‘Cool’ Berlin unshelves projects Previously stalled actions such as the renovation of Tyson’s plant considered

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) As the town continues to soak in the “cool,” many new and previously shelved projects are being considered. Among the most ambitious is the proposed plan for Tyson’s Park, a revamping of the former Tyson plant on Old Ocean City Blvd. The plan, developed by Vista Design, Inc., has been compared to Northside Park in Ocean City, featuring an indoor and outdoor recreation center, outdoor skateboard park, biking and walking/jogging paths, fishing areas, a fairground and an amphitheater. The overall cost of the park is unknown and the project manager from Vista Design was unavailable for comment. The 16-acre property, owned by

Berlin District 1 Councilmember Troy Purnell, has been unused for more than a decade. Currently a 55,000 square foot building with office and warehouse space stands near the entrance masking large ponds, fields and woodlands behind it. The property also has access to a railroad line. Purnell was unavailable for comment on the project. District 2 Councilmember Lisa Hall supported the plan, suggesting the grounds could also contain a warehouse space, youth center and police substation. Many of the site’s former industrial structures, she believes, could be repurposed for Tyson’s Park. “All of this could be used for indoor skateboarding, basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, walking – it’s there, it just needs to be revitalized,” she said. The Dew Tour currently stores equipment at the site through an arrangement with Purnell. According to Hall the tour has already of-

fered to donate ramps and equipment toward a permanent skateboard park on the site. The grounds have also been frequented by bird watchers and is one of the sites being used during Delmarva Birding Week on Friday, April 25. Although it current lists for $2.7 million dollars, Hall hinted that the property could be sold to the town for less than $2 million. “It’s a fire sale considering what they purchased this property for and what they wanted for it 10-11 years ago,” she said. “With the slots money we don’t have to do a bond or anything; we could probably pay this off in five years and then go after grant money and utilize town staff, town resources, local resources; we have a good community that likes to work and get together. We could do a lot with this, do a feasibility study and see what’s the best way to go with this and do it in phases. But the See BERLIN Page 4

SUMMER PRE-SEASON SALE

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Despite being lobbied heavily this week by those feeling both edges of the sword, the city continued to stay relatively neutral in the ongoing issues surrounding the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood plain re-mapping. As of March 14, the city is currently in the formal 90-day appeal window whereby individual property owners, or the town as a whole, may contest their proposed new FEMA flood designation. But while local insurance broker Reese Cropper continued to lobby on the city’s vulnerability under a relaxed insurance regime, council declined a direct request by some north-end property owners to fund their struggle to have FEMA relax their zoning even further to match the rest of the resort’s oceanfront. “We can facilitate that process, but will not be responsible for challenging the data,” said City Manager David Recor. To do so, the town would need to hire someone to re-do FEMA’s study, costing tens of thousands of dollars and opening the city up to considerable liability. In its notice to the city of the appeal period, FEMA states that “we ask that you review and consolidate any appeal data you may receive and issue a written opinion stating whether the evidence provided is sufficient to justify an official appeal by your community in its own name or on behalf of the interested parties. “If we do not receive an appeal or other formal comment from your community in its own name within 90 days of the second date of public notification, we will consolidate and review on their own merits such appeal data and comments from individuals that you may forward to us.” Essentially, the city will not be exercising the former option and will not be lobbying any appeal in the town’s See FEMA Page 8

use it – where to put windows and lighting in it. I would really like to see Worcester Youth there as a nonprofit and do a long-term lease like the fire company did with the library.” Several town officials expressed optimism on the project, suggesting it be added to the public strategic planning session Mayor Gee Williams proposed during a recent town council meeting. “So many people have so many good ideas and I think that’s another great one,” Williams said. “A lot of these ideas are big and personally I think it’s an exciting idea, but what I would like to do is to convene the community to get their guidance and advice on a whole bunch of options and opportunities that we have and then see where they fall. “My anticipation is that that will be something of widespread support, but we all have to do our jobs and I feel that the citizens can’t delegate their responsibilities as citizens and expect us to read their minds,” he continued. “That’s why we have public hearings and why we have informal neighborhood meetings and all those sorts of things – so that we can go directly to them.

Continued from Page 1 skateboard park – the walking paths – the birding – that kind of stuff – that’s immediate.” Hall compared the proposal for the outdoor amphitheater to the Freeman Stage at Bayside in Delaware, a site known for drawing Grammy-winning talent. She said the property, while it would need EPA certifications before new construction were to begin, is generally in compliance with environmental standards. “The buildings have been stripped – the plant is bare inside; all the equipment is gone and the floors are bare,” she said. “As far as the building it would be a matter of getting an architect and seeing the best way to

Old plant seen as beneficial asset as Berlin looks ahead be a part of that process.” Town Administrator Laura Allen agreed with the mayor’s assessment. “I think that would be an appropriate way to fold it into the discussion,” she said. “There are a lot of moving pieces and we have a lot of projects going on right now. I think it would be helpful to hear from the community – to see what their priorities are so we can move forward in that direction. There’s a lot of buzz in the community about it (and) it would be a good item for that discussion.” Business owners in the nearby area were encouraged by the proposed plan. “I think what we’re talking about is a beneficial asset for the town of Berlin that right now is a liability – you’re converting something that’s a liability into an asset, and I think that’s what all municipalities should try to do,” said Bryan Bushmiller, owner of Burley Oak Brewery. “Ocean City has Northside Park – why don’t we have a Northside Park?” he continued. “I’m driving my kids 20 minutes there all the time. I think it would be a great asset for Berlin and it would give the kids something to do.”

Chris Denny, owner of Cheers on Old Ocean City Blvd., would like to see that section of Berlin developed. “I think it’s a great use for that piece of property,” he said. “I’ve been on this corner of town for 25 years basically by myself before Burley Oak came here. It’s just another great draw for the town. The amphitheater looks really good, and the fishing and walking paths look like a great activity that you could walk to from town.” Although the lack of an overall cost estimate has caused trepidation among some officials, there is a noticeable urgency by others close to the project. Hall, for one, believes the property will be sold by the end of the year and worries it could be used as an industrial facility. “I don’t want us to miss this opportunity and then be going, ‘woulda’ coulda’ shoulda’,’” she said. “I think this property is going to change hands before the end of this year one way or another and I want it to be to the town. “I would be so upset to see this go back to industrial,” Hall continued. “This could be something for the town for all perpetuity to keep the economy going year-round. This could really impact everybody.”

City receives many questions about appeals Continued from Page 1 name. However, city staff will review and advise property owners on any individual appeals they wish to file over the next six weeks. “We don’t have the staff to evaluate them,” said Planning and Community Development Director Matt Margotta. “What we can do is look at them and let [property owners] know ‘you can help yourself by adding this information’ and things to that effect.” “We just don’t’ have the credibility or certifications to endorse everything they send to us,” Margotta said. The city has received strong interest in appeals from ocean front property owners at the extreme north end of town, between 146th and 143rd Streets, whose properties did not receive the same break as their neighbors. When FEMA revealed its new flood risk maps several months ago, it was discovered that most of Ocean City’s oceanfront had been de-classified from its previous designation as a “V” zone, indicating risk of flooding as well as high-velocity impact during storms. This was what the city was hoping for, in part, given that the town had lobbied to have FEMA take the city’s man-made dunes and beaches into account as defense against seaborne storm damage. Much to the town’s surprise, FEMA did not downgrade the “V” zone to an “A” zone – which indicates flood risk

but not velocity – as the city had expected. Instead, most of Ocean City is now an “X” zone, where mortgaged properties will not be required to have flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program. Only the aforementioned uptown blocks, as well as the downtown bayside area and some low-lying areas in the center of town, will still be in the “A” zone that requires full flood insurance on any property being leveraged. While “X” properties are still technically in a flood risk area, they are not in a 100-year flood plain, and are treated much more loosely under FEMA’s building codes. The city adheres to these codes in order to secure the highest possible discount on NFIP policies for in-town structures. The concern of those property owners still in the “A” zone is the effect that mandatory insurance will have on their market values. “It seems to me you should be our sword and shield,” Robert Chertkof, who owns property on 144th Street, told the council. “It just seems inequitable for you not to stand up and help us in some way.” His neighbor, Gwyn Tober, said her previous annual premium of $312 would be going up to between $7,000 and $9,000. However, it is important to note that this is not because of the prop-

ATLANTIC DENTAL

erty’s specific zoning, but because FEMA is drastically reducing the rate subsidies for properties in all zones in order to reduce the NFIP’s deficit of over $25 billion. The rate difference between the “A” and “X” zones, local insurance broker Reese Cropper noted, is actually quite small. The important difference is that those in the “X” zone would not be forced to buy the pricey policy, even if their property was mortgaged. Because of the rate hikes, most properties in the “X” zone are dropping their policies, as is anyone in an “A” zone without a mortgage, Cropper said. Thus, the difference between the two zones will have little impact on those who have paid off their homes and plan to stay in them – but it would make “A-zone” properties essentially un-sellable, relative to similar properties to the south, unless the buyer was paying outright. To get the uptown “A” blocks incorporated in the “X” zone, the appellant would have to prove FEMA’s analysis wrong – a rather tall order given that FEMA is one of the few agencies in the world capable of carrying out a such a comprehensive study. “[FEMA] hits us with their data and there’s little else we can get back from them,” Margotta said. “FEMA has never given us any indication that they care about opinion…that you think the

dune is at the right level or that you think your neighbor is being treated differently than you. The city, or any individual property owner, could hire an engineer to reevaluate the mapping. But prices on this range from $10,000 to $20,000 per property. “The town has the ability to hire our own consulting firm to evaluate whatever comes to us…but I’m not recommending we do that,” Margotta said. “If [private properties] are willing to pay for their own engineer, we’ll help facilitate the process, I think that’s what Matt’s saying,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. The largest building in the northend “A” zone, the Ocean Place Condominium, has already arranged for its own engineer. “We’ve already started our own process,” said Ocean Place board member Mac Balkcom. “I just wish we could’ve had this discussion sooner. A lot of absentee property owners don’t know about this and still won’t until it hits them.” “Even if they’re not condominiumized, all the neighbors should get together are hire an engineer for the whole area,” agreed Councilman Joe Mitrecic. But if a large enough group of property owners were confident in their appeal, Councilwoman Margaret Pillas posed, the city would have no reason

Concern that city not get involved with FEMA issues

to not back them up. “They’re saying ‘we don’t understand why you would not hire a consultant for us because we are taxpayers of the town...and we feel this is not our classification and we want to appeal it,’” Pillas said. “It’s probably not appropriate for the town to get involved with private property owners and how they handle their insurance,” Margotta said. “I don’t know where the line on ‘majority rules’ falls for you, other than to say you’re getting a lot of interest from a certain group.” “It opens the town up to huge liability,” said Heather Stansbury from the office of City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “It would be very hard for staff to regulate how the consultant did his or her job… and in a catastrophic loss scenario, everyone is going to get sued.” On the other side of the coin, some have argued that the “catastrophic loss” scenario is reason for the city to put money not into relaxing flood zones, but lobbying to tighten them or otherwise impose some type of mandatory insurance. “We all seem reluctant to go to the federal powers that be and challenge them on what they do,” Cropper levied. “There’s a deep reluctance to go to FEMA and discuss this.” Critically, he noted, the storm of 1992 that washed over Assateague and did considerable damage to Snug Harbor was not considered in the FEMA data. Neither was Hurricane Sandy, even though both storms did serious damage to the dune line and saw record high waters on the bayside. “If anything, FEMA should at least withdraw the maps for now and look at what Sandy’s effect would’ve been on this city if it had hit as hard as it was supposed to,” Cropper said. “I think you’ll find that most people think it’s the most ludicrous thing to think we’re on a barrier island and flood insurance is going to be optional for most of the city.” To Cropper’s point, FEMA’s downgrading of Ocean City’s risk does seem to be counterintuitive to the purpose of NFIP reform under the Biggert-Waters Act. If the federal government was interested in making the NFIP more solvent, they would continue to charge “V” rates in relatively dense, affluent areas such as Ocean City. “Here’s FEMA saying ‘we need to build up our coffers,’ but in Ocean City’s case people are getting reductions, in some cases massive reductions, even though the Biggert-Waters act takes away a lot of the subsidies,” Margotta said. In fact, Recor noted, national media reported last month that the FBI had launched an investigation into seemingly undue rate reductions in areas of the Gulf Coast that had been decimated by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. “Something’s not right,” Cropper said.

Watch out for motorcyclists on road this weekend

The advisor for the group is Spanish teacher Kira Eade.

(April 25, 2014) This weekend, thousands of motorcyclists are anticipated to visit Ocean City and the surrounding area during the Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally. In correlation with Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, which begins May 1, the Ocean City Police Department is reminding motorists and motorcyclists to “share the road” and be extra alert to keep motorcyclists safe. “Motorcycles are vehicles with the same rights and privileges as any motor vehicle on the roadway,” said Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro. “Motorists should perform visual checks for motorcyclists by checking mirrors and blind spots before they enter or exit a lane of traffic. Pedestrians should also get into the habit of scanning for motorcyclists who might be hidden by other traffic.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are much more vulnerable than a passenger vehicle occupant in the event of a crash. Motorcyclists should remain alert to other drivers, never ride impaired or distracted and always wear a helmet and other protective gear. In order to help keep motorcyclists safe in Ocean City, the Ocean City Police Department would like to offer the following tips: •Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width—never try to share a lane. •Perform a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or exiting a lane of traffic, and at intersections. •Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic. •Allow more following distance – three or four seconds – when behind a motorcycle so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. •Never tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars. In addition, motorcyclists should follow these tips to remain safe: •Avoid riding in poor weather conditions. •Wear brightly colored protective gear and a DOT-compliant helmet. •Combine hand signals and turn signals to draw more attention. •Use reflective tape and stickers to increase visibility. •Never drive while impaired or distracted. In hopes of a safe and successful Bikes to the Beach event and Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, the Ocean City Police Department reminds all drivers and motorcyclists to help share in the responsibility of keeping all road users safe, and do your part by safely “sharing the road.”

A 27-year-old Ocean City man was charged April 14 with second-degree assault and resisting arrest after an altercation at 70th Street and Coastal Highway. An Ocean City police officer saw five men outside a taxi pushing and shoving each other at approximately 1:40 a.m. Apparently, three of the men were trying to separate the other two men. Dawit Yewessen Teferi allegedly grabbed the shirt of the man and was shaking him. Teferi refused to stop when the officer ordered him to do so. He also refused an order to sit down after the officer pulled him away from his victim. When both men were seated and told not to move, Teferi reportedly got up and rushed toward the other man. The officer tackled him to the ground. Two additional officers struggled with Teferi while trying to arrest him.

Drug distribution

Two men were arrested April 22 in connection with the distribution of oxycodone after an investigation by the Ocean City Police Department’s Narcotics Unit. On April 9, a detective met with Shakiem Fiztgerald Williams, 38, of Ocean City. With Williams was Gregory Dornell Snead, 25, of Snow Hill, who allegedly said he sells oxycodone pills. Williams allegedly told the detective to contact him if he wanted to purchase oxycodone from Snead. Later that day, the detective called Williams about purchasing four oxycodone pills for $100. He went to 10th Street, where Williams lives, and sent a text message that he was there. Snead left William’s unit and walked to the detective’s car. The detective purchased four oxycodone pills and Snead gave him his cell phone number. On April 11, the detective called Snead about purchasing four more pills and met him at 66th Street, where the transaction took place. On April 22, the police department’s Quick Response Team executed a search and seizure warrant at Williams’ residence and arrested both men. Snead was charged with two counts of possession of oxycodone and two counts of distribution of oxycodone. Williams was charged with conspiracy to distribute oxycodone.

Marijuana

On April 22 at approximately 10 p.m., a Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy observed a white BMW driving northbound on Route 113 in the area of Brick Kiln Road with the passenger side tail light out. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, Justin Alex Byron, 30, of Boston, Mass. While speaking to Byron. the deputy detected the odor of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A search was conducted and the deputy found a bag of suspected marijuana in the driver’s side door. Byron was charged with possession of marijuana and released on a criminal citation pending a trial in District Court.

Shore real estate market shows some positive trends

RECOGNITION OF FRIENDS Volunteers of three county library groups are honored during a luncheon at the Ocean Pines Community Center. Pictured, from left, are Worcester County Commissioner Judy Boggs, Carol Wanzer, treasurer of the Friends of the Ocean Pines library; Harriet Creter, president of the Friends of the Berlin library; Pat Johnstone, president of Friends of the Ocean City library, and Jennifer Ranck, deputy director of the Worcester County Library and manager of the Ocean City library. Each Friends group was presented with a framed proclamation from the office of President Barack Obama in recognition and appreciation of commitment to provide volunteer service.

(April 25, 2014) The Eastern Shore of the Maryland real estate market, including Worcester, Wicomico, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s, Talbot and Caroline counties, experienced some positive trends in March compared to the same month in 2013, according to The Long & Foster Market Minute reports. In March, the number of homes sold and the median sale price increased in several parts of the Eastern Shore. The Long & Foster Market Minute reports are compiled from data from residential real estate transactions within specific geographic regions, not just Long & Foster sales. The number of homes sold in March increased in some counties along the

Eastern Shore region. Talbot County experienced an increase of 15 percent, while Caroline County saw a 4 percent increase and Wicomico County saw a 3 percent increase. Other areas saw decreases of 5 percent to 28 percent. According to March data, the median sale price varied throughout Maryland’s Eastern Shore region. Caroline County experienced a 6 percent increase, followed by Dorchester County with a 2 percent increase. Worcester County saw a 2 percent decrease in median sale price. Talbot County experienced a 3 percent decrease in median sale price, while Queen Anne’s and Wicomico counties saw decreases of 8 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Inventory throughout the Eastern Shore area also varied, according to March data. Wicomico and Worcester counties saw decreases of 15 percent and 1 percent, respectively. Talbot County saw a 1 percent increase and Queen Anne’s County saw a 3 percent increase in inventory. Dorchester County experienced an 8 percent increase in active inventory, while Caroline County saw a 9 percent increase. Homes in the region are selling in about five to eight months on average, according to the March data. Queen Anne’s County experienced an average days on market (DOM) of 96 days, while Dorchester County saw an average DOM of 131 days. The rest of the region saw homes selling between 135 to 212 days, on average. “Though the housing market got a slow start this year after a harsh winter, we’re beginning to see some positive trends happening in the real estate market, including in the Eastern Shore region,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer for The Long & Foster Companies. “In many places, we’re seeing homes selling quickly and increasing in median sale price. Now that the temperatures are heating up, we expect to see many continued improvements in the market.” The Long & Foster Market Minute is an overview of market statistics based on residential real estate transactions and presented at the county level. The reports include information about each area’s units sold, active inventory, median sale prices, months of supply, new listings, new contracts, list to sold price ratio, and days on market. Featuring reports for more than 500 local areas and neighborhoods in addition to more than 100 counties in eight states, The Long & Foster Market Minute is offered to buyers and sellers as they aim to make well-informed real estate decisions.

OP board has new contracts with gen. mgr., Casper Golf

and if they do well, he shares in the benefit of that.â&#x20AC;? The amenities involved in the possible bonuses are the Yacht Club, the Beach Club, aquatics, golf and marinas. Thompson is eligible for bonus payments up to a maximum of 25 percent of his base salary, or approximately $40,000, for a possible annual income of $205,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He still has the responsibility of maintaining the community and keeping it up to speed,â&#x20AC;? Terry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was to get away from the situation at the end of every year where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re figuring how much to give as a raise.â&#x20AC;? Directors Marty Clarke and Jack Collins voted against the new contract with Thompson, who has been general manager since August 2010. The board of directors also voted to approve a new contract with Casper Golf, which manages the Ocean Pines golf course. This contract gives Ocean Pines the option to cancel, with no penalty, the contract after the end of the golf season, typically November or December, if the financial performance and overall performance do not improve, Terry said. The overall performance, Terry said, refers to the upkeep of the course, the treatment of golfers and the overall golf experience.

Bob Thompson could also receive bonuses if areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amenities record increases By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) In addition to a pay increase, General Manager Bob Thompson could get a bonus if Ocean Pines amenities do well. Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current salary of $150,000 per year increases to $165,000 per year for three years and he has the potential to earn more. The difference is that he may not be paid for performance, Tom Terry, president of the Ocean Pines Association board of directors, said Tuesday.

Shepherd’s Crook plans to open new OC facility May 1

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) When the Shepherd’s Crook opens its door to offer food and fellowship to the needy, it will be at a new location. The food pantry of St. Paul’s bythe-Sea Episcopal Church is moving from the county-owned white building on Caroline Street so it may again be used by the county Health Department during the summer season. Its new location is nearby, at 203 S. Baltimore Ave. Opening day is expected to be Thursday, May 1. “We’re moving to a bigger place with more services,” said Joe Fisher, church sexton. “There will be places where people can sit and a telephone and computers for people to use.” On Tuesday, Fisher and other volunteers were welcoming the needy and offering the usual four cans or boxes of food plus a few ham dinners left over from the Saturday’s lunch provided by the NOEL community. Those went fast and those who missed out were offered a fresh pasta salad and deviled eggs. The food was welcome. “These people are so generous and nice,” said Mark Martin, as he accepted granola bars and cans of Vienna sausages to take with him. “I

appreciate everything they do for us.” Martin has had a rough winter, but expects life to improve, especially if he can find a job. He expects to meet a man Friday about a job at a pizzeria and thinks he has a good chance of becoming employed. He recently had to move out of his rental unit when the landlord increased the rent substantially for the summer season. Landing a job would mean he could pay rent again. “I think they’re awesome,” said

Charles Boone, who goes to the Shepherd’s Crook whenever it is open. “They do a lot for everybody. Many a day, if it wasn’t for them, I’d go hungry.” “They give food and clothing,” said Derrick Percifull as he accepted some food items before helping himself to a bowl of pasta salad to take to the Boardwalk. “They do a wonderful thing.” Percifull said he is a very experienced carpenter, but has been unable

to find work. He remains hopeful because of the coming summer season. “Jobs are everywhere now, but what do you do in the winter?” Percifull said. “This isn’t an easy town. This town is hard, man.” The men went to the Boardwalk to eat their pasta salads. There, they encountered John Cimetta, who had never been to the Shepherd’s Crook, but planned to go after hearing them talk about it. See SHEPHERD’S page 17

Bus service may see change OC plans local terminal take back unless Greyhound formally renews agreement by end of business day By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Local residents and employees who depend on public transit may be receiving a one-two punch this summer, as the city’s planned hike of in-town bus fares will be accompanied by a change in Greyhound service. Although the nation’s largest bus line indicated this week that it planned to continue service to Ocean City in some form, the Town of Ocean City is planning to take back the bus terminal at the West Ocean City Park & Ride facility unless Greyhound formally renews its agreement with the city by close of business today. “We’re looking to continue service through another provider,” Greyhound spokeswoman Lanesha Gipson said this week. “We’re still working with the other carrier to finalize those details.” That other carrier is said to be Shore Transit, the state-backed transportation service organized by the Tri-County Council for Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties. Greyhound customers would presumably be taken via Shore Transit from the Salisbury terminal to Ocean City, although it was unclear how this would differ from Shore Transit’s normal service between its Salisbury hub and the resort. What is also unclear is whether or not Greyhound will be renewing its agreement with the city that allows it to use the city-owned Park & Ride as a bus stop and ticketing location.

During recent budget sessions, city Public Works Director Hal Adkins informed council that the city’s formal agreement with Greyhound to use the facility, originally signed May 1, 2009, had expired as of Sept. 30, 2013. Since then, Adkins said, he had not heard from Greyhound, but had allowed its buses casual access with the assumption that renewal was forthcoming. With summer approaching, Adkins said earlier this week that he has notified Greyhound that the town will consider the agreement terminated if it is not renewed in writing by April 25, with payment beginning May 1. Public Works crews would otherwise remove the signs, re-stripe the staging areas as regular parking spaces, and no longer grant casual access. The city was projected to earn $21,809 this year in fees from Greyhound, but expend $13,563 to staff the terminal, according to the city’s draft 2014-2015 budget. “It was never a money-making venture for the town,” Adkins said. “We were simply trying to assist Greyhound in their effort to relocate off of Second Street. Currently housing a parking lot, the dilapidated bus terminal on Second Street and Philadelphia Avenue was abandoned five years ago. In an email, Gipson stated that “customers will still be able to purchase Greyhound tickets at the station or online for travel to and from Ocean City” even if service is turned over to Shore Transit. Continuing to do so would, however, likely require a new agreement with the Town of Ocean City, which had not been reached as of press time.

Shepherd’s Crook to relocate Continued from Page 16 Unlike the others, Cimetta has a roof over his head each night, but life is still rough. His job working for a maintenance company starts tomorrow and he is looking forward to earning money. “In winter, you starve here,” said Cimetta, who has lived in Ocean City since 1976. “It’s hard. Even people with jobs find it difficult to make ends meet, he said. “Rents keep going up, but the pay stays the same,” Cimetta said.

Those in need and even those not in need financially are welcome at the Shepherd’s Crook. Although the church must pay rent for the new space for the Shepherd’s Crook, the food will remain free. “Like God’s love,” Fisher said. “We have never charged anyone for any reason.” The Shepherd’s Crook was displaced after a Nov. 26 fire, started by a disturbed former client, who set himself ablaze and entered the building adjacent to the church. The fire killed him and the church’s pastor and critically injured a volunteer.

Critical issues discussed during health forum Worcester County takes on everything from government reforms to patient services

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Health system reform, mental health and rabies were the topic of discussions during the Worcester County Health Department’s annual Public Health Conference, last Wednesday at the Clarion Hotel on 101st Street in Ocean City. The conference, now in its fifth year, was led by Worcester County community leaders and attended by public health officials. Worcester County Commissioner Judy Boggs led off the conference. Boggs, who has attended each of the last four years, said this would be her

final conference as she is not running issues. for reelection. Previously a health care “That issue really troubled me,” she administrator in Baltimore, she spoke said. “And I learned that the real battle against those illnesses, injuries and about her experience in the industry. “Opening our first center in Dun- diseases begins with those who dedidalk, we were open 24 hours a day,” cate themselves to public health.

Atlantic General Hospital CEO Michael Franklin, Lower Shore Health Insurance Assistance Program Coordinator Kat Gunby and Worcester County Health Department Medical Director Dr. Andrea Mathias each spoke about Worcester Health System Reform. “This is really not just an evolution of health care reform, this is a revolution in health care payment systems,” Franklin said, addressing the issue of hospital waivers and the new regulatory environment in Maryland. Maryland began its system of rate regulation in 1971 and was the first state to enact an all-payer system in relationship to Medicare. Franklin called for a new model, saying the current charge per-case system focuses only on hospital inpatient care while failing to address outpatient growth. Under the current system, “it’s become the responsibility of hospitals to keep people from coming to hospitals,” he said. “The point of all of this is how do we improve the quality of care and the experience that a patient has … and the overall hope to this is to bring costs down.” Jennifer LaMade, director of Planning, Quality and Core Services at the Worcester County Health Department, and Tracy Tilghman, director of Behavioral Health at the Worcester County Health Department, spoke about mental health issues in the community. Janet Tull and Angela Richardson, both environmental health specialists the Worcester County Health Department, spoke about facts and fictions involving rabies. The conference also promoted several upcoming health care programs and initiatives. Sponsored by the TriCounty Diabetes Alliance, the one-mile fun walk “Spring into Action” will be held in Northside Park on Saturday, May 3. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. For more information call 410632-0056 or visit www.tridiabetes.org.

City approves land swap, property purchase Property-for-land exchange will enable OCBP to build new, needed headquarters By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Despite public skepticism over whether or not the city was getting a fair shake in the deal, city council passed the final reading of two ordinances this week that will facilitate the land exchange for the new Ocean City Beach Patrol building. The town will swap the current OCBP property with the Ocean City Development Corporation in return for land one block north to build a new beach patrol headquarters. Additionally, the city will be backing OCDC’s use of inlet parking fee

proceeds to pay off the $816,000 purchase of additional land, adjacent to the current OCBP building, from the Hall family. Former Councilman and political advocate Vince Gisriel lobbied council Monday night to “do their homework” before sealing the deal, pointing out that the city was not getting an even swap from OCDC and was using outdated and potentially inflated values on the property it was purchasing. “On first blush, the city is giving up almost twice the amount of land that OCDC is swapping for,” Gisriel said. But the resounding response from the town was that the deal involved much more than could be shown on the assessments and appraisals Gisriel referenced. “I don’t want anyone to believe

that the Mayor and Council are making this decision blindly,” said City Manager David Recor. “They understood that this was not necessarily an even swap of acreage and assessed value…there were bigger factors than just having land for the beach patrol.” The city is nearly finished with the design of a new OCBP headquarters, to be built on three tax parcels currently owned by OCDC and located on the southeast corner of Talbot Street and Philadelphia Avenue. Once the new facility is completed, OCDC will take possession of the current OCBP building, located on eight parcels spanning the east side of Philadelphia Avenue between Dorchester and Somerset Streets. This property abuts the two parcels being purchased from the Hall family, consisting of the old Pioneer Hotel and an adjacent residence on the northwest corner of Somerset Street and Baltimore Avenue. With the exception of two small lots on the northeast corner, this will create a publicly owned “model block” between Dorchester and Somerset Streets and Baltimore and Philadelphia Avenues, where OCDC hopes to design a mixed-use project that will enable downtown renewal. The project will then be marketed to an outside developer for construction. Funding for the purchase of the

Hall properties will come from inlet parking lot revenues, of which 50 cents of every fee - $2.50 per hour Monday-Thursday and $3.00 FridaySunday – is allocated to OCDC. Since the non-profit group does not have taxation powers itself, the city’s allowance to OCDC is the group’s only guaranteed source of income, and thus the purchase must be backed with the full faith and credit of the town. The city will allocate $216,000 for a down payment, and will mortgage the remaining $600,000 over six years at two percent interest, for a total expenditure of $858,000. Gisriel’s concerns were two-fold. First, he noted, the assessed value of the land the city was giving up was far greater than what it was getting from OCDC. While the parcels being surrendered have a total area of .598 acre and a taxable value of $2,596,400 per the state assessor, the land for the new OCBP facility is only .344 acres valued at $875,700. “Clearly the value that the assessment office has put on the eight parcels of the Mayor and City Council far outweighs the three parcels from OCDC,” Gisriel said. Secondly, Gisriel noted, the appraisal of the two parcels being purchased from the Hall family is two years old, and determines the prop-

City Council paves way for OCBP exchange with OCDC erties’ values using comparable sales that are four or five years old. “The appraisal you’re relying on… does not reflect current conditions. It takes you out of the realm of the current market,” Gisriel said. But Recor countered that the seemingly far-flung comparables – which include properties outside of the city limits as well as sales which did not close – should be taken as a reflection of the city’s diligence in trying to find references for a property that was uniquely situated in an otherwise slow-moving market. “A way of looking at the appraisal is the lack of obvious comparables for this particular property, which is why great length was gone to find these,” Recor said. The city and OCDC have been trying to secure the block for years, Recor noted, which puts them in a unique position. “As I’m sure you’ve heard, a property is worth what someone is willing to pay for it,” Recor said. “After an offer, a counter-offer, and another counter-offer were made, the council did not vote at the last stage to go back and have the property re-assessed.” In reality, the party likely getting the worst deal is not the city or the Hall family, but OCDC. Despite the relatively high value of the land the group will get, they are not receiving it carte blanche. “The titles will transfer [to OCDC],” said Heather Stansbury from the office of City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “But the Memorandum of Understanding with the town will not allow OCDC to do anything with the property unless the town approves it.” Further, when the “model block” properties are sold, the proceeds will go to the town. The MOU prohibits any sale otherwise, and the deeds will transfer to the town if OCDC dissolves, Recor noted. “I’m completely confident that it will be in the contract that everything reverts to the town,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. “It’s time to give the beach patrol what they need.” Negotiations for the deal were apparently more strained between the town and OCDC, as was alluded to this week, rather than between the public entities and the Hall family. “It was not a slam-dunk,” said OCDC President Bob Givarz.

“OCDC came in with a ceiling [to pay the Halls] and we didn’t agree with that ceiling,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. The purchase was only secured late last year when OCDC offered to sweeten the deal by footing 30 percent of the annual debt payments for the $2 million the town borrowed for the new OCBP building. OCDC had lobbied heavily to keep the beach patrol downtown, arguing that its employees provided a needed summertime population and economic stimulus to the area. The town had previously expressed interest in moving the beach patrol to a more centralized location in the resort, against the wishes of the OCBP and OCDC.

Sting nabs four in smuggle attempt of cigarette packs Contraband valued by state at better than $159,000

(April 25, 2014) One New Jersey man and three New York men were arrested this month after allegedly transporting loads of cigarettes from Virginia into Maryland. They were arrested by a sting operation conducted April 15-18 in Worcester County. Agents with the Field Enforcement Division of the Comptroller’s Office seized 24,750 packs of cigarettes, valued at more than $159,000, and three vehicles. “Cigarette smuggling not only takes revenue out of state coffers but also makes cigarettes easily accessible to young people,” said Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot. “I am delighted my agents made these arrests and will prosecute the smugglers to the fullest extent of the law.” Each man was charged with willful transportation of unstamped cigarettes, a felony that carries a mandatory fine of $150 for each carton and possible jail time of up to two years. Each also was charged with willful possession, to sell or to offer to sell unstamped or improperly stamped cigarettes, a misdemeanor charge

Mullins going for Clerk of Court GOP hopeful has 22 years experience as deputy clerk, land records supervisor (April 25, 2014) After 22 years of service in the Worcester County Circuit Court, Eric Mullins, deputy clerk and land records supervisor, has announced his candidacy for the position of Clerk of the Circuit Court being vacated by Clerk of the Court Stephen Hales. Mullins will seek election in the June 24 Primary on the Republican ticket. The Clerk of the Circuit Court is an independent, elected office within the Maryland Judicial System. Elected by the people of Worcester County, the Clerk of the Circuit Court currently oversees 25 employees and manages two operating budgets. The clerk’s office provides a variety of essential services including filing, processing, and maintaining all civil, criminal, and juvenile records as well as recording land deeds, mortgages, and plats. In addition, the clerk’s office issues marriage licenses and business licenses, and also performs civil ceremonies. Established in 1658, the clerk’s office was created as an impartial keeper of the records to ensure the safety and integrity of all court documents. Mullins’ experiences as supervisor of Land Records and Licensing, as well as his work in the community, have prepared him for this level of responsibility. Not only has he excelled in performing his duties as supervisor of Land Records and Licensing, Mullins has had experience in working with various departments within the Court House under the domain of the Clerk of the Circuit Court during the two decades he has worked there. His certifications include the Court Supervisors/Managers Certification and the Court Professionals Certification, both of which are three-year programs. If elected, Mullins has pledged to continue the technology upgrades that are in progress at the Circuit Court as it moves to a fully automated, paperless system. This will enable county records to be more easily accessed and more safely stored for future generations. In addition, he is committed to improving the working environment at the Circuit Court to one that is more conducive to providing efficient and courteous service to the public. Born and raised in Worcester County and a lifelong Republican, Mullins has led a life of service in the community as well. He is currently president of the Snow Hill Town Council, having served as a City Councilman for the past 10 years and president for five. This position has provided Mullins the opportunity to

www. facebook.com/ oceancitytoday

oversee the town’s $3 million budget and gain experience in prudent management of public monies. At the same time, under his terms, the town acquired the new $11,000,000 wastewater treatment plant; completed Heath Manor, a housing community for senior citizens; and eliminated the annual lot assessment charged to citizens. Mullins will not seek re-election for another term on the council, but will seek the Clerk of the Circuit Court position instead. In addition to City Council, Mullins has been an active member of the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Department for 23 years, and has held various leadership positions including president, first assistant chief, first lieutenant of the fire department, first lieutenant of EMS and captain. In addition, he has been awarded Fireman of the Year several times during his 20-plus years as a firefighter. Mullins sees the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court as another opportunity for service to the community. “The Clerk of the Circuit Court depends on the public, not the other way around. We are here for the people, and it is my pledge to serve the people of Worcester County fairly and courteously while holding to the highest standards of excellence in doing my duties,” he said. “I feel I

have done that in every other position I have held as President of the City Council, President of the Fire Department, and Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court. My dedication and record stand for themselves, and I hope the people will find me worthy of their confidence and vote on June 24.” For those wishing to support the candidate or to obtain further information about Eric Mullins and his campaign, there will be an official campaign announcement for the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court on Friday, May 2 at the old Snow Hill Fire House on Green Street in Snow Hill. The purpose is to discuss the campaign and to solicit volunteers and campaign workers. The event will start at 5 p.m., with the candidate speaking at 6:30 p.m. sharp. The public is invited.

BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS BRIEFS By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) The Board of License Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during their Wednesday, April 16, meeting.

Lazy Lizard The board approved the request of attorney Hugh Cropper IV, on behalf of owners Wayne Odachowski and Todd Hayes, to increase the size of the raw bar and to relocate that bar to the waterfront, pending approval by the town of Ocean City. The owners purchased off-site parking to make it possible to relocate the raw bar. The former ticket booth for personal watercraft will be used for food and beverage service. Cropper said the Ocean City Development Corporation, the Ocean City Police Department and the Ocean City Downtown Association were all in favor of the change.

The board also granted live entertainment inside until 1 a.m. and a disc jockey inside until midnight.

The Globe The board approved the request of owner Jen Dawicki to sell alcoholic beverages to go in open non-glass containers during the Jazz and Blues Bash from noon to 8 p.m. May 3 and the May Day Play Day Celebration from noon to 9 p.m. May 10. A bar will be placed in the alcove of the Broad Street establishment during those events.

Bourbon Street The board granted the request of attorney Regan Smith for a seven-day beer, wine and liquor license for Bourbon Street on the Beach, which will open at the Fountainhead Condominium at

WORCESTER COUNTY NOTICE OF A PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX DECREASE The Board of County Commissioners of Worcester County proposes to decrease real property taxes. 1. For the tax year beginning July 1, 2014, the estimated real property assessable base will decrease by .9% from $14,441,353,721 to $14,315,812,587. 2. If Worcester County maintains the current tax rate of $.77 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will decrease by .9% resulting in a $966,667 reduction in real property tax revenues. 3. In order to fully offset the effect of decreasing assessments, the real property tax rate could be increased to $.7768, the constant yield tax rate. 4. The County is considering not increasing its real property tax rate enough to fully offset decreasing assessments. The County proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $.77 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is .9% lower than the constant yield tax rate and will result in a $966,667 reduction in real property tax revenues. A public hearing on the proposed real property tax rate decrease will be held at 7:00 P.M., on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at Snow Hill Middle School, Snow Hill, Maryland. The hearing is open to the public, and public testimony is encouraged. Persons with questions regarding this hearing may call (410) 632-1194 for further information.

116th Street. The new, upscale restaurant will serve lunch and dinner and will specialize in Cajun cuisine and New Orleans seafood. It will also offer salads and wraps for lunches on the beach. A jazz trio will perform on weekends. The restaurant will have 40 seats at the bar, 85 seats in the dining room and approximately 35 seats on the outside patio.

Live entertainment is permitted outside from 11 a.m. to sundown Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to sundown Sunday. Gerardi said musicians would be going from table to table playing requests from customers. The music would not be loud, he said. He also said he had met with nearby residents who supported his request, he said. Board attorney Tom Coates said the board had received letters of support for Gerardi’s requests from the mayor and Town Council and four residents. Two Bay Street residents told the board that the music would not be offensive during daylight hours, which is why the board stipulated that the outside music end by sundown.

Tex-Mex Country Cooking The board approved the request of owner Eric Gerardi to have live entertainment with a maximum of three pieces inside from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-9 p.m. Sunday.

Runners could delay traffic (April 25, 2014) The Ocean City Police Department is reminding citizens to expect traffic delays the morning of Saturday, April 26, during the 10th annual Ocean City Island 2 Island Half Marathon and 5K. This year, half marathon runners will begin the race at Assateague Island and make their way to the finish line at the inlet parking lot. Runners participating in the 5K event will remain on the Boardwalk and will not affect traffic. Upon reaching Ocean City, runners will travel east on Route 50 in the far right lane and cross the Harry W. Kelley Memorial

Bridge before crossing Philadelphia and Baltimore Avenues to reach the Boardwalk. Drivers should expect delays in the downtown area beginning at approximately 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. Traffic on Baltimore and Philadelphia Avenues will be intermittently stopped in advance of runners reaching the intersections and may at times be stopped for several minutes to accommodate runners without delay. Event participants and spectators are urged to use crosswalks while crossing roadways and motorists should be extremely vigilant in the downtown area during this event.

Sobering news given music festival set for Bike Week Country, bluegrass event, however, granted permit to sell alcoholic beverages

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Plans for a major music festival during Bike Week near Berlin and Ocean Pines were dampened, but not destroyed April 16 when the Board of License Commissioners denied the request of a former Ocean City police officer for a three-day alcoholic beverage permit for the event. The board told Tim Keane he could sell beer and wine during a country and bluegrass festival July 18-20, but could not have a similar permit for his planned Soundwave Music Festival Sept. 11-13. Keane had asked for a beer, wine and liquor permit, but he will have to offer non-alcoholic beverages instead. “The police have all they can do [to handle the Bike Week traffic],” said William E. Esham Jr., chairman of the Board of License Commissioners. Esham also said Keane had shown no need for the alcoholic beverage permit for the festival, which is one of the requirements to get a permit. In addition to Bike Week festivities at the inlet parking lot in Ocean City, events are planned at the Greene Turtle, the convention center, Harborside, Hooter’s, Tap House, Dog Patch Trader Lee’s, and the Oasis. All of those events will include alcoholic beverages and all will generate traffic. Keane said last Thursday that he had written support from Sheriff Reggie Mason and Maryland State Police and that he still plans to hold the event at Airlift Acres, a 50-acre site at 11039 Worcester Highway near Holy Trinity Cathedral. “I think they were just looking for a reason,” Keane said of the board’s denial. Keane, founder and president of Law Enforcement Officers Safeguarding America Foundation, a non-profit organization, said it would be putting on the festival. All profits after expenses would go to it and Ocean City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10. An optimistic posting on Facebook on March 17 stated that the Soundwave Music Festival “is possibly going to mark the best rock concert ever held in the Ocean City resort and surrounding Berlin area. This is going to set a new bar and standard for many years to come.” During last week’s hearing before the Board of License Commissioners, Keane said the music festival would be for families and would include children-friendly events such as pony rides. The Web site, www.airliftentertainment.com, also stated the event would include pig races, hayrides and carnival games. According to the Facebook page

for Airlift Entertainment, the lineup for the Soundwave Music Festival would include Kix, Slaughter, Trixter, L.A. Guns, Saving Abel, Shallow Side, Spider Rockets, Saints of Rebellion, Blameshift, Never Thought, Station, Another Lost Year, Cold Gin, Seven Ten Oil, Streetlight Circus, Wayland, Lynam, Korupt and Kickin Valentina. Although it was promoted as an all-ages show and there would be games and pony rides for children, the Facebook pages said it was looking for participants for the bikini bike wash and T-shirt contest. Money from those events would go to the ASPCA. In addition to bands, the Soundwave Music Festival plans to include bikini bike washes, games, competitions, silent auctions, T-shirt contests, food vendors and merchandise vendors. According to online information, the three-day general admission price is $110 and the three-day VIP admission, including a meet and greet and after-party, is $180. A March 28 post on Facebook announced that the VIP passes were very limited and prospective buyers were advised not to wait much longer before purchasing tickets. An earlier post on March 13 stated tickets were selling fast and an even earlier post on March 7 stated only a “very, very limited quantity of VIPs left.” Keane obtained a special exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals on Dec. 12, 2013 to hold special events. That special exception permits the special events in the A-1 agricultural district, but festivals may be held only four times per year. The county defines those festivals as events “conducted as an ‘agritainment’ facility for up to three consecutive days for the purpose of promoting products grown on the farm or farm-related education or recreation.” Furthermore, the county restricts the number of those transient use approvals that may be granted for a specific property to two years. He said last week that he would try to have the county code changed, by offering a text amendment, that would loosen that restriction so he could continue to hold events at Airlift Acres. Keane had obtained a special exception for a transient use at the property on Oct. 11, 2102. The special exception permitted Keane to hold the Labor Day Weekend Music Festival at the site Aug. 30-Sept. 1, 2013. Although it featured such bands of Slaughter, Pure Zeppelin and Quiet Riot and he had expected a crowd of approximately 500 people, attendance was sparse. During last week’s hearing, Keane said, “We lost [money] last year. Big time.” Profits were supposed to go to charities, but they got no money, Keane said.

Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IT described as being in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tread waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation Unfunded, but necessary expenditures in question

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) With final budget discussions slated for this coming Tuesday, and the first reading of a passage ordinance scheduled for May 5, the Town of Ocean City is still roughly three weeks out from finalizing its 2014-2015 fiscal plan. But while city leaders are looking to cut at least part of extra penny the city is proposing to tack onto to the tax rate, a number of unfunded but arguably necessary expenditures are still out in the wind. In particular, City Engineer Terry McGean recently described the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Information Technology budget as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tread waterâ&#x20AC;? proposition. Simply by the nature of the beast, large-scale IT operations are like The Blob â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have to expand in order to survive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year was really tough, we were already $126,000 over where we were last year, so we only put the critical things in,â&#x20AC;? McGean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year, there will be another batch of high priorities and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go through this again.â&#x20AC;? The city IT budget is currently projected at $1,996,239, a 6.8 percent increase over last year. But this is likely far below the rate of growth necessary to sustain the operation. As McGean explained, the accepted industry standard is that a new piece of technology will cost 15 percent of its purchase price each year after that in upgrades and support. Thus, the purchase of new technology will reduce the availability of funds to purchase more technology in the future, assuming the budget is fixed. To illustrate, McGean presented City Council with a pie chart of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenditures. A blue section represented new purchases that were not really new, but updates and upgrades to existing equipment in order to keep it functional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The green slice of the pie pulled out is the amount in our budget that I would actually call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new stuff,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? McGean said, noting that the green slice is only about nine percent of the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time we purchase a piece of new software, the blue slice gets bigger and it makes the green slice smallerâ&#x20AC;Śunless the pie grows.â&#x20AC;? In fact, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue sliceâ&#x20AC;? is probably smaller than it should be, given that the city is straining to catch up on upgrades. The budget includes replacement of 50 Windows software packages next year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but this will still leave the city with 226 PCs running Windows XP, which Microsoft has declared obsolete and no longer supports.

IT budget, one of several still facing fiscal uncertainty Continued from Page 28 The most important, and pricey, part of McGean’s list of unfunded projects was implementing an external, third-party backup system for the city’s servers. The town stores all financial, budget, and property tax data on an AS/400, a specialized server created by IBM, which comes with offsite back-up. However, the city’s main servers – i.e., those which store everything not related to accounting and taxation – are located at the Public Safety Building on 65th Street and are backed up internally by the city’s own network software. “That backup process takes longer and longer and it uses up more and more of the capacity of the virtual servers,” McGean said. What would be less of a burden on the city’s network would be to have a third party pull data from the city and back it up using software outside the city’s own network, reducing the clog. This would cost $43,000 annually, plus an additional $30,000 one-time setup cost. Even more secure, McGean said, would be for this third-party to replicate the city’s network on their own servers, located elsewhere. That way, if a catastrophic malfunction were to occur at the Public Safety Building, all would not be lost. This would cost another $46,000 per year, but would guarantee the town to be fully restored within 48 hours of system failure. The impact of these costs are being felt by municipalities across the state and nation, which is why Maryland is currently looking at setting up a staterun backup system. “They are looking to become that third party,” McGean said. “We are hoping we’ll be able to work with them to do this cheaper.” However, the state has no timeline as to when such a service will be available. “We tend to get things done a lot quicker at this level,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. McGean also said the city was due for a risk assessment of its network – which, while more esoteric than buying a hard piece of new technology, was no less important. “I suspect a risk assessment is just going to tell us we should have offsite recovery,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. On the other hand, Dare said, the city could not hurt itself by having some type of outside security review, given the number of high-profile data breaches occurring around the country. “Target probably cut that out of their budget, too,” Dare said, referencing the incident late last year in which hackers released 40 million credit and debit card profiles of the chain store’s customers.

Springfest celebration kicks off Thurs. in OC Festival features more than 250 art and craft vendors, assortment of music, food

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Springfest returns to Ocean City next week with four days of food, live entertainment and arts and crafts vendors packed under big-top tents at the inlet at the southern end of the city’s famous Boardwalk. The festival traditionally ushers in the start of the summer season in the resort and will kick off its 24th year next Thursday, May 1. “It’s the springtime kickoff to Ocean City’s summer season at the beach and Boardwalk — an event for the whole family you don’t want to miss,” said Brenda Moore, special event coordinator for the Town of Ocean City. Admission is free to Springfest, except for some headlining musical acts that require tickets. The festival launches Thursday at 10 a.m., when Mayor Rick Meehan will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony officially opening the Springfest grounds. Navy ROTC will post colors, Stephen Decatur High School’s Concert Choir will sing the National Anthem and the OC Stars will perform. Thousands travel from across the country each year to enjoy the music, arts and crafts vendors and dozens of food

Even more have come in the past, such as in 2012, when 106,321 guests came out for the four-day event. “We are expecting a great turnout. After such a long, snowy winter, I think people are ready to kick off the season,” Moore said. More than 250 artisan vendors will be on site selling everything from jewelry and candles to photography, clothing, pet accessories and many more items. Springfest visitors should also bring their appetite as more than 30 food ven-

Aside from headlining acts, there will be musical performances from country and jazz music to dance troupes, all free to visitors. “We are excited to bring back the Fourth Annual Local Band Jam,” Moore said. “Local musicians get together on the Springfest stage and actually jam to-

gether.” This year’s jam band lineup includes Jeff Davis, Joe Mama, John Remy, Joe Smooth, Kevin Poole and Lauren Glick. New this year, Robert Eric’s Tribute to the Piano Man will deliver Billy Joel’s hits to the crowd, closing out Springfest on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Headlining acts include a sold-out performance by county music star Merle Haggard, who takes the stage Friday night.

Understanding our business by the numbers By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Barry Morrison, left, Martin Schlegel and Kirk Kinnamon (not pictured) opened SS Vape on Philadelphia Avenue at 18th Street last week. SS Vape offers e-cigarettes and products to those age 18 and older as well as all the accouterments from its spot in the Village Market shopping.

SS Vape owners look at new business as healthy option E-cigarette store opened on 18th Street; shop will offer ways to quit former habits

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Ocean City’s newest vape shop, which sells e-cigarettes and all the accompanying supplies, opened on 18th Street last Monday. Passersby might easily miss SS Vape, which is tucked between Pizza Tugo’s and OC’s Restaurant Sushi Bar on Philadelphia Avenue, but for those who do come in, co-owner Barry Morrison sees the store as “saving lives, one smoker at a time.” Not smokers themselves, Morrison and co-owners Martin Schlegel and Kirk Kinnamon see vaping — the term for using e-cigarettes — as a realistic way to help smokers quit cigarettes, which pack thousands of chemicals. Unlike the traditional product, e-cigarettes heat up a mixture of water vapor, nicotine, propylene glycol and flavors to deliver nicotine. When customers come in, an employee sits down to help them find an ecigarette flavor and nicotine level to mimic their current habit, Schlegel explained. “The average person comes in here and they’ve tried every way to quit smoking,” he said. “We try to get the same taste, the same feel, so they can

get off smoking and the carcinogens.” As Morrison, who worked as a doctor for 30 years before retiring, put it, “We bridge the gap.” Smoking is a two-fold addiction, he said. There is the physiological craving for nicotine and the actual “hand-tomouth” habit smokers adopt, and vaping sates both those habits. When smokers make the switch, they no longer have to leave their surroundings to smoke. It also helps their families, since there is no second-hand smoke to inhale from vaping. “The other thing they notice is a big difference in their wallet,” said Schlegel. After buying the initial hardware, which runs between $70 and $120, vaping costs about $20 a week, compared to buying packs of cigarettes, he said. The new shop on 18th Street and Philadelphia Avenue is part of the small SS Vape franchise, which has shops across the bay in Westminster, Timonium, Hannover, Pa., and other locations. It is the first of three stores the SS Vape name has planned for this area, with other sites set to open in Berlin and West Ocean City this summer. The shop carries more than 300 flavors of juices, from watermelon and strawberry to thin mint and tiramisu. It has seven brands, all of which are made in the United States, Schlege said. “Pretty much, you name it, we’ve got it,” he said.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

SS Vape is Ocean City’s newest vape shop.

For newcomers, the staff at SS Vape will sit down and explain the products to them. “We take the time in here to educate the people about what the product’s all about and how to use it,” Schlegel said. “It’s exciting for us to help people get off cigarettes.” SS Vape is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 125 p.m. Sunday. It’s located in the Village Market shopping center on Philadelphia Avenue at 18th Street, between Pizza Tugo’s and OC’s Restaurant Sushi Bar. Patrons must be 18 or older to shop at SS Vape. All purchases have a lifetime money back guarantee, Schlegel said. Because the Food and Drug Administration largely does not regulate e-cigarettes and they are a relatively new product, claims about their efficacy in helping kick smokers’ cigarette habits are still tentative.

Prep girls’ lax team wins tournament Lady Mallards earn 18-6 victory over Wilde Lake and edge out Howard, 15-13

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 25, 2014) Victories over the Wilde Lake Wildecats and the Howard Lions during last Saturday’s Karl Wolf Girls’ Lacrosse Tournament in Ellicott City, earned the Worcester Prep team the championship trophy. The Lady Mallards battled Wilde Lake first, and by the halftime break they had put together an 11-3 lead. The Prep team went on to win 18-6. “We got off to a rough start. We were playing kind of sloppy, but we worked some of the kinks out and pulled it together,” said Worcester Coach Allie Gamble. “We started playing the way we know how. We started playing our game. I thought we played well, overall.” Seniors Kristen Shriver and Lilly DiNardo, a team captain, scored six goals each. Junior Sophie Brennan and senior captain Alie Greer (one assist) netted two goals apiece. Seniors Frankie Willing and Meg

Lingo chipped in with one goal each. Senior goalie Maddie Pilchard stopped eight Wilde Lake shots. Howard trounced the Reservoir Gators, 21-7, to advance to the championship round. The Lions jumped on the Mallards early in the tournament finals, pulling ahead 6-0 after about 10 minutes of play. The Lions were winning the draws and capitalizing on fast breaks, Gamble said. She called a timeout to make some adjustments, which seemed to work. Coach Gamble “The girls were a little discouraged, but [Assistant Coach] Marci [Ginsberg] and I told them we were better than them and we knew we could beat them,” Gamble said. The Mallards chipped away at the Lions’ lead and by halftime, they only trailed 8-7. The Prep team continued to fight back. Shriver cut the lead to one (1312) late in the game. Gamble called a timeout to run a play for Shriver.

“She was on fire. We wanted her to get the ball,” Gamble said. With about four and a half minutes remaining in the game, Shriver evened the score, 13-13. Brennan and DiNardo scored a goal apiece in the final minutes to secure a 15-13 victory over Howard. “I thought we were in better shape and faster then them,” Gamble said. “Our girls wanted it more. The girls stepped up to the plate and they rose to the challenge.” Shriver was Worcester’s top producer with six goals and one assist. DiNardo tallied four goals. Brennan and junior Molly Soule (one assist) had two goals apiece. Greer (two assists) and senior Cynthia Delaney each netted one. Pilchard recorded 13 saves. Each team picked a tournament MVP and the award for Worcester went to Shriver. “We just want to take this momentum and run with it,” Gamble said. “The girls fight and they work hard. We’ve just got to keep working hard.” Worcester’s next match is scheduled for Monday in Magnolia, Del. against the St. Thomas More Academy Ravens.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (April 25, 2014) Despite competing without two starters, the Stephen Decatur softball team pulled out a 7-3 victory over the Snow Hill Eagles, Tuesday. “We played hard and well. I am so proud of each and every girl on the team,” said Decatur Coach Heather Patnode. “I am very fortunate to have a team that believes in the sport, the Coach Patnode program, the coaches and their team. It’s so much fun to be around them and to see them work hard every day for a win.” Senior captain Taylor Black doubled to left field in the first inning and scored off a senior captain Beth Laque double with two outs. In the third inning, Elisabeth Hanssen, an exchange student from Germany, got on base with a single. Black advanced her with a double. The girls scored off a Laque double. Decatur ended the inning with the bases loaded. Snow Hill got on the board with a run in the bottom of the inning. The visiting Seahawks added four runs in the fifth inning to pull ahead 7-1. The Eagles tallied one run in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings. Four Seahawks–Black, Laque, junior Kayla Heinz and freshman Samantha Kefauver–went 2-for-4 at the plate. Patnode said Laque was “amazing” on the mound. She struck out 11, walked one batter and allowed three hits. “We had six errors, which cost us two of [Snow Hill’s] three runs,” Patnode said. Patnode was pleased with Hanssen’s performance in her debut as a starter. This is her first year playing softball. “Elisabeth Hanssen played right field and had two amazing catches. It was her first time starting a game and she did wonderful,” said Patnode, who added that the junior continues to improve her skills and increase her knowledge of the game. Decatur and Snow Hill will meet again in Berlin on Saturday at 10 a.m. On Monday, the Seahawks will battle the Wi-Hi Indians at 4 p.m. in Salisbury. With the regular season wrapping up in the next week and a half, Patnode said “if the girls keep their spirits high, keep their faith in each other and keep playing as hard as they have been, we will finish strong with the end of our season. I have complete trust in that the girls want to finish as strong as I do, and I know they will.”

Decatur tops Snow Hill Tues.; second match-up Saturday By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor

(April 25, 2014) The Stephen Decatur baseball team scored nine runs and held its Worcester County foe, the Snow Hill Eagles, to two during Tuesday’s match-up. The visiting Seahawks tallied three runs in the first inning and tacked on one more in the second to take a 4-0 lead. Decatur added three in the fourth to Coach Ferro increase its advantage to 7-0. Snow Hill put a run on the board in the bottom of the fourth, but Decatur answered with two in the fifth. The Eagles scored its final run in the sixth inning. Decatur Coach Rich Ferro was pleased with the Seahawks’ performance. “We played well and threw strikes for the most part. Hits were distributed through the line-up,” he said. Senior Jacob Hickman went 2-for3 with 2 RBIs. Juniors Grant Donahue and Ryan Bennett each had two hits. Sophomores Zach Adams and Lane Dillon, junior Justin Meekins and senior Chase Coursey contributed with one hit apiece. Junior Sean Colgan pitched four innings for Decatur. He struck out seven, allowed two hits and walked two. Coursey threw three innings. He struck out four Eagles, walked one and gave up two hits. The two teams will face off again Saturday at 10 a.m. in Berlin.

(Clockwise from above) Fred Negrijn of Exeter, Ontario, studies the lifesize great blue heron carved by Gary Eigenberger of Green Bay, Wis. during the 43rd annual Ward World Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival last year. An extremely life-like carved owl stares straight ahead. A goshawk carved by Toru Twahashi of Sanda City, Japan, seems to be flying in the resort convention center.

World’s best carvers gather in OC Approx. 1,200 carvings of more than 150 wildfowl on display in resort this wknd.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Carvers, collectors and visitors will gather by the thousands this weekend as the world’s best woodcarvers flock to Ocean City for the 44th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival. From decorative art to functional decoys, almost 1,200 carvings of more than 150 species of wildfowl will be on display at the 40th Street convention center during the competition. “You really have an opportunity with these carvers to see species of birds you’d never see in your lifetime,” said Eric Turner, director of special events at the Ward Museum in Salisbury. “The detail on them – these birds – is amazing.” Around 600 carvers the United States, Canada and around the world will compete for cash prizes, ribbons and trophies at this year’s competition, Turner said, but the biggest win at stake is the reputation that comes with an award. “Part of it is just the prestige of being named the top in the world. It

helps them in the future for getting commissions,” he said. Competitors of all levels, from youth to world champions, will battle for $60,000 in prize money spread across 39 divisions, from life-size wildfowl to gunning decoys, contemporary antiques and more. For those who want to take home a piece of the festival, vendors will be on site offering art, home décor, photography, jewelry, carving supplies and other goods. Kids of all ages can enjoy activities such as painting miniature decoys, soap carving and other arts and crafts at the Kid’s Corner. On Saturday, collectors have the chance to take home one of more than 60 carvings donated by artists during a live auction. Bidders must register from 12-2 p.m. for the event taking place from 2-5 p.m. in the Bayfront Ballroom of the convention center. There will be a cash bar and registration is free for the event. On Sunday, master falconer Brian Bradley will bring his hawks, owls and falcons to give love demonstrations during his Skyhunters In Flight program at 11 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. In addition to seeing works by the top wildfowl artist across the globe, there will be classes throughout the weekend on topics such as sketching

and clay modeling, airbrushing, youth carving and more. Visitors can register for them onsite Friday morning before the judging begins for about $15 per class, Turner said. Visit http://bit.ly/RsYo2a for a full list of seminar topics and times. Each year the Ward World Championship draws between 5,000 and 6,000 members of the public, Turner said. “There’s a variety of different reasons for people to come out. We have a lot of people with, obviously, an interest in birds, whether it’s waterfowl, wading birds or raptors,” he said. “It’s all outdoors and bird related.” Other comes to see the master falconer or to witness “a level of woodworking they never have before,” Turner said. Admission to the World Championship costs $10 for a multi-day pass or $8 for seniors and students. Children under 12 get in free with an adult. Visit the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. Visit www.wardmuseum.org for more information.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Ocean City’s best bar and restaurant mixologists will compete for the title of “Best Bloody Mary” in town this Sunday, April 27, at Fager’s Island on 60th Street. The eighth annual contest sponsored by local Ocean 98 WOCM Irie Radio starts at noon and will feature 20 of the town’s best Bloody Mary’s. Swampcandy will be on hand playing music during the event. For $10 at the door, attendees — who must be 21 or older — will get to sip, sample and ultimately decide who has the best Bloody Mary in Ocean City. “This is my favorite event because you don’t have to drink Bloody Mary’s to enjoy the day,” said Lesley Bunting, the 49th Street radio station’s promotions director. “It’s nice to get out and take part in an event that’s different and fun.” Restaurants will compete for three awards: Best Overall Bloody Mary, Spiciest Bloody Mary and Best Presentation. Each will take home a trophy and all the bragging rights associated with it, said Irie Radio’s DJ BK. There may be a fourth category at this year’s event, but visitors will have to wait and see Sunday, he said. Last year, nearly 500 members of the public came out to the contest and voted Fish Tales’ “Crabby Mary” — a drink topped with smoked jumbo lump crabmeat and garnished with leafy celery — the “Best Bloody Mary,” BK said. The four-time defending champion will be back again this year to compete against Fager’s Island, Seacrets, Kirby’s Red Onion Grill, Smitty McGee’s and many more bars See BEST Page 51

Fish Tales won "Best Overall Bloody Mary" for the fourth consecutive year. Pictured, from left, are Manager Brandon Hemp and Sean and Jennifer Robins.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Ocean City’s sky will fill with color this weekend as thousands return for the 20th annual Maryland International Kite Expo, a free event on the beach from Second to Sixth streets. Events kick off today and continue through Sunday with stunt teams, kite demos and kites as large as a city bus filling Ocean City’s skies, said Kite Loft Owner Jay Knerr. “Spectators will experience the thrill of watching sport kite demonstrations and get the opportunity to meet the greatest kite flyers in the world,” Knerr said. “Visitors will understand why Ocean City is the kite capital of the world.” Riding on the coattails of National Kite Month in April, the festival is an offshoot of autumn’s Sunfest Kite Festival in Ocean City. “A lot of our customers were asking for more, so we saw the need to do a springtime event,” Knerr said. Stunt teams — what he called “the Thunderbirds of the kiting world” — will perform acrobatic maneuvers to music each day of the festival. Kite clubs from the East Coast and beyond will showcase their kites with air and See COLORFUL Page 52

others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end.

At Fourth Street, kite aficionados will show off their larger-than-life creations, with giant alligators, sea horses, blue whales and flying pigs soaring above the beach. “Pretty much any shape you can imagine will be up there,” Knerr said. “It’s always exciting to see because most people have never, ever in their lifetimes seen kites of this size flying.” The Mid-Atlantic Sport Kite Championships return this year, with almost 500 skilled flyers from around the region, the West Coast and Canada competing on two- and fourlined kites. They will battle in precision maneuver competitions, cutting shapes in the sky with their kites, and in “ballet” events where they fly choreographed routines to music. Keep an eye out for candy drops, which give children a chance to scramble for wrapped candy dropped from a kite flying above, throughout the festival. There will be music at the Kite Loft on Fifth Street and the Boardwalk throughout the weekend and the store will offer free lessons on how to fly kites and sport kites on the beach Saturday and Sunday. “We always encourage the general public to come down and bring their

Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally in full swing

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Ocean City’s Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally is in full gear, with a poker run, bike rodeo, custom bike contest and much more taking place throughout the area today through Sunday, April 27. As they have for the past three years, Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City and Oasis Bar and Grill in Whaleyville will host the lion’s share of rally events, which began yesterday. Between 15,000 and 20,000 bike enthusiasts from Maryland and the surrounding states showed up for the spring rally last year, said Hooper’s General Manager Ryan Intrieri, and he expects even more for the 2014 event. “It looks like we’re going to get some beautiful weather this weekend,” he said. Participants can register for the spring rally anytime today or Saturday at Hooper’s, just across the Route 50 bridge in West Ocean City. Registration costs $20 and includes an official rally T-shirt, drink tokens and chances to win prizes, including a seven-day Carnival cruise. Hooper’s will have live music all weekend and between 20 and 25 vendors on site selling gear for bikers and their rides. Actress, model, performer

and “Miss Bikes to the Beach” Michele Smith will take the stage Friday and Saturday and will be on hand to sign autographs and pose for photos. Down the road at Oasis, midway between Ocean City and Salisbury, there will be live entertainment all weekend long and a lineup of unique events. Today, the bar at 7539 Old Ocean City Road will host a circus-style lineup of entertainers, including a juggler on a nine-foot-high unicycle and a contortionist, Owner Bobby Riccio said. All day Saturday, there will be a hotdog-eating contest, frozen T-shirt contest and a midget paintball manhunt, where participants win prizes for nailing a moving target. The Motorcycle Rodeo, which presents passengers with a number of challenges, also takes place at Oasis Saturday. Sign up from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the rodeo starting at 1:30 p.m. There will be prizes for winners and the first 20 pairs to sign up get a $20 gift certificate to Oasis. At dusk, enjoy D.C. group Dance Afire, which will give a fire blowing performance that lights up the night. The weekend wraps up at Oasis Sunday with a Locals Biker Blowout with $1 drafts and other drink specials all day.

“It’s a unique thing that goes on,” Buccio said. For the last two years, American Legion Post #166 has hosted an annual poker run during the Spring Bike Rally. The event returns Saturday, taking bikers on a trip around the area starting at Hooper’s at noon. Riders will win prizes, trophies and other door prizes. Register for the poker run online at www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/ delmarva-bike-tour-events or at Hooper’s Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Each bike costs $20, plus $10 for an extra passenger. All proceeds from the poker run will benefit Women Supporting Women, a local breast cancer foundation. The Custom Bike Show also takes place at Hooper’s Saturday. Bikers will have a chance to showcase their rides and compete for the top prize, a chance to be featured in Thunder Rose Magazine. Categories include classic motorcycles from 1983 or earlier, customized bikes and best of show. The Bike Show starts at 1 p.m. Register to compete from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hooper’s. Registration costs $10 and all proceeds go to a local charity. Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/delmarva-bike-tourevents for more information on the

event. Other Ocean City venues hosting Spring Bike Rally events are 28th Street Pit and Pub, Dead Freddie’s on 64th Street, JC’s Northside Pub on 127th Street, De Lazy Lizard on First Street, Coins on 28th Street and Hooter’s in West Ocean City. Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/ delmarva-bike-tour-events for information on specific events happening at each location. The Spring Bike Rally started four years ago on a traditionally slow weekend in Ocean City, Intrieri said. “There wasn’t really anything that was a draw” to bring visitors to town, so he teamed up with Oasis to create the Spring Bikes to the Beach Really, he said. “Here we are four years later and it’s growing the right way. It’s grown by decent amount,” Intrieri said. “We found that we were getting a lot of good local support.” He added: “This isn’t about Oasis and Hooper’s. This is about a community event to bring people to the beach.” Visit www.oceancitybikestothebeach.com/delmarva-bike-tourevents for more information about the Bikes to the Beach Spring Rally, running today through Sunday at Hooper’s, Oasis and other Ocean City locations.

Annual Board Walkin’ for Pets Saturday in OC By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Hundreds of pet owners and their four-legged friends will meet on the Ocean City Boardwalk Saturday for the 15th annual Board Walkin’ for Pets, an event to benefit the Worcester County Humane Society. Registration for the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. at the inlet, where there will be refreshments for people as well as their dogs. The walk costs $15 a pair and is the humane society’s largest fundraiser of the year, said Bev Sweitzer, chair of the Board Walkin’ committee. “It’s such an outpouring of love for the animals to see all these people coming together to support the shelter,” Sweitzer said. “Since we’re nonprofit, it covers our vet expenses, our food — daily expenses for running the shelter.” Last year, around 240 walkers and their pets came out, raising nearly $30,000 for the no-kill shelter, she said. Walkers can start their trek anytime they want, starting at 9 a.m. They can take the full five-mile Boardwalk route from the inlet to 27th Street and back, or make the 2.5-mile trip to 12th Street and back. There will be refreshments for walkers and their dogs at both turnaround points.

Approximately 240 people walked a dog during the Worcester County Humane Society's 14th annual Board Walkin’ for Pets event on the Boardwalk last year. Pictured, dogs compete in a contest before the walk.

At 9 a.m. there will be contests for Largest Dog, Smallest Dog, Best Dressed, Pet and Owner Look-ALike, Best Trick and Sloppiest Kiss. Winners will take home a tote bag filled with items such as dog treats and toys, leashes and collars, Sweitzer said. Cat lovers can also take part in the

Cutest Cat photo contest by bringing a photo of their feline, which will be posted on a board for the public to vote on a winner. Photos should including the owner and pet’s names, address, phone number and e-mail address. The winner takes home a prize basket full of cat-related treats.

Walkers who raise the most funds for the humane society will earn other prizes, including gift cards to local restaurants, golf courses and stores, Sweitzer said. Board Walkin’ for Pets takes place on the last weekend the city allows dogs on the Boardwalk and many vacationing pet owners in town join the event, she said. “Just to see the support that we get from the public – it’s almost overwhelming at times,” Sweitzer said. New this year, the humane society will also host its inaugural “Paddle with Your Pooch” the next day, Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Coastal Kayak on Route 1 in Fenwick Island, Del. Paddlers don’t need a dog to participate in the event, which will provide participants with a kayak and life jacket in return for their donation. All proceeds go to the humane society. For more information about Board Walkin’ for Pets or Paddle with Your Pooch, call the human society at 410213-0146 or search “Worcester County Humane Society” on Facebook. Visit www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.org to learn more about the county’s no-kill animal shelter, located located at 12330 Eagles Nest Road off Route 611 in West Ocean City.

Kemps enjoy family trip to Washington, D.C.

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (April 25, 2014) When it comes to tripping off to the Washington, D.C. with the family to check out a “peep show,” it’s a far cry from the days of yore. There’s a whole different entity involved. The entire family, from tots, teenagers, baby boomers and seniors will enjoy the show of peeps among

other historic and amusing attractions at Maryland’s National Harbor, along with outstanding views overlooking the nation’s capital. There’s something for everyone at this beautiful, interesting, definitely family-oriented attraction. A mixture of reasonably

priced family welcoming restaurants, hotels and motels makes for an ideal place to spend a day, weekend or a week or two vacationing in this area. Oops, I almost forgot to tell my readers about the highest ferris wheel on the East Coast and the beautiful giant size carousel in the park being set up on the Potomac shoreline. The old broad is having serious thought about a “covers all” bus trip. Inter-

ested? Let me know. The senior bowling league wrapped up its season with a banquet at Doc Berger’s, beautiful Crystal Ballroom at the Clarion. Jim Geslois, justly deserved, his Bowler of the Year award. This affable, personable, nice guy has helped many locals, including the Kemps over the years.

Coming in a close second was J/R’s Ribs team of Joan Haffer, Amy Rossiter, Wayne Hopkins, Carroll Wagner and Jack Funk. New in town and wanna’ be found? The after bowling, dine out events at the sponsors’ restaurants presents a great opportunity to check out the menu and prices at the local restaurants. Ya’ just never know when your visitors might offer to take you out to dinner or if you decide to treat them. The after bowling events at the sponsors’ restaurants opens up a whole world of “known how.” Your visitors will rave to their friends about your “savoir faire” about where to go and what to do in our big/little seaside city. Definitely the safest city on the East Coast. Bowling, cajoling, trolling or just out strolling around our town I found Jack and Lorraine Taylor, Rita Strunke, Jack and Pat Funk, Toots Bower, Steve and Jackie Nutwell, Grace Jenkins, Joe and Jane Mulhol-

land, Dean and Bernie Vilsack, Donna and Dick Ball and Betty and Butch Stiemly. Oh yeah, I’ve been spotted around town all hours of the night with several young men. Not to worry, they’re members of the family. Most men hate to see a woman cry, so my kids are pulling out all the stops. Shades of the 60s, when I refused to throw money down the drain for some fad that one of them just had to have, but needed like a hole in the head. I’m standing firm on my decision about not needing a weekly house cleaning service. I have enough holes in my head, besides I need the exercise. Incidentally, last weekend my belief in the Easter bunny was totally restored by the bodaciously, humongous bunny that popped up in front of my car in Caine Woods. I swear he was at least 5 feet tall when he stood up on his hind legs and shook his giant size paw at me. No doubt the same bunny that pelted the car with jelly beans that night. C U IN OC TODAY

Worcester County Arts Council offers program Young artists, ages 5-12, participate in weekly activity to stimulate creative juices

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) Each Wednesday at 4:15 p.m., children ages 5-12 flock to the Worcester County Arts Council building across the street from the Berlin Coffee House on Jefferson Street. For an hour, they focus on a project under the guidance of Fig Tree Studio’s Kate Russell and Erika Uebel. Last week, the theme was a cutand-paste project about spring, but

the group has done everything from crafting wire sculptures to learning lessons inspired by Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko in the two months since the after school program got started. “They get told all day what to do. We like the individuality of each class,” Uebel said. “We try to keep it open-ended,” Russell agreed. “It takes it to a different level, where they have to think about what they’re creating.” The program was born from a demand in the community, said Anna Mullis, executive director or the Worcester County Arts Council. “There are parents in the area who

are really reaching out and looking for art programs,” she said. Not only do the group classes improve developing motor and social skills, but they also help children “think through the art,” Mullis said. “It’s something that really opens the children’s minds. They express themselves — their emotions — through art.” Across the table spread with paint, tin foil and glue, the young artists sat testament to that last Wednesday afternoon. When asked to name her favorite part of the session, Cecilia Uebel, 9, said it was being able to “abstract anything you wanted.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Sweet potatoes, yams vary in look, nutrition content

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (April 25, 2014) Sensing change can be unsettling for those who feast on certainty. Enlightenment comes in many flavors, but does one have the perception to distinguish the clues of fate? When ambiguity is emulsified with the present, I retreat to my comfort zone. The kitchen soothes my soul for food is my passion. A new day beckons my quest for answers, food for thought is my purpose intended. Orange hues span the Eastern Shore. Enjoy the aura of tranquility, for it will eventually dissipate. Glorious sunshine makes its presence known; my sleepy eyes focus on a basket of sweet potatoes. I am fascinated by their simplicity. Many interchange the terms “sweet potatoes” and “yams,” but the root vegetables are very different in their appearance and nutritious content. Sweet potatoes, unlike yams, contain See TOSS Page 63

Toss sweet potato fries in Old Bay, salt, pepper Continued from Page 62 large amounts of Vitamin A, calcium, iron, Vitamin E, and omega-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Sweet potatoes possess an orange flesh whereas yams have a white, purple or reddish-flesh. Time to open doors and allow fresh air to filter in beckons my call. The birds are in their glory, there is much catching up after a harsh winter. Honeysuckle smiles and bids bonjour. A cup of black-cherry yogurt is on the menu for breakfast. I must confess as I am munching away, my mind wonders to the subject of lunch. The thought of sweet potato fries is tantalizing indeed. Potatoes are all about starch and water and the cooking method controls the reaction between the two. White potatoes and sweet potatoes are quite dissimilar and therefore cook very differently. The high-starch composition of russet potatoes makes them suited for frying. However, sweet potatoes contain less starch and in addition contain an enzyme that will convert some of the starch into sugar at certain temperatures. For those who are not a food scientist, what does this mean? Sweet potatoes do not exude much moisture. As a result, the outer coating is not able to steam which inhibits the crispness process. Creating a light batter or slurry will solve this problem. The goal of frying is to dry, harden and brown the particular product. Hot oil causes moisture and air inside the batter to evaporate. Simultaneously, proteins within the batter will harden, making your batter crisp. While all this is going on, you are also browning both the proteins and carbohydrates, creating new flavorful and textural components. Let us review the basics to come up with a solution. Using 100 percent flour will result in too much gluten; in other words, the crust will not have the most appealing presentation. Corn starch is pure starch, meaning that its protein content is essentially zero. Using 100 percent corn starch produces no gluten when combined with water, which yields little browning. But if one were to add baking powder, a whole new dimension opens up. It raises the pH of the batter which in turn increases the browning capabilities. Baking powder also creates tiny air pockets that bubble up as it hits the hot oil which ensures a lighter, crispier coating. However, an over-bakingpowdered batter bubbles up so much that it does not adhere to the item for consumption. The goal is to inflate the bubbles to maximum capacity without rupturing them. The general ratio is 1 teaspoon baking powder to approximately 1 cup of flour/corn starch. Consider replacing a portion of flour with corn starch; the rewards will receive rave accolades. There is last one consideration; the size of the sweet potato fries. The lowstarch sweet potatoes often burn before they crisp. Cutting them into larger fries helps the issue at hand. Sometimes solving a challenge creates a new one. The short time it takes to

create texture will not be sufficient to cook the thick wedges all the way through. According to Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Illustrated, blanching the fries in water first produces a creamy interior. Then fry the potatoes in oil which will obtain the crunchy exterior. All of this talk about sweet potato fries has my mouth watering. If one has the obsession with the infamous, crunchy potatoes - consider sweet potato fries as a healthy alternative. If obesity is to be a thing of the past, let us consider making simple changes in our daily menu. Ingredients Â˝ cup all-purpose flour Âź cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder Âź teaspoon salt Â˝ cup water plus 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon egg, beaten

1 tablespoon vegetable oil Old Bay Seasoning, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges, wedges cut in half at an angle peanut oil for frying 1.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine until well mixed. Set aside. 5. Bring 2 Â˝ quarts of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add potatoes and allow water to return to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer and cook until exterior turns slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove fries

and place in a colander to allow any excess water to drain off. 6. Heat peanut oil in a 12-inch nonstick pan over high heat to 325 degrees. 7. Whisk batter to recombine. Place fries in batter and coat entire surface. 8. Using tongues, carefully add small amounts of fries into the oil and cook until crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan with the sweet potato wedges. When the are done, place on cooling rack. Repeat this process until all of the fries are cooked. 9. While the fries are warm, toss in Old Bay, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately.

Ocean Pines Players to present ‘The Psychic’ Directed by Karen McClure, play will run May 2-4 at Life Center in Ocean City

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (April 25, 2014) The Ocean Pines Players previewed their latest production for the media at the St. Peter’s Lutheran Community Life Center in Ocean City, on Tuesday, April 15. “The Psychic,” directed by Karen McClure, opens Friday, May 2. “I’m kind of new with the players and I’m the newly elected president of the players, so partly I wanted to set the example I wanted others to follow, which is ‘step up and volunteer,’” McClure said of her directorial duties. “Since I was new blood with the players I thought this was the right thing to do. And I like the play a lot.” Casting began at the end of 2013 with rehearsals beginning in February. “Because of the holidays we delayed everything and did a leisurely rehearsal schedule only two nights a week in the beginning,” McClure said. “Now we’re working a lot more.” “The play has a nice twist and it really is unusual,” said Don Kleine, a veteran member of the Ocean Pines Players who was on hand during the

preview. “I don’t think I’ve ever read a play or done a play that was like this. It’s very interesting. The play is a comedy – you should get some yucks out of it – and it’s just a good evening. It’s a very good cast and a very well-rehearsed production.” McClure introduced the rehearsal with a statement to the attending media. “We’re pleased that you came out here for this event that is new for us

and also a big risk,” she said. “Most theater companies don’t want to share their production until they’re ready for prime time.” The new players president said she wanted members of the media to have an opportunity to cover the play in advance before the May 2 opening. The cast wore clothing that was suggestive of their costumes, and the stage was sparsely decorated with props that will be used in the final

public production. Between scenes, the actors walked off stage to simulate the curtain closing, and McClure ran sound on her iPhone. Kleine was particularly complimentary of Berlin resident Gina Ashton, who plays “Rita Malone” in the play. “She is the reincarnation of Vivian Blaine from ‘Guys and Dolls,’” he said. “Her voice – her attitude – it’s just like her. She’ll knock your socks off. They’re all good but I was especially taken by her.” Sammy Barnes (“Adam Webster”), Dana Herson (“Laura Benson”), Seth Merson (“Johnny Bubbles”), Bill Ellis (“Detective Norris Coslow”) and Paul Kahn (“Roy Benson”) round out the cast. “I want the audience to have a good time,” McClure said. “It’s not a learning play – it won’t change your life – but it is funny and it’s quirky and I just want everyone to enjoy it. It’s a play that anybody can see and it’s good for all ages.” “The Psychic” is scheduled to run May 2-4 at the Life Center, on 103rd Street in Ocean City, and will feature local artists displaying and selling their work before each production. Additional dates may be added depending on attendance. For tickets or more information call 410-208-6786 or visit www.oceanpinesplayers.org.

Needed: Part-Time Dishwasher 9-3 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Call 410-213-4700.

Final Chicken Festival in June

(April 25, 2014) The Delmarva Chicken Festival, a tradition on the Delmarva Peninsula since 1948, will make its 65th and final run, June 20-21, at the Queen Anne’s County 4-H Park near Centreville. First organized as a one-time backdrop for a national competition to develop a better meat type chicken, the event continued as a popular means of promoting and spotlighting Delmarva’s growing chicken industry. But, times have changed and Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc., the trade association for the peninsula’s chicken industry and the event’s overall sponsor, has announced that it will discontinue sponsorship after the June event. DPI in partnership with the Queen Anne’s County Delmarva Chicken Festival Committee is working to make the 65th Delmarva Chicken Festival a grand finale for this long running event. Delmarva’s giant fry pan will be among many festival attractions. People who have never seen the pan won’t want to miss this last chance to view the 10-foot pan in operation and to enjoy some fried chicken. In addition, there will be baby chicks, educational and historical poultry displays, children’s activities, competitions, commercial exhibits, arts and crafts and music. Admission is free.

Md. Coastal Bays Program National Drug hosts workshops, April 29-30 Take Back Day Group seeks community input on issues impacting water quality, bay health (April 25, 2014) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program is hosting workshops from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29 at the Snow Hill Middle School and again on Wednesday, April 30 at the Ocean Pines Country Club to seek community input on the updated Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan that addresses current and emerging issues impacting water quality and the health of the bays and waterways behind Ocean City and Assateague Island. The workshops are set up to allow participants to arrive any time during the three-hour period and browse information stations that appeal to their interests. The CCMP is a 15-year culmination of technical and community involvement to protect the future of our bays. It is a plan of action items created for MCBP by local individuals, community groups and government agencies. The original plan was finished in 1999 and is being updated as a 10year compilation of management recommendations from scientific

studies, new local, state and federal initiatives and the continuation of older successful outreach efforts to watershed residents. The new management plan includes four sections: Water Quality, Fish/Wildlife/Habitats, Recreation and Navigation, and Community and Economic Development. There are a total of 15 goals, 35 objectives and 216 action items that have been vetted by partners and the public. Science serves as the foundation to the management of MCBP, but the community, the watershed stakeholders is the most impacted by this plan. MCBP encourages everyone to attend a workshop as the public’s attitudes, perceptions, beliefs and knowledge is crucial to protecting our bays. Input from farmers, developers, commercial and recreational fishermen serves as an integral part of the non-regulatory plan. Take five minutes to fill out the survey located on the MCBP Web site, www.mdcoastalbays.org and attend one of the workshops. Both workshops are the same, but held on different dates and places in an effort to accommodate as many attendees as possible. Any questions, contact Sandi Smith at 410-213-2297 ext 103 or sandis@mdcoastalbays.org.

(April 25, 2014) The Maryland State Police in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration are asking citizens to dispose of unwanted prescription drugs during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at state police barracks on Route 50 in Berlin. State police barracks throughout Maryland will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day. Each barrack will act as a collection station giving citizens an opportunity to dispose of all unwanted and unused prescription drugs. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Second only to marijuana, non-medical prescription drugs are the most commonly used drug in the country. Locally during the last initiative in October 2013, troopers collected more than 1,100 pounds of prescription drugs. Nationally, 648,000 pounds (324 tons) of prescription medications were collected from members of the public. When added to the collections from the previous five Take Back events, more than 3.4 million pounds (1,700 tons) of prescription medications have been removed from circulation. Call Lt. Earl Starner or Sgt. Marc Black at 410-641-3101 or 410-653-4236.

Decatur Lifesavers’ spin event raises funds for Red Cross

(April 25, 2014) West OC Fitness recently donated its facility and spin instructors for Stephen Decatur High School’s Decatur Lifesaver’s “Spin Like A Hurricane” fundraiser, held March 23. Each year the Decatur Red Cross Club teams up with West OC Fitness, collecting sponsors and donating their time to “spin” for an afternoon, in order to build up the Lower Shore Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund. This year, the club raised $430. The relief fund is used every year to aid flood and storm victims during the hurricane season. It’s not a matter of “if” there will be victims, it’s a matter of “how many” families will require disaster aid along vulnerable waterfront communities on the Eastern Shore. Rains, wind and storm surges can cause dangerous flooding, damage property and eliminate any source of fresh water for days. During Super Storm Sandy in the Delmarva region, the Red Cross supported 25 shelters, providing a safe haven for nearly 1,900 people, served more than 10,000 meals and snacks, distributed 500 clean-up kits (bucket, mop, broom, cleaning solutions, gloves and plastic bags), mobilized 132 local volunteers, some of whom deployed more than once during the Sandy response and delivered

Commentary Two events welcome us to spring OUR OPINION

There’s something wonderful about May 1 this time of year for Ocean City and environs. For 24 years next Thursday, Springfest returns to the resort with four days of food, live entertainment, crafts and other vendors under the inlet’s big top tents. Our staff writer Clara Vaughn reports on the now harbinger of the summer in this week’s Ocean City Today. There’s another marvelous part of May 1 as well around here. As writer Nancy Powell reports, The Shepherd’s Crook will open its doors at a new location. Many of us even with short memories still feel the pain from last November 26 when a disturbed former client of Shepherd’s Crook set himself on fire, entered the former building at St. Paul’s by the Sea, and in doing so killed the beloved Pastor David Dingwall and critically injured a volunteer. Shepherd’s Crook, with the spring as its background, will now serve the hungry and needy from 203 S. Baltimore Avenue. It’s a bigger facility to help serve more people, and it will also be adding communications and computer services so people can look for a job perhaps, or connect on a telephone with a loved one. With Springfest kicking off the summer season and providing four days of fun at the beach for thousands, we’re equally as glad that Shepherd’s Crook will have its new location. Because, though we appreciate the visitors who fuel our economy in many ways, we also know that for those let behind when the weather gets colder, and businesses close, there’s Shepherd’s Crook will still be open, offering food, clothing and just a warm place to get out of the cold. Now, though, it opens in spring. We’re looking forward to both.

Fishing around for good choice THE PUBLIC EYE

Beach Bots to take on world EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

I had the wonderful experience of meeting with team members of the Worcester Beach Bots Robotics team, which by now should be in St. Louis, Mo. for the staging of the April 23-26 FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. The team’s robot arrived crated ahead of the team. When the team arrives at the Edward Jones Stadium, the same place where the St. Louis Rams NFL team plays, coach Michele Kosin and her team members will take a look at their robot, making sure its ready to roll. Coach Kosin said with emotion in her voice “I’ve seen them, and I’ve grown up with them.” The Beach Bots will be competing against similar squads from the area, the nation and the world. Teams attend from countries as far away as the Netherlands and Israel, said Chris Brown, one of the steady, confident seniors on this squad. One of those teams is first year Titanium-Wrecks, also from this area. Just to read where the some of the Beach Bot seniors are committed to for college has got to make Worcester County proud. We know that their coach is beaming. But Danny Beck, the team’s lead programmer, is heading to the University of Maryland, College Park; Gary Qian is still making up his mind, but he’s been accepted to universities including Maryland, Johns Hopkins, NYU and the University of Virginia. Jake Eisenmann has been accepted to Maryland, University of Michigan, Northeastern and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Kris Rorke is looking at Shippensburg. These are the mechanical engineer and computer geniuses of this team. But the team isn’t just about the engineers. Indeed, perhaps the unsung hero of the team is Jacob Znamirowski, a Stephen De-

By Phil Jacobs

catur High School senior, who one day wants to attend the police academy and become an officer. Jacob’s job is to take the pressure off of the robotics competitors. At 18, he’s learned how to fund raise for the team. He helps book their transportation, hotel rooms and feed them. He does whatever he can to make the team a winner. “I’m the messenger,” he said modestly, “so the team members aren’t waiting for anything.” He’s considered the manager of the team, and he said that working with Coach Kosin and his teammates “has made me a better person. “I’m not on the engineering side,” he said. “I take care of the business of our team. It’s really helped me with people skills, team work and everything we need to do to compete.” The Beach Bots qualified for the worlds after winning at the North Carolina Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. That win and this trip to the World’s is so far the apex of the team that started three years ago with about 13 students and now numbers 60. “None of us knew what we were doing when we first started,” said Brown. “We just kind of did it. We experienced a lot of firsts.” Their coach perhaps put it best when she said, “they all seem to say at once ‘I’ve got an idea,’ and then they are at the white board for three minutes explaining it.” On this day, though, at the Worcester Technical High School, they had something else wonderful “figured out.” The feeling in the classroom used during our interview was energetic. This team is together. They were completing each other’s sentences, and they know what they’re going to have to do when they compete in St. Louis. Coach Kosin also knows without saying. She brought them this far. It’s time to shine.

Fifty years ago this month, the promoters of the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair at Flushing Meadows By said the exposition Stewart would offer Dobson us a glimpse into the future and they were right. I say that because I didn’t go. When my high school class headed north the following spring to be exposed to the wondrous world beyond the green, green soybean fields of home, my friend Steve Reddish and I got two six-packs and went fishing instead. It was about midday, I think, as we drifted over glassy waters in an aluminum johnboat, when I heard a rumbling voice from above call my name and say, “And this, my boy, is your future.” “Oh?” I replied. “Let me count the ways,” the voice answered. “First, there is the underage purchase of alcoholic beverages. Not good.” “But,” I protested, “all my friends who are 18 years old are probably in the World’s Fair beer pavilion at this very moment.” “True,” said the voice, “but they’re in New York, where that is the legal drinking age, for now, anyway. You, on the other hand, are not following the rules.” “Point taken. I have problems with rules.” “And secondly, here is this wonderful opportunity to educate yourself, to witness the technical revolution as it unfolds, to immerse yourself in an invigorating mix of cultures and to see buildings that, believe it or not, are actually taller than two stories. And instead you go fishing?” See GIVING Page 94

Letters Moved by drug addiction special report

Editor, I want to commend your staff for publishing the heart-wrenching article about the toll that drug addiction takes on users and their families. It would be great to learn about ways in which the community can help. If you have not already planned to, please keep this issue on the ‘front burner.’ I am amazed and moved by the courage of Wes Bresnahan and his parents to share their stories and pray that they all will find light at the end of this overwhelming challenge. Edward M. Reid Berlin

Property tax increase?

Editor, I want to alert you to a posting in the Ocean City Today dated April 18, 2014 found on page 14. It states that the Town of Ocean City gives notice of a proposed real property tax increase. A public hearing on the proposal will be held at 6 p.m. on May 5 at City Hall, 301 Baltimore Ave., Ocean City. City Council wants our testimony. Here is your opportunity to bring your pros and cons to where they can

to the editor

do some good, in addition to sharing them across the backyard fence. Why does the city need more taxes this year than last year? Are they over-spending? Are funds being used for wants rather than needs? Do we have more city employees than are needed? Do we buy more equipment than is needed? Times are rough, could wage increases for city employees be lessened? John and Ann McDermott Ocean City

Index responsibility?

April 25, 2014

Ocean City Today

Editor, Who is responsible for updating the index books that contain liens and other important information concerning citizens of Worcester County? I am one of the heirs of some property that is in the process of being sold in Berlin. After receiving some information from the lawyer representing the buyer that we couldn’t sell the property until several issues had to be cleared up, there was one issue that really got me looking into this as one of the sellers. The issues were three liens. Two of them were for my brother, and third for a cousin. First the liens had no addresses just a case number, the person’s name and information about back taxes for the

years 1980, 1986 and 1988. The first step was to get an address for the liens. I went to the circuit court in Snow Hill where the books are kept. They only had a case number and a name, even in the index book for back taxes. You couldn’t find these cases on the computer due to the years that they were for. I had to spend $35 each for two of the years after calling the state archives in Annapolis. They were able to find one of the years for back taxes with an address on it. Another case number could not be found connected to this person that I am referring to at all. This particular case number was for someone else. A cousin of mine with a case number had sold his house about a year ago and this lien did not come up at all. He was able to sell the house. Being one of the heirs, I was told his lien could stop us from selling this heir property. I didn’t stop there. I got in contact with the compliance collection office and by exchanging information that was needed to crack the ice I found out that all three liens were and had been paid and released since March 28, 1988 and November 10, 1987. This is not fair to me and any citizens of Worcester County that the circuit court records and the compliance collection office in Annapolis haven’t found a procedure to update the

Page 94 index books (liens) before putting information on the computer. Information like this can be very damaging to any citizen, especially in a case such as the one that I explain. Pat Hingleton Berlin

Giving up World’s Fair for fishing THE PUBLIC EYE

Continued from Page 93 “Well, I, uh, ummmmmm …” “More importantly, if you will take a moment to observe the world around you, assess its harmonies, its balances and the yin and yang of even this small representative slice of earth, as you waste what some would call a chance of a lifetime, you will learn something valuable.” “Really?” “Yes, here is your lesson: Steve is catching all the fish and you aren’t catching diddly. This, my boy, is your destiny.” “Wow! And the rule thing?” “Nah, I was just messing with you.”
