APRIL 19, 2018 BERLIN • NORTH WORCESTER COUNTY• OCEAN PINES FREE

JOSH DAVIS/BAYSIDE GAZETTEHundreds of Berlin Little Leaguers on Saturday marched down Main Street during the annual opening day parade, then held opening ceremonies at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex.

(April 19, 2018) The Ocean PinesAssociation will host a town halltoday, Thursday, at 7 p.m. in the As-sateague Room of the Community

Center on 235 Ocean Parkway. The agenda includes a presenta-

tion by the Matt Ortt Companies,which have been hired to run associ-ation food and beverage operations,and a Q&A session. According to a press release, “The

membership is encouraged to comewith questions, concerns and ideas.Questions may be submitted in advancevia email to info@oceanpines.org.”Association President Doug Parks

said he has two goals in mind. “One, to let Matt Ortt present what

they’re going to do,” he said. “Everybodyis concerned and excited and the yachtclub and food and beverage operation istop of mind, as it should be. It’s an areathat clearly needs improvement. “We stepped forward as a board

and put this management company

in place, and we want to get every-body exposed to that before thingsstart, so they know where everybodyis going with it,” he added. The second goal, Parks said, is to

“provide a question-and-answer sessionthat can’t be done at a regular boardmeeting, because board meetings areregulated by our governing documents.” He said public comments during

those meetings are restricted to justthat – comments. “This, since it’s not a regular board

meeting where we would conduct boardbusiness, is an open dialog,” Parks said.“So, it eliminates any restrictions of notbeing able to ask a question or have aconversation.” The meeting will be streamed online

at www.OceanPines.org and broadcastlive on Mediacom channel 78.

Q&A session at town hall, tonight

(April 19, 2018) There’s an inter-esting wrinkle in the Ocean Pineselection this year, according to newlyconfirmed Elections CommitteeChairman Steve Habeger.

After ballots are mailed on July 10,voters may select up to three candi-dates for the board of directors. How-ever, not all of the winners will serveequal terms.

Speaking at an elections committeemeeting last Friday, Habeger said thetop-two vote getters will serve three-year terms on the board, but thethird-place candidate will serve forjust one year. That’s because BrettHill vacated his seat last year and TedMoroney was appointed to serve untilvoters could choose a replacement.

Hill, elected in August 2016, wouldhave had one year remaining on histerm.

Habeger also discussed proceduresfor counting and then immediatelyannouncing votes, an association first.

He said the newly altered Resolu-tion M-06, governing elections, re-quires the elections committee toannounce the results during a live on-line broadcast on Aug. 10. Resultswould also be emailed to the candi-dates and to Ocean Pines members,and announced on the associationwebsite, Habeger said.

The results will be validated at theannual meeting on Aug. 11.

“My suggestion … is that when weannounce the ballot vote totals, that’swhat we announce, and at the annualmeeting we speak to the fact that wehave a partial term and the bylaws re-quire that the top-top vote getters willreceive three-year terms and thethird-place vote getter will fulfill theunexpired vacant term that Ted Mo-roney is currently occupying,”Habeger said.

“There’s a difference between an-nouncing ballot totals and validatingthe election, and that’s my approachto complying with both of those,” hecontinued. “I almost see Friday [Aug.10] as being numbers and Saturdaybeing what they mean.”

Director Slobodan Trendic, thecommittee liaison, said it is importantto cite relevant passages from the as-sociation bylaws.

According to Section 5.01(d) of thebylaws, “The election shall fill onlythose vacant positions included onthe ballot. Those candidates receivingthe higher numbers of votes shall beelected to three-year terms and thosereceiving lower numbers of votes shallbe elected to serve for the remainderof any unexpired terms in descendingorder of votes received.”

“That makes the rule very clear,very explicit,” Trendic said. “If youmake a point of associating the bylaws… it’s going to help the community tounderstand what’s going on – what’sso different about this election versusprevious elections.”

crease, along with a one-time $500per-employee payment, to be given onThanksgiving. Among the significant projects

funded in the preliminary budget werea parking study, $20,000, and com-prehensive plan update, $10,000,both of which would be booked to ad-ministration. The buildings and grounds budget

listed $200,000 for a Town Hall ren-ovation and $70,000 for a Town Hallelevator.A 95 percent drop in spending for

capital projects accounts for most ofthe projected decrease, and the bulk ofthat, $1.7 million, was for equipmentfor the new police station, which wascovered in last year’s budget.Utilities for the much larger stand-

alone station near Flower Street andAssateague Road are projected to in-crease about $29,000 more.Ten body cameras at $10,000 and a

Chevy Tahoe for $40,000 were alsolisted in the police budget. A more than 1,200 percent increase

in the sanitation capital outlay equip-ment request was because of a new au-tomated-arm garbage truck, $280,000,and a recycling truck at $190,000.Parks and recreation budgeted

$133,000 for permanent restrooms atStephen Decatur Park, $20,000 forplayground equipment at the newOceans East apartment complex and$5,000 for improvements to the tot lotat Dr. William Henry Park. The major-ity of the restroom cost, $120,000,could come from a state CommunityParks and Playgrounds grant. Separate from the parks and recre-

ation budget was $100,000 earmarkedfor Berlin Falls park capital projects.Town administrator Laura Allen saidallocation of that money would be upto the Berlin Falls Park Committee. The budget includes $250,000 for

the Berlin Fire Company and$150,000 for EMS services. Allen saidthat number is consistent with recentyears and unlikely to change, althoughfire company personnel are expectedto discuss the funding request at thenext Town Council meeting, April 23. Much of the discussion during a

budget introduction meeting Mondaynight at Town Hall was on the risingcost of health insurance. Employee health insurance was

projected to increase about 24 per-cent, while health insurance claimslook to rise 80 percent. However, Human Resources Direc-

tor Jeff Fleetwood said those numberswere skewed because the town wasforced to switch carriers last Septem-ber when Evergreen Insurance wentbankrupt. He said actual health insur-ance costs were projected to increaseabout 3.68 percent and could be aslow as 3 percent when the budget is fi-nalized. He said the change in carriers also af-

fected health insurance claims, becausethe plans were structured differently.

Chris Carroll, vice president of At-lantic/Smith, Cropper & Deeley, saiddemographics were the biggest factorin employee health insurance costs,and Mayor Gee Williams added a largepercentage of town employees werewithin retirement age. “They’re very experienced, but I

think we have to keep in mind … 10 or12 years from now we’re going to havea very young workforce,” Williamssaid. Williams said workers’ compensa-

tion at the police department was thehighest in memory and is projected tomore than double from $93,000 to al-most $200,000. Fleetwood said overall workers’

compensation is expected to growfrom $242,000 in fiscal 2018 to$372,000 in 2019. He said he could discuss the matter

further during closed session, butadded in the police department therewere “two very expensive claims, oneof which there’s not a thing on God’searth we could’ve done differently” toprevent.“The good news is, that particular

officer is now back to work,” Fleetwoodsaid. “To call it like it is without usingnames, he’s had two spinal fusions.”He said those costs would likely de-

crease over time, because workers’compensation is determined by athree-year average and several anom-alous years were due to come off thebooks. A utility fund work session is scheduled

for April 30 at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall.Allen said introduction of a full

budget draft would occur in May, withadoption likely during council meet-ings on June 11 or June 25.

Budget first draft includesfunding for parking studyContinued from Page 1

edges the meeting was not scheduledin accordance with Resolution C-01,which clearly states the requirementsfor scheduling a meeting and notifyingthe Membership. “We regret this situation unfolded

Light-hearted signs point to downtown Berlin

(April 19, 2018) Although some is-sues were reported with new parkingsystems in the Ocean City inlet lot,parking in downtown Berlin remainsfree and relatively painless. A town sign near the corner of

Route 50 and Main Street this weekpoked a little fun at the juxtaposition. Berlin resident Mike Wiley has

been in of charge of the sign for sev-eral years, dating back to whenMichael Day was the town economicdevelopment director. Wiley, 71, is a retired Anne Arun-

del County firefighter and prolificvolunteer, assisting his wife, HelenWiley, at the Church Mouse ThriftShop and helping with downtownBerlin events such as the annualBathtub Races and Spring and FallCruisers. “I took over helping [Day] with the

sign when it got real busy and it grad-ually evolved into doing it all thetime,” Wiley said. “I really enjoy it –you’re out here alone and peopledon’t bug you!” On Tuesday Wiley put up an ad-

vertisement for the Jazz and BluesBash, May 5, on the eastbound side.

“That’s the side that tourists al-ways see coming into town,” he said.“On the westbound side going out oftown it’s just going to say we haveover 50 shops and there’s free park-ing.”The westbound sign currently

reads: LOOK MA! FREE PARKINGOVER 50 SHOPSThat’s as opposed to “paying in

other towns,” Wiley added. He said the signs are changed as

needed, which is rarely during thewinter months and more frequentlyas event season heats up, Maythrough October. “With spring starting you change it

almost weekly,” he said. “I keep thetown’s little calendar and pencilthings in as they come.” Wiley said he first workshops

ideas on his computer at home. Hefigured out whatever fits on one lineusing a 48-point Arial font will trans-late well onto the sign. The postings cannot promote a

specific business, but instead focuson “generic stuff about the town orpublic service announcements.”“It’s all prepped before I come

out,” he said. “I figure I’ve probablydone about 100 signs over the years.“I’ve had a couple of unique ones

that have gotten a chuckle out of boththe mayor and Sen. Jim Mathias –

both of them comment all the time,”Wiley added. For example, several times during

the Maryland State Firemen’s Associ-ation Convention and Conference inOcean City Wiley has posted, “Stop,drop and roll into America’s Coolest

Small Town.”During Jeep Week the sign has

read, “4x4 into Berlin,” and when theDew Tour was in Ocean City the sidesaid, “Dew drop in.” “That brought some people in, I

think,” Wiley said. By Josh DavisAssociate Editor

JOSH DAVIS/BAYSIDE GAZETTEBerlin resident and prolific volunteer Mike Wiley on Tuesday switches up the town sign near thecorner of Route 50 and Main Street. Wiley has been in charge of the sign for a number of years,changing it as often as once per week during the busy event season.

OPA looking for diverse candidates

(April 19, 2018) Ocean Pines offi-cials are encouraging homeowners ingood standing to file for board of di-rectors candidacy ahead of the May10 application deadline. Three slots will be available on the

seven-member panel this year.“For anyone interested in public

service, the Ocean Pines Board of Di-rectors is the avenue in which you canmake a difference,” Denise Sawyer,director of Marketing and Public Re-lations for the Ocean Pines Associa-tion, said. “Property owners who arepassionate about Ocean Pines and itsprogress are encouraged to run forelection.”Association Secretary Colette

Horn encouraged people from allwalks of life to file.“One of the things that [Associa-

tion President] Doug [Parks] and Idiscussed informally about the searchand the election process is the impor-tance of letting it be known far andwide that all different kinds of peopleare needed,” she said. “We don’t needjust one toolbox, one skill set in direc-tors. The more diverse the board is,in some ways, the more rich the con-versation is.”According to association bylaws,

“The affairs and business of the asso-ciation shall be managed by a boardof seven directors, each of whom shallbe a member of the association eligi-ble to vote. The terms of the directorsshall be for three years and until theirrespective successors are duly se-lected. No member of the board of di-rectors may at the same time be anemployee of the association.”To be eligible, candidates must be

“one of the owners of record of realproperty in the subdivision on thefirst day of January of the year inwhich the election is to be held andeligible to vote under Section 3.01(c).No member may be a candidate forelection as a Director of the Associa-

tion if he or she is an incumbent Di-rector completing a second consecu-tive elected full term of office.”Section 3.01(c) states, “Payment of

the annual charge levied by the boardof directors is a prerequisite to theright to vote. No member may vote if,thirty-five days prior to the votingdeadline, the member has failed topay the annual charge, including anyassessed interest levied by the associ-ation. The voting rights of a membermay also be suspended during anyperiod the member is in continuingviolation of the Declarations of Re-strictions after the existence of the vi-olation has been declared by theboard of directors.”Candidate applications can be ob-

tained from the administration build-ing on 239 Ocean Parkway, online atwww.oceanpines.org/forms-docs-cat/board-member-application, orfrom any member of the Ocean PinesSearch Committee. For a full list ofcommittee members, visitwww.oceanpines.org/administra-tion/advisory-committees/search-committee.Per association bylaws, at least two

more applicants than vacancies are re-quired. This year, because there arethree vacancies, at least five are needed.Three have filed as of press time. A candidate information meeting

is scheduled for Thursday, April 26 at7 p.m. in the East Room of the OceanPines Community Center on 235Ocean Parkway.According to a press release, “The

meeting aims to outline the responsi-bilities of board members, describethe qualifications of the candidates,and receive input from attendeesabout finding interested candidates.”Search Committee Chairman Ken

Koroknay said he is working to pro-mote the meeting, to include Parksand members of the elections com-mittee as well.“Past history would suggest this

doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, but Ithink there’s at least a couple peoplethat have contacted me that are goingto show up,” he said. “My thinking isany candidate can read the bylaws,any candidate can read the applica-

tion … but the idea is to let themknow this is kind of an open session.”He said the intention is to give “a

little bit more color to the electionprocess.” “You don’t have to view it as some

kind of a torture chamber out of anEdgar Allen Poe novel,” he said.“We’re trying to make them a littlemore comfortable as what they mightlook at and feel during those summermonths [during the campaign], andalso give a little background … as tothe director role – how much per-sonal time it takes … to be a director,what are the most effective ways to bea director, how do you do work ses-sions and committee assignments – alittle bit of background informationyou might not otherwise get from thebylaws.“Let that person say, ‘Yeah, I think

that kind of fits my profile. I think Icould be successful in that role.’ Or,perhaps they might learn somethingand say, ‘Nah, this year is not my yearto run,’” Koroknay added. The association recently updated

its list of important upcoming elec-tions dates. They are: • Friday, June 8: Candidates will

draw for position on the ballot, 11a.m. at the Ocean Pines Administra-tion Building, boardroom• Wednesday, June 20: Candi-

Search committeeto meet in closedsession on May 11

(April 19, 2018) Search CommitteeChairman Ken Koroknay wagered lastFriday that the Ocean Pines Associationwould have enough board of director fil-ings by the May 10 deadline.

As of press time, three applicationshad been received and at least five are re-quired during this election cycle. Associ-ation bylaws require “two more than thenumber of vacancies to be filled,” whichthis year totals three.

If not enough candidates file, the bylawsstate, “the board of directors shall attemptto solicit sufficient candidates to bring thetotal number to at least two more than thenumber of vacancies to be filled. The addi-tional candidates’ applications shall besubmitted to the secretary before the bal-lots are submitted for printing.”

Koroknay said he believes there willbe enough interest.

“It’s no secret that it’s been a chal-lenging half-year or so for the board, butmy own view is I think a lot of the stuffthat has come out has offered a windowfor some candidates to come in and say,‘I think we can turn a corner and startsomething new,’” he said.

“If think we’re getting interest,” Ko-roknay continued. “If I had to bet … Iwould bet that we’re probably going tohave [several] candidates.

Following the candidate filing dead-line, Ocean Pines Association SecretaryColette Horn will have several weeks toverify the eligibility of each applicant be-fore a formal announcement is made, onor before June 1.

Koroknay said his committee wouldmeet in closed session on May 11 to dis-cuss the applications.

“We will have the delivery of the can-didate application forms to the searchcommittee, and we will look them over,review them, take control of them, anddeliver them to [Horn],” Koroknay said,adding the closed session was necessarybecause of “confidential information” onapplication forms.

Bylaws require candidates to be prop-erty owners in good standing, whichmeans current on assessments and freeof any violations.

“It’s still confidential information asto who the candidates are until Dr. Horndelivers those, certified,” Koroknay said.“Personally, I would look at ResolutionM-09, which is the resolution for thesearch process, and it’s very clear thatyou’ve got to respect the confidentialityof the candidate applications. For me,that’s the justification for going into aclosed session.”

Koroknay said he talked to associationPresident Doug Parks, who advised himto open the meeting, offer public com-ments, and then go into closed session.

Elections Committee Chairman SteveHabeger said he believed the closed ses-sion was justified, based on language inthe Maryland Homeowners Act.

“If you’re having a committee [or]subcommittee task force, it’s prettybroad,” Habeger said.

(April 19, 2018) The annual BerlinClean-Up Day, Saturday, kicks offthe weeklong “Take Pride in BerlinWeek,” April 21-28.“The basic idea is for volunteers to

come to the parks and help us spruceup, clean up, do some planting andmulching, and put in some new play-ground surfacing [to prepare forsummer],” organizer Mary Bohlen,Berlin’s administrative services di-rector, said. “But we also encouragepeople to take a look around theirown neighborhood and see if theycan do some cleanup, help a neigh-bor with a project, or whatevermoves the spirit.” On Berlin Clean-Up Day, April 21,

volunteers can begin signing up at8:30 a.m. at Dr. William Henry Park,Stephen Decatur Park, or Berlin Fallspark. Students can earn servicehours by volunteering. “We have some yard tools avail-

able, but we always encourage peopleto bring their own as well. That waywe always have plenty to go around,”Bohlen said. Volunteers also are needed to help

clean up Hudson Branch, an activity

Bohlen said would not be suitable foryoung children. Heavy clothes andboots are recommended for that ac-tivity. “They’re going to have to get down

in the ditch and there could be someheavy lifting,” she said. “Signup forthat is also at Henry Park,” Volunteer work is scheduled to

finish at 11 a.m., after which SonRiseChurch will provide free lunch forvolunteers at Henry Park. Residents can show off their

Berlin pride by placing a “Take Pridein Berlin Week” yard sign at theirhome or business. For more informa-tion, contact Bohlen at 410-641-4314or mbohlen@berlinmd.gov. “This really is a great place to

work and visit,” Bohlen said. “[TakePride in Berlin Week] is an opportu-nity to do some spring cleaning, andat the same time show your pride inour town.”Additionally, Economic and Com-

munity Development Director IvyWells said a Town of Berlin Nightwas scheduled at Shorebirds stadiumon Tuesday, April 24 at 7:05 p.m.Tickets are $8. “If you haven’t heard, Cal Ripken’s

son is now playing for the Shore-birds, so there’s a good possibilitythat you may get a Cal Ripken sight-ing that night.” Proceeds will be donated to Berlin

Little League.

The town is also promoting partic-ipation in the “Meet Me at the Park”Earth Month campaign to win$20,000.“That is through the National

Parks Association, which we belongto,” Bohlen said. “If you look at someof the cities we’re competing againstpopulation-wise, we’re not doing sogreat, but we can try. That would bea $20,000 grant to use at one ormore of our parks.” Those who make nominations are

entered into a sweepstakes to win aGoPro HERO5 prize pack. The townwith the most nominations at the endof April will receive the funding.For more information, visit

www.meetmeatthepark.org.

Berlin also is awaiting news ofProgram Open Space grant fundingfrom both the state and WorcesterCounty. The Town Council, last month, ap-

proved a parks priority list of proj-ects that included funding requestsand a total price tag of $303,450,spread out over five projects. “I should be receiving an indica-

tion of whether or not the project isapproved [at the state level] really atany time, but then the fundingwouldn’t be available until after thestate passes their 2019 budget,”Bohlen said. She added money from the state

was very likely, but additional countymoney was not a certainty.

Ahoy! Pirate shipmakes landfall atWhite Horse Park

(April 19, 2018) After sitting adrift inthe public works yard for severalmonths, the infamous Ocean Pines pi-rate ship playground this week sailedinto White Horse Park.

Fueled by a donation from the MaryMac Foundation, Inc., the structure wasinstalled last year at the yacht club, butremoved because of safety concerns re-lated to surfacing and fencing surround-ing it, General Manager John Bailey said.

“[Concerns] were not with the equip-ment, but with the fall area and the wayit was fenced in and structured – itwasn’t real good,” Bailey said. “The pi-rate ship itself was fine. It had one looseboard on it and we’ve been doing somecleanup as we’re moving it in [at WhiteHorse Park].

“The functionality of it is safe and wewanted to make the fall area and all ofthat much safer in this location,” headded. “The perimeter around it [at theyacht club] was my concern.”

White Horse Park, off Ocean Park-way, borders the community center andadministration building, and is alsohome to the popular Ocean PinesFarmer’s Market.

Bailey said re-installation began onTuesday. He said the initial desire was tomove the ship to the beach club in OceanCity, where it could have sat on the shoreof the Atlantic Ocean. City setback regu-lations, however, would have requiredthe playground to be installed virtually“in the parking lot,” Bailey said.

“It would have been cool to have thepirate ship at the beach,” Bailey said.“There were two negative aspects aboutthat though. One, you wouldn’t be ableto use it year-round and, two, the practi-cal aspect that we can’t put it in thereanyway.”

He said the Manklin Meadows play-ground was also considered, but it lackedenough space.

Bailey said the ship would replacesome of the older equipment at theWhite Horse Park playground, include amini excavator.

“Parts and pieces of that had beenwelded multiple times to keep it work-ing, so that’s just going to disappear, un-fortunately,” he said. “Being a guy andhaving a boy at one point in time whowas little, he would’ve loved that … butmaybe we’ll look at getting another oneof those later on.”

Bailey said the pirate ship would be afront-and-center-feature at the park andTim McMullen, who oversees the MaryMac Foundation, is “very excited” aboutthe new location.

“I thought this was a good location,”Bailey said. “It adds a new element toWhite Horse Park and it’s a prime loca-tion – everybody will see it. The folkswho willingly donated their money forthis should be pleased.

“We’ll get it in and probably put somecaution tape around it until we’re sureit’s OK and stabilized, and then we’llopen it back up,” he added.

JOSH DAVIS/BAYSIDE GAZETTEAfter briefly docking at the yacht club and then floating into the public works yard, the pirate ship playground sailed into White Horse Park in OceanPines on Tuesday, where it will be a permanent fixture of the busy playground area.

(April 19, 2018) “A Novel Affair,” aFriends of the Berlin Libraryfundraiser, is scheduled today,Thursday, at Sisters in downtownBerlin from 6-9 p.m. Along with live music by Scott

Dustin, finger food, a 50/50 raffleand guest bartenders, Sisters, on 113North Main Street, will donate 20percent of sales to support the newBerlin library on Harrison Avenue.Guest bartenders will include

Berlin Councilman Thom Gulyas,Worcester County States AttorneyCandidate Kris Heiser, and BerlinEconomic and Community Develop-ment Director Ivy Wells.

“I am a bookworm and the libraryis one of my favorite places to go, so Iwas honored to be asked to be a guestbartender for this event, because I’malways all ‘booked up,’” Wells said.“I’m really excited about it and I willpour everyone’s drinks happily.”Harriette Creter, Friends of the

Berlin Library president, helped or-ganize the fundraiser. “We’re also going to have library

mugs for sale and information aboutpurchasing a brick [for the new li-brary], and also information aboutmembership to ‘Friends,’” she said. Mugs are $10, bricks are $100 and

$150, and membership to Friends ofthe Berlin Library, a volunteer groupthat raises money for library facilitiesand services, is $5. The $6.25 million Berlin branch of

the Worcester County Library, ex-pected to open in July, was built to belong-lasting and energy-efficient, an

approach planners say will save tax-payers money in the long run. Thenew building is four times larger thanthe current single-story library onNorth Main Street.Creter said fundraising proceeds

would help pay for additional furni-ture, computers and supplies for thechildren’s area in the new library. “I get excited every time I come

down the street to look at [the new li-brary]. I can’t wait to get in the build-ing,” Creter said. “I’m very excited togo into it and I’m excited for the op-portunity for the library to be able tohave more programs – and to dothem comfortably.” For more information on the

event, search “Berlin LibraryFundraiser” on Facebook. For information on Friends of the

(April 19, 2018) The Ocean PinesElections Committee last Friday ap-proved a motion to ban candidate ad-vertisements from associationpublications. Committee Chairman Steve Habeger

said there is ambiguity about certaincampaign materials in the governmentdocuments.On one hand, the articles of incorpo-

ration state, “the association shall notparticipate in or intervene in (includingthe publishing or distribution of state-ments) any political campaign on behalfof any candidate for public office.”Additionally, Habeger said the ad-

vertising policy for the Ocean Pinesnewsletter prohibits “Advertising con-sidered adversarial, political, religiousor suggestive in nature.”However, two board of director can-

didates bought ads in the summernewsletter last year. “The other candidates had been led

by this committee to believe that suchads were not allowed,” Habeger said.“The situation needs to be clarified to befair for all candidates. “The elections committee unani-

mously feels that the mere act of stand-ing for election in any organization is apolitical act,” he added. “We proposethat, for clarification, the board directthat hence forth advertisements on be-half of candidates standing for electionas a director in the Ocean Pines Associ-ation shall not be permitted in publica-tions of the association.” Director Slobodan Trendic, the com-

mittee liaison, said he was “in full sup-port of the committee’s actions.”“I believe clarity is required and your

motion makes a lot of sense,” he said.“This approach makes it pretty explicitand it’s going to be up to the board toendorse the policy as written … I thinkthe intent is to have this on the agendaat our next regular meeting, which I be-lieve is April 28.”Director Colette Horn, also present

during the committee meeting, said shesupported the motion. “I think your rationale and approach

is well-founded,” she said. Marketing and Public Relations Di-

rector Denise Sawyer was also in support. “I did have questions about this pre-

viously, before it went to publication.Those inquires were brought to the act-ing GM [last year] and before proceed-ing with publication, we were givenapproval to print,” she said. “I thinkhaving it very clear and on the booksmakes it best for both parties.”Committee members voted 4-0 in

favor of the motion with one member,Virginia Sutula, not present. Also during the meeting, the com-

mittee voted 4-0 to approve upcomingelection dates and Habeger presentedfour drafts for discussion: the 2018 let-ter to candidates, the process for draft-ing forum questions, a script toannounce the election vote totals, and ascript for the election validation report. Habeger said the committee will

vote all on four items during its nextmeeting, May 11 at 10 a.m. in the ad-ministration building on 239 OceanParkway.

(April 19, 2018) American Legion,Synepuxent Post #166, named OceanPines Pfc. David Richardson as itsLaw Enforcement Officer of the Year.The award, which especially takes

into account heroic acts, is presentedannually and celebrates officers whoexceed their duty requirements anddemonstrate a distinct pattern ofcommunity engagement.Richardson is also the recipient of

a Silver Star Award for 2017. The award stems from his han-

dling of a domestic complaint. Ac-cording to the incident report, asuspect was identified as having as-saulted several individuals with aknife. The suspect, who had barri-caded himself inside a residence, wasseen by Richardson holding a knifeand refusing to cooperate with police. Units of the Maryland State Police

and Worcester County Sheriff’s Office

responded to assist atthe scene. WhileOcean Pines PoliceChief Dave Masseywas engaged in verbalconversation with thesuspect, Richardsonand other units madeforcible entry into the

home. Richardson tackled the armed sus-

pect and was able to take the knifeaway. The suspect was then takeninto custody, uninjured, and chargedwith first-degree assault. For riskinghis life, and not resorting to deadlyforce, Richardson was awarded thedepartment’s highest honor.“Pfc. Richardson is a wonderful ex-

ample of the courageous police offi-cers in our department,” Massey said.“He never complains and is not afraidto step up when the situation de-mands it. It is officers like Pfc.Richardson who contribute to mak-ing Ocean Pines the safest commu-nity, for its size, in the State ofMaryland.”

(April 19, 2018) Residents of Bur-ley Street in Berlin were not happyabout a proposed residential subdivi-sion discussed during the planningcommission meeting last Wednesday.

Planner Bob Hand of R D Hand &Associates Inc. described the pro-posal as a four-lot subdivision onBurley Street, just shy of two acres,with one shared “serpentine” drive-way accessible by all. One of the lots,33 Burley Street, has a home on it al-ready.

Residents said the proposal wasnot analogous to the neighborhood,currently made up of homes set justoff the street and spaced close to-gether, with deep backyards backingup onto Stephen Decatur Park andbordering the tennis courts.

Planners said the proposed newconstructions would instead be builtstaggering away from the street andpartially disguised by landscaping.

Planning Commission memberNewt Chandler called the concept“bastardized … where people lookinto other people’s back yards build-ing houses,” and wondered if twolarger homes would be more desir-able.

“I don’t think people would want

to live like that – I wouldn’t want tobuy lot three with lot four looking inmy backyard,” he said. “I think youcould get more money selling two biglots.”

Resident George DeGroft said,“The whole idea is totally out of char-acter for the neighborhood.”

“It’s a nice place to raise a family,”he said. “This doesn’t strike me as de-velopmentally friendly to the smalltown idea of Berlin.”

Resident Patricia Dufendach saidwhen she purchased her home shewas told subdivisions were not per-mitted on Burley Street.

“This is a subdivision. It’s named asubdivision in the paperwork. I don’tknow when this changed,” she said.“When did the community have anopportunity to weigh into whether ornot it’s a subdivision?”

She added residents were notmade aware of an easement appar-

ently granted to property co-ownerJohn Collins regarding the “paperstreet” known as Commodore Alleyor Commodore Lane that borders thepark.

“It’s a street that everybody walksup and down to the park on fromBurley Street, because it’s a publicstreet,” Dufendach said. “We’ve nothad a chance to weigh in on that.

“[The development] is not in char-acter of our neighborhood,” she con-tinued. “We want to be sure that all ofthese things are covered, because wehave some very strict details abouthow subdivisions are supposed to beand I just want to know that we fol-lowed all these rules.”

Residents say proposal notin character of neighborhoodResident Jennifer Neeb said she is

worried about setting a new prece-dent on the street. “If this is the new position, then

we’ll take down our garage, create aneasement, and propose to buildsomething in our back lot,” Neebsaid. “If everybody on Burley Streetthat owned their back lot did that … Ijust think you’re losing what wewanted. “We had … children playing base-

ball on the big lot behind us. Ourneighbors’ children play lacrosse andwhen the ball crossed over they useour yard – it’s one big lacrosse field,”she continued. “I don’t think this is inthe best interest of the residents onBurley Street.”Husband Barry Neeb joked he

agreed with everything his wife said,“Because I don’t want to get beatenwhen I get home.” “The bottom line is, you’re getting

ready to open Pandora’s Box. Theidea of a subdivision on Burley Streetis frightening to me,” he said. “It’s abeautiful street. Yes, it’s kind of pecu-liar that [the homes] are all close tothe road with huge backyards – that’sa selling feature to me. That’s why webought the house and we have uti-lized that backyard since our kidswere little.“To be able to now, if you so

choose, to petition you all to have asubdivision will completely changethe change the character of thatstreet,” he added. “I’m not opposed tothem making a profit off of this pieceof land … [but] I do stand in the wayof subdivisions on Burley Street.” Resident Diane Frederick’s con-

cerns were about the stormwater im-pact of any new development. Shesaid the owner of 26 Burley Streetwanted to build a mother-in-lawapartment, but was denied and in-stead built an addition. “When they did that addition, it

raised the ground level of that entirepiece of property and now my lotfloods,” Frederick said. “What you al-lowed them to do at 26 has had a neg-ative affect on the topography of myland and I now have water in mybasement constantly and the wholeback portion of my lot floods. “I don’t know what this might do

[to neighboring properties] … or if itwill have any southerly flow into myproperty,” she added. “The decisions you make will im-

pact how water flows on BurleyStreet,” Dufendach said. Because only a concept plan was

presented, Planning Director DaveEngelhart said there was “no motionto be made” during the meeting.“The next step would be that they

prepare a plat for your approval,” hesaid to the commission members. “Or disapproval,” Commission

Chairman Chris Denny said. Property co-owner Chris Davis

said he would take all of the resident

opinions into consideration. “You’ve heard it from the neigh-

bors – this is a unique street, whichhas a consistent design plan on eachlot,” Commission member PeteCrosby said. “This would have an im-pact, on my opinion, on thestreetscape of Burley Street thatwould be significant. And it alsocould set a bad precedent.”Collins did not agree and said one

of the empty lots would “only allowfor a small house.”“And that house has to has a drive-

way [and] has to have a garage tomaintain the character of Berlin,” hesaid. “My contention is that if youhave two houses up on Burley Streetit’s going to be very tight and all theguests are going to be parking on thestreet and that’s where the problem isgoing to arise. “My contention is we move these

in the back and landscape the front,”he continued. “They’ll have the open-ing area – a field with more trees likethey’ve had all their lives – and theywon’t even know those houses are inthe back.“I think this is a good plan for the

Town of Berlin. I think this is a goodplan for the street of Burley Street,”Collins said. “That’s why we’re here –to try to make it better.”

(April 19, 2018) Berlin Economicand Community Development Di-rector Ivy Wells is working on sev-eral promotions to keep peoplemoving downtown.For visitors, Wells has ideas for

both children and adults.The first, geared toward children,

will be called “Berlin Hide and Seek.” “Kids basically walk around town

and they look for some of theseitems, and they have to determinewhere they are,” she said during aTown Council meeting last Monday.“It gets them to look up instead oflooking down at their phones.” Checklists will be available at

downtown shops and can be turnedin for prizes, Wells said. “It’s probably just going to be a

blowup beach ball with a Berlin logoon it – something cute like that,” shesaid. The second, “Berlin Shop, Search

and Solve,” is aimed at grownups. “It’s like a ‘Wheel of Fortune’

[game] and letters will be put in thewindows,” she said. “People walkaround, they try to solve the puzzle,and then the businesses are pitching

in … there will be a drawing everymonth and the winner will win‘Berlin Bucks’ [good at downtownstores].”Wells is also tackling parking con-

cerns in Berlin, but said there is notso much a “parking problem” asthere is “a walking problem.”“With the [new] way-finding

signs, hopefully that helps solvesome of that,” she said. “I think whathappens is … as a new person com-ing into town, you automaticallylook for signs on where to go forparking, and if a parking lot is full,people are just driving around be-cause there’s no direction for themwhere else to go.”She said a new sign would be

placed near Tripoli Street, pointingtoward Stephen Decatur Park, whichhas ample free parking. Using a Fit-bit, Wells said she measured about500 steps from the park to down-town. “We’re going to have a sign at De-

catur Park that says it’s only 520steps to get to downtown,” she said.“I’m also going to think of some cuteways – almost like a game – for peo-ple to be able to get from DecaturPark to downtown.” Further addressing parking,

Wells encouraged downtown busi-ness owners and their employees topark in the St. Paul’s Church parkinglot on Church Street.

Berlin Briefs

(April 19, 2018) The Berlin Mayor andCouncil discussed the following itemsduring a public meeting at Town Hall lastMonday:

Town newsletterTown Administrator Laura Allen said

the first “Berlin Bulletin,” an electronicnewsletter sent to residents and propertyowners, was issued last week.

“The idea here is to provide immedi-ate information on a monthly basis ofwhat’s going on in town and have a linkto the press releases, save the date in-formation, and updates on projects,”Allen said.

“Right now we’re working on a sub-scription page for the website and you’llbe hearing more about this later. If you’reinterested in subscribing and you haven’talready received it, just let us know andwe’ll get you on the list.”

Swearing inThe council swore in several new

Berlin board and commission membersappointed during a previous meeting.

Appointed were: Woody Bunting, JoeMoore, Jay Knerr and Doug Parks to theBoard of Appeals; Mary Moore, Norman(Nornie) Bunting and Alan Palmer (alter-nate) to the Historic District Commission;Phyllis Purnell and David (D.J.) Lockwood(alternate) to the Planning Commission;and Tony Bowen for the Board of Super-visors of Elections.

“We’re so happy for all of you who arereturning and, for those of you who arebeginning a new adventure, we really ap-preciate it,” Mayor Gee Williams said.“[Volunteering] is something that makessmall towns work so well.

“I just want to thank you and congrat-ulate you – all of you,” he continued. “Itmeans a lot to the mayor and council andto the citizens.”

Fair Housing MonthAdministrative Services Director Mary

Bohlen introduced a proclamation desig-nating April as “Fair Housing Month.” Shesaid the designation, an annual practiceduring the first meeting in April, is re-quired for the town to qualify for “certaingrants and funding opportunities.”

The council unanimously approved theproclamation with one member, Council-man Dean Burrell, absent.

Williams also read a proclamationdesignating April 21-28 as “Take Pride inBerlin Week.” He said the designationwas five years old and kicks off each yearwith Berlin Clean-Up Day on the Saturdayclosest to Earth Day.

“There is a lot of pride initiated by thecitizens that we all benefit from,” Williamssaid. “Many people make that their daynow to clean up their backyard … basi-cally, people help each other out.”

Tennis updateElectric Utilities Director Tim Lawrence

said his department is continuing workon tennis court improvements atStephen Decatur Park.

He said Aerial Crane was hired to drillsix holes on the perimeter of the courtsand new LED lighting was installed.Lawrence said the electric departmentassembled the lights and control boxes,and Aerial Crane lifted and set the poles.

The lighting system, he said, was a so-phisticated design created by the samecompany that installed lights for PurdueStadium in Salisbury.

Lawrence said Terra Firma would finishasphalt work on the court and another con-tractor would bore holes under the lightpoles, where power lines would be run.

Once finished, three different buttonsspread out around the courts would con-trol the lights, he said.

“If you’re anywhere on the court playingand the strobe light sends out a warningthat the lights are about to go out, you canpush any one of those three buttons andreactivate the lights,” he said. “Once it’s fin-

ished, it will be a great asset to the town.”

Open for businessPlanning Director Dave Engelhart said

the permanent bathrooms at Dr. WilliamHenry Park are officially open.

“To get it over the goal line, we had areal team effort – Tim’s electric people,public works, water resources – we hada lot of help from Mr. [Jeff] Fleetwood andI’m glad we could get it open before thewarm weather,” he said.

Hours of operation are currently 8a.m. to 8 p.m. Engelhart said thosecould be extended during the summer,when the park basketball courts areused often during the evenings.

Just walkEngelhart said he recently met with

Worcester County Health Department of-ficials to discuss a Worcester CountyWalkability Plan, to be submitted to theState of Maryland.

He said planners came up with a draftdocument “and that should go out shortly.”

“The main influence for us would bethe marketability of it, getting that publicoutreach through the schools, possibly alink with the hospital [and] more walkingevents in town,” he said.

He said assessment of sidewalks andwalking trails connected to town parkswould be included.

“They have some marketing cardsand brochures, ‘Little-known Places toWalk in Worcester County,’” Engelhartsaid. “It’s an older document [and] a newone is going to be coming out, so we’ll tryand … make sure everything we have ison there.”

Please send all letters and other editorial submissions to editor@baysidegazette.com by 5 p.m. Monday.

The Ocean Pines Association town meeting tonight (Thurs-day) is an excellent idea ... going into the session. Whether itwill be perceived that way after it takes place remains an un-known.

The success of this gathering will depend on how the audi-ence responds to the opportunity to communicate directlywith the board of directors and the administration.

As there is no such thing as universal admiration for anygoverning body or official, it’s a certainly that some audiencemembers will pose awkward questions, air complaints vigor-ously and criticize strenuously. That’s just human nature.

To some, however, there’s nothing more enjoyable thantrying to disparage that which appears to be successful justfor the sake of knocking it down a level or two in the public’seyes.

That’s the kind of thing that could result in placing thistown meeting on the endangered species list, even though thewillingness of officials to face the public without the protec-tions of regular meeting rules and procedures is admirableand should be encouraged. That’s participatory democracy atits best, in principle, and we hope it is in practice as well.

It should be disclosed that one of the discussion’s moder-ators will be Elaine Brady, who is employed by this paper, butwill be acting in her capacity as a member of the Communi-cations Committee. We encourage audience members to becivil and as courteous as possible with the moderators not be-cause of this affiliation, but because it’s the right thing to do... assuming that the public would like to see it done again.

Here’s hoping that all goes well and that this is just the firstinstallment of a series of similar sessions to be held through-out the year.

Town meeting tonight

LettersThe NRA: Layinga myth to restEditor,

It’s come to my attentionthat, in this newspaper,there’s been an ongoingback-and-forth about gunsand gun control in America– and I felt the need to ad-dress something mentionedin two of the pro-gun controlletters. Mainly the ever-per-sistent myth of the NationalRifle Association’s funding.

The NRA’s tax returnscan shed some light on this.

The 2016 filing is cur-rently the most recent oneavailable (and can be foundonline), but the previousyears are up as well. In thatyear, membership duesmade up 44.6 percent of itsrevenue.

Its next largest chunkcomes from private contri-butions, which include do-nations from firearmcompanies and companiesthat make accessories forfirearms. I will discuss towhat extent in a moment. In2016, this made up 33.9 per-cent of their revenue.

As a note, 2016 was anelection year and privatecontributions always swellin election years. For exam-ple, in 2015, this numberwas only 28.2 perecent.

Then comes advertising –

including the NRA’s manymagazines such as AmericanRifleman and AmericanHunter – at 7.1 percent.

Fourth were program fees(from its various trainingclasses) at 4.8 percent. Thelast significant contributorsare royalties at 4.5 percentand sales (the NRA has itsown store selling memora-bilia amongst other things)at 3.9 percent.

Assuming not a singlepenny of the private contri-butions were made by indi-viduals, 54.1 percent of allfunding comes directly fromits constituent members –not corporations.

Which begs the nextquestion – what percentageof “private contributions”come from gun companies?

The long and the short ofit is – it’s difficult to say.However, the Violence Pol-icy Center, a nonprofit or-ganization that advocates forgun control, did a study ti-tled “Blood Money – Howthe Gun Industry Bankrollsthe NRA” which is availableonline.

I should hope the titlemakes it clear that this is an(obviously) unbiased source.

Released in 2011, thestudy concluded that, “Since2005, corporations have con-tributed between $19.8 mil-lion and $52.6 million to the

NRA as detailed by its Ringof Freedom corporate givingprogram. The vast majorityof funds – 74 percent – con-tributed to the NRA from“corporate partners” aremembers of the firearms in-dustry: companies involvedin the manufacture or sale offirearms or shooting-relatedproducts. Contributions tothe NRA from the firearmsindustry since 2005 total be-tween $14.7 million and$38.9 million.”

Problematically for theVPC, the total private contri-butions during the span ofthat study were $333 mil-lion. This study suggests, atmost, 11.7 percent of theNRA’s private donations(not total revenue) camefrom the “firearm industry.”

To put this in perspective,in 2005 the NRA received$76 million in membershipdues alone – nearly doublethe amount of corporatecontributions this studyclaimed they received over asix-year period.

These facts were carefullyomitted from the VPC’s study.

What’s even more inter-esting is that the VPCcounted donations made byMidwayUSA’s NRA Round-Up program – where pur-chasers could voluntarilychoose to round up their

See LETTERS Page 21

April 19, 2018 Bayside Gazette Page 21

order to the next dollar and submitthe difference to the NRA – as “cor-porate contributions.”

It did the same thing with “Add aBuck” programs in which individualswere asked to donate a dollar to theNRA when they were checking out –in the same way that McDonald’soften asks if you’d like to donate adollar to the Ronald McDonaldHouse.

These are, technically, corporatecontributions, but they are actuallypaid by individuals.

It does not surprise me that theVPC has not since conducted furtherstudies into this.

There is another problem with this“shill” myth – history does not agreewith it. What happens when a guncompany crosses the NRA? AskSmith and Wesson.

On March 17, 2000, Smith andWesson (via its then owner, Tomkinsplc) made an agreement with Presi-dent Clinton under which it imple-mented changes in the design anddistribution of its firearms (followingthe President’s desired gun controlmeasures) in return for a government“preferred buying program” to offsetthe loss of revenue from the expectedboycott.

The NRA-organized boycott wasbeyond “expected.” By December, thecompany’s stock fell to 19 cents pershare. On May 11, 2001 Saf-T-Ham-mer Corporation acquired the com-pany for a mere $15 million – afraction of the $112.5 million origi-nally paid by Tomkins plc. They alsoassumed $30 million in debt and im-mediately denounced any and allagreements made by the previousowners.

When gun companies oppose theNRA’s members, they go bankrupt.This is not surprising.

Millions of Americans voluntarilypay the NRA to represent their views– and when the NRA comes back andinforms them of companies actingcontrary to those views, they boycotten masse.

Remember, for every person thatpays dues, there are many others whodo not or cannot financially supportthe NRA – but that doesn’t mean theydon’t agree with them.

The National Rifle Association ispatently not a shill for gun compa-

nies. It’s the voice of millions ofAmericans.

Furthermore, the position that theNRA is funded by gun companies –and is, therefore, suspect – is intellec-tually dishonest in itself.

It assumes that a corporationcould have no other interest in sup-porting American civil rights than tobolster profits, rather than, perhaps,entertaining the notion that peoplewho own and run firearm companiesmay have entered into the industrybecause of their love of firearms.

It also ignores the obvious ques-tion – why should we care?

If a gun company supports theSecond Amendment, and providesvalid reasons for doing so, then thosereasons must be defeated intellectu-ally for the opposing position to haveany merit. It doesn’t matter if theymake money selling guns – if they’reright, they’re right.

For example, if major mediagroups donated money to protect theFirst Amendment, would we discounttheir message because they stood tomake money off freedom of thepress? I should certainly hope not.

So, why won’t this narrative goaway?

Partly because it’s been repeatedso often that many think it’s true.Partly because it’s terrifying to someto recognize the NRA’s real power hasalways come from the sheer numberof motivated people supporting it.And, partly because, when you can’tattack the message, you attack themessenger.

By labeling the NRA a “shill,” theiropposition tries to cast doubt on theirarguments without actually facingthem.

In debate, this is known as an “adhominem” attack. An attack on theperson or people holding a viewpoint,rather than the viewpoint itself.

It is usually made by people des-perate to defend a position that can-not be defended logically. When youcan’t argue against what someone issaying, quite frankly, there is nothingyou can do but sling mud and hope itsticks.

Please, rise above mudslinging.Let’s have an honest debate wherethe truth, not oft-repeated myth, iswhat counts.

DON’T FOAL AROUNDEarly Friday morning, April 6, N2BHS-AL (Ms. Macky) gave birth to a sorrel foal. The new foal, N2BHS-ALQ, and band live year-round in the very busy developed area and campgrounds. For this reason,the National Park Service expressly reminds visitors that it is essential to remain a minimum of 40 feet away from the wild horses at all times. N2BHS-ALQ will learn how to interact with the environmentfrom Ms. Macky and other members of its band. Seventy percent of foals in the National Seashore are born in April, May and June, but it is not uncommon for foals to be born during any month of theyear. A mare will be very protective of her new foal and it is vitally important for their well-being that visitors give them, and all of the wild horses, plenty of space.

There is something so satisfying inwatching a student cure meat andseafood for the first time. I remember

fondly when Icured my firstpiece of fish in1984, and it stillamazes meabout as muchas my vacuum-packer does tothis very day.There’s justsomething somystical aboutscience in thekitchen to a

mind like mine.I first cured fish at a restaurant in

Annapolis, serving it on the Sundaybrunch buffet. We would start thesalmon on Friday and let it go untilSunday, and it was always a hit, alongwith the whole roasted pig. I still re-member a self-proclaimed and proudSamoan family that would come in onoccasion, and the whole family wasimpressive in stature. Needless tosay, whenever they did come in, I (asa scrawny 6-foot 2-inch, 140-poundstick) would try to portion out theroasted pig, but one-by-one theywould laugh and say “come on, bro …more than that.” It got to the pointthat I would just hand the tongs andknife to them and they would artfullydismantle the beast and eat like roy-alty.

It was here where I learned how tosmoke marlin, tuna, bluefish, troutand salmon. Luckily, it is also where Ilearned proper smoking techniquesfor anything else that we could pushinto a 700-pound commercial smoker.

There is just no replacement for acommercially built smoker, and thedifference is the smoky nuance thatmakes a dish delicious versus the“smoke burp,” as I call it, caused byover-smoking something. You see,our bodies can’t digest smoke. If youuse too much, you end up with acrid,cigarette-tasting meats that rewardyou with disgusting belches that dolittle to convince your loved one to ac-company you to any sort of smoke-house again. What your body can’tdigest, it will expel and oftentimes itwill do so in the form of gas, whetherit’s out of the attic or the basement, ifyou know what I mean.

Likewise with curing, it can andoften is overdone. Too much salt, ortoo much time being leached dry bythe hygroscopic curing agents, andyour finished product will be a saltlick with the bite of shoe leather. Itjust isn’t good.

When smoking and curing, it is agood idea to have ratios in your head.Not only will it make your life easier,

but it will also leave you with a moreconsistent product. When your guestscome to know you for certain things,then you can start playing aroundand deviating from the classics, aslong as you still have said classics onhand for those who may not be as ad-venturous as are we.

Too often, cooks and chefs “wingit” and the customer is left in thisstrange guessing game as to what isgoing on with the food, and what theyare going to get for dinner tonight.But even pushing this aside; from afinancial standpoint, it is always agood thing to control your recipesand food cost. In an industry wheremargins are razor thin to begin with,everything must be well-ordered andmaintained with at least some sem-blance of regulation.

So from a financial and culinarypoint of view, it is critical when youare brining, curing or marinating. Thesalt, sugar and/or acids denature theproteins with which they come in con-tact and the meat/fish will completelychange in texture and flavor. If youleave chicken breast in a high-acid(think vinegar or lemon) marinadetoo long, it will feel like rubber. You’ve

just lost that batch of yard bird.In the same bent, over-curing a

piece of salmon will have the sameeffect, as mentioned earlier. Assuch, it is important to find yourmagic ratio and practice, practice,practice.

And your first batch may not beperfect, but that’s normal. You haveto balance the ratio, time and envi-ronment. Take notes, and perfectyour recipe to your liking. And maybeyou’ll be as excited as we food nerdsare when we do this stuff.

Cured Salmonmakes 2 sides

2 filets fresh salmon, skin on andbones removed

25 percent of fish weight in sugar25 percent of fish in kosher salt2 Tbsp. Freshly cracked black

pepperHandful of fresh dillHandful of fresh herbs of your

choosing CheeseclothRinse and lay out the cheesecloth

so that you can roll everything upwhen you’re done

Combine the salt, sugar and pep-per and set aside until ready to go

Lay the fish filets skin-side up andsprinkle some salt cure on it, spread-ing evenly

Place the filets flesh-side up on thecheesecloth

Top with the remaining salt cureand herbs, ensuring that it all stayson the fish

Carefully roll the fish in thecheesecloth so that the two fish filetsare facing each other flesh-to-flesh

Flatten them out and lay on a sheetpan that will fit flat in a refrigerator

Lightly weight it down with an-other sheet pan and refrigerate for 24hours for a lightly cured, less firmflesh, and up to 48 hours for a firmer,more heavily cured fish

Slice thinly on the bias, removingthe fish from the skin. Serve withbagels, cream cheese, homemadechive crème fraiche, diced onions,hard-boiled eggs and the like
