onsidering the importance of the elections on the state, county and local levels, Worcester County’s registered voters should make a point of going to the polls next Tuesday.

Next week’s elections are particularly important, as voters will have to pick from a field of distinctly different candidates as they decide who will speak for them in Annapolis, county government, and in Ocean City.

In addition, the Ocean City election, which is held separately from the state and county contests, will present voters with a tough referendum question: whether the collective bargaining agreement local firefighters have with the city should include binding interest arbitration.

The race for the Maryland Senate is, perhaps, one of the closest watched in this section of the lower shore.

It pits Democratic incumbent James Mathias against Republican Delegate Mary Beth Carozza, who is attempting to move into the legislature’s senior chamber.

More locally, the District 3 (West

Ocean City Today

Ocean City-Berlin) race for Worcester County Commissioner offers voters a clear choice between long-time incumbent Bud Church (R) and challenger Zackery Tyndall (D), a Berlin councilman.

In the Ocean City contest, it’s a matter of who will get left out in a five-way race for three seats. If incumbency means anything, Councilmen Matt James and Lloyd Martin would have an edge in name recognition, while recently retired Ocean City police officer Mark Paddack, 2014 council candidate Chris Rudolph and businesswoman Emily Nock go after the vacancy created by the departure of Wayne Hartman.

Hartman, a Republican, resigned from the council to run for the House of Delegates in District 38B (Worcester-Wicomico) and faces token opposition from Ed Tinus, also a Republican, who’s mounted a writein campaign.

Here’s who’s running for what.

Maryland Senate

Jim Mathias, 67, Democrat: Mathias, who has a degree in political science from the University of Maryland-Baltimore, has been a fixture in

local government and politics since the 1987, when he was named to the Ocean City Board of Zoning Appeals.

He graduated to the City Council in Jim Mathias 1990, was reelected in 1994, but two years later ran successfully for mayor. He held that post for 10 years before winning a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates in 2007.

Mathias was elected to the Senate four years later and was reelected in 2014. He is a member of the Finance Committee, Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Critical Area, and served on the Task Force to Study a Post-Labor Day Start Date for Maryland Public Schools.

Mary Beth Carozza, 57, Republican: Carozza is a veteran of politics and government of more than 30 years.

She has served in numerous capacities at the state and national level, including two stints as chief of staff for members of Congress, deputy chief of staff for a U.S Senator and as Deputy Chief of Staff for Gov.

Robert Ehrlich.

She also was the recipient of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service for her effort, when as a Department of DeMary Beth fense staffer, she Carozza helped to maintain communications between the Pentagon and the Capitol Hill after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.

A graduate of Stephen Decatur High School and Catholic University, Carozza became a member of the Maryland House of Delegates in 2015.

Worcester County Commissioner

Three members of the Worcester County Board of Commissioners face no opposition in this year’s election.

Joe Mitrecic (Dist. 7, Ocean City), Madison “Jim” Bunting Jr. (Dist. 6, Bishopville-Ocean Pines) and Diana Purnell (Dist. 2, Mid-County) will return for another four-year term in Snow Hill, the county seat.

Voters in the Berlin/West Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Snow Hill and

Ocean City Today

NOVEMBER 2, 2018

Pocomoke districts will have decisions to make.

District 3

(Berlin/West Ocean City)

Republican Bud Church, who has represented this district since 2003, faces Berlin Councilman Zackery Tyndall, a Democrat. This is a classic contest between a long-time county government veteran and a newcomer on the county scene.

Bud Church Church, 77, acknowledges that the pro-environment community criticized him in his first term for favoring developers over environmental preservation, but that he gained its support by backing or sponsoring “every conservation easement that [came] through to add to our forest[s]

and trees.”

He said critical issues in his district that must be addressed are meeting the growing retirement community’s needs for services, Zackery Tyndall and grappling with increasing development and its infrastructure requirements. Church, a Realtor, is president of Coldwell Banker, Bud Church Realty in Ocean City.

Tyndall, 28, was elected to a fouryear term on the Berlin Town Council in 2016, but now seeks to vacate that seat two years early so he can represent his hometown and West Ocean City on the county level.

Holding a master’s degree in business administration from Salisbury University, Tyndall says that county commissioner complacency is costing this area jobs, is hindering education and hurts local nonprofits.

PAGE 5

He also says finding ways to create more steady employment opportunities for residents and focusing on pedestrian safety in West Ocean City are among his priorities.

District 5

(Ocean Pines)

Republican incumbent Anthony “Chip” Bertino, 53, is seeking reelection to his second term, while hoping to derail that endeavor is De-

mocrat Judy Butler, 70, former president of the Democratic Women’s Club of Worcester County.

Bertino, who went into office with a pledge to keep a tight Chip Bertino rein on spending, says he has learned a great deal about how government works in the past four years. That, however, hasn’t changed See ELECTION Page 7

Continued from Page 5 his views on how it should budget its money. While he cites his support of building the new Showell Elementary School as evidence of his pro-education philosophy, he also points to his role in helping to pare down the cost of construction.

His campaign posiJudy Butler tions also include pushing for the expansion of Route 589. Butler, a retired clinical laboratory scientist, shares that assessment of the Ocean Pine’s area transportation needs.

She says safety is a paramount concern for the connecting road between routes 90 and 50, and that the area’s continued growth makes that artery more congested every day.

Butler, a clinical laboratory scientist, retired to Ocean Pines in 2010, and since then has been a volunteer for local nonprofits, such as Diakonia. She also advocates planning to preserve the area’s natural environment.

District 4

(Snow Hill)

Republican Ted Elder, 67, ousted incumbent Democrat Virgil Shockley, 65, by 176 votes in 2014 to claim his first term, and now Shockley would like to return the favor.

Voters in this district know the candidates, and the competition between Ted Elder them, well. Shockley and Elder also went head-to-head in 2010, when Shockley eked out a win by 90 votes, again in 2006.

Both identify with the agricultural community and both say Virgil Shockley the need for highspeed internet connectivity is critical. They disagree, apparently, on how aggressively to pursue it.

District 1

(Pocomoke)

This is contest might be described as an up-and-comer versus the veteran, as Democrat Joshua Nordstrom, 45, challenges incumbent Republican Merrill Lockfaw, 70.

On his list of accomplishments over his past two terms, Lockfaw points to imJoshua provements in his Nordstrom southern Worcester District’s various facilities, including lights for the Pocomoke River Bridge and a handicapped-accessible crab pier in Girdle-

tree.

He also says he is one of seven commissioners who have been focusing on streamlining government and cutting exMerrill Lockfaw penses. Of crucial needs, Lockfaw thinks volunteer fire companies need more financial assistance and help in attracting more recruits.

Nordstrom has been attending commissioners’ meetings for the past four years, the purpose of which, he says, is to learn as much as possible so his first year in office wouldn’t be devoted to finding his way.

He, too, believes the absence of

PAGE 7

broadband internet access is a major obstacle to economic development and jobs creation. He advocates helping to create an educated workforce by making further education more affordable, especially for disadvantaged students.

Acknowledging the Ocean City is responsible for a good portion of the county’s economy, he says the rest of the county needs to diversify its economic base, and become less dependent on the resort’s commercial success.

But she will be responsible for helping people get through a difficult time with the administration of a loved one’s will, or someone who died intestate, or without a will.

cean City’s municipal election is held the same day as the state election, but is a separate exercise. It even has its own polls in a different location in the Ocean City convention center (signs will direct voters).

When voters do enter those polls next Tuesday, they will choose between two candidates for mayor and six candidates for council, as well as decide whether collective bargaining by the Ocean City firefighters union should include binding interest arbitration.

Mayor of Ocean City

On paper, the office of mayor has been largely ceremonial since 1982, when the City Council voted to institute the council/city manager form of government and stripped the mayor’s office of much of its authority.

The mayor, who is elected to a two-year term, has no vote, in most circumstances, but does have veto power and, depending on the individual, can wield considerable influence from the bully pulpit and the powers of persuasiveness.

The mayor is the official front man for Ocean City government in dealings with the General Assembly and other branches of government.

Rick Meehan, 69, has been the resort’s mayor since 2006 and before that Rick Meehan a member of the City Council since 1985. A Realtor, Meehan holds considerable sway over the council by virtue of a persuasive, rather than confrontational, style.

He is being chalJoe Hall lenged in this election by former Councilman Joe Hall, a restaurant chef and veteran of the hospitality industry.

Hall’s decade of service on the City Council was marked in 2011 by

NOVEMBER 2, 2018

the forced resignation of then-City Manager Dennis Dare, now a councilman, and the majority’s decision to overhaul the city’s employee benefit package, including its guaranteed pension payment plan in favor of a 401K-style retirement package.

Ocean City Council

Three vacancies and five candidates — that’s what elections are all about, and in this case, voters will decide whether incumbents Lloyd Martin and Matt James should serve another four years, as they are being challenged by retired Ocean City Police Sgt. Mark Paddack, businessman Chris Rudolph, who’s making his second run for a council seat, and businesswoman Emily Nock.

Martin, who owns and operates convenience stores, has been on the council since 2002, and has served as its president since 2012. He says his loves council work, but also acknowledges that he’s not inclined to run a hoopla campaign, having said more than once, if the voters see fit to re-elect him, he’s happy to do the job.

Paddack has paid his dues in Ocean City via his 28 years with the Ocean City Police Department and handling assignments in all its divisions.

Democratic challenger Hall makes run for 38A delegate

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Dr. Kirkland Hall Sr., the Democratic candidate for District 38A Maryland Delegate, has deep Lower Shore roots and a legacy of civil rights advocacy and community activism that motivated constituents to spark his candidacy.

Hall, a graduate professor and coach at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore for more than four decades, said a contingency of focus groups and coalitions approached him two summers ago to seek help in light of the 2018 election.

“They said, ‘We know your reputation and you’ll fight for what’s right … you believe in helping people and we want you to consider running,’” he said.

A graduate of Somerset Junior Senior High School (presently Washington High School), Hall joined the Democratic Club of Somerset County in 1986 and served for half dozen years as Chair of the Somerset County Democratic Central Committee.

After consulting with family for a few months, he filed his candidacy last September.

“I talked to my wife, my daughter in Nashville and my children that live

Last December, Hall was invited to speak at the Factory Farm Summit in Kirkland Hall Ocean City, which was organized by the Socially Responsible Agricultural Project.

Hall is running on a threefold platform highlighting health care, education, and preserving the farming and seafood industries.

“I just can’t believe the response and the support I’ve gotten verbally from so many different groups,” he said. “That solidified that I made the right choice.”

District 38A Delegate Otto seeking third term in office

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Del. Charles Otto, a third-generation farmer native to Somerset County, hopes to preserve traditional Lower Shore industries and enhance educational and vocational training for area youth.

A Republican, he’s running for a third term in District 38A. “We’ve got a lot going for us in the district, but we’ve got a lot of challenges as well,” he said.

In 2010, Otto opted to seek office after Del. Douglas Page Elmore died.

He fended off four Republican challengers during the primary and then defeated Democratic candidate Michael McCready in the general election.

The following year, redistricting changed the boundary lines for District 38A, which previously included Wicomico County, to encompass Somerset County and a significant portion of southern Worcester County.

“In 2014, I ran in the new district, which is 40 percent in Worcester County,” he said. “It includes all of Pocomoke, Snow Hill and then it narrows down and just goes up [Route] 113 through Newark.”

Otto, who was victorious over former Crisfield Mayor Percy Purnell Jr. during the 2014 election, said Somerset and

Worcester counties are on different footing in some regards, most notably in levels of state education funding.

“One of the big challenges is Worcester Charles Otto County gets the least per pupil spending in the state and Somerset gets the most from the state,” he said. “That’s a challenge to weigh and maybe that’s a good thing.”

Otto graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1986 with a B.S. in Animal Science. He has operated a family-owned farm and worked for Salisbury-based Farmers and Planters Company as a crop consultant since 1995.

“I serve on the Environment and Transportation Committee and that’s very important for our agriculture and natural resources,” he said.

Otto serves on the Maryland Farm Bureau board of directors and is also a member of the Somerset County Farm Bureau, the Maryland Grain Producers Association, Delmarva Poultry Industry Incorporated, as well as president of the Wicomico County Farm Bureau.

“We continue to see an overzealous environmental community wanting to See OTTO Page 12

Hall graduated in 1973 from UMES, later obtaining a master’s in educational administration from Ohio State University and earned a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and Government from UMES in 2012.

Now a great grandfather at 67, Hall

said today’s leaders need to consult with tomorrow’s to ensure a brighter outlook.

“We’ve got to understand we’ve got a future in our children,” he said.

“Let’s talk to the younger kids, because they’re going to be here when we’re gone.”

Hall said the dreams of future generations allow appropriate change to occur.

“It’s my responsibility to do the best I can and make sure they can fulfill their dreams,” he said. “We can’t allow what’s going on now to remain the same forever.”

Otto supports agricultural values as delegate Continued from Page 11 dictate everything,” he said.

From his purview, Otto questioned the impact of increased regulation on the average farmer.

“Certainly, we need to be stewards and conservationists, and we will continue to do that in agriculture,” he said.

“Most of our time now is wasted with paperwork and threats of fines.”

Noting amenities like the Pocomoke River State Park and the Discovery Center in Pocomoke, not to mention Snow Hill and Berlin, Otto said Worcester County could both cater to residents and lure in visitors.

“Those resources we need to utilize to provide recreation for local folks, as well as draw in more tourists,” he said.

“We have that big gem of Ocean City that draws a crowd, but not everybody wants to stay on the beach all day.”

Looking ahead, Otto anticipates the currently under construction Somerset

County Technical High School will reopen for the 2019 school year to replace an older facility.

“We’ve got an outstanding technical facility in Worcester County,” he said. “I hope to match that [in Somerset] to train our young people and have good paying jobs in the area.”

Voter registration question sparks debate at forum

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Should voters be allowed to simultaneously register and cast their ballots on Election Day? It’s a question on the ballot in Tuesday’s general election, asking voters whether they are for or against the constitutional amendment to “allow sameday registration and voting at the precinct polling place on Election Day.” Several candidates running for local and state office gave their opinions about the ballot question during a forum last Wednesday evening at the American Legion in Ocean City.

District 38 Senate candidate Mary Beth Carozza said her concern with same-day registration was that it could allow for “possible abuse in the system.”

Instead she said the measures currently in place that she said she deems sufficient.

“Right now, you can do same-day registration early voting,” Carozza said.

“So I think that’s plenty of opportunity for voters to take advantage of that.”

One woman said the language could be subject to interpretation, and asked if the ballot question could contribute to voter fraud. Carozza said her question “underscores the need for voting against that ballot initiative.”

Another woman asked Carozza and her opponent, Sen. Jim Mathias about their thoughts on the ballot question.

Mathias empathized with her “concern about our democracy and the integrity of your vote,” and underscored the role local election boards play.

“The integrity of the local election board — I mean they go ‘round the clock to make sure that the integrity of our voting policies are intact,” he said.

Mathias also said if he’s reelected he would push for legislation to ensure the “independent voter is now franchised.”

“I think our democracy, ladies and gentlemen, is so important,” Mathias said “Engagement is so important that we shouldn’t be excluding folks.”

In another part of the forum, District 1 candidate Joshua Nordstrom was asked what most surprises him when going door-to-door. His answer? People who say they’re not planning to vote.

Nordstrom added how close elections can be on the national, state and local levels. He urged people to head to the polls because “there is a chance that your vote may be the only one that matters, because you’re the one that might break the tie.”

How can voters be convinced? Nordstrom said it’s about the people running for office stepping up.

“So what we can do as candidates is make sure we give them someone to vote for,” Nordstrom said. “Show up at their door and talk to them, make them feel like their vote is important.”

Nordstrom also emphasized the lack See CANDIDATES Page 14

Boardwalk access project moves to bid stage

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) With cost estimates for Boardwalk barricades reduced by an additional $100,000, the Ocean City Council issued a call for bids this week for the installation of permanent vehicle barriers at access points along the 2.9-mile promenade.

City Engineer Terry McGean provided a project update, including a Nov. 13 bid due date, during the City Council work session on Tuesday.

“We had a pre-bid meeting yesterday and we had relatively good attendance,” he said. “Assuming the bid goes well, we would look to start construction in December and be done by no later than May 17, 2019.”

In July, the council suffered sticker shock after initial project cost estimates

topped $4.2 million, with additional engineering alternatives chopping about $1.3 million the following month.

The intent is to erect permanent barricades at 26 access points along the Boardwalk and at the inlet parking lot to deny entry to anyone who might attempt to drive on the boards, which in the summer draws tens of thousands of people.

“The design remains the same as originally presented back in August using a combination of bollards, manual gates and a railing system,” he said. “If you recall … we had not chosen the railing system.”

After examining various railing options, McGean opted to base the bids on a post and cable fence, intended to secure the inlet parking lot.

“I think it has a nice nautical, open feel to it versus just the steel bar,” he said.

“They’re very easy for the system to be maintained, you can simply unbolt the cable.”

In light of the ocean environment, McGean said another benefit is a corrosion-resistant PVC rail coating.

“One of the problems we had with the Jersey barriers is people sitting on them [and] leaving … cups,” he said. “Obviously, you will not be able to sit or leave trash on it.”

McGean also said the post and cable fence represented a lower cost solution compared to other options.

“We have reduced the cost by $100,000,” he said. “Don’t count those chickens until we get the bids in, but we’re going in the right direction.”

The vehicle barrier project will eliminate 21 parking spaces up and down the Boardwalk, McGean said.

Candidates discuss ballot question Continued from Page 13 of early voting stations in Worcester County, and stressed the need for sameday voter registration during early voting in all parts of the county.

“Do you know how many people are going to Berlin to vote early so they can register and vote that day? Not very many folks,” Nordstrom said.

Nordstrom reiterated his support for the initiative, but said it should be equal.

“Yes, it’s great that you can register and vote on the same-day,” Nordstrom said. “Let’s just make it for all communities and not just the ones that have early voting sites.”

District 3 candidate Zackery Tyndall

PROVEN LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCED WITH CONTRACT NEGOTIA ATTIONS

said he agreed with Nordstrom’s call for countywide early voting.

“Josh Nordstrom brings up a great point that I think regardless of who you vote for, regardless of what happens, if you’re a Worcester County resident, there’s something that’s very important, and that’s putting a early voting area down south,” Tyndall said.

“Three of those are paid and the remaining 18 are currently free,” he said.

Councilman Tony DeLuca asked if the installation of cigarette receptacles on the way to Boardwalk could be done in conjunction with the vehicle barrier work.

McGean said the possibility had been discussed and remains viable.

“There are areas on the street ends where these things are going in that will create a median or shoulder between the end of the street and the Boardwalk,” he said.

DeLuca said with construction work slated to begin in December, sufficient time exists to confirm if grant funds are in hand.

McGean said related materials would need to arrive before the concrete work, which is among the last tasks to be completed.

“By March, you’d want to have your material in, so we could work those in as we do the site restoration,” he said.

Mayor Rick Meehan asked if agreements have been reached with several private businesses whose locations allow potential Boardwalk access for vehicles.

Despite having one arrangement yet to finalize, McGean said the issue is resolved.

“Two of them were the same owner, and those were the big ones, and that owner has been very cooperative, and we have signed agreements already,” he said.

Mathias, Carozza quarrel on paid sick leave

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) District 38 Sen. Jim Mathias and opponent Del. Mary Beth Carozza were apparently unaware the candidate forum last Wednesday in Ocean City was not a debate as they tackled the issue of a paid sick leave bill.

“Very simply, I feel like I would appreciate a rebuttal for a moment,” Mathias said.

This issue came up during the question-and-answer portion of a forum where several local candidates were present.

The paid sick leave bill, which was passed over the veto of Gov. Larry Hogan, gives one hour of leave per 30 hours an employee works and applies to many seasonal employees, much to the concern of tourism operations in Ocean City. Originally, the measure involved all employees who worked just a portion of the summer, but Mathias succeeded in extending the length of time an employee must work to qualify for the benefit.

Mathias, who voted for the bill and, in the process angered numerous local employers, said he knew the paid sick leave bill would pass, and he tried to start a conversation with area businesses in the hopes of reaching an effective compromise.

“We didn’t achieve all of it, and I’ll be polite here tonight, but in my committee of jurisdiction, we brought it down and provided the benefit,” Mathias said.

Carozza said the business community in Ocean City identified a priority to protect their bottom line, and added her own legislative efforts to support the exemption.

“Yes, we knew this paid sick leave bill was coming, so what did our locals ask for? They said we need a 120 [day] seasonal exemption so this doesn’t crush us,” she said.

Carozza said she backed Gov. Hogan’s legislative efforts to reach a compromise on paid sick leave for businesses.

“However, since we are moving forward with … a mandated paid sick leave policy, then at least make sure it’s common sense,” Carozza said.

“Gov. Hogan’s proposal was good for both the job creators and the employees, so that’s the common sense approach that I support.”

Carozza said she stood with Hogan’s initiative, and added the current bill could have “disastrous effect on our job creators right here in Ocean City and on the shore.” She said she took issue with her opponent’s differing approach.

“That is a clear contrast between the two of us,” she said.

After Carozza finished her thought, the moderator allowed Mathias one minute to respond.

He took aim at his opponent’s approach, and stressed the need for compromise and bipartisanship when working to find a solution to benefit constituents.

“My colleague is right, for three years she put in a bill, or an amendment, and guess what folks, it failed.

Whoops,” he said. “And when we go

forward, unless you learn how to work across party lines, that’s what’s going to continue to happen.”

He said he defended his reasoning for supporting the bill, which came from the confidence of his constituents.

“So with all due respect, by the trust that I’ve determined and worked with, earned from these folks here in the house, I earned that trust,” he said.

OCBP seeks help recruiting future staff within ranks

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) While Ocean City Beach Patrol lifeguards are only on duty during summer, recruiting surf rescue technicians has become a yearround endeavor.

Lt. Ward Kovacs, who joined OCBP more than three decades ago, said proper staffing and training is essential.

“If you don’t have enough people to keep the beach safe all the other stuff you do, how much does that matter?” he said. “In order to be able to staff it properly, recruiting really is our lifeblood.”

In recent years, Kovacs said techniques to recruit lifeguard trainees have been refined.

“The old approach is they sat back and waited for the recruits to come to them,” he said.

Kovacs said that tactic resulted in cyclical returns, with alternating lean and fat years.

“You go through … years where you have an adequate staff and then you can go through a few years … where you never quite fill your staff,” he said.

“The goal is to get out of that cycle and get that pipeline going where we always have enough people.”

More recently, Beach Patrol leadership has sought assistance from current lifeguards to attract new candidates, Kovacs said.

“What we’re trying to do is strongly and early emphasize to our young SRTs the importance of recruiting,” he said. “Peer recruiting is something we really push.”

Instilling a recruiting mindset in these younger guards has made them salespersons, Kovacs said “Whether at a job or school … they’re the ones right now … surrounded by other people who can do the job,” he said.

OCBP members also have a strong support system, Kovacs said.

“My job, and the other officer team, is then to give our young people the tools that they need to finish that recruiting job,” he said.

Marketing materials, which used to be mostly posters and flyers, were expanded last year to include informational business cards that contain OCBP contact data and lifeguard testing dates.

“It said, ‘join our team,’ with a welcoming picture of lifeguards on the cover,” he said. “It’s just like having a business card with them, but it’s a recruiting card.”

In addition to stocking stands with business cards for distribution to potential candidates, recruiters are provided other marketing materials while attending school.

“We also mail them pamphlets and See LIFEGUARDS Page 19

NOVEMBER 2, 2018

Lifeguards assist beach patrol with new membership Continued from Page 18 posters and ask them to put them in places around their college,” he said.

The other area of emphasis is increasing the percentage of people who follow through after making initial inquiries, Kovacs said.

“If they contact us, how do I get them to that next step to registering for a test?” he said.

Recruiting agents help by making direct contact with candidates in their region, Kovacs said.

“Just to make a personal contact with one of our current guards to get them to look into the next step,” he said. “This allows people to know where and when we’re going to having a test [to] give them time to get in shape for the run and the swim.”

From year to year, new methods are investigated find potential lifeguards, such as the summer job fair at Salisbury University, Kovacs said.

“Candidates living within 30 miles who are looking for summer jobs … that’s a perfect market for me,” he said.

“Salisbury people have the added benefit that later in the season, when most of our kids go back to school, they can at least come back to work weekends.”

To expand the patrol’s recruiting reach, Kovacs said offseason lifeguard testing is held at York College in Pennsylvania.

“York get us into a whole new market,” he said. “We’ll get people from north of York, but then it’s also a very easy drive from Baltimore.”

“For the first time last year, OCBP was able to tap into a target-rich environment at the University of Maryland at College Park, Kovacs said.

“There’s like 50,000 kids there,” he said. “There’s more people there of the age that we’re looking to target than anywhere else in the region.”

Accessing the larger pool of candidates resulted from years of effort, which Kovacs hopes to expand on in the future.

“It took us years to get a footing there, and last year we were finally able to hold a test there,” he said. “This year we’re looking to expand on our offer there and get it locked in earlier, so I can advertise it more.”

After doing demographic research into which sport yields the highest percentage of lifeguards, a new recruiting pool was uncovered, Kovacs said.

“Most people think it would be swimming and diving or track,” he said. “We get more people that are lacrosse players than anything else.”

That insight was put into action this summer when OCBP set up a recruiting table during a lacrosse tournament at Northside Park.

“We’ll see if it yields any results, if not we’ll move onto something else,” he said. “Anything we can do to throw a wrinkle into it.”

OC hosts Operation Tourist Boom disaster training, Sat. Maryland National Guard holds large scale daylong exercise on beach, inlet lot

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Ocean City and the Maryland National Guard are joining forces, along with a wealth of first responder agencies, for “Operation Tourist Boom,” a disaster training exercised scheduled this Saturday at the inlet parking lot.

Held during the National Guard’s regular drill weekend, “Operation Tourist Boom,” focuses on decisionmaking, coordination and integration with allied agencies from all levels of government in a realistic training venue.

In addition to police, fire and EMS personnel from Ocean City, as well as the Maryland National Guard, other partners include: Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Park Police, Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, Wicomico Civil Air Patrol, Worcester County Schools and Atlantic General Hospital.

“Operation Tourist Boom will consist of several simultaneous complex incidents,” Ocean City Emergency Management Director Joseph Theobald said. “The training is designed to provide dynamic, high-intensity and realistic scenarios to test decision making and response during an emergency.”

Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to come out and see their community working together. Exercise will begin at 6:30 a.m. and run through 6:30 p.m. with various viewing areas available for spectators.

“It is critical for our teams to understand they don’t work alone,” Maj. Gen. Linda Singh, the adjutant general of Maryland, said. “We rely on all partners from all levels of state and federal government. This exercise is a good example of what happens when local planners work together to focus their efforts on keeping our citizens safe.”

Disaster response training events are done on a predictable basis to help the National Guard synchronize with first responders from federal, state and local governments.

The massive training exercise, which has been under development since February, will include live demonstrations and exercises in the inlet parking lot, the Boardwalk and beach.

In total, nine operations will be conducted simultaneously, including about 1,000 responders and 250 paid recruits serving as disaster victims, with the objective to overload local resources.

The event, which is not weather dependent will also test core capabilities

with real time requests.

Mayor Rick Meehan stressed the importance of a public awareness campaign to avoid unintentionally frightening the masses.

To that end, the State Highway Administration will provide 10 variable message board signs this weekend to alert the public.

Two disaster response sessions are scheduled on Saturday, with a morning round from 6-11 a.m., followed by a second dose from 12:30-6:30 p.m.

OC, Wor. receive grant funds from Hogan Administration

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) America’s Greatest Family Resort received $150,000 in grant funding for projects from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, according to a statement from the Hogan Administration.

Three $50,000 grants will go toward the Ocean City Development Corporation projects, according to the statement. The funds will assist the Business Development Program, the Green Building Initiatives Program and the Façade Improvement Program, according to the Community Legacy FY19 Awardees list.

Glenn Irwin, executive director of the Ocean City Development Corporation, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the organization for the grant approval.

“It’s very competitive too, so that’s why I think we’re very fortunate to get funded each year,” he said.

Irwin said the façade program “provides financial assistance through state grants that pay for one-third of the cost” for exterior improvements for residential and commercial properties. He added there is approximately $5,000 allocated for each building.

Irwin said the Green Building Initiatives Program also provides onethird of funding, but focuses on energy efficient projects including windows, doors, insulation, and “energy star rated shingles.”

“But it’s a great way for someone who’s thinking about replacing their roof that needs it to basically accomplish two things: get a new roof and also be [an] energy efficient roof,” he said.

Irwin added the Business Development Program, started in 2014, is exclusively for the inside “new and expanding businesses” in downtown Ocean City. The interior improvements could be used for flooring, bathrooms or lighting. He specified the area is designated from the inlet to approximately 17th Street.

Irwin said the projects strive to continue building up Ocean City.

“That’s our charge,” he said. We work with the town of Ocean City real close, and when we were established in 2000, the intent was to revitalize the town of Ocean City.”

The state announced the community legacy program grants on Oct. 24.

Revitalization projects get grant funding from Hogan Continued from Page 23 received $360,000, according to a statement.

The Hogan Administration said the grants would go toward efforts concerning “business creation, expansion, and retention; streetscape improvements; homeownership and home rehabilitation incentives; commercial improvement programs; mixed-use development and community facilities; and cultural and recreational space.”

A $30,000 grant for façade improvement was provided for Berlin, according to the according to the Community Legacy FY19 Awardees list. Snow Hill received $150,000 for the acquisition of a PNC Bank, and Pocomoke was allotted for a program concerning business and residential rehabilitation.

Ivy Wells, Town of Berlin economic and community development director, said the program is an extension of a previous 2015 program, which allows for a financial incentive to beautify the downtown area. The program is restricted to commercial buildings within the confines of the main street.

“When we exhausted those funds, I applied for more funding so we could continue the program, especially with all of the turnover in prop-

erty ownership and new businesses coming, I saw it was really important to continue this program, so I applied for more funding and received it,” Wells said.

Wells said the funding will go toward projects for “several building owners” that she was previously unable to get to. She added the process is lengthy, and involves working with state organizations.

Wells said the program for Berlin is a reimbursable grant. The property owners make the necessary improvements and the town then reimburses them for a portion of the project for what was approved, and the state then reimburses the town. If it costs someone $10,000, the town would pay for $5,000, as Wells said it’s a 1-1 match.

Wells said the façade improvement grant instills a “Keeping up with the Joneses” mentality as the budding town continues to improve.

Gov. Larry Hogan expressed his support for statewide revitalization through community projects.

“These investments energize our communities, boost our economy and improve Marylanders’ quality of life,” Hogan said in a statement. “Together, we’re changing our communities – and Maryland – for the better.”

Ocean Pines residents Marvin and Mary Chaney start the prep work to make their own ceramic bowls during a bowl-making session for the Empty Bowl Project at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, Tuesday, Oct. 30.

ALOC, Diakonia present Empty Bowl Project

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) The Art League of Ocean City and Diakonia celebrate five years of collaboration on the Empty Bowl Project, a project with the goal to end hunger.

The project was founded by Michigan residents Lisa Blackburn and art teacher John Hartom in 1990-91 when they joined a drive to raise charitable funds in their community.

Hartom’s idea was to organize a charitable event to give artists and art students a way to make a difference.

Participants can make their own bowls right at the Ocean City’s Center for the Arts on 94th Street, where the proceeds will benefit both the Art League of Ocean City and Diakonia, a nonprofit organization which resolves to end hunger and homelessness in Worcester County.

“It’s been a grassroots movement that spread around the country, but everyone runs it a little differently,” Rina Thaler, director of the Ocean City Art League, said. “We wanted to do something that fit our community and we had worked with Diakonia before to bring awareness to hunger and homelessness through art. We thought this would be a perfect way to bring the two organizations and the community together and support two good causes

– the arts and the homeless shelter.”

Last year, around 200-300 bowls were made and the event raised approximately $10,000. In the four years the Art League and Diakonia have partnered on this project, the organizations have raised more than $39,000.

“A lot of times people are intimidated to come into the art center because they think, ‘Oh, I’m not an artist, I can’t draw a stick figure, I can’t make art,’” Thaler said. “This [event] is the way to getting them in here and saying, ‘Hey! Everybody can do this. Everybody can create something and be a part of this.’ Then they are realizing not only are they helping a good cause, but

they’re expressing themselves and enjoying themselves.”

The money raised during the event is split evenly between the two organizations, which helps to promote art programs for the Art League, and provide resources for Diakonia.

“Everybody benefits,” Diakonia Director Claudia Nagle said. “It’s a different way to get involved in the community and learn about the different services that are offered and the different organizations. It’s [also] a really fun way for individuals and families to help others in their community.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) The sixth annual Believe in Tomorrow Prom Court has been announced and the competition has officially begun.

Eight candidates are vying for the Believe in Tomorrow Prom King and Queen titles. The man and woman who raise the most money for the organization from now until the beginning of February will be declared the winners.

“We wanted to do something in the winter,” Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program, said.

“We had to replace our heating air conditioning system and it was a very expensive job at the Children’s House so we wanted to do a little event that hopefully would offset the cost a little bit and raise money in the wintertime.

Guests do not need to have previously made a bowl to attend, but can purchase one and soup for a $25 donation at the door. Local restaurants donate the soup, bread and desserts for the event. A cash bar, a soup-to-go station, a silent auction and live music are also included. Guests are asked to keep the bowl as a reminder of all of the empty bowls in the world.

Man, woman who raise most money declared king, queen Continued from Page 26 to relive their prom?’ And [turns out], they do,” he continued. “The first year, I would have been happy with $10,000 but we raised $35,000. The second year we came back and raised $85,000 [which I believe is] because we had a better idea of what worked and what didn’t work.”

Competing for Prom King are: Ocean 13 co-owner Steven Bowers, DJ Stevie Jay and Touch of Italy General Manager Peter Scioli.

Running for Prom Queen are: Salisbury University student Nicole Goheen, Photographer Julie Wagner, Radio announcer and DJ EJ Foxx, Pickles Pub owner Brittney Acita and Pasadena resident Ashley Weaver.

The competition raised an all-time high of $100,000 during the 2018 campaign. The 2018 Prom King was Frankie Smith, who collected $24,000. The Prom Queen title went to Jessica Jersey, who raised $16,000.

“It always comes down to the amazing individuals we get on the prom court,” Littleton said. “They do all the work and they go out and they work it.

I’ve been very blessed to have some wonderful people on our prom court.”

Several new members have joined the prom court this year, varying from self-employed business owners to owners of restaurants and businesses around the area. The court will hold several fundraising events over the next four months to try and raise the most money.

Jay is an entertainer from Delaware who has joined the court for the first time.

PAGE 27

“There’s a lot of different organization for critically ill children and a lot of them just only focus on the financial side of things and Children’s House does more than just the financial side of things,” he said. “They also help with the emotional side of things by providing that housing. It’s a great program to be a part of.”

Jay plans to raise money primarily in Delaware, citing most of the competition will focus in Ocean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines and Salisbury. He plans on raising money through bingo games he entertains for.

Scioli is also participating for the first time.

“We have a few tricks up our sleeves,” he said. “We’ll probably host a night at the art league, and a few other tricks.”

Scioli has some ideas for his own fundraising projects, but wants to keep them a surprise until the time is right.

“It’s going to be something that people have never seen before,” Scioli said. “It’s going to be interesting if all goes to plan. I want to surprise everybody. I’m sure everyone knows somebody that’s lost somebody to cancer.

It’s such a good cause and Touch of Italy loves to do things for the community.”

Restaurant Ocean 13 is competing once again, but it isn’t co-owner Jeremy Brink this year. Stepping in is Bowers.

“Last year [Jeremy] was part of prom court and this year we felt it was time for me to do it,” Bowers said. “I was excited about jumping in and See FUNDS Page 28

Funds raised to benefit Believe in Tomorrow Continued from Page 27 doing more than just donating food.

This will be a couple months of donating time and effort to raise money for a cause that’s really good for this town.”

Bowers plans to raise money this year through a lip sync battle, mini golf tournament, and a whiskey dinner fundraiser.

Wagner was inspired to participate as a result of witnessing the generosity of Believe in Tomorrow.

“I photographed a little girl named Leslie and she was sharing with me all the things they got to do staying at the Believe in Tomorrow house,” Wagner said. “It encouraged me to do different things to raise money for the organization.”

Wagner will host a “womanless pageant” on Nov. 9, where men will dress up like women to raise money.

In addition, she plans to have a “Heaviest Doe” competition, where hunters will try to hunt the largest deer, plus a raffle, and finally, she will hold a sweetheart ball in January for families to dance and enjoy themselves.

This is Goheen’s first year participating in the prom court, and she looks forward to raising money for the organization.

Goheen, a Phi Mu sorority sister, plans to raise money through various

events including carnival games and tournaments.

Goheen’s first event took place Oct. 6, during Hair We R’s second annual LocktoberFest. Goheen and several of her sorority sisters created carnival games for children to play.

“Phi Mu has a lot of history with Johns Hopkins,” Goheen said. “I planned our philanthropy event in 2016. I really connected with having events all the time to raise money so I knew this was something I could be really good at to help people out.”

This is Foxx’s second time as a queen candidate.

“When you get to meet these children and these kids get to see the beach for the first time or dip their toes in the ocean or the sand, it’s just an amazing feeling,” Foxx said. “These kids get a chance to get away from their chemotherapy and the doctors and the nurses and the everyday drudgery of what they’re going through. It lights up their face. It’s a wonderful feeling.”

Foxx has already begun raising money for the competition, holding a golf tournament last month that garnered $1,050.

On Dec. 15, in Salisbury, Foxx will hold a Rock Around the Christmas Tree event at Hopper’s Tavern. Most of her fundraisers will take place in

Salisbury.

Acita has also been a part of the court before as well. She participated four years ago.

“My husband and I have owned Pickles now for four years,” Acita said.

“We’ve always hosted a family when the [Children’s] House is full for their choice of lunch or dinner on Justin and I. So, we’ve been involved for four years.”

Acita said she has plenty of events planned, and as the only pregnant prom queen contender, she jokingly added she might also hold the prom prince or princess title.

“I’m a mom of 2.5, so meeting many of the dads and moms and grandparents, I see their struggles,” Acita said. “I see the exhaustion in their face and the unknown and whatifs, and it’s just devastating and I always say, ‘I can get through anything in life as long as my babies are healthy.’ I like helping to take anything off those families.”

Acita and her staff plan on holding several events in the Eighth Street bar/restaurant, such as a wing competition, a 50/50 and silent auction, breakfast with Santa and a volleyball tournament.

“A week after prom ends I’ll be having a baby,” Acita said. “I believe we’ll win this year but if we don’t you’ll see

Weaver has a personal connection to the Believe in Tomorrow organization. In 2013, her sister, Amanda Zimmerman, passed away at 17 years old.

The Weaver family was invited to the Children’s House by the Sea, on 66th Street in Ocean City, in 2012, and had plans to visit again in September 2013. Zimmerman passed away in August that year. Littleton still invited the family to stay during their scheduled week.

“When we stayed at the house in 2012, it was so much fun for my sister and I,” Weaver said. “There were so many memories from Believe in Tomorrow, from the gift cards to the putt-putt around here, and the amusement parks, there was just so many memories.”

Weaver plans to raise money in honor of her sister. Her first event will be a bull roast. This is her first time as part of the prom court.

“I really want to win for her. I want to bring her photo,” Weaver said. “I don’t care about winning for myself. I want to show her up there and say this is who I won for.

“I love this organization, and since 2015 I started coming to the beach bash,” she continued. “I wanted to come every single year. It’s been so much fun.”

The Prom King and Queen winners will receive personalized gift baskets, including gift cards and various donated items from local businesses. The Prom Queen also typically receives a bouquet of roses.

The final results will be announced at Seacrets on 49th Street, Saturday, Feb. 2, during prom night. Doors will open at 7 p.m., and the announcement will be made at 9 p.m. Tickets purchased in advance cost $35 and $40 at the door.

Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation provides hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. Since 1982, Believe in Tomorrow has provided over 900,000 individual overnight accommodations, from every state in the U.S. and more than 82 countries worldwide.

The Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street in Ocean City is open yearround to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness.

Each of the four condos feature kidfriendly décor and paintings with at least two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully-stocked kitchen, living and dining room areas.

Families can also vacation at the Believe in Tomorrow House in Fenwick Island and House by the Bay on 28th Street.

Dakes, Believe in Tomorrow named finalist for award

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) The Believe in Tomorrow Foundation has a chance to win $100,000 and a multi-year charity relationship with NASCAR, as a representative for the organization is a finalist in a nationwide competition held by the sports giant.

The NASCAR Foundation’s Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award is a yearly competition between thousands of children’s charities and honors a dedicated NASCAR fan who has positively impacted the lives of children through volunteerism. Over the past seven years, The NASCAR Foundation has awarded $1,225,000 to charities in honor of 28 finalists, with more than 260,000 children being helped

through their combined efforts.

NASCAR announced the four national finalists for The NASCAR Foundation’s Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award at Kansas City Speedway, which includes Carl Dakes, a volunteer for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation.

The award winner will be determined via an online fan vote that kicked off Wednesday, Oct. 24, and runs through Monday, Nov. 19, at 5 p.m.

“We’re just incredibly honored to be a part of it and excited to be a part of it,” Believe in Tomorrow CEO Brian Morrison said. “We nominated Carl back in February this year. It’s very exciting and very well deserved because Carl is a one-in-a-million volunteer. He

Winner to get $100K, NASCAR partnership Continued from Page 29 This August, NASCAR notified Believe in Tomorrow that Dakes was a finalist and sent a film crew to Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea in Ocean City, where NASCAR representatives spent a day interviewing Dakes and Believe in Tomorrow families.

“I’ve never been interviewed, never been videoed like that and it was just amazing and they did a great job. I’m just honored to be a part of it,” Dakes said. “Believe in Tomorrow saves those families so much time and money, they offer them phenomenal weeks and that includes all the restaurants and supporters and games because this whole thing is not just one group of people.

“It has grown, especially in Ocean City, where Believe in Tomorrow is well known, well respected and well loved,” he continued. “Once I get to meet the families and I get to see the things they get to do while on their week, it’s so amazing because they need this. It rejuvenates them. The children have these beautiful smiles and the parents have wonderful memories.”

Dakes, of Crofton, Maryland, is a paint contractor by profession and president of The Dakes Company Inc. He has volunteered thousands of hours over the past 18 years, painting all nine Believe in Tomorrow facilities, includ-

ing the pediatric hospital in Baltimore and several respite houses spanning from North Carolina to Fenwick Island, Delaware.

“Carl is a gregarious guy,” Morrison said. “He’s a lot of fun, always upbeat.

I’ve never in 18 years seen Carl as anything but enthusiastic. You’re very blessed in your life if you have a job that you do five days a week, and then in all your spare time, you’re doing that very same thing for fun.”

According to Dakes, his favorite project for Believe in Tomorrow was his very first, a building located in Ocean City on 28th Street on the bay.

“It’s one of my favorite places to go, because I grew up Ocean City. It was my vacation spot when I was growing up with my parents,” Dakes said. “I just love what I do and I never thought it would be like this. I love to paint. When I’m doing this, it’s just one of the gifts the good Lord’s given me to change the way things look.”

Dakes, who is nicknamed “Carl the Painter,” was incredibly humbled by the nomination and offered sincere best wishes for his three competitors as well.

“Last weekend, I got to meet the other three finalists,” Dakes said.

“While we definitely need our vote, they’re wonderful people too. I just love the idea that our country has so many wonderful people that work for fami-

lies and children because that’s really the most important thing you can do.”

Should Believe in Tomorrow come out on top of the competition, the money will be used to expand the Ocean City facilities, which has a site waiting for development on 65th Street and is expected to break ground in late 2018/early 2019.

“If you vote for us, you’re basically a part of the project,” Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program, said. “It only takes a few seconds and you can be a part of the new children’s house.”

The winner will be announced Thursday, Nov. 29, during the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards at Wynn Las Vegas. The NASCAR Foundation will donate $25,000 to each charity represented by the award finalists, and the charity with the most votes will receive a $100,000 donation and a multi-year charity relationship with NASCAR. Voters are encouraged to vote every day.

“The really important thing is that people need to vote every day for these three weeks,” Morrison said. “We need to create an army of voting volunteers that can put in a minute a day for the next three weeks and create these votes that are needed.

“We have a strong volunteer and

donor base, and when word gets out at the voting process, I think that could be exactly what we need to cross the finish line,” he continued.

To vote, visit https://believeintomorrow.org/nascar/ or visit https://www.nascarfoundation.org/a ward to vote directly or watch Dakes’ video.

Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation provides hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. Since 1982, Believe in Tomorrow has provided over 900,000 individual overnight accommodations, from every state in the U.S. and more than 82 countries worldwide.

The Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street in Ocean City is open yearround to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness.

Each of the four condos feature kidfriendly décor and paintings with at least two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully-stocked kitchen, living and dining room areas.

Families can also vacation at the Believe in Tomorrow House in Fenwick Island and House by the Bay on 28th Street.

Annual ‘Brews and Bites’ at Embers, Nov. 8

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) The third annual “Brews and Bites” fundraiser to benefit the Macky and Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice, will take place Thursday, Nov. 8, at Embers, on 24th Street.

“It’s a lot of fun. It’s different from any other events that we have supporting Coastal Hospice,” Kat Gunby, Coastal Hospice community and media relations coordinator, said.

“This is a fun opportunity to enjoy some wonderful food from local restaurants and craft breweries and enjoy time with your friends and have a good time while supporting an organization that does so much for our loved ones at the end of life.”

Tickets include unlimited beer tastings from local craft breweries including Dogfish Head, Heavy Seas, Flying Dog, Rubber Soul and Tall Tales.

Last year, about 200 people attended the event and approximately $15,000 was raised for Coastal Hospice, which organizers hope to surpass this year.

Embers, Longboard Café, Iron Horse, the Greene Turtle, Barn 34, Rare & Rye, Candy Kitchen, Centerplate Catering, Kellyn’s Kafe from Salisbury and Sysco will provide the

food. A snowball stand truck will also be stationed outside the restaurant.

Attendees can participate in a live or Chinese auction featuring various raffle prizes, which Gunby plans on keeping a surprise until the day of the event. Music will be provided by Blake Haley.

‘This is a great chance to support an organization that helps people at the end of life. We are the only hospice serving the four lower shore counties...’

Kat Gunby, Coastal Hospice community and media relations coordinator “This is a great chance to support an organization that helps people at the end of life,” Gunby said. “We are the only hospice serving the four lower shore counties. Everybody at some point in their life, or their loved one’s lives, may have an experience in hospice.”

The event is spearheaded by Cole Taustin, owner of The Embers/Blu, and Kellie Meehan, of Mann Properties. Their goal is to create awareness of Coastal Hospice and the impor-

tance of philanthropy among their peers, according to Gunby.

The planning committee for this event includes Colleen Donovan Brown, Amanda Buckley, Jennifer Hallon, Jessica Osborn and Joe Wilson.

“These [events] are only possible with people like Cole and Kellie and their committee,” Gunby said.

The party will be held from 5:308:30 p.m. Tickets cost $50 online and at the door.

“Brews and Bites” is a major fundraiser for the capital campaign to build the Stansell House at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean in Ocean Pines, which sits on 11 acres of waterfront property and is expected to open in early 2019.

Once completed, the 26,000square-foot residence is slated to

house 12 patient rooms for those who lack a caregiver at home and can no longer manage independently. The property will also have medical and palliative care, counseling, grief support and community wellness programs.

Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a private, nonprofit organization providing health care, hospice services, palliative care, bereavement support, education and training for patients and their families in Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset and Dorchester counties. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Asparagus adorned with Parmigiano-Reggiano crust

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Out of all the vegetables that grace our bountiful tables, asparagus is the most majestic.

Its grand appearance and distinctive taste set it apart and makes it popular yearround.

Variety comes in many flavors and asparagus is no exception. Whether you shop for bright green stalks, mild white stalks, or purple selections, always look for firm, crisp stalks with tight, fully closed budding tips.

As the asparagus ages, the petals on the tip will slowly open up, dry out, or simply fall off. In addition, the stalk of the asparagus will develop ridges which are another sign that it is not fresh.

Asparagus grow from an underground base from which scores of stalks emerge impressively. It takes about three seasons for the crown to begin producing edible stalks, and it is for this reason asparagus can be pricy.

Asparagus lose its flavor quickly, so the sooner you cook it the better off you are. But the best way to preserve it is to cut off the ends, place upright in a cup of water, and store in the refrigerator.

Creativity is a good thing and can turn the page to a more enticing menu. Steamed asparagus with hollandaise sauce or decadent, roasted asparagus are delicious but predictable. The holidays are coming up, so let us take a look at some other options.

Cooler weather warrants a change in one’s choices. Consider wrapping thin slices of prosciutto around the asparagus for a sophisticated approach. This is finger food at its finest.

Asparagus wrapped in prosciutto can be grilled or baked and can be served as an appetizer or accompany a main course.

Pickling asparagus introduces a whole new flavor profile and also makes a great gift. An old-fashioned canning jar and rustic ribbon completes a thoughtful gesture. You do not have to go through the canning process but you should let the recipient know the shelf life is about a week.

Following is a basic pickled asparagus recipe.

Trim 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, preferably “medium thick” spears.

Bring 1 ½ cups rice vinegar, 1 ½ cups water, 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon turmeric, 1 ½ tablespoon pep-

percorns, 1 ½ tablespoons mustard seeds, 3 cloves peeled garlic, and 1 dried chile to a boil, stirring to make sure the salt and sugar dissolve completely.

Turn heat down and allow mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Remove pickling liquid from the heat and allow to cool. Place asparagus in a clean, one-quart wide mouth canning jar. Pour cooled pickling liquid in the jar. Place the lid on top, seal, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Thin or thick asparagus is the proverbial question. I prefer thick asparagus, I think it has more flavor and is more visually stunning. However, you must peel it.

If you do not do this, you will have to cook the asparagus for a considerable amount of time to get the tuff skins tender. The only draw back is the flesh will be overcooked which is unappealing. By peeling the outer skin, you can cook the asparagus to the desired doneness with no guessing.

Asparagus adorned with a Parmigiano-Reggiano crust is a delectable appetizer or side dish that is perfect for the holidays.

The richness of the ParmigianoReggiano cheese is able to support the crunchy panko bread crumbs. A hint of Herbs de Province adds depth of flavor while allowing the natural taste of the asparagus to come through.

The secret to the dish is to slightly undercook the asparagus. Once the asparagus is cooked and the dish is assembled, it is going to go under the broiler and cook a few more minutes.

In closing, remember the tiniest ingredient of originality sparks ingenuity. Do not be afraid to question conventionality, it is these subtle steps that set you apart from other chefs. Enjoy!

Fresh Asparagus Adorned with a Parmigiano-Reggiano Crust

Ingredients 2 bunches (about 2 pounds) thick asparagus 2/3 cup freshly Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 3 teaspoons plain panko bread crumbs 1 teaspoon Herbs de Province extra-virgin olive oil kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1. Cut off tough ends of the asparagus. Peel the asparagus from the budding tip to the base of the stalk.

2. Steam until almost done, about 3 minutes. Cooking time will depend See SERVE Page 36

Berlin Junior Pee Wee cheer squad heads to regionals

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) The Berlin Pop Warner Junior Pee Wee cheerleaders will be participating in the Eastern Regional event on Saturday, Nov. 3, in Trenton, New Jersey, where the team hope to reach the championship held at Walt Disney World’s Wide World of Sports on Dec. 3.

The Berlin Junior Pee Wee group advanced to regionals after taking first place during the Henlopen competition in Smyrna, Delaware, Oct. 13.

There are 26 Junior Pee Wee cheerleaders – 25 girls and one boy – on the squad this year, ranging in age from 811 years old. Several of them have competed at regionals before.

“This is the second year they have been able to compete,” Junior Pee Wee Head Coach Heather Selby said. “Most of them I’ve been with the four years I’ve coached. I have five new kids that I never coached before, who I don’t think have ever done cheerleading.

They’re all super excited because most of them this is their second regionals so they’re looking forward to hopefully taking a win to make it to Disney.”

The squad started training for the competition in August, getting toSee TOP Page 37

Top squads advance to Disney Continued from Page 36 gether four nights a week, or 10 hours a week. Once school started, practices were cut to six hours per week. In addition, the cheerleaders perform every Saturday during Pop Warner football games.

They will be competing against teams from Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania on Saturday, with their first routine at 3 p.m.

“They’ve done really well,” Coordinator Debbie Donahue said. “They’re very young. Some on the team have competed on the regional level before, but most of them have not.”

The cheerleaders will perform a two-minute 30-second routine consisting of cheer, dance, tumbling, tosses, pyramids and stunts. The competition is judged in points for choreography and showmanship.

If the team earns first or second place at regionals, the cheerleaders will advance to the national championship at Walt Disney World’s Wide World of Sports during the first week of December.

In addition to the Junior Pee Wee cheerleaders, the Junior Varsity squad will also compete in the Eastern Regional competition in Trenton, New Jersey, the following Saturday, Nov. 10.

There, 18 girls, ages 10-13, will also perform a short cheer routine for a

place at the Disney championship.

All adult volunteers go through certification programs and participants rely on donations to attend national championships. It costs $1,000 per person to travel to nationals. Both squads have nine coaches each this year.

“We are in the process of deciding which way we are going to go,” Donahue said. “We are looking at different events we can do, such as small fundraisers, bake sales, etc., but we’re also asking for sponsorship and donations from local businesses.”

A potential bake sale located at the Walmart in Berlin is also being considered.

“If anybody wants to donate, that’s our biggest thing right now,” Selby said. “This is a pretty large team with 26 kids, with all of us going to Disney, plus the nine coaches. It’s definitely [going to be] a lot of fundraising going on if we do advance this Saturday.

We’re excited and working hard.”

Berlin Pop Warner is accepting monetary donations for its football and cheer programs. Donations are tax deductible and can be mailed to: Worcester County Youth Football P.O. Box 1517 Berlin, Maryland, 21811.

PURPLE HEART Sen. Jim Mathias, left, an honorary life member of the Vietnam Veterans of America and Nelson Kelly, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter #1091 of Ocean City, right, present U.S. Army Veteran SP5 Edward J. Niemenski Jr. of Ocean Pines his second Purple Heart from the Vietnam War. On April 15, 1969, after spreading fuel to clear his team’s area, the fuel was prematurely ignited with an explosion caused by an enemy placed, trip wire controlled, Chi Con claymore mine. The explosion caused shrapnel to graze his left upper arm and an inferno of fire caused first, second- and third-degree burns to his back and right upper arm. He refused to be evacuated due to personnel shortages and finished his tour in Vietnam. For this wound, he was entitled to his second Purple Heart.

STAND UP SPEAK UP The goal at Ocean City Elementary is to directly teach the students the strategies they need to demonstrate positive leadership as bystanders - to stand up and speak up to bullies. During their annual Stand Up, Speak Up assembly on Sept. 24, fourth grade students presented a skit teaching strategies for dealing with bullying situations. The skit was presented to the entire school and students had the opportunity to sing and dance to the Stand Up Speak Up song. Pictured are fourth graders, in front, from left, are Ben Busko, Niki Chen, Mya Lanouette and Paige Dupont; middle row, Reed James, Harper Jerns and Lain Patchett; and in back, Avi Bouzaglo, Ronin Brooks and Anthony Ziman.

Hundreds of letters from Santa Claus are filtered through Ocean Pines resident Colby Phillips, who each year assists the North Pole in addressing correspondences to area children.

Phillips assists North Pole with letters to area children

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) “I met Santa as a young girl and have always believed in Santa Claus,” said Ocean Pines Aquatics Director Colby Phillips.

For the last six years, Phillips has helped deliver thousands of letters to children on behalf of everyone’s favorite North Pole resident.

Last year alone, she mailed 400 personalized letters from Santa to children in Worcester County and neighboring areas.

“As I’ve gotten older, I offered to take on a little bit of his responsibility and help him,” Phillips said. “I’ve been working for Santa Claus for six years. He’s very jolly. He encourages lots of sweets, which is great, because I enjoy that. I try really hard though not to get on his diet, because I personally don’t want to end up looking like Santa Claus, but he’s a very nice guy to work for.”

Phillips said the benefits were also great, although she doesn’t get dental.

“Just the Tooth Fairy does dental work,” she said. “But I should see about working with the Tooth Fairy too, so I can get on that plan.”

All it takes to get a personalized letter from Santa is an email to santaphillips@yahoo.com. Include each child’s name and mailing address.

Letters are run by Santa at his workshop and then addressed by Phillips to each household.

Also, she tends to use a lot of glitter.

“My dog [Lottie] is usually covered in that for a while,” Phillips said. “My entire house sparkles for several

months.”

She also handles letters addressed to Santa and sent to the Ocean Pines Post Office.

“They put a North Pole mailbox up specifically when they knew I started doing this,” Phillips said. “I also will help with the ones at the recreation department in Ocean Pines, so they can drop them off there or at the post office, and I will send a letter back to the kids.”

Materials – including stamps and envelopes – are donated by Santa’s workshop and by various businesses and community members.

“Thank you to everyone who had donated stamps and paper over the years as it truly helps!” she said.

Phillips started the program when her daughters were younger and she got to witness a child’s expression when opening a sparkle-filled letter from THE legendary Santa Claus.

That feeling, she said, is what keeps her going.

“I do get a lot of pictures and videos that people send me through my email or my Facebook page showing me their child opening the letter and reading it,” she said. “That’s what motivates me, is the reaction on the other end.”

When the season ends, Phillips said she goes back to overseeing the aquatics, parks and recreation, and racquet sports programs in Ocean Pines. She said Santa generally takes a few weeks off, in Florida, and then gets right back to work in January.

“It takes a long time to prepare to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls in the country and around the world,” she said.

Art show features pieces made from recycled bike parts

(Nov. 2, 2018) The public is invited to a free opening reception of the November art shows on First Friday, Nov. 2, from 5-7 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts, on 94th Street, bayside. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

The Eastern Shore International Mountain Biking Association (ESIMBA) brings in an art show entitled “We Cycle & Recycle” created from recycled bicycle parts.

ESIMBA is a nonprofit educational association formed in 2009 with members in Dorchester, Talbot, Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties in Maryland and in Sussex County, Delaware. This group of environmentally-conscious bicycle enthusiasts has linked together to enjoy trail riding and creating art from their spare bike parts.

Originally housed for three years at The Globe in Berlin, the fourth annual “We Cycle & Recycle” show is created by 20-plus artists including Tres Denk, Alex Ottenstein and Jim Coltellino, among others.

“People who ride bikes are almost always conservationists,” Denk, who also owns Independent Tattoo in Fenwick Island, said. “Bikes are not recyclable. Reusing them is better. I

love making stuff out of junk, and want to inspire others about the feeling of accomplishment you get when making something out of nothing.”

The First Friday event will start with a public bike ride through Little Salisbury before the opening reception, leaving the Arts Center parking lot at 4 p.m. The show will culminate with a public auction of artwork at the Arts Center on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the trail-building and safety programs of ESIMBA and the educational outreach of the Art League.

Bunting suggests things to consider when buying home

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Organizers reported record turnout during the annual Shore Craft Beer Fest: OCtoberfest event last Saturday in Sunset Park. Shore Craft Beer is promoting local brewers and tourism through the new “Beer Notes” program, available online and airing on several local NPR stations.

‘Beer Notes’ to air online and NPR

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) NPR listeners may be familiar with “Bird Note,” a brief, factoid-filled segment carried by stations across the country that’s identifiable by its woodwind intro music and recordings of bird songs. The program claims about 1.7 million daily listeners, including those on social media.

Shore Craft Beer founder Ann Hillyer has long been a fan of the program, which she cited as inspiration for the new “Beer Notes” segment produced through her office. “‘Bird Note’ is a two-minute show on NPR and it’s always fascinating,” she said. “It’s history, or it’s anecdotes, it’s science – migratory patterns or mating behaviors. And I thought, why is there nothing like this on beers?”

Hillyer came up with the idea about two-and-a-half years ago, but struggled to find funding to support it. Recently, a rural development grant from USDA came through to pay for equipment necessary to produce the program.

Hillyer did some research and spoke with representatives from Delmarva Public Radio, bought a fancy microphone, and then constructed a

… unique … soundproof barrier suitable for high-quality recording.

“We got a plastic tub and we lined it with egg crate, and then we put the microphone in the box and we put our head in the box,” she said. “And it sounds great. Honest to God, that’s what we’re doing. It’s so silly!”

Kristen Helf and BL Strang-Moya write the segments, which are then recorded by Hillyer and Anne Neely.

‘If this is playing in Portland or Ashville and it says, ‘Brought you from Delmarva, where worldclass beer meets world-class beauty,’ everybody is going to start looking at Delmarva as a craft beer destination.’

Shore Craft Beer founder Ann Hillyer Programs recorded so far include the debate over cans versus bottles, the history of New England IPAs, and how gluten-free beers are made.

There are also separate segments on the origins of Oktoberfest, and how early American settlers influenced the creation of pumpkin beers.

Rather than woodwinds imitating

birdcalls, each program opens with the sound of a can of beer opening and short, bluesy intro music.

Area breweries, from Ironweed Ale Werks in Ocean City to Dogfish Head in Milton, Delaware, are featured during program segments. There is also mention of the broadcast originating locally.

“If this is playing in Portland or Ashville and it says, ‘Brought you from Delmarva, where world-class beer meets world-class beauty,’ everybody is going to start looking at Delmarva as a craft beer destination,” Hillyer said.

Individual segments can be streamed from BeerNotes.org and are available for syndication. Locally, it can be heard on Delmarva Public Radio stations at 5:44 p.m., each Thursday during “All Things Considered.”

Hillyer said plans are to produce one show per week.

“Any public radio station across the nation can pick this show up,” she said, adding there’s also an online form for listeners to request that a local NPR station carry the program.

To add a radio station to the online form, email amh@maryland.com. Include the station location, call letters See BEER Page 55

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Most people want to own their own home—it gives a sense of security and stability.

It also allows for more flexibility in personalizing and renovating your home.

Most importantly, it allows the ability to build wealth as your equity grows. But, can you afford to buy?

Here are a few important things to consider: • Do you qualify for a mortgage?

The first step when thinking of buying a home is to contact a local lender to find out if you have an adequate credit score, income- and debtto-income ratio to qualify, and how much you actually qualify for.

This is not as painful a process as many prospective homeowners may think, and in most cases, a lender can provide a “pre-qualification letter” for you with just a 15-20 minute phone call.

• Can you afford the principal and interest payment, plus the taxes and homeowner’s insurance?

If you are using online mortgage calculators or apps to see what you can afford, be sure to factor in the cost of county taxes, city taxes if applicable, homeowner’s and/or condo association dues, hazard insurance and flood insurance if applicable.

Many of the mortgage calculators found online now do have fields for plugging in numbers for all of the above-mentioned expenses.

• Do you have enough money for required down payment and/or closing costs?

Even though there is a USDA/Rural Housing 100 percent financing loan available, it doesn’t cover all areas. For example, it doesn’t cover Ocean City or West Ocean City.

There are low down payment loans available, such as the FHA 3.5 percent down loan, but unless you can find a property where the seller is willing to pay the additional buyer’s closing costs, you may need upwards of $7,500-$10,000 even for a purchase price as low as $100,000. And, many condo project properties do not qualify for FHA financing.

‘Beer Notes’ to promote tourism and local brewers Continued from Page 53 and the program director’s email address.

“The more requests we can get, the better,” Hillyer said. “What we’re hoping is that other stations pick it up and have it as a weekly show as well.”

Hillyer said listeners could also email ideas for upcoming Beer Notes segments.

“If you have good ideas, send them our way,” she said. “We want people to send us ideas they want to hear about or learn about. That’s another thing you can do through BeerNotes.org.

“We want this to be something that goes on. Nothing is huge when it starts,” she continued. “I think we have to thank the stations for carrying it and we have to continue long enough that we can get other stations to pick it up. And then, Delmarva becomes the center for tourism.”

Of all the things Hillyer has done to promote local beer and tourism through Shore Craft Beer, she said Beer Notes is her personal favorite.

“Honestly, it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire career,” she said. “It just makes me happy when somebody comes up and says, ‘Hey, I learned something!’ It’s my favorite project ever.

“If we can teach people about beers, that’s a fantastic thing. If we can get people here to sample our local beers, that’s fantastic,” Hillyer continued. “As we boost tourism, we get more support for the breweries.

And maybe, eventually, Maryland will see that tourism is a good thing and that the strength of the breweries and what they’re providing makes it a great tourist destination. That’s the goal.”

DONATION Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from Merrill Lynch, a Bank of America Corporation. The funding from this grant will go toward Habitat’s upcoming home build in Bishopville, this fall. Timothy Lund and Christine Selzer, right, of Merrill Lynch present the donation to Anita Todd, left, and Andrea Bowland. Habitat’s mission is to help individuals and families of Worcester County, who are struggling due to a lack of affordable housing, and broader needs related to community revitalization.

Charles ‘Buddy’ and Laura Jenkins donate $25K to CH (Nov. 2, 2018) Ocean City business owners and local philanthropists Charles “Buddy” and Laura Jenkins provided a $25,000 donation to Coastal Hospice on behalf of the Joan W. Jenkins Foundation.

The donation is dedicated to support the construction of the Macky and Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, specifically the naming of the bereavement room of the new hospice residence set to open in early 2019.

“I decided to make this contribution to name the bereavement room in memory of the two children I lost,” Jenkins said. “Grief counseling is critical to overcoming loss.”

Coastal Hospice launched the “Put Your Name On It” fundraising campaign in an effort to name rooms of the Stansell House. The residence will provide the dignity of hospice care with the

comforts of home. Additional programs of the hospice house will include volunteer training, grief counseling and support groups open to the community.

“We are honored by Buddy and Laura Jenkins’ decision to support the mission of Coastal Hospice and the Stansell House with their generous gift,” said Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen. “The Stansell House will fill a significant gap in care for all of the Lower Shore. The “Put Your Name On It” campaign allows the community to share in the success of this important project.”

Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing lifelimiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible.

Ocean City business owners and local philanthropists Charles “Buddy” and Laura Jenkins provided a $25,000 donation to Coastal Hospice on behalf of the Joan W. Jenkins Foundation.

TOWN OF OCEAN CITY

NOTICE OF REFERENDUM UNION BINDING INTEREST ARBITRATION A Union Referendum Petition was filed with the City Clerk’s Office on March 2, 2017. On April 25, 2017, the Board of Supervisors of Election reported the number of Petition signatures surpassed the required twenty percent of registered voters.

On June 19, 2017, the Mayor and Council chose to schedule the Union Referendum Question for the next regular municipal general election.

Therefore, the Union Referendum Question shall be included on the November 6, 2018, Municipal Election Ballot.

A fair summary of said question is that Section C-1003(C) of the Town Charter will be amended to allow Town employees who are represented by the Union for certain employees of the emergency medical services division of the Ocean City Department of Emergency Services, and the Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Department, to have binding interest arbitration by an outside arbitrator in collective bargaining matters where the Union and the Town are in disagreement. Binding interest arbitration is defined as the process through which parties negotiating a collective bargaining agreement upon reaching any impasse on one or more terms, call upon a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve the impasse and create the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both parties are thereafter bound.

A vote for the Union Referendum Question supports allowing a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve an impasse in labor negotiations between the Town and the Union by creating the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both sides are thereafter bound.

Voting against the Union Referendum Question maintains that Town and Union collective bargaining impasses will continue to be resolved by your elected officials and not by a single person acting as an outside third party.

This Notice is required by state

law.

Registered Ocean City voters are able to vote in both elections at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center, 4001 Coastal Highway, on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Municipal Election will be held in Hall A; the National Election will be held in Hall B. The Mayor and City Council approved free bus service on Election Day. ADA service requests require a 24-hour advanced trip reservation. The building is handicap accessible.

Below is a sample ballot for the 2018 Ocean City Municipal Election which includes mayoral candidates, council candidates and a referendum question.

FOR MAYOR Joseph T. Hall II Rick Meehan FOR COUNCIL Matthew James Lloyd Martin Emily F. Nock Mark L. Paddack Christopher M. Rudolf

VOTE FOR ONE (1) o o VOTE FOR UP TO THREE (3) o o o o o

Referendum: A fair summary of said question is that Section C-1003(C) of the Town Charter will be amended to allow Town employees who are represented by the Union for certain employees of the emergency medical services division of the Ocean City Department of Emergency Services, and the Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Department, to have binding interest arbitration by an outside arbitrator in collective bargaining matters where the Union and the Town are in disagreement. Binding interest arbitration is defined as the process through which parties negotiating a collective bargaining agreement upon reaching any impasse on one or more terms, call upon a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve the impasse and create the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both parties are thereafter bound.

A vote for the Union Referendum Question supports allowing a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve an impasse in labor negotiations between the Town and the Union by creating the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both sides are thereafter bound.

A vote against the Union Referendum Question maintains that Town and Union collective bargaining impasses will continue to be resolved by your elected officials and not by a single person acting as an outside third party.

Election endorsements, recommendations Picks for state, resort and county officials, and ballot questions

In researching and assembling these pre-election recommendations of candidates and ballot questions, one thing stood out: this is as good a group of candidates as voters will ever see on the local, county and state ballots.

As for the ballot questions themselves, two are easy and one is extremely complicated.

Binding arbitration: yes The referendum question on the Ocean City election ballot, in our opinion, won’t do what either side believes or has been saying.

It asks voters if they want to amend the city charter to give the local firefighters union binding interest arbitration as part of the collective bargaining process.

Simply put, binding interest arbitration means a neutral arbitrator would be

called in to break an impasse in contract negotiations between the city and the union by making the decision for them.

The public has been led to believe that one side or the other is 100 percent right, and that can’t be the case.

What is a fact is that many career firefighters in the city’s employ don’t like management. They also don’t like having lost their 24-hours-on, 72-hours-off shift schedule in the last round of contract negotiations.

Union objections to the shift change was one of the reasons for the impasse in the most recent contract talks, and the union apparently believes binding interest arbitration will help in the next go-round.

There’s no guarantee of that, however, because the arbitration hammer swings both ways.

Despite assertions that arbitration leads to higher wages, that has not been the case, according to numerous

studies of public sector pay packages that have been settled by arbitrators and those that were established by collective bargaining alone.

Understandably, city officials don’t want to give up control and be told what to do by someone they don’t know. They also say taxpayers will be giving up their voices if the arbitration clause is approved.

Not to be overly cynical, but that already happened when collective bargaining was approved, with or without arbitration.

It’s our opinion that arbitration will disappoint both sides sooner or later. With that in mind, we’re endorsing binding interest arbitration for the firefighters union. The police union contract includes binding interest arbitration, so it’s hard to deny the same to firefighters.

Voting and same day registration: no This ballot question asks if people should be allowed to register to vote and then vote on the same day.

We say no. It’s going to be difficult for elections officials, who already have enough to do without having to register voters at the same time.

Casino revenue for schools: yes This is the easiest decision people can make on election day. Vote yes on this question.

State Senate We recommend the reelection of Sen. Jim Mathias. This is a pragmatic choice, rather than a philosophical one, since his opponent, Del. Mary Beth Carozza, also meets many of our criteria.

The fact is a Democratic majority controls the Maryland General Assembly, and the Senate is ruled by Majority Leader Mike Miller.

Mathias, a Democrat, has worked within that frame-

work and Miller is known for disfavoring anyone who opposes his agenda.

Even though Carozza is qualified and says she will take a bipartisan approach and reach across the aisle, it’s unlikely that the aisle will reach back.

House of Delegates For delegate for Dist. 38A, there is no compelling reason to replace incumbent Republican Delegate Charles Otto, while in 38C, we endorse candidate Wayne Hartman, a Republican, who faces no challenge beyond a doubtful write-in campaign.

County elections In the Worcester County Commissioner races, we believe Republican Commissioner Bud Church is the right person to represent District 3, which includes West Ocean City and part of Berlin. He has the experience, the ability and the influence necessary to look after this area’s interests.

For Ocean Pines, District 5, we endorse Republican Chip Bertino, who seems to be in sync with his constituents and whose regular town meetings ought to be emulated by others.

In District 4, we recommend the return of Democrat Virgil Shockley to the seat he held from 1998 to 2014.

And in District 1, which encompasses Pocomoke and southern Worcester, we recommend Democrat Josh Nordstrom.

In the contest for Register of Wills, we support Chief Deputy Terresa “Terri” Delaney Westcott, who has 18 years of job experience and the endorsement of her predecessor, Charlotte Cathell.

Ocean City Mayor and Council One of the rules of making endorsements is whether there is a compelling reason to remove an incumbent. We certainly don’t know of any.

Mayor Rick Meehan is a good spokesman for the resort and he has our endorsement. If you’re going to send someone to the General Assembly to plead Ocean City’s case, he would be the one to call on. This could be especially important, depending on who wins the race for state senator.

For council, we’re recommending the return of councilmen Lloyd Martin and Matt James. Martin may be taking an ultra-low-key approach to campaigning, but he has been doing the job and will continue to do it as long as the voters want him to be there.

James has done a good job in his first term and, not to be disparaging of the middle-aged and up council members, it’s good to have some youth on that panel of decision makers.

Recommending the person to fill the vacancy created by Wayne Hartman’s almost certain election to the House of Delegates is the tough one.

We are endorsing Emily Nock, who entered the race later than other candidates.

She might not be as wellknown among voters, but she has quite the resume.

She’s a businesswoman, is the president of her own company, grew up in Ocean City, her parents were in the lodging industry and she is the national vice-president of the Jaycees International.

Attaining that latter position required intelligence, political skills, the ability to address a crowded room and a willingness to work hard.

We also believe the Ocean City Council would benefit by having another woman on the dais.

Considering that the Ocean City tourism industry — especially the lodging aspect of it — was built mostly by women, we think government ought to reflect that.

Letters to the editor Another take on Pines’ Canada goose situation

An open letter to the Ocean Pines Association General Manager And Board Of Directors, local news media, and any other interested parties Editor, I am an Ocean Pines homeowner of more than 30 years and have lived here full time since 2008. I have acquired three homes here over the years, all occupied by family.

I lived in many locations during my life and working career. When the time came that I could buy a vacation home that would eventually be used for retirement, I looked in many places. My husband liked woods and mountains and fireplaces, yet I wanted to be at or near the beach. Neither of us wanted to live in any of the pristine and lovely gated communities we visited over the years – they were all nice, but we were looking for something more natural, more in tune with nature.

One of the qualities that drew me to this community was the abundance of trees and water and waterfowl and other wildlife here in a sylvan setting where one could be near the shore. Remarkably, in Ocean Pines it was possible to reside in beauty and serenity equivalent to a nature preserve, and daily to walk and drive among trees and water, and observe all kinds of wildlife. A restorative place hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life and demanding jobs. Each year, I never failed to marvel at all that exists in this beautiful place.

This year, my peace of mind and enjoyment of this community was shattered by the ill conceived and poorly executed decision to massacre hundreds of geese families this spring.

I was sickened by this tragedy, utterly shocked and appalled by what occurred. My trust in the OPA leadership and volunteer committees was severely damaged by the secret planning and decision making that occurred with no opportunity for broad community input – especially before taking such a harsh and irrevocable action that destroyed multiple geese families, creatures that I and many other residents had enjoyed having here so much.

I am sure that the persons responsible for the goose kill felt that they were making a hard decision that was necessary and unavoidable, and that they believed that the unannounced cover of darkness for the killing was appropriate to avoid chaos and controversy. To this, I say, “how sad, and how wrong.”

Because of illness and family commitments, I was unable to attend the open meetings that followed the goose kill. In reading all the news reports and comments, it was clear that a wide

range of strong views existed about what happened. As I pondered the situation and waited for my emotions to subside, I resisted writing letters of outrage and disappointment many times in the months that have followed. But today I would like to go on record to express some alternate views that I hope will be accorded respect and consideration. They are as follows: • The flocks of geese around our ponds and grassy areas in OP are a benefit, not a nuisance. Geese are large and beautiful creatures who mostly mate for life and carefully nurture and guide their young. The sights of two goose parents protecting their newborn chicks and later leading adolescent goslings in processions with a watchful eye, is something wondrous to behold (and a good lesson for humans). It never failed to bring a smile to my face and a brief feeling of peace and good will as I made my way around the community.

• The restorative power of nature and animals as an antidote for human stress and angst has been well documented in medical studies. Better than Prozac and pill popping and other selfmedications, the ability to see and interact with nature is a natural healing resource that should be protected, not eradicated.

• The various reports of pollution and other health concerns that were circulated as justifications for the killing of the geese flocks overstated the problem and ignored alternative solutions.

• Using dogs to harass and chase away the geese won’t solve the “perceived problem” that some have expressed. Furthermore, this action continues to interfere with my rights to enjoy the benefits that geese and other wildfowl have provided to me as a property owner. When I drive by South Pond now, instead of the pleasant sight of geese and ducklings bathing and eating and nesting, I am faced with blaring red signs “Do not feed” and barren, sparsely populated shores intermittently being policed by man and dogs. The whole scene is jarring, and ugly, and unnecessary.

Here is what I propose instead: three simple, humane, and safe approaches as follows: • Be a better steward of life and property by making a paradigm shift in the way that the geese are regarded and managed in Ocean Pines. Recognize that the geese are native creatures and should be here to stay, even in abundance. Understand that they provide substantial benefits to the quality of life here.

• Manage the issue of goose droppings by using a combination of volunteer cleanups and paid custodial work efforts to clean up as needed in areas where humans gather and walk. This Continued on Page 68

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 66 is not so difficult as it sounds and would be cheaper and immensely more humane than the ill-advised measures used so far.

• Rather than forbid feeding, resume the time-honored activity of allowing people to see and feed the wildfowl. This activity is something amusing, positive and joyful for both adults and children in today’s polarized and often angry, stressed out world. (One of my earliest and most pleasant childhood memories was being taken by my parents to feed the geese who gathered by a large body of water near National Airport in Washington.)

Speaking only for myself, but with hope and some confidence that there are others out there who will agree with me, I would be willing to have a small portion of my association dues be allocated to wildfowl cleanup (just

as is done for people cleanup). If this action cannot receive sufficient public support to go forward as a regularly budgeted expense, I would be willing to contribute out of my own pocket to a true “conservation and environmental protection program” that uses a combination of contributed funds, part-time hired help, and common sense cleanup measures rather than a cruel and ineffective program of organized killing and harassment.

I would also be willing to participate in some type of volunteer program that would share the work of cleanup for specified areas. By breaking such yard and walkway efforts into small assigned areas and manageable tasks, OP residents could both enjoy proximity to nature and carry out truly purposeful conservation activity. Perhaps a few local business might also be induced to participate, as is done for some highway cleaning efforts.

What I am not willing to do is to continue to stand silent in dismay and disappointment while changes are made in this community that affect me and others so negatively. Living here has not been the same since the goose kill. The prospects of ever getting back to the pleasant earlier times seem dim unless all involved can find a way to recognize that Ocean Pines waterfowl are one of the benefits of living here, not a nuisance, and deal with them accordingly.

I don’t want to move away from Ocean Pines in disappointment and disgust – I want to live here and promote a better life for everyone and everything in the community. Persons who wish to work toward this end are invited to contact me with comments and suggestions via email at skoski43@aol.com.

We should be proud of Boardwalk performers

Editor, Everyone during the course of their lives does certain things they are proud of and certain things they are not proud of. Some of us spend a lot of time and money trying to atone.

I think the thing I am most proud of in my 69 years is the three years I spent helping with the defense of the human rights of our performers. My comments may seem odd to those of you that latch on and believe in stereotypes, but personally I never met a performer who wasn’t well mannered and gentlemanly like or ladylike.

Let me tell you some things that happened during our three hard years of litigation. We all had to appear before Judge Bennett in Federal Court in Baltimore for the culmination of the litigation. Everyone appeared except one plaintiff.

Lucian the large violin player had to drive from Florida, where he performs during the winter. His car broke down and I lent him two hundred dollars. At the end of this summer he made a point to see me and repay me before returning to Florida.

The council dragged the lawsuit out for three years, spending many hundreds of thousands of our dollars of the town’s money unnecessarily trying to repress these poor proud Boardwalk performers, all due to ego. If it was their own money, they would have acted differently.

Every one of our performers that I have met are self-reliant, independent and, although poor, they are very proud of Ocean City and not on the government dole. Many of our visitors who came to Ocean City as children return with their kids and introduce them to the same performers.

Like the sand and surf, I hope they are indelibly etched into the future of Ocean City. We should all be proud of our boardwalk artists and performers.

Their presence makes us better.

I am very proud that I was able to help them, you should be proud of them too.

MDOT grant gives more than $30K for resort police

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) Keeping people safe is obviously a priority for the Ocean City Police Department, and the Maryland Department of Transportation recently allocated $30,019 as part of the 2019-2024 Consolidated Transportation Program for police in the hopes of doing just that.

Lindsay Richard, public information officer for the department, said the funds would go towards overtime for officers and bike safety lights in the hopes of addressing concerns on the island in an in-depth manner. She said the funds must be used by Sept.

30, 2019.

“Traffic safety issues, such as pedestrian and bicycle safety, are a top priority for us in Ocean City, but our officers don’t always have the time to address these issues between calls for service in the busy summer months,” Richard said in an email.

Richard said these funds would allow for officers to start a dialogue with bikers and pedestrians to ensure their safety on the streets of Ocean City.

“It allows the officer to stop and take time to educate citizens crossing the highway or biking unsafely,” Richard said.

The funds will also allow officers to take a proactive approach to prevent unsafe behavior.

“Our hope is that by stopping these individuals, we can correct their behavior without having to issue a citation,” Richard said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 68 to raise money for our Christmas show at the Performing Arts Center on Saturday December 15th at 4PM called Brian’s Christmas Songbook our goal is to raise over $20,000 from donors to keep the cost of the tickets to the show at $10 each.

You don’t see the Mid Atlantic Symphony Orchestra for $10, yet it is important to attract families and kids who otherwise would be unable to afford the show.

I am looking forward to seeing the voters on election day and giving each of you a flyer and a personal invitation to Brian’s Christmas Songbook.

I have been in many of your homes with one or more of my petitions over the last few years. It will be good to see you all again on Election Day, even if you didn’t sign my petition.

Mark Paddack retires from OCPD

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) OCPD Sgt. Mark Paddack shared tearful memories from decades on patrol during a City Council work session on Tuesday that also happened to be his last day with the force.

“I do have some words to say ... it’s going to take me a few minutes to get through this,” he said.

Paddack, who joined OCPD in 1990 and retired this week after nearly three decades in uniform, is currently campaigning for a City Council seat.

With his departure from the force at age 57, Paddack would finally be eligible to serve on the council.

“I think I did most of my crying this morning when I was putting together my uniform,” he said. “This is the last day I will wear this uniform.”

Earlier that day, Paddack said con-

versations with coworkers triggered a flood of emotions as he was “bawling, sitting in a police car on Coastal Highway, acting as a deterrent for speeders.”

It took a few years on patrol for Paddack to fully appreciate living in a small town that watches out for its own.

“I didn’t know until about eight-toten years on the job just how wonderful the Town of Ocean City and the citizens that live in it are,” he said. “As long as you’re willing to give the shirt off your back to help someone in this town, they will come back and help you.”

Paddack was overcome with emotion recalling two-dozen years serving on OCPD’s Quick Response Team.

“They serve a vital and critical role in the safety of this town and they don’t get enough credit for what they do,” he said.

“The guys that I served with, when the crap hits the fan and it’s for real, these

guys were going to have my back, or I was going to have their back.”

Paddack offered a parting gift for Mayor Rick Meehan.

“The first gift I would like to give back to the town ... is a pair of my handcuffs,” he said. “I’ve carried these handcuffs for 30 years. Back then we had to buy our own [but] today, through negotiations, the city provides us with handcuffs.”

Noting the innumerable wrists the cuffs have been around, Paddack offered the mayor one caveat.

“I want you to have these to hang in your office, [but] I don’t have a key for them,” he quipped.

Paddack said lending assistance to the community comes with one expectation.

“I’ll give you the shirt off my back, just don’t ever let me down,” he said. “I am now a citizen and no longer a policeman of Ocean City.”

County approves radio agreement

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) An agreement between the state and county to transmit programs from the state’s 700MHz radio system was unanimously approved during last Tuesday’s Worcester County Commissioners meeting.

Fred Webster, director of emergency services, said the proposal would allow select state radio programs of “mostly interoperable talk groups” to air on the county’s 700 MHz system.

“This formalizes an agreement to move forward with that and have those interoperable talk groups put into the all-county radios,” Webster said.

The state-run station, Maryland First Responder Radio System Team, allows for statewide communication in the event a situation warrants it, according to the Maryland Department of Information Technology website.

State police and other agencies operate the radio systems, according to the proposal. Personnel in Deep Creek Lake, in Western Maryland, can broadcast information to Ocean City, according to the state’s website.

Commissioner Chip Bertino made the motion to approve the agreement, which was seconded by Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw.

Community fundraises after fire

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) A crowdsourcing fundraiser for a displaced family after a house fire Sunday night netted more than $24,000.

A Facebook fundraiser page started Monday by 31-year-old Steffan Webster, of Salisbury, raised $24,175 as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the Facebook page.

He said he set a preliminary goal of $5,000, “thinking that was lofty,” but added his expectations were quickly exceeded.

“It’s kind of gone viral within our little community,” he said. “It’s been shared so many times.”

As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, there have been 382 people who’ve donated to the online campaign, according to the Facebook page. The post has also been

shared on a myriad of agency Facebook pages, including the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce and the Showell Volunteer Fire Department.

Webster said he met homeowner Lora Luzier through work and has known the family for about five years.

He spoke highly of the Lozier’s community involvement and said he wasn’t surprised “that people want to step up and help them.”

For Webster, he said the decision to create the fundraiser was “a no brainer.”

“Lora was always there for me whenever we were going through stuff,” he said. “So it’s the least I could do to then return the favor, and be there for her and her family when they needed it.”

The Showell Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire Sunday

night at the home on Murray Road in Whaleyville, according to a Facebook post. It took more than five hours to extinguish the flames, and the home sustained “severe damage.”

It’s unclear what caused the fire, but it started in the garage and moved into the home, according to the fire department’s Facebook post. Flames could be seen from the house as firefighters arrived.

Several agencies were then dispatched to the scene of the two-alarm fire including the Berlin Fire Company, Bishopville Volunteer Fire Department and the Ocean Pines Fire Department, according to fire officials.

To donate, visit the Luzier’s fundraising campaign website at www.facebook.com/donate/696659067374909/10156558161 666259.

WORLD WAR II

The Vienna Award, later declared null

by Treaty of Paris

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (Nov. 2, 2018) This week, 80 years ago, representatives of Czecho-Slovakia and the Kingdom of Hungary laid their conflicting territorial claims before the German and Italian foreign ministers for resolution.

This situation arose, like many of Europe’s problems, from the unfinished business of World War I. At the end of “The Great War,” the victorious Western European Nations imposed a peace upon the defeated Central Powers.

A different document was executed with each country. With Germany, it was the Treaty of Versailles. With Austria, it was the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. With Hungary, it was the Treaty of Trianon. With Bulgaria, it was the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine.

With the Turks, it was the Treaty of Lausanne.

These Treaties were meant to emasculate the defeated countries even further. All were stripped of territory and population, and made to pay reparations to the victors.

By the 1930s, the Kingdom of Hun-

Ocean City Today gary was ruled by Adm. Miklòs Horthy, whose title was, “His Serene Highness the Regent of The Kingdom of Hungary.” The admiral served as the regent for a nonexistent monarchy, in a country without a coast.

For much of the regent’s reign, during the inter-war years, the Hungarian government, like the German government, attempted to reverse provisions of the Treaty of Trianon. While the Germans focused the world’s attention on Czecho-Slovakian Sudetenland, the Hungarians were casting a covetous eye on much, if not all, of Slovakia.

For almost 900 years, Slovakia had been part of the Kingdom of Hungary.

As a matter of fact, after the Turks occupied Budapest in the 16th Century, the Hungarian capital was located in the City of Pozsony, or Pressburg in German —now known as Bratislava — the Capital of Slovakia.

Part of the “Munich Agreement” required Czecho-Slovakia to resolve territorial disputes with Hungary and Poland, regarding those areas of Czecho-Slovakia with substantial Hungarian and Polish populations. The disputes were to be resolved within three months of the execution of the Munich Agreement.

If not resolved within those three months, then the matters would be referred to arbitration, with the arbiters to be from Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom.

NOVEMBER 2, 2018

As the result of the Munich Agreement, Slovakia received autonomy on Oct. 6, and on Oct. 11 Sub-Carpathian Rus(Ruthenia) received the same status. Father Josef Tiso, a Catholic Priest, became prime minister of Slovakia and Avhustyn Voloshyn became the head of the Sub-Carpathian autonomous region. The Munich Agreement also changed the name from Czechoslovakia to Czecho-Slovakia to reflect the autonomy which Slovakia had acquired.

On Oct. 1, Hungary demanded that Czecho-Slovakia begin the contemplated negotiations. The negotiations took place in the Slovakian city of Komárno from Oct. 9 to Oct. 13, 1938.

Komárno is situated on the northern bank of the Danube, which constitutes the boundary between Hungary and Slovakia.

Before Trianon, Komárno had been part of the Hungarian City of Komárom which, until then, had occupied both sides of the Danube. Today, the city of Komárno has a population of 40,000, 60 percent of whom are Hungarians.

The negotiations occurred on a ship anchored in the Danube.

Representing the autonomous Government of Slovakia was Prime Minister Father Tiso, Minister of Justice Ferdinand Ďurčanský, and Gen. Rudolph Viest. The Central Government of Czecho-Slovakia was represented by Dr. Ivan Krno, the Political Director of the Ministry of Foreign Af-

fairs. Sub-Carpathian Rus was represented by Minister Ivan Párkányi, while the Hungarian delegation was led

by Foreign Minister Kálmán Kánya, and Minister of Education and future Prime Minister, Count Pál Teleki.

The Hungarian Delegation had been instructed not to negotiate, but rather to demand. The Hungarians demanded a portion of Slovakia that included 550,000 Hungarians and 432,000 Slovaks, which was about 23 percent of the total population. The Hungarians further demanded that the population of the remaining territory vote as to whether they wanted to be a part of Hungary. In the meantime, as a token of good will, the Czecho-Slovakian delegation offered the railway village of Slovenské Nové Mesto, which today has a population of less than 1,100, and the 700-year-old town of Šahy, on the border, which today has a population of 7,500. Both were occupied by Hungary on Oct. 12.

In response to the Hungarian demand, the Czecko-Slovaks offered to create an autonomous Hungarian territory within Slovakia. After that was rejected by the Hungarians as a “joke,” the Czecho-Slovakian delegation submitted several other proposals, which were also rejected.

Finally, on Oct. 13, the Hungarians declared the negotiations had failed and asked the four signatories of the Munich Agreement to adjudicate.

WORLD WAR II

When the United Kingdom and France decided not to participate, that left the arbiters as German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, who was also Mussolini’s sonin-law.

In the meantime, Hungary began to mobilize and Czecho-Slovakia declared “Martial Law” in the areas bordering Hungary. Foreign Minister Kánya told Hitler that Hungary was ready to fight.

Hitler replied that if Hungary began a war, nobody would help it, and that, under no circumstances, would Hungary receive Pressburg/Bratislava/Pozsony, because it was largely German and the Germans did not want to live under Hungarian rule. Of course, the Hungarians also recognized that any war could be disastrous for Hungary.

On Oct. 17, Poland weighed in with a proposal to partition Sub-Carpathian Rus among it, Hungary and Romania.

This idea was quickly rejected by Romania, which offered military support for Czecho-Slovakia (the Rumanians disliked the Hungarians, and were themselves wrangling with Hungary over Transylvania).

This area of Czecho-Slovakia was all that separated Poland and Hungary and both desired a common border.

However, Germany was unwilling to approve such a move, unless Poland gave up the Danzig Corridor, separating East Prussia from the rest of Ger-

Ocean City Today many, which it was not willing to do.

In the meantime, Czecho-Slovakia, on Oct. 22, made a substantial offer of territory to Hungary, which was rejected, after which Czecho-Slovakia agreed to arbitrate. On Oct. 29, 1938, Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary officially asked Germany and Italy to arbitrate and declared, in advance, that they would abide by the results of the arbitration.

At noon on Nov. 2, 1938, in the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, representatives from Czecko-Slovakia and Hungary began presenting their cases to Foreign Ministers Ribbentrop and Ciano. Making the case for Hungary was Foreign Minister Kánya and Education Minister Count Teleki.

Representing Czecho-Slovakia was its Foreign Minister, Frentišek Chvalkovský and Dr. Krno, now Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Sub-Carpathian Rus was represented by its Prime Minister Voloshyn, while Prime Minister Father Tiso and Justice Minister Durčanský appeared for Slovakia. Luftwaffe Field Marshal Hermann Göring was also present.

Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop prevented Prime Ministers Tiso and Voloshyn from speaking, since they were represented by Czecho-Slovakia, which presented its case primarily through Dr. Krno.

Prior to the arbitration, the Hungar-

ians had traveled to Rome and met with Count Ciano and convinced him that it was in Italy’s best interest to promote Hungary’s interests. The CzechoSlovaks had gone to Berlin, met with von Ribbentrop, and thought they had him in their pockets, and that he would be protecting their interests.

But when the two foreign ministers retired to deliberate, Count Ciano clearly had the upper hand in preparation and intelligence. When the two foreign ministers announced their decision, it was clear that von Ribbentrop had failed to protect the Czecho-Slovakian interests.

The award to Hungary was 7,411 square miles, containing approximately 1,060,000 inhabitants and included the City of Košice, which became the Hungarian city of Kassa, and which had been the second largest city in Slovakia.

When, in 1944, Hungary was occupied by German troops, the entire Jewish population of 12,000 was shipped out for “resettlement.” Today, it has a population of more than 225,000. It was also the burial place of Hungarian National Hero, Count Ferenc Rákóczi II. Although Czecho-Slovakia did retain the cities of Bratislava/Pozsony/Pressberg and Nitra, the bottom line was that Slovakia lost 21 percent of its territory, 20 percent of its industry, more than 30 per-

PAGE 77 cent of its arable land, 27 percent of its power stations, 28 percent of its extractable iron-ore, more than 50 percent of its vineyards, 35 percent of its swine, and 580 miles of railway tracks.

The Royal Hungarian Army moved in and occupied the area between Nov. 5 and Nov. 10, 1938. On Nov. 8, the Regent entered Kassa. The admiral related that, “As I passed along the roads, people embraced one another, fell upon their knees, and wept with joy because liberation had come to them at last, without war, without bloodshed.”

Within the month, all the Czechs had left Kassa and only about 12,000 Slovaks remained, with the rest of the population being Hungarian. On Nov. 12, 1938, the Hungarian Parliament enacted legislation incorporating the new territories into Hungary.

Now, Hungarians were in charge and the Slovaks and the remaining Czechs were in the minority and were treated as such. When, on March 14, 1939 Slovakia declared its independence, Hitler informed Hungary that it was allowed to occupy the rest of Carpathian Rus., but nothing more.

But it could not help itself.

On March 15, it occupied a small part of Slovakia. When that did not provoke any adverse response, it moved further, and on March 23 launched a larger attack on eastern Slovakia. Eventually the Germans made Continued on Page 80

He loved his wife of 66 years, his three children and three grandchildren.

He was kind, compassionate and was a man of faith. He was a small business owner with a strong work ethic that he instilled in his two daughters and son.

“Vinny” loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He had a boat and enjoyed hours on the waters of Greenwood Lake and Cape May. He was a craftsman with a wicked attention to detail. He made sure we all knew how to check the oil in our cars before a long trip.

Vinnie was proud of his Polish heritage and he and Adele made sure the Polish Club’s annual picnic was a huge success. He and Adele had wonderful friends and neighbors who brought love and laughter to their homes in Warwick, Cape May and Ocean City.

Vinny loved his John Wayne movies, a good Black Russian cocktail, and a good steak or any Polish cuisine.

Most of all, Vincent Lekoski was our dad who loved us very much.”

The Worcester Prep boys’ and girls’ cross country teams both won Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship titles last Wednesday on their home course in Berlin.

Worcester Prep XC squads win ESIAC championships

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) Worcester Prep runners dominated the girls’ and boys’ races last Wednesday during the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference cross country championship meet in Berlin.

“I think everybody got their best time of the season, if not, I think most got their personal best, which was fantastic,” Prep Coach Keith Geiger said. “It’s a great way to end the year when everyone’s running their best. That’s kind of what you want in sports, to finish the year strong.”

Worcester Prep, Delmarva Christian and Salisbury School participated in the meet. The top four runners to cross the finish line in the boys’ race were from Worcester.

Leading the pack was sophomore Graham McColgan. He completed the race in 17:56.

“I definitely wanted to get under 18 minutes, that was a goal of mine all season. I pushed it to my limits,” he said. “I feel like the whole team did really well overall.”

Finishing the boys’ race first earned McColgan the Runner of the Year award.

“My first year running to win that, I

feel like that’s a big deal,” he said. “It’s a great accomplishment. It’s super exciting.”

Coming in second through fourth place for the Mallards were sophomore Connor Carpenter (18:21), junior captain Enzo Zechiel (19:45) and junior Frank Carter (20:11).

Worcester’s fifth runner, junior Gavin Hentschel, crossed the finish line in seventh place overall (20:18).

Prep freshman Myranda Beebe won the girls’ competition in 21:43. She earned the female Runner of the Year award.

“I was thinking about that the whole time I was running. I just wanted to finish and do good, so I’m really proud,” she said. “It was so exciting. Just seeing everyone cheer was so cool. I was struggling in the first mile, but after that I felt pretty good throughout the whole thing.

I got a PR so I was happy about that, too.”

Rounding out the top five runners for Worcester were junior captain Ashley Laws (second, 23:42), junior Quinn McColgan (third, 23:45), senior captain Hannah Merritt (sixth, 25:22) and sophomore Anna Dashiell (eighth, 26:32).

The top six finishers in each race received All-Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference awards.

Worcester Prep sophomore Graham McColgan and freshman Myranda Beebe earned ESIAC Runner of the Year awards for winning their championship cross country races.

Geiger thought the season went well overall.

“We had a few injuries early on to some of the top runners, but I think other people stepped up and surprised me. People I didn’t quite expect started running better and better,” he said.

“They filled the gaps that were left by the injuries. Overall, it was a great year. Ending the year with everyone doing their personal best is what you want. It’s all you can really ask for.”

Only a handful of athletes will be

graduating, so both teams will return a majority of their top runners.

“I think we’ll be pretty strong next year,” Geiger said.

Both McColgan and Beebe said they were surprised to lead their respective squads throughout the season as young newcomers. They are looking forward to returning next season to do it again.

“I have a ton of friends on the team and a lot of people pushed me and motivated me and I hope I did the same for See McCOLGAN Page 82

WP girls’ soccer undefeated, ESIAC champs

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team finished undefeated, 11-0, this season and captured the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title.

“We played tough. It was a battle and I knew it was going to be a bat-

tle,” Prep Coach Carol Hartnett said after the Lady Mallards’ 2-1 victory over the Salisbury School Dragons in the ESIAC finals last Friday in Berlin.

“Every minute was fought as hard as the last minute. There wasn’t any letdown on either side.”

first half to give her team a 1-0 lead.

Salisbury evened the score about three minutes into the second half.

Junior Emily Copeland put Worcester back on top a minute later and the home team held on to win.

Senior captain, goalie Gracie Gardner, stopped seven Salisbury shots.

“It’s amazing. Last year we lost to Saints Peter & Paul in overtime, which was a tough loss, and this feels like redemption at its finest,” senior captain Delaney Abercrombie said.

“Everybody put in so much effort and I really saw it when we scored that first goal. I could just feel it. It was going to go our way.”

The team scored 58 goals this year and only gave up one – in the championship game. Hartnett said to end the season undefeated is “huge.”

“It was a perfect season. It does not happen,” Hartnett said. “As I told them when we were taking a picture after the game, just savor this because these moments do not come often in life, just enjoy it and have a great weekend and think of all the hard work you’ve done since August to get here.”

Several Mallards received AllEastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference awards.

Gardner was named Player of the Year.

“It’s so exciting. It’s just an honor to even be nominated, and to win, is amazing,” Gardner said. “It was the support from my teammates. If I hadn’t had them in front of me I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this, especially the one goal.”

Gardner, Abercrombie, Copeland, senior captain Alannah Curtis, junior Mesa Cammack and freshman Morgan White were presented All-Conference awards. Brushmiller took home an ESIAC honorable mention

award.

Brushmiller was Worcester’s high scorer this year with 18 goals. Abercrombie was second with 14 goals.

“Coach H has been an awesome coach, Coach [Allison Bescak] as well,” Abercrombie said. “I’ve learned a lot from them and I’m really going See WP Page 83

McColgan, Beebe win races to earn Runner of the Year Continued from Page 81 them,” McColgan said. “I knew there were good runners. I definitely wanted to be up there. I knew I had the potential to be a top runner so I pushed myself a lot all year. I’m looking forward to coming back and hopefully improve.”

“Everyone is really supportive of each other and everyone’s a big family, so it’s so much fun being around everyone,” Beebe said. “It was weird as a freshman [to lead the girls] because I expected to be one of the slower people on the team, then I was like ‘whoa,’ I didn’t expect that.”

Geiger was also pleasantly surprised by the young runners’ performance.

“I think Graham and Myranda are really impressive. They really work hard and they’ve been getting better and better by a lot,” Geiger said. “It’s harder to get better and better when you’re the best runner. It becomes increasingly harder to cut seconds off the time but they’ve been able to do it.

“And Connor Carpenter too. Those three are always at practice – I don’t think any of them have missed a practice the whole year,” he continued. “They haven’t taken any runs off and it shows because they’re the best runners and they set a good example for everyone.”

Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team goalie, senior captain Gracie Gardner, received the ESIAC Player of the Year award.

WP goalie Gracie Gardner named Player of the Year Continued from Page 82 to miss it. Soccer Island is a special place.”

Gardner finished with 48 saves this season.

“It’s a special place Worcester Prep, especially the soccer program,” Gardner continued. “I just want to thank my coaches, especially Miss B for always warming me up and Miss H for always having confidence in me.”

Hartnett said she would sum up the season the way the Mallards started – “working hard, playing hard and succeeding together.”

“That’s what it’s been from the beginning,” she added. “When I talked to them the other day, I said ‘this is why we were out here in 90-degree weather, drilling and training and coming together as a team.’”

The team will graduate four seniors and major contributors – Gardner, Abercrombie, Curtis and Chloe Ruddo.

“It’s going to look different next year because we’re losing leadership at every level,” Hartnett said. “There were strikers, low D, goalie, we’re going to lose from every level but like the seven that graduated last year, they’ve prepared the other girls to step up. They’ll pass the baton to someone else.”

Hartnett’s roster this year consisted of four seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and 14 freshmen. All of the girls got playing time and contributed to the success of the season.

“It was just a perfect season,” Hartnett said. “They’re a great group of girls and I was lucky to have the chance to work with them. The season went by in a blink. It was awesome.”

WP field hockey squad improves from ‘17 season

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) The Worcester Prep field hockey team fought hard until the end, but came up a bit short to the Holly Grove Eagles, 3-1, in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship last Friday in Westover.

“The girls played much better the second half, and we had a lot of shots and offensive possession, we just didn’t score,” Prep Coach Katie Oxenreider said. “In a tough game like that you have to take every scoring chance you have and, unfortunately, they finished their chances more than we did. I was really proud of them for not letting down and fighting back to the end – we just came up short.”

Holly Grove led 1-0 in the first half. The Eagles went up 2-0, and then Prep senior captain Hailee Arrington cut the advantage to one goal with about 10 minutes remaining in the game. Holly Grove secured the victory with a goal in the final minutes.

Prep junior goalie Aly Matha recorded 10 saves.

Worcester finished the season with a 12-6 record, “a huge improvement having only won two games last year,” Oxenreider said.

“This senior group really helped get us on track for a winning season this year,” she added. “The six seniors were all starters and big contributors to our team this year so they will definitely be missed, but they helped our younger players learn and grow this year to be ready for next year.”

Several Lady Mallards were presented Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference awards.

Arrington was named Player of the Year.

“It is really exciting to be named Player of the Year. I think it is an amazing honor considering all the great players in the ESIAC,” Arrington said. “Being chosen out of everyone is such an accomplishment. I

think I was chosen because I’m a team player and I demonstrate all the skills I have worked hard to obtain.”

Arrington, senior captain Virginia Bateman and juniors Abbi Nechay, a team captain, Rylie Carey and Hana Miller earned All-ESIAC honors. Senior Maya Natesan received honorable mention distinction.

“We didn’t win the ESIAC, but improved so much from last year that it is still a great achievement and I had so much fun doing it,” Arrington said.

“It was in total an amazing experience [playing for Worcester for four years] and I had so much fun making amazing friendships and memories.”

Arrington finished with 18 goals and 10 assists this year. For her career, she tallied 45 goals and had 27 assists.

Nechay was second in scoring this season with 10 goals. She also had seven assists. Natesan recorded nine goals and four assists. Miller and Carey both scored seven goals and had two and eight assists, respectively.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team shut out the Salisbury School Dragons, 2-0, last Friday in Berlin to win the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship.

“They played really, really well,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said.

“They played defensively organized, defensively intense.”

Underkoffler thought the back three defenders held their ground.

“The Michael [Wehberg]-Henry [Taboh]-Owen [Tunis] combination did really well,” he said. “I thought our holding midfield did a great job containing their central midfield and that was a key element we didn’t do the first two games with them, so that was a tactical change we did.

“We had Graham Hammond, [and] at times Cole Berry or Mason Brown, playing in that defensive midfield spot in front of the back three and they did wonderful,” Underkoffler added.

He said his players broke down Salisbury’s attack so the squad couldn’t organize.

After a scoreless firsts half, Prep sophomore captain Vincent Petrera netted a shot about five minutes into the second half. He tallied his second goal with two and a half minutes remaining in the game.

“Vincent is such a dynamic forward.

He’s hard to keep off the scoreboard,” Underkoffler said. “He is just a hard person to stop and our other players up top kept attacking, putting pressure on them. They kept giving us attacking options besides Vincent.”

Prep senior captain, goalie Cooper Richins, recorded seven saves.

Petrera, after the game, said he was excited to win the championship and to be able to lead his team to victory.

“It’s definitely a team effort,” he said. “No one gave up and everyone was working as hard as they could, 110 percent.”

Worcester finished the season with

a 12-2-2 record. Several Mallards earned All-Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference awards.

Petrera was named Conference Player of the Year. He broke the school record for goals in a single season during the ESIAC semifinals. He finished the year with 39 goals and six assists.

“It’s a good achievement, but I definitely could not have gotten it without everyone on the team,” Petrera said. “I think the coaching is really good, and just hard work in preseason. We all just continued to work the entire season.”

Petrera, Richins, Wehberg, a freshman, Taboh, a senior captain, Hammond, a senior, and senior Aiden Mullins earned All-Conference honors.

Berry, a senior captain, was presented honorable mention accolades.

Mullins was second on the team in scoring with six goals. He also has six assists. Berry and senior Thomas Fager scored five goals each.

Richins recorded seven shutouts with 121 saves in 16 games.

Decatur golfers have successful yr. with Stearman

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) Four golfers represented Stephen Decatur during the state championship last week at University of Maryland – College Park.

Junior Brady Leonard and seniors Emily Malinowski and Hayden Snelsire, team captains, and Joe Beck competed.

Malinowski and Snelsire made their third state appearance. It was Leonard’s second time playing in the tournament and Beck’s first.

The opening round for 3A/4A schools was last Monday and the 2A/1A schools competed on Tuesday.

The top-40 percent of the teams advanced to the final round on Wednesday.

Leonard shot an 89, while Malinowski, Snelsire and Beck tallied 92, 96 and 101, respectively. They did not advance to the championship round.

“We struggled with the wind and cold and the course layout,” Decatur Coach Dan Stearman said.

Despite the challenges, Stearman was very proud of them and thought they all had a great experience.

During the regular season, Decatur finished in first place nine times and in second three times.

“I think the season went great,” Stearman said. “We had contributions from everyone and the top players really performed like I thought they would, especially Emily Malinowski, Hayden Snelsire and Brady Leonard.”

Decatur also won the District VIII tournament this year. The Seahawks

came up one stroke short to Kent Island during the Bayside Conference championship.

Stearman said he enjoyed his first season as head coach.

“The kids were great and the season was exciting, and winning the district and Bayside South exceeded my expectations as a first-year coach,” he said.

Leonard, Malinowski and Snelsire earned All-Bayside Conference honors. Junior Blake Marshall was presented Second Team accolades and Beck an honorable mention award.

The team will graduate five seniors.

“We have Brady Leonard and Blake Marshall returning with a good group of players coming up from the JV,” Stearman said. “My expectations for next year is to continue to

build the program and contend for the Bayside and district again.”

Continued from Page 84 “We improved the whole season.

When you go into coaching a season that’s what you hope for,” Underkoffler said. “I have to say, I would not have envisioned us playing this style, this fast, with this intensity after watching them the first four days in August. I would guess we would have been 7-3, 6-4, and hope to get into the playoffs, but they came around.”

The team will graduate 10 seniors, all of whom were major contributors.

“We’ll rebuild again, with a different group, different mix, but hopefully the same formula,” he said. “One thing I love about this school, these players and how they go about their businesses, is that they listen, they try, they implement, they learn, they grow, they’re willing to try different things, and in the end, they just all buy into each other. It’s just a team-first mentality and it’s refreshing.”

Wor. Prep volleyball players’ skills and ability improve

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) Despite only winning a couple matches, players on the Worcester Prep volleyball team improved and learned throughout the season.

“Overall, we grew a lot as a team in our skills and ability,” Prep Coach Cheryl Brown said. “For example, the two wins we had were both against Salisbury Christian school. On Sept. 26, we played five total games to fight for our win. When we played them again on Oct. 17, we won in three games.”

Worcester lost in three games in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference semifinals to the Holly Grove Eagles in Westover, last Wednesday.

The Prep squad finished the season with a 2-12 record. The season began on Aug. 15 and Brown, the then assistant coach, took over as head coach,

Sept. 26, after the Lady Mallards had played six matches.

“I enjoyed every minute learning and growing with them,” she said.

The team will graduate three seniors – captains Hailey Merritt and Maria Deckmann, and Julia Godwin, who were all main contributors.

Their aces, digs, assists, kills and blocks stats for the season were: Merritt - 48, 19, 49, 52, 14; Godwin - 30, 9, 4, 32, 12; and Deckmann - 4, 7, 53, 22, 10.

Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference awards were presented to Merritt and Godwin. Sophomore Maddy Warren earned honorable mention accolades.

“We will have a solid group of juniors (four) and sophomores (nine) moving up to take leadership roles [next year],” Brown said. “It is expected that most players will come back to play another season.”

Decatur volleyball players prepare for regional tourney

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 2, 2018) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team received the No. 3 seed and a first-round bye in Section II of the 3A East Region tournament.

The Lady Seahawks will travel to Pasadena to battle the second-seeded Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel on Monday at 5 p.m.

“We are working on serve receive and blocking [this week],” Decatur Coach Sara Patrick said on Monday.

Decatur finished the regular season with a 6-9 record.

“We need to pass to the target and get our serves in,” Patrick said. “I’m hopeful we will make it through the first round.

Northeast hasn’t been very competitive in the past.

I’m not sure how they are this year.”

The winner will Sara Patrick face either No. 1 James M. Bennett or No. 4 Chesapeake of Anne Arundel, on Wednesday. Those two teams are slated to go head-to-head on Monday as well.
