Sprinklers: county still wants out
City stands by tax rate from FY19
Seeks support from others on opposition
Eschews slight drop with constant yield
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) After receiving conflicting information regarding a proposed opt-out clause from state regulations requiring fire sprinkler systems in newly constructed one- and twofamily homes, the Worcester County Commissioners voted unanimously on Tuesday to solicit support for their position from Maryland counties, legislators statewide and Gov. Larry Hogan. Commissioner Ted Elder expressed strong sentiments to continue lobbying for the exception. “Certainly, if someone wants to put sprinklers in their home, they always have that right,” he said. Earlier this year, the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) adopted the 2018 edition of the International Residential Code, effective as of March 25, which now requires all newly constructed single- or two-family homes to have automatic fire sprinkler protection. During a discussion in late February, Director of Permitting Ed Tudor presented the commissioners with a draft version of a county building permit application and a single-family home residential fire sprinkler waiver form. Tudor was responding to a proposal from Commissioner Jim Bunting who in January See COUNTY Page 72
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 10, 2019) Ocean City Councilmembers voted along the same lines Monday night that they did three weeks ago to move off the constant yield tax rate and pass a first reading of the $130 million fiscal 2020 budget. The new tax rate is the same as the previous fiscal year’s levy, $0.4656 per $100 of valuation, but some on the council called that a tax increase, because it marked the first time in many years that the city stray from the constant yield rate. The slightly lower constant yield of $0.4585 would have generated the same amount of revenue as during fiscal 2019 because of a 1.55 percent increase in assessments. In dollars, the assessable base will increase from $8.8 million to $8.9 million, according to the meeting agenda packet. The projected fiscal impact of keeping the tax rate the same as the previous fiscal period is $638,464 in additional property tax revenue. Budget Director Jenny Knapp said the constant yield only requires one hearing, so that number is now set. As for the fiscal 2020 budget, another public hearing and a second vote is scheduled May 20. According to the meeting packet, the proposed $130.4 See CITY Page 74

Bourbon Street delivers Saturday work menu gets complicated for owner and bartender By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Barry Reichart’s Saturday afternoon work menu at his Bourbon Street restaurant had something neither he nor his bartender anticipated: he had to help deliver her Barry Reichart baby. Even though most mothers know they are pregnant before they give birth, that was not the case for the bartender at the 116th Street es-
tablishment last Saturday, as she unexpectedly went into labor during the lunch shift. The mother, who asked to remain anonymous because some of her family members have yet to be informed about the new addition, knew something was amiss when the pains began and she called for help. “It was 1 p.m. on Saturday before all the other workers got there so it was a small lunch crowd,” Reichart said. “She’s yelling in pain and I didn’t really know what to do because I didn’t know she was pregnant. She said, ‘You’ve got to help me.’ I’m on the line cooking lunch, and I come out and she’s holding her back and her legs, saying, ‘I have bad cramps.’ “I start moving a table to

OCDC highlights downtown improvements Facades repaired, awards handed out and business assisted by local nonprofit By Josh Davis News Editor (May 10, 2019) The Ocean City Development Corporation held its 10th annual meeting Wednesday to honor award recipients and recognize partners that have helped in the mission of “Revitalizing downtown Ocean City, one building at a time.” Scheduled during the presentation, which occurred after press time at Shenanigan’s Irish Pub and Grille, Executive Director Glenn Irwin was to announce Reid Tingle as chairman of the OCDC Nominating Committee. Planned recipients of Facade Improvement Project Awards were Vladica Stojanovic (300 14th Street), Steven and Laura Rosenblatt and architects the Becker Morgan Group (1202 Baltimore Avenue), and Patrick McLaughlin and contractor East Coast Contracting (2019 16th
Street). Shotti’s Point Rhino Chaser Cafe on 607 Atlantic Avenue, and contractor Atlantic Contracting LLC, were scheduled to receive the Business Assistance Project Award, and Saylor Amos was to receive the annual Volunteer Award. Additionally, OCDC Partnership Awards were to go to the Town of Ocean City Special Events Department and Frank Miller, Lisa Mitchell, Brenda Moore, David Rohman and Heather Wiles. Board member elections were also scheduled to occur, with six people running for five slots, according to Irwin. “The annual meeting is a great way to bring our OCDC members together once a year to celebrate our successes, as well as to recognize outstanding redevelopment projects and individuals that have assisted OCDC in our revitalization efforts,” he said. “I think this past year has been one of our busiest years, with lots of great projects to show for it.”

The 1202 Baltimore Avenue home of Steven and Laura Rosenblatt, designed by architects from the Becker Morgan Group, were among those recognized under a facade improvement program of the Ocean City Development Corporation, which was highlighted on Wednesday night during the nonprofit’s 19th annual meeting, held at Shenanigan’s on Fourth Street.
According to an advance copy of the event program, 2018 was another eventful year for the nonprofit, which formed in 2000. During that time, “many things have changed, but our focus has remained the same; revitalizing downtown Ocean City,” the program said. Notable accomplishments slated to be highlighted during the program included: • A façade improvement program
that, since 2002, has renovated 220 older buildings using more than $6.5 million in funding. Currently, there are 10 façade improvement programs underway. • Eleven projects during the last year were finished as part of a Green Building Initiatives Program that promotes energy efficient improvements, and seven additional such projects are underway.

Bourbon Street delivers ... a 6-lb. 7-oz. boy this was all going to happen before they could get there, and they got there within five minutes or less.” The greatest shock of all for everyone involved was how the mother could not be aware she was pregnant. “I had gone in, it was a normal day at work ... set up, everything was fine,” the mother said. “There were only two guests sitting at the bar. I felt a trickle down my leg and I wasn’t sure what it was and then two seconds later, I just crouched down and had extreme pain. I was able to stand up enough to get over to tell Barry something wasn’t right and minutes later, little man was there.” The mother apparently experienced a “cryptic pregnancy,” which affects one in every 475 pregnancies, according to Healthline.com. In the United States, most people discover that they’re pregnant within 5 to 12 weeks after conception. With a cryptic pregnancy, however, nothing sets off the chain of events that leads to discovering pregnancy. Low levels of pregnancy hormones, called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, can mean pregnancy symptoms are very mild or close to impossible to notice. A pregnancy test may come back negative even after missing a menstrual cycle. Mothers may dismiss early pregnancy nausea

It’s a whole lot different when you’re the one doing all the work.” The mother gave birth to a fullterm, six-pound, seven ounces, 18 inches long baby boy after 1 p.m. with Reichart’s help. The entire process, according to Reichart, took less than five minutes, though to him it “felt like five hours.” “When the baby finally came out, it wasn’t breathing,” Reichart said. “They told me how to clear his airways … then they told me how to clean him up. I had no more than gotten him cleaned up and the paramedics came through the door. I assumed I would be getting her comfortable until they came; I had no idea

as stomach flu or indigestion. This lack of symptoms occurred for the mother, already a parent of a three-year-old girl, who is delighted with her new baby brother. “She’s excited to bring him home,” the mother said. The baby, named Christopher, and the mother were taken to the hospital and both were pronounced healthy. Both were released from the hospital Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, Reichart had to close the restaurant for a few hours to thoroughly clean afterwards. “We scrubbed everything down and disinfected,” Reichart said. “Some of the EMTs helped me clean up as well, which was nice. We did another thorough cleaning after that.” Given the unexpected delivery, however, the mother was left unpre-

Bourbon Street on the Beach will accept donations of baby diapers, formula, clothes, blankets, bottles, stuffed animals and shampoos dropped off on site for the mother and her newborn child. Reichart, who has received a bit of praise from his patrons once they heard about the event, was left humbled. “Everyone says, ‘You did a great job,’ and I’m like, ‘I didn’t have a choice,’” he said. “[The paramedics] were the real heroes.” Reichart also has received a bit of ribbing from his patrons: “Customers are teasing me to put out on the sign, ‘Bourbon Street Delivers.’”

City OKs land deal to assist Fire Station No. 5 expansion By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 10, 2019) Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company representatives last week asked the City Council to consider redrawing boundary lines to accommodate an expansion of Fire Station No. 5 on Keyser Point Road. City Solicitor Guy Ayers, however, had another idea: just give them the land. According to a proposal written by fire company President Jay Jester, Station No. 5 currently has three small live-in suites. “With the explosive interest in our live-in program, future needs are rapidly becoming present challenges,” Jester said. “Additionally, we currently have the building’s apparatus bays fitted to capacity, yet have many tens of thousands of dollars worth of utility vehicles and support trailers that must be kept outside in the elements year round.” Jester added expanding the firehouse would also allow for extra storage and office space. “We currently store many items on the apparatus bay floors, cluttering the area, and many times reducing distances between walls and apparatus,” he said. “The Ladies Auxiliary has also been asking for office space
for many years now and is forced to share the president’s small office area.” The fire company would pay for all costs associated with the boundary line adjustment, according to the proposal. The transfer would include two parcels, a triangular-shaped “Parcel A” totaling 33,304 square feet, and a nearly square “Parcel B” that includes 42,089 square feet. Public Works Director Hal Adkins, who worked on the proposal with Jester, said the City Council acquired a nearly 10-acre parcel of land in 1944 for a solid waste department and storage. Adkins said he has no current or long-range plans for the portions of land being requested by the fire company – especially “Parcel B,” which is presently underwater. “They may have the opportunity and the ability through contacts in the community, other developers, other wetland mitigators, wetland banks and things of the sort to achieve beneficial use of this land,” he said. “For what it’s worth … DPW [the department of public works] has no interest in it.” Jester said a local philanthropist who has wetlands mitigation credits offered to transfer enough of them to the fire department to allow them to

develop on the wetland. Ayers asked why the land was not simply being deeded to the fire company. “Whatever legal mechanism is necessary to yield support that would allow the fire company to acquire the two areas … I would support that,” Adkins said, adding he just assumed redrawing the boundary lines would be the easiest way to get county approval. After some discussion, Ayers rec-
ommended the City Council vote for the proposal, subject to the county’s authorization. “I think you need to run this by the county and … if they give their approval, then we pass the ordinance and just convey that property to them,” Ayers said. Councilwoman Mary Knight moved to approve the motion, which was seconded by Councilman Matt James. The vote in favor was unanimous.

Absolute Demolition workers on Wednesday take down part of the former World Gym building on 67th Street, part of a multiphase project that will eventually pave the way for a new Ocean City water treatment plant.
Adkins said the gym demolition was part of a larger puzzle, years in the making. “There were multiple parcels that we have been acquiring. Just south of the gym was the VFW, which we bought [and] tore down. We have the gym itself. And then, to the west of the gym, we have Sandpiper Energy’s Property that’s referenced in the franchise agreement for the codebook for acquisition.” Adkins said the gym area accounts up
about a quarter of the overall property that will eventually house the new water treatment plant. “The gym property actually consists of two different structures,” Adkins said. “We’re about to tear down one structure only, that being the old metal building, and we will be creating a gravel parking lot consisting of 10 dedicated parking places for use by the gym.” See WORLD Page 10

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 10, 2019) Demolition began this week on one of the two former World Gym buildings on 67th Street. While the gym itself will be permitted to remain open through Dec. 31, Absolute Demolition of Ocean City started taking down the large steel building adjacent to it this week to make way for a parking lot. The company has nine calendar days from the start of demolition, which occurred on Wednesday morning, to finish the project. Wells Fargo Bank acquired the property at a foreclosure auction last year for $1.134 million, and two months later the parcels were sold to the town for about $1.2 million. The move is part of a more than a decade-long lead-up for the city to build a new water treatment plant in the area. Public Works Director Hal Adkins said efforts to consolidate land in the area began in 2007. The city is also in the process of a land swap agreement for additional acreage on 66th Street, with Wenzlaff Family LLLP and Advanced Marine. The City Council on Monday approved a first reading for a zoning amendment to help facilitate that deal, with the area being reclassified a “Bayside Mixed Use District.” Through land swap, the city will acquire additional land for the water treatment plant, while Advanced Marine will expand its operations with additional boat storage.

County pitches property tax rate hike to balance budget By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The Worcester County Commissioners held a public hearing for the county’s fiscal 2020 operating budget on Tuesday at Stephen Decatur High School to take comments about a proposed property tax rate increase that would produce the $6.7 million needed to cover all expenses. Worcester Chief Administrative Officer Harold Higgins opened the hearing by highlighting fiscal 2020 bottom line figures, which estimate general fund revenues at more than $195 million, with operating expenses topping $202 million. To balance the ledgers the county is considering raising real property taxes to $.8666 per $100 of assessable value, an uptick from the current $.835 rate. Higgins noted the fiscal 2020 assessable tax value will reach $16.4 billion, which represents an increase of 9.9 percent since 2016 when the assessable base was roughly $14.9 billion. Maintaining the current property tax rate of $.835 would net additional revenues of roughly $1.8 million for fiscal 2020, Higgins said. The state calculated constant yield tax rate for fiscal 2020 is $.8231, which is the percent required to generate revenue equal to that collected in the current year.
Regardless, to cover the significantly larger expense increases of $6.7 million, the county is estimating setting property tax rates 5.3 percent above constant yield at $.8666 per $100 of assessable value. The largest slice of the fiscal 2020 revenue pie comes from property taxes, estimated at $139.8 million or 71.4 percent of incoming monies, based on the current $.835 rate, with the second highest total derived from income taxes, estimated at $23 million at a rate of 1.75 percent. Higgins said the current property tax rate of $.835 is the second lowest in the state, while the 1.75 income tax rate is the lowest in Maryland. ’ Worcester County Schools Superintendent Lou Taylor said the commissioners have been an integral part of the education systems continued success. “We know the importance of investing in our youth [and] because of our schools, we believe the local economy thrives,” he said. Despite increased high school graduation rates causing a correlating reduction in dropout figures, Taylor said the school system still faces challenges such as teacher retention and maintaining optimal class sizes while providing a safe learning environment. “Our focus is what’s best for kids,” See COUNTY Page 11
World Gym building demolished Continued from Page 8 The second building, which houses the actual gym, will allow former World Gym owner Pete Brooks to continue his operations there through Dec. 31, “at which time his lease agreement expires and we will demolish that building in January of 2020,” Adkins said. He added Brooks and the City Council previously struck an agreement for him to ease the parking lot, for $1,500 per-month through the end of the year. As for the water treatment plant, that project could begin in the fall of 2023, according to Adkins. Noting that a dozen years have passed since project planning began, Adkins said, “when you think about some large-scale infrastructure projects, whether you’re building a bridge, building a highway or, in this case, building a water treatment plant, a lot of them are very involved.” Along with the land acquisition, there were right-of-way issues, and design and permitting procedures. “Even if we owned all the land today, we could not start building tomorrow,”
Adkins said. “We’ve got to complete the entire design and we’ve got to network with the Maryland Department of the Environment, which is the regulatory agency that has to approve the whole design, so it’s a rather cumbersome process.” Adkins went on to say the city already operates a massive public works complex in the 64th to 66th Street area. The water treatment plant could have been a standalone project, but the area is geographically ideal, because it’s roughly halfway between the inlet and the Maryland-Delaware state line. “It just so happens to be coincidentally right up against the balance of our complex,” he said. “Fast forward a number of years and we will have the water treatment plant that is located at 14th Street, we have a water treatment plant that is located at 136th Street, and we will have this one, mid-island, on 66th Street.” Adkins said the mayor and council have been extremely supportive of the project since the start. “They recognize the value of the overall infrastructure project for many generations to come,” he said.

Springfest draws 120,106 guests, 17K less than 2018 Rainy Sunday meant fewer attendees, however festival still successful, Miller says By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The clear skies and warm temperatures that drew the crowds in the first days of Springfest this year didn’t last quiet long enough, as the total audience for the season-opening festival was down by 17,000 people from last year. Last weekend’s total draw 120,106, as compared to the 137,570 people who attended the 2018 edition of Springfest, according to Frank Miller, Ocean City’s special events superintendent. “You always hope to have a very smooth event,” Miller said. “I said to my team going into Thursday how incredibly smooth our setup days went, and then we had this wonderful Thursday and Friday that were just perfect weather. You had this really warm sun that everybody was experiencing on the Eastern Shore, but you didn’t have the heat because you had this cool air coming off the ocean.” The festival had more than 200 arts and crafts vendors, more than 30 food concessions and a solid lineup of live entertainment under the big top in the inlet parking lot. The slowest day at Springfest was Sunday because of poor weather, when 11,226 people checked out the event. This was the lowest Sunday
total since 2007, when the event was canceled because of especially bad weather. Thursday, however, saw 19,219 people come through the gates, with 29,208 people coming out Friday. The LeAnn Rimes concert that evening had sold out well in advance. Saturday held the highest numbers, when 60,452 people toured the tents and outdoor concessions. “Our average on Saturday is 47,000,” Miller said. “We were way up, which we’ve seen that trending for the last three years.” This was even more impressive, as bad weather seemed to plague everywhere but the inlet that day. “We were we were watching the systems as they were starting to head on that northeasterly pattern and some of those storms that were popping up in the Berlin area were skirting north,” Miller said. “Then it skirted south of us and we never really saw the rain. We had some drizzle at one point, but we never really saw bad weather on Saturday unlike some other areas. At one point, North Ocean City was poured on. They had a torrential rain and we didn’t see anything down in the parking lot.” Even with one day of bad weather, several vendors were impressed with this year’s turnout. “This is our sixth year at Springfest and it’s been an awesome year,” Lauren Pinder, Eastern Shore distributor for Mick’s Gourmet Soups, said.

County holds budget hearing Continued from Page 10 he said. Echoing that sentiment was Worcester County Teacher Association President Beth Shockley-Lynch. “Teachers commitment to students is second to none,” she said. “There is no other job that can shape the future like a teacher.” In addition to a large contingency of educators, a number of social service agencies spoke about the importance of continued support, with numerous entities clamoring for a cut of the roughly $958,000 included in the fiscal 2020 budget, which represents an increase of 28 percent over the current year. Diakonia President Allison Bernard-Church said her organization continues to have a growing presence throughout the county, in-
cluding operating a food pantry, providing veteran support services, and offering emergency housing. “We still need your help to do the things we do,” she said. Jack Ferry, Worcester County Development Center director, said while his organization also receives funds from federal and state sources, recent federally unfunded mandates have reduced support. Worcester County Youth & Family Counseling Services Executive Director Steve Taylor said the Berlin-based center has been positively affecting the most vulnerable community members since 1975. The commissioners have budget work sessions scheduled on May 14 and May 21, with a possible third session on May 28, before the budget is adopted on June. 4.

The Worcester Planning Commission approved plans to build an additional building totaling more than 69,000 square feet at the Ocean Pines Medical Center, near the intersection of Route 589 and Cathage Road.
Pines Medical Center expansion By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The Worcester Planning Commission approved the county’s first-ever health care planned unit development last Thursday, when it cleared the way for the Ocean Pines Medical Center, near the intersection of Route 589 and Cathage Road. The developers plan to build a fourth building on the campus with a total square footage of more than 69,000 square feet. Attorney Mark Cropper, representing Coastal Venture Properties and developer Palmer Gillis, told the Planning Commission during its meeting last Thursday that the Health Care PUD
zoning classification was approved by the county commissioners at the request of his client in 2017. “The purpose of this is to create a uniform [and] consistent health care facility campus,” he said. Cropper noted the recently established zoning classification requires applicants to submit a community impact statement, which contemplates highway capacities, traffic congestion, water and sewer service, pollution factors, effects on county revenues and expenditures, and potential job creation. Gillis said the property already contains several structures, including a pair of 20,000-square-foot buildings, with the first featuring a rehab center,
laboratory facility and family practice, while the second houses the Peninsula Regional Medical Centers Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute. Gillis said a slightly smaller third structure, approximately 11,000 square feet, is slated to house a GI practice with other tenants yet to be determined. “This final buildings shell is anticipated to be completed by fall 2020 and probably half will be filled at that time,” he said. Gillis also confirmed future tenants would be advised that under Health Care PUD zoning requirements included properties have to be developed and maintained in a consistent manner.
Continued from Page 11 “Everybody’s having such a good time and the weather is awesome, it’s breezy, you’re at the beach ... what more could you ask for? There are fun vendors, the food here is awesome. There’s so many things to choose from. Everybody is having a good time.” New vendor Audrey Kromel, from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, was amazed at how welcomed her merchandise was at the venue, given her motorcycle niche style. “I thought we would be a little out of our element but after I got here, they have a great variety of vendors and we fit in perfectly fine,” Kromel said. “We’re happy that we came. We plan on coming back for sure.”

Campground zoning tweaks sought at White Horse Park By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) County planning officials requested more time last week to review a proposed zoning amendment that would provide legal protections for several dozen yearround residents at White Horse Park Campground. Current zoning at the site limits offseason occupancy, and many of the residents are senior citizens on fixed incomes without alternative housing options. Last June, campground property owners received a letter from the White Horse Park Community Association, located on Beauchamp Road just north of Ocean Pines, highlighting regulations restricting full-time occupancy between the end of September and the following April. Worcester County limits offseason occupancy for campground subdivisions to a maximum of 30 consecutive days or an aggregate total of 60 days. Attorney Hugh Cropper, accompanied by a group of residents from the park, presented the text amendment during the Worcester County Planning Commission meeting last Thursday. Citing a glaring need for affordable housing in Worcester County, Cropper, who initially declined to represent concerned community members, reversed course after realizing the need was legitimate. “I got down to the nitty gritty and saw the human side of it,” he said. “It’s a hardship for people to relocate in the winter months.” The initial draft of the amendment would revise campground subdivision occupancy restrictions to permit year-round residency in up to 25 percent of units for persons at least 55 years of age. “There is a real need for affordable housing in this community,” he said. “These folks need a place to live.” Cropper said the rules revision would affect only two campgrounds in Worcester County, White Horse Park and Assateague Pointe. “It would apply to all Worcester County campgrounds, but few exist, and new ones are prohibited,” he said. “It’s not a floodgate and it’s not a dangerous precedent.” Of several campgrounds located in Worcester, Cropper noted Frontier Town, Fort Whaley and Castaways are rental facilities, while RV Parks such as Island Resort and Bahi Hi are co-ops. Cropper said White Horse Park, which is zoned A2 (agriculture district), opened in the early 1980s and was originally provided water and wastewater service through Maryland Marine Utilities in Ocean Pines until the Worcester County Sanitary Com-
mission took the reins in 1993, at which time offseason occupancy restrictions were established. Under the proposed amendments’ 25 percent allowance, about 116 of the 465 lots in White Horse Park could qualify for-full time occupancy, Cropper said. Only marginally larger, Assateague Pointe, which contains 529 campsites, would qualify for 132 yearround locations. “That’s it for the county, they’ll never be more,” he said. Cropper said a draft of the amendment requires campground property owners to apply for a special exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals, which could be occupant-specific and non-transferrable, while also noting the age restriction could be eliminated. “It’s under the continuing jurisdiction of the zoning board,” he said. White Horse Park resident Bob Raymond, a year-round campground resident since 2004, conjectured there were even more full-time inhabitants at that point, with current estimates varying between 30-50 people. “We had heard there was originally a restriction, but nobody knew if it was ever in effect,” he said. Raymond said prior to having a small home constructed in White Horse Park, after initially purchasing property in 2001, the builder provided assurances year-round residency was commonplace. Raymond said since receiving notification last June regarding wintertime restrictions, an alternative cold weather refuge has yet to become apparent. “We’re not going to sleep on a park bench [but] we have no place to go,” he said. Following initial conversations in January, Worcester County Director of Environmental Programs Bob Mitchell, said the seemingly reasonable request could have unintended detrimental consequences for the community and utility services. Mitchell raised a number of issues in a letter before last week’s meeting, including acquiring appropriate sanitary capacities to accommodate yearround residents, likely from the Ocean Pines Sanitary Service Area, while also noting the increased flow rate could result in sewer overflows. Cropper said among roadblocks to building a major subdivision with affordable housing in Worcester County are costs related to water and wastewater, as well as extensive permitting requirements. “It cost almost $28,000 just to connect to the sewer,” he said. “There is no way you can do all that and come out with affordable housing.” Regardless of seeming consensus See CROPPER Page 14

Army Corps hold OC inlet meeting (May 10, 2019) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in coordination with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Worcester County, is hosting a public meeting May 30 at the Worcester County Library – Berlin Branch (13 Harrison Ave. in Berlin) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. to discuss two concurrent efforts: a project to address sediment accumulation in the Ocean City Inlet, as well as a study on the scour hole near Homer Gudelsky Park. From 6:30-7 p.m., there will be an open house in which participants can view posters, provide feedback and speak with project personnel. From 7-8 p.m., there will be a formal presentation to provide an overview of the projects, as well as open the floor for questions. The meeting will wrap up at 8:30 p.m., allowing attendees to again view materials and speak with
Corps and state employees about specific concerns following the presentation. The Ocean City Inlet navigation channel is regularly used by commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, the U.S. Coast Guard and others. The Corps removes material from the inlet through dredging two or more times per year in an attempt to maintain the channel’s authorized depth of 10 feet; however, it continues to fill in with material, creating concerns for navigation. The Corps signed a project partnership agreement Feb. 14, 2019, with Maryland DNR and Worcester County for the “Ocean City Harbor and Inlet” navigation improvement project, which is 90 percent federally funded. The Corps will evaluate sediment transport in the inlet and recommend options to manage the shoaling to in-
clude structural solutions like jetties or channel modifications like deepening the channel in the inlet. As part of the “Scour Hole: Beneficial Use of Dredged Material” study, which is 100 percent federally funded, the Corps and crews from the Corps’ Engineer Research and Development Center began work in 2017 to gather field data to better understand the approximately 50-foot-deep scour hole just northwest of Homer Gudelsky Park. Work included collecting sediment samples, deploying instrument suites, and mapping the region to obtain information about the movement of sediment in and around the scour hole. The scour hole is causing shoreline instability, foundation issues and compromising the rip rap along the shoreline. Both efforts are being conducted through the Corps’ Continuing Authorities Program, which allows the Corps to partner with state and local partners for smaller water resources issues without the need for Congressional authorization.
Cropper agues low-cost housing Continued from Page 13 among those in attendance, Planning Commission Chairman Mike Diffendal inquired if anyone present opposed the text amendment, which received an affirmative from a representative with the Assateague Pointe HOA, who noted potential loss of property value and increased need for services were primary concerns. The topic will be discussed at the next Assateague Pointe HOA meeting on May 25. Phyllis Wimbrow, deputy director of planning, noted the topic has been delved into previously without reaching a resolution. “We’ve been dealing with White Horse property year-round occupants for years,” she said. Wimbrow also wondered if the offseason occupancy restrictions were included in the HOA documents signed by purchasers after closing on property, which County Attorney Maureen Howarth subsequently confirmed. “This is not a personal attack on these people,” she said. “I believe we need affordable housing, but retrofitting existing campgrounds is not the way to go.” Diffendal suggested the matter be tabled until the next meeting, which was agreed to unanimously, to allow further time to review. “We need more information to make the right decision,” he said. “We’re not trying to delay, we’re trying to do it right.”

Poll results show Gary Weber elected new Snow Hill mayor By Josh Davis News Editor (May 10, 2019) Preliminary Town of Snow Hill election results suggest a new mayor will soon take office, along with one returning councilwoman and one person who will be new to the role. According to information on the town’s official Facebook page, mayoral candidate Gary Weber and local business owner Gary Weber earned 255 total votes, besting challengers Richard Thompson (135 votes) and Catherine Freeman (54 votes). Incumbent Jenny Hall was soundly defeated in the Central District by po-
litical newcomer Melisa Weidner, 119 votes to 48 votes. In the Western District, incumbent LaToya Purnell held onto her council seat, beating out Mark Nixon, LaToya Purnell 79 votes to 48 votes. A flood of new candidates entered the field this year, in part because of controversies surrounding downtown business Toy Town that was shuttered after town officials denied an occupancy permit. Former Mayor Charlie Dorman also abruptly resigned late last year, and former mayor Stephen Mathews filled in during the interim, but opted not to run for election. There are reportedly 31 absentee

ballots yet to be counted, as well as 19 provisional ballots that have to be reviewed. According to Trish Goodsell, assistant to the town manager, the official
results will be determined on Wednesday, May 29. Elected officials will be sworn in during a June 11 Town Council meeting, Goodsell said.
Med. center revisions approved By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) After addressing design concerns raised back in February, the Worcester County Planning Commission approved an amended site plan for the Atlantic General Medical Center of Ocean Pines, a more than 99,000square-foot building proposed for the east side of Route 589 just north of Adkins Spur Road. Attorney Hugh Cropper, representing developers Silver Fox, reviewed previously examined landscape and façade requirements during the Planning Commission meeting last Thursday. “It’s basically the same project,” he said. “We’re not asking for any additional waivers more than we asked for last time.” The Department of Review and Permitting examined the project’s revised site plan on April 17. Cropper said earlier discussions concerned waivers from landscaping requirements and structural aspects, with the revised plans altering the building orientation to provide improved vehicular access.
“We have gone ahead and provided extensive landscaping in some areas we did not have landscaped before,” he said. To overcome previous site constraints, Cropper said the developers reoriented the structure. “That necessitated us rotating the front … part of this project,” he said. “By moving the building, it’s given him an opportunity to beef up what was the back of the building.” Cropper said traffic-related changes were also included in the amended site plan, with the site’s sole commercial entrance off Route 589 now including a traffic light. “Now this is going to be a signalized intersection,” he said. Cropper said waivers related to building design requirements, which are intended to be consistent with Town Center traditions, have been addressed and include a dark red brick exterior, flat roof, tall rectangular windows and metal sidewalk awnings. “It’s the exact same building,” he said. “We did the darker brick we discussed at the [previous] hearing.”

Tinkers get foster parents of year accolade By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) In addition to designating May as National Foster Care Month, the Worcester County Commissioners this week honored Alison and Terry Tinker as the 2019 Worcester Foster Parents of the Year. For more than three decades the Tinkers have been on the short list when the Worcester County Department of Social Services seeks an uplifting and nurturing environment for youth undergoing life disruptions. Director of Services Roberta Baldwin said the Tinkers have opened their hearts and home to endless numbers of children in need over the last 32 years. “They’ve adopted five children and provided not just forever families for those five children, but also children that have been fostered,” she said.
Baldwin said National Foster Care Month provides an ideal opportunity to honor the dedication to duty and endless hours worked by child welfare professionals. “There’s no 8-5 for them [and] there’s no 40-hour week,” she said. “There’s many nights they are not available to their own families and children because they are out helping our most vulnerable.” Echoing the spirit of social service workers, Terry Tinker said the couple is always on call and ready to respond day or night. “Our house is always open,” he said. “There’s times they bring us children at midnight.” Baldwin said there are currently 31 children living with foster care families throughout Worcester, many of whom have suffered trauma or mental health challenges.

Computer scam alert from OCPD (May 10, 2019) The Ocean City Police Department has recently received a report of a computer support scam. More specifically, scammers are using spoof phone numbers claiming to be Apple Support. In this case, the scam started with an automated call showing Apple’s logo, address and legitimate Apple phone number that warms the user to return the call because of a data breach. The victim then called the 1-866 number and was asked to pay for support through either a wire transfer or gift cards. According to Ocean City police, they have noticed an increase in requests to purchase “Google Play Cards” and have the victim send the information from the “Play Card” to the scammer. “Internet crime schemes such as these steal millions of dollars each year from unsuspecting victims across the country,” said Ocean City Police Capt. Ray Austin. “It’s important to remember that anyone calling you asking for payment in the form of a wire transfer or gift card….It is a scam.” The OCPD offers a few simple steps to spot similar scams: • Be cautious of unsolicited offers. If you didn’t ask for computer repair services, a legitimate company would not have known that it was needed. • Be wary if the seller only accepts wire transfers, gift cards or cash. • When asked to pay with a credit card through a website, ensure the site is secure and reputable before providing your credit card number. • Research the company before agreeing to the service. Most legitimate companies will have information about their company online, as well as customer reviews. Any citizen that believes he/she may have been a victim of a similar crime should contact their local police department to file a report.

Drunk driver flips car near OC inlet, ignites social media By Josh Davis News Editor (May 10, 2019) Dramatic images surfaced on social media late Sunday night of what appeared to be a white sedan that ran off the road and flipped over near the Oceanic Motel sign downtown. Town of Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters said police reS. Mcwatters sponded at about 12:36 a.m. to reports of a vehicle upside down in the water at the Oceanic Fishing Pier at South 1st Street. “When officers arrived, they located the car, which was not in the water but was laying on its roof,” Waters said, adding the driver, later identified by police as Sumpter Lawrence Mcwatters, 33 of Halethorpe, Maryland, was out of the car and uninjured, and refused EMS treatment at the scene. According to Waters, a preliminary investigation found the vehicle “had gone straight into the curve, jumped the curve and struck a pylon, at which time it rolled over and came to a rest on its roof approximately 30 feet from the water. The driver was able to kick out the window and climb out.” Mcwatters allegedly told police he’d had six alcoholic beverages. He failed a field sobriety test at the scene and later submitted to a breath test that resulted in a blood alcohol content of .19, well above the legal limit. He was arrested and charged with five counts related to unsafe driving, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by alcohol, and failure to control vehicle speed to avoid a collision. A trial was scheduled June 10 at

Worcester County District Court in Ocean City. Several images and at least one video of the crash site were posted on social media just after midnight, Sunday. One person offered, “The things you see driving around 1 a.m. in Ocean City. No idea how this guy got his car upside down on the docks next to the OC fishing pier building.” George Leukel, a local Realtor with Holiday Real Estate, posted that the car missed the curve and ran through the motel sign, flipped over, “and the driver walks away.” Video on social media showed the car, still upside down, being turned right-side-up on its wheels and pulled through the Oceanic Motel sign from the crash site by a Cropper’s Towing truck.

Kicking and biting Aylshia Cherisse Michael, 30 of Waldorf, was charged with disorderly conduct and three instances of second-degree assault at a 49th Street nightclub last Saturday. According to a police report, Michael was hostile, yelling profanities and agitated when officers arrived on the scene at about 11:12 p.m. She was placed in handcuffs. While police tried to identify her, Michael allegedly kicked one officer several times. Police said Michael, an African-American, then began to yell profanities and racial remarks. Michael continued to kick at several officers, later biting one on the right thumb and breaking the skin. The officer was taken to a nearby fire station and later to a hospital and given antibiotics. She waived her right to an attorney during an initial court appearance on Sunday and is scheduled to face trial June 5 at the Worcester District Court in Ocean City.
Public intoxication A local homeless man with a long history of interactions with police was arrested again on Wednesday on charges of violating open container laws and consuming alcoholic beverages in public. According to a police report, an officer at about 5:25 p.m. found Jerry Michael Groom, 63, on Wednesday in a bus shelter along South Baltimore Avenue, just south of Dorchester Street. Groom was reportedly drinking beer from a clear plastic container using a
straw. When an officer asked Groom if he was drinking beer, Groom reportedly replied, “Yeah, I’m just finishing one up.” Police said Groom appeared to be drunk and is known for failing to appear in court, failing to obey court orders, and failing to pay fines. According to the report, Groom has been arrested by the Ocean City Police Department “at least 69 times prior to this incident,” including 18 times for violating city ordinances related to alcohol, and 14 times for bench warrants. Police said Groom was last arrested on April 16 for the same violations. According to court records, he’s scheduled for trial on May 10, May 17 and June 3 at Worcester County District Court in Ocean City.

Berlin man indicted for 65 child sex offenses By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 10, 2019) Keith Andrew Mariani, 60 of Berlin, was indicted and is being held without bond on more than 60 charges, including second-degree rape, sex abuse of a minor, and child pornography, Worcester County States Attorney Kris Heiser confirmed on Tuesday. According to court Keith Mariani documents, Mariani was originally charged on March 27 with five counts, including sex abuse of a minor and sexual solicitation of a minor, both felony charges. However, on April 23 a notice of criminal indictment was sent to the Worcester County District Court in Snow Hill, asking his case to be set to “Nolle Prosequi,” a legal phase meaning “do not prosecute.” The criminal indictment, filed the same day by a Worcester County Grand Jury, included two counts of sex abuse of a minor, two counts of second-degree rape, five counts of third-degree sex offenses, 10 counts of filming child pornography, one charge of displaying obscene materials to minors, and 44 counts of possessing child pornography. A breakdown of each of the 65 charges allege that between Nov. 1, 2017 and Feb. 8, 2019 Mariani, among other things, sexually abused a minor who was
a member of his household. Each felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. Mariani was also charged with two counts of second-degree rape (felony, 15 years to life, each). Also listed were 10 charges of photographing a minor engaging in sexual conduct (felony, 10 years, $25,000 fine, each), one charge that Mariani “did willfully and knowingly display to a minor an item that consists of an obscene picture of a nude or partially nude figure” in
violation of Maryland law (misdemeanor, 1 year, $1,000 fine), and 44 charges of possessing child pornography (misdemeanor, 5 years, $2,500, each). In total, his 19 felonies and 46 misdemeanors could carry a penalty of 461 years to life in jail, and $363,500 in fines. According to court records, an arrest warrant was also issued on April 23. Mariani appeared by videoconference from the Worcester County Jail on April 30 for a bail hearing, when Judge Beau Oglesby ordered him to be held without
Patrons cheer as man removed By Josh Davis News Editor (May 10, 2019) Bret Arthur Wurster, 56 of Ocean City, was charged with disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct on Sunday following an incident that began in the middle of the road and ended inside a 7th Street pub. Police reportedly first spotted Wurster walking across the road near 8th Street, as he stopped in the lane directly in front of a marked police car, causing the officer to slam on the breaks and come to a complete stop. Wurster allegedly yelled at the car, then jumped onto the sidewalk and began walking south. When the offi-
cer flashed his emergency lights to stop Wurster, he apologized several times, but later became angry while police ran his license. Additional police Bret Wurster came to assist as Wurster began cursing at the officer. The suspect later reportedly told police, “I’m going into the bar, you can come give me my ticket in there.” Police said Wurster’s actions became worse in the bar and that an arrest was made. He is scheduled to face trial June 5 at Worcester County District Court in Ocean City.
bond. He is currently being held at the Worcester County Detention Center in Snow Hill. Mariani has a motion hearing scheduled on July 2 and a jury trial scheduled Aug. 7, both at Worcester County Circuit Court in Snow Hill. In 2016, Mariani was honored for 25 years of service to the Town of Berlin as a wastewater distribution/collection supervisor. Berlin Town Administrator Laura Allen on Tuesday confirmed the town no longer employs him.
POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 19 believed he was living alone in Ocean City. James Miller agreed to be interviewed by police on April 10, but later told police he was out of town. He also failed to show up for a second police interview on April 22. During a follow-up interview with Celeste Miller, she told police several items of jewelry were also missing. Last Wednesday, police allegedly found James Miller had attempted to sell several items at jewelry stores in Ocean City and Ocean Pines. She said the value of the pieces totaled $2000. According to Maryland Case Search, an arrest warrant was issued last Thursday, and James Hill is being held without bond. He will face a preliminary hearing on May 21 at the Worcester County District Court in Snow Hill.

Pfc. Hays stable after friendly fire Daughter of former Ocean City PD Chief DiPino still hospitalized after shooting By Josh Davis News Editor (May 10, 2019) Parkville Police Pfc. Tabitha Hays remains hospitalized in stable condition after being shot by apparent friendly fire in a “suicide by cop” incident in Baltimore County last Thursday. Hays is the daughter of former Ocean City Police Chief Bernadette DiPino. Suspect Robert Uhl Johnson, 76, was killed during the shooting. According to a Baltimore County Police press release last Friday, police received a call at 1:37 p.m. last Thursday about a subject with a gun in a home in the 3000 block of Linwood Avenue in Parkville. Johnson apparently called police, “methodically providing his personal information to the call-taker before stating that there was an unknown subject waiving a gun at him inside his home … Johnson hung up on the 9-1-1 call-taker when she attempted to gather additional information. Multiple attempts were made to contact the caller, but he did not answer the phone on any call-back,” police said. Four Parkville Police officers, including Hays, approached Johnson’s home and saw him inside, sitting in a chair facing the front door. One officer tried to talk to Johnson, but he refused to get up from the chair or exit the home. He reportedly told police he called 911 and there was no one else inside the home. Police entered the residence and told Johnson to keep his hands in the air, but Johnson reportedly lowered his right hand to pick up a handgun, which he pointed at police as he said, “I’m sorry I have to do this.” All four officers then fired at Johnson, at which time
Hays was struck once in the upper body. An investigation by Homicide Unit detectives found that Johnson’s gun was not loaded. Police said Johnson also left his will and last requests for burial for police to find. According to Baltimore County Police T. Hays Ofc. Jennifer Peach, “We can confirm that the suspect’s gun had no bullets, so it would appear that Ofc. Hays was shot by one of the four officers who fired their weapons. A forensic examination B. DiPino will be required to determine which gun the bullet was fired from.” Three other officers who fired at Johnson are on administrative leave. They were identified as Pfc. J. Hummel, an 18-year veteran, Pfc. A. Burns, a 171/2 year veteran, and Pfc. J. Deford, a 10-1/2 year veteran. None of the officers had experience in a police-involved shooting. Hays, a 13-1/2 year veteran of the force, was in a police-involved shooting in 2008. An earlier police report said Johnson fired on police as they entered the home, but later review of evidence, including body camera footage, revealed Johnson “picked up a firearm, did not follow officers’ commands to put down the weapon, and pointed the gun at the officers, causing the officers to fire upon the suspect.” Hays underwent surgery at Shock Trauma in Baltimore on Thursday. Police spokesman Cpl. Shawn Vinson last Thursday told the Baltimore Sun the injuries to Hays are not life-
threatening, adding, “The officer is going to remain in surgery for quite some time and then the officer will be transported to intensive care.” Peach, on Monday, said Hays’ condition remains sable at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. “We do not expect to have any additional information to release on this investigation,” Peach said. The Baltimore County Police Homicide Unit will complete its investigation and submit the case for review to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office. Bernadette DiPino was the chief of police in Ocean City from 2003 until 2009, and later became the police chief in Sarasota, Florida. Sarasota Police issued a statement on Thursday: “Earlier today, Thursday, May 2, 2019, Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino was notified that her daughter, an officer with the Baltimore County Police Department in Maryland, was shot in the line of duty. She was seriously injured and transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center where she is currently undergoing surgery. “Chief DiPino is in Maryland with her daughter and family. The Sarasota Police Department asks for the chief’s privacy to be respected during this difficult time.” Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey, who worked closely with DiPino while he was the chief of police in Ocean City, said he spoke with his former colleague on Monday. “She said Tabitha was doing remarkably well,” Massey said. Hays was honored in 2016 by the Baltimore County Police Foundation for community service, including organizing holiday events for children and their families on Christmas and Halloween.

Banners recognize WWII, Korean War vets, active troops By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) It was a “postcard perfect” day in Ocean City, American Legion Adjunct Sarge Garlitz said, as hundreds gathered last Thursday to celebrate 40 service members as part of the 2019 Hometown Heroes Military Banner program. The Ocean City Elks Lodge #2645’s sixth annual banner dedication ceremony, held near the Firefighter’s Memorial on the Ocean City Boardwalk, honored 28 locals, living World War II and Korean War veterans, and 12 active-duty servicemen from Worcester County. Banners of men and women in active duty service have been raised along the Boardwalk from May to October every year since 2014 to celebrate their service to their country and recognize them as “Hometown Heroes.” Two years ago, the Elks Lodge expanded the program to include veterans from World War II and the Korean War, using photos that were taken during the war. In October, the honorees will be presented with their banners during a ceremony hosted by the Elks Lodge. Pat Riordan, of the lodge’s veterans committee, helped organize and emcee the event. Garlitz said the idea for the program was borrowed from a similar remembrance ceremony Riordan saw seven years ago during a golf trip to Temecula, California. “He’s done one heck of a job to keep it going,” Garlitz said. “It’s not going to stop. It doesn’t get any better than this, except it’s going to get better next year because Pat’s not going anywhere.” The dedication ceremony is held each year in conjunction with Ocean City’s Springfest festival in the inlet parking lot. The banners are taken down and presented to honorees each October. The honorees were encouraged to speak during last week’s observance, although many veterans were humble about their service. Some, however, were happy to share their experiences and appreciation for the event. One of the honorees, WWII veteran John D. Carrigan, 95, of Ocean Pines, who enlisted when he was 17 years old, shared some of his experiences about his deployment to China. See VETERANS Page 26

Cancer survivors kick off the first lap during the North Worcester County Relay for Life at Frontier Town, off Route 611 in Berlin, last year. The event is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
North Worcester Co. Relay for Life all-day event, Sat. By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Despite revising the time and day, the North Worcester County Relay for Life annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, which takes place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Frontier Town Campground off Route 611 in Berlin, still seeks to foster community spirit and heighten awareness while raising funds to support continued research and patient education. Relay for Life organizers opted to change the previous all-night affair beginning Friday evening, to a daylong event this Saturday, said Dawn Hodge, event chair. “During the day we’re going to have entertainment and games,” she said. Team check-in begins at 9 a.m., with music and games, such as badminton and volleyball, starting at 11 a.m. In addition to an array of games, youngsters can enjoy a bounce house and inflatable obstacle course. Mother’s Day card-making activities will also be featured, as well as mother/daughter look alike contests, trivia, scavenger hunts, glow tug of war and a frozen T-shirt contest. Daytime grooves will be provided by DJ Schwabb and Big Al Reno from 98.1FM Ocean98, with Brian K. Hall from 103.5FM the Vault covering night-shift beats. Live performances are scheduled by the Lauren Glick Duo at 7 p.m., the String Beanz at 9:15 p.m. and the Undateables at 10:15 p.m. Hodge said the revamped times are intended to allow attendees increased opportunities to socialize, share struggles and support survival. “We moved the survivor reception up to 4:30 p.m. to give more time to eat and socialize,” she said. As in past years, fundraising teams will have dedicated campsites seeking to source financial backing. The Relay for Life event has a fundraising goal of $100,000 this year, with more than $63,000 raised as of
Tuesday. Hodge said in 2018 the event raised roughly $150,000 with 100 survivors attending and nearly 175 participants registered. The Luminaria Ceremony of Remembrance will begin at 7:30 p.m., which Hodge said serves a three-fold purpose: honoring souls lost to cancer, aiding those suffering presently and triumphing those who have overcome cancers. After 13 years of helping organize the Relay for Life event in Worcester County, Hodge attributes continued involvement, besides the obvious sentiment to cure all forms of cancer, to the continuing advances made by medical researchers. “I think what keeps me going is just the leaps and bounds that have happened in the last few years,” she said. The annual gathering also lends itself to reflection, Hodge said. “Life is so busy sometimes you don’t take time to think,” she said. “Every year at Relay [for Life] I get a chance to walk around the track and think about how many lives have been saved through the years.” Hodge said while walking she typically ponders community members lost to cancer, such as Kathy Mathias and Sheryl Mitrecic in previous years, and this past December, Joan Littleton. “She was a huge part of our committee for years,” she said. “We’ve lost her since the last Relay.” For the uninitiated, the event, albeit emotionally charged, tends to leave a lasting and uplifting impression, Hodge said. “If you haven’t come to Relay, once you come you’ll be hooked,” she said. “Everybody comes together in support of each other.” Hodge said in addition to survivors celebrating continued life along with supporting caregivers, the annual event draws people who have lost a loved one to cancer, as well as those recently diagnosed.

Teaching practices change with Learning Sciences Int’l By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Stephen Decatur High School teachers have changed their teaching practices over the nearly two years they have been working with Learning Sciences International. Tom Sites, principal at Stephen Decatur High School, said the school has used the consulting firm since May 2017. Sites discussed the school’s developments during an April Board of Education meeting. “The traditional classrooms of yesterday are long gone,” Sites said last week. “Lecturing in the front of the room for an entire period has gone by the wayside. It’s now about great learning and that only takes place when you allow students to collaborate and work together to solve problems.” Learning Sciences International “empowers schools and districts to transform core instruction and leadership practices, resulting in rapid gains in student learning.” The Center for Educational Leadership at the University of Washington’s College of Education has the “Five Dimensions of Teaching and Learning” using the following components: Purpose, Student Engagement, Curriculum and Pedagogy, Assessment for
Student and Learning, Classroom Environment and Culture. Sites said Stephen Decatur High School introduced the program six years ago, and “the rubric is very large and covers so much of what we are trying to do in a classroom.” There was also some difficulty with experience levels associated with the Five Dimensions approach. “With a staff of over 100 teachers, we had to be understanding of the idea that people are in different places with regards to implementation and progress,” Sites said. “Some teachers are using learning targets and success criteria throughout instruction, tying it all together with student performance and even having students create their own success criteria.” For instructors such as April Kenton, who teaches math, it hasn’t always been easy. “Some students struggle with selfreflection,” Kenton said in a PowerPoint presentation. “Some teachers are still struggling with the best way to write learning targets and success criteria.” Since working with Learning Sciences International, Sites said his teachers have seen results. “We are now giving them more

Teachers at Stephen Decatur High School agreed, and said students have benefited as well. “Students are more aware of the focus of the lesson. They know what they should be learning and how it will be assessed,” Math teacher Jamie Culver said in a PowerPoint presentation. “The learning is more intentional. They are able to critique and evaluate themselves.” Sites added how students can get practical experience for the real world. “This really mirrors what the workplace environment looks like today when teams work together to accomplish goals,” he said.

Walk to raise awareness for Lyme disease, tick illnesses By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Several hundred people are expected to participate in the fourth annual Fight the Bite Lyme Awareness 5K Run/Walk on the Ocean City Boardwalk, this Saturday. “Running on the Boardwalk in Ocean City is really a spectacular thing,” event organizer Angela Burke said. Registration will open at 8 a.m. at the inlet parking lot, and the race will start at 9 a.m. The cost to participate is $35. DJ Rupe will emcee the event. A Zumba warm-up is a “really fun part” of the morning that will help runners and walkers get race ready, Burke said. Free educational materials about Lyme disease will be available during the event as well. “It’s fun to have some social interaction in a beautiful place,” Burke said. “I think it’s a really fun way to spend a morning.” In addition to the run/walk, Burke hopes attendees will gain some knowledge about how to avoid contracting diseases from ticks. “Tick-borne illnesses are endemic in our area and the best defense against these illnesses is prevention,”
she said, noting that May is Lyme Awareness Month. Burke said participation can fluctuate depending on the weather. The forecast showed a high of 70 degrees with a mostly cloudy sky and a 10 percent chance of rain as of Tuesday morning, according to weather.com. Burke said about 300 people participated in the third annual 5K, and the organization raised nearly $10,000. Following the award ceremony portion of the event, Burke said there would be an after party at the Cork Bar on Wicomico Street in Ocean City. Event proceeds go to spreading awareness through educational materials, bus advertisements in Ocean City and billboards on Route 50 in Berlin and Route 1 in Millsboro, Delaware. Burke started the event to bring awareness to Lyme disease and help raise funds to fight the bite. Burke has Lyme disease and has “been dealing with the effects … for over 20 years.” As Burke grappled with this illness, she was determined to try and help others. “As soon as I was vertical, I would

try and bring some prevention,” she said. There were 1,887 reported cases of Lyme disease in Maryland in 2017, according to data from the Maryland Department of Health. It has nearly tripled since 2000 when 688 cases were reported. The 2018 data has not yet been finalized by the Center Disease Control. Tick season, according to the CDC, typically runs April through September. Brittany Fowler, deputy director of media and contact strategy for the state’s department of health, said this could be a bad season for ticks. “The Department’s Center for
Zoonotic and Vector-borne Diseases does anticipate a heavy year this year based on last year’s heavy rains,” Fowler said. Additionally, Burke stressed that people don’t have to travel far to encounter these tick-borne illnesses. “You can get this in your own backyard,” she said. There will also be a Lyme Awareness Bingo from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday at the Greene Turtle on 9616 Stephen Decatur Highway in West Ocean City.

Reggae Play Day brings jams, good vibes to downtown By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Jah Works and Zion Reggae Band are expected to have people moving to the music Friday evening during the second annual Reggae Play Day in downtown Berlin. Sponsored by Ocean 98 radio, the event will take place from 5-9 p.m. on Main Street, with a stage set up near Fins Ale House and Raw Bar on North Main Street. “Everyone loves reggae,” said Ocean 98 radio personality Big Al Reno.” Ivy Wells, Berlin’s director of economic and community development, said thousands of people came out to last year’s festival and the same kind of turnout or better is expected this year. “It’s very rare that you can go to … a live concert outside and see the likes of ... Jah Works.” “This is the first time we get to have him here in downtown Berlin. Just from Facebook alone, it looks like there’s over 7,000 people that said that they were coming or interested,” she said. In addition to live music, fans can take advantage of a steel drum demonstration, Jamaican food and a

variety of beers from Big Oyster Brewery. Wells said because Reggae Play Day is happening during Berlin’s Second Friday, the Makers Market artist showcase also will be open on Jefferson and Commerce streets. Attendees also can bring a white T-shirt to tiedye, she said. Reggae Play Day is a fundraiser for the Berlin Main Street Program and is derived from the May Day Play Day event Ocean 98 produced for seven years, Wells said. May Day Play Day featured several
local bands playing live music but two years ago, the music changed to reggae and the crowd doubled, she said. Wells and Reno said the event is weather dependent. “Hopefully, we see everybody out there and the music’s great, the weather looks like it should be good,” Reno said last Friday. “This has turned into one of the eclectic universal family events where music brings everyone together and hopefully we continue to do that,” he said. Additionally, the radio station will
sell a limited edition Reggae Play Day T-shirt, and a portion of the sales will go toward a cash for college campaign for students in Somerset, Worcester and Wicomico counties. Ocean 98 will also announce the winner of a new air conditioning unit provided by Arctic Heating and Air Conditioning during the festival. Reno said the station would also give people wristbands from 5-6 p.m. before announcing the winning contestant. For more information on the radio station’s contest, visit ocean98.com.

Flags for Heroes will fly at OP Veterans Memorial Park By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The Worcester County Veterans Memorial at Ocean Pines Foundation has joined the Rotary Club of Ocean City and Berlin to create a display of flags that will fly in Veterans Memorial Park in Ocean Pines to honor local military veterans. The memorial organization and the Rotary Club will hold a dedication ceremony at noon, Saturday, May 18. This is the second year the two organizations have held the event. A veteran’s group will serve as color guard for the ceremony, and Sen. Mary Beth Carozza (R-38) will be the keynote speaker for the ceremony. The flags will be displayed from Armed Services Day, May 18, through Flag Day, June 14. Last year, 203 flags were flown to recognize veterans and first responders, as well as others who have made a difference in someone’s life. “It’s any hero in your life,” Rotary Club Treasurer Cliff Berg said. “I’ve listed my Scoutmaster and other people have listed their parents, grandparents or somebody that’s been a hero in their life. It could be firemen, it could be first responders, EMTs, it’s really just a general definition of what you might consider a hero in your life.”
Medallions will be included with the flags, honoring both the hero and the sponsor who named him or her. “If you sponsor a flag, then you name a hero and we’ll name both the sponsor and the hero on that medallion and that will hang on the flag,” Berg said. “That person is free to take that medallion at the dedication or anytime thereafter if they want it as a memory of this year’s event.” The Rotary Club is still looking for sponsors. Individuals and community businesses can be a part of this tribute by sponsoring a flag for $50. The sponsors’ name and their hero’s name will be identified on each flag. Proceeds from this project will benefit Student’s Education Outreach projects, community charities and the Rotary Scholarship Fund. The deadline to sponsor a flag is Monday, May 13. To sign up to sponsor a flag, visit https://opvets.org/. “It’s for a worthy cause,” Berg said. “The Veteran’s Committee does a lot of educational programs for children. The money raised by this goes toward scholarships and other nonprofit organizations. It all goes back to the community.” For more information, call Berg at 302-540-2127 or email at cliff0917@aol.com.
More than 200 flags represent veterans in the inaugural Flags for Heroes display at the Worcester County Veterans Memorial in Ocean Pines, last year. The 2019 event will take place, Saturday, May 18.
Ninth annual Iron Furnace Fifty Bike Ride this Saturday (May 10, 2019) With three separate, well-marked routes, the ninth annual Iron Furnace Fifty Bike Ride will take place on Saturday, May 11. The event will include a 50K, 50 mile, and 100K routes, which travel the rural roads of Worcester County and throughout the Pocomoke Forest, will begin at Furnace Town historic site. This fully-supported ride, with on-call SAG vehicles, will offer riders multiple rest stops, snacks and refreshments included, as well as ice cream from local dairy, Chesapeake Bay Farms. A celebratory post-ride lunch, with beverages, is also included in the registration fee. Registration is available on-
line at www.ironfurnacefifty.org, or on the morning of the race beginning at 7 a.m. The cost to participate is $70. Teams of six or more are welcome. The cost is $65 per rider. The Iron Furnace Fifty is a joint project of the Rotary Club of Snow Hill, Maryland and Furnace Town, benefitting their scholarships and educational programming. A chapter of Rotary International, the Snow Hill members are dedicated to service within their communities. Furnace Town is a nonprofit historic site, offering educational and community programming set in the Pocomoke Forest. For more information or to register, visit www.ironfurnacefifty.org.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Grilled chicken kabobs with fresh vegetables and rice By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 10, 2019) Is a culinary masterpiece attainable? These five words may appear to be a difficult, almost unapproachable concept, but as we deconstruct the definition, you might be surprised. A masterpiece is a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship. Yes, there are qualifications that cannot be denied, but there is also a criterion open to interpretation and point of view. There is also a fine line between progression and tradition and it is this process of trial and error that gives new insight to one’s level of success. Individualism and ingenuity are imperative if you hope to stand out among your fellow chefs. Knowledge is a variable of many degrees and should be encouraged at every opportunity. My case in point is very straightforward. When one enters the arena of cooking, take heed and try to bring your own twist to a dish that will make it more memorable for your guests. That being said, spring has finally ar-
rived and menus should reflect the anticipated change. My taste buds have been consumed with heartiness and are desperately yearning for a lighter version of my daily intake. Grilled kabobs impart a distinct flavor of charcoal goodness and provide a cornucopia of fresh veggies. Should one brine their meat is the question of the day. Let us take a quick look at the science behind brining meat and allow you to make your own decision. Brine is both a noun and a verb: a salt solution and the act of soaking in a salt solution. The purpose of a brine is to enhance the meat with flavor but also promote a change in its protein structure, reducing its overall toughness and creating gaps that fill up with water and keep the meat juicy and tasty. Chicken breasts are the preferred cut of meat for kabobs because of their meatiness, but this lean meat needs to be kept moist when exposed to heat. Brining the breast meat in 1 quart of water and 1/8 of a cup of salt for 1 day does the trick. Make sure you rinse the meat thoroughly after brining. While we are on the subject of chicken, let us take a few moments to delve into the specifics of kabobs. The art of alternating the meat with the various
vegetables results in a stunning presentation and adds to the “fun” of the dish. However, chicken poses a particular problem in the fact that it takes longer to cook. By the time the meat is well done, the vegetables have a tendency to be over cooked. The solution is simple, grill all the chicken on one skewer. Make sure the cubes of chicken are spaced so the heat cooks the meat evenly. This way you can develop a nice char without sacrificing the other ingredients. But I like to take this step further and cook each vegetable separately. For example, tomatoes cook very quickly and can easily fall off the skewer by the time the rest of the ingredients are done. Skewering each component separately allows them to be cooked to perfection. If you want to add a littles sweetness,
consider chunks of fresh pineapple. Grilled pineapple is delicious and will add an interesting twist to your kabobs. When the kabobs are done, spray a small bowl with cooking spray and pack the bowl with your favorite rice. Place the plate over the bowl of rice and invert the rice onto the plate. Artistically arrange the meat and veggies around the mound of rice and garnish with fresh herbs. In reality, you have a more striking presentation than placing a skewered kabob on the rice. It is the smallest detail that can set your dish apart. Jasmine rice is more aromatic and not as sticky as plain long grain rice. Jasmine rice has more depth of flavor and a more interesting texture which adds to the overall dish. Grilled chicken kabobs are mouthwaSee ARRANGE Page 37

Therapy pup brings smiles to students in county schools By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Gordon, a 10-yearold Italian greyhound, is running in a different direction these days. As a therapy dog in county schools, Gordon’s job is to be a calming influence on everyone around him. “Gordon has become part of the staff. The teachers love him,” said Gordon’s owner, Jill Dillon, a school psychologist at Pocomoke area schools. She rescued him two years ago, and he has since been certified countywide through Pets on Wheels. Gordon’s new assignment began this past September, when Dillon started bringing him to Pocomoke elementary, middle and high schools. “He’s just, he’s so calming, so a lot of what I do as a school psychologist is a lot of testing, and a lot of meetings, and it gets kind of mundane, and I really want to be proactive with kids mental health.” However, Gordon isn’t the only therapy dog in the Worcester County Public Schools district. Carrie Sterrs, coordinator of public relations and special programs, confirmed that Berlin Intermediate School also receives a canine visitor whose mission is similar to Gordon’s. Dillon said therapy dogs provide numerous benefits in schools, including lowering students’ (and teachers’) blood pressure, stress and anxiety. “… Just having something comforting there I think really helps them as well, and I’ve just seen a lot of kids blossom just from having him,” Dillon said. Dillon also saw children gain confidence by “read[ing] to the dogs beSee ITALIAN Page 40

Jill Dillon, a psychologist for Pocomoke area schools, holds her 10-year-old therapy dog, Gordon, an Italian greyhound, who is certified for Worcester County through Pets on Wheels of Delmarva.
Italian greyhound lends paw to help local school students Continued from Page 37 cause they don’t feel like they’re being judged.” She added that students having behavior challenges now ask for him to calm themselves or as a reward, she said. For the sixth graders who recently took the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program state testing, some dog down time reduced the tension. “They were all just like, ‘we need a Gordon break,’ and it just helps them decompress from their day,” Dillon said.
Teachers, too, find some relief from the day with a visit from Gordon, she said. As for liability concerns, Dillon said Pets on Wheel insures the certified volunteer. “Gordon has a health certificate and is up to date on all vaccinations,” Dillon said. While Dillon acknowledged some students could have allergies or fears associated with dogs, Gordon has won over some of them. “We’ve had a couple that were afraid at the elementary school, and now they’re not,” Dillon said.

Census shows 76 wild horses on AI, no births, deaths (May 10, 2019) The National Park Service has completed its March 2019 population census of the wild horses on Assateague Island. The total population of the Maryland herd is currently at 76 horses, including 21 stallions and 55 mares. There were no births or deaths documented during the census. The National Park Service completes a full census of the horse population in Maryland six times per year, in February, March, May, July, September and November. Managed as a wildlife population, the Assateague horses are free to roam over approximately 27 miles of the barrier island and can be difficult to find at times.
N10O-J “Dewey”
During each census, horses are identified by their distinguishing characteristics, mapped and counted. Individual horses that are not observed during multiple census periods are presumed dead. The purpose of the census is to monitor the overall population dynamics of the horse herd in support of the long term fertility control program that was initiated in 1994.

(May 10, 2019) Hundreds of riders and volunteers will embark on a twoday, 140-mile biking venture from Ocean City to Baltimore City in support of Moveable Feast and its mission to provide nutritious meals and other services at no cost to people with lifethreatening illnesses during the 2019 Ride for the Feast, this Saturday and Sunday. “Ride for the Feast is Moveable’s Feast signature fundraising event that raises a significant amount of money to feed our neighbors in need living with HIV, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses,” said Moveable Feast Executive Director Christian Metzger. “This event brings together so many wonderful people from our community and takes an incredible amount of hard work and dedication from our volunteers, riders, donors and Moveable Feast staff. The 140 miles represents the furthest distance we travel to bring meals to the doorsteps of our clients.” Kicking off on Saturday at 7 a.m., riders and their crew will start with a 100-mile journey along Maryland’s Eastern Shore beginning on the Ocean City Boardwalk at 24th Street. On Sunday, they will complete a 40-mile ride from Annapolis to Moveable Feast’s headquarters in Baltimore City and celebrate with a post-ride party. Moveable Feast Board President
Peter Jackson participates in this event as team captain for Rebels With a Cause. “The ride is my favorite weekend of the entire year. You challenge yourself physically, have a great time doing it, and celebrate all the work and fundraising that everyone did on behalf of Moveable Feast,” he said. “To get to push yourself, to have so much fun, and to know you’re doing it so that Moveable Feast can serve thousands more meals for their clients-inneed in the process; it’s really just incredibly rewarding on so many levels.” Moveable Feast serves Baltimore City, the five surrounding counties and, as of 2000, the entire Eastern Shore of Maryland. Last year, the organization delivered 743,940 life-saving meals to over 6,000 Marylanders. Ride for the Feast is Moveable Feast’s largest fundraiser of the year with 100 percent of the proceeds raised going directly back into the services it provides to clients. The first Ride for the Feast was started in 2003, and since then, has raised over $5 million. The 2019 Ride marks the 17th event and is expected to raise $800,000. The 2019 Ride for the Feast cochairs are Jon Falk and Andrea Clayville. For information, visit www.rideforthefeast.org.

Blanket donations sought for vets (May 10, 2019) Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care is requesting the community’s support to help the organization honor the U.S. service veterans in its care. Coastal Hospice has traditionally provided blankets, donated by the community, to give added comfort and warmth to patients. This year, Coastal Hospice is making a special appeal for blankets in patriotic motifs — including red/white/blue themes, stars and stripes, and similar — to be given to patients who are veterans. Coastal Hospice is active in the “We Honor Veterans” program, developed in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs,
providing specialized care to veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness, often addressing a specific need related to the veteran’s military service. “Many veterans who have given so much were never welcomed or honored when they came home. This is a small way to acknowledge how grateful we are for their service,” said Nancy Stewart, coordinator for the We Honor Veterans program. Most appropriate are knitted, crocheted, quilted or fleece blankets. The blankets must be new and can be either handmade or purchased. The ideal size is 38 inches wide by 75 inches long, or the size of a twin bed. Donations are being accepted dur-
ing regular business hours at the Coastal Hospice office at 2604 Old Ocean City Road in Salisbury, or in the Dorchester County Office at 2 Aurora St. in Cambridge. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions and who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties. For more information, call 410-742-8732.

Local 4-H Club troop collection Continued from Page 45 shoppers. This is the second year in which the Voyagers 4-H Club has participated in Operation We Care. Support for military men and women has become a large part of its community service efforts. Its Operation We Care participation took on special meaning last fall when boxes members helped pack were bound for a deployed MP unit in which the son/grandson of the club’s co-leaders served. After his return to the states, he visited the club to speak about how much those boxes from home meant to him and members of his unit. For information, call 410-726-5232.

Townsend honored by DAR for Women’s History Month (May 10, 2019) In conjunction with Women’s History Month, the General Levin Winder Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution annually recognizes a woman, past or present, who has made a difference in her community, and submits a brief biography and photo of the honoree for inclusion in the National Society’s Women in American History Project database. This year, the chapter honored member Jeanne Donaldson Townsend for being the first woman in Maryland to occupy the position of supervisor of assessments. At the time of her appointment in April 1977, she had held numerous positions covering every aspect of assessment work.
A state publication featured the headline “A Milestone for Maryland” and described her appointment as the “capping of a career of unstinting devotion to her work.” Regent Gail Weldin presented Townsend, a member of General Levin Winder Chapter since 2002, with a medal and certificate at a recent luncheon meeting. Both her daughter, Janet Simpson, and granddaughter, Elizabeth Mills, are members of the chapter. The DAR is a women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education.

Worcester Music Director Christopher Buzby has been instrumental in creating a platform for young artists where Osias has honed his musical talents on and off stage, starring in numerous school talent shows and musical productions. “There is nothing more rewarding for me as a teacher than helping my students reach their musical potential,” Buzby said. “Jacob is no exception, as witnessed by his passion and ever-maturing musical abilities and skill-set. I am so proud of him for receiving this well-deserved honor from Berklee.” Outside of school, Osias performs in a band at a music school, AMP Studio: Academy of Music Performance, a nonprofit located in Salisbury, that helps de-

MORGAN PILZ/OCEAN CITY TODAY
The Angler celebrates its 81st season last weekend on Talbot Street in Ocean City.
Angler restaurant celebrates 81 yrs. of service in OC By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The Angler restaurant, on Talbot Street in downtown Ocean City, celebrates 81 years in business in 2019. It is one of the oldest continuously family-run restaurants in the resort, according to owner Jayne Bunting Kendall. Kendall and her sister, Julie Bunting Smith, are fourth generation owners of the 81-year-old restaurant and marina, known for its bay view and fresh seafood. Their great-grandfather, Charles Rollins Bunting, purchased the property in the 1930s, when the plot of land was only marsh grass. The Buntings were the first family in Ocean City to be issued a dock building permit, Kendall said. Rollins Bunting owned all the property from where The Angler currently stands up a few blocks to Somerset Street. He gave his five sons each a parcel of land, putting them in competition with one another as they opened up their own restaurants and marinas. “William Bunting, my grandfather, [and his business] started with my grandmother baking pies,” Kendall said. “She saw a need for lunches and such for the people that were going out fishing. She would make some breakfast, she baked pies and she made lunches for them to take on the boat.
PHOTO COURTESY JAYNE KENDALL
The Angler has seen several upgrades since this photo was taken in the 1960s.
That’s how [The Angler] started.” By the spring of 1945, William and Louise Bunting’s only son, William Porter, returned from the Coast Guard and joined his parents in business. He captained the sport fishing boat, Sunshine, during the day and assisted in the operation of the restaurant during the evenings. William Porter’s wife, Martha, participated in the family operation in much the same capacity as Louise. The four Buntings continued to run the business until the retirement of Bill, Sr. and Louise in 1971. Then, Kendall and Smith joined their parents. The establishment has seen its fair share of rough patches and foul weather over the years. During World
War II, William Bunting was called to serve in the Coast Guard, and returned home to find storms had washed away the original dock. A new one and additions were installed in 1945. Repairs were needed once again after Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage in 2012. The Angler had to undergo major reconstruction, adding more square footage to the original building as well as a lounge area called Martha’s Vineyard, dedicated to Kendall and Smith’s mother. The establishment has continued to serve area residents and visitors for generations and is considered a local favorite. “Our location is beautiful,” Kendall See ANGLER Page 57
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 10, 2019) Anyone who sells a property in Maryland, but is a “non-resident” of the state, must pay a withholding tax at the time of the sale of their property. The Maryland Office of the Comptroller, Revenue Administration Division, oversees this withholding tax, and sellers who are not residents of the state of Maryland must file for an exemption or partial exemption 21 days in advance of their settlement date. The law has been in place for more than 10 years, but there is still confusion about the withholding. There are two different withholding rates: one rate is for individuals and trusts at 7.5 percent and the second is for business entities at 8.25 percent. Simply put, a non-resident is a person who resides in another state or country, but the Comptroller’s office explains, “If you have an individual client who has lived in Maryland and was a Maryland resident, they will be a resident until they establish residency in another state.” A list of common misconceptions was provided as follows: Is it a tax? No, it is not a tax, but an estimated payment (withholding) toward any income tax liability that the seller may have as a result of capital gain. Currently, the rate of withholding is 7.5 percent. Why would the nonresident seller pay tax to Maryland on capital gains? Because any income realized from the sale is Maryland income, regardless of where the seller lives. Income from the sale of Maryland real property is Maryland income and must be reported to the state. Who qualifies for an exemption? Almost anyone will qualify for at least a partial exemption, but they must apply before closing. There are special situations that apply as well. One exemption is if the seller’s home qualifies as a principal residence under federal law. The nonresident seller may apply once the property is under contract and at least 21 days before closing. The earlier the seller is aware of this requirement, the better it is so that they may find the application and gather inSee EXEMPTION Page 57

Angler restaurant open daily after Memorial Day weekend Continued from Page 56 said. “It’s just been a tradition for people. We have people that come back generations later … we have people that have been coming for 50 years that say all the time, ‘My parents brought me, and my grandparents brought me and now I’m bringing my children.’” The breakfast tradition at The Angler continues to be popular for the restaurant, though most guests enjoy it on the restaurant’s deck instead of a fishing boat. “We try to source locally as much as we can,” Kendall said. “Of course, the trends are ever changing. We have a lot of the Eastern Shore traditional fa-
vorites, but we do change the menu as much as we can with the seasons.” This summer, Kendall’s son, Porter, will come home from college and work in the restaurant, while Smith’s children, Meegan Jayne, R.J. and Maura, will also continue to be involved. Porter, Meegan Jayne, R.J. and Maura are the fifth generation in a family run tradition. The Angler is open from May to October, and celebrated the start of its 81st season last Friday. Currently, The Angler is open on the weekends until Memorial Day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit www.angleroc.net/home or call 410-289-7424.

Aloft Ocean City celebrates with ribbon-cutting event By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) The resort’s latest lodging option, Aloft Ocean City, went airborne Monday with a grand opening ribbon cutting for the new “lifestyle” hotel located in the 45th Street Village. Aloft Ocean City is a five-story, 120room, pet-friendly, open-concept luxury hotel targeting next generation travelers launched by a pair of powerhouse resort families. It officially opened to guests on May 3. In November 2016, the 45th Street Village became a joint venture after its previous sole owners, the Sibony family, operating as Real Hospitality, and the Burbage family, founders of Blue Water Development Corporation, joined forces to redevelop the former Assawoman Brewery parcel into Aloft Ocean City. Rafael Correa, Blue Water Development CFO, said this initial venture between the entities went swimmingly with both ownership groups collaborating seamlessly. “It was really a surprise to many that two strong goal-oriented groups could come together, align themselves, and ex-
ecute this vision,” he said. In a testament to the precision-like partnership, Correa noted the project, which officially broke ground last March, was completed in 13 months, with the Aloft holding a soft opening late last month. “This is one of the first hotels in Ocean City that was delivered on time … which is a story in itself,” he said. In all truth, the dash to complete construction, which was originally slated to commence last January, was delayed a few months to assure the facility incorporated the latest tweaks to the Aloft Hotels concept, Correa said. In October 2016, Marriott International purchased the assets of previous Aloft owners Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide for approximately $13 billion. “We actually delayed the project start because we found out that Marriott was going to fast track the redesign of the Aloft,” he said. “We didn’t want to build the last ‘old,’ Aloft, we wanted to build the first ‘new,’ Aloft.” Among the revamped design elements introduced were streamlined lobby layouts, Correa said.

Aloft Ocean City officially opened with a ribbon-cutting celebration on 45th Street, Monday.
New Aloft ‘lifestyle’ luxury hotel opens in OC Continued from Page 57 “The lobby of the Aloft is the biggest part of the brand because the rooms are designed to be relatively Spartan [but] comfortable,� he said. Prior lobby schematics included a circular check-in desk prominently placed front and center. “It was kind of an eyesore,� he said. “It wasn’t clean and attractive.� Numerous tech upgrades were incor-
porated to keep pace with the ever-increasingly mobile-based lifestyle. “Our key system, eventually you’re going to be able to use your phone to open doors,� he said. “It’s the best wireless scenario you could have.� Correa said another element found inside Aloft Hotels, the WXYZ bar, was incorporated, but not without a salty twist. “We actually have the bar on the waterfront as well to embrace what it is to
be in Ocean City,� he said. In addition to both an indoor and outdoor pool, with the latter featuring a bar overlooking Isle of Wight Bay, other common area features include a fitness center and public spaces designed for live music. Guest rooms include plush platform beds, branded Aloft bath amenities by Bliss Spa and walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads. Amenities for four-legged family
members include Aloft’s pet program, Arf, which features beds and bowls, along with treats and toys. Cognitive of proximity, and in light of the recent approval for state funding to finance the third phase of expansions at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, Correa said Aloft was designed to cater to professional organizations. “In order to meet the needs of those See ALOFT Page 59

Humane society thrift store anniversary open house, Sat. (May 10, 2019) One year ago, Worcester County Humane Society started a new venture that would help the organization continue to assist the homeless cats and dogs in the area. The Worcester County Humane Society Thrift Store officially opened its doors for business on May 5, 2018, at 12703 Sunset Ave., units 5 and 6, in West Ocean City. The thrift store will be holding a one-year anniversary open house on Saturday, May 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The public is invited to come enjoy some refreshments, music from “Meow Meow,” and all merchandise in the shop will be 10 percent off. The Worcester County Humane Society Thrift Store is open every Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are accepted Fridays and Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the back door of the building only. Donations being accepted are gently used, in-season, women’s and men’s clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, house goods, books, pet items, and furniture such as chairs, tables and bookcases.
Children’s items are not being accepted at this time. Those with larger pieces of furniture should call 410-213-9400 ahead of time to be sure there will be room in the store for it. Worcester County Humane Society depends heavily on donations from the community to care for the many cats and dogs who call the shelter home until their forever families are found. All proceeds from the sale of items directly benefit the animals at the no-kill shelter. Volunteers are always needed to work at the thrift store in various positions. Anyone interested should call 410-2139400 or leave message on the store Facebook page WCHS Thrift Store.

Visit www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.org. Follow the shelter on Facebook and Instagram for available pets and event updates.
Aloft 120-room hotel offers plenty of meeting space Continued from Page 58 groups we actually built one of the nicest meeting spaces in the entirety of Ocean City,” he said. In total, Aloft contains about 5,000 square feet of various function spaces, Correa said. This includes a pair of bay-fronting event areas totaling more than 3,200 square feet to accommodate large-scale business functions or sunset weddings, along with smaller meeting or gathering space. “There’s a waterfront view … and it’s just a short walk down to the convention center,” he said. Correa said branded Aloft Hotels are required to remain open year-round, which provides an opportunity to attract visitors during the shoulder and offseason. “In the offseason it’s important for us to engage with other types of travelers, including local people that want a weekend getaway,” he said. Correa said among the dynamic means Aloft employs to attract younger, experiential travelers, are customized theme weekends to lure visitors from across the bridge or along the shore. “Whatever people are into we can create that event on the property,” he said.

County’s correct on sprinkler rule Before fire safety advocates pounce on Worcester County government’s opposition to mandatory fire sprinklers in single-family residences, no one is saying automated sprinklers don’t save lives or that installing a system in a new home isn’t a smart move. Although fire safety proponents continue to challenge the county’s argument that Maryland’s new sprinkler requirement could stall homebuilding, it doesn’t mean that the additonal expense won’t cause an increase in prices and a reduction in the number of potential home buyers. Besides, it’s just one more thing state government is doing to make people protect themselves at their own expense. That’s the rub with making sprinkler systems mandatory in new construction of single-family homes. It’s being done for our own good, whether we like it and can afford it or not. It’s as if the state regulators are saying, we understand some people don’t quite have the money to buy a home, but if they did, they would be safer. But, advocates counter, the cost to install a sprinkler system in new construction would be no more than $2,000 to $3,000 for a relatively modest 1,600-square-foot home. Still, that’s enough of a difference for those just breaking into the middle class. It’s also not the point. Government’s fundamental purpose is to protect people from each other, not to involve itself in the lawful decisions, good or bad, of individuals. It can offer incentives (which it refuses to do in this instance), cajole, educate and strongly encourage, but it should not simply declare that we will take care of ourselves no matter what because of the powerful advocacy of others. The fact is accidental drownings in Maryland claim more lives — especially those of children — every year than residential fires do and yet there’s no major movement to prevent that. Let’s repeat here that installing sprinklers in new homes is an option that buyers would be wise to choose. But as the county commissioners continue to argue, providing an affordable home is the priority. Whether to take extra precautions should be the buyer’s decision, not the government’s.

Crazy Eddie matures
After being asked recently about the well-being of my more or less faithful canine companion, Crazy Eddie, and whether he still occupies a place on the planet, it occurred to me that at least one other person might be wondering the same thing. Why that is I couldn’t tell By you, except that contemplatStewart ing Eddie’s circumstances Dobson probably beats endless hours of trying to understand national and world affairs. This is not to mention trying to sort out which evening news stories about these subjects may be discussed with others without having take time off from work while you’re in recovery. Obviously, Crazy Eddie doesn’t know a tariff from a mastiff, and so is a safe subject of conversation, except, maybe, for the occasional incident when he, umm … er … Let’s just say he has a condition that isn’t necessarily conducive to exchanging pleasantries with friends, neighbors and passersby. “Hi, welcome to the neighborhood, and this is Crazy … Get Out Of Here, Eddie!” But the answer regarding his continued existence is, yes, Crazy Eddie, keeps on keeping on, and still occasionally indulges in the pursuit of terrorist tree rodents (his view, not mine) that threaten our existence. The fact is, however, Eddie has matured, which means he’s still crazy, but, like me and many of my friends, can’t do much about it. Just the other day, as it happens, I issued the magic word, “Squirrel!” and all I got was a blank stare from his throne on the chaise
“I’d like to report a squirrel.”
lounge, as if to say, “If you’re so excited about it, you take care of it. I’m watching the game.” This is in spite of the fact that the only thing Eddie understands about baseball is that the balls don’t squeak. I suppose he watches and hopes, which isn’t that much different from what I do these days when the Orioles play. In any event, The Ed, as he now prefers to be called, is living the life of luxury, with not one or two, but four separate napping spots he has claimed as his own. I should point out, however, that we have revoked his phone privileges after some seriously questionable stock purchases, although I do have to admit that one selection wasn’t bad: Bank of Akron, or BARK:US.

County seeks support for sprinkler stance Continued from Page 1 suggested including an opt-out clause for building permits to allow homeowners to decide for themselves whether to install automatic fire sprinkler systems in newly constructed dwellings. The commissioners voted unanimously at their meeting on Feb. 19 to seek clarification on the proposed optout clause from Norman Wang, DLLR building codes administration director. In their letter, the commissioners argued that although fire sprinklers do prevent deaths and reduce damage to structures, the decision to install the systems in new homes should be private and not state mandated. The letter also said rural counties such as Worcester have limited public water sources, which would mean the cost of complying with the state mandate would be much higher here than it is in more developed areas of the state, where water-related infrastructure is easier to access. Also mentioned in the letter was that Worcester’s opt-out clause would not apply to newly constructed twofamily dwellings. In response, Matthew Helminiak, DLLR commissioner of labor and industry, said in a March 25 letter, that all jurisdictions are required to imple-
ment and enforce the most current version of state-adopted building code regulations, along with any local amendments. Helminiak said DLLR is required to adopt the Maryland Building Performance Standards and the International Building Code, which includes the International Energy Conservation Code, all of which are subject to departmental modification. State building standards are included under the Public Safety Article adopted by the Maryland General Assembly, which Helminiak said, “does not allow or discourage the state to initiate or assume an independent role,” to regulate and enforce building standards for non-state-owned property. The Public Safety Article also requires jurisdictions inform DLLR of any local amendments to the standards and mandates the department maintain a database of standards and related amendments. During the discussion this week, Commissioner Jim Bunting said Del. Chris Adams (R-37B) introduced legislation in 2016 that sought local control of fire sprinkler provisions and suggested compiling an issue information packet to share with neighboring rural counties, area legislators and Gov. Hogan.
Commissioner Joe Mitrecic took the sentiment a step further. “I think we should send it to every county in Maryland,” he said. Mitrecic, while acknowledging it is never acceptable for anyone to perish in a fire, said state data brings into question if a lack of automatic sprinklers is typically the cause of fatalities. “If you look at most of these fires, the loss of life was due more to the fact that there were non-operating smoke detectors in the houses,” he said. Instead of focusing on requiring automatic fire sprinkler systems for new residential construction in Worcester, Mitrecic proposed assuring existing structures, including rental properties, have functional smoke detectors. “It’s far more important to have smoke detectors in these houses that are never going to have sprinkler systems in this county,” he said. Characterizing the sprinkler requirements as “government overreach,” Mitrecic said state officials may be concerned that Worcester could start a trend. “People are concerned that we are going to get momentum and are going to join with the other counties and there’s going to be push back at the state level,” he said. In an April 25 letter to the county,
State Fire Prevention Committee Chairman C. Daniles Davis Jr. said 2017 data found 84 percent of fire fatalities were in residential structures, with 73 percent in either one- or twofamily dwellings. Davis said although supportive of the sprinkler regulations, Maryland State Fire Marshal Brian Geraci has said his office lacks enforcement authority because the rules are not a requirement of the State Prevention Fire Code. Davis also noted Maryland’s Public Safety Article prevents the fire marshal from enforcing regulations in residential buildings used by no more than two families. The letter went on to explain the Fire Prevention Committee discussed the non-compliance issues in both Allegany and Worcester during its meeting on April 18 and voted unanimously to take action to enforce the counties’ compliance, while acknowledging leaving the matter unaddressed would encourage other jurisdictions to follow suit. On Tuesday, Elder said there has even been a recent push to encourage homeowners to install sprinkler systems in existing structures. “I would like to see them retrofit their own homes before [a] … new home requirement,” he said.

‘Purple Push’ fights addiction By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 10, 2019) Officials, community members and representatives of agencies from across Worcester County discussed ways to prevent substance abuse at a community interest meeting Monday. “We really want to see all of Worcester County go purple,” said Debbie Smullen, coordinator of the Worcester Goes Purple movement. About 30 people attended the meeting at Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services in Berlin, including State’s Attorney Kristin Heiser, Sheriff Matt Crisafulli and Worcester Youth’s Executive Director Steve Taylor. Worcester Goes Purple has gained support from multiple agencies such as Worcester County Public Schools, the Worcester County Health Department and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s nice to see some real strong support behind what we’re doing,” said Tamara Mills, coordinator of instruction for Worcester County Public Schools. For Crisafulli, combatting the opioid crisis is a multi-step process. “We have to get these younger people educated as they are going through schools,” he said. “There has to be prevention and that’s where partnerships come in, and, of course, we have enforcement levels… and we’re really doing a good job with trying to take out some of those big dealers that are pushing this poison here in Worcester County.” Mills said her department received more than

$20,000 in grant funding from Gov. Larry Hogan’s Administration for a number of programs, including training on how to administer Naloxone, which reverses the effects of a heroin overdose. While the members of the Worcester Goes Purple Committee welcomed suggestions, they emphasized events taking place in National Recovery Month in September. “We can’t do it just as this committee, so we need the actual community involved and your ideas are going to be invaluable,” Smullen said. Mills and Smullen had people participate in small groups, out of which came several suggestions such as having schools wear purple, having See PURPLE Page 74

Women suffer in Ravensbruck camp By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (May 10, 2019) This week, 80 years ago, Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for women was established in northern Germany, 56 miles north of Berlin. The camp was located near the town of Fürstenberg, the population of which was 9,500 in 1939. Today, without the camp, it is 5,800. Construction of the camp was begun by male prisoners from Sachsenhausen in November of the prior year, on orders of the ReichsführerSS, Heinrich Himmler. Its purpose was to house “deviant” women. On May 15, 1939, the SS moved 867 women from the Lichtenburg Concentration Camp, in Saxony, to Ravensbrück. Before it was closed by the Red Army in April 1945, more than 130,000 women would pass through its gates. Günther Tamaschke was the first Lagerdirektor of Ravensbrück, a position which he had held at Lichtenburg. During the construction of the camp, he was very involved, staying on the site much of the time. Tamaschke was a WWI veteran who had been captured by the French during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. He joined the Nazi Party and the SS 10 years later. By 1935, he had achieved the rank of Standartenführer, which was the equivalent of a colonel. On Dec. 1, 1937, he was put in charge of the Lichtenburg camp. The first shipment of Polish women arrived in November 1939. The Poles would constitute the largest nationality in the camp. By April 1940, its capacity had been See WORLD WAR II Page 76

City Council sticking with current tax rate Continued from Page 1 million budget includes an $86.2 million general fund. Revenue from real property taxes is $41.8 million or 48.5 percent of the general fund budget. Also included in the budget is a proposal to raise the room tax from 4.5 percent to 5 percent beginning Jan. 1, and increase that is expected to generate $604,450 in additional revenue. About $2.74 million in budgeted capital projects included $2.5 million for street paving and $100,000 for storm-drain cleaning. Additional funded projects were $100,000 toward the Atlantic General Hospital Capital fund, $233,000 to repair the Eagle’s Landing bridge, and the retirement of $498,000 in airport debt. During a public hearing, former City Councilman Vince Gisriel said Councilman Tony DeLuca was right in his previous assessment that maintaining the local tax rate rather than going with the constant yield amounted to a tax increase. According to Gisriel, a Feb. 13 staff memo said the town had $6.4 million in reserves over the 15 percent of budget requirement. An April newspaper article suggested the town still had $4.8 million over the require-
ment by that point, he said. “You’ve had all this extra money, and I don’t know where and how it’s being spent,” he said. Another man said the city spends too much money duplicating services also provided by Worcester County, specifically singling out the 911 call center. The hearing was closed without further comment. Councilman Matt James, who previously voted against moving off the constant yield, said he would vote against the budget because the new tax rate came about late during budget hearings. He also said the number agreed upon was arbitrary. “I don’t agree with the route we took at the end of the budget hearings … with the constant rate. I think we were just looking for some extra money, and I think the whole process could’ve been a little bit better if the staff who prepares the budget would’ve known that the intent of the majority of the council was to raise taxes.” DeLuca, the other previous “no” vote, also said he would stand his ground, citing philosophical differences. “I do not support the tax increase for nonresident property owners and/or commercial properties,” he
said. “I support revenue increases not including any property taxes, i.e. [the] room tax, parking, franchise fees, things like that – I support revenue building, other than taxes.” Councilman John Gehrig said several expenses rose in the proposed budget, including the new agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters and the State of Maryland’s mandatory minimum wage increase, the latter of which he compared to being “kicked in the gut.” “We have increased expenses that are not of our doing,” Gehrig said, adding it’s “irresponsible not to be proactive” in meeting those expenses. Gehrig said the City Council also wants to raise its reserve fund balance and keep up with a slew of other rising expenses. “We’re supposed to do that and be like Arthur Fonzarelli, (of the television sitcom “Happy Days”) and hit the jukebox and the music just plays, but we can’t do that – the money just doesn’t come out of the machine that way,” he said. Councilman Mark Paddack said the increase is small, essentially $638,000 on an $86 million operating budget, and accused DeLuca and James of political pandering. Paddack said he ran on not raising taxes, but that he “got educated” through the budget process. Like Gehrig, he also invoked the minimum wage hike, which he said the state rammed down the cities throats. “I don’t want to be like my colleagues in the county and the smaller communities to the west of us, where we have to talk about, respectfully, 18 percent tax increases,” Paddack said. He added spending additional money on the new fire fighter agreement was “the right thing to do for the right employees at the right time,” and also defended additional money for more storm-drain cleaning. “I’m going to vote for this because it’s the right thing to do, it’s the prudent thing to do … [and] I am not going to stand for political pandering,” Paddack said. James immediately took issue with Paddack’s attacks.
“I’m not sure what your problem is with me,” James said. “I was pretty clear that I support taking care of our town … [but] I don’t like the process in which it happened. I don’t like that the last day of the budget process, we went away from [a] constant yield and went to a constant rate. Who’s to say last year’s number was the right number to pick? “I don’t know what your issue is, but get over it,” he added. DeLuca, also addressing Paddack, said, “I think it’s interesting that you would say … ‘I ran on not raising taxes, but I did, and I’m sorry.’” Council President Lloyd Martin said he supported the budget and the rate increase. He said an increase for commercial properties and nonresident taxpayers was fair, invoking the talks of “buying a trash truck for 20 buildings” mentioned as a possibility during budget hearings by Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “Those costs are coming from these people who may not live here year-round, but they come at a cost and those trucks aren’t getting any cheaper,” he said. Martin said the City Council needed to plan for the future, also citing the necessity to increase reserves and to plan for the potential of hurricanes that have devastated other coastal communities. “What we do here in looking at this is proper planning and we need to continue to do this,” he said. “It’s not a huge increase to any one person, but it’s a solid plan to move us into the future. That’s why I’m going to support this.” Just prior to the vote, Gisriel was allowed one last word, which he pointed at Paddack. “When you run on the premise that you’re not going to raise taxes and then you’re confronted with what you … perceive is a calamity, you just sharpen the pencil and figure out a way to do it – you don’t go back on your commitment to the people,” he said. The budget first reading was approved 4-2, with DeLuca and James opposed. Councilman Dennis Dare was not present during the meeting.
‘Purple’ events planned for fall Continued from Page 73 purple light bulbs and other “purple” events. Heiser and Ivy Wells, director of Berlin’s Community and Economic Development department, who were paired up for discussion, found “one million ideas of how to make Berlin go purple.” However, Wells brought up a possible obstacle to the purple push: football season. “Any advice on how to get Pitts-
burgh Steelers to wear purple in September?” she asked. Mills encouraged meeting participants to talk with their friends and families to find other ways to highlight the movement in Worcester County. “We hope that you’re going to leave here today excited about the potential things that you can do at your agency, at your church, in your neighborhood, and in your home to help support,” Mills said.

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 73 exceeded. The number of deaths that first yea, totaled 47. The inmate population numbered 5,000 by the summer of 1941, and doubled within a year. In June 1942, 184 Czech women were transported by train from the Czech Protectorate to Ravensbrück. They were all from a little village known as Lidice. The Germans had decided to make an example of the village, as a reprisal for the assassination of Reinhardt Heydrich, deputy reichsprotektor of the Czech Protectorate, on May 27, 1942. The Germans eliminated the village of Lidice in retribution. Most of the children (81) and all of the men were murdered. The surviving women were sent to Ravensbrück. Some of the women who survived Ravensbrück returned to Lidice, where a new town was built overlooking the site of the old one. Of the 130,000 women who entered the camp, 50,000 - 92,000 never left. The prisoners’ origins were: Poland, 25 percent, Germany, 20 percent, U.S.S.R., 15 percent, France, 7.5 percent, Gypsies, 5.5 percent. Approximately 15 – 20 percent of the women were Jewish. In all, women from 20 countries were housed in Ravensbrück. The women had to endure grueling forced labor, grisly medical experiments, and constantly reduced food. In March 1945, with the Red Army approaching, the Germans “evacuated” more than 24,500 of the inmates. The
German prisoners (2500) were released. Another 500 were transfered to the Red Cross. In addition, Count Folke Bernadotte, a member of the Swedish royal family and vice-chairman of the Swedish Red Cross, convinced Himmler to release between 1,000 and 7,500 women to the custody of the Swedish Red Cross. Between April 22 and 26, the women (1000 of whom were Jewish) were transported from Ravensbrück to Copenhagen, and from there ferried to Malmö, Sweden. Finally, on April 30, 1945, the Red Army arrived to find less than 3,500 half-dead women. A few hours later, the Soviets located the “evacuees.” After the war, the British conducted seven “Ravensbrück” trials, most in Hamburg. The first trial began on Dec. 5, 1946. All 17 defendants were convicted, with 11 receiving the death penalty. Two of those committed suicide before the execution date. The rest were executed in the spring of 1947. One died during trial. Of the remaining four defendants, two were sentenced to 10 years and two to 15 years imprisonment. The trial of Friedrich Opitz in November 1947 resulted in his conviction and death sentence. He had originally been scheduled for trial with the first batch, but had escaped. He was hung on Jan. 26, 1948. The third trial, in April, 1948, of five women, resulted in two acquittals, two
prison terms of 10 years and life and a death sentence for Ruth Neudeck, who was hung on July 29, 1948, in Hamelin Prison. She was 28. Two doctors and three nurses were tried in the fourth trial, which began in May 1948. All were convicted, with Drs. Benno Orendi, Walter Sonntag and nurse Gerda Ganzer receiving the death penalty. They were hung on Sept. 17, 1948. The remaining two nurses were sentenced to serve 4 and 10 years. In the fifth trial, which began on June 16, 1948, three SS wardens were convicted, with one, Arthur Conrad, receiving the death penalty, which was took place on Sept. 17, 1948. Heinrich Schafer and Walter Schenk were sentenced to prison. Two more SS wardens, Kurt Lauer and Kurt Rauxloh, were convicted for mistreating Allied prisoners in the Sixth Trial, which began on July 1, 1948, and sentenced to prison. Six defendants were tried in the Seventh Trial. Two were acquitted. Two were convicted and imprisoned. Emma Zimmer and Ida Schreiter were convicted and sentenced to hang. They were hung on Sept. 20, 1948. English hangman, Albert Pierrepoint, performed all hangings in Hamelin Prison in Hamburg, Germany. The French conducted at least one “Ravensbrück” trial in Rastatt, in BadenWürttemberg, which resulted in a death sentence for Fritz Suhren, who was
camp commandant from August 1942 until the Red Army liberated it in April 1945. He was executed on June 12, 1950. Otto Max Koegel was camp commandant between Tamaschke and Suhren. After the war, he went on the lam and was not apprehended until June 26, 1946. He committed suicide the next day. Notable inmates of Ravensbrück include: Dutch author, “Corrie” ten Boom; Polish author, Countess Karolina Lanckoronska; Gemma LaGuardia Gluck, sister of New York’s famous mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia, who held that office at that time; Élizabeth de Chambure, estranged wife of Baron Phillipe de Rothschild, who owned Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard. Gemma was living in Hungary, with her Hungarian Jewish husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandson, when Adolf Eichmann arrived in Budapest in the spring of 1944, and began shipping Hungarian Jews to the camps. Mrs. Gluck’s husband and son-in-law died in Mauthausen. Madame de Chambure perished at Ravensbrück, on March 23, 1945.

OBITUARIES MATTHEW REARDON O’HARE Salisbury Born Oct. 4, 1946 in Dickinson, North Dakota, Matthew Reardon O’Hare passed away on Holy Saturday, April 20, 2019. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Coleman O’Hare and Mary Ellen (nee Reardon) O’Hare, and his siblings, Margaret Ellen (Peggy) O’Hare and Michael Shannon O’Hare. Matt is survived by his siblings, Bonnie Carol O’Hare and Harold Edward O’Hare (both of Dyer, Indiana); Matt’s sons, Thomas Matthew O’Hare (New York City), and Daniel Joseph O’Hare; his daughter-in-law, Caroline Amelia O’Hare; and granddaughter, Olive Helen O’Hare (all of Salisbury, Maryland); his former wife, Sharyn O’Hare (Ocean Pines, Maryland); brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Phil and Sherry Guarino (Rockford, Illinois); niece, Alicia Guarino-Hrebik (Tony Hrebik) of Rockford, Illinois; and nephew, Adam (Jessica) Guarino of Machesney Park, Illinois. If you are reading this, there’s a good chance Matt O’Hare was a character in your story. He was a villain in some, a hero in others, but most likely comic relief in yours. Matt was a rare character: weird and authentic; always out of place on the Eastern Shore, and yet an entrenched figure of the community here. His mind was a trap for the trivial, while his heart and soul were devoted to the competition of sports and the raw emotion of theater.
He embellished out of need (if it made a good story), relished a lie if it would guarantee a laugh, and it is believed he coined the phrase, “hyperbole is an Matthew O’Hare art form of my people.” While he staunchly refused to participate in St. Patrick’s Day (“Unlike them, I’m Irish 365 days a year!”), he was instantly enamored with anything green and Gaelic, especially if it involved the University of Notre Dame. If you met Matt casually, you might think he attended Notre Dame, but he didn’t. He studied at two different seminaries, being kicked out of both of them by priests who would go on to be Cardinals in the Catholic Church. He was really proud of this, so I feel it needs to be mentioned. While most of his stories were at least partially untrue, this one isn’t. Or if it is, he had a bunch of people in on it, which is also possible. Far more than Notre Dame though, he loved Worcester Country/Preparatory School. Matt dedicated his life to the school and its students. He built the athletic program and theater arts program at WCS/WPS and was immensely proud of everyone that participated in those programs. As athletic director, he attended every game he could, including games of former students who were playing in college. Likewise, he went to see former students in plays or performances at
every opportunity possible. It seemed like almost every night of the school year he was a spectator, supporting his current or former students. And here’s the thing: he wasn’t merely in the stands or in the audience. You knew he was there. If you were playing sports, that bellowing voice from the sideline was unmistakable. I can still hear “Every corner is a goal!” echoing from a distant field. If you were on stage, you knew that first pause for laughter was going to have one laugh just a little louder and just a little longer than the others. Even if you didn’t know he was there before the curtain opened, it wouldn’t be long before you did. But the audience wasn’t where he was most at home. That was always on stage. Although he didn’t perform on an official stage in the years between leaving college and his retirement, he was performing in every room he was in. He could make his voice like thunder, and he did often. Whether for fun or for fury, his roar was all too familiar to everyone who knew him. It was his most distinctive feature, as the large man with a large voice got a large amount of notice, which is always what the consummate actor craves. He commanded attention in most of the rooms he was in, but he always went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome in those rooms. This may be why, unlike most people, Matt loved public speaking. He used any excuse to get in front of a microphone,
even if it meant having to become an art auctioneer for a night. He was a member of Toastmasters, but he had perfected his craft long before joining that organization. His advice was always, “be funny, be short, and be sincere.” That’s probably why he was a sought-after keynote speaker. To say he had the gift of gab is an understatement, as he really relished getting behind a podium and talking to anyone about anything. He once even spoke to a convention of nuns, opening with a joke about Jesus getting stung to death by wild bees. He claimed some of the nuns fell out of their chairs because they were laughing so hard. There’s cause for skepticism, as we’ve all heard the joke by now, and while it’s funny, it’s not that funny. In retirement, he dedicated most of his time to acting with the Naples Players in Florida. I got to see him perform in The Drowsy Chaperone, in which he played a cigar-chomping, loudmouthed, angry producer. Afterwards, when I asked him how he came up with the character, he replied: “Well, I bought a cigar.” There’s no question that Matt O’Hare will be missed by his friends and family. But as people have noted, his impact will be felt in this community for a long time. He touched many lives and got a lot of laughs. And that’s what he loved. Maybe, as a favor to him, you could tell a friend one of those stories or jokes that Continued on Page 80

ARLINE ELIZABETH RAINEY HAMEL Ocean City Arline Elizabeth Rainey Hamel, of Ocean City, Maryland, died May 3, 2019 at age 90. She was born June 1, 1928 in Manchester, New Hampshire. Her family moved to Ridgewood, New Jersey, when she was 6. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Arline Hamel business from Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, where she celebrated her 65th college reunion in 2014. Arline married George F. Hamel (an Army officer) in 1952, and started the first chapter of her married life as an Army wife in Northfield, Vermont, where George was assigned to Norwich University. Their subsequent tours of duty were in Virginia, Kansas, Germany, Wisconsin, and then back to Virginia. Arline and George retired to Ocean City, Maryland, in 2001. Arline was a real estate broker in northern Virginia for 15 years. During her retirement she was an active volunteer at Holy Savior Catholic Church in Ocean City, the Berlin Nursing Home, and the Joseph House in Salisbury. Throughout her life, Arline was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Wor. girls’ tennis team coaches get 200th career win By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 10, 2019) The Worcester Prep girls’ and boys’ tennis teams finished the regular season with undefeated records after earning victories over the Saint Thomas More Ravens on Monday, but it was extra special for coaches Cyndee Hudson and Debbie Speier. The win was their 200th overall since they started coaching the girls’ squad in 2002. “We were afraid we were going to end up with 199, with all the rainouts and everything,” Assistant Coach Speier said. “Just thinking back on all the girls that have come through the program, when some of them started they hadn’t picked up a racket and [later] went on to play in college. It’s just so exciting for us.” The coaches now have a 200-15 record. They have helped lead the team to nine undefeated seasons. “It’s a huge one. We’ve been very luck girls were interested and pretty good in tennis,” Hudson said. “We’ve played teams from Maryland, Delaware, and we used to play teams from Virginia, public and private schools. We’ve played a variety of formats and changed the lineup, and the girls have been flexible.” Hudson said she has enjoyed her time as head coach, but it is time to step down. Both Hudson and Speier will officially retire from coaching at the end of the season. “It’s bittersweet,” Hudson said. “It’s been fun. I’ll miss it for sure. There’s been a ton of great memories.” “We created a culture. We’re very proud of the girls. We’re proud that, every match, they come out and give 100 percent, sometimes more than that,” Speier added. “They just work hard, they improve [and] they work in the offseason. I’m happy for them.” Hudson was exceptionally pleased with the Lady Mallards’ performance on Monday. The team won 6-1. Both juniors Abi Plylar and Annika Larsen had solid performances at first and second singles, respectively. Plylar lost to a strong opponent, but gave it her all. Larsen got off to a good start and rolled on to an 8-2 victory. “It’s great when you can start with a bang instead of working yourself out a hole,” Hudson said. Freshman Sumira Sehgal has made great progress in her first year on the team, Hudson said. She stayed in the points and capitalized when her oppo-

The Worcester Prep girls’ tennis team celebrates its victory over Saint Thomas More on Monday, which was the 200th win for Head Coach Cyndee Hudson and Assistant Coach Debbie Speier. Since they started coaching the team in 2002, they have won 200 competitions and only lost 15.

Junior Mesa Cammack played doubles with sophomore Summer Walker for the first time. “I was thrilled for them winning 80,” Hudson said. The second doubles team of juniors
Kennedy Humes and Korina Gjikuria was “as strong as ever,” Hudson said, shutting out their opponents, 8-0. The Prep boys’ team won, 7-0. Senior captains Dominic Anthony (8-3), Will Todd (8-1) and Graham Hammond (8-0) were successful at first through third singles, respectively. “Dominic was dominant. He had his opponent really moving a lot. He mixed his shots well,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “I think his opponent
wasn’t ready for the power that he was coming out there with, and Will Todd was his methodical, calculating self. “He was figuring out his opponent and just playing consistent tennis,” Underkoffler added. “His first serve was really on, and Graham served and played a consistent forehand game.” The Ravens forfeited the fourth and fifth singles matches. Underkoffler said he was proud of See WOR. Page 82

Decatur softball team wins Bayside Conf. championship By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 10, 2019) The Stephen Decatur softball team won Bayside Conference championships in 1991, 1998 and 2000, and the Lady Seahawks added another to its collection on Tuesday with a 4-1 victory over the Colonel Richardson Colonels in Salisbury. When the two teams met early in the season on April 1, in Federalsburg, Maryland, Colonel Richardson won 12-1. The Decatur squad played more than a dozen Scott Kurtz games since that competition and was much improved for the second matchup. “On any given day if we show up and play our best we can beat anyone,” Decatur Coach Scott Kurtz said. Decatur scored one run in the second inning off a single by sophomore Katie Wrench, and pulled ahead 2-0 in the third with a homerun by sophomore Brooklyn Pugner. With the lead came added confidence for the Seahawks. “We play different when we’re in the lead,” Kurtz said. The Seahawks made it 3-0 in the fifth. The Colonels put one run on the board in the sixth inning, which the Berlin squad answered in the bottom of the inning. “The girls were so excited,” Kurtz said. “These girls, they can hit. It’s really fun to watch. “There’s no gaps in the lineup,” he continued. “There’s no spot that can’t be productive.”
Wrench, Pugner, freshman Skylar Griffin, junior Amber Whittaker and senior captains Alex Richwalski and Lexi Black had one hit apiece. Black pitched all seven innings. She struck out four, walked one and allowed five hits. “Lexi was on a different level today and the defense behind her was strong,” Kurtz said after the game. “We worked her hard over the last few days before the game, because she gets stronger as the week goes on.” The key to victory, Kurtz said, was Black’s solid pitching on the mound, team defense and scoring the first run. The depth of talent has led the team to success this season, he added. “We have more than nine starters. We have quality up and down the roster,” Kurtz said. Decatur is heading into the playoffs with a 15-4 record. The Seahawks received the No. 2 seed and a firstround bye in Section II of the 3A East Region bracket. They will host the third-seeded Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel on Monday at 4 p.m. “We’re expecting a quality team to come to Decatur on Monday, so we have to play at our best,” Kurtz said. “When it matters, they show up. We need to take one inning at a time, one pitch at a time and they need to play within themselves.” The top-seeded Chesapeake Cougars of Anne Arundel will take on the No. 4 James M. Bennett Clippers on Monday as well. The winners of both games will go head-to-head on Wednesday.

Wor. Prep tennis teams to compete in ESIAC tourney Continued from Page 81 the doubles players. “We featured some seniors that invested their time for us for four years. They’ve gotten so much better since they were ninth graders,” Underkoffler said. “It’s awesome for those guys.” Seniors Parker Brandt and Nick Lange topped their first doubles opponents, 8-1. Seniors Matt Durkin and Ethan Scheiber earned an 8-0 shutout at second doubles. Worcester will now compete in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship on Saturday at 11 a.m. on Salisbury University’s courts. Both teams swept the singles and doubles tournaments in 2018. Representing the 13-0 girls’ team in singles competition will be Plylar, Larsen and senior Maya Natesan. Cammack and junior Saylar McGuiness will play doubles, along with teams of sophomore Waverly Choy and Walker, and Humes and Gjikuria. There will be five schools competing on the girls’ side: Worcester Prep, Salisbury School, Saints Peter and Paul, Gunston Day and Delmarva Christian. This week, the girls planned to work on returns and serving. If the girls advance to the championship round they will have competed in four matches on Saturday. Hudson said the girls needed to play smart, be selective and finish points quickly to conserve energy. Taking the court for the 10-0 boys’ squad will be Anthony, and sophomores Ryan Brafman and Ben Brandt at singles. Hammond and senior captain Colin Miller will play doubles, along with sophomore Joe Schwartz and junior Frank Carter, and seniors Alex Canakis

and Cameron Hill. The boys’ tournament will include Worcester, Gunston and Salisbury School. “We look sharp. We have a week to prepare and we’ll do our best,” Underkoffler said on Monday. “We have some good competition coming in against us.” Underkoffler said the boys needed to serve well and be consistent. “They’re not used to playing several matches within a day, so they’re going to have to manage their body well, hydrate, eat between matches, and be able to play at 10 a.m. and be strong at 4 p.m,” he said. If the Mallards advance to the championship round, they have the potential to play three matches in one day, Underkoffler said. “Our team strength is our depth,” he said. “We have so many good players and it’s exciting. Our seniors going out built this. They set the standard.”

WP Mallards to battle Cougars for MILL title (May 10, 2019) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team captured the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship on April 27, and now the Mallards hope to win a Metro Independent Lacrosse League title. Worcester used last Saturday’s game against the Delmar Wildcats in Berlin to work on some things and prepare for the MILL championship. Sophomore John Arrington led Worcester with four goals and four assists in the 17-2 win. Senior captain Alec Dembeck had four goals and one assist. Senior Owen Tunis scored
three. Sophomore Hunter Gentry and freshman Bennett Tinkler recorded five and four saves, respectively. “Every time we play we try to get better. We used this game to get better for the MILL championship,” Prep Coach John Moeser said. “We moved the ball pretty well and played with intensity the entire game.” Worcester will meet the Calverton Cougars at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, for a 7 p.m. title competition tonight. Moeser said he watched game film this week from when his team played
Calverton on April 18. The Cougars won 9-5 in Huntingtown, Maryland. Moeser said they would focus on what they did well during that match and try to improve what didn’t work. After a long bus ride to the game, Moeser said the Mallards didn’t take care of the ball and made some mental mistakes. “It took us a while to get into the game,” he said. “We need to come out focused right off the bat Friday night.” Worcester had a 2-1 lead over Calverton, but with about five minutes left in the first half, the Cougars netted
six unanswered shots. “We made a little run in the second half, but it wasn’t enough,” Moeser said. If the Mallards (10-4) can play the way Moeser know they are capable of, then there is no stopping them. “We have to come out and play,” he said. “We need to take better care of the ball – we had too many turnovers last time. We didn’t shoot the first game and there were close-range opportunities that we didn’t finish. We were 0-6 in man-up. We need to [capitalize] when we’re a man up.”

This is where I wanted us to be. We’re really coming together at the right time.” Parkside scored twice, but Decatur answered and, at the end of the first quarter, the score was tied 2-2 in Berlin.

We’ve learned a lot this year,” he said. “If we’re down, they know how to make it up and, if we’re up, they know how to be patient and hold it.” The defense, he added, has been the team’s anchor all year. “We’ve got great defenders and we’ve got depth at defense,” Hoffman said. The top-seeded James M. Bennett Clippers will face the No. 4 Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel today. The winner will battle either Decatur or Chesapeake on Monday. “We’ll take whoever,” Hoffman said, although the Seahawks would like a rematch with the Clippers, who they lost to, 12-10, on May 1.

The teams met again last Friday in Easton. Despite a slow start, some turnovers and a few bad passes, the Prep squad came out on top, 21-7. “We picked it up and pulled it together,” Williams said. “Once we settled down, we were able to get the motion offense down, run our plays [and] cuts, make more accurate passes, and we were moving the ball around.” Senior captain Gracie Gardner led the Mallards with five goals. Junior captain Carly Hoffman chipped in with four goals and senior captain Delaney Abercrombie scored three. Prep senior goalie Clare DeMallie recored four saves in the first half. Sophomore CC Lizas stopped three shots in the second half. Worcester finished the regular season with a 12-4 record.

Love for Lungs tourney, May 17-18 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 10, 2019) In its first three years, the Love for Lungs Tennis Tournament raised more than $110,000 to support lung research at the University of Maryland. The event also continues to raise awareness about Pulmonary Fibrosis and organ donation. “We were really expecting this to be a little tournament and then the first year after we reached $25,000 we were like, ‘Wow, people really care about this,’ and we started reaching out to new people trying to make this as big and influential as we could,” said tournament organizer, Worcester Preparatory School junior Abi Plylar. “So far, we’ve raised $110,000. That money has gone to research at the University of Maryland and has started to produce a drug for Pulmonary Fibrosis. To be a part of something that actually could cure a disease is just really impactful.” About 30 players participated the first year and close to $25,000 was raised. During the second year, the field grew to about 45 and approximately $30,000 was garnered. Last year, about 70 players took part in the tournament and approximately $57,000 was raised. All net proceeds will help ground-
breaking research for The Program in Lung Healing at University of Maryland including: lung regeneration, lung repair, artificial respiration and adult stem cell therapies, according to the event website, www.loveforlungs.com. The fourth annual tournament will be held Friday and Saturday, May 1718, at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach, Delaware. “Last year we had 70 players and anything close or about that would be extremely appreciated this year,” Plylar said. “Any money that can help the University of Maryland we’d be grateful [to receive].” A number of players have already registered. Most have participated in the tournament before, but there are also many new competitors this year. “It’s a very fun tournament,” said Plylar, who plays tennis for Worcester Prep. “It’s for all ages and skill levels. We have little kids playing against 80-year-olds. It’s just a fun time to come out and play with new people.” Plylar started the tournament in honor of her grandfather, Ron, and to raise awareness and funds for lung disease research. On April 17, 2015, her grandfather passed away from the lung disease Pulmonary Fibrosis. “Despite visiting numerous top
pulmonary physicians across the country, my grandfather’s disease continued to go misdiagnosed,” she said on the event’s website. “He was considered a high-risk transplant candidate due to his age and the severity of his disease. Nevertheless, Dr. Aldo Iacono at the University of Maryland Lung Rescue Unit accepted him as a patient. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away before he could receive a lung transplant.” After his death, she and her family were invited to tour the Program in Lung Healing at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Plylar said she was so impressed with the research conducted there that she wanted to show her support, so she decided to start a tennis tournament. The round robin doubles tournament is open to all ages and abilities. On Friday, May 17, women’s and men’s doubles competitions are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sea Colony. Mixed doubles matches will be played on Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be served both days. An after party with wine, hors d’oeuvres and music will take place Saturday, May 18 from 5:30-8 p.m. featuring local celebrity chef and musician Paul Cullen. New this year, Our Harvest in Fenwick Island, Delaware, will host a Dine and Donate event on Friday, beginning at 5 p.m. A portion of the proceeds will go to Love for Lungs. The cost to participate is $100 per person, which includes an option to play both days, T-shirt, breakfast, lunch, prizes, winner’s award baskets, gift bags, and entrance to the after party. Registration is preferred

Donations are also accepted year-round. “I can’t really put it into words how much this means to me,” Plylar said. “I’m just so honored to be able to try to carry out the legacy of my grandfather. I hope he’s excited his legacy will help people.” For more information or to register, visit www.loveforlungs.com.
