Here we go! This weekend marks what we consider the first of our summer weekends! Spring Training is in the books. We anticipate most all Dewey regulars to join us this weekend for what looks to be an incredible weather weekend ahead. The beaches are completely new, 3 times the size they were a year ago. Look forward to seeing so many returning faces to enjoy all we have in store for your Summer 2012!

 This past week The Starboard hosted the Class of 2012 from Loyola College in Baltimore. It was six straight nights of a packed Starboard! Everyone here enjoyed watching these well behaved kids enjoy this special time in their lives. With graduation this weekend, all of us here at The Starboard wish them well and thank each of you Loyola grads for making The Starboard such a huge part of everyday you spent here in Dewey!

Several of us are heading for one final trip outside the town limits of Dewey Beach this Thursday night, to our partner restaurant/bar in Baltimore, Portside Tavern on Canton Square. From 7pm till 10pm, we plan to be hanging out with plenty of what cards we have remaining. Portside has changed up their menu and is now offering some fantastic options featuring mussels several different ways. $5 Crushes & Bombs, $2 Bud, Bud Light, and Natty Lights and $.50 wings. We would love to see you out for a couple of beers whether or not you need a new VIP card to prepare for Memorial Day Weekend. We will kidnap Megan of The Starboard, since she lives in Baltimore during the winter, and bring her to help hand out the cards.

Dewey council should take its own advice
Tuesday Editorial - May 15, 2012
Dewey Beach Town Council might want to take its own advice and turn down the volume.
The council last week passed a revised noise ordinance and discussed one that would allow bars to expand their premises for certain events.
The noise ordinance passed 3-0, with two council members, including Anna Legates, abstaining and calling for more research. Anyone who knows Dewey knows that if Anna doesn't have the answers, no one does.
The ordinance restricts noise permitted overnight to the level of an indoor conversation, clearly a problem for popular establishments that for decades have attracted visitors to Dewey Beach.
People who purchase property have a right to expect a reasonable amount of peace and quiet. At the same time, anyone who purchases property in Dewey Beach should certainly be aware the town is famous for attracting great bands – sometimes dozens of bands and performers during a single weekend.
Town council represents the voters of Dewey Beach, but it must also recognize the town's most famous establishments have been part of the Dewey Beach way of life since before the town was incorporated.
Besides limiting noise, the town is also considering a proposal to regulate the number of times a business could expand for charitable events. Opponents say the proposed measure could result in scores of expansions that would ruin the off-season for residents.
In reality, only one bar has requested more expansions than are already allowed, and that business has promised extra police protection, portable restrooms and trash pickup to offset any expenses the town would incur. The event that sparked the debate, a breast cancer 5K fundraiser, drew hundreds of people to the town in October, a significant boost to town business in the shoulder season.
Opposition to Dewey's bars galvanized over Dewey Beach Enterprises' plan to redevelop the Ruddertowne property. It now seems opposition to that project has morphed into opposition to the bars and businesses that define the town – and if there's anything history shows, it's that those businesses will defend their interests in court. That's an expensive and counterproductive avenue for solving problems.
It's time for Dewey Beach Town Council to turn down the conflict and work with the business community to find ways to ensure balance, allowing businesses to prosper while protecting the rights of property owners.
