`OCEAN CITY (GDF) —- The
`president of the Delmarva Downs
`Raceway said this week that he will
`be conducting a ‘hard reevaluation"
`in mid-February to determine
`whether
`it's feasible to continue
`simulcasting from the facility during
`the non-live racing season.
`Dennis Dowd, who is also the pres-
`ident of the Rosecroft Raceway in
`Fort Washington, said that Delmar-
`vn Downs has seen a drop of around
`20 percent over the last couple of
`weeks in numbers of people attend- -.
`ing simulcasting events -— some-
`thing he believes is related to the
`addition of slot machines at
`the
`Delaware-based tracks of Dover

`Down The Road
`BERLIN (GDF) ~— While the
`repair work on Rt. 90 has already
`started and is expected to be com-
`pleted by early next year, the same
`cannot be said for the proposed
`dualization of Rt. 113.
`Nor is it anticipated that the lat-
`ter will begin any time soon.
`In a recently released six-year
`transportation plan,
`it was
`announced that 51.5 million has
`been earmarked for a section ofRt.
`90 from Rt. 589 to the Assawoman
`Bay. Half of the project, from the
`St. Martin's River to Assawoman
`Bay,
`is already underway and
`should be finished by May, while
`the remainder will be completed
`by May 1997, said Liz Kalinowski,
`spokesperson for
`the Maryland
`Department of Transportation.
`“We want to get (each section)
`done before the beach traflic comes
`down," Kalinowski said.
`A total of $1.4 million was also
`set aside in the six-year plan for
`engineering work on the proposed
`dualization of Rt. 113,, which

`‘We are breaking even right now,"
`Dowd said. “If the trend continues,
`and we lose money... We might be
`better oil’ not operating at all.‘
`Currently, Dowd said he's waiting
`to see how the revenue from simul-
`casting will be once Delmarva Downs
`starts simulcasting races from Rose-
`croft, which will resume live racing
`on Feb. 1 and will continue it through
`Dec. 21.
`Currently, it costs around $3,000 a
`day to run the simulcesting facility at
`Delmarva Downs, and that includes
`employing 19 people at an average of
`$10 per hour, Dowd said. If the facili-
`ty continues to break even, it will
`rernain open as a ‘service to the com-
`munity,' he said.
`'
`Delmarva Downs begins its live
`racing on May 24, and ends it on Sept.
`1. The track would have simulcasting
`during its live racing season, regard-
`less ofwhether it had it the rest of the
`year, Dowd said.

`Legal Aid
`For Guards
`OCEAN CITY (GDF) — Delegate
`Bennett Bozman said this weelt that
`he is drafting a bill that will grant
`municipal lifeguards immunity from
`lawsuits for actions thatare done in a
`_'good faith’ manner.
`Currently, there are laws that pro-
`tect police oflicers and firefighters
`under such conditions, he said.
`“Right now in Maryland we have a
`‘good samaritan' immunity, but it's
`really questionable whether
`life-
`guards fall under that category," said
`Ocean City Solicitor Guy Ayres, who
`discussed establishing a state law
`with Del. Bozman.
`“We've just had a number ofcases
`tbuthave involved lifeguards," Ayres
`added.
`The move to grant
`lifeguards
`immunity in “good faith" situations
`was spurred on by an incident that
`occurred a couple of years ago in
`which a lifeguard applicant drowned
`during a lifesaving training session
`held at an indoor pool.
`The lawn,
`the Mayor and City
`Council, as well as the two lifeguards
`present at
`the scene, were sued,
`Ayres said. Research showed that the
`town and the Mayor and City Council
`were immune From the suit, but that
`the two lifeguards weren't, he said.
`"We won the case," Ayres suid,"but
`we weren't able to get it dismissed
`out because of (a lack of) immunity.”
`lfthejudgement had gone against
`the lifeguards, the town would have
`been responsible for paying for the
`damages, Ayres noted.
`Bozman said his proposal would
`cover only those lifeguards hired by a
`municipal government.
`lf the immunity granted to life-
`guards is similar to that of police
`officers and firefighters,
`then it
`would protect them in cases of"ordin~
`ary negligence," Ayres said. That
`would cover cases where a lifeguard
`is proceeding to save someone’: life,
`and inadvertently may injure the
`victim.
`An example might be saving a per-
`son from drowning, and, in the pro
`cess ofperf'ormingCPR,thelifeguard
`has to execute actions that-could
`cause paralysis to the victim, Ayres
`said.
`George Schoepf, captain of the
`Ocean City lifeguards, said he sup-
`ports lhe legislation, noting that life-
`guards “put their life on the line"
`when they are attempting to save a
`life. C)

`
`To Cost Big
`
`Berlin Flushes First Proposal
`BERLIN (GDP) — The new Ste-
`phen Dccatur Middle School will
`have a septic system.
`ln about 15 years it will have to be
`replaced at the cost of several thou-
`sand dollars, said County Commis-
`sioner James Barrett The one atSte-
`phen Decatur High School will likely
`need to be replaced in about 10 years.
`lf the Town of Berlin had accepted
`the county‘: proposal and decided to
`extend sewer and water service to
`both schools, the county's taxpayers
`would never have had to worry again
`about paying those expenses, Barrett
`said. In the case of the new middle
`school, it would have saved the coun—'
`ty about a half million dollars, he
`said.
`However, on 'l\iesday night the
`Berlin Town Council effectively
`killed any chance that will happen
`when it voted 4~l. to ask the Worces~
`ter County Commissioners to come
`up with another piece ofland itwould
`sell to the town ifit's serious about
`wanting Berlin to supply water and
`sewer to the middle school and Ste~
`phen Decatur High School.
`Worcester County had proposed
`selling the town 180 acres ofland on
`Harrison Road for $1 in exchange for
`Berlin being the water and sewer
`provider to the schools. The land was
`being eyed for spray irrigation use,
`which would enable Berlin to expand
`its wastewater capacity.
`‘They had (the septic plan) all
`done,‘ said Barrett. "The only reason‘
`that this was brought in, at the last
`minute, was that it makes sense to
`get both schools on the city system
`forever,"
`Dr. Terrance Greenwood, superin-
`tendent of schools for Worcester
`County, said it will cost around

`
`Students Earn Anti-Violence Credits
`
`SALISBURY —— Many tri-county
`area middle and high school students
`will soon be able to move a step closer
`to graduation by helping the Li fe Cri-
`sis Center.
`Life Crisis Center exemtive Direc-
`tor David Delehanty says a $2,725
`state grant from t.he Governors Com-
`mission on Service Learning will
`enable the agency to take its anti-
`violence message into area schools
`and help students accumulate com-
`munity service hours required for
`graduation.
`"Our goal is to help prevent vio-
`lence in our community by educating
`our youth about date rape, domestic
`
`violence and community violence in
`general. We want to give them the
`skills needed to identify, avoid and/or
`respond to potentially explosive situ-
`ations. We can also provide them
`with concrete opportunities to help
`victims of sexual assault and abuse."
`Life Crisis clinical director Diane
`Brissey says the agency and area
`school representatives are currently
`working out the details of the prog-
`ram which could be ofspecial help to
`victims ofdomestic violence and their
`children. "lf'all goes as planned, stu-
`dents could get. involved with such
`activities as tutoring, planning activ-
`ities for the children, or holding flow-
`
`er sales to support the Safe Home
`which is scheduled to open this
`spring. The list of possibilities is
`endless."
`Brissey says the Life Crisis Center
`hopes to reach some 200-300\Vorces-
`ter, Wicomico, and Somerset county
`students with the program which
`runs through August.
`The Life Crisis Center, a United‘
`Way member agency, is the only non-
`profit, charitableorganization of its
`kind on the lower Eastern Shore that
`provides round-theclock telephone
`counseling, advocacy and referrals
`for victims ofdomestic violence, sex-
`ual assault and sexual abuse.

`phin mortality in the course of tuna
`fishing,’ said Gilchrest. "It. is time to
`reward those ell'ort.5, and encourage
`'l'ishing in the most ecologically
