BERLIN—The Town of Berlin’s first
ever Main Street Coordinator will have a
rare opportunity to help define the new,

Main Street Program.
With Houston focusing her attention
on marketing businesses along the Main
Street district, Day said he would have
more time to expand his economic development activities to commercial business
sectors beyond downtown.
Even as she was still cleaning off her desk
in her new office in the Visitor Center, Houston agreed to a quick interview. Her excite-

OCEAN PINES— Salisbury University’s Business, Economic, and Community Outreach Network (BEACON)
program could provide high-tech help
to the Ocean Pines Association as it
prepares to create its 10-year comprehensive plan by compiling and analyzing computer data to determine the
cost benefits of planned facilities.
During the Dec. 4 work session,
members of the Ocean Pines Board of
Directors were scheduled to hear a presentation from the Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee featuring Dr.
Memo Diriker, founding director of the
university’s BEACON program.
According to the program’s website,
the program provides public and private sector decision makers business,
economic, workforce and community
development consulting and assistance services. It said the program
uses “targeted outreach programs, applied research, trend and scenario
analyses, demand forecasting, strategic planning, feasibility studies, and
modeling for resource allocation,
process improvement, and economic
impact studies.”
Committee member Gail Blazer
noted that Diriker has experience
helping communities and organizations match planned projects with
grants for which they could be eligible
to apply.

Blazer said Diriker’s software program could be a way to use economics,
projected growth and demographic
data to scientifically help the OPA set
its future goals based on projected
trends.
For example, during the November
board meeting General Manager Bob
Thompson suggested that one longrange goal the OPA might consider
was a plan to reconfigure the Community Center’s Assateague Room into a
fitness center. The suggestion drew a
question over whether the trend for
fitness center memberships nationally
t
n
e
m
e
r
Reti
Sale
was growing or waning.
According to Acting Committee
Chairman Steve Cohen, Diriker’s BEACON program could provide the data
and analysis to determine whether the
trend for fitness center usage in the
Ocean Pines community would likely
to increase or decrease over a period of
time, based on the demographics and
activities of the residents. It could help
the community project what types of
facilities, such as swimming pools, golf
or fitness, would be needed over the
next 10 years.
Cohen said Diriker’s presentation
was the first phase of the comprehen-
sive planning process and that it
would be up to the board to decide
whether to incorporate any of the
BEACON analysis and proposals into
that process. If the board voted to use
the BEACON program when it meets
during regular session on Dec. 18,
Cohen said, Diriker could produce an
analytical report with data specific to
the OPA in four weeks.
During the work session the board
was also scheduled to discuss historical artifacts, storm water drainage, environmental and natural assets and
the possible development of a code of
conduct.

Job presents unique opportunity
ment was evident as she prepared to get
started on her first career job after receiving
a certification from Montgomery College in
event management. She graduated from
Salisbury University with a degree in fine
arts and graphic design, she said.
While she is not a native, Houston is
very familiar with the Eastern Shore from
the many summers she has lived and
worked here. This past summer, she
gained experience in the field by planning
events like theme parties and weddings as
an intern at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill.
Her graphic arts skills will likely play a
role in helping develop marketing pamphlets and a sign board for the Visitor
Center, Day said. He said the department
might also make her available to lend assistance with creating signs for businesses
that receive façade grants, depending on
her schedule.
Among Houston’s other duties will be
working closely with event organizers and
other town departments to coordinate
town-approved events, including planning and layouts, idea development, and
even helping to close down events when
needed.
She will also be tasked with keeping the
town Web site’s event schedule up to date,
promoting events through traditional
media as well as online social media and
the Berlin Main Street Web site. Not only
will Houston be the department’s point
person on Berlin Main Street committees,

The Town of Berlin Board of Elections will meet at 3 p.m. on Monday,

as determined by 2010 census data.
This meeting is open to the public.

she will serve as rental agent/manager for
the Visitors Center and will help coordinate volunteers to staff the Visitors Center
and Ambassador Program.
“I’m meeting a lot of people. Everyone is
so nice and so positive about having me
come on board,” Houston said. She also figured out that she would be taking a lot of
projects off the plates of some of her new coworkers, who have been pitching in on several duties, and she seemed happy to do so.
Asked how she felt about her role in
helping to shape a brand new position,
Houston said, “I was really excited to
learn that it was a new position, because
I’m new to the industry.”
She recognized that it presented a rare
chance to put her own personal stamp on
a fresh new concept. To contact Houston,
e-mail her at [email protected].
The Mayor and Council of the Town
of Berlin will hold a joint work session
with the Berlin Board of Elections supervisors to discuss potential re-configuration of Berlin’s four Election districts
on Monday, Dec. 16 at 6 p.m. Work sessions are open to public attendance.

Players, “we have something for you and
it will make you laugh, sing and maybe
even dance.”

Berlin’s Victorian Christmas
celebration begins this week
Town’s annual parade to
roll through downtown
area Thursday evening
By Sheila R. Cherry
Associate Editor
BERLIN—The tree is lit and the
streets are decked. Victorian Christmas
has arrived and will be marshalled in
Thursday evening, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. with
85 floats, bands and marchers down
Berlin’s Main Street to herald the start
of the holiday season.
Annual Christmas parade organizer
Sharon Timmons said the parade will include 12 fire departments, three marching bands, school floats, dance teams,
antique cars, awesome motorcycles, and
critters from the Delmarva Zoo. She gave
no clue whether one of those critters
might be a partridge in a pear tree.
Joann Unger who was also coordinating the parade hinted that there
would be a big surprise for the little
ones at the end of the parade.
To bring on the true spirit of Victorian Christmas charm, the Taylor
House Museum will host tours literally
day and night. Candlelight tours of the
museum’s first floor will be hosted on
Friday evenings, Dec. 6, 13 and 20, from
5-7:30 p.m. Daylight tours will be held
on Saturdays, starting with a Wassail
and Gingerbread Day on Dec. 7, and
continuing with regular day tours on
Dec. 14 and 21, from 1-4 p.m. For information call 410-641-1019.
Also on Saturday, Dec. 7, Buckingham Presbyterian Church will host two
separate Breakfast with Santa events at
8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. For reservations call 410-641-0234. The cost for
adults is $7 and for children 3-10 yearsold is $4. The event is free for children

Variety of activities
planned in Berlin
during celebration
Hall at 214 North Main St. From the
menu it’s clear you won’t leave hungry.
It will include pancakes, scrambled
eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, biscuits, and more, and costs $9 for adults
and $7 for children 5-12 years-old.
The Sixth Annual Reindeer Run 5K
will kick off from the Atlantic Hotel, on
Saturday, Dec. 7, at 9 a.m.—the 1 mile
event will begin at 10 a.m. The event is
being sponsored by Live Long Fitness to
benefit Worcester Youth and Family
Counseling Services. More information
is available at www.active.com or by email at [email protected].
Since it is better to give than to receive—so they say—downtown shops
will offer holiday shopping opportunities aplenty, along with a little something for the shopper in the form of
maps featuring participating stores,
with a chance to win a big prize at the
end of the day.
A special Ladies Night Out will begin
with registrations at the Treasure Chest,
on Friday, Dec. 6, with a list of participating stores. There will be a drawing
later in the day for a free gift basket
filled with goodies from the participating merchants for one lucky Ms./Mrs.
Claus.
Then on Friday, Dec. 20, holiday
frazzled gents will get some seasonal
shopping support with Men’s Night
Out, from 5-8 p.m. They can register to
win a rebate of the costs of their purchases, up to $250, at Victorian Charm,
and then kick back at Sister’s where the
prize will be awarded at 8 pm. If they
come home empty-handed after all that
they do so at their peril.
Speaking of shopping, shopping and
more shopping, don’t forget Second Friday Art Stroll on Friday, Dec, 13, from
5-8 p.m., when Main Street shops will
be at their festive best. Shops will be
bulging with a plethora of unique and
artful gifts.
Throughout the month of December
the historic Atlantic Hotel will host several Victorian Christmas-themed tours
and events, including visits from Santa,
horse and carriage rides, afternoon refreshments, and special hotel stay and
dining packages. The façade of the 118
year-old landmark is also featured on
Berlin’s official second annual Christmas keepsake ornament, which will be
sold by several stores throughout the
town.
The month will end with the Dec. 31
New Year’s Eve Ball Drop celebration
from 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1.

Diakonia: a place where people come to hit life’s ‘reset’ button
Organization to present free
event at Seacrets in Ocean City
By Phil Jacobs
Editor/Ocean City Today
WEST OCEAN CITY—A man is playing hide
and seek with a toddler.
The little boy runs behind a tree laughing with
delight as his seeker pretends he can’t find him
“anywhere.”
The man’s wife invites guests in to her lovely
two-bedroom apartment. One could hear the collective stamps of mothers all over the world saying
in unison, “you could practically eat off the floor”
it was so clean. It could have been in any neighborhood, block or front yard in town.
Inside a nearby building, the pace is faster.
Boxes and bags of food are emptied and shelved.
Upstairs, dorm-like rooms are neat as their occupants are out either working, taking classes or perhaps getting counseling.
The day before, students from Berlin Intermediate School arrived to clean up the garden in time
for winter’s cold winds.
A volunteer delivered three-dozen sandwiches
she had made. She does this every week. The parking lot was busy, but in a good way. Several bicycles
were at the ready in a nearby bike rack.
And all of this was happening on a quiet residential West Ocean City street.
Want for a small sign on its Old Bridge Road location, it would be easy to pass Diakonia as just another house in the neighborhood.
Diakonia, founded some 40 years ago by the
Mennonite Church, is a word that describes the
house or chamber used by ancient Roman church
to feed the hungry and house the homeless.
Claudia Nagle, Diakonia’s executive director,
has been operating this welcome home to people
who generally need to push the “reset” button in
their lives.
On any given night, Diakonia houses 40 people,
including single adults and families. They also distribute thousands of pounds of food each year to
those in need. It’s not just about the shelter and the
food, however.
When a person comes to Diakonia they tap in to
a resource that helps them re-discover their selfimages, their courage, their flexibility and their
ability to move forward towards achieving a GED,
solid employment or a new home.
On Thursday, Dec. 5, beginning at 6 p.m.,
Seacrets will host a special Diakonia event.
“Learn how locals are helping locals in need, and
how you can help as well,” said Nagle.
“We’re a family of 40, including 10 children,”
said Susan Blaney, Diakonia’s Volunteer Coordinator. Blaney is Diakonia’s “Energizer Bunny.”
A former client there, she now is a huge part of
the facility’s professional staff. During the tour she
talks about how Diakonia came to be in 1972, how
it got it’s 501(c)3 non-profit designation in 1982.
She runs the tour efficiently, knowing the name of
seemingly everyone she sees, and also high fiving
volunteers and residents.
“If you listen you can hear my heart singing,”
Nagle said.
One doesn’t have to listen with much effort.

Diakonia in WOC, a life-saving place for many of area’s needy
Nagle is pure joy to watch and listen to.
“We have two case managers who
work with our guests,” explained Nagle.
“Here, we want our residents to learn
the kind of life skills they’ll need.”
Residents are offered breakfast,
lunch, dinner and two snacks. Just by
way of programming examples, there’s
after-school tutoring on Mondays; a
non-denominational Bible study on
Thursdays; and Friday night is of
course, movie night. If you want to
practice your “warrior pose,” Diakonia
also offers yoga.
Nagle explains that the only groups
that can’t be accepted on a residential
basis are sex offenders. There are
staffers on duty 24/7. Each room generally has four beds. Men are housed in
one building, women in the other.
There is a room used as transitional
housing. This is where a resident has
been hired with a steady income. This
resident would pay a program fee to
stay in the room.
Blaney said that for most, it’s about
regaining a sense of dignity. Recovering
addicts often have lost their driver’s licenses or even their social security
cards. Here, they make their bed every
day and keep their living spaces neat,
sharing chores and responsibilities.
She explains that Diakonia is supported by individuals, families, schools,
churches, jurisdictions and even restaurants and convenience stores, and the
Casino at Ocean Downs.
“Most smiles are created by another
smile,” reads a piece of paper on a
fridge. That line pretty much captures
what happens there.
Mostly, though, Nagle describes Diakonia as a “safety net in caring. Dignity
and respect are both a big part of this.”
There’s another part to all of this, she
added.
“Diakonia is home to our residents,”
she said. Residents can stay for as long
two years.
“We celebrate here,” Nagle added.
“We celebrate when someone passes a
test. Diakonia teaches people to live
their lives and also how to celebrate
their lives. We find joy.”
The facility really came under pressure when the housing market, be it
construction or finances, hit the 2008
wall.
“There aren’t many manufacturing
jobs around here,” Nagle said. “But
when the economy was good, people
could get construction jobs.”
She said 17 percent of the Diakonia
clients are or were connected in some
way with the construction business,
mostly in Worcester County.
“When this happened, we saw people
here we’d never thought we’d see,” she
said. “People who volunteered here
were now coming for our help. That has
to be a humbling experience.”
On the flip side are the success stories: People who once needed services,
and are now contributing to Diakonia.”
It’s difficult to describe Nagle’s job,
because she does everything from write
grants to host volunteers to work out
food collection.
“This is a gift for me being here,” she
said while taking a few minutes to talk
in her busy office.
“I love it when I see the students
from Berlin Intermediate School here,
or someone who gives their birthday
gift money to buy food for us. We’ve
had bar mitzvah boys and bat mitzvah
girls give their gift money to us. The
area churches and synagogue have
been there for us over and over again,”
she said.
The future?
Nagle is hoping to see the housing
expanded.
“The support of our community is
amazing,” she said.
She turns away and thinks for a moment in the quiet.
“This is a job I love.”
Diakonia by the numbers:
7 full-time employees
10 part-time employees
24 service veterans enrolled in Supportive Services for Vets and Families
40 years in existence
71 percent increase in emergency
food assistance
130 active volunteers
2,000 bags of groceries distributed
in a month
3,000 pounds of donated diet Pepsi

Berlin Parks Commission receives 10 entries for competition
Judges will help choose
right combination of
artwork for mural
By Sheila R. Cherry
Associate Editor
BERLIN—The Berlin Parks Commission met with several of the volunteer judges who will help
organizers choose the right combination of pictures from entries for
the Stephen Decatur Park Mural
Contest, upcoming additions to Dr.
William Henry Park, and began discussions on possible long-range
planning for John Howard Burbage
Park, during a Dec. 3 meeting.
Deputy Administrator Mary
Bohlen, the town’s liaison to the
Parks Commission reported that 10
entries had been received for the
mural competition. Basically, she
advised the judges their role would
be to provide expertise on which
combinations of the student artwork
submitted would be the most aesthetically compatible for the outer
wall of the Decatur Park racquet ball
courts that serve as a backdrop for
the tennis courts.
Mural contest judges will include
Patty Falck, a local artist and owner
of Ta Da; Michelle Hammond, a
teacher at Stephen Decatur Middle
School; Erika Rittling Uebel and
Kate Russell, of Fig Tree Studios;
long-time Parks Commission supporter Debbi Dean-Colley, Kathy
Mumford, a local artist; and Brian
Robertson, a graphic designer.
The judges agreed to meet again
with the commission in January.
The timing for the completion of the
project is still in discussion, but
might coincide with next year’s
“Paint Berlin” event.
Loretta Brown-Briddell provided
input on the possible placement of
concrete checkers and chess tables
and horseshoe pits planned for installation at Henry Park. She told
the commission that several horseshoe game enthusiasts had offered
to volunteer to help with the project.
Discussion about placement of
the checkers and chess tables involved trying to find a balance be-
tween providing space for chess
players in a way to facilitate intergenerational interaction with children playing in the park.
Bohlen asked for suggestions on
the number of tables and stools that
would be needed.
Commission members seemed to
lean toward seeking input from the
checker and chess gaming community on ways to give the players the
space they might need to concentrate in a park environment.
Bohlen advised the commission
she had been contacted about possible new functions for the open space
in Burbage Park. Initial ideas included a possible children’s garden
program, community garden or
herb garden.

New salon provides wide range of services to Ocean Pines area
Owner Bathon currently
offering 20-percent off
discount on hair, waxing
By Sheila R. Cherry
Associate Editor
OCEAN PINES—Air services are
moving over to make way for hair services Beauchamp Road as Kate Bathon,
owner of the Enchanted Beauty Salon &
Spa, prepares to greet new customers
into the home-like setting of her new
venture.
The salon is located at 11220
Beauchamp Rd., across from St. John
Neumann’s Catholic Church. The building formerly housed Bathon’s husband’s Marc Anthony Services, which
provides heating, air conditioning,
plumbing and electrical contracting
services. It looks nothing like a site for
mechanical work.
Instead, the front office has been reworked as a reception area, complete
with Mickey the guard-Bichon. Inside,
the salon has a separate room for massages, a bathroom bathed in dark bold
teal with silver accents, and a warm and
inviting waiting room with comfy sofas,
a fireplace, and light refreshments, although Bathon noted, “The cookies go
quickly.”
Bathon, who is originally from Russia, said the idea for the salon was her
husband’s impulse idea. “He’s an idea
generator,” she said.
She is currently offering hair and
waxing services with a 20 percent off
discount promotion to help introduce
the spa to the local community.
Bathon touts the company as a salon
for everybody. Services range from
adults to children, unisex and multiethnic.
Prices range from $10 for some waxing services to $75 or more perm services. Men’s and ladies’ shampoo, blow
dry and style services start at $20 and
$35 respectively.
The certified stylist who makes the
magic work is Dana Moreau, a fun,
friendly spirit from Florida. She brings
27 years of hair styling experience with

walking talking advertisement.
Asked what her specialty was,
Moreau responded short hair, men’s
cuts, and “I love to do any kind of
color.” She said she can also provide
head and neck massages as part of her
hair care services for an additional fee.

FINANCE
Create investment mix that
includes three types of income
If you depend on fixed-income investments for at least part of your income, you probably haven’t been too
happy in recent years, as interest rates
have hit historic lows.
Nonetheless, even in a low-rate environment, you can broaden the incomeproducing potential of your investment
portfolio.
However, before taking action, it’s
helpful to know what the near-term direction of interest rates may look like.
The Federal Reserve has stated that it
plans to keep short-term rates at their
current historic lows until at least mid2015. The Fed doesn’t control long-term
rates, making them somewhat less predictable, but it’s still likely that these
rates will rise sooner than short-term
ones.
In any case, rather than worry about
something you can’t control – that is, interest rate movements – try to focus on
those things you can accomplish. And
one achievable goal is to create an investment mix that includes three types
of income: variable, reliable and rising.
• Variable income investments –
Some variable income investments,
such as certificates of deposit (CDs),
offer significant protection of principal,
and the value of your investment won’t
change with fluctuating interest rates,
provided you hold your CD until maturity.
Of course, current rates are quite
low, which means CDs provide you with
little income today, but their rates have
the potential to rise along with shortterm interest rates.
• Reliable income investments –
When you purchase reliable income investments, which can include individual
bonds, you have the opportunity to earn
more income today, and more consistent income over time, than you’d typically get from variable income
investments.
However, you will likely also experience greater price fluctuations as interest rates change. Specifically, as interest
rates rise, the price of your existing
bonds typically will fall.
• Rising income investments – When
investing for income, you’ll want to keep
at least one eye on inflation – because if
the interest rates paid on your CDs and
individual bonds are lower than the annual inflation rate, you may lose pur-

Has until early January

By Sheila R. Cherry
Associate Editor
BERLIN—The Maryland State Police
Crash Team is investigating details relating to the Nov. 8 crash that killed 16
year-old Tymeir Dennis and severely injured his 18 year-old brother Tyheim
Bowen, and has until early January to
complete a full review of the incident,
according to Trooper First Class Chris
Davala, assistant commander of the
MSP’s Berlin Barrack.
Davala said there had been a slight
delay in the investigation because officials initially had difficulty locating the
mother of the brothers, because she had
been attending to her surviving son, who
had been transported to Baltimore.
The mother, Tynise Bowen, of Berlin,
was a witness at the scene of the accident, which occurred when her sons
were struck by an unmarked police car,
driven by MSP Trooper Nicholas Hager,
at the intersection of Route 113 and Bay
Street.
Davala acknowledged that MSP officials were trying to be sensitive to the
emotional nature of the mother’s involvement with her older son’s medical
care and respectful of the family’s time
of bereavement. The interview with the
mother has since been completed, he
confirmed.
Once the investigation has been completed a Detailed Crash Investigation Report will be submitted to the Crash Team
Variable, reliable, rising income
chasing power. If this gap persists over
time, it could grow into a real problem
for you. Consequently, you’ll want at
least some of your investment income
to come from rising income investments, such as dividend-paying stocks.
Of course, not all stocks pay dividends,
but with the help of your financial advisor, you can find companies that have
paid – and even increased – their dividends for many years running.
And if you don’t actually need the
dividends to supplement your cash
flow, you can reinvest them to build
your ownership stake in these stocks.
Keep in mind, though, that companies
can reduce or discontinue dividends at
any time. Also, remember that stock
prices will constantly rise and fall, so the
value of your principal could decline.
As you can see, all three types of income-producing investments – variable, reliable and rising – offer some
benefits, along with some risks of which
you need to be aware.
But putting together a mix of these
investments that’s appropriate for your
individual needs, goals and risk tolerance may help you boost the productivity of the “income” portion of your
portfolio – no matter what’s happening
with interest rates.

Officials lend assistance on pedestrian matter
supervisor for review and possible revisions, according to Davala. The process
takes on average as long as 90 days from
the time of the incident, he said.
Trooper Hager has been reinstated
and is back on duty, Davala said.
Meanwhile, Del. Michael McDermott,
whose district includes the area where
the accident occurred contacted Donnie
Drewer, District 1 engineer for the State
Highway Administration, in an effort to
discuss options to address the traffic
safety problems at the intersection.
During a Dec. 4 interview, McDermott recalled a similar pedestrian safety
problem that led to crashes in
Pocomoke in the late 1990s and early
2000’s, in the proximity of what was
then a newly constructed Wal-Mart. As
Pocomoke’s mayor at the time, McDer-
mott said he met with Wal-Mart representatives to discuss ways to increase
pedestrian safety for residents who
were attempting to shop at the store.
As a result, McDermott said the SHA
created a controlled intersection by decreasing the speed limit from 55 milesper-hour to 50 mph, extending the
existing sidewalks, installing a crosswalk, and creating designated pedestrian crossing areas—all of which were
required precursors to installing countdown clocks where pedestrian traffic
had then been directed.
“It was a mirror image of the situation in Berlin,” he said.
McDermott also suggested enhancing
or erecting additional barriers along the
boundary of Henry Park, to discourage
individuals from crossing at unsafe areas.
Patricia Dufendach, who is a mem-
29th
Nov.
ber of the recently organized US 113 Citizens Subcommittee, had contacted McDermott and Sen. James Mathias for
their assistance and attempted to make
a presentation on the matter before the
Worcester County Commissioners during their Dec. 3 meeting.
Public comments, however, are not
an agenda item for commissioners
meetings. The subcommittee is pushing
forward with a public pedestrian safety
campaign. Town-endorsed buttons are
being created with the message “Slow
Down in Our Town,” to raise awareness
about the need to lower the speed on
Route 113 through the Town of Berlin.
Mathias said he supported the subcommittee’s endeavors to make the
Route 113 highway safer and had
strongly urged Drewer to work with the
pedestrian safety advocates.

Lloyd presented with special
award for service, dedication
sented with a special award for recognition of his years of outstanding service
and dedication. Lloyd, a Boat Club member for 23 years, is the club’s unofficial
historian and archivist. He is publisher
of The Voice, is a past Commodore and
has served in virtually every position in
the Boat Club, including chair of the Boat
Parade for 17 years, membership chair
and secretary of the board for the past 13
years. He is retiring from his position of
secretary of the board, but will thankfully
remain a member of the Board of Directors for years to come.
Every year, an Outstanding Member of the Year Award is presented at
the Change of Watch dinner. This year
the award was presented to two couples – Dick and Marie Hannah for
chairing the spring bike trips for 13
years, and Steve and Kathleen Kelvin
for chairing the fall bike trips for 10
years. The bike trips have been great
fun over the years and the Hannah’s
and Kelvin’s are most deserving of this
prestigious award.
The Ocean Pines Boat Club, with
more than 450 active members, is the
foremost social club in Ocean Pines.
The club sponsors myriad events
throughout the year and its many members actively participate and volunteer
in these activities.
For more information, please visit the
Ocean Pines website, opboatclub.org.

EDITORIAL
Yes, let’s celebrate, but
remember responsibilities
While Berlin is getting ready for its Victorian Christmas and
many have worked hard to prepare for a successful holiday season,
there is still something that can’t be forgotten.
We’re not writing here that it is being placed on the back burner
in favor of the holidays. That’s not the case at all. This is simply a
reminder.
The fact of the matter, Tymier Dennis’s death is still to be
mourned. His brother Tyheim Brown’s life is changed forever. A
petition will go to the State Highway Administration advocating for
change along the stretch of Route 113 running through the town.
There is a time to rejoice, and the days between Thanksgiving
and New Year’s seems to be a period when we take a collective
hiatus on the life’s intensities, and we work hard to celebrate. But
we can’t work hard to forget.
When the Christmas trees are being taken down and the New
Year’s confetti is being sucked up into vacuum cleaners, the problems facing the teenager from Berlin, struck by an unmarked state
police car in early November have not gone away and must not be
erased from our collective memories.
Based on the community’s exemplary reaction to the tragic accident, we are confident that the people of Berlin will not only
come together in celebration, but during this season of seasons,
Brown and his deceased brother will be part of our giving and our
prayers. In short, they will not be forgotten.
Yes we celebrate, but we also must remember. Taking care of
the infirm is absolutely part of the holiday message.

COMMENTARY
We have hope for future political leaders
By Steven I. Platt
The Daily Record Newswire
BALTIMORE — As this column was being written, Thanksgiving Day was imminent,
Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are approaching and 2013 is
coming to an end. The year 2014
appears over the horizon, but our
vision of what it will look like is
clouded by the events of 2013 as
well as by societal and cultural
trends that began before 2013 but
that became more noticeable after
being reinforced this year — despite our hopes that they would
disappear after the 2012 election.
I refer to the continual political
gridlock in Washington, which
many more optimistic and
renowned pundits had predicted
would at least dissipate as a result
of the “will of the people, ” expressed one way or the other in
the last presidential and congressional elections. That did not
happen. Instead, the level of public approval, confidence and trust
in both the institutions of government and the individuals whom
we elect to manage those institutions deteriorated even further.
Why? Well, the disastrous
rollout of Obamacare, both the
website and the implementation
of the policy itself, reinforced if
not intensified the general cyni-
cism about the ability of government to function efficiently — as
well as about the honesty and integrity of our leaders who promised to “change the way
Washington works, ” “end gridlock” and provide “affordable
health care” all at once. So did the
mea culpas in which the president acknowledged “not getting
it right” and “unintentionally”
misleading those citizens who
were promised that “if you like
your health insurance and your
doctor, you can keep them. ”
That coupled with the attempt by Tea Party Republicans
to undermine the operations of
the executive branch of government by shutting it down for
about two weeks and then keeping key positions in the executive
branch from being staffed by
putting arbitrary “holds” on the
confirmation of appointments to
these positions by the U. S. Senate. This cynical, ill-advised and
arguably unpatriotic partisan
warfare extended even to the judicial branch of government with
the refusal to confirm indisputably qualified judicial nominees, preserving the ideologically
driven partisan and philosophical composition of certain courts,
particularly the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit.
‘Nuclear option’
This hyperpartisan method of
operation by the Republicans
was reluctantly and belatedly addressed last week by a change in
the rules of the Senate labeled by
opponents and even some supporters as the “nuclear option. ”
In a nutshell, for certain executive appointments and judicial
nominations (not including the
Supreme Court), this reduces
the number of votes needed to
invoke cloture from 60 to 51,
which halts a filibuster on these
nominations. Even the conservative “Distinguished Panel” on
“Fox News Sunday” conceded
that despite the offense they took
over this and their predictions
that the Senate as an institution
has now suffered a “mortal blow,
” most of us mere mortals will
not be discussing the rule change
over our Thanksgiving turkey. In
fact, its effect will probably go
unnoticed — except perhaps to
improve the efficiency of government if you believe that government functions better if it is
properly staffed.
All of this is now coupled with
the recently agreed upon “interim
agreement” on Iran’s nuclear program, whose backdrop is the current turmoil in the Middle East.

SALISBURY–As part of Choptank
Electric Cooperative’s 75th anniversary
celebration this year, members and employees were invited to participate in
the “Canzaganza” food drive that benefited the Maryland Food Bank – Eastern Shore.
Collection barrels were placed at the
Denton, St. Michaels, Cambridge, Salisbury and Berlin offices from Aug. 15
through Oct. 31.
Choptank Electric collected 2,823
pounds of food, which equals 2,171
meals that will be provided to the hungry in this area.
“Your members and employees have
made a very positive impact on the lives
of children and their families in our
local communities on the Eastern
Shore,” said Yvonne Terry, director of
development, Maryland Food Bank Eastern Shore. “I wish that you would
be able to see just how happy they will
be when they receive the food that you
provided.”
The Maryland Food Bank – Eastern
Shore is located in Salisbury and was
founded in 1979. Its mission is to end
hunger in the region. While some programs help those who are hungry, there
is still a large gap and this is where the
Food Bank assists.
According to the USDA, more than
720,000 Marylanders are food insecure
– uncertain of where their next meal
will come from.
The 75th anniversary committee
from Choptank Electric Cooperative
presented a check to the Food Bank of
Maryland – Eastern Shore on Nov. 14.
Employees participated in several
fundraising events such as dressing up
for Halloween and wearing jeans every
Wednesday in October.
Their monetary donations totaled
$429.
k
At a time when the people we elected to lead
our country and manage the branches and
institutions of government should be making every effort to “speak with one voice, ” at
least in foreign policy, the early reaction appears to be more of the same talking points.
Wisdom in statesmen
Ignatieff clarifies what “good judgment” in a politician looks like by referencing the work of the philosopher Isaiah
Berlin. Berlin describes “what is called
wisdom in statesmen” by writing with reference to figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Berlin
explains that “what is called wisdom in
statesmen is understanding rather than
knowledge —- some kind of acquaintance
with relevant facts of such a kind that enable those who have to tell what fits with
what, what can be done in given circumstances and what cannot, what means will
work in what situations and how for without necessarily being able to explain how
they know this or even what they know. ”
In plain English, this means wise politicians don’t confuse the world as it is with
the world as they wish it to be.
This means that the criticism of Presi-

When we emerge from the eggnog and
gift-wrapping, we can’t just pick up where
we left off. The issue of Route 113 has not
gone away. Neither should our efforts to
bring it to the state’s attention at the highest
level. It must not be put on hold until Jan.
2, though we know the temptation of “we’re
tired, and we need to celebrate” is there.
The petition was a start.

Now Berlin residents need to keep the
issue fresh. What better time than the holiday season to bring its message of sharing and caring to a youth and his family
whose lives don’t pause while the rest of
us find reason to celebrate.

and should be movement on the Route

that even if he or she is naturally conflictaverse, as most successful politicians are,
all ideas, including those with which the
leader and his staff disagree, are considered fully and completely in a timely fashion and in the framework and atmosphere
where the leader is not unduly pressured
in a particular direction because of who is
in the room at the moment.
Ironically, on the 50th anniversary of
President John F. Kennedy’s assassination,
many former colleagues and friends of
Kennedy remembered that he instinctively
knew when to disregard the advice of “experts, ” including the generals who advised
him to launch a “limited nuclear attack” in
response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Our
fond memories of JFK’s handling of crises
are in no small part due to that limited but
impressive historical record.
This week, let’s give thanks for the fact
that we have people who are thinking
about the needs of the people and who are
willing to study history to improve the
voters’ personnel management choices.
Best wishes for a merry Christmas, happy
Hanukkah and happy Kwanzaa.

managing the rollout of the Obamacare
website as well as appearing not to know
what was going on at the National Security Agency as it was collecting massive
personal data is at best unfair and uniformed and at worse cynical and sleazy.
On the other hand, the criticism of him
and his senior staff for not listening with
an open mind to those whose concerns
about and opposition to the Affordable
Care Act is valid.
Vital judgments
As Ignatieff points out, in practical politics and running a government “there is
no science of decision-making. ” The vital
judgments a politician makes every day
are about people —— whom to trust,
whom to believe and whom to avoid. Having good judgment in these matters and
having a solid perception of reality requires trusting some very unscientific instincts and intuitions about people. That
means a president or any executive should
talk to different people about different
things. He or she should also talk to more
than one set of advisers about some
things. Furthermore, the structure of how
the president receives his or her advice

Add your favorite liqueur or liquor to Frappe
BAYSIDE GAZETTE
After a very chilly afternoon of food
science and model rockets, it was time
to warm up with some hot chocolate.
After
ordering
three medium hot
chocolates and a
medium fry at a
local fast food
restaurant, I was
stunned to have
the cashier tell me
it would be over
$12.
How did this
By Paul Suplee,
happen? What in
the world is going
CEC PCIII
on? As I proceeded through the Drive-thru I paid
closer attention to the coffee menu.
The frozen mocha drinks were upwards of five dollars a pop; I guess I’m
turning into the old geezer pennypincher. The prices had given me my
first sticker shock in a long time.
I believe that we live in a great nation, albeit one in which marketing can
often dictate what we perceive as good
pricing on mediocre products.
As I drove home, my attention
turned to the frozen mocha mega-delicious shakes that cost so much money.
I have tried making them in the past to
no great success and realized that I had
been leaving out a readily available
product used in a great deal of food processing: xanthan gum.
You can find xanthan in the natural
foods section of most stores and the
brand that I have is Bob’s Red Mill xanthan that is inexpensive considering
how little you have to use and the effect
that it has on many food products.
A full week passed by before we
began experimentation with the miraculous microbe, using it in a simple
vinaigrette that permanently emulsified
the mixture with great success and ease.
Next up, with the family in town and the
kids playing guitar and piano at 10:30
at night, it was time to play around with
a caffeinated coffee treat. After all,
nothing says ‘jamming’ like sugar and
caffeine.
So I made a quick frozen mocha
drink for everyone and they were a huge
hit. Plus the music continued until almost 1 in the morning.
If you have tried to make a coffee
drink or fruit smoothie, you may have
noticed that the water will separate or
weep from your mixture, making it difficult to drink and unpleasant to look at.
With the quick addition of a thickener
such as xanthan, you will notice a drastic difference in appearance and texture
with no notable difference in taste. So
little is used for a batch that will serve
six people that it won’t affect the flavor
profile.
Digging through our pantry to make
our treat, I noticed the Ghirardelli
Syrup that we have had for a while.
Sometimes you can find it in the store;
otherwise it can be easily procured online.
Making the treat was simple enough,
thickening it was even easier and watching it disappear was the simplest trick
ever performed in our kitchen. Easy, fun
and delicious, this recipe does not belong
in your healthy cuisine files but then I
never claimed to be that chef, did I?
Another great aspect of this drink is
that you can add liqueur and/or liquor
to the shake, effectively creating those
mystical smooth and creamy drinks you
get at your favorite restaurant. Experiment with the new ingredient in your
arsenal and let me know how it goes.
So, after progressing from a chilly
day with hot cocoa to a chilled mocha
shake for our musical minions, I realize
that it is all in a week’s work for the curious cook. And now that this one is
mastered, methinks I shall integrate
more running into the week to help
combat the evil effects that this may
possibly have on this old body.
Hand Crafted Frappe
Makes a little over 1 quart
3/4 cup good coffee grounds
2 cups cold half & half
Chocolate Syrup, as needed
1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum, as needed
Crushed ice
Bring the coffee grounds to a boil in
1 1/2 cups of water and immediately
turn to a simmer
Let it simmer for three minutes and
then pull off the heat, allowing to steep
for an additional ten minutes. Chill and
set aside until ready to make your
frappe.
Place your coffee concentrate in a
good blender.
Add the half and half and chocolate
syrup and blend until you have the taste
that you like. Remember that the flavor
will weaken as you add the ice; so make
your frappe a little over-flavored at this
point.
Add the Xanthan gum and shear in
the blender. (That’s fancy science talk
for cutting the xanthan into your mixture which hydrates it and allows it to
create the colloidal bond with the water
in your mix.)
Add the ice and blend until smooth
and creamy. The xanthan will keep your
frappe together and not weeping, which
is where the water separates from the
mix. Xanthan can also aid in making
fruit smoothies and mixed drinks in
which you have the weeping issue. Xanthan is readily available so play with it.
Top with whipped cream and serve
immediately.
Want to add some Kahlua or other
liqueurs or liquors? Xanthan is the secret in many commercially made drink
mixes and the reason that the homemixer can’t seem to make those specialty drinks like they do in the
restaurants.
