City accepts, then goes against pay study Plan recommends holding line on some maximums, but split council votes to approve 2 percent increase By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) In the most clear-cut instance since the 2014 municipal elections, the City Council was split this week between its old and new members over the philosophical intent of employee pay raises. The council voted 4-3 during its Tuesday afternoon session to implement the new wage tables that had been recommended by the city’s comprehensive
pay and classification study, completed this past June, but then proceeded to go beyond them. The difference of opinion was not over the efficacy of the new pay brackets themselves, but rather over the 2 percent across-the-board pay raise that the city had built into its budget earlier this year. Four members of the council believed that all employees should get the raise, even those who, under the new pay brackets effective Jan 1, 2016 will be paid more then the maximum wage set for their positions. The city has 25 such employees. “A lot of them haven’t received any adjustment at all in seven or eight years,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “Their lifestyle has eroded somewhat because
of inflation and we’re sending them a bad message.” But the three others, Wayne Hartman, Matt James and Tony DeLuca, believed if the study found those employees were earning more than the market maximum for their positions, there was no reason to worsen the situation by putting them even further above what should have been their salary caps. “To pay for a pay study, and then add to that and go beyond it defeats the point of the pay study and compounds the problems we already have,” Hartman argued. “We’re going to pay people even further above the salary range that we paid a professional to analyze ...

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) The next meeting of the Worcester Commissioners on Nov. 3 will be the last one when Sonny Bloxom will act alone in the capacity of county attorney. He formally retires on Dec. 18. Former Wicomico County Attorney Maureen Howarth will join Bloxom on Nov. 9, to prepare to assume his duties. Bloxom will leave Worcester with his wife, Christine, for a condominium in Marathon, Fla. and his 35-foot sailboat, which will be moored about 75 feet from his back door. Bloxom has been a fixture in Worcester politics since 1990 when he was first elected to the Board of County Commissioners. BeSee LEGAL on Page 6

Salary caps for long-term staff in question Continued from Page 1 even do these expensive pay studies.” The study, performed by Management Advisory Group International (MAGI), was intended to create new, unified pay brackets that would replace the current hodgepodge of municipal pay scales that vary between city departments and tenure tracks. Overall, MAGI found that most of the city’s current pay tables have extremely broad ranges – the span from any given pay grade’s minimum starting salary to the salary maximum. Most pay grades in Ocean City have a 70 percent spread, with some executive positions seeing a range of 83 percent. A majority of other local governments surveyed have pay ranges of 50 to 60 percent within a given position, according to MAGI’s report. The new pay scales being implemented will thus narrow the ranges to 60 percent, with a difference of five percent between a given pay grade and the same experience level on the pay grade one notch above or below it. “Our ranges were pretty broad and MAGI came back with a recommendation to narrow those ranges, which in most cases brought the minimum up, and in some cases brought the maximum down,” said city Human Resources Director Wayne Evans. This latter alteration is the issue, since 25 employees will be paid above the salary cap that will go into effect Jan 1. Simultaneously, the city’s budget includes a 2 percent raise to be given to all employees as of the same date. “When the 2 percent was discussed, my memory of that and what I anticipated was that it was being treated as a COLA, and it wasn’t a merit or step increase where a valuation would address that, it was a cost-of-living ... even for employees who had reached their maximum,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. However, characterizing such a move as a cost-of-living adjustment isn’t correct, Evans said. COLAs are intended not only to increase each employee’s pay, but also to boost the pay brackets themselves to adjust for inflation. But since the city just established new market rate brackets, there’s no

reason to arbitrarily bump them up another 2 percent on the day they’re implemented, he said. If the council wished to still give 2 percent to above-maximum employees, it would involve pushing them further above their theoretical salary cap, not raising the salary cap itself. “I would think of a COLA being applied to the pay ranges and moving up the pay ranges themselves,” Evans said. “Since we just established a new set of pay ranges, I would not call it [a COLA] ... only to create that distinction, because I don’t want to move the ranges.” If that was the case – and the ranges were the appropriate maximums for the market and the nature of the work – then there was no justification for the hike on those 25 positions, opponents argued. Although the city had budgeted for those raises, it is also facing an addi-
tional $84,000 per year to bring a handful of employees up to the new minimums, even after they receive their 2 percent base raise. “We budgeted 2 percent for everyone but we also didn’t budget to bring everyone to minimum,” Hartman said. “We’re going to go over budget by giving everyone 2 percent, even the people who we just deemed overpaid.” Supporting Hartman’s argument, DeLuca acknowledged the budgeted pay increase, but not how it would be disbursed. “My intent was that I certainly supported a 2 percent pay raise as a budgeted dollar amount, but never was it intended to be a flat rate for every employee to get exactly 2 percent,” DeLuca said. He further questioned if, and when, the city would be able to implement some type of merit-based raise system
that would reward high-performers, instead of giving out flat percentages or tenure raises. MAGI had offered to provide the city with an evaluation system to do so. “Trying to come up with a system to do that fairly for everyone is a really big task,” Dare countered. “If they [MAGI] have a system that’s proven to work, it’s worth looking at ... as far as performance goes, we’ve been using a stick instead of a carrot.” Also included in the council’s action, although less controversial, was a move to consolidate part-time and seasonal pay tables into unified pay grades, which are matched to equivalent fulltime positions’ grades. The cost of bringing part-time employees up to minimum – mostly bus drivers, seasonal police, and lifeguards – is an additional $143,000 per year.

Legal, political fixture departing county ranks Continued from Page 1 fore that, he was the Pocomoke City Attorney, beginning in 1979, while maintaining a private practice until 2008, when he was named county attorney. He graduated Pocomoke High in 1964, from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1968, and the University of Maryland School of Law in 1976. He was born in Pocomoke, and currently resides in the house he’s lived in since he was five years old in Pocomoke City. “After I graduated law school, I certainly had offers to practice” in a big city, he said, “but I had no desire to live in a big city. I love the Eastern Shore lifestyle. It’s more laid back, near the water and I can go one half mile outside of town and be in a forest.” Living in a small town was an expe-

rience he wanted to pass on to his children. “They all agree with me in the sense that it’s a great place to be raised. My oldest daughter probably Sonny Bloxom comes the closest. She lives down on a 10.5-acre farm in Mississippi. My other daughter lives in Louisiana, near Baton Rouge and my son lives in Annapolis.” He served as a county commissioner until 1995 when he lost a bid for reelection. Three years later, in 1998, he was again elected, was reelected in 2002 and left office in 2006. He returned as attorney in 2008. As a county commissioner, the easiest decisions were made when the county “didn’t have a whole lot of money,” he said. “The hardest deci-

sions were when we had a lot of money. It may sound counterintuitive but it isn’t.” “When there’s not a whole lot of money, you have to spend it on your core responsibilities as a government. Whereas when you have a lot of excess money, you have to decide if you’ve collected too much in taxes and have to give some back, or decide what we do with the excess,” he said. When there is excess money, Bloxom said, everyone knows about it and everyone wants a piece. That’s when the board needs to start making judgment calls, he said. “It’s a lot easier to say ‘no’ when you don’t have it,” Bloxom said. The best decision he thinks his class of commissioners made was to abolish the sanitary commission in 1993. “I and some of the other commis-

sioners came to realize if you wanted to control development in the county you had to control the water and sewer,” he said. Bloxom explained the Sanitary Commission was an independent legal body appointed by the governor and abolishing it required passage of a law in the General Assembly. Once that was achieved, Bloxom said, the commissioners started filling the board with members who would vote to end the board. The most difficult thing the county ever had to go through was the voting rights lawsuit in the early 1990s, he said. The case eventually ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court. The legal action against the county filed by Honiss Cane Jr. of Pocomoke and others began in 1992. Up until that time, the county commissioners were elected at-large, Bloxom said. According to published reports, Cane, backed by the NAACP and ACLU, filed suit alleging this structure was discriminatory. Bloxom was named as a defendant in the suit, which he eventually lost. It cost him his next election, but not the one after. “The bottom line is we now have districts. It was very expensive for the county and caused a lot of hard feelings,” he said. “I don’t hold grudges and it’s all in the past. Jim Purnell, who was one of the plaintiffs, served together with me on the county commissioners. We got along great. I was president and he was vice president.” Even though he lost that one, Bloxom said he is happy with the choices and decisions he’s made. “I don’t think I made any major mistakes. My biggest thing, which is also how I approach being a lawyer, is doing your research and knowing the facts when I’m trying to make a decision,” he said. However, he recalls following his normal procedure when the county was developing setbacks for critical areas, and thinking he was definitely going one way, until listening to an argument from the other side, which ultimately changed his mind. “I’d gone into the meeting with one preconceived idea but came out with ‘Wow, that person’s right,’” he said. With his deep connection to Pocomoke City, Bloxom continues to argue for county unity. “There’s always been friction between the north and south ends and there really shouldn’t be because we’re not that big of a county. Our kids should all have the same opportunities. A school in the north end should be the same as in the south end. By that I mean you don’t necessarily spend the same money,” he said. “If you have greater needs in the south end, which we do, because of a higher concentration of poverty … that means you’ve got to spend more money just to be even.” The most important issue facing Worcester County today, Bloxom said, was the continuing discussion regardSee BENEFITS Page 7

Boardwalk Task Force holds first post-season meeting Street performers seek way to end signup process that caused City Hall campouts
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) The Ocean City government’s first post-season Boardwalk Task Force hearing Monday night went about how everyone expected, which is to say that no one was really happy. As they have throughout the summer, local street performers turned out in numbers to criticize the assigned space system that was implemented in July to control Boardwalk overcrowding. Business owners, on the other hand, expressed enthusiasm that the new policy had cut down on the number of buskers in front of their stores, although many would still seem to prefer them gone entirely.
While the five-person task force took this week to listen, and has yet to outline any actual changes, the members seemed to at least appreciate that things have become a bit more congenial. “When we started, there was a good bit of animosity between the businesses and the street performers and I think some of that has died down,” said Task Force Chairman Greg Shockley. “There’s been some accommodation on both sides, on the performer side and the business side. The big issue, of all the things we’ve heard this evening, is the signups.” The core element of Chapter 62 of the city code – the street performer ordinance – is the provision that limits performance on the Boardwalk from Ninth Street south to 32 designated spaces. The spaces range in size from 25 to 100 square feet, and no performer See SIGNUPS Page 8
Benefits, county unity need to be on radar, Bloxom says Continued from Page 6 ing post-employment health benefits to retirees. The county recently changed from a 90-10 to an 80-20 split for spouses and dependents, but continues to struggle with the $129 million liability left over from a $197 million total cost of providing coverage. “I don’t pretend to know what the right answer is, but the commissioners probably can’t continue doing what they’re doing now. It’s got to be something less. It’s not all or nothing — there’s got to be some kind of median there you can strike,” he said.
As for moving forward, when the institutional knowledge of county operations is lessened to a degree by his absence, Bloxom reiterates advice he said he’s given the board before. “When you become a county commissioner, always make your decisions so that you’ll leave the county in better shape than when you started. If that’s your goal, to leave it better than you found it, then you will have succeeded. Don’t be swayed by groups or newspaper editorials or teacher’s unions or whatever else,” he said. “At the end of the day, when you put your head on the pillow, it’s just you.”

Signups present no safety benefit, buskers say Continued from Page 7 can sign up for the same location twice in a row. Signups for any given time begin at 9 a.m. Monday at the clerk’s office in City Hall, for spaces to be used the following Monday through Thursday. Beginning at 9 a.m. Friday, signups begin for the following Friday through Sunday space assignment. When implemented in July, the system quickly became competitive to the point where some performers were camping outside the building at night before signups to secure an ideal spot. Rather than providing equal opportunity, performers allege, free expression is now being valued on how able a person is to wait in front of city hall for 16 hours. “Some people were showing up at 5 p.m. the day before ... it became useless,” said spray paint artist Mark Chase, the street performers’ representative on the task force. “We could have better self-regulated ourselves.” Apparently, many did so. Several street performers began organizing among themselves which spots they desired for what times and then sent a single person to City Hall to sign up. “Some performers requested that I allow a person other than the performer or group member to be an agent and sign up on their behalf,” said City Clerk Diana Chavis. “The

on-site, rather than signing up at City Hall, would’ve made a difference for public order as far as police were concerned. “I don’t know that it would’ve had any,” Grady said. Performers also touched on a number of other changes needed in Chapter 62, some of which had already been informally made, such as an easing the prohibition of props over five feet in height to allow sunshades, and an exception for long bathroom lines to the stipulation that performer equipment cannot be unattended for more than 15 minutes. Performers were also adamant that the sharing of spaces by multiple performers and the use of unoccupied spaces by other performers be allowed. “Every business owner I’ve spoken to has really enjoyed the variety [of performers] we had on the Boardwalk this summer,” said Yesim Karaman, owner of Golden Plate. “[Sharing spaces] defeats the purpose of the rotation. If they could create a rotation system to the point where someone isn’t in the same spot all summer long, that would be great. But if someone’s paying someone else to sleep outside, who’s to say they’re not paying them to share their spot?” The next hearing date for the task force has not been set.

New busker suit filed challenging 2011 decision
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) As an interesting, but yet undetermined addendum to this week’s Boardwalk Task Force discussion, local provocateur Tony Christ has filed another lawsuit in federal court that attempts to re-open the 2011 case that found against the city government’s previous street performer regulations. Christ, who is representing himself in the matter (the legal term is “pro se”), was the only person this past summer fined under the new Boardwalk ordinance for performing without signing up for a space, something he did expressly in order to make himself party to the matter. The case that Christ is asking the court to revisit is the 2011 decision by Judge Ellen Hollander on a suit brought against the city by spray paint artist Mark Chase, who is now a member of the city’s task force on new street performer regulations. The Chase suit saw Hollander declare the city’s previous street performer registration system unconstitutional, as it required performers to register without actually putting any controls on them that served a public or governmental interest, and was simply a barrier to entry. Christ contends that, while the language on the city’s new policy has changed, the punitive intent is the same. “Mark won, because he got the right to sell his paintings without supervision, but everybody else lost,” Christ said. “Now, you’ve got the community against the performers, the businesses against the performers, the council and their attorneys against the performers, trying to come up with something to get around the ruling. Who is missing? The millions of visitors who enjoy the performers.” Christ alleges that the signup process, while ostensibly to allot spaces for crowd control, is an attempt to re-introduce a registration system that had already been deemed illegal by the court. He also attempts to support his argument by furthering a theory that the city solicitor and the outside attorneys hired to help craft the new Boardwalk policy had a primarily financial interest. The city has thus far spent $206,000 on the new law, at the encouragement of the lawyers who stand to be paid even if the new policy is struck down in court, Christ claims. His filing also includes numerous affidavits from performers who say they have suffered undue inability to exercise their First Amendment rights because they can’t arrive at City Hall early enough on Mondays and Fridays to sign up. Whether the attempt to have Hollander re-adjudicate will hold any legal water has yet to be seen.

Plaintiffs added, summons issued in Dead Freddies suit Owner has 21 days to reply or be found liable in worker wage, overtime policy case
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Though the specifics of their allegations have yet to be made public, two more people, ostensibly former employees of Dead Freddies, have joined a growing class-action suit that alleges several wage and overtime violations at the Ocean City restaurant. Joshua Snyder, of Middletown, Pa. and Cassie Kilmartin, of Honey Brook, Pa. filed documents with the court last week. Additionally, according to court documents, co-owner Stephen Carullo has been served with the lawsuit and has been given 21 days, excluding the date of delivery, to answer the complaint. The submitted documents did not indicate when the notice was served to the defendant. The document, dated Oct. 23, states, “If you fail to respond, judgment by default will be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint. You also must file your answer or motion with the court.” The listed attorneys on this document are Gordon, Wolf and Carney, who specialize in class-action lawsuits. The attorney who initially filed the case, Howard Hoffman, is a wage and overtime specialist, and continues to represent the plaintiffs. The case was filed Aug. 27 in federal court in Baltimore, alleging numerous wage and overtime violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Maryland Wage and Hour Law and the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law. So far, the only action taken by the defense was to unsuccessfully challenge the claims of two plaintiffs, Desmond Dale, of Ocean City, and Salman Afridi of Salisbury. Judge Ellen Hollander denied the
motion to dismiss, as the plaintiffs had filed an amended complaint addressing the issues to the court’s satisfaction. The case is developing two prongs concerning ‘front of the house’ and ‘back of the house’ employees. According to court documents, the back of the house complaints allege workers were paid salary and never received overtime regardless of how many hours were worked. Also, the plaintiffs accuse the restaurant and owner of withholding this salary should the employee fail to meet a 40-hour week minimum for any reason. The plaintiffs argue they often worked in excess of 75 hours per week during the summer and were never paid any overtime. For tipped employees, the plaintiffs make many additional claims. For example, a former server captain said in court documents she was told by the defendant’s bookkeeper, “it did not matter how many hours she worked, the defendants would just adjust her time anyway.” Other servers accuse management of taking a “tip credit” against minimum wage obligations without informing the employees of the amount they were taking, that they were taking the credit at all or that servers have the right to retain all tips unless it’s part of a valid tip pooling arrangement, which, if found to be true, is a violation of labor law. Additionally, the lawsuit claims the defendants deducted 3.5 percent from gratuities paid by credit card to recoup processing fees. Court documents claim this charge was “excessive, did not reflect the actual business expenses in processing tips left on credit cards and was significantly more than what the defendants actually incurred in the course of their business.” Multiple phone calls to Carullo and his attorney, Mark Saudek, have not been returned.

Post-Shoreline Commission county procedures clarified By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Though it was formally abolished in mid-September and the commission held its final meeting at the beginning of the month, the law formally dissolving the Shoreline Commission took effect this week. The powers entrusted to the board to review projects have been absorbed by the Department of Environmental Programs’ staff and the Board of Zoning Appeals will hear challenges to staff decisions. If a party is still unsatisfied with the outcome after the board has rendered a decision, the process will move to the courts. “I think we have a good system and department in place to handle this,” Bob Mitchell, director of environmental services, said. “We’re still going to have neighbor complaints but I think we provide good assistance.” First among the changes is a new application, according to a memo from the department to contractors and other interested parties. The contents of the application will “generally” be the same, but the deadline to submit has been removed, as the department will accept applications on a rolling basis. “The big thing is no monthly deadline,” David Bradford, natural resources administrator, said. “We’re still going to notify neighbors of the 15-day public comment period and break down projects into ‘major’ and ‘minor’ subcategories.” To the public, the process will appear the same, Mitchell said. “Administratively, we did all this before in preparation of cases, but we’re not waiting for a commission meeting or quorum,” Mitchell said. Instead of the seven-member board with each member appointed by a sitting county commissioner, two staff members will review incoming applications.
Minor projects, like installing a boatlift, will be reviewed by Joy Barrs, natural resource planner for the county. Major projects, such as constructing a pier, will be evaluated by Bradford. “The savings, right now, is in the expense of appearance and preparation for the board,” Mitchell said. “With that financial burden lessened, we’ll look at the fees. During budget negotiations in July seems appropriate.” As applications are reviewed, according to the memo, approvals or denials will be issued in writing. Minor applications will then proceed to permitting, amending and resubmitting the application in case of changes or to the appeals process. Major project applications will be reviewed for sufficient information and if it is found to be complete, the neighbor notification process is triggered. If incomplete, a list of the deficiencies will be provided to the applicant in writing. Once the review is complete, according to the memo, a written determination will be provided. Along with the success or failure of an application, the department will also issue findings of fact in four specific and one general area. The specific areas include environmental impact, navigational impact, commercial benefit as well as surrounding area and property value concerns. In general, the department will also make findings of fact with regard to “other matters as considered appropriate and germane to the issue.” Conditions may also be placed on the permit, just as they were under the Shoreline Commission, according to the memo. Under the old board, Mitchell said, there were “three appeals in 10 years.” Two of those, he said, were neighbor complaints and the last was on behalf of an environmental group.

Marsh begins aquaculture operations near South Point Opponents’ legal options exhausted, but promise to keep watchful eye on farm
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Now that the lawsuits and appeals have ended, and the permits issued, Don Marsh has begun growing oysters on a lease he secured in 2009 near South Point. Already, Marsh has about 30,000 oysters in the bay and will, over the next several days and weeks, begin seeding a crop of another 100,000 bivalves. “Everyone is concerned that I’ll be growing millions and millions of oysters and bringing trucks and barges through the neighborhoods,” Marsh said. “That sounds like a logistical and operational headache and I have no taste for it at this point in my life. I enjoy the process and that’s the incentive for me.” Marsh said he was only working “one section of one lease” at this point — the southernmost portion farthest from shore. “My intention is not to be intrusive. I want to see how this works,” he said. Marsh is a newcomer to aquaculture, but a longtime environmental-
ist. He said in a previous interview he was an “ardent conservationist and environmentalist” and believed the planet was becoming less habitable. Oysters are nature’s water filters. Marsh said one oyster could process up to 50 gallons of water per day, skimming it clean from algae for sustenance. “As a businessman, I can finally do something that I cannot find anything about it that isn’t good. My whole life has been behind-the-desk kind of occupation: indoors, banking, finance and running companies. It’s a complete change of direction for me and it’s wonderfully good for the environment, great for the people, the water, it helps offset some of the problems with agriculture — it’s all good stuff,” Marsh said previously. In pursuit of his new venture, Marsh first filed for an aquaculture lease in 2009 and at that time held the largest lease in the state of Maryland. His neighbors in South Point did not support the plan. Navigability, visibility and appropriateness concerns swirled around the project, but it was finally the types of cages Marsh said he would use that appeared to gain the most traction. In the interceding years, Marsh has significantly revised his initial plan. The Army Corps of Engineers

cleared the aquaculture operation in August and the Coast Guard in September decided how the lease should be marked. “It’s a little bit more risky to start now, but I’m not willing to lose another year,” he said. Sylvia Tunis, a South Point resident whose view includes the entirety of the Marsh lease, remains unchanged in her opposition. “Our legal options with regard to his lease are exhausted, but we will be watching his operation closely. This is a large commercial operation near a residential and recreational area, and it hasn’t been done before,” Tunis said. Marsh, unfazed by the multiple challenges and continuing oversight of his neighbors, is focusing on planting, harvesting and selling oysters. “I’ve sold a tiny sum so far but people are very, very happy. Ocean City is a center for seafood and was, at one
time, for shellfish. I can offer a locally grown product to the many commercial operations in the area,” he said. On the plus side, because of the conditions in which the oysters are grown in the Chincoteague Bay, they develop a unique taste. “The Chincoteague Bay is saltier and people prefer a slight saltiness to the oyster. Our water is also nutrientrich, but we can control that a bit because on the east side of my lease more water comes from the Ocean City Inlet, which is saltier. On the west side, the water is more brackish and supports different algae that the oysters eat,” he explained. The different flavors the oysters’ offer can be used to develop exclusive brands for particular shellfish, he said. Marsh also hinted at providing oysters to local causes such as firefighters or a shelter to aid in their fundraising.

Medical marijuana application deadline looms As Nov. 6 cutoff nears, no forms from Worcester or Wicomico submitted yet
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) As Maryland moves slowly toward joining the handful of other states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana, the issue now is determining who will be permitted to cash in by growing, processing and selling the state’s newest cash crop. The Natalie M. LaPrade Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, the state agency tasked with implementing the state’s medical marijuana infrastructure, estimated in a release that dispensaries should be open and operating by the second half of 2016. Before that, however, interested
parties are required to make an application to be licensed. The application wasn’t released until the end of September and will lead to the commission awarding 15 grower, an unlimited number of processor and just two dispensary licenses per state senate district. Worcester County resides in the 38th District, which also includes Somerset County and part of eastern Wicomico. Western Wicomico shares its district, and potential two dispensaries, with Talbot, Dorchester and parts of Caroline counties. If it sounds like a simple process, it isn’t. The application document is 75 pages and composed of yes/no questions, short answer and information release sections. According to commission director Hannah Byron, no applications have been received from either Worcester or Wicomico
counties. “The application is comprehensive and people need every bit of time to ensure their application is complete,” she said. The directory of physicians who are, or wish to be, certified to prescribe medical cannabis is open for registration, but not public review. After the deadline, the dispensary applications will be reviewed, ranked and awarded pre-approval, according to a release from the commission. “Each applicant awarded a stage one license approval will have 365 days from the date of notification to complete all necessary steps to obtain a formal license and to request final inspection by the commission,” the release states. Sample steps include acquiring capital and real estate, securing proper zoning approvals and making
themselves ready to do everything except opening the doors. Meanwhile, Towson University’s Regional Economic Studies Institute, which helped develop the applications, assist in evaluating and reviewing them, according to the release. “RESI will rank the applications based on these scores for the commission to review. The commission will make the final decision on issuing licenses,” the release states. According to the program’s timeline, review of the applications will start in December, and the registries for patients and caregivers will go live sometime within this period as well. In spring or summer of 2016, according to the proposed timeline, stage two inspections of the stage one approved-businesses will be conducted on a rolling basis, as potential awardees complete the formal license steps.
Family health fair to take place next week in Snow Hill
(Oct. 30, 2015) The annual AGH Healthy Happenings Community Health Fair is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 at Snow Hill Middle School, from 8 a.m. to noon. The focus of this year’s fair is Pathways to Health incorporating activities for the whole family and health screenings, including flu shots. There will also be a $250 gift card random drawing for those who turn in their form showing 25 vendor/screener visits (one per table). “We’re excited to bring the Healthy Happenings Community Health Fair to Snow Hill this year, and look forward to sharing Pathways to Health with our partners and the community,” said AGH Community Education Manager, Dawn Denton. All free screenings and Kids Korner fun will take place between 8 a.m. and noon.

Seacrets breaks ground on landmark distillery building Facility to be completed by ‘16 season; plans already in works for future growth
ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Seacrets owner Leighton Moore, right, confers with architect Keith Iott at the site of Seacrets’ new distillery building on 49th Street following a groundbreaking on Monday.
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Despite its name, Seacrets has never really been a secret to anyone. Now, with the construction of a multi-story distillery, it will be even less so. “I take a certain pride in having been here the first night, when it opened with a 40-seat tiki bar,” said Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38). “Now, when I’m out on the street talking about Ocean City, Seacrets is often the first thing people mention.” On Monday, venue owner
Leighton Moore officially broke ground on the construction of Ocean City’s first on-site distillery, to be located along the south side of 49th Street, to the immediate east of Seacrets’ Morley Hall nightclub and concert space. The 12,000 square foot-structure, slated for completion by June of 2016, is designed to resemble a turnof-the-century industrial facility, with exposed brick, steel, and large windows allowing passersby on the street to see the liquor tanks and work going on inside. “We were trying to emulate an early 20th century manufacturing facility,” said architect Keith Iott. “You want to know what it is from the outside.” Moore also was joined by Delegate Mary Beth Carozza (R-38C), who introduced legislation earlier this year in Annapolis to allow on-site distilling by Class D Maryland liquor license holders. Although Seacrets has sold its own brand of liquors for some time, those spirits are produced on contract by Delaware Distilling Co. “When I heard Leighton was having to send business out of state to Delaware, I thought, ‘that’s not acceptable,’” Carozza said. After the legislation was signed by Gov. Larry Hogan this past spring, Moore was able to secure state permission to produce up to 100,000 gallons of alcohol per year, of which 15,500 can be sold inside Seacrets itself. The rest will have to be sold to distributors. “Given our capacity, they’re limiting us to really about 25 percent of what we need,” Moore said. “But you have to walk before you run. They want to make sure we’re running well and paying our taxes right. We can always go back and ask for more.” If the facility hits its mark of a June opening, Ocean City could see domestically produced vodkas and gins within a few short weeks. Rum and whiskey products will naturally take longer and bourbon, by law, must age for three years.

“When I heard Leighton was having to send business out of state to Delaware, I thought, ‘that’s not acceptable.’” Del. Mary Beth Carozza (R-38C) “We’re looking at an off-site storage facility to do that,” Moore said. “We’re actually in an ideal climate for whiskey. There’s a band, a latitude, that runs through Kentucky and through here, where it’s perfectly temperate.” As illustrated by recent Jim Beam commercials, fine whiskey is produced by aging the product in oak barrels over several years, where dry, cold winters and wet, hot summers force the liquid to expand and contract into the wood, giving it flavor. “The interior surface area is greater for a smaller barrel, compared to how much liquid it holds,” Moore said. “We’ve ordered some 25 gallon barrels that will produce the same whiskey in about 60 to 70 percent of the time it would take in a larger barrel.” Distilling, however, is only one part of what the new building will eventually do. Moore has plans to add additional floors above what is being built this winter, which will eventually connect to new space above the existing Morley Hall building. This will house a wedding and banquet facility with its own kitchen and a sound studio. Not only are future expansions planned in Moore’s head, they’ve already been designed, given that the city fire marshal would not sign off on the plans until all future safety encumbrances had been fleshed out, Moore said. “I actually spent a lot more money on Keith’s end, because we had to design a $10 million to $12 million facility, even though what we’re building now is nowhere near that,” Moore said. “But we didn’t want this first part to get in the way of the future.” “The entire thing is actually a steel frame,” Iott said. “It’s a very robust structure.”

City avoids healthcare price hike for 2016 Cost share on deluxe plan going up for employees; Cadillac Tax may hit in ‘18 By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Ocean City government’s self-insurance health system has again saved the municipal budget from major healthcare cost increases, although the premium share for those city employees with the highest-benefit health plan will be going up slightly. The City Council voted Tuesday to renew its health insurance plan with CareFirst for 2016, with no net impact in expense versus the current year. The city has budgeted just shy of $8.48 million for health coverage this year.
“It’s not something we see with a lot of our clients, but you are at an advantage given the way you set up the self-funded arrangement,” said Rosanne Calzeta of Bolton Partners, the city’s insurance consultant. Under a self-insured system, the city pays the costs of its employees’ medical claims directly out of funds set aside at the beginning of the year. If a given year’s claims turn out to be less than was set aside – as has been the case in 2014 and likely 2015 – the leftover funds can be accrued in an account for later years. If the claims turn out to be in excess, the city’s annual cost will be capped at 105 percent of the original projection, with CareFirst crediting the rest and rolling the balance over into subsequent years’ payments. This is as opposed to a fully in-
sured plan, where the city pays CareFirst a flat rate regardless of the actual claims cost, thus having CareFirst assume all the risk and reward. Because the city has set aside 105 percent of its projected costs for 2014 and 2015, and has actual incurred less than 100 percent, it now has a balance that can be used for any overages in later years, obviating the need to put aside the extra five percent. “We feel confident that if a publicsector client has enough in reserve for the five percent exposure for two years, they are safe, which is why we’re not including the five percent for your third year [of self-funding],” Calzeta said. This budget reduction will cancel out the 4.9 percent increase in billed

rates that CareFirst will be imposing next year. “Between the 4.9 percent on the CareFirst rates, but not adding the five percent to your claims, we get the net zero for the year,” Calzeta said. Originally, she said, CareFirst was asking for a nine percent increase, but Bolton was able to negotiate the rate down with a few minor concessions. One of these is to bump the city’s stop-loss from $125,000 to $150,000. This is level at which CareFirst will pick up the balance on a single person’s claims, reducing the risk of one particularly unhealthy person to the city’s overall year-end experience – essentially an insurance against insurance. “This means that anyone who has claims in excess of $150,000 is no longer the town’s liability,” Calzetta said. Additionally, in order to gain a net-zero increase, the city will be raising the employee cost share of premiums for the most extensive health plan option – the PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan – in the coming year. PPO cost share will now be 80 percent employer subsidized, as opposed to the previous 85 percent. See HSA Page 19

HSA continues to be best, only option for new hires Continued from Page 18 With PPO premiums around $7,000 per year for an individual, the average employee who chooses this plan would see an extra $350 per year out of their paycheck. Subsidy for the cheaper HMO plan will remain at 90 percent, and at 85 percent for the high-deductible insurance option that comes with a health savings account program. Under this, the city gives each employee the cash amount of their deductible – $1,300 per individual or $2,600 per family – that they can use to cover health costs, if needed, and put the balance into a reserve account. The HSA system was introduced in 2011 and is now the only option for new hires. It has also been an important factor in reducing costs, Calzetta said. “The HSA continues to be the most generous benefit package for the price, from both the town and the employee standpoint,” she said. Although not a concern for 2016, Calzetta also said the city will more
Prayer breakfast features athlete, speaker Mero
(Oct. 30, 2015) The Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast will return in 2016 and is presented by the Greater Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin, Snow Hill and the Pocomoke chambers of commerce. After 25 years, Bruce Spangler stepped down as the breakfast organizer. The chambers responded to several requests from past participants and supporters of the event and decided it should begin anew. The annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast will be held Friday, Jan. 15 at 7 a.m. at the Clarion Fontainebleau hotel on 101st Street in Ocean City. Former professional wrestler Mark Mero will be the speaker for the event. Mero, who grew up in a singleparent home in Buffalo, N.Y., applied himself to sports, and found success with hockey, football and boxing and then achieved fame as a professional wrestler in the 1990s. Mero wrote a book, “How to be the Happiest Person on the Planet,” and will describe his personal story along with tips for achieving one’s potential. He has spoken at more than 700 events, and has made appearances on national TV shows including Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace and Montel Williams. Tickets are $20 per person and table sponsorships are available. Tickets may be purchased online at www.oceancity.org or at the area chambers.
than likely run up against the socalled “Cadillac Tax,” slated to go into effect in 2018. This tax, put in place by the Affordable Care Act, is charged against high-premium plans that offer extensive coverage but are also believed, on a wider scale, to incentivize the continued inflation of health costs. The taxes collected will help fund federal subsidies of lowcost health plans for the otherwise uninsured. The tax will be charged on the amount by which annual premiums exceed a certain threshold, at a rate of 40 percent. For individuals, that threshold is $10,200, and $27,500 for families. Premiums for city employees actively working are still well below this level, even for the PPO, but could rise to that point within three to five years after the 2018 implementation, Calzetta said. Additionally, health insurance offered to qualifying retired city employees already goes past this mark, with the post-retirement PPO premium at $11,950 per person per year, offered at an 80/20 split between the city and the retiree. The city does not offer post-retirement family coverage.

Roommate fight Matthew E. Severe, 25, was arrested after an alleged assault on his roommate around 10 p.m. on Oct. 26. According to police, Severe’s roommate called for assistance to their residence at the Key Apartments on Coastal Highway and 72nd Street, alleging that Severe had punched him after becoming irate and flipping over their sofa. The two had been drinking at a resort restaurant, the roommate reported to police. An argument ensued over past-due rent, police believe. Severe allegedly fled the apartment before police arrived, but was
found across the street where he was “confrontational with officers at the scene and did not answer any questions pertaining to the assault.” Severe was arrested for second-degree assault and released on his own recognizance by a judge. A trial is scheduled for Nov. 30.

The incident took place around 10 p.m. on Oct. 27. Hayes alleges that Anderson smelled of alcohol, and failed several field sobriety tests before refusing a breathalyzer. The report also states that Anderson admitted to Hayes that he had done a “key bump” of cocaine in the bathroom at a West Ocean City restaurant prior to driving into town. A small amount of the drug was allegedly found on Anderson’s person. Anderson was charged with numerous

POLICE/COURTS Child welfare workers had been to the apartment earlier to conduct an investigation, where they allegedly noticed that Fetter was drunk and unable to care for her seven-year-old child, the report states. The child was allowed to stay in the home after a friend of Fetter arrived to help. When Snyder arrived that evening to do a check-up, he alleges, he found that both Fetter and the friend were intoxicated. Fetter allegedly told officers to “get the [expletive] off my property and come back with a warrant,” but approached Snyder in an “aggressive manner” as he tried to leave. As Snyder and his partner waited by their car for social services to arrive, Fetter came out of her home, onto the sidewalk, and continued to
scream profanities, he reported. After informing her that she would be arrested if she continued to cause a public disturbance, officers were able to handcuff Fetter and put her in their vehicle, Snyder wrote. She then attempted to kick the windows out of the patrol car, and did so again after being put into another vehicle. She also attempted to kick the officer attempting to transfer her, Snyder alleged. The report notes that the child was found in the apartment amidst numerous open containers of alcohol with furniture blocking the windows. The child was put in foster care by social services, Snyder wrote. Fetter’s charges include assault, failure to obey a lawful order and confinement of an unattended child. She was released on $5,000 bond.

Towed vehicle search terms codified Examining auto contents pursuant to investigation not administrative inventory
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) The city council approved a new general order for the Ocean City Police Department this week that will clarify when, and how, officers conduct vehicle tows in the resort. The policy was last updated in 1988, OCPD Capt. Greg Guiton noted, and while a number of the procedures included in the new policy have been standard practice for some time, they have yet to be actually codified. Much of the new policy deals with how officers go about taking inventory of a vehicle that is being towed into police custody, something that must be done for liability purposes, but also must walk a fine line regarding probable cause for searches. “We had spoken with the state’s attorney about a couple incidents in court when the policy was questioned by officers, primarily relating to inventories and situations resulting in
Check out this week’s
arrest,” Guiton said. “There was no detail of how inventory was conducted and what were the parameters of what an officer can look at.” The new policy notes that “a vehicle inventory may extend to all areas of the vehicle in which personal property or hazardous materials may reasonably be found, including but not limited to the passenger compartment, trunk and glove compartment.” However, it makes clear to officers that “examination of the contents of a motor vehicle pursuant to a criminal investigation or with the intent of discovering evidence of a crime is a search, not an administrative inventory.” Generally, Guiton said, officers will go through any open and/or unlocked areas where personal valuables may commonly be unsecured. Locked containers will not be opened, and locked cars will only be inspected through the windows. This led the council to broach the topic of trailers, specifically those for cars or motorcycles as is often seen during shoulder season events in the resort. As of this fall, trailer parking is now banned on Baltimore Avenue, and as of this coming spring, trailers will
not be able to be parked on public streets without a permit from the event organizer, such as BikeFest or Cruisin’. If violating trailers are towed, there is concern about damaging the vehicle inside, and incurring liability. “It depends on whether we were found negligent,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “If we’re operating in a governmental capacity, moving a vehicle that was clearly obstructing a public way, then we can claim immunity.” On the other hand, opening trailers in order to make sure vehicles won’t shift when towed, while seemingly innocuous, would likely not meet the definition of exigent circumstances for search and seizure, Ayres said. “If you believe the trailer may contain contraband, my recommendation would be to get a warrant,” he said. The new policy also gives officers the ability to tow vehicles identified a scofflaws — meaning those that have three or more overdue unpaid tickets without having requested a court hearing. The scofflaw definition was added to the city’s books several years ago, specifically to address out-of-state visitors who would otherwise simply ignore parking and traffic tickets.

Downfall: Pacific operation planned but never executed By Hon. George A. Jones Jr. Contributing Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) In May 1943, a memo from the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, “The United Nations’ war objective is unconditional surrender of the Axis Powers.’’ How to execute this goal was the pressing question. Inter-service rivalry raised its divisive head at this critical time. The Navy pushed a blockade to starve Japanese resistance to bring the war to an end. Army Air Forces preached traditional air power doctrine of mass bombardment. The establishment ground army believed that an infantry assault of the Japanese homeland was inescapable. All of these strategies would result in unheard of death and destruction of friend and foe. The Battle of Okinawa cost the death of 110,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 12,000 deaths of U.S. troops as well as 52,000 missing or wounded and large materiel loss. Japanese civilians incurred 100,000 dead and injured. Even the little known battle for the U.S. island of Attu in the Aleutions required 20,000 American troops to defeat 2,000 Japanese soldiers. The above enabled a Japanese colonel to tell POW Gen. Jonathon M. Wainwright IV that, “you have no chance of beating the Japanese. There are 100 million people in the Japanese Empire and it would take 10 x 100 million to defeat Japan.” While a simplistic boast, it carried a grain of truth that became a boulder of concern for U.S. military and political policy makers. Gen. George C. Marshall realized that the American public’s enthusiasm for unconditional surrender would wane before Japanese defeat would be achieved by naval blockade and mass air bombing. He was also concerned that the above strategies would result in mass death of Japanese civilians. Thus the competing plans were combined and given the code name “Downfall.” Gen. Curtis LeMay, under the overall command of Gen. Carl Spaatz, commanded Army Air Forces that would participate in Downfall. Gen. LeMay abandoned precision bombing tactics for the more devastating, low-level, unending, nighttime, bombing attacks of Japanese population centers. The overall commanders of Downfall were as follows: General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, who supported the invasion of Japan: Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who had reservations concerning the invasion; Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, who vehemently opposed the proposed invasion as sheer folly; and finally Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, who believed an invasion of the Japanese homeland was the only way to end
the war in the Pacific. Bombardment and blockade preceded the planning for the invasion of Japan. Part one of Downfall, Operation Olympic, called for the assault against the southern island of Kyushu. The final phase, Coronet, would be the coup de grâce aimed at the island of Honshu. Gen. MacArthur was commander in chief of invasion forces designated for Olympic. The newly conquered island, Okinawa, was to serve as the staging area for the invasion and seizure of the southern part of Kyushu, which would in turn act as a staging area for Coronet. X-Day was

scheduled for 1 Nov. 1945. The Allied naval armada was composed of 42 aircraft carriers, 24 battleships, and 400 destroyers. It would be the largest fleet ever assembled. Land forces were made up of 14 U.S. divisions that were already in theater. The 6th Army, Gen. Walter Krueger commanding, would serve as the sharp point of the assault. It would invade three points of Kyushu: Miyazaki, Ariake, and Kushikino. Once secured, Kyushu would support 720,000 troops and airfields capable of handling 2,800 aircraft. By 1 March 1946, phase one would be complete and the main invasion of See BLOODY Page 26

WORLD WAR II: WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
Bloody invasion envisioned, never executed Continued from Page 24 the Kanto Plain on the island of Honshu would take place. Before the invasion, there was to be 180 days of naval and air bombardment in and around the Tokyo Bay region. In addition to conventional weapons, the U.S. was developing guided missiles to strike Honshu. Gen. Marshall envisioned the use of nine A-bombs in the tactical role to support the ground invasion. There would be three A-bombs per landing area. It was then assumed that radiation would dissipate more quickly. On Y-Day, 1st Army, under Gen. Courtney Hodges, would land on the Kuyukure-Homa shore, south of Katiki, and split into three groups. One would push 50 miles across the plain, east of Tokyo, while the second
prong would move SW and seize the eastern shore of Tokyo Bay and the third element would drive north to take the month of the Tone River. The 8th Army, under Gen. Robert Eichelberger, would seize the beaches southwest of Tokyo Bay and complete the encirclement of Tokyo. The 8th Army contained 10 infantry divisions, the 86th, Black Hawk division, being one of them. The 8th Army would be composed of divisions that saw action in Europe. Coronet with its 25 divisions was larger than Olympic. Over a half-million troops would clash with Japanese forces protecting their homeland, a homeland that had not surrendered to a foreign power for 2,600 years. The Allied juggernaut would be met by a fanatic, fatalistic, fighting nation in arms.
Despite the overwhelming Allied forces, U.S. commanders were gravely concerned about Japanese plans, abilities and will to meet them and exact tremendous casualties and material damage. The invasion areas were determined by geography. Thus the Japanese knew where the U.S. would attack and devised their defensive plan, Operation Ketsugo (Decisive), accordingly. The Japanese defense placed great emphasis on kamikaze air and naval attacks. Most aircraft – bombers to trainers (approximately 10,000 planes) – would be redeployed for kamikaze attacks. While the Imperial Japanese Navy had ceased to exist as a viable fighting fleet, it still had at its disposal: six aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers, one battleship, and

numerous smaller warships, DTs, and subs. To augment the conventional warships, the IJN had approximately 100 Koryu class midget subs, 400 Kaiten manned torpedoes and 800 Shimyo suicide boats. The kamikaze forces would be under the command of Adm. Matome Ugaki. Japanese ground forces consisted of more than 65 divisions. Their defensive strategy called for a majority of their infantry divisions to set up positions a few miles from the invasion areas. Other army elements would be positioned further back to act as a mobile defense. The last element, known as the Patriot Citizens Fighting Corps, contained all healthy men ages 15-60 years and women age 17- 41 years, totaling 28 million people. They would be used mainly for combat support, but as a last resort, used as cannon fodder. They had little training and were mostly unarmed. While their numbers looked imposing, the reality revealed a hollow force with limited field supplies and ammunition. Still, great death and destruction could come from their hordes. The geography worked in the Japanese favor by limiting the U.S. ability to maneuver its armies. Kamikaze attacks would bring great destruction to men and ships. The Japanese objective was to make the butcher bill so high that a negotiated peace would ensue. The above is a broad outline of what the belligerent powers in the Pacific hoped to accomplish. A great what if! Our imagination can fill in the myriad shades of the outline. How would this Pacific Iliad have affected the present? You might recall that I mentioned the 86th Infantry Division. My father, George A. Jones, joined the 86th as it transferred from Europe to the Pacific. He was a 19year-old tech sergeant in an HQ Company. He was a replacement. For me, the big what if is whether would I be sitting here in Chatham, Va., writing this article, on this hot September evening in the year 2015? Luckily for him and me, on 6 August 1945, a B-29, named Enola Gay, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. On 9 August, 1945 another B-29, Bock’s Car, dropped a second Abomb on Nagasaki, resulting in Japan’s unconditional surrender on 14 August 1945. An entire generation of American and Japanese were saved by these bombings, and we will forever wonder what might have been...

Perfect season for Lady Mallards Worcester Prep girls’ soccer squad wins ESIAC crown; ends year with 11-0 record
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team capped a perfect season with a 4-0 victory over the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game last Friday in Berlin. “We had a pep talk before the game and our team got really pumped up. I think that helped a lot,” said senior captain Grace Tunis. “It’s awesome. I’ve never felt this happy on a sports team before. We’ve been waiting for so long for this.” Freshman Delaney Abercrombie dribbled the ball down the right sideline about three minutes before halftime and crossed it to senior captain Julia D’Antonio who scored to give Worcester a 1-0 lead. “We cleaned it up a lot once we got our first goal because we were definitely nervous,” D’Antonio said. During the break, Prep Coach Carol Hartnett told the girls, “This is not how we play soccer. We play pretty soccer and this has not been pretty. We have to clean it up, we have to spread the field and we’ve just got to run them.” Hartnett said it took the Lady Mallards a little time to get settled in, but
once they did, the team controlled the game. “We didn’t have a great first half, but we had a tremendous second half,” Hartnett said. “We just needed one to break the ice. Once the ice was broken they felt a little looser.” D’Antonio scored her second goal less than two minutes into the second half. Abercrombie increased Worcester’s advantage to three two minutes later. Junior Karlie Southcomb was too fast for the Saints Peter & Paul defense. She outran two Sabres and took the ball to the goal, providing the squad with a 4-0 lead about two minutes after Abercrombie’s goal. Saints Peter & Paul had an opportunity to put a point on the board when they were awarded a penalty kick with 28 minutes remaining in the game, but freshman Worcester goalie Gracie Gardner stopped the shot. She finished the game with 13 saves. “I was really nervous because I didn’t want to let my team down by letting in a goal. Once a goal was scored, I think everyone settled down,” Gardner said. Freshman Julia Godwin took over in the goal with about nine minutes left in the game and wasn’t challenged. When the game was over, the Mallards sprinted to the middle of the field, hugged and celebrated their win over the Sabres. “It’s really exciting because I’ve
never been on a championship-winning team,” D’Antonio said. “My sister did it when she was a sophomore and she’s a few years older than me and I got to watch that happen … Saints Peter & Paul won it the past five years. We’ve always gone neckand-neck with them. They’re definitely our rivals.” “These girls earned it. They have been working and working,” Hartnett said. “This was a decisive win. One we can be proud of.” During the regular season, Worcester shut out the Sabres 2-0 and 7-0. Worcester won 11 games in their undefeated season. The Mallards scored 61 goals and only allowed one. “This season went really awesome overall,” D’Antonio said. “We all grew as a team and we grew as individuals and as soccer players.” “The whole team played awesome all season,” Tunis added. “We worked hard at every practice so I think we deserve it.” Several players received All-Conference recognition. D’Antonio, Gardner, juniors Olivia and Madison Bescak and Julie Talbert were presented with ESIAC First Team honors. Madison Bescak was also named Player of the Year. She admitted that she was surprised and excited because she said it is such a tremendous honor. Receiving the award is also very humbling, she said. See M. Page 34
Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team ESIAC champions
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) After the Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team lost 3-1 to the Salisbury Christian Jaguars last year in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship, the Mallards vowed to win the title in 2015. The Prep team accomplished its mission by shutting out Salisbury Christian 1-0 last Friday in Berlin. “I’m so happy for them, especially for the seniors, because it was heartbreaking for them last year,” said Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler. “As they came off the field last year they said ‘we are going to win this on our field next year.’ They were determined to not lose and they played that way.” It only took one goal for the Mallards to capture the crown on their field last Friday. Junior captain Patrick Petrera netted Worcester’s lone goal about four minutes before halftime. “It was a really good run, dribbling down by Tate [Shockley] and he played me through. All I really had to do was finish,” Petrera said. “I wanted to put it to the bottom right corner and I definitely didn’t hit it as well as I would have liked, but it went in and that’s all that really matters … we beat the team we lost to last year so it’s kind of redemption.” Worcester’s defense was solid in the second half and didn’t let Salisbury, or See WOR Page 34

M. Bescak ESIAC Player of the Year Continued from Page 33 “I never really thought that people looked at me in that way. I was also very surprised to receive the honor as a junior,â€? said Bescak, who led the team with 10 goals and six assists. “I could not have received this honor without my amazing team ‌ My team and coaches pushed me to work hard every day. I share this award with my team, because honestly, we were the team of the year in the ESIAC.â€? Second Team accolades went to
junior Maggie Coutu and Abercrombie. Hartnett said the Mallards worked hard all season and they deserved to win the ESIAC trophy. “No one ever imagined [going undefeated]. That’s what makes it extra special,� she said. “We just went along through our season and it sort of happened.� The five seniors – Tunis, D’Antonio and Regan Shanahan, who are team captains, Tori Barros and Laura
Issel – were contributors in many ways. “The season has to be dedicated to these phenomenal seniors,� Hartnett said. “This group of five girls has led our team. They have served as role models, but mostly they’ve been everyone’s friend.� “We won every game and only had one goal scored against us. That’s pretty amazing,� Gardner added. “I’m excited for next year. The seniors this year set a really good example.�
Decatur ‘moving in right direction’
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team received a firstround bye and the No. 2 seed in Section II of the 3A East Regional tournament as competition begins today. Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood admitted he was a bit surprised the Seahawks earned the second seed because of their 6-5-1 record. “We’ve got some banged up bodies. When we play it will be two weeks since the last game,� Greenwood said Monday. “Kent Island was a rough
one. It’s nice to have a two-week break and a chance to recover.� The team will host the winner of today’s first-round match between No. 3 Atholton and No. 6 Northeast High School of Anne Arundel, on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. “We can’t underestimate them. We can’t take anyone lightly,� Greenwood said. “I’m looking forward to playing at home.� On the other side of the Section II bracket, top-seeded James M. Bennett will take on the winner of today’s match between No. 4 Chesapeake of Anne Arun-
del and No. 5 Hammond, this Tuesday. If Decatur can earn a victory in its second-round game, Greenwood said he would love a rematch with Bennett. “We’ve got to get over hurdle No. 1 first,� he said. “It’s more about what the desire is of the players. Hopefully they rise to the occasion.� When the two teams met on Oct. 12 in Berlin, Bennett topped Decatur 3-1. “We’ve come a long way since then,� Greenwood said. “I’m excited. We’re definitely moving in the right direction. They’re growing and doing things better than we did in the past.�
Continued from Page 33 the team’s leader, ESIAC Player of the Year, Ryan Spadin, have any quality scoring opportunities. “I thought they played great, especially on defense. This is probably our best defensive effort collectively of the season,� Underkoffler said. “We really got behind the ball, we picked up for each other, challenged every air ball and won most of them. But the most important statistic of all was taking away Ryan Spadin. He had no shots.� As time expired, senior goalie Charlie Pritchard sprinted to the midfield line and dropped to his knees. The rest of the Mallards joined him in a pile to celebrate the victory. “I can’t even describe it, I’m so excited,� Pritchard said. “It’s amazing. It’s a great feeling.� He stopped five Salisbury Christian shots during the game and joked that “the [Worcester] offense could have put in a couple more goals to ease the pressure a little bit.� “It’s a great way to finish,� he said. “I wanted to go out on top and my team came through for me big time.� Worcester finished the 2015 season with a 12-3-1 record (11-0-1 ESIAC). “It was one of the most fun seasons I’ve had as a coach. They’re a great group of guys,� Underkoffler said. Eight Mallards received All-ESIAC awards. Junior Owen Nally and senior Wyatt Richins, both captains, and junior Brendan Miller were named to the First Team. Petrera, Pritchard, junior Seth Lewis and senior Ross Dickerson earned Second Team honors. Nally and Petrera led the team with 12 goals apiece. “It was the best season I’ve ever had, hands down,� Pritchard said. His four years competing for Worcester have “been a blast,� he said. “I’ve made a lot of bonds. It’s been an honor to play for this school,� he said. Shockley, a junior, was presented with Honorable Mention accolades. Despite losing 10 players to graduation, Underkoffler is confident the team will be solid next season. “We have so many coming back and so many guys that played significant minutes in all the games,� he said.

Wor. Prep golf team wins ninth ESIAC crown Coach Dailey: We played really great. I was happy with their performance
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) The Worcester Prep golf team captured its ninth consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title last Tuesday on its home course at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin. “We played really great. I was
happy with their performance,” Prep Coach Scot Dailey said. Senior captain Jason Cook led the Mallards, shooting a 40. He earned co-medalist honors with Salisbury Christian’s Ryan Hannigan. “This was the fourth time we have won the ESIAC title since I was on the team. This year was the most exciting because it was my final year,” Cook said. “Personally, the season was far better than I could’ve asked for. Watching my teammates push each other to lower their scores and reach personal bests was even better than
my individual results.” Also contributing to the win were senior captain John Meakin and junior Zach Wilson, who each shot 42s, and sophomore Austin Taylor, who carded a 43. Worcester tallied a total of 167. Salisbury Christian finished in second place with a 182 and Salisbury School took third with a 216. Several Worcester players received ESIAC First-Team accolades. Cook was presented First Team honors for the fourth consecutive year. “My fours years on the WPS golf
team were the source of my best memories from high school. I made many friends that I probably wouldn’t have met any other way,” he said. “It was great to play for Coach [Kevin] Gates for two years and now for Coach Dailey. They are responsible for how I play the game and how I interact with people and I appreciate everything they’ve done.” This was the third year Meakin has earned First Team honors. “Jason Cook and I lead the way with our consistently low scores … See JASON Page 36

Jason Cook ESIAC Player of the Year for 2014 and ‘15 Continued from Page 35 For me personally, I was pleased with my 39.6 nine-hole season average, however there is always room for improvement,” Meakin said. “I had a very positive experience as a member of the WPS golf team … I helped mentor the younger players and helped them improve their swings as well as the other integral parts of the game.” During their four-year careers, Cook and Meakin have won four ESIAC titles. The pair also never lost a conference match. “Playing golf at WPS has improved my self-confidence, leadership skills and has helped me realize the importance of having integrity,” Meakin said. “Hopefully, I have passed these same traits down to the players that I have come in contact with during the past four years.” Taylor, Wilson and junior Grant Brown also earned First Team distinctions. Cook was presented with the most prestigious recognition of the season — the Player of the Year award. He was also Player of the Year in 2014. Cook took home medalist honors in six of seven matches this year. “It was a huge honor and meant a

great deal to me for winning Player of the Year for two years in a row. Earning six medalists honors this year was very special to me,” he said. “I spend many hours during the summer and in the season practicing for our matches and to have it all come together and play that well was
very rewarding.” Worcester went undefeated 6-0 in the ESIAC. The Mallards finished the season with a 20-3-1 record. “It was an awesome season. All of the kids improved,” Dailey said. “It was fun to watch the kids get better.” The team will lost three players –
Cook, Meakin and Bennett Truitt – to graduation. “We’ll have some big holes to fill. We need players to step up their game to have a chance to win again,” Dailey said. “The competition will be stronger next year. Everyone in the conference is getting better.”
Wor. Prep field hockey team falls to Holly Grove in strokes
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) After upsetting the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres 4-2 in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference semifinals last Thursday in Easton, the Worcester Prep field hockey team then battled the undefeated Holly Grove Eagles into overtime during the finals the next day in Westover. “I felt like we dominated a lot of the game,” Prep Coach Katie Oxenreider said about the ESIAC championship. “They have a very good defense and keeper so they were able to keep it out.” Junior Ava Schwartz scored for Worcester with about 10 minutes left in the game. Just seconds away from a Prep victory, Holly Grove tied it with about nine seconds on the clock to force overtime. After two 10-minute overtime periods, the score was still tied 1-1, so the teams prepared for a shootout. Holly Grove scored three of its strokes while only senior captain Hanna Nechay netted one for Worcester. Prep sophomore goalie Grace Nichols finished the game with eight saves. “It was a great game for the girls to finish out their season. I really think
they dominated that game, we just didn’t come up with the ‘W,’” Oxenreider said. “They worked so hard to get there after losing to the top-seeded teams twice during regular-season play. I am so proud of how much they improved this season.” The Lady Mallards advanced to the ESIAC championship after a 4-2 victory over the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres on Oct. 22. “They were very fired up and ready to play. They actually scored on us first so instead of getting down on themselves they used it as fire to score on them,” Oxenreider said. The Sabres got ahead 1-0 with 13 minutes left in the first half. About a minute later, junior Regan Lingo scored off a pass from senior captain Isabel Carulli. She gave Worcester the go-ahead goal 30 seconds later. Junior Leigh Lingo netted a Carulli pass to boost the Mallards’ advantage to 3-1. Regan Lingo put the Berlin squad on top 4-1 three minutes before halftime. Saints Peter & Paul scored its second goal 11 minutes into the second half. Nichols stopped 10 Sabres’ shots. “We’ve been working on scoring at the post a lot in practice and Regan and Leigh were both able to knock them in on there and it was awesome,” See IT Page 37

‘It was great to see that drive in them,’ coach says Continued from Page 36 Oxenreider said. “They were really coming at us the second half and we played tough defense. The whole team played as a unit from the goalie to forwards. It’s awesome to see how far they’ve come this season.” Worcester finished the season with a 5-8 record. In her first year as head coach, Oxenreider thought the season went well overall. “We struggled in the beginning starting out with such a tough schedule. Playing top teams in the area I think left them feeling a little down and defeated,” Oxenreider said. “They could have just coasted to finish out the season when they lost the two important conference games at the end, but they really got themselves together and practiced hard to win the semis. It was great to see that drive in them and the semifinal and final game was incredible to see all that hard work come out.” Oxenreider said she enjoyed coaching the girls and helping them see their potential as field hockey players and as young leaders. “The season didn’t start probably how they wanted, but they really showed each other that they all had each other’s backs,” she said. “I think that was awesome to stand back and see as a coach and realize that it’s not always about your win-loss record. The way they lifted each other up was awesome.” Several Mallards were presented with ESIAC awards. Nechay, Carulli and Regan Lingo received First Team accolades. Leigh Lingo, senior captain Hannah Arrington and junior Kathleen Emche were named to the Second Team. Junior Eva Parks earned Honorable Mention. The team will only lose three players to graduation, but those girls – Carulli, Arrington and Nechay – were starters, major contributors and team captains. “Hanna Nechay was our leading scorer with 11 goals and six assists, so she will be missed. Isabel was the core of our team at center mid and we could always count on her defense and hard shots on corners,” Oxenreider said. “Hannah Arrington was the backbone to our defense and has had a lot of experience at her position. All three rarely came out of the game.” Despite losing three major contributors, Oxenreider thinks the team will be strong in 2016. “Three seniors started, five juniors, one sophomore (goalie) and two freshmen,” she said. “We have a strong junior class where most have started since their sophomore year. Two freshmen (forward Hailee Arrington and midfielder Mia Carulli) started and barely ever came off the field. It was fun to see this younger group really step up and learn from the older girls and I’m excited to see how they play next year.”

Donoway pleased with how much girls improved in ‘15 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) Despite only winning one match this season, Worcester Prep volleyball Coach Keith Donoway saw many positives. “Overall, I am happy with how our season went. Even though we did not have an impressive record, I am pleased with the amount of improvement they have shown,” Donoway said. “The athletes were a fun and dynamic group to work with. I enjoyed working with them and I look forward to working with the underclassmen again next year.” When the head coach position became available, Donoway was excited to step in to lead the volleyball program, which was formed only five
years ago. The Lady Mallards made it easy for him as a first-year coach. “It was fun for me to coach this group, mainly because of all of their great, but different, personalities. All of them were also very coachable,” he said. “They would listen to individual instruction and work hard to follow them.” The team will lose its three senior captains – Erika Smith, Madison Doody and Bridget Brown – to graduation, but Donoway said a number of players plan to return to the court in 2016. “This year we had a relatively young varsity team. We will have several returning players that will help improve our program even more next year,” Donoway said.

We just need to fine-tune a little bit,” she said last week. The Seahawks ended the regular season with a 10-2 record. Decatur was awarded a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed in Section II of the 3A East Regional tournament. “We’re happy [with the seeding]. It’s nice to have a bye in the first round and to have home-field advantage,” Berke said. “It’s nice to have a few home games.” Decatur will host the winner of today’s game between No. 4 Northeast and No. 5 Chesapeake, both of Anne Arundel, on Tuesday. The game will either begin at 4:30 or 5 p.m. The final time had not been determined at press time. The Seahawks’ last competition was on Oct. 21 and they don’t play again until Nov. 3. So much time between matches can be a disadvantage, Berke said, which is why they are focusing on gameplay during practice. On the other side of the Section II bracket, No. 2 Oxon Hill and No. 3 James M. Bennett both received firstround byes. They will go head-to-head on Tuesday. If Decatur can come away with a victory, the Seahawks will face the winner of the Oxon Hill–Bennett game on Friday, Nov. 6 in Berlin. To be successful in the regional tournament, Berke said the Seahawks need to compete at their peak and “play at our strongest level.”

Decatur football team hosts J.M. Bennett on Senior Night By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) The score of the Parkside/Stephen Decatur football game was set at 27-14 at halftime last Saturday in Salisbury, and there it remained for the second half as neither offense was able to pierce the defense. “In the first half we played like we were not concerned. It seemed like we were distracted,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. “The second half we played pretty good. It was a 0-0 tie in the second half and we were the only ones who threatened. We just didn’t execute.” Parkside jumped ahead 21-0 in the first half. Decatur junior quarterback Darion McKenzie cut the lead, but the home team answered. Just before the half, McKenzie ran the ball into the end zone
from 28 yards out. He rushed 14 times during the game, racking up 96 yards. Senior captain Ernest Shockley led the Decatur defense with 15 tackles in the loss. Jimmy Englishmen, a senior, made 11 tackles and had one sack. Senior captain Gus Esham recorded nine tackles and two sacks. Junior John Curtis tallied eight tackles. Seven Seahawks are hampered by injury, but the biggest problem, Knox said, is that five of those athletes are running backs — a key position. Decatur’s (3-5) final home game of the regular season is tonight, Friday, at 6 p.m. against James M. Bennett (5-3). The Decatur seniors will be honored before the competition. To come away with a victory, Knox said, “we have to do what we haven’t done since week one. We have to be physical, be disciplined and play every play to the whistle.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 30, 2015) Stephen Decatur golfers Matt Kristick and Tanner Leonard performed well enough during the 3A/4A state semifinals at the University of Maryland Tuesday to advance to the championship round, Monday. “They played extremely well. In fact, it was the best round of the season for both of them,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “It’s a great thing in golf when you peak at the right time. Coach [Don] Furbay and I had the opportunity to follow both boys throughout the day and are very proud of how they performed.” This is Kristick’s third year qualifying for the state competition. Captain of the Decatur team, Kristick shot a 76 during the semifinal round. The junior was pleased with his performance. “I played fairly well leaving me in 20th place after the first day,” he said. Leonard carded a 79. Making his state tournament debut, he said he was very happy with his performance. “I achieved a personal goal of mine coming into the year to play both days at states,” the junior said. “The competition at the state tournament was right around what I expected. It was a great experience that I feel I handled relatively well. I didn’t feel nervous at any point in my round. I was really excited to compete in the state tournament this year.” The 3A/4A schools had their semifinal round on Monday and the 1A/2A schools took to the course on Tuesday. Some 3A/4A golfers – including Kristick and Leonard – who were participating in the tournament as individuals and not as a team, played on Tuesday. Decatur came up short by three strokes of qualifying for states as a team, shooting a 335 during the Oct. 15 District VIII match in Cambridge. Kristick and Leonard advanced to states
BANK RECOGNIZES MVP
The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the Stephen Decatur High School football team and following each game, a most valuable player is chosen. As part of its annual $500 pledge, the bank makes a donation to the Stephen Decatur High School Athletic Boosters in that player’s name. Week 8 winner is senior Jimmy Englishmen. During last Saturday's game against Parkside in Salisbury, Englishmen made 11 tackles and had one sack. On hand for the recent presentation, from left, are Earl Conley of the Bank of Ocean City, Englishmen and Coach Bob Knox.
because of their individual scores. Teams and individual golfers who qualified for the state final round were originally scheduled to compete on Wednesday, but because of rain, the finals were moved to Monday, Nov. 2. Kristick and Leonard have different feelings about the new date of the championship round. “If anything, I think it makes it easier for me to improve upon my game,” Leonard said. “The extra time allows me to remove some of the hiccups in my game right now.” Kristick, on the other hand, said, “I think it’s going to be more difficult playing Monday than having to play the day
after [semifinals]. We now have to drive up again, stay overnight and drive back the next day, adding a lot of extra time.” “By playing the day after, we would be able to carry the momentum over to the next day,” he added. Kristick’s goal is to place in the top 10. “In order to do that, I’m going to need to play like I did Tuesday as well as having a couple good breaks that I didn’t receive the first day,” he said. “If I do so, I’ll be very pleased.” Leonard hopes to finish in the top 25. “To accomplish this, I need to keep my game as sharp as possible, practice and play to my strengths in the final round,” he said.

Decatur won the first two games 26-24 and 25-23, but lost the next three, 13-25, 9-25, 6-15. "They played really well the first two games. It went slowly down hill from there," Decatur Coach Sara Patrick said. "The team allowed little mistakes to get in their heads. They never got their momentum or rhythm back."

“During wintertime or when it’s raining there is not much for kids to do outside of the touristy attractions.” The Taghipours have owned Powerhouse Gyms in the area for decades and saw an opportunity to improve children’s’ fitness by creating Beach Bounce within walking distance to their other fitness centers. “We decided to respond to the needs
of the community,” Tony Taghipour said. “People have wanted something like this in the community for a while and no one has fitness equipment designed for kids.” The venue is offering 20 percent off all pricing as a grand opening special, but spaces are booking up fast. “Take advantage.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Earlier this fall, the town of Snow Hill was the site for a pilot program called WholeHomes. The initiative of the program is to present the many options available for homeowners to make home improvements through loans and grants offered through the state. It was discovered that people in smaller jurisdictions throughout the state of Maryland were not aware of the programs available, so the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) took the show on the road. The umbrella name of “WholeHomes” is tied to the Be SMART Home Loan Program through the DHCD. This loan program offers innovative financing to improve home energy efficiency through replacement and upgrading of appliances, heating, cooling and ventilation systems and whole house envelope improvements across the state. These changes are intended to save the homeowner money, increase the safety and comfort of the home, and add value to the home. Participants in the Be SMART Home program must be Maryland homeowners who want to make energy efficient improvements to their primary residence and who meet the income standards including a credit score of 640 or greater and a debtto-income ratio of up to 50 percent. Up to $25,000 in financing is available for eligible homeowners. Requests for financing will be processed on a first come, first served basis, so prompt and timely submittals are encouraged. Unsecured loans provided through the Be SMART Home Complete program may be used for weatherization and whole home envelope improvements, as well as for replacement and upgrading of energy star rated appliances and home heating or cooling systems. Loans are offered at an interest rate of 4.99 percent. Work must be done by a contractor from the Be SMART Home Complete eligible contractors list. Typical energy savings are in the See PROGRAM Page 40

cate meighan Are you guys ready for Halloween? Or are you like me and still need to put together that costume at the very last minute? Or better yet, did you get your kid a costume that he or she had to have and, somewhere between the point of purchase and now, they’ve decided that it’s a really bad idea? The ridiculously priced option no longer “fits right,” so my daughter now seems to agree that buying a $3 bag of stuffing and spray painting it pink to turn herself into cotton candy is a really great idea after all. Under 10 bucks at WalMart versus driving 23 miles to drop $40 on something she won’t wear and then driving another 23 miles to return it. So that’s my life. Luckily, there is a whole lot of fun happening for indecisive kids like mine (and probably yours too) on Halloween this coming Saturday. Planet Maze on 33rd Street and Coastal Highway is offering some free fun on Saturday, Oct. 31. Kids ages 2 through 10 can play in the climbing maze free from 2-8 p.m. in honor of the Great Pumpkin. If you’re looking for a night of Halloween fun with your kids, you’ll want to head on over to Berlin on Saturday, Oct. 31 for its annual town Trick-or-Treating event from 5-8 p.m. While this historic town always finds a way to stay busy, Halloween might just be the most jam-packed night of the year!

Annual Wine on the Beach Festival today, Sat. in OC
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Wine lovers will flock to the Ocean City inlet parking lot this weekend for the 20th annual Wine on the Beach Festival, taking place today and tomorrow, Oct 30-31, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. “This festival offers the opportunity to experience the wines of the Mid-Atlantic, the food of Delmarva, and some well-loved regional entertainers,” said Christina Nokes, event coordinator. “It is the kind of event that is enjoyed by yourself or with a group of friends.” The festival was original scheduled to take place Oct. 2-3, but it was postponed because of a nor’easter and the threat of Hurricane Joaquin. More than 20 wineries from six states on the East Coast are slated to attend this weekend’s event along with five craft breweries including Devils Back Bone, Third Wave and Fat Tire. There will be more than 20 arts and crafts vendors, and Bird Dog & the Road Kings will perform each day from 4-7 p.m. The Pat O’Brennan Trio kicks off the live musical entertainment at the festival on Friday from 12:30-3:30 p.m. and 3 Penny Opera will rock out on Saturday from 12:30-3:30 p.m. “Some people make it an annual event or vintage reunion,” Nokes said. “It’s one of those events you put on your calendar and talk about months in advance.” The cost is $35 to participate with a valid ID, which includes one-day admission, a commemorative wine glass and unlimited tastings from various wineries. “You may purchase wines by the glass, bottle or case to drink at the event or take home.

enjoy uncorking a bottle to go with the wonderful Delmarva food sold at the festival,” Nokes said. In addition, festivalgoers can purchase a wine glass lavalier that allows for a hands-free experience while browsing from booth to booth, she said. Pretzelphoria, Save The Coconuts and A Reason to Wine are a few of the vendors who will be at the wine festival this weekend. More than 7,000 people came out last year to enjoy wine and Ocean City during a time of year when it’s less crowded and the weather is still warm, she added. “We love being part of a tradition,” Nokes said. “After 20 years, we feel like we’ve joined the salt water taffy and caramel popcorn as an Ocean City classic.” For a full list of vendors, wineries and breweries, visit www.winefest.com. Everyone younger than 21 must be accompanied by an adult. Children ages 13-20 get in for $15 and youth 12 and under are admitted free. Designated drivers will pay $35 and receive unlimited soft drinks.

Church starting up Grace Parker breakfasts again
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) On the first Wednesday of next month, Nov. 4, the First Presbyterian Church will start offering its Grace Parker all-you-can-eat breakfasts for the winter season from 7 a.m. to noon. Eggs any style, pancakes, buckwheat pancakes, bacon, Milton sausage, country ham, homemade biscuits, hash brown potatoes, grits, coffee, tea, milk, soda and orange juice is offered. “People are very faithful and have come for years and from all over,” Volunteer Donna Greenwood said. “They see people they know and it’s a once a month gathering for some.” Each breakfast, about 225 people dine-in and more than 100 carry-out orders are made throughout the morning of the first Wednesday of every month until March 4. 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. Preparation of the buckwheat’s, ham and sausage also gets started. On the morning of Nov. 4, 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. About 25 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. 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 bisSee PROCEEDS Page 48

Proceeds benefit missions, projects and scholarships Continued from Page 47 cuits, Greenwood said. Although the exact year could not be determined, the Grace Parker breakfasts started sometime between 1955 and 1960, when construction started on the new church. “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 member of the First Presbyterian Church, Pete Steger. For a while, breakfast at the church was a free will offering, a set price was started about 20 years ago, Greenwood said. The proceeds go toward projects, missions, scholarships and other special needs of the church such as new tables. “The funds raised go to community missions and we provide breakfast for international students every Wednesday during July and August,” said church member Mabel Rogers. In 1962, the First Presbyterian Church moved from North Division and Baltimore Ave. to 13th Street on North Philadelphia Avenue and its previous location was sold to the Baptist Church. 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. He promised the ladies of the church if they wanted to continue the breakfast tradition, he would take over cooking and ordering duties. “It’s such a wonderful congregation and they welcome people with open arms,” Donna Greenwood said. “The breakfast couldn’t be done without support of many people and it’s a team effort.” The cost is $8 and carry-out is available for $6.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) If there was a single message among the myriad of military families present at the Ocean City Elks Lodge on 137th Street this past Saturday, it was that a little recognition helps a soldier’s loved ones just as much as it helps the soldier. “It has been an amazing experience,” said Jeanne Blake, whose son Jeffrey Taylor is currently serving in the Coast Guard. “So many of my friends here have said ‘Jeanne, I was walking down the Boardwalk and looked up, and guess what I saw?’” Taylor was one of 20 active-duty service members from Worcester County honored this summer with a banner–displaying their name, rank and military headshot–hung on the Boardwalk light posts from the pier up to Fourth Street. The banner program is organized by the Ocean City Elks, Lodge 2645, and funded through private sponsorships. The Town of Ocean City provides the labor to do the actual mounting. “These banner recipients are the best our county can produce. They are our future, and they are our heroes,” said Elks 2645 Exalted Ruler Chris Graff. The banners went up in May, and hung throughout the summer. Last week, they were taken down for the winter and presented to the honorees, or their families. Most of the actual service members were across the county, or even overseas, on assignment. “A lot of our guests shared how great it is to see these banners and share the pride in what these young people want to do for our country,” said Brian David of the Lankford hotel, whose son Christopher is currently in the Marine Corps. For many of the parents present, the story was similar– a son or daughter who wasn’t sure what they wanted to do after high school, and who had limited options in an area where tourism is the sole dominant industry. “Sometimes you feel like there’s little in this area for young men and women to do, but he stepped up,” said Beth Miller, whose son Tyler is serving in the Navy. “The knowledge he’s gained and the experience of going so many places around the world, at this time in his life, is incredible.” “If you aren’t interested in a certain type of work, there’s not a lot for you around here,” echoed Charles Riser, father of Timothy Wilson, who is currently serving in the Navy. “When Tim found the Navy, his world opened up.” Riser also reflected on his own military service, at a time when military careers were not as well-recognized or even viewed with skepticism. “That whole thought toward the military has turned around, and it’s because of things like this [the Elks’ banner program] that show us what serving is all about,” Riser said. But even as life on the Eastern Shore See NOMINATE Page 49

WEEKEND IN OC Ronda Johnson served in the United States Army since 1989 and enjoyed her recent trip to Ocean City. She is pictured during the second annual Wounded Warriors Gala at the American Legion on 24th Street, Oct. 17. Johnson, 43, of Arlington, Va., joined the Army after graduating high school. Her injury has led to a sedentary lifestyle and she found herself battling depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. “Being around other wounded warriors and hearing their success stories made me feel hopeful. I can do this,” Johnson said. She has been to Ocean City with loved ones, but on this trip, Johnson was able to learn about the resort’s history and visit the Boardwalk and LifeSaving Station Museum. “My favorite part of the trip was learning about the history with the Coast Guard,” Johnson said. “Everyone made me feel comfortable, were looking out for me and it was the most stressfree trip.” KARA HALLISSEY/OCEAN CITY TODAY ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Continued from Page 48 may cause some young people to seek a far-traveling military career, local life also provides a close support network for those families left at home, where the community of veterans within the Elks and other groups is strong. “I enlisted in the Air Force 54 years ago today,” recalled Sarge Garlitz, commander of the Ocean City American Legion Post 166 and an Elks member. “I walked the Boardwalk for the first time in 1961 and decided this was
where I was going to go out to pasture. To our veterans, welcome home. You belong here, and we’re here for your families.” The Elks have already begun planning next year’s crop of military banners. “We have six out of the 20 service members identified and will be doing this again come next spring,” said Pat Riordan of the Elks’ Veterans Committee.

Cheerleaders host fundraiser for competition Berlin Pop Warner squad seeking donations to help with trip to regional event
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Berlin Pop Warner cheerleaders will host a fundraiser at Ocean City Brewing Company on 56th Street this Sunday afternoon. The team will be participating in the Eastern Regional competition on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J. and the event is a fundraiser for the trip. “Our hope is to advance to the national Pop Warner competition in Disney World, Dec. 7,” Head Coach Jessie Parsons said. “No one from the Berlin Seahawks have ever advanced to a national competition so we are trying our hardest.” The 16 junior peewee cheerleaders range in age from 8-12 years old and most of the girls have been cheering together for a number of years. “There are always additions since there are no tryouts and anyone who signs up gets to participate,” Parsons said. The girls began training for the competitions in August when they practiced four nights a week. Once school started, practices have been three days a week. In addition, the cheerleaders perform every Saturday for the Pop Warner football games. “It’s a lot of dedication from the little girls and parents,” Parsons said. “It’s been a lot of fun to see them grow and some have never done this before. What a great group of girls.” The cheerleaders have to come up with a two minute and 30 second routine consisting of cheer, dance, tumbling and stunts for the Eastern Regional competition in two weeks. They will be competing against Pop Warner teams from Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On Oct. 11, the squad came in first place during the Henlopen Conference and after a win at the regional competition, they will advance to the national championship at Walt Disney World’s Wide World of Sports on Dec. 7. Pop Warner cheerleaders are required to maintain acceptable grade point averages to participate in the non-profit organization’s programs. “Many of our girls were national scholars for Pop Warner last year,” Parsons said. “Five girls made first team for Pop Warner cheerleading and that’s amazing to be in the top 35 with 450,000 participants in the country.” The cheerleaders who received recognition maintained a 96 average and participated in a number of volunteer activities including girl scouts and Relay for Life, she said. “It was a neat group of wellrounded girls and an amazing year

Xtreme Brewing of Delaware debuts beers during festival Assawoman Bay, Backshore and 3rd Wave companies assist with brews for event
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Brewing supply company Xtreme Brewing debuted a pair of collaboratively designed beers during Saturday’s Shore Craft Beer Festival in Ocean City’s Sunset Park. The Delaware-based shop developed and brewed the unique concoctions with the help of Assawoman Bay Brewing Company and Backshore Brewing Company from Ocean City, as well as 3rd Wave Brewing Co. from Delmar, Del. Brewers from each company met at Assawoman headquarters, inside the 45th Street Village, on Sept. 21 to work together on the first steps of the beers, an autumn harvest made with beets, called “Beets Me,” and a breakfast porter dubbed “Stormy Morning.” During a four-hour demonstration, open to the public and sponsored by ShoreCraftBeer.com, the brewers started with two mash mixes of already crushed grains, which were added to pre-boiled water brought to about 152 degrees. An hour later the resulting worts were clarified, then added to separate
stainless steel pots and boiled for 60 minutes. During that process the brewers added hops to the mixes three times. Finally, the mixtures were rapidly chilled and transferred to glass carboys, where the brewers added the yeast, which essentially eats sugar in order to produce alcohol. Two weeks later, Assawoman brewmaster Jason Weissberg transferred the beers to kegs and added carbonation. During the festival, Doug Grifith from Xtreme Brewing poured samples of both brews. “I think they’re very good,” he said. “The Stormy Morning is very dark. It’s got the smoky characteristics with molasses in it and coffee malt, so it’s everything that you would think to have for breakfast.” The beer turned out so well, in fact, that Grifith said he planned to turn Stormy Morning into a brewing kit to sell in his shops, located in Lewes, Laurel and Millsboro, Del. He said the Beets Me was a red ale, colored by two pounds of added beets and based on a recipe he developed. “I wanted something that would have something from the ground during harvest season,” he said. Weissberg said he was also happy with the final product.
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Doug Grifith from Xtreme Brewing pours an autumn harvest and breakfast porter made specifically for last Saturday’s Shore Craft Beer Festival in Ocean City.
“They have really unique initial characteristics and specialty ingredients – the molasses in the porter really came through and the beets added a really great color to the autumn harvest beer,” he said. “The flavors are really, really nice for this time of year.” Early indications were that the Shore Craft Beer Festival was a success. If the festival returns next year, Weissberg said he would be interested in creating new specialty beers with his fellow brewmasters. “We never really got past this one, but it turned out well and the festival is off to a great start,” he said. “If we continue to do the festival I think it would be a great addition to the annual tradition.”
Shore Craft Beer Festival huge hit
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) The inaugural Shore Craft Beer Festival drew more than 500 people to sunny Sunset Park in downtown Ocean City last Saturday, instantly sparking discussion of making it an annual event. Representatives from 11 area breweries each poured multiple samples during the festival, presented by ShoreCraftBeer.com. See INAUGURAL Page 53

Habitat for Humanity celebrates 20th anniv.
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) In the picturesque setting of the centuries old St. Martin’s Church near Showell on Route 589, more than a hundred people gathered in masquerade masks, blacked-tied suits and flowing ball gowns during Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County’s 20th anniversary celebration on Friday. Habitat Vice President Lauren Bunting, addressing the crowd from a podium inside the church, called it a great fit to hold the event at the church, which she said has a similar mission and vision. “Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live,” she said. “Our mission is seeking to put God’s love into action. Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, community and hope.” Bunting said Habitat gives people a
“hand up – not a hand out.” The nonprofit has served an average of one family per year during the last two decades. “A lot of people think Habitat gives people homes and that’s not the case at all,” she said. “Habitat homeowners are just that – they’re homeowners.” Habitat clients have good credit, are employed and are required to attend homeownership education classes and complete 200 “sweat equity hours” helping to build the home in order to qualify, Bunting said. “How [a home] is made affordable for them is that Habitat gives them a no-interest loan, holds the note and we have a lot of donations in the construction of a home,” Bunting said. “That helps us keep the cost down.” Marking the 20th anniversary of Habitat during its third annual gala, Bunting said, made it a special night. “We’re very proud to announce that
Inaugural Shore Craft Beer Festival in OC well attended Continued from Page 52 “I’m so outrageously excited,” organizer Ann Hillyer said. “It just boomed. I’ve gone from being really nervous to being really excited to being really worried I would run out of glasses.” Hillyer said the town had already committed to holding the festival annually for the next five years. If it outgrows Sunset Park, she said, “We’ll move it to a bigger venue.” Mayor Rick Meehan, on hand during the event, also seemed pleased with the turnout. “It’s a beautiful day and the crowds just seem to keep coming, so I think it’s just going to be a great event and it’s a kickoff to other events such as this,” he said. “I think we’re going to watch this one grow. “Sunshine makes everything great, but I think this event could stand on its own,” he added. “The sunshine just makes it a little bit better.” Meehan said he agreed with the notion, which ShoreCraftBeer.com has worked hard to develop, that Ocean City can and should be a major craft beer destination in the Mid-Atlantic. “I think we have all the ingredients here to make this a very popular craft brewery type of destination,” he said. “If you look at the number of craft breweries around the Ocean City area it’s something we have a lot of and it’s something different, and it’s something that everybody is looking for.” Joya Mattie, from the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, sold commemorative T-shirts during the festival. From her perspective, the event was the beginning of a successful collaboration. “I’m happy that we partnered with Ann,” she said. “A lot of the breweries that are here are already chamber
members – Shore Craft is just a way that we were able to bring everyone together and promote each other. “We want [Ocean City] to become a craft beer destination,” she added. “This is what we have to do if we want this to happen, and I’m just happy to see so many chamber members here.” Burley Oak Brewmaster Bryan Brushmiller said he was already a fan of the event because of its proximity to his headquarters in nearby Berlin. “You can’t forget the girl that brought you to the dance,” he said. “This is what we love – local events and supporting our local economy, and just keeping everybody coming to Ocean City in October.” Newly appointed OceanCity.com editor Tony Russo, and author of the book “Eastern Shore Beer,” spoke about the history of brewing in the United States on a stage overlooking the bay. “One of the things that we’re working on is we’re encouraging more people to come and make the rounds in different [breweries] because it’s something that adds to a community that’s specific to a community,” he said. “There are lots of places that have beaches, [but] we have so much good beer here that people come just for the beer.” Russo said part of the increase in the popularity of craft beer in the region was directly due to the increase in the education of the people who pour it, from the bartenders who receive regular visits from the brewers themselves, to the brewery representatives who come out in person to pour samples during festivals. “People like to be involved,” he said. “We all just want to make a connection on some level, and this is one way that lets you connect with people.”
we were able to serve 20 families in 20 years,” she said, adding that area Habitat homes “stretched from Snow Hill to Whaleyville.” She credited Executive Director Andrea Bowland in particular for her hard work during the last three years, and called on the people in the crowd to volunteer as skilled laborers, board members or fundraisers. “We have a need for all of that,” she said. Bowland, speaking next, thanked the “behind the scenes” members of Habitat as well as the 25 sponsors, including headline sponsor PNC Bank, which made the evening possible. “Thank you for all of your supports,” she said. “We could not do this without everyone’s help.” During the past three years, she said, Habitat placed three families in new homes. She also touted Cannery Village, an affordable housing complex in Berlin, and said Habitat’s next major project was a mixed-use space for artists in Berlin. Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38) concluded the opening remarks and said those in attendance helped make “dreams come true.” “When you hear about how Habitat has served 20 families in 20 years, it’s you that have done it,” he said. “I’m ever, ever grateful for that. “The hope that you give folks every day … I’m grateful,” Mathias added.
“This is really what it’s all about – a better tomorrow, hope and making dreams come true.” Delaware native Nadjah Nicole, a contestant on NBC’s “The Voice” headlined the entertainment lineup and said she was more than happy to return after performing at the Habitat gala last year. Playing with a five-piece band, she fronted a nearly hour-long set of classic rhythm and blues. “I love it,” she said. “It feels good that people want to hear me, and when they have a good time it feels even better.” Summing up the evening, Bowland said she was thrilled with the entire experience. “I think the turnout was fabulous and everybody had a wonderful time,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to be able to utilize the church, and with the special [opening] reception and all the performances – we’re very happy with how everything turned out.” The best way for those who could not attend to help the nonprofit, she said, is by going to the Habitat for Humanity Worcester County website, www.habitatworcester.org, by emailing inquire@habitatworcester.org, or through Facebook. “We are always looking for volunteers in various capacities,” she said. “We need board members, committee members and volunteers in general. We would welcome the support.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Cheese main sandwich ingredient By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 30, 2015) Every day is a wondrous opportunity for discovery if one is willing to walk the path of chance. Variation and uncertainty are expected, but they shall soon blend to a sense of direction. Clarity leads me to a state of reality; perseverance beckons my every step of the way. The sun’s illuminating rays stimulates the silhouette of progression. Seasons shift and so must the menu; grilled cheese at its finest is my quest for the day. Endless blue sky is the playing field for our frolicking feathered friends. Their sudden spiral pirouettes are indicative of forthcoming change. Standards come and go and must be received most respectfully. Remember, fate is a factor that cannot be denied. On that note, let us deconstruct and reconstruct the popular sandwich so its reputation rides the tide of perpetuity. Working our way from the crunchy exterior to the inner place of goodness is the logical train of thought. The theme of climatic delectability saves the best for last. Rustic white bread with all its nooks and crannies highlights the importance of consistency. This specialized sandwich needs a filling that can hold its own and support the foundation of the thick bread. Most will agree the major ingredient of a grilled cheese sandwich is the cheese itself. Comfort zone is a thing of the past; consider Comté cheese when sophistication is on the forefront. Comté is a French cheese produced in the Jura Massif region of Eastern France. The delicacy is matured in the darkness of special caves where the cheese gets it unique taste, texture and color. According to Cheese.com, there are 83 flavors which can be savored while tasting this particular cheese. But the main essence is the balance of brown butter and roasted nut aromas and a
sweet finish. Superlative enters the culinary arena of choice. Comté has great melting properties which makes it perfect for grilled cheese. What would the world be without bacon? The primal passion for smoked foods cannot be denied and therefore further exploration is a prerequisite. Do not think in terms of mere smokiness; hickory, apple, cherry, pecan and mesquite are just a sampling of specialization. America loves bacon and what else needs to be said. Layers of imagination lead one to the idea of caramelized onions. Vidalia onions are sliced paper thin and sautéed until a golden hue mesmerizes the eyes of the beholder. The sweet, golden brown onions are a natural pairing with the creaminess of the cheese and savoriness of the bacon. Supporting ingredients are just as important as the “star” of the dish. One more element is needed to complete this cheesy delight. If you guessed acidity, you are correct. Marinated tomatoes will add a whole new dimension to the sandwich. Extra-virgin olive oil, sherry wine vinegar, garlic, thyme and a few pinches of red pepper flakes is all that is needed for mouthwatering results. Marinated tomatoes not only add zest but cut some of the richness of the cheese. Each component is delicious on its own but the unique combination of flavors is what really sells this sandwich. If one loves grilled cheese, you must try this recipe. Grilled Cheese at its finest Marinated Tomatoes ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup sherry wine vinegar 2 teaspoons dried thyme 2 teaspoons dried basil few pinches red pepper flakes 2 cloves garlic, minced kosher salt to taste 2 tomatoes, sliced thinly 1. In a medium bowl, whisk all the ingredients except for the tomatoes. Pour marinade in a large Ziploc bag. Add tomatoes and seal tightly. Place Ziploc bag in a
bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. When ready to use, strain the tomatoes. Grilled Cheese 4 slices bacon 1 sweet onion 4 slices country (coarse) white bread, sliced ½-inch thick 6 ounces smoked cheese such as Comté, provolone, or Gruyere 4 ounces American cheese 7 tablespoons unsalted butter 1. Fry bacon until crisp. Place on plate lined with paper towels to absorb the drippings. 2. Using a mandoline, slice the onion very thinly. In a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook onions in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until they caramelize (about 10 to 15 minutes). If necessary, add a touch more butter. Set aside. 3. Place two slices of bread on a cutting board. Divide half of both cheeses evenly between the two slices. 4. Divide caramelized onions evenly between the 2 slices of bread and place on top of the cheese. 5. Divide marinated tomatoes between the 2 slices of bread and place on top of the onions. 6. Cut strips of bacon in half. Each bottom half of the sandwich gets 4 halves of bacon (2 strips). 7. Top each open face sandwich with remaining bread. 8. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add remaining butter. When it has melted and starts to bubble, cook one side of sandwich until the bread is a rich golden brown and cheese has started to melt. Flip sandwich and repeat process. It may be necessary to add a touch more butter. 9. Cut sandwiches in half and serve. Secret Ingredient - Nothing. “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” – Theodore Roosevelt

In fact, this is our 28th year of celebrating Halloween here,” said Matt Mittenthal, vice president and assistant director of asset management at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, the mall’s leasing and property management firm. “You can expect to see a parade of unusual characters from the world of the real and unreal…” White Marlin Mall is located a halfmile west of Ocean City on Route 50 next to the Ocean City Tanger Outlets. A preview of many of the Halloween activities can be seen on the mall’s website at www.whitemarlinmall.com/events.asp. “Halloween is definitely bigger than ever. People just love Halloween because they can let loose and enjoy,” Mittenthal said. “It is more popular now than ever before with youngsters, their parents and even the family pets. Everyone enjoys Halloween more and more as each year passes. It is a tradition that all family members are happy to remember.” Mittenthal pointed out that there is one qualifying rule for prospective trickor-treaters that applies to all who wish to attend this family event. “Children must be in costume when
they visit the merchants who are participating in the trick-or-treat promotion from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31 to receive a small token of appreciation from participating merchants,” Mittenthal said. “Our one important ground rule for trick or treating is that the treats are available only to children 12 years and younger who are in costume.” While the kids are getting their treats, parents may want to look over a selection of merchandise as stores begin to preview gifts and merchandise for the holiday season. In the spirit of celebrating Halloween, many of the shops at the White Marlin Mall will hold special sales. Built in 1987, White Marlin Mall with its 200,000 square-feet of retail shops is located adjacent to the 180,000 squarefoot Ocean City Tanger Outlets. When both facilities are combined, they comprise the largest shopping center complex in the greater Ocean City area. The White Marlin Mall stores are Marshalls, Dunkin’ Donuts, Five Guys, Park Place Jewelers, Staples Office Supplies Superstore, Dollar Tree, RadioShack, PetCo, Farmers Bank of Willards, Dressbarn, GNC, Panera Bread, FiveBelow, Cutting Crew, Jiffy Lube, Wendy’s, KFC, Taco Bell, the AT&T Store, Pier 1 Imports, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Michaels Crafts, Bath and Body Works, Sleepy’s, Wockenfuss Candy/US Postal Service Branch, Hallmark/News Center, GameStop and Nice Nails Salon.
(Oct. 30, 2015) Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care is offering an introduction and training course for anyone interested in volunteering at the nonprofit organization that serves Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties. Coastal Hospice depends on a dedicated staff of volunteers to fulfill its mission. Patient volunteers offer comfort and companionship to patients and their families, provide transportation and deliver supplies. Other volunteers support the staff with office work or assist at the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop in Berlin. Those interested in volunteering for patient visits are invited to attend the training course on two Saturdays–Oct. 31 and Nov. 7– from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Coastal Hospice Volunteer Offices,
Philmore Commons, 224 Phillip Morris Drive, Suite 102 in Salisbury. Persons interested in volunteering for office or thrift shop work are invited to attend Saturday, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but are also invited to attend both days. The free course is open to anyone, and attendees are not required to commit to volunteering. For more information, call Judy Hunt-Harris, manager of volunteer services, at 410-543-2590. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

Commentary
Terrible pay decision by council majority
The 4-3 decision by the Ocean City Council Tuesday to ignore the findings of its most recent pay study and to grant a 2 percent pay increase to all employees makes perfect sense. One, the pay study, which was released in June, was the first of its kind to tell local officials what others have been saying for years – that they are overpaying people in a number of categories. Two, some officials have been in office so long that they aren't giving pay raises to their employees, but to their friends. Otherwise, the council majority, with the support of the mayor, would have recognized that granting a 2 percent boost across the board is neither fair nor productive, in the sense that employees will think kindly of their benefactors. More likely, it will be shrugged off as a meaningless gesture or, worse, will stoke resentment among workers who aren't in the upper tier pay grades. More beneficial would have been to take that budgeted money and given a decent pay raise to workers who make considerably less than their supervisors. A 2 percent bump awarded to someone who earns $40,000 is a measly $15.38 a week or too little to make a difference. At the same time, the person who earns $100,000, and there are many of those on the payroll, would receive an additional $38.46 a week, an insignificant amount for someone who makes that kind of money. The better approach would have been to give the lower echelon a 4 percent raise, or somewhere in the range of $30 a week, and done nothing for the top earners, who are, according to the study, being treated exceptionally well as compared to their counterparts in other jurisdictions. They would have understood. By going against the pay study's recommendations, the voting majority and the mayor have demonstrated that they either do not or choose not to recognize the difference between the person and the position. The position is worth what it's worth based on the job market and budgetary constraints. That's a personally uncomfortable way to look at payroll, but that is the responsibility of management. New councilmembers Wayne Hartman, Matt James and Tony DeLuca, who voted against the raise, get that. The others did not and in the process added to the pay structure problem the study was supposed to help fix and made no one particularly happy.

Letters to the editor National Hospice Month recognized
Editor, This November, as we mark National Hospice Month, Coastal Hospice is grateful to serve the four counties on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore, where there is such a strong spirit of generosity. It has been 35 years since a small group of dedicated people came together to create Coastal Hospice. And in the years since we have grown, not only in size, but also in the number of ways we serve our community — and in the ways that community has reached back in support of our mission. In 2006, we added a new program and updated our name, becoming Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care. From year to year, each change, each addition to our programs, has been met with an enthusiastic “yes” in our region. In the past year, Coastal Hospice served nearly 1,100 patients and provided more than $650,000 in charity care. And that’s only part of the year’s story. A request for lap blankets sparked an overwhelming response, warming the hearts of our patients and staff. A partnership with Sal-
isbury University created Camp Safe Harbor, not only helping children respond to loss, but also building the field of professionals prepared to deliver grief support to younger individuals. And our non-medical service, Compass: Connecting You to Support at Home, has taken root and is growing rapidly. Our palliative care clinic at the Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute at Peninsula Regional Medical Center is delivering support to almost seven times as many patients as it did just four years ago. That means that not only are more individuals getting help with life-limiting conditions, but also more physicians are recognizing the value of palliative care for their patients. Thank you for 35 years of supporting Coastal Hospice. We pledge to continue to earn your support and your trust for many, many years to come. Alane Capen President, Coastal Hospice and Palliative Care
Thanks for Drive in Disguise
Editor, The Downtown Association would like to thank all who participated in the “Drive in Disguise” Board-

Thanks also to the local businesses who offered discounts to the participants: Kite Loft, Dough Roller, Pickles, Dolle’s Candy, The Original Greene Turtle, Blue Ox, Pour House, Captain’s Table, Ayers Creek Adventures and Trimper’s Haunted House. Special thanks to the Ocean City Development Corporation for its continuing support. We appreciate the local organizations who were at the inlet parking lot with information: The Town of Ocean City, OC Life-Saving Station Museum, Art League of Ocean City, Downtown Association, AARP Chapter 1917. We also are indebted to the Ocean City Police Department, Ocean City Fire Department, the Stephen Decatur High School Marching Band and Chick-fil-A for joining us this year. Next year we will be adding to the participants of the event – bicycles, individual costumes and other exciting possibilities. See you in 2016 for Drive in Disguise. Nancy Howard, Secretary OC Downtown Association

PUBLIC EYE
Take your pumpkin coffee and chunk it Ocean City Today
To paraphrase poet James Whitcomb Riley, “When the frost is on the punkin/ and the fodder’s in the shock/ you can take your punkin-flavored coffee/and … beat it with a rock.” Yes, it’s that time of year again, when, for some mysterious reason, many people delight in getting their annual pumpkin-flavored something fix. Not to offend By friends of gourds, Stewart squash, melons and Dobson other members of this cucumbersome family, or any advocacy groups that might be sensitive to the thoughts and needs of fruits and vegetables, but have any of these overzealous supporters of the annual pumpkin frenzy ever actually eaten fresh pumpkin … straight? Here’s a hint: if you’re one of the few who have scooped up a steaming
spoonful of plain old pumpkin, you undoubtedly know the proper pronunciation of “bleah!” I realize I am risking attack by pumpkin connoisseurs who at this very moment are itching to say, “But you’ve never tried MY pumpkin,” to which I would respond, “The condition of your pumpkin is and should remain a personal matter.” In my experience, at least, the taste of straight, unadulterated pumpkin lies somewhere between Play-Doh in its formative state and something your dog might roll on, although I really am just guessing as to the latter. I wouldn’t want to imply that I know or would want to know anything about anything that my dog believes is rolling material. The truth is, pumpkin by itself is nothing more than a carrier of things that, unlike it, are good on their own. In that regard, it is more akin to the blind date who has a great smile but who looks like a hubcap. This is not to denigrate the facially hubcapped, but you know what I mean.
OCTOBER 30, 2015
With a pumpkin, the great smile is the spice and other ingredients that go with it that make pumpkin-flavored coffee, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin tarts and pumpkin cake taste good. Let’s review: cinnamon (very good), nutmeg (okay), allspice (pretty good), ginger (good), cloves (it depends), brown sugar (really good) and lemon zest (interesting). What I’m saying here is that a bowl of steamed crickets would taste okay with all that stuff on it, which is why pumpkin-flavored coffee is really cinnamon, et al. For that matter, zucchini coffee would taste as good that way. Of course, no one has ever written a poem featuring a zucchini. Although I did hear a limerick once that goes, “Blindfolded magician Houdini/cut vegetables up for linguini/ he plopped on the board/what he thought was a gourd/but instead diced up his …” ***
Apology: Two weeks ago, a reader demanded a public apology for a cartoon we ran that featured a sign saying, “Welcome ISIS” followed by a cartoon character’s comment, “But it’s good for business.” She said the cartoon inappropriately suggested that Ocean City supports ISIS. We pointed out that the cartoon was intended as a satire that poked edgy fun at events many people don’t care for, but generate good money for the resort. That was our intent, much like it was Mel Brooks’ intent to satirize public tastes when in his play and movie “The Producers,” his satirical vehicle was the fictitious play, “Springtime for Hitler.” Obviously, Brooks was not suggesting that Hitler ought to be considered as anything other than the evil creature that he was and we weren’t suggesting that ISIS is anything but the terrorist organization that it is. Apparently, not everyone got it and we apologize.
