Center ducks Donald Ward carving competition had first dibs on building

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Before Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump scheduled a rally at Stephen Decatur High School for Wednesday evening, the GOP front-runner wanted to stage his event in Ocean City.

The thing was, though, the ducks took precedence.

Sometime last week, Trump’s campaign representatives had contacted officials about the possibility of renting the Roland E. Powell Convention Center for the night, according to city Communications Manager Jessica Waters.

“The center was previously held for another event so we could not meet that specific date,” she said. “To my knowledge, the city officials were flexible with the date but his representatives had other appearances scheduled.”

That previously scheduled event at the convention center is the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition, sponsored by the Ward Museum in Salisbury. This weekend competition, which begins Friday, features about 1,200 different waterfowl carvings and sculptures by artists from around the world and requires days of preparations beginning on Wednesday.

“We wouldn’t have wanted to turn them down, but the Ward Museum and foundation have been in a relationship with us for 30 years. We didn’t want to jeopardize that. Business is business,” convention center Director Larry Noccolino said.

Trump’s representatives were interested in renting the convention center See PRESIDENTIAL Page 7

PASSIVE RESISTANCE A racially-diverse crowd of protestors line the streets outside of the Donald Trump rally at Stephen Decatur High School on Wednesday night. Police, some in riot gear, surrounded citizens.

Thousands gather in Berlin to see Trump’s stump speech Fresh off decisive victory in New York, candidate shares polarizing views with crowd

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (April 22, 2016) They parked in cornfields and waited by the thousands for several hours outside Stephen Decatur High School on Wednesday evening, all for the opportunity to see, hear or even catch a glimpse of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Some would and some would not, as the size of the crowd was perhaps three times greater than what the school could hold.

The lines wrapped around the enormous makeshift parking lot, tucked between farmland and a former Harley-Davidson store, now gone out of business. State and local

police guided traffic — cars and people —and swept the area with German shepherds.

At around 4 p.m., the first Trump supporters filed in through the school towards the gymnasium, which, on a good day, can hold maybe a thousand people.

Tickets given out for the event were said to be in upwards of 20,000, and police estimated 10,000 attended. Some of the overflow was taken to satellite locations inside Decatur, where, through streaming video, they watched the first presidential candidate to speak in the area since John F. Kennedy in 1960.

Inside the gym, supporters, many carrying signs and cheering as they walked through the double doors, climbed into the bleachers. Others formed a standing-room-only crowd around a small stage set up toward See CANDIDATE Page 6

Candidate mocks Clinton, predicts victory television celebrity arrived a half hour late, at about 7:30 p.m. having flown into Salisbury airport and then traveled by escorted motorcade down a cleared Route 50 to Berlin. He spoke for just less than 45 minutes, starting with the topic of his decisive primary election victory in New York the day before.

“We had a great night last night,” he said. “The media was saying you can’t get over 50 [percent]. Very hard to get over 50, even if you’re really against two guys who don’t have what it takes. Yet, we got 61.”

He went on to predict a decisive general election win against former secretary of state and senator Hillary Clinton. “‘Crooked’ Hillary Clinton will not have a chance. She’s not bringing jobs back. She doesn’t know about the economy. She makes bad decisions …

Continued from Page 5 the scoreboard end of the gym.

Protests had been talked about all week on social media, but little of that materialized on the day of the event with the exception of the well-behaved placard holding crowd lining Seahawk Road. A handful of highschoolers were escorted from the gym just after 6 p.m., although hardly anyone seemed to notice and the kids themselves didn’t seem to take their removal all that seriously, as they laughed their way out the door.

State police said three arrests were made during the entire day, for disorderly conduct.

At about 6:45, Decatur student Heather McDonough, a senior, sang the national anthem. Just after, chants of “U.S.A.” and “build that wall” briefly erupted, then dissipated.

she’s got bad judgement. We are going to beat her so badly,” he said.

“It’s going to be something that you’re going to watch and really enjoy watching.”

Trump said Clinton “should not be allowed to run” for president, and declared that the statute of limitations would still allow her to be prosecuted for her actions while serving as secretary of state.

“What’s she done is terrible,” he said. “So many people, for doing so far less – whether it’s General [David] Petraeus or others – they’ve suffered dearly for doing just a small fraction of what she did.”

He promised, as the theme of his campaign has gone, to make “our country great again.” and said, as president, he would create new jobs.

pen to be born with that ability. Jobs [are] being moved to Mexico for no reason whatsoever,” Trump continued.

“The Hispanics are great people.

The Mexicans are great people. I employ thousands ... of Hispanics.

They’re great. The problem is, the Mexican leaders are too smart, too cunning, too sharp for our leaders, and they’re ripping us so badly – and I don’t blame them. I blame our leaders. I don’t blame them. My hat’s off to them if they can get away with it.

With me, they’re not getting away with it.”

The crowd erupted into another chant of “build that wall” at the Mexican border. When Trump asked who would pay for it, the crowd screamed, in unison, “Mexico.”

“Hey, is it fun being at a Trump rally?” he asked. “Do you think this happens with lyin’ Ted Cruz? First of all, the crowd would be about 25 people, then they’d start falling asleep listening to this guy.”

Trump vowed to make the military “strong again,” erase trade deficits with China, Mexico and Japan, and lower taxes for the middle class and for businesses.

“Right now we’re the highest taxed nation in the world, and the most regulated nation in the world,” he said.

Republican frontrunner asks for Maryland’s vote on Tues.

Continued from Page 6 the regulatory [systems].”

He proposed imposing a 35 percent tax on goods sold by American businesses that set up shop overseas.

“One of two things will happen; they’ll either pay the tax and we’ll make a fortune, or, mostly likely, they won’t leave … that’s probably more likely,” he said.

“We’re going to be tough. We’re going to be smart. We’re not going to be so politically correct,” Trump continued. “And we’re going to bring our jobs back.”

With Maryland set to hold its Primary election on Tuesday, Trump said voters would cast the “most important” ballots of their lives.

“You’re going to remember this evening when you look back … when you go to vote, you’re going to really say something,” he said. “On Tues-

day, you’re going to vote. And that’s when our country will have started, because that vote is very important.

“The vote from Maryland is very, very important. “We’re going to do things that have never been done before. We’re going to make, not only our country great, we’re going to make our country better than ever before,” Trump continued.

“Go out and vote on Tuesday.

Make yourself proud. You’re going to be proud of your president – I don’t care so much about that – but you are going to be so proud of your country again.”

After he finished speaking, Trump stayed to sign autographs for hundreds of supporters who flocked around the staging area.

Others, no less energized, rushed outside, hoping to find their cars in the dark, in the cornfield.

Presidential candidate visit first to shore since Kennedy Continued from Page 3 for Tuesday and Wednesday. That would have given Secret Service agents a day to conduct a security check of the building and for campaign staff to conduct sound checks and begin setup the following afternoon.

Trump’s staffers requested the main exhibit hall, which is 45,000 square feet and has 788 theater seats.

Renting the facility for two days would cost $10,800 in total.

“That’s the same price we would have charged anyone,” Noccolino said.

“They were expecting 10,000 people for the rally, and the halls are only place that could accommodate that.”

As it turned out, moving the rally to the school did have the advantage of costing less. Worcester County Schools’ Public Relations Coordinator Carrie Sterrs said the Trump campaign is renting the facility for $4,992, per the Board of Education’s policy.

Trump’s visit is first time a presidential candidate has visited the Eastern Shore in 56 years. Sen. John F. Kennedy toured the peninsula on May 14, 1960 and landed in Salisbury in the afternoon. His campaign trip began in Cecil County before winding its way down through Centerville, Easton, Cambridge and, eventually, to Salisbury.

Three days before the Maryland Democratic primary election, Kennedy addressed health care needs of older citizens in a speech in Salisbury. That program became Medicare five years later.

That Eastern Shore campaign, however, was not the first time.

Kennedy visited the area: he gave an address on “Urban Problems” to the Maryland Municipal League in Ocean City on June 16, 1959. That was before there was an Ocean City convention center, which would open 11 years later, 46 years ago this month.

Vote for local, national nominees County will cast ballots for presidental, senate, Board of Ed. candidates, Tuesday

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Those expecting to cast a vote for just their preferred candidate during Tuesday’s primary are in for a surprise, as candidates, delegates and possibly even a school board election are included on ballots.

Maryland holds a closed primary, which means voters must be registered as Democrat or Republican to vote in their party’s election. Voters in School Board District 3, however, can vote in that election regardless of party affiliation.

In that race, two candidates are challenging longtime board member Sara Thompson — Shirley Bunting Moran and Francis Gebhart.

School District 3 consists primarily of the Berlin and West Ocean City areas, according to the county board of elections.

“The Maryland primary will be held between 7 a.m. — 8 p.m. on April 26. Voters can look at their specimen ballot for their polling place,” Patti Jackson, director of the Worcester County Board of Elections said.

All in all, the county will be offering 20 voting sites.

“We’re using a new optical scan Some delegates are committed, voting system,” Jackson said. Voters which means they have promised to will fill in bubbles corresponding to vote for a particular candidate, their preferred candidates, and a though the rules governing what that scanning device will tabulate the data, promise actually entails varies by combining the need for a paper trail party and other factors. with the efficiency of a machine.

Worcester County holds school board election next week

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) In addition to the presidential primary this Tuesday, April 26, voters will have six candidates to consider for the Worcester County Board of Education.

The Board of Education makes policies, rules, regulates conduct, prepares budgets and manages the entire school system in Worcester County. The main goal is to provide the best education possible for every student in all 14 schools.

About a dozen Board of Education members are responsible for appointing the superintendent of schools, determining educational and instructional policies, maintaining programs on educating children with disabilities, appointing personnel, establishing salaries, designating school attendance policies, adopting a school calendar and approving curriculum materials.

Public school board meetings are generally held on the third Tuesday of every month in Newark at 12:30 p.m., where instructional programs are presented, and discussions range from building maintenance to the operating budget and construction of schools.

There are three contenders for the Worcester County Board of Education See CONSTITUENTS Page 11

hart said. “This is the highest per-student spending in the state of Maryland.

Yet, according to usnews.com, Stephen Decatur High School ranks number 57 [out of 244] in the state. Why?” McComas, who is running for the District 5 seat, has been a teacher for 30 years.

“As priorities have shifted in the educational world, the lives of both our students and teachers have been affected, not always in a positive manner,” McComas said. “I hope to add another diverse set of opinions to our school board based on my experience and knowledge.”

She vowed to listen to all concerns and ideas from teachers, students and all members of the community, regarding Worcester County schools.

“Education makes up 50 percent of our county budget,” McComas said.

“Although our present board has done an admirable job, we need to pay closer attention to details in spending our money more wisely, particularly with school construction.”

McComas believes teachers are the most valuable resource, and deserve to receive fair compensation for their time and commitment to their students.

“Our school board must honor contracts,” McComas said. “To not live up to step increases – already promised – is wrong. Hopefully, this can be addressed in future years.”

Terry believes an educational system is the foundation for a having high quality of life, and is a huge component to supporting positive development.

“Individual and community interest and attention to education is critical to the system having access to the tools and resources it needs,” Terry said. “An educational system requires diversity of input from those outside its professional educational circles, to assure broader linkages to the community and resources are present to drive maximum success.”

Terry promised to listen and work with a broad range of people from across the community, to assure investments in education are used properly.

“We must continue to find those areas needing improvement,” Terry said.

“Another of my interests comes from my educational background in having a masters in technology management.”

He spent more than 30 years in the technology business sector, and said he will use his background to support ongoing advancements in digital equipment and student access to tools needed for job preparation.

“It is my hope to bring years of business experience in crafting and managing multimillion dollar budgets, serving in leadership roles directing professionals, and overseeing a wide range of departments and functions,” Terry said. “My ultimate passion is to support the education of our communities’ youth. We must graduate young people who are aware of the need for lifelong learning, but are prepared for their chosen next steps in life.”

Barry Brittingham is running unopposed for the District 2 seat.

Constituents select between six contenders for districts Continued from Page 8 District 3 seat: incumbent Sara Thompson, Shirley Bunting Moran and Francis Gebhart. Meanwhile, in District 5, Tom Terry will face Elena McComas.

Thompson, who is in her 22nd year on the board, is the longest serving board of education member in Maryland.

“I like what I do,” Thompson said.

“I love the kids and working with everybody.”

She said encouragement from constituents and community members, asking her to not give up the school board, led to her decision to run for reelection.

She wants to see a replacement school for Showell Elementary, continue with the digital conversion initiative, and add a turf football field to Stephen Decatur High School.

“My goal is to continue to see that every child in the county gets a good education, with excellent teachers and safe buildings,” Thompson said.

Challenger Shirley Bunting Moran has spent 46 years in education as a teacher, school counselor and in a supervisory position at the central office in Worcester County. She was named Worcester County Teacher of the Year in 1992, and graduated from Stephen Decatur High School.

“I have the experience and the knowledge to be a productive member of the school board,” she said. “Worcester County has an excellent school system, and I want to build on that excellence.”

Her goals are to provide a safe and productive learning environment for all students, regardless of their ethnicity, economic status, or other factors that may inhibit their learning.

Moran also wants to develop a closer bond with the Worcester County Commissioners, and ensure the schools are equipped with proper technology.

“Our children need the best teachers, the best schools, and the best education that we can give them,” Moran said.

“They need to know that they are supported, are safe, and are respected. I am committed to making all of our students successful in school and in their postgraduation choices.”

The third contender, Francis Gebhart, said he believes in a curriculum that incorporates family and local community values, instead of adopting Common Core policies from state or federal government officials.

“I oppose the federal government mandated Common Core curriculum being applied to local education, and question any educational benefit of excessive and burdensome testing that is associated with Common Core,” Gebhart said.

Gebhart said he also is concerned with the data being collected on students and who has access to the information.

In addition, he thinks there should be more community transparency from the school board and administration, by holding quarterly town hall meetings and having school board meetings recorded and posted online.

“Each year, Worcester County spends over $17,000 per student,” Geb-

Arrest made in connection with downtown cottage fire Doerr charged with arson, malicious destruction of property in March 11 blaze

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 22, 2016) Matthew Raymond Doerr, 51, of Ocean City was arrested on April 15 and charged with arson and malicious destruction of property for his alleged involvement with a house fire at 19 St. Louis Ave. in Ocean City.

At 12:34 a.m. on March 11, police were dispatched to the two-story, single-family cottage and found it “well involved” in fire, according to a release by OC Communications Manager Jessica Waters. Firefighters, according to Waters, arrived shortly thereafter and quickly brought the blaze under control.

Witness statements reported by Waters included accounts of Doerr stating his intent to burn down the house, and reports of him leaving his property and traveling toward 19 St. Louis Ave. shortly before the building caught fire.

The fire suspected to be caused by Doerr is one of several in the same area to have burned within the last 14 months.

Last September, according to OC Fire Marshal David Hartley, 27 St. Louis Ave.

— four houses away from 19 — was also substantially damaged by fire. This fire remains under investigation.

In February 2015, De Lazy Lizard Brewpub, located at 25 N. Philadelphia Avenue, caught fire several times before it was finally demolished and replaced by a parking lot.

Doerr has faced misdemeanor charges in the past in Worcester County, but these allegations are the most serious.

Doerr was seen by a district court commissioner and is being held on $500,000 bond at the Worcester County Jail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 13 at District Court in the Public Safety Building on 65th Street.

Old concrete plant waits on zoning change rant and hotel downtown.

During discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission, attorney Joseph Moore said that the landowners he represents are filing for an inlet district (I-1) designation.

“We would like to conform to the downtown’s design standards, the purpose is for commercial use for mainly pedestrians,” Moore said during Tuesday’s session.

Currently, the lot that runs east along St. Louis Avenue, is divided between manufacturing (M) and downtown mixed-used (D-MX) designations. Since D-MX is defined as properties for commercial and personal services by the city code, only the manufacturing designation would need to be removed.

The last time the plant sat on the property was in 2013, when contrac-

tors removed two towering silos and other remnants of the operation. Its original owner, George Bert Cropper, died in 2005 at 96 years of age. The land was sold at auction for $4.1 million in 2013 to members of the Gudelsky family, who developed much of the Sunset Marina and Martha’s Landing areas.

According to rough business plans, the hotel would be eight stories tall and would include a public bayside boardwalk. But before the property owners settled on a building blueprint, they had some concerns about a longdiscussed idea for a new Route 50 bridge.

In 2013, the state formally selected, and the federal government approved, a 30-foot-tall drawbridge that would run parallel to the existing structure.

Those plans would send the bridge directly through the concrete plant’s lot, Moore said.

“Our plan is to move the hotel as

north as possible. Obviously, we’re not going to build a hotel only to have it condemned,” he said.

There is no guarantee when the bridge will get off the ground, since it is projected to cost about $300 million.

“The SHA is so vague about their plans, that Terry [McGean, city engineer] said even he has no notion when they’re going to do it, how they’re going to do it and where the money’s coming from.”

Questions about the bridge’s placement aside, the Planning and Zoning Commission seemed receptive to the idea of turning that land into a commercial space instead of letting sit vacant.

“Clearly it has to be re-zoned. It can’t stay manufacturing,” said commission member Lauren Taylor.

A public meeting for re-zoning the former concrete factory is tentatively set for June.

City Council looking at $124M FY 17 budget Property tax will bring in about $40M, small tax break coming for owners

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Following two weeks of budget meetings, the Ocean City Council on Monday approved a fiscal year budget of $124 million for all departments and a small tax break for property owners.

Although the council originally approved of a budget of $122 million for six enterprise funds and the general fund during Friday’s financial meeting, the final budget increased because of an adjustment in the pension trust fund.

“The pension trust fund was originally estimated slightly higher than

what was included in the original draft of the budget,” Budget Manager Jennie Knapp said. “That puts the total budget at $124 million and $81 million in the general fund.”

The $124 million covers six enterprise funds, three of which generate some revenue through fees or service costs. Those are water, wastewater and the golf course. The other three — the airport, convention center and transportation —need some help from the general fund.

The FY17 $81 million general fund is roughly $1.3 million more than what is included in this year’s current financial package. Revenue for the general fund includes property taxes, which contributes roughly half the total, other taxes and fees, charges for service and money from other agencies.

In addition, many resort taxpayers will see a small decrease in property taxes since the budget keeps to the constant yield tax rate, which is a fraction less than the current tax rate.

The state estimated that a tax rate of needed to produce the same revenue as last year is 47.27 cents per $100 assessed value compared to the current year’s 47.8 cents.

The projected revenue from property taxes in the upcoming fiscal year is around $40.4 million, only $200,000 more than what was generated this year.

Before the council agreed on an overall budget, members had reviewed each line items were not included in the proposal. Personnel costs took the lion’s share of the unfunded requests at $609,450 for converting several part-time positions to fill time or adding new positions.

The council maintained its policy on keeping staff numbers down and did not outright approve any personnel budget items. However, Councilman Wayne Hartman made a case to promote a part-time office associate in the building inspection department at a cost of $33,000.

“I feel strongly about this. We hired a new director, and he came to us saying that this [was needed]. I think we owe it to him to give him the tools he’s asking for to accomplish the job and get results,” Hartman said.

Councilman Dennis Dare disagreed with Hartman, claiming that the department needed more than just another full-time staff member to combat overcrowded and noisy R-1 rentals.

“I think there’s a lot of re-organization and improvements in the permitting system that we need to do,” he said. “I rather have a better understanding of the big picture in how we’re improving the permitting process.”

While the full-time position was left on the table, the Council agreed to fund two service items: the pay and classification study and the Ocean City Police Department’s request for assistance during special events.

The pay study compares pay rates

of city staff to similar jurisdictions, was budgeted at $3,000. OCPD’s request for $45,000 would be used to provide food and lodging vouchers for out-of-town officers that would help with the car events H2O International and Spring and Fall Cruisin’.

At the April 12 budget session, Mayor Rick Meehan suggested some of the revenue from new trailer permits could be used to counterbalance the cost. Knapp reported the estimated revenue during Friday’s session.

“Frank [Miller, special events superintendent] feels that there will be 900 permits printed, and only 450 sold at $50 each. That would put $22,500 towards funding for parking,” she said.

The remaining $22,500 will be covered through a reduction in the general fund’s contribution to the airport and overflow funds from a past project.

The council also approved buying new dress uniforms for the volunteer fire company, since there is no consistent outfit for the ranks. The city would fund half of the cost at $38,000, with OCVFC footing the remainder of the bill.

Other final approved budget items were high-expense capital projects such as creating a back-up and recovery system for the city’s police data, tax records and other digital information. The council approved a onetime cost of $55,400 to replicate Ocean City’s network and host it in a different location than the public safety building. An additional $54,000 was appropriated for a separate data recovery system to be administered by a third party in case of an emergency.

In addition, city officials also approved a last-minute request for $135,000 to establish fiber optic internet connection for City Hall, the Beach Patrol headquarters and the Dorchester Street fire station.

According to City Engineer Terry McGean, the city’s network connectivity is over a wireless connection that relies on antennas placed near water towers. Two of the resort’s See BUDGET Page 18

Transit manager hunt starts over Search begins anew when final candidate rejects offer after weeks of negotiations

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) After two months and a national search, Ocean City officials have found themselves back where they started — recruiting applicants for the vacant transit manager position. The City Council’s search committee’s final candidate turned down the job on April 13, following two weeks of negotiations.

Median barrier concerns prompt SHA letter City Council votes to share thoughts regarding fence slats, emergency crossings

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Before the State Highway Administration progresses further with the Coastal Highway median plans, the City Council wants to put in its two cents.

During Monday night’s session, councilmembers voted unanimously to send SHA a letter to outline concerns about the barrier, which will be installed on the medians between 62nd Street and Convention Center Drive. Last winter, city officials agreed the design of the barricade would mimic a sand dune fence, but

with slats positioned at a 45-degree angle.

The letter details two issues that the council wants to address before the design is finalized in September: emergency crossovers in the medians and the slats.

Currently there are depressions in the median along the highway, to allow police, fire and medical services access to the opposite lanes in an emergency.

According to Mayor Rick Meehan, the emergency crossovers were not discussed during the original planning stages with SHA officials last winter. Since the main objective is to eliminate jaywalking and preventing pedestrians from being hit by oncoming traffic, these low-lying segments contradict what the city is trying to accomplish.

“Councilman Dennis Dare brought it to our attention that if we don’t include those areas in that need to be fences, we’re just going to be funneling people to other areas to cross,” Meehan said.

“He also contacted the police chief [Ross Buzzuro] and fire chief [Chris Larmore] and they were in concordance that it was far more important to have the fence than than to make those areas available for a limited time in emergency situations,” he said.

Along with the city’s recommendation to fence those areas, the letter also requests the SHA consider the fence slat’s orientation. The slats currently are designed to appear to drivers at a 45-degree angle. This angle gives it a solid appearance to pedestrians, but allows drivers to

see through it.

However, city officials write in the official letter, there is now a concern that the space between the slats could allow light from oncoming cars to shine through. At night, that could potentially create a pulsing affect and distract drivers.

“We ask the design engineers take [this concern] into consideration when selecting slat orientation,” reads the letter.

City officials expect an update on these two issues at the May 31 work session, as part of a scheduled bi-annual meeting between the council and SHA. “This letter should be sent out immediately,” Meehan said. “When we move forward with planning, it’s best we do this right, and do this the right way.”

National search for transit head again underway Continued from Page 18 According to officials, ridership drops to 400 per day in the winter, but later swells to 40,000 during tourist season.

The transit manager is also responsible for the municipal bus systems, Boardwalk trams, ADA Paratransit and medical appointment transportation. The position also serves as a representative to state and federal transit officials.

Adkins said that the committee’s national search includes seeking applicants through organizations such as American Public Transportation Association or International City/County Management Association, as well as posting it on select job-hunting websites.

“The current goal is to bring someone on board on or around Aug. 1, so they can experience some of the summer season,” Adkins said.

The revised deadline for applications is May 9. Further information about the position can be found at oceancitymd.gov/transportation.

County approves shelters’ grant applications Diakonia, Samaritan only facilities in Worcester to offer emergency housing

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Continuing efforts to keep people in housing and off the streets is the goal of a grant application, which was approved by the County Commissioners at its meeting on Tuesday.

For the fifth straight year, the Worcester County Department of Social Services is partnering with two county homeless shelters, Diakonia, on 12747 Old Bridge Rd. in West Ocean City, and Samaritan Shelter, on 814 Fourth St. in Pocomoke City, to seek funding through the Maryland Department

of Human Resources.

The DHR facilitates two programs: Emergency and Transitional Housing (ETHS), and Homeless Prevention (HPP). Worcester Social Services is requesting $20,484 through ETHS and $4,822 from HPP. Site visits were paid to Diakonia on March 22, and to Samaritan Shelter on March 9. Both were found to be in compliance with all mandated regulations and policies. The grant period runs from July 1, 2016 until June 30, 2017. All monies must be spent by the end date.

The ETHS funding will be split three ways, with each group receiving $6,828, which is the same distribution pattern as fiscal year 2016.

The social services portion will allocate $5,328 for eviction prevention stipends, and provide $1,500 to sup-

port a relatively new cold-weather shelter housed at St. Peters Lutheran Church, on 10301 Coastal Hwy. “It allows us to support a grassroots effort to have a cold-weather shelter up and running in the town of Ocean City,” Roberta Baldwin, assistant director of social services, said.

Following the meeting, Baldwin shared background on the cold weather shelter, which is still in its infancy and is seeking volunteers when cold weather returns.

“Last winter was the first full winter,” she said. “The prior winter they operated part of the winter.”

The Ocean City Cold Weather Coalition is a joint effort between St. Peters Lutheran, Atlantic United Methodist, 105 Fourth St., and the Ocean City Baptist Church, 12637 Ocean Gateway. Last year the same

$1,500 grant was instrumental in the group’s philanthropic campaign, said Robin Derrickson, coalition director.

“We served an average of eight people a night, but sometimes up to a dozen,” she said. “We want to reach everybody that we possibly can.”

The eviction stipends have also proven an effective means to keep at risk individuals or families in housing, with 93 percent of those assisted able to avoid homelessness.

During FY 2017, social services anticipate helping 20 people experiencing a housing crisis with stipends up to $250 each.

The $6,828 sums granted to Diakonia and Samaritan will pay for 342 bed nights at each facility, at a cost of $20 per night. By comparison, social services estimate one night in a hotel costs about $50.

Inlet, municipal parking rate increases approved by resort July 4 flat fee unaffected, but other charge hikes to be set before summer ‘16

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Visitors and residents who pay to park near the beach will have to pay a little more this summer in the inlet parking lot and elsewhere in the resort.

During Monday’s session, the City Council unanimously voted to increase the public parking fees at the inlet lot from $2.50 to $3 per hour from the Thursday before Memorial Day through Labor Day. Rates during the off-season increased from $1.50 to $2 hourly.

Parking fees also went up from $1.50 to $2 per hour for CALE machines in municipal lots and side street parking. The machines will operate seven days a week from April 1 to Oct. 31.

Currently, the only fee that will not increase is the flat $50 per day rate for inlet parking on Fourth of July. That rate goes down to $30 for those who find a space in the lot late in the afternoon.

While the resolution passed with no comment, six councilmembers spent a good deal of time debating raising the rates during last week’s budget wrap-up session.

According to Public Works Director Hal Adkins, several issues with the inlet parking lot could be fixed with the additional revenue. The parking booths are worn out and damaged by flooding during storms. Another issue is how efficiently departing vehicles are handled, as traffic jams often occur when people try to leave the inlet lot.

“There’s often long lines, and we think that might tarnish a great expe-

rience,” Adkins said. “The plan is to have all booths open this season. It’s our last impression and we want to make it a better one.”

Repairing the machines and prolonging the booths’ hours means keeping personnel on site longer. The inlet lot generated roughly $2 million in May through September 2015 with the $2.50 fee. While Adkins could not precisely estimate the revenue the new rates would bring in, he could determine the money the CALE machines could bring in based on past figures.

“The last time that the machines were in effect seven days a week was in 2012 and the rate was at $1. Taking that revenue in May 2012, that was $9,289. In September we were looking at $22,030,” he said. “If you extrapolate that, we feel the city could get about $47,000 in total through fees until Labor Day.” Councilman Wayne Hartman supported the idea of the increased fees, particularly eliminating the confusing schedule of the meter’s operations.

“So many times I’ve seen people trying to feed the meters during the week and they think something’s wrong,” he said. “They’re not reading the verbiage of when it’s in effect. Just try and simplify things, and that’ll help us increase revenue by keeping the rates fair.”

Councilwoman Mary Knight also supported increasing the fees across the board, but wanted it done sooner than later. Initially, Public Works had proposed a 2017 start date.

“There needs to be signage created and the meter software needs to be updated,” said Maintenance Manager Tom Dy. “But it could take less than a week to convert it all.”

All the fees and implementation dates will be in effect as soon as possible, after Public Works completes the work.

FBI to hold explosion demo in Worcester Co. next month Federal agency’s exhibition approved following debate on possible noise disruption

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) After confirming the blasts wouldn’t rattle the nerves of neighbors in the vicinity, the County Commissioners on Tuesday approved a FBI request to hold a live explosives demonstration at the county’s Langmaid Road Borrow Pit in Newark.

Fire Marshall Jeff McMahon presented the proposal for a demo to be held on Friday, May 6, from 10 to 11 a.m.

“It’s all small explosives and there’s not even going to be any debris,” he said. “My FBI contact tells me the noise that will be heard would be that of a normal shot that would be used at the range anyway.”

Commissioners Bud Church and Ted Elder both expressed reservations based on a previous two-day conference last held in April 2014 called the Basic Anti-Terrorism Training for Law Enforcement (BATTEL), which brought several hundred law enforcement officials to the area.

“In the past, residents of the South

Point Association called up and wanted to know if they were being invaded,” Church said.

Elder also was gun shy initially.

“I know we had that issue in the past and I understand it was a much larger explosive,” he said. “I think its kind of shell-shocked some of the residents around there about any kind of explosive.”

McMahon said this gathering is of a significantly smaller scale.

“The big difference is instead of having 400 to 450 attendees there’s only going to be 35 or 40, so the traffic that’s on the road that day is going to be insignificant,” he said. “The other one lasts all day.”

Both Church and Elder questioned the need for prior notification so area residents weren’t startled when the demo takes place.

“You don’t think there’s a need to advise the residents on South Point?”

Church asked.

McMahon said unlike the BATTLE conference, which was advertised beforehand due to the events scope, FBI organizers didn’t think a mass notification was necessary.

“The only notification that they were planning on was going door to door on the day of the event,” he said.

“They’ve reduced the size of the blast See NEWARK Page 24

West OC commission pushes bicycle path Pedal & Pedestrian group, county officials to meet on proposed mixed-use trail

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) West Ocean City residents and county officials have carved out a space where walkers and cyclists can travel safely. Now, it’s up to the Worcester County Commissioners to give final approval.

Months after state and county officials tentatively endorsed the idea, the West Ocean City Pedal & Pedestrian Committee, and county officials, have pinpointed an area for a bicycle and pedestrian path. The proposed trail would run approximately two and one-half miles off Route 50, from Keyser Point Road north to Center Drive, ending at Golf Course Road.

“The idea is that it encompasses most of the neighborhood areas around there, and that’s where most of the density is,” committee co-chair Michael Maykrantz said.

According to rough plans, the path would be made out of compacted materials optimized for bicycle and

wheelchair treads. An elevated area, but those plans often went Boardwalk could also be constructed nowhere. According to Pedal & over low-lying areas and ditches to Pedestrian Committee Chair Tres lessen the environmental impact.

Under the county zoning code, property owners along the two and one-half mile stretch would have to grant the county permission before even starting construction.

Finding the funding for the project also proved to be a daunting task.

Since the path is still in its infancy, no cost estimate has been developed.

According to Worcester Public Works officials, there is an overall decrease in Highway User Revenues, which are distributed statewide, for the county in the past year. That shortage has kept the county in a maintenance stage, where officials focus on keeping roads operable.

In January, state and county officials said that once the plan was in place, it could be referred to grant funding once it becomes available.

Despite these setbacks, Maykrantz is confident that these problems could be solved with effort.

“In my opinion, the county has not been as aggressive as they need to be,” he said. “But, I’ve been in government for long enough to know that if you make it a priority, there will be money put towards that item.”

The positive response on the mixed-use path also suggests that the project is one thing that could unite West Ocean City residents.

“On our Facebook page, there are comments saying ‘thank you for doing this, this was needed,’ that validate what we’re trying to do,” Maykrantz said.

Currently, West Ocean City representatives are in the process of scheduling a meeting with Higgins to keep the conversation on pedestrian safety moving forward.

Newark residents will be informed before blast test Continued from Page 23 to under a pound, and this is even going to be smaller.”

Elder held firm on advising the area residents.

“I would like to be able to get their input on that,” he said. “Or have some notification ahead of time to see what they think of it.”

While not entirely diminishing the commissioners’ request, McMahon also noted that the last event in 2014 was less contentious than in previous years.

“Do I expect somebody to complain?” he asked. “I’m sure they probably could, but the amount of complaints we had the very last time had subsided to nil compared to maybe three years ago.”

Plus he pointed out the shorter time frame should make the event more palatable for residents.

“You can’t get very many of them in 45 minutes,” he said.

video recording without consent for an incident that occurred on Jan. 22.

According to the report, the victim said she woke up nude in his bed with no recollection of having travelled to his residence. The report said her last memory was being in a local bar with several friends.

She quickly left the residence after waking up, called a friend and went directly to Atlantic General hospital to report the incident.

Police reported, after meeting with hospital staff, the victim had bruising around her neck, a black eye, vaginal pain and a sore back.

In addition, a sexual assault forensic examination was completed where the nurse collected bodily fluids and observed trauma to the victim’s genitals, the reported stated.

Police reported Owen adamantly denied having sexual contact with the victim and repeatedly said he never

even touched her.

After serving a search warrant on Owen’s residence, a cell phone was recovered revealing a video of the suspect allegedly touching the victim inappropriately as she lay motionless on what appeared to be his bed.

Shoplifting A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy arrested Wendy Firebaugh, 57, of Marion Station, Maryland, for theft and trespassing at a store in Berlin on April 8.

Residents, visitors flock to adopt portions of OC beach Grassroots program has 113 participants interested in keeping shoreline clean

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) When the Ocean City Surf Club approached the mayor and City Council with its “Adopt Your Beach” program a month ago, 50 people and groups expressed interest in keeping trash off the sand. Today, 113 parcels have been claimed by people, businesses and organizations for cleanup.

“Almost every day someone contacts me to sign up for AYB,” said OC Surf Club member Effie Cox, who spearheaded the program. “People are overwhelming, showing me they do think of the beach as ‘their’ beach.”

The “Adopt Your Beach” program asks participants to clean up and document trash found on a beach segment four times a year from April to November. The beach is divided by street, meaning there are 147 parcels in all from the inlet to the Delaware line.

While the initiative is open to everyone, the most common participants are local businesses and individuals.

Last Monday, the OC Young Professionals cleaned up the beach outside

the Holiday Inn on 67th Street in Christmas outfits.

“When we heard about this, we just thought it made sense to take part in it,” said Joya Mattie, the organization’s liaison to the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.

Members of the organization did the cleanup in their holiday best to promote their largest fundraising event, the United Christmas Campaign. The campaign invites underprivileged children for a Christmas gift-shopping trip at Wal-Mart with volunteers. The kickoff fundraising event begins on July 18 with a Christmas in July event at Burley Oak Brewing Company.

“Cleaning the beach in our Christmas outfits, hopefully, created a little buzz for the future events,” Mattie said.

“But adopting a beach is also a way to give more to the community.”

Gracie Ocean City, a mixed martial arts gym, also signed up with the program and will be cleaning the beach from Wicomico Street to north of 1st Street on April 24.

“We’re hoping to have 15 to 20 people rally at the gym at 10 a.m., but it’s open to anyone who wants to leave the beach better,” said gym owner Kevin Killian.

“Adopt Your Beach” is also catching on with visitors. According to Cox,

Ocean City Today

APRIL 22, 2016

Uptown beaches less popular for adoption

families that own a summer place in Ocean City are also signing up for the program. One family from North Carolina who has a summer house recently adopted a beach. Another family from Beltsville, Maryland wanted to clean the sand because they and their friends spent more than 30 years on the resort’s beach.

While the initiative allows partici-

pants to “adopt” the beach in name, the OC Surf Club is searching for a way to publicly celebrate their work. Since the program went forward without signs that recognize the volunteers who clean up that segment, an informal group/individual of the month contest has started. The friendly competition already has a front-runner in Mother’s Cantina, who adopted the 28th Street

Beach and cleaned it two weeks ago.

“I thought it may be a good way to have some fun and acknowledge some of the groups that signed up. They’re all so enthusiastic about being a part of this,” Cox said.

Right now, the OC Surf Club is focused on getting people to clean the remaining 34 streets, mainly between 92nd and 115th. After all beaches are

taken care of, the organization will consider requesting some signs from the City Council.

“I’m hoping down the road one day, the city will agree to have a sign on the street of the month,” Cox said. “It would be one sign that would change locations. Adopt Your Beach has a life of its own right now and I hope it stays that way for a very long time.”

COUNTY BRIEFS

County Commissioners hear budget requests

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) The Worcester County Commissioners listened to financial requests from various departments at a budget work session last Tuesday.

Public works Kenneth Whited, public works maintenance department superintendent, requested an increase of more than $70,000 or 11 percent in salaries. If

approved, the request would allow the department to hire two new building maintenance mechanics with starting salaries of approximately $37,000 and $27,000.

“We’re still two short of where we were in 2009,” he said.

Because of inadequate staffing, Whited said mechanics sometimes work more than 50 hours per week on maintenance calls after 4 p.m. and on Saturdays when his department is closed but many county facilities are open.

“It’s mind boggling all weekend long to be watching your phone,” he said.

“The data supports the need for additional help.”

In light of the potential new recruits, the maintenance department is also requesting more than $10,000 for mobile technology, a 46 percent increase from the prior budget year.

“Our crews have become fully mobile and we change controls on the fly,” he said. “New hires would need smart phones and tablets to support them.”

Public Works’ boat landing division is requesting $199,000 for a Department of Natural Resources Waterway Improvement Funds grant.

Fire marshal’s office Fire Marshall Jeff McMahon’s department was able to offset a 4 percent salary increase with cuts to supplies, materials and maintenance costs.

While promoting one deputy fire marshal from investigator to first class will take the department’s salary total up by approximately $13,000, McMahon was able to trim more than $7,000 from the supplies and materials total, along with more than $5,000 from maintenance and services.

In 2015 the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office investigated 125 fires or explosions, nine cases of arson and 19 hazmat incidents. Additionally the office conducted more than 2,800 inspections, along with reviewing more than 400 fire code compliance plans.

McMahon also highlighted a request for more than $8,000 to structural concerns at the Worcester County Fire Training Center in Newark.

“We probably should have an emergency study done,” he said.

“We’re having issues with windows, staircases and concrete.”

County roads Frank Adkins, superintendent for the county roads division, requested an additional $1 million, which is double last year’s allowance, for blacktop to complete road repairs.

Solid waste The Solid Waste Division has proposed shuttering a recycling drop off convenience center in Snow Hill, which will save about $125,000 annually.

Solid Waste has also proposed increases in tipping fees for solid waste. Asbestos, which currently costs $80 per ton disposed, would increase to $150. The cost to drop off house trailers would be raised from $600 to $1,000. Also a new $20 charge is being proposed for tires disposed of at the landfill.

Liquor department The Department of Liquor Control is anticipating a net loss of $195,000 for FY 17 as the county continues to implement an exit strategy for abandoning county control of liquor sales.

Harold Higgins, chief administrative officer for the county, said this figure would continue to be updated as changes occur.

“It’s a process we’re on top of,” he said. “It’s a moving target.”

OC council opts to add new Boardwalk performer space Total number of spots rises to 33 with additional area on Somerset St. making list

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) The total space for Boardwalk performers has grown exactly 25 square feet. During Monday’s evening session, the City Council approved adding a five-by-five space on the boards from the current selection of performer spots from Ninth Street south. After the vote, there are now 33 designated spaces for entertainers.

Weeks earlier, Boardwalk performers asked city officials to add the small space on the west side of Somerset Street to the designated entertainer spots they could choose from using the lottery system.

The 25-square-foot space will be on a concrete pad on Somerset, requiring an aluminum kiosk to be moved a foot back. Despite these slight physical changes, Councilwoman Mary Knight voiced concerns about the space’s impact on local businesses during the discussion on the new space on April 12.

“There’s two businesses opening up on that street and I don’t want any impediment to traffic to them in their first summer,” she said. “People often come and watch, which makes a big crowd. I don’t think it could benefit [the businesses], if they have outdoor seating.”

She suggested that the city staff ask the new businesses for their opinion on Boardwalk performers before approving the spot, but Councilman Dennis Dare said that would be a new practice in identifying spaces.

“We didn’t ask other Boardwalk businesses … for feedback. Also, [the performers] would draw people’s attention to the Somerset Plaza,” he said.

Councilman Wayne Hartman agreed with Dare, and added that pos-

sibly adding more spaces in the future could create a walking path of performances to encourage more traffic.

In the end, Knight was persuaded to change her mind.

“That’s why we have a dialogue. You all convinced me with your points,” she said.

After the resolution on the new space passed on Monday evening, Hartman asked city staff to gauge the reaction of entertainers and Somerset Plaza business owners’ response to the new space this summer.

“I feel like that it would be a great way to utilize the area and get more people to go down there,” he said.

Boardwalk performers also proposed enlarging the Somerset Street east side pad from 50 square feet to 100 square feet. Although the Transportation Department recommended the expansion because of the high foot and tram traffic, City Engineer Terry McGean did not endorse the idea.

Two weeks ago, the City Council passed an ordinance that requires performers to register for the lottery system that determines how and when performers can pick their spaces for the next two weeks. There will be two drawings for different periods: Monday through Thursday and Friday through Sunday. The system is also divided in two categories, first for 100 square foot space and the second for various sizes.

When a performer is selected, he or she chooses a space for both periods.

No vendor or entertainer can have the same street end during a two-week period. Entertainers will start performing on the boards at 10 a.m.

The new space will be presented through resolution on April 18. The first reading will be held on April 25 in City Hall. Performers can enter the building’s south entrance starting at 9 a.m., and the lottery will start at 9:30 a.m.

False fire calls cost resort significant money Repeat offenders are levied fines but collected revenue still leaves large fund gap

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 22, 2016) An examination of fire department records showed the Ocean City Fire Department and the volunteer company responded to approximately 1,316 fire calls last year, and of those, 489 or about 37 percent came from preventable sources, including false alarms.

Ocean City Fire Department Deputy Chief Chuck Barton said the department uses the restitution amount the State’s Attorney can seek if filing charges against someone accused of initiating a false alarm. That amount, Barton said, is $475 per vehicle exclusive of personnel and certain other costs.

If that number is intended to only cover the cost of the response, and if only one piece of equipment responded to each of the 489 preventable calls, the total outlay by the resort to respond to the calls was $232,275 in 2015.

“Preventable sources can be malfunctions, improper maintenance from workers or construction due to grinding tile or sanding drywall or can be weather-related — sometimes moisture gets in there and causes

problems,” Joe Sexauer, deputy fire ber of preventable alarms. In Ocean marshal said.

delivered in November, which accounts for the preceding months as well, when four condos were fined a total of $700 and two hotels were fined $900.

The grand total in fines for 2015 is $3,900.

Braemar Towers had 12 preventable calls last year, as did the Surf Watch condo, according to fire department records. The Stowaway Grand Hotel had 10, as well as the Dunes Manor hotel.

When an alarm is triggered by a preventable or unknown cause, the property owner may be required to submit a report to the fire marshal, including a reason for the activation or any corrective actions taken. If that report proves the activation is due to circumstances outside of the owners’ control, the fees are repealed.

Also, property owners can request a hearing before the fire commission to dispute, and possibly dispose of a fine, according to code.

Fire officials confirm there is no outstanding balance on levied fines.

False alarms accounted for 12.42 percent of the nearly 6,000 calls for emergency services last year, or 739 calls.

Sexauer said the resort had seen an annual decrease in service calls until 2015, when the cold winter weather caused several water pipes to burst.

COUNTY BRIEFS

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) At their meeting on Tuesday, the County Commissioners rejected bids for a pump station project, accepted bids for drainage pipes, rejected a proposed road addition, avoided paying to replace wastewater injection wells and executed a conservation easement for agricultural property located adjacent to protected lands.

Road not taken The county has rejected adding a commercial portion of Manklin Creek Rd. in Pennington Commons shopping center to the Worcester Inventory of Public Roads.

The county added three Pennington Commons residential roads to the roads inventory in January 2014.

These included Pennington Place, Emory Drive and Commons Drive, all under a quarter mile in length. At that time Manklin Creek Road, one third of a mile long, was still under construction. John Tustin, Worcester public works director, said prior acceptance of the residential roads does not obligate inclusion of commercial portions.

“We did a little research and it has come to light that those roads were not necessarily inspected, nor were they ever planned to be turned over to the county,” he said.

He referenced White Marlin Mall for a precedent.

“We’ve got two driveways going into the mall, they’re both not county roads,” he said. “I believe everything that’s in the commercial portion of Pennington Commons shopping center should not be in the county roads.”

Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw appreciated the argument.

“I agree with Mr. Tustin, we have never accepted roads that did not met county specs,” he said.

Pass the check With only one dissenting vote, the commissioners approved a memo of understanding with a local family for the relocation of six wastewater injection wells at no cost to the county.

Timothy and Catherine VanVonno own approximately 30 acres just east of the Mystic Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant. The property consists of three islands, north, south and central, with the VanVonno residence located on the latter. The central location contains six of 18 wells scattered among the islands.

The VanVonnos have agreed to foot the bill to have the half dozen existing injection wells relocated to an area closer to the Mystic Harbour facility. It is anticipated that the new wells will function better at the revised location and reduce maintenance costs.

Commissioner Bud Church opposed the measure.

“The VanVonnos weren’t responsible for these injection wells malfunctioning and causing harm to the land,” he said. “I still have a problem with the fact that they’re having to pay to correct a problem the county actually created.”

The project to rehabilitate Ocean Pines Vacuum Pump Stations A and F has been delayed as the commissioners voted unanimously to reject three bids as all were above allotted budget levels.

John Tustin, Worcester public works director, told the council the original 2014 bond issue authorized up to $400,000 for each pump station repair, for a total maximum expenditure of $800,000.

Bearing Construction, Sudlersville, bid approximately $1.8 million, followed by M2 Construction, Landisville, Pennsylvania, at $1.68 million, with Hopkins Construction, Bridgeville, Delaware, the low bidder at $1.21 million.

Tustin said the contractors attributed the higher than desired bid prices to concerns over the deep excavations involved, a lack of experience working in a vacuum pump station and the high cost of electrical components.

The commissioners will consider a new round of bids in June, but in the interim the county is attempting to inch the job forward.

COUNTY BRIEFS Continued from Page 31 the work itself, especially on pump F,” Tustin said. Commissioner Chip Bertino voiced concerns over aesthetics.

“It looks like a construction site,” he said. “When do you expect the projects are going to be finished?”

Tustin said once a winning bid is selected, which will happen no earlier than June, the projects should take about six months to complete. In the interim he said public work crews would address the concerns regarding appearances.

“We’ll do the best we can to make it look presentable,” he said.

Pipe bid accepted Looking to avoid being penny wise and dollar foolish the commissioners voted to accept a bid from Lane Enterprises, Bealeton, Virginia, to supply corrugated metal and plastic pipes, despite a competing firm coming in more than $2,000 lower.

The county accepted a bid from Lane Enterprises, Bealeton, Virginia, for $18,993. Contech Engineered Solutions, Linthicum, submitted a bid of $16,689, which is cheaper but at a

cost.

John Tustin, county public works director, said that Contech could not supply high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE), which raised concerns over meeting job specs. By comparison Lane has supplied drainage pipe to the county for several years and Tustin said changing vendors could create difficulties connecting pipes effectively.

Commission Vice President Lockfaw said he has witnessed that problem in the past.

“We bought pipe and tried to marry two different kinds,” he said. “It doesn’t work and then your inventory gets mixed up. Eventually you run into a shortage of not having enough pipe to get the job done.”

Buying the farm The commissioners approved a conservation easement agreement that will permanently protect more than 100 acres southwest of Pocomoke State Forest from future development.

Bob Mitchell, county director of environmental programs, said the Red-

den property, on the north and south side of Stockton Road, is part of the Coastal Bays Rural Legacy Area.

“It’s one of our top priorities because it’s adjacent to protected lands,” he said.

The in-perpetuity agreement will reduce landowners Willis and Kathryn Reddens’ property value by an estimated $251,000, which the county will pay for with funds from a Rural Legacy Area Grant. The restrictions stay with the title of the land regardless of future property transfers.

“The owners agreed to permanently eliminate subdivision rights and also agreed to a two percent impervious surface limit, which means no poultry houses,” he said.

Although the land is zoned for agricultural uses it did contain potential development privileges, including at least five minor subdivision rights on north side and four on the south side of Stockton Road. Under the easement agreement agricultural and woodland production are protected uses.

“This is a longtime county farming family,” he said. “This is a century farm, it’s been continuously operated for over a hundred years.”

Council holds to current maximum occupancy in code Officials include update to plumbing permit process

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) After months of discussion, the Ocean City Council on Monday agreed to integrate the updated international building code into Ocean City’s own requirements, but with some exceptions.

The resort will adhere to its longstanding requirement for 40 square feet per occupant in a bedroom for all residential properties. According to the 2015 International Building Code, the national standard for bedrooms is 50 square feet.

However, Ocean City has held to the 40-square-foot requirement since 1979. The building code also includes a 10-square-foot credit for a closet to motivate tenants to use it instead of taking up floor space with dressers.

The ordinance also altered an outdated segment of the city code that requires all plumbing and gas fitting services to be completed by a licensed professional. Under the old code, contractors would need a permit.

During earlier discussions, the council agreed that projects involving gas lines should require a professional, but there should not be a drawn-out process for property owners interested in removing a toilet or replacing a leaky kitchen sink fixture.

Ultimately, the council passed a motion to allow property owners or licensed plumbers to replace plumbing fixtures in the same place without a permit as long as the project did not involve any major changes to the piping during the March 29 session.

The new requirements are now in effect until 2018, when the International Building Code will revise its text.

WORCESTER COUNTY NOTICE OF A PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Board of County Commissioners of Worcester County proposes to increase real property taxes.

1. For the tax year beginning July 1, 2016, the estimated real property assessable base will increase by 1.3% from $14,363,311,380 to $14,545,486,183.

2. If Worcester County maintains the current tax rate of $.835 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 1.3% resulting in $1,521,160 of new real property tax revenues.

3. In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be reduced to $.8245, the constant yield tax rate.

4. The County is considering not reducing its real property tax rate enough to fully offset increasing assessments. The County proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $.87 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is 5.5% higher than the constant yield tax rate and will generate $6,618,196 in additional real property tax revenues.

A public hearing on the proposed real property tax rate increase will be held at 7:00 P.M., on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at Snow Hill High School, Snow Hill, Maryland.

The hearing is open to the public, and public testimony is encouraged.

Persons with questions regarding this hearing may call (410) 632-1194 for further information.

Hydrant flushing starts Sunday (April 22, 2015) The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin conducting the spring hydrant flushing of the water system beginning Sunday, April 24. The hydrant flushing, which is done bi-annually, will progress from south to north, beginning on South First Street and covering several blocks per day.

Currently, public works personnel are scheduled to perform the hydrant flushing throughout the late evening hours and into the early morning hours, however, circumstances may

require those times to change.

Residents and businesses are reminded that after flushing there may be a slight discoloration of the water.

This is not harmful and will dissipate after a short time. To clear pipes, run cold water for several minutes until the water runs clear.

The completion of this project is expected on Friday, April 29.

For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing, contact the Public Works Water Department at 410524-8388.

SD girls’ lax team gets late goal for 7-6 win over QA

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) Trailing by one goal late in the game, the Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team netted two shots in three minutes to come from behind and win 7-6 over the Queen Anne’s Lions on Tuesday in Berlin.

“This was one of our top two big games of the season. Cape [Henlopen] was the other, which we lost [9-8] last week,” Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said. “We put a lot of emphasis on team defense the past couple days [before the game], and that was how we played this game.”

Braniecki had to move some players around because of injuries, and with team defense as the focus, she said the Seahawks needed to slide and not allow the Lions to drive into the middle without being doubleteamed.

Queen Anne’s scored first, a little over seven minutes into the game.

Junior Claire Porter tied it about a minute later. Junior captain Lexie VanKirk provided Decatur with the go-ahead goal with 14 minutes remaining in the first half. Junior Victoria Kerkovich netted a shot about three minutes later and Decatur led 3-1. VanKirk made it 4-1 with 1:30 left in the half.

“We played super composed and when we got ahead, we slowed it down and took control – from the defense to the offensive end,” Braniecki said. “Defense, especially in the first half, was the best we played all year … We were confident, but we knew Queen Anne’s was not finished. They knew they had to keep playing.”

Queen Anne’s cut the lead to two, 24 seconds into the second half.

Vankirk provided the Seahawks with a three-goal cushion about five minutes later.

The Lions scored three goals in about a minute to tie the score, 5-5, with 10 minutes remaining in the contest. They pulled ahead 6-5 at the 8:10 mark.

Porter netted a free-position shot with 5:54 on the clock to even the score 6-6.

VanKirk fought her way to the goal and scored with 2:54 left to play to put Decatur up 7-6.

After taking the lead, the Seahawks maintained possession and worked the ball around to run the clock down, and they were successful.

“We needed this one after losing to Cape last week. This felt good,” Braniecki said. “I was happy with the performance, but there’s still things

to work on. They did a lot of the things asked of them. They played very maturely.”

VanKirk led the Seahawks with four goals. Porter chipped in with two goals and three assists. Kerkovich had one goal.

Junior goalie Rachel Florek stopped nine Queen Anne’s shots in the first half and five in the second.

“Rachel made some incredible

saves and she did a good job getting the ball out on her clears,” Braniecki said.

Decatur will take a trip to Cambridge today, Friday, to play the Vikings at 6 p.m.

“In the past two games we started making a turning point,” Braniecki said. “A lot of things are starting to come together. If we can continue upward, I think we will be successful.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) With the score tied 5-5 after six innings, the Stephen Decatur softball team tallied five runs in the seventh to win Tuesday’s game against the Pocomoke Warriors, 10-5.

Decatur drove in two runs in the first inning, but Pocomoke, playing on its home field, scored two in the second and two in the third to pull ahead 4-2.

The visiting Lady Seahawks added two in the fourth inning to even it up, 4-4.

In the fifth inning, the Warriors sent one across the plate to gain a 5-4 advantage. Decatur answered in the sixth, and the score was tied 5-5.

The Seahawks’ bats came alive in the last inning, driving in five runs.

“We really hit well that last inning and took advantage of our runners and passed balls to score,” said Decatur Coach Heather Patnode. “With it being such a tight game, it was very exciting to come out on top.”

Decatur senior captain Madelynn King threw all seven innings. She struck out seven, walked three, allowed six hits and three earned runs.

Freshman Lexi Black went 2-for-3 (single, double, walk) and had an RBI. Alex Richwalski, a freshman, was 2for-4 (two singles), with two RBIs. Freshman Caroline Cardomone went 3-for-4 (two singles, one double) and had two RBIs. “It was a back-and-forth game. We started off well in the first inning, jumping on top scoring two and then we kind of died out,” Patnode said. “We got people in scoring position and couldn’t capitalize, we made silly errors such as dropping two fly balls, [and] not covering the correct bases.

“We unfortunately have had to play people in different positions due to injuries and absences. Luckily, we have a versatile group, but with such a crazy schedule (four games a week), we have not been able to practice people in those different positions, so we made errors that normally wouldn’t have been made,” she added.

Decatur will travel to Easton on Saturday to play the Warriors at 11 a.m. On Monday, the Crisfield Crabbers will come to Berlin to take on the Seahawks at 4 p.m.

“With now three injuries, we are down to 10 players. A busy game schedule has not allowed us to have much of team practices to work on things, but the girls are great,” Patnode said. “They stay positive [and] they work hard until the end, which will allow us to improve with each game.”

SD tennis teams record 6-1 wins over Washington

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) The Stephen Decatur tennis teams both won 6-1 over the Washington Jaguars on Monday in Princess Anne.

Sophomore Laila Mirza, senior Marina Wheeler, junior Kat Harrell and freshman Grace Beres shut out their second through fifth singles opponents, 8-0.

Juniors Jenna Morlock and Abby King won their first doubles match, 8-2.

Washington forfeited the second doubles match to Decatur juniors Megan McConnell and Francesca Clubb.

“I think we are playing better, but it’s just hard to improve the lower seeds since so many smaller schools cannot field a complete team, thus leaving us with forfeit wins at the bottom of the ladder. But overall, I’m happy with the growth the girls have made so far this season.”

Junior Josh Domingo (8-5) and seniors Christian Beres (8-3), Deep Patel (8-4) and Reed Watson (8-3) were victorious in their second through fifth singles matches, respectively.

Juniors Brennan Holloway and Egor Reznikov topped their first doubles competition, 8-1. Washington forfeited the second doubles match to Decatur freshman Jonathan Petito and senior Jose Robles.

“Some of the matches were close.

Washington is pretty competitive at singles, they just don’t have a lot of players [for a complete lineup],” Decatur Coach Steve Berquist said. “I was glad to get the win.

‘We’re playing well. We’re beating the teams I expect to beat,” he continued. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement.

The seniors have been with me for four years and it shows that they’ve been on the court four years.”

Decatur’s next match is Monday in Salisbury against the James M. Bennett Clippers at 4 p.m.

Prep tennis teams earn shutouts

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) The Worcester Prep tennis teams both shut out the Salisbury School Dragons on Monday, playing on their home courts in Berlin and Ocean Pines.

Worcester senior captains Isabel Carulli and Erika Smith won their first and second singles matches, 8-2 and 8-1, respectively.

Sophomore Anchita Batra (8-0), junior Lauren Meoli (8-2) and freshman Maya Nateson (8-1) earned victories in their third through fifth singles matches.

Juniors Eva Parks and Stormy McGuiness outscored their first doubles opponents, 8-1. Jamie Gittleman and partner Sara Young, both juniors, took their second doubles match, 8-2.

The Lady Mallards are now 8-0.

“The girls had a great match in perfect weather. Everyone is improving with each match,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said. “With each

player in a new position this season, they have made adjustments with each match to overcome the strengths and exploit their weaknesses of each week’s opponents.”

On the boys’ side, playing in Ocean Pines, three of the Prep team’s five singles players shut out their competition.

Sophomore Brenner Maull (8-2), freshman Will Todd (8-0), senior captain Alex Choy (8-0), junior Adam Pizza (8-1) and freshman Colin Miller (8-0) won their first through fifth singles matches.

Juniors Luke Buas and Tate Shockley topped their first doubles opponents, 8-2.

Salisbury School forfeited the second doubles match to Worcester’s pair, sophomore Brendan Miller and junior Owen Nally.

“The boys played very aggressively, winning excellent rallies at the net,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said.

The Mallards are now 7-1.

“They have progressed well. Having depth on the team has created a competitive cauldron,” Underkoffler said.

“It is an environment that forces our players to train and compete at their best every day because the competition for rank seeding is that fierce,” Underkoffler continued.

“That should have us better prepared for Bennett, Parkside and Saints Peter and Paul.”

The Mallards will battle the James M. Bennett Clippers today, Friday, at 3:30 p.m. in Salisbury.

Worcester’s boys’ team lost the April 1 competition against Bennett 4-3. The Lady Mallards edged out the Clippers 4-3.

“Everyone has to play their best versus Bennett. We won 4-3, but they are very stiff competition,” Hudson said. “I will be encouraging their minds to be set and determined prior to the match. They will be ready for us and nothing but our best will be necessary.”

SD track athletes ‘competitive’ during meet

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ track and field team took second place, while the girls’ squad finished fourth during last Wednesday’s four-school meet in Ridgely. “Overall, we did pretty well, about what I expected,� Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “Kent Island and North Caroline are probably two of the best teams that we will face during the regular season. I thought we were competitive, so that was good.�

North Caroline won the boys’ competition with 82 points. Decatur scored 65 points for second place, followed by Kent Island (54) and James

M. Bennett (39).

Seahawks who earned victories in their individual events were seniors Tyrese Milbourne (400-meter dash, 54.6 seconds), Scott Berry (800meter run, 2:09) and Ernest Shockley (discus, 113 feet 10 inches). “The best performance that I saw [during the meet] was Scott Berry in the 800m,� Stigler said.

Seniors Ryan Beach (high jump, 5 feet 10 inches), Evan Haas (pole vault, 10 feet) and Shockley (shot put, 35 feet 6 inches) came in second place in their events.

Taking third place in their individual competitions were seniors Andrew Gottfried (400-meter dash, 57.2 sec-

Down 8-5, Mallards net 10 and hold Vikings scoreless

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team trailed the Cambridge Vikings in the first half of Monday’s game, but a few minutes into the third quarter, the Mallards took over and never looked back. “We won 15-8 in one of the best games of my life. We were just coming off of prom on Saturday [and] some of the boys had little sleep, [and] we were missing a few kids because of sickness,� Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. “We weren’t playing well at the beginning. I kind of expected a sloppy game at first, coming off the prom. But, for the most part, nobody panicked.�

At the end of the first quarter in Cambridge, the Vikings led 3-1. They pulled ahead 5-1 in the second quarter, and at halftime the home team had a 7-5 advantage.

Cambridge got to 8-5 about two minutes into the third quarter, but shortly after, Worcester gained the momentum and turned up the pressure. “We were down 8-5 with 10:13 left in the third quarter, then we shut them out from that point on. It was a sight to see,� Gates said. “I don’t know

if I’ve ever been more proud of a group of guys. It was awesome.�

The Prep team led 10-8 at the end of the third quarter. The Mallards finished the game with five goals in the fourth quarter. “Once we got within one, we just steamrolled it,� Gates said. “It was a beautiful thing to watch, and everybody contributed.�

Sophomore Tucker Brown and junior Patrick Petrera had four goals and an assist apiece. Sophomore Sam Cantello scored three goals and added five assists. Senior captain Wyatt Richins had two goals and two assists. Junior Reid Carey and freshman Thomas Fager netted one shot each.

Senior captain Ross Dickerson won 21 of the 25 face-offs he took and scooped up 11 ground balls.

Worcester senior captain Wade Walter recorded eight saves. “Wade broke his stick, got hurt and hung in there,� Gates said.

Worcester will head to Georgetown, Delaware, on Saturday to compete against the Sussex Tech Ravens at 1 p.m. “I would say right now, the boys are coming along just fine at this point of the season,� Gates said.

onds), Hyunsoo Chun (pole vault, 10 feet), junior Gavin Payne (discus, 106 feet 5 inches) and sophomore Kevon Voyles (long jump, 16 feet 9 inches).

Decatur’s 1,600-meter relay team of Milbourne and juniors Cameron James, Wyatt Davy and Billy Thompson won their event (3:49.9).

Junior Avonte Purnell, senior Zach Bernal, freshman Daymont Mercer and sophomore Montrel Moore crossed the finish line second in the 400-meter relay race (48.6 seconds).

Junior Eddie Zonnak joined Purnell, Mercer and Moore for the 800meter relay race, and the boys placed second (1:41.5).

James, Berry, Milbourne and sophomore Cade Solito were runnerup in the 3,200-meter relay race (9:09.10).

North Caroline won the girls’ competition, scoring 96.5 points. Kent Island was second with 75 points, followed by Bennett (55.5) and Decatur (44).

Decatur sophomore Diamond Rounds (100-meter dash, 12.3 seconds), junior Bethany Williams (triple

jump, 32 feet 7 inches) and senior Dayona Godwin (shot put, 32 feet) earned victories in their individual events.

Senior Emily Cook finished second in the 100-meter hurdles race (15.8 seconds), and Williams (long jump, 15 feet) and Godwin (discus, 76 feet 3 inches) placed third in their events.

Senior Katie Hofman and junior Madison Jones joined Williams and Cook for the 800-meter relay race.

The girls crossed the finished line in second place (1:57.10).

Junior Claire Billings competed with Hofman, Jones and Cook in the 400-meter relay race. The foursome came in third place (58.5 seconds).

Billings, Hofman, Williams and freshman Ivy Stearn raced in the 1,600-meter relay event, and the girls finished in third place (4:44.6).

In the 3,200-meter relay race, Decatur’s team of Alvarado, junior Peyton Dunham, freshman Dori Krasner and senior Rachel Savage took third (11:12).

The next track meet is slated for Tuesday in Centreville at 4 p.m.

WP Lady Mallards to battle Cape Henlopen in Berlin, Fri.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 22, 2016) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team led the Gunston Day Herons, 10-4, at halftime on Monday in Berlin, and in the second half, the Lady Mallards outscored their opponent 7-0 to win 17-4. “It started out a little rocky as we were missing crucial ground balls and made silly mistakes, but after we pulled together during a timeout, they were able to regroup and put some goals in the net to pull away for the win,� said Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker.

Junior Julie Talbert led Worcester with five goals. Karlie Southcomb, a junior, chipped in with four goals and an assist. Junior Kathleen Emche tallied three goals and an assist.

Worcester goalie, sophomore

Sophia Bandorick, stopped seven Gunston shots. “I think they are doing well, however, there’s always room to improve the little mistakes that we’re making.

When we do that, we’ll be very hard to stop,� Flounlacker said. “This is so important especially for our game on Friday.�

The Mallards will host the Cape Henlopen Vikings today, Friday, at 4 p.m. “[If] we’re throwing the ball away down on offense or not making that first quick step to every 50/50 ball, Cape is too fast and skilled and will capitalize on those,� Flounlacker said. “I have full faith and confidence in my girls’ capabilities and determination, we just have to play smart and all together on Friday.�

Fall Golf Classic renamed to honor Warfield (April 22, 2016) The Atlantic General Hospital Foundation is honored to share in recognizing the generous commitment and loyal service of the late Robert E. Warfield, Sr. through the establishment of the Robert E. Warfield Memorial Fall Golf Classic to benefit Atlantic General Hospital (AGH).

The tournament, formerly known as the AGH Annual Fall Golf Classic, will celebrate 23 years on Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Ocean City Golf Club.

An alumnus of Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland and Western Maryland College

(McDaniel College) in Westminster, “Bob” dedicated his busy life to giving to others in service and in spirit. A veteran of the United States Army, he served as a second lieutenant in the Army’s 29th Division in Korea, before moving to Ocean City and co-founding Moore, Warfield & Glick Realtors.

A Trustee at McDaniel College, he and his beloved wife of 47 years, Margaret “Peggy” Warfield, endowed an undergraduate scholarship for students from Worcester County who major in economics or business.

An avid sportsman, Warfield also

donated a set of tennis courts on the campus and has been an integral member of the AGH Fall Golf Classic Committee since he joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors in 1999. A founding member of the hospital’s Board of Trustees, former chairman of the Board of Directors for the AGH Foundation, he was also a member and served on the board of directors for the Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club and on the board of directors for the Maryland Economic Development Corporation and Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund.

A great family man, Warfield loved life to the fullest and never passed on the opportunity to help out someone in need. Renowned on the local links, his magnetic personality and community involvement allowed him to touch the lives of many people. Although his generosity will be missed, his legacy will persevere.

For more information on the Robert E. Warfield Memorial Fall Golf Classic to benefit Atlantic General Hospital, contact the AGH Foundation Office at 410-641-9671, or email Alli Justice Hudson at ajustice@atlanticgeneral.org.

Lynn Butler and Ken Balle, who met at Duffy’s on 130th Street in January, showcase Restaurant Week specials on Friday afternoon including homemade cheesecake and a seafood stuffed tomato with shrimp, scallops and lump crap atop a tomato all of which is topped with house imperial.

Tenth annual OC Restaurant Week continues specials

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) The 10th annual Ocean City Spring Restaurant Week is in full swing with 29 establishments participating in the event designed to draw customers to local businesses as well as provide chefs with the opportunity to show off innovative dishes.

Eateries will feature special, fixedprice menus at $10, $20, $30, $40 for lunch and dinner in addition to offering regular menu items until May 1.

“Different customers prefer different experiences and menus,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event.

“Foodies prefer more twists on the menu, while others want more traditional items, and we have a fantastic variety of both.”

There are six newcomers to Restaurant Week this year including Bourbon Street on the Beach, Hooked, Lighthouse Sound, Mickey Fins, Ropewalk and Sello’s.

“This is the 10th anniversary and it is the most participating restaurants we’ve ever had,” Jones said. “A few of the restaurants are featuring the special commemorative cocktail by Clint Dempsey.”

It is called a Limon Blossom, which includes muddled lemons, Bacardi Limon and St. Germaine Elderflower See RESTAURANTS Page 42

The crispy oysters are featured on the Restaurant Week menu and are served over sautéed island rice with diced pork belly, corn and tomatoes drizzled with chipotle horseradish sauce.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (April 22, 2016) One of the larger expenses for a homebuyer at closing is the purchase of title insurance.

Title insurance is a policy that protects the policyholder from losses that may arise from defects in title found after settlement.

And, whereas a homeowner’s hazard policy protects against potential future losses, title insurance protects against events that occurred prior to the policy being issued.

With a standard coverage policy, the types of defects a title insurance policy will cover include: forged documents, conveyances by incompetent grantors, incorrect marital statements, and improperly delivered deeds.

With extended/enhanced coverage policies, all of the standard policy protections are covered, as well as defects such as rights of parties in possession, survey disputes and certain types of unrecorded liens.

Regardless of which type of policy coverage you purchase, title insurance does not guarantee protection from defects and liens listed in the policy, or that were found in the title search prior to settlement. And, title insurance policies name specific uninsurable losses.

Some examples of items that may be excluded from title insurance policies are zoning ordinance changes, easements, certain water rights, and special assessments.

Title insurance premiums are paid at the time a property settles and there are two policies usually purchased. The first is the lender’s policy, which is issued for the benefit of the mortgage company, and is not optional.

The second is the owner’s policy issued for the benefit of the buyer and his/her heirs. The owner’s policy is optional, but usually recommended.

One area where a buyer can save is to check with the sellers of the house they are purchasing, to see if they can produce their existing owner’s title insurance policy. If that is available, there is a significant savings off a full policy purchase rate. But, this is something that is best addressed very early on in the purchase process, so there is time available to produce the actual policy and take advantage of the reduced policy re-issue rate.

Restaurants offer variety of culinary delights, some new Continued from Page 41 shaken and served in a glass rimmed with sugar and topped with soda and a splash of cranberry.

“Sello’s and Lighthouse Sound are also doing their own special Restaurant Week cocktail,” Jones said.

BJ’s on the Water on 75th Street has participated in Restaurant Week since its inception.

“Anything we can do to bring business to town, and it’s a great deal,” said owner Madlyn Carder. “I like the idea that people have different choices and it’s a chance to try somewhere new.”

BJ’s will be offering a $20 lunch menu with three courses, including the choice of soups, a teriyaki chicken Caesar salad, sandwiches, a seafood salad wrap and desserts. The dinner menu costs $30 with the choice of four courses including selections of crab imperial, chicken and shrimp teriyaki, ravioli and a New York strip.

“My particular menu is not fancy and it’s the same type of food we have every day,” Carder said. “We do it seven days a week with no restrictions. People get a bang for their buck and I hope they come back as repeat customers.”

Being a newcomer to Restaurant Week and Ocean City, Ropewalk on 82nd Street will showcase a couple of its regular menu items at a price of $20 for three courses.

“We want customers to come back and the menu items to still be there,” said Adam Horn, regional manager of Ropewalk. “It is a great opportunity to check out restaurants at good prices.”

Patrons have the choice of a house or Caesar salad followed by jerk chicken, a crab cake or low country oysters as entrees. Flourless chocolate torte or cheesecake with strawberry sauce round out the third course.

Ropewalk will offer these specials from open to close every day except Friday and Saturday.

“You enjoy a three course meal and we are now having brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in addition to our regular menu,” Horn said.

“Restaurant Week is great this time of year. Anything you can do to get more people through the door is a good thing.”

Longboard Café on 67th Street will offer two courses for lunch at $13 with choices of a French onion soup, spring salad or a deconstructed nacho. Diners can choose from five options in their second course, including pulled pork tacos, a Cuban Rueben and grilled portabella.

“We are very excited about our tacos,” said Rick Vach, owner of Longboard Café.

“We might put them on the menu full time in the summertime. We are hoping it will be a hit for Restaurant Week.”

During dinner, there will be three courses for $35 with salads and a lobster bisque as appetizer options, while a Cuban shrimp cocktail, scallop kabobs, deep-fried ribs and stuffed artichoke bottoms round out the second course.

“The Cuban shrimp cocktail is really delicious and it’s different,” Vach said.

“We played around and are happy we came up with it.”

Customers have four choices in en-

trees —a sliced tenderloin of beef, shrimp saffron risotto, pork osso bucco and a wild-caught salmon filet.

“We are excited about everything,” Vach said. “The shrimp saffron risotto was made during a cooking class and everyone really loved it so we decided to put it on for Restaurant Week.”

Longboard Café has participated in Restaurant Week since it opened four years ago.

“It is good exposure for the restaurant and gives us a chance to play around with different menu items,” Vach said.

“It’s a good bargain and also gives regular customers a chance to try something new and different. We encourage others to come out and give us a try.”

There will be three courses for $30 and four courses for $35 offered at Bourbon Street on the Beach.

The establishment on 116th Street will begin its third season in Ocean City this year and most Restaurant Week specials are on the regular menu.

“You can try something a little different then you normally would and get to sample a lot of different flavors and tastes at a discounted price,” said Barry Reichart, owner of Bourbon Street on the Beach. “The overall value is second to none. What other time are you going to get a filet, soup and a salad for $30?”

The first two courses include soups, salads, gumbo, buffalo chicken dip, chargrilled oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, crab stuffed mushrooms and a few others.

Patrons will have a smorgasbord of 10 entrees to choose from such as lobster ravioli with crab Alfredo, Bourbon Street filet mignon, jambalaya, Chesapeake chicken with lump crab, cajun catfish with crawfish Alfredo, broiled seafood sampler and a shrimp and crawfish étouffée.

“The Bourbon Street filet mignon is one of our signature dishes,” Reichart said. “After people saw me making the shrimp and crawfish étouffée on television, I can’t keep it on the shelf.”

Bananas Foster, peanut butter pie, a deep fried Oreo sundae, beignets and bread pudding with rum sauce and homemade ice cream are dessert options.

“The event brings great value for locals and we are still new enough where people are coming in for the first time,” Reichart said. “We hope they come in, try everything and come back another time. We look forward to serving everyone in the upcoming season.”

Crab Bag on 130th Street will have a fresh fish special for lunch and dinner, with a choice of swordfish or yellowfin tuna with two sides.

“This is a good time to sample fresh fish,” said Tara Wancowicz, manager of the Crab Bag. “For the price we are offering, it is an unbelievable deal.”

Restaurant Week will be the launch of fresh fish consistently on the menu at Crab Bag including rockfish, tuna, salmon and swordfish, she said.

“Come early on the weekends,” Wancowicz said. “We have happy hour drinks all day long.”

(April 22, 2016) Atlantic General Hospital and Health System will host an open house and ribbon cutting at Atlantic General Dermatology and Atlantic General Women’s Health in Selbyville, Delaware on Tuesday, April 26.

Atlantic General Dermatology is home to the offices of Curtis D. Asbury, M.D., and Sara Moghaddam, M.D. Both providers are board certified and provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis and treatment to long-term management of chronic skin conditions, as well as cosmetic services.

At Atlantic General Women’s Health, Brandi Musselman, M.D., and Nicki Akstinas, CRNP, provide general gynecology services including family planning and cancer screening as well as minimally invasive surgeries.

The event will take place from 4:30-6 p.m., with the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. at 38394 Dupont Highway (Strawberry Center), Selbyville, Delaware, 19975.

“We’re thrilled to have providers offering much needed dermatology and women’s health services in southern Sussex County,” said Jim Brannon, vice president of professional services at Atlantic General Hospital.

All the providers are accepting new patients. Women’s health appointments can be made by calling 302-524-5007.

Dermatology appointments can be made by calling 302-564-0001.

Entire list of restaurants can be found online Continued from Page 42 have a three-course dinner for $19.99, which comes with homemade cheesecake and a soup or salad. Chicken Cordon Bleu, an 8-ounce hand cut filet mignon, seafood stuffed tomato and a daily catch of the day will be the four dinner options that come with two sides.

“An item we have repeatedly done is the seafood stuffed tomato,” said Matt Bayline, owner of Duffy’s Tavern. “It is

out of this world and has become quite popular. We make it especially for Restaurant Week and are thinking about putting it on the menu.”

Bayline likes how chefs are creative and experiment with their dishes during Restaurant Week.

“We look forward to having dishes not on our regular menu,” he said. “It is a great promotion with very good deals and we are happy to be a part of it.”

In celebration of the 10-year anniversary, the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association has joined with the Art League of Ocean City on 94th Street to present “Food for the Soul.”

Artists will be paired with a participating restaurant and invited to experience a meal of the chef’s choosing.

During or after the meal, artists will create a piece of artwork inspired by the food and atmosphere.

Artwork will be featured in the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, in May. The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw diners through the doors when business is slower, and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new ideas ranging from local pubs to fine dining.

“It is a good promotion citywide and a boost to restaurants in the offseason,” Vach said.

Jones brought the idea for Restaurant

Week back from a travel summit on the Western Shore in 2007, she said.

“Our nonprofit association created the event 10 years ago to bring business to our members and offer diners a chance to try new restaurants,” Jones said. “This year’s menus showcase some of Ocean City’s most talented chefs who have personalized the menus to reflect their culinary style.”

Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. Participating restaurants will still have regular, full-price menus available during the special.

“With participating menus all in one place, diners can browse beforehand and see what piques their interest,” Jones said. “Also, diners will see the price points prior to going out so they can choose what suits their budget best.”

Approximately 1,000 carvers from the United States, Canada, Japan, England, Russia, Wales, the Netherlands and around the world will compete for ribbons, cash prizes, trophies, medallions and certificates during this weekend’s 46th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival, hosted by Salisbury University at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street.

Carvers and artists converge in OC Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Comp. and Art Festival this wknd.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Thousands of carvers, collectors and curious visitors will arrive in Ocean City this weekend for the 46th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival hosted

by Salisbury University.

Hundreds of species of wildfowl will be represented, from working decoys to bronze sculptures, with 1,500 carvings on display at the convention center on 40th Street.

“It is an internationally celebrated and honored event,” said Lora Bottinelli, executive director of the Ward Museum in Salisbury. “Having it in Ocean City gives a unique opportunity for folks in our region to see the quality and caliber represented right in our backyard.”

Approximately 1,000 carvers from the United States, Canada, Japan, England, Russia, Wales, the Netherlands and around the world will compete for ribbons, cash prizes, trophies, medallions and certificates during this

year’s competition, Bottinelli said.

“It is about meeting the challenge of fellow artists and competitors,” she said. “The art form of wildfowl carving is heavily influenced by the artists themselves. They start in novice, face the challenge and maybe 10 years later, they are competing in advanced or world’s competitions.”

Artists of all levels, from youth and novice to world champions, will compete for a share of nearly $60,000 in prize money distributed throughout the event.

Functioning decoys, life-size sculptures, interpretive pieces and decorative art are a few of the many carvings seen in previous competitions and Bottinelli said there are always surprises.

An award ceremony will be held on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. inside the Performing Arts Center.

Vendors will be on hand for attendees who would like to take a piece of the festival home with items including paintings, photography, jewelry, carving supplies, apparel, original artwork, folk art, novelty items, bronze sculptures and books.

The Kid’s Corner will offer activities such as soap carving, painting miniature decoys and lessons from a

world champion carver.

“Lynn Branson, a championship artist, will have interested children ages 6 to 14 thinking outside the box and how to break into the next level of artistry,” Bottinelli said.

Each year, the youth division participates in silhouette carving and more than 200 children in carving groups were tasked with the laughing gull.

“We have partnerships across the country and we will have quite a bit of laughing gulls on display this year,” Bottinelli said. “It is one way to get youngsters started early. Once they start painting, they may want to move onto learning how to carve the bird.”

More than 200 laughing gulls will be on display this weekend and children can get started on painting next year’s silhouette, a mourning dove, at the Kids Corner.

On Saturday, collectors will have the opportunity to bid on more than 60 original carvings donated by distinguished artists during a live auction.

Bidders can start registering at noon and the action will begin at 2 p.m. in Performing Arts Center in the convention center. Registration is free and there will be a cash bar.

Gemini, share your insight on a project if you have ideas on a different approach. If you keep your thoughts bottled up, frustration can fester and aggravate you.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

You need to take an intellectual approach to handling some trouble that has come your way. Thinking rationally can help you, as can taking time to find the best solution.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, let someone else take over the reins this week. You can use a break and this is a good chance to see what others around you are capable of accomplishing.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Consider a new approach to personal interactions, Virgo. By being more open to others’ opinions, you may get to see another side of the equation. It’s important to be receptive.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, do something spontaneous instead of weighing all of the options this time around. It’s good to be act on instinct once in a while.

This could be just what you need.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, a disagreement could quickly boil over if you are not around to put out the flame. You thrive as a mediator, as many people look up to you and trust your opinions.

The Maryland Food Bank’s “Save a Seat at Your Table” campaign launched last month in partnership with local restaurants to raise awareness and support for ending hunger in Maryland. On any given day, one in eight Marylanders don’t know where their next meal may come from, while one in five children across the state don’t have consistent access to nutritious food.

Touch of Italy isn’t just saving a seat for hungry Marylanders it’s saving an entire table. The restaurant’s Ocean City location on 67th Street has designated a special table in support of the Save A Seat campaign. Throughout the month of April, 10 percent of every bill from this table (alcohol excluded) will benefit the initiative.

Restaurant owners, managers and chefs interested in taking part in the campaign should visit www.mdfoodbank.org/save-a-seat.

I am excited to try a few of the Restaurant Week menu items from the above restaurants.

Party at Cowboy Coast in OC to benefit WYFCS CASA prog.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Help stomp out child abuse during a fundraiser at Cowboy Coast on 17th Street, Friday, April 22, benefiting the Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services CASA (Court Appointed Social Advocates) program.

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. with country music courtesy of DJ Bigler and a number of food samplings from Horn & Shell, Buxy’s Salty Dog, Guidos Burritos, Cowboy’s Roadhouse, 28th Street Pit and Pub, Tony’s Pizza and Shenanigan’s.

Tacos, beer can chicken, crab dip, pizza, pork and beef sliders are a few of the tasty treats being offered, said Carole Setzler, organizer of the event along with Joe Kendall. The food will be spread out throughout the venue.

“I want everyone to have a good time and we are hoping for a big turnout,” Setzler said. “We hope everyone dances all night and people are welcome to line dance.”

Coyote dancers will perform throughout the evening to three country songs, and Angie Ortt helped choreograph a dance to “That’s my Kind of Night” by Luke Bryan. Pictures can be taken with the coyote dancers for $1 donation.

“We gathered a bunch of people who want to dance,” Setzler said. “Our coyote dancers are a mix of older women and younger girls.”

There will be a number of raffles going on including a 50/50, costing $5 for three tickets, and a wine raffle for $5.

“Winners receive a bottle of wine and some bags have other prizes inside,” Setzler said.

Four Orioles tickets and a parking pass for Sunday, May 15, at 1:35 p.m. against the Detroit Tigers will be raffled off. The seats are behind home plate.

In addition, there will be a room filled with 200-300 balloons with prizes from local businesses. It will cost $10 per balloon and prizes include a $500 gift card from Kendall Furniture, restaurant gift cards, Ocean Downs slot dollars, Wawa gift cards, a waffle maker, grill set, donations from the Art League of Ocean City, Jim Adcock paintings and a BB gun.

Attendees can look forward to Jell-O shots, $5 bull rides and a boot-mug raffle, Setzler said.

All proceeds will be donated to the Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services CASA program, which advocates for local abused and neglected children.

“This is the third year I have helped with their benefit,” Setzler said. “As a ‘pirate,’ we raise money to help the organization. This year, I am hoping to raise $10,000 because they are really in need of funds.”

Last year, Setzler contributed more than $3,000 to the organization.

The pirate party will take place on May 20 from 5-8 p.m. at Sunset Grille in

Tenth Bloody Mary contest at Seacrets, Sun.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Local restaurants and bars will be competing for trophies, bragging rights and the title of “Best Bloody Mary” in town, Sunday, April 24, for the first time at Seacrets on 49th Street.

Ocean 98 WOCM Irie Radio is sponsoring the 10th annual contest which kicks off at noon and will feature 30 of the best Bloody Mary’s bar and restaurant employees can create.

Attendees must be 21 or older. The cost is $10 to sip, sample, judge and ultimately decide who has the best Bloody Mary in Ocean City.

“It’s a good spring event to have some fun and get everyone to come out for the afternoon,” said Josh Norwood, “DJ Wood,” Ocean 98’s promotions director. “The money helps a charity. One student from each county is given $1,000 toward college expenses.”

Ocean 98.1’s own DJ Magellan will provide musical entertainment during the competition and Seacrets’ Spirits Vodka is the official base for the Bloody Mary concoctions.

Drinks will be judged in three categories: Best Overall Bloody Mary, Spiciest Bloody Mary and Best Presentation. The winners will take home trophies.

“There are a couple different categories for people to choose,” Norwood said. “Best Presentation offers many

possibilities and we have seen mini crab cakes to sliders and a lobster tail.

You never know what it [the Bloody Mary] could look like.”

Last year, more than 300 people attended the popular contest and voted Fish Tales’ “Crabby Mary” the top honor of “Best Bloody Mary” for the sixth consecutive year. The Bloody Mary is topped with smoked jumbo lump crabmeat and garnished with celery.

Manager Brandon Hemp recalls the first time Fish Tales entered the contest six years ago when Starboard was dominating the competition.

“We wanted to bring it [the Best Bloody Mary title] back to Ocean City and luckily we were able to win then and every year since with the support of our clientele,” Hemp said. “Why change what works? That’s what we are shooting for, we want best overall and hopefully we can do it again this year.”

The six-time defending champion and its rival from long ago, Starboard, will have a variety of local competition this year including the host, Seacrets, Smitty McGee’s, Sunset Grille, Fager’s Island, Bad Monkey, BJ’s on the Water and Bourbon Street on the Beach.

Bourbon Street’s “Ragin’ Cajun’ Bloody Mary” is spicy with a kabob full of cheeses, olives, celery and peppers, said Bourbon Street on the Beach owner Barry Reichart.

“It is becoming quite a big event

with a variety from all the coastal towns,” Norwood said. “At least a dozen new restaurants and bars will feature a Bloody Mary this year.”

Matteo’s will be back to defend its “Spiciest Bloody Mary” title, in addition to other Delaware establishments including Beach Time Distilling, Bethany Blues, 99 Sea Level, Rehoboth Ale House and Nicola Pizza. Look forward to Maryland favorites such as Whisker’s Bar & Grill, Leaky Pete’s and Greene Turtle West, as well.

The $10 collected at the door goes to the Ocean 98 Cash for College Fund, which provides money for three high school seniors in Worcester and Wicomico counties in Maryland, and Sussex County, Delaware, pursuing a career in broadcasting. The winners will be announced in June, Norwood said.

In addition, there will be a 50/50 raffle with proceeds benefiting the fund.

Each year, a different restaurant or bar hosts Ocean 98’s “Best Bloody Mary” contest.

Norwood said organizers are still figuring out where next year’s competition will take place.

In the past, the winner of “Best Bloody Mary” or a random drawing determined where the event would be held. It took place at Smitty McGee’s on Route 54 in Delaware last year and Fager’s Island on 60th Street in 2014.

The event will take place at Seacrets on 49th Street inside Morley Hall where attendees can sample 30 Bloody Mary’s from 12-3 p.m. for $10 on Sunday.

“Expect to come hang out with the Ocean 98 family and have a good time,” Norwood said.

Heirloom tomatoes, herbs, Household Hazardous Waste, flowering perennials for sale E-Cycling Collection Day, Sat.

(April 22, 2016) The Recycling Division of Worcester County Public Works, in conjunction with Maryland Environmental Services and the Maryland Department of the environment (MDE), will conduct Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and E-Cycling (electronics recycling) Collection Day on Saturday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ocean City Park & Ride Lot in West Ocean City.

Worcester County is hosting HHW and E-cycling to commemorate and extend the Earth Day celebration, which takes place the day prior to the event. Proper disposal of HHW and electronics is among the many simple steps we can take that play a big role in helping to protect the planet, and ultimately, our own health.

Drop off HHW, including pesticides, pool chemicals, gas and other fuels, oil-base paints, thinners and everyday hazardous wastes accumulat-

ing in and around the home for safe disposal. Electronic items, such as computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, radios, televisions and VCR’s, will be collected and later recycled.

Recycling HHW and electronics saves valuable landfill space and helps protect the environment, as many of these items do not degrade, and contain poisonous materials that could seep out of the landfill and contaminate surrounding soil and groundwater.

HHW and E-cycling is open at no charge to Worcester County residents only. A representative from MDE will be on-site checking vehicle registration. Clean Ventures of Baltimore will be responsible for the safe disposal of all hazardous waste collected.

The electronics will be shipped to an electronics recycler for dismantling.

For more information, contact Worcester County Recycling Manager Ron Taylor, at 410-632-3177.

(April 22, 2016) For the 17th year, Assateague Coastal Trust will offer a selection of native flowering perennials, heirloom tomatoes, peppers and herbs during its annual festival.

This year, the event will again be next to ACT’s office, steps from the corner of Old Ocean City Boulevard and North Main Street in Berlin on Saturday, May 7, the day before Mother’s Day, and just in time for shoppers to honor their moms with natural gifts that keep on giving, and are good for the environment too. The festival will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“It is always a good idea, however, to place plant orders in advance,” said Steve Farr, ACT’s development director. “That guarantees gardeners (and moms) will get the best of the plants that come from our growers.”

Advance orders can be placed online at www.actforbays.org or by calling 410-629-1538. All orders can be picked up on May 7 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Environmental Concern is the new plant vendor this year. Based in St. Michaels, Environmental Concern shares ACT’s commitment to improv-

ing water quality with a particular focus on wetlands education and restoration. It has been operating a native plant nursery since 1972 and will be providing a variety of new native perennials along with many favorites from past years as well.

All plants are chosen because of their natural ability to adapt to local gardening conditions. Native plant gardens require less herbicide, less pesticide and less fertilizer than exotic varieties, which is good for the environment and encourages habitat creation for native wildlife.

Since heirloom tomatoes were introduced to the festival seven years ago, they have grown in popularity. Heirlooms typically produce more flavorful tomatoes than hybrids.

A variety of locally grown herbs will be available, and for the first time this year — fish peppers, which have a rich mid-Atlantic/Chesapeake Bay cultural heritage and are zesty complements to local seafood dishes.

Volunteers are also needed on May 7 to assist with plant sales. For information or to participate, call 410-629-1538.

Suplee Barilla Pasta Perfect contest finalist

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (April 22, 2016) Last month, Barilla and culinary website Chef’s Roll invited cooks across the county to “represent your region” in the 2016 Barilla Pasta Perfect competition.

Locally, chef Paul Suplee has taken up the charge and was one of just 188 chefs in the United States selected as a finalist.

“The competition rates a chef’s ability to take a pasta dish and make it ‘scream’ a region,” Suplee said. “Of course, mine is a salute to The Eastern

Shore.”

Suplee created a “Casarecce alla ‘crab’onara” for the contest, which used Barilla casarecce pasta, tossed in carbonara, with a rePaul Suplee gional twist – the dish is dressed with blue crab and Virginia ham, fried in duck fat and garnished with Old Bay-cured egg yolks.

“In developing this dish, it was a no-brainer to include the blue crab, since it is freshly in-season,” he said.

“Virginia ham was a close second, and frying it in duck fat renders a delicious, rich taste to replace the pancetta with which this dish is traditionally prepared. Finishing it off with Old Bay-cured egg yolks was a whimsical way to add a unique layer of flavor to make this dish really stand out.”

Voting takes place online through April 26. As of press time, Suplee said he was sitting in second place.

“First place has a commanding lead, so obviously I would love to drum up local support!” he said.

One winner of the competition will earn a coveted spot in Barilla’s annual Modern Casual Retreat at Farmer Lee Jones’ Culinary Vegetable Institute in Cleveland, along with a $2,500 grand prize.

Ten runners-up will win a $250 leather Jende knife roll.

To vote, visit www.woobox.com/ stgrge/vote/for/14814546, and click on the “vote” button.

Suplee is an assistant professor of culinary arts at Wor-Wic Community College, and a regular contributor to the Bayside Gazette.

Gala benefits Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center Continued from Page 53 Grace Pregnancy Center has raised more than $2,700 and although it is free to attend on Saturday night, pledge cards will be available to donate.

Art Sherrod Jr. will be providing jazz music during dinner and throughout the evening.

Guests can dine on a wedge salad, beef brisket, crab imperial and mini pasties for dessert.

During the event, two 20-minute videos will play with 20 clients speaking about how the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center has helped them in their

own lives.

“Most will be in attendance that evening, each having a silent story,” Wilgus said. “They will hold a card describing what life was like then and now.”

In the video, a client will talk about how the center helped with her GED preparation and another will discuss how she built relationships with others in a young mother’s at the shore support group.

Wilgus will say a few words, and more than 400 people are slated to attend.

“There is a huge surprise that will

send a message to people and speak to their hearts,” she said. “Everyone deserves the right to have a story.”

The theme is grace, and to truly feel grace, embracing shadows or the part of ourselves we dislike is essential, Wilgus said.

“Everything is free and we are not just a pregnancy center. To stay afloat we have to do events,” she said. “We rely on auctions and grants.”

The Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center assists with unplanned pregnancies, holds parenting education classes, helps with addiction and education in addition to launching a father support

group in May. “We were quiet for a few years, but helping with unplanned pregnancies and crisis has been the key to unlock many other resources,” Wilgus said.

“We have hundreds of clients and are picking up speed.”

The nonprofit is a resource for emotional support, information on how to raise a child, important decisions in life and enriches all aspects of clients’ lives.

“We want to help people and educate,” Wilgus said.

CRICKET Center presents third Walk for Kids

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Sometimes to gain empathy, you can walk a mile in your own shoes.

Piggybacking on April’s designation as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the CRICKET Center, Worcester County child advocacy group, is holding its third annual Walk for Kids To Help The Fight Against Child Abuse on Sunday, April 24.

The Children’s Resource Intervention Center Kids Empowerment Team, or CRICKET Center, is once again partnering with Hooters on the Boardwalk and Fifth Street, to raise money and enlighten the public to the cause. Wendy Myers, CRICKET Center executive director, said education and prevention are the primary objectives.

“Are we educating people to look for the right thing?” she asked. “You have to be vigilant if you’re a parent or guardian.”

The walk launches at noon, traversing the Boardwalk from Fifth Street to the inlet and back, roughly a mile.

Those with a little more gas in the tank can then proceed to 17th Street and return to Fifth Street to cover a distance of 5K. Registration begins at 11 a.m. The cost to participate is $25.

The CRICKET Center, located at 9714 Healthway Drive in Berlin, opened in 2009 and provides a multi-

disciplinary team approach to investigating, prosecuting and treating child physical and sexual abuse, which includes child protection workers, local law enforcement officials, in addition to medical and mental health professionals.

Partnering agencies include Atlantic General Hospital, Worcester County Board of Education and Social Services, Life Crisis, Inc., and the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office.

The CRICKET Center is one of only two Eastern Shore child advocacy agencies receiving funding from the National Children’s Alliance, the national association and accrediting body for children’s advocacy centers.

Since 1988 the NCA has lent technical assistance and provided quality assurance for child advocacy centers, which are defined as kid-friendly facilities that offer a team approach to investigating abuse claims, assisting inflicted parties to heal, and doling out justice to offenders.

Additional financial support is provided by the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention, along with the generosity of community members, and Myers said all resources are utilized to assist children.

“Every dime we raise we like to go to direct services,” she said. “This year’s goal is $10,000 and we already raised about $6,000. We’ll probably

exceed it.”

Over her decade working at the CRICKET Center, Myers said the county has investigated an average of 85-100 sexual abuse cases per year.

“Worcester is generally about second in the state per capita,” she said.

According to 2014 statistics from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the average rate of child abuse in Worcester is 29 per 1,000 residents, about triple the state average of 9.9.

“You have to prosecute a crime when it’s committed,” she said.

In fact, legal mandates require allegations of child neglect to be investigated within five days and within 24 hours in abuse cases.

She noted that statistically, 85 percent of child sexual abusers are known to their victim. By definition, sexual abusers are parents or guardians, while strangers perpetrate sexual assaults.

“This is also a preventative exercise,” she said. “We have lots of options in this county to support children.”

Although the National Children’s Alliance helps channel federal funding to support the CRICKET Center, Myers said state aid has thus far been elusive.

“We are the only child advocacy in the county and we are not state funded,” she said. “It’s not about re-

ceiving funding its about the services we provide.”

The kid-friendly event, which drew about 120 participants last year, is a walk and not a run.

“We don’t race,” she said. “We do have awards for the top fundraiser and top team fundraisers.”

Walk participants will receive a commemorative token and are invited to attend a reception at Hooters on the Boardwalk from 1-3 p.m.

Myers said the event began when local Hooters’ restaurant representatives presented the fundraising concept three years ago.

“They are extremely generous,” she said. “They provide all the advertising and food for the day.”

While the horrific thought of child abuse elicits a fearful knee-jerk reaction from most parents, Myers said the key is opening a dialogue.

“You can’t be with your child 24 hours a day, but you can talk to them,” she said.

Parents can provide the preventative tools their child needs to recognize potential abuse situations and behavior, Myers said.

“People are becoming more educated but it’s a long process,” she said.

“If you see something, say something.”

Banks in running for LLSES Woman of the Year honors

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) Professional endurance athlete and fitness guru, Corrine Banks, is currently engaged in a competition of epic lengths where all participants are running to honor a pair of Eastern Shore children battling cancer.

The West Ocean City resident is a finalist for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of the Eastern Shore’s 2016 Man and Woman of the Year honors.

“I’m the only person on the Eastern Shore that is running,” she said.

Over a 10-week period, which kicked off April 1, nominees race to raise significant sums to fund research and ensure access to treatment in the battle against blood cancer.

The fundraising campaign is in honor of the 2016 LLSES Boy & Girl of the Year, Tyler Von Hagel and Colby Fowler, who were selected to provide inspiration for fundraising competitors.

Fowler, who was also the LLSES Girl of the Year in 2014 while still undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has been in remission for an entire year. By contrast, first-grader Von Hagel would certainly enjoy more time in school and less time in the hospital receiving cancer treatments.

Participants, who are thoroughly vetted by a LLS nominating committee, form campaign teams and undertake creative networking efforts to garner financial support. Personalized fundraising webpages are set up to facilitate online donations and LLS staff consult with candidates to establish financial goals and develop methodology.

“Originally I had my sites set on $50,000,” she said. “I have high goals, but whatever it is, it’s all going to help.”

Top fundraisers of each gender will be honored as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of the Eastern Shore’s Man and Woman of the Year during the Grand Finale gala on June 11 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort in Cambridge.

Last year’s campaign raised $244,000 overall and this year those involved hope to reach $300,000 in a mere 10-week period.

Banks involvement traces back to an emotional moment during last year’s gala event. In attendance with her daughter, Summer, who is close friends with Lucas Magathan, the 2015 Boy of the Year, she was amazed by her daughter’s generosity.

“Last year I watched my daughter donate money from her piggybank,” she said.

Summer’s $20 gift and a recommendation from the Magathan family combined to spark Banks’ current campaign.

“I acted on emotions,” she said. “They nominated me and they wanted me to do this.”

In a testament to Banks’ philanthropic spirit, in addition to an online donation page, mwoy.org/pages/md/mdes16/ crushincancerwithcorrine, she also has a number of local events scheduled.

On Friday April 29, Seacrets, 49th Street, will hold a Masquerade Ball from 6-9 p.m. with proceeds to benefit the

Corrine Banks is pictured with her daughter, Summer, 11, who inspired her involvement with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of the Eastern Shore annual Man and Woman of the Year fundraising competition.

LLS. Tickets cost $40 and can be purchased on Banks’ donation page. Featuring music from the band Side Project and DJ Wax as guest MC, attendees can look forward to a variety of appetizers from Seacrets menu and specialty desserts from Cupcakes In Bloom. Auction items will be offered and dress is formal to semi-formal, with Masquerade attire optional but encouraged.

Other events Banks’ campaign will be sponsoring or represented at include: Bikes to the Beach booth at Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City, from April 28 until May 1; Paint Night at Random Juxtaposition, 9928 Old Ocean City Rd., Berlin, on May 6; and a concert at Headquarters, 115 South Division St., Salisbury, on May 14.

Also on May 14, Chesapeake Martial Arts, 9919 Stephen Decatur Hwy., will host a fundraiser from 9-10 a.m. Additionally, Banks’ has teamed with the Judith M. Sunset Cruise on May 21 for yet another fun option to support the fundraising campaign.

If fresh air, natural beauty and exercise are more your speed, Lora Cole and Tana Martin will present a LLS benefit Yoga on the Beach class at Assateague Island National Seashore on June 14 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Tickets can be purchased for $20 online at loracoleyoga.com/yoga_on_the_beach.

Tickets for the Grand Finale at the Hyatt on June 11 cost $175 each with tables of 10, including advertising opportunities, costing $2,000. Tickets can also be purchased through Banks’ online donation page. Note if the donation is for tickets to either event by specifying Seacrets or Gala along with your name, phone number and email.

Never one to shy away from competition, Banks said this is more conciliatory as all the nominees share a mutual goal.

“It’s really dependent on those who sacrifice time and money to support research,” she said. “I’m going to look back and be glad I choose to sacrifice my time.”

Ramp bacon vinaigrette possibilities endless

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 22, 2016) Expertise and success do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Is a culinary writer a true chef?

Can an accomplished chef run a profitable restaurant? Does a person who specializes in cookery come across as a professional on television?

Assumption should be approached with caution; if one is not careful, the taste of disappointment can reduce

acquired potential.

If fate graces the path of opportunity, it looks like I will be making another appearance on Delmarva Life (Thursday, April 28, 5-6 p.m. on WBOC). Filming a cooking segment on television is not as easy as it appears. Even though confidence emulsifies as a main ingredient, there are many other variables to consider.

Jimmy and Lisa host the show, which means my attention will be divided. Giving them activities that support my cooking demonstration reiterates particular points I want to make. Having three people just stand there while one does all the talking is not very engaging to viewers.

Awareness of cameras is also a very important factor. Delmarva Life is not live and editing is required.

Ramps have onion-garlic flavor Continued from Page 60 However, the entire cooking segment is based on improvisation and moment-to-moment interactions. As a result, I must present my dish, interact with Jimmy and Lisa, and pay attention to the clock.

Entertaining at home may not be “lights, camera, and action,” but there are many similarities. As one greets their guests, it is showtime!

The moment your company walks through the door they are taking in the ambiance and anticipating the menu.

As a host, one should always walk through the entertaining area in advance to observe exactly what your guests will be seeing. Also, if you are serving a sit down dinner, sit at the table beforehand. This allows you to get a perspective of what your company will be experiencing.

When one is preparing a special meal, imagine your dish is going to be filmed for a culinary show. You will be surprised how many more details you will notice. These small touches are what distinguishes superlative from very good.

When I entertain, I like to introduce an ingredient or dish that will spark the interest of my guests.

Spring is here and that means ramp season (April through June) is offi-

cially in full swing. These en vogue little vegetables are considered a culinary delicacy and the ephemeral nature adds to their appeal and demand.

Ramps humble beginnings can be found from Canada to the Carolinas.

They are typically foraged, like truffles, giving them an air of adventure. They are also one of the first vegetables to emerge from the defrosting soil after a long winter, but to the untrained eye, there can be some confusion.

Ramps look like scallions or wild garlic at a quick glance, but the fuller green tops and mauve colored midsection definitely sets them apart.

Ramps flavor can be best described as a cross between onion and garlic.

You can use ramps like scallions or young spring garlic. They can be eaten raw, but are best sautéed, roasted, grilled, pickled or made into a pesto. Ramps are popular when added to vinaigrettes, cream based sauces, soups and pastas. They pair well with eggs, potatoes, cheeses, and just about any meat or fish.

Ramps can be found in specialty markets or online. The season is short so go ahead and splurge. Ramp, bacon vinaigrette is a wonderful addition to one’s repertoire of recipes.

The grilled and smoky flavor of the ramps and bacon are the basis of the

vinaigrette. Ramp, bacon vinaigrette makes a wonderful marinade, a delectable dipping sauce for crunchy bread, and is delicious spooned over grilled meats. In other words, the possibilities are endless. Enjoy.

Boardwalkin’ for Pets in Ocean City this Sat.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 22, 2016) The Ocean City Boardwalk will be bursting with dogs and their owners, Saturday, April 23, for the Worcester County Humane Society’s largest fundraiser of the year, Boardwalkin’ for Pets.

There is a $25 minimum donation to participate in the 17th annual event.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. at the inlet in front of the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum.

“This event is special because it draws people from our town as well as many from all the surrounding states together with one purpose: To help the animals,” said Heather Bahrami, chair of the Boardwalkin’ committee. “It is also family friendly and 100 percent of the money raised by the donors goes directly to the shelter, which allows us to help all the animals possible that come through our door being that we are a nokill shelter.”

Participants can begin walking with their four-legged friends at 9 a.m. Walkers can choose any route they would like, including the full 5 miles from the inlet to 27th Street and back or take the 2.5-mile trip on the Boardwalk to 12th Street and back, she said.

Complimentary photographs will be taken of owners and their pets with a red carpet laid out down on the pier, courtesy of Images by Sara.

Coffee, doughnuts and additional

beverages will be provided by Harrison’s Harbor Watch at the inlet, Layton’s on 16th Street and Coca-Cola.

Owners can also enter their pet into contests for Largest Dog, Smallest Dog, Best Dressed and Best Trick. Winners will take home a basket filled with goodies. Look forward to all kinds of prizes pet-related, Bahrami said.

Cats will not be forgotten on Saturday. Enter the annual Cutest Cat photo contest. Photos of all the cutest felines will be posted for the public to vote on.

Photos should including the owner and pet’s names, address, phone number and e-mail address. The winner will take home a prize basket full of cat-related treats. Pictures will not be returned and become property of the Worcester County Humane Society.

Individual participants and teams who raise the most funds will receive baskets containing gift certificates to local restaurants and services, hotel stays, spa treatments and jewelry, Bahrami said.

Walkers who raised $25 will receive a dog walk bandana. A T-shirt is the prize for a $50 donation and a Tervis tumbler will be given to participants who collected $100. Money and pledge sheets are needed to qualify for the limited number of prizes.

Last year, $30,000 was raised for the shelter with about 300 walkers and their dogs, Bahrami said.

This weekend, the goal is to raise

$50,000 for the Worcester County Humane Society, which relies mainly on donations and provides care to animals until they are adopted into suitable homes.

As of April 15, more than $17,000 had been raised so far.

“We can’t wait to see what the dinner and auction at Adolfo’s brings as well as the walk,” Bahrami said. “We hope to surpass last year and tried to reach out further and earlier to surrounding states.”

Attendees can adopt a shelter dog for the event and must make arrangements in advance by calling the shelter at 410213-0146.

Brass Balls on 11th Street and the

Boardwalk will be donating a portion of its sales on Saturday to the humane society.

The weekend-long event kicks off on Friday, April 22, at Adolfo’s on the Ocean at 13th Street and the Boardwalk from 5-9 p.m. that includes a choice of spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant or chicken parmesan with a side salad, rolls, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages for $20 at the door. Advance tickets cost $15 and can be purchased at www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.o rg/boardwalkin-for-pets.

Adolfo’s will donate a percentage from each ticket purchased to the Worcester County Humane Society, and See BOARDWALKIN’ Page 63

Continued from Page 62 there will be a silent auction to support the shelter as well.

“It’s a really fun event for people that support our shelter and all shelter animals,” Bahrami said. “The event is kid friendly and we will have items starting as low as $10 so that there is a chance for everyone to bid on something.”

Auction includes artwork, photography, dog and cat items, jewelry and

Plethora of activities planned during Del. Birding Weekend (April 22, 2016) The 2016 Delmarva Birding Weekend is set to bring hundreds of nature enthusiasts to the shore, April 21-24, to enjoy the full complement of mid-Atlantic birds as the region welcomes warblers, tanagers and other spring migrants and prepares to bid adieu to its loons, falcons and waterfowl as they head northward.

Birders can register for just one field trip, or multiple field trips each day of the four-day event. On Friday, April 22, start the morning searching for rails by kayak on Delaware’s inland bays, and enjoy a songbird and shorebird spectacle at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in the afternoon.

Exploring the bald cypress swamps by kayak around Snow Hill on Saturday, April 23, will add several warbler species to participants’ list, and a boat trip behind Assateague and Ocean City in the afternoon can increase the tally for the weekend to more than 100 species. Or, choose to take an all-day boat trip to Smith Island on Saturday to welcome back breeding pelicans and herons, and enjoy a slice of Smith Island cake with lunch.

Guided by local birders with decadeslong experience on the peninsula, the walking tours, boat trips, and canoe and kayak paddles will accommodate visitors from the curious nature lover to fowl fanatics. Every year, birdwatchers from surrounding states flock to the event.

“This is one of our biggest nature-oriented weekends,” said Worcester County Tourism Director Lisa Challenger. “People go crazy over the number of eagles and herons, but they will see a lot more than that birding with our guides around Assateague Island and our cypress swamps near Snow Hill.”

New trips will feature jaunts around Laurel, Delaware and Maryland’s Chincoteague Bay through some of the most pristine habitats on the East Coast. For the first time, the Delmarva Birding Weekend is co-hosting a showing of the bird documentary, “The Messenger,” with the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. The film will be shown on Friday, April 22, at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes, Delaware.

Social events for new and experienced birders are scheduled throughout the weekend. These “Tally Rallies” are held at local breweries, bars and restaurants, and provide participants to add to

the species checklist and swap birding stories with new friends.

Indeed, participants recount the event in terms of experiences rather than simply observing birds – a majestic Bald Eagle soaring over the marsh, a loon in breeding plumage catching fish, or the eerie hoot and shadow of a barred owl at dusk.

The Delmarva Peninsula is one of the country’s premier birding areas, because of an extensive variety of habitat protected by coastal parks, refuges and wildlife management areas. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the region and previous Weekend tallies have topped 200 species.

If boasting that many species isn’t enough, participants should feel even better knowing that they’ve helped Delmarva’s birds by promoting birding and habitat conservation. Birders make an important statement about the economic value of birds and their habitats through the money they spend in local hotels, restaurants and shops.

“It’s our vast shallow bays and large tracts of protected marshes and bald cypress forests that make the Delmarva Peninsula one of the finest birding regions in the nation,” said guide and organizer Jim Rapp. “During the Weekend, our guests will hike on private farmland and woodland that are normally off-limits to birders, and our waterborne trips go where the birds are.”

Co-organizer Dave Wilson added that none of the trips are physically taxing and that the event provides a rare opportunity to tally 100 species in a day in places that are normally inaccessible to the public.

Sponsors for the events include Worcester County Tourism, Southern Delaware Tourism, the Boardwalk Hotel Group, the Delmarva Almanac, Hodges Taylor Art Consultancy, the Town of Snow Hill, MD, the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, Somerset County Tourism, the Howard Johnson’s Oceanfront Plaza Hotel, Days Inn Ocean City, the Atlantic Sands Hotel and Conference Center, Fager’s Lighthouse, the Breakers Hotel and Suites, the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin, and The Avenue Inn.

Commentary

Anyone for president, but first let’s change Congress

He came, he saw, but had nothing to conquer locally, as GOP presidential aspirant Donald Trump played to a crowd that had given itself to the moment long before he arrived.

When Trump finally did walk into the Stephen Decatur High School gymnasium Wednesday evening, the audience of several hundred people was ready to embrace anything he might say. And that is part of his appeal to supporters — he has cast himself as the guy who just might say anything.

A good many people applaud that after hearing so many canned and planned speeches over the past couple of decades.

Yet, his address rarely strayed from the theme he has pushed since January: the nonpolitician giving ‘em what for and promising to take on foreign powers, job-exporting companies, illegal immigrants, taxes and everything else that people perceive as a threat to their livelihoods or personal beliefs.

The thing is, he’s hardly speaking off the cuff as much as everyone thinks. Smart man that he is, he is well aware of what resonates with a large segment of the population.

It makes little difference, though, because neither he, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders nor John Kasich is going to swoop in and change America.

Every four years, it seems, the American public forgets how government works (or doesn’t work) and gets the notion that if only the right president could get elected, big things might get done.

That just isn’t the case. The president can’t get anything done regardless of popularity or ability without the approval of Congress, wherein lies the real problem.

Yet, we keep re-electing the same people because intransigence in Congress apparently reflects our personal intransigence on any number of issues.

If the public wants a smart president, that’s fine, but it’s not going to have that much of an impact unless voters get a little smarter themselves.

For starters, they could throw out the stubborn fools who refuse to work across the aisle because they are afraid we won’t continue to elect them to do so little.

Congressional inertia and inflexibility will solve no problems at all, regardless of who wins the top job in November.

Letters to the editor Cancer society thanks volunteers

Editor, In celebration of National Volunteer Week, April 11-16, I am writing to recognize the residents of our community whose lives have been enriched through the feeling that comes from helping others. I encourage you to find a worthy cause with which to volunteer.

I give my time to the American Cancer Society, because cancer has touched everyone in some way, including myself and my family. To help others in their fight against cancer is truly humbling.

Volunteers have been the backbone of the American Cancer Society since its founding over 100 years ago.

They continue to provide the crusading spirit the society has needed to champion the fight against this terrible disease.

Each of our volunteers has given time that is both meaningful and close to the heart.

Thank you to local volunteers for their participation in our many programs, such as Road to Recovery and look Good Feel Better, events like Relay For life and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, as dedicated members of

community advocacy teams, or even helping in a local office to stuff envelopes.

Because of the passion and commitment of these volunteers, the American Cancer Society can continue to save lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer.

R. Clifford Berg Past Chairman of the American Cancer Society’s South Atlantic Division Board of Directors

St. Joseph’s Day partners thanked

Editor, The Sixth Annual St. Joseph’s Day Italian Festival, on March 19th, sponsored by the Ocean City Lodge of the Sons of Italy and St. Luke’s/St. Andrew’s Catholic Church, was another big success, and our best attended to date.

We had over 1,200 attendees enjoy our home-cooked Italian meals and baked goods.

Music was again provided by the Mario Monaldi Band, from Baltimore, a favorite of Italian Festivals throughout the Mid Atlantic.

As the many attendees wandered the Hall, they

bought Italian specialty foods and merchandise, participated in our large silent and Chinese auctions, played some games of chance, and watched their children enjoy making Easter crafts.

All in all, it was a fun day and a very successful one for our charity and scholarship funds. We have many individuals and local Maryland merchants to thank for their generosity in sponsoring our entertainment, auctions and taking ads in our program.

These are the establishments that are the backbone of our community, and we appreciate their support. It is a pleasure to acknowledge them and we encourage your readers to support them: Our benefactors in Ocean City: A Perfect Face, ASPIRE Worldwide Summer Work Program, ASSE International Student Exchange Program, Bath and Body Works, Bayside Skillet, Billy’s Pizza & Subs, Buddhas & Beads, Bull on the Beach, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Crab Alley, Creative Compliments by Michelle, Creative Care Day Spa, Dunes Manor Hotel Victorian Restaurant, Fager’s Island Restaurant, Fox Sun & Surf Movies, General’s Kitchen, Gold Coast Mall, Continued on Page 86

PUBLIC EYE

Serious shore history

APRIL 22, 2016

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher National politicians visiting the Eastern Shore is like the Sultan of Brunei visiting an Exxon station.

Even though the visitors have no idea who we are, we like the recognition and get pumped in the process.

This hasn’t always been the case, but first I should address the annoying fact that a good many people who live here don’t even know where or what the Eastern Shore is.

Contrary to what I’ve heard many, many times, the Eastern Shore of Maryland is not just this neck of the woods.

The Eastern Shore name itself refers to the nine counties of Maryland that lie to the east of the Chesapeake Bay. It is not just the eastern portion of the peninsula that fronts the ocean. The Eastern Shore, which is not to be confused with the Delmarva Peninsula, stretches from the Maryland-Virginia line up through Cecil County, next door to Pennsylvania.

Now that we have that out of the way, the last time a president visited the Shore was in 1938, when Franklin Roosevelt went to Denton (of all places) to stump on behalf of a senate candidate.

The thing was back then and way, way before I was born (T minus nine and counting, as a matter of fact) the

Eastern Shore really was a political power.

It had its own senator, Democrat George L. P. Radcliff of Cambridge, because the laws of the time dictated that one senator had to come from one of the nine counties. That requirement was changed after people realized that Congress could only tolerate so much common sense without ruining its reputation.

A multitude of governors also came from the Shore, the last one being Millard Tawes of Crisfield.

Some might argue that Gov. Harry Hughes, who came from the lovely town of Denton, was the last governor from the Shore, but he had pulled up stakes and moved to Baltimore to practice law (to get better at it, I guess) before going into politics.

Hughes was about 14 when Roosevelt came to town in an effort to bump Sen. Millard Tydings of Harford County out of office in favor of a more liberal Rep. David Lewis from the other side of the bay, wherever that is.

Roosevelt did hold forth on what a turncoat Tydings was, but it was to no avail. Eastern Shore voters went for Tydings anyway, but were all over themselves that the president actually visited.

The bottom line for us is that visits are always nice, but don’t tell us what to do.
