By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Before celebrating it’s one-year anniversary, Worcester County’s newest high school robotics team took home awards ranging from “Rookie All Star” and “Rookie Inspiration” to “Regional Finalist” from robotics competitions. Now, the team can add “top 25 percent at a global match” to that list. It wasn’t without bumps along the way, but Team Titanium-Wrecks, a group of 14 public, private and home school students, made a great showing in the FIRST Robotics Championship See T-WRECKS Page 4

SUMMER PRE-SEASON SALE

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) City council approved a plan this week to eliminate next year’s proposed one-cent tax hike by stretching revenue estimates, delaying some new initiatives, and most importantly cutting in half the anticipated pay increase for nonunion employees. The city will save $206,274 in pay and associated social security by pushing back the 2.89 percent nonunion payroll increase from the beginning of the fiscal year – July 1 – to Jan. 1, thus giving non-union employees their pay raise for half the 2014-2015 fiscal year instead of the whole. The city’s chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters will be receiving an across-the-board increase at the beginning of the fiscal year, but the Fraternal Order of Police will get theirs halfway through, as the general employees now will. “I think it’s fair to give the general employees a raise at the same time as the police department,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. However, it is important to note that – although not across-the-board - the majority of FOP membership will, in fact, be receiving a raise at the start of the fiscal year. The union’s contract calls for the pay step lost due to recession cuts in 2011 to be restored at the beginning of the coming fiscal year for any employee who was eligible at the time. A number of savings will also come from reconciling long-term changes made after the 2014-2015 budget draft was started. These include the refunding of 2004 bonds at a lower rate and funds from OCDC for the mortgage on recently-purchased downtown properties. Savings realized recently in the current 2013-3014 budget can also be See TAXES Page 6

Petito, OC’s rec and parks director

(May 2, 2014) The Town of Ocean City has announced the promotion of Susan Petito to the position of Recreation and Parks director. The position recently became vacant when 16-year veteran employee, Tom Shuster, retired on April 1. Following Shuster’s retirement, the town held Susan Petito a national search for candidates which resulted in dozens of qualified applicants. Petito, who has worked for the Town of Ocean City’s Recreation and Parks Department since 1986, stood out among the nearly 100 candidates, according to City Manager David Recor. “Susan has been a dedicated employee for almost 30 years and offers direct experience with the department’s operations and facilities,” Recor said. “On top of an enormous amount of experience, she is dynamic, versatile and has productive working relationships with other town departments and divisions.” As director for Recreation and Parks, Petito will manage Ocean City’s recreation programs, parks and facilities, as well as satellite facilities and Eagle’s Landing golf course. She will also oversee the development of four divisional budgets, totaling over one million dollars, as well as administer the collection

of revenue and additional operations, including concessions, Ocean Bowl Skate Park and Ocean City Tennis Center. Petito, a native of Baltimore County and a graduate of University of Delaware, brings a variety of experience, knowledge and certifications from other areas in the recreation and parks field. An active member of the National Recreation and Park Association as well as the Maryland Recreation and Parks Association, Petito is currently serving as vice president of the Parks and Recreation Maryland Municipal League Department. In addition, she has received numerous awards and honors in the field of recreation, including the Dorothy Mullins Arts and Humanities Award from the National Recreation and Park Association. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the Recreation and Parks Department in Ocean City,” Petito said. “We have amazing facilities, an extraordinary staff and a variety of programs for residents and visitors to enjoy. I have always been proud to be an employee of this department and I can say I am even more thrilled to contribute to the growth and development of our recreation and parks as the director.” The announcement of the new director isn’t the only exciting change for the department. In January , the Special Events Division was moved from the Recreation and Parks Department and

was realigned with the Convention Center and Tourism Department to create a synergy amongst the tourism related branches within the town. With more annual events and a brand new Performing Arts Center, the Special Events Department now works collectively with its tourism counterparts to enrich the events and performances throughout the town. In addition, effective May 1, the town’s Beach Patrol Division will become part of the Emergency Services Department. “The mission of the Beach Patrol remains unchanged,” Recor said. “They will continue to act as our primary ambassadors in the summer months but will now have the ability to collaborate and coordinate their efforts with the town’s other public safety professionals, as well as utilize additional public safety resources.” “With a new director of Recreation and Parks and the organizational restructure complete, the Town of Ocean City is enthusiastic for the change. “Ocean City has grown enormously and continues to grow each year,” Recor added. “Not only are we hosting more special and private events, but we are drawing more and more visitors to our beach. Special Events and Beach Patrol are two of our most visible and recognizable divisions and I am confident that these organizational realignments will result in collaborative working relationships and effective service delivery.”

T-Wrecks finishes 25th at robotics world tournament

PHOTOS COURTESY OF TEAM TITANIUM-WRECKS

Will Mast co-mentors Team Titanium-Wrecks, a Worcester County high school robotics team that traveled to St. Louis to compete in the FIRST Robotics Championship Competition last week.

Continued from Page 1 Competition in St. Louis last weekend, competing among the top 400 teams from around the world. They pulled 25th place in their 100team division and, as mentor Paul Suplee said, “for a rookie team, that’s fantastic.” Each year, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) announces a new robotics challenge to engage youth in science and technology. This year’s contest, called aerial assist, pitted two teams of robots against each other in a high-flying challenge, where each side tried to throw a twofoot yoga ball into five-foot-high goals as many times as possible during a short match.

Teams across the globe had six weeks of intense build-time to design and create their robots, and Team TWrecks decided on a defensive design for “Buttercup,” its robot aptly named for the butter trays creatively incorporated in its design. The robot’s primary goal was the block the opposing team’s shots, rather than make them itself, and with its ability to block shots up to 9 feet in the air, Buttercup ran “beautifully” in one of the qualifying matches last weekend, Suplee said. “Our drivers were just 100 percent on with defense,” he said. The machine “ran beautiful interference, beautiful defense the whole match and just killed it.” The team ended up winning that match 250-41 and progressing through the first day of competition, last Thursday, undefeated. Battling in a total of 10 matches in its 100-team division, Team T-Wrecks fought against much larger teams before landing in the 25th spot on Saturday. “They were excited. They were very excited,” Suplee said of the “Wrekkies.” “None of us knew what to expect.” The team had to cross a few hurdles along the way, including a $15,000 fundraising goal to register for and fly to the St. Louis competition. After some problems with the field at the Chesapeake Regional FIRST competition in early April, their robot needed some major repairs when then team finally arrive in St. Louis last week. “Our robot was just literally in pieces, and because it was so late, we just had to throw it in a bag and ship it to St Louis,” Suplee said. But after a day and a half, Buttercup was back in business. The team networked with other seasoned robotics clubs from around the world, including the Lambots, of Mexico City. Not only did that give them some new ideas, but could also lead to a regional competition in Mexico City a few years down the road, SuSee LOCAL Page 5

Meeting set to discuss teen binge drinking Data shows Worcester Co. adult binge drinking ranked third highest in Maryland

(May 2, 2014) The Worcester County Health Department is partnering with Stephen Decatur High

School and the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Club to hold an informational meeting for parents, youth and concerned citizens to discuss the issue of underage binge-drinking and its prevention. The meeting is scheduled to take place, Monday, May 5, from 6-8 p.m.

Local robotics team takes on worldwide competition Continued from Page 4 plee said. “When you see the teams that have been around for awhile, it’s just impressive technology,� he said. “Some of the machines were just stunning — marvels.� While the rest of the robotics year is not as intense as FIRST season, Team T-Wrecks will jump into a new robotics projects in two weeks, Suplee said. He doesn’t want to give away the task just yet, but did say it will be a water-based project. In addition, “we’re going to really focus on doing specific projects to get the programmers up to speed on things like infrared, LED light recognition and other cool things we saw at the competition,� he said, already

looking toward future FIRST challenges. “We don’t just want to be good this year as a rookie team. We want to be good,â€? said Team T-Wrecks’ Co-captain Jacob Mast, a junior at Snow Hill High School, in an earlier interview. “I think we’ve really made that happen,â€? Mast said. Team T-Wrecks is searching for a permanent shop to call home in the Berlin area. Anyone with space, electricity and a bathroom can fill the need by contacting Suplee at pgsuplee@gmail.com. Visit Team Titanium-Wrecks online at www.team-t-wrecks.org, or search for “TitaniumWrecks Team 4945â€? on Facebook or @TeamTWrecks on Twitter.

in the Stephen Decatur High School cafeteria. During the meeting, data will be reviewed; a video will be shown about hosting parties at home; resource information will be shared; and an opportunity for open discussion will be provided. A light meal will be served. Parents, youth and community stakeholders are invited to attend. This is being coordinated by the Worcester County Health Department and Worcester County Public Schools – including Stephen Decatur High School and its SADD Club in cooperation with the Strategic Prevention Framework Process Team, a sub-committee of the Worcester County Drug and Alcohol Council. Maryland statistics show that the

percentage of adult binge-drinkers in Worcester County ranks third in the state; therefore, it is imperative that we educate our youth and our parents before dangerous habits start. A strategic plan has been developed to address these concerns; however, it was felt that the parents, youth, and the community should be informed and involved in developing solutions. With prom, graduation, and summer season break looming, it is a good time to raise awareness and engage stakeholders in order to prevent the negative consequences that can result from underage youth using and over consuming alcohol.

Taxes will not go up after adjustments made Continued from Page 1 used to pre-pay for items that otherwise would go into the 2014-2015. “I believe I can find almost $105,000 in the current budget,” said budget manager Jennie Knapp. More budget headroom was also realized by boosting the estimate for building permit fees income by $50,000, thus boosting the town’s revenues on paper, but reducing the margin of error for any shortfalls throughout the upcoming year. “Construction permits have been up,” Mitrecic noted. “As somebody who deals with that office, I think we could probably receive another $25,000 on top of that easily.” City Manager David Recor said he would be pursuing a review of the permit fee schedule, increasing rates so that fee income comes closer to

covering administrative costs. “There may be more money there if the consensus is to move ahead with a review of the department fee schedule,” Recor said. The vehicle trust fund will also be reduced $90,000, putting off the purchase of a new street broom. “We would’ve had to get through the current season with the old street broom anyway, so we can put the purchase on hold and try to find the money for next summer,” Knapp said. Another $85,000 was knocked off the budget by using the savings previously allocated for street paving on operating expenses. Street paving is allocated at $1.3 million, short of the $2 million annual goal the city needs to keep pace with its aging roadways. The city typ-

ically dedicates savings in other areas throughout the year back to the fund, which is currently at $1.9 million for this year. Further reductions were made by funding two new staff positions for only half the year. A new training coordinator for the Human Resources Department will be hired halfway through the fiscal year, instead of at the beginning. The city’s part-time Special Events Coordinator was also scheduled to be made full-time, but this will happen in January instead of July as well. The only budget increase discussed this week was a $13,000 expenditure to upgrade the city’s internal network backup software, a stop-gap measure requested by City Engineer Terry McGean to secure the city’s data until funding can be found

for more costly upgrades. All combined, the budget changes will result in the $851,795 in reductions necessary to drop the town’s tax rate to 47.04 cents per $100 of assessed value, instead of the proposed 48.04 cents. The lower value is the so-called “constant yield” rate calculated by the state assessor’s office to bring in the same dollar value of taxes as last year, given fluctuations in assessed property values. However, the city had proposed earlier this year to raise that rate by one cent due to budget woes.

‘I’m not in opposition to the changes made to get back to constant yield, but I’m not moving this forward out of my concern over the union contracts.’ Council member Margaret Pillas Although they supported the reductions, council members Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas voted against moving the budget forward due to this year’s financial restrictions being the result of union pay raises, which they voted against. “I’m not in opposition to the changes made to get back to constant yield, but I’m not moving this forward out of my concern over the union contracts,” Pillas said. Combined raises for the FOP and IAFF this fiscal year come to $244,307. The city is also anticipating a $335,423 increase in pension and post-retirement medical contributions for union and non-union employees.

Worcester herp searchers scour Delmarva for reptiles Snakes, box turtles, fence lizards, salamanders, frogs among area species sought (May 2, 2014) The 14th annual Great Worcester Herp Search will take place Saturday, May 10, when volunteers scour Delmarva lands for reptiles and amphibians. Sponsored by the Coastal Bays Program, Salisbury Zoo, Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Salisbury University, the search kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Delmarva Discovery Center in Pocomoke City. A brief pre-hunt training session will feature live turtles, snakes, frogs and salamanders and explain ways to identify them in the wild. It is free to the public and will be held to prep volunteers for searching four sites in the morning and afternoon. Last year, 132 reptiles and amphibians representing 19 species were the result of the search held in Worcester County. Finds included coastal plain milksnakes, ringneck snakes, and smooth earth snakes. Box turtles were found along with fence lizards, marbled salamanders and four-toed salamanders. Four species of frogs and toads were encountered including the rare eastern narrow-mouthed toad.

In Worcester, there are approximately 19 species of snakes, 15 species of frogs and toads, six species of salamanders, 13 species of turtles, and four species of lizards. The search will provide data to help DNR scientists better understand population trends in this declining group of vertebrates as they continue the first ever Maryland Herp Atlas. Any person finding any reptile or amphibian can contribute to the atlas by posting a photo or recording along with date and location on the Lower Shore Herp Atlas Facebook page. This year’s herp search sites include public and private parcels in the heavily forested southern part of the peninsula. No animals are harmed or removed from the wild during the search. Participants should bring a sack lunch and drinks. Groups will return from the field around 12:30 p.m. for lunch then hunt again until approximately 5 p.m. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Sunscreen, mosquito and tick repellant, Green Briar proof-pants, bright clothing, and boots are recommended.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Given the volatility of international relations, “status quo” is typically seen as a good thing when it comes to the thousands of foreign students the resort relies upon each summer as temporary workers. “Usually a big change means something bad has happened,” said Irina Capaldi of visa agency CCI Greenheart. “We like it to stay the way it is for a while.” In a few short weeks, students will begin arriving under the U.S State Department’s J-1 visa program, which offers young people from overseas to opportunity to experience America while working to pay off their travel costs. The program was originally conceived in the 1960’s as a tool of diplomacy, giving foreign youth a chance to see all the opportunities the United States has to offer in terms of both jobs and cultural experiences. Over the last two decades, however, the rapid expansion of the program has led to widespread allegations of abuse – although not necessarily in Ocean City, which the State Department considers to be somewhat of a model area with many visa sponsors and advocacy groups offering trips and activities for foreign student-workers.

ATLANTIC DENTAL

Beginning in the summer of the 2012, the State Department began a program of increased oversight on the J-1 system, requiring the exchange agencies which sponsor the students to regularly check in and report on students’ whereabouts and living conditions. “For probably a year and a half now, the regulations are that the sponsors who bring the students have to vet the job offers and the housing…

Conestabile said she expects to sponsor roughly 1,200 students in Ocean City this season. According to State Department data, 4,518 students from 44 countries passed through the resort last summer. “There’s a heavy emphasis on letting employers, students and anyone else know that this is a diplomacy program for the State Department,” Conestabile said.

dip in the number of students from the former USSR, which was at the eye of the State Department’s scrutiny. With the current unrest in Russia and the Ukraine, it was feared that those numbers would be even more restricted, but this has not been the case. “We’ve been seeing more and more students from those countries get their visas, even though we were expecting quite the opposite,” Capaldi said. Even still, the J-1 population in Ocean City continues to be dominated by those students from Eastern European countries with relatively better relations with the U.S. Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova, respectively, were last year’s top three contributors. Fourth was Ireland – the only English-speaking country with a sizeable population in Ocean City. Irish students were extremely common in the resort area in the 1990s, and their numbers have since started to climb back up in the last three years. However, most visa sponsors seem to agree that the future of the program likely lies in the Far East. “We have had a very nice influx lately from Asia – China, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan,” Conestabile said. “All of those countries are contributing heavily lately.”

Irish Outreach in need of place to call summer home By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) With students expected to begin arriving at the end of the month, Ocean City’s advocacy group for foreign student-workers, Irish Outreach, is still in search of a space for the summer. “We have looked at places that would work, but we just didn’t’ have the funding for those rents,” said the group’s director, Rick Fairbend. Although it assists visiting students of any nationality, Irish Outreach specifically targets students from the Emerald Isle, who often arrive in the resort without guaranteed housing or jobs. Because Ireland qualifies for the U.S. State Department’s Visa Waiver Program – which includes the J-1 work-travel visas used by most summer students – many are not required to have accommodations in order to get into the county. Irish Outreach helps them find work, housing, and supplies students with donated household goods. “We’re still collecting supplies, but we don’t have anywhere to put them,” Fairbend said. Most of the group’s leftover materials are in a storage unit in Delaware. The group receives funding from the

Republic of Ireland itself, via the embassy, and from the Irish Apostolate USA. The total budget for rent, Fairbend said, is $4,000-$5,000 dollars, but most storefront spaces in the resort would need twice that for a summer. In its fourth year of renewed operation after a long hiatus, Irish Outreach operated mainly out of Fairbend’s van in 2011. “We really do need a physical location,” said Fairbend’s wife and co-director, Pat. “I’ve always told the students that our center is their home away from home. They can come in and talk at any time.” The group is trying to solicit funding from local businesses and associations, or find a space that will offer a break on rent. “The businesses want these kids here and need them here,” said group volunteer Jim Wahl. “It would be great if they would give us some support.” The group recorded over 550 visitors to its location on 33rd Street last year, Rick Fairbend said. Although that storefront provided the group ample space last year, it has been rented to a commercial tenant..” Anyone wishing to make a donation, or with a viable property to rent, can call Rick Fairbend at 302-2583615.

MOTHERS DAY SPECIALS MAY 11 (menu on following page)

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) A melee outside a north end bar and restaurant in the early morning hours of April 20 resulted in the arrest of two men and one woman. A taxi driver flagged down an Ocean City police officer who was on patrol near 100th Street at about 1:20 a.m. to tell him things were getting out of control at the 116th Street site. As the officer arrived there, security staff were flagging him down and screaming for help. Approximately 50 people were outside and one man was trying to run away. The officer saw two men, Marvin Kendell Battle, 40, of East Orange, N.J., and Shontae Tarik Booker, 40, of Cresco, Pa., punching and attacking the man. Holding onto a metal pipe, Marvin Battle Booker allegedly swung it toward the man who was trying to get away. The man ran north, but Booker and Battle caught him and attacked him in front of another business. The police officer saw Booker hit the man in the head with the metal pipe and he also saw Battle kick the man who had been pushed to the ground, according to the charging documents. As the officer ran from his vehicle toward the men, he yelled that he was a police officer and he ordered them to stop, but Booker and Battle continued to attack Shontae Booker the victim, kicking him in the head while he was on the ground. As Booker pulled back the pipe in readiness to hit the man again, the officer deployed his taser into Booker’s left lower torso. Booker then dropped the pipe and fell to the ground. He complied when the officer told him to place his hands behind his back so he could handcuff him. The officer then told Battle to get onto the ground so he could handcuff him and Battle complied.

After Booker was arrested, another officer took custody of him and he was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and then returned to Ocean City to be processed. The investigation at the site revealed Booker, Battle and Battle’s wife were playing pool with two men, who were losing the match. One of the losers pushed a pool ball into a pocket and the players started arguing. Battle’s wife told police that B. Coulbourne she, her husband and Booker had tried to leave but the argument continued in the parking lot. Her husband, she said, was “jumped on by many people. She also said Brooklyn L. Coulbourne, a 22-year-old woman from Salisbury, pulled out a knife and held it up in a stabbing motion when she walked up behind either Battle or Booker. Because of the crowd, she was not sure which man Coulbourne walked up behind. Believing that Coulbourne was going to stab one of the men, Battle’s wife removed one of her shoes and threatened to hit Coulbourne, who backed up and put the knife away. The fight continued and numerous people struck Battle, so Booker stepped in to help him, Battle’s wife said. The man who had been struck with the pipe and his pool partner both had significant facial swelling and a laceration on their faces, but they refused treatment by paramedics. After discovering that the establishment’s manager had video footage of the altercation, three police officers watched it. The video showed Battle throw two punches at one of the men he had played pool with. The victim fell to the ground and appeared to have been knocked unconscious. Booker then walked over and kicked the victim, according to the charging document. Battle then got on top of the motionless victim, and repeatedly punched him in the face. The offiSee MELEE Page 13

Animal Control using Facebook ‘New way to partner citizens with agency to adopt pets or to learn more about neutering programs (May 2, 2014) Worcester County Animal Control invites residents and animal lovers to connect with it on Facebook. The new page went live Friday, April 25. “Facebook lets us reach out to a much larger audience and provides animal enthusiasts and concerned citizens alike with another great resource,” WCAC Chief Susan Rantz said. “This type of close and immediate partnering between citizens and government dramatically increases the chances of our four-legged friends securing safe, dependable, loving families, whether that is through adoption or a lost pet being found. Kindness matters, and Facebook offers tangible opportunities to show these vulnerable pets that we care for their needs.” Friends can find and post information about lost pets and view adoptable cats and dogs, comment on WCAC happenings, and learn about upcoming spay/neuter programs and microchip clinics at the shelter. Friends will also find links to partnering organizations, including both the Worcester and Wicomico County Humane Soci-

eties, and pet rescue organizations, like Faithful Friends, A Friend of Mine, Delmarva Cat Connection and Lost Pet PR. They can also get to know WCAC mascots Harley and Mia. Those searching for lost pets are invited to post photos of their animals on the Facebook page to seek the public’s assistance in finding and bringing them back home. “Believe it or not, there are still many citizens and visitors who don’t know we offer pet adoptions,” WCAC Assistant Chief Glen Grandstaff said. “We’re also in the business of reuniting lost pets with their families. Both avenues are not only part of the WCAC mission, they also bring a smile to our faces, because there’s just nothing better than seeing that transformation an animal makes from being fearful, lost and lonely to happy, healthy and trusting.” ‘Like’ Worcester County Animal Control on Facebook and discover new ways to help lost, abused and abandoned pets secure forever homes. Since January, 47 cats and dogs at WCAC have been placed in loving, adoptive homes or with partnering agencies, like Delmarva Cat Connection, to increase their chances of being adopted. For additional information about volunteer opportunities, adoptions or upcoming clinics, contact WCAC at 410-632-1340.

Alleged Peeping Tom caught in Delaware Registered sex offender held cellphone under door of ladies restroom stall

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) A registered sex offender was charged in Delaware with being the Peeping Tom who held a cell phone camera beneath a bathroom stall door at Walmart and tried to take pictures of the woman inside last month. At about 9:30 a.m. April 3, state troopers from the Berlin barrack responded to Walmart and learned about the man’s attempt to take the photos. The woman in the stall had seen the man’s hand, holding a cell phone, reach underneath the door. She phone, she told police. Seemed to

be taking photographs or creating a video. The woman immediately pulled up her pants and ran after the suspect. Confronting him, she said she George Toth wanted to see the phone to make sure he had not taken pictures of her. The man responded by walking quickly out of the store. He walked toward the Home Depot entrance, where the woman lost sight of him. Before she lost sight of him, however, she used her own cell phone to take photos of him. She gave those

photos to a state trooper, who saw that they showed the suspect to be a white man, approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 275 to 300 pounds and wearing black sweatpants, a brown hoodie or jacket and tennis shoes with a bright orange outsole. Troopers also obtained Walmart’s video surveillance, which showed the suspect had loitered near the eastern side of the store’s entrance doors. The video showed the victim entering the store and the suspect putting his phone down. Then it shows the suspect following the victim into the bathroom area. Less than one minute later, the suspect is seen running from the bathroom area, followed by the victim, who is pointing and yelling. Ten days later, investigators observed additional surveillance video

from Walmart. This video showed a man getting out of a tractor-trailer that had backed into a loading spot at Home Depot. The man in this video matched the suspect that had been seen following the victim into the store. After talking to representatives from the Home Depot shipping and receiving area, investigators were able to identify the suspect as George Toth of Kregeville, Pa. After getting an arrest warrant charging Toth with being a Peeping Tom and prurient interest, the investigators tracked him to the Home Depot in Dover, Del. They contacted the Dover Police Department and Toth was arrested on those charges and an out-of-state fugitive warrant. Detectives with the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation interviewed Toth in Dover and they also found he was a registered Tier 2 sex offender through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Toth was taken before a judge in Delaware and was released on $2,000 bond. He is scheduled for a May 23 extradition hearing back to Maryland. The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation continues to work on this case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office or the bureau at 410632-1111.

Commission hears views on taxi rate ceiling increases Formal session held giving medallion holders time to lodge opinions on fare hike By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) The Town of Ocean City is continuing to consider a taxi rate ceiling increase, although it was made clear this week that a sharp division exists on the issue amongst taxi owners themselves. The city’s Police Commission, which also serves as the regulatory body for taxis, held a formal session this week for taxi medallion holders to lodge their opinions on raising the cap on taxi fares. The commission has not made any formal recommendation, but will submit its findings at an upcoming council session, according to Councilman and Commission Chair Doug Cymek. “We’re going to send everything we gathered to the full Mayor and Council and vet it with everyone,” Cymek said. “Generally, there is a consensus that there should be some adjustment, although probably not as much as is being sought.” Cabs operating in the resort are permitted to charge up to $3 for boarding, followed by a per-mile rate.

The current $2.20 maximum rate was established in 2009; originally, when the city first instituted taxi regulations in 2000, the rate had been $3 per mile, but this was subsequently lowered. Taxi companies are still free to charge less than the legally-proscribed maximum if they so wish. The rate structure and ceiling was established by the city in order to prevent price gouging of visitors who may not be savvy to the taxi system, and thus protect the resort’s image when it comes to transportation. Earlier this year, at least three cab companies got behind a pitch to raise the rate to $3.70, which they said was based off a 50 percent rise in gas and maintenance costs, as well as a 20 percent rise in cost-of-living for drivers. Several others got behind the idea this week. “We’re asking for an increase because of the cost of repairs and maintenance, which are pretty high,” said Nelson Stepanyn of Coastal Cab. “In Ocean City, the job is only three-anda-half months long…you have to be able to fix your cabs and still make enough to get through the winter.” “The rates have been the same forever,” said Jerry McPherson of Cen-

OC continues to consider fare hike for cab companies tury Taxi. “With gas going up, we support an increase. It’s something that should’ve already happened.” However, there is an apparent divide between the larger and smaller taxi owners on the issue, with the larger outfits preferring that the city keep the rates low. “The two largest cab companies were against an increase, and some of the smaller companies openly questioned why that was so,” Cymek said. In order to solicit fares originating in the Town of Ocean City, cabs must possess one of 170 city medallions currently in circulation, creating a rather limited market. Smaller cab companies have often alleged that low prices play to larger companies, since taxis are an economy of scale.By keeping rates low, smaller cab companies have less of an ability to generate the liquid capital needed to purchase medallions and expand their operations. Instead, their business stagnates and their medallions are bought by the large companies who have the resources to do so. “It’s going to get harder and harder to survive, and they’ll end up selling to someone else,” Stepanyn said. When the city first began regulating taxis in 2000, the 170 medallions

were sold for $1,500 each. Since then, trading between owners has seen the average price rise to around $5,000, of which a 25 percent surcharge goes to the city upon sale. “Several owners stated that they were looking to buy more medallions,” Cymek said. “We all realized up front, with 170 medallions, that the market was going to seek its own level.” The major concern previously voiced by city officials was that a rate hike would be a shock to those who rely upon taxis for necessary transport, as well as discouraging tourists from using the service. But McPherson said that most consistent local customers do not pay the maximum fare. “We do have a decent year-round business and we give a discount to locals in order to do that,” he said. Further, the majority of cabs’ summertime business consists of tourists going to and from nights on the town – if a person is already dropping a considerable chunk of money on food and drinks, a marginal increase in taxi fare is unlikely to dissuade them. “It’s a whole lot cheaper to take a cab, even if you raise the rate, than it is to hire a lawyer after you get a DUI,” McPherson said.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Sparks literally fly around Rick Stevens’ classroom, where high school students are taking a class not offered in the county in more than a decade. Every day, 14 students gather for the 90-minute welding session at Worcester Technical High School, which brought back the program after 14 years thanks to a renewed interest from the community. “We just saw the need to bring the welding back again,� said Stevens, a welder himself and teacher of 29 years, who heard similar input from local companies such as Chesapeake Shipbuilding and Delaware Elevator. “It’s obviously a good trade with all the fishing in West Ocean City. They always need repair,� he said. Brainstorming for the class began almost a year ago, when Worcester Tech began converting its manufacturing classroom into a welding studio. That’s not cheap, Stevens said. “A welding machine, itself, is right around $7,000,� he said, and that doesn’t include the “consumables� like metal that are required for the class. The program is already using new technology to cut down on costs,

though, with a program modeled on video games that helps beginning welders master the basics before donning their helmets and wielding a torch. The teachWELD Welding Simulator is a pre-requisite before students take to the shop, where dangerous tools are involved, Stevens said. It also allows them to maximize practice before trying the real deal. “They can knock out 30 welds in an hour� instead of three or four, thanks to time saved on preparation and cooling materials, he said. But “it’s welding 101. It’s not deigned by any means to replace welding in the shop,� Stevens said. Despite recycling metal, welding is one of the most expensive classes offered at Worcester Tech, but Stevens is already seeing the course pay off. Just two months into the two-year program, one student is already out on work study at Mumford Sheet Metal Works in Selbyville, Del., Stevens said. Because of limited space and supplies, the welding class is capped at 15 students, mostly from grades 10 and 11. It’s already full for next semester and plans are in the works to expand the workshop to accommodate more, Stevens said.

City will restrict beach smoking for 2015 Council makes statement on what expected to be partial ban; sets timeline By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) City Council made a strong statement – but no action just quite yet – on what is expected to be a partial ban on smoking on public beaches, setting a timeline to pass an ordinance by the end of this summer that will go into effect before the 2015 season. Council voted 5-to-2 on a motion by Councilman Brent Ashley to declare the city’s intent to have smoking restrictions go into place on May 1, 2015. What those restrictions will be is undetermined, but Ashley’s motion

also required that city staff have a report on potential restrictions by Sept. 1 of this year, with council to pass an ordinance by Sept. 30 with an effective date of May 1, 2015. “The smoke-free beach idea was first proposed in Ocean City over 20 years ago,” Ashley said. “Since that time, over 190 other beaches in the U.S. have gone smoke-free, and the list is growing.” “It’s economics,” Ashley said. “The number of smokers in the U.S. is at an all-time low and continues to decrease…inaction will mean less tourism dollars.” Council Secretary Mary Knight seconded Ashley’s timetable, but encouraged council to not characterize it as an outright ban but as “a smoking policy that accommodates everybody’s needs.”

“It accommodates the 80 percent direction rather than saying we’re of people that don’t smoke and the 20 going to do it on May 1 [2015].” percent that do,” Knight said. “I think Although he is a non-voting memit’s a more positive term than ‘ban.’” ber of the body, Mayor Rick Meehan In all likelihood, the city will re- encouraged council to go with the strict smoking to a select few areas of plan. beach, but the mechanics of how ex“I think what Brent has stated is actly this will be done will be ham- that as of May 1, 2015, we are going mered out over the next several to have some kind of restrictive weeks. smoking policy in place,” Meehan “I support the idea in theory,” said said. “Are there things we need to disCouncilman Dennis cuss and decide beDare. “But I think tween now and when a lot of places then?

Ban on beach smoking will happen before 2015 season Continued from Page 20 With elections in November of this year, “it’s very possible you’ll get a different council in the next election, and you can’t hold them to what this council has done,” Pillas said. “But if it’s a referendum, then it has to get done.” However, City Solicitor Guy Ayres noted that a referendum would not actually be binding, as there is no provision in the city charter for a ballot measure to necessitate new legislation, only for it to strike down existing legislation. Further, Cymek pointed out, the results of a referendum are likely a foregone conclusion in favor of a ban. “This won’t tell you anything you don’t know today,” Cymek said. “It’ll tell you that the voters in town made a choice,” Pillas replied. “It tells you that this won’t get backed up with a new majority.” Even if non-binding, a referendum would make it more politically difficult for the council to back out of the issue after the election, as has happened before. Likewise, Councilman Joe Mitrecic voted for the measure as long as the final ordinance would be voted on before November, even if it did not go into effect until May of next year. Mitrecic will be resigning his seat in

order to take Ocean City’s seat on the Worcester County Commissioners, for which he is running unopposed in the upcoming election. “It’s difficult for me to vote on something I won’t be here to discuss,” Mitrecic said. “There may be a completely different council makeup at

Since that time, over 190 other beaches in the U.S. have gone smoke-free, and the list is growing.’ Councilman Brent Ashley that time that’s voting on rules I’m coming up with today.” Regardless, the vote taken this week does not constitute an ordinance, and the timetable could always change up to the passage of legislation. Even after that, the court of public opinion would still have its say. “We at least have to set a goal,” Meehan said. “If the majority of this council believes it is obtainable...then we at least have a plan.”

Assateague seeking public’s picnic, parking viewpoints National Seashore to host three workshops to help define area’s core values (May 2, 2014) Assateague Island National Seashore is planning for a more resilient Bayside Picnic and Parking Area. The NPS is asking the public to help the park define both the natural and cultural values and characteristics important for protection of this popular area. To do this, the National Seashore will host three public workshops: Tuesday, May 13, at 6 p.m.; Wednesday, May 14, at 9 a.m. and and Saturday, June 7 at 9:30 a.m. The three workshops will be held in the park’s Environmental Education Center at 7206 National Seashore Lane in Berlin. The workshops are the first step in the development of a new environmental assessment to evaluate a more sustainable location for the facility. “We really want to work with the public to understand what they value about Bayside peninsula,” said park superintendent, Debbie Darden. “We hope the public will tell us what they feel would make a great location for a new Bayside Picnic and Parking Area.” The new plan, the Bayside Picnic and Parking Area Relocation Environ-

mental Assessment, will look at a broad range of alternatives. “Nothing is off the table. We’d like to hear as many ideas as we can for making this important park day-use area more functional and less susceptible to damage from erosion while safeguarding bird and animal habitat,” Darden said. The environmental assessment will look at the area’s natural and cultural resources, to be sure that they are protected as a part of the study. “We will be asking the public to share their knowledge about this special area with us as a part of the work,” said Chief of Resource Management, Bill Hulslander. “We will gather information from the public, non-profit organizations, and other federal and state agencies to ensure that we understand fully what they value about this popular and important area of the park.” Previously, the NPS had looked at two alternatives for the area in the Bayside Picnic and South Ocean Beach Parking Areas Removal and Relocation Environmental Assessment in 2013. At the end of that process, in March 2014, the NPS announced that it would repair the current Bayside Picnic Parking Area in its current location, substituting a clay base and clamshell surface so that during future storms, asphalt is not washed into the bay.

County’s liquor licensee prices competitive

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) When an Ocean City bar received its delivery of 107 bottles of spirits Tuesday from the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control, its tab was $2,025.08. If the owner had bought the liquor from wholesalers, the tab would have been $2,073.85. “So it’s beneficial for them to continue to do business with the county,” said Robert “Bobby” Cowger, executive director of the Department of Liquor Control, last Friday. The perception of some people is that the county’s prices are 20 percent to 25 percent higher than the wholesalers’ prices, but that is simply untrue, Cowger said. In addition, this particular bar owner would have had to get four deliveries from wholesalers for the 107 bottles of liquor, but the

county took care of it all with just one delivery. Starting July 1, licensees may purchase wine or liquor from wholesalers or continue to purchase it from the Department of Liquor Control or they may purchase wine and liquor from both. County ownership of the former Liquor Control Board went into effect July 1, 2011. Many licensees who were members of the Worcester County Licensed Beverage Association pushed for the end of the Liquor Control Board because they were dissatisfied, primarily with its pricing, which they believed was too high. In most Maryland counties, liquor licensees purchase liquor from wholesalers that buy it from manufacturers. In Worcester County, however, retailers had to purchase liquor from the Liquor Control Board.

At the urging of the Worcester County Licensed Beverage Association, Delegates Mike McDermott and Norman Conway and Sen. Jim Mathias introduced bills to terminate the Liquor Control Board. The General Assembly passed the bill, paving the way for the county to take over its operations and to create the new county Department of Liquor Control. Retailers still buy liquor exclusively from the Department of Liquor Control, but the legislation included a sunset clause enabling retailers to buy directly from wholesalers. As written in that original legislation, the change was slated to start May 1, 2016, but the date was changed to July 1, 2014. Beginning on that day, licensees may purchase wine or liquor from wholesalers or from the Department of Liquor Control or they may purchase wine and liquor from both.

Licensees are required by law to provide written notice of their intent to the Department of Liquor Control at least 60 days before their purchasing activity is to start. The department then issues a letter of confirmation that the licensee meets certain requirements and the licensee must display that letter, along with their alcoholic beverage license, on the licensed premises. One of those written notices of intent to purchase liquor from both the Department of Liquor Control and wholesalers came from Charlene Carr of The Purple Moose, one of the primary proponents of the change in the law. Cowger responded, after consultation with the Worcester County Commissioners, by sending a letter stating that the board elected not to service that account any longer.

July 1, licensees may buy from wholesalers “I’m just giving her what she asked for,” Cowger said Tuesday. “I’m giving her exactly what she wanted. She had said for years that she wanted to get rid of us. So all I did was give her what she asked for.” Carr was the only person to get such a letter, Cowger said. As of last Friday, the department had received written notice from approximately 90 licensees. Since the annual Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association Trade Expo in March, Cowger has met with approximately 136 of 200 licensees to discuss the county’s new position in competing with wholesalers after July 1. The business owners must now subscribe to the Maryland Beverage Journal and so they must learn where the products come from, which takes a considerable amount of time,

Cowger said. To make purchasing easier, he and his staff compiled a wholesale price list, which they broke down by categories. The data shows that the county’s volume discounts available to purchasers are competitive with wholesalers. Additionally, the county’s prices are good through September, but wholesalers can change price monthly. Approximately 80 percent of products being sold to licensees were purchased at a quantity discount, which enables the county to stay competitive with wholesalers. The county is able to have lower prices, Cowger said, “because the county commissioners are really committed to this department so they provided us with funding to buy the inventor in large quantities. That enables us to be competitive with whole-

sale pricing.” The county also has no minimum number of items needed to make a delivery, not does it have an “upcharge” for selling less than a case of bottles. On-line ordering makes the buying easy. Cowger expects the department to do about $1.8 million in business from its Northern Worcester Shore Spirits retail store and wholesale outlet on Route 50 east of Stephen Decatur High School. Licensees may also purchase wine and liquor wholesale from the department’s new store on 16th Street and Philadelphia Avenue. The newly renovated 3,000-squarefoot retail liquor store includes a generous selection of local and other wines. Adjoining the new retail store is the new 1,500-square-foot wholesale operations center, which makes it easy for Ocean City licensees to make

liquor purchases. “This enables licensees in the Ocean City area to be able to pick up product seven days a week. So far, bars are really pleased with it,” Cowger said. Cowger believes the Department of Liquor Control has the best business relationship with the licensees since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. “Since the county takeover of the Department of Liquor Control in 2011, the department has worked effectively to improve the relationships and customer service to the point it ‘s unmatchable by the open market wholesalers,” Cowger said. “We have strived to make the licensees’ pricing and service our No.1 priority. The Department of Liquor Control is still and will always be the only one-stop opportunity for the licensees’ product needs.”

(May 2, 2014) Students in Worcester County and across Maryland received a first-hand look at what education can bring — at least $1 million over a person’s lifetime if they graduate from college — this week. Thanks to a partnership with State Farm and The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation, more than 1,500 students will board The Choice Bus, starting this week at Snow Hill and Pocomoke middle schools. The bus is one of six tools created by The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation to help reduce the dropout rate in the U.S. Since 2008, it has visited more than two million students in 20 states. “The Choice Bus experience allows students to envision two dramatically different futures and sends a powerful message about the value of education. The major focus during the presentation is showing young people what education can do for them and how it’s connected to career choices and lifetime earning potential,” said Sherri Stewart, Executive Director of The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation.

A grant by State Farm brings The Choice Bus to schools, along with Learn2Earn and the InsideOut Toolkit. The foundation created Learn2Earn as a financial literacy curriculum for educators to teach students the importance of understanding budgeting, taxes, credit cards, loans and more. Each InsideOut Toolkit contains a Teacher’s Guide, a Stay in School Pledge Card and the InsideOut documentary, a 26-minute DVD that exposes the real story of the devastating and lasting effects of dropping out of school told by those who live with the consequences every day, prison inmates. The documentary and companion Teacher’s Guide have been used in classrooms and community centers in 49 states and Canada and viewed by an estimated 15 million students, parents and community leaders. “We believe The Choice Bus truly makes a difference in our schools and communities,” said Anna Bryant, State Farm Insurance Public Affairs Specialist. “That’s why we’re proud partners of The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation tools. We know the importance of helping students understand the power of their choices.” State Farm and MCSF have part-

MAY 2, 2014

Cinco de Mayo partygoers asked to act responsibly (May 2, 2014) Cinco de Mayo in the U.S. has become synonymous not only with tacos, sombreros, and piñatas, but also with margaritas, tequila and beer. Since alcohol is such a big part of many Cinco de Mayo festivities, it’s no surprise that drunk driving is especially high on May 5. Ocean City police are urging citizens to designate a sober driver or plan another sober ride home before heading to the bars this Cinco de Mayo. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 233 people were killed in drunk driving crashes on Cinco de Mayo (6 p.m. May 4 to 5:59 a.m. May 6) from 2008 to 2012. In 2012, almost half (45 percent) of all traffic crash fatalities on Cinco de Mayo involved drunk driving. “Some people have this misconception that they can drink a little, and drive safely,” said Chief Ross Buzzuro, “but that’s just not true. Everyone needs to remember that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving, and there’s never an excuse for it.” From 2011 to 2012, the number of people killed in drunk driving crashes on Cinco de Mayo more than doubled. Ocean City police reminds all citizens that plan to celebrate Cinco de

Mayo to designate a sober driver beforehand or call a sober friend to ensure a safe ride home.

Blood bank in need of O neg.

(May 2, 2014) Blood Bank of Delmarva is in immediate need of Type Oblood donors. O- is a universal blood type, which can be safely transfused to any patient in a trauma or emergency situation. “Because it is universal, the O- blood type is always in high demand in our local hospitals,” said Michael Waite, Blood Bank of Delmarva director of marketing and community relations. Blood Bank of Delmarva has four fixed locations—Wilmington, Newark and Dover, Del. and Salisbury–as well as more than 30 regularly scheduled mobile locations. Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are also welcome at the centers. The non-profit organization needs 350 donors a day to meet the needs of the 16 hospitals on Delmarva. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit www.DelmarvaBlood.org, call 1-888-8-BLOOD-8 or download the free app on iPhone or Android.

POLICE/COURTS

Collision with injuries Russell Robert Rowles 52, of Newark, Del., and Donald Wayne Gaskill 50, of Carneys Point, N.J., were traveling through the West Ocean City area on April 26 in order to attend the 2014 Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally being held in Ocean City. Rowles and Gaskill were acquaintances and attending the event together. As they traveled east along Route 50 at about 1:30 p.m., they attempted to make a turn onto southbound Route 611 in order to refuel at a nearby gas station. While making the turn, Gaskill steered his 2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle into the 1999 Harley Davidson driven by Rowles. Subsequently, Rowles lost control of his motorcycle and it went down. He suffered injuries and was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury by ambulance. Gaskill was not apparently injured, but evidence suggested he might have been impaired. Gaskill unsatisfactorily performed standardized field sobriety tests and was arrested. Gaskill was transported to the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack, but he refused to submit to a breath test. He was subsequently charged in connection with the collision and driving under the influence of alcohol.

Heroin A 30-year-old woman and a 48-yearold man, both from Pittsville, were charged April 25 with possession of heroin and possession of heroin with the intent to distribute it. A detective in the Narcotics Unit of the Ocean City Police Department started investigating Clarie Marie Hendrix and Terry Eugene McCoy in December 2013. After learning that they were selling heroin in the Ocean City area, he obtained a search and seizure warrant. On April 25, member of the Narcotics Unit conducted surveillance in the 85th Street area and saw a Pontiac Bonneville pull up to a gas pump. McCoy and Hendrix were inside the vehicle. When McCoy exited the Pontiac as instructed by police, a clear plastic bag fell from his lap. The bag contained 30 clear capsules of heroin, according to the charging document, and both McCoy and Hendrix were arrested. A search of Hendrix’s purse revealed one capsule that contained heroin. When detained, she had been holding a cell phone. That phone contained text messages from a man who wanted capsules. Police also seized $343 in cash from McCoy.

Indecent exposure According to five members of the housekeeping staff of a 17th Street hotel, a male guest exposed himself to them. Ocean City police were called to the hotel, where the manager told them about the incidents. The manager also took an officer to the Oceanside deck where the alleged culprit, James JosephJohn Phillips, 46, of Marcus Hook, Pa., was standing. The officer talked to

Phillips, who denied the allegations. He said he slept naked and had only stood in the doorway to his hotel room. He said he awoke at about 9 a.m. or 9:30 a.m., and had turned on the bathwater when the manager informed him that he was calling police. Phillips told police he continued getting ready and then went to the lobby for breakfast. He then returned to the room to get ready to go golfing with friends. One housekeeper told police she saw Phillips standing naked in the doorway of his way and that he had made a hand gesture for him to go to him. Another housekeeper said she saw him dancing naked in the hallway. She said he shook his hips and genitals at her. Another said she saw him naked in the hallway and he told her he was looking for his newspaper. Another said she saw his naked body when he stuck his head out the door. Phillips was charged with five counts of indecent exposure.

Weather delays continue to slow highway improvements By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Cone-free is the way to be. But possibly not until June, as weather delays have continued to extend a particularly arduous construction season in the resort to its very limit. “We are literally going to be right up until Memorial Day or the week before,” said Charlie Gischlar of the State Highway Administration. The SHA is currently pushing to have 25 median gap locations, mostly in the midtown area, closed up for the summer season. As part of the agency’s ongoing safety improvements to Coastal Highway, it is sealing up the mid-block median

crossings that were incorporated when the road was renovated decades ago. The crossings were intended for pedestrians hauling beach equipment, and were protected from errant traffic by large, wooden posts known as bollards. But as traffic on the highway has intensified, the crossings have become counter-productive. “We’re closing them off and trying to encourage people to use the signalized intersections,” Gischlar said. Given the wet weather and the smorgasbord of other construction to work around, the SHA is working later than expected. But after Memorial Day, the Town of Ocean City limSee WEATHER Page 32

Coastal Highway for most of the winter. That work is winding down and was slated to be done this week. “Installation of the poles and the wire-work is done,” DP&L spokesman Matt Likovich said. “We’re just finishing patching up the curbs and sidewalks.” Elsewhere, the city plans to wrap up the reconstruction of St. Louis Avenue between Third and Tenth Streets possibly by the end of the coming week, Public Works Director Hal Adkins said. This winter was the second phase of renovations on St. Louis, with the third and final stretch on the lower portion of the street slated for next off-season. The SHA was also planning on building additional sidewalk bumpouts for pedestrian crossing on Baltimore Avenue this year, but will be putting the project off due to weather and time constraints. “It’s one thing to push the envelope on the northern end of town, but so many things happen around the inlet and downtown in April and May that we really didn’t want to get into that this year,” Gischlar said. “The town asked us to wait until the fall, and we are.”

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) The city gave its final stamp of approval this week to two events for the 2014 season by promoter and frequent town collaborator Bryan Lilley. The OC Air Show will return for its seventh year on June 14-15, and Lilley’s nonprofit National Air, Sea, and Space Foundation will be bringing in two historic sailing vessels for the entire month of August this year after last year’s successful “tall ship” event. Lilley said he expects considerable resurgence this year in the air show business, after federal sequestration cuts last year eliminated all military performance teams. “I’m very excited about the military being back with us,” Lilley said of the Air Force Thunderbirds, who will be performing for the fourth time in Ocean City this year. “Last year was a very hard year for the industry in general,” Lilley said. “I think the show and the town showed a great deal of resiliency with our ‘allstar, all-civilian’ lineup.” Although federal funding for miliSee TALL Page 34

Inner Ocean handmade soap is a new business run by the Worcester County Development Center, which provides employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. The soaps come in nautical themes and use natural products like local seaweed. Left, Franklin Minor, of Newark, carves a beach-themed insert at the Inner Ocean headquarters at the Worcester County Development Center. The new soap-making business is giving 15 county adults living with intellectual disabilities employment, WCDC Program Director Jack Ferry said.

Where there’s soap, there’s hope Development center clients will launch handmade soap product line at Springfest

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Clients at the Worcester County Development Center began a handmade soap business nearly two months ago and are launching their line at Springfest this weekend. Inner Ocean is providing more then a dozen of the county’s adults living with intellectual disabilities employment and the freedom that comes with it, WCDC Program Director Jack Ferry said. Like any other company, the proceeds go toward paying the workers’ wages, with the remainder reinvested in the business. “Programs like this are so important. Because they’re earning that money, they can decide what they want to do. They become more independent,” he said of the WCDC clients involved in the project. The idea for a soap-making business has long existed in the WCDC, but didn’t come to fruition until a staffer stumbled across the business for sale on Craigslist. The WCDC bought Inner Ocean, keeping the name and getting some training from

the company before branching out on its own. “It was just perfect,” Ferry said. “The process was there for us. We refined it a little bit to make it more accessible for our clients.” He added: “That’s our job: to make them able to work, based on their talents and abilities.” So far, about 15 WCDC clients are taking part in the process, which involves melting glycerin and pouring it into molds; collecting, washing and drying the seaweed that’s used in the natural soap; labeling and packaging the product, which is customizable; and helping with cleanup. “It’s nice because this business is brining work across a lot of our different areas,” Ferry said. The end product is a natural, glycerin-based soap with a clear top, white insert in nautical shapes from crabs and starfish to shorebirds, and a green bottom that’s colored by seaweed. Now that the business is up and running, its products will sell in boutiques around Ocean City, Berlin and Delaware and soon online, Ferry said. The ultimate goal for Inner Ocean is to expand beyond the workspace in the Development Center in Newark and into an “integrated workforce” where WCDC clients work alongside others in the community, he said.

Trays of handmade soap await packaging at the Inner Ocean headquarters.

Events like Springfest make more members of the community aware of the project and “show them the abilities that people with disabilities have,” he said. And when his clients “see that end result, they’re very proud of what they’ve done.” Ferry invited the community to check out Inner Ocean’s launch at Springfest today through Sunday, where Inner Ocean works will be selling their products for $1-$12.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 2, 2014) There is a source of funding for Marylanders looking to purchase a home called the Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP). It is a home loan program that is a safe and secure loan from Maryland’s Housing Finance Agency, and has several important features: • Down payment and closing cost assistance in the form of interest free, deferred loans up to $8500. • A 30-year fixed rate that is competitive with commercial lenders and often lower. • A free/low cost homebuyer education to help you understand what it takes to purchase a home. Their website is located at mmp.maryland.gov and offers information such as current interest rates for each specific loan program, eligibility requirements, and calculators to estimate your payment. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development has state-owned homes for sale through two contracted realty firms (Cummings and Company and Long & Foster). The interest rates for the purchase of these foreclosure homes are very low, and at the time of this article the posted interest rate was 2 percent. Certain conditions may apply to borrowers interested in purchasing these properties. Maryland Mortgage Program also has a Veteran’s Initiative called the Homefront Program for Veterans or Homefront Program for Disabled Veterans. This program is designed for veterans and military families and offers special down payment incentives. Maryland Mortgage Program is offering a Special Low Interest Rate for Targeted Areas (3.625 percent) for borrowers who are purchasing a home in a targeted area. This is a $20 million initiative that ends on May 30 or when funds have been exhausted, whichever comes first. Somerset County is included in this targeted area program.

Track athletes ready for Baysides By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Stephen Decatur girls’ outdoor track team won Tuesday’s 10-school meet at Seahawk Stadium in Berlin, while the boys’ squad finished in second place. “We kind of dialed it down a little bit with the Bayside [Conference championship] meet being Friday, but I thought we did OK, considering the [cold, windy and rainy] conditions,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. The Lady Seahawks scored 166 points in the victory. Holly Grove was a distant runner-up with 57 points and James M. Bennett rounded out the top three teams (50). Decatur athletes who won their individual races were sophomores Emily Cook (100-meter high hurdles, 17.4 seconds), Alison Alvarado (1,600 meters, 6:20.7) and Takia Long (shot put, 26 feet 8.5 inches), junior Meya Chilengi (3,200 meters, 13:39.9) and senior Rebecca Lederman (400 meters, 1:06.5). Alvarado, Chilengi and sophomores Kayla Lorance and Elizabeth Masters took top honors in the 3,200meter relay race (11:35.1). Wicomico won the boys’ competition with 151 points.

their individual races were juniors Parker Harrington (400 meters, 55.6 seconds), Ruben Ortega (300-meter intermediate hurdles, 43.1 seconds) and Jakhai Woodard (long jump, 18 feet .5 inches) and sophomore Hyun Chun (pole vault, 8 feet 6 inches). Woodard, junior John Lambrinos and seniors Tayevon Mills and JJ Purnell crossed the finish line first in the 800-meter relay race (1:37.7). Decatur is set to compete in the Bayside Conference championship meet today, Friday, in Cambridge. “I think a good goal for our boys

would be to be the top team in the Bayside South. The girls should be the top team in the south. I think a good goal for them would be a third-place finish,” Stigler said. “Cambridge will be good competition for our girls and if we finish above them I would be pleased with that. There are a couple people who have the chance to compete for individual championships, so hopefully we have some people who can pull through and win those because it is important to win individual championships to do well in the overall meet.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team pulled out a 13-12 overtime victory over the Archmere Academy Auks last Saturday in Claymont, Del. Sophomore captain Wyatt Richins put Worcester on the board first, but Archmere answered with five consecutive goals. Coach Gates After its zone defense wasn’t working, the Mallards went into a man-to-man defense, Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. Richins netted a second shot in the first quarter to cut the Auks lead to three. The Prep team outscored Archmere 5-2 in the second quarter. At halftime, the score was tied 7-7, and after three quarters, the Mallards led, 10-8. “We were winning 11-8 at one point and I felt good about things, but we let them creep back into it,” Gates said. The Auks gained a 12-11 advantage, but Prep junior Sam Deeley evened it up, 12-12, with 1:24 left in the game. Richins scored in overtime for the Mallards. It is the second time this season he has come up big for Worcester in overtime. He finished the game with seven goals and two assists. Gates said senior goalie Isaiah Nsah “kept us in the game.” He stopped 19 Archmere shots. “It was a great team win. We made a couple nice plays where the whole team was involved,” Gates said. “Hopefully it will catapult us into the rest of the year.” Senior Thomas Buas tallied two goals. Deeley recorded two goals and one assist and senior captain Jack Marshall had one goal and one assist. Two days later, the Prep team traveled to Indian River to face the Indians. The Mallards came home with a 17-6 win, but it took a while for the boys to get into a groove Monday. Indian River scored first, but Worcester tallied three goals to pull ahead 3-1. At the end of the first quarter, the Indians led, 6-4. The Mallards outscored their opponent 3-0 in the second quarter, gaining a 7-6 advantage. The Berlin squad added six goals in the third quarter and held Indian River scoreless. Worcester netted four in the fourth quarter. “We came off Saturday’s win so high, maybe we were still in a fog See AFTER Page 42

Decatur boys’ lacrosse team shuts out Wi-Hi By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team shut out the Wi-Hi Indians, 23-0, on the road Monday. “We controlled the face-offs which gave us offensive possession time, which resulted in good shots and goals,” said Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum. Decatur won 19 of 23 faceoffs. The visiting Seahawks netted 12 shots in the first quarter. The Decatur squad tacked on three in the second

quarter to go into the halftime break on top, 15-0, in Salisbury. The Seahawks scored four in the third quarter and added four in the fourth. All of the Decatur players contributed to the victory. Freshman Steve Alther was the Berlin team’s top producer with four goals and two assists. Senior captain Corey Gwin logged three goals and two assists. Junior Jackson Mumford chipped in with three goals and an assist and Shane Moore, a junior, had one goal

and two assists. Senior Chase Sams and junior Matt LeCompte each scored twice. Eight other players tallied one goal apiece. Decatur junior goalies Will Hastings, a team captain, and Josiah Oswald made two saves each. The Seahawks are scheduled to host the Parkside Rams today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. in Berlin. The senior Seahawks will be recognized during the team’s Senior Night. Decatur needs to win the game for the chance to represent the Bayside

South in next week’s conference championship match. Decatur already beat Parkside once this season. On April 2, the Seahawks trounced the Rams 23-1 in Salisbury. “We are working hard on running a disciplined, patient half-field offense so we control possession time,” Lathroum said. “We have been very good all season with transition offense leading to scores. To be successful later in the season, we need to run a better half-field offense and defense.”

Decatur girls win 7-0; boys come out on top, 4-3

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Stephen Decatur girls’ tennis team easily won Monday’s competition against the Wi-Hi Indians in Berlin. The Lady Seahawks were competing without No. 1 singles players, senior Ashley DePaul, who is on a school trip to Spain and France, so everyone else moved up a position in the line-up. “I thought we played well,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “We’ve had that happen a couple times this year so this isn’t the first time they’ve played up.” Junior Delaney Iacona competed in the first singles spot and won, 8-2. Senior twins Valerie and Charlotte Petsche shut out their second and third singles opponents, 8-0, respectively. Senior Annie James and junior Mallory Rolleston took their fourth and fifth singles matches, 8-1. Wi-Hi forfeited the first and second doubles matches to Decatur’s Claire Esham and partner Brittany Wangel, both juniors, and freshman Kat Harrell See SD Page 43

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse Coach Bob Musitano likes what he sees on the field from the Lady Seahawks as the regular season winds down and playoffs are right around the corner. “The team looks good. We’re starting to peak,” said Decatur Coach Bob Musitano. “They’re doing really well and they’re working as a team. Going into playoffs, it’s important that they click.” Last Friday in Salisbury, the Lady Seahawks displayed their power as the Decatur squad shut out the Wi-Hi Indians, 22-0. Musitano said the Seahawks focused on running their plays, passing and working the ball around. Junior Payton VanKirk led Decatur with four goals. Senior captain Layla Fowler chipped in with three goals and two assists. Erin Florek, a senior captain, tallied two goals and three assists. Freshman Sara Mitrecic stopped two Wi-Hi shots in the first half. Junior Jillian Petito was not challenged in the second half. On Monday in Berlin, the Seahawks scored early and often on their way to a 16-6 victory over the Easton Warriors. Junior Blair Yesko got things started for Decatur, capitalizing off a Florek pass two minutes into the game.

Ally Beck, a junior, put the Seahawks on top 2-0 a minute and a half later. Goals by Yesko, senior Sammi Quilter and Florek (two) boosted Decatur’s advantage to 6-0. Easton netted its first goal at the 13:53 mark in the first half. Yesko logged Decatur’s seventh goal with 9:30 left in the half. Quilter and sophomore Elle Bargar tallied the Seahawks’ last two goals of the half. Petito recorded seven saves in the first half. She finished the game with 11. “She had a monster game,” Musitano said of Petito. Yesko had four goals in the win. Bargar and Quilter contributed with three goals apiece. Florek scored twice and had six of the team’s eight assists. Musitano was pleased with the Seahawks’ transition game. The plays they ran on offense were successful, as the team was able to score off each. Musitano also thought the Decatur defense played well. Decatur is scheduled to travel to Salisbury today, Friday, to battle the Parkside Rams at 4 p.m. If the Seahawks win, they are one step closer to representing the Bayside South in Tuesday’s conference championship game. Decatur already beat Parkside once this season. The Berlin squad won the April 1 match-up, 14-5.

After slow start, Mallards roll on to win 17-6 over IR Continued from Page 40 from that. It seemed like we were still living in the past,” Gates said. “We didn’t have a good first quarter. We played better after that. They realized it was time to start playing this game and they settled down a little.” Nsah stopped 20 Indian River shots. Richins was Worcester’s top producer with seven goals and three assists. “He’s an unbelievable player and he’s a sophomore,” Gates said. “He just plays so hard.”

Gates said Deeley played his best game of the season. He had six goals and an assist. Marshall chipped in with three goals and two assists. Freshman Max Bisaha scooped up eight ground balls and sophomore Ross Dickerson won 17 face-offs. The Gunston Day Herons are scheduled to come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game against Worcester. The senior Mallards will be recognized before the match. Worcester will host the Delmar Wildcats at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Stephen Decatur sophomore Christian Beres returns a hit during his team's match against Wi-Hi Monday in Berlin.

SD coaches see tremendous improvement The Decatur boys’ team didn’t have as easy of a time against Wi-Hi Monday. The Seahawks squeaked out a 4-3 victory. Senior John Niedfeldt battled in his first singles match, winning in a tiebreaker set, 7-3. “He lost that match earlier in the season to the same opponent so he avenged that loss,” said Decatur Coach Steve Berquist. Senior Zach Elmer earned an 8-5 victory at second singles. Sophomore Logan Romberger outscored his third singles opponent, 8-3. Sophomore Christian Beres and freshman Josh Domingo fought hard,

Decatur baseball team takes down two more opponents

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Stephen Decatur baseball team is on an 11-game win streak, after picking up victories over the Wi-Hi Indians and Crisfield Crabbers this week. On Monday, the Seahawks outscored the Indians 15-3 in five innings (slaughter rule). Coach Ferro Despite being a little flat, Decatur Coach Rich Ferro thought the Seahawks hit the ball well. “We need to focus on throwing strikes and banging the zone,” he said. Decatur scored three runs in the top of the second inning. Wi-Hi cut the lead to two in the third inning. The visiting Seahawks answered with five runs in the fourth to pull ahead, 8-1. The home team tallied two runs in the bot-

tom of the fourth, but Decatur closed things out with seven runs in the fifth. Sophomore Lane Dillon and junior Ryan Bennett had three hits apiece. Senior Nick Bennett had two hits, including a double. Junior Justin Meekins chipped in with a double and a home run. Junior Grant Donahue took the mound for two innings. He recorded four strikeouts and walked four Indians. Sean Colgan, a junior, threw three innings. He struck out three, allowed two hits and walked two. The next day, Decatur hosted the Crisfield Crabbers and won, 7-1. The Seahawks scored one in the first, and by the fourth inning, they had built a 6-0 lead. Crisfield tallied its lone run in the top of the fifth inning. Decatur added one in the bottom of the inning and held on for a six-run victory. Nick Bennett pitched the first five See DECATUR Page 44

but fell to their fourth and fifth singles competition, 8-6 and 9-7, respectively. Wi-Hi won the first doubles match, 8-4, but the Indians forfeited the second doubles competition to Decatur’s Tate Socha, a senior, and sophomore Deep Patel.

“I’m really proud of these guys,” Berquist said. “Since these guys were so inexperienced to begin with, there’s been a huge amount of improvement during the season. We’ve beaten everybody we should have beaten…it’s been a pretty satisfying season.”

Sp W rin el gf com es e t2 01 4!

Continued from Page 42 and her teammate, sophomore Catherine Winters. Greenwood said he has seen a tremendous amount of improvement since pre-season began in early March. “We were so young. Girls that are playing one and two singles played doubles last year. They’ve had to grow up rather quickly and I think they’ve done a good job,” Greenwood said. “It’s been a weird year, just with the weather, we’ve had all of our matches in a month. Hopefully, we’ll do well at districts.” The District VIII tournament is scheduled for May 13-14 in Cambridge.

Decatur baseball team eyes spot in Bayside title match

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Stephen Decatur junior first baseman Sean Colgan awaits a throw from senior pitcher Nick Bennett during Tuesday's game against Crisfield in Berlin. Decatur won 7-1.

Continued from Page 43 innings. He struck out seven, allowed one hit and walked two. Offensively, Bennett went 2-for-2. Junior Brooks Holloway took over in the sixth inning and finished the game. He struck out two and walked one in two innings. Meekins went 2-for-2 with 1 RBI. Donahue had one hit and 2 RBIs. Dillon went 2-for-3. “They had some intensity. We hit baseballs well. The biggest thing was to just come out and play hard in the cold weather, and we threw strikes, which is huge,” Ferro said. “We play pretty good defense, we’ve just got to make sure if we throw strikes we’ve got to play defense behind them, but we can’t do

anything about walks.” The Seahawks are set to play the Indian River Indians at 3 p.m. Saturday, at Shorebird Stadium. Decatur is scheduled to wrap up regular-season competition Monday, on the road against Crisfield. If Decatur wins out, they should be the team representing the Bayside South in the May 6 conference championship game. When asked how the team looks at this point in the season, Ferro said, “I think they are getting better. I still think we need to do better things offensively–have a better approach at the plate, not chase pitches, be more selective, hit and move runners over, stuff like that. It’s vital that we do that.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 2, 2014) The Worcester Prep tennis teams not only battled the Cambridge-South Dorchester Viking last Friday, but the Mallards also had to compete against the weather. Prep Coach Keith Coleman said the biggest challenges were the playing conditions. “Not only was the wind gusting, it was constantly changing directions,” he said. Senior captain Chase Schmehling’s second singles match was a back-andforth fight. Trailing 8-7, he held serve to force a tiebreaker set, which he won, 7-4. “The match was filled with rallies that lasted over 15-20 shots by each player as they fought changing wind conditions, with the storm looming in the distance,” Coleman said. “It really was a pretty dramatic scene and all the fans from both teams were surrounding the court…[Alex] Hernandez came into the match undefeated on the season and Schmehling avenged an earlier defeat in Ocean City.” Juniors Kyle Chandler and Erik Zorn outscored their third and fourth

singles opponents, 8-1 and 8-6, respectively. Sophomore Jason Cook took his fifth singles match, 8-3. Sophomore Alex Choy and freshman Nic Moondra won their second doubles contest, 8-1. Worcester’s Chris Choy, a junior, and freshman Zach Wilson were ahead 7-5 in their first doubles match when it was suspended because of rain. The Lady Mallards won, 6-1. Sophomore Sonya Walker (8-4), senior captain Hannah Esham (8-0), sophomore Isabel Carulli (8-2) and junior Fiona Reid (8-1) earned victories at second through fifth singles, respectively. Senior captain Lydia Pritchard and first doubles partner, junior Paige Evans, topped their opponents, 8-1. Cambridge forfeited the second doubles match to Natalie Twilley, a junior, and sophomore Erika Smith. “The girls remained focused throughout…” said Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson. “Hannah had a great match. She has been improving and worked on varying her shots for the match.” Worcester is scheduled to host the Gunston Day Herons, Monday at 4 p.m.

Page 49 Vendors featuring variety of items during Springfest

The 2014 Springfest festival was scheduled to kick off Thursday in the Ocean City inlet parking lot. The 24th annual festival, which includes more than 250 arts and crafts vendors, a variety of food from approximately 30 businesses and music, ranging from country to rock and roll, runs through Sunday evening.

Springfest under way in Ocean City

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) The summer season officially launched yesterday with the opening ceremony at Springfest, Ocean City’s four-day event with food, live entertainment and arts and crafts vendors. Each year, the festival draws tens of thousands under its big-top tents at the inlet parking lot, at the southern tip of the Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk, and the 24th annual event is in full swing. With more than 250 artisan vendors, fare from deep-fried Twinkies to soft shell crabs and a full lineup of free musical acts, it’s the to-do event this weekend. “It’s the springtime kickoff to Ocean City’s summer season at the beach and Boardwalk — an event for the whole family you don’t want to miss,” said Brenda Moore, special event coordinator for the Town of Ocean City. Admission is free to Springfest, except for some headlining musical acts that require tickets. Thousands travel from around the country each year to enjoy the music, wares and fare at Springfest. Last year despite temperatures in the low 50’s, the event drew a crowd of 97,021 and even more came in 2012, when 106,321 guests showed for the four-day event. “We are expecting a great turnout. After such a long, snowy winter, I think

people are ready to kick off the season,” Moore said. More than 250 vendors will be onsite offering everything from jewelry and candles to photography, clothing, pet accessories and many more items. Springfest visitors should also bring their appetites as more than 30 food vendors and gourmet tables will dish up a variety of cuisine, from Eastern Shore crab cakes to North Carolina barbecue, funnel cake, pizza and a variety of ethnic dishes. Children’s activities include inflatables on the beach, a rock-climbing wall, hair wraps, temporary tattoos and sand art. There will be musical performances from country and jazz to dance troupes and a tribute to classic British rock, all free, at Springfest. Visitors can catch the shows starting at 10 a.m. every day through Sunday, with the British Invasion, Sir Rod and Randy Lee Ashcraft & The Saltwater Cowboys lined up, just to name a few of the acts. New this year, Robert Eric’s Tribute to the Piano Man will deliver Billy Joel’s hits to the crowd, closing out Springfest on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are required to the headlining acts, which included a sold-out performance by county music legend Merle Haggard tonight. Haggard has recorded almost 40 No. 1 country music hits and has taken home

Grammy, CMA and ACM awards. On Saturday night, Loverboy and special guest The Reagan Years will rock the crowd starting at 8 p.m. For more than 30 years, Loverboy has been “Working for the Weekend” at shows across the globe, performing hits such as “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” “Hot Girls in Love” and “Turn Me Loose.” Tickets to the show were still available at press time and cost $20-$45. They can be purchased by calling 1800-626-2326, on site at the festival’s ticket booth or through Ticketmaster.com. “Springfest is fun for people of all ages and admission to the four-day event is free,” said Jessica Waters, communications manger for the Town of Ocean City. “Ocean City celebrates the start of the season with the 24th annual production of Springfest.” Parking is limited in downtown Ocean City, so the city will offer shuttle buses to and from the West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50 to Springfest. For more information about the shuttle service, call the Ocean City Transportation Department at 410-723-1606. Springfest runs today and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/springfest or call 800-626-2326.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) More than 250 arts and crafts vendors from across the country are busy serving thousands of customers at the inlet, where Ocean City’s 24th annual Springfest kicked off yesterday and continues through Sunday, May 4. Each year, the festival launches Ocean City’s summer season with four days of food, music and shopping, all free to the public. “It’s lots of fun. The music is great, sales are great, people are great,” said Springfest veteran Merrianne Nichols, who returned for her 22nd year to sell garden flags, braided rugs and outdoor mats at the Nichols Enterprises booth. The Dover, Del., native said the atmosphere at the beach and the selection for shoppers keep visitors coming back by the thousands each year. “The quality of the vendors is always very good. It’s just a festive atmosphere,” she said. Lydia Green, who is returning for her second Springfest this year, agreed the draw is “a combination of the quality of the show and the way it’s run.” Her booth, Vibration Technologies fitness systems, features four machines for festivalgoers to try out. Those who like the product can order one on site and have it delivered to their door, she said. “People like to see things that are unique and different,” and that’s what they’ll find at Springfest, Green said. From jewelry and candles to photography, clothing, pet accessories and more, there are myriad goods to browse across the vendor tables. “If you’ve never been to Springfest, you can really find anything, no matter what your taste,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “There’s really, truly a mix of anything. It offers so much for so many people” Festivalgoers don’t come just for the merchandise, though. Springfest also dishes up dozens of food vendors and gourmet tables each year, bringing fare from Eastern Shore classics like crab cakes to North Carolina barbecue, funnel cake, pizza and a variety of ethnic dishes. “The food is one of my favorite parts of the whole festival,” Waters said. “Most people that come are really looking for that Eastern shore delicacies — the crab cakes and the Boardwalk fries.” But visitors will find a number of See CHIMNEY Page 50

Chimney cakes, as the hollow treats are known, are traditional sweet pastries that come with an array of toppings from sugar and cinnamon to coconut and sprinkles, owner of Chimney Cake Express Tibor David said. He’s bringing his desserts from Laurel, Del., to Springfest for the first time this year. “People love it,” he said of the treat. And with a good weather forecast, Tibor predicts “it’ll be a great event.” “A visitor to town has the opportunity to enjoy the food tent, the entertainment, the whole festival atmosphere, in addition to the beauty of Ocean City itself,” said returning

Merle Haggard, Loverboy to perform this weekend in OC

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Thousands flock to Ocean City each spring for four days of food, arts and crafts vendors and a jam-packed lineup of live entertainment at the resort’s Springfest. The 24th annual event kicked off Thursday and will keep filling the stage with local talent and national acts starting at 10 a.m. every day, now through Sunday. Most performances are free to the public, though several headlining acts require a ticket. “The music just sets the tone for the entire event,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Whether you’re a fan of rock or you’re a fan of country or jazz, it’ll make you want to get out there in front of the stage.” Each year, Springfest draws more than a dozen acts, highlighted by three nights of nationally known talent on the Entertainment Pavilion stage.

Joining them this year is country music legend Merle Haggard, who will play a sold-out show at Springfest tonight. Rolling Stone calls Haggard “one of country music’s most gifted and prolific songwriters,” a symbol of the “American workingman — dignified, downtrodden, and not unlikely to visit the neighborhood bar — of whom he often sings.” With more than 50 years of country music experience, the California-native has nearly 40 No. 1 hits, from his 1968 “The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde” to “That’s the Way Love Goes” and “Pancho and Lefty,” featuring Willie Nelson. Haggard has won Grammy, CMA and AMC awards and is a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. Also headlining this year is 80s rock band Loverboy, taking the stage Saturday night with special guest The See LOVERBOY Page 51

Continued from Page 50 Reagan Years. For more than 30 years, Loverboy has been “Working for the Weekend” at shows across the globe. Singer Mike Reno promised 14 high-energy rock and roll songs at the show, including hits such as “Turn Me Loose,” “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” and “The Kid Is Hot Tonight.” “People really like the hits, so we’re going to play them the hits, and maybe a few new tunes, too,” said Reno, who is releasing a new album with the rest of Loverboy this summer. “It’s a big part of what we do,” he said of playing shows like Springfest. “I love meeting people and I love playing concerts live, so the whole thing is a good vibe for me.” The show starts at 8 p.m. with a performance by The Reagan Years. Tickets were still available at press time for $20-$45 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-626-2326 or on site at the festival’s ticket booth. Springfest’s four-days of food, shopping and music kicked off Thursday, when The Fabulous Hubcaps also took the stage with a lineup of tributes to artists like Buddy Holly, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Other Springfest acts, free to attend, include the Jimmy Charles Band, Bluesman Tom Larsen, Delmarva Big Band, Sir Rod, Randy Lee Ashcraft & The Saltwater Cowboys, “Big Daddy” Stallings & The Bluez Evolution Band, The Morrison Brothers Band and The Groove Train, to name a few among many more. In addition to the music, which starts 10 a.m. each day this weekend, there will be more than 250 arts and crafts vendors selling jewelry, artwork, pet accessories and many more items. More than 30 food and gourmet vendors will dish up a fare from Eastern Shore crab cakes to North Carolina barbecue, funnel cake, pizza and ethnic cuisine, too. There will be children’s activities such as inflatables on the beach and a rock climbing wall. “If you’ve never been to Springfest, you can really find anything, no matter what your taste,” Waters said. “It offers so much for so many people.” Because parking is limited in downtown Ocean City, the city will offer shuttle buses to and from the West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50 for the rest of Springfest.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) The Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation will host its second annual Kentucky Derby fundraiser this Saturday from 3-7 p.m. at Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City. The family-friendly event raises money for the Believe In Tomorrow House By The Sea on 66th Street, which provides critically ill children and their families a much-needed retreat to the beach, away from the everyday stresses of a child’s illness. For $30 — or $10 for children — attendees at the family-friendly affair will enjoy a smorgasbord of food from steamed shrimp to a carving station and can catch the race on a big screen TV. For children, there will be a magic show, games, crafts and a live racehorse on site. Last year, the fundraiser started small, with around 100 attendees raising money for the Children’s House. “The big thing is to make sure everybody has fun, because if they have fun, it’ll keep growing,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is

a good week to look at healing bruised feelings and re-establishing weakened relationships. It’s also a good week to start new projects and make new job-linked contacts.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Music and art dominate the week, giving the sensual Bovine a lot to appreciate. On the practical side, deal firmly, but fairly, with those who might try to undermine your work efforts.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Good feelings continue to flow from your recent efforts to reconnect with family and friends. But be ready to defuse a dispute before it can disrupt all that peace and harmony. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A practical view of a romanticized situation could help to clarify some of its more confusing aspects before you make a decision that could be tough to undo later on.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Pay more attention to what a recent spate of workplace criticism might say about your performance and not what you think it implies about you personally. Some flexibility might be called for.

With new information, and new promises of support (not to mention growing self-confidence), this could be a good time to restart a project you couldn’t quite handle before.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Before you decide to close down a

problem-loaded project and make a fresh start with someone else, try once more to reach a compromise with your balky partner. He or she might surprise you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While you continue earning

points for your sharp negotiating skills, be alert for an attempt to undercut your efforts. You’ll need to provide solid facts and figures to stay in the game.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A minor health problem

might cause you to ease up on your usually busy schedule. But you’ll soon be back in the saddle and ready to pick up the reins and charge ahead.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The adventurous Sea Goat

might be eager to take on a new challenge. But before you do, you might want to take some time to check out previously overlooked factors.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A feeling of being overwhelmed

by all that you have to do can be eased by setting priorities. Deal with the most urgent and time-sensitive situations first, and then work down the line. Creating a calm, peaceful place for yourself in the middle of a roiling emotional whirlpool this week starts when you, and no one else, decide how to make decisions about your life.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

BORN THIS WEEK: Your determination to stick with your principles wins the admiration of everyone who knows you.

Ocean City’s 8th annual spring Restaurant Week begins May 4

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) Close to 20 resort restaurants will offer up $10, $20, $30 and $40 deals starting Sunday, part of Ocean City’s eighth annual spring Restaurant Week. Participating businesses will feature a special, fixed-price menu during the twoweek event, which runs through Sunday, May 18. “It’s a win-win for diners and the restaurants,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “The whole premise of the promotion is to encourage diners to go out at a time that’s not too busy around here to stir up business, and at the same time, provide diners with deals.” Restaurant Week helps “bring in new faces and show them what we’re all about,” said Executive Chef Travis Wright, of West Ocean City’s Shark on the Harbor restaurant. For him, that’s bringing in local produce and off-the-dock seafood to inspire an ever-changing menu. Sunday through Thursday during dinner, diners came come to Shark on the Harbor for a “three-for-30” Restaurant Week special, where they get three courses for $30. Though the menu shifts based on the day’s catch, spring is soft crab and scallop season. Diners can also expect to see spring peas, leafy greens and asparagus, Wright said.

He’s participated in Restaurant Week since its beginnings and said, “It’s always a good chance to see our loyal regulars and hopefully a few new faces.” The Hobbit on 81st Street will also offer a three-for-30 dinner menu every night featuring its most popular dishes, plus a few new items. “They’re dishes that we’ve really perfected and people really enjoy,” General Manager Garvey Heiderman said. “It’s a good chance for people to come get a deal, get a full belly, and try some new food.” The Hobbit has offered a Restaurant Week menu ever spring for the last four years and the even draws new faces each year, Heirderman said. “It’s something that gets people in who wouldn’t normally come in,” he said. “It gets a lot of people out and about before the season really kicks off” Restaurant Week is “most definitely” a boost to business in the early stretch of the summer season, Jones said. “Typically the restaurants that create the most interesting menus are the ones who do the best — and the ones who offer the best deals,” she said. Newcomer to Restaurant Week this year, Ky West on 54th Street designed an all-new menu for the two-week special, Executive Chef Michael Rendell said.

Restaurant Week runs May 4-18 “We try and get a broad range of menu items that we think people will be interested in, as well as try out new dishes,” Owner of the café Rick Vach said. “It’s a big help to business, absolutely,” he said of the two-week special. The café will offer a $10, two-course lunch menu and a $30, three-course dinner menu Sunday through Thursday throughout the event. Chef and Owner of Jules Restaurant on 118th Street Adam Sander has been taking part in Restaurant Week since its inception and creates a special menu for the event each year. This year, the three-for-30 dinner menu includes appetizers like “Almond Joy” shrimp encrusted in toasted almonds and topped with a coconut cream sauce and New Zealand lamb pops and entrees such as shrimp scamp, fillet mignon and crab cakes.

Continued from Page 55 Wednesday through Sunday, diners can choose from four appetizers, four entrees and a slew of desserts. Tantalizing options include jerk Jamaican kebabs with tropical risotto topped with a mango-banana-pineapple sauce to mesquite grilled flank steak and grille chicken primavera in a white wine sauce over pasta. “I do totally different stuff that’s not on the menu,” Rendell said. “We’re new this year and we’re trying to get the exposure, get some people out here.” Longboard Café, in the 67th Street mid-town center, is back again for Restaurant Week, with mouthwatering appetizers like grilled lamp chop lollipops and crab-stuffed artichoke bottoms alongside entrées including its seafood pasta, a blend of seared shrimp, scallops and lump crab in an avocado cream sauce.

“It’s a pretty special menu that includes some classics,” Sander said. Jules will offer the Restaurant Week menu every night, with a “bonus bite” for early birds, who will get a complimentary glass of wine with their meals if they are seated before 6 p.m. “Its one of the best weeks of the year,” Sander said. “We love it. We’ve been proud to help support them since the beginning.” Restaurants will still have their regular menus during Restaurant Week for those who don’t want to order off the special menu. Diners should note that alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in the fixed-price deals.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Pesto best served on crusty bread, crackers

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 2, 2014) When one pursues perfection, consider the examination of the “question” versus the “answer.” Perceiving a problem brings about the unknown which is the basis for achieving knowledge. Reasoning is subjective and redefines the attainment of success. Perseverance is the key ingredient that distinguishes one chef from another. Genoa is the capital of the region of Liguria and is known for its historical contributions to the field of gastronomy. The traditional Mediterranean style of cooking is based on simple ingredients. These by themselves seem insignificant. However, when combined to accentuate each individual ingredient; the final result is a symphony of unsurpassed flavors. Pesto, the pride of Genoa, is a thick sauce that pairs beautifully with pasta or fish and does not require cooking. The basic ingredients are olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pine nuts. Convention is the root of the past, but innovation is the source for the future. Deconstruction is the starting point for modernization. A new version of pesto is my mission. Finding a replacement for the basil and pine nuts and remaining true to the cuisine of northwest Italy is my purpose intended. Genoa has been Italy’s major seaport,

assembling more wealth even if Venice has gathered more glory. Anchovies flourish and are a staple along the Ligurian coast. It is very common to see six or more types of fresh anchovies proudly displayed in the public markets. In the Mediterranean, people shop for anchovies with the same scrutiny as Americans pick through the produce section. Why do Americans have such a dismal attitude towards anchovies? The simple fact is that most Americans have never had the opportunity to taste anchovies in their natural state. The extremely salty version that comes in a tin can is not a fair representation of the family of engraulidae. The excessive amounts of salt are used either to compensate for lack of flavor or to ensure long shelf life in marginal products. That being said, very good quality anchovies preserved in olive oil are available. The best will be basically free of dark spots (bruises) and bones (hand removed). Agostino Recca (jar) of anchovies is delectable and can be purchased online. They are pricy, but worth the expense when entertaining for a special occasion. A few fascinating facts about anchovies. The anchovy fishing period is

from March to September. The best bait to lure them to the surface is crab paste. One of the most popular Spanish tapas are Boquerón’s; uncooked anchovy fillets are marinated in salt and vinegar and seasoned with parsley and garlic. If one is a movie buff and adore anchovies, continue on for intriguing trivia. The suicidal deaths of seagulls that inspired Hitchcock’s “The Birds” was caused by a toxin called domoic acid. According to an article, “Mystery Behind Hitchcock’s Bird’s Is Solved At Last,” scientists at Louisiana State University claim to have discovered why thousands of seagulls began killing themselves along the coast of California in the summer of 1961. The researchers discovered unusual quantities of nerve damaging toxins that most likely came from anchovies and squid that was part of the birds’ natural diet. The high level of toxins can cause brain damage and even death. Confusion still reigns about what generated the toxins to be present in seawater in the first place. The usual culprit would be pesticides from farmland. But there was a house-building boom in the area at the time, and experts wonder if leaky domestic septic tanks were to blame. The small, silver fish have been cherished around the world for thousands of years. Replacing the customary pine

nuts with chopped almonds enhances the pesto with texture. Artichokes adds freshness and lightness to the pungent anchovies and garlic. Anchovy-artichoke pesto is delicious served on crusty bread or crackers. Anchovy-artichoke pesto is also a great addition to an antipasto platter. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 2-ounce can of anchovies 2 cloves garlic ¾ cup diced (½-inch) multi-grain baguette (dried for two days) ¼ cup Parmesan cheese 3 splashes fresh lemon juice ¼ cup whole, roasted almonds 12-ounce jar of marinated artichokes, drained 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 rounded teaspoon flat leaf parsley, finely chopped 1. Place all of the contents in a food processor except for the artichokes and almonds. Puree until smooth. Add the artichokes and almonds, pulse until you get a rough chop. This gives the pesto texture. 2. Refrigerate for two hours. 3. Serve on crusty bread or crackers. Yields - two cups Secret Ingredient - Perseverance. “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” – Albert Einstein

Kemp misses performing with OC Rockettes

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (May 2, 2014) Even Mother Nature has her optical, confusional delusions. What’s with the March winds in April? Lord only knows what is coming our way in May. Guess folks have already forgotten the 100-pound, 5foot bunny that hung around in Caine Woods during the Easter holidays. Rumors are that it’s the same rabbit

that the OC’s finest picked up about 20 years ago disguised as rabid fox. Oh yeah folks, back in the 1900s he won the Elks best Halloween costume contest at the Montego Bay shopping center year after year. My generation encountered many a wolf in our little

seaside city back in the olden days. Springfest this weekend popped up with little or no warning. Oh how I miss performing in the shows with the Ocean City Rockettes. Our choreographer, director and dance teacher, the one and only ever so talented, Rita Villani, was a former member of “oh so famous” Broadway Rockettes. Our group spent many an hour practicing and enjoying fun times at the MAC

Center. Keep in mind folks, if you don’t use the government provided places to hang out we will lose them. Beats hanging around on the street corners, big time. Many happy returns go out to late April birthday kids, Joe O’Neill, Mary Watson, George Saur, Kath Ebel, Steve Hales, Jim Mooney, Terri Austin, Joan DeMarco and Millie See SKIP Page 60

Consider yourself lucky, not older, if I repeat myself these days. It’s getting to be a habit. A funny thing happened to me last week. I was in denial when the gal next to me at High Stakes told me just as I was leaving that I had my shirt on inside out I, specifically pointed out the white flowers on the material. Two hours later, at home, I happened

to notice that she was right. Mea culpa kid, but I have to tell you, when I asked a 4-year-old recently why he had his shirt on inside out he told me “cuz’ the other kids think it’s really cool.� Outta’ the mouth of babes comes a lotta’ wise decisions. Do I wanna’ be cool or sloppy? What do you think? Congratulations to OC Today on their 21st anniversary this month. I’ve been with them from Day 1.

Berlin’s seventh annual Jazz and Blues Bash set for Sat. By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 2, 2014) America’s Coolest Small Town is offering up a taste of New Orleans with six bands on two stages, local artwork and plenty of festive food and drinks. The 7th annual Jazz and Blues Bash runs from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. Old Baltimore Speedway, Bryan Russo & the Tragic Figures, The Larks, Chris English, The Shrapnels and Lower Case Blues will play the festival. “It’s a good mix – more of a New Orleans-style mix than we had before,� said Tom Sholtis, president of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. “In years past we had a lot of high schools and things like that come

through, but these are all live, upscale bands.� Sholtis said the lineup is meant to appeal to a mass audience. “With the nomination as America’s Coolest Small Town bringing in such a wide variety of people we can’t just have a bunch of steel guitar players – it’s great music, but you’ve got to keep a good variety,� he said. “These guys should cover the genre in more of a party style. We want it to be more fun and upbeat because that’s what Berlin is all about.� Arts and crafts and Eastern Shorestyle food, including barbeque, will be sold by vendors set up in the downtown area, and Burley Oak Brewing Company will provide a beer garden. On Friday, Victorian Charm will See BERLIN Page 61

Berlin festival to feature six bands, art, crafts and food Continued from Page 60 host a 20th anniversary celebration with live music by local saxophone player Everett Spells from 6-9 p.m. Commerce Street will be closed to accommodate the event. “We’ll be having different kinds of promotional things here in the store – all kinds of specials and prizes and giveaways and lots of discounts,” said co-owner Steve Frene. Local eateries including Si’culi and Cupcakes in Bloom will offer a “Taste of Berlin” as part of the celebration. Frene hopes his party helps grow the Jazz and Blues Bash into a twoday event. “We’d really like to see it go in that direction,” he said. “We’re almost scared to have too good of a turnout because it’s going to be a store event – we don’t want to manage 1,000 people outside. That’s always the challenge with the events.” “We know what the town is and now it’s our time to shine and let everybody else see what Berlin has to offer,” Sholtis said. “Between this and Fiddler’s and May Day Play Day coming up, we try to have music for everybody at these events. We try to keep the blues and jazz wide enough that it has a little something for everyone; the genre is so wide that we wanted to be able to offer all of it to everybody.”

$2 billion nationwide to benefit children since 1970 (May 2, 2014) More than 300 people are expected to participate in the March for Babies walk at Assateague State Park Saturday.

OC Community Health Fair set for May 6; open to all

By Donald Putnam Intern (May 2, 2014) AARP Chapter 1917, Atlantic General Hospital and the Town of Ocean City have come together to present the 28th annual Ocean City Community Health Fair, set to take place Tuesday, May 6 from 7 a.m. to noon at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. More than 90 vendors and Atlantic General Hospital staff will be in attendance to provide information and health screenings for participants. There is no cost to attend the fair, which is open to anyone age 12 and older. AGH will be providing the equipment to perform health screenings for blood glucose, lipid panel, hearing, bone density, lung function, spine, carotid artery and skin cancer, among others.

ALOC May exhibits open with reception at art center, Fri.

A watercolor painting “Bountiful Light” by Anne Hanna of the Baltimore Watercolor Society.

(May 2, 2014) Join the Art League of Ocean City Friday, May 2, from 57 p.m. at the OC Center for the Arts on 94th Street for the opening reception of the May exhibits. Refreshments will be served and admission is free. Guest artists from the Baltimore Watercolor Society will be featured in the Thaler Gallery. The Baltimore Watercolor Society was founded in 1885 and is the third-oldest organization in the country focusing exclusively on the use of watercolor as a means of painting. Since 1885, the society has worked to encourage and promote professional excellence in the creation and development of original works of art, executed in aqueous media, and to offer water-

color artists opportunities to exhibit their work and develop professionally. Featured in the Galleria will be the “Views of the Eastern Shore” themed exhibit. Art League members and local artists will show their interpretations of the Eastern Shore in this all media 2D judged show. Local artist David O. Bunting will be the judge of the exhibit. Teri Edgeworth will be the artist in residence during the month of May. Edgeworth, an artist born and raised in Lancaster County, worked for years in a studio in her home. Encouraged by the love and support of her family and friends, especially her late grandmother and mother in law, she began showing her art publicly 10 years ago in many venues in and around Lancaster, and has expanded her range into Ocean City and its surrounding towns. Her vision for her work is that each viewer can recall a wonderful moment in time, with a sense of relaxation. And her most recent works are to raise an awareness of the bays and oceans and how we should all do our part to take care of them. The Members’ Spotlight Gallery will highlight the work of artist, Paige Ruby. Ruby is primarily a watercolor artist who paints local marine scenes, landscapes, florals, abstract and mixed media pieces. Her work is painterly and realistic, but invites the viewer to define the details. She uses watercolor inks which are very intense and brilliant in color, in some of her more non-traditional work. She is a signature artist with Delaware Watercolor Society and has been accepted in many juried exhibits, won many ribbons and done commissioned pieces. The Ocean City Center for the Arts is run by the Art League of Ocean City, which is a nonprofit 501c3 organization. The galleries are open daily 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call the ALOC at 410-524-9433 for more information or visit www.artleagueofoceancity.org.

Funds raised during ‘Reverse Fashion Show’ go to network By Donald Putnam Intern (May 2, 2014) When thinking of a fundraiser to support a good cause, the Rite Aid of Ocean City takes the crown for creativity with a different way of raising money. Friday, May 2, at Peaky’s Restaurant and Bar, located on the top floor of the Fenwick Inn on 138th Street, the male management team of Rite Aid and husbands of Rite Aid employees will be participating in a “Reverse Fashion Show” to support the Children’s Miracle Network. The Children’s Miracle Network is a national organization devoted to providing aid to the families of sick children. Money raised through this organization goes toward medical research, equipment costs and assistance with paying medical bills. Rite Aid has been the network’s biggest fundraising partner since 1994.

“It’s a great organization. The cause couldn’t be any better. Unfortunate things happen and it’s great to have something like this next to you in the event of your child getting sick,” said Ashley Anderson, organizer of the fashion show. Anderson is also an employee at the 114th Street Rite Aid in Ocean City. The festivities begin at 6 p.m. when the men will zip up their dresses and throw on their heels for a night of laughs and games. In addition to the show, there will also be a poker tournament and raffles for prizes such as hotel packages, golf passes and gift certificates to Ocean City businesses. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $20. Half of each ticket price will be directly donated to the Children’s Miracle Network. For further information, contact Elizabeth Bishop of Rite Aid at 302519-2561.

Challenge kicks off May 19 (May 2, 2014) Blood Bank of Delmarva will present the 12th annual Summer Blood Challenge from May 19 to Sept. 13. The deadline for companies and organizations to register to participate is Tuesday, May 6.

Alliance to host walk in OC park

(May 2, 2014) The Tri-County Diabetes Alliance will sponsor a free 1-mile “fun” walk Saturday, May 3, at Northside Park on 125th Street in Ocean City. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 9 a.m. Following the walk, participants are encouraged to visit community and health exhibits to learn more about healthy eating, physical activity, diabetes prevention and management. The Tri-County Diabetes Alliance focuses on diabetes prevention and diabetes self management education in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties. Diabetes is a serious health problem in the United States with more than 24 million people having the disease and an estimated 57 million more at risk for developing the condition. Individuals can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes through adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors. Participation in regular physical activity has many benefits including reducing the risk of developing chronic health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. It also helps with weight loss and/or maintenance of a healthy body weight, bone health, strength, and flexibility. For more information about the walk, call 410-632-0056 or visit www.tridiabetes.org.

OUR OPINION

More than ready for Springfest

Springfest 2014, Ocean City’s kick off of the summer season has opened. And already, the four-day event is expected to attract tens of thousands of resort visitors. After the winter we’ve all experienced, it seems like Springfest couldn’t come soon enough. This is the 24th version of Springfest. This year more than 250 artisan vendors, and food ranging from deep fried Twinkies to soft shell crabs are there for the consumer. Of course, the music is what draws so many. This year they won’t be disappointed as music legend Merle Haggard headlines Friday night’s performances. We just want to say welcome to everyone arriving for this harbinger of summer. And we also want to remind yeararound residents what they already know, all of a sudden our town of 7,000 is going to grow dramatically, and probably won’t settle back down till way into autumn. With that comes more noise, more traffic, but also more needed dollars for our city and Worcester County. For our visitors, we welcome you and want you to have the time of your lives. At the same time, please be cognizant that while you will be going home after a few days, there are many here who are already home. Ocean City event planners have put a great deal of time and effort to make Springfest 2014 a great success. We know already that it can’t miss. Have fun, be careful, and we’ll see you down at Springfest. On a completely different note, we feel that the entire county should be proud that its two robotics teams, Worcester Beach Bots and TitaniumWrecks faired very well against teams from around the globe at last week’s Worlds in St. Louis. The teams were facing squads from as far away as the Netherlands and Israel. Both squads tournament information can be found in this week’s edition. Beach Bots, T-Wrecks, we are very proud of all of you.

THE PUBLIC EYE By Stewart Dobson

Why short jail term saved her EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK By

I received this email last Phil week in response to our sister Jacobs publication Ocean City Today’s special report on heroin addiction. Find it at OceanCityToday.net and look for “From high school to heroin.” “My name is Jayna Griffith, and on October 19, 2012, I was involved in the heroin bust of 1,700 bags with Leck Lyons. Your recent (Ocean City Today, April 18) article about the devastation to our community and our young ones by this pernicious drug was very touching and hit particularly close to home. Just one thing that bothered me quite a bit. It says, “there is no cure for heroin addiction”. I would just like to say, that I am living proof that is a false statement. Not only is it false, but it gives every heroin addict out there now, NO HOPE!!!! Addicts already feel bad about themselves enough-it would be nice if they can SEE the light at the end of the tunnel. By this article, they cannot and that is very discouraging. The county has helped in every way possible. I am currently participating in their adult drug court and I have to say, they saved my life. Jail and drug court has done more for me than I could have ever imagined. The cure to heroin addiction is- YOU HAVE TO WANT IT!!!! Ms. Griffith and her friend Krystyna Strobe visited the Ocean City Today/Bayside Gazette offices on Monday. Jayna, 28, said that at least for her, jail time and drug court not only has helped her stay clean, but almost certainly she feels saved her life. She says with a smile that she’s putting much of her energy into working out at an area gym where she’s also employed as an assistant manager. Her goal is to become a personal trainer in the future. All of this from a young woman who spent eight horrific days in the medical cell of the county jail, sick and scratching her face as her

body rebelled against the fact that in this jail, there was no heroin around to medicate it. She told me that the last thing in her life she could ever imagine growing up in Louisville, Ky., was that she’d become a heroin addict and end up in jail. “My withdrawal in jail were the worst days of my life.” Now she’s been away from heroin for so long that she feels better than she ever felt while on heroin. “It took jail to teach me that these decisions are all up to me,” she said. “And that’s why that time in jail for an addict can be time well spent. I never will allow this to happen to me again. I’m just thankful that I am alive.” She and Krystyna, best friends, encourage one another, and keep an eye on each other. Krystyna has for three years been a server at an area restaurant. She’s been clean for going on a year, and she said her outlook is positive. It’s hope that she wanted to really discuss. In jail, where she met some of the “realist people she’s ever known who didn’t judge me,” she learned how to have hope for a better, productive life. She freely admitted during our interview that staying clean is difficult.. “Recovery,” said Krystyna, who has stayed away from arrests and jail time, “doesn’t happen over night.” Jayna said that the county’s drug court, which administers regular urinalysis drug screening, but also counseling has been so helpful to her that she’s actually not looking forward to the day she “graduates.” She said she will miss the people and the counseling. Jayna and Krystyna said they have another motivation for staying clean. They have known or heard about users who have died from an overdose. “They are dropping like flies,” said Krystyna. “This is not supposed to be my life,” said Jayna. “Never in a million years was I supposed See JAIL Page 94

To: State of Maryland From: S. Dobson Re: Tax credit requested Two weeks ago, you gave an $11.5 million tax credit to the Netflix show “House of Cards” to keep the filming of that program in this state. Whoever is in charge up there apparently figured this was a good deal because the production had created 3,700 jobs and so the state should pay $3,108.11 per job. This is a super idea, although I wish I had known about it sooner, since we have 24 jobs, which comes to $74,594.59 that you will pay or else. I’m not kidding. We’re thinking about packing up and moving to Los Angeles or something, once we iron out a few obvious local delivery issues. The thing is, a job is a job in my book, so I don’t see the difference between paying $3,108.11 to keep a “key grip” working here and paying the same thing for a reporter, whose title at least explains exactly what he or she does. For all I know, a key grip is shaking the right hand to get a sweet deal like this. I understand that glamorous businesses (and sports franchises) are fun to subsidize because you probably get good seats or autographs, whereas the only time you ask for my autograph is when you want my check for the tax bill that, I only now realize, I do not owe. So please remit your check to me as soon as possible, as I need to go out this weekend and stimulate the economy. Thank you. P.S. A friend who owns a deli here has a scale that must be calibrated annually by the state. I think it costs him $20. But he also is charged something called a “location fee” of $50. What he and I want to know is if this fee is actually a tax or do the people who calibrate his scale really not know where he is until he pays them? Besides, you owe him $12,432.43. I’m just saying.

Jail became a local woman’s cure Continued from Page 93 to be in jail.” When she was in the early phases of recovery, the craving, she said was so bad that she found her hand involuntarily going into the motion as if it was injecting a needle. The rehabilitation services through Drug Court are “teaching me how to live,” said Jayna. And most importantly, she said, “they don’t treat me like a drug addict.” Jayna said she is reaching a point where she is no longer afraid of herself using again. You start using one bag that leads to the second bag, she said. “The cure is not to use that first bag,” she said, “and that comes from inside of you.”

Lastly, though, she said something that defined it all. “I own my addiction,” she said. She’s in charge of herself. And that approach to life, she said, came from the hope she began to understand through drug court and even after four months and one week in jail. For her, and she said for others, jail works. “I do not want to come across as if jail is the only option, because it is not,” said Jayna. “Now if you are too ashamed or too careless or just too scared to grapple with the addiction, then yes, jail is a good reality check. I am a firm believer in every heroin addict does need jail because of what it did for me. But, at the same time, I do not want addicts to

think ‘I guess I should keep using until I get in trouble.’ There are ways to be proactive with the addiction. Reaching out to people who you trust and who love you, keeping yourself occupied. Having responsibility will make you feel so good about yourself. There are places you can go, that are waiting there with open arms to tackle your demons with you. Instead of playing victim to heroin, stand up against it and take your life back. Getting clean is so scary at first, and may seem impossible, but embrace that feeling because it is that feeling that will get you through the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. And when it is all over, you will see that a warrior has evolved. There is hope, but you have to want it.”

OCPD warns against unrestrained riding (May 2, 2014) As warm weather approaches, the Ocean City Police Department is reminding citizens of the recent legislative changes prohibiting passengers from riding unrestrained in the beds of pick-up trucks on Ocean City roadways. In January, the Mayor and City Council voted this change into effect to enhance public safety and prevent serious injuries that could result from riding unrestrained in an unenclosed area of motor vehicles. A violation of

this ordinance could result in a fine of up to $250. Ocean City citizens are reminded that the new ordinance falls under the town code “Seat Belts” division and reads that “a person may not ride or allow another person to ride in the unenclosed area of a motor vehicle except in a seat and with a seat belt in use.” “This is another step we are taking to make Ocean City roadways safer,” said Chief Ross Buzzuro. “In 2013, Ocean City experienced 504 reportable

traffic collisions. If one collision involved a pickup truck that was full of unsecured passengers, it could be tragic. This new ordinance will prevent that.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seatbelts saved an estimated 12,174 lives nationwide in 2012. The NHTSA also says that seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle collisions.
