FEMA error spikes OC flood insurance rates Mapping mistake drives high costs for properties between 93rd and 123rd

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) At least one condominium in north Ocean City is facing spiked insurance rates because of a flood mapping error, and several other properties between 93rd and 123rd Streets are poised for similar increases.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has incorrectly included segments of some ocean front properties in a high-risk zone on an online interactive flood insurance rate map. Since several third-party analysists use the website, property owners are now seeing thousand-dollar increases in their flood protection.

“We have one condo, the Rainbow [near 112nd Street] that was quoted at a premium of $460,000 for the year,” Delmarva Condominium Managers Association President Joe Groves told the Ocean City Council during Tuesday’s work session.

The Rainbow, or rather the dunes placed between it and the ocean, is the source of misunderstanding between the city and FEMA. When the structure was built in 1993, officials required that a dune be built for protection. In the last two decades, the Army Corps of Engineers added a second dune.

Before the rates were set, FEMA representatives last spring presented Ocean City government with a preliminary map. City Engineer Terry McGean said that these maps had limited features and were done on a large scale with one inch equaling 500 feet.

“We were able to scale off from Coastal Highway and confirmed where the VE [a storm velocity designation] line was – at the landward toe of the primary frontal dune,” McGean said.

FEMA defines the “landward toe” as the point where the dune changes from a steep slope to a relatively mild one. As such, the federal agency treats the two dunes as a one double-humped feature, according to officials.

It was only until months later that Ocean City officials realized the mistake.

Box 3500, Ocean City, Md. 21843 Available by subscription at $150 a year.

In January, representatives of the Insurance Management Group notified McGean that a potential Rainbow resident was told by a property analyst that the building was in VE zone.

The analyst used an interactive map, which is not endorsed by FEMA, that bases its measurements on the city-required dune. With that designation, the VE zone leaned slightly left, cutting into some properties.

“They essentially modeled that dune without the buildings. The line eclipses the Rainbow by five feet and High Point South Condominiums by 15 feet. FEMA policy states that if the building touches the worst zone, you are considered in it,” McGean said.

The erroneous zone placement not only effects two buildings, but roughly 20 properties along condo row.

Before presenting the issue at a work

session, the city staff has tried and failed to adjust the line through FEMA’s channels.

The last option is to complete a “Letter of Map Revision Application.” The form would need to be completed by Hanson Flood Risk Consultants, since the city does not have the resources to do it in-house.

Hanson Flood Rick Consultants proposed a retainer of $15,000, and if it is succeeds in have the VE lines moved, the total cost would be $65,000.

According to officials, funding for the project would come from excess funds in hotel room tax that do not cover the resort’s advertising.

Several citizens, including Groves, urged the council to provide government assistance for the residences along condo row, fearing that it could negatively affect the resort.

“[The Rainbow] can’t pay their premium. They also have loans denied from banks because of the map. I’ve talked to our congressional office, and they said ‘maybe let them pay it over five years.’ Well, in five years, if our premiums are half a million, then the ocean front real estate is done,” he said.

Ocean Place Condo resident Mac Balkcom also pointed out that if the market collapses, people will flee the area.

“People will say, ‘We’re down the street, maybe we shouldn’t buy here,’” Balkcom said. ‘The town needs to stick together and protect ocean and bay properties, not leave it to individual buildings to look after themselves.”

After hearing arguments and detailed explanations, Councilman Wayne Hartman said that the harm of the erroSee HARTMAN Page 5

County ponders property tax increase at Tuesday hearing Public input for FY 2017 budget welcome at Snow Hill H.S., starting at 7 p.m.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) The public is invited to give its two cents worth regarding Worcester County’s FY 2017 operating budget requests and a possible increase in the tax rate at a public hearing at Snow Hill High School on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The tax rate considerations are the result of growth in property values that raised the county’s assessable base from $14.3 billion in FY 2016 to $14.5 billion for FY 2017.

If the county maintains the current rate of $.835 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will generate an additional $1.5 million. To offset this the county would have to reduce this figure to $.8245, which is the constant yield tax rate. The idea behind Maryland’s Constant Yield Tax Provision is that if assessments rise, property tax rates decrease to maintain comparable revenue each year.

The county, however, is suggesting an increase to $.87, approximately 5.5

percent above the constant yield rate, to account for a gap in requested expenditures and anticipated revenue. If approved, the increase will generate $6.6 million in additional real property tax revenues.

The county’s FY 2017 operating budget has requested expenditures of approximately $193 million, and lists total estimated revenue at $187 million, which results in a shortfall of $6.5 million.

Included in the budget expenditures are the following: Worcester Board of Education $82.5 million, insurance and benefits $16.7 million, taxes shared with towns $15.3 million, Worcester Detention Center $8.7 million, Worcester Sheriff’s Office $7.6 million, volunteer fire and ambulance company $6.5 million, grants to towns $6.3 million, health department $5.7 million and $4.8 million for roads.

On the revenue side of the ledger, the vast majority of revenue, approximately $129.3 million, is generated through property taxes. This is followed by other local taxes, which pull in $23.5 million, and $18.3 million from income taxes.

Final budget approval will take place at the Commissioners meeting on June 7 at 10 a.m.

Hartman says sharp rise in rates will decrease tax base Continued from Page 3 neous flood zone designation far outweighed the application’s cost.

“When I first started reading, I thought there was only five properties effected,” Hartman said. “[This is] ultimately going to affect our property values, decline our tax base and impact the town adversely.”

The council unanimously agreed to pay Hanson Flood Risk Consultant the $15,000 retainer. Mayor Rick Meehan will also send a letter to the congressional delegation to put pressure on changing the zoning designation as soon as possible. The Letter of Map Revision Application could take up to a year to be approved.

Nationwide chicken recall affects local schools Precooked nuggets and patties could be tainted by metal, rubber and plastic

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 29, 2016) The national recall issued this week for 4.6 million pounds of institutional-grade chicken, because of possible contamination with metal, plastic, rubber or wood, has affected meal service in Worcester County schools and possibly some local eateries.

But last department includes a supplemental Tuesday, the recall was expanded to list of retail outlets where affected more than 20 products in the Gold Kist foods have been purchased. In this Farms and Sweet Georgia Brand prod- case, she continued, the brands are so

Pilgrim’s Pride spokesman Cameron Bruett said he had no additional information about the distribution of affected products.

The USDA advises anyone who has purchased the items to not consume them, and to either throw the possibly tainted material away or return them to the place of purchase.

“Gold Kist Farms has been making high-quality chicken products for the healthy student body for more than 60 years,” the product description on Pilgrim’s Pride website reads. “We provide lunch menu solutions that not only meet national nutrition guidelines, but give students the popular formats and great taste they crave. Our K-12 expertise culminates with our smart, satisfying chicken items.”

According to the USDA release, the problem was recognized when Pilgrim’s Pride began receiving consumer complaints regarding plastic contamination in chicken nuggets. The USDA statement said the company approached the Food Safety and Inspection Service on April 6, 2016, warning it of the issue, and inspectors later identified more product types and production dates following an investigation.

Trump, Clinton win Worcester in Maryland primary election Republican candidate takes counties across board, but Democratic race runs close

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 29, 2016) The presumptive Republican nominee for President and anti-establishment juggernaut Donald J. Trump steamrolled through the Maryland primary Tuesday night, winning 62.8 percent of the vote in Worcester and 54.6 percent statewide, according to unofficial results provided by the state.

Trump won every county in the state, according to the State Board of Elections.

Across the aisle, Hillary Clinton won 63.1 percent of the vote statewide, while challenger Bernie Sanders garnered 32.2 percent. In the county, however, the vote was much closer, with 51.6 percent for Clinton and 41.1 percent for Sanders.

The Republican also-rans finished in a virtual dead heat, with John Kasich edging out Ted Cruz 18.2 percent to 16 percent, or 19,252 to 17,011. Trump, by comparison, collected 66,592 votes, according to unofficial results.

On the Republican side, Maryland

is a “winner take all” state, with Trump collecting 35 pledged delegates to the convention. The remaining three delegates are required to support Trump, but not until the convention, according to Ballotpedia. For Democrats, the pledged delegate allocation is proportional. Of the 95 available, Clinton earned 53, while Sanders took 24.

In the Congressional District 1 race, incumbent Andy Harris won big, again. He collected 77,112 votes, or 78.4 percent. His next-closest competitor, Michael Smigiel, won 10,597 or 10.8 percent of the votes.

Jim Ireton, former mayor and current Salisbury city councilman, won the battle but lost the war against Joe Werner, taking the county 3,318 to 1,426 but coming up about 2,000 votes short statewide, losing 28,546 to 26,602 or 51.8 percent to 48.2 percent.

The District 3 school board race also took shape, as Sara Thompson, the longest-serving school board member in the state, will face Frank Gebhart in the November election. Thompson earned 40.2 percent of the votes to Gebhart’s 33 percent. Shirley Bunting Moran was eliminated from the race with 26.8 percent of the vote.

Berlin police seize cigarettes valued at $80K on Route 113 (April 29, 2016) Although police are highly cognizant that smugglers utilize U.S. Route 113 to ferry illicit substances, on Monday Berlin officers snagged a man navigating the popular alternative to Route 95 with more than $80,000 in bootlegged cigarettes.

After pulling over a 2015 Toyota Tundra driven by Bakeel Mofleh Alsayidi, 22, of Ozone, New York at Rt. 113 and Burley Street, the Berlin Police officer noted the subject “appeared extremely nervous” and “behaved suspiciously” when initially contacted.

Although canine assistance was eventually enlisted from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the officer could see the back bed of the truck was

packed with cartons of smokes. Unfortunately for the driver the cigarettes lacked required Maryland tax stamps.

Once the tobacco stash was uncovered the Maryland Comptrollers Office was contacted to launch a joint investigation with the Berlin Police Department.

In total Alsayidi had 1,292 cartons of unstamped cigarettes, which equates to 258,400 cigarettes. The haul was valued at $83,334, which represents a $25,840 tax loss to Maryland.

Alsayidi was citer for traffic violations and charged with transporting untaxed cigarettes. He was released after posting a $3,000 cash bond. The truck and contraband were seized by the Comptroller’s Office.

Student letter brings Hogan to OC Elementary School Third grader solicits visit from governor as part of Education Week celebration

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) He’s six months late, but Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan eventually granted one third grader’s request to stop by Ocean City Elementary School on his tour of Worcester County last week.

Back in November, third grade student Savannah Palmisano of Mrs. Spicer’s class wrote a letter to the governor, asking him to visit her school in honor of American Education week.

“It was a really sweet letter. I couldn’t make it that week, but that’s why I decided to come today. So thank you for bringing me down here,” Hogan said to Savannah in front of the entire third grade Friday morning.

Hogan started his tour of the Eastern Shore on April 19, meandering through Princess Anne and Salisbury before arriving at OCES. Although he was scheduled to stop in Worcester County’s key locations

of Assateague Island, Snow Hill and downtown Berlin, he told the third grade that Ocean City was one of his favorite spots in the state.

“I love Annapolis, where I’m from, but I also love Ocean City. My whole life I’ve been coming here in the summer. It’s my favorite place to get away and relax,” he said.

In the spirit of education, Hogan held a question-and-answer session with the dozens of students. Some questions were relatively easy.

“Are you like the mini-president of Maryland?” one student asked.

“Sort of, in a way,” Hogan answered. “I kind of like how you put that.”

Other students looked for deeper answers. In response to one third grader’s question, he said he was inspired to run for office for the Maryland people, since he met a lot of them across the state. He said he saw many problems that needed to be fixed.

He also explained that he was making education a priority since funding was reduced in recent years.

Fixing the economy was another issue he wants to tackle, so parents See GOVERNOR Page 13

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 29, 2016) When his office announced Gov. Larry Hogan’s schedule for his Eastern Shore Tour last week and noted a transportation press conference at the Board of Education building in Newark, the topic of conversation could only have been Route 113.

The governor announced $86.4 million in funding for the fourth and final phase of the Route 113 dualization project, with construction expected to begin in early spring next year, and opening to traffic two years later.

Worcester County’s major northsouth highway has been the county’s priority transportation project for decades. Despite changes in nearly every other facet of life on the shore during that time, one of few constants has been continued support to expand the highway to four lanes for its entire run through Maryland.

“Worcester County did it right,” Jim Ports Jr., deputy secretary of operations for the Department of Transportation, said. “Route 113 was put in as a priority and never once went off.

This has been through several governors, but this governor is getting it done.”

Currently underway is Phase 3, which runs from Massey Branch Road as the northernmost junction down to Five Mile Branch Road in the south. Construction began in 2015, and this section is expected to be open to traffic in 2018.

Bicycle and pedestrian improvements will be included, according to the state.

During the offseason, according to information provided by the state, this section of road carries 9,250 to 13,000 vehicles, and a couple hundred more daily during the summer.

By 2035, the state estimates traffic will increase significantly.

This section is expected to cost $50.4 million, the lion’s share of which is to come from federal sources. The state’s share is reported to be $14.2 million.

Phase 4 is a 4.3-mile stretch between Five Mile Branch Road in the north to Public Landing Road to the south, and is the final section of road to be converted from two-lane to fourlane highway. Construction will be advertised later this spring, and traffic estimates for this section of road mirror those of Phase 3.

According to figures provided by the state, the federal government will See OVERPASS Page 12

Overpass at Routes 12, 113 final piece of highway puzzle Continued from Page 11 cover $67.2 million of $86.4 million total cost, with the state picking up the balance.

The highway safety project does have a Phase 5, but it is an overpass at the junction of Route 113 and Snow Hill Road and involves no road construction. The completion of Phase 4 signals the end of major expansion efforts on the road.

“I inherited an infrastructure that had largely been ignored,” Gov. Larry Hogan said. “Transportation funds had been syphoned. State funding was slashed 96 percent. Local roads will get $6 million more in the coming fiscal year, and I’m going to commit $2 billion to infrastructure. We’re moving forward with every highestpriority item in the state — all 86 of them.”

Local advocates and officials were pleased by the announcement.

“The county wants to thank Gov. Hogan. We’ve traveled a long road to get here. Route 113 was once a dangerous road and there were too many lives claimed. The project started in 1999, and there’s one more phase to go, which is now going to be completed. Thank you governor,” County Commissioner President Jim Bunting said.

Ports, serving as emcee, then introduced Bob Hulburd, president of CRASH (County Residents Action for Safer Highways, who spearheaded the local push to expand the highway after his cousin Lee Figgs was killed on the highway in 1994.

“The community advocated for this for decades,” Ports said. “The CRASH team deserves credit for keeping the pressure on us.”

Hulburd took the podium in the Board of Education meeting room where he had spent a decade as a member.

“I’ve never been accused of being speechless but I might be today,” he said. “It’s a red letter day … the community had had enough — 97 people died in the 20 years we’ve pursued this. It became a question of ‘people preservation,’ and lives have been saved today — maybe yours, or someone you love,” Hulburd continued.

“Thank goodness for what we have. Thank goodness for the people who came before. I hope to live long enough to see it completed,” he said.

Hulburd said he expects to walk on the completed road with SHA district engineer Donnie Drewer.

Drewer, who will retire in October, said he intends to keep the promise.

Bankruptcy filing delays OC Governor reflects on job Jamboree property auction challenges at OCES visit Proceeding impedes bank’s ability to get judgment, sale held off until plan detailed

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 29, 2016) A voluntary filing of Chapter 13 bankruptcy by a coowner of the former O.C. Jamboree, Michael Weatherholtz, of Trenton, New Jersey has forced the delay of the auction of the site originally scheduled to take place today.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows an individual with a regular income to determine a repayment plan to cover some or all of their debts in an installment plan over a period of three to five years.

The court is pondering a default judgment against the listed owners: David Weatherholtz Jr., who is currently imprisoned awaiting trial on multiple charges, Michael Weatherholtz, Elaine Weatherholtz and OC Entertainment Group Inc. The mortgage holder, U.S. Bank, is seeking the property in exchange for non-payment of bills. The court has already appointed a receiver, Gray and Associates, to prepare the property for sale.

A default judgment is granted

when one party fails to act or respond to the other. However, the declaration of bankruptcy, court documents reveal, “ordinarily imposes a stay against any efforts by a creditor to commence or continue any action or proceeding against the debtor or the property of the debtor’s estate.”

U.S. Bank is pursuing a motion for relief from the automatic stay, according to court documents, but unless and until the motion is granted, the auction can’t proceed.

Bill Hastings, owner of Atlantic Auctions and charged with conducting the sale, said he was at the mercy of the courts, and couldn’t reasonably speculate on how long it might take for a decision to be rendered.

But sometimes those problems take a backseat to emerging issues, Hogan said.

“When I became governor, I thought the economy was our biggest problem, but 90 days after I entered into office, there were the riots in Baltimore. That became my number one problem,” he told the students. “Then 60 days after that, I had an unforeseen problem and I got diagnosed with cancer.”

After the questions, Hogan was presented with a framed picture drawn by Judah Ponds of Mrs. Harrison’s class. The picture was of a tree with leaves representing each student in the third grade. “’As we continue to grow, we will never forget your visit,’” Hogan said, reading the picture’s inscription. “Thank you.

Architect hired to design OCCC expansion Third phase includes large addition to Exhibit Hall A, plus entrances and gallery

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) The next phase of expansion work at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street is inching closer to reality, following the City Council’s approval Tuesday of hiring architects Becker Morgan of Salisbury to complete site and architectural plans.

Before agreeing to the $26,000 contract, the council heard City Engineer Terry McGean revisit the

1990 market and economic study that explored the original expansion of the facility.

Performed by Economic Research Associates that study recommended expanding the center to include 80,000 square feet of exhibit space, 30,000 square feet of meeting space and up to 25,000 square feet for ballroom space. These recommendations were acted on in 1997 when the convention center increased exhibit and meeting room space, along with creating a ballroom area.

“We were entering unknown territory, so the decision was made at that time to move to a 50,000square-foot exhibit hall instead of

the 80,000 square foot exhibit hall, with the thought being if the convention center expansion was as successful … you could add on to it,” he said. “The future is now.”

The third phase of convention center growth would include an additional 30,000 square feet of space in Exhibit Hall A, along with a new northern entrance and public gallery area.

Last year, Ocean City asked the Maryland Stadium Authority administer a market and economic study for the next phase of convention center development. Crossroad Consulting Services was retained to complete the study.

This is somewhat familiar territory for Crossroads Consulting, who was previously retained by the MSA to conduct a convention center expansion feasibility study that was completed in 2008. This data was utilized in 2012 for the first phase of expansions, which included a nearly 20,000-square-foot ballroom on the second story of the structure. The second phase of growth based on the study was completed in 2015 when Exhibit Hall C was replaced with a 1,200-seat Performing Arts Center.

The timing for this next phase of growth in the continually evolving convention center appears crucial, as McGean told the council that existing and potential clients have expressed reservations over facility limitations.

“The convention center over the years has been very successful, and the new Performing Arts Center is doing well,” he said. “We have events that have outgrown the 50,000square-foot hall.”

Susan Sieger, owner of Crossroads Consulting, provided market insights and data analysis garnered from the recently completed study.

“There have certainly been ups and downs in the convention and meeting industry, but in general it’s experienced a lot of demand,” she said. “It’s experienced a lot of increase in supply, and demand was a little slower catching up. So what that did was it really created a buyers market.”

She explained that clients are demanding more diverse space offerings to accommodate varying needs.

“Hotels and larger convention centers are trying to market themselves to be all things to all people,” she said. “We can be five 100,000square-foot halls or we can be a halfmillion square foot hall.”

The study found that among a comparative set of 13 facilities, the Ocean City convention center offers one third less functional space, because of a reduced amount of exhibit space and 26 percent less ballroom area. On a bright note, the convention center has comparable meeting space and is one of seven to include a theater or auditorium.

The study identified numerous economic and fiscal benefits that could result from the third phase of expansions. These include decreasing the convention center convention center’s operating budget between $44,000 and $76,000, as well as creating anywhere from 470 to 670 employment opportunities.

Also the study estimates new tax revenue could total up to a million in Worcester and between $2.5 and $3.4 million for Maryland.

The next proposed steps from the feasibility study include developing detailed site and architectural plans, as well as analyzing future parking requirements. Also construction cost estimates and financing strategies will be formulated.

Third party absolves firefighters for delays

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) An arbitrator’s ruling last Tuesday that Ocean City firefighter/paramedics missed an emergency call last summer because of faulty technology could spark a new argument in the local fire union’s contract dispute.

The 19-page decision issued by mediator Homer La Rue said the city cannot prove that three firefighter/paramedics slept through an emergency call, causing a significant delay in response time.

The Columbia, Maryland-based La Rue said the employees were not responsible for the eight-minute delay in response, since he “cannot reasonably conclude ... that the equipment involved did operate as expected.”

The arbitration hearing was held on April 1 at Ayres, Jenkins, Gordy & Almand offices at 62nd Street, with union representatives and City Solicitor Guy

Ayres in attendance.

According to arbitration documents, firefighter/paramedic Mark Lloyd and two part-time firefighter/paramedics did not respond to a call for emergency medical services on July 29, 2015 at 1:36 a.m.

The fire department argued that the crew had responded only after being realerted, resulting in a delayed response time of roughly 10 minutes.

“The [crew] had an absolute duty to respond to the 1:36 a.m. call when it came over the radio. This duty exists irrespective of the fact that the crew has the right to be in their bunks and asleep during the period the call came in,” the city argued, according to documents.

The call for service was logged at 1:36 a.m. and was forwarded by the dispatch center. Fire Department procedure states that an acknowledgement of the call should be sent out within 30 seconds. If no response is sent after a minute, dis-

patchers are to send another crew.

On the department’s end, the system also includes the radio, a pager that emits a tone and a station loudspeaker alert.

At the hearing, a voice recording of the dispatch was played, revealing seven minutes of silence, according to documents. The re-alert that was made 10 minutes later contained a receipt of acknowledgement by the crew.

At the hearing, Assistant Fire Chief Chris Shaffer testified that the radio system used by the communications division has been in place since 1992. The system is considered to be at “end-oflife,” according to arbitration documents.

In addition, the dispatcher did not reassign the call, Shaffer said at the hearing. “[Lloyd] and the members of his crew were asleep, as they are permitted to be, prior to the call,” La Rue wrote.

“The Town, however, has the responsibility to maintain an equipment alertsystem that is reliable that the crews may respond in a timely manner as rightfully demanded by the Fire Department.”

Fire Department supervisors had suspended Lloyd and the two part-time employees for a 24-hour shift. Only Lloyd had the right to file a grievance because part-time staff is not covered by the collective bargaining agreement.

La Rue ordered that Lloyd’s suspension be expunged from his personnel file and that he be paid the money lost from the disciplinary action.

The arbitration ruling is being viewed

by the local chapter of the International Association of Firefighters union as evidence that communications, not personnel shift schedules, are the problem.

The city’s new contract with the union requires a change in duty crew scheduling from 24 hours on duty and 72 hours off, to 12-hour shifts followed by two days off. The union fought that change to no avail and continues to object, even though it is legally powerless to respond.

Ayers, however, said that La Rue’s ruling could be used to substantiate the city’s position.

“If anything, I think it bolsters the town’s case. The arbitrator found that they were sleeping, and that the alarm was forwarded,” Ayres said. “It also states that the equipment is old, not that it wasn’t working.”

Mayor Rick Meehan acknowledged that technology could be a problem, but was only one small piece of the big picture.

“We are looking at ways to improve all aspects of the fire department, but a key component for improvement is moving from the 24-hour shifts,” Meehan said. “God forbid we don’t make the change and something tragic happens and we look back and see we didn’t do what was needed.”

Representatives for the IAFF were not available for immediate comment.

As the current contract stands, the 12hour shifts will be implemented by October 2017.

Uptown hotel, Candy Kitchen given approval by commission Officials say construction can begin on 123rd Street, sidewalks must be wider

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Another hotel will be going up in Ocean City, following the Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval last week of a site plan for a mid-size operation on 123rd Street.

“The City” hotel, with an attached 2,000-square-foot Candy Kitchen, will take up the long-vacant lot between McDonald’s and Dumser’s restaurants by the start of the 2017 season. During the April 19 session, the commissioners were on board with the design of the five-story hotel,

which will face Coastal Highway and will be painted with a blue and white wave design.

However, what made them pause was a proposed LED feature that will backlight the hotel’s logo and a blue light design on the structure.

Planning Commission Chairwoman Pam Buckley asked developers to avoid neon lights that have been spotted throughout the city, citing the Princess Royale off 93rd Street as an example.

“Those lights pick up everything,” Buckley said to developers. “Be lighthanded on that, because of all the residential around you.”

Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith said that there was a considerable amount of commercial properties surrounding the site, but

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved site plans for a five-story hotel and Candy Kitchen, for the vacant space between McDonalds and Dumser’s on 123rd Street.

residential buildings are sprinkled throughout the area.

“The developers have no exterior light plan just yet. They will need one before the building permit is issued,” he said.

The hotel will have 74 rooms in four of the five stories. An indoor pool, fitness room, continental breakfast area and large family-sized rooms are planned for the building.

In the presentation, Smith said that the hotel’s plan includes one parking space for each room, with no parking for employees. He added that there was enough parking in the surrounding area for shoppers.

“I don’t think the commercial element depends on street parking and I think residential has adequate parking. People will walk for a distance for street parking,” Smith said.

The site schematics did not include the eight-foot sidewalks that city planners want in most projects these days. However, officials said there was enough space for wider sidewalks and enough time to adjust the plan.

After working out the two concerns, the Planning and Zoning Commission gave the projects its blessing with two conditions: make the sidewalks bigger, and don’t blind any residents.

“The exterior is very colorful and compatible with the Candy Kitchen.

It looks really good,” said Planning Commissioner Lauren Taylor.

Free screenings at OC health fair Check carotid, skin, blood pressure, hearing, breasts, bone density, this Tuesday

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Knowledge is power and in some instances may even preserve life.

To obtain answers to medical questions, receive free screenings and learn about nearby available health services, the public is invited to attend the 30th annual Community Health Fair at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The event is produced through a partnership between AARP OC Chapter #1917, Atlantic General Hospital, and the Town of Ocean City. Last year, the Blood Bank of Delmarva came on board as a sponsoring agency, while this year American Legion Post 166 has joined the cause.

John Blocher, AARP president, said although his organization originally helped launch the health fair, in recent years the focus has shifted to become more inclusive.

“This is the one spot to get it all,” he said. “There is a wealth of information for the public, it’s just a matter of showing up.”

Sue Harting, AARP vice presi-

dent, praised the efforts of health fair Co-Chairman Dr. Melvin Friedman, who has worked with Dawn Denton to coordinate the effort for the last decade.

“Dr. Friedman is the backbone of this whole thing,” she said.

Noting the variety of offerings accessible under one roof, Harting encourages all to attend.

“Come in walk around and see what’s available,” she said. “It’s helping people discover a problem that can be avoided down the road.”

With 101 vendors booked, Denton, AGH population health clinical coordinator, said this year’s health fair has something for everyone.

“It’s a really good opportunity to see what health services are in our community,” she said. “There are no age or economic restrictions.”

Last year skin cancer screenings were added to the roster of services and Denton said clinical breast exams for women and men are being offered for the first time.

Other free screenings include: carotid, skin, respiratory, bone density, foot checks, hearing, and blood pressure. Also no-cost lipid panel and blood glucose lab draws can be performed but do require a 12-hour fasting period.

Denton said the Blood Bank of Delmarva, which participated for the first time last year, proved to be a

NANCY REITHER

perfect partnership.

“People can come to the health fair before or after they do their blood donations,” she said. “It isn’t a requirement though.”

Among the vendor offerings Denton highlighted are community weight loss support groups and others promoting holistic supplements.

“It’s not just traditional medicine,” she said.

Another partner joining the health fair is Ocean City’s American Legion, which will provide a thunderous start to the day with a motorcycle ride in at 7:45 a.m. followed by the presentation of colors at 7:55 a.m. Doors will open following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m.

“This year we partnered with the American Legion and they’re going to be there with information about veteran benefits,” she said.

Bob McClusky, AARP board member, said the fair gives people an opportunity to have some tests completed and to discuss matters with health professionals.

“You should never put health secondary,” he said.

Denton also highly encourages men to attend.

“National statistics show only 25 percent of men are proactive with their health,” she said.

Excessive trash at White Marlin Mall tackled West OC Association and residents gathering Sunday to remove garbage buildup

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Several grassroots movements have recently sprung up to pick up trash from the resort’s beaches, but across the Route 50 bridge, neighbors are banding together for one day to keep their neighborhood clean.

West Ocean City Association members and residents will be tackling the excess trash behind the White Marlin Mall on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

After meeting at the Seaside Christian School, the volunteers will fan out to pick up litter in the lot adjacent to the school’s athletic field and a nearby wooded area. The group will also do

some cleanup at the drainage ditch behind the White Marlin Mall.

“The ditch in particular is loaded with commercial trash,” said association board member Chris Remmell, who is spearheading the event. “It’s an overwhelming ton of garbage, and all of that gets pushed out to the bay.”

West Ocean City resident Remmell started the initiative five years ago when she started seeing an influx of trash on her walks in the neighborhood. Debris from homeless people who camped out in the field and woods also dotted the area. The litter could enter the drainage system’s stream, which then reaches main waterways.

Picking up the trash is also a matter of public safety. Remmell said that the woods and lot serve as a shortcut to the mall.

Coastal Highway work could beat targeted end date Now ahead of schedule; rainy days could lose time

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) While April showers may bring May flowers, an absence of said precipitation could help bring an early close to the repaving project on north Coastal Highway.

Originally slated for completion by Memorial Day, if work remains on pace, motorists could see heavy equipment trucks vanish a bit sooner than expected.

“They’re going along real well,” Donnie Drewer, State Highway Administration district one engineer, said. “Paving wise, they finished the southbound lanes and are working northbound.”

Speaking by phone while rain soaked the shore on Wednesday, Drewer said Mother Nature is the one variable that is difficult to factor.

“If we only lose one day a week we’re lucky,” he said.

George and Lynch, the project contractors, make the determination how to compensate for time lost because of weather conditions.

“We leave that up to them,” he said “They may add a Saturday.”

Nevertheless, Drewer said the current timeframes look favorable for crews to finish painting lane markings and bring the asphalt resurfacing to a close earlier in May. On a bright note, Drewer noted that in short order, Ocean City residents and tourists who have dealt with single-lane traffic patterns over the last few months, could forget about the inconvenience for at least a few years.

“Hopefully we won’t do it again for another 10 years,” he said.

STEWART DOBSON/OCEAN CITY TODAY

The army of road crews from contractor George and Lynch performing resurfacing work on north Coastal Highway continue to diligently complete the task at hand. If weather cooperates, officials say the project should be wrapped up earlier than the original target date of Memorial Day.

BOARD OF ED BRIEFS

Counterfeit money circulating Police warn of large bills used for small purchases, provide detection strategy

(April 29, 2016) The Ocean City Police Department issued an alert warning residents, business owners and employees to be on the lookout for counterfeit currency being circulated in Ocean City.

During the past month, there have been three reports of counterfeit currency, including two counterfeit $50 bills and one counterfeit $100 bill.

Ocean City police are encouraging citizens to closely examine currency, by looking carefully at the money being exchanged. When receiving a

$50 or $100 bill for a very small purchase, examine the currency.

Often times, suspects will pass the counterfeit bill to exchange it for real currency, not necessarily to purchase big-ticket items. Also, business owners are reminded that counterfeit detection pens very often generate false results. Counterfeiters can use bleached genuine currency, or coat counterfeit notes to prevent the proper chemical reactions.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board offers these tips to detect suspicious or counterfeit currency: •Feel the paper. Genuine U.S. currency has a unique feel. The note should feel slightly rough to the touch. If the currency feels different than what you are used to, examine

it closer.

•Tilt the note back and forth to observe the color-shifting ink in the right-hand corner of denominations of $10 or higher. Most bills will shift from copper to green.

•Check the watermark and security thread by holding the currency up to a light. A watermark should be visible from both sides and will match the portrait or denomination.

A security thread should also be visible from both sides and match the denomination. When held to UV light, the security thread will glow a unique color.

For more information about U.S. currency and how to detect a counterfeit note, visit www.uscurrency. gov.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) The Worcester County Board of Education discussed the following during its April 19 meeting:

Autism Awareness Month Board members read a proclamation declaring April to be national Autism Awareness Month.

Every summer for the past seven years, there has been a summer youth employment program where children with disabilities earn minimum wage for four hours of work each week.

Students receive job training and assistance from local businesses from Pocomoke up to Ocean City.

Budget cuts have reduced the number of students eligible for the program.

The Autistic Children’s Support Group of Worcester County donated more than $4,000 to allow eight additional students to participate in the program this summer.

Autism costs households $60,000 per year and one in 68 children will be diagnosed with the brain disorder in the United States this year.

Cedar Chapel Special School in Snow Hill created an awareness display and made pins to bring attention this month.

Performance Matters Performance Matters is a program used to analyze student performance on various assessments, which can be broken down to specific schools, grade levels, gender, ethnicity, PARCC scores and can measure if students are considered college or career ready.

In addition, the system collects and gives teachers early warning signs such as tracking attendance, behavior, course failures and disciplinary actions. It gives a snapshot of at-risk students and prepares teachers to intervene and get them back on track.

Writing project The importance of communication competence at Cedar Chapel Special School was displayed at the meeting with the implementation of core vocabulary boards in every classroom this year.

The boards are created from a list of 200 to 350 high frequency words, accounting for about 80 percent of working vocabulary, in addition to fringe boards, which makes up the other 20 percent.

Students use the boards to describe stories and make sentences about different books they are reading in the classroom.

Partnerships Stephen Decatur Middle School has partnerships with community organizations, which allow students to gain experience before heading to high school.

These service learning projects have taken place in partnerships with Maryland Coastal Bays Program, Worcester County Parks and Recreation, the National Aquarium, Assateague Coastal Trust, the Salisbury Zoo and the town of Berlin.

Students have planted trees, cleaned up the beaches and created a vegetable garden at Stephen Decatur Park in Berlin.

City signs on to scan reams of paperwork dating to ‘60s Officials allocate $89,755 to digitize thousands of wastewater, planning docs

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29 2016) Ocean City’s Wastewater Department will soon be bailed out from drowning in paperwork by paying a third party contractor to handle its documents.

The City Council awarded the bid for onsite document scanning services to CDRS for $89,755 during Tuesday’s work session. The cost breaks down to $59,755 to scan thousands of documents for the Wastewater Department and transfer them to a database. The remaining $30,000 will cover scanning paperwork for zoning projects.

In all, seven companies submitted offers in March. Six of the companies closely fit into Public Works Director Hal Adkins’ original estimation of $50,000 to $100,000 for the project.

Only one company overshot that ballpark figure with a bid of $306,000.

According to officials, the wastewater document scanning was not included in the fiscal year 2016 budget.

The Planning and Zoning Department has put aside roughly $30,000 this year to cover its end of the proj-

ect.

Adkins said funds from a project that could not be completed this fiscal year could be appropriated for the remaining $59,755.

“We have a roofing system that was budgeted that we’re not going to be able to accomplish, and there was $50,000 for that,” he said. “We have other savings in the enterprise fund that could cover the rest.”

Before voting on the project, some council members asked questions aimed at bringing down the cost further.

“As we downsize our workforce, there’s no person to do this in house?” asked Council President Lloyd Martin.

“There’s not. You’re talking an excess of thousands of documents,” Adkins said.

Paperwork from the Wastewater Department dates back to the 1960s and includes everything from plumbing permits to inspection notes. It also has roughly 100,000 letter-sized documents and another 20,000 documents at 24 inches by 36 inches.

Each document would need to be physically scanned into a recordkeeping software and duplicated on a CD or thumb drive.

(April 29, 2016) The Water and Wastewater Division of Public Works will begin its semi-annual program for flushing waterlines in Mystic Harbour, West Ocean City Area, Newark, Riddle Farm, Nantucket Point, Edgewater Acres, Oyster Harbor, Ocean Reef, Deer Point, Whispering Woods, and Bayside Landings in May. The purpose of this program is to remove any accumulated sediment from the lines, and to ensure the hydrants are operational. Below are the proposed dates for the flushing of the waterlines. Please be advised that these dates are subject to change: Week of May 2 - Riddle Farm and

Bayside Landings Week of May 9 and 16 - Mystic Harbour, including Bay Vista, Ocean Reef, Deer Point, Oyster Harbor, Whispering Woods and West Ocean City Week of May 16 - Newark, Nantucket Point and Edgewater Acres Even on dates the water lines in your section are not being flushed, it is still possible to experience discolored water. If area residents notice that their water becomes cloudy during these times, please allow the water to run for a few minutes until it becomes clear. For more information, call the Water and Wastewater Division at 410-641-5251.

Document digitization approved Continued from Page 25 the city could hypothetically crossreference between site plans, building evaluations and zoning permits. It could also increase the productivity by increasing speed in retrieval and document storage.

After CDRS scans the bulk of paperwork, the city will be responsible for scanning future documents. In the past, an employee handled scanning the wastewater documents, but that

position was eliminated.

“It’s far more efficient to bring in a company and knock it out than to go the route of hiring part-time or seasonal staff,” Adkins said to Council. “I rather just get it over with.”

When it became clear that outsourcing was the best option at hand, the City Council voted 7 - 0 to award the project bid to CDRS. The document scanning is scheduled to be completed in three months.

Chesapeake blue crab population expands

Go, 11247 Ocean Gateway, Berlin, said while mild winter weather is a strong initial indicator it’s still too early to predict the strength of this year’s blue crab harvest.

“There have been good surveys and good springs,” he said. “You really can’t tell until they’re moving into the rivers.”

Although water temperatures were moderate this winter, Parker said there are no guarantees ideal conditions will maintain through the summer.

“They’re listening to people sitting behind a desk,” he said. “You’ve got to listen to people on the water also.”

John Oleksak, general manager for Higgins Crab House at 31st Street and 128th Street said while warmer water is conducive to burgeoning crab populations, especially during See CRAB Page 28

Winter survey indicates yet another year of growth, but will consumer prices drop?

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Recent results from the 2016 Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey indicate another year of record growth for the callinectes sapidus population, but will this translate to lower costs to crab lovers.

Morgan Tolley, general manager for A.E. Phillips & Son processing plant on Hoopers Island, said his crabbers have gotten an early start and are ahead of schedule.

“It’s suppose to be a good season,” he said. “People were getting a lot of crabs last season.”

The dredge survey, which has been conducted annually since 1990, is a joint effort between the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Biologists spend the winter season excavating crabs, buried in mud from 1,500 sites throughout the Chesapeake Bay, to record length measurements and develop population estimates.

GREG ELLISON/OCEAN CITY TODAY

While it’s still too early for predictions, as crab season is just getting underway, the state Department of Natural Resources has indicated another leap in numbers.

This year’s data indicates a baywide population of approximately 553 million crabs, up 35 percent from last year, which posted an increase of

38 percent.

“We finished pretty strong last crab season,” Tolley said.

Crab numbers in bay now totaling over 553 million Continued from Page 27 spring, the jury is out for seasonal results.

“We’re still going to have to wait and see what the weather does,” he said. “A lot of rain could keep the water cold.”

In addition to Mother Nature’s variable impact, watermen must factor in overhead expenses.

“It still costs a crabber a certain amount of money,” Parker said.

Despite the potential for large crab hauls, required supplies and materials could factor into cost structures.

“A lot of it has to do with the price of bait and chum,” Oleksak said.

“They’ve got to cover their costs.”

Albert Levy, owner/GM of the Crab Bag at 13005 Coastal Hwy. said the increased numbers don’t always mean a superior product.

“We love Chesapeake Bay crabs, but when I buy them, they’re just not big enough for some customers,” he said. “If they really want to get the population up, wait until they’re six inches.”

While admitting this proposal might not resonate with area crabbers, Levy said his out-if-state suppliers deliver consistently larger selections.

“I can’t put all my crabs in one basket,” he said. “If you want big, fat crabs, the Chesapeake Bay is not there yet.”

Patience is virtuous and Oleksak acknowledged that often the sweetest crabs are pulled at seasons close.

“The end of the year is when they get nice and fat,” he said.

Parker concurred that larger numbers doesn’t necessarily translate to larger sizes.

“Just because there are a lot of crabs, it doesn’t mean there are a lot of big crabs,” he said.

Consumers may see overall lower prices but there are no guarantees.

“You won’t see dirt cheap prices, but it could impact prices some,” he said.

Last year’s strong harvest did provide an abundant supply but the bottom line for consumers wasn’t that notable.

“They weren’t rock bottom last year, but they were reasonable,” Oleksak said. “Prices could probably drop with the right scenario.”

Anticipating a nice class of crabs all season, Tolley expressed his preference for Chesapeake Bay bottom dwellers.

“I’m just excited that we’ve got a nice local crab we can enjoy all summer long,” he said.

During a recent dining experience in Nashville, Tolley was disillusioned when he inquired about the lump crab cakes listed on the menu. “ I asked the waitress where the crabmeat came from and she said ‘New Zealand,’” he related. “I said that’s not crab meat, that’s fish.”

Elks Lodge holds ceremony for hometown heroes, Thurs.

Banner dedication to take place near North Division Street at noon next week

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Before raising 40 banners along the Boardwalk, the Ocean City Elks Lodge will be dedicating each one to active duty and former service members in a ceremony Thursday afternoon.

The lodge will be holding a Hometown Heroes Military Banner dedication ceremony on May 5 at the firefighter memorial on the boards.

The program typically is reserved for 20 active service members. But this year, it has doubled its size to include World War II veterans. In all, 23 World War II veteran and 17 active military personnel honored on the banners this summer.

“I’ve never been involved in something that has such an ecstatic response from the public,” said Pat Riordan of the Elks’ Veterans Committee. “Last year, we had more than 100 people at the ceremony, and we have half the banners we have now.”

The Hometown Hero program began honoring local service members in 2014 by hanging banners on Boardwalk light posts from the inlet

to Fourth Street. The banners are five-feet long and display the service member’s name, rank and military photograph. Last December, the City Council approved expanding the program to former World War II soldiers and personnel.

“They’re not going to be around forever. We owe it to honor them because they made a sacrifice to keep us free,” Riordan said.

He added that the banners for veterans have a different color scheme than the usual participants. Activeduty members have a red, white and blue theme, but the WWW II honorees will be sepia-toned, making it appear more like a monochrome photograph from the mid-20th century.

During the brief ceremony, the honorees will be asked to name their stations and, if possible, to give a short description of their duties. Six WWII veterans from Gull Creek Senior Living Community in Berlin might attend the ceremony, according to organizers.

Public works employees will install the banners sometime in the upcoming weeks. That’s where they’ll stay until they are taken down at the end of the season.

On Oct. 22 at the Elks Lodge, the organization will present the banner to the honoree or his or her family.

WELCOME BIKERS!

PHOTO COURTESY PAT RIORDAN

This summer, the Elks Lodge’s Hometown Heroes Banner program will commemorate 40 military personnel, including World War II veteran John Gough and active-duty member Marquzes Fooks, on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

Riordan said that businesses, fraternal organizations and citizens can sponsor the Hometown Hero program at $295.

“There’s no advertising involved,” he said. “No benefits but the honor of

supporting the troops. That’s the beauty of it.”

The Banner Dedication Ceremony will start at noon on May 5 on the Boardwalk near North Division Street.

POLICE/COURTS

Fatal crash Norris Beard Jr, 58, from Seaford, Delaware, died on April 21 after crashing a car on Route 50.

Maryland State police from the Berlin barrack reported Beard left the right side of the road, struck a ditch and overturned the car. Beard did not have a seat belt on and was ejected from the vehicle, the report said.

Beard was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead and his body was transported to a medical examiner for an autopsy.

According to the report, troopers believe alcohol was a factor in the crash and Route 50 was closed for several hours after the accident.

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Berlin fire and police departments and the Maryland State Highway Administration assisted with the incident.

Burglary Ocean City police officers arrested Eric Schiatta, 22, of Kendall, New Jersey, on Sunday for fourth-degree burglary after he entered a closed restaurant downtown.

Upon arrival, police reported Schiatta was sitting at a table in the dining room, he smelled of alcohol and had trouble communicating.

After reviewing security system footage, police were able to determine Schiatta entered through an unlocked dining room door and nothing was missing or damaged inside the establishment.

Hit and run, drugs David Olshinsky, 49, of Ocean City was arrested on Monday for hitting a car and leaving the scene.

Ocean City police officers reported the complainant was waiting at a red light when Olshinsky sideswiped the victim’s car before driving away.

Shortly after, police located Olshinsky and reported he smelled of alcohol.

Olshinsky’s vehicle had multiple scratches and black paint transfer con-

sistent with the victim’s car, according to the report.

Police stated Olshinsky denied being involved in an accident, would not complete field sobriety tests and refused to provide police with his registration and insurance information.

Olshinsky was arrested and charged for hit-and-run and driving while impaired.

Police said that during a search, Olshinsky was found to be in possession of numerous Clonazepam pills, which are used to treat seizures and panic disorders.

Olshinsky was ultimately charged with 15 offenses including controlled dangerous substance possession and multiple traffic violations.

Car crash Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested and charged Ryan Kolbush, 20, of Pocomoke for driving under the influence of alcohol and violation of his license restriction on April 16.

Police reported that after talking with Kolbush they could smell alcohol and he did poorly on field sobriety tests, which led to his arrest.

Assault An Ocean City police officer arrested Michael Fitzgibbon, 32, of Archer, Florida, for second-degree assault on Sunday.

Upon arrival, police witnessed several security guards of a local hotel holding Fitzgibbon down.

Police reported Fitzgibbon attempted to enter a vehicle in the parking lot and when a security guard approached him, the accused charged and grabbed the victim before they both fell to the ground.

Another security guard came to the rescue and was able to tackle Fitzgibbon to the ground until police arrived, the report said.

Police said Fitzgibbon was intoxicated and he was issued a trespass warning for the property.

Minutes later, Fitzgibbon allegedly walked back on the property and was arrested for trespassing.

Long-delayed boat ramp gets underway with bid opening

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) After years of delays and dead-end discussions, the Ocean City government’s plans to build a public boat ramp between 64th and 65th Streets were launched this week when the City Council opened three bids for construction.

City officials are considering bids ranging from $770,000 to $1.6 million to build a new facility between Dead Freddie’s restaurant and the wastewater treatment plant.

“The total project is estimated to cost $1.5 million, and that does include a $815,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources,” City Engineer Terry McGean said during the council’s Tuesday’s work session.

According to city staff, the $685,000 deficit will be covered by what Ocean City borrowed in the 2012 bond issuance.

After the ramp is constructed, McGean said there are no plans for the Little Salisbury ramp, which is currently the resort’s only public access boat launch. That ramp was built decades ago, when the neighborhood was less populated. Today, the residential area is booming and the ramp’s location has spawned traffic issues with people park-

ing boat trailers on the streets.

“I have no idea what will happen to the old ramp right now. That will have to be brought to council at a later time,” McGean said.

Local companies Murtech and HiTide submitted the lowest bids of $775,741 and $980,775 respectively.

Rehak Contracting LLC of Baltimore proposed a cost of roughly $1.6 million.

The ramp will take 10 months to build, which is significantly less time than the preliminary work devoted to the project. City officials bought the land behind the Rick’s Market shopping center from former owner Rick Laws, who wanted to build a hotel there. Laws eventually sold the parcel for $5.1 million after the city initiated condemnation proceedings in 2010.

The city also struggled to obtain a mostly-submerged segment of land, behind Dead Freddies. Former property owner Robert Kirchiro likewise refused to sell, but eventually struck a deal after Ocean City threatened to condemn the land. Dead Freddies transferred the land to the city in 2014.

The last obstacle for the 64th Street boat ramp was obtaining a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, which cleared the project in November. The facility’s designs were finalized weeks later.

Decatur softball team comes from behind, wins 17-13

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 29, 2016) The Stephen Decatur softball team scored five runs in the sixth inning to earn a 17-13 comefrom-behind victory over the Crisfield Crabbers in Berlin on Monday.

“The girls started off slow offensively, and finally started to hit the ball well and take advantage of errors.

And, we were aggressive on the bases,” Decatur Coach Heather Patnode said.

“We too, made some errors, but then had some great plays as well.”

Crisfield and Decatur both scored two runs apiece in the first inning. The visiting Crabbers added four in the third to take a 6-2 lead.

The Lady Seahawks cut the advantage to one, tallying three runs in the bottom of the third.

Crisfield pulled ahead 9-5 in the top of the fourth, but Decatur answered, scoring four in the bottom of the inning.

The Seahawks drove in three in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 129 lead.

In the top of the sixth, Crisfield sent four across the plate to gain a 13-12 advantage.

“I told the girls in the sixth, ‘it’s now or never. We need to get one hit, one base at a time, and jump on this pitcher and take the lead. Be aggressive at the plate and on the bases,’”

The Seahawks listened to their coach, scoring five runs in the sixth to pull ahead, 17-13.

“We are still adjusting our lineup and ended up having another athlete get hurt during the game,” Patnode said. “It’s been a struggle to have all of our girls available and healthy at every game and every practice. We are still learning, improving and adjusting every day.”

Senior captain Madelynn King

pitched the first five innings. She gave up 12 hits, walked three and struck out six.

Freshman Lexi Black took over for the sixth and seventh innings. She allowed five hits, walked one and struck out two.

On offensive, Black went 2-for-4 with three RBIs. King had one hit and was walked twice.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 29, 2016) The Stephen Decatur girls’ track and field team earned top honors during last Thursday’s seven-school meet on their home course in Berlin, while the boys’ squad came in a close second, behind Arcadia.

“I thought the girls did well for the most Jody Stigler part. I was hoping the boys could have won, but unfortunately, that did not work out,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said.

“The weather was decent, but pretty windy, so I think when we have a nice day, we will have lots of personal records on the track.

“We are doing OK so far for this time in the season. We still definitely need to find a few athletes to fill some places for us,” he added.

Decatur’s Lady Seahawks scored 210 points in the victory. James M. Bennett was second with 167 points, followed by Nandua (56).

Senior Dayona Godwin threw the shot put 32 feet 2 inches, good for first place and a new personal record. Junior Bethany William recorded a personal record in the triple jump (34 feet 6 inches).

Lady Mallards win 17-1; 14 players net goals

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 29, 2016) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team’s 17-1 victory over the Salisbury School Dragons on Wednesday in Salisbury was a group effort as 14 players scored goals.

“Goals were so incredibly spread out and (seven) assists were spread out as well,” said Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker.

Junior Karlie Southcomb led the charge with four goals. Thirteen players – senior captain Grace

Tunis, juniors Olivia Bescak, Melissa Laws, Leigh Lingo, Cameron Langeler, Regan Lingo and Julie Talbert, sophomores Reese Gittelman, Caroline Pasquariello, Mia Meacci and Marissa Grosso, and freshmen Delaney Abercrombie and Gracie Gardner – scored one goal each.

Worcester led 8-1 at halftime. The Lady Mallards outscored the Dragons 9-0 in the second half.

Sophomore Sophia Bandorick made three saves in goal for the Prep team.

“They’re doing a good job transitioning the ball down the field and not forcing the ball on offense,” Flounlacker said. “The more confident they are with the ball and with each other the more fluid the offense will be.”

The Prep team will travel to Easton today, Friday, to battle its Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres, at 3 p.m.

When the two teams went headto-head on April 15 in Berlin, Worcester won 16-11.

“They have moments of greatness.

Other times, they try to rush things.

We just need to take our time, work as a team and come out with high energy,” Flounlacker said. “We’re expecting a really good game.”

Worcester’s two seniors – Tunis and co-captain Regan Shanahan – will be recognized on Saturday when the team plays the Polytech Panthers at 1 p.m. in Berlin.

“It will be another strong, competitive team,” Flounlacker said. “It will be a good game as well. We can’t look past anyone at this point.”

Annual Island to Island half marathon, 5K race this Sat.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Thousands of runners from 38 states and Canada are expected to participate in the 12th annual Island to Island half marathon and 5K on Saturday, hosted by OC Tri-Running Sports.

“During the half marathon, runners go from one island to the next and finish up in town with family members waiting for them,” said event organizer, Chris Klebe of OC Tri-Running. “The 5K runners will be through and cheering them on as well. It is a great environment to finish in and they come in with smiles on their faces.”

The half marathon course will begin on Assateague Island at 7 a.m.

Participants will run along Route 611 to Landings Boulevard and make a left into the Park and Ride lot in West Ocean City. Runners will travel through West Ocean City and over the Route 50 bridge. Once reaching the Ocean City inlet parking lot, participants will be greeted by family and friends as they complete the last leg of the race. They will run down to Fourth Street, turn around, circle the rides and cross the finish line in the inlet parking lot.

The 5K will start at 7 a.m. at the inlet parking lot with participants heading north, around the pier to the concrete portion on the Boardwalk.

They will head up to 16th street, turn around and come back to where they started.

There is an hour time limit for the 5K and a three hour and 15 minute time limit for the half marathon.

About 3,300 runners participated last year and athletes continue to travel from near and far.

First, second and third place males and females in each race will receive

awards. The top three males and females in each age group will also win prizes.

Half marathon finishers will receive a medal and 5K participants will be given a dog tag.

A post-race party will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the inlet parking lot and is free to attend.

There will be deejays along the course and at the party. Dough Roller will be selling pizzas and drinks.

“After the post-race party, go into town and have fun in Ocean City,” Klebe said. “We are looking to have another successful year and mimic last year’s event.”

From 2-6 p.m. on the deck at Fager’s Island on 60th Street, postrace activities will continue with the Stims performing live and $4 seasonal craft beers for participants when they show their race bibs.

Packet pickup will take place today, April 29, from 1-9 p.m. at the inlet and will be the last chance for participants to enter. There will be no registration on race day. The half marathon costs $95; $45 for the 5K. On Saturday, packet pickup will take place from 5:15-6:15 a.m. and buses will take half marathon runners to Assateague Island. There is a specific schedule for pickup times, which are determined by the runner’s last name.

This year’s race will once again benefit Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services. Founded in 1975, the organization assists thousands of area residents each year by offering counseling, advocacy, outreach, support, professional education and training with offices in Pocomoke and Berlin.

Decatur baseball team still unbeaten; improves to 14-0

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 29, 2016) The Stephen Decatur baseball team boosted its record to 13-0 on Monday, with a 123 victory over the Crisfield Crabbers in Berlin.

The Seahawks scored one run in the first and two in the second to take a 3-0 lead.

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the third, senior Gus Esham hit a grand slam home run. The Seahawks tallied five runs in the inning to pull ahead 8-0.

Crisfield scored its three runs in the top of the fourth.

Decatur added one run in the bottom of the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth.

“We got some big hits. Gus had

that grand slam, which was nice, and we had some timely hits,” said Decatur Coach Rich Ferro.

Esham was 1-for-4 (grand slam) with four RBIs. Senior Lane Dillon went 2-for-4 (singles) with one RBI and sophomore Tristan McDonough was 4-for-4 (double, three singles) with two RBIs. Senior Brendan Scott added two RBIs off a double. He also started on the mound for the Seahawks. In four innings, he struck out five, walked three and allowed two hits.

Junior Brice Messick finished the game, striking out three and allowing two hits in three innings.

“We did score some runs, but it was just a lazy game. Just not a whole lot of energy [because] they’re tired,” See BOYS Page 41

Boys progressing, ‘learning on the fly,’ Coach Ferro says Continued from Page 40 Ferro said. “They played 14 innings on Saturday [2-1 win over Easton] and eight on Thursday [5-4 win over North Caroline], so 22 innings in three days.

“They’re playing six days a week [and] with school, they’re tired,” he continued. “Zach [Adams] has caught every single inning of every game, the pitchers are tired; we’ve got to get some rest…Hopefully, we just get reinvigorated.”

Two days later, Decatur traveled to Princess Anne to take on the Washington Jaguars. The Seahawks won 61 on Wednesday to improve their record to 14-0.

Decatur is scheduled to play the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tues-

day at 4 p.m. in Salisbury. The next day, the Seahawks will travel to Stevensville to battle the Kent Island Buccaneers at 4 p.m.

The final game of the regular season is Saturday, May 7, against the Dover High School Senators at Shorebirds Stadium in Salisbury, at noon.

To have a successful finish to the season, Ferro said “we need to throw more strikes, get some timely hits and play good defense, and we should be OK.” “They’re progressing,” he added.

“A lot of these guys haven’t had a whole lot of varsity at-bats or experience [coming into the season], so they’re still learning on the fly and getting better.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 29, 2016) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team netted 17 shots and held the Salisbury School Dragons to five goals during Wednesday’s game in Salisbury.

The visiting Mallards led 12-2 at the end of the first quarter. They added two goals in the second quarter to go into the halftime break with a 14-2 advantage.

The Worcester Prep starters got the team off to a commanding lead, so Coach Kevin Gates gave them a break in the second half and the rest of his players took the field.

Worcester tennis coaches pleased with performance Continued from Page 42 Brendan Miller recorded an 8-3 victory at second doubles.

“Overall, we did well. I thought they adjusted well to the wind,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “We’re a strong team with a lot of depth.”

To be successful in the final few matches of the season, Underkoffler said the Mallards needed to be consistent, play aggressive tennis, have solid serves, keep their opponents off balance and adjust to what they do well.

“Overall, we’re pretty young,” he said.

“They’ve really come along pretty well.”

Worcester battled the Parkside Rams in Salisbury on Wednesday. The Lady Mallards won 5-2 and the boys’ team edged out the Rams, 4-3.

Carulli and Batra took their first and third singles matches 8-1 and 8-3, respectively. Nateson trailed 0-3 in her fifth singles match, but fought back to win 8-5.

Down 0-2 in their first doubles match, juniors Stormy McGuiness and

Eva Parks topped their opponents, 8-6.

Wolpin and Sens earned an 8-2 victory at second doubles.

“Parkside is a very skilled opponent.

It was a good match all around,” Hudson said. “The girls really stepped up.

I’m thrilled with the progress the girls have made and how competitive they’ve become and how they stick with it when they’re down.”

Freshman Will Todd (8-3) and Choy (8-1) won their third and fourth singles matches, respectively.

Pritchard and C. Miller (8-6) and Nally and B. Miller (8-2) were successful in their doubles matches.

“Very encouraging tennis played versus Parkside,” Underkoffler said.

“We were sharp in our ground stroke rallies, served well, and were aggressive at the net.”

WP seniors to be honored Saturday Continued from Page 43 made one save in the third quarter.

Sophomore Jack Fager took over in the goal for the fourth quarter.

“I thought we played well. Everyone contributed,” Gates said. “Nine different guys scored. Now we have to get ready for Friday’s game.”

The Mallards will host the Calverton Cougars today, Friday, at 4:30 p.m.

“It should be a good game. Hopefully we come out confident, ready to go and turn the tide,” Gates said. “They’ve won [the Metro Independent Lacrosse League] ever since we’ve been in it [the last several years]. We need to shoot smart – they have a very good goalie – they have a good defense, and we need to shut down their offensive players.”

The next day, the Bishop McNamara Mustangs will come to Berlin to play Worcester at 1 p.m. The senior Mallards will be honored on Saturday, which is the final home game of the regular season.

Frog Bar kicks off season with new owner; open daily

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) John T. Darby had been frequenting the Frog Bar at the inlet for years, until he finally decided to buy the “million dollar view” last August.

“I was always coming down [to Ocean City] for the fall and spring car shows,” Darby said. “I just love this place, and I knew after coming up here all the time, I can’t let this go.”

The intimate bar and restaurant is placed to take full advantage of the spectacular view, a panorama of the inlet, Assateague Island and the Atlantic Ocean. Catching a glimpse of a horse grazing, or a dolphin swimming by, are not uncommon occurrences.

Frog Bar is open for the season every day, at 8 a.m., and serves breakfast until 11 a.m. The owner plans to keep the bar open through the end of October.

“The people are one of the main reasons I decided to take over,” Darby said. “We have a great staff, and our regular customers are the nicest people.”

The restaurant and bar retained the manager, bartenders, cook and menu from the previous owner.

Frog Bar is known for its bestselling mushroom Swiss burger, which is a creation of cook Lisa Hevner.

In addition, Frog Bar patrons rave

about the juicy and tender wings. They are first rotisserie cooked, before being deep-fried.

All of the sauces are homemade by Hevner, with flavors including mild and hot, garlic and Old Bay. The Crack of Dawn bakery in Berlin delivers freshly baked bread to the Frog Bar every day, and sandwiches are topped with veggies from a local produce stand.

Every year, an herb garden is planted with basil, rosemary, parsley, thyme and chives to give flair to the dishes Hevner whips up, including homemade sauces and seasonings.

Vegetarians are offered a “Portobello Samich,” and turkey burgers will appear on the menu soon.

During breakfast, patrons are en-

couraged to try Hevner’s famous omelets.

“Most of our menu is bar food, but nothing is precooked and everything is made fresh to order,” Darby said.

Happy hour is every day from 3-6 p.m., including a “Froggy” happy hour from 8-9 p.m.

“We have all day drink specials, and cold beer,” Darby said. “[Enjoy] great people, great food and a great view.”

Frog Bar will introduce pitchers of raspberry sangria, peach sangria and mimosas in the near future.

“We are known for our orange crushes and bloody Mary’s,” Darby said. “Last August, by 3 p.m., we had sold 500 oranges crushes in one day.”

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (April 29, 2016) If you don’t have good credit, you cannot get a mortgage — simple as that. Due to the importance of having good credit in the pursuit of homeownership, here is a summary of what goes into your FICO score (FICO is short for Fair Isaac Corporation, which is the well known company that provides software for calculating a person’s credit score that the majority of lenders use).

FICO scores are calculated from many different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories, which include: • 35 percent payment history • 30 percent amounts owed • 15 percent length of credit history • 10 percent new credit • 10 percent credit mix The percentages in the above categories reflect how important each is in determining how your FICO scores are calculated. Base FICO scores have a 300-850 score range. Generally speaking, scores above 600 are needed to get approval for a home loan, but the exact score needed varies from lender to lender.

Your FICO scores consider both positive and negative information in your credit report. Late payments will lower your FICO Scores, but the older the negative reporting is, the less it will count towards a lower score. The newer good payment patterns that show on your credit report will help the past credit problems fade over time.

There is also the problem of having no credit score. In order to establish a credit score, you generally need at least one account that has been reported to the credit bureau for the last six months.

Many people worry that allowing more than one lender to pull their credit report will negatively affect their credit score. But FICO scores distinguish between a search for a single loan and a search for many new credit lines, in part by the length of time over which inquiries See FICO Page 46

Also, it’s OK to check your own credit report, and this won’t affect your credit report as long as you order the report directly from the credit reporting agency.

To keep a healthy credit score you should check your credit report regularly, make your payments on time (setting up credit cards on auto pay is a helpful tool to remember to make your payments on time), and reduce the amount of debt that you owe.

New structure for shopping center, renovations continue

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) The Ocean City Square shopping center, located between 118th and 120th streets, bayside, will have a highly efficient, 12,000 square-foot commercial building, along with several new year-round tenants, by the start of summer.

“In 2013, a major ongoing renovation began with new roofing, replaced heating and air conditioning units, all new storefronts including a façade facelift, and energy compliant LED lighting,” onsite property manager, Randall Coburn, said. “We hope to have everything complete by the fall of 2016.”

Constructed in 1983, Ocean City Square was designed to be open for yearround residents, in addition to tourists.

In 2012, there were 21 vacancies. As of April 21, only four remain.

The shopping center contains national and international businesses, including Food Lion, Dunkin Donuts, Minuteman Press, AT&T, SherwinWilliams, Tutti Frutti, and Long & Foster Real Estate.

It also has a wide range of local businesses, such as Café Vape, Accurate Optical, Telescope Pictures, Old Time Photos, Barefoot Brides, Billy’s Sub Shop, #1 Chinese Restaurant, Whisker’s Pub, OC Massage, Jules Restaurant, Sam’s Ocean City Haircuts, Dolle’s Candyland, Escape Room, Kokkinos, OC Beach Wax, Polock Johnny’s, and O.C.

Charter flights, taxi services now available at OC airport

(April 29, 2016) Ocean Aviation was awarded an FAA Air Carrier Certificate by the Federal Aviation Administration on April 12, which officially allows Ocean Aviation to offer charter flights and air taxi services to the public.

Ocean Aviation, which was established at the Ocean City Airport in 2007, offers aviation services including aircraft maintenance, professional flight training, pilot shop and aircraft rental. The addition of Aircraft Charter Services will allow the operation of air taxi and charter flights from Ocean City to virtually any destination.

“Our goal, since our inception almost nine years ago, was to be able to offer an air taxi service,” company President Michael Freed said. “We can now offer the public easy access to the major cities of the northeast, such as Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia or virtually any destination.

We have worked long and hard to earn this Air Carrier Certificate, and we are very proud to finally bring this service to the residents and businesses here in Ocean City.

“While not as inexpensive as driving, we bring a very efficient means to access areas that would normally take hours to travel to. Think about jumping over the traffic of a typical summer day, to arrive at your destination in a fraction of the time,” he continued. “Whether it is to get to that Orioles game in Baltimore, or to move your sales team into the field and back the same day, Ocean Aviation can deliver up to three passengers to their destination and bring them home in comfort and style. We can operate from large executive airports of smaller local airports.”

Hundreds, if not thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts stop by Hooper's Crab House in West Ocean City for the annual Bikes to the Beach Rally last year. The 2016 spring event was scheduled to kick off Thursday and runs through Sunday.

Sixth annual Bikes to the Beach Spring rally includes poker run, bike show, live musical entertainment and vendors

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Ocean City’s sixth annual Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally is in full swing, with a poker run, custom bike show, tons of live music and many more activities taking place throughout the area today, Friday, through Sunday, May 1.

As it has since the event’s inception, Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City and Oasis Bar and Grill in Whaleyville will host most of the activities, which kicked off yesterday, Thursday.

Between 15,000 and 18,000 bike enthusiasts show up for the rally every year. Weather plays a huge role in attendance, said Hooper’s General Manager Ryan Intrieri.

“This event was designed to bring people to the beach and fill the hotels and restaurants,” he said. “The bikers say this is one of their favorite weekends and we are lucky enough to have

bigger sponsors and more local businesses participate each year.”

Participants can register for the spring rally at Hooper’s, located at the foot of the Route 50 bridge, for $25 at any time throughout the weekend. The first 200 people to register at Hooper’s will receive an official rally T-shirt, five drink tokens to any participating location and 10 chance tickets to win prizes, including an allexpense paid vacation for two to the 2016 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. The winner will receive free airfare, hotel accommodations and transportation of their motorcycles courtesy of Con-Lei Transport.

“Anyone who is a biker, their dream is to get to Sturgis,” Intrieri said. “It is the rally of all rallies, has been around for more than 70 years and the most popular.”

The second prize winner will receive free airfare, hotel accommodations and transportation of their motorcycles courtesy of Con-Lei Transport for two to Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach, Florida. Third-place winner will be invited back to Ocean

City in September with two free tickets to Bikefest and a two-night stay at a local hotel.

“The third-place winner will also receive gift certificates to local restaurants,” Intrieri said. “The goal is for the winner to not have to spend a lot of money when they return.”

In addition, organizers have randomly deposited 10 red tokens into registration bags, which are instant prizes ranging from motorcycle jackets to gift certificates.

Attendees do not have to register to participate in winning prizes and organizers encourage patrons to bring any sponsor location receipts to the main event tent at Hooper’s to redeem chance tickets.

“Every $10 you spend in a sponsor location whether it be a hotel or restaurant, can be redeemed for one chance ticket,” Intrieri said. “If you spend $300 at a sponsor hotel, you receive 30 chance tickets and it increases your chances.”

All prize winners will be announced at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Fish Tales on 22nd Street.

Down the road at Oasis in Whaleyville, there will be live entertainment from a variety of bands throughout the four-day event including The Real Deal Band, Lime Green, Clean Getaway, Poverty Ridge, Black Tide Rising and Debbie Caldwell Band.

Tonight, Friday, there will be bar bingo from 8 p.m. until midnight with $500 in prizes up for grabs.

The bar at 7539 Old Ocean City Road will have vendors and food spe-

cials, manager Jack Seamon, said.

“Were looking forward to a great event to kick off summer,” he added.

“Everyone needs to come down and stop by all the places holding events and have a good time.”

Some of the other Ocean City and surrounding area venues hosting Spring Bike Rally events include Brick House Restaurant in Pittsville, The Globe in Berlin, Matteo’s in Fenwick Island, Coins on 28th Street, Pickles Pub on Eighth Street, Dead Freddie’s on 64th Street, Seacrets on 49th Street and Fish Tales on 22nd Street, bayside.

Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/delmarva-bike-tour-locations for information on events happening around town.

The Spring Bike Rally started six years ago when some local business employees got together and decided to have an event to satisfy the community’s need to bring people back to the town during the offseason.

“This is the kickoff to the riding season with cheaper rates since it’s still considered the offseason,” Intrieri said. “The purpose is to spread the event out to all businesses and we hope people notice there is something going on in town.”

Fish Tales, Rommel Harley-Davidson, Ketel One, Crowne Royal and Lady Law are the main event sponsors. For each $10 participants spend in any of the event sponsor locations including participating hotels and restaurants, they will receive a chance ticket.

“We want to make it fun and the most positive feedback is hearing the event is all about riding, coming to the beach and enjoying themselves,” Intrieri said. “It is not about Hooper’s, and we support all businesses. We are in this together and we hope it’s successful for everyone who is a part of it.”

Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com for more information about the Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally, running today through Sunday at Hooper’s, Oasis and other area locations.

Pursue a moneymaking idea, Gemini, because a partnership project is something right at this venture in time. Create a solid relationship with someone you trust and get started.

A particular goal may seem like an uphill battle to anyone else but you, Leo. You have the stamina, work ethic and the personality to overcome any obstacle.

Capricorn, you are often the one to help others, but this week you need some assistance. Accept any help you can get and thank those around you for their willingness to lend a hand.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, distractions may be enjoyable this week, but you have to limit them or you will get nothing done. There’s a lot on your plate that you have to complete.

OC Restaurant Week ends Sunday Twenty-nine establishments offering special, fixed-price menus during promotion

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) Locals and visitors have three days left to check out the 10th annual Ocean City Spring Restaurant Week, with 29 establishments participating in the event designed to draw customers to area businesses as well as provide chefs with the opportunity to show off innovative dishes.

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

“Different customers prefer different experiences and menus,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “Foodies prefer more twists on the menu, while others want more traditional items, and we have a fantastic variety of both.”

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

“This is the 10th anniversary and it is the most participating restaurants we’ve ever had,” Jones said. “A few of

the restaurants are featuring the special commemorative cocktail by Clint Dempsey.”

It is called a Limon Blossom, which includes muddled lemons, Bacardi Limon and St. Germaine Elderflower shaken and served in a glass rimmed with sugar and topped with soda and a splash of cranberry.

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

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

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

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

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

Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week back from a travel summit on the Western Shore in 2007, she said.

Micky Fins is exxcited to announce the opening of the Quarterdeck.

Our newly designed waterfront dock bar…We are Located In The Ocean City Fishing Center Just South Of the RT. 50 Bridge, West Ocean City.

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

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

For participating restaurants’ menus and prices, visit www.oceancityrestaurantweek.com.

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

Annual Maryland International Kite Expo this weekend

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) The 22nd annual Maryland International Kite Exposition begins today, Friday, and continues through Sunday on the beach between Fourth and Sixth streets.

The three-day festival draws thousands of visitors to the Ocean City Boardwalk for free activities hosted by the Kite Loft.

“If you are looking to have fun either spectating or participating bring your kites and family,” said Jay Knerr, owner of the Kite Loft. “You can learn how to fly, enjoy the day and we should have an awesome event.”

The Mid-Atlantic Stunt Kite championships will take over the sky all weekend long, including two- and four-line sport kites flyers competing for trophies.

“This event is exclusively for spring and there are different events within requiring precision of certain maneuverers and flying in different shapes such as a square or octagon,” Knerr said.

In addition, there will be a ballet portion where flyers choreograph kite movements to a piece of music with single or team kites.

another. It is really cool to watch and people love it,” Knerr said. “Everything is timed and changes to the music. It is cool to see.”

Free sport kite lessons will be going on all weekend on the beach at Sixth Street.

“During the giant kite show on Saturday we are trying to beat a world record,” Knerr said.

Flyers are attempting to keep 10 huge and unusual-looking kites named “Trilobyte” up in the air, which are 32 square meters a piece.

Germany holds the current record with eight, he said.

Throughout the weekend, individ-

ual demonstrations will take place including the Revolution Invitational.

Four quad line flyers with two classes of individuals will compete in this new event. The first group has less than two year’s experience while the second are experts.

“Each person has two minutes to impress the judges and they have ultimate control,” Knerr said. “We encourage flyers to be creative with routines and there are cash prizes. It is tons of fun.”

“There are unlimited beer tastings at a great value,” said Jackie Miller, Seacrets marketing manager. “Attendees can talk with brewers, learn about the process and take in their creativity.”

There will be 12 local brewers on hand featuring a smorgasbord of craft beers, which will be paired with Seacrets’ menu items for an additional cost.

“We were able to lower the price [of tickets] and up the quality of food,” Miller said. “We are hoping to be bigger and better this year.”

Burley Oak of Berlin, Evolution out of Salisbury, Dogfish Head from Milton, Delaware, Fin City of West Ocean City, 3rd Wave from Delmar, Delaware, Fordham & Dominion of Dover, Delaware, Backshore Brewing from Ocean City, Tall Tales out of Parsonsburg, Assawoman Bay of Ocean

City, RAR from Cambridge, Mispillion River Brewing of Milford, Delaware and Ocean City Brewing Company are the local breweries slated to provide samples.

Backshore Brewing will be offering its Boardwalk Blonde, which is a light ale with subtle fruitiness at 4.3 percent alcohol, and Downtown Sugar Brown, an English brown ale with a slight brown sugar flavor with a hint of sweetness at 6 percent alcohol content.

“We are also featuring two handcrafted tea flavors,” said Backshore Brewing owner, Danny Robinson.

“The first has a white, mango flavor and the second has a sweet lemon flavor or southern sweet tea taste.”

Fin City’s Bad Luck Banana is on tap at Seacrets and features seven types of dark, caramel, chocolaty malts mixed with fresh bananas and English hops. Look forward to tasting the company’s newest release, Weedline E-Z IPA, at the beer fest, which will provide attendees with a hemp flavor at 4.2 percent alcohol. Double Hook Double IPA is also on the menu, which is Fin City’s most aggressively hopped beer and has dry additions of earthy hops over the course of many days.

“It is 7.9 percent alcohol, very drinkable and not too bitter,” said See TWELVE Page 62

Fin City will be launching a new beer every month this year with releases no one has put out yet, he added.

“It is a great event at a fantastic venue,” Brady said. “There will be other great breweries there and with the camaraderie, it is a lot of fun.”

Fin City’s Weedline E-Z IPA will be paired with pan roasted clams while attendees can enjoy Evolution’s Exile Red with fish and chips or munch on barbecue pork ribs while knocking back 3rd Wave’s Sandstorm Belgian Tripel.

There will be several bands and deejays playing throughout the 49th Street venue at the Tiki Stage, Main Bar and Morley Hall nightclub. Expect to see local bands from the Eastern Shore, Miller said.

The afternoon kicks off at 1 p.m. with Side Project on the Tiki Stage, DJ Tuff spinning tunes at the same time in the Morley Hall and Melissa Alesi and Lauren Glick starting off performances in the Main Bar at 1:15 p.m. The next round of performers will begin at 1:30 p.m. with Under the Covers in the

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Spicy pineapple and papaya salsa prepared

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 29, 2016) Is it truly fair to deem a dish the very best?

Choice of ingredients, techniques and creativity must be considered when bestowing top honors.

But at the same time, personal preference eventually becomes a factor. At that moment, culinary conclusiveness must be questioned for the simple fact that partiality has manifested itself.

The criterion for cookery competition extends beyond the lore and science of the kitchen. Experience, intuition and a discerning appreciation for food heighten ingenuity to a degree of definitive precedence. Fusion is hot and the multi-culture trend has expanded traditional ways.

But again, final judgment is flavored by subjectivity and therefore fashionably biased.

For the sake of argument, let us suppose there is a spicy pineapple and papaya salsa contest and the winner gets the bragging rights for the

best spicy pineapple and papaya salsa on the Eastern Shore.

The first train of thought for consideration is what type of papaya does one want to use. The two major types of papaya are Mexican and Hawaiian. Although most papayas in supermarkets are grown in Hawaii, others are grown in Mexico and areas with tropical climates.

According to Types of Papaya Fruit, Mexican red papayas have rose-colored flesh with a sweet flavor, though they are not as sweet as papayas that grow in Hawaii. Mexican yellow papayas, with yellow flesh, are sweeter than Mexican reds but not as sweet as Hawaiian papayas.

The papaya will be paired with pineapple, so this is another option for debate. Does a chef want sweet papaya to be parlayed with sweet pineapple, or should the sweetness be toned down a bit. Once again, variables of different degrees have crossed the bridge of individuality which affects the final outcome of being absolute.

White, red, yellow, or sweet onions are the next subject at hand. Each onion has a special flavor profile;

chefs must be aware of this for their purpose intended. I have witnessed judges voicing their negative opinion on a particular type of onion that was used. The logic and composition of their critique may warrant validity, but is that to say their judgment reigns supreme.

I could discuss in detail the reasoning behind the remaining specific components but it would be superlative. My case in point is straightforward; cooking is subjective and excellence is mirrored by the palette of the beholder.

Spicy pineapple and papaya salsa is quite tasty and ideal for the spring and summer months. Papaya does not rank supreme in popularity through no fault of its own; many Americans are simply not familiar

with the succulent fruit. Following are a few tips to impart knowledge and confidence.

If you want to eat papaya immediately, choose ones that have reddishorange skin and slightly soft to the touch. Those that have patches of yellow color will take a few more days to ripen. Papayas that are totally green should not be purchased unless you are planning on cooking them or unless you want to use it in a cold dish like an Asian salad where the flesh will develop its characteristic sweet juicy flavor. Most people discard the big black seeds but technically speaking they are edible.

Spicy pineapple and papaya salsa is great with blue corn tortilla chips.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Top burger, tuna or eggs with salsa Continued from Page 63 ates the gorgeous, tropical colors.

If one is serving brunch, the tropical salsa is an interesting topping for omelets. The fluffy egg foundation can easily support the sweetness of the pineapple and papaya.

If one wants to spice up their grilling menu, serve spicy pineapple and papaya salsa as a topping for burgers. This is a sure way to wow your guests and make the burgers the center of attention. While we are on the subject of burgers, turkey burgers have a tendency to be dry. The zesty salsa will not only add moisture but a “kick” to what many consider a bland sandwich.

Blackened tuna or swordfish will pair wonderfully with the sweetness of the fresh fruit. If pork strikes your

fancy, simply reduce the salsa until it has the consistency of chutney and serve it on the side as a condiment.

Ocean City Arbor Day celebration at Northside Park

(April 29, 2016) The Town of Ocean City will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 29 at Northside Park, when 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. Perhaps the highlight of the Arbor Day celebration is when students assist the mayor and city council in planting a tree at Northside Park as part of the Beautification Committee’s TreeMendous Program.

Buy Pinch Me Therapy Dough and support Bootstrap USA Continued from Page 65 “The book takes kneading the dough mindlessly while watching television to another place,” Rothner said. “It talks about molding the dough into different shapes that have symbolic meanings, emotions and associations for clients.”

A clinical hypnotherapist from Lewes, Delaware, Rothner’s invention was inspired by her parents. She wanted to make a product that helped reduce their stress, in addition to relieving stress for people who do not visit her office.

Pinch Me Therapy Dough focuses on touch, sight and smell. Working the dough helps relieve tension, while the 11 scents are intended to draw positive memories.

The choices include tropics, ocean, beach, spa, winter, autumn, citrus, summer, spring, ginger, and a scent for men.

“Over the holidays a couple [Pinch Me

Therapy Dough] were added and early responses indicate they have been well received,” Rothner said. “The perfect way to bring awareness and help cope with stress is to try out the products and book.”

The 66-page book lists the many ways clients can use Pinch Me Therapy Dough to relieve stress, with tips, pointers and practices.

Every container purchased, contributes toward military personnel’s stress management training through Bootstrap.

Pinch Me Therapy Dough has teamed up with Bootstrap USA since its inception.

“We love paying it forward and Bootstrap recently had an influx of need,” Rothner said.

Each container of the stress-relieving putty costs $23.99 and shipping is free anywhere in the U.S. Rothner’s “Stress Relief in a Pinch” book costs $12.99 and

Nancy Rothner recently published a new book, “Stress Relief in a Pinch,” and released six new Pinch Me Therapy Dough scents. The 66-page book lists the many ways clients can use Pinch Me Therapy Dough to relieve stress, with tips, pointers and practices.

customers can order it and a Pinch Me Dough container for $33.99.

“Each of our personalities are different, which makes us gravitate to different scents,” Rothner said. “People are unique and unpredictable with the wide variety of scents. Spa is our number one seller and tropics is close behind, but all the others have been even. The solutions

to destroy stress are simple and effective, more than we could ever imagine.”

The product and book can be purchased online at www.pinchmedough.com. To learn more about Bootstrap, an easy-to-use yoga system specifically designed to help heal military duty-related stress, including post-traumatic stress, visit www.BootStrapUSA.com.

Seventh annual Taste of Finer Things huge success More than $30,000 raised to help construct Coastal Hospice at the Ocean in OP

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 29, 2016) More than $30,000 was raised last week during the seventh annual Taste of Finer Things – a “pearing” of fine food and fine wine from 17 local chefs – benefitting the capital campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.

Every year since its inception in 2010, Taste of Finer Things has grown in attendance. The 2016 event, held April 20 at Harrison’s Harbor Watch, located at the southern end of the Ocean City Boardwalk, sold out two weeks in advance. A total of 225 people attended.

“Many people have been touched

by Coastal Hospice at the Ocean,” said Stephanie Meehan, chairperson of the event. “Our restaurants are the greatest and the quality of food is phenomenal. This is what I have heard from people who did not even make the event. Harrison’s Harbor Watch staff is supportive, gracious and you cannot beat the view.”

The event has raised roughly $160,700 to date, and about $4 mil-

lion of the $5 million needed to start construction of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean in Ocean Pines has been donated, said Coastal Hospice Director of Development, Maureen McNeill.

The Ocean Pines waterfront hospice residence and outreach center will be three stories tall and house at least eight patient rooms, a kitchen, mediation room, a shared patient care area and a palliative care clinic.

“The patient rooms are designed to feel like you’re at home,” McNeill said.

Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization founded in 1980. It cares for patients facing lifelimiting conditions in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties.

“We are naming the kitchen [inside Coastal Hospice at the Ocean] in honor of the committee,” McNeill said. “They are wonderful and we are fortunate to have these folks.”

This time next year, Coastal Hospice staff hopes to be admitting patients into their new Ocean Pines facility.

For more information, visit www.coastalhospice.org or call 410742-8732.

Commentary

Internet info can often be suspect

Just because it’s on the Internet doesn’t mean it’s true, but for whatever reason people — and businesses — tend to think that way, as was evidenced this week by the report that one local building’s flood insurance premium went soaring because of a mapping mistake.

Apparently, the creators of a web-based map used as a source by insurance analysts placed the Rainbow condominiums in an adjacent high-risk zone because they thought, rather than knew, that’s how it was situated.

Even though the map is not endorsed by FEMA, the agency’s website nevertheless lists it as a place to find information pertaining to a property’s flood risk exposure.

Simply put, they got it wrong and now the Rainbow is looking at an insurance premium of almost a halfmillion dollars. Moreover, as was pointed out to the City Council this week, the erroneous information about the Rainbow might lead people to conclude that neighboring properties might also have a problem, thus depressing real estate sales and property values.

Correcting this wrong, however, is not just a matter of making a phone call or writing a letter. No, city government has to prove that the map is mistaken by employing a consulting firm to assess the circumstances and then file a “Letter of Map Revision Application.”

If this approach succeeds and the revision is granted, it’s going to cost the city $65,000 for the consultant’s services.

All because of an error that had nothing to do with Ocean City government or even FEMA’s findings. It’s just a mistake on the Internet that will remain true until Ocean City proves otherwise.

Letters to the editor Gun ownership personal choice

Editor, I cringe every time I see the term “common sense gun laws,” as I did in the April 8 letters to the editor of this paper. It seems some (i.e., liberals) think that if they use a term that indicates that their viewpoint is correct, then it must be correct … in spite of the facts.

Are guns used by bad people to kill good people? Yes, of course (and so are fists, blunt instruments, knives, etc.). Do the guns of lawabiding American citizens sometimes fall into the wrong hands and kill good people?

Yes, sadly there are evil people in this country, and that is a terrible thing. But, the illusion of an “epidemic” of gun crime is created by using inflated statistics, that include suicides, accidental deaths and justifiable (selfdefense) homicide, including police-related incidents.

On top of that, folks who commit suicide (approximately 40,000 a year), as well as the criminals who died because of their own actions are included as “victims” of gun violence. (In one anti-firearm online posting, the names on a list of “victims of gun violence” in-

cluded the San-Bernardino terrorists – killed by police – and the man who was shot by the Ferguson police officer, as he was pummeling the officer).

Getting back to the letter, the writer refers to “the deplorable record of our fellow citizens becoming victims of gun violence,” but how many of the guns used in said violence were legally purchased or registered? How many of the perpetrators attended the firearms safety course mandated by state governments?

How many of those guns were possessed by felons and/or drug dealers who are not supposed to have guns in the first place, as per another “common sense law?”

How many of those guns were possessed by repeat offenders of violent gun crime?

Why aren’t those armed criminals who prey on “our fellow citizens” given mandatory “throw the book at ‘em” sentences? Why won’t the democrats pass laws to maximize the penalties for illegal gun possession and use?

How is penalizing the lawabiding for the acts of violent criminals common sense?

As always is the case, those who would deny lawabiding citizens the ability to defend themselves use tragic worse case scenarios to tug at

the heartstrings, as if they are everyday occurrences. The truth is that incidences of firearms involved in mass murder in this country are a rarity, rather than the commonplace event that the liberal politicians and media make them out to be, and most have been committed by severely mentally ill individuals who are forbidden from possessing firearms, according to the common sense laws that already exist.

And, as sad as these incidents are, simple math (using statistics cited on the very liberal “Mother Jones” website) shows that the guns used in said crimes represent a ten thousandth of one percent of the approximately 100 million legally owned guns in this country. So, how the heck is it common-sense to disarm law-abiding citizens of their legally owned self defense weapons, weapons that never have or never will inflict harm on anyone, weapons that someday may save the lives of the law-abiding gun owner and their families?

On top of that, all of those horrible incidents have occurred in “gun-free zones!”

Yes, “gun-free zones,” another one of those common sense liberal solutions that Continued on Page 94

Ocean City Today

PAGE 94

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 93 basically accomplishes nothing, other than making innocent people sitting ducks.

It seems obvious that the democrat/liberal/progressive/socialist idea of common sense gun laws are those that disarm law abiding citizens, so that they become more vulnerable to “becoming victims of gun violence” that the letter writer speaks of, violence that is being perpetrated by criminals who abide by no common sense gun laws, and who are not prosecuted under the already existing federal mandatory sentence gun laws, because of democrat pandering to a demographic of their base. (Yes, there are a slew of harsh and mandatory federal gun laws that go unenforced).

Gun violence is committed by bad people, people who are a menace to society. Common sense tells us that law abiding citizens are not committing gun violence, common sense tells us that a gun cannot commit violence, just like a car cannot commit a DUI death.

A final word in response to the “common sense gun regulations” let-

ter; what would an anti-self defense rant be if it didn’t include a demonization of The NRA (National Rifle Association), which is the oldest civil rights organization in the country.

Yes, like it or not, self defense is a civil right, and people such as the letter writer want to take that right away from the law-abiding firearm owners.

The liberal utopia is a country where only the government – and the criminals – are armed. You may not be comfortable with gun ownership, that is your personal choice to make, but don’t tell the rest of us that we should surrender a constitution right and a God-given duty to protect our homes and our family.

There was a bumper sticker in the 70s that read, “Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile has killed more people than my gun has.” And that is still true today for the more than 100 million legally owned firearms in this country. Maybe the liberals should work on common sense Oldsmobile laws.

Right about wrong

I was amazed to learn last week that I have been wrong more than once.

That assertion, you might argue, suggests that I know I have been wrong just one time, which some would find difficult to believe. The thing is, it really depends on how you count.

The way I see it, you can be wrong about multiple things at the same time, which would leave you with one overall wrong that, I suppose, could be broken down into various subwrongs were one to nitpick.

Of course, I do subscribe to the belief that wrongs can be depreciated over time, thus giving me the opportunity to declare, “I never said that, because it was seven years ago and has been taken off the books.”

That hasn’t worked for me so far, but there is always hope.

Having said that, I can’t wait for seven years to pass, so I can say with certainty that my column last week about presidential visits to the Eastern Shore was not wrong.

Until that time comes, however, I must confess that I received a phone call last week from local attorney and historian Joe Moore who informed me that I was mistaken when I said that Franklin Roosevelt was the last president to visit the Eastern Shore.

As it happens, he reminded me, presidents Richard Nixon and Bill

APRIL 29, 2016

By Stewart Dobson

Clinton were on the Eastern Shore when they came down to visit Assateague Island.

Also, as it happens, I did know that, but I was apparently suffering from a bad memory chip at the time I was writing. After all, we covered Clinton’s visit in 2000. As for Nixon’s visit in 1972, he came by car and I actually got to see the tinted window behind which he sat. Obviously, I should have remembered that.

Now that I have set the record straight, I expect that my record will be expunged seven years from now and that I can return to being right all the time. In the interim, I’m brushing up on zoning law, just in case Mr. Moore calls for my help. It just could be I’ll know more about that than I do presidential history.
