County agrees to stadium study But beyond helping with analysis,officials remain noncommittal

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Funding for the phase I study of an indoor/outdoor sports complex to be placed somewhere in Worcester County was given the green light Tuesday by the county commissioners with

the voice of opposition represented by Ocean Pines’ representative Chip Bertino. “This reminds me of the discussions we had about the Ocean City Convention Center,” Commissioner J. Bud Church said. Church said naysayers plagued that project as well, but it now stands as one of the area’s crowning achievements. “The money is well worth it

to discover what we can or can’t do,” Church said. For his part, Bertino focused on costs and pointed to an increase in the amount required by the county to conduct the study. During a presentation on the project in January, county Economic Development Director Bill Badger estimated the county’s share at $12,000. That number has grown to $15,000, but Badger said he had the

money, today, in his current budget once he “reprogrammed” some advertising funds. “We added an outdoor portion and that number was based on off-the-record conversations I had,” Badger explained. The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development will contribute $25,000 to the study, the See PUBLIC on Page 7

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Barring some sort of major upset, Ocean City’s 2016 fiscal year budget will pass its final reading in two weeks without any major changes from what was introduced. The council voted six-toone this week to approve the budget on first reading. The move was considerably different from the past several years, when at least a few budget issues have been hotly contested. Even the single nay-voter, Councilman Matt James, said he “thought that David [City Manager David Recor] and the rest of the staff did a great job of keeping the budget status-quo.” However, James said after the meeting, he is still hesitant to go forward with a budget that puts off, but does not address, some pervasive issues with the city’s spending. “Every voter I’ve spoken with has made a point to ask why taxes would need to be increased,” James said. “There are a lot of people who look at the budget and find there are places where we can cut.” City taxes will not be going up by a great margin – only about three-quarters of a cent, from 47.04 cents per See STATUS-QUO on Page 5

City to hold hearing on R-1 rental rezoning Process to begin on creating designation for tourist-free neighborhoods, if approved

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Ocean City’s Planning and Zoning Commission has consented to hold a public hearing on the possible creation of an R-1a zoning district that would require properties in areas with that designation to be used only for long-term occupancy. Such a district is proposed to be similar to the existing R-1 zoning, which indicates single-family residential zones, but with added restrictions on the ability of owners to rent their properties for short periods. “The commission has said they are willing to take this to public hearing to establish what we would refer to as an R-1a single-family district, which would be a new type of residential district that would most likely have requirements limiting certain types of rental,” said city Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith. The notion to create such a zone is the result of continuing pressure from residents of the Mallard Island neighborhood, who have been lobbying the city for nearly a year to address the issue of single-family homes being used as weekly rentals for large groups of tourists. The noise, traffic and other disruptions created go against the intent of the R-1 zoning, residents have said, which was designed to protect areas of full-time resident families from being entirely driven out of the resort. But if the creation of R-1a zoning is the solution, it will take some time, Smith said. The planning commission will meet again, likely in two weeks, to agree on specific language for an ordinance to create the new zone. The public will then weigh on the ordinance at a hearing, and that testimony will be forwarded to the City Council, which will require several more weeks of public input to codify the policy, if they vote to do so. This would simply create the pa-

The only specific protection the city currently offers to R-1 zones is the stipulation that homes must be occupied by persons related by blood or marriage, or no more than four unrelated persons who are “living together by joint agreement and occupying a single housekeeping unit with a single culinary facility on a cost sharing basis.” However, enforcement presents a problem, since Smith or other officials cannot simply enter a home to verify the familial relationship of the occupants, itself a shaky legal matter given the current national debate over the status of non-traditional marriages.

Fairfield Inn coming to former Misty Harbor City now has two Marriott franchises scheduled to be open by 2016 season

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Putting an exclamation point – if one is even needed – on the recent chain hotel boom in Ocean City, the resort will likely have not one but two new Marriott franchises by this time next year. After years of changing plans and changing ownership, the former site of the Misty Harbor Motel on the west side of Philadelphia Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets is seeing construction. Plans are in place to have the first phase of the redevelopment, which will consist of eight townhouse units H and a 109-room Fairfield Inn by Mar-

riott, completed by the start of the 2016 season, according to Jeff Thaler of Atlantic Planning, Development & Design. Thaler’s client at Misty Harbor is the same New Jersey-based hotel group that built the new Holiday Inn Express on Route 50 in West Ocean City, Thaler said. But it is a different company than the Virginia-based corporation for whom Thaler is also building a 150room Residence Inn by Marriott on 61st Street/Seabay Lane, alongside Route 90’s entrance to the resort. That project is also on schedule to open by the summer of 2016. As approved by the city’s planning commission last year, the Misty Harbor project would feature townhousestyle condominiums on the property’s west side, between 25th Street and the canal. To the east, fac-

ing the highway, would be the hotel and two restaurants. “There’s two restaurants in the application, but it’s most likely going to be one restaurant,” Thaler said. “We had a major chain that was going to go in there but pulled out and is not doing it. So the site is still available, but that would be a ‘phase two’ move.” Per the city zoning code, the restaurant (or restaurants) enjoy a 50 percent reduction in parking as an “accessory use” to the hotel. The intent of the code is to give leniency for restaurants whose patrons may already be staying at the hotel, and thus not creating additional traffic. But the project came under fire when reviewed by the planning commission, as the capacity of the restaurant space – more than 9,000 square

feet – far exceeds the customer base that the hotel will create. Nowhere in the code, however, is there any provision that accessory uses have to be proportionate to a given primary use. “Yes, it was a sore spot,” Thaler said. “But we designed the most effective project that the code allows.” Over the past 18 months, the resort has seen a number of franchise hotel projects come through the pipeline, most of them from large hotel groups that are not exclusively local, and deal mostly via franchise agreements with chains such as Marriott. At least from his clients, Thaler said, the interest in not necessarily new. Rather, it’s only booming now that the condo market no longer has a stranglehold on real estate. See CONDO Page 7

Public portion of funding unclear Continued from Page 1 Maryland Stadium Authority has committed $30,000 and Hat Trick, the would-be developer and primary customer, of the facility kicked in $5,000. Badger said the consultants working for the stadium authority, Crossroads Consulting Services, have also been hired to evaluate a proposed expansion of the Ocean City Convention Center, and cost savings for duplicated services may be possible. The study encompasses three tasks: data gathering, market analysis and economic analysis. Crossroads will deliver reports, a PowerPoint presentation or both. The firm expects the project to take between six and eight months to complete, and has worked on a large number of similar projects. The county could, theoretically, build any kind of complex it wanted provided it could find the money. The proposals they have seen from Hat Trick Consultants, the Texas firm pitching the idea, included hotels, a

public ice facility separate from the main rink, parking facilities and retail space described by Badger as “massive.” The county’s vague plans include an indoor arena, outdoor facilities and some kind of parking area. The number they keep coming back to is $40 million in estimated costs, but several commissioners, including Bertino, have said the county has no interest in footing construction, management or maintenance costs. Bertino was critical of a proposed public/private partnership in constructing the facility, noting he had no idea where the “public” portion would come from. “This is a marathon project. We’re at mile one, and this shows we’re in the game and in consideration,” Badger said. He called the discussion of construction and management of the proposed facility premature. “We have other projects to spend money on; $40 million for this is not at the top of the list,” Bertino said.

Condo price drop helps hotels Continued from Page 6 “There’s always been a desire by these groups to get into Ocean City,” Thaler said. “But these guys have a bottom line. They know they can only pay ‘x’ amount of dollars for a parcel

of land that will fit ‘x’ number of rooms and generates ‘x’ revenue. Before the bubble burst, condo developers had driven the price of land up to a point where it just wasn’t attainable [for hotels].”

Teacher salaries hot topic, as lion’s share of attendees have ties to school system

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) The public hearing Tuesday evening in Snow Hill about county government’s budget and proposed tax increase to 93.25 cents per $100 of assessed value turned out to be less of a hearing and more of a pep rally in support of Worcester teachers. The proposed increase in the tax rate from its current 77 cents, however, is just the preliminary number that shows what the rate would have to be to cover all the $189.8 million in budget requests that have survived so far. It also assumes not drawing down again on what is known as the budget stabilization fund, a set aside account to be used when money cannot be obtained from other sources. Of the approximately 300 people in attendance, more than 50 percent were associated with the public school system, many of them wearing color-coded T-shirts showing school affiliation. In addition, attendees wore stickers supporting the schools and a few waved signs. Dozens availed themselves of the option to address the commissioners, but only a few addressed anything

other than teacher salaries. For their part, the commissioners, save an absent Diana Purnell who was called out of town on a family matter, talked mostly among themselves during the three-and-a-half hour hearing. The comments not directed at the school budget were largely against any sort of tax increase or to express consternation at the provided summary, critiquing it as too general with too large expense amounts grouped into a category labeled “other charges.” The meeting began with County Administrator Harold Higgins summarizing the county’s current financial situation. He described how the county’s assessable base has shrunk by 26 percent and the tax increase in fiscal 2013, “the first in a decade,” was a stopgap measure not to increase revenue but to stabilize losses. Higgins also noted the creation in 2009 of the budget stabilization fund when revenues were still high to help soften the yet-to-be-felt effects of the 2008 real estate crash. The county is on a three-year reassessment schedule that divides the county into three parts, with Ocean City responsible for more than half of the county’s assessable base. Ocean City was reassessed for 2016 and values had remained largely flat while county officials had ex-

pected an increase. The county allocated some budget stabilization funds to balance this year’s budget. As stabilization funds are the last to be spent to keep the lights on in Worcester County, no number for how much was actually spent from that fund will be available until next fiscal year, or after July 1. County Treasurer Phil Thompson puts the amount of remaining funds available for use in the fiscal 2016 budget between $9 million-10 million. The county is facing a $22 million shortfall between the $189.8 million that has been requested and the revenue it expects to collect at the current tax rate. Even though the proposed budget total for fiscal 2016 will be trimmed to where its somewhat closer to the current year’s spending of approximately $178 million, the stagnant flow of tax revenue is expected to continue to hamper the county’s finances until Ocean City is reassessed for 2019. Stabilization funds, bond premiums and casino revenue are all sources of county income, but cannot be included in the estimated tax rate increase advertisements. The state law that governs county budget advertising aims to give the public a clearer understanding of local government’s finances, or at least the part to which taxpayers di-

Public school system could have $82.6M budget impact rectly contribute, according to Budget Officer Kathy Whited. Higgins said that the proposed tax rate of 93.25 cents would still put Worcester County among the leasttaxed counties on the Eastern Shore, bumping it above Queen Anne’s County’s 84.7 cents and Somerset’s 91.5 cents in 2015. Wicomico County’s rate is 95.2 cents for 2015, according to Higgins. The greatest single factor in Worcester’s budget is the public school system, which is asking for $82.6 million from the county. In stating his case for that amount, Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson said, “Our salary scales are not designed to fluctuate with the economy.” After outlining the efficiencies and spending reductions he and the Board of Education have instituted, he told the commissioners it was time for the county to do its part for the teachers. Teachers are contracted to get annual raises based upon years of service. In 2009, 2011 and 2012 these

steps were skipped, effectively negating three years’ worth of experience within Worcester County. Teachers in Worcester, if they wanted to, could move to other counties to teach and get full credit for the missed steps, he said. A few teachers at the meeting reported losses in the tens of thousands of dollars due to the missed steps. “No one wants an increase to taxes but everyone expects exceptional schools,” Wilson said. Of the proposed tax increase, according to Wilson, the schools’ portion would $4 million, which he said amounts to 2.8 cents per $100 of the proposed increase. On a house worth $200,000 in the county, that would come to $56 for the year. Whatever the tax rate ends up being, however, won’t be known until the end of the month, following two county commissioner budget work sessions on May 12 and May 20. These sessions are open to the public, but do not allow for comment. The budget will be adopted during the June 2 regular meeting.

Tracked shark passes close to Assateague, heads north Mary Lee one of many fish in these waters; no attacks ever reported in Maryland

PHOTO COURTESY OCEARCH MAP

Since OCEARCH began tagging and tracking sharks’ movement patterns, these are the paths of individual fish that came close to our shores. Mary Lee, the large mature Great White that drew lots of attention in recent weeks, is but one of several tagged sharks known to frequent the area.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Several species of sharks are common in the waters surrounding Ocean City and have been long before this stretch of beach was ever populated. But of the possibly thousands of sharks that have passed by on their annual north-south seasonal cycle, only a few have been tracked both coming and going. The most recent of these is the Great White shark, Mary Lee, which was outfitted with a transmitter by the nonprofit research organization

OCEARCH in Cape Cod, Mass. in 2012. The transmitter will signal, or “ping” whenever her dorsal fin breeches the water’s surface. Her movements are tracked and are available to the public via www.ocearch.com, or through their free phone app. Mary Lee is an impressive example of a mature carcharodon carcharias, a Great White, weighing in excess of 3,500 pounds and measuring 16 feet in length. She came within about four miles of the Maryland/Virginia border of Assateague Island last week. Then she turned south, deciding for a time, that she likes the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge better, and patrolled those waters for a while. On Tuesday she curiously pinged siSee GREAT Page 11

Berlin minor copping deal in spray paint vandalism case Two others, Jordan Denton, 18, and Nick Bonser, 18, to face charges as adults

By Brian Gilliland and Josh Davis Staff Writers (May 8, 2015) Two suspects, instead of one, will be tried as adults in the Berlin spray paint vandalism spree that caused thousands of dollars in damage to vehicles and buildings in January. Nick Bonser, 18, of Berlin, will join Jordan Denton, 18, of Ocean City in having his case heard in District Court, following a court determination Monday that he could Jordan Denton be tried as an adult rather than as a minor. The incident occurred on Jan. 25 and Bonser was days away from his 18th birthday. Denton, however, was 18 at the time and Nicholas Bonser both will face the same changes, a spokesperson for the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s office said. A third party in the case is 16 and that case will be handled in the juvenile justice system. The minor, according to the State’s Attorney’s office, has entered into a plea bargain and submitted a plea of “involved” to all 40 charges. The State’s Attorney’s may only discuss

outcomes when dealing with juvenile cases, so sentencing recommendations and details are unavailable. Juveniles may plea “involved” or “not involved” to charges, rather than the more traditional choices. Denton and Bonser also face 40 charges: 39 charges of malicious destruction of property and one count of theft less than $100, which was apparently the spray paint itself. Court documents reveal that during police interviews one of those involved admitted to obtaining the spray paint from a nearby Wal-Mart and “riding around … painting vehicles and buildings.” Representatives of the State’s Attorney’s office recently held a town hall meeting with the victims to discuss the case. An attendee of the meeting said prosecutors were concerned with personal stories of damages incurred such as loss of work and costs of repairs. According to a Berlin Police Department press release issued following the event, total damages were estimated at $11,276. Police reported 36 victims, including the Town of Berlin, which had one vehicle, 10 electric meters and four trashcans damaged. Three buildings and 33 additional cars were spray painted during the incident that spanned a dozen streets: Ann Court, Ann Drive, Branch Street, Buttercup Court, Harrison Ave, Henry’s Mill, Littleworth Court, North Main Street, Pitts Street, Powell Circle, West Street and William Street. Court dates for Denton and Bonser are expected in June.

Great White shark, Mary Lee, visits Chincoteague, leaves Continued from Page 10 multaneously on the eastern and western shores of Chincoteague Island at 8:12 a.m., the marker immediately preceding that signal was located in Chincoteague Bay about 30 minutes before. As of Wednesday morning, she has turned east and began heading north, roughly halfway between Route 611 leading onto the island and the Maryland/Virginia border, but miles from shore. She was last tracked in this particular part of the ocean, still miles from shore, in 2013. If she follows the same route she did in 2013, she will head north until she is well clear of Maryland. While Mary Lee has been here before, and presumably, will visit again, looking at her map it’s clear she greatly prefers more southern waters. She’s completed two massive circuits of a course spanning from Cape Cod to Bermuda but appears to prefer the area between Wilmington, N.C. and Jack-

sonville, Fla. She’s covered almost 20,000 miles since she was tagged. Another shark, Katharine a 14-foot 2,300 pound Great White, made a similar pass to Mary Lee’s in September 2014. However, once she hit the area about halfway between Route 611 and the inlet, but much farther out to sea, she apparently had a better idea, turned south and headed east for quite some time. She disappeared for more than a month, with her last reported ping off the coast of Nag’s Head, S.C. in early April, and had returned to her old stomping grounds, if a bit farther off the coast on May 2. Meanwhile, Septima, a 1,000 pound tiger shark that’s almost 13 feet long, seems to love it here. She patrols the waters between Toms River, N.J. and Virginia Beach, Va. regularly. Septima also appears to the shark that had been tracked closest to Ocean City, managing to ping twice in the Isle of Wight Bay last August.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) A new, detailed GIS Web Map system developed by a member of the staff of the Department of Development Review and Permitting has already shown promise, according to State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby and Col. Douglas Dods of the Sheriff’s office. “When he sent me a link and told me to, essentially, to break this, I was able to use it to save six hours of investigation time,” Dods said. A common practice when prototyping a new software system is the stress test — seeing how much the system can take before it fails. Since the developer’s specialty is building things, it is generally passed to potential users to put applications through their paces. Mark Dunlevy, on staff at the department, developed the maps as part of a master’s degree he is pursuing at Salisbury University. There were initial concerns about the county funding schoolwork or Dunlevy using work time to pursue his studies that were apparently worked out before the project could be undertaken. When the project was first proposed in December, County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said he had “ideas” on to handle the problem. Dods said as part of the stress test he was able to determine a particular issue reported to the Worcester Sheriff’s office

was going to require mediation, generally a function for the State’s Attorneys office. The six hours of investigation time Dods estimated it would have taken without the maps was cut to 15 minutes. “We’re only limited by what data is available,” State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby said. Dunlevy, in his demonstration of the software, could pull up exterior photographs of buildings, view property lines, building footprints, corporate limits of municipalities and even drug free school zones. These layers of detail could be toggled by users according to their needs. Not included were building footprints, but those functions for government buildings and schools could be linked in the future. By highlighting an address, Dunlevy linked it to state records to show ownership status and other public information. “We’ve already realized savings. Previously, if I needed a map I would ask someone in my office to contact Mark [Dunlevy], he would build it and send it,” Oglesby said. Now, Oglesby said, he can do it all himself. “So, did you get an A?” Commissioner A. Chip Bertino said. “This is part of the class,” Dunlevy replied, and pointed out his professor, Dr. Arthur Lembo, sitting in the gallery.

County sheriff interested in centralized booking system By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) The possibility of establishing a central booking center for county law enforcement was revisited last month, when Lt. Mike McDermott of the Worcester County Sheriff’s office asked the commissioners to consider the concept of a central booking facility at the county jail. Appearing before the commissioners during a budget hearing, McDermott described a scenario where a deputy making an arrest could be tied up for hours transporting a prisoner between holding facilities and processing sites before a hearing with a court commissioner. “Moving people around costs money. I don’t care if it’s two miles,” McDermott said, “We can eliminate the transportation need, process them and serve paperwork. After a video conference with the commissioner, they can be released or detained in the jail.” With the existing system, if there are two deputies on patrol and one makes an arrest, McDermott said, half of the county’s policing resources are then tied up with that prisoner. If the arrest were made in Pocomoke City, for example, the prisoner would be taken to Snow Hill for processing and to see a commissioner to determine if the suspect can be released or should be detained. Stunning Custom Waterfront

If a commissioner is unavailable in Snow Hill, which McDermott said happens, the deputy would then need to escort the detainee to Ocean City to be heard by a commissioner there. Regardless of the outcome, the officer would then have to return to his or her jurisdiction before resuming enforcement duty. Once the arrest is made, authorities have 24 hours to charge or release a suspect. “We are very interested in pursuing,” the central booking concept, Commissioner Jim Bunting said. In Ocean City, suspects are booked at the jail. Any time someone is arrested, even if the Worcester Street substation is closer, booking takes place at the Public Safety Building on 65th Street. Suspects are searched, fingerprinted and photographed. From there, they are moved into a cell, awaiting a hearing. McDermott believes a similar concept would work at the Worcester County Detention Center. The county investigated this informally back in 2000-2001, McDermott said. A study done at the time, according to County Administrator Harold Higgins, was more of a questionand-answer session. Higgins said a new study would likely need to be conducted before any additional steps could be taken. “We will have to determine if the See JAIL Page 14 Everything You Are Looking For

POLICE/COURTS

Cable TV theft Ocean City police officers arrested John Campbell, 29, of Ocean City for breaking into a residence and stealing multiple items on April 26. On April 11, police were dispatched to a residence where a breaking and entering had already occurred. Upon arrival, police met with the victim who said neither he nor anyone else to his knowledge had been in the apartment since mid-December. According to the report, two coin containers were missing about $280 and one of his cable boxes was missing. Police saw that the screen to the back spare bedroom window had been removed and a light was on inside the room. The last cable bill the victim paid was less than $20 until he received one for April totaling $465, the report states. According to the report, police saw cable wires coming from the building next door into a common area between the

apartments, and the victim suspected residents in the neighboring unit were using his stolen cable box through those connections. An investigation revealed the former residents of the building next door were forced out of the unit on April 1 when they overstayed their lease, according to the building manager. The report states Campbell told police he did not enter the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit, take a cable box or money belonging to them. A couple days later, Campbell allegedly confessed to having the cable box, but denied breaking into the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and could not explain how it came into his possession. According to the report, Campbell told police the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable box was hooked up to his residence and he ordered a wrestling program, which was allegedly on the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable bill for April. Campbell was charged with burglary of the first and fourth degree, two counts Continued on Page 16

Death of child

On May 2, Gary Gregory, 45, of Pittsville, Md. and Keith Wilkerson, 47, of Felton, Del. were arrested for affray and disorderly conduct. An Ocean City police officer reported that he was returning to his patrol car after a traffic stop when he heard loud screaming. According to the report, police saw a crowd surrounding Gregory and Wilkerson as they swung and tried to throw one another to the ground. Officers broke up the fight and the report said both men showed signs of intoxication.

Kevin Sewell, 27, of Pocomoke City was arrested for second-degree murder and first degree child abuse on Monday following a Sunday incident that led to the death of a three-year-old. State Attorney Beau Oglesby said the details of the investigation cannot be released, but they can confirm the little boy was left in the care of his uncle, Sewell. While the child was left with Sewell, he received multiple injuries that resulted in the child being placed on life support. He died Sunday afternoon at The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of the Kings Daughter in Norfolk, Va., according to Oglesby. Sewell is being held without bond at the Worcester County Jail.

Disorderly intoxication Gregory Kern, 55, of West Ocean City was arrested on April 27 for disorderly intoxication and endangering the property of the Ocean City Police Department. A police officer was called to a convenience store to check on the welfare of a person lying in the parking lot. After arriving, police saw Kern lying down on the ground and concluded that he had been drinking. Police arranged for a cab ride for Kern, who reportedly refused the service. As he was apparently not cooperative and unable

Affray

Domestic assault David Kimmel, 39, of Baltimore was arrested on May 2 for domestic assault. Ocean City police were dispatched to 123rd Street in reference to a 911 dial and hang-up. The victim told police she had gotten into an argument with Kimmel and when she tried to leave the apartment, he allegedly grabbed her wrists. She states in the report that he proceeded to push her into a couch and strangled her for about three seconds. The domestic assault allegedly caused scratches to the victims face. Police observed two bleeding scratches on her face and a red bruise on her cheek, according to the report.

MULLICAN QUICKSTEP LAUZON ANDERSON

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher (May 8, 2015) To clarify, Steve Carullo, the new owner of de Lazy Lizard on the bayside at First Street downtown, did take out a tiki bar, but not THE tiki bar. Rather, he eliminated the small one on the northern edge of the property because it was never supposed to exist under the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor license in the first place. Similarly, Carullo pledged to the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners in April that the establishment would have no dance floor and that would be because there never really was one. Finally, he does want the complexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old customers to return when the restaurant-bar-and-marina complex opens. What he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want are certain underage ones who used to attempt to drink there illegally by sneaking in via a multitude of entrances, which he is reducing to just two. All these things, however, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch what Carullo and his management team envision for the bayfront bar and grill, which they are racing to open by either this weekend or next. Among the

improvements they are concentrating on is making the restaurant as much of a draw as the bar has been. Mitchell Cook, corporate chef for Carulloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ocean City properties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dead Freddies in the midtown and a new restaurant planned for the former Hooterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on 123rd Street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has assembled a menu that emphasizes fresh seafood. Some of it, such as the wasabi tuna steak, will suggest a hint of an Asian influence, while other fare, like the blackened rockfish taco, crab cakes and conch fritters, will be more traditional and items such as the blackened scallops flat bread pizza and the fried avocado will show the creative side of the kitchen. The emphasis Carullo and his team are placing on food is best illustrated by their decision to rip out the old kitchen completely and outfit it with new appliances throughout. Cook said another area of concentration will be getting food out quickly and efficiently by instituting more efficient organization throughout the process. The restaurant will serve lunch, dinner and, in a nod to new managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to attract more families, the main building will have a restaurant side and a bar side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 21 and older can go to the bar side,â&#x20AC;? Carullo said, adding that the unSee NEW Page 20

Steve Carullo, new owner of de Lazy Lizard, said it will be the same bar and grille everyone fell in love with, but with a number of improvements.

New additions coming to Lizard Continued from Page 18 derage patrons will be welcome, but on the restaurant side only. As for the bars themselves, General Manager Jen Robins and Carullo agreed that these have done well in the past year and they should be able to build on that this year, what with daily happy hours, a pair of signature drinks – the watermelon crush and the Lizard Blizzard – and cocktail service available at the dozens of Adirondack chairs placed near the tiki and main bars. While Robins will focus on the bar aspect of the business, General Manager Ben Vatavuk will look after the Lizard’s operational matters. This will include

adding new features, including a children’s play area and a separate pavilion where special events such as weddings may take place. The Lizard has been approved for live entertainment this year and will also offer boat docking and personal watercraft rentals, while both the Sea Rocket and the sailing catamaran, Ka Motion, will continue to call it home port. Until the season begins in earnest, De Lazy Lizard will operate from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Thursday through Sunday. “We want people to know they’re coming back to the same Lizard,” Carullo said, but a Lizard with a number of improvements.

WORLD WAR II

V-E Day’s 70th anniversary, today Coordination among Soviet, Western Allies complicates surrender of Nazi Germany

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (May 8, 2015) Today, 70 years ago, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, representing the German Reich, executed the surrender documents in Berlin, ending the war in Europe. Preparations for this day had begun a year earlier, when U.S., Soviet and British representatives had proposed, “ . . . that the capitulation of Germany should be recorded in a single document of unconditional surrender.” It was also suggested that the unconditional surrender be signed by representatives of the German High Command to avoid the “stab in the back” myth that was used by the Nazis in their rise to power, since the WWI surrender documents had been signed by government representatives, while Germany maintained powerful armies in the field and still occupied part of France and most of Belgium. With der Führer’s death by suicide on April 30, 1945, the “1,000 Year Reich” came to an end. Even before his suicide, SS Obergruppenführer

After surrender, Gen. Eisenhower, right, seizes the hand of Soviet Gen. Susloparoff and says, “this is a great moment for us all.” But the surrender announcement was held up for Moscow approval.

Karl Wolff, commander of German forces in Northern Italy, had been in negotiations with the Western Allies to surrender forces under his command. These negotiations culminated in an agreement on April 29, providing for the surrender of German forces in Italy on May 2. This was followed, in rapid succession, by other commands facing the Western Allies.

Hitler’s successor, Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz dispatched Admiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg, now commander of the Kriegsmarine, to Allied headquarters at Riems, France, to negotiate a surrender with the Western Allies. The 2,000-year-old city is located 80 miles north-northeast of Paris and, today, has a population of 188,000. See WWII Page 22

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 21 Adm. von Friedeburg flew to Reims on May 5, but due to bad weather was forced to land at Brussels, where he was met and transported by car to Reims. He arrived shortly after 5 p.m., and was met by Gen. Walter Beedle Smith, Gen. Eisenhowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief-of-staff. There, he was told that any surrender must be: (1) unconditional; (2) to the Western Allies and to the U.S.S.R.; (3) executed by the military hierarchy. The Germans were desperately trying to hold off the Red Army as long as possible to allow as many civilians and soldiers to escape to Allied lines. After that information was relayed to DĂśnitz, he elected to send Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl, chief of the operations staff of the Wehrmacht High Command, to Riems, who arrived on Sunday evening, May 6. After futile negotiations with Generals Smith and Strong, Jodl requested permission from DĂśnitz to accede to the Allied demands, which was granted shortly after midnight. At 2 a.m., on May 7, 1945, Jodl, his aide, Major Friedrich Wilhelm Oxenius and von Friedeburg were led into â&#x20AC;&#x153;The War Roomâ&#x20AC;? of Allied headquarters. In the room, in addition to Generals Smith and Strong were American generals Karl â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tooeyâ&#x20AC;? Spaatz and Harold L. Bull; British Adm. Sir Harold Burrough, Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder and Lt.

Gen. Sir Frederick E. Morgan; Soviet Gen. Ivan Susloparoff, interpreters Col. Ivan Zenkovitch and Lt. Ivan Chermiaev; and French Gen. FranĂ§ois Sevez. Susloparoff had inquired of the Soviet government whether he could execute the document on behalf of the U.S.S.R., but had received no response to his inquiry. Having received no response, the general executed the document. By 2:41 a.m., French time, Smith had signed for the Western Allies and Susloparoff for the Soviets. Sevez signed as a witness. The one concession that the Germans had extracted was that the surrender would not be effective for another 44 hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at 11:01 p.m. on May 8, thus allowing more Germans the opportunity to escape the Red Army. A clause had been inserted calling for another signing if either of the Allied governments or the Soviet Union insisted. The Soviet Union notified Susloparoff that he had not been authorized to sign the document, recalled him to Moscow and exercised its right to a redo. Meanwhile, President Truman, on May 8, announced the surrender on national radio to a happy nation. Prime Minister Churchill did the same thing in Great Britain. Latter that evening, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, head of the Wehrmacht, executed another surrender docSee WWII Page 24

Ocean City holds hurricane prep meeting, May 13

(May 8, 2015) A community hurricane preparedness town hall meeting will be held 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, in the City Hall council chambers at the corner of Third Street and Baltimore Ave. The town hall meeting takes place during National Hurricane Awareness Week. The meeting offers an opportunity for citizens to learn more about hurricane preparedness, including how Ocean City tracks storms, evacuation planning, shelters and both individual and family preparedness planning. “Ocean City has a comprehensive emergency operations plan for the community and we continue to urge our citizens to have plans for their households,” Ocean City Emergency Services Director Joe Theobald said. “This community meeting provides an excellent opportunity for families to find out how they can be prepared during hurricane season.” Theobald will be joined by personnel from Ocean City Emergency Management and the Department of Planning and Community Development, who will address issues regarding preparedness, mitigation planning and flood insurance issues. For more information about the hurricane preparedness town hall meeting, call 410-723-6616 or visit http://oceancitymd.gov/Emergency_M anagement/

COUNTY BRIEFS

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) The Worcester County Commissioners also discussed the following issues during their most recent regular meeting.

OCDC presentation Executive Director Glenn Irwin and President Bob Givarz delivered a presentation highlighting the services and programs provided by the Ocean City Development Corporation The façade program, model block, seasonal housing for beach patrol and police, public art and painted utility boxes were all featured.

EA Engineering expenses

Bennett Realty 35725 Privy Lane, OCEAN VIEW

33690 Feather Lane, DAGSBORO

38096 Parker Road, MILLSBORO

Two bills from EA Engineering prompted Commissioner Joe Mitrecic to wonder if the engineering firm that does a substantial amount of business with the county was “nickel and diming us to death.” Public Works Director John Tustin disputed that assertion, defending the firm as reliable and trustworthy. An additional $6,321 had been charged to the county for a service extension related to inspection and administration services at the Mystic Harbour plant.

The commissioners were told by emergency services personnel that a report by Dr. William Gray of Colorado State University estimates a .01 percent chance of a category three or greater storm hitting the shore this season. However, he also predicted an 88.9 percent chance of the shore experiencing tropical storm force winds.

Library matching funds The state has notified the county that it will provide about $1.08 million in funds, provided the county matches this amount, toward the new Berlin library project. Budget Manager Kathy Whited noted that there is almost $1.6 million in assigned funds to support the project. Should the state reduce its funding amount, the county would do the same.

Effluent disposal design The commissioners, at their previous meeting, approved design work for the irrigation at Eagle’s Landing and to spend the county’s own on that phase with the promise of reimbursement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This week, they decided to advertise for the balance of the design

Insurance loophole closed County employees retiring with disabilities can breathe a little easier as the county tightened its code regarding health insurance after a loophole was discovered. An employee applied for state benefits, County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said, and was denied, which was then appealed. In the interim between the successful appeal and the denial, the employee’s job ended, leaving that person without insurance. The new process will allow employees to keep their insurance and will be applied retroactively to Aug. 31, 2013.

DAWSON REEVES TWINING Bishopville Dawson Reeves Twining, 27, of Bishopville, died unexpectedly on Sunday, May 3, 2015. Born March 7, 1988, he was the youngest son of David and Janet Twining, owners of Nantuckets Restaurant on Route 1 and the Lobster Shanty on Route 54. Dawson Twining Twining was a 2006 graduate of Stephen Decatur High School where he played varsity football and varsity golf. After high school, he attended Towson University. Dawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm for life, wonderful smile, infectious personality and charismatic way were well known to all who came in contact with him and will never be forgotten. He was always known to light up any room he entered. Whether it was working at his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; restaurants, attending a social function or playing on the golf course, he was always upbeat and had an unmistakable zeal for life. Known simply as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dawsâ&#x20AC;? to his close friends and family, he was an affable young man who was fortunate to have a large number of great friends in his life. He was a charming individual who touched the lives of many during his short time. He was the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;kidâ&#x20AC;? on Comcastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kidzone program and was the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monkey Man.â&#x20AC;? A message on the Lobster Shantyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marquee this week read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fly On Dawson, You Will Always Be A Part Of The Magic. We Love You.â&#x20AC;? Along with his parents, he is survived by his brother, Delaney, and his wife, Laura; his two dogs, Zelda and Stella; a large and extended family and many cherished friends. While shocked and distraught over Dawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, the family wishes to thank all those in the community who have reached out with heartfelt messages over the last week. They have been much appreciated. A funeral service will be held at noon on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the Bethany chapel of Melson Funeral Services, 38040 Muddy Neck Road, Ocean View, Del. 19970, where friends

may call from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Interment will be private. After the services, there will be a celebration of his life at Twiningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lobster Shanty on Route 54. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Believe in Tomorrow Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation, c/o Wayne Littleton, 13 66th Street, Ocean City, Md. 21842 or online at www.believeintomorrow.org/giving/ OLGA POHL LINDES Ocean Pines Olga Pohl Lindes, age 93, died Friday April 24, 2015 at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. Born in Odessa, Russia, she was the daughter of the late Alexei and Helen Pohl. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, Harold Lindes. Surviving are her Olga Lindes children, Hal Lindes, guitarist for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dire Straits,â&#x20AC;? and his wife, Ricarda of Los Angeles, Ca., and Nina Willett, eight grade school teacher at SDMS, and her husband, Dave of Berlin. She was an adored grandmother to Kristina Belcher and her husband, Kevin, John Kevin Willett and his wife, Molly, Michael David Willett, Alexei Lindes, Staz Lindes, Misha Lindes and Evangeline Lindes. There are two great-grandchildren, Gavin John Belcher and Lindsey Anne Belcher. At age 20, while studying medicine at the prestigious Odessa University, Olga was captured by the German Army during the siege of Odessa and taken to a labor camp in Hamburg. Her family perished in the siege. Employing her knowledge and skill in medicine, she was able to survive the labor camp and through the kindness and protection of a German couple who had befriended her, was able to avoid being sent on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;death trainâ&#x20AC;? back to Russia. At the end of World War II, Olga met Harold Lindes and the couple wed in August 1948. In 1951, they boarded a boat headed for Ellis Island, N.Y., where she worked as a seamstress for a designer fashion house, and taught herself English. Continued on Page 32

KARA HALLISSEY/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Planet Maze, the 33rd Street one-stop shop features an 18-hole Lost Galaxy miniature golf course, an arcade, state-of-the-art Lasertron and an indoor climbing wall and maze for children. Planet Maze celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Planet Maze still entertaining kids, adults after 20 yrs.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) The Albright, Thaler and Gordon families are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Plant Maze in 2015, which they opened in 1995 to host parties for their young children during the offseason months when nothing was open in Ocean City to entertain youth. The 33rd Street one-stop shop features an 18-hole Lost Galaxy miniature golf course, an arcade, state-of-the-art Lasertron and an indoor climbing wall and maze for kids. “We wanted to make a place where kids and families could come participate in activities together,” owner Rina Thaler said. “Laser tag was new at the time and we thought it would be cool to introduce it in Ocean City.” The original facility had an outdoor climbing maze, entertaining the children while parents watched on a deck overlooking the play area. Older kids were always having a ball playing laser tag, Thaler said. In 2000 the owners decided to add an activity where kids of all ages, par-

ents and even grandparents could enjoy together, replacing the outdoor maze with the 18-hole Lost Galaxy Golf course complete with aliens and flying saucers. “Ocean City appeals to families, and Planet Maze is a family place with

the arcade, laser tag, golf and maze,” Owner Jamie Albright said. “Customer service is important, especially since sometimes the challenge is to make people happy during a rainy day at the beach.” See ANNIVERSARY Page 36

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 8, 2015) The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) announced the release of two new initiatives this week, the Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) You’ve Earned It! initiative, and the Lower Shore Maryland DoublePlay program. You’ve Earned It! is open to potential homebuyers with more than $25,000 in student loan debt who are buying a home in one of Maryland’s Sustainable Communities through the MMP. Borrowers receive a 2.75 percent discount on the MMP’s fixed rate 30year mortgage, and $10,000 in down payment assistance in the form of a zero-percent deferred loan. Maryland’s Sustainable Communities are regions across the state where governments, business and communities coordinate investments to achieve sustainable growth, good jobs and thriving neighborhoods. DHCD has created an online mapping tool to help buyers identify whether a property is in a sustainable community simply by entering a street address. The DoublePlay program, running through July 5, is a special incentive for borrowers who are purchasing a home in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties. The program offers an interest rate .25 percent below each of the regular MMP interest rates for conventional and government insured loans. The interest rate reduction cannot be used in conjunction with some of the other programs offered through MMP, including the Maryland HomeFront program or the refinance program. The DoublePlay program can, however, be used in conjunction with the Maryland Home Credit Program that provides eligible homebuyers with a federal tax credit that may be claimed annually, the value of which is equal to 25 percent of the value of mortgage interest payments (up to $2,000) paid each year, for the life of the loan (i.e. until payoff, sale, refinance or transfer). To learn more about either of these programs, and/or the eligible areas for the You’ve Earned It! Program visit www.dhcd.maryland.gov.

Anniversary party continues with contest at Planet Maze Continued from Page 35 Planet Maze also supports nonprofits and youth initiatives including the Play It Safe program, Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House on 66th Street, programs at the Ocean City recreation department, the Susan G. Komen initiative, Diakonia and programs for autistic children. The facility has expanded, upgraded and improved its offerings every year since opening, including the addition of a private party room built upstairs to accommodate the abundance of children’s parties. “We can make it as sophisticated as possible to a kid’s birthday party for an 8-year-old,” Thaler said. “We are very flexible with our customers and will cater to them with private parties.” This year Planet Maze upgraded to a Lasertron system, adding LED bulbs and new suits. Thaler said the suits are lighter, numbered and flash different colors throughout the 15minute game. During the game, participants are divided into two teams, with each watching a two-minute video explaining how to play before entering the air lock chamber. Players receive 100 shots and 10 lives before they must return to a charging station. Music plays while participants walk through a 3,000 square-foot room full of fog, laser beams and decoys while shooting opposing team members and their targets to achieve the most points. At the conclusion an in-depth scorecard with game statistics is printed out as memorabilia. During the off-season Planet Maze opens on weekdays for private parties. Thaler said every themed party imaginable has taken place at the facility, including bachelorette parties, summer camps, after-proms, church groups, staff parties, family reunions, New Year’s Eve parties and team building sessions. Private parties come with a reserved party room and hostess to serve guests throughout the celebration. Different packages are available for the climbing maze, Lasertron and miniature golf with extras including food and arcade tokens. “They have the fun, we will do the rest,” Thaler said. “For every age … we can accommodate everyone’s pleas-

ure whether it’s too hot or raining, at nighttime or after dinner.” The owners emphasized how keeping Planet Maze affordably priced is essential so people can afford to indulge in fun. Attendees pay $7 for an all-day wristband for the climbing maze. One game of Lasertron costs $10. “It starts with the young kids looking inside the tube at older people playing laser tag and they grow up,” Owner Rina Thaler said. “Kids as little children come back with their kids.” At a recent anniversary party, Thaler said original employees who started dating when they worked at the facility came back with their own children, representing “a second generation at Planet Maze.” “It was a great turnout and we were very flattered,” Albright said. “It was great to see what it means to others, people were lining up to get in,” Thaler added. If you missed the party, Planet Maze is still giving customers the chance to share memories and pictures from previous years, as well as enter for a chance to win prizes, including the grand prize of one-year free admission for up to four people, their photo in a future ad or window display, and an iPad courtesy of Comcast Spotlight. To enter, submit a photo of fun times at Planet Maze. Each submission receives a buy-one, get-one free game coupon. Planet Maze will choose one photo each month, with the winner receiving a free month of play for one person at Lost Galaxy Golf, laser tag or the climbing maze. Monthly winners will be entered into one final contest to be voted on by the public. Photos can be submitted at planetmaze.com/20th-anniversarycontest. Customers can also enter the drawing by filling out an entry card at Planet Maze during each visit. One winner will be randomly selected each week and will win one free day of play including laser tag, miniature golf and the climbing wall. Planet Maze is open every day, year-around and on the weekends during offseason months. For more information visit planetmaze.com or call 410-524-4386.

Three ‘Hooked’ locations offer up twists on classics

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) With the “Hooked” empire entering five years in the Maryland/Delaware area, the ocean-to-table restaurants continue to rack up awards without succumbing to pesky things like pretention, or extremely high price points. Owners Steve Hagen and Kevin Frey opened the flagship restaurant, Off the Hook, in Bethany in 2010, followed by Just Hooked in Fenwick Island in 2011, and Hooked, in Ocean City, in 2013. Executive Chef Matt Cornelius develops the menus at all three locations. “I signed on with the company three months after the original location opened,” Cornelius said. “The original chef, Steve Hagen, his vision was to create a company with many restaurants that offers higher-level food at a reasonable price.” What Frey brings to the table, according to Cornelius, is an architect’s touch. “He’s a contractor by trade and had never been in the restaurant business before,” he said. “Kevin basically did all of the build out himself with just a handful of people. The guy is nothing short of amazing.” Cornelius is especially fond of Frey’s handiwork inside Just Hooked in Fenwick, where guests can see inside the kitchen through the dining area. “The whole concept of the open kitchen is pretty awesome,” he said. “People really enjoy seeing that, where literally I’m standing probably two or three feet away from you and cooking your dinner. There’s always been that barrier between the guests and the kitchen, and I think they understand and appreciate their food a lot more because they see the hard work that goes into it.” A Philadelphia native, Cornelius brings the culinary tradition of French fusion restaurants like Le Bec-Fin, Striped Bass and Bliss to the table. Admittedly, he harbored a hint of trepidation during his initial transition to the Eastern Shore. “I was a little nervous coming into it because I’ve tried before and it didn’t necessarily go over well in other ventures that I had, but I tell you what, I can’t say anything better about the Bethany following that we created. They really embraced us, and they embraced me as a chef.” Cornelius said the reputation followed the company to Fenwick, where Just Hooked was named best restaurant three years running, and then to Ocean City, where Hooked recently received a best drink list nod. “They do a fantastic job,” Cornelius said, adding the location brings “its own little ambiance with the beautiful upstairs bar and wide-open seating. The Tiki bar inside is great for the customer, because we can have long waits down there during the summer. If we get jammed they can order a little snack and get a cocktail. A guest that has a cocktail in their hand when they’re waiting is a

little bit less frustrated than one that doesn’t.” All three locations feature an abbreviated menu, just one page, along with a rotating cast of specials. The buttermilkbattered calamari, served with a spicy Japanese mayo, could be considered the flagship dish. “That’s been our claim to fame for a while,” Cornelius said. “That Japanese mayonnaise that we get – you can’t replicate it. There is no recipe in existence. I’ve tried. There’s just something about it that’s just awesome. “Something as simple as that, the calamari, is what we like to hang our hat on,” Cornelius continued. “It’s something that’s great and familiar and brings people back to try some of the other new things that we’re doing.” Thursday is the big night in Ocean City, when Hooked offers $2 fish or shrimp tacos, along with $5 burgers. “That’s one of our mega-nights no matter what,” Cornelius said. “People come in and we’ll do 500 tacos and 90 burgers. We enjoy being that place that people come to on those certain nights, and it gets them here and it gets them familiar with the place and then they come back and they bring their family.” The same special is available at the Fenwick and Bethany locations on Monday nights. Hooked and Just Hooked introduced new menus last month, including twists on classic dishes like shrimp and grits, which makes good use of massive U-8 shrimp that Cornelius compared to “mini lobster tails.” “That great thing about our menu is that we shrunk it so we can offer rotating specials and different things, so whatever is in the market we can make use of,” Cornelius said. “We want to switch it up and offer our guests a new experience they haven’t had.” Up next, the Hooked crew is working on a sports bar themed restaurant in Ocean View, due later this year. “Basically we just want to make it a community place where people can come and have fun with the family,” Cornelius said. “We’re going to put in some neat sandwiches and meat appetizers. Probably not a lot is going to be healthy.”

During an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at La Quinta Inn and Suites on Tuesday, Sal Fasano, left, Rajiv Trivedi and Salvador Fasano, right, take a moment to pose for a picture with the 32nd Street hotel’s trophy for best new construction. It won the honor during the hotel chain’s annual national conference and awards this past March in Orlando.

New La Quinta in Ocean City already winning nat’l awards By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) La Quinta Inn and Suites on 32nd Street won Best New Construction during the hotel chain’s annual national conference and awards held in Orlando in March. “We won out of all the new La Quintas on the east coast, which encompasses the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions,” Sal Fasano, owner of the 32nd Street location said. A best new construction award was given to a La Quinta on the west coast as well. On Tuesday, La Quinta held an open house and ribbon cutting for chief officers, company executives and community members who could not make it to the wintertime grand opening, complete with a tour of the rooms and outdoor pool area. “Its good publicity and we are hoping to have a good turnout since it’s supposed to be a nice day,” Fasano said. Fasano said La Quinta has increasingly become busier as the summer months come rolling in. “It’s been steady during the week and we have been selling out on the weekends,” he said. “We’ve had positive reviews on all trip sites and part of that has to do with guests being able to bring

pets. It’s been great so far and we are eagerly awaiting the summer.” Ocean City’s newest hotel opened in late November and its 101 guest rooms feature plush bedding with a choice of a king or two queen beds. The hotel is nonsmoking and pet friendly, and also has 26 deluxe rooms and suites with full kitchens and living room areas with a pull out sleeper sofa.

New partnership brings ‘fresh’ take to WOC restaurant

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Shrimp Boat owner Joe White, who recently took over Captain’s Galley in West Ocean City, announced his intention to combine his two staples and offer fresh dishes, including fish, on a daily basis at the waterfront restaurant. White and three partners, attorney Hugh Cropper IV, Ocean City Realtor Ken Church and Dr. Jeff Greenwood, who practices emergency medicine in Berlin, purchased the waterfront restaurant last month. “The atmosphere will remain the same, [but] the fresh mindset from the Shrimp Boat is what’s going to make all the difference,” White said. White said Captain’s Galley would introduce a new menu with an emphasis on ‘fresh.’ Hand-cut steaks, juicy burgers, fresh tuna and flounder caught on the Atlantic are sure to be favorites, according to White. White said he planned on “taking it to another level” this season by listening to customers and tweaking the menu accordingly, adding things like fresh seafood and craft beer on tap. A portion of the menu will change each day, depending on what is available.

Regular customers of Captain’s Galley will be happy to find out their crab cakes will not be touched, generous portions will still be served, and they will see familiar faces since the

staff remained the same. Dew and Michelle Hanson built Captain’s Gallery, originally called “Mast,” in 1984 on Harbor Road. The Hansons later changed the name – but

kept the popular crab cake dinners. When the pair mulled retirement, they sought a local group to take over ownership, according to White. All four of the new owners are local.

Worcester Prep boys’ lax team wins ESIAC title

Seahawks capture Bayside crown Decatur girls’ lacrosse team earns 9-7 win over Queen Anne’s to take title

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer and basketball teams captured Bayside Conference championship titles this year. Seniors Payton VanKirk, Jillian Petito and Ally Beck, and sophomore Lexie VanKirk, were members of both of those squads. The four girls also play lacrosse and their goal at the beginning of the season was to win their third Bayside title and complete the trifecta. The lacrosse team accomplished that feat, but it wasn’t easy. The Lady Seahawks took on the Queen Anne’s Lions on Tuesday at County Stadium in Salisbury and it was a battle. “It was quite a game. It was a hardfought game on both sides,” Decatur Coach Bob Musitano said after the Seahawks’ 9-7 victory. After Queen Anne’s scored three goals in six minutes, Musitano called a timeout to settle his players down because they were really pumped up, he said.

Musitano and Assistant Coach Michelle Fluty told the Seahawks they needed to protect the ball and win every ground ball. The timeout proved to be beneficial as the Seahawks netted five unanswered goals. Senior Blair Yesko kicked things off, scoring just over a minute later. Beck cut the lead to one and Payton VanKirk evened the score with nine minutes remaining in the first half. Lexie VanKirk and junior Elle Bargar provided Decatur with a 5-3 advantage, then Payton VanKirk made it 6-3 seven and a half minutes into the second half. Queen Anne’s logged its fourth goal before VanKirk struck again. The Lions netted three shots to tie the game 7-7 with nine minutes on the clock. While each goal is important, Musitano said the one that proved to be the most significant was Beck’s, which gave Decatur an 8-7 advantage with 7:40 remaining. She scooped up a ground ball in the defensive end and sprinted up the field. “She had five girls on her. They chased her as she circled around and then she banged it in,” Musitano said. “She has unbelievable speed. I think [the goal] was a backbreaker for them.”

Yesko provided Decatur with an insurance goal with 4:15 to play. Sophomore Brigitte Ardis was awarded a free position shot and, instead of taking the ball to goal, she passed to Yesko who finished it. The Seahawks worked to run down the clock and secure the victory and a Bayside title. “I thought the girls played well. Team defense was awesome,” Musitano said. “They had a game plan and they worked hard.” Payton VanKirk led Decatur with three goals. “I think I can speak on behalf of Lexie, Jillian and Ally and say winning the Bayside championships in all three sports, especially against a very talented Queen Anne’s squad, is just an amazing feeling. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to call these three girls teammates and best friends,” she said. “We have definitely an unbreakable bond that I will always remember. I am so lucky to play with people who push me to be better.” Winning the lacrosse Bayside title is a moment VanKirk said she will cherish forever. She said it was incredible when her teams won the Bayside championship in soccer and basketball, but lacrosse was, “just the See MUSITANO Page 40

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team’s season came to an end Wednesday with a 17-8 loss to the Calverton Cougars in the semifinal round of the Metro Independent Lacrosse League. “We fought all the way through the end. They’re just a really good team,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. Calverton scored five goals in the first quarter. At halftime in Huntingtown, the Cougars led 10-3. Freshman Brendan Miller had two of Worcester’s goals and sophomore Patrick Petrera had one. Junior captain Wyatt Richins scored the Mallards lone goal in the third quarter. After three, Calverton was ahead 16-4. Worcester tallied four goals in the final quarter, courtesy of Richins (two), Miller and Petrera, and held Calverton to one. Assistant captain Wade Walter, a junior, recorded 11 saves in goal for the Mallards. “I felt we played some of the best offense we’ve played all year,” Gates said. “We cleared the ball better than we have been, too.” Worcester advanced to the MILL semifinals with a 16-4 victory over the Salisbury School Dragons on Monday in Berlin. Since Worcester and Salisbury were the top two teams in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, Monday’s games was not only the MILL quarterfinals, but it was also the ESIAC championship. The Mallards led 8-0 at end of the first quarter and 12-0 at the halftime break. Walter stopped four Salisbury shots in the first half. Freshman Jack Fager took over in the goal in the second half, making four saves. “We were a little lazy at the beginning, but then they picked it up and played very well,” Gates said. Miller and sophomore Reid Carey scored four goals apiece. Richins had three goals and Staton Whaley, a junior, chipped in with two goals. Petrera and freshman Porter Bunting netted one shot each. Junior assistant captain Ross Dickerson won 11 of 14 face-offs, scooped up 10 ground balls and scored one goal. The victory earned the Mallards their seventh consecutive ESIAC championship trophy. Worcester finished the season with a 12-4 record. “It was a great year. All of the teams See TEAM Page 40

Musitano: They understand what they need to do to win Continued from Page 39 sweetest victory of all.” “It has been an amazing ride with this lacrosse team this year with a lot of big wins against tough competitors. This is the first year since the 2015 class started at Decatur that we have been able to dominate in the Bayside and winBob Musitano ning was honestly a cherry on top for all of us,” VanKirk said. “I am so incredibly proud of my team. Everyone has played a big part in our success by stepping up and playing so well, and most importantly playing as a team. We are deep in talent, hustle and heart and I think this year we have all of the tools to make school history.” Yesko and Beck chipped in with two goals apiece. Bargar and Lexie VanKirk tallied one each. Petito stopped eight Queen Anne’s shots. “I knew [it] was going to be a really hard game,” Petito said. “I knew that they all had good hard shots with good placement and that I needed to play really well.” Petito said it is “beyond exciting” to win the lacrosse title, and to be able to share it with all the girls on her team is even better. Capturing three titles in one year is a huge accomplishment, she said. “We aren’t sure if it’s ever been done before, but I think it’s a pretty cool thing to say that we won three

Bayside championships our senior year,” Petito said. The Seahawks go into the regional tournament with a 13-0 record and a No. 1 seed in the 3A East Section I bracket. They received a first-round bye and will host the No. 4 James M. Bennett Clippers today, Friday, at 4:30 p.m. When Decatur and Bennett went head-to-head on April 29, the Seahawks won 19-4. Going into playoffs with an unblemished record and a conference title “gives us a ton of momentum,” Petito said. “We are currently undefeated and we hope to keep it that way and make it all the way to the state final,” she said. “We are pumped up to start playoffs on Friday and hope the community will come out and support us in our game against Bennett,” VanKirk added. “For right now, we are still on cloud nine from our huge victory … but are going to take it one game at a time and prepare for each opponent with the same hard work and intensity that we have all season, staying super motivated by the hopes of a state championship.” If Decatur defeats Bennett, the squad will play the winner of today’s No. 2 Kent Island – No. 3 Parkside game on Monday in Berlin. “They really have come together,” Musitano said. “It’s nice to watch them play and encourage each other … They understand what they need to do to win.”

The team will lose only one player – senior assistant captain Will Pedigo – to graduation. “We should be very good next year,” Gates said, adding a number of talented upperclassmen will be returning and underclassmen will be back with a year of experience under their belts. Gates said a large group of eighth graders, who will be freshmen next year, could also give the program a boost.

Patnode: We have made vast improvements

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) Stephen Decatur softball Coach Heather Patnode has seen the Lady Seahawks get better day-by-day since the season began in early March, which bodes well as the team now competes in the 3A South Regional tournament. “We have made vast improvements over the season and have really learned the game, how to play with each other, and when and where to make the correct plays,” Patnode said. “We are still young and still

learning the game, but we are better than preseason and the first half [of the season].” Decatur finished the regular season 6-11 and received the fifth seed in the 3A South Region bracket. The Seahawks were scheduled to play the No. 4 Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel County in Pasadena on Thursday. “Playoffs are going to be tough as they always are. We play 3A schools in another area and to be honest, the game is different there. We unfortunately only have a few players that

play softball for teams other than high school where in our surrounding areas teams play together all year round,” Patnode said. “They have the advantage of knowing and playing with each other more. We have, Heather Patnode however, learned and grown enough in this season to help prepare us to be successful and competitive during playoffs.”

To have a successful post-season, Patnode said the Seahawks need to “play seven great innings.” “We tend to have one ‘bad’ inning that can potentially take us out of the game. We also will need to make sure we hit and score early in the game and continue throughout. We have been practicing with game-like situations, live pitching and perfecting plays we use.” The winner will face the topseeded Northern Patriots of Calvert County on Monday in Owings.

Decatur track teams set to compete in regional meet By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Stephen Decatur boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outdoor track and field team finished third while the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; placed fourth during the Bayside Conference championship meet last Friday in Cambridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we did OK in the meet,â&#x20AC;? said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our boys fared about what I expected, maybe a little better. I was a little disappointed with our girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; results. I think we could have been in the top two, but we did not score enough points in some of our stronger events.â&#x20AC;? North Caroline won the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; competition with 144 points. Wicomico took second with 103 points and Decatur scored 69 points for third. Seahawks who placed in the top three in their individual events were: seniors Sean Velazquez-Alvino (110meter hurdles, 16.9 seconds, third), Parker Harrington (1,600 meters, 4:43.49, second; 800 meters, 2:01.95, second), juniors Hyun Chun (pole vault, 11 feet, second) and Brett Kim (pole vault, 11 feet, third) and sophomore Justin Longest (shot put, 40 feet 11 inches, second).

Longest, Harrington (800 meters), Chun and Kim earned personal records during the meet. Velazquez-Alvino, sophomores John Curtis and Avonte Purnell and freshman Montrel Moore finished third in the 400-meter relay race (47.92 seconds). North Caroline took top honors in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; competition with 153 points. Cambridge-South Dorchester was second with 92 points and Kent Island came in third (89). Decatur scored 85 points for fourth. Sophomore Bethany Williams was the only Decatur athlete to capture a Bayside title. She won the triple jump with a distance of 31 feet 7 inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really exciting for me to get first,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her previous best triple jump distance was 30 feet 10 inches. Williams said her right knee has been bothering her, but she seemed to forget about the pain on Friday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was Baysides and I wanted to see if I could get 31 feet,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. She got 31 feet 7 inches on her second of three jumps. Williams did not know she won the Bayside title until after she was called up to the awards podium and told she

Seahawks want third match-up with Bucs

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Stephen Decatur Seahawks were chomping at the bit for a rematch with Kent Island after falling to the Buccaneers 10-9 on March 30. The Decatur boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lacrosse team finally got that opportunity Tuesday night as the two squads went head-to-head for the Bayside Conference championship at Wicomico County Stadium in Salisbury. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, they struggled against the defending 3A/2A state champs and lost the battle 13-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play well enough to beat them. We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get our game started,â&#x20AC;? Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aggressive and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute â&#x20AC;Ś and they

were getting too many shots on Will [Hastings].â&#x20AC;? Kent Island scored three goals before Decatur senior captain Corey Gwin put his team on the board with a minute and a half left in the first quarter. The Buccaneers went ahead 4-1, but senior Jackson Mumford answered to cut the lead to two. At halftime, Kent Island led 5-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 5-2 at the half and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play well at all and we were still in the game,â&#x20AC;? Lathroum said. Senior captain Matt LeCompte scored about 40 seconds into the third quarter and Decatur trailed 5-3. After that, Lathroum said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we fell apart there for a whileâ&#x20AC;? as Kent Island went on a sixgoal run to pull ahead 11-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened to them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Worcester Prep tennis teams ESIAC champs Mallards win boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles conf. championship titles

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Worcester Prep girls’ and boys’ tennis squads swept the May 1 Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference tournament in Centreville, winning both singles and doubles championship matches to take home team titles. Three out of the four finals matches consisted of Worcester Prep players. The Lady Mallards captured their 10th consecutive ESIAC team title. Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said after two big 6-1 victories over Parkside and James M. Bennett last week the Mallards were peaking at the right time going into the tournament. Senior Tatjana Kondraschow went undefeated in singles competition, outscoring Saints Peter & Paul’s Ashley Wagner 8-2 to win the title. “She played her twice this year so she knew what to expect,” Hudson said. “She played really well. I was really tickled for her. She did a great job.” In the all-Worcester Prep doubles final, senior Mattie Maull and junior Isabel Carulli topped senior Natalie

Twilley and junior Erika Smith 8-1. The only game Maull and Carulli – who both played singles this season – lost all day was to their Prep teammates. The pair won their other two matches 8-0. “It was tough to watch as a coach,” Hudson said of the all-Worcester final. “They had fun playing each other. I’m happy with their level of play. There was much more talent and skill shown than in any other [doubles] match.” Senior Quinn Lukas went 3-0 in singles play to earn the title. He logged an 8-1 victory over teammate Zach Wilson, a sophomore, in the championship round. “Quinn’s game has changed dramatically since the beginning of the season,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “He really mixes it up and waits for his shots. He’s been on his game. His No. 1 goal this season was to be No. 1 overall.” Underkoffler thought both players performed well. “They were outstanding. It was great to get them both in the finals,” he said. “Once Quinn got up 4-1, Zach was a little out of gas because he had a harder road to get to the finals.” Seniors Kyle Chandler and Erik Zorn, who both played singles this season, teamed up for doubles competition to defend their 2014 title.

The pair won their first two matches easily, 8-0, then had a break before facing fellow Mallards, senior Chris Choy and junior Charlie Pritchard, in the finals. Choy and Prichard fought to 8-6 and 8-5 victories to advance to the championship match. “They worked hard to get to the finals,” Underkoffler said. About 15 minutes after their last match they had to take the court against Chandler and Zorn, who were well rested, Underkoffler said. Zorn and Chandler edged out their opponents 8-3 to take home their second consecutive doubles title. “They’re experienced and athletic and they win a lot of points at the net. They’re hard to beat at the net,” Underkoffler said. Players who advanced to the finals were named to the All-ESIAC First Team. The boys’ and girls’ singles champions – Kondraschow and Lukas – received Conference Player of the Year honors. The Lady Mallards finished the year undefeated, 13-0. “They had goals and they worked toward them,” Hudson said. “The returners were strong and the [six] new girls made significant progress. They were smarter about placement and shot selection and they were thinking about what they were doing.”

The squad will lose seven players to graduation, most of whom were in the starting line-up. Despite losing key contributors, Hudson thinks the team will be strong next season. “I’m looking forward to it,” she said. The boys’ team went 10-3 this season. It was the first time in six years the boys captured the ESIAC team title. “They improved a lot over the course of the season. Each and every one of them got better,” Underkoffler said. “They boys had a lot of fun playing and that kind of enthusiasm spreads.” Underkoffler said he enjoyed his first season coaching the boys’ team. He has coached soccer for 36 years See PREP Page 44

Seahawks fall to Colonels, 1-0, in Bayside title game

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Stephen Decatur baseball team came up short in Tuesday’s Bayside Conference championship game, falling to the Colonel Richardson Colonels 1-0 at Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. Colonel Richardson scored the lone run in the top of the fourth inning. “Each team only had two hits apiece,” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said. “We had the bases loaded in the first with one out, but could not get a run across. Caleb Johnson, the pitcher from Colonel, mixed up his pitches well and threw a sharp breaking ball.” Decatur has an 18-2 record going into the post-season. Regional tournament action is set to kick off today, Friday. The Seahawks were awarded the No. 1 seed in the 3A South Regional bracket and a firstround bye. They will play the winner of today’s game – No. 4 Huntingtown vs. No. 5 Northeast of Anne Arundel –Monday at 4 p.m. in Berlin. “Its nice to have the first seed,” Ferro said. “We don’t have to travel on the bus for a long period of time. That helps with pre-game prep. The 3A South Region is tough with many tough teams.”

Baltimore Boxing presents Beatdown at the Beach, Sat.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Boxing fans that may have missed out on last weekend’s big match in Las Vegas will have another chance to see fights up close, right here in Ocean City, this weekend. Baltimore Boxing Promotions will be hosting a series of matches, titled “Beatdown at the Beach” at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center tomorrow, May 9 starting at 8 p.m. “It’s exciting and an adrenaline rush watching them in the ring,” said Baltimore Boxing Promotions owner Jake Smith. “Beatdown at the Beach” will feature Sam “Vanilla Gorilla” Crossed of Baltimore Boxing as he defends his East Coast Heavyweight title in the main event against a man who goes by KCE of Down Under Boxing in Salisbury. Crossed is the world record holder for fastest knockout. Rising star Joey “Bazooka Joe” Veazey of Baltimore Boxing will fight to retain his East Coast Junior Middleweight crown against Nigel Fennell of Down Under Boxing in Salisbury. Veazey has attained national and international rankings from various organizations with multiple tournament wins. Smith said Donald Wallace of Baltimore Boxing versus Ryan Watson, from

Worcester Prep girls’ lax squad eyes ESIAC crown

Main Street Gym in Salisbury will be a good fight. Eric Acosta from Main Street Gym in Salisbury will square off against Tommy Coe Jr. from Baltimore Boxing, both 10 years old. “The younger kid fight is a big draw,” Smith said. “They come in and just start throwing punches and the crowd gets into it. Both of these kids can fight.” Baltimore Boxing is donating funds to the Worcester County Humane Society and a 50/50 raffle will take place during the evening to raise money for the no-kill shelter. “There are so many great organizations out there that need help,” said Smith. “Animal shelters receive little or no funding even though they literally save the lives of animals and connect them with loving families. It is my pleasure to be assisting them and hopefully the money raised can go a long way.” An after-party will take place at Abbey Burger on 126th Street directly following the final fight with reduced drink prices and the chance to hang out with local celebrity boxers, Smith said. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the first fight starting at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. Tickets for ‘Beatdown at the Beach’ start at $25 and can be purchased at the convention center box office or on ticketmaster.com. Lower level seats are $50 and VIP will be $60.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 8, 2015) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team shut out the Salisbury School Dragons 19-0 on Wednesday in Berlin to advance to the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship match, today, Friday. “We played well and really worked on cleaning up our passing and feeding,” Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker said. The Lady Mallards scored 14 goals in the first half. Julie Talbert led the team with four goals. The sophomore made her debut on the field after being in a protective cast for a majority of the season due to a wrist injury. Captains Sophie Brennan, a senior, and junior Grace Tunis (three assists) contributed three goals each. Amy Lizas, a sophomore, added four assists and one goal. Worcester will host Saints Peter & Paul Sabres today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. for the ESIAC title. This is the third time the teams have met this year. The Mallards dominated the March 31 game, winning 15-3. They narrowly topped the Sabres 10-9 on April 17. “We definitely know it’s not going to be an easy feat to win for a third time, especially since we know how close it was the second time we played them,” Flounlacker said. “We are ready though. The girls know if we stay composed and play our game we’ll have a great chance of winning.”

Continued from Page 43 and has led Worcester’s boys’ squad for three seasons. Coaching a different sport is “refreshing,” he said, and with fewer players than a soccer team he can give athletes more individualized attention. “I inherited a great team. It’s nice to have all the tools to work with,”

Underkoffler said. “I had such a good time coaching them. It’s been an absolute pleasure.” Four of the 14 players on his roster will graduate at the end of the month. All of them were in the starting lineup. “We have some young guys coming up and a good nucleus coming back,” Underkoffler said.

cate meighan inside going out pringfest. No doubt one of the best festivals on the east coast and it’s right here in Ocean City. If you haven’t already found yourself wandering through the tents of food, arts and crafts, vendors and more, than you’re in luck because the fun will continue on in the OC Inlet parking lot through Sunday. A psychedelic performance by Beatlemainia kicked off the headlining acts on Thursday night and then the legendary Pat Benatar and her husband Neil “Spyder” Giraldo will be rocking the inlet on Saturday night. I’m not sure about you guys, but I’m really looking forward to that performance. While Springfest is pretty awesome here in OC, what’s on the other side of it might be even better. Of course, I’m talking about summer and unless you’ve been locked inside for the last week or so then you’ve probably been really enjoying the weather and itching for those long beach days. Things like Bike Week and the various Cinco de Mayo festivities earlier this week reinforce the fact that OC’s businesses are ready for summer, are you as well? It seems to me like each week here gets a little busier than the one before and I found myself running all over the place to gather info for you all on what’s happening in OC this week. If you have kids and are a local then you probably know exactly what Planet Maze is. The family fun center, located on 33rd Street and Coastal Highway celebrated its 20th anniversary last Saturday afternoon. Representatives from the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce were on hand to honor the owners– the Thaler, Albright and Gordon families–for their contribution to the area and to recognize how what was once a very small business has blossomed into such a large part of local business history. Rather than just celebrating amongst themselves, the staff threw one heck of a party and the general public was invited. If you were fortunate enough to be there then you were treated to complimentary laser tag, mini golf, pizza, cake and more. While there, I got to chat for a few minutes with See CATE Page 55

The 25th annual Springfest celebration kicked off Thursday and will run through Sunday in the inlet parking lot in downtown Ocean City.

Ocean City’s 25th annual Springfest runs through Sun.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Springfest, a fourday festival featuring food, live musical entertainment and arts and crafts, kicked off Thursday and runs through Sunday in the inlet parking lot in downtown Ocean City. “Springfest celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, which makes it a part of Ocean City history and it is fitting that it resides over Mother’s Day weekend,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. “There’s no better place to pull the family together and bring mom out for the day to enjoy her family with shopping, music, food and the fun of Ocean City’s Boardwalk and beach.” The first 500 moms to enter Springfest will receive a button pin with the 25th anniversary logo and a carnation. “We hope to see lots of moms coming down this year,” Miller said. Admission is free to Springfest, although headlining musical acts required tickets, but they are already sold out.

Visitors to Springfest enjoy live music during the final day of the 2014 festival. A total of 102,221 people made their way to the inlet parking lot for the four-day event last year.

The festival is in full swing with thousands of people from all across the country expected to attend and browse the 184 unique craft booths, eat at one or more of the 30 food vendors or listen to dozens of free concerts in the inlet parking lot. “For families, I cannot think of a more perfect way to spend Mother’s Day weekend then treating your mom to a day or night under the tents at

the inlet lot,” added Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Add on a free fireworks show to celebrate the 25th anniversary and I think it will be a Springfest that tops the list of memories for many families.” Last year, the event drew a crowd of 102,221. Miller said depending on the weather, the attendance numbers See PLENTY Page 50

Continued from Page 49 are usually above 100,000. The best year Springfest had was in 2004, when 118,000 came out to the fourday festival, he added. More than 250 artisan vendors will be on site selling photography, fine art, jewelry, decorative items and many more treasures. Come to Springfest hungry because at least 18 vendors will be inside the food tent dishing up a variety of tasty treats including dessert cakes, pizza, pit beef, ham and turkey, chicken tenders, corn dogs, chicken lo mein and wraps. There will be plenty of activities for children including inflatable bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, hair wraps, sand art and air brush tattoos. Dozens of free musical performances will be taking place all weekend from jazz to rock and blues. Visitors can catch free shows starting at 10 a.m. every day through Sunday, with OH BOY! A Tribute to Buddy Holly, Sir Rod, Rick K & The ALLNIGHTERS and Randy Lee Ashcraft & The Saltwater Cowboys lined up, just to name a few of the acts. Front Page News will close out Springfest on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. On Friday, May 8, a sold-out performance by country music star Vince

Gill will begin at 8 p.m. The final headlining act, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, sold out last week. They will be performing on Saturday at 8 p.m. At the conclusion of the Benatar and Giraldo performance there will be a 25th anniversary firework show on the north side of the pier. “Springfest is one of my favorite events of the year, as it is many of our residents and visitors as well,” Waters said. “Not only is it a sign that the summer season is coming, but it’s one of the first times of the new year to spend four days outside with the open ocean air, taking in the sounds of the entertainment, the smells of the Boardwalk and the sights of numerous arts and craft vendors.” 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. For more information on the shuttle service, call the Ocean City Transportation Department at 410-723-1606. Springfest runs today and tomorrow, May 8-9, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May, 10, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/springfest or call 800-626-2326.

Live music all weekend at 25th annual Springfest

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Springfest will be providing a variety of live entertainment on two stages all weekend long with sold-out headlining acts wrapping up the evenings. The 25th annual festival started Thursday and will have local performers and national acts beginning at 10 a.m. every day, now through Sunday. Most performances are free to the public. “It is a rare opportunity to attend a concert where you can hear the waves crashing on the beach between the sets,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Whether it’s our amazing headliners or the free shows on the outdoor stage, the entertainment at Springfest provides a perfect sound for the unique setting.” Thousands will congregate in Ocean City for Springfest, which will have more than a dozen acts, highlighted by three nights of nationally known artists on the Entertainment Pavilion stage. Country music star Vince Gill will play to a sold-out show at Springfest tonight. He has won 18 CMA honors and eight ACM awards. Since 1990, Gill has received 20 Grammys and has sold more than 26 million albums. Gill was inducted into the County Music Hall of See VINCE Page 51

I know we will have fun.” Dot Robinson of Pittsville has showcased her ceramics at the festival since its inception. “I have customers who come back and buy from me every year,” Robinson said. “It’s a local event and I do well at Springfest selling Ocean City, nautical and home items.” Artisan vendors will be selling everything from photography to fine art, jewelry, decorative items and

Jessie and Dan Driscoll, from Woodstock, N.Y., will be introducing their unique Made From Coins jewelry at Springfest for the first time this weekend.

The Doo Wop Project • May 14th

Craft and food vendors from across US attending festival many more treasures. “Springfest, just like Sunfest, pulls together arts and crafts vendors from all over the country including California, Florida, New Hampshire, Georgia, Michigan and Texas,” said Frank Miller, Special Events superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. “It is a terrific mix of talent, product offerings and just great people who want to share their creations with our attendees. Springfest, being the easier of the two shows to join, tends to be the first to add new products; so it is where you can see it first.” Jessie and Dan Driscoll, from Woodstock, N.Y., will be introducing their unique Made From Coins jewelry at Springfest for the first time this weekend. The jewelry is made from vintage American coins. They sand off one side of an old silver coin and transforming it into a design, which leaves the coin image intact on the reverse side. In addition, there will be a line of pieces that retain the coin image on both sides, Driscoll said. “We like to do shows near water, for the atmosphere and also because we feature some beach-themed designs such as sand dollars, starfish, dolphins and seahorses,” she added. Come to Springfest hungry because vendors will be inside the food tent dishing up a variety of tasty treats including pizza, pit beef, burgers, chicken, corn dogs, healthy wraps and sweets. “While the arts and entertainment of Springfest are a main attraction, some of our visitors will argue that the food at Springfest is really the shining star of the event,” said Jes-

With a wide variety of options, each Springfest food vendor offers a unique flare and authentic taste that every patron will love.” Visitors will have a variety of choices at Springfest, including Cheryl Kitchen’s natural nut butters. These all-natural nut butters have no additives or preservatives with plain and gourmet flavors including a spicy peanut butter, almond butter coconut chocolate, cashew butter and peanut butter chocolate, just to name a few. She is bringing her spreads all the way from Minnesota to Springfest for the first time this year. “Everyone loves Springfest and I was told if your product has mass appeal it should do well,” said Cheryl Gendler, owner of Cheryl’s Kitchen. “I found out Springfest was one of the top festivals in the United States and it sounded like a great event and my products would be a great fit.” Visitors will have the opportunity to find their favorite flavors with free samples all weekend. “We’re really excited, the weather is supposed to be great,” Gendler said. “Come down and sample whatever flavors you would like.” Springfest runs today and tomorrow, May 8-9, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May, 10, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/springfest or call 800-626-2326.

He spoke fondly of his nearly six years as an employee and how now, years later, Planet Maze still remains one of his best work experiences. He loves bringing his kids to visit the old stomping ground that still makes him smile. Last week I told you guys about Cars & Coffee, an event that was scheduled to take place on May 3 at Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli on 63rd Street and Coastal Highway and I’m happy to confirm that it was a complete success. Owner Warren Rosenfeld told me that their were 10 cars (and their owners) on site which is pretty good, especially when you take into consideration the fact that there were classic car events going on in Salisbury, Rehoboth Beach and Selbyville at exactly the same time. If you’re a classic car owner you’ll be happy to hear that Rosenfeld has decided to turn Cars & Coffee into a monthly event, with the next meeting happening on Sunday, June 7.

‘Take a Kid Mountain Biking’ Day this Saturday in Pines

(May 8, 2015) Ocean Pines may be flat, but local children can still get a taste of mountain biking during the community’s “Take a Kid Mountain Biking” Day on Saturday, May 9 from noon to 2 p.m. in Bainbridge Park. This free event will offer children ages 8 and up and their parents the opportunity to ride bikes off-road in a fun, non-competitive environment. It is presented by the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department and the Eastern Shore International Mountain Biking Association. Participants will learn the ABCs – air, breaks and chain – of bike riding. They will also get to try a basic skills course and then ride the bike trails that weave through Bainbridge Park in Ocean Pines.

Tres Denk and other members of the Eastern Shore International Mountain Biking Association will be on hand to offer helmet checks and instruction. Snacks will also be provided. Children and parents riding should bring helmets, bikes, gloves and closed-toe shoes. A limited number of bikes and helmets will also be available for use. Bikes with training wheels will not be permitted. Bainbridge Park is located off of Pinehurst Road near Ocean Pines’ north gate. Registration for the event is not required. For more information about this and other programs offered by the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department, call 410-641-7052 or visit www.OceanPines.org.

Md. Coastal Bays Program sponsors 15th Herp Search (May 8, 2015) Some physical changes to the environment — a building goes up or one comes down, a bay fills in, or a tree falls — are easy to spot, others require more subtle means of discovery. Ecologic forces are generally held in balance, but when something changes, symptoms appear. “Reptiles and amphibians are our most rapidly declining populations. We need a good data set of their numbers, because they act as our canaries in the coal mine,” said Dave Wilson, executive director of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. Forests on the lower Eastern Shore, Wilson said, are transitioning from hardwood to loblolly pine and are being impacted by real estate development. There are the overt effects of cleared land: increased runoff from impervious paving, habitat loss and migration issues. “Birds are easy to see and track and we’re used to seeing fish, but many of our reptiles and amphibians are just barely hanging on,” he said. The goal of the herp search, more precisely known as the Great Worcester Herpetological Search, is to produce an aggregate count of the number species as well as relative populations within specific areas of the county. In Worcester, there are approxi-

mately 19 species of snakes, 15 species of frogs and toads, six species of salamanders, 13 species of turtles and four species of lizards. This weekend’s search will provide data to help Department of Natural Resources scientists better understand population trends in this declining group of vertebrates. Last year, more than 80 reptiles and amphibians representing 15 species were the result of the search. Finds included ringneck snakes, racers and kingsnakes. Box and mud turtles were also found along with four species of frogs and toads. The 15th annual search will begin with a meeting at the Coastal Bays office at 9 a.m. Saturday, located at 8219 Stephen Decatur Highway, a quartermile south of Frontier Town. A brief pre-hunt training session will feature live turtles, snakes, frogs, and salamanders and explain ways to identify them in the wild. It is free to the public and will be held to prep volunteers for searching three sites in the morning and one in the afternoon. “At the meeting you can discuss which site will have certain species, and then you can use that information to select what site you want to visit. Go and see what you like,” Wilson said. Participants should bring lunch and See LOOK Page 62

Volunteers conducting the Great Worcester Herp Search last year discovered this Eastern Painted Turtle. This year’s version begins at 9 a.m. Saturday with a meeting at the Maryland Coastal Bays Program office at 8219 Stephen Decatur Highway, a quarter-mile south of Frontier Town.

The rough green snake is a common, nonvenomous, docile snake that frequently makes its home in moist meadows or woodlands near water. It is one of the species commonly found during the Great Worcester Herp Search.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Lessons learned through story of three young friends By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 8, 2015) This is a story about three young lives who befriended each other by chance; Little Suzie, a duck with one wing and a cocky chicken. The parable takes place at a small, modest farm located in Willards on the Eastern Shore. Dazzling blue sky is the backdrop for splendid reunions. Daffodils curtsy as tulips bid bonjour. Birds are chirping away and welcoming Mother Nature as another season comes into play. Luscious red tomatoes, sweet succulent corn and bountiful soybeans are a glorious blessing; the miracle of life is a manifestation that is privy for all to see. This livelihood is not meant for everyone but for those who relish simplicity, the land of good and plenty reaps many rewards. Time is relative and flavors our daily bread. How the duck and the chicken ended up at the farmhouse is uncertain, but they now have a place to call home and feel very fortunate. Everyday Little Suzie, the duck and the chicken go to the hen house to

collect eggs. She takes her chores very seriously and always reminds the duck and chicken to behave themselves. Little Suzie is the only child and has accepted the duck and chicken as her siblings. The duck has never revealed how he lost his wing. That being said, he has learned to compensate and does quite well. Relationships are unique and should not be judged by conventional standards. The chicken is very smart, but at the same time has an unbelievable ego. Knowledge is the willingness to learn and at the same time be open to suggestions. Assumptions and narrow mindedness close the door to progression. One day, the duck got enough courage to ask the chicken, “Why are you so arrogant?” The chicken responded, “why not. Since antiquity, we have been revered in religion and mythology. There are more of us than any other bird in the world. We have full-color vision; can you say that about your relatives? Our offspring are very important to us; a mother hen turns her eggs approximately 50 times in a day and can lay more than 300 eggs a year. Let’s face it, we are See CRISPY Page 64

Crispy duck eggs served with asparagus, Hollandaise Continued from Page 63 superior.” Chance is a degree of many variables and opportunity does not come around often. The duck thought for a few minutes and replied, “Obviously, you are so busy patting yourself on the back that you haven’t done your homework. I am proud to be a duck but I consider myself no better than my fellow birds. Would you like to hear some interesting info about my family?” All of a sudden the chicken felt a little embarrassed and said, “Yes.” The duck’s one wing spread with incredible pride. “We are charming chefs around the world. Duck eggs are larger and richer than chicken eggs, and are becoming the preferred choice by many cooks. The creamier yolk has more complexity and makes a better custard. Also, duck eggs tend to be a bit higher in albumen which creates a lighter texture when baking. Last but not least is the taste. Duck eggs simply have better flavor. Once one has experienced duck eggs, it is hard to go back to chicken eggs.” The duck paused for a few seconds and said, “Cooking is subjective, I hope we can still be friends.” From this point on, the duck and the chicken were inseparable. The duck with one wing learned the lesson of confidence and was finally was able to stand up for himself. The cocky chicken, on the other hand, learned a big word - humility. He also realized that chicken eggs are going to have to share the spotlight with duck eggs. Crispy duck eggs served with fresh asparagus, a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce, and an adornment of edible flowers is an elegant breakfast for your special mom. Happy Mother’s Day. Enjoy! Crispy Duck Egg Ingredients 1 package McCormick Hollandaise sauce 1 bunch fresh asparagus Join us for Mother's Day Dinner Service Begins at 2:00

8 duck eggs 2 chicken eggs 2 teaspoons of cold water 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour 4 cups Italian panko breadcrumbs canola oil for frying 1 cup edible flowers kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 1. Prepare Hollandaise sauce according to instructions. Cover, remove from heat, and keep warm. 2. Cut off tough ends of asparagus. Peel asparagus from the head to the base of the stem. Removing the tough skin allows one to control the texture of the asparagus. Steam until vegetables are al dente. Remove from heat and place on cooling rack. 3. Carefully lower duck eggs into a pan of boiling water and cook for 7 minutes. Run under cold water and peel the eggs. Dry with paper towels. 4. Whisk chicken eggs and water in a medium bowl. In a separate medium bowl, mix flour and panko. 5. Dip cooked duck egg into egg/water mixture. Allow excess egg/water mixture to run off. Then carefully roll duck egg in the flour/panko mixture. Lightly press to ensure a generous and even coating. Repeat this process for the remaining duck eggs. 6. Heat canola oil to 360 degrees. If one does not have a deep-fat fryer, heat enough oil in a heavy sauté pan to cover two-thirds of the surface of the eggs. Fry until all sides are golden brown. Place on cooling rack 1 to 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper. 7. Plating: Place asparagus on the side of the plate. Make sure they are lined with precision and drizzle Hollandaise sauce over them. Place two fried duck eggs opposite the asparagus. Think of yourself as an artist and decorate plate with edible flowers. Serves 4 Secret Ingredient - Greed. “We are rich only through what we give.” — Anne-Sophie Swetchine

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) Ocean City’s club Ultimate Frisbee team, Humiliswag, went undefeated all the way to the finals before falling 13-7 to the Warhawks, the Boston team favored to win from the start. Humiliswag had been seeded second, and team leaders knew it was going to be a challenge to win the first-ever beach national championship in Virginia Beach last weekend. “It was tough for us, because they all knew each other very well and were able to stay collected and scoring goals. They knew each others habits and had great chemistry on the field,” Tim Morrill said. Humiliswag has had several incarnations over the years, and this team had not been playing together for very long before the tournament. Bryant Dean was positive on the whole experience. “I mean, it’s always tough when you lose, but what an experience — it was very fun,” he said. “We were surrounded by a great group of individuals who are really motivated to get better and spread the sport.

Ocean City, Berlin, other shore spots featured in series

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 8, 2015) The Ocean City Boardwalk, Berlin and Assateague are just a few of the places that will be featured on a new series coming to PBS this fall called “Travels with Darley.” “I grew up in Myrtle Beach, and Ocean City for me is a bit nostalgic, as it reminds me a bit of my childhood at the beach,” said host Darley Newman. “It’s nice that adults and kids can enjoy a vacation in the same location, whether they want to ride amusement park rides, enjoy the peace of listening to the ocean or a nice stroll on the beach.” Newman said the other 30-minute episodes in the series are being filmed in the Caribbean, Europe and across the United States to ensure a diverse show full of incredible locations. “The focus of this episode is a family road trip and we thought that the Eastern Shore was a great place to enjoy activities and adventures for multiple generations of travelers, including art, culture, seafood, nature and beyond,” Newman said. While shooting in Ocean City last Saturday, Newman and her crew of seven walked the Boardwalk and

event co-chairwoman. The theme for this year’s overnight celebration is “Saving Lives Since ’85.” “The original Relay for Life was started in 1985 in Tacoma, Wash. by a man named Dr. Gordy Klatt. Therefore, it is the 30th anniversary of Relay this year. Sadly, Dr. Klatt lost his own fight with cancer this past year,” Hodge said. Each team will have its own campsite with water and electricity, courtesy of Frontier Town. All members will decorate using the ‘80s theme, in addition to incorporating preventative measures such as not smoking and eating healthy. Information about research, education and advocacy will also be ideas for the campsites, she added. Individuals and teams can register at the event starting at 4 p.m. and there is no fee to participate. As of Tuesday afternoon, 41 teams with 258 participants have signed up. Relay for Life will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and continue until 6 a.m. Saturday. The goal for 2015 is to have 130 survivors in attendance and to generate $160,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $90,319 has been raised as of Monday, Hodge said.

“We are thrilled to have teams and friends that return year after year,” she said. “Everyone is touched by cancer at some time in their life and in some way. It is often when they will turn to an event such as Relay for Life to find comfort, a place to celebrate they beat cancer and to grieve or fight back by fundraising so that one day their children will not have to hear ‘you have cancer.’” Participants have until Aug. 31 to submit their final donations and Hodge said “there is no better place to fundraise than a busy resort community.” During the 12-hour fundraiser, team members will take turns walking laps around the campground track. “We strive for each team to have at least one member walking the track throughout the night,” Hodge said. “However, this is not a requirement as teams will also be busy with on-site fundraisers and activities being held in the middle of the track.” Every time a registered participant walks a full lap, they receive a raffle ticket, which will enter them into a drawing for a large screen television donated by the Vault/the Voice Radio Network. The lucky participant will be announced at the 6 a.m. closing ceremonies and they must be present to win. In 2014, 47 teams and 311 registered participants, came out to Relay For Life, helping to raise about $145,000 for the organization. Another 100 unregistered people were in attendance last year as well. Throughout the past 17 years, North Worcester County’s Relay has donated more than $1 million to the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life’s 2015 opening ceremony kicks off at 6 p.m. Cancer survivors will walk the ceremonial first lap of the night, the “Survivors Lap,” while they are cheered on by other participants in celebration of their victory over cancer. Survivors will be joined by their caregivers for the second lap of the evening. Teams will display their banners on the third lap and children will walk during the fourth lap. In honor of Mother’s Day, the fifth lap is designated to moms and the sixth lap will honor breast cancer survivors. A reception for cancer survivors will take place at 6:30 p.m. after the first couple of laps with music provided by DJ Brian K. Hall from 93.5 The Beach. As an incentive to walk, there are multiple theme laps including “Revenge of the Nerds,” “Walking on Sunshine,” a friendship lap, “Orange Golf Race” and “Richard SimmonsLook Good Feel Better” (wear your wigs and short shorts). The final walk around the track will be the “BEEP BEEP” lap, which See CANCER Page 75

Brown Box Theatre Project presents ‘Boxer Shorts’

(May 8, 2015) Brown Box Theatre Project, presenters of the annual free Shakespeare at the Beach tour, returns to Ocean City with its spring production, “Boxer Shorts,” this May. “Boxer Shorts” is an evening of enchanting and interrogative short plays that explore the space between sleeping and waking, thinking and knowing, living and dying.

Commentary

Ocean City Today

Zoning change common sense

The Ocean City Planning Commission’s decision this week to work toward the development of a more restrictive zoning district for certain single-family home neighborhoods is likely to generate a snide remark or two. Propelled as it was by a petition from the Mallard Island neighborhood, the call for a zoning designation that would disallow short-term rentals there is almost certain to be met by characterizations involving snobbery, elitism and such. That is not the case, considering that Ocean City’s original zoning code made it clear that the R-1 single-family zone was not to include short-term tourist-related dwellings. It did so based on the premise that year-round residents who mostly earned their livings through tourism and related industries also needed to be able to get away from that hustle and bustle at the end of the day, or night. It was either that or encourage business owners and operators to live on the mainland instead of in the community where, as it happened, they were also civically engaged. From a political standpoint, maintaining a solid base of voting residents from the business ranks also made sense, as they would bring balance to any discussion that would otherwise be dominated by persons not necessarily attuned to the needs of visitors, which was and continues to be, the driving force of the resort economy. Although it has been argued that reclassifying the R-1 zone is a property rights issue, that could be said of all zoning classifications, which outline what can and what cannot be done in a particular district. Ocean City is always changing, as buildings go up and come down, businesses move out and businesses move in, but it remains that it does need to preserve that base of owners and operators who have a vested interest in the well-being of the resort economy. Having them relocate to quieter locations on the mainland over time will also mean losing the voice of business in local politics. (Disclaimer: the writer of this editorial lives on Mallard Island).

Letters to the editor Relay for Life celebration

Editor, Celebrating is usually a happy event. We just enjoyed Easter with candy, dyed eggs and families. Soon Springfest will be here with all the festivities with folks at the inlet, and then Mother’s Day comes where we honor our mothers, present and past. Celebrations come in many forms as stated above. To me the most heartwarming one is Relay for Life. Here we honor the lives of cancer survivors who have fought and won the battle of this dreaded disease. We also remember the ones who fought the battle and lost, but are still giving hope to everyone with love and faith that cancer will be defeated. On May 9, Relay for Life begins at Frontier Town, Berlin. Teams gather at their camp sites in preparation for recognizing the cancers survivors and their caregivers. This is my 11th year as a survivor, and the emotions continue to run high. All walks of life are represented, young and old, as well as all genders and races. We get together to fight this dreaded disease. We walk laps, we embrace each other with words of en-

couragement, and we shed tears together for our success and for those who lost their lives after a gallant fight. Every year I have the same feelings about the Relay for Life – joy for being a survivor, hope for others to beat cancer, and sadness for those who lost the fight. Everyone in life is affected by cancer. Cancer never sleeps. Help the American Cancer Society fight cancer by contributing. No amount is too small. A wonderful lady, Dawn Hodge, who works so hard for the Relay, gave me a quote from the great Helen Keller: “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Please, everyone, especially those who are battling cancer, keep fighting this disease. Love and Blessings to all. Nick Bartolomeo Selbyville, Del.

Baltimore troubles complex issue

Editor, Perhaps like me, you watched the unfolding events in Baltimore City [Monday] evening with a sense of sadness and concern. My son lived in the area of North Avenue for a year, and I had an

opportunity to see first-hand the situation there. I saw drug deals and prostitutes, school children and senior citizens going in and out of the stores. I saw people drunk, drugged up and scary looking. I saw a man selling carpets on the sidewalk of an old boarded up Baptist church. I saw row upon row of derelict houses waiting for demolition, and I saw new construction about a block or two away from North Avenue. My son said the poor had moved on so that the new housing could go up. I asked him where the poor went. He didn’t know. He lived on a section of the street with the new housing. His house was purchased by a young roommate who did the renovations himself. Their yard backed up to the yard of a house where gang members apparently lived. My son and his roommates played ball with them and felt like they were looking out for their property when they weren’t home. When I told my son I worried about his going home late at night, he told me that I worried too much. Baltimore City is complex. It has some of the best hospitals in the world, and some of the worst living conditions in Continued on Page 94

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Continued from Page 93 our country. Like many communities, many family and community structures seem to have broken down and people who would have been role models to some of its many street kids seem to have moved on. It’s sad when a city has to institute a curfew so that kids 14 and under will be forced to go inside on school nights. It’s sad that some young teens, especially young teen men, feel so disconnected from their community, and so angry about the conditions of their lives that they would destroy and loot the very businesses that are the lifeblood of their community. Into this very complex situation comes a word from God – in the actions of the 200 clergy persons who went out to the police, standing in front of them, offering hope and support. There were also others from the community who did the same, including men from the Nation of Islam who went to the stores that were being looted to try and talk sense into the situation. But when mob mentality rules, it’s hard to have a sensible conversation. What is the solution? How can we as God’s people, natives of Maryland, and supporters of our communities grapple with what seems so senseless to us? This is a question I believe we all must ask as we pray this morning after such a senseless night. What is God leading us to do in these complex

situations with no easy answers? I pray you will pray with me for all of those whose lives were disrupted by what happened yesterday. May God show us a way forward that is balanced, well thought out, and what God would want us to do. We in the Christian church are called to care. May we care for our brothers and sisters caught in the crossfire as well as those who perpetrate the violence. There must be a better way. May God show us what that is. Rev. Patty Frick, Pastor Atlantic United Methodist Church Ocean City

Planet Maze thanked for support

Editor, The Autistic Children’s Support Group of Worcester County would like to send out a special “thank you” to everyone at Planet Maze who helped to make our group event on April 19 so successful. There was a great turnout and the children enjoyed the ball pit, miniature golf and laser tag. Thank you for being so accommodating and for making the whole process so easy from beginning to end. It really meant a lot to the parents to have such a fun place to take our children where they could be themselves without worry. Thank you for that. The Autistic Children’s Support Group of Worcester County

PUBLIC EYE

Ball dissonance

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher Gaylord Perry, who threw more spitballs than a roomful of eighth grade boys, ended up in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was so good at it that he got caught just twice, and half the time he only had to fake throwing a spitball (more accurately, a grease ball) to completely unnerve a batter. And then, more contemporarily, there was Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers who had so much balldoctoring gunk on his pitching hand in game two of the 2006 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals that he looked like he’d been shining shoes between innings. Even Tommy John, the only pitcher not to have Tommy John surgery because it didn’t become Tommy John surgery until after he had it, was accused of doing something to the ball. We liked these guys, because, well, that’s just baseball. But football, that’s a matter of national security or something. So here we are today piling on quarterback Tom Brady, the Dudley Do-right lookalike who apparently has everything anyone could ever want except a

MAY 8, 2015

good grip on the ball in cold weather. That’s what the NFL investigation into his suspected use of under-inflated footballs concluded, with the league announcing this week that not only were the balls a little light in the air department, but that Brady probably knew about it as he went aerial in the New England Patriots’ January’s AFC Championship game against the Colts. The reason this is national news, though, is not because he cheated or that he emphatically denied wrongdoing. No, it’s because he is one of those no count, lying, stealing, smirking, sneer-ball playing New England Patriots. Besides, anyone that good looking is probably genetically engineered. See, we would forgive him if he was funny looking or with a losing team, say, like the Redskins, in which case we would say, “Yeah, he’s just trying to achieve a balance in air pressure by using an under-inflated ball for an over-inflated owner.” That has to be the reason. Otherwise, we would have to come down equally as hard on anyone who breaks the rules to gain an edge. Well, we should, you say? Fine. All we need to do now is figure out how to do that and have an elected Congress too. Come to think of it, maybe it would work if the refs squeezed all the candidates first.
