(March 8, 2013) With frightening similarity to last fall’s Hurricane Sandy, an early spring storm wracked Worcester County and the resort area Wednesday, leaving tens of thousands without power and keeping emergency crews busy through the night into Thursday morning.

As of press time Thursday, more than 9,000 Choptank Electric customers in Worcester County were still without power, according to the cooperative’s Web site. From roughly 3-8 p.m. Wednesday, the entirety of Ocean Pines was de-energized due to a number of hazards.

Massive downed trees in Berlin caused 800 to 900 outages within the town limits, according to Electrical Utility Director Tim Lawrence.

Delmarva Power representative Matt Likovich reported a peak of 6,000 outages in Wor-cester County, 2,900 of them in Ocean City.

(March 8, 2013) The reportedly widespread economic panic that gripped city businesses last week after it was suggested that a lucrative cheerleading competition might not be returning to the resort because of changes to the convention center, appears to have largely subsided.

City officials reported this week that the “Reach the Beach” event will be staying in Ocean City for the foreseeable future.

Despite large vehicles being warned to stay off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, a tractor-trailer crossing the span tipped over, resting precariously against a railing and causing the bridge to be closed for hours.

Winds, initially predicted to be 50 to 60 miles per hour, reportedly reached 70 mph speeds.

In downtown Ocean City, however, flooding was even more of a concern, with water levels rivaling the October storm. The Ocean City Police Department advised motorists

tween city officials and representatives from cheerleading promoter Epic Brands, “We had the opportunity to discuss the [convention center’s] new auditorium and arts center, and their ability to utilize the space,” Mayor Rick Meehan said.

“I think they feel now that they can be assured that they will have a great spot for the future.”

Further, the design of the convention center’s soon-to-bebuilt performing arts stage will be tweaked to make the space more usable for the cheer event

(March 8, 2013) Despite some signs of reconciliation earlier this year, the Ocean City Council will be reinstating its controversial legislative committees without the participation of two dissenting members, likely ensuring that the work of the council’s sub-bodies will continue to be politically charged for the foreseeable future.

Council members Brent

Ashley and Margaret Pillas have bowed-out of the new committee and sub-commission system. Although Pillas was absent from this week’s council session, Ashley again reiterated his stance – and the stance of the former council majority – that such a legislative system would allow unelected interest groups to steer policy before it was heard by the general body.

SHA to install ‘experimental’ signage along highway this month “What we’re seeing in looking at the accident reports is pedestrians getting hit in the crosswalk when they’re walking with the green light and the crossing signal,” Cimino said. “We’ve had a couple people get clipped there by folks making a right turn on red.”

Pedestrians will also now be given approximately seven seconds of exclusive walk time when crossing Coastal Highway, prior to the side road traffic getting the green.

At 13 intersections, between 17th and 59th Streets on Coastal Highway, Cimino is also planning to implement what is called a “pedestrian recall” function between the most dangerous hours of 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. This will activate the pedestrian crossings whenever the side road phases are activated, allowing for safe crossings even if less-than-sober pedestrians forget to press the button.

“Even if the pedestrian doesn’t push the crosswalk button, if there’s a car there, the signal controller will activate the pedestrian icon,” Cimino said.

Despite the host of signal alterations, Cimino said “we’re not expecting it to add a lot of additional delay along Coastal Highway.”

The SHA is along working on longerterm improvements, the most noticeable of which will be an additional stoplight and pedestrian crossing at 54th Street.

This would cut in half the highway’s

longest stretch of uncontrolled road, between the lights at 52nd and 56th Streets.

“The new pedestrian signal will hopefully be in by next season,” Cimino said.

“It’ll be similar to the one at Seacrets, where it’s just a crossing for pedestrians [and not an intersection].”

Matthew Jude Cheswick, 22, a Towson University student from Cooksville, was killed May 28 while in the bus lane at 54th Street, having almost made it across the highway. He was struck by a drunk driver, Diogo Miller Facchini, who was recently sentenced to five years in prison.

On June 15, an eerily similar incident occurred at the same location, in which a crewmember of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds – in town for the OC Air Show – was struck.

Later this month, Cimino said he will be conducting one of the first preliminary meetings “to discuss the different alternatives for Coastal Highway” in the longterm. Such alternatives, proposed in November, would include major structural changes, such as the installation of a median barrier that would prevent midblock crossings, or the removal of one traffic lane to install larger bike lanes and sidewalks.

Considerable feasibility studies will have to be done before such options move forward, Cimino said, meaning they are several years out from implementation.

(March 8, 2013) With an eye toward America’s upcoming annual celebration of alcohol abuse and Gaelic gaiety, the State Highway Administration says it is planning to implement a bevy of pedestrian-safety improvements within the next week, hopefully relieving last season’s high rate of pedestrian accidents.

“I’m hoping to have at least some of these down and in place before St. Patrick’s Day, and then, hopefully, be able to gauge if they’re having an impact, since that’ll be the first big day of the year when a lot of folks are in town,” SHA District Engineer Ken Cimino said this week.

The brunt of the administration’s upcoming work will be in creating signage directing pedestrians where and where not to cross Coastal Highway, between 52nd and 59th Streets.

“That was the highest percentage of accidents in any one location,” Cimino said. “Fourteen percent of the 41 accidents last year were in that stretch.”

Placards reading “No pedestrian crossing — use crosswalk” will be installed facing the side streets, “to discourage pedestrians from mid-block crossings,” Cimino said.

Furthermore, curb top markings will be installed along the same stretch. Designed in-house by Cimino’s staff, the

markings will cover the roughly six-inch top of the curb concrete, and stretch 36 inches in length. They will be affixed to the curb every 40 feet.

“They’re experimental pavement markings, but we want to put them down to support the regular signs,” Cimino said. He hopes to be able to follow crash data along the stretch for the next several years to gauge the markings’ effectiveness.

Although likely less noticeable than the upcoming signage and curb markers, Cimino noted that some of the SHA’s minor safety revisions are already in place. At the 94th and 130th Street intersections, the side road green lights have been separated between the east and west sides.

“We’ve split those side road phases, which is what we call them,” Cimino said.

“It means that if you’re sitting at 94th and you’re coming from the bayside, you’ll get the green arrows to turn left, and the east side will have to wait, and then they’ll move separately.”

The same changed is planned for the 28th Street and Coastal Highway intersection, to begin March 15. Additionally, Cimino noted, he is seeking approval from the SHA’s central traffic safety office to eliminate the right turn on red for the side streets at the same three intersections, as well as at the 33rd, 123rd, and 127th Street lights.

City transportation pricey,but doing better than rest of state ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) Despite heavy subsidies from state and federal grants – and having a much more fiscally efficient operation than other jurisdictions in the state – Ocean City’s transportation system will still need a $1.85 million boost from the town’s general fund for fiscal year 2014, the City Council heard this week.

The system’s overall operating budget, not including capital purchases and improvements, is projected at $5,546,343, according to city Public Works Director Hal Adkins, who conducted the budget

hearing this week as a requirement of the Maryland Transit Authority. The MTA largely funds and oversees the city’s public transit structure via federal mandate.

Adkins pointed out, however, that Ocean City is also projected to bring in $2,443,618 in fare revenue, meaning that ridership pays for 46 percent of the operation. This ratio, known as the farebox recovery ratio, is generally seen as a gauge of how effective a public transportation system is.

“One of the major indicators, when studying the performance of a transportation system, is farebox recovery ratio,” Adkins said. “It is considered to be a success if you have a farebox ratio that

exceeds 25 percent.”

He noted that Ocean City is the state’s fourth-largest public transportation network, behind the City of Baltimore and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. However, those systems have farebox recovery ratios of 36, 20, and 10 percent, respectively.

This high recovery ratio, combined with revenue from advertising and service contracts, means that the city’s bus system is able to pay for about $2.9 million of its operations. Roughly $825,000 of federal, state, and Americans with Disabilities Act fund grants close the gap to the $1,850,774 that the city itself provides. This is $77,223 less than last year’s

Dare on state panel to study climate change, construction ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) Intended to be a selfexplanatory term, the phrase “100-yearfloodplain” — a common parlance for builders, insurers, and emergency planners — is beginning to lose its vogue faster than a Members Only jacket, thanks to global warming.

With the expectation that the next several decades of climate change will

likely transform what were once termed “floods of the century” into an almost annual occurrence, the state of the Maryland is embarking on a long-range revision of its construction policies to accommodate higher waters.

Authorized this past December by an executive order of Gov. Martin O’Malley, the state has formed a so-called “Climate Change and Coast Smart Construction Working Group,” which contains a number of representatives from public and

private agencies across the state, including Ocean City Councilman Dennis Dare as the representative for the Maryland Municipal League.

As stated in O’Malley’s order, Maryland has roughly 450 state-owned buildings and 400 miles of state highway in areas that are projected to be affected by sea level rise over the next 100 years.

“The whole idea is to look out for Maryland’s investment in these 400-odd See JUMP on Page 6A

contribution, Adkins said.

The city will also likely need to provide a further $344,900 for its share of capital improvements and purchases – 10 percent of the $3,449,000 worth of capital that Adkins expects the MTA to approve. State and federal sources will take on the other 90 percent of the cost.

Although the city’s capital request provides for 29 new buses for the city’s aging fleet, Adkins has been told that the MTA is likely to approve six. Capital allotments for minor facility renovations and maintenance are also included.

City Councilman and former City Manager Dennis Dare said resort government may be able to secure more outside funding if it could be classified as an urban, instead of rural, public transportation provider under state and federal budget guidelines.

“The definition is tied to your census population,” Adkins said. “If your census population is less than 50,000 people, you fall into the ‘rural’ box.”

Dare suggested that Mayor Rick Meehan bring the issue up in Annapolis, although changing the city’s status may require alterations all the way up to the federal level.

“We’re really in our own category,” Adkins said. “You’re not going to find another provider where the population swing goes from 7,000 in the winter to 300,000 in the summer.”

OC convention center acclimating clients to new exhibit space Continued from Page 1A

and others who may be adversely affected by the change to the center’s layout.

“They’re very pleased with what we had to tell them about the changes we could make,” Convention Center Director Larry Noccolino said. “What we’re doing now is taking our existing clients and some who we’ve been trying to bring on board, and see if the performing arts center is going to be a good fit for them.”

An e-mail last week from the event’s organizers, while noting the February competition had generated $600,000 in room revenue, included an ominous note.

“This competition has taken place in Ocean City 25 times and we desperately want this competition to remain in Ocean City!” the message read. “If the proposed changes to the convention center were to be made, we would lose a large portion of floor space that is required to run this competition. Please join us in our efforts to keep these changes from occurring.”

The correspondence caused an airing of grievances amongst local promoters and hoteliers, who said they had suspected for months or even years that the theater project would have a negative effect on the ability of the center to book a wide base of events, but were afraid to say as much publicly because they feared a backlash from the city, which they say seemed to desire to build the prestigious amenity regardless of functionality.

The change of concern is the theater expansion that is scheduled to begin in the fall and which constitutes the second phase of the planned convention center renovation. Consisting of a two-level performing arts atrium with roughly 1,200 seats, the theater will be oriented northsouth, with the stage itself on the southern border of what is now the convention center’s central hall ‘C.’ The theater’s balcony seating, vaulted ceiling and fly gallery – the space above the stage itself used for lifting props – will use what is now the rear portion of the second-story convention hall.

In conversations late last week with Epic, Meehan said it became apparent that “they had some concerns about being able to use the space because of the depth o the stage and the height of the proscenium arch [the stage-front opening].”

A quick re-design by City Engineer Terry McGean will widen the arch by 10 feet, from 50 to 60 feet, taking space from the offstage wings. “[The change] literally just makes the curtain 10 feet wider,” McGean said. “The face of that opening is formed with concrete block walls, they’re like little wing walls. So instead of those being, say, 20 feet wide on each side, they’ll be 15.”

McGean also plans to adapt some of the center’s existing portable platforms to be a stage extension, if needed. The front rows of seating in the theater are not sta-

dium-style, sitting on flat ground, and are removable.

“Now’s the time to find little issues like this out, because it’s a lot easier to erase a wall on paper than it is when it’s built,” McGean said.

During the first phase of the renovation, completed just a few weeks ago, that hall was expanded by enclosing the second-story deck to create a grand ballroom space on the top floor, with panoramic views of the Assawoman Bay. Loading facilities on the bayfront side of the center’s lower floor were also renovated into an additional exhibit hall.

The intent of the two-part renovation was to “first build the replacement space that we were going to lose to the performing arts theater,” said City Councilman and former City Manager Dennis Dare, who was a large part of the process when

the expansion was proposed roughly two years ago.

However, there has been some debate over how usable the extra space is, given that the ballroom has now lost over a third of its depth, and the dockside exhibit hall has load-bearing columns that break up the space.

But Noccolino is so far confident his convention clients will be able to adapt.

Another meeting with the Sweet Adeline’s voice competition went very well, he said.

And although a representative from the Maryland Association of Counties convention “was apprehensive about changing from ‘c’ hall to the dockside exhibit hall … she deleted ‘c’ hall completely for the upcoming event, to get folks used to the dockside space.” “Even though ‘c’ hall will be available this August, they won’t be using it,” Noccolino said.

structures that could be affected,” said Dare, who served as city engineer and city manager before coming to elected office.

“The state may also be participating in the funding for a county or a city-level project that are in this flood area.”

The only specific edict contained in O’Malley’s order, however, is that the state universally adopt a two-foot freeboard minimum for all new construction and/or significant renovations of structures in Special Flood Hazard Areas.

SHFAs were created as part of the National Flood Insurance system in 1968.

At that time, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was directed to identify such flood prone areas and create maps to identify different tiers of damage risk, based on the estimated high water levels for “100-year” events.

These schemes, known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps, were then used to determine the premiums charged to different areas under the federally sponsored insurance program.

For most extremely low-lying areas, including most all of Ocean City, FEMA recommended that buildings’ ground floors be constructed at least two feet

above the 100-year flood level, leaving 48 inches of extra, just-in-case room know as freeboard. The federal government also offered steeper flood insurance rate discounts to areas where local governments had required additional freeboard.

“Ocean City, in the 1970s, did what was recommended by the governor’s order, which is raising the design level of these facilities two feet,” Dare said.

In fact, he explained, the city began to raise the height of its roads as it rebuilt and paved them. Since developers were required to build at a certain angle above

One man rescued at sea,two others still missing NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) One man on a life raft was rescued Wednesday approximately 15 miles east of Assateague Island after a fishing vessel became disabled.

Two other men remain missing.

An aircrew aboard a helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., made the rescue after the Coast Guard received an emergency position indicating radio beacon alert from the 67-foot fishing vessel Seafarer at 10:39 a.m. Wednesday.

Relax

Coast Guard personnel contacted the vessel’s owner, who believed the Seafarer had become disabled and the vessel’s sister ship started towing the Seafarer. That ship lost the tow and sight of the Seafarer when weather conditions worsened.

Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City launched a Jayhawk helicopter crew to the Seafarer’s reported position. Once at the scene, they rescued a man from a life raft and took him to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

The helicopter crew continued their search for the two missing men. A 47-foot

motor lifeboat crew from Coast Guard Station Chincoteague also searched the area.

According to WITN.com, the missing men are 80-year-old Capt. Walter Tate and his nephew, Stephen Tate, both of North Carolina.

Capt. Tate has been a fisherman for 75 years and in 1992, he and four others spent more than 50 hours in a life raft after his boat sank.

The rescued man was identified as Patrick Small, also of North Carolina. He reportedly suffered hypothermia and had a head injury.

the road height, to ensure proper drainage, the overall height of the town thus gradually increased as more lots were built and rebuilt.

“We really raised the height of the whole town, with the ocean side a little higher than the bay side,” Dare said. “In fact, on the ocean front, we’re probably five and a half feet higher than FEMA says it has to be.”

The convention center, Dare pointed out, was built under state supervision in the 1960s at a less than optimal flood height. The town’s own post-1968 additions were built to a higher code.

“When we built on to the building, we did it to our own Ocean City code, and that’s what you may see at other facilities that either belong to the state of Maryland or are rebuilding in cooperation with the state,” Dare said.

Seemingly minor inconsistencies or loopholes and codes, he noted, can have a significant effect on the functionality of a structure. The bridge recently built over the Indian River inlet in Delaware was washed out during Hurricane Sandy because – while the elevation of the bridge itself was sufficient – the approach road sections were too low.

“The solutions aren’t exotic, but what we’re going to do is make it logical and make it something that can easily be on the architect or the engineer’s checklist,” Dare said.

Representatives from towns, Ocean Pines request county funds Officials seek backing for roads, police, marketing, school security officers NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) Municipal leaders and the president of the Ocean Pines Association made their annual requests for county funds Tuesday.

Berlin Mayor Gee Williams said he was concerned that the town will cease getting funds from sales of liquor at the county Liquor Mart because it will be closed after the new liquor dispensary, renamed Shore Spirits, opens just outside town on Route 50 past Stephen Decatur High School.

“For many years, we received over $100,000,” Williams told the Worcester County Commissioners. “To go from that to nothing is tough to swallow.”

The mayor also said the town had provided a school resource officer at Stephen Decatur Middle School for the past 13 years and “didn’t charge the county a dime.’ Those years of having a police officer at the school cost the town $500,000. He said the officer also goes to Stephen Decatur High School.

“We’re pleased to provide that service another year,” Williams said.

Before the town of Berlin started having a school resource officer there, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office had a deputy at the school. When the town annexed the schools several years ago, then-Police Chief Skip Lyons told the Town Council that then-Sheriff Charles “Chuck” Martin had assured him that the Sheriff’s Office would continue to have a deputy there and that no police officer of the Berlin Police Department would be needed. That did not last.

The deputy was pulled out and a Berlin police officer took over the duties at the expense of the town of Berlin. Williams did not bring up that history during the county commissioners’ meeting.

Williams also said his town had become a tourist destination, but that its success had led to a problem.

“We’re still working on adequate parking,” Williams said. “But that’s a good problem to have.”

He also said he was grateful for assistance from county employees.

“We have a great working relationship with all your staff, especially [Tourism Director Lisa Challenger] and [Economic Development Director] Bill Badger,” he said.

Williams asked the commissioners to give the town a $400,000 grant, the same amount it gave last year.

Pocomoke Mayor Russell Blake said his town wants to be a bit like the town of Berlin.

“We’re trying to market ourselves as a tourist destination,” Blake said.

Mental health help sought for Worcester NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) The need for a mental health professional to address highrisk youth with emotional disturbances will be discussed during the county’s upcoming budget deliberations.

“I think there’s a ticking time bomb out there,” Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners, said during Tuesday’s meeting. He was responding to information provided by county Health Officer Debbie Goeller, who said the management of mental health issues is a key factor in school safety.

Help is needed for people in the 14-26 age group. It would be the job of the mental health professional to connect those high-risk people to treatment before or during the time they reach a crisis stage.

It is not uncommon for people with serious mental illness to become more isolated and withdrawn from society as they enter a period of crisis. That isolation makes it difficult for people in mental health, law enforcement and the school system to see warning signs.

The mental health professional, a licensed clinical social worker, would check on the high-risk individuals regularly to see if the illness is driving them into danger and to ascertain if they might become violent. The social worker would also educate the family of the high-risk

individual about warning signs, symptoms and safety plans.

Goeller said there were 92 incidences during the past year of people with suicidal thoughts, nine incidents of homicidal thoughts, 85 incidences of mental illness and 65 incidents with substance abuse problems.

There are 310 high school-age clients of the county health department, 99 students aged 16-18 at risk of dropping out of school and 265 clients between the ages of 18 and 24. Serious risk clients ages 14 to 24 number 149.

Most of the calls for the county’s Crisis Response Team to respond to high-risk youth come from law enforcement. There were 70 such calls. Atlantic General Hospital made 34 calls, schools made 19 calls and an additional 26 calls came from the health department, the Department of Social Services, the Department of juvenile Justice or family members.

Members of the health department’s Crisis Response Team are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to crises. Its funding has remained level for the past 13 years. That is insufficient to cover the cost of the program’s four full-time licensed clinical social workers.

Goeller requested $78,763, including salary and benefits, for the licensed social worker to work with high-risk youth and $33,435 to cover the deficit in the Crisis Response Team program.

Ashley voices transparency fears Continued from Page 1A

former majority] never voted to eliminate these committees – we only moved to have the issues brought before the entire body and the public,” Ashley said.

But a strong desire was also present to return to a system that proponents say encourages consensus-building and a broad base of input from different groups.

Joe Groves, current president of the Delmarva Condo Manager’s Association and spokesman for the political action group Citizens for Ocean City, which has campaigned against Ashley and Pillas’ allies and in favor of their opponents, asked Ashley to reconsider.

“Remember, the majority of people in this town asked for a new direction,” Groves said. “We cannot do that unless you are willing to come to the table and sit with us.”

Later in the meeting, the council unanimously approved, with only Ashley in objection, Mayor Rick Meehan’s committee and commission appointments, which included Groves’ assignment to the city’s newly formed committee to study possible changes to the surf beach rotation system.

The dissolution of the council’s standing committees was the first action taken by the four-member majority that came to be when Ashley, along with Joe Hall, Margaret Pillas, and Jim Hall, created a four-member voting bloc that openly bucked the previous administrative norms.

In November 2010, the victors’ first act was to dissolve the council’s commission system, whereby separate sub-committees of one to three council members heard reports from city staff or interested parties and presented the information back to the full council for any decision necessary. All reports were subsequently presented in open session, before the entire body.

Despite the removal of the dominant faction in the 2012 polls – in which Hall and Hall lost to former City Manager Dennis Dare, now running as an elected official and not a paid executive, and Joe Mitrecic – the commission system has continued to be a symbol of political discontent.

The surviving members of the 2010 majority, now up against a five-person voting bloc, submit that the commission system reduces transparency by developing policy in ad-hoc legislative groups, rather than before the empowered body.

But proponents of the system’s return argue that the additional input garnered makes for richer legislative action and that by forcing every issue before the whole council, the previous majority was simply trying to expand the scope of its political control by micro-managing. “[Committees and sub-commissions] allow us to break into smaller groups and work on each other’s behalf … it’s about trust [amongst council members],” Meehan said earlier this year.

Meehan further reiterated this week that committee and commission meetings, and all materials therein, will be open to the public, and that discussion or recommendation of policy will not take place without the knowledge of the full council.

Ashley also questioned Meehan as to several of the finer points of the reinstated system. Members of the legislative bodies will not be paid, and do not have to be Ocean City residents in order to serve, two stipulations that do apply to those serving on the city’s charter-mandated boards such as the Planning and Zoning Commission.

“Those boards are making decisions, whereas these are only making recommendations,” Meehan said.

“Not all those people live in town, but their hearts are in town,” said Council President Lloyd Martin, in response to Ashley’s questioning of the residency requirement.

“You had your TAB board that you put together, and not all of those people lived in town,” Martin said in reference to the Tourism Advisory Board. “They brought recommendations in here too. It’s no different.”

The previous council majority had created the board as a citizen-only – without sitting council members – replacement for the Tourism Commission.

Meehan previously said that although he will be re-appointing a new Tourism Commission, the TAB would stay independently functional.

Resort area prepares for approval of offshore wind turbines ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) With plans for a statesubsidized offshore wind energy scheme expected to pass through Annapolis this year, local officials are already preparing for exactly how an oceanic wind farm could affect the area.

“I went to my first meeting with the state committee about three weeks ago, an all-day meeting in Annapolis,” said Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger. “I got quite an education on wind turbines.”

In the 2011 and 2012 legislative sessions, as well as this year, Gov. Martin O’Malley has encouraged legislation to authorize the development of wind farms off the state’s coast. For the past two years, the initiative has cleared the House of Delegates, but has been stymied by discussion at the Senate committee level. This year’s vote, according to a number of Annapolis news sources, is shaping up to be more optimistic.

The past two years’ discussions have resulted in some parameters, however, that are extremely important to Ocean City’s role in the possible offshore development.

Electricity generated by wind turbines at sea would need to be connected to the onshore power grid via an undersea cable, which would have to come ashore at some point and be tied in via a substation.

This connection was initially proposed

to run over or under Assateague, but staunch opposition from environmental groups means that the line would have to be placed somewhere in Ocean City.

Bringing power in from out at sea would require a fair amount of on-shore infrastructure improvements, according to Chris Graf, a former General Electric engineer and a wind energy consultant who has been assisting Badger and state representatives. Although he has designed mostly on-shore wind farms, Graf said the tie-in concept should be similar.

“Generally the turbines – the units onshore, at least – are 690 volts, so they have to be stepped up to a voltage compatible with the grid,” Graf said. “That means larger transformers and circuit breakers.”

Delmarva Power’s transmission lines in the region are generally 69,000 volts, with some at 138,000, meaning a 100-to1 or 200-to-1 increase in electric potential.

The turbines themselves, however, would not be noticeable, as part of previous years’ discussion resulted in the stipulation that the turbines be located at least 10 miles off the beach, so as to not obstruct the horizon for beachgoers.

Badger said that the current proposal would involve the state auctioning off the rights to construct two offshore wind farms – an “a” zone and a “b” zone – with a combined area of about 79,000 acres.

“The zones are right off of Ocean City, and almost to the Delaware line,”

ket,” Graf said. “There were a finite number of turbines that could be made, and developers were buying them, so we were selling like hotcakes. Now it’s a buyer’s market, but there’re still a finite number of turbines, so basically you still have to get in line with everybody else.”

Production of the enormous rotors, which can measure up to 140 meters in diameter, is capable at only a few foundries around the world. GE sources their parts from a number of places and assembles the product at a seaport in Pensacola, Fla. so that they can be barged out and installed at sea where needed.

“You’re going to have a lot of ancillary business from the turbines – parts inventory, electricians, mechanics,” Graf said.

“I think it would be a huge benefit to Ocean City’s economy.”

“One of the big benefits has been the local schools, who have to train people how to do this. In Texas, out where most of the on-shore turbines are, they’ve all started offering renewable power courses.”

Even if legislation is passed this spring, full implementation is still somewhat far off.

“Even if everything goes perfectly right, we’re three or four years away from seeing wind turbines off the coast of Ocean City,” Badger said. “Our impact is going to be in maintenance and in the construction phase of the turbines here. That’s where I see the jobs coming from.”

Badger said.

Under the current proposal in Annapolis, wind energy would be subsidized by using a $1.50 tax on the state residents’ electricity bills, in order to make wind power more price-competitive with cheaper generating systems, namely fossil fuels.

Even still, a potential wind farm developer would need a considerable operating reserve, as Graf estimated that most onshore wind units take about eight years before they pay for themselves. Given the difficulty of installing such units at sea, he estimated that offshore units would take somewhat longer to become financially viable.

What is even more important than the state subsidy, however, are federal tax credits for renewable energy, which were eliminated last year after almost a decade in place, but were brought back this year for another two-year period.

“That’s what makes the wind farm development work right now, financially,” Graf said. “Without that tax credit, it’s very difficult.”

During the year in which the credits were in danger, Graf noted that GE sold 3400 turbines – more than it ever has before – due to developers trying to establish wind farms that would be grandfathered into the tax code before the credits were pulled.

“A few years ago, it was a seller’s mar-

Meehan seeks restoration of grants to ’09 level Continued from Page 7A

Pines Association, asked for financial assistance for public safety, roads and bridges, tourism and recreation. In his written request, he asked for $25,000 for tourism, $100,000 for recreation and parks, $600,000 for public safety and $250,000 for public works and roads for a total of $975,000.

Members of the Ocean Pines Police Department responded to more than 11,000 calls last year. That included “ever expanding calls to help out the sheriff and state police,” he said.

He asked for “anything you can do to help us” maintain the community’s roads and bridges and funds for tourism.

“We’d like to join the effort to promote the county,” Terry said.

As for parks and recreation, he said

that last year they tracked where participants in Ocean Pines activities came from.

“Forty percent of participants are not from within the Pines,” he said.

Lastly, he said they wanted to find a way to address the imbalance in the grants the county gives. Although Ocean Pines, a homeowners association, has more year-round residents that any of the municipalities, it receives the smallest amount of grants and no shared taxes.

According to his figures, provided in a letter to the county budget officer, the county gave $17.89 million to the municipalities and Ocean Pines during the current fiscal year. The county gave $859,815 to the town of Berlin, $759,484 to the town of Pocomoke, $692,035 to the town of Snow Hill,

whose mayor presented his formal request two weeks earlier, and $436,000 to Ocean Pines. The county gave $15.1 million to the town of Ocean City, of which $12.6 million was from shared taxes.

For the coming fiscal year, the town of Ocean City is seeking $16.7 million.

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan told the commissioners that they “need to get that grant allocation increased.” In particular, he asked that the grant funding, which is $2.4 million for the current fiscal year, be increased.

“We respectively request that it be restored to the 2009 level [of $4.28 million].”

Meehan also said he wanted to discuss tax differential later because they had just had a study updated and need time to review it.

Maryland considers gasoline sales tax, lowered excise rate

ALEXANDER PYLES â&#x2013; The Daily Record Newswire (March 8, 2013) Gov. Martin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley and the leaders of both houses of the General Assembly unveiled a plan Monday night that would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for transportation projects through a combination of tax increases, decreases and adjustments.

The plan, endorsed by Senate President Thomas V. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Miller Jr., D-Calvert and Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and House of Delegates Speaker Michael E. Busch, D-Anne Arundel, would phase in application of Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6 percent sales tax on the wholesale purchase of gasoline, starting next fiscal year with a 2 percent assessment, rising to 4 percent in fiscal 2015 and potentially reaching the full amount by fiscal 2016.

In return, the excise tax on gasoline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 23.5 cents a gallon since 1992 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be lowered to 18.5 cents per gallon but would be tied to the consumer price index, allowing it to rise with inflation.

Those measures would raise $391 million in fiscal 2014 and nearly $600 million by fiscal 2015, according to a fiscal analysis of the proposed legislation.

Also, if the U.S. Congress passes a bill that allows states to tax Internet sales, the money generated from such receipts would be earmarked for transportation.

The bill would also tie Maryland Transit Administration fares to the consumer price index, an idea championed by Republicans in the legislature for years.

If everything goes as planned, the state expects to pull in $833 million for transportation by fiscal 2018.

In a statement, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley said the accord â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reached after recent meetings with Busch and Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would support 44,000 jobs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;help us generate the revenue we need to ease some of the worst traffic congestion in the nation while building and repairing our transportation infrastructure.â&#x20AC;?

But while the money will fill the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon-to-be-barren Transportation Trust Fund with enough money to continue road and highway projects, the amount would apparently only cover the costs of design, engineering and land acquisition related to the Red Line in Baltimore and Purple Line in suburban Washington.

Hoping Congress will allow states to collect sales tax on online purchases is also problematic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so much so that, when Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell proposed doing the same to raise money for transportation, some Democrats in Maryland derided the idea as foolish. If Congress doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass such legislation, Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contingency plan is to apply the full 6 percent sales tax to wholesale gas purchases.

Last week, Virginia passed legislation that increased the sales tax at varying levels across the state and created a wholesale fuel tax in order to raise $3.5 billion over five years for transportation projects.

The Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is expected to raise $3.4 billion over five years.

McDermott bill to protect farms from frivolous litigation McDermott’s bill would help protect family farms from groundless lawsuits NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) Delegate Mike McDermott’s bill to protect family farms from spurious lawsuits such as the one faced by Alan and Kristin Hudson has been awaiting a vote in the House Judiciary Committee. That committee held a hearing on the bill Feb. 27.

The Hudsons were faced with a lawsuit filed in March 2010 by Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips and the Waterkeeper Alliance alleging that a pile of chicken litter on their farm near

St. Martins violated the Clean Water Act because its runoff polluted water in a ditch. Perdue Farms was also named in the lawsuit because the Hudsons were contract growers for the poultry company.

There was no pile of chicken litter and on Dec. 20, 2012, Judge William Nickerson ruled in U.S. District Court in Baltimore in favor of the Hudsons and Perdue Farms. The pollution was more likely to come from the herd of cows on the farm, he wrote in his decision.

Because there was no pile of chicken manure and the lawsuit had not mentioned cows, the plaintiffs had stuck with their case blaming chicken litter and stated it could have come from dust from poultry house fans and small amounts of litter from the bottom of shoes of people walking in and out of

the poultry houses.

Earlier, Judge Nickerson had cautioned the plaintiffs about proceeding with their case and had told them he could award legal fees to the defendants.

While the Hudsons relied on donations, funds raised from chicken and dumpling dinners and crab feasts and money donated online at SaveFarmFamilies.org, the Waterkeeper Alliance had the benefit of free representation by the University of Maryland, Baltimore, Environmental Law Clinic.

During the 2010 session of the General Assembly, legislators debated about withholding state funds from the law clinic because of the free legal advice provided to the plaintiffs. The following year, Gov. Martin O’Malley wrote a letter to the dean of the law school criticizing the case and the fact that the school was representing

the Waterkeeper Alliance pro bono.

McDermott is concerned about the monetary effect such lawsuits have on farm families.

“The farming community plays an important role in our state’s economy,” McDermott stated in a Feb. 28 press release. “Since farmers are particularly vulnerable in these difficult economic times, we should not hesitate to ease their burden wherever we can, and stave off the frivolous environmental lawsuits taken against them.”

If McDermott’s bill, House Bill 837, becomes law, it would allow a state court to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to a family farm that is sued for causing water pollution, but is successful in the outcome of the case.

It would cover cases similar to the one faced by the Hudsons. The bill does not apply to local governments, which have authority to enforce local environmental laws.

The bill, if it passes in the General Assembly and is signed by Gov. Martin O’Malley, will not affect the Hudsons because it only applies to such lawsuits filed on or after Oct. 1, 2013, the effective date of the bill and because the Hudson case was filed and tried in a federal court.

Attorneys for Perdue and the Hudsons are seeking more than $3 million in legal fees and expenses.

State Senate passes gun bill, house is overwhelmed by citizens SHEILA R. CHERRY ■ Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette (March 8, 2013) In the wake of the Maryland Senate’s passage of SB 281, the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, on Feb. 28, thousands of proponents and opponents descended on Annapolis on March 1 with new urgency as the companion bill, HB 294, was discussed during a joint hearing of the House Judiciary and Health and Government Operations Committees.

Sen. Jim. Mathias (D-38) was one of 19 senators, mostly from rural and suburban counties, who voted against the bill. He said he felt the bill would bring major burdens onto law-abiding citizens and that he received more than 2,000 contacts from around the district opposing the legislation.

Mathias offered a floor amendment that would have added a 10-year sunset clause to the bill and directed the Department of Legislative Services, in consultation with other state and law enforcement agencies, to monitor, evaluate and report on the effect that the legislation had on gun violence in the state.

The amendment failed on a 20-27 vote.

Staffers on the House Judiciary Committee said more than 1,200 individuals requested to testify before the joint committee in the House. The hearing lasted into the early hours of March 2.

Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), members

of his administration and representatives from Baltimore City, Prince Georges County and Montgomery County testified before the joint house committees in favor of the legislation.

Jeff Reh, corporate secretary for Benelli U.S.A. and president of Stoeger Industries Inc., which employs 400 workers in Accokeek and Pocomoke City, was among the witnesses who testified before the joint committee. He told the panel that he was heading to Germany the following week to meet with corporate officials to discuss whether the company would remain in the state.

“From 1997 to 2014, these companies have paid or are projected to pay $31 million in taxes to the state of Maryland,” he said, adding that the companies had either invested or had planned to invest $73 million during the same time period.

What HB 294 does, he said, “is treat as dangerous millions of people who lawfully and safely own semi-automatic rifles and the tens of millions of people who lawfully and safely own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds,” by seeking to ban rifles that are not typically involved in crime.

Reh also told the lawmakers the companies do not support proposals that would “use safety training as a deliberate impediment to the exercise of a constitutional right.”

Eight or 16 hours of firearm safety training, which can be taught in minutes, is unnecessary and seems intended just to deter people from obtaining firearms, he said.

Like Benelli, a company representative from Cambridge-based LWRC International L.L.C. and its Salisbury affiliate

MaTech, said that passage of the bill could trigger a move of company operations out of the state.

According to Darren Mellors, executive-vice president of LWRCI, “The Maryland government is making it clear through its actions with this legislation that we, nor Beretta nor other firearms manufacturers are welcome in Maryland.

It sends the message that this is not the state to expand in.”

Mellors said he was scheduled to testify, but was unable to physically get to the hearing room. If the gun ban bill passes as written, he said in his prepared testimony, “we will comply with your wishes and move our companies out of Maryland along with as many employees and their families that wish to go.”

Mellors said he was also attempting to See EMPLOYEES on Page 18A

Former Miss Delaware Teen USA cited in OC,offered $250,000 MELISSA_M_KING/TWITTER

Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King

Melissa King of Bethany reliquishes crown after explicit video hits Web NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 8, 2013) The Bethany Beach, Del., teenager who resigned as Miss Delaware Teen USA 2013 last week after a sexually explicit online video was publicized garnered headlines again this week because of her involvement with Ocean City Police.

Melissa King, who won her crown in November, had already been in trouble in Ocean City and those legal problems became news on network morning shows this week.

On June 7, 2012, King was given a ci-

Telephone sweepstakes scam alert in OC (March 8, 2013) The Ocean City Police Department is investigating a series of telephone scams involving fraudulent sweepstakes.

Police said the scam is perpetrated by a telephone caller who advises the victim that he or she has won a sweepstakes.

The victim is told that to receive the large sweepstakes prize he or she must go to a convenience store or drug store and purchase a Green Dot Money Pac Reload Card for a certain amount of money usually between $200 and $500.

tation for stealing money from the town of Ocean City. She allegedly took less than $100 from a municipal bus. She failed to appear in District Court in Ocean City on Aug. 20, 2012 and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

On August 6, 2012, King, who turns 19 later this month, was given a civil citation for underage possession of alcohol, a frequent circumstance in the resort during summer months. When she failed to appear in District Court on Oct. 16, 2012, another warrant was issued for her arrest.

The following month, King, a graduate of Indian River High School near Dagsboro, was crowed Miss Delaware Teen USA. She told the “Coastal Point” in February that she would represent Delaware in the Miss Teen USA pageant in July, with a platform of “Finding the Balance.” She said her platform was about maintaining overall health and well-being, including mental, emotional and physical health, while also focusing on healthy eating, exercise and physical fitness.

But King relinquished her crown Feb. 26 and the runner-up, Hailey Lawler, 17, of Newark, Del., a senior at Padua Academy in Wilmington, was named the new Miss Delaware Teen USA. Just two days earlier, King had posted on her Facebook and Twitter pages that “a year ago almost, I turned 18. I’m

about to turn 19 and so much has changed for the better in my life,” the “Coastal Point” reported in its March 1 edition.

After her sex video was revealed, King’s Facebook page was deactivated and she has maintained a low profile.

In the video, as she sits on a bed wearing a dress, an off-camera man asks, “You’re actually a Miss, a Miss Teen?

You do beauty pageants? That’s crazy.”

King, who had been a foster child from age 12 until she turned 18, said she was doing the video because she thought it would be fun and because she needed the money.

But after word of the porn video became public, King denied that she was the young woman shown. Shortly thereafter, additional video surfaced on youtube.com and in it she says her name is Melissa King and reads a release form that says she is doing the video on her own free will.

According to www.tmz.com, “porn giant YouPorn.com wants to compensate her for the unfortunate situation – offering to crown King the first ever “Miss YouPorn” and pay her $250,000 to tour the world promoting the website.”

In February, King said she planned to attend the University of Arkansas in the fall. Her interests were fashion, journalism and broadcasting.

POLICE BRIEFS

Suicide outside AGH A person committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head Monday night while sitting in a parked vehicle in the parking lot of Atlantic General Hospital.

Police will not identify the victim and gave no further details. Berlin police responded to the hospital at about 9:30 p.m. before handing the case over to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation.

Detectives with that bureau did not comment because of the nature of the case.

Exposure at police headquarters A 28-year-old Stockton man was charged March 1, with indecent exposure and second-degree assault because of alleged problems he caused after being charged with numerous traffic offenses, including driving while impaired by alcohol.

Ocean City police reported that they stopped John Robley Rantz near 45th Street for speeding and erratic driving. He failed to complete field sobriety tests satisfactorily and was taken to the Public Safety Building, according to police.

Police said he showed signs of a drug overdose and became comatose. EMS took him to Atlantic General Hospital where he refused to take a test to determine the level of alcohol in his system.

After his return to the Public Safety Building, he allegedly exposed himself to two female patrol service assistants.

While they were taking him to a holding cell, he tripped over his pants and they fell completely off. He then reportedly kicked one of the women.

Harrell said he knew his license was suspended. After the officer arrested him on that and additional traffic charges, he searched Harrell and found a switchblade knife in his pants pocket, according to the charging document.

According to Ocean City police, Amy Desales Poole broke a kitchen chair by slamming it on the unit’s floor on March 3. The man living in the unit called police because he wanted them to intervene before the argument became violent.

She and the man had no contact orders against each other at the time because both were arrested for previous assaults, according to the charging document.

Police told her to leave the unit and to stay away.

The man left for work, but when he returned, he saw that the door had been kicked in and Poole was sitting on the sofa watching television, according to the charging document.

Police charged Poole with malicious destruction of property.

testify on behalf of his mentor, LWRCI owner Richard Bernstein, who Mellors said has created an estimated 3,000 jobs over the last 40 years by estimation of the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development. “His record of job creation on the Eastern Shore of [Maryland] is second only to Mr. Frank Perdue,” according to Mellors.

He said the company supplies rifles to the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Commerce, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, along with hundreds of local and state law enforcement agencies. “Countless U.S. citizens buy our commercial rifles for

the same reasons our government and international customers do,” he added.

Moreover, in February of 2012 the defense contractor, which is now being actively courted by other states, signed a $109 million dollar 18-month contract with the government of Saudi Arabia, which was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of State and Congress, he said.

Mellors said LWRCI’s rate of job creation over the past seven months has been approximately 10 new jobs per month and the more than 300 employees who will lose their jobs as a result of relocation live in five distressed Maryland counties. “This does not take into account the subcontractors we use in Maryland who will lose revenue when LWRC leaves the state,” he said.

Berlin is ‘ahead of the class’ SHEILA R. CHERRY ■ Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette (March 8, 2013) Members of the General Assembly are considering emergency bills HB 165 and SB 807, which would require county superintendents of schools to work with local law enforcement agencies to provide school resource officers for public elementary and secondary schools and would provide additional funding required for school resource officers from the Education Trust Fund.

However, according to Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing, the town’s local schools have been incorporating the school resource officer concept into the school culture since the late 1990s. Senior Officer Jeannine Jerscheid, a SRO with the Berlin Police Department for 11 years, is assigned to Stephen Decatur Middle School, but provides services to all the schools in town as needed, he said.

Both Delegates Norman Conway (38BD) and Michael McDermott (38B-R) are co-sponsors of HB 165. Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot on Feb. 28 released a statement in support of placing SROs in public schools throughout the state.

“There’s no good reason why every school in Maryland shouldn’t have a trained, armed resource officer. We have no obligation more fundamental than keeping our kids safe from harm,” he said.

March 5 was considering a similar proposal sponsored by McDermott, HB 397, which would allow law enforcement officers to use their carry permits on school grounds.

According to Jerscheid, additional SROs in schools would be a great asset.

“As the SRO, there are a variety of things that I do at the school,” she said, the first of which was to serve as a visible law enforcement officer on the school grounds and to maintain the safety of the students, faculty and deal with law related crime.

Jerscheid said she works with the faculty and the administration to solve problems in the school and serves as a resource for the students, including by allowing them to be associated with a police officer in their environment.

“This concept builds a solid rapport between the SRO, the students, the law enforcement agency, and the school. This is a part of the community policing philosophy,” she said.

Jerscheid said SROs receive additional training, from the National Association of School Resource Officers and work with other agencies, such as social services, the Department of Juvenile Services, other local law enforcement, and many nonprofit organizations.

“The SRO can be one of the most positive combatants of youth crime and victimization by addressing the problems the student faces each day,” such as peer pressure and bullying, she said.

Citizens warned about ongoing scam Continued from Page 16A

Once the victim has purchased the card, he or she is instructed to contact the scammer who is pretending to be a sweepstakes representative who will process the winning claim. The victim is asked to provide the Green Dot Money Pac Reload Card information over the telephone as a means of verification the victim has actually completed the task.

The result of this is that the scammer will use the information provided by the victim to redeem the value of the card.

The Ocean City Police Department is reminding citizens that legitimate sweepstakes require that you enter to win. If you did not enter a sweepstakes, you should not be named as a winner.

Legitimate sweepstakes will not ask you for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;processing feeâ&#x20AC;? and federal and state taxes are usually deducted from the sum total of the winning amount prior to the sweepstakes winner receiving the final payout.

Citizens should never provide personal information including social security numbers, birth dates, passwords or

home addresses to unknown â&#x20AC;&#x153;businesses or individuals. Also, police said people should never give out banking information or credit card account numbers over the phone to persons or businesses that cannot be verified as legitimate.

Criminals can take advantage of people when they are at their most vulnerable. By practicing a few easy proactive measures and reporting these types of scams, citizens can make it tough for criminals to succeed.

Police also said never make on-line or telephone transactions with credit cards that are directly linked to a checking/ savings or money market accounts. In addition, bank and credit card accounts should be routinely monitored for suspicious and unauthorized transactions.

Persons who feel someone has attempted to scam them, believe they have been victims of a scam or recognize unauthorized activity on their financial accounts should contact their financial institutions and report the issue. If you are the victim of a theft, report the theft to your local law enforcement agency.

County offering inexpensive rabies vaccine (March 8, 2013) The Worcester County Health Department and Animal Control will offer a series of inexpensive rabies vaccinations clinics this spring at two locations.

Rabies is a dangerous fatal disease and ongoing problem in the county. People and animals can be infected by the virus if they are exposed to the saliva of an infected animal. Low-cost rabies clinics are made available to help residents protect their dogs, cats and ferrets.

The scheduled spring clinics will be held at the Worcester County Animal Control, 6207 Timmons Road off Route 113, just north of Snow Hill, on March 13, April 17 and May 8. The clinic will also be offered Thursday, May 9, at the Bishopville Volunteer Fire Department, 10709 Bishopville Road.

Each clinic will be from 5:30-7 p.m.

The cost for a rabies vaccination is $5 per pet for Worcester County residents

and $10 per pet for non-residents. Proof of residency is required. Vaccinations are available for dogs, cats and ferrets.

Additional requirements: z If this is not the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first rabies vaccination, written proof of the previous shot in the form of a rabies certificate must be provided in order to receive a three-year booster shot. Otherwise, a one-year shot will be given. z To receive a vaccination, dogs must be on a leash under the control of an adult, and cats and ferrets must be in a carrier or box with air holes.

Keeping petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; required rabies vaccinations current is the best way to prevent the spread of rabies from the wild animal population to the domestic animal population.

For more information on the clinics or to report animal bites or possible rabies exposures to pets from wild animals call 410-352-3234 or 410-641-9559.

Finding money to pay for new union contracts When the Ocean City Council learned recently that local government has a $1.5 million hole to fill in next year’s budget, that revenue gap pertained only to covering the cost of the same level of operations as last year.

Not part of that calculation were any raises or other expenses resulting from the mayor and council’s negotiations with the city’s two unions, the International Association of Firefighters and the Fraternal Order of Police.

The FOP reportedly ratified its contract this week, although its terms won’t be made public, apparently, until the next regular council meeting. Still, it is safe to assume that the FOP got close to what it wanted: raises and a return to the old defined pension plan. The firefighters, meanwhile, are said to be happy with the current pension program, but do expect raises.

Consequently, the revenue shortfall the city faces is going to be much bigger than that $1.5 million and city officials are looking for ways to make up the difference without incurring the displeasure of resident taxpayers.

One step under consideration is adding parking meters to side streets on the ocean blocks and the other is to have the business community pay for trash collection.

Although many towns and cities do charge for waste removal or require businesses to contract with private haulers, one of the long-held assumptions in Ocean City has been that taxes pay for it.

That may have been the case once, but not anymore, as public safety spending alone takes about 80 percent of the $41 million in property taxes the city collects.

Obviously, the money to cover these new contracts and the revenue deficit has to come from somewhere.

Exactly where, how and how much is the question that property owners will be waiting to have answered.

Special thanks to Billy and Madelyn Carder for entertaining

us during the evening with the talents of “Teenage Rust.”

Social Security should be exempt Editor, When Social Security taxes do not cover all of the money spent on benefits and administration, Social Security has to redeem some of its trust fund savings bonds. To the extent the Treasury Department gets the money for redemption via general revenues, the national debt is actually reduced. To the extent the money comes from selling bonds to different owners, the national debt remains unchanged, this being like using a new credit card to pay off a credit card balance with total debt remaining unchanged.

Since Social Security does not depend on raising the national debt, it should be exempt from “sequestration.” So, don’t worry, be happy!

OBITUARIES

By Stewart Dobson The people who deliver the weather news today apparently took the wrong door at broadcast school and mistakenly ended up in “WrestleMania Announcing for Beginners.”

It once was that all television weather people were required to attend the Smiley Smiles Institute of Weather Announcing, where even the worst news was happy.

“Hey, no worries this weekend, folks, a light 145 inches of rain, a small tidal wave and 17 tornadoes. It sure won’t ruin my backyard barbecue! Back to you, Bob.” That’s not the way it is now, with every little piece of meteorological information presented in end-of-the-world fashion.

“Our forecast models indicate a slight possibility of patchy early morning fog, subsequent traffic problems, car crashes, people going berserk, the total annihilation of humankind and the likelihood that the world will explode. Back to you, Bob.” And that’s another thing: national forecasters are calling for a better computer modeling system, since our storm models are prone to getting it wrong, while the European program is more precise.

Our model: “The snow storm will come ashore at Cape Hatteras and then veer up somewhere between Idaho and New Jersey.”

Their model: “The snow storm will drop exactly 1.72 inches on seven houses in the 900 block of the 21842 zip code.”

The question is why does it make a difference? It’s not as if knowing when and where snow is going to fall is going to stop it from snowing.

Besides, having a better model will just give television weather alarmists more information to use against us.

First, there is no such thing as “weather” anymore. Now, it’s a “weather event.” The only positive thing about that is, it’s a recent development, thus allowing a pair of songwriters in the 1930s to write the great bluesy standard, “Stormy Weather.” Somehow, the lyrics don’t work as well when they say, “Don’t know why, there’s no sun up in the sky. Stormy weather event.”

As it is, there is no weather event too small to be overblown by the current crop of storm mongers.

“Yes, we’re expecting a heavy dew event this morning. Our dew trackers are out there in it right now. How’s the dew on the coast, Bill?

“Well, as you can see, it’s tough to talk in all this dew, but from what we see, this could be a catastrophic dew event, a 100year-dew, if you will, that could cause serious tomato leaf wilt when, and if, the sun ever rises again. We’re in deep dew, Bob.”

Frances Elliott Mumford OCEAN CITY — Frances Elliott Mumford, 97, died Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, at her home in Ocean City. Born in Berlin, she was the daughter of the late Robert Elliott and Gertrude Holloway Elliott. She was preceded in death by her husband, Owen John Mumford in 1997.

Mrs. Mumford is survived by a son, Owen Jeffrey MumF. Mumford ford and his wife, Marsha, of Ocean City; a daughter, Sandra Lee Mumford Quillin and her husband, J.D., of Bishopville; three grandchildren, Jeffrey D. Quillin and his wife, Kasey, Courtney Quillin Hurley and Stephen Owen Mumford; three great-grandchildren, Justin Dirkson Pusey, Megan Murray Hurley and Emily Frances Hurley; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mrs. Mumford was a 1931 graduate of

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Stephen Decatur sophomore Payton Van Kirk shields the ball from a Howard player during last Wednesday’s 3A East Regional semifinal game in Berlin. Decatur lost 67-33.

LADY SEAHAWK SEASON ENDS IN SEMIFINALS Coach pleased with girl’s ‘phenomenal’ basketball season with 21 victories LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) The Stephen Decatur girls’ basketball team’s season came to an end last Wednesday at the hands of the Howard Lions.

Berlin was the site of the 3A East Regional semifinal game, where the secondseeded Lady Seahawks hosted the No. 3 Lions. Howard proved to be a bit too much for Decatur to handle, and the visitors won the competition 67-33. The Lions netted seven three pointers, which contributed to nearly a third of the team’s points.

“Not only are they very good, but they also came in and shot so well. They couldn’t miss a shot,” Decatur Coach Amy Fenzel-Mergott said after the loss. “It was very frustrating for us. Also, one of our assets has always been getting the ball in to our big girls and their big girls did a very good job of anticipating … and that was really

hard for us because then we were kind of stuck on what to do.”

The Lions took it to the Seahawks early and secured a 25-4 lead by the end of the first quarter. By halftime, Howard had pulled ahead 42-13. The Berlin squad went into the locker room with three starters — senior captains Abbey Schorr and Monique Wise and freshman Dayona Godwin — with three fouls apiece.

“It was a mix of different things that went on, then we got into foul trouble and I’ve got girls who have to sit on the bench because they have foul issues,” FenzelMergott said.

Scoring was more even in the third quarter. The Lions tacked on 14 points, while the Seahawks tallied 13. After three quarters, the visiting team led 56-26.

Midway into the fourth quarter, Schorr fouled out. Seconds later, Wise committed her fifth foul and took a seat on the bench also. Both players were visibly upset as their final season playing for Decatur was coming to a close.

Howard outscored Decatur 11-7 in the final quarter to secure the victory.

“I think that we could have done a better job with executing our offense. It’s

The Ocean City Elementary School’s PTA will hold its second annual golf tournament on Monday, March 25, at Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club. Golfers will tee off at 12:30 p.m.

Entry fee is $100 per player and includes a box lunch, goodie bag and Italian dinner. There will be the chance to win a new driver, a new putter, a full set of Taylormade golf clubs and, with a hole in one, a new car from Barrett Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Berlin.

All money raised will benefit the Ocean City Elementary Technology Fund.

The PTA is looking for individuals and businesses that would like to make a monetary donation or would like to donate raffle prizes. The opportunity to sponsor a hole is also available. A $100 sponsor will have a sign posted at one of the holes with their name and graphics.

Last year, more than $10,000 was raised, allowing the PTA to purchase 30 tablets for the school. This year, the goal is to be able to buy 30 more tablets.

“With school budget cuts and the increasing need to provide students with updated technology, it is more important now than ever to invest our time and efforts into school fundraising,” said PTA President Sheri Conner. “These children are our future and we need to do whatever we can to help them be successful.”

Annual free-throw contest between bar and restaurant reps LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) Representatives from Ocean City and surrounding area bars and restaurants will go head-tohead this Sunday during Seacrets’ annual “That basketball thing in March” free-throw shooting contest.

“It’s a fun day of activities. It’s a great chance for everyone to get together and say ‘goodbye’ to winter and have a good time before the busy summer season kicks in,” said Brian McDermott, who organizes the event with Seacrets co-

worker Steve Coley.

A number of businesses were invited to participate in the tournament. Last year, 23 establishments were represented. McDermott hopes to max out the 32-team bracket this year.

Some of the bars and restaurants that have committed to compete include Burley Oak Brewery, Bull on the Beach, Harborside, Kirby’s Pub, Mother’s Cantina, Crab Alley, Buxy’s Salty Dog Saloon and Seacrets, of course. Both males and females will take the shooting challenge at the 49th Street hotspot.

The bracket will be separated into

downtown and uptown businesses. West Ocean City and Berlin bars/restaurants will be placed with the uptown businesses on the bracket in the single-elimination tournament. Each team will have one representative shoot. Pairs will go head-to-head, each shooting 10 free throws. The winner will advance to the next round.

The champion of the Seacrets’ competition will take home the tournament trophy to display in his or her restaurant.

The first-place participant will also receive prizes.

Pickles Pub on Eighth Street swept

the inaugural event in 2010. Pit & Pub, on 28th Street, won in 2011 and Hooters, with locations on 123rd Street, on the Boardwalk at Fifth Street, and in West Ocean City, took the trophy last year.

The contest is free to attend and open to the public. Raffles and prizes, including a Seacrets gold card, will be given away.

Doors will open at 5 p.m. and the fourth annual contest will get under way around 6 p.m. in Morley Hall.

Seacrets will offer food and drink specials throughout the day. For additional information about the event, call Seacrets at 410-524-4900.

’Hawks post ‘phenomenal’ season Continued from Page 38A

I’m very proud that they didn’t quit.”

Godwin scored 13 points for Decatur.

Sophomore Marina Jones had seven points, five rebounds and three blocks.

The Decatur basketball program had its most successful season since 2004, when the Seahawks went 20-4 and won the 3A East Regional title. This year’s squad finished 21-3.

“We’ve had such a great year. Everybody is going to lose that last game except for the state champion,” Fenzel-Mergott said. “We had some injuries and we han-

dled adversity, we won some tough games, Abbey scored her 1,000th point.

It was really an phenomenal season.

“Even though [the loss] was a disappointment, I’ve got to just take a step back and enjoy the season because not every season is like this, as I know,” she said.

Three seniors — Schorr, Wise and Casey Ortiz — will graduate in May, but Fenzel-Mergott is confident the team will be strong next year.

“The girls have made a commitment to working in the off-season and I think that’s really going to help,” she said.

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) The Stephen Decatur wrestling season wrapped up last weekend, with the 4A/3A state championship at the University of Maryland’s Cole Field House.

Seahawks’ captains, senior Ryan Kail (285-pound weight class) and junior Andrew Borradaile (160) competed in the tournament, held March 1-2, along with teammates Adam Bargar (195) and Nate Rosenblatt (113), both juniors.

The Decatur grapplers failed to crack the top six in their respective weight classes. Despite fierce competition, Coach Todd Martinek did not think the boys wrestled to their full potential. “[They] missed an opportunity to be considered one of the top wrestlers in the state,” he said.

The Seahawks finished the 2012-13 season with a 16-3 record. Decatur went undefeated, 13-0, against Bayside Conference opponents. The Berlin squad finished in second place during the Bayside championship, scoring 196 points. Kent Island won the conference title with 294 points.

“It was a great season and I will really miss the seniors who led us through this season,” Martinek said.

Three full-time starters — Kail (4A/3A East Regional champion), who has committed to wrestle for the University of Maryland, and captains Kaelan Patterson (152) and Alex Schiffer (145), both Bayside Conference champions in their respective weight classes — will graduate in May. Senior Steve Redner (138) started a few matches for the Seahawks and will also graduate.

“It was an enjoyable, but difficult year. In my 20 years coaching, I have never had so many injuries, flu, kids missing weight and just bad luck,” Martinek said. “To have such a successful team is a testament to how our back-ups filled in for our starters and how my assistant coaches — Danny Kominos, Dave Moquin and Dylan Drew — prepared our kids.”

The program may be losing a few wrestlers, but the team should be solid again next year.

“Our upper and lower weights are going to be great, but filling in [for] Schiffer (145) and Patterson (152) will be the toughest,” Martinek said.

Borradaile, Bayside champion in the 160-pound division, will be the only captain back to compete next season.

Returning varsity grapplers and junior varsity participants who hope to move up to the next level will have to step up and prove worthy of a starting spot.

HouseLogic offers the ‘Homeowners Guide to Taxes’ LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (March 8, 2013) The National Association of Realtors has offered tax tips and insights through its award-winning comprehensive website, HouseLogic.com.

Titled the “Homeowner’s Guide to Taxes,” HouseLogic can help tax filers take advantage of the various tax benefits that come from homeownership.

“From the mortgage interest deduction to energy tax credits, many homeowners can take advantage of a variety of tax strategies that can lower their tax bill,” said Pamela Kabati, NAR senior vice president of communications and HouseLogic spokesperson. “For example, a family who bought a home last year with a $200,000, 30year, fixed-rate mortgage, assuming an interest rate of 4.5 percent, could save nearly $3,500 in federal taxes when they file this year.”

HouseLogic also offers a list of common mistakes homeowners make when filing their taxes, and they include deducting the wrong year for property taxes; confusing escrow amount for actual taxes paid; deducting points paid to refinance (refinance points paid must be deducted over the life of the loan); misjudging the home office tax deduction; failing to repay the first-time homebuyer tax credit (your repayment liability depends on which year you purchased); failing to track home related expenses; forgetting to keep track of capital gains; and filing incorrectly for energy tax credits (it’s a lifetime credit, so if you’ve claimed it for any recent years, you are ineligible to claim it again).

Dashiell Builders wins national award

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Owner Justin Schaub stands behind the bar of Peaky’s Rooftop Restaurant, located on the top floor of the Fenwick Inn on 138th Street in Ocean City.

DREAMCOMETRUE Years ago, Justin Schaub worked at an uptown restaurant overlooking OC. Now, that ‘ideal location’ is his very own

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) Justin Schaub worked at Jordan’s Rooftop restaurant, on the top floor of the Fenwick Inn on 138th Street, as a teen in the late 1990s and he thought the space was a perfect location for a restaurant. He knew that, one day, he would like to run his own restaurant in that same location overlooking Ocean City and the bay.

That dream finally became a reality.

When Jordan’s closed in early 2011 after 19 years in business, Skyline Bar and Grill took over the space on the hotel’s eighth floor.

When the location became available in late 2012, Schaub jumped at the opportunity. He received the keys to the restaurant on Christmas Eve, and renovations began Dec. 26. Schaub painted, installed a new ceiling in the bar area and refurbished the bar.

Peaky’s Rooftop Restaurant & Bar opened about two weeks ago.

“I’ve always liked this location. I’m very excited. I’ve

been wanting to do this for a long time in this location,” he said. “The response, so far, has been good. We’re doing some of the same things Jordan’s did, but we’re keeping up with trends in the restaurant industry.”

Peaky’s will offer a similar happy hour. From 4-7 p.m. daily, customers can get steamed shrimp for $2.99, $5 burgers and wings, $3 house wines and rail drinks, $2 domestic bottles and $1.50 Coors Light pints.

A brunch buffet will be offered on Sundays, starting at the end of the month.

Breakfast is served daily beginning at 8 a.m.; lunch is available 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and dinner is served until 10 p.m. The bar is open until 2 a.m.

The restaurant seats about 160 patrons. Approximately 30 barstools surround the large bar. Customers may also sit at tables and booths in the bar area. Two pool tables are set up in the back of the bar area.

Peaky’s also has a banquet room available for rent.

The view, Schaub said, is also a big draw for patrons.

The menu features sea-

food items, as well as steak, chicken and light fare/pub food. A children’s menu is available for the little ones.

Room service is offered for Fenwick Inn guests.

Schaub’s family took over Peaky’s Restaurant in Princess Anne in 2007 and some of the popular items on the menu, which he referred to as “Eastern Shore comfort food,” will be offered in Ocean City, including the famous fried chicken, a secret recipe.

“We sell a ton of it,” he said. “It’s cooked to order and worth the wait.”

Prime rib and crab cakes, two more Peaky’s favorites, will also be served at the resort eatery.

The Schaub family has many loyal customers who dine at the Princess Anne establishment several times a week and sometimes more than once a day.

“It’s a small community and people will come in two times a day sometimes five or six times a week. They’ll come in for breakfast, then come back for lunch or dinner,” Schaub said. “The response has been really positive.

Everyone’s rooting for me.”

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

From homebuilders to gardening services to decorating tips, Home, Condo and Outdoor Show offers all things home-related, and all under one roof

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) Everything a homeowner could need for his or her residence can likely be found all under one roof this weekend during the 29th annual Home, Condo and Outdoor Show at the Ocean City convention center.

The three-day event will showcase nearly 200 exhibitors, who will offer basic necessities for any house, home, condo or outdoor area.

“It’s a great place to spend a few hours browsing, shopping, learning and talking to the various vendors about their products and services,” said Mike Wicklein of Ocean Promotions, the company presenting the annual event.

Wicklein said show guests can walking through the aisles and browsing at the different products, in a casual, relaxed, atmosphere, with no pressure to buy.

Those who attend the event will notice more than two-dozen new exhibitors and products alongside familiar vendors from the past.

Vendors scheduled to participate include realtors, contractors, builders, landscapers, boat dock and lift representatives, lawn companies, pest control officers, spa and pool dealers, plumbers, painters, furniture suppliers, window designers and flooring, roofing and siding installation companies. Exhibitors will also offer ideas on decorating, remodeling, renovating, accessorizing or building new homes.

Some vendors will offer special show prices, promotions and discounts.

“The vendors spend a lot of time and effort to put their best foot forward,” Wicklein said.

Chet Bober, owner of Amazing Glaze Kitchen and Bathroom Refinishing in Berlin, has been a show exhibitor for 10 years.

Group collecting breakfast bars The 29th annual Home, Condo and Outdoor Show begins today, Friday.

“It’s a great show. Every year I look forward to it,” Bober said. “It’s a great way to get your product out there.”

Bober attends a few home shows each year, but says the Ocean City event is the largest.

“We get at least 50 percent of our business from home shows,” he said.

In addition to the main exhibit, there will be a Health Craft Cooking Show presented each day, as well as an Art and Craft Fair with many one-of-a-kind and handmade wares, ceramics, copper art, photography and prints, jewelry, wood carvings, furniture, lamps, leather goods, nautical

and wildlife items, candles, clothing and glassware.

Admission for the Home, Condo and Outdoor Show costs $6 for adults, and $5 for seniors (55 and older) and students (ages 14-22). Children ages 13 and younger will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Military, police and fire personnel are also admitted free with ID. Show hours are Friday, noon to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Door prizes will be up for grabs during the three-day show. Visit www.oceanpromotions.info or call 410-213-8090 for info.

WCDC to present ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ at Seacrets LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 8, 2013) Ocean City’s first “Finnegan’s Wake,” sponsored by the Friends of the Worcester County Developmental Center, will take place Saturday, from 5-9 p.m., in Seacrets’ Morley Hall on 49th Street.

Finnegan’s Wake is a mock Irish funeral that notes the supposed passing of Tim Finnegan. The Ocean City event is loosely based on a traditional Irish song of the same name about an Irish laborer.

“We thought it would be a

nice, fun event for people to learn more about [the Worcester County Developmental Center],” said Jack Ferry, WCDC program director. “It’s a unique event.”

Morley Hall will open at 5 p.m. Saturday. A funeral procession, which will include St. Patrick, mourners, clergy, pallbearers and a leprechaun, or two, will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The Ocean City Pipe Band will lead the procession from Seacrets’ parking lot into the hall, where Finnegan, in his “casket,” will be displayed for viewing.

Musician Patrick McAllorum will play Irish favorites

FINNEGAN’S WAKE: Irish wakes mourned the passing of a loved one and celebrated that person’s life. Wakes usually lasted several days and crying, drinking, card playing and jokes were a big part of every affair.

Tim Finnegan was a hod carrier born with a love of whiskey. One morning, he had a little too much to drink and fell off a ladder at work, knocking himself unconscious. Family and friends thought he was dead and quickly took him home, laid him in his bed and started the festivities. First came the tears over his passing, then a proper meal, and finally, the whiskey.

As more whiskey was consumed, more arguments broke out until “Shillelagh Law” took over and fighting began. In the heat of battle, one participant threw a bottle of Finnegan’s whiskey at the head of another combatant. The bottle missed the target, but it hit the wall and a few drops of whiskey landed on Finnegan’s lips reviving him and bringing him back from the dead. that evening. The Ocean City Pipe Band is also scheduled to perform.

From 6-6:15 p.m., 7:30-7:45 pm. and 8-8:15 p.m., mourners can view Finnegan in his

coffin. Jack Ferry Sr. of Ocean Pines and Cecil Tull and Lee Gerachis, both of Berlin, will take turns playing the part of Finnegan.

Annual ‘Greening o’ Delmarva’ comes next weekend with parade, festival SENIOR SLANT

Thousands will gather in OC for March celebration IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer (March 8, 2013) Ya gotta’ be in our town to believe here to believe it. Thousands by land and a few by sea, plus lots of bonafide wannabees will be marching, volunteering, spectatoring and participating in the greening o’ Delmarva during Ocean City’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, March 16. Trust me, folks, our town is de’ place to be that weekend.

Somehow the club has lost track of the parade years. God only knows, so says Dennis Roarty. Thanks to Buck de’

Mann’s expertise and to the relief of chilled curbside participants, the parade starts on 61st Street the second the clock strikes noon. Wending its way south on Coastal Highway, it winds up at newly refurbished 45th Street Village Green, where the Delmarva IrishAmerican Club members set up a spectacular, Irish festival. Bring the family and friends to dine, dance or listen to Irish music, party hearty and participate in boatloads o’ fun and fund raising events.

Rumors abound that dropping green at these events could help get one get through those pearly gates o’fore the devil knows “himself or herself “ left town. The word is on the street that it also helps to know the words and steps

Coming up, a wide variety of Lentwise things to do. The St. Vincent de Paul Society needs help to replenish its pantry supplies for the areas less fortunate.

Canned foods, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni and cheese, pasta, oatmeal, boxed cereals, canned meats or fish are needed.

(March 8, 2013) Men and women can have their head shaved for a good cause: to fight childhood cancer.

The Delmarva Emerald Society’s third annual head-shaving event, scheduled for Saturday at Station 7 restaurant, on Route 707 in West Ocean City, is a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

The festivities will kick off at 4 p.m.

The shaving of the heads will begin around 6 p.m.

Participants have been encouraged to sign up online at www.stbaldricks.org, so donation/sponsorship can be made directly through the Web site.

Those who raise $50 will receive a St. Baldrick’s Foundation T-shirt. Anyone who does not register online, but who still wants to have his or her head shaved, will be welcome on Saturday.

“Quite a few people get caught up in the excitement and want to help out the kids,” said Sean Donovan, a member of the Delmarva Emerald Society’s board of directors and the group’s chaplain. Dono-

Monday thru Friday 4-7pm

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With your practical side dominant this week, it’s a good time to reassess your finances to see what expenses you can cut. Aspects also favor mending fraying relationships.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovine-inspired determination to follow matters through from beginning to end pays off in a big way. Enjoy a wellearned weekend of fun with a special someone.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor re-establishing business relationships you might have neglected. A family member’s request needs to be given more thought before you make a decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) While you might appreciate the avalanche of advice coming from others, keep in mind that the intuitive Moon Child is best served by listening to her or his own inner voice.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s social life whirls at centrifugal speed this week as you go from function to function. Things slow by week’s end, giving you a chance to catch up on your chores.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Don’t let your stand on an issue cause a rift with a colleague. Insist on both of you taking time to reassess your positions while there’s still room for compromise.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An opportunity you’d been hoping for finally opens up. But read the fine print before you make a commitment, especially where a time factor might be involved.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your need to know what’s going on behind the scenes leads you to make some bold moves. Be prepared with a full explanation of your actions if necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A lot of details need tending to during the early part of the week. The pressure eases by the 20th, allowing you to get back to your major undertaking.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A friend asks you to act on his or her behalf in a dispute. Be careful.

You might not have all the facts you need in order to make a fair assessment of the situation.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new development might require you to cancel some of your plans. But you adapt easily, and by week’s end, you could receive welcome “cheeringup” news.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent workplace accomplishments boost your self-confidence just as you’re about to consider a potentially rewarding, although possibly risky, career move.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of the arts is equaled only by your strong sense of justice. People can depend on you to always try to do what’s right.

While easy and delicious, scallops need attention during prep FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Can turn rubbery and lose texture if not careful DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (March 8, 2013) In a time of uncertainty, I become best friends with my diary. Trying to anticipate the future is fruitless, only time will tell the tick-tock of destiny. But in the interim, I must find solace and trust the sandy path will lead me to a smoother direction.

Deep thought is diminished as sea gulls hover the edge of the shoreline. In a split second, my feathered friends can choose the route of the massive Atlantic Ocean or remain content to be a resident of the Eastern Shore. Sometimes the fear of the unknown is less frightening than the choices of certainty.

The daunting sea is a reminder that we are just an infinitesimal part of the universe, but the impressions left in the sand denote every individual makes a difference. There is something soothing about the passing of peaceful waves on my bare feet. Perhaps the cleansing is a sign that a fresh start is just a step away.

I am serving brunch this weekend and scallops will be the featured ingredients.

Sometimes simplicity incorporates com-

plexity; the art of sautéing scallops is not as easy as one thinks.

Most scallops purchased at the supermarket have been soaked in a liquid solution that keeps them looking white. You will need to rinse them thoroughly and dry before seasoning. Afterwards, place the scallops flat side down in a very, very hot pan.

Do not overcrowd or you will lower the pan temperature and end up steaming them.

Also, do not move the scallops until you are ready to turn them or the coveted sear will not be consummated. Overcooking scallops is probably the most common mistake. Remove from the heat when a slight translucent center is achieved. Serve immediately, otherwise the scallops will turn rubbery and lose their juicy, tender texture.

There is much preparation for Sunday. I know I want to serve a frisee salad tossed in a lemon, herb vinaigrette. The flavor of the dressing will parlay perfectly with the scallops. The frisee lettuce will also add texture and color. But I am missing a “wow” factor that will showcase the dish to a more sophisticated level. I know in my heart inspiration will prevail.

Before I say “au revoir” to Mother Nature, images of the Boardwalk packed with tourists consume my every thought.

And in that blissful mirage, I see families strolling down the manmade walkway devouring homemade french fries. It’s funny how crunchy potatoes bring so much pleasure. It was at that moment that a crispy potato basket popped into my mind. Now I know my featured dish is finally finalized — pan-seared scallops adorned in a potato basket and nestled on a lemon, herb frisee salad. I am so relieved and know my guests will be quite pleased.

The beauty of scallops served in potato baskets is, it can be presented as a passed hors d’oeuvre, appetizer, or main course.

This particular recipe focuses on appetizer portions.

Vinaigrette 4 cups frisee lettuce (2-inch strips) 1/2 cup good quality olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest 1 tablespoon minced shallots 2/3 teaspoon fresh thyme 1/2 teaspoon sugar kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 1. Whisk all ingredients except for the lettuce and refrigerate. Toss dressing with the frisee salad when ready to serve.

Potato Basket 3 to 3 1/2 cups grated Russet potatoes

(using cheesecloth, squeeze out as much liquid as possible) 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt no-stick cooking spray medium muffin pan 1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, egg, and salt. Spray 6 medium cups generously with cooking spray.

2. Spoon 1/6 portion of potatoes in your hand and mold evenly into muffin cups, covering the bottom and sides.

3. Spray “baskets” lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Allow muffin pan to cool on cookie rack. When the potato baskets have cooled, very carefully remove and se aside.

Scallops 24 large sea scallops canola oil for sautéing kosher salt 1. Heat canola oil over high heat in a large iron skillet pan. Sauté scallops until a crispy sear is achieved (approximately 2 minutes on each side).

Presentation 1. Place 4 sea scallops in potato basket and serve on lemon, herb frisee salad.

Guests encouraged to engage â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Finneganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a giggle during wake Continued from Page 1B

For a $1 donation, guests will have the opportunity to tell Finnegan a joke or funny story. If he laughs, the teller will win a free drink.

Wealthy Irish would often hire professional mourners, called Keeners, to cry for their departed. During the Ocean City wake, there will be a wailing/crying contest. Points will be awarded for volume,

style and feeling. The winner will receive a prize.

Admission into Finneganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wake is a $20 donation. Happy hour prices will be offered at the bar and a special Irish

than 1,000.

In 2012, 1,308 head-shaving parties took place worldwide. More than $33.5 million was raised.

The local fundraiser is being organized by the Delmarva Emerald Society, a group of career and volunteer firefighters who want to give back to the community. The public is encouraged to attend.

Donations will be accepted, but are

not required, at the door. Music will be provided by Clean Getaway and there will be a silent auction and 50/50 raffle during the evening. Food and drink specials will be offered.

Last year, more than two-dozen men, and a few women, had their heads shaved at Station 7 Restaurant in Pittsville, helping to raise more than $6,300 for the St. Baldrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The place was packed last year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty uplifting at-

mosphere because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising money for the kids,â&#x20AC;? Donovan said.

The Delmarva Emerald Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headshaving events have generated more than $30,000 for the foundation the past two years. The fundraising goal for the third annual affair is $10,000. Thirty people have already committed to cutting their locks for the cause this Saturday.

(March 8, 2013) The line-up of performers for the sixth annual Blues Jam, set for Saturday, March 9, in Snow Hill, includes show favorites Chris English and Burley Strand, better known as Mr. B. Since the 1960s, English has refined his lifetime passion for performing the blues by learning all the subtleties that give sound and feeling to his music.

Mr. B, a soul and bluesman from Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Shore, will bring his drummer Robert Buckner, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Great Unknown,â&#x20AC;? and Miss T on the saxophone. As in the past, Strand, Buckner and Miss T will join Mike Armstrong, plus Angel and Margo Resto, to fill out what is now known as the Snow Hill Blues Jam All-Stars.

Blues Jam is held at the Old Firehouse on Green Street and is sponsored

by Snow Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts on the River Arts & Entertainment District. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with a cash bar and barbecue available for sale. Tickets cost $25 and are available at www.sharpworks.org or at Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stock, 202 W. Green St., in Snow Hill.
