SCOOTER SHOPS FACE DOUBLE WHAMMY Tighter local regs and state vehicle laws will affect business, as well as recreational drivers STEWART DOBSON ■ Editor (March 30, 2012) The rapid proliferation of generally unregulated scooter rental businesses in Ocean City is headed for a bump in the road, as Ocean City

prepares strict standards governing their operation and state lawmakers last week passed legislation that would make scooters and mopeds regular motor vehicles. At the state level, both houses of the General Assembly have

signed off on a measure that incorporates mopeds and motor scooters under the definition of motor vehicles. Currently, such vehicles powered by 50cc engines or less are treated more or less the same as bicycles. Although the legislation means scooters and mopeds will have to be titled and bear a decal attesting to that fact, an earlier stipulation that these vehicles also

would have to be registered was stricken from the final version. The cost for a private owner will be $5 for the decal and $20 for the title. The title fee for a rental vehicle will be $50 between October 2012, when the law goes into effect, and October 2014. One big change the legislation brings about is that it makes scooters and moped operators subject to Maryland’s helmet

law. As it is now, wearing protective headgear is not mandatory. Protective eyewear is also compulsory if a scooter has no windscreen. Sen. Jim Mathias and Delegate Michael McDermott voted against the bills in their respective houses, while Delegate Norm Conway supported it. That helmet provision makes moot one aspect of the zoning See STRICTER on Page 4

North OC org. looks into wine festival, other uptown events STEWART DOBSON ■ Editor (March 30, 2012) The North Ocean City Business Alliance, having won the support of the City Council two weeks ago, will continue its uptown promotional efforts with a meeting Thursday, April 5, to discuss a pair of possible events on the north end of the resort. A wine festival and a laser tag competition are among the topics on the agenda at the public meeting, to be held at 9 a.m. at the Carousel Resort Hotel on 118th Street. Michael James, one of the alliance’s organizers, said Wednesday that a wine fest uptown looks like a strong possibility for September, as does a laser tag event at Northside Park. “We’re making steady progress … there seems to be a positive reception from the mayor and City Council,” James said. The managing partner of the Carousel, James can testify to that after appearing before See NORTH on Page 3

Stephen Decatur High School’s baseball team drove in a total of 47 runs, and allowed a single run each, during recent games against the Pocomoke Warriors and the Mardela Warriors. During Monday’s battle with Pocomoke, the Seahawks had an impressive third inning, tacking on 18 runs. (Above) Decatur’s Sean Colgan fires a pitch during that match-up in Berlin. Decatur won the match-up 34-1. See full story on Page 36.

(March 30, 2012) The advent of table games such as poker and blackjack at the Casino at Ocean Downs and the other Maryland casinos is becoming more of a possibility following the state Senate’s passage this week of a major overhaul of Maryland’s gambling regulations. In addition to expanding the kinds of permitted gambling, the legislation would up the share of proceeds casino operators could keep from their video lottery terminals, from 33 percent to 40 percent. That 7 percent would be deducted from the current contribution to the Education Trust Fund. The increase in the operator’s share, however, is attached to the bill’s shift of ownership responsibility for the slot machines from the state to casino owners next year. See EXPANSION on Page 3

Council surprises city employees with additional paid day off Council Pres. Hall springs surprise at end of session STEWART DOBSON ■ Editor (March 30, 2012) With a nod to the City Council’s declaration of April 6 as “Random Act of Kindness Day,” Ocean City Council President Jim Hall offered one of his own in advance. “I’ve come up with an idea,” Hall said in the final minutes of Tuesday’s work

session: “consider April 6 as a holiday for town of Ocean City employees. Hall went on to say that the employees have carried municipal government through some difficult times, including going without raises and that the least the council could do is give them a long weekend by making that Friday before the Easter weekend a paid holiday this year. As unexpected as the request might have been, it passed briskly by unanimous vote. Emergency workers who have the duty that day will be given another day off that fits their schedules.

Councilman Brent Ashley suggested “Random Act of Kindness Day” earlier this month. In other business Tuesday, the council looked kindly on the latest iteration of a proposal for a staffed travel show booth to be operated by Spark Productions of Ocean City. Originally, the concept was more of a traveling extravaganza that would have cost the city $180,000, interim Tourism Director Donna Abbott told the council. But after working with the Tourism Advisory Board, the Conventions and Vis-

itors Bureau, Spark and others, that price tag was brought down to $85,000. Nevertheless, Brad Hoffman promised the mayor and council they would still “get the full monty” for its money, including four shows on the road and four free installations at local venues.

North OC alliance schedules meeting for next Thursday Continued from Page 1

Expansion would go to referendum if measure passes Continued from Page 1

As for additional impacts on the Ocean Downs operation, the Department of Legislative Services summary of the bill says it would lift the restrictions against certain types of live entertainment and the “building or operating a conference center, convention center, amusement park, or other specified entertainment facilities” within 10 miles of its location. That aspect of the measure would seem to clear the way for casino owner William Rickman’s desire to build a movie theater and bowling alley on the property. The cross-filed legislation continues to work its way through the House,

where it was scheduled to be heard Thursday by the Ways and Means Committee. If the House of Delegates follows suit, the question of allowing these other forms of gambling in the state’s casinos would go to the voters in the 2012 election. As the legislation is now written, casino operators would keep 90 percent of the proceeds from table games, following the line of thinking that they are not as profitable as slots because of the additional labor involved. Back at the beginning of the year, Delegate Michael McDermott (R-38B) said as much. “The games are labor intensive and

will create additional jobs, however they will also not be as profitable as the slot machines. Therefore, the owner’s percentage will need to be increased to cover the additional cost associated with the games,” he said in January. Another rationale for the expansion of gambling is to allow Maryland’s gambling parlors to compete with Delaware and Pennsylvania casinos, which already have table games. Keeping up with the neighbors, however, could be tough to do. Delaware Gov. Jack Markell and other officials this week announced support for a change to the state’s existing gaming laws to allow online gambling, including permitting placing bets via “Smart” cell phones.

the council March 19 to request the “equitable distribution” of marketing attention and special events spending. At that time, the council professed strong support for the alliance’s goal of injecting new life into the uptown economy, going so far as to offer it $22,000 in seed money to help develop new programs. In the meantime, the group has been talking with Bob Rothermel of TEAM/Special Events Productions about the possibility of staging shows of some kind in the area north of the Route 90 bridge. This would be the third meeting of the alliance, which formed last month as concern grew about the seeming concentration of promotional activity in the resort’s downtown area.

Fire department to start new outreach program in resort (March 30, 2012) The Ocean City Fire Department announced a new community outreach program this week. This program, Home Fire Safety Evaluations, will be conducted as a courtesy to residents and homeowners in the fire department’s response area. Members of the OCFD will begin a systematic door to door campaign asking if residents would like the free fire safety evaluation. Firefighters will look for overloaded outlets, working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, unobstructed exit routes from the residences and good address visibility from the street. “As fire chief in Ocean City, I lead a group of dedicated firefighters and EMS providers who desire to make a difference in the lives of Ocean City residents and those who visit,” Fire Chief Chris Larmore stated. “These home evaluations are one more step we are taking to make our town fire free, and ensure you are safe at home.” A copy of the evaluation will be given to the resident along with suggestions for improvements. A followup appointment may also be requested. Anyone who would like to schedule an appointment is asked to call Capt. Bryon Trimble, program manager, at 410-289-4346, ext. 7426.

Stricter regs will affect scooter, moped business Continued from Page 1

and business regulation changes the City Council on Tuesday agreed to adopt. Concerned with the rapidly escalating number of scooter-related accidents and incidents in Ocean City — 262 in all from 2010 through 2011 — the council voted 52 to accept a host of scooter rental regulations recommended by the Planning Commission. By classifying these operations as a conditional use under the resort’s zoning code, the council will oblige scooter rental outfits to abide by specific criteria if they want to do business in Ocean City. With the helmet issue now settled, the focus of the local measure is on operator training and a proper place to conduct it. Once made part of the code, the new rules stipulate that all scooter rental companies must conduct rider training on an “unobstructed paved surface at least 20 feet wide by 50 feet long.” In addition, the training area could not encroach on parking spaces or take place on public property such as city streets or rights of way. Neither could a rental business keep or display scooters on public property. That could be an issue for storefront operations where there is no real practice area, a circumstance that caused the council to give existing businesses a year to prepare by making the changes effective in 2013. As Planning Director Jesse Houston told the council Tuesday, “The commission thought it would be unfair to require

all these conditions” of existing operators before the start of the season, considering that the hearing process alone would take 45 days. “Timewise, we couldn’t get these conditions through,” he said. The impetus behind the tougher stance by the council and the Planning Commission was the 52-percent increase in scooter traffic incidents in the past year,

“I do think we need to make some changes … but enforce the laws on the books. Everyone wants a safer experience.” COUNCILMAN JOE HALL from 104 in 2010 to 158 in 2011. “That has a lot to do with the recommendations,” Houston said. The catch, however, is that only half of these situations involved a rental scooter. The others were privately owned, a circumstance that caused Councilmen Joe Hall and Brent Ashley, who cast the two dissenting votes, to wonder whether these new regulations would solve the problem. “I don’t think five minutes [of training] on a scooter in a parking lot makes anybody safer,” Hall said. “I do think we need to make some changes … but enforce the laws on the books. Everyone wants a safer experience.”

Added Ashley, “I don’t think you can regulate common sense.” But as both Council President Jim Hall and Mayor Rick Meehan noted, making scooter rentals a conditional use “is a good first step” that gives the city some recourse should any rental company fail to comply. Still, some would have preferred more immediate action. “I’m not very happy,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, who advocated an early implementation of the law. She said the accident statistics provided by the Ocean City Police Department showed that most of the companies were trying to do a better job, while a majority of the rental scooter incidents involved two companies whose owners were “blatantly abusing the town.” While she did not identify them, it would not be the four companies — Continental Cycles, OC Scooters, Fun Cycles and Cycle City — that played a large part in helping the Planning Commission develop its recommendations during hearings in February and March. Although the zoning and business procedures will not be effective for another year for existing rental shops, Pillas encouraged them to do their best to meet the higher standard. All new such enterprises, however, will be subject to the tougher restrictions. As for the training sessions required for all customers, only those with a motorcycle operator’s license would be exempt.

Maryland’s offshore wind energy program attracts two more firms Addition of enXco and Arcadia brings number of interested companies to 10 ALEXANDER PYLES ■ The Daily Record Newswire (March 30, 2012) At least two new energy companies have expressed interest in leasing land off Maryland’s coast for the development of wind turbines to power an offshore wind program. Renewable energy company enXco, a subsidiary of French-owned EDF Energies Nouvelles and Arcadia Offshore LLC of Hoboken, N.J., submitted bids to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Malcolm Woolf, director of the Maryland Energy Administration, said Thursday. The federal agency is responsible for

leasing the land off the coast of Maryland and should release the full list of bidders next week, Woolf said. The addition of enXco and Arcadia brought the total of interested companies to 10. Eight companies submitted bids in January 2011, Woolf said. “We are kind of reassured that the businesses are recognizing this resource and want to come to Maryland and start developing that area,” Woolf said. The Department of the Interior will work with Maryland over the next year to evaluate the bids on their technical and legal merits, Woolf said, before holding an auction, but none of that matters, he added, if legislation sought by Gov. Martin O’Malley does not pass in the General Assembly. HB 441 and SB 237, known as the Offshore Wind Energy Act, have had hearings in House and Senate committees but

have not been voted to the floor of either chamber. O’Malley’s bill would make renewable energy credits available to energy companies and allow those companies to set up wind turbines off the coast. “In order to get turbines spinning, you need … a market. That’s what the legislation would provide,” Woolf said. “Without the legislation and without the market, you’re not going to get the private sector spending.” Ross Tyler, the executive director of the Business Coalition for Maryland Offshore Wind, said the state has an opportunity to be at the forefront of the offshore wind industry. Tyler and representatives from other state advocacy organizations — the NAACP, Maryland League of Conservation Voters, Ocean City Hotel-Motel Restaurant Association, Maryland League

of Women Voters, Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility and Interfaith Power and Light — co-signed a letter written to members of the Senate Finance and House Economic Matters committees urging favorable action on the legislation. “The government, at the federal level, is giving the very clear signal that offshore wind is coming to the United States,” Tyler said. Tyler said that once the industry sets up in Maryland, it would likely keep its base in the state, even as the use of offshore wind turbines increases on the East Coast. He said that would mean jobs for the state, a point echoed by Tom Carlson, Maryland campaign director for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. “This is a major job bill for Maryland,” Carlson said. “This bill will put Maryland companies and workers [in the] forefront.”

Proposed ordinance would allow taller homes in Berlin

BERLIN TOWN COUNCIL BRIEFS NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

(March 30, 2012) The Berlin Town Council discussed the following topics during the Monday, March 27, meeting. Councilman Troy Purnell was absent.

Electric department Director Tim Lawrence said the five buildings at the Cottages of Berlin on Broad Street had been energized with electricity. The next project for the department will be work on the streetlights. Lawrence also said the new restaurant at 199 N. Main St. had been energized with electricity.

Water and sewer rates The council approved a resolution incorporating current and future water and sewer rates into one resolution for years 2012 through 2014. The resolution did not change the rates. It only put them together in one document.

(March 30, 2012) The Berlin Town Council will consider permitting an increased height for some residences. Builder Bob Purcell has a client who wants to build a 35-foot-tall or 40-foottall house on Pitts Street, but the present town regulations limit residential height to 30 feet. Purcell discussed the issue with the Berlin Planning Commission in February and made a formal request in March. He had hoped for a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, but that commission forwarded his request to the Town Council with neither a favorable nor an unfavorable recommendation.

tricts to be 35 feet tall. Planning Commission Chairman Newt Chandler was concerned about the need to preserve the character of the town’s neighborhoods. He and other commission members said it should be considered on a case-by-case basis. One stumbling block is that the town is getting ready for a comprehensive rezoning. Until that is completed, the Planning Commission is “very much unable to move forward,” Planning Director Chuck Ward told the Town Council on Monday.

case-by-case basis based on what is existing in the neighborhoods where someone wants the taller house. Mayor Gee Williams called the ordinance a “bridge measure.” The council would be granting an applicant the opportunity to get a variance of up to 5 feet from the Board of Zoning Appeals. He added that he understood the “abundance of caution” of the Planning Commission. Later, the council decided that the proposed ordinance should state that the Board of Zoning Appeals could consider a “conditional use” rather than a “variance” because it is easier to obtain. The Board of Zoning Appeals may grant variances if a hardship exists, but such a hardship may not be self-imposed. Purcell would not have a hardship because his client has the option to follow the law. Councilwoman Paula Lynch suggested another change to the proposed ordinance. It stated that the applicant must provide certifiable documentation that adjacent structures or existing structures in the immediate vicinity currently exceed the height regulations. The words “immediate vicinity” were too vague, she said. Ward and town attorney David Gaskill will revise the language in the ordinance before the Town Council considers it again. The first reading of the ordinance will be Monday, April 9. Ordinances must have a second reading before being approved.

Berlin looks to allow events at bed and breakfasts As it stands, B&Bs cannot host parties, other events; public hearing set for April NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 30, 2012) The Berlin Town Council will hold a public hearing April 24 to discuss a proposed change that would allow more activities at bed and breakfast establishments. Under existing regulations, a bed and breakfast is much as the name implies. It is a place to sleep and have breakfast. Serving dinner is against the rules. During a March 14 meeting of the

Berlin Planning Commission, attorney Mark Cropper, representing the owners of the Waystead Inn, asked for a change in the town code to permit such activities as weddings, receptions, birthday parties and other events that are not allowed at the present time. The Berlin Planning Commission gave the request a favorable recommendation. Planning Director Chuck Ward told the Town Council on Monday that if the proposed addition to the ordinance is approved, the Board of Zoning Appeals would consider requested events on a case-by-case basis. The ordinance would give the Board of Zoning Appeals the authority to modify criteria in the existing ordinance “instead of listing out every

conceivable possibility,” Ward said. “It grants the BZA flexibility.” The board could put conditions on its approval based on the site and its surroundings. The ordinance change stipulates that it is for bed and breakfast facilities that are greater than one acre in size. The Waystead Inn, at 15 Harrison Ave., opened in September 2011. The Merry Sherwood Plantation, off Route 113 just outside the Berlin town limits, operated as a bed and breakfast for more than 20 years until closing earlier this month. It was the site of numerous special events such as weddings, receptions, holiday parties and fundraisers. Merry Sherwood will revert to being a private residence.

She envisions trails between Assateague Island and Berlin and other places. “It would be a great opportunity for economic development,” she said. Mayor Gee Williams agreed. He thought it would be, he said, “a perfect example of economic development and environmental stewardship.” He also reminded people that long before

Berlin attracted visitors from Ocean City, it attracted people from Assateague Island. “This is going to be very hot,” Williams said. People interested in the trail system are invited to participate in Take Pride in Berlin Week, April 21-28, by helping to clean a local trail on April 21, in order to have it ready for Trail Mix 2012 on April 29. Trail Mix is a community-wide event for people to walk, bike or run around

Berlin. It will start at Berlin Intermediate School on Franklin Avenue, where registrants will be given maps of walking, running or biking routes. Pre-registration is $5. The fee increases to 47 on the day of the event. Children under age 12 are free and children under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The event will also include a ribboncutting ceremony for the Safe Routes to School project, which was responsible for an improved and longer sidewalk for Berlin Intermediate School.

Coastkeeper Phillips discusses need for clean water in Maryland water, she said, is H.R. 4153, the Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization and Improvement Act, a bill in Congress. Although the bill’s stated goal is to “support efforts to reduce of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and for other purposes,” Phillips said it would “severely limit the EPA’s ability” to work with states on pollutant discharges. It would “severely deplete funding to the EPA” and funding to states and counties would be lost. Funds from the Beaches Act, used to monitor water quality, could be cut. Worcester County monitors water quality at Public Landing near Snow Hill and at Castaway’s RV Resort and Campground in West Ocean City. Because it appears that funds for monitoring would be lost if the bill passes, the “counties could pick up the cost or cut out the program,” Phillips said. There is also good news and “we have much to celebrate,” she said. Among the reasons to celebrate are the coastal bays and the recreation such as fishing and boating that they provide. They also provide many jobs. “Without clean water, jobs would be lost,” Phillips said. “Our waterways in Maryland … they are the economy of Maryland and they need to be protected. They protect jobs in this state,” she said.

(March 30, 2012) With kayakers, canoeists and paddle boarders moving back and forth on Turville Creek as a scenic backdrop, Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips discussed the need for clean water on World Water Day last Thursday. “We’re here to raise awareness of the world population and its need for clean water,” said Phillips, who is also the director of the Assateague Coastal Trust, at the county’s Gum Point Road boat ramp in Taylorville. The need for clean water calls for actions, including the reduction of food wastage, she said. “We should produce more food of better quality that uses less water,” Phillips said. The day was also the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, which she called “the cornerstone of cleaning up America’s waterways.” It is also a cornerstone, she said, of the work of the Waterkeeper Alliance, of which she is a part of as the Assateague Coastkeeper. The Chesapeake Waterkeepers, she said, have used the Clean Water Act to strengthen policies about the oversight of pollutant discharges. Among the current threats to clean

PAGE 16

MARCH 30, 2012

States gaming competition obviously knows no bounds Government’s ever escalating effort to wring more money out of people by expanding gambling opportunities is beginning to make Meyer Lansky look like a Boy Scout. It was Lansky, after all, who observed long after he retired as “the mob’s accountant,” that the feds spent 50 years trying to throw him in jail for doing precisely what the government had since embraced. Deciding the right and wrong of it, Lansky said before he died in 1983, all depends on who gets the money. That kind of thinking is apparent today as Maryland officials try to keep up with Pennsylvania and Delaware as casino gambling destinations. At this moment they are seeking passage of a measure in the General Assembly that would allow table games in Maryland’s slots casinos, while in Delaware, which already has that, is looking at raising the stakes one more notch. Gov. Jack Markell and others have come out in favor of allowing gambling by cell phone, of all things. It’s as if they are saying to the players in Annapolis, “Top that!” Without getting into the debate over the good and bad of gambling, you don’t have to be a Meyer Lansky to see that this oneupmanship is crazy. The mob, at least, had established territories – and a way of enforcing adherence to them— to prevent competitors from eating each other alive. That’s not what’s going on here as the states become caught up in a competition that will eventually produce diminishing returns. In fact, we’d bet anyone that the long-term future of state-sanctioned gambling is not as bright as officials think it is. Then again, making that bet would be illegal.

READERS’ FORUM

Republicans for women’s rights Ediror, There have been several Grapevine comments lately claiming that Republicans want to take away women’s rights. This kind of sophistry is actively encouraged by Democratic politicians, and it’s about the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. For what reason would Republicans (including tens of millions of women) want to do this? Because they’re just mean and want to ruin your fun? Because they believe women should be kept barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen? Because they believe women should be paid less than men? Because they want women to have inferior health care? Really? Democrats really believe this? If it weren’t so scary, it would be funny. Our national debt is almost $16 trillion, and the real unemployment rate is over 15 percent, and this is what the Democrats are talking about? Betty O’Brien Ocean Pines

Concerns about senate bill Editor, A bill making its way through the Maryland State Senate will have a dramatic impact on the environment and way of life for those living in Ocean City. SB 309 by Sen. Katherine A. Klaus-

meier is a bill that intends to raise money for the state by imposing regulations and taxes on scooter and moped owners. While scooters have become popular in Ocean City due to high gas prices, lack of parking and concern for our environment, this law would effectively stop most people from buying or riding scooters. All legislation is intended to be a response to the needs of citizens, but this bill is a response to the state’s need for more money. According to the bill, it intends to gain “potentially significant” revenues from collection of fees, excise taxes, insurance taxes and penalties. The state is failing to consider the significant drop in sales tax on scooter sales or operations costs at the MVA. They never mention the severe effect on the environment when thousands of scooter riders will use their cars on a daily basis instead. The bill also states that there will be “potentially significant” savings to the Department of Health by reducing injuries from scooter accidents; yet, scooter accidents are rare compared to automobile casualties. The bill states that the impact on small business will be “poten-

tially minimal,” but that is surely not the case for Ocean City. When scooters must be tagged and registered, owners will be forced to take up parking spots normally taken by cars. The truth is, if they must fight for parking and wear helmets, scooter riders will just drive their cars, clogging and polluting our roads. If this bill passes, the state will not stop here. The next source of revenue will be registration and taxing of your bicycle or surfboard. At the last reading, there were 32 senators in favor and 13 opposed. We need 45 to oppose it. Please e-mail or call your state senators soon (www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/05sen/html/sene.html) because the impact on your freedom and way of life is “potentially significant.” Danny Robinson Ocean City

Jeez. First it was the flight attendant who went orbital in the cabin of a major passenger plane, advising all those on board that now might be a good time to kiss their rear-ends goodbye. And she wasn’t even that polite about it, ensuring that somewhere within the confines of that company, a Human Resources Specialist was quickly jotting a note, “Ms. X needs a good talking-to.” Now it’s a Jet Blue captain banging around the passenger area like golf ball in a clothes dryer and explaining to everyone within screaming distance, which isn’t that far on a plane, that if they weren’t in line to be called up in the epiphany, they were out of luck. Not to be unkind to people who suffer from some kind of mental instability or chemical imbalance, but’s what’s with this surge in wing nuts anyway? I mean, when you go on a plane, you expect to be soothed into the feeling that, one, the chicken nuggets aren’t really that bad and, two, you will get where you intend to go without incident. Flying, after all, is not like baseball. It doesn’t count in flying if you make it to your destination on the first bounce. In this case, however, whatever the trouble was that caused the captain’s landing gear to jam in front of everyone didn’t show up in his routine inspection. But I will tell you this, when an otherwise normal captain is locked out of his own cockpit for the safety of others and then turns around and tells everyone to start saying the Lord’s Prayer, you might want to think twice about eating the fish. We used to make fun of the fine people of the U.S. Postal Service because now and then it seemed one of them would become, well, confused and somewhat intolerant of others. Besides, who doesn’t want to pick up an Uzi and riddle a whole sheet of 44-cent stamps? Now it appears that postal workers have been cut a break by the airline industry, which, troubled as it is, has found time to give us something else to talk about. In other words, no one “goes postal” anymore. Instead, we’re going airline.

Daytime courses are conducted, thanks to Pastor Alex Ayres, in the worship study hall of the First Presbyterian Church on 13th Street and Philadelphia Avenue in Ocean City. Both locations are staffed by experienced and devoted teachers, instructors and tutors. Educators such as Barbara Beaubien, Dawn Hartley, Adriana Bonsteel, Erin Bonsteel, Angela Paris, Gloria Bizjak and Dominika Plesiak, to name a few, have helped numerous students through the years achieve passing scores in English comprehension and civics. Testing supervisor Chris Bonsteel evaluates exams and points out those who need further instruction and promotes those who reach a certain level of understanding.

Fortunately, there is an affordable program that helps to ease those obstacles which hinder individual advancements. One such program, English as a Second Language, or EASL, allows the participant to gain exposure to the spoken word as well as briefings in civics and American history. This knowledge will help to open doors of opportunity for a more fulfilling life. This course may also lead to naturalization as well as eventually admittance to higher educational institutions. According to Mark Ferraro, director of Worcester County’s EASL program in Snow Hill, this special platform has been offered to the local area residents

Town Council offers support for wine licenses at Berlin businesses Maryland Wine Bar, Baked Dessert Cafe still need OK from Worcester Co. board NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 30, 2012) Maryland wines will be the focus of a new Berlin business, and organic and sustainable wines will be added to the offerings of an existing business in the town. Deborah Everett plans to open Maryland Wine Bar at Berlin at 103 N. Main St., the former studio and gallery of artist Patrick Henry. “It will be a tasting room for Maryland wines,” Everett told the Berlin Town Council on Monday. She hopes wineries will send repre-

sentatives to enlighten the customers about their products, and she may offer cheese plates or other small plates of food to complement the wines. The new business will be a stop on the Harrison Group’s Wilds of Worcester Wine and Ale Trail and she hopes it will become part of the Chesapeake Wine Trail, which includes wineries in St. Michaels, Easton, Vienna, Rising Sun, Whaleyville and other sites on the Eastern Shore. “This [will be] a touristy, fun, affordable shop to visit,” Everett said. Customers may purchase a taste for “a dollar or so,” buy a “flight” of three wines to taste or purchase a bottle of wine to go if the Board of License Commissioners in Snow Hill approves her application for a wine license. Because she must wait for that license, she did not give an opening date for her new business. Hours of operation have not

yet been set. Wines may be offered at the Baked Dessert Cafe on Bay Street behind PNC Bank, pending approval of its wine license application. Robin Tomasello, one of the bakery’s owners, told the council she wants to expand the product line to include organic and sustainable wines. “It will be a different edge to our business,” she said. She compared the intended wine offerings to those at Bishop’s Stock Fine Art, Craft and Wine in Snow Hill. What started out as an art gallery now includes wine among its items. “It sounds like the two businesses will complement each other,” Mayor Gee Williams said. The Town Council will send letters of support to the Board of License Commissioners for both businesses to receive wine licenses.

The council approved the request of Jennifer Dawicki, owner and operator of The Globe, to extend the licensed premises for the sale of alcoholic beverages to a small area in Broad Street from noon to 8 p.m. May 5, for the Jazz and Blues Bash and from 5-9 p.m. May 11 during May Day Play Day. The licensed area will be a small serving area, unlike the larger outside area used for the New Year’s Eve celebration. The area will be closed off with a fence that will be purchased and owned by the town. Dawicki had offered to pay for the $700 fence, but Town Administrator Tony Carson said he wanted the town to own it. “It’ll be something we’ll use over and over again,” Carson said. The town will use the same kind of fence on Jefferson Street for use by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce for its sales of alcohol during the Jazz and Blues Bash.

Resort business owner, McLaughlin, pleads guilty NANCY POWELL ■Staff Writer (March 30, 2012) The Ocean City businessman who held the town’s franchise for taking telescope pictures of beachgoers, plus nearly 50 percent of the resort’s beach stand franchises, pleaded guilty last Thursday to failing to file individual income tax returns in 2009 and to one count of failing to report employment tax withholdings in 2007. “As tax day approaches, this case should serve as a reminder that filing tax returns and paying taxes are legal obligations, not options,� stated U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein, who announced the plea agreement in a press release issued March 22. Patrick McLaughlin, 43, operated several concession businesses in Ocean City, including beach photography enterprises Sunbeach Studios, Ltd., and United Beach Photo, Inc.; Arctic Inventions, Ltd., a fleet of retail ice cream trucks; and 85 N Sunny, a beach equipment rental business. He also held three of the resort’s taxicab medallions. The agents raided his 16th Street office, Telescope Pictures by Sunbeach Studio, on Dec. 8, 2010. Curious onlookers watched as the fleet of large, black sport utility vehicles with tinted windows and out-ofstate license plates pulled up in front of the business and agents wearing bulletproof vests exited. Ocean City Councilman Jim Hall was among those watching as the agents removed computers, books and

boxes from McLaughlin’s business. The IRS investigation revealed McLaughlin did not file corporate tax returns for Sunbeach, Arctic and United Beach Photo for tax years 2003 to 2009, according to the press release issued by Rosenstein’s office. He also did not file his individual federal tax returns for tax years 2005 to 2009. He should have paid federal income tax of $151,114 for those years. After the IRS raid, McLaughlin filed corporate and individual income tax returns for the missing years. In addition to failing to file corporate and individual tax returns,

POLICE BRIEFS Continued from Page 20 One of Shelley’s friends told police that Shelley had gone crazy like he had never seen before. He also said he had told the skateboarders to call police. He had also asked the skateboarders if they had a Bible because he thought his friend was possessed. In his charging document, Gutowksi wrote that he saw three men walking toward him and one was carrying a Bible. Those were the skateboarders Shelley’s friend had asked to call police. The skateboarders said they saw Shelley attack his friends. They also told police that he was snarling and growling and they were very disturbed by his actions. Shelley’s friends told police they had been to two bars that night. One friend said Shelley had just lost control of himself and he was willing to testify against him because Shelley tried to fight with him. The charging document stated Shelley was extremely intoxicated and could not remain seated upright. He was also unable to answer questions. When the secure van arrived to take him to police headquarters, Shelley tried to fight with the officers. Gutowski picked Shelley up by his shoulders while another officer picked him up by his feet. Together they put him in the vehicle and laid him on his left side. Shelley was charged with second degree assault, disorderly conduct and affray.

McLaughlin failed to report and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from the wages of his employees at Sunbeach, United Beach Photo and 85 N Sunny. Because of McLaughin’s failure to pay corporate, individual and employment taxes, the total tax loss to the government is $296,701.46, the press release stated. He faces a maximum sentence of one year incarceration and a $100,000 for failing to file individual income tax returns in 2009 and for failing to report employment tax withholdings. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 5.

Burglary suspects found in Tenn. NANCY POWELL ■Staff Writer (March 30, 2012) Arrest warrants are on file for two suspects in three Worcester County burglaries. An arrest in Tennessee led to the identification of the suspects in the local crimes. The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee contacted the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office on March 22, after its deputies recovered a .38 caliber revolver that had been reported stolen in Worcester County. The revolver was confirmed to be the same handgun that was taken in the Dec. 6 burglary at a residence on Sand Road in Snow Hill. Detectives with the Worcester County

Bureau of Investigation learned that John Docherty, 46, and Jennifer Lee Morris, 35, both of Dover, Del., had been in possession of the gun in Tennessee. Those two individuals were also persons of interest in a burglary at a residence on Bunting Road in Bishopville. The detectives confirmed that Docherty and Morris were still in possession of many of the items that had been reported stolen in that burglary. Items reported stolen in that Bishopville burglary, which occurred Nov. 18, 2011, included several electronic gaming systems, a laptop computer and musical instruments. The detectives reviewed other burglaries that had occurred in the same time See DOCHERTY on Page 23

his year’s 25th Teacher of the Year Banquet will be as much about looking back, as it will be about looking forward,” said Barbara Witherow, coordinator of the Teacher of the Year Program for Worcester County Public Schools. “Where we have been and where we are going define us as a school system, and this year’s silver anniversary promises to celebrate both!” In 1988, the first Worcester County Teacher of the Year, Cecelia Dennis, earned the coveted title, serving one year as the education ambassador for the school system. “Once an ambassador, always an ambassador,” said Superintendent Dr. Jon Andes. “Our former Teachers of the Year continue to support this program, in addition to serving as advocates for chil-

dren and high-quality education. Every year, we bring them back together to say thank you.” In addition to recognizing the former Teachers of the Year, the March 30 banquet, held at the Clarion Hotel in Ocean City, will honor the 14 teachers who hope to earn the top title for 2012. “With tough economic times, tightening operating budgets, education reform, and diminishing resources, educators need a positive ambassador more than ever,” said Andes. “We need to celebrate, lift up, and praise teachers and the teaching profession. Their impact is immeasurable. I still attribute much of my success to my third grade teacher.” Each of Worcester’s candidates — one from each school — was judged by a panel of six educators on a comprehen-

sive portfolio and a 20-minute interview. The person with the highest composite score will be named Worcester County Teacher of the Year during the banquet. Last year, more than 300 teachers, administrators, board of education members, former Teachers of the Year, dignitaries, sponsors, friends and family members were present to hear the naming of the 2011 winner, Jennifer Sills of Snow Hill High School. Sills will be the keynote speaker for tonight’s banquet. The 2012 winner will advance to the state level to compete with 23 other candidates, each representing their Maryland school district. Seven state finalists will be named in August 2012, and the 2012-2013 Maryland Teacher of the Year will be named in October 2012.

frame and determined that Morris and Docherty were also in possession of several of the items stolen during a Feb. 1 burglary at a residence on Greenbriar Swamp Road in Snow Hill. Items stolen there included a gaming system and games, a television and a laptop computer. Upon learning of the involvement of Docherty and Morris in those burglaries in Worcester County, detectives also reviewed additional burglaries that had occurred in the same time frame, and were able to determine that Morris and Docherty were also in possession of several of the items that had been reported stolen in the Greenbriar Swamp Road burglary. Deputies with the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office arrested Docherty for his involvement in the Tennessee crimes. They also held him on a fugitive warrant from Florida. He was being held on bond in excess of $600,000. Morris was not immediately arrested and fled the area immediately after being questioned by law enforcement. The arrest warrants on file in Worcester County charge Docherty and Morris with three counts each of first-degree burglary and theft from $1,000 to $10,000.

CERT training to begin April 5 (March 30, 2012) Citizens can make a difference for their families by enrolling in the Community Emergency Response Team course, planned to begin in April at the Ocean City Public Safety Building on 65th Street. CERT training is designed to help citizens help themselves and their families in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately following a disaster, CERT is a free training course that aims to provide citizens with basic information for preparedness and techniques when dealing with emergencies. Training covers basic skills including CPR/AED, first aid, recognizing natural and manmade hazards in our local communities, disaster preparedness such as emergency plans and disaster supply kits, hazardous material emergencies and basic fire suppression. CERT courses are being offered by the Ocean City Emergency Services Department. The courses are now offered as part of Ocean City University. Citizens who complete a 16-week general studies program through OC University as well as the Citizens Police Academy, can earn a Ph.D by completing the CERT program. Classes will begin Thursday, April 5, at 6:45 p.m. and will take place each Thursday evening for seven weeks, ending on May 17. There will also be one class on Saturday, May 12, at 8:30 a.m. To register or for more information, call Carol Boyles, Ocean City Emergency Services, at 410-723-6616 or e-mail her at cboyles@oceancitymd.gov.

Rt.113 remains top priority for county NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 30, 2012) Recognizing the state’s lack of funding for transportation projects, the Worcester County Commissioners singled out the continued dualization of Route 113 as their top priority again last week. They approved a letter last Tuesday to the Office of Planning and Capital Programming of the Maryland Department of Transportation stating that the completion of that upgrade is the highest priority. They noted it had been almost 60 years since the first section was dualized by the bypass of the town of Berlin. And several years ago, the segment between Pocomoke and Snow Hill was upgraded to four lanes. “Worcester County citizens and travelers from all over the East Coast have navigated perilous stretches of this road for decades,” the letter states. The completion of the upgrade from just north of Route 365, Public Landing Road, to Massey Branch, “is Worcester County’s one and only priority project for inclusion” in the department’s construction plan, the letter states. The commissioners had decided during their March 6 meeting to name Route 113 as their top priority and the letter approved March 20 confirmed that decision. The commissioners only included detailed information about Route 113 because the state Department of Transportation now requires a much more in-depth process for outlining local projects and the selection process. Each prioritized project must include statements summarizing its purpose and details on how it addresses or supports the goals of the state’s transportation plan, a map of the area and information about the project’s cost and funding. Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, had recommended they name Route 113 as the No. 1 priority and send the detailed information needed, but to also send their concerns about Route 589. The letter sent last week mentions Route 589 as a second priority and the Harry Kelley Bridge (Route 50) as third. “Immediate improvements are necessary for Maryland Route 589, which handles large volumes of tourist traffic, is the location of the Ocean Downs Casino, and incidentally serves as the only link to the outside world for residents of the Ocean Pines community,” the letter states. “Additionally, a long term fully funded plan for the eventual replacement of the Harry W. Kelly (sic) Memorial Bridge on US Route 50 is of no less importance. By providing one of the two principal access points into Ocean City, it can easily be characterized as a primary ‘fuel line’ serving the economic engine of Ocean City. However, while these two projects are important, they pale in comparison to the capital project determined by the County Commissioners to be of highest priority: the completion of the upgrading of US Route 113 to a four lane divided highway within Worcester County.” No details were sent about Route 589 or the Harry Kelley Bridge because of the lack of state funding for those projects.

Dog park at Manklin Meadows expected to be complete in May New Ocean Pines facility may be open to resident, non-resident dog owners NANCY POWELL â– Staff Writer

GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENT

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Workers with McDonald and Son of Jessup rebuild the green on the sixth hole of the Ocean Pines Golf Course on Thursday. Each green will be rebuilt to improve the playing conditions of the course. Some greens will be rebuilt between now and June and others will be rebuilt next year. Part of the golf course remains open for play now.

(March 30, 2012) Dogs will soon have a place to run off-leash in Ocean Pines. Construction of the dog park should begin the second week of May and continued for two weeks, Ocean Pines Association board member Ray Unger said last Friday during a meeting of the Dog Park Group, a small group of advocates tasked with organizing the facility’s operation.

Manklin Meadows, off Manklin Creek Road. The group recommended the park require a one-time $25 fee from dog owners, regardless of the number of dogs, and that visitors or weekly renters pay $10 for their canines. Each dog will wear a tag to indicate its owners have paid a fee. The $25 fee gets registered dogs an engraved metal tag. The $10 fee gets those dogs a less expensive tag, valid for 14 days. Usage of the dog park will not be limited to Ocean Pines property owners, residents and renters. Anyone with a dog, properly vaccinated and registered, may use the park. Those details and others on the operation of the park would be posted on a sign See PLANS on Page 27

Plans for proposed Berlin park have stalled Continued from Page 26

at the facility, Unger said. Those details, however, could change. “Ultimately, it’s my responsibility to ensure proper construction and operation,” Ocean Pines General Manager Bob Thompson said Monday. Thompson also said he “would take a strong look at” the group’s list of details about the park’s operations. Unger and group member Jack Levering, chairman of the Dog Park Committee that raised $15,000 for the dog park, hoped to meet with him this week. Levering has additional ideas for the park, which would be divided into two areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. Thompson had planned to have a 6-foot-tall fence around the sec-

tion for large dogs, but Levering wants that reduced to 5 feet. Levering also wants the dog park to have grass. “Sodding would be great,” he said. “It will have plenty of fertilizer,” Unger said. The board of directors voted in July 2011 to commit to building a dog park with 50 percent of the cost to be donated. The expected cost, the board said, was $30,000 — the Ocean Pines Association would contribute a maximum of $15,000 and voluntary contributions would account for the remainder. Another dog park was proposed for the outskirts of Berlin a few months ago. Berlin residents Cate Nellans and Chrissy Ehrhart-

Knight said in December that they wanted a dog park on countyowned property near the Northern Worcester Recreation Complex, just outside town limits. They hoped for a park much less expensive than the one proposed for Ocean Pines, and the duo volunteered to manage the dog park, which would be free to use. They were hoping to form an official planning committee, but plans have since stalled. The Facebook page, Berlin Dog Park, was started Nov. 28, and its last message was posted one month later. Nellans said in an online message Monday that there was no update on the proposed dog park because they had “gotten a bit behind due to other ventures.”

A new dog park at Manklin Meadows in Ocean Pines is expected to be open in May. According to plans created by the Dog Park Group, a small group of advocates tasked with organizing the facility’s operation, dog owners will pay a $25, regardless of the number of dogs, to use the facility. Visitors or weekly renters will pay $10 for their canines. Those details and others, however, may change.

Kufchak named Auxiliary Officer of theYear (March 30, 2012) An auxiliary officer who contributed more than 500 hours in support of public safety with the Ocean City Police Department was named Auxiliary Officer of the Year last week. Shalimar Kufchak, the honoree, is one of 16 people who donated their time to the police department and the resort community. She was presented the award during the police department’s annual Auxiliary Officer of the Year banquet March 22. The title of Auxiliary Office of the Year is awarded to the person who best demonstrates a devotion to duty and public service and whose conduct and contributions exemplify the purpose of the auxiliary unit. Kufchak joined the auxiliary program in 2010 and in 2011, she assisted with many public safety functions, spending most of her time supporting the Services Section by answering phones at the front desk and assisting the property and evidence manager. She also participated in special events such as the Ocean City Police Department’s Annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive and the Play it Safe program. “The Auxiliary Officers are an invaluable asset to our department,” Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said. “The nearly 3,000 hours in which they donated in 2011 not only benefited the men and women of the Ocean City Police Department, but their contribution to public safety impacted the Ocean

Turn owning a home into tax savings LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (March 30, 2012) It’s tax time, and if you own a home, it’s important to use your homeownership to its full advantage to save on your taxes. There’s no right or wrong answer on whether you should use the standard deduction tax method versus the itemized deduction method. But a rule of thumb is, if you add up all of your allowable itemized deductions and they are greater than the standard deduction amount, you would itemize. The two biggest deductions homeowners are able to make are mortgage interest and property taxes. I think it’s safe to say that all homeowners are aware of the mortgage interest deduction. This is one of the main tax savings benefits of owning a home and allows homeowners to deduct the interest paid on their mortgage debt for their primary home. However, a lesser known fact is that homeowners can also deduct the interest paid on home equity loans for the same primary home. Other areas where homeowners can save on their taxes include: ■ Closing costs / Refinancing costs ■ Energy efficient home improvements ■ Medical related expenses ■ Disaster losses (if declared a federal disaster) Homeowners should also remember to save all of their renovation/home improvement receipts throughout the years. Even though you can’t deduct these expenses now (unless they qualify as energy efficient home improvements), the cumulative cost of improvements over time is added to the purchase price of your home to determine what is called the “cost basis” for when you sell your home. And, when it comes time to sell your biggest asset, you’ll be able to cash in on the income tax-free sale of your home, up to $500,000 if married, and up to $250,000 if single. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc., located in Berlin.

WALMART TO OPEN APRIL 11 Chick-fil-A, Chipotle and Mattress Warehouse coming soon LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 30, 2012) After months of anticipation, the new Walmart, located behind the original business on Route 50 in Berlin, will open for business at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 11, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “[Employees] are very excited, and it’s safe to say customers have been counting down the days [until the opening],” said Market Manager Mary Wilson. Construction of the new Walmart began in January 2011, and employees began stocking the store’s shelves on March 5. They were still in the “stocking phase” this week, Wilson said. The existing store, which opened May 19, 1999, will close at 6 p.m. on April 10, she said. The new 185,000-squarefoot Walmart is 83,806 square feet larger than the original and includes a full line of groceries, with meat and dairy products and fresh produce, a bakery, deli area, pharmacy, vision center, digital photo processing lab, a Ticketmaster counter and Walmart Connect Center.

Recently, Walmart has improved its stores, merchandising and customer experience. The enhancements are featured in the company’s newest stores, including the Berlin Walmart. The aisles are wider and the new layout design, with the departments most visited by customers set up close to each other, makes shopping more convenient. “The new store is a onestop shop where customers can get everything they need,” Wilson said. “It’s designed to follow foot traffic so it’s easier to navigate. The high-traffic areas are near each other.” The Berlin Walmart, like all

of the company’s new stores, has energy-efficient technology and environmentally friendly features to reduce energy and water consumption and minimize waste. According to a press release, the store’s skylights harvest daylight and reduce the amount of energy required to light it by up to 75 percent daily. The store’s LED lighting operates 70 percent more efficiently than traditional fluorescent lighting. Wilson said the store will employ more than 300 people and positions are still available. Walmart is committed to giving back to the communities in which it operates.

The luncheon will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin. The chamber currently represents 230 businesses in Berlin and the surrounding area — a growth of 155 percent over the past two years. To continue that growth, the chamber is offering a 20

percent discount for businesses that join during the month of April, and each new member will be entered into a drawing for a “Berlin Basket” full of gifts courtesy of current members. The drawing will be held at the conclusion of the membership drive. “An increase in membership will allow us to offer our members additional programs and more services,” said Olive Mawyer, executive director of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. “For every new member that the chamber has, that’s one additional business that will see your ad in the newsletter, read your

Steve Ruggiere struck out eight and gave up four hits. On offense, Eric Myers led Decatur with two hits. Ruggiere, Dallas Harrington, Teron Tyre and Chase Coursey each had a hit.

Snow Hill forfeited the fifth singles match.

The ball was flying all over the place,” said Decatur Coach Steve Berquist. Lady Seahawks’ Coach Jamie Greenwood said the wind was also a factor for his players, but the girls prevailed in the end.

Last Friday in Mardela Springs, the Seahawks generated just two hits, courtesy of Jessica Iacona and Taylor Black. On the mound, Iacona gave up 11 hits. Three days later in Berlin, Pocomoke scored in the third inning to lead 1-0. In the next inning, Kelsey Snyder got a base hit, stole second and then reached third on a bunt. She scored on a wild pitch to tie the game 1-1. The score remained even into the sixth inning. Pocomoke tacked on four runs to pull ahead 5-1 and in the bottom of the seventh, Decatur had the bases loaded with no outs, but the team was unsuccessful at scoring those players. “We had five hits the whole game and three of them came in the seventh inning. Fourteen of our 21 outs were strikeouts, so that tells you the offense is not clicking,” Howard said. “We couldn’t get a bat on the ball. Two games in a row we haven’t been able to do that.” Howard said Iacona performed well on the mound to keep the Seahawks in the game. She struck out 11, walked one and allowed eight hits. Decatur is scheduled to compete in the Mardela Springs softball tournament on Saturday.

Decatur track teams win first meet of ’12 season Seahawks victorious by sizable margin, but plenty of room for improvement

Continued from Page 36

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 30, 2012) The Stephen Decatur boys’ and girls’ track teams won the seven-school season opener on March 22, at Seahawk Stadium in Berlin. “Overall, I thought we did pretty well. It’s a great way to start the season,” said Coach Jody Stigler. The Seahawks are also led by Coaches Rick Cawthern and Fred Billings. “We won by a sizable margin on both sides, but it’s only the first meet so there’s lots of room for improvement. We’re still trying to figure out who should do what events.” The Decatur boys’ squad scored 276 points in the victory. Easton finished a distant second with 99 points. Seahawks who earned first-place honors in their individual events were Greg Petersen (110-meter high hurdles, 16 seconds; high jump, 6 feet 4 inches; triple jump, 39 feet 6.5 inches), James Mapp (100-meter run, 11.4 seconds; 200m, 24.3 seconds), Tony Sullivan (discus, 116 feet .5 inches), Lance Ward (1,600m, 4:58; 800m, 2:09.7), Chris David (400m, 52.6 seconds), Nick Craven (shot put, 44 feet 5 inches) and Kevin Herbert (3,200m, 12:09.3). David, Ward, Dan Winters and Sunny Aroh outran their competition in the 1,600-meter relay race, crossing the finish line in 3:42.8. Tristan Peeples joined Ward, David

and Winters for the 3,200-meter relay event, which the boys won in 8:51.4. The Lady Seahawks racked up 275 points in the victory, followed by Easton with 134.5 points. Decatur athletes who placed first in their events were Jessica Galuardi (100meter high hurdles, 17.9 seconds), Katie Purnell (long jump, 17 feet 3.5 inches; triple jump, 34 feet 5 inches), Rebecca Lederman (200m, 28.5 seconds), Ameerah Lewis (shot put, 33 feet 9 inches), Chloe FauntLeRoy (800m, 2:34.3; 1,600m,

The Saunders sisters, FauntLeRoy and Lederman took top honors in the 1,600meter relay race (4:29.6). Buckman, FauntLeRoy, R. Saunders and Liz Rougcher won the 3,200-meter relay event in 10:36.7. The Seahawks’ next track meet is scheduled for today at 4 p.m. in Salisbury.

Two days later, the Seahawks topped the Parkside Rams 13-8 at home. The Seahawks were first on the scoreboard when Snyder scored just 52 seconds into the game. Goals by Corey Gwin and Erik Geiser boosted Decatur’s lead to three by the end of the first quarter. Parkside cut the advantage to two less than a minute in the second quarter. Geiser and Snyder took turns scoring over the next three minutes to put the Seahawks on top 8-2. Matt LeCompte netted a shot two minutes before halftime, and the home team went into the break ahead 9-2. Geiser finished the game with four goals and three assists. Snyder tallied four goals and LeCompte had two goals and three assists. Gilbert stopped nine Rams’ shots. “I thought we played extremely well at times. It was a good win for us, but we had 10 and a half minutes of penalties in the game and we just can’t play a man down as much as we did,” Lathroum said. Decatur is set to travel to Salisbury today for a match-up with the James M. Bennett Clippers.

A Southern-style barbecue spread will be offered. The cost to take part in the beer festival is $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

(March 30, 2012) The approximately 300 guests who attended the inaugural Brewgrass event at Fager’s Island last year had the opportunity to taste craft beer from several regional breweries and eat Southernstyle barbecue, all while listening to bluegrass music provided by two local bands. “Last year went great. We didn’t know how it would be received, but it was very well attended,” Fager’s Island General Manager Kevin Myers said this week. During the second annual Brew-

grass event, scheduled for Saturday from 1-5 p.m., representatives from Evolution Craft Brewing Company (Delmar, Del.), Flying Dog Brewery (Fredrick, Md.), Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ale (Milton and Rehoboth Beach, Del.) and Burley Oak Brewery (Berlin) will be on hand to discuss their products and provide samples. Each brewery will have its own designated area, where attendees can taste the variety of beers it produces. Nineteen beers will be available for sampling. Each brewery has also created a special beer specifically for the event, Myers said. “There will be some nice regional

This is the first time the organization’s teams will participate in a Reach the Beach competition. “Reach the Beach is fun because it’s local and they can have their family and friends come cheer them on,” said Jennifer Roglitz, president of the High Voltage All Stars parent boosters and an organization board mem-

ber. “It’s just an exciting competition and teams come from all over so it gives us a chance to compete against some different teams.” Roglitz also coaches the HVA Baby Boltz team with her daughter, Abbie, and competes on the parent squad. “When you see the kids go out there and do what they do, it’s

just amazing,” she said. “We’re looking forward to going out there this weekend and showing what we can do.” The High Voltage All Stars cheerleading teams scheduled to compete this weekend are Baby Boltz (tiny, ages 3-5), Static (youth, 11 and younger) and Power Surge (senior, 18 and younger). Joining them will be

pom dance group ElectraCute (youth) and hip hop squad HIPnotic (18 and older). Blackout, a parent cheer team representing HVA, will also perform along with the organization’s special needs cheer squad, Extreme Danger. The HVA organization was founded by sisters Kathy Brown See TEAMS on Page 44

Worcester County GOLD seeks donations for needy IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer (March 30, 2012) Spring has sprung, the flowers have riz. Mother Nature’s foolin’ with our psyches, that’s what it tiz. Last week, leaping leprechauns were everywhere. Now, it’s “brake for bunnies” signs popping up all over town. Did you know that the local Easter bunny needs help? Want more info? Bunny hop to a phone and call the Worcester County’s G.O.L.D. (Giving Other Lives Dignity) organization at 410-677-6830. Albeit volunteer time or money, trust me, this local organization will give you a warm welcome. G.O.L.D. even offers you a chance to temporarily adopt a family. Brand new Easter outfits, a must in the olden days, would be nice. Been a little lax this Lent due to extenuating circumstances? G.O.L.D. needs your help. Remember that old adage, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket?” A hundred-fold investment return in today’s market is unbeatable. On Sunday, April 1, I planned to present a 19-year perfect attendance award to a charter member of Harpoon Hanna’s year-round Wednesday senior happy hour.

Not to worry, the Kemps were offered a bodaciously humongous consolation prize — a week’s stay at the Selbyville International Airport’s 90-story Bishopville Biltless, located in the heart of beautiful downtown Selbyville. In a luxurious penthouse suite, of course. Due to a slower, lower DELDOT’s permit problems, the hotel is being built from the top, down.

Many thanks to the many volunteers, folks the likes of Manns, Handys, Carozzas, Matthiases, McCarthys, Boccis, Cooks, Nickles’, Rozanowskis, Subkowiaks, O’Briens, Stones, Greenwoods, Pinnixes, Taylors, Townsends, Mulhollands, Wagners and other locals, willing to give of their time and resources. My generation was part of the first group migrating to these shores in great numbers in the ’70s and ’80s. Thanks to bills passed that enabled us to retire, such as the GI bill, social security and strong company- and government-backed retirement plans.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid having someone else take credit for the project you started by finishing it yourself. Then it will be you lovely Lambs who will be wearing those welldeserved laurels. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The facts about a new opportunity are still emerging. Wait until they’re all out in the open, and then use your keen business sense to help make the right decision. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel confused, even hurt by a friend who suddenly puts distance between you. If she or he won’t discuss it, don’t push it. An explanation should come in time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your willingness to be part of the team opens doors that had been shut to you. Keep them open by keeping your promises even when your commitment seems to be wavering. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. You’re really getting things done to purr-fection. And don’t forget to take a catnap now and again to keep those energy levels up and bristling for action. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your “plain-talking” honesty is admirable. But sometimes sharp words can leave painful scars. Be careful that what you say doesn’t come back to hurt you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A stress-filled period takes a positive turn as you deal with the underlying problem. Act now to avoid a recurrence by changing some basic rules in your relationship. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your rising energy levels make it easier for you to achieve some important objectives. This could lead to a big boost in how you’re perceived, both at home and on the job. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A changing picture begins to emerge as you learn more about an offer that seemed so right but could be so wrong. Look to a trusted adviser for guidance. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Spiritual aspects are strong. Take time to reflect on the path you’re on and where you hope it will lead you. It’s also a good time to reach out to loved ones. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You could be assuming far too many responsibilities, whether it’s at work or in personal matters. Be careful that you’re not weighed down by them. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re getting closer to your goals. And since nothing succeeds like success (or the promise thereof), don’t be surprised to find new supporters swimming alongside you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always the first to try new ventures and confront new challenges. You inspire others with your courage to follow your bold example.

and Justine Lathbury about two years ago, and athletes on the teams have a range of experience. The youngsters come from different areas, including Salisbury, Ocean City, Berlin, Cambridge, Laurel, Seaford and Delmar. The cheer teams practice two days a week for about two hours, and the dance squads work on their routines once a week for approximately an hour-and-ahalf at the organization’s gym in Salisbury. The groups began learning routines in August. Roglitz said they will use the same routines during all of their competitions this year, although some tweaking and additional stunts will be incorporated. “We take the judges comments and use them to improve the routines for the next competition,” she said. “They’re always perfecting their routines.” Reach the Beach, which is among the largest cheerleading competitions in the nation, is packed with high-energy cheering, dancing, tumbling, twirling and tossing as boys and girls perform in front of thousands of spectators. Teams from Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., travel each year to Ocean City to compete for cash prizes, medals, trophies and national championship jackets at the 40th Street venue. Cheer solo and stunt groups are scheduled to perform tonight (Friday). Action is set to begin at 5 p.m. School and all-star cheerleading and dance events are on tap for Saturday and Sunday.

(March 23, 2012) When the Julia A. Purnell Museum reopens April 3, for the 2012 season, a new temporary exhibit, featuring artifacts from baseball’s segregated past, will be on display. “Negro League Memorabilia” will remain on display through the fall. The museum’s temporary display case is filled with items that tell the story of the Negro Leagues, courtesy of local collector Chris Harrington of Salisbury, who has loaned the items to the Purnell Museum. The exhibit contains bats, gloves and balls from the era, autographs, photos, books and magazines, baseball cards for some of the leading players, and posters from some of the greatest games. Through this exhibit, guests will learn something about the best ball players they may never have heard of, and also explore race relations in the United States during these years when segregation was the rule of the day, even in sports. Other new endeavors are also afoot at the museum. “Masculine Pursuits,” also opening April 3, showcases artifacts related to hunting, fishing, shaving, smoking and camping. And new for 2012, the museum will provide free admission for locals on the first Saturday of each month, beginning on Saturday, April 7. Evening hours will also be offered on the first Friday of each month, as part of Snow Hill Arts on the River First Friday events. The museum will be open 5-8 p.m. Beginning April, the Purnell Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday 1-4 p.m. Admission costs $2 for adults and 50 cents for children. For more information contact the museum at 410-632-0515.

WRATH OF THE TITANS 3-D* (PG-13)

(March 30, 2012) For the 13th year, Assateague Coastal Trust will offer a selection of native flowering perennials and heirloom tomatoes during its annual festival in May. This year, the event will be held in ACT’s large back yard, steps from the corner of Old Ocean City Boulevard and North Main Street in Berlin. The festival, which also features nature-inspired crafts, will open its doors at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 5. “It is always a good idea, however, to place plant orders in advance,� said ACT President Tom Jones. “That guarantees that gardeners will get the best of the plants that come from our growers.� Advanced order forms are available now at www.actforbays.org or by calling 410-629-1538. Orders may be placed directly through the Web site. Ten of the 21 perennials available are new to the ACT festival, and all plants are chosen because of their drought resist-

ance and their natural ability to adapt to local gardening conditions. Native plant gardens require less herbicide, less pesticide and less fertilizer than exotic varieties, which is good for the environment and encourages habitat creation for native wildlife. “Every year we create a new ‘Butterfly, Bird and Bee Garden Package,’� said plant festival volunteer Pat Pilling. “The package is designed to attract those wonderful creatures to local gardens, and since the package is 12 plants for the cost of 10, it is an economical choice.� Since heirloom tomatoes were introduced to the festival three years ago, they have grown in popularity. Four organically-grown varieties — Brandywine, Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple and Striped German — are featured this year. Heirlooms typically produce more flavorful tomatoes than hybrids. Master Gardeners will be on hand to

help you solve garden problems and make your selections for 2012. Besides the plants themselves, a dozen local craftspeople will be exhibiting their work for sale. “All of our artists and craftspeople create either garden or nature-related work, or use natural materials in their products,� said festival volunteer Kim Fehrer. “We have woodworkers, birdhouse and bird feeder makers and glassworkers, among others.� Sponsors are being solicited to help underwrite plant festival expenses. Businesses and organizations will benefit from plant sale publicity, Web site links and onsite promotion during the festival. Volunteers are also needed on May 5 to assist with plant sales. To place a plant sale pre-order or for more information about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, visit www.actforbays.org or call 410-629-1538.

New ‘in’ food is actually an Old World dish from South America FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Ceviche quietly becoming next food trend in the West DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (March 30, 2012) Art, when really understood, is a manifestation that is reflected in daily actuality. Culinary innovation encompasses many areas; a true chef is a master of education. That being said, let us open our books and begin. The prolific words of Claude Monet, founder of French impressionist painting, sums up the quintessence of an artist’s portrayal of the sea. “I know that to really paint the sea, it has to be seen every day at any hour and from the same spot to know its life at this very spot.” The relationship between Monet and the sea started at an early age. His family lived in the coastal town of the Le Havre, Normandy. Eugene Boudin, one of the greatest seascape painters of the 19th century, saw the potential in Monet and became his mentor. The tenacity of Boudin would not be in vain; Monet recognized how his tutorship greatly influenced his career. What appears to be a setback can actually be a blessing. In 1862, when the painter was 22 years old, he became sick during his military service and was sent back to Le Havre to recover. At that time, Monet befriended Dutch painter Johan Barthold Jongkind. The relationship sparked Monet’s passion for art and brought him to new levels of proficiency. His work mirrored the effect of light on his seascape paintings. Interpreting the components of vertical and horizontal depth was another key factor. Monet’s brushstroke took on new meaning and was engaged with precise resolution. An artist and a chef have different destinations but their paths have similar

walks. Presentation is in the eye of the beholder and personal preference adds an element of enchantment. I tell my young, aspiring chefs to think of the plate as a blank canvas. Every detail is of the utmost importance. Height attracts attention. If one decides to leave a particular space empty, it is intentional, which allows subordination to highlight the main focus. The bounties of the sea are the underlying factor and ultimate topic. The new “in” food is actually an Old World dish from South America. Ceviche, raw marinated fish with limejuice and herbs, is quietly becoming the next food trend in the West. The Peruvian specialty originated when the Incas preserved their fish with fruit juices, salt and chili peppers. The Spanish conquerors introduced limes which has become a tradition ever since. The debate of whether ceviche is actually cooked is decided by minute definitions. The limejuice “cooks” the fish partially or completely, depending on how long it is marinated. The citric acid in the limejuice does alter the structure of the proteins in the fish, making the fish more opaque and firm, just as if it had been cooked with heat. But the acid does not kill bacteria as well as heat does, so it is imperative to start with the freshest fish possible. Ceviche is typically eaten at lunch or brunch. It is also a popular appetizer with dinner. Salmon, tuna, halibut, sea bass, flounder, tilapia, scallops and calamari are popular choices for ceviche. If you use sea scallops, remove the small muscle that attaches the scallops to the shell. If you do not, it will toughen during the marinating process. Bay scallops are sweet and the natural shape is indicative of textured consistency. Red onions, orange bell peppers

and poblano peppers add a spectrum of color while the limejuice, rice vinegar and garlic sea salt are the foundation for a flavorful marinade. Coarse, fresh ground pepper and cilantro are the final touches. A chef is not only a great cook, but a complex artist whose creations are offered on a plate. Ceviche 12 ounces bay scallops 1/4 cup red onions, sliced paper-thin 1/2 tomato, seeded and diced 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped juice of 12 Key limes 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1/3 orange bell pepper, seeded and stem removed, sliced julienne style into 1 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 poblano pepper, seeded and stem removed, sliced julienne style into 1 1/2-

inch pieces McCormick garlic and sea salt to taste fresh ground pepper to taste Terra chips 1. Rinse the scallops well and pat dry. Mix all of the ingredients together except for the cilantro and terra chips. Make sure the scallops are submerged in the marinade. 2. Cover and chill for 3 hours or until the scallops turn opaque. 3. Toss cilantro with strained ceviche mixture. 4. Place ceviche in a small glass bowl and serve immediately with colorful Terra chips. Secret Ingredient: Possibilities. “The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react” … George Bernard Shaw.

CROSSWORD

OC Boardwalk museum to host book signing with Gordon Katz (March 30, 2012) The Ocean City Museum Society announces that Gordon Katz will be on hand at the LifeSaving Station Museum from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, March 31, for a book signing. He will be autographing his newly published book, “102 Gentlemen and a Lady.” According to local historians George and Suzanne Hurley, the book “is an astounding account of the stockholders who were involved in the founding of the Atlantic Hotel Company and the Wicomico & Pocomoke Railroad, and the role they played in the building of the town of Ocean City.” Funding for book printing was generously donated by the Calvin B. Taylor Bank. It retails for $24.95 in the museum gift shop. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is located on the Boardwalk adjacent to the inlet lot.

Author Gordon Katz will sign copies of his book, “102 Gentlemen and a Lady,” on March 31, at the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum.
