No money for inlet from OC? Mayor’s statement says resort’s taxes help pay for study
Fencing technique Workers install a section of the new median fence on Coastal Highway in midtown Ocean City. It’s being done to get pedestrians to use crosswalks rather than attempting to get to the other side by walking out in traffic. Motorists can see through the fence when they’re adjacent to a section, but when they look ahead, it will appear more like a white wall that divides the highway. GREG ELLISON/OCEAN CITY TODAY
FOP, city ratify three-year deal Cost-of-living, step increases, earlier retirement age part of new police pact with resort
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) Despite nearly reaching an impasse during labor contract negotiations in late February, the mayor and City Council ratified a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police for more than $1.1 million on Monday. FOP Lodge 10 President Joe Bushnell
said the process played out in similar fashion to contract discussions in 2015, when a stalemate almost triggered binding arbitration. “We present a list of things we want and slowly whittle it down to the big issues,” he said. “At the end of four days, we hadn’t reached an agreement.” City Manager Doug Miller said the contract meetings involved extensive give and take. “There was aggressive bargaining on both sides,” he said. “Their negotiation team was very well organized.”
While talks were amicable, Bushnell said by early March the police bargaining unit felt the chasm was too wide and arbitration appeared imminent. “We filed an intent to go to arbitration,” he said. After laying its cards on the table, Bushnell said the city kept the lines of communication open to avoid taking matters further. “We we’re kind of far apart [but] they came back with a new last-best final offer,” he said. “The previous negotiaSee ARBITRATION Page 79
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Calling Maryland’s only access to the Atlantic Ocean the Ocean City Inlet is a misnomer in the view of resort officials, who are suggesting that it’s more like the Worcester County Inlet when it comes to jurisdictional matters. Resort Mayor Rick Meehan said as much last week, after the Worcester County Commissioners asked the resort to help pay for a study of the inlet’s severe shoaling problem. Meehan said because the inlet benefits the county overall, the shoaling problem is a county issue and that Ocean City is already helping financially with the property taxes it pays to the county. His statements were in response to an April 19 letter from the commissioners seeking the resort’s financial participation. The City Council has yet to issue a formal response. “The town believes that this project benefits all of Worcester County and should be a county-funded project, Meehan said. “The commercial harbor is located in Worcester County and this project benefits West Ocean City, Ocean City, Ocean Pines and surrounding areas. “Ocean City is part of See RESORT Page 78

Disaster recovery outfit to tackle Alamo recovery
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) One of the area’s oldest and perhaps one of its more notorious motels, The Alamo, is getting a complete makeover courtesy of Mark Odachowski, new food and beverage options by Neely and Ryan James of Mother’s Cantina, and a new Caribbean theme as well as a self-contained resort atmosphere. The Alamo has stood sentinel along Route 50 in West Ocean City since the 1940s, with a large sign and bright colors, but those were the last two remaining high points of a motel whose See CARIBBEAN Page 5

Caribbean theme coming to motel Continued from Page 3 reputation was best left behind. Despite that, Odachowski said he is keeping the name. “We thought about changing the name, but if you change the name but don’t change the establishment, then you really haven’t changed anything,” he said. “It’s easy to change the name.” Besides, he said, everyone was just going to call it The Alamo anyway, no matter what his team ended up deciding to call it. With that said, the name and the walls are basically all that will be left over from the whirlwind revamp and opening. “Everything went into the dumpster. We moved 5,140 cubic yards of material into the dump,” he said. “Everything is brand new, clean and safe. The Alamo of old is gone. We’re trying to make it more than right.” He’s trying to make it more than right more than fast, too. Odachowski said he expects to be open in two weeks. “We’re in disaster recovery and disaster cleanup — this is what we do,” Odachowski, owner of Royal Plus Electric, said. “This town finally gets to see what we do elsewhere.” He said they replaced the plumbing, wiring, fixtures — everything. The layout will remain the same, while everything else will change. Odachowski said he was taking his inspiration from the Caribbean as he creates the new Alamo. “The idea is for block buildings with metal roofs,” he said. In keeping with the theme, a poolside bar has been added, along with a volleyball court, cornhole setup and the existing horseshoes pit. The food and beverage provider has also been named. “What he is envisioning and what we are going to be is so awesome in that location,” Neely James, of Mother’s Can-

tina, said. “We’re building out a small resort.” At this point, with the reopening date so close, James said there wouldn’t be a lot of surprises on the menu to start, which is good news for fans of the popular 28th Street oceanside restaurant. “We really want to bring the essence of what Mother’s is to the new Alamo and to add in new tropical drinks, with fresh fruit and tropical flavors,” she said. “Eventually we’ll add in other styles of food to broaden our offerings, but we’re going to stick with what we know for now.” James said she and husband Ryan were considering expanding Mother’s Cantina, but not into another restaurant — they were thinking about catering, or wholesaling, but Odachowski’s offer came in at the right time with the right idea. The impromptu team is working hard, and fast in order to catch the summer 2018 season. Odachowski said the property came on the market about

three weeks ago, and he was competing with eight other buyers, but he said he eventually won out with a cash offer and is expecting to go to closing any day now. Along with motel rooms, Odachowski said there would be seasonal rental units for visiting workers or members of the Beach Patrol, for example. Though the new Alamo is expected to open in just a few weeks, the ribbon cutting is expected on June 12.

OC $129 million FY 19 budget first reading Numbers change little from work session figures with second reading May 21
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) The Ocean City Council approved the first reading of a more than $129 million fiscal year 2019 operating budget, which includes just over $85 million for the general fund.
Little discussion preceded Monday’s vote after Budget Manager Jennie Knapp reported the final figures represent an increase of more than $635,000 from the current fiscal year. Despite the additional spending, Knapp said the sum is small enough that no tax increase will be required, with the coming year’s rates the same as the current year’s — .4656 per $100 of assessed value of real property and $1.29 per $100 of assessed value of corporate and personal property.
The council could have kept tax bills mostly level by adopting the state-calculated constant yield rate of .4667 cents. The difference in dollars generated between the two rates is $11 on a property valued at one million dollars. The constant yield rate increased slightly for fiscal 2019 after assessments decreased almost a quarter of one percent. Property taxes are the top revenue source at approximately $43.1 million,
up from the $40.68 million collected during the current fiscal year. Public safety leads the pack for expenditures at approximately $35.9 million, up from roughly $35.3 million during fiscal 2018. The budget figures are largely unchanged from the numbers presented following a handful of budget work session in April. The council will hold a second reading for the fiscal 2019 budget on May 21 prior to final passage in June.

Maryland blue crab picking blues
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) It could be slim pickings for the crabbing industry and much higher crab meat prices for consumers, as Maryland crabmeat processing plants sit at a standstill because their foreign crab pickers were denied visas in February. Morgan Trolley, general manager for A.E. Phillips & Son processing plant on Hoopers Island, which began operating in the early 1950s, said the situation is dire. “My doors are shut right now and I’m still closed up like it’s wintertime,” he said. “Out of the eight biggest crab houses in the state of Maryland, four haven’t got any workers.” For decades, the bulk of crab pickers have been brought from Mexico under the H-2B non-agricultural temporary worker program, which Congress currently caps at 66,000 per fiscal year, split evenly over halfyear increments. Problems arose in late February when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services received roughly 47,000 applications for 33,000 visas allotted during the second half of fiscal 2018 starting March 1, which were subsequently awarded though a lottery on Feb. 28. “We’ve been using this non-immigration H-2B program since the late 1980s because we had a decline in the domestic workforce to pick crabs,” he said. Albert Levy, general manager of the Crab Bag at 13005 Coastal Highway, said the domestic labor picture looks bleak for processing plants. “They’re not getting American pickers anymore,” he said. “They are basically going to be out of business when it comes to picking crab meat.” The laws of supply and demand will likely dictate price hikes for locally sourced product, Trolley said. “If we don’t have crab pickers, the price of picked domestic blue crab meat is going to skyrocket,” he said. Bob Higgins, who operates Hig-
gins Crab House on 31st Street and 128th Street, said while the future is unclear, there is little doubt that prices will be affected. “One question is are we even going to be able to get our product,” he said. “We’re moving from a winwin to a lose-lose.” With lack of supply virtually assuring price hikes, Trolley said authentic Chesapeake Bay crab cakes will become scarce. “When the price goes up is when restaurants are going to start falling back on imported crab meat,” he said. “Even though it’s a cheaper product for a restaurant, it’s not our domestic Maryland blue crab meat.” Levy said the lack of crab pickers would have a negative trickle down effect on consumers. “The prices are going to go through the roof and the supply will be virtually nil,” he said. Shuttered picking houses could prove economically debilitating for watermen who typically generate low profit margins, Levy said. “They’re not going to have a market for those [non-premium] crabs anymore,” he said. “They’re not going to be able to afford to do what they do unless they’re getting a high percentage of good crabs out there.” Levy said a bumper crab season could be on tap next year if an abundance of smaller males and mature females, also common for picking, are tossed back. Higgins envisioned two pricing scenarios depending on crabber practices. “Is the price going to go up because they get thrown back, or is the price going to go down because that much more product comes into the pipeline and creates a glut in the market?” he said. Premium prices for domestic blue crab meat will cause a higher percentage to be exported, Levy said. “The quality crab meat is going to all go to the foreign market,” he said. With demand high, Higgins said it would prove fiscally prudent to ship limited supply elsewhere.
“There is a lot of demand for that same product,” he said. “There are a number of wholesalers that package and ship to Asia and California.” Although Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) and Gov. Larry Hogan have requested the H-2B visa cap be increased by 15,000 for fiscal 2018, which the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor did approve last fiscal year, Trolley remains pessimistic. “We did some statistics in our office and you’ve probably got a better chance of winning the lottery than I do getting my workers,” he said. With the economy growing and low unemployment, Trolley said filling the picking spots locally remains more challenging then ever. “We’ve been hunting for domestic workers for years,” he said. “It’s not a function of money … it’s finding people who want to work.” Although expedient pickers working on per pound rates can earn around $14 per hour, Higgins said there are obvious drawbacks for American workers. “Nobody wants to leave a fulltime job with benefits to go to a seasonal job,” he said. Trolley also noted Hoopers Island rural location limits the candidate See MARYLAND Page 10

OCDC annual awards event honors resort past, present
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) Resort movers and shakers converged for the Ocean City Development Corporation’s 18th annual meeting and awards ceremony last Wednesday at Shenanigan’s Irish Pub, Fourth Street and the Boardwalk. Chris Trimper, OCDC president, opened the presentation by noting that the organization continues to focus on the end game, even after almost two decades of existence. “In these 18 years, many things have changed, but our focus has remained the same: revitalizing downtown Ocean City,” he said. Joined on stage by his wife, Michelle, just days away from delivering the couple’s third child, Trimper said another crucial aspect to the nonprofit’s mission is forming lasting connections between neighbors and the city. “It’s about melding community and family,” he said. Trimper also offered accolades for Executive Director Glenn Irwin’s dedication to revitalizing downtown. “Glenn Irwin works hard to make Ocean City a better place,” he said. Among the initiatives spear-
headed by Irwin, the façade improvement program has resulted in more than $6 million of private investment, Trimper said. “Since we started in 2002, there have been 200 buildings and businesses that have exterior renovations,” he said. Three awards were given for façade improvements: Dylan Jones at 15 St. Louis Ave., R.G. Roeder Jr. Family at 601 Baltimore Ave., and Spiro Buas at 7-9 Baltimore Ave. Two winners were selected from the Business Assistance Project program, which matches funds for interior and operations upgrades. “In the past year, we had four projects,” he said. “We currently have three projects with a leverage ratio of 12.9-to-1.” The winners this year were South Pole Ice Cream Roll at 10 North Division St. and Ocean 13 on the Boardwalk at 13th Street. Taking home the New Construction award was St. Paul’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church at 302 Baltimore Ave. Tom Shuster, church construction team project manager, said the project, which was designed by the Becker Morgan Group and built by

Map Meal Gap report finds small drop in food insecurity (May 11, 2018) A report issued this week by Feeding America said its study, Map the Meal Gap 2018, found that approximately 665,420 people in Maryland, including 205,890 children lack consistent access to enough food to support a healthy lifestyle. These estimates have decreased from the last year’s study by 16,860 individuals and 14,120 kids, respectively, reflecting only a slight downtrend in statewide food insecurity, despite the economic recovery. “While these numbers are promising, the incremental improvement shows how complex and challenging the fight against food insecurity really is,” said Maryland Food Bank President & CEO Carmen Del Guercio. “We need to do more to continue making progress, including protecting and strengthening federal nutrition programs, so people facing hunger have the essential food resources they need to feed themselves and their families.” Map the Meal Gap 2018 also reveals that 39 percent of Maryland res-
idents who aren’t guaranteed a next meal are likely ineligible for federal nutrition assistance under current program requirements, just as Congress looks at further restricting eligibility for these programs through the Farm Bill. “We’ve known for some time that the high cost of living in Maryland combined with economic factors including stagnant wages contribute to the rate of food insecurity in this state,” Del Guercio added. “It’s heartening to see some of these numbers improving, however others are not moving the needle as much as they need to be. That’s why we’re focused on continuing to invest in existing MFB programs and developing new ways to reach more people in need.” On the Eastern Shore, the study found that 42,120 people living in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties do not have a consistant food supply. That’s down from 44,570 people last year.
Givarz commemorated by OCDC with memorial plaque Continued from Page 8 Street,” who died last July at age 66. “Bob will always be remembered for his many stories and the people he recalled growing up on the Boardwalk,” she said. “Bob loved Ocean City as much as Ocean City loved him.” In addition to being a board member since 2003, Givarz was also the OCDC president from 2012-2015. Also honored were a pair of departing members of the OCDC Board of Directors: Charlie Barrett who joined in 2004 and Chris Trimper, who joined the board in 2009 and had served as president since 2015.
To close the night, Reid Tingle, OCDC nominating committee chair, introduced returning members Igor Conev, Buddy Dykes and Bill Seig, as well as new members, Patrick McLaughlin, Bob Torrey and Nick Teknen. Looking forward, Trimper said OCDC would sponsor the Shorecraft beer fest on Oct. 27 at Sunset Park. Last year, the event drew 1,200 people, double the 600 who attended the inaugural event in 2015. Trimper also said OCDC would sponsor nine Sunset Park Party Nights on Thursday evenings this summer.

Spring Cruisin’ gets special zone welcome from OC,SHA
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) With the 28th annual Cruisin’ Ocean City rumbling into town next Thursday, Police Chief Ross Buzzuro told the City Council on Monday plans are ready to establish temporary special event zones to curtail reckless road behavior. Based on concerns emanating from Ocean City following car events last fall, Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38) and Delegate Mary Beth Carozza (R-38C) sponsored companion bills to permit the establishment of special event zones with reduced speeds and increased fines. Passed as an emergency measure, the bill became immediately effective after receiving Gov. Larry Hogan’s signature in late April. “We’re very optimistic … for our first event … approaching us,” Buzzuro said. “We will be ready and special event zones throughout Ocean City will be established … all in the good name of public safety.” In response to public outcry last fall, the mayor and council formed a Motor Events Task Force, which met in December, January and just last month, to seek solutions. With the first car event imminent, the council reviewed those efforts during its meeting on Monday. Buzzuro said the State Highway Administration (SHA) and Public Works are coordinating with the police to institute the new approach. “Public Works … will be changing speed signs throughout a good portion of Ocean City,” he said. During the last task force meeting on April 25, Buzzuro said speed limits between 33rd and 62nd streets would be reduced to 25 mph, with special event zones starting on Tuesday, May 15 continuing through to Sunday, May 20. Mayor Rick Meehan said the SHA would display driver alerts about the altered speed limits and boosted fines on
leaderboards and road signs along Route 50. To further spread the word, Meehan has encouraged all Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association and Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce members to display comparable messaging on its leaderboards. “Let’s let everybody know this,” he said. “The more the businesses cooperate, the more participants see that message, we think the better it will be for everybody.” Meehan also praised Buzzuro for soliciting assistance from across the Maryland law enforcement spectrum. “The largest number ever, including now the Department of Natural Resources,” he said. The efforts to reign in reckless driving notwithstanding, the basic Cruisin’ premise would remain unaltered, Meehan said. “There will still be a lot of cars in town [and] there will still be some noise,” he said. With a multitude of new approaches in play, Meehan said a post-event review meeting is scheduled. “As we get through the first Cruisin’ event, we’ll be able to find out what worked and what we need to tweak,” he said. Council President Lloyd Martin noted the importance of continuing to seek improvements. “It’s not a one-time shot; it’s something we can always continue to make better,” he said. Most importantly, Meehan said, city officials want to be sure residents know about the temporary changes and don’t get caught speeding. “They’ll have to comply as well,” he said. “It might slow some of us down a little bit, but in the long run, hopefully, it will be better for everybody.”

Parking task force criticized prior to launch Yet-to-be-formed group will look at feasibility of adding paid spaces up to 33rd St.
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) After voting last week to form a parking task force to examine the feasibility of instituting metered parking from 11th to 33rd streets oceanside, the City Council received quick criticism during its meeting on Monday. During a fiscal year 2019 budget final review on May 1, the council voted 6-0, with Councilman John Gehrig absent, to form a group to study the matter in greater detail and report back by the end of the year. Councilman Tony DeLuca said, while making a motion to create a parking task force last Tuesday, the task force approach has proved fruitful on other fronts. “It’s been successful with the special event zones and the Boardwalk,” he said. At that time, Councilwoman Mary Knight said although potential changes would not be implemented earlier than next tourism season, ini-
tial estimates from City Engineer said. Terry McGean indicate the roughly While prior efforts also involved a 20-block stretch could generate a limited number of streets, Gisriel said substantial sum. the concern five years ago was that it “Right now I think it’s conserva- would set a precedent. tively $578,000 in revenue, which is “Once it got established, it was the a lot of money,” she said. beginning of more to come,” he said.

“The mistake I made in 2013 … I didn’t think about a parking permit in the area you live in, not a citywide one,” she said. In the interim, Knight said she researched how other tourist areas, like Fenwick Island and Annapolis, have expanded paid parking. “I think we would be irresponsible not to look at it again,” she said. “It’s about $600,000 and that’s with giving people parking permits in those areas.” Councilmen Matt James and Wayne Hartman said they might support the changes based on the inclusion of low-cost resident parking permits. “I would like to hear what the task force has to say and what recommendations they could make,” James said. Councilman Dennis Dare said although the fiscal 2019 budget is nearly completed and balanced, next year’s financial package would prove more difficult to reconcile. “We need to look at additional revenue as opposed to reductions of services in town,” he said. “There are so many competing needs that we need to look at everything.”

Twin petitions fight offshore wind Federal response requires 99,000+ signatures; just under 1,200 gathered now
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) With both online petitions seeking to push offshore wind turbines 26 miles off the coast gathering fewer than 1,200 signatures, the “sleeping giant” resort Mayor Rick Meehan referenced in promoting the petitions still appears to be snoozing away. “It’s time to awaken the sleeping giant and let the concerns of our residents and property owners be heard!” Meehan said in a post pinned to the top of his Facebook feed since April 19 reads. “If you want green, unseen energy, please take a moment and sign the petitions below.” Meehan and councilmembers Dennis Dare, Mary Knight and Tony DeLuca promoted the petitions on their social media pages. The resort has been fighting the installation of wind turbines located at the north and south ends of Ocean City in federal waters approved for the use by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Public Service Commission. Measures to push the turbines far-
ther offshore failed in Annapolis during this year’s session, and an amendment to halt the project added to the annual federal appropriations bill offered by Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) was scrubbed before it was adopted. The mayor and council’s concern is the structures will affect the ocean views and, they believe, that will lead to a decline in property values.
‘It’s time to awaken the sleeping giant and let the concerns of our residents and property owners be heard!.’ Mayor Rick Meehan The first petition was filed via petitions.whitehouse.gov, an Obama-era service allowing people to petition the federal government or force it to take a position or explain a policy or issue, should it reach the required number of signatures within a certain period. The petition must reach 100,000 signatures within 30 days to prompt a response. However, according to published reports, 16 petitions have done so during the Trump administration without a response. As of press time, according to the website, the petition has garnered 531 signatures, and will need another
HARBOUR DRIVE, OCEAN CITY MD
99,469 today to warrant a federal response on the issue. The other petition, appearing on the Clinton-era moveon.org, has 643 signatures as of press time. There is no threshold for response, as the signed petitions are emailed to those who are listed by the founding group as recipients. Included in the recipients are President Donald Trump, Gov. Larry Hogan, the U.S. House of Representatives, The U.S. Senate, the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland State Senate. It is unclear who exactly started the petitions, or if some have signed both petitions. Each petition asks to have the leasing areas where turbines could be located moved 26 nautical miles offshore. For U.S. Wind at least, this rule would be fatal to the project, since 26 miles away is outside of the leasing area as determined by the federal government. In the meantime, Rep. Harris reported this week that the Coast Guard came out against the turbines in 2013 and told the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management that they would “result in unacceptable increases in risk to navigational safety.” The BOEM overrode the Coast Guard’s objections.

County grants to towns up, but fire/EMS money down
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) While Ocean City didn’t get everything it asked for in its fiscal 2019 budget request, it did end up getting close to what it did last year from the county, as the Worcester County Commissioners evaluated the spending plan in total for the first time in public this week. On the plus side, the county increased the resort’s unrestricted grant by more than $121,000, or five percent, which is more than 10 times what the other municipalities in Worcester are set to receive. The county did not agree, however, to pay the $300,000 cost of adding bollards, short sturdy posts often made of concrete, to the Boardwalk to prevent unauthorized vehicle access. Commissioner Jim Bunting made the motion to remove the funding, though Ocean City Commissioner Joe Mitrecic objected. “I’d like to caution that for some reason something happened on a busy night, and I hate putting it out there, but the damage to the town and county wouldn’t be close to $300,000,” he said. The vote was 5-2, with Mitrecic and commissioner Bud Church against. The county also kept its tourism marketing budget level in fiscal year 2019, without the $100,000 in additional funding the city requested. With the loss of the bollard funding, Ocean City is set to receive a bit less than it did last year, with a total of about $21.9 million of the $22.4 million it requested. Funding was about $22 million last year. Ocean Pines asked for about $1.44 million, and received about $1.26 million, which is about what it got last year. Police funding was increased by about $10,000, while all other areas remained on par with last year. The same held true for Berlin, which did see an increase in its unrestricted grant of $10,000, while all
other funding areas remained about the same. It had asked for a total of $2.078 million, and it received $2.088 million, according to the plan. Snow Hill requested a total of $1.884 million, but will receive about $1.63 million according to the current budget. Most of that increase was because of a request to have the county pave Coulbourne Road, which used to be a county road. This sparked a long discussion between the commissioners about the county accepting responsibility for funding infrastructure projects. In the end, the commissioners agreed, by a 4-3 vote, to fund half the project’s projected cost of almost $127,000. Commissioners Diana Purnell, Ted Elder, Joe Mitrecic and Bud Church voted for the measure. The opposite held true for Pocomoke City, which like Snow Hill requested help with its own infrastructure project — replacing water lines that had been supplying residents of the Pocomoke Heights area with dirty, foul smelling water for decades. The town had asked for $55,000 toward the project, but lost the vote to zero out the funding on a motion from Bunting 4-3, with Commissioners Merrill Lockfaw, Mitrecic and Church opposed. In total, the town is expected to get about $1.63 million from the county. The primary area of concern for the commissioners during the discussions was the flat or even shrinking values of county and state fire grants to provide emergency services. The formula used to determine how much each company should get is based on the volume of runs the department makes, while their costs for equipment and supplies are either fixed or growing. The county is considering granting each fire company an additional $4,000 to offset the meager gains or small losses provided for in the current budget.
Police patrol Montego Bay, Caine Woods for speeders
(May 11, 2018) After receiving complaints from residents, Ocean City police recently conducted traffic details in the Montego Bay and Caine Woods neighborhoods to address speeding and other traffic violations. On several dates in April, officers focused on the side streets where residents are affected by traffic issues the most – near their homes. Police made several traffic stops resulting in citations and warnings. “The quality of life of our residents is directly affected by what occurs on
their street,” said Capt. Mike Colbert, commander of the Ocean City Police Department Patrol Division. “By enforcing traffic on our residential streets, we can slow drivers down and make the neighborhoods safer for everyone.” Citizens are reminded to follow speed limits on all city streets and drive safely, particularly in residential neighborhoods. Most residential streets in Ocean City have a speed limit of 25 mph. Officers will continue to conduct traffic details to encourage drivers to follow the posted speed limits.

County staff solves shortfall, presents balanced budget By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Worcester County’s budget committee of County Administrator Harold Higgins, Budget Manager Kathy Whited, and Treasurer Phil Thompson on Tuesday presented the county commissioners with a budget that covered a $9 million shortfall, increased wages for county employees and didn’t raise property taxes. Having managed that, the county’s financial planners achieved the three goals the administration and staff established at the start of this year’s budget season. The commissioners, their Tuesday work session, made additional changes to the document, and are expected to adopt the fiscal year 2019 budget on June 5. Higgins said two concerns cropped up as the committee was evaluating the budget: aging capital equipment, such as vehicles, and nuisance problems, like discarded trash along county roads. The commissioners did take some steps toward addressing these issues by buying additional equipment and approving the hire of two additional workers in the roads division. Even so, revenues of approximately $190 million and expenses of $189.99

million left little breathing room. One idea the commissioners endorsed was to end certain services provided at the Isle of Wight office, which is shared by the health, development review and permitting, environmental programs and treasurer divisions. Commissioner Ted Elder proposed and the other commissioners agreed to end the services of all but the health and treasurer’s departments starting with the next fiscal year. The other services are to be relocated to Snow Hill. The Board of Education also did well, with a preliminary appropriation of about $107 million based on a request of about $108.3 million. Teacher salary steps, and a cost-of-living adjustment of one percent for those beyond the steps, were included, as were funds to revamp the athletic field at Stephen Decatur High School. Funding for new elementary school books as well as high school band uniforms were also approved. A new position at the Board of Education, safety coordinator, will oversee security at all of the county schools was approved. If necessary, the commissioners will hold an additional budget work session on May 22 in Snow Hill.
Commissioner Elder likens nonprofits to stray animals
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) While a couple of Worcester County Commissioners said they would rather not spend any money at all on nonprofit or charitable organizations, they’ll have to be content with providing the lowest level of funding in the past three years. In fiscal 2017, the county provided $95,000 to a mixture of causes, and the year-to-date spending, according to proposed expenditure reports used in formulating the fiscal 2019 budget, is $105,500. This week during its budget work session, the commissioners took the expenditure recommendation of county staff to spend $85,000 and cut another $30,000 from it. Commissioner Vice President Ted Elder likened the nonprofits seeking county support to homeless animals. “They’re all worthy causes, but it’s like feeding stray cats. Pretty soon you’re feeding all of them and they keep coming back,” he said. Commissioner Jim Bunting agreed, and said he would support Worcester County adopting the policy of Wicomico County and not providing any funding at all to nonprofit or charitable organizations. “It’s not charity. Pocomoke pays taxes, and we neglect Pocomoke in a lot of different ways,” Commissioner Presi-
dent Diana Purnell said. Purnell lambasted the board for haggling over $10,000 for lights for use by Pocomoke Little League after appropriating $500,000 for an athletic field for Stephen Decatur High School. “What is $10,000 compared to $500,000 in the north end? This is not charity we’re doing here,” she said. Pocomoke ended up coming out ahead in this instance, as the Little League got half its requested $20,000, the Mar-Va Theater got the $15,000 it was seeking, and the Delmarva Discovery Center got half of its request — $20,000. Furnacetown, outside of Snow Hill, got $10,000 of its $40,000 request, finishing off the only organizations to get county funds in the proposed FY19 budget. Left out were the Art League of Ocean City, the Girdletree Foundation and the Lower Eastern Shore Heritage Council. The resort’s Ocean City Development Corporation did get funding other another section heading in the document. “We’re going to need to mobilize a little bit,” Rina Thaler, executive director for the Ocean City Art League, said. “I think it’s short sighted. It’s not about charity, but creating a better community. The government is there to provide services to make the community more livable for everyone.”

Sunny skies brings 137,570 people to annual Springfest By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) Souring temperatures and mostly blue skies helped boost attendance of last week’s Springfest, which outpaced the event’s 2017 turnout by more than 30,000 people. The total attendance during the fourday event was 137,570, up from last year’s turnout of 106,334, said Frank Miller, Ocean City’s Special Events superintendent. “Overall, it went very smooth and we had a huge influx of people,” Miller said. “We had the best Sunfest weather at Springfest. The warm temperatures pulled people out of the cities and suburbs and to the beach for the day. Although the sun was baking down, we had a wonderful breeze coming off the ocean that cooled us down a couple of degrees.” The festival had more than 200 craft booth vendors from across the country selling a variety of creations, more than 30 food concessions and a lineup of live entertainment under large tents in the inlet parking lot. “The spike we saw in attendance, we don’t expect to see again unless the weather is perfect again,” Miller said. “We are happy Springfest was exposed to a new group of patrons who came down for the beach, checked out Springfest and may not have seen it otherwise.”
The slowest day at Springfest was last Thursday, its opening day, when 16,849 people checked out the event. Under the big top, 991 fans caught Satisfaction: The International Rolling Stones Show in the evening. On Friday, 37,333 people came out to the festival, and country music star Trace Adkins played to a sold-out show of 1,795 concertgoers. “This was the big visual difference day of the weekend where we were seeing Sunfest-like numbers and it was the start of people coming to town,” Miller said. Saturday was the big day, however, when 59,411 people toured the tents and outdoor concessions. “This was another big day and a lot of people who came to Springfest were day travelers,” Miller said. A soldout show of 1,776 concertgoers attended rock star Bret Michaels concert Saturday night. Springfest wrapped up strong on Sunday with an attendance of 23,977 for closing day. Because of the unusually excellent weather for this time of year, it remains to be seen whether this increase in attendance will hold. “We will find out if this year was valuable [for future attendance numbers] in the next two to three years,” Miller said.

Charges in fatal hit and run
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) A Berlin man on Thursday was taken into police custody and charged in connection with a fatal hit and run that occurred Sunday near Berlin. Interim States Attorney Bill McDermott said Thursday afternoon that Jonathan Torin Kidder, 59, of Berlin, was charged with DUI homicide, DWI homicide, DUI, DWI, and negligent driving stemming from an incident that claimed the life of Eduardo Madrid, 38, of Berlin. According to the Maryland State Police, a car collided with a bicycle near Route 589 and Gum Point Road on Sunday. Troopers from the Berlin barrack responded shortly after 10 p.m. and the bicyclist, identified as Madrid, was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where he
was pronounced dead. Investigators said the driver of the car, Kidder, fled the scene. McDermott said Kidder turned himself into police on Thursday. According to McDerJonathan Kidder mott, he successfully asked the district court commissioner to hold kidder without bond. A hearing was scheduled for today, Friday. State police said investigative assistance was provided by local agencies including the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Ocean City Police Department, Delaware State Police, Berlin Fire Department, and Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration.
Hall pleads guilty to felonies
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Former Berlin councilwoman and mayoral candidate Lisa Hall pleaded guilty to felony theft between $1,000 and $10,000 and felony issuance of a bad check before Judge Newton Jackson in Circuit Court on Tuesday, according to Interim State’s Attorney Bill McDermott. Sentencing was delayed until a pre-sentencing investigation is complete. Hall has another court date scheduled in June, according to public records. In total, Hall faced seven felony charges and four misdemeanors stemming from a course of conduct associated with her former business, the Berlin Butcher Shop. Hall ran into issues with her supplier, C&C Meat Sales out of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, around this time last year, according to court documents. According to the complaint, C&C Meat Sales Inc. made two deliveries on April 27 and May 27, 2017 valued at $2,836.91 and $2,415.46 and were both paid for with bad checks, apparently signed by Hall. From this complaint came four felony charges of passing bad checks and two felony theft
charges, of which Hall pleaded guilty to one charge for the bad checks. Apparently cut off from her supplier, Hall made a different choice to stock her inventory at the Berlin Butcher Shop. Hall admitted to stealing more than $1,000, but less than $10,000 worth of meat from the Acme in Ocean City. Last August, Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters confirmed Hall was being investigated by the Ocean City Police Department for attempting to walk away with about $3,000 worth of assorted meats. An incident report provided by the Ocean City Police Department at the time listed Hall as the suspect in a theft from the Acme grocery store at the 9500 block of Coastal Highway. According to the summary, police were sent to the Acme at about 1:38 p.m. on Aug. 19, 2017 to investigate. Employees at the Acme said a woman placed a meat order and did not pay for it. The person apparently placed a large order the day before, and didn’t pay for it either. Police said they discovered the suspect placed another large order at another store and failed to pay. The Berlin Butcher Shop closed shortly thereafter. Hall sold her house in Berlin in December.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) As evidenced during the Sheriff’s Office budget presentation last month by Chief Deputy Doug Dods and comments made Tuesday by County Administrator Harold Higgins tensions between Sheriff Reggie Mason and the commissioners are at an all-time high. “The sheriff is an elected state official, and this is a budget process,” Higgins said during the county commissioners’ budget evaluation session. “We can ask for transactions and details on underlying expenditures,” Higgins said. “We’ve not had the best relationship with the sheriff, and we’re using our ability to go into detail and question.” Mason is retiring at the end of this term, on Jan. 1, 2019. His replacement, however, will be de facto elected during the June 26 primary, as only Republican candidates have filed for office. The new sheriff will have to abide by the budget Dods said he and two other deputies developed. The office asked for five new deputies, a request that the commissioners trimmed to two deputies and one school resource officer. The department also requested new vehicles, option packages for those vehicles to outfit them to serve as law enforcement cruisers, uniforms and equipment for those new deputies. The commissioners asked Budget Manager Kathy Whited for a dollar total from the revisions, but she said she would need time to produce the figure. Along with the vehicles, the department also requested that all of the new Chevy Tahoes be 4x4, instead of 4x2. “Because of one snowstorm?” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic wondered. “I have a problem with Tahoes See HIRING Page 23

Hiring, vehicles, equipment all questioned by Worcester Continued from Page 22 anyway, but asking for them all to be 4x4 adds insult to injury.” Commissioner Bud Church said he thought the request was reasonable. “State Police are still buying Impalas and have to wear everything the Sheriff’s deputies do,” Mitrecic said. The commissioners approved purchasing the nine new vehicles, with five being 4x4s, the rest will be standard 4x2s. Also in the matter of vehicles, the commissioners and Higgins briefly discussed discovering the Sheriff’s Office has purchased a motorcycle using seized drug funds, yet didn’t advise the county of the purchase, even though Worcester would have to maintain it. “It’s almost like the sheriff’s slush fund,” Mitrecic said. “We need Maureen [Howarth, county attorney] to look into this and get a better handle on it. Hopefully the new sheriff will be more understanding of our concerns.” The Sheriff’s Office has begun to provide accounting for purchases using civil forfeiture funds, and a year-end report is expected by the start of the next fiscal year on July 1,
or shortly thereafter. Vehicles weren’t the only concerns, as commissioner Ted Elder had a problem with adding too many new personnel. “We keep hiring and hiring and hiring and I see we have problems with [retirement funding] and we keep adding problems. The sheriff has 120 people under him, unless there’s some kind of invasion I don’t think he needs more. The overtime is certainly out of sight,” he said. According to last year’s adopted budget, the sheriff oversees 99.4 fulltime equivalent positions from deputies, to support staff, court bailiffs and the animal control department. Dods requested to increase that to 104.7 in this budget. Also during the presentation last month, Dods asked to more than double the overtime line item in the budget to $553,220 to reflect the actual spending more accurately, rather than the $256,000 that had been budgeted. Last year, the office spent more than $500,000 on overtime. This year, the budgeted amount increased from about $256,000 to about $321,000 — but the department spent more than that in fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Undercover buy
Bottle assault
Brent Samuel White, 36, of Ocean City is facing 14 counts, including eight felony charges, for distribution of heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone, after allegedly conducting multiple drug sales with undercover detectives in April. On April 26, according to the police report, undercover agents bought five 80-milligram oxycodone pills for $150 from White in the downtown area. Police said the detectives asked White for more oxycodone on April 30, but he instead offered heroin because of supply issues. At that time, White allegedly sold undercover detectives five bags of a heroin mixed with fentanyl for $35, and promised better pricing for a “bun,” or bundle, typically 10-13 bags, of the heroin mixture, which runs between $50-60. Police reportedly set up a third drug purchase with White on May 1, who allegedly sold undercover agents a “bun,” of heroin mixed with fentanyl and two 80-milligram oxycodone pills for $120. White was arrested the following day near Baltimore Avenue and Dorchester Streets and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 1 in Worcester County District Court in Snow Hill.
Christopher Joseph Collas, 25, of Newark, Delaware was arrested for first- and second-degree assault on Saturday just after 1:50 a.m. in the 700 block of Philadelphia Ave. Police responding to a reported assault found a man who was bleeding from a deep cut on the back of his head. According to the police report, witnesses pointed out the alleged antagonist, later identified as Collas, who reportedly threw a glass bottle at the victim. Police said the man struck by the bottle had not lost consciousness but was feeling “woozy.” Police said the victim claimed to be singing with friends inside an eating establishment, when another group of men, including Collas, became agitated by the sounds. After the groups exchanged words, the victim said his friends attempted to leave but the situation escalated when the other men followed them while yelling profanities. Police said a second member of the victim’s group verified the incident.
Wrong place Brent Ashley Holland, 35, of Ocean City was arrested for misdemeanor possession of heroin on May 2 at about 3 p.m. in the area of Dorchester Street and Baltimore Avenue. Police said they saw Holland leaving a residence they were about to serve a search warrant on and, on being questioned, admitted to having heroin and related paraphernalia.
Bumming papers David Alan Parker, 51, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was arrested for trespassing in the 800 block of South Baltimore Ave. last Friday just after 3:30 p.m. Police responded for reports of a disorderly male, later identified as Parker, who was bothering hotel guests. According to the police report, the hotel manager alleged Parker, who was not a guest, was bothering guests by asking for rolling papers. When police asked Parker to leave, he allegedly claimed to be waiting for the return of a friend whose vehicle was in the parking lot. After being directed to leave, police reportedly observed Parker return to his friend’s vehicle and placed him under arrest as the truck was backing out of a parking space.
Theft deportation Jose Humberto Fuentes Guzman, 20, of Fairfax, Virginia was arrested last Friday for stealing a car from Fairfax, Virginia, and was one of three undocumented aliens inside the car, early last Friday downtown. Police were alerted to the presence of a 2103 black Dodge Charger by a license plate reader after it entered Ocean City on Route 50 and Philadelphia Avenue. When police found the vehicle, the driver who was at the wheel when the car entered the city was identified as Guzman, who reportedly gave a false identity initially. After following up with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, police discovered Guzman, who was wearing an immigration ankle GPS bracelet, was the subject of an active deportation case. Officers reportedly found two other subjects inside the car, Axel Faustino Vasquez-Cabrera, 19, of Hyattsville and Maria Lidia Vasquez-Carranza, 18, of Annandale, Virginia. Both were also found to be undocumented aliens subject to detainment by immigration authorities. The final occupant was Sandra Marinely Rivera Barahona, 20, of Alexandria, Virginia who was arrested for possession of more than 10 grams of cannabis. The vehicle had been reported stolen on May 1.

Several hundred people attended the Ocean City Downtown Association’s annual White Marlin Festival last year on the Somerset Street Plaza, which featured music and organizations exhibiting displays. The highlight of the event was the Crab Soup Cookoff.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) Ten local restaurants are slated to participate in the Ocean City Downtown Association’s 15th annual Crab Soup Cookoff, this Saturday on Somerset Street Plaza in downtown Ocean City. “This event is one of the first of the season that brings out the locals, tourists and families from all over the Delmarva area to taste the different types of crab soups, listen to great music by One Night Stand and be able to run into friends that have not seen each other through the offseason,” said Lisa Aydelotte, Ocean City Downtown Association event coordinator. Check out the White Marlin Festival from noon to 3 p.m., which is free to attend, featuring booths from each restaurant in addition to a number of vendors selling original art, infinity designs, jewelry, handcrafted bags, and hats and blankets embroidered with crabs. There will also be a craft table for children to paint or color crabs and face painting by Sally Ann. “This year is going to be a lot different due to having vendors that you can purchase items from,” Aydelotte

Who knows, the cure may be in the test tube that donors from the Relay For Life of North Worcester County fund.” The 2018 North Worcester County Relay For Life is an all-night walk kicking off at 6 p.m. to celebrate survivors beating cancer, remember loved ones who lost their battle and offer support for people who are currently fighting the disease. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Oceans of Hope.” “Join us hand-in-hand with our toes in the sand for Oceans of Hope,’” Hodge said. “Participants will decorate their campsite with beach or under-the-seathemed decor and incorporate them in their onsite fundraisers and mission messages.” Each team will have its own campsite with water and electricity, courtesy of Frontier Town. Individuals and teams can register at the event starting at 4 p.m., and there is no fee to participate. This year, more than 300 participants are expected to attend. Relay For Life will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and continue until midnight on Saturday. The goal for 2018 is to have more than 100 survivors in attendance and to generate $205,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $50,170 had been raised as of Monday morning, Hodge said. “We are seeing lots of the same people sign up because we have become one great big Relay family,” Hodge said. “We are thrilled to see new additions each year. Getting the word out in the community earlier and through lots of new venues we are seeing an increase in new members to our family for 2018.” Participants have until Aug. 31 to submit their final donations.

Winners will receive a plaque to display in their restaurants, created by Steel N Glory, and bragging rights until next year. Red and white soup categories will have a first-, second- and third-place winner. The red and white soup winners will also take home a cash award, Aydelotte said. About 700 people attended the Crab Soup Cookoff in September, which was rescheduled from May because of bad weather. The event grows in popularity every year and organizers expect a huge turnout on
Saturday. “We will be having several students from Stephen Decatur High School along with members of the Downtown Association that will give up three hours on a Saturday to help out this wonderful event,” Aydelotte said. Events sponsored by the Ocean City Downtown Association will benefit from funds raised during the Crab Soup Cookoff, including a downtown light display during Christmastime and the information center on the Boardwalk. “Thank you to Mayor Rick Meehan, Bill Purnell, the city council and the Town of Ocean City for always giving us the opportunity to grow in our amazing town,” Aydelotte said.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) The third annual Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run and walk will take place on the Boardwalk this Saturday. “Participants and supporters will get free information about prevention and identification of tick-related illnesses,” said organizer Angela Burke. “Ocean City’s Boardwalk is the best place on the planet to run or walk in a 5K. The gorgeous view and moderate temperatures are unmatched.” The event was cancelled in 2017 because of a storm and organizers expect a decent crowd this year with forecasts “expected to be absolutely spectacular for a morning run or walk by the ocean.” A couple hundred people participated in the inaugural event in 2016. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. where interested runners and walkers can sign up for $35, which includes a race bib for timing, Lyme disease prevention information, and a post-race party at the Cork Bar on Wicomico Street. In addition, the first 200 participants will also receive a long sleeve commemorative T-shirt. “Besides a 5K run and walk you can enjoy all the shopping, food and games on the Boardwalk after the event,” Burke said. “May is a wonderful time to be on Ocean City’s Boardwalk.” The race will begin at 9 a.m. at the inlet parking lot, where participants
will head north on the Boardwalk and turn around between 15th and 16th streets before returning to the finish line at the inlet. There will be an awards ceremony immediately following the race with cash prizes going to the fastest male and female. A number of age-group winners will also receive medals. A post-race party will take place at the Cork Bar with silent and Chinese auction items. In 2016, Burke formed the nonprofit organization, “Fight the Bite,” which raises awareness through a website and collects funds to utilize billboards in the area. “This event is special in that all proceeds benefit ‘Fight the Bite,’ a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to educating the public about preventing tick-related illnesses,” Burke said. “We work closely with the Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva, which provides support groups and educational materials to the community.” Money raised during the event helped to rent ad space on the Ocean City transit system, which provides prevention information, Burke said. “We are very motivated to get the word out about protecting yourself, your children and pets from tick bites,” she said.

Relay for Life ACS fundraiser
HOROSCOPE ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
Continued from Page 26 During the six-hour fundraiser, team members will take turns walking laps and organizers strive for each team to have at least one member taking a lap throughout the night. In 2017, 40 teams and more than 300 registered participants attended Relay For Life, helping to raise about $192,194 for the organization. Throughout the past 21 years, North Worcester County’s Relay has donated more than $1.2 million to the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life’s 2018 opening ceremony kicks off at 6 p.m. Cancer survivors will walk the ceremonial first lap of the night, the “Survivors Lap,” while they are cheered on by other participants in celebration of their victory over cancer. “This year we engaged kids from the high schools and middle schools to plan the event activities and laps,” Hodge said. “A lot of fun and exciting laps and activities came out of this group. They include a sea horse race to represent our patient service road to recovery. Pin-thetentacle on the octopus to represent the support of caregivers to survivors through the cancer journey.” In addition, an underwear over there lap was designed to raise awareness of prostate, cervical/uterine and breast cancers. An abundance of children’s activities will be available in the center of the track including badminton, volleyball, capture the flag and an obstacle course. There will also be a scavenger hunt and bingo. Psalm 66 Band will play music during the opening ceremony with DJ Brian K. Hall from Classic Rock- the Vault 103.5 and 106.1 spinning the tunes all night long before a special guest performance from the Undateables kicks off at 10 p.m. The Luminaria Ceremony of Remembrance begins at 7:45 p.m. in honor and remembrance of a loved one or

friend who has been touched by cancer, Hodge said. A heartfelt candle-lighting ceremony takes place at dusk with a suggested donation of $10 a bag and $25 a tiki torch or lantern, which can be purchased at the event from 4-7:30 p.m. “The Luminaria ceremony is one of the key moments of a Relay for Life,” Hodge said. “It has a triple symbolic purpose: to commemorate the people who have passed as a result of cancer, give hope and support to those suffering from cancer and celebrate people who have overcome the disease. Anyone can make a $10 donation toward a candle and place it in a luminary bag on which a name, a wish, a message can be written.” Prior to closing ceremonies slated for midnight, a “S’more Hope” bonfire is designed to leave attendees with a hopeful outlook on the fight against cancer, Hodge said.

Todds visit villages off coast of Panama on mission trip By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) William Todd, a physician at Atlantic General Hospital and Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and his son, Will, an 11th grader at Worcester Prep, went on their first mission trip to impoverished villages off the coast of Panama in March to provide free medical services for those in need. “About 75 percent of the world struggles as opposed to western civilization,” William Todd said. “Seeing the culture in a third world country gives you an appreciation for what we take for granted.” Todd, who specializes in emergency medicine, did ultrasounds, prescribed medication for a number of
ailments including worms, and taught a health education class. He saw about 250 patients over three days. “We went by boat to the villages, set up our gear and opened up a clinic for three days to see people from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” Will Todd said. “It was definitely a humbling experience and it gave me a new understanding of different cultures.” Todd, 17, said his father saw a flyer about the mission trip at work and thought it would be a good opportunity for the both of them. “You don’t have to be a physician to participate,” William Todd said. “Medical mission trips need volunteers and the service to others is selfrewarding. It is personally satisfying to help those in need.”

Annual Ride for the Feast kicks off in Ocean City, Sat.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) About 200 cyclists will take the 140-mile journey from Ocean City to Baltimore City this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 12-13. The 16th annual event is the largest fundraiser for Moveable Feast, a nonprofit organization that provides meals for people living with HIV, AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening conditions. “The ride is symbolic – each rider agrees to raise a minimum of $1,500, which is equivalent to the cost for Moveable Feast to feed one client for an entire year,” said Samantha Flottemesch, the director of development for Moveable Feast. “The 140 miles symbolizes the furthest distance we go to deliver to a client.” On Saturday morning, riders will start from the Ocean City Boardwalk on 24th Street and head 100 miles across the backroads of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, with a rest stop at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, before ending the day at Talbot County Community Center in Easton. The second part of the journey begins on Sunday morning with riders taking a bus over the Bay Bridge. The
40-mile trek starts from Broadneck Park in Annapolis, heads along the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail and includes the Baltimore-Washington International Trail before they arrive in Baltimore City. Riders will finish at the Maryland Science Center, located in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, and wait for all participants to arrive. After a group photo is taken around 3 p.m., participants will leave as a group and cycle across Baltimore City to Moveable Feast headquarters in East Baltimore for a volunteer awards luncheon. Participants range in age from 12 to 65 years old and many have lost friends or family to HIV, AIDS or cancer. Since its inception, Ride for the Feast has generated more than $5.7 million for services to Moveable Feast clients. “We have an extraordinary group of cyclists, volunteers and donors who come together to support Moveable Feast through this event,” Flottemesch said. Last year, 200 riders helped raise $787,281 during the event. The goal is to raise $800,000 in 2018. Each of the 200 participants this year has pledged to raise a minimum of $1,500, which is the cost for Move-

able Feast to feed one client for an entire year with nutritious meals. In addition, there will be motorcycle safety escort volunteers helping throughout the route. “Not only have the riders agreed to ride 140 miles over two days, but the volunteers also commit to spending the entire weekend supporting these folks,” Flottemesch said. Every dollar raised during the event will directly benefit Moveable Feast clients impacted by a lifethreatening disease who cannot afford, access or prepare medically appropriate meals for themselves. Sponsors are responsible for covering all expenses associated with the ride to make sure all funds generated go directly to helping local clients in Maryland. “This wouldn’t be possible without
our amazing donors,” Flottemesch said. “We cannot thank all of these folks enough for their unfailing support of Moveable Feast and the work we’re doing across the state of Maryland.” Ride for Feast originally started in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The route was changed to Ocean City in its 10th year. Ocean City is the furthest distance Moveable Feast serves from its commercial kitchen in Baltimore. Employees travel through all towns on the Eastern Shore, Annapolis and the southwest part of Baltimore. In 2017, Moveable Feast served more than 5,000 people and delivered more than 800,000 meals including 45,000 bags of produce to clients, Flottemesch said. See EVENT Page 32

Inaugural Reggae Playday in Berlin, May 11
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Ocean 98/Seacrets Irie Radio will host the first Reggae Playday in downtown Berlin Friday from 5-9 p.m. The event is an evolution of May Day Playday, an annual outdoor music festival offering free, familyfriendly entertainment. Organizer Tom Sholtis, also known on air as Big Al Reno, said the change in branding grew from a brainstorming session at the radio station. “I’m not sure exactly whose idea it was, but we thought it would be great to do something different,” he said. “This was our seventh or eighth year and we wanted to change it up.” Sets by 9 Mile Roots and Zion Reggae Band are scheduled on an outdoor stage at the north end of Main Street, and Ocean 98 deejays Stevie Jay and Magellan plan to emcee and conduct bingo contests between sets. “Some of the prizes are four passes to Shorebirds games in the first row behind home plate, we’ve got Jolly Roger passes, Splash Mountain passes, golf at Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe and Ocean City Golf, and we have a pair of four-day passes for Firefly – which are about $700,” Sholtis said. He said longtime steel drum mas-
ter Kevin Martin would also contribute to the entertainment lineup. Martin, formerly of The Geckos, went to Trinidad about 20 years ago and learned how to build steel drums. Today, his Rockcreek Steel Drums company is one of the largest manufacturers of the instrument in the United States. “He came back [from Trinidad] and he built me one,” Sholtis said. “I said, ‘I can’t take that. You need to sell these!’ He said, ‘no, I made it for you and it’s here when you’re ready for it,’” Sholtis said. “Twenty-some years later, I’m finally going to learn how to play my drums.” Sholtis said Martin would bring between 30 and 50 drums and teach festivalgoers how to play. “All the notes inside the pan are labeled, so you don’t have to be intimidated. If you can follow AA, B, D, C, A … you’re playing a song,” Sholtis said. “He’s going to teach people how to play and he’s going to do some demonstrations. “I’m looking forward to finally getting my drum, and I’m going to learn with everybody else how to play an instrument – at 45 years old,” he added. Big Oyster Brewery is the headline sponsor, and its locally brewed craft beer will feature at an outdoor beer tent as well as at Fins Ale House and
Raw Bar on 119 North Main Street. Fins will also provide Jamaicanthemed food. “They stepped up to the plate, which is awesome,” Sholtis said. “It’s great to have people to support us, so we can do things like this. [9 Mile Roots] will be our biggest act yet that we’ve had, and I see them being the next SOJA.” Because Reggae Playday coincides with the monthly 2nd Friday art stroll, Sholtis said artists and artisans would be set up outdoors on Jefferson and Commerce streets during the event. Additionally, special event T-shirts will be sold and volunteers from the Berlin Chamber of Commerce will pour beer for sale. Sholtis said proceeds would help fund future town events. Reggae Playday is expected to draw several thousand people. Sholtis said the purpose of the event is to spread the “Irie” spirit, a Jamaican word that roughly translates to a feeling of peace and harmony. “In this time right now, where we’re at, there’s a lot of ugly,” he said. “We want everybody to just come together and have a good time, spread the love, and find the healing in music. “Music is a strong thing. It’s

helped me through some times and hopefully this will open some people’s eyes and say, ‘Let’s put all this aside and get along’ – and hopefully keep getting along,” Sholtis continued. “Come and stay ‘Irie.’” For more information, search “Ocean 98’s Reggae Playday” on Facebook.
Event supports Moveable Feast Continued from Page 31 Ride for the Feast was based on AIDS rides that occur across the country and a longtime supporter of Moveable Feast, David Andrews, started the event more than a decade ago. Moveable Feast has been the sole provider of free medically appropriate meals for people with life-threatening illnesses in Baltimore, the surrounding five counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland for close to three decades. Registration for the event closed a couple weeks ago, but donations to Moveable Feast can be made at any time by visiting its website at www.rideforthefeast.org or call 410327-3420 for more information.

Charity donates $2,400 for new water system at GSCHC
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) The 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore charity donated $2,400 to the Germantown School Community Heritage Center in Berlin, which will be used to replace the water system at the historic site. “I nominated the Germantown School Community Heritage Center because I know that 100+ Women Who Care want their contributions to make a big impact on their recipients’ organizations,” said Karen Prengaman, a 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore member, who nominated the school last month. “The Germantown School Community Heritage Center needed a new water system, but fulfilling that dream was beyond their reach.” The 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore organization held its second meeting of the year on April 24 at the West Ocean City Bottle Shop on Route 50. Twenty-four members heard presentations about the Lower Shore Land Trust, the Ocean City Elementary Backpack Program, and the Germantown School in Berlin. “I thought this would be a great way to show how much the community values both the history repre-
sented by GSCHC as well as the programs they offer to the community, programs that will, in the future, offer fresh, clean water,” Prengaman said. The Germantown School Community Heritage Center is a restored school house, which now serves as a historical and cultural community center. It has a unique exhibit of memorabilia designed to celebrate the African American history in Worcester County. The Germantown School was built in 1923 in an effort to improve the quality of public education for African Americans. The two-room school operated until the early 1960s for grades first through seventh. “It is now a gathering place for all people, of all ages,” said Barbara Purnell, president of the Germantown School Community Heritage Center. “We have many events here such as baby showers, senior meetings, dances and after-school events for children. We also have a small museum where original and replica items are displayed to celebrate the history of the Worcester County African American population.” Members of the 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore directly contribute $100 to three different charities each year, totaling $300.

are no administrative fees, and all donations are tax deductible. During the hour-long meetings, each woman in attendance fills out a nomination form with their favorite nonprofit charity from Worcester, Wicomico or Somerset counties. The submissions go into a basket and three potential winners are picked. “Those three women present their nominations by telling the group about why they are passionate about their charity and what great work the charity does for the community,” said Janelle Mulholland, co-founder of 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore with Susanna Eisenman and Anna Newton. After presentations, each member votes for their favorite choice and the charity with the most votes will receive checks from all 100+ Women
Who Care on the Shore members. “Charities can be nominated over and over again, but once a charity has been chosen, it cannot be nominated again for one year,” Mulholland said. “Charities must be 501(c)(3). The money must also stay on the shore to help our residents in Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties.” Since February 2017, the organization has raised $17,600 for local charities in five meetings, including the Stephen Decatur High School Band Boosters, the CRICKET Center, Women Supporting Women, Atlantic General Hospital’s new community garden, and the Germantown School. “I first heard of the organization while visiting my mother in Iowa,” Mulholland said. “Her friends started their own chapter and I loved the idea See FINAL Page 36

International Museum Day Pine’eer Craft celebrated with Open House Club highlights (May 11, 2018) The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum will hold an Open House in recognition of International Museum Day on Friday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This free event will celebrate the 2018 International Museum Day theme: “Hyperconnected museums: New approaches, new publics.” Hyperconnectivity is a term invented in 2001 to define the multiple means of communication today, such as face-to-face contact, email, instant messaging, telephone or the internet. It is impossible to understand the role of museums without taking into account all the connections they make. They are an inherent part of their local communities, cultural landscape and natural environment.
Thanks to technology, museums can now reach beyond their core audience and find new publics when approaching their collections in a different way. On May 18, guests are encourage to take a picture of an exhibit or artifact that resonates with them, then share that picture on social media. “When visitors choose to post photos of the museum on social media they are widening the museum’s audience, and ultimately strengthening our mission,” said, Sandy Hurley, museum director. For information, call 410-2894991 or visit www.ocmuseum.org. The museum is located at 813 S. Atlantic Ave. on the south end of the Boardwalk.

Brown Box Theatre Project to present Broadway tunes
(May 11, 2018) Brown Box Theatre Project returns to Delmarva May 22-27 with “The Broadway Jukebox: A Musical Theatre Cabaret Event.” Following a sold-out run of “The Hotel Nepenthe” in March, Brown Box continues to bring a wide range of theatrical experiences to audiences all across the East Coast with this glittering showcase of Broadway’s finest compositions. With almost 30 Broadway songs to choose from, each performance of “The Broadway Jukebox” is unique, changing based on the selections made by that evening’s audience. Upon arrival, each audience member will vote for their top three choices from a series of different musical theatre categories, including “The Golden Age,” “Contemporary Musicals” and “Disney on Broadway.” Brown Box will curate each night’s show on the spot in this interactive, family-friendly evening, where actors will perform what the audience considers to be the best of Broadway. Guests should arrive no less than 15 minutes before showtime for their vote to be counted. “The Broadway Jukebox” is directed by Kyler Taustin, the artistic director and founder of Brown Box, who is thrilled to bring this celebration of mu-
sical theatre to Massachusetts as well as the Delmarva Peninsula. “Brown Box is dedicated to sharing a diverse array of theatre styles to a diverse array of people,” Taustin said. “The Broadway musical, as one of the most iconic forms of theatre, also happens to be the most expensive and geographically isolated. True to our mission, ‘The Broadway Jukebox’ brings a highlight reel of the best of Broadway directly into communities who crave it the most. Whether you are looking for a taste of the newest Broadway hit or a bit of nostalgia, this musical experience is for you.” “The Broadway Jukebox” will run Wednesday, May 23 at the Ocean City Performing Arts Center on 40th Street, and Thursday, May 24 at Blue Dog Cafe, 300 North Washington Street in Snow Hill. To reserve tickets, visit www.brownboxtheatre.org. Tickets cost $15. Shows begin at 8 p.m. Brown Box Theatre Project’s mission is to bring high-quality theatre to communities that otherwise lack access to the performing arts. The constant goal in all its programming is to bring down barriers that separate potential audiences from live theatre and to introduce the performing arts to the widest possible audience.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Art of making Italian meatballs Whether to add or not to add onion is another consideration. If one decides to add onion, what type of onion do you add? If you strive for perfection, them the next logical question is how should one cut the onions? Sweet onions are too mild and red onions can be overpowering. Yellow onions have good flavor which enhances the overall taste of the meatball. Chopped onions as opposed to minced onions also give the meatballs added texture. It is these subtleties that distinguish a good cook from a great cook. There is also the question of fillers, bread crumbs or bread that has been soaked with milk. Traditionalists prefer bread crumbs. They are premade which requires little fuss, but there are those who prefer using one-day-old bread and mixing it with either milk or buttermilk to form a paste. This method supposedly makes a lighter meatball but distributing the paste evenly throughout the meat mixture can be challenging. Meatballs are not the time to purchase inferior meat. The quality of the meat is imperative. A combination of pork, beef and veal is recommended. If you use only beef, chances are the meatballs will be a little tough. Some Italians swear that veal is the only way to go. The veal will yield a tender consis-
tency but will not have the flavor that pork can provide. When making burgers, one should handle the meat as little as possible, but there are exceptions to every rule. It takes time to incorporate all the ingredients into the meatballs. Do not be afraid to use your hands to mix. A few pounds of meat along with all the ingredients needs at least 3 minutes of hand mixing. It is important to roll each meatball the same size for even cooking. Gently roll and fry, do not bake. Dab a little olive oil on your hands so the meat does not stick, and then carefully form your meatballs. Pour the olive oil into a pan and turn the burner to medium to medium-high heat. Once the meatballs have obtained a sear on all sides, place the meatballs directly into the sauce. The meatballs will continual to cook and at the same time flavor your sauce. The sauce is just as important as the meatballs and you have several options depending on your personal preference. There is no question a fresh sauce is the best but it takes time and effort. Gourmet sauces are tasty but quite pricy. Good quality canned tomato sauce can be used as a base for your sauce and is a practical option. One key tip when making your sauce,

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 11, 2018) The philosophy of simplicity implies a concept of straightforwardness and an easiness to understand. On the other hand, complexity denotes intricacy, complexity and sophistication. But can an idea of basics and difficulty intertwine to a degree of common interests? Chef’s push the boundaries of possibilities and at the same time respect the fundamental rules that constitutes cooking. Meatballs seem uncomplicated. A combination of ground meat, bread crumbs, seasonings and a binder can be accomplished with little difficulty. However, there is a big difference between average meatballs and outstanding meatballs. This distinction and intricate details are crucial for success. With that in mind, let us review the art of making Italian meatballs. First and foremost, use the freshest, quality ingredients. This means whole garlic cloves instead of powdered or jarred garlic, fresh parsley verses dried parsley, and real Parmigiano Reggiano cheese as opposed to generic Parmesan cheese.
do not add sugar. Instead, add a few pinches of baking soda. Baking soda neutralizes the acid in the tomatoes. When you add it to the sauce, the baking soda will cause the sauce to foam. Only add a few pinches. If you add too much it will cause the sauce to have a bitter taste. When I make Italian meatballs, I always make a large barge batch and freeze them. This way, if I have unexpected company, I can easily make a pot of sauce and add the meatballs. Memorial Day is only a few weeks away and it can be chilly. If the weather does not cooperate and you have a large crowd to feed including children, make a big salad, doctor up a few frozen pizzas, and serve spaghetti and meatballs. Your guests will love the menu, appreciate your efforts, and gobble up your homemade balls of joy. Enjoy! * The recipe is based on 1-pound of meat. This way you can adjust it accordingly.

MCBP seeking volunteers for annual Terrapin Count (May 11, 2018) The Maryland Coastal Bays is looking for volunteers to participate in the annual Diamondback Terrapin Count from May 29 through June 2. The diamondback terrapin may be Maryland’s state reptile and the mascot for the University of Maryland, but its current population status in the Coastal Bays is poorly understood. In an effort to better understand its status, both organizations coordinate annual counts. Trained volunteers will conduct these surveys throughout the week of May 29 through June 2. Those interested in becoming a volunteer to conduct surveys, training classes will be held at the Maryland Coastal Bays Program office on Thursday, May 17 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and Wednesday, May 23 from 5:30-6:30 pm.

Don’t incorporate sugar into sauce
RSVP to Katherine Phillips at kphillips@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410213-2297 ext. 109 to attend. The class will take place at the Maryland Coastal Bays Program office, located at 8219 Stephen Decatur Highway in Berlin. The surveys will take place in the Coastal Bays including brackish-water creeks throughout the designated week. Counts take place both on water and on land. From motorboats to kayaks and SUPs, all are encouraged to participate. Terrapins are the only turtle occupying brackish water, but other turtles, such as snapping turtles, may venture into more brackish water, so it’s important to be trained to identify the correct species. Locations of surveys will depend on the number of crews that are available.

Rabbi Mills to join Temple Bat Yam
(May 11, 2018) Rabbi Estelle Gattman Mills will become the rabbi of Temple Bat Yam (TBY) beginning July 1. A statement from the Temple Board of Directors said it is both “pleased and honored” to make this announcement, which followed a national search conducted by a 12-member Search Committee, board approval of the committee’s recommendation, and a unanimous ratification of Rabbi Mills’ selection at a Special Congregational Meeting on April 26. “We are delighted that Rabbi Mills will be joining us and are very excited,” said TBY President Paul Schwab. Rabbi Mills received her honorary doctorate for 25 years of service as a rabbi in 2017. Most of those years were spent serving as the rabbi of Congregation Kol Chadash in the Cleveland suburb of Solon, and as the rabbi of Congregation Kol Am in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin. She has most recently served as the interim rabbi of Temple Beth Am in Parsippany, New Jersey.
TBY’s new rabbi has been recognized for her innovative and cutting edge programming. She was the recipient of the prestigious Legacy Heritage Innovator Grant and the Union for Reform Judaism has recognized her creative and innovative programming by awarding her an Incubator Grant for her Family Education Program: “Exciting Destinations, Jewish Explorations” and a Belin Award for her Membership Program: “No Regrets Membership.” Rabbi Mills will be relocating to the area from New Jersey. “I am thrilled to be Temple Bat Yam’s incoming rabbi and am very much looking forward to the exciting possibilities the future holds,” she said learning of the congregation’s final ratification of her selection. As part of the search process, Rabbi Mills visited TBY Feb. 23-25 and had an
opportunity to meet search committee members, its clergy, and some of its congregants. Current Rabbi Susan Warshaw will be retiring at the end of this June. As Schwab said, “Rabbi Warshaw has been an outstanding leader for TBY these past 10 years. She is well loved and we wish her and her husband, Richard, all the best in their upcoming retirement.” Temple Bat Yam is an inclusive Reform Jewish Congregation that serves Delmarva and is an affiliate member of the Union of Reform Judaism (URJ). Founded in 1989, the Temple moved into its current building in 1997 and is located minutes away from Ocean City beaches. Information about the many services and programs of TBY can be found on its web site at templebatyam-oc.org or by contacting TBY ay 410-641-4311.

Holistic Health Fair held in OP
(May 11, 2018) The Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department will debut its first Holistic Health Fair on Saturday, May 19 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Ocean Pines Community Center, located at 235 Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines. The idea for the free event, which is open to the public, was conceived by Brittany Jarman, a program supervisor with the department. It will feature local businesses that focus on holistic health practices for whole-self wellness. “I wanted the community to know about all of the different approaches to health care and healthy living that are not held in a doctor’s office,” Jarman said. “Holistic health is booming but there are still so many people who do not know about the benefits of a holistic health approach.” Attendees will be introduced to a variety of holistic health topics such as natural products, life coaching and floatation therapy. Vendors include Ocean Elements Salt Spa & Float Center, Lighthouse Acupuncture, Positive Energy, The Personal Wellness Center, Oasis Healing Center, Seas the Day OC, Essential Oils and more. Jarman is excited about spotlighting this growing sector of the local business community. “There are so many local small businesses that the community should know and learn about that could help with their daily living,” she said. Businesses interested in participating in the event should contact Jarman at 410-641-7052 or bjarman@oceanpines.org. Vendor spaces cost $20.

No one who needs hospice services is ever denied care by Coastal Hospice. Reservations are $75 and can be made at CoastalHospice.org or by calling 410-742-8732.
The event features a live Preakness broadcast on a big screen, heavy hors d’oeuvres by L.A. on Location, desserts by Candy Kitchen Shoppes, music by The Larks, plus race-day drinks like mint juleps, black-eyed Susans, as well as beer and wine. Celebrity bartenders from WBOC and WMDT will host the drink stations. This year’s Charter Society Anchor Award recipients are Dirk and Gayle Widdowson, who will be honored during the event. The award recognizes outstanding volunteers who have made a significant impact on Coastal Hospice. “The Widdowsons have made significant financial and personal contributions to Coastal Hospice over the years, showing immense generosity and support to our mission,” said Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen. “The couple has done tremendous work to garner

SURF REPORT
Catching some waves during Caribbean trip
By Dave Dalkiewicz Contributing Writer (May 11, 2018) It was a surf trip to the Caribbean. Mike and I had found the time and wherewithal to take a break from the winter, head off to warmth, and hopefully waves as well. The international airport couldn’t put us exactly where we were going but an added ferry boat ride did indeed do the trick. After tying up to the dock a quick hike up and over the hill had us in the desired vicinity. Mister Elmo Smith had a secondfloor apartment to rent which worked out just fine. Sure it was bare bones with more than enough friendly or not-sofriendly mosquitoes, depending on your view point, but after a few adjustments home sweet home it became. Mister Smith was even kind enough to occasionally sell us a few beers from his residential first-floor refrigerator. He wasn’t bothered to break away from the dominoes game that he shared with a few local buddies. The one surf break was famously consistent. At waist high to a bit overhead the surf was quite dependable. Early morning would typically feature calm to light offshore winds making for very clean surface conditions on the wave faces.
Even when the wind would come up later in the day it wouldn’t bother it enough to make it unsurfable. Not too bad, not too bad at all. As content as we were to enjoy the consistency of our situation there was a jewel that we hoped to find, or more accurately, a jewel that would hopefully show itself during our brief though much appreciated stay. The point of land that helped create this fabled jewel of a surf break could actually be seen from the line-up at the consistent, dependable break that we surfed on a daily basis. Out in the water I’d regularly look to the east hoping to see some white water off that point of land indicating that some waves were finally beginning to show. This routine continued for a week to 10 days or so, as the time grew short on our island foray. The final day had us both in the water trying to get in as many waves as possible when in the late afternoon it finally appeared. White water was starting to be visible as I looked to the east, at that point of land, as had become so customary. “Mike, I’ve got to go up there and check it out!” Mike was satisfied to keep surfing at the dependable break whereas I, on the other hand, was eager to see if the jewel was showing itself, even if the sparkle was only faint. Leaving the water as quickly as possible I started up the road that paralleled
the beach. Though the point could be seen from the water the trek by land would take some time. In addition to the distance, a steep hill would have to be traversed in order to gain the desired destination. To my fortune, a kind motorist stopped on the less traveled rural road and asked if I needed a ride. Quickly I accepted, placed my board in the back of the car and hopped in. The day was coming to an end with only a few hours of light left. The sky had become cloudy and a light misty rain had started. Up and over the hill and down to the picturesque bay we came upon the spot I was looking for. “Dere’s no waves here, mon,” said the friendly driver.“Wait,” I replied. Sure enough, in a few moments, a set of waves came through, looking to be about head high. Though the driver had offered a ride back to where we had met I asked to be let off. Thanking him, I proceeded to an area near a pier, more inside the bay, that I knew to be a good place to paddle out and around the breaking waves. This swell was definitely not the ultimate for this spot and was breaking quite close to shore along the point. Not only was the water shallow but the bottom was coral, some of it sharp. Celebrating 29 Y Yeears, From
I had heard talk of surfers leaving the water looking like hamburger and I certainly didn’t want to be one of them. All of this coupled with knowledge of a loose fin on my board made me very wary, yet still determined to manage at least a couple of waves. Careful positioning and timing had me paddling into a few choice, good ones. There was one other guy in the water, cheering and joining in the session. He too was on it and had recently arrived, renting a house up on the hill, just waiting on the jewel of this surf break, within sight, to capture it, if and when. After kicking out of a well negotiated steep wall of water I could hear my new acquaintance in his thick Long Island accent. “Way to go! You got a good one! This is it! This is the spot!” Fortunately, I had enough sense to exit the water before the daylight completely waned into night, my board and I unscathed, still both in one piece. The hike up and down the highly-angled, street-lit road, back to home base, was not at all burdensome. I was wrapped in the satisfying cocoon of a few cleanly ridden waves, in a new spot, with a tale to tell. All was right in the world in that moment in time. — Dave Dalkiewicz is the owner of Ocean Atlantic Surf Shop in Ocean City. Our Boats To Y Yo our T Ta able!

Worcester County Humane Society membership drive
Three residents awarded in Pines May Day contest
(May 11, 2018) Three families have received bragging rights for out-decorating neighbors in the first Ocean Pines May Day Basket Event, a spring-inspired community-wide “friendly” contest that debuted in Ocean Pines on May 1. The event encouraged residents and local business owners to display flowers in a creative arrangement outside of their home or business. The beautification effort, sponsored by the Ocean Pines Garden Club, attracted 13 participants. The winning floral arrangement was designed by Robin Wolinski and her daughter, Krysten, both of 24 Brookton Lane. “The judges felt that their basket, which contained flowers from the yard like dogwood, azaleas, tulips and orange lilies, was exceptional,” said Anita Roberts, of the Ocean Pines Garden Club. “Also included in the display were a small vase of wildflowers and a ‘Happy May Day!’ sign.” The second-place award went to Susan Kaiser, of 28 Moonshell Drive. “The judges found the secondplace winner’s entry to be very unique,” Roberts said. “White carnations were placed on a ball of foam, placed in a cone-shaped basket hanging on a shepherd’s hook.” Kaiser’s floral arrangement was a treat for onlookers, Roberts said. “The white carnations were topped with red carnations as if it was a cherry on top of a vanilla ice cream cone,” she said. Barbara Ferger, of 5 Oxford Court, took home third place. “The third-place winner designed a beautiful basket of cut flowers,” Roberts said. “Roses, Gerber Daisies, Asiatic Lilies, and greens were artfully arranged and placed on a cobalt blue wrought iron seat.” The Ocean Pines Garden Club hopes that this community-wide beautification contest blossoms into a staple event, similar to the May Day Basket Event in Annapolis. “Seeing the May Day celebration in Annapolis and the community spirit it sparked was a stimulus in deciding to sponsor the competition in Ocean Pines,” Roberts said. “The Ocean Pines Garden Club is thrilled with the success of this first-time community event. They look forward to May 1, 2019.

Ocean City hosts RAM awards, wins big in competition
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 11, 2018) Several Ocean City restaurateurs were finalists for a number of awards Sunday night during the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s 64th annual Stars of the Industry gala at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street. Resort businesses took home five awards and five were inducted into the Hospitality Hall of Honor. “For the first time ever, the Restaurant Association of Maryland hosted our annual industry awards gala in Ocean City,” Marshall Weston, president and CEO of the Restaurant Association of Maryland, stated in a release. “Over the years, dozens of Eastern Shore restaurants have won our statewide awards, so it made perfect sense to bring the celebration to them. The industry responded with a great party with over 500 people from all over the state in attendance.” Sunset Grille in West Ocean City was the winner in the “Favorite Restaurant” category. The West Ocean City establishment also received the award in 2011. Owner Buddy Trala thanked his staff and friends he worked with at Embers during a speech after receiving the award. “We’ve had the same chef and sous chef since day one, which is unheard of,” Trala said. “They are everything. I am blessed. This is awesome. Thank you.” Susan Jones, who has been executive director of the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association since 1995, received the Brice and Shirley Phillips Lifetime Industry Achievement Award. “I am not one to be speechless,” Jones said. “When I found out about this award, I was very speechless.” The life-long Eastern Shore resident said she was thankful to the original board of directors for allowing her to shape and guide the organization, honored to receive an award in Brice and Shirley Phillips’ name, and expressed appreciation for her coworkers and husband. “I am thankful to God for blessing me with an amazing and loving childhood where the Golden Rule was instilled in me,” Jones said. She ended her speech with lyrics from Tim McGraw’s song “Humble and Kind.” “When the dreams you’re dreamSee SUNSET Page 56

Homeowners with flood insurance to get annual report
KARA HALLISSEY/OCEAN CITY TODAY
(Top) Crab Bag owners Albert Levy, left, and Nolen Graves are ecstatic after the 130th Street restaurant was named “Favorite Crab House” during the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s 64th annual Stars of the Industry gala at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street, Sunday night. (Above) Gathering for a photo after Rare & Rye was named Ocean City’s “Favorite New Restaurant,” from left, are Mike Gershenfeld, of Sysco, Rare & Rye chef Stuart Diepold, and Rare & Rye owner Sal Fasano. (Left) Delegate Mary Beth Carozza, left, presents Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Executive Director Susan Jones, the Brice and Shirley Phillips Lifetime Industry Achievement Award winner, with a citation from the governor during the gala.
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 11, 2018) The National Flood Insurance Program sends a summary of coverage document to homeowners who carry flood insurance. This document provides basic information on flood policies, their coverage and explanation on flood insurance as a whole. There are two types of flood insurance coverage: • Building Property, up to $250,000, and • Personal Property (Contents), up to $100,000 Unlike most homeowner’s insurance policies, flood insurance is not a “valued” policy. This means that flood insurance pays just the replacement cost or the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of actual damages, up to the policy limit. It is also not a guaranteed replacement cost policy, meaning flood insurance does not pay more than the policy limit, even if the damages exceed this amount. Generally, physical damage to your house or personal property “directly” caused by a flood is covered by your flood insurance policy. Under Building Property coverage this includes: • The insured building and its foundation • The electrical and plumbing systems • Central air conditioning equipment, furnaces and water heaters • Refrigerators, cooking stoves, and built-in appliances such as dishwashers • Permanently installed carpeting over an unfinished floor • Permanently installed paneling, wallboard, bookcases and cabinets • Window blinds • Detached garages (up to 10 percent of Building Property Coverage) • Debris removal Under Personal Property coverage, this includes: • Personal belongings such as clothing, furniture and electronic equipment • Curtains • Portable and window air conditioners; portable microwave ovens and dishwashers See SUMMARY Page 57

Sunset Grille and Rare & Rye take home RAM awards Continued from Page 55 ing come to you. When the work you put in is realized. Let yourself feel the pride, but always stay humble and kind,” she said. Del. Mary Beth Carozza was on hand to present and read a citation from the governor. “I read the description of the award and it talks about impeccable character,” Carozza said. “Susan Jones has that.” Jay Taustin, owner of Embers, BLU Crabhouse & Raw Bar and Captain’s Galley, was named a finalist in the Restaurateur of the Year category, as well. Since the gala took place in Ocean City for the first time, there were also three new resort-only categories: Favorite New Restaurant, Favorite Crab House and Favorite Boardwalk Treat. Rare & Rye on 33rd Street won “Favorite New Restaurant” honors. “We were very happy and surprised,” Owner Sal Fasano said. “We feel great about it. Our [first] anniversary party is just a few days away and this is the second award we have won for excellence or best new restaurant. We are very proud of it.” Fasano credits Rare & Rye’s ambience, great customer service and tasty food for the Favorite New Restaurant accolades. New Ocean City restaurant finalists also included Dry Dock 28, Shotti’s Point, Northside Pit & Pub and Braddah Barney’s. “It was a real honor for the Jenkins Family and for Thrasher’s to be recognized by the Restaurant Association of Maryland,” said Les Morris, the longtime general manager of Thrasher’s Fries, which won the “Favorite Boardwalk Treat” category on Sunday night. “We strive every day to keep Thrasher’s French Fries one of the iconic destinations here in Ocean City and to deliver the quality product that has remained a tradition for generations of visitors and locals alike. The award really means a lot to us.”

TOWN OF BERLIN
NOTICE OF A PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Mayor and Council of the Town of Berlin, Maryland proposes to increase real property taxes. 1. For the tax year beginning July 1, 2018 the estimated real property assessable base will increase by 2.8028%, from $399,129,427 to $410,316,276 2. If the Town of Berlin maintains the current tax rate of $.68 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 2.8028% resulting in $76,070 of new real property tax revenues. 3. In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be reduced to $0.6615, the constant yield tax rate. 4. The Town is considering not reducing its real property tax rate enough to fully offset increasing assessments. The Town proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $0.68 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is 2.8028% higher than the constant yield tax rate and will generate $76,070 in additional property tax revenues.

Commentary
Charities like stray cats? Well, maybe
Chances are more than one person winced this week when County Commissioner Ted Elder compared charities to stray cats — you feed one and they all come running. It was one of the more impolitic statements to come out of a commissioners’ meeting in some time, and it probably offended some people affiliated with charitable organizations, because they do tend to look on their involvement as personal missions. But he didn’t mean it like that. While there’s a good argument against another assertion made in Tuesday’s budget meeting — it’s not a charity when government helps fund it, but more on that later — Elder was trying to say that an uncontrolled flood of requests makes a tough job even more difficult. The two factors elected officials must consider when asked to contribute to any cause are money and politics — does their government have enough money to do something, and what might the political ramifications be of doing or not doing it. In other words, who will they insult or irritate no matter what they do?. Tax-exempt organizations are not equal in terms of services provided and the number of people involved. Yet, politics dictates that if money is given to a worthy cause in one part of the county, a less deserving tax-exempt operation elsewhere in the county has to be considered to keep the political books balanced. In that regard, charities are more like children than they are stray cats: parents aren’t supposed to play favorites with their kids, even though one child might put his allowance in the bank each week, while the other spends it all on bubblegum. The horde of stray cats analogy does ring true in one instance, in that it’s impossible to know just by looking at them which ones are suitable for adoption and which ones are more inclined to snatch and run. As for whether government should aid charitable pursuits, it must when their good works benefit the public in ways that government can’t, and when the populations they serve don’t have the money.

Free range children
The recent announcement that “Free Range Children” are now legal in Utah left me with two questions: 1. When did “Free Range Children” become illegal? 2. Are “Free Range Children” better for you than grain-fed children? I pretty much eschew canBy nibalism, although I once did Stewart preside over the headlineDobson writing process for a church supper story that announced, “Fried Children Dinner.” Really. That ranked right up there with my infamous headline about the play, “The Curious Savage,” a high school drama class was about to stage many years ago. The headline read: “Students to put on The Curious Sausage.” As it happened, I never followed up with either group to see whether attendance was up or down as a result of my error, although I did run corrections: “The headline with last week’s story on the church supper inadvertently said, ‘Fried Children Dinner.’ It should have said ‘Fried Chicken Dinner.’ No children will be consumed. We regret the inconvenience we might have caused people who believed otherwise.” “The headline with last week’s story about the high school play inadvertently said, “Students to put on ‘The Curious Sausage.’” It should have said, ‘The Curious Savage.’ The students will not be putting on any sausages, curious or otherwise during this production. We regret … yada, yada, yada.”
But back to this Free Range Children business. I would have thought that advocates of allowing kids to travel solo would have come up with a better way to say it. It just sounds so livestock-y. “My kids are Free Range Children.” “Oh yeah, well mine are fed nothing but acorns.” Wouldn’t it be better just to call them “Independent?” Then again, maybe not. “My kid is an Independent.” “Oh yeah, well my kid is a Republican!” These days, it seems, you’re flirting with trouble no matter what you say, since someone’s going to take it the wrong way or misinterpret what you said, or look for hidden motives, or read into something you didn’t say, didn’t mean, or didn’t even consider. It’s like the Free Range Children thing. I’m sure if I were to say “Students to Stage Fried Free Range Children with Curious Sausage Dinner,” someone would contend that it’s wholly inappropriate. And don’t even get me started on Kobe Beef Children. That would just be wrong. *** By the way, the calls are starting to come in about Ocean City’s new fence in the median on Coastal Highway. It’s somewhat more imposing than most people thought it would be — kind of like those power poles that looked good in the artist’s rendition, but more like a Missile defense system in real life. I say cut the fence folks a break. After all, if Ocean City is ever faced with a caravan of possible illegal aliens at its borders, they’ll never get across the street.
Letters Modern NRA engages in bullying
Editor, Supporters have come to the defense of the NRA organization and continue that loyal support, even in the wake of continued mass shootings. Their logic is that it is not the NRA that pulls the trigger. That the NRA is a gun safety organization. Of course, the NRA did not pull the trigger. The NRA of the past supported gun control even to the extent of coauthoring gun restrictions, including tommy guns of the time. That viewpoint and defense of the NRA is nostalgic, sweet and loving but it is not the NRA of today. Bullies that contribute to suicides are found guilty. The modern NRA of today is equally guilty in mass shootings. They, in fact, oppose and bully, no matter how small initiatives may be, each and every idea that is even mentioned toward sane gun legislation. They attack and attack again and incite the proliferation of gun sales. More guns more opportunity for

shootings. They are relentless in their pursuit of squelching discussion of any gun legislation. This is not the NRA of the past. Quit defending what the NRA used to be. We do support the right to bear arms. Most of our friends are avid hunters and sportsman. We fully support the right for personal protection. Those opinions, however, are not an all-inclusive. Our opinion was and remains that the NRA of today is part of the problem and not part of the solution. Just recently, on the 30-day anniversary of the Valentine’s Day slaughter of Parkland High students, the NRA tweets a message, “I’ll control my own guns, thank you” with a picture of the assault weapon used in the slaughter. You be the judge. The NRA stating that the media “loves these mass shootings,” really? As soon as the Florida Republican majority state legislature agreed to raise the purchase age from 18 to 21, the NRA sued the State of Florida. Is the NRA that desperate to sell one more gun to a mass murdering 19-year-old … again? On Fox News
(yes, I do watch it) a commentator suggested that instead of gun safety, students should be taught to “counterattack” a shooter. Commentator Rick Santorum suggested that students learn CPR to help the victims of mass slaughter. Harden schools, do you know how much schools cost already? Arm teachers? How is a cop going to determine the good guys and the bad guys in the 10 seconds of arriving on the scene with everyone shooting and armed? Again, on Fox, Laura Ingram bullying the Parkland students with nasty, hateful remarks. These mass slaughter attacks, unless you have not heard, occur in churches, concerts, places of work, nightclubs, movie theaters, outdoor concerts, homes. Even President Trump, after he timidly hinted at some weak form of gun safety, cowardly backed down after the NRA met with him and I guess, “told him” and he then did a compete about face. This is a challenge, an invitation if you will, to engage in change that supports both the NRA and the individual rights of those who wish to
Page 74 have weapons with those who want a gun-free society. As a tax-exempt organization, the NRA is supposed to promote social welfare for the common good, not the exclusive good. It should lose its taxexempt status unless it does otherwise. The NRA is a marketer of guns, not a promoter of the common good. Who are they kidding? How far do you want to stretch and distort the Second Amendment. Defend yourself against the government? In case you have not noticed, the government can out-shoot you. Their weapons are bigger. As a fellow American citizen, we have the biggest weapon in the world, your vote. As with the First Amendment, there are limits, but, and as a person who respects the Second Amendment, we feel, like the majority of people, including actual NRA members, that there is no need to own assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and, quite frankly, they should not be allowed. We need assault weapons limits, reinstated as they were, before they Continued on Page 75

Forty service members, from retired World War II and Korean War veterans, to those on active duty, were honored during a Hometown Heroes Military Banner program ceremony near the Firefighter’s Memorial on the Boardwalk, last Thursday.
‘Hometown Heroes’ honored during Boardwalk ceremony By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) The Ocean City Elks Lodge #2645 last Thursday honored 40 service members as part of its 2018 Hometown Heroes Military Banner program. The fifth annual banner dedication ceremony, held near the Firefighter’s Memorial on the Ocean City Boardwalk, honored 31 local, living World War II and Korean War veterans, and nine active-duty servicemen from Worcester County. Pat Riordan of the lodge’s veterans committee helped organize and emcee the event. He said the idea for the program was borrowed from a similar remembrance he saw six years ago during a golf trip to Temecula, California. “I thought Ocean City would really be a great place for it, and [the Elks committee] said run it by the Town Council and the mayor and see what they say. That was back in 2013,” Ri-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 74 expired. Is there any room for discussion or compromise, or is it the NRA’s way or the highway? Banning assault weapons will not singularly solve the mass slaughters, murders, and gun accidents that our country is experiencing. It will take background checks, waiting periods and a ban on assault weapons and much more. The Republican Party, who are in control of this government along with Donald Trump, stand idly by as more opportunity for killings and profits from the sale of weapons designed to kill humans continues and they get
ordan said. The inaugural program, in 2014, honored 20 active-duty military. World War II veterans were added in 2016, and Korean War veterans were included for the first time last year. “We’re trying to get the older veterans while they’re still with us, because we only have so many flagpoles to go with,” Riordan said. “Last year of the 40 banners we had up, eight of them passed away while their banners were up and two of the have passed away since then.” The dedication ceremony is held each year in conjunction with Springfest, and banners are taken down and presented to honorees each October. The honorees are encouraged to speak during the observance, although Riordan said many veterans remain humble about their service. “With some of them, their families have to surprise them to get them See FORTY Page 77
their “A” rating and donations from the NRA. We are not fans of Trump , but on this issue, he, and he alone can address and solve this problem. Do you really need that donation from the NRA? The perception is that the NRA owns the Republican Party. Perception is reality. The time for thoughts and prayers and delaying action because “it’s too soon after a shooting” is over. Make meaningful change now, Mr. Trump and Representative Harris. Are you really that afraid of the NRA. I think so. Sandy and Palmer Gillis Ocean City

From first grade to breaking barriers, Smacks endured By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Just before former U.S. Air Force Airman First Class John Dale Smack was handed a microphone last Thursday during a ceremony honoring service members in Ocean City, his wife of more than six decades told him what to say: that it was a good experience and he learned a lot. John, who turned 84 on Monday, couldn’t quite hear Leola and instead explained to several hundred attendees why he served for only a few years and then went home – he had to go see about a girl. The story of John and Leola Smack dates back to the early 1940s, when the couple met in first grade at the
Flower Street School in Berlin, currently the multipurpose building. “My first beating was because of her,� John said with a laugh, sitting next to Leola at their Branch Street home of more than 50 years. “It wasn’t until about sixth grade or seventh grade we started noticing each other,� Leola said. “I think it was in the ninth grade we started dating, and he carried me to my first prom.� After high school, Leola enrolled at Bowie State University, then called the Maryland State Teacher’s College, and in 1956 returned to teach, ironically, first grade at Flower Street. John, meanwhile, enlisted in the Air Force and served as a military policeman in Germany during the Korean War.

John Dale and Leola Smack talk about their 60-year marriage, breaking the color barrier, and Dale’s service in the United States Air Force that briefly interrupted their lives together. The couple met in first grade at the Flower Street School in Berlin and have three children and four grandchildren.
They corresponded during that time, but John wasn’t able to see his old school sweetheart until he was properly discharged. “I was working in Ocean City and called home and my aunt said, ‘You had someone come to look for you ‌ John Dale is home,’â€? Leola said. “I said, ‘Ohhh,’â€? she added with a laugh. Although far part, Leola said everyone at college had gotten to know John through her stories. “We reconnected right away, because we had gone together through high school.â€? John and Leola were married a year later and have spent their lives together in Berlin, and both became pioneers of their community. He worked for 52 years as a school bus driver in Worcester County – famously without taking a single sick day – and during the 1970s broke the color barrier as the first AfricanAmerican town councilman in Berlin. Leola, in 1967, became the first black schoolteacher at Buckingham Elementary School. She retired from teaching in 1992 after 35 years, al-
though she continued to substitute, offer in-home tutoring and lead an afterschool program at her church. The Smack’s three children were also trailblazers. Their oldest son, John Dale Smack III, was the first African-American chief judge of the orphan’s court in Maryland. In 2016, Gov. Larry Hogan appointed him as state parole commissioner, where he continues to serve. Daughter Velda Henry was the first the African-American human resources supervisor at the Worcester County Board of Education. She retired in 2016. Their youngest son, Kevin Smack, followed in his mother’s footsteps as a Bowie graduate and schoolteacher for nearly three decades. He currently teaches at Oxon Hill High School in Prince George’s County, Maryland. John and Leola also have four grandchildren and in August will have been married for 61 years. All their children were at the ceremony last Thursday near the Ocean See LOVE Page 81

They deserve the recognition and, for the active duty kids and everybody that walks the Boardwalk, it’s great for them to see that these guys are so respected and admired,” Riordan continued. “That’s something that hasn’t always been there and, regardless of your politics, the troops are here to fight for our freedom and to keep us a free country – that’s what it’s all about.” For more information on the program, call Riordan at 443-623-6162 or email 91454@mchsi.com.

Resort appears set to deny county request Continued from Page 1 Worcester County and, in fact, due to our tax base, would already be contributing approximately 58 percent of the revenue necessary to fund the county’s share of this project. We support the study and the county’s commitment to maintaining the inlet for the benefit of the entire county,” Meehan’s statement, in its entirety, reads. For at least the past five years, the inlet has been plagued by shoaling, with sand constantly trying to fill in the slough carved by the 1933 hurricane that separated Assateague Island from the resort. The creation of a navigable passage to the ocean launched an offshore sportsfishing industry that grew into a multi-million-dollar enterprise and made Ocean City the “White Marlin Capital of the World.” But in the years since, vessels that once traversed that ribbon of water without consequence began to run aground on growing sandbars, especially between buoys 11 and 12. At first, it was commercial fishing vessels riding low in the water with their catch, then it was empty commercial fishing boats, and now sporadic reports of larger recreational vessels striking bottom have begun to appear. “I hope Ocean City isn’t shooting themselves in the foot with this,” said Jim Motsko, founder of the resort’s White Marlin Open fishing tournament, itself a multi-million-dollar event. The inlet has occasionally been closed to commercial fishing operators, or the boats have had to moor in Ocean City and have their catch ferried to the harbor by smaller vessels. Commercial fishing captains also have timed their boats’ passage through the inlet according to the tides to avoid hitting bottom.
The inlet has been plagued by shoaling in recent years, with commercial boats running aground attempting to deliver their catches.
Others have become stuck so many times they have packed up operations for safer harbor in places like New Jersey. “I’m not going to be political about it, I just think it’s foolish,” said Merrill Campbell, of Southern Connection Seafood, which relies on inlet access to operate. Because of the longstanding issue, several dozen meetings have been held, and eventually a plan emerged. A partnership between federal, state and local government, along with the Army Corps of Engineers would tackle the shoaling problem. The plan would take money to implement, and first, the feasibility phase needs to be completed to determine if the project has the legs to move forward. The cost associated with the feasibility phase is estimated

to be $1.2 million. The Army Corps of Engineers has promised to contribute $600,000 of that cost, with the state offering $200,000 and Worcester County putting in $300,000, which leaves an estimated balance of $100,000. Additional funds from other sources are possible. “It is our sincere hope that Ocean City will recognize the importance of the project and join us as a non-federal sponsor with a commitment of $200,000 for the feasibility study and continued support of the long-term dredging operation … in a similar fashion as our current arrangement as non-federal sponsors of the beach replenishment project in Ocean City,” the letter, signed by Commissioner President Diana Purnell, reads. In the April, in discussions leading up to the county commissioners asking the resort for the money, Joe Mitrecic, Ocean City’s commissioner, noted that the county had not formally asked the resort for money. When a motion to supply that request in the form of the aforemen-
tioned letter was offered by Commissioner Chip Bertino, Mitrecic was the lone nay vote. In the meantime, Ocean City officials have bitterly complained about the unfairness of the county’s taking millions of dollars in property tax revenue from Ocean City, when resort property owners don’t benefit from as many county services as the rest of Worcester’s population. For the past several years, Meehan and members of the council have pushed hard to have the county create a lower tax rate — or tax differential — for the resort that reflects the imbalance between what is paid and what is received. Ocean City government also has filed suit to have the court decide whether the resort is owed a differential. Assuming the inlet study is financed somehow and its conclusions are accepted, the Army Corps of Engineers will cover 90 percent of the cost for remedial action, up to $10 million. The balance would have to be shouldered by non-federal partners.

Miller said among the larger challenges were the cost-of-living-adjustments and modifying pay step scales. “One of the concerns was they … would prefer to get a step (pay increase) every year,” he said. The new agreement, which runs from this July until June 30, 2021, in-
cludes $687,324 for wages and incidental expenses. Included in the terms are yearly one-step pay scale progressions for eligible employees each January, along with a one percent cost-of-living-adjustment in 2019, which becomes two-percent the last two years of the agreement. “They were willing to adjust the step table to make it happen,” Miller said. “The percentage of increase isn’t as great, but there are more steps in the program.” Retirement benefits were another
linchpin in the discussions, Miller said, with the ratified contract including $480,000 for pension benefits. Unlike city employees, who receive matching funds for individual retirement accounts, Miller said police union members have a defined benefit plan. “When [municipal employees] retire, we have ‘X’ number of dollars [that] we have to live on and manage that,” he said. “Police have defined benefits which [gives] ‘X’ dollars for life.” Miller said the current defined
benefit plan provided less generous terms for newer police recruits, who were eligible to retire after 25 years of service, but unlike their predecessors, were also required to be at least age 55 “We took away the 55-year-old age requirement,” he said. “[Now] the officers get to retire a little bit sooner.” Although contract negotiations ventured near a precipice, Bushnell said both sides opted to pull back from the edge. “We have never gone to arbitration,” he said “We’ve always been able to work it out.”

WORLD WAR II
‘Big E’ led fight against Japan during WWII By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (May 11, 2018) This week, 80 years ago, the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6), was commissioned. The USS Enterprise was lovingly called by her crew “The Big E,” not because of her size, but for her charming appearance and spacious flight and hanger decks. She was the second carrier of the Yorktown-class. The other two were the Yorktown and the Wasp. In the period after world War I, the US Navy began experimenting with different designs for aircraft carriers. Its first aircraft carrier, USS Langley (CV1), was built from a converted collier and utilized a flush deck design (no island). The next two carriers were the USS Lexington (CV-2) and USS Saratoga (CV-3), which were constructed using large hulls that had been intended for battle cruisers. Sizable carriers, they were the largest warships in the US Navy until the arrival of the Iowa-class battleships in 1943. These vessels had air groups numbering around 80 aircraft and large islands. Late in the 1920s, design work moved forward on the US Navy’s first purpose-built carrier, USS Ranger (CV4). She was less than half the displace-
ment of Lexington and Saratoga, but a more efficient use of space allowed her to carry a similar number of aircraft. As these early carriers commenced service, the US Navy and the Naval War College conducted several tests and war games through which they hoped to determine the ideal carrier design. These studies concluded that speed and torpedo protection were of significant importance and that a large air group was necessary as it provided greater operational flexibility. They also found that carriers utilizing islands had enhanced control over their air groups, were better able to clear exhaust smoke, and could direct their defensive armament more effectively. Testing at sea also found that larger carriers were more capable of operating in difficult weather conditions than smaller vessels such as Ranger. Though the Navy originally preferred a design displacing around 27,000 tons, due to the restrictions imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty, it instead was forced to choose one that provided the desired characteristics, but only weighed approximately 20,000 tons. As a result of these studies, the Navy ordered three carriers which were referred to as the Yorktown-class carriers. “The Big E” was ordered by the Navy in
1933. Laid down on July 16, 1934 at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, work moved forward on the carrier’s hull. On October 3, 1936, the Enterprise was launched with Lulie Swanson, wife of Secretary of the Navy, Claude Swanson, serving as sponsor. The Enterprise, when fully operational, weighed 25,000 tons, and for its defense, possessed an armament centered on eight 5-inch guns and four 1.1inch quad anti-aircraft guns. This defensive armament would be enlarged and enhanced several times during the carrier’s long career. She also could make 32.5 knots at full speed, and had an air group of about 90 aircraft. Despite being much smaller than the Lexington and the Saratoga, she carried as many fighters, torpedo bombers, and dive bombers. The Enterprise participated in more actions in World War II against Japan than any other US warship, starting at Pearl Harbor. She flew 18 dive bombers of VS-6 and they were over the island when Japanese Zeros shot down six of them with the loss of 11 crewmen, making her the only US carrier with men at Pearl Harbor during the attack and the first to receive casualties during the Pacific War. Enterprise entered Pearl Harbor on
Dec. 8. Sailing the next morning, it patrolled west of Hawaii and its aircraft sank the Japanese submarine I-70, making her the first US Navy ship to sink a Japanese warship in World War II. In late December, Enterprise continued patrols near Hawaii, while other US carriers unsuccessfully attempted to relieve Wake Island. In early 1942, the carrier escorted convoys to Samoa as well as conducted raids against the Marshall and Marcus Islands. On April 18, 1942, Enterprise provided cover for the Hornet, as it carried Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle’s force of B-25 bombers toward Japan. After the “Doolittle Raid,” Enterprise returned to Pearl Harbor. On April 30, she sailed to reinforce the Yorktown and Lexington in the Coral Sea. This mission was aborted as the Battle of the Coral Sea was fought before Enterprise arrived. The Enterprise returned to Pearl Harbor on May 26, and quickly readied to take part in the anticipated enemy attack on Midway. Serving as Rear Adm. Raymond Spruance’s flagship, Enterprise sailed with Hornet on May 28. Taking a position near Midway, the carriers were soon joined by Yorktown.

Leola recalled her husband’s nervous moment at the microphone that turned into a tender salute. “I told him what to say, and he didn’t say it!” she said. “I just told him to tell them it was a wonderful experience that you had, your four years in the Air Force, and to thank them. And he talked about me!” John, laughter still in his voice, blamed poor hearing and said he couldn’t help but think about his wife. “When I looked at her for help, she had gone back and sat down!” he said. “But it came to me to talk about her. “It was a great experience, [serving], because you get a chance to see a lot of things that you wouldn’t if you had stayed. It was very educational,” he said. But, he’s glad he came back home when he did. “Now? Yes. You’re not going to catch me on that one!” John said with a laugh, his wife at his side, still smiling, even after 60 years.

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 80 craft from Enterprise sank the Japanese carriers Akagi and Kaga, which were far larger. They later contributed to the sinking of the carrier Hiryu. A stunning American victory, Midway saw the Japanese lose four carriers in exchange for Yorktown which was badly damaged in the fighting and later was sunk by a Japanese submarine, I168. Enterprise arrived at Pearl Harbor on June 13, where she underwent a month of maintenance and overhaul. The Enterprise sailed again on July 15, and joined the US forces in the Southwest Pacific to support the invasion of Guadalcanal in early August. After covering the landings, Enterprise, along with Saratoga, took part in the Battle of the Eastern Solomon’s, on Aug. 24-25. Though the light Japanese carrier Ryujo was sunk, Enterprise took three bomb hits and was severely damaged. Returning to Pearl Harbor for re-
Ocean City Today pairs, the carrier was ready for sea by mid-October. Rejoining operations around the Solomons, Enterprise participated in the Battle of Santa Cruz on Oct. 25-27. Despite taking two bomb hits, Enterprise remained operational and took aboard many of Hornet’s aircraft after that carrier was sunk. The Enterprise was sent back to the US for repairs. Arriving at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, the carrier began an extensive overhaul which enhanced its anti-aircraft defensive armament and saw the addition of an anti-torpedo blister to the hull. She then joined the carriers of Task Force 58, and in November took part in raids across the Pacific as well as introduced carrier-based night fighters to the Pacific. In February 1944, Task Force 58 mounted a series of devastating attacks against Japanese warships and merchant vessels at the Japanese Fortress Island of Truk. She then conducted raids in the Southwest
Pacific Theater of Operations and provided air support for Allied landings at Hollandia, New Guinea in mid-April. Responding to the US landings in the Marianas in June 1944, the Japanese dispatched a large force of five fleet and four light carriers to turn back the US fleet. Taking part in the resulting Battle of the Philippine Sea on June 19-20, Enterprise’s aircraft aided in destroying more than 600 Japanese aircraft and sinking three enemy carriers. Due to the lateness of the US attacks on the Japanese fleet, many aircraft returned home in darkness which greatly complicated their recovery. Remaining in the area until July 5, Enterprise aided operations ashore. After a brief overhaul at Pearl Harbor, the carrier commenced raids against the Volcano and Bonin Islands, as well as Yap, Ulithi, and Palau, in late August and early September. In the Battle of Leyte of Gulf, on Oct. 24, 1944, the Enterprise, operating as
MAY 11, 2018 part of Task Force 38, steamed north with the Third Fleet to engage the Japanese Northern Force off Cape Engano. Five strikes launched by the Enterprise on Oct. 25 assisted in sinking four Japanese carriers and damaging battleships and other units. Putting to sea on Christmas Eve, Enterprise carried the fleet’s only air group that was capable of night operations. As a result, the carrier’s designation was changed to CV(N)-6. After operating in the South China Sea, Enterprise joined Task Force 58 in February 1945 and took part in attacks around Tokyo. Moving south, the carrier used its day-night capability to provide support for the US Marines during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Returning to the Japanese coast in mid-March, Enterprise’s aircraft attacked targets on the Home Islands of Honshu, Kyushu, and in the Inland Sea. Arriving off Okinawa on April 5, it began air support operations for the US forces fighting ashore. While off Okinawa, Enterprise was hit by two kamikazes, one on April 11 and the other on May 14. While the damage from the first could be repaired at Ulithi, the damage from the second destroyed the carrier’s forward elevator and required her to return to Puget Sound. Entering the yard on June 7, Enterprise was still there when the war ended in August. Fully repaired, the carrier sailed for Pearl Harbor that fall and returned to the US with 1,100 servicemen. She was then ordered to the Atlantic, where, at Boston, she had additional berthing installed for the many more men she had to bring home. Taking part in “Operation Magic Carpet,” Enterprise commenced a series of voyages to Europe to bring home the troops. At the conclusion of these activities, Enterprise had transported more than 10,000 men back to the United States. As the carrier was smaller and dated, relative to the newer Essex-class carriers that entered the US Navy in 1943, she was deactivated at New York on Jan. 18, 1946 and fully decommissioned the following year. Over the next decade, attempts were made to preserve “The Big E” as a museum ship or memorial. Unfortunately, these efforts failed to raise enough money to buy the vessel from the Navy, and in 1958 it was sold for scrap. For its service in World War II, Enterprise was the most decorated warship. She received The Asiatic-Pacific Medal with 20 battle stars, The Presidential Unit Citation, The Navy Unit Commendation, the American Defense Service Medal, The American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, and the Philippine Liberation Medal. She was not to be forgotten, in 1961, the Enterprise name was revived with the commissioning of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Next week: Gneisenau commissioned

SD tennis players to participate in Dist. VIII tourney

Stephen Decatur senior Montrel Moore signs his National Letter of Intent to run track for Division I University of Maryland Eastern Shore at the Berlin high school two weeks ago. Pictured with Moore, seated, from left, are his cousin, Zebrina Rhem; aunt, Sullar Barfield; and his mother, Sherry Barfield, and in back, Decatur Track Coach Jody Stigler; his sister, Vermelle Moore; and teacher/mentor, Shanan Hohl.
Moore to run track for Div. I UMES ‘Tomorrow is not promised. I want to do whatever I can do to my full ability,’ he says
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) Stephen Decatur senior Montrel Moore always wanted to go to college. Getting to compete in track is an added bonus. Moore will have that opportunity at Division I University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where he signed his National Letter of Intent to run track for the school two weeks ago. “I was very excited. It was truly a blessing,” Moore said. “Knowing I was going to go to that school and [to be able to] run track on top of it was everything coming true. I just really wanted to go to college, then to see they were going to give me an opportunity to run there, I would take that any day.” Moore received an athletic scholarship. When he visited UMES, Moore said he liked the atmosphere. Everyone he met was friendly and welcoming, from the teachers, to students, track coaches and athletes.
“It seemed like I could get along with them. Everyone had the mindset to be bigger than what they could be,” he said. He decided to go to UMES because “it was close to home and when I actually went there, I felt like I was at home.” “When I got there I was really comfortable,” he said. “It was a really big decision with all the other options. I felt like I would feel more comfortable there, and my family really liked it.” Moore, 18, has been a member of the Decatur outdoor track team for four years. His main events are the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes. He also runs in relay races. He competed on the Decatur indoor track team during his junior and senior years. He ran in the 55- and 300-meter events, along with relay races. “His contributions to the team have been essential to the success of the team over the last few years,” Decatur Track Coach Jody Stigler said. He also played football for three seasons and basketball for two. “Montrel has also been active in the community, volunteering with
Worcester County Public Schools and Atlantic General Hospital,” Stigler said. “It is evident that Montrel shows the same level of commitment and work ethic in all of his pursuits. “Montrel is a very hard worker in practice and can always be counted on to set a good example for his younger teammates,” Stigler continued. “I believe that these qualities will lead Montrel to great success as he continues his athletic and academic pursuits in the future.” With a few weeks left in the Decatur outdoor track season, Moore hopes to compete in the regional meet and qualify for states. “I just want to leave it all out on the track,” he said. “I go into every track meet like it’s my last. Anything can happen. Tomorrow is not promised. I want to do whatever I can do to my full ability.” At UMES, Moore plans to major in exercise science. He would like to be a physical therapist. “My goals for college is to get my degree and not just stop at one point, but keep progressing each and every way that I can, knowing that I can be more than I ever thought I could be,” See MOORE Page 88
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) Eight Stephen Decatur tennis players will participate in the District VIII tournament, scheduled for Wednesday, May 16 and Thursday, May 17, in Cambridge. Sophomore Laura Meadows will compete in the girls’ singles division, while junior captain Trevor Hayes battles in the boys’ singles tournament. Hayes is seeded third and Meadows is eighth. Hayes played in the first singles spot during the season and Meadows at second singles. “As one of the top seeds, it will be good for Trevor to play lower seeds early,” Decatur Coach Steve Berquist said. “I think he definitely has a chance to win some matches. The goal is to make it to the championships.” “[Meadows] will be competing against a lot of first singles players, but it going to be a good mix,” Coach Jamie Greenwood said. Junior Sophia Gordy and sophomore Sarah Haskell, who played second doubles this season, will team up for doubles action during the tournament. They are seeded 14th. “There’s going to be some stiff competition there,” Greenwood said. On the boys’ side, senior Frankie Nanna will pair up with sophomore Austin Marple for doubles competition. They received the No. 7 seed. “They’ll face some stiff competition. It’s usually really competitive,” Berquist said. “Usually the top one and two singles players play doubles.” Junior captains Grace Beres and Jonathan Petito will come together for mixed doubles during the district tournament. Beres played first singles during the season and Petito second singles. They are seeded sixth in the tournament. “Jonathan and Grace have the best chance of advancing to the second day. They’re a good pair,” Greenwood said. “If they’re down, they’re going to keep fighting. Neither of them give up and they communicate well.” “They both did really well this season,” Berquist said. “The goal is for them to make it to the championships.” Beres, Petito and Hayes competed in the tournament last year. Everyone else is making his or her district debut. Decatur plays eight-game pro sets See DECATUR Page 88

Moore hopes to qualify for state meet for Decatur Continued from Page 87 he said. “That’s what I want to do school-wise. “Going to college to run track, I never thought I would do that,” he continued. “It’s a really big accomplishment. Now it’s just seeing what I can actually do [and] what my body will let me do.” Moore said he is grateful for his support system. “I just want to thank my coaches and my family, the teachers and everybody that was supportive in the community, and telling me I did a good job even if I thought I did bad,” Moore said.

WP tennis teams eye ESIAC titles
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) The Worcester Prep girls’ tennis team finished the regular season on Monday with a 7-0 victory over the Delmarva Christian Royals in Georgetown, Delaware. “The girls played great. They stepped up today,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said after the competition. “They were focused and did a great job of staying in the point. A lot of them were quite long rallies.” Sophomores Annika Larsen (8-3) and Abi Plylar (8-3), senior captains Anchita Batra (8-2) and Hope Sens (8-5), and junior Maya Natesan (8-4) won their first through fifth singles matches, respectively. Sophomore Mesa Cammack and freshman Summer Walker took their first doubles match, 8-2. Sophomores Kennedy Humes and Korina Gjikuria outscored their second doubles opponent, 8-4. “I was pleased with their last match,”
Hudson said. “The girls finished strong.” The Lady Mallards went undefeated, 16-0, this year, while the boys’ squad finished 11-0. The Prep teams will compete in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship tournament on Saturday on the Salisbury University courts, beginning at 11 a.m. Five teams – Worcester, Gunston Day, Salisbury School, Delmarva Christian and Saints Peter & Paul – will compete in the girls’ tournament. The boys’ competition will include Worcester, Gunston and Salisbury School. Larsen, Plylar and Natesan will play singles. Batra and Sens; sophomore Saylor McGuiness and Cammack; and Humes and Gjikuria will participate in the doubles contest. Hudson said the Mallards look strong going into the tournament. She expects the competition to be tougher than in past
Decatur softball plagued by injuries going into playoffs
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) The Stephen Decatur softball team will battle the Chesapeake Cougars of Anne Arundel, on Monday at 4 p.m. in Pasadena, in the second round of the 3A East Region tournament. Both squads received first-round byes. The Chesapeake Cougars earned the No 1. seed in Section II of the 3A East, while Decatur sits in the No. 4 spot. “This team has the potential to be absolutely amazing and unstoppable, but we tend to get in our own way, which is extremely frustrating,” Decatur Coach Cheryl Harte said. “We’ve shown how great we can be when we can pull it all together, but that seems to be the trick for us.”
Decatur ended the regular season with a 9-9 record and some unfortunate luck. “We’ve had four season-ending injuries on our team, so just when we think we’ve got a solid defense and offensive lineup, somebody gets hurt,” Harte said. “It’s been rough, but I’ve been impressed with how the girls have stuck together through their highs and lows. This team has meshed together better than any other team I’ve had the privilege to coach.” In order to be successful, Harte said the Lady Seahawks must be “mentally tough.” “We can’t allow our physical errors to impact our mental because as soon as that happens we completely take ourselves out of the game without a fighting chance,” Harte said.
years, especially in the singles tournament. Hudson thinks Worcester will have an advantage in the doubles competition. To be successful, Hudson said the girls can’t get intimidated or down on themselves. “They’re working toward the goal of winning the championship,” she said. “I think they have a solid shot.” Playing singles for the boys’ team will be juniors Dominic Anthony and Will Todd, and senior captain Brenner Maull. Juniors Graham Hammond and Cameron Hill; senior captain Brendan Miller and his brother, Colin, a junior; and freshmen Ryan Brafman and Ben Brandt will take the court for doubles action. “They’ve played well all year. They’ve been consistent,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “They’re peaking at the right time. It’s probably one of the strongest teams I’ve had.” The key to success in the tournament will be serving. Getting their first serve in will be key. “It’s going to depend on how well we serve,” he said. “I think we have a good chance to win the team title.”
Decatur tennis players ready for district tourney Continued from Page 87 during the season. For districts, it is best two-out-of-three matches, so Greenwood said the players would be preparing for that format during practices leading up to the competition. Berquist said the boys are confident, at the top of their game right now and are ready for districts. Greenwood said the girls are playing well and also primed for the tournament.

Seahawks ‘ready’ for reg. playoffs
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team finished the regular season with an 8-4 record and earned the No. 2 seed in Section II of the 3A East Region. “I think we’re ready,” Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said. “Everyone got a lot of playing time this season. We’re looking forward to a good run in the playoffs.” The Seahawks will host the No. 3 Chesapeake Cougars of Anne Arundel today, Friday, at 5 p.m. after both teams received a first-round bye.
“We’re playing at home and you can’t get a better scenario than that,” Lathroum said. The teams scrimmaged each other during the preseason in mid-March and Lathroum remembered that Chesapeake was strong in the goal. Scott Lathroum “They have an excellent goalie. We’re going to have to come out and play as hard as we can,” he said. “Defense, we’re good there. We have to run our offense, shoot
well and be accurate with our shots, win face-offs and ground balls, and be physical with them.” While Lathroum said the Seahawks would take the tournament one game at a time, they are also chomping at the bit to battle the James M. Bennett Clippers again. Bennett came from behind to beat Decatur, 12-8, on May 2 in Berlin. Bennett, the 3A East Section II No. 1 seed, is scheduled to play the fourthseeded Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel, today. The winners of the Decatur-Chesapeake and Bennett-Northeast games will go head-to-head on Monday.

Sophomores Carly Hoffman, a team captain, and Madison VanOrden and Quinn McColgan
scored two goals apiece. VanOrden and McColgan also had an assist each. Hoffman won seven draws and VanOrden was successful on six of the ones she took. Junior captain Delaney Abercrombie tallied one goal and four assists. Senior captain Sophia Bandorick was not challenged while in goal for Worcester. She also had the opportunity to play some attack for the Berlin
squad at the end of the game. Junior Clare DeMallie recorded two saves. The Mallards will host the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres, today, Friday, for the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game at 4 p.m. When the two teams went head-tohead on April 23 in Berlin, Worcester won 11-10 in overtime. On May 2 in Easton, the Prep squad came out on
top, 13-7. To capture the championship title, Hahn said would take “intensity, heart and honing in our skills.” “If we can play how we played up there, with the intensity and the heart, then we should be fine because we have the talent,” Hahn said. “It’s just them wanting it. I know they wanted it last week. That’s what we need to focus on to win the championship.”

Decatur baseball squad to host JMB, Saturday, 10 a.m.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 11, 2018) The Stephen Decatur baseball team earned the No. 1 seed in Section II of the 3A East Region and will host the No. 4 James M. Clippers on Saturday at 10 a.m. Both teams received a first-round bye. This will be the third time Rich Ferro the teams have met on the field this season. Decatur (17-3) won the first meeting on March 28 in Berlin, 3-2. In Salisbury on
April 26, Decatur came out on top, 9-2. Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said the Seahawks are playing “consistent” baseball going into the playoffs. Despite the advantage of playing on their home field, Ferro is a little concerned about the early start time. The Seahawks’ games usually begin at 4 p.m. To be successful, Ferro said it will be important to “throw strikes and play clean defense, [and have] timely hitting.” “We just need to focus and compete,” he said. The winner will battle the No. 3 Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel or the No. 2 Chesapeake Cougars of Anne Arundel, on Tuesday.
Boys fought hard, ‘left it all out on the field’ this season Continued from Page 91 and when we did have chances, their goalie made some big saves.” Worcester trailed 5-2 at halftime, but senior captain Tucker Brown scored to cut the lead to one, then junior Owen Tunis brought the Mallards to within one. Calverton answered with two goals of its own. Brown netted the Mallards’ fifth goal with about three minutes remaining in the game. “[The Mallards] tried really hard. [Calverton] held the ball trying to keep it from us and did a good job,” Gates said. Brown led Worcester with three goals. Tunis and junior captain Cooper Richins scored one each. Senior captain Sam Cantello had two assists. Richins and junior captain Cole Berry picked up three ground balls apiece. Prep freshman goalie Hunter Gentry came up with some big saves to keep his
team in the game. He stopped 10 Calverton shots. “It’s hard not to be disappointed,” Gates said. “I was hoping to play one more game.” Worcester finished the season with a 6-6 record. The Mallards earned the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference regular-season title. There was no championship game this year. “I don’t remember a team that fought as hard as this team,” Gates said. “They left it all out on the field. They tried their hardest.” The team will graduate four players – Brown, Cantello, defender Porter Bunting and goalie Jack Fager, a team captain. “It’s going to be tough to replace all four of them,” Gates said. “Our offense will lose some firepower, but I think we should be pretty good next year.”
The cost is $130 per golfer per session, which includes lunch and snacks each day and a goody bag at the end of camp. Equipment will be provided, or participants may bring their own.
Spaces are limited, and sessions will sell out quickly. Online registration may be completed at OceanPinesGolf.org. For more information, contact Ocean Pines Golf Club at 410-641-6057.

Sponsorships sought for Mary Mac golf tournament
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) Registration is full, but hole sponsors are still needed for the seventh annual Mary Mac Foundation Memorial Golf Tournament, Aug. 3 at the Ocean Pines Golf and Country Club. Tim McMullen started the nonprofit foundation seven years ago to honor his late wife, Mary McMullen, a special education instructor at Severna Park High School and Ruth Eason School in Millersville, Maryland. He said the foundation was started shortly after she passed away, in August 2012. Several family members came to visit and pay their respects, “and we sat around afterwards and said, ‘Let’s form this next year and start doing some things.’” “Our mission this year is to send as many low-income kids as possible to summer camp,” McMullen said. “We think that every child deserves a good summer.” The foundation in part supports Camp St. Vincent de Paul in Baltimore, an organization offering eightweek summer camps for homeless children. “They get three meals a day, swim lessons, and lessons in English and math that we think are crucial,” McMullen said. Mary Mac also supports Camp Barnes, a residential camp in Frankford, Delaware for low-income children. “We’re also involved in the Ocean Pines youth program,” McMullen said. “We’re really committed to
helping kids enjoy their summers and have the summer that they deserve.” He said programs of the nonprofit affect several hundred children in the region. Additionally, the Mary Mac Foundation established a scholarship at Severna Park High School in Mary’s name, and the nonprofit helps fund the education of an adopted child from Haiti. “The more money we raise, the more we can do for these types of programs,” McMullen said. “I know the St. Vincent de Paul program is underfunded, I’m sure Camp Barnes needs as much assistance as possible, and I think our youth programs in Ocean Pines are not as fully funded as they should be. “When we take a look at cutbacks, too many times we talk about the recreational budget, which is a small percentage of your annual assessment [in Ocean Pines] and that’s some of the best dollars that we spend,” he continued. “But we’re excited about this upcoming year and we appreciate the support that we get from this community.” Fundraising activities for the foundation this year include the second annual Mary Mac Night at Camden Yards, this Saturday, and the golf tournament on Aug. 3. Hole sponsorships for the tournament are $100. For more information, visit www.MaryMac.org or call McMullen at 443-827-2091. Donations to the Mary Mac Foundation can be made online, or by check payable to Mary Mac Foundation, 174 Nottingham Lane, Berlin, Maryland, 21811.

WRESTLING CHAMPS Berlin Junior Seahawks wrestlers, Elijah Collick, 9, left, and Peter Snyder, 11, won their divisions during the Middle Atlantic Wrestling Association Nationals, held May 5-6 at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury. This is the first time anyone from the Jr. Seahawks program has won the MaWa Nationals. Collick competed in the Midget 62 pounds division. He is an honor student at Buckingham Elementary School. Snyder participated in the Junior 91-pound weight class. He is a straight-A student at Berlin Intermediate School. Snyder was wrestling in honor of his 9-year-old brother, Pierce, who was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) last November, after becoming completely immobilized and has been in a wheelchair since. CMT is a neurological disorder that effects the hands, feet and lower legs. Pierce is in constant pain, but refuses to give up, his mother, Jamie Snyder said. He plans to ride his bike June 9 in Oxford, Maryland to help raise money for the CMTA (cmtausa.org) to help find a cure. Currently there is no cure and physical therapy is the only solution, which he does seven days a week. His team page is: https://mcmta.akaraisin.com/16138/participant/4132385. Team Pierce T-shirts are available at www.customink.com/fundraising/thepierce?side=front&type=1&zoom=false.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 11, 2018) United States District Court Judge Richard Bennett allowed only three of the regulations developed by the Boardwalk Task Force and scrapped the rest, including Ocean City government’s lottery system to determine where performers get to perform each day. The regulations the city can enforce include preventing any performances anywhere on Boardwalk after 1 a.m., barring any performances at the ends of North Division and Dorchester streets, and prohibiting a busker from placing or allowing an item exceeding six feet in height above ground on the Boardwalk. But the city can no longer require all performers that choose to set up between First and Ninth streets to show up at City Hall one week in advance to register for a selected spot — the lottery system developed by the task force, nor can it require perform-
ers to remain in a designated spot, or to occupy only one spot on the Boardwalk. The city also can no longer ban performances before 10 a.m. or prohibit signs or advertising on umbrellas used by the performers. Bennett’s decision calls these regulations unconstitutional and in violation of both the First Amendment to the Constitution and of Article 40 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights. The performance hour restriction was rejected by Bennett largely on First Amendment grounds, but also on prior restraint. Prior restraint is judicial suppression of instances of expression, rather than based on the subject matter. Bennett concluded the restrictions enacted placed a substantial burden on speech that neither implicates nor hinders Ocean City’s interests. “As this Court stated over twenty years ago in Markowitz, Ocean City must determine the forms of expressive activities that “actually harm or substantially threaten” the City’s interests and “develop an ordinance which directly addresses the evil posed by each activity,” Bennett concluded.
