Election scramble heads to finish line In four days, it’s over and everyone can go back to normal breathing patterns
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Whether it will end with a bang or a whimper remains to be seen, but the national – and Ocean City’s – political season will conclude next Tuesday, when residents locally
choose their City Council members on the municipal ballot and then join millions of other voters across the state and nation to select the next president. Ocean City times its municipal election to coincide with the national contest, and voters will find both ballots at the Roland Powell Convention Center between 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., albeit in separate locations. Ocean City-only balloting will take
place in Exhibit Hall A, where voters may vote for four City Council members out of five candidates —incumbents Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, Tony DeLuca and Mary Knight and challenger John Gehrig. Mayor Rick Meehan is running unopposed for his sixth consecutive term. The mayor is elected to a twoyear term, while council members serve for four years. Results for the municipal election
are expected to be announced roughly an hour or two after the polls close at 8 p.m. There are no referendum questions on the Ocean City ballot this year, despite a push from the Chapter 4269 of the International Association of Fire Fighters to amend the city charter.

Neighborhood safety aided by cop cars City Council backs more take-home vehicles for police who reside in OC
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) After weighing the costs and benefits for the resort’s residents, the Ocean City Council on Tuesday agreed to consider expanding a police program that would put more patrol vehicles in residential neighborhoods year-round. After a series of closed-door discussions during the Police Commission’s sessions, OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro and Lt. Todd Wood presented their case to buy additional cars for the YearRound Saturation Patrol Program. The program, in its 20th year, allows officers who live within city limits to take home a patrol car during certain times of the year, usually in the off-season. At the moment, six officers live in Ocean City and participate in the saturation program. Three additional officers will become eligible for the program next year after they complete their training and clear their probationary period. Assuming the results are satisfactory, the purchase of those vehicles would have to be considered in the fiscal year 2018 budget. “Unfortunately in the summer See DISCUSSION Page 7

County liquor stores: another one bites the dust By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Worcester County government continued its exit from the liquor dispensary business following the county commissioners’ approval of a sublease agreement for
the Shore Spirits retail store on 16th Street and a price reduction for slowmoving inventory at its meeting on Tuesday. The commissioners approved lowering prices on its remaining liquor stock based on a request from Laura
Burns Reinhart, Department of Liquor Control interim director, who asked to further drop prices on slow moving inventory. “These products generally include craft liquors and wines,” she said. See SHORE Page 13

Council campaign trail filled with lawn signs Candidates lobby for votes online, print ads, in person last-minute in local election
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Nov. 4 2016) After months of looking as if there would be no municipal election because of the absence of competition, Ocean City’s yards and curbsides suddenly began to sprout political signs after a lastminute filing prompted a campaign scramble by four incumbent council members and their one challenger. Only a day or so after D3 Corp owner John Gehrig filed his council candidacy documents just minutes before the filing deadline, re-election signs for incumbents Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, Mary Knight and Tony DeLuca began to appear. Gehrig campaign banners turned up in multiple locations not long thereafter. “Has there been a scramble? No. But there’s things that we wouldn’t have to spend money on if there was an uncontested election, like on advertising in newspapers,” incumbent Councilman Dare said. But as for the lawn signs, Dare said that he hasn’t spent a dime on those. Like Cymek, Knight and DeLuca, he has signs from past elections. For the last two weeks, Dare was out with a team of volunteers and paid help getting his name out. Dare typically installs the larger plywood signs along the resort’s roads. “I know how to run a post hole digger. But no, I saved my signs from the last election some reason,” he said. DeLuca and Knight put up their signs on their own in, usually clustering them with those of the other incumbents. Knight did hire some people to put up the four-feet-tall signs, but mostly she and her husband and campaign manager, Frank Knight, put up the smaller ones. “I knew it was a national election season and the turnaround is two and a half weeks, so I ordered my signs two months in advance. You do lose some signs along the way,”

Gehrig began with a few banners and signs peppered throughout the island initially, and built on that as time passed. “Everything was last minute, like getting signs together, so I guess I’m technically late,” he said. “I wasn’t going to put any signs out because I thought it looks junky, but the residents need to see I’m interested. I need to show I’m in it to win it.” In addition, Gehrig has a “Vote John Gehrig” Facebook page, similar to Cymek, Dare, DeLuca and Knight’s re-election Facebook groups. See NOMINEE Page 4

No referendum questions on local ballot Continued from Page 1 tives broke down in February over a change in the shift structure, leading to union to pursue the addition of a binding interest arbitration clause to its contract. To do that, the IAFF launched a petition to gain the requisite number of signatures — 20 percent of registered voters — to bring the matter to referendum. The union has yet to reach the mark, according to a statement released last week by Fire Union President Ryan Whittington. Another referendum question that will not appear on the municipal ballot is whether to return the resort’s property tax to 38 cents per $100 of assessed value.
A group called the Ocean City Taxpayers for Social Justice submitted a petition with 1,500 signatures in 2015. In response, Ocean City sought judicial review of the petition’s validity in Worcester County Circuit Court. The petitioners countered by filing a complaint with the federal courts. A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the claim, citing lack of jurisdiction, and sent it back to the county court. Last spring, a Worcester County Circuit Court judge ruled favorably on the council’s motion for summary judgment, thus dismissing the case. The petition’s request for an appeal was also denied, thus ending any motion to put the tax rollback on
the ballot. Once Ocean City residents are finished with the local election, they can go to Exhibit Hall B to vote in the general election. Like the rest of Worcester County, will also be asked to choose between four nominees for president. For the major political parties, Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton represent the Republican and Democrat tickets, respectively. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnston and Green Party candidate Jill Stein will also appear on the ballot. Worcester County residents can also vote in the senatorial election, as incumbent Barbara Mikulski is retiring. Three candidates will appear on
the ballot in that race: Republican Kathy Szeliga, Democrat Chris Van Hollen and Green Party member Margret Flowers. First District Congressman Andy Harris (R) is up for re-election this cycle and faces off Democratic challenger Joe Werner and Libertarian nominee Matt Beers. The Worcester County School Board is having an election for Districts 2, 3 and 5. In District 3, longtime incumbent Sara Thompson is facing Francis Gebhart. Elena McComas and Tom Terry are both running for District 5 seat. Barry Q. Brittingham has no competition for the open seat for District 2.
Nominee spending kept low during this cycle Continued from Page 3 As for his Gehrig’s strategy, “I’m keeping it close to the vest, but people need to know that I’m an independent mind and a qualified choice. I’m out around town a lot for business and I’ve gotten a lot of support. The four incumbents and Mayor Rick Meehan were scheduled to be at a meet-and-greet event at the Crab-
cake Factory Seafood House near 120th Street on Thursday, while Gehrig was to host a meet-and-greet at the Greene Turtle at 11601 Coastal Highway the same day. Midpoint campaign filings show that the candidates are spending some money in this campaign, although nothing like what has been done in the past, when the run-up to the vote was months, rather than
weeks. At this point, DeLuca is running the costliest the costliest campaign with a total outlay of $3,534, but has broken even with the same amount in cash contributions. Knight comes in second with expenses at $2,706.53, including outstanding obligations. Cymek has spent $2,549.52, including in-kind contributions, so far

Council nominees, mayor speak out at forum Locals pepper incumbents and political challenger with questions at meet-and-greet By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) It’s not a debate, but it was the closest thing Ocean City had to one. Scores of people turned out for the American Legion Synepuxent Post 166’s meet-and-greet of the five City Council candidates and unopposed Mayor Rick Meehan Tuesday evening at its 24th Street facility, and peppered them with questions. With the election a week away, incumbents Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, Tony DeLuca and Mary Knight and challenger John Gehrig campaigned in a more intimate setting in the Legion’s community room. After a social hour, the candidates took questions from the crowd. The biggest issue that was on the audience’s mind was OC BikeFest and H2Oi International Volkswagen and Audi festival and the disruption both events cause for year-round residents. While BikeFest is held in Ocean City, H2Oi is staged out of town by its promoter, although many of its participants do take to Coastal Highway. The majority of the candidates stood behind supporting BikeFest, including three incumbents who agreed to fund the event an additional $10,000 back in September. “BikeFest is here for a day or a two, they come into town, stay in hotels and eat in nice restaurants and then they drive out of Ocean City,” Knight said. “They don’t go up and down Coastal Highway, H2O does and it causes havoc. I see that you [the audience] are not a fan of the
biker events, but they just go out of town.” Dare agreed with Knight, and suggested stricter regulations on both events. “We don’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. There’s some people that come in disrespect the town and our laws,” he said. “We tried a few things to discourage them, like trailer permits and bringing in 70 additional police officers.” DeLuca and Cymek took a harder stance on the events, with DeLuca saying that if stepping up enforcement of H2Oi didn’t control it, then he would get rid of it. Cymek on the other hand, implied that he was looking into changing BikeFest. “The promoter caters to one segment of society and a lot of the bad ones come with it. It costs us money and we’re currently working on things at a Police Commission level. I ask you to have a little patience,” Cymek said. Gehrig talked about the issue for roughly four minutes. He began by telling the audience that they would hear that he was for the bikers since he is the vice chairman of the Tourism Advisory Board. “I didn’t vote for anything. These guys voted unanimously to support funding for BikeFest,” said Gehrig, who came to the council on behalf of the TAB to request additional funding two months ago. He also said that there were bad apples that spoil the bunch, but that if some people could not come to these motor events, then none of them would come. “We need to create tourism ideas that bring people to town. Everything has a life, so we need to find successful promoters to bring family-friendly events to town, spread out the impact throughout the county and businesses,” he said.
Home is wherree your
Stbetoegi ry ns .. ns.
Meehan said that he and the city council were actively looking to replace H2Oi and discourage criminal activity at other events. “I can tell you we are not sanctioning any motorized events,” Meehan said. Moving onto a different topic, Cymek answered a question on how to prevent another large-scale fight on the Boardwalk, which was later tied to a College Beach Weekend “takeover” event. “Our intel in the police department are monitoring social media and knowing where these events are moving within the town. We know key people tied to the events who are identified with troublemakers. We are way ahead of the curve,” he said. Gehrig also provided a quick sound bite on the matter.
“I’m going to borrow a line from Donald Trump: we’re not going to tell them what we’re going to do, we’re just going to be ready for them next time,” he said. Other questions included Coastal Highway’s tendency to flood and whether the city would ever return to recycling. Meehan answered that last question. “Around 2008, we were looking to reorganize business during difficult times. Our waste is now transferred to an energy facility to be burned and create energy,” he said. “We save about $1.38 million a year and we’re better able to accommodate the environment with the need in the landfill and provide for the Maryland Coastal Bays Program and we still provide free waste pick up for the community.”

Discussion on OCPD program will continue at budget talks Continued from Page 1 months, we don’t have the number of vehicles available to do this year-round because of the influx of our personnel,” Wood said. “This [five vehicles] will help us provide for a year-round program.” The cost of the five patrol cars is projected to be $241,545. Each car costs roughly $27,890 and the equipment, such as a radio or computer systems, comes in at $20,424. “Like with anything, there’s a higher upfront cost, but with the longevity of vehicles, you’re going to see a reduction in maintenance costs,” Wood said. “Since they’re assigned to one person, they take better care of it, rather than a fleet vehicle that’s driven by several people in the course of a week due to shift changes. Obviously the program increases morale, since these guys take great pride in their cars since it’s their car.” According to a study shown of similar programs, take-home vehicles last up to six years. By comparison, a fleet vehicle’s life is three years. The department keeps its vehicles somewhere between eight to 12 years before putting them up for sale on government equipment sale websites. Wood said that since older vehicles have higher mileage and maintenance issues, the city would see a lesser return than on vehicles in the take-home program. He also pointed out that the program increases the police’s productivity, since officers are not wasting time during shift transitions or waiting for an available fleet car. Officers could just leave directly from home. “It also makes it easier for officers to jump right into a car with their equipment and go to a scene. For emergency response, boom. They’re good to go,” Wood said. But the most convincing argument to the council was how it could benefit public safety. “There’s no statistical data, but it deals with criminal activity in neighborhoods,” Wood added. “When you have vehicles in neighborhoods, the bad guys and citizens see it and know a police officer is there. Maybe it’s parked in different locations and they never know when that officer is coming or going.”
Councilman Doug Cymek voiced his support to fund the additional cars, as he has benefited from a police car parking in his neighborhood. “There’s been time when children have been nearly struck by racing vehicles because they don’t realize it’s a dead-end street,” Cymek said. “This provides a reason for people to slow down. I urge [the council] to support this at budget time.” Councilman Wayne Hartman said that he was surprised at the equipment costs for each new vehicle and asked if that could be transferred to newer vehicles. He also asked whether a newer take-home car would stay with a designated officer throughout its life or be cycled throughout the fleet. Wood said tools, like computers, are reused from car to car, but sometimes radios from older models of cars cannot be transferred. As for the newer vehicles, those would eventually transition to general use. “What I’m planning is that someone keeps it for five years and then it’s rolled back to the fleet, because I already know it’s been taken care of,” he said. “Then I can get rid of a fleet vehicle that’s exceeded its life.” “I agree with that,” Hartman responded. “The cars would have longevity and get the premium care for the first five years. It also encourages officers to live in town because they’re going to get the shiny new toy.” The council voted unanimously to consider expanding the Saturation Patrol Program during budget discussions in April.
Correction The Oct. 21 article “County to hold hearing on stronger chicken house regs,” incorrectly reported that the Worcester County Commissioners had scheduled a public hearing on the matter for Nov. 18. The commissioners took no action on the request and no hearing was scheduled.

Wor. Board of Education has pair of seats being contested District 3 race pits longtime member Thompson against Common Core critic Gebhart By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) In addition to the contentious presidential election this Tuesday, Nov. 8, voters will have five candidates to consider for the Worcester County Board of Education. The Board of Education makes policies, rules, regulates conduct, prepares budgets and manages the entire public school system in Worcester County. The goal is to provide the best education possible for every student in all 14 schools. The seven Board of Education members, along with the sytem’s top administrators, are responsible for appointing the superintendent of schools, determining educational and instructional policies, maintaining programs on educating children with disabilities, appointing personnel, establishing salaries, designating school attendance policies, adopting a school calendar and approving curriculum materials. Public school board meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of every month in Newark at 12:30 p.m., where instructional programs are presented, and discussions range from
building maintenance to the operating budget and construction of schools. The two contenders for the Worcester County Board of Education District 3 seat are incumbent Sara Thompson and Francis Gebhart. Meanwhile, in District 5, Tom Terry will face Elena McComas. Thompson, who has been on the board for more than 22 years, is the longest serving board of education member in Maryland. “I like what I do,” Thompson said. “I love the kids and working with everybody.” She said encouragement from constituents and community members asking her to not give up the school board led to her decision to run for reelection. She wants to see a replacement school for Showell Elementary, continue with the digital conversion initiative, and add a turf football field to Stephen Decatur High School. “My goal is to continue to see that every child in the county gets a good education, with excellent teachers and safe buildings,” Thompson said. Challenger Francis Gebhart said he believes in a curriculum that incorporates family and local community values, instead of adopting Common Core policies from state or federal government officials. “I oppose the federal government

In District 5, voters weighing educator versus businessman mandated Common Core curriculum being applied to local education, and question any educational benefit of excessive and burdensome testing that is associated with Common Core,” Gebhart said. Gebhart said he also is concerned with the data being collected on students and who has access to the information. In addition, he thinks there should be more community transparency from the school board and administration, by holding quarterly town hall meetings and having school board meetings recorded and posted online. “Each year, Worcester County spends over $17,000 per student,” Gebhart said. “This is the highest per-student spending in the state of Maryland. Yet, according to usnews.com, Stephen Decatur High School ranks number 57 [out of 244] in the state. Why?” District 3 polling places include Ocean City Elementary School, the OC Lions Club on Airport Road in West Ocean City and Berlin Intermediate School. McComas, who is running for the District 5 seat, has been a teacher for 30 years. “As priorities have shifted in the educational world, the lives of both our students and teachers have been affected, not always in a positive manner,” McComas said. “I hope to add another diverse set of opinions to our school board based on my experience and knowledge.” She vowed to listen to all concerns and ideas from teachers, students and all members of the community, regarding Worcester County schools. “Education makes up 50 percent of our county budget,” McComas said. “Although our present board has done an admirable job, we need to pay closer attention to details in spending our money more wisely, particularly with school construction.” McComas believes teachers are the most valuable resource, and deserve to receive fair compensation for their time and commitment to their students. “Our school board must honor con-
tracts,” McComas said. “To not live up to step increases – already promised – is wrong. Hopefully, this can be addressed in future years.” Terry believes an educational system is the foundation for a having high quality of life, and is a huge component to supporting positive development. “Individual and community interest and attention to education is critical to the system having access to the tools and resources it needs,” Terry said. “An educational system requires diversity of input from those outside its professional educational circles, to assure broader linkages to the community and resources are present to drive maximum success.” Terry promised to listen and work with a broad range of people from across the community, to assure investments in education are used properly. “We must continue to find those areas needing improvement,” Terry said. “Another of my interests comes from my educational background in having a masters in technology management.” He spent more than 30 years in the technology business sector, and said he will use his background to support ongoing advancements in digital equipment and student access to tools needed for job preparation. “It is my hope to bring years of business experience in crafting and managing multimillion dollar budgets, serving in leadership roles directing professionals, and overseeing a wide range of departments and functions,” Terry said. “My ultimate passion is to support the education of our communities’ youth. We must graduate young people who are aware of the need for lifelong learning, but are prepared for their chosen next steps in life.” District 5 polling places are at the Ocean Pines Library and the Community Church in Ocean Pines. Barry Brittingham is running unopposed for the District 2 seat with polling places at Shiloh Methodist Church in Pocomoke, Snow Hill Middle School, the Newark Fire Company, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Berlin and Stephen Decatur Middle School.

OC public works beginning offseason sewer pipe repairs (Nov. 4, 2016) The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will be conducting assessment and repair work on underground sewer pipes during the offseason. This work was scheduled to begin on Nov. 1. During this time, residents may observe public works vehicles or private contractor vehicles, as well as personnel, working in and around sewer manholes in Ocean City neighborhoods. In some instances traffic diversion measures may be needed in order to allow for access to the manholes and underground pipes.
The initial assessment phase is scheduled for Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. After the assessment has been completed, specific repairs, including lining, repairs, removal and replacement, will be conducted as necessary. The repair phase of the project will take place from Jan. 1 to May 31, 2017. This is the first year of a planned five-year project that will result in the complete assessment and rehabilitation of the town’s underground sewer collection system. For questions or concerns about this project, contact the Public Works Wastewater Division at 410-524-6760.

Shore Spirits prices slashed, sublease settled Continued from Page 1 Reinhart also noted the remaining inventory includes several vodka brands of different flavors. “It is these items that I would like to ask approval to further discount the sale price of up to 40 percent off of the DLC’s cost as determined by the Liquor Control Management Committee,” she said. In light of the upcoming holiday season, Reinhart believes the time is right for aggressive price drops. “I am hopeful the further discounting will help us to liquidate this inventory over the next two months while we have elevated foot traffic in our stores,” she said. The commissioners also signed off on a sublease agreement for the Worcester County Shore Spirits retail liquor store on 16th Street. On Oct. 11, the county opened the sole bid received from a request for proposal to sublease the 4,300-square-foot facility. The county’s current lease runs through February 2024. Richard Smith has proposed to assume the county’s current monthly lease of $7,642 with an additional $1 monthly fee to the county. Also as
part of the agreement, Smith will purchase the store’s remaining inventory, valued at more than $250,000 at 10 percent above the county’s cost. The sublease agreement is contingent on a proposed partnership between Smith and Mrs. Azezeh Ramadan, who holds a Class “A” beer and wine liquor license at the Village Market on 18th Street, which she has operated since 1999. The pair seeks to apply for an upgraded Class “A” beer, wine and liquor license at the 18th Street location, at which point the 16th Street location would be closed, with its inventory relocated to the 18th Street operation. Smith is negotiating with 16th Street landlord Tony Christ to buy out the lease, which runs for a little more than seven more years. This buyout would allow Christ to lease the space to another tenant. If this agreement can’t be reached, Smith has agreed to assume the county’s lease agreement through 2024 and would consider his options for developing the space for retail business. An irrevocable letter of credit from
SUNSET ISL AND
Hebron Savings Bank for $80,904 was included in Smith’s bid, which the county requested be doubled to $161,808. That would cover the entire 24 months of lease payments in the event of default. After reviewing Smith’s 40-year record of owning and operating numerous area businesses, the Department of Liquor Control Management Committee recommended accepting
Smith’s proposal. As part of the agreement, Smith will receive the commissioners’ approval to apply with Ramadan for an upgraded Class “A” license at Village Market on 18th Street. Upon approval and activation of the expanded Class “A” license at the 18th Street location, Smith would relocate the 16th Street inventory to Ramadan’s location.

Incoming school super’s first day has million-dollar kickoff Design funding for Showell Elem. project approved by Wor. County Commissioners
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Lou Taylor, Worcester County School’s new (interim) superintendent, took the reins on Tuesday and appears to already have established a strong working relationship with the Worcester County Commissioners. During their meeting on Tuesday, the commissioners warmly congratulated Taylor for his three-decade ascent through the Worcester school system, and unanimously approved previously contested funding of $1.6 million to complete conceptual design plans for a new Showell Elementary School. “It’s an honor for me on my first day as superintendent to move this (project) forward,” he said. The commissioners deadlocked 33 on the $1.6 million funding request during their Sept. 20 meeting, with Commissioners Diana Purnell, Chip Bertino and Jim Bunting in opposition at that time. Commissioner Ted Elder was not present for the vote. Over the last month of negotiations, Taylor said project cost esti-
mates of $45.9 million have been reduced to $42.2 million, which, after factoring in a state allowance of $7.5 million, drops the project cost to $34.7 million. This would be well under the $37 million estimate the commissioners approved in October 2015. Taylor also received unanimous commissioner approval for the school system’s fiscal year 2018 Capitol Improvement Program, a planning document that highlights upcoming school projects. “The CIP is a forward-looking document and we have identified projects to follow Showell in the future, including an addition at Stephen Decatur Middle School and roof replacement projects at Snow Hill and Pocomoke middle schools,” he said. “Verification that the commissioners have approved the plan is required by the state no later than Nov. 28.” Taylor said the CIP is consistent with the county’s 10-year capital improvement plan and complies with the state’s Interagency Committee for School Construction (IAC) regulations. “We will be meeting with the IAC this Friday to review the CIP and we will forward our CIP to the state,” he said.

Lou Taylor grateful for strong working county partnership Continued from Page 14 The proposed addition at Stephen Decatur Middle will eliminate the need for nine portable classrooms currently in use at the school, which ties Showell Elementary for the most among county schools. Buckingham Elementary and Snow Hill Elementary are the next on the list with five portable classrooms each. “At this time, we envision a transition from major school construction projects to an emphasis on smaller systemic projects as we move forward with our construction planning,” he said. With one eye looking forward, Taylor kept the other focused on the Showell Elementary project. “With funding you provided last year, we were able to complete the conceptual design process,” he said. “Through that process and through collaboration between the board of education (and the) commissioners we were able to reduce the cost by $12 million.”
‘The relationships that were built as a result of the effort that we’ve just gone through I think are going to benefit the county moving forward’ Commissioner Chip Bertino Taylor said based on the current project schedule, the board of education will have a completed design to present for state approval in Spring 2018. “We will request state funding for the project in next year’s CIP,” he said. “We will require your approval to proceed to the bidding phase of the project in the summer of 2018 pending state approval of construction funds.” Admitting that reaching the funding resolution involved “frank conversations on both sides,” Bertino also envisions long-term rewards. “The relationships that were built as a result of the effort that we’ve just gone through I think are going to benefit the county moving forward,” he said. Elder expressed gratitude the board of education was receptive to digging into the specifics to trim the budget to fit approved spending limits. “It was a lot of hard work and a lot of late night bickering,” he said. Commissioner Bud Church, while welcoming the new superintendent, noted that during Taylor’s 17 years as principal of Stephen Decatur High School he earned the respect of most students. “Your reputation preceded you and I think the county is happy that you’re there, at least 98 percent of the people I hear from,” he said. “Some of the one’s you’ve expelled over the years are not too happy.”

Fast moving fire leaves four homeless in Ocean Pines Roommate up late playing video games able to warn others before house burns
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Nov. 4, 2016) One of the largest fires in recent years destroyed a home in Ocean Pines last week, leaving four residents in their early 20s displaced and in a state of shock. Out of those ashes, however, a community has come together to support them. According to Ocean Pines Fire Department Chief Steve Grunewald, a 911 call came in at about 12:30 a.m. on Thursday and his company was the first to respond to the home on 173 Sandyhook Road. Things developed quickly. “I was there within six minutes of the call and the fire was through the roof already,” Grunewald said. “I immediately pulled a second alarm.” Additional responders included companies from Showell, Berlin, Bishopville, Newark, Ocean City and Willards in Maryland, as well as Selbyville, Roxana and Frankford, Delaware. “Every company was utilized,” Grunewald said. “There was several hours of overhaul that was needed – it was a big house. We were there a good four-and-a-half hours.” Four residents, Katie Wolfe, Tyler Eldridge, Nicolas Staub and Sam Thompson, escaped unharmed. Apparently one of the residents was still awake and was able to alert the others, who were sleeping. When she awoke, Wolfe said her immediate reaction was to “scream for my other roommates and my dog.” “We were [outside] until about 4 in the morning,” she said. “It was freezing – I was sleeping in my winter jacket because we hadn’t turned the heat on. It was awful.” She added that “it was close” getting everyone, including her dog, outside safely. A fifth person, a female friend of
the residents who was staying for the night, also escaped without injury. “It was very remarkable and they’re extremely lucky that they were able to get out,” Grunewald said. “The house is a total loss, but there were no firefighter injuries or civilian-related injuries. “It was a very good teamwork approach by all the fire companies,” he added. “With everybody working together, we were actually able to save the houses on the exposure side.” He said one of the neighboring homes did sustain minor “heat damage” to the siding because of the radiant heat. Asked when Grunewald could recall another fire in Ocean Pines of that magnitude he replied, “It’s been a couple years since we’ve had one that was that involved that fast.” The cause of the fire is undetermined and an investigation by the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s office is ongoing. Just hours after the inferno occurred, Wolfe’s mother, Joan Trice, started a GoFundMe page to help the four residents recover everything they had lost. As of Tuesday, more than $8,700 had been collected from 96 different donors. See HOUSEMATES Page 20

Housemates lose everything in blaze Continued from Page 19 Wolfe said “some better than others” were dealing with the loss of their home and virtually all of their possessions. “It’s going to take a while to get back to normal – emotionally and physically,” she said. “I just want to thank everyone and tell everyone how grateful we are for all the support within the community,” she continued. “It’s overwhelming. We’re just really thankful to be here to thank the people that are helping us and have helped us.” Thompson added, “It breaks my heart” to see the outpouring of support from the community. “It’s very emotional,” he said. He also praised the responders for their role in controlling the blaze. “They were there and helping and running in and out of the house,” he said. “It’s just incredible how they all functioned so appropriately.” According to Trice, other news outlets had erroneously reported that the home had five tenants, and said the fifth person who was in the house at the time of the fire was taking advantage of that fact. “The other girl that was there that night was not a tenant – I’d never even met her before,” Trice said. “She’s representing that she’s lost everything, but her belongings are in-
tact in her apartment. The kids are more than a little upset about that because she’s profiteering from it.” However, the four residents, Trice said, “lost everything but what they went to bed in.” “The kids are not doing well, to be honest with you,” she said. “They were really traumatized by the whole thing.” As she understands it, Trice said Staub was still awake, playing video games, when the blaze broke out. “Nicholas, I guess, saw the flames at the same time a smoke detector went off and got them all up and out,” she said. “I gather they had minutes to get out of the house – it really went up really fast.” At about 2 a.m., she said a sheriff arrived at her front door. “That’s not something you want to experience,” she said. Trice said the house “surprisingly doesn’t look that bad from the street,” but that the rear of the building was decimated. She speculated that faulty wiring might have been the cause of the fire. Trice, who owns and operates the Allterra Group real estate company in Ocean City, bought the home in December and said the previous owner lived largely “off the grid” and was prone to somewhat idiosyncratic doit-yourself projects.
On the first night after the incident, all four roommates stayed at her house. “Thank God for 24-hour Walmart” Trice said. “I was able to pick up some sweats and underwear and socks and T-shirts. They didn’t even have shoes. They’re one by one getting their stuff together.” Her daughter continues to stay with her, while the others are with various friends and family. “They all want me to rebuild the house and move back in together,” she said. “I think they feel like they’ve all been on the life raft together, so they’re hanging tight.” Trice said friends and family “from all over the country” came together quickly to help during the ensuing days, with one business associate even donating $1,000. Along with monetary donations, she said some of the roommates are looking for employment. Several worked in restaurants in Ocean City that recently closed or scaled back for the season.

SHA explains process of bridge inspection Currently installing fenders on Assawoman Bay bridge, new Kelley bridge openings
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Nov. 4, 2016) The State Highway Administration is responsible for maintaining almost 2,600 bridges of the 5,256 in the state, but last month resort residents and commuters were really only concerned with three of them, since they directly affected travel times. For most of the month, the bridges over the St. Martin River and Assawoman Bay were choked down to a single lane from early morning to mid-afternoon. Also, on one particular day, Wednesday Oct. 19, the SHA was working on the Route 50 drawbridge, requiring extra openings during the day and leaving only Coastal Highway and Route 54 as ingress/egress points untouched by work crews. “SHA bridge inspectors conduct biennial inspections on bridges, ramps, and overpasses constructed and maintained by SHA,” Charlie Gischlar, public information officer for the SHA said. “Underwater inspections are conducted every four years. SHA performs hands-on inspections of all bridge components. This exceeds the Federal Highway Administration’s requirements.” To that end, the SHA has four three-person teams and three twoperson teams trained and certified by the FHWA to search for anything that might indicate a structural problem. Gischlar said examples of those indicators include cracks, concrete deterioration from salt or corrosion, damage from a vehicle striking the bridge, settlement, erosion, blockage of the water flow under the bridge or misalignment of beams. SHA also samples the concrete and materials for structural integrity, he said.
Community alert signals to sound Saturday, 10 a.m.
(Nov. 4, 2016) Worcester County emergency alert signals will sound from area fire sirens on Saturday, Nov. 5. A steady alert tone will sound at 10 a.m. for approximately one minute. The signals are tested the first Saturday of each month. In the event of an actual emergency, the sirens would be used as additional means to warn the surrounding communities of imminent danger and the need to tune to radio, television or the internet for information.
www.oceancitytoday.net updated every friday
Each bridge is evaluated on three primary systems: deck, superstructure and substructure. “A bridge deck is the driving surface, as well as the concrete parapet walls, bridge sidewalk, scuppers (drains), etc. The superstructure are the steel or concrete beams that support the bridge deck, and the substructure includes bridge piers and abutments that provide support to the superstructure, which supports the bridge deck, Gischlar said. These systems are rated on a scale from two points (poor) to nine points (excellent) in the following order: deck, superstructure and substructure, he said. The Route 50 drawbridge, or Harry Kelley Memorial Bridge over the Sinepuxent Bay was last inspected in March 2015, Gischlar said, where it received a rating of 5-5-5.
E- T R EC EL
• • • • • •
“This indicates the bridge is in fair condition, and these overall ratings have not changed from the prior inspection,” Gischlar said. “The next inspection is scheduled for March 2018.” However, the bridge does receive regular routine maintenance, with the next scheduled instance on Nov. 16. This will require test openings and closings, and is scheduled to be conducted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. “It will consist of test openings, which should only last as long as a normal bridge opening, oiling movable parts to ensure smooth and proper operation and testing generators,” Gischlar said. During the last inspections in January 2015, the bridge over the St. Martin River received a 6-6-6 overall condition rating and the Assawoman Bay bridge received a 5-5-6 rating.
The results from the most recent inspections are not yet available. The Assawoman bay bridge still has equipment and a barge in the bay. “It’s in-water work to install a bridge fender system. A bridge fender is like a wall around the bridge piers (substructure) that protects critical elements from damage resulting from boat or marine vessel strikes,” he said. The fenders are designed to absorb the impact, while the bridges are not. The odd-looking truck involved in the inspections is called a “Snooper truck,” according to Gischlar. “This is a bridge inspection vehicle that enables the inspecting team to go out over the parapet wall, then under the bridge deck so the inspectors can evaluate the steel or concrete beams of a bridge,” he said.

Five new foals, five new names needed at Assateague Island National Seashore group begins auctioning naming rights to herd’s additions
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Nov. 3, 2016) The four of five foals born to Assateague horses this year need a bit of help, in that little N2BHS-O, N2BHS-AO, N2BHS-AIO and N10T-JO require more suitable, as in pronounceable, names. The exception, N6BMT-FO’s naming rights, was raffled off, with ticket sales ending on Halloween. The raffle was drawn on Tuesday and a name has been submitted by the winner, but the suggested name is pending National Seashore Superintendent Debbie Darden’s approval. Only 500 tickets were sold at $20 apiece for the naming rights raffle. The other four foals naming rights’ will be auctioned off via eBay, and can be located on that site by searching for the seller “AIA2009.” The seller is the Assateague Island Alliance, the nonprofit group that raises money to benefit the National Seashore N2BHS-O’s auction is live now, and will last until Nov. 11, with the high bidder securing the naming rights to the foal. N2BHS-O is an un-
marked sorrel colt born April 18. The others will follow at the conclusion of the previous auction, with the entire operation expected to be completed by mid-December. The starting bid in each auction is $300. Last year’s auction raised $7,900 for the park and the wild horse management program. “It’s really exciting, with five new foals, it gives people more opportunity to further connect to the island, and makes an interesting story to tell,” Ashlie Kozlowski, AIA outreach coordinator, said. “People really connect with the horses, and it’s one of the main reasons people keep coming back year after year.” Kozlowski said the money raised would go towards genetic testing for the herd, with the results helping to determine how best to manage the horse population. “Some people don’t agree with the program, some people love it,” Kozlowski said. “People will make gifts of the names, or choose one born on the same day.” Kozlowski said the program is going to grow, along with the herd, next year. “We’re at 88 horses right now,” which means no contraception will be administered to the horses this year, Kozlowski said.
N2BHS-AIO, a chestnut/sorrel filly with a tiny star, was born Aug. 4, is scheduled to have her naming rights auctioned off on eBay beginning Nov. 24. The auction starts at a reserve price of $300, and the auction is scheduled to end on Dec. 3.
Since 1994 the park has administered contraceptives to the herd to control population. At that time, according to Allison Turner, the biological technician who has managed the herd since the late 1980s, the population of horses had increased to about 170 animals, which was more than the habitat could support. Turner began administering PZP,
Porcine Zona Pellucida vaccine, which causes the mare’s immune system to deactivate sperm receptors in egg cells. Without active receptors fertilization shouldn’t occur, Turner explained. “We have 45 mares, and they all could foal next year,” Kozlowski said. It’s unlikely, she continued, but next year could be another big one for Assateague Island.

Plumbing code talks snarl over housing types By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) The third time might have been the charm for attempts to revise Ocean City’s strict plumbing code, as the City Council finally found a change that a majority would support. After a month-long recess, Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville was back before the council and presented the new verbiage in an amendment to the plumbing code, even though it went against his and Chief Building Inspector Kevin Brown’s advice. “Our primary recommendation is that it stays the same and it’s been time-tested and proven that the ordinance in effect is the best choice,” Neville told the council during Tuesday’s work session. “Our second recommendation is passing an ordinance with a set of changes.”
Originally, the council agreed to slightly alter the wording in the 2015 International Plumbing Code to allow property owners to make direct replacements without a permit. When it turned out that the exact opposite was enforced by the building staff, Councilman Wayne Hartman asked the council to revisit it back in September. Throughout that month, the council held several debates whether to make the code stricter or more flexible. The amendment was sent back to the city staff twice. The measure on the table during the Nov. 1 session suggested that removal and replacement of toilets, bathroom and kitchen faucets and shower heads that do not require relocating pipes would not need a permit. Traps, or drainpipes under sinks, would no longer need to be authorized by the city.
Removal or replacement of electric or tankless water heaters would also not need a permit. “The only thing we put in for your consideration is that [a plumbing repair replacement] could be made except for a multifamily condominium and commercial properties,” Neville said. “This section makes it clear that a plumbing replacement could be made by a property owner. It seems when residential housing units are above and below each other, those are the times we feel the public is better serviced applying for a permit and having an inspection done.” Before the council began its discussion on the amendment, President of the Delmarva Condominium Managers Association Joe Groves used the open comment segment to argue that city regulation would not be needed for condominium properties.
“We’re going to address that in our associations and ask if they wanted more stringent rules and if they wanted a inspection if that’s what they desired. I think it’s too complicated to have a code for single-family homes and condos,” he said. Councilman Wayne Hartman agreed and made a motion to remove condominium and commercial properties from the amendment and to say that property owners may request an inspection rather than be required to have one. Inspections would still have a fee attached to them. Hartman received backing from Councilman Tony DeLuca. However, Councilman Dennis Dare still had his concerns, pointing out that other municipalities that allowed property owners to make repairs had them pass a test. “You need a 70 percent on the test or you can’t do it for a multifamily property,” he said. “I still feel like we need to require a inspection to ensure it’s done safely…. The owner of a commercial property is potentially jeopardizing those that use it [if the plumbing] isn’t done properly.” Hartman argued that his motion would allow for mom-and-pop hotel businesses and large chains like Kentucky Fried Chicken alike to make simple repairs quickly without hassle, with property owners or plumbers in either situation. Councilman Matt James also voiced his support for Hartman’s motion, noting that condominium associations are required under state law to pay for plumbing damage that affecting several units that exceed $5,000. “We’re talking about serving the public. In my opinion, the public is best served when there’s less government overreach,” James said. “If condo associations are able to make their regulations for their own building, it should be up to them to require a licensed plumber or permit. It’s not our job.” Sharing similar concerns to Dare, Councilman Doug Cymek suggested keeping to the current ordinance but replacing the word “fixtures” with each specific fixture that can be done in condominiums without a permit. Hartman disagreed and refused to amend his motion. “It was passed in March and we were there. It didn’t work. It’s been tweaked and gone over so many times and the building department presented us with this verbiage to allow for this,” Hartman said. With that said, the motion to amend the building code to specifically allow certain fixtures to be repaired or replaced on all properties without a permit and to give property owners the opportunity to be inspected by the city staff passed. The final vote was 5-2, with Cymek and Dare opposed. Even so, the discussion isn’t quite over yet. The plumbing code amendment will reappear at future City Council sessions as an ordinance that will need to pass first and second reading.

Jack was raised by his beloved grandparents, Frances and Jack Shivery Haywood Winslow, in Wilmington, and loved his summers in Vermont with his mother and step-father, George Spear, Sr., who was the only father he ever knew and loved, and who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. Jack graduated from A.I. Dupont High School in Wilmington, Delaware, class of 1953. After graduation, Jack continued to work for several years in that area and it is where he met and married his wife, Ilene Bentley. They later moved to Vermont and began working in the family business in Essex Junction, Vermont, H. A. Spear and Sons. After several years, Jack and Ilene and their young daughter, Suzanah, relocated to Maryland, and continued with their yearly summer vacations in the Lake Champlain Islands. Jack spent many hours with his family and friends, enjoying fishing, boating and golfing. Vermont was always his home away from home. Jack was proud of his many years managing Georgetown Park in D.C., and a couple of years, prior to his death, he had retired from Warren’s Park in Ocean City, Maryland, as
property manager. Jack loved working, and will always be remembered for his kindness, generosity, extending his hand to help others, his huge heart, and his love of riding around in his golf cart. In addition to his wife, Ilene, and step-father, George Spear, Sr., he is also survived by his devoted daughter, Suzanah Cain, of Salisbury, and her husband, Stephen; his brothers, George “Ned” Spear and his wife, Betty L. Cheney, of Swanton, Vermont, and Peter Spear, and his fiancée, Elizabeth Keith, of Tilton, New Hampshire. “Papa Jack” adored his grandchildren, Ana Nosal of Blacksburg, Virginia, Kyra Nosal of South Burlington, Vermont and his namesake, Jack Cain of Salisbury. Jack leaves his Vermont nephews, Matthew Spear of Isle La Motte, Jesse Spear and his wife, Tamara Spear of Swanton, and Daniel Spear and his wife, Kimberly, also of Swanton; his niece, Caroline Wehler, and her husband, Adam Wagman, of Stow, Massachusetts, and their families. Jack was predeceased by his grandparents, Frances and Haywood Winslow, his mother, Elinor Spear, in 2001, and his sister-in-law and dear friend, Georgia Bentley, in 2014. The family would like to thank the many caregivers at Genesis Salisbury Nursing and Rehab and Coastal Hospice. A celebration of Jack’s life was held on Sunday, Oct. 30, 2016, at the home of Pamela Eaton in North Hero, Vermont, where memories and stories were shared of a man who will be forever with us, and who was everyone’s Uncle Jack.

The Worcester Prep boys' and girls' cross country teams celebrate after winning the inaugural Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship last Monday on their new home course in Berlin.
Worcester Prep XC squads win ESIAC championships
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 4, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ and girls’ cross country teams hosted the first Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship meet last Monday and both squads took top honors. “I think that it was an advantage to have it on our home course, and it was a nice day. I thought everyone did well,” Prep Coach Keith Geiger said. The meet took place in the park across the street from the Berlin school. Worcester Prep, Delmarva Christian and Salisbury School participated. Worcester athletes had the opportunity to run on portions of the course during practices leading up to the meet, but not the entire trail because some of it was flooded. Race day was the first time the Mallards ran the entire course from start to finish. “I’m most excited that we won it at our new home course,” said Prep senior Carter Hill, who led the boys’ team, crossing the finish line in first place. “I’m excited about the course and what the future holds for it. I think it’s an amazing set-up and place.” “Now that we have a home course, that opens up a new door of opportunities for us as a team. I really like the course,” added Prep junior Annemarie Cherry, who was the Lady Mallards’ top finisher, coming in second place overall. Prior to the meet, Geiger said the goal was for both Mallard teams to win the championship. They accomplished that goal. “The boys, I was pretty confident
we were going to win. I didn’t think it was going to be much of a problem,” he said. “The girls, I knew it was going to be close, especially since we were down a couple girls [due to injury], so I was a little nervous about that.” Worcester’s boys’ squad won the meet with 21 points. Delmarva Christian scored 48 points, followed by Salisbury School with 64. Hill completed the race in 18:21, two minutes before the second-place finisher, his teammate, senior Trent Marshall (20:15). Junior Jack Walinskas was the third Mallard to cross the finish line. He took fifth overall (21:16). Freshman Enzo Zechiel (sixth, 21:55) and junior Connor Cebula (10th, 22:42) also contributed to the victory. For placing first, Hill was named Runner of the Year for male athletes. “I’m excited that both the boys and girls won and I’m also excited that I got Runner of the Year,” he said. “I’m just thankful for the opportunity that I’ve had to run and be a part of a starting cross country team. The people around me have been so helpful. My coach, Mr. Geiger, has been really helpful and good to me. I’m just blessed to leave the cross country team with what I did and I’m happy with what I accomplished.” Worcester’s Lady Mallards tallied 30 points in the victory. Delmarva Christian was second with 41 points, followed by Salisbury with 52. Cherry led the Mallards with her second-place finish (23:57). “It feels really good. I definitely did my best and I’m very happy with sec-

ond place,” she said. “I think I did well. It’s very exciting to win the championship because we worked really hard. It definitely paid off.” Freshman Ashley Laws (third, 24:02), junior Marissa Grosso (sixth, 26:43), freshman Maddy Shanahan (seventh, 26:48) and senior Lauren Gosnear (12th, 29:17) also contributed to the win. “We had some girls who were absent from running because they were injured…so Lauren had to step up,” Geiger said. “It came down to her. She had to beat a couple people. It was good because she’s a senior so it’s nice she was able to contribute to the team in the last meet.” This was just the second year for Worcester’s cross country program and the squads were very successful. Geiger thought it was amazing that the teams were able to compete with the
big public schools and place high. “It was a great season. More people tried out this year, which shows it’s catching on a little bit around school,” Geiger said. “People knew what to expect a little bit more especially the returners and that always helps, and I think we overall as a team did much better.” Sixteen boys and 11 girls competed this year. The boys’ squad will graduate five – Hill and Marshall, who led the Mallards throughout the season, as well as David Taylor, Josh Willey and Jordan Welch. Hill came in first place in six of the seven meet that Worcester competed in. During the Tidewater Fall Classic, Hill finished in 11th place overall out of 246 runners participating in the boys’ competition. See WP’S Page 32

WP’s Carter Hill earns ESIAC male Runner of the Yr. award Continued from Page 31 “I thought the season went as best as it could. I was really happy with all my meet results…it opened my eyes to running in college and looking toward the future in running for me,” Hill said. “I think competition pushes me, that’s what I thrive on. It was good to have people surrounding me that were good and I always wanted to come out on top.” Gosnear is the only runner graduating from the girls’ team, so Geiger thinks the group will be strong next season. Cherry consistently led the Mallards and will return next year as a senior. “I think the season went very well. We definitely gave it our all, everybody tried as hard as they could,” she said. “There wasn’t anyone who slacked off.” She is already looking forward to
next season. “I’m just really blessed with the opportunity that we have here. We just started last year and I’m happy that we had this opportunity to be able to have a cross country team,” she said. “I just want to thank Mr. Geiger and everyone who came to the meets. It was so fun and I can’t wait for next year and what the future holds for the team.” To be successful right at the start of next season, Geiger said training in the offseason is key. “It would be nice if they come into the season where they left off,” he said. “If I can convince them that it’s important enough to train during the summer than I think we’ll be successful. It’ll be tough if we have to start all over again. Hopefully we’ll be in good shape when we start.”

SD pulls out 2-1 win over Atholton
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 4, 2016) Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team netted two goals in the second half of Tuesday’s 3A East Region Section II second-round game, to earn a 2-1 win over the Atholton Raiders in Berlin. “It was the flattest we’ve come out all year Jamie Greenwood in the first half,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “I think nerves were a factor because we were expected to win – Atholton only had three wins – so there was a lot of pressure.” Greenwood said his players were a little tense, so during the halftime break he told them to “relax, play 40 minutes of soccer and have fun.” “I said, ‘Let’s play the ball to the six [yard line], let’s put one in the back of the net to tie it and then one to win it,” he said. Decatur, the top seed in 3A East Section II, pressured the fifth-seeded
Atholton goal and was finally successful. A little over eight minutes into the second half, senior Robbie Duke had control of the ball and as the Atholton goalie charged at him, the left side of the goal was wide open. Duke shot to the left post and scored to tie the game at 1-all. “He placed it very well, and that’s what we’ve talked about,” Greenwood said. With about 13 minutes remaining in the game, senior Andy McKahan, standing to the right of the goal about 20 yards out, played the ball into the box, where junior John Ford was waiting on the six yard line near the left post. He knocked the ball past the Atholton goalie to put Decatur up 2-1. After the Seahawks scored, Greenwood said they went into a defensive mode. Decatur goalie, senior Noah Shockley, came up with several big saves in the final minutes. Senior captain, defender Tyler Keiser, also kept the ball out of the back of the net. “Noah definitely came up big at the end, and Tyler Keiser saved two off the line,” Greenwood said.

Shockley finished the game with nine saves. “The second half we played much better. I thought we moved the ball well,” Greenwood said. “I’m happy we played through adversity and some challenges on the field.” Although all of the Seahawks play an integral role in some way and bring something valuable to the team whether they see time on the field or not, Greenwood said he relied on his 14 seniors to carry the team on Tuesday. “I told them, ‘this is your team, you’re going to shoulder the burden,’” he said. “There’s 14 of them. They can handle it.” Decatur was scheduled to host the third-seeded Chesapeake Cougars yesterday, Thursday, in the 3A East Section II finals. Section I top seed, the Mt. Hebron Vikings, and No. 3 Centennial Eagles, are slated to go headto-head today, Friday, in their bracket finals. The winners of Sections I and II will advance to the 3A East Regional championship game, scheduled for Tuesday.

Decatur golfers give their all during state championship By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Nov. 4, 2016) Five Stephen Decatur golfers stepped onto the University of Maryland College Park golf course last Monday, ready for the semifinal round of the 3A/4A state tournament. Senior co-captains Matt Kristick and Tanner Leonard, with junior Matt Kinsey and sophomore Hayden Snelsire, competed as a team during the state championship, while sophomore Emily Malinowski played individually. Kinsey, making his second state tournament appearance, led the foursome, shooting a 77. Kristick, a fourtime state championship participant, carded an 82. Leonard, in his second state competition, scored an 84. In his state match debut, Snelsire tallied a 90. The Seahawks recorded a team score of 333. Of the 12 3A/4A teams that participated, the top four advanced to the final round, held last Wednesday. Decatur finished in fifth place by one stroke. Despite the boys not qualifying as a team for the final round, Kinsey, Kristick and Leonard advanced because of their individual scores. The cutoff was 84 for male golfers and 87 for females. Malinowski, in her state tournament debut, shot a 99 in the semifinal round. “I feel like I tried. I didn’t play as well as I think I could have, but I went out there and I did my thing,” Malinowski said. “Playing at states showed my weakness: short game. I could get up and down, but I just couldn’t chip or putt. But now I know what I need to work on, and hopefully I’ll come back next year and blow everyone away.” Snelsire said he struggled a bit on the challenging course, but he didn’t give up after a rough start. “The course played really tough because of the hills and the certain grain of the greens,” he said. “You could think a putt was going this way, but in fact it S
was going the exact opposite way. With all those factors, plus nerves, it wasn’t going to be an easy round, but I had to get through it.” Kinsey, Kristick and Leonard battled in the championship round last Wednesday. Kinsey shot a 79 for a two-day total of 156. He finished 16th in the state overall out of 161 golfers. “I thought I played a stellar tournament,” Kinsey said. “I left a couple shots out on the course I wish I could of took back, but overall it was very successful … My goal going up to states was to finish in the top 20 and I did it.” Kinsey said it was a great accomplishment after not qualifying for states last year. “I think it was a mental hump I had to get over in my golf game, because I can tend to play outside of my game sometimes and it can hurt me in a round when I am in the heat of a moment,” he said. “I stayed with a no-quit attitude for 36 holes and stuck to my game plan for the tournament, and never did anything that was gonna take me out of the tournament.” “Matt Kinsey’s 16th-place finish was the pride of the team, but you can bet he will shatter that finish next year,” Decatur Coach Jim Krall added. Kristick shot a 79 during the final round. His two-day score of 161 put him in a tie for 25th place with four other golfers. “I was disappointed with how I played at states,” he said. “I had high expectations going into states and unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet them, but I still enjoyed the opportunity of competing.” Leonard carded an 87 during the state finals for a two-day total of 171. He tied for 53rd place overall with two other golfers. “I felt that I played decent, but not to my expectations,” he said. “Overall, the coaching staff is very

proud of the state qualifiers. Not many high school athletes can say they’ve played in a state tournament,” Krall said. “Three out of five will be back next year with the experience under their belt.” Krall said the 2016 season was very rewarding. Decatur won seven matches during the regular season and placed second in three. The team also captured the Bayside Conference and District VIII championship titles. “Recapturing the Bayside and District titles were terrific accomplishments, and to have three players in the state finals was the icing on the cake,” Krall said. Kinsey led the team this year with a 38.5 average. He tied for second place in the conference with James M. Bennett’s Ayden Whitehead. Kinsey earned All-Bayside Conference First Team honors. Krall presented him with a team MVP Award. “I had a few goals going into the season: one being to improve my scoring average, two being to medal in more matches, and the most important goal of them all was to get back to states, and I wound up accomplishing all off this season’s goals, which resulted in a successful season,” he said. “It’s a great accomplishment to end up solo 16th [in

the state]. It goes to show that next year I have one more shot to get back up to states and win the whole thing … I am very excited for next year’s high school golf season, because I feel we still have a strong team, which means we can accomplish anything.” Leonard also earned First Team ac-
colades. He finished fifth overall in the conference with a 39.58 average. He received a team MVP award as well. Leonard said this season was like no other. “We achieved so much from the beginning of the season to the very end. Personally, this season was a huge im-
provement for my game from last year,” Leonard said. “I played well all year and surpassed my expectations leading into the year. From a team standpoint, we played lights-out all year. We really gelled as a team, which helped our season’s success.” See SD Page 36

SD team to return talented golfers Continued from Page 35 Leonard said playing golf in college is a possibility and he is looking into a few options including Hood College, Shepherd University, Wesley College and UMES. “I am really pleased with my career at Stephen Decatur,” Leonard said. “It all stems from the coaches who have created an incredible program that is like no other. I was fortunately blessed enough to be able to play for Decatur the past two years.” Kristick placed sixth overall in the conference with a 40.08 average. He was presented All-Conference Second Team distinction. Krall also gave Kristick an MVP award. “Our team really played well together throughout the year and was able to be successful,” he said. “Me personally, I was disappointed with how I played this year. I had extreme high expectations for myself being my senior year and unfortunately fell short in reaching them, but that’s golf…” Overall, Kristick said he enjoyed his high school golf career. “I’ve had so many different highlights throughout my time at Decatur as a member of the golf team that I’ll cherish for years to come, and look forward to what the future holds for me,” he said. Kristick will be playing golf for Temple University next year.
“I’m so excited for the opportunity ahead of me,” he said. “It’s been a goal of mine to play golf at the collegiate level and I am just so excited to be able to.” Snelsire received Second Team honors and finished ninth overall in the conference with a 43.67 average. Krall presented the Coaches Award to Snelsire. “It was a very bumpy ride this year. I had my ups and downs throughout the year, but I was lucky enough to be in the top five on my team and qualify for states,” he said. “The season didn’t go as expected, but it was a very fun year.” Snelsire said he is looking forward to the 2017 season. “We will be missing our seniors, Matt Kristick and Tanner Leonard, but we should have a great year still,” he said. “It will be really fun and exciting to see how we do.” Krall gave the team Sportsmanship Award to Malinowski. She thought the season went well overall for her personally. Malinowski led the field of female golfers during the District VIII tournament and earned medalist honors. That, and qualifying for states, was her biggest accomplishment of the season, she said. “Going to states has changed the way I look at the game,” she said. “It was a great honor and experience to go, which definitely made this season much better
than last year. I made many improvements and I’ll continue to work on my game.” Malinowski said she is excited for next year and knows what she needs to work on during the offseason. She said it is an honor to play for Decatur. “I love all of the people on the team, and we’re like a family,” she said. “Next year won’t be the same without the seniors that graduate this year, but the team will continue and I hope to come back strong next year. I’m aiming for a solid 38.6 average next season.” Freshman Brady Leonard and junior Spencer Carbaugh earned All-Conference Honorable Mention, for finishing 11th (44.43 average) and 12th (45.83), respectively. Krall presented the Rookie of the Year Award to Brady Leonard, and Carbaugh took home the Most Improved Award. Krall said Kristick and Tanner Leonard will be missed next season. “Along with Kinsey, they were the reason we did so well this year. Their absence will definitely be felt,” Krall said. “However, Coach [Don] Furbay and I feel the team has a lot of talented players coming back next year. As long as those players take golf seriously and work on their game throughout the year, we should be able to defend the titles that Kristick and Leonard helped us to achieve.”

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Last Saturday morning, Owner Mo Salem opened the doors to his new Shmagel’s Bagels and TBCY joint location in Berlin near Wal-Mart. “We’re bringing the best of both worlds together with fresh baked bagels and TBCY’s famous frozen yogurt,” Salem said. “It was a great first weekend.

The six self-serve machines have 12 rotating flavors such as strawberry, peanut butter, cookies and cream, bananas foster, chocolate and vanilla. In addition, eight rotating, seasonal flavors are hand scooped by employees.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) The National Association of Realtors released its 35th annual profile of home buyers and sellers, which found that for-sale-byowner transactions remained at an alltime low of eight percent for the second straight year, and nearly 90 percent of all respondents worked with a real estate agent to buy or sell a home. Also noteworthy is that two key segments, first-time buyers and single women, have experienced a small rebound in home sales. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said more new homeowners were able to break through what continues to be a laborious market for many trying to enter. “Young adults are settling down and deciding to buy a home after what was likely a turbulent beginning to their adult life and career following the Great Recession,” he said. “Demand increased over the past year because of a robust job market for those with a college degree and renter fatigue at a time when homeowners continue to see their equity rise. These factors were why more firsttime buyers (67 percent) said a desire to own a home of their own was the primary reason for their purchase (64 percent in 2015, 53 percent in 2014).” Other noteworthy survey results were that married couples once again made up the largest share of buyers (66 percent) and had the highest income ($99,200). However, the survey revealed that single women made up more of the buyer pie than in recent years, based on household composition. After falling to 15 percent of buyers a year ago, which tied the lowest share since 2002, single females represented 17 percent of total purchases, which is the highest since 2011 when it was 18 percent. Survey results also show that firsttime buyers are waiting until they are older to purchase. The median age of first-time buyers in this year’s survey was 32, matching the all-time high last set back in 2006, and up from 31 over the past five years. The typical first-time buyer had a higher household income ($72,000) than last year ($69,400) and purchased a slightly larger home at an average of 1,650 See BIGGER Page 38

It’s fun for the kids.” To complement the bagels, at least 13 cream cheese spreads are available. Choices include strawberry, horseradish and cheddar, chive and onion, honey pecan, blueberry, cinnamon and sugar, crabby, and finally, the combination of apple, raisin and cinnamon. “Our two current seasonal cream cheese flavors are pumpkin and cranberry,” Salem said. Shmagel’s Bagels has also expanded their baked goods selections and are trying out a few others options. The variety of baked foods includes scones, cookies, brownies, apple and cherry turnovers, cinnamon twists and muffins, which are
aptly named “Shmuffins” at the shop and are very popular among customers. Breakfast sandwiches are served on bagels with eggs, meats and cheeses chosen by the customer. There are 16 specialty sandwiches served on a bagel including chicken salad, roast beef and cheddar, tuna salad, a bagel grilled cheese, egg salad, turkey chipotle club and a cheesy tomato melt. “We have expanded the menu and added new lunch sandwiches,” Salem said. “In the future we’re thinking of adding paninis.” A bagel shop would not be complete without coffee and Shmagel’s Bagels grinds and brews its specialty coffee in house with offerings including cappuccinos, expressos, lattes
and iced coffees. Smoothies are another tasty treat with fruit flavors such as wild berry, raspberry strawberry and mango or start the morning off with a coffee smoothie. “The coffee smoothies are a blended coffee drink and are really good,” Salem said. In addition, a drive thru will be up and running by Nov. 11. “We wanted people to come in and familiarize themselves with Shmagel’s Bagels,” Salem said. Shmagel’s Bagels is Salem’s brainchild and he plans to expand the brand to another location somewhere in North Ocean City by next summer. “Shmagel’s is going to grow from here,” Salem said. “We’ve had a few

Cheerleaders ready for regionals Berlin Pop Warner squad to compete this Sunday; girls hope to qualify for nationals
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Berlin Pop Warner cheerleaders will participate in the Eastern Regional event on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Trenton, New Jersey, after taking first place during the Henlopen competition in Smyrna, Delaware, Oct. 9. “The girls received the highest score we have ever gotten [in Smyrna],” Head Coach Jessie Parsons said. “If we place first or second in our category on Sunday, we would move on to nationals. There is quite a lot of competition this year in our category.” The 22, level three peewee cheerleaders range in age from 9-13 years old. Most of the girls have been cheering together for a number of years, while six are new to the sport. Training for the competitions began in August. In addition, the cheerleaders perform every Saturday during Pop Warner football games. They will be competing against Pop Warner teams from Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, on Sunday. “We have year-round cheerleading in the Pop Warner program and the girls learned a lot in the offseason,” Parsons said. “They have worked
hard, the tumbling is better and they will be bringing these new skills to the routine.” If they receive a first- or secondplace ranking at the regional competition, the cheerleaders will advance to the national championship at Walt Disney World’s Wide World of Sports in December. The cheerleaders have to come up with a two-minute 30-second routine consisting of cheer, dance, tumbling and stunts for the Eastern Regional competition. “This is the hardest routine we have ever put together and we must give credit to Debbie Donahue, who is in charge of the cheer program in Berlin and has been dedicated to the program for 18 years,” Parsons said. “Debbie and Jen Robins worked together to put our routine together.” This is Robins’ first year as a coach and her daughters, Reese, 11, and Brynn, 10, are participating in their second year on the Berlin Pop Warner cheerleading squad. “I was excited to get involved and the girls stepped up their game from last year,” Robins said. “These girls are absolutely amazing.” Reese is excited for the competitions and loves learning new stunt techniques. “I love competing and it’s a lot of fun,” Reese Robins said. “It is fun being a part of a team and experiencing everything.” Brynn loves performing at the football games and competitions.
“We do really cool dancing and have to hit all the moves tightly,” Brynn Robins said. “I really like the pyramid we do.” Parsons’ daughter, Kendahl, 12, has been cheering for Pop Warner for six years. “I like it because I get to see all my friends,” Kendahl Parsons said. “I like the end stunt and our dance this year.” Pop Warner cheerleaders are required to maintain acceptable grade point averages to participate in the nonprofit organization’s programs. All adult volunteers go through certification programs and participants rely on donations to attend national championships. The squad has six coaches this year. “We are staying positive and will focus on a big push for fundraising if we make it to nationals,” Parsons said. “The turnaround time is quick and we are hoping to defer some costs.” It costs $1,000 per person if the girls were to advance to Disney World. Berlin Pop Warner is accepting monetary donations for its football and cheer program. Donations are tax deductible and can be mailed to: Worcester County Youth Football P.O. Box 205 Berlin, Maryland, 21811. For more information on the Worcester County Youth Football and Cheerleading Berlin Seahawks, call 443-783-8628 or visit www.BerlinSeahawks.com.

Mullen’s stuffed monkey inspires series third book
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Author Rose Mullen’s 16-inch stuffed monkey has inspired her third story, “RR and Friends,” which is the latest release to her children’s book series. In January of 2006, Mullen’s husband, Randy, bought her the monkey at Wacky Bear Factory on the Ocean City Boardwalk with an adoption certificate. The monkey was named “RR,” using the couple’s initials, Randy and Rose. Her third book, “RR and Friends,” familiarizes audiences to the stuffed monkey’s companions in the United States and the Philippines. “There are seven children in the book,” Mullen said. “RR’s best friend, Sophia, is Jill and Todd Ferrante’s [owners of Park Place Jewelers] 9-year-old daughter.” The 37-page book also introduces readers to the Mullen’s three grandchildren, other stuffed creatures, neighborhood friends and the children of Mullen’s nephews. “The book is for young children and adults with the message that age doesn’t count in friendship. There are character traits that bind friendship, there is so much enjoyment in sharing times with friends and that playing with friends is a learning process,” Mullen said. In addition, there are three poems about friends and 27 vocabulary words from the national language of the Philippines, Tagalog, translated into English. Her second book, “Flowers from RR’s Garden,” follows the stuffed monkey on his travel adventures to his two favorite countries while revealing his love of flowers with vivacious photographs and descriptions. “It’s about the flowers growing in the gardens in Ocean City and the Philippines,” Mullen said. “There are descriptions of the flowers. We always admire them, but don’t know the names or story behind it.” The Mullens have a huge garden in the Philippines and a smaller one in Ocean City. All of the flowers described in “Flowers from RR’s Garden” are growing in one of their gardens. There are about 20 different flowers and flower arrangements discussed in the 37-page book, which was released in July. Mullen enjoys writing stories and wants readers to realize the importance of experience gained while traveling. The last couple pages of her book has 26 Tagalog words translated into English. In addition, there are three poems

written by Mullen describing her thoughts on springtime and flowers. “I hope it inspires people to plant flowers and make friends wherever they go,” Mullen said. Her first book, “RR, the Traveling Stuffed Monkey Buddy,” was released in May and follows the stuffed monkey back and forth from the United States to the Philippines. The 25-page book has 18 Tagalog words translated into English on the last page. “The book includes a poem about the monkey and a little bit of information about the Philippines,” Mullen said. “I hope to help expand the vocabulary and reading ability for children. The book is geared toward people 8 years and above.” Mullen was born in the Philippines and she has been a United States citizen for 10 years. The Mullens purchased property in Ocean City and they have been living in the resort town since 2007. The couple also have a house in the Philippines and RR goes back and forth with them. In the near future, Mullen plans to publish a fourth book about art RR makes from recycled materials such as newspapers and papiermâché. Mullen has four additional books planned in the RR series including ones about his birthday, Christmas, a second book about flowers and a trip to the Philippines. Go to Amazon.com to purchase “RR, the Traveling Stuffed Monkey Buddy,” “Flowers from RR’s Garden” and “RR and Friends” for $10 each, or email Mullen at rrmullen60@outlook.com.

Anna Foultz presented with Sons of Italy Ameritan Award By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) After a lifetime of service, Ocean Pines community, stalwart Anna Foultz was honored by the Order Sons of Italy in America with its 2016 Ameritan Award during a gala in Hunt Valley on Oct. 22. “Every year they honor people, and you have to do something special to get it,” she said. “I didn’t know about it, I was in shock.” Foultz, 90, has been a charitable force in Ocean Pines since relocating to the area three decades ago with her late husband, Carl Foultz. After moving to the Eastern Shore, Foultz joined the local chapter of the Sons of Italy, a tradition her father instilled at an early age. Also in 2007 the couple formed the allvolunteer fundraising group, Star Charities. “When I was a little girl, my father was an immigrant and he joined Sons of Italy,” she said. “He used to take me to the meetings because he was an entertainer. He’d bring his guitar and used to make me get up and sing old traditional Italian songs and I used to be so embarrassed.” In 2014, the Sons of Italy Ocean City Lodge #2747 honored Foultz with its first ever Distinguished Citizen award for her ongoing community efforts and long list of accomplishments. “When I joined the Sons of Italy here, I became president after a couple of years,” she said. During her tenure, the Sons of Italy donated beach-friendly wheelchairs to Ocean City and raised funds to buy a pair of park benches for Ocean Park in
Pines Aquatics to offer one-day jr. lifeguard program
(Nov. 4, 2016) Future lifeguards can enjoy a day off from school and join Ocean Pines Aquatics for skillbuilding, swimming and fun during a one-day junior lifeguard program on Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sports Core Pool, located at 11143 Cathell Road in Ocean Pines. Children ages 7 and up will learn lifeguarding skills, play games, visit the local fire department and have a pizza lunch. The cost of the class, which is open to the public, is $75 per person and includes a T-shirt, whistle, first-aid kit, lunch, snacks and drinks. An additional session of the program will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 28. To register for either or both sessions, call the Ocean Pines Aquatics Department at 410-641-5255. Information regarding additional Ocean Pines aquatics programs, including an online version of the Ocean Pines Activity Guide, is available at OceanPines.org.
Ocean Pines. “Then I started the first scholarship that Sons of Italy ever had while I was president,” she said. Since stepping down from her presidential post in 1999, Foultz remained an active member with the Sons of Italy Ocean City lodge and currently serves as chairperson of programs and publicity. Much to her amazement, the Distinguished Citizen award wasn’t the last accolade headed her way, as her cohorts secretly nominated her for the recent state honor. “I figured that’s the end of that and the next thing I got a letter saying I won this award,” she said. At the award ceremony, Foultz celebrated with family members from as far away as Texas, Kentucky and Florida, and was flabbergasted to see her close friend, Joan Gentile. “All my family came, which was really thrilling,” she said. “Then my girlfriend from Florida, they called her but kept it a secret and didn’t tell me she was going to be there. I was so shocked when I saw her and everybody laughed because I never expected her to come all the way from Florida to come to this event.” Looking back on a lifetime of volunteerism, Foultz said it started when she was in grade school at St. Aloysius in Pottstown, Pennsylvania and a priest

asked a classroom of students to help raise money for a catholic charity. “Nobody raised their hand, so I raised my hand,” she said. “The nun was happy because nobody else raised their hand.” Even as a youngster, Foultz felt the call to action when volunteers were sought. “I wanted to help the charity and I said somebody’s got to do something because it’s a worthwhile cause,” she said. “That started my fundraising.” Foultz’s selfless spirit has been evidenced on countless occasions, with
some instances more in the public light than others. “I always wanted to do stuff for people,” she said. “I had a neighbor I used to help her clean her house because she was old. Whenever I could help anybody I was right there trying to help them.” Admitting that gaining attention for her good deeds is not a priority, Foultz said the spotlight tends to increase her bashfulness. “I was so honored to get that award,” she said. “I don’t think I deserve it but that’s what they said. I just have a soft spot to do good for the community.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pickled corn relish delicious gift for holidays By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) For someone who owns at least 400 cookbooks, I am going out on the limb and discuss the limitations of instructional books. I must make it perfectly clear that I am in no way suggesting forgoing tradition and chucking your library of gastronomy. Cookery goes far beyond the pages of directions; the supposition that following specific directives can possibly explain the science and the lore of the kitchen is simply preposterous. And there is another concept that everyday recipes do not take into consideration. Collective memories associated with food trickle into our sense memory which ultimately flavors our menus. For example, the tradition of Thanksgiving is greatly influenced by our past. I would dare say that if one were to take a poll and ask home cooks what was the inspiration for their menu, most would reply it was their desire to keep remembrances of family celebrations near to their heart. This is what makes home cooking so comforting and special; the extra time and care that is reflected in the preparation symbolizes the love that is served with every meal. That being said, what I am implying is one must grasp the nature of food, what it is made of, where it comes from and how it is transformed by cooking. In addition, history, anthropology and etymology also contribute to the comprehension of food and cooking. Another advantage of such expertise is that it frees the cook from too great a dependence in following guidelines verbatim. Personal preference becomes more of a focus and ultimately leads to distinction. No cook-
book can foresee all the mishaps that may happen due to inexperience or special situations. But if one understands the principal nature of foods and methods at hand, he or she is in a better place to recoup and present a delightful, delicious dish. Harold McGee sums up this culinary philosophy brilliantly, “An understanding of what food is and how cooking works does no violence to the art of cuisine or destroys the delightful mystery. Instead, the mystery expands from matters of expertise and taste to encompass the hidden patterns and wonderful coincidences of nature.” In other words, the physiology of a chef and their craft is far more complicated than one realizes if perfection is the ultimate goal. These other areas of interest are meant to be an addition to cookbooks not a replacement. Following are examples of knowledge typically not found in cooking books that can rescue or enlighten a cook no matter their level of cooking. For instance, aioli (garlic mayonnaise), rouille (chili mayonnaise), tartar sauce, remoulade (garlic dressing) and truffle mayonnaise are your basic mayonnaise sauces and can curdle under certain circumstances. The most likely causes of curdling are the egg yolks or oil was too cold, the oil was added too rapidly, or too much oil was added. But curdled mayonnaise can be rescued. Simply place one egg yolk in a bowl, then trickle in the curdled mayonnaise, whisking until the mixture is incorporated and smooth. Deep-frying is one of the most popular ways to cook seafood. Fish, shrimp, clams, oysters and scallops are all well suited for deep frying. There are two secrets for successful fried seafood; the dredging method and proper egg wash. Dip the seafood in the flour, this acts like a glue for the egg wash. Next,
the seafood is dredged in the egg wash and finally in a panko mixture for extra crispiness. Many cookbooks will walk you through the steps of frying but very few will suggest the next step which is based on incorporation of air. The egg wash consists of one egg per teaspoon of cold water. Take this egg mixture and pour it into a blender. The result is an egg wash that is saturated with air. The result is a much lighter batter. Paella is a Spanish rice dish that includes different combinations of vegetables and meats, characteristically seasoned with saffron, but also has other spices depending on the recipe and area in Spain it comes from. The dish Paella is said to be a perfect union between two cultures; the Romans developed the Paella pan and the Arabs introduced rice to Spain. Many recipes will instruct you not to rinse the rice for the starchy coating keeps the grains separate during the cooking process. Nor is the rice to be stirred, as this would also break up the grains. But what many Paella recipes do not tell you is the actual pan is the key to successful Paella. It is essential to have a large and shallow pan with a flat base to ensure the rice cooks in a thin, even layer. In addition, Paella must develop a golden crust on the bottom to be considered a “true” Paella. Béchamel is the king of white sauces and the one from which many other white sauces derive. Many recipes will walk you though the instructions for a béchamel sauce being the base of the dish. But what is not made clear is the correct consistency for a béchamel sauce - whether thin, medium, or thick depends on how you intend to use it. Thin béchamel sauces are ideal for lightly coating vegetables, fish, meat and adding body to soups. Medium béchamel sauces are the foundation for mornay sauces, gratins and pasta
dishes like lasagna. Thicker béchamel sauces are used to bind ingredients for fillings, stuffings and soufflé bases. Pickled corn relish is an inexpensive, delicious gift for the upcoming holidays. Recipes for the sweet, savory and spicy condiment are not typically found in modern cookbooks. Homemade pickled corn relish is so much tastier than the brands sold in supermarkets. Keeping with the theme of the day, feel free to improvise according to family traditions. Enjoy!
Pickled Corn Relish Ingredients ¼ cup canola oil 10 cups fresh frozen, or canned corn 5 cups combined sweet red, orange and yellow peppers, seeded and diced 2 ½ cups celery, chopped 1 cup red onion, diced 2/3 cup jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped 1 ¾ cup sugar 5 cups rice vinegar 2 ½ tablespoons kosher salt 2 ½ teaspoons celery seed 2 ½ teaspoons dry mustard 1 ¼ teaspoons turmeric 9 pint canning jars 1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté corn, peppers, celery, onion and jalapeños until translucent. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove corn mixture from heat and allow to cool. Fill nine quart jars with pickled corn relish and refrigerate. * Pickled corn relish can be refrigerated for up to 10 days. Secret Ingredient - Misunderstanding. “A relationship is not holding hands while you understand each other, it’s about having lots of misunderstandings and still not leaving each other’s hands…” — Unknown

(Nov. 4, 2016) More than 800 people packed Sunset Park in downtown Ocean City last Saturday for the second annual Shore Craft Beer Fest to benefit the Ocean City Development Corporation. The event, which attracted visitors from as far away as Ohio, has become the capstone for October’s region-wide Shore Craft Beer Month. More than 83 percent of tickets sold online were to those who traveled more than an hour to attend this event. In addition, more tickets were sold as part of hotel packages offered by five hotels. VIP tickets sold out prior to the event, leaving only general admission tickets available the day of the festival. “This year’s craft beer fest at Sunset
Park was even better than last year, I thought – which is saying a lot,” said Glenn Irwin, executive director of the Ocean City Development Corporation. “More breweries and a bigger attendance combined with the great music, food trucks and weather made for an unforgettable event.” “We were thrilled with the turnout and enthusiasm from all attendees including the brewers,” said Ann McGinnis Hillyer of Shore Craft Beer, which organized the event. “When you host an event to showcase Ocean City as the hippest and hottest craft beer destination, you want those that travel a long way to enjoy themselves and you want the local businesses to understand how See SECOND Page 51

Walk/Run for Recovery in OC Second annual Shore Craft
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Dedicated to helping individuals and their families recover from addiction, the Atlantic Club is hosting its fifth annual Walk/Run for Recovery on the Boardwalk this Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants will begin their trek at 10 a.m. at the inlet, then head to 27th Street before turning around and returning to the starting line. Registration takes place at 9 a.m. and a $20 donation is requested. The first 100 participants to sign up at the inlet will receive a free T-shirt and a bag with coupons for rounds of golf, discounts and free items. Proceeds support the Atlantic Club’s mission of helping individuals and families overcome addiction while providing resources they need to stay clean and sober. “Participating demonstrates the importance to our community of recovery resources,” said walk and run chair, Colleen Wareing. “Recovery is alive and well in our community, as is addiction and the Atlantic Club provides through a nonprofit organization, 24-hour access to recovery support, peer and 12step groups as well as fun activities for those in recovery and their family.” Last year, 60 people participated in the event and $5,000 was raised, which organizers hope to surpass in 2016. The funds helped to award two scholarships to high school students affected by addiction. “It is anticipated several ‘Warriors against Opioids’ will be walking as well in their purple shirts,” Wareing said. “We are demonstrating there is hope for those suffering from addiction.” Because community and local business support has been tremendous, organizers created a basket from donations, which is valued at more than $2,000. Tickets will be sold during the event until the drawing at noon on Saturday. The Atlantic Club is dedicated to helping individuals and their families recover from addiction at its headquarters on Route 50 in West Ocean City.
The nonprofit organization offers 24hour services with access to 12-step programs, lifestyle balance classes, sober events, an exercise room and internet access for those looking for jobs. Send all donations to: The Atlantic Club, Attn: Laura Puckett, P.O. Box 563, Ocean City, Maryland 21842. Make checks payable to The Atlantic Club. Donations can also be made online, at www.atlanticclubocmd.org. For more information on the event, call Wareing at 410-430-6896.
Beer festival benefits OCDC
Continued from Page 50 valuable these visitors are to the local craft breweries and the local economy.” The primary attraction is that Shore Craft Beer Fests invite all and host only local breweries, many of which bring beers that are not available anywhere but on the peninsula. It is a chance for people who are fans of the shore and craft beer to have access to the best of
both in one setting. Sunset Park has glorious views of the Assawoman Bay and made for many great photo opportunities for visitors and locals alike. Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli and SoBo’s both had their food trucks on hand during the event. Local performers Alex & Shiloh kept people dancing throughout the four hour event.

‘Brews and Bites’ event, Nov. 10 Beer tasting, food sampling part of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean facility fundraiser
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2016) Craft beer tastings, food from local restaurants and tunes by request from DJ Tenacious await attendees of “Brews and Bites,” on Thursday, Nov. 10, benefitting Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. The party will take place at Blu Crabhouse on 24th Street from 5:308:30 p.m., and tickets cost $50. “Coastal Hospice is very fortunate to be the recipient of this event,” said Elaine Bean, community relations manager for Coastal Hospice. Tickets include unlimited beer tastings from local craft breweries including Dogfish Head, Duclaw, Evolution, Fin City, Flying Dog, Heavy Seas, Rubber Soul and Tall Tales. Hooked, Harpoon Hanna’s, Parched Pelican, Blu Crabhouse, Embers, Longboard Café, Iron Horse, the Original Greene Turtle, Barn 34 and Touch of Italy will be providing food during the event. In addition, Darius “Tenacious” Godwin of Delaware will play music during the event. “DJ Tenacious will play what the audience wants to hear and it is going to be a lot of fun,” Bean said. “It will
be good dancing music and we are hoping people will come out and dance.” Attendees can participate in a live raffle featuring gift cards from local restaurants, VIP passes to Planet Maze, a birthday party at Beach Bounce, portraits, gift certificates to K-Coast, OC Florist and OC Massage, and a car detailing certificate to Pohanka of Salisbury. Proceeds from “Brews and Bites” will go toward the $5 million needed for construction of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean in Ocean Pines. Overall, close to $4 million has been raised so far, Bean said. “We are almost there and this event supports the campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean,” Bean said. “We appreciate Cole and Kellie spearheading this event and trying to bring in younger people in addition to encouraging entrepreneurship among their peers.” Cole Taustin, owner of Blu Crabhouse, and Kellie Meehan, assistant at Mann Properties, organized “Brews and Bites.” “I love the Coastal Hospice and it’s amazing,” Meehan said. “We are trying to get the younger community involved. It is a laid back party and something to enjoy.” Once built, the Ocean Pines water-
front hospice is slated to house patient rooms for individuals or elderly couples who are not safe caring for themselves at home on their own. “We are hoping to house at least 100 patients a year and to have a lot of community support services in there,” Bean said. The three-story-tall residence and outreach center will serve all four counties of Maryland’s lower Eastern Shore. “We also plan to house our current Worcester and Somerset County care teams who go out into patient homes including nurses, chaplains, social workers and nursing aids [at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean],” Bean said. “Ninety-five percent of care we give is in our patients own homes.” Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a private, nonprofit organization providing 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.

WP eighth graders take part in rustic adventure at EHOS
(Nov. 4, 2016) Worcester Preparatory School eighth graders bonded with nature and each other during a three-day, rustic adventure at Echo Hill Outdoor School (EHOS), Oct. 10-12. Echo Hill, located on the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland, has served as a platform for educating children about nature and the environment for more than 100 years. WPS Middle School students have been part of the Echo Hill Outdoor School tradition since the mid1970s. While team building with their peers, students experienced hands-on education outside the classroom. The eighth graders lived in tents while hiking through woods, climbing trees, building fires, learning hunting skills and studying marine life and maps. The school’s 300 acres of forests, meadows, freshwater shrub swamp and mile-long beach on the Chesapeake Bay made the perfect playground for a variety of environmental studies. The daily activities, which included an adventure course and a 40-foot lab boat to investigate the Bay’s ecosystem, were aimed at building and enhancing teamwork, confidence and self-esteem.
(Left) Worcester Preparatory School eighth graders Fiona Pando, left, and Summer Walker feed goats at Echo Hill Outdoor School, while Grace Hopkins rides the 40-foot high zipline. WPS eighth grade students participated in a rustic adventure at EHOS, located on the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland, Oct. 10-12.
Museum seeks artifacts for exhibit (Nov. 4, 2016) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum is in the process of developing a new exhibit on Native Americans that will open in June of 2017. Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture has loaned the Ocean City museum its exhibit, “Native
Americans: First Contact on Lower Delmarva.” Through prints, first-hand accounts and other items, the exhibit shows how area Native Americans lived and worked at the time of their first contact with Europeans. It also depicts ways in which Native American life changed shortly thereafter, including a loss of
freedom, environmental alterations, continually shrinking territory and the establishment of reservations. Those with any artifacts pertaining to this topic who would be willing to loan them to the museum for the duration of the exhibit can contact Curator/Director Sandy Hurley at 410-289-4991.

Commentary
DeLuca, Cymek, Dare and Knight
In looking at Ocean City’s municipal election, the first thing that needs to be made clear is that this is not a probusiness/anti-business contest. It can’t be, since that would ignore the fundamental fact that, like it or not, Ocean City was founded as a business, grew as a business and remains a business. That would be the tourism business, which became so successful over the years that many of the resort’s visitors eventually decided that living here would be even better than vacationing here. The real estate business, the second largest driver of the resort economy, made that possible along with a moderate tax rate enabled by the flow of revenue into government from all of the tourism-related industries. So let’s forget this pro- and anti-business nonsense, while also understanding that Ocean City isn’t a gated community that can decide who can or can’t gain entry. This would include H2Oi rally participants and hangers-on who aggravate residents to no end, but over whom local government have little authority beyond enforcing the state and local laws. That said, we offer our endorsement in this election to incumbents Tony DeLuca, Mary Knight, Dennis Dare and Doug Cymek. They have done a reasonable job of trying to balance the desires of residents, who decide who serves in government, and the needs of the tourism and real estate industries, which generate the revenue that helps pay for the multitude of services that most communities of 6,000to-7, 000 citizens can only imagine. This is not to question the abilities of challenger John Gehrig, who is certainly capable of serving. Our issue is that he began his campaign a little too late to give the voting public a better idea of where he stands on the multiple issues that local government routinely faces. It’s for that reason that we recommend voting for Tony DeLuca, Mary Knight, Dennis Dare and Doug Cymek on Tuesday.

Letters to the editor Kicks for Kids event huge success for Coastal Hospice
Editor, Coastal Hospice sincerely thanks everyone who made this year’s Kicks for Kids fundraising event on Oct. 22 a big success. The event raised more than $5,000 to fund Coastal Kids Supportive Care, the pediatric program of Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care. Eight enthusiastic kickball teams braved the chilly weather and brisk wind, with the “Recess Studs,” a family team headed by David Capobianco, taking home the winner’s trophy. Everyone on the field played hard and contributed to the day’s success. We wouldn’t have attempted this event without generous volunteer and business support. We’re grateful to Sophia Smecker of the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce for chairing a committee that included Jenna Bowne, Kathleen Abercrombie, Mike Birely and Sarah Mahmoud; to Blair Carey for organizing the matches; to the members of Salisbury University’s Girls on Top of the World for volunteering in a number of roles; to Goose Creek, Southbound Lanes, Olympia Fitness, Uptown Cheapskate and Sub Runners for the gift card prizes; and to EtchArt for the trophies. We’re also grateful to SVN-Miller Commercial Real Estate for the use of their field. The needs of our pediatric patients and their families are unique, and often fall outside of the normal hospice benefit and reimbursement. Thanks to this generous community, we can afford to deliver on our promise to put our patients’ needs and goals first in all we do. Alane K. Capen President, Coastal Hospice
Few choices for conservatives in coming municipal election
Editor, This coming Tuesday, Ocean City's locallevel election will inevitably produce no real change and no real choice. The same mayor, along with at least three of the four incumbents, and/or a new liberal, will fill the council "team's" seats. All of their "achievements" being advertised are of their own agenda, despite the taxpayers' concerns. Their steam-rolling strategy succeeded through their mightily fighting transparency of specific facts and figures at any and all cost(s), as well as extinguishing the voting majority's tax petition. Unlike the national election, where you have a choice between the parties' liberal/"progressive" and conservative platforms, the local election offers only liberal/"progressive." For those who can't stomach endorsing such an agenda, there is still the option of voting without endorsing those candidates, which conveys that one cares about their community and cherishes their right to vote, but conscientiously remains true to their values. By all means, vote your values in both the local and national elections, but most importantly, please pray for God's will (which is always for our good and His glory) for us all, for all candidates and for all issues. Pray like your life depends on it, because, “believe you me,” it does. As always, all replies, whether in agreement, disagreement or indifferent, are absolutely welcome and encouraged at: noel55@comcast.net or 410-430-0535. Ellie Diegelmann Ocean City

KEEPING CLEAN The Adopt Your Beach program, which was launched by the OC Surf Club last spring to keep the resort beach clean, received a citation from Gov.

Was it ballot mischief or not?
R i c k Meehan. And, by the way, Rick By Stewart Dobson M e e h a n . That would Editor/Publisher be Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan, whose name I left off the sample ballot in last week’s paper. I assure you it was an honest mistake … or was it? As I have always wanted to be a man cloaked in mystery (the mystery to many is why I am allowed to do what I do and get paid for it), I wouldn’t mind perpetuating the myth that it happened because I mistakenly put on my “other” personality last Wednesday morning and emerged as the infrequently seen, but nevertheless dastardly and nefarious, Mr. Grumpy. That has occurred in the past, according to people who work here. Absenteeism is high on those days. In any event, this episode began when City Clerk Diana Chavis called last Wednesday to see if we could squeeze in the ballot at the last minute. Because I like Ms. Chavez, who is ever helpful, I replied that we could. The question at this point, however, would be whether that reply came from the decent me, Mr. Agreeable, or the evil Mr. Grumpy who was posing as Mr. Agreeable, in which case the response would have gone

something like this: “Why, of course we can help, Ms. Chavis. In fact, it would be my pleasure … MWAHahahahahahahahaha! (that’s mad genius laughter in case you didn’t recognize it). After that, I would put on my green visor and dark, round, rimless glasses (see Morpheus in “The Matrix”) scrunch my shoulders inward like a wingless bat and mutter, “What can I do to make this more interesting? I know, I’ll leave out the mayor’s name — MWAHahahahahahahahaha!” Or you could ask Ms. Chavis what I said and how I said it, although you might have to file a freedom of information act request because she’s tough when it comes to things like that, which would still give me 30 days to pretend that Mr. Grumpy was indeed at work just to keep people guessing. As it happened, really, it was completely inadvertent. What might have transpired, as I rushed to get the job done in the little time remaining, is that I was thinking about Mayor Meehan’s competition in next Tuesday’s election when I came to the line: “For Mayor, Vote for one.” Because no one is running against him, I typed in the name of no one. That sounds plausible to me and I swear that’s what happened. Although …
