According to a letter from District Engineer James Meredith from the State Highway Administration, the de- velopment proposes to use the existing access along Stephen Decatur Highway. That access will need to be brought to state standard, with accompanying ac- celeration/deceleration lanes and widening for a bike lane, Meredith wrote.

This year’s primary sponsor was M&T Bank and the event once again took place at Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club. Each holiday season, Delmarva comes together for the opportunity to provide local children with a little “Peace on Earth.” Since 1992, Santa’s Open has been a source of joy and community sup- port for families facing adversity. As part of a golfer’s registration, each in- dividual also donated a toy, which was then distributed to a child who lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and is enrolled in the BBBSES program. In addition to a round of golf, par- ticipants were able to enjoy a breakfast check-in, lunch with refreshments, a closest to the pin competition, and a hole-in-one contest for a chance to win a vehicle from Pohanka of Salis- bury. This year’s top team was Team Odell, and for the second year in a row, Team Wankmiller finished in the top two, placing second. This event could not be possible without sponsors, volunteers, staff, the golf committee and all of the at- tendees. BBBSES is very grateful and thankful for their devotion to help the community children reach their po- tential.

Get vaccine info from the source People who have been complaining about the lack of in- formation on the local covid-19 vaccination program, or are confused about who gets vaccinated when and where, should be sure to tune into a first-of-its kind online town hall meet- ing Monday. Created via a partnership between Atlantic General Hos- pital in Berlin, TidalHealth in Salisbury, and the health de- partments of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties, the “Tri-County COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall” is an unprece- dented approach to addressing this area’s worst public health problem in generations, and maybe ever. From 4-5 p.m. Monday, experts from these hospitals and agencies will explain the details of this almost unimaginable effort to save lives, to prevent devasting illness and to save the economy. They will answer questions from the public as well. They know, as do so many residents of this region, that re- liable information has been in short supply since last March. They also know it’s not their fault, as the disjointed rollout of the vaccination program was a national circumstance caused by the absence of a real plan to get the job done. Moreover, as one healthcare professionals observed re- cently, the vaccine delivery system was poorly organized from the start, as it depended on the same frontline people Letters who were struggling to care for deathly ill covid patients to volunteers.

I have to try to figure out what to cook for the family. Oh, the drudgery. There is truth to the old maxim that the cobbler’s chil- dren have no shoes, or the plumber’s pipes always leak (perhaps that is a little too personal to make public, so I’ll recant that after publica- tion.) You see, I really don’t care to cook at home. I do it when I teach and I cook at both By Paul Suplee, restaurants when needed, MBA, CEC, PC-3 and I’m just an old, salty son of a gun when it comes to it. Yet, I do understand that my kids deserve to eat. And that’s about where I stop. I am a terrible fa- ther. At least I can admit it while stocking the pantry with cans of soup, cellophane-wrapped Japanese and Korean ‘noodle specialties’ (I made it through college and most of my bachelorhood on those things, so don’t knock them) and cereal. This weekend, however, I plan on bringing an old classic back that I haven’t made in a while; the frittata. And, I am embarrassed to say that I have always noted that the frittata is Spanish. I was wrong, and I am glad to have been cor- rected. Apparently, ‘frittata’ is the Italian word for this wonderfully eggy creation, while the Spanish call it a ‘tortilla’….although not that tortilla. So what exactly is a frittata? Simply put, make a quiche and put it straight into a pan instead of dough, and you get a frittata…I mean a tortilla…but not that tortilla.
