Brownie Troop Performs at Girl Scout Fundraiser
Brownie Troop #608 from Ocean Pines performed an Hawaiian Dance at the successful Star Charities Lollapalooza fundraiser to benefit local Girl Scouts. The event was held in the Stephen Decatur High School Theater and raised over $2500. Pictured are the Brownie performers at rehearsal. The troop leaders are Beverly
Meadows (on the left) and Mary Kirtley (second from the right). The girls were taught to do the Hula by a professional Hawaiian dance teacher.
WCDC was founded in
1971 by a group of parents
whose children had developmental disabilities. In 1973,
these families opened a day

Newark with an
enrollment of only
nine individuals.
Just five years

Worcester County Planning Commissioners met September 6 at a regular meeting to review plans for four proposed construction projects.
A sketch plan for
proposed construction
of a two-story 5,445
square foot Shore
Bank branch was reviewed. The branch
would be located on
the north side of Route
50 east of Golf Course
Road. Architect Jack
Mumford of the Becker
Morgan Group addressed
comments
from the planning department staff and commissioners. A
more detailed plan will be brought before the board at a future date.
Site plan approval was given for the construction of a
Chick-fil-A location adjacent to Applebee’s in West Ocean
City.
Scott Thigpen, development manager for the restaurant
chain told commissioners that the company opens about 70
to 75 locations each year. He expects that the West Ocean
City location will employ about 70 people, 28 of whom will
fill full time positions. The restaurant will be open Monday
through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Site plan approval was also given to developer Palmer

state median income. The county’s
allocation for fiscal 2011 is
$37,512.
Ms. Bynum presented commissioners with a bid package for a replacement home to be constructed
in the Berlin area and a lead paint
abatement project in the Stockton
area. The replacement home will
be funded through the State Special Loans STAR Program. The
lead abatement will be funded by

resuscitation for
drowning victims.
However, CPR as we
know it today involves more than just
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Chest
compressions are now an important
part of performing CPR, but it was not
until 1891 that Dr. Friedrich Maass
performed the first documented chest
compression in humans. What’s
more, the first successful use of external chest compressions in human
resuscitation did not occur until 1903.
Even then, it was not until more than
half a century later that CPR was developed. In 1960, the American Heart
Association began a program to acquaint physicians with close-chest
cardiac resuscitation. Three years
later, after cardiologist Leonard
Scherlis started the American Heart
Association’s CPRCommittee, the association formally endorsed CPR as a
means to saving lives. Nowadays, the
American Heart Association reports
that effective bystander CPR, when
provided immediately after sudden
cardiac arrest, can double or triple a
victim’s chance of survival.
Emancipation Proclamation (EP) in
Lincoln’s own words is a revelation.
In his first Inaugural Address,
Lincoln noted that the Preamble to
our Constitution has the goal “...to
form a more perfect union.” (Pg 44)
Protecting the Constitution meant
protecting the Union. But, it also
meant protecting the right of slave
owners to keep their slaves which, at
that time, had the legal status of
“property”” (Pg 42, 43) “Succession”
and “Emancipation” were equally illegal. So, what changed?
The Union forces did not perform
well in the early months of the conflict. The EP was developed as a military strategy that may weaken the
rebellion by disrupting the relationship between slaves and owners. It
was preceded by an offer to let the
slave owners keep their slaves if
they gave up their rebellion before
the EP’s effective date. (Pg 59) The
offer was delayed until after the
Union’s success in the Battle of
Antietam. This timing let the rebels
consider the prospect that they
might lose both the rebellion and
their slaves if they did not accept the
offer. (Pg 64). The EP did not apply
to the slaves in MD and DE because
these states were not part of the rebellion. And, it did not apply to the
VA Eastern Shore counties of Accomack and Northampton because
these areas, although part of a state
in rebellion, were under Union control. (Pg 60). The EP included a provision that ex-slaves “...will be received
into the Armed Service of the United
States....” (Pg 61)
Lincoln was challenged about the
legitimacy of the EP. In its defense, he
wrote, “I think that the Constitution
invests its Commander-in-Chief with
the laws of war in the time of war.
The most that can be said ...is that the
slaves are property. Is there...any
question that by the law of war, property, both of enemies and friends, may
be taken when needed? And is it not

needed whenever taking it helps us or
hurts the enemy?” (Pg 67). By firing
on Fort Sumter, the rebels permitted
the President the creditable assertion
of additional powers, and that was the
change.
When pressed to make ending
slavery a goal of the conflict, Lincoln
wrote his goal was to “...save the
Union....” And, “...in the shortest way
under the Constitution.” (Pg 53). And,
“...is not either to save or destroy Slavery.” (Pg 54). Also, “I am naturally
anti-slavery.” But, “...I have never understood that the presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right
to act officially upon this judgement
and feeling.” (Pg 74)
Lincoln was assassinated on April
14, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the
Constitution banning slavery was enacted on Dec. 18, 1865.

Fact is stranger than fiction. Would you
believe a choir had its beginning at a picnic? In the summer of 2006, a group of
friends who enjoyed singing together gathered to eat, talk and sing. Since everyone
had such a great time, they decided to meet
again. At the second meeting Ray Shanley,
a member of the group, suggested they
Betty’s
Corner
By Betty Cianci
gather together on a regular basis as a choir.
He also threw out an idea that since many
of them belonged to different religious denominations they should become an ecumenical choir.
From that simple beginning the Ecumenical Choir of the Eastern Shore
(ECHOES) was born. The only problem
was that it was a choir without a church.
Since there was no place to sing, it was decided that the choir would volunteer to sing
at local churches without choirs. The choir
secured their director by pleading with
Evonne Lee to fill the position. Ms. Lee finally agreed to take on the directorship and
Bethany United Methodist Church graciously granted the group permission to use
their church for every-other-week rehearsals.
It is interesting to note the following
facts: Since their initial “start-up period,”
ECHOES has sung at a local synagogue,
Temple Bat Yam, and in a number of
churches
such
as,
Bethany
U n i t e d
Methodist
Church, The
Church of
The
Holy
Spirit and St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church. They have also sung at the
Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C.
Since there was a need to raise money
to buy music, ECHOES began doing public performances outside of church services.
The first performance was during the
Lenten season in 2007. It was entitled,
“Reflection by Candlelight” and was orchestrated between being a church service
and a concert. It offered musical reflections
on the season and gave those attending an
opportunity for spiritual reflection along
with fellowship. Since their first concert,
ECHOES has constantly strived to maintain a spiritual atmosphere. All their per-
formances have been held during the
Christmas and Easter season each year and
at various local churches The Community
Church at Ocean Pines, St. John Neumann
Catholic Church and St. Peter’s Church.
Another asset to ECHOES is their orchestra. This is comprised of a group of
one to two dozen local professional musicians who accompany the ECHOES Choir
during performances. The size and instrumentation of the orchestra varies depending on the works being performed.
Another unique feature about ECHOES
are the receptions following the group’s
performances. These receptions are themed
to the programs being offered. As an example after one Christmas concert there
was a Wassail reception at the Atlantic
United Methodist Church and after one
Lenten concert there was a Good Shepherd
Supper at Bethany United Methodist
Church.
Although the core of ECHOES is still
made up of many of the original group of
friends who met at the 2006 picnic, the
ECHOES membership has expanded over
the years. As the group reached out to different churches in the community and the
news of its work spread, many community
singers became members. Also, in the
spring 2010, Evonne Lee retired from directing and passed the baton to Mary
Collins, who had been the assistant direc-
tor of the group. Ms. Collins directed
ECHOES for the 2010-2011 season. Currently the directorship of ECHOES is held
by Chet Bober, who is also the choir director at the Community Church at Ocean
Pines.
An important fact brought to my attention is that regardless of the specifics of any
one particular season, the mission of
ECHOES remains the same. They act to
promote the celebration of faith and not any
particular denomination. They also expressed the sentiment that with so many divisive elements in our world, ECHOES
seeks to find and celebrate things that all
denominations have in common and to sing
music that touches the hearts and lifts the
spirits of listeners.
This year’s Christmas Concert will be
held on December 18 at the Community
Church at Ocean Pines. Tickets are $14 and
can be bought at the door or individuals
may call ahead to order. For ordering tickets in advance or if community members
are interested in joining ECHOES Choir,
call Ed Kriege at 410-641-5103.
Music is an important ingredient in our
lives. An unknown author scripted the following verse. “Music speaks what cannot
be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it
rest, heals the heart and makes it whole,
flows from heaven to the soul.”

Shakespeare on the shore

that might have been. It is the opening line
o

William
Shakespeare’s
“Twelfth

logue reverberated about the Lower Shore
recently as the Brown Box Theatre
performed the bard’s classic comedy.
And the good news for everyone who
enjoyed this production is that they
plan to be back next summer.
In order to give everyone access to
the production director Kyler Taustin
and his troupe mounted a varied
eight day run with 10 performances.
Seven of these were open to the public and took place at St. Martin’s
Church, White Horse Park, Indian
River Life Saving Station, Castle in
the Sand and Sunset Park. Three
performances were given at schools
in Salisbury before a total audience of
1,500 students. All performances
were free.
“It’s a magical evening when you
can be outside watching Shakespeare
in your own back yard,” said Marlene
Ott following an early evening performance in White Horse Park.
The Courier was fortunate to
catch up with Kyler who was in the
process of winding down the successful run before heading back to
Boston. He, an actor/director, and
Kimberly
Barrante,
an
actress/writer, created Brown Box
Theatre two years ago. “We wanted
to have control over our own careers,
not have to wait any longer to showcase our own work and be able to include other talented artists in this
company,” said Kyler, speaking about
the idea behind the theatre company.
With the help of friends and fellow
actors in and around New York City
and the Boston area, many in the
group are graduates of Emerson College, they developed a nucleus of talent from which they could draw.
Kyler Taustin, who is from Berlin
where his family still resides, was
drawn to Shakespeare’s works at an
early age. As a teenage student at
Proctor Academy in New Hampshire
he played the role of Curio in
“Twelfth Night.” Following his graduation from Boston’s Emerson College, known for its comprehensive
theatre program, he continued his
studies at the British American
Academy in Oxford and Berklee College of Music in Boston. Over the intervening years he had the recurring
idea of producing “Twelfth Night” on
a beach and what better beach than
Ocean City, the one near his old home
town.
But in order to provide a free production of Shakespeare during the
busy summer season at the shore
Brown Box would need some serious
funding. In April they mounted a
fundraiser at the Embers, performing
selected scenes from Shakespeare.
They received grants from the
Worcester County Arts Council
(WCAC) and the Community Foundation as well as contributions from
local businesses and individual
donors.
In order to minimize the housing
needs for performers and staff, much
of the staging and rehearsing was
conducted out of town. The production was mounted with a minimum of
props consisting mostly of an antique
ship’s wheel and some boxes. Costuming was also very basic or to put
it in Kyler’s words it was “layered
nautical and deteriorating.” In consideration of the staging of the numerous dueling scenes Kyler said,
“We worked very hard maintaining
safety. We did a fight call every day
starting in slow motion and moving
up to full pace. We also did fight calls
on sand so the actors could get used
to the footing and maintain safety. ”
Jim Falcon, president of the
WCAC had the opportunity to attend
an evening performance of “Twelfth
Night” and had high praise for the
group. “It was such an interesting
and entertaining production. The
outdoor setting provided an extra
special touch. My wife and I felt the
cast was extremely talented and we
were very impressed.” They further
stated that even when the actors
were not center stage they maintained their roles in a thoroughly convincing manner.
In the fall of 2010 Brown Box
brought two separate productions to
the Globe Theatre in Berlin. The first
was an original play written by Ms.
Barrante, entitled “Belly Full of
Stones.” This was followed in December with a dinner theatre production, “Two Rooms.” The Globe sold
out for both productions.
Brown Box Theatre is planning on
returning to Ocean City/Berlin next
summer with another free presentation of a Shakespearean play. Currently under consideration are
“Romeo and Juliet,” “Measure for
Measure,” “Troilus and Cressida” and
“Henry V.” “If you have any recommendations we would love to hear
them,” added Kyler.

Worcester County Commissioners have scheduled two public
hearings for November 1.
The first hearing regards an
amendment to the Worcester
County Water and Sewerage Plan
to include Pines Plaza and surrounding commercial properties in
the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service
area for water service.
The second hearing will hear
testimony about the MD 589 Corri-
dor Vision Plan. The plan has received a positive recommendation
from the Planning Commission. In
a letter to commissioners dated
September 9, 2011, Jeanne Lynch,
chair of the Planning Commissioner urged adoption of the document
“so
that
applicants
submitting site plans for review
will be cognizant of where the proposed future right-of-way is located
and can take into account in their
designs.”
Health Dept. warns of rabid cat
The Worcester County Health Department has confirmed an adult
black cat found near the intersection
of Greenbackville Road and George
Island Landing Road in Stockton
tested positive for rabies.
The large adult black cat was described as having a red collar that
had green and yellow flowers and a
bell.
Deputy Health Officer Dr. Andrea
Mathias warns that any person, pet
or other animal that may have had
contact with this cat could be at risk
for rabies exposure. To report any
contact with or exposure to these
cats, call the Worcester County
Health Department immediately at
410-641-9559. If you call after hours
or on the weekend, follow the instructions on the answering machine
for reporting an animal bite or rabies
exposure incident to reach on-call
staff.
Report any sick animals and those
acting in an unusual manner since
there may be additional rabid animals in this area. If contact is suspected with a pet, do not handle the
pet barehanded. Make sure all your
pets have current rabies vaccinations.
Do not allow pets to roam outdoors
unattended and do not leave pet food,
especially cat food, outdoors. Residents are encouraged to talk with
their neighbors and report any possible exposures.
If a person has been bitten he or
she should seek immediate medical
care. Post exposure treatment is necessary to prevent rabies. If not prevented, rabies is fatal. If a pet has
been bitten, contact a veterinarian.
For general rabies information,
please visit http://www.worcesterhealth.org.
The planning commissioners
concluded that having a plan in
place may “make it easier to get
funding approved for short-term
improvements.” At present, there
is no expectation that major improvements to Route 589 will occur
until after improvements to Route
113 are completed.
Boggs to hold
town meeting
Worcester County Commissioner Judy Boggs will have a town
meeting on Saturday, October 22, at
10 a.m., at the
Ocean Pines library.
Guests include
the Ocean Downs
Casino
Manager
and Club Manager
who will provide
Judy Boggs
an update the results
of
the
Casino’s first summer, the impact
of the revised horse racing schedule, and Ocean Downs’ plans for
possible additions to the entertainment and activities on the
Ocean Downs property.
Also a local Veterans Benefits
Specialist will discuss how she is
able to facilitate the process for
compensation and benefits, cut
through the red tape and eliminate
stress in processing claims.
Mrs. Boggs will update the
progress of local issues such as
Walmart, natural gas, Rte. 589,
the proposed Marvin Steen development, and more. The event is
open to the public.

OPVFD encourages safety during Fire Prevention Week
What is the best way to protect your
family from fire? Be ahead of the game,
of course. With more than 360,000 home
fires reported in the United States in
2009, according to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), your best defense is a good offense. That’s why the Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department is teaming up
with NFPA during Fire Prevention
Week, October 9-15, to let the community know: “It’s Fire Prevention Week.
Protect your Family from Fire!”
This year’s campaign focuses on preventing the leading causes of home
fires: cooking, heating and electrical
equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families
with life-saving technology and planning.
“In 2009, 2,565 people died in home
fires. Nearly all of these deaths could
have been prevented by taking a few
simple precautions like having working
smoke alarms and a home fire escape
plan, keeping things that can burn away
from the stove and always turning off
space heaters before going to bed,” says
Bill Bounds, division Captain of the
Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department.
“Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by
anticipating the hazards, you are much
less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000
people injured in home fires each year.”
The Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department offers the following tips for
protecting your home and family from
fire:
Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you
leave the kitchen for even a short period
of time, turn off the stove.
Keep anything that can burn at least
three feet away from heating equipment,
like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove,
or portable space heater.
Have a three-foot “kid-free zone”
around open fires and space heaters.
Replace or repair damaged or loose
electrical cords.
If you smoke, smoke outside and use
deep wide ashtrays on sturdy table.
Blow out all candles when you leave
the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of
candles in the bedroom and other areas
where people may fall asleep.
“While preventing home fires in
Ocean Pines is always our number one
priority, it is not always possible,”
Bounds continued. “Ocean Pines’ residents need to provide the best protection
to keep their homes and families safe in
the event of a fire. This can be achieved
by developing an escape plan which you
practice regularly and equipping homes
with life-saving technologies like smoke
alarms and home fire sprinklers.”
The following tips will help keep
your family safe if there is a fire in your
home:
Install smoke alarms inside each
bedroom, outside each sleeping area,
and on every level of the home (includ-
Firefighters go pink
The Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire
Department Firefighter/Paramedics,
staff and administrators will be
wearing pink polo shirts on the job
during the month of October to help
raise awareness for breast cancer.
During the month long event the
unusual pink breast cancer awareness shirts will replace the standardissue navy shirts typically worn by
firefighters while on duty. Also, the
outside lights at the firehouses will
have a bright pink hue at night to remind the community it is Breast
Cancer Awareness Month.
“We are proud to display the pink
colors during this month of breast
cancer awareness in support of the
many women and their families that
have been affected by this disease
and we hope that many in the community can support our efforts in
raising awareness of breast cancer
and how it touches us all,” said Bill
Bounds, division Captain for the
Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department.
Aside from non-melanoma skin
cancer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified
breast cancer as the most common
form of cancer in women.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
founded by AstraZeneca in 1985, is
an international health campaign
that takes place in October of each
year. The month-long campaign
strives to increase breast cancer
awareness while raising funds for research into its cause, prevention,
and cure.

ing the basement).
Interconnect all smoke alarms in the
home so when one sounds, they all
sound.
Test smoke alarms at least monthly
and replace all smoke alarms when they
are 10 years old or sooner if they do not
respond when tested.
Make sure everyone in your home
knows how to respond if the smoke
alarm sounds.
Pull together everyone in your
household and make a plan. Walk
through your home and inspect all pos-
sible ways out. Households with children should consider drawing a floor
plan of your home, marking two ways
out of each room, including windows
and doors.
If you are building or remodeling
your home, consider installing home fire
sprinklers.

It’s more than just a bagel at A Bagel and…
By Chelsea Grimm
Since June 2007, Mary and Bill
Jaeger have successfully run Ocean
Pines’ very own A Bagel And…. Located just inside the south gate of
the Pines, at 11304 Manklin Creek
Road, A Bagel And… offers bagels,
sandwiches and pastries to a hungry breakfast and lunch crowd.
Mary and Bill began to think
about opening their own place in
2004. When the economy crashed,
Bill lost his job as a locksmith so he
and Mary decided to risk opening
their own restaurant. “Bill always
wanted to own his own business,”
Mary stated. “He knew nothing
about baking, but when he sets his
mind to something he will get it
done.” Mary and Bill called on
friends from New York to give them
a hand. “They own several bagel
places there,” Mary explained. “They taught us
how to do everything and
sold us recipes.” After
learning the ropes all Mary
and Bill needed to do was
pick a name. “We wanted to
name it Bagels And but
that name was already
copyrighted” Mary said,
“So we decided to stick an
‘A’ in front of it so that we
could be first in the phone
book.”
A Bagel And… is situated on a
corner, just off the four-way stop in
South Ocean Pines, in its own
building. The restaurant is quaint
on the inside; plain white walls and
large windows give it a very open
and airy feel. Though the décor is
clean and simple, it is by no means
uninteresting. Pictures, knickknacks and various other eclectic
displays line the shelves and walls.
The counter is lined with large
glass cases overflowing with fresh
deli meats and pastries. The area
behind the counter is open so that
you can watch as your sandwich is
handcrafted. You can enjoy your
meal inside at A Bagel And…’s colorful, window side tables or outside
on their spacious patio area.
Mary draws a lot of joy and support from her family. “We are expecting a grandson soon,” she said
with excitement. Family is part of
what allows A Bagel And… to expand every year. “Our family works
here together and we like to hire
local people to work with us,” Mary
said. Despite all of the support and
help, running your own business is
not easy. Bill comes in every morning at 12:30 a.m. to start baking
bagels and sometimes stays till the
shop closes in the afternoon. Mary
works from open to close almost
every day of the week. But even
though the long hours are tough,
Mary still finds the restaurant fun.
“I like all of the people we have
met. We have regulars and I don’t
always know their names, but I
know what they want to eat.”
A Bagel And is open at 6 a. m.
every day. On weekends and Tuesdays they close at 2 p.m. and every
other day the store closes at 4 p.m..
Their menu includes everything
from plain bagels to delicious

That’s how my
garden grows...
By Betty McDermott
I hope we all welcomed Autumn with
great relief as we enjoyed the cooler temperatures the beginning of October. Could
you believe the thermometer when it read
only 40 degrees outside? I was very reluctant to turn my heat on, but I did just that to
take the chill off the house and also added
a blanket to my bed. I just loved that
toasty, warm feeling that blanket gave me.
Okay, let’s take a look at what gardeners
may be up to during these cool autumn
days. Also, more deer resistant plants will
follow.
It’s chrysanthemum time of the year
again!! As you visit nurseries and look
across a collection of colorful, brilliant
chrysanthemums, it is an awesome sight. It
is no wonder they are a popular fall perennial here. There are thousands of cultivars,
all which vary in hardiness and flower
color. If you purchase “mums” in containers, enjoy them while they last. When finished blooming, remove the plant from the
container, cut back the spent flowers, dig a
nice big hole and plant them in a sunny,
well drained spot. They do not like wet
feet. Remember, in June to pinch back
those buds as well as some greenery to develop better shape and to encourage bushiness. Do not pinch back or cut back the
buds after mid July as this may reduce the
flower display in the fall. These perennials
do spread and will get larger, so allow
plenty of room. Good luck with your new
“mums”
There are a few chores that need to be
done in the fall, so let’s begin with these
quick reminders:
*Now is the time to plant cabbage, kale,
other winter greens such as lettuce and
spinach, radishes, beets, and let’s not forget garlic for next year’s harvest.
*This is a good time to plant asters and
winter pansies for fall and winter color.
*If your perennials have gotten too
large, now is the time to divide them and
transplant or give them to a friend or neighbor.
*Don’t forget to bring in your tender
houseplants you put outside this summer.
First, check them all over for insects and
disease; it is wise to hose them off with
your garden hose in case they do have unwanted critters. Check the underside of the
leaves really well.
*Plant spring blooming bulbs in October and November; plant daffodils and crocus now, and tulips in November.
*Hopefully, by now you have cleaned
up your garden beds and prepared them for
winter. If not, remember to clean up your
planting area of all debris and weeds, work
up the soil, add some compost and mix it
in real well, add some pelletized lime and
fertilizer mixing all this and then cover
your beds with grass clippings, or straw or
mulched leaves.
As promised in my September 14, 2011
gardening column, I would like to offer
some additional plants that are deer resistant. In September I listed the following;
Butterfly Weed, Bergenia, and Coral Bells,
better known as Heuchera. Below are a few
more to add to the list.
Hubel Treasure Epimedium – This is a
hard to find species of this cultivar but well
worth it. It has very large pink and white
flowers in spring and is smaller than many
other Epimediums. It is low growing and a
low maintenance ground cover that is very
deer resistant. It likes part shade and moist
but well drained soil. The deep burgundy
foliage changes to glossy green during the
summer and stays that way through winter.
This type, Huber Treasure, is a rare specimen so may be hard to find. You might try

only person in your neighborhood to have
this rare treasure in your garden.
*Sundrops –This bright yellow
blooming perennial presents flowers for
several weeks usually starting in the spring
and lasting for months. Sundrops open during the day and close up at night. The
flower buds and stems are tinted red, in
contrast to the vivid yellow petals. Sundrops are very hardy and tolerate most soil
types. They will grow into a mature clump
quickly, especially in light, sandy soil. This
native perennial spreads by suckers, eventually forming a colony; it can be very invasive if let go. To keep it in check, every
other year, pull or dig out a few plants from
around the edges of the clump, and transplant or give away to a friend. The roots are
shallow and easy to pull out. You could establish a nice border if you transplant those
you pull out. I’ll bet you did not know that
Sundrop’s cousin, Evening Primrose, opens
at night and closes in the morning. Many
people mistakenly call this plant Evening
Primrose, but now you know the difference. Next month I hope to have a few
more deer resistant perennials for you.
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather (once
it stops raining) and Happy Gardening!!!.

restoration of the five senses.”

Make-up
Fake-outs
By Concetta Rumburg
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But sometimes you want to
change how the beholder sees
you—especially when you have
gained a few pounds, deprived
yourself of sleep or tweezed your
brows until they are nearly gone.
Here are some secret makeup
“fake-outs” so you can look flawless even when you are not feeling
it.
For the skin: Wrinkles look
more prominent when your skin is
dehydrated. Apply moisturizer before applying makeup to create a
smooth canvas. The moisturizer
fills the lines so makeup doesn’t
settle in them. Apply a foundation
primer after this. Foundation
primers allow the foundation to
glide on smoother and stay fresh
all day. Dab on a little eye cream
throughout the day to soften any
stubborn lines. If you do use foundation or concealer, make sure it
is super hydrating so it doesn’t
make wrinkles look worse.
For the cheeks: As a typical
rule of thumb, wherever you apply
something dark it will make that
area recede.
When applying
bronzer to make your face look
slimmer, make sure to concentrate
on the hollows of your cheeks (the
area directly under your cheekbones). To apply, suck in your
cheeks like you are drinking from
a straw and blend the brush back
and forth. Also, dust the bronzer
across your temples and then
blend it into and below the jaw
line. Using a slightly darker shade
of tinted moisturizer will also
have a more slenderizing effect on
the face. Dusting on a little shimmer can make cheekbones look
higher.
For the eyes: To help your
eyes appear more rested, apply
chilled chamomile tea bags to your
weary peepers. They can help
calm and de-puff tired-looking
eyes. After a bit, remove them and
slather a light-diffusing eye cream
under the eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Also, you
can use a peach color over your
eyelids. The peach color will even
out your lid of any redness and
brighten the skin so you look more
awake. Don’t forget to apply concealer to the inner corners of the
eyes, where most people are naturally dark.
For the lips: Using the tip of
your finger or a clean lip brush,

dab a very small amount of pearl
colored highlighter right on the
edge of the bow of the lip near
your lip line. Applying something
that is a highlighter to an area to
make that area protrude will give
the appearance that lips are a little fuller. Then, place a slightly
darker shade of shadow or liner
immediately under your bottom
lip and blend. You will have that
luscious Angelina pout. Make
sure to use restraint—you want to
give a great effect without looking
like you have a shimmer mustache. You can also use a nude lip
pencil to trace slightly over your
natural lip line. Follow with a
creamy lipstick or tint—the texture will add fullness to the lip—
and finish by adding a dab of
shimmery gloss in the center of lip
only. This will reflect light and
make lips look instantly fuller.
For the brow: Oh No! You
have tweezed too much. Get lush
looking brows without waiting
months for them to grow back. Use
a brow powder or pencil in a shade
that is closest to your hair color.
Start at the beginning of your
brow and add soft strokes of
color—what makeup artists call
“feathering. This will make brows
look most natural, not obviously
penciled-in. Finish by brushing on
an eye shadow—again, closest to
your hair color—to polish off the
look. It works every time.
Now, you know some of the secrets many makeup artists use.
Tell your friends, they can all use
make-up to fake-out too!

the lobby and throughout the building the blue and white walls provide
a calming effect to all who enter. The
WCDC features many different
areas, specifically designed to provide its clients with life skills and
abilities.
There is a supported employment
center where clients can practice for
interviews, learn job skills and work
with job coaches to find employment
locally. Down the hall is a workroom
where clients learn to package products and perform basic job skills.
Residents also do a number of activities on a daily basis. WCDC has a
full sized industrial kitchen where
clients learn to cook and professional
laundry facilities where clients wash
the sheets and bedding. Attached to
the back of the building is a greenhouse where residents grow tomatoes, herbs and micro greens, some
of which are distributed to local
restaurants. Residents also learn
janitorial skills and keep the entire
developmental clean and tidy on
their own.
Clients, staff, and visitors alike
were excited and happy as the grand
opening ceremony began. The Cedar
Chapel Special School Choir sang
“The Star Spangled Banner” after
WCDC Board President Mik Megary
welcomed everyone. The choir then
sang a beautiful rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly,” which received a
standing ovation by the crowd. Afterwards, Executive Director June
Walker spoke about how it had been
difficult to get through the years
zoning

medical center located on the north
side of Route 589 and west of Route 90.
This is the first phase of a multi-phase
complex Mr. Gillis hopes to construct
on the site.
Commissioners reviewed plans for
the proposed construction of a 78 unit
motel located on the southerly side of
Route 50, east of Keyser Point Road adjacent to the Alamo Motel in West
Ocean City.
In related matters, the Technical
Review Committee will meet today at
1 p.m. in the board room of the Worcester County Government Center in
Snow Hill. The committee is expected
to review plans for the Arden Center, a
22,000 square foot, four building office
after the fire, “We’re in pretty good
shape, for the shape we’re in became
our motto during the hard times,”
she stated. Mrs. Walker continued
on to thank all those who had helped
with the funding, construction and
support of the new building, “The
outpouring of community support
still warms my heart,” she said as
she smiled.
Delegate Norm Conway also
spoke at the ceremony. Mr. Conway
has been involved with WCDC since
before the old building burned down
and visited the new building several
times during construction, “It’s been
a real pleasure to watch this facility
take shape,” Mr. Conway stated. He
spoke excitedly about the future of
the Developmental Center saying,
“Today is a great day for WCDC. It
will offer opportunities for many
years to come.”
Program Director Jack Ferry
spoke about the importance of teaching clients work skills. Mr. Ferry
lines up work experience and various
other programs at the center. “Our
future is in work,” Mr. Ferry explained, “Most of us don’t realize
how important work is.” Mr. Ferry
went on to describe the satisfaction
that work can bring to the clients
and how it will help them better
themselves and their community.
“You came here as friends and you’re
leaving as family,” Mr. Ferry stated
as he thanked everyone involved in
making WCDC a success. Mr. Ferry
summed up the excitement of the
grand opening ceremony by calling
out to the crowd, “With all that’s
going on, our future is so bright, we
gotta wear shades!”
and retail use development to be located on the east side of Main Street in
Berlin, just south of Route 50.
Also to be reviewed is the proposed
construction of a 7,990 square foot
building consisting of a Chipotle
restaurant and a Mattress Warehouse.
It is to be located in the Seaside Village
in West Ocean City.
The Worcester County Board of
Zoning Appeals will hold public hearings on Thursday, October 13 in the
board room of the Worcester County
Government Center in Snow Hill.
Among the cases to be heard are several applications by Bloosurf, LLC requesting special exceptions to install
telecommunication facilities on county
structures in order to provide high
speed internet service to rural areas of
the county.
Ocean Pines Dog Park
6 Weeping Willow Court Ocean Pines, MD 21811
Greetings:
We need your help! The Ocean Pines Association has approved the
creation of a community dog park at Manklin Meadows. The cost of the
project is $30,000, half of which needs to
be raised through
community efforts.
The three-quarter
acre fenced facility will
include two enclosures, one for smaller
dogs and one for larger
dogs. It will also include
dog watering stations.
The park will provide dog owners a
place to exercise their four-legged companions who will be able
to play in a safe and pleasant environment.
The Ocean Pines
Dog Park committee is
spearheading the community fundraising effort.
We need your help to
raise the community portion of the construction
costs, $15,000. Your donation will help create a
useful and worthwhile new amenity for the community.
Your consideration of a donation is greatly appreciated. Donations can
be sent to: Ocean Pines Dog Park, 6 Weeping Willow Court, Ocean
Pines, MD 21811. All funds are
being deposited into
a special account at
Taylor Bank.
Sincerely,
Jack Levering
Chairman
