MAY 26, 2016 BERLIN • NORTH WORCESTER COUNTY• OCEAN PINES FREE

(May 26, 2016) When the WorcesterCounty Warriors Against Opiate Addic-tion met for the first time in April, ap-proximately 50 people gathered in asmall space tucked inside the OceanPines Library.

The new group dedicated to raisingawareness of the growing heroic prob-lem in the area was formed by twomothers, who had seen their childrensuccumb to addiction.

They spent most of that initial assem-bly listening to stories, from survivorsand those who had lost loved ones, andfrom others who simply showed up withquestions and concerns, but with littlereal knowledge of the problem.

By Tuesday evening, during thegroup’s second meeting, things hadchanged. This session was held in alarger venue, television cameras were setin the room and attendance had easilytripled.

Instead of firsthand stories, the groupnow had guest speakers, including localpoliticians and law enforcement profes-sionals, educators and addiction special-ists.

Twenty minutes before the scheduledstart time, workers at the WorcesterCounty Worship Center in Berlin, wherethe meeting was moved to accommo-date the expected swell in attendance,were still pacing around the room, look-ing for places to put the overflow of peo-ple standing up in the back.

Organizers Heidi McNeely andJackie Ball could be seen near the frontgreeting guests, talking about the impor-tance of the issue. By all evidence, amovement had been born.

“This is our second meeting – that isunbelievable,” McNeely said. “When weheld our first meeting, we didn’t knowwhat to expect. We thought maybe, if wewere lucky, we’d get 15 people.”

McNeely said they had planned tohold the second meeting in the libraryuntil about two weeks ago, “when thiscaught fire.”

“Just look at this,” she said. “We criedwhen 50 people showed up. This is un-believable, and this just shows you how

very, very much we are each touched bythis epidemic and how we need to cometogether to fight to destroy this monsterin our community.

“A lot of people are angry. A lot ofpeople are frustrated … use that energythat we’re feeling to fight this,” she con-tinued. “You are all warriors, and this isthe first step in this battle.”

Ball said many in the room had beenaffected by opiate abuse.

“We all have friends who have beenaddicted. We’ve all been through thestruggles,” she said. “I think we all cameto the same conclusion a couple ofmonths ago, where enough is enough. Ithink that’s the feeling that everybodyhas here, so we’re going to take that en-ergy that we’re feeling and we’re goingto start to get informed and educate thepublic, and we’re going to come togetherand we’re going to try and do something.

“I don’t want to hear about one morechild who is dying,” Ball continued. “AndI’m sure nobody else here does either.”

Guest speakers included Del. MaryBeth Carozza, who said she was workingwith Gov. Larry Hogan, who put to-gether a heroin epidemic task force.

She invited a member from that

group, Dr. Michael Finegan, a psychol-ogist from Salisbury, to speak.

Finegan said one person dies every 19minutes in the United States because ofdrug overdoses. Recently, he said 11 peo-ple in Wicomico County overdosed dur-ing a five-day period.

Focusing on harm reduction andpeer support could help curb that prob-lem, he said.

“We need to use the energy and thesuffering in this room,” he said. “ If youwant to make a significant difference,speak up with courage.”

Worcester County State’s AttorneyBeau Oglesby said his office was focus-ing on punishing dealers, although headmitted police could not “incarcerateyour way out of this problem.”

Oglesby said he came to the meetingnot only as a prosecutor, but also as aparent. That would become a recurringtheme during the meeting.

“I am frightened,” he said. “I am ter-rified, because when I see videos or pic-tures of news articles … I see mydaughter and I see my son because thisdrug – this scourge – cannot discrimi-nate.”

Pocomoke City to redo District 1 election

(May 26, 2016) Pocomoke City willhold another election for District 1, thistime on paper ballots, at the library at301 Market Street next Tuesday from7 a.m.-7 p.m.

An unspecified mechanical failure isblamed for the failure of the previouselection held on April 5. Though 132

people were counted at the polls, only127 votes were counted. The city’sBoard of Election Supervisors did notcertify the results, though board chair-man John Haynie confirmed there wasa winner by 9 votes for the disputedmachine totals plus 6 votes from ab-sentee ballots.

Because the city charter is vague onthe topic of disputed election totals, of-ficials have been forced to make deci-sions on the fly.

The charter states, “The candidateor candidates for Councilman with thehighest number of votes in each gen-

eral election shall be declared electedas Councilman,” and requires electionsto be certified 12 hours from the timethe polls are closed. Little else is saidon the topic. In the interim, sittingcouncil members have said the charterneeds some work in this area.

While the dust was settling, a num-ber of issues were asked and answered,including who was allowed to vote, thenumber of candidates allowed andhow the election was to be conducted.

The first idea officials came up withwas a “re-vote” in which only thosewho participated in the April 5 election

would be able to participate. Severalorganizations, but the ACLU in partic-ular, had problems with this format,and the idea was dropped.

Every registered voter in District 1,generally the northernmost points oftown, is invited to participate as avoter. Only incumbent George Taskerand his opponent Sheila Nelson willappear on the ballot.

The term of the council memberelected on May 31 has been shortenedto coincide with the previous election’sdate of April 5. The winner will serve athree-year term from that date.

Officials rally behind Hardwireto support major expansion

(May 26, 2016) Pocomoke City,Worcester County and the state haveall joined to invest in Hardwire LLC,a firm that specializes in armor forvehicles, aircraft, personnel, boatsand structures, to the tune of about$100,000. But as chairman and CEOGeorge Tunis put it, this is just thebeginning.

“We’re going to end up investingaround $3 million” in support ofboth existing and new products,Tunis said.

As with many other businessesand industries on the lower shore,Hardwire’s business is cyclical, hesaid. It just hap-pens that Hardwireruns on a differentcycle than the realestate, tourist andagricultural mar-kets.

“The militarymarket is turningback on. We were focused on the ur-gent need in Iraq and Afghanistan.We would make products and shipthem right to the front lines,” Tunissaid.

With major military operations inthose areas either winding down orover, demand naturally decreased.Hardwire shifted to diversify productlines, making bulletproof white-boards, clipboards and “the lightestbody armor found anywhere,” Tunissaid.

The market has recovered some-what, Tunis said, and the company’sfocus shifted again. This time thecompany would be looking at domes-tic applications of their technology,taking wartime experience and ap-plying it to calmer times.

“We’ve found as we’ve gone alongit takes about a decade to launch anew product. One of the more excit-ing projects we’ve done relatively re-cently is currently in a pilot programin New York City,” Tunis said.

Hardwire’s bulletproof shieldingis being used on 60 cars of theNYPD’s fleet to test its effectivenessand utility.

“These 60 cars are in the worstcrime areas of the city — it’s just acoffee grinder for cars. They wreckthree per week,” Tunis said. “The cityeats them alive.”

Tunis said Hardwire is developingarmor that is quickly and easily de-ployed without tools or assistance.He said the goal is to deploy armorthat can be installed by one person inless than 10 minutes.

“Whether it’s the human body ora bridge, you need it to be lightweightand stop an attack. Weight and con-structability are always a factor. Weuse the Lego analogy often — webuild all the pieces and parts,” hesaid.

Those pieces and parts are formore than justshow. One problemwith older itera-tions, Tunis said, isdelamination —transparent por-tions of armor fog-ging up with age.Instead of replacing

an entire door, just the offendingpiece can be replaced.

“We’re working on ways to fix thatglass, which is a very big problem forthe Army and Marines, but we’rebursting at the seams. The diversityof our products takes a lot of floorspace. We’re expanding into the fa-cility on Broad Street to support a bigoperation,” he said.

Tunis said he’s often asked why hewould locate in Pocomoke City.

“Why not Pocomoke? We lovePocomoke City. Our business is na-tional and international, so it doesn’treally matter where we set up,” hesaid. “Pocomoke, as a town, is a gemin the rough.”

He said he sees it often.“We usually come in early and

often don’t leave until the sun goesdown. We work a lot — and some-times when I leave I see the sun setover the river and think I live in apost card. People tell me I live in apost card,” Tunis said.

Department of Justice auditclears Pocomoke City Police

(May 26, 2016) In the wake of thedismissal of former Police Chief KelvinSewell, a routine audit conducted bythe Department of Justice looking intohow particular grant funds were dis-persed became more than it was, ac-cording to City Manager/AttorneyErnie Crofoot.

Crofoot’s tenure began after theJuly firing of Sewell. The former CityManager of Pocomoke for 40 years,Russ Blake, retired shortly after thedismissal.

“Like so many things, it was misun-derstood. It was branded as a ‘DOJ in-

vestigation’ with the idea being we didsomething wrong,” Crofoot said. “Wecould have done some things better ordifferently, but this was not an inves-tigation.”

The letter, received by the townearlier this year, makes no mention ofSewell but does exonerate the townfrom any wrongdoing with regards toa Community Oriented Policing Serv-ices grant awarded in 2011 and in-tended to cover the cost of a singleofficer for three years.

“The COPS office has completed itsreview of this matter and has deter-mined that while the City should haverequested a grant award modification… to reflect actual salary and benefitscosts paid … the City’s actions sub-stantially complied with the Federalregulations, terms and conditions of

Berlin Council earmarks fundsfor downtown bikeways route

(May 26, 2016) A grant expendi-ture approved by the Berlin TownCouncil on Monday night could pavethe way to several major new bike-ways in the area. The town approved up to

$20,000 in funding to create apedestrian and biking path thatwould connect downtown Berlin toBerlin Falls Park on Old Ocean CityBoulevard, along the existing rail-road line. Part of that money would go to-

ward licensing fees for a right-of-way easement to use the area nearthe rail line, which is owned by theMaryland-Delaware Railroad Co. The railroad runs behind the

Berlin Fire Company and the libraryon Main Street to the former Tyson’sChicken plant that the town is con-verting into the Berlin Falls publicpark. “The ideal bikeway path, accord-

ing to Maryland Department ofTransportation Bikeways program,is a 10-foot surface with two-footclear both sides,” Planning DirectorDave Engelhart said on Monday.“We have plenty of clearance in mostareas of town to use.”Engelhart said the licensing

agreement would be needed to se-cure the area east of the railroadtracks, extending from the northerntown limits along Route 50, to thesouthern limits near WorcesterPreparatory School. He said the Maryland Bikeways

grant program that could pay for theproposed path would also cover thecost of a feasibility study, designwork and stormwater issues.To secure that money, however,

the town would need to put some ofits own dollars into the project. En-gelhart estimated the cost would beno more than $20,000. “I think that’s more than gener-

ous – I don’t think we’ll need any-where near that,” he said. “Most of itcould be in kind. In other words, ourwork hours put on it to file the grantapplication and then to go ahead and

put it out to bid.”Money could be available in Sep-

tember, and the town would have 24months to spend it. Engelhart esti-mated the total cost of the firstphase of the project to be about$30,000.“All the people at Maryland Bike-

ways have encouraged us to goahead and apply for the grant,” En-gelhart said. “Their funding is 80percent of costs if we’re in the prior-ity program, and it appears wewould be.“The actual construction money –

they said we have that too,” headded. “It’s conceivable we could getalmost all of it funded and have aconnected [downtown and BerlinFalls].”Each year, the town pays the rail-

road $15,000 to allow motorists todrive over the existing line. MayorGee Williams said the town recentlymet with John Sullivan, who handleslicensing for the train company, andwas hopeful they would grant theright of way. Building a biking path of this na-

ture adjacent to a rail line had notbeen done before in the state,Williams said, and the actual lengthof the path would be dependent onthe size of the grant. He estimated it would at least run

from Berlin Falls to Main Street, butsaid it could go further south, or bedone in phases. A second phase, for instance,

could run to Washington Street Ex-tended or as far south as EvansRoad, the southern border of thetown. Eventually, he hoped the pathwould also go to Saint Martin’sChurch in Showell, and to OceanPines, West Ocean City and As-sateague. “You’ve got to have a good idea

that will get broad support, then themoney comes. That’s true to manysituations and that’s what has appar-ently happened here,” Williams said. “How long this will take [to ex-

tend the path to neighboring towns]I don’t know, but I think its in-evitable,” he added.

the grant program,” the determinationletter reads. The letter was signed by Nakita

Miller, grant monitoring specialist,and Marsha Samuels Campbell, assis-tant director of the grant-monitoringprogram at the DOJ. In the application for the grant, the

letter reads, the town estimated theCOPS officer would make an entry-level salary of almost $41,000 andwould also be eligible for almost$30,000 worth of unspecified “fringebenefits.” Based on the audit, the officer was

instead paid $43,473 the first year,$53,212 the second and $57,024 thethird.

“The increased amount drawn forsalary costs by the City was offset by adecrease in the amount drawn for ap-proved fringe benefit costs,” the letterreads. “While the salary and fringebenefit amounts drawn differs fromthe amounts originally approved, bothare allowed under the grant programand did not exceed the grant awardtotal.”The auditors state that had the city

filed a modification request, it “wouldhave likely approved” it. “I asked the auditors if this action

was taken as the result of an investiga-tion,” Crofoot said. “They said it wasroutine, that a certain percentage ofgrants are audited each year. Ours wascoming to a close and it got audited.”

Auditors find no wrongdoingin Pocomoke Police incident

Unity, healing messages ofNelson’s District 1 campaign

(May 26, 2016) Sheila Nelson’scampaign to represent District 1 onthe Pocomoke City Council paints abroad picture of the town she grew upin and calls home.“The voters know me. They know

my family, and I can speak for all cit-izens,” she said. “One thing this townneeds is unity.”She contends that electing her to

replace George Tasker is one way tofoster that unity.“We know our town has been di-

versified and needs unity. There’s alot of anger and animosity, but it’snot all about what happened to theformer police chief,” she said. Water quality, she said, is a main

issue. Dilapidated homes are a mainissue. The controversy surroundingthe Winter Quarter Golf Course intown is another issue that needs ad-dressing. “We already know it doesn’t make

money, but children play there. I hadmy wedding reception there,” shesaid. Within the last month, the council

voted unanimously to keep the golfcourse open. “Roads are a concern, but that can

be put on the back burner. We needsomething for children to do. Thereare closed buildings that can be used— I don’t like seeing these things inPocomoke,” she said.What she does want is a revival.“Morally, spiritually and finan-

cially. I want people to come toPocomoke as a destination. I wantthem to stop and shop at places otherthan Wal-Mart,” she said. She wants these things on her own

terms.“I honestly request no one vote for

me because I’m African-American orif I’m a member of the fire depart-ment, I want people to vote for mebecause they want a change,” shesaid. The town is experiencing a flow of

negativity Nelson said she’s neverseen before. “There’s always room for im-

provement. I know Pocomoke likeMayor [Bruce] Morrison does, orlike [District 2 representative]Diane Downing does. The othersare doing a good job too, butthere’s always room to improve,”she said. It’s important to her the town

knows what it’s signing up for.“I’m not a ‘yes’ person. I’m not

going to concur if I think it’s notright,” she said. She said the town made a mistake

last year when it dismissed PoliceChief Kelvin Sewell.“I’ve met the new chief [William

Harden] a couple of times — he is aprofessional and he knows law en-forcement,” Nelson said. “I got upand spoke when the chief of policewas dismissed. This was a man ofvalue, a man of training, and a manof law enforcement. He gave 110 per-cent.”Nelson said she and others were

upset when the town didn’t providean explanation. Town officials havemaintained the dismissal is a person-nel issue that won’t be elaboratedupon. “No offense to anyone, but I think

Sewell was the man for Pocomoke,”she said. Nelson has worked at the Worces-

ter County Commission on Aging for33 years, beginning as a clerk/typistand is now the operations and riskmanager as well as managing the nu-trition programs.

Tasker targets biz, infrastructure

(May 26, 2016) District 1 incum-bent George Tasker thinks bolsteringPocomoke City’s downtown while

shoring up infrastruc-ture like roads andthe water supply arethe priorities thetown will face in thecoming years. Asked how the

town will achievethose goals, Taskersaid the council

should perform more media outreachand advertising, and continue to sup-port the work of Karah Lacey, thedowntown coordinator.“We’re training her more and

sending her off to different func-tions,” he said. That experience will help twofold,

he explained, by increasing the expo-sure of Pocomoke City to economicdevelopment professionals, and giv-ing Lacey additional experience in thedevelopment arena. Turned to internal affairs, Tasker

said infrastructure was an immediateand growing concern, with water de-

livery and road work the top priori-ties.“I have seen some towns with

roads worse than ours,” he said, butadded, “our road infrastructure isgoing to need drastic work.” “The pressing thing is water — we

need to figure outwhat we can do. I’dalso like to work tothe betterment ofour homes. Not somuch the inside, buton the outside. I’dlike to make ourhomes more impres-sive on the outside,”he said. Mainly, though,

Tasker said he’d liketo “keep on goingwith what I’ve been doing.”As for accomplishments during

the past four years on the council,Tasker said he was proud of movingthe police station from the “dilapi-dated” armory, and the town’s solarenergy deal. “It’s a little ‘out of sight out of

mind,’ but it’s supposed to save us $1million, and we have the option oftaking it over ourselves,” he said. Tasker also commented on the

town’s firing of its police chief almosta year ago. Tasker was not named in-dividually in the subsequent lawsuit,

though he is involved as a member ofthe council, and he did vote in favorof the chief’s ouster. “I looked at everything before the

decision was made, and based mychoice on the evidence presented. Istood for what I thought was right,”

he said. The case is on-

going. “I’m for the

whole city. I repre-sent District 1, butI’ve got my eye onthe whole city.There’s no smallinterest groupbacking me orpushing me. As forgrowth in the city, Iwant to see more. I

want to see the town grow and I be-lieve it can. There is some division intown, but I’m not the cause of that —I made a decision,” he said. “It’s notsomething I was looking to do orwanted to, but I am for the better-ment of Pocomoke and I always havebeen.”Tasker is a Pastor at the Abundant

Life Apostolic Church in PocomokeCity.“My heart beats for this city. I’m

proud of this city. I’m going to do thisuntil I’m called to do something else,”he said.

Sgt. Nate Passwaters, head of theWorcester County Drug Task Force, saidpolice saw a huge influx of heroin casesstarting in 2012.

“In my capacity, I’ve had this oppor-tunity to go to a lot of organization meet-ings, not just here in Worcester County,but also outside the county in otherstates,” he said. “By far, this is the biggestturnout I’ve ever seen.”

In the case of overdoses, he said po-lice were focused on tracking the sourceof the drugs.

“We’re not there to victimize – we’renot there to arrest – we’re there to gatherinformation, because knowledge ispower,” he said.

“Through the commitment [and]unified effort … we can get through thisas a community,” he continued. “I’veever seen this many people come to-gether. It’s very emotional.”

Steve Price, from the WorcesterCounty Board of Education, said he toowas overwhelmed by the turnout.

“We deal with the youth of our com-munity every day,” he said. “We’ve tried,over the years, to work very closely withthe health department, law enforce-ment, state’s attorney’s office, but thatchallenge has changed for us, and weunderstand that. We know we have to bedifferent.”

Price said he was also there as agrandparent.

“I have three grandsons in our schoolsystem, and I’m terrified too,” he said.“I’m here to promise our school systemis ready to partner with you, with thecommunity, the health department,whoever we have to partner with to en-sure ourselves that our children and fu-ture generations don’t go down thispath.”

Dave Baker, a coordinator with theWorcester County Health Department,spoke about the “Decisions Matter”campaign launched last August in part-nership with law enforcement. The cam-paign includes an awareness drive onbillboards, television and radio.

He said Worcester County had threedrug drop-off boxes that were open 24hours a day a the Snow Hill, Ocean Pinesand Ocean City police departments.

Kutresa Lankford, also from thehealth department, said the resourceswere also there for people strugglingwith addiction in the county, especiallyat the W.A.C.S. Center in West OceanCity, which offers an intensive outpa-tient care program as well as informa-tion for parents.

“Let’s say it’s just a parent who’s call-ing for a kid and they don’t know whereto start. I’m going to suggest that you callto the W.A.C.S. Center, 410-213-0202.We have a counselor every day who isgoing to be there to help you navigatetreatment, navigate options – someoneto talk to. A lot of people just need some-one to talk to,” she said.

While she admitted the health de-partment was not a “one-stop” or be-allsolution to the problem, she said it couldat least serve as a starting point in the

conversation. “Our goal is the same goal. Everyone

here wants to see people survive. Wewant people to live,” she said.

Dozens of Narcotics Anonymousgroups and other organizations in thearea that can help people struggling withdrug addiction can be found by visitingwww.ogana.org or www.na.org.

Jake Windsor, a peer support coun-selor with the health department, andCorey Hassett, from the Amethyst Re-covery Center, both spoke as former ad-dicts who are now working in therecovery field.

Windsor urged people to take advan-tage of the health department’s freeNaloxone training program, whichteaches people to administer the anti-overdose drug.

Free classes are held every fourthWednesday at the Ocean Pines Library,and every second and fourth Friday ofthe month at the Snow Hill Health De-partment.

“We encourage everyone to gettrained,” he said. “It’s basically an hourout of your life to get a prescription thatcould save a loved one.”

He said education was the most im-portant tool for the people who havefriends or family with addiction prob-lems, and that one of the few blessingsof the situation was that the old stigmasof drug addiction were falling away.

“No longer is it the person that is liv-ing under the bridge that you can say,‘Well, we’re not them,’” Windsor said.“Addiction knows no skin color, no reli-gious background, no income level. If af-fects all kinds.”

Hassett said his addiction “cultivateditself” in and around Ocean City.

“I worked in these restaurants –probably stole from a lot of these stores,”he said. “It’s pretty hard to be up here onstage telling you guys that. I lived a ter-rible life out there, but there is a possi-bility of recovery and a new way of life.”

Tuesday was Hassett’s 28th birthday– his second consecutive sober celebra-tion.

“What I want to do for this commu-nity is, if you have a loved one struggling,you yourself are struggling, you havequestions that you need answers to –I’ve been in those shoes,” he said. “Myparents were completely blind to treat-ment [and] had no idea there was an op-tion for their son, who was shootingheroin in their basement just two yearsago.”

He offered his phone number toeveryone in the room, and left cards atthe front desk.

McNeely said the next step for thegroup would be dividing into subcom-mittees, including education, awarenessand resources navigation, the latter ofwhich she would head up herself. Sheasked people to volunteer for one – or allfour – groups.

General “Warriors” meetings wouldalso continue, with the next one sched-uled for June 21 at the Worship Center.

“We have no rules at this point, wejust want to beat this,” she said. “We

the group going: stay informed and passinformation along, talk to a teen or anadolescent, lock up medications athome, “like” the group’s Facebook pageor leave an email, and get Naloxone orNarcan training.

Tiny signs combatcareless pet ownersin downtown Berlin

(May 26, 2016) Vigilante justice hashit the mean streets of Berlin, as oneor more persons has apparently takenmatters into his or her own hands, ral-lying back against a public scourge of– dog poo.

More specifically, that would be dogpoo that is left by delinquent pet own-ers on streets, in parking lots, sidewalksor in the otherwise pristine, emeraldgrass just outside the Atlantic Hotel.

To fight this thoughtlessness, oneor more of the vigilantes have taken itupon themselves to raise awareness ofthe problem by placing miniaturesigns in the offending material itselfwith a toothpick.

Each one carries a unique caption,for instance, “Don’t be a shrew / bendover / pick up your poo!” or “Hey scal-lywag, bring a bag!” or “Only a twopump chump leaves behind Fido’sdump / I bet you voted 4 Trump.”

The signs also include a uniform setof hashtags: #notcoolberlin, #americ-asstoolestsmalltown, #yousuckatlifeand #poopbombberlin.

Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downingsaid he was not aware of an ordinancein Berlin that required pet owners toclean up after their pets. He also was

not sure if the person or persons whoplaced the signs was in any kind of vi-olation.

“It’s not on my radar right now,” hesaid.

Berlin Memorial Day Parade returns, Monday

(May 26, 2016) One of Berlin’s old-est traditions returns Monday, as thecommunitywide Memorial Day cele-bration takes place on Flower Street.

The annual parade will begin at 8a.m. and will run from Stephen De-catur Middle School to Dr. WilliamHenry Park.

Dozens of school and communitygroups are scheduled to travel themile-long route, including car clubsand motorcycle groups, dance troopsand musical groups.

The origins of the annual celebra-tion date back to at least the middlepart of the last century. At one point,however, interest and other factorscaused the event to fade.

Then, about 24 years ago, localbusinessman Jesse Turner helpedbring Memorial Day back to FlowerStreet.

Turner, who served in the United

States Army, and owns and operatesBerlin Shoe Box & Shoe Repair onMain Street, is modest about his in-volvement in planning the massiveevent.

“It came back through the church atone time and they knew I knew how toorganize parades, so it just went fromthere,” he said. “Nobody else wantedto do it.”

A group of volunteers, led byTurner, generally start planning forthe parade in January, bringing to-gether dozens of civic, church andcommunity groups. Vendor Booths

will line Flower Street, with children’sactivities set on the grounds of themultipurpose building, and yard saletables set up inside.

The effect of having so many diversepeople and groups coming together fora single event, said Turner, makes theOld Fashioned Memorial Day feel likesomething of a homecoming.

“It’s almost like a family reunion,”he said. “We’ve got people scattered allover – Pennsylvania, New York – andthey all come home. We hope they allenjoy it and hope they come backagain next year.”

(May 26, 2016) In “Breakfast inthe Bronx,” circa 1962, one can see asmall bowl of raw eggs, presumablyabout to be scrambled, along with asaltshaker, a few cracked eggshellsand a single fork laid out against astark, yellow background. Is this a whimsical image, some-

what playful in it’s simplicity? Or isthis a lonesome breakfast of despair?If you asked the artist, one Don W.Grafer, he would probably tell youthat’s for the viewer to decide. Dozens of Grafer paintings hang in

the Ocean Pines Library. They are asampling of the works he has pro-duced over more than 50-years as anartist. The works range from thepainterly, somewhat Georgia O’Keefe-inspired abstractions of his recentoutput, to his decade-plus period pro-ducing action paintings, to the small,intimate realism he finished while liv-ing in New York City in the 1960s. Grafer, 84, said the retrospective

came about after a neighbor who vol-unteers for the library, Mary Doell-gast, inquired about his latestpaintings. “She liked what I was doing and I

had a show there once before [in2009], and she said, ‘How about an-other show up in the library?’ I said,‘fine,’” Grafer said. His wife, Susan, helped work out

some of the details and delivered sev-eral stacks of canvases last month.Grafer said he painted a great deal

during the 1960s, fresh out of collegeand working as a statistician for Stan-dard & Poor’s in the city, but set artaside after the children began to ar-rive. “After the third one, I couldn’t do

much of anything for about 20 years,”he said. He described those early works as

“very realistic anddetailed.”“I expanded to

abstracts eventu-ally,” he said. “Iliked doing themand I think they saymore than [repre-sentational] figures.It’s like looking atsomething and yousee a thing in theabstract, but youcan also see it in re-ality. I like to paintthe abstracts morenow.”When he retired

in the mid 1990s,his son Chris sur-prised him with agift certificate to anart supply store. Hetook the hint andhas been painting ever since. “I had looked at a lot of Pollocks,

Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keeffe, deKooning and thought there wassomething in there and I have to geton the bandwagon,” Grafer said. “Ipoured paint on canvases. I usedbrushes and used a lot of water tomove it around. And now I’m back touses brushes again.”His latest stylistic shift started in

last December and makes up nearlyhalf the work hanging in the retro-spective. Grafer has obviously beenbusy, painting feverishly from hishome in Ocean Pines. Before then,however, his output had slowed. “I got kicked in the ass when I fell

down and hurt my back, and my legwent dead on me. So, I couldn’t workthat much. But it’s still coming outnow,” he said. “You don’t know what you’re going

to paint when you start painting.Your head should be clear,” he con-

tinued. “The canvas will tell you whatto do. It will talk back to you. Thatsounds silly, but it’s true. Whenyou’re working, you can see what col-ors you need and how they can blendin with one another.”For viewers walking through the

more than five decades of his lifehanging on the walls of the library,Grafer simply said he hoped theyenjoy themselves, “whether it [af-fects] their head or heart or both.”“You can’t say exactly what art is

for people. Everybody is different,and different people will get differentimpressions of the work,” he said. Susan, who watched Don change

over the years while his work changedand evolved, has her own take. “I think it’s interesting for people

to see how art can change as a personchanges through life,” she said.“When you look in the small com-puter room in the library, there’s apainting that Don did of a ship that’s

very intricate with very fine lines. Hewould never do anything like thattoday. He wouldn’t have the patience.Now, he’s much more bold and loose. “You can see things through the

course of a whole life just by lookingat the paintings in the library,” sheadded.Grafer said he has no favorites in

his considerable collection, or amongthe many twists and turns hischameleonic painting career hastaken.“I enjoy everything I’ve done up to

now and I’m still enjoying it,” he said.“I like to play with paint. I love paint,in a way.”The exhibit will remain up in the

library, on 11107 Cathell Road,through the month of June. Graferalso keeps a studio in the WorcesterCounty Arts Council building indowntown Berlin, and is often onhand during 2nd Friday art strolls inthe town.

According to reports, another highschool student was looking for a parkingspot at approximately 7:50 a.m. and at-tempted to back up. He struck both stu-dents, who were airlifted to University ofMaryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore.

McCready suffered the most seriousinjuries, but by Monday afternoon, shewas posting information on Facebookabout her condition.

“I know there are lots of worried peo-ple out there. I personally am doing fine,however, I do have a punctured liver, afew broken bones in various places, andsome bruises and scrapes,” she said. “Ijust want to thank you all for the love,support and prayers. I am so blessed tohave such a great flow of support.”

Echols was released from the hospitalon Tuesday, while McCready remains atShock Trauma.

“I just hope that we both recoverquickly and that Meg gets discharged

from the hospital soon,” he said.McCready thanked the teachers and

crew who took care of her at the school,on the helicopter and at the hospital.

“I have gotten nothing but the besttreatment,” she said. “I thank God everyminute for the miracle he has done in mylife, and allowing me to have such a greatperson by my side through the wholething. I would also like to ask that thedriver not be given any ridicule or nega-tivity because this truly was an accidentand it is only right to forgive.”

Her parents, Pastor Daryl and TraciBlades McCready, wanted to address“the outpouring of love and support”from their SonRise Church family, otherchurches, school administrators, schoolstaff and the community.

“We do ask that the same be extendedto the driver and his family as well, asthis was an unfortunate accident andeveryone was left wounded,” the Mc-Creadys said. “Our family is praising Godfor the miracle He has performed in pro-tecting Meg and Carl from any more se-rious injuries.”

They also wanted to thank the fireand emergency service personnel fortheir diligence.

“We are a blessed community,” theMcCreadys said. “The outpouring of loveand support has been humbling andvery overwhelming. Thank you, sin-cerely.”

No quorum causes shortenedbudget and finance meeting

(May 26, 2016) A lack of a quorumabbreviated the May 18 meeting ofthe Ocean Pines Association Budgetand Finance Committee, althoughvirtually all of the items on theagenda were discussed.

Only two of the seven members —Pat Supik and Jim Beisler — could at-tend the morning meeting in the ad-ministration building. Board liaisonTom Terry, Controller Art Carmineand former director Marty Clarkealso attended.

Carmine said no preliminary re-port on the April financial perform-ance of the association was available,

Building theramp is part of it, but the fact is that youtook your time and sat with someone whoyou would probably have never meet, andyou showed them that you cared. To me,that’s as powerful as the ramp is.”During the meeting, Planning Direc-

tor Dave Engelhart said there was prece-dent in the town for waivingadministrative fees for nonprofits, citingthe Small Miracles group that made asimilar request in 2014.Brittingham noted that he would not

vote on the motion to grant the single ex-ception, because Shockley was his

“mother’s sister.”“She’s a little over 91 years old and …

she’s been in a hospital and nursinghome,” he said. “We thought she wouldnever get out of the nursing home. Sheis living independent and she’s trying toget that ramp not only to get to church,but she wants to drive her car.”An expanded motion to wave “any

and all” handicapped ramp fees, pro-posed by Councilmember Troy Purnell,passed unanimously. According to thelanguage, the planning director must askthe council to renew it each year. For more information on Chesapeake

Candidate Supik brings B&Frole to Ocean Pines board race

(May 26, 2016) During the last twobudget cycles, Pat Supik has chairedthe Ocean Pines Association Budgetand Finance Committee. Along withher other duties, she has overseen theannual weeklong meetings the advi-sory group holds on the financial plan,and helped pen a list of recommenda-tions to the directors.

Supik, 71, is now looking to move upa rung on the ladder of Ocean Pinespolitics, running for one of three posi-tions on the board of directors this Au-gust.

A Baltimore native with an account-ing background, she moved to the areain 2011 and has served on the budgetcommittee for three years, chairing thelast two.

Last year, she said Director TomTerry and former Director Pete Gom-sak starting encouraging her to run. Atthe time, she said she “just couldn’teven think about” it.

This year, however, Supik feltstrongly enough about the issues thatshe was convinced to enter the contest.

“I think that a board’s function, par-ticularly in this setting, is to set themission, vision, and long-term direc-tion for a community,” she said. “Idon’t think the board’s role or respon-sibility is in the management of a com-

munity. For that, the board hires amanager who manages the day-to-dayoperation.

“To me, it’s a clear distinction be-tween managing and being a boardmember,” she added.

In Ocean Pines, that distinction isoccasionally a matter of some debate.

“I’ve been fortunate to serve on sev-eral boards and I’ve been equally for-tunate to be involved in organizationswhich were discussing the very sametopic, which is not uncommon,” shesaid. “In many ways, managing is eas-ier for people than leading long term. Ithink, for a lot of people who havenever been in that setting they think,‘OK, I’m on the board, I run the place.’”

Supik said she appreciates the workthe Ocean Pines directors do, calling itmuch more time consuming thanmany similar directorial bodies. Thatsaid, she believes the current grouptends to get sidetracked on a singlesubject – namely, the general manager.

“I do think that, in many cases, onetopic, one issue, one item shades theday for many. And I think it’s criticalthat board members look at each issueindependent of the next,” she said.

“One of the major responsibilities ofthe board is to hire – and fire, if neces-sary – the manager of the organization.That should not be an all-consuming

task. You decide if you want this guy orwoman and then you hire [them],”Supik continued. “And while personal-ity is in everything you do, I think thejob should be measurable in perform-ance metrics. Then, once you’ve de-cided that, that’s all good, move on andplan for [the future].”She pointed to the recent vote by the

directors to extend the contract ofGeneral Manager Bob Thompson as aprime example.“To me, OK, that’s it. The board has

decided,” she said. “It was not a 4-3vote – it was a 6-1 vote. The board hasdecided, now move on. Evaluate againat the end of the year or whenever theterm that you’ve agreed to for evalua-tion, and if the manager is not per-

forming then youmake a decision basedon that. But, onceyou’ve decided that letit go and move ontobigger issues.”Since she bought a

home in Ocean Pines,about five years ago,Supik said she was de-

lighted that the association decided tobuild a new yacht club and addressneeds at the pools and on the golfcourse. Next, she said the board should

tackle the country club, “step up” theprocess for dealing with abandonedand “ill-cared-for” properties andcome to a decision on funding reservesbased on the recent Design Manage-ment Associates Inc. study. While living in Baltimore, Supik

was brought on as the treasurer of acommunity that “didn’t believe in re-serves” and came to a somewhat rudeawakening. “We needed a couple million dollars

worth of work and we had to borrowthe money, which people didn’t wantto do,” she said. “So, I think we need topay attention [to reserves]. Do I thinkwe need to be fully funded to the extentof the study? That’s probably not rea-sonable, but I do think we need to payattention to the reserves so that whenthe country club falls in on itself –which may happen – we have a solu-tion ready.”Supik knows a thing or two about

the conditions at the country club, hav-ing spent significant time there duringthe last two Februarys – with the heatoff – debating the budget. During thattime, many on the committee and onthe board could be seen sitting in thebuilding wearing long, winter coatsand wrapped in scarves while trying todiscuss the finer points of Ocean Pinesfinancials. “It was terrible. I think there’s mold

and dampness, and I think there aresignificant structural issues,” she said.While she admitted her opinion was

not unbending, she said she favors re-placing the county club rather than at-tempting to renovate it.“I do not have the expertise to say

whether that can be repaired or not,but from my high-level view of the sit-uation and knowing the age of thebuilding and the type of structure it is,I’m thinking we start [with repairs]and it’s going to be a nightmare,” shesaid.“The HVAC has got to be repaired

tomorrow – or yesterday,” she contin-ued. “That’s got to be a big ticket. Youdo that, and then next week the floor-ing and the roof probably need to beaddressed. I think if you do compo-nents, you’re going to have a really, re-ally long and ugly road.”For the most part, Supik is upbeat

and positive about the direction OceanPines is heading. She’s thrilled thebeach club bathrooms are getting amakeover, and called the annual park-ing passes there one of the best dealsin town.“We, as a family, use the beach club

a lot and that’s a super amenity,” shesaid. “When I tell people we have park-ing at the beach for $175 dollars a year,any day we want to go and that gets usfour people in the pool, they’re like, re-ally? I think it’s fantastic.”The same goes for her take on

Ocean Pines aquatics.“How can you beat sitting at the

yacht club pool in the afternoon havinga vodka and tonic at 5 o’clock? I justlove it,” she said. With a dozen candidates running

for just a handful of vacancies, Supiksaid voters should look to her “signifi-cant” experience on other boards andin leadership positions as a major sell-ing point.That includes taking part in the

Leadership Baltimore County pro-gram, which is restricted to just 40participants each year from business,government, nonprofit and educationsectors, and includes intensive trainingin economic development, publicsafety and the inner workings ofcounty and state government. “I’ve been on boards that have been

operating at a level that’s somewhatless than ideal and gone through theprocess of bringing that board toideal,” she said. “I think that’s huge inmy background.“I also think the fact that I’ve been

chair of the budget and finance com-mittee – that’s a singular role and I’vegone through, in detail, two budgetsand dealt with bylaws and resolu-tions,” she continued. “That familiaritywith our structure gives me a headstart. I think I could hit the groundrunning without needing much ramp-up time. “I can work with a very, very diverse

group of people, as I have on the fi-nance committee,” Supik said. “Wehad several members that were totallydivergent to my opinion and weworked through our issues. There wasnever a finance committee that be-came rancorous. We didn’t agree, butwe discussed and worked through ourissues and I think I could bring that tothe board.”

Exit interview: Pines Director Bill Cordwell(May 26, 2016) After serving on

the Ocean Pines Association Board ofDirectors for three years, Bill Cord-well has decided not to run for reelec-tion.

The outspoken director said hisdecision not seek a second termstems from his dislike for some cur-rent members, former members ofthe board and candidates.

“I will not run again because I justdon’t need to be around people who,in my opinion, are phony, deceitfuland just can’t tell the truth,” he said.“Therefore, I have no further desireto be associated with Marty Clarke,Dave Stevens, Jack Collins, SlobodanTrendic and their associates.”

During his 23-year career as a po-lice officer, Cordwell worked his wayup the ladder as a detective to be-come a commander.

He said he spent extensive time inthat role, “dealing with people whofor one reason or another couldn’t betruthful, and I was pretty good atwhat I did.”

During his first year on the board,Cordwell said the atmosphere therewas civil – upbeat, even. Thatchanged, he said, when Dave Stevenswas elected two years ago.

“It started with Stevens’ campaignfor the board, where he took out sev-

eral articles calling [then Board Pres-ident] Tom Terry deceitful for someinformation Terry had put out at themeetings,” Cordwell said. “It waslater found that Terry’s info was com-pletely correct and Stevens’ com-pletely false, but he ran the adsanyway.”

After winning the election, Stevenswas voted president of the board bythe other directors. According toCordwell, he often turned to Terry forhelp on sensitive issues.

“To Tom’s credit, he would do itfor the good of the community,”Cordwell said. “I would have proba-bly told Stevens to go you know whatin his hat, if he called me as manynames as he called Terry.”

Cordwell said the majority of therancor people see during OPA boardmeetings is caused by “a group ofpeople who think we can just get ridof a general manager or an employeeevery time they don’t do something aparticular person wants.”

“They have done this to every gen-eral manager in the 18 years I havebeen a property owner,” he said.“This isn’t a game. These are real peo-ple with families who are trying theirbest for the good of the community.”

That group believes that Thomp-son, in particular, is “out of control”and spends too much associationmoney on frivolous projects.

“I can’t talk about the previousGM’s, but this current one is far from‘out of control’ and doesn’t have thepower to spend,” Cordwell said. “Ex-cept for a very small amount, thespending comes from the board. Yetfor some unknown reason, peoplearound here think the general man-ager has the ability to spend largesums of money. That is just not true.”

Before he ran for the board, Cord-well said he only knew of Thompsonwas what he saw during public meet-ings.

“I didn’t know if I would get alongwith him or not,” he said. “I knew heseemed passionate and prepared, butI don’t make judgments until I havemore evidence to work with. I am alsonot easily impressed by folks.”

When he decided to run, he askedThompson to meet with him.

“I advised him that I was prettymuch a no-nonsense kind of guy, andI wanted to hear the truth at alltimes,” Cordwell said. “I really had noidea how big a job Ocean Pines was tomanage. This is not a little commu-nity association, but instead a $13million-a-year corporation with a lotof moving parts.

“I have come to admire BobThompson for his dedication to thecommunity and his work ethic andhave become impressed,” he contin-ued. “We disagree on things, but we

do them as adults He hasn’t taken avacation in years and works almostevery holiday and a lot of weekends.Despite what you may have heardfrom the media people who have runthe previous general managers out ofthe job, he is truly one of the hardestworking and honest people I havebeen around.”

Cordwell said he proudest achieve-ment on the board was helping toopen the new yacht club. He came inlate during the process, but was in-volved in the vote to purchase addi-tional equipment for the secondkitchen to help with banquet eventson the second floor.

“There was a lot of opposition, andthe GM took a lot of heat for trying tore-purpose old kitchen equipment,but that was typical Ocean Pines try-ing to save money,” Cordwell said.

Detractors claimed the additionwould drive up labor costs, and in-stead proposed using a dumbwaiterto get the food upstairs, four plates ata time.

“The couple getting married wouldhave probably been on their honey-moon before the last of their guests ata 200-person wedding were served,”Cordwell said. “Thank goodness, wewere a little smarter than that.”

Extending Thompson’s contractfor three years, Cordwell said, was

also a big accomplishment. “He has his detractors – the usual

suspects who did the same to everygeneral manager before – but look athow well this community has done fi-nancially over the last few years andthere is no disputing how well he andthose that work under his leadershiphas done,” he said. “Aquatics, thathas lost a lot of money since the poolwas covered, had its best year yet[and] the yacht club had a good yearand is getting better financially everyyear.

“Look at the financials over the lastcouple years and take out ‘bad debt,’which the general manager has zerocontrol over, and our overall opera-tions have had really good years fi-nancially, especially our amenities,”he added. “And having success withour amenities, keeps our assessmentsdown.”

His biggest regret, naturally as aformer police officer, is not pushingharder to improve the police facilitiesin Ocean Pines.

“I tried, but we would rather reno-vate bathrooms at a building used forthree months so someone can usethat as their campaign speech than

take care of the people that take careof us,” Cordwell said. “We seem totake our police for granted, but weweren’t just called the ‘safest city inMaryland’ by accident. We don’t havea lot of police, but the ones we dohave do a great job in keeping us safe.

“However, I believe they are work-ing in an unsafe atmosphere,” Cord-well continued. “The building theyare in is probablyabout, in my opin-ion, one third thesize it needs to be.And the location isabout as bad as itcan get. Whenthey have anemergency calland respond fromtheir building,they have to govery slow and tryto watch out forthe children and folks going back andforth between the White Horse Parkand the community center.

“This delays the emergency re-sponse and puts the person havingthe emergency in jeopardy, especiallywhen the EMS/FIRE is not available.With the amount of cardiac patients

we have in the community, any delayputs that victim in danger.”

Cordwell said the “usual suspects”have stood in the way of improvingthat facility, or building a new one.

“The general manager has pro-posed building a new building out onRoute 589, but we won’t do that be-cause 1) he proposed it and 2) it costsmoney,” Cordwell said. “At first I was

against this idea,but the more Ithought about itand the more Ihear about crimebeing around usand getting worse,I have come to be-lieve that it is ac-tually the bestplace for it. Thepolice can re-spond to both thenorth and the

south sections quickly. And when thederelicts from Salisbury get off Route90 or the ones from Selbyville –[which has a] very high crime rate –come down Route 589 going to thecasino, I want the first thing they seeis that Ocean Pines is protected by itsown police department.

“We have an older population andwe should try to protect them no mat-ter the cost. We pay our assessmentsand we should expect to do thingsthat make sense instead of things thatjust save a couple bucks,” he added.

He hopes the next batch of direc-tors – three will be elected to theseven-member panel in August – fo-cuses on moving the community for-ward, rather than working towardsousting Thompson.

“I hope we get fresh faces and newideas,” Cordwell said. “We only haveone more year with Stevens, and ifCollins doesn’t get back in then a lotof the animosity, in my opinion, willgo away. Let’s start new and clean theslate.

“We have some qualified individu-als who have stepped up, and I hopethe residents will see them for whatthey are and elect some new faces,”he added. “And maybe Mr. Stevenswill do what is right for the commu-nity and resign this year and givesomeone new a shot. I gave my fouryears, to the community, and it’s timefor someone new.”

His advice for the 12 candidatesrunning this year was to talk to asmany sitting directors as possible –especially Terry.

“Terry has been on the board forsix years, with four as president,”Cordwell said. “He knows the ins andouts of the community better than al-most everyone. Speak to Pete Gom-sak, the assistant treasurer. Pete hasforgotten more about Ocean Pines fi-nances than most of the rest of boardwill ever know.

“But most of all, sit down with thegeneral manager and take a couplehours of his time to find out what isreally going on,” he added. “Anybodywho doesn’t take the time to sit downand speak to the GM is, to me, not aserious candidate.

“Also, open your eyes and ears andgather as much information as possi-ble and make a decision that benefitsthe community and not a couple peo-ple’s vendettas. Stay independent.Stay true to yourself.

“Most of all, be positive. We havea great community led by a terrificgeneral manager and dedicated em-ployees and if we can finally get rid ofthe negative forces who for years havebeen allowed to ignore our assets andmake excuses for it, we can be evenbetter and protect our property val-ues.

“I want to thank the folks whohave supported me and supportedour community,” Cordwell said.

be prepared for the unexpected. “Do the vessel exam because I’m

going to guarantee with many ofthem something’s wrong,” Cohensaid. “It’s a free service. Come ondown and take advantage of it.”While many owners who get their

boats inspected feel confidently incompliance, Cohen said expiredflares, out-of-date fire extinguishersand malfunctioning navigation lightsare often discovered. He said somepeople will try to slight the impor-tance of navigation lights, claimingthey only go out during the day.“There’s a second issue: you have

to have them when the visibility is re-duced,” he said. “If fog comes in, raincomes in, you have to be able to putthem on.”From his experience, Cohen said

owners of high-priced boats generallybelieve they’ll pass the inspectioneasily. In some instances, what wasup to snuff at home could have beencompromised while trailering andtraveling.“You drive your boat from New York

to Ocean City, you’ve got a chance thatsomething came loose,” he said. “You’vegot to check it down here before you putit in the water and take off.”

By contrast, Cohen said manysmaller boat owners are proactivewith maintenance. “I call them professional fisher-

man — they’re not doing it for a livingthey’re just out here everyday,” hesaid. “They take care of their stuff be-cause they know they can’t afford to

have their engine cut out.”The Coast Guard Auxiliary provides

free safety inspections every Saturdayand Sunday morning throughout thesummer at the West Ocean City ramp.They will also hold the Maryland BasicBoating Course three times duringboth June and July at the Ocean Pines

Library. For more information, con-tact Cohen at 410-935-4807 or [email protected]. “Everybody believes that it’s not

going to happen to me. You can’t con-vince them,” he said. “Even if youhave boated all of your life, you maylearn something.”

Berlin bids adieu totwo int’l professionals

(May 26, 2016) With just a fewdays of their month-long stay re-maining, Crisanta Rodriguez and Za-likha Wan Zaharuddin providedwrap-up reports, and warm good-byes, to the Berlin Mayor and Councilon Monday evening.

Zaharuddin is an environmentaleducation program officer for theMalaysian Nature Society, and Ro-driguez is the assistant regional direc-tor at the department of theenvironment and natural resources inthe Philippines.

They spent time in town as part ofa U.S. State Department program tolearn how Berlin addressed itsstormwater issues, with an The inter-national professionals were alsoasked to use their expertise to advisethe town on several environmental is-sues.

Rodriguez thanked town staffmembers and others who took themon local tours and even cooked din-ner.

“Everyone had been very support-ive, very welcoming and very warm –except for weather,” she said.

For nearly 40 minutes, Zaharud-din and Rodriguez briefed the councilon three reports, told mostly in Pow-

erPoint, detailingan environmentaleducation programaimed at children,suggesting sustain-able, environmen-tally friendlyattractions forBerlin Falls park,and going over anecotourism planfor the town.

They also of-fered a list on the“eight reasons byBerlin is so cool”and showed off anumber of candidphotographs fromtheir stay, from trips to local muse-ums to an Eastern Shore crab feast.

The only thing they missed werethe wild ponies of Assateague, whoproved too elusive. Instead, they Pho-toshopped themselves into a pictureof horses on the beach that theyfound on the Internet.

“It’s very inspiring, the hard workthat you put into making this town,”Rodriguez said. “Hopefully we hearfrom you again … from bottom of ourhearts we would like to thank every-one in the town of Berlin for havingus.”

Berlin Mayor Gee Williams said hehoped both young women would al-ways think of the town as a “homeaway from home.”

“Besides all the practical thingsand all the educational, environmen-tal and cultural things that we shared,one of most heartwarming and en-couraging things about your visit [is

that] it reminds us that there are re-ally good people all over the world,”he said. “It’s something we need to bereminded of.

“This was a great, great experiencefor us as well,” he added. “You obvi-ously both are committed to takingcare of our natural world, and that istruly a calling that is universal.”

Please send all letters and other editorial submissions to [email protected] by 5 p.m. Monday.

Now that election season has begun in Ocean Pines, candi-dates, their supporters and their detractors should be aware ofhow the letters to the editor policies work at this paper.

Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue, but a number of peopleover the years have been irked when the letters they sent forpublication inexplicably never made it into print.

Well, maybe not inexplicably. The paper publishes its letterspolicy before every election and has been doing that for years.It all stems from a campaign incident, when our papers wereflooded with dozens of similarly written letters from residentsendorsing a particular candidate.

Suspecting a political game was afoot to monopolize our let-ters space, none of those letters ran and the policy was devel-oped that no letters endorsing or criticizing any candidate wouldbe run in these papers.

This doesn’t mean that issues can’t be discussed in this space,or that observations can’t be made or that criticisms can’t be of-fered. We would be delighted to publish such letters as long asthey are signed and have provided some means — a phonenumber, for instance — of verifying the identity of the author.

All we ask is that these comments aren’t about a specific can-didate or candidates.

Should anyone feel absolutely compelled to endorse some-one or expound on someone’s unfitness for election, we recom-mend buying advertising space.

While that sounds somewhat mercenary on our part, that’show such things work at all levels of the media business, fromsmall town operations like ours, to national media.

The letters to the editor space exists to promote an exchangeof ideas in the community, not to further anyone’s electionagenda.

Pines GM pitchesin during collectionEditor,

Just a short letter aboutOPA GM Bob Thompson.Our members read and heara lot of drivel about the abil-ities and leadership Bob dis-plays, so I thought theyshould hear this:

Last Saturday was the dayof OPA’s annual collection offurniture, bedding, etc. fromlot owner’s homes. Thisevent in itself is commend-able, as most folks have noway to dispose of this un-wanted, heavy junk. Satur-day was a very rainy day,and I was pleased to see Mr.Thompson on the truck andhelping the Public Workscrew lift heavy furniture intothe truck. I watched as sev-eral homeowners yelledtheir thanks and cheers toBob.

Mr. Thompson does agreat many good things forOcean Pines, and clearly iswilling to go the extra mile toserve us.

Stop bullying in U.S., local politicsEditor,

In the past few years themedia has given a substan-tial amount of attention to

different types of bullying.Children in school are re-minded to respect their fel-low classmates and not tobelittle or tease one anotherabout size, ability, or appear-ance. Parents are remindedthat if they try to bully refer-ees when they question theirdecisions, they are subject tobeing removed from a game.

Drivers who tailgate aretechnically bullying by tryingto assert their importanceand power over the driver infront of them. Even bumperstickers can send negativebullying messages…which isinsulting to tourists whospend money at businessesin the community.

A couple of years ago I ac-tually saw a bumper stickerthat said, “My child beat upyour honor student at_____Middle School.” Thatparent certainly isn’t send-ing a positive message to hisown child as well as to any-one else who reads that.

There are endless exam-ples of cyber bullying onFacebook, Twitter, and otherforms of social media. Anapp called After Schoolstarted out as a chat roomfor teens, but it eventuallyturned into a bullying site.Even though it is not an ac-tual physical confrontation,apparently some users of so-cial media feel that it is their

prerogative to belittle orbully the person who made acomment with which they donot agree.

Not every opinion that aperson may voice deservesor commands a rebuttal. Afriend of mine used to tellher two daughters, “You canthink anything you want, butthat doesn’t give you theright to say it.”

Many parents try to con-trol what their children doon the computer, which is inthe child’s best interests, butsome parents have also beenknown to bully other parentson Facebook about a conflictthat arose in a sport or class-room situation, and, insteadof trying to resolve it pri-vately, resort to publicizingthe problem to the entirecommunity while trying toget other parents to takesides.

That used to be called“throwing your weightaround.” Whatever youchoose to call it, it is adultbullying.

Perhaps the place thatbullying is most prevalenteveryday is what happenspolitically on international,national, state, and local lev-els. Russia’s presence in theUkraine is an example of onecountry bullying another.North Korea’s threatening

South Korea and other nations withmissile tests and hydrogen bombs isbullying.

Threats by ISIS and Al Qaedaagainst other nations and religionsare examples of bullying. Nationally,it is rare to see politicians work“across the aisle” anymore. The Con-gress and the Senate bully the Presi-dent. Our local representative, AndyHarris, has a reputation for voting“No” or taking the opposite side onalmost every issue. Surely, theremust be an occasional bill, which de-serves a positive vote. Maryland is agreat state. We deserve a better rep-resentative in Congress than AndyHarris.

Politicians are elected to serve.When there is name-calling, grudge

carrying, and perpetual obfuscating,very little gets accomplished. Mostparents wouldn’t tolerate that behav-ior in their children, and yet, it seemsto be “the new normal” in the currentpolitical scene. Donald Trump is ex-hibiting the very kind of behaviorthat most parents and teachers try toget their children or students toavoid – encouraging physical con-frontation, bullying and belittlingothers. This is a great country; wehave our problems, but electing abully and a demagogue will not solvethem. America deserves better thanDonald Trump.

Locally, officials in the OceanPines Association need to be re-minded that they were also elected toserve their constituency, solve prob-lems, and work to improve life for

everyone in the Ocean Pines commu-nity – not to pursue their personalagendas or vendettas. There are a fewboard members in the OPA who needto start practicing civility.

They held the entire Ocean Pinescommunity hostage for three or fouryears by insisting that Sandpiper En-ergy pay a franchise fee to the OPA inorder to convert the community tonatural gas. Ocean Pines has been by-passed and delayed due to bullyingbehavior by some members of theOPA for no good reason other thanstubbornness. Sandpiper is a publicutility offering a service for whichconsumers must pay.

OPA board members need to bereminded that they were elected tomake this community a better placeto live and to solve problems as theyarise. They were not elected to man-age the day-to-day operations inOcean Pines. That is the job of thegeneral manager.

Lately, some of the argumentshave deteriorated to physical threatsor insisting on having the last wordon every issue. These individuals arenot being good examples of commu-nity leaders and are not doing the jobthat they were elected to do. Insultingeach other only perpetuates conflict.This is a great place to live. The com-munity deserves better behavior andleadership from the OP board.

There are issues and problemsthat need to be addressed, but thatmust be done in an intelligent andadult manner. Electing bullies to theOPA association does not solve prob-lems or get things done. Ocean Pinesresidents should carefully select threeindividuals in the next election whowill serve the community in a positiveand intelligent manner. We deservebetter behavior from our elected offi-cials.

Food Television: The nemesis toany good chef, and the bastion of mis-information for two generations of

viewers andconnoisseurs offine dining. Thesanctimoniousairs of hosts onthe now-manyfood channelsdrives me in-sane, but wehave to live withit as it is now apart of our cul-ture.To be fair, I

will give accolades to one cookingshow and that is “Master Chef Jr.,”where young (and sometimes veryyoung) kids try their hand in thekitchen while getting mentored byworld-class chefs. I like this show be-cause the hosts seem to be a bit morereal and personable than in the othershows, but don’t even get me startedon the silly shows like “Hell’sKitchen,” “Chopped,” or any of theother myriad shows that are muchmore about entertainment than ac-tual cooking.Recently I was flipping through

the channels when I came across an“editorial” by one of the main hostsfor Food TV who was lecturing us, thelowly viewers, on using too muchtruffle salt and truffle oil on our food.While I understand his tirade wasaimed at people who put it on every-thing, I couldn’t help but ask myselfthe question: “Weren’t you the oneswho told the viewers to start usingthe blasted stuff five or six yearsago?”Like any programming, when an

item or subject is trendy or useful, achannel will saturate the day’s, week’sand month’s shows with little nuggetsthat help to promote said topic. Now,in hindsight, we’re being lecturedthat we’re using it too much. Well, Isay poppycock to you, good sir.I will continue to use truffle oil and

truffle salt as I have for well over adecade. One of the joys of being inthis business is having exposure toreally cool ingredients and accou-trements before they are trendy orpopular. Working with specialty foodbrokers gives us an edge in a riskybusiness where we are simply tryingto stay one step ahead of our telly-ed-ucated guests.But, as this simple editorial shows

us, now it could be dangerous for achef to use dreaded truffle oil or truf-fle salt for fear of being “simple” or“indulgent” because of the airtimegiven this travesty by Food TV. Thisis the danger that I have writtenabout before; the over-saturation of

information in food-ies the worldwidewho go out and pro-fess their newfoundknowledge to anychef, waiter or man-ager who will listen.Truth be told, wecan’t help but to lis-ten to customerswhen they come into our restaurantsand tell us that ourshrimp salad iswrong, wrong,wrong because ofwhat they saw on“The Barefoot Con-tessa” on Wednes-day night. Yearsago, I had a guesttell me that mycream of crab soupwas “OK,” but itwould have beenbetter if I had sim-ply emulsified mycelery a bit more.Ten years later, I’mstill scratching myhead on that one.Do I sound bit-

ter? Maybe I am, alittle. But more tothe point, I’m an-noyed that pro-gramming hasreached a level thatit is now dictatingwhat ingredientspeople shall andshall not use, and ifyou don’t think thatfood programmingis that powerful, justconsider the mil-lions of dollars andcountless resourcesthat are beingpoured into the industry on an an-nual basis.No, Ted, I will not stop using truf-

fle oil or truffle salt. In fact, I’m goingto fly in the face of your superior rea-soning and share a simple requestthat will make you spin in yourthrone. I may even call it “TruffleDay” on which everyone will put truf-fle salt and/or truffle oil on every-thing that they eat for an entire dayjust to spite your editorial, but fortoday we’ll start with tater tots.I have had these tater tots in Bal-

timore, Kansas City, Orlando, Re-hoboth and Bethany, Ocean City, St.Louis and I’m sure I’ll find them inPhoenix in July. They are delicious,not only because they bring backnostalgic memories of the thirdgrade, but because the manufac-tured flakes of potato leave us with

crispy outsides, soft and steaminginsides and a drizzle of the potenttruffle and olive oil accentuated withParmigiano-Reggiano atop thewhole mess.Yes, I will continue to use truffle

salt, and no amount of spice sham-ing that you can muster will stop me.“Vive la sel de Truffe!” is my call toarms today, next week, and forever.

Truffle TotsEnough for 4 for a starter1 bag frozen tater tots1/4 cup Extra Virgin olive oilTruffle salt, as needed1 cup Shredded Parmigiano-Reg-giano cheeseIf you are lucky (or unhealthy)

enough to have a deep fryer at yourhouse, drop the frozen tater tots for a

few minutes until they are cookedthroughout and crunchy on the out-side. This is the preferred method formaking these little morsels of crispyjoy. Otherwise, continue to step 2If you do not have a fryer, follow

the producer’s instructions on thetater tot bag and bake until cookedand crispyImmediately drizzle the tots with

olive oil and sprinkle generously withthe truffle saltPlace in a bowl, top with the

Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve witha generous stack of napkins
