STEWART DOBSON/OCEAN CITY TODAY

GO O’S Right on schedule, the Baltimore Orioles showed up in Ocean City on their way to, one would hope, another winning season in their nesting grounds farther north.

Wind farm projects OK’d by PSC Ocean City govt’s requests not included as conditions of commission’s approval

By Brian Gilliland and Katie Tabeling Associate Editors (May 12, 2017) The two proposals to locate wind farms off the coast of Ocean City were approved this week, with the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) announcing its decision Thursday morning.

The PSC’s conditional approval of projects by U.S Wind and Skipjack beat its May 17 deadline by a work week and includes none of the provi-

sions advocated by the Ocean City mayor and City Council.

As proposed, the U.S. Wind project would be 12-15 nautical miles offshore, although the PSC did say it needs to be located as far east in the lease area as practical.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management determined the offshore areas that could be developed for wind energy, and Maryland’s lease area, as won by U.S. Wind is located to the east of the resort, from the Delaware line down south past the inlet.

The final location, PSC spokeswoman Tori Leonard said, is subject to federal review and would include

public comment as part of the process.

“I’m not against wind energy, I just don’t want to see [turbines]. What I want to know is where exactly they’ll be,” Councilman Tony DeLuca said.

“It’s all in estimations. One project [U.S. Wind] said they’d move back five miles, to 16 miles offshore, the other one 19 and a half. Neither one are committed to 26 miles offshore.”

DeLuca pushed for both projects to be located farther offshore during council sessions last month. The most recent letter the resort sent asked for U.S. Wind’s proposal to be located 23 miles offshore, and Skipjack’s proSee FEDS Page 7

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) Yes, there will be cocktails on the veranda at Bikefest after all. In a reversal of what appeared to be a solid 5-2 defeat last week, the Ocean City Council on Tuesday voted to allow Bikefest to sell liquor at this year’s event, providing it abides by a strict set of rules.

Councilman John Gehrig, who during the council’s May 1 session vigorously supported Bikefest organizer Kathy Michael’s request to sell mixed drinks, offered another motion to approve liquor sales in the closing moments of Tuesday’s work session.

This time, however, he benefited from some groundwork done after that failed vote.

After last week’s defeat, Michael emailed the council to clarify how liquor would be served: bartenders would pour 1.5 ounces of a spirit from a limited bar into a glass of ice while topping it off with soda, ginger ale or lemonade. The glass would be 8 to 10 ounces.

“I support this not because I’m lobbying for alcohol. We need to be consistent,” Gehrig said. “We just got through Springfest, that had beer and wine. If someone wants to get drunk, they’re going to get drunk. I don’t know why we’re the moral police on See LIQUOR Page 5

Surprise charges for bench dedicated eight years ago

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) When Brian King bought a “Boardwalk Dedicated Bench” eight years ago to honor deceased family members, he wasn’t anticipating any additional expenses.

That’s why the Fallston resident was surprised to receive a letter in March from Ocean City asking for more than $1,100 to cover repair costs for the bench.

“It was a shock,” he said. “It came completely out of the blue.”

In September 2008, King paid $1,370 dollars for a bench and plaque dedicated

to his in-laws in front of the Ocean Mecca Hotel on the Boardwalk at 23rd Street.

“That’s where my wife’s family would go on vacation when they were kids,” he said.

City Manger Doug Miller said after nearly a decade of exposure to the sun and salt air, a number of the dedicated benches gracing the Boardwalk require attention.

“The first grouping of benches started to deteriorate,” he said.

Councilman Dennis Dare said the bench program was started more than a decade ago during his tenure as city manager. At that time, the city undertook an effort to remodel the Boardwalk, which included new light poles and trashcans.

OC asks bench owners to pay cost quite involved.

“In order to do it right, you have to take it apart and replace the recycled lumber,” he said. “It’s almost just as cheap to buy a new one as refurbish one.”

Continued from Page 3 “We really didn’t stop and think one of these days those benches are going to be dilapidated,” he said.

Miller explained that after examining the topic for nearly a year Mayor Rick Meehan and the City Council created three options for bench owners, including the opportunity to reclaim and take possession of the benches.

In some instances, the letters have been retuned as undeliverable, in which case Miller said the city would assume the owners have no interest in retaining their benches. The final alternative would allow a dedicated bench to remain in its current location but not without being spruced up a bit.

“They can pay our costs to put on a special coating,” he said. “The bench isn’t going to last forever.”

Dare said refurbishing benches is

‘They can pay our costs to put on a special coating. The bench isn’t going to last forever..’

City Manager, Doug Miller Admitting the decision was not easy for the council to reach, Dare questioned how long Ocean City is obligated to maintain previously dedicated benches.

“For eternity or some finite time?

There has to be closure to it,” he said.

He also noted bench owners who aren’t interested in re-claiming their seat

can ask the city to return the dedication plaque.

After receiving the letter informing him of the associated costs to maintain the bench, King wonders why his original paperwork failed to mention the possibility of future maintenance costs.

“I got a letter at the beginning of March saying when 10 years is up, this is what’s going to happen,” he said. “If they had said that in the beginning, I’d be fine.”

Thinking back, King recalls his excitement upon discovering the dedicated benches nearly a decade ago.

“I though it was a great idea,” he said.

“I got home and I couldn’t wait to call.”

At this point, King has yet to decide which option to pursue, noting the emotional attachment for his family.

“At the end of the day, I want my wife to still enjoy it,” he said.

FEMA informs OC of potential flood insurance savings

(May 12, 2017) The Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) announced this week that it has determined that Ocean City will increase to a Class 6 in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS).

Floodplain management activities implemented by Ocean City qualifies the town for a 20 percent discount in the premium cost of flood insurance for policies issued or renewed in special flood hazard areas on or after May 1.

According to FEMA, preferred risk policies, applicable in Ocean City’s Zone X as shown on the NFIP Flood Insurance Rate Map, are not eligible for the CRS discount.

Standard rate flood insurance policies rated on previous flood risk zones are limited to a CRS discount of 10 percent in Class 1-6 communities.

Individual premiums will be reduced by an additional average of $16 per policy and will result in approximately $400,000 savings per year for Ocean City residents.

“This discount is based on Ocean City’s actions and determination to lead our residents to be more disaster resistant,” said Bill Neville, Planning and Community Development director for the Town of Ocean City. “The Town has remained committed to education and to enhance public safety, property protection, as well as protect the natural functions of floodplains.”

BIRD FLIRTS Sherman, the seven-foot tall Delmarva Shorebirds mascot, flirts with Lori Yates, Eastern Shore manager for Susan G. Komen Maryland, during the community health fair on Tuesday at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street.

Feds to consider comments, but has last word on turbines Continued from Page 1 posal be moved to 26 miles offshore.

“I’m surprised and disappointed. I don’t think this is good for Ocean City. It’s going to negatively impact property values, especially on the oceanfront, and tourism. People don’t want to see these things when they’re sitting on the beach,” Councilman Matt James said.

Ocean City mayor Rick Meehan was unavailable for comment.

The U.S. Wind proposal calls for 62 turbines at a capacity of 248 megawatts and will connect to the grid at the Indian River substation.

Skipjack, the name of the project proposed by Deepwater Wind of Rhode Island, would involve 15 turbines situated 17-21 miles offshore. It would connect to the grid via the Ocean City substation. The proposed capacity is 120 megawatts.

Each project, according to a statement by PSC member Anthony O’Donnell, is required to use the best commercially available technology to lessen views of the wind turbines by

residents and visitors.

Among the requirements are: • The creation of 4,977 direct jobs during the development, construction and operating phases of the projects.

• The companies must pass 80 percent of any construction savings on to ratepayers and to make contributions of $6 million each to the Maryland Offshore Wind Business Development Fund.

• The companies also will be required to use port facilities in the Baltimore region and Ocean City for construction and operations and maintenance activities. The developers must invest collectively at least $76 million in a steel fabrication plant in Maryland and together fund at least $39.6 million to support port upgrades at the Tradepoint Atlantic, formerly Sparrows Point shipyard, in Baltimore County.

• Each company must notify the commission by May 25 whether it accepts the conditions of approval contained in the order.

Bikefest seeking city bucks in exchange for sponsorship Tourism Commission backs deal for social media, print ads for resort at $25,000

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) Even though the City Council said last year it would no longer provide “seed money” to help with the startup costs of OC Bikefest, it’s now being asked to consider whether to sponsor the event by contributing $25,000.

The Ocean City Tourism Commission on Tuesday recommended that the council consider a sponsorship deal with the event organizers, with Tourism Director Donna Abbott telling commission members that Ocean City would be promoted through Bikefest’s various venues and social media platforms in exchange for the $25,000. This deal would contrast with past practices of funding the motorcycle event through the Tourism Advisory Board.

“Rather than sending them a check and not getting anything back, this would be an opportunity to get something in return,” Abbott said. “Bikefest is a top-searched keyword on our website, so there’s an opportunity here to tap into an event that can be helpful with promotion.”

Under the proposal, Ocean City’s tourism logo would be included on Bikefest’s website as digital advertisements. The resort’s tourism website would also be linked on the website.

Two full-color ads would also be included in promotional material.

Ocean City’s logo would also be on signs at Bikefest at the inlet and the convention center on 40th Street.

Signs would also be at the Shorebirds Stadium in Salisbury, where a motorcycle rally will be held.

Abbott said that the deal would in-

clude a social media takeover on OC Bikefest’s social media sites on certain dates that would promote fall events. She pointed out that Bikefest, which is held mid-September, is the first of the resort’s fall events that were created to help expand business as summer wanes.

“We’re trying to use this as a stepping stone to get people interested in the fall events, like Sunfest, Winefest, O.C.toberfest and Winterfest,” Abbott said. “I think that once you walk away from the Bikefest, those people have kids and grandkids. They have the ability to travel, and we would like them to come back.”

Since Bikefest started in 2010, residents have made several complaints about the noise the motorcycles bring to the resort. Some councilmembers have also been apprehensive about the event, based on the perception that it draws a rougher crowd.

The Tourism Advisory Board, a coalition of tourism industry members that recommend new events to the city, supported Bikefest in the past to help it get it off the ground. In 2013 and 2014, the board provided $35,000 each year out of its annual budget of $300,000. Two years ago, that funding went down to $20,000.

Last year, Bikefest organizers OC Jams and the Tourism Advisory Board requested $25,000 from the city but only $10,000 was awarded.

Council Secretary Mary Knight, who chairs the Tourism Commission, said at the time that additional seed money would not be forthcoming in subsequent years.

Abbott said in a later interview that this new proposal was developed by her department, rather than the Tourism Advisory Board.

“It’s a matter of making a deal with the event promoters where Ocean See KNIGHT Page 11

Knight said that she saw the value in the proposal, and did not consider this a different avenue for Bikefest organizers to get their annual funding.

“They heard the message loud and clear that we’re not going to give money away, especially for an established event. Bikefest is well-established,” Knight said in a separate interview. “We have done promotional deals like this in the past with Hooked on OC, and we can monitor the attendance numbers at the fall events to see if it’s working.”

The Ocean City government signed on to be a title sponsor with the local

fishing show in 2008 at a cost of $25,000.

Knight added that she supported the sponsorship proposal and Bikefest as a major revenue source for the resort.

“It’s a good event with good people. I know that locals leave the area when Bikefest comes to town, and that’s their desire,” Knight said. “I also know that the bikers go to restaurants, Royal Farms, 7-Elevens and bars and spend their money. It’s like other events, and we are fortunate to have quick responses from our police to handle any bad elements it may have.”

The City Council will discuss the Bikefest sponsorship deal during the May 15 session. If approved, the funding would come out of the fiscal year 2018 budget.

Nonprofit donations scrutinized by county Most organizations set at last year’s totals, but others receive decreases

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) One of the more contentious debates during the Worcester County Commissioners’ budget session on Tuesday was which nonprofit and cultural organizations to fund, and in what amount.

Commissioner President Jim Bunting made his intentions clear.

“I think we should reduce every nonprofit request by 10 percent,” he said. He also noted that Wicomico County offers no support to local nonprofits.

“Nonprofits are formed by people coming together to raise money,” Bunting said.

The process started with the requested budget, where all the organizations made their cases for new, stable or increased funding, and the county budget committee consisting of County Administrator Harold Higgins, Treasurer Phil Thompson, treasurer and Budget Manager Kathy Whited setting all the requests to last year’s level.

In total, the requests came to about $1.25 million, and were reduced by staff to about $861,000, before the officials started making

changes. request was zeroed out over the obNo new requests from nonprofits jections of Commissioners Joe Mitrewere funded, including the Ocean cic and Bud Church.

That Pocomoke City, received funding

from the county. According to Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw, who represents Pocomoke on the board, the theater was forced to purchase new equipment, which was a significant financial setback.

“Prior to this they were doing well,” he said.

The conversation then moved to the Delmarva Discovery Center and its $40,500 request, which was reduced by 10 percent in keeping with President and CEO Stacey Weisner’s promise to the county made a few years ago.

Several of the commissioners, however, were reluctant to grant any funding.

Church said he had been saying each year was the last to fund the center longer than anyone on the current board, but the new otter exhibit and Weisner had really turned the center around.

Church also noted there are fewer private sources for funding in Pocomoke than there are in the north end of the county.

“I’m not sure I’d do it again next year, but the center deserves a continued chance,” Church said.

The measure passed with Bertino, Bunting and Commissioner Ted Elder against.

The county budget is not yet finalized, and could change ahead of its anticipated June 6 adoption.

County gov’t grants OC less than hoped for Resort, towns to get more unrestricted funding, but not at tax differential levels

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) Last week, Ocean City Manager Doug Miller said the resort was waiting to see if the county government would send the resort $3 million in grants or $7 million in grants before tapping into a $50,000 war chest to pursue legal remedies in the ongoing dispute over a possible tax differential.

This week the resort has an answer, of sorts. The commissioners approved sending Ocean City about $3.35 million, down from a request of $3.65 million. The budget has not yet been formally adopted, which is expected during the county’s June 6 meeting.

Since 1982

“I think the budget is probably finalized,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, Ocean City’s representative on the county board, said. “I know if I was sitting on the OC council, I’d be upset.”

There are four main differences between the resort’s request and what the commissioners have right now in the proposed budget.

First, Ocean City Joe Mitrecic requested a 4.75 percent increase to its unrestricted grant, which is how the county handles revenue sharing with the municipalities.

The city can spend this money however it wants.

A committee of county staff made up of County Administrator Harold Higgins, Treasurer Phil Thompson

and Budget Manager Kathy Whited zeroed out that amount. The commissioners could have added it back in during its work session on Tuesday, but didn’t. The county has two more work sessions scheduled for the ‘I know if I was budget ahead of sitting on the the formal adopOC council, I’d tion.

The committee be upset.’ did recommend an Commissioner increase of Joe Mitrecic $20,000 to the grant, which is four times the amount the other municipalities in Worcester received.

The committee also removed $100,000 in funding for half of the design phase of Fire Station #3, a project that has since been shelved. It also removed another $100,000 to formulate a master plan and design

for the Ocean Bowl Skate Park.

“The county’s own differential study says there’s a $7 million difference,” Mitrecic said. “I believe they’re forcing OC’s hand.”

Asked if he would support tax increases to other areas of Worcester in order to pay for the differential, Mitrecic said there are other options.

“I don’t believe we have to go that route. The county charges Ocean City the full amount to collect the food tax and the room tax, which ends up being about $500,000. There are other ways around it. I don’t want to cripple the rest of the county, but I do want to get more for Ocean City,” he said.

Mitrecic said the county could also contribute and work with Ocean City more on different projects, like the downtown recreational complex on Third Street.

County begins evaluating budget proposal Staff recommendations given heavy weight during negotiations this Tuesday

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) As the Worcester County Commissioners sat down to the first work session dedicated to trimming the proposed budget, they found a document that had already been combed through thoroughly, with the nearly $6.7 million shortfall between revenues and suggested expenditures eliminated.

The county’s budget committee, comprised of County Administrator Harold Higgins, Treasurer Phil Thompson and Budget Manager Kathy Whited, even had a little room to spare, ending up with a surplus of

$5,739 before the commissioners made their own changes.

Though the final decision is in the elected officials’ hands, the staff recommendations were given great weight during the first round of work sessions on the document, with another scheduled for next Tuesday following the board’s regular meeting and another the following Tuesday in Snow Hill.

In general, the committee’s recommendations were accepted without comment, and allowed a streamlined process that used to take several sessions in recent years to be completed in a few hours.

Commissioner President Jim Bunting was delighted by the change.

“I see a cut here, a cut there, it seems like they got the message,” he said.

“In defense of the department

heads, they were well prepared when they got to us,” Higgins replied.

Several departments, such as Emergency Services and the Sherriff’s Office, saw reductions in overall salaries and vehicle requests. A request by the jail to replace the kitchen’s HVAC system was removed from its own budget and placed into the county’s overall capital improvement budget, which had more than enough of a balance to handle the $425,000 project, according to Higgins.

Not to say there weren’t some small eliminations made either. The Fire Marshal had $25 removed from its vehicle registration account, and a donation to the Ocean City Development Corporation for $1 was also excised.

“I’ll take the savings of a dollar,” Commissioner Ted Elder laughed as the measure passed unanimously.

GET PAID TO RECYCLE. Your old appliances may be wasting energy and money. Let us recycle them and give you a check. Schedule a no-cost pickup or come to our next recycling event.

Added back into the plan was the entirety of the Board of Education’s capital improvement requests of $566,100, which had been cut to $167,000 by the committee.

Superintendent Lou Taylor had outlined four projects: updating the energy management systems at Buckingham Elementary and Snow Hill Middle schools, replacing the chiller at Stephen Decatur Middle School and installing a swing in the courtyard at Cedar Chapel. The Snow Hill Middle and Stephen Decatur Middle projects had been zeroed out, but the commissioners decided to fund the projects anyway.

Absent was a line item to provide video access to the commissioners’ meetings, a hot-button issue in the past, and $7,700 to purchase tablets or laptops for the commissioners to reduce paper usage for county meetings was also zeroed out, though the board was told directly by Higgins that the move would save the county significant money.

The changes made so far are still largely preliminary, and won’t become official until the budget is formally adopted, which is expected to occur on June 6. If, however, the commissioners come to an agreement on a proposal they think will pass a vote, they may cancel an upcoming work session in advance of the June 6 meeting.

County sacrifices longevity bonuses for increased COLA Request for more hiring largely ignored in budget proposal under evaluation

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) Worcester County government employees are set to see a pay increase once the budget is ratified in June as well as a one percent cost-of-living adjustment at the expense of longevity bonuses.

After 20 years of service, a county employee would receive a $500 longevity bonus, with the amount increasing every five years served thereafter. The bonuses, Human Resources Director Stacey Norton said, were taxed at a different rate than regular pay. The commissioners agreed the one-percent bump is more meaningful in terms of take-home pay and benefits like retirement contributions, and so discontinued the longevity program in order to fund the cost-ofliving adjustment.

The commissioners also granted some hiring requests as they reviewed the proposed budget on Tuesday, and discussed a few more in closed session after the public portion of the meeting concluded. Included in those talks were two part-time positions,

one for tourism and another for economic development, but no further details are available.

The Sheriff’s Office requested three new full-time deputies along with four new part-time positions to help with staffing the circuit court, but only one full-time position was granted.

Also granted was Treasurer Phil Thompson’s request for one full-time and one part-time document imager, as the county moves from paper to digital backups for documents.

The roads department, which, according to manager Frank Adkins, has shrunk from 49 to 34 employees in the last decade, asked for four new employees and got approval for one.

Two park department positions were added, one general purpose and one stationed at the county boat ramp, which is going to be offset by the elimination of one vacant parttime position currently on the books, according to Norton.

Two employees, one full time and one part time, were hired to staff the new Berlin Library, when it is built in the latter part of FY 2018.

Economic Development had a proposed business development coordinator position axed, and the water department had its request cut in half from two positions down to one.

City Council majority pushes fireworks displays to 10:30 Although print ads already have old time, Councilman Gehrig asks for later start

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) Months after the City Council left the launch time of summer’s beach fireworks at 10 p.m., a council majority on Tuesday voted to move back the fireworks fuse-lighting to 10:30 p.m.

In the final moments of Tuesday’s work session, Councilman John Gehrig made a motion to move back the show based on responses from Boardwalk business owners on the matter in a survey in March. He received backing from Councilman Matt James and support from Council President Lloyd Martin.

“I think the fireworks are a great appeal, and they’ll keep people on the Boardwalk a half-hour longer even if they have kids,” Martin said. “If you look at the survey, it’s split on the time.”

TEAM Productions has been putting on the fireworks show for the past five years as part of a free event package to add to visitor experience. In February, the Tourism Commission recommended moving the firework show to a later hour based on the request from one business and responses from four

others that sit on that commission.

However, the council was split on the matter and asked the Ocean City Development Corporation to poll businesses on the boards. Of the 34 businesses that participated, 14 stores preferred the 10 p.m. fuse-lighting and 14 shops pushed for an 11 p.m. start time. The remaining six businesses either provided only comments on the matter rather than taking the survey or pushed for a 10:30 p.m. start time.

The survey also showed that business increased for restaurants and food vendors before and after the fireworks, while retail shop owners reported having patrons walk out to see the show.

After OCDC presented the survey results to Tourism Commission in March, that body tentatively recommended that the council leave the fireworks show at 10 p.m.

Councilman Dennis Dare, who was one of the first naysayers on a latter show, reiterated his stance on the matter. “It’s way too late and we’re a family resort,” he said. “If the merchants don’t want them, then don’t shoot them.”

Councilman Wayne Hartman agreed.

“I heard from families that the kids are coming unglued,” Hartman said. “I think the bigger conversation after we finish this season is if we continue it with the other events that are going on.”

Council Secretary Mary Knight said that during her volunteer shift at the information booth, she often hears complaints on how late the current show already is. She added that the promotional material already reads 10 p.m.

“We can change the Facebook and OCocean [tourism website] easily, but with the visitor guides, it’s all over the place,” she said.

Hartman added that was an issue with him as well, considering that the council never made a vote on keeping to the start time in the first place.

“I don’t know who made that decision to print the ads, since we didn’t have a proper vote. Things should be done to order,” he said.

The final vote showed the council was as divided on changing the firework show time as businesses were.

The show was pushed to 10:30 with a 4-3 vote, with Dare, Hartman and Knight dissenting.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) Thanks to the Ocean City Elks Lodge, banners commemorating active military personnel and veterans now wave in the beach breeze along the Boardwalk.

During the lodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Hometown Heroes Military Banner dedication ceremony last Thursday, several soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members and veterans celebrated raising 27 banners, each one with the name, rank and picture of active duty or former service members.

The plan is to raise all 40 banners soon, said Pat Riordan of the Elksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Veterans Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have about four spots still open for this program. We had 27 banners ready to go for the ceremony, and we have nine on their way,â&#x20AC;? Riordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re honoring Korean War vets as well.â&#x20AC;?

The Hometown Heroes program started honoring local military personnel three years ago by hanging banners on Boardwalk light posts from the inlet to Fourth Street. In 2016, the program expanded to include World War II sol-

diers and personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of the banners is to identify all our World War II vets that are still alive, but due to circumstance, some werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to take part in this,â&#x20AC;?

Riordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan was to always expand to other wars, like Afghanistan and Iraq. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep working to have them all recognized.â&#x20AC;?

The banners for veterans have a different color scheme than the active duty soldiers, which is a red, white and blue theme. WWII honorees have a sepia-toned banner, which makes it look like a photograph from the early 20th century. All banners were printed

by Signarama in Rockville, Maryland.

Several WWII veterans and family members of active service members attended last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication ceremony. Jeff Mumford honored his World War II veteran father, Warren, who served as army private first class, by singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;God Bless America.â&#x20AC;? The crowd joined Mumford at the chorus.

Cpl. Leo Bateman, who also served in World War II, was called by the lodge and asked to speak during the dedication ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pleasure to be asked, to be 92 years old and asked to say something at this shindig,â&#x20AC;? Bateman said to the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re [the Elks] are doing See SPONSORS Page 21

City officials weighing taxi medallions buy-back offers While negotiating prices for permits, Council continues transfers between cabbies

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The Ocean City government is looking at bids from two taxi companies interested in selling their medallions back to the city, but their asking price may be too high for resort officials.

Last week, OCPD Records Section Manager Michelle Monico opened bids from Niteclub Taxi owner Michael Pawlewski and Ocean City Taxi owner Carl Kurchak offering to sell 14 medallions back to the city. Pawlewski sought to sell six medallions, all falling between $4,400 and $4,800. Kurchak set his asking price for eight medallions at $6,666.66.

The City Council turned the bids over to the city manager’s office and expect to see a presentation in the near future.

“I’ve been asked to further negotiate the offers with the two companies [by the City Council,” City Manager Doug Miller said.

In mid-April, the City Council voted behind closed doors to start a voluntary buy-back program ostensibly to prop up the falling prices of taxi medallions. Letters were quietly sent to cab companies offering to buy back the medallions at a price point that was not mentioned but is believed to be around $4,000. Bids were closed on May 4.

“There’s hasn’t been another decision by the council yet to have another voluntary buy-back,” Council President Lloyd Martin said.

Ocean City started regulating the taxi industry by selling 175 medallions

at $1,500 each six years ago. Cab companies were permitted to sell the permits amongst themselves, as long as the city received 25 percent of the sale.

Permits need to be renewed every year at a $500 fee.

In recent years, the average resale prices for medallions plummeted, and resort officials point to ride-hailing companies Lyft and Uber saturating the market. Resale rates dropped from roughly an average of $3,000 in the last two years.

The council has approved 11 medallion transfers this year, five of which occurred during Tuesday’s work session. One of those transfers was between Pawlewski and Fasil Gebereegzabhar of Lucky Taxi for $4,100.

Councilman Matt James has repeatedly criticized continuing business as usual instead of buying medallions outright, even though the council has publicly said it wants to support the taxi industry.

“This [medallion transfers] falls within the price point we discussed, and we’re trying to increase the value of medallions and reduce the number of them out on the streets,” James said on Tuesday. “I don’t know why we would allow some transfers to go through at such low prices.”

Martin said during the work session the point is voluntarily boosting the sale price for those interested in selling to the city, not punishing those who still see taxis as a viable business.

“The prior council created the problem by putting too many medallions on the street, but I didn’t agree with it,” said Martin, who sat on the council when the medallion system was implemented. “I’m not OK with taking something that someone’s going to make a living with.”

Sponsors, local honorees still sought for vet program Continued from Page 18 everything that was never thought of here with the banners. It’s a real honor being up here in front of these people … keep me in your prayers.”

Family members of soldiers currently serving also took part. Mike McDermott, whose son, Army Capt. Nate McDermott, is serving in Afghanistan, also offered comments.

“I took a photo of his banner, and there’s a nine-hour time difference there, so he’ll see it in the morning,” McDermott said on Thursday. “I cannot tell you what this means to my family. These kids like my son are ducking and shooting every night for this country.

“There’s so many things going on in the world, it’s easy to forget the people that are in harm’s way for holding up our freedom,” McDermott added. “As

long as there’s people who’ve served and people willing to go on the front lines, this county will always remain strong.”

Public works employees will install the remaining banners in the upcoming weeks. They will be removed at the end of the season and presented to the families of the honorees on Oct. 21 at the Elks Lodge.

Riordan said that businesses, fraternal organizations and citizens can sponsor the Hometown Hero program for $250.

“It’s not about the advertising — people do this for the good of getting these guys the recognition they deserve,” he said.

OC council approves taxi medallion transfers Debate ensues over prices due to impact from ride sharing options like Uber

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The Ocean City Council approved five medallion transfers during Tuesday’s work session, despite some concerns that some asking prices were perpetuating the plummeting value of the taxi badges.

Two of the medallion transfers, one between Abdalla Yousif of Safari Taxi to Abuelhassan Balla Abdelmagid and one between Niteclub Taxi and Lucky Taxi, passed with relative ease. The offers were for $4,000 and $4,100, respectively, with the city receiving a 25 percent cut of each sale.

But the remaining three medallions, owned by Norman Mullinix Jr. of At the Beach Taxi, were selling at $2,000 each to two separate cab companies. Councilman Wayne Hartman asked the council to refuse this sale for its low valuation “I think this is the lowest medallion transfer we’ve seen,” he said. “It supports the reason for the buy-back program, and it’s well below the threshold we agreed on.”

In April, the council voted to offer buying back taxi medallions from cabbies in an effort to increase their value. The price point is believed to be around $4,000.

Ocean City sold 175 taxi medallions when it first started regulating the industry in 2010 at $1,500. To date, there are 142 medallions still in service and the average resale price

between cabbies has dropped.

The average resale price for Ocean City medallions was $7,788 in its peak in 2015. A year later, it dropped to $4,200. Hartman and other resort officials point to the rise of ride-hailing services like Uber overcrowding business.

“The idea is not only to increase the value of medallions, because we get 25 percent with each transfer, but we need to help the industry survive,” Hartman said. “If you go anywhere and ask taxi drivers, they’ll tell you Uber impacted their business. I see [refusing this bid] as a way to save the taxi industry.”

With that said, he made a motion to reject the medallion sales, and he received backing from Councilman Matt James.

Council President Lloyd Martin

disagreed, and said that this would be a case of government interfering with small business. Martin also was on the council that voted to implement the permit system in the first place.

“Why did you think it was a good time to get involved in small business then?” James asked Martin.

“We were trying to regulate them, because it was like the wild west there. Some taxis didn’t have A/C or heat, and it had to be regulated for public safety, as you do with building permits or fire codes,” Martin answered.

Councilman Tony DeLuca, who was against the voluntary buy-back program in the first place, argued that outright buying three medallions wasn’t going to solve the larger issue.

“Uber is looking at Ocean City and say ‘they took out three taxis, let’s put six more Ubers out there. Thanks,’ he said. “They’ll see that we blinked.”

Hartman’s motion died, as Martin, DeLuca, Councilman Dennis Dare and Council Secretary Mary Knight voted against it.

The medallion transfer between At the Beach Taxi and Aloha OC Taxi and Caribbean Club Taxi was later approved with a 4-3 vote. Hartman, James and Councilman John Gehrig were opposed.

Overall, the city gained $3,525 from the five taxi medallion transfers, as part of the 25 percent cut.

Police commission leaves trailer parking ban on books Heavy-handed enforcement complaints leads to revisit of 2015 ordinance in resort

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) With Cruisin’ Ocean City a week away, the Police Commission on Monday will stay the course and keep the resort’s trailerparking enforcement policy intact.

Police Chief Ross Buzzuro told the commission that sticking with the plan would mean giving officers the power to use discretion on when to give someone the $250 ticket for parking a trailer on public streets or parking lots without a permit between May 1 to Oct. 31. No trailers are allowed to park on Baltimore Avenue, no matter what time of year.

“We look at each violation to see if it’s a true violation, and the officer can handle it accordingly,” he said.

Buzzuro also addressed earlier arguments about dividing officers’ focus.

“The extra time officers spend there will be used to see if a situation is occurring.”

In March, the City Council asked the Police Commission to revisit the ordinance passed in 2015, as City Hall and Ocean City Police were flooded with complaints of wrongly issued tickets. The goal was to limit the number of trailers parked in the city and to eliminate them from Baltimore Avenue. The subsequent ordinance focused on a timeframe for events like Cruisin’ Ocean City, OC BikeFest and Endless Summer Cruisin’.

An unforeseen consequence to the measure was drivers that would park outside the convention center, where they would pick up their permit, and would discover a ticket when they re-

turned to their car.

Ocean City Police were aggressive in their enforcement, and issued 368 citations.

Contractors also got caught in the crossfire, as they would be cited while in the city working on private properties. Councilman Wayne Hartman wanted assurance that this would not repeat in the coming weeks.

Mayor Rick Meehan said that the first year helped troubleshoot this particular error and possible solutions.

“We have a couple of issues with [contractors] in the first year, but we were quick to let them know. We’re ready this time to work with contractors and the property owners they’re working with,” Meehan said.

“Like I said, depending on our investigation or inquiry, we’ll handle it accordingly,” Buzzuro added.

When it comes to drivers parking at the convention center to pick up their permits, Ocean City police officials said that the matter was discussed with the Patrol Division, which typically handles the citations.

Without a vote, Police Commission Chairman Councilman Dennis Dare agreed to recommend keeping the trailer parking policy intact. The full council will discuss the matter during the May 15 session.

Before closing the discussion, Meehan said now that the local law is heading to its second year, the priority is getting the word out.

“What we need to do is get the social media word out in advance. We also have messages boards and Route 50 sign boards, so let’s make sure we have intensity of getting the word out,” he said. “The worst thing is when someone says they didn’t know.

Let’s get aggressive with the notification and get in front of this.”

Legislation required to allow Boardwalk museum annex OC Life-Saving Station not updated since 1970s, and needs more display space

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum wants to add a second building with the help of the Ocean City government, but resort officials want to see if it’s feasible before committing to the project.

The museum has not been upgraded since the 1970s, after residents renovated the abandoned Coast Guard Station with money allocated by the city government.

Life-Saving Station Museum Board Member John Fager told the City Coun-

cil during Tuesday’s work session that it was time to invest in the museum once more.

“It’s a gem. Ocean City doesn’t have that much in history that we’ve maintained,” Fager said. “The board feels it’s time to move this museum in a prominent position as an attraction, rather than seeing it while walking down the Boardwalk. But in order to do that, we need exhibit space.”

Ultimately, the museum board proposed a second building of 7,000 square feet that would sit between the current museum and the transit station.

The idea would be to move the aquarium, restroom, ticket counters and the souvenir shop to the annex building, so that exhibits could be brought out of storage and displayed.

The proposed two-story annex and the old museum would be connected through a glass walkway.

“The old coast guard station remains one of the iconic buildings in town, and the idea is to create a new building that becomes a background,” said architect Jeff Schoellkopf, who drew the annex concept renderings. “Part of the annex would free up the museum, so we could feature more of the life-saving exhibits, like the buoys and more boats and unclutter it a bit.”

In the annex, the first floor would have more permanent exhibits. The second floor would have office space and a multipurpose hall to hold up to 150 people. It could be used for special events, lectures or traveling marine exhibits in the future.

What inspired museum board members to expand the facility was after an architect estimated it would cost $500,000 to make the building ADAcompliant. Board President Nancy Howard explained to the council that the board thought it would make more sense to leverage that amount to create a two-story addition, including an ele-

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, located on the southern end of the Boardwalk, is looking to expand by creating a second building, which could be connected through a suspended glass walkway. The Design Group provided the concept drawings to the City Council.

vator, a second entrance and staircase.

“Perhaps we should have started doing this five years ago, but you got to start somewhere,” Howard said.

In all, the museum board estimated that the total renovations would cost $1.8 million. Eventually, it would seek $600,000 from the city government and raise $200,000. But for now, the board requested the city’s written commitment to financial support in the future and assistance in dealing with various state agencies.

Fager explained that there were several organizations, like the Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development, that would offer grant money, but it would need the city to complete the applications.

Another matter was whether the proposed expansion would need an exemption to the Maryland Department of Natural Resource’s established building line, which restricts buildings from being built too close to the beach.

“This is not something the DNR would handle administratively, this would need to be done legislatively,” City Engineer Terry McGean said. “I don’t see any pushback, but it would need to be done next spring with the next legislative session.”

Councilmembers, however, found it too early to commit to the museum annex, even if it switches course and expands east towards the inlet parking

lot. Councilman Tony DeLuca added that the city will prioritize projects through the strategic and financial strategic planning sessions in July.

“You’re not going to get an answer on this today,” Council President Lloyd Martin told the board members. “I get the feeling that the council is behind this, but we need to know where it fits in our capital improvement plan.”

Councilman Dennis Dare said he supported the idea, but that even the alternate suggestion of expanding to the east also needed further thought.

Moving to the inlet parking lot could take parking spaces out, and with each spot generating $2,000 in revenue, the losses add up quickly.

“Every action has a reaction,” Councilman Wayne Hartman said. “It’ll take some time to sift through them all.”

The council voted to have City Manager Doug Miller investigate the possibility of the addition.

Del. Mary Beth Carozza, who attended the meeting to support the museum, told the council that she agreed with its decision and offered to serve as a liaison between the resort and state government as needed.

“I spend a lot of time in the summer down there and I can tell you that the out-of-state visitor interest is there [for this], and I am committed to be helpful in this process wherever I can,” she said.

As part of the marketing plan to promote the prize money for the first white marlin catch of the season, Ocean City will include ads like this one on its tourism website.

Social media marketing plan announced for white marlin Tourism Dept. pushes prize money on websites, to laud angler on catch in council

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) With the quest underway for the season’s first white marlin, Ocean City officials have released a marketing campaign they hope will bring more notice to the “White Marlin Capital of the World.”

During Tuesday’s Tourism Commission meeting, Tourism Director Donna Abbott laid out the strategy to promote sportfishing and the city government’s $5,000 prize to the angler who reels in the first white marlin of the season.

Three weeks ago, the City Council voted to eliminate the longstanding prize money as a way to reduce spending. After protests from the community, as well as a new $5,000 award put together by a handful of local businesses, the council reversed its decision, but said the $5,000 had to come out of the Tourism Department budget.

The campaign will have tourism officials working with Ocean City Marlin Club President Franky Pettolina and Scott Lenox of “Hooked on OC.” “The best bang for the buck is to get out there and capture the excitement this coveted prize garners,” Abbott said. “Social media is going to be the biggest part of the promotion.”

Ocean City’s tourism social media pages will be using the hashtag “#firstwhitemarlinoc” on every post about the white marlin catch, as will the Marlin Club and “Hooked on OC” websites.

Lenox and Dave Messick also released a video on various social media platforms on Tuesday, with Lenox and Pettolina hyping the fishing prize.

Abbott added that press releases

will be sent to media and a banner with the white marlin will be on the ococean.com tourism site.

“Hooked on OC also will put up a daily update on how many boats are going out for the marlin, and they’re certainly going to have a contest of who can guess when it’ll be caught.

That’s engaging people to be involved and get them to learn about it,” she said.

The promotion doesn’t end when the fish is caught. Abbott added that the winning angler will be interviewed in a video, which will later be pushed through Ocean City’s various social media accounts.

The city will also recognize the winning angler by presenting the $5,000 to him or her at a council meeting.

“Before, we handed over the check unceremoniously, this year we’ll add more ceremony,” Abbott said.

“Awarding that check should be a big to-do.”

Aside from the spotlight, anglers have the incentive of extra cash this year to catch the first marlin. The coalition of local businesses first agreed to pay the $5,000 if the city backed out, will still put up the money.

If the angler is a member of the Ocean City Marlin Club, the $10,000 prize money grows even larger. The Marlin Club traditionally awards $5,000 for the first white marlin catch. That puts the total prize money available at $15,000 this year.

With a plan in place, Abbott said she had one hope in the first year.

“I hope that fish isn’t caught before it can go out,” she said.

Last year, the first white marlin was caught by Andy Urban on May 27, one of the earliest times recorded since the 1930s. Generally, the first marlin is reeled in at the end of May to early June.

Springfest attendance still up, despite stormy weather

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) More than 106,000 visitors came out to Ocean City’s 27th annual Springfest last week for the live entertainment, the food and the opportunity to peruse scores of craft vendor booths.

The total attendance for the fourday event was 106,334, up from last year’s turnout of 91,370, which was low because of a bad weather forecast, said Frank Miller, Ocean City’s Special Events superintendent.

“Springfest always falls in a time of year when the atmosphere is unsettled and we take that chance,” Miller said.

“Every weekend in May has a chance of weather-related issues. Springfest fits into a puzzle of events and once it hits, we have moderate to large size events from here to November. We will not be moving the dates anytime soon.”

The festival had 184 craft booth vendors with a variety of wares from across the country, in addition to more than 30 food concessions and a lineup of live entertainment under large tents in the inlet parking lot.

“Springfest and Sunfest are such traditions for residents and guests coming to town,” Miller said. “These numbers show people are dedicated to coming.”

The slowest day at Springfest was last Thursday, when 11,450 people checked out the event as it kicked off and 1,400 concertgoers caught the Fabulous Hubcaps show in the evening.

“Thursday’s numbers are in line with previous years and a decent amount of people came out to the show,” Miller said.

Despite strong winds and periods of heavy rain, 14,214 people came out to Springfest on Friday, and country music star Josh Turner played a soldout show of 1,800 people on the Berlin Automotive Group Entertainment Pavilion stage that night.

Saturday had the largest number of attendees, when 56,459 had a decent day for the outdoor event.

“Saturday was killer and it was the second-best [turnout] on record since

2000,” Miller said. “It was cloudy and we had a little bit of rain, but you could tell the people who couldn’t come Friday because of the weather, made sure to come out Saturday.”

A soldout show of 1,797 concertgoers checked out Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on Saturday night.

“The evenings were milder, making the headlining concerts a comfortable environment,” Miller said.

Springfest wrapped on Sunday with an attendance of 24,211 for closing day, which is the second-best attendance on record.

“We missed [surpassing the record] by 84 people,” Miller said. “Sunday was beautiful, with light winds and is continuing to show a gradual increase in attendance numbers. Based on the weather forecasts, Saturday and Sunday both had increases [in attendance numbers] because of Friday. Sunday was projected to be the best day [in terms of weather].”

“You always have to be prepared for any type of weather, that is why we have the event under large tents,” he continued. “This is one of three major events where the entire town and vendors come together to give a level of quality and service, which is what Ocean City is all about.”

Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey reveals mixed results

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The crab outlook for this season is … mixed. That’s what local restaurateurs have concluded following the 2017 Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey of the Chesapeake Bay. The results of the survey ran along a good news/marginally bad news dividing line. Researchers found that spawning females would increase for the fourth straight year, while juvenile crab populations decreased from the previous year.

The winter dredge survey, which has been conducted annually since 1990, is a joint effort between the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Biologists spend the winter season excavating crabs buried in mud from 1,500 sites throughout the Chesapeake Bay to record their lengths and to develop population estimates.

Morgan Tolley, general manager for A.E. Phillips & Son processing plant on Hoopers Island, said this year’s dredge survey data showed a historic spawning female set.

According to the 2017 findings, the spawning female stock will increase 31 percent from approximately 194 million in 2016 to roughly 254 million this season. This is only the third time in the history of the survey the spawning females exceeded the healthy target level of 215 million established in 2011.

“I figured that from last year because we had so many spawning females last year and, of course, we had a very mild winter,” Tolley said.

Bob Higgins, who operates Higgins Crab House at 31st Street and 128th Street, is pleased with the early indicators of an abundant female crab population.

“Warmer weather absolutely has helped,” he said.

“All in all, I’m cautiously [yet] positively optimistic on this year.”

Albert Levy, general manager of the Crab Bag at 13005 Coastal Hwy., said he rarely gives the dredge report much weight.

“When the season started [on April 1], they started getting a lot of crabs right away and then … the catch dropped off hard,” he said. “They’re getting a lot of what they call picking crabs, or small crabs.”

The dredge survey also reported that the number of juvenile crabs will drop to just over 100 million, down from more than 250 million last year, while the overall crab count will be reduced from approximately 553 million in 2016 to roughly 455 million this year. The highest crab count recorded by the annual dredge survey is approximately 852 million in 1993.

The apparent drop in the juvenile crab population doesn’t trouble Tolley.

“We’re talking about counting little teeny-tiny crabs as big as your thumbnail all the way up to crabs that could be harvestable size,” he said. “I took it

with a grain of salt.”

Once again the less than frigid winter weather plays a role, Tolley said.

“It’s been such a mild winter there wasn’t any food, habitat or protection for them,” he said.

Higgins noted that the dredge survey fails to factor in natural predators, such as rockfish.

“You’ll see photographs on social media from time to time of somebody that will cut a rockfish open and it will have 15, 20, [or] 25 one-inch to twoinch crabs inside of one fish,” he said.

From the reports he’s gathered, Tolley feels confident hungry rockfish put a dent in the juvenile crab community.

“There was a big run of large rockfish that came up the bay in early winter when the season was closed,” he said. “That’s a vacuum cleaner … those fish just swam up here uninhibited [and] they got to eat.”

From his previous experience Tolley said, good or bad, the dredge report results are at times inaccurate. For example, although last year’s dredge report indicated a strong juvenile crab population, when the season started the picture had changed, Tolley said.

“The site here in our part of the bay was loaded with juvenile crabs but when spring came around we didn’t see them,” he said. “There’s a lot of factors that go into it.”

Looking at the big picture, Levy feels positive about the quantity of blue crabs in the bay but has concerns about quality size catches.

“I think that there’s an abundance of crabs out there,” he said. “They just haven’t matured to the levels that true crab eaters want.”

The jumbo crab picture in the bay has changed over the last few decades, Levy said.

“Years ago before our time they were getting a big abundance of large blue crabs that everybody loves,” he said. “Now there’s plenty of small crabs out there but the big ones are not around … like we would like them to be.”

Regardless of fluctuations in the juvenile crab population, Levy said an abundance of skilled crabbers make it challenging for the crustaceans to reach optimal sizes.

“The funny thing they really don’t know about crabs is they produce a lot, and there can be a lot of crabs, it’s just they don’t grow up to the size we want because we catch them too fast,” he said.

Despite the prodigious efforts to guesstimate the levels of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, Tolley said waterman wouldn’t know the true harvest picture until after the season ends.

“Mother Nature’s got a lot to do with it and we can’t do nothing about Mother Nature,” he said. “People ask me, ‘Morgan what do you think the crab seasons going to be like,’ and I say, ‘why don’t you ask me in September and I’ll tell you.’”

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) At the end of March, video-streaming service Netflix released an adaptation of the 2007 novel “13 Reasons Why,” wherein a high school student, “Clay,” receives a box of cassettes from a classmate, “Hannah,” who recently committed suicide. The series drew praise from critics and global consternation from school boards and advocate groups.

Worcester County schools are, at this point, taking no official stance on the show, but are participating in a pilot program called “Signs of Suicide” purchased by the Lower Eastern Shore Suicide Prevention Coalition as part of the social and emotional development unit provided to eighth graders, Carrie Sterrs, school spokeswoman, said.

As with all pilot programs in the county, Sterrs said the effectiveness of the program would be evaluated at the end of the school year.

Locally, the Worcester County Health Department’s Crisis Response team responded to 470 calls in fiscal 2016 and almost 64 percent of those were suicide related, according to Monica Martin, crisis team supervisor. Of those, 100 were from youths under the age of 18, she said.

“According to the most recent published data, in Worcester County there were 18 suicides from 20122014, a rate of 11.6 per 100,000 population compared to the state 9.6 rate,” Martin said.

The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, established in the name of a teen that committed suicide here in 2009 and dedicated to education and outreach on the topic, sent a letter to the schools advising them to make parents aware of the series, and that their children are watching.

Leah Klump, sister of Jesse and board member at the fund, also watched the show and provided her perspective.

Ocean City Today: What are the best things about the show?

Leah: In my opinion, the best thing about this show is the brutal honesty with which it portrays teenage life. I think that the show does an excellent job at portraying the myriad issues, both internal and external, that face today’s teenagers.

The characters are both interesting and relatable. I think that it is especially interesting that some episodes show that being passive is just as much of a problem as actively bullying.

Some characters are otherwise “good people,” but they don’t act when they see what is being done to Hannah by other students, or they

are involved in laughing at or passing on the malicious information — sometimes in order to defend their own reputation. The issues in the show are very real, and I think that the show does an excellent job of capturing that.

Ocean City Today: What are the worst?

Leah: First, viewers may perceive Hannah as a revenge seeker — trying to get back at the people who damaged her. It shows a kind of reverse bullying occurring as the students find out who the targets of the tapes are and what they did.

The title itself seems to indicate that the 13 “reasons” why she killed herself are actually people. I think that is true to the book, but that it is unfortunate as it fails to recognize the internal factors affecting Hannah.

Another point that I dislike is besides a brief mention of suicide warning signs in the first episode, the show fails to make those warning signs clear. They also fail to provide resources for people who may be facing things similar to what they see, or know someone who may be facing bullying or having suicidal thoughts, or for those who may be triggered by the images they see.

Finally, the worst thing about “13 Reasons Why,” in my opinion, is the graphic nature of the rape scenes and the suicide scene at the end. I found those to be unnecessarily disturbing and in no way helpful to the audience of the show, whether they were adults, teens, or children, and definitely inappropriate to show to young teens and children.

Ocean City Today: Where does it miss the mark?

Leah: I think it misses the mark by failing recognize the signs [of] suicide, and by making her death much too dramatic and disturbing. I think that the show contains many triggering scenes for adolescents and children and fails to provide them with support and resources while watch-

Leah Klump ing the show.

It may help to raise awareness about bullying, sexual violence, and even suicide, but I think that it may actually do more harm than good when it comes to suicide prevention.

The separate “Beyond the Reasons” episode is helpful, but it comes too late after all of the episodes are finished.

Ocean City Today: Is there anything in there that is particularly worrisome for parents or the audience?

Leah: Parents should definitely be cautious about showing the last five episodes, which contain fairly graphic rape scenes, a copycat suicide, and Hannah’s own very graphic, violent death by suicide.

These scenes were very difficult for me to watch, and I warned my mother against the last episode in particular as, having lost her son to suicide, I thought it better that she not be subjected to watching a suicide in detail.

Some critics have argued that the suicide acts as a how-to guide, although I would argue that anyone serious about killing themselves would research and know how to do it anyway. It was just unnecessarily revolting and even triggering.

[For teens] it may be the first time they actually see rape or suicide occur in a realistic manner. Even if not, a child or teen may be triggered by these images, especially if they are struggling with any of these issues themselves.

Ocean City Today: What does it get right?

Leah: The portrayal of the world teenagers live in today. It does a great job of showing the rapid spread of information and the avenue that technology presents for cyber bullying, and the highly destructive impact and isolating effect it can have on a young person.

It also does a good job of representing the importance of a reputation to a teen, and the ignorance of the parents of the kids that were in-

volved in Hannah’s suicide. The parents just didn’t know what was really happening at school because so much of it happens through the internet, and mobile phones, and is hidden. So much of cyber bullying is indirect, and the show does a great job of showing that.

Ocean City Today: What is the overall value of the show in the ongoing discussion of teen suicide?

Leah: I think it’s extremely valuable in the ongoing discussion of teen suicide, as it is a central issue in the show, but that it will be most valuable if parents and teenagers watch the show together and talk about the is-

sues that surface throughout the show.

Ocean City Today: Are parents overreacting?

Leah: I think that parents may be overreacting somewhat. Many teens have already been exposed to many of the issues portrayed in the series, whether in their own lives or through the internet, or more indirectly through friends’ experiences.

I think that this show is intriguing to teens because the issues are important to them, and that parents naturally want to protect their children, but by doing so are actually perpetuating some of the problems repre-

Ocean City Today: Is the audience underreacting?

Leah: I don’t personally think that the audience is underreacting. I think that many teens have been exposed to the ideas in this show in their own lives already, and if not, that they are able to relate to the characters and issues in the show.

They may find some scenes especially difficult to watch, but they are not underreacting because the show is honest to their experiences.

Shirley Grace changes lives through support and counsel

Jewel of the Ocean Somerset and the Boardwalk 410.289.4200

Care that’s superconvenient … and costs less!

If you or a family member suddenly becomes sick, it’s good to know you have a better choice than going to the hospital Emergency Room.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center in Berlin provided free services to 1,000 individuals in 2016, creating a safe haven for women whose lives were interrupted by an unplanned baby.

The nonprofit medical and resource clinic is designed to feel like home with inspirational sayings aligning Lisa Wilgus the walls, comfy couches and a welcoming reception from employees who are dedicated to offering counseling, help, hope, healing and individualized care.

“Every decision is scary, no matter what one you make,” Lisa Wilgus, executive director of the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center, said. “We provide the support system to [help women] face their fears. Our mission is to educate, equip and empower women by valuing all lives.”

During a sold-out gala on April 8, more than $100,000 was raised for the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center during the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser of the year. The center receives no federal or state funds.

“The donations [from the gala] get us through until next year and we usually have just enough money to get to the next event,” Wilgus said. “This fundraiser is necessary to the validity of the organization.”

Wilgus has been touched by people who, since the gala, have offered to help with services or to share their stories.

“When so many people are writing and messaging, you know something bigger than you showed up that night, especially if the message resonates with men, women and young people,” Wilgus said. “If it sets them free to make a difference in someone else’s life, that’s another part of reaching more people.”

The nonprofit wants pregnant women to know all their possibilities to make sure they make the best decision for their own lives.

“Here are the procedures, options or complications delivered to you in a caring way,” Wilgus said. “You are the only person who can advocate for your own body.”

The Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center began offering free medical services in 2012, including lab-grade pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, in addition to labor and delivery assistance.

Delivery nurses provide sonograms up to a woman’s second trimester, as well as proof of pregnancy documentation.

“It is a good educational tool if someone comes in undecided,” Wilgus said. “She sees what is going on in her body, how far along she is, and hears the fetal heart rate.”

The nonprofit also offers adoption and addiction counseling services, in addition to four support groups for young moms and dads.

“Adoption is always something to think about and there are many options,” Wilgus said. “We work together with an agency to create a healthy family unit.”

The four support programs for parents include how to be a good dad and partner, mothers who are trying to beat addiction, young mothers on the shore, and young mothers of the lower shore.

Post-abortion counseling services, life coaching, childbirth classes, inhome visits and GED testing services are also available for young mothers.

By working on their GED or attending informational meetings, parents can earn “mommy or daddy dollars” to use in Gracie’s in-house boutique, which is full of clothes and other necessities to raise a child, or at the Shirley Grace Thrift Shop in Frankford, Delaware. “[The center stresses] anything where she is empowering or bettering herself,” Wilgus said. “As she invests in herself, we give back. It’s unexpected that anything she will do will light the world on fire. We help change that. You become a better person when you invest and work for something.”

The Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center opened its doors in September of 2010 after Mari Burton (formerly Quillen) found out her daughter had a brain malformation during a routine ultrasound and that she had a 3 percent chance of living through the delivery.

Shirley Grace survived brain surgery and came home to the shore to meet her big brother, before passing away at just three weeks old.

‘Our mission is to educate, equip and empower women by valuing all lives.’

Lisa Wilgus, executive director of the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center ing her daughter was the final push Burton needed to open the pregnancy center and begin supporting women in the area.

Wilgus was working at the Clarion Hotel in Ocean City when a phone call from Burton was transferred to her desk during the summer of 2011.

“I felt some energy inside me and it made me think I was supposed to help,” Wilgus said. “We met and had breakfast and I felt the need to tell her my story.

No one knew but my family. We became friends and I knew I had to help her be successful.”

After helping plan three banquets,

Burton asked Wilgus to think about taking over the pregnancy center after she fell in love with a man from Houston and decided to move away.

“She said, ‘I would like you to think and pray [about the decision],’” Wilgus said. “I began an evolution in my own life.”

Wilgus realized she has value, worth and dignity – exactly what the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center embraces and tries to instill in the young women it helps every day.

“I am still growing as a woman and have so much more to learn,” she said.

Wilgus said the life lessons and hard times shaped her into the compassionate person she is today. It also made her realize everyone deserves to have a story.

“Who am I to say good won’t come from that? I am living proof it does. Being a part of that story and seeing the power of transformation that can take place in a woman’s life [is a powerful experience],” Wilgus said. “If one person can believe they have beauty, I am done and that’s how I want to be remembered – making a difference in their life – helping to heal them. I am very proud of what we do here.”

Wilgus said no one took the time to walk her through her options after she became pregnant, which led to traumatic experiences, but also gave her the passion she has for her job.

“I was up against the wall. What will people think of me? Those people gave me the fire in my soul to fight for women,” Wilgus said. “It created the empathy, passion and fire to prepare me for this. I think it was all worth it.”

Bruce Jackson, 56, of Snow Hill, will spend the next four years in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of felon in possession of a gun on April 21 in Worcester County Circuit Court in Snow Hill.

On Oct. 15, 2016 Snow Hill Police responded to a reported domestic assault involving Jackson and his 38year-old girlfriend at a residence on Greenbrier Court.

Police said Jackson had physically assaulted the female acquaintance and threatened her with a 20-gauge shotgun.

In exchange for his plea, the state dropped nine other charges against Jackson, including first and seconddegree assault, reckless endangerment, as well as use of a firearm during a violent crime.

Jackson was sentenced to seven years in the Department of Corrections with all but four suspended.

Police charged a local man with screaming at pedestrians and drinking a beer in a public parking lot on May 9.

Ocean City Police were called to South Atlantic Avenue around 8 a.m. for a report of a man yelling at pedestrians. The man was later identified as 63-year-old Raymond Smith.

The report said that when officers

arrived, Smith was standing in a city parking lot and screaming “f*** Ocean City, I just f***ing woke up.”

Police could not understand other phrases Smith was yelling because of his slurred speech, the charging documents said.

Police said they saw an open can of Natty Daddy beer on the ground at Smith’s feet. When asked why he was screaming, Smith said that he just woke up and had spilled his beer, the report said.

Assault A Middle River, Maryland woman was arrested for allegedly hitting someone in the head with a pool cue and stealing her money on May 6.

Ocean City Police were called to a downtown hotel for suspicious activity around 10:50 p.m. When they arrived, they interviewed a woman who said she confronted her friend, 31-year-old Krista M. Fox. The woman told police that Fox was supposed to be babysitting her two children earlier that evening in the hotel room.

When calls to Fox’s rooms were unanswered, the mother said she immediately went to the hotel room. She found neither Fox nor her children in the room. The towel rack in the bathroom was torn from the wall, the report said.

The mother started to search the hotel and found her children near the hotel elevator, with Fox nowhere in sight, the report stated. The children later told her that Fox had broken the towel rack.

When Fox eventually came up on the elevator with a pool cue in hand, the two argued. The mother told police Fox charged at her.

The mother went to her hotel room, followed by Fox, and continued arguing. When a hotel employee entered the room to tell the two to quiet down, Fox allegedly threw the pool cue at her. Fox then grabbed her things from the hotel room and left.

The mother also said that the hotel safe containing her $200 was opened and the money was gone.

Police found Fox in the hotel’s bar shortly after. She was charged with second degree assault, stealing $200, and destruction of property.

Disorderly conduct Officers arrested a 22-year-old man for drunken disorderly after screaming early hours on May 6.

Ocean City Police were called to assist with an eviction at a hotel at 45th Street around 5 a.m. for noise complaints. When they arrived, Kevin Juarez was screaming in protest, according to the report. Juarez reportedly ignored repeated requests to quiet down, and police said he smelled of alcohol.

DUIs Between May 6 and May 8, Ocean City officers made several arrests for driving under the influence.

said ‘Ocean City is a great place, and it was great when you got here. You need to make it better than what it is now and give back to the community.’

That’s what all of you are doing … all your hard work makes this great place even better.”

Highlights of OCDC’s year include continuing the Façade Improvement Program, which has helped business owners renovate their properties.

Since 2002, the program has $5.7 million in private investment and completed 189 buildings. Nine more projects are underway.

“We’re going to hit our 200th [project] this year, and that’s a big accomplishment we should be proud of,” Trimper said.

He also reported that the Green Building Initiative Program, which provides funding for businesses to install energy-efficient improvements, completed seven new projects. That brings the total to 40 projects to date, resulting in $732,000 of private investment.

The nonprofit also received four grants, amounting to $215,000, from the Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development. Trimper added that OCDC is continuing to work with businesses to replace old buildings with new multi-use facilities through its strategic demolition program.

In one of its smaller projects, the Business Assistance Program, OCDC also assisted four businesses with interior renovations or expansions in 2016. Since this program started, 16 projects have been completed, resulting in $1.2 million of investment.

“That’s a lot for these projects that had just gotten off the ground,” Trimper said.

OCDC also continued working with Ocean City’s special event staff and other organizations to offer free music events at Sunset Park during the summer. The Shorecraft Beer Festival is another popular event born out of partnership with the city and Shorecraft Beer. Last year’s festival drew 800 people, 200 more than in the previous year.

Trimper announced that the OCDC Boardwalk Committee and Design Committee continued to review outdoor display permits and proposed building plans.

He also thanked Laura Mears and Lauren Taylor for their work on installing the “Dance of the Dolphins” sculpture at the foot of the Route 90 bridge.

“It turned out to be very beautiful.

Now one of the major gateways to Ocean City has something that OCDC can hang its hat on,” Trimper said.

Groundbreaking ceremony slated for St. Paul’s, Sat.

(May 12, 2017) St. Paul’s by-theSea Episcopal Church will conduct a groundbreaking ceremony for its building expansion on Saturday, May 13 at 11 a.m.

The ceremony will be presided over

by The Right Reverend Santosh K. Marray, the Bishop of Easton, and the Reverend Matthew D’Amario, Rector of St. Paul’s by-the-Sea. The ceremony marks the final stage of the reconstruction of the Ocean City church at 302 North Baltimore Avenue, following the devastating fire in 2013.

Based on the plans prepared by the Becker Morgan Group, the scope of work includes the construction of a two-story addition of approximately 2,300 square feet of usable space that replaces space lost from the destruction of the parish offices, and the addition of an accessible restroom in Dewees Hall, the parish’s community hall. Gillis Gilkerson of Salisbury is the general contractor for the project.

“The custom of the church is to dedicate every new construction to almighty God and pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead, sustain and bring this project to completion” Marray said. He added the reconstruction effort is “an evangelical witness to the community we serve.”

RENDERING COURTESY OF BECKER MORGAN GROUP

St. Paul’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, located at 302 North Baltimore Avenue, will conduct a groundbreaking ceremony for its building expansion on Saturday, May 13 at 11 a.m.

The addition to the north side of the church will require the demolition of the temporary enclosure of the church built after the fire. The use of the sanctuary for worship services will be unavailable after May 14. The project is scheduled for completion by Dec. 15.

“The Vestry and the parish leader-

ship have shown great vision and determination by moving ahead with this construction,” D’Amario said.

D’Amario also indicated that plans are underway to conduct services in Dewees Hall during construction.

The addition to the church will replace the rectory that was destroyed in a fire on Nov. 26, 2013 that claimed

two lives including that of Reverend David Dingwall, the rector of the church. Donations for the building project may be made to the church’s Building Recovery Fund at 302 North Baltimore Avenue, Ocean City, Maryland 21842.

For more information, contact Rev. D’Amario at 410-289-3453.

SD tennis players ready for districts

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

(Left) Stephen Decatur freshman Sierra Eisemann steals second base during Monday’s game against Washington in Berlin. She stole six during the game and broke the state softball record for stolen bases in a single season. The previous record was 44. She now has 46. Eisemann is pictured with Decatur Assistant Coach Cheryl Harte.

Eisemann breaks Md. softball record for stolen bases

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Stephen Decatur softball team not only won its last game of the regular season 8-2 over the Washington Jaguars on Monday, but freshman Sierra Eisemann also broke the high school state record for stolen bases in a single season.

“It’s really exciting,” Eisemann said.

She had 40 stolen bases going into Monday’s game against Washington in Berlin. She finished the competition with six stolen bases to break the Maryland Public Schools softball record by two. The previous record of 44 was held by Michelle Lloyd of Crossland High School (2001).

Eisemann said setting the record was a big accomplishment, especially to do it as a freshman.

“I like to steal bases because it maximizes my speed and it’s a way of being aggressive,” she said.

“I think people are awakened to her speed and knowing that she’s somebody to be reckoned with,” Decatur Coach Heather Patnode said. “She started out in the outfield then we moved her to second and she’s been making some great plays at second. If we get her on base she’s stealing, and she’s been great at it.”

Eisemann hopes to finish the season with at least 50 stolen bases.

“I just want to keep going,” she said.

By the end of her four years, her goal is to break the softball state career stolen bases record, held by Chrissy Gavin of Atholton High School (1992-95).

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Stephen Decatur senior Gina Arrivello swings away during Monday’s game against Washington in Berlin. Decatur won 8-2.

Washington got on the board first Monday, scoring two runs in the top of the first. Decatur answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning.

“I think that the first inning started off a little rough. We had four errors in the first inning, but then we came back and scored two runs and then continued to hit and make great plays,” Patnode said.

The Lady Seahawks went ahead 32 in the third and increased their advantage to 6-2 in the fourth. They added one run in the fifth and one in the sixth to go up 8-2.

“Senior Night, breaking records, I think that’s a good way to go into the playoffs with a positive win,” Patnode said.

Eisemann went 4-for-4 (singles), with six stolen bases and two RBIs. She scored twice. Freshman Amber Whittaker was 1-for-3 (double) with

one run scored.

Sophomore Alexis Black struck out nine, allowed three hits and walked two Jaguars in seven innings.

“Lexi had 14 of the 21 outs. She had nine strikeouts and then the rest were ground balls to her,” Patnode said.

“She did an awesome job.”

Decatur (8-9) received the No. 5 seed in the 3A East Region Section II bracket. The Seahawks are scheduled to play the No. 4 Hammond Golden Bears, today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Columbia. The winner will play the topseeded Chesapeake-AA Cougars on Monday in Pasadena.

“We’re young. We’re still making a lot of silly mistakes, but I think with [the Washington] game, it’s going to help us be more positive and aware of our mistakes to go into playoffs and come out with a positive ending,” Patnode said.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) Eight Stephen Decatur tennis players will participate in the District VIII tournament, scheduled for Tuesday, May 16 and Wednesday, May 17, in Cambridge.

Junior Laila Mirza will compete in the girls’ singles division, while sophomore Jonathan Petito battles in the boys’ singles tournament. Petito is seeded eighth and Mirza 13th.

Sophomore Grace Beres and senior Megan McConnell will team up for doubles action. They are seeded 13th.

On the boys’ side, senior captain Brennan Holloway and sophomore Trevor Hayes will pair up for doubles competition. They received the No. 14 seed.

Senior captains Kat Harrell and Josh Domingo will come together for mixed doubles during the district tournament. They are seeded 11th.

This is Domingo’s third District VIII tournament appearance. Mirza and Harrell have participated in the event twice. Everyone else will make their tournament debut.

Decatur coaches Jamie Greenwood and Steve Berquist said they are expecting some stiff competition.

“We finished the season incredible.

We’re playing well going into districts,” Berquist said of the Decatur boys. “I’m excited about where we are going into the tournament.”

Berquist said Domingo is playing the best tennis he has all season right now.

“Josh is a strong player, Kat is a strong player, they’re both seniors,” Greenwood added. “I’m hoping they really come together.”

Berquist is pleased with Petito’s seed and confident he can win his first match. Greenwood said Mirza will have a tough first round, but she is playing well.

Hayes has been the most improved player on the boys’ squad this season, Berquist said. He paired Holloway with Hayes because he has experience and provides senior leadership.

“I think [Holloway] will be able to get the most out of [Hayes],” Berquist said.

“They work well together on the court.”

Greenwood said Beres and McConnell have experience playing together, which bodes well for the tournament.

For the Seahawks to be successful, Berquist said they must be prepared to play best-two-out-of-three matches.

During the season, they play a single eight-game pro set each competition.

“I think we can win some firstround matches. They need to be prepared to grind it out a little longer than they’re used to,” he said.

WP girls’ lax team ready to face STPP for championship

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Worcester Prep and Cape Henlopen girls’ lacrosse teams battled in Lewes, Delaware on Monday, with the home team edging out the visiting Lady Mallards, 6-5.

Worcester built a 3-1 lead in the first half, but the Vikings tied it up before halftime.

The Mallard trailed 5-4, but senior Karlie Southcomb evened the score with 26 seconds remaining in the game.

“They got the draw, came down and charged and scored with 15 seconds left.

We couldn’t get it back fast enough in the last 15 seconds,” Prep Coach Brooke Hahn said.

Despite the loss, Hahn was pleased with the Mallards’ performance.

“I was so proud of how they played.

We had possession of the ball for probably 80 percent of the game. We just couldn’t get a lot of our shots past the goalie,” Hahn said. “Defense was amazing. They showed so much heart and determination. It’s just hard that it had to end like that.”

Southcomb and senior captain Leigh Lingo had two goals each. Freshman Carly Hoffman netted one. Junior goalie Sophia Bandorick made nine saves.

Top-seeded Worcester will host the No. 2 Saints Peter & Paul Sabres today,

Friday, at 4 p.m. for the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship match. It will be the third time the teams have gone head-tohead this season. Worcester won the first meeting 17-8 on March 24 in Berlin. On April 11 in Easton, Saints Peter & Paul came out on top, 11-9.

“Some of the reasons for the loss in the second game were minimum draw controls, poor shot placement and the extreme heat that day kept us from being able to keep up in the midfield,” Hahn said. “We know exactly what we need to do on Friday and we can’t wait.”

Worcester also played without Lingo in the second match because she was sidelined with a sprained ankle.

“The team is so ready for the championship. They played the way we knew they could all year [against Cape] and they’re really prepared for Friday,” Hahn said. “We need to do exactly what we did [against Cape] to win, but with more shot completions.”

In the past five title games, Worcester has outscored STPP 74-43. The Mallards won the ESIAC title the last four years. In 2012, STPP edged out the Prep team, 9-8. In 2013, the Mallards came out on top, 20-5. In 2014, Worcester earned a 14-8 victory. In 2015, the Prep team won 16-9. The Mallards captured the 2016 title by a score of 16-12.

Stephen Decatur senior Brice Messick allowed one hit and struck out two batters in the 1.1 innings he pitched during Monday’s game against Washington in Berlin. Decatur won 19-0.

SD baseball squad wraps up regular season with 19-0 win

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Stephen Decatur baseball team finished the regular season on Monday, shutting out the Washington Jaguars 19-0 in five innings on its home field in Berlin.

“We threw strikes, we played good defense and we put the ball in play,” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said. “We made them play defense. We put the pressure on them, scored when we needed to [and] got some big hits. Overall, we just threw strikes and that was huge.”

Decatur scored five runs in the first inning, two in the second, eight in the third and four in the fourth. The Seahawks tallied 13 hits in the game. Senior Jake Shockley had three hits and three RBIs. Junior Stephen Bontempo and senior Wyatt Church chipped in with two hits and two RBIs apiece.

Senior Will Sass started on the mound for Decatur. He struck out one in 2.1 innings. Senior Brice Messick allowed one hit and struck out two batters in 1.1 innings. Junior Shea Griffin finished the game, throwing 1.1 innings.

He struck out three batters and walked two.

“They were confident. A lot of these

guys have been around for a little bit and they played it as just another game, but they knew there was stuff riding on it,” Ferro said. “Coming out here and having to win to win the Bayside South [Conference] that put a little pressure on the guys, but we came out and we threw strikes and once we did that I thought we felt pretty comfortable.

“We had some good swings. It was nice to get everyone in and get that Bayside South title,” he added.

Decatur represented the Bayside South in the conference championship on Tuesday in Salisbury. The Seahawks lost 6-0 to the top Bayside North team, the Saint Michaels Saints.

Decatur (11-8) received the No. 2 seed in the 3A East Region Section II bracket. The Seahawks will host either the No. 3 James M. Bennett Clippers or the No. 6 Northeast-AA Eagles on Saturday at 11 a.m. (weather permitting).

Those two squads were scheduled to play yesterday, Thursday.

“I think we’re getting better,” Ferro said. “We’re just preaching to use the whole field when hitting, pitch, play defense and hopefully stay together and keep a positive attitude – not too high not too low – and get some Ws.”

Lady Seahawks fall to Lions, but play well, Braniecki says

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team hoped to capture its third consecutive Bayside Conference championship title, but the Lady Seahawks came up a bit short, losing 9-8 in double overtime to the Queen Anne’s Lions on Monday in Salisbury.

Despite the loss, Decatur Coach

Sara Braniecki thought the Seahawks performed well.

“The girls played great. They really worked together well and supported each other on the field,” she said. “They trusted each other and played as a unit.”

Decatur led 4-3 at halftime. Queen Anne’s tied the game at 4-all with about 20 seconds into the second half. The Lions then held a one-toSee PERFORMANCE Page 45

Performance gives SD momentum for playoffs Continued from Page 44 two-goal lead throughout.

Trailing 8-7, Decatur senior Victoria Kerkovich scored with about three minutes remaining in the game.

“The end of the game took serious discipline. Queen Anne’s called a timeout while they possessed the ball,” Braniecki said. “We knew they would come out with a plan to get a good shot off. I gave the girls a plan to execute immediately and they did it perfectly and caused Queen Anne’s to turn the ball over, helping us take the game into overtime.

“I was very proud of them for listening and executing it perfectly,” she continued. “That’s not easy to do under such high pressure.”

Tied 8-8, the game went into overtime. The Lions netted a shot in the second extra period to captured the Bayside title.

Kerkovich led Decatur with four goals. Senior captains Lexie VanKirk and Claire Porter, and fellow seniors Brigitte Ardis and Logan Figgs, scored one goal each. Porter and VanKirk also had two assists apiece.

Decatur senior goalie Sara Mitre-

cic, a team captain, stopped six Queen Anne’s shots.

“Although we didn’t come up with a ‘W,’ they played great and I think it will give us some momentum going into playoffs,” Braniecki said. “When you’re so close to a big win, it’s a good time to look at all of the little things that you are not doing perfectly and focus on them so that they give us an advantage in the future. We’ll be working on all of those little things.”

The Seahawks are 9-4 going into playoffs. They received the No. 2 seed in the 3A/2A East Region Section I

bracket and a first-round bye.

“We ended with the same record overall as Kent Island, but since they won when we went head-to-head, they were seeded above us,” Braniecki said.

Decatur is slated to host the No. 3 Easton Warriors today, Friday, at 6 p.m.

“We have some offensive things to work out and we need to work on some situational challenges that we may be faced with,” Braniecki said Tuesday. “We’ll be practicing hard this week to get ready for Friday, then take it game by game after that.”

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Worcester Prep freshman Sam Tinkler fights off an aggressive Bishop McNamara player during Monday’s Metro Independent Lacrosse League quarterfinals in Berlin. Worcester won 17-1.

WP boys’ lax team to battle Gunston for ESIAC trophy

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team outscored the Bishop McNamara Mustangs 17-1 on Monday in the Metro Independent Lacrosse League quarterfinals.

“I was happy. I thought we played well,” said Prep Coach Kevin Gates.

“We made some good plays and we moved the ball well.”

The Mallards led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter on their home field in Berlin. At halftime, Worcester was on top 12-1. By the third quarter the Prep squad had built a 14-1 advantage.

Sophomore Jay Gosnear and senior captain Patrick Petrera had three goals each. Senior Owen Nally and sophomores Thomas Fager and Dakin Moore tallied two goals apiece.

Junior goalie Jack Fager recorded two saves.

The next day, the Mallards faced tougher competition when the Calverton

Cougars came to Berlin for the MILL semifinals. The visiting squad won 20-10.

“They were good. We just ran into a buzz saw,” Gates said. “I was proud of my guys. They never gave up. It was a great effort.”

Junior captain Sam Cantello led Worcester with four goals and an assist.

Petrera had two goals. Senior goalie Rayne Parker stopped 11 Calverton shots.

Worcester also competes in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference. The Gunston Day Herons are scheduled to travel to Berlin today, Friday, to battle the Mallards for the ESIAC championship title at 3:30 p.m.

The two teams have met twice this season. Worcester won the first game 17-3 and the second 13-9.

“We’ll use [the Calverton game] for fuel for our fire on Friday,” Gates said.

“I expect them to bring their ‘A’ game and I expect us to bring our ‘A’ game. If we bring the same effort as we did [Tuesday], I think we’ll be OK.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Worcester Prep tennis teams won their final matches of the regular season this week.

The Prep squads took a trip to Pocomoke on Monday to face the Warriors. Both Worcester teams won 7-0. The first singles and doubles matches were two six-game sets while the rest were one eight-game pro Cyndee Hudson sets.

The girls’ team was missing several of its starters, so players were moved up in the line-up. They were successful.

Freshman Abi Plylar’s first set went into Terry Underkoffler a tiebreaker, which she won 8-6. She took the second set 6-2.

“It was just keeping the ball in play and letting the other girl make mistakes,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said. “She’s used to playing a lot. I think Abi was a bit more conditioned.”

Sophomore Maya Natson (8-0), senior Lauren Meoli (8-2) and junior Sammy Wolpin (8-0) earned victories at second through fourth singles, respectively.

Playing together for the first time, senior captain Stormy McGuiness and junior Hope Sens took their first doubles match 6-3, 7-5.

Stormy McGuiness and senior captain Eva Parks, and Saylor McGuiness and Cammack will take the court for doubles action.

The boys’ ESIAC tournament will consist of teams for Worcester, Gunston and Salisbury School.

Anthony and Pizza will compete in the singles division. Maull will team up with Miller for doubles competition as will Z. Wilson and Todd.

Big victory over Parkside energizes Decatur After defeating Rams, 11-8, Seahawks edge out Easton Warriors, 14-12, in playoffs

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 12, 2017) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team won its final game of the regular season, 11-8 over the Parkside Rams last Friday in Berlin.

The Seahawks used that momentum during the first round of the 3A/2A East Region tournament, edging out the Easton Warriors, 14-12, on Wednesday.

“It was good for the seniors on Senior Night. They were fired up and it was a great Senior Night,” Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum said after last Friday’s competition. “It was a good team win.

They pushed each other. It was a nice way to end the season. If we play like that, we can beat teams [in the playoffs].”

Parkside led 6-2 at halftime. During

the break, the Decatur squad discussed how to turn things around in the second half.

“We couldn’t put away our shots and we couldn’t get the shots we wanted,” Lathroum said. “I told them ‘it’s time to test this goalie. Rip a few shots from further out.’”

Both teams scored one goal in the third quarter.

Before taking the Scott Lathroum field to start the fourth quarter, Lathroum told his players that “we’ve got to get this thing rolling.”

They heard what he said and netted eight goals in the final quarter.

“We lit it up in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, we started winning face-offs and playing good defense,” Lathroum said. “We started scoring goals and good things happened.”

When the Seahawks pulled ahead 9-8, Lathroum encouraged them to

Sophomore Chase Porter chipped in with one goal.

Senior goalie Zac Cioccio recorded 11 saves.

“Zac made some really good saves in the third and fourth quarters, which sparked us also,” Lathroum said. “Defense doubled all over the field. They really played hard. I always say it starts on the defensive end.”

The Seahawks were on a high after the game. They finished the regular season with a 5-7 record.

“We have confidence and they should. We keep getting better and better,” Lathroum said. “The motor’s running 100 MPH. There’s a lot of energy.

Easton led 3-2 at the end first quarter. Decatur battled back in the second quarter and at halftime, the visitors had a 9-8 advantage.

The Stephen Decatur High School unified bocce ball team won the gold medal during the district tournament on May 4 in Fruitland. The state championship will take place on May 18 inside the football stadium at Washington College.

Decatur unified bocce ball team takes home gold medal

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) The Stephen Decatur High School unified bocce ball team won the gold medal during the district tournament, held May 4 in Fruitland.

“The team played well and it came down to a tiebreaker frame,” Coach Keith Hall said. “We are looking forward to seeing what we can do at states.”

Students in the Division 3 District competed against teams from Worcester, Wicomico, Talbot, Somerset and Dorchester counties in Maryland before taking home a gold medal.

For those unfamiliar with the sport, there are four players to a team. By rolling or bouncing four colored balls, the object of the game is for one or more of the four balls to be closer than all opponents’ balls to the pallina, or small white target ball.

The first team to score 16 points or have the most in 30 minutes wins the

game. During competitions, teams play in a best-out-of-three game format.

“It is similar to curling, but with bocce the target moves,” Hall said.

“There is a lot of luck and strategy involved. The kids have so much fun and enjoy the friendly competition.”

The state championship will take place on May 18 inside the football stadium at Washington College.

Last year, Decatur students also won a gold medal at districts and took home the bronze during the state championship.

Bocce ball is an ancient sport, which originated in the Roman Empire and is now played anywhere from backyards to on the beach, to international competitions in many countries.

“It’s a strategic sport, competitive and a skill game,” Coach Lauren Dorman said. “It is also fun to try and knock the other person’s ball. It is a cardiovascular workout, but you have to think at the same time.”

Watch Me Grow celebrates recent opening this Sat.

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 12, 2017) Watch Me Grow, a new early learning center in Berlin on 9040 Worcester Highway, Suite E, behind Pitt Stop Beer and Wine, will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday.

The free event, 1-4 p.m., will include moon bounces and children’s crafts and snacks. Lollipop the Clown will offer face painting and balloon art from 1:30-3 p.m. and horse rides will be available from 3-4 p.m.

Shaved ice treats from the Tiki Hut will be available for sale.

Owner Allison Stokely operated the Tiny Sunflowers Daycare center out of her home for 12 years, but decided to close to devote more time to her two young children, Aleesi, 3, and Landon, 20 months.

“My son is severely high maintenance,” she said with a laugh. “I couldn’t do the hours anymore. It just got to be too much with two little ones at home.”

Instead, Stokely will offer specialized summer programs at the new center that focus on getting children, ages 2 and up, getting ready for school through fun and activities.

Classes, lasting just under two hours each, will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays.

“Nowadays with daycare, the kids need to know their alphabet and they need to be able to count and need to be able to write their names and tie their shoes, all before they get to kindergarten or preschool,” Stokely said.

“That’s just too much. I’m seeing more and more kids having more and more difficulty doing what you’re supposed to do in school. By the time they hit second or third grade they’re tired of it because they have to start [school] at 2 or 3.”

Stokely said her daughter went to the Children’s Book Garden, near Ocean Pines over the summer and “they just did wonders with her.”

story time. They sang. They danced.

And that’s the only place around here that’s really doing anything like that,” Stokely said. “I was trying to put something near the Town of Berlin to serve the Buckingham and the Worcester Prep area because there’s not a lot around here.”

Children will not do much “paper pushing” at Watch Me Grow, Stokely said. Classes each month will have a theme, starting with “Camping Underneath the Stars” in June.

“There will be an activity set up for them as they arrive in the morning, and then we’ll have a circle time with a morning exercise and a little song, and then they’ll get to do a group activity and a craft,” Stokely said. “My goal is that every day they leave with something that’s handmade.”

Classes will also include story time and a snack, as well as a free-play session during the last 15 minutes.

The classroom has dozens of different things for small children to play and interact with, geared especially toward early learning and de-

velopment. Several hand-painted murals adorn the walls, along with a sizable bookshelf filled with Dr. Seuss and other children’s classics.

The idea, Stokely said, is to keep the little ones busy.

“Kids really learn more by playing than by you constantly pushing papers and pencils and crayons,” Stokely said.

“By the time the kids get to school, they’re so worn out that they don’t care to learn anything. Kids aren’t being able to be kids anymore – that’s why there are so many learning disabilities and behavior problems. I think they’re pushing it too much.”

Classes are offered every day in May, except Sundays. Watch Me Grow is also offering a six-week cake and cupcake decorating class starting on June 7. The class, $90 in advance or $100 on the first day, runs Tuesday nights from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and will include basic technique and lessons in making homemade icing.

The Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) designation indicates an organization’s commitment to elder care excellence.

It signals the dedication to providing patient-centered care for older adult patients.

Through participation in the NICHE program — a leading elder care nursing program — Atlantic General Hospital is able to offer evidencebased, interdisciplinary approaches that promote better outcomes, positive experiences and improved care for older adults.

“We are proud to have earned the NICHE designation and believe it is proof that our commitment to quality, patient-centered care reaches all patients, especially the growing elder population.”

Atlantic General Hospital is incorporating the NICHE principles into the

planning for the redesign of its inpatient care areas, which is being funded in part through the hospital’s Campaign for the Future.

These efforts include geriatric sensitivity training for staff, an aromatherapy program to promote rest, access to outdoor spaces for patients and families, designated spaces that promote earlier and safe mobility, and the addition of spaces that meet the needs of older adults, including work environments as more of the hospital’s associates are working past the age of 65.

Several of the NICHE designation recommendations are already in place including registration kiosks, telemedicine care, the PERKS patient portal, private rooms for all inpatients, and a provider who specializes in gerontology, Craig Johnson, PA. “Atlantic General Hospital shows a tremendous commitment to meet the most critical challenge of our times quality care of older adults,” said Mattia J.

About 300 people registered for the 2016 North Worcester County Relay For Life event, held at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin last year.

The event was originally scheduled to take place at Frontier Town Campground in Berlin, but because of rain forecasted it was moved to the school.

Because of forecasted rain again this year, the 2017 event will also be held at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin, beginning at 6 p.m.

ACS’s Relay For Life at Decatur MS

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) An abundance of activities are on tap for the participants who will gather at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin, Friday, May 12, for the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life.

Because of rain forecasted, organizers moved the event indoors from the Frontier Town Campground in Berlin.

The 2017 North Worcester County Relay For Life kicks off at 6 p.m. to celebrate survivors beating cancer, remember loved ones who lost their battle and offer support for people who are currently fighting the disease.

“People should attend because it will take our community as a team to eradicate cancer in our lifetime,” said Dawn Hodge, event chairwoman. “The American Cancer Society is No. 2 in the nation, only behind the National Institute of Health, in funding of cancer research. The funding comes from community events such as Relay For Life, which is the signature fundraising event of the American Cancer Society.”

The theme for this year’s celebration is “Carnival of Hope.”

“Our event is always family-friendly and will have a lot of fun activities for kids while also providing fun for adults too,” Hodge said. “This event is special because it is a great opportunity to spend quality time with others in our community who are fighting against cancer.”

All members will decorate their campsites using bright, carnival colors,

in addition to creating games for attendees to play.

“They can easily use the games to fundraise and still incorporate the American Cancer Society’s mission on health initiatives by having posters displayed or using the information in their games and decorations,” Hodge said.

Individuals and teams can register at the event starting at 4 p.m., and there is no fee to participate.

This year, 40 teams with 300 participants are expected to participate.

Relay For Life will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and continue until midnight on Saturday.

The goal for 2017 is to have 130 survivors in attendance and to generate $175,000 for the American Cancer Society. Approximately $77,164 had been raised as of Monday, Hodge said.

“Once Relay For Life gets in your blood, you are hooked,” Hodge said.

“We are always looking for new participants. More people are drawn to Relay For Life each year, which is great, but it is also a sign of how cancer is prevalent in our community and touches more people every year.”

Participants have until the end of August to submit their final donations.

During the six-hour fundraiser, team members will take turns walking laps and organizers strive for each team to have at least one member taking a lap throughout the night.

Participants will each receive a carnival ticket, which can be marked at each visited campsite and could win the person a grand prize, which will be

given away during the midnight closing ceremonies. Winners must be present.

In 2016, 45 teams and 316 registered participants, came out to Relay For Life, helping to raise about $165,500 for the organization.

Throughout the past 19 years, North Worcester County’s Relay has donated more than $1 million to the American Cancer Society. ”The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is a fundraising event for education, patient services, advocacy and research for all cancers,” Hodge said. “All of these issues affect our community. The money we raise through Relay For Life ensures that these lifesaving initiatives will continue to be provided in Worcester County.”

Relay For Life’s 2017 opening ceremony kicks off at 6 p.m. Cancer survivors will walk the ceremonial first lap of the night, the “Survivors Lap,” while they are cheered on by other participants in celebration of their victory over cancer.

Survivors will be joined by their caregivers for the second lap of the evening. In honor of Mother’s Day, the third lap is designated to moms.

A reception for cancer survivors hosted by Atlantic General Hospital Regional Cancer Care Center will take place at 6:35 p.m. after the first couple of laps, Dr. Roopa Gupta will speak and DJ Brian K. Hall from the Vault will spin the tunes.

Next, sponsor teams will display their company logos and banners beSee RELAY Page 54

I feel as if I’ve worked at Seacrets for so long everything is second nature. Last week was extremely busy for dinner, and I don’t think customers realize there are eight servers coming out of one service bar. So besides waiting for drinks, your server is waiting for drinks to deliver to multiple tables with the rest of their co-workers.

At any given moment, I could have two tables that want to close out, three tables that need drink refills, one table that asks for a side of ranch, another that needs a togo box and one that doesn’t like their drink so they send it back.

Please be patient and kind when dining at the bars and restaurants below. We all want you to have an enjoyable dining experience.

MAY 12, 2017

HOROSCOPE ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Accept that sometimes things will not go your way, Aries. However, you can learn to adapt and find balance in any situation you find yourself in.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Discovering all of the answers need not be your goal all the time, Taurus. Keep in mind that the journey can sometimes be more rewarding than the destination.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, don’t hesitate to let others know how much they mean to you.

Such simple gestures will be appreciated and help you maintain strong relationships with those you love most.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, when in doubt, speak with someone who has more experience than you. It’s a big person who can accept help when it’s needed, and others will be willing to help.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Next week may be a better time to make a big decision, Leo. Coast along for a little bit longer and get a feel for the lay of the land before making your decision.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Coming across memorabilia or old photographs may have you thinking about those who came before you, Virgo. It is a good week for introspection and reminiscing.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, don’t let any opportunity pass you by this week — even those that may seem like they won’t yield much reward. Everything is a learning opportunity.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Obsessive thoughts will not make the solution to a problem come any easier. It’s better if you clear your head and then maybe the ideas will arrive when you least expect.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Think of something you can do that will be a big risk and out of character, Sagittarius. It may give you a rush of adrenaline this week and pave the way for new interests.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way. You are the only one who can derail your plans.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Someone you wouldn’t normally look to for advice provides some invaluable wisdom in the days ahead, Aquarius. Heed this advice and express your gratitude.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, instead of focusing on all of the little details, look at the bigger picture. This will prove to be the inspiration you need to stay motivated.

By Morgan Pilz Intern (May 12, 2017) We love our mothers. They raised us, fed us, clothed us, loved us, and made us feel special and cared for.

With Mother’s Day taking place on Sunday, what better way to show our mothers how much they mean to us on that special day then to bring them to Ocean City’s first Winecation event.

Presented by the State Association of Liquor License Establishments (SALLE), event organizer Eric Chaplin decided to make the event about wine after asking multiple mothers what they would want for Mother’s Day. “They say that they want to have some time to themselves, and wine,” he said.

But this event is not just about mothers and wine. Winecation also focuses on advocating six special causes.

Six types of wines will be set up at six tables, each table representing one wine and a different cause: White Zinfandel - breast cancer, Merlot - heart disease, Proseco - domestic violence, Sauvignon Blanc - Cystinosis, Chardonnay - leukemia and Moscato - Cystic Fibrosis.

After tasting, participants will have the option to purchase their favorite wine by the glass or a bottle. A portion

While participants sample the different wines, local band Over Time will play, and a selection of finger foods, an assortment of cheeses and crackers, desserts, and food provided

by Boneyard BBQ will be available as well.

“It is about giving back to the community,” Chaplin said. “The purpose of Mother’s Day Winecation is to offer an enjoyable time while supporting good causes. If you are a mother, have a mother, or know a mother, then you have a reason to attend.”

Mother’s Day Winecation will take place on Sunday, May 14 from 1-5 p.m. at Sunset Park in downtown Ocean City (located next to the Coast Guard Station).

For $30, people can bring their mothers down to sample wines, food, and listen to music, all while supporting great charities and causes. Participants will receive wine sampling tickets and souvenir sampling glasses.

Second annual Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run/walk, Sat.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 12, 2017) Protecting against tickrelated illnesses and providing information to those affected are important to the organizers of the second annual Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run and walk, taking place on the Boardwalk Saturday morning.

“Ocean City’s Boardwalk is the best place on the planet to run or walk in a 5K,” said organizer Angela Burke. “The gorgeous view and moderate temperatures are unmatched.”

Registration will begin on Saturday at 8 a.m. where interested runners and walkers can sign up for $34, which includes a race bib for timing, Lyme disease prevention information, a post-race snack and drink ticket. In addition, the first 200 participants will also receive a long sleeve T-shirt.

The race will begin at 9 a.m. at the inlet parking lot, where participants will head north on the Boardwalk and turn around between 15th and 16th streets before returning to the finish line at the inlet.

There will be an awards ceremony immediately following the race with cash prizes going to the fastest male and female. A number of age-group winners will also receive medals.

New this year, a post-race party will take place at the Cork Bar on Wicomico Street and each participant will receive a free drink. There will also be discounts

on food and drinks for participants and their supporters.

Attendees can bid on a number of auction items including golf gear, spa treatments, wine, candy and jewelry.

A little over a year ago, Burke formed the nonprofit organization, “Fight the Bite,” which raises awareness through a website and collects funds to utilize billboards in the area.

“This event is special in that all proceeds benefit ‘Fight the Bite,’ a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to educating the public about preventing tick-related illnesses,” Burke said. “We work closely with the Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva, which provides support groups and educational materials to the community.”

Last year, a couple hundred people participated in the inaugural event.

“Besides a 5K run and walk you can enjoy all the shopping, food and games on the Boardwalk after the event,” Burke said. “May is a wonderful time to be on Ocean City’s Boardwalk.”

The money raised in 2016 was used to rent a billboard providing people with information on the interpretation of Lyme disease results, which can often times be inaccurate, she said.

In addition, an ad was purchased on the Ocean City transit system featuring the acronym, “ACT,” which helps people See LYME Page 61

Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run/walk on OC Boardwalk Continued from Page 59 remember what to do.

First, apply bug repellant to skin and clothing. Then check for ticks and bathe immediately after outdoor activities. Finally, treat pets and yards with insecticide, Burke said.

“We are motivated in getting the word out about protecting yourself, your children and pets from tick bites,” Burke said. “This is an especially bad year for the tick population. A combination of mild weather and an unusually large acorn production last fall led to an abundant food supply.”

“This triggered earlier breeding and larger litters resulting in increased deer, mouse and squirrel populations,” she

said. “Because rodents get much closer to human populations (in our yards, parks, on sports fields) than other species, the white-footed mouse is the most common carrier of harmful ticks.”

Lyme disease is the most common and fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. In 2014, being infected with Lyme disease resulted in three deaths and 300,000 reported new cases, Burke said.

“Participants and supporters will get free information about prevention and identification of tick-related illnesses,” Burke said.

For more information, search “Fight the Bite Lyme Awareness 5K” on Facebook or email Burke at fightthebiteoc@gmail.com.

Burley Oak of Berlin, Evolution out of Salisbury, Dogfish Head from Milton, Delaware, Fin City of West Ocean City, 3rd Wave from Delmar, Delaware, Fordham & Dominion of Dover, Rubber Soul Brewing Company from Salisbury, Tall Tales out of Parsonsburg, RAR from Cambridge, Mispillion River Brewing of Milford, Delaware, Big Oyster Brewery from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Ocean City Brewing Company are the local breweries slated to provide samples.

There will be local bands and dee-

jays playing simultaneously on the beach and pier stages throughout the event on 49th Street, Miller said.

“The stages are close together and you will be able to see both performances,” Miller said.

Light up the Moon, Breakdown, Cherry Crush, IV Stone, Audio Riot and Lovely Rita are a few of the acts scheduled to perform.

In addition, deejays Magellan, Tuff, Cruz, Mike T, Bobby-O and Davie are slated to spin tunes throughout the day.

Seafood, raw bar items, jerk chicken, ribs, wings and spicy dishes off the Seacrets menu can be paired with craft brews for an additional cost.

Attendees may also want to talk with brewers and experts to learn about the beer-making process.

More than 300 people came out last year. Attendees must be 21 or older and everyone will receive a commemorative event cup.

Tickets cost $30 in advance and can be purchased at Seacrets on 49th Street or online at seacrets.com/12PackBrew-Fest. At the door, tickets will be $35. Designated driver tickets will be available for $10 with unlimited soft drinks. For more information, call Seacrets at 410-524-4900.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Walker provides Mother’s Day menu options

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 12, 2017) Entertaining is a learning process and confidence comes with experience.

There is a certain risk when planning a menu, but that is part of the lure and heightens the rewards of accomplishment.

Preparation is mandatory if success is to flourish. The food, setting, season and occasion must be considered if the celebration is to be a memorable affair.

Simplicity is a good thing if it is fashioned by specific intention.

Mother’s Day is one of the most celebrated holidays and planning is in full swing. One is faced with countless choices and particulars can be challenging. Following are some suggestions that may reduce the level of stress and help with the progression of finalization.

With this thought in mind, let us start from the moment your guests arrive. A chef must not only be concerned with taste but also should be aware of color and texture. Greeting your company with a glass of punch is always a charming touch. What better way to start off your Mother’s Day merriment than with a glass of rose blossom punch? This particular recipe is light, refreshing and looks stunning served from a clear punch bowl. The following recipe is taken from the Crabtree & Evelyn Cookbook.

Rose Blossom Punch Ingredients 4 pink unsprayed roses with 4-inch stems, rinsed 8 cups white wine, chilled ½ cup Kirsh 1 to 2 tablespoons rosewater 1. The day before you plan to serve the punch, prepare the rose-filled ice cube for the center of the punch bowl.

(If you serve small ice cubes as oppose to one large ice cube, the smaller ones will melt and dilute your punch). To do so, thoroughly rinse out a half-gallon cardboard milk or juice carton with water. Cut off the top and trim the sides to about 7 inches. Place 3 roses in the carton.

Fill to within 1-inch of top with boiled and cooled water. Freeze overnight, or until solidly frozen.

2. To make the punch, combine wine, Kirsch and rosewater in a wide glass punch bowl. Remove cardboard from the ice cube and carefully place it in the center of the punch bowl.

Using the last remaining rose, float small rose petals and leaves on top of the punch to complete your stunning presentation.

For centuries, cooks have known the virtue of judicious seasoning; balancing the trinity of sweetness, savoriness and spiciness peaks one’s

particular palate. Brunches are synonymous with Mother’s Day and a platter of cheese and crackers is always popular and is as basic as it gets.

The addition of an ingredient can change the whole dynamics of a dish.

For example, spreading jam over brie raises the level of creativity. However, adding a touch of balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper to the strawberry jam yields a much more sophisticated and appealing appetizer.

Creating an obsession for details is crucial; the smaller the detail the more proficiency is apparent. Adding seafood to one’s menu can be pricy; but frozen shrimp is considerably less expensive and perfectly acceptable in certain dishes. The following cheesy shrimp dip is so easy to make and will not compromise your budget.

Shrimp Dip Ingredients ¼ cup unsalted butter 2/3 cup chopped red bell pepper, seeded 1 clove garlic, minced 1/3 cup scallions, finely sliced 1 pound thawed frozen shrimp, deveined and coarsely chopped 1 cup sour cream 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella ½ cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise few dashes of favorite hot sauce (optional) kosher salt to taste fresh, coarsely ground pepper favorite crackers 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, garlic and scallions and sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove skillet from stove and stir in sour cream, cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce and salt to taste. Spoon mixture into a 2quart baking dish. Bake until golden brown and bubbly. Add a dusting of

fresh ground pepper. Serve with crackers.

The attractive seashore does just that; it attracts friends and family during the sunny months of summer and special holidays. A salad Nicoise is a light, festive salad very fitting for Mother’s Day. Salad Nicoise, pronounced ni’ SWAZ, is a salad that originated in the French city of Nice. It is traditionally made of fresh tuna, ruby red cherry tomatoes, perfectly-cooked hard boiled eggs, crisp green and yellow French string beans and dressed with extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Rich salamis and pickled cornichons, capers and red onions can be added for extra depth of flavor.

Arrange each ingredient on the table in separate bowls and plates.

The function is two-fold. A salad tossed with all of its ingredients including the vinaigrette eventually becomes soggy. Secondly, ingredients can be omitted according to personal preference.

Boston, Bibb and red leaf lettuce are the best for this type of salad.

After the lettuce has been washed and dried, cluster it and place it in a bowl with the base of the leaves in iced water. The bowl and lettuce serves as a gorgeous table decoration and keeps the lettuce crisp.

If one prefers serving a main course that has more substance, consider presenting a ham glazed in orange marmalade with a hint of fresh ginger. The orange marmalade is a refreshing twist and keeps the ham moist. You can also mix some of the cooking liquid, orange marmalade, and Grand Marnier for a delightful sauce. The citrus notes of oranges harmonizes wonderfully with the warm tropical breezes of May. Desserts are the finale to celebratory events; simple and composed dishes equate satisfaction to the fullest degree. Lemon zabaglione with fresh berries is light and compli-

ments any Mother’s Day menu.

Zabaglione, pronounced zah-bahlYOH-nay, is a famous, frothy Italian dessert that is usually made with fresh berries. The addition of lemon makes it ideal in warm weather.

When making zabaglione, make sure to cook the egg mixture in a glass bowl over water that is barely simmering. Glass conducts heat more evenly and gently than metal. If the heat is too high, the eggs will scramble.

Lemon Zabaglione with Fresh Berries Ingredients 3 cups fresh berries pinch of table salt few pinches of allspice

Zabaglione 4 large egg yolks 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 4 tablespoons dry marsala 1. Toss berries, sugar, salt and allspice in a medium nonreactive bowl.

Set berries aside to release juices while preparing zabaglione.

2. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and marsala in medium glass bowl until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Set bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water (water should not touch the bottom of the bowl) and gently cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is frothy.

3. Divide berry mixture evenly among 4 champagne flutes. Pour lemon zabaglione over fruit and serve immediately.

Mother’s Day comes once a year.

Entertaining is a gratifying experience, but it’s secondary to enjoying time with loved ones. Remember what this day is truly about. Happy Mother’s Day! Secret Ingredient - Entertaining. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”

— Virginia Woolf

SDMS 7th grader wins silver medal at bodyflight event

(May 12, 2017) Chase Dolan, a seventh grader at Stephen Decatur Middle School, earned a silver medal during the International Bodyflight Association U.S. Nationals recently in Virginia Beach.

Bodyflight or tunnel flying is a new and up-and-coming sport where participants fly in a wind tunnel or indoor skydiving simulator.

Competitors make as many formations as possible in a set period of time. The formations are drawn randomly and released to competitors less than 12 hours before the competition begins.

What sets tunnel flying apart from most other sports is that adults and kids compete against each other. The only distinction within a competitive discipline are the levels of difficulty – Rookie, Intermediate and Advanced.

Dolan and his teammates competed in the 2W FS discipline - Advanced division and earned first and second place.

Dolan has been training since September 2016 for the nationals, but has been tunnel flying since the age of 3. He travels to Baltimore every

OC Life-Saving Station Museum holds open house

(May 12, 2017) In honor of International Museum Day, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum will be holding an open house on Thursday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There will be free admission for all and discounts in the museum store.

The theme of International Museum Day 2017 is “Museums and contested histories: Saying the unspeakable in museums.”

This theme focuses on the role of museums that, by working to benefit society, become hubs for promoting peaceful relationships between people. It also highlights how the acceptance of a contested history is the first step in envisioning a shared future under the banner of reconciliation.

The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to increase public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society, and it has been steadily gaining momentum ever since.

In 2016, International Museum Day garnered record-breaking participation with more than 35,000 museums hosting events in some 145 countries.

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is located on the south end of the Boardwalk at 813 South Atlantic Avenue. For more information, call 410-289-4991 or visit www.ocmuseum.org.

week to train with his team at IFLY Baltimore.

A six-hour roundtrip drive can be quite taxing on a school night. If the weather cooperates, his parents fly him in their personal airplane to minimize travel time.

The team collectively has trained

approximately 1,200 minutes in the tunnel. To put it into perspective, this amount of time is the equivalent of 1,200 jumps if they were participating in actual skydiving.

Dolan is no stranger to skydiving as the family business, Skydive OC, has been training tandem skydiving

over Ocean City since 2002.

Dolan may only be 12 years old, but he is passionate about flying and has always aspired for as long as he can remember to train to be a professional skydiving instructor and eventually operate the family business.

Donations to benefit local charities and orgs.

Continued from Page 69 “Women will be able to nominate a local charity that benefits Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties,” she continued. “All funds must stay on the shore. Three charities will be randomly picked and those women will have five minutes to tell everyone why they love their organization.”

All meetings are one hour long.

After presentations, each member will vote for their favorite choice and the charity with the most votes will receive checks from all 100+ Women Who Care on the Shore members.

“We are looking forward to our second meeting on May 16,” Eisenman said. “We’re so excited to see which charities the members will share and educate us about.”

The $100 checks are written directly to the charity and delivered. All donations are tax deductible.

Beer and wine will be available with 20 percent of alcohol and store purchases donated to the selected charity as well.

“Charities can be nominated over and over again,” Mulholland said.

“But once a charity has been chosen, it cannot be nominated again for one

year. Charities must be 501(c)(3).”

The nonprofit organization, 100+ Women Who Care, began in Michigan more than a decade ago. Currently, there are more than 400 active chapters across the world.

“I first heard of the organization while visiting my mother in Iowa,” Mulholland said. “Her friends started their own chapter and I loved the idea of a group of women getting together and discussing charities in their community and then writing checks to the chosen local charity.”

The local chapter will have its third and final meeting of 2017 on Oct. 17 at Sisters on North Main Street in Berlin from 5:15-6:15 p.m.

Doors open at 5 p.m. on Tuesday and all $100 cash or check donations should be brought to the second meeting.

“Together, we can make our donations go further,” Mulholland said.

“Our first meeting in February, we had 35 members in attendance and were able to donate $3,900 to the Stephen Decatur Band Boosters to go toward new uniforms. Please join us for a fun hour of socializing and learning about the needs of your community.”

Commentary

Solid objections, but little impact

That, as they say, is that. The Maryland Public Service Commission has issued its decision and there’s not much the Town of Ocean City can do about it.

It remains, however, that a big step remains before anyone in Ocean City will see turbines turning off the coast — these things have to be built first.

A safe guess is that will take quite some time, as the federal vetting process still awaits, not to mention the business of rounding up the millions and millions of dollars wind farm developers Skipjack and U.S. Wind will need to enter the construction stage.

The materials alone, U.S. Wind officials ventured when the City Council called on it to move farther offshore, run about $1 million a mile.

The companies’ plans also assume they will be able to make money with these projects, which is not a given considering that a great deal can happen between this point and whenever the first piling is scheduled to be driven into the ocean floor.

Even then, in a report in last week’s real estate section of this newspaper quoted a Block Island, Rhode Island Realtor, who said the nation’s first offshore wind farm there has had no impact on real estate values. Likewise, declared a Realtor from Hawaii, where land-based turbines are well within view of prime real estate there.

Just because the PSC ignored Ocean City’s concerns doesn’t mean the end is near. If these projects ever do happen, the view will be different, but the economy won’t collapse, visitors won’t stop coming to the resort, and business will proceed as usual.

This isn’t to say that all objections to these installations are meritless. Obviously, some real concerns do exist, but apparently, they weren’t strong enough to sway the PSC. In the meantime, this is one of those situations where we must wait and see what, if anything at all, happens.

Letters to the editor City hall has no place in private business

Editor, Re: Councilman Wayne Hartman’s prohibition of booze at Bikefest: government has no business dictating to private business what products it may sell/free citizens may purchase.

And it’s ineffable that one in his position would classify a motorcycle as ‘intimidating.’ Irresponsible at best; at worst, an attempt at a renascence of quiescent ignorance in an astonishing display of nescience. Kudos to voice of reason John Gehrig.

Stone Scruggs Ocean City

Not acceptable to tack on bench cost

Editor, When I purchased a bench for the Boardwalk, at no point in the transaction was a 10-year term mentioned. Now it has been added and I am told to pay $1,100 or lose the bench.

I emailed the mayor, no response. I emailed the City Council, no response.

I have heard from city government workers but they are just repeating what they have been told to say.

So again, I ask the leadership of this city: how can you just decide that a bench I paid for, following the guidelines established

by the city, can now be assigned a 10-year term? How can the city just change things? Do I have the same ability to just change our agreement?

I suspect, like most politicians, you are hoping I will just accept things and move on quietly. Your failure to plan long term and thus face a financial crisis does not mean that my family budget now needs to face a crisis.

What is being done here is wrong and needs to be changed.

Brian King Fallston, Maryland

Live within means, avoid tax increase

Editor, [Recently] the city manager was quoted as saying that a tax increase of 7.6 percent will be needed in the next year or two.

He said that this projection is based on current spending levels and future expenses and revenue probabilities in the city government’s strategic plan and a five-year finance plan. I am a full-time city resident and I find it difficult to believe that we can’t find a way to live within the current tax revenue base. It seems that the idea of freezing or even cutting government expenditures to maintain or even lower the tax rate is never seriously debated or even considered.

For example, I’d like to look at promotion and marketing.

Obviously, we live in the age of the internet and social media.

We have the city website, the city Facebook page, the Chamber of Commerce web site, and innumerable Ocean City related websites across the internet. We also have the Ocean City local TV channel 4, and many related internet Ocean City web cams.

As far as printed material for promotion and marketing purposes, we have the attractive, well stocked Convention Center Visitor Center and the Chamber of Commerce Center on Route 50 just to mention two. So, I question the need and the cost to print and mail the 28-page, full colored OC newsletter and community calendar every year.

As another example, I recently received the annual city report on water quality. I found it to be overly technical and not of much benefit. If that report is needed or helpful, it seems to me it could be printed in black and white and included in the city water bill and not mailed separately. The water report lists causes of pollution, including various bacteria.

It would seem to me that a report like this should have included the existence and dangers of a flesh-eating bacteria in Assawoman Bay, which killed an Ocean City resident last year. The danger of entering the water with an open wound should have been highlighted. I have been Continued on Page 94

No more friendly skies

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher Life used to be so simple. Many years ago, if you were looking for trouble, you’d go to a bar. Now, if you’re looking for trouble, you get on an airplane.

It seems we’re hearing almost weekly reports about airborne fights or takedowns, or about someone being kicked off for breaking one rule or another.

“Excuse me, sir, is that chewing gum in your mouth? Did you bring enough for everyone? No? Then you march yourself right out of here, mister.”

For reasons air travel experts have yet to determine, we’re no longer flying the friendly skies. It’s more like, “Welcome to Smackdown Airlines, are you ready to rumble?”

It’s baffling when you consider how many people are paying a great deal of money to get into an airplane scuffle. In the old days, you went to a bar and got your butt kicked for free.

“Excuse me, miss, but I see that your boyfriend has finally mastered walking on his hind legs. Just kidding, really.

Bartender, a drink for the lady, and … ummm … a chew toy for the gentleman.

Hahahahaha.” Whap!

You don’t even have to stow your carryon bag, much less pay for assorted extras.

“A bag of peanuts is a dollar? That’s outrageous!”

Whap!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 93 visiting or living in Ocean City all my life and I haven’t met one resident or visitor who was aware of that bacteria until the unfortunate death of this citizen last year.

I am very much aware for the importance and need for marketing and communication. I am not diminishing these fields. In fact, I was heavily involved in both of these fields during my professional career.

However, the Ocean City calendar and the water report are just two examples of what I think are unnecessary expenditures in the city budget. More importantly, in my opinion, they are indicative of a political culture which has no interest or inclination to ever look at lowering costs, lowering taxes and living within our means.

Instead of spending all this time and effort just to calculate how big a tax increase should be, why wouldn’t our first priority be to look at ways to avoid any tax increase?

Relay for Life celebrates hope with Friday event

Editor, Hope is a word we use every day. We hope for a better life, better family relationships and more peace and civility in our world. These are just three hopeful wants of many.

My hope wish is a cure for cancer. On May 12 at [Stephen Decatur Middle School], a celebration of hope is going to

“Excuse me, sir, but I need to use the restroom.”

Whap! … “Still need to?”

“Nope. You knocked it out of me.

Thanks!”

It may be that the airline industry is charging for so many things these days — “That’ll be $500 for the flight, sir, and another $500 if you want to land” — that passengers are so annoyed that the slightest thing sets them off.

“LOOK! FREE PEANUT ON THE FLOOR!” Whap!whap!whap!whap!whappitywhap!

Years ago, the only way I’d fly was if I was sedated, drunk or some combination of the two. It wasn’t that I was afraid of flying, which is no big deal, but what would happen if the flying part stopped before it should.

“This is your captain speaking. We are now over the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, because of a little scheduling mix-up, we will stop flying in exactly 30 seconds. See ya!”

I finally got over that, but now I’m reluctant to fly because my brawling days are long behind me. Bars are safer in that respect.

“Hey, pal, you’re the funniest-looking, most worthless human being I’ve ever seen!”

“Thanks. I’m not flying anymore either.”

take place. It is the Relay for Life.

Today, everyone, one way or another has been effected by cancer in their lives.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It attacks all walks of life, young, old, all genders and every ethnic group. It is a dreaded disease.

I am a 14-year survivor of cancer. I want to fight this disease until a cure is found. It scares me now and scared me when I found out I had it. This made me want to fight harder.

The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is a friendly walking celebration for the entire family. Our objective is to raise funds and make everyone aware of the ongoing fight against cancer. We celebrate with hope and prayer for the lives who have beaten cancer, ones who are fighting cancer with their caregivers and for those who have succumbed to this disease.

This event is both happy and sad.

Tears and laughs are so common but so truly worthy to attend. Our theme is hope and the color of hope is purple. We want to paint the world purple so we can beat this dreaded disease. We are trying to raise funds for this event. Good people of this community, please help us. We need contributions to the American Cancer Society.

A quote by the wonderful Helen Keller goes as follows, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

God Bless and Thanks to All. Nick Bartolomeo Selbyville, Delaware
