Suit filed in ’17 pedestrian death Family requests jury trial in case involving trooper who hit man at 76th St.

By Stewart Dobson Editor (May 17, 2019) The family of a man struck and killed by a state police car as he attempted to cross Coastal Highway in October 2017 filed a

wrongful death lawsuit in federal court Tuesday against the Maryland State Police, the State of Maryland and the Town of Ocean City.

Rennae Lawlor of Lewes, Delaware and her sons, Matthew and Sean of New Jersey, seek “in excess of $75,000” from the defendants and have asked for a jury trial in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.

The family alleges that Ocean City

resident Thomas Lawlor was the victim of negligent driving by Trooper James Price, also a defendant, when he drove into Lawler at 76th Street on Oct. 6, 2017, during the Endless Summer Cruisin’ classic car and hotrod event.

The lawsuit and a statement released by police shortly after the accident agree that Lawlor was walking See WRONGFUL Page 69

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) The message to Cruisin’ Ocean City participants during a Police Commission meeting on Monday was clear: you’re welcome to come, but you can’t break the law.

Poor weather last year contributed to a relatively calm and uneventful Cruisin’. But there has been increased scrutiny on motor events in the resort since 2017, when the unsanctioned H2O International event in particular brought an especially rowdy crowd that angered city officials and many residents.

‘Butt huts’ aim to help snuff out cigarette trash New receptacles at street ends will give smokers place to indulge while serving as source for recycling plan

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) Public and private efforts to reduce trash along the beach and Boardwalk are targeting smokers, with containers being set up

citywide to recycle cigarette butts.

City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer, during a Green Team committee meeting last Wednesday, said cigarette waste in those areas “is our number-one trash that we pick up.”

City Councilman Tony DeLuca added that the Boardwalk smoking ban, enacted several years ago, began with educational efforts.

“The first year was education – we didn’t do anything,” he said. “The second year … if you saw repeat stuff, we started fining. Last year was the third year and we went after it.”

DeLuca said smoking fines a year ago were See BUSINESSES Page 5

Macky and Pam Stansell hospice house now open

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) With forest green oversized scissors, Pam Stansell cut the ceremonial ribbon to the applause of public officials and hospice providers to officially open the Macky and Pam Stansell Coastal Hospice House on Wednesday.

Stansell House is the region’s first residential hospice facility, providing care to patients with life-limiting illnesses who are no longer safe at home or who need more care than a family can safely provide.

Gehrig eyes bigger events, pumpkins in space

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 17, 2019) Ocean City Tourism Commission members on Monday considered adding more and bigger events to the resort’s summer season, and debated whether to allow pets on the beach and Boardwalk beyond the current limitations.

City Councilman John Gehrig, repeating his theme from a recent mayor and City Council meeting, suggested reworking the current plans for fireworks displays.

Gehrig said the fireworks have had a dramatic impact on attendance at Northside Park events, but are less meaningful to the tens of thousands of Boardwalk patrons who already are a captive audience.

Mayor Rick Meehan balked at one suggestion that people might consider staying an extra day for fireworks, but said the displays were there to enhance visitors’ experience. Meehan said he started the program years ago, when he was the acting city manager.

“Maybe value-added isn’t needed,” Gehrig said. “We don’t want to be the free stuff … provider anymore.”

Gehrig suggested, rather than two fireworks shows over the beach and Boardwalk, just having one event, but making it a grander spectacle.

“This is about the experience in

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Ocean City Councilman John Gehrig during a Tourism Commission meeting on Monday, said resort events should be made bigger and grander, and world class. At one point Gehrig joked if the World Championship Punkin Chunkin event comes to Ocean City, the gourd projectiles should “fly so far out into the ocean you can’t even see them,” adding, “I want them shot into space!”

Ocean City. And in my opinion, the experience should be grand and great – and no more junk,” he said.

Gehrig, several times throughout the meeting, suggested Ocean City focus its events on being “world class.”

More than once, he invoked the proposed World Championship Punkin Chunkin contest.

Commission members also suggested different days of the week to target, hoping to extend the stay of tourists. Gehrig specifically mentioned Sundays and Thursday as keys to “try

to get that length of stay” longer.

“I think we try to make Sunday grand and we try to make Thursday grand,” he said.

Special Events Director Frank Miller said commission members ought to think collectively about “when you want to do it [and] who’s going to pay for it.”

“And then let us come up with the events that fit the parameters,” he said.

“There’s a lot of different events we could do to enhance the experience in Ocean City – the question becomes

when do you want it, where do you want it, why do you want it, and who’s going to pay for it?

“If you don’t want to do anymore value-added events and you want the patrons to start paying for those events, then we can design events that way,” Miller continued, adding, “There are a lot of things to consider.”

Gehrig said the discussion was difficult to have with press in the room.

“Brainstorming involves a lot of dumb ideas … that get polished up,” he said.

Meehan was of two minds, again saying fireworks were a value-added event that enhances visitors’ experience, but also offering, “I think we need to look at some other big things to do.”

He added he’s seen people lingering later in shops, or else sitting on benches and concrete seating along the Boardwalk, waiting for the fireworks.

“There are a lot of people that are waiting for the fireworks, but I don’t think that’s what John’s talking about,” Meehan said. “That’s a small thing and, yeah, we [can] gauge whether it’s still important. I think you’re looking for some new things that really would be bigger, that could make a couple nights a year really stand out.”

Businesses asked to help curb smokers’ trash Continued from Page 1 $100.

“We got a lot of emails … ‘I walked on the Boardwalk [and] I was so excited to be on vacation with my family.

I lit up a cigarette and, boom, it’s $100!’” he said. “So, we moved it down to $50 last year … and we didn’t get any complaints.”

DeLuca estimated about 1,000 citations were given.

“It was a big number, so we’re going to go after it hard again,” he said.

To make room for smokers, but also to help cut down on the trash they produce, Public Works Director Hal Adkins said the plan was to put recycling containers adjoining the 25 planned Boardwalk safety barriers.

He said City Engineer Terry McGean had 25 locations for those in mind, with about 15 already in place and 10 more under construction.

Adkins said the “butt huts” and signage for the recycling containers had already been made for each site and could be installed in a day or two.

“They will be located … adjoining the bollard, but on the ocean side of the bollard, so the standing individual is not in harm’s way of an automobile,” Adkins said. “My guess is, as early as next week, we’re going to roll in and [install] 75 percent of them and then sit and wait back for Terry to finish.”

He added among the last challenges, from the city’s perspective, was figuring out how close to the containers smokers must remain and then communicating that on signs. City ordinances permit smoking only in designated areas, within 15 feet of waste receptacles. However, Adkins hinted that might be too much leeway for Boardwalk patrons and workers.

“Using the same sign that is currently out on the beach it states … that you shall smoke within 15 feet of that sign,” he said. “Obviously, that won’t

Safety committee, chamber effort to provide bike lights

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 17, 2019) Ocean City Councilman Tony DeLuca, on behalf of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, is leading an effort to provide safety lights to J-1 students who bike to work.

DeLuca, an avid bicycle rider, said he came up with the idea a few years ago while working with the city’s Green Team.

“The reason why I came up with it was, while riding at night in summer, there’s so many bikes out there and [the

riders] have on jeans and black shirts, and they use this Walmart reflector that you can hardly see,” he said. “It’s like they’re invisible.

“I thought, if we could get lights on these bikes at night it would really be safe,” he continued. “When I’m riding at night and I see people with lights on the bikes, it just makes me smile. I just think the safety aspect is huge, and we have so many J-1 students in the summer riding bikes.”

According to DeLuca, 4,300 students on J-1 visas will be living and working in See EFFORT Page 10

Commission brainstorms events Continued from Page 4 “I think everything we do, we should think grander,” Gehrig said.

“Everything should be world-championship quality, even if we do … fewer things.

“The Ocean City experience, no matter what it is, should be the best,” he continued. “I don’t want the regional championships of Punkin Chunkin – I want the world championships of Punkin Chunkin. I want them to fly so far out into the ocean you can’t even see them. I want them shot into space!”

Commission members also briefly considered extending the time when residents and visitors are allowed to bring their pets onto the beach and Boardwalk. Currently, pets are not allowed in those areas from May 1 through Sept. 30.

Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, said her board debated the issue, but never came to a consensus.

“We didn’t come up with any conclusions – just the fact that we thought we should continue talking about it and seeing if there was any consensus around the community,” she said.

“There was discussion about maybe having it Memorial Day to Labor Day

as the exclusion.”

According to Jones, one HMRA member said his hotel allows pets and is full in April, but empty the first week of May when pets are disallowed.

Councilwoman Mary Knight said there were environmental concerns – namely people not adequately cleaning up after their pets – while others said the Boardwalk was already overcrowded in May with “the bikes, the rollerblades, the strollers, the wheelchairs, [and] the surreys.”

One commission member asked about the possibility of another dog park, to which Gehrig replied that was a possibility, while miming a large dollar sign.

“Everything does has a cost,” Meehan said.

When some suggested allowing dogs only during certain hours, Meehan offered, “There’s a lot of people during the summertime that stay out on the beach until 7:30-8 o’clock [at night].”

Likewise, he argued, many got up early to watch the sunrise.

“There are lots of people that do a lot of other things at the beach that this could interfere with,” Meehan said.

“I guess we’ll continue that conversation [later],” Councilman Matt James said, ending the debate.

Facility will offer palliative care for patients Continued from Page 3 Alane Capen said. “More than 2,000 people across the lower shore and the state of Maryland came together to turn this dream into reality, and we honor them.

The three-story, 26,000-square-foot Stansell House sits on 11 acres at 1500 Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines. The building provides a main floor residential hospice, with palliative care facilities on the top floor and staff facilities on the ground floor. It also provides 12 patient rooms, a family room, kitchen, spa and a scenic backyard view of the Isle of Wight Bay. More than 30 full-time employees will provide care and support at the facility.

“This facility is strictly residential,” Capen said. “Patients who live here would otherwise be cared for at home if they had an able caregiver. People who come here are folks who are going to need help with bathing, getting their meals and getting medications on time.

“I can’t think of a more gorgeous place to be in the last weeks or a couple of months of life,” she continued.

In addition to the grand opening, the event celebrated Macky and Pam Stansell for their generosity and contributions toward the project. Over the years, the Stansells, who own Macky’s Bayside Bar and Grill on 54th Street bayside, have donated hundreds of thou-

sands of dollars to hospice and the facility and have raised thousands more through charity events.

In 2017, the Stansells wrote a check for $72,250, to push the project across the original $5 million threshold established at the beginning of its donations campaign.

Together, they’re responsible for more than $900,000 in gifts to the campaign.

In honor of the couple’s longstanding support, the hospice board of directors voted to name the building The Macky and Pam Stansell House at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.

For Macky, the facility is more than just a building, it is the embodiment of the dignity and comfort every person should have at the end of life.

“When my wife’s mother was ill with cancer many years ago, I had never heard of hospice,” Macky said. “My wife and her sister wanted their mom to move in with us and at first I said, ‘Absolutely not!’ I did not want to have our lives – or hers – interrupted this way.

“But it turned out to be the most amazing gift,” he continued. “I will forever be grateful for hospice and how it made her last days so much more than I imagined.”

The architect for the project was Becker Morgan Group, the general contractor was Whiting Turner and the landscape design was done by Sposato Landscape Company Inc. Led by co-chairs Dirk Widdowson

and Macky Stansell, Coastal Hospice has raised more than $6.5 million to date, including two $500,000 bond bills from the State of Maryland spearheaded by then Sen. Jim Mathias.

Being the only residential coastal hospice service within the lower shore and will provide care for four counties, the Coastal Hospice board is proud to open the facility to anyone in need.

“The fact of the matter is the hospice residents’ concept does not exist anywhere around here,” former board chairman Mike Dunn said. “Coastal hospice is bringing it to the community of Delmarva. And this is really, really exciting.

We look forward to everyone enjoying

the next iteration of what Coastal Hospice is, which is about life.”

Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a private, nonprofit organization providing health care, hospice services, palliative care, bereavement support, education and training for patients and their families in Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset and Dorchester counties.

Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

Bus driver staff shortage concerns

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) Bus deployment numbers appear to be down this year, but overall ridership is close to flat, based on discussions during a Transportation Committee meeting Tuesday.

There are some concerns, however, about staffing levels for bus drivers in the resort.

Transit Manager Mark Rickards said bus ridership was up 12 percent in March over the previous year, while April numbers were down about 2 percent, or roughly 1,000 riders. He blamed five days of rain this April, as opposed to four rainy days a year ago.

According to numbers from the first 12 days of May, ridership is down 15 percent because of heavy rains on the 4th, 5th and 12th.

Overall numbers for Springfest were down, mainly because of poor weather on Sunday, Rickards said. He said numbers were up on Springfest Thursday, about breakeven that Friday, and Saturday was “interesting” because it rained on the north side of the town, but not on the Boardwalk.

“We were able to keep our trams going pretty good, and then on Sunday it was a complete washout almost,” he said. “That resulted in Springfest being down a little bit from 2018, but from 2017 we’re still up.

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan during a Transportation Committee meeting Tuesday said he was apprehensive about the lower number of bus drivers hired this year.

“The big variable is weather,” he continued. “Overall, I think [with] the ridership for the year we’re right about even, so it’s … not bad news. We’re looking for a good summer.”

Bus ridership is one thing, but bus deployment is another, Councilman Tony DeLuca said. According to DeLuca, deployments were “dramatically down” versus last year.

“The numbers look big,” he said, adding last Saturday was beautiful, but deployments were still down 26 percent.

Meehan, using Springfest Saturday as an example, said last year there were 75 buses deployed and this year there were just 60.

Rickards said the deployments were scheduled ahead of time, based on ana-

lytics of previous years.

He said the buses operated on a “summer-like schedule” during Springfest, but then backed off on Mother’s Day weekend, which is typically much slower.

“We’re looking at, day by day, what we did in the past couple years,” he said.

“I’ve got enough information … to look at exactly what we need to do as far as extra deployments and we’ll put them out there when we need to.”

Public Works Director Hal Adkins admitted the variance of deployment numbers was “somewhat shocking,” but said the department was meeting its needs. “[When] you factor in, where’s the email, text messages or phone calls of complaints, they don’t exist,” he said. “I See THE NUMBERS Page 11

Senior bus pass changes panned

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) A proposal to increase the cost of senior bus passes was so poorly received during a Transportation Committee meeting Tuesday that the matter will be tabled for the year.

Public Works Director Hal Adkins said current numbers show 2,800 resident senior passes have been issued. According to Adkins the $7 passes are valid for two years, allow for free passage on the entire bus system, ADA door-to-door service for eligible riders, and free tram ridership from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., tram fares are discounted $1.

“Of course, this excludes holidays and special events,” he said.

Adkins proposed to increase the minimum age of eligibility from 60 to 65, in accordance with federal standards, lengthening the duration passes are issued from two to three years, and hiking the fee to $25.

“When you look at it holistically and you look at the benefit that you’re getting, it’s one heck of a bargain at the staff recommended change of three years and $25,” he said.

Mayor Rick Meehan, however, said he would not support any major changes to the program.

“This is something that we do offer

to our residents,” he said. “I think that they’re looking for a more livable community … [and for reasons] they would benefit from living in Ocean City and from investing in Ocean City and paying taxes in Ocean City.

“I’m not in favor of the increase to $25,” Meehan continued, adding he could support an increase to three years for $10.

“I just think this is one of those benefits our seniors enjoy,” he said.

Councilman Tony DeLuca said he was fine with changing the duration and the fee, but not for raising the age limit.

“I say hell no,” he said. “I say we want [the seniors] on our side and I think you’re going in the wrong direction. I think you should lower [the age] to 55.”

Councilman Mark Paddack said the government, in theory, “is not supposed to operate to make a profit,” and asked why the fee increase was proposed.

“This is not a revenue-based discussion on our part at all,” Adkins said. “The outcome of this, revenuewise, might not even be worth discussing.

“It was more so, we felt necessary to bring it to our policy group – that’s you guys – because it hasn’t been looked at nor changed in 15 years,” he

continued. “I could easily have sat back and said nothing, and then at some point you all might have brought it up in the coming years and said, ‘You haven’t looked at this since 2004! What’s wrong with you?’ So, we’re bringing it forward.”

Meehan suggested the matter be deferred until after the season, “rather than we get into a conversation … and make people think this is going to happen.”

“It’s not going to happen for the season of 2019,” he said. “I hate to spend a lot of time on this … I don’t think we’re going to do it.”

Councilman Dennis Dare moved to table the issue, to which Meehan quipped “until 2025?”

“I’d like to bring it back in preparation for the budget, next year,” Dare said, adding, “This is really not a money thing.

“It’s more of a personnel issue,” he continued. “To drive a bus from one end of Ocean City to the other end costs the same amount of money for one person onboard or 100 people onboard. So, allowing our senior residents an opportunity to fill an empty seat doesn’t really cost us any money.”

A motion to table the matter, seconded by DeLuca, was unanimously approved.

Ocean City Police Pfc. Nathan Kutz on Monday helps Sara Hetherington attach a safety light to her bicycle. City Councilman Tony DeLuca and members of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee are leading an effort to outfit J-1 students who bike to work with similar lights.

Effort would provide J-1 bike riders with safety night lights Continued from Page 6 the resort this season into fall.

“Seventy-five percent of them ride bikes, so that’s 3,000 bikes that are out there,” he said.

During a similar effort last year, bike lights were offered for free at every fire and police station in town, and every other Wednesday DeLuca and others would hand out free lights at City Hall.

In total, about 2,000 lights were distributed last year.

“We didn’t care who it was, we just kept handing them out,” he said. “And we just kept supplying the police department because, to me, the biggest idea is at night the police are out there and see people without them … and it’s lowhanging fruit.

“They’re stopping the people and, instead of giving them a ticket or a fine, they’re putting a light on the bike,” he added.

This year, DeLuca decided to target local businesses – mainly restaurants and hotels – that employ J-1 students.

“They need to step up – and I’ll help them,” he said. “We’ll give them two or three places that can buy them. They’re $6.50 roughly for a set. They need to step up and buy lights and put them on the employees’ bikes that [ride] at night.

If they do that, we’ll really have hit a homerun.”

DeLuca recalled that a J-1 student from Slovokia was riding a bicycle in town when she struck and killed by a motorist three years ago.

“She got off work. She had all black on [and] was driving southbound on Philadelphia Avenue, around 2nd Street,” he said. “That’s terrible, but that’s not the reason we did this – that’s a reason, but it’s not the reason. It’s just dangerous out there. And when you add families out there at night, it’s [even more] dangerous.”

Donations to the program can be dropped off during normal business hours at City Hall on 301 Baltimore Avenue. Checks can be made out to The Town of Ocean City, with “BIKELT” in the memo field.

Also aiding the effort to keep J-1 cyclists safe are members of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, and the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.

Chamber Executive Director Melanie Pursel, during a Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee meeting last Wednesday, said the issue recently came up with the Seasonal Workforce Committee.

That group is made up of employers, J1 sponsors, outreach organizations, and representatives from the chamber and HMRA, she said.

“They’re the ones who are responsible for the health, safety and well-being of the students … so they have a vested interest of making sure these students have a great experience, and so they love this program,” she said.

“Several committed to supplying funds for the program, while one organization committed to providing lights with their branding on it,” Pursel continued. “I don’t know exactly how many [they’re sending], but we told them we need 4,000. How cool would that be?

“Basically, at this point, we’re securing funds,” she added.

Pursel said the chamber would also use an overage from fees collected during a recent conference, about $1,000, toward the program.

“Last year, [the State Highway Administration] provided lights to the chamber and we installed them on bikes throughout the summer at various events, such as church dinners, safety nights, a weekly time at City Hall etc.

However, this year they are not, so we wanted to find a way to secure lights.

Our committee was raising funds to purchase a bulk order,” Pursel said after the meeting.

“It’s been somewhat of a multipronged effort, all with the same goal of getting lights on every worker’s bike that rides at night,” she added.

County to amend Mystic Harbour nitrogen discharge

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Aiming to reduce use of chemical fertilizers at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course, Worcester County officials are teeing up a request with the Maryland Department of the Environment to amend the Mystic Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant discharge permit to increase nitrogen levels and eliminate nutrient concentration limits for monitored injection wells.

Public Works Director John Tustin said the county recently received state approval after sending a formal request in April to reopen the discharge permit, which will require subsequent legal notice prior to a public hearing.

“We received the draft permit that revises the level of nitrogen,” he said.

“There will be no negative impacts on the environment as a result of these changes.”

Among the changes outlined in an April 4 letter from Deputy Director of Public Works John Ross to MDE officials requesting the discharge permit be reopened were a pair of counterbalancing changes to allowable nitrogen levels, including increasing the monthly discharge concentration from 3 milligrams per liter (mg/l) to 5 mg/l, while also reducing the maximum monthly flow from 250,000 gallons per day (gpd)

to 150,000 gpd.

In the letter, Ross said state guidelines for golf course nutrient management recommend an annual maximum of 0.7 pounds of total nitrogen per thousand square feet of application. Under that standard, the roughly 98 acres encompassing Eagle’s Landing Golf Course would be able to accept just under 3,000 pounds of nitrogen yearly.

Ross noted the current Mystic Harbour discharge permit allows a monthly flow rate of 81,000 gpd at a concentration of 3 mg/l, which yields roughly 740 pounds of total nitrogen at Eagle’s Landing.

At roughly a quarter of potential capacity, the concentration levels are significantly less than recommended, Tustin said.

“If we were to keep that permit level in place and spray irrigate on Eagle’s Landing … the golf course operator would have to come back and apply liquid nitrogen to meet their growing needs,” he said.

Tallying up the outcome of boosting allowable nitrogen concentrations to 5 mg/l, which is on par with the Glen Riddle Golf Club in Berlin, would result in more than 1,200 pounds of nitrogen at Eagle’s Landing, Tustin said.

“Which is still less half the maximum recommended loading,” he See MYSTIC Page 12

‘The numbers need to be higher’ Continued from Page 8 understand what they’re trying to do in the way of balancing the deployments versus the operational budget versus ridership.

“I don’t have a solution or a recommendation that says we should take the deployments and bump them back up, because we’re not facing problems right now,” Adkins added.

DeLuca countered the city met its deployment numbers from a year ago over St. Patrick’s Day weekend, but also set records in terms of ridership.

“Maybe we need more parades,” he said with a laugh. “New Orleans has 58 parades – we have two!”

Rickards said the recent tram fare increase does not seem to be having a negative impact on revenue – in fact, just the opposite. On Springfest Thursday, for example, he said revenues were up 24 percent and on Friday they were 27 percent higher than a year ago.

Full fares were increased from $3 to $4, discount books went up from $20 to $26, and unlimited passes rose from $6 to $8.

“I didn’t hear anything [and] our booth attendants didn’t hear anything about the fare increase,” he said. “Nobody asked about it, nobody complained. That was remarkable.”

What was of concern, according to

several committee members, was lower staffing numbers heading into the busy season.

Rickards said 129 bus drivers, 21 tram drivers and 23 conductors were hired this year, with the department overall at 210 employees. He admitted that was slightly down from a year ago, but said the seasonal drivers “seem to be more committed to working a few more hours.”

DeLuca said the goal two years ago was to have 150 drivers. He added that year was the best for the department, financially.

“To me, it just doesn’t give you room for turnover in July and August, or callouts,” he said. “As you lose people and you have callouts, the 129 number becomes a little scary.”

Meehan agreed.

“The number needs to be higher,” he said. “I’ll remember what you said about better personnel that’ll put in more hours when we come back in July, because deployment’s down because you don’t have bus drivers.

“You can make it [out] anyway you want, but the bottom line is Councilman DeLuca is correct – we need to have a higher number. And we were most successful when we had that higher number,” Meehan added.

Successful marlin anglers to get certificate

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) Anglers who catch their first-ever white marlin in the White Marlin Capital of the World will soon get certificates in the mail commemorating the achievement.

Scott Lenox, who operates the Fish in OC information services business, handed out demonstration certificates to Tourism Commission members on Monday during an overview of his activities, along with a budget request that netted him $15,000.

According to Lenox, the organization started five years ago with help from the commission and the town’s tourism department.

He said Fish in OC, which provides fishing photos and reports from the resort area, has used its website and social media to share information to thousands of local fishermen each year.

He said the Facebook page has grown from 12,000 likes in 2016 to more than 24,000 this year, while the website last year had more than 320,000 visits.

Five years ago, Lenox said he asked for $15,000. Instead, the commission granted him $10,000 and use of some city assets as an “in kind” match to reach $15,000.

Today, he said the organization is self-sufficient.

“I didn’t want to come to you and just say, ‘Hey, I just want a raise.’ I

wanted to show some added value,” Lenox said, referring to the certificates.

“I saw these in the chamber when I was there for a meeting, and the town doesn’t do it anymore,” he continued.

“There’s no certificate or anything sent out to people who catch their first white marlin … and I thought in the White Marlin Capital of the World, it would be a pretty cool thing for the City Council and mayor’s office to send something out to people.”

Rather than have the city keep track of such things, Lenox offered to take care of the task himself.

He worked with Councilman John Gehrig’s D3Corp to build a web-based submission platform for local captains or the anglers to enter information on where and how each marlin is caught, along with what its vital statistics are, “so people would get something like this in the mail,” Lenox said.

Lenox added he wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but one local captain told him 98 people caught their first white marlins on his boat last year.

Councilwoman Mary Knight moved to approve the proposal, which was voted through unanimously, but with Gehrig abstaining.

“You’ve more than proven yourself,” Knight said, adding Lenox was “kind of a timid little guy” when he first came before the commission. “You were so quiet!” she said.

Tourism Director Donna Abbott agreed it was a great idea.

“Scott’s wonderful to work with,” she said, adding the city tried doing such a thing previously, but found many in the fishing industry were not terribly responsive.

“Scott’s got his involvement with the fishing industry,” she said. “It just makes sense to me and that’s a segment of our community that we need to keep promoting.”

Also during the meeting, commission members unanimously approved a new advertising rate schedule for the White Marlin Open’s live stream video program.

Lenox said he helped start a website, WhiteMarlinCam.com, several years ago when the annual event’s website crashed during the middle of the tournament.

By 2016, he said, the site was bringing in 220,000 views by live streaming the event. After an off year in 2017, when White Marlin Open organizers also broadcast the weigh-ins on Facebook Live, the site rebounded and

brought in 309,000 views last year.

Today, the live feed includes a leadin program to the weigh-ins, with sponsor segments and the sponsor’s logos remaining on the screen during each day of the White Marlin Open.

Lenox said last year each day allowed for one sponsor for a $3,000 fee.

This year, he suggested allowing two sponsors per day at $3,000 each, or exclusive rights for one day for $5,000.

He said many local bars restaurants in town stream the feed, while it’s also become popular regionally, drawing views from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia.

“If you haven’t seen it, you should make it a point to watch it. People share it like crazy on social media too,” Gehrig said.

Knight agreed, adding several times last year she watched the feed when the weather became too oppressive to wait by the scales for several hours.

“I just sit there with my vodka gimlet and enjoy,” she said, moving to approve the new rate schedule.

The vote in favor was unanimous.

Mystic Harbour changes sought Continued from Page 11 said.

The Mystic Harbour treatment plant employs injection wells to dispel up to 250,000 gpd of effluent, which could be scaled up to at least twice that capacity if future demand warrants.

The injection wells deliver water underground for later applications, such as irrigating golf course greens.

The other change sought for the Mystic Harbour discharge permit would eliminate allowable yearly average concentrations of nitrogen, nitrite, phosphorous chloride and total dissolved solids for monitored injection wells.

“They’re just ground water monitoring wells, they’re not drinking water wells,” he said.

Tustin said nitrogen and other nutrient levels are closely monitored in the Mystic Harbour effluent, with the

currently mandated limitations at injection wells problematic due to environmental challenges.

“We have exceeded the permit limit in chloride (or salt),” he said.

The violations, which stem from injection wells where effluent disposal has yet to occur, are primarily due to proximity to and influence from Sinepuxent Bay, where background levels of chloride and total dissolved solids are environmentally boosted, Tustin said.

Tustin said the Mystic Harbour effluent was tested for chloride this March and registered a chloride level of 63 mg/l, which is within allowable concentrations for areas served by a public-water system.

“Being the ground water monitor wells are imbedded into the ground water near the bay, it’s bound to be salty,” he said.

Opening set for WreckTangle obstacle course

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) The new Woodward “WreckTangle” obstacle course at Third Street near the Ocean Bowl skate park is nearing completion, and a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony are tentatively set for Friday, May 24 at 1 p.m.

During a Recreation and Parks Committee meeting on Tuesday, Tourism Director Donna Abbott said opening of the ninja-style course would include participation by the Stephen Decatur High School junior ROTC group, along with “something fun with the mayor and council.”

A partnership between the city and the Woodward playground company was announced in February. The outdoor course was designed for use both by adults and children, and challenges competitors to use skill, strength and creativity to overcome a series of obstacles.

Abbott said operating hours would be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., likely through October or November.

Pricing for an hour-long session will be $14.99, or $19.99 an hour with a wristband to track the time it takes to complete the course, Abbott said.

She added locals would be given a free wristband during their initial visit, along with 10 percent off on subsequent visits.

Day passes will cost $39.99, weekly passes will be $89.99 and the course will offer season passes for $249.99. Group rates will also be available.

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

The new Woodward WreckTangle obstacle course, adjacent to the Ocean Bowl skate park on Third Street, is nearly finished. Tourism Director Donna Abbott this week said a grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting was tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 24.

Special session pricing is to be determined, but will include 45-minute classes, “pro-ninja clinics,” a weekly race series, and a regional championship event.

One final component of the course was unfinished as of Tuesday afternoon, and Abbott said there was discussion of installing bleachers near the course to allow friends and family to watch competitors run through the obstacles.

She said the Maryland State Fireman’s Association may arrange an event around their annual convention in Ocean City, and at least one local school has already inquired about visiting the course. Councilman John Gehrig joked

about signing up his D3Corp company for a day at the WreckTangle.

“I think there’s a lot of different opportunities there for both conventions and teams and camps and clinics, so it’s pretty exciting,” Abbott said.

Councilman Mark Paddack had another suggestion: have the city sponsor a regional WreckTangle tournament near the end of the year, possibly in conjunction with the proposed World Championship Punkin Chunkin event.

“If it’s going to be here that long and we do do the approval, a Punkin Chunkin WreckTangle tournament, sponsored by the rec department, [is] a

possibility,” Paddack said.

Special Events Director Frank Miller said resort officials would reach out to Woodward to see if that’s a possibility.

“The thought process was ... start hyping it up now, get people actively going, practicing on the Woodward WreckTangle, and then actually host that at the end of October or November, pending the outcome of how the Punkin Chunkin goes.”

Paddack said Punkin Chunkin, as proposed, would run the first weekend of November, while Miller noted the annual O.C.toberfest event is scheduled during the two weeks earlier.

Commissioners review dept. budget requests

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) After opening a fiscal 2020 budget work session on Tuesday with less than half-million-dollar surplus from a roughly $202 million balance sheet, the Worcester County Commissioners nearly doubled that difference by cutting an additional $900,000 from departmental budget requests.

Responding to a request from the Sheriff’s Office for more than $400,000 to purchase 11 new vehicles, including a handful of 4x2 trucks and a half dozen 4x4 models, Commissioner Jim Bunting said previous policy had limited the total to five or less annually.

“I’m not going to vote for 11 vehicles for the sheriff’s department,” he said.

“I think some of this money should go towards the fire company.”

Chief Administrative Officer Harold Higgins said the capital equipment request could be financed with Local Impact Funds, which is drawn from casino revenues.

Higgins said the current pool of funds from casino revenues is roughly $526,000, the bulk of which could be dedicated for the sheriff’s trucks, with smaller allotments earmarked for Emergency Services, Worcester County Jail and the Fire Marshal’s Office.

Commissioner Joe Mitrecic sug-

gested the casino funds could be redirected.

“If we deny the vehicles, that’s $50,000 we could spend elsewhere,” he said.

Higgins said first responder vehicles are one of a limited means in which the impact grant funding could be directed.

“If you deny the vehicles, I think you deny the transfer in from the casino funds,” he said.

Bunting made an unanimously approved motion to trim the sheriff’s vehicle request total to five, including three 4x2 and two 4x4 trucks.

Kelly Shannahan, assistant chief administrative officer, reminded the commissioners the casino revenues are permitted to be used for a narrow scope of public safety expenditures.

“The local impact grants and the multi-year plan specifies impact from the casino in the general vicinity,” he said.

Cost savings were also found in an Emergency Services request for 77 radios for school buses, initially estimated at more than $338,000.

Bunting noted the board of education is filing a grant application for roughly $82,000 to finance the purchase of 25 radios and that the board could pursue that avenue in subsequent years to obtain the required radio count.

“I don’t think 77 radios need to be in there,” he said.

Bunting also questioned the cost per radio, with the recommended model costing $3,000 each, while proposing a less costly model for $1,450 would suffice for school bus applications.

“I don’t see why [we can’t] use nonpublic safety radios for buses,” he said.

Emergency Services Assistant Director James Hamilton explained the less costly models are suitable for nonemergency county workers, while the higher cost radios are appropriate for first responders with multiple channel and bandwidth capabilities.

The lower cost radio model is the same used in non-public safety vehicles in the county, which are handheld, Hamilton said.

“Anywhere we install a radio in a physical vehicle, that is the least expensive,” he said.

In answer to concerns raised about the application of handheld radios inside hectic school buses, Hamilton suggested a potential solution could involve installing a remote speaker microphone.

“It would probably add $250 cost for a speaker microphone and portable charger,” he said.

Budget Officer Kathy Whited said the estimated cost for the bus radios had already been reduced from

$338,000 to about $245,000.

Whited estimated the price for the lower cost models, at $1,450 each or $1,700 to include a remote speaker set up, would be just under $130,000.

Adding in another approximately $11,000 for radio base stations needed inside schools, the final figure would be about $141,000.

While moving to approve the purchase of lower cost radios, Bunting said if the school board gets its $82,000 grant, it could buy more radios because of the cost reductions.

Also pared down was a request for 50 public-safety radios, at a cost of $3,000 per unit, for fire and EMS responders.

Hamilton said the request is based on new pieces of large fire equipment being put into service and to forecast future needs.

Commissioner Chip Bertino suggested chopping the number in half.

He said under-budgeted amounts could be revisited with an over-expenditure request if needed.

Bunting once again made an unanimously approved motion to reduce the Fire/EMS radio tally to 25 units for a cost of $75,000.

In response to a discussion regarding tweaks to the volunteer fire department budget, Mitrecic stressed the importance of addressing the increasSee COUNTY Page 16

County delves into staffing requests for new fiscal year

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Financial restraint was the guiding principle Tuesday, as the Worcester County Commissioners denied a third of two-dozen departmental staffing requests to trim roughly $330,000 from budget requests for the new fiscal year.

Human Resource Director Stacey Norton presented new and amended position requests from numerous department heads during the budget work session on Tuesday.

The first and highest cost request at $85,000 was from county administration for a project manager.

Norton explained the workload between monitoring existing structures and ongoing capital projects warrants the new position, which was voted down 5-2 with Commission President Diana Purnell and Commissioner Josh Nordstrom in support.

A trio of requests from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, including full-time school resource officers, was also denied.

Norton said school resource officers

currently are part-time positions, with the proposed expansion increasing the salary about $13,000 for a full-time rate of roughly $44,000.

“The vision of the sheriff is to have full-time school resource officers in each of the high schools,” she said.

Norton said Sheriff Matt Crisafulli would reassign the three full-time school resource officers when classes were not in session.

“The Sheriff’s Office, as well as all the other departments, are currently facing a labor shortage and lack of quality applicants,” she said.

Commissioner Joe Mitrecic asked what other salary costs would be involved, with Norton responding that they would include about $30,000 in benefits and $16,000 in operating expenses for each position.

Commissioner Jim Bunting asked if the schools were not adequately staffed through supplemental help from the Sheriff’s Office.

“Yes, but not with the same deputy at each school,” Norton said.

Expanding the now part-time posiSee NORDSTROM Page 18

County trims fiscal ‘20 budget Continued from Page 14 ing need for emergency responders in West Ocean City.

“We’re going to need a moratorium on building in West Ocean City,” he said. “Ocean City can no longer charge its taxpayers to run EMS and fire calls out in West Ocean City.”

Mitrecic said if budget requests from volunteer fire companies are not met, the members could opt out of providing public service, leaving a higher cost for the county to absorb.

“We’re going to end up paying for fire companies throughout the county and then God help us,” he said. “You think the board of education is expensive and the sheriff’s department, you wait until we start paying for fire protection and EMS throughout the county.”

After a morning closed session, followed by hours of discussion, Whited said expenditures were reduced by more than $827,000 during the budget work session with a second round scheduled for next Tuesday.

Nordstrom troubled by lack of funds for school security Continued from Page 16 tions would allow officers to be dedicated to particular schools, Norton said.

The request died for lack of a second after Nordstrom made a motion to approve.

The Sheriff’s Office was also turned down for a requested full-time office assistant at a salary of more than $31,000 to help with backlogged paperwork.

Again, a motion to approve by Nordstrom failed to gain a second.

Pitching a third strike, the Sheriff’s Office was also stymied on a request to convert one court deputy position from part-time to full time for the same salary bump of roughly $13,000, with, once again, Nordstrom lending the only support.

The lack of financial support for the Sheriff’s Office elicited criticism from Nordstrom.

“What is most concerning is the lack of support for school security,” he said.

Commissioner Ted Elder asked Norton to confirm the number of personnel at the Sheriff’s department, which she said currently has 108 members.

“I think that’s sufficient,” he said.

Faring a bit better was the Department of Review and Permitting, which had one request denied and another approved.

Commissioner Joe Mitrecic made a motion to deny a request to reclassify a zoning inspector to a supervisor position with a salary of more than $57,000.

“We certainly don’t need more people supervising, we need more people doing plan review and … turning out permits,” he said.

Conversely, the commissioners voted to approve reclassifying an office

assistant position to a permitting specialist, which represents a salary reduction.

Commissioner Bud Church said review and permitting is extremely backlogged and suggested making future adjustments to the department.

Environmental Programs was approved for a license permit clerk position at a salary of more than $32,000. Norton said that person would work with constituents and free up time for higher level staff to process permits.

The commissioners also signed off on a pair of summer interns for Environmental Programs.

Emergency Services was denied a request for an electronic services project manager at a salary of $75,000 to supplement the assistant director.

Emergency Services was approved for three communication clerks, parttime positions paying less than $10,000 annually.

The commissioners also denied a request from the Worcester County Jail to hire an additional correctional officer at a salary of more than $44,000, with Nordstrom the sole affirmative vote.

The Roads Department was approved for a handful of part-time grass cutting positions, with the Parks Department also approved for a pair of lawn workers.

The Library Department was approved for a part-time historian at the Snow Hill branch. A request last year for a full-time historian was denied, Norton said.

Mitrecic said trimming the fiscal 2020 staffing requests also saved more than $61,000 in associated costs for vehicles.

“It looks like we eliminated the need for vehicles in this request,” he said.

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) For the students attending Worcester Technical High School, last Wednesday’s 2019 National Signing Day was more than just a ceremony.

“An event like this is important because it’s good for kids to get recognition for their skills, and it makes them feel like they’re appreciated,” said Di’Mond Lockwood, a Stephen Decatur High School senior and Worcester Technical High School cosmetology student.

Forty students from Pocomoke, Snow Hill and Stephen Decatur High schools were acknowledged for completing vocational classes during the ceremony held on Worcester Technical High School’s campus. In addition to a certificate, students also received a chord to wear at their graduation ceremonies.

Event organizers likened the Worcester Tech ceremony to that of an athlete college-bound to play sports.

“The students who are signing have completed a WTHS program, and now have a pathway to the chosen profession,” event organizers said. The school offers 25 career and technology programs.

Tom Zimmer has advocated for vocational careers during his first year as Worcester Tech’s principal.

Showell first-grade students take trip to OC Boardwalk

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) The Ocean City Boardwalk became a sea of blue last Friday morning as 140 Showell Elementary School first graders in matching T-shirts strolled along the resort’s landmark.

Aly Brabitz, a physical education teacher at Showell Elementary School, said the field trip was a reward for the students’ hard work in the fitness challenge. They walked 40 laps at the school in Berlin, which she said constitutes 10 miles.

To go on the field trip, the students had to sign a contract and walk the walk, literally.

“So that’s how they kind of earn their trip, and then I think it’s just important

[that] they commit to it, [and] they can’t give up,” Brabitz said. “If they don’t reach their goal they don’t get to come on the trip, but, fortunately, all of our students did reach their goal.”

Brabitz added that 10 miles is “the

distance from our school and the Boardwalk,” and is also symbolic. “[It’s] a sense of accomplishment [that] they get to come out and enjoy the Boardwalk and the beautiful day,” Brabitz said.

“I just love [carpentry],” Mayhue said.

Sen. Mary Beth Carozza (R-38) also attended last Wednesday’s event and brought with her a proclamation signed

by Gov. Larry Hogan.

Last week’s event was the brainchild of Tracy Lewis, who said he hopes the students’ futures are bright.

“I just hope they’re inspired to look,”

Lewis said. “A lot of our industry partners and businesses [came] here to support them so they (the students) can say, ‘That could be me in 10 years, maybe I could own this business.’”

Zimmer also said he plans to continue the National Signing Day tradition for years to come.

As for the students’ next chapter, Zimmer said he “hope[s] they take away a feeling of pride in what they do.”

April police activity slightly higher

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (May 17, 2019) Calls for service from the police department were down slightly last month, 3.4 percent compared to the previous year, while overall citizen calls for service were up nearly 10 percent, according to Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro.

Those numbers exclude traffic stops and business checks. All things being equal, total calls this April were 11.7 percent higher than a year ago, according to police numbers.

Topping the calls for service list in April were traffic stops, which were 538 versus 264 a year ago. Buzzuro, during a Police Commission meeting on Monday, said that was because officers were becoming more proactive.

Del. man gets 10 years for drug possession, trafficking (May 17, 2019) A Worcester County jury last week convicted 29year-old James Tankard, of Dagsboro, Delaware, of possession with intent to distribute heroin, stemming from an incident that occurred last year in Ocean City.

According to the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s office, the Ocean City Police Department’s Narcotics and Street Enforcement Unit pulled over Tankard during a traffic stop in October 2018.

Tankard was the passenger in a vehicle being driven in the area of 142nd Street. Officers reportedly stopped the car, knowing Tankard had an active warrant for his arrest.

A search of Tankard revealed 261 wax baggies containing 58 total grams of heroin. Officers also recovered $775 in U.S. currency, which the court ordered forJames Tankard feited to police. The street value of the drugs was estimated to be about $2,600.

Tankard was sentenced by Worcester County Circuit Judge Brian D. Shockley to serve 15 years in the division of correction, with all but 10 years suspended. He is to be placed on three years of supervised probation upon his release from prison.

Notable break in

Driver hits cop car

Brandon Taylor Olszewski, 26 of Ocean City, was arrested after breaking into a home on May 7.

Police responded to a break-in at 8:26 a.m. after the property owner, Wayne Hartman, said he and his son were letting construction workers into the unoccupied 26th Street unit. Hartman apparently told police an unknown male was sleeping on his couch.

Olszewski told police he had no idea how he got there and could not remember the night before.

Later that day, construction workers informed police they found a Maryland identification card and a card from a local nightclub bearing Olszewski‘s name “jammed inside the door near the locking mechanism.”

Olszewski was charged with fourthdegree burglary. A trial is scheduled for June 10 at the Worcester County District Court in Ocean City.

Patrick Ryan Wheeler, 22 of Milford, Delaware, was charged after allegedly crashing into a police car on May 7.

Police were dispatched at 1:24 a.m. after another officer reported that her car had been struck head-on.

Upon police arrival, Wheeler was being treated at the scene and his 2015 Honda Civic reportedly bore significant front-end damage.

Police said Wheeler appeared to have been drinking. He failed field sobriety tests and later registered a 0.23 blood-alcohol content level on a breathalyzer test. In Maryland, the legal limit for blood-alcohol content is 0.08.

Wheeler was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He waived his right to an attorney during an initial court appearance on May 7 and faces trial on July 1 at the Worcester County District Court in Ocean City.

Police unworried about uptick Continued from Page 21 the reason for the 50-percent increase, but it’s “something to keep an eye on.”

He said vehicle collisions were similar to the numbers a year ago. Noticeably higher were controlled dangerous substance violations, 28 versus 10 during April 2018, and noise complaints, 22 in April 2019 and just six during April 2018.

Lower were city ordinance violations, 25 this year against 39 a year ago, and civil disputes, 22 this year versus 34 in April 2018.

Police enforcement was higher in April 2019, largely driven by an increase in custodial arrests, 100 this year against 70 in 2018. Drug citations for marijuana were 29 this year versus just 11 a year ago, and DUI arrests (23

in 2019 to 12 in 2018) and weapon arrests (eight this year to zero in 2018) were also higher.

“From an operational standpoint, we kept pretty busy in April,” Buzzuro said. “But, I’m looking at the amount of activity in relation to crime instances … [and] we’re right around where we were last year.

“Although calls for service are slightly higher … there’s not something in there that we are terribly concerned about,” he added.

Mayor Rick Meehan added there were “no major crimes” last month.

“No, sir,” Buzzuro said.

Meehan joked the headline, to him, was that “BOLO’s” were down from a year ago, 42 to 55. BOLO is a police acronym for “Be On the Look Out.”

Berlin man defrauds Ocean Pines residents

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) A 47-year-old man will spend four months in prison for defrauding Ocean Pines residents, the Tuesday, the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office reported following his sentencing in circuit court Tuesday.

Pasco “Patrick” Allen, of Berlin, was initially sentenced to 18 months in prison by the Judge W. Newton Jackson, with all but four months were suspended.

Allen was charged with a host of offenses, and was convicted of obtaining

property by deception of a vulnerable adult up to $1,500 and three counts of failure to perform a contract. He pled guilty to the charges in February.

Ocean Pines homeowners reported complaints referencing Allen to the Ocean Pines Police Department from October 2017 to June 2018, the state’s attorney’s office said.

Homeowners said they hired Allen for landscaping jobs and general home improvement work, and that ee accepted their money but did not complete the jobs.

Allen also was not licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Com-

mission, according to investigation findings.

He faced several other charges including acting as a contractor without a license and theft of $100 to under $1,500, according to the District Court of Maryland’s CaseSearch website. Of the 29 charges, 25 counts were not prosecuted.

State’s Attorney Kristin Heiser urged people to take advantage of online services to protect themselves against criminals.

“Empowering our citizens to educate themselves on an individual’s criminal history and licensing status is an impor-

tant part of the mission of the State’s Attorney’s Office,” Heiser said. “We are working every day to raise awareness about these types of financial crimes and predators so that we can prevent citizens from becoming future victims.”

Anyone interested in searching criminal records can visit the Maryland Judiciary Case Search’s website at mdcourts.gov.

To check if a person is licensed to do home improvement work, visit the Maryland Home Improvement Commission’s website at dllr.state.md.us/license/mhic.

Sewell found guilty of misconduct in office

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Former Pocomoke City Police Chief Kelvin Sewell was summoned back before a jury in Worcester County Circuit Court this week and was, once again, found guilty of misconduct in office stemming from a vehicular collision in November 2014.

Maryland State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt said the two-day trial wrapped up on Wednesday, with the jury returning the guilty verdict at about 4:30 p.m., with a sentencing date still to be scheduled.

Davitt said the state is gratified with

the verdict for a case that was remanded back to circuit court after the Maryland Court of Special Appeals rescinded the original guilty conviction from December 2016.

“We feel this case has been mischaracterized by some members of the media,” he said.

Davitt said what some described as a “minor fender bender” was in fact a serious accident, where responding officers’ attempts to investigate were subverted.

In December 2016, a jury convicted Sewell of misconduct in office, but cleared him of conspiracy charges, with Judge W.

Newton Jackson III sentencing Sewell to three years of supervised probation, but suspending a three-year jail term.

The conviction was later overturned by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, who found the trial judge had prevented Sewell from introducing expert witnesses on “untenable grounds,” and the case was remanded for a new trial in Worcester Circuit Court.

Sewell, who served as Pocomoke Police Chief from 2011 until being relived of duties in June 2015, was initially indicted in July 2016 on charges of conspiracy to commit misconduct and misconduct in office.

The misdemeanor charges stemmed from allegations that Sewell and former Pocomoke Police Lt. Lynell Green, who was also indicted on misconduct charges, intervened to curtail a hit-andrun investigation in November 2014 involving an acquaintance, Doug Matthews, who was a fellow member of the Masonic Lodge in Pocomoke.

Matthews, who was employed as a state correctional officer, reportedly fell asleep while returning home from the Pocomoke Union Lodge and struck two unoccupied parked cars.

According to Matthews, after the collision he continued a short distance to his residence, despite losing a wheel in the dust up, and opted to contact Green, who responded to the home and was later joined by Sewell.

During the trial, former Pocomoke Police Officer Tonya Barnes, who was the investigating officer, claimed Sewell interfered when she attempted to interview Matthews.

Barnes said Sewell instructed her to record the incident as an accident, not a hit and run, as the damaged vehicles were unoccupied and no persons were injured.

Prior to the misconduct trial, Sewell had filed a federal complaint of racial discrimination in March 2015 against the police department. In June, the complaint was amended to include the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.

After the Pocomoke City Council fired Sewell as police chief on June 29, 2015, the EEOC complaint was amended to include wrongful termination.

In April 2016, the EEOC determined reasonable cause existed to accept that Sewell was “subjected to harassment in retaliation for protected activity[,]” and “discharged in retaliation for protected activity.”

Prior to Sewell’s misconduct trial in December 2016, he joined Green and another former Pocomoke City Police Officer Franklin Savage, in a lawsuit against the town, state and county for Title VII violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to which the U.S. Department of Justice also signed on.

In March, Pocomoke reached a settlement with the plaintiffs.

Argh mateys: Wor. Youth to host 11th annual Pirate Party

PHOTO COURTESY MEREDITH HERBERT

Thousands of people display their vintage cars to be admired in the inlet parking lot during Cruisin’ Ocean City last year.

Cruisin’ Ocean City returns to town Thousands of classics, hot rods and street machines to take over resort, Berlin

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) The 29th annual Cruisin’ Ocean City event rolled into the resort on Thursday and will continue until Sunday.

This nationally-recognized show attracts more than 3,000 customs, hot rods, street machines, classics and other vehicles from over 20 states, and Canada.

“It’s just become a tradition,” Event Promoter Meredith Herbert said. “We hear so many families say that they come year after year.”

While the main events take place at the inlet parking lot and the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, there will be various citywide locations as well as events at the US 13 Dragway in Delmar, Delaware.

Scheduled to appear at this year’s Cruisin’ is Catherine Bach, best known for her role as Daisy Duke from the “Dukes of Hazzard.”

“We’re excited to have her and she’s excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary [of the show],” Herbert said. “It’s one of those shows where

grandparents can watch with their grandkids and now the grandkids are growing up and showing it to their kids.”

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the “Dukes of Hazzard” with Bach and the General Lee show car. Bach will be at the convention center Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the inlet on Saturday during the same time.

Also scheduled to appear, from the hit show “Counting Cars,” is Ryan Evans. Evans will be at the inlet on Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and inside the convention center on Saturday at the same time.

Additional entertainment includes live music provided by Mook Jones and Ben Fuller, BINGO, Seaside Jimmy, Cruisin Gold Deejay, the fifth annual Pin Up Contest, and a neon and LED light car show.

The US 13 Dragway, in Delmar, Delaware, is an additional location for activities this year. Events will take place Friday and Saturday and include Jet Dragsters, No Prep racing, burnout contests, test and tunes and car shows.

For more information, visit TakinittotheStrip.com or call 302846-3911. Gates at the US 13 Dragway open at 4 p.m.

Another new event for Cruisin’

2019 will be the Cruisin’ Car Corral, held Friday, inside the convention center, where show cars that are for sale will be on display. For more information, call 410-871-8381 or email info@cruisinclassicauctions.com.

Some of the country’s top national names will be showcasing their products in manufacturers midway at the inlet parking lot including Advance Auto Parts, Advantage Lifts, AMSOIL, Barrett-Jackson, Classic Auto Mall, COMP Performance, Covercraft Car Covers, CVF Racing, Detroit Speed, Flaming River, GEICO, Grundy Insurance, Krietz Auto, McQueen Classics, Miller Electric, Mothers Polish, Pinnacle Concrete, QA1, Ride Tech, Ron Francis Wiring, Summit Racing, Sundance Vacations, TREMEC, Truck’n America and Wissel & Walsh.

“Inside the convention center you’ll find your automotive parts,” Herbert said. “But you also see some craft and jewelry vendors. It’s a little bit of everything.”

At the convention center there will be Pioneer Pole Buildings and Treasured Motorcar Services as well vendors both inside and outside selling automotive merchandise along with arts and crafts, jewelry and T-shirts.

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Roughly 20 pirates of a sort will don their finest gear for a good cause this Friday during the Pirate Party fundraiser.

Steve Taylor, executive director of Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services, said event guests could expect to see a ship’s complement of buccaneers at the 11th annual event.

“The pirates themselves go all out, and many of them are ordering their outfits online, [which] typically comes with a hat, and a patch, and a jacket, and pants, and boots, and the whole thing,” Taylor said. “Others make their own costumes – blue jeans with a red bandana or something like that.

Maybe a gold hoop earing, so there’s quite a variety of outfits, which is what makes it fun.”

Taylor expects about 150 people to attend Friday’s affair, which will take place from 6-9 p.m. Sunset Grille on 12933 Sunset Ave. in West Ocean City.

While it’s not required, event organizers encouraged guests to dress in pirate attire.

Tickets can be purchased for $49 at the Sunset Grille or at the Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services’ office on 124 North Main St. in downtown Berlin. Event proceeds help fund the organization’s programs.

“It’s our largest fundraiser of the year,” Taylor said.

The event’s fundraising has varied in recent years, according to Taylor, who said the event has raised $201,083 since 2013. The proceeds peaked in 2017 with $49,581, according to Taylor.

In addition to the entertainment, the price of admission allows guests access to a buffet and one free drink ticket.

Guests also will be offered live music, raffles, and a silent auction, according to organization officials.

The pirates may not have to walk the plank, but will be aboard the Duckaneer Pirate Ship, which Taylor said would be docked outside of Sunset Grille.

“Seeing people dressed up as pirates and walking around and behaving like pirates and having the Duckaneer pirate ship there is … just a fun-filled event,” he said.

Worcester Technical High School students jump in excitement following their performance in the Maryland State SkillsUSA competition, April 12-14, in Baltimore.

Worcester Tech takes home SkillsUSA awards

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Worcester Technical High School students affiliated with SkillsUSA have much to celebrate, as members took home awards from a state-level competition and earned a national level Chapter of Excellence last month.

“It was just a wonderful feeling for everyone involved,” Principal Tom Zimmer said in April.

The SkillsUSA mission is to work with “students, teachers and industry … to ensure America has a skilled

workforce.”

Rick Stephens, a welding teacher and the lead SkillsUSA advisor for Worcester Technical High School, said the school’s team has won the state level for the past three years.

This is the third year Worcester County has been awarded a gold standard for the national level for the Chapter of Excellence.

Worcester and Dorchester counties were the only counties from this region to earn the national level award.

Zimmer praised Stephens’ efforts,

saying, “He’s not only well known in the state of Maryland, he’s well known nationally through the Skills program, and any time you have a leader of that caliber, who has done it for decades, it is a real bonus to our school and to the students.”

For his part, Stephens said the honors were the result of a team effort.

“It’s very exciting, obviously, and the one big thing is that it’s the whole school,” Stephens said in April. “It takes everybody here to be involved with it all the instructors are [advi-

sors] for their kids.”

Stephens has been teaching for 35 years and also serves on the SkillsUSA Maryland State board of Directors. He said the school has been affiliated with the program for 38 years.

Stephens said the contest took place from April 12-14 in Baltimore.

He added Worcester Technical High School brought 100 students to compete in 38 different events that ranged from extemporaneous speaking to welding.

Students receive national, state recognition Continued from Page 29 Stephens said 1,200 students competed in Maryland, and 60 Worcester Technical High School students that placed in the top three in their categories in the state.

Zimmer said these types of competitions help students in vocational training gain practical experience be-

cause “there are jobs to be had where students don’t necessarily have to go to college and can avoid massive amounts of college student loan debt and come out on their feet with a good job pretty quickly in their young life and be very successful.”

As Stephens noted, success in SkillsUSA is something that can go on

a resume.

“It really gives them a leg up. The kids that are going to go right out of school and into the trade, obviously if they’ve competed in SkillsUSA, that’s going to be a great talking point for them when they go to get hired.”

Next month, 30 students from the

school will head to Kentucky to compete at the national level from June 23-29.

Stephens said the team is working on fundraising to cover the estimated $58,000 cost of the trip.

Anyone interested in donating can call Stephens or SkillsUSA advisor Crystal Bunting at 410-632-5050.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Sautéed wild mushrooms with fresh herbs

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 17, 2019) If one was asked to describe and define a mushroom, how would you respond?

First and foremost, you must make it perfectly clear that mushrooms are not plants or vegetables but an edible fungus.

If coherence is to flourish, one might inquire, “What is a fungus?”

Sometimes answers can be complicated, so for the sake of clarity I went to Ducksters, an educational site for children and found a simple answer.

Fungi are a group of living organisms which are classified in their own kingdom. In other words, they are not animals, plants, or bacteria, but something in between and very unique.

As we move on, the actual word “mushroom” applies to any fungus of the same general shape as a classic mushroom. In other words, they must have a round cap and stalk.

However, exceptions are understood and part of the norm.

Some mushrooms grow out of the side of a tree trunk and have almost no stalk. The oyster fungus, often called

the oyster mushroom, has a very short, offset stem and is a perfect example of this.

The mysterious mushroom is one of the most divisive and delectable ingredients for the pickings. You are either in love or detest the flavorful fungi, indecisiveness is not on this menu of partiality.

Preparation may be the biggest reason that mushrooms get a bad rap.

You have to know how to cook mushrooms so you can coax the wonderful aromas and textures that make them so special. Following are a few tips for fanatics and skeptics alike.

Mushrooms, especially wild mushrooms, are like sponges: they soak up moisture. If you wash them, they will get waterlogged. Instead, clean them with a damp paper towel.

Yes, it is annoying and time consuming to clean all those little crevices by hand, but the results are well worth the extra effort.

Mushrooms are packed with water.

It is imperative to cook them slowly so the natural water will seep out. If you keep the heat low, the mushrooms will simmer in their own liquid, which ultimately brings out their true essence.

Roasting is another option. Again, the heat acts as a conductor and forces the moisture out. The grand finale is a

gorgeous brown and delectable consistency that cannot be beat.

Do not overcrowd the pan when sautéing mushrooms. You want enough room for their liquid to evaporate.

If you pack them in the pan, they will steam which defeats the whole purpose and philosophy of how to properly cook mushrooms.

Portobellos are a natural encasing for stuffing. But it is important to remove the dark

brown gills underneath the cap. They are not attractive and will affect the taste and color of your dish. Simply See ALLOW Page 35

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Allow mushrooms’ distinctive umami flavor to shine in dish Continued from Page 33 use a spoon to scrape them out.

In closing, the secret to cooking mushrooms is to allow their distinctive umami flavor to shine. Added ingredients must be carefully chosen so they enhance and not compete with the actual mushroom.

Sautéed wild mushrooms with fresh herbs is easy to make and a wonder addition to any protein.

The lemon juice adds freshness to the earthiness of the mushrooms.

Chicken stock gives the dish depth of flavor and smooths out the acidity of the lemon juice.

Most recipes call for fresh garlic, but I prefer garlic powder. The garlic powder permeates the mushrooms more evenly and makes for a more cohesive dish.

Take advantage of the spring and the opportunity to upscale your menu.

Sautéed wild mushrooms with fresh herbs is a refreshing and delicious side that is sure to wow your guests.

Sautéed Wild Mushrooms with Fresh Herbs Ingredients 2 pounds mixed wild mushrooms

(such as cremini, shiitake, porcini, oyster and portobello) ¼ cup good quality olive oil ¼ cup chicken stock 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 2 teaspoons garlic powder kosher salt to taste few splashes fresh lemon juice fresh herbs (such as thyme, Thai basil, oregano, or rosemary) 1. Brush the caps of each mushroom with a wet paper towel. Remove the stems and freeze for future stock.

Slice according to personal preference.

2. Heat the olive oil, chicken stock and butter in a large Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients except for the lemon juice and herbs and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, or until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often.

3. Add lemon juice and fresh herbs and cook for another two minutes.

Sprinkle a dusting of salt and serve warm.

Volunteers sought for Diamondback Terrapin count (May 17, 2019) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program is looking for volunteers to participate in the annual Diamondback Terrapin count from May 28 through June 1.

The diamondback terrapin may be Maryland’s state reptile and the mascot for the University of Maryland, but its current population status in the Coastal Bays is poorly understood. In an effort to better understand its status, both organizations coordinate annual counts.

Trained volunteers will conduct these surveys throughout the week of May 28 through June 1.

Those interested in becoming a volunteer to conduct surveys, training classes will be held on Sunday, May 19, at 2 p.m. and Wednesday, May 22, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. RSVP to Katherine Phillips at kphillips@mdcoastalbays.org to attend.

The classes will take place at the Maryland Coastal Bays Program office, located at 8219 Stephen Decatur Highway in Berlin.

creeks throughout the designated week.

Counts take place both on water and on land. From motorboats to kayaks and SUPs, all are encouraged to participate.

Terrapins are the only turtle occupying brackish water, but other turtles, such as snapping turtles, may venture into more brackish water, so it’s important that volunteers are trained to identify the correct species.

Locations of surveys will depend on the number of crews that are available and may take place in all of Maryland’s Coastal Bays.

To participate in the survey, contact Phillips at kphillips@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297, ext. 109.

(May 17, 2019) The Art League of Ocean City is now accepting reservations for the second “The Big Get-Together,” a fun tastings event that brings together art, craft beer, wines and food prepared by local restaurants, on Wednesday, May 22, from 6-9 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street.

The event will raise funds for the programs of the Art League.

The Arts Center will host the event throughout its galleries. Tickets cost $35 in advance and $40 at the door the night of the event. Reservations are available at artleagueofoceancity.org or by calling 410-5249433.

Co-sponsored by the OC Foodie Tour, ShoreCraft Beer, and Windmill Creek Vineyards & Winery, the event features tastings of food prepared by local restaurants with hand-selected craft beer from area breweries, locally-produced wines, and art displayed in the galleries.

Claire Esham of Ocean City will entertain with live music. Artist Halie Torris will be offering wine glasses she hand paints in various designs.

The OC Bay Hopper will be on the waterway by the Arts Center.

New this year is the “99 Bottles of Wine on the Wall” benefit wine auction where patrons can take a chance on mystery wines that include several bottles with superior vintages plus surprise gift cards to local restaurants and venues.

“This is your chance to support the arts and have fun with your friends at the same time,” Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art League, said.

“Get together for an enjoyable night out and celebrate what brings folks to our town: delicious local food, handcrafted beer, and wine produced right here in Worcester County.

“Brewing hand-crafted beer is an

art,” Thaler continued. “Growing and producing wine is an art. So is presenting hors d’oeuvres in a hand-designed way. This event ‘gets-together’ those crafts with original artwork, including a ‘Felines vs. Canines’ show where sales benefit the Humane Society. Browse through our galleries, be entertained by live music by a young up-and-coming local musician, and enjoy the night.”

Local restaurants serving food at the event include participants of the OC Foodie Tour, where diners sample specialty plates on the downtown and midtown routes of the tour.

Those restaurants include Longboard Cafe, Sanibel’s Oceanside 32, Higgins Crab House, Tailchasers, Pit & Pub, Buxy’s Salty Dog, Dolle’s, and Candy Kitchen. Three local breweries — represented by ShoreCraft Beer and including Tall Tales and Burley Oak — will serve craft beer tastings.

Also premiering at the event is the participation of the local Windmill Creek Vineyards & Winery, a family owned and operated vineyard, winery, wild flower farm, and special events venue situated on the grounds of the Historic Mariner House on Worcester Hwy. Representatives will serve tastings of their locally-produced wines at the event, including Gruner Veltliner, Riesling, Chambourcin, and Summer Red, plus a brand new Rosé.

The Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street is the home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship, programs and community art projects.

Jellyfish Festival hopes to recapture spirit of Dew Tour

By Josh Davis News Editor (May 17, 2019) The resort may have been dealt a blow when the Dew Tour left four years ago, but the inaugural Jellyfish Festival, June 21-23, looks to recapture much of that spirit, but with a more homegrown, local flare.

The three-day event will highlight “the art of music and sports” and is sponsored by the Town of Ocean City, Livewire Media and Events, and Culture Changers LLC. Organizer Brad Hoffman said the idea for the event came about in the wake of the Dew Tour’s departure.

“I’ve lived in Ocean City for over 35 years and been a part of the community, whether it’s been surfing or skateboarding or producing events,” Hoffman said. “Back when the Dew Tour was here I was lucky enough to work on that event.”

Hoffman is also a promoter for area events including Ocean City Jeep Week and the OC Car and Truck Show.

“I have deep roots in the surf and skate industry, and I have my own trade shows that produce events and did marketing, so when the Dew Tour left town I thought there was a vacuum, but I definitely wanted to work with some great people to build some-

thing different,” he said.

Hoffman said the former festival was “a young-based event that had music and had beach culture, the town was all about it, and then it went away.”

“I wanted to build something that would stay here, that had roots in the community, paid attention to the local bands and the local music community – as well as celebrated national acts – and then built in some surfing, skateboarding, fitness components, music for kids and art for kids. [I wanted] it to be even more organic than what a big company could produce when they take over a footprint.

“We wanted to do something that was all about the community, but also on a national level – all about the sports and the culture that we love, but with a local feel – but with a lot of national brands supporting it,” he added.

The large-scale music and sporting event is set to take over six blocks along downtown Ocean City, north of the pier, with three themed days of music, featuring “Fresh Friday,” “Classic Saturday,” and “Music with a Message Sunday.”

Local, regional and national musical acts are booked, along with exSee JELLYFISH Page 38

Participants will receive prizes and free swag. Times and performances are to be announced.

The Jellyfish Festival will also feature a preview day, Thursday, June 20, for first responders. Hoffman said that portion, coinciding with the Maryland State Firemen’s Association Annual Convention, would serve as a stress test and a “soft sound check” for the main event.

“It’s a day to celebrate first respon-

ders, military, marine, police – all the people that keep us safe,” he said. “The mayor thought it was a great idea and I’m working with the folks from the Firemen’s Convention to create it.”

He said the event would include a video slide show and live music, with a folk and country vibe.

Hoffman said the goal for year one of the Jellyfish Festival is to produce something that’s both economically and culturally successful for the town.

“We want to continue to be able to make this happen and provide success for the businesses, whether they’re a part of it or not a part of it – whether it’s the pizza place on the Boardwalk or the hotel up the street, or the retail store or the candy shop. We want them all making money at the end of this thing.”

As for the cultural take away, Hoffman said he wanted attendees to check yes on whether Jellyfish “was fun, was cool, was hip.”

“I want everybody to have a blast. I want it to be successful, but I want everybody to have a blast,” he said. “You can bring your kids, you can do a bunch of cool stuff, you can hang out and listen to some great music, you can see right on the beach, or you can go right up on the Boardwalk – to me, there’s not a better home for any festival.

“I’m blessed to be able to work with the Town of Ocean City and the mayor and the council, and Donna [Abbott] at the tourism department and Frank [Miller] at special events, and all the entities of the city that are making this thing happen. This is a big team effort – it’s not just me,” he continued.

“The biggest thing people can do is buy tickets and support this event. We want it to be a big success right out of the gate,” Hoffman added.

Single-day passes start at $49 and two-day passes start at $79. To purchase tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com or www.jellyfishfestival.com.

Jellyfish also has sponsorship, partnership, and booth space opportunities for any budget still available. If interested, contact Salty Selt at selt@comcast.net or 410-251-4923.

Ocean City Today

Witherow’s second book in fantasy series now available (May 17, 2019) Barbara Witherow, full-time author and Ocean Pines resident, is scheduled to sign her newlyreleased sequel at two bookstores this May. “The Tether,” written under the pen name “Julia Ash,” is the second installment in her dark fantasy series: “The ELI Chronicles.”

The first book signing will be held on Saturday, May 18, at The Greyhound Indie Bookstore in Berlin. On Saturday, May 25, another signing will be held in West Ocean City at Pam’s Hallmark Shoppe, located in the White Marlin Mall.

Both events are scheduled from noon to 3 p.m. and are open to the public.

“Maryland’s Eastern Shore does a fantastic job at supporting and celebrating the arts. I am very grateful to both bookstores for providing me with the opportunity to meet and greet people interested in my books,” she said. “I’m thrilled to autograph ‘The Tether,’ as well as ‘The One and

Only,’ my debut novel.”

“The Tether” takes place in 2041, nine years after the ending of “The One and Only.”

“The stakes are even higher in the sequel,” Witherow said. “In my debut, the barriers were primarily physical. Ruby, my main character, had to respond to multiple attacks to escape her captors, survive, and save her family. In the sequel, she faces a cunning, powerful, and nefarious immortal who has set his sights on Earth. But to defeat him, she needs to outsmart him,” she added. “I really enjoyed giving my readers a different kind of challenge for Ruby, without sacrificing the sequel’s pacing.”

The third installment in “The ELI Chronicles” is scheduled for release in 2020. (ELI is an acronym for Extinction Level Infection.)

Updates on events and projects can be found on Witherow’s author website, https://juliaashbooks.wordpress.com.

MAY 17, 2019

Barbara Witherow holds her sequel, “The Tether,” released on April 23. Her debut paperback, “The One and Only,” was released in April 2018. She has several book signings coming up.

Open house at OC museum, Sat. (May 17, 2019) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum is holding an open house in recognition of International Museum Day on Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This free event will celebrate the 2019 International Museum Day theme: “Museums as Cultural Hubs: The future of tradition.”

The role of museums in society is changing. Museums keep reinventing themselves in their quest for becoming more interactive, audience focused, community oriented, flexible, adaptable and mobile.

They have become cultural hubs functioning as platforms where creativity combines with knowledge and where visitors can also co-create, share and interact.

As museums increasingly grow into their roles as cultural hubs, they are also finding new ways to honor their collections, their histories and their

legacies, creating traditions that will have new meaning for future generations.

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is committed to preserving the culture and traditions that lie within Ocean City and the Worcester County coastal region.

On May 18, visitors are asked to play an active role in preserving history by sharing their favorite Ocean City traditions. They will receive free admission to the museum and an opportunity to write their story in the museum’s log book.

Participants’ written tradition will be archived and preserved along with the museum’s collection of artifacts.

For more information, call 410289-4991 or visit www.ocmuseum.org.

The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is located at 813 S. Atlantic Ave., on the south end of the Boardwalk, across from the Inlet Village.

Business Sanibel’s replaces Rare and Rye at La Quinta on 32nd

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) Sanibel’s Oceanside 32 on 32nd Street is one of several establishments’ owner Kathleen Kropp opened this year.

She and her staff celebrated on Thursday, May 9, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the help of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber members, Mayor Rick Meehan, Sen. Mary Beth Carozza and Del. Wayne Hartman were among those who attended the event.

Kropp, originally from Baltimore, was beside herself with happiness that day.

“I’m so grateful that I got to meet the mayor and the dignitaries that were there,” Kropp said. “The people that came in had just such wonderful things to say about the food. I had noticed while I was sitting there that people not only were eating the food [but] people were [also] getting stuff to go.”

Sanibel’s Oceanside 32 replaces Rare and Rye in the La Quinta hotel.

The restaurant, which can seat 204 people, has the same decor and look, but the menu has been changed.

“It’s upscale authentic cuisine,” Kropp said. “We do a lot of seafood and steak.”

Kropp hired former Big Easy Chef Tracy Owes to be head chef of the restaurant. The eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food choices range from breakfast salads and French toast, to shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, fish tacos and lamp chops, to cheese boards. The eatery caters to all diets and flavor preferences.

Several other establishments of Kropp’s are slated to or have already opened for business this year.

A Marisol Market and Café located in the Gateway Hotel on Baltimore Avenue and First Street, will open for business this weekend.

Another Marisol’s Market and Café and a Sanibel’s at Sunset Island, both on 67th Street, are expected to open the weekend of May 24. Kropp will also be opening a Marisol Market in Virginia later this year.

However, things have not always been so successful for Kropp, despite having more than 20 years of experience managing restaurants and other businesses.

“I was involved in a very, very abusive marriage,” Kropp said. “After 26 years, I decided to put myself in therapy and I was able to walk away from all my businesses and everything back in Baltimore and I wound up in a homeless

Sanibel’s Oceanside 32 on 32nd Street in Ocean City celebrates its grand opening with a ribboncutting ceremony on Thursday, May 9.

shelter in Franklin Square Hospital.

“Three months after that, I started running the women and children shelter and opened up two more shelters,” she continued. “The bottom line is, I started my whole life over at age 50, which most people don’t get the opportunity to do.”

Four years ago, Kropp moved to Ocean City, and immediately set herself on a mission to do more for the community she cared about.

“This is where I want to be and if I plant my feet somewhere, I want to be a part of the community,” Kropp said.

Kropp has a close relationship with Diakonia, a homeless shelter located in West Ocean City. She often volunteers there, and regularly donates food that wasn’t sold at her stores.

Despite the many establishments that she will be supervising, Kropp said she is thrilled to help Ocean City

thrive.

“I love new startup businesses,” Kropp said. “It’s a big task and I couldn’t do it without the support and the staff that I surround myself with. I have an awesome team headed by chef Tracy.

“The Lord has blessed me abundantly but I surround myself with very positive people,” she continued. “Like I said, without my team, I’m nothing.

Ocean City is my home now and I just want to be a part of the community.”

Sanibel’s Oceanside 32 will be open for business year-round and offer happy hour prices from 3-6 p.m. every day, Kropp said.

“We’re going to be open, and we want to be able to attract the locals in Ocean City,” she said.

Currently, Sanibel’s Oceanside 32 is daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 17, 2019) If you watch the regional news stations, you may have seen the television ads for a real estate company called Redfin.

That is because Washington D.C. and Baltimore have been added to Redfin’s 80-plus markets in the U.S. and Canada.

Redfin began as a map-based real estate search website, but has evolved to become its own brokerage advertising a 1 percent listing fee in the areas they cover.

They hire their own agents and pay for salaries and health insurance, which is not the norm in the real estate industry where most real estate agents work as independent contractors under a broker of record.

This past week, RE/MAX withdrew from its corporate partnership with Redfin. The partnership, which had only just been created in March, was for Redfin to provide referrals to RE/MAX agents in Canada and roughly 5,000 zip codes in the U.S. According to statements issued, the decision to withdraw the partnership developed over concerns surrounding Redfin’s newly announced Redfin Direct.

This new service is being piloted in Boston for Redfin’s listing customers to get offers from unrepresented buyers.

In a statement released Friday, RE/MAX said, “RE/MAX strongly believes the role of a real estate agent in the homebuying and selling process is more important than ever.

“Consumers faced with the largest, most complex financial transaction of their lives should have a knowledgeable professional to guide and advise them. We believe real estate agents provide this essential service to a successful buying and selling experience.”

Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, in a news release said, “Redfin understands this concern, as we employ thousands of licensed professionals and believe the vast majority of homebuyers need professional advice, and will happily pay for it.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (May 17, 2019) After nearly four decades of serving hot pizza and cold beer in a family-friendly, resort-themed environment, the Dough Roller is expanding its reach beyond the island with a new location in West Ocean City, at 12849 Ocean Gateway.

Bill Gibbs launched the first Dough Roller in 1980 after purchasing the Breakers Hotel at Third Street on the Boardwalk the year prior and repurposing the lodging establishment’s front porch to provide Italian cuisine by the seaside.

All three of Gibbs’ sons help run the family business. Jeff Gibbs manages the Third Street location and Gary helps run the 41st Street and 70th Street restaurants. Kevin Gibbs manages the South Division Street spot.

The fifth location opened last Wednesday with a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Right now, this is our only location off the island,” said Heather Lowe, Dough Roller’s marketing manager.

Despite past Dough Roller expansions failing to subsist, most recently at the site of the current Hooters at 12513

Celebrating the grand opening of the newest Dough Roller location in West Ocean City last week, from left, are Kevin Gibbs, General Manager Keith Melvin and restaurant founder Bill Gibbs.

Ocean Gateway, Lowe said the latest spot offers a larger footprint in the heart of West Ocean City.

“What does set this location apart is it is our first location with a separate bar atmosphere,” she said.

Lowe said patrons can grab a brew, glass of wine or mixed drink at the Dough Boy’s Bar, which was modified to a width of 32-inches to accommodate pizzas.

“We’re widening the customer base a little bit,” she said.

Lowe said the restaurant will be in operation year-round and features a wealth of televisions for sports enthusiasts and décor details long familiar to Dough Roller patrons, including a bar mural, iconic carousel horses, lunch boxes and wooden booths.

Although the Dough Roller on South Division Street in Ocean City has a small bar with barely a handful of seats, Lowe said the West Ocean City location is the first spot with an actual bartender.

“They never wanted to expand into the bar environment because we wanted to still be able to cater to that homestyle family environment,” she said.

Taking the helm at Dough Boy’s Bar is a long-familiar face in the resort, Greg Grim, formerly of Harborside Bar & Grill.

“The orange man has come here,” she said.

Dough Roller’s adult beverage venture was designed with the bar separated from the main dining areas to maintain a child-friendly setting, Lowe said.

Catering not only to adult drink options, Lowe said the newest Dough Roller will also serve up cuisine for fullydeveloped palates.

“There are some foodie style items on this menu that are different that our typical Dough Roller,” she said.

In addition to a full breakfast menu, including over a dozen varieties of buttermilk pancakes, Lowe said the just-

launched Dough Roller will have select offerings, featuring entrees such as pesto and parmesan-crusted salmon and unique appetizers such as shrimp and grits.

Samantha Mairano is the executive chef of the new restaurant.

“We will be developing new menu items exclusive to West Ocean City throughout the summer … and doing daily specials,” she said.

Lowe said plans are underway to celebrate the iconic family-owned Ocean City restaurant chain’s 40 anniversary next year with announcements forthcoming as events materialize.

“This is an exciting time for Dough Roller,” Keith Melvin, GM of Dough Roller, West Ocean City, stated in a press release. “While we have been in business for nearly 40 years, we continue to grow and offer an inviting space for family traditions and memories at the beach in Ocean City.”

Davis new OPA director of marketing, public relations (May 17, 2019) The Ocean Pines Association has announced that Josh Davis has been hired as its new director of marketing and public relations.

Davis will fill the role currently held

by Denise Sawyer, whose last day with the Association will be Friday, May 17.

“Josh will be an invaluable addition to the Ocean Pines Association,” said interim General Manager John Viola.

“His wealth of knowledge about the organization and his integrity as a journalist will be vital as we work to enhance our communication with the membership.”

Davis, who has worked for the Ocean City Today and Bayside Gazette newspapers for the past five years, most recently serving as the news editor, has close to two decades of experience writing, reporting and editing with local and national publications.

He is the author of three novels, including “Vanishing is the Last Art.” “I’m excited to join the Ocean Pines team, which I think is the strongest they’ve had in years,” Davis said. “My top priority is providing a new layer of transparency for the membership.”

During his time with Ocean City Today and Bayside Gazette, Davis was the only reporter in Worcester County to be recognized five times by the Maryland, Delaware, D.C. Press Association for excellence in journalism. He received awards for investigate reporting, feature writing and photography.

“I’ve spent my career learning how to communicate effectively with people and I hope to continue doing that, and doing it well, in this new role,” Davis said. “My goal is to provide the membership with timely and accurate information, from how and why board members voted during the last regular meeting, to what the specials are next weekend at the Yacht Club.”

In his position with Ocean Pines, Davis will oversee and coordinate the Association’s internal and external communications systems, procedures and activities. He will be responsible for the dissemination of information to property owners, visitors and the media, including advertisement and promotion of the Association’s public amenities.

Sawyer enjoyed her time with the Association and said she grew personally and professionally.

“From greeting local vendors and customers at the ever-growing Ocean Pines Farmers & Artisans Market, spearheading the inaugural National Night Out for the Ocean Pines Police Department, playing a fun game of platform tennis with zero racquet ball talent or understanding, making a splash as a participant of the popular hydrocycle spin class at the Sports Core Pool, to ‘rocking out’ at the Yacht Club as I videotaped the infectious live entertainment experience for our social media audience, I have not only captured #PinesPride but I have lived it,” she said. “Sure, I am moving on to the next chapter in life, but know that the chapter titled ‘The Pines’ is filled with fond memories. Thank you for welcoming me into your community and for allowing me to showcase Ocean Pines on the local, state and national level.”

“Denise has done a great job,” Viola said. “Under her leadership, the Association was featured in Forbes Magazine twice and has been a recipient of several marketing awards. I am sure that I am not alone when I say Ocean Pines appreciates her passion, ingenuity and creativity.”

Ocean City Today May 17, 2019

Page 65

Join effort to rid area of butt litter One of the worst aspects of the smoking habit is the nasty collection of stained cigarette filters left behind in the wake of those who indulge.

Why smokers persist in believing that cigarette butts and filters will somehow be absorbed and reckoned with by nature with no harm done, while also being ignored by nonsmokers, is mystery, the only solution to which is that many smokers just don’t have a clue.

The fact is, cigarette filters are made of plastic — cellulose acetate, to be precise — which don’t easily decompose. Most estimates are that it takes anywhere from two to 10 years for a filter to break down completely, with one study showing that a filter is just 38 percent decomposed after two years.

What this means, obviously, is that a carelessly discarded cigarette butt is going to be around a long time, leaching the toxic chemicals it contains throughout its existence.

This can’t be good for the environment, and it certainly isn’t a pleasant sight for the 80-85 percent of the public that eschew tobacco in all forms.

Even so, Ocean City recognizes that the remaining 15-20 percent of the people who do smoke are going to do it one way or the other, and so is about to place more receptacles in the Boardwalk area as an encouragement to use them instead of flicking butts on the ground.

If smokers followed the military example of field-stripping cigarettes before disposal and holding onto the filters to be deposited properly later, these receptacles wouldn’t be needed. But that is not the case.

Ocean City government’s Green Team recognizes that, as does the Coastal Bays Program. Together they are seeking business support for their effort to place receptacles where they are needed, so the burnt leftovers can be recycled and the streets and sidewalks be made to look more inviting.

We encourage businesses to join this initiative, just as we also urge smokers to be more respectful of those who’d just as soon see them vanish … in a puff of smoke.

PUBLIC EYE

Crazy Eddie continues

Not to carry on too much about the curiosities of the canine world, such as why they tend to demonstrate their happy ignorance of the social graces at the most inopportune moments, it nevertheless happens that my dog, Crazy Eddie, warrants another mention.

As I said just recently, his By well-being is well, being that Stewart he’s allowed to pursue his Dobson own agenda, give or take a gentle reminder not to hog the TV remote, which, given a lack of thumbs, makes his channel surfing difficult to follow.

I don’t care how smart any dog might be, it’s not like you can say, “Hey, Buster, it’s time for ‘Chicago PD’” and expect positive results.

Besides, dogs can’t read, have a vocabulary limited to — “No,” “Okay” “Sit,” “Hungry?” and “Squirrel!”— and are poor at math.

If you asked a dog to count, it knows only what it sees, which adds up to one. You can show a dog 45 dog biscuits in two outstretched hands and it still counts as one, because the next number to a dog is “more.”

The same thing applies to dogs’ concept of time. As others have observed, the only time a dog knows is “now,” excluding, of course, when it watches you walk out the door and either gives you that look, or starts barking, which translates to, “Aghhhhhhh! I’ve been abandoned! They’re never coming back!”

If you don’t believe that a dog knows only “now” or “never,” wave a bag of French fries under its nose and say “later.” Then remove your hand from its mouth, which has swallowed the hand that feeds it up to the third

knuckle.

This doesn’t mean, however, that a dog is incapable of patience when the circumstances require it. Which brings me back to Crazy Eddie, a hunting dog of such ability that rodents everywhere would scare their kids into behaving with “Eddie’s Going to Get You” stories, that is if he hadn’t already gotten mom and dad on their way to the honeymoon suite.

Just the other day — and this is not a lie — we timed him as he sat by the can of bird seed that sits on the side of the house and which, naturally, will occasionally attract a wayward little vermin that sees spillage and thinks, “free lunch.”

I say “wayward,” because any resident rodent would know this is the Corner of Doom, where many a vagrant voyager of the mouse persuasion has been dispatched by the Ed the Dreaded Destroyer.

On this one occasion, he apparently sniffed out an interloper in birdseed valley, determined its location was beyond his reach, and sat there. And sat there. And sat some more.

Altogether, he sat staring at one spot behind a collection of rakes and shovels for two hours and 10 minutes. I kid you not.

He might have shifted position once, and only then probably because sitting in a pile of sunflower seeds can, when you’re not wearing pants, as he is apt not to do, can lead to certain discomforts.

Unable to take it anymore, we went out to dislodge the visitor from its perch, at which time it went like this: pounce, pounce, the end. “Now, what’s for breakfast?”

We tried to explain that he had missed breakfast by at least an hour, but he wasn’t having it. He whined, he barked, he danced and insisted, “That was then, this is now.”

Letters Thoughts on resort’s Parking Taskforce Editor, A stated goal of the Ocean City Parking Taskforce is to use increased parking revenue to make sure daytrippers pay their fair share of the cost for beach cleaning, maintaining the Boardwalk and infrastructure and other amenities that make Ocean City a desirable destination.

According to Dan Kupferman, the parking consultant hired by Ocean City Engineer Terry McGean, “Ocean City is not going to become a ghost town because of paid parking” and that people have expectations to pay for parking.

He makes a valid point regarding parking, but fails to recognize that visitors look at their total cost to vacation to in Ocean City. Their additional total costs could include not only paying more for parking, but also paying more from the pending increase in the room tax.

Our elected officials are attempting to pass a bill that will raise the

to the editor

room tax rate of 4.5 to 5 percent. According to a report provided to our elected officials, this added .5 percent expense will be passed on to visitors.

The aggregate costs over time of the many small fees and tax increases may not make Ocean City a ghost town, but it can be a deciding factor in whether to go to Disney or visit Ocean City.

In regard to Mr. Kupferman’s opinion that people have expectations to pay for parking, I recently visited Daytona Beach during its bike week. I was struck by the amount of free parking and free beach access in Daytona Beach and surrounding communities.

For example, SRA1A, the main highway, is their Coastal Highway.

Free parking was generally permitted along both sides of A1A. In addition, many bike trailers were also parked on A1A without incurring any fee or permit requirements. Also, all along A1A there were parks like the Andy Romano Park (www.daytonabeach.com/listings/an dy-romano-beachfront-park/1122) where people could pull off A1A, park for free next to the beach, have access to free restrooms and showers and

walk to the beach.

In speaking with residents and visitors during bike week, I got the impression that everyone recognized the town were not out to squeeze every last tax dollar from their visitors.

There is no doubt that parking fees will be increased even though Mayor Rick Meehan told us that he will not support any additional paid parking areas. Politicians find clever ways of repudiating their campaign positions.

For example, new Council Member Mark Paddack, who ran against any property tax increase, now has been “educated” about the City’s financial problems and voted to increase the property tax rate to bring in an extra $638,000.

Then we have Council Member Dennis Dare, who, since he was City Manager, wants all streets east of Coastal Highway to be plastered with parking meters from the inlet to the Delaware state line. Unfortunately, the Council believes that revenue shortfall are best resolved by using their unlimited taxing authority to increase parking fees instead of implementing costs cutting measures.

Cruisin’ participants welcomed, cautioned Continued from Page 1 Events Task Force in December 2017, however, has led to businesses this year committing additional personnel and security on their premises, while police are working on known “problem areas.”

Mayor Rick Meehan said the chamber of commerce and hotel-motel-restaurant association have pledged to help provide accommodations for additional police at no cost to the town.

Additionally, Meehan said a trailer ordinance is now in effect. From May 1 to Oct. 31, trailers and oversized vehicles are banned from parking on public streets. Police Chief Ross Buzzuro added state police were committing “somewhat more” resources for Cruisin’ than they did a year ago.

“All in all, the task force has worked to try to the put the things in place that are necessary,” Meehan said. “The event operator is holding the event out at the racetrack on Friday night to try to disperse some of the crowds. He also has events scheduled both Fridays and Saturdays at the U.S. 13 Dragway [in Delmar].

“We’re actually hoping that some of those that possibly came to town previously that weren’t part of the event but just wanted to … express themselves, will do so and not even come into town,” Meehan continued. “Those are all [good] things.

“We didn’t get a true read on [the event] last year, I think, because of the weather. I wouldn’t be upset if the weather is the same this year,” he added.

Meehan said many different agencies had come together to try and improve this and other motor events in the town, which he admitted are “under the gun.”

To people attending the event, Meehan offered, “We welcome you to Ocean City. We want you to come to Ocean City, but you have to obey our laws – and that means all of our laws.”

“That will make the event a safer event, a better event, and allow it to continue,” he said.

Last year, Meehan said he received a number of emails from people who were angered by increased rules and enforcement, and threatened to not come back “because we’re not allowing you to break the law.”

“Good luck,” Meehan said. “Treat them with kindness, but, in fact, if their complaint is we’re requiring them to obey the law, then so be it.

With this and other events ramping up into the busy season, Buzzuro also gave an update on increases to the department’s seasonal workforce, which will include an additional 62 seasonal police officers and 82 public safety aides. Police have lost four people since

Thank You!

the initial hiring, he added.

“Right now we’re just about at full strength, at 144 [extra workers] going into the season,” Buzzuro said.

He said returning public safety aides would start Memorial Day weekend and returning seasonal officers would start May 19. New public safety aides start May 30 and new seasonal officers start June 3. Buzzuro said 17 seasonal police officers were returning, while 45 are new.

Meehan noted the Special Event Zone went into effect on Tuesday, meaning lower speed limits and higher rates of fines. He said warning signs had been in place since last week and lower speed limits on Coastal Highway would be changed on signs Tuesday morning.

Also during the meeting, City Council President Lloyd Martin asked about police enforcement on the Boardwalk, noting Councilman Tony DeLuca’s preference of enforcing no-smoking laws.

Councilwoman Mary Knight added she’s recently seen many people not cleaning up after their dogs in the beach and Boardwalk area. In Ocean City, animals are only allowed on the beach and Boardwalk between Oct. 1 and April 30.

“This one man, I almost said something to him this weekend … but he was a lot bigger than me,” Knight said with

a laugh. “That’s what I’m seeing. The smoking, I am not seeing.”

Meehan encouraged police to engage with the public, even over minor infractions.

“If officers just don’t notice it, or notice it but just keep walking if somebody is smoking or if somebody has a dog … although it’s very minor, it’s a credibility issue,” he said. “In the eyes of the public, it looks like … the officer isn’t paying attention.”

Meehan said the interaction could be as simple as police telling someone what the rules are on smoking, or cleaning up after a pet.

“If people see that, they think it’s an avoidance by our officers,” he said. “So, I would hope that the word goes down that, it can be politely handled. It doesn’t have to be an arrestable offense – it doesn’t even have to be a fine if somebody is truly unaware [of the law].

“But, at the same time, just the acknowledgment, just the fact that the officer walked over … makes all the difference in the world.”

Buzzuro said that was absolutely the direction he is giving to police.

“That’s what I thought,” Meehan said. “I just want to make sure that everybody realized that that is the intent of our officers. And if that can be emphasized … it really makes a difference.”

Wrongful death lawsuit names Ocean City Continued from Page 1 east at the 76th Street intersection at about 11:30 p.m. when Price, part of the additional police contingent in town to help control Cruisin’ fans and participants, ran into him as he headed north in a 2016 Ford Explorer.

The accounts of the accident, however, diverge on the circumstances leading up to the moment of impact.

A news release issued by police that week said Lawlor stepped into the path of the oncoming car in the middle lane of the highway, and that Price tried but failed to avoid the collision.

The lawsuit contends that Price was traveling at least 62 mph, or 22 mph over the speed limit, and did not see Lawlor in the road because he was looking down inside his vehicle as he approached the intersection.

The plaintiffs also assert that the car’s emergency flashers and siren were not activated even though Price was speeding to assist another officer, and that Lawlor did not walk into the car’s path,

Speed limit drops as Special Event Zones instituted Stiffer fines and penalties await reckless motorists (May 17, 2019) Coastal Highway and Philadelphia Avenue will be designated as Special Event Zones during the Cruisin’ Ocean City event through Sunday.

Speeds will be reduced in the zones and violators will face increased fines.

Thousands of car enthusiasts are expected in Ocean City for the 29th annual Cruisin’ Ocean City event and citizens should expect to see a large police presence.

Officers from allied agencies will be assisting the Ocean City Police Department, including the Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police.

Officers will be strictly enforcing all laws regarding traffic and spectator behavior.

but that Price swerved and hit him.

In addition to filing a wrongful death claim, the Lawlors argue that multiple instances of negligence contributed to the death of the husband and father.

These include allegations that the Town of Ocean City knew the Cruisin’ event was dangerous, but allowed it to proceed in spite of that.

To make that point, the lawsuit quoted City Councilman Dennis Dare, who said of the May Cruisin’ event that year, “Last spring, the event was unacceptable. The lawlessness and carnage was unacceptable.”

It also cited the conclusions of an Ocean City Police Commission “motor event racing matrix” that rated Cruisin’ and the unsanctioned car rally known as H2Oi as the worst for behavior of spectators, level of law enforcement required, desired demographics and pedestrian endangerment.

Although the Ocean City mayor and council began working on plans that summer to rein in vehicular recklessness and unruly behavior by streetside provocateurs, the especially bad tuner car

mayhem that occurred in September, a week before Lawlor was killed, injected the effort with a greater sense of urgency.

Even though the H2Oi rally in this area had been cancelled after it lost its venue outside the resort, thousands of enthusiasts descended on Ocean City in protest and wreaked havoc on the streets.

In an Oct. 13 closed session, the City Council agreed on a plan that included the establishment of a special event zone and the possibility of ending the resort’s two Cruisin’ events.

When the council revealed that plan publicly in November, the suggestion that future Cruisin’s might be cancelled was shouted down by the audience. The special event zone measure, with enhanced fines and tougher enforcement of traffic laws, was approved by the General Assembly in 2018.

Rennae Lawlor appeared before the mayor and council that October, a year after the death of her husband, to urge officials to do more to protect the public.

WORLD WAR II

Victory parade marked Nationalist’s triumph

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (May 17, 2019) This week 80 years ago, the world witnessed the official celebration of the Nationalist’s victory over Republican Spain and the end of the Spanish Civil War, with a huge parade down Madrid’s “Broadway,” La Gran Vía, from the Calle de Alcalá to the Plaza de España.

The parade had originally been scheduled in April, shortly after El Caudillo announced the end of the war. It was then postponed to May 2, 1939. Finally, May 15 was set as the date. Then Generalísimo Francisco Franco, speaking from the Spanish port of Málaga, hinted that he could not consider the war over, and there came reports from Rome that the parade would take place on May 30. It was said that some of Franco’s monarchist supporters objected to Italian participation. However, it went forward on Friday, May 19, 1939, in a driving rain.

On that day, El Caudillo was driven in an open car, escorted by his loyal mounted Moroccan warriors along La Gran Vía, to the reviewing stand, cheered by the crowd. After he arrived at the reviewing stand, he was presented with the Grand Cross of San Fernando, with Laurels, Spain’s highest military honor.

Then, more than 160,000 selected Nationalist and allied troops, with 3,000 trucks, 1,000 canons and 3,000 machine guns marched in review, together with 700 planes overhead.

First, in the place of honor, came 10,000 soldiers of the Cuerpo Legionario Italiano, led by its commander, Gen, Gastone Gambara. As they passed, tens of thousands of Madrileños cheered them with shouts of, “Viva el Duce!” and “Viva Italia!”

They were followed by the units of the Nationalist’s Ejército Nacional, including among others: the Spanish Foreign Legion; Fuerzas Regulares Indígenas of Morocco; the monarchist Carlists from Navarre, with their red berets; and the fascist Falangists, with

their blue shirts. The Portuguese Legiäo Viriato, contributed by Portuguese dictator António Salazar, also passed in front of El Caudillo.

In the skies above, veteran German pilots of the Legion Kondor, and the Italian pilots of the Aviazione Legionaria, joined with their Spanish compañeros of the Fuerza Aérea Nacional, to form the words “VIVA FRANCO” above the marching troops.

The pilots of the Fuerza Aérea Nacional were led, in that formation, by commander, and ace, Ángel Salas Larrazábal.

Commander Salas would later lead the Escuadrilla Azul against the Soviet Union, as part of the Luftwaffe, under the command of Gen. Baron Dr. Wolfram von Richthofen.

The 5,000-man German contingent, on the ground and bringing up the rear, was led by the baron, who wrote in his diary, “I am driving at the front. The spectators go wild.” The general was a fourth cousin of the famed “Red Baron,” Manfred von Richthofen, of World War I fame.

He planned the air raid on Guernica and would earn the coveted field marshal’s baton in 1943. As a result of his experience in Spain, he was able to hone the Luftwaffe’s ground support tactics to their maximum effectiveness, which the Wehrmacht would demonstrate in Poland, France, Belgium, Holland, Yugoslavia, Greece and the Soviet Union. As the German soldiers passed the wildly cheering Madrileños, they were greeted with, “Viva el Führer!” and “Viva Alemania!”

El Caudillo could see the adulation of the troops while they marched in review, as he watched from a raised platform on the Castellana, renamed “Avenida del Generalissimo,” above which had been constructed a triumphant arch.

Upon the top of the arch was emblazoned, in gold, the word VICTORIA, while FRANCO was emplaced three times on each side. For the occasion, El Caudillo wore the blue shirt of the fascist Falange Party and the red

beret of their enemies, the monarchist Carlist party. For five hours, he watched as the troops marched, and tanks rumbled, past, and the planes roared overhead.

The following day, El Caudillo de España, Generalísimo Francisco Franco attended services at the Cathedral of Santa Barbara, where he prayed that God help him lead his people to, “...full imperial liberty, for Thy glory and that of Thy Church.” Strewn upon the steps at the entrance to the church were 10,000 palms. There, the Generalisimo surrendered his sword to Cardinal Isadoro Goma y Tomás, and gave thanks for his victory, “... over the enemies of truth.”

The Cost The German contribution to the Nationalist’s war effort was channeled, primarily through the Legion Kondor, which is most famous for its aerial component, although it had an armored component as well. The Kriegsmarine also contributed. No more than 10,000 Germans served in Spain at one time.

In all, about 19,000 served, of which 298 died. The Legion lost 232 aircraft. The cost, to the Reich, was half a billion Reichsmarks or $215 million in 1939 dollars. The Legion’s first commander, Hugo Sperrle, and his chief-of-staff and successor, Baron von Richthofen, became Luftwaffe field marshals.

The Italian contribution to the Nationalist’ cause came in the form of, first, Corpo Truppe Volontarie, which was later changed to Cuerpo Legionario Italiano, and Aviazione Legionaria.

There were also contributions from the Regia Marina.

At its height, the Italian contingent numbered about 50,000, with a total of 78,500 serving, of which 6,000 were killed and about 12,000 wounded. The economic cost of $400 million — almost 20 percent of the Italian budget — was so crippling that Italy never really recovered.

The Portuguese Legião Viriato numbered 20,000, of which 8,000

died. It was named for Viriathus, who led the resistance against the Roman occupation of Lusitania, which, more or less, became Portugal.

Spanish deaths totaled more than 500,000, of which many were by execution. The Republicans executed, at least, 37,843, of which 7,000 were Catholic clerics. As many as 200,000 were executed by the Franco government. As late as 1940, there were still 280,000 Spaniards imprisoned by the Franco government. Knowing what awaited them at the hands of the Nationalists, 500,000 Republican supporters fled the country as the end came.

On Oct. 17, 2008, Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón, in a 68-page opinion, granted a petition to open 19 mass graves, thought to contain thousands of bodies of the victims of Nationalists’ executions. As of that date, according to the judge’s investigation, 114,266 victims have been identified.

Judge Garzón, it may be remembered, issued an arrest warrant for the former Chilean dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet, charging him with “Crimes Against Humanity,” and opened investigations into the conduct of several Bush Administration officials — “The Bush Six” — for their part in sanctioning and/or authorizing the torture of prisoners. The later investigation was assigned to another magistrate, who declined to pursue it.

El Caudillo, Generalísimo Francisco Franco, had said at the beginning of the war, “I will save Spain from Marxism at any price.” When asked, “Even if it means killing half of Spain?,” Franco replied, “I repeat, at any price.” The price had been nearly that.

They are so passionate. They never stop fighting,” Decatur Coach Sara Braniecki said. “They were fighting really hard the whole time. Unfortunately, we got down 3-0 early then we went on a three-goal run. They realized they could do it and knew they were better than that team.”

The 3A East Section I third-seeded Vikings led the Seahawks, the top seed in Section II, 5-3 at halftime.

During the break, Braniecki said the discussion consisted of changes they planned to make for the second half.

“We’re at the point in our season where we’re a dynamic enough team and the girls are disciplined enough [to be able to make changes]. The changes we made worked,” she said.

The Seahawks went into a higherpressure defense to increase their opportunity of taking the ball from the Vikings in the second half.

“The girl were definitely concerned going into it, but it worked,” Braniecki said. “They took the ball away and it gave us the opportunity to have possession and to be able to score. They went in, they did it, and they did it hard enough that it was productive.”

Mt. Hebron went up 9-5 with about seven minutes on the clock.

Then Decatur went on its run.

“Mt. Hebron kept changing things up on us … like from their defensive end that affected our attack,” Braniecki said. “We just kept sorting it out and changing what we were doing to react. They reacted well and made changes to be productive.”

Junior Sarah Engle scored with 6:45 on the clock, and netted another about a minute later. She assisted junior Alyssa Romano’s goal a minute after that. Within two minutes, the Seahawks had cut their opponent’s advantage to one goal.

Freshman Darby Moore evened the score, 9-9, with 2:49 remaining in the game.

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

The Stephen Decatur girls’ lacrosse team came from behind to win the 3A East Region championship title, 10-9, over Mt. Hebron, Wednesday in Berlin.

After a Mt. Hebron turnover, Decatur gained possession and headed up the field. Romano saw junior Elizabeth Dutton cutting to goal. She passed her the ball and Dutton scored with 1:15 left to play.

The Seahawks kept control of the ball and held on for the victory.

“It was super exciting,” Braniecki said. “When I was in high school we played Mt. Hebron in the state championship and lost 16-0. I haven’t seen them in a game since, so that felt pretty good.”

Engle led Decatur with four goals and two assists. Dutton scored three goals, and Moore, Romano and junior Abby Yesko netted one each.

Junior goalie Isy Kristick recorded five saves.

It was the lacrosse team’s fifth regional title in the last six years, seventh this decade, and the ninth in the last 14 seasons.

Decatur advanced to the regional finals with an 11-6 victory over the Chesapeake Cougars of Anne Arundel on Monday in Berlin.

Dutton, Engle (two assists) and Romano scored three goals apiece.

Yesko and senior captain Logan Townsend tallied one goal each.

Kristick stopped eight Chesapeake shots.

A few days earlier, Decatur hosted the James M. Bennett Clippers and won 21-5.

Engle had four goals and one assist in last Friday’s competition. Dutton and sophomore Victoria Mueller netted three shots each.

Moore, Yesko and Romano (one assist) contributed two goals each.

Sophomore Brittyn Leonard had one goal and five assists.

“They’ve been playing great.

They’ve been composed and mature, taking care of the ball much better than earlier in the season,” Braniecki said earlier in the week. “Our defense has been working together much better, which makes a huge difference.

I’m starting to see our younger girls really blossom, which is always a good thing.”

Decatur will face the 3A West Region champs, the Westminster Owls

today, Friday, at 6 p.m. at Mount Hebron High School. Westminster defeated Mt. Hebron, 9-5, in the state championship last year.

“We’re so excited. We need to keep our energy up, stay focused, and keep tightening up things we’ve been working on,” Braniecki said. “Every practice, I’ve seen improvement in different things and I think that’s why these girls are where they are today, winning a region final, because they never stop working hard and getting better, better, better, every day. We’re going to try to play our most cleanest, perfect game on Friday.”

Worcester girls’ lacrosse squad ESIAC champions

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The Worcester Prep girls’ lacrosse team dominated the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game last Friday in Berlin, trouncing the Saints Peter and Paul Sabres, 18-5, to win its seventh consecutive title.

“We played well. It was a fun game because Saints Peter and Paul played hard and they were competitive. They didn’t have the firepower to match us, but they played with heart,” Prep Coach Chris Williams said. “It was not an easy game, even though we won by a lot.”

The Lady Mallards led 12-3 at halftime.

“We’ve been playing at a high level awhile now and we just kept it up. We really put it all together and played a fundamentally sound game,” Williams said. “Our transition was beautiful again. We scored numerous goals on transition.”

The girls also played unselfishly, as many goals were assisted.

“It was a great way to go out,” Williams said. “It was an exhibition of everything we learned and worked on during the season. I couldn’t have scripted it any better. I’m so proud of them.”

Junior captain Carly Hoffman led Worcester with four goals. Senior captain Delaney Abercrombie chipped in with three goals and two assists. Freshman Myranda Beebe contributed with two goals and five

assists.

Senior goalie Clare DeMallie recorded five saves in the first half.

Sophomore CC Lizas stopped four shots in the second half.

“Everyone played. It was a full team effort,” Williams said. “It was a great way to send the seniors off.”

Several Prep players earned AllEastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference honors for their performance during the season.

Hoffman, Abercrombie, Beebe, senior captain Gracie Gardner and juniors Abbi Nechay, Madison VanOrden and Aly Matha received accolades.

Hoffman was also named Player of

the Year. She finished the season with 36 goals and 18 assists.

Nechay led the team with 37 goals and 38 assists. Abercrombie tallied 35 goals and 24 assists.

Worcester ended the season with a 13-4 record. The Mallards accomplished their goal of winning the conference title.

“We played some good lacrosse pretty much the entire season,” Williams said. “We grew and developed as a team. Record-wise, we were successful, but the development the players had, the camaraderie, they had a lot of fun together, it was just a positive season from start to finish.”

Williams was the coach of the

Worcester Prep Middle School program for three seasons before taking over the varsity team this year. He enjoyed his first season as head coach.

“I loved it. I absolutely had the time of my life,” he said. “I’m sad it’s over, but I’m looking forward to next year.”

The team will graduate seven seniors, most of them main contributors.

“We had some great leadership.

We’ll miss the seniors,” he said.

“There will be some big shoes to fill.

We have a big junior class that will be seniors next year and they’ll take the reigns. We’ll be senior-heavy next year.”

Rayne and Drummond Bayside Conf. champs

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The 18 Bayside schools competed in the conference championship meet last Saturday in Cambridge. The Stephen Decatur girls’ team came in seventh place

and the boys’ squad finished in ninth.

“Baysides went about as well as I expected,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “The standouts were our individual champions, London and Margie.”

London Drummond, a sophomore, won the high jump event, with a height of 6 feet 2 inches.

Margie Rayne, a senior, took first place in the shot put, with a throw of 35 feet 1 inch.

“London and Margie were among the top few athletes in their respective events throughout the year, so it is good that they came through with a winning performance last weekend,” Stigler said. “Hopefully, they can continue their success in the remaining meets this year.”

Kent Island won the girls’ competition with 135.5 points. North Caroline was second with 115 points, followed by Cambridge with 94. Decatur scored 33 points to finish in seventh.

The top eighth placers in each event scored points for their team.

Decatur sophomore Jessica Janney placed in three events. She took third in the high jump (4 feet 10 inches), fourth in the triple jump (32 feet 7 inches) and sixth in the long

jump (15 feet 4.5 inches).

In addition to winning the shot put, Rayne also finished in second place in the discus (105 feet 11 inches).

Freshman Zoriah Shockley came in eighth place in the discus event (77 feet 5 inches).

North Caroline won the boys’ competition with 115.25 points.

James M. Bennett finished in second with 104 points and Kent Island took third with 87.5 points.

Decatur scored 26 points, good for ninth place.

Decatur sophomore Samuel Oates came in fifth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.63 seconds) and senior Victor Vick finished in seventh place (17.37 seconds).

“We did have several PRs [personal records] during the meet,” Stigler said. “I was especially pleased with both boys hurdlers – Oates and Vick – who had significant PRs and placed.”

Fischer, juniors Richard Poist and Matt Brown and freshman Tristan Dutton came in seventh in the 3,200-meter relay race (9:09.98).

Decatur athletes will now compete in the two-day 3A East Region meet at Reservoir High School in

Fulton, Maryland. The first day was Wednesday. Day two is Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m.

“I think the competition will be strong, but we do have a few athletes that have the chance to qualify for the state championship meet,” Stigler said. “We need to focus on having our best performance in this meet. If most athletes can PR, I think it would be a successful meet and we will have some good results.

“We definitely have some athletes that have a chance to place high and advance to states, led by our individ-

ual Bayside champions,” he added.

The top-four finishers in each regional event will advance to the state championship, Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25, on the campus of Morgan State University in Baltimore.

Prep tennis players capture singles, doubles ESIAC titles

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The Worcester Prep tennis teams swept the singles and doubles competition during the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship last Saturday at Salisbury University.

Junior Abi Plylar won the singles tournament with an 8-4 victory over Delmarva Christian’s Melanie Williams.

Williams beat Plylar during the regular season, so coaches Cyndee Hudson and Debbie Speier discussed a game play prior to the championship match.

Williams took an early 2-1 lead but, after that, Hudson said Plylar dominated. She used a variety of shots to earn herself the win.

“It was a well-played, high-level tennis match,” Hudson said. “It was an exciting final.”

This is Plylar’s first ESIAC singles title. She bested her teammate, senior captain Maya Natesan, 9-7, in the semifinals to advance to the championship.

“I was thrilled for Abi,” Hudson said.

“This was what she wanted – to be No. 1 on the team and to play for the championship and win.”

It was an all-Worcester doubles final.

Sophomores Waverly Choy and Summer Walker battled teammates, juniors Kennedy Humes and Korina Gjikuria, in the semifinal round.

The sophomores started strong and jumped out to a 5-2 lead, but the juniors battled back.

Humes and Gjikuria tied it up, 7-7, but Choy and Walker prevailed, 9-7, to advance to the final where they met teammates, juniors Mesa Cammack and Saylar McGuiness.

“The sophomores started strong, going up 4-1, and the two-time champs, Mesa and Saylar, knew that they had to buckle down and play good tennis,” Hudson said.

They won 8-5 to become three-time ESIAC doubles champions.

Plylar was named ESIAC Player of the Year for winning the singles tournament. Also receiving All-ESIAC honors were Natesan, Cammack, McGuiness, Walker, Choy and junior Annika Larsen.

Senior captain Dominic Anthony battled Samuel Umidi of Gunston Day, in the singles championship. He won 8-2.

“Dominic really dominated,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “His serve was on, his forehand was powerful and he had a tight topspin. He was able to drive his opponent off the court with his power.”

His victory also earned him the ESIAC Player of the Year title.

“I was pretty confident Dominic would get to the finals, because he’s been playing really good tennis,” Underkoffler said.

The doubles competition consisted of two Worcester teams. Senior captains Graham Hammond and Colin

Miller won 8-3 over sophomore Joe Schwartz and junior Frank Carter.

“It was competitive,” Underkoffler said. “Colin and Graham are tall, so it’s hard to get the ball past them and over them.”

Underkoffler said it was a big accomplishment for Schwartz and Carter to get into the finals. Carter didn’t play in many matches last season and Schwartz was just a team manager in 2018.

“Both drastically improved one year to the next,” Underkoffler said.

Miller earned his fourth doubles title. Each year he’s won it with a different partner.

Mallards who took home All-Conference awards for their tournament performance were Anthony, Miller, Hammond, Carter, Schwartz and sophomore Ryan Brafman.

Both Prep teams went undefeated this season.

The girls finished with a 13-0 record.

“I was really thrilled. I knew we would be strong at one and two singles, but after that, we didn’t know what to expect,” Hudson said. “It was a pleasant surprise.

The rest of the team came along.”

Hudson said the No. 1 singles (Plylar) and doubles (Cammack and McGuiness) players led the team and set the standard.

Hudson and Speier earned their 200th career win since they started coaching the girls’ squad in 2002, last week. This is their final season as they both plan to retire.

The coaches finished with a 200-15 overall record. They helped lead the team to nine undefeated seasons.

“It was a great season. The girls improved throughout, they worked well together and supported each other,” Hudson said. “It was a great way to end the season.”

Hudson has coached players of all skill levels and said she enjoyed helping them achieve their goals. When some of them started it was the first time picking up a racket. Later, many went on to play in college.

The team will only lose Natesan to graduation, so the squad should return talented, varsity-experienced players next year.

The boys’ team finished the season with a 10-0 record.

“It was a good season. They’re a good group of guys,” Underkoffler said. “I saw a lot of improvement. This team was probably one of the strongest in the last few years.”

Eleven players will graduate – five of them starters – so nine are expected to return next season.

Nearly all of the seniors were on the team since they were freshmen.

Underkoffler said the four-year players made a drastic amount of improvement each season and he saw growth from the underclassmen and those newer to the team.

Worcester Prep pairs of senior captains Graham Hammond, left, and Colin Miller, and juniors Saylar McGuiness, left, and Mesa Cammack, took home ESIAC doubles titles.

Anthony and senior captain Will Todd, who competed in the second singles spot, set the standard the last four seasons, Underkoffler said. Two talented players in the lineup was a luxury

to have, he added.

“We’ll lose our No. 1, 2, 3 singles and No. 1 doubles. That’s a big hit,” Underkoffler said. “We have a lot of depth though.”

Seahawks fight until end, but come up one goal short

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse team fought to make a comeback last Friday after an early fourgoal deficit, but the Seahawks fell one short of advancing to the next round of the regional tournament.

“It was another one where we were a second-half team,” Decatur Coach “Hoffy” Hoffman said. “The first half, we didn’t execute our game plan.”

The Chesapeake Cougars, seeded third in the 3A East Region Section II, netted four goals in the first quarter and held Decatur scoreless in Berlin. At halftime, Chesapeake led second-seeded Decatur, 5-2.

“We reinforced during halftime what we needed to do,” Hoffman said. “The second half was better. They got pumped up and we started making a comeback.”

After three quarters, Chesapeake held a 10-6 advantage.

The Seahawks started to chip away at the lead in the fourth quarter and got to within one, 11-10, but were unable to pull

ahead.

“We got off to a slow start. All season we’ve been a second-half team,” Hoffman said. “We scored eight goals [out of 10] in the second half.”

Their fight in the second half “showed tenacity, heart and a never-quit attitude,” Hoffman said.

Senior captain Eric Gwin led Decatur with four goals and one assist. Senior captain Chase Porter scored three goals and had four assists.

Freshman Austin Airey tallied one goal and two assists. Senior Jack Remmell and sophomore Tiernan Weinstein netted one shot each.

Junior goalie Tony Scafone stopped five Chesapeake shots.

Decatur finished the season with an 11-4 record. Hoffman thought the season, his first as head coach, went well.

They boys responded well to the coaching staff changes, different plays added and a new system.

“They had a lot thrown at them. They drastically improved,” Hoffman said. “We See HOFFMAN Page 77

Gentry finished the season with a save percentage of 61 percent. His goals against per game average was 5.53 percent.

Moeser said his first season as head coach of the team was a learning experience, but he enjoyed his time on the field and with the players.

“It was a good time. It was a lot of fun and the kids were great,” he said.

Even though the season just ended, Moeser said he is looking forward to next year.

The team will graduate seven players, six of whom were starters and big contributors.

“We’re losing two of our three starting attack and two of our top-six midfielders, so we’ll have some holes to fill,” Moeser said. “Most of our defense will be returning, so we’ll be strong there.”

Senior captain Alec Dembeck scored two goals and had one assist. Sophomore Graham McColgan tallied two goals.

Sophomores John Arrington and Brugh Moore had one goal and one assist each, and senior Jay Gosnear netted one shot.

Sophomore goalie Hunter Gentry stopped 12 Caverton shots.

The Mallards finished the season with a 10-5 record. “[That’s] a decent record, but we struggled with inconsistency the entire year,” Moeser said. “We had some big wins against quality teams and had a couple bad losses.”

The team participates in both the Metro Independent Lacrosse League and Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference. The Mallards captured the ESIAC championship on April 27.

All-ESIAC awards were presented to Dembeck, McColgan, Gentry, senior captains Cole Berry and Cooper Richins, and freshman Brice Richins.

Gentry was also named ESIAC Player of the Year.

Dembeck led the team this season with 30 goals and 27 assists. McColgan scored 26 goals and had six assists. Arrington recorded 21 goals and 12 assists.

Hoffman said the team started to peak at the end of the season and the depth of the group increased.

“Their lax IQ jumped leaps and bounds,” he said.

Hoffman fully enjoyed his first season at the helm. The players were like little brothers to him, he said, and they all developed a bond.

“Everyone was focused on the same goal: to have a successful season,” Hoffman said.

The team will graduate 12 players, about half of them starters, but most main contributors.

Porter led the team this season with 38 goals and 21 assists. Gwin was second with 33 goals and 25 assists.

“We’ll have some big shoes to fill, but there’s guys waiting in the wings to fill those spots and I’m confident they can,” he said. “I’m sad to see the seniors go, but I’m excited for the future.”

Hoffman said the team would have talented athletes returning, as well as solid JV players and incoming freshman joining the mix.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The Worcester Prep boys’ lacrosse team fought back from a three-goal deficit at halftime and pulled to within one of the Calverton Cougars last Friday, but the Mallards ran out of time and lost the Metro Independent Lacrosse League championship game, 87, at Washington College in Chestertown.

“It was a great game. Both teams played well,” Prep Coach John Moeser said. “It was a great atmosphere, big crowd, we played under the lights. It was just a fun game to participate in.”

The game was tied, 2-2, at the end of the first quarter. Calverton outscored Worcester 4-1 in the second quarter to lead 6-3 at halftime.

“Their goalie was great in the first half. We had twice as many shots as Calverton and he made some good saves,” Moeser said. “There was also a stretch in the game where we had some turnovers and didn’t do some things.”

The Mallards scored three in the third quarter, while the Cougars netted two shots. With one quarter to play, Calverton was ahead, 8-6.

“We dug deep and started to play well. We got to within one goal – we had lots of opportunities at the end – but we just ran out of time,” Moeser said.

Seahawks practiced hard and exceeded expectations

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 17, 2019) The Stephen Decatur baseball team battled from behind and pulled ahead in the bottom of the sixth inning on Tuesday in Berlin, but the James M. Bennett Clippers took advantage of the Seahawks’ miscues in the top of the seventh and won the game, 8-6.

“We’ve asked them to play defense all year and they’ve done a really good job playing defense,” Decatur Coach Rich Ferro said. “When it’s normally really good and we don’t hit that well, we still stay in games because we play defense, but today our defense kind of let us down. We pitched pretty well like usual, but our defense kind of wasn’t there and [Bennett] got some timely hits. We didn’t execute properly like we have.”

Bennett, the second seed in the 3A East Region Section II bracket, put three runs on the board in the first inning.

Top-seeded Decatur tallied two in the bottom of the inning.

Both teams scored twice in the third and at the end of the inning, the Clippers led 5-4.

The Seahawks rallied with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to gain a 6-5 advantage.

Bennett capitalized on Decatur mistakes in the top of the seventh and added three runs to take an 8-6 lead. The Clip-

pers held the home team in the bottom of the inning to secure the victory.

“We had bases loaded a few times.

Like all year, we just haven’t gotten that timely hit or maybe a passed ball to give us an extra run,” Ferro said. “We just didn’t get a couple when we needed them.”

Senior Ridge Watson had two of Decatur’s seven hits.

Sophomore Evan Truitt and junior Blake Marshall each had one hit and one RBI. Seniors Brett Berquist and Dawson Delaney, and junior Noah Ager had one hit apiece.

Senior Jack Rosenberg threw two innings. He struck out four, walked three and allowed three hits.

Truitt took the mound for four and one-third innings. He struck out five and gave up two hits.

Junior Hunter Selzer struck out two in two-thirds of an inning.

Decatur received a first-round bye in the regional tournament and then edged out the fourth-seeded Northeast Eagles of Anne Arundel, 5-3, last Saturday in Berlin.

The Seahawks scored two in the first and one in the second for a 3-0 lead. The Eagles answered with one in the fourth and two in the fifth.

Decatur drove in two in the bottom of the sixth and held on for the win.

Berquist, Marshall and senior Alex Gaddis had two hits apiece. Freshman

Stephen Decatur sophomore Evan Truitt battles on the mound during Tuesday’s 3A East Region playoff game against James M. Bennett in Berlin. Bennett won, 8-6.

Ashten Snelsire chipped in with one hit and two RBIs. Senior Hayden Snelsire also had one hit and two RBIs. On the mound, Snelsire struck out 10, walked two and allowed eight hits in six innings.

Rosenberg struck out one and walked one in the final inning.

Decatur finished the season with a 146 record.

“It was great. It was surprising, honestly,” Ferro said. “There was a lot of guys that were inexperienced at the varsity level and they played pretty well. We won a lot of baseball games and we beat some teams that probably didn’t expect for us to beat them.”

Ferro was proud of his players’ per-

formance on and off the field.

“They played really well all year. They practiced hard, they’re good kids, they’re smart kids. They gave back to the community, going to the elementary schools and reading children books, [so] you can’t ask for anything more,” he said. “They exceeded expectations. They’re good ballplayers the way they competed and held us in every game, and it was great to have young kids helping us out. We had a lot of guys not varsity experienced, but they battled and that’s all we ask of them.”

The team will graduate 12 players.

About half of them were starters, so a core group is anticipated to return next season with a year of experience under their belts.
