ALLEGANYCO.TEENKILLEDCROSSINGOCSTREET Police say local driver, 17, not to blame in resort’s second pedestrian fatality of ’12 NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) A 15-yearold girl became Ocean City’s second pedestrian fatality of the year earlier this week.

Samantha Sweitzer, who was visiting the resort with some of her friends, was crossing Coastal Highway at 21st Street with two of her friends at about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday to catch a southbound bus.

They walked from east to west against the “no walk” signal to the median. Then they began to run across the south-

bound lanes just north of the marked crosswalk, but still crossing against the signal.

One of the three, the 15year-old girl from La Vale in Allegany County, was struck by a vehicle in southbound lane three.

She was treated at the scene

by Ocean City paramedics and taken to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin. Later, she was transferred to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, where she died of her injuries.

According to the Cumberland Times-News, Sweitzer had

just completed her sophomore year at All e g a n y High School, where an impromptu meSamantha morial service was held for Sweitzer herWednesday.

The driver of the vehicle was identified as a 17-year-old boy from Worcester County.

The girl’s body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.

“It was 100 percent preventable on the part of the pedestrian,” said Pfc. Mike Levy of the Public Affairs Office of See LEVY on Page 29

Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders hand out gifts to fans lining Baltimore Avenue from 19th Street, otherwise known as Johnny Unitas Way, to 26th Street, during the June 2, Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts annual parade. This year marked the council’s 48th celebration in Ocean City, where it annually holds a convention and parade. Formerly known as the Council of Colts Corrals, the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts has gathered in the resort area since 1968 — the group even continued the festivities when Baltimore didn’t have a football team. The council was renamed when the Ravens came to Baltimore. More photos on Page 56.

(June 8, 2012) The petition drive to bring collective bargaining for city government employees has made its way into resort neighborhoods, although not everyone is pleased with some of the canvassers themselves.

The problem, some residents have reported, is that the signature solicitors who appeared at their doorsteps aren’t city employees and have little information on the issue or the impetus for the effort in general.

Last month, a storefront was established in the Food Lion shopping center on 118th Street for an organization calling itself the Ocean City Employee Coalition. Organizers there said that the Maryland Classified Employees Association, which has helped organize collective bargaining for public employees around the state, would be sponsoring the unionization efforts of Ocean City’s municipal employees, an idea that has been See UNION on Page 34

OC Development Corporation opens new employee housing Resort properties provide stable homes for visiting summertime employees ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) Despite his continuing role as the city’s downtown revitalization guru, Ocean City Development Corporation Executive Director Glenn Irwin is seeing a near-doubling in a part of his job description that he never quite expected: apartment superintendent.

Scattered throughout OCDC’s office at 108 Dorchester Street are light bulbs, screwdrivers, smoke detectors, and a host of other accoutrements familiar to any local property owner who has scrambled to get their rentals ready for the summer season.

“The hardest part is getting them up and running at first,” Irwin said. “Finding furniture, doing all the little repairs.

I’ve been to a lot of garage sales in Ocean Pines recently.”

OCDC – while a privately-run nonprofit organization – was organized by the Mayor and City Council in 2000 with the intent that it would cooperate with city officials in redeveloping Ocean City’s downtown district. To this end, it has subsidized more than 120 façade renovation projects, 10 public art pro-

grams, several pedestrian walkways and plazas, and assists any landowner looking to develop south of 17th Street with the planning and zoning phase of their work.

For the past six years, OCDC has also been responsible for several pieces of residential property, bought by the town, which it rents exclusively to seasonal city employees from the beach pa-

trol, Ocean City Police Department, and park and recreation department. The first such property was the upper floors of OCDC’s office building – the historic Tarry-a-While guest house - which still houses 13 employees in a dormitorystyle setup. A house at 110 Somerset Street for 10 more employees was next acquired, and just this past April the city closed a deal on two buildings at

105 Dorchester Street, which will have 20-25 residents.

The major benefit, Irwin said, is that the properties provide stable homes for a significant number of the city’s crucial summer employees, who would otherwise have to scramble to find housing, often in the crowded conditions that have become the norm for summer workers.

“We try to keep it at two people per room, one set of bunk beds,” Irwin said, “I know a lot of places have half a dozen people in one room, but we don’t’ want to have to do that.”

The response has been strong. All of the Somerset Street residents are returning seasonal employees with at least two years of city service under their belts, while most of the rookies are housed at Tarry-a-While.

Downtown living comes with its ups and downs – Irwin said he encourages residents to bring bicycles instead of cars, or to have only a few people in the building with cars that others can hitch a ride in.

“A lot of them already know parking is a big issue down here,” he said.

But the upside is that the city gets a guaranteed base of people who will be living and working exclusively downtown. “Its good because it gives a residential base to downtown,” said Irwin.

“They’re walking around down here, spending money, helping to make it vibrant.”

K9 mourned

Handgun charge

The Ocean City Police Department mourns the loss of K9 Indy, who passed away May 17.

Indy, who retired from the department in September 2009, came to the OCPD from Holland and became the dedicated and faithful partner of Sgt. Ronnie Townsend.

Indy joined the department in 2004 and worked in the Patrol/Narcotics Division. Indy assisted in the discovery of dozens of illegal narcotics and the apprehension of many suspects.

One of Indy’s biggest professional accomplishments came when he found a kilo of cocaine in a vehicle. He was also responsible for an estimated $15,000 in currently seizures.

In addition to going on patrol with Townsend, he joined Townsend in many demonstrations and was involved in the town’s Bonfire’s on the Beach, National Night Out, the Citizens Police Academy, the Mayor’s Open House and the July Fourth Jamboree.

A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy located a Glock pistol concealed in the pants of a motorcyclist, Michael Goodwin of Virginia.

The deputy had stopped the motorcycle at Inlet Isle and Route 50 in West Ocean City on May 26. The District Court commissioner released Goodwin on his own recognizance.

Fugitive warrant A Worcester County deputy arrested Terry Wayne Burkhead, 51, of New Church, Va., on May 29, on a District Court warrant for theft of less than $1,000 and a fugitive warrant through Virginia for theft of more than $200.

Number of people charged with weapons violations recently Ocean City police have made 13 arrests for crimes between Jan. 1 and May 31 NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (june 8, 2012) Ocean City has seen a number of people charged recently with weapons violations.

From Jan. 1 through May 31, 2011, Ocean City police made 11 arrests for weapons of all kinds. From Jan. 1 through May 31, 2012, they made 13 arrests for weapons of all kinds. Since then, there have been a few more of such arrests.

On June 2 at about 9 a.m., Darrel James Mills, 20, of Capitol Heights was charged with having a concealed deadly weapon after Police Chief Bernadette DiPino stopped his tan Cadillac at 94th Street because he did not stop at a red light at 120th Street and because neither he nor his passenger were wearing seatbelts.

Officer Richard Gutowski searched the Cadillac because he and DiPino smelled the odor of marijuana coming from it. The search fund a switchblade knife in the center console. Mills said the knife was his.

Later that day, at about 7:30 p.m., Pfc. Aaron Morgan stopped a Dodge pickup truck at 52nd Street because Chad Louis Weller, 19, of Stevensville, was driving it in a manner to cause excessive noise and additional traffic violations.

Because Morgan detected the odor of alcohol on Weller, he conducted field sobriety tests, which Weller failed to complete as instructed. He then charged him with driving under the influence of alcohol and Pfc. Michael Kelly saw a .22 caliber rifle on the rear floor board of the truck. When Kelly went to pick up the rifle, he discovered a 12 gauge shotgun, a baseball bat, a machete and a silver and black pellet gun, which resembled a real gun, in a holster. The guns were unloaded but all of the weapons were within Weller’s reaching distance.

Morgan was changed with nine traffic citations, having a dangerous, concealed weapon and having a replica handgun in city limits.

The next day, Sunday, Pfc. Shawn Lindsey went to a midtown hotel because of a reported weapons violation.

A Maryland State Police trooper providing security for the hotel had seen Christopher R. Weaver, 29, of Stafford, Va., with a fixed-blade dagger-type knife in a sheath strapped to his ankle.

When Lindsey confronted Weaver, who had gone to his sport utility vehicle in the hotel’s parking lot, he saw that the knife was a fighting knife with a blade length of approximately 4.5 inches. He also saw an empty handgun holster on the back seat behind the driver. Weaver said a Glock handgun was in a lock box beneath the seat.

Pfc. Kelly and his K9 conducted a

scan of the vehicle and the K9 alerted.

During the search, Weaver kept shouting, “You can’t look at my pictures.

That is classified information.” When police asked him who he worked for, he would not say, but he did say the name ends in “agency.”

Under the rear passenger seat, Lindsey located the locked box and opened it with a key on Weaver’s key ring. Inside was a 9mm Glock 26 handgun loaded with 11 hollowpoint 9mm rounds, including one in the chamber.

After arresting Weaver in connection with the weapons, Lindsey located a Virginia permit for carrying a weapon and a private investigator’s license. Weaver said he thought Maryland and Virginia had reciprocity with each other regarding the handgun.

Lindsey told him they do not. He also told him that it is not legal to carry the knife on his person in Maryland and the knife is also a prohibited weapon under the town’s code.

When Weaver went before the District Court commissioner, the commissioner said the charge of having a handgun in the vehicle lacked probable cause.

Police also found a handgun in a vehicle in late May. A 22-year-old Fruitland man was charged May 27 with having a concealed deadly weapon after an Ocean CIty police detective located a handgun in the car near where he had been sitting.

Minutes earlier, the detective had seen Anthony L. Dashiell Jr. walk to the rear of a Cadillac parked at 12th Street, open the trunk, remove an automatic handgun and place it into the front of his waistband. He then pulled his shirt over the gun to conceal it.

The undercover detective notified police communications about what he had seen and within seconds, several uniformed police officers were in the area. Dashiell had taken a seat behind the driver’s seat.

Officers detained everyone on site because a group of men had been with Dashiell. After Dashiell was handcuffed, another detective checked his waistband for the gun, but it was not there.

The first detective then opened the door to the area where Dashiell had been seated and located the .40 caliber Smith and Wesson semi-automatic handgun beneath the front passenger’s side seat.

Dashiell did not have a concealed weapon permit and the detective arrested him. The detective then located one fully loaded handgun magazine and two empty ones. He also found a device for smoking marijuana.

Dashiell told the detective that he retrieved the gun from the car’s trunk because he and his friends were headed to Salisbury and that when they left there earlier, some people were giving them dirty looks. He also said he had been robbed in the past and he was not going to allow that to happen again.

Employee must repay money stolen from Deer Run Golf Club NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) A 28-year-old woman must repay money she stole from Deer Run Golf Club, her former employer.

“Please accept my sincere apology,” Amanda Carol Lubiniecki told Deer Run owner Ed Colbert in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Tuesday. “It was an inexcusable lapse in judgment.”

Colbert found the crime difficult to comprehend. Lubiniecki “was like a daughter to us,” he told the court. “I can’t believe she stole from us.”

Lubiniecki, a Salisbury resident, had worked as a bookkeeper for Scott and Associates in Berlin before being hired at

Deer Run. Its president, Bill Scott, was convicted last year on multiple counts of theft after stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from condominium associations in Ocean City. His company was dissolved and he went to prison where he is serving a 10-year term of incareceration.

While working for Scott, Lubiniecki handled the bookkeeping for Deer Run and so Colbert hired her to continue handling those duties after Scott landed in hot water.

Lubiniecki had pleaded guilty May 1 to having a theft scheme to steal from $10,000 to less than $100,000 from Deer Run. Before the sentencing began Tuesday, Assistant State’s Attorney Steve Rakow handed Colbert a check for $13,000 from Lubiniecki and said she would have to pay

the balance of $32,182.56.

The investigation into the theft began on Oct. 13, 2011 when Maryland State Police took a report of theft from the golf course, after it was learned that several checks from the operational budget were made out to Lubiniecki. The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation subpoenaed approximately 3,000 documents from bank records, which revealed 74 checks from the golf course were paid to Lubiniecki.

During questioning by investigators, Lubiniecki confessed to the theft.

She stole from July 2009 to December 2010 and again from May 2011 to October 2011.

In court Tuesday, she said she lived on her own and started having financial dif-

Tormenting police animals not uncommon in Ocean City NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) A 20-year-old Wilmington, Del., man will face trial later this month for allegedly throwing a beer can at an Ocean City mounted patrol officer and his horse.

Pfc. Joseph Zurla was on uniformed mounted patrol with his horse, “Tucker,” in the area of the Admiral Hotel at Ninth Street on May 19 when he heard a loud “bang” from behind him. The noise came from a

can that exploded at the horse’s hooves.

Tucker was startled by the sound and he jumped into on-coming traffic. According to the charging document, Tucker was almost hit by an on-coming vehicle, which could have caused serious injuries to both horse and rider.

Zurla walked his horse back around the sidewalk area of the hotel, where approximately five people told him that the loud bang was caused by someone intentionally throwing a full can of Keystone Light beer at him and his horse. At the very least, they

said, the thrower’s goal was to scare the horse.

They pointed to a man on a second floor balcony of the hotel, identified by Zurla as David Michael Cernos. With the assistance of another policeman, Zurla got Cernos out of his room, handcuffed him and took him to police headquarters.

Cernos was charged with attempted second-degree assault on a law enforcement officer, tormenting an animal of the Ocean City Police Department, throwing See BEER on Page 8

ficulties. Pride stopped her from asking for help and she added that it was not too difficult to steal.

“Every time, it got easier and easier,” Lubiniecki said.

When Judge Thomas C. Groton III asked her how she could justify stealing from people with whom she had a close relationship, she said she had no answer for that. But she also said, “The work I did for them, I justified it with that.”

James Anthenelli, her defense attorney, said her thefts started out with taking $500 and then another $500 and then another $500. He asked for leniency because Lubiniecki now works for an insurance company in Cambridge where her employers are aware of her theft and want her to continue working there. A conviction could trigger violations of her insurance license, he told Judge Groton.

The judge then sentenced Lubiniecki to 12 months in jail, with all but 30 days suspended “because I’m most concerned about restitution being paid,” he said.

Groton also authorized work release so she may work to pay Deer Run $500 per month until she has completed restitution of the money she stole. He also fined her $1,000, but suspended the fine so she would have money to make restitution of $32,182.50. He did not suspend the court costs of $170. After her release from jail, she will be on supervised probation for five years.

Her jail sentence starts at 7 p.m. June 8.

OCPD to upgrade crash reconstruction technology OP police report ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) The Ocean City Police Department got approval at Monday night’s City Council meeting to purchase a top-of-the-line GPS mapping device for investigating automobile crashes – ironically, almost exactly 24 hours before a 15-year-old girl was struck and killed while crossing Coastal Highway at 21st Street.

Lt. Scott Harner of the OCPD presented council with information and pricing on the TOPCON GRS-1, a handheld device that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite data to accurately map a series of geographically precise points and create a detailed model of any given scenario.

“Using GPS technology, a collision reconstructionist can capture the necessary data points and generate a graphical representation of a crash scene that is accurate to less than two centimeters,” Harner read in his presentation to council.

Harner said the OCPD frequently relies on accident mapping in court. “Given the litigious society that we live in, these

“Using GPS technology, a collision reconstructionist can capture the necessary data points and generate a graphical representation of a crash scene that is accurate to less than two centimeters.”

LT. SCOTT HARNER OF THE OCPD On the new TOPCON location system

often end up in multiple hearings,” he said.

Ocean City has seen two traffic deaths in as many weeks. On May 28, a drunk driver struck a pedestrian and briefly fled the scene before being apprehended. In that instance, as well as Tuesday’s, neither pedestrian was reported to have properly been using a crosswalk.

Harner noted that the department’s current equipment is more than 14 years old, and requires two users to track points relative to one another. The GPS system will require only one user, providing a longterm savings for the city in manpower.

The TOPCON system has already been in use for some time with the city’s Engineering and Public Works departments. City Engineer Terry McGean said that much of the same benefits the OCPD is seeking from TOPCON are those that his department has gotten from GPS mapping.

“We use it for surveying, mapping, construction, layout, a lot of the work we do,” McGean said. “What it allows you to do is – with one person – establish a known point both horizontally and vertically.”

McGean said that the ability to track vertical location is extremely important for water and sewer design, especially in Ocean City where elevation is low and gradients are limited. “One of the biggest things it helped with was doing all the sanitary systems, it gives you the vertical which is critical because we’re so flat,” he said.

“Basically, the system allows you to find and name an exact spot, down to an inch or so, whether it’s the top of a curb we’re building or the beginning of a skid mark [at a crash scene],” McGean said.

Woman nearly drowns in morning ocean incident Found in cardiac arrest and placed on respirator; now in critical condition NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) Members of the Ocean City Fire Department rushed to help a young woman Saturday who had gone into distress in the ocean at 141st Street.

The woman, in her 20s, and two friends went to the beach to watch the sunrise at about 6 a.m. She entered the ocean even though she was not a swimmer and the Ocean City Beach Patrol

has not yet gone on duty.

She encountered difficulty in the ocean, but because her friends were not swimmers either, they could not rescue her.

Capt. Butch Arbin of the Ocean City Beach Patrol said her friends watched her drown and waited for her body to come in close enough to shore so they could drag her in and do CPR. An unknown person heard their cries for help and called for emergency services.

Paramedics and rescue swimmers of the Ocean City Fire Department went to the beach, where they found the woman in cardiac arrest and her friends performing CPR, said Ryan Whittington, the public information officer of the fire

department. They took over the work of CPR and transported the woman to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin where she was admitted in critical condition and put on a respirator.

Arbin and Whittington had no update on her condition.

The Ocean City Fire Department has more than 25 certified rescue swimmers who train annually with the Ocean City Beach Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard. They are available daily to assist people in distress in the water.

Whittington, members of the fire department and the Ocean City Beach Patrol urge people to use caution and to remain out of the ocean until the lifeguards are on duty.

3 rabid raccoons (June 8, 2012) The Ocean Pines Police Department reported this week that three rabid raccoons have been found within the community. To protect family and pets, the OPPD offers the following tips: ■ Make sure all pets have current rabies vaccinations.

■ Avoid feeding pets outdoors. This will draw wild and stray animals to the property. If pets must be fed outdoors, do not leave food outdoors overnight or allow spillage onto the ground or deck.

■ Do not let pets roam free, or leave cats outdoors overnight. This increases the possibility of contact with sick wildlife.

■ Cover garbage cans securely.

Anyone who witnesses an animal that seems ill, or a wild animal that is behaving in a threatening manner, is urged to take pets and children indoors immediately and then report the situation to the OPPD by calling 410-641-7747.

If a pet has been in contact with a wild animal, whether it was a fight or simply face-to-face contact, owners are urged not touch their pet with bare hands, but rather to use gloves or other barrier, such as plastic grocery bags.

Isolate the pet from other pets/people and immediately contact the OPPD so the suspect animal can be obtained and made available for rabies testing.

Consult a veterinarian if a family pet is injured. The Worcester County Health Department will determine the appropriate management for the domesticated animal pet.

For rabies information, call 410-3523234 or visit www.worcesterhealth.org.

an object from an occupied building and disorderly conduct.

Cernos denied throwing the can at the horse or the policeman and said he had dropped it, but such incidents have become almost routine in Ocean City in June.

“They’re not uncommon at all,” said Pfc. Mike Levy of the Public Affairs Office. “They’re being done by people who have zero respect for law enforcement.”

Because of the frequency of such attacks, the police department spends a considerable amount of time desensitizing the horses of the Mounted Patrol and the dogs of the K-9 Unit to sudden noises and being touched, sometimes strongly, by strangers.

“We teach about types of actions and we also teach the [horses’] riders how to manage these types of incidents,” said Levy, who spent approximately 23 years as a member of the Mounted Patrol.

The Ocean City Police Department has four horses and will be getting a fifth for the Mounted Patrol.

Cernos’ trial is scheduled for June 27 in District Court in Ocean City. Levy anticipates more of such cases.

Kacynski admits to using drugs prior to Dec. crash that critically injured toddler NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) André James Kaczynski, the man accused of driving while on the drug Phencyclidine (PCP) when he struck a car stopped at a red light on Coastal Highway at 142nd Street and critically injured a toddler, was in Circuit Court on Tuesday in an effort to have some information barred from the upcoming trial.

Kaczynski, 48, of Ocean André James Pines, and his public defender, Arch McFadden, Kaczynski wanted to have some evidence, including a videotape of him made after the Dec. 16 crash, suppressed.

The toddler, Ava Marie DelRicco, was in the courtroom for part of the proceedings, which continued for several hours. At other times, she was pushed in her stroller down halls outside the courtroom.

Ava’s family and family friends watched as Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby called several Ocean City police officers to the stand to testify about what they saw at the accident scene and what Kaczynski said to them.

Pfc. Michael Karsnitz testified that he saw a silver Lexus with extensive rear end damage and Kaczynski’s truck with its engine compartment still on fire. He went to the Lexus to try to get to the toddler in the back seat. When he opened the driver’s door, he saw the toddler’s mother, Ann

On Dec. 16, 2011, Andre Kaczynski of Ocean Pines, admittedly under the influence of drugs, struck the vehicle of a Selbyville woman and her daughter, Ava Marie DelRicco, at right, at a speed of than 60 miles per hour.

Marie DelRicco, unconscious. She regained consciousness and said her arm hurt.

While EMS used the Jaws of Life on the DelRicco vehicle, Karsnitz walked to the truck that had been on fire. Sgt. Jeff Smith had already talked to the driver and thought he was acting weird, Karsnitz testified.

Kaczynski told Karsnitz that he was not injured, but he did have minor cuts on his face.

“He appeared confused,” Karsnitz said.

“I asked him where he was coming from and he said, “Jessup.’ “

Karsnitz testified that Kaczynski even asked if he had been driving the truck. The policeman also said he smelled a “unique odor” on Kaczynski. The odor, he said, was similar to cleaning solvents.

After talking to Kaczynski, Karsnitz talked to a man who had been working at 120th Street when he saw a truck going past him at a speed of at least 100 miles per hour. The witness followed the truck because he was expecting it to crash.

Karsnitz also testified that he saw the mother and toddler removed from the car.

The toddler, he said, was unconscious and bleeding from her mouth and ears. She

was limp in her car seat and a paramedic said her injuries were life-threatening.

Later in the courtroom, State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby played a video of Kaczynski talking to police at the Public Safety Building after the crash. In it, Kaczynski said he had smoked PCP and did not remember the crash.

After much more testimony from other police officers, Judge Thomas C. Groton III denied motions to suppress evidence.

He ruled Kaczynski’s statements and evidence gained from searches of his car and residence could be used at trial.

Kaczynski’s trial, which had been scheduled for June 13-14, has been rescheduled for Aug. 1-2. He faces trial on charges of causing life-threatening injuries to Ava and her mother by use of a motor vehicle, driving while impaired by PCP and other charges.

Worcester passes $165.9M budget, blames state for tax increase Statewide cuts and decline in property tax revenues cause county to raise taxes NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) Putting blame on the poor economy and the state for saddling counties with additional costs, the Worcester County Commissioners passed the county’s $165.9 million general fund budget and raised the tax rate 7 cents Tuesday.

“The county can no longer continue to

absorb steep losses,” said Gerry Mason, the county’s chief administrative officer.

“The combination of state cuts and the decline of $23.1 million in property tax revenues left the county with no choice but to raise taxes for the first time in eight years.”

Voting against the budget were Commissioners Virgil Shockley and Madison Bunting.

Shockley, who represents a large agricultural swath of the county, plus the Snow Hill area, was disappointed that funds for the renovation and addition of Snow Hill High School were not included.

Bunting was against the tax increase at a time many people are struggling to pay

basic bills. He opposed the 2 percent raise for all county employees for the same reason. Although county employees have not had a raise in three years, many county residents have not have raises either.

“I don’t think it’s the proper time [to give raises,]” Bunting said.

Bunting was also disappointed that the county did not have more budget work sessions.

“I think we could have cut more out of it,” he said.

Merrill Lockfaw, who had opposed a 2.5 pay raise for county employees, but changed his mind when it was lowered to 2 percent, said he would support the budget.

He also wanted a smaller tax increase.

No one wants to pay more at the gas pumps, for taxes or at the supermarket, but there’s a price that has to be paid, he said. Lockfaw said changes in the budget need to be made at the state level.

“We should make our voices heard to our state officials,” Lockfaw said.

County staff had held costs down as much as possible and future changes must come from state legislators who have passed on costs to counties, he said.

The state reduced the highway user revenues to the county from $4.41 million in fiscal year 2009 to $458,919 in fiscal year 2013. The state also reduced reimbursement to the county for expenses incurred by housing state prisoners at the jail in Snow Hill from $419,619 in fiscal year 2009 to $50,000 in fiscal year 2013.

Receipts from state parks, approxi-

mately $304,000 annually, were eliminated in fiscal year 2010 and teacher pensions of $1.27 million were transferred to the county for fiscal year 2013.

The state also transferred operating costs of the local state Department of Assessment and Taxation to the county.

Those costs, which were $978,315 in fiscal year 2012, jumped to $1.07 million for fiscal year 2013. Also, the state will begin charging the county an annual state retirement administrative fee of $88,530 for all county and Board of Education employees.

“The state shot us in the foot,” Commission President Bud Church said.

It is time, Church said, for people to contact state legislators and the governor to tell them to watch their spending.

“Worcester County’s been very, very fortunate over the years to have the revenues we had,” he said.

Many of those revenues have dried up and the county can no longer take money out of its reserves for its expenses, he said.

It is not good practice to spend down the reserves and the county staff already expects to have a $7 million or $8 million shortfall next year because the economy is not getting better, he said.

“The county commissioners are being very prudent by not spending reserves,” Church said.

Even with raising the tax rate from 70 cents per $100 of property valuation to 77 cents per $100 of property valuation, Worcester, which has the second lowest tax rate in the state, will still be second or possibly third, he said.

“That’s something to be proud of,” Church said.

Even with the higher tax rate, the property tax revenue will be $1.7 million less than the current year because of decreasing assessments. Residential, owneroccupied, property will have an increase of $70 annually for every $100,000 of assessed property value.

(June 8, 2012) Ocean City’s sludge is going to the county landfill, at least temporarily.

The town’s new hauler, Covanta, is contractually obligated to start work June 18. It is possible the company could begin sooner if East Coast Resources, the current hauler under contract, cannot fulfill its duties.

According to a May 24 letter from Mayor Rick Meehan to the county, Ocean City needed access to the landfill near Snow Hill on Sundays from June 17 to Sept. 30 for disposal of its biosolids from its wastewater treatment plant. He asked the county to permit landfill access every Sunday from 7:30-11:30 a.m. so Ocean City could dispose of two loads, or 20 tons, of biosolids during that timeframe.

New Ocean City ordinance enforcement stokes scooter rivalries Planning & Zoning Comm. hard-pressed for constant management of regulations ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) Enforcement of the city’s new ordinance controlling the practices of the scooter rental industry seems to have become mired in conflict – not only between the city and businesses, but between rival downtown scooter shops who have seen the new policies only fan the flame of a long-standing conflict that has involved false police reports and accusations of sabotage.

In order to renew their business licenses on June 1, Ocean City’s scooter rental establishments have had to comply with new regulations established by the City Council in conjunction with the city’s Planning and Zoning department and a number of scooter shops themselves.

Although the new requirements have been relaxed somewhat through different iterations of the ordinance, the law in its current form still requires rental stores to provide adequate space for on-scooter training to customers, in addition to setting forth stringent restrictions of business operation, such as a ban on storing or displaying scooters on public property and a prohibition against doing business in parking lots without a proper storefront.

Further, much of the discretion as to what defines adequate accommodations has been left up to the city’s Planning and Zoning and Code Enforcement staff, adding a considerable enforcement burden to those departments.

Following Monday night’s City Council meeting, in which more business owners complained that the new policies were not being meted out fairly, Mayor Rick Meehan shared an email from Planning and Development Director Jesse Houston which outlined a sixtiered structure of violation enforcement, beginning with a verbal warning for the first offense and culminating with fines of $500 per day.

“If we get to the point where citations do not result in compliance, we will discuss the next steps with the City Solicitor.

This should be a high-priority, every-day effort,” Houston said in the memo.

However, the businesses themselves seemed to be anticipating such a scenario. “I don’t think the citations are going to be enough, we need to start considering pulling business licenses. A few hundred dollars is honestly a joke, it’s a couple of hours of scooter rental,” said Waterways Marina mechanic Sean Crosariol at Monday’s meeting.

Most of the businesses’ ire towards non-cooperation seemed to be directed at one establishment in particular – Island Cycles, owned by the family of Yehuda Peretz. Peretz appeared before City Council previously to seek a waiver to use part of Dorchester Street as a training area, since his Somerset Street location is strapped for space. His request was denied, and Peretz said he is now using the Sunsations parking lot on Wicomico Street for such a purpose. The owners of

New city regulations for the rental of scooters such as these have become a flashpoint for a seemingly long-standing rivalry between downtown business families. “It’s not our fight to fight, although it seems that there may be some lingering conflict,” said Mayor and Interim City Manager Rick Meehan.

Sunsations are part of his family, he said.

“They [Island Cycles] were supposed to close down, but because he [Peretz] was trying to appeal everything in City Council, he can do whatever he wants,” said Harel Kraiem, whose family owns Scooters by the Beach. “Say I have a scooter on the curb for five minutes while I’m taking care of a customer, I get a ticket from Planning and Zoning, he [Peretz] gets nothing.”

Kraiem also added he thought it was bizarre that the city had singled out scooters and prevented them from business practices that other industries can do freely, such as displaying goods outside or using city-allocated parking spaces for commercial vehicles.

“We’re looked down upon instead of appreciated for the business we bring in,” Kraiem said. “Sales are down everywhere, because people feel like they’ve lost their freedom.”

“Everybody will tell you the same thing, Island Cycles gets to do what he wants, and it’s because of Sunsations,” said the owner of Scooter City, who did not want his name to appear in print but is part of the Kraiem family. He also complained of arbitrary enforcement by Planning and Zoning, saying that city officials’ answer to his complaints about enforcement was to have him take pictures of

Peretz’s violations.

“Planning and Zoning is smart, they said ‘take a picture of him,’ and then they told him to take a picture of us,” he said.

Peretz was indeed able to share an extensive photo library showing alleged violations. “They told my competition they had to practice on Talbot Street, but they have no way to make sure they do it,” he said. “They [Planning and Zoning] are getting picky, not because of safety, but because they don’t know how to enforce this anymore.”

He also added that he had a “screaming” argument with Mayor and Interim City Manager Rick Meehan about enforcement inconsistencies.

“I would call it an emotional discussion,” said Meehan. “I understand he is a businessman, and he wants to make sure everyone is playing by the same rules.

You have this happen regardless of the business, but his first concern should be that he himself is abiding.”

Meehan said that several businesses had complained to him that the new regulations were not being enforced after five o’clock, when inspectors went home.

“It’s a lot of work to be done and we’re spread thin,” said Meehan, “but we did just hire another part-time code inspector. It was budgeted for previously, but hopefully we’ll be able to use him to en-

force after hours.”

However, the problem may go deeper than the city needing more enforcement manpower. Kraiem accused Peretz of sabotage, saying he has knocked over or moved scooters to public property to create violations.

“He’ll move them, then take a picture, and call the cops to say ‘look what they did,’” Kraiem claimed.

Peretz said his feud with the Kraiem family has gone back several years, at one point even resulting in an incident, he claims, where the Kraiems filed a false police report claiming Peretz had physically assaulted a family member on the Boardwalk.

Maryland judiciary records confirm that, in the summer of 2010, Peretz was the defendant in a peace order filed by Harel Kraiem, as well as the plaintiff in a peace order Peretz filed against Usher Kraiem. Both cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence.

The council has been generally steadfast on the enforcement issue, with members citing previous issues with taxi and Jetski regulations as parallels to the scooter industry.

“These are growing pains, just like the taxis. I promise you’ll be successful here eventually if you just follow the law,” said Council President Jim Hall.

Bdwk.spray paint battle loses pressure;agencies lack jurisdiction ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) The city’s effort to control the use of spray paint by Boardwalk artists seems to have hit a wall, as state and county regulatory agencies say they have no jurisdiction on the matter.

City Council members have recently voiced concern that police are being told to back down from investigating claims

by Boardwalk eateries that fumes from spray paint artists on the boards are wafting into their businesses, following a September ruling in U.S. District Court in favor of Boardwalk artist Mark Chase.

Last June, after the City Council passed an emergency ordinance requiring Boardwalk performers to register daily at City Hall, Chase filed a federal suit claiming that his First Amendment rights had been violated.

“I appreciate freedom of expression, that’s all well and good, but when you’re agitating people who are just sitting there trying to eat, it’s a bit much,” said Council President Jim Hall at the time.

Councilman Doug Cymek said previously that he had been following up with both the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Worcester County Health Department to see if there were environmental or food safety regulations

that could control the proliferation of paint over-spray on the Boardwalk. Despite high hopes, Cymek said this week that the issue looks to have hit an impasse.

“It appears that they just don’t have any regulations that are applicable here,” he said.

Both the MDE and the county Health Department said their jurisdiction only extends to permit requirements, something that applies only to business and commercial use and has no power over small-scale individual users.

“There is no application for a permit in this case, so there aren’t rules to enforce,” said Samantha Kappalman of the MDE. “They [the artists] would need to be using roughly 1,000 cans or more of spray paint a year into order to need any sort of environmental permit.”

“And its going into free air, it’s not like

Online building permits expected by year’s end night to spend a total of $31,580 on the GOVnow software module, provided through the city’s software management firm SunGard H.T.E., which already provides a computerized database for permit and license processing. The new program will integrate the existing database with an online application and payment program that will allow some applicants to complete the entire process remotely.

ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) A system that will allow online application for — and online granting of — building permits and business licenses in Ocean City is expected to go live by the end of the year.

“Terry’s up here now presenting something that the council has been talking about for quite some time. It was just a matter of finding the right software,” said Mayor Rick Meehan during the meeting.

there’s a facility where we could place a meter or do any kind of monitoring,” she added.

“If somebody is outside of a facility, using any kind of material and following the directions on the container, we have no jurisdiction,” said Ed Potetz of the Worcester County Health Department.

Potetz explained that the county’s food service regulations place the onus on the responsible party, meaning the owner or operator of restaurant.

“There’s nothing that regulates movement [of a substance] from the exterior to the interior,” he said. “Same if somebody’s smoking outside a building, if it migrates inside, we can’t tell anybody to move away. There’s nothing to stop the guy from doing it except being courteous.”

The difficulty of regulating personal courtesy was a sticking point for Mayor Rick Meehan as well. “I think the federal judge said, and I agree, that what he [Chase] is doing is wrong, but that the First Amendment trumps any power we may have to regulate what really amounts to him just needing to be considerate,” Meehan said.

“It’s funny how some people interpret it [the ruling] as a license to do things that are adverse to others,” he added.

“It just bothers me that this opens up a whole new group of things that we can’t address,” said Cymek. “Someone could sell kites, without a business license, in front the Kite Loft, and as long as they were considered to be expressive art, it would be OK?” he asked rhetorically.

Union drive: employees, officials should speak up Maybe Ocean City government workers will get enough signatures to force a referendum this fall on their desire to unionize and maybe they won’t. But their success or failure will have less to do with the means they employ to gather the required number of names than it will the public’s mood.

The economic situation these days is far removed from what it was back in 2002, when the Fraternal Order of Police succeeded in gaining collective bargaining rights via referendum.

Back then, Ocean City was at the beginning of a huge four-year financial upswing. Also a factor was great public sympathy for all emergency workers, police included, following the Sept. 11 tragedies a year earlier.

This is a different time, with different players and a different set of circumstances, and although the general employees might be just as deserving as those in the city’s two unionized divisions, the public probably isn’t feeling as magnanimous as it did 10 years ago.

Meanwhile, the voters do need to hear what the employees’ grievances are (aside from being scared witless by comments from some officials and employees that they could be on the chopping block), but it is just as true that the voters need to know what their elected officials think about all this.

The common refrain coming from this quarter is that they will abide by the will of the voters, which is like saying, “We would rather not comment until we see how this will affect our own political and in-house standing.”

But if elected officials are afraid to express an opinion and the employees have yet to define what they hope to achieve, the success or failure of a referendum, should it come to that, will depend on an uninformed public’s disposition.

If either side, if indeed there are two sides, is hoping for a particular outcome, it’s time to begin speaking up.

Importance of Ocean City dunes Poem about dunes The season is upon us again; this time can be a joy or a pain.

The tourists can vacation like crazy; when disposing of their trash, they can be lazy.

In between the beach and our building, is a home of plants, lairs, warrens and dens.

This natural beauty is called a dune.

A dune is not a toilet, landfill or a receptacle for trash.

So before you toss, just be a little less rash.

Without a healthy and reliable dune, you will lose your beach.

Yes, deadly flooding could us reach.

So, please, realize how important and useful is this mound of sand.

Without the dune, we can experience erosion without a healthy protective band.

Scooter dispute: gov’t taking away rights Editor, I am not a great supporter of scooter rental in Ocean City, seeing ordinary people driving them on crowded roads. Knowing that many are not familiar with the operation of a power “bicycle,” I cringe at the thought of one being able to rent one without any previous experience.

But one thing that bothers me is the government passing laws, after the fact, regarding businesses already in operation that will eventually shut them down.

A small business is just that, “small.” Suddenly, the city passes regulations that they cannot conform to; therefore, they get shut down.

The arbitrary law that was passed over the objections by one of these businesses proves the point that government is rapidly taking away individual rights and soon will control just what we eat, drink, wear, think and do in the form or “regulations” that circumvent the democratic process of we the people voting on laws.

I suggest that if this regulation is enforced to the hilt, and is supported and backed by marina owners to force a private area for the training of prospective scooters renters, where is the regulation that forces marina owners to provide a private location for training boat renters before the rental agreement is consummated?

City leaders should compromise Editor, Mrs. [Margaret] Pillas is being disingenuous when she attempts to shift the blame for the closing of a small business from the four member majority of the City Council to the small business.

She attempts to shift the blame to the small business by saying that Island Cycles should have known that at least one in the four member majority, some of whom are themselves small business owners, would not object to such a draconian measure, as the closure of a business.

It was my understanding that this year, if the business could devise an adequate substitute, that it would have the ensuing 12 months to attempt to comply with the more stringent regulations imposed by the four member majority. While the health and safety of Ocean City’s residents and visitors is certainly important, there must be a limit. A balance must be struck. For instance, would it not be adequate if the business creates complete written instructions, which must be given to every customer, who must signify that they have read and understand the instructions, coupled with an instruction video which the customer must also signify they have viewed and understood.

Surely, the collective minds of seven of our city’s leaders can devise some compromise whereby the safety of our citizens and visitors is recognized and protected and a small business saved.

Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Ocean City EDITOR’S NOTE: Peter Ayers Wimbrow III is an attorney for Island Cycles in Ocean City, the rental business discussed in this letter.

OPINION 21

By Stewart Dobson Oh, for the good old days when young people knew how to behave.

Back then, you didn’t see or hear any of this jubilant caterwauling by those just freed from the secondary education system. There were no pickup trucks whose cargo beds were loaded with 17year-old bobbleheads, and there was no waving, whistling and finger pointing at pedestrians of the opposite sex.

Not at all, because people in my generation, or actually those who came right before mine, were too busy for that sort of nonsense. They had other things to attend to, like rioting.

It needs to be said that this wasn’t rioting over some lame cause or just for the lack of anything else to do, it was rioting for something really, really important: beer.

It’s true, according to news clippings forwarded to me by a friend, who came across them in her attic.

Yep, on Labor Day of 1960, according to the worthy reporting of what was then the Salisbury Times, those darn kids just ran amok and tore the place apart, all because Mayor Hugh Cropper decided that 17-year-olds just didn’t need to guzzle a case of beer or two, individually and collectively, over the long weekend.

As one letter-to-the-editor writer noted, “They went to the ocean for a real ‘blast,’ but ran head-on into Cropper’s ‘Temperance League.”

So they rioted.

I don’t think our current Play It Safe Campaign has rioting on its list of activities this year, but for those who yearn for those old family values of yesteryear, perhaps it ought to consider it.

I can only imagine how the schedule would read: Monday, Whack-A-Mole; Tuesday, Volleyball; Wednesday, Karaoke; Thursday, Rioting; Friday …

Naturally, regional officials and professional handwringers everywhere declared that the whole thing was instigated by a few “juvenile delinquents” from Baltimore, who apparently were outstanding recruiters.

While it is a fact that, as regards the kids of today, I’d just as soon jump naked into a box of weasels as be around too many of them too often, it occurs to me that they might as well all be graduates of the Betty Crocker School of Cupcakery as compared to those “juvenile delinquents” of 1960.

Ocean City Police Department wages seasonal war on fake IDs Officers lead seminars on spotting counterfeit IDs at resort bars and restaurants ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) One of these things is not like the other.

Despite 24 years on the force, Ocean City Police Department Public Affairs Officer Mike Levy has found that the circa-1970 Sesame Street jingle is still his best weapon against one of Ocean City’s most common forms of crime – minors misrepresenting themselves with fake IDs. “The biggest hurdle we have right now is overcoming the proliferation of digitally-made fake IDs,” Levy said Wednesday during an ID check seminar he held at Shenanigan’s Irish Pub at 4th Street on the Boardwalk – one of many such classes he teaches every summer at local watering holes.

Levy brings to every session several binders, each filled with hundreds of fake IDs confiscated by police or recovered by bar staff after patrons back down from falsifying their age. Levy has studied each one intently, in order to pick out the common inconsistencies

and discrepancies that will tip workers off to someone trying to pass a fake ID. “Look at these side-by-side,” Levy said to the gathered Shenanigan’s staffers as he held up two New York State driver’s licenses. “What isn’t the same? It should jump out at you.”

After some confusion, Levy revealed the answer. “This one has a tiny barcode at the top margin,” he pointed out.

“It’s real. This one doesn’t. It’s fake. We, the OCPD, actually discovered a major error in the New York license copies.”

Levy’s number one nemesis in the ID battle – and the maker of the New York license in question – is a company called ID Chief, which purports to sell novelty reproductions of any given U.S. state’s driver’s license, although it openly acknowledges that the major purpose of these is underage drinking.

The company has a shadowy presence, frequently changing the national domain of its Web site, which currently is based in the Philippines.

What’s more, Levy said, ID Chief is getting better at correcting mistakes as soon as it becomes known that law enforcement is aware of them. One of Levy’s former standby signs of a fake – the creasing of the plastic laminate when the ID is bent – is now a moot point.

“As of this year, I have two IDs that

don’t crease and the magnetic strips scan very well, even in our e-ticket traffic machines,” he said.

But there are other ways to detect fakes – most of which depend on the general astuteness of the bartenders, waiters, and doormen themselves.

“Everyone, if they’re lying, will try to stall, that’s Police 101,” said Levy.

“Ladies,” he said, addressing the female servers, “you all know very well what men do when we think we’re caught in a lie. ‘Umm’ or ‘what?’ We all have the same response.”

Levy also said that the photo on the ID – aside from being the first thing that should be checked for accuracy – is also often a telltale sign of a fake, even if it matches the person in question. Since ID Chief requires the user to submit his or her own photo, the pictures are often badly framed and do not look like a headshot from any given state department of motor vehicles should.

“If you see shoulders, it’s probably a fake,” Levy said. “The DMV always fills the frame with just your face.”

Different from what his pitch to potential underage drinkers themselves may be, Levy’s pitch to business staff is purely economical – preventing the dangers of underage drinking ensures that young people will be coming back

to Ocean City for years to come.

“Show of hands — how many of you came here as a teenager, and kept coming back to work here and for vacation?” he asked. “We need to make passing a fake as hard as possible, not because we just want to be hard on kids, but to make sure they come back, that they don’t end up having some traumatic experience that would not bring them back to OC.” “They [the OCPD] have been doing this for years and it’s a huge help,” said Shenanigan’s owner Greg Shockley.

“Especially with the high school kids this time of year, we have to have someone at the door every night. Ninety-five percent of the time it’s pretty clear [whether or not it’s a fake], but every once and a while you get something funky.”

Online system will be convenient for city and applicants Continued from Page 18

for even longer. Electronic permits and licenses are becoming more and more common in municipalities around the country, although McGean said that for him it was a simple question of customer service.

“It’s what my customer wants. I know I myself now expect to be able to do a lot of things online, it’s just how the world works,” he said.

The challenge, McGean said, is that building permits are not one-size-fits-all, and it was difficult to tailor the web application to generate different responses based on the details of the application in the database.

“That’s been the struggle for us, the company had the system but some of the things we needed it to do weren’t there, particularly for custom responses for special permits,” he said.

“Depending on what type of permit you’re applying for, it can say ‘you’ve been issued etc.’ or ‘please send us these details’ – for instance, the design pressure rating of your windows, or whatever – or, ‘please call this number to make an appointment with the inspector.’”

McGean said the city processes more than 1,500 building permits per year, the majority of which are relatively limited in scope and could be done much more conveniently online. In an effort to reduce legwork, the city already allows ‘drop-off’ permits for certain projects that do not require extensive investigation.

“They’re the type of things like sign face replacement, fencing, roofing, siding, as well as things that are limited to one area, like plumbing only, where we really only need to make sure that the person applying has the required license,” McGean said.

“That’s a huge number of permits – the single-trade drop-offs – but you still have to come to City Hall to do it, this will let you sit at your dining room table and send everything in,” he said.

OC responsible for landfill employees’overtime,mileage Continued from Page 14

Four kayakers lost onPocomokeRiver, found by campfire

Mason, the county’s chief administrative officer, told the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday.

Ocean City’s permit from the Maryland Department of the Environment requires the town to remove sludge daily. No stockpiling is permitted onsite at its wastewater treatment plant.

On Friday, June 1, Ocean City Public Works Director Hal Adkins contacted Worcester County Public Works Director John Tustin to ask for the opening of the county’s landfill for the town’s use on Sunday, June 3. The request was made because of contractual issues with East Coast Resources.

“They had no place to put it Sunday,” Tustin told the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday.

Ocean City had been taking its trash to the landfill during the past several weeks because of the inability of East Coast Resources to do the job, according to Tustin’s June 4 memo to Mason.

After lengthy talks, Ocean City agreed to pay all costs associated with the Sunday, June 3, opening. Those costs included overtime pay for county employees at the landfill.

The county put six employees on call Friday afternoon in case they were needed Sunday.

After more discussions, including talks between Mason and County Commission President Bud Church, Tustin obtained authority to open the landfill on Sunday for Ocean City. Adkins formally requested the opening at 10 a.m.

Saturday for the 7:30 opening.

By 11 a.m., only one truck bearing Ocean City biosolids had gone to the landfill. By 2 p.m., the operation was completed and 110.9 tons were taken to the landfill.

The cost to Ocean City was $12,545.81, which included $4,782.81 for labor and equipment and $7,763 in tipping fees.

The commissioners voted unanimously to open the landfill on the next two Sundays for Ocean City if the need is there, but more advance notice is requested.

In addition to paying the employees’ overtime, Ocean City must also pay for their mileage because Tustin did not think it would be fair to the employees by forcing the additional trip each week at their expense.

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) The light of a campfire helped searchers find four kayakers who became lost on the Pocomoke River on Tuesday evening.

According to Maryland State Police, the kayakers built the campfire for warmth in the heavily forested area and it was visible to a flight crew searching for them aboard a helicopter.

“It would probably have been difficult to see them even with our infrared system and Nightsun,” said First Sgt. Elizabeth Beck of the Maryland State Police Aviation Command.

The overhead search began shortly after the statewide helicopter dispatch center received a call for assistance from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at about 8:20 p.m.

A deputy with the Sheriff’s Office narrowed the search area for the helicopter crew after talking to the lost foursome via cell phone.

After spotting the kayakers, the helicopter pilot used a strong light to direct a deputy to them. The helicopter remained overhead to provide directional guidance while the lost kayakers were taken to the main road where a medical unit was available for evaluation.

The rescued victims, only identified as two males and two females, were released by the EMS crew.

Members of the Newark Volunteer Fire Department assisted in the search.

Wor. Animal Control offers affordable spay/neuter clinic for cats and dogs (June 8, 2012) Worcester County Animal Control has partnered with veterinarian William Schultz to offer an affordable spay/neuter program to residents.

Bimonthly clinics are scheduled two consecutive Mondays each month, with dates announced the prior month. Though clinic dates for June are currently filled, July clinic dates will be announced soon.

The purpose of the clinic is to ensure public safety and reduce the number of unwanted litters of kittens and puppies. Spaying or neutering is a 100 percent effective method to avoid unwanted litters, which could wind up homeless or be needlessly euthanized.

“We’re here for a mission, to protect against unwanted kittens and puppies,” said Chief Animal Control Officer Susan Rantz. “This program helps make spaying and neutering affordable for those who may otherwise forego this needed service.”

The cost for each male dog up to 80 pounds, or each female dog up to 60 pounds, is $100. The cost for each male or female cat is $50. Dogs may be picked up at 3 p.m. and cats may be picked up at 3:30 p.m. the day of the surgery.

Surgery costs include take home medications, and follow up visits are not needed as all stitches used are self dissolving.

Surgeries for pets currently in a heat cycle are not permitted. Proof of rabies vaccination is required. Those without the required vaccination can receive a rabies booster for an additional $10.

The medical equipment and initial medications and supplies were purchased using donations. Proceeds from the program cover all other ongoing costs, making the spay/neuter clinic revenue-expense neutral to the county.

For information call 410-632-1340.

Bdwk. businesses could be closed temporarily for selling synthetics NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 8, 2012) Two Boardwalk businesses will be out of business for 10 days because of selling synthetic marijuana.

That is, unless the owners had appealed their cases by yesterday.

Narcotics detectives had made undercover purchases of the synthetic marijuana on May 25 at Cool Topics at 107 Atlantic Ave. and New York, New York at 101 Atlantic Ave. The Cool Topics store is actually two stores side by side that share a common wall. They are known as Cool Topics 3 and Cool Topics 4.

Employees who sold the illegal products told the detectives that those products would get them high and instructed them on how to get high. They also told the detectives which devices to use with

the synthetic marijuana and how long the high would last.

That same day, according to the findings of fact signed by Mayor and Interim City Manager Rick Meehan, the detectives obtained search and seizure warrants signed by Judge Gerald Purnell for each store. Detectives then went to New York New York, where they seized 101 hidden compartment containers, 26 smoking devices, seven boxes of assorted flavored cigar wrappers and 210 packets of synthetic marijuana. At Cool Topics, they seized 306 cigar wrappers, 46 smoking devices, 308 packets of a synthetic marijuana, 195 hidden compartment containers and two large bags containing synthetic marijuana.

In addition to making those seizures, police arrested David Shalom Lougasi, 52, of Berlin, Nitzahn Lougasi, 27, of Ocean City, Teodras Masresha Kassa,

They were also charged with violations of the Ocean City ordinance banning the sale and distribution of an agent mimicking marijuana, distribution of a hallucinogenic agent, failing to attach a list of ingredients to a synthetic drug and distribution of any substance intended to have physical or psychological effects.

Because of the popularity of synthetic marijuana, also known as K2 and “Spice,” the Ocean City Council passed an emergency ordinance Aug. 30, 2011 to ban its sale. The substance is sprayed with chemicals meant to imitate THC, the active chemical in marijuana.

The council also passed an emergency ordinance that same day to ban the sale of paraphernalia used with the

synthetic marijuana.

Five days after the raids, each store was notified of a license suspension hearing to be held June 1. During that hearing, according to the findings of fact, Meehan determined that the men had violated the Ocean City ordinances about synthetic marijuana.

“The licenses for the business New York New York and Cool Topics 3 are hereby suspended for 10 days on each charge, concurrently, commencing 9 a.m. Friday, June 8, 2012 and the licensee (sic) for business Cool Topics 4 is fined $1,000 to be paid by June 8, 2012.

The difference in the penalties in this case is warranted because there was no evidence or testimony supporting any conversation between the police and employees in Store No. 4, which is one of the determining factors,” the findings of fact stated.

Prepare seniors for hurricane dangers before storms strike area (June 8, 2012) Now one week into the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season, local senior care experts are encouraging families to prepare their elder loved ones for severe weather emergencies and the possibility of evacuation.

“We know that a disaster can be deadly for some seniors because of physical and other limitations,” said Leslie Lewis, owner of the Home Instead Office, which serves Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties. “It’s important for families to talk with their senior loved ones and begin preparing in advance for any kind of emergency that could threaten their health or safety.”

Home Instead offers the following checklist: n Tune in. Contact local emergency management office to learn about the most likely natural disasters to strike your area. Stay abreast of what is going on through local radio or television. n Take stock. Decide what your senior can or cannot do in the event of a natural disaster. Make a list of what would be needed if a disaster occurred. For example, if your loved one is wheelchairbound, determine an evacuation strategy ahead of time. Prepare for whatever disaster could hit the area. n To go or to stay? When deciding to evacuate, older adults should go sooner rather than later. By waiting too long, they might be unable to leave if they require assistance. n Make a plan. Schedule a family

American Red Cross offers hurricane safety tips Last August, the Delmarva Peninsula witnessed the effects of a powerful storm when Hurricane Irene came up the Eastern Seaboard. The American Red Cross urges the community to be prepared for any and all storms that could threaten this year and to take steps now to ensure their safety. There are three actions everyone can take to make a difference: n Get a Kit: Build a kit of emergency supplies and store them in a container that you can take with you should you need to evacuate — water (one gallon per person per day), non-perishable food, flashlight, battery-powered radio, First-Aid kit and medical prescriptions. For a complete list of suggested items, visit www.redcross.org. n Make a Plan: Identify two meeting places for family members should a disaster occur. Assign a place outside the home and assign a second meeting place outside the neighborhood in the event you need to evacuate. n Be Informed: Become aware of the various disasters or emergencies that could occur in the area. Identify how local authorities will notify you during an emergency. In the event of a summer storm, tropical storm, hurricane or other weather-related disasters, listen to weather advisories and follow instructions of local authorities. meeting to develop a plan of action. Include in your plan key people such as neighbors, friends, relatives and professional caregivers who could help. n More than one way out. Seniors should develop at least two escape routes: one to evacuate their home and one to evacuate their community. The local emergency management office can tell you escape routes out of the community. n Meet up. Designate a place to meet relatives or key support network

Practice the plan twice a year. n “Get up and Go Kit.” Have an easy-to-carry backpack that includes three days non-perishable food and water with an additional four days of food and water readily accessible at home.

Levy: the driver was no way at fault trian fatalities.

During the past seven years, the number of pedestrians struck in Ocean City has ranged from 27 in 2011 to 52 in 2006, Levy said. In 2010, 35 pedestrians were struck and one was killed. In 2011, 27 pedestrians were struck and there were no fatalities.

Because of the large number of people crossing Coastal Highway during the summer, the Ocean City Police Department sometimes has special pedestrian details where police officers remind the pedestrians to cross at marked crosswalks and not to cross against traffic signals.

On May 28, another Ocean City visitor, Matthew Cheswick, 22, of Cooksville, was trying to cross Coastal Highway at 54th Street when he was killed by a man driving an Isuzu Rodeo. The driver, Diogo Miller Facchini, 30, of Lorton, Va., continued to drive north for one block before stopping.

The investigation revealed Facchini was speeding and was driving under the influence of alcohol, police said.

“It’s tragic,” Levy said about the pedes-

Structurally unsafe Bishopville Store deemed ‘eye sore’by some NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

The Bishopville Store is structurally unsafe and a danger to the public, according to county officials. The structure will likely be town down.

(June 8, 2012) Due to its dilapidated condition, the Bishopville Store is likely to be torn down.

The store, once the cornerstone of the village, is structurally unsafe and is now a danger to the public.

“It’s a real shame,” Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, told the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday.

Commissioner Louise Gulyas recalled the store’s popularity because it sold such a wide variety of items.

“Aunt Linda Lynch used to refer to it as the Bishopville mall,” she said.

Approximately three weeks ago, Tudor said, his department was notified that the building’s southwest side seemed to be moving. An examination of the building revealed that something was happening structurally to it at a rapid pace. Some structural collapse seemed to be caused by extensive water damage.

Although the building seemed to deteriorate noticeably during a period of several days, it then appeared to settle into a state of some stability. This state, Tudor said, is not likely to last.

“It’s crushing under its own weight,” Tudor said.

The building’s condition is of particular

"

concern because of its location. It faces Route 356 and is close to structures on two sides. Because of its proximity to other structures, it cannot be burned safely.

The property owner lacks the funds to stabilize the building or to have it razed, so the county commissioners voted to have a public hearing to pursue abatement of the nuisance. The most probable outcome is that it will be declared a public nuisance and the county will have it demolished and a tax lien would be put on the property.

“It will wind up as a tax sale,” Tudor said.

U.S.Lifesaving Assoc.recognizes Sullivan for 2010 water rescue (June 8, 2012) Nothing could be more appropriate than to honor a heroic act on Memorial Day. And that is just what happened last weekend at the Ocean City Beach Patrol weekly staff in-service at the convention center. The United States Lifesaving Association grants awards to persons who participate in heroic acts.

The USLA recognition is restricted to acts which show conclusive evidence that the person performing the act voluntarily risked their own life to an extraordinary degree in saving or attempting to save the life of another person, or voluntarily sacrificed themselves in a heroic manner for the benefit of others. The OCBP chapter president, Rick Cawthern and chapter officer, Ryan Cowder submitted a nomination for Ocean City resident Chris Sullivan, to become a recipient of this award. Both Cawthern and Cowder are sergeants on the Ocean City Beach Patrol.

Early Monday morning on Nov. 15, 2010, Chris Sullivan was awakened by a noise, as he was asleep in his 54th street apartment above Yangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place. He looked out the window and saw a car pulling into the parking lot. It was a woman with a flat tire. She was riding the rim, which created the loud noise. He watched as the woman slowed down, then accelerated into the deserted parking lot. He then watched her drive into a boat that was sitting up on a trailer in the parking lot and then drove into the adjacent canal.

Sullivan immediately ran to the car. By the time he got down to the canal, the front end of the car was completely submerged.

Local hero Chris Sullivan receives the USLA Heroic Act Award from Sgt. Ryan Cowder of the Ocean City Beach Patrol.

The back end was still visible and above the water. Sullivan tried to help the woman get out. He tried to move the car closer to a nearby floating dock but he was unable to make it budge. The woman was stuck inside the car and it was quickly filling up with water and sinking.

At that point, he dove into the frigid 50 degree water and tried to get some leverage to pry the doors or windows open.

Again there was no budging the sinking car. At that point he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was going to be able to save her. He ran back to the parking lot and had someone call 911. He looked around for something to

break a window. As luck would have it, he tripped over a piece of wood in the parking lot as he was running to get help. He grabbed the piece of wood and smashed the rear windshield of the car. Once again he entered the frigid water and pulled the woman to safety. At this point there was only about 6 inches of air left as water had almost completed filled the car.

Local newspapers covered the story and Cawthern and Cowder, USLA, OCBP Chapter leadership, both thought Sullivan deserved to be recognized by the USLA as a Hero. Cowder went through the process of nominating Sullivan for a USLA Heroic

Acts in Aquatic Lifesaving award.

During the OCBP weekly meeting, Capt. Butch Arbin spoke about Memorial Day and the meaning of honoring those that have served our country. He also reminded the lifeguards that they make rescues all the time. It is what they are trained to do. In fact, the OCBP makes between 2,000-4,000 rescues a year.

Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and heroic actions undoubtedly saved a life that night in November and it was a privilege to honor him as a hero on Memorial Day and to present him with the Heroic Act Award.

Union organizers offering little details of employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands Continued from Page 1

floated around city government previously, but never gained traction.

While Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police and Fire Departments are unionized, its general employees are not. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter currently prohibits collective bargaining with any employee organization other than these two groups, and could only be changed with the approval of the City Council or the approval of the voters via referendum. As a ballot issue, unionization would first have to collect the requisite number of voter signatures via petition in order to go to the polls. According to City Solicitor Guy Ayres, Maryland state law stipulates that city charters can only be put to referendum if 20% of registered voters sign the petition. As of the last elections in 2010, Ocean City had 6,551 regis-

tered voters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assuming this number has held steady, organizers would thus need 1,311 signatures.

The MCEA is affiliated with the larger American Federation of Teachers, itself an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).

According to MCEA Labor Relations Specialist Jack Nelson, the AFT has been planning the canvassing efforts in Ocean City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just getting the signatures to put it on the ballot for referendum, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we need at this point,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said.

However, some residents and city officials have contacted Ocean City Today with concerns over the fact that canvassers are not city employees, but employees of the AFT who have little

background in city employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was approached by a young man from St. Louis in the grocery store parking lot the other day,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Doug Cymek, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was clear that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about Ocean City. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying a minimum of what they can get away with and trying to collect a signature.â&#x20AC;?

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas said she had a similar encounter at her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked him [the canvasser] if he worked for the city and he did not, he would only say that he worked for the Coalition at 118th Street,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked if he was paid, he said he got $10 for every six signatures.â&#x20AC;?

An AFT organizer at the 118th storefront, who did not wish for her name to be printed, said that canvassing was receiving a generally positive response.

She said that city employees were out on evenings and weekends, although during the day many AFT employees filled in. The relationship of such canvassers is unclear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when asked if they were contracted workers, Nelson, who is based out of Salisbury, replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out there, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an out-

side contractor.â&#x20AC;?

Cymek said he was concerned that specific grievances or bargaining goals werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being discussed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point, they employees have to make their argument to the voters,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A consistent supporter of the Fraternal Order of Police and who canvassed for the unionization of the OCPD, Cymek said that collective bargaining for police has been successful because â&#x20AC;&#x153;the FOP went out there and told people what they needed.â&#x20AC;?

As recently as April, city Parks and Recreation Department employee Greg DeMarco read a letter in front of City Council that condemned the council majority for what he called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;vicious assaultâ&#x20AC;? on municipal workers. He cited changes in retirement benefits, as well as the dismissal of City Manager Dennis Dare, as reasons for employee dissatisfaction and a desire for unionization.

However, Nelson said that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard any of thatâ&#x20AC;? in regards to Dareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal and other topics of concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They [the city employees] want collective bargaining, and that covers a wide variety of different issues and concerns,â&#x20AC;? he said.

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (June 8, 2012) Although nine fewer boats than the year before headed offshore last weekend in search of mako sharks, threshers and bluefish during the 16th annual Mako Mania Shark Tournament, the prize money paid out nearly matched the 2011 payout.

In 2011, 44 boats carrying 197 anglers participated and $65,030 in prize money was awarded to the winners. This year, 35 boats, with 154 anglers, competed and the total purse was $61,700.

“More boats went into more calcuttas. People spent more money this year,” said tournament co-organizer Earl Conley. “The tournament went extremely well. It was a great way to start the sharkfishing season. The tournament is a great kickoff to the whole fishing season.”

In the mako division, Keep Er Wet earned first-place hon-

The Nontypical crew pose with the 224-pound mako shark Jim Hughes, second from right, caught during the first day of the 31st annual Ocean City Shark Tournament, last year. The mako captured first place and was worth $26,670. The team, which included, from left, Jimmy Fields, Capt.

Terry Layton and Tim McGuire, also took top honors in the release division. The crew released 10 sharks (one dusky, four tiger and five mako) and pocketed an additional $14,193. McGuireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32pound dolphin also brought in $720 and Capt. Terry Layton was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharker of the Year.â&#x20AC;?

(June 8, 2012) Ocean City Shark Tournament organizers want to provide the best event possible each year, but not at the expense of sharks.

A small number of sharks are typically brought to the scale annually and those that are weighed are most often â&#x20AC;&#x153;contender fish.â&#x20AC;?

This is because tournament director Mark Sampson stresses the importance of conservation and reminds participants of the leader board sizes each day of the tournaments.

Only three sharks were boated and brought to the Ocean City Fishing Center scale during the 2011 Shark Tournament and they were all caught on the first day of the competition.

Thirty-five of the 40 boats that participated headed offshore on Day 1, the day with the best forecast. Weather and sea conditions were ideal in the morning, but as the day progressed, the wind and waves kicked up from the south and made for a sloppy ride home.

Although participation was down 23 boats last year from the 2010 tournament because of poor weather conditions, a total of $86,352 was paid out to the winners.

While just three sharks were brought to

Specializing in all your Home Improvement Remodeling and Replacement needs

the scale, 100 were reported released (13 mako, two blue, 16 hammerhead, 46 sandbar or dusky, 10 tiger and 13 spinner).

During the 2010 competition, everyone who participated in the tournament was eligible for the release division payouts for first, second and third place. Anglers had even more incentive to cut sharks loose, as the division was expanded to include five added-entry-level calcuttas.

The costs ranged from $50 to $1,000 to enter these wagering pools, which increased the amount of prize money awarded for the most released fish. A total of $20,802 was up for grabs in the 2010 release category.

To help further promote shark conservation and education during the 2011 competition, even more prize money was offered in the release division to teams that â&#x20AC;&#x153;demonstrate the wise use of our marine resources through proper catch-andrelease practices.â&#x20AC;? In 2011, anglers were competing for $30,916 in prize money.

The release division is sponsored by The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, which funds scientific research and educational programs to encourage conservation and best management practices for sustainable marine environments.

This year, prize money will again be awarded to the three teams with the most release points. Cash awards will also be

Weigh-ins 3:30-7 p.m. each day at Ocean City fishing center given to crews that accumulate the most release points each of the three tournament fishing days. The team that releases the most makos will be rewarded as well.

An additional $4,000 has been added to the release division for 2012. This year, the Fish Bomb Award for overall most makos released has been increased from $1,000 to $2,000 and the daily highest number of makos released, will qualify for $1,000 for each fishing day (a total of $3,000).

A release pavilion will be set up near the fishing center weigh-in station, where fishermen will receive recognition for their conservation efforts.

Anglers will again be required to use circle hooks.

“Anglers had nothing but praise about the circle hooks,” Sampson said after the 2011 tournament. “We converted a lot of people. They said they will use circle hooks from now on, which is a win for everyone, including sharks.”

Sampson will conduct a clinic on Wednesday, June 13 at the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City from 5-6 p.m.

Shark identification and safe handling, release and rigging techniques and circle hooks are some of the topics he will discuss. It is free to attend and open to the public. Tournament rules will also be reviewed.

Early registration is up from last year, which Sampson said is always encouraging.

Final registration for the 32nd annual tour-

nament will begin at 5 p.m. that evening.

The cost is $700 per team for up to four anglers. Additional anglers can be added at $50 per angler, up to a total crew of six. A one-day charter boat team registration is available for $400 for up to six anglers.

Anglers will fish two of three days, Thursday through Saturday, June 14-16.

Weigh-ins will take place at the Ocean City Fishing Center from 3:30-7 p.m.

Spectators are invited to watch the weighins. Sampson aims to make the weigh-ins educational, teaching those in attendance about the different shark species. A Web cam will be set up at the fishing center so people can watch and hear the weigh-ins online.

Divisions for the event, which has become one of the largest shark tournaments on the East Coast, are: mako, open (threshers and blue shark only), release, bluefish, tuna and dolphin. Anglers can also participate in added entry levels and daily calcuttas.

“Shark fishing has been great lately.

There’s been a nice mix so far and next week it should be even better as the water gets warmer,” Sampson said Tuesday.

“Tuna fishing has been good too lately.

This is the second year in a row now that the season has started early.”

The Ocean City Shark Tournament is the second of two fishing competitions that allow anglers to accumulate points toward the “Ocean City Sharker of the Year” title. The first event was Mako Mania, which took place June 1-3.

Nick Kuba, center, lifts the 174-pound mako he hooked while fishing aboard the Triple Threat last Thursday during the first day of the 31st annual Ocean City Shark Tournament last year. The mako finished in second place and was worth $1,806.

On Friday and Saturday, June 15-16, from 1-7 p.m., exhibitors, including the National Aquarium’s Marine Animal Rescue Program, The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Maryland Coastal Bays, Salisbury Zoo and Assateague Coastal Trust, among others, will be set up in a tent in the fishing center parking lot. It is open to the public and free to attend.

“We saw the tail about 10 minutes into the fight,” Nolan said. “We backed down after it. It stayed pretty deep.”

Keep Er Wet also had the heaviest tournament bluefish. Lauren Stinchcomb took first place with a 13.3pound bluefish. The crew was awarded $4,542. Baron Daiker’s 11.5pounder, caught aboard Bluefish Teaser, finished in second place and the team pocketed $1,638.

Keep Er Wet anglers also received the W.W. Harman Award, $1,000 for the most sharks released, with nine.

According to Conley, more than 150 sharks were released during the three-day event, presented by Bahia Marina Tournaments. Twenty-five mako sharks and nine bluefish were brought to the scale.

Soccer players to converge on downtown beach LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (June 8, 2012) The Sand Duels Beach Soccer Tournament, which takes place annually near Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City, has grown tremendously since its inception 17 years ago.

During the inaugural event, 60 teams participated. In 2011, 412 squads, consisting of more than 3,200 players competed.

This year, 440 teams, which include more than 3,500 participants (players and coaches), are scheduled to take part in the two-day 5-on-5 tournaments, according to Derek Wilson, Gurú De Eventos for Baltimore-based ASG Events and Promotions LLC, the company producing the event.

“This accounts for a crowd size of players, coaches, parents, siblings, friends and family of over 10,000 people in town specifically for beach soccer,” he said.

Teams have traveled to the resort from Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, West Virginia, Rhode Island, North Carolina, and even Tennessee, to compete. Wilson said many teams participate annually, but each year more new squads sign up.

The tournament will consist of divisions for coed, boys, girls, women and men as well as recreational and competitive brackets.

“Many recreation teams play for ‘fun,’ but [are] still there to win. The competitive divisions, especially the men’s’ open division for the cash prize, get very competitive and teams are out to win, but still have fun,” Wilson said.

“All competitive youth teams play in travel leagues year-round while playing in tournaments all around the country.”

The U-9 to U-14 boys’ and girls’ youth divisions will hit the beach Saturday, while the U-15 through adult divisions will play on Sunday. Games begin at 8:30 a.m. both days and run until 7 or 8 p.m. Four players and a goalie will take the field for each team. Teams are guaranteed a minimum of three games, but could play as many as six competitions. Winners in each division will receive medals. Cash prizes will be awarded in the men’s’ division.

Wilson describes the beach event with numerous games going on at the same time as “a soccer-themed family festival.”

“Players, coaches, parents, kids, siblings and friends [are] excited about playing soccer in a great environment on the beach in Ocean City,” he said. “[They’re] all there to have fun while getting a chance to play soccer for a few hours. Just about all the leagues they play in during the spring have ended so this tournament is a great way to cap off the season, as they may not see their teammates until August. Many teams registered back in November and December so they have been waiting to play for a long time.”

REAL ESTATE REPORT

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Three seller no-nos when listing homes LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (June 8, 2012) Despite recent sales volume increases over the past year, we are still in a buyers’ market. Sellers need to make sure they really “come out of the gate running” when listing their property for sale.

The following are three definite no-no’s for sellers when listing their house for sale.

■ Over Pricing Your Home: Many sellers feel that their home is “unique”, and should therefore, bring a higher price than the other homes in the neighborhood. But, based on national averages, if you’ve surpassed more than seven showings for your home and not received an offer, you are probably overpriced. Be realistic in your starting list price and try to compare your home without emotion — there is really no room in this market for overpriced homes.

■ Not Understanding Your Actively Listed Competition: First and foremost, sellers should always be careful to keep their competition in mind when deciding on a list price for their home. Of course, sellers need to know what the recent comparable sales or settled properties are — but just as important is knowing the active comparable sales. If you know which “other” houses interested buyers are going to want to see in addition to your house, you can properly price your house to beat out all of your competition.

■ Still Looking at Your House as Your Home: Once sellers make the decision to list, they need to detach themselves emotionally and start to view the home as a “product” for sale. To have the house in its best possible shape to present to buyers, sellers need to clean, de-clutter and make repairs to have the house in good working condition and in its most presentable and marketable shape.

Blue Bar & Grill, a “seafood restaurant with a Mediterranean flair,” opened on 54th Street in Ocean City just in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

BLUE BAR & GRILL OPENS New 54th Street seafood restaurant has Mediterranean flair LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (June 8, 2012) Blue Bar & Grill opened on 54th Street in Ocean City just in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend and business was steady, with the food receiving rave reviews.

“The first weekend was great. We were packed. There was a line out the door,” said chef and co-owner Giulio Assante. “All of the feedback has been great. People love the ambiance of the place and the food.”

Assante describes Blue as a seafood restaurant with a Mediterranean flair.

Some of Assante’s signature items include the blue buffalo calamari (tender, crisp calamari tossed in a signature buffalo sauce and topped with gorgonzola), the blue braised short ribs (slowly cooked boneless short ribs served over mashed potatoes with a red wine reduction sauce) and seafood crepes (stuffed with crab meat, shrimp, scallops and salmon topped with Sambuca pink sauce with a touch of sweet balsamic).

Black and blue tenderloin (seared tenderloin strips served over a grilled pita and topped with a blue cheese sauce), lobster and asparagus risotto, jumbo scallops and red snapper creole have also been big sellers prepared by Assante, who attended culinary school in Naples, Italy.

Bar manager Derek Dalrymple created a specialty

drink menu, which includes mango and strawberry mojitos, as well as key lime pie and perfect pear cocktails.

Growing up, Assante and his brother, Nick, Blue’s manager, both worked in their family’s Italian eatery, Assante’s, in Pennsylvania. Robert Rhoads had dined in the family restaurant and he loved the food, Assante said.

“He thought it would be great [in Ocean City],” he said.

Assante and Rhoads looked at a few available spaces in Ocean City and the 54th Street building was a good fit, although it needed work.

They took over the space in January and installed new flooring and windows, painted, extended the dining room and upgraded the outdoor deck,

which seats about 30, overlooking Coastal Highway. The bar is also new and behind it is a glass wall with bubbles flowing through it, which customers find intriguing.

“It never get tired to look at it,” Assante said.

The dining room seats 70 people, while the bar can accommodate 15 guests. There is also a lounge area with modern decor, couches, tables and chairs.

“It’s very laid back. People can sit with a drink and relax,” Assante said.

Blue Bar & Grill is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. A deejay will provide music on Friday and Saturday nights. Happy hour will be offered in the coming weeks. Theme party nights are also in the works.

Bethany Resort Furnishings owner Kimmerly Messick took over the second floor of Homeworks on 85th Street and opened OC Resort Furnishings in April. It features furniture, accessories and home decor for the living room, dining room and bedroom. A selection of mattresses is also available. Clients can work with a design specialist, who will guide them through the entire process of furnishing a home.

Resort Furnishings store opens above Homeworks in OC LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (June 8, 2012) Kimmerly Messick, owner of Bethany Resort Furnishings in Bethany Beach, Del., has furnished and decorated model homes, rental properties and clients’ residences in Ocean City for a number of years.

But up until recently, she didn’t have a store in the resort. She does now, after taking over the second floor of Homeworks Carpet One Floor & Home on 85th Street.

“So much of our work is done in Ocean City. I needed a presence here,” she said.

Messick started her career at Homeworks in 1981, when it was located on 67th Street, and worked there for 10 years.

“I learned from the best,” said Messick of Glenn Hamstead, who passed away in March 2000. He established the business with his wife, Joyce, in 1980. It remains a family enterprise, with sons Warren and David now running the business, which specializes in floor covering, and also offers window treatments.

In the beginning of April, Messick moved into the upstairs space of the Homeworks building.

“We make referrals to each other. It’s a good marriage,” she said. “It’s nice when you can get everything you need all in one place.”

Messick purchased Resort Furnishings in 1999 and changed the name to Bethany Resort Furnishings. She has developed a loyal clientele over the years.

She opened BRF Clearance Center on Coastal Highway in Fenwick Island, Del. about three years ago. Discontinued and one-of-a-kind pieces, floor models and slightly imperfect items are available there.

“I go to at least six trade shows a year. I try to find the best value for the money, without compromising quality,” said Messick, who buys in quantity to keep prices affordable for customers. “We have $999 sleep sofas, bedroom sets and dining room See DESIGN on Page 45

Casinos statewide see increased revenue, led by Ocean Downs ALEXANDER PYLES ■ The Daily Record Newswire (June 8, 2012) On the eve of the opening of Maryland’s third casino, the state said Tuesday that the two existing slots parlors pulled in more than $14.55 million in May, a slight increase from April’s $14.54 million revenue total and a marked increase over the corresponding month last year.

The total was still less than the two facilities generated in February and March.

The modest month-to-month gain was due to a small increase in revenue at the Casino at Ocean Downs in Worcester County, which enjoyed its best month since September 2011. The casino generated almost $4.5 million in May, about $700,000 more than April’s $3.8 million total. The casino’s revenue also jumped 21 percent from May 2011.

Stephen L. Martino, director of the Maryland State Lottery Agency, said Ocean Downs was gaining trust from area residents, which are starting to see the 800-slot facility as an “active participant in the business community.”

He also said Ocean Downs should see its revenue increase over the next several months as the busy season for tourism begins.

“I think the challenge at Ocean Downs, quite frankly, is it looks like the valley is a little deeper and longer than the peak is higher and longer,” Martino said. “The peak

really starts in May and June. July and August are going to be their best months.”

Casino management did not respond to a request for comment.

The increase in revenue at Ocean Downs was offset by a decrease at the 1,500-machine Hollywood Casino Perryville, which generated about $600,000 less than it did in April. Still, the facility’s $10.1 million in May revenue represents a 5 percent increase over May 2011.

“I think what we tend to focus on is … the year-over-year number,” Martino said. “I think [that is] the best comparative metric for us.”

The drop at Perryville, though, comes just before Martino said he expects the casino to experience a 20 to 25 percent reduction in revenue as excitement over the Wednesday night opening of the Maryland Live! casino next to the Arundel Mills mall in Hanover drives would-be Cecil

County gamblers to Anne Arundel County. How long the dip will last is uncertain, Martino said.

James Karmel, a gambling analyst and history professor at Harford Community College, said he would be surprised if Maryland Live! caused any dip at all.

“I think Hollywood Perryville is competing mainly with the Delaware and Pennsylvania casinos,” Karmel said. “I don’t think Maryland Live! will cut into it a lot.”

Also uncertain is how much revenue Maryland Live! will generate in its first month of operation — though Martino admitted the number would likely be an aberration. New casinos tend to open strong, he said, before stabilizing.

With one month left in fiscal 2012, the state’s slots have generated $153.7 million, with $74.5 million going to the Education Trust Fund. Casino operators have kept $50.7 million and the horse racing purse

account has received about $10.8 million.

Legislation passed by the General Assembly in a 2007 special session and ratified by Maryland voters in 2008 projected slot machines would gross more than $1 billion this fiscal year.

But those projections were based on the assumption that each of the state’s five casinos would be operating by 2011. The Maryland Live! casino will be the state’s third — and largest — facility, with 3,200 slot machines initially and another 1,550 set to be installed by the fall. The casino’s 4,750 slot machines will give it the sixthmost electronic gambling games in any facility in the country.

A license has been awarded for a casino at Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort in Allegany County, and a Caesars Entertainment Corp.-led group bidding on the license for a Baltimore casino could be awarded this month.

sets. If I find a value, I pass on a value.”

Messick has a large inventory and most purchases can be delivered the next day.

Different merchandise is featured at each location.

Messick said additional pieces will be coming to the OC Resort Furnishings store, which is managed by her sister, Kelly. Her brother, Kevin, works parttime at the Clearance Center.

“With these three locations, we can service all type of clientele,” she said. “If you’re focused on what you do, you do it the best. I focus on furnishing second homes. When you go to your second home you want to feel like you’re on vacation.”

The company offers more than just living room, dining room and bedroom furniture, mattresses and home decor.

Messick also provides design services at no additional charge if merchandise is purchased. Clients can work with a design specialist, who will guide them through the entire process from start to finish.

Messick also has painters on staff and a custom wall mural designer.

Messick said she plans to expand her business into other locations in the near future.

One of the reasons Messick is able to grow her business and why it is so successful is because of her employees, many of whom have been with her for a number of years.

“A lot of the success behind any business is the people you surround yourself with,” she said. “I always say they do all the work and make me look good.”

OCAIRSHOW SUMMER SKY SPECTACULAR CELEBRATES FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (June 8, 2012) Organizers of the 2012 OC Air Show, set to take place this Saturday and Sunday, are expecting the fifth annual event to keep spectators on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

“This is the fifth anniversary and it’s getting bigger and better every year,” said Cathy Bassett, spokeswoman for B. Lilley LLC Productions, the company producing the show. “We have an incredible line-up of performers, with the return of the Thunderbirds. For the first time, we have two jet demonstrations teams, with Thunderbirds and the Black Diamond Jet Team. It will be an exciting, fun weekend for the whole family.”

The weekend show will kick off Saturday with a parachute jump by the 101st Airborne Scream Eagles team, who will carry a large flag down to the beach. More than a dozen military and civilian performers are set to take to the sky each day, from noon to 4 p.m.

Many people who arrived in Ocean City before the main event may have caught a glimpse of them practicing their acts this week.

The show is centered around the beach at 16th Street, where there are premium viewing areas set up for a fee, though the performances may be viewed from the beach and along the Boardwalk for free.

The fifth anniversary show will feature pilots and teams performing various forms of acrobatic and extreme flying. The two-day line-up, headlined by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, will showcase parachute jump teams, low altitude flyovers and the nation’s best aerobatic performers, including the U.S. Navy F-18 Hornet, GEICO Skytypers, A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog), 2011 Aerobatic Freestyle World Champion Rob Holland, U.S. Navy Seals Leap Frogs, Mike Wiskus in the Lucas Oil Pitts, 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles, Mike Goulian in the Goodyear Extra 330SC, Sean Carroll in the Yakovlev Yak-9 and C-5M Super Galaxy. The U.S. Coast Guard will also conduct a search and rescue demonstration.

Carroll, who lives in Ocean City, will be flying in the air show again this year, performing aerobatic tricks in his vin-

tage World War II Yak-9 plane.

“It’s a fast, noisy airplane. It’s a difficult plane to fly, but it’s a fun plane to fly. It’s a loud monster,” he said.

Carroll, who has been flying the Yak-9 for 14 years, said the Ocean City show is one of his favorites because of the beach location. He will be maneuvering between 50 and 5,000 feet above the beach, reaching speeds of nearly 500 miles per hour. Many of his friends and family will be watching him perform.

“I love Ocean City. It’s like I’m the hometown boy,” Carroll said. “I’ve been all around the world and Ocean City is a pretty cool place to call home.”

After his performance, Carroll said he will stop by Show Center to meet fans and sign autographs.

Based in Minneapolis, Minn., Mike Wiskus and his Lucas Oil Pitts plane will make their Ocean City Air Show debut, and he said he is looking forward to the event.

High school graduates are here; teach them to be safe,not sorry SENIOR SLANT

Play It Safe program offers free activities around OC IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer (June 8, 2012) Oh yeah, folks, the June bugs are here in bodaciously humongous numbers. Be sure this year’s graduates know all about the absolutely free events that our town’s Play It Safe and Alcohol and Drug Prevention committees work year-round to set up — activities to keep them busy 24/7.

Building good, lasting memories is what it’s all about. Remind them that there’s good and bad peer pressure.

Tell them to check the free events, such as Saturday’s tie-dye T-shirt activity and pizza eating contest, or the karaoke contest from 6-8 p.m. Sunday (June 10 and 17) on the Boardwalk at Dorchester Street. Remind them to sign in early on to pick up a schedule of cool, megaprizewinning events and their free bus pass for the week. Freebees of this magnitude are hard to come by.

Tell ’em volunteers are locals, so feel free to ask questions. Maybe they’ll find out early on that mingling with old folks ain’t so bad and local volunteers we will discover likewise about them.

Be sure to tell the graduates, “Y’all come back, you hear! Bring the family next time!”

Oops, I almost forgot they could win a three-day stay.

Lest I date myself, that was WWII not I. As for hardwood floors, my kids spent

Which brings to mind, the dancing Mooneys, Jim and Mary. Too bad, in their case, that what happens in Ocean City doesn’t stay in Ocean City.

When papa won’t dance and mama wants to rock and roll, I’m all for the gals hitting the dance floor. Ocean City is the place to make that happen.

Rumors abound that the baby boomer males are more leery of dance floors than their fathers. It’s a male thing passed down by their forefathers. Why else would that Chicago dude sing about being amazed at seeing a man dance with his wife? A conga line finale sounds good to me.

Follow heated history lesson with cool cheesecake FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Even weight-watchers need to indulge now and then DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (June 8, 2012) History supports the passing of time. Truth can be a variable of many degrees, which, in essence, challenges the range of certainty. Personal preference maintains the philosophy of detail and completes the cycle of choice.

The attempt for perfection should be the goal of every chef.

On that note, let us take to the sky and head for Puebla, Mexico. If you adore mouthwatering food, a fantastic exploration is sure to follow. Because of its location on the coastal road from the port of Veracruz to Mexico City, Puebla has become a melting pot of Mexican history and culture. Spanish conquistadors, French bourbons and Oriental traders contributed to a cuisine that has become the culinary capital of Mexico.

If subjectivity exits, it is actuality, then it is objectively so. Two of the country’s most popular dishes, mole and chiles en nogada, were created on Puebla. Indigenous ingredients from the Aztecs and Mayans greatly influenced the complexity and richness of these national favorites.

A closer look at mole is the subject at hand.

The word mole (pronounced MOH-

You can’t control the market, but you

can control your decisions.

lay) includes several types of moles, in a variety of colors and aromas. Contrary to popular belief, not all moles include chocolate. Following are two examples of the intricate mole — specification becomes a major consideration.

Mole coloradito includes ancho chiles, almonds, tomatoes, seeds, bananas, and spices. Mole rojo contains guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, pecans, peanuts, tomatoes, chocolate, garlic, onions, and spices.

Mole is a special occasion meal in which the preparation is notoriously time-consuming. Mole negro is probably the most well known mole and is typically served over chicken. The sauce can include onions, garlic, salt, oil, ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, almonds, sesame seeds,

roasted peanuts, pepitas, pecans, tomatoes, tomatillos, plantains, raisins, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, allspice, peppercorns, oregano, stale bread, corn tortillas, Mexican chocolate, chicken stock and brown sugar. There is no set recipe and the sauce is open for interpretation.

Historians dispute the true origins of mole sauce. One version has it that, in the 16th century, the nuns at Puebla’s Convent of Santa Rosa discovered that the archbishop was en route for a visit. They scrounged around the kitchen to find food to serve him, but found little to offer.

They prayed until an angel appeared and directed them to combine a seemingly random assortment of ingredients, including unsweetened chocolate, roasted chili peppers, nuts, stale bread, and about 25 other ingredients.

Another version states that MonSee NOW on Page 62

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Recently obtained information could open a new opportunity for a career change. But temper that Arian impatience and act on it only when all the facts are made available.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re moving into a more active cycle. So put your ideas back on the table, where they’ll be given the attention they deserve. Expect a favorable change in your love life.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend might ask for a favor that you feel would compromise your values. Best advice: Confront him or her and explain why you must say no. A true friend will understand.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship continues to develop along positive lines. Meanwhile, a brewing job situation could create complications for one of your pet projects. Look into it right away.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your interest in a co-worker’s project could lead to a profitable experience for you both. But before you agree to anything, be sure to get all your legal I’s dotted and T’s crossed.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful whose counsel you take about a possible long-distance move.

Some advice might not necessarily be in your best interest. Stay focused on your goals.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone might try to complicate efforts in an attempt to work out that confusing job situation. But don’t let that keep you from sticking with your decision to push for a resolution.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A disagreement on how to handle a family problem could create more trouble for all concerned. Look for ways to cool things down before they boil over.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unexpected change in long-standing workplace procedure and policy could provide a new career target for the Archer to aim at. Start making inquires.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re finally able to get back into the swing of things, as those temporary doldrums begin to lift. Expect some surprising disclosures from a new colleague.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your innate sense of justice to see you through a dilemma involving a family member. Other relatives who’ve stood back will soon come forward as well.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A new friend seems to be pushing you into taking risks — financial or otherwise. Best advice: Don’t do it. She or he might have a hidden agenda that hasn’t surfaced yet.

Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Arthur Jones, above, signs autographs during the annual Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts parade last Saturday, which began on 19th Street, otherwise known as Johnny Unitas Way, to 26th Street. This year marked the council’s 48th celebration in Ocean City, where it annually holds a convention and parade. Formerly known as the Council of Colts Corrals, the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts has gathered in the resort area since 1968 — the group even continued the festivities when Baltimore didn’t have a football team. The council was renamed when the Ravens came to Baltimore. (Right) Baltimore Ravens running back Anthony Allen. (Far right) Baltimore Ravens linebacker Chavis Williams waves to fans.

Now is time to partake in sinful cheesecake packed with goodies FOOD FOR THOUGHT Continued from Page 51

ELKS MAKE $2,500 DONATION Jim Flaig, treasurer of Ocean City Elks Lodge 2645, left, and other members of the Lodge present a $2,500 donation to the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee to benefit its Play It Safe program. Also pictured, from left, are Donna Greenwood, Al “Hondo” Handy, Bev Townsend, Carroll Wagner, Lois Twilley and Pete Peterson.

tezuma, the Aztec king, served mole to the Spaniards when they first arrived to his kingdom.

Prepared mole can be found at the international section of your local supermarket. It is quick, tasty and cost effective.

The subject of fiery peppers puts me in the mood for a chilled, creamy cheesecake. Substituting goat cheese for some of the cream cheese results in a luscious, velvety filling. A graham cracker crust infused with crunchy almonds and peppery ginger snaps makes for a richer crust.

Even those who are serious about

their waistline need to indulge once in a while.

The time has come to partake in sinful cheesecake packed with delectable goodies.

Graham cracker crust 1 1/4 cup graham crackers, crushed 1/4 cup almonds, chopped very finely 1/4 cup ginger snaps, crushed 1 stick salted butter, melted 3 tablespoons light brown sugar Cheesecake 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into pieces 3 (4-ounce) packages goat cheese, crumbled 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups sugar 4 eggs * crystallized ginger and fresh mint as a garnish 1. For the graham cracker crust: preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients in a blender. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Add melted butter and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. Press crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

3. For the cheesecake: reduce oven heat to 325 degrees. Place cream cheese, goat cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth.

Add sugar and continue to incorporate all the ingredients. Finally, add the eggs and blend until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4. Pour batter into prepared crust.

Bake 50 to 60 minutes. The cheesecake will continue to cook as it cools down, so the center should be slightly jiggly when you take it out of the oven.

5. Place pan on a rack to cool completely. Then cover and refrigerate overnight.

6. Serve each slice with crystallized ginger and fresh mint as a garnish.

Secret Ingredient: Time. “There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now” … James Baldwin.

Ocean City in search of official anthem of summer 2012 (June 8, 2012) The town of Ocean City is on the hunt for the official Song of the Summer for 2012. The town is holding a contest and asking citizens to write an original song about Ocean City. The Song of the Summer contest will be hosted on the resort’s official Facebook page, www.facebook.com/OceanCity.

“Everyone associates certain songs with memories — especially when it

comes to the beach and vacations,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “We want to have an official Ocean City anthem for summer 2012 and thought our talented fans would be the best composers. This is going to be a great summer in Ocean City and it will be deserving of an equally great theme song.”

Those who wish to enter the contest must write an original song, record it and

then submit it via the official Ocean City Facebook page. Contest entries must be completely original composition (both music and lyrics), no longer than three minutes in length, must be submitted by an individual, not a group, and cannot mention any specific resort business.

After the submission period closes, contest administrators will choose the top three songs and allow the public to vote

for the winner on the Facebook page. Entries may be submitted between June 11 and July 2. The contest winner will win the opportunity to have the song produced and recorded in Ocean City as well as perform the song at Sunfest 2012. The song will also be featured as a free download on the iTunes store.

For information, rules and regulations, visit http://ococean.com/songofsummer.

Harley-Davidson’s ‘Cruise-ins’presented monthly at Seaford dealership (June 8, 2012) Harley-Davidson of Seaford’s summer cruise-ins have begun at the dealership. Upcoming cruise-ins are set for the last Friday in June, July and August, and are sponsored by Nationwide Insurance, Fast Lane Biker Magazine, The Beach and BIG radio stations, as well as WMDT TV-47 and CW3.

The opening event, held May 25, took place in the “Enchanted Forrest,” located next to the dealership and featured the band Anything Goes. The events are open to all motorcyclists, and cars are welcome as well. K&R Concessions provide food and the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department sells beverages. Cruise-ins are free.

Freshly Squeezed will perform during the June 29 event, and the July 27 event will be a Toys For Tots Christmas In July fundraiser featuring the band Semiblind and DJ JoyStar. The final event will be Aug. 31, a full moon, and feature the band Cherry Budd.

mary Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership from North Dover to Exmore, Va., and is open Monday through Saturday all year long, and Sundays through Delmarva Bike Week®. For more information, visit www.hdofseaford.com, find HarleyDavidson of Seaford on Facebook or call 302-629-6161.

New interdenominational ministry to begin June 11,on resort beach (June 8, 2012) Beginning June 11, a new beach ministry will begin at 38th Street in Ocean City. This inter-denominational ministry is open to the public and families are encouraged to attend.

Beginning at 6:15 p.m., there will be live music, followed by a short devotion. Then, attendees are invited to hang out, surf and

play on the beach.

Years ago, Michelle Sommers of Sommers Surf Lessons was part of a similar beach ministry in Ocean City. “I met many wonderful friends through this ministry, while deepening my own personal faith,” she said. Recognizing a need for outreach, Sommers and Colby Nelson-Kauffman of

the Ocean City Beach Patrol agreed it was time to launch a similar ministry.

Both love the ocean almost as much as they love their families and the Lord.

“The beach is a great place to spread the word of God because looking at the ocean, there’s no denying the blessings that God has given each of us,” Sommers said. “I’ve

seen the positive influence that surfing and other beach activities can give to people.

We will provide an atmosphere for everyone to feel comfortable, regardless of their age, background, or denomination.”

Beach patrol reminds visiting graduates to be cautious in ocean ON GUARD

Among teens, excitement attimesimpedesjudgement KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer

PHOTO COURTESY OCBP

The Ocean City Beach Patrol trains and updates all personnel in many lifesaving techniques each season. Because of the potential seriousness of this type of injury, surf rescue technicians are constantly practicing and perfecting their skills at performing the spinal chord immobilization removal technique. In this picture, one SRT is in the role of the victim while others perform the technique, which, in this case, includes treatment by paramedics.

(June 8, 2012) While the men and women of the Ocean City Beach Patrol (surf rescue technicians, SRTs) alertly scan their area and the water in front of them for signs of danger, trouble is sometimes brewing behind their stands this time of year. Recent high school graduates are coming to Ocean City to enjoy their new found freedom. Full of confidence, and feeling immune to any dangers, they sometimes allow the excitement of the atmosphere to impede their judgment enough to get them into trouble.

The ocean water may seem a little chilly, but it’s actually pretty warm for this time of the year. We have been seeing

water temperatures that we normally see in July. The sun is warm. The water temperatures are inviting. When a town full of celebrating graduates is added to the mix, the SRTs have their work cut out for them.

At no other time of year do we see more teenagers chase each other down the beach and into the ocean only to end up diving into shallow water. The more experienced among them dive shallow and usually do not suffer any consequences of this risky behavior. The less fortunate will spend the rest of their vacation trying to explain the scabs on their forehead and nose. The really unfortunate will not be able to run or dive ever again.

While beach patrol members respond to spinal injuries every year, none are more tragic than those that occur when young people are injured from diving into shallow water. It is not their age so much, but the fact that these injuries are so preSee BEACH on Page 70

Relay to honor late Capt. Schoepf set for June10 (June 8, 2012) The Ocean City Beach Patrol’s annual Capt. Schoepf Relay will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 10, beginning at Seventh Street.

Capt. Schoepf served as captain of the Ocean City Beach Patrol from 1987-1996, although his leadership role on the beach patrol was quite extensive, beginning with his appointment as “assistant” to Capt.

Bob Craig in the late 1960s.

Every year in June, in honor of his many years of service to OCBP, a relay is held where a classic steel rescue buoy is passed along by alumni guards and current lifeguards. The relay begins at Seventh Street, Capt. Schoepf’s old stand, with a run to the end of Ocean City followed by a swim the entire length of Ocean City.

The buoy is returned to the beach and there is a run back to the starting point.

The direction of the relay is contingent upon the direction of the ocean current on the morning of the relay.

Sergeants and crew chiefs on quads cover each stand as each surf rescue technician (lifeguard) takes a turn running or swimming the buoy along the beach toward the inlet or the Delaware line (depending on the current that day).

This honorary relay begins with a prayer and has been led off by various people that have been influenced by Capt.

Schoepf such as his daughter, his wife, as well as former beach patrol members that served under him.

Each year either a family member or OCBP alumni begin the starting leg of the

relay. This relay is open to the Ocean City Beach Patrol as well as anyone that has worked for the beach patrol in the past or has a personal connection to Capt.

Schoepf.

In 1950, he applied for a job and was tested thoroughly by Capt. Craig. After serving admirably for a few years, he was advanced to sergeant, then to lieutenant.

Ocean City had grown by expanding the city limits from 15th Street to 24th Street, then to 41st Street and finally to the Delaware State line, a distance of 10 miles.

Obviously, the patrol had to be increased to cover the additional distances and

greater influx of visitors. Additional supervision was also needed. With the approval of the mayor and City Council, a new position was created, “Assistant to the Captain.”

It was his idea to divide the patrol into crews. The idea of an annual crew competition was also Capt. Schoepf’s. The competition was a good public relations tool with visitors who had a chance to see the various abilities of the guards in running and swimming.

In 1980, the Ocean City Beach Patrol formed a local chapter of the United See BEACH on Page 70

Beach patrol: 40 percent of spinal injuries in surf caused by diving in shallow water ON GUARD Continued from Page 68

ventable that makes them particularly tragic.

The beach patrol’s No. 1 rule is “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’’s in the stand.” Rule No. 2 is “Check the water depth with your feet, not your head.” Our ocean water is not as clear as pool water, and we don’t have the depth printed along the edge in big black numbers like it is at the local swim club.

While lifeguards try to stop accidents before they happen, even whistle blasts sometimes don’t catch the attention of those who are horsing around and chasing each other. Surf rescue technicians are often left cringing in their stands, hoping that those who just dove into the footdeep water will pop up unscathed. This is usually followed by what we call an im-

promptu beach safety presentation as the closest lifeguard explains the dangers of their actions.

While 40 percent of spinal injuries occurring in the surf are caused by people diving into shallow water, the majority result from body surfers and body boarders riding waves that are breaking too close to shore. We encourage people to keep their arms stretched out in front of them when body surfing, and to avoid riding waves that are breaking close to the sandbar or beach. We hope that everyone who visits our beach will enjoy many healthy returns.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol has worked with trauma doctors to develop a specialized technique to manage suspected head, neck and back injuries. Although every surf rescue technician is trained and skilled in the use of these techniques, it is far better for our beach patrons to have injuries prevented rather than treated. Taking responsibility for your own actions and spreading the caution about spinal cord injuries is the great-

est form of prevention we have.

Many people just do not realize that wet sand is just as unyielding as concrete.

The impact of your head, neck or back colliding with the hard, sandy bottom could effect the bones of the spinal column and cause damage and possible paralysis.

Most people would never think of attempting a flip in the middle of a parking lot for fear of striking the ground. How-

ever, many of these same individuals will attempt these aerial maneuvers on the beach or into a few inches of ocean water, with the all too often result of witnessing our spinal injury management technique first-hand.

Please, use your head to protect your spine and think before diving or riding breaking waves into the beach. Have fun, but remain safe!

Beach relay pays tribute to Schoepf Continued from Page 69

States Life Saving Association. Three years later under the direction of chapter president Schoepf, the Ocean City chapter began hosting regional competitions.

He was given the complete responsibility for setting up and running the USLA Mid-Atlantic Championships.

When Craig retired in 1987, Schoepf was appointed captain by the mayor and City

Council. He served the town of Ocean City more than 40 years.

Visitors to Ocean City have enjoyed watching this relay as the vintage buoy travels up the beach and then back down in the ocean with the many exchanges along the way. It usually takes approximately five hours for the buoy to make the full circle from Seventh Street and back.

Powerful Thunderbirds crew to highlight fifth anniversary show Continued from Page 49

“What a great place to do a show. My favorite shows are over water. We travel all over the U.S. and Canada and do a lot of big shows, and this is a nice addition to our schedule,” said Wiskus, who will perform many of his stunts about 10-15 feet above the ocean. “Spectators can expect to see a lot of smoke and hear a lot of noise. They’ll see airplanes do things you don’t expect airplanes to do.”

During the show, Wiskus’ aircraft will reach speeds of 250-280 miles per hour, and he will also drop to zero.

The GEICO Skytypers Air Show Team consists of six of 11 remaining vintage World War II SNJ-2’s that demonstrate low-level precision flying. The team also “types” messages at 10,000 feet with puffs of smoke in dot matrix-style letters at an altitude of 10,000 feet. On a clear day, the messages can be seen nearly 20 miles away. The GEICO Skytypers are the only

flying unit in the world that performs at air shows typing their messages in the sky.

During the 18-minute performance, the GEICO Skytypers will come within 500 feet of the beach and reach speeds ranging from 120-180 miles per hour.

“Ocean City is a really good show for us. It’s one of our favorite shows and it’s so close to New York so a lot of our families come,” said Jim Record, the No. 7 pilot, who has been with the team since 1992. The former Navy pilot, based in Long Island, N.Y., handles the team’s media, show narration and filming. “We like the commitment of the community.

They support the air show a lot.”

Fans will have an opportunity to meet some of the pilots at the GEICO tent near Show Center.

The weekend will also include a number of beach parties, happy hours and other gatherings at local businesses,

where the public can meet the performers. On Saturday, a fifth anniversary party will take place at 7 p.m. at Ocean Downs Casino, on Route 589 near Ocean Pines, featuring a joint parachute team jump by the Navy Seals Leap Frogs and 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles at 8:15 p.m., followed by a finale fireworks display.

Since the Air Show’s inception, visitors have flocked to Ocean City to witness the extreme flying spectacle. According to the city’s Demoflush statistics, which estimate population based on wastewater usage, there were 260,794 people in town during the 2011 event. That was an increase from 226,679 during the same weekend in 2010, though the air show did not fall on that weekend. The population during the 2010 air show weekend was 205,882, which was noticeably lower than during the 2011 event.

General viewing from the beach is free.

Tickets for premium viewing at the Show Center on 16th Street and the beach are available, starting at $22.
