IAFF’s arbitration petition succeeds OC election board clears way for issue to go to referendum

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Silence fell in the council chambers Tuesday, as Mayor Rick Meehan and the City Council listened to Jamie Albright of the Board of Elections announce that the local firefighter/paramedic union’s petition had enough signatures to take the union’s quest for binding interest arbitration to referendum. Required by Maryland law to obtain 20 percent of Ocean City’s registered voters’ signatures to force a referendum, the petition

exceeded that mark by 201 voters. “There were 1,656 signatures, and 242 were invalid,” Albright read from a letter written by Board of Elections Chairwoman Mary Adeline Bradford. “The board found the other 1,414 signatures were valid.” The petition was submitted to the city clerk’s office on March 2, and was remanded to the Board of Elections for verification. According to Albright, the resort has 6,067 registered voters. The council accepted the results of the petition without comment.

Sunny outlook for solar project County approves plan for 52,000 panels on tract near Route 50

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) After a public hearing at the beginning of the month, and after approving the planning commission’s findings of fact on the project, the Worcester County Commissioners on

Tuesday approved the plan for Gateway Solar’s 426-acre project near the Route 50 and Route 90 split to the west of Ocean City. Construction is set to begin on the project next year, and will make use of about 52,000 solar panels on almost 130 of the 426 acres for a utility-scale project generating 15.6 megawatts of electricity. Gateway Solar developed

sites generating about 700 megawatts of energy in 10 states, mostly west of the Rocky Mountains. The Worcester proposal is neither the largest nor the smallest of the company’s existing farms.

Where to budget cost was larger discussion

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) The one thing the Ocean City Council could agree on easily Tuesday was that the “beach ball” water tower on First Street should be lighted up at night. What wasn’t so easily decided was whether the tourism department or the water fund should cover the $4,100 cost of the light fixture and the annual $550 electric bill. After Ocean City built a million-gallon water tower with a beach ball-in-thewater paint job, city officials told Public Works Director

Hal Adkins they wanted to capitalize on the image and asked him to look into having it lit. “The first thought was to create the illusion of the ball floating by focusing the light on the ball and not the stem,” Adkins told the council at Tuesday’s work session. Original plans involved a sixlight configuration, but Adkins scrapped this plan after See TOWER Page 3

Tower to be lit up, view could be obstructed Continued from Page 1 consulting with Delmarva Power. “The height of the fixtures would violate the clearance of poles around the site, and it would cost $60,000 to adjust them.” Instead, he proposed illuminating only the logo on the tower. That would require installing a single pole on the Lazy Lizard property (with the owner’s consent) at much less cost. The staff also recommended paying for it with money from the water enterprise fund. Councilman Wayne Hartman, however, saw that as inappropriate. “It sounds like a neat idea for tourism [department] and not the water department. We agreed on a rate increase of 13 and a half percent for five years. When I think about the water bill, I think about safe drinking

water. Not lighting up the water tower,” he said. Hartman wondered whether the expenditure would be worth it, as a planned eight-and-half-story hotel could obstruct portions of the view. The Planning and Zoning Commission in December approved a site plan for the Cambria Hotel with the understanding that the water tower would be visible from the Route 50 bridge. “We don’t know what will be there, and that view from the bridge could get away. I think we’re premature,” Hartman said. Councilwoman Mary Knight thought otherwise and moved to proceed with the single light and pay for it out of the Water Enterprise Fund. She received backing from Councilman Dennis Dare.

But Councilmen John Gehrig, Matt James and Tony DeLuca disagreed with the motion on the table. Gehrig and DeLuca argued that the money should come from the tourism budget since the light highlighted another showpiece for the resort. “There’s benefits from this, but they’re all tourism-related. I absolutely think this should come from tourism,” Gehrig said. Mayor Rick Meehan countered that the Water Department should pay for the light, since the council drew on that account years ago when the tank was being designed. “We thought the logo was a conversation piece, and I don’t know why we’d only make it visible half the time. Let’s take full advantage of this,” Meehan said. “It doesn’t matter where it’s funded, but it’s also a way

to showcase our Public Works Department.” To get the lighting passed, Knight amended her motion to make the funding come from the Tourism Department. Dare was not so quick to compromise. “I don’t know where to start. It’s ridiculous. It’s $550 a year, and we’re splitting hairs?” Dare said. He then amended his second. Before a vote was called, Gehrig argued that painting the water tower was paid for by the “wrong budget.” “Lighting the logo does not affect delivery of water at all,” he said. “It’s a marketing decision and it should come out of the marketing budget. What’s proper is proper.” The motion passed 6-1, with Hartman dissenting.

Ayres Creek campground shelved By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) Although one of the possible uses for the former Pine Shores Golf Course on Route 611 was a campground, owner Todd Burbage said Wednesday he’s returning to the original idea he had for the property when he bought it: to live there. “My wife wants to live out there, that’s why I bought it in the first place,” Burbage said. The course’s clubhouse, now home to the Maryland Coastal Bays Program’s office, will remain on site, Burbage said, and he would seek a rezoning of the five acres on which it sits to allow it to remain indefinitely. Burbage said he would seek a conservation easement on the remainder of the land. There is a tinge of regret in his voice as he describes the property, and as a

real estate developer by trade, he still sees the potential. “It’s 100 acres, and it was all envisioned to be developed. About 85 percent is highly disturbed, as any golf course would be with irrigation and sand traps, and it was the right thing to do for Worcester County, but couldn’t placate everyone,” he said. Burbage said he currently pays about $7,000 per year in taxes on the land, whereas a campground would bring in about $400,000 per year in taxes. “We could use that for teachers, firefighters — everyone who needs a raise. You can’t balance budgets with the way it is now but as they say — happy wife, happy life.” The idea for the campground included between 275-300 campsites, with a little more than half suited to recreational vehicle camping. Some would have been rented seasonally,

and, by code, cabins could have made up to 25 percent of the total number of sites. The proposal for the campground emerged at the end of last year, and was met with immediate resistance from neighbors. Of concern were possible impacts to natural habitats both from the construction of the campground and increased traffic along the road. Critics also believe the campground proposal is not consistent with the county’s comprehensive plan, and Route 611, the access road to the property could not handle increased traffic and pollution a campground would bring, though no formal studies directly related to this project were commissioned. Now, however, the property is destined to home to a single-family residence.

Council has three options to handle firefighter request Continued from Page 1 Fire Fighters began its campaign last summer to alter the city charter to give the union binding interest arbitration, which would allow its members and the city to call on a third party to settle labor disputes. The effort was sparked by a dispute over a change of the 24-hour shift schedule that was proposed in the city’s contract. When negotiations broke down, Ocean City stuck to its “best and final offer” of 12-hour shifts. After talks resumed when the bargaining period was re-opened in 2017, the union agreed to 10-hour day shifts and two 14-hour night shifts in the three-year contract. “It took a lot of work to get the signatures, and we got overwhelming support from our members and the community on this,” Local IAFF President Ryan Whittington said Tuesday. Although the petition started well before the 2016 general election, Whittington said the most success the IAFF had was on election day, while campaigning outside the polls in the convention center with councilmembers and other political activists. “We had a lot of people help out that day, from members, to police officers and families,” he said. “I look forward to working with the mayor and the City Council in figuring out the next steps on putting forth a referendum.” Under the city charter, the council has three options: it can grant the union what it wants, call a special election for the referendum or put the question on the ballot in the next municipal election in November 2018, when three councilmembers will be up for re-election. Under Maryland law, it has 60 days to decide how to proceed, giving the council a June 24 deadline.

Buskers’ First Amendment lawsuit allowed to proceed By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Boardwalk performers who disagree with Ocean City government’s registration system could have their day in court, as a U.S. District Court judge has denied the city’s motion to dismiss their lawsuit. The decision issued last Tuesday by Judge William M. Nickerson was that the plaintiffs’ argument that the regulations restrict their First Amendment rights have merit. In 2015, several Boardwalk buskers and local activist Tony Christ filed suit seeking $1 million in punitive and compensatory damages as a result of the city’s ordinance that established a “first come, first serve” sign-up system for roughly 30 spaces. The performers and Christ also sought injunctive relief. Last year, Ocean City adjusted its regulations to a lottery drawing for spaces and officials worked with performers to hear their complaints this past summer. However, the lawsuit continued. The suit was rejected twice by the court because of procedural missteps, but then attorney David Gray Wright took the case on behalf of the plaintiffs and filed a third suit last September. “While not reaching the merits of the motions to dismiss … it is clear that Plaintiffs’ action arises under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which can be enforced against municipalities through … due process clause [in the 14th Amendment,” Nickerson wrote in his opinion. Last year, City Solicitor Guy Ayres filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the complaint was “little more than legal conclusions that the ordinance violates the First Amendment.” Nickerson disagreed and said that the third complaint detailed exactly how performers were limited. “Significantly, in support of this portion of its motion [to dismiss], Ocean City cites no case law in any way related to free speech and expres-

sions claims,” he wrote. “Upon review of the allegations in the third amended complaint and the relevant case law, the court concludes that the plaintiff’s allegations are more than sufficient to state claims for relief.” Several examples Nickerson referenced included magician and ventriloquist Joseph Smith, whose act draws large crowds and would need “a larger space than permitted” by the ordinance. Another example was Bob Peasley, a singer and guitar player who suffers from partial paralysis and uses a wheelchair. His physical restrictions make it difficult for him to be physically present for the weekly lottery, the complaint contends. Considering that, Nickerson wrote that the complaint aptly demonstrates how the ordinance has limited buskers’ artistic endeavors. “They have further alleged that these restrictions are substantially broader than necessary to achieve Ocean City’s interest,” he wrote. “While Ocean City may be able to refute those allegations, at this stage in the proceedings, the court must accept them as true and draw all inferences in the plaintiffs’ favor.”

Delmarva Power to decide how to connect new farm Continued from Page 1 commissioners in March, said the farm would generate energy to be fed into Delmarva Power’s grid, and would tie into existing infrastructure via two interchanges adjacent to the property. Anderson said the utility would need to install some cable to make the interchange possible, and it was likely the utility would need to bore under Route 50 to make the connection. The final decision, Anderson said, on how to achieve the connection was up to Delmarva Power.

SDHS engineering students enter crab boat into contest By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Stephen Decatur High School students from Larry Ryan’s engineering and design class will compete in the second annual Eastern Shore Crab Boat Engineering Challenge on Friday, which is hosted by the University of Maryland Eastern Shore School of Business and Technology. “They have really done a good job on it. It takes a long time to do this and there is a lot involved,” Ryan said. “I think it will be a good competition.” Using Ryan’s guidance and insight from two residents with boat constructing expertise, seven students helped to develop a 40.5-inch wooden model of a 40-foot deadrise crab boat. “A lot of the information came from local resources,” Ryan said. “It has been a learning process for all of us.” Students also utilized information from books and videos on YouTube to create the radio-controlled boat with an electric motor. “The students completely designed and built the boat on their own,” Ryan said. “Another student produced a video of the whole process.” The objective of the competition in Cambridge is for boats to carry as many crab pots at one-pound each as possible. The winner takes home an awards plaque and bragging rights.

Students will be judged in a number of categories including a written report, boat design and construction, oral presentation and performance demonstration. “This covers all the different content we try to include in the curriculum,” Ryan said. “Students are using problem solving skills, learning where to mount the motor and how to integrate electronic components in addition to structural elements and fluid technology.” Students are also taught safety while using a variety of tools along with Eastern Shore history, mathematics, engineering design and Archimedes’ principle of density and buoyancy. “It is a holistic approach and we incorporate all these skills into one project,” Ryan said. Students from all grade levels began construction on the crab boat in October. Kaleb Steele, a freshman, liked working on the electronic components. “I liked learning how the boat is built and all the parts involved,” Steele said. Jeremy Novak, a sophomore, did the bulk of the work using his shop experience background. “I enjoyed working with Joey Miller, a local boat builder. He taught us how to do a lot of these things [during the boatbuilding process] and he was a nice guy to be around,” Novak said. “I learned a lot of little things. But overall, the skills to teach others [stood out the most].”

Operations, improvements could drive up OC tax rate Property taxes, inflation, council priorities taken into account for future budgets

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) The Ocean City Council will face some hard choices in the next couple of years to cover the cost of millions in operations and capital improvements over a five-year span. City Manager Doug Miller and Finance Administrator Martha Bennett on Tuesday presented the City Council with a strategic financial plan that concludes a significant tax increase is likely to be needed. The financial plan includes forecasts of revenue, costs, inflation and the continued pursuit of several projects that are on officials’ priority list. Once finalized, the document is supposed to guide the council on how to pay for various line items in budgets for the next five fiscal years. Bennett told the council that if all assumptions were met, the property tax rate would need to be raised in fiscal year 2019 to 50.13 cents per $100 assessed value, which is a little more than 7.5 percent higher than the current rate. In the last three years, the council voted to keep to constant yield set by the state to keep generating the same amount of revenue as last year. The proposed FY18 budget includes a 46.56 cents tax rate. “Changing the tax rate to force the tax revenue to produce equal returns of the previous years would not realistically provide the resources for services in the years ahead, looking at operating costs and assessments, if the council can agree on those values,” she said. The five-year financial plan made

several assumptions based on market trends, like salary inflation at 2 percent, 4 percent increase in health care costs, 3 percent gas expense. Bennett told the council she was modest in her revenue increases, setting room tax at a 3 percent increase per year. Three-year property assessments were considered as well, with 4 percent growth predicted in FY19 and FY22 when most the island’s properties would be reassessed. Bennett’s predictions also saw the tax rate climb as operating expenses rose, until it peaked at 54.20 cents per $100 assessed value in FY21. That year, operating costs are predicted to be at $81.4 million. The projected tax rate would drop back to 50.18 cents the following year. Bennett predicted the reassessments of Ocean City properties would generate an additional $370,183,416, large portions of which would go to the state and county. But Ocean City also should receive sufficient additional money to offset the steady increase in operating expenses. Bennett also factored in debt service. City staff included a draft capital improvement plan, which details infrastructure projects, their cost, and when they would be paid for out of the general fund. In the next five years, the city is expected to pay for $64.09 million in projects. Next year accounts for a bulk of capital improvement spending at $29.3 million, a majority which is dedicated to the Public Works Campus expansion at 65th Street. Bennett reminded the councilmembers that the strategic financial plan is still a work in progress. “This is the bones of the plan, and I look to you to set the heart and See COUNCIL Page 11

OC considers raising tram fare to pay for equipment

summer 2009 at 361,111 fares. The city introduced the unlimited day pass in 2010, but revenue was still down. All tram fares brought in roughly $1.05 million by July 1, 2011. That amount stayed level for the next two years. Ridership numbers – and revenue – started to pick up in the last two years, culminating in 440,428 fares by the end of 2016 and $1.28 million in income so far. Additional revenue will be collected, as the fiscal year ends on June 30, 2017. “But out of that, we need to see which revenue went up,” Knapp said. “If people are using the [day pass], they might be looking for the best bargain. If we increase the $3 tram, we need to look at what revenue we’ll gain, and if that would hurt ridership.” In the meantime, city officials also must decide what of several alternatives to pursue. “We’re weighing the pros and cons of each option before we make a decision,” said Transit Manager Mark Rickards. He is a member of a subcommittee, composed of members from the finance, budgeting, procurement, engineering and transportation departments, that’s considering how to proceed. “There’s four options: do nothing, which isn’t an option, refurbish the old ones, buy new gas engines or buy a new fleet.” Refurbishing the entire tram, or just the trailing units and purchasing new motor coaches, could take years to complete. Tram upgrades would need to be staggered, as some cars are used for Winterfest of Lights. Buying a new fleet would cost millions of dollars, depending on the model. Using a gasoline engine, like the current trams, would cost around $1.7 million, a diesel model would cost approximately $2.2 million and an electric engine will cost about $4.5 million. Another factor city officials are considering is their plan to build a new tram facility on Second Street by spring 2018. Public Works Director Hal Adkins told the Transportation Commission two weeks ago that a fuel source needed to be decided by June 15, as he needs to know if he should plan for a gas tank or charging station in the facility’s design. The tram subcommittee was scheduled to meet this week and discuss new information. Rickards said that a viable option would be recommended in a few weeks.

“This is a draft for two reasons: we have made assumptions in putting this document together. You might disagree with those assumptions, if you do, then it will change how we do forecasting. Secondly, we’ll be back in July to start the strategic planning progress, and some capital improvement projects may change,” he said.

Miller stressed that there was still time to adjust the plan before mayor and City Council decide where their priorities should lie in the upcoming year in the strategic plan.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Ocean City officials are considering whether to add one or two dollars to the $3 Boardwalk tram fare next summer to help cover the substantial cost of buying new equipment. Mayor Rick Meehan and three councilmen who sit on the Transportation Commission suggested earlier this month that increasing the tram fare could be a way to cover the cost of replacing or refurbishing the 17-year-old fleet. The estimated replacement costs range from $1.7 million to $4.5 million. But whether the committee proposes that idea to the council will depend on what Budget Manager Jennie Knapp finds as she considers what impact the higher rates might have on revenue and tram ridership. “There are three types of fares: the all-day pass, the discount card and the straight fare,” she said. “We have to track the growth of each one before we make a recommendation.” A one-way tram ride costs $3, but the city offers a discount punch card for eight rides at $20, which comes out to $2.50 per ride. Unlimited ride passes, which allow riders to use the tram as much as they like between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., are $6 and only good for one day. These passes are not available during Springfest, Sunfest, OC Air Show Weekend, July 4th or Labor Day weekends. Examining the history of tram revenue and ridership shows how difficult it can be to predict how the market might react to a higher charge. In July 2006, the weekday tram fare was raised from $2.50 to $2.75 while weekend fare stayed at $3. That change brought an additional $300,000 income for fiscal year 2007, from June 30, 2006 to July 1, 2007, bumping it to $1.3 million. “The revenue stayed roughly the same between the two years,” Knapp said. Ridership also dropped that year, but not enough to eat up the revenue gain. There were 442,817 fares in 2005 and 411,974 fares in 2006 between Memorial Day weekend and the week after Labor Day. Knapp said this revenue stream did fall in fiscal year 2009, but that could be chalked up to the recession. That was also the year the city raised the tram fare another 25 cents to $3. Ridership was also at its 10-year-low in

Long vacant downtown lot gets site revisions approved

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) The Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission last Tuesday approved the latest revisions to a restaurant site plan that would be on long-vacant piece of land downtown last week. Since the 1980s, the land between Sunset Park and the Ocean City Fishing Pier has been empty since the Holt’s Landing restaurant was razed. Several projects have been proposed over the years, but none went beyond that stage. Keith Iott, president of Iott Architecture & Engineering Inc., told the commission members that the new plan involves a 5,550-square-foot restaurant. In addition, there would be 5,200 square feet of outdoor dining and a rooftop deck. The project, called Island Village at Wild Dawgs on Lost Lady Beach, would include an outdoor grill, retail kiosks and a food locker. These elements classified the project as a shopping plaza with 49 parking spaces. “If it was strictly a restaurant, another 18-20 spots would be needed. The main thing is this particular location has an abundance of public parking around it,” Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville said, referencing the Worcester Street lot and the parking lot where the old water tower once was. Neville added that this project was also in line with other successful mixed-use properties. “It’s an Ocean City tradition to have restaurants and shopping together. Probably the best example close by is the Inlet Village,” he said. In 2013, John Stamato with Iott Architecture & Engineering Inc. proposed a 10,893-square-foot restaurant and tiki bar with on-site employee housing. The structure,

called “Buccaneer’s Caye and Shipwreck Cove” would have been three stories tall. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission had concerns about that project’s one entry point on South Philadelphia Avenue. The commission felt it could create traffic jams with cars coming into downtown during the summer without a second exit point. Iott returned that year with an altered plan with two exit points, but that eliminated the parking spaces needed for the employee housing. The Planning and Zoning Commissioners approved the altered site plan. During last Tuesday’s session, Iott said this version of the restaurant uses the space much better than earlier incarnations. “The developer feels like the proposal in its current form doesn’t optimize the potential of the property,” he said. “He’s confident there will be a tremendous amount of foot traffic, which will help diminish the need for more parking.” Commission member Chris Shanahan worried the four islandstyle shanties included in the design could be converted to small housing rentals, but Iott assured him that the goal was for retail only. “Those would be used for T-shirt sales, soft drink sales and prepared food sales,” Iott said. “The objective is to have enough room to prepare food. Then someone can order a hamburger and sit on the Boardwalk and watch.” The commission voted 4-0 to adopt the revised plan, with the condition that the island shanties be used for retail and not additional employee housing. Commission Secretary Peck Miller and Commission Member Joel Brous were absent.

State Highway gives Council project updates New District Engineer Jay Meredith says Route 90 dualization not on horizon

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Although the leadership at the State Highway Administration has changed, the message has stayed the same: the creation of a dual Route 90 is going nowhere anytime soon. New SHA District Engineer Jay Meredith appeared before the Ocean City Council for the first time at Tuesday’s work session to update city officials on various projects. Meredith, who recently replaced long-time district engineer Donnie Drewer after he retired, told officials that Ocean City’s high priority item — converting Route 90 into a dual highway — was on his radar but no progress has been made. “It’s something that’s on our consideration due to storm events, and it’s a critical road in and out,” Meredith said. “When the administrator [Gregory Slater] will be down visiting, we’ll have it on his radar.” Mayor Rick Meehan replied that expanding Route 90 was imperative for the resort’s future in terms of emergency response. “Route 50 is at the mercy of the drawbridge, and we have found out at

In addition, several corners in uptown and midtown Ocean City had ADA improvements made this year. Four other areas, Coastal Highway and First Street, 28th Street south, 56th Street to 52th Street southbound and 54th Street north, are expected to be finished before Memorial Day. Meredith also told the council speed limit signs from 38th Street to 26th Street were moved to the median strip to see if that would be better at catching motorists’ attention. “I think you’re going to find it’s very effective and you’ll see a change,” Meehan said. “I’d like to see the signs moved to the median and those on the shoulder removed,” he said.

County remembers Garry Mumford Worcester warden passed after brief illness; adored by friends, family and staff

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) County staff and officials appeared wearing blue ribbons pinned to their lapels at the county commissioners’ Tuesday meeting to remember Warden Garry Mumford, 57, who passed away after a brief illness last Saturday. Jim Bunting, county commissioner president, Garry Mumford said the county “had lost a dedicated and respected person, and I lost a good friend.” Commissioner Chip Bertino followed, and said no one cared more about the people he worked with, and didn’t know a higher compliment to pay Mumford other than “he was a true gentleman.” Commissioner Bud Church said he’d known Mumford since he was deputy warden, and just had dinner with him two weeks ago, where they reminisced about former warden Ira

Spring hydrant flushing set to begin this Sun.

(April 28, 2017) Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin its spring hydrant flushing of the water system beginning this Sunday. The hydrant flushing, which is done bi-annually, will progress from south to north, beginning on South First Street and covering several blocks per day. Public works personnel are scheduled to perform the hydrant flushing throughout the late evening hours and into the early morning hours, although circumstances may require those times to change. A department reminder to the public said a slight discoloration of the water after the flushing, but it’s not harmful and will dissipate after a short time. People who wish to clear pipes should run cold water for several minutes until it runs clear. The completion of this project is expected to be done by the afternoon on Friday, May 5. For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing, contact the Public Works Water Department at 410-524-8388.

POLICE/COURTS

Rape Isaac Lopez, 21, of Georgetown, Delaware was charged with raping a woman in Ocean City in the early hours of April 13. While on patrol around 4 a.m., Ocean City police officers were told by a woman she had awakened in a house naked and believed she had been raped. She told police that she was drinking at a bar hours earlier when she met with an acquaintance and Lopez. She said that after leaving the bar, the men told told her of a party at an apartment on Dune Road. When the group arrived around 2 a.m., the party had ended. The woman told the men that since there was nothing going on, she would sleep on the bed. She said she was awakened by a light of a cell phone camera and a person laying on top of her, according to the report. She said that when she pushed the body off her, she saw it was Lopez. Police interviewed both men, and the acquaintance admitted that he recorded the incident. He gave officers permission to search his cell phone. Video clips show Lopez allegedly raping the woman while she appears to be unconscious, police said. Laughing was also recorded on the clips, the report said. Lopez was charged with second-de-

gree rape, second-degree sex offense, second-degree assault and conspiracy to commit rape on April 21. He is being held on a $100,000 bond.

Fight Ocean City Police charged a local man with ambushing and assaulting his victim on April 16. Officers were called to a residence on Dayton Lane around 2:49 a.m. for a fight. Once there, police found a man covered in blood with swollen eyes. When interviewed, the victim and a female companion said that they had taken an Uber to the house, where they were immediately attacked by three men. Brandon T. Olszewski, 24, allegedly punched the woman who tried to break up the fight. She told police that when her friend tried to come to her defense, Olszenski punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground. Olszewski also allegedly threw the woman’s iPhone, causing it to break. Olszewski is charged with two counts of second-degree assault and malicious destruction of property.

Cocaine in bathroom With the assistance of an off-duty officer, Ocean City Police arrested John Soghomonian, 21, of Bishopville

and Ryder Lahr, 22, of Berlin for using cocaine in a restaurant bathroom on April 21. While using the bathroom at an establishment on 22nd Street around 10:43 p.m., an off-duty officer heard Soghomonian snort several times in the stall. He also allegedly overheard Soghomonian say “one more blow” to Lahr in the bathroom. Police also said Soghomonian was seen passing a bag containing a white powder to Lahr under the stall. When police arrived, they arrested Soghomonian and Lahr, who were charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

Domestic dispute Ocean City Police arrested Neal A. Herrell, 34, of Parkville for assaulting his girlfriend on April 23. Police were called to a hotel on Baltimore Avenue around 9 p.m., where they found a woman covered in blood in the parking garage. She told police she had argued with Herrell and he had shoved her. She also said Herrell kicked her in the head and she blacked out, the report said. Hotel security spotted Herrell running after his girlfriend when they arrived and later saw him leaving with a woman’s purse, police said. The woman was later seen in the lobby bleeding. The woman had a two-inch gash to

the back of her head, two black eyes and a swollen jaw, police said. Herrell was charged with first- and second-degree assault. He was also charged with possession of marijuana after police searched his truck. Herrell is free on a $75,000 bond.

Noise A report of a vehicle driving on the Boardwalk led Ocean City police to arrest a Baltimore man for disorderly conduct and second-degree assault on April 22. When police arrived at a bar on the Boardwalk around around 12:38 a.m., employees showed images of a car driving on the Boardwalk. A man also told officers he was hit by the car while it was on the boards, and pointed out a friend of the driver in the bar. Police interviewed that man, 22year-old Quran R. Gauthier. Police said he swore at them, was generally uncooperative and appeared to be intoxicated. When police told Gauthier he could go, he continued saying profanities while walking away. Police explained the town’s noise ordinance to him and Gauthier reportedly issued a loud profanity-laced response. At that point, the man who claimed he was hit by the car yelled at Gauthier to stop. The two men started screaming in each other’s faces, and Continued on Page 20

Apparent suicide Christopher Cuono, 44, of Accomack County, Virginia died from an apparent

self-inflicted gunshot wound last Thursday, according to a press release from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. Police had attempted to serve an arrest warrant for alleged sexual assaults at about 2 p.m. on April 20 at Cuono’s residence in the Newtowne Apartments on Market Street in Pocomoke. After obtaining a search warrant, police said the Sheriff’s Tactical Team entered the unit only to discover Cuono was dead

from a gunshot wound. The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident.

Asleep at wheel Finding a standing Chevrolet Tahoe at a stop sign at the intersection of Sandyfield Road and Nine Pin Brach Road, a deputy found it difficult to rouse the driver, Frederick Dennis

Parker, 60, of Newark. After knocking on the window several times, the deputy reported he was able to wake Parker and perform field sobriety tests on him at around 5:45 p.m. on April 22. Parker did poorly on the tests, according to the deputy, and he was arrested and charged with both driving under the influence and driving while impaired by alcohol.

Schweitzer remembered as friend, firefighter, paramedic

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Officials, rescue workers and members of two communities mourned the passing this week of firefighter/paramedic Howard Alan Schweitzer, who was killed last Thursday when a car pulled into the path of his motorcycle. Schweitzer, 62, of Laurel, Delaware, was driving his motorcycle H. Schweitzer north on East Trap Pond Road near Georgetown when a Ford Explorer driven by Yajira Quintana-Tinoco, 31, of Seaford, went through an intersection and in front of the motorcycle, Delaware State Police said. Schweitzer, who was wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle and died at the scene. Quintana-Tinoco and two juvenile passengers in her vehicle were uninjured. Schweitzer was a first responder in Ocean City and Laurel for decades. He was a 17-year veteran with the Ocean City Fire Department and was a member of the Laurel Fire Department for 27 years. Ocean City’s flag was flown at half-mast this week in a show of respect. “Sometimes there are no words to express the feelings of sadness and grief you have, and the sudden loss of Alan Schweitzer is one of those instances,” said Assistant Chief Eric Peterson, who started his career in Ocean City with Schweitzer. Schweitzer also served his community as a Laurel councilman from 2011 to 2013. He recently returned to the council to represent Laurel’s Ward 3, and was sworn in on April 17. On April 21, which would have been shift that Schweitzer worked, resort firefighters draped his gear over the Fire Engine Eight in front of the 15th Street

Headquarters as a memorial. A dinner was also organized later that day to share memories of Schweitzer. Nearly 100 members of the fire department, including Schweitzer’s OCFD shift-mates and Laurel firefighters attended. Several Ocean City firefighters described Schweitzer as a friend to his colleagues in the firehouse here. “He was a brother to all of us in the fire service and our hearts are broken by his passing,” said OCFD Capt. Nick Kinhart, his shift supervisor. “We will miss his stories about his family, in particular his grandson Toby.” A memorial service was held for Schweitzer at the St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Laurel, and several Laurel and Ocean City officials attended. After the service, fireman’s honors for Schweitzer were presented at the Laurel Fire Department. Ocean City Fire Chief Chris Larmore said that Schweitzer’s death affected not only both fire departments, but Ocean City as a whole. “The department lost a member of its fire service family. Our deepest sympathies go out to Alan’s family and our prayers for comfort and peace will remain with them through the days ahead,” he said. Resort firefighter Newshawn Jubilee has also organized an April 29 motorcycle ride to honor Schweitzer. The ride will begin at the Pittsville Volunteer Fire Company at noon and proceed to the Laurel Fire Department. Jubilee asked that participants bring $20 that will be collected and donated to the Laurel Fire Department in Schweitzer’s name. “Alan was a great man, loved by many, and had a huge impact on the lives of everyone he came in contact with including myself,” Jubilee wrote in the Facebook event page. “He had a heart of gold… let’s make this a big ride doing what Alan loved to do.”

Snow Hill employee arrested at Town Hall Erica Holland, receptionist, married to high-ranking official at Wor. County jail By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) Erica Holland, 31, of Snow Hill was arrested Tuesday afternoon at her place of employment at Town Hall in Snow Hill, but no charges have been filed against her as of press time. Up until Tuesday at least, she was

employed as a receptionist for the town. The locks on the doors of Town Hall have been changed. Police Chief Tom Davis said Holland was arrested around 1 p.m. Wednesday, and released. Snow Hill police could not say when charges would be filed or what they might entail. The State’s Attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment. Town Manager Kelly Pruitt refused to confirm Holland’s employ-

ment status or salary and referred all inquiries to Mike Lupiwok at the county Criminal Bureau of Investigations. Pruitt provided a printed statement: “Anyone requesting information on the matter of Erica Holland should contact Mike Lupiwok, at Worcester C.B.I., 410-632-2080. Everyone should advise that they have no comment on the situation.” Holland is married to Fulton Holland, assistant warden at the Worcester County Jail. Because of the recent

death of Warden Garry Mumford, Fulton Holland, along with Donna Bounds, both assistant wardens, are in charge of the day-to-day operations of the jail, County Administrator Harold Higgins confirmed. Lupiwok said he could not comment on an active investigation. Mayor Charlie Dorman did not respond to calls for comment. Ocean City Today and Bayside Gazette have filed a Maryland Public Information Act request for Holland’s employment information.

Hartford delegate sentenced to jail for Ocean City DUI

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) Del. Rick Impallaria (R-7), the deputy minority whip for this past session of the Maryland General Assembly, will spend two days in Worcester County jail for DWI instead of the 60 he could have served after Circuit Court Judge Thomas Groton’s found that the arresting officer should have acted sooner. Assistant State’s Attorney Billy McDermott said under normal circumstances, the sentencing recommendation for a defendant in Impallaria’s position would be 10 days, but because of the circumstances, he would be amenable to any amount exceeding that. Groton, at first, appeared to agree with McDermott by offering a sentence of 60 days in jail, followed by 18 months of supervised probation, a $500 fine and court costs. The hefty sentence is based on Impallaria’s previous driving record, which includes 52 traffic citations, plus a previous accident that resulted in a fatality though no criminal liability was assigned, and a conviction for assault for attempting to use his car to strike other people, including his own mother and brother. McDermott also said Impallaria’s record also showed that he had been convicted of attempting to bribe a police officer. Impallaria was arrested on Aug. 18 near 82nd Street in Ocean City, when he was in town for the annual Maryland Association of Counties meeting. Groton said the officer, Pfc. Nathan Kutz, was “lying in wait” for the delegate. Groton said Kutz saw a beer in the delegate’s truck and waited for the owner to return and enter the vehicle before confronting him. If the officer’s actions were to serve and protect the public, Groton said, the time to stop a person suspected of having too much to drink would be that person enters the vehicle. Groton said the officer’s actions “rubbed the court the wrong way.” “By the same token,” Groton continued, “his intention — by testimony and statement — was to drive.” For those reasons, Groton decided to suspend the additional jail time, but left the supervised probation plus fines and costs in place. Impallaria said the fatal accident, which occurred in the 1980s, has affected all his decisions since — for good and bad. “The person who got in that car that night didn’t get out,” he said of himself, and added that he didn’t ask for someone to pull out in front of him. He said he was proud of the work he’s done in the intervening years, and his past is what makes him who he is today. In Sept. 2016, Pfc. Kutz was awarded a traffic safety award by the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commission.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) This week Nathan Simm made his second trek in as many years to Capitol Hill to lobby Congress as part of Limb Loss Awareness Month. At just four years old, however, Nathan has already proved to be an effective lobbyist. Beginning in 2010, the Amputee Coalition of America designated April as Limb Loss Awareness Month. As part of the campaign, the nonprofit sponsors an annual “Hill Day,” which gathers prosthetic wearers from across the country to lobby their Congress members in Washington D.C. for improved insurance coverage for upper and lower limb devices. Speaking on Wednesday morning from Washington, Shannon Simm said Nathan had already met with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and former Sen. Paul Sarbanes. The mother and son were part of a nine-member contingency from Maryland that was to meet with Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) that afternoon. Attempts to arrange a meeting with Rep. Andy Harris (R-1st) failed, so Simm planned to make an impromptu visit to his office. “I’m dropping off information with a personal note to request a meeting later in Salisbury,” she said. To end the day of legislative visits, Simm said the approximately 75 “Hill Day” participants are meeting with Rep. Brian Mast (R-FLA). The legislator is a former US Army soldier who lost both legs and a finger from an explosion while serving in Afghanistan in September 2010. During his first “Hill Day” last year, Simm said her then three-yearold son made quite an impact. “Everyone got a kick out of him because he was the only child,” she said. “The feedback we got on bringing him was amazing.” Although her son was nearly overwhelmed at seeing the large number

West Ocean City resident Nathan Simm, 4, visited Capitol Hill this week to lobby for amputee health coverage.

of amputees gathered from across the nation, Simm said he quickly overcame his shyness and provided some impromptu entertainment. “They focused on legislative business but Nathan was there just to have the experience,” she said. At one point, Nathan asked his mother to play in the corner and ended up drawing a crowd during an unannounced performance in the Hart Senate Office Building. “He was singing Sesame Street songs and dancing,” she said. “He did a good show and it was fun to watch the stuffy faces crack a smile and then go back to stuffy faces.” Since Nathan’s right leg was amputated as an infant because of the birth defect fibular hemimelia, Shannon Simm said he has developed a strength of character and isn’t shy about displaying his prosthetic limb. “He does not lack confidence,” she said. “He embraces it and is proud of it. He likes to show it off.” His mother chuckled while relating a recent playground scene where Nathan, found his patience running thin. See WITH Page 29

With insurance there’s never a guarantee. You don’t know if they’re going to say, ‘sorry, you’re not covered’ Shannon Simm Continued from Page 28 “We all just sat back and watched him play and the kids [kept] approaching him about his leg,” she said. “At the end, he was kind of like, ‘Oh, not another one asking me.’” Forming childhood bonds has not been a challenge for Nathan, who attends pre-school, and has several close friends in his neighborhood. “The two kids across the street are his best friends, they’re six and eight [years old,]” she said. “They’ve known him since Nate was born and are very protective.” While at therapy this February, Nathan became friends with another four-year old, Byron. The tikes share a special bond as Byron also wears a prosthetic device after losing his leg from a lawnmower accident last year. “They played and played and played,” she said. According to statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 800 children are struck by riding mowers each year, with more than 600 of those cases resulting in amputations. “It’s a huge category,” she said. “I said to Byron’s dad … it’s very different because Nathan was born like this and your son remembers what happened, which is very different psychologically.” Despite the support from family and friends, Simm worries that her son, who is already on his fifth prosthetic leg, may have difficulty with insurance coverage. “He’s going through growth spurt after growth spurt and I think he’s almost ready for another leg,” she said. “With insurance there’s never a guarantee. You don’t know if they’re going to say, ‘sorry, you’re not covered.’” Joe Hunter, Amputee Coalition spokesperson, said the intent of “Hill Day,” is to give voice to individuals with limb loss who often battle with insurance companies over insufficient coverage. In 2015, the Amputee Coalition submitted a petition to the White House with more than 100,000 signatures opposing proposed changes

in Medicare allowing local coverage determination for lower limb prostheses. “It creates a real risk for people with prosthetics and all the attendant and long-term needs that they have,” he said, “It can be pretty devastating if you happen to live in the wrong place.” This year, Hunter said a large contingency will once again attend “Hill Day.” “Really what it comes down to is this whole issue with local determination,” he said. “You end with very disparate treatment of folks with limb loss. You have many parts of the country where insurance coverages are very limited.” Looking at the big picture, Simm said denying medical coverage for the best available prosthetic limbs is penny wise and pound foolish. “These amputees want to work and they want to live their lives,” she said. “If you make it difficult on those who rely on their prosthetic leg to go to work every day it’s going to cost more money.” For her part, Simm said although the nuances of insurance regulations are beyond her young son’s comprehension, she felt it was important for him to attend the lobbying efforts in D.C. “Every amputee came up to me that day and said thank you for bringing him,” she said. “For them that’s an inspiration.” She has also received warm testimonies on the Facebook page, Standing with Nathan, which she created to raise awareness of the challenges faced by those affected by limb loss. “We can all see people with prosthetic legs but you don’t understand fully what it is for them,” she said. “I’ve had people message me on Standing with Nathan saying thank you for sharing him because I get motivated to put my leg on in the morning if this kid can do this. That meant a lot to me.” For his part, Nathan sounds more than prepared for whatever challenges may arise in the future. “I was born ready,” he said.

Decatur’s Keve Aluma to play basketball for Div. I Wofford

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

“I definitely enjoyed my career [playing basketball for Decatur], although it challenged me at times,” said Decatur senior Keve Aluma, who received a full ride to play Division I basketball at Wofford College in South Carolina. “I think that I have grown a lot since my freshman year.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 28, 2017) Maryland Basketball Coaches Association All-State First Team honors, the Bayside South Player of the Year award and a full scholarship to Division I Wofford College are pretty big accomplishments for Stephen Decatur senior Keve Aluma, who has only participated in the sport for four years. “I have only played basketball for four years and those four were at Decatur,” Aluma said. “I definitely enjoyed my career, although it challenged me at times. I think that I have grown a lot since my freshman year.” When he was younger, Aluma was a soccer player and hadn’t really thought about playing basketball until he was approached by Decatur varsity boys’ basketball Coach BJ Johnson. “Coach BJ saw me walking down the hallway one day and asked me if I played ball, and I said ‘no.’ He told me to come to an open gym,” Aluma said. “My mom told me it wouldn’t hurt to go, so I went.” Johnson said he wanted to see Aluma run and jump. From what he witnessed, Johnson knew he could work with Aluma to make him a great basketball player. “He saw me run up and down the court looking clueless, but for some reason he told my mom that if I stayed

with him for four years I would go to school for free, and the rest is history,” Aluma said. Reminiscing of when he first started as a freshman, Aluma said it is funny to think about his skill level then compared to what it is as a senior. “Looking back, it makes me laugh to see how bad I was,” he said. “He didn’t even like it at first. Soccer was his love, but he realized basketball could give him a free education,” Johnson said. Johnson said he was interested in Aluma because of his size – standing more than 6 feet tall as a freshman. Aluma’s soccer footwork and conditioning helped him on the court as he was beginning a new sport, Johnson said. And since he hadn’t played basketball before, he didn’t pick up bad habits as a child, the coach added. Johnson said Aluma contributed more and more to the team each year. He was a member of the JV squad his freshman year, but Johnson said he moved him up to varsity for playoffs. As a sophomore, Aluma averaged 10 rebounds, eight points and two blocks a game. He scored 179 points that season. He led Decatur in scoring and rebounding and Johnson presented him with the team MVP award. The Seahawks went 8-15 that year. As a junior, Aluma led the team in See ALUMA Page 32

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Runners will have the opportunity to race from Assateague Island to the Ocean City inlet during the Island to Island half marathon and 5K on Saturday, hosted by OC Tri-Running Sports. At least 2,500 participants from 34 states are expected to partake in the 13th annual event. “It is a flat and fast route,” Chris Klebe of OC Tri-Running, the event organizer, said. “We see a lot of smiling faces coming across the finish line during this event and we should have great weather.” The half-marathon course will begin on Assateague Island at 7 a.m. Participants will run along Route 611 to Landings Boulevard and make a left into the Park and Ride lot in West Ocean City.

The 5K will also start at 7 a.m. in the inlet parking lot with participants heading north, around the pier to the concrete portion on the Boardwalk. They will head up to 16th street, turn around and come back to where they started. There is an hour time limit for the 5K and a three hour and 15 minute time limit for the half marathon. About 3,000 athletes participated last year, raising $4,000 for Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services, as well as $700 for a scholarship that was given to a Stephen Decatur High School student. Men and women who finish in first, second and third place in each race will receive awards. The top three men and women in each age group will also win prizes. Half marathon finishers will receive a medal. A post-race party will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the inlet parking lot and is free to attend. There will be deejays along the course and at the party. Dough Roller will be selling pizzas and drinks. Each participant will receive one food ticket and one beer ticket during packet pickup.

Lady Mallards shut out Salis., 16-0

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 28, 2017) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team shut out the Salisbury School Dragons, 16-0, on Wednesday in Salisbury. The decisive win was bolstered by the return of several key players. “We have everyone back and healthy – almost a full roster,” Prep Coach Brooke Hahn said. “It’s the first day we’ve all been together since last week, which is really nice.” The Lady Mallards score 14 goals in the first half. In the second half, Hahn said the team worked on possession, ball placement and riding the ball from the offense to defense.

“Ten different girls scored, which is nice,” Hahn said. Sophomore Delaney Abercrombie led Worcester with three goals. Freshmen Carly Hoffman and Abbi Nechay, senior captain Julie Talbert and senior Karlie Southcomb scored two goals each. After suffering an ankle sprain several weeks ago, senior captain Leigh Lingo returned to the field. She scored one goal. “We’re pretty excited about that. It’s good to have her back,” Hahn said. “She played in increments. She took the draws and ran up and down the field fine.” Senior Kathleen Emche, junior Marissa Grosso, sophomore Chloe Ruddo and freshman Quinn McColgan

tallied one goal apiece. Prep junior Sophie Bandorick recorded three saves. “We played excellent,” Hahn said. “Our transition was great, shot placement was great and draw controls were great. We won almost all the draws.” Worcester will travel to Georgetown, Delaware on Monday to face the Sussex Tech Ravens at 5:30 p.m. The Prep squad’s seniors will be recognized on Wednesday when the Mallards play the Dragons again, this time in Berlin, at 4 p.m. The final game of the regular season is Monday, May 8 against the Cape Henlopen Vikings at 4 p.m. in Lewes, Delaware.

Ten Lady Seahawks score Aluma feels ‘blessed’ to get for Decatur in 17-3 victory full ride to Wofford College

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 28, 2017) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team netted 17 shots – scored by 10 different players – and held the Cambridge Vikings to three goals on the road Wednesday evening. “They played very well tonight,” Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said after the game. “They certainly worked well with each other and supported each other a lot.” The visiting Lady Seahawks led 8-2 at halftime. They added nine goals in the second half while the home team scored one. Senior Victoria Kerkovich contributed four goals and two assists. Senior captain Lexie VanKirk chipped in with three goals. Junior Caroline Engle and freshman Mariana Donohue logged two goals each. Senior captain Christina Romano (one assist), sophomores Logan Townsend and Lily Figgs (two assists) and juniors

Maggie Bunting, Hattie Brous and Chloe Sass tallied one goal each. Senior captain Claire Porter had two assists. Senior captain Sara Mitrecic stopped four Cambridge shots. Freshman Isy Kristick recorded three saves for Decatur. Decatur has three regular-season games remaining. The Seahawks will host the Wicomico Indians today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin. The James M. Bennett Clippers will travel to Decatur for a 5:30 p.m. competition on Wednesday. The final match of the season is against the Parkside Rams on Friday, May 5 at 4 p.m. in Salisbury. “I think if they play the way we played tonight – as a team and supporting each other – we should finish up the season with a few more wins,” Braniecki said. “That would then give us a shot at the Bayside [Conference] championship again, which I know the team really wants so I hope we find ourselves there in a couple weeks.”

Continued from Page 31 blocks and rebounds. Johnson named him Defensive MVP. He averaged 13.4 points and 12 rebounds per game. He finished the season with 349 points. The Seahawks went 24-3 last season and advanced to the state championship game where they lost to C. Milton Wright, 51-49, in overtime. His senior year, Aluma was Decatur’s top scorer, rebounder and blocker. Aluma was named team MVP and Bayside South Player of the Year, leading Decatur with 434 points and 320 rebounds his final season. The team won 25 games during the 2016-17 season and only lost two. Decatur captured the program’s first Bayside Conference championship title and second consecutive regional crown. The season ended with a 74-44 loss to Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in the state semifinals. Aluma finished his career with 970 points. He was also recently named to

the Maryland Basketball Coaches Association All-State First Team. “I have grown so much and have put in a lot of hard work to get to where I am now,” Aluma said. “I have countless coaches from around this area and as far as Virginia that helped me along the way. I would not have gotten a full ride without them.” Aluma committed to Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina during his official visit in September and signed his National Letter of Intent on Nov. 9. The 6-foot 8-inch Decatur senior said he feels “blessed” to have received a full ride to the school. “Wofford felt like a family atmosphere … I like that it is a smaller school and I will get to know my teachers on a personal level,” he said. “The coaches and the players made me feel like I was part of the family as soon as I walked on campus. “Coach Mike Young is outstanding and all his assistants are former players of his and had very successful careers,”Aluma continued. “They have been to the NCAA tournament four times in the last seven years.” The basketball team has about a 90-percent graduation rate, Aluma said. He is undecided on his major, but said he is hoping as he takes required classes he will find something that he is passionate about. Aluma is only the second basketball player in Decatur history to go to a Division I school on a full scholarship. Sherwood Purnell, who attended the University of Delaware in the early 1970s, is the other. “Coming in as a freshman knowing nothing about basketball and to get a scholarship is a great accomplishment,” Johnson said. “It’s a dream to have a kid like Keve. It was a pleasure to have him for four years.” Johnson thinks Aluma’s “better days are before him.” “The sky’s the limit for his potential,” he said. “He grew so much in the last four years. We’ll see how much more he can grow.”

I was able to buy the furnaces and cooling systems for less than you would be able to pay for the cooling system alone! So, if you buy one of these air conditioners or heat pumps, I will give you a gas or electric furnace FREE. All I ask is for $628 in labor it costs to have your new furnace installed.

MY PROBLEM IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY The extremely warm fall created an over abundance of manufacturer’s inventory. Every year, big manufacturers of air conditioning systems have to guess how many to build to meet the demand. They always have some inventory left over. Therefore, I went to one of these companies and contracted for the purchase of several central heating and cooling systems, heat pumps and central air conditioners in the most popular sizes used in this area. And, because of the quantity and time of year, I was able to buy them at drastically reduced, below wholesale, out-of-season prices. These are NOT seconds or “blems”. They are factory PREMIUM units and have a FULL FACTORY WARRANTY.

NO OBLIGATION FREE ESTIMATE We will come out and measure your home to determine the availability of the proper size. I will show you the real world price of the heating and cooling system that fits your home so you know EXACTLY how much you’re saving. My quote will include all labor and installation materials. Nothing is left out. Even after I completely explain the installation, there is absolutely NO OBLIGATION. If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings, that’s OK.

CALL NOW!

IRONCLAD GUARANTEE I’m so confident that you will save at least 25 percent on your heating and cooling bills the first year – I’m really projecting more like 30 to 50 percent - that I will pay you DOUBLE THE DIFFERENCE if you don’t. If these premium systems were not among the best on the market, I couldn’t afford to make such a promise.

410-289-1283

YOU CAN BUY WITH NO CASH You don’t even have to pay me right away. I have set up a terrific financing program offering LOW MONTHLY PAYMENTS for your convenience. I even decided not to mark up the interest rate like most companies do. Consider this: if you decide to make monthly payments instead of paying cash, the entire amount of your payments could be more than offset by the savings on your utility bills. It’s like having your cake and eating it too.

WHY THIS OFFER CAN’T LAST You must act fast because of limited supply. When all the FREE furnace units are given away in a particular size, that’s it. There are no more at this price.

Restaurant Week in Ocean City rolls along until May 7

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) The 11th annual Ocean City Spring Restaurant Week is in full swing with 25 establishments experimenting with new dishes or showcasing popular menu items until May 7. Eateries will feature special fixedprice menus ranging from $10 to $40 in addition to great deals and their regular menus for lunch and dinner. “We have a mixture of good deals and price points with scrumptious entrées,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “I’m going on the dessert tour from the salted caramel brownie sundae at Waterman’s to the lemon lasagna dessert at Longboard. [There’s also] Maddy’s famous peanut butter pie [at BJ’s] and a chocolate chip vanilla crème brulee at Horizons. “There is a place to please every palate in Ocean City with a variety of restaurants and price points,” Jones added. There are three newcomers to Restaurant Week this year: the Shrimp Boat, the Big Easy on 60 and Grotto’s Pizza. “Restaurant Week aligns itself with our principles and gives customers a chance to come in and try something they normally wouldn’t, whether it’s the crabs or a craft beer,” Shrimp Boat Owner Joe White said. “There are endless possibilities to throw a couple of menu items together [that] we wouldn’t normally do the rest of the year.” The Shrimp Boat, on Stephen Decatur Highway in West Ocean City, will be offering special menus at $10, $20, $30 and $40 price points from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. On the $10 menu, diners choose from one of six baskets paired with a domestic draft or glass of wine: a sautéed soft crab sandwich, a single fish or shrimp taco with fries, a clam strip basket with fries, a dozen steamed clams, a half-pound burger with fries or a half-pound of shrimp with fries. “The $10 menu is a chance for a group of people to come in [and dine] tapas-style, but with huge plates,” White said. “Order six things and snack. I tried to think of what I would want if I came out.” The $20 menu includes a cup of spicy seafood gumbo or the restaurant’s award-winning cream of crab soup with any sandwich or a jumbo crab cake, a half-pound of shrimp and a homemade side. For $30, diners choose three courses See GREAT Page 38

White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a different type of restaurant and have combinations never paired before on our menu.â&#x20AC;? The $40 menu includes a pound of shrimp, a half-dozen heavy crabs, two ears of sweet corn and a domestic draft or glass of wine. In addition, the local tour of seafood is a $40 option with a cup of soup, a crab cake, a half-pound of shrimp, a sautĂŠed soft shell crab, a cold-water lobster tail, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables and a dessert of key lime pie or a brownie sundae. White said customer satisfaction is paramount at the Shrimp Boat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you sit down and take a bite and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for you, we will replace it. That is what sets us apart,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is [also] neat to see people try out something and [to see] all the people we hooked on soft shell crabs. We are dedicated to this and intend on participating [in Restaurant Week again] next year.â&#x20AC;? Longboard CafĂŠ on 67th Street will offer two courses for lunch at $12 with choices of a soup, Caesar salad, spinach and artichoke dip and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strawberry Fieldsâ&#x20AC;? salad. Diners can choose from five options in their second course, including a pork belly grilled-cheese sandwich, fish tacos, a buffalo wrap, a burger, or a meatloaf Rueben sandwich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is good,â&#x20AC;? owner Rick Vach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have two new lunch sandwiches. The meatloaf Rueben is sloppy and gooey, while the adult grilled cheese is paired with a homemade tomato soup.â&#x20AC;? During dinner, there will be three courses for $35 with salads and soups as appetizer options. A Cuban shrimp

cocktail ceviche, southern cornbread and crab, steak on a stick or a goat cheese crouton round out the second course options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to feature different things and it also gives us a test drive on new items we might want to put on the menu at a different time,â&#x20AC;? Vach said. Customers have four choices in entrees: a 12-ounce New York Strip, shrimp and scallop risotto, a fresh catch of the day, or a shrimp crown imperial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lemon mustard cream sauce on our catch of the day has been popular,â&#x20AC;? Vach said. For dessert, diners have the option of choosing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatal Brownieâ&#x20AC;? or gooey bar, strawberry chocolate mousse cake, or the lemon â&#x20AC;&#x153;lasagna,â&#x20AC;? which packs layers of sweet cream cheese, lemon mousse and sweetened whipped cream into a cookie crust. Longboard CafĂŠ has participated in Restaurant Week since it opened five years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a good deal with very good prices,â&#x20AC;? Vach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are getting 25 to 30 percent off â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or better. Restaurant Week gets people out and trying different places they may have never been.â&#x20AC;? Another newcomer to Restaurant Week, the Big Easy on 60, will offer three courses for $19 on 60th Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a new restaurant, we are still unknown by some of the locals,â&#x20AC;? Manager Deanna Briddell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity to get people here who have wanted to try us out or arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what we have. [Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] Ocean City meets NOLA.â&#x20AC;? Diners start with a house or Caesar salad and can choose between 10 entrĂŠes, including the chicken ranchero, a New York strip steak, seafood pasta, jambalaya, blackened catfish, seafood gumbo, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, or braised short ribs and ĂŠtouffĂŠe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chicken ranchero is awesome.

Touch of Italy restaurants are located in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, Delaware, and in Ocean City, Maryland. There are plans to open two new locations in Milford and Newark, Delaware.

The promotion is two weeks, [so] come try out an Ocean City

classic and then come back for a NOLA dish. We pride ourselves on southern hospitality.” Customers can also opt for the $6.99 lunch specials at the Big Easy on 60, which change daily. Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week back from a travel summit on the western shore in 2007, she said. The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw customers through the doors when business is slower, and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new innovative dishes ranging from local

pubs to fine dining. “It’s a great opportunity for people to enjoy a date night or girls’ night out,” Jones said. “Get out and try some new restaurants because the deals are so tremendous. I always love an excuse to eat out.” Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. Participating restaurants will still have regular, full-price menus available during the special. For participating restaurants’ menus and prices, visit www.oceancityrestaurantweek.com.

More than 1,000 pieces of wildfowl art from working decoys and bronze sculptures to decorative realist carvings and life-size or miniature renditions will be on display during the 47th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival, hosted by Salisbury University, this weekend, April 28-30, at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street.

Carvers, artists to showcase work Between 800 and 1,000 to participate in 47th annual Ward World Championship

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Visitors will find more than 1,000 pieces of wildfowl art in Ocean City at the 47th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival hosted by Salisbury University, this weekend, April 28-30. Hundreds of species of wildfowl will be represented and displayed, from working decoys and bronze sculptures to decorative realist carvings and lifesize or miniature renditions, at the convention center on 40th Street. More than 600 bird species in the United States and others from across the globe will be represented including birds of prey, songbirds, waterfowl and shorebirds. “It is the most prestigious and largest gathering of wildfowl artists coming from across the world,” said Lora Bottinelli, executive director of the Ward Museum in Salisbury. “They are the best-of-the-best in their particular art form. First-time visitors will feel the ‘wow factor’ is worth

the price of admission by what these artists are able to accomplish.” Anywhere from 800 to 1,000 carvers from the United States, Canada, Japan, Scotland, Russia, Barbados, Netherlands, Singapore and other places around the world will compete for bragging rights, ribbons, cash prizes, trophies, medallions and certificates during this year’s competition, Bottinelli said. Artists of all levels, from novice, intermediate and advanced to world champions, will compete for a share of nearly $65,000 in prize money distributed throughout the event. Since the competition began nearly five decades ago, the Ward Championship has awarded carvers more than $2.6 million in prize money. “An interpretive division has sculptural forms of birds and you often see adventurism and creative pieces,” Bottinelli said. Wood and stone carvings in addition to decorative art are a few of the many carvings seen in previous competitions. New divisions this year, renditions of birds will be carved and replicated by using palm fronds and feathers. An award ceremony will be held on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. inside the Per-

forming Arts Center. There will be a number of nature and art-themed vendors with a variety of treasures for attendees to take home including paintings, photography, jewelry, carving supplies, original artwork, novelty items, home decorating supplies, folk art and bronze sculptures. In addition, attendees can purchase carvings from the artists at the Carvers’ Art Shop. The Kid’s Corner will offer activities such as soap carving, painting miniature decoys and carving feathers using power tools. They can also take hands-on lessons or watch demonstrations from a champion carver and decoy painter. Each year, hundreds of children in the youth division participate in silhouette carving and this year they were tasked with the mourning dove. “You really are seeing the next generation of wildfowl artists emerging at the event,” Bottinelli said. Children can also get started on painting next year’s silhouette, the migratory shorebird Red Knot, at the Kids Corner. On Friday, the Ward Museum will recognize artists Tom Christie, Curt See LOCAL Page 42

Maryland International Kite Expo this weekend in resort

The 23rd annual Maryland International Kite Exposition begins today, Friday, and continues through Sunday on the beach between Fourth and Seventh streets. The bulk of activities will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Music, bubbles, candy, and of course, kite flying, are a few of the activities taking place during the 23rd annual Maryland International Kite Exposition, going on today through Sunday on the beach between Fourth and Seventh streets. The three-day festival draws thousands of visitors to the Ocean City Boardwalk for free activities, which are open to the public and hosted by the Kite Loft. The bulk of events will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “The Kite Loft is between Fifth and Sixth streets, but there is ample room out on the beach and you will be able to see [kites flying] anywhere on the Boardwalk,” said Chris Maxa, general manager of the Kite Loft. “It’s really a kid-centric

event. Anyone ages 2 to 22 will have a great time with the fun impromptu activities.” The Kite Loft will host a free candy drop, bubbles, music, dancing and contests throughout the weekend. In addition, the multifaceted store always offers free lessons with the purchase of a kite, Maxa said. “There will be free kite flying lessons from a Kite Loft expert or manufacturing representative [this weekend on Sixth Street],” he said. The Mid-Atlantic Stunt Kite championships will take over the sky all weekend long, including sport kite flyers and a ballet portion where flyers choreograph kite movements to a piece of music. “It’s different and something you don’t see every day,” Maxa said. “You will be mesmerized by their skill and the way they can manipulate a kite into doing aerial acrobatics, ballet and tricks. It is wild to see.” “You don’t know what a kite is capable of until seeing the advanced tricks and skill levels of flyers,” he continued. “It’s really engaging and some are set to music. Saturday is generally the most popular day.” Many local kite clubs from the MidAtlantic region will be participating in addition to aficionados from all over the world and United States. “It is a fun day and kites put people in a good mood,” Maxa said. A number of massive character and themed kites from private collections can also be seen flying in the sky throughout the weekend including dragons, birds, octopus and fish. “There will be large inflatable pieces, flying characters and showstoppers,” Maxa said. “It is a photogenic event with a couple of surprises. Have fun. You are bound to find something you like.” For more information, call the Kite Loft at 410-289-7855 or visit www.kiteloft.com for a soft itinerary of events. “The Kite Loft is more than just kites,” Maxa said. “We have all the latest toys, games and crazes. It is a colorful wonderland.”

Walk for Kids this Sunday to benefit CRICKET Center

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) To raise funds and generate attention during Child Abuse Awareness Month, the nonprofit CRICKET Center in Berlin will host its fourth annual Walk for Kids on the Boardwalk this Sunday, April 30. “This event is special because it’s all about prevention,” said CRICKET Center Executive Director Wendy Myers. “While we do need the funds, our main goal is prevention. Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) are our best defense against See FOURTH Page 49

Fourth annual Walk for Kids on OC Boardwalk this Sun. Continued from Page 48 child abuse and we are the only CAC in Worcester County.” Registration begins at 11 a.m. at Hooters, on Fifth Street and the Boardwalk, with the walk kicking off at noon. A $25 donation includes the walk, a commemorative token and lunch at Hooters. The route starts at Hooters with walkers heading down to the inlet, turning around and coming back, which is a little more than a mile, Myers said. Others may decide to keep going down to 27th Street. There will be Girl Scout volunteers along the route with water and trophies will be awarded to the top individual and team who raises the most funds, Myers said. “April is Child Abuse Awareness Month,” she said. “It is our mission to spread the word about child abuse and how we can prevent it. Also, lessen the trauma to child victims after it occurs.” All participants are invited to Hooters after the walk for a buffet which includes salads, wraps, wings and additional lite fare foods. “Our event sponsor, Hooters, donates the entire buffet luncheon,” Myers said. “They are extraordinarily generous.” There will also be unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, happy hour prices for alcoholic beverages and a raffle. The raffle winner will take home a paddleboard and paddle valued at $850. Tickets will be available for purchase until the winner is drawn at Hooters after the race. Last year, more than 100 participants raised more than $10,000 for the CRICKET Center. “We already have more walkers registered this year and our goal is [to raise] $12,000,” Myers said. The Children’s Resource Intervention Center, Kids Empowerment Team (CRICKET) Center employees work as a comprehensive team to investigate, prosecute and treat child physical and sexual abuse by minimizing the trauma, preventing further victimization and promoting emotional healing for the victim and their loved ones. They partner with local law enforcement, Atlantic General Hospital, Life Crisis, Inc., the Board of Education, child protection workers and the State’s Attorney Office. The nonprofit provides a variety of free services to children and their families including a 24-hour response, onsite forensic medical exam by a SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner) nurse, on-site therapist, forensic interviewers and family advocate, community education on child abuse, an assessment and investigation of child neglect, physical, sexual and mental abuse, and when warranted by evidence the prosecution of offenders. The CRICKET Center in Berlin is one of two accredited child advocacy centers on the Eastern Shore by the National Children’s Alliance with the other

located in Talbot County, Myers said. The nonprofit organization relies heavily on grants and donations to provide victims and their families with the help they need. “We never charge any fee or bill insurance for any services we provide including medical and mental health services,” Myers said. The next event is its second annual, “An Evening at The Hobbit,” slated for Wednesday, Oct. 25. “This event features delicious food at the Hobbit [on 81st Street] and a very special live and silent auction,” Myers said. “Also, the Sea or Sand raffle winner will be drawn at this event.” Register for the walk online at www.thecricketcenter.com. For more information, contact Myers at 410-6410097 or wendy.myers@maryland.gov.

Several trips still open for Delmarva Birding Weekend Organizers suggest activities for Friday, Saturday, Sunday

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) While Delmarva Birding Weekend officially kicked off yesterday, it’s not a single event or show with a beginning, middle or end, but a laundry list of choices and locales offering residents and visitors the chance to get up close to local wildlife. Though some of the trips will invariably sell out, several events are planned each day, and the website, www.delmarvabirding.com, is updated often to let everyone know the status of each adventure. Each trip is geared for novice to intermediate birders, and takes advantage of local habitat diversity, each with its own forms of shelter, food and water supplies. From the brackish wetlands near the bays, to the salty ocean, to old-growth forests, there aren’t many other places that can offer such a wide range of flora and fauna so close, and still remain relatively separate, like Worcester County can. And though the weather report for this weekend’s activities looks favorable and warm, organizer Dave Wilson reminds potential participants that even if the outside temperature is 80-plus degrees, when you’re on a boat in 52-degree water, what you’re going to feel is 52 degrees. “You’re going to need your sunscreen, and you’re going to need your winter coats” for the trips on the open water, Wilson said. On Friday, Wilson recommends the Lewes and Delaware Bay trip, leaving from Fisherman’s Wharf in Lewes, Delaware at 107 Anglers Road at 2 p.m. The cost is $30 per person. The two-hour trip of the waters near Cape Henlopen takes participants in search of both common and rare waterfowl. “There’s a lot of great opportunities to see seals on this ride,” Wilson said. “And our winter birds are changing to their breeding plumage. It’s really pretty, and a really birdy trip.” For Saturday, Wilson suggests the Shorebird Explorer trip leaving from the Talbot Street Pier in downtown Ocean City at 2 p.m. The cost is $30 per person for a two-hour ride. This voyage will explore Skimmer Island, visible in the bay from the Route 50 bridge, and tour the north shore of Assateague Island, just south of the inlet.

“People don’t think it would be spectacular, but it usually is,” Wilson said. “The birds on Skimmer Island are starting to breed, and when we visit Assateague we’ll usually see the horses too.” Wilson said the trip is “super birdy” and usually offers Piping Plovers, Bald Eagles and Osprey, among others. “We get good looks, and close looks with lots of variety, on this one,” he said. On Sunday, Wilson offers two options, and both start early. First is WARBLERMANIA!, which begins at 7 a.m. at the Pocomoke River Canoe Company in Snow Hill, located at the drawbridge in town. The cost is $25 per person. Wilson said this is an easy way to up the weekend species tally, as there are many warblers to be had on this excursion. An hour later, at 8 a.m., the weekend offers a walking tour of Newport Farms, which is private property and usually not open to the public for exploration. The cost of this trip is $25 per person and meets at the cul-desac at the end of Hayes Landing Road near Berlin. “As usual we’re really happy with the support from Sussex County and Worcester County Tourism,” Wilson said. “It shows how important keeping things in pristine condition can contribute to the local economy. People want to come here and enjoy the area’s untouched outdoors.” For more information, including an updated list of available trips and times, visit www.delmarvabirding.com.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Grilled Cornish game hens with barbecue glaze recipe By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 28, 2017) Have you ever wondered what exactly is a Cornish hen? Cornish game hens (also referred to as Cornish hens) are small female chickens with mostly white meat that are suitable for single servings. According to “Cornish Game Hens, Facts, and History,” in order to be classified as such, a Cornish game hen must be less than 2.2 pounds in ready-to-cook weight. Because the breasts are small, there is a high ratio of fatty skin to meat. The fatty underside bastes the meat as it cooks, which might explain why the meat is more juicy, tender and flavorful than those of regular chickens. That being said, I realize as I get more mature, my mind plays tricks on me. I know I have seen Cornish hens that are larger than the specified weight of 2.2 pounds. As it turns out, Cornish hens take a long time to mature, so commercial farmers have crossbred Plymouth Rock chickens with Cornish game hens. Grocery-store Cornish chickens can be male or female and weigh between 2 and 5 pounds. Harris Teeter carries two

frozen Cornish game hens for $8.99. Traditionally, cooking magazines promote the little bird during the winter holiday season. However, why does one have to wait for frigid temperatures to enjoy the dainty, delectable bird? Personally, I think the warmer months are more apropos for such a refined delicacy. When cooking any type of bird, a chef wants to develop a crispy skin. The physical size of a Cornish game hen is not conducive for much oven time, so what is the solution? Spatchcocking the birds and giving them a rub of baking powder solves this particular dilemma. Before we delve into the subject of spatchcocking, let us briefly discuss the use of baking powder. A light rub of baking powder helps reduce the moisture so a crispier skin can be achieved. That being said, only use a small amount of baking powder, otherwise it will add bitterness to the meat. Spatchcocking is a culinary term found in cookery books during the 18th and 19th centuries, and revived toward the end of the 20th century. According to “The Oxford Companion to Food,” “Spatchcocking is of Irish origin. The theory is that the word is an abbreviation of ‘dispatch cock,’ a phrase used to See BRINING Page 54

Place the bird breast side down on a carving board. Using poultry shears or a sharp knife, cut through the bones on both sides of the backbone and remove it. Turn the Cornish game hen over and cut off the tips of the wings, they will be the first to burn. Either freeze the backbone and wing tips for chicken stock or discard them. There is excessive skin on the Cornish game hen at the base of the leg area between the leg itself and the cavity of the body. Make a 1-inch slit, then insert the tip of the drumstick. This is a simple way of keeping the legs close to the body. Repeat this process for the other side. Using a pointed skewer, go through the leg, breast and wing diagonally. Repeat this process for the opposite side. You will end up with two skewers crisscrossing each other. This secures the Cornish game hens for grilling and speeds up the cooking time. Spring is here and grills should be cleaned and ready to go. Grilled Cornish game hens with a barbecue glaze are fit for fabulous eating. Brining the bird is necessary for optimum results. I must note that cooking Cornish game hens on a grill differs from roasting in an oven. This recipe is based on grilling. There is much to do so let’s get started. Grilled Cornish Game Hens

Brining Instructions 1 cup kosher salt 4 quarts cold water 4 Cornish Game Hens (giblets removed) 1. Dissolve the salt in 4 quarts of water in a large container. Submerge hens in brine and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Prepping the Cornish Game Hens kosher salt freshly ground pepper baking powder 1. Remove birds from refrigerator and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels. Spatchcock hens and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and lightly with baking powder. Using your fingers, rub the dry seasonings into the skin. Place the spatchcocked birds on a sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Barbecue Glaze 1 cup ketchup 4 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder favorite hot sauce according to taste 1. Cook all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

To Grill Cornish Game Hens 1. Position the rack of the grill so that it is about 4 inches from the hot coals. Cook birds on both sides without the lid so they can develop a nice char but not burnt, approximately 20 minutes. Start basting with barbecue glaze until the Cornish game hens reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees. 2. Remove birds from grill and place on a rack with a sheet pan underneath. This will help stop the cooking process. Allow to rest for 5 minutes and serve immediately.

Arbor Day event with OCES students at Northside Park (April 28, 2017) The Town of Ocean City celebrates Arbor Day on Friday, April 28 at Northside Park when second grade classes from Ocean City Elementary School will present skits, poems, songs and artwork to show the importance of trees in the environment. For over 25 years, the Ocean City Beautification Committee has partnered with the students to bring this program to the community. Perhaps the highlight of the Arbor Day celebration is when students assist the mayor and city council in planting a tree at Northside Park on 125th Street as part of the Beautification Committee’s TreeMendous Program. The celebration begins at 9:30 a.m.

in the Northside Park community room with light refreshments. The festivities then move outdoors where the ceremony takes place, weather permitting. The celebration kicks off with the presentation of the flags by the American Legion Color Guard. Following the tree planting, the students will enjoy demonstrations by the Ocean City Police Department’s mounted police and K-9 units. All citizens and visitors are invited to join the mayor and city council along with the Beautification Committee for this long-standing tradition. For more information, contact Donna Greenwood, Beautification Committee chairperson, at 410-2897060 or visit http://oceancitymd.gov.

Acting workshop with O’Leary By Josh Davis Associate Editor (April 28, 2017) Going on auditions, according to actor Michael O’Leary, is a lot like the movie “La La Land.” It’s not uncommon to be in the middle of a scene when a casting director looks down at the phone, or seems more focused on what’s for lunch than the performer on stage. O’Leary, who played Rick Bauer on “Guiding Light” between 1983 and 2009, will host a workshop for young actors at Salt Water Media in Berlin on Saturday. He shared a few words of advice ahead of his appearance, should you find yourself mired in a particularly awkward audition. “As they’re looking at their phone, you just say, unabashedly, ‘do you want to take that phone call? It’s OK. Go ahead and take the call,’” O’Leary said. “Let them take the phone call and when they’re done say, ‘let’s start this from the top, shall we?’ You take charge. You have every right to ask for that.” If a casting director is diving face-first into a chicken salad sandwich, O’Leary said, “you can go off script and say, ‘man, that looks really good. I’m hungry too. That looks delicious!’” Then, without blinking, return to the exact sentence where you left off. “I instill a sense of power and empowerment, so they walk in and they are prepared for anything that happens in that casting office,” he said. “Often things happen that are just totally unexpected, and in some ways demeaning and demoralizing to actors. I prepare them so, no matter what happens, they’re going to be prepared for it and it’s not going to throw them off their game.” Distractions and interruptions are the nature of the beast, O’Leary said. The trick is to remain focused and, perhaps most importantly, try and make a unique impression. “Most [casting directors] are going to be seeing people doing the same thing. Even if your choice is completely wrong, you want them to see something they’re not going to see from 50 other actors,” he said. “You want to be sort of eccentric and different and take chances. Even if it’s wrong, they’re going to remember you. In fact, they’ll probably say, ‘you know, that was really interesting, could you try it this way?’” While acting talent is obviously important, O’Leary said patience and persistence are just as vital to young thespians. “A lot of actors just give up and they become very despondent that things aren’t happening right away. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the beast,” he said. “I try to instill in them this idea of perseverance. I think perseverance trumps talent in many respects. “Also, a lot of actors that leave college aren’t prepared for the business aspect of being an actor,” O’Leary continued. “They get the good training and everything, but they’re not prepared for what the realities of being an actor are like. I try to prepare them to have a business plan that goes beyond just being a actor, but also branding yourself, and [finding]

the kinds of jobs you can have – beyond being a waiter – that can give you the flexibility of going out for auditions. “What my goal is, is to save [young actors] 10 years of their life running around in circles, doing the wrong thing,” O’Leary said. O’Leary is currently working on his awardwinning comedy series “Steamboat,” with Scott Bryce from “As the World Turns,” shopping the concept to Michael O’Leary streaming services like Hulu and Amazon Prime. He also penned the play “Breathing Under Dirt,” which is being directed by Larry Moss. “We got an awesome response from the theater community in New York,” O’Leary said. “I’m not at liberty to say

what’s going on, but it’s pretty exciting.” The acting workshop is scheduled for Saturday, April 29 from 1-5 p.m. at Salt Water Media in Berlin, on 29 Broad Street, Suite 104. The cost is $50 for students, community players and members of the Lower Shore Performing Arts Company, or $70 for nonmember adults. A light lunch is included in the cost.

Safe boating class in OP, May 2-4 (April 28, 2017) The Maryland Safe Boating Class and certificate are required for boat operators born after July 1, 1972 but everyone can benefit from it. Why? In 88 percent of recreational boating fatalities, the operator did not have a nationally approved boater education certificate. Safety on the water is every

courses. Full-day courses are held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a one-hour lunch. Half-day courses, which are offered from 9 a.m. to noon or 1-4 p.m., can also be taken back-to-back to create a full-day schedule. Before and after care is available at the college’s on-campus child development center. The courses are designed for public, private and home-schooled gifted and talented students. A student’s gifted and talented status is determined by the school they attend, based on the student’s abilities in the areas of general intellectual capabilities, specific academic aptitudes, or the creative, visual or performing arts. Space is limited. For the best selection of classes, registrations should be submitted prior to May 1. For more information, visit www.worwic.edu/SummerScholars or call 410-334-2815.

boater’s responsibility and knowing what to do—not only in an emergency but also when docking, anchoring and passing another boat—is key to having fun and developing a culture of safety on the water. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will teach the state mandated Recreational Safe Boating Course at the Ocean Pines Library, 11107 Cathell Road in Ocean Pines: May 2, 3 and 4, June 6, 7 and 8 and July 11, 12 and 13. The classes will run from 6-9 p.m. The Maryland Safe Boating Class will also be taught twice in a one-day format at the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, 12320 Ocean Gateway, in

West Ocean City on Saturday, May 20 and Aug. 19. The class will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This is a great chance to brush up on general boating knowledge and get practical boating insight and advice from Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors. Besides the Maryland boating regulations, learn about safely navigating and piloting local Ocean City waters, basic nautical knots, trailering a boat, safety equipment and maintenance. Cost for the course is $15 and includes all materials. To register or for more information, contact Barry Cohen at 410-935-4807 or email CGAUXOC@Gmail.com.

Commentary

Taxes, spending and inevitability

Logic dictates that the odds a prediction will come true must improve over time. To put it another way, a forecast issued in 2010 that Ocean City government would eventually need a tax increase unless drastic budgetary changes were made was bound to come true at some juncture. And that, apparently, is going to happen within the next couple of years, according to the recent financial prognostications of city Director of Finance Martha Bennett. In preparation for work later this year on city government’s strategic plan, which is more of a road map populated with objectives and points of interest, Bennett and City Manager Doug Miller have presented the mayor and City Council with a five-year finance plan to guide the effort. Among other things, it outlines current spending levels along with future expense and revenue probabilities, and concludes that it’s likely the tax rate will have to go up by a little more than 7.6 percent in the next year or two. That assumes, of course, that nothing spectacularly bad or good happens in the interim. As it is, this increase wouldn’t be particularly harsh for most owner/occupants of single-family residences. A milliondollar home this year would pay about $4,656, while the bill on the higher rate would be approximately $5,013, or $357 more. Besides, tax anger often isn’t as much about the money as it is a matter of political philosophy or general distrust or dislike of government. After all, a person with a million-dollar home can easily drop $357 without complaint on couple of dinners out at a nice restaurant. But pay it to the government? Well, that’s different. We’re not necessarily advocating a tax increase, but we are saying that sticking to constant yield rates most years while costs go up and new projects are added doesn’t work. And that’s no matter how nitpicky officials might be about a few thousand spent here and a few thousand spent there. Government either has to make substantial cuts or institute a series of small increases to soften the tax hit. Barring any big spending reductions, it should start this year rather than try to squeeze through the budget one more time. This isn’t an election year either, but next year is.

Now, a singular use of they

It’s finally happened. The Associated Press Stylebook, the sacred compendium of grammar, word use and rules of punctuation for news writers across the land, has declared that “they” may now be used as a singular pronoun. I guess they is happy about that. By The rationale for Stewart this decision is that it reflects how people Dobson speak these days — “The bar raised prices because they knew nothing good would come out of the next meeting of the beer nut-producing countries.” I suspect, however, that it, or they, thought change would be easier than trying to get lazy-butt writers to understand that a singular noun must be followed by a singular pronoun. Take it from me, that isn’t easy. Over the years, I’ve even had to explain that pronouns aren’t proof of the existence of antinouns. Or that a pronoun is a position held by someone who advocates for nouns. “Excuse me, but are you pronoun?” “‘No, ‘you’ is a pronoun.” “Yeah, well you is a egg-sucking dog.” “That would be ‘AN egg-sucking dog, my friend.’” That’s the problem with grammar, when most people don’t care whether it’s “an egg-sucking dog” or “a egg-sucking

PUBLIC EYE

dog,” you’re not going to win any arguments about small things such as whether “they” is singular, plural or somewhere in between. Further, is the word “they” an “it” or is it, too, a “they?” Of course, the other aspect of “they,” according to the AP, is some people who don’t identify with any gender want to be referred to as “they” rather than he or she. Here’s what I don’t get: we already have a singular pronoun — “it” — so, why do we have to invent a new one? I understand that some people think of “it” as being impersonal, or maybe an object as opposed to a person. The fact remains, however, that the dictionary says, among other things, that “it” is used to represent a person … whose gender is unknown or disregarded.” Don't get me wrong, I don’t care what anyone’s preferences or gender or personal circumstances might be. I believe people ought to do whatever makes them happy. For all I care, a person can put himself, herself, themself or itself down as The Lone Ranger when one official form or another asks for critical information. I’ll still buy himself, herself, themself or itself a beer. It’s fine with me. But what isn’t fine is confusing grammar, when I have enough trouble as it is remembering the five or six rules I do grasp fully. On the other hand, I guess I shouldn’t be so stodgy and learn to embrace our living and evolving language. I’m just wondering, if they sees they, and they forms a union, do they become they or theys? I is still confused.

Lane closures on Route 113 between Snow Hill and Berlin Sporadic roadwork will take place into next year on $86 million highway dualization

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (April 28, 2017) Drivers on Route 113 between Snow Hill and Berlin will continue to encounter lane closures during peak travel hours until Memorial Day, with single-lane traffic limited to off-peak hours during the summer as construction crews complete a more than $86 million highway dualization project. Work on the project, however, could stretch well into next year. Maryland State Highway Administration Spokesperson Bob Rager, who said Phase 3 of the Route 113 project covers a 4.6-mile stretch of roadway between Massey Branch at the north end and Five Mile Branch Road, provided a progress update on Monday. “We continue to do a lot of grading, most visibly at the north end near Langmaid Road,” he said. “In a couple of weeks, weather permitting, we’ll put down soil cement, which is a prelude to the first paving operation on the new roadway alignment.” Next month Rager said traffic on Route 113 near Newark would be fully rerouted for an entire weekend. “Motorists should look for a weekend closure in May for replacement of the railroad crossing near Newark Road,” he said. “We’ll post the exact dates soon on our message boards along U.S. [Route] 113.” As with most road projects, Rager said extensive time is spent complet-

ing ground drainage work. “We’ve done numerous cross-road pipes using overnight closures to minimize travel impacts, and those have gone well with just a short detour,” he said. By June, Rager said motorists should see the first signs of base asphalt at the north end of the Phase 3 stretch. Progress has been slower at the south end as crews work to move overhead power lines, he added. “We still have to relocate about 3,000 feet of aerial lines underground,” he said. “Even though it was a relatively mild and dry winter, it doesn’t take much to slow progress once you clear an area and expose soil.” In light of the high voltage work, Rager said crews in some locations had to utilize special mats to maintain safe working conditions. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 11,000 vehicles travel Route 113 between Snow Hill and Berlin each day, with 20year projections estimated to increase to 25,000 vehicles daily. Moving forward, Rager said motorists should see visible progress on the north end of the work zone during the coming weeks, with grading and paving proceeding on the south end shortly thereafter. “Once we get everything in the ground at the south end we’ll push ahead with grading and paving there as well,” he said. “We’re looking to get as much base asphalt down by this fall as we can. Depending on temperatures, we may have to wait until next spring to pave the final riding surface.”

Public hearing for county budget in Snow Hill, May 2 By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (April 28, 2017), Worcester residents will have their chance to tell the Worcester County Commissioners what they think about the fiscal year 2018 budget at public hearing at Snow Hill High School beginning at 7 p.m. next Tuesday. Because the county’s assessments increased, if the county charges the same rate as last year, at 83.5 cents per $100 assessed value, the county will bring in almost $2 million more than it did last year. The county is not considering a tax cut, but is proposing a tax increase to 86.7 cents per $100 as-

sessed value. The extra money would go to closing the $6.7 million shortfall between revenues and expenditures that appears in this year’s spending plan. At this point, the commissioners have not yet begun to trim the budget requests from municipalities and its own departments. That process is expected to begin soon. According to Zillow.com, the median home value in Worcester as of March 2017 is $214,500, which would incur a tax bill of about $1,791 under the previous rate. If the increase were to be adopted, that bill would increase to about $1,860, a difference of about $69.
