Crackdown on car shows’ rowdies leads to ordinance that takes broad approach

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) We have met the enemy and he is standing on our mulch.

Despite the objection of many business owners, the Ocean City Council on Tuesday voted to proceed with a three-pack of new ordinances intended to reign in the disruption caused by the resort’s myriad of automotive events.

However, as was repeatedly discussed during Tuesday’s session, the ordinances seem to leave open several interpretive holes that would

allow for excessive police enforcement, including a prohibition on standing on one’s own landscaping.

“This ordinance is written far too broadly,” said John Lang, owner of the King Charles Hotel. “What I believe you want to address is large groups in parking lots having parties and causing damage, but this ordinance doesn’t say that.

“We frequently have people sit in our front yard to talk, eat a sandwich, drink a beer ... this ordinance makes it illegal for my customers to sit peacefully on my own property.”

For several years, the city has struggled to address increasingly unpleasant behavior during the resort’s shoulder season automotive events, a string of which will begin at the end of this month through the fall. This

year, OC BikeFest will take place on Sept. 17-20, the H2O International VW/Audi rally on Oct. 2-4, and Endless Summer Cruisin’ on Oct. 8-11.

BikeFest and Cruisin’ are city-approved events that rent the city’s inlet and convention center parking lots as show grounds, while H2O takes place off-island at the Fort Whaley Campground, although most attendees seem to socialize in the resort.

Cruisin’ and H2Oi, in particular, tend to attract a number of unpleasant hangers-on who do not participate in the shows themselves, but rather race up and down Coastal Highway, with the encouragement of (usually intoxicated) spectators who line the road and egg them on.

“It’s gotten to the point now where See HOTELS Page 3

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) After a three-year, concerted effort to have its municipal election merged with the staterun ballot, the Town of Ocean City appears to have said never mind.

The City Council voted this week to not request the inclusion of Ocean City’s mayor and council contests on the general ballot, despite having gone as far putting legislation through the Maryland General Assembly mandating the state and county elections boards to accept municipal ballots if requested.

Given that the state, which runs elections from the federal level down to the counties, requires considerable lead time to organize elections, this was the last minute for the city to bow out before work started on the consolidated ballot.

“The legislation passed, and I did contact the state to begin conducting our elections starting with November 2016,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres.

However, Ayres said, the city would also need to start now in order to change several clauses in the city’s charter pertaining to filing deadlines, candidate campaign disclosures, and other details. Most procedures would have to be moved to much earlier dates, since the state has early voting, absentee ballots, and other features which are absent from Ocean City’s municipal elections.

“Or, you could ask the state not to do it, and keep doing it the way you did it in 2012 and 2014, and you wouldn’t have to change anything,” Ayres told the council.

This option apparently seemed more appealing – in sharp contrast to the council’s position in 2012.

Hotels question how far city will take rules Continued from Page 1 we have to take additional action, not to discourage the events, but to allow them to continue,” said Mayor and acting City Manager Rick Meehan.

“What could happen now is something dramatic and unplanned that could ruin these events for everybody.

“We don’t want to come down on the people who are here to participate and not cause problems ... but when there are spectators throwing things out onto Coastal Highway, it only takes one bad swerve to cause an incident that will likely end these things forever.”

The first of the three proposed ordinances deals with drinking in parking lots, something that is already illegal on public property, but which could now also be illegal on private property that is bound by the town’s business regulations.

The ordinance would create a prohibition on an “unsealed or open container of any alcoholic beverage in any required parking area of a business license holder.”

Although the ordinance does not define “required parking,” it is being interpreted as meaning parking that is required under the city’s zoning code, which mandates on-site customer or user parking for any licensed establishment.

“It would be for required parking,” clarified City Solicitor Guy Ayres.

“There aren’t many places that have enough excess parking under the code that would allow [uncontrolled drinking] to happen.”

Hotels, however, were naturally wary that customers in their own parking lots who were not causing disruptions would be unduly bothered by police, under the often-cited idea of preventative enforcement.

“Last fall, we had the chief [of Police] and the mayor at our board meeting ... we too feel like there are instances of rowdy behavior during these events,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.

“We had a very lively discussion and I think the concern was that if you are using these ordinances to dictate what a property owner can do in

their own parking lot, there’s a grave concern over people wanting to continue owning businesses in this town.”

Similarly, the second of the three new pieces of legislation prohibits “nuisance uses” of required parking as well as “destructive uses” of landscaping. Similar to parking, landscaped setbacks are required on most buildings in Ocean City under the zoning code, for both aesthetic purposes as well as to help absorb stormwater runoff.

The definition of “nuisance use” includes the setup of “tents, trailers, structures, cooking devices, chairs, tables, coolers, or other objects for congregational purposes that prevent the use of the parking area for its intended purpose.”

The definition of “destructive use” of landscaping is similar, and also in-

cludes a prohibition on “the congregation, loitering, or lingering of persons ... for any purpose other than immediate passage.”

Landscaping is defined as “nongrassy and mulched areas,” essentially anything other than a lawn.

“Destruction of property is already illegal,” said Councilman Matt James.

“Trespassing is already illegal ... but if somebody wants to let people sit in their mulch, who cares? It’s private property.”

A majority of the City Council, however, defended the policies as well-intentioned.

“This isn’t about Mary Knight sitting there with one beer to watch a [Ford] Thunderbird go by,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. “People who are there with coolers, sitting all day...I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask them to leave, just like the

‘broken windows’ policy that Giuliani did so well with in New York.”

“I realize it appears to be stripping the owners of their property rights to say no one can drink in their parking lot,” said Councilman and Police Commission Chair Doug Cymek. “But the police department is going to use discretion. We’re not looking for the police to swoop down because they spot one gentleman drinking a beer.”

The only member of council with strong objections to the legislation was James, himself a hotelier.

Disorderly behavior, such as that which commonly occurs on the side of the road during automotive events, is already illegal, James said. The fact that it is not being contained is thus not a legal roadblock, but rather one of police manpower or coordination.

Police stress discretion in use of legislation Continued from Page 3 are issues that are already against the law,” James said. “People who are disorderly can be cited for being disorderly. People who are sitting drinking beer in a parking lot and keeping to themselves aren’t necessarily doing anything wrong ... I don’t think we need ordinances to prevent people from doing stuff that isn’t a problem.

Once it becomes a problem, you already have the ability to take care of it.”

But Meehan argued that new laws were necessary to allow the police to disperse problem crowds early in the day, before they got out of control at night.

“If you had to come out and address all the issues that happen at midnight during these events, you couldn’t do it,” Meehan said. “That means that if we find ways to limit them or contract them, we can keep everyone safe. But right now your police chief is telling you that during certain times, he did not have the ability to respond to all those events.”

Ocean City Police Department Chief Ross Buzzuro repeatedly stressed officer judgment in using the ordinances, if passed.

“Our enforcement is just, fair, and equitable,” Buzzuro said. “There are situations where an officer can assess a situation and determine what is problematic and what is not. Currently, there are limitations to our response ... the ordinance would give us additional leverage.”

“If [officers] weren’t able to take care of the issues last year, I don’t see how they could do that now,” James countered. “We’re not saying to let people drink beer on the curb. That’s already illegal. But if you don’t have the staff or enough officers to enforce that, this is just one more ordinance that isn’t going to be enforced.”

Councilman Wayne Hartman, while in favor of the ordinances in

concept, desired to ease up on the security requirements placed on businesses.

Property owners could also be fined, or even have their business licenses revoked, if they “permit, encourage, or allow” violation in parking or landscaping areas. The open container ordinance states that the presence of security personnel, or “proof of written or oral warning” to the violators creates the presumption of compliance, while the nuisance and destructive use ordinance does not specify what constitutes a property owner “allowing” illegal behavior.

“The way this is written, the pressure for small businesses ... as broad as this is, I have concerns about the impact,” Hartman said, suggesting that the legislation provide for a cityapproved sign, similar to the city’s ordinance on car-towing signs.

The third ordinance being pitched would prohibit the parking of trailers on public streets from May 1 to Oct. 31 of any given year. Trailer parking in some areas of town is at a premium, placing trailers for hot rods and motorcycles on residential streets.

“This would prevent people bringing cars in and out of those trailers at 1 a.m., disturbing the residents and driving the cars back through the neighborhoods,” Meehan said.

The city is already planning to offer the organizers of Cruisin’ the ability to rent the city lots at the West Ocean City Park-and-Ride and the 100th Street library.

“The idea would be that they barricade off all five points of access to the Park-and-Ride and decide what is best for them to control it for their registered participants to park trailers,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins.

Adkins estimated that roughly 200 hot rod trailers could be stored on the

site. But with 3,400 registered participants in Cruisin’, that may not be enough.

“That’s a great idea, but I know we’ve all been getting emails from people who don’t want to leave their expensive cars in trailers not close to where they’re staying,” James said.

“There are a lot of private lots around that arrangements could be made,” Cymek said. “Granted it’s less than 50 days before the event and things will have to happen quickly.”

All in all, many businesses feared that the sudden onslaught of restrictions would be too much for many event-goers, even if the city means well.

“If you do all three of these [ordinances] and get very tough about it, you may chase away the people who come down for these weekends, the majority of whom are very good peo-

ple,” said Ross Wilde, whose company owns five motels. “[Our guests] have already said ‘if [the city] passes this and we can’t park our trailers, you can cancel our group’...we’re already seeing blowback, and you haven’t done anything yet,” Wilde told the council. “If you act like you’re attacking them – because that’s how they perceive it – we would not only lose them for the car weekend, but for other times as well.”

All three ordinances will be up for a first reading and vote during the council meeting of Tuesday, Sept. 8, with all of the members save James inclined toward passage.

“It’s going to reach a breaking point where everyone is going to want to do away with the events all together,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “If that’s where you want to end up, we can do nothing.”

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Labor Day weekend has arrived and as summer comes to a close, hotels are offering special discounts on rooms to keep guests in the resort during what’s become known as Ocean City Hotel Week.

Promotional discounts started Aug. 30 and continue through Sept.

10.

This year Hotel Week has expanded to include 34 businesses participating in the sixth annual event, said Susan Jones, Executive Director for the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association.

“We mimic it after restaurant week by pulling together members who offer good deals and encourage new business,” Jones said. “Those who [participate] always tell us they sell rooms.”

Participating businesses are offering “beach bargains” of 15-25 percent off standard rates for trips lasting three to five nights, or an extra night free for those who stay three to five nights. Labor Day weekend is excluded from the deals.

Discounts are available at the Clarion, Seacrets, Carousel, Commander Hotel, Dunes Manor, Princess Bayside and the Hilton, among others.

“It’s a great time to try somewhere different at a reduced rate — who wouldn’t want a free night or discounted room?” Jones said.

Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association members started Hotel Week in 2010 to help bring people to Ocean City after the kids go back to school and the season starts to wind down.

Visitors have been calling to ask when the event week will begin, Jones added.

“We encourage people who do not have children or on a weekend [to come to Ocean City],” Jones said. “It’s a great time to come down with the beautiful weather.”

City polls stay simultaneous, but separate, from state’s meaning that having two separate polling places was actually not that big of a hurdle to participation.

Using the state’s electronic ballot system, instead of the city’s mechanical voting machines, would also mean that results would be delayed, and eliminate the traditional gathering of candidates at the convention center as the city’s elections board unlocks the machine counters.

“They read our results in an hour [after voting ends], and it has that community feeling,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight.

The only sticking point with continuing with an independent election is the cost. The city would have to reimburse the state and county an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 to pay for programming of the voting database.

But this would be a one-time cost, and over several elections would be compensated by the savings from the city not having to pay for advertising, setup, and police security – an estimated expense of $3,900 per election.

Continuing with the separate election, however, will eventually require the city’s 1950s-vintage voting machines to be replaced. Parts are exceedingly hard to find, and each year at least one machine goes out of commission.

Continued from Page 1 Shortly before the 2012 election, the council voted to move Ocean City’s ballot date back from its usual time in October, to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, when the federal government mandates that all general election ballots are to be cast.

The intent at the time, the council said, was to increase voter turnout by having Ocean City’s election appear alongside higher-profile contests, such as the presidency.

But because the state refused to add the city contest without legislative instruction, the city continued to hold separate, but simultaneous, elections in November of 2012 and 2014, using the city’s own voting machines as had been done in the past.

Even though they finally had the option, city leaders opined, merging the ballots themselves was not actually necessary.

“I think everyone supports the fact that we had it on the same date, it made our voter turnout greater than it had been,” said Mayor Rick Meehan.

However, Meehan noted, “when we looked at the numbers, the vast majority of those who voted in the state and national election voted in the Ocean City election as well,”

Seacrets distillery gets final gov’t approval Moore cleared to build after long regulatory process at city, state levels for liquor project

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Seacrets owner Leighton Moore breezed through the final approval step this week for his long-time desire to build Ocean City’s first craft liquor distillery on his 49th Street property.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave final site plan approval to the design, which will feature a two-story distillery and tasting bar with a vintage industrial

design, utilizing brick and steel beams.

Plans are to remove the small condo buildings on the south side of 49th Street, which Seacrets owns, and build a distillery to the immediate east of Seacrets’ Morley Hall nightclub facility.

Prior to this week’s final site plan approval, Moore had also had to gain conditional use approval from both the commission and the city council, given that manufacturing uses such as distilling are permitted by zoning only after review of their impact by both voting bodies.

More importantly, Moore backed

legislation this spring in Annapolis to permit distilleries in Worcester County, which were previously not permitted by state law.

Seacrets’ state license now permits the production of up to 100,000 gallons of liquor annually, of which up to 15,500 gallons can be served inside Seacrets, and the rest sold to a beverage distributor.

However, Moore said he hopes to get those limits adjusted as the business grows. The facility itself can be easily added on to during later phases of construction.

“The building we’ve shown can satiate the current allowance, but as it grows I’ll be coming back with

additional plans,” Moore said.

“Right now, we know we can exceed the 15,500 gallons. We pour a lot more than that [at Seacrets].”

Even longer term, Moore said he hopes to add a third and fourth story to the distillery, which will serve as a kitchen, green room, and recording studio for the future growth of Morley Hall into a larger concert and convention venue.

Seacrets currently offers its own branded line of liquors, although these are produced on contract by Delaware Distilling Company.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Bill Badger, who joined Worcester County government in November 2011 as its director of economic development, resigned Tuesday after he concluded that he and the county commissioners did not agree on his purpose.

He turned in his letter of resignation Bill Badger during the closed session before Tuesday’s regular county commissioner meeting, effective immediately.

“My goals were pretty simple: create jobs, increase tax revenue and foster a business-friendly environment,” Badger said. “The county government was not necessarily supportive of that

mission. The situation wasn’t going to change, so I had to.”

Badger’s pursuit of those goals occasionally led to clashes with staff, most recently during a county meeting where the merits of a solar energy arrangement in Pocomoke City were, in Badger’s opinion, being unfairly criticized.

Earlier this year, Badger promoted a plan to reevaluate the way water and sewer fees were being handled at Riddle Farm, feeling the price tag was too high.

Badger pointed to the successes he’d had across the bridge using tax increment financing in developing the Arundel Mills shopping center and Park Place condominium developments and thought that might be applicable in this case.

The county examined the issue, studied it, and ultimately decided to keep the status quo, fearing the loss of customers already in the pipeline or delays due to the uncertainty presented by the county revisiting the topic.

Badger also shepherded some projects the county has decided to invest in and study, including a proposed excursion train tentatively planned to travel between Berlin and Snow Hill, and a proposed sports stadium, which is currently under review by the state legislature.

“I just turned 60 and have the luxury of deciding what to do next, so I’m going to take some time. I took the job here with the intention of retiring here — I’m not going anywhere,” Badger said.

County government officials confirmed that Deputy Director Merry Mears will serve as interim director until a search is organized for Badger’s replacement.

“The county has a great deputy director who will do a fantastic job,” Badger said.

Badger replaced former director Jerry Redden and, because of his work elsewhere in the state, was inducted into the Maryland Economic Development Association Hall of Fame last year.

Coastal Hwy. & Dagsboro St., Fenwick Island | Open Daily | 302.537.1414

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) More than 6,500 students are enrolled in Worcester County’s 14 public schools for the 2015-2016 school year with Tuesday, Sept. 8, marking the first day back in session. “We are thrilled to welcome our students and staff back from the summer break,� said Carrie Sterrs, schools spokesperson. “We look forward to a very successful year.�

An estimated 6,631 students will fill Worcester’s halls this year with 657 teachers in the district, compared to last year when 6,654 students were enrolled and 687 teachers taught in the county.

The 180-day school year is slated to end Friday, June 17, with three cancelation days allowed for snow and other inclement weather days.

The last day of school will be adjusted if the county school system does not use the days or they exceed that number, Sterrs said.

While students spend 180 days in class, the state requires teachers to work 188 days. Some of those are

made up of professional days, which give time off for students, but require teachers report for a full day to do required work such as reporting grades.

There are four of those days scheduled during this year, three at the end of each marking period and one on the primary presidential election in April.

This year the schools will implement “Teach. Learn. Connect.� during the fall with kindergarten through third graders receiving iPads, fourth to eighth grade utilizing chromebooks and high school students each given a laptop.

Logging into the system gives students and teachers access to a smorgasbord of online search criteria and a list of all digital assets. The system is also a platform for teachers to customize instruction to individual students or groups.

Lynne Barton, principal of Stephen Decatur Middle School, said teachers have been training to integrate technology into their curriculums and the learning management system offers professional development opportunities for teachers. “There are countless online resources that teachers now have access to extend and enhance student learning,� Barton said. “It is our job See TABLETS Page 16

Sterrs echoed Barton by explaining how the devices create opportunities for student engagement in addition to providing tools and laying the foundation for all students to be prepared for college and their careers.

“Teach. Learn. Connect. is a very exciting step in Worcester County Public Schools’ journey toward digital conversion and will be transformative for our education system,” Sterrs said. “We believe that teachers incorporating technology and using innovative techniques in the classroom will give students a rich and rigorous experience that will better prepare them for the future.”

Thomas Zimmer, principal of Stephen Decatur High School, said the start of a new school year is always exciting with everyone starting fresh and the creation of opportunities for new ideas, technology, friends and activities.

“For ninth graders especially, it is a time of exciting new firsts from academic choices to sports and clubs to join,” Zimmer added. “This year’s senior class entered Stephen Decatur High School the first year I was prin-

cipal here, so the class of 2016 will have a special place in my heart.”

The annual Freshman Seahawk Day took place yesterday, Thursday, Sept. 3, where incoming freshman came for morning orientation to tour the building, go on an abbreviated schedule of classes to meet teachers and learn to navigate the building.

Upper class students were in attendance to assist, and freshman heard about what goes on during the school year at Decatur.

Zimmer and Barton both mentioned how the custodians have worked hard to make sure their schools look immaculate in addition to teachers being involved in professional development over summer break to enhance and improve their methods in the classroom.

“We only have two years to get to know our students and their families, which is a very short window of time to build relationships and prepare students for high school,” Barton said. “This year we have planned additional opportunities to encourage parent participation in our school events and we are working to extend our community partnerships through our Service Learning Program.”

Strong rips cause another spike in OC water rescues

Beach patrol faces harsh conditions as manpower tapers off for season end

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Strong rip currents, combined with a declining number of seasonal staff, kept the Ocean City Beach Patrol running from rescue to rescue this past weekend.

On Saturday, the patrol logged 357 rescues, and another 136 on Sunday, according to OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin. “We had a full moon, plus tropical storm activity off the coast, which gave us very strong tides and what we call ‘flash’ rip currents,� Arbin said.

With the summer season winding down, the OCBP is at the tail end of its manpower. Guards who are students and teachers themselves – a bulk of the force – have returned to school.

At the height of the summer, the Beach Patrol typically deploys 90 guard stands along the nine miles of beach in Ocean City, but as manpower dwindles, the number of stands is reduced and the remaining guards are spaced farther apart on the sand.

This past weekend, Arbin said, 48

stands were deployed. During this past week, that number dipped further to 30 stands.

While guards typically concentrate on preventative warnings to swimmers, low manpower meant that most guards were rushing to make rescues, which reduced their ability to do preventions, which in turn created more rescue situations. “Some of them were running 200 yards south of the stand to make a rescue, and by the time the got back

they had to run 200 yards north to make another,� Arbin said.

For Labor Day – the last big weekend of swimming for the summer – most of the OCBP’s staff will return from their off-season jobs across the Mid-Atlantic region to pitch in. “Of the people who are still here, nobody has off this week, everybody is out on the beach,� Arbin said. “When we get most of our people back this weekend, then those crews See STAFF Page 20

City in no rush on family’s request to name building

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The city is in no rush to flex its muscles when it comes to naming, or not naming, the new Ocean City Beach Patrol headquarters, despite what seems to be a concerted public relations effort by the family of former OCBP Capt. Robert Craig.

Over the last two weeks, media outlets as well as a number of business owners and local notables have received letters from Craig’s son and grandson, requesting their support to push the city to name the facility the Robert S. Craig Beach Patrol Headquarters.

Craig was in charge of the OCBP for 42 years, from 1946 until 1987, and was largely responsible for the growth of the OCBP from a small group of guards into the organized force of roughly 150 personnel that it sees today.

But although the city has named public facilities after three former mayors, it has not yet gone so far as to name an administrative building after an employee.

“There has been no formal discussion at this point on the council,” said mayor and acting City Manager Rick Meehan.

“Naming an administrative building is just not something we’ve typically done.

It would have to be a decision of the mayor and City Council.”

Currently, the city’s convention center on 40th Street holds the official title of the Roland E. Powell Convention

Center, which contains the Trimper Dockside Exhibit Hall. The inlet parking lot is also titled the Hugh T. Cropper Inlet Parking Lot. When the new OCBP headquarters was opened earlier this summer, current OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin dedicated each floor of the new facility to a past beach patrol leader. The third floor is dedicated to Craig, with the first and second floors dedicated to Lt. Warren Williams and Capt. George Schoepf, respectively.

Craig’s family, it would seem, would like a more formal commemoration.

“Captain Craig was an institution in this town,” Craig’s son wrote in his widely distributed letter. “I have been told by countless OCBP alum that there never was, nor likely will be, a comparable mentor, leader, or respected individual as Captain Craig, and the naming of the building the Robert S. Craig Beach Patrol Headquarters brings honor to the city equally as much as vice versa.”

Craig is credited with implementing a number of the OCBP’s signature techniques, which have been copied and studied worldwide. These include the rotation of coverage during rescues, the use of semaphore flag communications, guards’ communication with the public, and others.

“Bob Craig was a great man and we all hold him in high regard,” Meehan said. “It’s more of a question of whether naming office buildings is something we want to start doing.”

Staff to return for Labor Day Continued from Page 19 will get their day off.”

The majority of swimmers were rescued without injury. On Saturday, the Beach Patrol did see one swimmer death, although this was not a drowning and “appeared to be heart-

related,” Arbin said.

“We believe that was an over-exertion situation,” Arbin said. “The gentleman came out of the water and was standing when he collapsed. The guard attempted CPR, but he was gone.”

County to get tough on nuisance properties Process still complaint driven; staff bracing for influx of calls from action

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Deciding that the county government has been too lenient with derelict properties, the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday ordered a review of existing ordinances managing the issue, and upon finding them adequate, decided that they were just being too nice.

What that likely means is shorter deadlines to make required improvements and more property owners called to the carpet to explain why they might need more time to make changes — if and when those property owners can be located.

Director of Review and Permitting Ed Tudor said one of the major obstacles in dealing with nuisance properties is identifying who exactly owns them.

“Sometimes there is no response, sometimes they’re deceased or they’ve walked away from the mortgage,” Tudor said.

And sometimes that is just the beginning. Tudor said he recalled a property that ended up being owned by a bank in Washington State. When contacted, Tudor said, the bank didn’t

302.539.6989 31874 Roxana Rd., Ocean View

know they owned the property, nor did they know where Worcester County was located.

Assistant County Administrator Kelly Shannahan said owners are usually contacted via regular and certified mail, the latter of which can take several attempts to deliver. This delivery method presents problems when dealing with shortened timelines for compliance.

“The past practice is to try to help people, but what ends up happening is they do just enough to meet the requirements and slip back after,” Tudor said.

Taking for granted that a property owner is located but is either unwilling or unable to abate the issue, the problem becomes finding people ready to do the work.

“We could get contractors on retainer,” to do some of the work, but “demolitions are different circumstances,” Tudor explained.

“That would require a lot of funds and a list of contractors ready to hop when we say ‘hop,’ and when the newspaper reports this expect your calls to go up,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said.

Tudor said his office receives all types of calls for “anything under the sun,” including law enforcement issues, supposed conditions of Ocean City hotel rooms and lack of preferred

Elderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence delays Shoreline Comm. vote Functions could move to county staff, disputes to go to Board of Zoning Appeals

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) When the Worcester County Commissioners first voted to abolish the Shoreline Commission in late July, the vote was close â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 4-3 in opposition, but with one of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voters, Commissioner Chip Bertino, deciding to revisit the issue weeks later the stage has not yet been properly set for another full vote.

Commissioner Ted Elder, who joined fellow commissioners Joe Mitrecic and Jim Bunting in voting to abolish the board, was absent from this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceedings due to a death in the family. Bertinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recon-

sidered vote, along with the others who have not signaled a similar change in heart, would be enough to do away with the beleaguered board.

However, with Elderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence the vote would likely tie, and the motion would be defeated again. The commissioners sidestepped this by unanimously agreeing to table the issue until the next meeting.

Under the current structure, a neighbor believing a project under the Shoreline Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisdiction would negatively affect their property could request a hearing.

Neighbors would also be alerted by mail if a major project were intended in their area.

Under the proposed legislation, amended by Bertino during the first go-round and approved by the rest of the county commissioners, these

processes would remain largely intact. However, instead of a public hearing of a seven-member board, the initial determination would be made by a member of the Department of Environmental Services staff under Director Bob Mitchell. The Board of Zoning Appeals would hear appeals of those decisions.

Mitchell previously called the existing process â&#x20AC;&#x153;mechanized,â&#x20AC;? and said most of the work of the commission was done resolving disputes.

Abolitionists cite the costs associated with the proceedings and a desire to streamline the approval process.

Bertino said previously there was no room for subjectivity in the decisions made by the board, so the county would be able to remove a layer of government and save on

some of the associated costs.

According to Bertino, 72 percent of applicants to the commission are from his district, Ocean Pines.

Defenders of the board say the costs, such as fees, are largely out of their hands, while other expenses, such as legal representation, are optional. Opponents of the change have also said they fear the consolidation of power by removing decision-making from a seven-member board and vesting it within a single county employee.

Board pursuing tougher stance on derelict real estate Continued from Page 22 ernment Center is because of a run-in with a property owner over similar issues.

However, property owners do have a right to be heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The procedural things fall on us,â&#x20AC;?

Commissioner Jim Bunting said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be pretty when it comes in,â&#x20AC;? Tudor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get the grandmom up there with three small children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the county is going to have to deal with. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it as a reporter but not sitting as a commissioner. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how it will play out, but I do know I have no intention of undercutting staff who do what we ask them to do,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Chip Bertino said.

Should all attempts at remediation fail, County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said the government should attempt to obtain the deed to the property through the legal system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that way the outlay for improvements might one day be recouped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the law,â&#x20AC;?

Tudor said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ordinance is pretty good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how aggressive you want to be.â&#x20AC;?

Tudor said 21 properties in the county fall into one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nuisanceâ&#x20AC;? categories in the law, with another 24 falling under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tall grassâ&#x20AC;? section.

County benefit scenarios delivered Changes would only affect new hires; Commissioners request more information

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The process of reexamining post-employment benefits for new hires in county government continued this week, as Human Resources Director Stacey Norton ‘I’d like to see gave the Worceswhat other ter County Comcounties are missioners three doing as a scenarios for modifying the comparison. We employee share have nothing to for post-employment healthcare compare with’ County coverage for spouses and de- Commissioner pendents.

Joe Mitrecic This process will continue at a work session tentatively scheduled for Oct. 6, after the regularly scheduled meeting.

Until this year, county retirees enjoyed a 10 percent cost share to cover both spouses and dependents under the age of 26 on their

health care plan when the county commissioners decided to double the employee share to 20 percent during this year’s budget negotiations.

Going a step further, the commissioners directed Norton to present different scenarios that would affect the latest batch of new hires within the county — hires that have only started trickling in after a countywide freeze ended July 1.

The first option presented by Norton was to keep the current system in place. The benefit of this option, Norton wrote in a memo to the commissioners, is that it is the “most attractive in recruiting and retaining staff.”

The second option is to shift the entire cost of family coverage back onto the retiree. This option could potentially save the county about $261,000 in fiscal 2030 and almost $715,000 in fiscal 2040.

The third option increases the burden to the retiree to half of the total premium, and therefore cuts the estimated potential savings numbers in half, to $130,000 in FY 2030 and $357,000 in FY 2040.

Norton’s final recommendation, however, was none of those op-

tions. After meeting with CareFirst, the county’s provider, Norton said the greatest financial benefit to the county could be obtained by implementing a wellness program focusing on education, assessments training and employee engagement.

“Cost savings achieved by the Wellness Program would begin to accumulate almost immediately and compound annually to produce the greatest overall benefit to the county,” Norton wrote.

In terms of hiring and recruitment, County Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said, “I’d like to see what other counties are doing as a comparison. We have nothing to compare with.”

Mitrecic said he wants to see information about what neighboring counties and states are offering.

This information is expected to be presented at the next meeting two weeks from now.

An important component to these discussions, County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said, was the board of education, as every decision the county has been considering would affect those employees as well. No one from the school board was present during the meeting.

Public service, education spending positive, crime rate negative in rankings

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Worcester County’s lower-than-average property tax rate, higher-than-average crime rate and top-tier schools placed it ninth in the state in a study by finance website SmartAsset.

The methodology, according to managing editor A.J. Smith, was to determine which county, from the more than 3,000 in the nation, was the best and grade downward.

The big winner?

“Orleans, Vt.,” Smith said, “They have a high tax rate, but highly-rated schools and low crime.”

Orleans is on the U.S.-Canada border about 50 miles southeast of Montreal.

Worcester, on the other hand, placed a respectable ninth within the state of Maryland, between Frederick at eighth and St. Mary’s at 10th, due to the reported crime rate.

“Our study was conducted based on the proportion of taxes going to local services like public safety. The tax rate in Worcester is lower than average, and the crime rate is higher,” she said.

SmartAsset played the numbers game.

“There’s always someone who is happy to may more taxes to have less crime, or someone who wants a score of 10 in every area but would be happy with an eight. These results are just what the numbers show,” Smith said.

Their numbers show that Worcester scored 74 percent in the property tax rate, which is not the same as the current tax rate of 83.5 cents per $100 of assessed value. Instead, according to the SmartAsset website, they took the number of households, the median home value, which they determined to be about $253,000, and average tax rate to calculate a per-capita property tax.

Schools, where Worcester scored 10 out of 10, were ranked by average reading and math scores against average rates within the nation’s counties.

The third of the major criteria was the crime rate, which is based upon the violent and property crime rates per 100,000 people in the county (Worcester’s crime rate is driven by its tourist population, but is calculated against its resident population).

Some people are always going to think everything is too high, and, Smith said, it’s good to remember people are getting something back from what they put in.

“You’re always going to be paying property taxes, so finding out what is best for you is the intent of the study,” Smith said.

The New York City based, venture capital funded SmartAsset is a collection of online tools to help people make those decisions, Smith said.

Trams to regain week of service after Labor Day City to run Boardwalk transit through Sept. 13, first time since post-’09 budget cuts

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The Ocean City Council approved a measure on Tuesday to run the Boardwalk tram line one week after Labor Day, the first time the service has been extended past the holiday since the 2009 season.

City trams will now run through Sunday, Sept. 13, although with slightly reduced service. Only three vehicles will run at a time, instead of all eight the city owns. Only the south-end ticket booth will be open.

Up through 2009, city trams stayed operational through September, and during weekends into October. Subsequent budget cuts because of the recession stopped tram service on Labor Day, with limited service resuming for Sunfest.

“Basically, it was discontinued because the unemployment costs overrode the revenue,” said Mayor and acting City Manager Rick Meehan.

The employer’s share of unemployment insurance, paid to the

state, is one of the Town of Ocean City’s most critical budgetary expenses, given the large number of seasonal employees the city hires every spring and lays off every fall.

Limiting the number of weeks and hours worked can cut back on employees’ claims, and thus the total unemployment cost charged to the city by the state.

While the net impact of an additional week is impossible to gauge precisely, city Budget Manager Jennie Knapp said it is likely that the added revenue from a week’s fares will outweigh additional unemployment costs.

In 2009, 39 of the 53 people employed by the city’s tram system qualified for unemployment benefits. Currently, with the abbreviated schedule, only 16 qualify.

The tram system is the only profitable part of the city’s Transportation Division. Tram revenues are used to subsidize the bus system, which is much more costly and operates at a significant loss.

Tram fares bring in roughly $1.1 million per year, and bus fares $3.1 million. Even with state and federal grant funding added, the transit system as a whole loses around $1.4 million after accounting for operating costs.

Commission goes for bottling rights at 45th Street brewery Assawoman Bay Brewing Co. trying to get city to ease up on craft beer zoning regs

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) As a sign that the city may be warming up a bit to the economic potential of craft beer, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave approval this week for Assawoman Bay Brewing Company to start bottling their beer.

The approval — or rather, the reversal of a bottling ban originally placed on the operation — will still have to be cleared by the city council, which has typically been a bit more wary when it comes to manufacturing beer in areas surrounded by residential condos.

“I think the city is starting to get more comfortable with it, people are more knowledgeable about the brewing process, and bottling is a relatively common thing,” said Pete Cosby, the brewery’s attorney.

Under Ocean City’s zoning code, breweries are allowed by right only if they are incidental to another on-site commercial use that explicitly permitted — such as bar or restaurant.

Assawoman Brewing started out as such, with its beers only being of-

fered at the adjoining eateries in 45th Street Village. The entire complex is owned by Sunsations founder Avi Sibony.

Brewing for off-site wholesale, however, is a conditional use, meaning that it is allowed only with the approval of the commission and the city council, both of which must review the use for its impact on the surrounding area and set conditions to mitigate that effect.

The Ocean City Brewing Company, located in the former Adkins Company lumber yard on 56th Street, was the first to seek such approval, during which the council set the precedent of prohibiting canning and bottling, which followed in the wholesale approval for Assawoman Brewing.

“I think that’s what concerned the mayor and council, is that they didn’t want these sites turned into a bottling factory,” said Commissioner Peck Miller.

Assawoman Brewing’s proposed bottling operation would be very limited. A single, manually-operated bottler will be wheeled out only for small runs, according to brewmaster Jason Weissberg. The machine has a footprint of about 10 square feet, and will stay inside the brewery building.

Operation limited to single machine, 300 cases/week Continued from Page 31 “It’s a common request for people who are coming to Ocean City and seeing the upswing of beer culture,” Weissberg said. “People are more likely to pick up a six-pack and take it home than a bar is to commit to buying a whole keg, or people in that bar or restaurant are to ordering a beer with their dinner. They tend to go with a beer they’ve already had and know they like.”

The commission voted to recommend derestriction of the brewery to the council, with the stipulation that no more than one bottling machine is used, and no more than 300 24bottle cases be produced per week.

This itself could become a precedent, if the council relents and agrees to gradually allow bottling and canning in the resort.

“If we do this, we know that Ocean City Brewing Company is going to come back [and ask for the same rights],” said Commissioner Lauren Taylor.

COUNTY BRIEFS (Sept. 4, 2015) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following issues during their meeting on Tuesday.

has no share in the liability of the loan.

Legacy contract delayed

The county approved an outlay of $60,070 for a new phone system and about $69,000 for additional technology to make the system work.

However, $200,000 had been budgeted for this expenditure, and the county is reviewing additional phone projects from outside agencies to spend the surplus.

Of concern to Emergency Services Director Fred Webster, who spearheaded this project, is the Parks and Recreation department, which has been unable to use voicemail for about a month because the phones are becoming nonfunctional.

The commissioners will review additional expenditures at the next meeting in two weeks.

The commissioners agreed to table a Coastal Bays Rural Legacy area sale for $231,000 for about 106 acres in Snow Hill because Commissioner Ted Elder was absent.

This property was named as one of the top five priorities for the program outlined in this year’s grant application, according to Bob Mitchell, director of environmental services.

Elder has voted against these measures in the past.

Co. backs Girdletree VFC The Girdletree Volunteer Fire Company required a county resolution acknowledging the service the fire company provides and authorizing them to participate in a low-interest loan program from Taylor Bank.

The loan is for $310,000 according to supporting documentation, and a down payment of $229,000 has been provided.

The loan will be used for a new truck.

The commissioners approved the request, with the understanding the county

Emergency notification Just in time for hurricane season, the county’s contract with Airbus DS for mass notification system access has expired.

Emergency Services Director Fred Webster recommended switching vendors to ENC/Code Red due to lower cost with more allowable calling minutes.

On a question from Commissioner Bud church, Webster said he did not know how long it would take to get the new system up and running.

Inter-governmental loans The county approved the use of a note-payable agreement with entities that frequently borrow from or maintain balances with Worcester’s general fund. The interest rate is set at .95 percent.

This is done, County Treasurer Phil Thompson said, for the benefit of the auditors currently evaluating the county’s finances.

Equipment purchased The county approved the purchase of two dump trucks at a cost of almost $241,000, though none of the submitted bids met the specifications exactly.

Public Works Director John Tustin said the deviations were minor and that they would not affect the performance of the vehicles.

The commissioners also approved the purchase of a milling head for a skid steer loader for $14,150, and approved the bid specifications for the aforementioned skid steer loader.

More details emerge about OC license plate scanners Data to be stored on state system, must be erased within one year, per policy

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The ways to enter and exit Ocean City without having your license plate scanned by law enforcement, checked against a database for violations and stored elsewhere in the state have dwindled to one.

That loophole, according to OCPD Public Information Officer Lindsay Richard, will be closed within the next few months, as a scanner will be installed at the north end of town. It will be paid for by a grant of about $125,000 from the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention, Richard said.

Last week, the OCPD closed a lane of the Route 90 bridge on Thursday to install the second scanner, which had been paid for in large part through asset forfeitures, according to OCPD Lieutenant Scott Harner.

Harner said engineer drawing fees, which he described as “relatively minimal” also figured into the cost of the device.

A license plate scanner has been operating on the Harry Kelley Bridge for “a number of months,” Richard said previously — which was the first time that information had been made public.

However, some OCPD vehicles are already equipped with the scanners and have been in use for some time.

“Like many agencies throughout the state and country, we have had multiple vehicles equipped with LPR cameras for several years now,” Harner said.

Every license plate entering Ocean City via routes 50 and 90 will be scanned, that information will be checked against a database for potential violations and if one is found, a picture of the vehicle will be taken, Richard said.

“The dispatch center will get an alert, and that way we have a approximate location and a description of the vehicle,” Richard said.

The photo is intended to aid officers in cases of stolen license plates, for example.

Locally, the scanner on Route 50 made itself useful last Friday, Harner said, when it alerted police to an allegedly stolen vehicle. Harner said its three occupants were arrested, a gun was found and one had an outstanding warrant in Virginia.

Harner said license plate scanners were used to locate Vester Flanagan, the man who is accused of shooting a reporter and cameraman on-air last week.

The American Civil Liberties Union in 2013 said only 47 of every 1 million plates read were linked to a stolen car or serious crime, and the

scanned data is kept longer than it should be.

The data from the scanners is not kept in Ocean City, but is transmitted to the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center in Pikesville, Md. OCPD has access to the data through the MCAC, Harner said.

“The primary function of the MCAC is to provide analytical support for all federal, state and local agencies involved in law enforcement, public health and welfare, public safety and homeland security in Maryland,” the agency’s web site reads.

According to the Standard Operating Procedures for license plate readers published on MCAC’s web site, the data collected from the scanner will be transmitted to their operations center via fiber optic cable on an encrypted virtual private network. This data will be kept for a period not to exceed one year, according to the published guidelines.

“After the one year period, the data will be purged unless it has become, or it is reasonable to believe that it will become, evidence, including evidence” that could implicate or exonerate a suspect “in a specific criminal or other law enforcement investigation or action” the policy reads.

OC third-highest spot in nation for Labor Day rentals

Expires SEPT. 30, 2015

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) TripAdvisor, which has become one of the top travel review web sites in the world, has ranked Ocean City third on its vacation rentals list for Labor Day weekend travelers.

“It’s great to see Ocean City get such recognition on TripAdvisor with our moderately priced options for guests and free events,” said Melanie Pursel, executive director of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. “Once we attract new people to Ocean City, they try it out and get hooked.”

The list was compiled from the number of vacation rental bookings and inquiries on TripAdvisor Vacation Rentals, which lists more than 720,000 vacation rentals from around the world.

“Vacation rentals have definitely been hot, with many doing mini-weeks such as a Thursday to Sunday,” Pursel said.

“It’s become a trend since not everyone can stay a whole week. We are finding the nature of families having kid activities and it’s hard to get away.”

On average, a week stay at a two-bedroom locally is $1,097.88 with Ocean City rentals being only one point below the highest overall travel rating.

According to a TripAdvisor survey, the number of Americans staying in a vacation rental rose seven percent from last year due to extra living space, low rates and great amenities as the top three reasons.

“It brings the whole family together with the option to cook inside and leaves enough room for extended family members to join,” Pursel said.

Regionally, the Southeast states are most popular among travelers, with the Mid-Atlantic following close behind and California drawing interest in the West.

Destin and Panama City Beach in Florida were the top two destinations with Myrtle Beach, S.C. coming in fourth on the list.

Americans are holding on to their last weekend of summer sun at the beach with 12 of the 15 most popular vacations located on the coast.

“As a destination, I’m thrilled that Ocean City made the top three,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “Labor Day is generally very weather dependent – so if forecasts look good, we’ll do really well.”

During the Labor Day weekend, AAA Travel estimates 35.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from their home, which is a one percent increase from 2014.

It’s the fourth consecutive year there has been an increase, and the highest travel volume for the holiday since 2008.

According to AAA Travel, 733,000 Marylanders plan to take a trip this weekend, a half-percent increase from last year and the sixth year in a row there has been an increase in travel.

The holiday falls on the latest possible day it can occur, which attributes to the slight increase, when historically, the later on the calendar Labor Day falls, the less inclined Americans are to travel.

WORLD WAR II: VICTORY PARADE

Anniversary of Allied Victory Parade in Berlin, this week

By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, on 7 Sept. 1945, the Allied Victory Parade was held in Berlin, after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Following the victory celebrations in Moscow on June 24, 1945, the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, suggested the U.S.S.R., United States, Great Britain and France hold a united military parade in Berlin to honor the victory over Germany.

The Allies agreed, and the event was planned for September 1945, near the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, where the last battles of the European war occurred, before the Red Army captured Berlin.

According to the agreement, the parade was to be led by the supreme commanders of each nation – the USSR’s Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgi Zhukov, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower of the U.S. and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery of Great Britain. However, days before the event, the Soviet government was informed that Eisenhower and Montgomery declined to attend the parade in Berlin. This left only Marshal Zhukov to greet the Allied troops.

The opening of the parade began

with Marshal Zhukov, the man who had formally accepted the German surrender to the Soviet Union, commanding the parade and making a speech honoring the Soviet army and the expeditionary forces of the Allies.

Following his speech, Soviet troops of the 248th Infantry Division marched in a flawless formation, followed by the French and then the British soldiers, who distinguished themselves with their marching drill.

British Maj. Gen. Eric Neirs commanded the parade. More than 20,000 Berliners had gathered in the area to witness the parade. It was a celebration symbolizing the victory of the Allies of World War II over Nazi Germany.

Senior Allied officers present at the parade were Marshal Zhukov from the USSR, Gen. George Patton from the United States, Gen. Brian Robertson from the United Kingdom and Gen. Marie-Pierre Koenig from France. With Eisenhower and Montgomery declining the invitations shortly before the parade, generals Patton and Robertson were sent as their replacements.

About 5,000 troops from the USSR, USA, UK and France took part See PARADE Page 36

WORLD WAR II: VICTORY PARADE

Parade marks end of East-West cooperation Continued from Page 35 in the parade (with 2,000 of the troops being Soviet). The parade was opened by marching troops, followed by the armor. Units present included the Soviet 248th Rifle Division, the French 2nd Infantry Division, the British 131st Infantry Brigade, and the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division represented by a 1,000 parachutists.

The Soviet and Allied forces present at the parade came primarily from the local garrisons. The Allied armored contingent came from the British 7th Armored Division, known as the “Desert Rats,” French 1st Armored Division, and U.S. 16th Mechanized Cavalry Group. The Red Army used this occasion for the first public display of the IS-3 heavy tank, with 52 tanks from the 2nd Guards Tank Army participating.

Soviet military weaponry present at the parade was most remarkable.

There were more of the famous T-34 tanks, which left a lasting impression upon Allied officers present. The T-34 tank was the most famous tank of World War II, and it equipped the Soviet tank armies that drove the Germans from Stalingrad to Berlin.

What surprised everyone the most were the Soviets’ new powerful heavy IS-3 tanks and self-propelled ISU vehicles with their 122 mm and 152 mm

guns. As they drove on the parade route, the earth was literally shaking underneath them. These monstrous vehicles also reminded the watching Berliners of the last days of the war, when Soviet assault groups armed with these vehicles demolished almost every building in Berlin.

In contrast, in 1941, the German Army paraded a captured Soviet KV2 heavy tank, armed with a six-inch gun, in Berlin. The purpose was to show the Berliners, what the Wehrmacht called “cool trophies.”

But the effect was the opposite.

Berliners, with horror, watched the steel monster and thought the Soviets, with such equipment, are not going to be easily defeated. They were not mistaken. Berlin was stormed almost four years later by the descendants of the KV Tank, the Joseph Stalin-2 ( IS-2) tank, and ISU heavy assault guns.

Two thousand Soviet troops and 3,000 troops from the Allied forces participated in the parade. Many Russian historians call this event “the forgotten parade,” since it’s hardly mentioned in the West, and probably marked the end of the coalition between the great powers and marked the beginning of the Cold War.

fantry Division, Orland was accepted into the Infantry Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Ga. Shortly after earning his commission as a second lieutenant at age 19, he was deployed to Italy.

When fighting in Europe ended in May 1945, he was redeployed to the Philippines in preparation for the scheduled invasion of Japan-Operation Overthrow in October 1945.

He participated in the occupation of Japan, was among the first American forces to see the devastating results of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and remained on active duty until October 1946.

He continued serving in the U.S. Army Reserves until 1966, when he was retired as a lieutenant colonel.

He received many awards and medals in recognition of his service in the European and Asiatic-Pacific theaters.

In retirement, Orland and Charlotte traveled widely about the country as well as to Europe, Africa and Asia. They enjoyed sailing excursions on the Chesapeake Bay, in the British Isles, the U.S. Virgin Islands and once to the Greek islands.

Surf fishing, tennis and golf were his favorite pastimes. He also enjoyed genealogical research, eventually tracing his family’s roots to 1667 when his ancestors settled near Monie in Somerset County, then to an area in Dorchester County known as “Langrall’s Island” south of Vienna.

For 78 years, Orland was an active and loyal member of Asbury United Methodist Church in Salisbury and throughout his life served on many of its committees and boards. He also was a member of the National Retail Home Furnishings Association, which bestowed on him national recognition for converting a vacant grocery store at the old Salisbury Mall into a homefurnishings store. A liberal Republican, Lt. Col. Langrall was known for his charming personality and quickwit. He is remembered as a genuine and free-thinking gentleman.

He was a long-time member of the Green Hill Yacht & Country Club, a former member of the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce, an active participant of the YMCA for many years, and a lifetime member of the VFW, the Military Officers’ Association of America and the Reserve Officers’ Association.

A memorial service was held Tuesday, Aug. 20 at Asbury United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that tributes be sent in Orland’s memory to Asbury U.M. Church, 1401 Camden Ave., Salisbury, Md. 21801, or any charity of your choice.

OBITUARIES Continued from Page 39 In 1936 she was united in holy matrimony and became a devoted wife to the late Joshua James Hand, Sr. In this union they were blessed with 13 children. Siblings Sarah and Herbert preceded them in death.

Ella Mae began the workforce making $1.50 a week, walking Ella Mae Handy two and a half miles to wash and iron clothes. Helping to put bread on the table, she also handpicked tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries before she went to work at the H&H Poultry (presently Mountaire Farms). She worked there until her retirement.

Having accepted Christ, and her Christian education at the early age of 18, she became a faithful and dedi-

cated member of Zoar United Methodist Church (formally Long’s Chapel). Ella Mae served 78 faithful years in the auxiliaries of the National Women’s Society, the senior choir, kitchen assistant, and spiritual advisor of the Friends and Family Gospel Choir until her health failed her.

Ella Mae’s quiet and gentle spirit, exercised a strong faith in God. She was a woman who wasn’t ashamed to glorify God and emphasized the importance of trusting Him. She lived her life doing all that she could do for others. The Handy home was a place where family and friends could congregate on any day, but mostly on Sunday afternoons for Sunday dinners and family fun.

Mom-Mom Ella Mae, as she as affectionately called by many, enjoyed spending time with family, shopping trips, cooking and gardening. She loved flowers and often spoke these

POLICE/COURTS

Hit-and-run Ocean City police officers arrested Joseph Hughes, 61, of Ocean City on Sunday for hitting a bicyclist on Second Street and leaving the scene without stopping after causing injuries to the victim.

A witness to the incident followed Hughes, in his own car, down Baltimore Avenue until Hughes crashed into the rear of another vehicle.

Upon arrival to the crash, police reported that Hughes had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath and his eyes were bloodshot.

Police placed Hughes under arrest and took him to police headquarters, where he allegedly blew a .23 during an alcohol concentration test.

The bicyclist was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Hughes was charged with failure of a vehicle to avoid a collision with a person on a bike, failure to control speed on a highway to avoid a collision, failure to stop at the scene of an accident after causing injury, driving while under the influence of alcohol and six additional offenses.

Plethora of drugs Rachael Mitchell, 28, and Adam McKirby, 34, of Georgetown, Del. were arrested on Sunday, Aug. 30 for possession of heroin by a deputy from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.

While driving on Route 50, police noticed a Pontiac Grand Am with its brake lights out. After initiating a traffic stop, it

was found the registration plates belonged on a Dodge Intrepid, the report stated.

Dispatchers told the deputy that McKirby, the front seat passenger, was wanted through Maryland State Police in Salisbury and his license was suspended as well.

A K9 search revealed 15 packets of heroin, two plastic straws used for snorting heroin, a baggie and pills of Oxycodone and Lorazepam, according to the report.

McKirby was arrested for possession of heroin and on an outstanding bench warrant. Mitchell was arrested for possession of heroin, possession of oxycodone, possession of Lorazepam, possession of drug paraphernalia and three counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.

Steal car, ditch gun Traquan Spady, 20, of Eastville, Va. and Rontari Warren, 21, of Birdsnest, Va. were arrested on Aug. 27 after police received a stolen vehicle hit from a stationary license plate reader.

According to the report, Spady was driving without a valid driver’s license and had an open bottle of beer in his cup holder.

Warren had an active warrant out of South Carolina for a probation violation involving a second-degree burglary incident. Both suspects were placed under arrest and the vehicle was impounded.

About two hours later, officers received a call from communications in reference to a handgun on the roadway.

Police reported Warren waived his Miranda Rights and stated he brought the gun to Ocean City from Virginia. Warren is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing a regulated firearm.

He was additionally charged with possession of a handgun, possession of a firearm as a fugitive, possession of a handgun after being convicted of a crime, possession of ammunition, obliterating the manufacturer’s identification number on a firearm and three additional charges.

Pole struck On Monday, Aug. 31, police were informed that Roshan Naupane, 28, of Ocean City crashed into a telephone pole on St. Louis Avenue, exited his vehicle and began walking away from the accident.

Police reported a female passenger was injured and Naupane refused to acknowledge she was in the car or why he left the scene of the accident.

Naupane was taken to police headquarters, where he blew a .13, the report stated.

He was charged with failure of vehicle driver in an accident to locate and notify the owner of unattended damage, failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury and six additional charges.

Unattended children Officers from the Berlin Police Department arrested Mark Masci, 39, of Newport News, Va. for leaving two children alone in a vehicle. Masci is being

charged with child neglect.

Upon arrival to a grocery store parking lot on Aug. 28, police found a 10-year-old boy and three-year-old girl with special needs in a car with the door unlocked and engine running.

After an investigation, it was found that the father of the children was shopping and had been in the store for a period of time.

The Worcester County Department of Social Services took temporary custody of the children while waiting for their mother to arrive from Pennsylvania.

The Berlin Police Department and the law enforcement community advises the general public that leaving vehicles unlocked and unattended increases the chances for vehicle theft, and in this case accidental movement of the vehicle by a child. Children and animals should also not be left unattended in a vehicle due to heat concerns.

Indecent exposure Mark Horner, 53, of Vienna, Va. was arrested on Aug. 29 for three counts of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

Ocean City police communications put out a broadcast after three female complainants said they had witnessed Horner masturbating in a parking lot in the midtown area with his convertible top down in the middle of the day, according to the report.

When questioned by police, Horner told officers he had psoriasis and needed to apply cream to his genital area.

New CrossFit OC owners promise same structure

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Greta and Andrew DelCorro took over CrossFit Ocean City two weeks ago, offering a place for everyone to workout in a variety of ways and intensities at their own pace.

Functional movements participants will perform include running, rowing, jumping rope, weightlifting with cattle bells, medicine balls and Olympic lifts in addition to sit-ups, squats, push-ups and handstands.

“My goal is to make everyone healthier and happier,” Greta DelCorro said. “[CrossFit] improves quality of life physically and emotionally with a great group of people and high-intensity workouts.”

There are trainers in each class who give cues on movements and feedback to participants as they stretch, run and box jump throughout the fitness and conditioning system.

“From 35 to 70 years old, each person knows how they are feeling and are working out as hard as they can. It really is for everyone,” DelCorro said.

Classes change daily; it can be long, short, and its intensity depends on the person.

“It’s a 180 from working out in a gym alone with your headphones on receiving no feedback,” DelCorro said.

A CrossFit class begins with a 10minute warm-up to get ready, followed by the coach gathering everyone together to go over skill work on proper techniques and the workout can be anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes.

The everyday movements of sitting and lifting keep the community healthy and living their lives, DelCorro said.

“Someone who never worked out can come to a class and we can completely accommodate them,” DelCorro added.

In addition, CrossFit has challenges for participants with its recent plank nutrition contest and 30 days with no sugar.

Repeat workouts measure performance to see improvement and offer friendly competition with times recorded on a whiteboard.

“There is always room for improvements and shorter workouts gets your body ready for longer ones,” DelCorro said. “In your older years, squatting and being able to lift objects off the ground is a huge improvement in quality of life.”

The DelCorros decided to take over CrossFit after the previous owners asked if they were interested in purchasing the business.

“We love working out here and were interested in becoming trainers,” DelSee DELCORROS Page 46

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Realtors in Maryland can obtain a designation labeled Workforce Housing Certification (WHC) through the Maryland Association of Realtors (MAR) that gives them expertise in working with sectors such as service/hospitality employees, entry level staff/health personnel, as well as teachers, police and firefighters.

As housing costs in many areas exceed the financial reach of many low-to-moderate wage earners, Realtors trained in the Workforce Housing field are specialists in the financial programs and tools that can help address the problem of affordability.

Workforce Housing Certified Realtors are specially trained to receive customer inquiries on workforce and affordable housing finance programs for selected jurisdictions. Earning this popular certification requires completion of the following three classes in any sequence, as well as one elective course: 1. Federal programs and national initiatives: includes information on programs and new regulations for HUD/FHA/VA/ USDA, as well as national private sector/guaranty programs.

2. State and local programs: provides fundamentals about state and local programs available for low/no down payment, closing cost grants, extended term mortgages, as well as other tax credits, plus government resources for homeownership education and counseling. Course includes overview of Maryland Association of Realtors consumer website www.marylandhomeownership.com.

3. Maryland mortgage program and Maryland Homecredit program: a comprehensive discussion of the various Department of Housing and Community Development mortgage products and programs including qualifications, income guidelines and special incentive areas.

State loan clears path for gym expansion Owner secures aid to pay for impact fees, taxes on new facility on Route 346

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Berlin gymnastics hub Twisters is planning a major expansion, thanks to a grant from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.

In June of last year, owner Carmella Solito asked the Berlin Town Council to defer or suspend impact fees and properties taxes for the proposed new building, which would be located on Route 346 near the former Tyson’s chicken plant.

The council was divided at the time, worrying approval would send the wrong message to other area businesses.

Then, last Monday, Solito returned to council to seek town backing for a low-interest loan from DHCD. Economic and Community Development Director Ivy Wells and Planning Director Dave Engelhart apparently worked with Solito to secure the grant.

“Several months ago, I was contacted by Dave Engelhart … to find out if there was any options and opportunities for her because the project she was working on wasn’t working out,” Wells said. “I put to-

She reiterated both sentiments during a phone interview last Tuesday.

“We’ve had to send several of our kids out of state this summer to train at the level that we are at because our place isn’t done yet,” she said. “We need a bigger space to train them in – we just can’t do it in this small area.”

Solito said the next step is waiting for the bonding company to review the claim.

“We had some hiccups with our building just not moving fast enough, so we are just waiting for the bonding company and we will, hopefully, moving forward,” she said. “We’re also working with some people in Baltimore to make sure that our budget is sound and tight, and hopefully we’ll get things started in the next few months.”

WORCESTER PREP FALL SPORTS PREVIEW

Coach Geiger, runners excited about XC season Continued from Page 61 year and I really enjoy running. I think it’s a great addition to school sports,” said sophomore Matt Wilson. “It’s absolutely fun. Everyone’s coming together really well and doing amazing. No one’s lagging behind. We’re all sticking together as a team.”

Sophomore Annemarie Cherry participated in cross country and track in seventh grade when she lived in Pennsylvania. She came to Worcester in eighth grade.

“It’s a lot of fun because it’s something new and different,” she said.

“It’s not so much about being fast, just that everyone improves. Everyone’s getting along really well and we’re all encouraging each other.”

Geiger said he doesn’t expect to win this season and that’s OK with him, adding that he can’t wait to go to the first meet on Sept. 16 and see what it’s like.

He wants the runners to have fun and see what they can learn this year.

“The first couple years we want to build interest, make sure we have a team, that sort of thing, then a couple years down the road we’ll start worrying about being competitive. We’re all new at it so it’s going to be exciting,” he said. “I’m proud of the kids.

“There’s kids who have trouble running one mile and they’re still coming back everyday and that takes a lot of heart,” Geiger added. “On a cross country team, the only thing you have to have is the discipline to keep coming back every day. It’s the only way to get better. It takes a lot of courage really to come back and do it every day, especially if you’re not good at something.”

Worcester girls’ soccer team hungry for conference title

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 4, 2015) Carol Hartnett, coach of the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer program since 1998, said this year’s squad is very balanced in terms of age with five seniors, eight juniors, seven sophomores and six freshmen.

“And we’re fast,” Hartnett said. “We’ve added some new dyCarol Hartnett namics with new personnel.”

“We’ve been trying to win the ESIAC,” said senior captain Julia D’Antonio, a four-year member of the team (2014 ESIAC Second Team). “We always get to the finals then we lose by like one. I think this year we have it.”

“Saints Peter & Paul should watch out because we’re coming for them,” added senior captain Grace Tunis. “I think we’re ready to win this year.”

Joining the forwards as captains this season is senior midfielder Regan Shanahan.

After volunteering to play in the goal her freshman year because the team was without a keeper and holding down the starting spot her sophomore and junior years, Tunis will step on the field as a striker this season.

“We have some great new freshmen goalies – Julia Godwin and Grace Gardner – and they are looking awesome to start off the season,” Tunis

said. “I’m actually excited and really confident we’ll be OK without me in the goal and I’m hoping to make a difference on the field this year.”

She played on the forward line a few times, but this year she will take the spot full time.

“We had a couple scrimmages and I got to play on the field. I might not know what I’m doing but at least it’s fun,” she said. “The more I play the more comfortable I feel and my teammates have been helping me out.”

Junior Madison Bescak will join Tunis and D’Antonio on the forward

line. Her twin sister, Olivia, will lead the back at the sweeper position. The pair earned First Team All-ESIAC honors last year. Karlie Southcomb, a junior, also returns and will compete in the midfield.

Junior Julie Talbert, who was sidelined last year with stress fractures in her back, will play stopper.

Newcomers, junior Sarah Young and freshman Alannah Curtis, will be in the midfield. Freshman Delaney Abercrombie will take the field at forward/midfield.

Hartnett said Godwin and Gardner,

who have experience in the goal, are athletic and doing “amazing” in their varsity debut.

“I’m in love with our goalies this year. They’re awesome. They’re so strong,” D’Antonio said. “If you look at them, they don’t look like they’re freshmen. They’re so tall and really good.”

Hartnett said the squad is strong on defense and fast and athletic in the midfield. The forward line is working on finishing the ball, she said.

“Hopefully we’ll do a lot of winning and scoring. We didn’t do a lot of scoring last year so hopefully we’ll be able

to put it in the net this year,” Tunis said.

Hartnett said she can see progress and the girls are improving each day.

They are increasing their soccer IQ and communicating well, she added.

“The upperclassmen are setting a nice tone. They’re helping the younger girls,” Hartnett said. “They’re a happy group. They’re just a nice group of girls.”

"The girls are very positive and energetic," said first–year coach Keith Donoway. "They’ve responded well in a short period of time.”

“I’m looking forward to the season.

It’s a personal challenge to take this program and see how far we can go with it,” he said. “I have enjoyed it so far. We’ll see what they can do.”

Donoway said he is not a “yeller,” and has more of a laid back coaching style, but he also has high expectations.

D’Antonio: We’re all in it together Continued from Page 63 have probably, I want to say, the best coaches.”

Tunis said the Mallards are working hard during practice and she is looking forward to the season.

“I’m really excited. All the girls are super awesome this year,” she said.

“Everyone seems to be getting along.

We’re having a really good time and that’s what matters the most is that we’re having fun out there on the field.”

Hartnett said the team’s mantra this year is “No pressure, no stress, just energy.”

She doesn’t want the girls to be worried about making mistakes because they will happen and they should learn from them. Hartnett wants her players to have fun and do everything in a positive way, trust in themselves and the team.

A lot of times we’ll tell the new coaches the drills that help our team in particular,” said senior Erika Smith, a member of the team for four seasons, who is looking forward to being a setter this year.

“Everyone’s responding well [to Donoway]. I think everyone’s already getting better.”

Senior four-year player Madison Doody, who will step on the court as a middle, agreed.

“I think it’s going great. The coach we have now is really helping,” she said.

“It’s only been a few weeks and already we see improvement from everybody.”

Donoway will look to the veterans, the three seniors –Smith, Doody and middle Bridget Brown – as well as junior Amy Lizas to direct the 11-player squad.

Those Lady Mallards as well as sophomore Caroline Pasquariello helped lead the 2014 squad to a 5-11 record. Five wins in a single season was the most the team logged in the program’s four-year existence.

“We’re pretty young. We have three seniors, one junior and the rest are sophomores, but there’s lots of potential. All the newcomers are definitely working well and will make the team strong in years to come,” Donoway said. “The girls are very positive and energetic. They seem to click and are having fun. They’ve responded well in a short period of time.”

Donoway said his goal is to teach the girls how to play the game and perform the skills and techniques well.

The wins, he added, will happen after that.

“Last year we only had a few wins.

We’re picking out the teams we really want to get this year,” Smith said.

“I’m excited and I really hope we get a lot of wins. I’m excited to try and beat the teams that we didn’t beat last year,” Doody added. “Hopefully we can get further than we did last year [in playoffs]. One big goal is to make it to the conference championship.”

Experienced Wor. Prep golfers add depth to squad

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 4, 2015) Coach Scot Dailey and the Worcester Prep golfers are looking to build on last season’s accomplishment and they are starting 2015 on a positive note.

“I think that we’re coming along really well, really quickly,” Dailey said. “We’re finding our groove a Scot Dailey lot sooner than we did last year.”

On Aug. 28 at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin, the Mallards shot a 337 to take first place in their match against Nandua (393) and Arcadia (498). Leading the squad with a 77 and earning medalist honors was senior captain Jason Cook, who received All-Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference First Team recognition in 2014 and was named Player of the Year.

Senior captain John Meakin finished one stroke behind Cook during the Aug. 28 match, carding a 78. He also was presented All-ESIAC First Team distinction at the end of last season.

Juniors Grant Brown and Jon Ruddo (2014 All-ESIAC First Team) also contributed to the victory, scoring 90 and 92, respectively.

On Tuesday at Ocean City Golf Club in Berlin, competing against public schools of the Bayside Conference, Worcester finished second with a 173, just three strokes behind James M. Bennett. Cook (40), newcomer Austin Taylor (43), a sophomore, Meakin (45) and Ruddo (45) helped secure second place.

Dailey will count on his All-Conference players to lead the Mallards like they did in 2014 when the team

“I think that we’re coming along really well, really quickly,” Coach Scot Dailey said of the Worcester Prep golf team. “We’re finding our groove a lot sooner than we did last year.”

went 22-3 and captured its eighth consecutive ESIAC championship.

The only losses were to Stephen Decatur.

“I think we’re a much closer team than last year and everyone’s improved,” said Cook, who has been playing for Worcester since his freshman year. “If we all continue to get better we’re going to be tough to beat.”

With 11 years of golf experience, one of Cook’s goals this season is to repeat as ESIAC Player of the Year.

Meakin, also a member of the team for four years, has noticed the squad’s enhanced performance as well.

“I think we’ve improved greatly since I was first on the team. I can’t wait to see how it plays out this year,” said the 16-year-old who started playing golf at the age of 8. “I want to be a consistent top player, help make this a unified team and help make everyone better than they already are.”

Dailey, in his second season as head coach, said the team has depth

and is made up of experienced golfers.

“They’re competitive. We have 11 players vying for five or six spots in each match,” he said.

Although the players are battling to earn spots in competitions, Dailey said there is camaraderie among the Mallards.

“There is nice team unity going on,” he said.

Without another match until Sept.

14, Dailey said the players would work on their weaknesses and build on their strengths during practice.

The goals for the season are to win the ESIAC trophy again, be highly competitive in Bayside Conference matches and give Decatur a run for its money during the annual Ryder Cup challenge between the two schools, Dailey said.

“We’re playing at [GlenRiddle] one of the nicest courses on the Eastern Shore and we have a great coach.

This is his second year and he knows what he’s doing,” Meakin said.

“Like John said, Scot’s a great coach, we’re at a great course and we’re in great hands,” Cook added.

Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team has versatile players

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 4, 2015) The 2015 Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team has a number of smart, versatile players showcasing good speed.

“We have multiple goal scorers, we’re strong defensively and solid in the goal,” said Terry Underkoffler, coach of the team for four seasons.

Underkoffler said Terry Underkoffler the Mallards are playing well and with each scrimmage they have become more comfortable on the field together. Of the 24 players on his roster, 17 are varsity veterans who helped lead the 2014 squad to a 9-6-1 record. Worcester fell 3-1 to Salisbury Christian in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship match last year.

Two of the veteran captains Underkoffler will rely on to lead the team this year is senior Wyatt Richins, who was a captain last season, and junior Owen Nally. Both were named to the All-ESIAC First Team in 2014.

“They’re pretty vocal and they set the tempo,” Underkoffler said. “They

have energy on the field and they’re upbeat. The players follow their lead.”

Nally, a member of the team for three seasons, will run the center midfield.

“I feel at center mid you have the ball most of the time so you should be able to play [the ball to] other players and get everybody involved. I feel that my experience will help the team,” Nally said. “We have a lot of experienced guys. We were really young last year. I think we’re coming along and we should be good this year.”

Richins, a four-year team member, will play center defense and forward this season.

“From the back I can see the field. I want to try and direct traffic, tell everybody where to go with the ball, and at the top, I want to be able to call for the ball, lead the team into the offensive zone and hopefully get a couple goals,” Richins said. “I’m definitely looking forward to the season. I think this is one of the best teams we’ve had since I’ve been playing on this team.

I’m just excited to get back out there and get another championship. I think overall we want to get better as a team and win the ESIAC [championship].”

Joining Nally in the midfield will be

“We have a lot of experienced guys,” said Worcester Prep junior captain Owen Nally. “I think we’re coming along and we should be good this year.”

senior Elio Telo and junior captain Patrick Petrera — both 2014 ESIAC Second Team honorees, and Tate Shockley, a junior.

Sophomore Brenner Maull, juniors Max Bisaha and Brendan Miller (ESIAC Second Team) and senior Ross Dickerson are returning players who will be on the defensive line, while junior Aria ZiaShakeri takes the field as a striker.

Senior Charlie Pritchard (ESIAC First Team) is back in the goal for

Worcester.

Newcomers who Underkoffler said will be impact players include freshmen Cole Berry (defense) and Colin Miller (midfield) and junior forward Seth Lewis.

“We’re pretty well balanced. We have good depth and solid players,” Underkoffler said. “Most of the kids are underclassmen so we have a lot to build on. It’s a fun team to be around.

I’m pretty excited to see what they can do.”

Oxenreider takes over Wor. Prep field hockey program

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 4, 2015) After two seasons as an assistant coach under Jenny Frostrom, Katie Oxenreider has taken over the Worcester Prep field hockey program this year.

“I’m really excited.

It’s nice to be head coach,” she said.

Oxenreider considers herself laid back and not set in her ways. For example, if the girls Katie Oxenreider have an idea or she sees something that needs attention or should be worked on, she rolls with it.

“They’re a good group of girls. They know what to do and how to do it,” Oxenreider said.

Since she has already been with the program for two years and also coached some of the girls during the winter basketball season, the transition was smooth stepping into the field hockey head coach position.

“A lot of the stuff we’ve been doing is kind of the same things we did last year.

It’s been a pretty easy transition for everyone,” said senior Isabel Carulli.

“We all love Katie.”

Added senior Hanna Nechay, “I think it’s really nice that Coach Katie was our assistant coach to begin with. Katie is doing a really good job. She knows a lot of the girls really well.”

“She started out as a JV coach, so she’s known us since we were younger players,” Nechay continued. “She knows how all of us play and how we deal with certain situations. It’s nice that we don’t have to start fresh with a brand new coach.”

Oxenreider will look to the three senior captains – Nechay, a forward, Carulli, center midfielder, and Hannah Arrington, center defense – for leadership.

“They have a lot of experience. We’ll count on them to get everyone going,” Oxenreider said.

“I really like to look for open players and try to give them the winning goal. I’d rather just pass, so I think my best feature is passing and making sure I’m doing the best for my team – being on post, calling for balls, making sure everyone’s where they’re supposed to be, just being a good leader,” said Nechay, a four-year team member. “I think our goal needs to be to take it one step at a time, one game at a time. I’m really impressed with the whole team. It’s my last year with all my high school friends, but I’m going to make it a really good year.”

The trio received Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference honors last season. Carulli earned First Team accolades, while Nechay and Arrington were named to the Second Team.

The Lady Mallards helped lead the 2014 team to a 14-2 record. After losing two competitions early in the season to Delaware schools Delmar and Poly Tech

Junior Eva Parks, left, and freshman Hailee Arrington compete in a drill during last Friday’s practice.

“Our main goal is to get to the ESIAC championship game,” said first-year coach Katie Oxenreider.

“It’s going to be hard. I think we’ll have a lot of competition this year, but we can do it.”

during the Bi-State Tournament, the squad went on a 14-game winning streak. Worcester also captured its third consecutive ESIAC championship crown.

The Lingo sisters, Leigh (All-ESIAC Second Team), a midfielder, and Regan, a forward, were members of the 2014 championship team and have returned to the field for their junior year.

Eva Parks, a junior, is also back and will play on the defensive line.

Newcomers who have performed well during pre-season include freshmen Mia Carulli and Hailee Arrington, who will compete on the midfield and forward lines. They round out the three sets of sisters on the team this year.

“We definitely lost a lot of people last year, but we have a young, talented team and I’m excited. My sister is one of the new freshmen so that will be fun,” Carulli, a three-year player, said. “We’re looking good. We have really talented

freshmen and a lot of [returners] have improved really well.”

Twelve of the girls on Oxenreider’s 17player roster are veterans.

“We’re a little young, but we have a lot of returners. Most of the team is juniors and sophomores,” Oxenreider said.

The girls have speed, the offense and midfield are solid and the players are shooting well, she said.

“Our main goal is to get to the ESIAC championship game,” Oxenreider said.

“It’s going to be hard. I think we’ll have a lot of competition this year, but we can do it.”

Added Carulli, “We definitely want to try to go for an ESIAC championship again. My grade would be the first ever at Worcester to graduate with four championships so that would be great.”

“I think we just want to have a fun season, work together as a team and do as well as we can,” she continued. “I think it’s going to be a blast.”

cate meighan inside going out abor Day weekend is upon us and you know what that means, right? One final celebratory weekend to send the summer of 2015 out with a bang.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Ocean City now then you’ll be thrilled to hear that there is still plenty to do. It doesn’t matter if you’re wrapping up the summer with your family or here to party with friends, as usual, there really is something for everyone.

If you were with us last weekend then you might have run into a notso-little event called Ocean City Jeep Week. Activities were scattered between the Ocean City convention center and behind Burley Oak in Berlin. If you spent time at any of the locations then I don’t have to tell you what a generally happy group of people this was.

Also at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street last weekend was the 10th annual North American Sea Glass Festival. This was right up my alley because I love sea glass and there was everything imaginable on hand.

Aside from the anticipated jewelry there were several booths that got really creative.

Heidi Blake of Coastal Creations, based in Hampton, Va. was easily one of my very favorite vendors on hand. She loves to speak about her adventures and often takes people with her to find sea glass on the Chesapeake Bay. Blake seems to thrive on making a real connection with her customers and her craftiness is simply amazing. She had painted window panes filled with sea glass as well as lamps filled with the beautiful baubles.

There is always something going on at the convention center and this coming weekend will be no different. Labor Day Weekend Art & Craft Show will take place there on Friday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. Admission is free so come and check out the unique gifts such as candles, stained glass, furniture and much more. Visit www.ocshows.com for more information.

Art and Craft Festival this weekend Free event features vendors selling ceramics, jewelry, artwork, furniture, candles

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The Labor Day Weekend Art and Craft Festival takes over the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street this Friday through Sunday, Sept. 4-6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The annual free tradition features 55 vendor booths with ceramics, woodwork, jewelry, original artwork, wearable art, household items, furniture, handcrafted handbags, stained glass, candles and pottery.

“Visitors will find unique gifts and personal items that typically can’t be found on the Boardwalk or other local shops,” said Show Promoter Ami Hastings.

The festival draws 2,500 to 4,000 people each year with concession favorites including German roasted nuts and homemade cakes.

Married couple, Kit Hanson and George Raney of Ocean Pines will participate in their fourth Labor Day Weekend Art and Craft Festival, selling handcrafted crystal and stained glass items such as wind chimes, sun

catchers and panels.

The professional glass artists combine stained glass and crystals with special effects of opaque and transparent glass to give a colorful unique line of art glass.

“We love Ocean City shows. The customers who attend love the beach and so do we,” Hanson said. “Most of our art has a beach theme: beach chairs, mermaids and palm trees.

We’ve even designed a wind chime especially for Ocean City.”

Hanson and Raney credit Hastings for supporting their business and doing “everything possible” to make sure their art is represented at shows in the resort.

They are proud of their stained glass and crystal wind chimes, which adds décor and color to a window or sound to an outside porch and garden.

“George cuts each stained glass piece individually, foils each piece, then solders them into place,” Hanson said.

“When the stained glass base is complete, I fire polish stained glass shapes in our kiln. The chimes are created by combining the fire-polished stained glass with crystal beads. The beaded chimes are then attached to the stained glass base.”

Visit their website, SandyhookArt-

GlassStudio.com, to view all handcrafted items.

Kelley Gravenor of Snow Hill has been participating in the Labor Day Art and Craft Show for seven years.

Handcrafted handbags, purses, wallets, totes, potholders and placemats are created using high-quality fabrics Gravenor quilts herself into a wide variety of patterns from seashells and crabs to patriotic themes and autumn scenes.

“The show’s organizer, Ami Hastings, is very nice to work with and also very accommodating,” Gravenor said.

“I have many repeat customers at these shows and look forward to gaining new ones.”

A new line of handbags with batik fabrics will be available at her booth this weekend and a number of themes decorate the bags including lighthouses, sea turtles, dogs, cats, flowers and butterflies.

Gravenor has been making handbags for more than 10 years and enjoys pleasing her customers.

“It makes my day when I get favorable comments about my bags and I strive for high-quality items that make the customer want to come back to see me,” she added.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries.

Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2015

cate meighan kids in the area.

Parents can rest a little easier knowing that their tots are hanging out in a tunnel maze in a safe, cool area while waiting for their meal.

Happy hour currently runs every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and one of the most popular specials is a halfpound of steamed shrimp for only $4.99.

You’ll also want to check out the roof top Wild Pony Bar overlooking the bay. It’s the perfect spot to relax while watching one of OC’s stunning sunsets.

Buddy’s Crabs & Ribs at 221 Wicomico Street and the bay is also a cool place to hang out while watching the sunset. Buddy’s brings you happy hour from open to close every day. Natty Bo’s For O’s and Natural Lights are only $1.79 and crushes are $5.50. Calamari, steamed clams and Chincoteague oysters are all under $6.50 and all crab are steamed to order. Personally, I love the garden salad topped with chicken breast and did I mention how huge the portions here are?

If you’re near the inlet then you may want to spend some time at M.R. Ducks Bar & Grille, located on the bay at 311 Talbot Street. It offers up a pretty cool round of entertainment daily right on the dock. On Saturday, Sept. 5, DJ Batman is up from 5-8 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept.

6, Shawn Owen is on stage from 610 p.m. For a full schedule as well as a look at the menu check out www.mrducksbar.com.

While there is an endless amount of fun to be had in OCMD, other side of the drawbridge in West Ocean City also has so much to experience.

There is plenty of shopping at the Tanger Outlets and several great restaurants to choose from.

The Decatur Diner on Route 611 in West OC is by far one of the best eateries in the area. It specializes in pancakes and Belgian waffles but don’t let the fact that breakfast is served all day fool you, the burgers and chicken tenders are equally great and their grilled cheese is the very best around. Plus, if you’re up for a challenge and you manage to finish the Decatur Diner’s famous Pipeline Burger then you’ll end up with your name on a surfboard on the wall of fame.

The Decatur Diner is also conveniently located right on the way to the very popular Assateague Island.

If you call ahead you can easily pick up food to take out to the beach with you.

That Bacon Place, located at 12614 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City, features one of the most delicious takeout menus around and you rarely have to wait for anything.

The sausage sandwiches are delicious and everything is made from the freshest ingredients.

The Greene Turtle, on Route 611 in West Ocean City, may have been voted OC’s Best Burgers but it also

PAGE 71

Two Locations has some of the best ribs, fresh salads and steak around. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4-7 p.m. and there are nightly drink specials. The Greene Turtle West offers up live entertainment from local artists. Check out more information at www.thegreeneturtle.com.

If you are a year-round resident, have you had a chance to sample Piaza’s menu yet? located at 11436 Samuel Bowen Blvd. in front of the Walmart on Route 50, Piaza is a convenient stop to make if you are on the go and need a quick, healthy meal. Its popular pizzas are made to order and cooked right in front of you in a 1,000-degree brick oven in just three minutes flat.

While the pizza is obviously the big draw, the gourmet salads and pesto Piadas are also really delicious. Piaza is currently experimenting with new vegan menu items and perfecting gluten-free options as well. Check out www.piazafresh.com for the full menu.

Ocean City certainly knows how to keep tourists happy but if you’re looking for something to do besides hitting the beach then you should take a few hours to explore a historic little town called Berlin. Just a few minutes drive from OC, Berlin was officially named “America’s Coolest Small Town” in 2014 and it is also considered the antique capitol of the Eastern Shore.

Main Street is alive with specialty shops and Berlin also features some of the best restaurants around, all within walking distance of each other.

On Sunday, Sept. 13, Swamp Donkey will be performing a concert on the lawn of the Calvin. B. Taylor House Museum on Main Street in Berlin. The electric brewgrass band will start playing at 6 p.m. Grab a chair, pack a picnic and join the locals for some fun.

Paint Berlin Plein Air competition will take placeThursday, Sept. 17 through Saturday, Sept. 19. According to the Worcester County Arts Council this event will feature artists painting the beauty of Berlin and its surrounding area.

Visitors can watch the artists work and then attend an exhibit at the Worcester County Arts Council Gallery at 8 Jefferson Street on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 1-4 p.m. For more info, reach out to curator@worcestercountyartscouncil.org.

Check out www.berlinmainstreet.com for more information on this great little town and all that it has to offer.

While the summer season is starting to wind down, there is still plenty to do here in OCMD. Next week we’ll discuss Sunfest, The Berlin Fiddlers Convention and more. In the meantime, if you have an event coming up or know of something that you think deserves a mention then email me at cate@oceancitytoday.net.

Third Wings and Wheels Expo, Sat. Privately owned aircraft, classic cars and antique military vehicles on display

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The Ocean City Aviation Association will host its

third annual Wings and Wheels Expo at the Ocean City Airport on Saturday, featuring more than 100 privately owned aircraft, classic cars, antique military vehicles, jeeps and trucks from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“It’s a neat time to be around airplanes and a good time for the public to interact with aircraft owners about

their planes on display at the airport,” said Steve Habeger, a member of the OCAA. “Normally you don’t have that option.”

About 500 people were in attendance last year and the same number is expected Saturday, Habeger said.

More than 400 motorcyles make their way down the Boardwalk to North Division Street last year during the 9/11 Parade of Brothers Memorial Ride. The ride ended with a service at the firefighter’s memorial on the boards with speakers Mayor Rick Meehan, Senator Jim Mathias and other local officials.

Annual Parade of Brothers Memorial Ride next Friday Event honors Americans who lost their lives during Sept. 11 terrorist attacks

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) The local Red Knights Motorcycle Club, Maryland Chapter 3, will host the 11th annual 9/11 Parade of Brothers Memorial Ride next Friday, Sept. 11, in honor of Americans who lost their lives in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

“This country sweeps too many terrorist acts under the rug and 9/11 needs to be remembered forever,” said local Red Knights Treasurer and Senior Road Captain, John Tartufo, who helps organize the ride. “It means a lot to the firefighters and the general public needs to support and remember the acts of terrorism on 9/11 once a year.”

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on 27th Street and the Boardwalk the day of the ride. Riders will leave

promptly at 11:30 a.m. The patriotic procession begins on the Boardwalk at 27th Street and continues south to North Division Street Last year more than 400 participated as the event fell on the first day of OC BikeFest, Tartufo said. “Instead of making everyone wait on 27th Street after registration participants can go right on the Boardwalk to hang out and get something to eat,” Tartufo said.

After the ride, a memorial service will take place with Tartufo serving as the master of ceremonies. Sen. Jim Mathias and Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan will speak alongside the city’s police and fire chiefs and Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby.

The ceremony will last about 40 minutes.

After the ceremony, police will escort the riders out of Ocean City along Route 50 to the Moose Lodge in Roxana, Del. for lunch, brotherhood, friendship and fellowship.

Servicemen fly the American flag last year on the Boardwalk at North Division Street, where a Sept. 11 memorial service and parade took place.

of the motorcycle club, will entertain the crowd.

Registration for the memorial ride costs $10 per bike, which includes the ride down the Boardwalk and the escorted ride to lunch at the Moose Lodge.

The first 300 riders to register will receive a free pin, others and passengers can buy a pin for $5 each.

Proceeds from the ride will benefit various charities the Red Knights Motorcycle Club supports.

“Last year there were three or four serious house fires in the area and we gave each family $1,000,” Tartufo said.

The ride is open to all motorcyclists, not just members of the Red Knights, and will take place rain or shine.

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) Although Labor Day marks the traditional end of the summer season and begins what the Ocean City Beach Patrol refers to as “fall guarding,” I assure you that there will still be a lot of beautiful sunny beach days ahead, well into the fall.

I personally plan on taking advantage of this season.

Even though it’s fall we still have safety messages. What we want you to be aware of is that fall guarding is different from guarding during the summer months and it comes with many unique challenges.

During this period, we are in a reduced coverage mode with fewer lifeguard towers and surf rescue technicians patrolling the beach. This reduction in personnel is an annual occurrence with an earlier start of college classes and the return of our education professionals to school systems throughout the U.S. Additionally, tropical storm activity in the Atlantic is at its peak during this time and contributes to rougher surf which I am sure you have been noticing. This heavy surf contributes to the frequency and severity of rip currents, which account for 95 percent of surf rescues and a drowning that occurred 40 minutes after the guards went off duty last summer.

With fewer guards on the beach and stands that are farther apart, a guard may have to run two blocks (200 meters) to rescue a victim where as in the summer they need only run 50 meters. In order to increase safety and coverage of the beach, the beach patrol will rely more heavily on its motorized support vehicles to patrol

between stands. This enables them to provide backup if the need should arise.

Although we have less available personnel, the beach patrol remains committed to provide surf rescue technicians along the entire beach for all visitors and residents. So rather than have unguarded areas, the number of available lifeguard towers are equally distributed along the beachfront.

As this redistribution occurs, the location and distance between stands changes. We will continue to provide coverage from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. along all 10 miles of Ocean City beach until Sunday, Sept. 27. This coverage will be done with fewer personnel and lifeguard stands, however, we will supplement this coverage by increasing the number of mobile rescue units patrolling the beach.

These mobile units are first aid and AED equipped with one SRT (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other SRT (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency.

Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians, medical first responders and are quad (ATV) certified.

Another difference you may notice during the fall season is where surfing is allowed. OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin will modify the ordinance that restricts surfing and allow surfing along the entire beach, except where guards are posted.

The beach patrol keeps the swimmers in front or near their stand and surfers are encouraged to congregate away from the swimmers. This is a time of the year the surfers enjoy.

They can surf while the patrol is on duty and not be confined to designated surfing beaches like they are during the summer.

Surfers must still utilize an ankle leash and remain 50 yards from the nearest swimmer. Having surfers in the vicinity often proves valuable in saving lives. It is helpful to have the See PUBLIC Page 82

ON GUARD

Public safety first priority of Ocean City Beach Patrol Continued from Page 80 extra flotation devices in the water at this time of year when the coverage is spread over larger spans of beach. It is not unusual for surfers to aid a distressed swimmer and keep them afloat until a surf rescue technician can reach them and take them safely back to shore. Although surfing restrictions have been modified, the beach patrol still reserves the right to prohibit surfing in certain areas or under certain conditions.

Something new this year, (last year’s pilot was a success) beginning Monday, Sept. 14, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) will be allowed, Monday through Friday during the day.

Stand-up paddleboarders must follow all applicable Maryland boating laws and enter and exit the water away from the areas where we are encouraging people to swim. The use of skim boards and other watercraft (kite surfers, windsurfers, prone paddle boards, kayaks, etc) is still prohibited.

Even though fall guarding is differ-

ent than guarding during July, the first priority of the beach patrol continues to be public safety. To aide your SRT, the beach patrol suggests taking extra precautions and make sure to walk the short distance to the nearest lifeguard stand and check in with the Surf Rescue Technician and always swim near, or better yet, in front of the SRT on duty.

We strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device.

For additional information, call beach patrol headquarters. Guard stand placement may relocate daily as conditions change. To locate the closest stand to your beach you may go to the official beach patrol website, ococean.com/ocbp, and scroll down to the “Beach Conditions” table and click on the stands location link or call OCBP headquarters at 410-2897556, 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Flambéing frog legs adds new dimension of distinction

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 4, 2015) “The whole past is the procession of the present.” These words of wisdom by Thomas Carlyle are indeed prolific and apropos to the subject of frogs. For centuries, the French have had the bragging rights for the celebrated cuisine of Cuisses de Grenouille, or frog legs.

Francophiles and foodies must have been disheartened to hear that archaeologists digging about a mile away from the famous Stonehenge monument made a discovery that overturned centuries of acquired wisdom. The truth comes in many flavors and unfortunately for the French, frog legs were an English delicacy 8,000 years before becoming an acclaimed French specialty.

According to an online article titled, “English were Feasting on Frog Legs 8,000 Years before the French,” a team led by David Jacques discovered charred bones of a very small animal. Following assessment by the Natural History Museum, it was established that the remains were

cooked frog legs. This evidence confirmed frog legs were consumed by humans during the Mesolithic Period.

The history of the frog as human food is limited at best. But it makes sense that hunters would have eaten small animals like frogs. Frog legs are a good source of protein and a convenient “fast food” to cook. That being said, how did such a humble fare end up as a delicacy?

There is no clear cut answer but one thing is for sure, Americans eat 20 percent of the world’s frog legs, and soon the U.S. is likely to overtake France and Belgium as the world’s largest consumer of this exquisite, sweet meat. But all is not accolades and glorification; environmental activists are concerned about over harvesting.

The government of France has banned the capture, transport and marketing of live French frogs. But one must realize frog legs have been a French obsession for centuries. It must be noted that most of the frogs that end up on the dinner plate of Americans are imported from Indonesia and China.

Forming a personal opinion must be backed up by personal experience.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Americans eat 20 percent of world’s frog legs Continued from Page 83 If one adores chicken wings, you will covet this new addition to your repertoire of options. This is no question the French version of butter, garlic and lemon juice is perfection. But flambéing the tiny succulent legs of nature adds a whole new dimension of distinction, but is optional. If one is a novice at the art of flambéing, a few helpful hints follow.

Use an 80-proof liquor/liqueur which is equivalent to 40 percent alcohol for flambéing. Beer, champagne and most wines cannot be used to acquire the coveted flames. Remember cold liquor will not ignite. If one has an electric stove, use a long match such as a fireplace match or a long barbecue lighter to ignite the sauce. If you have a gas stove, simply tilt the pan very carefully so the flame comes in contact with the alcohol. Allow the mixture to burn until the flames disappear; at this point the alcohol has burned off.

Sysco Cash and Carry Store in Pocomoke is open to the public and is located next to the Sysco warehouse.

Frog legs are extremely difficult to find and Sysco Cash and Carry has them. They come in a five-pound box and the legs are 4 to 6 ounces per pound. The price for a box of frog legs is $25.29 which I might add is a huge

savings from the internet prices. I would highly suggest calling them before you make the trip to Pocomoke to make sure they have them in stock.

Sysco Cash and Carry phone number is 410-957-3377.

Flambéed Frog Legs Ingredients 12 pairs of frog legs (4 to 6 oz.), fresh or frozen (thawed) 1 quart whole milk kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2 sticks salted butter ½ cup chicken stock 2 large cloves garlic, minced juice of a half of large lemon 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley 2 to 3 splashes of good quality cognac edible flowers as a garnish (optional) 1. Snip apart each pair of frog legs.

Combine separated legs and milk in a large Ziploc bag. Place Ziploc bag in a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Transfer legs to paper towels and pat dry. Coat legs with flour and shake off any excess flour. Salt and pepper frog legs generously.

2. Heat 6 tablespoons in a frying pan over high heat until sizzling. Add half of the frog legs and cook, flipping only once until golden brown. Transfer cooked legs to a plate and set

aside. Discard used brown butter and wipe out the pan with paper towels.

Repeat the same process with the remaining 6 pairs of frog legs.

3. Add remaining butter, chicken stock, garlic, parsley, lemon juice and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes.

4. Add cognac and flambé sauce just before serving.

ciety currently houses more than 150 cats. Of the cats who reside at the nokill shelter, 51 of them have been there for more than a year with 27 of them being there for four years or longer.

Most of these cats are adoptable with wonderful personalities.

To promote the adoption of older cats, the shelter has a senior to senior program where anyone over the age of 65 who adopts a cat 8 years or older will have their adoption fee waived.

Adoptions are based on application approval. There are currently 22 cats living at the shelter who fit into that age group.

The Worcester County Humane Society is a private, nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter located on Eagles Nest Road in Berlin. For more information on available pets or upcoming events, follow the shelter on Facebook and Instagram or visit www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.org

Lupiwok wins MS Society, Md. Chapter scholarship

(Sept. 4, 2015) Jennah Lupiwok of Berlin is this year’s winner of the 2015 National MS Society, Maryland Chapter Scholarship. The $1,000 scholarship helps students affected by multiple sclerosis pursue a college or technical school education.

Lupiwok’s mother, Mindy, a resident of Worcester County for 45 years, was diagnosed with MS in 2001.

Lupiwok, her sister, Jessie, her mom and her dad, Mike, also participated in Walk MS 2015 in Salisbury.

WCBI –Team Mindy raised $1,095 to support cutting-edge research and lifechanging programs and services for people living with MS. A graduate of Stephen Decatur High School, Lupiwok will attend the University of Maryland College Park in the fall.

“This scholarship helps tremendously to pay for college tuition. My mom taught me that, regardless of our struggles, there is still so much to be

CHICKEN CUTLET roast pork cheese steak

(Sept. 4, 2015) More than a decade ago a gray tabby named “Momma” arrived at the Worcester County Humane Society in need of a loving forever family. And then for the next 12 years, she waited. Thanks to Patrick Campbell Priest, WCHS employee and volunteer, Momma’s wait is finally over.

“I had room for one more furry family member in my home and it meant a lot to me to be able to adopt Momma because she had been at the shelter for so long,” Campbell said. “She is adjusting nicely and brings me more joy than I could have ever imagined.”

Momma had earned the unfortunate status of being the shelter’s longest adoptable feline resident. She outlasted hundreds of cats who were adopted and had been at the shelter longer than many of its employees and volunteers.

Before she left, employees took the time to wish her a bittersweet goodbye.

The Worcester County Humane So-

grateful for,” she said. “She always makes the best of every situation and reminds me to be happy for what we have. Just seeing her push through all her struggles makes me determined to reach my own goals.”

In addition to the physical and emotional toll, MS can have a substantial financial impact on a family. The direct and indirect costs of MS, including lost wages — even for those with health insurance — are estimated at more than $70,000 annually per household. This makes funding a college education that much harder.

This year, more than $1.2 million in awards were presented to more than 800 new and renewal recipients nationwide. Applications are evaluated on financial need, academic record, leadership and volunteer activities, a statement of educational and career goals, and letters of recommendation.

“For the Lupiwok family and the hundreds of thousands diagnosed with MS across the country, there are very few known sources of scholarship assistance specially targeted for these families,” said Mark Roeder, chapter president. “MS shouldn’t stand in the way of an education, and we are hopeful this program will give families some relief.”

Camp Possibilities to benefit from CWCA crab feast

(Sept. 4, 2015) Every year, the Caine Woods Community Association chooses a local charity that will receive the proceeds from its September crab feast and from raffles held at other CWCA events.

This year’s charity is Camp Possibilities, a local non-profit that since 2002 has been enriching the lives of children with diabetes. Often, because of the complexity of diabetes management, these children do not get the chance to go to a summer camp.

The group hopes to send 95 children to a week-long camp where they can enjoy swimming, fishing, arts and crafts and sports in a medically safe environment.

How can you help? Plan to attend a crab feast Saturday, Sept. 26, from 2-5 p.m. at Higgins Crab House on 128th Street. The event will feature all-youcan-eat crabs, fried chicken, corn on the cob, fries, crab soup, cole slaw, draft beer and soft drinks. The cost is $35. A cash bar, raffles and chances on a basket of cheer will also be available. All proceeds will benefit Camp Possibilities.

For tickets, email cainewoods@verizon.net or call Tonya Sas at 410-2501046 or Joe Kostelac at 410-250-5665.

‘Next of Kin’ show features Lockhart siblings, McBride

(Sept. 4, 2015) The First Friday art opening on Sept. 4 at the Ocean City Center for the Arts goes from total abstraction to beautiful realism, with concurrent shows filling the galleries on 94th Street.

The public is invited to the free event from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and enjoy hors d’oeuvres.

Family members Kirk McBride, Lynne Lockhart and Paul Lockhart are the featured artists in the main gallery in a show entitled “Next of Kin.”

The relationship between light and shadow is the unifying theme running throughout McBride’s work, and he is constantly looking for those moments to inspire his oil paintings. He paints a variety of subjects from seascapes to mountains, from foreign cafes to interiors of his own Eastern Shore home and studio that his shares with wife, Lynne Lockhart.

Wooden said of her nomination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so honored that a family would take the time to write this nomination, especially during such a difficult period.â&#x20AC;?

The DAISY Award, created by The DAISY Foundation in Memory of J. Patrick Barnes, honors the extraordinary work nurses do for patients and families each day. Hospital leadership brought the awards program to Atlantic General to recognize the compassion and high level of care its nurses provide to residents and visitors of the community.

Patients and visitors can nominate an Atlantic General Hospital and Health System nurse for the DAISY Award at any time. Nomination forms are available in every hospital department and health system physician office. Awards are bestowed quarterly.

DAISY award recipients are nominated by those who have received extraordinary care and AGH celebrated Wooden for her commitment to serving patients and going above and beyond.

Painting Wild Horses from Life workshop set for Oct. 31 Continued from Page 96 sateague Island National Seashore.

Visitors may encounter her painting in the field during this and are encouraged to mingle with the resident artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Painting wild horses from life is the foundation for the work I do in the studio. I want to express the power, beauty and bonds that I see manifest in wild horses,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The freedom, risk and challenge that are inherent in living wild in nature are reflected in my process of working from life. They are not solely paintings of horses, but reflected communication of their experience and our journey.â&#x20AC;?

Artists will also have the opportunity to participate in an en plein air workshop, Painting Wild Horses from Life, led by McLain, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artists have long painted outdoors, working in natural light to see and to be inspired by nature while

immersed in its element.

This workshop will cover techniques for painting the horse quickly and fluidly from life, challenges of painting a moving subject in changing light and coping with the problems inherent in painting outdoors. Students will be guided through the process of observing, painting and learning from wild horses to enrich studio work with emphasis on accurate anatomy.

For more information, visit AssateagueIslandAlliance.org or call 443614-3547.

KIWANIS INDUCTIONS The Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines - Ocean City is having a great month for membership. Previously on Aug. 12, due to Kiwanis International developing some new membership rules enabling spouses of Kiwanis members to join as associate members, three spouses became members. Many spouses, though not members, often volunteer to help at Kiwanis events without being members of the club. During the Aug. 26 meeting, three more spouses were inducted. Pictured, from left, are Kiwanis Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Membership Chair Mike Morton, inductee Carol Caldwell, Kiwanis member J. Graham Caldwell who sponsored his wife, inductee Suzanne Brooke, Kiwanian Lee Brooke who sponsored his wife, inductee Sid Warner and her Kiwanis husband, Charlie Warner who sponsored her.

BLESSING Assateague Chief Michael Morabito and members of the Assateague tribe recently performed a blessing of the grounds at Rackliffe House. Native Americans resided on today’s Rackliffe grounds between at least 1250 B.C. and most likely for some time after contact with Europeans during the 17th century. Archaeology has revealed that the site may have served either as a small, occasionally occupied hunting camp or it was located at the fringe of a village made up of widely separated dwellings.

Commentary

Some bad apples lead to worse law

The proposed "no drinking" ordinance that Ocean City officials say is designed to reign in rowdy behavior during the resort’s handful of motor vehicle events is one of the most heavy-handed pieces of local legislation in some time.

Nevertheless, the mayor and City Council next Tuesday will begin the process of making it illegal to consume alcoholic beverages in the parking lots of private commercial properties and, incredibly, outlawing even standing, minus the drink, on a property's "required" landscaped areas.

Even though the law supposedly takes aim at a few parking lots where crowds set up lawn chairs, drink, hoop and holler at passing cars and motorcycles, it would apply to every Ocean City business with on-premises parking.

As written, the measure would prohibit property owners and their lessees, their friends, employees and guests from having a beer on their own grounds, providing they were doing it on “required parking” spaces or “required landscaping.” Violate the law once and maybe get a fine. Violate it multiple times and risk losing the license to operate in Ocean City.

City officials contend that a widespread application of the law is not their intent. Councilman Doug Cymek, chairman of the police commission, where this idea was born, tried to explain away the overkill by saying even though the measure "appears to be stripping the owners of their property rights," it does not, thus implying that the city could be trusted to do the right thing.

The law, however, doesn't "appear" to do anything – it absolutely does it and how it would be applied would be up to the individual police officer, the police department's internal policy of exercising discretion notwithstanding. In short, the police department will be making the rules for Ocean City, not its elected officials.

The sole opponent of the measure, Councilman Matt James, observed that the resort already has laws that address public behavior problems but they aren't being enforced, so it makes no sense to impose an all-encompassing measure that will make enforcement even more difficult.

We agree. In an attempt to squelch the bad behavior in a few instances, the mayor and council, essentially, will say to the police, here's your permission, go out and do what you think is best.

Officials say it’s a safety issue and that’s correct. But it’s their political safety they’re thinking about.

Editor, This is the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. General Levin Winder Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a commemorative partner with the Department of Defense, Vietnam Commemoration.

On Aug. 18, General Levin Winder Chapter had a wreathlaying at the Vietnam Memorial at the County Court House, in Snow Hill. We recognized 72 Vietnam veterans with a DAR Certificate of Appreciation.

We had many vets and family members of deceased veterans accept the DAR Certificate of Appreciation for their service and sacrifice. I would like to thank everyone that participated in this special event.

It was very touching, when I handed the certificate to a vet and thanked him for his service. His reply was “I have never been thanked before.” Let us not forget.

Arizona case goes against city

Editor, In the Ocean City Council’s opposition to the citizens’ initiative petition that limits property Continued on Page 106

PAGE 106

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 105 tax increases Ocean City Attorney Guy Ayres has opined that the city will prevail because of a prior decision of the Maryland Court of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals found in 1992 that “the exercise of the legislative initiative power (by voters) … completely circumvents the legislative body, thereby totally undermining its status as the primary legislative organ.”

While that may have been a valid opinion at the time, I believe that the June 29, 2015 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that said Arizona voters could use an initiative to establish an independent commission to redistrict political boundaries in Arizona raises serious questions as to whether the 1992 Court of Appeals decision is still germane.

In the Arizona case, the Supreme Court said the “(f)ramers may not have imagined the modern initiative process in which the people of a state exercise legislative power coextensive with the authority of an institutional legislature.

But the invention of the initiative was in full harmony with the Constitution’s conception of the people as the front of governmental power.”

The Supreme Court opinion went further, saying that the initiative operated entirely outside the states’ representative assemblies; it allows “voters (to) petition to propose statutes or constitutional amendments to be adopted or rejected by the voters at the poles.”

The Supreme Court also found that “the power to legislate in the enactment

Ocean City Today of the laws of a state is derived from the people of the state” and that in using the initiative to bypass the legislative body, Arizona voters sought to restore “the core principle of republican government.”

In order to save the Ocean City Council from spending more of our tax dollars on ill-advised law suits, can we have Mr. Ayres explain during an open meeting of the City Council why 2015 Supreme Court decision in the Arizona case is not the controlling case regarding the voters initiative that will limit Ocean City property tax increases?

PUBLIC EYE

As space allows

Not to go on about it, but I am wrestling with the problem of where to drink on my business property.

The circumstances are this: my office is required under the publishing designation in the zoning code to have five parking spaces. As it happens, we have approximately 10. I say “approximately” because we don’t employ actual parking By space lines – or lineStewart age, as would be the Dobson term in governmentalese (see Signs vs.

Signage) – and we have some excellent drivers here who know how to take advantage of our parking, or parkage, as the case my be.

Suffice to say, we can get 10 vehicles in here with no problem. What this means, of course, is that when it comes to our parkage package, we have the five spaces that are required and the five spaces that are in excess.

Some might say that we are fortunate indeed to have that additional area and that I should let it go and move on to something that people actually care about, such as the re-

SEPTEMBER 4, 2015

cent decision by the Food and Drug Administration to stop using the term “midget raisins” to classify the smallest of withered grapes, because the term midget is offensive to little people.

But no, I can’t move on when I clearly have a major decision to make, which would be where, under the proposed new law in town, I will be able to hoist a frosty one while I take in the glorious view that is Coastal Highway.

The thing is, since I have both required spaces and excess spaces, the matter of location is important. I need to point out that I’m not worried about the law necessarily, as there is only one law in my world and that would be at home. Or, as the lead character in the old British mystery series, “Rumpole of the Bailey,” referred to his primary lawgiver, “She Who Must Be Obeyed.”

So should I come home after a nice afternoon in the parking lot and She Who Must Be Obeyed asks me what I’ve been doing, I have two possible answers: One, I have been doing required drinking, or two, I have been doing excess drinking.

I just don’t know which one will work best.
