Tax hike level still unknown

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) With a gulf of $22 million between revenues and requested expenditures, and a law requiring the publication of a “good faith estimate” of the tax rate in advance of the May 5 budget hearing, the Worcester County Commissioners decided on Tuesday to wait until next week to reveal what that number might be. Public hearings are required whenever the tax rate exceeds the constant yield rate, the number determined by the state to produce funding levels consistent with last year’s revenue. This year’s constant yield rate for Worcester is 77.55 cents per $100 of assessed value, up about one-half penny over last year. While Worcester County could charge up to that amount without much fanfare, the problem is that might not be nearly enough. Not only is the county beset by shrinking property values and anemic gains in assessments, it also has a backlog of projects that were delayed because of the last decade’s deep recession. The commissioners were well aware a shortfall was coming, but the size and shape of it remained elusive to the public until a few weeks ago. County Treasurer Phil Thompson delivered a shock: The county could use 100 percent of the rainy day fund socked away by previous commissioners and See RAISE Page 3

OC police sign for 2 percent pay adjustment Deal with union to avoid arbitration bumps salary tables over three years

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) The done deal is a done deal. The Ocean City Council voted unan-

imously this week to ratify a three-year contract with the Fraternal Order of Police under the terms that the council and union leaders had agreed to several weeks ago following a long negotiation process. “I think we had some issues, on both sides, with managing expectations,” said FOP Lodge 10 President Shawn Jones. “It seems everyone

thinks we left a little bit on the table, but that’s probably a good thing.” In February, the FOP – the collective bargaining unit representing Ocean City Police Department officers, up through the rank of sergeant – had declared an impasse in negotiations, which would’ve kicked the city into a binding arbitration process if a deal was not reached.

“We did reach an impasse and that’s something that’s never really happened before,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “But its amazing what open dialogue and a little bit of trust and conversation can do. “Each time, you learn a little more about the department and I hope the See BELT Page 5

OC Today debuts new column for food, drink & fun (April 10, 2015) Ocean City Today is changing a portion of its format this week, with the introduction of a new column by writer Cate Meighan, who will be reporting weekly on the bar, restaurant and entertainment scenes. The change is part of the effort to keep visitors and residents up to date on what’s new, what’s changing and what’s coming up in three main aspects of resort life: food, drink and fun. To that end, we have done away with that pretentious “Insight” section title and have returned to “Lifestyle,” albeit it will be a much improved version that gives readers a better look at the fun to be had and who’s providing it. This change, which we began contemplating this winter as it became apparent that “Insight” wasn’t really offering anything insightful, was made easier when Meighan signed on as a staff writer last week. Meighan (pronounced mee´• un) introduces herself and her reporting background in her debut column on page 49. Suffice to say that she has been covering the entertainment world for many years. Locally, she also reports on Ocean 98’s Rude Awakening Show on Friday mornings. As she assembles her column each week, feel free to contact her at cate@oceancitytoday.net with your tips and reports on who’s doing what where, what’s opening and what’s changing (her deadline to us is noon Tuesday). Your help and participation will make this one fun column in a place where having fun is important business.

Raise of $0.67 needed to stay level Continued from Page 1 still face a shortfall in the coming budget year. More than that, with the exhaustion of the safety net, fiscal 2017 was looking even more dire than 2016. Part of the problem is in the assessments themselves. Ocean City counts for about 60 percent of all property value in the county, and properties are reassessed in three-year cycles. Ocean City was reassessed for this year, and won’t be reevaluated until 2019. Thompson, the commissioners — everyone expected this year to be the turnaround. But it didn’t happen. “The County Commissioners have indicated their desire to adopt a budget equal to or less than the total FY15 budget of $177,981,133,” County Administrator Harold Higgins wrote in a report to the board.

But to maintain a 2016 budget at 2015 spending levels, county officials said, the tax rate would have to be increased by 6.7 cents per $100 of assessed value, taking it up to 83.7 cents per $100, would be necessary. To fund the requested budget completely would require a tax increase of 14.4 cents, according to the county’s calculations. Neither estimate takes into account budget stabilization funds by design. The county can’t use savings in the formulation of these numbers to present to the public. “This is the first time in four years we’ve advertised a tax increase,” Board President M. Jim Bunting said Tuesday, “I don’t feel the public should feel we’ve already got our minds made up.” A nuance of the law requires that hearings be held for every increase over the constant yield rate, so if the pub-

lished number comes in low, a new round of hearings will be held. If the commissioners publish an advertisement for a 7-cent hike, for example, but the real number turns out to be closer to 8 cents, a new round of hearings will be scheduled. So there is a real danger of lowballing the amount. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said he was concerned about a chilling effect the published numbers could produce. “Everyone will know we’ve got to cut 8 cents from somewhere,” he said, referring to the gap between 6.7 cents and 14.4 cents. Several county departments, such as Tourism and Liquor Control, have not yet had their budget requests heard by the commissioners. To that end Mitrecic moved to delay until next Tuesday’s budget work session, the decision to define what the county’s good faith estimate will be.

Belt tightened on insurance, work comp for PD Continued from Page 1 members of the department learned a little more about the mayor and council and what our job is here.” In the end, the FOP accepted an eleventh-hour offer from the city, the details of which were revealed this week. Most critically, union members will be granted raises on the department’s pay step scales, based on rank and experience. The first advancement will kick in half way through the 2016-2017 fiscal year, on Jan. 1, 2017. Another increase will occur on Jan 1, 2018. Further, the scales will be given a two percent cost-of-living-adjustment each year, bumping the entire pay table up for new recruits as well as officers who have reached the top pay grade. According to the city’s memo on the deal, this will cost an additional $25,994 in the coming fiscal year, and $79,361 the year after that, relative to a situation in which police pay remained flat. In the third year of the contract, union members will earn a cumulative $463,488 more than if pay

had remained at 2015 levels. The contract also features two other changes that could save the city money, although the exact amount is difficult to quantify. Firstly, cost sharing for officer healthcare will see a slight change, with current officers paying for 20 percent of their PPO (Preferred Provider Organizations) premiums, as opposed to the 85/15 split the city had previously offered. Further, the new contract stipulates that all officers hired after the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, 2015, will be required to enroll in the city’s high deductible health plan and health savings account program, and will not have the option of traditional PPO or HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) coverage. The high-deductible/HSA system, which has been mandatory for several years for non-union employees, has proven to save the city a considerable amount of money. Under the system, the city pays for 85 percent of the premium on a lowcost health plan, which features a de-

Put down your phone (April 10, 2015) The Ocean City Police Department is joining the U.S. Department of Transportation in the effort to stop distracted driving by observing Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The national campaign, U Drive. U Text. U Pay., takes place during April and reminds citizens to park the phone while on the road. “Texting while driving is not only illegal in the state of Maryland but very dangerous,” said Chief Ross Buzzuro. “When you text while driving, you take your eyes off

the road, hands off the wheel and mind off the task of driving, which puts yourself and others at risk.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,154 people were killed and an estimated additional 424,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2013. The University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute’s 2012 “Teen Driver Distraction Study” reports that a quarter of all teens respond to a text mes-

ductible of $1,300 for individuals and $2,600 for families. Further, the city contributes that amount of money each year into an employee’s HSA. These are the minimum deductibles and maximum employer contributions set by the federal government, in order for the HSA to qualify for favorable tax status. This gives the city a more predictable insurance cost, as it will never pay more than the set level for any one employee, no matter what their medical bills actually are. However, employees who do not incur their entire deductible will be left with money in their HSAs, which rolls over from year to year, potentially leaving the employee with a considerable nest egg for health expenses later in life. The second major financial change to the FOP contract is with regard to workers’ compensation. Previously, union officers were entitled to receive their full salary, based on 40 hours per week, for any amount of time in which they were unable to work due to injury on the job, subject to physician’s review every six months.

This goes beyond Maryland’s labor statute, which only requires that employees receive full wages for the first week of work missed, and up to twothirds of their average weekly wage thereafter, not to exceed a state-set disability pay cap which currently stands at $998 per week. Under the new FOP contract, officers will only be able to get full wages for the first six months in which they are unable to work. After this, they will receive only what they are entitled to under the state statute, in order to create a financial incentive for them to return to the job. Since the FOP was formed, the city has seen a five-and-a-half-fold increase in workers’ compensation and disability claims among police. In 2001, the citywide budget allocation for ongoing and future claim costs was $250,000, of which $86,109, or 34 percent of the budget, was the result of police claims experience. In the current 2015 fiscal year, the city is allocating $815,000 for anticipated claims, of which $492,591, or 60 percent, is for the OCPD.

sage one or more times while driving, and 20 percent of teens and 10 percent of parents admit that they have extended, multimessage text conversations while driving.

A dredging vessel operates near the Ocean City inlet earlier this week.

Inlet upkeep falling behind shifting sands of channel Army Corps semiannual dredging helps but does not solve shoaling issue

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Semiannual dredging may not be enough to maintain the Ocean City inlet as a viable ingress to the harbor, county officials said Tuesday. The Army Corps of Engineers conducts the dredging operations to maintain a 10-foot deep (plus two additional feet as a buffer), 200-foot wide access channel between the harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. According to the corps, 30,000 cubic yards of material will be hydraulically dredged and placed in surf zones of approved depositing areas on Assateague Island. This material, comprised of medium to coarse sand, according to the corps, will replace sand captured by the jetties near the inlet and prevented from where it would have ended up without the inlet, namely Assateague Island. The corps gave a deadline of April 14 for qualified comment. A letter from the corps delivered to the County on March 19 reads: “[W]e request that you submit comments within your agency’s area of expertise to assist in … our project.” On the county’s behalf, Bob Mitchell, director of environmental

programs, had three concerns. The first is the project is “greatly needed.” “Our commercial fishermen have a draft too deep when they are fully loaded to navigate the shoaled channel at present and are forced to either navigate with the tides or take their catch to alternate ports …,” Mitchell wrote in a memo prior to the meeting. “There’s something worse down there than what’s been fixed with semiannual dredging,” he said at Tuesday’s meeting. Speed is also a concern, as Mitchell notes the coastal bays are primary nursery areas for summer flounder entering the bays between April and November. This concern, Mitchell writes, is in keeping with the recently updated comprehensive conservation and management plan for the coastal bays. Finally, Mitchell asks the corps to perform a long-term study to examine the repeated shoaling occurring at the inlet. Mitchell said a study referenced by the corps was dated 1998, and suggests a new effort to determine what is going on under the waters of the inlet. “If just one of those boats goes down, it can be disastrous,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said. “Boats are transferred to New Jersey,” Commissioner J. Bud Church agreed, “because of a 6- or 8-hour wait to get into the harbor. There is the potential for tens of millions of dollars to be lost. This needs immediate action.”

Augmented police presence, service certain on buses More drivers, more officers planned for 2015 season

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Is that your gun, or are you just as happy as everyone else riding the bus home at 2 a.m.? Some other passengers might not be going home, but are on duty and keeping an eye on the crowd’s behavior. The presence of more plainclothes police officers on Ocean City buses was one of two subjects discussed this week by the city’s public transportation commission. The commission was also pleased to hear that the city expects greatly improved bus service this summer. “One of the big goals this year is to improve the safety perception of transit without being heavy-handed,” said Capt. Kevin Kirstein, Patrol Commander for the Ocean City Police Department. This summer, the city has arranged for a considerably larger pool of bus drivers than it has had in the past in reaction to a shortage of staff last year that resulted in too few buses on the road and overcrowding at critical times. By the end of 2014, the city was down to 120 available bus drivers. Although

One of the flyers that the Ocean City Police Department will be distributing.

the service starts with a larger pool, many drivers suffer from burnout during June, when buses can be particularly rowdy. Many drivers are older, retired persons who are only willing to work if they can set their own hours, making scheduling difficult. This year, through intensive recruiting efforts, the city is starting with a pool of 188. Assuming that drivers average 32 hours per week, 155 employees would be needed to cover the peak of the summer according to Steve Bartlett, who is in charge of transit scheduling for the city. Bartlett warns this figure is a rough estimate that does not take into account

attrition, which he estimated at 25 percent. “Again, you can’t sit here and say ‘how many drivers do you need?’ That’s not how it works, because we’re dependent on cumulative man-hours and we don’t know how much each person is willing to work,” said Public Works Director Hal Adkins. However, a larger pool of employees will provide a better buffer when drivers cancel shifts. “If we have absenteeism, we’ll be able to seat that shift if we have more people on the roster,” Adkins said. The city’s bus system is scheduled to provide 10-minute service 21 hours per

day, between 6:00 and 3:00 a.m., and a bus every half-hour between 3:00 and 6:00 a.m., Bartlett said. However, this requires a minimum of 490 deployments per week, with a deployment defined as one bus and one driver for an eight-hour shift. Keeping more drivers on the payroll to fulfill this will cost more, but the city is hoping that better service will boost ridership and fare revenues. “It’s going to increase ridership when people have more confidence in the bus system,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “If we have that reliability, we can get out there and publicize it a little more as See ADDITIONAL Page 9

Legendary actor brings one-man show to resort

(April 10, 2015) Legendary star of stage, screen and television, Hal Holbrook, is set to bring his one-man play to the Performing Art Center at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. Local promoter, Bob Rothermel of TEAM Productions, has announced that “Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight” will appear on June 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the convention center Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations. With nearly 100 stage credits to his name, Holbrook has appeared in 48 motion picture films, 28 television movies, 11 television mini-series, and 23 television specials or series. He is a five-time Emmy award winner and has received an Academy Award nomination, two SAG award nominations and an additional seven Emmy nominations. In 2003, Holbrook was presented with the National Medal of the Humanities by former President George W. Bush. “Mr. Holbrook has received countless accolades and awards for not only this show, which he created, but for his entire body of work,” Rothermel said. “It is an honor to bring him to Ocean City’s Performing Arts Center.” For more information, call the convention center at 410-289-2800 or Ticketmaster at 1-800-551-SEAT (7328).

Additional drivers and more police to secure buses Continued from Page 8 well.” Going hand-in-hand with helping rider confidence and reducing driver dropout, the OCPD plans to conduct more plainclothes bus patrols this year. “Transportation asked for a certain level of police presence and we were able to meet that,” Kirstein said. “They asked for specific dates and times, which I’d prefer to keep close to the vest.” However, Kirstein said the department is planning a public campaign to let riders know about the presence of undercover officers. The ads will feature officers in uniform as well as in street clothes featuring the tagline “Can you spot the cop?” Improved bus service should also help cut down on issues with drunk and disgruntled visitors who become agitated by long wait times. “Some of the disorderly and assaultive behavior is because people don’t like to wait at the bus stop,” Kirstein said. Under the program, Bartlett said, police will be able to request an empty bus be sent directly to specific stop if they see people becoming particularly anxious.

Despite struggling sales, city adds tram ads

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Despite their lack of popularity with Boardwalk business, and a fair amount of internal skepticism voiced this week, resort government is still moving cautiously forward with tram-top advertising. The city’s Transportation Commission decided this week to add advertising panels to two additional tram coaches, bringing the total number of equipped coaches to 10 out of the city’s fleet of 16. This is even though only seven coaches have so far been sold. Local interest has been limited, likely because Boardwalk merchants have previously described the additions as tacky and “just ugly.” Nevertheless, city officials – particularly Mayor Rick Meehan – desired to press onward. “People in Ocean City have a ten-

dency to wait until the last minute to get their plans together,” Meehan said. “The visual of the panels this year will encourage people to buy them next year.” Meehan was also particularly critical of Direct Media, the company that holds the state-funded contract to sell advertising on municipal transit. The issue seemed to be how the panels were being grouped for sale, or whether that even made a difference. Each tram coach has three panels: two long ones running along the each side of the roof, and a smaller one at either the back of the car, for rear coaches, or the front of the car on front coaches. Originally, all three panels were being sold as set, at a price of $13,500 per season. However, because of a less-thanstellar reception, Meehan and City Manager David Recor had suggested that panels be sold individually, at a

SAVE UP TO

lower price point. “Breaking the panels up so the sum of the parts added up to the original price ... was what we anticipated,” Recor said. However, Direct Media’s feeling was that selling individual panels would not make them more palatable to small businesses and that doing so would jeopardize the interest from larger clients who wanted to buy in three-panel blocks. “I don’t want to say it’s outside [local businesses’] price range,” said Susan Maex of Direct Media, who attended Tuesday’s meeting. “I have clients here who easily spend $60,000 on a bus wrap. We didn’t have anyone coming back to us saying, ‘Can I buy just one panel?’” Despite the suggestions from Meehan and Recor, it appeared the full City Council had never made any formal decision on where to go.

“Susan is aware that the council sets the parameters,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “But at no time was I given the directive to tell Direct Media to change direction.” Installation of the seven coaches’ worth of ads that have been sold is not scheduled until May, leaving some time left to sell. Meehan advocated offering single panels now, believing that some local businesses had not yet finished their plans for the summer. However, Maex said it “would be really bad business” to offer single panels now that seven clients had already been lined up under the assumption that only whole coaches were being sold. Those seven clients are Tanger Outlets, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s smoking quitline, MarDel Watermelons, Lennar Homes, Ocean Downs Casino, Dippin’ Dots, and the State Highway Administration’s pedestrian safety campaign. Regardless of whose sales strategy was right, the rest of the commission agreed with Maex that single-panel sales were not an option for this year. “This year, we have to do a cluster of three. It wouldn’t be fair to the people who already bought,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. “Next year, we could change the program.” The issue of continuing with the program comes with the fact that the adverSee DEBATE Page 11

Unveiling of OCDC dolphin sculpture at bridge, April 14

WE ARE

Nonprofit still raising money to support public art effort at Route 90 intersection (April 10, 2015) The newest addition to the Ocean City Development Corporation’s Public Art Program is about to be unveiled. “Dance of the Dolphins,” is bronze statue of three dolphins supported by a bronze wave that will grace the southwest corner of Route 90 and Coastal Highway. The unveiling will be held on Tuesday, April 14 in recognition of National Dolphin Day. “We’ve all seen dolphins when walking the beach or riding the waves and everyone loves it when there’s a dolphin sighting,” said Chris Trimper, chair of the OCDC’s Public Art Committee. “There’s something special about these creatures that makes this statue the perfect symbol to welcome the millions of visitors to our resort each year.” The 16-foot sculpture is another signature piece created by sculptor David Turner of Turner Sculptures in Onley, Va. It will be surrounded by a park-like setting designed by Becker Morgan Group Architects. “The statue and plaza will cost approximately $100,000 and a campaign to raise funds to underwrite the costs of this newest addition to Ocean City’s Public Art is under way, “ Trimper said. “Your contribution will not only give you some ownership of this historic landmark, but will also support the on-going public art effort in Ocean City.” The Ocean City Development Corporation is a non-profit organization and donations are tax de-

These artistic works have become an integral part of the resort’s landscape, accenting its buildings and walkways throughout Ocean City. The unveiling ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. next to the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street. The event also will kick off a summer filled with contests, activities, and events to bring awareness to the Dance of the Dolphins Campaign and to provide educational resources about these mammals.

Debate over whether price or aesthetics limiting appeal Continued from Page 10 tising panels aren’t free. Each coach costs $7,118.75 to build, install and wire the structure to the tram roof, Adkins said. Printing of the ad plates costs $1,500. “I’ve already flowed $60,000 into building the first eight coaches, but I have the revenue coming back [from the seven that have sold] to cover it,” Adkins said. “We can’t say that about another eight.” “Unless there’s an underlying current out there that I’m not aware of, we’re not getting that feedback,” Adkins continued. “I don’t want to be the guy who spends another $60,000 to build stuff he can’t sell.” Even if not sold, any excess panels could be used to advertise city events, such as Sunfest or the Performing Arts Center shows. But these ads would not generate any revenue. Given the costs of the eight coaches al-

ready done versus the income from the seven sold, Councilman Tony DeLuca calculated that the city was still making about $25,000, even if nothing else was done. Thus, installation on two more coaches, as well as the cost of printing signs for those two and the current unsold one, could be covered without the city losing money. “Why don’t we just add two more, and even if it goes nowhere after this, we still have three coaches to advertise our own stuff on?” DeLuca proposed. The commission voted in favor of the idea with Councilman Dennis Dare in opposition. Dare, along with former council members Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas, had voted against the tram advertising program when it was first brought to the council last year. “I didn’t like it then, and I still don’t,” Dare said.

City starts on tight ‘status quo’ FY16 budget Recor says council will need to address capital project backlog in some manner

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) The 2016 fiscal racehorse started down the track this week in tight first seed, as the Town of Ocean City reviewed a draft budget that holds the line on taxes and operating costs, but doesn’t leave much room for anything else. Over the next several weeks, the mayor and City Council will review and tweak City Manager David Recor’s financial plan for the 2016 fiscal year, which runs from July of 2015 through June of 2016. “The tax base appears to have stabilized,” Recor said in his summary remarks. “The economic indicators appear to be favorable. But there continue to be many demands for these limited financial resources.” In essence, Recor assured the council that the budget plan will be able to accommodate the city’s operating expenses – including employee pay raises, insurance hikes, and other bottom-line cost increases – without raising taxes beyond the constant yield rate, or cutting any services. However, this puts a huge

squeeze on the city’s backlog of capital improvements and other unfunded initiatives that have been put off for years – a list of projects that total $31 million, Recor estimated. “I think it goes without saying that we can’t possibly complete these activities with ‘status quo’ financial resources,” Recor said. “Nor is it reasonable to think that you would be able to address all these things within a year.” Under Recor’s plan, the city will maintain a tax rate consistent with the constant yield, a state government-calculated number that would produce for the city the same property tax revenue it received the year before based on the current assessment. This year, 2015, is the first year of a three-year phase-in for new property assessments for Ocean City, with the exception of a select few commercial properties on the south end of town. Most values, however, saw little change, with the resort’s total taxable property base slipping by 1.6 percent. Total city property values now stand at $8.39 billion. Because of the decline in property values, Recor’s plan would raise the tax rate under the constant yield formula by an additional 0.76 cents

per $100 of assessed value, putting the town’s next tax levy at 47.80 cents, as opposed to last year’s 47.04. This will generate $40.24 million in revenue. On the plus side, Recor noted, the city has been successful in its effort to reduce its dependence on real estate taxes since the market collapsed in the fall of 2008. In Fiscal Year 2009, during which the recession hit, property taxes accounted for 58.59 percent of General Fund revenue, which totaled $80.47 million. In the coming FY16, Recor’s proposal would finance 53.96 percent of the General Fund total of $78.28 million. “I think it’s really worth pointing out where we stand today as an organization versus where we were seven years ago ... and that [this budget] continues the downward trend since FY09,” Recor said. The city organizes its finances around the General Fund, which consists of all city operations that do not have designated streams of revenue. Income flowing into General Fund is lumped into a single account and then disbursed to various city departments. The largest single revenue stream for the General Fund, naturally, is property taxes. However, other revenues, such as parking fees, building

permits, hotel taxes, and other miscellaneous charges make up a significant amount. Much of this income is dependent on the economic environment. The city’s room tax, which collects a percentage off of every hotel or condo rental, is estimated to bring in $13.8 million in the coming year. While Room Tax revenue has seen less of an annual increase since the recession, it has yet to experience negative growth. Likewise, while the city’s income from building permits and zoning fees took a hit in 2009, those revenues also show signs of cautious growth. The total value of new construction projects on the books is $116 million, Recor said, three times what it was last year. That means the city’s zoning and construction inspection operations could see significant growth. “All of our General Fund revenues remain conservatively flat, but that was intentional,” Recor said. “Speaking with local businesses, I’m optimistic that we may see some gains over what we’ve projected here.” General Fund expenditures are dominated by public safety operations, which total almost $34 million. The Ocean City Police Department is the greatest dollar-

Unfunded staffing, capital work totals $31M The budget also has no allocation for canal dredging, which the city started doing in FY14 after years of delay. At least a half-million is needed to continue the program on schedule. Many of the initiatives identified in the last draft of the city’s Capital Improvement Plan are funded via grants, bonds, or lease purchases. However, the current CIP still calls for $6.75 million in General Fund cash contributions for capital work in FY16, putting the city’s infrastructure allotment for next year six fold short of where it should’ve been, as of the last CIP revision. This tally does not include a number of items that are new capital projects, or wholesale replacements, but are rather classified as maintenance items. However, the

city has a number of maintenance projects that are of great demand. For instance, Recor noted on his balance sheet that repairs to the city’s recreation complex at Northside Park – particularly the failing roof – add up to about $1.26 million. These repairs had been described as urgent as far back as 2011. All in all, the city has roughly $31 million in unfunded staffing and capital initiatives that, while beyond the status quo, would seem to be desperately needed considering they have been considered critical for years. As a starting point to address this, Recor recommended conducting a study that would identify what needed to be done in a given period of years, and then calculating what

would have to be incrementally added on to the city’s tax rate over those years in order to complete the projects. “Similar to what we did with our water and wastewater study, where we calculated the rates to meet the needs, what if we did the same thing with our General Fund capital improvements?” Recor asked. “If we have the financial resources to accommodate what the mayor and council prioritize, I assure you we can get the job done. That is just one way of looking at it, and it’s ultimately a policy decision for you,” Recor told the council. While acknowledging that they had number of difficult decisions, the council seemed to agree that Recor’s proposal was a good jumping off point.

“We’re in an excellent position to move forward. We have goals,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “That’s what I want this council to be focused on ... what are our needs moving forward.”

POLICE/COURTS

Tazer and drugs Paul Southard, 26, of Centreville, Md. was arrested on April 4 for attempting to sell a Tazer in a store on North Division Street. Police were told by a witness that Southard entered the store and asked her if she wanted to purchase a Tazer for $30. He then allegedly discharged an electrical current from the device several times. Southard consented to a search of his backpack and police allegedly found the Tazer in question and three different types of prescription pills. According to the report, one pill bottle had Southard’s name on it while the others were in a woman’s name. Some of the pills contained codeine, police said. Southard did not have a prescription for the pills or a concealed weapon carry permit for the Tazer

and was arrested. Police said Southard told them he did not know the Tazer was illegal and the pills in his possession belonged to his father. Police called Southard’s father who allegedly told police the pills belonged to his fiancée and they were stolen from his residence in Centreville where the suspect lives.

revealed a conductive electronic weapon in the shape of knuckles, pepper spray, and a knife. He was charged with concealing deadly weapons, a DUI, possession of an electronic weapon, failure to stop at a stop sign and driving without a seatbelt.

DUI and weapons

Ocean City police arrested Joel Swabon, 19, of Pasadena, Md. and a 17-year-old girl of Annapolis, Md. on charges of stealing items from more than five shops on the Boardwalk. On April 3, police went to a store on Atlantic Avenue after being called about an assault and theft. Store employees told police that two people had attempted to steal items from the store and when confronted, Swabon allegedly assaulted the employee before the two Anne

Michael Sciandra, 52, was arrested on April 1 for driving under the influence and concealing deadly weapons. Sciandra was pulled over by an Ocean City police officer for not stopping at a stop sign and failing to wear his seatbelt. Police said Sciandra appeared to have been drinking and was asked to take field sobriety tests, which he failed. A subsequent search of the car

Boardwalk thefts

Arundel County teens fled the area. Police could not locate the culprits until store employees discovered a cellphone they had left behind. Through investigation and the forgotten phone, police were able to meet with the suspects, which led to their arrest. Police also came to believe that the pair Joel Swabon had taken items from other shops on the Boardwalk. Most stolen items were returned. Swabon was charged with six counts of theft less than $100, second-degree assault, possession of an assisted-opening knife and theft scheme of less than $1,000. He was held at the Ocean City Public Safety Building and released on a $15,000 unsecured bond. The 17-year-old girl was charged with six counts of theft less than $100, possession of drug paraphernalia and theft scheme of less than $1,000. She was released to a guardian after her arrest.

Soliciting girls Hector Ochoa-Barrios, 28, of Silver Spring, Md. was arrested on April 2 after allegedly traveling more than two and a half hours to meet an underage girl. Worcester County detectives met with the complainant, who told police their 14-year-old daughter had been sexually solicited and sent images of child pornography from Ochoa-Barrios. A detective assumed the identity of the victim and continued communication. Ochoa-Barrios is accused of soliciting the detective disguised as the juvenile and expressed interest in meeting her to engage in various sexual activities. Detectives met with Ochoa-Barrios on April 2 in Snow Hill where he was taken into custody. In a subsequent interview, OchoaBarrios allegedly admitted to having a sexual interest in young females and to downloading and having child pornography on his cellphone and on a tablet. In addition, he allegedly told police he possessed and used a social security number that did not belong to him. According to the report, Ochoa-Barrios entered the United States on a non-immigrant visa and stayed beyond the period authorized. He is being entered into the immigration system and is currently being held at the Worcester County Jail.

County hears ideas on Riddle Farm EDU issue High cost of impact fees on public-private utility deal blamed for lack of growth

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) If there is one place in Worcester County business leaders and elected officials want to see growth, it’s at Riddle Farm along the Route 50 corridor at the Berlin WalMart. If there’s one reason that growth has been seen nearly everywhere but Riddle Farm, county officials are pointing at high equivalent dwelling unit costs.

EDUs are a measure of wastewater treatment plant processing capacity. Riddle Farm has its own treatment facility, packed with 267 EDUs, according to the county, that are more or less just sitting there. In order to avoid charging taxpayers for the infrastructure costs, the county opted to enter into a public/private partnership where a private company would collect the fees associated with providing the services and the county would receive a portion of the proceeds. The fees, margins and profits ballooned the cost to a bit more than $23,500 per EDU, with a purchase price of about $18,600 and a public

component of almost $5,000. Businesses balk at the price, Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger told the Worcester County Commissioners Tuesday. He said that reluctance is because areas such as Berlin charge $16,000 per EDU, plus businesses with a heavy water demands, such as a restaurant, might require 10-15 EDUs worth of service. “Developers will pass that cost down to the end users. Texas Roadhouse showed some interest in the area but faced substantial issues,” such as EDUs and parking Badger said.

In 2014 the commissioners hired Columbia, Md. consulting firm Municap Inc., to review the situation and provide options other than the current cash on the barrelhead structure. Municap presented three options, the first of which was, naturally, to keep the existing system in place. The second implements tax increment financing, which assumes an interested tenant would pay the $18,600 price and would allow the county to recapture its $5,000 share through the increase in property tax revenue the business would hopefully generate. “We haven’t done too many in Worcester County,” Badger said, “There have been 200 done well in the area and one in Wicomico that didn’t do so well,” which is the one everyone seems to remember. Municap acknowledged the cost to the county with the counterpoint being if that the development opportunity was lost, no tax increase would be possible anyway. The third option would allow the EDU purchaser to either pay the entire cost up front, or finance the county’s $5,000 portion over 20 years as a special, interest-bearing, tax. This option would, in the end, cost the county little but the effort to levy and collect the tax. A fourth option emerged through the commissioner’s discussion: renegotiate the entire deal. County attorney J. Sonny Bloxom said renegotiation was indeed possible, but Badger, speaking after the meeting, warned against this path. “A renegotiation agreement is not ideal. The private sector is waiting for a product, and people don’t wait. We’re dealing with a finite amount of time. It’s not wise to renegotiate,” he said. The commissioners voted to send Municap’s proposals to the water and sewer committee for further review.

Aquaculture lease opponents lose appeal Appellant Tunis warns of ‘slippery slope’ on public’s right to use state’s waters

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) It may yet be a while before oyster cages begin appearing off the coast of South Point, but the path has again been cleared for Don Marsh to begin operations, pending a permit approval by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Maryland Court of Special Appeals ruled in favor of Marsh, issuing a decision on April 6 on a case heard back at the beginning of February. “It’s good for me and my application, and it’s good for the Department of Natural Resources because it affirmed the process,” Marsh said.

Marsh first filed for an aquaculture lease in 2009, and at that time had the largest lease in the state of Maryland. His neighbors in South Point did not support the plan. Navigability, visibility and appropriateness concerns swirled around the project, but it was finally the types of cages Marsh said he would use that appeared to gain the most traction. In the interceding years, Marsh has significantly revised his initial plan. Marsh and the Department of Natural Resources maintain Marsh has a water column lease, while opposing council argued Marsh has a submerged land lease in spirit, if not letter, of the law. Before this latest ruling, each side had won one case and lost another. In aquaculture, a water column lease is for cages surrounded by some degree of water on all sides.

Silt, sand, mud and muck are hard to quantify legally and the structure, type and markings on cages all have to be taken into account. A submerged land lease is for the ground under the water and gets murky in the same way a water column lease does. However, this type of lease brushes up against the Public Trust Doctrine. This doctrine emerged via a number of legal precedents rather than a bill passed in the legislature and signed by an executive. According to the doctrine, the state holds the navigable waterways and the submerged lands below them in trust for all the citizens. If the citizens could prove Marsh’s project violates the public trust by encumbering navigation for example, the court would have the means to vacate the lease.

The court decreed, “… the record of the contested case is devoid of competent evidence that would support a finding that the ‘public health, safety, and welfare’ would be at risk if Marsh’s lease application were granted.” Further, the court decided that, at most, granting the lease would inconvenience a few commercial fishermen who testified they would probably continue fishing in the waters even if the lease were granted, and found navigability in the shallow waters near South Point would always be difficult, aquaculture lease or no. “In sum, none of the evidence presented by protestants … rose to the level of a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare sufficient to justify a denial of the lease application for reasonable cause …” the decision reads. “I’ve tried to engage them for six years,” Marsh said, “It’s frustrating for a lot of people, but it’s nice to have a rational decision from the court.” In a prepared statement, Sylvia Tunis, one of the 18 appellants said, “We still have another layer of MD Appeals court to pursue; but if the courts continue to allow the DNR’s trampling of fishermen, the boating public and waterfront property owners’ rights, we will be forced go back to the MD Legislature and have this Aquaculture Statute 11A amended while asking: Are the public’s rights to use Maryland’s waters intact or have they been eroded in favor of private interests?” Tunis’ statement warns of a slippery slope. “On the surface this case appears to be about an individual aquaculture lease, but as the case evolved it became apparent what is really at stake is the public’s right to use the waters. If this ruling holds, the boating public’s rights will forever be superseded by the commercial pursuits of private aquaculture enterprises throughout the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays,” the statement reads. For his part, Marsh seems ready to move on. “I just don’t want to do anything to put me in jeopardy vis-à-vis the Army Corps of Engineers until I get my permit. There’s still work to do,” he said. The permitting process has come under scrutiny as of late, with Sen. Barbara Mikulski entering the fray in early March, accusing the Baltimore District of the Army Corps of “dragging its feet” with regards to oyster permits. “In fact, the Baltimore District is sitting on many permits already approved by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources,” Mikulski wrote. In a previous interview, officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said they were awaiting the final outcome of the court cases before deciding on issuing a permit for Marsh.

Crown Castle to pay fee to city to build short range system tied into larger hub

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Following a public hearing Monday night, the Town of Ocean City will proceed with an agreement to allow a wireless data utility to be established in the resort. Not that there were really other options, given both the relative lack of turnout at the hearing, and because the city would need an extremely compelling legal reason to prevent a federally-regulated utility from serving customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we have to have very specific reasons to turn them down under federal law, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to come in and use city facilities for free,â&#x20AC;? City Solicitor Guy Ayres advised the council. The city had been approached by Crown Castle, a company that provides wireless infrastructure for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four major cellular carriers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile. Crown Castle is not looking to build any kind of hubs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; large cell towers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the resort. Rather, the company wants to install a Distributed Antenna System [DAS], which consists of a number of short-range antennas connected via fiber-optic cable back to larger tower sites. These nodes provide greater data capacity to phones within roughly a halfmile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as opposed to the phone communicating directly with a hub tower that could be much farther away. The nodes would appear as metal panels that would be installed atop utility poles. Crown Castle already has access to poles owned by Delmarva Power and Verizon via a shared-use agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use existing Delmarva Power and Verizon street light poles,â&#x20AC;? said Crown Castle representative Rebecca Hunter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have, in cases where it makes more sense, provided our own utility poles where that infrastructure may not exist.â&#x20AC;?

In this case, company would also like to establish an agreement with the city, giving Crown Castle the ability to install nodes on city-owned light poles, buildings, and other infrastructure. The total number of installations is currently planned at 93 DAS nodes. Predictably, there are major concerns when it comes to the installation of a DAS system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this case they are aesthetics, safety and financing. Council President Lloyd Martin was the first to note that, although Crown Castle seems to give the nodes a neutral appearance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not very attractive.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be crazy about seeing this on every pole in town,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. Secondly, there is the concern of electromagnetic frequency radiation from the nodes, although this is a risk associated with nearly any electronic device. So far, no scientific studies have been able to quantify the amount of risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going in residential neighborhoods,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Tony DeLuca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one really knows the long-term effect. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no definitive answer. But the closer you are to the node, the more dangerous it might be.â&#x20AC;? However, Crown Castle engineer JD McCloskey noted that the DAS system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pose an increase in risk beyond what most people are already exposed to by their own cell phones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things we have in our pockets put out the same frequency at a much higher output,â&#x20AC;? McCloskey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farther you are from an antenna, the more [your phone] has to power up to send a signal. The emissions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re receiving are much higher coming from the mobile on your person than they are coming from the DAS.â&#x20AC;? Finally, there is the question of how much Crown Castle is willing to pay for the right to use city infrastructure to build the DAS. Notably, Crown Castle is a publicly regulated utility. Although it is not a cell phone carrier itself, it provides infrastructure for clients who are and who have right-ofaccess to their customers as common See DISTRIBUTED Page 25

Distributed Antenna System for wireless Internet coming Continued from Page 24 utilities. “Most of the carriers monitor their system and figure out where their needs are,” Hunter said. “They come to us and say ‘we have capacity and coverage concerns in this area, can you work on it?’” “We’re not doing this as a speculative infrastructure build, it’s what our customers have come to us and said ‘can you help us with this?’” Still, the idea of allowing a private company to use city property for business did not sit well. “It’s difficult, for me, for you to use our poles and our city to make money for your private company,” Council Secretary Mary Knight said. “I want to see a lot of data on what you’ve paid other jurisdictions. We have to protect ourselves here.” An outright refusal of Crown Castle, however, would be difficult, Ayres said. “The airways are considered federal,” he noted. “In the Federal Communications Act, there’s a provision that says a jurisdiction cannot just arbitrarily turn down a communication [utility]. They can only say ‘no’ to a certain location, provided there is an alternative that would still meet the public need.” This is the legal guideline behind nearly all utilities to which there is a right of common access, such as elec-

tricity or natural gas. By the same token, the city, for example, could not prevent the gas company’s contractor from building new lines simply because the city did not like the look of the gas meters or thought they should be getting more money because the pipes ran under city-owned streets. There would have to be a more compelling interest to deny citizens’ access to a utility, which cell service is considered to be. Further, Mayor Rick Meehan said, such agreements are not exclusive. Other entities have the right to come and install infrastructure necessary to provide for their users, and they too would have to pay the city if the operation affects public property. “We get asked that a lot about our agreement with Comcast,” Meehan noted. “Anyone else could come in here and provide cable TV as well, it’s just that they haven’t.” The council subsequently voted unanimously to have Ayres work with city staff and Crown Castle on a deal that would meet the council’s expectations. “We can negotiate with them to pay for any location that is city-owned, and we can work with them as to exactly what the node is going to look like so that you all are satisfied that, aesthetically, it’s going to work,” Ayres said.

COUNTY BRIEFS

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following issues during their most recent regular meeting.

Anomalies at landfill Groundwater sampling at the central landfill detected chloroform and a commonly used fuel additive methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), setting off increased monitoring required by the Maryland Department of the Environment. Public Works Director John Tustin said the detected levels were “under health hazard limits.” The increased monitoring will be performed by the contractor already watching the landfill, EA Engineering, at an increased cost of about $32,000.

Fines levied for overflows

than $10,000 allotted for the design of a replacement fishing pier, to which Public Works Director John Tustin said was more than enough. The commissioners ultimately voted to not pursue the design, to the consternation of Lockfaw. “The south end of the county pays the same taxes of the north. I’d like you to keep this in mind if you expect my support in the future,” Lockfaw said.

Mystic Harbour hearing The construction project to connect the water systems of Mystic Harbour, The Landings, and Assateague Pointe is scheduled to begin Aug. 15, and to be completed before March 2016. A public hearing on the project will be held at the April 21 commission meeting. The project is estimated to cost $1.2 million and will be paid for by an upcoming bond issue.

Material failures, and not operator errors, were to blame for a series of sewer leaks dating from June 2011, Public works Director John Tustin said, and are punishable by fines up to $10,000 per day. The Maryland Department of Environment offered to settle all the claims at once for $8,000. Commissioner A. Chip Bertino asked if the county was in a position to negotiate a lower amount, but acknowledged the MDE could demand the entire amount in return. The commissioners agreed to pay the $8,000 fine.

Mosquito budget

When the commissioners reconstructed the boat ramp at Taylor’s Landing, they replaced a vertical bulkhead with riprap where the community had previously been crabbing and fishing. Administrator Harold Higgins reported attending a meeting with community members, former Commissioner Virgil Shockley, and Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw. Higgins said there was less

The county commissioners authorized the continuation of the mosquito control program. The Public Works department reported participation was down from last year, but the change to collecting the $65 per household participation fee up front “seemed to work very well.” The total proposed county funding for the season is $83,940.

In constant use since 2004, the screen to remove debris from wastewater prior to treatment needs to be replaced. Parts can only be ordered from the manufacturer, and will cost an estimated $25,000. County employees will do the work, but will require a field technician from the manufacturer to oversee the process for an additional $3,400. Director John Tustin said current-year budget surpluses in water, sewage collections and treatment plant accounts can pay for the replacement.

Decatur track and field teams win Tuesday’s meet

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) The Stephen Decatur outdoor track and field teams took first place in the five-school meet on Tuesday in Berlin. “I think that we did well in the meet. We had our first meet with pretty good weather so we set some pretty good times that we can hopefully build upon in the future,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “There has definitely been improvement in the first few meets. Hopefully as the season progresses and the weather improves we can continue to grow as a team.” The Lady Seahawks scored 151 points to win the competition. Cambridge was second with 87 points and Snow Hill finished in third place with 37 points. Decatur athletes who earned top honors in their individual events were: seniors Jenna Reimer (1,600 meters, 5:46.4; 3,200 meters, 12:51.9), Hannah Wilson (high jump, 4 feet 10 inches) and Amari Harmon (long jump, 51 feet 1 inch), juniors Lisa Purnell (discus, 82 feet 1 inch) and Takia Long (shotput, 29 feet 11 inches) and sophomore Bethany Williams (triple jump, 30 feet 6 inches). Reimer, senior Meya Chilengi, junior Kayla Lorance and sophomore Peyton Dunham crossed the finish line first in the 3,200-meter relay race (11:23.6).

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Stephen Decatur junior Emily Cook competes in the triple jump during Tuesday’s meet in Berlin. She finished in third place with a jump of 27 feet 4 inches.

Junior Katie Hofman and sophomore Claire Billings joined Dunham and Chilengi for the 1,600-meter relay event. The girls won the race in 4:50.2. The Decatur boys’ team scored 138 points. Cambridge was runner-up with 97 points and Snow Hill took third with 53 points. Seahawks who earned victories in their individual events were: seniors Jakhai Woodard (100-meter dash, 12 seconds), Parker Harrington (1,600 meters, 4:57; 800 meters, 2:03.5), Ruben Ortega (300-meter Intermedi-

ate hurdles, 43.5 seconds), junior Evan Haas (pole vault, 10 feet) and sophomore Justin Longest (shotput, 38 feet 7 inches). Woodard, senior Sean VelazquezAlvino and sophomores Avante Purnell and John Curtis logged a first-place finish in the 400-meter relay race (46.4 seconds). Junior Zach Bernal, VelazquezAlvino, Purnell and Curtis won the 800-meter relay event (1:37.9). The next track meet is Wednesday, April 15 at 4 p.m. in Stevensville.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team pulled out a 9-7 win over the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tuesday, and the next day, the Mallards topped St. Maria Goretti 16-8. The score was tied 2-2 after the first quarter in Salisbury Tuesday. The Mallards netted three shots in the second quarter to go into the break ahead 5-2. After three quarters, the Prep squad held a 6-5 advantage over Bennett. Freshman Sam Cantello led the Mallards with four goals and two assists. Junior captain Wyatt Richins contributed with three goals and three assists. Tucker Brown, a freshman, tallied one goal and an assist. Sophomore Patrick Petrera, scored one goal and had an assist against his former team. “We had flashes of brilliance on the offensive end and we had some good stops on defense. We’ve just got to put it together,” said Prep Coach Kevin Gates. Assistant captain Ross Dickerson, a junior, won 14 of 18 face-offs and scooped up nine ground balls. Junior goalie Wade Walter, an assistant captain, stopped 20 Bennett shots. The Goretti Gaels traveled to Berlin on Wednesday to face the Mallards. “I thought we’d have some chances on offense and we did. We made 16 of them count,” Gates said. The Prep team scored four unanswered goals before St. Maria Goretti got on the board in the first quarter. “It started with the first face-off,” Gates said. Dickerson won the opening face-off and it was capped off with a Cantello goal 49 seconds into the game. Worcester tacked on six goals in the second quarter to lead 10-4 at halftime. At the end of the third, the Mallards held a 13-5 advantage. Both teams added three goals in the final quarter. “Our guys, for the most part, played a pretty smart game,” Gates said. Petrera was Worcester’s top producer with five goals. Cantello chipped in with three goals and three assists. Freshman Brendan Miller logged three goals and an assist.

Seahawks play with ‘a lot of heart’ in victory

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) What did it take for the Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team to get a 7-5 win over the Easton Warriors on Wednesday in Berlin? “A lot of heart. That’s what it came down to,” said Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum.

Senior Shane Moore put Decatur on the board just over a minute into the game. Easton scored twice, but two goals by senior captain Corey Gwin provided the Seahawks with a 3-2 lead in the first quarter. The visiting Warriors tallied two goals in the second quarter to pull ahead 4-3 going into the halftime break.

Senior captain Matt LeCompte evened the score 4-4 about a minute and a half into the third quarter. He then assisted sophomore Steve Alther’s goal less than two minutes later. Shortly after, LeCompte injured his hamstring and spent the rest of the game on the sideline. “Matt LeCompte pulled his hamstring it looks like. Steve was out for a little bit because he got wrecked a few times,” Lathroum said. “Anytime you play a team that’s physical it’s a very physical game.” Easton tied it 5-5 at the 4:32 mark,

but Alther answered with a goal 1:14 before the end of the third quarter. Gwin gave Decatur a two-goal cushion with about five minutes to play. “We played really good defense, got ground balls and we finished some shots,” Lathroum said. “When we needed ground balls we got them. Shane Moore got some ground balls late in the game that were fantastic.” Decatur goalie, senior captain Will Hastings, stopped six Easton shots. The Seahawks will hop on the bus to Ridgely today, Friday, to take on the North Caroline Bulldogs at 5:30 p.m.

Decatur’s team chemistry coming along, Patnode says By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) One thing Stephen Decatur softball Coach Heather Patnode can say about the Lady Seahawks is that they don’t give up. “Overall, we are improving every day and really looking more like a varsity team,” she said of the young squad. “There Heather Patnode have been a few games that we are down and come back to make it interesting. That’s awesome to see. Their team chemistry is coming along better as well, really learning who can do what and who works especially well together.” Despite trailing by six runs on 3

Tuesday to the Wi-Hi Indians in Salisbury, the Seahawks battled back but came up short 6-3. “The first inning is what put us behind. Wi-Hi scored four runs off of one hit, two walks and three errors by us,” Patnode said. “They scored their fifth run in the second off our two errors…then their sixth run was in the sixth inning, off an error and one hit.” Decatur earned its three runs in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Sam Kefauver hit a single to right field which brought home sophomore Maria Karacoulakis. Junior Jade Pontious doubled to left field, scoring two. Junior Madelynn King was on the mound for Decatur. She struck out five, allowed four hits and walked two. Decatur will host the North Caroline Bulldogs today, Friday, at 4 p.m.

WP girls’ lax team earns 16-7 win over JMB ‘From the goalie all the way up to the attack line looked pretty good,’ coach says

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) Last week Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker and the Lady Mallards discussed what the group needs to do to be successful for the rest of the season. “We talked about coming back this week and reevaluating what we

wanted to do, if we wanted to stay at the plateau we were at – coming out flat and dropping passes that we know we should be catching – or moving up and working on those small things [to improve],” Flounlacker said. “I think they did a good job with that [Tuesday]. From the goalie all the way up to the attack line looked pretty good.” The Mallards hosted the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tuesday. It took less than two minutes for the Prep squad to score. Senior Cecily Sass netted Worcester’s first goal. About

40 seconds later, sophomore Karlie Southcomb provided the Mallards with a 2-0 advantage. “From the first possession on offense we had the ball for about two minutes and just that is an improvement,” Flounlacker said. “We’ve been previously just going down and trying to get that immediate look and we’ve been forcing it [and] turning it over and just killing our midfielders. We’ve been trying to work on possessing the ball and I think all of them did a really great job settling down the offense and setting the

pace for the game.” At halftime, the home team led 123. The Mallards won the game 16-7. Southcomb led Worcester with three goals and two assists. Senior captain Molly Soulé chipped in with three goals and an assist. Sophie Brennan, a senior captain, and freshman Marissa Grosso tallied two goals apiece. Sass, senior Caroline Lindsay, junior captain Grace Tunis and sophomores Leigh Lingo, Olivia Bescak and Melissa Laws each scored a goal. See GIRLS Page 32

up and down the field and it looked really good.” The Mallards will take a trip up the road to play the Salisbury School Dragons today, Friday at 4 p.m. On Tuesday, Worcester will head to Centreville to play the Gunston Day Herons at 4 p.m.

Lady Mallards’ ‘determination’ key to victories

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) Many of the matches between Worcester Prep and Parkside tennis players were close during the girls’ competition on Tuesday in Berlin. The Lady Mallards were able to pull out victories and win 7-0, Coach Cyndee Hudson said, because of their “determination.” “I was very proud. They really stepped up,” she said. “They came from behind in a couple of cases [and] they maintained a lead…A lot of the matches were close. They did not represent the final score in most cases.” Senior Tatjana Kondraschow worked hard to earn an 8-5 victory at first singles. “Tatjana’s was back and fourth, 23, 3-all, 4-3, 4-all. It went back and forth until she broke her and got ahead at 7-4 and finished it out,” Hudson said. Senior Mattie Maull and junior Isabel Carulli won their second and third singles matches, respectively, 8-3. Freshman Anchita Batra outscored her fifth singles opponent 8-5. Senior Natalie Twilley and her first doubles partner, junior Erika Smith, took their match 8-3. Sophomores Sambina Anthony and Stormy McGuinness shut out their second doubles competition 8-0. The fourth singles match was last being played and athletes from both schools cheered on their teammates. Worcester’s Fiona Reid, a senior, fell behind early, trailing 1-4. “I just don’t think I was into it [early in the match], like my forehand wasn’t right and then it just clicked,” Reid said. Reid fought back to gain a 7-6 lead and said “it felt better to be more on top of the game.” “I was just thinking, let’s just keep See BOYS Page 33

Decatur baseball team shuts out Wi-Hi 10-0 in five innings

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) The Stephen Decatur baseball team shut out the Wi-Hi Indians 10-0 in five innings on Tuesday in Salisbury. Decatur tallied three runs in the second inning, five in the third and two in the fourth. The Seahawks scored their 10 runs on just four hits. Senior Brooks Holloway and junior Zach Adams

had RBI singles. Freshman pitcher Tristan McDonough struck out seven Indians, gave up two hits and walked one. Holloway finished the fifth with one strikeout. “We pitched well, but [we’re] not taking good offensive approaches,” said Decatur Coach Rich Ferro. “We need to use the whole field and move runners.” Decatur is scheduled to compete against the North Caroline Bulldogs today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin.

Decatur girls’ lax team scores 16-4 win over Easton

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 10, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team outscored the Easton Warriors 16-4 on Wednesday. It was close early, but then “they couldn’t stop us,” Decatur Coach Bob Musitano said. The visiting Lady Seahawks led 13-2 at halftime. Bob Musitano “We were swarming on defense and they went after all the ground balls,” Musitano said. “It was a well-played game by the whole team. It was a good win for us.” Senior Blair Yesko was Decatur’s top producer with five goals and four assists. Payton VanKirk, a senior, tallied four goals and two assists. Elle Bargar, a junior, chipped in with three goals and an assist. Senior captain Jillian Petito stopped eight shots in 40 minutes of play.

Dean to play pro Ultimate Frisbee

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) The complexity of the game’s strategy, the quick switch from offense to defense after a turnover and the vigilance required to keep tabs on every player of the field are what drew Bryant Dean, 30, to high-level Ultimate Frisbee. “I played basketball and tennis through high school, but I found I prefer team sports,” Dean said, “I started at Salisbury University and continued with the pickup leagues while I was lifeguarding at Assateague, but I was always hopeful for the pros.” Dean landed at Salisbury University in 2005, where the game found him. “It’s easy to play but there’s a lot going on. At the top end of the game it can get great and be very nuanced. When I explain that level of play in football terms, it’s like playing seven-on-seven with one quarterback and six receivers.” This is where the beauty of the game emerges for Dean, and his passion for the sport is evident. “I love watching teammates flow offensively, because I think it’s the prettiest part of the game. As a defensive player I like to see good offensive work,” he said.

Watching what the offense is doing, and moving to support it is one of Dean’s strengths as a player. “You have to play all the angles to maximize your defensive advantage — that’s how you win games,” he said, “The angles are more important than the oneon-one matchups. I want to be the guy taking away the most options for the offense. I want to be the guy making sure your guy never touches the disc.” He’s knowledgeable and passionate, which can come across as overbearing to someone without a deep understanding of the game, until his advice clicks. “The more options you see the more you can do and more fun you can have. When you see the change in what happens to players as they begin to understand the game, I get really pumped up on that. I learn and get good at things so I can show other people. In that way I can give back to the game,” he said. Dean said he plans to utilize his place on the D.C. Breeze to further his understanding of the game, and give back to the communities who have supported him. “I began this quest three years ago,” he said, upon discovering that professional Ultimate Frisbee was an option. He began training, practicing and

playing to improve his skills and understanding. He joined the Baltimorearea club team Medicine Men and Beach Ultimate club team Humiliswag with Breeze teammate Alex Jacoski. When open tryouts were announced this year, he knew he was ready. “You get better by playing with better people. I’m excited for the opportunity,” he said. The free pickup games at the Northern Worcester athletic fields in Berlin on Monday nights at 6 p.m. resumed last week and will continue until late September at least. Newcomers, or the merely curious are encouraged to drop in. Running shoes and a desire to play are all that’s required. The Beach league starts in early June and costs $60 for a 10-week season. Free pickup games have started in advance of the season, located at Somerset Street at 6 p.m. weather permitting. The Beach season will be capped with the second Ocean City Beach Classic August 15-16, 2015 in downtown Ocean City. The roster will expand to 24 mixed-gender teams in a five-on-five format this year.

BRIAN GILLILAND/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Getting acquainted with his new view is Pino Tomasello, owner and chef of Sello’s opening soon in West Ocean City. Tomasello will run the line himself, and have a perfect vantage of the new dining room.

Tomasello: ‘It’s not Fresco’s West’ Sello’s to be West Ocean City’s ‘secret spot’ for quiet night out for couples

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Deciding to close a popular and beloved restaurant is not an overnight decision. It’s a culmination or confluence of events leading to necessary change. Pino Tomasello was, by his own account, ready for a transformative change that could not be possible at Fresco’s. “I created it with many years of love and care. I gave 15 years to Fresco’s. I loved it and am very proud of the clientele we created with friends. We had many great years, but the time for Sello’s had come. I was too involved with the restaurant and had no life for myself or my family,” he said. Tomasello had, for several years, owned the former Avery Gallery, a purple explosion of a hair salon (in its most recent former life) on Golf Course Road he decided to completely renovate in order to create Sello’s. Out went the purple, in came sleek earth tones of copper awnings, rugged seasoned brown doors and wrought iron fixtures. In came a wood-fired brick oven, not just for pizza, but other dishes as well.

“I don’t want to repeat the same menu. We’re right next to the dock so I want to do Italian food with a lot of seafood. We have a brick oven, but it’s not a pizza place,” he said. Tomasello also doesn’t want to compete with other area restaurants, almost all of which offer some kind of view of the water only a stone’s throw away. Sello’s has no windows; it has atmosphere. Even in its unfinished state, opening in just two weeks, the design elements that are in place generate an upscale, rustic feeling while the photographs, many taken by the man himself, add a splash of color. “This one is right outside my house in Italy,” he said, pointing to a cascade of Italian cottages. “I want people to come for a nice night out, perhaps without the kids,” he said, “Fresco’s, with Jive, was about 300 seats. You have to balance quality with quantity, and I’d never serve anything I wouldn’t eat myself, when you have to fill that kind of space,” operations can take on a life of their own, he said. That was the life he was rejecting when he sold Fresco’s in favor of the 90-seat Sello’s. “I love this little location, it’s just the way I want it. It’s a small place so I can cater to a specific customer. I’d like to get a younger crowd and have a little fun with a change in ambiance and atmosphere,” Tomasello said. Younger, but not too young.

Tomasello said Sello’s is targeting couples looking for a quiet night out, any time of year. The restaurant may close in January for vacation, but Tomasello intends to keep it running the rest of the year. West Ocean City, Tomasello said, is less about the noise and bustle than the resort in summer, and he intends to create a space a little bit off the beaten path to provide that to people in the know. While Sello’s will have a bar, it’s not affiliated with any one sports team. While there is a small area that could be used for performances, bands have not yet been booked. And, while he is trying to draw couples, he is discouraging them from bringing small children. “You go to eat and you have small kids next to you and everyone around you is affected. So, if you show up we can make arrangements but we don’t have many highchairs here,” he said. Pino and wife, Karen, live down the road from their new restaurant. They no longer need to fight bridge traffic to go to work in the morning or come home at night. They no longer need to worry about how to make ends meet by filling 300 seats each night. “Everything comes with a price. This is just me, my wife and nobody else. No partners or anything. Just us. I’ve reached my goal: Fresco’s was one of the top restaurants. Now it’s time for a little fun.”

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (April 10, 2015) New homeowners are sometimes surprised at how much money it requires to maintain their home. Some estimates say to reserve annually approximately 1-3 percent of a home’s purchase price for routine maintenance. But if you are handy, or willing to learn, many of the most common house maintenance repairs can be DIY (Do It Yourself—we probably all know that term from watching hours of HGTV). Below is a list of five common, yet inexpensive, repairs a house will require, and estimates for material costs: 1. Replacing caulk: Keeping caulk in good condition is essential to avoiding more costly water damage repairs. Caulk needs to be kept free of any cracks or peeling to prevent rot and mold growth in the bathroom. Material costs are under $2-10 for tube of caulk and tool to dig out the old caulk. (Exterior caulking maintenance is also very important, especially around windows.) 2. Repairing a faucet: To get rid of the constant dripping noise and water loss, fixes can range from replacing damaged washers, O-rings or a faucet cartridge. Material cost estimate $2-30. 3. Repairing a toilet tank: Besides being a noisy nuisance, a leaking toilet tank can cause a higher utility bill. Many times a leaking toilet tank needs a new flapper. One way to tell if your toilet tank is leaking is to drop in food coloring and if the color fades without having been flushed, it would indicate a leak. Material cost estimate $12-25. 4. Repairing drywall: Drywall dings happen, but it’s much less costly to perform regular touch ups than to repaint an entire house. Keeping your paint cans labeled well with date of purchase, color name/number and the room it was used in will help keep your paint organized. It’s a good idea to use your own label on the paint can with a Sharpie pen, as the print labels that come on the can of paint tend to fade over time and are hard to read. Material cost estimate $20-80, to include paint, spackle, brushes, etc. See DIY Page 36

DIY maintenance saves big $ for enterprising homeowners Continued from Page 35 5. Gutter upkeep: Gutters are designed to not be noticeable, but ignoring them as a homeowner can be a costly mistake. A gutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job of capturing water and debris and diverting it away from your house is crucial to the integrity of your foundation and maintaining a dry crawl space. Clean

your gutters at least once a year by physically removing debris and making sure your gutters are sturdily attached to your house trim/fascia. Material cost for replacement hangers and sealant $15-25. Lauren Bunting is a licensed REALTOR with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Home care nursing service moves into West Ocean City

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Nurse Professionals Home Care LLC celebrated its move to West Ocean City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last month. The company opened in February 2000 in Kent Island, then moved to Ocean City four years ago. It was relocated to West Ocean City in February. According to the company’s website, Nurse Professionals Home Care provides support and services through companionship services or skilled nursing care to “improve lives and enable independent living at home.” Nurse Professionals Home Care President Anita Logsdon Battista said she started the company after seeing a need for “quality RN and allied health staffing.” “I have always been in the medical field,” she said. “I was a medical sales manager for a medical equipment company upon graduation from college [and] went back to college for a third college degree in nursing and worked as a OR/PACU RN at a large Baltimore hospital.”

Battista said Nurse Professionals Home Care expanded “out of the continued growth of the company and the need for more office space.” Nurse Professionals Home Care is the only company on the Eastern Shore licensed for both nursing and allied health staffing and home care. Battista said the company focuses on care on the Eastern Shore, although licensing allows Nurse Professionals Home Care to serve the entire state. “We provide hospital staffing for some hospitals in the Baltimore-Washington areas through the Maryland Hospital Association,” Battista said. “The demand for home care is growing as more people are living longer and are more multi-symptom. The concern in home care and in care for our aging population is how to pay for this care. In our initial RN Assessment meeting with a client, we cover what options may be available to help to pay for these services.” Nurse Professionals Home Care is located at 9921 Stephen Decatur Highway, Suite C3. For more information, call 443-664-6915 or visit www.nurseprofessionalshomecare.com.

cate meighan inside going out think one of the hardest things that you can ask a writer to do is to either write a bio or an introduction of some kind about themselves. Like right at this very moment I could easily tell you details about how the Yankees are losing in their season opener (no, I'm not a fan) or how I'm as baffled as everyone else is about Rolling Stone saying they won't fire the writer that didn't fact-check on the UVA rape story. Oh and I can hardly wait for Bruce Jenner's sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer later this month because I want to hear his story once and for all, from him. See, I can easily talk about everything except myself, but here it goes. Who is Cate? Well, I fell into this writing thing on a whim a really long time ago. It took me years to stop trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life and to instead understand that I was already doing it. I have covered a lot of ground and have written for a multitude of national and international publications. You guys may have seen me on Music Times, Celeb Dirty Laundry or Huffington Post to name a few. Since I've been marketed as a “pop culture expert” I am lucky enough to do a lot of radio interviews across the country on entertainment news. You also may already know me from Ocean 98 because each Friday morning I get to hang out with Bulldog and the boys, dishing the latest Hollywood news and whatever else they choose to throw at me. It truly is my favorite interview of the week, especially now that I'm local. About six months ago my husband and I packed up the family and decided to abandon long NYC commutes in favor of beach life and the Coolest Small Town in America and we have never regretted it. So here I am and the amazing gang at Ocean City Today has offered me a weekly opportunity, not just to report on local entertainment, but to really get to know you See CATE Page 42

“The diorama represents the past, present and future of Ocean City in that my childhood memories, the present businesses shown and the future of solar power, are all represented,” Michael Panco said.

Local couple finalists in Peeps diorama contest

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Lola and Michael Panco were top five finalists in Washington Post magazine’s ninth annual Peeps diorama contest for their depiction of Ocean City. “I grew up here, was born and raised,” Michael Panco said. “The diorama represents the past, present and future of Ocean City in that my childhood memories, the present businesses shown and the future of solar power are all represented.” “Peep City: the Sweetest Place on Earth” was the mastermind of creative genius, Lola Panco. She constructed the city out of a foam board with flexible foam sheets to sculpt waves, a boardwalk and beach into her colorful display. Wooden coffee stirrers were used to depict the boards with a Ferris wheel full of Peep pairs overlooking the resort Boardwalk and ocean. “She took it in a different direction and really put our home on the map,” Michael Panco said. “It is a happy moment in time and hopefully sparks interest in the artists here.” Ocean City favorites, Jolly Roger

Lola and Michael Panco were top five finalists in Washington Post magazine’s ninth annual Peeps diorama contest for their depiction of Ocean City.

Amusements, Candy Kitchen, Sea Quest, Coldwell Banker and her husband’s business, Ultra Solar and Wind Solutions, were given acknowledgment in various areas of the diorama. The essence of springtime in Ocean City is felt with a miniature Assateague Island pony, a Peep version of “Boardwalk Elvis” or Norman Webb singing among chicks and a marlin swimming in the ocean. Lola worked for almost two weeks to engineer “Peep City” with Popsicle sticks, Easter eggs and Peeps every-

where, Michael Panco recalled. Her masterpiece was actually constructed a year prior, but after missing the diorama contest deadline in 2014, Peep City sat in her mother-in-law’s sunroom until this year’s contest. “It’s the dream all in one, the perfect world. We were trying to represent an Ocean City utopia—you know you want to live in that world,” Michael Panco said. Peep City was featured in the Washington Post magazine on SunSee PANCOS Page 43

guys – especially the locals who keep this area thriving all year long. It's easy to just cover a local bar scene, but then that will only appeal to one select group of readers. My real goal is for you not to know where I'll turn up with my camera next because, in my mind, that will be balanced coverage. Since I was already late to the party that is this issue of Ocean City Today and it was a holiday weekend, I was really in family mode this past week. In the end that worked out perfectly because there was just so much going on for kids, starting with Berlin's Spring Celebration. Through the Looking Glass featured a cupcake-eating contest, games, face painting and a hat parade. The local merchants (as usual) pulled together to make sure that it was a great day for the hundreds of little ones that were in attendance. It really doesn't take that much to make little kids happy and this event really started the holiday weekend off right. I also had an opportunity to check out Piaza, which just opened its doors at the Ocean Landing Shops near WalMart in Berlin on Saturday. While it was originally dubbed a “soft opening,” let me tell you, this place was jam-packed. David Crocetti first got the idea of opening up his own brick oven pizza place while laying on the beach several months ago and after spending a few minutes chatting with him it was obvious that once his mind is set on something, it becomes reality pretty quickly. After owning four different Sonic restaurants, Crocetti also has the business smarts to pull off such a lofty new endeavor. Piaza's slogan of “Fresh, Fast & Fiery” fits the business perfectly. Crocetti spent six months perfecting his own pizza dough and learning to cook with a flame-fired 1000-degree brick oven. He also mastered the Piada, which is Italian pasta grilled with flat bread and a variety of

meats, cheeses, sauces and veggies. Think of it as an Italian burrito, now know that it's better and tastier than you're expecting it to be. The offerings at Piaza will leave salad fans feeling like they are in bigger city like New York, where build-yourown-salad places are as common as coffee shops. Crocetti's vision for a beautiful building, in a busy location with a huge flame-fired brick oven might have been the easiest part of the equation. Getting a bunch of brand new employees to serve a long line of people winding out the door as quickly as possible – with an everchanging menu – was a pretty tough task, but I have to say, they really kept things moving. The pizza's themselves only take three minutes in the oven that is the true focal point of Piaza. I created a few pizzas and grabbed a

Grilled Chicken Pesto Piada and waited only four minutes for my food to be cooked right in front of me. The brand new staff didn't appear stressed at all. In fact, if you weren't a local or hadn't seen the “Grand Opening” sign out front, you really wouldn't think this place was brand new when it comes to their efficiency and service. I know, the biggest question is about the food itself so let me tell you, my gourmet pizza was cooked perfectly and the Piada was so good. I love pesto but really hate smelling like it for two days, so I almost didn't order the Grilled Chicken Pesto Piada, but in the end I was glad that I did. It was really mild but the flavor was still great.

Trust me, the next time you run into WalMart to grab shampoo and scotch tape (only to end up with nine bags and a wallet $100 bucks lighter) you really should venture across the parking lot to grab some great food at Piaza. *** If you hit the boards at all this past weekend you certainly weren't alone. It's already beginning to look and feel like summer is getting a little bit closer. Jolly Roger at the Pier just reopened for the season and Brian Berk, one of the managers, said that they were seeing a pretty steady stream of business even though some of the rides aren't yet up and running. Shenanigan’s Irish Pub & Grille on the Boardwalk at Fourth Street, was also packed with adults grabbing a quick drink before heading home to play Easter Bunny later that night. *** There's a lot to do coming up this weekend starting with 49th Street hotspot, Seacrets’ presenting the inaugural 12 Pack of Local Music and Beer Fest on Saturday, April 11 from 1-6p.m. The cost is $30.

Pancos place in top five out of 419 Peeps contest entries Continued from Page 41 day, but has already gained some attention from community members. The Ocean City Art League wants to display the diorama at its headquarters on 94th Street after a month-long stint at National Harbor in Washington D.C. Candy Kitchen owner found out about being featured in Peep City and asked the duo to make a custom diorama out of candy to be displayed in the store. The Pancos diorama was up against 419 total entries with the winning one being a rustic landscape with hidden Peeps. The others rounding out the top five were a recreation of Kim Kardashian’s infamous Paper magazine cover, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and Peeps trespassing on the White House.

The contest brings American culture into the mix by revealing events, people or places thought about and forgotten by others this year. Peep City, the winner and other notable dioramas will be on display for the next month at National Harbor in Washington D.C. Unlike the other finalists in the competition, the Pancos were firsttime contestants and plan to participate next year. “She always pulls stuff together in amazing form. It was made for the people to love it and we’re happy,” Michael Panco said.

For those not familiar with the art form of rug hooking, a hand hook is used to pull loops of fabric through different types of backing such as cotton, wool or a burlap sack.

tive to portrait including handcrafted rugs, wall hangings and a handbag. “You never quite know what you’re going to get,” Johnson said. Working at Dunes Manor Hotel first introduced Johnson to rug hooking 16 years ago and she has been certified for seven. Rug hooking was started hundreds of years ago when people would take seed sacks and old clothing to hook, she said. These days, four participants are bringing their husbands to Ocean City

to partake in events the town has to offer including golfing and fishing, while their wives are constructing patterns, Johnson said. Classes will begin at 9 a.m. each day with a break at 11:30 p.m. for lunch. Afternoon classes run from 1-3 p.m. with tea rounding out each day at 3 p.m. Students will eat dinner at the hotel each night at 6 p.m. For more information, contact Johnson at 410-251-2888 or email lpt219@comcast.net.

Music and craft beer at Seacrets

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Seacrets’ inaugural “12 Pack of Local Music and Beer Fest,” featuring live bands and craft brews, will take place Saturday, April 11, from 1-6 p.m. “It’s a fun and different event for the springtime,” said Seacrets General Manager Scott Studds. “It’s a good way to showcase our newly renovated room, which will provide another stage to entertain our guests and introduce craft beers.” Attendees can sample about a dozen craft beer from six local breweries, which will be paired with complimentary food. “We asked for suggestions from the breweries on what food pairs work well with the beer they are bringing,” Studds said. Burley Oak from Berlin, Evolution out of Salisbury, Dogfish Head from Milton, Del., Fin City of West Ocean City, DuClaw from Baltimore and Fordham & Dominion out of Dover, Del. are the local breweries slated to provide samples. This is the first time Seacrets has hosted an event involving craft beer, Studds said. Burley Oak will be offering an IPA, with a lower alcohol content, and Tart Attack, a sour red American ale, which has a sweet and sour taste with cherry notes. “I think it’s great for the whole local craft industry that one of the

largest restaurants and bars in the area is having a craft beer event,” said Burley Oak founder, Bryan Brushmiller. “It is a delight to be a part of and were excited about it.” Fin City’s Jackspot Amber Ale is on tap at Seacrets and features six varieties of malts that give it a biscuit and toasty flavor with a hint of caramel. Look forward to tasting the company’s White Marlin Pale Ale at the beer fest, which will provide attendees with a smooth taste, full of flavor and a crisp finish. Blackfin Black IPA is also on the menu, which is brewed with pale and mild roasted malts. It has a floral, citrus hop blend taste. “It’s going to be a fantastic event with local bands and regional and local craft brews,” said Patrick Brady of Fin City. “It’s a unique movement to see Seacrets go from selling domestics to the craft world and we are really excited about the event.” There will be several bands playing throughout the 49th Street venue at the Tiki Stage, Main Bar and Morley Hall nightclub. Expect to see bands based out of Delaware, Virginia and Maryland, Studds said.

Annual Multiple Sclerosis Walk in Ocean City, April 11 Funds raised benefit more than 10,000 people living with disease in Maryland By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) Come out to the Boardwalk on Saturday morning, April 11, to help eradicate Multiple Sclerosis during Ocean City’s 20th annual MS Walk. “When participating in Walk MS, the funds raised give hope to more than 10,000 people living with MS in Maryland and more than 600 people living here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with the disease,” said Whitney Pogwist, development coordinator at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. “The dollars raised support promising research to stop the disease and restores function that has been lost to end MS forever.” The walk begins at 10 a.m. at the inlet. Walkers will head down the Boardwalk to 19th Street, turn around and come back. Registration is free and opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday for participants who did not preregister. Entertainment will be provided by Twisters Gymnastics from Berlin and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore cheerleading squad will be cheering on the walkers. Lunch will be provided by Pizza Tugos, in addition to treats from Fishers Popcorn and Candy Kitchen. Ocean City is the kickoff location for all MS walks in Maryland, where 11 others will be going on throughout the state during 2015. There is a total of 550 MS walk sites nationwide with more than 330,000 participants this year, Pogwist said. On Tuesday, 46 teams had signed up, which is more than the 44 teams who participated last year in Ocean City. A total of 532 walkers took to the boards in 2014 and organizers expect close to 600 people at this year’s event, she added. The MS Walk in Ocean City raised $79,297 in 2014. The goal is to bring in $85,000 this year. With no registration fee, the event generates funds from personal donations to the organization and by participants. The Ocean City Walk has raised more than $1 million since its inception 20 years ago. “Walk MS connects people living

with MS and brings all kinds of people together,” Pogwist said. “It is an experience unlike any other, a day to come together, to celebrate the progress we’ve made and to show the power of our connections.” Lori Heinz-Giampa has been battling MS for 21 years and will be participating in Saturday’s walk with her team, “Lori’s Angels.” “I feel you need to stay strong, have a positive attitude and not forget the power of prayer,” Heinz-Giampa said. “You cannot worry about yesterday because it’s gone, tomorrow is not here yet, focus on the moment.” She first participated in Walk MS about 12 years ago when she still lived in Pennsylvania and her son was 5 years old. “Lori’s Angels” was established in Pennsylvania and she brought the team with her to Ocean City when she moved to Berlin eight years ago. This Saturday, a couple of her Pennsylvania friends will be participating as well as local team members she has recruited. “It is awesome just from the support alone and makes your fight worth it when you have family and friends who support you,” she said. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the disease is not contagious and is not directly inherited, and most people with MS have a normal or near-normal life expectancy. The majority of people with MS do not become severely disabled, but the disease can cause blurred vision, loss of balance, poor coordination, slurred speech, tremors, numbness, extreme fatigue, problems with memory and concentration, paralysis and blindness. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, although individuals as young as 2 and as old as 75 have developed it. At least two to three times more women are diagnosed with the disease than men. Approximately 400,000 Americans are living with MS. Every hour, someone is newly diagnosed with MS in this country. Worldwide, MS affects about 2.1 million people. There is no cure for the disease, but there are FDA-approved medications that have been shown to “modify” or slow down the underlying course of MS. For more information about MS or the walk, visit www.walkMSmaryland.org or call 800-FIGHT-MS.

Hundreds of people are expected to stroll the Boardwalk this Saturday during the 20th annual Ocean City walk to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Serve eggs florentine for breakfast, brunch Place sautéed spinach on toasted ciabatta, top with egg and hollandaise sauce

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 10, 2015) According to Food History, the origin of eggs Benedict is varied and final conclusion cannot be definitely determined. But the various stories that surround the creation of the infamous dish are quite fascinating and deserve awareness since April 16 is National Eggs Benedict Day. In 1837, the very first fine dining restaurant, Delmonico’s, opened in New York City. It was during these early years that Chef Alessandro Fellippini developed the restaurant’s specialty, the Delmonico steak. But that was not the only renowned dish on the menu. In the 1860s, a regular patron of the restaurant, Mrs. Legrand Benedict, was tired of the usual menu and produced a new idea with the help of Chef Charles Ranhofer. While we are on the subject of Chef Ranhofer, Food History has a rather interesting theory about an-

other possible origin of eggs Benedict. French Provincial Cooking by Elizabeth David is a culinary odyssey throughout provincial France. In her book, David describes a traditional French dish oeufs benedictine (eggs benedictine) consisting of brandade (a puree of refreshed salt cod and potatoes), spread on a triangle of fried bread. A poached egg is then set on top and adorned with hollandaise sauce. If Charles Ranhofer was familiar with oeufs benedictine; it might explain how his interpretation was influenced by this French classic. The saga of the beginning of eggs Benedict continues. Mr. Lemuel Benedict, a wealthy stockbroker, was known for his man-about-town persona. Supposedly he suffered from a hangover one particular morning in 1894 and decided to have breakfast at the WaldorfAstoria. He ordered two poached eggs, bacon, buttered toast, a side of hollandaise, and constructed the dish that bears his name. Lemuel’s innovation attracted the attention of Oscar (the maitre d’) of the Waldorf Astoria. Oscar experimented with the ingredients and to this day Waldorf Astoria website reads, “Oscar’s American Brasserie offers casual dining for daily breakfast and weekend brunch. Named for

legendary maitre d’ Oscar Tschirky the man who created the Waldorf Salad and Eggs Benedict–Oscar’s menu features Waldorf favorites in sophisticated art deco surroundings.” In September 1967, Craig Claiborne wrote a column in the New York Times Magazine about a letter he had received from Edward P. Montgomery who indicated that eggs Benedict was created by Commodore E.C.Benedict. In his letter, Montgomery indicated that a recipe had been given to him by his mother who had received it from her brother who was a friend of Commodore. While who first came up with the dish may never be solved, one thing is for sure–eggs Benedict is delicious and just as popular as it ever was. Eggs florentine is a variation on this classic and substitutes spinach for ham. That being said, there are so many adaptations of this particular dish that the only constant variable seems to be the spinach. Eggs florentine is a wonderful addition to one’s repertoire of spring recipes. McCormick Hollandaise sauce mix (1.25 ounces) saves time which is also a good thing. Following is a recipe that combines tradition with a modern twist. Enjoy!

Eggs Florentine

Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 pound fresh spinach 4 slices prosciutto, chopped 4 packages McCormick Hollandaise Sauce Mix 8 slices ciabatta, sourdough, or English muffins 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning 1 tablespoon white vinegar

8 eggs freshly ground black pepper 1. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté garlic and prosciutto for 5 minutes, constantly stirring. Add stock and turn the heat to medium. Add spinach and cook covered until done. Drain spinach mixture in a sieve, pressing gently to remove any excess liquid. Set aside and keep warm. 2. Follow instructions for hollandaise sauce according to the instructions on McCormick Hollandaise Sauce Mix. Set aside and keep warm. 3. Toast ciabatta and again set aside. 4. Fill 12-inch nonstick skillet with 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, vinegar and simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg in a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Slowly slide the egg into the water. Repeat this process for each egg. Using a spoon, carefully stir the water around the edges of the eggs. Cook for 2 to 2 ½ minutes until the white has set and the yolk is still soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the water one at a time and carefully drain on paper towels. 5. To serve, place sautéed spinach on top of toasted ciabatta. Top with poached egg and spoon 3 tablespoons of the hollandaise over each egg. Serve at once with remaining sauce on the side for each guest. Add fresh ground pepper to taste. * If one is serving brunch, each guest should get two open-faced portions. If you are serving breakfast, each guest should get one open-faced portion. Serves 4 Secret Ingredient - Ability. “I shut my eyes in order to see.” – Paul Gauguin

About $3 million raised so far for building project Continued from Page 49 based palliative care and bereavement support, McNeill said. “There will be a medical care facility and the goal is to make it feel just like home as much as we can make it,” McNeill said. The annual event has raised more than $106,000 to date and last year $20,000 was collected to fund the structure. Coastal Hospice has raised about $3 million of the $5 million needed to start construction, she said. The event is typically a sellout. As of Tuesday, organizers have sold about 150 tickets. The event is capped at 225 people. The cost is $95 per person. Reservations can be made at CoastalHospice.org or by calling 410641-5481. “It has become a warm event in Ocean City with longtime folks and committee members coming out to support, which makes it a success,” McNeill said. Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization, which was founded in 1980. It cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties.

James Sapia spaghetti dinner at Shenanigan’s this Sunday By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) The 15th annual James Sapia spaghetti dinner will take place at Shenanigan’s on Fourth Street and the Boardwalk on Sunday, April 12 from 4-8 p.m. “It’s a great family event, especially for the kids, to bring everyone out to dinner,” said Downtown Association’s Administrator, Mary Ann Manganello. “It’s a good way to get everyone out to enjoy the Boardwalk and all profits made go back into the community.” Guests will dine on all-you-caneat spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread, desserts and soft drinks. The Ocean City Downtown Association hosts the dinner in honor of Sapia, who was the organization’s founding president and the brainchild behind having a spaghetti dinner to raise funds. When Sapia died in 2000, the spaghetti dinner was renamed after him. His wife and sons continue to run two restaurants in Ocean City on the Boardwalk, DaVinci’s by the Sea on 15th Street and Ocean View American Grill & Surfin’ Betty’s Beach Bar on 16th Street, Manganello said. A silent auction will feature

items such as an Orioles gift basket with autographed memorabilia, several free hotel stays, golf packages, ice skating vouchers, restaurant gift cards and coupons for free dinners. The Downtown Association was created to serve businesses, residents and visitors to the downtown area of Ocean City. The organization raises money, hosts events and promotes programs to “enhance and improve the quality of life” for vacationers and locals. Money raised during the James Sapia dinner goes toward events such as Light Up Downtown in December, the Drive in Disguise car parade in the fall or helps to operate the Boardwalk Information Cottage for visitors. “It’s the first spring event for community members to come out and see each other,” Manganello said. “Everyone come out and enjoy it.” Tickets can be purchased at the door for $7 per adult and $5 for children ages 5-10. Children 5 and younger eat for free. For more information about the spaghetti dinner or the Downtown Association, call 410-289-1413 or visit http://downtownassociation.net.

Death of Franklin D. Roosevelt remembered

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (April 10, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, saw the death of one of America’s greatest presidents. As Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sitting for a portrait being painted by Elizabeth Shoumatoff, on April 12, 1945, in his vacation home in Warm Springs, Ga., the president raised his hand to his head, exclaiming, “I have a terrific pain in the back of my head,” and slumped over. It was 1 p.m. Within three hours, the Great Man was gone, dead of a cerebral hemorrhage. The artist rushed the president’s mistress, her friend Lucy Mercer Rutherford, from his Warm Springs home, to avoid Mrs. Roosevelt and negative publicity. Doctors were summoned. One telephoned the First Lady and told her that the president had fainted. She said that she would leave Washington immediately after a planned speech. At 3:30 p.m., the doctors pronounced the president dead. He was 63. Mrs. Roosevelt delivered her remarks and was listening to a piano recital, at the Thrift Club, near Dupont Circle, when she was summoned to the White House, where she was told what she already suspected. Her daughter, Anna, arrived and she cabled her four sons, who were all overseas, in the service. Vice President Harry S. Truman was presiding over an uninteresting debate in the Senate. After the debate he went to House Speaker Sam Rayburn’s office for a drink. Before he arrived, Rayburn’s office received a call from the White House asking that the vice president call the White House as soon as he arrived. He arrived shortly at Rayburn’s office shortly thereafter, and made the call. He put down the telephone and raced to his car. He arrived at the White House at 5:30 p.m., at which time Mrs. Roosevelt calmly said, “Harry, the president is dead.” Stunned, Truman asked if there was anything that he could do for her, to which she replied, “Is there anything we can do for you? For you are the one in trouble, now!” A few minutes later a public announcement was made. TruSee XXX Page 54

man was sworn in as president, by Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, less than two hours later. Mrs. Roosevelt, and her daughter, Anna, flew to Warm Springs, after the investiture, arriving at midnight. The president’s cousin, Laura Delano, was one of those women who just had to tell things– no matter how they hurt someone–so she told the First Lady that Mrs. Rutherford had been there when the president was stricken. The hurt was compounded when she learned that Anna had arranged it.

The next morning, as the funeral cortege made its way from the president’s cottage to the train station, past the Marines lining its route, Graham Jackson played “Going Home” on his accordion, with tears running down his cheeks. The president’s bronze coffin was lifted into the rear car of the train that would carry him home, as thousands gathered to quietly say their goodbyes. The First Lady, and her husband, departed Warm Springs for the last time. A sling had been prepared, so that the coffin would be visible in the windows to those outside. After

dark, the lights in the president’s car remained illuminated, so that those before whom the train passed in the night could see the Great Man’s casket. From Warm Springs, Ga., the cortege traveled to Atlanta, where the engines were changed. From Atlanta it proceeded through: Gainesville, Ga.; Clemson to Greenville, S.C., where engines and crew were changed. From Greenville, the train traveled to Spartanburg, S.C. to Charlotte, N.C. and onto Salisbury, N.C., where the crew and engines were changed again.

Thousands line streets for FDR’s funeral procession Continued from Page 53 From Salisbury, it proceeded to Monroe, Va., where crew and engines were again changed. All along the route, hundreds of thousands gathered to say their goodbyes as the president’s train somberly passed. From Monroe, the presidential train proceeded to Washington, arriving at 10 a.m., on April 14. Some half-million people watched as The Great Man’s casket was drawn from Union Station, down Constitution Avenue to 18th Street, turning onto Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House in a mile-long procession, as two military bands played and Army bombers rumbled overhead. President Truman would later write that he would never, “...forget the sight of so many people in grief.” A funeral was held in the East Room of the White House, at 4 p.m. Later that evening, the Great Man was taken, to the Roosevelt family estate in Hyde Park, N.Y., on the Hudson River, in an 18-car train, which was followed by a second train with the B-listers and five truckloads of flowers. Upon arrival, the next morning, the president’s coffin was taken from the train, to his final resting place, in a caisson, drawn by six black-draped horses, followed by a hooded horse with an empty saddle, with its stirrups reversed. After another service, the Great Man

was buried. As his casket was lowered into the ground, West Point cadets fired a 21gun salute. Two million people had lined the tracks from Warm Springs to Washington and from Washington to Hyde Park, at all hours of the day and night, as the Great Man passed for the last time. The reactions on the other side of the Atlantic were decidedly mixed. The German hierarchy was beside itself with glee, for FDR’s passing was interpreted as a positive sign that the war was not lost and that the miracle for which they had hoped, was upon them. It was the last time that anyone saw der Führer smile. The ever suspicious Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, expressed his concern that the Great Man had been poisoned, and requested an investigation. But he was so moved by the death of his wartime ally that he, uncharacteristically, had the news printed on the front page of all the nation’s newspapers. The British Prime Minister, Sir Winston S. Churchill, who had become a close friend of the president, broke down as he addressed the House of Commons, the next day. Undoubtedly, the loss of Roosevelt hastened the onset of the “Cold War,” as Truman did little, to nothing, to assuage Soviet paranoia. NEXT WEEK: SEELOW HEIGHTS Wimbrow writes from Ocean City

(April 10, 2015) The Town of Ocean City is once again offering the opportunity for residential property owners to do their spring-cleaning by providing free residential bulk pick-up on Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12. As an added attraction, Ocean City also will host a Community Yard Sale on April 11 at Northside Park on 125th Street.

Registration open for 20th Delmarva Birding Weekend (April 10, 2015) Registration is open for the 20th annual Delmarva Birding Weekend, which will be held April 23-26. The weekend observes the spring migration of warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors, and the birds that reside on the peninsula year-round. Combining boat trips, paddling treks and expeditions by foot, the weekend takes place in the undeveloped lands and waters that feed into the Chesapeake and Delaware bays and the Atlantic coastal bays. The Delmarva Peninsula is one of the country’s premier birding areas,

thanks to an extensive variety of habitat protected by its coastal parks, refuges and wildlife management areas. On tours led by expert guides, birders will observe hundreds of species on the region’s barrier islands, in tidal salt marshes, cypress swamps, upland fields and forested lands. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the region. “It’s our vast shallow bays and large tracts of protected marshes and bald cypress forests that make the Delmarva Peninsula one of the finest birding regions in the nation,” said See OBSERVE Page 59

In late April, we will see waterfowl that winter here just before they migrate north, and early

Corporate partners honored during opening reception (April 10, 2015) As a nonprofit organization, the Art League of Ocean City depends on partnerships with regional businesses to keep the doors of the Ocean City Center for the Arts open and its community outreach programs going. To honor and thank the businesses that have provided support, the April show at the Arts Center on 94th Street will honor corporate partnerships. The Corporate Partners Show runs April 125, with an opening reception on Friday, April 10 from 5-7 p.m. The public is invited to the free event, and refreshments will be served. During the opening reception, the Art League will present each corporate partner with a matted print of “The Tree Farm” by artist Debra Howard, the winner of last year’s Best in Show. “We truly appreciate the support of our business partners who recognize the importance of the arts to our community,” said Marian Bickerstaff, president of the Art League of Ocean City. “This event is one way for us to thank them.” The Corporate Partners Show is a juried show, which means all submitted art is reviewed and judged by an expert juror. Artwork is accepted into the show based on technical skill, creativity, vision and originality. On opening night, the Art League will award cash prizes to the artists selected for first, second and third place. Also at the Arts Center in April is a show from the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. UMES gallery director Susan Holt selected art from current students,

alumni and faculty, including works from the university’s sequential arts program that includes comic book illustration. “We wanted students to have the experience of seeing their artwork on display in a professional space like the Ocean City Center for the Arts,” Holt said. The Ocean City Center for the Arts shows its dedication to the Town of Ocean City by being a year- round business, open seven days a week, 12 months of the year. Corporations and businesses that partner with the Art League and the Ocean City Center for the Arts show their commitment to their community and their belief in the future of Ocean City as a world-class destination. Taxdeductible partnerships are available at levels from $250 to $5,000. Businesses and corporations interested in a partnership at the Ocean City Center for the Arts should contact Rina Thaler, executive director of the Ocean City Center for the Arts, at 410-524-9433 or rthaler@artleagueofoceancity.org. The Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street is the home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Ocean City area through education, exhibits, scholarships, programs and community art events. The arts center is supported by memberships, corporate and civic funding, donations and sales of art. More information is available at www.artleagueofoceancity.org or by calling 410-524-9433.

clapper rails and chuck-will’s-widows by the twilight marsh. None of our trips is physically taxing, but this is a rare opportunity to tally 100 species in a day in places that are normally inaccessible to birders.” Participating birders will be helping birds by promoting birding and habitat conservation. Birders, both novice and experienced, can make an important statement about the economic value of birds and their habitats through the money they spend in local hotels, restaurants, and shops, Rapp said.

Organizers also encouraged birders to remind local businesses that they are here to enjoy Delmarva’s natural areas and the birds that inhabit them. Registration information, field trip descriptions and resources for Delmarva birding are available at www.DelmarvaBirding.org. The Delmarva Birding Weekend is organized by Worcester County Tourism/The Beach & Beyond. For more information, call 410632-3110 or 800-852-0335 or email tourism@co.worcester.md.us.

Workshop for cancer patients

(April 10, 2015) Sometimes individuals with cancer and their families become so focused on handling the immediate effects of treatment – chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery – that when treatment is complete or nearing completion, no one knows what to do next. During treatment, patients have to navigate emotional as well as physical challenges that go beyond their actual plan of care such as dealing with concerns of nutrition, strength and the ability to go out in public. Managing cancer treatment and recovery is unique for each person. After treatment, there can be the worry of the cancer coming back and confusing feelings of anger or sadness. Although many focus on physical changes, some face unexpected emotional and social issues. One of the most challenging obstacles may be coming to terms with what is now normal. The Regional Cancer Care Center and Supportive Care Services department at Atlantic General Hospital are available to help patients physically and emotionally throughout their recovery. The hospital also offers a new sixweek workshop series, called Living Well – Cancer Thriving and Surviving, for those who are currently undergoing or have completed cancer treatment. The free workshop will take place Mondays, April 13 through May 18 from 13:30 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Community Center. Workshop participants will learn how to manage their pain or fatigue, regain physical fitness during and after treatment, communicate with friends, family and caregivers about the illness, and manage stress and difficult emotions, among other skills. To register, contact Gail Mansell, director of Supportive Care Services at Atlantic General Hospital, at 410-641-9725 or email gmansell@atlanticgeneral.org.

Commentary

OC, county govts. should raise taxes

The difference between government and private business is that government has a longer road down which to kick the can. It can delay, transfer, draw down and reallocate all across the spreadsheet to avoid the one thing it doesn’t want to do: raise taxes. Businesses, on the other hand, have no choice but to respond quickly when finances go south or face the prospect of no longer doing business at all. That is why, as the effects of the last decade’s recession fade from the books in the private sector, governments at all levels are finally seeing the lightless end of the tunnel. Too many times they borrowed, figuratively speaking, against the future with the hope that things would get better sooner rather than later. Projects that were characterized at the time as urgently needed were postponed and the money earmarked for that diverted to day-to-day operations. As a result, hard choices have presented themselves. The county government, which is staring at the prospect of running out of rainy day fund money, will probably have to raise taxes. Ocean City government, while it appears to have sufficient income to support its usual operations, nevertheless has millions of dollars of work to do – millions in road repairs and a roof at Northside Park that was characterized in 2011 as in desparate shape come to mind – that must be done soon, but there’s no additional money to do it unless the City Council raises taxes. City Manager David Recor, while presenting a flat budget that would get City Hall through the year, said as much in his presentation to the council this week. As much as no one wants to hear it, increasing the tax rate is what both the city and county will have to do in the next fiscal year to avoid even greater problems and an even larger tax increases in the year or years immediately following.

Cable TV viewing slips

The poor cable TV industry, which is the only outfit in the world that can sell you 10 things you don’t want so you can get one thing that you do, is losing business. Apparently, there are multiple reasons for this besides the 10-to-one ratio of free-range rednecks and tumor-of-the-week channels to … give me a minute and I’ll think of something. But that would not be the real reason for declining By Stewart viewership, according to these cable carriers, who say Dobson that it’s all about people opting for Internet-based programming from Netflix, Hulu and the like. Not to be too judgmental, but all I know is that it wasn’t too long ago, as we settled in for a quality evening of ignoring each other because we’re watching TV, that our choices – excluding reruns, game shows, real murder investigations, ghost hunting and exquisite Diamonique earrings with flex-pay options available – was “Magnum PI” reruns and – no kidding – “The Man with the 138-pound …” um, rhymes with totem. Really. Fortunately, as we soon discovered, the man with the 138-pound luggage, as it were, had been dropped – possibly because he is no longer alive and therefore not that much fun – and replaced by “My 600-pound Life.” Don’t get me wrong. I’m no Downton Abbey snob, because it features no car chases or explosions, much less any bases-loaded, full-count situations, but the only 600pounder I’d be interested in would be swimming somewhere in blue water and eating mackerel.

PUBLIC EYE

Moreover, the show’s listing in the cable grid also contained the words “bacteria.” This is not a great word to come across in a viewing guide when you have a mouth full of peanuts, although I will say that the dogs looked up at me in gratitude after they (the peanuts) reentered the atmosphere and landed safely on the floor. But this is why people are switching from cable to streaming video and similar services. It’s not because they don’t like cable, it’s because they don’t like all the ridiculously dumb programs the ridiculously dumb number of channels have to come up with to fill their ridiculously dumb number of time slots. I remember when television stations actually went off the air at night when they didn’t have anything to show. That, obviously, is no longer the case, as those channels can always rustle up something like “The 10 Top Most Interesting Earwigs” or “Oxymoron: The Amazing Cleaning Solution.” And then, how many shopping channels do we need? It’s no wonder people don’t have any money – they’re stocking up on essentials in case civilization as we know it ceases to exist: “I know, Harold, the world is ablaze, but I’ll still have smooth and glowing skin thanks to my 10-year supply of ‘Derma-Tight Wrinkle Wasting Pro-Biotic Systems.’ To be fair, the cable companies don’t want to buy all these offerings, but have to because the owners of Good Channel, we’ll say, also own Bad Channel, Bad Channel II, and Worst Channel HD and won’t sell them separately. So yeah, I’m contemplating a viewing switch myself, although I will confess, me switching from sleeping in front of the TV to sleeping in front of the computer would make a great reality series.

Letters to the editor Police force too large for OC

Editor, Cocoa Beach Fla. has a population about 12,000 while Ocean City, Md. has a population of 8,000. Cocoa Beach has 36 full-time police officers while Ocean City has 98 full-time officers. Cocoa Beach has many major events and an influx of large numbers of people like Ocean City does. However they manage to provide adequate policing with 36 officers. Ocean City has far too many full time officers and yet another excessive burden on the taxpayers. Bob Richardson Ocean City

City needs better A/V for meetings Editor, What good are audio/visual provisions if they're not effective? The Town of Ocean City records their council meetings, including the current budgetary work sessions, both visually and audibly. However, both are severely lacking. Routinely many of the elected of-

ficials, staff and public speakers either: * Mumble * Speak too softly into the microphones * Converse in vague generalities Although the city could provide limited headsets, like the county commissioners do, it still would not be comprehensible or even audible to everyone else, whether present or viewing online at home. Visually, the large presentation screen projects print and other images that almost completely lack contrast. This could be corrected very simply by turning down/off some or all of the lights. The only other equipment, a monitor to the left of the dais, is entirely too small for anyone present to see anything. I respectfully request that immediate corrections be made in the interest of the general public having meaningful access to this budget season's timely work sessions (now appearing) and all other subsequent meetings. Thank you in advance for your conscientious consideration of these vital matters. Ellie Diegelmann Ocean City

Seacrets’ bill for distilleries in county now with Hogan By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (April 10, 2015) While numerous steps remain between the plan and the reality, the way has been paved for Seacrets to open a distillery on its 49th Street property. The nightclub/restaurant complex had been distilling its own line of spirits in Delaware, but will bring operations home once it becomes legal to do so. If signed by Gov. Larry Hogan, the legislation will take effect July 1, allowing Seacrets to apply to Worcester County for a limited distillery license as a holder of a class D beer, wine and liquor license. As there was no opposition to the house or senate versions of the bill, the governor is expected to sign it. “Then we have to file for a federal permit, but it needs to become law in Maryland first,” Gary Figgs, vice president of Seacrets, said. Figgs said work has begun to lay out the parcel, adjacent to the Morley Hall now occupied by condominiums. The condos, Figgs said, would be relocated elsewhere on the property. “I think it’s amazing and I’m really happy,” Seacrets owner Leighton Moore said. “It’s certainly going to save money.” Moore said he would be incorporating the distillery into existing plans for Morley Hall, which includes a banquet

facility on what is now the roof plus an added kitchen to support the hall, but no design features are permanent yet. “I still have to go to the bank,” Moore joked. Regulations prohibit the free flow of clientele between the Morley Hall and the proposed distillery, but integration “to a certain extent” was allowable, Moore said. The proposed design will have to take into account the number of tours he can expect to conduct per day, Moore said, and whatever the regulatory bodies that normally oversee Ocean City development have to say. The bills proposing the change to Maryland code had gained wide support locally, with letters of endorsement coming from the Worcester County Commissioners, the HotelMotel Restaurant Association, the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce and the Ocean City mayor and council. There are a few restrictions in that a holder of this type of license cannot begin wholesale operations or sell bottles of liquor through the distillery itself. Neither can it produce more than 100,000 gallons of spirits nor sell more than 15,500 gallons of the product at retail in a calendar year. To increase operations, if all goes well for Moore, Figgs and Seacrets, they would need another license.
