Resort sees turbines as big ill wind
Rep. Harris hears inlet complaints
Business people, officials follow up PSC ruling with outrage and major concern
Fishing community says its tired of Corps studies and wants action to be taken
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Ocean City officials and business leaders voiced their opposition on wind farms quickly and clearly days after the Public Service Commission (PSC) endorsed two proposals with no guarantees that they wouldn’t be seen from the shore. Carousel Group Managing Partner Michael James has been one of ‘Think about what the most vocal 200 windmills opponents and would do to the took his consunrise. People cerns to Rep. Andy Harris come here to (R-1st) during enjoy that. They’ll a summit on be walking on the resort real esbeach, seeing tate last Thursday and to the these things that business com- are 670 feet tall.’ munity during Michael James Friday’s Ocean Carousel Group City Economic Development Committee breakfast meeting. “Think about what 200 windmills would do to the sunrise,” James said to Harris on May 11. “People come here to enjoy that. They’ll be walking on the beach, seeing these things that are 670 feet tall. They say we’ll benefit from this, but it’s Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey beaches that’s going to benefit.” Supporters like the Business Network for Offshore Wind, a nonprofit that focuses on advancing wind energy, point out there’s a different view of the turbines. “I’ve gone out to the water in Europe’s beaches and you have to strain to see their turbines. But when you see them, they’re like elegant machines against an ocean backdrop,” See HARRIS Page 5

GOP going after Mathias in 2018
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) Maryland Republicans need to pick up five seats in the State Senate in the 2018 election to disrupt a nearly century-old veto proof Democratic majority in the legislature, and the effort, dubbed the “Drive for
Five,” leaves Sen. Jim Mathias in familiar territory: in the center of the bull’s-eye. Mathias is one of six senators being targeted by the GOP in its quest to pick up the five seats. “Worcester County has generally See SENATOR Page 11
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Local watermen and other fishing industry representatives urged Rep. Andy Harris (R1st) last week to lean harder on the Army Corps of Engineers to find a solution to the sandbars and shoals that are hampering navigation of the Ocean City Inlet area. The corps is gathering information on the 53foot scour hole near H o m e r Gudelsky Park (previously known as Stinky Beach) and Rep. Andy Harris its impacts on local waters. But fishermen told Harris during a meeting at L & L Marine Equipment in West Ocean City that the solution was simple: reconfigure the Assateague Island jetties. “It’s been studied to death, and if they studied it, they studied it wrong,” Bahia Marina owner Shawn Harman said. “We see this every day. We live it. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that extending the south jetty at Assateague is causing us problems. It creates a big hook that catches everything.” The Army Corps of Engineers built the jetty to stabilize Ocean City’s inlet when it was shaped by a hurricane in 1933. Before that, the resort and Assateague Island were contiguous. Over the years, sand washed away from Ocean City’s beach is deposited on Assateague in a north-to-south movement.

County budget set, work sessions canceled Includes $1.67M transfer from savings; property tax rate remains at 83.5 cents
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday declared their $199 million budget finished for next year, with neither a property tax increase nor the two remaining budget work sessions necessary for the June 6 adoption. At the end of last week’s work session, expenditures exceeded revenues by about $108,000 as the commissioners largely accepted recommended cuts proposed by staff and only made a few tweaks here and there in the overall document. Budget Manager Kathy Whited
reported cuts in four areas to balance the budget. The first is an $8,900 reduction in the salary allowance, next is an estimated $17,000 reduction in the final rates of hospitalization insurance, followed by a close to $54,000 reduction in the retirement account and an almost $28,000 reduction in social security taxes. With these changes approved, the budget is in balance at $198.9 million. The current tax rate of 83.5 cents per $100 of assessed value is expected to remain in effect next year. The fiscal 2018 budget d0es include a transfer of nearly $1.67 million from the Budget Stabilization Fund, a move a few commissioners strongly objected to at the start of budget negotiations. This transfer is
only about $59,000 less than the initial transfer amount provided by staff at the start of the process at $1.7 million. Budget stabilization money is spent last in Worcester County, so the final amount may change between now and the end-of-year audit, with results due in December. Next year, an election year, the county expects only about $2 million in additional revenues, according to a report issued at the May 4 meeting. County Administrator Harold Higgins described it as a conservative estimate. Expenditures in the report grew along the same lines, with only a $32,000 expected shortfall between revenues and expenditures in fiscal 2019. However, the initial requests by the departments and other ben-
eficiaries of the county plan are likely to exceed this amount substantially. This year, initial expenditure requests exceeded revenues by $6.7 million, last year the number was closer to $6.5 million and the year before that was about $22 million.
Correction In the May 5 article “Kramer honored for saving man after crash behind shops,” the victim’s hospital discharge date was incorrectly named at Jan. 6. The victim was discharged on Jan. 10.

Harris to explore wind leases for Ocean City Continued from Page 1 Liz Burdock, the executive director of Business Network for Offshore Wind, said in a separate interview. The two wind farm projects the PSC approved two ware for separate lease areas, one in the waters closer to downtown and one off the coast of 145th Street. U.S. Wind would use the southern site and install 62 turbines 12-15 miles off the coast, while Skipjack would build 15 turbines 17-21 miles out up north. The PSC’s conditional approval ignores Ocean City Council’s repeated petitions to put the projects roughly 23 miles away. There was a compro-
mise to put U.S. Wind’s project, the one that alarmed officials the most because of its proximity, further back. The PSC said it needed to be located “as far east in the lease area as reasonable.” That was not enough for some real estate and condominium leaders like Delmarva Condominium Managers Association President Joe Groves and Coastal Association of Realtors Board of Directors member Joe Wilson. Wilson told Harris that in Ocean City, several condominiums have a $75,000 price difference, depending on whether the room faces the ocean or the bay.
Terms and conditions apply to two approved wind farms
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) Now that both proposals for offshore wind farms have been granted provisional approval, both US Wind and Skipjack Wind can begin their respective projects in earnest, but are still subject to certain conditions by the state’s Public Service Commission. US Wind had 27 conditions placed on its project, and Skipjack had 28, though the two sets of rules are largely similar in scope — many with minor changes in amounts and percentages. The two companies have until May 25 to accept or reject the conditions. Paul Rich, project development director for US Wind, said the conditions are acceptable to his company, though he expects some specifics to be finalized before the deadline. According to a release by Skipjack’s parent company, Deepwater Wind, the company does not directly
address the May 25 deadline, only that it looks forward to continuing the conversation with the Ocean City community. Addressing the most common concerns and criticisms of the project are conditions that require both companies to use the best commercially available technology to minimize both daytime and nighttime views of the wind farm, as well as above-ground and underwater sound generation. Remaining underwater, both projects are required to develop all appropriate precautionary measures to ensure marine mammals are protected at all phases of the project, and all environmental remediation and mitigation measures though the best commercially available means. Birds are not mentioned in the requirements. As part of the construction project, pile driving is limited to daytime hours only. See TURBINES Page 7

“Obviously, if the value of oceanfront properties go down, then Ocean City has to get that tax revenue somewhere. The town has to change how it operates,” Wilson said. “It’ll be a disaster to our real estate values if you want an oceanfront property and see windmills everywhere.” Groves added. “You’d think you were on some lake, not the ocean.” Harris said he was never a fan of wind energy, but was doubtful that Gov. Hogan or Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen would oppose the projects outright. Instead, he said he would be looking into the wind lease areas through the Department of Interior. “Wind subsidies make no sense for energy. Natural gas and electricity are much cheaper and you don’t need a back-up generator. This should have ended before it started,” Harris said. “The [Trump] administration doesn’t have a problem with changing their minds on leases. They just reversed [on] oil exploration leases.” Meanwhile at a local level, Ocean City council members stayed on message: move the turbines back. “It’s OK if it’s out there and we don’t really see it,” Councilman Wayne Hartman said during the May 12 Economic Development Committee meeting. “It’s $1 million a mile to move them back, and in the grand
scheme of things, for everyone’s happiness. Hopefully, the companies will work with us on this.” Councilman John Gehrig said at the same meeting that because Ocean City’s real estate/tourism industries pay the bills, they should be protected. “It’s reasonable to think that someone may not like looking at a wind farm that extends from downtown Ocean City all the way up. Some people will pause and not want to invest here, and our number one source of revenue is property taxes,” he said. “It’ll impact everyone, from the city to the county to the state.” Burdock, however, said her studies found no decrease in property values in Block Island, Rhode Island, where the first offshore wind farm was installed. “Tourism seems to have increased. Anecdotally, we have heard that thousands of visitors want to see the turbines,” she said. “I believe it’ll be a great attraction, not just for tourism but other industries like shipbuilding and steel, because they’ll be needed. “It’ll also develop other jobs for Ocean City and Maryland, in technical services like construction or those that need to operate the control center,” Burdock said. “You might see 150 to 300 jobs directly as a result from this.”

Turbines required to use best technology to stay out of view Continued from Page 5 Both projects have a decommissioning plan on file with the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management should the projects not work out, and any modifications to that plan must be submitted to both the PSC and BOEM at the same time. Each project is expected to create a certain number of jobs, accounted for by full-time equivalent positions in the PSC report. US Wind is required to create at least 1,298 in-state direct development or construction period jobs and 2,282 direct operating period jobs. Skipjack is required to create at least 913 development or construction period jobs and 484 direct operating period jobs. Both entities are required to submit ongoing, independently audited reports on job creation. US Wind is required to spend 19 percent of capital expenditures in Maryland, and Skipjack is required to spend 34 percent in Maryland. Both projects are required to use a port facility in the greater Baltimore region as the marshaling port, where the components of the project are transported and loaded onto the installation vessel. A port in the Ocean City region will be used as the operations and maintenance port. Both projects are required to maintain an office in Maryland for the life of the project. If there are cost savings via efficiencies or grant funding, which both businesses are required to apply for,
those savings must be returned to the ratepayers at a rate of 80 percent of the savings within six months. There is a threshold of seven percent from the construction report estimate made with each project’s application before the companies have to pay out on realized savings. Additionally, ratepayers, purchasers of offshore renewable energy credits and the state are to be held harmless for any cost overruns. As for the energy credits, US Wind is allowed to sell almost 914,000 at an amount not to exceed $131.93, valued in 2012 dollars, beginning on Jan. 1, 2020. Skipjack is entitled to sell 455,482 at the same rate, beginning on Jan. 1, 2023. Both companies can sell ORECs for 20 years. Skipjack is subject to one condition US Wind is not, which is to conduct comprehensive and timely outreach to both Maryland and Delaware local, state and federal officials and agencies involving, but not limited to the siting of the project. A report summarizing these efforts and any conditions Skipjack voluntarily agrees to must be delivered within six months. US Wind is subject to a condition that Skipjack is not, which is to locate the project in the eastern-most portion of its lease area that can reasonably and practicably do so. The full report of the case and the PSC rulings on the matter are located as Case 9431 found on the public service commission’s website, www.psc.state.md.us.
Pipe valve thefts investigated (May 19, 2017) The Ocean City Police Department is investigating the recent theft of several brass standpipe valves from the stairwells of five mid-town condominium buildings. These valves are used by firefighters to fight fires on upper floors and remote areas of the buildings. Not only are they very costly to replace, but missing valves can potentially endanger the lives of residents and fire-
fighters by hampering the ability to fight fires in impacted buildings. Residents with standpipe systems are encouraged to check their systems immediately to ensure that standpipe valves are intact and report any stolen valves to the Ocean City Police Department at 410-723-6602. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. David Whitmer at 410-5205390 or dwhitmer@oceancitymd.gov.

Rep. Andy Harris, left, attends a meeting with Ocean City fishing community members, including Bahia Marina owner Shawn Harman and resort business leaders such as Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Executive Director Susan Jones, to discuss the Army Corps of Engineer’s latest dredging study. Del. Mary Beth Carozza, right, was also in attendance.
Congressman asked to fight for resort on shoaling issue Continued from Page 1 But two years after Hurricane Sandy hit the island, sand began been building up faster between the two islands, calling for increased amount of dredging. At the moment, the dredge Murden is working the channel, focusing on the shoals were sand is trapped while moving south to Assateague. Of the estimated 35,000 cubic yards expected to be dredged, roughly 10,000 will be pulled from the channel. “When I used to work on a boat, you could go right through the channel and not follow the buoys. There’s so much sand in there now,” Merrill Campbell of Southern Connection Seafood said. “Three years ago, it was only big commercial clammers, drawing 10 to 12 feet that were having issues. Now it’s recreational yachts in the 5- to 6foot draft range that are getting hung up in the same area,” George Topping added. While there’s no definitive answer to why shoaling increased since Hurricane Sandy, watermen also theorized that the beach replenishment project could have something to do with it. “They’re taking out the bottom [of the ocean] and putting it back on the beach in the fall. In December, we have nor’easters, and all that sand is bedded down. That sand [from beach replenishment] is coming down to this shoal,” Campbell said. “It’s not what the corps intended, but that’s what happened. I understand we need beach replenishment, but we need a solution.” The increase in shoaling is also a serious issue in terms of Ocean City’s economy. Several commercial vessels have ceased operations in Ocean City, with their captains and owners contending the trouble isn’t worth it.
Campbell estimated that one boat could provide millions to local economy in terms of seafood, marina costs, restaurants and lodging expenses. Another issue, according to fishing industry representatives, is that traditional fishing grounds are vanishing because of the shoals. “A lot of fishing grounds with twomile shoals are gone now,” Topping said. “And with those big waves that pound on the beach during those storms… it’s a no-win situation.” Harris said he did not have a solution, but made several suggestions that could be discussed with the Army Corps of Engineers during his meeting in June. “Assateague shouldn’t suffer by extending the north jetty,” he said. “We could also change dredging so that everyone puts a little [money] in, state and local, with the Army Corps putting in a lion’s share. That’s how they started beach replenishment. We could even move beach replenishment to the spring.” Harris was also surprised to hear that the corps’ study on the inlet was significantly scaled back. At the end of 2015, Congress approved the Army Corps’ Continuing Authorities Program, which contains a number relatively smaller projects relating to regional sediment management. A hydrodynamic study on the inlet was one of the first projects approved, but later was narrowed to focus on Stinky Beach. “We specifically asked for an overall study, not of one area,” Harris said. A larger study of the entire inlet would take too long and cost too much, corps officials said. A 1998 study of the inlet recommended dredging to 16 feet, but no action was taken.

Senator to run for re-election, Republicans push for his seat nature, and not about being effective. Every day people tell me I’m the only Democrat they vote for,” Mathias said. “I would think the folks of our area … want someone who is effective, not partisan and works well with others.” He said he worked with the governor on revising the phosphorus management tool, which was developed to regulate the amount of chicken manure used to fertilize the soil, and on starting schools after Labor Day, but went against him on certain issues, like renewable energy. “That wasn’t political when I voted for that override,” he said. “I voted for our clean water.” Mathias said he would run again for state senate in 2018. A potential Republican challenger to Mathias in the election, Delegate Mary Beth Carozza, isn’t sure what she’s going to do yet. “I have been encouraged by local residents to run and serve as state senator, and I have not made a decision. My decision will be based on how I can best work with Gov. Hogan to advance our shore priorities, strong local support, discussions with family, and prayer,” she said. She declined to delineate what these priorities were, but said the ability to sustain the governor’s veto is a factor. The GOP last tried this strategy in 2006, which ended with it losing six seats in the House of Delegates and the governorship, as Martin O’Malley defeated incumbent Robert Ehrlich. However, Gov. Larry Hogan took District 38 by 41 points, and every statelevel election Mathias has competed in has been a close one. In 2006, as a candidate in a four-way election for the House of Delegates district 38B, Mathias won with 26.6 percent of the vote, Norm Conway, also a Democrat, took second with 25.1 percent. Republican Michael James came in third with 24.6 percent, and Republican Bonnie Luna finished fourth with 23.7 percent. In 2010, Mathias first ran for the state senate, once again edging out Michael James, and won 50.7 percent to 49.3 percent. In 2014, he faced Mike McDermott and won 51.7 percent to 48.3 percent.

Continued from Page 1 been a conservative-leaning area. It is currently represented by a Republican congressman and state delegate, and overall, District 38 voted for Gov. Hogan in 2014 70-30 percent,” Patrick O’Keefe, political director of the Maryland GOP, said. “We believe Sen. Mathias’ votes on taxes and fee increases, and anti-small business votes such as his vote for the paid sick leave bill are not in line or representative of the views of his constituents.” O’Keefe said the area Jim Mathias has become more conservative, and Mathias will be going up against more resources than he has in the past, and thinks more progressive groups may also run their own candidate against Mathias in Mary Beth Carozza the primary. Grant Helvey, chairman of the Worcester GOP, declined to comment. “The republicans want that seat, and they want it bad,” said Josh Nordstrom, chairman of the Worcester Democratic Central Committee. “It’s going to be a tough fight but we know that were going to have to get out and support Sen. Mathias. Jim is a good man and an excellent public servant. We want to keep him there as long as he’s willing to serve.” “Sen. Jim Mathias is known throughout the lower shore as a bipartisan, common sense leader focused on working for the community, like assisting veterans, strengthening public schools, tackling the opioid epidemic and supporting small businesses, said Bryan Lesswing, senior communications advisor for the Maryland Democratic Party. “Sen. Jim Mathias’s record of bipartisan, community-focused leadership is why lower Eastern Shore residents continue to re-elect him and why he is in a strong position heading into 2018,” Lesswing said. “This appears to be purely partisan in

Nonprofit funding still probed in OC budget Hartman suggests rotating allocations, others push for future payment to hospitals By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Although the Ocean City Council has approved the fiscal year 2018 budget, questions persist about the possibility that resort property owners are donating to nonprofits twice. Councilman Wayne Hartman maintained the position during Monday’s session that Ocean City’s budget allowed for a “double donation,” since it included $92,083 in grants to various organizations in the county. His argument has been that because 54 percent of Worcester County’s revenue comes from the re-
sort’s taxes, the county’s contributions to nonprofits must include a substantial share from Ocean City. “I still wasn’t elected to collect taxes and give them to nonprofts, but I know there’s a difference of opinion here,” Hartman said. “Maybe we can set a certain amount aside each year for funding, so we’re not picking and choosing which ones are a better asset to the town.” He used Atlantic General Hospital an example, which sought $200,000 as part of its $10 million expansion plan. That request was not funded in the FY18 spending plan. “With AGH being there [in Berlin] it saves us a lot of money. If we needed to make runs to PRMC [Peninsula Regional Health System], we would have three paramedics tied up for hours and we’d need addi-
tional medical crews,” Hartman said. “We need to look at setting an amount and nonprofits that don’t get funding can get it next year. It’s a better position than choosing.” Council Secretary Mary Knight said she did receive numerous calls about the council’s decision not to fund Atlantic General Hospital or Coastal Hospice, which requested $10,000. That, and reconsidering who both organizations serve, made her reconsider her stance. “I strongly feel that AGH and Coastal Hospice are critical ... I’m asking that in the second budget amendment [for the FY17 budget] that we have serious discussions on how we can help if there’s additional revenue,” she said. “I believe we have a responsibility to make them what they need to be.”

Councilman Dennis Dare agreed, but said that the time would come when the council considers the strategic financial plan and determines which capital improvement projects should be paid for and how they could increase the tax rate. “Hopefully, with the budget amendment or before the first of the year, we’ll be in a better position to help them, once our crystal ball becomes clearer,” Dare said. Hartman cautioned against adding Atlantic General Hospital and Coastal Hospice on top other expenses, which would add burden on the taxpayers. Council President Lloyd Martin said the budget on the table already prioritizes items for Ocean City. “We have a budget that is responsible. We’re going to have a difference of opinion, but we’ll have something that make sense. Let’s look forward, not backwards,” Martin said. Mayor Rick Meehan agreed that the point of funding the organizations was to assist those that don’t have a revenue source, but suggested the county needed to shoulder more costs. The hospital also received $175,000 from the county in its 2018 budget plan, out of its requested $300,000. Coastal Hospice is set to See FY18 Page 13

Resort sponsors Bikefest in marketing deal City Council inks $25,000 agreement, although some say bikes come out on top
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) The Ocean City Council on Monday agreed to become a premier sponsor of OC Bikefest by contributing $25,000 to the event in exchange for advertising benefits. The Tourism Department recommended that the city sponsor the four-day motorcycle rally after it had worked out a deal with Bikefest organizers to promote the resort’s various fall events. In exchange for $25,000, Ocean City’s tourism logo would appear on signs at the event’s various rallies and on its website. Two full-color page ads would be included in the rally guide. In addition, social media blasts would be planned for the Bikefest networking accounts, where Ocean City’s events are promoted. But Councilman Wayne Hartman, who argued last week against selling liquor at Bikefest, said that inking the deal would be going back on the council’s word. “Last year, when we talked about this, we made it $10,000 and we said no more seed money. This year, we have a twist on it,” he said. “I understand the value of this, but I’m sure
FY18 spending plan passes with ‘double donations’ Continued from Page 12 receive $10,000, the full request, from the county next fiscal year as well. “I do support the hospital, but I think this is a case where the county should support it because it provides services for the county,” Meehan said. “If it takes adding a half cent to the [county] tax rate, that would be a good way to recognize funding for the entire county.” The council voted unanimously to adopt the FY18 budget of $128 million, which includes $84.3 million in the general fund. Property taxes are kept to the constant yield to 46.56 cents per $100 of assessed value. Overall, property taxes will generate $40.6 million, which is roughly a $244,000 increase from last year.

there’s a cheaper way to get these folks. Hopefully, when they’re here, they’ll see what Ocean City is about and maybe make that initiative themselves to come back.” In the last six years, the Tourism Advisory Board gave Bikefest $35,000 a year out of its annual $300,000 allocation to get it off the ground. In 2016, the board asked the city to front $25,000 to help defray entertainment costs, as it already spent its budget. The City Council settled on $10,000, but said it would be the last time. Hartman added that last week’s vote on liquor sales was enough leeway for this event. “I think we gave them all the seed money they need last week when five members up here agreed on liquor sales,” he said. “I heard a rumor of
Jack Daniels having six-figure sponsorship at events when liquor is approved. [I’m] not saying that this is the case here, but we’re helping with $25,000 for them to help us? Sounds like a one-way street.” Mayor Rick Meehan pointed out that it wasn’t unusual for the city to support conventions through print or online ads. “We’ve done that for MML [Maryland Municipal League] and MACo [Maryland Association of Counties]. It’s a point of sales. I think it’s good business to try and stay connected with those individuals,” Meehan said. “If you have 50,000 people come here for Bikefest … we see a lot of them back in Ocean City with their families.” “It probably is good business to advertise, but the difference is that

this is an event that causes a huge amount of overtime for law enforcement,” Councilman Dennis Dare countered. “We don’t have those issues with MML.” Bikefest organizers agreed to a memorandum of understanding with Ocean City that outlines which services the city will supply with reimbursement to follow. This year’s contract includes around $86,000 in services that would be paid back. Even so, Hartman asked that the council see a complete report of services that can’t be reimbursed before a vote. Councilman John Gehrig pointed out the figures were already presented to the council when they approved the memorandum of understanding. “They’re paying us around See GEHRIG Page 14

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) As the dust settled after the Ocean City Council’s do-over vote on liquor sales at OC Bikefest, Councilman Wayne Hartman this week questioned the legality of reversing a vote that on a matter that had been decided. During Monday’s council session, Hartman asked City Solicitor Guy Ayres if the council had the right to reverse a vote if it had been previously voted on. Two weeks earlier, the council shot down a Bikefest organizers’ request to sell mixed drinks at the September motorcycle event. The vote to reject the request was 5-2. But then, in the final moments of the May 8 work session, Councilman John Gehrig revived the matter and got a 5-2 vote to allow mixed drinks, contingent on the approval of the county Board of Liquor Control. Hartman and Council Secretary Mary Knight against voted against the measure. “Was it proper to bring that back up for a vote? I hope we don’t conduct business like that in the future,” Hartman said. “Typically, the parliamentary procedure is that once a vote is taken, that is the vote, unless a member of the [majority] wants to change their vote, not the individual on the losing side,” Ayres told Hartman. “Because without someone on the winning side being willing to change their vote, all you have is rehashing the same thing.” Gehrig made the first motion to approve liquor sales at OC Bikefest, which failed on May 1. He also made the first motion that successfully passed last week, based on an email sent by Bikefest organizer Kathy Michael that clarified how the liquor would be served.
Hartman pressed the matter concerning Gehrig’s involvement, but Ayres said there were little grounds to overturn the vote. Ayres added that since Robert’s Rules of Order, the manual of parliamentary procedures, was not written into the city’s charter, there is no legal backing for Hartman’s argument. “I’m not in a position to say what’s legal. The procedure is whatever the president [of the council] allows,” Ayres said. “Hopefully, the president will all give us a chance when it’s our turn. This isn’t personal, but I’m passionate on formality,” Hartman said to Gehrig. Gehrig did not respond to Hartman’s comments at the time. In a later interview, he said he did not take exception and that Hartman’s comments were “well made” and spoke to larger issues on transparency. “I brought [liquor sales] back up because we had fresh information and I thought it was relevant to the discussion,” Gehrig said. “I absolutely did not bring it up because I knew opinions had changed.” After the first vote, Michael emailed the mayor and City Council, outlining that a shot and a half would be poured into an 8 to 10-ounce glass filled with ice. The drink would later be topped off with soda or lemonade. “I think she sent that because she wasn’t given the opportunity to speak,” Gehrig said. “But there was no backdoor meeting on this.” When Gehrig ran for council in 2016, he ran on a platform of providing the council new voice, instead of adding to a chorus, and being upfront with the public. Five months into his term, he’s seeing no evidence of transparency issues. “I’m committed to having issues out in the open, but I’ve seen no evidence of prepackaged votes. I haven’t seen evidence of the council meeting and deciding the vote before the session. It’s a good group,” he said.
Gehrig: Contract doesn’t give event free ride in Ocean City Continued from Page 13 $20,000 in police, $16,000 in public works in the overall fees. They draw around $41 million in lodging, $19 million in food and beverage, and others to an overall $69 million spent,” Gehrig said. “Some think this is a good buy, some people don’t. I’m not going to argue with them, but we’re not giving them a free ride.” The council voted 5-2 to accept the sponsorship deal, with Hartman and Dare dissenting. The $25,000 will come out of the Tourism Department’s sponsorship budget for fiscal year
2018, which is funded out of room tax. Council Secretary Mary Knight, who also serves as the chair of the Tourism Commission, said that she had high hopes for this deal, and if it did not work, she would be the first to change her mind on future Bikefest deals. “This is going to be very good for our fall events, especially, with the 25th anniversary of Winterfest coming up. I’ll be the first to say that if we saw the analytics and they’re not good, we will re-evaluate this,” she said.

POLICE/COURTS
Tampering with autos The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several incidents in Berlin and Ocean City where the lug nuts of the wheels on cars are being loosened. Two Stephen Decatur High School students were the first to report these crimes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at 410-632-1111.
DUI Casey William Fore, 30, of Baltimore, was charged for driving under the influence on May 13, hours after his birthday. Ocean City Police were called to a convenience store on 29th Street for a welfare check around 2:30 a.m. When they arrived, they saw a vehicle with a man, later identified as Fore, sitting in the driver’s seat. While police were watching, Fore opened the car door and vomited on the street. Fore also had bloodshot eyes and smelled like alcohol, the report said. A friend who was with Fore told officers that Fore was drinking at a nightclub earlier in the evening. He
said that Fore had driven to the store but “he wasn’t this bad when we left.” The store’s security footage showed Fore driving the vehicle in the parking lot. When Fore failed field sobriety tests, he was arrested. A breathalyzer showed his blood alcohol content was .11.
Destruction of bathroom Police arrested a Holliston, Maryland man for allegedly destroying an air vent, a soap dispenser, and a toilet paper dispenser in a bar bathroom in the early hours of May 14. When police arrived at the midtown bar, employees had detained Jacob C. Hathaway, 21, who they said had destroyed a bathroom. A witness said he saw through a window Hathaway standing on a toilet to destroy the bathroom air vent. Employees said they had to force the door open because Hathaway had blocked it. Police said there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling where the air vent had been and the toilet paper dispenser was torn from the wall. Toilet water was all on the bathroom floor,
as someone attempted to flush a sizable wad of toilet paper, the report said. Hathaway was charged with three counts of malicious destruction of property.
Domestic violence A local man was charged with assaulting his wife around 2 a.m. on May 14. When called to a residence at 43rd Street, Ocean City Police interviewed a woman with a bloody nose. She told police that she had been awakened by the sounds of James Hill Jr. stumbling around the kitchen. Hill had been out drinking, she said. The two argued over his cell phone, and Hill allegedly punched her in the face. She then tried to crawl to the bedroom, but Hill punched her five more times, the police report said. Hill is out on a $10,000 bond. His trial date is set for June 14.
Burglary in pool house Martin S. Wessells, 21, of Federalsburg, Maryland was arrested for breaking into a midtown hotel’s storeroom last Saturday.
Police were called to a hotel on 42nd Street on May 14 for a report of an in-progress destruction of property. When they arrived, they found Wessells slumped over a drum of chlorine in the pool chemical store room. When asked why he was there, Wessells said “f*** you, I’m not a criminal.” He was charged with fourth-degree burglary.
Disorderly conduct Officers arrested a 22-year-old man after he punched vending machines and threw debris at passing cars around 33rd Street on Wednesday. Police saw a man without a shirt or shoes walking on the road and carrying a plastic light around 2 a.m. on May 17. The man, later identified as Matthew Vine of Fairfield, Connecticut, allegedly broke the light and threw the pieces in Philadelphia Avenue as cars were driving past while he yelled obscenities. Vine continued walking until he reached a vending machine in front of a condominium. He punched the machine, the report said. Vine was charged with disorderly conduct.

White Marlin Open trial starts Mon. Tournament officials think winner violated rules and withheld $2.8M grand prize
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The trial in the case involving alleged rules violations by the winner of the 2016 White Marlin Open is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 22 in United States District Court in Baltimore. Philip Heasley of Naples, Florida, landed the only qualifying white marlin during the 43rd annual White Marlin Open, held Aug. 8-12, and his 76.5-pound catch was worth $2,818,662. But White Marlin Open organizers announced on Aug. 23 there was a “possible violation” of tournament rules and the prize money would be held pending the determination of the proper recipient. According to tournament rules, all anglers winning $50,000 or more may be required, at the discretion of the WMO directors, to take and pass, at the determination of the examiner, a polygraph examination. On Aug. 13, Heasley and David Morris, captain of the Kallianassa, took polygraph tests.
According to court documents, analysis of the polygraph data was “not possible and was inconclusive” when Heasley answered “no” to several questions. Tournament officials said “deception” was indicated when Morris was asked the same questions. Because neither was adjudged to have passed the polygraph examination, Heasley took a second test on Aug. 21. Examinations were also administered to Kallianassa mates Kyle Bohannon and Joseph Hagen. Tournament officials reviewed the Kallianassa catch report for Aug. 9 upon reading the examiner’s report of Bohannon’s polygraph examination and his pre-test interview when he mentioned the time they put lines in the water. The time written for Heasley’s boated white marlin on Aug. 9 was initially 8:15 a.m., but it appeared to have been altered to read 9:05 a.m. The time of 8:15 would have been a violation of tournament rules. Lines are not permitted to be in the water until 8:30 a.m. On Aug. 22, Heasley was advised that he, the Kallianassa captain and two mates – the only ones on the boat – did not pass the polygraph tests and would not receive prize money
for the first-place white marlin. Heasley rejected White Marlin Open’s request to execute a release that would allow tournament officials to distribute the money to 13 winners in the other divisions (blue marlin, tuna, dolphin, wahoo and shark), who were all included as defendants. That was why Open directors felt the need to ask the courts to intercede and make a decision. The case was moved from Worcester County Circuit Court to U.S. District Court in early September. On Nov. 18, United States District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett ruled the polygraph test results will be allowed and the case will remain in federal court. The case was also realigned. The 13 other winners in the tournament who were listed as defendants were moved to the plaintiff side. The case was re-titled as “White Marlin Open, Inc. et al. v. Philip G. Heasley.” In the months leading up to the trial date, including this week, a number of motions and responses were filed. The case was originally set for trial in September, but it was moved up to May. The 2017 White Marlin Open tournament is scheduled to take place Aug. 7-11.

Receptionist escorted from Town Hall by SHPD in April
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) Responding to a Public information Act request by Ocean City Today and the Bayside Gazette, the Town of Snow Hill has confirmed Erica Holland’s employment ended on April 25, the day she was escorted from Town Hall by police. Holland served as the town’s receptionist and was hired on January 27, 2014, according to Kelly Pruitt, town manager. While conflicting reports of Holland’s status were received from town and county officials, what is clear is that police removed Holland from her workspace during business hours. The response by Pruitt confirms Holland was also separated from her position on that day. No charges have been filed against Holland, but Mike Lupiwok of the county’s Criminal Bureau of Investigations confirmed an investigation is taking place. He declined to elaborate on its status or reasons for it. Holland is married to Fulton Holland, assistant warden at the Worcester County Jail. Because of the recent death of Warden Garry Mumford, Fulton Holland, along with Donna Bounds, both assistant wardens, are in charge of the day-to-day operations of the jail, County Administrator Harold Higgins previously confirmed.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) The Worcester County Board of Education announced Tuesday that Buckingham Elementary teacher Dr. Steve Rorke had resigned from his post. Rorke was placed on administrative leave in September, days after he was charged with theft. The math resources teacher was found guilty of 16 charges of theft less than $100 by Judge Brian Shockley in Circuit Court last month. Theft less than $100 is punishable by 90 days in prison or a $500 fine. Rorke was also acquitted of theft under $10,000, which is a felony. According to Maryland case search, several of the crimes were committed over a two-month period starting in February 2016. Rorke will be sentenced on June 23.

State’s attorney attempts to take office into 21st century Records digitization project in works for old case files as part of county budget
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) The advance of digital solutions to analogue problems has been transforming the way social interactions, business relationships and governmental structures have worked for decades, and as costs continue to fall for things like data storage, efficiencies continue to emerge. The criminal justice system in Worcester, for example, continues to be heavily reliant on paper — with the exception of the courts, which have recently migrated to an online-only system. All but gone are the days when the clerk of the court hands the judge a bulging oak tag folder containing an entire case’s history and in its place is a monitor. That change has not yet trickled down to the lawyer level, and as some court cases are months-long or even years-long affairs, the problem of what to do with it all moves to the forefront. This year as part of ongoing budget negotiations, Beau Oglesby, Worcester’s State’s Attorney and Phil
Thompson, treasurer, are hoping to partner to begin digitizing some of the old files. Part of Thompson’s staff includes a team dedicated to copying and scanning old files, and Oglesby hopes to access these employees to process some of the old case files that are overflowing filing cabinets, lining the walls and taking over precious office space. It’s a big job, and will take considerable time to complete, but Oglesby believes the time spent will be worth it. As it stands now, if a new filing or item needs to be added to one of his case files, Oglesby said he must either find the folder himself, or get administrative staff to pull the jacket. He can then review the document, add whatever notes or letters he needs to, and then have the file returned to its proper place. This could happen multiple times per day, in an office staffed with 10 lawyers and full caseloads. “I really don’t need all of this,” Oglesby said holding up a two-inch thick folder with one hand, “when what I need is this,” he said, raising a two-page document to be included with the filing. Digitizing the records would allow Oglesby, on his own, to pull up the case file, get what he needs and

close it. Oglesby said much of the paper he’s storing is redundant anyway — the case files exist elsewhere in the courts and at the various law enforcement agencies, and the only things that could be lost is the lawyer’s own work based on the files, such as notes and the like. But the primary reason for the project isn’t speed or convenience, it’s space. The William G. Kerbin Building in Snow Hill, which opened in 2009, is running out of space. Oglesby said by leveraging the technology that already exists, and has existed for about a decade al-
ready, he can change a 100-squarefoot footprint for storage to zero square feet. Plus, the digital copies can be backed up, transferred or delivered on the fly, negating the concern of data loss should there be a fire or flood at the office. Right now, Oglesby is preparing documents to be scanned and copied into digital files, anticipating commissioner approval on June 6, and isn’t quite sure what he’ll do with the reclaimed space. He is certain, however, of one thing — having much more space in the office would be “a great problem to have.”

Man pleads guilty for sex offenses in summer assault Three more set to appear in court for attacking teenager in midtown OC hotel room
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) A man who was charged in a sexual assault that occurred in Ocean City last year pleaded guilty in Snow Hill Circuit Court in Snow Hill last week, agreeing to a statement of facts detailing a seconddegree sex offense and filming child pornography. Elmer E. Casco-Hernandez, 21, of Silver Spring, Maryland was one of five men who assaulted a 17-year-old girl in a midtown hotel room last summer. He was also charged with second-degree rape, assault and other sex crimes, but he accepted a plea deal with Assistant State’s Attorney Diane Karsnitz on May 10. Worcester County State’s Attorney also offered the same deal to Kevin J. Caceres, 20, of Rockville in April for his involvement in the crime. Both Casco-Hernandez and Caceres were charged with assaulting the teenager in December after an investigation Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Ocean City Police Department. The case began on June 14, when a Worcester deputy arrested Erick H. Ramirez, 21, of Silver Spring for allegedly having drugs in his car. The deputy confiscated Ramirez’s
phone when he was arrested. On his phone, police found several video recordings that showed five men assaulting an unconscious girl in a hotel room. Ocean City Police tracked down the hotel using the phone’s metadata. The investigation also identified the men as Casco-Hernandez and Caceres as suspects, as well as Erick Ramirez, Ronaldo Ramirez, 20, and Anthony Alvarenga, 20, of Rockville. Casco-Hernandez and Caceres were identified on the phone’s recording. Clips on the phone also show Ronaldo Ramirez allegedly raping the teenager. Worcester County police later interviewed the victim at her home in Rockville, where she told officers that she was in Ocean City for Memorial Day weekend. She took a Xanax pill she received from Alvarenga, whom she knew from high school, according to the state’s evidence. The next thing the victim remembered after taking the pill was waking up the next day with her clothes not properly put on. Casco-Hernandez’s sentencing was set for an unknown date, as the victim wanted to be present to make a statement. Caceres’s next court appearance is June 7. Ronaldo Ramirez’s trial date was scheduled last week, but was postponed to July 18.

El Galeon Andalucia, a 16th century Spanish Galleon that docked in Ocean City to offer tours in 2014, may come back this summer.
Spanish Galleon could sail back to Ocean City this year Ship replica last moored in resort in 2014, officials would need to strike deal
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) A 16th century Spanish Galleon replica could be sailing back into Ocean City this summer, but the Recreation Department’s special events staff wants to evaluate the costs before inking a deal. Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller told the Recreation and Parks Commission last week that early discussions had taken place with the Nao Victoria Foundation to bring back the El Galeon Andalucia between Aug. 2-20. The 170-foot tall replica ship visited the resort in August 2013 and 2014. During those summers, Ocean City worked with the National Air, Sea & Space Foundation, which served as a middleman for the ship. This time, resort officials would work with the Nao Victoria Foundation, the nonprofit that sponsors the vessel. With the National Air, Sea & Space Foundation bowing out, Miller said the city would now be responsible for some expenses. “There were definitely costs the foundation had absorbed last time, and that would fall on us. For example, we’d be looking at costs associated with TowBoatUS, the company that checked the water depth and escorted the vessel in and out,” Miller said. “There were times in 2014 they couldn’t bring the vessel in, so they had to taxi staff coming in and out to their hotels.” In early talks, the Nao Victoria Foundation agreed to front some costs, like a few hotel rooms, fuel ex-
penses, ticketing and tent setup. But Miller said that Ocean City would provide water usage, security, portable bathrooms and trash collection. He added that the city is looking in to provide an electric support with Delmarva Power, but the ship could operate on its generator if a connection couldn’t be established. As for the matter of security, Miller said Ocean City Police traditionally provides support, but a contractor could be hired if necessary. While Ocean City would take on additional costs, Miller said the deal for projected revenues would stay the same. “Typically, the vessel would provide 10 percent net profit of ticket sales and 30 percent net profit from whatever receptions they have aboard the vessel,” he said. “It’s the same deal that the [National Air, Sea & Space] foundation had.” Councilman Wayne Hartman, who serves as the commission’s chair, pointed out that this deal would depend on Nao Victoria Foundation’s word. “This isn’t 10 percent if they sell 100 tickets at $10. It’s 10 percent of what they deem as their profit,” Hartman said. “But we can’t control their business and operational costs.” History also shows there was a demand for receptions aboard the El Galeon Andalucia. In 2014, three receptions were held in the 14-day period the ship was in Ocean City. Special events staff would evaluate the costs of mooring the Galleon to Ocean City and would later present its findings to the City Council along with a draft of a memorandum of understanding. “We’re talking about setting this for the end of August, so the sooner the better,” Hartman said.

Construction begins at St. Paul’s By-The-Sea in resort Groundbreaking ceremony held last Saturday for new addition to Third St. church (May 19, 2017) Construction company Gillis Gilkerson has begun work on the addition for St. Paul’s By-The-Sea Episcopal Church at 302 North Baltimore Ave. in Ocean City, were a fire four years ago claimed the life of pastor, the Rev.

Dingwall and one other person died in the blaze. “The fire was traumatic for the parish and the entire Ocean City community,” said Dwight Miller, president, Gillis Gilkerson. “We are grateful to have the opportunity to help a longstanding and reputable church rebuild to continue its mission of serving others.” The addition will be equipped with a larger, more modern elevator, additional storage space, a new ground level lobby, gathering space at the sanctuary level, office and small meeting space, and a new driveway.

pansion fills the void left on the north side of the church created by the demolition of the rectory and will create a positive presence on Baltimore Avenue and facing downtown Ocean City. “We are very pleased with how the project has proceeded so far,” said Tom Shuster, St. Paul’s By-The-Sea Episcopal Church construction liaison. “The Gillis Gilkerson team was very thoughtful and considerate with our staff while developing the scope of work and reaching a contract. They were off and running the exact day they said they would be.” According to Gillis Gilkerson project manager Don Murray and superintendent Charles Morris, the new addition is set for completion in December.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Several Ocean City government department heads said this week their needs for seasonal workers are being met with the traditional start of the summer season little more than a week away. Some, like the Beach Patrol, are seeing an uptick in summer staff numbers after struggling to fill their ranks last year. The Beach Patrol traditionally seeks 200 lifeguards in the stands from Memorial Day to late September, but most their staff have jobs that start in the fall. “This is our best recruiting season ever,” Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said. “We’ve offered 83 people positions, and that’s more than we’ve ever had. That means with returning lifeguards, we’ll have more personnel and they could stay later in the season.” At the moment, 120 lifeguards are interested in returning to the resort, but Arbin said that number could decrease. Beach Patrol held three tests so far at colleges and in Ocean Pines, and 25 people signed up for the last test on June 3 in Ocean City. “We’re going to re-evaluate when we get closer to the test to see if there’s a drop,” Arbin said. “But this is why we tell people to test early – it fills up quick.” Like OCBP, the Ocean City Police Department has seen a spike in seasonal officers, thanks to its aggressive campaign that involved college visits, job fairs and social media outreach. Chief Ross Buzzuro told the Police Commission last week that there were 77 summer officer recruits. “That’s about 30 more than last year. We’re optimistic about the summer,” Buzzuro told city officials on May 8. “We had our seasonal officers in their first week of academy last weekend and nobody dropped out, so that’s a good sign.”
Still, Ocean City Police seasonal officers have been on the downturn for the last few years, when the city could easily meet a quota of 100. Retention was also low this year, with only four seasonal officers returning for the job. “At best, we might be able to get three years out of them,” Buzzuro said. “The market is so saturated. We need to work hard to make sure we get the new ones this year to come back next year.” Other department heads like Transit Manager Mark Rickards said the bus driver recruitment numbers are on track with last year, with 158 operators signed. City officials set a target at 162 drivers for this summer. “One-fifty is the number we definitely aim for, and we’re still hiring for backup drivers. The difference is now, we’re accepting people who have their CDLs [commercial driver’s license],” Rickards said. “In the past … we’d teach classes on how to drive the bus after they got the permit from the DMV.” Ocean City has already met its goal for tram drivers and conductors with 24 people for each position, but it still seeking to fill two supervisor positions. Public Works is having some struggles hiring its goal of 87 seasonal staff. Solid Waste Division is aiming to meet its goal for nine garbage truck drivers and a seven-man crew for them, with all positions filled but one truck driver. The maintenance division is having a harder time meeting the 71 hires it wants. Right now, 58 people have been brought on. “We’re having some issues with jobs like comfort station attendant and laborer,” Public Works Director Hal Adkins said. “These jobs could range from painting a street corner to putting up fence at the inlet lot for events like Cruisin’. They’re jobs people here don’t want to do, so we’re waiting for J-1 students. That also has limitations, like if they can drive or not.” The maintenance division is waiting for nine J-1 visa students to arrive this summer, but will manage short-staffed until mid-June.

OC resident seeks justice in ‘The Keepers’ Seven-part series examines claims of sexual abuse at Seton Keough High School
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Ocean City resident Gemma Hoskins appreciates tenaciousness. The retired Harford County school teacher and a close-knit group of cohorts have spent years investigating the nearly half century-old unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik in Baltimore. Now, they are bracing for the national media spotlight with today’s release of Netflix’s seven-part documentary series “The Keepers.” On Nov. 7, 1969, Cesnik, an instructor at Archbishop Keough High School, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school in Southwest Baltimore, was reported missing. Two months later on Jan. 3, 1970, her body was discovered in a nearby wooded area. The murder, which happened during Hoskins senior year, took place after Cesnik left Archbishop Keough on plain-clothes duty with Sister Helen Russell Phillips. “She and Russell were going to take part in a social experiment and teach in public school and live outside the convent,” she said. “They
weren’t actually leaving the sisterhood but the kids they taught didn’t know they were nuns.” Hoskins met Cesnik in 1966 during her freshman year at Archbishop Keough and she felt an instant affinity for the 20-something nun. “She was my English teacher and the first day she walked into that room, I can’t even describe what it felt like because she was this breathe of fresh air,” she said. “She was like Julie Andrews in the ‘Sound of Music.’” Because many of the nuns at the school were older, Hoskins said, Cesnik’s youthfulness and upbeat demeanor endeared her to pupils. “Most of the nuns, when I had to speak to them directly, made me want to cry,” she said. “She (Cesnik) wasn’t scary and was always smiling.” At the same time, according to a lawsuit filed many years later, Father Joseph Maskell, who taught religion classes at Keough, was abusing some of the students. Maskell, who died in 2001, has long been suspected to have been involved in Cesnik’s murder. “We knew nothing about what was going on,” she said. “When I think there was just a one-inch door between us walking in the halls and what was going on in the chapel, his office, (and) his bathroom. How did we miss that?”
GREG ELLISON/OCEAN CITY TODAY
OC resident Gemma Hoskins is beginning a national media tour to promote the just-released Netflix documentary series, “The Keepers,” which highlights ongoing efforts to solve the decades-old murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik.
It wasn’t until years later, in the 1990s when two women filed suit alleging abuse at the school, did Hoskins become aware of it. “One had retrieval of memory and the other one remembered all the time but nobody would ever listen to her,” she said. “They were Jane Doe and Jane Roe.” As part of the lawsuit, which targeted Archbishop Keough and church
officials, attorneys sent letters to alumni asking anyone with knowledge of Maskell’s sexual abuse to come forward. “They got over 100 responses,” she said. As it happened, many of the students shared a bond with Cesnik, Hoskins said, with some trusting her enough to tell her of abuse by Maskell. “Can you imagine these 15-, 16-, 17-year-old girls coming to her and saying the Chaplin is raping me?” she said. “She’s 26 and she takes on this role of telling them she’s going to take care if it.” Hoskins said criminal charges were not filed at the time of the lawsuit because the statute of limitations for victims to report child sexual abuse is seven years after turning 18. She also noted that retrieved memories were not yet admissible in court. In 2005, Hoskins was contacted by Tom Nugent, a veteran newspaper reporter with the Baltimore Sun, who had taken an interest in solving the mystery after interviewing a number of Maskell’s alleged victims during the 1990s. “He said, ‘Gemma let’s get some Chinese food and solve this thing’,” she said. Nugent’s subsequent article, “Who Killed Sister Cathy,” was rejected by a number of major publications.

‘In the beginning, the two goals were finding the killer and having resources and a safe place for those who were abused at Keough.’ Gemma Hoskins “The Sun wouldn’t publish it, the Washington Post wouldn’t publish it, the New York Times wouldn’t publish it because they said there were too many legal ramifications,” she said. “‘The City Paper (Baltimore) published it and it made a huge impact.” Yet the furor died off and the mystery faded from the public’s consciousness. Hoskins, however, reignited the quest for justice in 2012 when she contacted Nugent. “Out of the blue, I wrote him an email one day and said, ‘When are you coming back to finish the story?’” she said. This began the latest chapter in the unsolved murder mystery, which by Hoskins’ accounting has generated roughly 8,000 emails with Nugent. Joining the effort was another Archbishop Keough alum, and fellow Ocean City resident, Abbie Schaub. “She and I sort of spearheaded the whole thing,” she said. “I’m extremely right-brained [and] she is way leftbrained, so it worked.” Their efforts lead to the creation of a private Facebook page for Archbishop Keough alumni, some of whom were abuse victims. “It’s about 500 women and they’re not all victims,” she said. “Most of them are friends and family members who went to Keough.” In short order, a public Facebook page, “Justice for Catherine Cesnik and Joyce Malecki,” was established to delve into the unsolved murder. “Joyce Malecki was a young woman from the same parish where Maskell was the pastor and she was found murdered four days after Cathy disappeared,” she said.

With the abuse scandal at Archbishop Keough continuing to fester, Hoskins said the decision was made to close the institution this June. “When Keough was full, there were 1,200 girls,” she said. “This year there’s probably 40.” Hoskins said that with renewed focus on Cesnik’s murder, and alleged sexual misconduct by Maskell, the victim list, which currently tallies over 40, may expand. “It would make sense that more people would come forward because he [Maskell] was moved from parish to parish,” she said. “It’s wrong. If he had been thrown in jail in the beginning none of this would have happened.” (Victims and others have theorized that Maskell killed Cesnik because she was about to reveal information about the abuse. He was removed from the ministry in 1994 and died in 2001. He denied any having any knowledge of abuse at the school. Earlier this month Baltimore County detectives had his body exhumed for DNA testing, with plans to compare it to crime scene evidence).

Staley honored for longtime public service By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Officially signaling his retirement from public service, former Planning and Zoning Commission member John Staley was honored by the city last week. Staley served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for 27 years, and officially stepped down from his post last January. He was replaced by Joe Wilson, a Realtor who serves on the board of directors of the Coastal Association of Realtors.
“Twenty-seven years is a long time to serve in any capacity,” Mayor Rick Meehan said during the ceremony on May 9. “He’s played an important part of a lot of the new changes in Ocean City over the years. I’m not sure how they’re going to replace the wisdom and common sense John Staley brought to the planning commission.” Over the decades, Staley oversaw Ocean City change from a summer resort into a thriving small community throughout the year. Meehan said that his colleagues on the plan-
ning commission were feeling his loss, but were excited that he could enjoy some of his hobbies. “He can enjoy retirement and do all the things he loves to do — like water skiing and skydiving,” Meehan joked. Staley has also been active in several local organizations and boards in the last years. To name a few, he served as president of the Worcester County Library Commission, served with the American Legion Synepuxent post #166 and the Ocean City Veterans of Foreign
Wars post #6650. He was also a member of in the St. Andrew, St. Luke and St. John Neuman Catholic Parishes. “It’s not just his leadership on the planning commission. John has been a leader in various capacities in this town. He is truly a leader in our community,” Meehan said. Planning Commission Chairwoman Pam Buckley added that it was a pleasure to serve with Staley. “I can’t think of a finer man. He endeavors to keep this community the best it can be,” she said.

Carozza, Mathias, Otto report to Ocean City Legislative representatives of resort, Worcester County meet with business leaders
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Ocean City and Worcester County’s legislative representatives updated local business leaders on the events of the past session of the Maryland General Assembly during last week’s Economic Development Committee meeting. Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38), Del. Mary Beth Carozza (R-38C) and Del. Charles Otto (R-38A) all sang praises of the last legislative session’s successes and how they help maintain a strong tourism economy for Worcester. “We have $12 million tourism budget overall,” Mathias said. “I remember when Fish [Roland Powell] was mayor, and he imagined a comprehensive resort with a convention center. First, we thought we just needed mother nature to shine sun on you, but to be global, we needed to expand.” Mathias and Carozza both pointed to the third planned expansion of the performing arts center, with $500,000 in funding, as an example of the state’s commitment to Ocean City. “The mayor did a tremendous job

towns with full funding in place by 2020, did not get the votes needed, but he was optimistic. “It’s not where we want it to be, but it’s headed in the right direction,” Otto said. Looking at government in a broader scope, Mathias said we should be looking at Washington D.C. and how its actions would ripple across the region. One example he pointed to was the federal government backing out of Chesapeake Bay restoration as a part of $73 million cuts from the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget. “I hope we were all looking when they took the money out of Chesapeake Bay and it was put back in,” Mathias said, referencing Congress’s pledge to restore the funding. “You let those waters get foul, those waters we play in and where commercial fishermen make their living, we’re all in trouble.” Ocean City and Worcester County officials also thanked the Economic Development Committee members for playing a vocal role in this year’s session. Carozza said that members’ comments to the General Assembly carried a lot of weight. “When you come to Annapolis, call or send emails, it reinforces the strong positions we take on behalf of the Ocean City business community and employees,” she said.

Private softball complex granted exception Scaled-back version from application approved after neighbor complaints heard
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) The dozen or so neighbors to a proposed training facility for a girls’ softball travel team had no problem with the organization, the idea or the intentions behind it, but they did take issue with the project’s design, the possibility of increased traffic and what they say is a lack of communication by the organizers. The facility is proposed for a parcel of land close to the Route 113 and Route 90 junction south of Showell and west of Ocean Pines. The founder of the softball club and contract holder on the land, Shawn Eisemann,

said he wanted to build a place for the team to practice that would be their own, and not have to deal with the hassle or travel time associated with moving between fields. Eisemann said because his contract was set to expire, and the deadlines had passed for the next meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals, he needed a ruling rather than having to continue the conversation during the session last Thursday evening. Which happened anyway. Neighbors, residents and Eisemann himself addressed the board for a couple of hours detailing what the facility was going to be, what it was intended for and how it would be put to use. Eisemann provided a drawing of the proposal, which was the first time any of the residents said they had seen any sort of rendering, and what they saw left them horrified: four softball fields outfitted with a total of 28 lights for nighttime play, bleachers, concession stands, dugouts, batting cages and support buildings for storage. Eisemann said the drawing represented the best-case scenario, which included all the things he wanted instead of what he needed to get underway.
The highlighted parcel, now vacant, is where Shawn Eisemann has been approved to build a practice facility supporting a local girls’ softball travel team. Other residents took issue with the scale of the project, not the intentions behind it, and the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a trimmeddown version of Eisemann’s original plan.
The eventual goal, Eisemann said, was to host tournaments at the site, but he didn’t think it would be happening any time soon. The board factored that into its ruling, when it decided it would allow Eisemann’s idea to proceed, but on the condition that no tournaments would take place there, only one field
would be built and it could not be illuminated, the organization would be prohibited from playing on Sundays and the entrance would be gated. The board left open the option to construct support buildings on the property. Eisemann may reapply to change the exception he was granted one year from now.

Previous zoning deemed error because many uses prohibited by site location
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) Because most of the uses allowable by a zoning special exception don’t work for the 2.65acre parcel sandwiched between Route 611 and Sinepuxent Road in
West Ocean City, the land will be rezoned. Appearing before the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday, attorney Joe Moore successfully argued the previous zoning for the land, done in 2009, was a mistake and thus grounds for a rezoning. The change in designation will allow the property to be used as a site for two restaurants, which is the current plan.
When zoning was established in Worcester during the 1960s, the land was zoned for agriculture, but was rezoned into the business district in 1997 where it stayed until the 2009 comprehensive rezoning reclassified it to the A-2 designation. The commissioner, however, agreed to rezone the property for commercial use. The site is too small and narrow for most agricultural uses, and too See COUNTY Page 31

The highlighted parcel has been recently rezoned from agricultural to neighborhood commercial, because most allowable uses under agriculture are prohibited due to the lot’s small size and location close to the Ocean City airport. The owner hopes to develop the sites into two restaurants.
County finds neighborhood would benefit from services Continued from Page 30 close to the runway of the Ocean City airport and its restrictions for any sort of profitable agricultural interest, Moore argued. In addition, it lies within Ocean City’s navigational easement for the airport, which prohibits other uses such as radio towers or wind turbines. The county’s planning commission also agreed that a commercial use would better serve the adjacent neighborhoods. Moore asked that the zoning be returned to the business district classification, which now exists as C-1 commercial neighborhood. Though early in the process, a proposed site plan features two freestanding buildings, each with its own parking lot, able to house a small eatery of about 2,500 square feet each. Traffic engineer Betty Tustin said
the restaurants would not be significant traffic generators on the roads, and compared them to Sello’s in West Ocean City, which is roughly double the square footage of one of the proposed sites, but is also not seen as a significant traffic generator on Golf Course Road. Tustin said the most recent traffic data, from 2013-2015, suggests the local roads would remain relatively safe, and that safety could even be improved by squaring off the intersection with airport road by adding a fourth leg to the intersection and providing “right in, right out� access. That plan, she said, still needs to be ratified by the State Highway Administration. Nine accidents occurred in the area during the time studied, she said, with five at the intersection with Airport Road and three featuring some kind of driver impairment at the time of the collision.

County poultry house meeting mostly amicable Industry complaints about landscaping, setbacks and buffers heard, explained
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) When dozens and dozens of people attend a public hearing on new legislation, they’re usually angry about something. When poultry farmers and industry representatives crowded into the county commissioners meeting room on April 25 for the public hearing on more stringent regulations for chicken house placement in Worcester County, some sporting pro-poultry buttons on their shirts, the stage was set for a showdown. But that didn’t happen. Some questions were more pointed than others: a family from
Pocomoke City wondered about their options concerning a farm under construction near their home, and Kathy Phillips, executive director of the Assateague Coastal Trust, pushed for even stronger regulations, but for the most part the hearing was amicable. The changes made are sweeping, but not complex. First, poultry operations were given their own heading under zoning code, rather than existing as a subsection of other portions of the code. This sparked some smaller changes throughout the county’s laws, producing plenty of paperwork for a relatively minor alteration. Generally, the measure concerns the use of land to grow, breed and feed fowl, but not process them for human consumption. The new code also groups these operations into three categories by size: small,
medium and large, with different requirements for setbacks and the number of units allowed on a certain lot size on each. The designations are based upon the number of poultry houses with a gross floor area of 44,000 square feet or less. Small operations are defined as containing not more than one, medium from two to four and large from four to eight poultry houses on a parcel. Small operations would require no buffer, medium operations require a buffer where tunnel ventilation — the large exhaust fans seen on the houses — is employed, but only where ventilation fans emit its waste, and large operations require buffers to surround the poultry house. The new code also sets rules for how existing poultry houses, not subject to the new provisions, could be
repaired, reconstructed or even upgraded. Jim Passwaters and Bill Satterfield, both representatives of the Delmarva Poultry Industry — a nonprofit trade organization operating on the lower shore, said their primary concerns were with the buffers. Passwaters said the organization has found that warm season grasses are the most effective filters they’ve found for the exhaust fans commonly installed on chicken houses, but only when placed about 20 feet from the fan. The current version of the new requirements provides for a 50-foot setback on poultry houses. Ed Tudor, the county’s development review and permitting director, said there was nothing in the code preventing owners from installing grasses within the setback, but reminded the audience that grasses require maintenance. Satterfield said he would like to see lifted the requirement that vegetative buffers are installed before the certificate of occupancy is issued, because of certain tree shortages and other problems. Tudor said the request is a common one, but the requirement is the same for all the other uses in the county, residential and commercial included. Without that rule, those buffers would never be installed, he said. “We wind up chasing people for days, weeks or months. If we start giving extensions, it will be a nightmare chasing them down,” he said. Chicken farmer and former commissioner Virgil Shockley was concerned about the numbers. By manipulating the square footage of houses, Shockley said it was possible for an owner to exceed a limit of only eight houses allowable per parcel. Tudor explained that the operative phrase in the code limiting the number of houses is “or less,” meaning the hard limit couldn’t be exceeded.

Atlantic General begins offering PET/CT scans Tests more precise than X-ray, MRI or CT images to learn stage, site of cancer (May 19, 2017) The Regional Cancer Care Center at Atlantic General Hospital will begin offering PET/CT scans this month with a new PET/CT system (positron emission tomography combined with a computer axial tomography), which offers early and highly accurate detection of cancer.
PET/CT is an imaging procedure that provides physicians with information about the body’s chemistry, cell function and exact location of disease. The precise images obtained with PET/CT are not available with other technologies, such as X-ray, MRI, or CT alone. The difference lies in the ability of the PET/CT equipment to combine or “fuse” the images of the PET scanner (metabolic function of cells) with the CT scanner (anatomic

This combination of the metabolic information from PET and the anatomic information from CT places PET/CT at the forefront of cutting edge technology allowing physicians to more accurately stage and treat patient disease processes. For oncology patients, PET/CT is used to determine the exact location and stage of cancerous tissue and can prevent unnecessary surgery and biopsies and inappropriate treatments. “Providing PET/CT right on our hospital campus will give patients and their physicians easier access to the imaging necessary to best monitor and treat their cancer,” said Michael Franklin, president and CEO of Atlantic General Hospital. “It’s another step toward the completion of the John H. “Jack” Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center, which will open in May 2018.” Atlantic General will begin offering the new service next to the Atlantic Health Center at 9714 Healthway
Drive, in Berlin, on May 18. A physician’s order is required for PET/CT scans. Atlantic General Hospital has been providing quality health care to the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties in Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware since May 1993. Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospital’s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin combines old-fashioned personal attention with the latest in technology and services. It provides quality specialty care such as weight loss surgery, orthopedics, outpatient infusion and chemotherapy for individuals with cancer or blood/autoimmune disorders and a comprehensive women’s diagnostic center.

County approves bid, backup for Shore Spirits Two offers by same parties accepted for liquor store on Ocean Gateway in West OC
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) The partnership of Ankur and Kailas Patel submitted two bids for the Shore Stop liquor store — as the county continues the process of divesting itself of wholesale and retail liquor distribution — with one accepted as the primary offer and the other as the backup plan. The top bid is for about $550,000, which includes almost $63,000 for the purchase of assets and a 40 percent markup on the inventory currently valued at about $255,000. The markup would bring the cost of inventory up to about $357,000. This
offer is contingent on the continuation of the 10-year lease signed by the county in February 2013. Their second bid removed the contingency obligation to the landlord, but also moved some other numbers around. The second bid includes the rent due under the current lease, a total of $130,500 plus a premium to the county of $100 per month. It offers $50,000 for the purchase of assets and a markup of 25 percent on the inventory, which comes to about $318,000, for a grand total of just over $500,000. As part of both bids, the county commissioners agree to accept, approve and support the buyers’ application for a Class A liquor license and grants permission for the request to be heard at the June 21 meeting of the Board of License Commissioners. According to the bid documents,
Ankur and his wife, Asmitaben, operate the Friendship Food Mart about one-quarter of a mile from Shore Spirits. If Ankur and Kailas Patel are not able to secure a liquor license or their funding dries up, county staff recommended a bid by Ashwin Patel, who county documents say is also under contract to purchase the Worcester Plaza Shopping Center, where the Shore Spirits store is located. As part of his bid, Ashwin agreed to relieve the county of its lease agreement immediately upon settlement, and agreed to pay a little more than $485,000 for the store and its contents. Ashwin also has more experience in the market that the other parties, as he owns and operates liquor stores in Smyrna and Rehoboth Beach. The county formally adopted an
exit strategy at the end of 2015 to divest itself of the wholesale liquor operations by July 1, 2017. At the time, the county estimated it would lose between $1 and $2 million on the effort, though the former head of the department thought that amount couple double or triple. The county’s other retail liquor location, Shore Spirits in Pocomoke City, sold for $1.175 million to Kalpesh Patel of Berlin. Audited figures on the profit or loss in selling off county assets and shuttering the department are expected by the end of the year.
J/R’s Ribs spot on 62nd to become Denny’s in August Cowboy Coast fined $4K for improper inventory purchase
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 19, 2017) Of all the real estate on Ocean City, the one parcel that’s caused the most speculation and conjecture is the former site of J/R’s Ribs, which has greeted visitors entering the resort at 62nd Street since 1980, and closed in 2015. That site has been reimagined by Mark Rommel as a Denny’s franchise, and is set to reopen in the middle of August. Rommel owns five Denny’s restaurants, including the one in Fruitland, but is doubling his portfolio to 10 restaurants in the near future. Rommel told the Board of License Commissioners on Wednesday he’s spent about $1 million on the interior and exterior of the building and will be importing a design element from the Las Vegas strip to the Coastal Highway cruise — a 16-foot tall fork to be displayed on the sign. The restaurant will be open 24 hours a day, seven days per week, and will be permitted to sell beer, wine and liquor, just not at all hours of the day and night. Alcohol sales are to end at 2 a.m., and the owners said they would follow the same procedure they do in Fruitland, by locking up the bar section after last call. What they promised not to do was to repeat the situations that led to three violations at the Wicomico County restaurant. The first was for refilling vodka bottles in 2006, the next was for sales to an underage person and the last was for an incident at a fundraiser where a person was outside with a drink, which was prohibited by the license at the time. The vodka violation was explained by there being a small amount in one container that was used to top off another of the same brand. The inspector noticed the bottle was overfilled in See ST.

St. Patrick’s Day purchasing snafu leads to hefty $4K fine Continued from Page 34 relation to the others, and thus wrote the violation. Because the former J/R’s was known as a place visitors where could get a drink, the license commissioners approved the application. The commissioners also held a hearing on whether Cowboy Coast violated the terms of its liquor license by possessing alcohol purchased under a different account with Republic National, one of two licensed wholesalers in the county. Mark Bogosh is the manager of both Cowboy Coast and Plug Ugly’s Publick House in Fells Point, Maryland. Plug Ugly’s is owned by Bogosh’s mother. Bogosh had two separate accounts with the wholesaler, as required by law, however the account for Cowboy Coast was frozen due to nonpayment of a balance. Bogosh said this was because a check had been lost, but was unable to produce a copy of the check or email confir-
mation of his conversations with the wholesaler about the situation during the hearing. Bogosh was ordering supplies ahead of the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Ocean City, which would be the first time since New Year’s Eve Cowboy Coast would be open. So, he ordered inventory for both operations on his Plug Ugly’s account, and drove some of it down to Ocean City, and had some delivered. The comptroller’s office was alerted to the situation by an anonymous tip, which was believed to be the distributor itself by Bogosh and his attorney, Joe Moore. The comptroller dispatched Mark Baton to investigate, who then found about 100 bottles of liquor purchased for Plug Ugly’s at Cowboy Coast. Bogosh was fined $4,000 by the board, and given until Monday, May 22 to pay the fine. If the payment is not received, the board will suspend Cowboy Coast’s license until such time the fine is satisfied.

WP boys’ lax team brings home 8th championship title
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team celebrates after its 17-10 victory over Saints Peter & Paul to earn the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title last Friday in Berlin.
WP Lady Mallards top Sabres, 17-10, to win ESIAC title
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game between the Worcester Prep and Saints Peter & Paul girls’ lacrosse teams was a tight battle early, but the Lady Mallards pulled away and held on to win 17-10 on their home field in Berlin. “They played incredible. Everything that we’ve been working on all year came together and they just worked so well together,” Prep Coach Brooke Hahn said. “The transitions all the way from the goalie to the offense were seamless. It was great. We were really proud of them.” The visiting Sabres tallied two goals in less than four minutes to start the game. Goals were traded after that. Tied 5-5, Worcester went on a four-goal run to pull ahead 9-5 and the Mallards led 10-6 at halftime. “We had confidence the whole time. We weren’t worried. We just had to kind of kick it into gear a little bit,” Hahn said. “It’s always about draw controls and when we get them we get that confidence and when we start making shots, which we did, it starts to come together.” Senior Karlie Southcomb increased Worcester’s advantage to five about three minutes into the second half. The Mallards held a three-tosix-goal lead throughout the half. Senior captain Leigh Lingo, who

was sidelined when Worcester lost 119 to Saints Peter & Paul on April 11, led the Mallards with six goals. She also won four draws. “It was really hard. I wanted to go out there and help my team [during the April 11 game],” Lingo said. “I was really excited to get back because we lost last time, and to seek revenge and try and beat them.” Lingo said it was exciting to win her fourth consecutive ESIAC championship and lead the team to its fifth in a row. “It’s my last game and I wanted to give it all I had and set an example for the younger girls,” she said.
Senior captain Julie Talbert chipped in with five goals and one assist. “It feels good. On the stat sheet I’d rather have assists than goals, but it’s also nice to get goals and to help lead the team,” Talbert said. “We had a really great season. It’s been really fun and it’s been a really great learning experience.” Southcomb tallied four goals and two assists and freshman Carly Hoffman netted two goals.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) A seven-goal run in the third quarter shifted the momentum in the Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team’s favor and the Mallards went on to win their eighth consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship last Friday, topping the Gunston Day Herons, 12-8, in Berlin. “We played kind of shaky to start, but that third quarter really sparked us,” Worcester junior captain Tucker Brown said. “I think that really took us to the next step. When we scored three or four in a row it opened the gap a decent amount and we weren’t looking back.” The Mallards led 3-2 at the end of the first quarter. Worcester pulled ahead 5-2, but Gunston netted three goals to tie the score 5-5 going into the halftime break. “I was impressed with [Gunston’s] game plan. I thought they came out and played a great game,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. “We played right into their hands in the first half.” Gates talked about shot placement with his players during the break. “Their goalie is a big kid and we were shooting high. Big kids have a tough time getting down to their feet, so you’ve got to shoot low,” he said. “That’s what we told them at halftime – to shoot low. That was what won the game for us.” “We got together as a group and hyped each other up and were ready to go,” junior captain Sam Cantello said. “We knew we had to get them now.” Worcester rattled off seven goals in eight minutes to pull ahead 12-5. “When it was 5-5 I was OK, but worried the guys would panic a little,” Gates said. “When I looked up and it was 10-5 I felt better.” Gunston tallied two goals and at the end of the third quarter, the Prep team was ahead 12-7. The Herons netted one goal in the fourth. Cantello led Worcester with four goals and one assist. “It was just a team effort,” he said. “A lot of times it was my teammates giving me the ball – I was the last one to get it and put it in. Everything was through the offense and we moved the ball well.” Senior Reid Carey chipped in with three goals and Brown had two goals and three assists. Senior captain Patrick Petrera contributed two goals and one assist. Sophomore Owen Tunis netted one. Senior goalie Rayne Parker stopped three Gunston shots. Players who received All-Conference honors were recognized following the game. See MALLARDS Page 38

Mallards pick up momentum with seven-goal run in third Continued from Page 37 Brown, Petrera, Cantello, sophomores Cooper Richins and Cole Berry and senior captain Max Bisaha were named to the All-ESIAC Team. Parker earned an honorable mention distinction. Brown was chosen as the 2017 Player of the Year. “It’s very exciting. I got it for basketball too,” Brown said. “My teammates really helped me out throughout the year. If I didn’t have this team around me I definitely wouldn’t be able to put up some of the numbers I do. “It’s definitely not an individual show. Everyone kind of contributed to it,” he added. Brown led the team this year in scoring (68 goals), assists (24) and points (92). The ESIAC title in lacrosse was his third for the year. He, along with Cantello and a few others, won championship trophies in soccer and basketball as well. “I won it for every sport this year to bring in the three-peat, which is always nice,” he said. “I’m only a junior so hopefully I can get three more next year.” Worcester finished the season with a 13-6 record. Gates presented the Team MVP Award to Bisaha. Petrera
received the Coach’s Award. Richins was awarded Most Improved. Gates also nominated Brown for the “C. Markland Kelly Award, honoring the best high school lacrosse player in Maryland. Gates said the season had its ups and downs, with some adversity. “I would like to have a few games back, then we beat Parkside, who we lost to last year,” Gates said. “It was our first good win of the year. Then we beat a scrappy Indian River team.” But the crowning achievement, he said, was defeating Calverton, 13-11 – the first time in program history. “To be on the sideline for that is something I’ll never forget,” Gates said. “It’s a great program win.” “We were shaky at spots, but we had some big wins down the stretch,” Brown said. “I thought we fought hard all season. We came out with definitely a positive attitude. We really came together and finished strong.” Nine seniors will graduate next week, all of whom contributed to the team’s success. Many of the underclassmen got playing time this season and a core group will be returning next year, including leading scorers Brown and Cantello.

Southcomb led the team in goals (48) this season. She also had 18 assists and 19 draw controls. Senior Madison Bescak was presented with an honorable mention distinction. Worcester finished the season with a 12-4 record. “I was very happy. We had ups and downs a little bit here and there, but it all came together in the end,” Hahn said. “We always believed they had the talent so it was nice to see it come to fruition [during the championship].” Hahn presented Leigh Lingo with the team MVP Award. Despite missing three weeks due to an ankle injury, Lingo still scored 26 goals and led the team in draw controls (40). “We had some tough loses, but I think our team definitely worked together, stepped it up and got a lot better throughout the season, which is nice,” Lingo said. “I love my team. I love playing with them. They’re all great girls and I’m excited to see how far they go next year.” Talbert received the Coach’s Award. She scored 30 goals and had 37 assists this season. “I’ve had a lot of fun here at Worcester,” Talbert said. “We’re all really supportive of each other and we really love each other.” Hahn gave sophomore Chloe Ruddo the Most Improved Award. Hahn said she enjoyed her first season as head coach. “I got blessed with a great group of girls,” Hahn said. “The eight seniors all the way down to the new freshmen, it’s just such a great group of girls. I got really blessed with that for my first year as head coach.” Despite graduating eight players, Hahn thinks the team will be strong next year with talented players returning.

Decatur boys’ 1,600m relay wins Bayside title By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The Stephen Decatur boys’ track and field team finished in fifth place during last Wednesday’s 16-school Bayside Conference championship meet in Cambridge, while the Lady Seahawks came in 10th in their competition. “Overall, I thought the boys did pretty well. We were missing some girls that are key contributors [because of] injuries, so we were a little weak on the girls’ side this year,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “Overall, I thought it
was probably the strongest Bayside meet since I have started coaching [six years ago], in terms of competition, which is good. Nine Bayside records were broken at the meet.” North Caroline won the boys’ competition, scoring 124 points. Rounding out the top five teams were Kent Island (82), Cambridge (79.5), Wicomico (62) and Decatur (61). Junior Tah’jeem Woodland was the only Decatur athlete to win an individual event. He crossed the finish line first in the 400-meter dash (49.53 seconds). Woodland finished second in the
100-meter dash (11.04 seconds) and in the 200-meter dash (22.16 seconds). “Standout performer for the boys was Tah’jeem Woodland, who won the 400 and ran the anchor leg of the 1,600 relay team,” Stigler said. Joining Woodland for the 1,600meter relay team were seniors Wyatt Davy and Cameron James and sophomore Chad Fischer. The boys earned first place and the Bayside title (3:33.9). “I was really impressed with the boys on the 1,600 relay team. They have really been working hard over the last few weeks and it showed in that
relay,” Stigler said. “The 1,600 relay is always tough because it is the last event of the meet so everyone is tired, but I thought they showed a lot of heart performing well when they are tired.” Seahawks who scored points for the team for placing eighth or better in their individual events were James (800meter run, fourth, 2:06.43), Davy (high jump, sixth, 5 feet 6 inches), junior Jack Reimer (3,200-meter run, fifth, 10:48.77), seniors Gavin Payne (shot put, third, 42 feet 7 inches; discus, fifth, 118 feet 5 inches) and Patrick Miller See DECATUR Page 40

The 1,600-meter relay team of, from left, sophomore Chad Fischer, junior Tah’jeem Woodland and seniors Cameron James and Wyatt Davy, won the Bayside title in their event during the conference championship meet, held last Wednesday in Cambridge. Woodland also won the 400-meter dash and finished second in the 100and 200-meter races. Seniors Claire Billings and Gavin Payne earned a spot on the podium for placing third in the 800meter run and shot put, respectively.
Continued from Page 39 (shot put, seventh, 39 feet 2 inches). “I also thought that Gavin Payne in the throws did well and has continued to improve and work hard throughout the year,” Stigler said. “Jack Reimer ran his PR in the 3,200. I thought he ran well.” Seniors Avonte Purnell and William Thompson, junior Montrel Moore and sophomore Daymont Mercer came in eighth in the 400-meter relay race (46.72 seconds). James M. Bennett won the girls’ competition, tallying 121 points. North Caroline was runner-up with 104.5 points. Queen Anne’s placed third with 98 points. Decatur recorded 21 points to finish in 10th. Scoring points for the Seahawks’ squad for placing eighth or better in their individual events were seniors Bethany Williams (triple jump, eighth, 31 feet 4 inches) and Claire Billings (800-meter run, third, 2:26.58), sophomores Dori Krasner (800-meter run, eighth, 2:41.45; 1,600-meter race, seventh, 6:15.22) and Adriana Serpe (100meter hurdles, seventh, 18 seconds) and freshmen Bridget Buxbaum (high jump, fifth [tie], 4 feet 8 inches) and Caela Berrie (high jump, seventh [tie] 4 feet 8 inches). Billings, Krasner, senior Peyton
Dunham and freshman Caroline Gardner crossed the finish line fifth in the 3,200-meter relay race (11:04.06). “Standout performer for the girls was Claire Billings, who came in third in the 800 and ran on the 3,200 relay,” Stigler said. “She did really well in the 800, but the field was really strong this year [and] in almost every event.” The two-day 3A East Regional championship kicked off yesterday, Thursday, at Reservoir High School in Fulton, Maryland, and will continue on Saturday. The top four finishers in each event and anyone that reaches the qualifying standard will advance to the state meet, slated for May 26-27 at Morgan State University in Baltimore. “I think we have a good chance to have a couple people advance to the state meet, but we will have to see how everything plays out this weekend,” Stigler said. “To do well, I think we have to prepare mentally for the regional meet. “We are really at a disadvantage in our regional meet because we have to travel over three hours to get there,” Stigler continued. “That is really tough on the kids, coupled with the fact that we have only raced one team in our region all year. If we show up expecting to run our best time and leave it all on the track I think we will do well.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team captured its fourth consecutive 3A/2A East Region championship title, winning Wednesday’s game against the Huntingtown Hurricanes, 12-7. “They played well. We had to get off the bus and do a quick warm up in the heat after being on the bus for a while due to a traffic backup,� Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said. “They were mentally tough and pushed right through. “We got off to a quick start,� she continued. “We dominated the draw. We had possession for a lot of the game, which was crucial.� Decatur, the No. 2 seed in Section I of the 3A/2A East Region, scored five unanswered goals to start the game in Huntingtown. At halftime, the Lady Seahawks led 7-4. Senior captain Christina Romano netted a quick shot early in the second half to proved Decatur with a four-goal advantage. Huntingtown, the No. 1 seed in Section II, answered a few minutes later, followed by a four-goal run by the Berlin squad. “The girls have really grown as a team lately and they deserved the regional title,� Braniecki said. “There’s so much talent on our team.� Senior captain Claire Porter (three assists) and senior Victoria Kerkovich scored three goals apiece. Seniors Brigitte Ardis and Lexie VanKirk, a team captain, (two assists) chipped in with two goals each. Romano (one assist) and junior Caroline Engle netted one shot apiece.

Kent Island cut Decatur’s lead to one with eight minutes remaining. The Seahawks were able to hold off the Buccaneers to secure the victory. “We possessed the ball for a while.

Decatur softball overpowered by Chesapeake By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The Stephen Decatur softball team won its 3A East Region Section II first-round game on Monday, 7-6 over the Hammond Bears, but the following day the Lady Seahawks struggled to produce against the top-seeded ChesapeakeAA Cougars, and lost 14-2. The fifth-seeded Lady Seahawks traveled to Columbia on Monday to face the No. 4 Bears. The home team scored four runs in the first inning. Decatur drove in two in the second and three in the fourth to pull ahead 5-4. Hammond evened it up 5-5 in the fifth. With the score tied after seven, the game went into extra innings. “We enter an international tiebreaker in the eighth, which means
the last out of the seventh inning starts on second base,” Decatur Coach Heather Patnode said. “For us, it was [senior captain] Sam Kefauver.” Sophomore Lexi Black hit a single up the middle to move Kefauver to third. Then Hammond made a throwing error to third that allowed Kefauver to score and Black to reach second. Sophomore Caroline Cardamone singled, scoring Black and Decatur led 7-5. The Bears tallied one run in the bottom of the eighth. “This was one of the best games we have played. It was a team win that was really fun to watch,” Patnode said. “The girls were down after the first and they kept their heads up, their attitudes positive and worked really hard to tick away at the 4-0 deficit to come out with the win. I am super proud of their hard work and dedication to win the first round of playoffs.”
Black threw all eight innings. She struck out seven, walked five and allowed six hits. At the plate, she went 2-for-2 (singles) and was walked twice. Sophomore Alex Richwalski singled twice. Cardamone was 2-for-4 (single, double) with two RBIs. Freshman Amber Whittaker went 1-for-3 (double) with a RBI. The Seahawks got back on the bus Tuesday and took a trip to Pasadena to battle the Cougars. “They were a strong team [with] great hitters [and] strong defense,” Patnode said. “We played the best we could. We made a few errors, but they just hit hard and found holes that we couldn’t defend. We lacked a little offensively. [We] couldn’t find the holes and didn’t take advantage of runners on.” Decatur finished the season with a 9-10 record. “We struggled this season as we
were a young team,” Patnode said. “We took some losses we shouldn’t have, got some wins that we worked hard for, learned a lot from each other, and know what we have to do next year to be a stronger more competitive team. We hurt ourselves more often than we should have [with errors and stranding runners on base], but it was all lessons learned and will help us for next year.” Decatur will lose three seniors to graduation. Kefauver, a utility player/third baseman/shortstop, and right fielders Gina Arrivello and Grace Burton. “With only losing one starter and having a young team, I think we will come back stronger and more competitive,” Patnode said. “If we can fix our small mistakes, become more aggressive at the plate, and be confident in ourselves then we could really be someone to watch out for and expected to be a competitive team.”
Continued from Page 41 minutes left,” Braniecki said. “After that, we were able to hold on to it but we were highly pressured.” Braniecki praised junior Chloe Sass’ performance. “Chloe Sass has been given very large defensive tasks the last few games and she has really stepped up to the plate to help our team handle our opponents’ biggest offensive threats,” she said. Kerkovich led Decatur with five goals. VanKirk had four. Romano and Townsend each scored once. Porter recorded six assists and Mitrecic logged four saves. “They played amazing lacrosse on the defensive end, the offensive end, and transitioning through the mid-
field,” Braniecki said. “Their composure showed their maturity as athletes.” Decatur took down No. 3 Easton Warriors, 17-10, last Friday in Berlin to advance to the sectional finals. “They played with composure and determination. Again, they took care of each other on the field,” Braniecki said. “Some girls had specific roles on the field and they executed their jobs very well, which they could not have done without constant communication and support from [their] teammates around them.” Kerkovich was Decatur’s top producer with seven goals. Junior Lily Belle Baker chipped in with three goals and one assists. Porter had two goals and four as-
sists. VanKirk tallied two goals and won seven draws. Mitrecic recorded four saves. Decatur will battle the C. Milton Wright Mustangs, the 3A/2A North champions, in the state semifinals today, Friday, at 6 p.m. at Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City. West Region champion, Oakedale, and South winner, Glenelg, will go head-to-head. The winners of both games will meet in the state championship, which will take place either Tuesday or Wednesday at Stevenson University. “They worked hard to get here and now they’ve got a regional title and we’ve got our eyes set on a bigger title,” Braniecki said.

SD ‘outgunned’ by strong KI lax team By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) The No. 5 Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team put forth a valiant effort, but the top-seeded Kent Island Buccaneers came out on top, 17-7, in the 3A/2A East Region Section I semifinal round, last Friday in Stevensville. “We played really hard. They kept trying and trying, we were just outgunned,” Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said. “They’re a really good team. It was a good, hard game. I was really proud of them.” Senior Robbie Duke and junior captain Collin Eichelberger had two goals and an assist each for Decatur. Senior captain Tucker Cordial, junior Charlie Coates (two assists) and sophomore Chase Porter tallied one goal apiece. Senior goalie Zac Cioccio stopped 15 Kent Island shots. Decatur advanced to the semifinals after defeating the No. 4 Easton Warriors, 14-12, last Wednesday. “We moved the ball well and connected to the right people. Just good passing, catching and finishing,” Lathroum said. Easton led 3-2 at the end first quarter. Decatur battled back in the second quarter and at halftime, the visitors had a 9-8 advantage. The Seahawks were on top 11-10 after three quarters. They outscored the Warriors 3-2 in the fourth to secure the win. Coates and Eichelberger (one assist) scored five goals each. Cordial tallied four goals and two assists. Duke had three assists. Cioccio recorded 12 saves. Decatur finished the season with a 6-8 record. “We were 4-9 last year, so I’m happy with [a 6-8 record],” Lathroum said. After graduating 15 players, many of whom were key contributors, the team struggled a bit last year as only seven of the 24 players on Lathroum’s roster were varsity veterans – and just three of them had been full-time starters in 2015. A majority of the players who competed in 2016 returned this year more experienced at the varsity level. Injuries early in the season took a toll on the team, Lathroum said, but once everyone returned he was pleased with how the group came together as a unit. “You could see a different team at the end of the season – the confidence level, the work ethic, determination,” he said. “We got some good wins. They were excited. “I was happy with the season,” he continued. “Of course you want more wins, but the way we started with so many injuries … when you see yourself getting better, you’re happy. The kids had fun. I had fun. It was enjoyable.” The team also had depth this year and Lathroum said he could sub players in and out and not lose a step on the field. The team will graduate eight players and all of them played important roles, Lathroum said. A core group will return next season, and with the addition of some talented players who competed for the JV team this year, Lathroum thinks the 2018 squad will be competitive.

SD baseball team falls to JMB, 7-6
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 19, 2017) After trailing 5-0, the Stephen Decatur baseball team battled back to within one late in Monday’s game against the James M. Bennett Clippers, but the Seahawks were unable to score the tying run, and their season ended in the 3A East Region Section II semifinals. “I thought we played fine. We just went down 5-0 in the first,” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said after the 7-6 loss. “They kept fighting. It’s just hard to come back. “That’s baseball. We had our chances and just didn’t come through,” he continued. “We had the

bases loaded three times.” Third-seeded Bennett put five runs on the board in the first inning. Decatur, the No. 2 seed, scored one in the first and two in the second to cut the lead to two on its home field in Berlin. The visiting Clippers tacked on two in the third and the Seahawks answered with one in the fourth. Decatur drove in two in the bottom of the seventh to pull within one run, but the home team couldn’t capitalize with the bases loaded. The Seahawks finished the season with an 11-9 record. “They battled all year. They’ve never really laid down,” Ferro said. “There were a couple hiccups here
and there, but in general they battled back. They want to win and that’s why they’ve been successful. From where we started, I didn’t think we’d be Bayside South champions.” The team will lose five players to graduation. “They’re hard-to-replace guys. They played hard,” Ferro said. He thought the season went well overall. “Like I said, from where we came from, I think they showed a lot of grit, kept on hitting, trying to get better and they bought into working hard,” he said. “There’s a core group coming back. We’ll see if they get better in the offseason and what we do next year.”

The Dunes Manor Hotel on 28th Street in Ocean City, was officially opened on April 1, 1987 – April Fool’s Day. On April Fool’s Day 2017, owners and their families, from around the country, gathered at the Dunes Manor for a business meeting, a special high tea and dinner to celebrate Milton and Thelma Connor’s dream come true, the Dunes Manor and Suites.
Dunes Manor Hotel celebrates 30 years in resort
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) On April Fool’s Day in 1987, 74-year-old Thelma Conner opened Dunes Manor Hotel with the intent on providing superb hospitality experience in an old-Victorian charm atmosphere. Thirty years later, her traditions continue on 28th Street. “A lot of hotels in Ocean City have changed or evolved,” said Joanne Cunningham, director of sales and marketing for the hotel. “Miss Conner’s vision still remains and everyone feels it. We want to continue to support and carry her visions forward.” Guests can wake up to oceanfront views from rocking chairs on the front porch, meet a new friend during daily tea and crumpet hour in the lobby at 3 p.m. or catch Shirley Toms play the piano on weekend nights from 7-10 p.m. The Dunes Manor Hotel has 170 oceanfront rooms with free Wi-Fi and private balconies. Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, meeting rooms, the Victorian Room Restaurant and the Zippy Lewis Lounge bar. An outdoor beach bar also sells food and drinks during the summer. “This property has a natural charm that Miss Conner built over time,” said General Manager James Garcia. “Guests want it to stay the same and it’s a tradition that has carried on.

A pirate from Jolly Rogers will also stop by. In addition, there are a number of social media contests. In 1940, when Conner was in her 30s, she moved to Ocean City with her husband, Milton, to work at his family’s Hasting’s Miramar Hotel. “What she learned about guest interaction and activity from working at Hastings made for a memorable ex-
perience [for hotel guests at Dunes Manor],” Cunningham said. “Filling the lobby with a lot of seating and making sure guests are comfortable while getting to know each other during afternoon tea. Hotel guests and the community knew Miss Conner. She would come out, mingle with guests and serve tea.” The Conner’s decided to purchase the Dunes Manor Court property in 1974, which currently has 49 newlyrenovated rooms, just steps from the beach on 28th Street. “The Court received the biggest transformation to enhance the experience for the customer [in recent See THELMA Page 45
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 19, 2017) Realtor.com has produced a video series on the home-buying process that offers a little brevity, plus some humor, in “The Home-Buying Process in Plain English” with Elizabeth Banks. You may have seen some of the recent television ads promoting the use of realtor.com for home shopping online starring Elizabeth Banks. The more recent television campaign, called “Own Home,” depicts a series of dream sequences in which homebuyers imagine their dream home. Banks crashes in on their dreams with tips for how to find the real home on realtor.com. “Home-Buying Process in Plain English” with Elizabeth Banks, is a fiveepisode series. The episodes are approximately two minutes in length and cover the following topics important to homebuyers (in quotes are summaries of the scripts for each episode): Step 1: Knowing When You’re Ready—“Buying a home is so grown-up and impressive, but there are a few things you should think about before you start telling everyone how grown up and impressive you are.” Step 2: Mortgage Lending 101—“Unless you have a boatload of cash under your mattress, buying a home usually costs more money than you currently have. First, you’ll need a competitively priced loan.” Step 3: The Search—“You’re really doing it! You know what you can afford and you’ve got your pre-approval letter. But before you buy the home of your dreams, you’ve gotta find it first.” Step 4: The Offer— “Here you are, ready to make an offer on your first home! And since you’re about to part with an insane amount of money, it’s time to get close to your Realtor.” Step 5: Closing the Sale— “There is nothing more awesome than taking ownership of your new dream home. But before you do that, you better loosen up your writing hand. Did someone say paperwork?” If you are new to the home-buying process, or if it’s been awhile since you’ve purchased a property, realtor.com’s new video series is a humorous way to familiarize yourself with the steps involved in buying a home and what to expect along the way. — Lauren Bunting is an Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Thelma Conner brings hotel idea to life at age 74 Continued from Page 44 months],” Garcia said. “Bringing the property up-to-date demonstrates the owner’s commitment to invest.” By 1977, Thelma and Milton Conner built the Dunes Manor Suites. Currently, the property has 64 rooms with ocean-facing balconies, spacious bedrooms and a full kitchenette. “They always wanted a Victorian hotel and 10 years later, Thelma builds Dunes Manor,” said William Mariner, current owner of Dunes Manor Hotel along with his wife, Susan, and Conner’s three daughters and their families. Unfortunately, Milton died in 1979. But Thelma brought their idea to life on April 1, 1987 using inherited land on 28th Street. “Lots of folks in Ocean City told Thelma that a 74-year-old woman couldn’t possibly launch and run a 170-room hotel, but she believed that she could, and the Dunes’ enduring success has proved all her doubters wrong,” Garcia said. “With so many naysayers calling her decision foolish, her sly sense of humor was on display when she decided to officially open the hotel on April Fool’s Day.” More than one million guests have stayed at the Dunes Manor property

Peninsula Home Care earns top ratings in state survey
(May 19, 2017) Peninsula Home Care, a licensed and certified home health service provider headquartered on the Lower Eastern Shore, recently announced its Salisbury and Ocean Pines branch offices have achieved deficiency-free ratings upon completion of a major Maryland performance survey. “A deficiency-free rating is equivalent to an entire classroom of students getting an A+ on an exam,” said Nancy Bagwell, Peninsula Home Care area director of operations. “It is a stamp of approval from the state after a thorough inspection process. “Peninsula Home Care did not have a single inefficiency, which is an accomplishment that very few agencies are able to achieve,” she continued. “We are proud of the entire PHC team for their hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence in patient care and outcomes.” State surveys are mandated every three years on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS administers compliance procedures of Medicare health and safety standards for continuing care providers including home care agencies, hospitals, nursing
homes and other facilities serving Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Agencies are evaluated on patient rights education, positive patient outcomes, medical error prevention, appropriate staff qualifications, emergency preparation and performance improvement data. “The four-day surveillance period involves close monitoring of our staff and operations,” Bagwell said. “State surveyors review patient records and accompany nurses and therapists on home visits to trace the patient experience, evaluate the care being provided and examine patient outcomes. In basic terms, they are looking to confirm that the plan of care provided meets the patient’s needs.” Providing care for more than 30 years, Peninsula Home Care ensures that all patients are involved in their plan of care and strives to give them every opportunity to maintain their independence in the home. The agency has served more than 39,000 patients on Delmarva and has been named to the “Home Health Care Elite” three times in six years. For more information, visit www.peninsulahomecare.com.

Atlantic General promises care in 30 minutes (May 19, 2017) Atlantic General Hospital and Health System’s walk-in clinics are now offering a 30-minute promise to the community: patients will begin to receive care within 30 minutes of arrival. The healthcare organization decided to expand its 30 Minute ER Promise, initially offered to patients in Atlantic General’s ER beginning in 2007, to its Atlantic ImmediCare walk-in clinics as part of its 2020 Vision to provide the right care in the right place. In many cases, costly emergency room visits can be avoided, if individuals have convenient access to primary care that fits their schedules. “Atlantic ImmediCare is committed to providing timely, quality care. Our walk-ins are here for the community
and its visitors so that they can receive the treatment they need, when they need it and with the least expense, and get back to their day,” said Andi WestMcCabe, director of emergency and urgent care services at Atlantic General Hospital. “If, for some reason, we are unable to meet our promise, the patient will receive a small gift card as a token of our appreciation for their patience.” Atlantic ImmediCare has two locations in Worcester County – Healthway Drive in Berlin, on the campus of Atlantic General Hospital, and on 10th Street in Ocean City. Both offer free, offstreet parking and providing the convenience of a provider after hours or when a patient can’t see their own physician. No appointment is necessary and both locations have extended hours, in-

Hot rods, customs, street machines, muscle cars, rat rods and classics from 1976 or earlier will be on display at those locations. “The event has something for everyone,” said event promoter Meredith Herbert. “It’s a great opportunity to see some sweet rides, check out new automotive products and visit with people who share a love of cars.” Highlights of the weekend include appearances from celebrity Erik Estrada, who is best known for his role as “Officer Frank Poncherello” on the television show “Chips.” He will be in the convention center on Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the inlet on Saturday during the same hours and at the inlet on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to pose for photos and sign autographs.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) To kick off National Safe Boating Week, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will celebrate with free activities including tours of boats, demonstrations, educational booths and games for children at the West Ocean City public boat launch ramp at the Commercial Fishing Harbor, from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday. “We are promoting safe boating and educating the public,” said LTJG Zach Hall, USCG Ret., USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 12-5 Ocean City. “Boating is fun, but can be dangerous. Taking precautions make you well prepared and these essential safety tips should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds all summer long.” The event will begin with a number of guest speakers including U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary District Commander Todd Monis. Del. Mary Beth Carozza will present a proclamation before talking about new legislation on bow-riding safety and Capt. Quincy Shockley from the National Resource Police will stress the importance of wearing a life jacket. A representative from the senator’s office will also be on hand. All attendees are encouraged to wear a life jacket because 90 percent of people who drown in recreational boat accidents are not wearing one. At 10:30 a.m., organizers will gather everyone wearing a life jacket together for a picture in hopes of beating the Guinness World Record of 10,917 people. There will be a number of activities for children including a heaving line contest where they have to pass a heavy line and a life jacket relay race. Attendees can take free tours of the Coast Guard motor life boat, the Ocean City Fire Department boat and the Maryland Resources Police boat. There will be exhibits and activities on marine safety, ecology, environmental stewardship, fishing tips and regulations in addition to knottying demonstrations. Navigation See BOAT Page 52

Keller Williams’ staff volunteer at, support Diakonia
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) More than 50 volunteers from Keller Williams Realty spent the day last Thursday working on various projects at Diakonia. “Joel Feldman and his team showed up ready to work and were able to accomplish all the projects they had scheduled,” said Anna O’Neill, communications coordinator for Diakonia. “We can’t say thank you enough to each and every team member for supporting our organization with their work ethic and commitment to Diakonia.” From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Keller Williams’ employees partnered with Diakonia in West Ocean City, for its annual “Red Day,” where the largest brokerage in the country gives back to local communities and nonprofits. “We decided to partner with Diakonia. We are here for the day,” Feldman said. “We have a crew painting, people organizing the food pantry and guys landscaping and cutting the hedges. Another group of volunteers are helping to clean and organize the thrift store.” Keller Williams Realty employees also plan on having toy, food, coat, scarf and glove drives throughout the year to help Diakonia, a nonprofit providing food, housing and counseling to area residents in need.
“Keller Williams’ ‘Red Day’ brought 50 volunteers to Diakonia to complete several critical projects around our facilities,” O’Neill said. “We rely on volunteers to complete such tasks, so that we can effectively use our resources to serve the community.”

Gifts Fulfilled in running for $25K
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 19, 2017) Gifts Fulfilled owner Kim Shanahan spent a day of mentorship and networking in Dallas on April 28 to help build her business after being named an American Small Business Champion on March 23 by SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer business experts. Shortly after starting her business in September of 2015, Shanahan teamed up with the Worcester County Developmental Center in Newark, Maryland, to provide employment for the nonprofit’s clients who have disabilities. “My best experiences are going to WCDC and working with clients,” Shanahan said. “Everyone should have a day like I do during production. Everyone is so positive and uplifting. They support each other and love working in teams. They love this job, learning these skills and take pride in their work. I leave feeling amazing.”
The Worcester County Developmental Center clients assemble and create gift baskets for baby, birthday, get well and special occasion-themed including student care packages, Mother’s Day and Easter-themed presents, which are then sold on Amazon and the Gifts Fulfilled website. During her trip to Texas last month, a number of speakers who are experts in their fields spoke to the winners on a range of topics from marketing and financial essentials to social media and email tips. “Media experts gave interesting presentations and it was great to meet all these different people,” Shanahan said. “They were teaching us things to help build our company and gain better publicity.” Attendees heard from an inventor featured on the television show, “The Toy Box” and the creator of Wendy’s, “Where’s the beef?” slogan. When Shanahan saw the theme of this year’s SCORE/Sam’s Club small
business contest – “What Makes Your Business Unique” – on Facebook in the beginning of February she said she had to enter. She submitted an online application describing the most unique aspect of her small business, the positive impact Gifts Fulfilled has had on the community and her plans on using the prizes to grow business. “It was the most entries they have ever received for the contest,” Shanahan said. “It is super exciting and we want to thank the community for voting for us and getting us this far.” Gifts Fulfilled was one of 102 entrepreneurs who received a $1,000 Sam’s Club gift card, an all-expense-paid trip to the training and networking event last month in addition to SCORE mentoring and publicity throughout the year. The local business is also eligible to win one of three $25,000 grand prizes, which will be determined in early SepSee GIFTS Page 57

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

After bringing the $1,000 gift card home from Dallas, Shanahan purchased items for college care packages, which was just in time for finals. In addition, Shanahan met with her local mentor, Len Kidwell of Bethany Beach, for financial help this week. “We are meeting in person to create a financial model for the business, which is one of his areas of expertise,” Shanahan said. “Owning a small business – you wear all hats. It is nice to talk to someone with business financial expertise. He will help come up with some key metrics to help measure the business quickly and easily. Understanding the numbers and knowing how to pick them out will help with forecasting the future.” Shanahan plans to team up with the Worcester County Developmental Center and Walmart in August to create student care packages before school starts back up again. “Everyone should be so lucky to have the work days that I have over there [at WCDC],” Shanahan said. “They just started doing a skills assessment sheet so clients can go out in the community and show other employers what they can do. Not only can I provide jobs, but enable people to get a job at other places as well.” Worcester County Developmental Center provides employment opportunities, day habilitation training, residential services and community-based support for adults with intellectual disabilities in Worcester, Somerset and Wicomico counties.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker’s recipe for crepes infused with edible flowers By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 19, 2017) As we gear up for the summer season, time to be with one’s self becomes few and far between. Extended working hours leaves little time for home cooking and fast food becomes a recurring reality. I do not know if it is just me or if others have had the same experience, but when I unwrap the fast food I have purchased, it does not have any resemblance to the mouthwatering pictures proudly depicted on the drive-thru’s enticing menu. No matter how you cut it, perfection of symmetry has not made it in my order “to go.” Somewhere assuredness of particular products has gotten lost and wishful thinking simmers to the state of truth. Where’s the beef is alive and well. My beef patty does not extend beyond the bun as advertising suggest. What happened to the crisp lettuce, gorgeous juicy tomatoes and perfectly cut onions? This modification does not measure up and the lasting impression disappoints my visionary
image of what my burger should be. The kitchen is wrought with sensory experiences and is essential to how we perceive and interact with food. You eat with your eyes is the golden rule and should never be forgotten. A food stylist is a culinary professional whose job is to prepare food for photography, video, or film. Making food photogenic can be quite a problematic task. Like the fashion images we see every day, food needs the expertise of a culinary artiste. Following are some of the tricks of the trade that keep consumers drooling and coming back for more. Learning how to plate is crucial. The best photo in the world cannot make bad-looking food attractive. Plating is not just about how food looks on the plate, it involves the entire stage for the scene. At the same time, one needs to consider negative space. Do not be afraid to leave empty spaces, indirectly it highlights the dish of the day. Just remember the food is the star and everything else is subordinate. Lighting is essential and professional lighting produces amazing reSee CREPES Page 60

They flatten the food photo and produce unappealing pictures. Avoid shooting mid-day or in direct sunlight. This type of light can cause unbecoming and harsh results. If you have any dark ingredients, make sure they are on the side of the dish that will be getting the most light. Treat your dish like a model and think of the angle at which the food looks best. Putty or wax is used to hold food in place for that special shot. Sometimes a composition is effective when the subject is in the center of the frame, other times it is more advantageous to place the food
off-center. Height, color and texture are extremely important and for this reason undercooked meat is the preferred choice. Well done meat loses moisture and mass when it is cooked completely. Continuing the theme of height, stacks of pancakes are often supported with cardboard to help the structure of the individual pancakes from collapsing. Motor oil is sometimes used instead of syrup; the consistency of the oil is easier to photograph than syrup. Has one ever wondered just how many types of cereal there are on the market? That being said, can you imagine the number of campaign ads promoting the different cereals? White glue is sometimes substi-

tuted for milk in a bowl of cereal. The glue has a much thicker consistency than milk, and it prevents the cereal from becoming soggy. The glue can also be used to strategically place the individual pieces of cereal for a better presentation. I was the original St. Pauli Girl and witnessed first hand the effects of a food stylist. The photo shoot took place in a warehouse in New York City. A huge replica of the beer bottle was built and I had to climb the stairs and hold the mugs of beer just like the girl on the label. However, the head of the beer was getting lost in the shot. Out of desperation, the food stylist purchased shaving cream. They poured the beer in the mugs and topped it with shaving cream, I could not believe it, but it worked. Chefs need to think of themselves as a food stylist in the sense of making their dishes a work of art. Crepes infused with edible flowers and filled with lemon custard and fresh raspberries are a stunning presentation and will bring out the food stylist in you. The creamy, lemony, custard and fresh raspberries are a perfect pairing with the sweet crepes. Explore the boundaries of beautification and make every dish a stunning display of art. Enjoy! Crepes Infused with Edible Flowers and Filled with Lemon Custard and Fresh Raspberries
Lemon Custard 2 cups sour cream ½ cup milk 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest ¼ cup fresh lemon juice 1 (3.4 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix 2 cups fresh raspberries Crepes ¾ cup flour ¾ cup milk 2 eggs 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 1 tablespoon canola oil
pinch of ground cinnamon pinch of ground nutmeg pinch of allspice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted approximately 12 edible flowers (such as pansies) that have not been chemically treated powdered sugar as a garnish 1. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice and pudding mix and whisk until well blended. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 2. In another small bowl, combine all crepe ingredients except for unsalted butter, flowers and powdered sugar, and mix well. 3. Trim the flowers removing as much of the stem as possible. 4. Heat a non-stick 6-inch pan to medium heat; then brush with butter. Pour scant 1/3 cup of batter (3 tablespoons) into the pan and tilt it in all directions so the batter covers the bottom. Cook 1 minute. 5. Working quickly, briefly remove the pan from the heat and place 2 flowers (depending on size), face side up, onto one end of the crepe, gently pressing as you arrange according to artistic taste. Carefully slide a spatula underneath the crepe, flip and cook for 30 seconds longer. Place on a plate to cool. 6. To assemble: place a crepe with flowers facing side down. Add lemon custard and raspberries to the other side of the crepe (without the flowers). Roll the crepe and the side with flowers should end up on top. Garnish with powdered sugar. You can also add some raspberries as a garnish (optional). Yields 6 crepes * If you do not have edible flowers growing in your garden, look for them at gourmet supermarkets or farmer’s markets. Amazon has an edible flower mix that contains 12 varieties (500 seeds) for $5.39. Secret Ingredient - Positivity. “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” — Helen Keller

Open-air performances of the musical will come to the streets of Berlin and Salisbury, local parks of St. Michaels and Chincoteague, and outside of the Ocean City Center for the Arts. Kyler Taustin, Brown Box founder and executive artistic director, said he was inspired to direct “Songs for a New World” because of its timeliness and urgency. “The play is about taking risks, taking steps,” he said. “We are in a time
of great change; personally, professionally, and universally; and this play speaks to that turn, the pivotal shift, the unavoidable leap that must be taken to accept, embrace, and champion change. It’s about one moment.” “Songs for a New World,” Jason Robert Brown’s breathtaking song cycle, weaves together the stories and voices of a diverse cast of characters in a musical journey that transcends time and space. A soaring, vibrant score transports the audience through a mesmerizing exploration of the unknown world and the tough choices

In conjunction with Women’s History Month, the General Levin Winder Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution annually recognizes a woman, past or present, who has made a difference in her community, and submits a brief biography and photo of the honoree for inclusion in the National Society’s Women in American History Project database. During a recent luncheon, and with five family members in attendance, tribute was paid to Worcester County native Amanda Elizabeth Dennis (1841-1923). Named as a Poetess Laureate of Maryland, Dennis glorified the beauties of nature and wrote about life in the region. Her poem, “Poor Salisbury, or Wings of Fire” was read by her second great niece, chapter member Lynne Taylor Murray, center, who accepted the certificate on behalf of the family from Regent Patricia Ayers, left, and American History chair Suzanne Zantzinger.

‘Discover Your Watershed’ at Ilia Fehrer Nature Park, Sat. (May 19, 2017) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) will host the second series of the “Discover Your Watershed” program, Saturday, May 20, at the Ilia Fehrer Nature Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Ilia Fehrer Nature Park is a former loblolly pine monoculture owned by Worcester County in which MCBP is managing a project of restoring the pines with Atlantic white cedars, hardwood tree species and other native plants. The Ilia Fehrer Nature Preserve is not open to the public yet, so this event is a unique opportunity to see this hidden restoration property firsthand. The first half of the day will consist of identifying and documenting the unique flora the Ilia Fehrer forest has to offer. Participants will be looking at areas of the forest using a technique called quadrat sampling. The primary goal is to collect data regarding the hardwood trees recently planted. Then participants will work to clear trails that were previously developed. These activities will require hiking through challenging, un-even terrain. This is the perfect opportunity for school groups, church groups, families and individuals to explore a Maryland Coastal Bays Program
management property that is typically closed to the public. Lunch will be provided after the event. Long pants, old shoes or boots, sunscreen and bug spray are encouraged. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP by contacting Amanda at amandap@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297 ext 103. The Ilia Fehrer Nature Park is located at 11242 Assateague Rd., Berlin, Maryland 21811. The third program will be held June 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bishopville dam. “Discover Your Watershed” series is a program dedicated to providing residents and visitors the opportunity to explore and learn about area restoration properties in the coastal bays watershed. The first “Discover Your Watershed” event was a great success according to organizers, as 15 volunteers participated in sampling for macroinvertebrates and removing invasive species from a created wetland site, Lizard Hill, located in Bishopville. Maryland Coastal Bays Program is a 501 c3 nonprofit dedicated to protecting the five coastal bays located behind Ocean City and Assateague Island.

(May 19, 2017) As part of the services it provides, Coastal Hospice offers volunteer support to patients and their families while the patient is in hospice care and following their passing. The hospice also sends veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces to make honor visits to patients who are veterans, and also depends on volunteers for the Berlin Thrift Shop. An informational and training session for anyone wanting to learn about volunteer opportunities at Coastal Hospice will be held on Friday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Library. No commitment to volunteer is required to attend, and the public is invited to the free session. Coastal Hospice depends on its volunteers to provide the quality care every patient needs and deserves, and will work with them to match their interests to opportunities. “We can work within your schedule and where you live, and give you the skills you’ll need to be a hospice volunteer,” said Sally Rankin, volunteer coordinator for Coastal Hospice who will be leading the training session in Ocean Pines. “There are many ways you can help.” Patient care volunteers at Coastal Hospice support the patient and family while the patient is under hospice care.

(May 19, 2017) Worcester County Humane Society invites golfers to the fourth annual “Pars for Paws,” on Thursday, June 1, at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course, in Berlin. Registration starts at 11:30 a.m. with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start. Entry fee is $100 per player and includes greens fee for 18 holes, a cart, box lunch and awards ceremony immediately following the tournament at Harborside Bar and Grill, with appetizers and drinks sponsored by Absolut. All money raised goes to the care of the animals at the no-kill shelter. Last year more than $7,000 was raised. Golfers, donations and sponsors are needed to make this a success. The humane society is looking for individuals and businesses that would like to make a monetary donation or would like to donate raffle prizes. “By having generous sponsors, the money raised at the event goes directly to the care of our animals instead of paying for the event,” said Sandy Summers, “Pars for Paws” chairwoman. Hole sponsorship cost is $100. In return, a sponsor’s business will be advertised at one of the holes, as well as in all literature associated with “Pars for Paws.” Businesses who sponsor a team for $400 can also receive a hole sign for $50.

Resort museum makes donation
(May 19, 2017) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum recently made a donation to the USS Cod Submarine Memorial in Cleveland, Ohio. Paul Farace and his wife, Teresa, visited mid-March and selected several artifacts to take back to Cleveland. Along with the pyro locker, other artifacts from the USS Blenny include two crew mess tables, an officer’s state room sink and main exhaust stop valve wheel. In an effort to divest of some of the artifacts that do not fit the mission, the Museum Society has been trying to find new homes for them. Many of the very large items include parts of the USS Blenny, a navy submarine that was sunk off the coast of Ocean City in 1989 to become an artificial reef. Fortunately, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum Society made contact with members of the USS Cod Submarine Memorial (SS 224), docking in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cod was a squadron mate of the Blenny in WWII and the Blenny rescued six Cod crewmen in August of 1945 when they got stranded aboard a junk in the South China Sea. The Society shipped the name plate of the Blenny and a torpedo igniter stowage unit earlier this year, but since Paul Farace was going to be in the Ocean City area in March, he decided to visit the museum, located at the southern end of the Boardwalk, and see what was in storage.

More than 25 years have passed since Atlantic General Hospital was more of an idea than it was a likelihood, and supporters had to battle for the public and official recognition the concept needed to earn state approval. Those who were involved back then will admit that it was not an elegant exercise. It was aggravating, frustrating and, at times, brutal, but they persevered and ultimately prevailed, because then-Gov. William Donald Schaeffer embraced the proposal’s single most important justification — Ocean City and its hundreds of thousands of tourists needed a primary care facility. Schaeffer was, after all, a big fan of Ocean City. Although AGH has expanded its reach to encompass all northern Worcester County, it remains that its raison d'etre was to provide vital services to the huge summer crowds, while the smaller year-round population in the coastal communities also would benefit. That’s why hearing the Ocean City Council now debating whether to support Atlantic General, while seemingly referring to it as some semi-related entity, is disappointing. AGH’s location in Berlin, in fact, is because the late Irv Bainum, one of the hospital’s original advocates, donated the land. It had nothing to do with the role those early volunteers hoped the hospital would assume. It’s equally disheartening to hear the council’s “No thanks, we gave at the office” reply to the hospital’s request for a contribution. AGH could become a county hospital, but it isn’t one yet and it shouldn’t be a victim of the resort government’s argument with the county over who should pay for what. That approach would suggest that AGH does less for Ocean City property and business owners than it does for other county residents. That’s hardly the case. At least it wasn’t when those first supporters repeatedly made their argument to anyone who would listen that Ocean City could and would support a hospital. Considering that probably two-thirds of the Ocean City Fire Department’s 6,000 calls each year involve medical emergencies that generally wind up at AGH, City Hall should recognize that its continuing dispute with the county might be about what’s fair, but it should not be confused with what’s right.

Letters to the editor Police thank locals for season support
Editor, With the first major special event of the season upon us, we at the Ocean City Police Department have officially begun our busy season. To effectively police the town, we are required to supplement our police presence during major motor events such as Cruisin’ Ocean City by bringing in allied agencies to assist our officers. This weekend, citizens can expect to see officers from the Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, and Maryland Transportation Authority. Many of these officers travel far distances to assist us and, as an incentive to their agency, we work very closely with our local hotels, motels, and restaurants to provide the officers with food and lodging while they are here. On behalf of our entire department, I would first like to thank Susan Jones and her staff at the Ocean City Hotel Motel Restaurant Association. Thanks to their relationships with hotel owners and coordination efforts, we are able to provide lodging for all of the officers that need it at no cost to the Town of Ocean City. I sincerely thank the
Commander Hotel, Francis Scott Key Resort, and Ocean 1 Hotel for their gracious hospitality and support. Many restaurants throughout town have also agreed to provide discounted meals for visiting officers. I would like to sincerely thank Anthony’s Carryout, Captain’s Table, Coral Reef Café, Dough Roller on 41st and 70th streets, Fish Tales, General’s Kitchen, Happy Jack’s Pancake House, Layton’s on 16th Street, Pit & Pub on 28th Street, Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli and Starbucks on 17th Street. We are extremely grateful for the many local business partners that have shown their dedication to public safety in Ocean City. The community partnerships and strong relationships that we enjoy are truly what makes our community safe. Chief Ross Buzzuro Ocean City Police Department
Legislators got paid sick leave wrong
Editor, House Bill 1, which mandates paid leave for even those who work only a few hours per week, was not the compromise lawmakers claim, and it
could do real damage to those favorite summertime shops. Our members want safe, healthy employees, and will continue to offer the most competitive wages and benefits they can afford. We cautioned lawmakers that a one-size-fits-all governmental mandate would not work for Maryland’s small businesses, of which Ocean City has many. Otherwise, employers, their staffs and their customers could suffer. HB1 mandates paid leave for employees who work as few as 12 hours per week. Businesses with 15 or more employees must comply; those with fewer than 15 employees must provide unpaid leave. All employers face excessive fines for even small record-keeping errors. To help seasonal employers like most in Ocean City and other tourist areas, we asked that employees work 120 days before accruing paid time off. The Senate Finance and House Economic Matters Committees declined to vote on this proposal. Instead, the Senate adopted a 106-day period. That’s roughly the number of days between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It means that seasonal employees who Continued on Page 94

Evil clutches and cars
By Stewart Dobson Publisher I always wanted a hot car when I was young, but the best I could do was a 1949 six-cylinder Chevy that I pretended was a four-speed monster by shifting into second twice. Sloppy transmissions on old beater cars would do that … for a while. Persistent double-shifting, which fooled no one, will take you only so far. Literally. Apparently, my limited knowledge of cars caused me to misinterpret the sound of transmission-related parts grinding themselves into metal fuzz as “interesting.” This ill-advised technique should not be confused with double-clutching, which is another disaster-inwaiting under certain circumstances. One such circumstance would be if you borrowed your mother’s car because yours no longer has a functional transmission —“It fell apart for no reason. I can’t understand it.” There are bad times and worse times to test the old mom-mobile. The bad time is when you think it just might be faster than Dougie’s straight-eight Army tank of a Pontiac, especially if you double-clutch for no good reason and blow that clutch into a zillion pieces about 30 feet from where you started. A worse time is when you not only blow the clutch, but fail to realize that you forgot to latch the hood after ceremoniously checking the oil before the great race (because it looked important, OK?) and having the aforementioned hood separate from the car completely, and sail unrestricted
by nuts, bolts, screws or hinges into a cornfield. The absolute worst time to do that sort of thing is when you blow the clutch, lose the hood, offer a weak, “It fell apart for no reason. I don’t understand it,” only to have your sister rat you out. It’s been half a century since that day and I’ve never forgiven her. I’ll send her a Christmas card that says, “Happy Holidays … even though you ratted me out in 1965.” It happened because she wanted to buy a car and didn’t have enough money. My parents recommended that we buy one together, a suggestion she quickly rejected on the grounds of “I’d rather not say.” As statements to your parents go, this is like telling them, “I am hot to tell you everything, just make it look good.” She held out for, oh, two minutes before she boo-hoo-hooed the whole story: “The thing with your car — the clutch, the hood — He Was Racing!” And then tears, that said, “You could see that they forced it out of me, right?” That was all she wrote. And no matter what I said — “Not exactly a race, but more of a spirited short drive,” I was sentenced to endure “cheap, reliable transportation,” which in world of high school coolness is like wearing a bow tie and black-framed glasses. By the time I finally did get a hot car, it was too late. I mean, I had it, I loved it and people noticed it. Still, when a passerby says, “Gun it, poppop,” it’s time to move on.
Letters to the editor Continued from Page 93 work before Memorial Day could be eligible for paid leave before Labor Day, potentially leaving employers understaffed during the critical endof-season weekend and beyond. We want students and others to be able to return to their seasonal jobs. But HB1 means that employees who return fewer than 37 weeks after their last work day are immediately able to take accrued paid leave, making it hard for employers to schedule the staff they need. Lawmakers eventually agreed that employers can verify how an employee used their paid leave. However, the verification isn’t defined in the bill, and it can only be required if the employee agrees to the terms on hiring day. If employees don’t provide the verification when asked, the employer still has to pay. The only recourse allowed is to deny a future similar request. Legislators ignored employers’ valid concerns. The result is a costly government mandate requiring cumbersome record keeping and imposing
excessive penalties for even an inadvertent error. This bill means potential cutbacks on hiring, increased prices to offset costly mandates, or inability to rehire returning seasonal employees. What lawmakers call “compromise” was merely one-sided strategy. Lawrence A. Richardson Jr., Esq.
