(May 17, 2013) Two West Ocean City men are being held in the Worcester County jail after being denied bond yesterday on fugitive warrants from New York. Brothers Basel Ramadan, 32, and Samir Ramadan, 39, are believed to be ringleaders of a group involved in cigarette smuggling with possible ties to terrorist organizations. Altogether, the group is believed to have spent as much as $55 million buying cigarettes last year, while keeping $10 million in profit. The Ramadans were the subjects of raids Wednesday by Homeland Security officers and investigators from New York. The Ramadan family owns a number of businesses in Berlin and Ocean City. An apartment above the Subway franchise on Coastal Highway at Sunset Drive, which according to state tax records is owned by Shireen Ramadan, was the site of one of the raids. The Ramadan residences in Oyster Harbor were also raided, property was removed and men were taken into custody. In addition to that property, Basel Ramadan is the regis-

City shuts down Lizard’s Boardwalk project over parking shortage New de Lazy Lizard branch would’ve needed 15-space waiver for Lambros site ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) The resort’s ongoing struggle with the lack of downtown parking claimed a major casualty last week in de Lazy Lizard restaurant, which was denied the waiver it needed to set up a third location on the Boardwalk between Fourth and Fifth Streets. At least one member of the Board of Zoning Appeals supported the idea of granting the restaurant a waiver for 15 required parking spaces — an exception that would be necessary for it to open a location at the former Lambros Apartments building — but the motion did not carry. “We have a motion, but no second,” said Board of Zoning Appeals Chairman Al Harrison after a muted discussion between the five board members. “I’m afraid your request is denied.” De Lazy Lizard has its flagship restaurant on First Street and the bay, with a satellite pub soon to open at First Street and Philadelphia Avenue, in the building that used to house Melvin’s Steakhouse. A third location was planned for the
OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES
The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals has denied the parking waiver necessary for de Lazy Lizard to establish a restaurant in the Lambros building, center. Plans for a redevelopment of the Hampton House by Sunsations owner Avi Sibony were recently delayed as well, both due to objection from residents of the El Capitan condominium, seen at left.
Boardwalk, but this would require considerably more regulatory hoops from City Hall. The city requires that all new establishments provide a certain number of parking spaces, based on the type of business and the square footage occupied. Many older facilities, however,
have been granted a historical right by the city for their pre-regulatory lack of parking. The Lambros building has had retail establishments on its ground floor and has apartments on its upper levels, although it has no parking on the site. The rights to such a non-conformity are associated with the property.
“They have a pre-existing non-conforming status, which is legal, and you can change the facility as long as you don’t intensify the deficiency,” explained Assistant Director of Planning and Community Development R. Blaine Smith. However, retail establishments require less parking, under city code, than restaurants. The change in use from a Tshirt shop to an eatery would necessitate an additional 15 spaced beyond what the building already had grandfathered in via its previous uses. “You essentially need twice as much for the same square footage based on the change of use,” Smith said. “Factually speaking, there’s no on-site parking for either the commercial or residential uses because of the building’s age.” The restaurant could acquire off-site parking, but none such accommodations are available within the distance prescribed by the city. Even if space were available, it would have to be deeded or leased to the property, which would be difficult since de Lazy Lizard does not own the Lambros building but is renting the facility. De Lazy Lizard does, however, have four separate off-site parking lots for its two other locations, as well as several spaces leased from other lots, a factor that the restaurant’s attorney, Hugh Cropper, asked be taken into consideration.

Commission discusses controlling use of new Boardwalk stage ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) Ocean City officials this week grappled with settling on an appropriate use policy for the soon-tobe-finished stage at Caroline Street, given the Boardwalk-adjacent facility’s anticipated popularity for casual users and performers. The facility is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, following construction delays in the spring because of wet weather that prevented the structure’s concrete base from setting. The facility will consist of a small stage, which faces the ocean but is also open to the Boardwalk side, accessible by a small terrace of steps. Large restroom facilities will be located on either side of the stage area as replacements for the previous Caroline Street bathhouse structure that was in serious disrepair. City Recreation and Parks Director Tom Shuster suggested a fee schedule of $50 for non-profits and $100 for forprofit uses to reserve the stage. Such approvals could be given by Shuster’s staff or by the council, he said at this week’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting. “This is something that could be one at the administrative level, but we didn’t want to presume that that’s what you’d
want,” he said. City Manager David Recor said he felt such a policy was unnecessary, as any extended uses of the facility would likely be part of a larger private event that required review by the elected body regardless. “I can see this being very attractive to a private event promoter, which would be included in their application before the council,” Recor said. On a smaller scale, Recreation and Parks staff could book a schedule of performers for the stage just as they do for the facility at Sunset Park. Shuster said he fields frequent calls from bands that are passing through the area and are looking for a venue. Many can be booked at Sunset Park or elsewhere for little to no money. “They’re mostly just interested in getting their name out there and saying, ‘We have a concert in Ocean City,’” Shuster said. However, the major concern was not with performances that would be booked by the city, either via Shuster or the City Council, but with causal users such as the street performers who populate the Boardwalk in the summer. Shuster’s original plan called for “no trespassing” signs to be posted when the facility is not in use. “I know they would love to be there
As can already be seen, the Caroline Street stage and restroom project will feature a raised central platform that opens to the ocean, but is also accessible through a plaza on the Boardwalk side. The city is trying to quickly develop a policy for monitoring performers at the facility.

City manager faces domestic abuse allegations Recor’s wife granted order of protection; hearing Fri. ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer
Select
Rep. of Styles
MAY 17, 2013
(May 17, 2013) The Town of Ocean City’s City Manager, David Recor, is scheduled to appear in court today (Friday) regarding a restraining order placed against him by his wife. Maria Recor filed for, and was granted, a temporary protective order from her husband on May 10 in Salisbury, after alleging ongoing domestic abuse. The case was transferred on Monday to Worcester County’s District Court in Snow Hill and is scheduled to be heard there this morning. Despite the seeming turmoil, David Recor said Wednesday that he was trying to focus on the city’s business. “I’m focusing on work and not allowing this to become a distraction,” he said. “We are working toward an amicable resolution.” Recor declined to discuss any of the details of his wife’s allegations prior to Friday’s hearing. In the filing documents, Maria Recor states that her request is the result of an incident that took place on May 5 in Florida. David Recor had previously stated that his daughter’s college gradu-
ation was that weekend and had told city staff that he planned to be out of town during Springfest and most of the week following. Maria Recor alleges that “on Sunday evening, David Recor May 5 David was angry and upset at me for not paying him enough attention. We were at a vacation house and he climbed to the rooftop and was threatening to jump. I told him to come back over, his daughters could hear and see.” “I had hold of his arm, keeping him on the railing. He said you don’t love me and I said, ‘No I don’t. He swung at my face and hit me near the eye. He then came over the railing and pushed me violently to the ground twice, my head slamming into the ground. He then arrived to our home and took my car.” It is not clear which home or car Maria Recor is referring to, although the order does grant her possession of the couple’s Mercedes 550, as well as their home in the Little Salisbury area of Ocean City. Maria Recor lists her husband’s address on the complaint as Onancock, Va. where his grandmother lives. The court’s own notice granting the order of protection states that “on 5/5/13, Ft. Myers, Florida, respondent hit petitioner in left eye with a bottle and
shoved her 2 times in the presence of their oldest daughter. He also threatened suicide at the time.” Further, Maria Recor alleges that her injuries span “numerous occasions of physical violence over the past 23 years against both myself and two oldest daughters. Left in April of 2009 for 4 months and contacted domestic violence shelter.” The order grants Maria Recor custody of two of the couple’s children, as well as financial support from David Recor’s earnings from the Town of Ocean City. Recor returned to work this week, and was present during the City Council work session and commission meetings on Monday and Tuesday, although he sported a noticeably bruised right eye. Thus far, the city does not believe Recor’s court issue impacts his position as the town’s chief administrator. “He’s continuing to work in the same capacity as he always has,” Mayor Rick Meehan said yesterday. “As far as I know, it hasn’t affected his work,” City Council President Lloyd Martin said Wednesday. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s a personal matter between he and his wife. That’s where I am right now with it.” Recor has been in Ocean City for almost a year, having started his position on June 11, 2012. He was previously the City Manager of Fort Pierce, Fla.

City looks at beach toy alternatives ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) Ocean City is planning to find short-order replacements for the Boardwalk’s beloved “beach toys,” which will not be returning this summer, although their substitutes will likely be safer and sanitation-friendly. “I’ve got a number of things that Terry [McGean, City Engineer] thought would fit the safety requirements and Hal [Adkins, Public Works Director] thought would be practical as far as maintenance and sanitary concerns,” said city Recreation and Parks Director Tom Shuster at this week’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting. What the city refers to as “beach toys” are children’s wooden playsets – in forms such as an airplane, castle and pirate ship – that until this year were in five locations along the downtown portion of the Boardwalk. All five pieces were paid for by Boardwalk business owners and placed on the beach in front of their respective establishments City maintenance workers would haul the toys out of storage each spring and put them away in the fall. They also required extensive annual upkeep, particularly in sanding them to prevent splinters, as well as regular cleaning during the summer due to what Adkins termed “illicit nighttime activities” that often occurred
in the toys’ less-visible spaces. Earlier this year, however, Adkins advised the commission that the toys had approached the end of their useful life, given that they were never designed for commercial use and had been incurring an undue number of personal injury liability claims each summer. He said that the toys’ original donors seemed amenable to selling the structures and putting the proceeds toward new ones. Shuster said this week that he had met with Dough Roller owner Bill Gibbs – the earliest purchaser of an original wooden toy – to discuss what he and other Boardwalk business owners would be willing to invest in. Mayor Rick Meehan, Shuster said, had suggested that the city could provide matching funds to supplement the donations, although the commission members were hesitant to recommend any financial outlay before it was decided what exactly would be bought. Shuster had 13 options, ranging in price from $5,900 to $50,000 and of varying degrees of complexity. Simpler options were likely better, as they were more free-standing and would not have to be otherwise anchored. They would also have less nooks and crannies for unintended uses, and be easier to clean. The commission seemed to prefer a set of toys that are essentially giant plasSee PLASTIC on Page 12A

Condo owners claim new use will worsen parking deficiency Continued from Page 3A
“They’re doing the best they can, given the geography of the area, to find the parking,” Cropper said. “It’s a pretty good faith effort on the part of the business owners to acquire almost a hundred extra parking spaces.” But what the restaurant was required to prove, legally, was that the 15 parking spaces not covered by its existing allowance were not actually needed given the nature of the new business. “We anticipate that all of our customers will be Boardwalk pedestrian traffic,” said De Lazy Lizard co-owner Wayne Odachowski. “No reasonable patron is going to drive to this location in the summer,” Cropper added. He also submitted that a precedent had been set when the Boardwalk Hooters – less than a block north of the Lambros building – had been granted an almost identical exemption when its owners converted their facility from retail to restaurant use. “They required a 17-space waiver… and this board unanimously granted that waiver,” Cropper said. “Those findings apply to our business. Hooters is bigger, it attracts more people, and they don’t have another location a couple hundred yards away where they can store their food and employees.” Yet the fact that Hooters had already

as well, and although they have nine spaces, they’re going to ask for a lot more [to be waived]. You have to draw the line someplace,” Mann said. “Any exception doesn’t just happen here, it goes all the way back three blocks, and it’s bad back there,” said Janice Scott, who owns a unit at the El Capitan as well as other properties on the bayside of the downtown area. “If you can afford to keep chipping away at the laws and compromise on the standards that were engineered and justifying it with precedence instead of just acknowledging the mistakes that were made with a place like Hooters … then we’re losing the town,” Scott said. But Cropper stressed that the pre-existing deficiency should not be held against the new lease and that the 15 new spaces should be considered in isolation, from a legal perspective. “I don’t think it’s fair to penalize this property owner because he has a nonconformity that’s a legally existing deficiency,” Cropper said. “There’s no testimony that the parking that this use generates will be any different than retail would generate. I don’t think any of the opposition addressed the code.” Harrison pointed out that the El Capitan was itself deficient given that it had only one parking space per unit, even though some units were multi-bedroom. Scott also admitted that her other prop-
been given an allowance seemed to be the major complaint of those in opposition to the exemption for De Lazy Lizard, namely residents of the El Capitan condominium, just to the south of the Lambros building. “I think that Hooters was a mistake, and I don’t think we should keep repeating them,” said Joanna Laslo, who rents several units in the condominium. Several people testified that congestion in the area was already severe, and that the new restaurant would, in their view, draw more vehicle traffic to the block. “We can’t expand the non-conformity. They don’t all park at the inlet and walk the whole way up,” said Buck Mann, whose company, Mann Properties, manages the facilities at El Capitan. Mann said he has had to hire full-time security personnel for the condominium and its parking lot in order to prevent trespassing and illegal parking, a problem he said was mainly due to the volume of Boardwalk businesses that do not provide compensatory parking spaces. Mann also referenced upcoming plans for a redevelopment at the Hampton House, to the north of the Lambros building, which would create further deficiency. That plan was scheduled to appear before the BZA previously, but was delayed for revision. “You know as well as I do that the Hampton House has appeals coming in

erties have no parking whatsoever. The owner of the Lambros building, Phil Houck, also testified on behalf of his new renter. Houck also owns Bull on the Beach and said the city is going in the wrong direction if it plans to prohibit business improvement. “We’ve never had parking on the Boardwalk and it’s never been a problem,” Houck said. “I could’ve had three T-shirt places in [the Lambros], but I didn’t want that. I wanted a family restaurant because I think we need more of them. I actually got offered more rent [for T-shirt shops], but I turned it down.” “Everybody’s upset because there are so many people and cars, but this is what we are as a town,” said Therese Goldberg, also of Bull on the Beach. “If we’re doing things to shy away from bringing people in, it makes no sense.” Brian McCarthy, owner of the Atlantic House Bed & Breakfast, said the city’s efforts to address the issue seem disjointed. “I just don’t understand, if we have a design standard, when we waive that standard why we don’t charge a fee and use that fee to give the residents … a way to relieve some of the burden that the parking creates,” McCarthy said. “We know that that’s the price residents pay to live at the beach, but if the city doesn’t come up with some kind of plan, I don’t see it getting any better.”

Bd of Ed salary increases on way Concern over monitoring artists Continued from Page 1A
Last year, eligible county employees got a 2 percent cost-of-living increase; during Tuesday’s meeting, Commissioner Judy Boggs made a motion to give them a 2.5 percent cost-of-living increase for fiscal year 2014. Commissioner Madison Bunting vehemently opposed that increase. “I can’t believe you’re giving a raise two years in a row,” Bunting said. Worcester County employees are well compensated for their work considering the level of pay of employees in the private sector, many of whom have not had an increase in salary for several years, Bunting said. As for teachers, Bunting said they “are doing great” as compared to employees in the private sector. Boggs’ motion for a 2.5 percent increase for eligible county employees failed by a vote of 3-4, with only Commissioners Purnell and Bud Church voting along with Boggs. Commissioner Virgil Shockley then made a motion to give eligible county employees a 2 percent cost-of-living increase and that passed by a vote of 4-3, with Purnell, Boggs and Church joining Shockley in favor of it. That vote also gave salary increases to Board of Education employees. When it came time to vote on the issue of more pay for school bus con-
tractors, Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw’s motion for a 1 percent increase failed, with Bunting and Boggs opposed. Although Lockfaw, Church and Louise Gulyas voted in favor of it, the vote failed because four affirmative votes were needed and neither Purnell nor Shockley could vote because of their conflict of interest. The five voting commissioners also failed to pass the next motion, by Boggs, for a 2 percent increase. They passed the next motion, also by Boggs, for a 1.5 percent increase for the school bus contractors. That increase covers mileage, hourly wage and personal vehicle allowance. Only Bunting was opposed, even though he said they deserved it for their work. “It’s a total insult,” Purnell said. “It is unfair.”

and have a place to perform,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “You’re going to have a huge police action to keep them off of there.” The dividing line, Shuster said, could be whether the performance requires electricity. Lights and power access would be provided to paying renters. Still, Councilman and Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Joe Mitrecic worried if the city had thought out how it was going to monitor the stage’s use. “What happens if someone’s out there doing something that isn’t what we would consider ‘family-friendly,’ but there’s no one there to watch them?” he asked.

Councilman Dennis Dare replied that the city should have no problem removing those it found to be objectionable. Even though the facility is adjacent to a public way, there is no expectation of free usage, he said. “It’s not like public right to free speech on the street,“ Dare said. “This is an amenity. We don’t allow people to come up here [to Northside Park] and go into the gym free of charge to exercise their right to free basketball.” At the same time, Dare said, most casual users would likely not require the city to exercise its right to remove them. “If somebody walks by and sits down with an acoustic guitar and puts their hat out [for tips] … do we really care?” he asked.

(May 17, 2013) Given the city’s recent rash of severe storms and flooding, the town may soon be testing its tire-kicking skills with the acquisition of a retired military Humvee. However, as is generally the case with used cars, consistency of product tends to decline with price, meaning the city may have to lower its expectations when it comes to a vehicle that is free, at least in theory. “If you can go get it, basically it’s yours,” said Ocean City Police Department Captain Greg Guiton. “Free is never free, of course. There’s always some associated cost.” Guiton pitched the idea to the city’s Police Commission this week of acquiring a used military vehicle that could patrol through deep to rescue stranded citizens during flooding such as Hurricane Sandy caused this past fall. The federal government routinely offers military vehicles that are being rotated out of service for use by other state and local agencies. The vehicles are typically available to qualifying groups free of charge, as long as they pick them up themselves or pay for shipping costs. “The cost for the Humvee asequipped is zero. The expense starts with transportation and whatever you want to
put on it,” Guiton said. Such vehicles are not often available at military installations close to Ocean City, but Guiton noted that they are currently being offered at both Fort Meade and Dover Air Force Base, meaning that city employees could go check the vehicles out before committing to take them. “If you can go look at them, it’s an advantage. Obviously, the condition is very important,” Guiton said. “During Sandy, the National Guard gave us three Humvees and two Deuceand-a-halfs (two-and-a-half ton trucks) and if you remember they really wanted those back,” said OCPD Capt. Michael Colbert. “It would reduce our need for outside assistance.” Guiton proposed a number of options as far as outfitting the vehicle, and suggested the city could paint it to match the town’s “Mobile Command Center” emergency service bus. He also said that the Maryland State Police have equipped their Humvees with roof caps that offer additional weatherproofing for the notoriously leaky vehicles. However, the commission’s elected officials generally took the ‘less is more stance’ as far as outfitting the vehicle, if a suitable one were to be found. “I’m looking at it strictly for emergency evacuation,” said Mayor Rick Meehan, who rode in one during HurriSee WOULD on Page 27A

New plan cuts back from original 13 officers Continued from Page 1A
March, would necessitate hiring new full time deputy sheriffs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;school security deputiesâ&#x20AC;? at 13 schools. The first year cost of that option, $1.6 million, would include vehicles and equipment. Each year thereafter, the estimated cost would be $1 million. Retirees from the Ocean City Police Department and Maryland State Police had expressed interest in the positions, Mason said. In February, members of the Board of Education voted unanimously to support the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for the 13 new full time deputy sheriffs to provide school security. The second option, at an estimated cost of $604,401, would necessitate hiring part-time deputy sheriffs for the 13 schools. In a letter to newspapers this week, Sheriff Mason say he and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson â&#x20AC;&#x153;feel there is a need for a school security deputy sheriff presence at all of our 13 schools,â&#x20AC;? but he stopped short of saying he now prefers this second option over the first option, which is not mentioned in the letter. Written information dated March 25, however, states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;after discussion and consideration, the amended proposed plan focused on 13 Part-Time positions to help reduce the overall cost of the program.â&#x20AC;? To cut expenses, the sher-
iff eliminated 13 vehicles for a savings of $359,684, vehicle equipment for a savings of $301,657.46 and uniforms for a savings of $37,256.25. The part-time deputies would work 188 days and would be off during the summer months. That would cut an additional $174,460 from the cost. Gerry Mason, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief administrative officer, told the Worcester County Commissioners during their budget work session Tuesday that he had devised a third option because of the high cost of the first option presented by the sheriff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got sticker shock,â&#x20AC;? Mason said. Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s option would involve municipal police officers, plus police officers of Ocean Pines and one deputy, to be at the 13 public schools during their opening and dismissal times. His suggestion that Ocean Pines police officers could patrol Showell Elementary School and Ocean City Elementary School surprised Commissioner Louise Gulyas, who asked if he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;really have them go out of their jurisdiction.â&#x20AC;? He would. Police officers would be at the schools for approximately 45 minutes for each period for a total of 90 minutes per day. In exchange for their time, the county would pay each town, and Ocean Pines, $25,000 per officer. Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal also involves hiring
two new full-time deputies at a total cost of $350,260, including benefits. Those deputies, he said, would rotate among the schools to provide visible security. When the schools were not opening or dismissing students, they would be on lockdown. Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners, said Sandy Hook Elementary School was on lockdown when the shooter shot a door to gain entry to kill students and Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw said having officers at schools for opening and dismissal times might not be enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protection is most important on the inside rather than on the outside,â&#x20AC;? Lockfaw said. The commissioners authorized Mason to apply for a federal grant that would cover 75 percent of the salaries and benefits for two new deputies for one year, even though they made no decision to endorse that option. To cover the cost of the police officers at each school, the county would reimburse the towns and Ocean Pines for their time. Although Mason had not talked to all of the police chiefs, he said Snow Hill Police Chief Kirk Daugherty had told him that he would need to hire an additional police officer to be able to have officers at schools during opening and dismissal times.

The Maryland Coastal Bays Program sponsored the event, along with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Salisbury Zoo and Salisbury University. More than 60 volunteers found 132 individuals from 19 species on four sites during the search. These included rare species like the coastal plain milksnake, eastern narrow-mouthed toad and smooth earthsnake. Low frog numbers continue to cause concern. The data will be used in the Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas. Any citizen who sees or photographs any reptile or amphibian can share the data, which should include the date

City campaign to combat online booking losses ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) Ocean City may soon be campaigning against online booking sites in order to boost room tax revenues and help resort hotels, encouraging vacationers to book their rooms directly through the hotels themselves instead of through agencies. John Gehrig, owner of local web development business D3 Corp, explained the situation to the city’s Tourism Commission this week regarding the increased market domination of large online travel agencies. “I’m not saying people should-
n’t utilize these sites, but they should be aware of what’s going on,” Gehrig said. National-brand online travel agents such as Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity book rooms under a contract with their respective hotels. The hotels typically offer bookers a volume discount, meaning that the price the agency gives the hotels for these rooms is typically below what would be considered market value. But the price the agency charges the consumer is typically higher, given that the agency’s own fee is included. The incentive for the hotels themselves is the agency’s ability
to reach a deeper and wider market than a hotel – particularly small, independent, establishments – would be able to do itself. Once consistent customers are obtained, it is expected that they will book directly through the hotel itself in the future, a factor that is critical to a resort town that has a large volume of repeat customers. “Once you acquire the customers, you want those people to book directly with you the next time they come,” Gehrig said. However, travel sites have made a concerted effort in recent years to counteract this model by

Trolley project on hold until next year due to lack of funds (May 17, 2013) Plans for two trolleys to carry visitors to and from places in West Ocean City, Berlin, Assateague Island, Ocean Pines and points in between this summer have been tabled due to lack of funds. “We are obviously really disappointed, but knowing we’ll have more time to get everything ready for next spring, including all the marketing, makes us have something to shoot for and look forward to,” Worcester County Tourism Director Lisa Challenger said Monday. Shore Transit Deputy Director Brad Bellacicco of the Tri-County Council of the Lower Eastern Shore told the Worcester County Commissioners in April that the buses would be purchased from the town of Ocean City, which approached the council’s Shore Transit Division in early February with an offer to sell them. The buses, which look like trolleys and are said to be in good condition, are suitable for use for special events or special service routes. The Tri-County Council wanted to use them for special routes to enhance the experience of visitors to

the area. A similar transportation project has been in operation in Annapolis for several months. The proposal was for the trolleys to make six runs each day from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the busy tourist months. They would leave from the Park and Ride in West Ocean City. The route would take visitors to the commercial harbor in West Ocean City, the Casino at Ocean Downs, Ocean Pines and other places. Frontier Town on Route 611 and the Francis Scott Key Motel on Route 50 in West Ocean City have shuttle buses for their guests, but they were interested in being part of the new shuttle venture in addition to that. The trolleys would have operated from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend at an estimated operating cost of $140,000. The Tri-County Council was unable to raise that much cash on short notice. Funds in the form of sponsorships were sought from businesses and chambers of commerce, but not enough was raised to make the project a reality for this summer. Supporters had hoped to raise enough funds to provide the transportation service and to provide it at no

Several non-profits receive county funding, while others are cut NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) The Worcester County Commissioners were not feeling generous during budget session talks about nonprofits Tuesday. Some of the social service non-profits got the commissioners’ financial backing while others did not. Atlantic General Hospital got $50,000 from the county for fiscal year 2013 and was slated to get $100,000 for fiscal year 2014. The county’s budget review committee recommended the increase, but it failed and the hospital will get $50,000 instead. “Why do they need $100,000?” asked Commissioner Virgil Shockley. “They gave more than that in bonuses last year.” Holding a publication from the hospital, Shockley said its information stated that the hospital’s revenue for the past fiscal year was $1.456 million and that its plans included expansion to southern Delaware. Commissioner Louise Gulyas and Commission President Bud Church wanted the county to give $100,000, but the other commissioners voted to give $50,000. “It’s a community hospital and we said we’d support it,” Gulyas said. “We need the hospital and we need to support it.” “A dollar is a dollar,” Commissioner
LAUREN BUNTING R E A LTO R ® Cell: 410.422.9899 Lwbunting@comcast.net
Madison Bunting said. The American Red Cross, which had been penciled in for $2,000, was slashed to zero because the organization no longer provides food or manpower to shelters in the county during hurricanes or other disasters. The Cricket Center in Berlin, which includes a place for child victims of abuse to be interviewed, had requested $42,000 and the county’s budget review committee recommended that amount, but the commissioners nixed it. It would have been a new addition to the county’s budget. The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, which operates the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program, was budgeted at $5,000, but the commissioners cut it down to $1,000. Diakonia, which provides emergency and transitional housing with counseling
for its guests, plus emergency food supplies got the approval for its requested $42,000, but not enthusiastically, as Commissioner Louise Gulyas asked how much the non-profit makes from its recently expanded thrift shop on Route 611. Samaritan Shelter, which provides emergency housing in the southern end of the county, got more than its requested $15,000. Because that shelter has expanded and now provides housing for women and their children, the commissioners increased the county’s donation to $20,000. The commissioners also approved $219,497 for the Worcester County Developmental Center, $3,600 for BRAVE (Berlin Reclaims Attitudes and Value Enhancement), $9,000 for the Drug and Alcohol Council, $11,250 for Hartley Hall, $8,100 for the Life Crisis Center, $900 for

That category in the county budget also includes state pass-through grants of $68,307 for Diakonia, $19,250 for Samaritan Shelter and $40,000 for Social Services. Altogether, the category was budgeted at $738,614, but the commissioners lowered it by $93,000, after cutting $98,000 and adding $5,000, for a final total of $645,614. The final budget vote is scheduled for June 4.

Grant received for regional health insurance assistance prog. (May 17, 2013) Worcester County Health Department has been selected by the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange to implement a regional consumer assistance program to help educate, determine eligibility and enroll uninsured residents into private health plans or Medicaid. “We are honored to be selected as the connector program for the Lower Eastern Shore,” said Worcester County Health Officer Deborah Goeller. “We look forward to working with our state and local partners to help people select plans offered through Maryland Health Connection.” The Maryland Health Benefit Exchange is the public corporation and unit of Maryland state government responsible for the implementation of the statebased insurance exchange through the Affordable Care Act. The anticipated $1.2 million grant will
fund the new program which includes staff who will provide face-to-face assistance with navigating Maryland Health Connection, the state-based health insurance marketplace, in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties. The Lower Shore program operated by the Worcester County Health Department will employ 17 new positions to provide outreach, education, eligibility determination and enrollment services particularly to hard-to-reach populations. Education and outreach about Maryland Health Connection will begin this summer. Open enrollment for the health benefit plans will take place from October 2013 to March 2014. Having health insurance can help protect from unexpected costs, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Web site healthcare.gov.

Hurricane Preparedness Day, May 18 (May 17, 2013) The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1, and forecasters are predicting the season to be more active than normal, with 18 named storms and nine hurricanes, four of which are likely to be category three or higher. To help area residents prepare in advance for these potential weather related disasters, Worcester County Emergency Services, along with Ocean City Emergency Services, will host Hurricane Preparedness Day at Walmart in Berlin on Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with displays and events for youth and adults. Both the Worcester County Special Operations Trailer and the Ocean City Mobile Command Post will be on display that day, as well as apparatus from the Ocean City Beach Patrol and area police, fire and EMS agencies. WCES, OCES and Walmart officials will host an emergency preparedness scavenger hunt as well, and one lucky winner will walk away with a weather radio. “Those participating in the scavenger hunt will receive a list of items that should
be included in an emergency evacuation kit,” said Emergency Services Deputy Director Fred Webster said. “They’ll be directed into the store to find as many items on the master kit list as possible, and they’ll have to mark where they found each item. The person who finds the most items will win a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radio.” While putting together a family emergency plan may seem like a daunting task, the Family Emergency Preparedness Guide, developed by Worcester County Emergency Services, can be used to help you write this plan. This guide also contains important contact information, such as county and support agency phone numbers, television and radio stations broadcasting the Emergency Alert System. The guide is available at the Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill and at all Worcester County branch libraries and on the county Web site at www.co.worcester.md.us.

IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT A NEW CAR HERE’S SOME “FOOD FOR THOUGHT” SHORE SPIRITS GRAND OPENING
OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL
The Worcester County Commissioners, in conjunction with the Department of Liquor Control, will celebrate the grand opening of the new Shore Spirits Retail Liquor Store on Tuesday, May 21, at 1:30 p.m. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place in front of the store, located in the Verizon Shopping Center on the eastbound side of Route 50 a quarter of a mile east of Seahawk Road near Berlin. Special events that day will include wine and spirits tastings. In February, the commissioners unanimously approved the re-branding of DLC retail liquor stores, adopting a new, what is thought to be a customer friendly and inviting image to be known as Shore Spirits. The new 4,800-square-foot store, which will include both a retail and wholesale operations center, is the first of the DLC stores to adopt the new title and logo.

cost to passengers. When Challenger asked the Worcester County Commissioners for $10,000 last month for the shuttle project, she was told that the request would be considered during budget deliberations, which had not yet begun. Bud Church, president of the commissioners, told Challenger to put a dollar in a slot machine at the Casino at Ocean Downs to raise some money. Although his remark might have seemed flippant, he said this week he is disappointed that the project had run out of
gas, so to speak. “I was very sorry to hear the news,” Church said Monday. “I thought it would have been a big success and especially for the West Ocean City and Berlin areas. I hope they can work out the details for next summer.” During the Worcester County Commissioners’ budget work session Tuesday, Gerry Mason, the county’s chief administrative officer, said he had a request the day before for a contribution of $50,000 for the trolley project. “Oh, my lord,” Commissioner Virgil Shockley said.

Odeh is allegedly an adherent of Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind sheik serving a life sentence for his part in a foiled 1993 plot to blow up landmarks in New York, according to Daily News reports. However, according to the newspaper, the Ramadans are considered to be the leaders of the smuggling operation itself and are likely to be charged as such by the New York Attorney General.

The New York City Police Department has reportedly been tracking one of the defendants, Youssef Odeh, 52, of Staten Island, in conjunction with his support for !

It further highlights why the Comptroller’s Office needs to have all the tools and legal backing necessary to combat contraband trafficking,” he said. Comptroller’s field enforcement agents have made 150 arrests, seizing nearly 316,000 packs of cigarettes valued at more than $2 million in the past year. $

Given that the combined state and municipal tax on cigarettes in New York City is $4.35 per pack, black market cigarette sellers can raise their margins considerably and still offer a bargain price.

County budget talks take warts-and-all approach Whether people like the results or not, it has to be said that the Worcester County Commissioners are going about setting the next fiscal year’s budget in the right way. Of course, when budget requests are $7 million or so more than anticipated revenue, they have no choice but to scrutinize and debate even comparatively minor expenditures. Normally, one would not expect haggling over a half-percent pay raise for this or that department or contractor, but that is the new reality of things. The money simply is not there as it once was, when high housing prices, and the property taxes they generated, stuffed local government treasuries to exceptionally comfortable levels. To the county’s credit, it has saved itself plenty of additional grief by being cautious with its spending for several years, so that as painful as some decisions might be today, they aren’t nearly as bad as they might have been. Unfortunately, there are no magic bullets to cure budget problems at any level of government and everyone has a favorite service, department or nonprofit entity that he or she believes should be at the top of the funding list. The problem, though, is that completely satisfying the financial wants and needs of one favorite requires someone else’s favorite to take the hit. Politically, that is not a happy place to be, and it is even more difficult when the disagreements between commissioners on specific funding levels play out in public. That, however, is the way it is supposed to be done and hats off to the commissioners for doing it. As tough as budgeting is during these lean years, the public has to appreciate the opportunity to see and understand how these difficult decisions are made.

Common Core uncommon mess Editor, “Put simply, there are really only two options when it comes to who will determine the substance of a child’s education: it will be either a bureaucrat who doesn’t know the child’s name¨ or a parent who would pour out their last drop of blood for the child” … Arizona Congressman Trent Franks On June 22, 2010, by a vote of 110, Maryland State Dept. Of Education adopted the Common Core Standards. Without input from parents or the state legislature, 11 unelected officials made a decision that will change the course of education in Maryland forever. School officials say that the adoption of CC was state-led. I propose that one governor and 11 appointed bureaucrats making an education decision of this magnitude without taxpayers, parents or legislative input is not state-led. CC was not developed by the states but rather by a D.C.based nonprofit called Achieve Inc., under the auspices of D.C. private trade associations, National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers funded by a Federal grant of $362 million from U.S. Department of Education. Neither NGA nor CCSSO, had a grant of legislative authority from the states to develop “national standards.” To the extent states had any input in CC, it was limited to offering suggestions
that may or may not have been accepted by the people in control. MSDE adopted these standards untested, unpiloted with no cost analysis. Can you imagine a drug company putting a new drug on the market without testing it for years? MSDE has decided to use our children as guinea pigs. Worcester County Superintendent of Public Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson and School Board President Robert Rothermel in a recent article stated that “CC impacts decision making rather than adding additional expenditures.” I sure hope they’re right. A white paper from the Pioneer Institute states, “Over a typical standards time horizon of seven years, we project Common Core implementation costs will total approximately $15.8 billion across participating states. This constitutes a “midrange” estimate that only addresses the basic expenditures required for implementation of the new standards.” Testing is not teaching. Students, parents, teachers and, I suspect, administrators are tired of having to “teach to the test.” CC will require additional testing. Instead of MSA once a year in grades 3-8, PARCC national tests will be conducted twice a year in grades 3-11 for both math and English Language Arts. This high stakes testing will directly link teachers’ and principals’ evaluations to student achievement. In my opinion, this additional testing will not
foster an environment for learning, but rather a “teach to the test” classroom, removing all creativity for teachers to engage with their students and possibly discourage the love of learning. CC is “No Child Left Behind” on steroids. Dr. Wilson and Mr. Rothermel stated that, “Forty-five states are implementing the CCSS that are high quality, internationally benchmarked standards.” A) There are currently 16 states in discussion or taking action from withdrawing from the Common Core Standards. B) Where is the evidence of high quality? C) No information was ever presented to the CC Validation Committee to show how CC stacked up against standards of other highachieving countries. In fact, the CC Web site no longer claims that the standards are “internationally benchmarked” — the Web site now states that they “are informed by other top performing countries.” There is no definition of what “informed by” means. A May 8 Maryland State Education Association survey stated, “82 percent of teachers believe that significant challenges remain to understanding and implementing Common Core in their school.” I have been told by school officials that they will retain control over their curriculum, but how can that be? How do you control something that you don’t Continued on Page 21A

READERS’ FORUM
By Stewart Dobson Our managing editor, Brandi Mellinger, is leaving us this week to pursue a temporary assignment as a mood adjustment technician, which is to say she will be working at Shorebilly Brewing Co. on the Boardwalk this summer. What she does after the season is undecided, more or less, as she contemplates a number of career choices: 1. Neurosurgeon; 2. Plate spinner (with the circus music); 3. Kung fu fighter; 4. Trampoline artist. Brandi has worked with us for the better part of a decade, a time in which we learned not necessarily new words, but how to string them together in an unusual, albeit entertaining, fashion. I never knew, for instance, that you could say on deadline, “——-you ——-, or I’ll ——-, your ——-! Superb language skills are required to incorporate that many action verbs in the same sentence. I have to say, however, that she is a “blinds all the way up or all the way down” kind of person, which means that whatever you do, there is no halfway, unless you want to hear something resembling the previously discussed action-verb sentence. Seriously, it was a painful lesson learned when I unconsciously used a BLUE pen to write something on the news copy log instead of the RED pen, thus risking universal destruction. And then there are the dogs — Ella the deer-like great dane and Elyh, the elderly terrier, who just the other day threatened to unravel the veins in one of my ankles as I shifted my feet under the desk, where he had taken up temporary residence. He does that because I’m a major crumb dropper and he enjoys cleaning the carpet after I have lunch. It’s a good thing that he’s old, because also just the other day I was able to out-scramble him to an errant malted milk ball candy that, had he eaten it, would have required a higher level of carpet cleaning altogether. In addition, now that he’s leaving, I will have to resume pulling the weeds outside of the office, rather than watching them wither as the result of his expert attention. As for Ella the great dane, it’s a shame that she is leaving just as she was getting a handle on good headline writing AND could tell the difference between the RED pen and the BLUE pen. When a zillionpound dog growls at you, you put the BLUE pen down. Finally, if you’re on the boards this summer, drop in to see Brandi at Shorebilly at 10th Street and leave a big tip. She deserves it and, not to make a big deal of it, this widely read plug is only costing her 10 percent. Keep one on ice for me.
School safety deputies needed
Continued from Page 20A own? NGA & CCSSO owns the standards. They copyrighted them and issued a limitation of liability excusing them of any harm as a result of using the standards. Dr. Wilson states that we will not lose “the autonomy to decide how to teach the standards.” I contend that you lose your autonomy when you let private trade groups create the standards. The real issue is not the testing or whether it was state led. The issue is whether Maryland citizens and the state gave up their sovereignty and autonomy to unelected bureaucrats and special interest groups. I believe that control of our school system should begin at the local level not the national level. This top down control is not what most teachers, students, or taxpayers want or deserve.

22A OPINION
MAY 17, 2013
READERS’ FORUM Continued from Page 20A of our 13 schools. At a cost of $600,000, we can place a part-time deputy sheriff in each school. They will be trained as active shooters to deal with an immediate threat and quickly end it. It takes time to assemble swat team members; in the mean time, irreparable damage can occur in seconds — just as the parents, teachers and community members are aware of in Newtown, Virginia Tech and Columbine, just to name a few. My active shooter trainees will also train our local police in the active shooter program, so when they are responding to assist they will know their assignment. As with anything, this is not 100 percent safe proof; however, if we don’t try we will be putting out zero percent effort. I feel our children deserve the best protection we can offer. I am genuinely concerned for our children. They are so precious and innocent. As a member of the community if I had a child, grandchild or if one of my friends had kids in school I would want an active shooter present. My job as your sheriff is to face problems such as school security or anything else that pertains to law enforcement and solve it before it escalates. Reggie Mason Sheriff of Worcester County
County on negative trend Editor, This letter is in regard to last Tuesday’s
public hearing on the requested budget for the upcoming fiscal year. [Superintendent of Worcester County Public Schools] Dr. Jerry Wilson’s request for a 5 percent increase for teachers’ health insurance is ridiculous. The teachers a make a nice starting salary of $42,222 and if you add in the fantastic health and pension benefits, they have to be in the top end of the income level in Worcester County, and that is not considering the income of a spouse if they are married. The teachers should pay for any increase the same way my wife have to pay for increase in Medicare and secondary health insurance premiums each year. We cannot ask someone else to pay for it, but have to cut back our expenses. I don’t have the numbers for a teacher’s salary with tenure, but I am sure it is much higher than the $42,222. The Maryland Department of Education released the county funding for fiscal 2012 and Worcester was the highest by far at $11,389 [average spending per pupil]. The second highest was Montgomery at $9,758. It seems to me that we are spending far too much and there should be room for cutting. The budget hearing this year was a repeat of last year’s executed tax increase and where 90 percent of the people at the hearing were teachers or Board of Education [staff]. The commissioners offered no long-term plan or solution and continue to use a Band Aid approach. They should not entertain a requested budget with a $7 million shortfall.
The county departments should have been directed to cut expenses so there would be a zero deficit. I for one expect an increased exodus from Maryland to more tax friendly states if we continue on this negative trend. John Pinnero West Ocean City
Base budget on facts and figures Editor, I am writing regarding the Worcester County Budget Hearing held on May 7. Current budget requests exceed anticipated revenues by approximately $7M. To fully fund the requests, the commissioners would have to raise property tax rates. In these hard economic times, with many county residents unemployed or underemployed, businesses struggling to stay afloat, and more tax increases being forced on the citizens by the state and federal governments, it would be unwise to raise property taxes. The teachers union recently sent out a flyer to county residents regarding the hearing and the Board of Education’s request for a “modest increase in funding for next year.” The flyer made the claim that the county had a surplus last year of $7 million. This is a little misleading. Yes, revenues last year were approximately $7 million more than anticipated, and after an audit, the commissioners prudently decided to use the funds to pay down
school construction and other debt and to replenish the budget stabilization fund. County Finance Officer Harold Higgins informed the commissioners during a recent commissioners’ meeting that, unless there is a major change in projected revenues (unlikely, considering the continued stagnation in the real estate market), the budget stabilization fund will be depleted by 2015, only two years in the future. That $7 million surplus isn’t just lying around waiting to be spent. Several citizens, including myself, spoke out against increasing any part of the budget, including the Board of Education. Listening to some of the emotional speeches from those in favor of increased school funding and teacher raises, one could be forgiven for expecting to see the teachers present sprout wings and halos. Such was the emotionalism of the “Pro education” speakers — as if it is “anti-education” to state the obvious fact that we don’t have the money to fund increasing the budget in any area, including education. Yes, we have good schools in Worcester County, and yes, most of our teachers are very good and probably do deserve raises, but the bottom line is this — budgets are based on facts and figures, not emotion. Lots of taxpayers in the county probably deserve raises, but wishing doesn’t make it so. For the time being, and in these difficult times, I believe all county departments should be able to make do with their current budgets. Carol Frazier Ocean Pines

Stabbing A 47-year-old Ocean City woman was arrested on May 9 after allegedly stabbing a woman she lived with. Although Sharon Lee Ward lived with the victim, a Maryland Court Final Domestic Protective Order prohibited her from having any contact with her. But the two argued and during a struggle, Ward allegedly attacked the woman with a kitchen knife, stabbing her Sharon Ward multiple times. The victim fled and, with the assistance of neighbors, contacted police at about 3:50 a.m. Ocean City paramedics treated the victim for neck and shoulder wounds before

She was taken to the Public Safety Building, where she was charged with first- and second-degree assault, having a weapon with the intent to injure, reckless endangerment and violation of a protective order. Ward was being held in the Worcester County jail on $150,000 bond.
ward Thomas Johnson, 25, of Salisbury, drove his scooter into its rear, causing him to be ejected. Johnson was wearing a helmet, but it became dislodged because of the collision and failed to fully protect him. The officer in the patrol car rendered immediate aid to Johnson before paramedics arrived. The officer was treated at Atlantic General Hospital for minor injuries and was released. The Ocean City Police Department press release said Johnson was believed to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision.
During a search of Gibbs after his arrest, police found suspected heroin. They charged him with possession of heroin, trespassing and making a false statement, because he had given officers a false identity.

Two more suspects arrests in April 28 stabbing incident NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (May 17, 2013) Ocean City police charged two additional suspects last week in connection with a stabbing outside a convenience store April 28. Brandon Maurice Hudson, 24, of Snow Hill, was charged with first- and second-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon after C. Jones police located him in Berlin. Police had viewed surveillance video taken inside the 26th Street 7Eleven that showed Hudson. They broadcast his description and a taxi driver also described Hudson to police during D. Waters their investigation. Hudson denied stabbing the man, who suffered two stab wounds, one above his waist and the other in his chest. Both wounds were approximately 3 inches deep and the knife had lacerated a section of his small intestines. According to the charging document, Hudson said he tripped over the curb at the 7-Eleven and the knife came out of his pocket. He picked it up and stabbed the victim as he was walking toward him. The victim told police he did not realize he had been stabbed until he returned to his 146th Street residence. He told police he thought his attacker was trying to kill him.

Resort room tax lost to brokers who dominate search engines Continued from Page 13A
purchasing the rights to popular hotel names on major search internet search engines. Most engines, including Google, which makes up the vast majority of the market share, will place one Web site’s results for a certain search word or words above other sites’ results if that site pays money. Large travel agencies routinely buy the search engine rights to popular hotel names, and even go so far as to create keyword-specific sites that mimic the actual websites of the hotels they have paid to be billed above. This keeps customers coming back to the booking agent, not the hotel itself. For instance, Gehrig pointed out, the first two results of a search for the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City are not the Carousel’s site itself, but the Carousel-

specific addresses of booking agents who have paid for the rights to the term “Carousel Hotel.” “These two listings are paid listings … they are giving Google money to be listed above the Carousel,” Gehrig said. “They used to highlight the paid listings, but every month the highlight gets a little lighter.” The price of such rights can be far above what non-chain hotels can pay. “It’s become an accepted practice,” Gehrig said. “Expedia didn’t use to buy your brand name, but now they do. If your customers are going to pay commission [to the agent] every time they book with you, it’s going to eat away at your bottom line.” Gehrig also runs a booking agency himself, but said that online monopolization by national brokers was already
doing more harm to locally based agents than would be done by encouraging vacationers to bypass sites such as his. “I’m not picking on online travel agencies, because I am one,” Gehrig said. “But the market is getting strangled due to the technology field.” Tourism Commission Chair Mary Knight suggested the city incorporate a direct-booking message into its Web site and promotional materials, “to try to educate folks that it’s easier to book direct.” Further, Maryland has had a difficult relationship with online booking agents regarding their surrendering of state taxes. Maryland levies a six percent sales tax on bookings, and an additional room tax that varies with jurisdiction. In Worcester County, it’s 4.5 percent. But ensuring that national booking agents pay the appropriate amount is difficult.
As far back as 2007, various entities have sued online travel brokers for back taxes and occasionally have won. Worcester County joined an action in 2010, according to city Internal Auditor Susan Childs, and received $100,500 in compensation, of which $80,500 went to the city’s coffers. The state has continued to submit that online agencies should not pay taxes based off the room price they receive from local hotels, but off the price offered by the agency to the consumer. “You need to let it be known that you’re looking into this, because your returns will be better if they know that you are,” said Margo Amelia, executive director of the Maryland Office of Tourism. “I think we are still losing room tax [to the brokers],” city Tourism Director Donna Abbott agreed.

Seahawks and Gators battle for Reg. title
Lady Mallards capture eighth ESIAC title
LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) The battle between Stephen Decatur and the Mt. Hebron Vikings baseball teams went nine innings on Monday, with the Seahawks scoring a single run to advance to Wednesday’s 3A East Regional tournament semifinals. The third-seeded Decatur squad received a first round bye, while the No. 6 Vikings faced the No. 11 Annapolis Panthers last Friday for the chance to play the Seahawks. Mt. Hebron outscored Annapolis 15-5 and made the trip to Berlin Monday. Both the Seahawks and Vikings had opportunities throughout the game, but neither could generate a run. In the top of the ninth, Decatur successfully completed a double play for the Vikings’ second and third outs. In the bottom of the inning, Grant Donahue was walked and Austin Dundore, a sophomore, came in to run the bases for Decatur’s sophomore pitcher. Junior Andrew Borradaile’s hit went through the legs of Mt. Hebron’s second baseman and Dundore advanced to third. Senior Chase Church stepped to the plate and lobbed a blooper just past first base, which dropped in fair territory and Dundore scored to give Decatur the 1-0 victory. “I feel like we had the ability to score, we just needed timely hitting,” said Decatur Coach Rich Ferro. “Pitching and defense was phenomenal. Grant was good on the mound and kept us in it and we made plays when we had to.” Donahue struck out 10 Vikings, walked one and allowed just on hit. Sophomore Justin Meekins had two hits. Juniors Chase Coursey and Jacob Hickman and Church each had a hit. “The boys were excited, but it’s only one game and there’s a lot of baseball left to be played,” Ferro said after MonSee DECATUR on Page 41A

ESIAC CHAMPIONS Mallards capture lacrosse title, with 20-5 win over Sabres LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team dominated its Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, in the championship finals last Friday in Berlin. The Lady Mallards won the game 20-5 to capture the ESIAC trophy. “I think they probably played one of their best games as a full team,” said Prep Coach Marci Ginsberg. “Transition in the midfield was key to getting goals.” The game was tight early, but the Mallards started to pull away, netting shot after shot. At the halftime break, the home team led 12-2. The Sabres played a man down for
the second half after received four yellow cards in the first half. Ten players scored for Worcester. Leading the charge was senior captain Meredith Smith with six goals. Senior captain Alex Bruder and juniors Kristen Shriver, Lilly DiNardo, Meg Lingo and Frankie Willing each tallied two goals apiece. Goalie Maddie Pilchard, a junior, made five save in the first half. Sophomore Carolyn Dorey took over in goal for the Mallards in the second half and stopped seven Sabres’ shots. “Defense was definitely our strong suit and we were communicating on offense. We were patient and not forcing anything,” Ginsberg said. “The girls did a good job.”
The Mallards advanced to the finals after shutting out the Salisbury School Dragons 27-0 two days earlier. Nineteen players scored. Smith led the team with three goals. The Mallards won 13 games this season and lost two. DiNardo was named ESIAC Player of the Year. DiNardo, Shriver, Smith, Bruder, Pilchard and senior captain Molly Marshall received AllESIAC First Team honors. Senior Dara Pappas, junior Alissa Talbert and sophomore Molly Soulé were awarded with Second Team accolades. “Overall, it was an extremely successful season. It was such a good team effort,” Ginsberg said. “They worked together, they learned quickly See LADY on Page 40A
Wor. falls to Calverton in MILL semis LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team’s season came to an end last Wednesday, when the Mallards fell to the Calverton Cougars, 18-6, in the Metro In-
dependent Lacrosse League’s east division semifinals. “They’re a very good team and unfortunately, we just came out flat,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said after the May 8 game in Annapolis. “Defensively, we tried to go from zone to man-to-man and it didn’t
seem to matter. They were taking advantage of everything we were doing. We seemed very stagnant and they were finding our holes.” The Cougars scored three quick goals and led 7-1 at the end of the first quarter. By See PLAYERS on Page 42A
(May 17, 2013) The Worcester Prep girls’ tennis team captured its eighth consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title last Friday in Easton. “The girls did a great job. The competition was at a higher level then it has been in the past and the girls got the job done,” said Prep girls’ Coach Cyndee Hudson. Worcester Prep, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, Gunston Day Herons and Salisbury School Dragons participated in the tournament. In girls’ singles competition, the finals came down two Worcester players: sophomore Tatjana Kondraschow and freshman Sonja Walker. Kondraschow won 8-2. “It was a great match. They both hit very hard and it was exciting to watch,” Hudson said. “It was much closer than the score reflected.” Juniors Claire Stickler and Hannah Esham took home the doubles title, with an 8-4 victory over Gunston Day’s pair. In mixed doubles action, Worcester seniors London Walker and girls’ team co-captain Parker Kellam teamed up for competition. Junior captain Lydia Pritchard played with sophomore Kyle Chandler. Both Prep teams won their first matches, but lost their second. “I was pleased with mixed doubles. They only had a few days to practice together and I was thrilled with their play,” Hudson said. The Sabres took home the boys’ team title. Worcester’s senior captain Thomas Thornett made it to the semifinal round in singles competition. Sophomore captain Quinn Lukas and junior Chase Schmehling advanced to the doubles semifinals. “The [ESIAC tournament] format is totally opposite of the regular season … You have six See GIRLS on Page 39A

Decatur senior Patrick Phillips threw the shot put 47 feet 2 inches to capture the title in the event. Senior Zachary Watters finished second in the pole vault, but his height of 12 feet 6 inches was a personal best. Sunny Aroh, a senior, placed third in the competition, with a vault of 10 feet 6 inches. Sophomore Lucas Duker, the indoor track high jump state champion, came in third place in the Bayside event (6 feet). He also placed third in the 110-meter high hurdles (16.72 seconds). Senior Kyle Kelly claimed third place in the 400-meter dash (51.84 seconds). The 3,200-meter relay team, which consisted of seniors Lance Ward, Dan Winters and Nick Molitor and freshman Scott Berry, raced to a third-place finish (8:47.36). Decatur trailed North Caroline by a point with one event remaining, the 1,600-meter relay race. Aroh, Kelly, Ward and Winters took second in the event (3:35.98), behind North Caroline’s foursome (3:31.67). The victory secured the team win for the Bulldogs. “It shouldn’t have even come down to that. If you look at the results [North Caroline] had a number of Bayside champions,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “Some people didn’t perform as well as expected. Usually at Baysides, people get [personal records], but we stayed the same and didn’t improve.” The Lady Seahawks scored 99.5 points. The Kent Island Buccaneers won the competition with 136 points. “Kent Island was a little stronger than I expected them to be,” Stigler said. “The girls finished about where I thought they would.” Junior Alex Saunders’ high jump height of 4 feet 10 inches earned her the title in the event. Hannah Wilson, a sophomore, finished in third place with a jump of 4 feet 8 inches. Senior Ameerah Lewis became the Bayside champion in the shot put, with a throw of 36 feet .5 inches, a personal best by about three feet. Junior Katie Collins pole vaulted 8 feet, good for second place. Rebecca Lederman, a junior, claimed third-place honors in the 100- (13.2 seconds) 200(28.1 seconds) and 400-meter (1:03.09) dashes. And, freshman Emily Cook crossed the finish line third in the 100meter hurdles (18 seconds). The two-day 3A East Regional meet was scheduled to begin Thursday at Reservoir High School in Fulton, Md. Day 2 of the competition is set for Saturday. “It’s more about the individual now as opposed to Baysides when you’re going for a team award,” Stigler said. “It’s more about getting kids to qualify for states.” The top four athletes in each regional event will advance to the 3A state championship meet, May 24-25, at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

of your eight players playing doubles and at least three of them haven’t played doubles all season, and you have only two or three days to put together a mixed doubles team (which we never use in the regular season),” said Prep boys’ Coach Keith Coleman. “There are some years when the format works to your advantage and other years it almost penalizes you for having depth. This year the format did not serve the makeup of the boys’ team, [but] regardless of the format, our players clearly underperformed
at the ESIAC tournament.” The Lady Mallards finished the season 15-2. The girls lost to James M. Bennett and Stephen Decatur, both Bayside Conference schools, during their first meetings, but then edged out their opponents in the second match-ups. “It was an exciting year. The girls just got better and better as the season went on,” Hudson said. “I’m happy for the girls and everything they accomplished this season.” The 2013 squad will lose only senior Kellam, who, Hudson said, demonstrated exceptional leadership throughout the sea-
son on and off the court. Kellam mentored first-year players and counseled those with varsity experience, Hudson said. Hudson expects the returning players to continue to elevate their skills by playing in the off-season and come back in 2014 with more experience. They boys’ squad went 9-6 in 2013. “I don’t feel the ESIAC tournament is a good representation of the level of team play,” Coleman said. The team seemed to peak in the last week of the season with the two big wins at Stephen Decatur and Parkside … It was a season of ups and
downs, and sadly, we ended on a definite down note.” Thornett, who Coleman said has anchored the team the last two years, and Walker will graduate in a few weeks. “We will miss [Thornett’s] leadership as much as his tennis skills. London was a doubles specialist and was a hard worker and contributor in all our matches,” Coleman said. “We have eight players coming back next year, including four of our top five singles players. Therefore, the foundation should be there again for a lot of depth.”

Seahawks top Clippers, but defeated by Lions LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) The Stephen Decatur and Queen Anne’s girls’ lacrosse teams went headto-head in a physical match-up on Monday, but it was the Lions who came out on top 1511 on their field in Centreville during the 3A-2A East Regional tournament semifinals. The visiting Seahawks, seeded second in the east sectional bracket of the region, trailed 3-0, but fought back and had earned a 6-5 advantage going into the halftime break. During intermission, Decatur Coach Bob Musitano said he told his players the team that scored first in the second half would have the momentum, and he was correct. The top seeded Lions netted three shots to pull ahead 8-6. Goals were traded over the next few minutes. Queen Anne’s led 10-8 and scored five unanswered goals to boost its advantage 15-8. “They scored five quick goals and then they held the ball,” Musitano said. The Seahawks tallied three

goals, but were unsuccessful at a come-from-behind victory. “They all stepped up for the game and gave it all they had. It was a fight,” Musitano said.
“They were really battling it out. It was quite a game.” Decatur senior goalie Skylar Siegfried stopped nine Lions’ shots. Senior Eileen
Hayman scored three goals for the Seahawks. Captain Ashley Trice, a senior, junior Layla Fowler and sophomore Blair Yesko each netted two shots. Decatur advanced to the semifinal round with a 20-4 win over the James M. Bennett Clippers last Friday in Berlin. Senior captain Annie Brown had three goals and an assist. Yesko chipped in with two goals and four assists. Trice, Fowler, Hayman and junior Sammi Quilter each scored twice. “They played really well as a team,” Musitano said. “They played hard and they controlled the whole game.” Decatur went 11-3 this season. The Seahawks and Lions were named co-Bayside Conference champions. (Title game was rained out). “It was a really good season. The senior leadership was outstanding,” Musitano said. Seven seniors will graduate at the end of the month, but Musitano said he is “pretty sure we won’t miss a beat” next year as a number of underclassmen gained varsity experience this season.

day’s match. “We’ve got to make sure they keep it in perspective. We don’t want them to peak right now or think they’re invincible.” The No. 10 River Hill Hawks visited Berlin Wednesday for regional semifinals action. Decatur led 4-1 after the first inning, but River Hill chipped away at the home team’s advantage and tied the score at 4-4 in the sixth. “I think the bus ride kills teams… Their pitcher is a really command guys and he didn’t have his command in the first inning so we were very fortunate to get those runs,” Ferro said after the 5-4 win. “We put the bat on the ball, but we took advantage of them being a little bit flat.” In the bottom of the sixth, Donahue got a base hit, then Borradaile knocked a singles to bring Church to the plate. His hit drove in what would be the winning run. Decatur will host the No. 4 Reservoir Gators today, Friday, at 4 p.m. for the regional title. “It’s going to take a little bit of us playing well and a little bit of some luck,” Ferro said.

Gates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least we gave them a good fight in the third quarter and we fought until the end.â&#x20AC;? Senior captain Harrison Brennan and freshman Wyatt Richins each scored two goals for Worcester. Wade Walter, a freshman, stopped 15 Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shots in goal for the Mallards. The Prep squad finished the season 7-10. It was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time competing in the MILL.

the Year. Mallards who received First Team AllESIAC honors are Brennan, Richins, Walter, junior Luke Payne and seniors Gordon Abercrombie and Chris Adkins. Second team accolades went to sophomores Jon Adkins and Sam Deeley, junior Jack Marshall and freshman Michael Brittingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough year. We sustained a lot of losses in terms of personnel (to graduation) and it was tough to replace all those good players. And, we had some injuries also this season,â&#x20AC;? Gates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the way the seniors and the whole team hung in there. They fought through adversity and they never gave up.â&#x20AC;? Four seniors will graduate at the end of the month. A number of underclassmen gained varsity experience this season, which bodes well for the future of the program.
(May 17, 2013) The Stephen Decatur softball team struggled to produce offensively in its 3-0 loss to the Reservoir Gators on Monday, during the quarterfinal round of the 3A East Regional tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the ball and when we did, it found their gloves,â&#x20AC;? said Decatur Coach Don Howard after the game in Berlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first two innings were a little bit rocky for us, but then we settled down and played five innings of solid ball.
We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome [the deficit] with any kind of offense at all.â&#x20AC;? The visiting Gators, seeded seventh in the 3A East, scored two runs in the first inning and one in the second. The second-seeded Lady Seahawks were walked four times and only logged three hits. Senior pitcher, captain Jessica Iacona, junior Taylor Black and sophomore Marina Jones each had a hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in the game the whole way. We had plenty of chances, but we left a number of people on base,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some runners on, but we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get
anything going. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to score runs to win and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Iacona pitched a complete game. She allowed seven hits, struck out two and walked two. The Seahawks finished the season 14-5. The girls started off strong, winning their first 10 games. Four of Decaturâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five losses were by one or two runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, we had a good season,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we went 11-9 with primarily the same group. This year we were 14-5, which was drastic improvement.â&#x20AC;? The team will graduate five starters at the end of the month.

Decatur takes down Easton in quarterfinals, falls to KI in semis LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team struggled to hold off the Kent Island Buccaneers’ offensive pressure Monday during the semifinal round of the 3A-2A East Regional tournament. Top-seeded Kent Island won the game 14-8 on its home field. “We, as a team, played hard. They gave everything they had; we just came up short,” said Decatur Coach Scott Lathroum. “We just couldn’t shut down their offense.” The second-seeded Seahawks led 3-0 early in the game, but within a twominute span, the score was tied 3-3. The Buccaneers then pulled ahead 4-3. “That kind of hurt us,” Lathroum said.
At halftime, Kent Island led 9-4. Lathroum praised the performance of Decatur goalie, senior captain Brooks Gilbert, who stopped 10 Kent Island shots. Andrew Ternahan, a senior captain, scored three goals for the Seahawks. Senior Henry Hastings netted two goals and had two assists. Riley McCabe, a senior and sophomores Corey Gwin and Craig Snyder each scored a goal. Decatur advanced to the semifinals after a 19-5 victory over the No. 3 Easton Warriors last Friday in Berlin. “We hit them hard early. It was a good game for us,” Lathroum said. “We played great on all areas of the field.” The Seahawks led 5-2 at the end of the first quarter and went into the halftime break with a 13-3 advantage. Ternahan was Decatur’s top producer
with six goals and four assists. Gwin chipped in with four goals and three assists. Gilbert made 12 saves. Decatur ended the season 12-4. The Seahawks and Buccaneers were named co-Bayside Conference champions (the title game was rained out). “We had a good season. We were [Bayside] South champions two years in a row,” Lathroum said. Eleven seniors will graduate in a few weeks, including eight major contributors, but Lathroum is confident the team will be solid next season. “We have a good, strong core group coming back and the JV team had a good season — they only lost two matches — and we’ll be bringing some of those guys up, which makes for a bright future,” Lathroum said.

Home sales activity still strong in ‘13
Hileman reports year off to great start
LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (May 17, 2013) We are approaching the mid-year mark, and sales activity has remained strong in 2013. In fact, there was a 23 percent increase in the number of homes sold in the month of April 2013 over April 2012 in Worcester County. Also moving in the right direction is the supply of available inventory for sale. This is measured in months of inventory, and is based on current active inventory and monthly sales for the corresponding month. The months of inventory throughout 2013 has been on a steady decline: January, 19.5 months; February, 18.2 months; March, 12.3 months; and April, 11.2 months. The strong sales volume, coupled with a reduction in inventory should begin to equate to an increase in average sales prices — but figures are indicating this change is slow to come. When looking at yearend 2012 figures, Worcester County ended the year with a $266,266 average sale price, which was a decline of 4.9 percent over the 2011 average sales price. This number fluctuates according to particular sales in any given month, but April 2013 figures show the average sales price in Worcester County as $251,378, which is a 1.5 percent decline from April 2012. Another important indicator of market strength is average days on market. The average days on market for more than 1,500 Worcester County properties that sold in 2012 was 263 days, or more than eight months on market average before a property settled. This number has dropped year to See MORE on Page 45A

Jay and Krista Ball opened Café Mirage, in the Montego Bay Shopping Center on 128th Street, on May 2.
CAFÉ MIRAGE NOW OPEN Couple take over restaurant; keep name, but change menu LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) Jay Ball spent several winters working in restaurants in the Caribbean and he has infused those flavors into some of the items on Café Mirage’s menu. In mid-March, Ball and his wife, Krista, took over the unit formerly home to Café Mirage in the Montego Bay Shopping Center on 128th. The restaurant, which has been closed for a few years, featured a Mediterranean and Greek-type cuisine. Ball said they decided to keep the name, Café Mirage, but create a new menu and atmosphere. The couple painted the restaurant, installed new lighting and updated the outdoor seating area, which overlooks Northside Park. The new Café Mirage opened May 2. Ball, who started cooking in restaurants at the age of 14, describes his menu as American fare with some unique twists. Now 39 years old, Ball is excited to have his own restaurant. “It’s always something I

His food has already enticed patrons to return. He has a number of regular customers. “I’m proud of my little menu,” Ball said. “I enjoy cooking. When you enjoy something, it doesn’t seem like work.” One of the top sellers is the grilled mahi-mahi wrap. The fish is accompanied by cabbage, pickled onions and Ball’s
secret Mirage sauce, which he compares to a spicy mayo. Ball makes several other sauces from scratch including the Thai peanut sauce. He also pickles his own onions, roasts pork at the restaurant and smokes salmon. “Everything is fresh and made to order,” he said. “It feels better to make it fresh. [The food] has better texture and flavor when you make it yourself.” A variety of appetizers and salads are available, including fried green tomatoes with grilled shrimp, spinach and artichoke dip and “Jason’s faSee VARIETY on Page 45A

Thousands of the nation’s finest classic, custom cars showcased during four-day event
LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (May 17, 2013) Ocean City residents and visitors can expect to see several thousand custom and classic automobiles, hot rods, muscle cars, street machines and trick trucks around town this weekend during the 23rd annual Cruisin’ Ocean City event. One of the top automotive events in the country, the four-day show, which began Thursday, will feature an estimated 3,200 cars from approximately 20 states and Canada, on display at the inlet parking lot and at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, as well as Boardwalk parades, entertainment, celebrity guests and representatives of manufacturers from across the United States.
“It’s just a great familyfriendly activity that highlights the car show culture with a little something for everyone,” said Cruisin’ coorganizer Meredith Herbert. Participants were asked to pre-register, and the event reached maximum capacity in mid-April, she said. Many car owners participate annually. Herbert said there are also a number of first-time participants this year, as well.
Friday’s Cruisin’ events will begin with a Boardwalk parade at 8 a.m., followed by car shows all weekend at the convention center and inlet parking lot. A “Patriotism Parade” along the Boardwalk, honoring the military, EMS personnel, police officers, firefighters and rescue workers, will kick off Saturday’s festivities at 8 a.m. Express Auctioneers will again host a Hot Rod and
Custom Car Auction at the convention center. This year, the auction will be a two-day event. The first auction took place Thursday. The second auction is set for today, Friday. A preview of the cars to be auctioned off will begin today at 9 a.m. The live auction is scheduled for noon. In addition, there will be a Special Charity Banner Auction on Saturday at 11 a.m., inside the convention center. The Charity Auction will feature different banners. Cruisin’ attendees will have the chance to meet “Mountain Man” from the television show “Duck Dynasty” on A&E. He will be at the inlet from 4-5 p.m. today and at the convention center from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, signing autographs and posing for pictures. See MOUNTAIN on Page 9B

mounds of memories of my days in the mother “hood” appear on the old cards I saved for years. Oh yeah, more than a few claim I was a nagger and a screamer. As my kids’ memories grow, mine diminish. Yeah, kids, mean mothers were a dime a dozen in the olden days. Sans parental skills, I used words and on rare (my word not theirs) occasions to the beat of the old wooden spoon, I taught them their numbers and the ABCs of life, such as ATTITUDE APPREHENSION and ARITHMETIC — “Don’t roll those eyes at me” “Wait till your dad gets home and finds out you broke his favorite putter, you’ll get yours” and “I’m gonna’ count to three.” BOLD AND COURAGEOUS tests on a daily basis — “Do that one more time and I’ll break your other arm.” DAREDEVIL lessons — “Don’t make me come down (or up) there for you or you’ll be very,very sorry.” DETERMINATION to avoid raising a kid just like you. EGGING and FOOLING AROUND are out. For their own GOOD, when the GUY threatened to HIT them with the ball that broke his window, I reminded them that HOSPITALS are no fun and IGNORANCE is not bliss. If and when you have to face a JUDGE, KEEP KOOL, KALM and KONNECTED, LEST the brain MATTER MELTS or NUMBS and OOZES OUT through the head OUTAGES. Remember, PATIENCE is a virtue seldom found in women, never found in men. Be QUIET and give the judge RESPECT. SAVE the SASS for the TROUBLEMAKERS. TRUST me, it works UNLESS you want to be a VICTIM of your own WANTON X-RATED ways. YOU best believe all this zany stuff is true. Keep in mind you don’t live in a ZOO. Best you use those forks and knives to eat and clean up that dungeon you call a room or I’m going to zoom in on you on my broom and toss you and your stuff off to the moon. Oh yeah, kids, I was one of those mean moms; that’s how I earned my witchery degree. Could this mom have had anything to do with how they all grew up to be funloving, personable, smart and independent adults? What more can I say on this Mother’s Day. I took it with a grain of salt when I consulted son, PJ, about the correct spelling of College Park’s Maryland U’s students’ favorite hangout, the “VOUE.” I told him, “I knew that. I just had a senior moment.” Rumors abound that one night it just floated away on Brew River. No doubt in my mind it has hooked up with the local leprechauns o’mite south of the Fenwick Ditch.

As Boardwalk awakes and sun warms, barbecue comes to mind FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Mixtureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base determined by typeof meat youchoose DEBORAH LEE WALKER â&#x2013; Contributing Writer (May 17, 2013) The sun is unwinding as it prepares for its daily nap. The warmth of the sand is comforting for my tired feet. Gentle waves kiss the shore and return to sea of motherland. A young Labrador puppy is frolicking in the waves and my thoughts of present day tip-toe to a time when youth was on my side. A moment in time is endless; memories from the heart never slip away. The tempting aromas from the Boardwalk know no boundaries. Mouth-watering barbecue plays havoc on my senses and in an instant, Uncle Bill crosses my path. He was and still is the master of the grill; no one dared to disrupt his domain at family gatherings. I must confess, my fascination for the sweet, spicy meat was twofold: my titanic appetite and my curiosity for this national craze highlighted my inquisitiveness.
Culinary historians are not really sure where the term barbecue originated. The conventional wisdom is that the Spanish, upon landing in the Caribbean, used the Spanish word, barbacoa, to refer to the method of slow cooking meat over a wooden platform. Homemade barbecue sauce is alchemy; testing and adjusting are the keys to success. Barbecue is personal and diversification is the basis for its multiplicity. Uncle Bill use to say choosing a barbecue sauce base is the first question at hand. Tomato, mustard and vinegar bases are quite different and knowing the flavor intended for the particular type of meat is crucial for its success. For
example, mustard- or vinegar-based sauces are a natural pairing with pork. Tomato or vinegar can be used with poultry. I can vividly hear my uncle telling me the correct type of pan for cooking the barbecue is also an important consideration. Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saucepan should be constructed of materials that radiate heat evenly throughout the whole pan. Also, you want the pan to have a weighted bottom so the sauce does not burn. The Coon family has been preparing homemade barbecue sauce for years and adding a couple of tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter at the end gives a gorgeous glaze to the finished product. I have learned through trial and error that if one is using a sauce with a high sugar content, do not sauce the meat in the beginning for several reasons. Thick

Volunteers sought for annual terrapin count in bay areas (May 17, 2013) Maryland Coastal Bays Program, partnering with the Terrapin Work Group, a group composed of terrapin researchers and managers, is looking for volunteers to help with the third annual terrapin head count survey held from May 29 to June 1. The count is being extended this year to allow more people to get involved. The Diamondback Terrapin may be Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state reptile and the mascot for the University of Maryland, but its current population status in the coastal bays, as well as in the state of Maryland, is poorly understood. The annual terrapin head count survey is held in the Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays to better understand its status in the state. Counting terrapin heads in the water as See CITIZENS on Page 4B

sauces inhibit the smoke to permeate the meat, which diminishes the aroma. If you put the sauce on too early, it can become thick, which prevents the natural caramelization. In addition, sauces with high sugar content have a tendency to burn easily. Chicken, ribs and beef are popular choices for grilling, but turkey legs are a healthy alternative. The size alone will impress family and guests. Vinegar as opposed to a tomato or mustard base sauce is a great pairing with turkey. The following recipe is easy and no fuss. The brine adds zest and tenderizes the meat all in one step. Turkey legs on the grill are a wonderful addition to any menu. Have fun! Thanks, Uncle Bill, for all your guidance in and out of the kitchen.

Citizens asked to report local terrapin habitats they congregate for breeding (or other purposes) is considered to be an effective way of monitoring population numbers. The turtles don’t need to be captured, just observed and counted. The thought is to continue these observations over a period of time and departures from average numbers could point to areas of concern. The coastal bays count will consist of surveys in all five bays including tidal creeks and marsh guts. Surveys can be conducted by crews in either motorized boats or canoes and kayaks. The MCBP is looking for boat owners who can provide the transport, experienced watermen who are able to identify
Crossword answers from page 12B
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 a person who can accurately fill out survey forms in the field, including GPS coordinates. MCBP will provide a brief training and paperwork to participants. Locations of surveys will depend on
the number of crews available. For more information, or to volunteer, contact Sandi Smith at 410-641-2297, Ext. 107, or sandis@mdcoastalbays.org. Indicate if you have a boat (include size and where the boat is located), or if you would like to be an observer, or scribe. MCBP is also asking citizens to report local terrapin habitats online at www.mdcoastalbays.org.
Turkeyongrill great for anymenu hours. Make sure the marinade covers the entire surface of the meat. Place bags in a bowl in case the bags should leak. 2. When turkey legs have finished marinating, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. 3. Coat turkey with fresh ground pepper and crushed rosemary. 4. When the charcoals are very hot, place turkey legs on an uncovered grill and get a nice sear on each side. Close the lid and grill until done. Cooking time will vary according to the size of the individual legs (approximately 38 minutes). Allow to rest for 15 minutes and serve immediately.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before you consider which to choose. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin paying off by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there waiting for you to find them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise. Instead, let things work themselves out at their own pace. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity to avoid raising resentment in the workplace. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect to hear good news about a loved one. Also, be prepared for some changes in several family relationships that could develop from this lucky turn of events. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprises are expected to accompany a number of changes that will continue through part of next week. At least one could involve a romantic situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to have faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace goal that suddenly seems out of reach is no problem for the sure-footed Goat, who moves steadily forward despite any obstacles placed in his or her way. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Uncertainty about who is right and who isn’t might keep you from making a clear-cut decision. Wait until you know more about what you’re being asked to decide. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful to keep your emotions in check when dealing with a demanding personal situation. You need to set an example of strength for others to follow. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an extraordinary ability to rally people to do their best. You would be a treasure as a teacher.

WHITE MARLIN FESTIVAL More than 500 people attended the Ocean City Downtown Association’s ninth annual White Marlin Festival last Saturday on the Somerset Street Plaza, which featured face painting, music by DJ Bigler and the band Sweet Harmony and several organizations exhibiting displays. The highlight of the May 11, event was the annual Crab Soup Cookoff. Tasters voted for their favorite in two categories: white and red crab soups. The winners in the white category: first, Mother’s Cantina; second, The Shrimp Boat and third, Eagle’s Landing. The top three red crab soups were provided by Fager’s Island, Lazy River Saloon and The Pour House, respectively. OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI
