PUMPKIN RACES

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

With 40 entrants in the kids’ division and 11 in the adult contest, the OCtoberfest pumpkin races are attracting more and more visitors to the resort’s unique fall festival.

(Nov. 1, 2013) Just to set the record straight, no changes will be coming to the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control on Jan. 1.

Many people in the restaurant and bar business think the department is going out of business on that date, but that’s simply not true, said Robert “Bobby” Cowger, the department’s executive director, on Tuesday.

“Worcester County is committed, 100 percent,” Cowger said. “We’re not leaving. We’re here and we plan to continue to serve the licensees with the best pricing.”

County ownership of the former Liquor Control Board went into effect July 1, 2011. Many licensees who were members of the Worcester County Licensed Beverage Association led the charge to end the Liquor Control Board because of their dissatisfaction, primarily with its pricing, which they said was too high.

In most counties, liquor licensees

purchase their liquor from wholesalers that buy it from manufacturers. But in Worcester County, retailers had to purchase liquor from the Liquor Control Board.

Delegates Norman Conway and Mike McDermott and Sen. Jim Mathias introduced bills to terminate the Liquor Control Board. The Maryland General Assembly passed the bill, paving the way for the county to take over its operations and to create the new county department.

Now, they retailers buy liquor from the Department of Liquor Control. The legislation, however, contained a sunset clause so that the retailers could buy directly from wholesalers.

Some licensees believe that they can buy directly from wholesalers starting Jan. 1, but that is false, Cowger said.

As written in the original legislation, the change was slated to begin May 1, 2016, but that date was changed to July 1, 2014. As of that date, July 1, 2014, licensees may purchase wine or liquor from wholesalers or continue to purchase it from the Department of Liquor Control, or they may purchase wine and liquor from both.

Buying liquor from county will be faster and easier for licensees Worcester agency gears up to compete with other wholesalers for business to the Department of Liquor Control at least 60 days before their purchasing activity is to start. The department would then issue a letter of confirmation that the licensee meets certain requirements and the licensee must display that letter, along with their alcoholic beverage license, on the licensed premises.

“I think the majority will take the option to purchase from either of us,” Cowger said.

Some licensees believe they will get special deals from wholesalers, but that would be illegal, Cowger said. The wholesalers may make no special deals with individuals, Cowger said.

The Department of Liquor Control buys in large quantities to get the best prices.

“We’re taking big steps and making sure we’re price competitive and our service is unmatched,” Cowger said.

The county department also does not charge for “broken cases,” orders of less than a case. A licensee may order one bottle with no extra charge from the county.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Robert “Bobby” Cowger, director of the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control, with boxes of liquors lining shelves in the wholesale warehouse in Snow Hill.

“A lot of small ones get three or four bottles at a time,” he said.

Purchasing from the county will be less time-consuming and easier than purchasing from wholesalers, Cowger said. Approximately 15 wholesalers are licensed to sell to the Ocean City market, so Ocean City restaurant and bars will be “bombarded with sales reps,” he said. “Now they get one truck, with us. With wholesalers, licensees could get four or five delivery trucks.

“With us, they put in one order,” he said. “No wholesaler sells every product, so they’re looking at three big wholesalers and us and having multiple deliveries. They’d have to put in four orders, or could deal with even more wholesalers.”

Dealing with multiple alcohol wholesalers, in addition to food and beverage salespeople, could mean a licensee would spend hours each week dealing with sales representatives.

The department provides two-day per week delivery year-round and “if there should be an error, a courtesy van will deliver the needed product,” he said. Additionally, the department’s new Shore Spirits on Route 50 east of Stephen Decatur High School is a seven-day wholesale pick-up location.

The county will be showcasing some of its wholesales prices during the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant trade show March 9-10.

The Loss of Freedom

NOVEMBER 1, 2013

On October 7, 2013, Ocean City passed on a second reading of Ordinance 2013-13 to raise, through the sale of a bond, $12.7M for five projects, the largest of which was an $8.3M expenditure on a Performing Arts Center being foisted on the public. This structure would destroy half the Convention Center and build a theater within it with 1,200 seats and about the size of the high school auditorium. Moreover, this excess would disturb some of our biggest present users, and risk losing their business when convention business is hard to get.

The town started spending on the Performing Arts Center project following a resolution weeks ago. October 7 was the first opportunity for the public to voice an opinion, through a petition. The public cannot petition a resolution, only an ordinance.

Over the last week the government has misused its position to mislead the public. First, there was the Mayor’s mouthpiece, like Little Red Riding Hood’s charade: a purported citizens’ group scaring people by wrongly saying that signing the petition would cost the city millions. Next, the rarely political city solicitor threatened more taxes if people signed the petition.

The government, through reckless disregard of the petition period, put something at risk here profoundly more important than the Performing Arts Center. The shining difference between Americans and all others is our belief in the unique value of each person. This cherished belief is being trampled, sullied, and ignored by our local government. We the people are being punished by the town government's reckless spending of our money.

Worse than that, the government is blaming the petition-bearers for spending the public's money, threatening citizens that "The City will lose millions—taxes will go up—if you sign the petition." Are we the people so scared that we have to listen to this nonsense from the government and their mouthpieces?

Since our Declaration in 1776, we the people have been the boss. The referendum, unique to America, is the way that people remind government to serve us. After every ordinance’s passage, the law provides for three days to submit a referendum, five days for the city solicitor to approve it, then forty days for the people to sign a petition to take the matter to a public vote. When government disrespects this time frame by starting to implement the law and spend the public's money before time is up, government shows disdain for not only the people's rights and money. At that point we lose not just a Convention Center; we lose the unique foundation of our republic—that people, not government, are the boss—which made America special.

When the Mayor and Council disrespect that hard-earned right of the people by spending public money before the legal time has passed, then this is not about Tony Christ; it is a grave loss for all of us. In his leadership the Mayor has twice shown a brazen disregard for this unique and precious right of our democracy.

First, the Mayor ordered parking meters before the final reading of the ordinance, wrongly spending scarce public money and disrespecting the people’s petition. Ninety thousand dollars of parking meters still sit without any accountability.

Second, the day after our petition to put Performing Arts Center financing on the ballot, walls at the Convention Center were felled—and money continues to be spent. The Mayor, pandering to a few wealthy individuals who would rather use the people’s money than their own to build this ego-edifice, spent public funds with full knowledge that a lawful referendum had begun. Then, in a cowardly manner, he blamed the petitioners for his destructive acts.

It is not the walls or the meters or even the money (though scarce) that is at risk here. Meters can be bought and sold, walls rebuilt. It is the disregard of a sacred responsibility to the people.

It's the people, not the government! When the Council ignores the people's right and acts on an ordinance under petition by spending public money, then citing its spending as a reason to disregard the petition, our democracy is trampled.

Although we have elections that grant the right to govern to our elected officials, we Americans have always reserved the right, through referendum, to remind our elected officials that they are there to serve the people. We Americans choose when we wish to petition to put any lawful item on the ballot. It is up to elected officials to respect this hallowed right, not to obstruct it.

When government ignores our right and spends our money before we approve a loan, it should be of great concern to all. Blaming Tony Christ for the reckless spending by the Mayor and Council before financing passes referendum deflects responsibility from the perpetrator and ignores the people's cherished right to challenge. Subterfuge obscures the truth for all except the keenest observers.

West OC Association seeks funds, backing for bay dredging Group would like channel cleared out, with silt to be deposited on Skimmer Is. NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) A group of West Ocean City residents are looking for funds to dredge a channel in Sinepuxent Bay west of Skimmmer Island near the Route 50 bridge.

Members of the West Ocean City Association decided last Thursday to meet with local developers and others to discuss funding and other issues in hopes of devising a plan of action by April.

Deb Maphis said area residents use the west channel for boating. They use it to go elsewhere in Sinepuxent or the other coastal bays.

“Everybody on the north side of the bridge uses that west channel,” Maphis said during the association’s meeting at the Ocean City Lions Den on Airport Road.

Maphis was disappointed that the Army Corps of Engineers had not made it a project.

“The Army Corps totally ignored the west channel,” Maphis said.

She, like the others at the meeting, was hopeful private funds could be

raised to dredge the channel.

Carolyn Cummins said they could possibly tag the project onto the dredging process near Skimmer Island, but not on its west side, that will be taking place this winter. Someone or some organization would have to sponsor the permit, but the West Ocean City Association could do that, she said.

Roman Jesien, science coordinator for the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, said they should “look for a number of consultants” to see what’s feasible and what funding is available. He also said the Gudelskys, developers of waterfront property in West Ocean City near the commercial harbor, “are in line.” Maphis said three area businesses, a marina, a restaurant and a watersports enterprise, were also likely to donate funds to the cause.

If funds are found and the project takes place, Jesien said, there is plenty of room on Skimmer Island for deposits of dredge material.

Last March, 634 cubic yards of sand were pumped onto Skimmer Island, but there is ample room for more. Two areas that received sand in 2011 and 2012 experienced substantial erosion as a result of Superstorm Sandy last October. The island also experienced considerable erosion of its eastern and northeastern shorelines during that storm.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

A man walks next to his boat Thursday after the vessel became stranded in the low waters surrounding the westernmost bay channel, just north of the Route 50 bridge.

According to Jesien, continued annual nourishment of Skimmer Island is needed to balance the annual loss of sand to erosion. The island, he said, is going to continue to move around.

“The only constant is that stuff changes,” he said. “It’ll move one year and we’ll put it back the next year.”

Skimmer Island, which reached its maximum size of 7.1 acres in 1998, de-

clined to just over two acres in the spring of 2011.

Ideally, some areas of Skimmer Island should be high enough for vegetation and low enough for birds. It is the nesting site for black skimmers and royal terns, both of which are listed as endangered in the state. The island is also the site where thousands of horseshoe crabs breed each May and June.

Series of stings nab alleged heroin dealers throughout Worcester OC officers track smack peddlers outside of city limits during operations NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) At least three major heroin-related arrests have been made in Worcester County in the past several days.

Law enforcement agencies have been battling the drug and drug dealers for many months because of its prevalence in communities and the Worcester County State’s Beau Oglesby Attorney’s Office is encouraging the enforcement and taking some cases to a grand jury.

Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby said Wednesday that narcotics units are focusing on heroin.

Although he encourages the enforcement and makes suggestions, Oglesby said the units make the ultimate decisions about arrests.

“We’re being aggressive when it comes to us,” he said. “We’re being as aggressive as possible in prosecu-

tions.”

On Saturday, a 34-year-old Ocean City man was arrested after an investigation that began Sept. 20 when an Ocean City undercover officer contacted him to try to purchase heroin.

The officer arranged to meet the man, Jacob Andrew Weaver, at a fast food restaurant in the resort. There, according to police, they met in the men’s bathroom where he handed Weaver a cigarette box containing $110. In exchange, Weaver reportedly gave him four small plastic bags wrapped with a black rubber band.

The bags contained heroin.

On Oct. 1, Weaver allegedly contacted the officer to say he had heroin to sell. The next day, the two men met at the same fast food restaurant, but this time, they met outside because Weaver was accompanied by a child.

While the officer remained in his vehicle, Weaver walked up to him and handed him a bag of heroin, for which the officer paid $110.

The two met twice more. On Oct. 15, they met at a convenience store in West Ocean City, where the officer bought heroin for $220 and on Oct. 25, they met again at a fast food eatery where he bought heroin for $300, according to police.

Weaver was charged with three counts of distribution of heroin and

two counts of possession of heroin. He was being held in the Worcester County Jail on $50,000 bond.

Daquon T. Mills, 21, of Snow Hill, was arrested last Friday in West Ocean City by an Ocean City police officer who had been sworn in as a law enforcement officer of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office in 2012 so he could make arrests outside the municipal limits of Ocean City.

The officer contacted Mills on June 25 and made arrangements to purchase a one-eighth ounce of crack cocaine from him for $150 at a West Ocean City convenience store. They met in the store’s bathroom and then went to Mills’ car to get the crack. The officer paid for it with $150 in a cigarette pack.

The next day, the officer contacted Mills again to buy heroin. Again, they met in the convenience store bathroom. This time, the deal was made in the bathroom, with the officer paying $160, which was in a cigarette pack.

On July 19, the officer again made contact and asked to purchase three grams of powder cocaine for $150.

Arrangements were made to meet at the convenience store once again, but this time Mills said the deal had to be made quickly because he was with a relative. The deal was made at a car parked at the gas pumps.

This time, the officer reportedly did not get what he paid for. Instead of powder cocaine, he got a salt, sugar or sugar substitute of some sort.

Last Friday, the officer contacted Mills once more and asked to purchase crack cocaine for $100. This time, they agreed to meet in a parking lot in West Ocean City.

When the officer arrived, he saw Mills and a passenger, later identified as Riley Collick, 35, of Stockton, in a vehicle. As Collick pushed aside some items so the officer could take a seat in the back, detectives moved in and arrested both Mills and Collick. As Collick exited the vehicle, a bag of crack reportedly fell from his lap onto the seat.

On Oct. 22, John Terence Rahe III, 26, of Berlin, was indicted on multiple charges related to heroin distribution, including distribution of the drug within 1,000 feet of a school, in this case, Seaside Christian Academy in West Ocean City.

He allegedly committed the offenses of possession of heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute it and distribution of heroin April 30 and June 25.

His bond was set at $100,000, but was reduced to $50,000 during a bond review in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Monday.

POLICE BRIEFS

Missing cell phone One man said he lost his cell phone Oct. 23 at a downtown restaurant and bar and another man told police he found it, but did not try to find the owner. The second man was charged with theft of less than $1,000.

The cell phone owner told police he thought he dropped it, but, after searching the area, he could not find it. Later, he used a cell phone tracker on his computer and saw it was pinging from a house on St. Louis Avenue. He contacted police, who went to the St. Louis address and talked to Barry Obrien Collick, 45, who said he had found it. He also reportedly said he had re-named it and was going to keep it, but the battery ran out of power. According to the charging document, he also said he stole it for the same reason anyone else steals stuff and that he had had his cell phones stolen.

Drug distribution A 51-year-old Berlin woman was arrested Oct. 24 after she allegedly sold heroin and crack cocaine to an undercover Ocean City Police Department officer.

Like other Ocean City narcotics detectives, the officer was sworn in as a vested officer of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office in January 2012. This enabled him to make arrests outside Ocean City.

In September, the officer began investigating Mary Frances Haines, who had drug convictions and was on parole after serving a sentence.

He arranged to meet her outside Walmart on Route 50 on Sept. 20. According to the

charging document, she walked up to his car and asked him if he was a cop. After he said he was not a cop, she allegedly placed a piece of tinfoil containing 13 white wax paper bags containing heroin on the center console. The detective paid $170 for it.

On Oct. 24, the detective contacted her again and arranged to buy two bundles of heroin from her for $120 and crack for $100, according to the charging document. They met outside a grocery store near Ocean Pines where the purchase was reportedly made.

As soon as the detective made the purchase, he and uniformed officers of the Ocean City Police Department arrested Haines. During a search of her after the arrest, officers found five bags of heroin and two plastic bag corners containing crack cocaine, according to the charging document.

Also, according to that document, Haines is on parole until 2014 for distribution of a controlled dangerous substance.

Gun replica A 25-year-old Laurel, Del., man was charged Oct. 23 with possession of a gun replica after an Ocean City police officer reportedly saw the replica on the floor of a vehicle in front of where he had been sitting.

Logan Harris Bondurant was a passenger in a vehicle stopped near 10th Street and Philadelphia Avenue at about 2 a.m. because the vehicle’s tail lamps were not lit. After the stop, police charged the driver with driving under the influence of alcohol and had all of the passengers exit the vehicle. The officer then saw what he said was a gun replica.

By any other name, that which we call a Taser will hurt as much OCPD tweaks use of force policy to reflect new term for less-lethal armaments ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) Would, as the bard said, a rose by any other name smell as sweet?

Or, rather, would a Taser by another name hurt less?

Probably not, although if Tybalt had given Mercutio a good zap instead of fatally stabbing him, “Romeo and Juliet” probably would’ve had a much different ending.

Nevertheless, the Ocean City Police Department gained approval from City Council this week to revise a number of its general orders, most notably its use of

force policy, to reflect new language and legal circumstances surrounding Tasers.

Although the less-lethal armaments carried by resort officers are popularly known as “Tasers,” the term is actually taken from the brand name of the company who makes them, Taser International. The standard industry term for them, up until now, has been Electronic Control Devices, or ECDs. According to police, Taser International has now changed the nomenclature from ECD to the more ominous-sounding Conducted Electrical Weapon, or CEW. “In talking with Taser International, I was important that we keep our terminology the same for the purposes of future litigation,” said OCPD Capt. Greg Guiton.

“Hopefully we never have to go down that path, but we wanted to be using the same terminology in case Taser would ever need to assist us to show that our policy is

Ward stabbed girlfriend in neck and back in shared resort apartment in May NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Nov. 1, 2013) A 47-year-old Ocean City woman was found guilty Tuesday of attempted second-degree murder.

Sharon Lee Ward was returned to the Worcester County jail after Judge Richard Bloxom ordered a pre-sentence investigation. She had said little during the proceeding in Circuit Court in Snow Hill as her victim, a former girlfriend, watched and listened, although she left the courtroom briefly.

Deputy State’s Attorney Abigail Marsh said Ward and the victim were in the resort unit they shared when they got into an argument during the early morning hours of May 9. Ward said she was moving out and wanted her rent money returned.

The victim left the room for a few minutes, but when she returned to the main room near the front door, Ward stabbed her in the neck with a knife.

In fear of her life, the victim grabbed Ward’s face and then tried to leave, but felt a stab in her left upper shoulder.

She then felt another stab to her shoul-

der. She managed to get outside and crawled up the stairs to the next floor.

As the victim crawled, Marsh told the judge, she could feel she was losing consciousness.

The upstairs neighbors, who knew the victim, had heard thumping and banging noises from below their apartment. Then they heard the victim calling their names and asking for help. When police arrived, they found the victim on the floor at the top of the stairs.

She was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where she underwent surgery of both injured areas to determine the extent of damage caused by the stabbing.

“The knife went straight down,” Marsh said of the stab wound in the woman’s back. “Blood was pooling internally.”

Police found the knife in two pieces.

The knife handle was on a pink backpack on a pull-out couch, which nearly blocked the entrance to the apartment, where the victim had been sleeping.

Near a leg of the couch was the knife blade, which was “covered in blood up to the hilt where the knife was broken,” Marsh said.

If the case had gone to trial, Marsh said, the surgeon would have testified that either of the stab wounds “could have been life-threatening.” No third stab wound was located, but it was likely

she was stabbed twice in the same location on her back, Marsh said.

Marsh did not mention a protective order, but according to the charging document in the court file, the victim had an active protective order against Ward, with whom she had been in a romantic relationship for several years.

At the time of the stabbing, they had lived together since August 2012. They worked together at an Ocean City hotel.

In court, Ward entered an Alford plea, which is considered a guilty plea. The defendant does not admit guilt, but acknowledges that the prosecution has sufficient evidence for a conviction.

In a letter dated June 6 to the judge, Ward wrote that the incident “was a simple domestic dispute” and “in no way was there any intention of doing any harm or bodily damage.”

Ward wrote that she had told police that the victim had attacked her from behind with a knife and “stabbed me in the middle of my back near the spine. This began the dispute between myself and. . .”

Hospital staff took photos of her stab wounds, Ward wrote, and of the “bite marks on my bottom lip, bruises all over my body from her kicking me and a red eye from her finger poking at me.

“All of my injuries were a result of her being on top of me attacking me with See WARD’S on Page 12A

Ward’s sentencing to be scheduled after investigation everything that she had,� Ward wrote.

She asked the judge if she could press charges against her girlfriend. The judge forwarded the letter to Ward’s public defender.

The letter was not mentioned in court and no charges were placed against the victim.

Ward could not have written the letter herself, because she told Judge Bloxom that she had a sixth-grade education and could neither read nor write.

Marsh said the sentencing guidelines were from 12 to 20 years of unsuspended incarceration and she requested a sentence with a 16-year cap of active incarceration, to be followed by probation.

Ward’s public defender, Kristina Watkowski, said she believed the guidelines were nine to 14 years of unsuspended time.

The determination of accurate guidelines will be part of the pre-sentence investigation, which is estimated to take 30 to 60 days. Both the prosecution and the defense will gather evidence about the possible permanency of the victim’s injuries.

Until the sentencing, Ward will remain in jail.

New Jersey man struck and killed on Route 50 NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Nov. 1, 2013) Gov. Martin O’Malley has approved the extradition of accused murderer Matthew Nicholas Burton, who sits in the Worcester County Jail, to Delaware.

In Circuit Court in Snow Hill last Friday, Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby told Judge Lloyd Whitehead that O’Malley had approved Burton’s extradition and he was waiting for the paper work.

That paperwork has been received and a warrant will be served on Burton,

According to Maryland State Police, Stephen J. Bird, 38, of Madison, N.J., was walking from right to left across the eastbound side of Route 50 and was in the travel portion of the highway when he was struck by the Jeep driven by Aaron Bentley Craft of Hampstead.

Craft stopped the Jeep and he and his passenger, Travis Morgan Taylor, 26, of Ocean City, tried to find what the Jeep had struck.

Investigators reconstructed the location of the impact and noted Bird was 3.2

feet from the yellow centerline in the lane of traffic.

During the investigation, Route 50 was closed for approximately four hours because of the reconstruction of the collision. According to Maryland State Police, little to no disruption to either eastbound or westbound traffic occurred.

The Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office met with investigators, and no charges are pending against Craft.

Maryland State Police also said alcohol was not a factor.

who will appear in Circuit Court again to be advised of his rights. Burton was in court last Friday for the brief discussion. “He has the right to challenge the governor’s approval of extradition,� Oglesby said Wednesday.

According to online records, Burton is scheduled to be in Circuit Court on Nov. 8.

Burton, a former custodian at a Gumboro, Del., church, is facing trial in Delaware for the June 2012 kidnapping, rape and murder of Nicole Bennett, a mother who worked at the daycare at the church. He was charged with murder and other crimes after Bennett’s body

was found in a ditch embankment on Swamp Road in Worcester County, about six miles from the church where they worked.

DNA reportedly linked Burton, a convicted six offender, to the crime and he was arrested near Rehoboth in July 2012.

During the continuing investigation, detectives determined that Bennett had been killed in Delaware, not Maryland.

That led Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby to drop charges in Maryland in August. Charges were then placed against Burton in Delaware and he is fighting extradition.

“That’s not a problem that’s exclusive to Ocean City, it’s a national problem.�

Greg Shockley, owner of Shenanigan’s Irish Pub and the Shoreham Hotel, has been a proponent of such a study.

As chair of the Maryland Tourism Development Board, Shockley recently completed a similar process at the state level, and provided insight as to what exactly the town would need, and would get, if it goes forward with the project.

OCT: You’re the only person who’s gone through it and done it at the state level, and I think that has already set the tone here in Ocean City.

Shockley: It creates some level of consensus. There’s been a lot of discussion over the past three or four years, however long TAB [the city’s Tourism Advisory Board] has been around, about the direction the town needs to go or where we really want to go. We all know we want to be successful. We all know we want the town to have a positive image. But there are several ways to get there. A strategic plan would give us a roadmap to get there based on a consensus.

OCT: When you did this with the state, how did you start?

Shockley: The state mandates the Maryland Tourism Development Board to have a five-year strategic plan, and to revisit it every year. I don’t know where that originated, but it has provided us guidance for the past six year, since I’ve been on the board. We started out trying to grow the budget, and then the budget was cut in half in ‘08-‘09 due to the economy. In the years since, it has grown, and we’re looking at one of our largest appropriations ever this year for tourism.

OCT: In the case of Ocean City, the town government already has a pretty absolute financial commitment to tourism, and I guess the bigger question there is what we’re going to spend it on and where.

Shockley: There’s a couple big issues on the table. Number one, people who live in Ocean City have to realize what tourism does for this town, and how much money comes in through that economy. Yes, we have expenses from it, but without tourism and tourism at the levels we enjoy now, people would pay a lot more for the services they get through this town.

You have to understand that tourism drives our economy. And there’s a fundamental decision to be made at that point – is that the way you want to go? If that’s not it, and you want to close your ranks and your borders, you won’t be able to afford to live here and enjoy what you do. So the dollars have to be shown, and their specific effect on the town.

Your next question out of that is do you stay an event-based economy, or Continued from Page 1A

do you go back to the traditional visitor – who used to come for a week, but now comes for two or three days.

We’ve basically become a weekend town. Very good weekends, and we have solid business during the week, but it’s a weekend-based economy. I think the days are gone where people would check into a hotel for seven days and spend all their time there like they did in the 80s. The condo market changed that, and I think most of the hotels have realized that they’re looking at three or four days as the goal. The condos keep what’s left of the week-long business, which makes sense, because they have kitchens, etc., and people are trying to save money.

OCT: Even the condos have said that their mini-weeks are very much up and their full weeks are down.

They’re almost on the same schedule.

Shockley: That’s not a problem that’s exclusive to Ocean City, it’s a national problem. Americans take the shortest vacation period of anybody in the world. Most of Europe is six weeks off a year and two or three through the summer. We may get two weeks, as a rule of thumb, but people are

afraid to take it in this economy for fear that if they’re not at work, they’ll get fired.

Top that with those of us with children and are involved with sports, which is a huge time thing and an economic entity unto itself. You’re taking the trip that you would take otherwise, but instead of going to the tourist stuff they’re sitting out on the soccer field. It just goes down the tree from there. The town has to decide whether it wants the events or the families. Those are the things that are identified in the strategic plan.

The other thing that’s identified are the assets, what you have to offer people and the infrastructure to deliver. I think we have a lot of assets. It’s not quantified at this point, but you can fish, you can kayak – there’s a lot for people to do other than just sit on the beach. You look at your strengths, weaknesses, where you can grow, where are your threats.

It’s a lot of discussion. As I see it, whoever is hired to do this, if they do the job correctly, a good bit of work will be done before they get here in interviews. Talking to the people who are involved. Starting with the Mayor,

to Buddy [Jenkins], to Hale [Harrison] – the older generation, whatever you want to call it, people who are big stakeholders.

OCT: How do you identify where your input is coming from? Obviously there are a lot of people involved here, from people who have a lot at stake to people who might own a handful of condos.

Shockley: You have to pick it. Unfortunately, 20 to 25 people is probably your number in the room to really grind this stuff out. Obviously the Hales and the Buddys in the world will have their people in the room. But you have to pick a cross-section of the population, from the private citizen, someone to represent condo associations, retail, hotels, you have to pick a diverse group. I don’t know if politicians are involved. They were in ours, we have delegates and senators on the board. I don’t know if you put the Mayor on it, council people on it, that’s a decision that has to be made down the line.

OCT: In your experience with the state, and potentially here as well, were there any obvious differences in Continued on Page 14A

“Obviously everyone comes to the table with their own sphere of interest.”

approach between the people involved? And how do you make those gel?

Shockley: Obviously everyone comes to the table with their own sphere of interest. But the reason you’re on the state board, or on a board here, is that you have some sense of the big picture and you understand the importance of the industry as a whole. They do the same thing at Hotel-Motel [the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association] every week. The hotel guys sit down, and they have different views on how to get to something. But in order to Continued from Page 13A

move forward – because if tourism moves forward, their business moves forward – they’ll find some area of consensus. Will they agree on everything? No, they never will. But the guiding light is that tourism is important to me, my business, and the town, and it’s worth the effort. I may have to give up something to get something, a process that is lost in today’s political world.

OCT: Instead of just yelling until you get what you asked for.

Shockley: I think people can posture all they want on the outside. In the case of Ocean City and the case of the state, people grab their position to

make a point. But when it’s explained to them at that level, they realize its for the good and they can move forward.

OCT: Once that message is established, how do you get it to trickle down to everyone?

Shockley: It’s reported out and people can read it and ask about it.

You put strategies in place, and once they’re agreed upon its up to staff. But you have the means laid out, it’s not just ‘here you go, make this work.’ At the state, that was very true in marketing tourism to the legislators and showing them how valuable it was and getting them to approve our appropriations and buy in to the tourism message.

OCT: It seems almost the opposite here. With the state, you’re really trying to get the legislature to buy into tourism stimulus, whereas here the town is already stretching itself to give as much money as possible. And all of the major tourism efforts are already funneled through the town, which has taken on the role as the central organ for destination marketing.

Shockley: I think the difference

between the state and the city is that most of the people here really understand tourism, and they know what it does. So the strategy is fine, to continue to grow tourism. Where the work is here is tactics, how is it being done? It goes back again to event versus vacationer, and how the image of the town will continue to be nurtured.

With the strategic plan, there’ something there that everybody can grab hold of and say ‘this is how we’re supposed to be doing this.’

There’s a debate in town right now on whether or not to put advertising on the website. But I look at the website, and maybe it’s time to redo the whole website. It’s been up five years now, which I think in that world is an eternity.

OCT: The life span gets shorter as time goes on.

Shockley: The state is getting ready to redo theirs right now, and their’s came out after Ocean City’s.

It’s an expensive process, but that’s something that has to be looked at. I thought that was more important, deciding if you just want to redo it, than to put banner advertising on it. At the state, there’s a little more emphasis to

“A lot of people have complained about where MGH advertises.”

Rodney is a little more aggressive and makes you think a little bit. But that’s a decision as to what you want. It’s the same thing with restaurants. You have guys who advertise in a way that I would never advertise, and then you have guys who just want black and white text. The point is there are a lot of ways to skin that cat. You have a broad population base, and everything appeals to somebody, it’s just a matter of finding the right people and getting the right number of people.

OCT: That would have a lot of bearing on if you want to stay eventbased or get more people consistently through the week, what demographics

fit what and which ones you want to target. Did the state ever go so far as to say ‘these are the people we want, this is how we want to get them?’

Shockley: Ten years ago, everybody was the same. They’d just take numbers. That’s changed over time.

The state is somewhat limited by its budget where it can advertise, but it attempts to market smart. And it has its own demographic.

Andy was telling us how the city moved the income limit back down to $50,000 in their marketing approach, and how when you move it up to say $75,000, you’re still getting all the people at the bottom and you’re not

adding that much on the top side. And by moving your ages, pretty much the same people watch the same things.

So his point was, by moving the age up or moving the demographics up, you’re still going to get this much and not much more because you’ve already reached most of the group.

OCT: Most people are paying attention to the same media. There’s not as much variation as you’d think.

Shockley: A lot of people have complained about where MGH advertises. But if you advertise on, say, Orioles games, you’re going to be everywhere. You’re going to be seen Continued on Page 16A

go outside and have somebody look at it. Here, the town has been kind of jaded by studies and outside consultants. The state is a little more willing to spend money to do it.

The city would go to Andy [Malis, President of MGH Advertising, the city’s marketing agency] and say ‘what do we need?’ Whereas the state would go to somebody outside and say ‘what do we have and what do we want to do with it,’ and then come back to whoever is going to do the website. The city is much more on a line right to their own people.

OCT: You go through a study and it’s a lot of work, and when you’re finished people say ‘thank God that’s done and behind us’ and then go back to business as usual. I think that’s why they get jaded. How do you get past that?

Shockley: It’s terrifying to have to deal with consultants when you’re the one being looked at. I liken it to reality TV shows – like ‘Hotel Impossible.’

What would those guys say to me if they came in here? The city is the same way. It’s against human nature to want to be examined. Especially when the people elected you and are basically supposed to be trusting your judgment. It’s tough to let other people come into the process. But if you do let people come in, or look outside, you find out what other people are doing that’s really helping them.

OCT: It’s sort of a matter of letting go.

Shockley: I understand their desire to hold onto that. Particularly in Ocean City, where the tourism budget and tourism philosophy is the most important part of our town. As a mayor or councilman, you’re not going to want to give that up. For the most part, they’ve done a great job, but an outside look never hurt anybody.

OCT: Do you see it as possible, in the end, for the city to really go about re-vamping its message or its brand in a conscious way?

Shockley: Well, right now our brand is Rodney. He is the spokesperson/icon for Ocean City. He’s been out there for five or six years and done a pretty good job. I know there’s debate – I don’t know how it’s divided – but there’s a segment that doesn’t like Rodney and they think we need to go to something else, and there’s a group that says Rodney’s great.

The thing here is that we aren’t advertising to ourselves. For now, Rodney is a good symbol for us and when you go outside the city, he is recognized. But he doesn’t have to mean anything to us. There are guys who have a valid point in wanting to go back to that more emotional approach to it, the softer sell with a beauty shot.

“I don’t know that the strategic vision will help or hurt that divide.” on the Eastern Shore, in Denton, and in downtown Baltimore. When you advertise on TV, it’s hard not to get all the people.

OCT: I think there’s a big difference as well when people talk about where we’re advertising versus who we’re advertising to. There’s not a whole lot of difference you can make with the placement, because honestly most people don’t watch the same stuff anymore. But if you tailor the message to a certain group of people, it makes a difference.

Shockley: There have been discussions about that, too, and I’m not sure where that will end up. MGH likes to make people think in their marketing, that’s Andy’s niche. It’s not your typical run-of-the-mill advertising. I mean, look at Mr. Boh proposing to Miss Utz. That’s off-thewall. But the other way to advertise for Smyth Jewelers is to have a guy kneeling on the beach giving his girl a ring. But MGH leans more toward that thought-provoking, clever image.

That’s how we got Rodney. Prior to that, we were doing the beauty shots that just said ‘come to Ocean City’ and Continued from Page 15A

all that.

OCT: I wanted to touch on what you said the other day as far as the division in TAB as far as who’s doing well and who isn’t, that one track moves when the other doesn’t. Where do you see that division lying and how would the study help that?

Shockley: I don’t know that the strategic vision will help or hurt that divide. But it will give everybody something that they can buy into and a message that says ‘here’s how we’re marketing’ and ‘here’s the direction we’re moving.’ So if you want to invest your business, you have an idea where the vision for the town is, not just ‘we expect to do the same thing year after year and see where we end up.’

Ultimately, the main driving factor in this town is something no one has any control over, and that’s the weather. We fought it all year this year, and that’s probably part of the reason some guys did better and some guys didn’t. If you have outside seating, you got torn up. You hear, anecdotally, ‘I had my best year ever’ and ‘I had my worst year ever’ and you’re looking at them and thinking ‘you had

a bad year, really?’

The longer I do it, the weirder it gets. I’m just thankful I have the business I have, and its been good to me.

OCT: Even if what you decide on saying isn’t what exactly what everyone wants, I think a targeted message is going to get you more results than just going all over the place to try to accommodate everyone.

Shockley: It’s a problem of success. You aren’t looking at building infrastructure, or a new water park, or 30 more hotels to take care of the number you want. We have all that here, it just needs to be focused. And that may pass by some of the people who have come here before. But there are enough people out there that we can fill in whatever we lose.

In many ways, I think we’ve been successful in spite of ourselves. We’re blessed with a great location to start with. I’m not saying the process shouldn’t be without debate or conversation, but it’s become too much.

When you start dividing into camps is when you lose sight of the main goal, which is to make tourism better than it is now and generate more to the economy.

OC Police Department partners with Santa House for holidays (Nov. 1, 2013) In an effort to consolidate local holiday charity efforts, and to bring greater relief to those in need during the upcoming holiday season, the Ocean City Police Department will be partnering with the “Santa House, Inc.” (a 501(c)(3) registered charity) holiday food and toy drive.

In past years both holiday charities have been able to provide help to Worcester County and Ocean City residents in need. By incorporating the resources of the Santa House with the assistance of the OCPD we can improve the process by which the generous donations of our com-

munity are distributed to those in real need during the holidays.

The OCPD and the Santa House are asking that all charitable monetary donations and contributions normally made to the OCPD be directed to the “Santa House, Inc.” As in years past, all toy donations, as well as monetary donations, will be used to provide gifts and food to local families.

Unwrapped, new toys may be dropped off at the Public Safety Building at 65th Street and Coastal Highway. These donations will be distributed through the Santa House charity to Ocean City and Worces-

ter County residents in need during this upcoming holiday season.

For those who wish to contribute monetary donations, checks can be mailed to the “Santa House, Inc.” 4520 Red House Road, Snow Hill, Md. 21863. Checks made out to the Santa House, Inc. may also be dropped off at any Calvin B. Taylor Bank.

The Santa House is accepting referrals of children or families that are in need of assistance. In order to be considered for this program, a family must be referred by community organizations, criminal justice agencies, church affiliations, schools or

state or county personnel.

The Ocean City Police Department will continue to seek the assistance of volunteers to help distribute toys and food.

The OCPD and the Santa House ask that all donations be made by Monday, Dec. 15. Distribution is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 8 a.m.

The OCPD Public Affairs Office will begin taking names of volunteers. To submit a donation, volunteer, or refer a family in need, please contact the Santa House, Inc. at 410-632-4924 or the OCPD Public Affairs Office at 410-520-5395.

icy, many property owners find themselves running up against the fine line of age discrimination. Hotels attempting to ban high school students have been met with legal challenges over the years, noted Susan Jones, Executive Director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.

In 2001 and 2002, as the result of such a challenge, the HMRA worked with other state lodging groups to craft legislation that would clarify what can and cannot be done, resulting in the Maryland “Inkeepers Law� of 2002.

That policy specifies that businesses renting four or more rooms can charge additional security deposits, require upfront payment, or mandate parental signatures for minors. “But ultimately age is a protected class, and the hotel keeper cannot deny access to a minor if they can pay a reasonable rate,� Jones said. “If the owner chooses to rent in May or June, and a kid calls, you can’t turn them away,� Conev said. Furthermore, the threat of consequences for those who misrepresent themselves is lower for private condo owners who rent their units, since they are not covered under the 2002 law. “You can’t really evict someone without 30-day notice unless you have some type of lodging agreement, instead of a lease,� he said.

Partnership Program donates smoke alarms for distribution (Nov. 1, 2013) Delmarva Power’s Emergency Services Partnership Program recently donated residential smoke alarms to the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s office for distribution throughout Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

The fire marshal’s office received 1,000 smoke alarms, which have a 10-year, long-life, sealed lithium battery.

“Our Emergency Services Partnership Program is committed to supporting the work of the men and women of volunteer and career fire service organizations,” said John Allen, Delmarva Power Region vice president. “These donated smoke alarms, when used properly, will help save the lives of the victims of fire and the people who come to their aid.”

“Smoke alarms are a good first line of defense against possible injury and death from fire and smoke,” said Maryland State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci.

“The Delmarva Power donation extends our reach into area communities to those people who need the most help.”

Additional organizations supporting this effort include the following: Maryland State Firemen’s Association, Fire and Burn Safety Coalition of Maryland, Maryland State Fire Prevention Com-

mission and Maryland Fire Chief’s Association.

Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse provided these alarms to Delmarva Power at a reduced cost to help support this safety effort.

Since 2000, Delmarva Power has donated 18,750 regular smoke alarms, 1,042 special needs smoke alarms and 1,850 carbon monoxide alarms to fire safety officials in Maryland and Delaware.

Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gary Howard sets American weightlifting records Local weightlifter returns to competition after injury sidelined him for 20 years CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

(Nov. 1, 2013) Weightlifter and Fitness Director at Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gym Gary Howard hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a trophy or medal in more than two decades after sustaining a blow to his shoulder.

That changed on Oct. 13, when he broke two American records in his return to competitive lifting at the 2013 Central Maryland Push/Pull Raw Drug Free Challenge at the Colosseum Gym in Columbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on cloud nine,â&#x20AC;? Howard said following the competition.

He set a record for his deadlift of 200 kilograms (441 pounds) and for his combined bench press and deadlift score, benching 125 kilograms (276 pounds), for men age 55-59 in the 181-198-pound range.

Others have lift more, Howard said, but this competition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;raw,â&#x20AC;? meaning competitors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use any special lifting gear. They also passed a drug test before competing.

After his showing in the Oct. 13 competition, Howard said he plans to continue lifting competitively. He has been meeting with physical therapists and getting ultrasounds to try to find ways to deal with his injury, but so far, the best solution has been an arthritis medicine a client recommended â&#x20AC;&#x201D; totally legal in the drug-free competitions, he said.

Howard plans to compete again in March 2014. In the meantime, he can be found coaching clients at Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gym, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fitness director for the past three years.

As petition deadline nears, city prepared to take risk for arts ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Nov. 1, 2013) With fewer than three weeks to go before the signature-gathering deadline, the controversial petition to halt borrowing for construction at the convention center continues to dominate conversation at City Hall.

The local activist group known as Ocean City Taxpayers for Social Justice has until Nov. 20 to gather the 1,226 signatures needed to bring the $8.5 million portion of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond issue to referendum. But adherents and critics of the project have clearly dug in their heels on the matter, with OCTSJ headman Tony Christ decrying the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;tyrannicalâ&#x20AC;? decision-making process while Mayor Rick Meehan referred to Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort as â&#x20AC;&#x153;irrationalâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;obstructionist.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the immediate rivalry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; involved, what has received less play is the reality of what will actually happen to the convention centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business once the project is finished.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to move forward with building a performing arts theater in the convention center, made roughly two years ago, was based on a study completed in July, 2010 by Crossroads Consulting Services.

Once it was found that the study showed the project could be effective, its details were largely forgotten, with one responsible official admitting this week that they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the document in over a year. Other private-sector leaders said they had never seen the report to begin with.

The document itself does not give either a glowing endorsement or a damnation of the project, but instead predicates the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success on a number of conditions that the city will have to work hard to achieve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although Convention Center Director Larry Noccolino is confident that they are within reach.

The study follows a 2008 facilities assessment done on the center, where it was determined that â&#x20AC;&#x153;market analysis suggested that a multi-purpose auditorium would be more complementary to convention center uses than a high-end dedicated performing arts center.â&#x20AC;?

At what point this philosophy was reversed is not clear. The report goes on to recommend the favorability of the project, based on the projection that the 1,200seat theater space will be able to attract more new venues than it sacrifices due to it replacing open hall space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we going to get Lady Gaga in here?

No, that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, unless everyone is willing to pay $500 a ticket,â&#x20AC;? Noccolino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what I had success with at Valley Forge [Noccolinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous post] was attracting those up-and-coming regional acts.â&#x20AC;?

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PINES PLAZA WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION CREATION OF SERVICE AREA, CONSTRUCTION, AND PROVISION OF SERVICE FROM OCEAN PINES SERVICE AREA WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND In accordance with the provisions of Sections PW 5-305, PW 5-306 and PW 5-307 of the Public Works Article of the Code of Public Local Laws of Worcester County, Maryland, the Worcester County Commissioners will hold a combined public hearing to create the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area in which public water and sewer services will be provided by contract from the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area through sanitary facilities to be constructed by Worcester County. The public hearing on these matters will be held on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2013 at 1:30 P.M. in the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING ROOM ROOM 1101 - COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ONE WEST MARKET STREET SNOW HILL, MARYLAND 21863 Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area Creation - In accordance with the provisions of Section PW 5-305, as directed by the County Commissioners by Resolution No. 12-1 adopted on February 7, 2012, staff investigated the proposed establishment of the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area and found that: the proposed facilities are desirable for the comfort, convenience, health, safety and welfare of the people to be served; construction and operation of the facilities is feasible; the proposal is in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the County; the proposal will not be unduly detrimental to the environment; and the design and operation of the facility will be in accordance with all required permits and applicable standards.

Provision of Services from Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area - In accordance with the provisions of Section PW 5-306, the County Commissioners propose that sanitary services to serve the newly created Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area will be provided by contract from the Ocean Pines Service Area by way of extension of the water and sewer infrastructure as envisioned in the Comprehensive Water and Sewerage Plan for Worcester County as amended by Resolution No. 05-9 adopted on April 5, 2011 which added the Greater Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area, a part of which includes the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area, and Resolution No. 11-27 adopted on November 1, 2011 which added the Ocean Pines Commercial Sub-Area (also know as the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area) to the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area for water planning purposes. Ratepayers within the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area will pay the equity contribution as established by the County Commissioners to the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area upon connection to the facilities and will thereafter pay user charges as established annually for the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area.

Construction of Sanitary Facilities to Serve the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area - In accordance with the provisions of Section PW 5-307, the County Commissioners propose to construct the water and sewer facilities extending from the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area to the Pines Plaza Commercial Sanitary Service Area. Based upon recent bids for this proposed construction project, the County Commissioners have established a budget of $1,950,000.00 (one million nine hundred fifty thousand and 00/100 dollars) for this project, including construction ($510,000.00) and equity contribution ($1,440,000.00) costs. Construction funding is proposed to be borrowed from the General Fund and repaid by the individual commercial businesses served by the water and sewer facilities with an up-front cost of $5,100 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) to reimburse the construction costs to serve a total of 100 EDUs, and financing of the equity contribution cost to the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area over 15-years with annual interest at 3.25% resulting in a quarterly charge of $305.00 per EDU. The case file for this proposed project may be reviewed at the Department of Environmental Programs, Room 1201 (2nd Floor) - Worcester County Government Center, Snow Hill, Maryland 21863 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday (except holidays).

NOVEMBER 1, 2013

MSO will lead booking of new venue out of the nearly 400,000 logged for the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Further, 41 percent of conventions and 75 percent of trade shows over that period used all three halls. The third hall – “Hall C” – will be replaced with the theater.

As part of the overall plan, however, the city enclosed the deck of the convention center last year to create an upstairs ballroom that compensates for the open space lost to the theater.

The Crossroads study notes that “event producers indicated that the ballroom’s location on the second floor may preclude some large item trade shows and consumer shows (e.g. autos, boats, etc.) from utilizing this new space for their exhibits.”

This creates somewhat of a new paradigm for the convention center, although Noccolino said most past users of Hall C will be able to use the theater in some capacity, so that the venue will not be starting from scratch.

“The groups that are already in house and under contract have also expressed interest,” he said. “At this point, we’re really looking at 20-30 open slots for performers out of the whole year.”

The other major question in the study is whether the projected incremental increase in business from new events will actually be as attractive as anticipated.

According to the study, the consultants ascertained from the town’s Cultural Arts Advisory Committee the type of events

Continued from Page 27A

they would project for the space. One such act that was found to be suitable was the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, which Noccolino is already anticipating.

“We’re already going to open up with Julian Benichou and the MSO,” Noccolino said. “I’m entertaining an offer right now from him for an entire concert series with the MSO.” However, the study also notes that booking will be difficult given the theater’s size and location relative to other venues, particularly the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center.

“We don’t want to go up against the competition, but the competition doesn’t want to go up against us,” Noccolino said.

Regionally based acts would be supplemented by those who were passing between larger venues, he noted.

If the theater is filed as predicted, the study indicates that the convention center would see a $200,000 to $240,000 increase in incremental revenue, and an additional $1 to $1.2 million in tourism impact to hotels and restaurants. However, this assumes 72 to 86 performances per year, with half being performances and concerts attracting 900-1,000 people, and half being smaller speaking events or seminars of roughly 500 in attendance.

“I think a good example of that would be [popular psychic] John Edwards. We got 750 people with only a four-month lead,” Noccolino said. “It doesn’t take long for word to get around.”

Worcester Prep boys’soccer team wins ESIAC crown LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

The Worcester Prep field hockey team celebrates after shutting out the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, 2-0, in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game last Friday in Berlin.

Wor. Prep field hockey team ESIAC champions Lady Mallards score two goals late in game to take home second straight title LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

(Nov. 1, 2013) When the Worcester Prep and Sts. Peter & Paul field hockey teams met during the regular season, the Lady Mallards came out on top 3-1 and 6-1.

The two squads went head-to-head for the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship trophy last Friday on the Mallards’ field in Berlin and the home team didn’t have as easy of a time earning a victory over the Sabres. But in the end, the Prep squad pulled out a 2-0 shutout to capture the ESIAC title for the second consecutive year.

“Sts. Peter & Paul definitely came to play and we had anticipated that,” said Mallards’ Coach Jenny Frostrom. “They were playing extremely tight defense.

Our top scorers were heavily marked.”

Worcester fired off a number of shots in the first half, but Frostrom said Sts. Peter & Paul’s defense and goalie were on their game. There was no score at the halftime break. It was the first time this

season the Mallards hadn’t scored in the first half of play and Frostrom said it was a little nerve-racking.

“We just didn’t get lucky in the first half,” Frostrom said. “I think the nerves had us a little bit in the first half, but we kind of settled into our own in the second half.”

Worcester maintained possession in their offensive end for a majority of the second half. The Mallards fought to get a goal and their efforts finally paid off.

Senior captain Sarah Arrington saw senior Hannah Esham and junior Caroline Lindsay loosely marked in front of the Sts. Peter & Paul goal and that’s where she hit the ball.

“I saw they were there. I just waited for the perfect moment and hoped they got it in,” Arrington said.

Esham scored with 8:37 left in the contest.

“I knew we needed to get a goal in and it needed to be done quick. We had a perfect pass from Sarah Arrington and I just saw the ball come across the line and I sent it in,” Esham said. “It was so great to have that feeling and to know that we were on top. It set a whole new momentum for the game. It was the confidence we needed to get the next goal.”

At the 7:04 mark, junior Jordie Loomis blasted a shot past the Sabres’

goalie to give Worcester a two-goal cushion.

When the final whistle blew, the Mallards sprinted toward senior goalie Maddie Pilchard (two saves) to celebrate.

Following the game, the championship trophy was presented to Worcester.

“My senior year, there’s nothing more I’d want. It was just the best feeling to finish up with a win,” Esham said.

Added Arrington, “We just played our hearts out. It was the best possible way to end high school field hockey. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

Frostrom said it was “extremely exciting” for her team to win the ESIAC title–only the second in the field hockey program’s history.

“They really played well together.

They wanted it,” she said.

The Mallards went 12-0 during the regular season. They shut out the Gunston Day Herons 5-0 in the ESIAC semifinals on Oct. 23, to advance to the championship match.

In 14 games, Worcester (14-0) scored 89 goals and only gave up three.

“The championship is great, but our season has been phenomenal. To have an undefeated season is history for See MALLARDS on Page 33A

(Nov. 1, 2013) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team edged out the Salisbury Christian Jaguars, 2-1, last Friday to capture the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title.

“It was a battle,” said Worcester Coach Terry Underkoffler. “I’m elated with the effort the guys put forth. The way they played defense was unparalleled.”

About 20 minutes into the game in Salisbury, senior captain Ryan Nally faked a shot on a free kick and passed to J.B. Loomis. Loomis, a senior captain, played the ball across the goal and senior Jack Marshall put it away.

Salisbury made it 1-1 about 10 minutes into the second half. After the goal, Underkoffler said it was a “furious battle back and forth, up and down the field.”

With about nine minutes remaining in the match, Nally beat two Salisbury Christian defenders and went one-onone with the Jaguars’ keeper. He put the ball in the back of the net to give the Prep squad the go-ahead goal.

Salisbury fought hard to score in the final minutes and was nearly successful, but Mallards’ senior goalie Isiah Nsah came up with a big save, diving to keep the ball out of the net. He finished the game with 13 saves.

“Lucky No. 13 was the best one,” Underkoffler said.

The Mallards held off the Jaguars’ charge and won the ESIAC trophy.

From the start of the game to the end, Underkoffler said he was pleased with his players’ performance. They definitely earned the title, he said.

“The effort they put out to defend them, to stop them, was just amazing and there was no letdown when they tied,” Underkoffler said. “They left everything out on the field for 80 minutes.”

Sophomore Charlie Trupo was an “unsung hero out there,” Underkoffler said.

His task was to cover Salisbury Christian senior Brady Dorman, the league’s leading scorer. Trupo did his job well, only allowing Dorman to get two shots off.

“That was quite a defensive effort. To shut him down was key,” the coach said.

Worcester finished the year 12-3-2.

Underkoffler said he was pleased with the season overall. The boys worked hard, they grew as players and there was depth at nearly every position so they could play different systems.

Nally led the squad with 16 goals and 24 assists. He was named ESIAC Player

Decatur and Northeast to battle in first round LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Nov. 1, 2013) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team is pumped up and ready for the post-season, which begins Friday, Nov. 1.

“When you get to the playoffs you see tall teams with great volleyball players. It’s a different breed of volleyball Coach Zimmer players,” Decatur Sea-

hawks’ Coach Sarah Zimmer said Tuesday evening. “We definitely had a couple great practices this week. The girls are a lot more focused than I’ve seen them.”

Decatur (8-7) received the No. 4 seed in Section I of the 3A South Regional tournament. The No. 5 Northeast (AA) Eagles will take a trip to Berlin to battle the Seahawks in first-round action at 4 p.m. today, Friday.

The two teams met in the opening round of the 3A East Regional tournament last year. The Eagles won the first

two games, but the Seahawks fought back and took the last three for the victory.

Zimmer said playing on their court in front of a home crowd is a confidence booster for the Seahawks.

To win the match against Northeast, Zimmer said her players “need to communicate and have great passes.”

“If we can’t do those two things then we don’t have a chance,” she said.

The winner will face the top seeded James M. Bennett Clippers on Monday in Salisbury.

(Nov. 1, 2013) Senior Nick White scored three goals to lead the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team to a 5-1 victory over the Northeast (AA) Eagles in the semifinal round of Section I of the 3A South Regional tournament.

Six minutes into Tuesday’s game in Berlin, White dribbled through several Eagles and scored to put Decatur on the board. About two minutes later, freshman Alton Walker volleyed the ball into an open goal. The second-seeded Seahawks had a 2-0 advantage going into the halftime break on their home field.

“I thought we played well the first 1015 minutes,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “Then we went up 2-0 and we got lazy and complacent.”

White netted a shot 1:15 into the second half. He scored his third goal of the game less than two minutes later.

Senior David Bernal-Clark tallied

the Seahawks’ fifth goal 17 minutes into the half and Decatur increased it lead, 5-0.

Northeast, the No. 3 seed, logged its lone goal with just over 13 minutes remaining in the contest.

Decatur senior goalie Logan Thumma stopped eight Eagles’ shots.

“We played well in the beginning of each half,” Greenwood said. “We worked the ball around, we worked off the ball, we made good passes and we ran our set pieces the way they’re supposed to be run.”

Decatur (11-3) will play the top seeded Northern Patriots (12-0) of Calvert County in the Section I finals, Friday, Nov. 1 in Owings, Md. “We need to get out to an early lead and limit their chances to score,” Greenwood said. “And, we need to play 80 minutes.”

The winner will advance to the 3A South Regional championship game, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 5.

(Nov. 1, 2013) The Stephen Decatur football team scored early and never looked back, winning last Friday’s game against the James M. Bennett Clippers at Seahawk Stadium, 49-0.

Decatur Coach Bob Knox said the victory by such a large margin was “unexpected.”

“Bennett scared us because they have a few athletes that are game breakers,” Knox said. The Decatur defense was able to keep those “game breakers” in check.

“It was a team effort, which is what we need,” he said. “They did everything we asked them to do…We executed well and good things happened.”

Senior Demond Henry got things rolling for the Seahawks two minutes into the game. He ran the ball 54 yards for a touchdown. Junior Austin Dundore’s extra-point kick was good.

Senior P.J. Copes carried the ball 11 yards into the end zone to boost Decatur’s advantage to 13-0 with 3:59 remaining in the first quarter. Dundore’s kick was on point.

Junior quarterback Justin Meekins hit Copes from about 19 yards out for the touchdown at the 5:15 mark in the second quarter. Dundore made the extra point and the home team led, 210.

Meekins carried the ball 33 yards for a touchdown and Dundore’s PAT put Decatur on top, 28-0, 3:16 before the halftime break.

First-half scoring was caped off by Copes’ 63-yard run into the end zone with 47 seconds remaining. Decatur held a commanding 35-0 lead at halftime.

Sophomore Dryden Brous scored twice in the second half. Dundore converted both his extra-point attempts.

Copes rushed eight times, racking up 132 yards to lead the Decatur offense.

Brous ran the ball twice for 103 yards.

“Our offense is still a work in progress,” Knox said. “It’s getting better each week.”

Meekins was 4-for-6 passing, for 91 yards.

“Justin did a great job making the reads Friday,” Knox said. “When you run a play and the defense has to think about three things it slows them down.”

The Decatur defense was led by senior Chase Sams who registered nine tackles and sacked the Bennett quarterback once. Brous had eight tackles and a sack. Seniors Andrew Borradaile and Wyatt Brady and junior Jeremiah Purnell chipped in with five tackles apiece.

The win improved Decatur’s record to 5-3 with two games remaining in the regular season.

“As long as we continue to improve, we can be a dangerous team,” Knox said.

Decatur’s seniors will be honored before the game tonight, Nov. 1, against the Parkside Rams in Berlin. Game time is 6.

“Parkside is dangerous. They won their last two games,” Knox said. “They played the teams we (both) lost to better than we played them.”

Worcester Prep,” Frostrom said. “We have just had an excellent group of seniors and starters and they just know how to work well together and it’s made for an unstoppable force this year. I’m certainly going to miss [the seniors.]”

Seven seniors will graduate in May. They all started and were key contributors.

“You can’t even pick them apart.

They’re equally valuable,” Frostrom said. “There are big shoes to fill for the girls next year.”

Pilchard, Loomis, Arrington and seniors Meg Lingo (captain) and Alison Greer were awarded First Team AllESIAC honors. Arrington was also named Player of the Year.

“I was so surprised,” Arrington said.

“It’s just an amazing feeling. I never imagined that I would be honored with this.”

Sophomore Isabel Carulli and senior captain Maddy Stearns received Second Team recognition. Esham and senior Libby Truitt earned Honorable Mention distinction.

Despite losing seven starters, a core group of veterans will return in 2014.

prove. Moving forward, we need to work on consistency.”

Sophomore Alison Alvarado was the first Seahawk to cross the finish line. She placed 15th overall (21:24). Senior Katie Collins was right behind her in 16th place (21:30). Junior Meya Chilengi was the third Decatur runner to complete the race (32nd, 23:01). Seniors Alex Tushup and Chloe FauntLeRoy both finished the race in 23:18 (36th place).

Stigler said the boys learned from watching the girls’ race. He told the Seahawks they had to “go out fast the first mile and try to hold on.”

“They did that and ran well,” Stigler said. “I thought the boys ran really well for the most part. The top two boys ran great races.”

Kent Island won the boys’ competition, scoring 26 points. Cambridge was second (91), North Caroline placed third (112) and Decatur finished with 124 points. Senior Kevin Herbert was the first Seahawk to cross the finish line. He finished 11th overall (17:30). Junior Jake Gaddis followed two seconds behind in 12th place (17:32). He tied with Kent Island’s Austin Heath.

Rounding out the top five Decatur finishers was senior John Niedfeldt (28th, 18:17), freshman Cameron James (36th, 18:53) and senior Jacob Eisenman (46th, 19:17).

Male and female runners who placed first through 15th earned All-Bayside Conference honors. Alvarado, Herbert and Gaddis received accolades.

Decatur was scheduled to compete in the 3A South Regional cross county meet yesterday, Oct. 31, at Oak Ridge Park in Hughesville. In past years, Decatur participated in the 3A East region, one of the strongest in the state for cross country and track.

The top 25 percent of individual runners and approximately half of the teams competing in each regional race will advance to the state championship, Saturday, Nov. 9, at McDaniel College in Westminster.

Seahawks fall to Hurricanes 4-3 Seahawks’ 4-3 loss in Calvert County. “It was by far the best game our team has played all season.”

Junior Jillian Petito gave No. 2 seeded Decatur a 1-0 lead 17 minutes into the game. Top-seeded Huntingtown evened the score three minutes later.

One minute before halftime, sophomore Seahawk Lexi McDonough crossed the ball and senior captain Rebecca Lederman headed it into the goal.

In the second half, the Hurricanes netted three shots in 18 minutes to take a 42 lead.

With five minutes remaining in the game, Petito cut Huntingtown’s advantage to one. The visiting Seahawks were unable to tally a fourth goal in the final minutes.

“They played with heart and they didn’t give up. Huntingtown was 11-0-1 and they only had three goals scored on them all season,” Bunting said. “It was the first time all season the girls walked off the field feeling proud they played as a team.

They played the best they could and I can’t ask for any more than that.”

Bunting said freshman goalie Rachel Florek had a fantastic game and played liked an experienced, seasoned keeper.

She stopped 20 Hurricanes’ shots.

McDonough put Decatur on the board 13 minutes into the game. Seventeen minutes before halftime, Northeast evened it up and pulled ahead 2-1 three minutes later. Petito made it 2-2 five seconds before the break. Her goal got the Seahawks’ fired up, Bunting said, and gave them momentum going into the second have.

Lederman provided Decatur with the go-ahead goal five minutes into the second half, but Northeast answered three minutes later.

Petito was wide open in front of the goal and buried her shot and the Seahawks led 4-3 with 24 minutes left in the match.

Lederman scored twice and Petito one more time to boost Decatur’s advantage to 7-3. Northeast notched a fourth goal with 25 seconds on the clock. Florek had 10 saves.

Decatur finished the year 8-5.

“We had our ups and downs, but I’m so proud of the girls for the way they don’t give up,” Bunting said. “It’s been a really fun season. They’re a great group of kids and I feel lucky to have coached them.”

The team will lose its three senior captains–Lederman, Liz Rougcher and Rebecca Haskell–to graduation.

“They’re key players, no doubt, but we’re lucky we have a lot of young talent,” Bunting said. “The future looks bright for Stephen Decatur soccer.”

Mallards come up short in conference finals; coach pleased with players’ effort LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Nov. 1, 2013) After a 45-minute warm-up, the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team was geared up to battle its Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres last Friday.

Unfortunately, the referees thought the game in Berlin began at 4 p.m. not 3:30 p.m. so Coach Hartnett the teams had to wait around for the officials to get things started.

“We got off to a slow start in the first half,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett.

“The kids were iced waiting around, but that’s no excuse.”

Fifteen minutes before halftime, the Sabres scored. About three minutes later they pulled ahead 2-0.

With four minutes left in the game, Sts. Peter & Paul capitalized on a penalty shot and went on to win the game 3-0.

Prep sophomore goalie Grace Tunis logged 11 saves.

“They played a great second half. It was their best offensive game of the season in the second half, but when you’re down 2-0 it’s hard to come back,” Hartnett said. “The girls kept fighting. We told them to have fun and they did. They knew they did the best they could.”

The Mallards ended the year 9-3.

Hartnett said the 2013 season was “fabulous.”

“It was a great season for us,” Hartnett said. “You couldn’t challenge them enough. They wanted to learn. They grew and got so much better.”

Hartnett said in her 18 years coaching at Worcester Prep, this season was one off the most enjoyable.

“They’re a great group of girls. They were like a little family,” Hartnett said.

Senior captains Lilly DiNardo and Alissa Talbert and juniors Amanda Gabriel and Molly Soule earned First Team All-ESIAC honors. Tunis, sophomore Julia D’Antonio and freshman Julie Talbert received Second Team accolades.

Five seniors, three of whom were full-time starters, will graduate in May. Six juniors, five sophomores and five freshmen will return in 2014 with another year of experience under their belts.

“We’re so balanced,” Hartnett said.

“We’ll be strong next year. I would say we are set for awhile.”

Fluty: The team we had was better than our (2-11) record LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Nov. 1, 2013) Kent Island brought the Stephen Decatur field hockey team’s season to an abrupt end last Thursday as the Buccaneers knocked the Seahawks out of the 2A South Regional tournament.

Top-seeded Kent Island won the second round of the 2A South Section II division in conCoach Fluty vincing style, 9-0 against the No. 4 Seahawks.

“We started out playing strong, especially in the midfield, but then we had some mental breakdowns,” said Decatur Coach Michelle Fluty.

Kent Island led 3-0 at halftime. When the home team scored its fourth goal, it took the wind out of the Seahawks’ sails.

Decatur senior goalie Abby Friedman played in goal the first half and the final 10 minutes of the game. She stopped 12 Kent Island shots. Sophomore Sophia Clemente was in goal for Decatur the first 20 minutes of the second half. She recorded seven saves.

Decatur finished the season 2-11.

“Overall, I think we underperformed.

I feel like the team we had was better than our record,” Fluty said. “We were physically strong in games, in terms of fitness and aggressiveness, but mentally, there were a lot of breakdowns that we weren’t making corrections of this season.”

Seven seniors will graduate from the 2013 team. A majority of them were starters. Ten players are slated to return next season.

“It leaves a lot of openings with seven graduating. It will be interesting to see who steps up next year to take their places,” Fluty said. “There will also be some JV players coming up with a lot of potential.”

Better to take a chance than to throw money away

The effort to halt construction of a performing arts facility in Ocean City’s convention center is the wrong fight at the wrong time.

Despite the increasing volume of this debate, the final bell on this battle rang last year, when the Maryland Stadium Authority agreed to pick up 50 percent of the auditorium’s construction cost and extended its agreement to cover half the operating cost of the convention center for the next 20 years.

These two commitments, along with an absence of protest or criticism at the time or even leading up to that point, gave the mayor and City Council all the justification they needed to proceed, which they did.

Arguing now that this is a bad idea ignores the work already done and the money spent to do it, all of which would be lost should the performing arts center’s op-

ponents prevail with their petition and succeed at referendum.

The performing arts center at least has a chance to recover some of this expense. Considering that the city budget is so tight that the City Council nearly went to the mat earlier this year to impose an ill-conceived paid parking scheme, it would be smarter at this juncture to bet on unknown odds than to back a guaranteed loser.

This is not to say that this facility will succeed as envisioned or that it will become the centerpiece of a cultural blossoming in the resort, as many of its most ardent supporters contend.

The 2010 study commissioned by the council to ascertain the feasibility of a performing arts center said as much by listing so many variables that no absolute determination of success or failure could be made.

What that study did say, however, is that a positive outcome will require appealing to a regional market in the offseason with high quality entertainment and lots of it, neither of which is assured.

In addition, the center’s revenues will have to offset whatever losses might occur in convention income because of the reduction in meeting space that resulted from its creation. Convention center officials also will have to find a way to accomodate the lodging industry’s convention bookings.

Can city officials and the performing arts center do this? Maybe. Will stopping the center and undoing work already done be a money loser? Yes, it will.

Even serious doubters have to admit, it is better to go with some kind of chance than to bet on no chance at all.

Why a key to the city means something editor’s notebook PHIL JACOBS ■ Editor

At Tuesday’s Ocean City Council mid-day work session, the presentation of the Key to the City plaque, usually just taken as a nice gesture and a formality, resonated with me.

Bill Bratten, a long-time Ocean City Public Works Construction manager, was honored for his service to the city, which included sleepless nights on hurricane watch. Mayor Rick Meehan read a proclamation in his honor and with his wife and children with him, Bratten received the key.

I sat thinking about how my late mother took a state secretarial job, not because she was necessarily great at what she did, but because a government job both she and my late father said, “was a safe job.” The benefits they told me was knowing that the job would always be there. I was a high school student when I heard those lines from my parents.

My mother, the late Bernice Jacobs, did work a full career for

the state. She worked in the state anatomic lab (morgue) for a neuropathologist. She would come home some evenings and describe to me the photographs of deceased motorcyclists, who decided to ride without a helmet.

Bernice Jacobs served her state for many years. She was diagnosed, however, with Multiple Sclerosis. In quick time she went from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair. Still, she got to work.

Her supervisor, a man named Dr. Richard Lindenberg went out of his way to make sure that she was able to get to work and be treated just like everyone else.

My Mom didn’t get the key to the state of Maryland. For her the office key was all she wanted. She prided herself in being the first arrival to work each morning. In her mind, she already had the key. My mother worked all the way until she had the use of only one hand, and Dr. Lindenberg made sure that she felt wanted.

That was more important than written evaluations or a kind word. The doctor redesigned the front office of the Baltimorebased office so that her wheel-

OC Mayor and Council get it right with long-time employees editor’s notebook chair could fit. When she passed away 29 years ago, in the Jewish tradition, we mourned for seven days. Dr. Lindenberg came to visit and pay his respects.

I have a friend named Blaine. He is a loyal, top of the line computer expert who works for the federal government. Blaine has one of those jobs where he can’t tell anyone what he does every day. FYI, I did call him the night the Navy Seals killed the terrorist Osama bin Laden and thanked him for what ever part, I suspect he had in the operation. I could “hear” him smile over the phone and say, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but thank you.”

In the past month, Blaine was furloughed because the people we voted into office in Washington D.C. did not come Continued from Page 36A

I have been and remain opposed to the switch from Eastern Daylight Time to Eastern Standard Time, which, when you think about it, isn’t standard at all, considering that there are more weeks of EDT than there are EST. But whether EDT (not to be confused with ED, which can be treated) should really be the standard time instead of EST (not to be confused with a city in the Republican of Cameroon) is not the point.

The whole purpose of this annual shift from one time-calculation to another is not to save energy, protect school children or to give farmers (who generally know when the sun is up and when it is not) an extra hour to work, but to give governments at all levels a week of so of being able to tell us we are either too early or too late for them to help us do something.

The time change also reminds us that not a single clock on the planet can be reset by the same method, requiring us to move hands, twist dials and figure out which buttons to press, thereby wasting another hour of our time.

I could go on about this, but time being what it is …

More on this next week, assuming that I haven’t fallen back and can’t get up.

a government. Sometimes I feel that those elected to Capitol Hill forget who put them in office in the first place. It concerns me at times that many elected officials have only worked in politics and have never been in the “get a job” world. It’s the Bill Brattens and Bernice Jacobs and Blaine (I can’t use his last name for security purposes), who not only deserve the keys to the city or state, they deserve to really get that if they put the work in efficiently and with loyalty, that they shouldn’t be punished for the failures of their Chief Executive or elected officials on both sides of the aisle.

Ocean City’s Mayor and Council get it right with its long-time employees. Mr. Bratten, this wasn’t just a photo op for some of us in attendance. It was a validation of how we all hope to be treated for the services we provided.

Oh, he will get there when a major media event infuses heightened awareness of a subject, while we all await our Commander in Chief to lead us.

Bill Bratten got up every day for some 30 years and served his city. Bratten and millions of hard working people like him dead from within and by example. He loved his job and his city. The attention given him at the City Council work session last Tuesday was important and appropriate. Mayor Meehan showed this employee that the city was grateful.

Dr. Lindenberg showed my mother that he was grateful to the very end of her life.

Value.

Giving people a reason to feel that their work was important and made a difference. Not that they were functionaries whose jobs start and stop at the whim of

through like the Dr. Lindenbergs or the Town of Ocean City. I know I’m painting with a broad brush here, but I read story after story of federal government workers who went without pay to the point that it threatened their abilities to stay current on mortgages, keep the lights turned on and bring home the mac and cheese instead of meat and potatoes. Blaine came over to our house for a Sabbath lunch and refused to say anything negative other than “at first, I got things done around the house, so it was okay. But when it got to the second week, I started to get worried.”

Again, I’ll use my broad brush. This debt ceiling has another vote coming up to fund the government, in mid-January.

We’ve learned already that the Obama Administration’s approval from the public and especially from those on Capitol Hill is wanting.

The State of Maryland has provided matching grant funds towards the completion of this project. A stoppage or delay of this construction project will cost the Town of Ocean City substantial monies. It is important the Town of Ocean City proceed with the issuance of the bonds to allow for this project to be completed. It is also important that Ocean City residents become familiar with the issues related to this project and the petition that is being circulated to oppose this bond issuance. Residents with questions on this issue should contact their City Council members.

Convention center expansion holds benefits

Editor, As the current President of the Ocean City Economic Development Committee (EDC), I am writing in support of the planned expansion of the Ocean City convention center with the addition of a Performing Arts Center. I am also writing to voice strong opposition to the organized efforts that are now in motion with the intent to delay the expansion and potentially stop it through a referendum. The EDC encourages Ocean City voters to NOT support this referendum.

The conceptual and planning stages for the addition of the Performing Arts Center were done in a methodical, open and inclusive manner. Those in favor of the project built their case by utilizing research and developing support form both Ocean City residents and the Ocean City business community. The current City Council and the preceding City Council both voted in support of the project, and our state legislators worked with the mayor and council to secure support from the Maryland Stadium Authority. There were many opportunities during the last five years for citizens or interested organizations to express their support or opposition.

The economic benefits and the future enjoyment our citizens will experience

from that Performing Arts Center in Ocean City are the reasons this project is supported by the Stadium Authority, the majority of our local elected officials, our business community and the residents who have shown their support for several years.

The Town of Ocean City holds elections every two years, giving voters ample opportunity to make changes and to help that Mayor and Council accountable for their decisions and actions. Moving decisions on important issues to referendum that have so clearly been vetted and have successfully moved through the political process only weakens our system. The Ocean City EDC supports the expansion of the convention center and the addition of the Performing Arts Center, as well as the political process that make Ocean City a great place to live and do business.

Supporters of Play It Safe Program thanked

Editor, On behalf of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee, we would like to thank the Ocean City community for their enduring support of our Play It Safe project. Each year thousands of recent high school graduates flock to Ocean City to celebrate that milestone in their lives. They truly drive the economy during that time of year before the summer season begins. Our committee works tirelessly and plans for a year to help entertain and occupy the young grads with wholesome, healthy activities. It is the purpose of the Play It Safe project to encourage these young adults to make informed, healthy choices and to have fun without the use of alcohol or other drugs.

In June 2014, we will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Play It Safe. This would never have been possible without the generosity of the Mayor and City Council, the Ocean City business community, the Worcester County Health Department, numerous service and civic organizations and many citizens. Each year, too, we have wonderful volunteers who help us chaperon the nearly 60

We are so very grateful to the Hall family for donating all of the food, for allowing us to keep the entire proceeds from the ticket sales of the dinner and for giving us the Kickoff Breakfast for our project every year.

Hospice helps patients focus on living

Editor, November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that Coastal Hospice and Palliative Care has

provided on the lower shore for more than 30 years.

Few people understand that hospice care helps patients and families focus on living. The hospice team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones.

The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.

Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s important and listen to what you say. They make your wishes the priority.

Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing home, assisted living facility or long-term care centers – wherever the patient is most comfortable. Hospice care is available to people of all ages, with any illness, regardless of their ability to pay. In fact, in our last fiscal year Coastal Hospice spent an unprecedented $776,979 for Charity Care. That’s roughly $250,000 more than in previous years. That figure includes caring for patients and families who had no means to pay, had needs beyond their insurance coverage or needed services for which we do not bill. In FY 13 we cared for 1,030 patients and their families. On their behalf, we thank the generous community who made this possible.

It is the mission of Coastal Hospice and Palliative Care to provide comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness. If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice and palliative care is right now.

A OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Helen DiLeonardi holds a plaque she received for her service as “Rosie the Riveter” during World War II.

A Rosie by any other name Ocean City’s Helen DiLeonardi recalls wartime experiences CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) More than 50 years ago, a small-town teen moved to Baltimore to become one of millions of “Rosie the Riveters” — women who abandoned traditional roles to fill factory jobs during World War II. Decades later, Helen Zabetakis DiLeonardi lives a calm life with her daughter in Ocean City, but recognizes the profound impact the move had on the rest of her life.

“You have to live through it to know it,” she said. “I’m proud of it. I’m very proud of it. But I’d never want my children to do it.”

DiLeonardi was fresh out of high school when she moved from the small mining town of Burgettstown, Pa. to Baltimore. She

needed money to send home to her family, which was hard hit, like most, by the Great Depression.

Moving to Baltimore, “you don’t know anybody. You don’t know where you’re going to sleep,” she said. But her sister Adeline had just arrived, too, and she was able to stay with her briefly while scop-

ing out her own place.

The days were long and the work was hard at Glenn L. Martin, where DiLeonardi’s job was to crawl into the narrow front of B-26 planes with her tools in hand and rivets in tow, she said.

She would shoot the rivets into See DILEONARDI on Page 3B

rts, crafts to fill convention center

Paintings, jewelry, woodwork among featured items CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) The Fallfest of Fine Arts and Craft Show is back, tomorrow and Sunday, Nov. 2-3, bringing around 75 regional artists to the Ocean City convention center, who will display and sell paintings, carvings, jewelry, woodwork and other fine art and crafts.

Each year, event organizers vet each vendor, ensuring that the goods for sale are handmade by the artist or crafter exhibiting them, Fallfest promoter Ami Hastings said.

Patrons “know that there’s going to be good quality things there that they’re not going to find in some of the other stores,” Hastings said.

“They’re looking for something different.”

In its 17th year, the event is still the same, though it is going by a new name this year, she said.

“It’s still the same show,” she said of what was called

the Fallfest of Fine Arts and Christmas Craft Expo. “It’s the same concept, the same quality.”

And quality is what sets the show apart, vendors agreed.

“The organizers of this show are exceptional. Every detail is handled both for the vendors and for the people that are coming for the arts and crafts,” said Charlene Herzins of the Bling Doctor, based in Princess Anne.

She and her husband will bring handmade jewelry pieces, including their signature “circle of life” piece, woven with small seed beads to resemble chainmail, and U.S. patent pending “wine bouquets,” ornate wrappings of silk and ribbons that wrap around wine glasses.

Local Kit Hanson of Sandyhook Art Glass Studio in Ocean Pines also had high praise for the show and it promoters.

“They are so well organized,” she said. “It’s a really good, profitable show.”

She will bring her stained glass and crystal with a seaside twist, featuring images See THOUSANDS on Page 4B

‘Boardwalk Elvis’ treated like king, gets new bike after crash CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) Local celebrity Norman Webb, known by many as “Boardwalk Elvis,” walked away from a car crash with a few bruised ribs on Oct. 20, but his electric bike faired far worse.

After local Irie Radio personality DJ Batman (a.k.a. Mike Beatty) read the news on Facebook, he took to the airwaves, raising $700 for a new bike with all the fixings — an extra battery and a $100 gift card to Continental Cycles in West Ocean City for other gear.

“In 25 minutes, we had everything we

DiLeonardi: I lived a life I don’t think anybody else has the plane, where a coworker called a bucketer would catch them from the outside.

After work, DiLeonardi’s escape from her heavy belt and the catcalls of her male colleagues was captaining a basketball team.

“I was finished when the war was done,” she said.

After the war, DiLeonardi met her husband Albert, a chemist, who had stayed home through WWII to help develop ammunition. They raised six children in the same town they’d spent their wartime years.

“We had a good life after that,” she said. “I married a wonderful guy.”

DiLeonardi’s primary post-war career was as a mom, although she was a substitute teacher for several years and took up salesmanship when her husband lost his job for 18 months. She went on to become the top sales person in the East Coast region for Stanley Home Products.

“When I worked, I worked,” she said.

In 2005, after her husband’s death, DiLeonardi moved to Ocean City with her daughter Kathy Panco. Though she’s lost track of her “Rosie” compatriots over the years, she still celebrates the role she played.

“I was proud. I didn’t have any regrets — I did my share,” she said.

During one Ocean City Air Show, the Thunderbird Pilots gave her a VIP pass and listened to her stories about working during the war. In 2010, she attended a show by the Ocean City Aviation Association in which a woman gave a monologue and told the story of Rosie.

That same year, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan named May 28, DiLeonardi’s birthday, Helen DiLeonardi Day in honor of her life and service as “Helen the Riveter.”

At age 90, revisiting her life from her daughter’s office on 120th Street, DiLeonardi still recognized the impact her move to Baltimore and role as Rosie had.

“I lived a life that I don’t think anybody else has, but I don’t have any regrets,” she said. “It ended up beautiful.”

needed and had to cut it off,” Batman said. “This town always, always comes through with something like this.”

His relationship with Webb dates back to the 1960s, when the radio personality and his group of friends took the then-budding Boardwalk star under their wings. Over the years, with the help of a boom box and lime green suit, Boardwalk Elvis was born.

“He deserves it (the new bike). He’s given a lot of people pleasure in this town,” Beatty said. “He’s a kind guy. He puts a smile on your face.”

Webb was excited to have a new ride.

“I appreciate what you all did,” he said, loading the bike into his brother’s truck. He plans to ride it once he’s outfitted with a helmet.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance.

Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities.

Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

Volunteers sought for first ‘Clean Sweep’ event Participants will cover areas from inlet to 17th Street, picking up trash CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) The Ocean City Development Corporation is hosting its first Ocean City Clean Sweep tomorrow, Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Volunteers will sweep the streets from the inlet to 17th Street, picking up trash left behind after the summer rush to help the city with its end-of-season cleanup.

“It’ll really help because off the Boardwalk, there is some trash to be picked up,” OCDC Executive Director Glenn Irwin said. “It should be a fun event.”

The OCDC is sponsoring the event, but reaching out to groups including the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, the Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association and the Chamber of Commerce to spread the word.

The city is providing gloves and trash bags for volunteers, and local businesses have donated prizes to be awarded for the most trash culled and the most unusual litter collected, Irwin said. The Candy Kitchen is giving a box of candy to

the person who fills a bucket with cigarette butts.

The OCDC is hoping to draw around 50 volunteers to the inaugural Clean Sweep, Irwin said.

There is a “need to follow up now that the season is completed,” he said, “particularly in the inner blocks of downtown Ocean City.”

He added that the Clean Sweep is a vehicle brining awareness of the impacts of trash and littering.

Business and property owners can also pitch in by cleaning up their properties.

There will be gloves and trash bags for volunteers at the Ocean City Clean Sweep. Volunteers get a free lunch after the cleanup and the first 50 will receive

free shirts.

To volunteer, call the OCDC at 410289-7739 or email kds@ocdc.org. Volunteers will meet at 108 Dorchester Street at 9 a.m. Saturday for the Clean Sweep.

Thousands expected to attend of seashells and beach scenes, to the 40th Street convention center.

Last year, the Fallfest show drew between 4,000 and 5,000 people and Hastings expects the same numbers this year.

There will be craft food such as roasted nuts and gourmet cheese for sale and the concession stand will be open during the show.

Continued from Page 1B

The Fallfest of Fine Arts and Craft Show runs tomorrow, Nov. 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission costs $5 for adults and is free for children under 12 years.

Visit www.ocshows.com/exhibitorlist-fallfest-of-fine-arts-and-craft-show to see a sample of vendors who will be at the show.

There are more than 600 members of the Art League. The exhibit will feature a variety of subject matter in all media including paintings, photography and three dimensional work. The juror for the show is artist Brooke Rogers, chair of the art department at Salisbury University. The exhibit is sponsored by the Elks Lodge 2645, one of the ALOC’s many community partners, and will feature appetizers provided by the Blue Ox Restaurant.

Over the past year, many talented artists have taught classes at the Center for the Arts. During the month of November, the galleria exhibit will feature works by instructors and their students.

This is the perfect opportunity not only for student artists to showcase what they have learned from their talented instructors, but also for the public to see the wide variety of classes that are available. Some of the featured artist/instructors are Kirk McBride, Skip Lawrence, Willie Crockett, Brooke Rogers, Barbara Doyle Schmid, Dolores Andrews and Tara Funk Grim.

The artists in residence for the month of November are ceramicists Robbie Johnson and Sarah Halcott. Johnson and Halcott started their artistic journey together in 2005. Since then, the two have created a home studio with multiple wheels, kilns, lots of hand building space for sculpture, a small glass torch, painting space and a music studio. They are constantly working on growing their home studio. The couple also shows their work in galleries including Art Institute and Gallery in Salisbury, Worcester County Arts Council in Berlin, and Bishop Stock in Snow Hill.

Johnson is a self-taught artist that had an interest in art from a young age.

Through practicing art in multiple mediums over the years, the experience retained has given him the ability to express his artistic visions. In 2007, he was hired at Salisbury University as the head 3D Studio Technician and has been

able to pursue his artistic vision with guidance from Salisbury educators.

Halcott has always been interested in art and began to pursue an artistic career after graduating from Salisbury University in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. She enrolled in ceramics classes her last year of school and fell in love with the medium. After graduating, Salisbury’s ceramic department took her under its wing as the ceramics technician. Since then she has devoted her time to a pursuit of ceramic knowledge. She is continually inspired by other artists’ work including John Cheer, Stephen Hill and most of all her husband.

Featured in the Member’s Spotlight for the month of November will be Mary Jane Hastings. She began her training by taking classes in the 1960’s, painting with accomplished local artists in Delaware while raising her children. An art history course at Salisbury University furthered her interest. She had professional training from the late Henry M. Progar, a wellknown Eastern Shore artist, at the building that was once the temporary headquarters of the Art League and now City Hall. His impasto knife technique using acrylics is used in most of her paintings. Other works are done using acrylics, gouache, and ink in a watercolor method.

Hastings has shown her award-winning paintings in many exhibits.

The annual “Starving Artist” Dinner that in previous years has kicked off the Holiday Exhibit has been rescheduled for Jan. 31 2014, as part of the Empty Bowl Project to be presented by the Art League and Diakonia. Volunteers will be recruited to help make ceramic bowls in the pottery studio of the Art Center, which will be sold at the Starving Artists dinner, to be accompanied by a simple dinner or soup and bread. This “Art with a Heart” effort will raise money for Diakonia’s food pantry and the Art League’s future programming.

Contact the ALOC to participate in making bowls.

The OC Center for the Arts which is run by the nonprofit, Art League of OC, is located on 94th Street, bayside. The galleries are open daily 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Silent auction to benefit OC Art League’s scholarship fund Artist Jordan Koehler has donated original painting, ‘For Five Hundred Years’ (Nov. 1, 2013) A silent auction to benefit the Art League of Ocean City’s scholarship fund is being held at the OC Center for the Arts on 94th Street.

Local artist, Jordan Koehler, has donated her original painting, “For Five Hundred Years,” to the Art League to raise funds for its scholarship program.

This large abstract painting is 58 inches by 79 inches. The minimum bid is $600 with minimum increments of $100. The auction will close on Dec. 31 at 4 p.m. Money generated will go directly to the Art League’s scholarship fund, which has been in existence since 1991. The scholarships benefit Worcester County residents wishing to pursue a degree in visual arts. This is the second silent auction benefitting the ALOC scholarship fund for 2013.

Koehler graduated from Salisbury University with a degree in Fine Arts.

She shares studio space with four other artists and professors. She believes that our world is made up of lines, from comet tails to D.N.A., and that everything is connected and sequential.

Painting allows Koehler to examine what can be asserted about anything through form, color, and line the way

CHINESE | JAPANESE | THAI 94TH ST + COASTAL HWY. BAYSIDE cadmium red looks against teal blue. In her studio, she pays particular attention to her instincts and searches for meaning in each project. For Koehler, art-making is not about reason or story telling; it is a way for her to translate her emotional experience into a visual one.

“Everything that moves, from a snail to lava flow, leaves a line, a trace of its passing,” she said. “A line can be fate, commitment, a fact, a relationship, a place.”

To place a bid, call the Art League of Ocean City at 410-524-9433 or e-mail info@artleagueofoceancity.org. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is open daily 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Coastal Hospice partners with We Honor Veterans group Will implement ongoing veteran-centered education for staff and volunteers (Nov. 1, 2013) To help provide care and support that reflects the important contributions made by U.S. veterans, Coastal Hospice has become a national partner of We Honor Veterans, a pioneering campaign developed by National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

As a We Honor Veterans partner, Coastal Hospice will implement ongoing veteran-centered education for their staff and volunteers to help improve the care they provide to the veterans they serve.

The We Honor Veterans campaign provides tiered recognition to organizations that demonstrate commitment to improving care for veterans. “Partners” can assess their ability to serve veterans and, using resources provided as part of the campaign, integrate best practices for providing end-of-life care to veterans

into their organization.

The nation is seeing many of the Veterans who served in World War II and Korea pass away, and the number of deaths of Vietnam veterans is beginning to rise. By recognizing the unique needs of our nation’s veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness, Coastal Hospice is better able to accompany and guide veterans and their families toward a more peaceful ending.

In cases where there might be specific needs related to the veteran’s military service, combat experience or other traumatic events, Coastal Hospice will find tools to help support those they are caring for.

“Through We Honor Veterans we are taking a giant step forward in helping hospice and palliative care providers understand and serve veterans at the end of life and work more effectively with VA medical facilities in their communities,” said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO president and CEO. “It is time that we step up, acquire the necessary skills and fulfill our mission to serve these men and women with the dignity they deserve.”

PUB OPEN 11 AM

(Nov. 1, 2013) The Fall Feast of St. Martin, a time to celebrate natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounty at the end of the agrarian year, will be held on the grounds of historic St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on Friday, Nov. 1.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features local foods from land and sea, wines and spirits and live music.

Jazz musician Dave Hollister from Annapolis will entertain.

The church will be open so visitors can see the progress being made in the continuing preservation and restoration both on the interior and exterior of the building. The Worcester County Garden Club will decorate

the church in the style of the period.

Construction on the brick building was begun in 1756 and finished in 1763. The brick exterior still appears today much as it did when construction was completed. Records from 1703 indicate there was an earlier frame building, a chapel of ease, at this location. St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church is listed on The National Register of Historic Places.

Tickets to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fall Feast of St. Martinâ&#x20AC;? cost $125 per person. Call 410-251-2849. The property is located at 11413 Worcester Highway, at the intersection of Route 113 and Racetrack Road.

Most important rule when making gnocchi–don’t over work dough FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Mix until just combined or it will become heavy DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) Open-mindedness is one of the fundamental aims of education, always elusive but eminently worth pursuing. Open-mindedness is also a key component to a chef’s success. When one pursues the art of cooking, a smorgasbord of possibilities is always at hand. As a result, openmindedness is relevant to situations involving difference; it is then the discerning palette must be open for exploration and revelation. On that note, let us turn to the chapter of gnocchi.

“The Encyclopedia of Pasta” by Oretta Zanini De Vita tells us that gnocchi is the primal pasta. In other words, it is the ancestor to all manners of noodles. Italy has bragging rights for its innovation. It is believed that when poverty struck, gnocchi was made with breadcrumbs. Potatoes came late in the game and were slow to gain acceptance. An early recipe for potato gnocchi, circa 1834, calls for just one part potato to three parts flour. It takes another century for

gnocchi to emerge as we know it today where potato is the primary ingredient.

Making homemade gnocchi is actually very simple; the uncertainty is a result of unfamiliarity. Basics start with the potato itself.

It is important to choose a potato that has a floury texture with minimum water content. Russet potatoes are the preferred choice. White, red, and Yukon potatoes are too waxy which causes the dough to be gummy.

Boil the potatoes with the skin on.

This will avoid the absorption of excess water and at the same time give the spuds more flavor. Make sure the potatoes are fresh, firm and free of dark spots.

The most important rule when making gnocchi - do not over work the dough. Remember, your goal is to mix until just combined. Otherwise, the dough will become heavy and literally turn into a “doughy“ mess.

Italian flour “00” grade is the ideal flour for gnocchi because it has been ground very finely. It is generally acceptable to substitute all-purpose flour for the Italian 00 flour. I would suggest sifting the all-purpose flour a few times before using. But if one wants to

try a new product, King Arthur has an American version of the Italian 00 flour. A 3 lb. bag can be purchased for $7.95 online.

Gnocchi can be paired with many sauces but are especially tasty with pesto. Butter and sage is another mouth-watering option. An alternative - crispy gnocchi tossed in lemon sauce.

The lemon adds freshness and lightness and expands its repertoire of possibilities. Buon Appetito!

Ingredients 1 pound Russet potatoes 3 large eggs finely grated zest of 2 1/2 lemons 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extravirgin olive oil 1 teaspoon dries thyme 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¾ cup all-purpose flour (sifted) ½ cup chicken stock 1 stick unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste fresh thyme for garnish 1. Place potatoes in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are tender. Drain

and return to pan. Wearing rubber gloves, immediately peel and cut potatoes into small pieces.

2. While the potatoes are still warm, pass them through a potato ricer onto a clean pasta board. Place a well in the center of the potatoes and sprinkle the flour over the potatoes. Place egg yolks, lemon zest, thyme, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt in the center of the well. Using a fork, stir added ingredients to the floured potato mixture. Gently knead until a dough is formed.

3. Very carefully roll the dough into four ¾-inch dowels. Cut dowels into 1-inch long pieces. (Optional - roll each piece against the back of the fork to make ridges) Cover with thin towel and set aside.

4. In a small sauce pan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 stick of butter, a few pieces at a time. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt.

Cover and remove from heat.

4. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi until they rise to the surface. Drain, toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and transfer to a baking sheet to cool. (The gnocchi has to cool for a few minutes before it can be sauteed for crispness).

6. In a large nonstick pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and cook ½ of the dumplings until a golden brown exterior is formed on one side. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat the process with the remaining gnocchi.

7. Reheat the sauce if necessary and pour it over the gnocchi. Garnish with fresh thyme and fresh ground pepper. * A potato ricer is a utensil used to process potatoes by forcing it through a sheet of small holes, which are typically the diameter of a grain of rice.

Elvandra Hutt, new clinical director for Coastal Hospice She will oversee all aspects of clinical care, provide leadership for managers (Nov. 1, 2013) Coastal Hospice & Palliative care has named Elvandra Hutt as the organization’s new clinical director.

“We are very excited that Elvandra will be joining our team,” said Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen. “She comes to us with a vast amount of experience in pediatrics, home health, Elvandra Hutt long term care, and she is familiar with hospice services.

happy to be part of this great organization,” Hutt said. “I believe in its mission to promote the dignity and quality of life for patients and families, and I welcome the opportunity to join the Coastal Hospice team.”

Hutt comes to Coastal Hospice after serving as Director of Nursing at Peninsula Regional Hospital’s Transitional Care Unit, run in partnership with Genesis Health Care Salisbury Center, where she started in 2006 as a unit manager.

Prior to Genesis, her healthcare experience included working for Deer’s Head Hospital and Peninsula Regional Medical Center. She holds a Master’s Degree in Nursing Administration from Wilmington University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Wilmington College. She resides in Princess Anne.

If eighty-something is today’s sixty, I wish my bod would cooperate. If only “they” were referring to mileage.

I still have nightmares of the cop who stopped me en route to OC 50 years ago. My hopes of him putting me in an isolation cell were immediately dashed. He took one look at the carload of kids and said, “Not to worry, young lady, I just stopped you because you lost something.” He handed me a couple of small bathing suits and took off like a bat outta hell. I meant to tell you, big guy, that “young lady” bit made my day.

Trust there are very few pushovers in that league. The after-bowling social gettogethers at the sponsors’ places of business are real door openers. There’ll

Back from the ashes, Waterman’s reopens After fire takes it down, restaurant returns with new menu, designer digs CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Nov. 1, 2013) A faulty electrical circuit set a fire that gutted Waterman’s Seafood Company on Route 50 and took firefighters almost four hours to extinguish on Oct. 5, 2012.

Just over a year later, the restaurant is hosting its re-launching party in an allnew building today, Friday, Nov. 1, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration.

“We’ve been here for 30 years,” coOwner Jamy Davy said. “We’re trying to set up for the next 30.”

Multiple factors conspire to slow housing recovery REAL ESTATE REPORT

(Nov. 1, 2013) Earlier this week Freddie Mac released its U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook for October showing that the federal government

terman’s building, the owners decided to start from scratch rather than rebuild within the old structure.

The new building is modernized with a central kitchen and décor Davy described as “bright, beachy… a modern fish house.” Its crowning piece, he said, is its banquet room.

The room can seat around 85 people and had already seen eight events from baby showers to reunions in Waterman’s first 15 days open, starting Oct. 10, Davy said.

The restaurant is also taking the opportunity to update its menu, though loyal customers can still find old favorites, he said.

“We wanted to make sure that when people came back… we had all the go-to items,” Davy said “(The) fried chicken’s still the same as it was the day it burned down.” The same goes for the crab cakes

and all-you-can-eat crab special, he said.

New items include seafood pastas, calamari and more fresh options, like fries cut in-house and fresh-caught fish.

Davy and co-owner Ross Bergy oversaw the rebuilding process themselves, lead by contractors from Littleton and

shutdown, debt ceiling issues, and the slowing economy — including the severely depressed level of new home construction — are slowing the housing recovery heading into the fourth quarter of the year.

“The housing recovery keeps chugging along despite a constant barrage of disruptions to the broader economy,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. “We’re likely going to see the housing recovery slow down, but not shut down, as we close out the rest of this year due to tight inventories in many markets, rising mortgage rates and slumping consumer confidence.

Fortunately, the housing recovery should continue to absorb the economic shocks in stride and improve next year.”

Highlights from the report include: • By the end of the year, expect mortgage rates to be around the 4.3 percent level, and head higher in 2014.

• Due to the government shutdown, we’ve revised down fourth quarter growth projections by 0.5 percent.

• Inventories remain tight at a five months’ supply as of September due to negative equity, a declining supply of distressed sales, and a severely depressed level of new construction.

• Expect the U.S. economy to add less than one million housing units in 2013 and around 1.15 million in 2014, significantly below normal levels.

• Construction employment is one to two million jobs below trend levels, which is roughly one year of non-farm payroll growth at current levels.

• Expect the ramping up of residential construction to take a while, and while economic growth will improve over the next year, the economy won’t be operating at full potential until sometime after 2015.

The decision to start fresh, rather than replace damaged parts of the old Waterman’s, came partly from the former structure itself. The building was three decades old and had additions that were less than practical, Davy said.

To raise a new building was to “reinvest in the future,” he said, boosting efficiency in the kitchen and creating a structure that the owners know well, which will help them if future problems arise.

Though the business lost part of its staff after a yearlong shutdown, some familiar faces are back both in the booths Continued from Page 1C

“The feedback on the interior’s been amazing,” Davy said. “A lot of the old faces have come back.”

“If you’ve come to Waterman’s for many years, it’s a must see,” he said.

“There’s nothing like it, really, in West Ocean City.”

The sale is subject to post-sale audit of the status of the loan with the loan servicer including, but not limited to, determination of whether the borrower entered into any repayment agreement, reinstated or paid off the loan prior to the sale. In any such event, this sale shall be null and void, and the Purchaser’s sole remedy, in law or equity, shall be the return of the deposit without interest. If purchaser fails to settle within 10 days of ratification, the Sub. Trustees may file a motion to resell the property. If Purchaser defaults under these terms, deposit shall be forfeited. The Sub. Trustees may then resell the property at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser. The defaulted purchaser shall not be entitled to any surplus proceeds resulting from said resale even if such surplus results from improvements to the property by said defaulted purchaser. If Sub. Trustees are unable to convey either insurable or marketable title, or if ratification of the sale is denied by the Circuit Court for any reason, the Purchaser’s sole remedy, at law or equity, is the return of the deposit without interest.
