OCEAN PINES – Sharyn O’Hare, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Ocean Pines office and chairperson for the 1st Annual Worcester County Veteran’s Memorial Golf Tournament at Ocean Pines, is calling for event participants and sponsors. The tournament will be held Oct. 3 at the Bay Club in Berlin and begins with a continental breakfast at 8 a.m. Tee off is 8:30 a.m. and participants will enjoy prizes, contests and giveaways. The fee to participate is $75 per person.
Additionally, there will be a Dinner Show Extravaganza that evening at the Carousel Hotel beginning with cocktail hour at 5 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by entertainment provided by The Fabulous Hubcaps. The cost for the dinner and show is $65 per person. A combo price for the tournament and dinner show is $125 per person.
Various levels of sponsorship can be purchased and all proceeds go to the Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization entirely supported by tax-deductible donations. If you are not a golfer, you are asked to consider a ‘tee sponsorship’ at a cost of only $100. This can be made in memory of a loved one, or in your business or organization name. Your name will appear in the program for the Extravaganza.
"Fund raising is what keeps the flags flying at the Memorial," said O’Hare. "It has been the generosity of our local residents that built this Memorial, and we look to the community to help us maintain it. Every year we are committed to a program for Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. This year we also remember those who perished on Patriot’s Day, Sept. 11. Hundreds of people attend these ceremonies every year."
Adds O’Hare, "We are also committed to bringing school children to the Memorial. They get to hear stories about true heroes – those who have fought for and given their lives for our country. The educational phase of our program, which began this spring, is something we want to expand and your generous donations can help us reach that goal."

New Technology At PRMC
SALISBURY – Peninsula Regional Medical Center has accepted delivery of state-of-the-art technology to further expand its minimally invasive surgery (MIS) capabilities. Peninsula Regional is the first and only facility on the Delmarva Peninsula to offer this revolutionary technology utilizing the da Vinci® S High Definition (HD) Surgical System robot.
The da Vinci® S HD Surgical System robot is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology. The system allows a surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site. The magnified, three-dimensional view the surgeon experiences enables him/her to perform precise surgery in complex procedures through small surgical incisions. The system makes it possible to convert complex procedures in a broad range of surgical specialties from open surgeries to those using minimally invasive techniques.
The da Vinci® S HD Surgical System robot allows a surgeon greater visualization, enhanced dexterity, precision and control and superior ergonomics. Multiple clinical studies have shown that the robot offers patients shorter hospital stays, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss and transfusions, less scarring and faster recovery.
Over the next few weeks, the system will be installed in one of the Medical Center’s surgical suites. Initially it will be used by surgical teams to perform urologic and cardiac surgeries.
