STEWART DOBSON/OCEAN CITY TODAY
MEGATRON MOVES OUT After close to 12 weeks of rehabilitation and a diet of herring, squid and small forage fish at the Baltimore National Aquarium, the harbor seal Megatron returns to the open sea. The Wednesday morning release at 40th Street came after Megatron bounced back following his rescue at Bethany Beach in late April. The juvenile seal was emaciated, suffered from dehydration and skin lesions. A crowd of more than 50 people watched as Megatron flippered himself out of his cage and immediately into the ocean.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) The Maryland Transit Administration wants Ocean City to install new surveillance cameras in every bus that drives on Coastal Highway, and it is willing to help pay for it. Public Works Director Hal Adkins told the Transportation Commission on Tuesday that the MTA offered partial funding to install 400 cameras on the resort’s fleet of buses and ADA vans. “The grant came out of left field and was granted when we were in budget ‘This is for lawmeetings,” Adkins suits, police insaid. “[Budget manvestigations ager] Jennie Knapp and training.’ was made aware that — Hal Adkins we had some rePublic Works quests still out when we were discussing the 2017 budget.” The total cost is projected at $500,000, with the cost split between federal, state and local governments. The federal government will cover 80 percent of the cost, which comes out to $400,000. Maryland and Ocean City will pay $50,000 apiece. Roughly 30 to 50 percent of Maryland’s transit systems do not have surveillance systems, according to Beth Kreider, the MTA’s director of Locally Operated Transit Systems. The MTA has recommended installing five or six high-resolution cameras inside and outside the 40-foot standard buses, and eight or nine cameras for each of the two new articulating buses. The cameras would also include audio as well as visual, but would not stream live. “This would be reactive,” Adkins said. “There’s nobody sitting behind a monitor watching live surveillance See FEDS Page 5

Near drowning avoided with help of surfer OC Fire Department rescue swimmers helped by alert good Samaritan on Sunday By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Two boogie boarders who were saved from a possible drowning by a surfer and three Ocean City Fire Department rescue swimmers offers a cautionary tale as summer season approaches. The incident occurred on Sunday at about 1:15 p.m. near 16th Street, according to Jessica Waters, communication manager for Ocean City. She said that the two subjects had abandoned their boards and attempted to swim to shore after a probable rip current began to take them out to sea. In addition to an anonymous good Samaritan surfer, OCFD members Mick Chester, (Councilman) Matt James and Ben Waples assisted in the rescue effort. Following a paramedic evaluation, the pair of wayward boarders received medical clearance and required no further treatment. With lifeguards not on duty until Memorial Day, Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin hopes others take heed of the incident. “Ninety-five percent of all drowning’s occur when Beach Patrol isn’t on duty,” he said. “We perform between two and four thousand rescues each year.” Ocean currents can turn treacherous quickly and take a fair share of lives. “Riptides are the third leading

He is also appreciative of the surfer community whose members are generally knowledgeable and respectful of the ocean’s power. “Many times we’ve had surfers assist us,” he said. Especially with offseason incidents, surfers are often the lifesavers, Arbin said. In this most recent instance, the two struggling swimmers gained some relief by holding onto a stranger’s surfboard, providing rescuers sufficient time to reach them. “The real hero is the surfer,” he said. “If that surfer had not been there…”

‘Operation Street Sweeper’ picks up dozens Street-level dealers targets of joint task force resulting in 61 warrants or arrests
Staff report (May 13, 2016) The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office in cooperation with the Ocean City Police Narcotics Division released the results of a nearly eight-month long operation designed to combat drug-related criminal offenses in the area. “For months, the Criminal Enforcement Team in cooperation with the Ocean City Police Department’s Narcotics Division, the Delaware State Police, Homeland Security and the Office of the State’s Attorney have been working … to uncover, investigate and stop the growing drug prob-
lem that has not only been a problem for our community – but for neighborhoods around the country,” Worcester Sheriff Reggie Mason said in a release. The operation was codenamed “Operation Street Sweeper,” and was local law enforcement’s response to “what is absolutely an escalating problem,” Mason said. “Understanding that nearly every user deals at some point to support their habit, a ground up approach to enforcement was likely to net intelligence that would ultimately lead us to many of their suppliers.” Operation Street Sweeper generated 61 arrests or arrest warrants, according to the release, however, only about half of those were made available to the press. Search warrants for

This is for lawsuits, police investigations and training.” The city’s IT department would have limited involvement in hardwiring the buses, but still have to contend with the possibility of having to store the footage for long-term use. “If it’s stored on the bus itself, it could be saved for a time period before it overwrites itself. If it goes beyond simply storing it on the bus, there could be unknown costs or storage issues,” said City Engineer Terry McGean. At the moment, Adkins said that the surveillance system does not have any proposed long-term storage. The everyday videos would be kept for a time before being taped over. Specific incidents that needed to be recorded could be cut from the tape and saved indefinitely, similar to how the Ocean
City Police Department logs videos from the Boardwalk cameras. From a liability and legal standpoint, Risk Manager Eric Langstrom said that saving footage, and the cameras in general would be an asset to the city. “It would be a good investment. Whether it works for us or against us, it tells us where we are and where we stand,” he said. The Transportation Committee agreed that spending $50,000 would be a drop in the bucket, considering the safety and insurance benefits. The city council members who sit on the committee agreed to recommend the proposed grant at a future council session. “It’s a higher degree of responsibility because people entrust the transit system to carry them,” said Councilman Dennis Dare.

residences, vehicles, persons, computers, social media accounts and cell phones were also generated. Mason said any number of nuisance crimes associated with drug activity have been prevented following the completion of Operation Street Sweeper. “Many of those arrested were observed committing thefts, engaging in prostitution or otherwise taking the safety of Worcester County from her citizens,” Mason said. State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby said this is neither the first nor the last operation of its kind. “For as long as there are people suffering – you can count on the team of prosecutors and staff to answer the calls of our community,” he said. Chief Ross Buzzuro of the Ocean City Police Department said the partnership between allied agencies was
largely responsible for the success of the operation, and tied continued success to continued partnership.

Police seek greater citation power in resort Officials admit no problems with existing system while officers seek more options
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Ocean City officials are considering the possibility of harsher and immediate penalties for those who do not listen to police officers. During Monday’s Police Commission meeting, Capt. Kevin Kirstein expressed concerns that the city code might need to revisit old ordinances or create a new one to encourage people to stop what the police consider disruptive or unlawful behavior after the first civilian citation. Currently, ordinances are written so that police can issue a citation on a first offence. If a person has not
complied by the following day, it’s treated as a subsequent offense. “It’s similar to if you had a fire inspection and your smoke detector wasn’t working. If you didn’t get it fixed today, then you’re still in violation for the rest of the day,” Kirstein said. “The best we can do right now is come back and issue another citation the following day.” Under city law, Ocean City officials have to wait 24 hours before taking another action. In the meantime, the perpetrator theoretically could take the first citation and ignore the police’s directive for the duration. But while commission members look for ways to encourage greater compliance with police directives, elected officials acknowledge that problems so far are nonexistent. “I think it could be frustrating for the police when they issue citations
and not see results. At the same time the council could get frustrated, perceiving that action isn’t being taken, when the proper police procedures have been followed,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. Discussions between Kirstein and City Solicitor Guy Ayres were sparked after a police were unsure a cited Boardwalk performer would cease his behavior last summer. “Were a person to say, ‘Thanks for the fine,’ and keeps on going, then what are we going to do?’” Kirstein said. “This is something we can look at to see if there’s a law to allow us to stop someone [immediately] to continue the violation.” Ayres told the commission that there is a Maryland common law known as “failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order,” which typically requires the public to listen to
the police. Under this law, specific infractions could be misdemeanors, and could later become chargeable offenses. On the surface, failure to obey could be of little use to the police department because it’s mainly used in emergencies or to prevent a breach of peace. Kirstein used an example that if a riotous crowd was on the Boardwalk, people could be arrested after being told to leave. But Ayres believes that the law is not so narrow, which presents another problem with who has the authority to write citations. “I don’t think that it’s so restricSee EXISTING Page 7

Tourist killed in crosswalk was trying to catch bus ride Veteran OCPD officer in marked cruiser struck man crossing against traffic light
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2013) The Pennsylvania man who was fatally struck by an Ocean City Police patrol car while walking against the traffic signal last week was crossing 94th Street to catch a ride from the bus, resort officials said this week. “Apparently, there was a group trying to get on the bus, and one guy made it and the other didn’t arrive safely,” Acting Superintendent of Transportation Wayne Pryor said during Tuesday’s Transportation Commission. Jeffrey Yale Delong, 67, of Kutztown, Pennsylvania was crossing Coastal Highway east to west in a crosswalk on 94th Street around 1:11 a.m. on May 3. He was struck by a marked police Chevy Tahoe that was southbound. The car was driven by on-duty officer Officer Xeniya Patterson, a five-year veteran. According to Pryor, Delong was visiting Ocean City on a golfing trip. After the crash, he was taken to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, where he was declared dead.
After Delong was struck, the bus driver pulled the vehicle across Coastal Highway to block the victim from oncoming traffic, Pryor said. “It was quick thinking,” said OCPD Capt. Kevin Kirstein. “When I arrived, I thought that the bus hit him, but that maneuver is what we teach firefighters to do — block traffic.” In the following days, the bus driver met with Pryor and Risk Manager Eric Langstrom, and was offered the assistance of the city’s Community Emergency Response Team. “He did make some recommendations based on what he saw on the circuit, and that there was a number of streetlights out along Coastal Highway, four in particular,” Pryor told the commission. “That certainly wasn’t the problem at 94th Street. It was lit up like a Christmas tree around there.” The police officer was not injured in the crash and her blood alcohol content level was at 0.0. According to a police spokesperson, OCPD will not know Delong’s BAC level for a few days. Patterson is now on paid administrative leave. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is investigating the incident, and Ocean City police have opened their own internal investigations.

Existing law may cover OCPD request for more enforcement Continued from Page 6 tive, but we have to look at it more closely,” he said. “We have a number of civil violations and a number of officers that are authorized to issue tickets, like building inspectors. Issuing misdemeanor citations gets pretty serious, and I don’t want to cause potential problems.” Resort police are seeking a mechanism to enhance enforcement options should people be suspected of disobeying police directives, Ayres
said. “So when you tell them to do something, it has to have some teeth in it.” Between now and the next Police Commission meeting in June, Kirstein and Ayres will examine the common law and city’s several disorderly conduct regulations to see if there’s an existing law that could be employed. Alternately, city officials will propose an ordinance that focuses on police actions – and the parameters of serious violations.

The Power Play Band performs on Sunday, the final day of the 26th annual Ocean City Springfest festival in the inlet parking lot.
Soggy Springfest draws less sun seekers than past years Attendance drops under 100,000 due to lots of rainy and cloudy weather
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 13, 2016) Springfest had one of its best years ever in 2015, bringing an estimated 108,000 people to the inlet lot for music, vendors and fun, and the year before that, the event brought in about 102,000. That trend is over, because of what seems to be the everlasting murk that has enveloped the resort and the region for the past three weeks. This year, the 26th annual event brought in 91,370 people, according to organizer Frank Miller. Miller, however, is anything but gloomy. “We were definitely down, but last year was one of the best-attended events in history,” Miller said. “The highest ever was in 2002 with 119,000 people.” Joining Miller’s view is OC Communications Manager Jessica Waters. “It’s not a huge surprise that the
numbers didn’t match last year, as Springfest attendance is very weather dependent. What I do think is incredible is that despite the wind, rain and chilly temperatures, we still had nearly 100,000 people attend,” she said. “Our headliners packed the house and people didn’t mind that we had less than perfect weather and instead enjoyed making memories at the beach, which I think is what Springfest is all about.” The result was predictable to Miller, because weather forecasts during the weekend mirrored the ones preceding it: cloudy, gray and with a bit of drizzle. “It’s really all due to the weather. For anyone looking ahead, it really makes it difficult to book plans,” he said. The opening night of the festival, last Thursday, remained stable in terms of population, decreasing from last year’s nearly 12,000 to about 10,000 this year. The headline act Thursday, Dr. K’s Motown Review, drew fewer than 800 people, which is more than Miller exSee SARA Page 10

The sun was shining on Sunday, the final day of the 26th annual Ocean City Springfest celebration in the inlet parking lot.
Sara Evans sells out concert Friday night despite weather Continued from Page 8 pected. “We had bad weather during that show. It was windy and it was cold,” he said. But the Springfest loyalists remained. “We’ve always had a dedicated base of shoppers. You can see there’s not much change in Thursdays’ numbers. Not the drop we saw on Friday,” Miller said. Friday attendance was nearly halved year over year. Last year, Friday attendance was only six shy of 34,000 people at Springfest. This year, it was about 17,400. Despite the low numbers, Friday’s headliner, country music star Sara Evans played to sellout crowds. The event fared better on Saturday, nearly reaching the 41,214 mark set
last year with a turnout of 40,148. “Saturday we saw our typical crowds, everyone we expected. We did have rain in bursts. People were chased into the tents three times on Saturday. The headlining act, Collective Soul, left about 400 open seats during its performance. Sunday, proving Miller’s point with a brief respite from the gloomy conditions, actually saw an increase in attendance over last year: 22,501 to 20,961, which itself was an improvement of more than 1,500 people the year before. “This really shows this event has a great reputation — it’s something people want to do regardless of conditions. I’d call it pretty impressive, and I think Springfest will get a lot of respect in coming years,” Miller said.
Md. Coastal Bays Program gets in-kind county support By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Continuing an arrangement established years ago, the Worcester County Commissioners last Tuesday opted to use nonfederal Rural Legacy Program funds as an in-kind match to help fund the Maryland Coastal Bays Program through next year. The Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuary Program requires a local match, in this case about $600,000, in order to release a grant that funds the program. Director of Environmental Programs Bob Mitchell said the county’s existing state grant of $360,000 for the Bay Restoration Fund along with $300,000 in Rural Legacy funds
would more than meet the match as in-kind contributions and satisfy the requirements of the EPA. Frank Piorko, the new executive director of the program, said the support is required by the EPA to qualify for the grant funding in the next cycle, which runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 next year. “We’re in gathering mode to see what kind of support we can raise,” he said. “Each funding cycle lends itself to different programs.” Commissioner Diana Purnell expressed strong approval of the program, citing the impact on area youth. “Young people who have worked for coastal bays have stepped into other jobs,” she said.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) An expensive error in Ocean City’s flood zone map is now on the radar of the resort’s representatives in Congress and they have responded. In a statement released Wednesday by Sen. Barbara Mikulski’s office, the senator said she and Sen. Ben Cardin sent to a letter to Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) Director Craig Fugate to fix flood insurance rate maps for Ocean City and to follow the line established by the Army Corps of Engineers. “We urge you to give the strongest consideration to the concerns raised by Mayor (Rick) Meehan with respect to the area between 93rd Street and 123rd Street. This section was mapped incorrectly, and does not follow the line established by the Corps. As a result, these properties’ owners now unfairly face exorbitant high flood insurance costs,” the senators wrote. “We understand that FEMA staff has already directed Ocean City to pursue a Letter of Map Revision. Fixing this mistake should not be the town’s burden. We urge FEMA to fix this mistake and immediately apply the already-established boundaries being used by the Corps in determining the VE zone boundary.” In the last year, FEMA has erroneously included segments of properties between 93rd and 123rd Streets high-risk zone on an online map that analysts use to determine coverage. As a result, residents are now seeing their flood protection skyrocket by tens of thousands of dollars. One condominium, the Rainbow near 112nd Street, was recently quoted at a $460,000 premium. The City Council sent a letter to the
U.S. Senate and House of Representatives for immediate assistance in April. Shortly afterwards, Meehan started hearing back from state officials. “I spoke with Sen. Mikulski and Rep. Harris during their visits to Ocean City earlier last week, “Meehan said. “We talked about moving forward to correct this and what can be done to expedite the process and resolve this issue.” Sen. Jim Mathias, a former mayor of Ocean City, increased pressure on his fellow representatives by sending a letter of his own. According to a press release, he hand-delivered a letter to Mikulski and sent others to Cardin and Harris. In those letters, Mathias explained that FEMA considered two dunes on the beach, one of which was created by the Army Corps of Engineers for beach replenishment, was considered as a double-humped feature when setting the flood hazard line. “For many years, we’ve worked very effectively with our state and federal partners to protect Ocean City and its citizens from storms and flooding through our Beach Replenishment Program,” Mathias said. “Unfortunately, this FEMA error vacates so much of our good work,” Mathias said. Harris said he received Mathias’s letter just a few days before his visit to Ocean City. “Hopefully this is not a case where one hand of the government is not paying attention to what the other hand is doing,” Harris said. “I talked with the mayor about how we can dovetail on the town’s actions.” Harris added that he has an interest in this issue because it crosses into a committee under his purview. “I think FEMA is going to be interested in what I have to say since I’m on the Committee on Appropriations for Homeland Security,” he said. FEMA was recognized under that department in 2003.

the sticker to the property owner,” Neville said. “We’ll then follow up with a inspection in a month, and we’ll carry the stickers on us.” Councilman Wayne Hartman, who championed stricter rental policies for all of Ocean City’s properties, was impressed with the city staff’s efforts. “This definitely sounds like a very proactive and effective tool to start this year with,” Hartman said to Neville. But Neville pointed out the new system has only been in place for a few weeks, and it’s too soon to measure its success. “Last year, there were 175 registered R-1 rentals, so there have been some that dropped out or some we need to catch this summer,” he said. “It’s an ongoing project and we’ll have it perfected by next summer.”

tenance, like bringing rails up to standards and removing some bunk beds to keep it in the maximum occupancy,” he said. Those who do not meet the new requirements and whose owners are renting them without a license can be fined $500 for the first offense. If the owner does not comply within 15 days, a $1,000 fine is issued, and after 30 days, the $1,000 becomes a daily fine. To end the excuses of ignorance, the resort will also issue a sticker to each unit, stating what the maximum occupancy is. The sticker will be placed on the rental’s door and on the license, although the logistics of distributing them hasn’t been decided. “We’re still working on the best procedure.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) After weeks of playing catch up, Ocean City officials are on the offense in addressing unlicensed and neglected rental properties in single-family zoned (R-1) districts. So far, 160 rental applications have been sent to the city staff through the new licensing program. Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville said that 89 applications were completed and 71 forms are still pending. “They’re still being considered for different reasons, whether it means those property owners did not complete the correct form or paid the new fee,” he told City Council during Tuesday’s work session. Back in March, the City Council adopted new licensing applications that ask renters to list the number of bedrooms in a unit, where the property is being advertised, and its advertised total occupancy. The forms also include text from the zoning code that R-1 properties cannot be occupied by more than four unrelated people. Owners also need to comply with Ocean City’s maximum occupancy restriction of 40 square feet per person in a bedroom. The application fee was also increased from $116 to $166. “[License Inspector] Mike Sherman is now pursuing the extra $50 on early applications, and some are just waiting on inspection,” Neville said. In the new licensing system, the form is sent to the building department to initiate the building inspection process. Of the 105 properties
that needed to be checked, roughly 65 have been inspected and had their maximum occupancy calculated. The new application also requires emergency contact information for the rental, since that information often was outdated or unavailable in the past. The city staff created a spreadsheet of phone numbers and has shared that with other departments that deal with the seasonal rentals. Ocean City staff has also been revisiting 22 properties that were placed on a waitlist until inspections were completed. All but three have been vetted by building inspectors. Four properties still have unresolved issues. “Properties that are identified need to be inspected again. Some of these issues were fixed after property main-

Boat ramp bid under $1.5 million estimate original estimation of $1.5 million, including property acquisitions and design costs. “Actually, all three bids were substantially below the estimate,” McGean said. The two other companies, Hi-Tide Marine Construction of Ocean City and Rehak Contracting LLC of Baltimore submitted bids $980,775 and $1.6 million, respectively. However, the resort will not see recognized savings for selecting the lowest bid, as the project was mostly funded by the state. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources offered Ocean City a $815,000 grant for the project. “Of that amount, $500,000 was designated to dredge the waters. The actual cost of that was $130,000.

It took city staff two weeks to evaluate the three bids before recommending the local company. Murtech offer was thousands under City Engineer Terry McGean’s

state about using the remaining funds for creating a large channel at the boat ramp, but it looks doubtful we could leverage that,” McGean said. The resort has freed up $750,000 from what was borrowed in the 2012 bond issuance, which could cover the bid cost. The ramp will be built in approximately 10 months’ time, alleviating some pressure on the city’s only public access boat launch in Little Salisbury. That facility was constructed decades ago, before the neighborhood was fully established. Now that the residential area is booming, the ramp’s location has created issues
with boat trailers cluttering the streets. City officials have been planning to build a new public boat access point for years, but was delayed by purchasing the surrounding property. Ocean City bought the land behind the Rick’s Market shopping center after initiating condemnation proceedings in 2010. The parcel cost $5.1 million. It also took some time to obtain a segment of land, which is mostly underwater, behind Dead Freddies. The owner refused to sell, but then stuck a deal with the restaurant. Dead Freddies then transferred the land to the resort in 2014.
Bad Monkey small addition requires parking expansion Commission signs off on storage space, old building to be torn down for spaces
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Bad Monkey Bar & Grill will be expanding its parking lot and tearing down portions of a long-vacant office in the process. The Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan to add a 600-square-foot storage addition to Bad Monkey on 58th Street during its Tuesday, May 3 session. Although the new space will be primarily used to stow refrigeration equipment, Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith said the restaurant will need to add one new parking space per 100 square feet. “The city code states that parking depends on gross square foot, regardless of what you use it for,” Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith said. “600 square feet is six new spots.” The parking expansion will be placed at the former site of Atlantic Dental Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, which moved to West Ocean City
several years ago. “The way the office had the parking, there was spaces on the left, not on the right. Now as you go in, there will be parking on both sides. They’re removing some of the grass there and there would be some demolition,” Smith said. Two rows of spaces will be installed, and can be accessed from 58th Street. The rest of the building would remain. A ramp on the old dental office will also be removed. If Bad Monkey owner John Fager wanted to make the office building usable again, he would need to start a new zoning process. However, Smith was doubtful that would be the course Fager wants to take. “I think the plan is to raze the building, but that’s not right now,” he told the committee members. With the conditions that the site be made presentable and the storage addition matches the rest of the property, the commission gave the project its support. “Apparently the restaurant has been very successful, and this will also add some public parking,” Smith said.

Town pushes sign conformity back six years Downtown advertisements standing in OC right-of-way must be relocated by 2022
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) The Ocean City Council found itself in a familiar position at Tuesday’s work session — granting another grace period on the resort’s sign restrictions. Last year, the council decided to enact new sign requirements that targeted the downtown area by June 5, 2016. With the deadline looming, however, the council decided to push the implementation date back to November 2022, giving people six years to adjust. The city staff recommended six years since the timing would coincide
with the Ocean City Development Corporation’s downtown development plan. “The success of the sign regulations is to protect the character of what was already in place years ago and making sure it couldn’t get worse with noncompliant signs and the [proliferation] of them,” said Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville. Exactly 10 years ago, the city adopted comprehensive downtown redevelopment regulations to regulate signs’ size and height. That ordinance limits free-standing signs to 150 square feet in surface area and to 40 feet tall. Some of signs were allowed to remain because of a grandfather clause, but were to be brought into conformity by 2016. In the meantime, however, a glaring problem began to occur on Balti-

more Avenue from Third Street to 15th Street: business signs began popping up in the city’s right-of-way. Although it may not look like it, that right-of-way is 75 feet wide, but only 44 feet is the actual road. The road and sidewalks also meander to various degrees, leaving odd-shaped areas that were years ago put to use as lawns or driveways. Legally, those segments are part of the public street. Altogether, 60 non-compliant, ill placed or unpermitted signs dot the stretch from Third Street to 17th Street. To give the business owners some leeway, the council agreed last June that they should be given six months’ notice before the policies went into effect. According to city staff, that letter was not sent because the Planning and Zoning department was dealing with other projects and internal issues. Some officials, such as Councilman Tony DeLuca, thought that the ordinance looked too far into the future and should consider short-term consequences. “Ten years ago, there was decision to phase out non-conforming signs, and now we’re moving it to six years. It’s like we keep kicking the can,” DeLuca said. “Those that are unpermitted should be dealt with immediately and those that are unsafe should be handled quickly. The rest, I think we can give them a shorter period of time rather than six years.” Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith said few signs have caused visibility problems and were not serious enough to alert the city. “I’ve never heard of an occurrence where signs have created an issue, and we’ve would’ve heard about it way back. The non-conforming signs have been the primary issue,” he said. The council briefly considered
staggering implementation across downtown, but Councilman Dennis Dare warned the council that it would cause discontent with businesses. “One thing I found that if you’re uniform and fair, they understand that,” Dare said. “It’s ironic to change the signs [immediately] to improve the appearance when the streets don’t look so good. I think we can put off the signs… especially since there’s a project in the future.” The council agreed to extend the deadline to move signs in Baltimore Avenue’s right-of-way by a 4-2 vote with DeLuca and Councilman Wayne Hartman dissenting. Councilman Doug Cymek was absent. In a separate motion, the council agreed that all signs should conform to design standards by 2022. Signs without a permit will be removed based on the Planning and Community Development Department’s procedures. If signs are deemed unsafe, a grace period of six months will be triggered before they need to be fixed. Other conditions included the removal of rooftop signs in 18 months. Repeating his recommendation from a year earlier, Mayor Rick Meehan suggested that property owners be sent a letter informing them of the new deadlines. “In that letter, we need to be specific that the council has granted the extension at the request of property owners and OCDC. Our goal is to bring things into conformity, but to work with our local business owners,” Meehan said to Neville and Smith. Meehan also offered one other piece of advice: give the city staff and council two years’ notice so they have the opportunity to study the sign policy. “I think it’s important to bring this back to the 2022 council to look at the progress and then take the appropriate actions,” he said.

Ocean City purchases new radio for $5.4M Contract includes app, new transmitter sites, but does not replace fire alert system
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2017) After months of negotiations, the Ocean City Council has signed a $5.4 million contract with Eastern Communications Ltd. to replace its decades-old radio system. The city staff has been waiting to see a new system installed, and some departments will still have to wait a few years for it. According to officials, the radio upgrade languished for three years in the unfunded projects category until the manufacturer Harris Corporation announced it would no longer be providing parts for the system by 2018.

committee decided not to include the alert in the core upgrade before fully evaluating its needs. As the current system stands, a person would have to issue a dispatch to a firehouse. “It’s different technology than we have, with computer servers, network requirements and automatic alerts,” he said. “It was deemed a standalone project. The upgrade may cost from $500,000 to $700,000.” The City Council agreed to fund the $5.4 million for just the core radio system in a 6-0 vote, with Councilman Doug Cymek absent. Within the $5.4 million, roughly $200,000 would be spent on the SCADA protocol and $167,000 for change orders. Funding for the radio system would be covered through a combination of a 10-year capital lease and using revenue from radio antenna rentals. The antenna rentals will generate an estimated $819,000 by the end of the year. “That will pay for the five percent down [payment] and the lease payments for fiscal year 2017,” said Finance Administrator Martha Bennett. “Every year after that, since we’re not initially purchasing radios, we would have about $400,000 for lease payments from the rentals.” The lease payments would be See INSTALLATION Page 19

POLICE/COURTS
Sobriety checkpoint The Maryland State Police joined forces with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Berlin Police Department and the Maryland State Highway Administration to conduct a sobriety checkpoint on Friday, May 6. Police stopped motorists between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. on westbound Route 50 by Hall Road. The state police reported that 460 vehicles were contacted during the sobriety campaign. In total, five drivers were given field sobriety tests. Of those singled out for testing, three were arrested for DUI, with one person also charged with possession of marijuana under 10 grams. Arrested during the sobriety checkpoint were Katie Jones, 25, of Berlin; Jose Mejia-Osorio, 41, from Georgetown, Delaware; Rebecca SchmidtBoyd, 23, of Salisbury.
Motorcycle mashup Two Salisbury residents were involved in a collision while riding motorcycles on Saturday, May 7 at approximately 11:10 p.m. in the area of westbound Route 50 and Ocean Gateway at Friendship Road. State Police report that a 1985 Harley, operated by George Hipsley, 45, was traveling west when it rearended a 1997 Harley, driven by Robert Hickey Jr., 59. Hipsley, who was the most seriously injured, was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore due to the severity of his wounds. Hickey was treated for injuries and cleared by medical personnel to leave the scene. Police reported that they detected the presence of alcohol coming from both parties. In response, Hickey was arrested and charged with DUI. He was subsequently taken to the MSP Berlin barracks. The DUI investigation is under say with charges pending.
Knife-wielding man Claude Adkins, Jr., 42, of Salisbury, was arrested on May 1 for first-degree assault after he brandished a knife during a domestic argument. The incident occurred in Ocean Pines and Adkins faces half a dozen charges, including one count of firstdegree assault, two counts of seconddegree assault, one count of using a deadly weapon with intent to injure,
one count of disorderly conduct and one count of reckless endangerment. Adkins was released on $10,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing set for May 26 at 9 a.m. in Snow Hill.
Trump stunner Ocean City Police intervened and confiscated a stun gun after observing a man aggressively chasing another at the conclusion of the Donald Trump rally on April 20 at Stephen Decatur High School. Police said that after the event’s conclusion an officer heard what sounded like a stun gun being activated and then saw one subject aiming the weapon at another male who was attempting to flee. According to the police report, the subject’s actions indicated he intended to deploy the weapon. Once targeted by police, the subject submitted to a search that, in addition to the stun gun, uncovered a canister of pepper spray. Police noticed the pepper spray appeared to be recently used as they observed fresh pepper spray remnants on the nozzle area. Although police did not see the subject engage the pepper spray, several people in the parking lot outside of the rally complained of symptoms, most notably burning eyes and throat, consistent with exposure to pepper spray. During the search police also discovered the suspect was wearing bulletproof body armor and was in possession of police-style handcuffs.
Benjamin Campbell, 26, of Waverly, Virginia, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for marijuana possession following a fender bender on May 6. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Jamestown Road and Coastal Highway. Police said a vehicle was waiting at the stoplight on Jamestown Road and was rear-ended by a second vehicle. Neither driver suffered injuries. During a routine check on the driver’s identities, police found discovered that Campbell had an outstanding warrant for cannabis possession issued by the U.S. Marshall’s Office. A subsequent search yielded a small amount of cannabis. In addition, he was issued traffic citations for failure to control speed to avoid a collision and following too closely.
Installation will take up to two years, starting this fall Continued from Page 18 roughly $630,000. “With the revenue stream and our ability to pay for radios, an equipment lease would be the best mechanism to fund this purchase,” she said.

Foster Parents of the Year open hearts, home High school sweethearts focus on helping children by providing temporary safe haven for kids suffering abuse, neglect
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Katrina Mason understands charity begins at home. Mason and her spouse, Tracy, were recently recognized as Worcester County 2016 Foster Parents of the Year. “It’s something we’ve collectively wanted to do forever,” she said. “We’ve been together for about 15 years and married for about two and a half.” The high school sweethearts, and Worcester County natives, were amazed at the streamlined process they encountered when they first checked into becoming foster parents more than a year ago. “People think foster care is a lot more difficult to get qualified for,” she said. “Social services are always looking for more families and more diverse families.” Before they were able to accept children into their home, the couple took fostering classes. “It changed our mentality,” she said. “Before we knew it we had our first kid.” Foster care programs exist in all Maryland counties and Baltimore City. The state Department of Human Resources website describes the program as a temporary service for short-term care and support of children unable to remain home because of abuse or neglect issues. Among other points, what their pre-fostering homework brought to light was that participants fell into two camps. “Some people exclusively want to foster, but we want to foster to adopt,” she said. “We’re human, so selfishly we would love to keep these kids.”

‘We fell in love with him the first time and he’s always been that one kid we couldn’t stop thinking about. In the event he did need adopting, we would jump’ Foster parent Katrina Mason Despite their parental yearnings, what the classes imparted to the couple was the importance of appropriate focus. “It’s not about you, it’s about the kids,” she said. “The most vital thing is consistency.” To this end, foster care caseworkers solicit both birth and foster families to develop a permanency plan for the child. While reunification with parents is the ideal scenario, placement with relatives or adoption are also options. While the Mason’s have opened their home to a total of eight young people over the last year, a return visit from a now two-year-old boy continues be the most soul-wrenching. “In the beginning, when we first got him last summer, he was removed from his mother’s care and it was suppose to be a respite,” she said. “It ended up being two months.” Social services offers short-term, or respite, care for families of caregivers of children with disabilities or chronic health issues. “His mom was at a place where she couldn’t care for him and his siblings,” she said. More recently, continued challenges for the biological mother caused the young boy to land back
with the Masons. Although the toddler’s long-term home life remains uncertain, to maintain some degree of consistency, the three moms meet regularly. “He sees her once a week,” she said. “We want them to continue to have this connection.” While there is innocence in youth, as a non-traditional household, the couple was initially apprehensive about welcoming a 17-year-old foster child into their abode. All told the Masons provided physical and psychological nourishment for the young person for about half a year. “The teenager said it was awesome,” she said. “These kids have two moms, so it’s two times the love.” She laughed while recalling her 2year-old foster child’s maternal grammatical delineation. “His biological mother is “mommy,”” she said. “He immediately called us mom and momma.” While heartwarming moments are in abundance, foster parents often experience a bittersweet undercurrent. Tipping the age scales to one extreme, the couple lent care to an 11day-old infant born to a drug-addicted mother. Unlike many traits passed from parent to child,

there are no redeeming qualities to health problems stemming from hard drug use. “The tiniest, cutest, most perfect kid,” she said. “You’re seeing all his first everything. There are so many milestones so quickly.” Eventually the newborn was taken out of foster care, which was emotionally trying for the couple, who formed a bond watching the baby steps of the child’s life develop. “When he went home, it was devastating,” she said. “We are too attached to every single one of them. Once they leave, you fall apart, but you build yourself back up.” Focusing on her current pledge, while the couple would be happy to make the arrangement permanent, Mason said the ultimate goal remains reuniting the boy with his biological mother. “We fell in love with him the first time and he’s always been that one kid we couldn’t stop thinking about,” she said. “In the event he did need adopting, we would jump.” Mason makes little distinction on the youth’s origin. “This is not my foster care son, this is my son,” she said. “If we had a biological child we would treat them the exact same way.”

SH ecotourism market barely tapped Summit dives deep into southern Worcester, with advocates touting potential
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (May 13, 2016) A room full of tourism advocates, economic development professionals, business owners, officials, consultants and interested parties first had to come to a conclusion: none of them had seen it all. A program offered by Conservation Community Consulting, funded through a combination of grants and the Town of Snow Hill, brought everyone together for two days last week with the goal of developing an eco-tourism marketing strategy for the town. The two-day seminar gathered together local stakeholders to discuss the opportunities in the county seat area. These experts knew what they knew — but didn’t know what they didn’t know. “Today was amazing,” Jim Rapp, half of the Conservation Community Consultants team, said. “All we did was get all the stakeholders together and jumped on a bus. We weren’t on the road more than four hours. Many of us thought we’d seen it all, but it quickly became apparent we haven’t really begun to tap into the market.” Each site — no more than 20 minutes by car from Snow Hill — had something to offer. “I had no idea there were 50 miles of connected trails in the Pocomoke State Forest, for example,” Rapp said. Shad Landing, Public Landing, Furnace Town and the area’s boat launches each had something new to offer to at least one participant. “We looked at all those –ing words tourism folks love: hiking, boating, fishing, biking, horseback riding — if we learned one thing today it was

The summit focused on the areas within a 20minute car ride from the county seat, and most participants said they learned something new about untapped resources in the area.
about horseback riding,” he said. Mike Scholfield, manager of the Chesapeake and Pocomoke State forests, said Furnace Town has become a hotspot for horse trailers. He said there were about 20 trailers parked just last weekend. “Utilization is up because of online maps and websites. We have lots of partners in mountain biking and equestrian hobbies — the word has gotten out,” Schofield said. And then there’s the Pocomoke River. “The Pocomoke is almost always paddle-able,” Rapp said. “Over on the bay side it takes more skill, but you can explore two completely different ecosystems within about 20 minutes of each other. That doesn’t happen everywhere.” Also, the river offers a host of other opportunities. “There’s no other river on the shore you can paddle for days without ever having to drive a car,” Rapp said. Adventure campers could be drawn to the area, he explained, by leveraging the volume of protected lands, some 40,000 acres in southern Worcester alone, nearly all of which are accessible from the Pocomoke River. Paddling a boat can be its own reward, but there are other activities available that, to locals, can appear

It kept going and going and going. Frankly, it wore me out,” Michael Day, the town’s economic development consultant, said. Lisa Challenger, Worcester County tourism director, was similarly surprised. “For me, it was very energizing to see new things I wasn’t aware of, and things I was aware of but hadn’t seen. Now I have lots of ideas on how to promote these natural opportunities,” she said. Wilson said he was invigorated by the diversity of the participants. “I think what was really nice to see all our tourism folks here — from Sussex County, Snow Hill townspeople, the Deputy Director of Economic Development for Worcester County, John Azzolini as examples. It’s a really nice mix,” he said. “There are lots of opportunities to sell Snow Hill really well. There’s lots of mix and match.”

Cost of median lighting, barrier about $5M Resort mayor and council had been eyeing upgrade after pedestrian accidents By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Although the start date hasn’t been set for the Coastal Highway median project, the State Highway Administration has calculated how much it will cost Ocean City. SHA representatives estimated the project, which includes installing LED lighting and a pedestrian barrier between 62nd Street and Convention Center Drive, would cost $5.2 million dollars. According to Public Works Director Hal Adkins, the barrier itself, which is designed to look like a sand dune fence, will cost $1.6 million.
“Based on conversations between the SHA, there’s not funding for this yet, but there will be this summer,” Adkins said during this week’s Transportation Commission meeting. “But they’re still going ahead with the design right now.” While that seems costly, the mayor and City Council have been kicking around the idea of reconfiguring the midtown median strip after a string of pedestrian accidents plagued the resort. State studies show that the 13block stretch is the most dangerous area to cross, since popular bars line that segment. Installing fencing and shrubbery would deter jaywalkers and the LED lights would increase visibility on the streets. Adkins, along with other city officials, met with SHA representatives in Salisbury to discuss the median proj-
ect design and some minor adjustments the council suggested back in April. In response to Councilman Dennis Dare’s concerns that the fence would not cover emergency crossovers, depressions in the median where firstresponders can make swift U-turns, the SHA confirmed that they would be renovated, as well as covered. “The depressions would be ripped out and elevated curbing would be put in. It would look like the median never had those depressions in the first place,” Adkins said. “They’re also envisioning a mat finish on the fence to minimize reflectivity.” Other project items that were discussed at the meeting was the LED cobra-head lighting. Instead of keeping the lights at 49th and 54th crosswalks, the state will remove those and
install their own to keep a uniform light pattern. Ocean City’s Recreation and Parks Department was also present to be heard on the types of vegetation that would survive on the median strip. The median project will also extend the northbound left turn lane on 52nd Street by approximately 120 feet to avoid creating long lines of cars. “It’s heavily used for people making a U-Turn to Seacrets. That’s the maximum we can extend it without causing problems with the crosswalk,” Adkins said. In a few weeks the council will have its biannual meeting with SHA representatives during a work session, where they can ask their own questions about the design. Adkins also suggested using that time to get the gears turning for the project’s future expansion through the city. “Take this opportunity to talk with them to continue with the next steps,” he said to the councilmembers on the commission. “The next implementation would be from the convention center to 26th Street. Phase three would be from 26th to 9th Street, and then we’d turn around and head north. “Let’s keep this on an annual roll,” he added. “I have the suspicion that you will have the support from the State Highway Administration if you keep going.”
County collects tons of old tires on Drop Off Day
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Worcester County Public Works collected more than 67 tons of material during the Agricultural Scrap Tire Drop Off day held in February. The results were reported during a county commissioners meeting on May 3 by John Tustin, county public works director, who said the collection day was a joint effort between his department, the county recycling division, the Maryland Farm Bureau and the Maryland Environmental Service. The event, which was only open to Maryland Farm Bureau members, was held at the Worcester Recycling Center on Mill Haven Road, Berlin on Feb. 20. Tustin reported approximately 1,900 farm and truck tires, equaling 67.31 tons, were collected in a single day. The cost to dispose of the mountain of rubber was $17,164, which Tustin said would be reimbursed to the county by the Maryland Environmental Service.

County finalizes bid specs for revamped Girdletree pier By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Although support was not unanimous, the Worcester County Commissioners approved bid specifications for a revamped and expanded fishing and crabbing pier in Girdletree during its meeting on May 3. John Tustin, director of public works, said the Taylor Landing Boat Ramp, at a cost of more than $36,000, was largely funded in the fiscal year 2016 operating budget. The scope of work includes constructing a 10-foot-by-40-foot wooden pier and a connecting 60foot ADA-compliant wooden walkway for access from an adjacent parking lot. There will be a pre-bid meeting and work site inspection on May 18 at 10 a.m. when the project’s scope and bid documents will be reviewed. Sealed bids will be accepted until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31. The timeline for completion is 90 days after work begins. To move forward with the wetlands-related project, the county applied for and received approval from the Maryland Water Management
Administration. Federal approval from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is also required, which Tustin said is imminent. The Maryland Department of the Environment concluded the project complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with state’s Coastal Zone Management Program, a requirement of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. Construction contracts will not be awarded until all permits are obtained Commissioners Joe Mitrecic and Jim Bunting voted against the budget allocation. In a phone interview, Mitrecic said he appreciates that local residents have warm memories of using the pier, which previously had a wooden bulkhead that was replaced with stone rip rap, but noted there are other options nearby. “I’m not sure it’s a wise use of county funds,” he said. Any questions should be submitted in writing by May 25, 2 p.m. to Ken Whited, county maintenance supervisor at kenwhited@co.worcester.md.us.
Heroin dealer convicted of manslaughter after OD death Staff report (May 13, 2016) Robert Skinkle, 26, of Berlin, was convicted of manslaughter, distribution of heroin, possession of heroin and reckless endangerment for selling the drugs that led to the overdose death of Christopher Taylor, the State’s Attorney’s Office reported Wednesday. Calling it “an easy decision,” Judge Thomas Groton III found Skinkle guilty on all counts, including those relating to the use of the illicit substance after it had left his possession. “Education will continue to be a key to deterring new users, but new
and unique approaches to solving this issue have to be imagined,” State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby said in a release. “This verdict sends a clear and unmistakable message to drug dealers – if you choose to profit from the misery and suffering of others we will find you, and should the unthinkable tragedy of a fatal overdose occur because of your sale, expect a knock on your door with an arrest warrant for manslaughter.” The matter is currently pending a pre-sentence investigation, and a sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) While Maryland has strengthened its laws on Uber’s operations in-state, there’s not much Ocean City law enforcement can do to unlicensed and out-of-state drivers. During Monday’s Police Commission meeting, resort officials examined the legislation the General Assembly passed earlier this year that regulates employees for the transportation network company through rigorous background checks before receiving a permit. Starting on April 1, potential Uber drivers have to pass a multi-state, multi-jurisdictional records search, a national and the U.S. Department of Justice sex offender and crimes against minors background check. All Uber operators must be licensed through the Public Service Commission to work in Maryland. “It’s more comprehensive than ever before. The language is more restrictive, and it used to be up to Uber who has a permit,” said Police Chief Ross Buzzuro. The downside to this new process is that there is no physical permit issued to drivers, or any other symbol to put on the Uber vehicle. Because there’s no hard copy of the license, it will be nearly impossible to figure out which vehicles are allowed to pick up fares. “There’s no way to know if someone truly does have a permit,” said OCPD Records Section Manager and taxi program coordinator Michelle Monico. “The only way to know that information is through a court order.” At this point, restrictions on who
can and can’t drive for Uber depend on the state, and sometimes the municipalities. In Austin, Texas, constituents voted to require drivers be fingerprinted, resulting in the company pulling out of that city. City Solicitor Guy Ayres pointed out that Texas could have other preemptive measures in place, unlike Maryland’s application process. “Uber sold Maryland a bill of goods and they fell for it, hook, line and sinker. If you’re an out-of-state driver and only here for a couple of weeks and want to earn a little money, we’ll never know if they’re licensed or not. Supposedly, Uber is not going to accept fares from unlicensed drivers, but I don’t know how that works in the real world,” he said. There is no way to determine how many out-of-state Uber drivers are operating in Ocean City. The resort gets a 25 cents fee for every fare in a check, and the first installment from Uber was approximately $400. Crunching the numbers, that means about 1,200 fares, a low number for a highly-populated summer spot. “We have to find out what we can do to fix this,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “In three months, the [Public Service Commission] can receive a request, but they can start and June and leave by September and not be denied.” While Uber drivers are picking up patrons without a permit, the Ocean City Police Department can find a legal recourse to reprimand them in the meantime. OCPD Captain Kevin Kirstein said that officers would not be likely to randomly check Uber driver’s credentials, they could be cited for traffic violations. “For the ones on the highway it would be very easy, because they might be in violation for illegal stops. Once they turn on side streets, it’s a little more questionable,” he said.
Worcester women invite public to ‘meet and greet’ Two commissions join up to host event spotlighting community organization (May 13, 2016) The Worcester County Commission for Women and The Friends of the Commission will meet on Tuesday, May 17 from 5-7 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Library located at 11107 Cathell Road.

Commissioners spend sess. slashing budget County officials consider FY17 requests, biggest cut in Sheriff’s Office finances
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) The County Commissioners dug deep to trim dollars from the fiscal year 2017 operating budget requests at a work session on Tuesday and are within about $200,000 of balancing the books. The largest cuts came from the Sheriff’s Office, which had requested six new officers, but, following some discussion, will now get three. Noting there has not been a population increase in Worcester, Commissioner Ted Elder proposed authorizing two new hires. Commissioner Bud Church countered that several officers are out on
long-term disability and aren’t likely to return. “I would recommend cutting it to four,” he said. Splitting the difference, Mitrecic proposed three additions. “There is always the possibility of a collective bargaining group being put together, and we certainly don’t want to do that,” he said. In addition, $3,800 was cut from the sheriff’s requests for bicycle supplies, camera equipment and incinerator fuel costs. Another area handled by the Sheriff’s Office, animal control, lost $2,700 in requests for rabies clinics and spay and neuter programs. A big reduction in the sheriff’s budget involved vehicle purchases. The department had asked for eight vehicles at a cost of $452,846. This
figure was reduced to $330,395. The commissioners also debated the merits of reducing the roads department’s allowance for blacktop, which was cut in half to $1 million. Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw spoke out against the cost-cutting measure. “At one time we had the best roads around,” he said. “We need to look at putting more money back into this account.” Commissioner Bud Church said he wants see the final budget numbers before agreeing to the cut for blacktop materials. Noting that road repairs are typically not undertaken during summer tourist season was Mitrecic, who agreed the funding cut would be problematic. “We’re definitely not going to catch up at a million dollars,” he
said. On a minor note, an additional $6,000 was cut from roads for sign materials, street striping paint, as well as tools and supplies. From its own budget, the commissioners knocked $2,700 from office supplies and telephone costs. The Circuit Court budget saw $6,700 cut from its request for travel and training reimbursement as well as the court reporter budget. Likewise, the State’s Attorneys’ budget request was reduced by $6,000 and the Treasurer’s Office lost $4,000. General government expenses were cut by $11,000, with savings found in office supplies and postage costs and the county jail budget was trimmed by $18,000, with cuts in supplies, equipment and inmate hospital costs.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) If you’re looking for a place to talk local politics, or to blow off some steam about this year’s presidential race, then it’s time to start drinking liberally in West Ocean City. Since 2013, Drinking Liberally, a discussion forum-social group, has invited Ocean City residents to share ideas about the current political landscape of Worcester County and the nation. While there are several Republican and Democratic community groups in the county, Drinking Liberally sets itself apart from the rest by remaining relaxed about its member’s political ideologies. “This is a place where we can share progressive ideas in a fun way,” said Drinking Liberally organizer Joan Roache. “Being liberal is having a core of beliefs. It’s more than just belonging to the Democratic Party. You could be in the green party, the socialist party or no party at all.” Drinking Liberally is one of the many programs organized through the grassroots movement Living Liberally. Other programs under this network include Laughing Liberally, Eating Liberally, Screening Liberally and Reading Liberally, and are spread out across the nation. Roache first heard about Drinking Liberally on a podcast and thought it was something Ocean City needed. She said it would be a fun way to meet people with various political viewpoints and have an easygoing conversation. “There’s a prevalence of Republicans down here now, so people don’t like to talk about politics. But it’s nice to know there’s a community of liberal-minded people here,” she said. At first Drinking Liberally met once a month at alternating restaurants in Ocean City. But when the resort venues became too crowded in the summer, the group moved to the Lighthouse Sound in Bishopville. Recently, Drinking Liberally settled down at the West Ocean City Bottle Shop. Depending on the weather conditions and the time of year, the local organization’s participant numbers

fluctuate between 15 and 33 people. “It’s a loose organization, and there’s no obligation to go with it. All you do is have a drink and drinking is not a lot of work,” Roache said. In addition to the changing location, Roache said that the group’s conversations during events have also changed in the last three years. Since Worcester County is often represented by Republican candidates, Drinking Liberally’s talks now reflect the area’s conservative policies. ‘There was a time where we had conservative Democrats elected to local office, and over time they might have switched parties or other Republican candidates were voted in,” she said. ‘There’s a lot of frustration over it, particularly low voter turnout since the Democratic Party often has trouble with the off-elections. “In a recent election, Obama had won in a polling station in Pocomoke. But in the year when there wasn’t a presidential race, local Republican candidates won,” she added. “People just don’t feel that connected to local politicians.” Since its members subscribe to various political ideologies, Drinking Liberally does not explicitly endorse candidates. One of the few outreach initiatives the group recently participated in is inviting young liberals to a meeting to encourage early voting for the state primaries. That event was coordinated by the Worcester County Maryland Democratic Central Committee and the Democratic Women of Worcester County. According to Roache, who is also the cotreasurer of the Democratic Women, there’s a lot of overlap between the local party community organizations. “There’s women involved in Democratic Women and come to Drinking Liberally. But they have concentrated efforts to engage the youth, to get people out to the polls and other programs,” she said. “We have more of a relaxing atmosphere where we just enjoy the social camaraderie.” Drinking Liberally meets on the first Thursday of each month from 5 - 7 p.m. in the West Ocean City Bottle Shop.

Coastal Hospice earns national recognition Elite award given by Deyta Analytics based on patients’ families feedback results (May 13, 2016) Coastal Hospice has been recognized for excellence, as reported by the families of patients in its care. Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREfirst, named Coastal Hospice a recipient of the 2016 Hospice Honors Elite Award in April during the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Management Leadership Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
Hospice Honors recognizes hospices nationwide that provide the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view. Deyta Analytics surveys families and caregivers of patients after their passing to evaluate the quality of the hospice services they received. They choose the recipients of the Hospice Honors Awards by evaluating the hospice’s performance on a set of 24 quality indicators and comparing the results to all partnering hospices in the nationwide Deyta Analytics database. “Hospice Honors is a landmark compilation of hospices that pro-
vide the best patient and caregiver experiences,” said Bobby Robertson, president and CEO of HEALTHCAREfirst. “I am extremely proud of Coastal Hospice for achieving this highest of honors, and I congratulate them on their success.” “Receiving an award based on the opinions of the families we serve is the highest honor we can achieve,” said Alane Capen, president of Coastal Hospice. “Our mission is to provide the best medical care in the most compassionate way to the patients in our service, and it is rewarding to hear that our
families feel we are fulfilling that mission.” Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties. Information is available at 410-742-8732 or at www.CoastalHospice.org.

West Ocean City parcel by harbor rezoned commercial
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) A request for the reversal of a 2009 zoning change for a threeplus acre parcel near the West Ocean City Harbor was approved last Tuesday by the Worcester County Commissioners. The undeveloped 3.45-acre tract on the west side of Golf Course Road, just north of Sunset Avenue, was classified as a R-3 Multi-Family Residential District during the 2009 comprehensive rezoning. Attorney Hugh Cropper, representing property owners GCR Development, asked the commissioners to correct the zoning “mistake” and reclassify the land as a C-2 General Commercial District. “We are asking to go back to pre-2009 and put it back where it should have been,” he said. Cropper said the property, which has
extensive wetlands on its westerly and northerly portions, was classified as a M1 Light Industrial District when zoning was established in the mid-1960s. This was primarily because of the land’s proximity to West Ocean City Harbor. That was updated during the 1992 comprehensive rezoning to a B-2 General Business District classification. Cropper said the property was part of a larger parcel that had been subdivided for development, but that the projects planned by subsequent owners never materialized. A part of the situation is that the wetlands on the parcel’s periphery made extensive development impractical. Cropper presented his arguments to the Worcester County Planning Commission in March, with the commission finding in his favor a month later.

Smith is a dean’s list student who is taking the prerequisite courses necessary to enter Wor-Wic’s nursing program.

OBITUARIES HERBERT JOHN SCHOELLKOPF, JR. Ocean City Herbert John Schoellkopf, Jr., known to most as Herb, and also as “the Old Pro,” passed away peacefully of natural causes, May 5, 2016 at age 95 surrounded by his family. He was a loving and well-loved family man, a hardworking businessman with great creativity and imagination, a very patriotic veteran, and a playful man who loved athletics, music, tropical travel, scuba diving, humor and dancing. Of his many sayings and mottos his standout advice to all was “work hard, play hard.” He was generous in many ways, and was especially supportive of organizations that serve those with disabilities. He was born in Camden, New Jersey on May 4, 1921 to Herbert John, Sr. and Helen Sturr Schoellkopf. As a child he lived through the Depression, in which his family was hit very hard. He attended Camden High, where he was a track star who ran on the winning mile relay team in the Penn Relays in 1938 and 1939. He attended Guilford College as an undergraduate, interrupted by several years in the Army during WWII, where he served in the Pacific as an officer in a medical evacuation corps, served in New Guinea and the Philippines, and participated in the occupation of Japan. He was honorably discharged as a captain, and returned
Herbert John Schoellkopf, Jr.
to college where he earned many varsity letters including football, basketball and track. He graduated in 1948 with a degree in Physical Education. Following that, he received his Masters in Education with a minor in Business from the University of North Carolina, coached college athletics and taught for a couple of years, then moved back to South Jersey in 1950, where he began a career in family entertainment that lasted the rest of his life. In this career, he built over 150 miniature golf courses and amusement centers, and gradually came to

own and operate as many as 20 locations along the East Coast. He raised his family between Cherry Hill, New Jersey and Ocean City, Maryland, moving full time to Ocean City in the early 80’s. He is legendary in the history of miniature golf for developing fantastically imaginative and highly themed courses, with animated figures, and dynamic large scale features including waterfalls, pirate ships, dinosaurs, volcanoes, castles, temples, undersea worlds, and treehouse villages. He also pioneered the development of indoor themed courses. He was a big fan of Walt Disney, and he loved his concept of “Imagineering.” By the early 80’s, he consolidated his business to the four Old Pro Golf locations in Ocean City, that continue to be operated by his family, and of which he remained active as president to his final day. Herb was very blessed with two wonderful spouses in his life. He was predeceased by his first wife, Aileen Belton “Deany” Schoellkopf, of Winston Salem, North Carolina, whom he met in college, married in 1950, and who passed away too soon in 1988 at the age of 60. He is survived by Judy Johnson Schoellkopf, his loving wife of the last 25 years. He was predeceased by his three siblings, Robert and Dorothy Gahm and June Baldwin, who all lived into their 90s. He is survived by his children, Jeff and his wife, Beth, Rick, Nancy and her husband, David Coats, and Scott and his partner, Maria Cerrato; his daughter-in-law, Rene Schoellkopf; Judy’s daughters, Stephanie Johnson and her husband, Alfredo, and Christy Crow and her husband, Jeff; and grandchildren, Carson, Brin and Aidan Schoellkopf of Warren, Vermont; Celia and Roxana Coats of Raleigh, North Carolina; Sam, Luke and Lila, of Berlin; Quincy Crow of Indianapolis, and Elson Schoellkopf of Ocean City. The Schoellkopf family would like to thank all of the many doctors who cared for him over his adventurous and eventful life, and particularly the extremely caring staff at AGH during
his last short time there on the day of his peaceful passing. A memorial celebration will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24 at Fager’s Island on 60th Street in Ocean City, following a private family burial in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in his name to the AGH Foundation in Berlin, the American Cancer Society, or the WWII Museum in New Orleans. Letters of condolence may be sent to the family at www.burbagefuneralhome.com. EDWARD CHARLES STOTZ Berlin Edward Charles Stotz of Berlin, formerly of Rockville, Maryland, died April 30, 2016 surrounded by his loving family. He was 87 years old. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy O’Riley Stotz, who he married in 1992. Edward was predeceased by his first wife, Dorothy T. Stotz, of Rockville, Maryland, to whom he was married for 32 years. He was born in Montague City, Massachusetts to Edward and Florence (Huntoon) Stotz, and led a full and successful life. He was a star athlete at Turners Falls High School playing football, baseball and running track, having graduated in 1946. He attended Northfield Mount Hermon School in Gill, Massachusetts and played football at Syracuse University. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1951, with a degree in electrical engineering. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy and had a successful career with Vitro Corporation where he worked on the Tomahawk Cruise Missile and the Gemini Space Program. The highlight of his career was a four-year tour in La Spezia, Italy from 1968 to 1972. He was a loyal family man and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, especially enjoying the activities and sports of his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved golfing, reading, crossword puzzles and cheering his favorite sports teams, the Boston Red Continued on Page 36

Longtime local restaurateurs Ernie Emerson and Victoria Volpe will be offering customers their trademark fresh crabs, fish, shrimp and mussels with a new business in northern Ocean City. But to set themselves apart from their old venture, Captain Ernie’s and other seafood stores, they’re trying something a little different: a delivery service. “It’s for people who really want a bushel of crabs in peak season, but since traffic is so bad, they don’t want to go out and get it,” Volpe said. Victoria’s will have a handful of drivers on hand to deliver orders to homes. When it opens, the restaurant will only deliver to customers between 45th and 120th streets who order crabs and some side dishes. “We’re learning as we go, and some of our friends are helping out with deliveries. Who knows, it could expand the whole 10 miles [of the island] in the future,” she said. Aside from ordering in, customers can walk right off the beach and chose items from Victoria’s extensive See RESTAURANT Page 40
Liquid Assets wins Wine and Beverage Program of the Year By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) During the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s Stars of the Industry awards gala on May 1, Liquid Assets took home Wine and Beverage Program of the Year honors at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel. The 94th Street establishment also won the award in 2009. “This represents our dedication to our passion. We are constantly trying to improve and challenge ourselves to deliver a higher level of product and service,” Liquid Assets owner John Trader stated in a press release. “I am so very thankful for our staff’s efforts and this incredible recognition from our peers. But mostly, it is our customers that have supported us for over 30 years of innovation who continue to make it all possible. Cheers to them.” The Restaurant Association of Maryland has recognized hospitality professionals throughout the state for 62 years. Liquid Assets has more than 1,000 bottles of wine in-house and Trader has formed relationships with winemakers and vineyard owners throughout the past 30 years to produce unique bottle offerings that cannot be found in other area restaurants. On the cocktail side, the local restaurant uses fresh citrus and juices, infuses vodka and even makes
homemade pickles. “We have a huge whiskey, rye and bourbon section that we have been working hard on the last couple of years. We are unique down to the original glassware and custom coasters,” said Paula Ross, manager of Liquid Assets. “We have a very loyal, year-round clientele base. There is also a following from the Baltimore area. We are blessed to have local and city support.” Pizza Tugos in West Ocean City was a finalist for Craft Brew Program of the Year award and Bull on the Beach, on 94th Street, in the Favorite Bar or Tavern category. In addition, Shenanigan’s Irish Pub and Grille, located on the Boardwalk at Fourth Street, was inducted into the Hospitality Hall of Honor. “I was shocked and honored [to be inducted into the Hospitality Hall of Honor],” said owner Greg Shockley. “It’s pretty remarkable, and I would have never expected it. I have been fortunate to always have tremendous people work for me. Some have been here more than 25 years, giving me their blood, sweat and tears.” The Irish pub has a loyal following, with generations of families making sure to visit the Ocean City staple each summer, he added. “We have been able to make a lot of people happy over the years,” Shockley said. “It is a fun place to come eat [and] be entertained, and we take advantage of the location.”

mac and cheese. Volpe said the menu features specialties like crab-stuffed eggs and a seafood pizza. Other highlights include the shrimp salad and Emerson’s famous crab cake. “It’s almost too filling and delicious. Other crab cakes gave too much filling, but Ernie, he mainly uses meat and either Panko or bread crumbs, whatever works that day,” Volpe said. Emerson, who is also Volpe’s fiancé, bought the property on 81st Street in September to move his seafood establishment, Captain Ernie’s, out of West Ocean City. That year-round operation was a hit with locals, but struggled with visibility from islanders. “We figured, let’s go into town and really grab that six- to seven-month market. Ernie then changed the name to ‘Victoria’s,’ saying that I was the face behind the counter and it was time to put my name on it,” Volpe said. With a new identity, Victoria’s is also introducing a new standard to measure crabs. Instead of measuring them lengthwise, the restaurant will weigh each crab to determine their

size and their cost. At Victoria’s, a medium-sized crab is a quarter-pound, a large one is onethird a pound, extra-large crustaceans are two-fifths a pound and Jumbo-sized are a half-pound. But no matter what the size, Victoria’s crabs are still sourced locally. “Our suppliers bring in crabs from Chester River and the Wye and Choptank. Chester crabs are a little costlier, but the nutrients in that river is what gives the crabs the best flavor,” she said. While serving delectable food is the number one priority, customer experience is a close second. With Volpe’s son, Mike, and longtime friend and employee Brian Thumma also at the helm, Victoria’s will be carrying on the same traditions from Captain Ernie’s. “We’re keeping our warm, courteous customer service. When we get to know you, we remember your usual and can suggest items to your tastes,” Volpe said. “We’re here to serve the best of the best.” Victoria’s Seafood & Crabs plans to open before Memorial Day.

We also feature the park as a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers. “National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service, and it’s a big factor in our local economy as well,� she continued. “We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.� The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists
Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service.

Godwin, Williams capture shot put, triple jump titles
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 13, 2016) The Stephen Decatur girls’ track and field team tied for fourth place and the boys’ squad finished eighth during the 15-school Bayside Conference championship meet last Thursday in Cambridge. “I thought the girls did well. We have been dealing with some injuries on both teams so my expectations were not very high,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. Two Lady Seahawks captured Bayside Conference titles in their individual events. Senior Dayona Godwin took home the title in the shot put with a throw of 32 feet 10 inches. This is Godwin’s first season participating in outdoor track and the shot put event, so winning a Bayside award is a big accomplishment, she said. “Going into the event I was a little nervous, but I was pretty confident because I have been going against those girls the whole season. It was mixed emotions of nerves and confidence,” Godwin said. Godwin’s first throw was her longest and good enough to earn her the title. “It just feels good to have two Baysides, with basketball and now this,” said Godwin, who helped lead the Decatur basketball team to a conference title this winter. “Dayona seemed to be the top performer in the girls’ shot put throughout the season so I was pleased with her performance in the shot put,” Stigler said. Godwin is looking forward to next week’s regional championship. She will compete in the shot put and discus. “I’m pretty excited,” she said. “My main focus is shot put. I just want to throw my farthest. My consistent measurement this year has been 32 feet. I would love to get 33.” Junior Bethany Williams won the Bayside triple jump title for the second consecutive year. “I was nervous that Bethany was going to struggle, because she hurt her ankle on Tuesday at our meet, but she persevered and I was pleased with her performance, which was a big help to our girls’ team,” Stigler said. “I landed on my foot pretty hard during the long jump and I thought I almost broke my ankle, but it’s good now,” Williams said. It did not bother her during the Bayside meet. Her triple jump of 32 feet 3 inches earned her the championship title. “I was looking at the clipboard that they had to write down the lengths and I saw they wrote down a “1” with a cir-

cle around it by my name. I was really excited,” Williams said Monday. “The fact that we have all this week and three days next week to get good practices in, hopefully I’ll be able to do a lot better at regionals than I did at Baysides. I’m hoping to jump farther and place high during regionals because regionals is a little bit harder competition than Baysides. My goal is high 34 or low 35.” She will also compete in the long jump event and the 800-meter and 1,600-meter relay races at regionals. Williams also won an award in the Bayside long jump event. She finished in second place with a jump of 15 feet 5 inches. Two other Lady Seahawks finished top five in their individual events. Sophomore Malea Saunders and freshmen Ivy Stearn tied for fourth place in the high jump (4 feet 4 inches). Junior Claire Billings, senior Katie Hofman, Stearn and Williams took third in the 1,600-meter relay race (4:41.07). Junior Madison Jones, Hofman, Billings and Saunders crossed the finish line fourth overall in the 400-meter relay race (55.55 seconds). Seniors Alison Alvarado and Rachel Savage, and juniors Savannah Schultz and Peyton Dunham came in fourth in the 3,200-meter relay event (11:02.8). Decatur’s 800-meter relay team of Hofman, Jones, Williams and Saunders placed fifth in the Bayside race (1:57.19). North Caroline won the girls’ competition with 132 points. Kent Island was second (124.5) and James M. Bennett placed third (92). Easton and Decatur tied for fourth place with 66 points.
North Caroline took top honors in the boys’ competition with 139 points, followed by Kent Island (78.5) and Colonel Richardson (76). Decatur scored 47 points for eighth place. Senior Ryan Beach was the top placer for the Decatur squad. He finished second in the high jump (5 feet 10 inches). Senior Brett Kim took fourth in the pole vault (10 feet). Ernest Shockley, a senior, placed fourth in the shot put (40 feet 5 inches). Juniors Javier Hernandez (3,200meter run, 11:04.22) and John Curtis (110-meter hurdles, 18.55 seconds) came in fifth in their events. Seniors Tyrese Milbourne, Zach Bernal and Scott Berry, and junior Billy Thompson crossed the finish line fourth in the 1,600-meter relay race (3:42.91). Junior Cameron James, Berry, Milbourne and sophomore Cade Solito took fourth in the 3,200-meter relay race (8:57.68). “I thought [Godwin and Williams] were the standout performers along with Ryan Beach in the high jump, and the girls’ 1,600-meter relay team,” Stigler said. The 3A East Regional meet is scheduled for Thursday, May 19, and Saturday, May 21, at Reservoir High School in Fulton, Maryland. “Competition will be tough, much tougher than Baysides, most likely. Decatur athletes will have to be focused and have their best performance in order to be successful at regionals,” Stigler said. “We have a few areas where I think that we have a chance to qualify a couple athletes for states.”
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 13, 2016) The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team captured its second consecutive Bayside Conference championship title with a 9-7 victory over the Queen Anne’s Lions on Tuesday in Centreville. The game was originally scheduled to be played on MonSara Braniecki day at Easton High School, but the field was too wet. The match was postponed until Tuesday and since the Easton field was still saturated, it was moved to the Queen Anne’s field. So, the Decatur Lady Seahawks got on the bus Tuesday and traveled about two hours for the competition no longer at a neutral site, but on the Lions’ home field. The Seahawks didn’t let the long trip and visitor status on Queen Anne’s field affect them. The girls were on a mission to bring home another Bayside title. “There was a fire in us. They came out ready to play,” said Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki. “The girls wanted a Bayside championship and they went out and got it.” Junior Claire Porter netted Decatur’s first goal, 1:40 into the game. Less than two minutes later, Queen Anne’s tied it. Junior Lexie VanKirk made it 2-1, then junior Victoria Kerkovich provided the Seahawks with a two-goal cushion. VanKirk put Decatur up 4-1 with about 10 minutes remaining in the first half. Queen Anne’s scored three in the final minutes to tie it 4-4, but VanKirk tallied her third goal with 29 seconds on the clock. Decatur went into halftime ahead 5-4. “It was a tight game last time we played them — we won by one [7-6 on April 19] — so we knew they could come back,” Braniecki said. VanKirk put Decatur up by two goals about 10 minutes into the second half, but Queen Anne’s answered to even it up, 6-6. Porter gave the Seahawks the goahead goal with 8:49 on the clock, but the Lions tied it three minutes later. With just a few minutes remaining in the game, Queen Anne’s called a timeout. The Lions had possession of the ball and Braniecki said the goal was for the Seahawks to get control of it. See DECATUR Page 44

The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team captured its second consecutive Bayside Conference championship title with a 9-7 victory over the Queen Anne’s Lions on Tuesday in Centreville. “There was a fire in us. They came out ready to play,” said Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki. “The girls wanted a Bayside championship and they went out and got it.”
Decatur scores two late goals to top QA, 9-7 Continued from Page 43 “It worked out perfectly to our advantage,” she said. “The game plan was to get the ball. They did what they were asked to do and got the ball in 5-10 seconds.” Braniecki said they wanted to work the ball around and maintain possession to run time off the clock. With 35 seconds on the clock, VanKirk took the ball to goal and was fouled. She scored on a free-position shot and Decatur now led 8-7. Porter got the ball on the ensuing draw and netted her shot with 12 seconds remaining in the game, to put the Seahawks up by two. “They played well. They started off strong and they played smart,” Braniecki said. “We didn’t possess the ball as much as we would have liked — we struggled on draw control
— but the offense produced when we did possess the ball.” VanKirk led Decatur with five goals and an assist. “It feels great to be a leader on the field and I love feeling like my teammates look up to me,” she said. “I couldn’t have done it without them though. The heart each one of them gives is what truly keeps me going.” Porter chipped in with three goals and Kerkovich had one. Junior goalie Rachel Florek recorded 17 saves. “She had some big saves and just about all of her clears were spot on,” Braniecki said of Florek. “She was very composed. She played very maturely.” Braniecki, who played for Decatur and graduated in 2007, was thrilled for her team to win the Bayside title her first season as head coach. “It feels good to have this in my
first year, and for the team to be successful,” she said. “The girls have worked hard and it all paid off.” “It’s thrilling to win another Bayside title,” VanKirk added. “We have been working so hard and even though many thought that this would be a rebuilding year for us, we are again on our way to big things.” Decatur (12-1) earned the No. 1 seed in Section II of the 3A/2A East Region bracket and a first-round bye. The Seahawks will host the winner of Thursday’s No. 4 James M. Bennett vs. No. 5 Parkside game, today, Friday, at 5 p.m., weather permitting. “We are still super excited off of the win, but tomorrow we will hit the practice fields again and continue to build off of our game,” VanKirk said after Tuesday night’s Bayside championship. “Each day until Friday is a
day to improve, and we will take every opportunity that we have.” If Decatur comes away with a victory, the team will play the winner of Friday’s No. 3 Easton vs. No. 2 Kent Island game, on Monday in Berlin. “We’ve been working on draw control and tightening up our defense and if we continue that, it will help take us farther through the playoffs,” she said. “As long as we keep our momentum up, we’ll keep going.” In 2015, Decatur was 17-0 going into the 3A/2A state championship game against Century, where the Seahawks lost a tight battle, 10-7. It was Decatur’s first appearance in the state title game since 2006. The Seahawks also captured their second consecutive 3A/2A East Regional championship last year and the girls are hoping for a three-peat this season.

Decatur is slated to take a trip to Pocomoke to play the Warriors at 4 p.m. today, Friday, weather permitting. Next week, eight Decatur tennis players will compete in the single-elim-
ination District VIII championship. Junior Katrina Harrell will battle in the girls’ singles division, while senior Reed Watson competes in the boys’ singles tournament. Each competition consists of 16 players. Watson is seeded 12th and Harrell 14th. Sophomore Laila Jamie Greenwood Mirza and senior Marina Wheeler, who both played singles this season, will team up for doubles. They are seeded 11th. On the boys’ side, senior Christian Beres and junior Josh Domingo will pair up for doubles action. They both
took the court as singles players during the regular season. Beres and Domingo received the No. 12 seed. Senior captains Katie Withers and Logan Romberger led their respective squads in the No. 1 singles spot this season. The duo will come together for mixed doubles Steve Berquist during the district tournament. They are seeded 13th. Decatur coaches Jamie Greenwood and Steve Berquist said they are expecting their athletes to face some stiff competition. The Decatur district tournament
lineup was set a few weeks ago, so the doubles partners have had some practice time together, but not as much as they would like, as rain has been a factor. When they have had practice, the Seahawks were working on fine-tuning the little things, Greenwood said, as well as game-like situations. “I think we’ll be OK. They’ve improved from earlier in the season,” Greenwood said. “They just need to have confidence in themselves.” “We’ve been playing well. The matches we’ve won, we won pretty decisively,” Berquist added. “At districts, we can’t give up any easy points. We need to make [opponents] earn their points, and we need to be on top of our game.”

WP girls’ lax team dominates Salis. School Lady Mallards win 17-1 in ESIAC semifinals; squad to battle STPP Sabres for title
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 13, 3016) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team trounced the Salisbury School Dragons 17-1 during Wednesday’s Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference semifinal game in Berlin. “They did a really good job. We moved the ball well, we had quick
transitions up the field and we had a lot of opportunities on goal,” Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker said. The Lady Mallards led 8-1 at halftime. They outscored the Dragons 90 in the second half. “We were trying to work on the little things and get ready for Friday’s game against Saints Peter & Paul,” she said. Eleven Mallards scored goals. Leading the team was freshman Gracie Gardner and junior Karlie Southcomb, who tallied three goals each. Southcomb also won five draw con-
trols. Senior captain Grace Tunis chipped in with two goals and two assists, and Prep goalie Sophia Bandorick recorded six saves. Worcester (15-4) will battle its ESIAC rival, the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres (11-5), today, Friday at 4 p.m. in Berlin. It will be the third time the teams have gone head-to-head in 2016. The Mallards won the first match on April 15, 15-11, in Berlin. On April 29 in Easton, the Sabres edged out the Mallards 9-7. Worcester is chasing its fourth
consecutive ESIAC championship title. In 2015, the Prep team was determined to win the trophy and the players took it to Saints Peter & Paul from the opening whistle. Worcester won 16-9. “We have to come out with a high level of intensity and set the tone of the game,” Flounlacker said. “They’re a strong team and if we don’t come out aggressive like we want to win it, it will be a tough game. We need to come out on fire from the get-go. This is what they’ve worked for all season.”

Decatur wins match against Worcester, 14-7 ‘The girls wanted the win and they went out and got it,’ lax Coach Braniecki says
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 13, 2016) The Stephen Decatur and Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse teams went goal-for-goal in the first half of last Friday’s game on the Lady Seahawks’ field in Berlin. The second half was a different story, as Decatur outscored the visiting Worcester Prep Lady Mallards 72 to win the annual competition between the two squads, 14-7. “The girls wanted the win and they went out and got it. They fought for every ball and came up with it when they needed it,� said Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki. “A lot of our game looked better than it has in the past. Fortunately, a lot of the girls have in-
dividually improved, which has helped our game.� Junior Victoria Kerkovich put Decatur on the board about two minutes into the game. Prep junior Leigh Lingo answered with a goal a little over a minute later. Captain Lexie VanKirk, a junior, provided the Seahawks with a 2-1 lead, but junior Julie Talbert evened the score about four minutes later. Worcester junior Karlie Southcomb netted the go-ahead goal for her team with 7:54 remaining in the first half, but junior captain Christina Romano tied it, 3-3, 23 seconds later. VanKirk scored twice to put Decatur on top 5-3, 5:49 before halftime. But the lead didn’t last long. Southcomb cut the advantage to one only 24 seconds later, then senior captain Grace Tunis made it 5-5, with 1:24 left in the half. Junior Claire Porter broke the tie
with 55 seconds on the clock and Kerkovich made it 7-5, Decatur, with 12 seconds remaining. “In the first half it was rainy and messy on the field, and we let our game mirror that. We possessed the ball off the first draw and took four shots and got the ball back after each one, but we could not put it in the goal,� Braniecki said. “That is uncharacteristic for us. We weren’t finishing our shots in the first half. Then, in the second half, we fixed that and we pulled away from them.� Lingo scored 12 seconds into the second half, but Decatur tallied seven goals to Worcester’s one over the next 24 minutes. “In the first half, I thought we were doing a great job matching up with Decatur, and I don’t know if it was because of the conditions or because of the pressure they were under trying to come back, but we just broke
down in the second half,� Prep Coach Leigh Anne Flounlacker said. “Our shots weren’t getting in the goal and we were having a hard time stopping them in the midfield.� For Decatur, VanKirk (three assists) and Kerkovich scored four goals apiece. Porter tallied two goals and three assists. Romano, juniors Logan Figgs and Brigitte Ardis and sophomore Maggie Bunting had one each. Decatur junior Rachel Florek recorded eight saves. Junior Sara Mitrecic took over in the goal with about 10 minutes remaining in the game. She stopped three Worcester shots. Southcomb led the Prep squad with three goals and an assist. Lingo had two goals, and Tunis and Talbert scored one apiece. Sophomore Sophia Bandorick made eight saves in goal for Worcester.

WP tennis teams to compete in ESIAC match Girls’ squad has won conf. title last 10 years; boys eye 2nd straight championship
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 13, 2016) Worcester will join the other Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference teams – Gunston Day, Salisbury School and Saints Peter and Paul – for a championship tournament today, Friday, on Salisbury University’s courts beginning at 2 p.m. Worcester Prep senior captains Isabel Carulli and Erika Smith, who
played in the first and second singles spots respectively this season, will compete in the ESIAC singles division. Sophomore Anchita Batra and junior Lauren Meoli, both singles players, will team up for doubles action. Juniors Eva Parks and Stormy McGuiness were doubles partners during the regular season, and they will take the court in doubles competition during the single-elimination ESIAC championship. “We have played both Gunston and Salisbury School. We know that we can do well versus them, but our [matches] with Saints Peter & Paul
[were] canceled [due to rain] … That is giving us some concern,” Prep Coach Cyndee Hudson said earlier this week. “Our team is really excited; since we don’t have a conference champion, this tournament is the only title we can earn.” She added that Worcester had earned that title during each of the 10 years the tournament has existed. Freshman Will Todd and sophomore Brenner Maull will compete in the boys’ singles tournament. Senior captain Charlie Pritchard and freshman Colin Miller have dominated their doubles competition this season. They are undefeated, 9-0,
going into the tournament. Junior Owen Nally and doubles partner, Brendan Miller, a sophomore, only lost one match this season and won nine. “Everyone is playing at their top form,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “In singles, Gunston’s No. 1 [David Rogers] is the player to beat. Our two doubles teams will look to defend their placement in the brackets with aggressive net play.” The Worcester Prep boys’ team is eager to bring home its second consecutive ESIAC title. Last season was the first time in six years the boys won the ESIAC team championship.
Volleyball tournament planned for June in OC
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) After molding the event to fit Ocean City’s needs, the Carousel Resort Hotel will host a junior and adult beach volleyball tournament series this summer. Roughly 20 athletes, ranging in age from 11-18, will be participating in the Junior Atlantic Beach Series, sponsored by the nonprofit Delaware Volleyball Academy, June 4-5. In addition to spiking volleyballs, the tournament will also serve as a showcase for Divi-
sion I college beach volleyball scouts looking for young athletes. “There’s about 200 schools offering a beach volleyball program right now,” said Delaware Volleyball Academy representative Rich Comley. “We’ve had three or four participants in our program that have gotten athletic scholarships in the past.” The tournament’s proceeds would off-set the cost of participants and provides scholarships to local athletes. Delaware Volleyball Academy also organizes volleyball clubs and events in
Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Adults would also be invited to compete in a future tournament in Ocean City, according to officials. Weeks before its first scheduled competition, the Junior Atlantic Beach Series struggled to obtain the Ocean City Council’s approval. Last month, Comley sought permission to erect 10 nets on the beach from 117th to 121st streets from May to early September. In addition, the event would require several tents for registration and selling apparel.

The scope of the event, however, and its impact on the beach in front of properties neighboring the Carousel hotel on 118th Street, resulted in approval of a condensed version involving seven nets, a more compact area of play and a shorter schedule. “The [Ocean City] Beach Patrol believes that the number of days would be excessive for that area of the beach, since it’s not wide enough,” Special Events Coordinator Lisa Mitchell told the council.

Five college teams compete in invitational at tennis ctr. Facility in Ocean City hosts event; players from Univ. of Maryland take home trophy
(May 13, 2016) Once the clouds parted on the morning of Saturday, April 30, the Ocean City Tennis on Campus Invitational served up some of the best tennis seen at the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street. The annual Ocean City Tennis on Campus Invitational hosted five college teams, each playing four dual matches. With the tight competition the winner wasn’t crowned until the final match, with University of Maryland downing University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) with a final score of 26-17. The final match saw UMBC take an early lead, with Kaitlyn Heo and Serene Mathew dominating the women’s double 6-1. University of Maryland came back strong, taking three of the next four matches with the mens’ doubles secured by Quentin Boustany and Michael Liu with a 6-1 win, and women’s singles player Sarah Bernstein taking the 6-
0 match. There were several individual performances of note during the day, led by University of Maryland’s Sofie Epstein, five wins, and Nicole Szeluga and Bernstein with four wins each. Heo and Mathew of UMBC had eight and seven wins, respectively, for UMBC on the women’s side. The men saw Liu of University of Maryland and Sam Keefer of UMBC lead the way with four wins each. In the end, University of Maryland finished with an unblemished 4-0 record. UMBC was a close second at 3-1 while last year’s winner, University of Delaware, was third at 2-2. Towson University finished the competition 1-3, with Salisbury University going 0-4. The OCTC is operated by Ocean City Recreation and Parks. It is a full service provider for summer tennis programs. There are weekly and seasonal programs for men, women and juniors for Ocean City residents and visitors alike. For information about the tennis programs visit: www.oceancitymd.gov/tennis.

might have problems with the tournament sprawling over onto their beach. “Over the years, we’ve had families strive to put a volleyball net on the beach and use it every day they’re here. We get flooded with complaints at City Hall,” Councilman Dennis Dare said. He also added that the nets would present a noise and crowding issue for the condominium residents in the Carousel and Fountainhead Towers. “This would be like putting a commercial use in a residential area. Sure as I’m sitting here, you won’t have the first event without people getting up in arms about it,” Dare said. In an effort to reach a compromise, Comley suggested shrinking the tournament by eliminating the earliest event in May and only using the Carousel property. Councilman Matt James, who works for the Carousel Group, then suggested eliminating three nets or reworking the event layout to fit entirely in front of the Carousel. Mayor Rick Meehan also supported the idea of condensing the volleyball tournament’s area. “If there’s a way to confine the event to the footprint of the Carousel Hotel, then I think that it makes a difference,” he said. Once that option was on the table, Comley said that the organizers would work with the city, after making some adjustments of their own. “We would just limit the number of people, and if they can’t come to the first qualifier, they can come to the next one,” Comley said. “We’d also cut down the nets on a given day to keep it within the Carousel.” Councilman Wayne Hartman made a motion to approve the tournament series. The City Council unanimously voted to approve the Junior Atlantic Beach Series for June 4-5 and June 18 -19.

Several hundred people attend the Ocean City Downtown Association’s 11th annual White Marlin Festival last year on the Somerset Street Plaza, which featured music and organizations exhibiting displays. The highlight of the event was the annual Crab Soup Cookoff.
OC Downtown Association hosts 12th White Marlin Festival and Crab Soup Cookoff, Saturday
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Ten restaurants are slated to compete in three categories during the Ocean City Downtown Association’s 12th annual Crab Soup Cookoff, this Saturday, on Somerset Street Plaza in downtown Ocean City. “Besides Springfest, this is a kickoff to summer,” said Lisa Parks, event chair for OCDA. “People want to taste different crab soups to see who makes the best and vote on their favorite.” The White Marlin Festival will take place from noon to 3 p.m., is free to attend, and will feature booths from each restaurant in addition to the Ocean City Life-Saving Museum, OC Surf Club, OC Beach Patrol, Drs.

Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run and walk in OC this Sat.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Raising awareness and providing information for those affected is the main goal of the inaugural Lyme Disease Awareness 5K run and walk on the Boardwalk Saturday morning. “I wanted to organize an event that would bring people’s attention to Lyme disease, which is the most common and fastest growing infectious disease in the United States,” said organizer Angela Burke. “I have had a tick-borne disease for many years. There is too little time and money spent on educating the public and medical professionals about this insidious disease.” Interested runners and walkers can register on Saturday from 7:30-8:30 a.m. at the inlet for $34, which includes a race bib for timing, a T-shirt, a tick-borne disease information packet and a snack. “The 5K is a timed competitive race for runners and walkers,” Burke said. “Attendees will learn about tick-borne illness while enjoying a beautiful morning run overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.” The race begins 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.
There will be silent and Chinese auctions taking place, featuring rounds of golf, spa treatments, restaurant gift cards and an Electra cruiser bike will be raffled off. Recently, Burke formed the nonprofit organization, “Fight the Bite,” which raises awareness and money to utilize billboards in the area and a website. “The billboards and website will provide public access to educational materials about tick-borne illnesses and accurate information including doctors that can provide diagnosis and treatment,” Burke said. There is also a support group in Salisbury, The Lyme Disease Association of Delmarva, which provides support and educational materials to the community through monthly meetings. The support group director will be at the event on Saturday to hand out information. “In 2014, being infected with Lyme disease resulted in three deaths and 300,000 reported new cases,” Burke said. “We have people who are sick from acquiring an illness that exists right in our front and backyards. You don’t have to travel out of the country to be exposed to it. The diagnosis of Lyme disease requires a clinical diagnosis as there are no accurate testing methods currently.” For more information, search “Fight the Bite Lyme Awareness 5K” on Facebook or email Burke at fightthebiteoc@gmail.com.

Ride fundraiser for Moveable Feast Continued from Page 55 temesch, the events and social media manager for Moveable Feast. “Riding 140 miles is huge. The significance of 140 miles is its the longest distance Moveable Feast travels to feed clients.” The event kicks off today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. with dinner followed by the opening program an hour later at the American Legion Post #166 on 24th Street. On Saturday, riders will depart from the Ocean City Boardwalk on 24th Street at 7 a.m. and head 100 miles across the backroads of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and end the day at Talbot County Community Center in Easton. The second portion of the journey begins on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. when riders will take a bus over the Bay Bridge and start their 40-mile trek from Broadneck Park in Annapolis, head along the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail in addition to the Baltimore-Washington International Trail before arriving in Baltimore City. Riders will gather at the Maryland Science Center, located in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, and wait for all riders to finish. At approximately 12:30 p.m., participants will leave as a group and cycle across Baltimore City to Moveable Feast headquarters in East Baltimore for lunch.

Participants range in age from 12 to 65 years old and many have lost friends or family to HIV, AIDS or breast cancer. Since its inception, Ride for the Feast has generated more than $3.35 million for services to Moveable Feast clients. Last year, $737,000 was raised during the event and 2016’s goal is to bring in $800,000. Each of the 250 participants this year has pledged to raise a minimum of $1,500, which is the cost for Moveable Feast to feed one client for an entire year with nutritious meals. In addition, there will be around 100 volunteers helping throughout the route, she added. Every dollar raised during the event will directly benefit Moveable Feast clients impacted by a life-threatening disease who cannot afford, access or prepare medically appropriate meals for themselves. Sponsors are responsible for covering all expenses associated with the ride to make sure all funds generated go directly to helping local clients in Maryland. Ride for Feast originally started in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The route was changed to Ocean City in its 10th year. Ocean City is the furthest distance Moveable Feast serves from its commercial kitchen in Baltimore. Employees travel through all towns on
the Eastern Shore, Annapolis and the southwest part of Baltimore. In 2015, Moveable Feast served 5,721 people and provided 847,680 meals to clients, Flottemesch said. Ride for the Feast was based on AIDS rides that occur across the country and a longtime supporter of Moveable Feast, David Andrews, started the event 14 years ago. “This event is special because of the level of commitment from the riders and volunteers,” Flottemesch said. “We are always looking for volunteers.” Moveable Feast is the sole provider of free medically appropriate meals for people with life-threatening illnesses in Baltimore, the surrounding five counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland for the past 26 years. The organization operates a distribution center in Hurlock, Maryland in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Easton at St. Andrews Church, she added. The goal is to deliver one million meals in a single year, and a donation of $140 can feed a woman living with AIDS for a month. Registration for the event closed a couple weeks ago, but donations to Moveable Feast can be made at any time by visiting its website at www.donatenow.networkforgood.org /mfeast or call 410-327-3420 for more information.

May Day Play Day in Berlin, May 13
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 13, 2016) Ocean 98 and the town of Berlin are celebrating all things cool, with the return of the annual May Day Play Day bash on Friday from 5-9 p.m. Local favorites Blind Wind, The Messengers and Eastern Electric will rock out on Main Street, along with headliners Stone Senate, a southern rock band from Nashville. Beer gardens by Burley Oak and the Atlantic Hotel, along with a food truck by Rosenfeld’s Jewish Delicatessen, will also be part of the festivities. “We sponsor Ocean 98, so this is their way of giving back to Berlin as sort of a ‘thank you,’” Economic and Community Development Director Ivy Wells said. “This year, May Day Play Day is also going to celebrate the anniversary of the Berlin winning the ‘America’s Coolest Small Town’ designation. We’re going to remind everyone that we won that honor two years ago and that we are still the coolest small town, with this amazing townwide party.” Wells said the main stage would be set up underneath the town clock on Main Street and would face towards Broad Street. Additional arts and crafts vendors will line the downtown area.

Berlin residents encourage participation in Kidney Walk

Michael Flynn celebrates with his sister, Debbie Rapp, after completing the Salisbury Kidney Walk last year.
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) Statistics from the National Kidney Foundation of Maryland show about one-third of Americans are at risk for kidney disease, with roughly half of the nation eventually impacted, but most don’t recognize the issue until their condition has progressed. The nonprofit Kidney Foundation of Maryland’s focus is preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health of those inflicted and increasing the availability of transplant organs. The group is sponsoring the 2016 Salisbury Kidney Walk, which will launch at 9 a.m. on Sunday, May 15 from Winterplace Park, located at 6737 Blue Ribbon Rd. With more than 26 million Americans affected by chronic kidney disease, it’s not difficult to find Worcester residents facing health challenges related to said organ. After more than six years on dialysis, Berlin resident Michael Flynn received a kidney transplant last August. “I’m a beneficiary of the cause,” he said. Although a recent battle with pneumonia threw this year’s plans askew, Flynn has participated in the last three Salisbury Kidney Walks, al-
beit from a wheelchair after losing a leg and half his other foot to diabetes. “I don’t walk, I roll,” the 57-yearold said. “The first year I did the kidney walk I was still on dialysis.” The lengthy kidney transplant process left ample time for Flynn to contemplate his own mortality, as well as that of others. “Someone has to die for you to get a kidney,” he said. “That’s hard.” He wonders if most people are aware of the prolonged qualification procedures. “When you get close to the top of the list you’ve been through at least one year of testing and being cleared for surgery,” he said. In stark contrast to the drawn out vetting process, Flynn said once an organ is removed there is a mere 48hour window for viability. “The list is not what you’d think,” he said. “It’s national computer based with numerous variables. There are hundreds of variables.” Flynn, whose procedure was performed at the University of Maryland, said when a organ becomes available the top five list recipients are contacted and provided the donor’s medical and age profile, but the identity remains anonymous. “There are higher risk kidneys,” he See KAIDEN Page 60

Will it prolong this persons life?” Each transplant candidate decides if the match seems ideal based on medical history and lifestyle issues, such as alcohol and drug use. In his case, Flynn said he held to his faith in a higher power to guide the decisionmaking process. “Our prayer always was right time, right kidney,” he said. “I’m going to give it to God.” While many adults like Flynn face the challenges of chronic kidney dis-

ease later in life, in some instances the organs can be problematic from birth. Six-year-old Berlin native Kaiden Davis began life challenged. His mother, Tiahna Davis, said her son suffered a birth defect that caused his urinary valves to direct fluids inward and not outward, which caused extensive damage to one of his kidneys. Shortly after delivery, a surgery was performed to correct the condition. “Kaiden does not require a transplant at this time,” she said. “He has one good kidney.” For the third consecutive year, the

mother and son duo will be raising funds through the kidney walk for research, education and support services. Davis said in addition to boxes with Kaiden’s picture placed at area businesses, her family has also gathered financial support online. “There has been good community involvement,” she said. At present, Kaiden’s Chronic Kidney Disease is in Stage 2 and up until this point medication has been used to halt the condition from advancing. “It only progresses and doesn’t get better,” she said.

With a handful in total, Stage 5 of the disease signifies kidney failure and requires dialysis or a transplant to maintain a patient’s life. “Lifestyle has a big impact,” she said. “I have to keep Kaiden away from soft drinks and keep him hydrated.” To the untrained observer, the first grader at Buckingham Elementary appears relatively untroubled. “He does everything a normal 6year-old boy can do,” she said.

Continued from Page 60 are ostracized over an apparent difference, Davis said her son’s condition isn’t obvious to most outsiders. “Nothing makes him stand out,” she said. “He has a good circle of friends.” In fact, a number of school chums have again enlisted for the kidney walk to support their classmate. “They all wear shirts that say ‘I walk for my best friend,’” she related. From her perspective, Davis said education is key and despite his tender age, she has imparted insights to her son about his medical challenges. “He is fully aware of his condition,” she said. Hoping to enlighten the adult population, Davis said the best advice she can offer is to live in a healthy manner. “As an adult it’s all about your lifestyle,” she said. “Live a healthier life.” She pointed out that lower back pain could sometimes be an indicator of kidney issues. The first answer always returns to hydrating with ample amounts of water. “You can live with one good kidney, but you can’t live with two bad ones,” she said. “It makes everything else go out of whack.” Davis said the Kidney Foundation
of Maryland has lent her family vital assistance, even helping the single mom with rent and travel expenses. “Kidney disease affects your life,” she said. “Everybody doesn’t have a support group.” Concurring was Flynn, who noted for those afflicted life centers around the disease. Although Flynn has raised extensive funds during past kidney walks, he stressed that every single dollar helps. At the end of the day, he is simply grateful for the following morning’s sunrise. “What a blessing I’ve been through,” he said. “Everyday my eyes open is a blessing.” To participate in the Kidney Walk or simply donate to the cause, contact Nicole Scharf at 410-726-8732 or email nscharf@kidneymd.org.

Several other robotics teams based on the Eastern Shore will also take part. “I think they’re going to have an interactive NASA trailer with them,” organizer Tom Sholtis said. “They’re going to do a couple demonstrations that people should really enjoy.” Wells largely credited Sholtis, also known as Big Al Reno on Ocean 98, with setting up May Day Play Day. “We’ve been partnering with and helping the town grow, and this is just a way for us to give back to showcase Berlin and some of the stuff we play on the air, ” Sholtis said. “ It’s a ‘thank you’ to everyone who supports what we’re doing.” “It’s basically an outdoor concert commemorating that we are ‘America’s Coolest Small Town,’” Wells added. “We just want people to have an awesome time.”

Local T-Wrecks robotics team takes top honors for pit safety By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 13, 2016) The Titanium Wrecks robotics team recently retuned from a global competition in St. Louis with an award for pit safety, along with renewed inspiration to further develop their engineering skills. This was the third year the TWrecks team has competed in the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Championship, which was held April 27-30, and drew more than 20,000 students from 42 countries. Paul Suplee, team mentor, said TWrecks competed in the Galileo Division and at the onset performed admirably. “The first match was a strong win, and the students were confident that they would do well, but then the next few matches had a number of problems,” he said. In addition to mechanical issues with “SHWrecks,” the team’s robot, Suplee said there were also problems with robots belonging to teams in a randomly picked alliance. “The best part of this was that the students were able to troubleshoot and repair every issue in the last three matches,” he said.

tion, Suplee said T-Wrecks managed a tie and even pulled out a hardfought victory. “For our last qualification match, we were allied with the two- and three-seed teams in the division,” he said. “Our drive team and SHWreck scored 50 of the 110 points in that match, so we finished strong.” At that point, Suplee said although T-Wrecks was eliminated from the bracketed competition, the students continued to learn. “We were able to sit back and watch the finals, which were inspiring,” he said. Despite falling out of the competition, in the end the team was awarded first place recognition for pit safety. With all team members returned home from the midwest journey, Suplee said the next chapter in robotics work from the Snow Hill-based team, comprised of high school students from across Worcester County, is set to launch. “We’re gearing up for the offseason which will include Raspberry Pi training, Arduino projects, more submersible projects, and a great deal of fundraising,” he said. To facilitate the St. Louis trip, the team established a GoFundMe page and received financial backing from

Crunchy codfish fritters packed with flavor Firm and meaty texture of fish will not be overpowered by other ingredients in mix
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 13, 2016) As a history enthusiast, I have often wondered what it was like for the first Europeans to cross the Atlantic Ocean and begin a new life in America. Inexperience and uncertainty were on the menu and had to be a daily challenge. Can you imagine the very first time the colonists and the Native Americans encountered each other. The Native American customs and way of life had to have added to the extraordinary circumstances. That being said, the early settlers would have not survived the first few winters without the assistance and knowledge of their neighbors. The American Indians taught the Pilgrims how to smoke and dry indigenous meat and fish. They also educated them on how to plant corn, beans and squash. Fish were used to help fertilize the planting lands and powdered tobacco acted as a natural insect repellent. The American Indians also showed the Pilgrims how to navigate from place to place by water and land, how to tan hides (treat animal skins to produce leather) for clothing, how to identify toxic plants, and explained the medicinal and culinary use of herbs. Fish were plentiful for the pickings and an extremely important component of the colonial menu. Cod, halibut, mackerel, sea bass, herring and flounder are just a few of the fruits of the sea. Clams, oysters, lobsters and mussels also reigned supreme. But did the early settlers consume crabs? Native Americans and America’s early colonists ate more blue crabs than modern researchers previously thought; according to a team of scientists studying crab remains unearthed at archaeological sites in the Chesapeake Bay area. Because so very few crab shells have been recovered in archaeological digs, anthropologists assumed that crabs were rarely eaten. Why hasn’t previous research found evidence of crabs? The answer is uncomplicated; blue crabs carapaces are so fragile that they do not preserve well over time. In addition, the high levels of acidity in the soil contribute to their deterioration. Another interesting tidbit of the colonial era was the use of eating utensils. Each colonist had their own knife, but forks and spoons were rarely used. The early Pilgrims were religious and believed the meals should be prepared and served in simple fashion. If the early settlers could have had a peak into the future, I am confident they would have taken delight in cod
fritters. The crunchy exterior encases chunks of tasty cod amongst a medley of sautéed herbs, fresh aromatics, and homemade mashed potatoes. Cod is great choice for fritters. The firm and meaty texture is not overpowered by the other ingredients. The filler for the fritters are mashed potatoes as opposed to bread crumbs. The subtle consistency of the mashed potatoes allows the flavor of the cod to stand out. Cooking the potatoes in seafood stock intensifies the “seafood” theme. Contrast highlights appeal and dazzles the sensory perception. Cod-

fish fritters are a mouthwatering way to start a meal or serve as passed hors d’ oeuvres. Last but not least, codfish fritters are indicative of the Eastern Shore and its ancestors. Do not be fooled by the unpretentiousness of the recipe, these little babies are packed with flavor. Enjoy!

Scholarship in memory of Hunter Hudson established
(May 13, 2016) A scholarship in memory of Hunter Hudson of Ocean City has been established with plans to benefit graduates of Stephen Decatur High School. The 19-year-old, who loved the outdoors and hunting, passed away suddenly on March 24. Hudson’s family has established the memorial fund through the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. The family hopes that this legacy will keep his memory alive in the minds of those that knew and loved him, while assisting future generations. Hudson graduated from Stephen Decatur in 2015 and attended Worcester Technical School to study masonry. To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a graduate of Stephen Decatur High School with a minimum
2.5 GPA, been accepted into a two- or four-year accredited college or university, and be able to demonstrate financial need. To make a contribution in memory of Hudson, visit www.CFES.org or contact BJ Summers at 410-742-9911. Contributions can be made payable to: The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore – Hunter Hudson Memorial Fund, 1324 Belmont Avenue, Ste. 401, Salisbury, Maryland 21804. Celebrating over 30 years of philanthropy, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore (CFES) has been serving the needs of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties, granting more than $50 million.

Ecologist Brinker to discuss birds during May 17 program
(May 13, 2016) Regional Ecologist Dave Brinker will share his perspectives on the history and future of birds and their conservation in the coastal bays in a presentation hosted by the Maryland Coastal Bays Program Citizens Advisory Committee, Tuesday, May 17 at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Brinker is a regional ecologist with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ Natural Heritage Program. He works on biodiversity conservation specializing on colonial nesting waterbirds and marshbirds. His scope of work also includes freshwater mussels, tiger beetles and odonates (dragonflies and damselflies). More species of birds have been observed in Worcester County than any other Maryland county. From peregrine falcons to Ipswich sparrows, research and monitoring conducted on Assateague and in the coastal bays is influencing what is known about birds and how resource managers approach bird conservation. Brinker’s extensive research and expertise with bird-related issues on Assateague and in the Coastal Bays began in 1975. He has been banding Northern Saw-whet Owls on Assateague Island since 1991. He
founded the now continental collaborative banding effort, Project Owlnet, in 1994. Along with colleagues and many volunteers, he has organized the banding of over 25,000 Brown Pelicans in Maryland and Virginia. In addition to his professional duties, during his free time he studies Northern Goshawks in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and has experience with traditional radio, satellite and cellular telemetry of Black Skimmers, Northern Goshawks, Northern Saw-whet and Snowy Owls. Most recently he cofounded, and is a leading principal in Project SNOWstorm. MCBP’s Citizens Advisory Committee performs a dual role of providing the MCBP with valuable input from citizens and as a communication conduit on the programs and progress of the organization to the community. Membership includes representation from a broad spectrum of major resource groups including citizen’s councils, business, farming, fishing, industry, recreational users and environmental citizens groups. Attendance is open to all. RSVP to Technical Coordinator Jen Rafter at jrafter@mdcoastalbays.org or 410213-2297x 105 if planning to attend.

MCBP, Md. Terrapin Working Art League membership drive Group seek count volunteers to include raffle for painting Annual terrapin survey to take place May 31-June 4 from land, boat and online (May 13, 2016) Maryland Coastal Bays Program, partnering with the Maryland Terrapin Working Group, a group composed of terrapin researchers and managers, is looking for volunteers to help with the annual terrapin head count survey held from May 31 to June 4. Surveys will take place by land, boat and via online submissions. A land-based survey will collect valuable data that might not otherwise be reported. Training materials for properly reporting terrapins from the land-based survey will be available at mdcoastalbays.org by May 19. More information on this process will be available at the trainings. To view last year’s survey protocols, visit www.mdcoastalbays.org/terrapin-project. Some teams on boats or land-based teams with spotting scopes may have space for additional volunteers. To join one of these teams if space allows indicate interest when registering for the training. To participate in the online reporting, simply report any terrapin sightings from May 31 to June 4, and include a photograph if possible at
mdcoastalbays.org, or call Programs Manager Jennifer Rafter at 410-2132297 x 109. Organizers are also looking for boat owners who can provide the transport, observers to identify turtles in the water (the terrapin is typically the turtle occupying brackish/salt water, but other turtles, such as snapping turtles, may venture into those waters as well) and individuals who can accurately fill out survey forms in the field, including GPS coordinates. MCBP will host two trainings covering both land- and boat-based surveys on Thursday, May 19 at 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. at the MCBP office, 8219 Stephen Decatur Highway, in Berlin. The office is located on the right hand side just south of 376/Assateague Road on 611/Stephen Decatur Highway (the old Pine Shore South Clubhouse). To RSVP for the training or to get more information on land- or waterbased surveys, contact jrafter@mdcoastalbays.org or 410-213-2297 x 109. For all sighting types, MCBP can only use information for reported terrapins if either a physical address or the GPS coordinates in decimal degrees for the sighting are reported. Sightings are important to help understand the terrapin populations in the coastal bays.
(May 13, 2016) The Art League of Ocean City’s membership drive includes a special raffle that will run through Sunday, May 15, to encourage memberships. The nonprofit Art League, which runs the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, will enter all new or renewing memberships into a drawing that will be held at the Arts Center on Sunday, May 15. The prize is an original signed painting by Baltimore artist Joan Lok, created in the traditional sumi style of watercolor and ink on rice paper and professionally framed. “We want everyone in the commu-
nity to know that you don’t have to be an artist to join the Art League. You just have to love the arts,” said President Marian Bickerstaff. The Art League’s mission is to promote the visual arts in the Ocean City area through education, exhibits, scholarships, classes, programs and community art events. The Art League offers tax-deductible memberships in several levels for individuals, students, seniors and families, starting at $25 per year. Corporate memberships are also available. For information, visit artleagueofoceancity.org, or call 420-524-9433.

Commentary
City seeking fix to nonexistent issue
The Ocean City Police Commission and the Ocean City Police Department must know something that the rest of the City Council and the public do not. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the commission and local law enforcement officials spent time Tuesday discussing possible solutions to a problem that does not exist. That would seem to be the case, as the commission called on its legal advisor, City Solicitor Guy Ayres, to look for ways to come down harder on people who repeatedly refuse to obey police officers in circumstances involving disruptive behavior. The thing is, though, that has never happened, according to follow-up questions after the meeting. The worst that has occurred so far, the commission learned during its session, was an incident when police thought someone might refuse to comply with an order, but that turned out not to be the case. So why the push? The explanation given by Mayor Rick Meehan is that it is good to be prepared for compliance issues should they arise. The other question, however, is what kind of preparedness this might entail. It did seem, however vaguely, that some thought had been given to the possibility of allowing police to issue misdemeanor citations for failure to do what they say. Ayres didn’t seem too keen on that, however, and so will delve into the code to see what might be done to encourage disruptive people to do what the police tell them, even though they have been doing that anyway. For some reason — and it may not be related in any way — but this is somewhat reminiscent of the move last year to outlaw certain activities on private property, including standing on the landscaping. That proposed ordinance didn’t happen for assorted reasons, and this is a different matter. Still, when it comes to enacting new laws, government needs to be cautious that its response doesn’t exceed the problem.

I Googled the site (wapo.st/housing) and entered my zip code in Falls Church, Virginia, 22042, where home prices were up 24 percent. Go to Google [and] try it yourself. Next, I entered a zip code where I am looking at a property in Lewes, Delaware, and they were up 11 percent. Finally, I entered my zip code in Ocean City, which also includes some increases in property values in West Ocean City, 21842, and home prices were down 17 percent. We have the beach, beautiful sun and sand, and one of the prime vacation spots in the nation, so why has real estate declined so much in Ocean City over the last 12 years? In 2014, I went back over local costs to see what had happened. I noticed that for five years, from 2005 through 2009, the then-City Manager Dennis Dare, had failed to adjust the tax rate downward as indicated by the state’s annual constant yield adjustment. By 2009, taxes had increased an astounding 80 per-
cent above what constant yield called for. Since 2009, the mayor and council have been diligent to raise the rate every year as property values noise dived for seven years, through 2015, while assessing the improper 80 percent higher tax burden on us annually. The mayor and council acquiesced to Mr. Dare’s failure to properly correct the tax rate to comply with the states past notices of constant yield. The result since 2009 [is] Ocean City property values have declined for seven straight years except last year, when the rise was less than one percent, which lowered the rate a fraction of a penny. The takeaway is when property values skyrocketed (‘05‘09) local government failed to lower the rate to comply with constant yield, but when property values plummet our local government promptly raises the rate! So over 12 years we have ended up with an unprecedented 80 percent rise in property taxes every year, and our home prices reflect this. Although all resident-voters have gained hundreds of dollars from the special deal called “homestead,” they have lost tens of thousands of dollars in the values of their homes, due to the sharp rise in property taxes for others, while secondhome owners have born the full
brunt of losses of tens of thousands in property values in addition to paying the full 80 percent-plus in improper increases annually! How fair is that! Don’t get me wrong – everything you give government they spend, whether it is reasonable or not. When I realized in 2014 what had happened to our property values, I started a petition, which allowed us to vote directly on reducing our property tax. The idea reduces the rate and as home values increase the government will benefit as we do. Although, we only reached about 40 percent of the voters, 8 out of 10, signed the petition, or nearly 1,500 voters: well over the 1,226 required. Mr. Ayres, our town’s City Solicitor, said, “The petitioners are not allowed to vote on their tax” [and] called it “illegal” and recommended that the council “sue” to stop the petition. On April 20, Judge Jackson, interestingly a judge from another county, Wicomico, was brought in; he sided with Ayres and the council and quashed our petition, pending appeal. Well, if the voters can’t vote directly on their tax in Maryland, they can, for certain, vote out of office the politicians that stopped them: Meehan, DeLuca, Knight, Cymek and, of course, Mr. Dare who all voted Continued on Page 94

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 93 to “sue” to stop the petition that would have allowed voters to vote directly on our property tax. For quashing the voters’ rights to vote directly on their tax Mr. Ayres emerges as a somewhat dubious champion. He has personally found a different way to handle the property tax problem. As reported in the Daily Times and Dispatch, two weeks ago, and last week in Ocean City Today on page 84, item 15, “To Ayres, Guy R. III . . .Total Cost & Taxes Due $11,837.01.” This represents two years of nonpayment of city, county and state property taxes by Mr. Ayres. Maybe we should follow Mr. Ayres lead, and just don’t pay our taxes. Tony Christ Ocean City
Fundraiser continues fight against cancer
Editor, We all seem to have a wish list. Some are attainable, e.g. vacation, new car, adventurous trip. Some are more complicated, peace in the world, good health, civility in our lifestyle. I have a wish list I started 13 years ago as a survivor. Cure cancer! As we all know cancer never sleeps. It attacks all walks of life, young, old, male, female and every ethnic group. I remember when the doctor said in a calm voice, “you have cancer.” I was dumbfounded and scared. I told my wife and myself, I am going to beat this
66th Street Bayside
dreaded disease. I am not a medical person, but I will fight this battle by helping the American Cancer Society, by raising funds through the Relay For Life. The American Cancer Society, Relay for Life [took] place on May 6 at Frontier Town in Berlin. Relay celebrates the lives of people who have survived this dreaded disease. We remember the people who didn’t make it and give hope to everyone else with love and faith. Cancer will be defeated. We gather at this site and embrace each other with words of encouragement and shed tears together for our success and for those who lost the battle after a gallant fight. The emotion runs so high that one has to slow down to get your heart rate at an even pace. In our lives, we know someone, friend or relative that has been affected by cancer. We need to do something, more research, more fund raising and more praying. Each year I write a letter asking for help to try and eradicate this disease. I will keep it up and hope everyone out there will do something to help cure cancer. Contribute to the American Cancer Society. I saw a prayer that I thought was appropriate: Hope is reaching out to God, hope is happiness and joy, hope is looking for a dream, hope is wishing for a cure (my word). Everyone, especially the people who are battling to beat this disease, keep fighting and keep hoping. God bless to all. Nicholas Bartolomeo Selbyville, Delaware

Not so smart appliances THE PUBLIC EYE
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher It doesn’t seem right that houses, appliances and devices are getting smarter, while the general population is stuck with the same old IQ. You’d think, instead of wasting all that research money on creating rapid response refrigerators, for instance, that the digital industrial complex would devote some resources to helping people reach new levels of intelligence. Judging from the way things have been going lately, that would be a greater gift to civilization than a refrigerator that can take photos of and generate information on its contents. That’s not a big benefit, since no matter how good the photo or the readout might be, it still can’t light up the touchscreen with, “The aging chicken gumbo you forgot about has just achieved self-awareness. Oh wow! I think it’s grown an eye!” Given the accelerated progress of tech developers, the time when your refrigerator will be able to report on the condition of its contents is not far away: “Excuse me, but the zucchinis have been behaving inappropriately with some of the other vegetables. Just saying.” The entire smart house revolution, in theory anyway, doesn’t make
much sense if we’re not intelligent enough to know when depending on “smart” is actually kind of dumb. Sure, you can monitor your house via your phone when you’re away, you can adjust the thermostats, turn appliances on or off, reduce electrical consumption, open and close vents, and lock and unlock the doors. But would you really want to do that? When I come home after engaging in certain cultural pursuits, for instance, all I need is a house key and a good set of tiptoes to get in quietly. To open the door of a smart house, I’d have to dig out my phone, be able focus on the screen’s squiggly little letters and hope I push the right button so I don’t turn on the washing machine or set every light in the house to “on-off-on-off-on-off” or something else not easily defended come morning. And the misplaced phone issue or dead battery? I guess you would have to hide a spare phone in a flowerpot outside, which doesn’t seem that smart to me. They can call it what they want, but the last thing I need is a house or appliance that continues to gain intelligence when I don't: “Whoops, this is the house speaking, I changed the locks when you were out. Guess what the password is? Hahahaha... I’m just messing with you.”
