Schools address wellness program Focus to expand, include nutritional education in science and health classes

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) County public schools will be ramping up its health and wellness program. The Board of Education during its Tuesday meeting passed revisions to its Health and Wellness Policy — one that has been in place since 2006 — addressing students’ nutrition and physical activity, staff wellness and other school-based activities aimed to promote health. The revised policy also includes provisions to monitor those programs and their effects. “Everybody needs to be aware of making healthy choices,” said Board

Member Douglas Dryden. “This is a lifelong lesson that can be learned in our schools.” The changes are updates to a previous policy, which focused only on nutrition and physical activity, said Tamara Mills, director of health programs at Worcester schools. “The state and the federal regs have noticed that there are a lot more people involved in students’ health than just the phys ed teachers and food services,” she said. Because the schools already had such a policy in place, the changes will be subtle, she said. “It’s not going to be major differences in terms of the way things are now.” Under the new guidelines, schools will promote healthy eating by following the Healthy, Hungry Free Kids Act of 2010.

“This will help to guide us in terms of what we serve to students in the cafeteria, what we sell (and) the ingredients in our food,” Mills said. The schools will also focus on nutritional education programs in both health and science classes, she said, and the new regulations shrink schools’ ability to advertise junk food on campus. Another policy focus is physical activity and education. The new rules aim to raise active time in the gym to at least 60 percent with the remainder allotted for health classes, for example, Mills said. The schools will work to better promote activities outside of class that focus on health, such as ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) and Jump Rope for Heart. To ensure the updated policy is effective, the schools will create an action plan See COUNTY Page 9

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Accusations of interference from City Hall seem to have stymied city officials’ desire to exercise eminent domain to acquire the property on 64th Street it needs for a new municipal boat ramp. It also has left Robert Kirchiro, who owns the mostly submerged or unbuildable lots in the wetlands behind Dead Freddie’s, wondering if he’s the victim of a City Hall-inspired plan to prevent him from getting his asking price. Although the City Council on Monday passed the final reading of an ordinance that would allow it to take Kirchiro’s property via condemnation proceedings, some officials suggested they would rather drop the deal altogether given the complaints. “I say we just let him keep it and move on,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. Of the 32 parcels Kirchiro owns, five of them are critical to the boat ramp project. To build a ramp of the size city officials want, parts of the facility would have to encroach on those lots, thereby necessitating either an easement granted to the city, an outright purchase or condemnation. When the city first approached Kirchiro about the property, he expressed a desire for some type of public-private partnership arrangement that would allow him to retain ownership of boat slips or a bait shop to be built in conjunction with the ramp – something the city is reluctant to get involved in, given the difficulties with environmental permitting. Meanwhile, Kirchiro’s last proposed sale price to the city was around $180,000 – he paid his grandfather’s estate slightly more than $200,000 in 2007 – but the city has apparently indicated that it would pay no more than $20,000, or See ROLE Page 3

Continued from Page 1 roughly twice the land’s assessed value. But Kirchiro says his price to the city is validated by virtue of negotiations with the adjacent property owner, Steve Carullo, of Dead Freddie’s. That is, at least, until recently, according to Kirchiro. He said that he and Carullo were near an agreement for a sale in that range, but that local developer and Ocean City Planning Commissioner Peck Miller, Carullo’s Realtor, used inside information and the city’s condemnation threat to drive down the price. “He knows all the details of my private business,” Kirchiro told the council Monday night. “That’s not right. I was told I was to be negotiating (the city’s deal) with Mr. Ayres [City Solicitor Guy Ayres].” To back up his assertion, Kirchiro provided this newspaper with a message that he said came from Carullo that said Carullo “got word from a good source that the boat slip will not happen.” The message also said Carullo was being advised by the city that he could lower his current offer of $100,000, given the pressure of condemnation, but that he was personally still willing to do it because he “is a man of his word.” “This is more than a fair compro-

mise and against my attorneys, Pecks & the citys advice[.] two of these people make money if the deal closes & still are advising me it’s a terrible deal [sic],” the message said. Miller acknowledged that he has been attempting to acquire the property on his client’s behalf, but denied that any of his actions were unethical. “Everything I did, I did as a Realtor. I’m allowed to call and ask questions, same as anyone else,” he said.

‘Everything I did, I did as a Realtor. I’m allowed to call and ask questions, same as anyone else.’ Peck Miller local developer and Ocean City Planning Commissioner Why the property would be worth more to Carullo than its assessed value, or the city’s $20,000 offer, is because the substantial increase in his overall property that the acquisition would produce would be counted in any building density equation: the more land that surrounds a building and its accessory uses, the bigger those things can be. “Being on the Planning and Zoning Commission, I knew there were development rights that would come with that property, but they would

have to be used by the adjacent property owners only,” Miller said. “I did talk to Guy about what the deal was with the city,” Miller said. “I wanted to know, if Steve bought the property, would the city still want to negotiate with him for the easement for the boat ramp.” But Miller said he was not involved in any collusion with the city in securing a better deal. “As far as any insider information, no,” Miller said. “My job is to get as much information as possible for my client. But it was pretty obvious what was going on – most of my information on the deal came from the newspaper.” Ayres also said that Miller was never being used to acquire the property in a way that was more advantageous to the city. “A condemnation is against the current owner of the property, regardless,” Ayres said. “If it were sold, it would be sold subject to the agreement negotiated with the previous owner, or it would be condemned under the new owner.” The purchase of the contested property by Dead Freddie’s, however, could work out more favorably for the city than would a condemnation proceeding against Kirchiro and his partner, Matin Maghsoudzadeh.

Sale disparity of submerged land irks owner Continued from Page 3 gotiate for an easement with an owner who is less interested in the land than he is in the additional development rights it would give him or the higher traffic and potential boost in business a ramp would generate. Miller said it is that latter that has prompted his client to attempt to buy the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him, those [development rights] have no value,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him, it was to get the boat ramp in sooner rather than later and have increased traffic back on 64th Street.â&#x20AC;? The disparity between Kirchiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking price and the lotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assessed value comes down to the worth of the property to any prospective buyer versus a particular buyer. On the open market for a sale in general, the 64th Street stretch of land has ex-

tremely limited value, but that would not be the case for an adjacent property owner because of the development rights. Kirchiro also knows what he paid for the property and how it was assessed when he bought it from his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to get out of it for what I got in it, but when Mr. Miller got involved, the price suddenly dropped.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Robert Kirchiro Property Owner His grandfather acquired the property in the early 1960s, back when it was almost routine to drain and fill in acres off wetlands to make them into buildable lots. Entire neighborhoods in Ocean City were created that way.

$100,000, a valuation that Kirchiro and Maghsoudzadeh petitioned to have lowered to the current $10,000, given its limited market appeal. However, Kirchiro and Maghsoudzadeh contend that the assessed value of the land in its current condi-

tion is of no consequence, and is instead worth what it could be used for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a boat ramp, you need underwater property. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply and demand,â&#x20AC;? Maghsoudzadeh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to get out of it for what I got in it, but when Mr. Miller got involved, the price suddenly dropped,â&#x20AC;? Kirchiro said. The city has state funding to construct a $4 million public boat launch at the site, which will relieve pressure on the overburdened public boat ramp in the Little Salisbury neighborhood, where traffic backups and parking issues are common. Dead Freddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently pays Kirchiro $5,000 annually to rent part of their property used as outside dining for the restaurant, but has indicated it is no longer profitable for him to do so if a sale is not made.

City official, drunk on the job, suspended Intoxication just another headache for company’s costly approval process By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Despite being up and running, the Ocean City Brewing Company will be appearing before the City Council again in two weeks to try to improve its situation – with at least one major wrench thrown into an already contested process. After having paid $32,299.40 in permitting and inspection fees to the city, the brewery was given its final certificate of occupancy inspection on Friday, June 6, by a city official who was alleged to have been intoxicated. Ocean City Today has confirmed

50 Save up to

that an official, who will remain unnamed, has been suspended for returning to City Hall drunk on the day of the CO inspection. The city does not typically disclose personnel issues, but in the current case, the incident stands to further aggravate the brewing company’s long-standing assertion that the city’s Byzantine zoning and building fee structure is a impediment to sustainable business growth. “It’s not just the drunk inspector, it’s the layers and layers of restrictions they’ve put us through,” said brewery owner Josh Shores. “They’re almost impossible to figure out even if you’re sober.” The brewery was issued a citation last week for violating one of the operating conditions issued to it by the City Council, which stipulates that

the facility cannot store spent grain malt outside after brewing. “My understanding is that the city manager came by and saw that we had moved our waste trailer outside for the farmer to come pick up,” Shores said. “The conditional use says we can’t store spent grain outside, but we have to bring it out of the building to get it hauled away. These restrictions that have been put on us are so vague, it’s just a matter of interpretation.” City Manager David Recor did not respond to requests for comment on either the citations or the allegedly drunken inspection. However, Recor did take time at Monday night’s council meeting to reassure officials that the brewery was operating legally until its case could be heard at the July 7 session.

“They have filed an amendment to revise two of the conditions, and that has already been heard by the planning board and will come to you shortly,” Recor said. “I believe there have been citations issued, but they do have a certificate of occupancy to operate in the building under the original conditions of approval.” Although it is a so-called “conditional use,” which allows the commission and council to place restrictions on the operation to protect the surrounding neighborhood, brewing is a permitted activity in the “local commercial” or LC-1 zoning district that overlays the area. But the conditions of approval handed down by the council earlier this year included a moratorium on having grain storage external to the current building, quashing the brewery’s plans to have a 30-foot silo placed in the parking lot. The council also prohibited any expansion to include canning or bottling. The company returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission briefly thereafter to make the case that using a silo instead of bagged grain, and canning on-site rather than shipping beer out, would actually lower the brewery’s impact on neighborhood aesthetics and traffic. The company argued, and the commission seemed to agree, that any objection by its neighbors re-

COUNTY BRIEFS

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during their Tuesday, June 3, meeting. Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw was absent from the meeting.

OC Downtown park The commissioners voted to move forward in the process of deeding the county property between Third Street and Fourth streets in Ocean City to that town. Ocean City wants to make $3 million in improvements to the property, but wants it transferred. In 2007, Ocean City retained a planning consultant to develop a master plan for the park and construction documents for the skate park and improvements to the block between St. Louis Avenue and the Chicago Avenue boardwalk.

In a Feb. 25 letter to the county commissioners, Mayor Rick Meehan wrote that Ocean City “requests that the County deed the land to the Town on the same basis that the Town deeded land to the County for the library at 100th Street and the Senior Center at 41st Street, with the condition that if the land is not used for recreational purposes, it reverts back to the County.” The deed does contain a reverter clause, so that the property shall remain in use for public recreational purposes or it will be returned to the county.

Taylors Landing The commissioners awarded the contract for the reconstruction and shoreline stabilization of the Taylor’s Landing boat ramp to Somerset Paving and Marine of Crisfield for its low bid of $197,755. The company has worked on several bridge projects for Worcester County and

is finishing the reconstruction of the Shell Mill boat ramp. Funding is available from a combination of Department of Natural Resources Waterway Improvement Funds of approximately $105,000 and an additional $50,000 which was designated for resurfacing the parking lot along with recent additions in the amount of $99,000 from the county designated fund balance totaling approximately $254,000 to complete the project.

Shockley contract The commissioners approved the storm water management review contract between them and Shockley Environmental Services. Bobby Shockley has performed these services for several years and on behalf of the Worcester County Soil Conservation District for many years before that.

Liquor Control budget

Life’s Milestones Deserve Stunning Smiles

The commissioners gave conceptual approval for the $13.1 million fiscal year 2015 budget for the Department of Liquor Control. That amount is $2.47 million or 15.78 percent less that the current fiscal year 2014 budget of $15.66 million. The largest expenditure, the cost of goods sold, is budgeted at $9.7 million. Revenue from wholesale sales is budgeted at $8 million and revenue from retail sales is budgeted at $5.1 million.

The revenue from wholesale sales is estimated to decrease $2.6 million or 24.83 percent in fiscal year 2015 because licensees may purchase spirits from wholesalers instead of from the county starting July 1. Revenue from retail sales is estimated to increase $170,400 or 3.39 percent from $5.019 million $5.19 million. The figures could change slightly when the commissioners adopt the department’s budget during their June 17 meeting. The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during their Tuesday, June 17, meeting.

Rec center addition The commissioners approved the request of Recreation and Parks Director Paige Hurley to solicit bids for the proposed addition to the Worcester County Recreation Center in Snow Hill. The 6,300-square-foot addition would include rooms for exercise equipment, exercise classes, after-school programs, conferences and meetings, lockers, storage, laundry and utilities. The exterior appearance and interior finishes would mimic the existing building scheme. Project funding of $728,996 is included in the Recreation Department budget. After the project is completed, the department would be reimbursed for 90 percent of the costs from the state through Program Open Space.

The commissioners approved the Emergency Solutions Grant Agreement at the request of budget accountant Kim Watts. Worcester County is seeking $65,000 from the Department of Housing and Community Development, which provides funds to prevent homelessness and to help improve the quality of existing emergency and transitional shelters for the homeless. The funds will be used to support homeless assistance. Diakonia, the crisis shelter in West Ocean City, would get $35,000 and the Samaritan Shelter in Pocomoke would get $30,000.

Bonita Drive signs The commissioners approved the recommendation of Public Works Director John Tustin to reinstall “No Parking” signs on one side along Bonita Drive in West Ocean City for safety reasons. They had agreed to post such signs in June 1990, but the signs disappeared during various construction projects, such as Dough Roller and Hooters, in the area. Vehicles that have been parked along Bonita Drive have obstructed views for vehicles exiting Hooters parking lot.

There will also be some exceptions, such as for students whose parents bring in treats on their birthdays, she said. “There are changes that we have to make,” Mills said. The updates come in the wake of other health programs, such as a pilot project to implement health literacy education into the daily curriculum of second grade students at Ocean City Elementary School. “I’m pleased to see this policy coming forward,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson. “I know that it’s inconvenient at times, but I also believe it is the right thing to do.” He will be charged with developing procedures to meet the new policy’s standards.

Despite efforts, second drowning recorded OCBP, other emergency first responders try valiantly to save life of 17-year-old boy

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Despite valiant efforts by members of the Ocean City Beach Patrol and other emergency personnel, a 17-year-old boy drowned last Friday afternoon in the area of 92nd Street. It was the second drowning in the ocean in less than two weeks. In both cases, lifeguards were on duty. “We don’t have on-duty drownings very often,” Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said Monday. The last drowning when guards were on duty was about five years ago. Such drownings almost always have a couple of things in common, Arbin said. “We can’t control the ocean conditions or the swimming ability of victims,” he said. Lifeguards cannot tell if someone knows how to swim by seeing them standing in the ocean. Last Friday, the lifeguard saw the boy in the ocean and saw him go under when a large wave went over him. He did not resurface. The attempt to rescue the boy, who was from the Baltimore area, included approximately 30 rescue swimmers

from the Ocean City Beach Patrol and Ocean City Fire Department. Also assisting were members of the Ocean City Police Department, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Aviation Di-

vision of Maryland State Police. A single engine aircraft participating in the OC Air Show also offered assistance in the air during the search. The victim was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was pro-

nounced dead. In some cases, people who are nonswimmers can be trying to stay in waist-deep water, but a large wave can come in, causing their bodies to See OCBP Page 12

OCBP valiantly tries to rescue 17-year-old Continued from Page 10 go up. “They lose contact with the ground, they lose their footing and the water starts going back out. Now the people are starting to be pulled away from shore,” Arbin said. For a swimmer, the experience of being pulled out into the ocean can be startling, but for a non-swimmer, it is worse. “A non-swimmer finds himself in a panic situation,” Arbin said. Because of their lack of swimming ability, they have no effective way of saving themselves, he said. “Most drownings in the ocean occur because people end up in water over their heads and they never intended to be in that situation,” Arbin said. Such was the case in the drowning

of Don Pen Soh Boma, 18, of Burtonsville in the ocean near 137th Street. Boma, a non-swimmer, was standing in the water with two friends, who were also non-swimmers. A large wave crashed and they began struggling. The lifeguard blew his whistle and immediately ran into the ocean, where he saved Boma’s friends, who said they couldn’t find Boma. Other lifeguards and rescue swimmers from the Ocean City Fire Department joined the search. They located Boma and paramedics, who had been standing by, began CPR, but Boma was pronounced dead later at Atlantic General Hospital. According to www.gazette.net, Paint Branch High School Principal Dr. Myriam Rogers said future graduating seniors at Boma’s high school

will be warned of the dangers of rip currents so they will be aware of the phenomenon should they visit Ocean City. Originally from Cameroon, Boma graduated last year from Paint Branch High School where he was an honor student. He took classes at Montgomery College and planned to transfer to Towson University to study computer engineering. One of those friends told www.gazette.net that Boma led their group in prayer before starting their trip to Ocean City. A fund to help Boma’s family in Cameroon has been set up at http://www.gofundme.com/9un5c0. More than $5,000 has been raised. Help of another kind is offered to lifeguards when a person drowns or dies in some other tragedy on their

watch. “We do the original counseling of our people,” Arbin said. Some of that counseling involves going over the situation and seeing what the lifeguard could have done differently. Lifeguards do what they are trained to do and “there’s nothing they could have done differently,” Arbin said. For example, a lifeguard cannot tell a person to stay out of the ocean because he cannot tell just by looking at him on the beach whether that person will get into difficulty in the water. They cannot tell a swimmer from a non-swimmer just by seeing them on the beach, standing at the edge of the water or standing in waist-deep water. Lifeguards are also offered counseling from a crisis team and they are offered time off if they want it. Counseling in one of the cases also included a walk on the Boardwalk and an ice cream cone. To reduce the need for counseling lifeguards, to prevent injuries and to save lives, the Ocean City Beach Patrol reminds beachgoers to check in with the lifeguard on duty every time they go to the beach. The lifeguard informs beachgoers of current conditions, including signs of inclement weather, rip currents and dangerous shore breaks, in their area of the beach.

The Board approved its fiscal year 2015 operating budget, which includes salary raises for eligible employees and bus contractors and backing for major school construction projects and technology upgrades. The budget includes a salary step increase for some employees, a longevity step increase and a .5 percent cost-of-living adjustment. Bus contractors will see a 3 percent raise in their salaries in the new fiscal year. In addition, the new budget allots $354,000 to replace gymnasium floors at Pocomoke and Snow Hill middle schools and Berlin Intermediate School and $144,000 to replace the gym bleachers at Stephen Decatur High School. It includes a one-time allowance of $200,000 for technology. While the technology budget is down $100,000 from last year, the FY15 budget sets aside nearly $500,000 for construction as Snow Hill High School and Showell Elementary Schools undergo major upgrades. The budget reflects input from the county’s 14 public schools, which

named competitive salaries for teachers and funding for new technology their top priorities at the 2014-2015 public budget input meeting last year. It was revised to reflect the funding amounts approved by Worcester County, including of a .5 percent costof-living adjustment instead of the requested 1 percent; a .5 percent reduction in the requested increase for bus contractors; and an 8 percent increase in insurance rates, as opposed to the 12 percent estimate provided by the county in March. Over $1,000,000 in FY14 budget savings were repurposed in the FY15 budget. See the budget at http://bit.ly/1pJ5bmO.

Facilities Master Plan The board is required each July 1 to submit an updated Educational Facilities Master Plan to the Maryland Department of Planning and approved forwarding its 2014-2015 plan Tuesday. Challenges facing the schools in the near future include potential population growth, aging facilities, shifting program requirements and a stronger reliance on technology, the master plan reads. To meet those challenges, the plan addresses the need for additional classrooms; continued renovations Continued on Page 16

Construction continues at Snow Hill High School, where about 50 workers have laid the foundations and footings for the new commons area; laid lines in the new mechanical, band and choir rooms; added concrete slabs in the kitchen, cafeteria and mechanical room; and raised steel in the kitchen and cafeteria over the last 30 days. Though snow delayed this project this winter, Oak Contracting has made up for some of the lost time. “It’s incredible, the amount of work and progress they’re making,” Chief Operating Office Louis Taylor said. “It’s just such a quality operation so far.” Board President Bob Rothermel agreed: “It’s amazing what good weather can do.” Workers are now laying concrete

Marx new Buckingham principal Administrator heading home to school where she got her start, 21 years ago

Karen Marx

(June 20, 2014) Ocean City Elementary School’s Assistant Principal Karen Marx has been appointed principal of Buckingham Elementary School. Marx will succeed Denise Shorts who will be transferring to the Central Office as the Coordinator of Instruction for K-12 Literacy and Title I. Marx and Shorts’ new assignments will be effective July 1. With 21 years of experience as an educator, Marx, who joined the school system as a Buckingham Elementary School teacher, will return to her home school. “I am thrilled to be returning to

the school that I called ‘home’ when I started with Worcester County Public Schools,” said Marx. “I’m returning to my roots at a very exciting time in education. Along with a supportive community, Buckingham has fantastic students, staff, and parents and I look forward to embracing change and continued growth together.” Marx served as a second and third grade teacher while at BES. In 1998, she transferred to Ocean City Elementary School where she served as a third grade teacher and later as the Curriculum Resource Teacher. For the last 11 years, Marx has held the position of assistant principal. “Karen Marx possesses the experience, vision, and leadership skills to continue the vital work that is already underway at Buckingham Elementary School,” said Superintendent of

Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson. “She will continue the positive momentum around incorporating 21st century teaching and learning in each child’s education. Preparing students for college and career begins at the earliest elementary grades.” As principal of a Title I school, Marx will have the opportunity to work closely with Shorts, her predecessor. “In her capacity as the Title I Coordinator, Dee Shorts and I will have ample opportunity to work together to ensure high academic achievement, free of gaps, for each child,” said Marx. “I think the collaboration will provide continuity of effort for Buckingham Elementary.” The process of finding Marx’s replacement as assistant principal of Ocean City Elementary School is underway. “I am blessed to have worked at such an exceptional school,” said Marx. “As I anticipate rejoining my Buckingham family, it is hard to say goodbye to OCES. I believe my experiences at OCES have developed me as a leader and will always be part of who I am.”

Mathias, McDermott eye general Senator to face strong challenge from Republican delegate after primary

OCEAN CITY TODAY/JOSH DAVIS

Incumbent Democratic Senator Jim Mathias could see a close race against his Republican challenger, Delegate Mike McDermott. Mathias believes his track record in the Senate, the House and as mayor will give him the upper hand.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Four years after winning a closely contested race for the Maryland State Senate, Democratic incumbent Jim Mathias could face another stiff challenge in Republican Mike McDermott. Mathias won election to the senate in 2010 by a razor-thin margin of just 640 votes over Carousel Resort Hotel General Manager Michael James. In McDermott, the senator will face a well-organized candidate whose credits include the Maryland House of Delegates, mayor of Pocomoke City and chair of the

Worcester County state delegation. find growth in new industries.” Mathias, himself a former mayor of Mathias supported Governor O’Ocean City and member of the Mary- Malley’s veto of the moratorium on land House, had a similar background wind turbines on the Eastern Shore, when he was elected to the senate four and he spoke out against “prohibitive years ago. regulations” affectBoth candidates ing small busi‘We’re looking at taking the nesses. are running unopindustries we have now and “We’re looking at posed in the primary. taking the indusstrengthening them by getting rid Mathias believes of some of these regulations’ tries we have now the key issue in the and strengthening Democratic incumbent them by getting rid campaign will be Jim Mathias balancing agriculof some of these ture, the environregulations,” he ment and the needs of the economy. said. On jobs, the senator said he’s “We’ve been real close to recovery here on the shore, but even in good worked hard to pass the offshore wind times Worcester County has the high- bill, including amendments allowing est unemployment,” he said. “We’re businesses in Worcester County to trying to find sustainable jobs to pro- benefit. “We’re looking to really drive hard tect the industries that we have and to that offshore wind,” he said. “Pioneer Green came in and invested up to $5 million there for an industry that could bring as much as $40-$45 million dollars, and revenue to up to 200 farmers.” Mathias also supported the postLabor Day start for public schools. McDermott believes the state’s economy will be the biggest issue on voter’s minds in November. The delegate was quick to draw lines between the two parties in what could become a microcosm of the offyear election as a whole. “There are two approaches; the Democratic Party tends to focus on the ways that government can do things to make and grow the economy,” McDermott said. “The Republican side focuses on ways to get government out of the way so that the economy repairs itself. And I think that we’ve tried it their way, and their way is not working.” McDermott said he would look to the example of what other states in similar situations have done. “You have to reduce the overregulation of government,” he said. “Right now in Maryland it can take someone up to 18 months to get a poultry house permitted and start construction; it can take months for an individual who wants to operate a business in Maryland to make sure all the inspections are done and they’ve paid all their fees. And they have to put an incredible amount of money at risk up front in order to even get a business going in this state, and when you’re an entrepreneur you’ve got limited resources. “Time is money for a business, and I think that’s lost on liberal democrats,” McDermott continued. McDermott accused Democrats of increasing spending during “the worst recession we’ve ever had in Maryland,” adding that the state’s taxes were third-highest in the country in terms of their negative effect on business. “You’ve got a government that has increased spending by over $12 billion – $2.3 billion last year alone,” he said. “They increased spending about

It doesn’t take long when you run deficit spending like that to catch yourself.” Off-year elections generally mean losses for the party in power, in this case the Democrats. Maryland’s new congressional districts, adopted in October 2011, and new state legislative districts, adopted in February 2012, could also affect the political landscape. “I think that’s why they’re greatly concerned about the impact that the change has had, because the district, historically, was always Democrat,” McDermott said. McDermott believes the election could shape up to be a “great year for people who feel like government can’t get any worse” Mathias believes his track record in the senate, the house and as mayor will give him the upper hand. “We’ve been very effective, quite honestly,” he said. “Most recently we secured $50 million for the next phase of the dualization of Rt. 113. We have been able to build effective alliances and I’d say it’s led to effective results.” The senator touted his role in liberating local bar and restaurant owners from the formerly monopolistic role of the liquor dispensary system in Ocean City..

“The relationships that we’ve built as mayor of Ocean City, into the house with the house speaker and the individual members, over to the senate with my senate colleagues all the way up to the governor’s office have, I think, helped us be very effective,” Matthias continued. “We’re here to respectfully bring people together and get the job done.”

Three candidates go for votes at Dem forum Sen. Mathias, two hopefuls for U.S. House discuss key issues before OP audience

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Three candidates for two offices faced off during a Worcester Country Democrats forum on June 3. Incumbent District 38 Maryland Sen. Jim Mathias and U.S. House of Representative District 1 candidates Dr. John LaFerla and Bill Tilghman took part in the discussion held at the Ocean Pines Library. Howard Srbnick, chair of the Democratic Central Committee Worcester County, moderated. Mathias was introduced first, speaking about his time as mayor of

Ocean City and his move to the Maryland House of Delegates and eventually the Senate. He also touted the recently announced $50 million dollar expansion of U.S. Route 113. “We accomplished a lot by working together, and I’m asking you to continue to work together,” he said. “District 38 is a 38 percent performing democratic district. In life you don’t do anything alone or by yourself – you do it together. And that’s what we’ve done. I’ve had to work hard to be effective and I’ll continue to work hard.” LaFerla is running for the District 1 seat for the second time, having lost to republican Andy Harris in the general election in 2012. “Two years ago we had a democratic primary forum in this very room, and in fact (Berlin Mayor) Gee

Williams was the moderator that night,” he said. “I have to tell you; at that time he didn’t even know how to pronounce my name. Today we had a friendly lunch together. He surely knows how to pronounce my name now.” Tilghman highlighted his 40 years’ experience as a business attorney and a businessman. “I have a good sense of what it means to put people in s room together to negotiate,” he said. “I am fiscally conservative and socially very open-minded. I believe in order to dig ourselves out the hole that I feel we’re in today that we need the best of both parties to work together.” Asked about his qualifications, Mathias labeled himself as a common man. “I’m just like you,” he said. “I’m a

homeowner. I’m a taxpayer. I’m a parent. I’ve yet to be a grandparent, but I’m waiting for that phone call. I understand what the daily rigor of life is and that’s why I came to public service.” The senator highlighted his work with Rep. Norman Conway as well as with county commissioners. “It’s my responsibility to explain to (politicians in Annapolis) about the Eastern Shore in order to get the job done,” Mathias said. “We have strong relationships that we’ve built and strong relationships that will continue to provide our needs for us here on the Eastern Shore and throughout Maryland.” On economic development Mathias highlighted the new $50 million engineering and aviation building at See THREE Page 24

Three candidates debate before area voters Continued from Page 22 UMES that he appropriated, as well as the new commons currently being constructed at Salisbury University. Mathias also supported a postLabor Day start for public schools. “Beside the fact that families are going to be able to enjoy their time together we’re going to have another upwards of $75-$100 million dollars in positive economic impact for our well-established tourism industry,” he said. The senator also spoke in favor of the expanded pre-k program in the state. Mathias stressed the importance of agriculture and in protecting farmers, and addressed the issue of chicken manure on the Eastern Shore. “Our environmental friends are

concerned about runoff, and what we’ve been able to find, right now on the southern end of Route 113, there’s a private farm that is getting ready to put in a plant that will take poultry manure and convert it into energy,” he said. “I think that’s a part of our renewable energy, and certainly what that also does is protect and secure our poultry industry here on the Eastern Shore.” The senator drafted a bill on converting chicken manure to renewable energy sources. The bill passed in the senate, but was defeated in the house. “Eighteen utility lobbyists stalled and killed that bill,” he said. “I want to go back to pass that bill. Give me the opportunity to go back. Let me get that bill passed. LaFerla has been endorsed by for-

mer Maryland Governor Harry Hughes, former Indiana U.S. Senator Birch Bayh – a Talbot County resident – former U.S. House of Representatives member Wayne Gilchrist and “all of the democratic mayors of all of the towns on the Eastern Shore.” “I’ve been a doctor for over 40 years,” he said. “I have the experience of helping people make the health care system work and listening to real life problems day in and day out.” Tilghman painted himself as a skilled negotiator. “When you walk into a roomful of people on two sides of the table … what you find out is that very rarely are the interests of the people on two sides of the room diametrically opposed to each other,” he said. “We

need the best of both parties.” Asked about alternative energy sources, Tilghman spoke about the need to develop infrastructure. “Alternate energy … is worthless if not on some kind go a grid that can do something with it,” he said. “It’s really a question of infrastructure – building the grid behind the distributed facilities or sites, from solar panels on the roofs of our houses to more elaborate things.” LaFerla called for an “adult look” at the issue. “Our world is changing,” he said. “It’s time we take responsibility for the fact that human action has added to the situation with global climate change. “Our current representative wants to say this is a hoax or this is deniable,” LaFerla continued. “He’s off

The candidate supported wind turbines, particularly the Great Bay Wind Energy Center in Somerset County. LeFerla also supported alternative sources of nuclear energy, including one that uses thorium in place of uranium. When asked about health care the candidate took the opportunity to slam Andy Harris, the republican incumbent he expects to face in the general election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody in this room knows that Andy Harris and his ilk have voted against the Affordable Care Act now 52 times,â&#x20AC;? LaFerla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His votes were not saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replace it with hisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he would repeal it. He would go back to having big insurance disallow coverage. We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that.â&#x20AC;? Tilghman said the democrats were on the verge of â&#x20AC;&#x153;snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.â&#x20AC;? Polls show, said Tilghman, that Americans support the ACA. He also said health care was currently too expensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insurance companies should be able to sell across state lines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a must,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make it easier for smaller businesses to deal with the act.â&#x20AC;? On the environment Tilghman called the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;a game changer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point of the Chesapeake Bay blueprint is to return the bay to 70 percent of its natural state by 2025,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting and different about this regulation is that every two years all the states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the six states and the District of Columbia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have to report their results in every two years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good situation.â&#x20AC;? Tilghman said one in 12 jobs in the state come from the chicken industry, and called for cooperation with regulators and agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of technical possibilities that have shown good future,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turning it into methane gas, palletizing it so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more concentrated and can be trucked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are solutions for the chicken litter problem and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time that we put our minds to which of the ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to invest in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture and the poultry industry is the backbone of our life on the Eastern Shore,â&#x20AC;? LaFerla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also give credit the farmers and others who have already made strides to take action to prevent or to reduce unneeded runoff into the bay.â&#x20AC;? LaFerla said the environmental agency in Maryland has suggested a phosphorus management tool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know the blowup there because farmers feel it is unfairly targeting them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are

ways to solve this problem. We can save the industry. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make farmers go out of business.â&#x20AC;? On infrastructure, LaFerla invoked Eisenhower. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every generation needs to do its fair share,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building our infrastructure is a double-positive. Think about the project that president Eisenhower put together shortly after World War II where he established the highway system. Not only did that put people back to work and it increased our productivity across the country allowing us to have additional revenues to pay off some of the deficit from World War II, it also allowed the more rapid transmission of

goods and services across the whole United States, which is good for everybody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investing in infrastructure is not only a moral duty that we have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for our economy,â&#x20AC;? LaFerla added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get people back to work. Job number one has to be jobs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Infrastructure is actually a word for what we own in common,â&#x20AC;? Tilghman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the things that we own as a community.â&#x20AC;? Tilghman said the 18.4 cent tax on a gallon of gas, which used to pay to maintain highways, no longer covers costs. The candidate called for â&#x20AC;&#x153;small improvements every year.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letting it get out of control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letting it get big and nasty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already lost the game.â&#x20AC;? During his closing statement Tilghman said the country needs â&#x20AC;&#x153;someone who will work on an incremental level and find the steps to solve the problems.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I firmly believe that the tortoise always beats the hair,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick of the big ideas as a country. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on the small steps to get us where we need to go.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a problem solver and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not afraid of big ideas,â&#x20AC;? LaFerla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got fire in my belly and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to go up against Andy Harris.â&#x20AC;?

City, OCBP hosts leader of Rio de Janeiro lifeguards

(June 20, 2014) Ocean City welcomed a prominent guest this week, as the leader of Rio de Janeiro’s 1,500 member beach patrol made his way from the beautiful beaches of Brazil to the quaint eastern shore of Maryland. At Monday night’s Mayor and City Council meeting, Coronel Jose Maria de Andrade, who will spend the week in Ocean City observing, learning and training with the Ocean City Beach Patrol, was presented with a key to the city. Coronel Andrade arrived in Ocean City on Sunday, June 15, just in time to participate in day one of the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s final 2014 Surf Rescue Academy. Participating alongside 41 rookie Surf Rescue Technicians, Coronel Andrade will be learning all aspects of surf lifesaving. In addition, part of his time in Ocean City will include aspects of the beach patrol’s organizational structure, including the command structure, training, equipment, evaluations and interactions with other town departments and public safety agencies. “We are thrilled to host Coronel Andrade and feel extremely privileged to use our training and knowledge to improve safety on the beaches of Brazil,” said Ocean City Emergency Services Director Joseph Theobald. “Our beach patrol has assisted in establishing beach patrols in South Padre Island, Tex. and has provided technical assistance and guidance to many other surf lifesaving agencies around the world and throughout the United States. We are extremely honored to begin this partnership with Coronel Andrade and the Rio de Janeiro Beach Patrol.” The partnership between the Ocean City Beach Patrol and the Rio de Janeiro Beach Patrol was proposed last winter when OCBP alumni Mark McCleskey learned that an average of 7,148 people drown each year in Rio de Janerio, equaling nearly 179,300 deaths over the past 25 years. Knowing that drowning is one of the most preventable causes of accidental death, McCleskey believed that a partnership between the two beach patrols would result in an essential exchange of information from the Maryland coast and the beaches of Brazil. McCleskey, who currently lives in Annapolis, facilitated and financed the visit with his Brazilian business partner, Octavio Rezende Filho. “We certainly must thank Mr. McCleskey and Mr. Filho for their passion and desire to make a difference in water safety and surf lifesaving,” Theobald said. “We are hopeful that the information and training Coronel Andrade receives in Ocean City can be implemented in Rio de Janeiro to improve water safety and save lives.”

Ocean City Emergency Services Director Joseph Theobald, second from right, and Mayor Rick Meehan, right, welcome Coronel Jose Maria de Andrade, second from left, leader of Rio de Janeiro’s beach patrol. Coronel de Andrade will be observing and training with the Ocean City Beach Patrol.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR WORCESTER COUNTY SHERIFF SCHOOL SAFETY

We require our law enforcement officers to wear body armor, we issue it to our military, our politicians who are surrounded by armed security personnel wear it and yet we do not provide it to our teachers who are expected to protect our children. My priority is to keep our teachers and children alive. Cameras only record what is happening, they do not have the ability to stop bullets. We are very fortunate in Worcester County to have a company that is a leader in ballistic technology and manufactures a ballistic board that doubles as a whiteboard. This approximately 1 lb. board is capable of stopping multiple handgun and shotgun rounds and can be used as a defensive weapon. These boards would be a one time purchase and will still be protecting Worcester County students in the year 2100. We need to spend our money on what is really important, keeping our teachers and children alive. We need to put these boards in the hands of our teachers so that they will have something besides their body to shield our children. COMMUNITY POLICING

I am an old school cop. I like seeing law enforcement out of their cars and walking through communities. Citizen interaction is a vital part of communication and intelligence gathering. Getting out of the vehicles and interacting with citizens and businesses will be a daily part of patrol duties. I will work at assigning areas to deputies who will attend community functions and meet with the citizens to address their concerns. Additionally I will be out daily in the communities so that every citizen will know who the sheriff of Worcester County is. I will respond to any phone calls or other communication. If you take the time to contact me, then I have an obligation to you to respond. George Truitt for Sheriff Authority Karen Truitt Treasurer THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

I want to continue to serve as your Sheriff of Worcester County. Currently, we are living in a very safe county. I will continue to do everything I can to keep our county a safe place for you to live, work and shop. I will strive for our schools to be safe for our children, teachers, school staff and parents visiting our schools.

I have lived in the Friendship community outside of Berlin and Ocean Pines for thirty six years. A graduate of Pocomoke High School, I served my country as a United States Marine, serving two tours of duty in Vietnam (66-68). In 1970, I began my police career with the Ocean City Police Department (1970-1979). I served as a Patrolman, Detective, Corporal, Sergeant, and acting Lieutenant. I trained and was K-9 commander for seven years with there being (seven K-9 Teams). In 1979, I came to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office as a K-9 handler working five years patrolling the roads of our county. In 1984 I was appointed Chief Deputy and served twenty four years under two Sheriff’s. In 2010, I ran as a Republican Candidate for Sheriff, winning the Primary, and then the General Election, becoming only the second Republican elected to be Sheriff of Worcester County. The first Republican Sheriff was Arthur Duer 1946-1950. Being your Sheriff the past four years, I have made changes which better serve you and make you feel safe.

A. Placed more deputies in road patrol to give you a better response time to your call, and more patrols in your community. B. Assigned my command Lieutenants on a rotating basis to work nights. C. Assigned a deputy to community policing to hold meetings in our smaller communities to listen to their concerns and handle these issues. D. Deputized (10) Ocean City Police Officers assigned to narcotics to work along with our CET Team, to attack our concerns over drugs in our county. E. Placed highly trained deputies in our schools to protect our children, teachers, school staff and parents visiting our schools. Dr. Wilson, along with his staff, and my Command Staff meet once a month to discuss ways to maintain keeping our schools safe. F. Hired local women and men to fill positions vacated by deputies retiring. G. Updated improvements at our Firing Range and offer a safety course and a day of practice shooting. H. Animal Control continues improvements to better serve. Adoption continues to go very well, 241 this year. Dr. Schultz and his assistant save taxpayers when adopting by doing operations and shots in the hospital room of Animal Control. I. Schools attended: Graduated Pocomoke High School (25) Business Courses completed in Administration. Delaware Technical College (Criminal Justice) Administrative School South Carolina Graduate Police Supervisor Schools Wor Wic Technical College (Management) Graduate of Incident Command School Graduate of Sheriff’s- Executive School Graduate National Sheriff’s Institute (FBI Academy Class U11) More than (100) Police Schools attended J. Organizations: National Rifle Association (Life Member) The American Legion Post 166 Ocean City, MD Life Member of the Vietnam Veterans of American Chapter 1091, Ocean City, MD And other memberships, FOP’s, Sheriff’s Association and the Republican Party.

I am so proud of our Sheriff’s Office’s personnel. Everyone here has a very important role in the operations, including Emergency Services. Our two Task Forces include Maryland State Police, Pocomoke, Berlin, Ocean City Police Department, Home Land Security, DEA, Virginia State Police and the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office. Helping and working with other police agencies in other counties and state borders continue to keep us safe. I will continue to use other agencies and whatever resources we need.

Police capture wanted burglary suspect in Berlin

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Police captured a wanted suspect near Ocean Pines last Tuesday afternoon. The suspect was one of three people believed to be responsible for a May 25 burglary on Bay Street in Berlin. Two were charged but one, Orion Christopher Conway, 24, of Berlin, had avoided apprehension until Tuesday. At about 1 p.m. that day, Maryland State Police, in conjunction with federal authorities, tried to apprehend Conway after he was seen around the Ocean Pines library and the Sports Core pool. He ran into the nearby woods. Police utilized the state police helicopter and K-9 teams during the search. Maryland State Police asked that anyone noticing a man acting in a suspicious nature in and about the Ocean Pines and Showell area to contact them. They issued a press release stating he was wearing a short-sleeved Tshirt, tan shorts and carrying a backpack. Three people carrying backpacks had been seen sitting on the grass near the Sports Core pool. Shortly thereafter, the search began. Conway was eventually tackled and taken into custody by the Maryland State Apprehension Team in a grassy area at Pennington Commons. During the arrest, Conway reportedly assaulted a law enforcement officer, but the officer was not injured. On June 6, Berlin police went to a William Street residence at about 10.35 p.m. because of a report of a domestic dispute, but they found no evidence of a dispute. About one hour later, they received a call saying that Conway was at that residence. Police made contact with Conway, but he evaded officers and fled the area. Although Berlin police, assisted by Maryland State Police and its Aviation Unit and the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, searched for him for two hours, they were unable to locate him. While at the William Street address, police arrested Amanda Sinclair on an outstanding warrant for theft from $10,000 to less than $100,000 and conspiracy commit second-degree burglary. The charges for Sinclair and Conway stem from a May 25 burglary at a Bay Street residence. Joseph Emm, another suspect in that incident, was charged May 30 with second-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property valued at more than $1,000, theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000 and conspiracy to commit second-degree burglary. Conway was charged Tuesday with those same offenses plus second-degree assault and theft from $10,000 to $100,000. Investigators ask the public to check their belongings and outdoor equipment to see if any of their items have been stolen.

Five arrested in OC downtown area Washington, D.C. The officer who had found the SUV called its owner, who confirmed it was stolen. While he was standing by the vehicle, a nearby resident exited her house to talk to him. She said her laptop computer was missing. The officer told her to check to see if anything else was missing or if anything seemed disturbed. About 45 minutes after the suspicious people looking into windows were reported to the public safety aide, Bussey, Burton and Mercer were arrested. The woman who had been in the driver’s seat, Heather Anne Haire, was located near 20th Street and arrested. The woman who had returned to her residence to check for additional missing items reported to police that she was missing a laptop, prescription sunglasses, a back pack, an IPod shuffle, blue headphones, a Game of Thrones book, an Amazon Kindle, headphones and a fruit-flavored lip balm. She told police that the residence had been unlocked. The woman’s parents returned to the house, checked for missing items and told police they were missing a watch and several bottles of liquor. The watch was later found in Bussey’s pocket, according to the charging document. The backpack was found on Burton. Inside

were the missing headphones. During the booking process at police headquarters, personnel there found a brown leather wallet with identification for Joshua Bryon Robinson-Gripper, 22, of Washington, D.C. Other officers had remained at the scene and while there, a nearby resident told them his house was missing two computers, two Vera Bradley bags and a large amount of jewelry. The man also said his house had been unlocked. At about 6:40 p.m., police were dispatched to a hotel for a report of a stolen Honda. At 9 p.m., they learned that Maryland State Police and the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Officer were pursuing the stolen Honda. The chase ended when the driver crashed the vehicle. The driver was identified as Robinson-Gripper, whose driver’s license had been found in the backpack. An Ocean City police officer went to Wicomico County to process the stolen vehicle. Inside, the officer found several pieces of jewelry, two Vera Bradley bags and two computers. Burton, Mercer, Busser, Haire and Robinson-Gripper were charged with theft from $1,000 to $10,000, two counts of each of theft from $10,000 to less than $100,000 and first- and third-degree burglary.

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Five people are facing criminal charges after allegedly burglarizing two residences near 15th Street on Sunday. At about 1:30 p.m., a man told a public safety aide that he had seen two men covering their faces while looking into windows of houses in the area. He thought they might be “casing” them and he noted that they were in a white SUV. A police officer quickly found the SUV parked in front of a nearby house. A woman sat in the driver’s seat. The officer made eye contact with her and then drove around the area, through an alley and returned to the site. The woman was no longer sitting in the vehicle. A computer check of the vehicle’s registration revealed the tag belonged on a different SUV. A further check revealed the vehicle had been stolen in Montgomery County. Another police officer had seen a man and two women exit the SUV and walk away. He spoke to them briefly and they continued walking. After it was learned that the SUV was stolen, three police officers stopped the three people who had been walking away. They were identified as Christopher Howard Bussey, 25; Dominique Alexis Burton, 19, and Shinecia Doloris Mercer, 19, all of

Ocean City Brewing Company on 55th Street serves a selection of 24 craft beers and full lunch and dinner menu seven days a week.

New Ocean City Brewing Company offers craft beers

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The back of Josh Shores’ business card reads, “We do it dif’rent” and his new Ocean City Brewing Company is living up to the claim. The city’s newest brewery opened for business June 7 and has been pouring craft drafts from across the country and its first local homebrews on 55th Street since. “I wanted to put Ocean City on the map as far as craft brewing,” Shores said. “I was born here and raised here and wanted to bring new brew here.” As he put it, drinking local beer provides “something with a little more meaningful” for visitors and locals. From the “Beer 101” chart on the wall, which shows the brewing process from milling and mashing to the time beer is poured into the glass, to the Oktoberfest-style long tables where visitors can enjoy craft beer from names like Burley Oak, Heavy Seas and Abita, the goal is a create an atmosphere for socializing, Shores said. “We want people to meet people.” The brewery also dishes up lunch and dinner every day and provides a family-friendly place to grab a bite. Beyond the restaurant, though,

there is a large brewing operation out back run under the hand of Brewmaster Mark Fesche. After months-long battles with the city, the brewery is up and running and able to produce eight different beers at once, Fesche said. The plan is to eventually fill all 24 OC Brewing Company taps with its own beers, which “we’ll release one-ata-time as they become ready,” he said. The inaugural beer, Route 50 Pale Ale, took to the taps last Friday and the brewing company just introduced its Gold Digger raspberry pale ale this week.

Other brews in the works include Alrighty Then, a watermelon wheat beer that will have brewery employees cutting 500 pounds of fresh watermelon; Lost Souls traditional Irish stout; and Dragon’s Moon, a refreshing, light Belgian wheat beer. “We’re trying to create a large selection to appeal to everyone’s taste,” Shores said. “We’re going to keep creating new things.” When the brewery is operating at full capacity, it should produce approximately 90 barrels a week, he said.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 20, 2014) Many sellers ask their real estate agent for advice on what will make their home sell quick for the most amount of money. While the process of selling your home has many marketing facets, there is one area that can help make a big difference for buyers, and it doesn’t usually cost sellers any additional money—it’s information. Buyers want to be supplied with as much information on their estimated expenses when buying a new home, as well as any documents that can help understand more about the home and/or save on closing costs. This is information a seller can provide free of charge in most cases. When getting ready to sell your home, compile a list of the following: One year utility history including electric and gas bills. Copy of an existing survey. Copy of an existing elevation certificate that allows the buyer to obtain a new flood quote. Copies of existing insurance policies—even if they are not assumable, it can help to provide the buyer with an idea of estimated annual expenses or give them a starting point of who to call to obtain their own policies. Copy of any annual service contracts you may maintain such as pest/termite, HVAC, etc. Copy of a title insurance policy that may be able to provide the buyer with a discounted rate on their title insurance at settlement. In addition, a detailed list of improvements can help sway buyers. This is something that can be provided on a flyer that is kept at the house for serious buyers who preview your home. This can include recent improvements, age of appliances, age of roof, age of mechanicals, any energy efficient items, upgraded wiring or security systems, crawl space work that minimizes moisture, etc. All of this additional info can help make the difference in a buyer choosing your home over another.

Workers are in the process of constructing a skateboard bowl, vertical ramp, and a BMX park, along with the rest of the venue that will contain the “Dew Tour Experience” booths, activities and concert stage on the beach, adjacent to the Boardwalk, just north of the pier in downtown Ocean City.

Dew Tour Beach Championships return to OC June 25-29, event includes skateboarding, BMX, surf competition and concerts

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 20, 2014) The countdown to Dew Tour action has begun as workers this week started constructing a skateboard bowl, vertical ramp, and a BMX park, along with the rest of the venue that will contain the “Dew Tour Experience” booths, activities and concert stage. “They’re starting to put everything in place. To see how they erect a stadium like that in such a short amount of time is incredible,” said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan. “[Dew Tour] has become one of our signature events. A lot of people are looking forward to it…Many people plan their vacations around when Dew Tour will be here.” The Dew Tour Beach Championships, scheduled June 25-29, will take place on the beach, adjacent to the Boardwalk, just north of the pier in downtown Ocean City. “When we set out to find a ‘beach’ locale for the Dew Tour, everything came together in Ocean City. The relationships we have with the mayor’s office, city council and all the city departments help bring to life what has become our biggest single event to

date, with record attendance,” said Eric Grilly, president of Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group. “We also love fitting into the overall cultural landscape of Ocean City, utilizing the natural environment to incorporate events like surf, skateboard bowl and the skate shop battle: city vs. city, which draws competitors from across the region, into the competition.” This is the fourth year the Dew Tour will host competitions in the resort. During its Ocean City debut in 2011, the Pantech Open set a Dew Tour attendance record by drawing approximately 73,000 fans during its four-day run in the resort, July 2124— its first beachfront venue. That record was broken in 2012 as an estimated 93,000 spectators came out to the beach for the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships, Aug. 16-19. The Dew Tour, with its world-class athletes, returned to Ocean City for the third year in 2013, and again, a new attendance record was set. Over the course of five days, June 19-23, an estimated 103,000 fans attended the Dew Tour Beach Championships. It was the first time the Dew Tour hosted more than 100,000 attendees at a single event. “We are thrilled to welcome the Dew Tour back in Ocean City for their inaugural 10th anniversary event,”

said Jessica Waters, Ocean City’s communications manager. “Last year, the Beach Championships in Ocean City brought record-breaking crowds and I believe there is no better place for extreme sports fans to celebrate the last decade of the Dew Tour than the beautiful beach and Boardwalk in Ocean City.” When asked if he is looking forward to bringing the Dew Tour back to Ocean City, Grilly said “absolutely.” “[This year] marks the 10th anniversary of the Dew Tour, so it’s a very exciting year overall for us, and we love the thought of kicking it off in Ocean City…After the success of our first three events in Ocean City, it was a natural decision for us to return for 2014,” he said. “Last year in Ocean City we saw our highest attended event in Dew Tour history with more than 103,000 people and are hoping to sustain the excitement coming into 2014.” Events scheduled for Ocean City Beach Championships include Skate Vert, Bowl and Street Session, BMX Park, Vert and Street Session, Shop Battle: City vs. City and Surf Shop Showdown. “This is the first year we’ve updated our concrete bowl, so fans have the chance to experience the first time the athletes ride the new set-up and create their new runs,” Grilly said. “With

the best names in the sports confirmed for the Dew Tour, crowd favorites like vert and BMX park are sure to astound once again…” In addition to the competitions, the Dew Tour will feature free live concerts on the beach starting next Friday night with Cage the Elephant, a rock brand from Bowling Green, Ky. best known for its singles “Shake Me Down” and “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked.” Opening for Cage the Elephant will be SKATERS. DJ-producer GRiZ will headline the June 28 concert on the beach, with opening act heRobust. “For five days, we’re taking over the beach just north of the pier. The Dew Tour is a great family-friendly event, with free general admission, and plenty to experience – you get the chance to watch inspiring athletes compete at the top level of their sport, and in our Dew Tour Experience, you also have the opportunity to meet them and get autographs, as well as play games, win great prizes and interact with our partner brands,” Grilly said. “Add in our evening events – a surf competition, and live concerts Friday and Saturday – and you can find something for everyone at the Beach Championships.” Waters said she is “extremely excited” about the Dew Tour returning See WORLD-CLASS Page 39

World-class athletes to perform in resort Continued from Page 38 to Ocean City. “I have never participated in extreme sports myself, but I must admit, something about the energy of watching the BMX and skateboarding athletes compete that instantly makes you a fan of the sport,” she said. “Not to mention, watching the exciting competitions unfold with a backdrop like the Ocean City beach and Boardwalk makes the thrill of the event even more exciting.” With two small children and a young nephew, who skateboards, Wa-

ters said she plans on attending many competitions. “The Dew Tour is really a family event and not only do the kids enjoy the excitement but the parents get really into the event as well,” she said. “There is an energy about the Dew Tour Beach competitions that is hard to explain unless you have experienced it before…it’s invigorating, exciting and always a memorable event for our residents and visitors.” Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, is also looking for-

ward to the return of the Dew Tour. “Having two teenage daughters, I’m sure we will make it down to see the action,” she said. Meehan also plans on watching several competitions. “I enjoy going. They’re world-class athletes and it’s amazing what they can do,” he said. The Dew Tour Beach Championships is a free event and open to the public.

Ocean Bowl Skate Park hosts Ocean Bowl Bash, Tues.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The Ocean Bowl Skate Park will kick off the Ocean City Dew Tour with its fourth annual Ocean Bowl Bash Tuesday, June 24. The party starts at 2 p.m. at the skate park on St. Louis Avenue on Third Street and continues until dark with free skate, informal skate contests, live music and local shops and industry sponsors selling their merchandise. “It’s just a fun day. That’s all it is,” said the skate park’s manager Dave Messick. “You don’t have to skateboard. You can come hang out in the field.” Skate contests will take place throughout the afternoon with a loose setup, though the Ocean Bowl is a mostly a free-skate event, Messick said. Some contests include the best trick and longest grind. Local shops and industry sponsors including Quiet Storm, K-Coast, Sector Nine, Dimensions, Swirled World, Lucky Surf Shop and Ish Boutique will also be selling merchandise. Live music starts at 5 p.m. by Whiff-Wall Ride Records, Chuck Treece with Ultimate Robot DJ, Hot Sauce Sandwich, Gaffney Bros, Funk Shue and Hooplas. Concessions will be for sale, including, fresh-squeezed drinks by Crazy 8’s. The event formed four years ago around Grind for Life, an organization that provides financial assistance to cancer patients traveling long distances to see doctors. The organization was founded in 2003 by professional skateboarder Mike Rogers after his second battle with sarcoma cancer. Rogers will have his own interactive booth at the park, giving away items and selling skateboards while he raises awareness about Grind for Life. “He’s a cancer survivor and a skateboarder and he goes around spreading the word about it,” Messick said. Last year, thousands made their way to the Dew Tour kickoff party, held at the world’s oldest skate park run by a municipality, Messick said. “It’s nice to be able to do something for the Dew Tour,” he said. The Ocean Bowl Bash is free for participants and spectators and is open to the public. All skaters under 18 must have a liability waive signed by a parent or guardian to participate. Limited street parking will be available so the public should consider taking public transit. Call the Ocean Bowl Skate Park at 410-289- 2695 for more information. The Dew Tour returns for its fourth year on Ocean City’s beach June 2529 and features skateboard and BMX events over the five days. Visit www.dewtouroc.com for more information.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 20, 2014) Aaron Wyatt, a local, professional overseas basketball player, will conduct a basketball training camp this summer for young athletes ages 13-18. “I work with kids a lot, with local clubs in the area, when I’m overseas,” Wyatt said. “I want to help kids get to where I am at, or further. I want to help them get to the next level.” The camp, held in the Ocean Pines Recreation Department gymnasium, will focus on skill development, agility and fundamental conditioning training. “It is a skills development camp. If you want to get better at basketball, this is the camp for you,” Wyatt said. “I can’t wait. I have so much stuff planned for [athletes]. It’s going to be fun.” The camp will be offered Monday through Thursday. The first training session is scheduled for June 23-26. Other camp dates are: July 7-10, July 21-24, Aug. 4-7 and Aug. 18-21. Players ages 13-15 will train from 5:45-7:15

The two have been working together for several years. “He knows what he is talking about. He has the same vision as me,” Wyatt said of Jarmon. “We both hope to leave a lasting impression on [the young athletes], not only for basketball,” Jarmon said. “We hope they learn that if they want to get better at something, it takes time, effort and sacrifice. I hope we’re able to give them that push they need.” The cost is $100 for Ocean Pines residents, $110 for non-residents. There is a $10 sibling discount. A $10 discount is also offered to those participating in multiple training sessions. For more information, call the Ocean Pines Recreation & Parks Department at 410-641-7052.

Annual Seahawk Summer Basketball Camp next week Training session open to young male and female athletes in grades 3-12

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 20, 2014) The Stephen Decatur High School boys’ basketball program will present the fifth annual Seahawk Summer Basketball Camp, June 23-26. Byron “BJ” Johnson, the school’s varsity basketball head coach, is accepting registration. The coed camp is open to children in grades 3-12 and will Coach Johnson take place Monday through Thursday. Campers in grades 3-8 will practice from 9 a.m. to noon at the Berlin high school. Participants in grades 9-12 will have their training session from 1-4 p.m. Athletes will receive a T-shirt, basketball and individual and team lessons. They will also participate in contests and two-on-two, three-onthree and five-on-five competitions. The camp focuses on fundamentals and development, ability and age grouping and post and perimeter development. Participants are encouraged to bring their own drink and to wear comfortable playing shoes. Basketballs will be provided. Johnson, the 2013-14 Bayside Conference South Coach of the Year, has 26 years of coaching experience with a number of those years leading local teams. The Seahawks 2013-14 season ended with a 66-51 loss to the Westlake Wolverines in the MPSSAA 3A South Regional tournament championship game on March 7.

This was Johnson’s first season as head

coach of the Seahawks. He was an assistant under Mark Engle two seasons prior. Johnson has brought in several coaches to help run the summer camp this year. “Our main goal in preparing campers for court action is to focus much of our basketball instruction on fundamentals. We have put together a list of skills that each player should be able to successfully complete by the end of camp,” Johnson stated in his camp brochure. “We feel that fundamentals are vital to the game of basketball, and without proper skills, players will not be able to attain success at the next level. Instrumental in our focus of fundamentals will be our coaching staff, who all have previous coaching and playing experience at the highest level of basketball.” Joining Johnson will be Greg “Bubby” Brown, the 2001 player of the year in Wicomico County. In 2002 he was named the all-time leading three-point shooter at Wi-Hi. Brown also made All-Rookie First Team in the MEAC conference while at UMES. Also on the camp’s coaching staff is Craig Winder.

(June 20, 2014) Many people argue over the official “beginning” of summer, but for the Ocean City Tennis Center’s youth programs the Junior Tennis Academy and Pee Wee Camps are the heart and soul of the junior programs. The Ocean City Tennis Academy serves youth from ages 8-18 and runs from 1-4 p.m. four days a week for five weeks throughout the summer. The Pee Wee Camps serve children ages 4-7 and runs from 9-11 a.m. during the same weeks. The first camp session is June 23-26 at the 61st Street facility run by the Ocean City Recreation & Parks Department and there is room available in both programs for participants. The programs have been carefully developed under the leadership of Dr. Keith Coleman who is serving in his 10th year at the director of tennis. Subsequent camp sessions will be held; July 7-10, July 14-17, July 21-14,

Tate was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. He was with the team for four seasons. In March, Tate signed with the Cleveland Browns. “I’m blesses God gave me the gift to play football,” Tate said. On April 6, Tate posted on Facebook: “Excited [about] this new chapter…determined to make it one of the best chapters.” The comment was accompanied by a “Tate” No. 44 Cleveland Browns jersey and helmet. “I love playing football. I can’t wait for the season to get started,” Tate said Wednesday. His goal is to “do whatever it takes to win games.” “I’ll do whatever my team needs me to do,” he said.

NICE SHOT Ocean City resident Jim Plumaker accomplished his first hole-in-one on the 14th hole at Ocean Resorts Golf Club on May 28.

and Aug. 4-7. The cost for the three-hour academy is $126 for Ocean City residents and $146 for non-residents. For the two-hour Pee Wee Camp, the cost is $92 for residents and $112 for non-residents.

Trimper’s Haunted House turns 50 OC Boardwalk attraction draws more than 1,800 riders daily each summer

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The ghouls and goblins of Trimper’s Haunted House are turning 50 years old this summer. The spooky ride on the Boardwalk not only boasts one of the world’s oldest, continuously running dark rides, but the longest, clocking in at just over five minutes from the time visitors enter on Dracula’s coffin carriage to their exit. Each day during the summer, as many as 1,800 Boardwalk guests stand in line for the ride, which has built a significant fan base over the years, said ride aficionado and author of “Trimper’s Rides” Brandon Siedl. “It’s an Ocean City landmark,” he said. “A lot of people travel from all over the country to see it.” The Haunted House opened in the summer in 1964, thanks to the mastermind behind the spooky scenes Bill Tracy. Following closely the works of Walt Disney, Tracy designed approximately 80 projects up and down the East Coast

Trimper’s Haunted House on the Boardwalk is one of the country’s oldest continuously running dark rides and its longest, clocking in at just over five minutes. As many as 1,800 people line up each day during the summer to ride the 50-year-old ride.

and across the country, but Trimper’s Haunted House is one of the few that have survived fires and vandalism. Tracy specialized in dark and spooky rides, but also created jungle-themed attractions and Trimper’s Pirates Cove. “Tracy was a pioneer in the industry and he was able to create these never-

before-seen characters,” Seidl said. “He was really a brilliant artist.” From the Haunted House’s UpsideDown Room, which uses bolted décor to give riders the sensation of traveling on the ceiling, to the dizzying Revolving Barrel effect that makes them feel like See MANY Page 56

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The 13th annual Ocean City Car and Truck Show rolls into town this weekend with hundreds of rides from trick trucks to classic cars in and outside the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. There will be interactive displays, vendors selling the latest auto industry products and big-name performances live onstage during the show that takes place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event by Live Wire Media will be bigger than ever before, said Brad Hoffman, who created the show more than a decade ago. “We always say that, but somehow we always deliver,” Hoffman said. “From muscle cars, trucks and tuners to high-end automobiles, there is some type of vehicle for everyone.” In previous years there have been vehicles equipped with 50 televisions, 450 horsepower or cars lifted up 8 feet high, for example. Hoffman promises the 2014 show will be a fun, safe and family-friendly event. “The OC Car and Truck Show is a great thing for the whole family to get out and enjoy,” he said. “It… has become an Ocean City tradition for so many.” Visitors can see tuners, trucks, exotic Lamborghinis, classic cars, bikes and “anything with wheels.” In addition to the cars, bike free rider and stunt rider Mike Steidley will give performances along with Grammy Award-winning artist Mya. Visitors can check out the vendor alley for sales up to 75 percent off head units, speakers and more. Other attractions include the MISS OC Car Show Bikini Contest with a cash prize, kid’s zone, Scion Break Dance shows and DJ’s spinning tunes inside and outside on multiple stages all weekend. A number of gifts will be given away this weekend including two big prizes — a complete Sony car audio system See SHOW Page 51

Hoffman said the show has become an annual tradition in Ocean City and, because no alcoholic beverages are sold onsite, it is a good activity for Senior Week visitors. “We’re proud of our ability to provide good, clean fun and a platform for people to bring their passion and energy and love of cars to Ocean City,” he said. “Folks of all ages can enjoy different events from the kid zone to the custom cars to the live entertainment. It’s all about a fun-filled family vacation.” In addition to the car show, the OC AWD Meeting Part 2 and the 8thGEN Honda Meet will take place during the show from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The Fr3sh Meet will be from 6-10 p.m. Saturday night and throughout the entire show Sunday.

Teach a Kid to Fish day, June 21 Free event will take place at Pines’ South Gate Pond for young anglers ages 4-16

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The Anglers Club will Teach a Kid to Fish on Saturday, June 21. The free, annual event will be held at the South Gate Pond near the Sports Core pool from 9-11 a.m. “Part of our Angler’s Club charter is to provide the basis for getting kids and their families interested in fishing,” said organizer Walt Boge. “It’s basically part of our mantra.” The club will set up tables for teaching various aspects of fishing, including how to tie knots, how to cast a line, how to distinguish between different types of lures and hooks and how to handle a fish. Participants can register for a free ticket for a rod and reel drawing, and a Department of Natural Resources volunteer will be on hand to discuss fishing laws and regulations in Maryland. Participants will also have the opportunity to get a little hands-on experience. “When they’re all taught up we give them live bait and worms and minnows, and they can take it out to the pond to fish,” said Boge. “It’s all

free, and we usually have a pretty sizable number – 80 people or more.” No license is required to fish in the pond. Ages 4-16 are welcome. Boge said the response has been positive. “Everybody seems to enjoy it,” he said. “Many of our members enjoy it too; they enjoy working with the kids. You just have to look at the face of a

kid who just caught his first fish – even if it’s a little one they just act so proud of what they did. “We just want everybody to have a good time,” Boge continued. “Not only do the kids learn, but sometimes the kids and grandparents learn a thing or two as well.” For more information, call 410208-2855.

OC Air Show draws large crowds Weather for two-day event ‘absolutely perfect’ and performances ‘fantastic’

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) With Father’s Day, Flag Day and beautiful weather coalescing, Ocean City Air Show pilots took flight over thick crowds along the Boardwalk and beach last weekend. “The weather was absolutely perfect and the performances were fantastic,” said Cathy Bassett, press officer for the show. “The beach was packed and the Boardwalk was packed. You could hear people ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ for blocks,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “As a mom and a visitor of Ocean City, I think that the Air Show is one of the most unique events that we have,” Waters said. The seventh annual Air Show featured high-flying routines by the U.S. Navy Seals Leap Frogs, U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier, GEICO Skytypers, Red Bull Air Force and more. But the highlight for many was when the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds took to the sky Saturday and Sunday afternoon. “Every year I get goose bumps be-

cause it’s such a special event — such a patriotic event,” Waters said. “People were actually standing up from their beach chairs and giving a standing ovation to the Thunderbirds (on Sunday).” The show was equally special for the pilots, who were able to interact

with their fans along the Boardwalk and at Air Show events across the city, Bassett said. “Having the Thunderbirds in town and the opportunity to meet and greet the Thunderbirds on the Boardwalk— it was all pretty spectacular,” See BLUE Page 55

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re still in a favorable goal-setting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow. A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots. Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.”

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Thrift is still dominant this

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Staying close to home early in the

Blue Angels slated to headline 2015 show Continued from Page 52 she said. Most of the Thunderbirds’ performances take place at air force bases and airports across the country, she said, but the Ocean City show provides a more intimate setting. “We heard from them how great it is to see the crowd’s reaction as they do their maneuvers,” Bassett said. “That’s pretty special.” Fitting for Flag Day, which celebrated the adoption of the U.S. flag on Saturday, most everyone agreed the OC Air Show was a patriotic event. “It’s very patriotic and it’s probably one of the best air shows to witness,” said Sean Carroll, who flew his Yak-9 fighter jet in the show and was first inspired to fly by acts like the Thunderbirds and U.S. Navy Blue Angels. “Just feeling that sort of patriotism and that sense of honor and duty about what these guys do every day for our country is amazing,” Bassett said. Other OC Air Show highlights included a nighttime parachute jump by the U.S. Navy Seals Leap Frogs at Ocean Downs casino in Berlin Saturday night and the addition of Gary Ward in the MX-2 and Greg Connell in the Pitts Model 12 flying head-tohead. Visitors also had the chance to fly onboard the WWII B25 Mitchell Bomber “Panchito” during the show

In all, there were 215,760 people in town over the weekend, according to demoflush statistics that measure the town’s population based on wastewater usage. That’s up more than 5 percent from the 2013 Air Show, which saw rain one of the two performance days. Event organizers are already looking ahead to the 2015 OC Air Show

and the Blue Angels are slated to deliver their aerial stunts over the city’s beach next June 13-14. Organizers will announce other acts periodically throughout the year as they’re pegged, Bassett said. “It’s one of my absolute favorite events that we have,” Waters said of the OC Air Show. “Overall it was a great success,” Bassett said.

GEICO Skytypers Pilot Ken Johansen and Ocean City Today's Liz Lane prepare to take off down the runway of the Ocean City Municipal Airport for a media flight Saturday morning, June 14.

By Liz Lane Contributing Writer (June 20, 2014) The 10-mile drive from Ocean City’s inlet to the top of the town can be a long one, with more than 100 stoplights and seemingly endless vacation crowds. For the GEICO Skytypers, however, the island doesn’t seem so big from the cockpit of their World War II-era planes during the Ocean City Air Show. I didn’t think Ocean City looked so big either after climbing up into one of only 11 remaining SNJ-2 aircrafts in the world with the Skytypers before their performance last Saturday. The “sick bag” I stuffed in the left leg pocket of my jumpsuit, though? It didn’t seem quite big enough. I arrived at the Ocean City Munic-

ipal Airport in my cotton leggings and tennis shoes, per GEICO’s safety requirement, and immediately regretted my morning breakfast after seeing the compact design of these seemingly ancient planes and realizing that I would soon be 10,000 feet in the air. On top of my carefully chosen outfit, a blue GEICO jumpsuit and American flag-themed helmet became my new work uniform. GEICO Public Affairs Officer Brenda Little said she had never seen one of their jumpsuits fit a guest so well, which gave me high hopes for the day. Right Wing Pilot Ken Johansen, 48, introduced himself as he helped fit my helmet after watching me struggle, which quickly reminded me I had never flown before. Johansen, however, had. The 23-year pilot fell in love with aviation as a young boy when he climbed into his first plane with his father, Bob Johansen, who is also a member of the Skytypers team. Ken graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1989 and earned his wings two years later. After wanting to “be like dad,” the two were able to spend Father’s Day together in the sky.

Trimper, commissioned Tracy to build the ride because he was impressed with other attractions the artist had designed. Celebrating it’s golden anniversary, the Haunted House is no small project to keep up and running, Siedl said. “It’s not just ‘go in and turn the lights on,’” he said. Many effects have been restored over the years and the Haunted House has many new additions, including a recent makeover of the Torture Chamber family, which had to be removed from the ride for a few weeks and taken to an artist’s workshop. “The Trimpers have done a lot to make sure it stays around,” Seidl said. And combined with Tracy’s design a half century ago, he believes that’s why this ride has outlasted so many others. Learn more about the Haunted House on Seidl’s website www.ochh.net.

Participating in shows ‘rewarding,’ pilot says Continued from Page 56 With Bob flying in the No. 4 “slot” position, Ken performs in the Skytypers’ formations as the no. 2 “right wing” pilot. However, I flew with Ken on Saturday in the No. 1 plane as he continued to practice for the “lead” position. I spent about 15 minutes in a safety brief, with Ken illustrating the proper way to crouch, not stand, in my seat before jumping out toward the wing and pulling a small metal ring on my chest to open the heavy parachute on my back. A life vest sat strapped underneath the parachute for further assistance if necessary. This procedure, however, is something Ken said he has thankfully never had to do. The other four pilots and three passengers dispersed to their assigned planes and it was time to start up the engines. When no one else was around, Ken secretly assured me I could change my mind at any point during the flight. If it “wasn’t my thing,” or if I needed more than one sick bag, he would land his plane. “I’ll make up some excuse and no one has to know,” he said. And with that comforting option in mind, I boarded the historic aircraft. These remaining vintage planes have been restored from their heyday in the 1940’s when they were built to help transition pilots from trainer

planes to tactical aircrafts. The Skytypers, founded in 1985 as the only unit in the world to sktype and perform in air shows, use six of the 11 planes and have equipped them with special computers to help create the sky messages. They display plane positions and illustrate at what time each pilot is to release his puff of

smoke during skytyping. Still, not everything about the plane is new. With an open cockpit, Ken requested I keep my window closed for a portion of the flight. He said he didn’t want 74-year-old dust flying up into his face. The five planes that make up the Skytypers team taxied down the run-

way in a zig-zag fashion. Ken quickly explained through the headset that the pilots do this to see the road better around the nose and propellers. “It’s not because I don’t know what I’m doing,” he said. In just a few minutes Ken was flying about 200 mph at 10,000 feet in the air. I looked out my window at the Sinepuxent Bay and the No. 2 plane appeared along with the three others. Flying only 250 feet away, it felt as if I could reach out and touch them. Ken said this close, side-by-side flying formation requires ample skill and trust between the pilots to create letters as tall as the Empire State Building. They must be sure not to fly too far apart and mistype the message, but not too close and crash. Even though these shows take a lot of concentration from Ken, he said it’s very rewarding. “It’s freeing,” he said, “and other people dream of doing what I’m doing so I take a seriously responsibility to always do my best.” The team spent about 20 minutes in the air creating words that could be seen for 15 miles in any direction. During regular performances, the team works at a speed of one letter every four seconds. We dipped down, came back up, flew over and under each other, and See LANE Page 59

Artists sought for WCAC juried show

Lane enjoys time flying with GEICO Skytypers over OC Continued from Page 57 circled the island in a matter of seconds. I lost count just how many times I heard Ken’s muffled voice through the headset asking if I was OK. The adrenaline allowed me to answer “yes” every time. Ken then came back on the headset to inform me of a left turn we would soon be making. Because of the muffling wind and unfamiliarity with the sound of aircraft communication, I was left unsure when said turn would take place and just how sharp it would be. It turned out to be a very sharp turn. Coming in for the landing, Ken asked once again if I was OK. That time I lied and said yes, becoming very aware of the sick bag I deemed unnecessary back on solid ground. Every bump and thump on the tarmac was a reminder how inexperienced I am as a flyer. But it also reminded me how experienced Ken is as a pilot after flying jets in the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1996 to 1998. “In high performance [flying] you pull some G’s, and I’ve always liked it,” he said. “I like roller coasters, too. So, I’m used to the force.” I took some deep breaths after the plane came to a stop and Ken helped me out of my seat. I had to slide off the wing, he was able to hop down. “Beautifully done,” he said. And it was. The team continued to successfully perform for Ocean City for the remainder of the weekend and, originally based in Long Island, the unit will travel on to Wisconsin for the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh at the end of July. Ken eventually returned home to Northern Pennsylvania, where he lives with his son Luke and wife Louise, while I went my separate way to a restaurant on 94th Street. I normally try to refrain from traveling “so far” north, but my flight with Ken showed me that Ocean City, let alone the world, may not be as large as I originally thought.

About 70 acres dedicated in Nassawango Creek Preserve

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Joan Maloof, center, of the Old-Growth Forest, presents a plaque during a dedication ceremony at the Nassawango Creek Preserve last Wednesday. Approximately 70 acres of the Snow Hill preserve are now part of the Network’s Dedicated Forests, which are protected from future logging and open for the public to visit.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) Maryland became the country’s 11th state to lay claim to a tract recognized by the Old-Growth Forest Network last Wednesday when Network officials dedicated about 70 acres in Snow Hill’s Nassawango Creek Preserve. Around 20 attended the dedication ceremony last Wednesday for the swathe that features the 1-mile-long Prothonotary Birding Trail, a sloping tract leading up to the edge of Nassawango Creek and its bald cypress swamp. “Ninety-eight percent of oldgrowth forests are gone, but forests are constantly evolving. If you leave a forest in peace, it will become an old-

growth forest,” said Holiday Johnson, Worcester County’s representative for the Network. “That’s the beauty of it — this is our future old-growth forest,” she said. What constitutes “old growth” varies by type of tree, but about 100 years old or more works as a general rule, Johnson said. Around that age, trees begin to have a horizontal branch structure — one that proves key for some species. Birds, including the trail’s namesake Prothonotary Warbler, and some mammals such as squirrels thrive in those dense forest environments and even other plants such as lichens and ferns begin to grow on very old trees.

Land protected from future logging

“Because it’s been there so long, it starts to have its own ecosystem,” Johnson said. The goal of the Old-Growth Forest Network is to take areas like that and protect them from future logging, said its Founder and Executive Director Joan Maloof. The Network looks for forests that are “as old as possible” to add to its list of Dedicated Forests, she said. It also requires that dedicated tracts be open to the public so future generations can interact with the environs that had virtually disappeared from the U.S. landscape. The goal is to eventually have an old-growth forest protected from logging in each county that once had such a forest, Maloof said, and at two years old, the Old-Growth Forest Network already includes 30 such areas spread across the United States. The Nature Conservancy began collecting land along Nassawango Creek in 1978, according to its Web site. At more than 9,000 acres of swamp and upland forest along the creek, the Nassawango preserve is Maryland’s largest privately owned and protected areas. It is also one of the northernmost remaining examples of a bald cypress swamp. Limited core sampling as Nassawango found 150-year-old pines

and a bald cypress aged at 183 years, as well as other species over 100 years old — and those might not even be the oldest trees in the protected area, Maloof said. Now that the land is part of the Old-Growth Forest Network, it will be protected from future logging. “When this forest was privately owned, it could’ve been cut down,” Maloof said. “It’s a beautiful, mature, diverse forest and now it is pro-

tected.” Visit www.nature.org and search “Nassawango Creek Preserve” to learn more about Snow Hill’s conservation area or see www.oldgrowthforest.net for more information on the Old-Growth Forest Network. Those interested in seeing old growth trees along the Prothonotary Birding Trail can find the trailhead on Creek Road in Snow Hill and should come prepared with bug spray.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Waffles with pancetta, apples, currant syrup Sweet and savory topping raises bar of imagination and incorporates depth

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 20, 2014) Creativity pervades the path of a chef. Individuality is the key to self-expression and progresses throughout one’s career. Originality must be developed if distinction is to be achieved. Preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification are the stages that open the door to discovery. On that note let us delve into the whimsical subject of mouth-watering waffles. Waffles are without a doubt one of America’s favorite breakfast items. But how much do we know about the sugary treat filled with a crisp, honeycomb texture? Knowledge imparts familiarity that in turn sweetens the pot. Believe it or not but waffles date back to the Neolithic society. Historical evidence shows that Neolithic man made a crude version of a hotcake from harvested grains. They cooked these grain cakes on heated

stones and flipped them over to heat both sides evenly. The ancient Greeks continued the tradition of waffles. According to Larousse Gastronomique, the ancient Greeks made thin wafer cakes called obleios. These cakes were cooked by pouring a thick batter mixture in between two heated plates. Little did they know that the heated plates would be a prelude to the concept of a waffle iron. Waffles in the Middle Ages and Renaissance started to take on the appearance of waffles as we know them today. Professional waffle peddlers called blowers began to sell the honeycombed, flat cakes made from barley and oats on the streets. These waffles were about the size of a small pizza and became quite popular. In 1789, just as the French Revolution was taking off, Thomas Jefferson’s second term as ambassador to France was ending. Jefferson made his exit and returned to the United States. He took with him two items that had an enormous impact on how America eats: a pasta machine and a long-handled waffle iron. The introduction of the long-handled waffle iron set off a national waffle craze. Even the White House was the scene of the infamous waffle parties.

Guests enjoyed their waffles with a sweet topping of maple syrup or a savory addition of kidney stew. The opportunity of “choice” elevates any festive occasion. Now that we know how waffles came to be, let us explore the subject of preparing the perfect waffle. Modern technology has given us the option of choosing between frozen or homemade waffles. For those who want to venture in the art of cooking from scratch, following are a few tips to ensure excellence. Respect your waffle maker; read the instruction manual. Different waffle makers are designed to cook waffles differently. “Non-stick” is in the batter. In other words, the amount of oil or butter in your batter will determine whether or not your waffles will stick to the waffle maker. If a light and fluffy texture is desired, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the beaten yolks to the wet ingredients of your batter. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. You will be amazed how a subtle step can make quite a difference. A common mistake in waffle making is lifting the lid too early. As a

general rule, you should always wait until your waffle maker indicates it is okay. If your waffle maker does not have this option, the steam will be your gauge. When the steam stops, lift the lid. Syrup is the last task at hand and should be given the same consideration as the other elements of waffle making. Details assure perfection and every aspect must be considered. A sweet and savory topping raises the bar of imagination and at the same time incorporates depth. Wonderful creations can be as simple as one, two, three. Syrup adorned in pancetta, apples, and currants is the trinity of divinity. Enjoy. Ingredients: 4 ounces pancetta 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 Gala apples (peeled and cored) 4 cups maple syrup 1/3 cup light brown sugar 4 pinches each cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg 1/3 cup currants zest of 1 small lemon powdered sugar 8 frozen waffles 1. Blanch pancetta for three minutes to remove some of the sodium. See TOP Page 65

Little known about Md. Diamondback Terrapin turtles

(June 20, 2014) The Maryland reptile mascot is the Diamondback Terrapin turtle. Interestingly, little is known about this turtle, which apparently seems to be the case with most wildlife. Inhabiting the brackish waters in the bays and creeks of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, it is the only turtle in North America found in estuaries, a section of river that meets the ocean. The Diamondback Terrapin gets its name from the diamond like growth rings on the top of their shell. When you see them on land, fullgrown terrapins are anywhere from 5 to 7.5 inches. The females are the larger of this species. Unfortunately, like most of our native turtles, the terrapin is facing numerous threats, including habitat loss, boat strikes, vehicle strikes and nest predation. Fortunately, these are two threats that one can easily do something about. The simplest step to protect the terrapin is making sure crab pots have a little device called a BRD, (bycatch reduction device, sometimes referred to as a turtle excluder). Crab pots attract terrapin turtles as they feed on the same food source as crabs. Unfortunately, due to the dome shape of the turtle shell, once the turtle gets into a cage, it can’t get out. Although terrapin feed underwater, they need air. They can’t get out, they drown. Thanks to the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, MCBP has a program where citizens are working with vendors to insure that BRDs are attached to recreational crab pots sold in our area. BRDs on recreational crab pots is a Maryland requirement. Anyone who sees a terrapin should register the sighting on the Maryland Coastal Bays Web site, www.mdcoastalbays.org. Another threat to the terrapin, other turtles as well as all wildlife, are vehicle strikes. Like deer season, the

Shore home to about 19 turtle species, sub species terrapin has a season of road crossing. Late May, and throughout June and July turtles start laying their eggs on land and hatchlings start to migrate to the water for a safer habitat. Unfortunately, development has diminished safe turtle habitat, which means road crossings. A baby terrapin is the size of a quarter, so it is difficult to spot one crossing the road, but knowledge is the key. When driving down coastal roads, be alert. If you find a baby turtle, place it in a marshy area, not the ocean. If the legs are not flipper shaped, it’s not an ocean dweller. Approximately three percent of turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood. The Eastern Shore is home to approximately 19 species and sub species of turtles. Find a listing of these turtles on the DNR Web site, www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/Plants _Wildlife/pdfs/herpchecklist.pdf. Eastern Shore turtles can be broken down into five different groups: Box and water turtles, musk and mud turtles, snapping turtles, softshell turtles and sea turtles. The most common are the box turtle and the snapping turtle. The box turtle is the most territorial turtle. Unfortunately, people pick this turtle up and try to take it home

as a pet. These turtles have the strongest homing sense and are the most territorial turtle. Placing it in an area foreign to it will most likely result in its death. Snapping turtles are the other most common turtle most likely found in an encounter. They can grow as large as three feet in diameter and are the most aggressive turtle. They are important aquatic scavengers and like vultures, are under appreciated for their significant contributions to a healthy environment. Snapping turtles are too large to hide completely in their shell so their defense mechanism is their ability to snap. The species of sea turtles found here include the loggerhead, green sea turtle, Kemp’s Ridley, leatherback and Atlantic hawksbill. Sea turtles are fully aquatic and emerge from water only to breed and lay eggs. Sea turtle nests are rare to this area and the hatchings have not been very successful. If you see a turtle on the beach, the best and more important thing to do is report it to the Marine Animal Stranding Program by calling 410373-0083. All species of sea turtles on the Eastern Shore are listed as Federally Threatened or Endangered.

ON GUARD

Physical fitness key for OC Beach Patrol lifeguards

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 20, 2014) The Ocean City Beach Patrol employs more than 200 people. Surf Rescue Technician (SRT) is the title that our lifeguards earn once they complete Surf Rescue Academy and you see them wearing their red uniforms and manning the 300pound white lifeguard stand. Each SRT is a member of one of the 17 crews that stretch from the inlet jetty to the Delaware state line. Each crew functions as a team and has five or six lifeguard stands, with the crew chief stand located in the center. In addition to the crew chief there is an assistant crew chief and up to six additional SRTs who work together to cover all stands in the crew from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. as well as days off, lunch breaks and mandatory workouts. Yes, mandatory workouts. They not only have to meet certain physical requirements to be hired as an SRT and be re-qualified each summer season with the patrol, they also have to complete a prescribed daily workout of at least 20 minutes per day in the midst of their guarding shifts. In reality, our SRTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are no different than a professional athlete who we have hired for their physical attributes and have trained them in techniques that allow them to use these special skills and abilities to protect visitors. Starting daily at 10 a.m., an SRT working a 4.5-hour shift begins their day making sure that the entire area of the beach covered by their crew, is covered and prepared for the day. Once all set up and administrative tasks are completed they begin relieving each SRT in the crew who is on a 7.5-hour shift. Once each SRT is relieved they are required to perform an ordinance check on their beach by walking (jogging) in among the beach patrons checking for unsafe conditions and infractions, followed by a mandatory workout prescribed by the crew chief. The workouts usually consist of swimming, running or both. They can change daily at the discretion of the crew chief that runs the workouts in a certain area. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely hot, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely be a water workout day, but on a day when the wind is high, and temperature moderate, there are all types of various workout activities the crew chief will devise. Once all crew members have completed their morning duties and workout the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lunch roverâ&#x20AC;? will replace each SRT who is working the full day for a 30-minute lunch break See BP Page 73

Chickin’ Pickin’ Championship part of festival

(June 20, 2014) The 12th installment of the Mountaire Chickin’ Pickin’ Championship will take place during the 65th and final Delmarva Chicken Festival at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, near Centreville, Md. This family-friendly event will pit 20 competitors against each other to see who can pick and shred the most meat from oven-roasted chickens in a timed, ultra-competitive format. The winner will receive $500. Winners are determined by who can pick and shred the most meat in five minutes. Contestants will have access to an unlimited amount of cooked birds; however, they must pick and shred all meat (including meat from the breast, thighs, wings and back) and skin from a single bird before they can move onto the next one. Contest judges will rule if the bird is fully picked and that a new one can be picked. Picked meat is thrown into a collection tray which is weighed at the competition’s end to determine the winner. Any bones or large chunks of meat in the collection tray will be removed before being weighed. To enter, send an e-mail to Roger Marino, Mountaire Corporate director of Communications & Community Relations, at rmarino@mountaire.com. Contestants may sign up in person no later than 12:30 p.m. the day of the event; however, space is limited. All contestants must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Once the field is locked, contestants will face off in four preliminary heats of five competitors each, with the winner advancing to the finals. The winner of each heat must stay to compete in the next round up to the finale at 3:30 p.m. The four-person finale is five minutes of pure meat-picking pandemonium, where one person will be crowned champion. All of the picked chicken goes to a good cause. After the event, the chicken will be picked up by a local animal shelter to be mixed with other ingredients to feed the animals in that shelter. The Delmarva Chicken Festival will take place June 20-21 at the Queen Anne’s County 4-H Park on Route 18 near Centreville and offers entertainment and attractions for all ages. For a schedule of events, visit www.dpichicken.org (click on 2014 Delmarva Chicken Festival). The Delmarva Chicken Festival is sponsored by Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. and hosted by Queen Anne’s County.

MSO concert to kick off summer entertainment

(June 20, 2014) The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Julien Benichou, will kick-off the seventh summer season of The Freeman Stage at Bayside at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 20. Admission is $10 per person, with youth 18 and under admitted free. The MSO is enjoying its 17th season and its ninth year under the musical direction of Benichou. The 50-plus member orchestra continues to grow in numbers and repertoire. “The arts are such an important part of the cultural life of our communities,” Benichou said. “I see the MSO flourishing in the near future, giving us the opportunity to bring the Mid-Atlantic region beautiful musical experiences.” Along with the orchestra, the June 20 performance at The Freeman Stage will feature the Irish Vallely Brothers Trio, and nearly 100 students from John M. Clayton Elementary, who will be singing three songs on stage with the orchestra. “We are grateful for our partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra,” said Patti Grimes, executive director of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation. “This is the seventh season at The Freeman Stage at Bayside and each year the MSO has helped us launch our summer schedule. With the inclusion of the students of John M. Clayton Elementary School, thanks in part to a NEA Challenge America grant that we received, we feel as though this is a the perfect collaboration between professional musicians, aspiring musicians, and the community that supports them both.” Among the performances scheduled for later this season are such crowd favorites as Clear Space Theatre Group, Jesse Garron’s tribute to Elvis, and the First State Ballet Theatre. Also returning in 2014 are the Arts & Jazz Festival, Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, artist John Donato, Tommy Edward as Sir Rod, Hotel California: “A Salute to the Eagles” and Bruce in the USA, whose performance will include special guests in the audience from Operation SEAs the Day–a beach week event held in September for veterans who are recovering from injuries sustained while serving our country. Two nights of “Locals Under the Lights,” where local artists will have their moment in the spotlight, will also be back in 2014. Performers new to the outdoor stage this summer include Vocal Trash, winner of NBC’s “Phenomenon” Mike Super, Darrah Carr Dance, the Shaun Johnson Big Band, the Hot Club of San Francisco and Grammy Award winner Cristina Pato. The Freeman Stage is a program of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, who partners to present memorable performances and provide inspired arts education for all.

A piece of surf lifesaving equipment that Surf Rescue Technicians (SRTs) are trained and certified to use is the rescue paddle board. Although a paddle board is not as effective in near shore rescues as an SRT with a buoy, they are much faster over a longer distance and provide far more flotation for a potential victim. Pictured is Crew Chief Kevin Johnson as he heads out for a workout next to the inlet rocks. Daily workouts are a requirement for all SRT's and assures they are physically prepared to perform their duties.

BP crew competition in July Continued from Page 69 beginning at noon. As an added incentive for the 17 crews to work hard at training and stay in top physical shape, the patrol holds an annual crew competition each year in late July. One of the rea-

sons this is done is so that the crews will want to practice together. Sometimes they’ll do it before or after the workday. The beach patrol also organizes one-mile swims in the mornings or See OCBP Page 74

OCBP lifeguards compete in Rehoboth Olympics annually Continued from Page 73 evenings when the guards are off duty and programs in which members can become certified for higher positions within the patrol. This is one of the ways that guards move up the ranks. They get certified in the different programs so they can apply for another position the following year. Our organization is about encouraging our employees to stay in shape, to continue training and to get better. As a bonus, all of this extra work that they do off the clock helps them when they’re actually working. Being in top physical condition is not only critical to do the daily job of guarding but it also comes in handy for competitions. Some patrol members compete in contests that are held around the area and in other parts of the country for lifeguards. Each year we send a team of OCBP female guards to women’s competitions and we also send a competition team consisting of males and females to participate in the United States Lifeguard Association Regional competitions. In addition we participate in the lifeguard Olympics that is held in Rehoboth Beach every year. Teams

are selected through tryouts to represent the OCBP and all those who compete are scheduled off and receive no compensation or support from the Town of Ocean City funds although many of our teams do receive support from local businesses. All of these competitions offer an opportunity for lifeguards throughout the region to display their fitness levels. So when you see the guards doing strange maneuvers on the beach, now you know they are probably either doing a mandatory workout devised by their creative crew chief or training for an upcoming competition…or both. But rest assured, even though they are on a break and working out, another guard is covering for them so that all 10 miles of Ocean City are fully guarded from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. every day regardless of weather. If the lifeguards are not on duty, then its not safe to swim…always remember to keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand. Guards stay physically fit to protect visitors, but can only do so while on duty.

Jolly Roger opened in 1964 as an Arnold Palmer Driving Range and Miniature Golf Course franchise. The following year the park added 10 amusement rides.

Jolly Roger on 30th Street, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, grew from a small driving range and miniature golf course franchise into a major East Coast attraction, including one of the largest go-cart collections in the country and the acclaimed waterpark Splash Mountain.

Resort landmark, Jolly Roger, marks 50th anniversary

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) On a swelteringly hot day in June, Ocean City landmark Jolly Roger celebrated its 50th anniversary and gave a few glimpses at what the future holds for the iconic amusement park. Mayor Rick Meehan, Worcester County Commissioners President Bud Church and Maryland Senator Jim Mathias were among the public officials on hand to honor park founder Charles Jenkins. Dean Langrall, director of sales and marketing at Jolly Roger, said in 1964, when the park opened, a gallon of gas cost 25 cents. The Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan show that year. Lyndon B. Johnson was president of the United States. “I was a third-grade student in Miss Harmon’s class in Prince Street Elementary in Salisbury,” Langrall said. “And in 1964, Charles, ‘Buddy’ Jenkins and Arnold Palmer’s manager Mark McCormick met. Jenkins owned a large parcel of Bayside property in Ocean City, Maryland and Palmer was the reigning king of golf at the time, developing driving ranges and miniature golf courses.” Jenkins bought one of Palmer’s franchises in July of that year. The following year he added 10 amusement rides. As the park continued to grow, Jenkins also purchased the Ocean City Pier Company, a property that later became known as “Jolly Roger at the Pier.” In the 1970’s Jolly Roger added a go cart track that would become “Speedworld” and a concrete waterslide that evolved into “Splash Mountain” to the original location on 30th See SPLASH Page 76

In OC, June 17, 2014, ‘Jolly Roger Amusement Park Day’ my golf swing forever,” he said. “But from then you’ve watched what’s evolved here and how it’s become an important part as we know that Ocean City is truly Maryland’s best family resort, and certainly the best beach resort on the East Coast. When you talk about family and family activities, I think it’s only exemplified by what’s offered here at Jolly Roger.” Meehan proclaimed June 17, 2014 “Jolly Roger Amusement Park Day” in honor of the anniversary, and Ocean City Town Council Secretary Mary Knight presented Jenkins with a key to the city. Church joking thanked Jenkins for the tax revenue the park has brought in. “Thank you Buddy – you just helped balance the budget,” he said. Church also presented Jenkins with a proclamation on behalf of the Commissioners. Mathias, who worked at the park as a teenager, thanked Jenkins “on behalf of the many, many, many families who have come here and who will continue to come here.” The senator read a governor’s citation of behalf of Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, as well as a citation from the state senate. Jenkins shared the honors with

longtime members of his staff. “They’re the ones who deserve these awards and accolades, because they’re the ones who created it,” he said. Jenkins also thanked many of the officials in attendance. “We’ve done nothing unusual – we’ve been part of the most unusual resort on the east coast of America, and I can tell you that because I’ve been in all of them in one kind of business or another. There is no resort like this. “Do we have bumps in the road coming? You’re damned right we do,” Jenkins continued. “We’ve got an economy nobody knows too much about. You’re going to have another hurricane; you’re going to have another nor’easter. Jim (Mathias) knows what it is to have a boardwalk shop when it’s blowing 40 miles an hour and the wind is whistling and the rain is raining. (Meehan and Church) know the same thing. But with each bump in the road Ocean City has always come back stronger. So we just represent what Ocean City is.” For more information on Jolly Roger Amusement Parks, including hours and ticket prices, call 410-2893477 or visit www.jollyrogerpark.com.

We could not continue this event without the support of the administration, teachers, and support staff of SDHS, as well as the many parent volunteers who put in countless hours designing the artwork, painting, decorating, picking up food, collecting prizes, and staying up all night to chaperone and clean up. Through the generosity of our wonderful community, we hope to continue the After Prom event for many years to come. We owe our gratitude to the following individuals, families, community organizations, and businesses: A Perfect Face, Abbey Burger Bistro, Action Island, Applebee’s, Assateague Greens, Atlantic General Hospital, Atlantic Orthopaedics, Atlantic Physical Therapy, Atlantic/Smith, Cropper & Deeley, Ayers, Jenkins, Gordy & Almand, P.A., Baja Amusements, Bank of Ocean City, Beechwood, Inc., Bliss Salon, Buckingham Presbyterian Church Deacon’s Fund, Buddhas and Beads, Bull on the Beach, Bungalow Love, Candy Kitchens, Catering by Ali, Chauncey’s, Claudia Nicholls, Connor’s Beach Café, Crab Alley, Crack of Dawn Bakery, Creative Day Spa, Cupcakes in Bloom, Dana Woods and her Art students, Davinci’s, Denise Esham, Denovo’s, Diamond Nails and Spa, Dominic Celozzi, Domino’s, Dough Roller, Dr. James Kramer, Dumser’s, Dunkin Donuts, Elliott’s Hardware, Eming’s, Esham Family, Fager’s Island, First Presbyterian Church of O.C., Fish Tales, Fisher’s Popcorn, Friendship UMC Friendship Circle, Game Stop, Gismondi Insurance, Glitter and Gold, Grand Prix Amusements, Greene Turtle West, Grotto’s Pizza, Harborside, Harmony Wellness Spa, Hooters, Hunan Chinese Restaurant, Ish Boutique, Jackie McKenzie, Janet and Darren Davis, Jiffy Lube, JJ Fish Studio, Jolly Rogers, Katie Coates, K-Coast Surf Shop, Kim and Allen Mumford, Lenora Mihavetz, P.A., Lombardi’s 94th St., Lou Taylor, Maho’s Kitchen, Malia’s Café, Mark and Bobbi Jo Fields, Michael Mann Fund for Children, Mione’s, Nancy Adkins, O.C./Berlin Optimist Club, OC Comfort Services, Ocean City Fishing Center, Ocean City Fraternal Order of Police #10, Ocean City Lioness Club, Ocean City Parrothead Club Charities, Inc., Ocean City Today, Ocean City Worship Center, Ocean City Elk’s Lodge #2645, Oh My Hair, Outback Steakhouse, Panera Bread, Paws and Claws, Plak That, Princess Royale, Quiet Storm downtown and 75th street, Raggamuffin, Rainbow Florist, Resort Homes, Inc., Richard L.

Assateague Island named sixth-best by USA TODAY Chincoteague nominated by Coastal Living for ‘Happiest Seaside Town’

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 20, 2014) The results are in, and one local island is receiving national acclaim in several notable publications. Assateague Island was named the sixth-best island by readers of USA TODAY and 10Best. “Assateague Island is where lucky visitors find themselves sharing 37 miles of pristine beaches: not with other tourists, but with the island’s famed herds of wild ponies,” according to the publication. “This rare stretch of undeveloped Mid-Atlantic Coast is also home to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore, both on the Atlantic Flyway, making it a prime island destination for birdwatchers.” Puerto Rico was named “best” island. “We were very excited – I think it’s wonderful,” said Evelyn Shotwell, executive director of the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce.

Trip Advisor named Assateague Island beach as the 23rd best beach in the United States in 2014. The rating was based on user reviews. “I hope it means increased tourism this summer and more folks visiting with the extra exposure in the media for these recent nominations,” Shotwell said. “We hope for a banner summer season.” Shotwell said the island has already seen increased visitation in 2014. “Memorial Day attendance was up and beaches were nice and full and people were having fun,” she said. “All the shopkeepers and the business owners that I’ve spoken with have said their numbers were at least comparable if not greater than last year’s. “The weather’s been beautiful,” Shotwell continued. “I think folks have been inside for the winter long enough and they’re ready to get out and enjoy the outdoors. We’re hoping that means increased visitation during the summer.” Chincoteague, Va. was also nominated by Coastal Living for “Happiest Seaside Town.” Winners will be announced this month.

OUR OPINION

Appearance does count every time

Regardless of the intent or the circumstances, it doesn’t look good when someone who has something both the city and the neighboring property owner want finds himself up against what he believes is a City Hall-led backdoor effort to drive down his price. Perception is reality in government and politics, regardless of whether property owner Robert Kirchiro’s suspicions are well founded or not. But what is he supposed to think? He has property the city needs for a 64th Street boat ramp. The owner of Dead Freddie’s Restaurant also wants Kirchiro’s 32 lots because they adjoin his parcel and, according to his representatives, he wants the boat ramp built. Kirchiro wants $200,000, was reportedly offered close to that amount by Dead Freddie’s and then that price dropped to $100,000, even as Realtor, Planning Commissioner Peck Miller, and others told the prospective buyer that is still too much because the city can condemn the property. No one can criticize the would-be purchaser for pursuing his best interests, but neither can Kirchiro be blamed for thinking that he is being squeezed by the city via Miller. Even if all this is above board – and City Hall officials including Miller say it is – it remains that Miller is a political appointee and a close associate of other elected officials. It looks bad even if it isn’t and city officials, who surely do communicate with each other, should have recognized that, no matter how much they want that boat ramp. That is the greater concern here – the failure or refusal of city officials to recognize that appearances do matter and that regardless of how sweet a deal the city might get for a ramp easement from another owner, it looks like an inside deal went down even if it didn’t.

THE PUBLIC EYE

Feels like 2002 all over again EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

By Phil Jacobs

Okay, so let’s start this out right. I am NOT ENDORSING any candidate ahead of the upcoming June 24 primary elections. However, I am feeling something familiar to 2002. That was the year that Republican candidate Robert Ehrlich, despite a 2-1 party affiliation disadvantage, defeated Democrat Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend for governor. Like you, I’ve seen the TV commercials, read the websites and checked out their Facebook pages. I’m coming into the primaries unsure still of who is the best democratic candidate. But I feel a familiarity with Republican candidate is Larry Hogan. He’s been around the Eastern Shore, and around again and again. If I was a democrat candidate, I’d be ready to hit the ground running after the primaries. I think that Hogan is going to be the man to defeat. But again, the primaries are days away, and his GOP opponents might have something to say about that result. Those opponents include David Craig, Ron George and Charles Lollar. Here’s why I think what I’m thinking. In 2002, it didn’t seem possible that almost any Baltimore area civic meeting I’d attend, I’d see Ehrlich there. I could be at a library meeting of senior citizens, there was Ehrlich. I could be eating a bagel at a deli, there was Ehrlich. It was uncanny. Who I wasn’t seeing as much was Ms. Townsend. I don’t think that Ms. Townsend was a bad candidate at all. I just think that after years of Gov. Parris Glendening, state voters wanted a new approach, and Ehrlich for sure offered that. Ms. Townsend was seen as four more years of Glendening, not that there was anything wrong or right about that. Attending those meetings was part of my job, but after the third or fourth Ehrlich sighting it became apparent that Ehrlich was really

working hard in the communities I covered. Flash forward 12 years. Here in Ocean City and Worcester County, I either run into Hogan or his support staff or I see his campaign bus like everywhere. Or I get emails from his staff, updating me. Don’t get me wrong. I had a meeting with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Doug Gansler last week. He was down here for the Maryland Municipal League conference, and we had a great meeting. He too is a formidable candidate. Ironically, as I was parting from Gansler, Hogan’s bus was pulling into a nearby parking lot. Anthony Brown? No contact whatsoever with Ocean City Today. I think the best part of the Brown campaign is his running mate Howard County Executive Ken Ullman, a man who would be a worthy candidate for governor in his own right. Getting back to Hogan. I was working in Prince George’s County for the P.G. Journal when his dad, the senior Larry Hogan was County Executive. I can remember that this is exactly what his father was doing, showing up at town meetings and even reaching out to us at the paper. Hogan, the gubernatorial candidate, came over to the Ocean City Today office on Wednesday just for a short meeting. We talked about the alarming pattern of past administrations not giving the lower Eastern Shore enough attention, especially when it came to pressing issues such as unemployment and health care. I don’t know, maybe it’s because Hogan lives in Edgewater, Md. in Anne Arundel County. Maybe it’s because he has been and will be spending a great deal of the days ahead campaigning on the Eastern Shore. He’s treating the shore as a priority, not as a secondary place. I wish there were more than one candidate See FEELS Page 93

If there’s one Spanish word I know, not counting anatomical references and various profanities, it is the word, “Goaaaaaaaaaaal!” Anyone unfamiliar with this word has not been watching the World Cup in Brazil these past few days and, more specifically, watching it the way I prefer: on Spanish language television. The Spanish-speaking announcers just have a more passionate way of expressing themselves on everything, which is why the Telemundo channel, for instance, is not just “Telemundo,” but “Telemuuuuuundooooooooo!” So when a soccer player boots or bumps the ball into the net, you don’t get the North American version of, “… and Dempsey takes a feed from Bradley, slips past Saka and … HE SCORES! No, you get, “ ... Dempsey (something, something,) Bradley (something, something) Saka (something, s o m e t h i n g ) GOAAAAAAAAAAAL! I don’t understand anything other than that, but you have to admit that it does sum up the situation nicely. Besides, it wouldn’t make any difference if I did understand the play-by-play, because all I know about soccer is that a bunch of guys who seem to spend the offseason cultivating body hair run up and down the field with a ball until one team become exhausted and allows the other to score. I have always enjoyed the game though and I’ve been thinking recently that I would appreciate it even more if I knew the rules so I could lose my temper like all the other fans do (and employ my other Spanish language skills). In fact, after this World Cup is over, I plan to learn as much as I can about soccer. Or as we Spanish television viewers might say, that would be my Goaaaaaaaaaaal!

Today marks 50th wedding anniversary for OP couple

A toast to the future, A salute to the past A tribute to love, and a relationship that lasts. Happy 50th wedding anniversary! Love, your children Jerry and Gloria Richards were married June 20, 1964 in Saint William Parish Chicago, Il. They have three children, Mark, Paul and Elizabeth, who all graduated from Stephen Decatur High School. Mark currently lives in Budapest, Hungary and is getting married this year and expecting a child. Paul and his wife, Sue reside in San Diego, Ca., and Elizabeth (Liz) and her husband, Kevin reside in Alexandria, Va. Jerry and Gloria have one grand-

son, Joseph Yap, 8. He is the child of Liz and Kevin. Another grandchild due this coming fall. The couple moved to Ocean Pines from Chicago in 1970 with three small children in tow. After camping at White Horse Park for two months, they eventually built their home on Battersea Road and lived there for 42 years. They now live as residents of The Parke at Ocean Pines. They are active members of St. John Neumann Catholic Church and are active residents of The Parke. Gloria Richards is a retired art teacher from both Wicomico and Worcester counties, and Jerry is continuing to sell real estate in Ocean Pines and Ocean City, which he has done for the last 44 years.

Feels like 2002 here again

Jerry and Gloria Richards pictured on their June 20, 1964 wedding day and now 50 years later celebrating their golden anniversary. The Ocean Pines couple has three children and one grandson with another grandchild on the way. The couple moved to Ocean Pines in 1970.

Continued from Page 92 who got down here from the Baltimore and Washington area to meet with the real people who own businesses or who are hard-working employees. But I wonder if there’s a change in the political air. We’ll see after the primaries.

Yet it seems like the state may be ready yet again for a Republican governor. A week ahead of the primaries, all of this is feeling like 2002. But I think that people want a new approach, a change. Just saying, that’s all.
