mind and leave with inspiration. Many vendors will be offering bargains or special deals. There will also be artists and crafters from all over selling an assortment of gifts and accessories.

In addition, staff of the Maryland State Board of Elections will be at the show to demonstrate Maryland’s new voting system. The new paper-based voting system in Maryland has voters marking and scanning paper ballots. Some voters, including those with disabilities, will use ballot marking devices to choice their candidates and then print their paper ballots while the majority of voters will use pens to mark paper ballots by hand. All voters will insert their marked paper ballots into a scanner. Show hours are Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is a $6 admission fee for adults; seniors (55 and older) and students pay $5.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) As a follow up to a previous article this month on the soil evaluation/perc process, the following information details the soil testing process as well as management areas and their significance. A special thank you to Kim Klump with the Worcester County Environmental Programs division for the help in compiling this report. All of the soils within our county are considered seasonal soils, meaning they have a fluctuating seasonal water table. Some fluctuate more than others. Even soils that are considered well drained, or having seasonal high water tables between 4 to 6 feet or more, can still have significant surface silt or clay in our area. The silt and clay affect the soils percolation rate. Soils are required to meet a percolation rate of less than 60 minutes per inch in the upper soils. A percolation test is a test to determine a soils absorption rate, hence the term “perc” test. The “wet-season” in Worcester County is whenever the majority of the county’s 16 monitoring wells are within 0.5 standard deviation of the wet season mean. Typically, this falls between November to May. It may not be “inseason” during that whole time and never has been, but it fluctuates. The county’s monitoring wells are always read along with a particular site project as a comparison. The county wells have been monitored for 20-30 years, so data is well established. In soils with water tables closer to the surface, the management area of the county becomes important. In an “A” management area, a minimum twofoot treatment zone is required and preferably greater. This is where moderate to well drained soils are needed. In a “B-1” management area, a onefoot minimum treatment zone is required for a standard system and two-foot for a sand mound system. In this management area, moderately drained soils can meet the requirements in most cases unless a percolation rate of less than 60 minutes per inch cannot be achieved. In a “B-2” management area, a zero foot treatment zone is the minimum requirement allowing for hydraulic conductivity testing. Considering that 80 percent of Worcester County soils are See SURFACE Page 32

REAL ESTATE REPORT
Surface silt, clay commonly affect area percolation rates Continued from Page 31 hydric (less than a one-foot seasonal water table), the “B-2” management area allows for some of those soils to support sewage disposal. If at least a one-foot water table is achieved seasonally, then as long as the waterbearing sands below meet a hydraulic conductivity rate between 2-13 feet
per day, the site can be approved. The system design in this case would be an elevated sand-lined trench to enable the wastewater to have enough head pressure to get down to where it can drain away. Lauren Bunting is a licensed Realtor/Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

With work complete, both lanes of Route 90 now open By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The State Highway Administration this week confirmed it will have completed bridge inspections early by the end of the week and both lanes of traffic should be able to pass unimpeded. The work inspecting the bridges started at the beginning of the month, and until Oct. 21, the bridge over Assawoman Bay had been limited to one lane between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Following the weekend of Oct. 2223, work continued a bit west of where it was, as crews worked on inspecting the bridge over the St. Martin River between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. until Friday. Additionally, work on the Harry
Kelley Bridge last Wednesday limited unimpeded access to Ocean City to just Route 54 just over the line in Delaware and Coastal Highway. SHA often schedules simultaneous work projects during the fall, when car traffic is significantly reduced from summer levels, and before winter weather frustrates construction efforts. The resort also often limits when work can take place during the second season, so tourists can easily access events like Sunfest, Bike Week and Cruisin. The SHA announced it would be conducting additional inspections on the Kelley bridge in mid-November, which will require additional openings of the drawbridge.
Arcade machines broken into; OCPD seeks assistance
(Oct. 28, 2016) The Ocean City Police Department is seeking assistance from the public in an attempt to identify two people involved in multiple arcade machine thefts. On Sept. 26 and 27, police went to four resort hotels after eight arcade machines were broken into and the coins inside were stolen. The thieves operated during the daytime hours, and would target machines that did not have extra security features, police said. The first suspect is described as a white male with short blond hair and medium build. At the time of the theft, he was wearing a dark colored shirt, shorts and shoes.

The Worcester Prep boys’ and girls’ soccer teams celebrate after they both captured Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference titles last Friday on their home fields in Berlin.
WP girls’ soccer team ESIAC champs
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team scored twice in the second half to win the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game 2-1 over the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres last Friday in Berlin. “We played great. We went down in the first half on a penalty kick, but otherwise we played well, we moved the ball well,” Prep Coach Carol Hartnett said. Worcester was called for a handball in the box with about 19 minutes remaining in the first half. Saints Peter & Paul capitalized on the penalty shot to take a 1-0 lead. During halftime, Hartnett said “we told them ‘keep your heads up, you’re dominating the game. It’s going to break open at some point’ and 30 seconds in the second half it broke open…and they kept pounding and pounding.” Junior Sarah Savage, who was called for the handball in the first half, netted a pass from senior captain Olivia Bescak 38 seconds into the second half to tie the game 1-1. With just under 19 minutes on the clock, senior Melissa Laws scored off a senior Karlie Southcomb cross to put the Lady Mallard up 2-1. “That was amazing. It’s not a safe lead because that team is so great, but that made it feel so much better,” Laws said. “Once we scored after halftime, then I scored, we were so into it at that point. It gave us a lot of momentum and a lot of confidence.” The Mallards held onto their lead to captured the championship trophy. “It wasn’t our usually crew of scorers that were scoring so it gives merit
to the fact that having depth and having each other’s backs and second and third effort is what’s going to win a game,” Hartnett said. As the buzzer sounded to end the game, the Mallards gathered on the field with their goalie – freshman Emily Copeland, who recorded 10 saves – to celebrate. Members of the boys’ team, who had just won 3-1 over Holly Grove on the adjacent field, ran over to the girls’ field and added to the pile of players. “It’s nice for the seven seniors to end their soccer season – which has been a fabulous one – that way, on their field, next to the boys, listening to field hockey win also. It’s what Worcester sports is all about,” Hartnett said. “I talk to my kids all the time about being engaged in the community and buying into what Worcester is all about and why you’re here. “This is what they’ll remember when they look back 10 years from now,” she continued. “Sports should be an experience and I feel like they’ve had a good experience. I’ve had a great experience and enjoyed it tremendously.” Worcester finished the season with a 9-1 record. Southcomb lead the team with 10 goals and five assists. Freshman Messa Cammack added nine goals and senior captain Madison Bescak tallied eight goals and four assists. “When we switched [senior captain] Julie Talbert and Olivia from sweeper to stopper it changed the entire dynamics of our team,” Hartnett said. “It made us such a better team because Julie is the person who’s going to shut you down. Olivia is that finesse player who can play with her
sister up top and make things happen…and they embraced the new position and rocked it.” Worcester players receiving AllESIAC honors were: both Bescaks, Talbert, Savage, Copeland and sophomore Delaney Abercrombie. Southcomb earned Honorable Mention accolades. Olivia Bescak was named ESIAC Player of the Year. Her twin sister, Madison, won the award last year. “Playing defense you usually don’t get the most recognition. I wasn’t really thinking I would get it, but I was just hoping we would win,” Bescak said. “I wasn’t really looking for the recognition, but just for the win… Everyone kept hinting it because my sister won it last year and they were like, ‘hopefully you’ll get it.’ I [said] ‘that’d be crazy if we both got it.’” Bescak said her and her sister’s awards will probably be displayed next to each other in their home. Bescak feels honored to be presented the award and thrilled to win the championship her senior year. “It’s so exciting. I feel like we outplayed them the entire game,” she said. “I knew that we were supposed to win that game. I felt it. Winning our junior year was amazing, but I really just wanted to win our senior year.” “I feel the season went amazing,” Laws added. “We definitely had work to do, but I think by the end of the season you could see we were a totally different team. Ending the season this way I could not have asked for anything better.” Seven seniors, all of whom were major contributors, will graduate in May, but Hartnett thinks the squad will be strong again next year.
Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team wins ESIAC trophy
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team outscored the Holly Grove Eagles 3-1 last Friday in Berlin to win the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title. Holly Grove got on the board first, but Worcester answered with 8:11 remaining in the first half. Junior captain Brendan Miller lofted a free kick, senior captain Owen Nally and senior Seth Lewis both ran onto the ball and Lewis tapped it in to tie the game 1-1. “I knew my coach expected me to score and at first I messed up a bunch. I think I was just going too fast and thinking about it too much, which I do a lot,” Lewis said. “We weren’t really crashing as hard as we usually do. We were kind of playing more defense than offense, which is good, but when you’re down by one you really need to push forward. Once we got the first goal I feel like we picked it up.” During halftime, Assistance Coach Steve Ball, who was filling in for Head Coach Terry Underkoffler who was attending his son’s wedding, told the Mallards they needed to “step it up.” “We know we’re the better team, we just needed to play to our potential, play harder and win the 50/50 balls,” he said. “The biggest thing was going at them, picking up the pace and making sure we finish our opportunities. We had a lot of opportunities we didn’t put away in the first half.” With 18:19 left in the game, Nally was fouled in the box. Miller took the penalty kick, shot low to the right corner of the goal and scored to give Worcester a 2-1 advantage. See UNDERKOFFLER Page 36

Underkoffler: It was a season to remember Continued from Page 35 Lewis netted the Berlin squad’s third goal with 9:57 on the clock. “Time was ticking down and I knew we had to put one in,” he said. “The defender, I knew the sun was in his eyes. I ran forward and hoped the ball bounced over his head, which it did. I knew I didn’t have the ball settled on the ground and I either had to chip it or get around [the goalie]. I just chipped it in.” Lewis provided Worcester with a two-goal advantage with under 10 minutes to play and the Mallards were able to hold the Eagles scoreless to secure the victory. Prep sophomore goalie Cooper Richins recorded five saves. To win his senior year is special, but Lewis said they did it for Underkoffler. “It was more for him because he put a lot of time and effort into coaching us every day after school and even

on the weekends and going to games and stuff,” Lewis said. To step in as head coach for the championship game was great, Ball said, but the players did all the work. “They played with a lot of heart. It was up to the guys and they definitely did the job,” said Ball, who has been with the team for four seasons. “Coach and I, we do our job in practice. They do it out on the field. This group of seniors, I had them as freshmen. It’s a great group. Sad to see them go.” Worcester wrapped up the season with a game against Laurel on Wednesday in Berlin. The Mallards won 6-1. Goals were scored by Nally, Lewis, senior Aria ZiaShakeri, senior captain Patrick Petrera, senior Adam Pizza and sophomore Colin Miller. Richins had five saves. “They played really well. Possession and one-two-touch-passing were spot
on. It was a pretty thing to watch,” Underkoffler said. “We owned the midfield. It was a great way for this senior group to go out.” Several Worcester players received All-ESIAC awards, which were presented by position. Miller won for defense; Nally, Petrera and ZiaShakeri for midfield; and Lewis and senior Tate Shockley for forward. Richins earned All-Conference Honorable Mention honors for goalie. Lewis led the team this year with 13 goals and two assists. Miller tallied seven goals and two assists. Petrera contributed with six goals and four assists and Shockley chipped in with four goals six assists. “As the year progressed, we definitely picked it up and had a good season,” Lewis said. Worcester finished the year with a
14-1 record. “It was an excellent season. It was a season to remember,” Underkoffler said. “I’m proud of these guys and what they’ve accomplished.” The team will lose 10 seniors, seven of whom were starters, to graduation in May. The seniors won four regular-season titles, three ESIAC championships and recorded 50 victories in four years. “I will miss these guys. It was a fun group to coach,” Underkoffler said. “We were able to play some really creative attack soccer because we could attack from the back and not just clear it all the time.” Although a core group will be graduating, Underkoffler said a number of solid players will be returning in 2017. "We'll have different cast members, but I believe the guys coming back will want to continue this [success]," he said.

Decatur volleyball team looks solid going into playoffs
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Worcester Prep golf team finished runner-up to Salisbury Christian during the regular season. The Mallards also came in second place behind the team in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship tournament last Tuesday. ESIAC schools – Worcester Prep, Salisbury Christian and Salisbury School – met at Rum Pointe Golf Course in Berlin on Oct. 18 for competition. Salisbury Christian earned top honors, shooting a 164. Worcester finished in second place with a 183. Salisbury School came in third with a score of 219. “We struggled a little bit in the wind. We were a little above our averages. We just couldn’t put it together,” Prep Coach Scot Dailey said. “They played pretty solid, they just had one or two bad holes. That’s how it’s been all year. We just couldn’t eliminate one or two bad holes.” Junior Austin Taylor led Worcester, shooting a 43. Freshman Colby Hook carded a 45 and seniors Reid Carey and Zach Wilson recorded 46 and 49, respectively. Worcester finished the season with an overall record of 20-13-2 (8-5-1 ESIAC).
“[The season] didn’t meet my or the team’s expectations,” Daily said. After dominated the conference and winning the championship the past nine years, they were a little disappointed to not repeat that success in 2016. “We hoped to win it all this year, but we just came up a bit short. [Salisbury Christian] has some good players. We just couldn’t catch them,” Dailey said. “They were just a little bit better than us each time, but I think we did the best we could.” Taylor (41.4 average) and Hook (43.7) earned spots on the All-ESIAC Team. Senior Grant Brown (45.8) received Honorable Mention distinction. “I think the kids played as hard as they could this year. Their attitude has been awesome all year,” he said. “They handled themselves very well all year long, win or lose. At the end of the day, that’s most important. Being a class act makes me feel good about them.” Half of the team will graduate in May. Four-to-five of the seven seniors were regularly on the leaderboard. Despite losing seven, Dailey thinks the team will be solid next year, especially with All-ESIAC players Taylor and Hook returning. “A couple kids also should be able to help us out,” Dailey said.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team hopes to continue its solid performance going into playoffs next week. The Lady Seahawks took a trip to Salisbury on Tuesday to face the Parkside Rams. Decatur won the first and second games 25-23, and junior Chloe Walker finished the match with a kill, to end the third game 25-22. Despite some unforced errors between missed serves and not covering behind blocks at times, Decatur Coach Sara Patrick said the Seahawks remained in control of all the games. “We stayed focused during the whole match and played well as a team,” Patrick said. “We controlled the ball and played smart. Our front row was really strong and our setters moved the ball around.” Sophomore Adriana Serpe finished the match with five aces, six kills, five assists and two digs. Junior Piper Connors chipped in with two aces, five kills, two blocks and eight digs. Junior Maggie Bunting added three kills and two digs. Freshman Jaclyn Gallagher contributed with one ace, seven assists and two digs and Walker tallied two kills and two blocks. Sophomore Victoria Koslosky recorded three kills and three digs. Senior captain Claire Billings and junior Diamond Rounds picked up three and seven digs, respectively. They also had one ace apiece. “I am really proud of how far we have come this season. They played amazing [Tuesday],” Patrick said. “We look strong going into playoffs.” Seeding for the regional tournament will take place on Monday, Oct. 31. Tournament competition will begin on Thursday, Nov. 3. Decatur will participate in the 3A East Class.

Prep volleyball squad still making progress
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Worcester Prep volleyball team won its final match of the regular season, taking down the Seaford Blue Jays in three games last Friday in Berlin. “The girls did a great job,” Prep Coach Keith Donoway said. “Every person on the team got some time in the game and performed extremely well. Strong serving gave us the clear advantage.” The Lady Mallards outscored the Blue Jays 25-12 in the first two games.
They earned a 25 -13 victory in the third. Senior captain Sara Young served 16 aces and had two kills. Senior co-captain Amy Lizas, sophomore Hannah Merritt and juniors Camryn Sofronski and Eliza Chaufournier contributed with two kills each. Worcester finished the season with a 3-10 record. “We are still making progress and this year was slightly better than last year. I feel like we plateaued early in the season and some new focuses were needed during the practices and
games,” Donoway said. “However, after those changes I feel like we really had some great games and wins as the season was ending.” Donoway enjoyed his second year coaching the Mallards. He said his first season was mainly about teaching both JV and varsity players the rules and fundamentals of game play. The 2016 season was more about building the team culture and advanced strategies, he added. “The big challenge is that my returning varsity players have only had one or two seasons of this and it takes time to
410-289-1283
develop the physical skills that match the knowledge of the game,” he said. “The thing that I enjoyed most was getting to know the players better as individuals and seeing how they have become better athletes and leaders. I look forward to seeing how the program moves forward next year.” The team will graduate just two players – Young and Lizas. “We are losing two strong players and captains, which will be tough,” Donoway said. “However, there will be many returning players which will help greatly for next season.”

WP field hockey wins ESIAC title
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Worcester Prep field hockey team fired shot after shot, and finally, one went in the Holly Grove cage during the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship last Friday in Westover. That one goal was enough for the Lady Mallards to win the title. “The girls played well. They started off a little slow, but then dominated the game,” Prep Coach Katie Oxenreider said. “We had 20 corners and 14 shots on goal. We just had to work to get one to slip in on a good defense and goalie. It was a great, exciting game to watch.” Sophomore Hailee Arrington scored with 5:09 remaining to put Worcester on top 1-0. Oxenreider said the last five minutes of the contest were intense. “After we scored they took a timeout, so I was able to tell the girls that the time was on their side now and to use it when they could,” Oxenreider said. “I think they knew they did not want a repeat of last year that would give them the tying goal in the last few seconds, so they were ready.” During the 2015 title game, WPS led 1-0, but Holly Grove tied it with nine seconds left to force overtime. After two 10-minute periods, the score was still tied so the teams went into a shootout. Holly Grove scored three

strokes and Worcester netted one. The Mallards were determined to not let that happen this year. They held off the Eagles to win the ESIAC trophy. “Holly Grove came out and played some offense, but we were able to handle it,” Oxenreider said. “Offensively, what was good to see was that the girls weren’t getting frustrated about their shots, they just kept plugging away and one eventually fell in.” Oxenreider said the Worcester Prep defense played “unbelievable.” Holly Grove did not get any shots off on freshman goalie Aly Matha. Worcester finished the season with a 9-5 record. “The season was great. We worked hard as a small team, but I think it
helped us be close and a tight unit. We had a little bit of ups and downs, but the way we turned it around during the championship week was so great to watch,” Oxenreider said. “We had a game just the week before where we sort of fell apart, but we were able to get ourselves together to beat the same team [Saints Peter & Paul] the next week.” Six players were named to the AllConference Team: senior co-captains Leigh Lingo (four goals, five assists), Regan Lingo (eight goals, three assists) and Eva Parks, senior Ava Schwartz (two goals, two assists) and Arrington (12 goals, four assists). Senior Kathleen Emche received ESIAC Honorable Mention accolades. Oxenreider said the seniors will be
missed. “Leigh Lingo was the center of our team and really helped us make plays… [and] Regan Lingo added eight goals and three assists this year,” she said. “Eva Parks was our center back and had many step-ups to keep us in games. Kathleen Emche also held down our defense. Ava Schwartz played midfield and was all over the field [and] one of the first to get back and help out on defense.” Despite losing talented players, Oxenreider is confident the squad will be solid next season. “I think this team next year will come in with a lot of experience,” she said. “I’m glad that the younger girls had this senior group to look up to because they were great leaders and contributors.”

Seahawks ‘clicking’ as regional tourney starts
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) In front of several hundred spectators, the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team put up a valiant effort during Tuesday’s Bayside Conference championship match against the Kent Island Buccaneers, but the Seahawks came up short in a shootout. Junior John Ford knocked in senior captain Alton Walker’s free kick from just inside the midfield line to provide Decatur with a 1-0 lead in Snow Hill with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. “We played OK. We didn’t play fantastic [but] we did play better than we have been in the first half [of games],” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said.
Kent Island evened the score with just under 24 minutes left in the game. About three minutes later, the Buccaneers went ahead 2-1. Walker tied it 2-2, netting his corner kick with less than 20 minutes on the clock. Despite opportunities for both teams to score during the physical battle, neither was successful and the game headed into overtime. Still tied after two 10-minute overtime periods, the players lined up for penalty kicks. “The first overtime was pretty even. I thought we dominated the second overtime,” Greenwood said. “Our fitness definitely showed in overtime.” After five penalty shots each, the
score was tied 3-3. It then went into sudden-death shots. Both teams missed shots six and seven. Kent Island netted the eighth to win the title. “I thought we played really well. We had to overcome. We had to fight back,” Greenwood said. “They worked hard and they never gave up. They played strong and they played physical within the rules. I was proud of them.” The Seahawks (10-1-2) will put this game behind them and rebound as they now prepare for regional competition. “I think it was a character builder for us. I think we learned a lot from that game,” Greenwood said. Decatur earned the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the 3A East Sec-
SD boys’ XC team third at Baysides
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 28, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ cross country team finished third and the girls’ squad placed seventh during Wednesday’s Bayside Conference championship in Cambridge. Kent Island took top honors in the boys’ competition, scoring 48 points. Cambridge was second with 51 and Decatur tallied 65 points for third place. “I thought they ran pretty well. We did a little bit better than I expected,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “We were pretty close to Kent Island and Cambridge.” Senior Cameron James was Decatur’s top placer, crossing the finish line sixth overall (16:54.10). “Cameron ran hard the first mile, which helped with his positioning,” Stigler said. “He ran a good first mile, which set him up for the rest of the race.”
Seniors Jared Massey (10th, 17:23) and Javier Hernandez (12th, 17:26.5) and juniors Jack Reimer (13th, 17:27.5) and Matt Alvarado (24th, 18:15.8) also scored points for the Seahawks. “[Massey, Hernandez and Reimer] did about want I expected and Matt ran well also, which really helped the team,” Stigler said. Kent Island captured the Bayside title in the girls’ competition, recording 56 points. North Caroline logged 69 points for second and Queen Anne’s finished third with 81. Decatur scored 144 points to come in seventh place. “The girls [race] was a different story. They all started out too slow the first mile and got stuck behind and were making up ground for the rest of the race,” Stigler said. The plan was for the Seahawks to start out fast and be in the top 20 after the first mile, but the girls were closer to 35th-40th. Stigler wanted them to
have a quick start because it is difficult to maneuver and pass runners in the second mile as the course goes through the woods. Sophomore Kailey Andrews crossed the finish line first for the Lady Seahawks. She completed the race in 20:48.9, good for ninth place. “Kailey ran well. She was 20th after the first mile and ended up ninth,” Stigler said. “She passed nine people in the second and third mile. Her goal was to break 21 minutes and she got 20:48, and as good as she ran, I think she can do better.” Senior Peyton Dunham (33rd, 22:43.6), juniors Lily Belle Baker (37th, 23:02.7) and Laila Mirza (38th, 23:10.2) and sophomore Dori Krasner (39th, 23:11.4) also contributed. The top 15 finishers in both races earned ribbons and All-Bayside Conference honors. See DECATUR Page 40

tion II bracket. The Seahawks will host the winner of today’s game between No. 4 Hammond and No. 5 Atholton, on Tuesday at 5 p.m. Greenwood said he is glad the Seahawks have a week between games because the boys are “banged up a little bit.” Maintaining their fitness level and honing their skills to be primed for a playoff run is the plan during practices leading up to Tuesday’s game. “We definitely have the potential. We have to win four games to put ourselves in the championship,” Greenwood said. “I think we’re clicking. I think we’re finally starting to do all the little things we’ve worked on all year. The little things do make the difference – the difference between winning and losing.”

Late registration and packet pick up takes place at the Holiday Inn Suites on 17th Street from 3-8 p.m. today. In 2015, close to 600 people participated in the race and organizers anticipate 600 to 700 this year, depending on the weather. “It is a Halloween fun run and you see neat costumes and people getting into the spirit,” said Chris Klebe, event organizer. “There are a lot of smiles and we give a lot of awards out at the postrace party. It truly is a fun event for families of all ages.” Awards will be given out for first, second and third place in several categories. Overall male and female runners, age group male and female winners and the best costumes will be announced. The age group break downs are: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70-plus. Every person who finishes the 10mile run will receive a finisher’s medal. The races will be timed with an IPICO bib tag system and an orange rectangular sensor will be placed on the back of each race bib. Race bibs are unique to the participant and they can be taken home as a keepsake after the race.

Hopefully everyone has had time to visit a pumpkin patch, carve a Jack-O-Lantern and place it on your porch.

The amount of money I spent on my costume this year is insane, but it will be worth every penny once I’m out enjoying the Halloween party scene.
I was born in 1992, so obviously I chose a costume from a 90’s movie. Here’s a hint: it was adapted from Jane Austen’s “Emma.” Any guesses?

‘Great Pumpkin Race,’ OC Fright Lights this wknd.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) O.C.Toberfest activities kicked off in downtown Ocean City last weekend, bringing Halloween excitement to the Boardwalk and beach at North Division Street. “O.C.Toberfest is a great opportunity for families to have some fun together while enjoying the beautiful fall season in Ocean City, and it’s free,” said Meredith Herbert, event promoter. A Halloween beach maze with twists, turns, witches, scarecrows, ghouls, pirates, zombies and a giant spider web will be open this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thousands of people walked through the maze last weekend, Herbert said. “It’s fun to walk through the free beach maze,” Herbert said. “You just never know what’s waiting for you around the corner.” Participants can play an “eye spy” game while walking through looking for gargoyles and receive small prizes when they make it out of the maze. In addition, winners will be selected every hour for various gift cards from local businesses.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Jacob Gibson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, gets ready to push his pumpkin down the ramp during the “Great Pumpkin Race” last year near North Division Street. Participants designed and constructed their vehicle from a single pumpkin of any shape or size.
Last Saturday, a “Howl-O-Ween” pet parade took place on the Boardwalk with prizes for best-dressed pets. More than 140 pets and their owners from six states participated in the parade, Herbert said. Monetary donations and pet supplies were collected for the Worcester County Humane Society, a no-kill shelter in Berlin. The “Great Pumpkin Race” will take place Saturday, Oct. 29, on the Boardwalk near North Division Street, where race cars are created out of an actual pumpkin.
“It’s a wacky and zany side-by-side downhill pumpkin race that is fun for all ages,” Herbert said. “Build your pumpkin race car to bring and compete for prizes.” Participants can design and construct their vehicle from a single pumpkin in any shape and size. Pumpkin race cars can be whole or carved; decorated for the occasion or right from the pumpkin patch. Each pumpkin must have two independent axels inserted through it with wheels attached.

Leo, by observing others you can learn how they operate and make the most of your chances to work with them. Apply a similar approach to your personal relationships.

Play It Safe Italian feast, Nov. 3 Dinner at Elks Lodge in OC to include lasagna, chicken cacciatore, ziti and dessert
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) Play It Safe will host its largest fundraiser of the year – an Italian feast – at the Elks Lodge on 138th Street, Thursday, Nov. 3, from 5-8 p.m. Event organizers prepare all the food themselves, which will include salad, lasagna, meatballs, chicken cacciatore, baked ziti, veggies and an assortment of homemade desserts. In addition, pizza from Pizza Tugos will be available. “Everything is homemade and it’s a fun event,” said co-organizer Donna Greenwood. “It is helping us help the town when all the young graduates descend upon us to celebrate. It is very important to keep them safe and encourage good fun and to be responsible rather than getting in trouble.” There will be a silent auction going on until 7:45 p.m. with golf packages, Gold Coast Mall gift certificates, a baseball signed by Wilson Ramos of the Washington Nationals, restaurant gift cards and sports memorabilia from the Baltimore Ravens. “The auction items are nice,”
Greenwood said. “We have quite a few baskets including wine, Thanksgiving, Christmas, baker’s, Greene Turtle, garden, cookie, Bloody Mary and pet themed.” Organizers are still accepting auction donations, and attendees can purchase 50/50 raffle tickets throughout the event. Greenwood hopes at least 200 people come out to the Italian feast being held upstairs at the Elks Lodge. “Helping the kids come to town is a benefit for us and supports businesses, hotels and restaurants during a time when a lot of people and families aren’t here because school is not out yet,” Greenwood said. “It is a decades-old tradition and brings much needed revenue to town. [Ocean City] is a much loved placed to vacation and is probably why so many of us ended up living here and making it a home.” Stephen Decatur High School’s Connections Club students will be on hand to clear tables and serve beverages, she said. “People have been coming to Ocean City for senior week since the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s,” Greenwood said. “This is definitely our biggest fundraiser of the year. We also have a miniature golf tournament in February.” Tickets will be available at the

The Play It Safe program is an effort to prevent high school graduates from choosing drugs or alcohol while on their senior week in Ocean City during the month of June. The nonprofit provides free events for high school-aged visitors, while encouraging them to make informed and healthy choices. Since its inception 27 years ago, more than 179,000 teenagers have signed up for Play It Safe’s free activities. The 2016 program featured more than 40 events including kayaking, basketball, tennis, pizza-eating contests, dodgeball, stand-up paddleboarding, karaoke, moonlight bowling, laser tag, beach volleyball, indoor and outdoor miniature golf and T-shirt tie-dying. Participants also visited Splash Mountain Water Park at Jolly Roger on 30th Street and had the chance to ride the Tidal Wave roller coaster at Trimper’s Rides and Amusements. The Worcester County Health Department and Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee coordinated the 2016 program with support from the Town of Ocean City and local businesses and organizations.

Options endless for apple-fennel chutney recipe
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) Glistening hues of frolicking water splashing against my weathered dock is a reminder that change is a constant variable. Conversations with myself challenge me to take a chance and do something different. I decide to break protocol and spend much deserved time with myself. Constant daily bustle is not privy to the world within; solitude is the master of reasoning if inner peace is to prevail. Slight adjustments can have crucial results. As I am relaxing on my dock, I sense the overwhelming potential of the unassuming water that lies beneath my feet. Mother Nature is in a state of serenity, but at any given moment her wrath can rise and demolish my little blue house on the water. But for now, I am relishing the gentle coolness on my bare feet for soon Jack Frost will be knocking on my front door. As I drift in a state distant from the perimeters of certainty, a familiar tune echoes as it draws ever so near. The guttural “honking” is getting closer and See PAIR Page 49

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pair chutney with meat, fish, veggie dishes Continued from Page 48 I know in an instant who are befriending my company. Their strokes of effortless grace is led by an invitation for a snack of Cheerios. I bid the geese “hello” but I know my feathered friends will soon be following a peak to a place where the temperatures rise to a higher degree. And when the time comes, a commanding exodus of incredible precision will follow as they invariably head south. Diversity is a prelude to ingenuity. I envy the bird’s freedom to pick up and take off at a moment’s notice. I cannot speak for others, but I know my hectic schedule fosters me into a routine of biased conformity. Some may welcome such conventionality; but my passion for cooking keeps me from the shackles of predictability. October is almost over and menus must be a reflection of the marvelous pageantry of fall. Ruby reds, golden oranges and buttery yellows bestow my sensorial spectrum of curiosity. As I gear up for my parent’s annual fox hunt, the pressure to finalize the menu grows with each day. Sugar-cured ham is a given and my sense of choice leads me in a direction to pair the traditional meat with some type of a chutney. Several minutes point me to the path of apple-fennel chutney. Not everyone is familiar with fennel
and what a pity. Fennel’s leaves, seeds and stems all have a sweet faintly aniselike flavor, but the main attraction is the bulb itself. Originating in the Mediterranean, the fennel bulb appears often in Italian and Scandinavian cuisines. It can be eaten raw, grilled, baked, braised, or sautéed. If one decides to grill fennel, toss a handful of dried or fresh stems onto the charcoal to further infuse the flavor of anise. Choose fresh fennel bulbs that are smooth and tightly layered with no cracks or bruises. Fat, rounded bulbs with white and pale green color will tend to be more succulent than thin or yellow ones. Avoid any with wilted leaves or dried layers. Fennel is available year-round, but its peak is from late fall through winter. Preparing fennel for cookery is very easy. Remove the green stems and leaves, saving them to flavor or garnish other dishes such as soups, grilled meats or fish. Discard the outer layer of the bulb and any discolored areas. Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and remove the base of the core. Gently separate the layers with your hands and rinse well to remove any grit between them. Slice or cut as directed in a recipe. The flavor of fennel and apples is a perfect fall pairing. The subtle anise flavor of the fennel forms a delectable harmony with the sweetness of apples.
Raisins give the chutney an added depth of flavor and contrast in color. Toasted walnuts cuts some of the sweetness and highlights the theme of texture. Garlic, sugar, rice vinegar, dried pepper seeds and crystallized ginger complete the trinity of sweetness, savoriness and spiciness which is the essence of chutney. It is meant to be presented as a condiment for meats, fish and vegetarian dishes which means the results are endless. The beauty of this addition is that it can be made to order for any seasonal dish. It is time for me to return to my trusty kitchen and prepare apple-fennel chutney. I wonder where my feathered friends will reside until the harsh winter decides to make its annual departure? I will never know but I do know cooking and entertaining is my passion and constant exploration for knowledge and point of view is essential if distinction is to be part of my menu. Apple-Fennel Chutney Ingredients 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup walnuts 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 1 large fennel bulb, cleaned and chopped
1 medium garlic clove, minced 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped 1 cup rice vinegar ¾ sugar 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus an extra pinch (optional) ¼ cup raisins 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped 1. In a large pan, melt butter over medium low heat. Sauté nuts, constantly stirring, until they develop a slight crispness. Remove nuts from pan and set aside. 2. In the same pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add fennel, onions and garlic and cook until vegetables become translucent, about 10 minutes. 3. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the walnuts and bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the walnuts and cook for another 10 minutes or until the chutney has completely thickened. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The chutney can be served cold, warm, or room temperature, depending on what you are pairing it with.

Paul Teutul, Jr., owner of Paul Jr. Designs and star of the television series “American Chopper,” goes into detail about the 811 car he designed for One Call Concepts to promote the number people call before they can start digging on a construction project. During the 2016 Miss Utility Conference, the 811 car was unveiled at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel, on 101st Street, Oct. 19. The customized Chevrolet Corvette has 757 horsepower and 777 pounds of torque and sits on chrome wheels that were chiseled. The car, along with the 811 bike, will tour around the nation to promote the 811 number.
Teutul unveils 811 customized Chevy Corvette in resort
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) With the unveiling of a customized Chevrolet Corvette during the 2016 Miss Utility’s Greater Chesapeake Damage Prevention Training Conference, calling 811 before starting a digging project has never looked so cool. One Call Concepts, the conference sponsor and manager of Miss Utility’s call center, partnered with Paul Teutul Jr., of “American Chopper” fame to reveal the car in front of conference attendees at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street in Ocean City, Oct. 19. Roughly 400 people attended the Miss Utility Conference this year, with guests coming from Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, D.C. to learn about safety while working on construction projects. Before the crown jewel was unveiled, honored guests spoke during the event, including Common Ground Alliance President Bob Kipp, who provided some background on 811. “Each state had their own phone number for call centers, and they didn’t know where to look,” he said. “It took the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] years to give approval on a national number.” Now when someone calls 811, they See CAR Page 52

Continued from Page 51 are directed to a state call center. After that call, a crew will come out and assess the area someone is about to dig to ensure it is safe. The number 811 was ultimately established in 2007. According to the Common Ground Alliance Initiative, 20 million miles of utilities are located underground in the nation. That’s equivalent to one football field of underground lines for every U.S. resident. Roughly 38.6 million people will dig this year without knowing where the utility lines are located, damaging one line every six minutes. Michael Powell, son of statesman Colin Powell and chairman of the FCC in 2007, voted on the idea after he accidentally knocked out his neighborhood’s cable on Superbowl Sunday when he was trying to plant a tree. Mayor Rick Meehan, who also attended the unveiling, noted that 811 is crucial to Ocean City’s daily operations, including those of the Public Works Department. “Every day in Ocean City is the Super Bowl, and we can’t afford to knock anything out. This assures us that it doesn’t happen, and it’s a great asset for all of us,” Meehan said. With that said, the star of the show was revealed, amid loud rock music, pyrotechnics and smoke billowing from machines. Teutul drove the Chevrolet Corvette through the cheering crowd, revving its engine. Teutul thanked One Call Concepts, the company that manages several call centers, and its CEO Tom Hoff. “This is his baby to begin with, and he’s really trusted me with the creative process,” he said. “He’s such a visionary with marketing, and that’s why our relationship has made so much sense over the years.” This is the second collaboration between Teutul and One Call Concepts to promote the 811 call line. Five years ago, Teutil and his company Paul Jr. Designs created an 811 motorcycle, which was later unveiled in Ocean City. The motorcycle, like the Corvette, will be used as a showpiece at several safety expos across the country to convey the message of damage prevention. THANKSGIVING BUFFET • 1-8PM

“We took all the styling cues [for the car] from the bike. These two have a synergy,” Teutul said. “This is my first time seeing the two vehicles together, and it’s like a pair made in heaven.” The car has 757 horsepower and 777 pounds of torque. “It was fast to begin with, but now it’s lights-out fast,” he said. Other features include chrome wheels, which took up to 400 hours of labor to manufacture. “The wheels were done with a hammer and chisel, just like they would have done 1,000 years ago,” Teutul said. “We wanted to make sure it had the strength to stand up to that type of horsepower.” The car also has asymmetrical interior design and a blacked-out passenger seat to prioritize the driver’s experience. In closing, Hoff said that his relationship with Teutul has been incredible since the first 811 vehicle was built. “Just from talking to him the first time, I knew we found the right kind of guy that we would have a fabulous relationship with and would deliver,” he said.

OC church’s Grace Parker breakfasts begin again Nov. 2
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) This Wednesday, Nov. 2, the First Presbyterian Church will start offering its Grace Parker allyou-can-eat breakfasts for the winter season from 7 a.m. to noon in the Fellowship Hall on 13th Street. Eggs any style, pancakes, buckwheat pancakes, bacon, Milton sausage, country ham, homemade biscuits, hash brown potatoes, grits, coffee and tea are offered. Milk, soda and orange juice are available for an additional fee. “It is such a community event and a time for good food and fellowship,” Volunteer Donna Greenwood said. “You meet people in the community and from all over and friendships develop.” Each breakfast, anywhere from 150 to 200 people dine-in and more than 100 carry-out orders are made throughout the morning of the first Wednesday of every month until March 1. “Carry-out is very popular with city workers and we always have a big order from City Hall,” Greenwood said. About 350 all-you-can-eat breakfasts are prepared each month, which typically requires 75 dozen eggs, 1,200 pancakes, 120 pounds of sausage, 80 pounds of bacon, 80 pounds of ham, 10 gallons of grits, 100 pounds of potatoes, 500 biscuits and 50 gallons of coffee. Preparation starts the day before when volunteers, most of them known as “Woman of Worship,” come in to set up the tables and decorate the room. The men set up the tables and chairs in addition to cooking. Preparation of the buckwheat’s, ham and sausage also gets started. “It is a community effort and people come from all the churches to help,” Greenwood said. “Friends of the church come as well as members.” On Nov. 2, volunteers will begin arriving at 4:30 a.m. to start cooking. Later, the servers will arrive up until 7 a.m. The big rush starts about an hour later and lasts until 11 a.m. At least 30 volunteers help make the tradition a success every month. The first breakfasts were held more than 50 years ago, but no one is sure of the exact year. See ALL Page 55

All-you-can-eat breakfast return Continued from Page 53 In 1955, the congregation bought four lots at 13th Street and Philadelphia Avenue. To raise money for a new kitchen in the First Presbyterian Church’s current location, Grace Parker, a cook and head of the kitchen at the church, decided to start making breakfasts. She made her own jellies and mouthwatering biscuits, Greenwood said. The Grace Parker breakfasts started sometime between 1955 and 1960, when construction started on the new church. The church began holding services in June of 1963. “Grace Parker was told they couldn’t afford a kitchen in the new church, and she said, ‘Yes, we will.’ That is why we still call the breakfasts’ Grace Parker, today,” said life-long Ocean City resident and church member, Pete Steger. For a while, breakfast at the church was a free-will offering. A set price was started about 20 years ago. “Grace Parker arranged a no interest loan from a member of the church to pay for the kitchen,” Greenwood said. “She gathered other members to help put on the breakfasts to repay the loan. The first breakfast netted $70.” By the 1990s, the church was whipping up 500 to 700 breakfasts and raising $1,000 a month at $3.50 a person. “People would come as far away as Baltimore and on the Delaware coast,” Greenwood said. “They would read

about it in the local newspapers or heard about it from friends.” These days, the proceeds go toward projects, missions, scholarships and other special needs of the church. “The funds raised go to mission projects, breakfast for international students each week in the summer and scholarships for family members of the church,” Greenwood said. After Parker died, in 1986 her daughter, Lorraine Rose, took over the reins. Greenwood’s son, Chris, has been the
head chef since 2000, when Lorraine’s health started to decline. Greenwood graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. He promised the ladies of the church if they wanted to continue the breakfast tradition, he would take over inventory, cooking and ordering duties. “It’s such a wonderful congregation and they are so welcoming and loving at this church,” Donna Greenwood said. The cost is $8 and carry-out is available for $6. Call 410-289-9340 for more information.

Third annual Elvis Festival in Ocean City this weekend By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) The third annual Ocean City Elvis Festival kicked off yesterday at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street, bringing 20 top Elvis Tribute artists from around the globe for a weekend of competition with the winner heading off next August for a national competition at Graceland in Memphis. The three-day event, which is produced by Vermont-based Sherry Management, awards a $2,000 prize to the top finisher, as well as an invitation to compete in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest held each August during Elvis Week in Memphis. The fun-filled weekend kicked off on Thursday night with a Welcome Karaoke Party at the Clarion Resort’s Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant. Although weekend passes are required to attend the Ultimate Elvis competitions beginning at noon on Friday, 9 a.m. on Saturday, with a final round commencing at 11 a.m. on Sunday, there are a number of other events open to the public based on ticket availability.

Shore Craft Beer Festival in downtown OC this Saturday By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 28, 2016) After a successful kickoff last year, the second annual Shore Craft Beer Festival takes place Saturday from 12:30-4:30 p.m. at Sunset Park in downtown Ocean City, providing a wide array of microbrews for craft beer lovers sample. Beginning at 12:30 p.m., the first hour will be reserved for VIP ticket holders, which cost $45 and will feature a selection of one-off brews made specifically for the festival. General admission begins at 1:30 p.m. and costs $35 at the door. Danny Robinson, owner of Backshore Brewing Co., located at 10th Street and the Boardwalk, said while the event allows consumers to see local breweries side by side, the benefits also abound for participating businesses. “You get a captive audience and you’re targeting the exact people that you want,” he said. “It’s the people we want to come to town.” Ann Hillyer, who launched shorecraftbeer.com two years ago, said the website and associated festival aims to market area microbreweries to a larger audience. With more than 75 percent of last year’s festivalgoers coming from out of town, Hillyer said Ocean City has proved an ideal market to promote “beercations,” and added that invalu-

able support has come from the Ocean City Development Corporation and the Town of Ocean City. From his past experience Robinson said it typically requires several years for beer festivals to become successful, a trend that Ocean City bucked last October with over 500 people attending the inaugural event. “The brewing trend is great for Ocean City,” he said. “Even though it’s an alcohol[-related] event it’s definitely not a binge drinking crowd.” As opposed to other events that draw large, at times problematic, crowds, Robinson said the typical beer festival attendee is generally low key. “Strangely enough, even though it’s an alcohol-related event you’re not chugging a $12 beer,” he said. “It’s a premium product and you’re [typically] not abusing it.” Vince Wright, brew master and suds supervisor at Fin City, based out of Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City, said last year’s festival attracted hundreds of eager suds lovers to sample quality handmade ales and he anticipates an even larger turnout this Saturday. “I love everything about this industry and everything it has to offer,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if I’m brewing, meeting with customers or pouring beer at See ASSORTMENT Page 62

For those with energy the following morning, the Elvis Gospel Music Event kicks off at 10 a.m. in the Clarion’s Crystal Ballroom. Cost is $20 for any tickets still available this weekend. To close out a rocking weekend of all things Elvis, a Wrap Party will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday in Horizons.
The cost is free and the gathering provides one last chance for fans to socialize with Elvis Tribute Artists and get one more dose of karaoke before the king of rock and roll’s spirit leaves the building.

SDMS student Ben Forbes recognized for test scores (Oct. 28, 2016) Benjamin Forbes, a student from Berlin, was honored recently as one of the brightest middle school students in the world during an international awards ceremony sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The Center honored Forbes, a student at Stephen Decatur Middle School, for his exceptional performance on the SAT, ACT, or similar college-readi- Benjamin Forbes ness assessment taken as part of the 2015-16 CTY Talent Search. CTY uses above-grade-level testing to identify advanced students from around the world and provide a clear picture of the students’ true academic abilities. This year, more than 27,000 students in second through eighth grades participated in CTY’s Talent Search, representing all 50 states and more than 60 countries. Seventh and eighth graders from this group who scored high enough on their above-grade-level test were invited to attend CTY’s Grand Ceremony on Oct. 16 on the Johns Hopkins University’s main campus. Nearly 1,000 students and their families were invited to the ceremony this year. “Students, your excellent test scores are what brought us here today, but this
is a celebration of what is behind those scores: a love of learning, a strong work ethic, and a high value placed on taking risks and welcoming challenges,” said Elaine Tuttle Hansen, executive director of CTY. “These are qualities that will provide you with many opportunities in the years ahead as you continue to grow as students and scholars.” At least 75 of the students honored during the ceremony achieved a perfect score on the reading or math section of their test. In addition, more than 400 Talent Search participants under age 13 achieved a score of 700 or higher on the math or verbal section of the SAT, and in turn, qualified for CTY’s Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent. Students honored during the 2016 Grand Ceremony also qualified for CTY’s summer, online, and family programs, through which academically advanced students meet and form a community of engaged learners with other bright students from around the world. Each year, there are more than 9,800 enrollments by bright pre-college students in CTY Summer Programs, held at 25 sites in the United States and Hong Kong on campuses ranging from Johns Hopkins and Princeton to Stanford and Berkeley. In addition, there are more than 14,500 enrollments in CTY Online Programs courses and more than 4,800 enrollments in Family Academic Programs each year.

acterized as their most aggressively hopped beer. “It’s crammed full of Centennial hops for a bright citrus delight,” he said. “This deep golden ale is finished with dry additions of fresh earthy hops over the course of many days to leave you with a richness and complexity you won’t find in any other 2xIPA.” Tall Tales Brewing Company, based in Parsonburg, will serve its Midnight Pumpkin Light Pumpkin Ale. The recipe uses real pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices to produce a delicate flavor lightly. Burley Oak Tavern will feature its Savage IPA and Sorry Chicky selections. OC Brewing Company on 56th Street, will have both its Pumpkin Hollow and Nuckin Futs selections on hand. Cambridge-based RAR Brewing will offer a pair of brews, including its flagship Nanticoke Nectar and Bucktown Brown. Mispillion River Brewing, from Milford, Delaware, will bring out its Black Tie IPA for the festival, which is brewed with Eldorado, Chinoock and Cascade hops. Dogfish Head, headquartered in Milton, Delaware, is also on board to provide seasonal offerings with its Punkin Ale, a full-bodied brown ale containing smooth hints of pumpkin, brown sugar and spices. The ale is brewed with pumpkin meat. In addition, 3rd Wave Brewing, based in Delmar, Delaware, has a trio of beer offerings including Sandstorm Belgian Tripel, Big Reef Porter and the Bombora Double IPA. Assawoman Bay Brewing Company, located on 45th Street in Ocean City, will have its Angry Clown Brown, a nutbrown ale containing a subtle hop bitterness to balance the malt profile, as well as its Md Marzen. Salisbury-based Evolution Craft Brewing Company will feature four distinct brewed offerings. The Jacques au Lantern, a fall seasonal unfiltered amber ale made with pumpkin and spices; Lot 6, which is loaded with tropical fruit and citrus notes; Rise Up Stout is made in a Caribbean style, famous for strong fullbodied stouts infused with coffee; and the Delmarva Pure Pils is an Eastern Shore take on a Czech-style pilsner. Other area breweries on hand include Blue Earl Brewing from Symrna, Delaware; Salisbury-based Rubber Soul Brewing Company; Fordham and Dominion Brewing Company from Dover, Delaware and St. Michaels-based Eastern Shore Brewing. Although the initial festival in 2015 set the bar fairly high, Hillyer said with the backing of the Town of Ocean City and Susan Jones and her team at the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, she anticipates the event becoming a trend setter for the area. “I think OC is the first adaptor,” she said. “When other municipalities realize how valuable this is they will jump on the bandwagon.” For more information, visit www.shorecraftbeerfest.com.

Thirty-some years ago, the late Chris Christ, a long-time Ocean City businessman, offered this observation after a less experienced businessperson complained of having a bad summer: “No,” he said. “We have great summers and we have good summers, but we don’t have bad summers.” His point was that while some tourist seasons are better than others, the positive or negative perception of the situation depends on who’s doing the talking. If, for instance, business overall increases marginally, as it did this year, that doesn’t mean every commercial enterprise experienced that same slight uptick in revenue. Christ also pointed out that a season’s success also depends on how many operations — especially similar ones — are vying for a slice of the pie as compared to previous years. In other words, the issue is not just about whether the economy grows, but whether it’s expanding at the same pace as the number of businesses that are trying to be a part of it. There’s no argument in the lodging industry that some of the new hotels draw guests away from some of the older ones, while the food and beverage sector also sees new ventures siphoning off revenue from more established places, as visitors explore the resort’s newest offerings. Then too, there is the weather to consider. It isn’t just a matter of rain, but when it rains that makes a difference. For retailers, rain during the week isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as visitors often spend those non-beach days checking out shops and stores. Meanwhile, a rainy day anytime doesn’t help outdoor food and beverage venues, of which there are many. Looking at the data reported by the Town of Ocean City, the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association and other sources, a couple of assumptions might be made: it was an outstanding year because it was slightly better than 2015, which was a great year in the minds of many, or it was a good year because sales more or less held steady, even though a rainy June left some businesses with a hole they had to fill later in the summer. This past season was probably both those things, depending on whom you ask, but overall it was anything but a bad summer.

Letters to the editor Glick award honors Sunset Grille owner
Editor, On Sunday, Oct. 23, the greater Ocean City area gathered to honor George Vincent “Buddy” Trala, as he was presented with the sixth annual Hal Glick Distinguished Service Award. A sell-out crowd turned out to honor “Buddy” in the Crystal Ballroom of the Clarion Fontainebleau Resort, for his many years of quiet philanthropic service to the community. Buddy is best known for his popular restaurant Sunset Grille. He has previously been recognized for his work with Believe in Tomorrow and Casey Cares. The beneficiaries of this event were: Diakonia, The Rebecca and Leighton Moore Child and Adolescent outpatient unit at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, Atlantic General Hospital, and Temple Bat Yam. Over $80,000 will be distributed to the charitable organizations involved. This award, was originally established to honor Hal Glick, an Ocean City business leader, for his vision, character and quiet philanthropy to the community. While Hal was the first recipient in 2010, the award
has since been expanded to recognize others who have distinguished themselves for their sustained community service and charitable contributions. In 2015 Hal lost his courageous struggle with cancer. This award is his legacy to the community. Since its establishment almost $500,000 has been raised for 15 local non-profits and our community hospitals. The nominating committee included community representatives and past award honorees. We would like to acknowledge and thank them. They were: Mayor Rick Meehan, Council Secretary Mary Knight, Reese Cropper III, Chris Glick, Dr. Leonard Berger, Kari Berger, Leighton Moore, Madlyn Carder, Billy Carder, Jack Burbage, and Buck Mann. The event would not be possible without our organizing committee who dedicated months of work to this effort. They are: Dean Geracimos, Dr. Leonard Berger, Tammy Patrick of AGH, Rebecca Moore, Chris Glick, Jack Burbage, and Steve Cohen. Special thanks to Dr. Berger and the excellent staff at the Clarion for hosting the event.
Ocean City’s favorite emcee David Rothner, better known as “Bulldog” from 98.1 Irie radio, and Erich “Mancow” Muller, made the entire evening so much fun. Musical entertainment was provided by Wes Davis and Lima Bean Riot. Our appreciation to all of the sponsors, and in particular, the Diamond, Platinum and Gold Sponsors: Ocean County Landfill Corporation, Sunset Grille, Dr. Leonard and Kari Berger, Guerrieri Family Foundation, Insurance Management Group, Jack Burbage Foundation, Leighton & Rebecca Moore, Sysco Eastern Shore MD, Tito’s Vodka, Breakthru Beverage, Casey Construction Group LLC, and Esham Partnership. The actual Distinguished Service award was presented to Buddy by last year’s honoree Jack Burbage in a moving tribute. Our gratitude to everyone who came out to recognize and support Buddy Trala. He is truly deserving of this award. We are looking forward to next year’s event, and the search for future worthy recipients.

Shirtless debate
OCTOBER 28, 2016
The answer to the question of whether it’s fair to allow men but not women go without shirts in certain places, or over certain places, as the case may be, depends on who we’re talking about. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve seen quite a few older guys on the beach who would make the world a better place by putting something on over what only can be described as a “chelly,” which would be the product of a merger of the chest and belly. No matter what By these people think, I Stewart submit that a body Dobson capable of scaring the baitfish out of the water because you’re shaped like a tuna is not meant to be put on display. You also have to think of the kids, especially when little Oswald sees granddad and then realizes how much he has to look forward to in life. “Wow, granddad, you look just like a manatee. Am I going to look like that some day?” “Not if you keep it up, junior.” As an aside, this physical characteristic is also the reason why so many older men wear their belts under their armpits: their waists having been
drawn into the great expanse, thus obligating them to use some other location to tie off their trousers. The thing is, some of us accept that gravity is eternal, while our desire to defeat it is something less than that. In my case, I think it was about two weeks of eating healthy and lifting weights before I soured on the idea. First, knowing that repetition is the key to success in weight training, I determined that it made more sense to lift weights 12 ounces at a time repeatedly. Second, lifting 12-ounce weights over the course of a few hours will ruin the whole healthy eating thing, although I still maintain that beer nuts are good for you. And as we all know, beer nuts can lead to the hard stuff — cheese and crackers, which leads to cheese, which leads to specially formulated dairy cheese-like product and, ultimately, a chelly. Personally, I really don’t care what anyone does as long as they don’t do it to me. And that would include people who want to lose their shirts, although I’ve done that in the past and it wasn’t that much fun. But I will say that perhaps the best way to start this topless business is in stages, and that we begin with shirtless people of a certain age group. There does come a time, after all, when you really can’t tell the difference.
