By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Two years after funding was first approved for the project, the city’s proposed new public boat ramp at 64th Street is still no closer to fruition due to a land acquisition battle. City Engineer Terry McGean was able to give scant details about the issue this week, given that efforts to acquire the property are currently under negotiation. McGean had previously told City Council that he would be providing them an update on the deal in a closed-session meeting. However, McGean did say that the new ramp’s design, completed last year, revealed that the project would need more space than would fit on the city’s land adjacent to the 64th Street wastewater treatment plant. “Most of it is on city property, but there is a piece we need to get…that is essentially an underwater property,” McGean said. Apparently, the city’s design calls for the ramp to extend into an area of water that is outside of the town’s parcel, and which it may not even have been aware was landed property given that the area is almost completely submerged beneath the bay. “In order to do a two-lane ramp, which is what we think we need, there is basically a piece of submerged land that we are trying to acquire the rights to,” McGean said. Until the city has the land, McGean cannot begin the lengthy state and federal permitting processes required for construction in a marine wetland. “You get permits from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers,” McGean said. “But there are probably another 10 agencies involved in the review.

The event was sponsored by Atlantic General Hospital’s Healthy Happenings, the Town of Ocean City and AARP Chapter 1917.

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) With Ocean City poised to be the site of Maryland’s first large-scale, offshore wind farm, the Business Network for Maryland Offshore Wind is working to connect potential business partners with wind farm developers. The Network launched its supply chain portal — a listing of businesses from logistics companies to landbased contractors —a month ago, but 75 companies have already signed up for the free service, said Liz Burdock, executive director of the group. “It’s helpful for the developer,” she said. “Say they wanted a marine diving company to do some work. They would call me, and I could give them the name of the marine diving companies that were interested in the offshore wind project. “They would have that information instead of trying to put something out to create awareness of the company.” Businesses from Maryland to Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine have listed their names with the Network. That should help with the 80,000-acre project planned off Ocean City’s shore, but also with wind farm development farther afield, such as Cape Wind off the Nantucket Sound in Cape Cod or projects in the works in Virginia and Rhode Island, Burdock said. But the biggest impact will be locally, where operations and maintenance will be staged once the project gets off the ground. At about 30 percent of the total wind farm project cost — estimated at $1 billion or more — O&M should bring $300 million into the local economy, Burdock said. “That’s a very large portion of the project costs and they all need to be local jobs,” she said. “You can’t have See WIND Page 13

Almost all ask for education funds People representing each of county’s schools seek teacher raises, more tech By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Nearly all of the 27 people who spoke at Snow Hill Middle School during Tuesday’s annual public hearing on the Worcester County budget asked for funds for the Board of Education. Three asked for funds for the Coastal Hospice building in Berlin, one asked for funds for land for parks be omitted from the budget, one asked for careful use of budget stabilization funds and one asked for budget cuts in general. But it was National Teacher Appreciation Day and, people representing each of the county’s public schools asked for pay raises for teachers. They also asked for funds for technology. “Do what needs to be done to ensure [the schools] remain as great as they are,” said Jennifer Howard, who represented Cedar Chapel Special School in Snow Hill. Steve Rakow of Bishopville lauded Worcester Technical High School and urged the commissioners to continue to fund technology. “We live in a high-tech world,” Rakow said. “Our children need to

learn in a high-tech environment.” Richard Edmunds of Bishopville said he moved to Worcester County seven years ago because of the high quality of the schools. His children attend Stephen Decatur High School, Stephen Decatur Middle School and Berlin Intermediate School. He asked for technology to be upgraded and for more devices for testing and for teachers. “We need your help to keep these schools great,” said Beth Shockley Lynch, president of the Worcester County Teachers Association. “Our teachers deserve this minimal pay raise. We look forward to you full funding the Board of Education’s request.” The Board of Education’s requested budget for $79.4 million is $3.38 million higher than the current year adopted budget for $76 million. Although school construction debt is paid by the county on behalf of the Board of Education, it is not reflected in the board’s budget. It is, however, included in the county’s operating budget. Therefore, the board’s operating budget request is $79.4 million plus debt of $11.7 million, which totals $91.2 million or 51 percent of the county’s total estimated revenue. Altogether, the county’s estimated revenues for fiscal year 2015 total $176.3 million, an increase of $7.7

million or 4.6 percent more than the current year. Requested general fund operating expenditures total $184.7 million, which leaves a shortfall of $8.3 million. That shortfall, however, does not take into account the county’s plan to use $6.3 million in budget stabilization funds to increase revenue, so the shortfall is actually $14.6 million. That shortfall must be reconciled with reductions in expenditures or additional revenues or a combination of both. Commissioner James Purnell, who is not running for re-election, recalled his first county budget hearing in 1995 when one of the commissioners’ first endeavors was to raise salaries for county employees, including teachers. “I can proudly say we have made tremendous strides in moving this county forward. We’ve done an excellent job. We do what is best for this county,” Purnell said. “Don’t worry, teachers. Be like me. Go home, go to sleep and forget about it.” The county commissioners held budget review session with department heads March 11 and April 8. They have scheduled budget work sessions for May 13 and May 21. If needed, an additional budget work session will be held May 27. The commissioners will adopt the general fund operating budget June 3.

Chronic overcrowding of that ramp, and of the long-term boat trailer parking area at 100th Street, was the major impetus for the proposed new ramp.

would go away,” McGean said. “We’ll pay 100 percent on this one and that’ll basically buy out the state’s stake on the old one.” After that, the city could charge as much as it wished – or, as has been proposed, restrict access of the ramp only to residents of that particular neighborhood, to reduce the traffic jams caused by boat trailers using a residential street as an access road. “The restrictions could be changed to whatever the Mayor and Council wished,” McGean said. The town borrowed $750,000 two years ago to help pay for the project, which is expected to total around $4 million, including state and city funds as well as the cost of the land previously purchased for the wastewater plant.

By Paul Suplee Special to Bayside Gazette (May 9, 2014) “The world is walking past us right now in St. Louis” muttered Mike, another parent on our robotics team. A retired full-bird Air Force colonel and a man who spent years in the seminary prior to his military service, he gets more interesting and profound every time that we talk. In one of our sleep-deprived chats at the end of a 14-hour day, we were thrilled as we witnessed teams ranging in age from 6-18 from Colombia, Mexico, Holland, Canada and The U.S. walking by us on their way to watch matches at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Competition season has been a very long five weeks for our fledgling team. From our grassroots beginning last year of two students and parents to a team of 16 students and mentors from NASA and NOAA, Titanium Wrecks believed from the beginning that we were going to accomplish great things. As a garage robotics team, we have been homeless numerous times, and the last time that we were without shelter, we reached out to our friends in Berlin. Thanks to the generosity of Marilyn

and Ernie Gerardi, we were able to work in the garage of their guesthouse. True to our nomadic colors, as we packed up for our last qualifying competition, we packed out of the Gerardi’s garage one last time. When we won Rookie All Star at the Greater D.C. Regional in April, we had two significant milestones to face: We were qualified for the World Championships in three weeks in St. Louis, and we needed to pay $5,000 to FIRST Robotics within three days. Both daunting tasks, I walked back to the pit area buzzing from the excitement of knowing how well the kids had performed. But, I was also concerned as to how we were going to get 23 people to St. Louis. Then, we had to worry about food, hotel and transportation. This was not going to be easy. After winning Rookie Inspiration Award and making it to the finals the following weekend at the Chesapeake Regional, we hit the warpath running and picked up some new sponsors. We raised enough money to pay the entry fee and survive six days of travel to, and competition in, St. Louis. That was the last piece of the puzzle and we were off and running. After a night trip to New York, and then herding the kids through a few airports like a gaggle of cats, it was time to check into the hotel and go to The Dome.

Driving into St. Louis, the first thing that we saw was the Arch, the monument to westward expansion that dominates the skyline and leaves one with little doubt as to where they are. We found ourselves at the Dome, home to the NFL’s Rams, and walked through the maze and mayhem that makes up the competition. Our pit was in the Galileo Division; we were in a sea of 400 teams from around the world divided into four divisions of 100 teams. In an adjacent hall, there were younger kids in the FTC, FLL and jrFLL divisions; kids as young as first grade. Beyond them was the sponsors’ row, in which companies set up booths and exhibitions to woo future clients. Both of the CIAs were there: Central Intelligence Agency and The Culinary Institute of America (Chef Busby of Napa Valley spent days making thousands of pomegranatepistachio frozen yogurt balls in liquid nitrogen). When we walked through, it was hard to get our heads wrapped around the vast chamber in which we were about to spend the next four days. All of the teams were given the same task at kickoff in January, and yet the thousands of teams from around the world created robots that left no two alike. We were ogling other teams’ robots and in awe of the spirit of the room; as a rookie team,

When Titanium-Wrecks gets opportunity to meet world we were visited by many veteran teams that came over to wish us luck and give us pointers. Between Thursday and Saturday, the teams played a total of 10 qualifying matches. On the first day, we won three and lost two matches, leaving us with an average standing in our division. On the second day, our drivers and robot were up to par and our drive team consisted of madmen. They dominated on defense and our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alliances went undefeated for all four matches that day. After nine of our ten qualifying rounds, we were resting comfortably in 14th place in the Galileo Division. On the final day, we went into our one and only match of the day in high spirits. Thirty seconds into the 2-1/2 minute match, a robot on our alliance had its bumper ripped off, requiring the judges to cut communication to the machine immediately. The other alliance was then favored 3/2 against us. A mere minute later, the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; monitor gave an alarm that the CPU usage on the other robot on our alliance read that it was about to blow (we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know that they monitored such things). They then cut com to that robot. Since we have a defensive bot, the team relied on strong defense to stop the onslaught of the

three opposing robots. Even with the evident advantage of the other alliance, the score did not reflect a blood-letting, so allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well that ends well. Once the qualifying rounds were complete, the 8 top teams in each division picked their own alliances, but we were not that lucky; we ended up in 25th place in the Division and besides, no rookies were chosen for alliances so we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose any sleep over it. It also meant that we could pack out and enjoy the finals without the added stressor of packing out late as we had at the Chesapeake Regional, where we did make it to the finals. After four long days of competition, it was time to take a day to sightsee in St. Louis and top it all off with a 200-item Chinese buffet complete with sea snails, octopus salad, steak, shrimp and a dazzling array of sushi. Not usually one for the buffet, this one spun me for a loop. Exhausted, fed and pretty much done, we packed and set the alarm clocks for the early morning flight home. And all the while, we discussed our plans on how to get to St. Louis next year, a feat which will take a great deal of work. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it, if not just to see the world walking by us one more time.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Get your high-waist white suits ready for Miami Vice: Rockfish. Last week, the Maryland Natural Resources Police rolled out its newest and largest-ever enforcement vessel dedicated to the Ocean City area, a key mission of which is to extend the NRP’s range for enforcing regulations on Maryland’s state fish, the striped bass, also known as the rockfish. “We’re battling constantly with illegally sized fish,” said Col. George Johnson. The new 28-foot vessel will be able to deal with a number of coastal emergencies, such as search-and-rescue and medical missions. But it’s most routine function will be enforcing size and catch limits for local fisheries. The NRP did not pay for the boat,

Johnson noted, but rather it was purchased as part of a cooperative enforcement program the department participates in with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Marine Fishery Service (NMFS). “We submit to the feds what we use the money for, and obviously this year it was for this boat,” Johnson said. “They’ve been very good partners for us.” In return, the NRP offers in-kind help by assisting federal agencies with enforcement of federal regulations, particularly relating to fishing. NRP officers are deputized by the federal government so that they have jurisdiction beyond just state waters. “They offer to pay for people to work locally with their federal guy,” Johnson said. “We’ve worked with the federal in-

vestigator in several operations.” Per federal law, states have jurisdiction of waters out to three miles from their coastlines. From three to 200 miles out is federal jurisdiction – known as the Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ - and beyond 200 miles the oceans become international waters. The major impetus for the purchase was having a vessel that would be much more practical for patrolling out into federal waters. “We had been using 19- or 20-foot open-topped boats, which are not exactly pleasant to be in after a few hours in open ocean,” Johnson said. The new boat will be able to cruise for up to six hours at 30 knots, with a top speed of 47. Electronics for infrared, radar, and sonar are still being installed, Johnson said, with the total price tag expected to come in to the high $200,000-range. “It’s a tremendous help to us for search-and-rescue, ,where we’re often called to assist the Coast Guard” Johnson said. The EEZ designation is a particular issue for striped bass, since the federal government has kept the fishery closed in federal waters since 1985. However, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission – the inter-state umbrella group which sets policy for most of the Mid-Atlantic, including Maryland – has allowed states to re-open their striped bass fisheries under certain regulations. Venturing beyond three miles, into federal waters, is tempting for many fishermen due to the belief that larger striped bass, particularly migratory females, traverse these waters rather than coming closer to the coast. Recreational fishing takes in the majority of the striped bass haul, with the ASMFC allotting 26 million pounds to recreation fishing on the east coast and 7 million to commercial. However, Johnson noted, the Maryland NRP made one of its biggest fishing arrests ever in 2011, when officers discovered 6,000 pounds of rockfish in an illegal 900-yard gillnet in the bay between Queen Anne’s and Talbot counties. Such commercial-scale poaching is much less common in ocean waters, but the NRP continues to conduct regular enforcement to make its presence known. “Has it happened a lot here? No. But we do want a consistent presence to they know we’ll be out there at any time,” Johnson said. In December of 2011, for instance, this newspaper reported on six men being arrested in as many days in the waters off Ocean City for catching rockfish in the EEZ and bringing them back into Maryland waters. “There are some people that are just mom-and-pop who don’t know the rules, and there are some people out there who will harvest whatever they want to just to make a dollar,” said Lt. Scott Richardson, who supervises the NRP’s tri-county district for Worcester, Somerset, and Wicomico counties. “We have to deal with the whole gamut of violators.”

Residents want R-1 communities protected Proliferation of short-term rentals of single family homes irks property owners

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Like the dwindling territory of an endangered species, the resort’s limited numbers of resident homeowners are finding their coveted neighborhoods slowly invaded by rowdy, habitat-destroying renters. This was the appeal made Tuesday to the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission by retired local dentist, and former commission chairman himself, Geoff Robbins, in regard to his neighborhood on Mallard Island. “With a proliferation of rentals – in our community, about 10 percent

of the houses are being occupied in this fashion – it does affect the property values and it affects quality of life,” Robbins said. The Mallard Island area, with its central artery on Teal Drive, is zoned as an R-1 district, on which only “detached single-family homes” are permitted. The intent of the district is to protect single-family residential neighborhoods, but Robbins submitted that the city’s often Byzantine zoning code does not create adequate protection to keep single-family homes from being used as income-generating weekly rentals. “We chose to pay a higher price to live in an R-1 community, and in return we expect the city to protect us from things that we did not want to live around,” Robbins said.

“There are people who build single-family homes in multi-family districts or commercial districts, and that was their choice, but we chose not to for a reason.” The city does have one protection against rental exploitation. To meet the definition of single-family, homes must be designed for the occupancy of two or more persons related by blood or marriage, or no more than four unrelated persons living together under a shared agreement and with a single kitchen facility. However, this is scantly enforced. Robbins distributed copies of an ad form a local real estate brokerage advertising the house next to his as “sleeps up to 17 people.” Robbins said the home had roughly a dozen occupants two weeks ago, who were clearly not a single family, and thus

he property was in violation of zoning. “It’s not the job of Blaine [city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith] and his staff to go around and police properties every time someone calls in about too many people there,” Robbins said. “It should be the job of the realtor. But if you look at the way the properties have developed, maybe it’s time for the city to create a district where renting is not allowed.” “Property owners don’t know, and if the realtors aren’t telling them, they don’t realize,” said Commission Chair Pam Buckley. Even if realtors are being honest, Commissioner Peck Miller said, it is hard for them to verify in advance who will be in the unit. “You rent it to mom and dad, and then what comes down is not what you were expecting,” Miller said. There are many R-1 districts across the county, he noted, that set a minimum stay on rentals in order to avoid short-term vacationers driving out residents. This is especially important in Ocean City, where the few resident property owners are typically long-time business and community leaders. “We won’t have people who want to come to visit if we don’t have a community here,” Buckley said. “We See HOME Page 12

Continued from Page 1 implants for the hearing impaired. He said that even though he used to wear hearing aids, he still felt “isolated.” With the implants, he said he’s doing so well that working the Health Fair is a way for him to give back to the community. He has lived in Ocean City for 40 years. Friedman said that when the health fair first started, it was held usually in a small convention center room. Now there are over 100 vendors from across the shore that participate. “I think we offer something for everybody here,” said Dr. Friedman. Many come, he said, because getting their blood pressure checked or blood screening or even talking casually with a health professional alleviates any fear they might have going to an office or a hospital. Dawn Denton, AGH’s community education manager, said, “our goal is to provide screening and health information and make the people who are here aware of the services AGH provides.” She said that one example of the fair’s importance came from its skin cancer-screening booth. Thirty people came to the booth for the screening, and 18, she said, learned of possible skin cancer. “We’re in a place where we are seeing people who wouldn’t have learned about their health without this fair.” AGH had 28 of its departments represented

at the fair out of 104 total booths. At a surgical booth, AGH nurses Cindy Brasure, Jean Keagle and Christie Brittingham demonstrated extremely high tech surgical stapling instruments. In a nearby booth, AGH technician Katelyn Tingle was taking the blood pressure of fair goers. She said that it was important for people to keep track of their blood pressure, and she did see during the morning some numbers that she suggested were either too high or too low for the patient. Robin Rohlfing, a lead polysonographer, was working the sleep apnea booth, showing people how the cpap mask works and discussing sleep disorder studies available at AGH. Kitty Wrench, a retired paramedic, had two of the resuscitation mannequins on a table, one of an adult, the other a child. “CPR is so much easier than it has been in the past,” she said. “There’s more emphasis on compression than on the mouth to mouth.” She said that when compression is done correctly, it forces air in and out of a patient’s lungs. “I love to teach,” she said, “especially when it comes to saving lives.” Like a proud parent overseeing everything, AARP 197 president Terry Norris said he was “really happy and proud” of the event, and that he knew that it helped hundreds of people take a closer look at their own health. “I just want also to say thank you to everyone who participated today to make this a successful health fair,” he said.

Home is where renters aren’t Continued from Page 10 don’t want everyone living in West Ocean City who wants to have a business here.” “It destroys the neighborhood if you have weekly rentals,” said Commissioner Lauren Taylor. “But I’m not sure how many people are going to change their minds. They want the money. There has to be an education component to let people know they can report this and there can be a fine.” The city can charge up to $500 per day for zoning violations, Smith said. “I think we’re getting to the point where the hammer needs to drop on that,” Buckley said. However, Smith later noted that enforcement by his office is a tricky subject, given that they are bound by the same Constitutional rules as any other agency. He cannot simply barge

into anyone’s home on suspicion that five unrelated people are inside. Many cities across the county have the same issue. In New York City, rentals of less than 30 days are banned unless one possesses a hotel license – but enforcement is impossible, and online owner-direct rental services such as Airbnb make the transactions undetectable. Ocean City’s code does allow “home occupations,” such as tailors or music teachers, in R-1 districts – but explicitly excludes “tourist homes” from the home occupation definition, implying that the code originally intended to keep tourists out of that zoning designation. In the interest of full disclosure, Ocean City Today Publisher Stewart Dobson owns a home on Teal Drive, and was present at the meeting Tuesday in support of Robbins.

Wind farms will mean windfall His website estimates that the Ocean City Project could bring 850 construction jobs over a five-year period, as well as 160 permanent jobs to Maryland. The Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Lab found the Ocean City wind farm area could generate between 850 and 1,450 megawatts of energy — enough to power roughly 300,000 homes annually, said Tracey Moriarty, spokesperson for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The turbines will be between 10 and 30 miles out to sea and could go up as early as 2018. The federal government is slated to name the developers of Ocean City’s wind farm in June, Burdock said. After that, the winner will issue a site assessment plan within six months to BOEM for its approval, and then have four and a half years to submit a detailed construction and operations plan for the site before any turbines go up, Moriarty said. Businesses do not need to be members of the Business Network for Maryland Offshore Wind to sign up for a listing on its supply chain portal. Visit www.bizmdosw.org to sign up or to learn more about the organization.

Continued from Page 1 technicians and parts a long way away from the site.” The skills needed for such work exist in the area, she said, though additional training in marine safety, health and safety and technical aspects will be needed. “We have the skill set (and) we have the infrastructure in place to do that. It’s just a matter of finding the capital in order to make those training programs happen,” Burdock said. On the state level, the offshore wind bill will encourage developers to keep jobs in Maryland, thanks to its requirement that that they show positive economic development in the state to secure ORECs — offshore renewable energy credits, which could be up to $190 per megawatt hour, said Ross Tyler of the Maryland Energy Administration’s Offshore Wind Development Fund. “The development of offshore wind will drive economic development in Maryland, create high-quality, family-supporting jobs for Maryland residents and play a major role in reducing emissions and protecting the environment,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley, a longtime champion of the project.

K-9 Ike killed in line of duty Three-year Sheriff’s Office member will receive departmental honors during Pocomoke memorial service By Nancy Powell Staff Writer

(May 9, 2014) The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 that died Saturday night after being struck by a vehicle on Route 50 near Route 589 will receive full departmental honors during a memorial service. That service for K-9 Ike, will be held at 4 p.m. at the Pocomoke Fire Department Community Center at 14th Street and Market Street. The public is invited. Cpl. Chris Larmore has left K-9 Ike in the patrol vehicle while making a traffic stop. K-9 Ike alerted to something and jumped from the door of the patrol vehicle, which was left ajar in case he was needed to assist or protect Larmore. A driver traveling on Route 50 was unable to avoid K-9 Ike and struck and killed him. The driver remained on the scene.

According to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the driver did everything possible to avoid hitting the K-9, but to no avail. K-9 Ike had been a member of the Sheriff’s office for three years. He participated in numerous drug seizure, criminal apK-9 Ike prehensions and countless searches and tracks. “Ike was a valued member of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and will be sorely missed by The Sheriff Mason and all the Deputies,” according to the press release. Another press release, issued May 6, stated, “Sheriff Mason would like to thank our community for your prayers and support during this difficult time of loss of K9 Ike. The outpouring of support has been incredible and the Sheriff’s Office is very appreciative of the kind words and sentiments you have provided to us and K9 Ike’s family during this time.”

Curbing underage drinking meeting’s topic Police, parents, students get together at SDHS to discuss growing problem

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) More than 50 parents, students, police officers and other members of the community met at Stephen Decatur High School Monday night to discuss ways to curb underage drinking in Worcester County. With prom, graduation, summer

break and the celebrations that accompany them, the Students Against Destructive Decisions club and the Worcester County Health Department hosted the informal dinner, presentation and Q-and-A session with a panel of local educators, law enforcement officials and students. Worcester County consistently ranks above the state average in terms of excessive drinking, said Lois Twilley, Coordinator of Special Programs for the county’s Health Department. “In all areas (age groups) we

&- '

ranked higher than the state average. That kind of set red lights off,” she said. To delve into the problem, the Health Department conducted a local survey last year asking almost 250 adults and 350 youth about their drinking habits. That survey found that more than 70 percent of youth said alcohol was relatively easy to access, mostly from friends or relatives over 21 years old, at parties, or from their own homes — a finding that didn’t surprise some parents at the town hall meeting.

“What I hear from the hospital and my kids is very troubling,” said local physician Dr. Charles Kim. “It seems like the alcohol … is provided by the parents.” His question: “How do we educate and how do we change the behavior of the parents?” Sheriff’s Deputy Jen Hall said the solution must come from the parents themselves. “Be the parent, not the friend,” she said, citing a national survey that found that 80 percent of teenagers polled listed their parents as the most influential people in their lives. “That’s one of the biggest problems,” said Dave Baker, Parenting Coordinator at the County Health Department. “If parents aren’t ready, it’s tough to make them responsible.” Panel members suggested using the “Be a Parent, Not a Friend” video, a public service announcement created by the state, that played at Monday’s meeting as one way to educate parents. But “making change is not just one person, it’s not just one organization. It takes everyone working together,” said Marty Pusey, director of Prevention Services at the Worcester County Health Department. Findings by the Community AntiDrug Coalitions of America back that. According to CADCA, there are seven strategies research has found to be effective in sparking community change. In addition to providing information through vehicles like the state’s video, community members can provide support for risk-reducing actions, such as providing alternative activities like Ocean City’s “Play It Safe” program during senior week. They can also alter consequences, as Stephen Decatur’s softball coach has done, with an instant ban in place for any player caught drinking. Other approaches include increasing access to support services by providing things like transportation, childcare and translations; altering the physical environment, for example, by adding more lights to dimly lit areas; increasing skills through workshops, seminars and other activities;

Seacrets goes after national audience through branding Three craft spirits, honey mustard, marinade have hit shelves locally and beyond

OCEAN CITY TODAY/JOSH DAVIS

Seacrets teamed up with Evolution Craft Brewing Co. in Salisbury to produce Tropicale, a 4.5 percent ABV session ale made with hibiscus and honey. The beer is available on tap at Seacrets, located on 49th Street in Ocean City, as well as sold in bottles in stores.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) The Seacrets name isn’t much of a secret in the Ocean City area, but now the mammoth restaurant and bar is attempting to extend its reach nationally. Three kinds of craft spirits, a signature craft beer, a honey mustard and a marinade bearing the Seacrets name have hit stores in the region and could soon see expansion into stores across the country. “The honey mustard is the first product that went out,” said Gary

Figgs, Seacrets’ vice president and chief financial officer. “The owner created it when he was making jerk chicken here – the customers had asked for something to dip it in. He looked at what he had in the kitchen and came up with a honey mustard, so we started serving that up and ever since then it went out with the orders.” Seacrets Honey Mustard debuted on grocery store shelves in April, 2013 and is available in approximately 500 stores. “It’s pure grade-A honey,” said Figgs. “It’s sweeter; you can really taste the honey in it and it’s a highquality product.” Seacrets “Secret” Jamaican Jerk Marinade was available in stores in spring, 2014. The spice rub, similar to a blackening seasoning, was designed for chicken but also works well with pork, beef and fish. “Depending on how spicy you want it is how long you marinade it,” said Figgs. “You could marinade it for hours; you could marinade it for days – some people like things more soaked in and spicy. But it’s the same marinade that we use on our chicken here.” Both products are also available See SEACRETS Page 18

Seacrets no longer local consumer secret Continued from Page 16 at Seacrets and online. The brand has been a hit in regional stores and Figgs hopes to build on that success. “We’ve concentrated on getting our products out in distribution not just in the mid-Atlantic region, but hopefully we can pick it up nationally at some point,” he said. Last summer Seacrets added their signature craft beer, Tropicale. Brewed by Evolution Craft Brewing Co. in Salisbury, the wheat ale is made with hibiscus flowers and

clover honey. “We went to Evo and said, ‘can you be really creative and come up with something for Seacrets?’” Figgs said. “The only thing we said is we want honey and hibiscus in it and they were able to come up with a brew that’s 4.5 percent alcohol, which is great. We were thinking of daytime; it’s hot, so we wanted a refreshing session beer that you could drink several of.” “Our brewmaster Jeff had to come up with a conceptual idea of a beer that people would like to drink

at a place like Seacrets,” said Tommy Knorr, co-owner of Evolution. “We came up with a couple of ingredients that kind of meant Jamaica – we used a cool wildflower honey, giving it a little bit of sweetness, and we also used hibiscus flowers, giving it some floral notes. It’s a dry, very drinkable beer and it was a lot of fun to work on.” Tapped in July 2013 at Seacrets, the beer became available in stores in six packs and cases last fall. “We did very well with the draft here so I approached Tommy about bottling it and seeing if he would distribute it to other accounts,” Figgs said. “We did very strong numbers and we believed in it like we did our food products, so we thought it could do well in the Baltimore, Washington, Philly areas where people that come and vacation in Ocean City and see our brand will buy it in stores.” Within a few weeks the beer landed more than 200 accounts in Maryland. Tropicale expanded into the Delaware market in late April 2014, and will be appearing on draft in Knorr’s Southern Boys Concepts restaurants this summer. Next, Seacrets launched a line of craft spirits. “We had been looking for a while for someone who would make us our

own spirits and someone who would do what Tommy Knorr did in saying, ‘tell me what you’re looking for and we’ll make it,’” said Figgs. “There are a lot of guys who will come up to you and say, ‘here, put your label on our Caribbean rum.’ We didn’t want to do that – we wanted to find someone that could just be creative and come up with

Bar, restaurant extending reach nationally the brand that we wanted.” After an extensive search Zack King at Delaware Distilling Co. was tapped for the job. “He kept coming back and forth with different rums, vodkas, gins, spiced rums, trying to come up with a flavor profile that (Seacrets owner) Leighton (Moore) would like and would work here to sell at Seacrets,” Figgs said. King came up with a smooth seven-times distilled wheat vodka, an eight-times distilled juniper berry gin and a barrel-aged spiced

rum. A white rum is also in the works. “With those products we’re hoping to do the same thing,” Figgs said. “We have them in bar/restaurant packages right now in liter bottles, and in June we’re going to launch it in retail packaging in a nice, craft spirits bottle.” The new spirits will also replace outside products in all rail drinks at Seacrets. “We always did a premium rail, but this is a hand-crafted item,” Figgs said. “These have a lot better

taste and we think they make all of our drinks better.” The unique and highly drinkable spiced rum, in particular, has been an early hit. “We’re using it in a new drink called the ‘Willy Tea,’ and that takes our spiced rum with iced tea,” said bartender Ari Hantske. “People are really liking that and we think it’s going to be big for this summer.” “It’s a good sipping rum, but we’re also going to use it for our floaters,” said bartender Michael

Excursion train proposed for Berlin to Snow Hill journey By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) An excursion train could be in Worcester County’s future. Strasburg Railroad and Maryland Delaware Railroad are interesting in partnering to provide a local Strasburg Railroad franchise that would run from Berlin to Snow Hill. “There are mutual expressions of interest,” Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger told the Worcester County Commissioners during their meeting Tuesday. Badger said he thought it would be prudent for the commissioners to look at the idea and he suggested they contribute a portion of funds for the first phase of a feasibility study, estimated to cost between $12,000 and $20,000. The commissioners, with members Merrill Lockfaw and Louise Gulyas absent, voted unanimously to provide funds for the study. “It would definitely be a feather in our cap,” said Commissioner Virgil Shockley, who has been aboard a Strasburg Railroad train in Pennsylvania, said. “I’m all for this.” Commissioner Judy Boggs said she had also been a passenger on the Pennsylvania train and would like to

see one in Worcester County. “I’ve never felt Snow Hill as our county seat has gotten the just recognition for what it is as our county seat,” Boggs said. During the 1990s, Worcester County had a train car attraction. Vintage train cars traveled between Berlin and Snow Hill for several years until they stopped because of liability concerns. On April 2, Badger and representatives from the Maryland Delaware Railroad spent the day with the director of operations for the Strasburg Railroad, who confirmed his interest in the project. Strasburg Railroad is known for its family-oriented attraction and it has replica of Thomas the Tank train and The Polar Express, Badger said. Passengers may be served food and alcohol aboard several train cars. Before the excursion train idea becomes a reality, many issues should be explored to see if the proposal is viable. Those issues, Badger said, could only be determined by a comprehensive study. The Maryland Delaware Railroad, Snow Hill, Berlin and the county would fund the first phase of the feasibility study and Strasburg Railroad would be a funding partner in the study’s second phase.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) A school administrator received a very unwelcome package from a student last week. On April 30, Stephen Decatur High School Vice Principal Mark Flynn notified a school security deputy that he had received a package sent to the school through the United States Postal Service. The container apparently contained fecal matter. The student was identified as a male 12th grader at Decatur. School officials and police declined to release his name. Police arrested the student on May 5 at a McDonald’s restaurant on Seahawk Road, near the school, where the student admitted to sending the package. During a search of the student’s vehicle the arresting deputy also located a large quantity of alcohol. The student was charged with three counts of disturbing activities at school, three counts of molesting a school administrator and possession of alcohol under the age of 21. Police referred the student to juvenile services. According to Lt. Ed Schreir, a spokesman for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, two more packages were also identified by the police as being addressed and sent to the same recipient. The student told the investigating officer the package contained animal feces. No motives are known, and the investigation is considered ongoing. Schreir admitted to the case’s unusual nature. “They used to put stuff in a bag and light it on fire and leave it on your porch and ring the doorbell,” he said. “It’s just a variation on that. I’m not quite sure of this method.” Barbara Witherow, coordinator of special programs and public relations for Worcester County Schools, said the school would continue to monitor the incident. “The student has had files charged against him and we’re going to continue to monitor the case,” she said. “I know that at this time the student has been given a 10-day suspension. We’re not sure if there will be future consequences as well.” Ten days is the maximum amount of days a student can be suspended in Worcester County. Witherow called the incident “very unusual.” “I can tell you from my tenure I have not been made aware of a similar case, and I’ve been in this capacity for 10 years,” she said. “We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to continue to promote safe school environments; we’re going to continue to promote awareness, vigilance and communication, because all of those are factors in creating and sustaining safe schools.”

Grand jury indicts Stockton resident on porn charges

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) A Stockton man was indicted on federal child pornography charges on May 1. A federal grand jury indicted Laiton Blake Witkowski, 41, of production, distribution and possession of child pornography. He was scheduled to have his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Monday. The seven-count indictment alleges that Witkowski produced images of two minor girls engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The images appear to have been taken without their knowledge. Some are images of one girl taken while she is apparently sleeping. Some images of the other girl were taken while she was using the restroom. The indictment also alleges Witkowski possessed and distributed additional images of child pornography, including images of prepubescent children being sexually abused. During the Feb. 6 execution of a search and seizure warrant, approximately 20 to 25 DVDs and CDs showing child abuse were found in Witkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom and approximately 14 DVDs and CDs were found in his office. One reportedly showed a prepubescent child bound with duct tape during the sexual abuse. And another reportedly showed two boys engaged in sexual conduct with each other. Witkowski faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in prison for each of the two counts of production of child pornography, a minimum of five years and a maximum of 20 years in prison for the distribution of child pornography and a maximum of 20 years in prison for each of the four count of possession of child pornography. Witkowski had turned himself in to the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office On Feb. 10 and a Worcester County grand jury indicted him on numerous charges related to child pornography on Feb. 24.

Sea wall work to begin at resort’s southern border By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer

(May 9, 2014) Work is scheduled to begin next week on a new sea wall at the resort’s southern border, with the new structure to essentially be constructed on top of the old. Contractors from Coastal Gunite Construction, hired by the Army Corps of Engineers, will be conducting the project as part of this year’s phase of beach replenishment, which covers not only the restoration of dunes on the resort’s coastline, but also other storm protection features such as the seawalls. “We’re building a new wall and tying it into the old one,” said John Becker of Coastal Gunite. “Right now it looks like we’ll be starting next week and gong into early June.” Becker’s crew will begin by building platforms adjacent to the current seawall which protects the southern tip of town from the waters of the inlet. The platforms will provide space to attach a plastic and fiberglass framework to the existing wall. Concrete will then be sprayed onto the framework using the so-called “shotcrete” method. “Instead of putting up forms and

pouring it, we place it pneumatically,” Becker said. “This way it should only take us a couple weeks, four at the most.” The older part of the wall, stretching back toward the bay, dates to the 1960’s, Becker said. It has probably been in need of repair for some years given extensive cracking and peeling. “The way we build things now, there’s no reason to expect that what we’re putting in won’t last for a very, very long time,” Becker said. Coastal Gunite will only be working on select days through the week, per the city’s Public Works Department, in order to avoid obstructing access to the inlet parking lot at peak times. The shotcrete method is common in marine work where adjacent water would make pouring difficult. The method also has relatively little impact on the environment, Becker said. “Our work platform kind of builds it into a box. It catches what we remove from the existing wall and what would be waste shotcrete,” Becker said. “But it’s just concrete – people build artificial reefs out of it all the time, so it’s not an environmental hazard anyway.”

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) After nearly two hours of presentation and review, the city’s planning commission cleared the design of the Marriott Residence Inn proposed for Sea Bay Lane, adjacent to the Route 90 Bridge, with only minor aesthetic changes. Representatives from the neighboring Trader’s Cove townhouses, as well as members of the commission themselves, continued to voice concern over parking, traffic flow, and pedestrian safety – but ultimately found that the current design was the best building that it could be given the awkwardly positioned site. “You have to understand that traffic is going to happen whatever goes there,” said Commission Chair Pam Buckley. “Obviously something is going to be built there – it’s a prime piece of property,” said Commissioner Chris Shanahan. The land in question begins at the western end of 61st street along Sea Bay Lane, stretching between Route 90 and the Trader’s Cove townhouses. The proposed hotel would be 150 rooms in eight stories, including the typical amenities such as pools and a gym.

The building would sit at a minimum setback of 19 feet from Route 90, with the north face of the building being the hotel’s corridors in order to keep traffic noise out of the rooms themselves, which would face south, east, and west. Parking is located either beneath the hotel, or in a lot to the south along Sea Bay Lane. This leaves a considerable amount of space between the hotel itself and Trader’s Cove, reducing the visual impact and eliminating any shadow cast on the existing townhouses. Much of the commission’s scrutiny – both during an initial review in February of this year and during the final review Tuesday night – was prompted by controversy over a previous plan for the site back in 2006, which was approved by the city but dropped due to outcry from the public and other agencies. “To put it mildly, I crashed and burned with that use of the property,” said attorney Joe Moore, who represented the previous project and is now representing the property’s new owners, Palmer-Gosnell Hospitality. The company also owns hotels in the Virginia and Washington, D.C. See HOTEL Page 27

Hotel design gets resort’s Planning Commission OK Continued from Page 26 area, and recently purchased property in Rehoboth. The site was formerly occupied by the Ocean City Health and Racquet Club, a full-service gym facility with basketball and racquet courts, saunas, and a pool, which was built in 1983. After over 20 years of operation, the club’s owners, the Furst family, acquired additional real estate and planned to build a new facility that would be not only a health club, but also contain medical offices and retail space. The facility was extremely large, up to 12 stories in the original proposal, and in the city’s opinion lacked the necessary service outlets for the amount of traffic generated. “That was under the old height exception rules, which did not have any limitations other than what the Mayor and City Council would agree to as a conditional use,” Moore noted. Following the debacle, the city introduced new bayside height-byright restrictions, which allowed large parcels to build in excess of the usual five stories only with additional setback and reduced density.

Traffic flow, parking, safety still concern for neighbors Continued from Page 27 proposed Furst project would’ve been built to the absolute maximum lot area. “Compare that with what we are doing now,” Moore said. “Even though it is an eight-story building, it is much more benign in it setback and in its intrusion to the neighboring properties.” Critically, city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith noted, a shadow study indicates that the eight-story building with increased setback would have less shadow impact on the surrounding area than a fivestory building placed at the standard setback. This was the critical criteria for the bayside regulations, Smith said. Moore also lobbied that his clients had done as much as possible to mitigate traffic issues. The hotel has a complete drive-through with two exits for circulation on and off the property on Sea Bay Lane. However, the commission still worried that the traffic coming off 61st Street would cause problems on Coastal Highway. “You have people coming right off Route 90 going south into that first lane,” said Commissioner Peck Miller. “There’s no stop sign and virtually no yielding, and now you’ll

have people coming off 61st Street trying to cross over to turn around at 59th.” Moore noted that the hotel will be offering complementary shuttle service to and from the beach to reduce traffic as much as possible. Signs will also be posted directing pedestrians to cross at the light at 59th Street, instead of crossing mid-block. “It’s about a 2,000-foot walk to get from the beach,” said traffic engineer Betty Tustin, who had been retained by Moore. “A family with kids, coolers and umbrellas will likely take the shuttle if offered.” “The incentive to cross is minimal, significantly less than what was there and what could be there,” Tustin said. Her study also indicated that the hotel would generate 63 trips in and out per hour on a peak Saturday, versus 280 for a shopping center of size similar the one previously proposed. Still, neighbors were concerned how the hotel’s traffic and parking would impact Sea Bay Lane, which is a private road whose right-of-way rights would be shared by Trader’s Cove and the proposed Marriott. “At peak hours, we see that the Sea Bay Hotel will fill up and spill out See MARRIOTT Page 28

at this point.” The only substantive change mandated by the commission was some type of additional architectural feature to break up the north side of the building, which is otherwise long corridors of glass. One of the issues in the 2006 project was how the building would look to those driving into town on Route 90. “I would like to see at least two bays or some type of vertical elements interrupting that monolithic wall,” said Commissioner Palmer Gillis. “It needs to not look like it’s the back of a building, even though it is the back of the building,” agreed Commissioner Lauren Taylor.

City estimates big retiree health insurance savings Projected windfall will put OC’s 2014-2015 budget roughly $660,000 in black

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) A projected windfall savings on retiree health insurance will put the city’s 2014-2015 budget roughly $660,000 in the black – but City Council decided this week to keep the funds in the city’s reserve until after the summer season. The draft of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget, which passed its first reading before council Monday night, had allotted over $3.8 million in contributions to the city’s Other PostEmployment Benefits (OPEB) fund. This number was based on an estimated six percent rise in retiree

health insurance costs over the 20132014 OPEB allocation of $3,617,000. However, the actuarial valuation of the fund received last Friday, City Manager David Recor said, called for a required contribution of only $3,083,000. The OPEB fund is separate from the city’s pension funds, and covers non-pension retirement benefits, namely post-retirement health insurance. The valuation – which takes into account factors such as employees’ ages, health history, mortality, and projected retirement dates in order to determine the level of funding needed to cover future costs – is done roughly every two years. The report released last week calls for the city to allocate $3,207,000 for the 2015-2016 budget. Out of the $750,000 cost reduc-

tion, Recor noted, roughly $90,000 of health expenses were for employees whose cost is allocated to enterprise funds, which are run quasi-independently of the city’s taxation-based general fund. This leaves the town with

ings in place until after the first three months of the fiscal year. Fiscal years run from July 1 to June 30. Given the city’s seasonal nature, the first two months of any given fiscal year are the busiest of the entire span. By the end of September, the third month o the budget cycle, the city has made roughly half of its revenues for the entire year and gone through half of its expenses. “I would like to revisit it in October when we have the first budget amendment, and see where we are in that timeframe,” agreed Council Secretary Mary Knight. Every year, the city typically edges up its estimates for revenues – such as taxes, permits, and fees – by only a small amount, and realizes a surplus at the end of the year when those revenues exceed performance. This year, to balance the budget, many of those estimates have been increased higher than normal – such as building permits, which were hiked $50,000 last week in order to zero the balance sheet. This gives the city much less wiggle room for revenue performance. “Having the $660,000 in available balance will give us much more flexibility later in the year,” said city Budget Manager Jennie Knapp. Any funds not needed by the end of the summer, Council President Lloyd Martin noted, would go toward street paving per the city’s policy. The allocation for road repairs this year is currently at around $1.3 million, short of the city’s $2 million annual goal. In 2007, a study of city streets revealed $40 million in repairs over the next 20 years. It is unknown how that number has changed due to inflation or to repairs made in the past seven years, but Recor said the issue needs revisiting in order to determine how urgent the council believes it to be. “If you made the choice to address the issue over a five-year period rather than a ten-year, for instance, there would obviously be an increased cost,” Recor said. “We can have that discussion, because we talk about it theoretically as if we don’t know what these costs will be , but let’s not only identify the cost of the roads but what it will come out to cost the taxpayer.” The OPEB report, compiled by consulting firm Bolton Partners, notes that “an increase due to the passage of time was more than offset by decreases due to updated data, favorable claims experience, and updating the trend to the most recent table released by SOA [the Society of Actuaries].” A table comparing the 2013 actuarial valuation with the current report notes the majority of the savings, $351,000, as the result of changes in assumptions other than demographic and claims experience. Ocean City Today has received a copy of the valuation and will report more on the city’s OPEB fund in coming weeks.

Ocean City Fire Department reminds citizens to grill safe About one-third of outdoor cooking fires begin on attached deck or balcony (May 9, 2014) Spring has sprung and as temperatures begin to rise, there is nothing like outdoor grilling to soak up the sunshine. Before you fire up the grill, the Ocean City Fire Department would like to remind residents and visitors to use a few simple outdoor cooking tips to make sure your backyard cookouts are safe and enjoyable. “A grill placed too close to anything that can burn is a fire hazard,” said Ocean City Fire Marshal David Hartley. “According to the National Fire Protection Association, gas and charcoal grills cause close to 2,900 structure fires, 5,000 outdoor fires, and result in property loss of close to $30,000,000 each year. More than one-third of all outdoor cooking related fires begin on an attached deck or balcony. It is important to remember to keep grills a safe distance away from any building.” The Town of Ocean City does not allow grills or other outdoor cooking equipment to be used within 20 feet of multi-family dwellings. Multi-family dwellings are those buildings that contain three or more dwelling units, which

may include townhouse complexes. Prior to use, gas grills should be checked to make sure all tank hoses and burners are in good working condition, and free of cracks and leaks. If your grill has a gas leak and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using again. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. While in use, always maintain a safe zone around the grill to prevent children or pets from getting injured. It is important to never leave your grill unattended and keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. Charcoal grill users should be sure that coals are completely cool before disposing of in a non-combustible container. Lastly, never use outdoor cooking equipment inside, as this creates a significant fire and carbon monoxide hazard. “These are just a few simple tips you can follow to ensure your backyard gatherings are safe for all to enjoy,” Hartley said. For more information, contact the Ocean City Fire Department, Office of the Fire Marshal, at 410-289-8780 or visit www.nfpa.org

Girls finish fourth in Bayside meet; Decatur boys 8th

The Stephen Decatur baseball team celebrates after winning the Bayside Conference championship Tuesday night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. Decatur outscored Colonel Richardson 5-2 to take home the title.

Decatur captures Bayside crown Tied 2-2, Borradaile drives in three, Seahawks hold on to win championship, 5-2

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) In 2009, the Stephen Decatur and Colonel Richardson baseball teams earned spots in the Bayside Conference championship game. Unfortunately, that match was rained out and the teams were declared co-champions. Five years later, the squads found themselves pitted against each other again. This time, the sky was clear for the championship title match Tuesday at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said the Seahawks go into every game confident they can win and Tuesday’s match was no exception. The boys were pumped up and ready to compete. Decatur took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second. Colonel Richardson evened the score in the bottom of the inning.

Junior Justin Meekins’ triple in the third inning gave the Seahawks the goahead run. The Colonels tied it 2-2 in the fifth inning. With the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning, senior Andrew Borradaile stepped up to the plate. On a 3-2 count, Borradaile made contact, hitting the ball down the third base line. Coach Ferro Ferro said he waved the base runners home as their teammates cheered them on. The Seahawks led 5-2 and held on for the victory to bring home the program’s first outright title. “It’s nice to finally get one. It’s been a long time coming,” Ferro said. “It’s an award for putting in the effort during the season.” Decatur junior pitcher Grant Donahue threw a complete game. He struck out eight, allowed three hits and walked six Colonels. Meekins went 2-for-2 (double, triple) with 1 RBI. Senior Jacob Hick-

man had a single, double and 1 RBI. Senior Nick Bennett and Borradaile (3 RBIs) went 1-for-3. Ferro was pleased with the Seahawks’ performance, overall. “We played well. We made plays and they did what they had to do,” he said. “We had to play quality defense and we had timely hits.” Decatur (18-1) earned the No. 1 seed in Section I of the 3A South Region tournament bracket and a first-round bye. On Monday at 4 p.m., the Seahawks will host the winner of today’s, Friday’s, game between the No. 4 James M. Bennett Clippers and the No. 5 Northern Patriots (Calvert County). Decatur played Bennett twice this season and won both match-ups. “Everybody in 3A is solid,” Ferro said. To be successful in the post-season, Ferro said the Seahawks need to “throw more strikes, limit walks, keep playing defense and have timely hitting.” “We just need to keep doing what we’re doing and play good baseball,” he said.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) Stephen Decatur’s girls’ outdoor track team finished fourth, while the boys’ squad placed eighth during the May 2 Bayside Conference championship meet in Cambridge. Kent Island took top honors in the girls’ competition with 151 points. North Caroline was second with 125.5 points and Cambridge placed third (115). Decatur scored 76.5 points for fourth place. Senior Rebecca Lederman earned top-four finishes in three events. She crossed the finish line second in the 400meter dash (1:03.11), third in the 100meter run (13.03 seconds) and fourth in the 200-meter event (27.71 seconds). Sophomore Emily Cook scored a second-place award in the 100-meter hurdles (16.93 seconds). She took fourth in the 300-meter hurdles event (52.41 seconds). Junior Hannah Wilson tied for second place in the pole vault (7 feet 6 inches) with Kent Island’s Valerie Abbott. Wilson’s high jump of 4 feet 6 inches was good for fourth place. Junior Amari Harmon won fourth place in the long jump (14 feet 1.5 inches). Sophomore Alisa Purnell threw the discus 81 feet 10 inches, putting her in the fourth-place spot. Takia Long, a sophomore, hurled the shot put 29 feet 4 inches to finish in fourth place. “Overall, I thought the girls performed pretty well,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “They finished right where I expected and they were the top team out of the Bayside South schools, which I thought was a reasonable goal going in.” Kent Island won the boys’ competition with 149 points. North Caroline (99) and Wi-Hi (83) rounded out the top three teams. Decatur tallied 29 points for eighth place. The Decatur boys’ 800-meter relay team was the only top-four finisher for the Seahawks. Seniors JJ Purnell and Tayevon Mills and juniors Jakhai Woodard and John Lambrinos completed the race in 1:35.18, good for third place. “I thought the boys would have done better, but there were a few boys who didn’t individually do what I expected of them,” Stigler said. “Overall, about half of the boys ran their best and the other half did not. The problem was that the majority of the boys we needed to perform well and really had a shot to place higher did not do so great.” See SD Page 36

SD track athletes to compete in 3A South Reg. meet Continued from Page 35 The two-day 3A South Regional meet is scheduled for Thursday and Saturday, May 15 and 17, at Westlake High School in Waldorf. “Basically, we need to work really hard for the next week or so to get ourselves ready for the regional meet. If we do that and if our athletes have a good day for the regional meet, I think that we will be in pretty good shape,” Stigler said Monday. “Competition will probably be tough, but I think it will be a lot better than the 3A East Region that we have been in for the past few years. I think we have a shot to have some individuals qualify for the state championships, but we will just have to wait and see what happens at the meet.”

WP and Sts. Peter & Paul to battle in ESIAC title game

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) Worcester Prep’s girls’ lacrosse team ended the regular season with a bang, edging out Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, 17-15 in overtime Tuesday in Easton. The win boosted the Lady Mallards’ record to 13-0. “We knew that it was going to be a really tough game, that Sts. Peter & Paul was going to come out wanting to beat us after we beat them 9-8 earlier in the season,” said Prep Coach Allie Gamble. At the halftime break, Worcester led 10-7. The Mallards maintained an advantage throughout the second half, but the Sabres started to chip away at the lead. The home team evened the score 15-15 with 21 seconds remaining to force overtime. “We forced the ball a couple times, which is what let them come back. We were up four goals with six minutes left,” Gamble said. Seniors Kristen Shriver and Alie Greer, a team captain, scored for the Mallards in the first three-minute extra period. The Prep team possessed the ball and killed the clock in the second overtime. “I think we played really well. Our girls rallied,” Gamble said. Shriver led Worcester with six goals. Senior captain Lilly DiNardo chipped in with three goals. Greer contributed with two goals and two assists. Junior Molly Soule tallied two goals and an assist. Senior goalie Maddie Pilchard made 12 saves. Earning the No. 1 seed in the ESIAC tournament, the Prep team hosted the No. 4 Salisbury School Dragons Wednesday for semifinals action. Worcester outscored Salisbury 13-2 in the first half. The Mallards won the game, 19-3. Senior Cynthia Delaney netted four shots and had one assist. Shriver logged three goals and one assist. McKenna Shanahan, a senior, tallied two goals. Pilchard started the game and was only challenged once. Junior Carolyn Dorey stopped three Salisbury shots. “I told them I know they can dodge, I know they can run fast breaks, we just wanted to make sure that we ran through all our plays,” Gamble said. “We wanted to make sure we’re totally prepared and have every play down for Friday.” Worcester (14-0) will battle Sts. Peter & Paul for the third time this season at 4 p.m. today, Friday, in Berlin in the ESIAC title game. The Mallards captured the trophy in 2013 with a 20-5 victory over the Sabres in the championship match. “It’s a huge game. I think there’s just a few things we have to tweak and hopefully we’ll be ready,” Gamble said Wednesday. “I feel like they know us really well by now, but we know them really well, too…Our defense played really strong [Tuesday] and if we play strong on Friday we’ll be fine. We’ve just got to put the ball in the back of the net.”

Mallards chasing ESIAC championship titles

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) In a combined effort, Worcester Prep edged out the Gunston Day Herons, 3-2, on the tennis courts in Berlin Monday. “In the unique format created by the shortage of players for the Gunston netters, the boys gained an assist from the girls’ team to clinch the victory,” said Worcester Coach Keith Coleman. Senior captain Chase Schmehling won his second singles match, 8-2. Junior Kyle Chandler outscored his

third singles opponent, 8-5. The Lady Mallards helped secure the victory for Worcester. Juniors Tatjana Kondraschow and Fiona Reid teamed up for doubles action. The Mallards trailed 5-2, but fought back to win, 8-5. Gunston, Worcester, Sts. Peter & Paul and Salisbury School will compete in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference tournament today, Friday, at Salisbury University. It is a single-elimination tournament and matches will be an eightgame pro set.

The Lady Mallards are going for their ninth ESIAC championship title. Playing singles for Worcester will be Kondraschow, sophomore Sonya Walker and junior Mattie Maull. Teaming up for doubles competition will be senior captain Hannah Esham/sophomore Isabella Carulli, senior captain Lydia Pritchard/junior Paige Evans and sophomore Erika/ Reid. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement across the board,” since the beginning of the season, said Prep Coach

Cyndee Hudson. “The girls are excited about the tournament, especially since we’ve won it since its inception. They really want to amp up their game. They’re really looking forward to it.” Junior Quinn Lukas and Schmehling will compete as singles. Chandler and junior Erik Zorn will partner for doubles action. Sophomore Jason Cook and junior Chris Choy will also join forces for doubles competition. “I believe most of our players are See LADY Page 38

Decatur softball team takes down Crisfield squad twice lowed only one hit. Offensively, she had two singles. Junior Marina Jones went 2-for-3 with one walk. Freshman Samantha Kefauver had one hit and was walked three times. Thirteen Decatur batters got on base by walk. The Seahawks logged 13 hits. Decatur finished the regular season with a 9-8 record, which Coach Heather Patnode was pleased with. “[It] beats the .500 I had as a goal this year. I’m very proud of my girls and the fight they have in them,” she said. The Seahawks received the No. 3 seed in Section I of the 3A South Region tournament bracket. Decatur was awarded a first-round bye and will play the No. 2 Northern Patriots (Calvert County) on the road in the second round, Monday at 4:30 p.m. “I think if we work really hard over the next two days and prepare to play teams like Mardela we should be competitive in playoffs,” Patnode said Tuesday. “The girls want to win and play well for themselves, their school and their coaches. We need to get the mindset that it’s one and done now and work extra hard to prepare for that.”

Mallards have sights set on ESIAC championship trophy

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) Although the Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team is out of contention for a Metro Independent Lacrosse League title, the Mallards still have the chance to take home an Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference trophy. On Wednesday, Prep Coach Kevin Gates said he “got a bad vibe” on the bus ride to Huntingtown to battle the Calverton Cougars. When the Mallards stepped onto the field, it was far from their best performance. Calverton won the MILL semifinal game, 15-3. “For some reason, we weren’t ready to play,” he said. “I don’t know where our heads were at.” Team captains, sophomore Wyatt

Richins (one assist) and senior Jack Marshall, and junior Sam Deeley each scored a goal for Worcester. Prep senior goalie Isaiah Nsah recorded 15 saves. “We want to forget about this game and wipe it out of our memory banks,” Gates said. The Mallards (10-5) will compete for their sixth consecutive ESIAC championship title today, Friday. The Gunston Day Herons will travel to Berlin to face the Prep team at 4 p.m. The two teams went head-to-head on May 2. Worcester won 16-2. “We want to finish the season strong, the way we should. Hopefully, they come out with more focus then they did [Wednesday against Calverton],” Gates said.

Decatur struggles against powerful Kent Island team

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) The Kent Island Buccaneers were just too much for the Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team to handle during Tuesday’s Bayside Conference championship game in Easton. Kent Island led 7-1 at halftime and went on to win, 15-2. Juniors Matt LeCompte and Jake Lathroum tallied Decatur’s goals. “Our offense just couldn’t beat their defense. We weren’t getting good shots off at all,” said Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum. “We just ran into a better team. They’re an excellent team. That’s why they’re ranked No. 1 in the state (according to laxpower.com).” Lathroum said Decatur goalie, junior captain Will Hastings, was stellar in the cage. “He probably had his best game of the season,” he said. Hastings stopped 11 Kent Island shots. One positive the Seahawks can take from the game is that the boys fought until the final whistle, Lathroum said. “They hustled and they never gave up,” Lathroum said. “They kept fighting.” Decatur (11-4) received the No. 2 seed in Section I of the 3A-2A East Region tournament bracket and was awarded a first-round bye. The Berlin squad will host the No. 3 Parkside Rams today, Friday, at 6:45 p.m. Decatur easily handled Parkside during the regular season, winning 231 and 16-0. If Decatur gets a victory over Parkside, the squad will most likely face Kent Island on Monday in Stevensville. The Buccaneers are scheduled to play the No. 4 James M. Bennett Clippers today, who they beat 18-5 during the regular season. Lathroum said Wednesday that he planned to go over game film from the Bayside match in order to correct the mistakes the Seahawks made and devise a strategy to come out on the winning end Monday. “We’re going to go up there with the attitude that we’re going to win,” he said. “We haven’t been able to get past that spot (in the bracket). They’re our wall and we have to break through it.”

Decatur scored four runs in the first inning during this week’s game against Crisfield. The Seahawks tacked Coach Patnode on two additional runs in the second inning to take a 6-0 lead. The Crabbers tallied two runs in the bottom of the second. The visiting Berlin squad added one run in the third and eight in the fourth to gain a 15-2 advantage. Crisfield scored its third and final run in the fourth inning. The Seahawks wrapped up the game in the fifth, with four batters crossing home plate.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team suffered a 15-11 loss to the Queen Anne’s Lions in the Bayside Conference championship game Tuesday in Easton. “It was a tough battle. Even though it was four goals, the game was tighter than that,” said Decatur Coach Bob Musitano. “It was a good game.” Decatur junior goalie Jillian Petito came up with several big saves. She stopped 12 shots. “They just outplayed us. Our offense was not as settled as I would have liked it to be,” Musitano said. “We had 11 goals and only four assists, which tells me that it was more of an individual effort than a team offense.” Junior Payton VanKirk was Decatur’s top producer with four goals and two assists.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) Eight Stephen Decatur High School tennis players will compete in the District VIII tournament, May 13-14, in Cambridge. “We did pretty well against the [Bayside Conference] South schools, but regionals has both north and south schools which makes it a lot harder,” said Decatur Coach Steve Berquist. “We should do well the first day at regionals. I think we’ll have a good chance at winning a match or two. Getting to states might be a different story, but I think we should all be competitive the first day.” Senior John Niedfeldt and junior Delaney Iacona will represent Decatur in the boys’ and girls’ singles competition. Senior Zach Elmer and sophomore

Logan Romberger will battle in boys’ doubles competition. Seniors Ashley DePaul and Charlotte Petsche will take the court for girls’ doubles action. Chase Eslin and Valerie Petsche, both seniors, will team up for mixed doubles play. “The competition at districts is always tough. It brings together the best players of each team, so advancing to the state tournament is tough,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “Each person/doubles team needs to play four really good matches in a row to get through the district tournament. We have struggled with James M. Bennett and Parkside this season, so we’ll have our work cut out for us to advance through.”

Solito representing region in national gymnastics meet

By Donald Putnam Intern (May 9, 2014) At age 13, most teens are preparing for high school and the many adjustments to come. Local gymnast Cade Solito, however, has more weight on his shoulders. Solito is a level nine menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitor who performed against 192 other gymnasts in his age group during the Region 7 competition this month in Landover, Md. His comCade Solito petitors included gymnasts from seven states including Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York. Solito finished in the top 10 qualifiers who will represent the region at the Junior Olympic National competition in Long Beach, Calif., May 6-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the prize in my sights for quite awhile now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my mind set on it, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of where me and my team have gotten this far because I certainly would be nowhere without my trainers,â&#x20AC;? Solito said. Before attending the national competition, Solito and other qualifiers attended a week-long, intensive training camp in Strausburg, Pa., following the regional competition. There, routines and performances were critiqued by regional judges to prepare them for the big competition.Â Solito said the experience was nothing short of beneficial.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advice they gave me will definitely be very helpful, I am very lucky to have had that kind of opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said. Solito has been working toward these goals since he could first step onto the mat at age 2, when his mother, Carmella Solito, opened Twisters Gym-

Humane society hosts golf tourney

(May 9, 2014) The first Worcester County Humane Society Golf Tournament, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pars for Paws,â&#x20AC;? will take place, Thursday, June 5 at Eagles Landing Golf Course with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Entry fee is $120 per player and includes a box lunch, event T shirt, and a gathering at Harborside restaurant after the tournament. Money raised will benefit the Worcester County Humane Society.

nastics of Berlin in 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since he started, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed the potential. He has always been ahead of everyone else as far as his skills and always seemed more motivated. While other kids were taking their lunch breaks, he would keep working until he was doing it right,â&#x20AC;? she said.Â The younger Solito trains every week, Monday through Thursday, for five hours. In the beginning of his training he focuses on strength, and then progresses into the rehearsal of his routines.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judges are focused on the difficulty of the routine as well as the way you present it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for pointed toes and the positioning of your body,â&#x20AC;? he said. Before this year of competitions, the Solitos traveled the U.S. to states including Oregon, Georgia, Colorado and Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way to get where he is and he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let up at all. His motivation keeps getting stronger and stronger and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of him,â&#x20AC;? his mother said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has achieved the greatest possible gymnastics awards for his age and this entire process has taught him so much beyond the mat. He has learned how to persevere and stay focused even when things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going the way he wants them to. As a mother, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t me more proud.â&#x20AC;?

OCDC honors group’s membership Record 150 façade project renovations completed with nine additional in works

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) The Ocean City Development Corporation held its annual meeting last week, honoring the group’s membership as well as its extensive and expanding range of re-development incentive programs. The group’s major achievement since its incorporation in 2000 as a non-profit foundation - is a record 150 façade renovation projects completed as of this year, with nine more in the works. The facade initiative – in which OCDC provides a subsidy to property owners renovating the exteriors of aging buildings – has moved at a particularly fevered pitch in the last three years, as OCDC’s 100th façade project was completed in 2011. On Wednesday, OCDC recognized two particular standout projects of the 17 done in 2013. The Marina Deck restaurant at 306 Dorchester Street,

owned by Dennis Kalchthaler, was honored along with the Old Town Apartments building at 10 8th Street, owned by Peter and Kozmas Gjikuria. Under the program, OCDC will pay for one-third, with a cap of $5,000, of the cost of any façade improvements that will better the streetscape of downtown Ocean City. But with this jolt of public funding, many property owners go far beyond what is required of them. In fact, $5 million of combined private money has gone into the 150 projects, far exceeding the expected ratio of public-to-private dollars. OCDC also offers a number of incentives for other types of renovation as well as new construction. Over the past three years, the group has sponsored 37 projects under the Green Building Initiatives Program., with over $500,000 of private investment. This program uses the same funding schedule as the façade program to sponsor energy-efficiency improvements, making many older structures more habitable in both summer and winter. Additionally, OCDC backed a

$90,000 state grant this past year for the demolition and reconstruction of the condemned building at Talbot Street and Baltimore Avenue, which is owned by Fat Daddy’s Restaurant. Fat Daddy’s owner Ed Braude was honored for the project, which now contains a larger restaurant and separate retail space as well as a 40-bed housing area for seasonal employees. Also honored for new construction was the residential building at 5 12th Street, owned by the Hetrick family. Captain Bill Bunting’s Angler Restaurant at 312 Talbot Street, owned by the Bunting family, was also honored for renovation work, as was the Romarletta/Korrell house at 611 Baltimore Avenue, owned by Capt. Harry Korrell. OCDC’s newest initiative is the Business Assistance Program, which sponsors interior build-outs of existing buildings for new commercial uses. Three projects have been done so far, with De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub being honored for the rehabilitation of the former Melvin’s Steakhouse on First Street and Philadelphia Avenue. See HARRISON Page 45

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 9, 2014) The Maryland Association of Realtors issued a news release reiterating that effective May 1, all buyers of older properties will see a premium rate reduction under the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) labels older properties “pre-FIRM”, and these are properties that were built before the effective date of the first Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for a community. This means they were built before detailed flood hazard data and flood elevations were provided to the community and usually before the community enacted comprehensive regulations on floodplain regulation. Pre-FIRM buildings can be insured using “subsidized” rates. Instead of jumping to “full cost” for flood insurance, new buyers of older properties will assume the seller’s Oct-2013 rate for a preFIRM property. FEMA also extended the rate relief so all pre-FIRM properties (including the second homes and businesses) will begin paying Oct-2013 rates when they purchase or renew their flood insurance after May 1, including: • ALL buyers of a pre-FIRM property, not just those whose seller has an existing policy; • ALL recent owners who apply for a new flood insurance policy on a pre-FIRM property; • ALL recent owners who reinstate an old pre-FIRM policy that previously lapsed for any reason; • ALL recent owners who renew a policy on a pre-FIRM property bought or newly insured after the 2012 Biggert-Waters law. It was noted that while expediting the rate relief, FEMA must still issue refunds to all those who paid more than their Oct-2013 rate. NAR will continue working with FEMA and Congress to quickly issue these refunds to anyone overcharged for flood insurance under Biggert-Waters. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed REALTOR®with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Tucker opens new ‘boutique’ photo studio on Bdwk.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) A local photographer is branching out on her own, launching a new boutique studio last week on the Boardwalk at 12th Street, just around the corner of Decatur House. Kimberly Tucker said opening her namesake Kimberly Tucker Photography was a huge risk, but it’s one she’s been preparing for her whole life. “I always had a camera with me everywhere I went,” Tucker recalled of her childhood. “I remember wanting to take pictures of everything.” Tucker’s photography career officially launched in high school, when she took up work taking photos at the mall during Christmas and Easter. She took a break from the business to pursue a career in marketing, however, until a life-changing event in 1999. “My mom passed away when I was 21,” Tucker said, “and within 24 hours, I was riffling through every See PHOTO Page 46

As a non-profit, OCDC draws funding for its programs through grants and donations, including the annual golf tournament fundraiser, which will be held Oct. 2 this year. OCDC also receives considerable grant funding from federal, state, and county agencies, and is given a cut of parking meter revenue at the inlet lot per an agreement with the Town of Ocean City. OCDC will also continue to sponsor community re-vitalization initiatives such as public art projects, bike racks, and business directory signs on the Boardwalk. The group also holds a Thursday concert series at Sunset Park on Worcester Street, car shows at the Somerset Street Plaza, and the annual “Clean Sweep” trash pickup.

Photo ‘boutique’ studio opens on Boardwalk Continued from Page 45 drawer, every box throughout the house for pictures — pictures of my mom and pictures of me with my mom. “I did not have enough pictures. From that point on, every family function, every family event, I had a camera.” Tucker’s photography career was reborn and she spent hours researching the art on her computer, supplementing a natural eye with classes, workshops and photography conferences. She landed her first gig by chance when a friend at the Atlantic Hotel asked her to shoot a wedding. “I made a name for my business, made a Facebook page, got my insurance… I made a real business since day one,” Tucker said. Her repertoire includes wedding photos, family scenes, baby shots, senior portraits and boudoir collections, but her favorite shoots are those that empower her subjects, Tucker said. She is especially fond of her senior girls, who “are on this cusp of two completely different worlds.” “They’re at this very special time in their lives and we want them to feel special,” she said. She also enjoys boudoir sessions, where women get their hair and makeup done for a tastefully sexy series of photos.

PHOTOS COURTESY KIMBERLY TUCKER PHOTOGRAPHY

Kimberly Tucker launches her new photo studio, Kimberly Tucker Photography, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week. The 12th Street business offers packages from family, senior and baby portraits to wedding collections and boudoir sessions.

“As women, as moms, as wives, we get stuck in such a rut. You’re so busy taking care of everyone else that you lose yourself,” said the mom of two. “All of a sudden, they’re transformed.” Coming from a co-op photography studio in West Ocean City to her own

studio was “a huge risk,” Tucker said, “but there is no reward without the risk.” She researched with the help of local business associations before landing in her 12th Street studio — a location she hopes will lend itself to

exposure thanks to Boardwalk traffic and shoots at the iconic jetty. Even if individuals don’t frequent her 12th Street business, though, Tucker urges everyone to print their photos. “Nowadays people are so quick to take photos on their iPhone and their cameras, and that’s it. Nothing happens to them,” she said. “You’re documenting your life. When someone’s gone and we have those pictures, they’re so glad.” Tucker offers family and senior portrait packages starting at $200 and wedding collections starting at $2,300. The packages are customizable and can include cards for graduations, birth announcements and Christmas, digital images, photo albums, canvasses, wall murals and cutouts, she said. The 12th Street studio is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day, though customers should call ahead to make an appointment, usually available next-day.

Fin City Brewing Co. releases two new beers Angler Ale, Sneaky Wheat staples unveiled by brewery located 30 feet above bar

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Fin City Brewing Co., based inside of Hooper’s Crab House, released a pair of new staple beers last week to the public. The unconventional brewery, set 30 feet above a busy bar, has been working around the clock in preparation for the new releases. Angler Ale and Sneaky Wheat, two beers that had previously only been available on tap at Hooper’s, are now available in retail stores and in other locals bars and restaurants. “Some people think we just stir some stuff in hot water and beer

pops out,” said brewer Mike Glavich. “It’s definitely a lot of work and our brewery is especially challenging because everything we do is 30 feet in the air. All the grain has to be brought up; all the spent grain, which is twice as heavy, has to be brought back down. “Quite frankly there are no advantages, except it’s out of our way and it helps the functionality of the restaurant,” Glavich continued. “It’s the only space that we have, so we use it.” Brewed with Noble Saaz hops, the Angler Ale comes in at 20 IBU and 4 percent a.b.v. “It has some really good flavor, but it’s a really easy-drinking session ale for summer,” said brewmaster and Fin City founder Vince Wright. “It drinks kind of like a pilsner with a lit-

tle bit more body.” The Sneaky Wheat, brewed with East Kent Golding hops and containing a subtle orange aroma and flavor hints of coriander and orange peel, is similarly light at 22 IBU and 5.4 percent a.b.v. “It’s another easy-drinking, great for summer beer,” Wright said. “It’s good all year round, but it really, really goes over well in the summer.” Each beer takes about 21 days to produce from boil to packaging. Wright said the new beers pair well with fresh steamed crabs, the staple of Hooper’s. “We started out in a crab house, so we try to prepare beers that are easy drinking that pair well with the food they have on the menu,” he said. “So we came up with some lighter beers that people could sit down and have

more than one and be more of a session beer.” Both beers, in production since 2007, will be available in six packs and cases in retail stores. The brewery is also working on an as-yet untitled IPA due out this summer. “We’ll probably just have that in kegs for right now,” said Glavich. “We have a black IPA, which is one of our staple beers, and that’s been out for quite a while. We use a lot of chocolate and roasted malts, so it comes out jet black almost like you’d expect a stout or a port, but it’s as light as a hoppy pale ale. It’s definitely our most unique beer – there’s not a lot of black IPAs that are out there in the market today. The new IPA will be more traditional.” For more information visit www.fincitybrewing.com.

Survivors walk the ceremonial first lap during the 2013 North Worcester County Relay For Life at Frontier Town Campground in West Ocean City. The 2014 event will begin at 6 p.m. tonight, Friday, with an opening ceremony.

Relay for Life kicks off tonight ACS fundraiser at Frontier Town begins at 6 p.m. and runs through 6 a.m. Sat.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 9, 2014) The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is an annual all-night walk and gathering that brings together hundreds–if not thousands–of people to celebrate survivorship, remember loved ones who lost their battle with cancer and show support to those currently fighting the disease. The 2014 North Worcester County Relay For Life is scheduled to take place this evening, May 9, at Frontier Town Campground, located off Route 611 in West Ocean City. “It’s a way to participate with your community to help raise money in the fight against cancer,” said Dawn Hodge, event co-chairwoman. The theme for the overnight party is “Life is Good.” Each team will have its own campsite that members can decorate to represent the theme. “Teams can decorate any way they want. What ever ‘Life is Good’ means

to you,” Hodge said. Teams may still register for a campsite. Registration begins at 4 p.m. today, Friday. Individuals are also invited to participate. “We have teams of one up to a dozen or more,” Hodge said. According to www.relayforlife.org/northworcestermd as of Tuesday, 42 teams (approximately 267 people) had signed up for the event, which will begin tonight at and continue until 6 a.m. Saturday. The goal for 2014 is to have 124 survivors attend and to generate $160,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $117,000 had been raised as of Tuesday, Hodge said. “Teams have been doing a good job raising money,” she said. Many teams participating this year have taken part in the event before. A number of those teams have new members this year, Hodge said. This year, participants will have until Aug. 31, to submit their final donations. Hodge encourages all participants to continue their fundraising efforts throughout the spring and summer. During the 12-hour fundraiser,

members of each team will take turns walking laps around the campground track. Hodge said the laps have been revamped this year. Hundreds of walkers will participate and help to raise money for cancer research, awareness, advocacy, patient services and educational programs in the area.

Page 69 Area restaurants to battle for best crab soup award

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Local eateries will lug more than 100 gallons of their best soups to the Boardwalk this weekend to vie for the title “Best Crab Soup” at the Ocean City Downtown Association’s 10th annual White Marlin Festival Crab Soup Cookoff. A dozen resort restaurants, including Fager’s Island, Seacrets, Mother’s Cantina and Pickles Pub, will be on hand at the festival tomorrow, dishing up samples of their red and white crab soups — Maryland style, cream of crab, bisque or any other. For $12 per ticket, attendees can sample the 24 dishes and vote for their favorites from 12-3 p.m. at Somerset Street Plaza, between the Boardwalk and Baltimore Avenue. But even those who don’t like seafood can enjoy the free festival, said Downtown Association Administrator Mary Ann Manganello. “It’s really kind of a festival atmosphere. It’s not just walking in and trying soup — everybody comes and has fun,” she said. In addition to the samples, there will be children’s activities such as face painting and arts and crafts, as well as a clown. Go With the Flo and One Night Stand will play live music from noon to 4 p.m. Each year, Ocean City restaurants attend the festival to vie for the title “Best Crab Soup,” determined by popular vote among ticket-holders. Last year, around 600 gathered to sample the recipes, dubbing Mother’s Cantina the champion of white crab soup and Fager’s Island the same for red crab soup. New this year, the Downtown Association will also award a prize for the bestdecorated booth, as competitors have brought everything from huge ice sculptors to a giant crab mascot to deck out their areas in the past, Manganello said. Last year, the cook-off raised about $6,600 for the Downtown Association, which supports businesses, residents and visitors in Ocean City’s downtown area. “That money goes back into the other things that we do for the downtown community— other events that we put on,” Manganello said. Those events include Light Up Downtown, a celebration at Sunset Park in early December, and the Wicomico Street Winter Festival, which boosts downtown business during November. The Association is also working on a campaign to bring Christmas lights back to Ocean City south of 17th Street. “All the money from our events goes back into supporting the downtown See SAMPLE Page 70

Relay for Life fundraiser for American Cancer Society

Hundreds of people attend the Ocean City Downtown Association’s ninth annual White Marlin Festival last year on the Somerset Street Plaza. This year's festival will take place Saturday.

Sample soups, cast vote for favorite red and white blends Continued from Page 69 merchants and the tourists frequenting the Boardwalk,” Manganello said. “The events bring tourists to downtown and to enable the businesses to stay open in the shoulder season.” She estimates that nearly 1,000 made their way through the White Marlin Festival last year — a huge increase since its inception 10 years ago, when just five restaurants entered the “Best Crab Soup” contest.

Stop by the festival and crab soup cook-off tomorrow, Saturday, from 123 p.m. for a chance to sample some of the resort’s best crab soups and enjoy live entertainment. Tickets to sample and vote on the best soups cost $12 per person, though visitors can enjoy the other activities free of charge. Visit www.downtownassociation.net to learn more about the Ocean City Downtown Association.

Continued from Page 69 cer survivors will follow with music provided by Rick Kennedy. Survivors will be joined by their caregivers and supporters for the second lap of the evening. Team captains will walk the third lap. The fourth lap is for children, and in honor of Mother’s Day, the fifth lap of the night will be dedicated to moms. Themes for some of the other laps include “Road to Recovery,” “Blow Away Cancer,” “Leap Frog,” “Selfie” (#relayforlife) and “Aloha” (wear your best Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt). The final walk around the track will be the “Celebrate every day like it is your birthday” lap because the American Cancer Society “is the official sponsor of birthdays. ACS helps people celebrate more birthdays by saving lives, by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.” Other activities scheduled throughout the night include a scavenger hunt, talent show, BINGO and hayrides. Hodge said a number of surprises are also planned. Participants can also purchase a $10 raffle ticket for the chance to win a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA. The drawing will take place Oct. 12. Many of the teams will also hold

fundraisers throughout the evening. The Luminary Ceremony of Remembrance will take place at 8:15 p.m. Luminaria, which will line the track illuminating the night, will be available to purchase from 4-7:30 p.m. Bags cost $10, and tiki torches $25. Participants are invited to light candles in memory of, or in honor of, a loved one. The “Fight Back Ceremony” will follow at 8:45 p.m., led by Pastor Tina Whaley of Bates United Methodist Church in Snow Hill. The closing ceremonies will take place at 6 a.m. Saturday morning.

Search “Relay For Life North Worcester County Maryland” on Facebook. In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors to Most Blessed Sacrament School, off Route 589 in Berlin. Check the Web site or Facebook page for updates. Approximately four million people participate annually in Relay for Life in more than 5,200 communities. Relay takes place not only in the U.S., but in more than 20 countries as well.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Untangling personal problems might take more time than the impatient Lamb expected. But it’s important to hang in there until all those knotty situations are straightened out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You

still need to work out last-minute snags in your dealings with a rival. Hold your ground despite a perceived lack of support. Things should turn around before you know it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Best

not to delay preparing for that upcoming family event. The sooner you get things started, the better chance you have of finding potential problems and making needed changes.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The romantic Moon Child might be reluctant to see the reality behind that “ideal” situation. But by midweek, the practical Crab emerges to help clear away the moonbeams.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although the Big Cat might be receptive to more “purr-suasion” to get you to agree to a workplace change, make sure you can distinguish the fine line between facts and flattery. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your positive attitude in the

workplace helps to get you noticed by the right people. Now go ahead and use some of that new self-confidence to help shore up a personal relationship.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although you might still have to

work out some problems with a business partner, things go more smoothly on the home front. An investment opportunity might need more study.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Don’t be reluctant to act on your

suspicion. Even if others see nothing wrong, the astute Scorpio could sense an underlying problem that isn’t always obvious on the surface.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new opportunity pres-

ents some obstacles that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Delaying action in hopes that the problems will go away could be counterproductive.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A friend or family member’s

request might carry some hidden factors that could later create problems. Be sure you know all the facts before you make your decision.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A setback in implementing a

plan could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Use the downtime to rework your original concepts and see where changes could be made.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

You might not be consciously fishing for compliments, but admit it — won’t you feel great when your efforts are noticed? So accept the praise gracefully. You earned it.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of beauty in your personal life extends to your efforts to protect and preserve the natural world around you.

Walk to raise funds for Nat. Multiple Sclerosis Society

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Hundreds will walk the boards Saturday to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to research a cure for MS and help those living with the disease address its challenges. Walk MS – Ocean City is the last of Maryland’s 11 annual walks to

fundraise for a cure for the disease that impacts 10,000 living in the state. Registration starts at 9 a.m. at the inlet for the 5K walk, which takes participants up the Boardwalk to 27th Street and back, said Melissa Ward, Community Relations Manager at the National MS Society. “Ocean City is certainly one of our most See ABOUT Page 76

Continued from Page 72 time, provide diners with deals.” Restaurant Week helps “bring in new faces and show them what we’re all about,” said Executive Chef Travis Wright, of West Ocean City’s Shark on the Harbor restaurant. For him, that’s bringing in local produce and off-the-dock seafood to inspire an ever-changing menu. Sunday through Thursday during dinner, diners came come to Shark on the Harbor for a “three-for-30” Restaurant Week special, where they get three courses for $30. Though the menu shifts based on the day’s catch, spring is soft crab and scallop season. Diners can also expect to see spring peas, leafy greens and asparagus, Wright said. Restaurant Week is “most definitely” a boost to business in the early stretch of the summer season, Jones said. “Typically the restaurants that create the most interesting menus are the ones who do the best — and the ones who offer the best deals,” she said. Chef and Owner of Jules Restaurant on 118th Street Adam Sander has been taking part in Restaurant Week since its inception and creates an exceptional menu for the event each year.

His three-for-30 dinner menu this time includes appetizers like “Almond Joy” shrimp encrusted in toasted almonds and topped with a coconut cream sauce and New Zealand lamb pops alongside entrees such as shrimp scamp, fillet mignon and crab cakes. Jules will offer the Restaurant Week menu every night, with a “bonus bite” for early birds, who will get a complimentary glass of wine with their meals if they are seated before 6 p.m. On Mother’s Day, May 11, the restaurant will open early at 1 p.m. and offer its Restaurant Week menu all day long. Moms get a free glass of wine with the meal. “Its one of the best weeks of the year,” Sander said. “We love it. We’ve been proud to help support them since the beginning.” Restaurants will still have their regular menus during Restaurant Week for those who don’t want to order off the special menu. Diners should note that alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in the fixed-price deals.

Continued from Page 75 fun walks,â&#x20AC;? Ward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The environment is very energized. There are many people there affected by MS who have a chance to connect with each other and do something about MS through fundraising.â&#x20AC;? Because of the timing of the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk, it has also become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;destination walkâ&#x20AC;? for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend this year, she said. In 2013, approximately 600 walked in the Ocean City Walk MS event, raising more than $65,000 in the battle against MS. Across Maryland, the walks brought just over $1 million for the National MS Society last year and organizers are hoping to raise $1.2 million in the 2014 events, Ward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the money we raise goes directly to research. In Maryland, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate to have programs like (Johns) Hopkins,â&#x20AC;? which has one of the largest clinical and research MS centers in the world, she said. And while money raised by the Ocean City walk and others in Maryland goes to the national organization, some of the funds stay in state to aid with the National MS Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maryland administrative programs and services, she said. Walk MS helps connect people affected by MS, including those living with the disease. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk ambassador, Julie Ledger, was diagnosed with MS in 1996 and will make the walk on her scooter alongside husband Rich Ledger. Though Julie was diagnosed with MS nearly two decades ago, it advanced rapidly in 2007, affecting her balance and ability to walk, Rich said. With the help of her husband and parents, she is raising sons Ian, Cole, Ryan and daughter Shelby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without the help of my family,â&#x20AC;? Julie said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents moved next door to help out, and they pick the kids up from school every afternoon. I have to rest after doing the dishes and I have trouble lifting my left foot.â&#x20AC;? A volunteer member of the National MS Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maryland Chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Audit Committee, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can testify that the society is appreciative of every dollar that each walker raises,â&#x20AC;? Rich said. The group â&#x20AC;&#x153;is determined to help fund research to pre-

vent another family in the future from experiencing the challenges that our family and many others continue to face.â&#x20AC;? Walk MS began in Maryland 26 years ago to help combat the chronic, disabling disease that affects 2.5 million people worldwide. MS attacks the central nervous system and is the No. 1 disabling disease of young adults, often striking between age 20 and 50. According to the society, the disease is not contagious and is not directly inherited and most people with MS have a normal or near-normal life expectancy. The majority of people with MS do not become severely disabled, but the disease can cause blurred vision, loss of balance, poor coordination, slurred speech, tremors, numbness, extreme fatigue, problems with memory and concentration, paralysis and blindness. It is not a fatal disease and most people learn to cope and lead productive lives. The National MS Society is the largest private funder of MS research and has provided support for the 10 disease-modifying drugs developed to combat the symptoms of MS over the last 20 years. Among the 325 MS research projects worldwide, two â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the University of Maryland and John Hopkins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are in Maryland. Registration for Walk MS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ocean City starts at 9 a.m. at the inlet at the southern tip of Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boardwalk. There will be an opening ceremony at 9:30 a.m. to kick off the walk at 10 a.m. There will be prizes for top fundraisers, including a T-shirt for individuals raising $100 or more; an umbrella for those who raise $500 or more; and an â&#x20AC;&#x153;elite feetâ&#x20AC;? award for walkers who raise more than $1,000, Ward said.

Springfest draws big crowd as 102,221 stop by festival Four-day event featured art and craft vendors, variety of food and live entertainment

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) After two years of dreary weather, Springfest lived up to its name last week, bringing a weekend of warm, sunny weather to more than 100,000 attendees during the four-day festival. Attendance was up slightly from the five-year average and trumped last year’s turnout of 97,021, said Frank Miller, Special Events Superintendent for the Town of Ocean City. In all, 102,221 visitors made their way through the four big-top tents at Ocean City’s inlet last Thursday through Sunday, Miller said. “After a very cold winter, everybody was happy to get out and enjoy Springfest,” he said. “We’re right where we should be for such a mature event.” Celebrating its 24th year last weekend, Springfest brought more than 250 arts and crafts vendors from across the country, as well as festival fare and a packed lineup of live entertainment. “It’s superior to other festivals and other locations,” said vendor Judy Black. She’s been traveling to festivals for four years alongside husband Ed Black

with Created to Enjoy games, selling amusements such as tabletop shuffleboard and cornhole bags. After success at their first Sunfest last year, the couple decided to try Ocean City’s premier spring event. What made Springfest a success was a combination of strong advertising, the organization behind the event and the festival coordinators themselves, Black said. “They’re out, they’re checking, they’re making sure it’s neat and orderly,” she said. Her games booth did better than expected, selling out of every item except for some cornhole bean bags by Sunday. “I know that that is very dependent upon the weather, but even Thursday, we had mist, rain, fog and still people came out and supported the festival… Thursday the sales were very good, for a Thursday.” Springfest veteran Edna Boyce, of Boyce Art Glass, has been attending Springfest for four years with her husband Kevin Boyce and said sales were just above average at her handblown glass table. “The weather was awesome,” she said. “The last two years have been a lot cooler, so it was a very nice weekend and I think that really helped.” Boyce said her sales peaked Friday See VENDORS Page 79

Vendors pleased, several had ‘best Springfest ever’ Continued from Page 77 and Saturday — something echoed in Miller’s numbers. Springfest’s slowest day was opening day last Thursday, when 10,248 braved the foggy weather for the wares, fare and live music. As the sky cleared throughout the day, sales at Springfest’s ticket booth jumped and The Fabulous Hubcaps played to an audience of about 1,500 that night, Miller said. Friday’s attendance picked up to 29,936 and country music legend Merle Haggard played a sold-out show to 1,787 on the Entertainment Pavilion stage that night. But Springfest’s biggest day was Saturday, when 42,617 enjoyed ideal weather for the outdoor event. Miller said around 1,500 guests at the Loverboy concert with opening band The Reagan Years that night “got the show of a lifetime” at the performance lasting more than two hours. Springfest wrapped Sunday with a showing of 19,420 for closing day. “I think if we had had the weather on Thursday that we did on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it would’ve been a phenomenal year,” Miller said. As it stands, though, “it was a very successful event.” “It was a good show for us,” said Leynel Arias Lozano of Fun and Family

Friend Wire Sculpture, who attended Springfest for the first time this year. “It was the first time we did it and we are going to send the application for Sunfest tomorrow,” he said. “It was a good crowd.” Black agreed: “It’s really a nice atmosphere.” The family-oriented festival, with its mix of “everything from gospel Sunday morning to rock at night” provided “a very good mix” at Springfest,” she said. “It was beautiful there and we would definitely love to come back,” Black said. “It was a very good festival all the way around.”

Though he can’t unveil what the city has in mind for Springfest’s 25th anniversary next year, “there’s going to be a couple of new things to look out for in 2015,” Miller said. “2014 was a good year to test a couple of small things and look for things that we can do a little bit differently going into our 25th year,” he said. His committee will be taking those ideas to the City Council in the coming weeks, he said. “Several of the vendors said that they had their best Springfest ever and one even compared it to Sunfest. That was quite a compliment for 2014,” Miller said.

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 9, 2014) I awoke from a dream where delectable asparagus run wild. The green gifts from the Mediterranean tickle my fancy and delight my soul. Underneath the eider-robe, the steadfast stalks wait in charmed sleep. Luscious treasures lie within, for those who are willing to wait. After three years, the fruits of one’s desires are finally meant to be. Mysticism unfolds and blessings blossom above for those who partake. A member of the lily family has been a delicacy since ancient times. Gorgeous aubergine and virgin white add to the variety indeed. Careful tending and hand harvesting are the secret undeniably. How I long for your sweet, succulent flesh. Hallowed be thy name, for you are unquestionably an ingenious feat. How did thee come to me?

Several legends about white asparagus origin Continued from Page 79 quently note that the English were notorious for their love affair with the elegant crop. Antiquity proves Thomas Jefferson cultivated and adored every last morsel. Transcendence is layered with countless flavors. History is an epitome of the future. There are several legends about the origin of white asparagus. One particular story brings us to the land of Bassano del Grappa. Never underestimate the power of chance. In the 1500’s, Bassano was hit with a hailstorm that destroyed the asparagus crop. The farmers were forced to harvest any remaining crops underground. When consummation was finally brought forth, the planters were astounded. Tasty, tender, and a new appearance hence forth due to the lack of sunlight. The town of Bassano del Grappa sits astride the Brenta River at the

point where it emerges from the Dolomite foothills and widens for its passage southward to the Adriatic. The marvelous, humongous stalks of pale asparagus are remarkably tender and brimming with flavor. The prize of Bassano still reigns supreme. Credit is a crescendo ingredient; the white asparagus of Bassano has won official government recognition with a legal name of its own: Asparago Bianco di Bassano DOP. Glorious is defined by the subject of superlative. How my heart bids me day and night. Please good sir, will you kindly instruct me how to devour the blessings graciously bestowed upon thee? When one succumbs to the white variety, you need to think in terms of gentleness. Their delicate command should never be broken, for purity will be lost forever. Bassano’s will argue extra-virgin

olive oil and salt brings one to the climax of gastronomic paradise. Since my path of bliss has not graced foreign shores, I must give into virtue and trust my distant partners. Impossibility is emulsified with possibilities. We do not have the honor of such natural wonders. How can I embellish the fruits of the earth and at the same time remain true to the spirit of Bassano del Grappa? Seek and you shall find; specification is my heart’s desire. Extra-virgin olive oil and kosher salt is the path so discourse. But sprinkles of fresh thyme, shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano, and coarse ground pepper are fitting most definitely. Sometimes simplicity equates sophistication. Happy Mother’s Day. Ingredients: one bundle green or white asparagus (Remove woody ends and peel the

stalks. This allows the asparagus to be cooked to an al dente state). three tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil one teaspoon fresh thyme shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano to taste kosher salt and coarse ground pepper to taste 1. Steam the asparagus until they are al dente. Remove from heat and place on cooling racks to stop the cooking process. 2. Plate the asparagus and drizzle olive oil on top. 3. Add Parmesan-Reggiano shavings, fresh thyme, kosher salt and coarse ground pepper. Serves three as a side dish Secret Ingredient–Hunger. “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” – Mother Teresa

Another car expected to bring in big bucks is the 1965 Impala SS, a five speed convertible with a 409 engine, red interior and a black top. “We’re trying to find cars for everyone, in addition to showing the public some cars they may never be able to see outside of an auction house,” said Auction Coordinator Bernie Holthaus. Cruisin’ Ocean City will also feature vendors, music and celebrity guests from the movie, “American Graffiti.” Paul Le Mat and Mackenzie Phillips will be on hand to sign autographs and take photos with attendees. “American Graffiti” cars will be on display in the convention center ballroom, May 16-17. The cost to attend the car show is $10 per day. A preview of the cars being auctioned off will take place from 9-11 a.m., May 15-16, and the live auctions will begin at 11 a.m. both days. Those interested in participating in the auction or have further questions about the automobiles that will be featured, call Express Auctioneers at 410243-9999 or Holthaus at 443-807-8883 or visit www.occollectorcars.com.

Annual two-day Ride for the Feast to begin on Bdwk.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) Hundreds donning helmets and gloves will gather Saturday morning on the Boardwalk, the starting point for a two-day journey by bike from Ocean City to Baltimore for the 12th Annual Ride for the Feast. Almost 300 riders are registered for the 140-mile trip to benefit Moveable Feast, which provides free meals for people living with HIV/AIDS, breast cancer and other life-threatening conditions in Baltimore, the surrounding counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. “We ride 140 miles because that is the exact distance a Moveable Feast driver must go to deliver to our farthest client,” said Ted Blankenship, Development Director of Moveable Feast.

Fourteen bands to perform during Mayday Playday

Almost 300 riders to make trip from OC to Baltimore Continued from Page 82 The ride is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and pulled $585,000 to feed those in need in 2013. With ridership up 30 percent for the 2014 ride, Moveable Feast hopes to raise $650,000 during this weekend’s event, Blankenship said, and by press time the event had already surpassed the 75 percent mark for that goal. Each participant pledged to raise a minimum of $1,500, which represents the cost for Moveable Feast to feed one client for a full year. Ranging in age from 10 to 60 years old, many have lost friends or family to disease and several riders are HIV positive themselves. The idea behind the ride started more then a decade ago with a Rehoboth Beach, Del.,-to-Baltimore ride. Then, five years ago, organizers moved the starting point to Ocean City “to make it an all-Maryland ride,” Blankenship said. “We serve clients all the way down to Ocean City,” he said. “We have clients in various places across Maryland.” The 12th Annual Ride for the Feast launches at tomorrow 7 a.m. from Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk at Third Street. Riders will travel across the Route 50 bridge with a police es-

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) One of the town’s newest events is gearing up to be one of its biggest. Mayday Playday is being rebranded as the Ocean 98 Mayday Playday Music Festival and 5k. Formerly held on a Friday, the downtown Berlin event moves to Saturday, May 10 this year and features an expanded line-up of 14 bands from across the county on two stages. Melissa Alesi will kick off the festival at 11:40 a.m., followed by Shawn Owen at 12:20 p .m., Ginger, feat. Nancy Micciulla at 1 p.m., Little Bird at 1:40 p.m., Bumpin Uglies at 2:20 p.m., Rob Drabkin at 3 p.m., The Phantom Limbs at 3:40 p.m., Brixton Saint at 4:20 p.m., Willamena at 5 p.m., 28 North at 5:40 p.m., Funk-O-Licious at 6:20 p.m., Eastern Electric Co. at 7 p.m., The Last Year at 7:40 p.m. and McClinton at 8:20 p.m. “This is really a whole new experience,” said Michael Day, Berlin’s Economic and Community Development director. “It is the longest event and we think it’s going to be pretty big because of the amount of music. I think it’s going to rival anything we’ve ever See BERLIN’S Page 83

MAY 9, 2014

Berlin’s Mayday Playday to feature assortment of music Continued from Page 82 done.” Ocean 98 WOCM, who will host the event, approached the town with the idea to move the festival, believing the Saturday slot would help attract more national acts. The switch seems to have paid off, as larger acts like 28 North, The Last Year, Willamena, Rob Drabkin and McClinton will play the festival for the first time. “28 North is a Pittsburgh-based band that moved out to L.A.,” said organizer Brendan Kashuba, also known as Ocean98’s DJ BK. “They broke off from Sony records and they’re doing it themselves as independent artists. They just did a couple of tour dates with ZZ Top, and they’ll probably be my favorite act – they’re the ones I’m probably looking forward to the most.” Three Ocean City-based bands, The Phantom Limbs, Funk-O-Licious and Eastern Electric Co., will also perform. “None of our bands are slouches – there’s definitely no weak link,” Kashuba said. “When we started putting this event together in December we were looking to make it a little bit bigger with some national touring acts. I look for the band that is going to bring the total package to the event – I look for the band that is not just talented onstage, but has the right attitude and is enthusiastic about the exposure they’re going to get.” Kashuba said the radio station’s clout helped organizers attract bigger bands than the town had seen in prior years. “Our radio station – just like a station in a big market – actually does sell records,” he said. “What we do counts – it means something – and these bands recognize that. That’s why you’re seeing national acts that you would have to pay to go see somewhere else; you’re going to be able to see them for free and you’re going to be able to bring the kids and it’s going to be a great day.” Mayday Playday also includes a 5k this year. “With an event like this going all day, it takes a party to make a party,”

Kashuba said. “My thought behind the 5k was trying to come up with an idea that would instantly put a couple hundred people in the streets so that the bands that perform earlier in the day don’t feel slighted – so that we do have a party. When that first band takes the stage we’re hoping for at least one or two hundred runners, and when they come out there they’re not going to come alone – they’re going to bring a friend or a family member or someone to cheer them on and support them. So instantly the doors open for the event, the first band goes on stage and there’s a couple hundred people there to enjoy it.” The 5k race runs from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Registration for the 5k can be completed at www.octrirunning.com/ocean-city-md-runningevent/may-day-play-day-5k. The Berlin Chamber of Commerce host a beer garden with proceeds benefiting the chamber. The Casino at Ocean Downs will provide games and giveaways and the Salisbury Roller Girls will offer demonstrations and take pictures with kids. Face painting and a dunking booth will benefit the Worcester County Humane Society. “The dunking booth is our new staff initiation,” Kashuba said with a laugh. The Ocean98 Mayday Playday Music Festival and 5k is free and open to the public. The festival runs from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. “I want people to experience the town and the opportunities which it presents,” Kashuba said. “The downtown historic district is nothing shy of spectacular and this event is another chance for them to prove that. I want them to take away a family, fun friendly music experience.” “This is the crowd that we think is our future,” Day added. “This is the crowd that we see returning for years and years to shop and enjoy the town. It’s a good time in Berlin and we want everyone to have a good experience.” For more information visit www.ocean98.com/mayday-playdaymusic-festival-5k.

Worcester herp searchers scour Delmarva for critters In 2013, 132 reptiles and amphibians representing 19 species spotted in area

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

Join us

In Worcester, there are approximately 19 species of snakes, 15 species of frogs and toads, six species of salamanders, 13 species of turtles, and four species of lizards. The search will provide data to help DNR scientists better understand population trends in this declining group of vertebrates as they continue the first ever Maryland Herp Atlas. Any person finding any reptile or amphibian can contribute to the atlas by posting a photo or recording along with date and location on the Lower Shore Herp Atlas Facebook page. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herp search sites include public and private parcels in the heavily forested southern part of the peninsula. No animals are harmed or removed from the wild during the search. Participants should bring a sack lunch and drinks. Groups will return from the field around 12:30 p.m. for lunch then hunt again until approximately 5 p.m. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Sunscreen, mosquito and tick repellant, Green Briar proof-pants, bright clothing, and boots are recommended. For more information call the Coastal Bays Program office at 410213-2297 or e-mail marshhawk67@gmail.com.

Two county students score awards in MSET’s contest

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (May 9, 2014) For the first time in one teacher’s memory, two Worcester County students took home awards from the Maryland Society for Educational Technology’s student contest, part of MSET’s Common Ground Conference held in Ocean City last week. Stephen Decatur Middle School’s America Juarez-Martinez, an eighth grader, and Isabella Yeager, who is in seventh grade, both took home top honors for their tech-related projects from the statewide competition. “I was thrilled this year,” said the school’s Instructional Technology Coach Joan Bauer. “I don’t ever remember having a winner from the county — ever.

The inspiration for the girls’ entries came from Worcester County’s Tech Fest, a competition in February for students to showcase their tech-related works from photography and videos to computer programming. “I just love to draw,” said Isabella, who created her graphic art project “The Lost Hero” after a classroom lesson on mythology. She used Microsoft Paint to design her detailed drawing of a mythical dragon made of bronze and fire. “Sometimes kids do get inspired by learning,” said teacher Michelle Hammond. “She loves Greek mythology and she just put that together with her tech skills and came up with an amazing project.” See SDMS’S Page 89

SDMS’s Isabella Yeager takes home top honors for drawing Continued from Page 86 America is a media aid in Bauer’s class and started her video project “Autism - My Brother Imanol” to meet course requirements. “I had a little trouble getting an idea for what to do it on, so I talked to my mother,” America said. That’s where she got the idea to do a project on her younger brother, who is diagnosed with autism. America created a four-minute video with Bauer’s help, entering her project in Tech Fest and refining it to meet MSET guidelines. “People said they learned a lot about autism from my video,” she said. “It’s something that’s difficult. My little brother will always need my help.” “She is just such a mature girl,” Bauer said of the eighth grade student.

Hammond agreed: “She’s very responsible and creative.” Bauer was among the judges at Tech Fest and said both America and Isabella’s projects struck her as “really, really good.” She nominated them for the MSET contest, but a technological glitch meant the school didn’t hear back by the cutoff date. When a phone call came from MSET announcing the two Stephen Decatur Middle School winners, “they were just so ecstatic,” Bauer said. America and Isabella were among 16 students from Maryland to take home awards from the MSET contest, which judged entries as Graphic Arts, Multimedia, Desktop Publishing or Games and Apps. Both girls took home Kindle Fire HD Tablets as part of their award.

MOCK ACCIDENT DRILL In a coordinated effort between Stephen Decatur High School Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) members and local fire and police departments, funeral homes and the Maryland State Police, SDHS juniors and seniors witnessed a mock accident drill as part of some of the preprom activities encouraging safety on April 28. Following the mock accident, students attended an assembly that included a mock funeral ceremony and personal testimonials from local citizens about the importance of wise decisions. Local fire cadets served as responders during the mock accident drill. Stephen Decatur’s prom will be held Saturday, May 10, at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street.

(May 9, 2014) Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) and the Ocean City Surf Club are hosting a clean-up at the Cape Isle of Wight Park, Saturday, May 10, beginning at 10 a.m. Cape Isle of Wight Park is located between the bridges of Route 90. The clean-up will be centered around forested areas as well as marshes so paddlers are encourage to come out as well as volunteers on foot. Trash bags and gloves will be provided. Dress appropriately, long sleeves and pants are suggested as tick season has begun. MCBP is a non-profit consensus group dedicated to help protect the five coastal bays behind Ocean City and Assateague Island. Funded in part by the EPA and through citizen donations and fundraisers, MCBP works with the 3

community and its partners, which include the towns of Ocean City and Berlin, Worcester County and the Department of Natural Resources on solutions and programs to protect those bays. The Ocean City Surf Club was formed to celebrate our ocean community, its heritage and future. Firmly rooted in the rich surf history of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia , the “club” will support area youth through scholarship and mentoring; always fostering respect for others, the ocean and the eco-system. The OCSC, its members and sponsors, shall make all effort to enhance our community with charity, service and pro-active initiatives.

Commentary

Page 93 Feds fear fish terror off coast

Wind-win proposition for resort OUR OPINION

It’s exciting to think that offshore Ocean City will be the site of the state’s first, large-scale wind farm, taking approximately 80,000 acres. Governor Martin O’Malley has lauded the project from the start saying, “the development of offshore wind will drive economic development in Maryland, create high-quality, family-supporting jobs for Maryland residents and play a major role in reducing emissions and protecting the environment. Early estimates predict that the Ocean City Project could result in about 850 new construction jobs over a five-year-period with 160 permanent jobs put in place. Also, it’s extremely interesting that the wind farm could generate between 850 and 1,450 megawatts of energy, which is enough to power up about 300,000 homes annually. The turbines will be constructed anywhere from 10 to 30 miles off of the coast. Predictions have been that the project could see its completion as early as 2018. The federal government is already slated to name the Ocean City wind farm developers as early as next month. The winning developer will have to submit a site assessment plan within six months, and then have four and a half years to submit a detailed construction and operations plan before any of the turbines go up. This entire plan could bring some $300 million to the local economy. Skills sets, according to planners, already exist in our area. Additional training will be offered in marine safety, health safety and technical instruction. “We have the skill set and we have the infrastructure in place to do that,” said Liz Burdock who is heading the Business Network for Maryland Offshore Wind. We are looking forward to the project and all of the good it will bring to the Ocean City and environs economy. Something like this doesn’t come along too often. We see it as a “wind-win” proposition.

THE PUBLIC EYE

By Stewart Dobson

Honoring Bat Yam’s founders EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

It’s safe to say that every house of worship, no matter what the faith, has a rather daunting task when it comes to starting a congregation from scratch. Finding a spiritual leader, space for services, classrooms for religious school; places to store Bibles, hymn books, folding chairs, and perhaps the most important part of any new religious organization, a good coffee urn are just parts of the challenge. Not to mention raising money. Founding members often find that they have two full time jobs. Their regular job they get up in the morning to do, and then the countless hours spent putting a congregation together. Temple Bat Yam (Daughter of the Sea) had a wonderful reason to celebrate last Sunday at the Embers Restaurant. The Berlin area congregation started out as six founding families. They include: Andy and Nancy Benjamin, Bob and Harriet Fine, Jerry and Dot Kaufman, Bruce and Cynthia Leiner, Jerry and Patti Selig and Jay and Cheryl Taustin. These were the people who shlepped Sunday school books and materials around; these were the ones who found worship space at the Ocean City Art League and the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. It all started in 1989. A few years later in 1997, Bat Yam built its Berlin home, becoming the first Jewish congregation to build a synagogue on Delmarva in some 40 years. Last Sunday, over 120 people heard the speeches, the moving stories of how this congregation came together and moved forward. “Once it was formed, we advertised ours services in the newspaper, and there were a lot of local people who spread the word about Bat Yam among their friends,” remembered Andrew Benjamin, who along with wife Nancy was among the honorees. Executive vice president Candy Gusst and past president Stu Eisenman co-chaired the event. Rabbi Susan Warshaw, Bat Yam’s spiritual leader, offered an opening prayer. “It was a wonderful evening,” said the rabbi.

By Phil Jacobs

“It’s amazing what the congregation has done over the years.” “The honorees told great stories,” said Eisenman. “They told of how the first meeting was held in a stock rom of Benjamin’s Clothing Store. Those six families affected families from all over the Eastern Shore. Now we’re 130 families strong.” Rabbi Richard Sternberger was remembered in a fitting tribute as the congregation’s founding rabbi. Each honoree wrote and presented a bio. It was, according to Eisenman, a great personal journey to do that. “Each couple had specific stories to share,” said Eisenman, a 22-year area resident. “If anything surprised me, it was how dear the founding members are to the current congregation, and how nicely they are connected.” “This is a great area,” he continued. “You look back at the history of Bay Yam and you see so much was made possible because of organizations like the Ocean City Arts League, the Lions Club, Francis Scott Key Motel and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and other places that gave us space.” What has remained the same over the years, according to Eisenman is the number of unaffiliated Jewish families who are out there, but just not connected. Most Jewish communities share in this dilemma. “You have to give people a reason to affiliate,” he said. “Bat Yam has done that. We’re a full-service synagogue with a religious school.” Andrew grew up attending Beth Israel in Salisbury, the synagogue his grandfather founded. “Bat Yam happened because there was a great deal of synergy and energy from the founding families,” he said. “We did it for the children. You don’t get many opportunities in life to create something that will be there when you are gone.” Building Bat Yam was “a labor of love,” said Benjamin. One that will be there for the generations.

Not until recently did the real reason for the presence of so many undersize rockfish in coastal waters become clear. It is, unfortunately, because those who wish to destroy our way of life are turning fish under the 28-inch limit into Rockfish of Mass Destruction, or RMDs. I know because a Maryland state official was overheard the other day as he commented on the federal government’s involvement in the state’s purchase of a new rock regulations enforcement boat. In the process of giving the state money to buy this vessel, the federal official asked – and I’m not kidding – “Do you want a machine gun with that?” Seriously. Apparently, somewhere tucked away in the Homeland Security Handbook, Subsection: Screwy Stuff, there’s a line that says, “… and by the way, if you see someone taking an undersize rockfish, blast ‘em, because the fish might actually be a neutron bomb or something.” I think that’s a direct quote. Here’s what worries me: 1. A patrol boat pulls along side a fishing vessel and says, “Hey sailor, is that a 27-inch rockfish you have in your pocket? Poach this!” Blamityblam-blam-blam! 2. I catch a fish just under the limit and suddenly, my fishing partner says, “Hey! That’s not a fish! That’s a ^%$%# RMD!” While I have had disturbing dreams about being taken hostage by a rockfish dressed like The Mummy, I’ve shrugged it off as having taken one too many Tylenol PMs. Now, I know better. On the other hand, were I to be caught with an undersize fish, and didn’t get shot for it, I could argue that I was just doing my part to save the country. As it happens, we have nothing to fear. The state official also said he politely declined the offer to really rock the boat of those who illegally boat the rock.

Letters Give support to Relay for Life

Editor, May brings flowers, Springfest and Mother’s Day, all fun things. On a more somber note May 9 at Frontier Town in Berlin, the Relay for Life, sponsored by the American Cancer Society celebrates the lives of cancer survivors who have battled this dreaded disease and won. The event also remembers the loved ones who lost their lives and ask individuals and communities to fight back against this disease. What is great about the relay is all people from every walk of life, young, old, all ethnic and gender groups get together to express their feelings. Cancer never sleeps and there is always a place for you and your family at the relay. As a 10-year survivor, I see emotions and heart warming feelings expressed. Hugs and tears flow, but that is natural. The relay helps closure for some and makes others fight harder to beat this dreaded disease. The three feelings I think about every year, joy for being here, hope, for others to overcome cancer, and sadness for those who lost the battle to cancer. Everyone should look at themselves and their family’s and see how cancer has effected them. As a result we should help the American Cancer Society fight this disease through contributions, no matter how big or small. I found a quote from the great Helen Keller (1880-1968) “Optimisms is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” To all my friends and love ones who are battling this disease, keep fighting. Nick Bartolomeo Selbyville, Del.

Action urged for ‘disgusting’ T-shirts

Editor, I have wanted to write this Letter to the Editor for some time now and since the season is upon us, I felt now might be the right time. I read several news articles all winter about Ocean City’s Councilwoman, Mary Knight’s attempt and success in getting signs posted on the Boardwalk about foul language not being accepted. In as much as I agree that the foul language of our society is totally out of control, I feel there is so much more we can do to make this a true “family resort.” Ocean City is always touting itself as being a family resort, that is all I heard during the debate on whether or not to have gambling here. Well,

to the editor

when will someone have the guts to do something about the disgusting Tshirt displays on the Boardwalk, especially at the inlet. Money, resources and time was spent on getting these signs asking people not to curse, when the real problem is not people cursing, but letting our small children, teenagers; and any age to be honest with you, look and read some of those T-shirts. I cringe and get embarrassed when I see them and have often wondered why they are allowed to expose our visiting people to this filth, while advertising Ocean City as a family resort. Get real, jump on some of these Tshirt shop owners and make them become accountable for their actions, they are giving Ocean City a bad name, much more than people cursing on the Boardwalk. Charlene McDaniel Ocean Pines

Pick up litter, keep beach beautiful

Editor, In November, I took a seasonal rental on the beach for the winter. I have so enjoyed a wonderful view of the beach and water — and all the snow — for months. On a warm day recently, I did a little service project, bringing bags with me to pick up the trash I could find on the back walkways by the buildings. I walked only three blocks and gathered up two bags. (There are so many dumpsters handy, disposal is easy.) About a week later, I noticed another woman scouring the dunes for trash and I was happy to holler a “thank you!” to her from my perch on my patio. Today I look outside and once again see plastic bottles and paper trash along the walkways here at the back of the beach and out on the sand. The beach is our treasure. It is the source of so many income, beauty, health, wonderful energy and fulfilling vacation time for all of us as well as our visitors. If you plan to walk by the water, please remember to tuck a little plastic bag in your pocket and take a moment or two to pick up wrappers, bottles and spent balloons you may find. I urge each of you to care for our gorgeous resource, which returns so much satisfaction and happiness to us all. If we each take a little bit of time and make an individual effort to keep Ocean City beaches clean, everyone benefits so much! Thank you for all of your help restoring our pristine sandy shores.
