Twelve-time offender gets one more DUI Gerald Lusby, arrested in Del., got out of jail in Jan.

MORGAN PILZ/OCEAN CITY TODAY

EGG SCRAMBLE The search for Easter eggs at Northside Park on 125th Street in Ocean City last Saturday had an element of competition to it, as several children broke out to an early lead in the race for prizes.

By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) Gerald Lusby Jr., 47 of Selbyville, once called Worcester’s most dangerous driver by former Interim State’s Attorney Bill McDermott, led Delaware police on a wild chase through several towns last week. On Feb. 5 of last year, Lusby was convicted by a Worcester County jury in 20 minutes for driving while impaired by alcohol on Sept. 17, 2017 – his 12th drunk driving-related offense. At the time, Judge Richard Bloxom called Lusby’s driving record the most remarkable he’s ever seen and sentenced Lusby to the maximum of three years in jail, and a $1,000 fine. McDermott, who prosecuted Lusby in 2015, said during a previous trial that “He is perhaps the most dangerous driver in all of Worcester County … the See SELBYVILLE Page 6

Foam or algae, it’s still scum Montego Bay couple deals with gooey substance from wind-whipped Assawoman By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) A perfect storm of circumstances is the likely culprit behind the mystery of the sticky, slimy substance that’s been coming off the bay and gooing up the cars and properties of some Ocean City residents. Montego Bay residents Kathleen and Chris Kenny have been plagued for months by an unidentified gunk that has covered their house and their cars,

at times, and even eroded parts of their metal rain gutters. Kathleen Kenny said they moved to the area about five years ago and dealt with the issue about once a year – until last year, when the flying slime started to appear about once a month. “It’s beige, foamy, very viscous, greasy and extremely stubborn to clean,” Kenny said. Along with power washing their home, Kenny said she and her husband must use rags and cleaning products like Windex and Mr. Clean to remove the gunk from their windows and siding. They also take their three vehicles about once a month to a do-it-yourself carwash on 54th Street, because the au-

tomatic carwash “doesn’t get rid of [the slime] completely.” “That makes me question, what is this?” she said, adding, “it’s actually eating through our aluminum gutters.” The Kennys live directly across from the Assawoman Bay, in an area where the bulkhead points to their home like an arrow. “Normally, our home is a direct hit and, depending on how wild the wind gets, the neighbors will get it too,” Kenny said. “The lady that lives directly across from us, she is right on the water [and] she gets it too … the exterior of her house is mostly windows and she See MYSTERIOUS Page 3

Mysterious slime plagues resident Continued from Page 1 gets it on her windows.” Along with dealing with the additional the cost of cleaning products and car washes, Kenny has lost wages from work, because the cleaning process takes up an entire day, she said. “We’ve had people comment about, ‘boy, you’re a busy bee’ or ‘you’re a clean freak.’ And I’m like, did you not notice what exactly we were doing there?” Kenny said. “The people who get the peripheral hit are aware of it, but they don’t live there all the time, so maybe it’s rained hard before they come back down. They just think we had a storm and they got some dirt – they’re not witnessing it firsthand. See ALGAE Page 5

Algae blooms likely behind bay goo Continued from Page 3 “When it was once a year, we thought it was nasty, but it wasn’t so often that I felt compelled to call anybody about it,” she added. Kenny said her biggest question is why the incidents are now occurring so much more frequently. “I wonder, if it is pollution, what kind is it and what’s the source of it,” she said. “It’s definitely blowing up from the bay and it seems to fly up when it’s a northwest wind. “It’s very discouraging,” Kenny added. Assateague Coastal Trust Executive Director Kathy Phillips said she had two theories. First, it could be a type of micro algae. “Most areas of the upper bays kind of have a brownish or mahogany brown color to them that’s called a ‘mahogany tide.’ It’s a particular type of algae, and when the wind blows over it, it stirs up the surface water and it forms this foam,” Phillips said. “Since we’ve been having west winds, it’s probably pushing it up into the canals in Montego Bay.” Phillips said it could also be the result of wind and salt water in the bay. “When the wind consistently keeps blowing over it and forming little whitecaps out in the bay, a salty foam forms. It’s brownish, but it’s a more frothy-looking foam, and it builds up and gets pushed into the canals … and just backs up. So, people start to notice it, because it’s kind of filling in around their docks,” she said. “That happens a lot around here. It can happen in Ocean City and it can happen in Ocean Pines,” Phillips added. If the foam is sticky and corrosive, however, Phillips said that was more likely the result of an algae bloom, or a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae, often recognizable by the discoloration of water from the algae’s pigment. “I have some pictures that someone sent me about a month ago from up in north Ocean City, and it looked like you could walk across the canal,” she said.

Town of Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer said similar resident complaints have come in all winter – roughly from Thanksgiving through February – and she believes it’s the result of algae blooms. In talking with representatives from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Blazer said, the algae bloom is not harmful. “It was just a brown algae and, because we get such fluctuation in temperatures – we get a 70-degree day and a 50-degree day and a 30-degree day – we keep getting these algae blooms and it lasted a couple months,” she said. According to Blazer, an overabundance of nutrients in the bay speeds up the growth of algae and dinoflagellates, or small microorganisms in the water. “We don’t have hydrocarbons or trash – the pollutant of concern is nutrients, which is nitrogen/phosphorus, and that’s what plants grow,” she said. “Plants can grow in the water, so the macro-nutrients are growing in the water and that causes the different colors.” Blazer said high and frequent winds, caused by the storms of late, work to create the foamy substance. “People call me a lot thinking, ‘oh, the hotel is dumping soap suds.’ Well, soapsuds would have been gone in 10 minutes. This is lasting weeks,” she said. What’s more, Blazer said, the foamy substance can then pick up dirt, similar to week-old snow. “After a while, it looks brown, or it looks black because of all the stuff that lays on top of it, all the natural stuff falling out of the sky,” she said. “The same thing happens with this foam. “Then, if the wind starts blowing it up, it’s just churning it up and it’s going to make it air-born,” Blazer added. Unfortunately for the Kennys, they’re in the direct line of fire. “Right where they’re at, if the wind’s coming from the northwest and it’s

blowing hard, it’s just going to blow right up into their house,” she said. The good news is, the substance isn’t toxic. “It’s a natural thing that’s happening,” Blazer said. “It’s not like it’s a pollutant – it’s not going to kill them.” She said the Maryland Department of the Environment has tested the water and no health advisories were issued. “Basically, it’s a natural event,” Blazer said. “Sometimes, you’ve just gotta clean your house off. If she wants to move, I’d hate to see that, but it doesn’t happen every year and it may not happen again. “It’s just part of the natural ecology of the water column and the ecosystem of our estuary,” she continued. “It’s not going to go on forever, but this year seems to be a situation that just all the conditions came [together], like the perfect storm.” Blazer said the best stormwater management practices, such as infiltration trenches, bio-retention and pervious surfaces, are required on new development to reduce such instances. “It micromanages the runoff and gives the water a time to infiltrate and be treated by the soil and vegetation,” she said. “The nutrients in the water [are] also used by trees and shrubs.” She added residents could help reduce nutrient runoff, simply by having landscaping. “The more we can reduce the nutrients going to the bays, the less algae blooms.”

Continued from Page 1 moment he’s incarcerated, Worcester County is a safer place.” Last year, McDermott said the Ocean City Police Department and then Assistant State’s Attorney Lauren Bourdon “may have saved untold lives today with the incarceration of Mr. Lusby. The people of this county can travel our roads with a sigh of relief knowing that Mr. Lusby is in prison for the next three years.” Lusby’s prior citations date back to 1994 and include charges in Annapolis, Hyattsville, Glen Burnie and Upper Marlboro district courts, as well as Howard County and Charles County district courts. According to public records, he has had 31 traffic-related citations in Maryland since 1994, although not all led to convictions. Lusby was at it again last Sunday, earning charges for driving under the influence and resisting arrest, among other charges, in Delaware. According to Delaware State Police, the incident began at about 2:15 a.m., when an officer witnessed a white Chevy Trailblazer speeding on Lighthouse Road, east of Treasure Beach Campground in Fenwick. Lusby, the driver of the vehicle, allegedly refused to stop and led police on a nine-minute chase that finally ended on Peppers Corner Road in Frankford, Delaware. According to a Delaware State Police news release, assisting officers from the Ocean View Police Department used “stop sticks,” or tire spikes, which deflated the tires. The chase, however, did not end there, as police said Lusby abandoned his vehicle and fled into a wooden area, where he was later spotted by Delaware State Police helicopter Trooper 2. According to the release, officers in the helicopter directed troopers on the

Gerald Lusby

ground to Lusby, who was then taken into custody without further incident. Police said an investigation determined Lusby had been driving while drunk. He was charged with disregarding a police officer’s signal, resisting arrest, speeding, DUI and failure to comply with taking fingerprints, among other charges. Lusby was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 in Sussex County and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $2,612 secured bail. Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser said Lusby was released from the Eastern Correctional Institute in Westover, Maryland on Jan. 16 of this year, because he got credit for time served beginning in 2017, and because of statutory diminution credits awarded to him that are calculated by the detention center. “Generally speaking, it’s very frustrating for prosecutors to work hard to get convictions and tough sentences only to see the reality of Maryland sentencing law offers little truth in sentencing,” Heiser said. “I think I speak for a majority of prosecutors when I say we want a three-year sentence to mean three years served.”

OC budget talks wrap with rapid-fire session City Council tackles storm drains, new firehouse and code overhaul at wrap-up By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) In a rapid-fire session at the end of a budget meeting last Tuesday, Ocean City Council members approved funding to clean storm drains, rewrite city code, and study a new midtown fire station. Public Works Director Hal Adkins said storm drain cleaning begun this year has been both “successful [and] eye opening.” Work this year was from 130th to 146th streets on Sinepuxent Avenue and 123rd to 127th streets on Jamaica Avenue on the north end of town, and on 9th to 14th streets on Philadelphia Avenue on the south end. Adkins said the project “explained a lot of substantial drainage problems” and was well worth it. He said the plan was to knock out additional areas over the next two years “and then fall back into a much more minor maintenance program.” Councilman Mark Paddack moved to approve $100,000 in spending over the next year and Mary Knight added a second. The vote was unanimous. City Clerk Diana Chavis presented two options for redoing city code: a complete recodification for a maximum of $24,000, or a phased recodification for $8,500, to include a legal review and an outline of areas that need to be corrected. A second phase to include full implementation would cost an additional $13,000. Municode, a national company founded in 1951, would do the work. Chavis said the municipal code had not been reviewed in decades and City Solicitor Guy Ayers had suggested doing so. “This is a 12-15 month process and, in the end, we’ll have a very clean code that’s a little over 1,000 pages,” Chavis said. She said the “Cadillac version,” complete recodification, was de-

signed for codes that are in poor shape and have not been maintained. “We don’t need to go that [route]. Our code is in decent shape,” she said. “We just need to clean it up.” Chavis recommended option two and the council unanimously supported that. Harder to nail down was what to do regarding the midtown fire station, also known as Station 3 on 74th Street and Coastal Highway. According to an executive summary, Station 3 has been scheduled for replacement since 2002. The City Council budgeted $30,000 for preliminary design services for a new building in fiscal 2017, but later questioned the need for a new building. Station 3 was built as a two-bay facility in 1969 and two additional bays were added in 1987. The 5,240square-foot building includes an office and dispatch room, living room, kitchen, bunk room, one bathroom in the engine bay, and another single restroom and shower off the bunk room. The overall physical condition of the building is said to be good, but it has cracks in exterior walls and engine bays, and some defects in the living space. Additionally, the mechanical systems need $4,000 worth of work and a new generator is needed at an estimated cost of $50,000. City Engineer Terry McGean, in an email to Budget Manager Jennie Knapp, said other needed improvements include $8,000 for a front entrance handicap ramp and $10,000 for a new front entrance with card key access. He said the roofs would also need to be replaced within the next five years, costing another $40,000. McGean presented three options to the council: staying in the building for three years while a new one is constructed at 65th Street ($3.5 million), doing only critical renovations ($275,000), doing one major renovation and creating a two-story living and office space ($1.042 million), or

adding a second floor to the entire building with a new front façade ($2.63 million). The summary noted a new building was estimated to cost $1.5 million in 2000. McGean recommended hiring a consultant “to look at all the different options,” at a cost of about $30,000. Councilman Dennis Dare said improvements for the building had been put off for several years “because of other issues within that department.” “What the study for $30,000 would allow us to do is to look at what our need is … and what that would

cost,” he said. “Then, we can make those other decisions.” He moved to approve the study and Councilwoman Mary Knight provided a second. Mayor Rick Meehan also said he supported the study. Two councilmembers, John Gehrig and Matt James, were opposed. Gehrig said he worried about doing study after study, while James said there were 14 other projects ranked higher on that city’s capital improvement plan. The vote in favor of approving the study passed, 5-2.

Dumsers property case concludes Maryland Court of Appeals denies resort’s request for additional review of dispute By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) The property ownership dispute between Nathans Associates and the Town of Ocean City ended last Friday, when the state’s highest court, the Maryland Court of Appeals, denied resort government’s request for a review of the case it lost on appeal in December. After nearly three years of court battles between City Hall and Nathans Associates, the owners of the building, the court’s rejection of the city’s writ of certiorari (a petition for

case review) means the city must comply with the Court of Special Appeals ruling in Nathans’ favor. Ownership of the South Division Street and Boardwalk property on which building sits was called into question in 2016 after a long-term agreement between the city and Nathans Associates expired. Mona Strauss, the matriarch of Nathans Associates, expressed her gratitude for the court’s action. “I am very gratified that Maryland’s Court of Appeals has denied the writ of certiorari that was filed by the city in their attempt to have prior decisions reversed,” Strauss said. “The high court has now reinforced the two previous rulings made by the Court of Special Appeals over the past

four months. “It is with deep appreciation for the dedicated support of so many for the Rapoport and Timmons families as we now begin the 108th year on our property,” she continued. “We were extremely fortunate to have experienced such dedicated and methodically thorough representation by the legal firm of Allen & Allen, and I would be remiss if I did not also extend my sincere appreciation for their effort on our behalf.” Dumsers on the Boardwalk leases the property from Nathans, and had reopened for the season in March. The essence of the case was that the city contended the parcel was in a public right of way, while it failed to prove that to the court’s satisfaction.

Delaware couple hurt in crash on Rt. 113 in Berlin By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Two people were seriously injured in a crash that shut down a portion of Route 113 in Berlin Saturday morning, state police said. Delaware residents William Odell Frazier, 71, and Mae B. Frazier, 79, were taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury following the crash. Several agencies including the state police, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, State Highway Administration, and Berlin Emergency Medical Services responded to the single-vehicle wreck around 11:21 a.m. near the intersection of Route 113 and Goody Hill Road. A 2003 Cadillac Deville was reportedly seen swerving numerous times through lanes, according to a police investigation. The Cadillac then reportedly swerved from the first lane, rotated into the second lane and collided with the guardrail in the left shoulder of the highway. William, the driver, sustained lifethreatening injuries, and Mae, the front seat passenger, suffered serious injuries, according to police. The road was blocked for about one hour, police said. The circumstances leading up to the crash are unclear and remain under investigation, police said.

Council votes out Cowger as Pocomoke City manager Claims ‘personal attacks’ behind ouster; threatens wrongful termination suit By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) Former County Commissioner Bobby Cowger is now former Pocomoke City manager as well, having been fired last week in an upheaval that also saw Councilwoman Esther Troast step down as council vice president. Cowger, on Friday, said he planned to file suit against the town. “It’s personal attacks … but I can’t say too much, because I’m filing a wrongful [termination] lawsuit Bobby Cowger against the city,” he said. “It’s all personal attacks.” The city issued a statement on the matter last Tuesday. “The Pocomoke City Mayor and Council announced today that, after careful deliberation, it has voted to remove Robert L. Cowger from the position of city manager,” the statement said. “The City of Pocomoke City wishes Mr. Cowger the best in all his future endeavors.” The vote to remove Cowger was apparently 3-2, with Troast and Councilman Dale Trotter voting to keep him. Troast confirmed the news and that she had stepped down as first vice president, essentially the role of acting mayor, as current Mayor Bruce Morrison has still not recovered his speech following a hematoma that caused a brain bleed in November 2017. She will retain her seat on the council. “Eighteen months of being the mayor’s voice was trying,” Troast said. “I enjoyed the journey, learned a lot, and worked very hard. I am being encouraged to run for mayor next year. We shall see.”

Troast said she could not comment on the situation regarding Cowger. On Morrison, Troast offered, “He still hasn’t gained back his speech. Physically, he gets around good, better than me sometime[s].” Todd Nock, elected in 2018, was named council vice president to replace Troast. Nock, Councilwoman Diane Downing and recently elected Councilman R. Scott Holland voted to remove Cowger. Nock declined to comment further on the matter and said there were no immediate plans to fill the city manager position. Cowger, a native of Pocomoke, was named city manager in August 2017. He previously served multiple terms as a Worcester County Commissioner and had run the now defunct county department of liquor control. He called the situation “crazy.” Cowger said some on the council objected to his downtown revitalization plans, which included demolishing several buildings said to be beyond repair. “Tearing the buildings down — they didn’t think I went about it the right way,” he said. “There was quite a few trumped-up charges on me, but I didn’t do anything illegal and there’s nothing being investigated … everything that I did, I did within my job description. “The city’s in a complete uproar over this,” Cowger continued. “They’re furious. I’m just overwhelmed by all the support and the backing. My phone hasn’t stopped ringing in four days.” Cowger reiterated there are no criminal charges against him, despite the disapproval from the City Council. “I’ve done more for this town in the last 18 months than has been done in the last 20 years. I was cleaning it up and the council turned their back on me. There isn’t much I can do there,” he said. “But everything I’ve done was within my job [description] and I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I know this town is better today than it was when I came here.”

Statue unveiling for Negro League legend Judy Johnson By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Worcester County native son and baseball legend William Julius “Judy” Johnson, member of both the Negro League and National Baseball hall of fames, will be honored with a memorial statue unveiling and dedication in front of the Snow Hill Library on Saturday at 2 p.m. Worcester County Historical Society President Newt Weaver said the Judy Johnson Memorial, a five-foot plus granite statue, is the culmination of nearly two years of effort to remember the heights reached by Johnson, who was born Oct. 26, 1899 in Snow Hill. “Judy Johnson had a compulsion and obsession to get everything right on the field,” he said. “This developed into a precision that led to excellence.” Weaver said a large contingency of dignitaries would be on hand, with scheduled speakers including: Diana Purnell, Worcester County Commissioners president; Rev. Dr. Roxie Dennis Acholonu, Worcester County NAACP President; and Dr. Kirkland Hall Sr., University of Maryland Eastern Shore professor/coach and former president of the Somerset County NAACP. Shifting to a youthful perspective, Snow Hill High School senior Orlando Dennis will highlight the cross-generational interest in Johnson’s achievements. Dennis was selected for inclusion after recently being awarded top design honors among 44 entries in a school bulletin board contest to honor Johnson’s memory. The visually engaging, data-rich display also netted Dennis four tickets to an upcoming game at Delmarva Shorebirds Stadium. Long aware of Johnson’s standout professional career, Weaver, a member of the Society for Professional Baseball Research, said although the Town of Snow Hill had discussed a potential memorial as far back as 2013, the undertaking caught fire two summers ago. After reading an essay about Johnson penned for an academic project by Cole Mumford, who was completing his senior year at Stephen Decatur High School, Weaver said the lingering notion to commemorate the Worcester born baseball standout grew legs. “Cole Mumford wrote the essay that sparked the effort,” he said. Credited as one of the most intelligent men ever to compete on a baseball diamond, Johnson was also one of the best athletes to surface from Worcester County, Weaver said. Putting aside the stark racial divisions that restricted freedoms for all people of color during Johnson’s playing days, Weaver said the hall of famer was at first discouraged when attempting to play semi-pro baseball in 1918, because of his limited physical stature.

Initially deemed too small to play at 5 feet 6 inches and 120 pounds, within a few years Johnson gained 25 pounds and grew to 5 feet 10 inches, eventually signing on with the Philadelphia-based Hilldale Club. That first contact afforded a monthly salary of $134. After this, Johnson quickly built a reputation as a clutch-hitting, surehanded third basemen, and despite only having a few years in the league was named Hilldale team captain in 1923. “He was one of the youngest Negro League team captains,” Weaver said. Johnson’s ascension sparked a three-year post season run by the Hilldale Club, who won three consecutive Eastern Colored League pennants between 1923-1925. In addition to hitting over .390 during two of those seasons, in 1924 Johnson had the top batting average (.364) during the inaugural Negro League World Series. During Johnson’s last campaign with Hilldale, before departing to become a player-manager for the Homestead Grays in 1930, he batted .416 for the season and was named both MVP and Player of the Year. In 1932, Johnson became team captain with the Pittsburgh Crawfords, where he played on, arguably, the best Negro League team ever, which Weaver said included the likes of Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Cool Papa Bell and Satchel Paige. “They were like the 1927 Yankees,” Weaver said. In 1975, Johnson become the sixth former Negro League player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and subsequently served on a selection committee that nominated several peers, including Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. During his Hall of Fame appointment, then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn compared Johnson’s prowess at the hot corner to contemporary legend Brooks Robinson. Weaver said the years-long campaign would not have been fruitful without diligent fundraising efforts by Worcester County Historical Society board members, who sourced private donations to finance the statue’s more than $13,000 price tag. Weaver said the legacy left by Judy “Mr. Sunshine” Johnson, putting aside gaudy baseball statistics, boils down to exhibiting a positive demeanor. Famous for a perpetual smile, Johnson, who teammates tagged with the sunshine nickname, had a fast reply when anyone inquired about the joy clearly evident in his expression, Weaver said. “He would reply, ‘because the sun is shining somewhere and I’m on the ball field,’” he said. “He always thought the sun was shining somewhere when he was on a ball field.”

Zoning reclassification part of larger plan By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) Ocean City Planning Commission members last week overcame some initial trepidation to unanimously approve a zoning reclassification. The move was puzzle piece in the larger picture of the city’s plans to consolidate several civic facilities in a single area. According to a staff report, a 2016 City Council resolution and 2017 “Campus Master Plan” called for incremental property acquisition of several land parcels between 66th and 67th streets. There are plans to upgrade the Ocean City Public Works and transit facility on 65th Street, which also includes buildings for the district court, public safety, solid waste transfer,

wastewater treatment, maintenance and public works. The city also hopes to build a new water treatment plant north of 66th Street. What commission members had to consider last Tuesday was a zoning classification change from local commercial to bayside mixed use, or BMUD, to help facilitate a land swamp between the Town of Ocean City and the Wenzlaff Family LLLP. Mark Wenzlaff operates Advanced Marina on 66th Street and plans to his use his portion of the land acquired from the city to build four new boat racks. “In general terms, our staff analysis and the review by our department is that this is a logical extension of the BMUD zoning district that allows the growth of an existing commercial marina operation, and it allows the growth

of our civic facilities in a logical way that assembles multiple parcels into usable land areas,” Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville said. Neville added both the city and Wenzlaff Family requested the zoning change. “The rezoning application is part of a long process that involves a number of steps,” he said, adding it would be appropriate to approve the request “as a conditional rezoning.” “There would be a substantial improvement with a concept plan … and I think it’s a good tool that just gives the assurance to both parties that we know what’s going to happen on either side of that zoning line,” Neville said. Public Works Director Hal Adkins said redevelopment plans date back to 2007, when an initial master plan was hatched.

Also part of the larger picture is a former VFW building owned by the town, and two buildings on 67th Street that had operated as the World Gym. According to Adkins, a pre-engineered structure to the west would be demolished and turned into a parking lot on May 2, while the gym will be allowed to continue its operations in the other building until Dec. 31. Adkins added the city is in talks with Sandpiper Energy to purchase another site in the area. “The ultimate goal is that we will end up with a rather large block of land … for the construction of an eight-MGD [million gallon per day] water treatment plant,” Adkins said. “If I stay on schedule, [the plant] may break ground in about four, to four-and-a-half years from now.” Commission members appeared to be in favor of the plan, but Wenzlaff asked for an elaboration of the conditions mentioned by Neville. “That was never brought up before to me,” he said. Neville said the commission has the ability to impose certain criteria, if it wished. “I’m looking to the future, when both properties may develop with their intended use but then, fast forward 10 years, and perhaps we’re not riding boats anymore and there’s a higher and better use for this BMUD district,” he said. “By rezoning it today, you’re doing it with an expectation that it would be for the expansion of the existing marine use. “It’s just a measure of protection for both parties, moving forward,” Neville continued. “It’s a way of assuring that we know what’s going to happen next to the future water treatment plant.” Adkins countered such conditions had not been part of the negotiations. “At no time in previous discussions with [the] Wenzlaff Family nor the mayor and council … in brokering this deal was there any discussion whatsoever of putting contingencies on it,” he said. “It was very clear, at least on my end … that whatever benefits are currently afforded a property owner with BMUD zoning would be what would be provided to them.” Adkins said a conceptual site plan was provided by his office that showed the additional boat racks, and it’s his understanding that is the currently the plan for that area, but the family should not be restricted from changing its mind in the future. “When they chose to retire from the business and the son takes over – and say at some point he wants to consider a redevelopment – that was never discussed as a limitations in any of the agreements we’ve had with them,” he said, adding any development plans would have to come before the planning commission anyway. Wenzlaff also added, “We are currently running it as a marine operation See PLANNING Page 14

Adkins asks to can old trash trucks By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) Longtime Ocean City Public Works Director Hal Adkins has an interesting problem on his hands. In going over unresolved budget items last Tuesday, Adkins said he didn’t want to lose funding assigned for an automated trash collection truck, which his department needs. At the same time, there are 20 locations in the resort that pose challenges that require service by a specialty vehicle, which also needs to be replaced. First, Adkins began with a history lesson. Roughly 20 years ago, he said, many trashcans in the resort were placed in the ground “with a little dome over them,” and waste workers

had to open the dome, pull the cans out, and manually dump the contents into a trash truck. He said others kept trashcans in their backyards and screened-in porches, and didn’t pull them to the street in time for pickup. “[It was] a very manual operation,” Adkins said. “And 20-plus years ago, we made the decision … to shift to automated collections.” He said a pilot program was started when the city provided “Waste Wheelers,” or large dumpsters on wheels that could easily be collected by automated trucks. Adkins and another employee drove to Virginia Beach and bought two used trash trucks, and the program progressed from there. In a slide show, Adkins demonstrated the types of containers the

city uses today, mainly rectangular bins of varying sizes, some on wheels and some not, that can easily be picked up by automated side-loader or front-end loader trucks. However, 20 condominium complexes in Ocean City use trash containers that are “wedged into little rooms,” or use trash chutes above the dumpsters, making it difficult for trucks to reach, Adkins said. He added that a 1995 collection vehicle, “which was the workhorse of our fleet at the time, before changing to automation,” services those locations. Adkins used a video to show how the automated front-end trucks have forks that are not adjustable, but rather fit standard-sized containers. Using the old truck to visit the aforementioned 20 condominiums, meanwhile, requires much more manual labor. “We have to go into the building [and] roll the container out. We have to position the container with the hooks,” Adkins said, as the video showed two men wrestling to get a large dumpster affixed to mechanical arms on the side of an old trash truck. After the trash is empty, the crewmen roll the container back into its housing. “The point was to make sure the entire council realized what we meant when we talk about the old-fashioned side-loader,” Adkins said. He said only two of those trucks remain in the fleet, both are 24 years See OUTDATED Page 16

Planning board approves zoning change for swap Continued from Page 12 and plan to continue that, but the condition thing caught my attention as, what if my heirs have to sell that and something happens to one of us? I think it would encumber them to have to deal with conditions that are unknown, and that was my concern.” Neville said imposing conditions was a suggestion, not a deal-breaker, and the normal site plan approval process was probably adequate as a safety net. Commission Chairwoman Pam Greer Buckley said conditions could have been imposed if there was public objection, but no one weighed in against the project during a public hearing. “That gives us a clean go-ahead,” she said, just before officially closing the hearing. Commission member Palmer Gillis added a word of support for Adkins. “The public works department is a totally unappreciated … and this town is blessed to have Mr. Adkins as its department head for the length of time that he’s been here, and we should thank him for the great job that he’s done over the years,” Gillis said. “Your vision and long-term planning just are really important to this town and I hope people understand that.” Commission member Peck Miller moved to approve the rezoning, without conditions. Palmer seconded and the vote was unanimous.

TOWN OF OCEAN CITY NOTICE OF A PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Mayor and City Council of the Town of Ocean City proposes to increase real property taxes. 1. For the tax year beginning July 1, 2019, the estimated real property assessable base will increase by 1.55%, from $8,826,691,044 to $8,963,818,247. 2. If the Town of Ocean City maintains the current tax rate of $0.4656 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 1.55% resulting in $638,464 of new real property tax revenues. 3. In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be reduced to $0.4585, the constant yield tax rate. 4. The Town of Ocean City is considering not reducing its real property tax rate enough to fully offset increasing assessments. The Town proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $0.4656 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is 1.55% higher than the constant yield tax rate and will generate $638,464 in additional property tax revenues. A public hearing on the proposed real property tax rate increase will be held at 6 pm on May 6, 2019 at City Hall, 301 Baltimore Avenue, Ocean City, Maryland. The hearing is open to the public, and public testimony is encouraged. Persons with questions regarding this hearing may call 410-289-8730 for further information. www.oceancitytoday.com

The other automated trucks don’t have crewmen – they don’t need it. It’s far more efficient.” Adkins said he and the solid waste team put their heads together and thought about creative alternatives, perhaps modifying the containers or asking the condominiums to do so, so the automated trucks could service them. “If we had to answer you today, the answer would be that’s not feasible, because the reality of it is you cannot take a container, create a scenario where the pockets are the appropriate

Mayor Rick Meehan said the property owners need time to come up with another solution, and asked Adkins to help that process along. Councilman Matt James agreed and suggested contacting the owners to “find out if they would be interested in paying some sort of an assessment so we could purchase a new truck – or reconfiguring their trash situation.” “I don’t necessarily like the town employees going in and pulling the trashcans out,” he added. Council President Lloyd Martin added the property owners could fabricate a new dumpster for less money than the city could fabricate a new trash truck. Dare moved to allow the solid waste department to meet with property management companies over the summer to try and develop a new plan “that will transition from the side-loader configuration we have now, to something that accommodates our current fleet.” If an agreement is reached, Dare said a new automated front-loader could be ordered in September and be ready for the following season. James seconded and the vote was unanimous.

WORLD WAR II

Heavy cruiser part of ‘Kreigsmarine’ By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (April 26, 2019) Eighty years ago, this week, the German heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper was commissioned into the Kreigsmarine. She was the lead ship of her class of five such ships. The cruiser was named for Adm. Franz von Hipper, who commanded a group of battle cruisers during the Battle of Jutland in 1916 during World War I. He was credited with the sinking of three British battle cruisers. Of the five ships planned, the KMS Admiral Hipper was the only one completed before World War II began. The KMS Lutzow was sold, uncompleted, to the Soviet Union in 1940 as part of a treaty between the two countries. The KMS Seydlitz was converted to an aircraft carrier during her construction but never completed due to shortage of raw See WWII Page 18

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 16 materials. The other two ships — the KMS Blücher and KMS Prinz Eugen— were built and served in the German Kriegsmarine during World War II, along with Admiral Hipper. During late 1930s, many of the German admirals advised Hitler that the Kriegsmarine was not prepared to wage a protracted war against the British, let alone the United States. When World War II began, in September 1939, none of the German battleships had been completed. The Kreigsmarine had available only two battle cruisers, along with three “pocket battleships” (as the British called them), two heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, with some 12 older torpedo vessels, and 22 destroyers. In contrast, the Royal Navy could muster seven aircraft carriers, 17 battleships and battle cruisers, 15 heavy cruisers, 65 light cruisers, and almost 180 destroyers. Since Hitler felt that the Japanese Imperial Navy would tie up the U.S. Navy in the Pacific, they would not become a factor in his overall war plan concerning the Atlantic and future actions across Europe. However, Hitler had been a corporal in the German Army during World War I and, as history would eventually show, he did not fully comprehend the basic premise of naval warfare. Before World War II, the German admirals developed a massive naval construction plan (or “Z-Plan”) that was begun in January 1939, as the Kriegsmarine was told that war with Britain would take place a number of years away. The German Kriegsmarine had two schools of thought. One group wanted a small surface fleet and a large submarine fleet, while the other felt the best mix would be a larger surface fleet of many ship types and a smaller submarine fleet, more in line with the Royal Navy. The “Z-Plan” contemplated four aircraft carriers, 13 battleships, 15 large cruisers and 23 heavy cruisers and 22 scout cruisers. The plan was to have the fleet ready for war by 1946. World War II began, when Britain and France declared war on Germany,

on Sept. 3, 1939, the “Z-plan” was then shelved. The Admiral Hipper was ready for action, and the Blücher was ready to be commissioned into the Kreigsmarine. The Admiral Hipper was a large heavy cruiser and exceeded the Versailles Treaty limitations that were imposed on German warship construction after World War I. To keep her fast, it was decided to use 8-inch guns as her main battery in four twin mounts, two forward and two aft. Her secondary armament consisted of 4.1-inch dual purpose guns mounted in six dual mounts — three to port and three to starboard. To cause havoc inside enemy convoys, she also carried 12 21-inch torpedo tubes and up to 160 naval mines. For anti-aircraft protection, she would eventually have 12 37mm cannons and eight 20mm cannons posted throughout the top decks. She displaced 18,600 tons, fully loaded, and could make 32.5 knots with a crew of 42 officers and 1,340 men. Admiral Hipper first saw action in World War II during the German preemptive war against Norway on the morning of April 8, 1940. The Royal Navy destroyer HMS Glowworm was on her way to rejoin the battle cruiser HMS Renown when she encountered the German destroyer Z11 and then the Z18 in heavy fog. The Glowworm fired on the German destroyers, and they, knowing the battle cruiser Renown was in the area, signaled the Admiral Hipper for help and withdrew. The British destroyer Glowworm gave chase and ultimately found the Hipper. Greatly outclassed, the Glowworm’s main armament consisted of four 4.7inch guns and eight 21-inch torpedo tubes and displaced 1,880 tons while being manned with 175 men. Glowworm’s commanding officer, Lt. Commander Gerard Broadmeade Roope, chose to engage the Hipper. That action resulted in several direct hits to the British destroyer. Glowworm moved in to ram the Admiral Hipper and the two collided, leaving the Glowworm’s forecastle severed. She sank with her captain and 111 of her crew See WWII Page 20

to attack Allied convoys heading to the Soviet Union through the Arctic Circle, the Kreigsmarine commenced “Operation Regenbogen.” Admiral Hipper and the pocket battleship KMS Lutzow (now reclassified as a heavy cruiser), supported by six destroyers, under the command of Adm. Otto Kummetz went to sea to hunt enemy convoys. The Germans found convoy JW51B, which was protected by a screen of six destroyers, two corvettes, one minesweeper, and two trawlers in the Barents Sea. The German surface warship force attacked the British convoy on December 31, 1942. Admiral Hipper first sighted the minesweeper Bramble and sank her. Next, she engaged the British destroyer HMS Achates and drew her fire, eventually sinking her. Soon, the British cruisers HMS Jamaica and HMS Sheffield appeared and forced the German warships to move away. It was then that Admiral Hipper took a direct torpedo hit, while the German destroyer KMS Friedrich Eckoldt was sunk. The Lutzow was able to inflict damage on only two ships. With such a poor showing, Hitler was enraged by what he regarded as the total worthlessness of the surface fleet. Hitler then decided to scrap the surface fleet and concentrate on U-boat construction. As a result, Großadmiral Erich Ræder, commander

of the Kreigsmarine, offered his resignation, which Hitler accepted. Großadmiral Ræder was soon replaced by Großadmiral Karl Dönitz, the commander of the U-boat fleet. Dönitz was respected and admired by Hitler. He convinced the dictator that such a decision would inflict more harm on the German Navy than the Royal Navy had done. Hitler listened and decided to keep the German big ships in reserve. Admiral Hipper was again in need of repairs due to battle damage and, upon completion, was sent from Norway to Germany, arriving in Kiel in July of 1943. She was placed in reserve until January of 1944. A year later, as the Red Army was sweeping through Poland, she and the remaining German big ships were used to bombard the advancing Red Army and help in the evacuation of the wounded soldiers and civilians. Admiral Hipper took on 1,529 refugees in Gdynia, Poland. With the end of World War II in Europe approaching, the Admiral Hipper returned to Kiel, and on 3 May, 1945 her crew scuttled her after she was hit by RAF bombers and heavily damaged. Between 1948 and 1952, Admiral Hipper was raised and sent to the scrappers. The only thing that remains from the ship is her bell, which is kept on display at the Laboe Naval Memorial near Kiel.

ally sinking the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious and the destroyers Acasta and Ardent. The Admiral Hipper was sent to Wilhelmshaven for repairs until December of 1940, and, when released, she was ordered to “Operation Nordseetour,” her first Atlantic sortie. Late in December, Hipper found and attacked the troop convoy WS-5A. The convoy was escorted by the British cruiser HMS Berwick and a small destroyer screen. Hipper fired on, and damaged, two merchant ships and sunk one other. HMS Berwick was heavily damaged while the Hipper herself suffered engine problems and became low on fuel, forcing her to return to Brest, France. While en route to Brest, she came upon the freighter Jumna, without escort, and sank her. After arriving at Brest, Admiral Hipper was again under repairs for a month. In February 1941, Admiral Hipper sortied for the second time into the Atlantic to attack British convoys. This time she was more successful, netting between seven and 14 ships sunk and two damaged. Due to bad weather and the presence of British capital ships, Admiral Hipper decided to leave the North Atlantic and return to the Fatherland, through the Denmark Strait, between Iceland and Greenland. For the next two years, Admiral Hipper was occupied with modifications and repairs. Under pressure from Hitler

Continued from Page 18 while Hipper rescued 39 survivors. The Renown and nine destroyers headed for the last known position and arrived too late, as the Admiral Hipper had already departed the area. The Hipper was damaged and in need of repair, so she returned to Germany. After her repair, the Admiral Hipper was assigned to “Operation Juno,” on June 8, 1940. The battle cruisers KMS Scharnhorst and KMS Gneisenau, with the Hipper and four destroyers were to conduct a sweeping foray into Norway in an attempt to force Allied troops to leave the country. Admiral Hipper and the destroyers sank the Allied troop ship Orama, the oil tanker Pioneer and the minesweeping trawler Juniper.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (April 26, 2019) First quarter figures for Worcester County are showing a positive trend in 2019. There were 525 units that closed from Jan. 1 through the end of March this year versus 426 that closed in 2018. This is compared to year-end, statewide figures showing a 4.9 percent reduction in units sold from 2017 to 2018, and a 4.6 percent reduction in Worcester County specifically. The lowest priced sale that posted in 2019’s first quarter was in Pocomoke City at $3,000 for a singlefamily home, whereas, the highest priced sale that posted was waterfront new construction in Ocean City’s Sunset Island at $2,295,000. In comparison, in 2018 the lowest priced sale during the first quarter was $12,000 in Pocomoke City, and the highest priced sale was a waterfront single family home that sold for $1,725,000 in West Ocean City. Both the average and the median sales price figures show increases from 2018 to 2019 statewide. Average sales price figures reflect a 3.5 percent increase year over year, and the median sales price reflects a 4 percent increase. In Worcester County specifically, the average sales price rose 4 percent from $274,905 in 2017 to $285,980 in 2018. However, the median sale price in Worcester County specifically reflects a 2.5 percent drop: $257,729 in 2017 down to $251,338 in 2018. The average sales reflect the weighted average of sales prices in the county, calculated by weighting the price of homes by the number of homes sold. The median price is the middle value of the prices of all homes sold in the period—the price at which half the sold homes are above and half are below in selling price. The spring market is heating up, and Worcester County pending units are showing strong activity in the month of April.

Finish off the experience with a flourless chocolate tart, raspberry white chocolate brûlée cheese cake or Key lime pie from Key West for dessert. The Victorian Room has been a part of Restaurant Week since its inception. “We have one of the finest views of Ocean City,” D’Onofrio said. “We’re oceanfront, and it’s nice to sit out on our decks on our rockers and people are in the restaurant watching people surfing and have fun. There’s an everchanging scene to the ocean.” For more information, call the Victorian Room at 410-289-1100. Another establishment that has

been a part of Restaurant Week since it first began is Captain’s Table on 15th Street, located inside the Courtyard Marriott. “Captain’s Table really likes to be involved in any special events there are in the area,” Spencer Byrd, general manager for Courtyard Marriott, said. “Anytime we have a chance to showcase what we have to offer here at the restaurant, we do it. We also, being in the Courtyard Hotel on the Boardwalk on 15th Street, have a pretty big following and want to give back to our guests that are here and offer them a special menu.” Diners can choose an appetizer, entrée and dessert for $35. However, the restaurant will not offer Restaurant Week specials from Friday through Sunday. Appetizers include tempera fried avocado or pork pot stickers. Choose from three entrées such as the chicken Rockefeller, smoked bacon wrapped meatloaf or shrimp and grits. For dessert, enjoy either a mint chocolate chip and pound cake fried ice cream or New York style cheesecake with macerated berries. “We’ve been around for over 65 years now. It’s a local family-owned restaurant,” Byrd said. “Our team is one of the best, our service is top notch ... our executive chef, Brooke

Lamar, and his staff are top-notch. We enjoy making up a special menu just for [Restaurant Week]. We do specials on a nightly basis, but anytime we can do a Restaurant Week menu we’re going to do it.” For more information, call Captain’s Table at 410-289-7192. The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw diners through the doors when business is slower, and also gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new ideas. Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. In addition, diners are encouraged to send in three receipts from different participating Restaurant Week establishments. Restaurant Week organizers will choose one winner who will receive a $150 gift card to their favorite participant eatery of their choice. Send a picture of the receipts to inquire@ocvisitor.com or text to 410726-0334. Participants can also mail the receipts to 5700 Coastal Highway, Suite 302, Ocean City, Maryland, 21842.

Beer, wine outlet on 21st St. under new management By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Although the name remains unchanged, 21st Street Beer & Wine is under new ownership this season. Ace Owies, who has operated Seaside Deli on 72nd Street in Ocean City since 2015, took over the reins of the downtown beverage stop, located at 2110 North Philadelphia Avenue, last week. Owies wrapped up the real estate transaction last Tuesday after the Board of License Commissioners approved the transfer of a seven-day Class “A” beer/wine license. Owies first learned the property was for sale last fall and quickly entered into negotiations. “I liked the store’s proximity to Phillips Crab House,” he said. The large-scale iconic seafood restaurant is located adjacently at 2004 North Philadelphia Avenue. By the new year, Owies had reached settlement terms with the remaining task being the just-completed licensure issue. Owies said, at least for now, he does not plan on making any changes.

Despite new ownership the same beverage selections will be available this summer at 21st Street Beer & Wine, located at 2110 North Philadelphia Avenue, who received approval last week from the Board of License Commissioners to transfer the associated beer and wine license to the new merchants.

“In future years, if all goes well, we may expand operations to include a deli like the Seaside location,” he said. Known for his affable nature by locals, Owies now hopes to spread the good will fostered with regulars and tourists at Seaside Deli to the 21st Street operation. In addition to a healthy selection of imported and domestic beers, as well as varied vino choices, Owies said the 21st Street shop will include a small selection of convenience store items, like snacks and cigarettes.

Chris Klebe, of OC Tri-Running, said nearly 2,000 athletes are expected to participate in either the half marathon or 5K, with associated family and friends bringing the crowd totals to roughly 3,000. “The numbers are a little low this year compared to past,” he said. Two years ago, OC Tri-Running’s Island to Island event drew roughly 3,000 runners, but that figure was reduced in 2018 when Salisbury launched a full and half marathon and 5K on the exact same day, Klebe said. Klebe said despite losing a few folks to the Salisbury event last year, the Island to Island race has a larger geographical presence with runners from 32 states signed on. Race registration and packet pick up is today, Friday, at the inlet parking lot, from 2-9 p.m. Costs are $95 for the half marathon, $75 for military members in the half marathon and $40 to take part in the 5K race/walk. On Saturday, bus rides from the inlet parking lot to Assateague Island will be

provided for half marathon runners only (no family or friends) between 5:156:15 a.m. Runners with last names starting with letters A-H depart at 5:15 a.m., followed by I-P at 5:45 a.m. and Q-Z at 6:15 a.m. Packet pick up for 5K runners will take place from 5:45-6:45 a.m. at the inlet lot, with both races commencing at 7 a.m., albeit from different starting points. The half-marathon course begins on Assateague Island and heads up Route 611 to Landings Boulevard before turning left into the West Ocean City Park and Ride lot. From this point, runners will cross the Route 50 bridge for the final leg of the race, which heads from the inlet lot up the Boardwalk to Fourth Street before reversing course for the finish line located at the inlet parking lot. The 5K race course travels north from the inlet parking lot, then goes around the pier and along the concrete portion of the Boardwalk to 16th Street, before heading back to the finish line. The top three male and female finishers for the half marathon and 5K will receive awards and everyone completing the 13.1-mile distance earns a medal. Klebe said since the Island to Island race began 15 years ago, a portion of the proceeds have been earmarked for Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services in Berlin.

In addition to presenting a few thousand dollars to Worcester Youth and Family annually, Klebe said more recently a smaller scholarship totaling several hundred dollars has been awarded to a Stephen Decatur High School graduate. “We will continue to support Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services and we started giving tuition assistance to Stephen Decatur High School graduates who have helped,” he said. Klebe noted that without vital support from law enforcement and first responders, despite all the best intentions regarding fundraising and healthy life pursuits, the annual race would not be possible. The post-race party begins at 8:30 a.m. under the entertainment tents in the inlet lot. Awards for 5K winners take place at 9:30 a.m. and half marathon honors start at 11:15 a.m. with the festivities winding down at 1 p.m. In addition to deejays providing beats along the course and at the inlet lot party, runners will receive one food ticket for Dough Roller pizza and one beer ticket. Klebe said the hope is since the Island to Island race attracts interest from far outside Maryland, the economic impact is discernible for area campgrounds, as well as lodging and food establishments.

Diabetes class offered by AGH (April 26, 2019) The Atlantic General Diabetes Center at Atlantic General Hospital will be offering diabetes self-management education classes in May. The series of four, two-hour sessions will address blood glucose monitoring, foot care, nutrition, exercise and other self-management skills to help individuals better manage their diabetes. A family member is invited to attend. The program is recognized by the American Diabetes Association for quality education, and program staff includes a registered nurse who has diabetes and a registered dietitian, both of whom are certified diabetes educators. Advance registration and a referral from attendees’ primary care provider, which the program can obtain, are required. Diabetes self-management is a Medicare benefit and the cost of the classes is covered by most insurances. Classes will be held on Wednesday, May 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 1-3 p.m. at the Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center, 9707 Healthway Drive, in Berlin. Call 410-208-9761 for more information and to register. “We want everyone to benefit,” he said. For more information, visit www.octrirunning.com or search “OC Tri-Running Sports” on Facebook.

Annual Ward World Championship this weekend in resort

Md. International Kite Expo set for this wknd. in OC

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (April 26, 2019) The 49th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival returns to the resort this weekend, April 26-28, at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street in Ocean City. The event began at the Ward Museum in Salisbury and later outgrew that venue, necessitating the move to Ocean City. Today, the Ward World Championship brings artists from across the globe to the resort to showcase their talents in several categories of competition. Ward Museum Executive Director Dr. Kristin Sullivan said original event organizers had high hopes for the competition, but no one expected it to become as big as it has. “Across the Eastern Shore and across the country, there were some other competitions, but nothing really of the scale that this was to become,” Sullivan said. “It started as a way to recognize and honor the legacy of [museum founders] Lem and Steve Ward, who of course are Eastern Shore boys. “The draw of decoy carving on the Eastern Shore was huge,” she continued. “People across the country were interested from the get-go in this event and it grew to, I think, bigger proportions than anyone could have imagined.” This year, more than 1,4000 wildfowl carvings will be on display, from beginning youth artists to former world champions, each competing for a share of almost $65,000 in cash prizes. Since its inception, the Ward World Championship has given out more than $2.6 million in prize money. Sullivan said the event is unique for being “an international competition with world-class carvers.” “I think the integrity of the competition is really important for its longevity,” she said. “I think the community of decoy carvers and wildfowl carvers that have formed around the competition is a huge part of the longevity of the event. But really, the quality of the pieces that go into the competition [is unique].” According to Sullivan, contest entries range from functional huntingstyle decoys that are tested in tanks in the convention center and on the As-

Jay Knerr, owner of the Kite Loft on Fifth Street and the Boardwalk, said about 200 people participate annually, while many others come out The 49th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival returns to Ocean City this weekend, April 26-28, at the Roland E.

sawoman Bay, to “really fantastic interpretive pieces” of museum-quality art. She said those later works tend to “take the essence of the species and interpret that in wood” and bronze. “There was a piece that won best in world in the interpretive division [in 2017] by a man named Jeff Krete … and the piece was a bird that morphed into an old World War II style bomber plane,” she said. “On one wing it looked very much like a real, anatomically correct bird, but as the sculpture progressed over the bird it turned into an airplane, showing the aerodynamics of both the airplane and the bird as well. “It was a really fascinating piece to look at and make you think about flight and the physics of flight, beyond just the artistry of the piece,” Sullivan added. This year, for the first time, Ward World kicked off with an “Artist After Hours” on Thursday at the Art League of Ocean City on 94th Street. The Ward Museum is also working with the art league to present some of the films shown during the recent Ocean City Film Festival.

“We will be showing those in the Performing Arts Center of the convention center. Anyone that has a ticket for the world competition is welcome to go in and view those films,” Sullivan said. On Friday, the Ward Museum will recognize artists Lynn Branson, Keith Mueller and Peter Palumbo with its 2019 Living Legend Awards, during a dinner and presentation from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Grand Hotel and Spa on 2100 Baltimore Avenue. Tickets cost $75. A live auction is scheduled at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the Performing Arts Center at the convention center, followed by an awards ceremony at 5:30 p.m. The museum is also collaborating with the Salisbury Zoo, which will present live birds of prey demonstrations on Sunday. Standard exhibit hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. For tickets or more information, visit www.wardmuseum.org or call 410-742-4988.

‘You’ll see hundreds of kites up in the air. [It’s] a sight to see.’ Jay Knerr to watch. He often sees repeat participants as well as “new faces.” “If the weather is nice, and with us, we have a nice steady breeze, I mean, you’ll see hundreds of kites up in the air,” Knerr said. “[It’s] a sight to see.” There will be demonstrations and competitions throughout the weekend on the beach near Fifth Street as well as free kite lessons from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday through Sunday. In addition, there will be a sport kite competition on Saturday and Sunday, and giant kite exhibitions. Teams will perform quad line demonstrations and the East Coast kite clubs will showcase their kites along the Boardwalk. For a full schedule of events, visit the Kite Loft’s website at www. kiteloft.com. The Maryland International Kite Expo is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to teaching the public about kiting and hosts national and international amateur kite flying competitions, according to Knerr. “They’re gonna see a lot of giant kites,” Knerr said. “The show value is tremendous.” In addition, Knerr said teams using quad line kites are a “really unusual” treat for attendees. “A four line kite can reverse itself forwards, backwards, sideways, any direction you want to make the kite move,” he said. “It opens up a whole new world of possibilities.” Knerr said kite flying is fun for the entire family and it allows for a respite from everyday life. “It gets you out of the house, off the couch, away from the videos and it’s just a fun family activity,” he said.

Springfest to kick off May 2 with music, vendors and food By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Music, unique vendors and a plethora of food highlight Ocean City’s 29th annual Springfest celebration, May 2-5, and the start of the resort’s summertime traditions. “Springfest is just a great staple event for the town [with] free music, great food and a lot of craft booths and vendors,” said Frank Miller, Ocean City Special Events superintendent. Springfest will kick off Thursday, May 2, at 10:15 a.m. on the outdoor stage with a Stephen Decatur NJROTC color guard performance and the OC Stars singing the National Anthem. Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan will conclude the program with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will officially open Springfest. Thousands of people from all across the country come out to browse more than 200 craft booths, get a bite to eat at one of the more than 30 food vendors or check out dozens of free concerts. “Some vendors have been coming for years and years, and if you love that great festival food just go stand in the tent for 20 minutes … you can smell those wonderful aromas from festival food,” Miller said. Ideal weather helped boost attendance of last year’s Springfest, which outpaced the 2017 turnout by more than 30,000 people, with 137,570 visitors overall in 2018. New this year, as a result of success during Sunfest in September, the Ocean City Police Department will feature a K-9 and mounted patrol demonstration at the east of the entertainment pavilion. “Sunfest in 2018 was our first year that we did an Ocean City Police Department K-9 demonstration [and] that went over so well that for Springfest 2019, we decided to bring that back and we’re going to run that all four days,” Miller said. More than 200 arts and crafts vendors will be on site selling candles, photography, fine and glass art, jewelry, decorative items, accessories, wind chimes, bird houses, furniture, pottery and many more unique treasures from around the world. “The vendors may change up so you’ll see some new vendors here and there,” Miller said. “You’ll see your favorite vendors as well … whether it’s on the food side or the arts and crafts side or the commercial vendor side.” More than 30 food vendors will provide a variety of treats including crepes, pit beef, ham, turkey, baconwrapped corn dogs, pizza, funnel cakes and deep-fried candy and Oreos. Dozens of free musical perform-

ances will be taking place all weekend from country to rock, reggae and tribute bands. On Thursday night, Almost Queen will take the stage at 7 p.m., and tickets are still available for $10-15. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-800-551-7328, at the festival’s ticket booth or through Ticketmaster.com. “Almost Queen is a great stage show,” Miller said. “If you enjoy Queen back in the 70s … this is a group that looks a lot like them. They do the stage show just like them and they sound like them.” On Friday, May 3, country music singer LeAnn Rimes will start at 8 p.m. followed by Night Ranger with special guests the Reagan Years on Saturday, May 4, beginning at the same time. Tickets for Rimes are still available and range from $36-136. Night Ranger tickets are also available for $35. “Reagan Years has a lot of great 1980 songs and they do a fabulous job with it,” Miller said. “They’re the opening band for Night Ranger and of course, Night Ranger is going to play their hits as well. So it’ll be a good night.” Springfest runs Thursday through Saturday, May 3-5, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/springfest or call 800-626-2326.

Rock for Recovery concert to benefit anti-opiate nonprofit By Josh Davis Associate Editor (April 26, 2019) Tranzfusion is set to headline the third annual “Rock for Recovery” concert, raising money for the Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction, Sunday, April 28. Tickets for the event, scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the West Ocean City Greene Turtle, will be $10 at the door. Two local mothers, Jackie Ball and Heidi McNeeley, founded the Worcester County Warriors in 2016 after learning each had children who struggled with heroin addiction. That year, the nonprofit’s initial public meeting in the Ocean Pines library drew about 50 people. By their second meeting, held a month later, attendance had swelled to several hundred, solidifying both the Warriors as a group and the belief that the opioid epidemic had indeed reached Worcester County. McNeeley said Rock for Recovery was started after one of the Greene Turtle managers reached out to her husband, Jamie. “He had possibly some personal connections to addiction, and he talked about having customers come in that were obviously using and he wanted to give them some information and some help,” she said. Funds raised during the event help

local people get into treatment – and to stay there. “We continue to get requests from people who are living in a sober home and have lost their jobs, so they’re unable to keep up with the rent. Or, they’re just moving in and looking for a job, so we’ll guarantee a couple weeks’ rent,” McNeeley said. For years, McNeeley has stressed the urgency of an addict who is asking for help, and much of the work the Warriors have done involves getting people into treatment before they get cold feet or use again.

Clay Reister’s craftsmanship in making the time capsule, including Zimmer. “Thank you Mr. Reister for your hard work in creating a lasting mem-

ory for the Worcester County School System,” Zimmer said in a Facebook post. Reister, an interactive media instructor at Worcester Technical High School, said he appreciated the opportunity to contribute to the school district in this way. The time capsule is made of birch veneered plywood and poplar boards, he said, and is about 28 inches tall by 18 inches wide.

The now-sealed time capsule will be featured in the lobby of Board of Education’s office in Newark. “That space also has a significant number of exhibits concerning the original 1953 function of that building which was the county’s segregated high school,” Reister said. “It’s a good space to rekindle any visitors’ awareness of the importance of education and the importance of wholeness in our community.”

Rock for Recovery to include door prizes, silent auctions Continued from Page 29 “I think our biggest thing is we don’t want [to see] people who have that window of opportunity where they say they’re ready to get help, they’re ready to go into treatment, but they can’t get there,” she said. “If they can’t find a ride there or they can’t afford whatever the associated costs are, we’ve purchased plane tickets to get people to a rehab [facility] and we’ve found ways to get them where they need to be. “That really become our primary focus,” McNeeley continued. “We added it up last year, and we’ve spent almost $20,000 helping 60 people into recovery. We’re pretty excited about that.” Rock for Recovery will feature door prizes and silent auctions, including hotel and golf packages, restaurant gift certificates and other items donated by local businesses. For information on donating door prizes or silent auction items, call or text McNeeley at 202-4096537. Several local restaurants have also committed to donating food for the event, McNeeley said, and information about the Worcester County Warriors will also be made available. “Addiction affects all of us. We have to lose the stigma, so that we can all just help each other,” she said. McNeeley said she’s excited this year

with the addition of popular local classic rock group Tranzfusion to the entertainment lineup. The band began in 1977 in Cambridge as “Just Us,” and was renamed Tranzfusion in 1983. They’ve been playing classic rock by The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Who in the resort community for four decades. Drummer Bobby Malaby said the band has played with virtually the same lineup since it began, with Hank Koenig on lead guitar and Bob Davis on keyboard. Al Cook joined as the bass player about two years ago, replacing original bassist Tom Malaby, who is now working full time as an electrical engineer for Northrup Grumman at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The band has added several songs from 1980s to their set list, including Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” by The Police. “We like to give back to the community and we feel like [The Worcester Warriors] are a real worthy cause,” Malaby said.

Pups will play during Pooch Palooza festivities in Berlin By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Dogs of all shapes, ages, breeds and sizes can expect a howl-lot of fun during the sixth annual Pooch Palooza Dog Festival at Frontier Town in Berlin, Saturday and Sunday. Presented by Delmarva Unleashed, the event features two days of games, contests and activities. “It’s a great family event,” said Sandy Phillips, organizer of Pooch Palooza. “It’s the dog’s day to go out and have fun, while their humans hang with them. We really wanted to do something from the dog’s perspective, because we haven’t been able to find anything else like it on the East Coast anywhere.” Last year, more than 1,000 dogs and 2,000 humans attended the festivities. Pooch Palooza’s version of Bark for Life, “Hunt for Hope,” will take place prior to the 9 a.m. opening on Saturday. “The money we will be raising, we are giving back to the American Cancer Society,” Phillips said. “But instead of coming and just raising funds and doing a walk, this is actually called ‘Hunt for Hope.’” “Hunt for Hope” is a scavenger hunt which participants and their dogs will receive a list and search around before Pooch Palooza kicks off. Gates will open at 9 a.m. on Satur-

day, with the Ultimate Air Dogs competition. Participants will jump for bumpers off the dock tank, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Three heats will take place throughout the day in addition to a fetch-it competition starting at 3 p.m. at the dock tank. Several new events will be offered this year, including the Maze Runner. “It’s basically what it sounds like … it’s a maze,” Phillips said. “Of course, doing it Pooch Palooza style, there is a twist but we’re not going to announce that until we get ready to run the maze runner.” At least a dozen vendors will be on hand including stores such as Paws & Claws and Concord Pet in addition to HempWorx, which will offer cannabis products for dogs. Low-cost rabies shots and microchips will be available at Pooch Palooza. Some dogs will also be available for adoption. Precious Paws Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital will be on site and several professional training businesses including Smart Pups, U.S. Kennels, Delmarva K-9 and Dogs and Their Companions are slated to attend. Delmarva Unleashed will have its annual cover model search at Pooch Palooza with four chances to make an impression. The winner will be featured on the cover of Delmarva Unleashed

magazine. Pooch Palooza features a costume contest, canine photo booth, demonstrations, training sessions, pie-eating contest, companion games including a canine-human team relay and the FastFetch Cup finals. “It’s actually kind of a sophisticated game of fetch,” Phillips said. “We wanted to design something that everyone could participate in, even children. The ball has to be thrown 25 feet or 50 feet, depending on the size of the dog, and we time the dogs on the return … because they will all run after it like lightning, but some of them are not so good about coming back.” All dogs will have a chance to qualify at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and the

fastest retriever will be determined at 2 p.m. when the FastFetch Cup final takes place. This year, there will be two FastFetch Cups; the original and one exclusively for border collies called the Battle of the Borders. “The FastFetch Cup has been running for five years now, and the border collies are really hard to compete with,” Phillips said. “The labradors and any of the other big dogs that are running against the border collies just never stand a chance. We’re pulling the border collies out of the mix and they’re all going to run against each other.” Once again, a helicopter will drop hundreds of tennis balls for dogs to reSee POOCH Page 33

Relay for Life benefit at BJ’s on the Water By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) BJ’s on the Water coowner and two-time cancer survivor, Billy Carder, despite receiving a pacemaker two months ago, is amped up to perform live during the 18th annual Relay for Life benefit at the 75th Street restaurant starting at 2 p.m. this Sunday. Maddy Carder, co-owner of BJ’s, will grace the stage along with her husband for a performance by Teenage Rust and the Fabulous Rustettes, the 60s’ garage rock inspired band the couple have fronted since 1981. “This band really means everything for my husband,” she said. “He is bound and determined to play this weekend.” The Relay for Life cancer benefit at BJ’s became an established tradition shortly after Billy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2000.

“Everyone is impacted by cancer in some way with family and friends,” she said. Despite overcoming the earlier health scare, after Billy Carder was beset by vision problems in May 2012, and following two eye operations and one biopsy, doctors confirmed he had lymphoma of the central nervous system. Maddy Carder said the situation worsened in June 2013 when doctors prescribed intensive chemotherapy treatments, with the multi-weekly rounds of powerful medication eventually causing Billy to lose mobility. In September 2013, with the brain tumor gradually diminishing, medical professionals proposed Billy Carder undergo bone marrow transplants, which in the end provided an antidote to overcome what became a three-year life and death struggle.

After becoming immersed in the role of caregiver over the preceding years, Maddy Carder said watching continually-developing medical treatments like bone marrow transplants save her husband’s life, permanently imprinted the importance of supporting cancer research. After being twice blessed to put cancer in the rear view mirror, last fall Billy Carder suffered heart issues, with the latest malady resulting in a procedure to install a pacemaker about nine weeks ago. Although the Relay for Life event does help raise funds to support the American Cancer Society, Maddy Carder said the gathering serves another end. “It’s a celebration of life and not focused on raising money,” she said. “To see the inspiration of Billy barrel through everything with determination and pride.”

Sunday’s festivities also serve as a prelude to the larger North Worcester County Relay for Life annual event scheduled for Saturday, May 11 at Frontier Town Campground, located off Route 611 in Berlin. The event, held from 11 a.m, to 11 p.m. for the American Cancer Society, attracts those commemorating survival, honoring loved ones who have succumbed to cancer and individuals presently engaged in the struggle for life. Organizers have raised more than $48,000 of the $100,000 fundraising goal as of earlier this week for the event, which is sponsored by, in addition to Frontier Town, Atlantic General Hospital, Peninsula Regional Medical Center and the original Greene Turtle in north Ocean City. Representatives with North WorcesSee CARETAKERS Page 35

Pooch Palooza this weekend Continued from Page 32 trieve. At the prize booth, participants could go home with a unique gift or at least keep the tennis ball for $2 a chance. Prizes range from 89 cents (the price of the ball) to $89. Dogs can also participate in the lure chase where a plastic bag is tied to a continuous loop and pulled across the ground via a system of pullies, Phillips said. “Lure Chase is presented by Swift Paws,” Phillips said. “They are manufacturers of lure coursing machines and now have released a backyard version that is very affordable. Because Delmarva Unleashed promotes a healthy canine lifestyle, fitness is a big part and this is another activity your dog can enjoy.” All funds raised from the lure chase activity will help support Delmarva Outreach’s community goal to provide canine oxygen masks to every fire stations in Worcester County. “It’s one of those things you hope you never need, but if you have a problem and they have a canine oxygen mask on board, maybe they can save your pet,” Phillips said. “These are veterinary grade oxygen masks, so they’re going to last for a long time.” Pooch Palooza will take place Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Frontier Town, off Route 611 (Stephen Decatur Hwy). Admission cost is $12 per person or $20 for a weekend pass. Dogs and children under 10 are admitted free. “The best part is, I see that some people carry their dogs home because they’re just exhausted,” Phillips said. “It’s their day.” For more information or to buy tickets in advance, visit www.poochp a l o o z a . c o m or www.facebook.com/PoochPalooza.

‘Caretakers urge survivors on’ Continued from Page 33 ter County Relay for Life will be on hand Sunday at BJ’s on the Water selling Luminaria dedications to honor lives impacted by cancer at next month’s event. Luminaria will be used to light up the community starting at dusk during the Frontier Town event on May 11. Maddy Carder said often overlooked among the memorials for cancer survivors are the loved ones who serve as caretakers and provide positive energy to counter the darkness. “Caretakers urge survivors on and allow them to be a survivor and not a statistic,” she said. “Without a caretaker the survivor may give up.” In addition to live music kicking off the afternoon celebration at 2 p.m., Carder said patrons could look forward

to the festivities winding down with a $10,000 raffle drawing at 6 p.m., of which half supports Relay for Life. There will also be a number of smaller dollar 50/50 raffles on Sunday, as well as happy hour drink and food specials. “It’s amazing how many people will donate it back,” she said. “All the money raised stays on the Eastern Shore.” Regardless of dollars raised, Carder said the annual Relay for Life event also serves to foster cancer awareness and, ideally, offers a guiding light for others tasked with similar health struggles. “To realize how lucky we are to be together as a community,” she said. “Anyone can get through with Billy as inspiration.” For more information, call BJ’s on the Water at 410-524-7575

Both riders top of their classes Continued from Page 35 “To receive high point rider in this zone is an amazing accomplishment, particularly for such a young rider,” Coach Hilary Gibbons-Neff, who trains Brown with her teammates at Little Clovelly-C-Line Stables in Easton, said. She competes in the Open Varsity Division with other high school riders. “I got into horses when I was 5 years old,” Brown said. “It’s been a passion of mine ever since.” Brown rides every day whether it’s her own horse or someone else’s and has never missed an opportunity to be at the barn, she said. “It’s an honor to go to the national championships but at the same time, I look at it as just another show where you go in the ring and focus on the course and do the best you can,” Brown said. “It’s all about how much time you put into your riding … not all about the colors of the ribbons.” Brown works daily with her trainer, Marianne Roth, in Bishopville at Endeavor Farm. She will compete against each high point rider from all 11 zones in the country. Also performing during the finals is Lilly Paquette, 13, of Ocean City. Paquette is one of 22 youth in the country to qualify for the Interscholastic Equestrian Association Nationals in the Future Novice Over Fences Class. The top riders in the region competed at Garrison Forrest School on Feb. 16 to earn a spot at the Zone 3 Finals, at Lib-

erty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, March 30-31. Paquette finished first in her class during the regional finals and came in second at zone finals. The top two in each class moved on to the next level. She competed against 18 other riders at both regional and zone finals. “When I was in Pre-K, my class took a trip to Autumn Grove Stables in Berlin and I loved it so I asked my mom if I could start taking lessons,” Paquette said. The Stephen Decatur Middle School seventh grader has been riding horses at Autumn Grove ever since. “I’m really excited and a little nervous to represent the Autumn Grove Stables Equestrian Team at IEA Nationals,” Paquette said. “I’m also looking forward to watching all of the others riders that will be there. I would like to thank my coaches, Kristy Naughton and Kirstin Marzbanian, for all of their time and effort that they put into preparing me for this weekend.” Paquette has been riding at Autumn Grove Stables and trained by Kristie and Katie Naughton since she was 5 years old. The two equestrians actually know each other through Autumn Grove Stables. “It’s really cool that Olivia Brown will be competing at nationals too,” Paquette said. “I have always looked up to Olivia and admired her riding.” Both riders will begin their nationals’ journey today. The event runs through Sunday.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Grilled leg of lamb with roasted garlic By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 26, 2019) How does one define the term “wealth?” If you base your answer on monetary funds, I guess I would be considered underprivileged. But prosperity comes in many flavors. As the clock of wisdom progresses, I realize I am very blessed and will always be grateful. Every morning I am greeted with the serenity of the Eastern Shore. Sparkling hues glisten as the gentle breeze hum’s my favorite tune called tranquility. The majestic geese and darling ducks patiently wait for their daily feedings. Every year I watch as their flocks increase with little ones. This proud grandmother witnesses the wonders of Mother Nature first hand and truly enjoys it.

For someone who is constantly working, I relish the thought of being outside. The fresh air with hints of dewy marsh are undeniably a priceless setting. My little blue house on the water is garnished with a big deck. This may seem insignificant, but it is the background for a collection of Weber grills for every occasion. Grilling takes me to a place where I put everything aside and enjoy being one with myself. The aromas and natural caramelization of foods fascinates my culinary curiosity. It takes extreme weather conditions to keep me from one of my favorite pastimes. That being said, allow me to introduce you to the art of grilling leg of lamb.

Just a few pointers can elevate your grilling experience to a higher degree. Leg of lamb or semi-boneless leg of lamb is a rich piece of meat that creates a stunning centerpiece. Its unique flavor makes it a fabulous choice when entertaining. The idea of grilled leg of lamb may sound daunting, but in actuality it is very easy recipe to follow. Leg of lamb is a meat that really shines when it is cooked to medium rare, around 130-135 degrees. When cooking larger pieces of meat, it is imperative to have a meat thermometer. This is one

time you do not want to take a chance on guessing. You will have to order a leg of lamb from your local butcher. Harris Teeter sells semi-boneless leg of lambs in various sizes. Either way, the impressive piece of meat will wow your guests. While marinades are great, I prefer to create a simple rub of kosher salt, black pepper, crushed rosemary, garlic powder and onion powder. Cover the entire surface of the lamb with a generous amount of the spice rub. Once this is done, wrap the leg of lamb in tin foil and then in plastic wrap. Make sure the meat is sealed tightly and refrigerate for two to three days. When you uncover the meat, some of the seasonings may come off. If this is the case, simply add more of the dry rub mixture. Sometimes when grilling a large piece of meat, the coals might start to die. If you add a small splash of cooking oil to the coals, it will revive them so you can continue the cooking process. Lamb and garlic are a perfect pairing and roasted whole heads of garlic not only add to the presentation of the dish but can be included in the bread service. The individual cloves of roasted garlic are soft and not as pungent as fresh garlic. Spread the soft garlic on hot crusty bread and your taste buds will sing hallelujah. If this idea captures your fancy, a recipe has been provided. Slice off the top of each head of garlic. You want to have a good portion of raw garlic exposed, so I generally cut off one-third. Using a small spoon, slowly add some olive oil to the flesh of the raw garlic. You want the oil to penetrate the entire head of the garlic. Add a dash of kosher salt, dried thyme, and fresh pepper. Bake in an oven set at 200 degrees. It will take approximately one hour for the garlic to cook. The slower the garlic cooks, the softer and silkier the texture will be. After 30 minutes of cooking, I add some more olive oil to the head of the garlic so it does not get dried up during the cooking process. In closing, both of these recipes are easy to follow and at the same time produce a show-stopping meal. If you like to grill and want to try something new, I highly suggest serving grilled leg of lamb and roasted garlic. Trust me, your guests will love it. Enjoy!

Cricket Center walk this Sun. By Josh Davis News Editor (April 26, 2019) The Cricket Center in Berlin will take the fight against child abuse to the Ocean City Boardwalk this Sunday, during the sixth annual “Walk for Kids” event. Executive Director Wendy Myers said the walk is the center’s largest prevention effort of the year. Registration begins at 11 a.m. at Hooters on Fifth Street. The $25 fee includes the walk, a commemorative token, and admission to a reception at Hooters on the Boardwalk from 1-3 p.m. Trophies will be awarded for the top individual fundraisers and team fundraisers during the reception. “Hooters is our corporate sponsor for this event,” Myers said. “They are just an amazing support for the Cricket Center and for kids in our community. They provide all the food … and advertising, and they make donations and their staff makes donations. It’s all to help us in our [child abuse] prevention efforts in Worcester and here on the Lower Shore.” The event will also include a “kissing booth” with Josiah, a 3-year-old Labrador retriever who joined the center as a therapy dog last year. Registration can be done online at www.thecricketcenter.com, or by calling the center at 410-641-0097. All proceeds to benefit abused children in Worcester County. The Cricket Center provides trauma

therapy for abused and sexually abused children, and also aids the effort to prosecute those who harm children. Partnering agencies include Atlantic General Hospital, local law enforcement, Life Crisis, Inc., the Worcester County Board of Education, department of social services, and state’s attorney’s office. Myers said the center uses events like “Walk for Kids” to go into the community and educate people on the signs and symptoms of abuse. “Some of the ways to keep kids safe are just limiting access by other people. At least 90 percent of the time, when children are sexually abused it’s by someone they know and probably trust,” she said. “By limiting access to folks, you certainly are able to protect your children a little better. “When there are situations where you can be present, be present. If your child is in a youth group, having a trusted family member there with them [can keep them safe],” Myers added. Also, she said, parents should talk to their children about difficult subjects, like what “appropriate touching” is, as well as the importance of having a safe or trusted person around. “If it’s not the parent, then maybe there’s a teacher that a child feels comfortable speaking to, or another family member,” Myers said. “When they know they have someone safe to communicate with, that certainly provides a safety net for the child. Having those kinds of disSee SIXTH Page 40

Sixth annual ‘Walk for Kids,’ Sun. Continued from Page 39 cussions is really key.” Technology also poses new challenges for parents. “People have access to our children like never before and that means our children have access to other things too,” Myers said. “Limiting screen time and having parental controls are some ways [to keep children safe].” Again, Myers said, parents should talk to their children. “It’s not easy having those conversations with kids, but it’s necessary,” she said. “And it’s not just one conversation – it’s building a relationship where you can have ongoing dialog about what’s appropriate and what’s not.” There is an entire section of resources for parents on the Cricket Center website. For more information, visit www.thecricketcenter.com/what-ischild-advocacy/for-parents. “Parents and caregivers can also call the Cricket Center at any time, if they have any questions or if they need advice, or if they’re concerned about a child,” Myers said. Myers said the center has recently seen “a sharp increase in cases” related to child abuse. “Some of that is just the time of year. Some of that is that we’re going out and we’re talking to people and letting people know how to report,” she said. “Some of that also, we believe, is because of Erin’s

Law, which came into effect last fall.” Childhood sexual abuse survivor Erin Merryn for several years has lobbied states to pass Erin’s Law, requiring public schools to implement a preventionoriented child sexual abuse program. In Maryland, Myers said the new law also helps children understand what appropriate touching means, as well as who to report to and how to report instances of abuse. “Because our children are being educated at all different ages, we believe that we’ll start to see an increase [in reporting],” she said. “We’re hopeful that children will understand what’s not OK and they’ll find someone that they trust to tell if something is happening to them.” Myers, also the vice president of the Maryland Children’s Alliance, was recently in Annapolis to witness the signing of a bill related to child advocacy centers. The Cricket Center is the only accredited center in Worcester County, but Myers said the bill would help establish similar centers throughout the state. “Everyone worked so hard to get statewide support for that bill,” she said. “It was very much a team effort [of the Maryland Children’s Alliance] … but it passed unanimously through both houses. “That will allow every community to have an accredited child advocacy center,” Myers added. Along with “Walk for Kids,” the center each fall holds a fundraiser at The

Hobbit restaurant in Ocean City. Myers said that date would be set within the next few weeks. Additionally, this August will mark the 10th anniversary of the center being housed on the Atlantic General Hospital campus in Berlin. Myers said an open house for elected officials and members of the public would commemorate the anniversary. For information about the Cricket Center, visit www.thecricketcenter.com or call 410-641-0097. Donations to the center can be made online, or by mail to The Cricket Center, PO Box 97, Berlin, Maryland 21811.

Exploring the bald cypress swamps by kayak around Snow Hill on Saturday morning and see colorful warbler species and a shorebird-laden boat trip behind Assateague and Ocean City in the afternoon will add to the avian extravaganza.

Md. Coastal Bays Program, Audubon to release report (April 26, 2019) Audubon, MarylandDC, in partnership with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, will release the first ever “Maryland Coastal Bays Colonial Waterbird and Islands Report” in downtown Ocean City, Saturday, April 27 from 4-5 p.m. at the Marina Deck restaurant. Audubon’s report summarizes the current status of colonial waterbirds and their nesting islands in Maryland’s Coastal Bays. Iconic species of terns and skimmers that define the essence of Ocean City and Assateague birdlife are in serious decline because the islands that they depend on for nesting are rapidly eroding. In the past 25 years, more than 120 acres of islands have disappeared. Few of the islands that supported nesting colonies in 1985 remain today. Moreover, human-induced disturbance is also taking its toll on the birds. Since 1985, Black Skimmers have declined by more than 95 percent in Maryland. In the past 16 years, Common Terns have been reduced by 90 percent and Royal Terns by 78 percent. They are now listed as endangered in Maryland. Like skimmers and terns, wading birds, including herons, egrets and ibises, also suffer from island disturbance, erosion, and sea level rise. As a result of these factors, more than 95 percent of all wading birds in the Coastal Bays now breed on just one island, South Point Spoils. The report includes information on their current status. In the past, the Coastal Bays ecosystem was very dynamic with periodic breaches on Assateague Island and Ocean City providing new sand and sediment which naturally maintained islands in the bays. However, such breaches no longer occur, and eroding islands now simply disappear. For information, contact David Curson, PhD at 443-386-6345, dcurson@ audubon.org, or Dave Wilson at 443523-2201, marshhawk67@gmail.com.

fanatics. Every year, birdwatchers from surrounding states flock to the event. “This is one of our biggest nature-oriented weekends,” Lisa Challenger, tourism director for Worcester County, said. “People go crazy over the number of eagles and herons, but they will see a lot more than that birding with our guides around Assateague Island and our cypress swamps near Snow Hill. Delmarva Birding Weekend trips are so good that the governor issued a tourism award for them last year.” Social events for new and experienced birders are scheduled throughout the weekend. These “Tally Rallies” are held at local breweries, bars and restaurants, and allow participants to add to the species checklist and swap nature stories with new friends. Participants recount the event in terms of experiences rather than simply observing birds – a majestic Bald Eagle soaring

over the marsh, a tri-colored heron in breeding plumage catching fish, or the eerie hoot and shadow of a barred owl at dusk. An outdoor experience is the true draw. The Delmarva Peninsula is one of the country’s premier birding areas, because of an extensive variety of habitat protected by coastal parks, refuges and wildlife management areas. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the region and previous event tallies have topped 200 species. “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 guide and organizer Jim Rapp. “During the weekend, our guests will hike on private farmland and woodland that are normally off limits to birders, and our waterborne trips go where the birds are.”

Co-organizer Dave Wilson added that most trips are not physically taxing and that the event provides a rare opportunity to tally 100 species in a day in places that are normally inaccessible to the public. Sponsors for the events include Worcester County Tourism, Southern Delaware Tourism, the Boardwalk Hotel Group, Jolly Roger Amusement Park, the Delmarva Almanac, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, Somerset County Tourism, My Backyard, Redfin.com, and J&L Ocean Dream rentals. Special thanks also go to the private property owners who allow access to their properties for this weekend. Registration information, field trip descriptions and other resources for Delmarva Birding are available at www.delmarvabirding.com or call Rapp at 443-614-0261 or Wilson at 443-523-2201.

Trash collection: boutique service? … they can always contract with a private hauler. That would be one response the Town of Ocean City could give to property owners whose trash and garbage receptacles don’t lend themselves to automated collection by the Public Works Department’s standard fleet of trucks. As department Director Hal Adkins explained to the mayor and City Council last week, the specialty vehicles the city has been using to service about 20 nonstandard locations are nearing the end of their operational lives. The two trucks assigned this duty are 24 years old and are about ready for the scrap heap themselves, which leaves the department and other city officials to ponder how to address the issue in the nicest way possible. As Adkins noted, requiring modification of trash pickup sites in these specialty areas could cause the loss of parking spaces, and cut up landscaping and sidewalks. At the same time, acquiring or creating another specially equipped vehicle to do the job doesn’t make financial sense. Councilman Dennis Dare observed that getting another piece of equipment to handle 20 locations would be unfair to the resort’s taxpayers, most of whom switched to the automated collection protocol more than two decades ago. In fact, this shouldn’t be the city’s problem at all, considering that its only option, outside of helping the people in these areas figure out a way to help themselves, is to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars so it can provide a boutique trash service. This isn’t necessarily the fault of people who live in these complexes, and no one wishes any hardship on those who have just gone along with the program, but the reality is the program’s time is coming to a close. It really should be up to them how to avail themselves of this city service, rather than rely on the city to figure out how to provide it. Not to be harsh, but they only have two choices: do whatever they have to do to conform to the city’s standards, or continue doing it as they’ve always done it by hiring another provider.

PUBLIC EYE

In for a world of dirt

No matter how you say it, the expression “dirt cheap” has no basis in fact. Whether it’s written as “dirt-cheap,” “dirt, cheap,” or “dirt — cheap,” all of which suggest either a great bargain on dirt, or that the price of some other thing is just one By notch above “free,” the truth is anything but cheap. Stewart is dirt Bear in mind as well that Dobson other applications of the word “dirt” imply quite the opposite of cheap or insignificant. When, for instance, a person asks for the “real dirt” on someone, that person expects to hear something of substantial value — “The inside dirt is Fern and Ferd have split, and he’s run off with Boopsie.” “No! Boopsie the cocker spaniel?” “Sadly, yes.” Besides, having immersed myself recently in the business of dirt, I have found that it’s only cheap if you already have it and don’t have to buy it and load it yourself. And that’s assuming you can find some outfit to do both. Unfortunately, I failed to think of that before I unlimbered my lumber know-how and built (another misnomer, in my case) three large raised-bed gardens that, I came to realize post-construction, could hold two or three Eastern European countries. “Let’s see,” my marital associate observed, as I showed of my unhandy work after four grueling weeks of disfiguring every cedar board in stock at Home Depot, “We can put Slovenia in the corner of the first one …” Did I mention that I am to carpentry what a squirrel is to small engine repair?

My problem in that area, aside from having no knowledge, no ability and no patience — a 90-degree angle? I don’t need no stinkin’ 90-degree angle — is that I don’t measure much and don’t plan at all. I just “do” and see if anything useful happens. In this instance, I suppose you could say that three semi-rectangular boxes might be of use if you wanted to ship the world’s supply of packing peanuts to a friend, OR fill them with 5.31 cubic yards of dirt. And not just any dirt, but super good, liferestoring, extra organic and pro-vitamin rich gardening dirt, and not by myself, since that would come out to 860.22 shovel loads, which means I might wrap up this little enterprise by the 12th day of Christmas, give or take a shovel or two. As is par for the course, I didn’t think of that while I was in the process of “doing,” or that I could have bought three ready-to-assemble kits for less hassle and less money, given my special knack for cutting boards an inch short of whatever the length should have been. So let’s see: that’s $560 for the wood, $22 for flashing to hide the boxes’ uneven corners so my more talented neighbor doesn’t see them, $8 for screws of some kind and another $8 to replace the box I misplaced and was too impatient to look for, $5 for a screwdriver drill bit to replace the one that’s in the back of my truck somewhere, and $3.17 to replace a regular drill bit that may or may not have been on the bumper of my truck as I drove off to Home Depot for the 45th time. And the dirt and help I need to fill up these things, so the back yard doesn’t look like I bought three refrigerators and left the crates out back? At this point, priceless.

County on board with Berlin annexation, zoning request By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) The Worcester Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a request from the Town of Berlin to annex and rezone about half a dozen acres near Main Street and Route 50. Worcester County Director of Development Review and Permitting Ed Tudor reviewed a letter outlining the request from Berlin Planning Director David Engelhart during the commissioners meeting last Tuesday. Depending on zoning classifications, Tudor said, state law generally requires county approval for municipalities to annex and reclassify land uses. “The Maryland Department of Planning advised yesterday, due to nuances, they believe the Worcester Commissioners concurrence is needed,” he said. The Town of Berlin has proposed annexing and revising zoning for five lots totaling 6.13 acres located west of North Main Street and south of Route 50. The lots are currently used largely for residential purposes and zoned as C-2 (general commercial), which Berlin wants to amend as B-2 (shopping). In a March 14 letter, Engelhart told the commissioners the town is seeking to rezone the land as B-2, which Maryland Land Use code requires municipalities to gain approval from its county commissioners or council for five years following annexation of land. State code also restricts permitting development of the land in question for uses substantially different than the authorized use and limits increasing the development density to more than 50 percent of the previous land zoning classification without county approval. Engelhart said in the letter since the involved property is not currently zoned for residential uses by Worcester County, or proposed to be by Berlin, the density limits would not be applicable. Still, Engelhart went on to say the county commissioners would need to consider if the land uses allowed by Berlin’s proposed zoning classification are substantially different than what is permitted under the county’s zoning rules. The property is within the Existing Developed Area land use category in Worcester County’s 2006 comprehensive plan. Engelhart noted the “Existing Developed Area” included in the comprehensive plan identifies current residential and other development in unincorporated areas, while seeking to maintain the current development character.

PAGE 63

The Worcester County Comprehensive Plan states these areas are not designated as growth areas and should be limited to infill development. Engelhart said the property proposed for annexation is within Growth Area 3 as identified in Berlin’s comprehensive plan and is contiguous to the corporate limits of the town. He went on to argue the land is within an existing, developed commercial corridor and is already zoned for said usage by the county. Engelhart also cited Maryland’s Smart Growth initiative and conjectured the proposed annexation would be consistent with state recommended densities relating to growth for properties adjacent to existing municipalities and established growth areas. The Berlin Planning Commission voted unanimously following a public hearing on March 13 to recommend the annexation. Tudor told the commissioners after further review the proposal was deemed to be consistent with zoning categories outlined in the Worcester County comprehensive plan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Residents CAFO concerns ignored by state officials Editor, This year a very important piece of legislation to study the air quality around industrial chicken houses or CAFO’s failed to get out of committee for the 3rd year in a row. Despite testimony from many Eastern Shore citizens who live near these facilities and suffer from the air and deal with asthma and related respiratory illnesses and who once again traveled to Annapolis to share their stories, nothing happened. The Community Healthy Air Act would have required monitoring of several different facilities and then an analysis by scientists from the University of Maryland School of Public Health, University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Bloomberg School of Public Health and their report would have been presented to Maryland legislators. Instead, the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Delmarva Poultry Industry teamed up to perform air quality monitoring of just two locations: one upwind and one downwind of a CAFO, but with no independent scientific analysis of the data and no indication that the results will be shared with either the public or anyone else.

Worcester questions state’s Sea Oaks denial Commissioner Elder votes against requesting MDE to reconsider sewer expansion By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 26, 2019) Despite one member noting the county had refused a request to expand sewer capacity for the Sea Oaks Village project in 2017, the Worcester County Commissioners voted 6-1 last week to approve correspondence asking the Maryland Department of the Environment to reverse course after it issued a comparable denial last month. Sea Oaks is a proposed residential planned community situated on a roughly 40-acre parcel on the west side of Stephen Decatur Highway,

just over a quarter-mile south of Sunset Avenue. While the current Sea Oaks pitch includes 59 townhomes and 24,000 square feet of commercial space, for which developers have requested the county assign 63 Equivalent Dwelling Units or EDUs to allow for expanded water and sewer needs, Commissioner Ted Elder voted against asking the state to reconsider its decision. Citing the commissioners 4-3 vote in October 2017 to reject plans for an even larger footprint, Elder said, “This is the same proposal we initially rejected ourselves. We were in agreement with MDE.” Equivalent Dwelling Units are the measure employed to estimate wastewater treatment plant capacities, with each unit representing the

daily average water and sewer use for a single-family home. Shortly after acquiring the property in 2017, Sea Oaks LLC petitioned Worcester County officials to assign 139 EDUs to support developing the parcel with 135 townhomes and 24,000 square feet of commercial space. To facilitate the newest Sea Oak plans, the commissioners voted on Nov. 20 to amend the allocation of sewer EDUs in the Mystic Harbour Service Area to encompass the Sea Oaks property. The amendment also sought to alter Sea Oaks’ sewer service designation to be operational from between 6-10 years to within two years. Bob Mitchell, Worcester County environmental programs director, said MDE sent a letter on March 18

FOR AMERICA National Day Of Prayer Thursday, May 2nd Join Us At Noon, Front Of City Hall

3rd Street, Ocean City (O.C. Christian Ministers Association)

rejecting the county amendment to allow service to the proposed Sea Oaks subdivision from the Mystic Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant. “We did have a positive meeting [with MDE] days prior,” he said, Mitchell said the focus during a meeting between county and state officials on March 13 was addressing two concerns related to compliance issues at the Mystic Harbour plant. The first issue cited in MDE’s correspondence related to amending the Mystic Harbour Sanitary Area included in the Worcester County Comprehensive Water and Sewage Plan adopted in 1994. In terms of land use, MDE ruled the proposed amendment was inconsistent with the Worcester County Comprehensive Plan adopted in March 2006 and updated in Oct. 2011. The Worcester County Comprehensive Plan established “Green Infrastructure,” land use guidelines, which the Sea Oaks parcel was classified, “to preserve environmentally significant areas and to maintain the environmental functionality of the county’s landscape.” After review by the Maryland Department of Planning, which is tasked with assuring that county governments expand community sewage systems consistent with local comprehensive plans, the proposed EDU allocation was deemed inconsistent with the 2011 document. While acknowledging work continues to correct operational concerns at the Mystic Harbour plant, MDE officials ruled Worcester County is unable at this point to ensure the wastewater treatment plant facilities are sufficient to accommodate increased sewage flow. MDE also asked Worcester County officials to update progress regarding improvements at the Mystic Harbour plant and stressed the urgency to update its Water and Sewage Plan. In a Jan. 2 letter from state planning officials, Charles Boyd, director of planning coordination, said Worcester County is well beyond the statutorily required period to update the Water and Sewage Plan adopted in 1994. “As previously mentioned, had the 24-year-old WSP been updated every three years, the WSP would have been updated [at least] three times since the Comprehensive Plan was initially approved in 2006,” he said. Mitchell said the county has a sixmonth window to ask MDE to reconsider the denial to expand water and sewer capacity. “This goes to the [MDE] Secretary who will make a decision at the executive level,” he said. “We put together some solid arguments for our position within the letter.”

WORCESTER COUNTY NOTICE OF A PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Board of County Commissioners of Worcester County proposes to increase real property taxes. 1. For the tax year beginning July 1, 2019, the estimated real property assessable base will increase by 1.4% from $15,393,741,626 to $15,616,625,511. 2. If Worcester County maintains the current tax rate of $.835 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 1.4% resulting in $1,861,080 of new real property tax revenues. 3. In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be reduced to $.8231, the constant yield tax rate. 4.

Decatur baseball team drives in run after run this wk. By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 26, 2019) The Stephen Decatur baseball team scored a total of 33 runs and only gave up two against its opponents on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Seahawks went to Crisfield on Tuesday and shut out the Crabbers, 160. “We played good defense and pitched [well],” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said. “We took advantage of a couple Crisfield miscues [and] offensively we scored early.” Decatur tallied four runs in the first inning, three in the third and nine in the fourth. The game ended in the fifth because of the five-inning, 10-run slaughter rule. Senior Ridge Watson (one RBI) and freshman Ashten Snelsire (two RBIs) had two hits apiece. Senior Hayden Snelsire had one hit, two RBIs and scored twice. Senior Mason Currence pitched three innings. He struck out two and allowed two hits. Senior Alex Gaddis took the mound for two innings. He struck out two, walked one and gave up one hit. The next day, Decatur hosted the Washington Jaguars and won, 17-2, in

Pitching solid for Decatur softball By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 26, 2019) The Stephen Decatur softball team crushed the Crisfield Crabbers, 26-3, on Tuesday, but won by a smaller margin, 3-0, over the Washington Jaguars the next day. The Lady Seahawks scored four runs in the first inning and added 14 in the second during Tuesday’s match against the Crabbers in Crisfield. Decatur tallied six in the third and one run in the fourth and fifth innings. The game ended in the fifth because of the 10-run slaughter rule. Crisfield scored one run in the second, fourth and fifth innings. “Pitching was strong for us. Crisfield actually pitched well in the five innings. “We pitched well early and throughout and we played defense behind [the pitchers]. We put the ball in play, cut down on strikeouts, and forced [Washington] to play defense [and] make plays,” Ferro said. Decatur scored nine in the first inning. The Seahawks added three runs in the second and five in the bottom of the fourth. Washington tallied its two runs in the third inning. Ashten Snelsire had two hits, two See PITCHING Page 70

first three innings – their starting pitcher is solid – we just really hit well,” Decatur Coach Scott Kurtz said. “All 14 girls played and most got to hit multiple times.” Sophomore Brooklyn Pugner hit her third home run of the season. She had three RBIs and scored three times. Sophomore Katie Wrench had three hits. Senior captain Alex Richwalski had one hit and three RBIs. Senior captain Lexi Black and junior Amber Whittaker chipped in with two hits and three RBIs apiece. Black struck out four and tallied one hit in two innings. Freshman Skylar Griffin struck out two, walked three and allowed two hits in three innings. “We took a few days off, but practiced [Monday] and it paid off. We were ready,” Kurtz said. “The next six games will all be against quality competition. Our season has been good, but these next six games will determine everything.” Decatur next battled Washington on Wednesday in Berlin. The Seahawks scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and held on for the victory. “We’ve been hitting so well over the last few games, but we just couldn’t figure out what was going on with [the Washington pitcher’s] pitches,” Kurtz said. “It just took us a few in-

nings to get things going, which is not normal for us. It was frustrating for the girls and it was just odd for us as a coaching staff, because low-scoring affairs are not our normal thing.” Black, Pugner (one RBI), Wrench (two RBIs), Griffin, junior Sierra Eisemann and freshman Alexa Eisemann had one hit apiece. “We had a couple girls come up big at the plate when we needed it most,” Kurtz said. “Sierra Eisemann capitalized on both her at-bats and she got us on base. She scored the first run. Brooklyn Pugner had a nice shot to the fence to score, and Katie Wrench had an in-the-park home run.” Black struck out eight, walked one and allowed four hits in seven innings. “We really relied on Lexi Black’s pitching. She pitched a great game,” Kurtz said. “[The] defense played really tight in the infield. A couple balls got into the outfield, but we were quick to get them in. We turned our first double play of the season and that was clutch when we needed it big time.” Decatur will host the Kent Island Buccaneers on Monday and the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tuesday in Berlin. Both games will start at 4 p.m. The Seahawks will travel to Mardela Springs on Wednesday to play the Mardela Warriors at 4 p.m.

Second-half charge for Decatur By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 26, 2019) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team picked up its level of play in the second half of Wednesday’s game against the Cambridge Vikings and won the competition, 11-6. “The girls played way better in the second half than the first. They began making cleaner passes all over the field in the second half with an increased focus on cleaning up their game,” Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said. The Lady Seahawks led 4-2 at halftime. They outscored the Vikings 7-4 in the second half. Junior Sarah Engle led the charge with six goals and one assist. She also

won six draws. Sophomore Victoria Mueller scored three goals and had an assist. Junior Alyssa Romano chipped in with two goals. Sophomore Brittyn Leonard had seven assists. Junior goalie Isy Kristick recorded nine saves. “We worked on some of our focuses to perfect our game,” Braniecki said. “We saw our slow break improve, made smarter shot choices, and reduced forcing drives and passes into the offensive end of the field.” Decatur will host the Wicomico Indians today, Friday, at 4 p.m. The James M. Bennett Clippers will come to Berlin on Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. game against Decatur.
