Liquor at Bikefest gets dry response Beer, wine allowed, but council sees no point in cocktails too
BRIAN GILLILAND/OCEAN CITY TODAY
COMING AT YOU Andrew Tynikov from Russia, won the People’s Choice award during the 47th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition, held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street, last weekend.
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) After a discussion on where alcohol fits into city-sanctioned events, Ocean City officials on Monday rejected a proposal to sell liquor at a OC Bikefest event this fall. Bikefest organizer Kathy Michael had applied for a memorandum of understanding with the city, agreeing that event promoter OC JAMS would pay $86,900 to use the inlet lot and the convention center on 40th Street for Sept. 14 -17. She also asked about the possibility of adding liquor sales to the event, which already has permission to offer beer and wine. In the past six years, the motorcycle event has been funded through Tourism Advisory Board (TAB), which provides seed money to get new events running. Bikefest has traditionally been met anxiously by the past councils, based on the perception that it attracts a rougher element to the resort. In 2016, the council approved $10,000 to defray costs for a final time.
That year was the most successful Bikefest so far, drawing around 175,000 people. Councilman John Gehrig, who was a strong advocate for Bikefest during his tenure on TAB, supported allowing liquor sales at Bikefest events and received backing from It’s about the Councilman D e n n i s fact we’re a family town Dare.

Wayne “I have Hartman concerns with crossing that line to allow liquor. It’s not this individual promoter, it’s about the fact we’re a family town and there is plenty of availability of liquor already,” he said. “To add liquor is setting us up for potential problems. We’re a family town.” Hartman also maintained that liquor could increase the public’s discomfort. “With the number of bikes in town that weekend, it’s already intimidating for a lot of See COUNCIL Page 5
OC awaits county’s next move on tax differential With $50,000 set aside in war chest, resort City Council seek legal remedies
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Ocean City officials are prepared to resume fighting for tax differential, but they say they’re waiting to see what the Worcester County Commissioner will do next before taking the matter to court. “We’re in a holding pattern,” City Manager Doug Miller said. “We’re want to see what the commissioners do in their budget in terms of reimbursing us.”
Since 1999, the City Council has asked for a lower tax rate for Ocean City property owners. Their argument is that resort taxpayers pay for county services — emergency services, for instance — they don’t use because the city offers them as well. Earlier this year, the City Council voted to start exploring legal options to force the county to grant a differential. Elected officials have been quiet on a possible lawsuit since. There is $50,000 included for tax differential in Ocean City’s budget of legal expenses for fiscal year 2018. But Miller said there’s still time for the dispute to end amicably if the county increased its grant funding. “We’re waiting to see if they’re going to send $3 mil-
lion or if they’re going to send $7 million in grants this year, like the tax study said,” he said. Worcester County officials commissioned a tax study in 2016, which showed that Ocean City is paying $7.8 million in duplicated services. This also bolstered Ocean City’s argument, as officials had a tax study revised in 2013 that claimed there was $17 million in duplicated services. Resort officials were hopeful that the door for further discussion was opened. Instead, it slammed shut in January when the commissioners voted 6-1 to continue using annual grants to compensate the municipality. Worcester County provides municipalities and Ocean See CITY Page 7

Council shoots down request for safety, business concerns Continued from Page 1 people,” he said. “I just think we’d be putting people in harm’s way that isn’t necessary.” Council Secretary Mary Knight also had issues with the request and how it would affect businesses during those four days. “You have a self-contained event now with food, beer and wine, entertainment and liquor. Hopefully, they’re staying in Ocean City hotels but maybe they’re not,” she said. Addressing these concerns, Gehrig said that denying this request would not change Ocean City’s family-friendly image. “It seems like this is just fear and a lot of speculation there are potential problems with putting people in harm’s way,” he said. “If you go to a Mexican restaurant and have tacos and a margarita, are you okay with that? As far as the business community, this event brings a lot of people to town and they make a conscious effort to enjoy our businesses.” He continued to push OC Bikefest as a possible trial run for liquor sales at city-sponsored events, citing the good ties between the promoter and the resort. “We’re essentially saying that bikers are out of control and we know what’s best for them,” Gehrig said. “I don’t know how we’re holier than thou, but every year when Bikefest comes before us, it seems like somehow we have to protect the community. I believe this event is responsible.” In his rebuttal, Hartman asked what would be gained by allowing distilled spirits to be sold at the event. “I certainly hope they’re coming here for all Ocean City has to offer. What’s the advantage to the town in bringing these people in if they’re not going to support the other businesses in town?” he said. Gehrig said the point was to offer another service to attendees and that it was
presumptuous to assume allowing liquor at Bikefest would be like adding gasoline to a fire. “Do any of us like to have a mixed drink once in a while? Do we get wild and out of control and beat our kids and become irresponsible?” he said. “We can’t assume that a legal beverage is going to make people crazy and go nuts. These are just regular people who happen to like to ride motorcycles and enjoy live entertainment and have a good time. “If we can’t identify the problems, then we shouldn’t be the adults in the room for the people who come here to enjoy Ocean City,” Gehrig added. Hartman attempted to sum up his argument by saying that there were enough opportunities on the resort for someone to find a bar. “I don’t think it [alcohol] needs to be everywhere all the time,” Hartman said. “If somebody asks, you can point them to a business that offers it.” Despite Gehrig’s arguments, his motion to approve liquor beverages for Bikefest was rejected 5-2, with Hartman, Knight, Council President Lloyd Martin, Councilmen Tony DeLuca and Matt James in opposition. The memorandum with Bikefest organizers passed 6-1, with Gehrig opposed.

City to discuss strategy, May 30 Continued from Page 1 Pines financial support through an annual unrestricted grant, instead of funding based on proportions of tax revenues. Ocean City received $3.1 million in grants in the current fiscal year. The resort paid $69.3 million of the county’s $182 million budget in property taxes in fiscal year 2016. Mayor Rick Meehan formally requested a 4.75 percent increase in the county’s grant this year in March. The total requested of the commissioners, including funding for other projects included $3.3 million. “There two ways we can handle this and increasing grant funding is one of them,” Miller said. “The other way is the differential – where Worcester County residents pay a little more on their prop-
erty taxes.” Under Worcester County’s study, which used the FY15 tax rate of 77 cents per $100 assessed value, Ocean City residents would see their rate drop roughly 3 cents. In return, county residents would have to pay a nickel more in property taxes, raising their rate to 82 cents in this example. But since the county commissioners are proposing raising the taxes to 86.7 cents this year to fully fund the government, there are new numbers to split. Worcester County will finalize its budget on June 6. By then, the City Council could have decided on its next move. “We have it on our schedule to have a conversation on legal strategy on May 30,” Miller said.
Tourism open house next week (May 5, 2017) The Ocean City Department of Tourism and Convention & Visitors Bureau will celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week with an open house at the visitor center located in the convention center on 40th Street, from 1-3 p.m. on Wednesday. “Ocean City is rooted in hospitality and we feel a fitting recognition of National Travel and Tourism Week is to invite everyone to stop by the visitor center, meet our staff and learn more about what the Ocean City Tourism De-
partment and the Convention & Visitors Bureau have to offer the community,” said Tourism Director, Donna Abbott. “This would also be a great time for businesses to learn more about the value of joining the CVB.” Locally, tourism supports more than 10,000 jobs in Ocean City, with total state and local tourism tax receipts adding up to $173.8 million in 2015 and over $1.5 billion is tourism sales, according to statistics compiled in the most recent Tourism Economics report.

Ocean City budget hearing filled with public dialogue Frequent council speakers spark answers from resort mayor, Councilman Gehrig
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) A routine first reading for the fiscal year 2018 budget warmed up Monday night when citizens took to the podium to criticize how the Ocean City Council allocated taxpayers’ money and councilmembers fired back. The council’s proposed $128 million spending plan for the next fiscal year, which runs from June 30 2017 to July 1 2018, includes $84.3 million in the general fund. The balance is in what are called enterprise funds, which are standalone budgets for operations that generate revenue for their respective departments. Three of these funds — water, wastewater and the golf course — generate sufficient revenue on their own, while the airport, convention center and transportation funds received subsidies from the general fund. Property taxes were lowered again this year to 46.56 cents per $100 of assessed value. That puts it seventenths a cent less than it was last year. Overall, property taxes will generate $40.6 million, which is roughly a $244,000 increase from last year. Frequent public commentator Ellie Diegelmann told the council that two issues in city government remerge during budget time: transparency and money. “As taxpayers and consumers, this is about the way we live,” she said. “My overall feeling, and the budget is an opportune time to mention it, is the more you spend, the more you save is not a prudent method. A lot of business owners, if they’re prudent, they avoid growing too big too fast.
Governments make that mistake.” Following up, resident Tony Christ asked Mayor Rick Meehan, Council Secretary Mary Knight and Councilman John Gehrig to define which items the government needs to fund for public good. “I think [that includes] road, water, sewer lines and police and fire to the degree the county doesn’t provide it. Number one on my list is the pensions,” Christ told the council. “You people ought to have a philosophy on what government responsibility is. I hear a little from a few, but then it’s… ‘like my heart throbs, so we’re going to pay for that.’” Gehrig answered Christ’s question. “Our job is to make sure our community is safe. We need to know the economic drivers. Ours is based on guests, customer service, cleanliness and our roads,” he said. “We want to have a more year-round base so our cash flows aren’t so specific so that we can grow our revenues and we can upgrade the roads and storm drains. But to do that, we need to realize how we have the money to provide those core services. “You don’t want to spend a nickel on tourism. I’m not willing to risk that,” Gehrig told Christ. “I don’t go to work, flip on the light and hope some people come in. That’s not a sound strategy. So, you can attack us, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong.” Meehan agreed. “We’re here to provide services our residents expect and deserve,” he said. “To make Ocean City a livable community, you need roads and to keep it clean year-round. We have one industry, tourism, and that offsets the costs for these services and provide for the great community we live in.” After the mayor finished speaking, Gehrig added that he did not run for See OFFICIALS Page 11

Then you’ll be up here asking for ideas,” he told the audience. “Let’s work on ideas and stop complaining and bitching at us at every single meeting.” Gehrig apologized for the tone and the language. “It was overdue,” Council President Lloyd Martin said. With that said, the FY18 budget ordinance passed unanimously on first reading. Second reading will be held on May 15.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) With the end of the budget season on the horizon, the Ocean City Council is considering changing its policy of funding various nonprofit organizations to save money. Traditionally, resort officials allocate thousands of dollars get every year to several Worcester County causes that provide services to Ocean City. This year, $338,750 in requests came from 11 agencies. That total includes the $5,000 prize for the first White Marlin catch of the season, which was later funded out of the Tourism Department. The proposed FY18 budget includes $92,083 for grants. Coastal Hospice and Atlantic General Hospital did not receive any of their requested funding at $10,000 and
$200,000, respectively. The nonprofit Worcester Warriors Against Opiate Addiction was not funded originally, but Mayor Rick Meehan and the council agreed to set aside $2,500 for it during budget-wrap up in April. Before the council voted on the first reading on the FY18 budget during Monday’s meeting, Councilman Wayne Hartman raised the matter of aiding these nonprofits with taxpayer money. “I don’t know if I was elected to pick the various charities for the taxpayers,” he said. “These organizations also receive Worcester County money, and when I look at that I think about the tax differential discussion.” For years, the City Council has sought a lower property tax rate from county officials based on the argument that the resort taxpayers pay for county services they don’t use because they’re provided in town. Resort officials have suggested lowering the Ocean City tax rate to reflect that. “Looking at the charities we’re contributing to — these are things the county has already given to,” Hartman said. “We’re guilty of the thing we’re fighting the county on, double taxation. But this is double donation.” In Worcester County’s FY 17 budget, $756,145 was allocated for dozens of organizations, including Coastal Hospice at $10,000 and Atlantic General Hospital at $75,000. Other recipients, like Diakonia Worcester Youth & Family Counseling, Life Crisis Center and the Cricket Center, were helped by both Ocean City and the county. Estimating that Ocean City contributed 54 percent to Worcester County in taxes, Hartman argued that the resort was already funding some of these nonprofits. “Worcester Youth and Family received $91,710 from the county. Fiftyfour percent, or $49,510, comes from Ocean City and we’re giving another $9,000,” he said. “I’d like to see us amend the budget, withdraw funding and not be hypocritical and doing See CHARITY Page 12

Other councilmembers agreed with Hartman, but Council Secretary Mary Knight said the time to reevaluate this would be during strategic planning discussions in July. “When we’re having this serious discussion, we need to let the nonprofits know, because I’m sure they

have put this funding in their budgets. I’d hate to turn it off right now,” she said. Budget Manager Jennie Knapp agreed with Hartman that Ocean City is donating twice to nonprofits. But she also pointed out they had followed all procedures to get that money. “They had their applications in by January, and their budgets have already been presented and they’re pretty much dependent on the money we have given in the past. I feel to change direction would not be in the best course of action,” Knapp said. With that said, Councilman John Gehrig voiced his opposition to Hartman’s call for action that meeting. “Are we ready to assume responsibility for destroying these nonprofits just because we feel like it? I’m not willing to punch these nonprofits in the face at the last second,” he said. “My intent is not to hurt anyone,” Hartman answered, “It’s to bring realization that we’re paying for two donations. [Ocean City] is doing more with same amount of money and we have costs growing we can control.” Hartman’s request to remove the nonprofit funding that was duplicated in the county’s budget was tabled until the strategic planning sessions this summer.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) In his first official week of retirement, former Parks Superintendent Calvin Ginnavan had one final word of advice for Ocean City officials and his old staff. “Just do your best,” he said. “That’s what I tried to instill in my employees, and it’s what I lived by when I worked here.” Ginnavan, who started working for Ocean City in 1980, officially retired on April 30 – exactly 37 years after he started his career with the Recreation and Parks Department. In that time, he guided several changes in the resort, such as increasing the number of parks and being one of the pioneers of Winterfest of Lights. When Ginnavan moved to the island four decades ago with his pregnant wife, Carol, he worked various construction jobs and family businesses. His wages from working part-time sustained the couple for a month before he was invited to interview with then-director of Recreation and Parks Jerry Groves. No stranger to hard work, he and his wife kept up with the family enterprise, renting apartments on 14th Street and managing the Cabana Motel on 19th Street, for years. The Ginnavans sold the apartments in 2015 after Calvin’s parents died, and leased out the Cabana Motel. That eased some of his workload, but retirement is going to be a big change of pace. “I was working seven days a week up until two years ago,” Ginnavan said. “Retirement’s not too bad so far, since I’d be working [for the city] 6 a.m., and not sure when the day would end. You’d never know when the superintendent’s job was done.” Mayor Rick Meehan and the City Council honored Ginnavan at the April 25 work session. Meehan said that Ginnavan had a lifetime of experience for the city, and outlasted five mayors, five city managers and four different department heads. “Look how far we’ve come since the 1980s and Cal has been a big part of that,” he said last week. “Whenever we were trying to develop something, we always said, ‘Let’s ask Calvin.’ He’ll know how to get it done.’” In his tenure, Ginnavan oversaw the expansion of Northside Recreation Complex, which started as a single building in 1985, to several ball fields and tennis courts. He also had a direct hand in installing playgrounds and moving dirt at the developing Eagle’s Landing golf course. Ginnavan was also responsible for planting enough trees to earn Ocean City’s Tree City USA – no easy feat for a small barrier island. CommemSee MR. OC Page 14

‘Mr. OC Parks’ finishes tenure Continued from Page 13 orating this achievement, Ginnavan was also honored at the annual Arbor Day celebration on April 28. Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito said that Ginnavan would be remembered as an integral part in Ocean City, as he started with seven employees, three of whom were responsible for taking care of the athletic fields, and made the resort’s parks shine. “I don’t know what else there is to say… the list of his accomplishments go on and on,” she said in a later interview. “He’s been such a factor and
influence in modern day growth we’ve experienced. Whatever was thrown at his staff, Cal’s always risen to the occasion.” Looking to the future, Ginnavan plans to spend time with his family and travel around the United States. But he might make reappearance around Christmas time for the 25th annual Winterfest. “All the projects I’ve been involved in are all great, but Winterfest does stand out because of all the time and work that we put into it,” he said. “My wife and kids are fans, so I’m sure I’ll be around.”

Council: keep turbines out of view
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Remaining steadfast in its opposition to wind farms on the resort’s coast, the Ocean City Council on Monday agreed to send another letter to the Public Service Commission and various elected officials. This time, the letter explicitly states the council’s main gripe: the visual pollution and negative impact on tourism the two proposed wind farms from U.S. Wind and Deepwater Wind might create. Both companies are vying for approval for one of two 80,000-acre wind energy fields, offshore from downtown and the other near the Delaware line, created by the state years ago. The U.S. Wind project would involve 148 turbines, each 480 feet tall, which could be 17 miles offshore from the Boardwalk. Deepwater proposes 15 turbines at 600 feet tall about 20 miles off the beach at 145th Street. In the final moments of Monday night’s session, Councilman Tony DeLuca made a motion to draft the second because of new research. “I read in newspapers that the Public Service Commission may and could approve both projects,” said DeLuca, who is the council liaison to the Coastal Resources Legislative Committee. “They started meetings on this today and they’ll continue for
the next two weeks. Given that, we need to be urgent and consistent and write a letter that the mayor and City Council does not support either project if they are within 26 miles of the coast line.” Wind energy officials estimate that it would cost $1 million per mile to extend the transmission line, thus racking up the bill on both projects. As proposed, Deepwater Wind’s project would cost $700 million while U.S. Wind’s comes out to $1 billion. Councilman Wayne Hartman agreed with the motion, but asked for different language, since the wind energy fields are between 10 to 30 miles off Ocean City. “Would it be better wording to ‘start construction from the furthest easterly part and move forward’, as opposed to setting a definite parameter?” he asked. “That doesn’t give them a target. I don’t want them any closer than 26 miles,” DeLuca said. “With my proposal, I’m not concerned about that [whether the projects could be built under the regulations].” Councilman John Gehrig wondered whether this letter would have a greater impact than the first letter city officials sent to the commission in April. That letter asked the Public Service Commission to take no action on both projects until a complete cost/benefit study could assess their
economic and environmental impacts. Concerns outlined in the letter contend that the visual impact of the proposed turbines would be dramatically greater than what was presented in the past and that the turbines’ visual impact on the view from high-rises could lead to declining property values. “The intent of the letter is to reiterate the point that we don’t want to be negatively impacted by this,” Councilman Matt James said. He added that he wasn’t sold on moving to wind energy. “Just by reading articles, it seems like a fad,” James said. “There are other choices of sustainable energy that will stick around longer.” DeLuca said he was comfortable with altering the letter’s language to make it clear the resort wants the turbines out of sight. With that said, the council voted unanimously to send a letter to the Public Service Commission to put the wind farm 26 miles away or out of view. Before ending the session, Hartman reiterated that the council did support clean energy, but there was a possibility that everyone could get what they wanted. “Wind power has the potential to bring jobs, improve fishing and not be seen here and to increase tourism See LETTER Page 16

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 5, 2017) The Army Corps of Engineers dredge Murden has returned to Ocean City on schedule, arriving last weekend in the resort, where it will remain for about a month while conducting Assateague Bypass dredging operations. “Murden … will be removing material from in and around the channel, with an emphasis on the ebb and flood shoals in which sand is traditionally trapped while naturally moving south toward Assateague Island,” Chris Gardner, spokesman for the corps, said in a release. The dredge is expected to remove about 35,000 to 40,000 cubic yards of material during its stay. “We’d anticipate about 5,00010,000 cubic yards of that material will be dredged from the navigation channel. Based on the most recent surveys, efforts in the channel will [focus] on the area between buoys 11 and 12, and near the Coast Guard dock in the area of buoys 8 and 10, both of which are traditional shoaling hot spots,” Gardner said. Commercial fishing vessels occasionally run aground in these hot spots, or captains will sometimes try to time their passages with the tides. Both approaches have their draw-
backs, as running aground could cost thousands of dollars in repairs, while waiting for the tide could spoil the catch. “Dredged material is placed south of the inlet, just offshore of Assateague Island,” Gardner said. “The regularly scheduled bypass dredging is generally performed twice a year to assist with sediment transport across the inlet south to Assateague Island — mitigating impacts to natural sediment transport caused by the Ocean City Inlet and its jetties.” Gardner predicted Murden’s return in late March, when the Instigator, a commercial fishing vessel that’s run aground at the inlet at least twice before, became stuck again. The corps, already charged with finding a solution to the sediment issue, revealed in March it was narrowing its focus from a hydrodynamic study of the entire inlet to a scour hole near Homer Gudelsky Park, formerly known as Stinky Beach. “With this change in approach, we hope to be able to finish the study effort and have a recommendation in 2019,” Gardner said at the time. The larger study of the entire inlet would take to long and cost too much, Gardner said. A previous study of the inlet by the corps was completed in 1998, but was never acted upon.

Ocean City has its concerns.” On May 4, city officials sent the letter to the Public Service Commission that set specific distance requirements for both wind farm proposals.

Joshua Shores sentenced to five years in jail Local businessman takes plea deal for fraud scheme, asks for mercy from judge
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Joshua Shores, founder of Ocean City Brewing Company, was sentenced to five years in federal prison last week for a multimillion-dollar wire fraud scheme where he sold counterfeit sports memorabilia over the internet. U.S. District Judge John Jones III of U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania also ordered Shores to pay a fine of $5,000 and two years of supervised probation upon release from confinement. Shores pleaded guilty earlier this year and was ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution. Federal prosecutors had hoped for
more jail time, as U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania Bruce Brandler filed a memorandum in January recommending that “adept con man” Shores serve seven to nine years in prison. “He has cheated people and institutions at every turn in order to achieve a façade of wealth, professional success and status in his community,” Brandler wrote in the memorandum. “This was not a momentary lapse of judgment … his scheme spanned a number of years.” In a letter to Judge Jones, Shores said there was no denying his crimes and asked for a second chance. “I have to deal with what I did for the rest of my life, not only destroying my life, but everyone around me,” Shores wrote on April 20. “Everyone makes mistakes as I have in my life, but this one by far tops them all. I am asking that you understand, show
Joshua Shores
mercy and let me prove what I can do.” Following a long investigation, Shores was charged in 2016 with wire fraud for selling phony sports collectables through several online businesses. Federal prosecutors said
Shores had ordered unsigned jerseys and footballs, later placing signatures of notable athletes on them before selling them out of Maryland and from York County, Pennsylvania. During the investigation, an undercover federal agent bought an autographed jersey of Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee from Shores’ website for $249.99. A licensed authentication group later determined it was a fake, according to court documents. In addition, Shores allegedly received payment through various PayPal and Amazon accounts he created in friends’ names, some without their knowledge. Those who did know told law enforcement that Shores said his accounts were frozen after customer complaints and asked for their help. Checks received through these accounts were often deposited to a bank account in Shores’ deceased grandmother’s name, the prosecution wrote in the sentencing memorandum. The checks were endorsed by the people who were named on the account, who later told law enforcement they had never signed them. Brandler wrote that Shores had a “signing station” in his warehouse in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania with different colors of permanent markets, hologram stickers to make phony certificates of authenticity and a pedestal covered with black felt used to take See PROSECUTION Page 20

Prosecution sought maximum penalty for Ocean City brewer Continued from Page 18 pictures of “autographed” memorabilia. The sentencing memorandum also describes three binders filed alphabetically with close-up computer printouts of professional athletes’ signatures used as “go-bys” for the forged autographs forged. Shores also allegedly hired an employee to upload images of the counterfeit items on several Amazon accounts on computers in Maryland libraries. Although Shores acknowledged guilt, Brandler said his actions in the five years he was running his memorabilia business spoke louder than words. “One’s true character is what shows when no one is looking. In this case, when no one was looking, Joshua Shores hid behind hundreds of differ-
ent email addresses, bank accounts, seller accounts, his mother and the identities of others where no one could see the man behind all the falsities,” Brandler wrote in the sentencing memo. Contrasting with the portrait of an experienced criminal, Shores said that he jeopardized his family and Ocean City Brewing Company when “the world came crashing down.” “One of the hardest challenges I have faced is my situation coming out, almost bankrupting Ocean City Brewing Company and embarrassing my children and family,” his letter reads. “I know I am going to prison and it’s going to be deeply traumatic for [my two children] …. I will say I am lucky to have the support of my family and friends that helped build the brewing company and hopefully we survive by the time I am released.”

POLICE/COURTS
Assault with shoe Officers charged a man with striking his girlfriend with a tennis shoe while staying in a midtown hotel on April 1. Ocean City police were called to the hotel for a domestic disturbance at around 10 a.m. When they arrived on the scene a woman told officers that John D. Allen, 30, of Germantown, had hit her. They were arguing about missing car keys when Allen allegedly struck her in the right side of the face with a tennis shoe. Allen was charged with second-degree assault on May 1. He is out on a $7,500 bond.
DWI/DUI Ocean City police arrested a Dover man for allegedly driving under the influence and blocking the road on April 29 at around 3 a.m. During a routine patrol, officers said they saw two women shouting and running away from a tan Honda Accord parked on Philadelphia Avenue near Fourth Street. While following the women to Fifth Street, police saw the Honda trail the women and attempt to prevent them from leaving the area. At one point, the Honda stopped in the middle of the roadway alongside the women, police said. When an officer noticed blood on one woman’s pants, he pulled up behind the Honda and turned on his emergency lights.

The driver, identified as Jeffrey G. Major Jr., 25, told police he had one drink at a bar and one in his hotel room. Officers reportedly smelled alcohol when they questioned him. Major’s lips were bloody and there was blood splattered inside the vehicle, police said. When Major failed a field sobriety test, police arrested him with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while impaired. He was also cited for obstructing the roadway.
Threats A homeless man was arrested after he allegedly threatened people on the Boardwalk on May 2. At around noon, Ocean City police were called to the Comfort Station near Caroline Street for a report of a man screaming profanities. Police said about a dozen people approached an officer and said they were scared of a man who had threatened to hurt them. The officer could hear the man, later identified as Edward Livingston, 49, screaming, “I’ll kill you all!� from 20 feet away, according to the report. Livingston did not stop screaming even when the officer told him to stop. He was charged with disorderly conduct.
Wandering in traffic Ocean City Police arrested a Crownsville, Maryland woman for walking in the middle of downtown traffic on May 5. Elizabeth J. Stevens, 28, was spotted walking north of Baltimore Avenue near Somerset Street at around 5 p.m. Police said Stevens was stumbling in the street and vehicles were swerving to avoid hitting her. She made her way to North Division Street when she left the sidewalk into the roadway, where she was nearly hit by a SUV, according to the report. Police said Stevens had several open cuts on her legs from unknown causes, but refused treatment. She was arrested for disorderly conduct and obstructing traffic. Police later charged her with possession of heroin paraphernalia when officers found a needle in her purse during a search.

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 5, 2017) Ending a monthslong streak of little engagement with the Worcester County Commissioners, Department of Economic Development Director Merry Mears and new Deputy Director Kathryn Gordon had several items for review during the April 25 meeting, with all of them receiving the board’s endorsement. Gordon began her inaugural address to the commissioners by asking for their consideration in sending a letter of opposition to proposed commu-

nity development block grant cuts as proposed in President Trump’s budget. “Worcester County has received CDBG funds in the past to conduct a feasibility study for a new industrial park, acquisition and demolition of the former Campbell’s Soup manufacturing facility in Pocomoke City, to purchase an eight-acre parcel in Berlin with a building to be leased, and the building addition for the Riverside Grill in Pocomoke City,” Gordon said. Municipalities in Worcester, Gordon continued, also use the funds to improve building facades. In all, since 1989, Worcester County has used more than $6.72 million in these funds to improve conditions in the county, Gordon concluded. See MEARS Page 28

Mears: Every municipality in Worcester uses block grants Continued from Page 26 On the suggestion of Assistant County Administrator Kelly Shannahan, the wording of the letter was changed from an opposition to cuts to an endorsement of continued funding, to which the heavily Republican board of commissioners quickly assented. Mears said she believed every town in the county, along with the county itself, has made positive use of CDBG funds. Mears also addressed what she believes to be an error in classifying Worcester County as part of the Salisbury Metropolitan Statistical Area by the Office of Management and Budget in Washington D.C. The reclassification affects the county’s designation as a “historically underutilized business zone,” or HUBZone, that offers county businesses an advantage when attempting to secure government contracts. The county’s HUBZone designation is set to expire in 2019. Part of the designation is a requirement for HUBZone employers to hire 35 percent of its employees from the area. Mears, in a letter to Rep. Andy Harris’ Community Liaison Bill Reddish, listed seven Worcester businesses that could be negatively affected by the change: Hunter Allied of Maryland in Berlin, Hardwire in Pocomoke City,
Chery Industries in Ocean City, Artisan Networking in Ocean City, McAllen Corporation in Pocomoke City, TRGroup in Ocean City and BBCS in Pocomoke City. Among other advantages this designation provides these businesses, Mears said, is an alert system in place to notify HUBZone businesses when a federal project is becoming available. This allows the businesses to begin formulating their bids before other vendors. Harris responded with his own letter to Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, opposing the change, and the commissioners agreed to send their own letter in support of retaining Worcester’s HUBZone status. Mears wrapped up her presentation by providing an updated budget and contractor’s agreement for the Step Up and Reach for the Stars STEM camp, leadership cohort and internship program. The program has cost about $77,000 a year since 2013, and serves between 40 and 60 students in the county. Mears was excited to continue the program, as NASA Wallops Island has returned as an internship provider for the program. The commissioners approved the budget and the continuation of the program under administrator Fawn Mete.

Kramer honored for saving man after crash behind shops Unidentified driver careens into dumpster; NRP gives rescuer highest civil award
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Valerie Kramer did what she was supposed to do. That’s how the Ocean City woman explained how she saved a man’s life after he crashed his car into a dumpster behind the Tanger Outlet shops on Route 50 in West Ocean City. Kramer, 32, was honored by the Maryland Natural Resources Police in a ceremony on April 19 at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold alongside three other civilians. She received the certificate of appreciation, which is the highest award a civilian can receive from the Natural Resources Police. “It’s so strange, I got trained by a paramedic five years ago and it all was right there in my head when I needed it,” Kramer said in an interview this week. “I had the experience, and I’m glad I had it that day.” NRP Ofc. Vincent Artrip recommended Kramer for the award for helping resuscitate a man on Jan. 4. Artrip was dispatched to the area behind Marshal’s that day around 2
p.m. for a report of a car crash. When he arrived, he saw the vehicle had struck a dumpster. The driver’s side door was open, and the victim was hanging outside the car. “When officer Artrip helped him out of the car, he saw that the man was blue in the face and had no pulse,” NRP spokeswoman Candy Thomson said. Kramer, who is the general manager at Baja Amusements nearby, said she heard the bang of the vehicle striking the dumpster. She assumed it was trash collection at first, but a co-worker who went to investigate told her to come outside. “When I ran outside, I saw the car. There was a crowd around the guy and the officer pulling him out, and people were saying he had no pulse. So that’s when I turned around and got the AED [automated external defibrillator],” Kramer said. After Artrip placed the man on the ground, Kramer removed his shirt and attached the defibrillator to his chest. The device gave a shock to his heart, and while waiting for it to reset, Kramer administered chest compressions on the man. At that point, Ocean City Fire Department paramedics arrived and took over the scene.

The man was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. When he arrived at the hospital, he was breathing on his own, Thomson said. He was discharged on Jan. 6 with full neurological functions. Kramer said that it was an intense experience, but she felt like it was a chain of events that played out for the best result. “A few years ago, my boss went on a campaign to get the AED and us trained after his daughter’s friend had a heart attack,” she said. “When I told [the paramedic who trained me] she was happy, and I thought that was weird. But it dawned on me that she trained me for this, and
when the time came, I did it. He fully recovered.” Kramer was honored along with three other civilians, Benjamin Waller, Nicholas Wilson and Douglas Bramble, from Kent Island. NRP dispatcher Beth Coleman and fleet manager Shakira Johnson also received the civilian award this year. Kramer said that she was surprised to hear she was named for the award. “You hear what all the officers did to be honored, it’s a little intimidating compared to what I did,” she said. “I got lucky that I could hear [the crash] with all the go-carts going. If I just assumed it was the dumpster, it could have ended differently.”

to carry as many crab pots at one-pound each as rapidly as possible. “We all had a wonderful time and it was well organized,” Ryan said. “We completed the course with the fourth best time out of seven boats.” Seven students helped to develop the crab boat using Ryan’s guidance and insight from two residents with boat building expertise. Students also utilized information from books and videos on YouTube. “This covers all the different content we try to include in the curriculum,” Ryan said. “Students are using problem solving skills, learning where to mount the motor and how to integrate electronic components in addition to structural elements and fluid technology.”

Decatur tennis teams earn victories over SH
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 5, 2017) The Stephen Decatur tennis teams hosted the Snow Hill Eagles on Monday and both the boys’ and girls’ squads came away with victories. Sophomores Trevor Hayes (8-4) and Jonathan Petito (8-3), and seniors Egor Reznikov (8-2) and Drayton Hoffman (8-1) won their first through fourth singles matches, respectively. Senior captains Josh Domingo and Brennan Holloway outscored their
first doubles opponents 8-2. Reznikov and Hoffman topped their second doubles competition 8-1. Junior Frankie Nanna and senior Ethan Jansen took their third doubles match 8-2. Decatur Coach Steve Berquist said the wind was a factor, but the Seahawks are used to it on their courts. They adjusted well, he added. He changed the lineup a bit, allowing more players to participate in the competition. “Since we have so many kids we
wanted to get them in. They all did great,” he said. “I’m pleased with the way we’re finishing the season. We’re doing well.” The Lady Seahawks won 6-1. Sophomore Grace Beres (8-1) and freshmen Sarah Haskell (8-1) and Laura Meadows (8-2) earned victories at first through third singles. Snow Hill forfeited the fourth singles match as well as second and third doubles. The Eagles’ lone win was at first doubles, (9-7 tiebreaker).
“It was more about survival – to try to keep the ball in play. The wind was a factor, definitely, in the one loss,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “I thought we adjusted well and the girls played much better once they got situated with the wind.” Decatur’s final match of the regular season was scheduled for yesterday, Thursday, against Worcester Prep. On Tuesday, May 16, Decatur will compete in the District VIII championship in Cambridge.
Decatur baseball team wins 11-1 over James M. Bennett
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 5, 2017) The Stephen Decatur baseball team earned an 11-1 victory over the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tuesday in Berlin to clench a spot in next week’s Bayside Conference championship game. The key to Decatur’s success against Bennett, who edged out the Seahawks 4-3 on March 29, was “coming out prepared to play,” said Decatur Coach Rich Ferro. “And for the most part, [senior] Jake [Shockley] throwing strikes, playing defense, a couple timely hits and the commitment to having an approach at the plate. That’s what we’ve been trying to preach to them and they’re buying into it a little bit,” he
added. “And a good attitude. No negativity.” Bennett scored one run in the top of the second, but Decatur drove in three in the bottom of the inning to pull ahead. “[Junior] Shane Cioccio’s three-run home run kind of started it,” Ferro said. “Lots of positive energy. We got back in there grinding it out and turning out good at-bats.” The Seahawks tallied three runs in the third, four in the fourth and one in the fifth to go up 11-1 and end the game (10-run slaughter rule). Cioccio went 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Junior Stephen Bontempo had two hits with two RBIs and three runs scored. Senior Wyatt Church See DECATUR Page 40

SD girls’ lax squad’s 12th graders shine on Senior Day
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 5, 2017) On Senior Day, Wednesday, the Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team won 16-6 over the James M. Bennett Clippers, in Berlin. Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki started the nine seniors and said it was nice to see them all on the field together. “They really worked well together. They enjoyed playing together and they jelled really well,” she said. “It’s nice to have so many seniors who are talented.” The Lady Seahawks led 10-4 at halftime. Decatur’s seniors were recognized during the halftime break. Seniors Victoria Kerkovich and Lexie VanKirk, a team captain, led with three goals and an assist each. Senior captain Claire Porter chipped in with two goals and four assists. Christina Romano, also a senior cap-
tain, contributed two goals and three assists. Senior Brigitte Ardis had two goals. Sophomore Logan Figgs (one assist) and juniors Lily Belle Baker, Maggie Bunting and Caroline Engle netted one goal apiece. Senior captain Sara Mitrecic recorded 10 saves in goal for Decatur. Freshman Isy Kristick took over for the last six minutes and stopped three Bennett shots. “We were moving a lot on offense, which helped them find more opportunities to produce goals,” Braniecki said. “On defense, they were talking and sliding and when they were double teaming it caused turnovers, and we came up with the ball.” Decatur is scheduled to play the Parkside Rams today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Salisbury (weather dependent). “We need to come out intense and grab the draws right away,” Braniecki
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 5, 2017) The Stephen Decatur track and field teams will compete in the Bayside Conference championship meet on Wednesday in Cambridge. “I think the boys can finish top three, at best, and girls can finish maybe top five,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. In the boys’ competition, the favorite going into the meet is North Caroline and for the girls’ event, James M. Bennett. “I think our athletes need to focus on running their best times and trying to place as high as they can in their event,” Stigler said. “For the team to be successful, it is always important that we have some individual Bayside champions.” The 3A East Regional meet is scheduled for Thursday, May 18 and Saturday, May 20 at Reservoir High School in Fulton, Maryland. said. “Defense needs to step up and be loud. We need to play as a team. If we do all that we’ll be fine.” If Decatur wins, they will represent the Bayside South in the conference championship game, slated for Monday at 7 p.m. in Salisbury. “The girls look good. Over the past week and a half they definitely realized the things they need to work on,” Braniecki said. “They’ve been working hard. They know they have the potential to beat the teams we lost to early in the season.” Seeding for the regional tournament will take place Monday afternoon. The sectional quarterfinals are slated to begin on Wednesday. Decatur will compete in the 3A-2A East Division.

Freshmen Saylor McGuiness and Mesa Cammack took their second doubles match 8-2. “The wind had to be taken into account, especially on serves. It took a game or two on each side to get used to it,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said. “I was pleased. We didn’t know what to expect from Saints Peter &
Paul. They were strong and seniordriven last year.” Hudson said the freshmen “stepped up nicely” during the competition. “We’re rather a new team with starting four freshmen, but they’re solid,” she said. “I’m pleased at this stage of the season to be 10-0.” Worcester’s boys’ and girls’ squads faced Bennett in Salisbury on Wednesday. The Lady Mallards earned victories in all seven matches. Larsen (8-3), Batra (8-2), Plylar (8-0) and Nateson (8-8) won their

Big second half leads to 12-4 victory for SD
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 5, 2017) After a close first half, the Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team outscored the Delmar Wildcats 9-2 in the second half to win Monday’s game in Berlin 12-4. “I’m happy with the way they responded after halftime,” Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said. “Ball movement was much better. We played more like a varsity team.” Delmar got on the board first, but Senior Robbie Duke evened the score
with just under seven minutes remaining in the first quarter. Junior Charlie Coates hit senior captain Tucker Cordial cutting to goal and he buried his shot to give Decatur a 2-1 lead with 5:22 on the clock. Duke increased the home team’s advantage to two goals with 2:17 left to play. The Seahawks were on top 31 at the end of the first quarter. Delmar scored one goal in the second quarter, and at halftime Decatur led 3-2. During the break, Lathroum said the team discussed shot selection,
slowing the game down and moving the ball around. Decatur tacked on two goals in the third quarter, while Delmar netted one. The Seahawks moved the ball, got better looks and placed their shots in the fourth quarter, Lathroum said, and because of their efforts they tallied seven goals. “In the second half we started hitting our shots,” Lathroum said. “Defense only allowed four goals, so I’m happy with that.” Cordial led Decatur with six goals.
Duke added three. Juniors Liam Deck and Dominic Klebe, and sophomore Chase Porter, scored one goal each. Goalie Zac Cioccio stopped eight shots. Coates and junior Collin Eichelberger had three and five assists, respectively. Decatur’s last match of the regular season is slated for today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. against the Parkside Rams in Berlin (weather dependent). Seeding for the 3A-2A East regional tournament will take place Monday. The sectional quarterfinals are slated to begin Wednesday.

Business Harborside bar in West OC named as favorite tavern
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Harborside Bar and Grill was named this year’s Favorite Bar or Tavern on April 30 during the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s Stars of the Industry awards gala. The event was held at the Baltimore Renaissance Harborplace Hotel. The establishment in West Ocean City on Harbor Road was also nominated for the award several years ago. “It was so exciting,” said Lisa FinkMartin, a manager at Harborside Bar and Grille. “I felt like I was at the Grammys. It was amazing and I was happy to be there.” The Restaurant Association of Maryland has recognized hospitality professionals throughout the state for 63 years. “The Stars of the Industry Awards give the public the opportunity to give frontrunners in the hospitality industry the recognition they deserve,” said Kimberly Schlosser, the marketing and events coordinator of the Restaurant Association of Maryland. “The hospitality industry is such a hardworking industry and we’re happy to give them credit for everything they do on a daily basis.” Fink-Martin believes the fresh seafood, rustic atmosphere and freshsqueezed orange crushes have something to do with the Favorite Bar or Tavern accolades. “We are the home of the original fresh-squeezed orange crush,” FinkMartin said. “It’s a fun place to visit and we are right on the commercial harbor with views of the fishing boats. You can see Ocean City from our dock and it’s a great spot for boaters with our several boat slips.” Owners Lloyd Whitehead and Christopher Wall credit their staff and crew for taking care of Harborside customers in addition to creating a family atmosphere among employees. Harborside Bar and Grill celebrates its 24th summer in Ocean City this year, offering a wide-range of fresh seafood including crab claws, scallops, ahi-tuna and calamari. “It is a really cool place to go to and a local hang out,” Fink-Martin said. “We’ve been here a long time and it’s definitely an honor to be noticed.” Jules Fine Dining on 118th Street was a finalist for the Wine and Beverage Program of the Year and Sellos Italian Oven and Bar in West Ocean City was up for the Favorite New Restaurant award.

Wilson makes $5K donation to AGH Campaign for Future
(May 5, 2017) Joe Wilson recently gifted the Atlantic General Hospital Campaign for the Future with a $5,000 donation. Wilson is a native of the greater Ocean City area and has spent most of his life here. Upon graduating from Worcester Prep in Berlin, he attended the College of Charleston where he earned a degree in Political Science. Following college, Wilson returned to Ocean City to care for his parents and take over their real estate business before they both passed away from cancer. He chose to invest in the Atlantic General Hospital Campaign for the Future because of its commitment to affording patients and their families more time together, the ability to telecommunicate with physicians from across the bridge at the University of Maryland Medical Center and cut down on frivolous travel time. “I wish this was an option for me and my family five years ago when my parents were battling cancer,” said Wilson, a realtor with Mark Fritschle Group Condominium Realty, Ltd. “It is of the utmost importance to do my part to try and help impact the lives of others within our community that may be going through similar experiences.” “We’re extremely grateful for the unwavering support of the community,” said Campaign for the Future Co-Chair, Jack Burbage. “The way healthcare services are delivered is changing, but Atlantic General’s
commitment to state-of-the-art medicine only grows stronger. We can help AGH meet the challenges of providing the very best healthcare services right here – close to home, so that families like Joe’s can have the quality of live they so deserve, rather than traveling countless miles for treatments.” The funds raised during the $10 million Atlantic General Campaign for the Future will allow Atlantic General Hospital to complete $35 million in capital projects. Among them is construction of a new 18,000-square-foot full service cancer care center, completion of a women’s health center in West Ocean City, renovation of existing surgical facilities and expansion of emergency services within Atlantic General Hospital as well as improvements to inpatient care areas. To date, the Foundation has already secured almost $3 million of the $10 million goal in pledges, commitments and grants. The new 18,000-square-foot Regional Cancer Care Center, which is to be built on hospital-owned property at the corner of Route 113 and Old Ocean City Boulevard (Route 346) in Berlin, will provide one centrally-located, convenient facility for the care and treatment of individuals with cancer and blood disorders. In addition to existing medical oncology and chemotherapy infusion services and integrative therapies, the new center will include See REAL Page 62
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 5, 2017) When listing a home for sale, sellers should make sure they really “come out of the gate running.” The following are do’s and don’t’s for sellers when listing their house for sale to ensure the least amount of days on market and the best possible offer. Don’t: Overprice your home. Many sellers feel that their home is “unique,” and should bring a higher price than the other homes in the neighborhood. But based on national averages, if you’ve surpassed more than seven showings for your home and not received an offer, you are probably overpriced. Be realistic in your starting list price. Try to compare your home without emotion—there is really no room in this market for overpriced homes. Do: Tone down any showy colors. Even if the peach accents seemed like a good idea 15 years ago, now’s a good time to freshen up your home’s color scheme utilizing neutral hues that appeal to the masses. Don’t: Overlook the actively listed competition. First and foremost, sellers should always be careful to keep their competition in mind when deciding on a list price for their home. Of course, sellers need to know what the recent comparable sales or settled properties, like it’s important knowing the active competition. If you know which other houses interested buyers want to see in addition to your house, you can properly price your house to beat out all of your competition. Do: Get your car out of the front driveway. Cars lined up in the driveway can signify that your house isn’t big enough to store all of your belongings. You should try to keep your front drive free of cars so potential buyers feel welcome. Don’t: Look at your house as your home anymore. Once sellers make the decision to list, they need to detach themselves emotionally and start to view the home as a “product” for sale. To have the house in its best possible shape to present to buyers, sellers need to clean, de-clutter and make repairs to have the house in good working condition and in its most presentable and marketable shape. Do: Declutter the yard. Store any distracting items such as kids’ toys, soccer goals, lawn ornaments, etc. anywhere other than the front yard. — Lauren Bunting is an Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Restaurant Week specials in Ocean City last until Sunday By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Residents and visitors have until Sunday to try a new spot or enjoy discounted prices at their favorite local eatery during the 11th annual Ocean City Spring Restaurant Week, which started April 23 with 25 establishments participating throughout the resort. Participating restaurants feature special fixed-price menus ranging from $10 to $40, along with other discounts and their regular menus for lunch and dinner. “We have a mixture of good deals and price points with scrumptious entrées,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “I’m going on the dessert tour from the salted caramel brownie sundae at Waterman’s to the lemon lasagna dessert at Longboard. [There’s also] Maddy’s famous peanut butter pie [at BJ’s] and a chocolate chip vanilla crème brulee at Horizons.” The event gives chefs a chance to experiment with a new dish while also giving establishments the opportunity to showcase popular menu items. “Jules [Restaurant] always has nice selections with a lot of different options and they are offering a bonus: a
free glass of wine,” Jones said. “Longboard Café is also offering something for everyone.” The two-week restaurant specials are designed to draw customers through the doors when business is slower, and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new innovative dishes ranging from local pubs, to fine dining. “Restaurant Week certainly sparks a decent amount of business,” Jones said. She added that Fall Restaurant Week would run Nov. 5-19. Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week back from a travel summit on the western shore in 2007, she said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to enjoy a date night or girls’ night out,” she said. “Get out and try some new restaurants, because the deals are so tremendous. I always love an excuse to eat out.” Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s special menu prices. Participating restaurants will still have regular, full-price menus available during the special. “There is a place to please every palate in Ocean City with a variety of restaurants and price points,” Jones said.

Ocean City’s Springfest underway Four-day festival features food, arts and crafts and live musical entertainment
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Ocean City’s inlet parking lot transforms into a fourday festival featuring food, live musical entertainment and arts and crafts vendors during the 27th annual Springfest celebration, held May 4-7. The free event kicked off Thursday and runs through Sunday under large tents in downtown Ocean City. “Springfest is a favorite start to the summer season in Ocean City with great food, arts and crafts and live music,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. Currently, the festival is in full swing with thousands of people from all across the country expected to attend and peruse 184 unique craft booths, get a bite to eat at one of the more than 30 food vendors or jam out to dozens of free concerts in the inlet parking lot. Admission is free to Springfest, although headlining musical acts required tickets, but they are already sold out. “Those who have been to Springfest know how special the four days of fun under the tents can be,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “If you haven’t been, you certainly should not pass up the opportunity to
check out the great music, amazing arts and crafts and the delicious food.” At least 184 artisan vendors will be on site selling paintings, photography, wood products, apparel, personalized items, crafts, jewelry, glassware, decorative items and many more treasures. “Mother’s Day is coming up, and Father’s Day too,” Waters said. “Springfest is a great place to find one-of-a-kind gifts for your parents or loved ones. I love taking home something new each year that I cannot find anywhere else.” Mid-Atlantic Ford is slated to bring a couple cars in addition to their two-level, interactive display. Springfest will offer hungry visitors a range of options with more than 30 vendors inside the food tent and beyond serving a variety of festival foods including baked goods, jerky, crab cakes, wraps, pit beef, funnel cakes, chicken tenders, pizza and pork barbecue. “There is a variety of Eastern Shore delicacies and authentic Maryland seafood,” Waters said. “There is something for everyone.” Last year, the event drew a crowd of more than 91,000 people, despite a couple of weather concerns, Miller said. In 2015, more than 100,000 people came out to Springfest, making it the second highest turnout in event history. The best year Springfest had was in 2004, when 118,000 stopped by the four-day festival, Miller added.
“We have been waiting all winter for spring,” Waters said. “Springfest is the beginning of our season and a great way to get outside, enjoy the weather, the salt air and the sunshine.” There will be plenty of activities for children including inflatable bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, hair wraps and sand art. Dozens of free musical performances will be taking place all weekend long from classic rock to country tunes and a number of cover bands. Visitors can catch free shows starting at 10:15 a.m. every day through Sunday, with Blind Wind, Rick K & The ALLNIGHTERS, the Beach Bumz and Randy Lee Ashcraft & The Saltwater Cowboys lined up, just to name a few of the acts. Sir Rod will close out Springfest on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Since parking is limited in downtown Ocean City, shuttle buses will be offered to and from the West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50 beginning at 6 a.m. every day of the event. For more information on the shuttle service, call the Ocean City Transportation Department at 410-7231606. “So much of the event is undercover so don’t let a weather forecast detract you from coming to Ocean City and Springfest,” Miller said. Twenty-seven years ago, Springfest started out as an arts and crafts festival with a car show, he added. See SPRINGFEST Page 66

Country music star Josh Turner will play to a packed house at Springfest tonight, Friday, beginning at 8 p.m. He has sold more than five million albums prior to his newest release and garnered six No. 1 hits including “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “All Over Me,” “Time is Love,” and his newest single, “Hometown Girl.” His latest album release, Deep South, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard top country albums chart in March. The final headlining act, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, sold out a month ago and will take the stage on Saturday night. The ‘80s rockers have a number of top 20 hits including Tommy James’ “Crimson and Clover” cover, Gary Glitter’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)” cover, “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Little Liar” and No. 1 hit, the Arrows’, “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” cover. “What I really love about our musical headliners is how diverse they are,” Waters said. “What other concert venue offers an oceanfront view, just steps from an iconic Boardwalk?” Four days of eating, shopping and listening to music kicked off Thursday
with retro rock n’ roll band Rick K & The Allnighters and a Thursday night performance from the Fabulous Hubcaps. Visitors can catch free shows starting at 10:15 a.m. daily through Sunday, with Blind Wind, DJ Batman, the Beach Bumz and Randy Lee Ashcraft & The Saltwater Cowboys lined up, just to name a few of the acts. Sir Rod will close out Springfest on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Tickets for September’s Sunfest headliners, Clint Black, Christopher Cross and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be available to purchase at the box office located in the Berlin Automotive Group Entertainment Pavilion. “We have three great names who have well-known songs,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City.

Unique arts and crafts and variety of food at Springfest By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Homemade baked goods, paper flowers, crab cakes, glass art and pork barbecue are just a few of the items vendors will have for sale in the inlet parking lot during Ocean City’s 27th annual Springfest festival, which kicked off yesterday and continues until Sunday. Thousands of people from all across the country are expected to attend and peruse 184 unique craft booths or get a bite to eat at one of the more than 30 food vendors. The event provides the opportunity for artisans and merchants to show off their products in addition to being a reunion for returning vendors and a trip to Ocean City for the weekend. Vendors travel from all over the United States, including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Michigan this year. “This will be our first time at Springfest and we bake from scratch grandma’s way,” said Robin Deitch of Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, owner of Robin’s Nest, who will be selling homemade whoopie pies, cookies, cakes and other baked goods at Springfest. “We were invited to come through the Nautical and Wildlife Show we did in January. We are excited to be a part of Ocean City com-
munity festivities. It sounds like a lot of fun.” Springfest will offer hungry visitors a range of options with more than 30 vendors inside the food tent and beyond serving a variety of festival foods including baked goods, jerky, pierogies, wraps, pit beef, ham and turkey, funnel cakes, chicken tenders and pizza. “There is a variety of Eastern Shore delicacies and authentic Maryland seafood,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “There is something for everyone.” Another newcomer to Springfest, Lauren Gallina, will showcase LaBella’s Paper Petals from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with five-petal, singlestem paper flowers for sale in addition to smaller arrangements priced at $25-28 in her booth. “They can be purchased individually and range from $2 to $5, depending on the size of the flower,” Gallina said. “I make the flowers in a variety of colors as well as in different themes such as music, animals and sports. I always accept custom orders and will ship.” As Gallina’s business continues to grow, she has been traveling to different craft shows and many vendors in addition to customers have recommended Springfest as well as Sunfest,

held in September. “From my experience, a good show has well organized people in charge who take the time to jury crafters and pick quality vendors who have a unique product, which will appeal to the customers,” Gallina said. “This seems to be what Springfest is all about. I appreciate shows where a committee of members actually sit down and look at the pictures of the products people make and not everyone who sends in a check is accepted. Plus, you can’t beat the location.” Karen Daniel, from Holland, Michigan, will introduce her unique Glass Art Design’s at Springfest for the
first time this weekend. “I was told by other vendors that Springfest is a great show to attend, and am very excited to experience it for myself,” Daniel said. Her main products are fused-glass nightlights, garden stakes made from repurposed glass and sun catchers. “My designs are whimsical and colorful and are found in many resort areas,” Daniel said. All designs are drawn and hand cut by Daniel. The nightlights are fired in kilns with many receiving multiple firings to get the desired look. After firing, some are embellished with beads See CRAFTERS Page 68

Crafters, artists, food vendors travel across U.S. for festival Continued from Page 67 lished with beads and buttons. “The majority of my work is wholesale,” Daniel said. “I like to do a few shows, not only to get me out of the studio, but also to talk to people and see what they like and what color products are moving. I ship to galleries and gift shops in almost all 50 states and have a handful of international accounts.” Daniel’s son and daughter-in-law moved to the area in 2014. After falling in love with Assateague Island and the horses, Daniel spent nine hours crabbing with her family and decided a crab nightlight had to be added to her inventory. The crab nightlight is selling great and a huge hit on the East Coast, she said. “Springfest is an awesome opportunity for East Coast communities to come together and kickoff the start of many artisan’s summer show season,” Daniel said. “With Mother’s Day right
around the corner, this show provides the perfect experience to find many one-of-a-kind gifts for that special someone in everyone’s life.” At least 184 artisan vendors will be on site selling paintings, photography, wood products, apparel, personalized items, crafts, jewelry, glassware, decorative items and many more treasures. “Mother’s Day is coming up, and Father’s Day too,” Waters said. “Springfest is a great place to find oneof-a-kind gifts for your parents or loved ones. I love taking home something new each year that I cannot find anywhere else.” Mid-Atlantic Ford is slated to bring along some cars in addition to its twolevel, interactive display. “It is an excellent shopping experience,” said Brenda Moore, special events coordinator for the Town of Ocean City. “There are two large tents full of unique arts and crafts vendors and the midway

Inside going out Taylor Sloan ast week was Macky’s Bayside’s season-opening party. Of course, I stopped by to take photos of those enjoying one of Ocean City’s favorite seasonal restaurants. While there, I ordered an orange crush, and was carded by the bartender. I look young for being 24, and my hair is platinum blond on my license.

Walker provides stuffed grape leaves recipe Traditional Greek dolmades focus of discussion; made with rice or meat, or both
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 5, 2017) “The Fox and the Grapes” is one of Aesop’s notorious fables, numbered 15 in the Perry index. The story is about a fox that cannot reach a mouthwatering bunch of grapes; as a result, he declares they are unripe, not worthy, and moves on. The moral of this Greek proverb is one should not belittle that which is beyond their reach. Imagine if chefs took the attitude of the fox and scorned cultural differences and disdained the thought of
change. Progression and fusion would never make the menu and the art of cookery would dwindle to a mere feeding of daily necessity. We as food enthusiasts should not forget the story of the contemptuous fox and the delectable grapes. Lessons learned reflect awareness not only in the kitchen but in life itself. Diversity is a welcomed ingredient and no excuse for ignorance. Therefore, let us embrace a popular tradition that originated half way around the world. “Dolmas” means “stuffed” and refers to a family of stuffed vegetables originating in Turkey but expanding all over the Mediterranean and the
Middle East. We will be focusing on the traditional Greek dolmades that are made of grape leaves with a stuffing of rice or a combination of rice and meat. Before we delve into the subject of dolmades, the science of rice needs to be addressed. The rice-to-water ratio does not hold true when scaling up a recipe. According to “Cook’s Illustrated,” after running a series of tests, it was confirmed that rice absorbs water in a 1:1 ratio, no matter the volume. For example, take a rice pilaf recipe that calls for 1 ½ cups rice and 2 ¼ cups of water. Many home cooks do not realize that the rice will only absorb 1 ½ cups of water; the remaining ¾ cup of water evaporates. Science is an intricate part of cooking and knowledge ascertains distinc-
tion. The amount of water that evaporates does not double when the amount of rice is doubled. The bottom line: to double the rice pilaf recipe, use 3 cups of rice and only 3 ¾ cups of water ( 2 ¼ + 1 ½). Now that we have a better understanding on the preparation of rice, let us move onto the subject of grape leaves. Generally grape leaves are picked from wild vines. Cultivated vines are not as tender and flavorful. If possible, use fresh grape leaves. They are very difficult to find but if you get lucky, choose young, blemishfree leaves and store them flat, layered with paper towels, in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. Otherwise, jarred leaves are perfectly acceptable. Whether using fresh leaves, salted,

Walker suggests blanching grape leaves before cooking or jarred, you will need to blanch them before cooking; fresh leaves need the cooking time to tenderize them, and the preserved types need a quick dunk to remove some of the brine. Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil and fill a large bowl two-thirds of the way with ice water. Plunge the leaves in the boiling water; the cooking time will depend on whether the leaves are fresh or preserved. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the grape leaves to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and lightly pat dry with paper towels. Do not blanch until you are ready to cook them. To stuff the leaves, take a leaf and carefully spread it on a flat working surface with veins facing upward. Place approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of the rice stuffing near the stem end (the amount of stuffing will depend on the size of the leaves). Press the stuffing into a small sausage-like shape. Fold the stem end of the leaf over the filling, then fold both sides toward the middle, and finally roll the grape leaf into a cigar shape. The fold should be snug but not overly tight because the rice will swell once it is
fully cooked and possibly burst. The rolls should be cylindrical (about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick). Stuffed grape leaves are easy to make and a fun way to involve the kids. Once one understands the basic principles, feel free to deviate from conventional recipes. Swiss chard stuffed with creamy feta orzo is an innovative twist. Consider a filling of quinoa, pistachios and raisins; the sweetness and parlay of flavors are sure to be a hit with vegetarians. Following is a basic stuffed grape leaf recipe with a rice filling. A well seasoned chef looks forward to going out of their comfort zone. Enjoy!

1. Pour ¼ cup of olive oil into a medium pot and heat it over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft. Add the rice to the pot and sauté for 2 minutes, constantly stirring. 2. Pour in chicken stock and lower the heat; simmer the rice uncovered for about 10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is half way done. Cook the rice just to an al dente texture. Remove the pot from the heat. 3. Add dill, mint, pine nuts, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the pot of rice. Stir the ingredients and season with salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanche the leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes. Immediately place leaves in cold water. Rinse and carefully pat dry with paper towels.
5. Roll the grape leaves according to the instructions in the article. Save enough leaves to form a layer in the bottom of a medium pan. 6. Spray the bottom of the medium pan with cooking spray. Then, add a layer of grape leaves to the bottom of the pan. This keeps the rolled grape leaves from sticking to the pan. 7. Stack rolled grape leaves on top of the layer of grape leaves; make sure you stack them close together. 8. Pour 1 cup of vegetable stock, ¼ cup olive oil and remaining lemon juice over the stuffed grape leaves. Heat the pan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not allow it to come to a boil). 9. Turn the heat to low, so the leaves are slowly simmering, and place an inverted heat-safe plate on top of the stuffed grape leaves. 10. Cover and allow the stuffed grape leaves to cook for 30 to 45 minutes. Check one just to make sure it is cooked all the way. 11. Stuffed grape leaves can be served warm or cold.

Annual Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally held May 4-7
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 5, 2017) Motorcycle aficionados are in town for Ocean City’s seventh annual Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally, which began yesterday and continues until Sunday, featuring a poker run, live music, custom bike show and a number of additional festivities going on all weekend. Between 15,000 and 18,000 bike enthusiasts show up for the rally every year, but weather plays a huge role in attendance, said Hooper’s General Manager Ryan Intrieri. “The event was created to bring business to Ocean City,” he said. “It’s a rider’s type of event. They get to dust off their bikes and come down on their motorcycles to enjoy offseason rates. People can enjoy the resort in the beginning of the season.” Participants may register for the spring rally at Hooper’s, located at the foot of the Route 50 bridge, for $25 at any time throughout the weekend. The first 200 people to register at Hooper’s will receive an official rally T-shirt, drink tokens to any participating location and chance tickets to win prizes, including an all-expense paid vacation for two to the Key West Bike Week in September in Florida. “The main thing for people to remember is you don’t have to be registered to win the main prizes,” Intrieri said. “For every $10 you spend at a sponsor location, you receive one chance ticket for prizes. Local patrons or guests can rack up $100 at Fish Tales and come cash them in for chance tickets at Hooper’s or bring their hotel stay receipt.” The second-prize winner will be invited back to Ocean City in September with two free tickets to Bikefest. Third place takes home $1,000 in cash. In addition, organizers have randomly deposited 10 red tokens into registration bags, which are instant prizes ranging from motorcycle apparel to gift certificates. Attendees do not have to register to participate in winning prizes and organizers encourage patrons to bring any sponsor location receipts to the main event tent at Hooper’s to redeem chance tickets. On Saturday morning, American Legion Post #166 will host Ocean City’s sixth annual Poker Run. Participants can sign up online or register at the rider’s tent at Hooper’s Crab House anytime on Friday or before noon on Saturday. The Poker Run takes place from noon to 5 p.m. and will cost $20 per bike with a $15 fee for a passenger. Riders will win cash, trophies, door prizes and 50/50s. All proceeds will go to supporting troops and the community. Register online at www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/poker-run-registration.

Proceeds from the ride will go toward the scholarship fund that will benefit a Stephen Decatur High School student. Check-in takes place from 9-10:30 a.m. in the parking lot across from Stephen Decatur High School before the ride leaves at 11 a.m. Riders will take the backroads along the Eastern Shore to Suicide Bridge Restaurant in Hurlock, Maryland, for lunch where there will be door prizes. For more information, contact Kevin Hudson at 443-614-3846. The Custom Bike Show also takes place at Hooper’s on Saturday, where bikers can showcase their rides and compete for the opportunity to be featured in Thunder Roads Magazine. Categories include best of show, cruiser, vintage, sport, touring and customized bikes. Bike Show judging starts at 2:15 p.m. with registration closing at 2 p.m. Registration costs $20 and all proceeds benefit local charities. Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/sh ow-registration for more information on the event. Hooper’s Crab House will also have live entertainment from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Some of the other Ocean City and surrounding area venues sponsoring
Spring Bike Rally events are Oasis Bar & Grill in Whaleyville, The Globe in Berlin, Plaza Tapatia inside the Gold Coast Mall on 115th Street in Ocean City, Guido’s Burritos on 33rd Street and First Street on the Boardwalk, Decatur Diner and Harborside Bar and Grill both in West Ocean City, the Bearded Clam on Wicomico Street in downtown Ocean City, Pickles Pub on Eighth Street, Dead Freddie’s on 64th Street, Applebee’s in West Ocean City, Seacrets on 49th Street and Fish Tales on 22nd Street, bayside. For each $10 participants spend in any of the event sponsor locations including participating hotels and restaurants, they will receive a chance ticket.

Assateague Coastal Trust’s annual Plant Sale this Sat.
(May 5, 2017) When purchasing heirloom vegetables from Assateague Coastal Trust’s 18th annual Native Plant Sale, buyers will not only be stocking their garden with delicious produce, they will also be helping to preserve and propagate special seeds and bolster biodiversity to boot. This year, for the first time, ACT purchased its vegetable seeds from the Seed Savers Exchange, a Missouri-based nonprofit dedicated to saving and sharing seeds. It maintains a collection of more than 20,000 heirloom and open-pollinated vegetable, herb and plant varieties, and is committed to ensuring the health and viability of the collection for generations of growers to come. It preserves most of its seeds in an underground freezer vault at its historic farm. Why all the fuss about saving seeds? Over the last 100 years, the world has lost about 75 percent of its edible plant varieties. A food system that is dependent on such a limited variety of crops is considered extremely fragile.
The increasingly industrialized agricultural system is also a major culprit, as the chemicals and machines that it requires have led farmers and scientists to breed for uniformity in plants and animals. The growing use in the U.S. of genetically engineered plant varieties has also threatened biodiversity. In 2013, 170 million acres – or almost half of all cropland – of genetically engineered crops were planted in the U.S., using patent-protected seeds that cannot be saved and planted again next year. The good news is that vegetables and fruits grown from heirloom seeds often produce more colorful and tasty treats, many with intriguing names and fascinating lineages. View the complete selection at www.ActForBays.org. Pre-order veggies, fruits, herbs and native perennials before they sell out. Pick up orders, or select from the remaining varieties available on the day of the sale, Saturday, May 6 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the ACT office, 9842 Main Street in Berlin. For more information, contact ACT at 410-629-1538.

Warner, DeHart to take part in kidney walk Continued from Page 80 More than 500 kidney patients, friends and family members are expected to walk the 3-mile route or shorter path for strollers and wheelchairs at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Checkin begins at 9 a.m. and there is no registration fee. “This signature event helps the National Kidney Foundation of Maryland build awareness, drive prevention and support treatment of kidney disease – the ninth leading cause of death in the United States,” Elliot said. Those who raise a minimum of $100 will take home a Kidney Walk T-shirt and participants can enjoy refreshments from Panera Bread, Giant and Starbucks. This is the second year the Warner family will be attending the Kidney Walk in Salisbury. Kayla Warner, of Berlin, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 15 months old before doctors discovered she had end-stage kidney dis-
ease years later. In the meantime, Kayla and Christopher were diagnosed with Alport Syndrome, which is a genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss and vision trouble. After 15 months of dialysis, Kayla Warner, 18, received a kidney transplant. “She has had her new kidney for two years and it’s working like it was made for her,” Rebecca Warner, Kayla and Christopher’s mom, said. “It is important to have your children monitored. Kidney disease is silent until it’s not.” Robert DeHart, of Pocomoke, was a diabetic for 20 years before receiving a kidney transplant in 1999 from his sister and a pancreas from an 18year-old boy who died in Florida. “My sister, God bless her, I owe her my life,” DeHart said. “I told her ‘You sacrificed to give me this kidney and I will fight every day to live.’” DeHart, 57, will participate in the

Salisbury Kidney Walk for the fourth time with his girlfriend, Chris Wells, and at least a dozen patients, doctors and employees of Peninsula Nephrology Associates, which has taken good care of him, he said. “We all have different stories and talk about our experience,” DeHart said. “We also share information with each other and I get new information every year. It helps us cope with our problems and lifestyle. We talk about what we’ve been through. People are so nice and we have a great time.” In 2008, DeHart was no longer a diabetic, but he lost his eyesight for four and a half years. His wife left him and he learned how to read brail before receiving eye surgery, which brought back some of his vision. DeHart can now drive and is going back to work. “I just had my 18th anniversary without a rejection,” DeHart said. “[The kidney transplant and blindness] made me a stronger and better person. It was tough at times, but the main thing was to stay positive.” DeHart stresses going to the doctor because early detection is key to living a long life with kidney disease. He also encourages people to consider donating their organs. “I wouldn’t trade it for a million dollars,” DeHart said. “I am fortunate to still be here.”
Healthy kidneys are essential to keeping us alive because they work as chemical factories to remove waste and regulate blood pressure. Kidneys are just as vital to sustaining life as the heart. On an average day, 22 people will die while waiting for a life-saving organ and nearly 3,000 Marylanders need a kidney transplant. “My sister was back to work in three weeks and was up walking around the second day after surgery,” DeHart said. More than 100,000 Americans await kidney transplants, but fewer than 17,000 people receive one each year. One in three American adults are at risk of developing kidney disease during their lifetime and 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease and most don’t even know it. Kidney disease can affect anyone – young or old – yet the risk for disease can be reduced with regular checkups, a healthy diet and exercise. “All money raised for the National Kidney Foundation of Maryland stays on the Eastern Shore for research and helps families who cannot afford a kidney transplant or other medical costs,” DeHart said.

‘Divine Feminine’ show in May (May 5, 2017) May’s art show at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street is devoted to empowering women through art — both visual and literary — with exhibits, readings, classes and lectures by women, about women, and for women and everyone. “Divine Feminine” is curated by Berlin artist Deborah Rolig with assistance from her sister, Dee Gray. Divine Feminine opens with a free public reception on First Friday, May 5 with extended hours from 5-9 p.m. Blacksmith Restaurant and Baked Dessert Café will serve hors d’oeuvres. “This is not your average art show,” said Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art Center. “The Art Center is being transformed for the month of May — the month of Mother’s Day — with special
decor, a cutting-edge reception and events meant to engage all the senses.” Show curator Rolig believes the importance of this event is honoring and acknowledging what she calls the “Sacred Feminine.” “It’s time to bring back into balance what a patriarchal society has denied us, and to give birth, nurture and sustain a new wholeness that balances the masculine and feminine, the dark and the light, the yin and yang,” Rolig said. A women’s MarketPlace Artisan & Craft Sale will take place during the opening reception and also on Saturday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The market will feature jewelry, mixed media, miniature paintings, fiber art, skin care/beauty See WOMEN Page 86

This 162-page collection of poems, essays and short stories was authored by 27 local women writers — eight members of the Ocean City Library Writers Group and 19 members of the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild — who explore the theme through intimate glimpses into the life passages and experiences that unify all women. The book will be available for $19.99 with profits contributed to charities benefiting women and the arts. Live readings and book signings by the authors will take place on Monday, May 15 from 2-4 p.m. at the Arts Center. Rolig invited women artists working in photography, video art, sculpture, painting, illustration, mixed media, and fiber arts to participate in the Divine Feminine art show on display in the Thaler Gallery.

Tenth annual Berlin Jazz and Blues Bash set for Saturday
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 5, 2017) The 10th annual Berlin Jazz and Blues Bash returns this Saturday with nine acts, including youth bands, local and regional touring groups and, for the first time, the U.S. Navy Jazz Band Commodores. Sponsored by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, the event will feature wine from Whaleyville vintner Costa Ventosa and beer from Berlin’s Burley Oak Brewing Company. Food and art vendors and a children’s art activity area will round out the event. Organizer Steve Frene noted that the new date corresponds with Springfest in Ocean City. Jazz and Blues was held in June last year. “That, of course, benefits us because there are thousands of people who come to Ocean City every year and it’s so easy for them to come over here in Berlin,” he said. “So, we’re back on that date and we’re excited about it.” Frene will emcee the event with Jim Meckley of New York Connection, one of the festival acts. New this year, Frene said, is that the festival will feature two stages of live music on the north and south ends of downtown’s Main Street. When one band finishes a set on one stage, the next can begin on the other without a break in the action. “That was a concept I had wanted to do early on [in the event’s history] so the music never stops,” Frene said. He was one of three members of a chamber committee who started the event a decade ago. Frene said the two-stage set up would not just benefit the audience, but also the dozens of musicians performing during the festival. “Being a musician and a band guy and playing in these festivals all of my adult life, it’s always a drag to come to load in to a festival and you’ve gotta wait until the band’s done. And they’re always going to be late and you’re always going to be hurried to set up,” he said. “This way the other band can have a whole hour to set up and there’s already live music going on down the street at another stage.” Along with having a larger audience pool to draw from because of Springfest, Frene said the return to May also gave festival organizers access to area student groups. A jazz trio from Stephen Decatur High School will open the festival at 10 a.m. and the Salisbury University Jazz Band will play from 11:15 a.m. until noon. “That was important when we started the event, to make sure we included the student bands, because a lot of those programs have jazz,” Frene said. “It’s one thing to play jazz in a classroom setting, but it’s something else to go out and perform it with an audience. It gives them a real thrill and a purpose to learn [the music]. “When we moved [the festival] to June, school was out so we couldn’t include them, but now that we’re back in May we’re happy to have them
back,” Frene added. “They’ve got time to plan a program and then perform it, and their friends and family can come to see them. That brings a different audience to town as well.” Frene is also excited to have the Navy Jazz Band Commodores for the first time. “Several years ago at the Atlantic Hotel, the Fagers somehow brought in the Army jazz band at the last minute and it was so nice and they’re so talented. I always thought that I would want to see one of the military branch jazz bands come in,” Frene said. “And so I did a little research and found out they’re free – you just have to get on their calendar early. “I’ve been working on it for about a See LOCAL Page 90

Local and regional groups, youth bands set to perform Continued from Page 89 year now and finally got the call in mid-January that they had the date open and would love to come,” Frene said. “Of course, we told them we’re the ‘coolest small town in America’ and the filming location for ‘Runaway Bride’ and ‘Tuck Everlasting,’ but even more importantly we’re the birthplace of Naval hero Stephen Decatur and our town symbol is an anchor.” After a few years of what Frene called “dwindling crowds,” he hopes this year will be a return to form for the Jazz and Blues Bash. The event is expected to draw several thousand people to downtown
Berlin and provide a sizeable economic boost to the shops and restaurants. “We want to bring people to Berlin again,” Frene said. “Over the years, we’ve found that these events are really the big thing that bring people to town and they get to experience Berlin, many of them for the first time, and then they come back when there’s not a festival going on,” he said. “They come to Berlin and then they walk around and they fall in love with the town and the stores, and they almost always come back.” For more information, visit www.berlinchamber.org/events/jazzand-blues.

Commentary
Facts, principles and perceptions
It’s tough to like the rich person when he or she complains about getting a raw deal. That’s how it is with Ocean City government’s constant objections to the county’s property tax structure. This week that complaint filtered down to the city’s charitable giving budget, which the City Council wisely decided to leave intact. That was because perception, not fairness or facts, was the overriding concern. In a way, the debate over the resort’s desire for a more equitable property tax deal from the county mirrors the national discussion of tax reform: should the rich pay more because they can more easily afford it? Or should everyone pay something closer to the same income tax rate out of fairness, while government makes up the difference with other kinds of taxes? Despite all the politicians who say they have the answer, they don’t. Otherwise, there would be no discussion. As one-time French Finance Minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert reportedly observed more than 300 years ago, “The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing.” The hissing continues and, again, it’s about perception. When the City Council this week briefly considered cutting the city’s charitable donations, it backed off because of how it would appear — insensitive and selfish. Never mind the valid argument that resort property tax revenues constitute a large portion of the grants the county government awards these same organizations. The fact is there are principles and then there are politics and appearances. These seldom coincide, which is why no matter what Ocean City government says or does in its long, long quest for a tax differential, it needs to be mindful of how it is perceived.

Letters to the editor Concern over Netflix suicide series show
Editor, Within days of its release, the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” rose to the top of the list of most-watched (and mosttweeted-about) Netflix series. If you are a teenager, you’re aware of the series’ extraordinary popularity among your friends and classmates. If you are a parent, you need to be aware, too. As one of the area’s leading suicide awareness and prevention organizations, the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund is pleased that the tragedy of youth suicide is on every young person’s tongue, but disappointed about the portrayal of the suicide victim and the graphic nature of many scenes. Above all, we regret the failure of Netflix to recognize that the issues and their portrayal can be a trigger to a young person in a suicidal crisis by failing to provide crisis prevention information in every episode. For those reasons, we join other experts in suicide prevention to advise that families watch the series together. If that is not possible, we urge adults to openly discuss the issues with the teens in their lives. Reviews of “13 Reasons Why” run the gamut from “It is
powerful” from a high school teacher to “the show may be perceived as glorifying and romanticizing suicide,” from a mental health professional. On Facebook pages, and in our conversations with parents and young people, those diverse opinions are reflected. While we agree that it is vital that the community address issues like bullying, sexual assault, drinking and drug use, gender identification and preference, and the destructive potential of social media, we are wary of a scenario in which many mental health practitioners are issuing stark warnings. Critics have pointed to the graphic and vicious depiction of rape as being gratuitous, and to the suicide scene, which many think is little more than a tutorial on one way in which a young person may make an attempt on his or her own life. The young woman whose fictional suicide is the conceit of the plot is depicted as “not a victim so much as a manipulator, enacting her own revenge on the characters,” behavior that is atypical of suicidal young people. The series is nearly devoid of practical prevention information. It does not even feature the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number, 1-800-273-TALK, which we believe at a very minimum, should appear before
and after every episode. At its best, “13 Reasons Why” opens adult eyes to the problems modern young people face, and provides a forum for discussions between adults and youth to find solutions that make kids’ lives safer, less stressful and more secure. As a catalyst to conversation it serves a useful purpose, but at its worst, “13 Reasons Why” can be disturbing and harmful, and when presented to a young person already contemplating suicide, with no mature guidance, it could have tragic consequences. Ronald W. Pilling Secretary/Treasurer The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, Inc.
Proposes schools reduce paper use

The application is available to teachers as a method of communication, but the use of the app is the Continued on Page 102

Stupid kayak for sale
By Stewart Dobson Editor For sale: One *#$%!# kayak. Nicely outfitted for fishing, but primarily used as a knot-, line-, fishhook/landing, net-untangling platform while drifting toward disaster. This may include involuntary global circumnavigation and/or running aground in six feet of shoe-sucking mud suitable for use as an organic construction adhesive. Length: 12 feet — one foot too long to reach everything you’ll want and one foot too short to stow properly everything you’ll bring, but won’t need, i.e. fishing net, stringer, etc. Great cooler storage area in stern. Perfect for anyone whose arm-length permits tying shoes without bending over. Accessories: broken paddle, sixinch length of snapped-off fishing rod tip, curiously shallow cup holder two sizes wider than cup; scupper conveniently located as drain for spilled coffee. Recently broken straps and handles will be replaced. Other: lumbar support seat — hahahahahaha! — boat is mostly bright yellow, some flecks of red resulting from loss of knuckle-related parts during kayak-loading incident. Incidentally, I went fishing recently. Also incidentally, it did not go well. Here’s an example: On my first cast, I watched 20 feet of new premium ultra extra special fishing line erupt into a squiggly wad of halfhitches all the way down to the subatomic level. And then it stopped … immediately. As experienced anglers know, this
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 101 teacher’s choice, not mandatory. Therefore, all information from school is communicated in the form of color paper with ink printed flyers. Stacks of them. That said, my husband and I try our best to make eco-friendly choices in life, and we have a mostly paperless household. We don’t do the best job, but we make the effort. On a daily basis, we receive a large amount of paper information from teachers. Add that to the school’s constant dissemination of information via flyers (some entirely unrelated to school events) and schoolwide reminders in the form of paper flyers, and now our trashcans are overflowing. As members of the community and as parents, we strive to promote healthy learning environments for our children. Their education must include knowledge of methods to make environmentally conscious choices as students and into adulthood. We must acknowledge to ourselves and our children that many of our choices at school and at home have a real impact on our community’s well-being. The administration has the opportunity to take a stand against unnecessary
causes a bullwhip effect, which is what happens when a 50-foot cast abruptly comes up about 47 feet short. I should point out that the difference between a bullwhip and a fishing line is that the whip doesn’t have a flying fishhook on it. Had I not ducked — poor thinking on my part, I guess — it would not have whizzed just above my left ear and snagged the landing net, which went overboard on the return flight. Seven snags, a post-cast fishing line bird’s nest of such unique properties that the ospreys were bidding on it, and one splendid throw onto the bridge walkway later, I decided to bag it. This is even though one of the chortling pedestrians passing by at the time would have been a keeper. It occurred to me as I headed back to shore that I was just as well off not to have gotten into the bluefish that were, of course, jumping, rolling and chasing breakfast all around me. One bad thing about kayak fishing is there’s only one place a fish can be boated when your net has gone missing. I’m willing to do most anything to land a fish (there’s a bass/tequila story I will relate one day), but there’s something disconcerting about dropping a big chopper bluefish in your lap. That would not be the best place to discover why they call them “choppers.” The idea to sell the kayak came to me at the exact moment that my knuckle lost weight. Still, I may postpone that. I’m sure the next time out will be great, once I replace and repair all the equipment I really won’t need.
waste by offering electronic communication options for OCES families. I dream of being able to check an “electronic communication” box, because those communications certainly started as a word document or PDF that could easily be emailed of posted for those families that choose to “opt-out” of paper communication. Providing a paperless communication option at OCES, reducing paper use, recycling paper, and buying recycled paper products can let the administration carry a torch not just for students, but also for their families and our community as a whole. I appreciate the Worcester County Public School system for asking the specific questions that have given me the opportunity to express my concern about OCES’s paper waste. I have high praise for my children’s school, where they are thriving. I adore each teacher they have had, and the administration is otherwise admirable in every way. I do understand how fortunate we are to have all three of our children growing up in the Worcester County School System. Neely James West Ocean City
