Groups included, from top left, the Red Hat Society Charm Girls, Praise Ablaze, the Duncan Showell American Legion Post 231 color guard and the Salisbury TOP Rockerz. Thousands celebrate ‘Old-Fashioned’ way By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) The mile-and-ahalf stretch of Flower Street overflowed with onlookers on Monday, as Berlin’s annual Old-Fashioned Memorial Day parade drew residents and visitors of all ages on a pictureperfect summer day. Unlike most Berlin events, centered in the downtown area and designed to boost revenue in shops and restaurants, the parade served as a communitywide homecoming, and the enthusiasm often spilled out on into streets, jamming up traffic on the parade route with scores of camera and cell phone-wielding spectators. Vendors, most of them centered near the multipurpose building, sold the works: hamburgers, hot dogs, barbeque chicken, fried fish sandwiches, hot wings, snow cones, and treats of all shapes and sizes. Nonprofits and political action AC SPRING TUNE-UP only 89 $ committees, including Working America, the country’s largest nonunion worker’s group, set up booths for the occasion, while others groups and individuals, such as Berlin resident Q. Burden, set up a makeshift version of his Pretty City Boutique business inside the multipurpose building, selling clothing and jewelry. Gregory Purnell, who emceed the event, welcomed the throng to “the coolest small town in America” and asked for a moment of silence to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Purnell also underscored the homecoming aspect of the event in his opening statement. “Some gave all, but all gave some, and so we’re here to celebrate the veterans today in merriment,” Purnell said. “We welcome you again. It’s always so good to see so many of the faces coming back to help us celeSee BERLIN Page 2 CENTRAL AC SYSTEMS Cooling • Heating • Plumbing • Electric • Appliances ng at MARC ANTHONY HOME SERVICES Call NOW!

Coral Sea aircraft carrier. “He was raised in Whaleyville, and at the age of 20 he was drafted into the Armed Forces,” Purnell said. “Virgil traveled from several countries, including Japan, the Philippines, Spain and Saipan.” Armstrong, who rode in the parade on a scooter, reenlisted in the armed forces in 1950, serving four years during the Korean Conflict. “He watched as many of his comrades, who we are here to celebrate today, were buried at sea,” Purnell said. “Let him know, and all the veterans know, we appreciate their service.” Following Armstrong, and an assembly from the Duncan Showell American Legion Post 231 color guard, Berlin Mayor Gee Williams and District 4 Councilmember Dean Burrell rode bicycles down the parade path and waved to the crowd as part of a long-standing tradition. Next came Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing, riding on an army transport, followed by the Stephen Decatur High School Marching Band playing patriotic music, and the Red Hat Society Charm Girls, who put on a festive limbo demonstration, throwing trinkets to into the crowd during the process. Several youth dance troupes, including the Salisbury TOP Rockerz, Salisbury Little Rockerz and the Berlin Heat, literally stopped traffic, showing off their skills to booming dance music while family members and friends broke through the mostly cosmetic barricades to get a closer look. The Little Rockerz and Berlin Heat won each awards following the parade, along with Duncan Showell, Walk Through the Valley, the National Association of Black Vets, VFW Post 10159, Abu Lahab Temple number 206, the Red Hat Society, St. Paul United Methodist NYF, Germantown School Community Heritage Center, East Coast Cruisers, St. John’s United Methodist Church Cottage House and a St. John’s youth group, the Black Knights, Buffalo Soldiers and East Coast Car and Truck. Salisbury Little Rockerz Choreog- rapher Sophia McKinney said plenty of work went into the group’s demonstration. “They did great,” she said. “We’re really happy with their performance.” District 2 Worcester County Commissioner Diana Purnell accepted awards on behalf of the St. John’s United Methodist Church, which she attends. The youth group, called “Small in Numbers, but Might in Power,” did a praise dancing demonstration during the parade. “We thought they did a great job and the weather was nice, so everybody is enjoying themselves,” she said. Several volunteers in bright neon green vests handed out bottled water to participants at the end of the parade route. “I thought it was an awesome parade,” she Berlin resident Fran Franklin “It was a good spirit, and the most important thing is that we’re celebrating our veterans who have served our country. Without them, none of us would probably be there. I want to send a shout-out to them and a ‘thank you.’ It was a good day.” Many, including Salisbury resident Tim Gordy, were experiencing their first Old Fashioned Memorial Day parade. “I enjoyed it,” he said. “I liked the dancing. I liked the motorcycles a lot too – it makes me want a motorcycle.” Parade Chairman Jesse Turner said he was happy with the parade’s turnout, and hoped for an even better showing next year. Purnell, speaking after the parade, also said he was pleased with the showing, which he estimated to be more than 2,000 people. “I think it’s very good that people are turning out for this holiday and taking the time to pause and celebrate and memorialize veterans who gave their lives and those who came back and lost their lives later,” he said. “We thank the committee for continuing to have this, and we thank the community for coming out to be a part of it.” 8 PROPERTIES Cecil & Wor o cester Counties MARYLAND AUCTION INTERNET-ONLY ‡ 46#%*7*4*0/

This year’s budget marks an 11 percent increase over the $15.3 million dollar budget adopted during the previous year. Of the staff’s work on the budget this year, Berlin Mayor Gee Williams said, “More time for sure, and possibly more effort, has been put into the preparation of this budget than any I have been associated with since first being elected to the town council in 2003.” The budget is based on maintaining the town’s current property tax rate of 68 cents per $100 of valuation. The tax rate has remained steady for three consecutive years. Residents will not experience increases in fees for town water, wastewater or stormwater, and will see a 3 percent reduction in electric bills from June 2015 through December 2017, thanks to a new purchase power agreement. Also because of the agreement, the electric fund decreased 3 percent, down $147,241, to $5.5 million. The general fund budget increased 10 percent, to $5.7 million, largely because of increasing impact fees on new residential development, state income tax revenues to the town, and increased highway user revenues from the State of Maryland, according to Williams. Stormwater fund rose sharply because of a series of grants from the Department of Natural Resources, Housing and Urban Development and FEMA, which pushed the fund ‘More time for sure, and possibly more effort, has been put into the preparation of this budget than any I have been associated with since first being elected to the town council in 2003’ Berlin Mayor Gee Williams up 69 percent to $2.2 million, an increase of more than $900,000. Finance Director Natalie Saleh said the town receives residential stormwater revenue of approximately $68,000 and commercial stormwater revenue of $90,000 annually. “That revenue stream has been able to [produce] … over a million dollars in grants,” Williams said. “I think you don’t have to be a math wiz to know that the return on investment that we are making as a com- $1 off at HHour DRAFT BEER FLYING DOG Raging Bitch Belgian style IPA Fin City • Miller lite Complimentary Spa Services We treat the person, not just the mouth.

The water fund rose 16 percent, to $1 million, as a result of the increase in revenue from special connection fees generated by new developments, especially the new townhome expansion on Seahawk Road. Also tied to the expansion and increased revenue, wastewater revenue projections rose 18 percent to $2.6 million. Under the budget, town employees will receive a 3 percent salary increase, and, for the fifth straight year, health insurance costs will not increase. “As has been our course for several years, I believe the overall result of the fiscal ‘16 proposed town budget enables the town of Berlin to maintain a financially stable budget with continued incremental improvements in municipal services, while allowing the town to continue to invest in infrastructure and property to provide permanent benefits to the community in the future,” Williams said. A public hearing on the budget will be held during a mayor and council meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 8 at town hall.

ETTER! By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) The 17-member group examining how community organizations can use certain Ocean Pines amenities gave a major presentation at last Wednesday’s board of directors work session that detailed its several months of work and its proposed policy on facility use. What comes next, however, is unclear as it the Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors are debating the group’s findings. “It was just a working session, which, really not everybody understood,” Board President Dave Stevens said. “Coming out of it, what I thought about it was there were a lot of important, unanswered questions.” Chief among those, in Stevens’ view, is what kind of data the group used as a foundation for its recommendations, including establishing how much different groups would have to pay to use the facilities. “The answer to that was, ‘Yeah, it’s some place handwritten,’ I think,” Stevens said. “[board member] Tom Terry’s comment that ‘We’re not building a business case’ – no we’re not. We’re trying to develop a reasonable policy. However, if you’re going to reference the fact that you’re trying to look at cost or use as some kind of a measure, then you really should start with what are the real numbers. I think that’s important even if Tom doesn’t.” Stevens suggested such details could “reveal whether or not you’re arguing about a small percentage of the issues or problems, or whether it’s a big one.” “That to me is so obvious that I shouldn’t have to talk about it,” Stevens said. Terry countered that the community center is not a profit center and placed less emphasis on the specificity of the data. “It’s important that we not lose track of that,” he said. “That had nothing to do with the group that did Da d s the research. I think they handled it exactly right. This is not the swimming pools or the beach club – this is a community center that is not measured by the same formula, in my opinion anyway.” Terry said the group did, “an excellent job of working through a very complex issue.” “I realize all the work isn’t done, but I thought they did a great job of finding all the issues that needed to be addressed and coming up with an interesting way of addressing the challenge to make it fair and equitable to be able to use our facilities,” he said. During several recent board meetings, the directors discussed how the association treated nonprofit and charity groups when they want to use a community facility, with the board going as far as voting to refund several hundred dollars to Star Charities, a group that paid to use the community center during a fundraiser for area veterans. The draft released by the committee last week defined seven different groups: community groups, civic groups, social groups, business groups, board advisory committees, special interest groups and OPA HOA’s, but it was unclear where nonprofits or charitable groups would fit into the definitions. “We’ll call it the Anna [Foultz] problem,” Stevens said, referring to Star Charities’ founder. “It’s just one of the unanswered questions that are really pertinent, and they’re realty important. I don’t know how, given the amount of time that group’s been working on it, that wasn’t addressed.” Terry, for the most part, agreed. “We still have to work through the definition around charities,” he said. “That category has not yet been defined completely. They have to work through that. Other than that, I thought they handed it pretty well. “I think they need to stay on track with what they’re doing,” Terry added. “They’re in the right direcSee TIMETABLE Page 6 G ra d s Weddi n g s Associate Brokerr, CRS, GRI, ABR Licensed nsed in MD & DE Resort rt Area Specialist In To p 1% Nationwide OVER $350 $ MILLION SOLD Visit My WebSite WebSite - www w.EdieBrennan.com .EdieBrennan.com rennan.com 2IILFH‡(GLH#(GLH%UHQQDQFRP‡Celll 410-726-3027 Licensed in Maryland and Delaware IMPECCABL LY KEPT CONTEMPORAR RY R RANCHER Enjoy all that Ocean Pines has to offfer! fer!

[General Manager] Bob [Thompson] asked for board feedback, but I’m not going to give him any unless I get the rest of the information. I don’t want to give him feedback on what’s obviously just a partial answer. “I think the committee had a very difficult job, and I’m certainly not criticizing them,” Stevens added. SUBMITTED IMAGE/BAYSIDE GAZETTE Art in the Fields, a new gallery coming soon to Berlin’s Main Street, will feature original art for sale and display from renowned national and international artists. Gallery offering original works by world-class artists By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) A number of art galleries on the Eastern Shore hang work by local artists, as well as prints of well-known works, but few can boast a collection of original contemporary pieces by renowned artists such as Marcel Mouly and Andy Warhol. That’s about to change next month, when Art in the Fields opens its doors in downtown Berlin. New Jersey native Foster Schoch and his wife, Lisa, moved to Salisbury more than a decade ago to start a family. The couple began putting together an impressive private collection of artwork. “Art was something we both enjoyed, we both loved, and we ended up with a lot of it,” Schoch said. “And then at some point you kind of say, well if you like collecting it and you’re having fun doing it, why not continue with it?” See ART Page 8 # " ! !# May 28, 2015 Bayside Gazette Page 7 Bayside Gazette Page 8 May 28, 2015 Art in the Fields will source work from Sotheby’s, Christie’s Continued from Page 6 Most of the gallery’s work is obtained through the secondary market, meaning work that has already been sold at least once. While the primary market generally works through galleries representing artists, or through an artist’s own studio, the secondary market often includes auctions such as those held by Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Art in the Fields often finds its pieces via this route. The space will sell signed and numbered lithographs, as well as original art, by well-known artists both nationally and internationally. Schoch said works by Russian-born French designer Erté and New York artists such as Ilya Bolotowsky and Roy Lichtenstein are examples of work that Art in the Fields will feature. “It’s an investment as well as a really nice thing to put on the wall,” Schoch said. “In 10, 15, 20 years it’s probably going to be worth a lot more. Let’s put it this way: you’re going to spend more on the artwork than you are on the frame, which is the reverse of what most people do.” Schoch said the space would also serve as a venue where the public can view and enjoys the various works. “We’ve got young kids, and it enriches their lives as well,” Schoch said. “That’s kind of a general theme throughout. That’s part of life. If you cut out all the art and the music in the schools do you lose anything? Yeah, you do. You lose a lot, and you lose a lot in your own life as far as imagination, creativity and things like that. “We enjoy it, so why not? And why not do it in the nice town like Berlin,” Schoch added. The building, near the visitor’s center on 6 South Main Street, was previously the location of the long-dormant Mid Atlantic Pain Medicine. Schoch said finding the space was an adventure in itself. “We tried to rent a number of places in town and it’s getting competitive here for rent, which is a great thing for the town,” he said. “There were several places in town where we tried to do something and couldn’t, and finally I kind of gave up and said, ‘if we can’t rent, let’s just buy something.’ And then [broker] Cam SUBMITTED PHOTO/BAYSIDE GAZETTE A new gallery in Berlin will feature original artwork by acclaimed artists including Marcel Mouly. Bunting found this place literally out of the blue.” Schoch, with a little design help from Design Resource, is doing the majority of the remodeling work inside the building himself. “You can see there are fewer walls than there were before by the outlines on the floors, and the bathrooms all have to be ADA compliant,” he said. He also plans to create a “quasipark-like” area around the building, and hopes to be open for business within the next 30 days. “A lot of people really seem to be looking forward to this,” Schoch said. “We know a bunch of folks in the area and they seem to be very welcoming, wondering what we’re going to do and looking forward to seeing what we’re going to end up with. And, hopefully, we’re going to make [a building] that’s maybe not looked the best for a while look a little better on Main Street.” For more information visit www.artinthefields.com. Zawacki hoping for return to board By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) Bill Zawacki, who served on the Ocean Pines Association board of directors six years ago, is working to return to that body in this year’s election. According to the 75-year-old resident, “not much has changed” since he last served. “It’s the same damned thing,” he said. “The board hasn’t gotten any better,” he said. A native of Washington State, Zawacki spent much of his youth traveling across the country while his father served in the U.S. Navy. “I went to 17 schools before I got out of high school,” he said. “I started the first grade in Washington and finished it in Newport R. I. That kind of thing happened all the time.” Zawacki spent 35 years with Xerox, starting as an equipment technician and making $80 a week when the company only had a few Weekday Dine-In Special HOT $150 STEAMED CRABS JUST Each ALL YOU CAN EAT SHRIMP • BOAT Restaurant & Seafood Market thousand employees. By the end of his career, he was manager of business services at the Xerox Document University in Leesburg, Va., working with a budget of $33 million and supervising more than 60 employees. He moved to Ocean Pines in 2004, and was elected to the board of directors in 2006, serving as treasurer, president and vice-president in successive years.

Zawacki said he decided to seek office this year for many of the same reasons he had when he originally ran. He said he looked back recently at things he had posted on a local Internet forum in 2006 and compared them to messages posted this year. One think that Zawacki said irks him is the current board’s lack of procedural consistency. “They won’t follow the resolutions of publishing motions, how to properly hold votes and things like that,” he said. “Some of the things that have gone on are just silly.” In one case, Zawacki said, a motion was made to appoint new committee members, raising the total number of members to more than the policy allowed. Rather than retract the appointments, the board changed the policy. “They said, ‘We’ll just rewrite the policy and we’ll count this as the first reading,’” he said. “’We haven’t written it yet, but we can read it.’ It’s that kind of thing that drives me nuts.” Zawacki also said the board often holds votes before listening to public comments, taking away the opportunity to hear from the membership. When he was president, he said, the board held workshop meetings that encouraged public comments before the regular board meetings took place. “Everybody could talk,” he said. “Everybody could add what they wanted to say about what was going on, and then the following day we would have our business meeting, where literally we just voted on stuff. And all the stuff had already been discussed with everybody.” The last straw, Zawacki said, was during the recent board meeting in which board member Marty Clarke made a motion on yacht club operations, including the option to close it during the winter months. This year the club posted revenue losses of more than $150,000 between October and April. Six out of seven directors voted against the motion. “What killed it was [Clarke] wanted to right now stop taking reservations [for special events at the facility],” Zawacki said. “None of the other six sitting there even bothered to say, ‘I’d like to amend the motion.’ Now you have no motion, you have no plan, you’re right now at $154,000 loss and next year’s budget says you’re going to make $63,000? How do you get there?” One of the hottest issues during the last election was General Manager Bob Thompson’s new contract and the perception that his power had increased. Zawacki believes that could come up again during this cycle. “Based on what I can see looking in from the outside, I don’t like a lot of the things he’s done,” Zawacki said. “But, on the other hand, I’m not getting the inside information that the board would have on dealing with him.” Zawacki said he would like to see more board oversight of the general manager. “To me, the board makes policy, then the GM carries it out,” he said. “Whether or not the yacht club should close is, to me, a policy. It shouldn’t be just left up to Bob. There’s a lot of things where the GM either just ignores things or just doesn’t do them. I don’t know how it’s happening.” The faulty splash pad at the Swim and Racquet Club Pool, for example, could have been handled with a little more finesse, according to Zawacki. “They did the new board members’ walkthrough of all the facilities, and they pointed that out last September that that thing was screwed up. They can’t use it,” Zawacki said. “And here we are now, we’re getting ready to open in a week, and nothing’s been done. Looking in from the outside the man seems very defensive. He needs to be held accountable.” Page 9 Berlin Chamber names director By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) Donna Compher, president-elect of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, introduced Larnet St. Amant as the organization’s new director during a Berlin Town Council meeting on Monday.  Compher and St. Amant, an Ocean Pines native, were on hand to lobby the mayor and council for approval of the 2015 Bathtub Races, which the council unanimously approved for Friday, July 17. She replaces Jim Volk, who served as the chamber’s administrator from November 2014 through April.  The chamber is also interviewing for a part-time administrative assistant to help with office duties, while St. Amant primarily focuses on events and membership, according to a source at the chamber.

Both men are participating in a “Battle of the Mayors” during this School calendar adjusted for 2016 presidential primary (May 28, 2015) After Governor Larry Hogan signed Senate Bill 204, which moved the Presidential Primary to the fourth Tuesday in April, the Worcester County Board of Education approved a modified 20152016 school calendar. In addition to the Election Day change, the modified calendar represents adjustments to the first, second and third marking periods. “Because the school calendar had to be altered to comply with the regulation it affected the number of days in session for the months of November and April,” said Chief Academic Officer Dr. John Quinn. “In turn, it gave us the opportunity to balance the length of each marking period. This will benefit our students and staff and will not impact holiday vacations or the projected last day of school.” The modified calendar remains at 183 school days and includes three inclement weather days which have been added to the end of the calendar. If these inclement weather days are not used, they will be subtracted from the end of the calendar. The last day of school is projected to be Friday, June 17, 2016.

Websites have been established to collect wagers on the winner, with the proceeds going to local Gee Williams nonprofit Women Supporting Women. As of early this week Morrison had received 330 votes – Williams had received none. Mary Henderson, support group facilitator for the Ocean City Chapter of Women Supporting Women, added fuel to the fire on Tuesday. “[Morrison’s] people obviously have more faith in him winning than Berlin with Mayor Gee,” she said. “All they have to do is go online, go to our website, and it’s a $1 vote what mayor you think is going to win,” Henderson added. “Bruce Morrison already has 330 people thinking he’s going to win. Mayor Gee has nobody.” Henderson did Bruce Morrison admit that Williams, a veteran of the previous two High Heel Races in Berlin, should, at least in theory, have an edge in the competition. “I’ve seen Mayor Gee run,” she said. “I know he can rock a pair of heels.” Williams categorized the competition as a friendly rivalry between two men who have known each other for years. “I expect that the mayor of Pocomoke would poke-along, but not stroke,” Williams said on Tuesday. “I ) ++ +% )0 ( $&&, )+) , !)+ #$& + ( .&-, ),- (,.+ ( + ,- + Kiss Your e! y b d o o G s d Wee • Driveways • Stone Yards • Sidewalks & Patios • Shrub Beds • Natural Areas • Parking Lots • Storage Yards • Fence Lines • HOA Community Streets • Phragmites • Poison Ivy • Woody Brush Control • Wherever weeds are a problem (EXCEPT LAWNS) NEW CUSTOMER DISCOUNT 4 $ $ !)+ #$& + ( 2' (- & (, +$ 2 ($(,.& , )' $ just can’t imagine, but we’ll find out.” Williams extended the same challenge last year, but did not receive any takers. “I’m very glad to see that Mayor Morrison is taking up the challenge, and hopefully it’ll draw a little more participation overall and create a little more fun for everybody,” he said. “I think we’ll probably surprise people with how fast two fellas our age can go.” Morrison was not available for comment at press time.

Berlin going big with second annual Touch a Truck Day, Sat. By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) After last year’s vent turned out to be a literal roaring success, Berlin will hold its second annual Touch a Truck Day on Saturday. The event, essentially a public utilities vehicle showcase, allows children to get a little hands-on experience with several of the larger town vehicles from public works, water resources, the police department, fire company and the electric company. “This is a great opportunity for children of all ages to see, touch and explore their favorite truck or vehicle,” Mayor Gee Williams said in a press release. “Everyone will have the opportunity to learn all about the equipment they like the most.” This year, the free event will includes a bucket truck, digger derrick, vacuum truck, camera truck, garbage truck, fire rescue squad vehicle and ladder truck.

Johnson, working with the nonprofit Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services, received the approval of the Berlin mayor and council during a meeting earlier this month, and has set his sights on a month-long summer season for the league, with as many as 200 participants. Several elected officials, as well as the Berlin Police Department, have offered financial support. B.J. Johnson, who runs the basketball program at Stephen Decatur High School, is on board as a consultant. The idea, William Johnson said, came from his upbringing in Wilmington, Del. I grew up with this model,” he said. “In the summer that was what we lived for. We went to school all year, some of us got summer jobs, but at six o’clock it was game time. We all a went to this one park and we got drafted and we ended up playing.” Johnson, who has lived in Berlin since 2009, believes Henry Park, on Flower Street, is the perfect place for a similar league. “This seems to be the essence of this neighborhood,” he said. “From what I can see, this is where it all starts.” It doesn’t hurt that the town recently built new bleachers surrounding the court on three sides. “It looks like Rucker Park in Harlem,” Johnson said. The league would run from June 15 - July 20 with high school teams playing Mondays and Wednesdays, 6-8:30 p.m., using all three courts. Middle school games would take place Tues- days and Thursdays, on two courts. Johnson has contacted 18 schools in Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties, as well as a handful in neighboring states, and envisions an 18team league. His fundraising goal is to raise $7,700, enough to pay for equipment costs, including uniforms, and hire professional referees. As of this week he was more than halfway there. Johnson hopes to raise additional funds during the tryout session at Henry Park, as well as recruit coaches for the league. The cost is $25 per player. “My goal is to have enough coaches and enough kids here Saturday to have a skills competition and actually have a draft,” Johnson said. “Right now I’m fundraising, I’m soliciting for coaches, I’m reaching out to the media – we just need to get the word out. I’m praying that this actually happens.” For more information, call Johnson at 302-893-7175, or email [email protected]. Use the subject line “basketball league interest.” Ravens coming home to ‘Roost’ Annual parade has netted more than $2.6 million for local, national charities By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) Baltimore Avenue will turn into Ravenstown this Saturday as fans donning their purple and black will converge to watch the 51st annual Council of Baltimore Ravens Roost Parade. Ocean City’s Ravens Roost 44 joins 75 roosts from Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania to put on the annual event, which will proceed up Baltimore Avenue from 19th to 26th Street starting at 10 a.m. It’s all about the football fans this year with an “Awesome Fan Commitment” theme. “The first letters in ‘Awesome Fan Commitment’ are AFC, the league the Ravens play in,” said Sue Draper, Ravens Convention chairperson, recording secretary for the Council and member of Pasadena’s Roost 65. The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts and its member roosts have donated more than $2.6 million to local and national charities since 2007 and put in countless hours of volunteering. The theme was chosen to honor the dedication and support the roosts have given to their commu- nities, she added. “Last year, the Council donated $2,000 each to the Ocean City Police Department, the Ocean City Fire Department and the Ocean City Paramedics as a small token of our appreciation for the many departments of the Town of Ocean City that enable us to have this event,” Draper said. Approximately 30 Roosts will march in the 2015 Ravens Roost Parade and are entered into a competition with various categories including best theme and novelty float with trophies for the winners. Several youth and musical groups See YOUTH Page 13 ‘Touch a Truck’ includes demos, displays, vehicles Continued from Page 11 demonstrations on the use of each vehicle, including some showcasing their function during working hours. “We’ll be demonstrating how to set an electric pole and using our ‘Power Town’ display to show everyone how to be safe around electricity,” Electric Utility Director Tim Lawrence said in the release. The police department will provide a K-9 demonstration for the first time this year, and town will hand out free information and activity books for children ages 6-12, available while supplies last. Coucilmember Thom Gulyas, who has been a big proponent of Touch a Truck Day during public meetings in Berlin, said the event is a good opportunity for the community to see where town resources go. “We drop $50,000, $100,000, $150,00 on these specialized trucks, so it’s kind of cool to show everyone what they’re doing, how is snow removed, how are these huge trees cut, how are the power lines taken care of, how are the ditches cleaned out, how are the culvert pipes cleaned out,” he said. “Everybody likes trucks – or at least I think they do.” Gulyas is also holding out hope that town officials give him a little hands-on experience with some of the larger equipment. “If they’ll let me, I’d love to,” he said. “Let’s fire it up. Let’s go cut some grass or put the aerial up. They’re probably not going to let me, but I definitely would love to, that’s for sure. I think all that stuff is really neat.” Hamburgers, hotdogs and ice cream will be available for sale. The rain date is June 20.

Several players, current and alumni, and coaches from the Baltimore Ravens will be in attendance. The Baltimore Ravens Pep Band will be performing throughout the morning near the reviewing stand on Baltimore Avenue and 26th Street, Draper said. “It is difficult to put a number on the size of the crowd lining the streets of Baltimore Avenue, however they are standing three and four deep along the way,” she added. After the Ravens Roost parade, registered Roost members will gather on the beach at Castle in the Sand Hotel on 37th Street, “a gracious host for more than 10 years,” for karaoke and miniature golf contests, volley- ball, horse shoe and corn hole tournaments, a Crazy Hat parade, a dunk tank, Bingo, a scavenger hunt, a bull roast on the beach, followed by awards at night, Draper said. Participants must be registered members of the convention to participate. “The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts have been holding their convention and parade in Ocean City for over 50 years, going back to when they were the Council of Colts Corrals,” Draper said. “For a fan club to remain active and growing for so many years is amazing even during the years when Baltimore had no NFL team. The convention and parade give the Roosts a chance to come together to celebrate their accomplishments, enhance camaraderie and participate in some friendly competition.” WE CAN HELP YOU SAVE ON ENERGY COSTS.

KARA HALLISSEY/BAYSIDE GAZETTE Board of Trustees President Charles Jenkins congratulates Amanda Gabriel as she receives her diploma during Worcester Prep’s graduation ceremony last Friday in Berlin. Worcester Prep’s 43rd annual commencement graduates 47 By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) Forty-seven seniors graduated from Worcester Preparatory during the school’s 43rd annual commencement ceremony last Friday in Berlin. The Worcester Prep students are on their way to 29 colleges in 15 states and have received 197 scholarships totaling more than $6 million, Headmaster Barry Tull said. Tull named Erik Zorn salutatorian for his GPA of 98.47 and Natalie Twilley valedictorian for her 99.34 GPA. “I’ve enjoyed spending time with all of you, and on behalf of everyone, I wish you success and happiness,” Tull added. The Upper School chorus, which included about 18 graduates, performed “Man in the Mirror” during the ceremony. Commencement speaker Steven Salvatore, a Worcester Prep alumni and assistant director at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, began his speech by praising the teachers of Worcester Prep and said how they will leave a lasting impact on the graduates. He encouraged graduates to enjoy every step of their futures and to follow their dreams. “You have joined the exclusive club of Worcester Prep graduates, don’t forget to make us proud,” Salvatore said. “Time is going to fly by, it’s hard to believe 16 years ago I was sitting where See CHOY Page 16 Celebrating Our 50TH Year!

The new Berlin shop offers homemade products, including soaps and beard balms. Once ‘gypsy’ opens Berlin soap shop By Josh Davis Staff Writer (May 28, 2015) First the idea grew, not unlike a musical composition, with a few bars at a time. But instead of a symphony, this composition is soap, pure and handmade. It began four years ago when Salisbury native Jon Conley started making soap for his family. The products were so well received he started selling them to the public, first at farmer’s markets and arts and craft shows, as he described it, “pretty much being gypsies.” On May 1, Conley opened his own store, Uncle Jon’s Soap & Sundries, in downtown Berlin, in the former location of Bungalow Love on Williams Street. “We’ve been making soap and other bath items for years, but I got tired of loading and unloading my truck for every event,” Conley said. “We’ll still do a couple events, but now we’re hoping people start coming to me.” The majority of the products in the shop are made onsite, including the signature soap made with a base of olive oil, coconut oil and soy. Homemade balms are made with coconut See ON Page 17 Continued from Page 15 you are now. Enjoy every step of your future career, every step is unique and interesting in its own way. Keep your mind open to new things and paths. Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, some risks open doors...” Class President Christopher Choy delivered a farewell address to students during the ceremony and started off his speech the same way as Salvatore, by thanking all Worcester Prep staff, from the teachers to custodians. “Although we chartered our own path, I thank those of you who made this journey possible by providing us with your wisdom,” Choy said. He thanked his fellow classmates for being “awesome” and told them he will treasure the memories they have made throughout the years. “No one I’d rather of gone on this journey with but you,” Choy said. He concluded his speech by encouraging the class of 2015 to strive for excellence, chance their dreams, be themselves and achieve their own success. “You are on the right track, embarking on the journey, ready to go forward and I congratulate you,” Board of Trustees President Charles Jenkins said to the graduates. May 28, 2015 Bayside Gazette Page 17 On dare, Jon Conley grew beard that launched logo Continued from Page 16 oil and raw bee’s wax. Conley said his products differ greatly from the mass manufactured items found at drug and grocery stores. “Most of those are not true soap – they’re detergent bars,” he said. “Soap is actually a process. It’s a strong base with oils or fats, and then you go through the process of emulsification and saponification, and that’s what turns it into soap.” Emulsification is any colloidal suspension of a liquid in another liquid. Saponification, a fancy word for soap making, is the hydrolysis of a fat by an alkali with the formation of a soap and glycerol. “Some of the store-bought soaps have so many unnecessary ingredients in them,” Conley said. While commercial soaps can cost as little as 99 cents, Uncle Jon’s soaps start at $5.50, with discounts available if you purchase multiple bars. The value of his products, Conley said, is in their simplicity and character. “There are so many ingredients in [commercial soaps] that you don’t need,” he said. “Not all of them are harmful, but there’s more than I would care to have in something I’m using. And, I can crank out a bunch of different scents. “Here everything has character,” Conley continued. “We just came up with a couple new scents like ‘Dune Grass,’ which is a nice fresh scent, and we added a little color to give it kind of a grassy color. It’s something a little different that will pique peo- ple’s interest.” For purists, Uncle Jon’s also carries baby soaps, with no added color or scent, and no coconut oil to avoid allergies. The shop also carries an extensive line of all-natural beard-care products. Conley, showing his dedication to his own wares, began growing a beard to go with his line of beard balms. “I always had a bit of a goatee, but I started growing this about a year and a half ago,” he said. “I started making [the balm] for some of my friends that grow beards and work at different businesses around the county, and then they all started making fun of me. ‘How are you going to make beard stuff if you can’t use it?’ They bet me I wouldn’t grow it untrimmed for a year, which I actually did.” Today, Conley’s mighty beard is roughly a foot long, covering the entirety of his neck and extending well below his shoulders. It’s enough to make ZZ Top blush. “I started trimming it up after the first year, just to give it some more shape, and now we have a new logo coming out for our beard stuff soon and it involves a caricaturized version of me,” Conley said. “I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon.” Uncle Jon’s Soap & Sundries is located on 12 William Street, Berlin, Md. The store is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

BAYSIDE GAZETTE OP directors right to want ‘just the facts’ in decision No matter how simple it might seem for the Board of Directors to establish a policy regarding community groups’ use of Ocean Pines Association facilities, the reality is that deciding who pays what is an exercise fraught with danger. Okay, maybe not real danger, but it is still an uncomfortable and awkward business of deciding which group is entitled to what level of accommodation at, say, the Yacht Club or other venue. In a way, it is like ranking groups in order of importance and that almost always causes hurt feelings, considering that few members of any group are willing to concede that their outfit or their cause may be a little less significant than some other organization’s. Add to that the likelihood that most local nonprofits don’t have much money in the treasury and therefore appreciate price breaks whenever they’re available, it has to be tough to come up with a way to govern the use of community facilities that will seem fair to everyone. That’s why having good, solid data is critical to developing – and defending – an equitable approach. Should someone question the board’s decisions, board members need to have the ability to point at evidence of some sort and then say, “This is why we did what we did.” Without that information, any decision by the board could be viewed as the product of personal preferences, an instinct or some other baseless theory. To be sure, this is not a discussion of huge significance, and any decision is likely to be amended at some point in the future, but it remains that when you’re dealing with your friends and neighbors, it’s good to know what you’re talking about.

This past Monday, May 25, a record crowd (estimated by police at between 3,500 and 4,000) experienced another unforgettable tribute of remembrance and gratitude for those past and present veterans whose sacrifices continue to guarantee the many freedoms we enjoy in this great country of ours. On a spectacularly beautiful Monday afternoon, this very special Memorial Day event honoring our service men and women elicited frequent cheers and applause interspersed with an abundance of heartfelt tears of remembrance, as tributes to women veterans, military families, local Gold Star Mothers, former Prisoners of War, and those still missing in action. Throughout the entire 60minute program the reverence of the day was enhanced by patriotic and inspirational and patriotic music provided by the Delmarva Chorus, Ocean City Pipes and Drums, Frank Nanna & the WWIIunes, Fiona O’Brien, Todd Crosby, and Randy Lee Ashcraft. It was a truly a “memorable” event in very sense of the word. Many thanks to the Memorial Day 2015 Committee and the many participants and behind the scene volunteers who made this event so meaningful and unforgettable.

These clubs, sports and organizations operate after the school day and will cease to exist if the Worcester County Commissioners and the Board of Education of Worcester County do not come up with a responsible, reasonable and trustworthy plan to ensure that our teachers receive what is promised to them in their contract, cost of living allowance. This is not a raise; this is simply a hike in their pay to counteract the effect of inflation.

Scores of educators in Worcester County are disgusted, disappointed, angry and tired of giving and giving and giving, out of their pockets, out of their home life and out of their love to teach our children. These programs at Stephen Decatur teach, nurture, guide, inspire, drive, protect, serve and create amazing students. Our teachers are prepared to teach to the school day and that is it!

Get out your grill Another Memorial Day has passed, and while the crux of the weekend is to memorialize those who have fallen in service to this great nation, it also means the beginning of summer. We must never forget why the day exists and what it stands for, and I hope that By Paul Suplee, many of you CEC PCIII were able to celebrate it both patriotically and ceremoniously. Our family celebrates the Day in our own private way, and we also usher in the new summer in ways that are reminiscent of most people on this glorious holiday, on which we had the nicest weather I could remember. I worked a couple days at the club to help out a little bit and then took our two kids, who happen to love roller coasters, to Busch Gardens for one big hurrah. It was magnificent. I only wish that I had a FitBit or something else that would have measured how much walking we did. At the end of our full 11 hours in the park, we could barely walk. And then I had to drive three hours home. It was a very – and I mean very – long drive. The breakdown of rides in which we partook was as follows, and accompanied by our 10-year old and 14year old, it was no small task: •The Mach Tower – 6 times. •Lochness Monster – 2 times. •The Griffon (our favorite by far) – 13 times. •Apollo’s Chariot – 11 times. •Alpengeist – 2 times. •A lovely boat ride. •Three nice, quiet train rides to save our legs a little pain. But the most interesting part of our trip was the Food & Wine festival, something of which we knew nothing. Breaking from the tradition of $15 platters of park-food that sits in your gut as you are hurled through loops, descents and speedy inclines, the park was offering an intriguing selection of grub. In each country, signature dishes were offered tapas-style for $4-6 per item, with most of them topping off at $5. We sampled the Banh mi, muffaletta (you know I had to try that!), venison sausage with corn porridge, macaroni and cheese with cheddar and peameal ham, Scottish eggs, Chocolate-Guinness mousse and a Spanish tapas plate with paprika almonds, assorted olives, and Manchego topped with membrillo, or quince paste. It was such a fun journey through the food, and the kids were brazen enough to try just about everything that I ordered. In fact, they are even more intrigued about a road trip to New Orleans to try that true muffaletta at Central Grocery that I’ve been telling them about. So as we woke up today, I knew that it was time to recover. As noted, we were pretty sore, and regardless of the food being fun and good, I knew that we just needed to unwind with a fairly typical fresh dinner. Yearning fresh and vibrant flavors that would help us to rejuvenate, I decided to make a mojo chicken skewer chock-full of vegetables and so much flavor that it would do all but cure our ails. A cool little trick that I like to do when I heat up my grill at home is to rub it down with half of an onion after the grill is nice and hot. The antiseptic qualities of the onion help to sanitize the grill, but quite honestly, 600-degrees does that quite nicely al- ready. The onion adds a great flavor and will have you playing Pavlov’s dog before the first piece of meat or vegetables hits the grill. So as you go into the summer, please remember to fire up that grill often, or at the very least to hit your local produce stands to start incorporating all of the gorgeous goods that we have here on the Shore. And thank you to all of our fallen, for they have given us the opportunity to be who we are in the greatest, most diverse country there is. Chicken Skewers Makes 6 skewers 2# Fresh chicken breast 2 c. Mojo Criollo (recipe follows) 18 ea. Cherry tomatoes, whole 1 ea. Zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks 1 ea. Yellow squash, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 ea. Red onion, cut into chunks Whole button mushrooms, as needed •Clean all of the “goo” and cartilage off of the chicken breasts and cut into 1 x 2-inch pieces or to whatever dimension best suits your needs. •Marinate the chicken in the mojo for at least three hours and as long as six. •When ready to go, alternate the ingredients on the skewers, making sure to follow a pattern as this will make them quite ascetically pleasing. •Brush with the marinade and season. •Grill until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender. A good hint here is to cut your tender vegetables into large chunks so that they are tender but not mushy by the time that the chicken is cooked through. Mojo Criollo 1 c. Sour orange juice 1/2 c. Lime juice 1/4 c. Olive oil 1/2 c. Minced fresh garlic Salt & Pepper to taste 1/4 c. freshly minced Parsley 1/4 c. freshly minced cilantros •Combine all ingredients at least one hour before using. Refrigerate until ready to marinate. — Paul G. Suplee is an Assistant Professor of Culinary Arts at Wor-Wic Community College. Find his ePortfolio at www.heartofakitchen.com.
