KOMEN RACE FOR THE CURE Runners and walkers take off from the starting line for the fourth annual Susan G. Komen Ocean City Race for the Cure, Sunday, which included a 5K timed competitive run, 5K recreational run/walk and 1-mile fun walk. A total of 2,171 people registered for the events and organizers estimated about several hundred spectators were on hand to watch. Approximately $200,000 generated through registration, donations, sponsorships, raffles and merchandise sales has been counted so far and money is still coming in, Kim Schmulowitz, communications and marketing director for Komen Maryland, said earlier this week.

Airport loss doesn’t fly with everyone Hartman asks why it can’t charge more if facility so popular

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Ocean City government is planning to conduct a review of the fee structure at the municipal airport, after a debate during recent budget hearings over exactly how far the city can take the trickle-down economics argument used to justify the operation.

While owners may pay only $12 per day to tie down their

aircraft at the facility, city taxpayers will probably subsidize the facility to the tune of $264,791 in the coming fiscal year.

This deficit could be increased by $306,471 if debt service on the 2006 bond taken out for the airport is included, although it can be argued that this money actually goes toward running the golf course. It’s an unusual arrangement stemming from the city’s land use dispute with the federal government.

“I’m having a hard time justifying this much public liabil-

The Ocean City Airport ... “a loss leader” for resort.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The dredges will keep dredging, the beaches will still be replenished and the inlet will continue to fill up with sand that damages boats, the commercial and recreational fishing industries and Ocean City’s reputation as a maritime hotspot.

In short, the Ocean City Inlet is already a navigational mess because of shoaling and will only get worse unless some major fix is employed.

Graffiti spree tags multiple properties; OCPD has leads About 45 marks identified from overnight vandalism incident last weekend

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) June seems to have come early this year –and not just judging by the weather.

Particularly warm temperatures last weekend coincided with heavy spring break college visitorship, as well as a rash of vandalism that saw dozens of graffiti tags in a small area on the south end of town.

The largest scrawl appeared at the shopping center on Philadelphia Avenue between 18th and 19th Street, on a vacant storefront previously occupied by the county liquor store. Several vehicles in the shopping center parking lot were hit as well.

The vandalism was done late on Saturday, April 18, or early on Sunday, April 19. The Ocean City Police Department was first notified at 5 a.m. on Sunday, OCPD Public Information Officer Lindsay Richard said.

Police have taken security camera footage from businesses in the area.

“They have identified possible suspects using surveillance footage and other evidence,” Richard said.

Several more large tags were done at the Cabana Motel, on the highway north of 19th Street. Cowboy Coast Saloon – the former Party Block between 17th and 18th – also had a few pieces of script on its facade.

The same lettering was also seen on construction trailers parked on 16th Street and Baltimore Avenue, as well as on fencing at nearby homes. The Boardwalk storefronts in the Holiday Inn were also painted.

On the other side of the highway, the city’s bus stop shelter in front of CVS was tagged, and the Layton’s Plaza shopping center immediately to the south of CVS was also hit.

The property’s owner, Tony Christ, blamed the crimes on the fi-

nancial environment.

“The unabated rise in the price of government weakens the economy and slowly creates blight,” Christ said. “The best protection against crime is not more cops, it’s a vibrant economy.”

“We haven’t seen [graffiti] to this degree before...but I don’t think its a reflection on the vibrancy of our community,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “Are there going to be exceptions to the rule? Yes, unfortunately things happen sometimes.”

Richard said a total of 45 tags have been identified thus far. Anyone who was victimized by graffiti over the weekend is asked to contact Detective David Whitmer at 410520-5390 or dwhitmer@oceancitymd.gov.

Fishing industry hampered by inlet shoaling Continued from Page 1 commercial fishermen are uprooting their operations here in favor of New Jersey, where they won’t have to wait for favorable conditions to dock their boats without damaging them.

The commercial fishermen, in an industry worth millions to the area, are also acting as a bellwether for the recreational fishing industry, including tournaments like the White Marlin Open, which by itself is worth millions.

It is problem well described by Merrill Campbell, the manager of the Ocean City dock for Southern Connection seafood.

“This is just from my March 1 diary,” Campbell began. A boat ran aground at 3 p.m. “carrying $12,000 in clams trying to hit high tide. The Instigator carrying $20,000 worth of fish hit and slid at 3:30. The Starbright, sister to the Instigator, I believe made it at 4:30. The day before, the Ocean Gold carried in $40,000 worth of seafood and couldn’t get back out.”

Campbell said in just that one 24hour period the dock handled $92,000 in seafood, “I’m not saying they didn’t make it. Everyone made it,” but the danger was present and the volume of seafood entering through the harbor is enormous.

“Ever since [Superstorm] Sandy, I hit every night going in and out.

We’re supposed to call the Coast Guard when it happens, but I’d have to do it every night, which isn’t going to happen,” another waterman said.

The watermen agree the bay is filling in.

“They started pulling hard dredges in 1962. When you exit the channel north or south, you’re aground.

There’s a helicopter out there policing our catch. Instead of paying for the helicopter, I say we should buy a dredge,” angler Jack Kaeufer said.

Locally, the portion of the process costs. That’s a multimillion-dollar loss with one gentleman leaving the appears pretty simple. Blama said ofarea. We can’t afford those kinds of losses in these times.”

In the broadest possible sense, the issue is with the sand filling in the inlet and surrounding waterways boat operators use to enter and exit local fare the harbor. How that sand comes to be there is, according to the Army Corps of Engineers, a matter for study.

“We’re clear on the sense of urgency with our dredging situation,” Carozza said, “We’ve got to ensure we have the same understanding of the

ficials would need to send letters of intent regarding the three-step process that might eventually lead to a solution.

The inlet is currently authorized to be dredged to a depth of 10 feet, with a two-foot overdraft. If Blama can secure what he called “advanced maintenance funds,” which may need a letter of intent from locals, it’s possible to bump that number up to a 12foot depth, plus two feet of overdraft.

If Blama is successful in reopening a project concerning the inlet “currently stuck in the design phase” that would definitely need a letter of intent, the depth could be increased to between 14 and 16 feet with another two feet in overdraft. This step has a cost-sharing component of 90 percent federal and 10 percent local.

Blama said he believes the local portion can come through in-kind donations, such as constructing a disposal site for the estimated 90,000 cubic yards of material the dredging would produce.

The long-term solution would come as a regional project of the Army Corps of Engineers carrying a 65-35 cost sharing provision, and would require federal intervention, Blama explained.

“We’re working with speculation until the studies are complete,” Bill Reddish, attending on behalf of Congressman Harris, said.

Waylaid surfer statue not out of question after 20-yr. delay

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The surfing community reacted with surprise when the “Dance of the Dolphins” statue was unveiled at the foot of the Route 90 bridge last week, because they had thought, and possibly donated money to support, an effort to memorialize one of their own.

Michael Chester died in the early 1990s of cancer, and local surfers rallied around the idea of a statue placed on the site where the dolphin statue has been installed. The plan hit its first snag in 1994, when it was widely reported that the prototype statue included everything the surfers wanted to see: an homage to Chester, a wave, a board; and a couple of things they didn’t — since the surfer was depicted au naturel.

“We’re not going to have a naked surfer in Ocean City,” Mayor Roland “Fish” Powell was quoted in the May 6, 1994 edition of the Washington Post.

The anatomically correct prototype statue required some changes before the city would allow it to greet visitors.

“Other than Senior Week, spring break, the end of the summer — I’ve never seen anybody surfing naked in Ocean City,” then-City Councilman Jim Mathias was quoted in the May 4, 1994 Baltimore Sun. “We’ve been scorned sometimes as being a town where anything goes, and that’s not the case … We’re not comfortable with that on public property.”

The artist, Edmond Shumpert, installed a similar statue on Huntington

Beach, Calif. in the 1970s. Known locally as the “nude dude,” the statue is actually titled “The Ultimate Challenge,” according to published reports. Shumpert initially resisted efforts to neuter his work.

“It’s like the body’s a story: Who’s going to take out the middle chapters? It breaks up the flow … You put the damn shorts in there, it’s like saying to Beethoven, ‘Oboe, you’re out’ and splicing in some elevator music in his symphony,” Shumpert was quoted in the May 4, 1994 Baltimore Sun, but “If it comes right down to it, I’ll have to put some shorts on it.”

Initially estimated to cost $60,000, organizer Martin Furst said in the July 28, 2008 Washington Times the effort to bring the statue to the resort needed only another $4,000.

“It almost got off the ground,” Lee Gerachis of Malibu’s Surf Shop said, “but then it lost momentum.”

Chauncey Rhodes, of Chauncey’s Surf Shop, said he remembered the fundraising but was never certain what became of the money.

Furst said earlier this week that the effort to bring the statue to Ocean City was alive and well, the statue was completed and “it’s waiting for us in Mississippi,” where Shumpert resides.

Although the “Dance of the Dolphins” now resides where the statue of Chester had been planned to be installed for so long, Furst said he made promises he intends to keep by eventually bringing the statue to Ocean City.

Hydrant flushing to start Sunday (April 24, 2015) The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin conducting the spring hydrant flushing of the water system beginning Sunday, April 26. 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 and into the early morning. 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. If you wish to clear your pipes, run cold water for several minutes until the water runs clear.

The completion of this project is expected to be done by the afternoon on Thursday, April 30. For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing in your area, please contact the Public Works Water Department at 410-524-8388.

City airport service fees to be scrutinized Continued from Page 1 Hartman’s colleagues defended the operation as a “loss leader,” bringing in a net positive in visitorship despite operating at a deficit.

“I see the airport as one of those things that brings in business growth far beyond what it costs us to run,” said Councilman Tony DeLuca.

The publicly run airport and golf course are somewhat unique operations for Ocean City, given that they are located on a large swath of land outside the city limits, several miles down Route 611. The prevailing theory is that both operations will bring in customers who will, in turn, spend money on intown hotels and restaurants.

In 2006, the two amenities were somewhat problematically tied together when the city bought additional land to be designated as a “buffer zone” for the airport’s runways. This purchase was heavily subsidized by the Federal Aviation Administration, which pays for 90 percent of all capital costs associated with the municipal airport as a federally sponsored transit hub.

Obviously, large buildings can’t go in an area that is intended to serve as clearance space for planes that are landing or taking off. However, the city apparently believed they could use the land to expand the municipal golf course, which is located next to the airport.

This did not go over well with the FAA. As Mayor Rick Meehan put it, the

FAA “changed the rules on us after the land was purchased” and the city had already started building tees and greens.

The FAA, on the other hand, basically accused the city of ripping it off by using federal airport funds to build a golf course. The agency even threatened to sell the land, since it was bought with federal money, and drop support for Ocean City’s aviation program. “[The golf course] was a compatible use, they said,” said Councilman Dennis Dare, who was city manager at the time.

After the dispute, Dare said, “the FAA said ‘we don’t need [the buffer zone] anymore, we’re going to sell it, and if you want to keep your golf course, you’re going to have to buy it from us.’

So we we’re buying something we already owned, but we had bought with FAA money.”

The city borrowed $5 million to pay back the federal government for the golf course expansion. The FAA did not cease to support the city’s airport, but put the $5 million into a separate fund that is now used to support capital projects at the facility.

Thus, it could be argued that the $306,471 debt repayment in the coming year’s budget is for either operation.

On one hand, it repays the money used to buy the golf course’s land. But that money is also earmarked expressly to pay for the airport’s capital costs, as the FAA is essentially allocating the

city’s own money back to it whenever it picks up a capital cost share.

But because the bond was taken out against the city’s general revenues, the cost is not assigned to either the golf course or airport budgets.

“Bottom line, with this included, the airport is either losing more money than is shown, or the golf course is actually operating at a loss instead of breaking even,” Hartman said.

The question, then, is how big of a hit the city is willing to take to provide a service.

Meehan likened the airport to other budget-deficient city operations.

“We have a number of things we provide that don’t make money.

Garbage, recreation and parks...these are not all break-even,” Meehan said.

Council Secretary Mary Knight pointed to the FAA’s 2013 economic study that estimated $7.3 million in local spending generated by the airport.

“When constituents ask about the airport and see it as a loss, this really substantiates [its value],” Knight said.

However, it was unclear if this amount was zero-sum, or if the impact was relative to the same visitors arriving by more conventional means. According to Airport Manager Jaime Giandomenico, the facility sees about 38,000 operations each year. Knowing that each plane that takes off must also land, or vice-versa, this would equate to 19,000 flights per year, or about $385

in local spending per flight.

According to Giandomenico’s price sheet, Ocean City’s hangar rental costs, and fuel charges, are roughly in-line with other small airports in the region.

The airport profited $140,000 last year on fuel sales.

There is, however, a waiting list for hangar leases.

“I think, if you’ve had a waiting list going for a while, that’s probably a sign that the market will support higher rates,” Hartman said.

Additionally, Ocean City does not increase the parking fee for visiting aircraft – or “tie down” – as the size of the aircraft increases. The current city rate of $12 per night is comparable to the starting fee at most other airports, but these airports boost the rate to up to $60 for larger planes, which Ocean City does not.

Ultimately, Hartman’s inquiry gained some traction, with Giandomenico to come back in a few weeks with ways to increase income at the facility.

“If it’s something we can put in place before the summer to increase revenue a little bit, I think that would be preferable,” Meehan said.

“I don’t think we’re going to chase away anyone who has a plane [by raising tie-down fees],” Hartman said. “The airport is a great product, but I don’t think we should be selling it short [by running it at a loss].”

Convenience kills double-deck bus idea in Ocean City

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) If you had dreams of pretending you were in London or New York while shuttling down Coastal Highway, you may have to hold off.

The idea of getting some doubledecker buses for the resort was abandoned this week by the city’s Transportation Committee, due to a number of issues with how to accommodate the vehicles.

“I started out wanting to go with the double-deckers because of the novelty, but I’m over it,” Councilman Tony DeLuca said. “There are just too many issues.”

Instead, the town will likely be borrowing articulating buses, which have a pivoting, accordion-like section in the center to allow tighter turns on a longer vehicle.

The Maryland Transit Administration will lend the buses to the town for the summer. After that, the city plans to include 60-foot articulating buses in its next capital purchase.

Following issues with limited service last summer, the city has been making a concerted effort to boost bus capacity for the coming season.

Addressing a shortage of drivers was the main concern, but higher-capacity buses were also sought.

From a simple economic standpoint, the articulating buses are more efficient, carrying 120 people at a cost of $700,000 per bus. The double-decker models cost $825,000, but only have capacity for 83 passengers.

If it was only cost, the novelty factor to encourage ridership may have been worth it. However, the commission was also presented with a number of practical concerns that scuttled interest in the double-deckers.

“My initial concern was having guests up on the second floor, and how you would monitor them, and what that liability would be,” city Risk Manager Eric Lagstrom said.

The Ocean City Police Department was also nervous of the idea. An additional attendant would be needed on the second floor, particularly in June with the influx of rowdy graduates. Further, many double-decker buses are open-topped, with is a big part of the appeal.

“We would very much recommend against open-topped,” said OCPD Capt. Kevin Kirstein. “You can only imagine what would probably go on.”

Further, the city’s service garage is only so high. If and when a doubledecker needed service, it would be extremely difficult for city mechanics to get under it.

“The max we’re going to be able to lift one of those in our garage is about two-and-a-half feet, so it’s basically a floor operation,” Service Center Manager Ron Eckman said.

Would Wor. Co. welcome Warblers franchise?

Arena would likely house two sports teams and host events and concerts

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Site plans, cost arrangements, feasibility studies and, not to be overlooked, a location are still all questions without answers concerning a proposed sports complex in Worcester County.

Hat Trick Consultants, the Texasbased firm that approached the county last year with the idea, appeared before the Worcester County Commissioners this week with few new details in the venture.

The first magic number is $15,000, which is the county’s share to fund the phase I study. The total cost of the study

is close to $75,000 — a little higher than average since the county is contemplating installing outdoor athletic fields to accompany the project.

The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development is contributing $25,000, Hat Trick is putting up $5,000 and the Maryland Stadium Authority is contributing about $30,000.

The second magic number is 130.

That’s how many events the venue would need annually to remain financially viable, according to Michael Barack, president of Hat Trick. The AAleague hockey team Hat Trick proposed to house at the arena would be good for about 34 of those dates, he said.

“Without at least 50 dates, you’re starting behind the eight ball,” Barack said.

SAVE UP TO

Another professional sports team, apart from the proposed “Warblers” team, be it arena football, basketball or lacrosse as examples, would need to be lined up to carry the arena during the hockey off-season, Barack said. He continued by saying his organization would be willing to provide that team before or after the contracts are signed.

“That would be before,” County Attorney J. Sonny Bloxom interjected.

Barack said the calendars generally fill up fast, with events double or even triple-booked from nearby venues such as the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center and Ocean City’s new Performing Arts Center. Both of these venues are generally considered to be competing with the new arena, as the Maryland Stadium Authority, which has a financial interest in both existing facilities and is expected to fund a

Barack told the commissioners of a similar arena in Texas that he said receives $80,000 per week in rent from a church to use its facilities. Concerts, youth leagues or business conventions could all make use of the stadium, Barack said.

The arena could also be a hub for development, Barack said, supporting hotel or retail businesses.

Commissioner A. Chip Bertino asked about the structure and what role Hat Trick plays in the operation of the arena, since the county has said it isn’t “going into the stadium business.”

“We’d be the conduit for the county.

We’d be the operator on the county’s behalf, and bring in the sports franchises and events,” Barack said.

No site has been identified for the placement of the arena, but Economic Development Director Bill Badger said the West Ocean City area was a strong contender. Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw requested, because of the available infrastructure and inexpensive land prices, that the Southern end of the county gets serious consideration.

Badger said he would be glad to show the consultants around that part of the county.

Overall cost estimates from the consultants are based on a $40 million price tag, but Badger previously increased the estimates to between $40$50 million, emphasizing that Worcester County would not provide that amount towards the arena. Badger said there are a number of funding opportunities available, such as a public/private partnership.

Projecting revenue and expenses based on $40 million at 3.5 percent interest amortized over 20 years, Hat Trick forecasts about $312,000 in net revenue annually.

Using revenue sources such as merchandizing, club seats and suites, naming rights and rent, Hat Trick projects $7.5 million in gross revenue offset by $3 million in operating expenses and $1.3 million in staff. Debt service is estimated at $2.8 million, leaving about $300,000 left over.

These numbers will be verified by the MSA study.

Commissioners’ priorities revealed in strategic plan Top nods for Showell, Route 50, DLC exit, solid waste, Pocomoke industrial park

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) During the winter Maryland Association of Counties meeting early this year, the Worcester County Commissioners developed a strategic plan for their priorities for this term, outlining what they believed to be the top priorities for 2015, which they adopted without comment on Tuesday.

Each commissioner assigned number values to a list of suggested projects. A top priority was given a score of 10, second was eight, third was six, fourth was four and fifth was two; but no names were assigned to scores when the list was made public for the first time this week. However, the number of votes cast for each item was also made public, so some insights into their thinking can be gleaned.

For example, the heading “more collaboration with the board of education on the capital improvement plan” received one vote with a 10 point score, meaning it was one of the board’s top priorities. Joining this is “Worcester County becomes a destination for seniors” and “tax differential agreement with municipalities.”

The items that received zero votes are also telling and include “municipalities to answer their own 911 calls,” “provide training opportunities for jobs in wind turbine support,” “dualize Route 90,” “provide countywide broadband internet” and “evaluate procedure for considering non-profit funding requests.” No commissioner thought these items were important enough to warrant support.

The top vote getter was to “replace Showell Elementary School with a cost-effective and affordable structure,” with 28 points and five votes.

According to the unsigned report to County Administrator Harold Higgins from Kelly Shannahan, assistant county administrator, the existing school requires “major health, safety and energy code upgrades.” This report states the estimate cost for the school to be $49 million before a state share of $3.2 million leaving $45.7 million, “which is unavailable at this time;” but it’s been reported that the cost of the school has crept up to as much as $52 million.

“Given that the new Ocean City Elementary School was constructed less than 10 years ago,” the report states, “at a total cost of roughly $18 million,” the commissioners hope alternatives can be agreed upon.

Tied for second place with 22 points and three votes each are design guidelines for the Route 50 corridor and developing an exit strategy for the Department of Liquor Control. The fear that “some desirable commercial development may have been discouraged by perceived uncertainty of approval,” owing to design guidelines adopted in 2009 based upon the 2006 Worcester County Comprehensive plan, has led the commissioners to move toward establishing a task force on the issue. The task force, the report explains, will review both the guidelines and comprehensive plan to establish if amendments are needed to encourage desirable economic development.

The commissioners may have set themselves an impossible task when simultaneously trying to achieve the goals of developing an exit strategy for a county department, liquidate its assets, yet somehow ensure a measure of pricing control and “wind down DLC operations with the least possible impact on DLC staff.” Three commissioners voted for this item.

Also tied are finding a plan for solid waste operations and the Pocomoke area industrial park. In 2010, according to the report, Ocean City stopped using the Central Landfill resulting in significant losses in tipping fee revenue. At the same time, fixed costs of operations remained, well, fixed. A new cell of the landfill will need to be constructed in the near future requiring the use of reserve funds, but the county has been dipping into those same reserves to meet the fixed cost of operations, according to the report.

The goal of this entry is to develop a workable plan to cover operations and pay for capital improvements without going to bond.

The Pocomoke industrial park is comprised of roughly 100 acres and is the area designated for industrial growth in the county, according to the report. Along with current businesses there is a “small business incubator facility” and a 42,000 square foot building that previously housed the Mid-Atlantic Institute for Space and Technology. About 30 acres are still available for development. Yet the commissioners desire to partner with the town to construct a facility between 20,000 and 25,000 square feet on the chance to “attract additional industrial tenants to the Pocomoke area.”

This speculative facility edged out items such as increasing government transparency, protecting farms and agriculture, a countywide economic development plan and more medical curricula at the technical high school.

OC clamps down on taxis before Uber hits New regs might be DOA as utility threatens entire cab industry as summer nears

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) In one singular move, the city is attempting to tighten up its taxi policy, while also preparing for the arrival of services that may make the whole system a moot point.

City council passed the first reading of an ordinance this week that tweaks the city’s tightly controlled medallion system, which controls and limits the number of cabs in the resort.

But that same ordinance also institutes a 25-cent surcharge for webbased services such as Uber, whose ability to operate outside local taxi laws was cemented recently by a state law placing such services in their own regulatory category.

The new city ordinance includes a number of clerical measures, such as adding “or his or her designee” to items that must be approved by the chief of police, for times in which the chief is unavailable.

Other changes, however, may have more of an impact. The revision adds a $50 fee to replace lost or stolen medallions, as well as a $50 fee for

those drivers contesting a disqualification due to criminal record.

The ordinance also moves the deadline for annual renewals and vehicle inspections back to April 30, instead of March 31. However, vehicles inspected late will be subject to a scale of additional fees, and no inspections will be done after August 1, except in cases where a cab is being replaced due to damage or repair needs.

A fee of $7.50 will now be assessed to any medallion owner who fails to notify a driver of a mandatory random drug screening. Drivers may voluntarily have their licenses suspended if they will be unavailable for drug testing for more than 14 days, as is the case during the winter when many cabbies are out of the country.

The revised ordinance also prohibits cabs from charging more than $150 to a customer for cleanup.

Lastly, the ordinance authorizes the state-mandated maximum perfare fee of 25 cents for any Transportation Network Service.

TNS is the new designation for companies such as Uber, which do not operate taxi themselves, except for a limited number of premier services. Rather, such services provide a smartphone app that independent drivers can contract to use.

The app links drivers with prospective customers, guiding them via their phone’s GPS to the pickup and drop-off locations. The drivers also subscribe to Uber’s uniform pricing system and share the profits with the company. All financial transactions between drivers and customers are done via the company’s app.

Under state legislation passed just last week, the Maryland Public Service Commission will require Uber or any other ride-hailing network to register as a TNS, obtain a certain level of insurance that extends to its contract drivers, and be subject to fairaccess and price notification laws for customers.

However, the TNS classification puts Uber and other such services outside of the jurisdiction of local governments. When first discussed, Ocean City leaders were adamant that Uber drivers, should they appear in the resort, would be required to purchase a taxi medallion and go through the usual process for hired vehicles.

However, a municipality can require a surcharge of up to 25 cents per trip via a TNS, to be collected and returned to the municipality by the Maryland Comptroller’s Office.

With Uber having gone around the city’s control, local resident Ellie

Diegelmann told the council that adding any new fees to the medallion system was unwarranted.

“The party’s over. Uber is going to hurt [the traditional taxis] enough.

Why are you putting more on them now?” Diegelmann said.

Councilman Wayne Hartman said he expected more objection from the taxi industry.

“I expected our medallion holders to be out in force,” Hartman said. “[The lack of response] actually gives me more confidence to vote for this.”

Unless clarified otherwise, the city could still prevent Uber drivers from doing street hails, as their TNS status only extends to trips which are requested via the app.

Although traditional cabs do get a fair amount of these by waiting outside bars and nightclubs during the summer, call-in rides are still a large portion of their business, which will now be open to competition from Uber.

However, Councilman Doug Cymek said that a taxi fleet owner he spoke with was less concerned.

“He has confidence in our system,” Cymek said. “Quite candidly, most people don’t believe Uber is going to be a force to be reckoned with, they believe we won’t present as lucrative as a market for them as Baltimore and Washington.”

BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS BRIEFS

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The Board of License Commissioners approved the following requests for liquor licenses with the listed caveats during their April meeting.

every day from 7 a.m. until midnight and serve all three meals. They are not allowed to have outdoor dining or carryout alcohol stock due to the proximity of both Worcester Prep and the Northern Worcester Athletic complex.

Grotto Pizza on Boardwalk

Captain’s Galley 2 transfer Because the surrounding area has been rezoned since the previous license was approved to include the light industrial uses consistent with the commercial fishing harbor, the Shrimp Boat can now feature more live entertainment than its predecessor, Captain’s Galley 2.

The zoning reflects the expectation of noise, and the applicants received the OK to feature a three-piece band outside on the first floor, and up to five pieces inside.

Neighboring properties such as Harborside and Sunset Grille already feature entertainment, according to the applicants, so the board was inclined to grant their request.

Culture authentic eatery

The Commander hotel is ceding its liquor license to Grotto Pizza, as a “new application of the previous license.�

The pizzeria will replace the restaurant at the hotel and close between November and March.

From J/R’s to Tokyo Buffet Ocean City has seen its fair share of buffets come and go, but the celebrated Chinese buffet hadn’t yet made it to our shores until the owner of the Tokyo Steakhouse decided to bring it here. The restaurant will be an Asian buffet offering Chinese and Japanese food, but none of the hibachi tables seen elsewhere.

The Tokyo Buffet will replace the J/R’s on 131st Street.

Owner Jodi Wright described the eatery as a “Panera-type fast casual� restaurant, where she expects 50 percent of her customers to get carryout food.

The previous establishment was approved for live entertainment, and Wright said she wanted the option to include entertainment, but didn’t think it would be a regular feature. She only requested two nights per week between 4-10 p.m., which was granted.

Monte Carlo Surf Inn

Coin’s

Bull on the Beach Horn and Shell

Charlotte Kuti, who said she had worked at Coin’s for the past 20 years, and the last seven as manager, was granted a 90 percent transfer of the liquor license from the previous owner.

Kuti didn’t make any requests beyond the transfer, and indicated she wanted to keep things at Coin’s the same as they had always been.

Phil Houck and sons, after having a paperwork snafu settled, were approved for their location in West Ocean City at 12611 Ocean Gateway.

Crush and Crab Taking over the site of Boomer’s on the southbound side of 113 near Worcester Prep will be the Crush and Crab, Berlin’s only 7-day breakfast, lunch and dinner spot.

The owners said they would remain open

Open 7 Days A Week!

food

Managers of the Monte Carlo Surf Inn estimated half of their customers complained about not being able to get a beer or glass of wine as they relaxed at the rooftop pool.

Representatives from the hotel said they were “meeting a need� by offering light sandwiches and beverages, and the commissioners agreed by granting their request.

fun

Leaky Pete’s The second location of Leaky Pete’s, the first is in Cambridge, attempted to get amplified singers in downtown Berlin, but the commissioners held off on that request, citing the neighborhood resistance they were certain he would face.

Instead he was granted the opportunity to have outdoor entertainment once per week without amplification, and four pieces inside from 711 p.m.

Legal, ethical issues at odds for cat control City discusses health dept. request to make property owners liable for ferals

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) In world that subscribes to Newton’s law of litigation, in which every action produces an equal and opposite lawsuit, the Town of Ocean City is trying to further define its policy toward feral cats in face of pressure from the county health department.

The city’s police commission heard a presentation last week from Dr. Andrea Mathias of the Worcester County Health Department, which, although it’s jurisdiction coincides with the county, is a state-run agency.

Specifically, Mathias wished to gauge the city’s interest in adopting an animal control ordinance similar to that used in the county, which would assign legal responsibility for an animal to whatever property is harboring it.

“In the county, the ordinance clearly puts ownership on the person who is feeding or maintaining the animal,” Mathias said.

The policy is clearly geared toward feral cats, particularly situations where a group of wild felines is being fed and cared for on one property,

but is roaming onto other properties whose occupants may not want them present.

“It’s sort of an emerging issue in animal control,” Mathias said. “Ordinances that have been enforced to contain dogs have not been for cats.”

But even if responsibility for roaming animals could be assigned from a legal perspective, there was skepticism from the commission that it could be done in practice, or that a new law would actually help the city address the proliferation of feral cats.

“You can put all kinds of things in an ordinance, but it doesn’t mean you can use them,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres.

For example, Ayres noted, a colony of feral cats has existed for some years behind the Ocean Plaza

Mall on 94th Street. Except for two stores, the mall has been abandoned and derelict for years. Residents often feed the animals, but they are otherwise uncontrollable.

“That property is now owned by an investment group out of Baltimore, Continental Realty. If someone goes behind the mall and gets bitten, are we supposed to go after Continental?” Ayres asked.

Hypothetically, if the company then needed to cut its liability and cease harboring animals, “is Continental supposed to hire a guard to keep cats from coming onto their property?” Ayres posed.

The commission seemed to concur that there was no easy answer, legally or practically. Given the high number of transient and temporary residents, Ocean City generates a considerable number of stray animals relative to its small permanent population.

Cats, in particular, proliferate at abandoned properties or in neighborhoods that still have some open land.

Control of the animals is largely left to private animal welfare groups, of which several exist in the area.

Most practice a strategy of TrapNeuter-Vaccinate-Return, in which feral cats are captured, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and then put back where they were found.

TNVR relies on the idea that cats

ARCADIA VILLAGE

fill a certain ecological niche – if removed from their territory, more cats will just move in. Thus, it is better to maintain existing cats in known territories, and allow the population to gradually thin due to lack of reproduction.

Ocean City has had a certain number of successes with TNVR. The Ocean Plaza Mall, for instance, used to have several hundred cats, but residents have observed a dramatic drop since TNVR efforts started several years ago. The Ocean City Police Department works with several cat welfare organizations to control that site and others.

However, the state and county have never quite been sold on the program.

“In our experience, we do not find it to be a particularly effective solution,” Mathias said. “Sometimes it is said a cat colony will self-regulate in its size ... that takes into account some assumptions that turn out not to be true.”

Most critically, Mathias pointed out the difficulty in re-capturing cats to keep them up to date on rabies vaccines. Rabies shots given upon initial trapping are guaranteed for a year, and usually effective up to 18 months, but colonies will need to be monitored long-term.

Further, there is no way to keep See RABIES Page 17

Casey Cares honors Buddy Trala (April 24, 2015) The Casey Cares Foundation, which provides programs for critically ill children and their families, recently held its 15th anniversary gala at the American Vision Art Museum in Baltimore on March 21.

Each year, Casey Cares selects outstanding companies or individuals for its commitment to the charity.

Recognizing donors who have been instrumental in making their programs successful, the Foundation named Buddy Trala of the Sunset Grille restaurant in West Ocean City, with the Champion of Children Award for 2015.

Since 2010, Trala has supported one of the organization’s most requested programs, Celebration Vaca-

tions. Spending time together far away from treatment schedules helps families remain focused on the everyday things that make them happy.

Whether it’s at the beach, an adventure park or as a guest in their home town, the Celebration Vacation Program allows families to choose their vacation location and enjoy some relaxation and rejuvenation.

Trala arranges Ocean City weekends at the Holiday Inn on 17th Street, and treats each family to dinner at the Sunset Grille restaurant.

More than 40 families have enjoyed a beach getaway with a meal courtesy of Trala, who always takes the time to personally meet each family. This “special touch” is what makes Casey Cares such an important resource for

the critically ill children they serve, and what made Trala the 2015 Champion of Children recipient.

Trala and his wife, Christy reside in Ocean City. Formerly of the Eastern Shore, he is the son of Laurence J. “Larry” Trala and the late Joan V. Trala of Exmore, Virginia.

The Casey Cares Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides personalized, uplifting programs with a special touch to critically ill children and family members throughout six states. Programs include Family Festivities, Celebration Vacations, Birthday Blasts, Kami’s Jammies, Caring Connection group parties and Better Together.

“There’s no easy answer,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “From a practical standpoint, we don’t need to be further developing cat colonies in town.”

“If the cats are sick and a danger to the public, there should be no question [about removal],” Cymek said. “But I think we need to get out there and start looking at the colonies before we decide [on a legislative direction]. It’s not going to be a mass cull or euthanization.”

Schultz reiterated that any solution – TNVR or otherwise – would never be completely risk-free or legally waterproof, and it was up to the city to find the least problematic and most humane route. He joked that the most natural, hands-off way to control the level of feral cats would be to introduce coyotes or monitor lizards to Ocean City.

“It would work biologically, but that doesn’t mean it would go over well legally,” he said.

The city currently has $4,500 earmarked in the coming budget year for aid to TNVR groups operating in Ocean City. That funding will remain available until the city council decides otherwise, Cymek said.

THE BUDGET PROCESS

Budget: benches, 911 need full-time help It’s that time of year when all your hopes and dreams get turned into ‘line items’

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) It’s budget season again. For the past three weeks, and likely for the next several more, City Hall will deliberate on how to set up its budget for the 2016 fiscal year, which actually begins on July 1, 2015.

Every year, myriad issues are discussed – sometimes heatedly – which end up having little to no tangible impact on the public at large.

These matters typically don’t make it to press, unless we fill the paper with gripping headlines such as “Stuff Considered” and “Things Discussed.”

However, Ocean City Today attempts to keep track – with the assistance of strong coffee – of these various tidbits of fiduciary insight, in case they become matters of importance later. For the record: *** While purchasing a commemorative bench on the Boardwalk is a great way to make sure someone is remembered for years to come, it’s also a great way to create maintenance costs for years to come.

Despite cutbacks in other areas, the amount of human and financial resources devoted to the Public Works Department’s maintenance division continues to creep up. One major factor, it was pointed out, was the cost of repairing and refurbishing the Boardwalk benches.

When the bench sponsorship program began, Public Works Director Hal Adkins noted, the city decided to charge $300 more than the actual cost of the bench. This money was intended to cover future maintenance.

As it turned out, this isn’t nearly enough. As Terry Steimer, the public works supervisor for the Boardwalk, told the City Council, “The benches just don’t stand up in our environment.”

The metal sides are frequently repainted by city staff, but Steimer said benches periodically must be fully disassembled and refinished by the manufacturer, at a cost of $800, because of corrosion at the bolt points and other failures.

However, Adkins said, the contract that bench sponsors sign in-

cludes a provision that, at any time, the city may assess a service fee for bench repair. This has never been done, Adkins said, as the consensus is that sending a bill to every bench sponsor would be a hassle, and not well received. But it is an option at the council’s discretion. *** One of the few places that the city explicitly discriminates between residents and visitors is in recreation fees. But that gap is closing.

The city’s program fees for camps, clinics and other offerings from the Recreation and Parks Department are set on a dual scale. Those who own property in town, or who live full-time at a property in town (even if they do not own it) are offered a lower rate.

With each city budget, in order to keep up with rising costs, these fee scales are raised by a few dollars.

As Councilman Wayne Hartman pointed out, however, raising both scales by the same dollar amount will gradually reduce the relative difference between resident and visitor costs.

“That disparity shrinks if you keep doing the same thing. The percentage difference decreases,” Hartman said, noting that the department’s programs division runs a $1.3 million deficit, made up for with the city’s general revenue fund.

“All I want is to make sure that residents who are making that subsidy are feeling a benefit for their tax dollars,” Hartman said.

Here’s a thought experiment: according to the U.S. Census, the average value of an owner-occupied home in Ocean City is $290,600. At next year’s tentative tax rate of 47.8 cents per $100 of value, the average homeowner is paying $1,389 in property taxes above what they would pay in an unincorporated area of the county.

The average household income in town is $54,677, although one must assume not all of this is discretionary spending for recreation programs.

With 7,092 residents in 3,263 households, the average residence has 2.17 people.

The federal poverty line for a family of two is $15,930, meaning that the average Ocean City household has $38,747 of discretionary spending, of which 3.6 percent is spent on additional taxes necessitated by the town.

Make of that what you will. *** On the long list of unfunded initiatives that City Manager David Recor presented to the council, the costliest personnel item is the need to replace some part-time and seasonal 911 dispatchers with full-time personnel.

While one employee is budgeted for a promotion that will allow him or her to take on additional duties, the city’s emergency communications division still needs four more full-time

THE BUDGET PROCESS

City street cuts: asphalt Wild West dispatchers, at a cost of $175,692 including salary and benefits, and a full-time training coordinator, at $57,957, to hit optimum staffing.

While most people don’t give it much thought, the 911 system is a difficult operation to run, especially in Ocean City, where the need fluctuates with the time of year. Different types of calls require different qualifications and training, which not all seasonal staff have.

“We’re always getting hit with new certifications and duties, so it’s more important that our staff be fully certified and familiar with how we do things day-to-day,” said Janet Guiton, the call center’s supervisor.

Any further discussion of hiring more full-time dispatchers, however, will likely include issues about the lack of support to the city from higher agencies.

Currently, the state recognizes Worcester County – and not the Town of Ocean City – as the primary agency for the resort. 911 calls made in the city go first to the county center in Snow Hill, and are then re-routed to the city’s dispatch at 65th Street if the call is in town. Callers often think they have been disconnected during the transfer and hang up, wasting precious response time.

Further, the city does not directly

receive any state 911 assistance funding. All of these funds go the county.

In turn, the county’s annual grant to the city for public safety assistance should include some of this cost – but this is wrapped up in the clash between the city and county over duplication of emergency services, with the city demanding much more of a

‘We’re always getting hit with new certifications and duties, so it’s more important that our staff be fully certified and familiar with how we do things day-to-day’ Janet Guiton, dispatch supervisor reimbursement than it gets.

Thus, any further hiring for city dispatch will likely follow a renewed effort to have 911 calls, and money, sent directly to the city instead of through the county.

Several years ago, when the effort was last discussed, it was found that about 95,000 of the 125,000 emergency calls made in Worcester were for Ocean City.

Last year, Guiton said, her division processed 99,063 calls.

*** With the city’s system of permits and permit fees being vast and often confusing, council members were surprised to find that one of the most disruptive activities in town has one of the lowest permit costs.

Contractors are required to notify the city’s Public Works Department whenever they are cutting into city streets to work on utility lines beneath. However, the fee for such a permit is only $1 per square foot of roadway.

This caused some consternation, given the volume of street cuts that have been done this spring, particularly by contractors from gas utility Sandpiper Energy. Council members described certain areas of the resort as looking like “patchwork quilts” with uneven pieces of backfill.

Public Works Construction Manager Woody Vickers said the permits were simply designed to keep the city abreast of what was being done, and not as a revenue compensator. Raising the rate was unlikely to make utilities more judicious with cuts.

Rather, Vickers explained that the town of Laurel, Del., where he was previously employed, adopted an ordinance stating that if a certain number of cuts were made within a See GARBAGE Page 22

Service Commission before the end of 2015 to file a new Service Improvement Rate request. The SIR is the surcharge that the utility places on customers’ bills to cover the cost of capital improvements, as directed by the commission.

If a city paving policy would affect this rate, or by how much, has yet to be seen. Vickers is scheduled to present a new street cut policy proposal to the council in the coming weeks. *** In his message to the council, Recor described his staff’s approach as a “current level of service� method.

In layman’s terms, this means not raising taxes while also not taking any stuff away that will affect the public.

In Ocean City, more specifically, this means not charging for trash pickup. Almost every year, the council touches on the fact that the city’s solid waste division costs $5.7 million to run, but brings in almost no revenue, since the city offers several days per week of free trash pickup to both residential and commercial properties.

Thus, the city would end up with considerable headroom in its general fund if made solid waste self-sustaining.

Current thinking, however, is that it would ultimately be better to raise taxes than to start charging for garbage collection. Property taxes are deductible for state and federal returns, while garbage fees are not.

Thus, paying for garbage by subsidizing it with tax revenue actually costs a little bit less for taxpayers.

The only objection to this is that it can be inequitable. If your land value is the same as your neighbor’s, you’re essentially paying the same for trash service, even though your property may be residential, and his is a

restaurant that produces tons of food garbage.

There are various other ways to divide the cost based on what was being serviced, something that city staff tracks closely. According to Solid Waste Manager Steve Brown, his department attends to the following: • 5,000 single-family homes, including mobile homes and townhouses. • 22,767 condo units. • 1,305 business establishments in 470 separate properties. • 334 hotels and motels with roughly 8,000 total rooms. • 402 apartment or dorm buildings with 1,526 rooms. *** While the city’s budget for events is projected to run through about $1.8 million per year, it also brings in $1.6 million through sponsorships, sales and fees.

This part of the budget is always a particularly tricky one, since the city always wants to bring in more business with bigger and better events. At the same time, there’s only so much money that can be fed into something whose benefit is difficult to quantify.

To that end, city Special Events Director Frank Miller has continued to work on two systems that will help the city judge how to treat events. A schedule of fees for every cost incurred to the city is already in effect, and a return-on-investment worksheet to calculate the economic impact of a given event is being finalized

by Miller.

These tools are only effective if used, and the council often has differences over how they should be applied.

Just this week, Councilman Wayne Hartman asked why the city was not including the equipment costs of barricades and traffic cones into an event.

The response from Councilman Dennis Dare was that the events had not explicitly asked for the equipment, but that these were needs the city was adding in for its own operational purposes. “Staff is spending a lot of time looking at the cost of these and realizing these fees,� Hartman countered. “Our staff has indicated they would really like to see us stick with those fees and support what they’re doing, because that’s what it takes to put these events on.�

Factually, Hartman is correct. The bulk of the cost of events isn’t in what the events directly use, but in the ancillary support costs, regardless of whether the event organizers are cognizant of them.

If the city isn’t going to charge the whole cost of behind-the-scenes support from public works, police, and other outfits, then it will have to come to terms with the special event budget deficit growing.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) After hearing the results of a Municap study during their first meeting in April, and evaluating funding options for EDUs in an effort to spark more development in the Riddle Farm area, the commissioners first sent the matter to the Water and Sewer Commission, who made a recommendation the board ignored at first, but later relented under pressure from lawyers.

The recommendation was to keep the existing system and rates in place.

In 2014 the commissioners hired Columbia, Md. consulting firm Municap, Inc., to review the situation and provide options other than the current cash on the barrelhead structure.

Municap presented three options, the first of which was, naturally, to keep the existing system in place.

The second implements tax increment financing, which assumes an interested tenant would pay the $18,600 price and would allow the county to recapture its $5,000 share through the increase in property tax revenue the business would hopefully generate.

Municap acknowledged the cost to the county with the counterpoint being if the development opportunity was lost, no tax increase would be possible anyway.

The third option would allow the

EDU purchaser to either pay the entire cost up front, or finance the county’s $5,000 portion over 20 years as a special, interest-bearing, tax.

Through discussion at the Water and Sewer Commission, Commissioner President M. Jim Bunting said another option emerged as an enhanced version of the third option.

Hearing all this, Commissioner A. Chip Bertino made a motion to keep the existing system, which died due to lack of a second.

County Attorney J. Sonny Bloxom stepped in.

He said there are developers “very interested in moving forward, and the longer this goes on the more delay is created.”

Mark Cropper, attorney for Goody Taylor, the private portion of the public/private partnership created to manage the water and sewer of Riddle Farm, was invited to speak.

“It’s imperative I make myself abundantly clear. My client has always supported what Bill Badger could do to support the development of these properties. The mere consideration [of a price adjustment] is enough for certain property owners to put things off. Mr. Bloxom is correct, finality is key,” Cropper said.

Bloxom continued.

“His client has a purchaser for 60 EDUs, and the longer this drags out the longer it’s going to take,” Bloxom said.

Bertino renewed his motion to keep the existing full freight EDU purchase structure, which the board then accepted unanimously.

POLICE/COURTS

Church burglary Donovan Smith, 47, of Quantico, Md. was arrested on April 13 for allegedly breaking into a local church and stealing money from their petty cash drawer last summer.

On June 26, officers of the Ocean City police department met with the office manager at the church and was informed the suspect allegedly gained entry through a window.

The report states the window’s screen was on the ground and it appeared that someone tampered with it.

Inside the church, police observed the parish office door handle was loose and the glass door shattered.

The manager told police $14 was stolen and there did not appear to be anything else missing or damaged in the church.

The broken glass office door cost $75 and officers processed where the suspect made entry into the church for latent fingerprints.

On Nov. 18, 2014, the Ocean City Forensics Unit was notified by the Maryland State Police Lab that the fingerprints recovered from the scene belonged to Smith.

On Dec. 12, an interview was conducted with Smith who allegedly told police it was possible he committed the church burglary when he was “blacked-out drunk,” and so could not remember for certain.

Also, he allegedly told officers he had been to the church on other occasions for food and drinks.

A warrant for Smith’s arrest went out on Feb. 27 and he was finally ar-

rested last week.

Smith was charged with second degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and theft less than $1,000.

Driving recklessly Nicholas Jones, 25, of Glen Burnie, Md. was arrested on April 18 after getting pulled over and police allegedly found an assisted opening knife in his possession.

An Ocean City police officer stopped Jones for skidding and negligent driving.

His vehicle apparently did not have the front Maryland plate securely attached and the tint on his windows was determined to be a state violation. Police gave Jones a warning.

About 20 minutes later, an officer allegedly watched Jones pass his and another police vehicle with lights on and did not switch lanes despite having no obstructions to prevent the lane change.

The officer followed Jones as he used the bus lane to pass a few slower vehicles and pulled him over.

Jones failed to display his registration and was using a historic vehicle to carry two passengers, which is in violation of historic registered vehicle regulations.

Another officer arrived on scene with his K9 partner who alerted police to the presence of controlled dangerous substances.

A search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered an assisted opening knife and Jones was arrested.

He was taken to the Public Safety Building and allegedly told officers when he returned to Ocean City for court he would keep the knife.

He was charged with possessing a knife, failure to make a lane change immediately adjacent to a stopped emergency vehicle, failure to obey properly placed traffic control device instructions, failure to display registration card, operating a vehicle on the highway with unauthorized window tinting material, failure to securely fasten registration plate to the vehicle and unlawful use of vehicle registration as a historic motor vehicle.

Drunken collision Marlaina DeCarlo, 25, of College Park, Md. was arrested on April 14 after crashing her friend’s car.

Upon arrival, Ocean City police officers met with a witness who allegedly saw the entire incident.

The witness told police a woman was traveling at a high speed when she lost control, struck a curb, a median and a traffic sign support pole on Coastal Highway.

Weather conditions were poor with heavy rain and standing water on the roadway.

Police observed the vehicle DeCarlo was driving, which allegedly had front end damage, air bags deployed and both drivers side tires were deflated from the accident.

The report states police smelled alcohol on DeCarlo and noted she had bloodshot eyes. In addition, her pupils were dilated, she was talka-

tive, had a dry mouth and was excited.

Police noted she was forgetful and she asked them the same questions three times.

Police suspected DeCarlo to be impaired by a controlled dangerous substance in addition to alcohol consumption, the report states.

She allegedly failed field sobriety tests with poor balance, was arrested and blew a .10.

Police went to the hotel DeCarlo was staying and talked to a witness who said she allegedly forcefully opened his closed apartment door and entered without his consent.

In addition, police met with DeCarlo’s friend who allegedly told police she wanted to report her car stolen before they could tell her what happened.

She continued to tell police she suspected DeCarlo of taking it and specifically told her not to drive her car.

Another witness at the hotel stated he drove the two girls’ home prior to the incident and he allegedly stated DeCarlo was “too drunk to drive.”

DeCarlo was charged with 16 violations including unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, burglary in the fourth degree, driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, negligent and reckless driving, driving on a median strip and driving a vehicle without the owner’s consent.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER BRIEFS

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following issues during their most recent regular meeting.

County health plan Keeping the existing healthcare plan offered to current employees of the county would cost 11.1 percent more than last year, or $3.4 million according to county HR Director George Bradley.

In light of the situation three options were developed. The first recommended by the health benefits review committee would increase the cost by 6.85 percent, or $2.1 million, with a projected savings of $1.3 million. The second would increase cost by 6.1 percent, or $1.9 million, with a projected savings of $1.5 million. Finally, the third would not increase costs at

all, saving $3.4 million, but would likely increase costs over time, Bradley said.

The commissioners chose to ignore the recommendation of the committee and selected the second option.

County recertified Certified counties are entitled to keep 75 percent of the agricultural transfer tax collected rather than 33 percent, and are also eligible for 60 percent additional matching funds to purchase easements, when such funding is available.

The cost to recertify is about $8,700.

If not recertified, those taxes collected in Worcester County will go to other counties who are certified for use in this program.

Commissioner Ted Elder voted against recertification.

Power Boat Race

Consultant hired

The Offshore Power Boat Association National Championship Offshore Power Boat Race will be finished in the amount of time it took to type this sentence.

The October event comes to the shore every other year according to Tourism Director Lisa Challenger, and brings with it an estimated crowd of 6,000.

The county granted permission to use a portion of the West Ocean City commercial harbor parking lot during the event.

Because of the time-sensitive nature of construction at Eagle’s Landing, where the effluent from the Mystic Harbour WWTP is to be disposed of, the county chose to hire their preferred consultant to design the system before the money has come in from the USDA. The money will be reimbursed once the permanent funding has been allocated.

CBDG plan approved The county must maintain a citizen participation plan to disseminate information on how the county’s $800,000 in grants funding has been spent.

The plan must be updated every three years, and the current plan will expire on May 1. The commissioners approved the updated plan, which includes newspaper advertisements and paper copies available in Snow Hill.

DLC wins exclusive rights Craft Wine and Spirits LLC has signed a one-year contract with the Department of Liquor Control to be the exclusive vendor for their line of products.

Craft Wine and Spirits formerly utilized Republic National as their distributor.

DLC Director Bobby Cowger estimates profits from the sales to be about $75,000.

Electrical code tabled Several commissioners found the revised electrical codes too vague, especially with regards to low-volt systems, and decided to table the measure until their next legislative session on May 19.

E-1 zoning to be restored If the legislation takes effect after a public hearing on May 19, watercraft storage will be coming back to the E1 zoning district.

The use was removed in anticipation of the elimination of the E-1 zoning classification, but it was never eliminated, so the use is being restored.

House ceded to Snow Hill It is the intention of the Worcester County to declare the Oscar Purnell house, located at 107 East Market Street in Snow Hill, surplus property, granting it to Snow Hill.

Snow Hill Mayor J. Charlie Dorman said the town would renovate the building to serve as a new Town Hall.

BOARD OF ED BRIEFS

Mathias, Carozza claim victories Budget, local impacts and issues will carry legislators into next year’s session

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The Shore’s representatives in both houses and across the aisle in the Maryland General Assembly have good things to say about the 2015 session, despite some of the acrimony over the budget in the final days.

“I have a degree of dissatisfaction with the conference committee report in that it didn’t come out the way I wanted. I’m concerned it moved too far away from what Gov. Hogan proposed,” Delegate Mary Beth Carozza said.

“I was pleased with the bipartisanship almost the whole trip up until the very end,” Senator Jim Mathias said. “When he presented it, Gov. Hogan said, ‘This is my plan, but if you find money, we’ll look at it.’”

When the legislature found the money they were looking for, how they got it and what they wanted to spend it on became issues.

“We backfilled money for education, a cost-of-living adjustment and Medicaid,” Mathias said.

The money was derived, Mathias

said, from a revision to pension plans. Stocks performed better than expected, Mathias explained, leaving $150 million in unexpected additional funding, half of which was used to provide the money for the backfill.

“I continue to be very cautious in building the pension fund and not tapping it for spending today,” Carozza said, “but we can use this to build upon in the future.”

Carozza said the current budget limited spending growth to 1.3 percent, where the norm had been between five and seven percent in previous years.

Both are now laying the groundwork for next session, which convenes on Jan. 13, 2016 at noon.

“I’m going to use that time to meet with constituents, because the best ideas come from those meetings,” she said.

Determining how to implement the ideas is, to Carozza, almost as important as the ideas themselves.

“In certain areas, the challenge is to find if it’s a regulatory issue or requires a legislative solution. Sometimes there’s a way to resolve things with good ol’ constituent work. Legislation can be hard, so we need to see where regulation can help instead of a more broad legislative effort,” she said.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The Board of Education held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 21, and these are a few of the topics discussed:

Mathias wants to build on his achievements this session and plans to meet with constituents every day to discuss issues.

“I’m here to serve my constituency. A balanced budget and funding education are really the only jobs we do. We need to decide how to make school after Labor Day more attractive to its opponents. I’m pleased with keeping the phosphorus management tool from being implemented,” he said.

Gov. Hogan pulled the phosphorus management tool legislation on his first day in office and rather than send it through legislative route, the measure was passed as a regulation.

“It’s a tremendous way to accomplish the same goal. To do this as regulation is easier to change and modify as the findings come in, and it gives people extra time and opportunity to work together. We can see how to make it work for both the environmental and farming communities,” Mathias said.

Both officials were pleased with the passage of the bill allowing Seacrets to open a craft distillery on its 49th Street property. The nightclub had been distilling its own liquor in Delaware.

They also agreed that shoaling at the inlet was a major issue requiring immediate attention.

Attendance policy The Board adopted some changes to their current attendance policy, which primarily focuses on habitually-absent students. Instead of broad terms, specific numbers were given to attack absences early. Students cannot miss more than eight days per marking period, 15 days in a semester or 20 days in a school year.

In addition, a code for early dismissal will be added to the PowerSchool online system. Currently, early dismissals are handled by hard copy only.

Budget information There will be a May 5 public, county budget meeting at 7 p.m. at Snow Hill Middle School where they will discuss a considered 15.7 cents tax increase to afford the $22 million deficit.

Replacing gym flooring The Board approved a bid to replace gym flooring at BIS, Pocomoke and Snow Hill Middle schools.

CRICKET Center to host Walk for Kids, Sunday Second annual fundraiser to benefit org. which helps abused, traumatized youth

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) To bring attention to Child Abuse Awareness Month and raise funds for its operations, the non-profit CRICKET Center in Berlin will hold its second annual Walk for Kids on the Boardwalk this Sunday, April 26.

“Part of our mission as the only child advocacy center in Worcester County is prevention,” said CRICKET Center Executive Director Wendy Myers. “Get the word out – there are tangible ways to protect our kids and it takes a community to do so.”

Registration begins at 11 a.m. at Hooters, on Fifth Street and the Boardwalk with the walk kicking off at noon. There is a $25 donation that includes the walk, a commemorative token and a two-hour reception at Hooters.

“It will be a fun time and the weather is looking good,” Myers said.

The route starts at Hooters with walkers heading down to the inlet, turning around and coming back, which is a little more than a mile, Myers said. Others may decide to keep going down to 27th Street.

There will be Girl Scout volunteers along the route with water and prizes will be awarded to top fundraisers who hand in their pledge sheets at the race or before, Myers said.

All participants who raise more than $75 will receive a T-shirt.

The adult group that raises the most funds will receive a crab feast including drinks and Ocean City gift certificates.

The youth group with the most donated money will have a pizza party delivered complete with cookies or cupcakes and soda.

An individual under 21 who raises the most money will receive tickets to the Shorebirds, passes to Jolly Rodger, free games for Old Pro Golf and a McDonald’s gift card.

The individual adult basket winner acquires gift certificates including one from BJ’s on the Water, Ocean City wine glasses, a collector bottle of wine from the Cricket Center and other goodies.

All participants are invited to attend a reception at Hooters after the walk from 1-3 p.m. There will be an assortment of complimentary foods, soft drinks, happy hour prices for alcohol and a raffle.

The raffle will include items such as tickets to Nationals and Orioles games, a cooler, a mirror beer sign and a Hooters prize package with 200 wings and four pitchers of beer.

“Hooters is very generous and we appreciate them,” Myers said. “Many fundraiser sponsors require organizations to pay for the food and alcohol. To have someone who says … ‘every dime raised goes to you and your kids,’ it’s pretty special.”

Last year, 111 participants raised more than $5,000 for the CRICKET Center.

“Our goal is to surpass that number and with $3,300 raised so far, we are sure to exceed it with people registering at the event,” Myers said.

The Children’s Resource Intervention Center, Kids Empowerment Team (CRICKET) Center employees work as a comprehensive team to investigate, prosecute and treat child physical and sexual abuse by minimizing the trauma, preventing further victimization and promoting emotional healing for the victim and their loved ones.

They partner with local law enforcement, Atlantic General Hospital, Life Crisis, Inc., the Board of Education, child protection workers and the State’s Attorney Office.

The non-profit provides a variety of free services to children and their families including a 24-hour response, on-site forensic medical exam by a SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner) nurse, on-site therapist, on-site forensic interviewers, an on-site family advocate, community education on child abuse, an assessment and investigation of child neglect, physical, sexual, and mental abuse, and when warranted by evidence the prosecution of offenders.

The CRICKET Center in Berlin is one of two accredited child advocacy centers on the Eastern Shore by the National Children’s Alliance with the other located in Talbot, Myers said.

The nonprofit organization relies heavily on grants and donations to provide victims and their families with the help they need.

The next event is the 2015 Pig & A Jig BBQ Festival, which will be lo-

cated at Snow Hill Auto Body on Route 113 on Friday, May 29, from 4-10 p.m. and Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The event includes professional and amateur BBQ competitions with $9,000 in prizes, live music, beer, food, amusement rides and entertainment. For more information visit www.pigandajig.org.

“Preston Motors is sponsoring the event and it’s always very fun,” Myers said. “It’s the third year we have held this event and the first year we partnered with the BBQ Fes-

tival and will continue that partnership.”

The CRICKET Center’s largest, annual fundraiser takes place at Seacrets for “Jamaican a Difference, ‘Mon” on Oct. 16 from 6-10 p.m. It costs $65 a person with a two hour open bar, hors d’oeuvres, raffles and a silent action. When Worldz Collide will provide live entertainment at the event.

Register online at www.thecricketcenter.com and for more information contact Myers at 410-641-0097 or wendy.myers@maryland.gov.

OBITUARIES FRANKLIN “FRANK” SINGLETARY Selbyville Mr. Franklin Singletary of Selbyville, Del. passed away on Friday, April 10, 2015. He was 89 years old.

Frank was born Oct. 3, 1925 to the late David and Sadie Singletary in Middlesex, N.C. At the age of 17 he volunteered to serve his country in the United States Navy for two years on board the destroyer USS Bush DD529. His ship was in Pearl Harbor during the attack that launched WWII. He was decorated with the Purple Heart, along with 270 other men from his ship resulting from that day.

After being discharged from the Navy, he married the love of his life, Minnie B. Hagans in 1947. From this union four children were born, Benjamin F. Singletary Jr. (wife, Beverly)

of Dagsboro, Del., Crama Hardy of Las Vegas, Nev., Lemuel E. Singletary (wife, Suzanne) of Fayetteville, N.C. and Christopher V. Singletary of Germany.

Franklin and Minnie moved to Delaware in 1949 and became members of St. John A.M.E. Church giving themselves unto the Lord in 1952. He served as trustee, choir member, with the Messenger Men’s Group for 40 years and did maintenance around the church. His favorite songs were “He Touched Me,” “I don’t Worry About Tomorrow” and “Farther Along.” He also received the Honorary Man of the Year Award twice, as well as Honorary Trustee for his reasonable service.

Franklin was employed by Showell Poultry and Perdue Farms for a total of 26 years. He also was a volunteer at

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, 2015, the estimated real property assessable base will decrease by .7% from $14,356,932,361 to $14,255,656,135.

2. If Worcester County maintains the current tax rate of $.77 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will decrease by .7% resulting in a $779,827 reduction in real property tax revenues.

3. In order to fully offset the effect of decreasing assessments, the real property tax rate could be increased to $.7755, the constant yield tax rate.

4. The County is considering increasing its real property tax rate above the constant yield tax rate. The County proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $.9325 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is 20.2% higher than the constant yield tax rate and will generate $22,381,380 in real property tax revenues.

Army vet opens Sunset Cycles motorcycle shop

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Sunset Cycles owner, Manny Perez, decided to quit his job as a government contractor making six figures, cash in some of his 401K, sell his custom motorcycle and open up his dream shop on Rt. 611 in West Ocean City behind the Decatur Business Center last Saturday.

“One of the things I noticed about Ocean City is there is nowhere to buy motorcycle or riding gear or a place nearby who services motorcycles,” Perez said.

The new business offers a variety of services for motorcycles including tune ups, oil changes, light kits, breaks, batteries, fluids, tires, belt and chain replacements, required manufacture services, bolt-ons and towing services.

Perez charges $65 an hour for his services, “we’re here to service the community and hope people come out and take advantage,” he said.

In addition, Sunset Cycles provides winter storage for motorcycles, as well as tune up kits and fluids for people who want to service their motorcycle on their own.

Their retail store sells gear, clothing, gadgets, accessories, hats, jewelry, wallets, leather items and other important motorcycle gear.

Motorcycles come second nature to Perez, who spent 11 years of active

duty in the Army before he became a government contractor and joined the Maryland Army National Guard.

Eight years ago, Perez became certified to teach motorcycle rider safety, which is another service Sunset Cycles will be offering in West Ocean City.

Spring Restaurant Week in full swing at resort eateries

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The ninth annual Ocean City Spring Restaurant Week is in full swing, with 21 establishments participating in the event designed to draw customers to local businesses as well as provide chefs with the opportunity to show what innovative dishes they have to offer.

Eateries will feature special, fixedprice menus at $10, $20, $30, $40 for lunch and dinner in addition to offering regular menu items until May 3.

“We encourage people to continue to take advantage of the promotion before it ends,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “It’s an opportunity for people to try something they have never had before at a set price, which makes it easier to budget and there are some great menus out there.”

Feedback from the first week has been positive and restaurants are seeing an increase in customers dining out, Jones said.

Bourbon Street on the Beach reported an outstanding response to the fall Restaurant Week and owner Barry Reichart was really busy on Sunday as the spring event kicked off.

had a lot more customers than expected and all week we have reservations lined up,” he added.

The 116th Street restaurant will be offering three courses for $30 or four courses for $35 including appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts.

“During Restaurant Week we like to showcase items on our regular menu like our Bourbon Street Steak, which comes with a salad and appetizer for only $30, it’s a steal, Reichart said. “In addition to adding a couple of new items.”

Look forward to favorites cooked from scratch including chargrilled oysters, lobster ravioli with crab Alfredo and jambalaya, he added.

The Hobbit Restaurant on 81st Street reported a great crowd on Tuesday night and did well on Sunday and Monday as well, Jones said.

They offer three courses for $35 with a number of choices such as crab cakes, slow cooked short rib, Italian stuffed shells and maple-glazed salmon.

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

“We try to be creative and round out selections, but our customers are used to our good, consistent food,” said owner Madlyn Carder. “We’re not the fanciest restaurant, but when you walk in the door you know you will get a quality product and that has kept us in business the past 36 years.”

BJ’s will be offering a $20 lunch menu with three courses including soups, salads and sandwiches. The dinner menu costs $30 with the choice of four courses including selections such as crab imperial, ravioli and a New York strip.

Jones mentioned a few other deals offered at local restaurants, which will last until Sunday, May 3.

Longboard Café on 67th Street will have two courses for $10 on the lunch menu, which features a selection of sal-

ads, burgers, sandwiches and tacos. The dinner menu features three courses for $40.

A $10 menu will be available at Happy Jack Pancake House with creative items on the menu including a crabby grilled cheese and croissant French toast, which is two flaky croissants dipped in cinnamon-egg batter and grilled, Jones said.

“They (Happy Jack) are thrilled with the promotion and have had many requests from the special menu,” Jones said.

Touch of Italy will offer three courses for $24.95 starting at 5 p.m. each night during Restaurant Week.

A three-course menu for $30 will be offered at Jules Restaurant on 118th Street, including a New York strip with a Jack Daniels tarragon cream sauce, aged Vermont cheddar infused mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.

“It’s a great opportunity for chefs to go off the usual menu and prepare dishes they haven’t before,” Jones said.

Restaurant Week has been pushed up earlier in the year three times since its inception. The inaugural event was held in early June, then a few years later it was moved to mid-May and this year marks the first time Restaurant Week will be in April, she added.

“Several of the restaurants thought it would be a good idea to move Restaurant Week to get business going and kick off the season earlier,” Jones said.

Carder explained how these days with a variety of quality restaurants available across the Route 50 and 90 bridges it is harder to get locals into Ocean City to dine especially in the shoulder months when restaurants are emptier.

“The hope is Restaurant Week will entice locals to cross the bridge to see what is offered on the different menus and restaurants,” Carder said. “We hope people really enjoy themselves and realSee RESTAURANT Page 35

Continued from Page 33 The motorcycle rider training classes will be private, one-on-one sessions designed with convenience in mind.

“How long it takes is dependent on their ability and how fast they learn, but the difference is they are receiving one-on-one training and learn everything,” Perez said.

For motorcycle lovers who are planning an upcoming wedding, Perez and another Sunset Cycles employee, Krissi Moran, are wedding officiants. In addition, Perez speaks fluent Spanish.

“We plan on catering to the motorcycle community in the area by hopefully officiating their weddings on the beach,” he added.

Sunset Cycles will have ladies’ nights, to teach women about motorcycles and try to get rid of the stigma that it’s only for men. In addition, men’s nights will teach the dos and don’ts of motorcycle riding.

A goal of Sunset Cycles is to give back to the community and hold fundraisers for local non-profit organizations.

Perez is already a member of the Hogs & Heroes Foundation which supports public safety and military personnel.

“We’re going to help drum up money for non-profits and help the EMTs, firefighters and police who save lives every day,” he added.

Perez was introduced to Ocean City by his best friend in 2009 and within a year, he bought a condo in the area.

“I love the roads around here, there are so many beautiful back roads and cornfields where you can just ride and it’s gorgeous,” Perez said.

Sunset Cycles is located at 9748 Stephen Decatur Highway (Rt. 611) behind the Decatur Business Center.

They will be open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

OCEAN CITY GOVT. WAGES 2014 This year’s report This 15th annual Ocean City government payroll report shows that City Hall held the line on wages in the 2014 calendar year. Total pay – base wages, overtime, workers compensation and other contributions – increased by just .8 percent.

Although base pay went up by more than $600,000 and workers compensation payments rose significantly, these advances were moderated by a major decline in overtime expense.

The figures shown on these pages are total W2 wages, with overtime having a major influence in some areas. For instance, a city employee could have a base wage of $50,000 and earn an additional $10,000 in overtime, for a total reported income of $60,000. This is why payroll figures shown for one paygrade might be more than that reported for a higher paygrade.

Another factor to consider in this report is that city government’s budget is based on the fiscal year beginning July 1, while the tax calendar begins on Jan. 1.

As a result, only six months of any increase or decrease in wages budgeted by the city to begin on July 1 are reported in the calendar year.

Finally, it must also be noted that this list is incomplete. We want all columns go on the page evenly, so we cut one line to make it everything fit.

So if anyone is counting, it was a temporary worker who received $21.57. * P indicates part-time employees * T indicates temporary (seasonal) * A indicates appointed members of hearing boards

Decatur girls’ lax team edges out QA’s in overtime

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team edged out defending Bayside Conference champions, the Queen Anne’s Lions, 11-10 in overtime last Friday in Centreville.

“It was quite a game. It was a good, hard-fought game on both sides,” said Decatur Coach Bob Musitano. “It could have gone either way. It was a really nice win.”

Senior Payton VanKirk kicked off the scoring with a goal about two minutes into the game.

Queen Anne’s answered seconds later.

Decatur pulled ahead 4-1 with goals by VanKirk, senior Blair Yesko and sophomore Victoria Kerkovich.

The Lions netted three shots to tie the score 4-4 with less than eight minutes remaining in the first half.

Junior Elle Bargar made it 5-4 Decatur, but Queen Anne’s added a goal and at the break it was even at five each.

VanKirk, Yesko and Bargar capitalized on scoring opportunities to boost the Seahawks’ advantage to 85 in the second half.

The Lions fought back again, putting four shots past Decatur goalie, senior captain Jillian Petito, to take their first lead of the game, 9-8.

Yesko tied it 9-9 with a little over a minute remaining and the game headed into overtime.

Yesko scored in the first threeminute extra period and Decatur led 10-9. Queen Anne’s tied it up in the second overtime period.

With 52 seconds remaining, Bargar was awarded a free position shot.

She capitalized and gave Decatur an 11-10 advantage.

Yesko led Decatur with four goals and an assist. Bargar and VanKirk (three assists) had three goals each.

Kerkovich scored once.

Petito recorded 14 saves.

“I think everybody played hard. I don’t think they expected some of our kids to be as fast as they were,” Musitano said. “Everything had to click, and at the same time … our defense played very well and on offense, when we had the ball, we capitalized on opportunities.

On Monday the Cape Henlopen Vikings, the defending Delaware state champs, traveled to Berlin. Each time Decatur scored in the first half, Cape Henlopen answered. The Seahawks eventually built a small lead. At halftime they led 8-5. Decatur began to pull away in the second half and won

the game 15-9.

“Our transition game worked well.

We got a couple nice goals on transition,” Musitano said.

Yesko was the top producer with five goals and three assists. VanKirk had four goals and an assist and Kerkovich logged three goals. Senior captain Ally Beck (one assist) and sophomores Claire Porter (two assists) and Brigitte Ardis (two assists) each tallied one goal.

Petito stopped 10 Cape Henlopen shots.

Decatur will head to Salisbury today, Friday, to play the Wi-Hi Indians at 5 p.m.

On Monday, the Seahawks will battle Worcester Prep at 4 p.m. on the Mallards’ field.

“All of the girls know each other,” Musitano said of the Seahawks and Mallards. “It will be quite a fight. It’s a cross-town rivalry.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team scored 20 goals and held the Salisbury School Dragons to just one, during Wednesday’s game in Berlin.

“They played hard, they were focused and they took care of business,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. “We did a lot of good things.”

The Mallards netted six shots in the first quarter and added eight goals in the second to go into the halftime break with a 14-0 lead.

The Prep squad increased its advantage to 18 before Salisbury School tallied a goal with eight minutes remaining in the match.

Junior captain Wyatt Richins was Worcester’s top producer with five goals and an assist. Tucker Brown, a freshman, chipped in with four goals.

Sophomore Trent Marshall contributed three goals. Freshman Brendan Miller, sophomore Reid Carey and junior Noah McVicker logged two goals apiece.

Jason Cook, a junior, had one goal.

Junior assistant captain Ross Dickerson won 17 of 19 face-offs and scooped up nine ground balls. He also scored a goal.

Junior assistant captain Wade Walter played in goal in the first half, making one save. Freshman Jack Fager took over in the second half and stopped three Salisbury shots.

Staton Whaley, a junior, and freshman Sam Cantello recorded five and four assists, respectively.

Worcester will host St. Andrews, today, Friday, at 4 p.m. and Eleanor Roosevelt on Saturday at 1 p.m.

The Mallards will battle Stephen Decatur on the Seahawks’ field Monday at 5:30 p.m.

Lady Mallards win match-up with ESIAC rival, STPP, 10-9 LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

(Above) Worcester Prep senior Cecily Sass takes on a Saints Peter & Paul player during last Friday's game in Berlin. Worcester edged out its opponent 10-9. (Right) Prep senior captain Sophie Brennan turns on her Saints Peter & Paul defender and heads to the goal during the match. Brennan netted three goals, including the game-winner.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) When the Worcester Prep and Saints Peter & Paul girls’ lacrosse teams went head-to-head on March 31 in Easton, the Lady Mallards won 15-3. Their second match-up was much closer.

Last Friday, the Sabres traveled to Berlin to take on the Mallards and it was a back-and-forth battle between the two Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals.

Goals were traded in the first half, and at the break the score was tied 4-4.

The visiting Sabres pulled ahead 5-4 three minutes into the second half, but Prep senior captain Sophie Brennan answered soon after.

Junior Grace Tunis gave Worcester the go-ahead goal and sophomore Karlie Southcomb boosted the team’s advantage to 7-5 with 18:17 remaining in the game.

Saints Peter & Paul cut the Prep squad’s lead to one 40 seconds later.

Goals by senior captain Molly Soulè and Southcomb put Worcester on top 9-6 with 14 minutes to play.

The Sabres netted three unanswered shots to even the score at 9-all with 3:29 left in the competition.

With about a minute and a half on the clock, Brennan was fouled and awarded a free shot.

As she prepared to take her shot, Brennan said several things ran through her head.

“I knew that we needed a goal because it was tied and it was pretty heated,” she said. “I was just thinking how much I really want to win and how we need this goal. I knew what to do, just concentrate on putting it in the goal.”

She put the ball in the back of the net to provide Worcester with a 10-9 lead.

“It was exciting to score the goal and it was definitely nice to pull out a close game, but there’s no reason this game should have been as close as it was,” Brennan said. “We’re going to see them again and it can’t be this close. It can be anybody’s game when it’s this close.

We’ve got to keep our heads up. I think we got down a little bit, but we pulled it together and it was a good win.”

Brennan finished the game with three goals. Southcomb contributed with four goals and an assist. Tunis (one assist), Soulè (one assist) and sophomore Leigh Lingo scored one goal apiece.

Seahawks face stiff competition during meet

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ outdoor track team finished in second place while the boys’ squad took third during the four-school meet last Wednesday in Stevensville.

“We went against some of our toughest competition so far,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “We have the Bayside [Conference championship] meet [on May 1] so we’ve got to step it up a little bit. We’ve got to continue to grow and keep getting better.”

Kent Island won the girls’ competi-

tion with 120.5 points. Decatur was runner-up with 109.5 points. North Dorchester and Wi-Hi scored 23 and 16 points, respectively, for third and fourth place.

Lady Seahawks who earned individual victories were seniors Jenna Reimer (1,600 Jody Stigler meters, 5:55; 3,200 meters, 12:57.9), Hannah Wilson (high jump, 4 feet 10 inches), Amari Harmon (100-meter dash, 13.6 seconds;

long jump, 15 feet 2 inches) and juniors Emily Cook (100-meter hurdles, 17.3 seconds) and Takia Long (shot put, 28 feet 5 inches).

Harmon, sophomores Claire Billings and Jessica Wharton and senior Emily Kolarik took top honors in the 400-meter relay race (56.1 seconds).

Billings, Cook, Harmon and Katie Hofman, a junior, topped their competition in the 800-meter relay event (1:57.3).

Reimer, juniors Alison Alvarado and Rachel Savage and senior Meya

Chilengi placed first in the 3,200meter relay race (11:05).

Kent Island won the boys’ competition with 94.5 points. Wi-Hi (83.5), Decatur (72) and North Dorchester (22) finished second through fourth.

Senior Parker Harrington scored victories in the 800- (2:07.8) and 1,600-meter events (4:43.9).

Sophomore Justin Longest threw the shot put 39 feet 7 inches, good for first place. Evan Haas, a junior, won the pole vault event (10 feet 6 inches).

The next track meet is Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Ridgely.

Decatur shuts out Snow Hill, 10-0; falls to Rams, 5-1

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) It wasn’t their best performance, but the Stephen Decatur Seahawks managed to score 10 runs in six innings against the Snow Hill Eagles in Berlin on Tuesday.

“Pretty lackluster effort I thought.

Not a whole lot of energy,” Decatur baseball Coach Rich Ferro said. “We just didn’t really have a good offensive approach, worrying about things they can’t control like umpires calls, stuff like that.

[It was] a little bit of everything. Little bit of physical and mental deficiencies.”

The Seahawks tallied three runs in the third, three in the fourth and four in the sixth to end the game by slaughter rule.

Seniors Austin Dundore, Justin Meekins and Ryan Bennett and junior Zach Adams each had a hit. Meekins added two RBIs. Freshman Tristan McDonough struck out five, allowed two hits and walked one in six innings.

After the game, Ferro said he told the Seahawks that they needed to come ready to play against the Parkside Rams on Wednesday.

He hoped they would play with more energy then they did against Snow Hill and “be ready to play with some passion.”

With several Major League Baseball scouts watching, Parkside scored first, but Decatur answered in the fourth. The visiting Rams’ bench was loud, cheering on teammates and taunting the Seahawks. They tacked on two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to lead 5-1.

Decatur was unable to produce at the plate as Parkside pitcher Hunter Parsons struck out 13 Seahawks.

The Berlin squad will look to bounce back after the loss when the Seahawks face the Wi-Hi Indians on Monday at 4 p.m. in Berlin. When the teams went head-to-head on April 7 in Salisbury, Decatur won 10-0 in five innings.

Decatur boys’ lax team logs 12-1 win over Queen Anne’s

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) After a scoreless first quarter, the Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team tallied 12 goals in three quarters to win last Friday’s game against the Queen Anne’s Lions in Berlin, 12-1.

“We couldn’t link passes and put the shots away [in the first quarter],” said Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum.

Before the start of the second quarter, Lathroum said to his players that “the defense is playing well, on offense, we have the looks we just have to finish it.”

Seventeen seconds into the second quarter, senior captain Corey Gwin scored off a sophomore Steve Alther pass to put the Seahawks on the board.

Once Decatur netted its first goal, Lathroum said the Seahawks got into a groove and relaxed a little bit.

“I knew they could score,” he said.

“I was never worried because I knew [the goals] would come.”

Gwin provided the home team with its second goal with 8:40 remaining in the half.

A minute later, senior Jake Lathroum found senior captain Matt LeCompte open in front of the goal and buried his shot.

Seniors Jackson Mumford and RJ Hayman logged one goal apiece before halftime.

LeCompte boosted Decatur’s advantage to six goals five minutes into the third quarter. He gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead with 4:38 left in the quarter. Alther and senior Evan Heim scored one goal each in the final minutes of the third quarter.

Gwin and LeCompte finished the game with three goals and an assist apiece. Junior Trey Wells chipped in See SEAHAWKS Page 47

SD girls’ tennis tops SH and Wi-Hi

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ tennis teams earned victories over the Snow Hill Eagles and Wi-Hi Indians this week.

On Monday, Decatur took a trip down the road to face Snow Hill. The Lady Seahawks came home with a win in all seven matches.

Jamie Greenwood Senior Delaney Iacona (8-1), junior Katie Withers (8-0), senior Mallory Rolleston (8-0) and freshman Leila Mirza (8-0) topped their first through fourth singles opponents. Snow Hill forfeited the fifth singles match to senior Calais Rodriguez.

Senior Victoria Williams and sophomore Mallory Vara outscored their first Steve Berquist doubles opponents 8-2.

The Eagles forfeited the second doubles match to senior Brittany Wan-

gel and freshman Jessie Lupiwok.

Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood thought the Seahawks played “OK.” “Lack of practices has been our downfall this year,” he said.

Decatur has not been able to get much practice time in this season because of bad weather or playing matches.

“We haven’t had a lot of practice.

It’s hard to work on things when you don’t have practice,” Greenwood said.

The Decatur boys’ team lost its fourth match this season by a score of 4-3.

“We didn’t play well at all,” Decatur Coach Steve Berquist said after Monday’s competition. “We were missing [junior] Christian Beres (sick) and everyone played up a spot … We’re being competitive, we’re just not pulling it out at the end.”

Deep Patel, a junior, edged out his fifth singles opponent 8-6.

Juniors Reed Watson and Jake Blosveren defeated their first doubles competition 8-5.

Snow Hill forfeited the second doubles match to freshman Frankie Nanna and junior Jose Roberts.

The boys played much better on Tuesday against Wi-Hi, winning 5-2.

“Everything seemed to come together for the guys,” Berquist said.

“We had nice weather, it was a home match and we matched up well with Wi-Hi. This was our best match by far.”

Logan Romberger pulled out an 84 victory at first singles. Beres and Patel edged out their third and fifth singles players 8-6.

Watson and Blosveren logged an 86 victory at first doubles. Roberts and Nanna won 8-4 at second doubles.

“It seemed like we had more confidence and it showed in our performance,” Berquist said.

Iacona, Withers, Rolleston, Rodriguez and Mirza won their first through fifth singles matches, 8-2, 84, 8-3, 8-1 and 8-1, respectively.

Junior Mattie Friedman and first doubles partners, Wangel, tallied an 8-0 shutout. Wi-Hi forfeited the second double competition to Lupiwok and Vara.

“I thought we played OK,” Greenwood said. “We played down to their level a little bit. Since we haven’t been able to practice we tried to talk through everything.”

Decatur will play Wi-Hi again on Monday, at 4 p.m in Salisbury.

“We were aggressive [and] we used our size and speed,” Coach Lathroum said. “We knew we had to win ground balls and we did. Everybody contributed. It was a good team win.”

Decatur will host the Wi-Hi Indians today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. The Seahawks will go head-to-head on their home field with Worcester Prep at 5:30 p.m. on Monday.

Prep tennis squads earn victories Worcester’s boys’ and girls’ teams record 7-0 wins over Decatur, Salisbury School

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 24, 2015) The Worcester Prep tennis teams picked up wins over the Stephen Decatur Seahawks and Salisbury School Dragons over the past week.

Last Friday, the Lady Mallards hosted the Seahawks.

Worcester earned victories in all seven matches.

Seniors Tatjana Cyndee Hudson Kondraschow and Mattie Maull shut out their first and second singles opponents 8-0. Juniors Isabel Carulli and Sarah Koon topped their third and fourth singles competition, 8-2 and 8-5, respectively. Freshman Anchita Batra took her fifth singles match 8-3.

Sophomores Eva Parks and Stormy McGuiness were vicTerry Underkoffler torious 8-1 at first doubles. Worcester’s second doubles team of Jordie Loomis, a senior, and sophomore Lauren Meoli won their first varsity match, 8-1.

“The girls buckled down and played well after nearly everyone lost

their first game,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said. “Sarah again was behind one game until she broke through at 4-5 to go up 6-5, and then on to win 8-5…the girls are hitting strongest going into an intense period of the season.”

Worcester’s boys’ team won 7-0 on Decatur’s courts last Friday.

Seniors Quinn Lukas and Kyle Chandler outscored their first and second singles opponents, 8-1 and 80, respectively. Junior Alex Choy and sophomore Zach Wilson shut out their third and fourth singles competition 8-0.

“I thought that Quinn, Kyle and Alex Choy had a dominating service game that punctuated their performance by setting up points early in the play,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “I was very happy with Zach Wilson’s service game and how he mixed in drop shots with his strong forehand.”

Decatur forfeited the fifth singles match to sophomore Nik Moondra.

Junior Charlie Pritchard and freshman Brenner Maull took their first doubles match 8-5.

“The No. 1 doubles team … continued their strong approach in their match,” Underkoffler said. “They communicate very well within a rally and mixed their returns with lobs, drops and good angles.”

Sophomore Adam Pizza and junior Bennett Truitt scored an 8-5 victory at second doubles. “[They] had the tightest battle, outlasting their opponents with Ben-

nett ending the match with two consecutive service aces,” Underkoffler said.

On Monday, Worcester traveled to Salisbury to play the Dragons. Both Mallard teams came home with 7-0 wins.

Kondraschow (8-3), Maull (8-2), senior Fiona Reid (8-1) and juniors Erika Smith (8-0) and Hannah Arrington (8-0) topped their first through fifth singles opponents.

Parks and McGuiness won 8-2 at first doubles. Senior Michelle Curtis and Loomis were successful 8-0 at second doubles.

“The girls played well. Many got to play for the first time at either singles or doubles,” Hudson said. “They stepped up for match play.”

Lukas, senior Erik Zorn and Chandler topped their first through third singles competition 8-0, 8-2 and 8-2, respectively.

“Singles players Quinn, Erik and Kyle started fast and stayed on top of the match from the beginning,” Underkoffler said.

Salisbury forfeited fourth and fifth singles matches to Alex Choy and Wilson.

The first doubles team of senior Chris Choy and Moondra “played very steady in their match,” Underkoffler said. Choy and Moondra won 8-1, while Maull and Pritchard outscored their second doubles opponents 8-0.

The next tennis match is today, Friday, against the Gunston Day Herons at 4 p.m. in Centreville.

Worcester Prep and Decatur lax teams to battle Continued from Page 44 Freshman Sophie Bandorick earned her first varsity start in goal for Worcester. She stopped 11 Sabres’ shots. “[Bandorick] was really stepping up her game at practice, so we wanted to give her the opportunity to show that on the field,” said Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker.

The Mallards were lucky to come away with the win after their less than stellar performance.

“We didn’t really play well. We turned the ball over an unfathomable amount of times,” Brennan said. “We made horrible passing decisions, me included. It just wasn’t our day.”

“I think we were just playing really sloppy pretty much the entire game. It was really frustrating because I felt like we were doing well for a few games in a row, transitioning the ball and protecting it and [Friday] we were throwing it into double teams, running into double teams, dropping passes … I feel like once one person starts dropping the ball it really trickles down the whole entire team,” Flounlacker said. “They have so much talent and so much heart and they hustle so hard to everything so it’s unfortunate when we make silly mistakes because they’re beating themselves.”

cate meighan inside going out nother week down. Am I the only one that feels completely overwhelmed at just about this same time every year?

If you have kids then they are no doubt totally ruling your schedule with field trips, proms, graduation (be it kindergarten or college), dance recitals, sports banquets– are you feeling me? I thought so.

But ya’ know what? We just have to get through these next few weeks together and then we can start enjoying those long, lazy beach days again.

One of the best things about living in a resort town is the entertainment, right? I mean, one of the things that Ocean City collectively is best known for is its ability to throw a great bash and as businesses start to reopen their doors, it’s really almost hard to decide what to do already–and it’s only late April!

Last Wednesday, Fish Tales on 22 Street, bayside, officially rang in the beginning of a new season with an opening party that was pretty packed. The locals seemed really happy to be back at one of their favorite haunts, as both drinks and good conversation seemed to be easily flowing at the outdoor bar.

Fish Tales is now open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a. m. with happy hour running from 3-6 p.m. You’ll also want to check out the Bloody Mary Bar each Sunday from 11 a. m. to 3 p.m. Fish Tales already has a pretty full schedule of events for the summer season, beginning with Bikes To The Beach which runs from April 30 – May 3.

The annual Taste of Finer Things also took place last Wednesday night at Harrison’s Harbor Watch near the inlet in downtown Ocean City, with all proceeds going to help build Coastal Hospice’s new facility in Berlin. The event featured food from 17 local restaurants, with guests able to sample fare from places such as Touch of Italy, Sunset Grille and Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill. The Ocean City inlet at sunset was the perfect backdrop and Lauren Glick and Mike Armstrong were also on hand to provide entertainment on this special evening devoted to a great cause.

More than 500 species of wildfowl will be represented, from interpretive to decorative lifesize pieces, with 1,500 carvings on display during the 45th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street this weekend.

Carvers from U.S. and around world to showcase work

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Thousands of carvers, collectors and curious visitors will arrive in Ocean City this weekend for the 45th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival hosted by Salisbury University.

More than 500 species of wildfowl will be represented, from interpretive pieces to decorative life-size species, with 1,500 carvings on display at the convention center on 40th Street.

“It’s an international event with the best carvers from all over the world,” said Lora Bottinelli, executive director of the Ward Museum. “It’s a lot of fun.

When you add in all the events, it’s easy for people to get up close to the action.”

Anywhere from 800 to 1,000 carvers from the United States, Canada, Japan, England, Barbados and around the world will compete for ribbons, cash prizes, trophies and rings during this year’s competition, Bottinelli said.

“It is the highest level of achievement and a unique art experience,” she said.

“Every year, the bar is raised and people are blown away with what they see.”

Artists of all levels, from youth to world champions, will compete for a share of nearly $60,000 in prize money with 200 cash prizes distributed throughout the event.

Functioning decoys, antiques 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.

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

The Kid’s Corner will offer activities such as soap carving, painting miniature decoys, carving feathers with tools and lessons from a world champion carver.

Each year, the youth division participates in silhouette carving and 200 children in carving groups were tasked with the red-headed woodpecker.

“Carving groups from all over including Maryland and California helped

all those birds come to Ocean City,” Bottinelli said.

The 200 red-headed woodpeckers will be on display this weekend and children can get started on carving next year’s silhouette, the laughing gull, at the Kids Corner.

“Hopefully, next year we will have 200 laughing gulls to display,” she added.

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 the Bayfront Ballroom of the convention center. Registration is free and there will be a cash bar.

Pieces include framed painting prints, autographed books and sketches, historical artifacts, antiques, See WORLD’S Page 50

Continued from Page 49 ready been a year since Berlin was named “America’s Coolest Small Town”? I think part of the reason that Berlin has really earned that distinction is because of how it truly caters to everyone.

Since this is the kind of town that seems to look for reasons to celebrate, I kind of figured that it would go all out for the first anniversary street party last Saturday, and of course, I was absolutely right. Main Street was alive with food, games, a parade and even a magic show.

The Kelly Bell Band even performed, and as usual, local business was booming. Perhaps one of the coolest things about Berlin is the way events like this one make it easier for the small businesses on Main Street to thrive.

“It’s a great way to meet artists and buy a nice piece,” she added.

In addition to seeing works of art from the best wildfowl artists in the world, there will be educational classes and seminars going on all weekend including topics on interpretive art, a sunset boat trip and carving on Delmarva as an African-American, among a halfdozen more.

A paint party featuring the salty coast will take place on Sunday from 122 p.m. for $40 inside Dockside Hall, which overlooks the water.

On Sunday, demonstrations with trained falcons, owls and raptures will take place off the deck of the convention center over the water.

The Ward World Championship attracts between 5,000 and 8,000 people each year, Bottinelli said.

“For anyone who adores nature, enjoys birds and has an appreciation for fine art, the World Championship is the place to be to experience the best wildfowl art the world has to offer,” she added. “We are really excited it’s going on during [Ocean City Spring] Restaurant Week and think it will be awesome

for cross circulation.”

She said the event honors the Ward brother’s legacy, who were Eastern Shore decorative and decoy bird carving masters.

Admission to the World Championship costs $10 for a multi-day pass or $8 for seniors and students. Children under 12 get in free with an adult.

Visit the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival today, Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street.

for the Cure. The inlet parking lot was a sea of pink as supporters gathered Sunday morning in the hopes of raising $285,000 this year to support the foundation. It was a great day for family and friend’s to get some exercise for a great cause.

This year’s event featured a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile family walk and even a cancer survivor’s parade.

Since its inaugural race here in 2012, Ocean City has raised more than $1 million to go toward breast cancer research and awareness.

The best part is that a lot of that money stays right here in this state and is dispensed between various programs.

On Sunday evening, BJ’s on the Water hosted its annual Relay For Life cancer benefit. The popular 75th Street restaurant was already packed with supporters shortly after the event began. Many in attendance were there to honor the memory of Donna Clarke, who was killed in a car accident last November. Clarke, along with her husband, Marty, was often seen at local events that raise money for cancer awareness.

On this particular afternoon, Marty, along with the couple’s two daughters, Meaghan Russo and Lindsay Abruzzo, were on hand to raffle off a pink Electra Bike that had belonged to Donna. While the loss of her is still clearly felt amongst Donna’s family and friends, this event was intended to be positive and the mood was great.

Teenage Rust and the Fabulous Rustettes provided the entertainment and the proceeds from the food and drink specials went to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Like I said earlier, there are so many things happening in Ocean City right now that it’s a bit tricky to keep track of it all, so I’m going to try and help you all out, right here and now.

Here are a bunch of things that are either coming up or simply worth a visit.

Seacrets Rock Bar is now open for the season at 49th Street and the bay with daily liquor specials, as well as a great craft beer selection at “The New Old Main Bar.” Lunch specials for $5.99 are offered and happy hour is 4-7 p.m. daily.

Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street and the bay has also just opened its popular doors for a 22nd season. The restaurant’s spring hours are in full effect which means it is open Thursday’s from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. and then Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Happy hour runs from 3-6 p.m. with a Brunch and Bloody Mary Bar on Sunday’s from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

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.

He decided to enter the contest after hearing people say the restaurant’s concoction could win.

“Hopefully we can pick up a category, but were definitely going to try for spiciest,” he said.

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, Wicomico and Sussex County, Del. pursuing a career in broadcasting, Norwood said.

Also, 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.

Annual Boardwalkin’ for Pets to benefit humane society

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) The Ocean City Boardwalk will be filled with dogs and their owners, Saturday, April 25, 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 16th annual event.

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

“It’s a great community event for kids, families and the large population of people in Worcester County and the surrounding areas who have rescued animals,” said Heather Bahrami, chair of the Boardwalkin’ committee.

Participants can begin walking with their four-legged friends anytime after 9 a.m. Walkers can choose between the full 5-mile Boardwalk route from the inlet to 27th Street and back, take the 2.5-mile trip to 12th Street and back or decide on a different course, she said.

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

Refreshments will be provided by Harrison’s Harbor Watch at the inlet

and Layton’s on 16th Street.

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

Cats will not be left out. 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 gift baskets containing gift certificates to restaurants, a two-night stay at the Hilton and dog items from Greene Turtle, Bahrami said.

Walkers who raised $25 will receive a dog walk bandana. A T-shirt is the prize for a $50 donation and a dog walk lunch tote is given to participants who collected $100. Money and pledge See DOG Page 56

Last year, $25,000 was raised for the shelter with about 120 walkers and their dogs. A couple of activities were also going on in Ocean City during last year’s events, which effected the turnout, 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 Tuesday morning, $12,540 had been raised so far.

“There is a need in the area and we found 240 different families for animals last year,” Bahrami said.

This is the first time registration was online and 535 people have said they are coming on Facebook. “If we get half, it’s amazing,” she added.

Attendees can adopt a shelter dog for the event and must make arrangements in advance by calling the shelter at 410-213-0146.

“It continues to grow and we try to make it bigger and better each year,” Bahrami said. “It’s a fun time and I am looking forward to it.”

South Moon Under on 81st Street and Malibu’s Surf Shop on Eighth Street and the Boardwalk will be do-

nating a percentage of their sales on Saturday to the humane society.

The weekend-long event kicks off on Friday, April 24, at Adolfo’s on the Ocean at 13th Street and the Boardwalk from 5-9 p.m. with a spaghetti and meatball dinner including 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.org/boardwalkin-for-pets.

Adolfo’s will donate a percentage from each ticket purchased to the Worcester County Humane Society, and there will be a silent auction to support the shelter as well.

On Sunday, April 26, Coastal Kayak in Fenwick Island, Del. will host “Paddle with Your Pooch” for the second year from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Paddlers are provided with a kayak and life jacket for their donation and all proceeds go to the humane society. Having a dog is not required to participate and everyone is welcome.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Cheesy grits soufflé simple recipe to make

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 24, 2015) The morning mist is the keeper of the past, the droplets of dew whisper a tale that seeps beneath the roots of time.

Magnificent trees bear witness to the glistening leaves of chance. The winding road of truth takes many turns, it is up to the individual to choose the path of future flavorings.

My trusty pen is a steadfast reminder that stories linger and do not diminish with the season of progression. Generations come and go as family is put to the test of significance. Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains are proud and privy to a time when simplicity buttered our daily bread.

Grandma Sheler, my great-grandmother, is at peace in the shadows of ancestry. Stanardsville, Va. is the place of remembrance and start of my southern heritage. Nestled near the majestic Shenandoah National Park, her modest little home exemplified southern tradition with unequivocal charm.

The kitchen is the center of being for which all things grow. The stove

kindles the soul and is the heart of new beginnings. The ambiance of southern hospitality is unconditional and never questioned. Cooking is a consuming passion that reflects the celebration of a particular moment.

Grandma Sheler loved her grits; simplicity with no frills was her style.

Salt, butter and milk were the trinity of requirement. Southern food is full of unexpected surprises and the tiniest detail leaves the most indelible memory.

Fried grits are mouth-watering and an innovative addition to one’s menu. Prepare the grits according to directions on the package. Pour warm grits into a shallow dish to a depth of ½ inch. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Prepare dredge station by placing 1 cup of flour on a plate. Crack an egg, beat well with 1 teaspoon cold water and place in a small bowl. The third component of the dredging station should consist of 2 cups plain panko bread crumbs on another plate.

Remove grits from refrigerator, drain any excess water and cut into sections as desired. Dip each section, one at a time into flour, egg wash and panko.

Heat a large skillet over mediumhigh heat with ½ inch depth of canola oil. Place coated sections into

heated oil; be careful not to crowd the pan. Cook until both sides are golden brown and place on cooling rack.

Serve warm with warmed maple syrup. Crispy grits with a creamy texture is an innovative twist to a southern classic.

But if one is hosting a more formal occasion, consider cheesy grit soufflés. Parmigiano-Reggiano is the king of cheese and adds sophistication to the dish. The light, airy texture makes a perfect accompaniment to any menu. The piece de resistance is cheesy grits soufflé is easy to make and does not require much preparation. I use to work at The Inn of Little Washington and the following instructions are based on Patrick O’Connell’s recipe for Little Yellow Grits Soufflé.

Cheesy Grits Soufflé For the Molds 8 two-ounce timbale molds or miniature muffin tins 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal 1. Heavily grease the inside of the timbale molds or miniature muffin tins with softened butter and sprinkle with yellow cornmeal.

Soufflés 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 shallots, minced 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 cup milk 1/3 cup yellow grits 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

pinch of grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon Herbs de Province 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup heavy cream 3 egg whites 1. In a 1-quart sauce pan, sauté garlic and shallots in canola oil over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. You may have to add a little extra canola oil to prevent burning. Strain garlic and shallots through a sieve to remove oil. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In the same pan over medium-high heat, scald the milk. Slowly whisk in the grits. When the grits begin to thicken, stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, garlic and shallots. Season with salt, black pepper, nutmeg and Herbs de Province.

3. Allow the mixture to cool, then stir in the egg yolk and heavy cream.

4. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form.

5. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the egg whites into the grits mixture.

6. Fill each timbale mold or muffin tins to the top with the batter.

7. Place the molds on a baking sheet and cook on the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. The cooking time for the muffin tins will be less.

8. Remove the soufflés from the oven and allow to cool for a minute or two. Run a sharp paring knife round the edge of each soufflé and unmold.

Serve immediately.

Sweet Adelines International hosts singing competition

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Sweet Adelines International will be hosting its Region 19 Women’s Barbershop Singing competition this weekend with 20 chorus groups and 25 quartets battling for the chance to advance to the international competition in Las Vegas.

“It’s an opportunity to listen to some really good music, have a great night out and women get the opportunity to see if they would like to join us,” said Brenda Cunningham, marketing coordinator for Sweet Adeline’s International.

The activities kick off in the new performing arts center on 40th Street at 5 p.m. today, Friday, for the quartet’s competition lasting until about 10 p.m. The winners will qualify for the international competition in Las Vegas, which will take place in October.

The chorus contest starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday and lasts until about

5:30 p.m. The winners receive a chance to compete in the international competition in Las Vegas in 2016.

Approximately 30 regional winners advance to the international competition each year, Cunningham said.

A show of champions will take place on Saturday from 8-10:30 p.m. where all winning teams have the opportunity to perform and winners from last year’s competition will be back to put on a show for the audience.

“It’s an opportunity for small and mid-size groups to show off their performance and singing skills,” Cunningham said.

GQ (Girls Quartet) comprised of Towson University alumni and winners at last year’s competition will be back this year with a performance on Saturday night, Cunningham said.

In addition, several awards will be given out at the show including best See DELMARVA Page 60

WWII REVISITED

Mussolini and Hitler died 70 yrs. ago this week

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (April 24, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, saw the passing of the leaders of Fascism and Nazism.

Since he became the youngest prime minister in Italian History, in October 1922, until he was relieved of this position by King Victor Emanuel III in July of 1943, Benito Mussolini was an important player in world affairs.

Following his dismissal, he was taken into custody, until he was rescued in a daring German operation led by SS Captain Otto Skorzeny. At that point, Italy was beaten so badly that it could no longer continue the war and Mussolini knew it.

He himself was a beaten man and wanted only to retire. However, the German Führer, who had orchestrated his rescue, would have none of it. So, Mussolini was established as Il Duce of Italy, once again – but only of the part of Italy occupied, controlled and protected by the German Wehrmacht. More so than any of the Axis leaders, the Italian Duce was, now, the German Führer’s puppet, with the Germans supplying all of the financing for the new Italian gov-

Dictators Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.

ernment offices.

The next day, Bologna, which was about 150 miles from Salò, was captured by the Allies. The Italian Duce was advised to flee to Spain where he could expect protection from the Spanish Caudillo, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, but he refused to leave his homeland.

The Archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Alfredo Schuster, hosted a meeting between Il Duce and the partisans, on April 25. Mussolini rejected the partisans’ demand of unconditional surrender. Privately, he told the cardinal, “I have no illusions.”

When informed that the surrender of the Wehrmacht in Italy was imminent, Mussolini responded, “They [the Germans] have always treated us like slaves and now they betray us!” On April 26, he headed north, joining a German anti-aircraft unit commanded by Lt. Fallmeyer, which was headed for Tyrol in Austria. By now, Il Duce knew that the Communists had ordered his execution.

At 7 a.m. the next day, the Partisan 52nd Garibaldi Brigade, commanded by Count Pierluigi Bellini delle Stelle, blocked the anti-aircraft unit’s passage. In the closing days of a war, which everyone knew was soon to end, no one wanted to fight and die. Therefore, the Partisans agreed to allow the Germans to pass – but not the Italians. The Germans attempted to hide Mussolini in the back of the truck. It didn’t work.

Walter Audisio, aka Col. Valerio, arrived from the Communist party on Saturday, April 28, 1945, and burst into the farmhouse where Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were being held.

He told them he had come to rescue them. They hurriedly got into the waiting car and were driven about a See DEATHS Page 62

Continued from Page 58 novice quartet, most improved quartet and chorus, first place small chorus, mid-size and overall.

A new open division will give two chorus teams including Delmarva Chorus of Berlin the chance to perform and sing creatively, Cunningham said.

“They can include skits and comedy which gives teams a chance to show off other skills and the audience votes on their favorite,” she added.

Delmarva Chorus will be doing a spoof on “Maxine,” one of Hallmark’s popular characters with an attitude.

All members will be decked out in grey wigs with some type of Maxine outfit.

“We will have two emcees and had to clean up our jokes a little bit, but it’s still going to be funny,” said Delmarva Chorus Director, Carol Ludwig. “We will be singing ‘Heart & Soul’ and ‘Ring Out the Bells in Dixieland,’ which is a typical barbershop chorus song while dressed as Maxine.”

The local group has performed in Sweet Adelines International for the past 11 years. It is a community group who volunteers and sings at local events including the Veterans Memorial in Ocean Pines, Ludwig said.

“I think the event is very good and educational,” Ludwig said. “Competing keeps us in the loop of the Barbershop art form.”

Groups from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey will all be represented by about 1,000 singers on quartet and chorus teams this weekend.

“Competing in regional competitions are an every year requirement for the international level and are primarily an educational program that shows us how we are doing,” Cunningham said.

Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide non-profit organization of about 23,000 women singers from countries such as Australia, Japan, Sweden, England and the United States. The organization is always looking for new members to join, and most recently, Germany has been interested in putting a group of singers together.

“We work really hard and were darn good,” Cunningham said.

The competitions will take place on Friday and Saturday at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street. Admission cost is $25 for spectators.

Continued from Page 60 mile. The car stopped. The two were ordered out of the car and to stand next to the stone wall beside the road. Mussolini, knowing the score, faced his executioner squarely and held back the lapels of his uniform and asked to be shot in the chest, as Clara vainly, begged for their lives.

Early the next morning the bodies were brought to the Piazzale Loreto in Milan. There their bodies were hung by their feet from a girder of an Esso gas station. They were joined by fellow Fascists Nicola Bombacci, Alessandro Pavolini and Achille Starace. The crowd vented its anger by beating the corpses.

Upon learning of Il Duce’s undignified demise, der Führer began making plans for his exit, to avoid such a public humiliation. On the day that Il Duce was attempting his escape from Italy, der Führer’s “1000 Year Reich” had gotten much smaller, as the Red Army isolated Berlin from the outside world.

The next day, he learned that the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was attempting to cut a deal with the Allies. Less than a week earlier, the Deputy Führer, Reichsmarshal and Luftwaffe chief Hermann Göring had done the same thing.

Enraged, Adolf Hitler ordered both arrested. But now, as the rats left the sinking ship and his most loyal henchmen had deserted him, he could see that the end was near.

Shortly after midnight, on April 29, Hitler married his longtime girlfriend, Eva Braun, in a small ceremony in the Führerbunker. At 4 a.m., he executed his will, which named Grand Admiral Karl Dönetz as his successor.

Doubting the effectiveness of the cyanide the SS provided him, he had

it tested on his dog, Blondi. His doubts proved baseless.

At 1 a.m., on April 30, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel informed der Führer that no relief could be expected. Later that morning, General Helmuth Weidling, commander Berlin Defense Area, told him that the troops could not hold for more than 24 hours and that the Soviets were a mere 1,600 feet from the Führerbunker.

After saying their goodbyes to the other occupants of the Führerbunker, der Führer and his new bride, retired to his personal quarters at 2:30 p.m. An hour later, a gunshot was heard from the room.

Hitler’s valet, Heinze Linge, and his personal secretary, Martin Bormann, entered the room and found the Hitlers dead – she from cyanide and he from a gunshot to the head. Per der Führer’s instructions, their bodies were taken to the garden outside of the Reich Chancellery and burned.

On May 1, Grand Admiral Dönetz announced in a radio broadcast that Hitler had died a hero, defending the German capital, and named him – Dönetz – as his successor. The next day, the Hitlers’ remains were discovered by the Red Army. However, the Soviets refused to confirm the discovery until decades later.

She is one of three Blue Angel pilots who fly the C-130 Hercules, known as “Fat Albert,” and Higgins will be taking the controls during the Ocean City show. The cargo plane carries all the necessary personnel and supplies for the Blue Angels performance and performs a demonstration for the crowd on Saturday and Sunday during the air show as well.

Higgins has flown almost 400 combat hours in support of numerous operations and exercises in Afghanistan, Djibouti, France, Greece, South Sudan, Spain and Uganda.

Arbor Day celebration planned for April 24 Ocean City Elementary School students to perform skits, poems and songs (April 24, 2015) The Town of Ocean City will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 24 at Northside Park on 125th Street where second grade classes from Ocean City Elementary School will present skits, poems, songs and artwork to show the importance of trees in the environment.

For more than 25 years, the Ocean City Beautification Committee has

partnered with the students to bring this program to the community.

Also during the celebration, the mayor and City Council will be presented with two prestigious awards.

The first is the National Arbor Day Foundation’s “Tree City USA” award, which the town has received for the past 25 years. Ocean City was the first barrier island in the country to receive this award. The second is the Maryland Community Forest and the Department of Natural Resources, Forest Service’s Maryland P.L.A.N.T. (People Loving and Nur-

turing Trees) Community Award, which Ocean City has received since the program’s inception 23 years ago.

The highlight of the event is when students assist the mayor and Council in planting a tree at Northside Park as part of the Beautification Committee’s TreeMendous Program.

The celebration begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Northside Park community room with light refreshments.

The festivities then move outdoors where the ceremony takes place weather permitting. The celebration

kicks off with the presentation of the flags by the American Legion Color Guard.

Following the tree planting, the students will enjoy demonstrations by the Ocean City Police Department’s mounted police and K-9 units.

All citizens and visitors are invited to join the mayor and Council along with the Beautification Committee for this long-standing tradition.

Brown Box Theatre Project to present ‘Boxer Shorts’ (April 24, 2015) Brown Box Theatre Project, presenters of the annual free Shakespeare at the Beach tour, returns to Ocean City with its spring production, “Boxer Shorts,” this May. “Boxer Shorts” is an evening of enchanting and interrogative short plays that explore the space between sleeping and waking, thinking and knowing, living and dying. This production will be featured in a four-show run at Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, beginning on Saturday, May 9.

“Boxer Shorts,” the second production in Brown Box’s fifth season, will showcase esteemed works by Samuel Beckett, Tennessee Williams, Harold Pinter and Diana Raznovich.

“Boxer Shorts” will include: •”Play” by Samuel Beckett–An absurdly thrilling exposé of three adulterous lovers by the legendary Irish playwright.

•“Talk to Me Like the Rain” and “Let Me Listen” by Tennessee Williams–A poetic exploration of the reality of desperation, fantasy and delusion between two isolated lovers by one of America’s most beloved playwrights.

• “The New World Order” by Harold Pinter–An examination of the practice and implications of torture in a gripping dark comedy by the influential English playwright.

• “Personal Belongings” by Diana Raznovich–This comedic one-woman show by revolutionary Argentinian playwright is a searing portrait of a self-proclaimed diva rummaging through a sea of unclaimed baggage.

Brown Box has assembled a team of talented collaborators to develop the world of this unique evening, led by a group of accomplished directors.

Kyler Taustin, artistic director of Brown Box, will direct “Play” and “Talk to Me…,” while Brown Box Associate Producer, Anna Trachtman will helm “Personal Belongings.” Darren Evans, artistic director of Boston’s Theatre on Fire, will complete the team and make his Brown Box directing debut with “The New World Order.”

In celebration of its fifth season of bringing the performing arts to communities and audiences that usually lack access to live theatre, Brown Box is embracing “Boxer Shorts” as an opportunity to offer audiences a wide range of rarely produced work from diverse playwrights in an engaging evening of bold theatre.

“Our company offers something

different to Delmarva’s cultural community, and this production is sure to be a unique and enriching theatrical experience,” Taustin said. “We are very excited to present these diverse voices and engage in a meaningful dialogue with our audience.”

To complete the collective world of this production, Brown Box has assembled a vibrant team of talent. The cast will include Brown Box veterans David Berger-Jones (“The New World Order”), Cameron Gosselin (“Play,” “The New World Order”) and Johnny Quinones (“Talk to Me…,” “The New World Order”), along with newcomers Elizabeth Milanovich (“Play,” “Talk to Me…”), Janelle Mills (“Personal Belongings”), and Meredith Stypinski (“Play”).

The design team will feature Mac Young (scenic), Ian King (lighting), Amanda Ostrow (costumes) and Thomas Blanford (sound). The Production Stage Manager is Erica Paige Brown.

“Boxer Shorts” will appear in Ocean City from Saturday, May 9 through Monday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m. with an additional matinee performance on Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. at Ocean City Center for the Arts, 502 94th Street, Ocean City. Tickets cost $25.

Brown Box Theatre Project is able to present Delmarva communities with affordable theatre thanks to the support of the Ocean City Art League and the Maryland State Arts Council.

Observe spring migration during Birding Weekend

(April 24, 2015) The 20th annual Delmarva Birding Weekend is underway and runs through Sunday. The weekend observes the spring migration of warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors, and the birds that reside on the peninsula year-round.

Combining boat trips, paddling treks and expeditions by foot, the weekend takes place in the undeveloped lands and waters that feed into the Chesapeake and Delaware bays and the Atlantic coastal bays.

The Delmarva Peninsula is one of the country’s premier birding areas, thanks to an extensive variety of habitat protected by its coastal parks, refuges and wildlife management areas.

On tours led by expert guides, birders will observe hundreds of species on the region’s barrier islands, in tidal salt marshes, cypress swamps, upland fields and forested lands. “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 Jim Rapp, weekend organizer and guide.

“During the weekend, our guests will hike on private farmland and woodland that is normally off-limits to birders and our waterborne trips go where the birds are. In late April, we will see wa-

terfowl that winter here just before they migrate north, and early arriving warblers and shorebirds that have just flown in from the Caribbean and South America.

“You can start your morning with prothonotary warblers and barred owls in the bald cypress swamp, spend your afternoon with common loons and piping plovers along our coastal shores, and end your day with clapper rails and chuck-will’s-widows by the twilight marsh. None of our trips is physically taxing, but this is a rare opportunity to tally 100 species in a day in places that are normally inaccessible to birders.”

Participating birders will be helping birds by promoting birding and habitat conservation. Birders, both novice and experienced, can make an important statement about the economic value of birds and their habitats through the money they spend in local hotels, restaurants, and shops, Rapp said.

Organizers also encouraged birders to remind local businesses that they are here to enjoy Delmarva’s natural areas and the birds that inhabit them.

Registration information, field trip descriptions and resources for Delmarva birding are available at www.DelmarvaBirding.org. For information, call 410632-3110 or 800-852-0335 or email tourism@co.worcester.md.us.

Rackliffe House docent training conducted May 7

(April 24, 2015) Rackliffe House, a beautifully restored 1740s merchantplanter’s Georgian home overlooking Assateague Island and Sinepuxent Bay outside of Berlin, is recruiting volunteers to serve as docents.

Docent training will be conducted at Rackliffe House on Thursday, May 7, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The training session will help docents interpret life on the 18th-century coastal plantation through artifacts on display in the kitchen, spinning room and children’s room in the main house as well as in the original milk house. Docents will also be trained to interpret the exhibition, “Native Americans: First Contact on Lower Delmarva,” on loan from Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture.

Docents have created a variety of interpretive activities for children for use inside the house as well as outdoor 18thcentury games. The games are scheduled for the second Saturday of each month only.

Docents open Rackliffe House for tours every Tuesday and Thursday from

Order flowering perennials, heirloom tomatoes, herbs (April 24, 2015) For the 16th year, Assateague Coastal Trust will offer a selection of native flowering perennials, heirloom tomatoes, herbs and local crafts at its annual festival.

This year, the event will again take place next to ACT’s office, steps from the corner of Old Ocean City Boulevard and North Main Street in Berlin on Saturday, May 9, the day before Mother’s Day. The festival, which also features nature-inspired crafts, runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

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

Advance order forms are available at www.actforbays.org or by calling 410629-1538. Orders may be placed di-

rectly through the website.

All plants are chosen because of their drought resistance and 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 four years ago they have grown in popularity. Heirlooms typically produce more flavorful tomatoes than hybrids.

Have questions about garden? Master Gardeners will be on hand to help solve garden problems.

To place plant sale pre-order or for more information about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, visit www.actforbays.org or call 410-6291538.

BJ’s on the Water in Ocean City hosts successful event

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 23, 2015) Last Sunday’s Relay for Life benefit at BJ’s on the Water in Ocean City raised thousands of dollars for cancer research, but the event also included a series of powerful moments that, more than give faces to a movement, served as a rallying call to anyone who ever watched

as a loved one’s life was threatened by cancer.

The event also doubled as a CD release party for Teenage Rust, the ’60sstyled garage group that includes BJ’s owners Billy and Maddy Carder as members, the former being a twotime cancer survivor.

Many attend BJ’s fundraiser to honor late Donna Clarke Continued from Page 73 bums went to Relay for Life, but that was just the beginning.

Maddy took to the microphone just after 6 p.m. to announce the raffle drawing of a pink Electra cruiser bicycle that Ocean Pines resident Marty Clarke gave to his wife, Donna, herself a cancer survivor prior to her death in a car accident last November.

“On Nov. 6 we lost a dear friend, mother, grandmother, wife to most of us in this room,” Maddy said. “When she passed, Marty immediately came up to me and said, ‘I’ve got something of Donna’s I want to donate to your Relay For Life benefit.”

Maddy said the Clarkes “have always been a part of our team” during their annual campaign leading up to the Relay For Life of North Worcester County event held at Frontier Town.

“We sold 100 $20 tickets,” Maddy said. “Boom, Donna, $2,000 more dollars to Relay because of you.”

Jeremy Markel, a manager at BJ’s, won the drawing.

The night included several other raffle awards tied to Relay For Life, capped by a $10,000 50/50 prize won

by Quiet Storm owner Bill Dreibelbis.

Markel, meanwhile, said he planned to give the bicycle to his girlfriend.

“I’m going to make sure that she

properly takes care of it and gives it the respect it’s due for the situation,” he said. “I met [Donna Clarke] not too long ago, right before the accident. It’s definitely moving.

“What’s so great about this town is everybody comes together and helps out,” Markel said. “I’ve never been in a place before that’s like that. It makes everybody feel special. I’m definitely honored.”

Fittingly last year, on Jan. 3, the town honored the Carders with the Hal Glick Award, presented each year to area residents known for their charitable efforts.

It was in 2000 that Billy was first diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Twelve years later, doctors told him he had lymphoma of the central nervous system.

“He started losing his vision in May of 2012,” Maddy said. “I’ll never forget it. He said, ‘Have you ever had floaters in your eyes?’ I said, ‘Yeah, but they’re here and gone in a second.’

He said, ‘I can’t seem to get rid of them.’

“He went to several doctors down here and they kept telling him it was just a virus in his eye,” Maddy continued. “They kept treating it and his vision kept getting worse and worse.”

Billy ended up at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins in Balti-

more, where he had two eye operations and a biopsy that led to the second cancer diagnosis.

“It started in his eyes and that’s where we were praying it was going to stay because the central nervous system is your eyes, your brain and your spinal cord,” Maddy said. “Unfortunately, on June 30, 2013 we found out it had moved to his brain.”

Maddy said doctors prescribed “aggressive” rounds of chemotherapy several times a week. Because of the treatments, Billy lost the ability to walk.

“He was on so many steroids,” Maddy said. “He was on 14 different medications. It just never stopped.

We were trying to run this place, we’re trying to take care of him, we’re running up to Hopkins all the time.

“Finally in September 2013, the tumor in his brain started diminishing and they approached us about a bone marrow transplant,” Maddy continued. “The gift that we got was that the doctors believed in him and believed in the research they had done. That’s why [Relay For Life] is so close to our heart, because of the research. If it had been just a couple years prior, they probably would not have been able to save his life.”

Maddy remembers the difficult time when she was tasked with being See RELAY Page 77

Relay For Life set for May 8-9 at Frontier Town Continued from Page 76 a caregiver to her ailing husband, and stressed the importance of staying positive in the face of unspeakable adversity. “The caregiver – it’s not happening to them, but it’s happening to them because they’re fighting for the person they love’s life, but yet there’s so much on their shoulders,� she said. “You’re trying to keep that person’s spirit going and you’re trying to be that rock, but you’re giving them injections and you’re cleaning out their ports and you’re seeking whatever you can seek from the doctors – however many answers you can get. “You’re online researching things and you’re surrounded by people that are going through things, and that’s how you get through it because you know you have to stay positive and you can’t let any negativity enter your body,� Maddy said. “The minute negativity enters your body, you might as well say goodbye. You have to stay straight and you have to stay positive and you have to fight the fight.�

Maddy went on to say the amount of money someone donates is not as important as the fact that they become engaged. “I don’t put the monkey on my back about how much money we raise – not in this day and age,� she said. “It’s all about whatever people can give, because everybody knows somebody that’s going through this. Whatever we can raise, we raise because we know it’s going to research.�

Speaking after the event, Clarke deflected attention away from himself and his late wife, and onto Billy and Maddy and the upcoming benefit walk. “The event wasn’t so much about Donna, it was about Relay For Life and raising money to fight cancer, which is what it’s been for years and years and years,� he said. “Donna participated in it every year and she was a cancer survivor. The only difference, of course, was that this year she couldn’t be there. “I am just stupefied at how much money we raised with that bike. I think that’s just fabulous,� Clarke continued. “What a great job Billy and Maddy continue to do for the benefit of cancer research. That’s what it’s about – it’s about them. And I was really proud of my daughters and all the work they did on it.�

Clarke also underscored the importance of the Relay For Life survivor walk on May 8 at Frontier Town, and urged people to continue giving whatever they can. “This is not over,� Clarke said. “People can be there and support Team BJ by coming out, getting involved or writing a check.�

Heritage Festival in Berlin this Sat.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 24, 2015) Saturday’s Berlin Heritage Festival promises a portal into the past, with displays, artifacts, and live reenactments.

Organizer Pat Diniar said the event began with a group of “history-minded� people who felt the town’s history was going under-appreciated. “We’ll party at the top of the hat, but nobody remembers the start of the town, which was 1868,� she said. “There were no elected officials, it was run by a committee until 1897, 1898 when they elected their first mayor, who was John Pitt, who we’re going to honor.�

More than a dozen vintage vehicles will be displayed including a 1918 touring car owned by Jack Benny, Reece Cropper’s 1941 Cadillac, a 1957 Thunderbird and fire trucks from the 1920s.

Dinair said guests will see tandem bikes and historical vegetable trucks, as well as artisans churning, hooking, spinning, weaving, lacing, quilting and knitting, all in period costumes.

Karen McClure, president of the Ocean Pines Players, wrote the historical segments. “We’re doing little short plays, like 1015 minutes long,� McClure said. “Each of these little plays depicts a different period in the history of Berlin.� “Decoration Day,� a view into 1920’s Berlin that includes a “generational clash� between Edwardian mothers and their flapper daughters, begins at noon. “Civic Duty,� set in 1942 just after the United States entered World War II, bows at 1:30, followed by “On the Road,� set in 1959, at 3 p.m.

McClure said the segments, which will be stated near the Atlantic Hotel,

took months of research in order to produce.

Charlie Flagiello, performing as “Uke Ellington,� will play period-appropriate music between performances.

Capping off the event at 4 p.m. is a performance by the Pine Tones Chorus on the steps of the Atlantic Hotel. “We’re acting out the times of this country, and we’ll have things about the history of national posted all throughout the streets,â€? Diniar said. “It’s an enormous amount of research, but I’m fortunate in that I love history and I have a group of people around me who love history‌It should be a nice day, and we hope everyone enjoys themselves and maybe learns a little something too,â€? she continued.

The Heritage Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A rain date is set for Sunday.

Commentary

Ocean City Today

No need to justify need for an airport

Ocean City’s airport has been at the center of many major arguments over the years, including the current one about whether it should be losing as much money as it appears.

Before that, the debate was not whether it should be expanded to accommodate larger planes, but how that expansion should be configured. Remember the one about city government’s plan that would require the relocation of Route 611 so the runway could be extended?

But well before that idea fizzled, bringing that discussion to a quiet end, there were accusations some 20 years ago about whether some officials were secretly working to expand the airport and were buying land to that end.

That, of course, led to adamant declarations that all land bought (that wasn’t going to the golf course) was for a federally required buffer zone.

It short, the airport has been something of a political mess for the past three decades, with staunch advocates envisioning something greater and opponents contending that less would be the best approach.

Whether the airport contributes as mightily to the local economy as has been suggested remains to be seen, but that doesn’t mean that Ocean City shouldn’t have the airport or that it doesn’t need it.

Of course, Ocean City needs the airport. Yes, people do fly to Ocean City from elsewhere and, yes, local aircraft owners and pilots do use it regularly and yes, it’s not going to pay for itself any time soon, if ever. But it is something a resort such as Ocean City needs on its marketing resume.

Maybe it doesn’t have to lose quite as much money as it routinely does and there certainly seems to be plenty of room to adjust fees to work toward that.

City officials should take a look at that possibility and stop worrying about defending the facility. It’s there and it’s staying there for years to come.

THE PUBLIC EYE Kraft trying to act natural

By Stewart Dobson

To be, annatto be.

That is the Kraft foods question, as I sit in my little litter-filled office wondering if the microwavable mac and cheese that has been in my “essentials” drawer these past few weeks might become a collector’s item.

It could be, if I survive another 20 years or so – climate change, societal upheavals, errant asteroids and a succession of crazy-*** congresses notwithstanding – that I will turn up on “Antiques Road Show” one day with my tiny tub of artificially colored goodness and hear some bow-tied expert on collectable processed foods declare, “Holy Heat, Serve and Enjoy!

I’ll give you $5k for that on the spot, more at auction!”

After all, this stuff is as American as, well, “artificial flavors added.”

It could happen, I think, as Kraft foods is doing away with the industrially created color in its mac and cheese family favorite by substituting natural annatto for those most basic of nutritional elements, Yellow Dye No. 5 and Yellow Dye No. 6.

Clearly, the world as we know it is going to the bad place.

Why? Because we’re worried more about how our cheese is colored than we are about the fact that cheese –

with easy mac and cheese

and I revert to my old hometown vernacular here – ain’t got no color.

Okay, some of it might be on the pale side of yellowish, depending on what mischief the cows got into, but anyone with a functioning set of peepers can see that milk is white. Bulletin: cheese comes from milk.

It’s not as if the little cheese molecules say to themselves in the process of their creation, “Hey, I’m not chicken, I’m turning yellow.”

That is, of course, unless they’re feeling bleu ... heh, heh.

Here are the facts: Evil genius cheese makers have been coloring their cheddar for centuries with, yes, annatto (it’s stuff from red seeds), as well as artificial substances, because some Renaissance cheeseheads concluded that yellow cheese was better than off-white cheese.

The whole thing is a fraud perpetrated on humanity by cheese-hanging hucksters going back to a bunch of 16th century monks or something who said to each other, “Let’s turn this cheese yellow, pack it in boxes and sell it to people who can’t read, which would be everyone but us.”

As would be expected, some packaged mac and cheese purists, or rather im-

purists, are protesting this switch to natural coloring by arguing, “We’ve been eating this artificially dyed cheese for generations and nothing bad has happened yet.”

Right. A couple of world wars, multiple smaller wars, and, worst of all, speed cameras, don’t qualify as bad? I say it’s all because of Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6. They drove us to madness.

And what about our current unworkable political situation that has us broken down into color-coded states? I give you Blue Dye No. 2 and Red Dye No. 40.

Apparently, Democrats have eaten too many blue M&Ms, while Republicans have sucked up one bowl too many of cherry Jell-O. The thing is, I have this little Kraft Easy Mac Cup in my office because it reminds me of my youth, including the time that my brother stuck noodles up his nose and declared, “Look, I’m a noodle cannon!” and snorted out a couple of shots across my bow.

Besides, I can’t take it home, as it is not allowed in our unprocessed food household unless I want to live the rest of my life as a yellow wrapped single.

It’s true. You know what they say, if I’m lying, I’m dyeing.

EARLY BIRD ETC. It’s spring, and anyone who

thinks that the change in seasons is being embraced by all might wonder what the worm has to say about this.

As it is, this and other familiar and maybe not-so-familiar bird species will be the targets of birders in the area during this week’s Delmarva Birding Weekend, organized

by Worcester County Tourism/The Beach & Beyond (410-632-3110 or email tourism@co.worcester.md.us.).

Located as it is along the Atlantic flyway, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia, as well Delaware, offers all sorts of stopping points for birds migrating north. Obviously, robins aren’t going anywhere, not when thare are plenty of free eats right here.
