ELECTION SWITCH QUESTIONED Council debates whether date change was made to benefit Dare candidacy ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) The shift of Ocean City’s municipal election to coincide with the federal date appears to be a done deal as of Tuesday afternoon, despite heated allegations that the date change was affected to help ousted City Manager Dennis Dare run for City Council.

Although the move itself was approved last week and will involve simply switching the date of the city’s contest, not merging the municipal ballot with the larger state- and county-run poll,

there was one more matter to attend to at the council’s work session Tuesday.

City Solicitor Guy Ayres presented the council with a second charter amendment that would also change the date of the organizational meeting for newly elected officials to the week after the new November date, instead of the week following the old October date.

Last week, a vote to move the election date passed 5-2, with the majority of council citing voter demand as the reason. Joe Hall and Brent Ashley opposed the measure, although Hall had long

Dennis Dare

supported a similar election modification, while the rest of the council did not.

He said last week that he would only support the change if it involved a full ballot merger, citing concerns that two separate polling places would cause more voter confusion and fail to save the city money.

Although the council con-

sidered the merger possibility, the complexity of that procedure made it questionable whether the change could be accomplished in time for the fall election.

But when Tuesday’s discussion turned to this latest charter amendment, Council President Jim Hall made clear that he believes that political strategy was involved.

“It’s pretty obvious to me now that the date of the election was changed to help one candidate run for council,” he said.

Hall was referring to reports that Dare is considering seeking a council seat this season. Dare was forced into retirement last fall by a See MOTIVES on Page 8

Boarders bristle at enforcement of lengthrestrictions ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) A public furor erupted this week over what appears to be sudden enforcement of a previously unknown clause in the Ocean City Code that prohibits bodyboards over 42 inches in length from being used between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. during the summer.

“I’ve raised four kids here and I’ve seen them [the city government] slowly take everything away. They’re driving local kids away from their activities,” said Lee Gerachis, owner of Malibu’s Surf Shop on the Boardwalk at Eighth Street. Gerachis began warning others of the enforcement earlier this week via Facebook and through his daily radio surf reports.

“They’ve just decided all the sudden to do this,” Gerachis said. “My impression is that someone was probably hit by a kid on a bigger board and complained, and this is the immediate reaction.”

“It puts the beach patrol in a weird position, because they don’t want to enforce this.

Walker guilty of manslaughter in death of formerWOC bar owner OC bartender, 26,remains in jail until a presentence investigation is completed NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) Sobs could be heard Wednesday afternoon from friends and family members of Cyle Walker, 26, as Judge Richard Bloxom found him guilty in the death of West Ocean City bar owner Carey Flynn last October.

Before pronouncing Walker guilty of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, Bloxom recounted the testimony during the oneday trial that led to his verdicts.

Bloxom said he found the testimony of Jack Dunsworth, the bartender at the 707 Sports Bar and Grill on Old Bridge Road, on the night of the altercation, to be credible.

Dunsworth told the court that Carey Flynn, the bar’s owner, went outside to move his car from the back of the building to the side so his wife would not have to walk so far. It was his usual ritual. On Oct. 6, 2011, his nightly ritual changed when he saw Cyle Walker urinating on the side of the building. Walker had been celebrating his birthday by drinking at 707 after being thrown out of Harborside Bar and Grill at the commercial harbor. Flynn took exception with Walker in some fashion and called Dunsworth to join him outside.

The late Carey Flynn

Dunsworth dropped the phone at the bar and hurried outside to assist his employer. He saw Flynn standing in back of his car’s open door about 35 feet from Walker, who was yelling profanity at him.

Dunsworth, closely followed by Flynn, walked toward Walker in an attempt to get him to leave the premises. According to testimony, there was no aggression in their actions as they walked toward the birthday celebrator.

When they got close to him, Walker grabbed Flynn’s shirt and at about the same time, threw a punch at him. It was not clear whether the punch actually struck Flynn.

“Whether it connected or not doesn’t matter,” Bloxom said.

What was clear, the judge said, was that grabbing Flynn’s shirt and throwing a punch was second-degree assault.

In response to Walker’s actions, Flynn grabbed Walker’s shirt and a struggle ensued. All three men, Walker, Dunworth and Flynn, fell to the ground. Walker fell on his back or side with his knees up, Dun-

worth fell to the side and Flynn fell atop Walker.

Walker and Dunsworth got up, but Flynn was unable to rise without assistance. His wife, Beverly, who did not witness the assault, but who saw her husband lying on the ground, helped him walk to a nearby bench in front of the building.

Flynn, who was in his mid-60s and weighed about 350 pounds, sat on the bench, but was not well.

Walker was out of control. He continued cursing at the Flynns and his companions, his girlfriend and his father, were unable to get him into the cab that had arrived to take them home. Walker, his girlfriend and his father were all intoxicated.

Flynn, who had exhibited no signs of distress prior to the altercation with Walker, told his wife he could hardly breathe. As Flynn gasped for air, Walker mocked him by making similar sounds and gestures and calling him an old man and worse. Flynn’s symptoms intensified.

He slumped forward and then fell off the bench onto the ground. He was taken to a hospital where he died.

Bloxom recounted how Dr. Russell Alexander, who performed the autopsy at the Office of the Medical Examiner in Baltimore, testified that Flynn’s body had three liters of blood and one liter of blood clots in the abdomen because of a tear in an adhesion near the intestines. That adhesion would have been caused by lap band surgery a few years ago as a weight loss measure.

“He was in an altercation that caused

that area to tear,” Alexander testified.

Flynn’s symptoms, Alexander said, started “immediately following the altercation.”

Those symptoms, which including difficulty breathing and gasping for air, were an effect of internal bleeding, the forensics pathologist testified.

“He bled enough to cause him to die,” Alexander said.

Flynn’s official cause of death, Alexander testified, was an abdominal injury with contributing conditions including morbid obesity and cirrhosis of the liver.

“Mr. Flynn’s manner of death was a homicide,” Alexander testified.

Typically, a person has five to six liters of blood and losing one or one-and-a-half liters would be enough to cause death, but because Flynn had severe heart disease, he would have been less able to tolerate internal bleeding, Alexander said.

“He had an injury that was fatal,” Alexander testified.

State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby laid Flynn’s death squarely on Walker.

“But for Cyle Walker, Carey Flynn certainly would not have died Oct. 6, 2011,” Oglesby said.

Walker’s defense attorney, David Moore, called only one witness, lead investigator Sgt. Michael Smith, who in his brief time on the witness stand, testified that Dunsworth did not say Walker threatened to kill Flynn. Moore had one other witness sequestered, but did not call her to testify and did not know her last name. He See WALKER’S on Page 4

Walker’s actions blamed for death

WORCESTER COUNTY BRIEFS NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

Continued from Page 3

(July 13, 2012) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following topics during their July 3 meeting. Commissioners Judy Boggs and Louise Gulyas were unable to attend.

leaned over to ask Walker for her name when instructed by Bloxom to name his witnesses.

While discussing the verdict, Bloxom said Walker’s actions were the cause of Flynn’s death. It was “absolutely clear,” the judge said, that Walker was guilty of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

Moore wanted his client to remain out on bail until sentencing and said he was working at a hotel in Ocean City, but Bloxom said Walker would be held in jail because of the “extremely serious matter. “ He ordered a presentence investigation and said he wants “to know as much about him as I possibly can” before sentencing him.

Proclamation The commissioners issued a proclamation recognizing the month of July as Park and Recreation Month. The proclamation encourages residents to visit the county’s many parks and recreation areas and to reap the benefits of being outdoors and being active.

Software upgrade The commissioners approved the request of George King, the agency procurement specialist, to waive the formal bidding process for a software upgrade for the Health Department’s

electronic health record called Doctor’s HomePage offered by the current electronic health record vendor, Anasazi Software, at $37,240.

Anasazi is the only vendor of this electronic health record upgrade.

Fuel facility The commissioners voted to approve the request of Public Works Director John Tustin for an emergency repair and to waive the formal bidding process to expedite needed upgrades to the Snow Hill fuel facility.

The upgrade would consist of removing the concrete pad over the submerged pumps and installing new tank containment sumps, removing the tank island and dispensers to expose piping and installing dispenser containment sumps.

Sensors would be installed in all the pumps for leak detection and connected to the automatic tank gauging system. The fuel facility will be shut down for approximately two weeks for the upgrades to be completed. Delmarva Petroleum Service submitted the lowest proposals

for a total of $24,866.57.

Early payment discount The commissioners approved a resolution establishing a discount for the early payment of property taxes. For property taxes paid to the county treasurer from July 1-31, a discount of one-half percent of the amount of the county property tax will be granted. The discount had been one percent. The change went into effect immediately. The deadline for paying taxes is Sept. 30.

Reserve fund loan The commissioners authorized Finance Officer Harold Higgins to borrow cash from the county’s reserve fund to cover a temporary cash flow shortage. He said he was requesting the authorization “just in case we need to” borrow the funds. Cash projections for July are indicating expenses could exceed current cash levels for the general fund. Cash balances are typically low this time of year.

Gov. announces enterprise zone designations NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) All of the commercial and industrial property within the town limits of Snow Hill is now a 179-acre enterprise zone, Gov. Martin O’Malley announced Tuesday.

The designation will help revitalize the town’s downtown area, which has a number of closed storefronts.

“We are delighted with Gov. O’Malley’s selection of Snow Hill as an enterprise zone,” Mayor Charlie Dorman stated in a press release. “This is an important step for the retention of current businesses, attraction for future business and the potential to expand job opportunities.”

The town of Snow Hill had a designated enterprise zone, but that designation expired. When it applied for a new designation in the spring, it asked to designate the entire corporate limits of the town and certain adjacent commercial and industrial properties outside the town as an enterprise zone. That initial application was scaled back to remove residential properties.

O’Malley also announced that Cumberland, Hagerstown, Baltimore City and Pocomoke were approved for the designation, re-designation or expansion of their enterprise zones.

The governor, however, had announced the designation of the Pocomoke enterprise zone June 27 while he was in the county to speak at a banquet at the annual Maryland Municipal League summer

conference at the Ocean City convention center.

Pocomoke’s designation includes a 1,037-acre zone that includes the downtown area, the Pocomoke Industrial Park, the riverfront industrial area and other parcels.

Several existing companies, including Hardwire LLC, H&H Furniture Company, Aurora and Bel-Art, were established in Pocomoke because of the enterprise zone benefits.

The Jessup-based company, Vorbeck, plans to open in a state-owned 42,000square-foot facility in the Pocomoke enterprise zone. It is expected to create 50 new jobs within three years. The company is an innovator in the development of technology that enables greater use of electric vehicle and faster charging consumer electronics.

“Re-establishing the Enterprise Zone in Pocomoke City is a strong tool in our arsenal to advance economic development and further Worcester County’s reputation as having a business-friendly climate,” said Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners.

“This designation helps focus local and state resources that foster business growth and development, leads to the creation of skilled jobs in economically distressed areas and results in a stronger local economy overall.”

Certain areas of Pocomoke had been designated as enterprise zones, but that designation, like Snow Hill’s, expired. Bill See TAX on Page 6

West OC group pushing for crosswalks for pedestrian safety NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

(July 13, 2012) Pedestrian safety is of concern to many citizens of West Ocean City, who hope crosswalks can be installed across Route 50.

It is the top issue for the West Ocean City Association.

Founded several years ago, the association faded away during the past couple of years, Tom Elliott but West Ocean City resident Carolyn Cummins worked to revive it and the group has been getting together monthly to socialize.

In addition, a formal meeting was held in April and another such gathering is scheduled for October. In the meantime, the group’s leadership is concentrating on developing its role in the public process.

“The idea is to give West Ocean City a voice in local issues,” WOCA President Tom Elliott said last week. “In my opinion, we need to find a balance between not doing anything and just being social and trying to do too much so we pick one issue at a time. We picked crosswalks.”

WOCA member Kathy Hayman said she wants the organization to “get our point across” before someone gets injured” this summer.

“It’s kind of like a matter of time,” she said. “At any given time, you can see people crossing the street.”

Many people cross Route 50 to walk to the Park and Ride facility to get on a bus, Hayman said.

“We see more and more people trying to cross the streets,” she said.

Some members have been contacting businesses in the area to seek support for crosswalks and they are inviting Ken Cimino, assistant director of traffic for the State Highway Administration, to their fall meeting.

The SHA has installed brick-patterned crosswalks in Ocean City at highrisk intersections. Cimino told Ocean City Today last week that the SHA had “identified several half-mile corridors that are high risk, using a three-year av-

erage of pedestrian accidents from 2008, 2009 and 2010” for those new crosswalks in the resort.”

The SHA ordered a study of several locations in West Ocean City a couple of weeks ago to determine if crosswalks are warranted, Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners, said Monday.

The SHA will determine what should be done and if funding is available. Already, the SHA thinks crosswalks are needed at Route 50 and Route 611, at Route 50 and Golf Course Road and possibly one closer to the bridge, Church said.

In addition to crosswalks, the SHA looks at sidewalks and pedestrian pathways “to make sure everything connects together and make sense,” Elliott said.

The county, in conjunction with the state effort, is looking at what can be done on Golf Course Road to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists A white line has been put on the south side of Golf Course Road to designate an area for use by pedestrians and bicyclists, but putting one on the north side is more difficult because the county does not have the right of way.

Even though the current issue of concern is pedestrian safety, the West Ocean City Association wants to hear about other concerns about West Ocean City.

The WOCA does have some longerterm issues of concern that they are trying to coordinate. Those include navigation in the bay, the general health of the bay, restoration of the bay, the sandbars, and the channels.

“There seems to be a common interest,” Elliott said. “The state wants sandbars for habitat, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program wants healthy restoration, recreational boaters want to be able to navigate and businesses like marinas are interested in all. So that will be a longer term issue.”

Anyone interested in joining the WOCA or learning more about it are welcome at the group’s next social gathering, starting at 5 p.m. July 26, at Peppers in West Ocean City. Residents, property owners and businesses are welcome to join. The fee is $12.

City moves forward with last stage of Bdwk.project ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) You can’t always judge a book by its cover, but in the case of Ocean City’s iconic Boardwalk, such a perception is actually the intent.

The city recently issued a Request for Pricing order for the final stage of its long-awaited Boardwalk reconstruction project, a phase that will see a significant change to the walkway’s supporting structure while maintaining the appearance of its surface.

“I tell people that the way it was built was like a bridge and the way we’re going to build it now is like a railroad. It’s continuously supported by tracks instead of posts every 10 feet,” said City Engineer Terry McGean.

This most recent renovation began two years ago, with McGean and city Public Works Director Hal Adkins devising a multi-part plan to renovate the Boardwalk, including the replacement of all of its decking as well as rebuilding the substructure from North Division Street to 15th Street.

The support structure below North Division was rebuilt in 1999-2000 and is still strong, McGean said.

The previous two years have hence seen the substructure and decking north of 15th Street redone, as well as the decking south of Somerset Street. The final phase, which will take place over the upcoming off-season, will see Somerset to North Division’s decking replaced, and

Ocean City Boardwalk

both decking and substructure rebuilt from North Division to 15th Street.

At the beginning of the project, McGean and Adkins had proposed three options for the rebuilding – the first was to use traditional deep-set wooden poles, or pilings, as support for wooden decking.

The second option was to have the same decking, but use concrete base rails filled in with gravel as a substructure. The third option was to have a concrete-surfaced tram lane as part of the base, with wooden walkways mounted on either side.

The council decided on the second option, seeing the third as being aesthetically unpleasing but the first as being inefficient. The concrete base is expected to last 50 years, McGean said.

“I allows me to build it so that I can put a lot more load on it, and because of the sea wall you don’t have to worry about the scouring,” McGean said, explaining that the sea wall built in 1990 protects the sand behind it from washing out underneath the concrete.

The use of decking materials other than the traditional treated yellow pine has also been touched upon often in the past, but so far nothing has proved worthy. The main alternatives would be plastic imitation boards, or long-lasting tropical hardwood such as ipe.

“The synthetic stuff that looks decent aesthetically can’t take the load of the tram. And the stuff that can just looks like plastic and it’s more expensive,” said McGean. As far as hardwoods, “basically the expense and the environmental implications didn’t justify using them,” McGean said.

The city has, however, installed an experimental section of TimberSIL fiberimpregnated wood around 15th Street.

“It’s basically wood that’s soaked in a silica compound,” said McGean. The wood is currently wearing well, but its cost-effectiveness will not be confirmed for several years.

McGean will also be updating the nailing technology used, another inconspicuous but important upgrade to the traditional wood decking.

“We’ve looked at a lot of different fasteners and we found a nail gun nail that is an inch longer than the hand-hammered nails that we have used. It’s coated with an adhesive, but it does require a more powerful gun,” McGean said. “We tried screwing them [the boards] in, but if you look at a deck screw, the diameter gets very small where the head attaches to the shaft and we had problems with the top corroding off.”

Motives questioned and denied in municipal election date change lice Department could run for council while still working for the OCPD. The first issue is a legal doctrine known as “incompatible positions,” which “stands to the idea that you can’t be the employer and the employee at the same time,” Ayres said. “Technically, until Oct. 31, Dennis is still an employee of the town, as he gets benefits that are only available to town employees.”

“But I don’t know that that’s a definitive ‘no’ [to Dare running],” Ayres said. “I haven’t researched the issue as far as someone who is on the payroll but isn’t actually working.”

Further, Ayres said, the Maryland state constitution prohibits a person from holding two public offices of profit simultane-

4-3 vote, with President Hall and council members Margaret Pillas, Brent Ashley, and Joe Hall in support and council members Mary Knight, Doug Cymek, and Lloyd Martin opposed.

Dare was given a severance package that has him on the city’s payroll until Oct. 31, after which he will cease to collect a salary and enter the city’s pension pool.

Running for office while still in the pay of the municipality could present some legal hoops for Dare to jump through.

Ayres explained earlier this week that he saw two potential obstacles for Dare, both of which he had uncovered some time ago when investigating the possibility that Mark Paddack of the Ocean City Po-

ously. Again, Ayres cautioned, Dare’s status is murky as to whether he currently “holds” the office. “I think everyone can agree that he isn’t currently the city manager,” Ayres said.

“And on the constitutional side, there are some cases that say once you accepted the second office, you’re deemed to have resigned from the first one,” Ayres continued. “So you can run, I just don’t know what would happen if you won.”

On Tuesday, President Hall requested the same information of Ayres and seemed skeptical as to why the possibility had never come up before.

“You suggested that this candidate couldn’t run unless the date was changed … and we had an hour of discussion up

here [about the date change] and nobody mentioned this candidate or that you had talked to a lawyer,” Hall said.

Ayres confirmed that he had spoken with Dare’s attorney regarding any legal obstacles to his candidacy some months ago, but that the notion of changing the election date to occur after Dare was off the city’s payroll was never a topic.

Ayers also said he had told Dare that he was uncomfortable giving him any specific legal advice or opinions and only shared the information he had previously researched for Paddack’s potential candidacy.

“I don’t know anything about a plan to change the date because of Dennis. That has never been discussed with me,” Ayres said.

Hall replied, “I’m just concerned there’s a spark to all this … its curious to me that all the sudden there’s a rush to get this done and now Dennis is thinking about running.”

Pillas and Ashley had the same interpretation of the past weeks’ events.

“I’m very uncomfortable with somebody reaching back into government and deciding to manipulate the election,” Pillas said. “I’m not doubting that this [the sudden interest in changing the date] is Dennis trying to confuse the issue and get back into politics for revenge.”

Pillas also questioned the show of audience support at last Monday’s meeting, stating that it was her impression that many had been called and asked to attend on Dare’s behalf.

“I think it was skewed and now I’m doubting some of the calls I got … this was not a good representation of our voters,” she said. Pillas said she would rather see the date change issue go to referendum to get an accurate picture of public sentiment.

“I find it almost unbelievable here the sequence of events. I agree with Margaret that I’d like to see this going to referendum,” Ashley added.

Ashley then questioned Cymek about his recent push for the date change, despite having voted against it in the past.

“You don’t think it seems coincidental?” asked Ashley.

“Not at all,” Cymek responded. “The thing is, Dennis can run whether its October or November, correct, Guy?” “I think it’s an open question as to whether or not someone who’s still on the payroll can run,” Ayres answered. “If you ask 99 lawyers out of 100 about the doctrine [of incompatible positions] they’ll say they don’t know about it.”

“But to quote you through the last year [when Cymek had voted against the change], it’s about the ‘integrity of the process,’” Ashley continued to press Cymek. “So what’s the sudden rush?”

“I just put it out on the table,” said Cymek, in reference to his bringing up the topic of a date change at the June 18 council meeting, but declining to make a motion to bring it to formal discussion, only noting that he had received calls from voters asking for the change.

“All the previous 6-1 votes [over the past year, in which only Joe Hall supported the change], no one was calling you, and all the sudden you’re getting calls?” countered Ashley.

Election date shift final step OK’d Continued from Page 8

“I can’t recall an overwhelming number of calls before, but recently there was a groundswell,” answered Cymek.

“In all due respect, it would have to be a giant conspiracy [the Dare motive], and I just don’t think that could happen,” said Knight.

Cymek also criticized Joe Hall for questioning the motives of Cymek, Knight, and Martin’s changes of heart when his two “typical allies” of Jim Hall and Pillas had done the same about-face.

Hall seemed to be well aware of this catch, however, and said he would be voting to approve the meeting change and finalize the election switch despite his own reservations about motive.

“I’m going to make a motion to pass this. The date change has been made. The questions that are being asked here can be decided by the public out there,” Joe Hall said.

“Now that the date has changed, it’s a moot point. None of those issues matter

in terms of Dennis running?” he asked Ayres.

Ayres confirmed that Hall was correct.

“I’ve heard the words conspiracy theory and flip-flopping,” Joe Hall continued.

“That’s okay, the vote has been taken. Our job was to read that room and network with the public before last Monday’s meeting. To come in here today and decide that shouldn’t have happened because we didn’t get all the information … they [the voters] are the ones that have to flush it out, and they’ll probably do a better job of it than we did last Monday night.”

Pillas seemed to take offence to the suggestion that she and Jim Hall had somehow been duped. “You’re insinuating that people don’t do their work before meetings. I have every right to change my vote and I will,” she said.

However, the motion to change the winners’ organizational meeting date to correspond with the new election date passed, with Joe Hall, Cymek, Knight, and Martin in favor.

Tax credits spur enterprise zones Continued from Page 5

Badger, the county’s director of Economic Development, said in May that Pocomoke wanted the designation reinstated to help further economic development there. The town of Berlin has had a 1,134-acre enterprise zone for several years.

The designation of an enterprise zone

helps attract businesses – and generate jobs — because they entail tax credits.

The state Department of Assessment and Taxation shows that businesses in the state’s enterprise zones received property tax credits totaling $38.1 million in fiscal year 2012, based on businesses’ investment of more than $3 billion.

OC first stop for 2012 Dew Tour; free admission every day Resort to host beach event Aug. 16-19; events include Skate Bowl and BMX Vert BRANDI MELLINGER ■ Managing Editor (July 13, 2012) This time last year, much of the buzz about town was the upcoming Dew Tour.

Ocean City, the Tour’s first beachfront venue, edged out Virginia Beach for the privilege of hosting the “Pantech Open,” held July 21-24. It was first of four events on last season’s tour.

Competitions, including the Tour’s first-ever surfing event, took place on the beach in downtown Ocean City and attracted a record-breaking 73,000 fans, making it the highest attended Dew Tour event since the extreme sports competition began in 2005.

The July 21 competitions were free to attend, and the festival village — featuring event sponsors, merchandise, prizes, giveaways and autograph signings by the athletes — was open to the public during each of the four days.

Tickets were required to enter the park, set up on the beach just north of the pier and stretching to Caroline Street, to watch the competitions dur-

ing the remaining three days of the 2011 event.

The buzz this time around? It’s all free.

The Aug. 16-19 Dew Tour Beach Event, the first of three Tour stops, will feature competitions in Skate Vert, BMX Vert, Skate Bowl, BMX Park, Skate Legends Bowl, BMX Mega 2.0, Skate Mega 2.0 and Surf. Each will be free and open to the public on a firstcome, first served basis.

“It was the Dew Tour’s decision to make the event free to fans; it just happened to fall within our ‘Summer of Thanks’ season and all of the great free events we are offering to our visitors this summer,” Donna Abbott, Ocean City’s tourism and marketing director, said this week.

As part of its 2012 “Summer of Thanks” campaign, the town is offering “freebies and discounts” from resort shops, restaurants and attractions. According to the town’s Web site, www.ococean.com, where promotions are listed, “It’s just a little something for the people who love our town as much as we do.”

Bowl event and took top honors in the Skate Vert competition.

The action from Ocean City will be showcased across 11 broadcast hours on NBC and NBC Sports Network and an all-new digital platform with live streaming plus exclusive behind the scenes and in-depth content on dewtour.com.

(July 13, 2012) The statewide school testing formula changed, but the local results did not, as Worcester County public schools continued to score at or near the top.

The Maryland State Department of Education’s July 10 release of 2012 Maryland School Assessment (MSA) results showed that local public school students continue to be among the highest-performing in the state.

Overall, 94.4 percent of the county’s students scored at proficient or advanced levels on the 2012 MSA, with over half scoring at the advanced levels in both reading and mathematics.

At the elementary and middle school levels, student scores exceeded state averages in both reading and mathematics. At the elementary school level, the state average for students scoring proficient on the 2012 MSA in reading was 88.2 percent, while elementary school students in this county scored 95.5 percent. In mathematics, the state average at the elementary school level was 87.7 percent, while local students scored at 95.3 percent.

Similar results were realized at the middle school level. The state average for middle school students scoring proficient on the 2012 MSA in reading was 82.1 percent, while the county’s middle school students scored 91.8 percent. In mathematics, the state average at the middle school level was 76.2 percent, while county students scored at 93.6 percent.

“When we compare the overall performance of our students in 2012 with last year’s results,� said Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson, “we continue to see progress at the highest levels. This demonstrates that regardless of education reforms at the federal and state levels, when we focus on the success of the individual child, coupled with preparing each student for college and beyond, student growth will progress.

We commend our teachers, administrators, and staff for staying focused on what really matters: our students.�

Wilson was referring to education reforms recently implemented in Maryland, and approved federally, that affect how student academic growth is calculated and reported. In May, the United States Department of Education announced that Maryland was one of eight states to be granted a flexibility waiver from some of the more controversial components of the No Child Left Behind legislation. “The changes have melded some of the previous requirements ‌ with the new expectations associated with Race to the Top and the Common Core,â€? said Wilson. “It is like changing lanes on the highway.

Right now we are easing into the (Race to the Top) passing lane, being keenly aware of both lanes, while staying focused on what is most important: the future success of our students.�

One of the most notable changes involves the “Adequate Yearly Progress� status. Under No Child Left Behind act, the school system, each school, each grade

"

level, and each sub-group had to achieve the same level of improvement in order to claim adequate progress from one year to the next.

Failure of any group to do that would require schools to implement a number of improvements throughout. In addition, as schools approached the 2014 mandate of 100-percent student proficiency, the department of education recognized that fewer schools would be deemed successful, despite performing at high levels.

As a result, the state Department of Education’s release of the 2012 MSA results no longer identifies annual yearly progress.

In place of that progress measurement this year is a “measurable objective,� said Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Dr. John Gaddis. That objective must be met each year, but rather than considering every level in the school system as one, this standard considers how well each tested level performed as compared to the year before.

Showing improvement, however, isn’t easy for schools whose students have already reached into the highest percentiles. “Having earned the number-one ranking in the state in seven of the 12 indicators associated with the 2011 MSA in grades three through eight, the situation is very different, Gaddis said of the local system’s circumstances. “As a top-performing school system in the state,� he said, “many of our schools and subgroups were already in the 98 and See COUNTY on Page 15

Superintendent Lowery starts term (July 13, 2012) Dr. Lillian M. Lowery last week began her term as Maryland State Superintendent of Schools. She takes the helm of the nation’s top-ranked state school system following nearly three years as Delaware Secretary of Education. She succeeds Interim State Superintendent Bernard J. Sadusky, who becomes executive director of the Maryland Association of Community Colleges.

The state board confirmed Lowery’s appointment in April, and she has signed a four-year contract as state superintendent.

Lowery has already started scheduling a series of public meetings to listen and learn from education, parent, civic, legislative and other public and stakeholder groups.

“Maryland has an outstanding education system, and I am looking forward to working with its wonderful educators as we continue to move the state in a positive direction,” said Lowery. “Our goal is to make certain our schools prepare all of our children for the needs of the 21st century, focused on excellence, equity, and efficiency. The world demands it, and our children deserve no less.”

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said Maryland schools are poised to continue their improvement under Lowery’s leadership.

“I am pleased that Dr. Lowery has officially joined us as Maryland’s new state superintendent of schools,” he said. “We welcome her and look forward to building upon the progress we’ve made for our state’s No. 1 ranked public school system.

Together, we can give our children the tools they need to build a better future.”

Lowery has worked in various educational institutions and programs since 1976. She has been Secretary of Education in the state of Delaware since 2009. Prior to serving as the in that position, she was the superintendent in Christina School District in New Castle County, Del., for three years. She has served as an assistant superintendent in Fairfax County, Va., and an area administrator in Fort Wayne, Ind. Lowery holds a Doctorate of Education in educational leadership and policy studies from Virginia Polytechnic and State University, as well as a Masters of Education in curriculum and instruction from the University of North Carolina, and a Bachelor of Arts in English and secondary education from North Carolina Central University.

Sadusky served as interim state superintendent since July 1, 2011. He replaced Dr. Nancy S. Grasmick, who retired in 2011 after 20 years as state superintendent of schools.

Section 106-92 of the city code defines a “boogie board,” which is permitted on beaches during peak summer hours, as being no more than 3.5 feet long and 2 feet wide and not having any fins or “skegs.” Anything larger, or finned, is considered a surfboard, the use of which is prohibited in all but specifically designated areas from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. along the city’s beaches from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and specifically along Boardwalk-adjacent beaches from May 1 to Sept. 30.

The city has a rotating surfing beach schedule that limits summer daytime surfboard use to two select areas, which change daily, as well as a section of the inlet on weekdays only.

Gerachis said many people, particularly youngsters who are learning to surf, often use oversized bodyboards that allow them either to lie down and stand up. Many of these are longer than the city code allows. Some such boards are shaped like traditional “boogie boards,” while others are more streamlined to allow young riders to practice standing up. These are often referred to as “beaters” after the “Beater” brand board popularized in California. Sold by the Catch Surf company, the original “Beater Board” is 54 inches long.

“We have a lot of young kids who use these to learn how to surf, local kids

who can’t get to the surf beach. And even if they could, they can’t use the ‘beaters’ on the surf beach [where real surfboards are required],” Gerachis said.

“My thing has always been that local kids who want to get into this need to be able to walk to a beach, daily, to practice, and they haven’t been able to do that in Ocean City for a long time,” Gerachis continued.

The source of the sudden enforcement has yet to be determined. Ocean City Beach Patrol Lt. Ward Kovacs, the OCBP’s only year-round employee, said Wednesday night that OCBP Capt.

Butch Arbin reminded guards during Monday morning’s briefing that any boards over 42 inches were prohibited.

“The guards are enforcing the code as written,” said Kovacs. “We don’t have the authority to change a code or ignore one.”

Several city council members have also voiced concern about the sudden policy shift.

“Without consulting the council on any policy change, it looks like the Beach Patrol was instructed to begin enforcing a ban on these bigger boards,” said Councilman Joe Hall. “David [Recor, the City Manager] responded to council late last night that he would be addressing it in a staff meeting today. So we expect to be getting some clarification sometime today, and I’m sure it’ll be a topic on Monday night.”

City administrators confirmed as of

press time Thursday afternoon that Recor was currently in a meeting with Arbin and Parks and Recreation Director Tom Shuster to discuss the issue.

Gerachis was concerned about what he saw as an undue limiting of locals’ freedoms in the name of promoting tourism. “We let the cruisers, the hot rods, the bike show come to town and raise a ruckus and run people over because it satiates the hotel numbers, but the rest get shafted,” he said.

Gerachis also pointed to the city’s reluctance to confront street performers as symptomatic of the same. “I have to listen to 19 different excruciating renditions of Adele by some street performer who came in from Kentucky, but I’m supposed to believe that kids practicing surfing are the big nuisance?”

Hall said he and others were looking towards some sort of compromise policy. “Hopefully we can ease some of the criteria to allow everyone to use the ocean for any activity,” he said. “It [surfing and body boarding] is a positive activity for the kids and it shouldn’t be discouraged.”

Harrison pointed out that Malibu’s had coincidentally just begun stocking the “Answer” board, a product of Berlinbased surfer and artist Chris Willey that is similar to the “beater.”

“It’s ironic that we just got these in almost the day they began cracking down,” Harrison said. “It’s a product from a local kid and I would be pushing these otherwise.”

No blame for enforcing a law that’s on the books Don’t be too hard on new City Manager David Recor over the sudden imposition of the old regulation governing the allowable size of bodyboards that can be used in the surf.

Neither should anyone conclude that the Ocean City Beach Patrol has any role in this other than following the directions they have been given. This is a situation that can best be described as just one of those things.

Someone complains, a regulation exists that directly addresses that complaint and the wheels simply roll on from that point. Recor could hardly know which of the thousands of regulations and laws on the local books are routinely enforced or routinely ignored.

Take, for instance, the rule about being on the beach after a certain nighttime hour. This is one of those “good judgment” provisions that can be used if people are sleeping on the beach, are gathering there for late-night shenanigans or are simply up to no good.

Meanwhile, no one is going to tell a surf angler that he or she can’t fish the incoming tide under a full moon at 2 a.m. if he or she so chooses. It’s as if the Ocean City’s code has areas where an unspoken principle is at work: “These laws may or may not apply, depending on the circumstances.”

Such is the situation with the bodyboard size restriction.

Had no one called City Hall with a problem, the law might have remained unnoticed for years.

But such was not the case. Recor, or someone with authority above the beach patrol management level, got the call, read the law and did what it said. No one can blame officials for doing what the law requires.

The one remedy, should anyone want to seek one, would be for the City Council to change the law. The process isn’t that involved. On the other hand, this will probably go away on its own after a little time passes and everything will return to the way it was.

The downside of that approach, however, is that bodyboarders and their families need to be given a heads up when that happens.

Pleased with OC council compromise Editor, It was refreshing to see something that hasn’t happened at the OC Council chambers in almost two years — a compromise. The compromise actually started a few weeks ago when council members [Doug] Cymek, [Mary] Knight and [Lloyd] Martin changed their position on merging the municipal and national elections.

But this week it was determined by the city attorney that there would be a lot of “red tape” in making the combined ballot a reality this November. That’s when the idea was discussed of simply changing the municipal election to the date of the national election, but with different polling areas.

At that point, Council President Jim Hall and Council member [Margaret] Pillas compromised their stance of keeping the seperate election dates and voted with council members Cymek, Knight and Martin to have both elections at the same time.

A very responsible move by all five council members, and [one that] definitely was the consensus of the citizens in the crowd that night.

It was disappointing, however, to see Joe Hall not vote for this change. Especially since he has always been the one council member pushing for a merged election. He was unwilling to compromise his opinion of hav-

ing one ballot in favor of having one date with two different ballots. Fortunately, though, his vote was not needed.

Hopefully, the decision that the five members made will have the positive result that is desired — more people voting in the municipal election.

Supportive of smoking ban on OC beach Editor, Kudos to our elected officials in Ocean City for re-introducing the topic of a smoking ban on our beaches. As I recall, this past January is when it was mentioned in a local newspaper that 69,000 butts had been collected in the provided cans throughout Ocean City beaches and I was happy to read about Mayor [Rick] Meehan’s wanting to move forward with a plan to restrict smoking activity on beaches.

I have been a resident of Ocean City for eight years in the midtown area and I agree that by far, the vast majority of garbage/trash that lay visible in the sand and on our beach is cigarette packs and cigarette butts.

Most smokers think nothing of just burying their finished butts in the sand. Some smokers are considerate and collect their butts in a good receptacle; however, this is definitely the minority smoker.

Additionally, I doubt that most beach goers who smoke on the

beach and carelessly bury or toss their butts in the sand just don’t come to terms and or think about the fact that much work on a daily basis during season is needed to help maintain our beaches, including cleaning up countless cigarette butts buried in the sand because of careless smokers who pay no mind to how they extinguish their butts.

Thank you, Mayor Meehan, for offering to “kick butt” on this.

Where is program incentive?

Editor, I am writing in response to your editorial in the July 6 edition of the Bayside Gazette. In this editorial dealing with the SC Johnson Green Recycling Challenge, you asked this question: “Has SC Johnson found the answer?”

Ironically, you answered this question two paragraphs earlier with this statement: “Without incentives, why do the extra work just to throw trash away?”

This program does not give an incentive to the individual since the individual will not personally get any of the reward. The individual’s community is also not guaranteed to receive anything.

So, again, where is the incentive for someone to do extra work for [something] that might not even benefit that individual, even if the Continued on Page 21

By Stewart Dobson “Something’s going to happen.”

That’s the expression my brother employs when, frustrated by attempts to accomplish a particular household task through accepted practices and standards, he is about to resort to unconventional measures that may or may not produce the desired results.

Undesirable results would include, but are not limited to, explosions, total electrical failure and burning down the house. Although he has never done these things — well, most of them, anyway — this approach would be akin to using a nine-pound hammer to drive an upholstery tack that, for reasons unknown, has consistently refused to cooperate.

One possible outcome is that the tack may go into place and leave only a minor dent in the furniture, while another possibility is that both the tack and the chair someday will emerge in China, having survived the long journey through the center of the earth.

No one knows what the result will be, other than, “Something’s going to happen.”

I say this because I have a computer server problem that neither its manufacturer nor the people who recommended it are willing to fix. I suspect it’s because they failed to disclose a warning label on this machine that says, “Beware, this server and all its associated parts were created by the Devil.”

I say that’s taking outsourcing too far, but back to the server problem: it doesn’t work. As would be expected of anything that doesn’t work, this particular device chose to not to work shortly after the time limit to return it had expired.

And that’s assuming the seller even would take it back rather than direct us instead to the place of its manufacture, which, as previously noted, would be hell.

Since that’s the case, we have decided that we will do something that the manufacturer advises against, which would be taking the thing apart and fiddling with it. There’s a specific “no-fiddle” clause in the warranty, but I also know that the Devil is prone to saying things just to cause us more trouble.

That said, we are replacing one part with a much bigger, faster and better part, the compatibility of which is questionable. Maybe it will work and then again maybe not. I figure, considering the source of this infernal machine, that there is a chance in hell that it will.

All I know for certain is that something’s going to happen.

community receives the grant?

Look at how many “fights” over projects and their funding have occurred in Ocean Pines in the last five to 10 years alone, and you can see why someone might not be thrilled with the way such a grant might be spent.

If Worcester County and the state of Maryland were truly serious about having a successful recycling program, and not a perceived but never realized cash cow, they would do what California was doing when I was stationed in San Diego — pay the individual in cash for his trash.

When I was stationed in San Diego, you could take your plastics, aluminum cans and green and clear glass to a privately operated recycling point. There, you unloaded those materials into wire bins and the staff would weigh them.

Posted next to the scales were the prices

they were paying for each type of material by weight. After all your material was weighed, you went to the cash window and they handed you the money for your recyclables. The operators of the recycling point then sold those materials and made a profit.

Besides recycling points such as that, you could take your 2-liter soda bottles and aluminum cans to your local grocery store to be recycled. Sitting next to the Coke and Pepsi machines in front of the store would be two machines that accepted those materials. You would feed the bottles and cans into these machines and when done, the machine would print out a receipt. You would take that receipt into the store and go to the customer service desk and they would pay you the amount you were owed. The store would then sell the recyclables and make a profit.

In both cases, the individual got a

tangible benefit for recycling and a incentive to do more. To see what a successful program looks like, visit the California site, www.calrecycle.ca.gov.

As to the SC Johnson program, it is not designed to get someone that is not already recycling to start. It is designed to bring SC Johnson good PR and nothing else. This is something well known as “Greenwashing” and the definition of which is readily found on Wikipedia.

A foul weather shelter was recently erected at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.

Foul weather shelter erected (July 13, 2012) Anyone who has ever biked to the beach at Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia may have been caught in one of Assateague’s fast moving rain showers.

Acting upon the requests from visitors and Chincoteague’s business community, the National Park Service has erected a foul weather shelter to provide cover for visitors caught in inclement weather. The 32-foot by 12-foot structure is located at the end of Beach Road near the parking lots, and comfortably offers protection for a minimum of 40 people. It is constructed of aluminum framing, tinted polycarbon glass, stainless steel base and pressure treated decking, and is also equipped with lightning protection.

For convenience, bike racks are located

immediately adjacent to the shelter.

In keeping with sustainable design practices on the island, the foul weather shelter can be moved to a safer location for temporary storage during extreme weather events such as hurricanes or Nor’easters.

The Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is a popular destination for cyclists and beachcombers due to its proximity to the town of Chincoteague. Refuge visitors who bike to the beach may also enjoy the several miles of bike and hike trails that are available. Cyclists and pedestrians entering the Refuge are not required to pay an entrance fee.

(July 13, 2012) A 21-year-old Takoma Park man was sentenced last week to four years in prison for his participation in a brutal assault in Ocean City in July 2011.

“It was a merciless beating,” Judge Richard Bloxom said in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on July 5 after a jury found Jonathan Idan Lopez guilty of first- and second-degree assault, disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment. “Only by the grace of God, the victim was not hurt more seriously than he was.”

The victim, Anderson Rosa of Takoma Park, suffered serious injuries to the right side of his forehead, his left eye area, his mouth and lip.

Rosa and his wife, Angela, were in the resort for the Fourth of July holiday weekend and went with friends to Seacrets on 48th Street on the evening of July 3. They parked in the large parking lot at the 45th Street Village.

When they left Seacrets at closing time, Angela Rosa and her friend lagged behind Anderson Rosa because they were eating pizza. Turning around, he saw a group of men talking to Angela, so he went to tell them that she was his wife.

“Words started going back and forth,” he told the court.

Anderson Rosa said he was not intend-

ing to fight, but someone threw a punch at him and he threw a punch in self-defense. He saw two beer bottles, someone pulled his hair and then someone hit him with a bottle and somehow his tooth went through his lip.

“Then I went to the ground,” he said.

Angela Rosa testified that she saw a bottle in Lopez’ hand and that he “and another man were stomping him on his back, his head and kicking him in the side.”

She said she was “100 percent certain” that Lopez hit her husband with a bottle and stomped him. She threw her purse at the attackers to try to get them to stop the attack.

“I thought he was dead,” she testified.

“There was blood everywhere and he wasn’t moving.”

When Sgt. Shawn Jones arrived at the scene, he saw Rosa on the ground, “in and out of consciousness.”

Lopez had picked up Angela Rosa’s purse and he and the other men who attacked her husband had left in their vehicle when they heard the siren of Jones’ police car approaching. Angela Rosa gave Jones a description of the men and their vehicle. Driving toward the scene, Officer Ryan Flanagan spotted the car and tried to stop it, but the driver kept driving, eventually parking at a condominium.

Councilman seeks financial info, changes at condominium NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) Ocean City Councilman Brent Ashley has filed a civil lawsuit against the board of directors and the Council of Unit Owners of the condominium association where he lives.

Ashley contends that the board and council members of the Stone Harbor Condominium Association have been negligent in financial matters and that some unit owners have not paid their association dues. All unit owners are members of the Council of Unit Owners.

The three-story condominium, built in 1984 at 901 Philadelphia Avenue, has 16 two-bedroom, one-bath units. Only two unit owners, Ashley and Dianne E. Brought, the condominium association treasurer, live there full time. Ashley has lived there for eight years, but has owned two units for more than eight years. His sizable investment in the units is the basis for filing the lawsuit, he said Tuesday.

The condominium association meets yearly and Ashley has brought up his concerns about the financial records and financial stability and his desire for the use of correct procedures. His words “fell on deaf ears,” he said.

Ashley was a member of the condominium’s board of directors until April.

“They had a special meeting and they voted me off,” he said. “Because I was causing problems.”

He also said he has not had any re-

sponse or reactions to his lawsuit since it was filed June 28 in Circuit Court in Snow Hill.

Ashley contends in the suit that Brought has not paid dues since becoming the condominium association treasurer. Those dues are believed to be $12,840. He alleges that another unit owner, Ernest Kerbe Jr., has not paid a portion of his dues since becoming president of the association. He is believed to owe $1,200. A third unit owner, Kenneth P. Jones reportedly did not pay a portion of his dues while serving as the association’s president. He is believed to owe $3,600.

Failure to pay dues “has jeopardized the Association’s ability to pay its expenses,” the lawsuit states. It also argues that the “current dues status of the unit owners cannot be determined from the Association’s records, nor can it be deter-

mined if any owner is delinquent in his/her dues payments. The records are haphazardly kept.”

The lawsuit also claims the board of directors breached its fiduciary duty, that the association’s yearly deposits and disbursements are kept on handwritten spreadsheets and that there has never been a proposed condominium budget.

The suit alleges that a budget has not ever been submitted to the unit owners at least 30 days before its adoption, as required by the condominium’s bylaws.

Ashley also contends that a reserve account is not funded each year and therefore, the condominium association lacks the funds needed to cover expenses for future capital improvements.

“The ‘budget’ is being depleted each year to the point where the already inadequate reserve funds are being raided by the treasurer to pay for normal operating

expenses,” the lawsuit states. “The Board and the Association refuses to acknowledge the need for, or create, an adequate reserve fund. There has never been an audit of the Association Account by a Certified Public Accountant.”

The condominium’s bylaws state that the annual budget must provide for reserves and that the books and records must be audited by an independent certified public accountant at the end of each fiscal year. The bylaws also state that the association must furnish its members with an annual financial statement including its income and disbursements.

The lawsuit asks the court to declare that the board of directors and the Council of Unit Owners have breached their duty by not safeguarding association funds and to appoint a receiver to take control of the association’s finances.

POLICE BRIEFS

DUI and more Ocean City police issued more than 60 traffic citations to a 43-year-old Greenwood, Del., man after he was involved in several collisions from 20th Street to 28th Street on July 9.

Police were in the area of 28th Street and Coastal Highway when they saw a truck being driven on its rims. At Michael Hall the same time, Ocean City police communications received numerous calls about a vehicle matching the description of the truck being involved in collisions.

The driver, Michael Keith Hall, got out of the truck after being stopped by police on Robin Drive. Police said Hall admitted he was under the influence of alcohol.

Ocean City Today Officers learned that Hall had an outstanding warrant for his arrest through the state of Delaware. During their conversation with him, Hall reportedly made several threats, stating he would kill or “snipe” police. Officers searched Hall’s truck and located a rifle, a pistol holder with blanks, binoculars, a spotting scope and several knives, according to the press release issued by the police department.

Hall was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by alcohol and negligent driving. In addition, police issued more than 60 traffic citations in reference to failing to stop after an accident, failure to return and remain at the scene of an accident, reckless driving and speeding.

His trial is scheduled for Sept. 7, in District Court in Ocean City.

Police seek assistance The Ocean City Police Department is

asking the public’s assistance in locating the man who allegedly attempted a sexual assault at about 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday, June 26, in the area of 4200 Coastal Highway.

On that date, police met with the female victim who said she was walking home when a man she did not know started talking to her. Shortly thereafter, he pushed her into the bushes and tried to sexually assault her. During the attack, the victim fought him and caused a significant injury to his ear.

The suspect is a white man, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing approximately 170 pounds and he is in his mid-20s to early 30s. Police believe he would have a visible injury to his ear.

Anyone with information about the incident or the suspect is asked to contact Detective N. Simpson at the police department’s Criminal Investigation Division at 410-520-5349. Callers may remain anonymous.

was unable to detain all of its occupants.

“Some of the occupants ran away,” Flanagan said.

He did detain four, however, including Lopez, Oscar Segovia, 23, of Hyattsville, and Henry Sorto, 23, of Beltsville.

Flanagan testified that he saw Lopez throw a purse to another man and that when he ordered the men to get on the ground, Lopez “advised me he doesn’t go to the ground for anybody.”

He noted that some of the men, including Lopez, had injuries. When Lopez testified, he said four of his friends went to Seacrets, but he was barred from entering because he was underage. Because of that, he and two other friends went to the beach, where they wrestled and that’s where he got the scratches, he said. The group reconnected after Seacrets closed.

Their car was parked at 45th Street and in that parking lot, Anderson Rosa drove near them, rolled down the window of his car and yelled at them, Lopez testified.

Rosa then got out of his car and started the fight by yelling.

Lopez testified that he saw his friend, Henry Sorto, throw a punch and he saw another friend with two bottles in his hands and “smashed them against the victim’s face.” He said he was about 15 feet away from the group fighting. He then saw a man run to a vehicle and open the

door as if to get something from inside.

“I thought the worst,” testified Lopez, who added that he then ran to Segovia’s car.

The jury did not believe Lopez was an innocent bystander and returned guilty verdicts on each of four charges against him.

Before the sentencing, Lopez’ father told Judge Bloxom that his son was good boy and a good father who was “with the wrong friends, wrong time, wrong day.”

Jonathan Lopez, his father said, was a hand-working man who took care of his girlfriend and her 4-year-old child.

Lopez’ public defender, Angela Huffman, said, “It is what it is. He’s just as responsible as the others.”

Bloxom then sentenced Lopez to four years behind bars and said the light sentence was because of his young age at the time of the crime. Lopez must serve at least two years in prison before being eligible for parole. He must also pay a $500 fine and $170 in court costs and he must make restitution of $2,187 jointly with Segovia and Sorto.

The two other men charged in the fight pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.

Segovia pleaded guilty Feb. 7. His sentencing is scheduled for July 13.

Sorto pleaded guilty Jan. 5. He was sentenced to three years incarceration, with two years suspended. After his release from jail, he will be on supervised probation for two years and must pay a $500 fine.

(July 13, 2012) A custodian at the church where Nicole Bennett worked was charged with her murder last week, ending an investigation that began on June 15 after her body was found along a ditch embankment in a sparsely populated area of Worcester County.

Matthew Burton, 28, M. Burton of Dagsboro, Del. was charged on July 6 with murdering the 35-year-old mother of three girls, although police said the investigation is continuing.

Police do know, however, that Bennett was working late at Bay Shore Community Church in Gumboro, Del., on June 14. She had missed work that day because her youngest daughter was ill. Her husband was with the girls while she worked, but she called home to say she would be working late and planned to stop by a grocery store before going home.

Expecting his wife to arrive home, Kevin Bennett, fell asleep early on the couch. The next morning, he realized she had not come home and called police.

Just about one hour later, a hiker found her body in a ditch embankment on

Swamp Road, a dirt road with little traffic and few residents. Her body was found about six miles from the non-denominational church.

An autopsy at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore determined Bennett was murdered and had been asphyxiated.

Autopsy evidence also indicated she was dead when her body was left in the embankment.

After the discovery of her body, Delaware State Police found Bennett’s vehicle parked on the church lot. It was locked with her personal belongings inside. Police learned she had not been alone at the church and that Burton, was also there.

Burton, who was a sex offender but not required to register because he was a tier one offender, was fired from his job at the church the next day. The termination was not unexpected. He had been given two week’s notice that his employment was being terminated, said Elena Russo, the Maryland State Police spokeswoman, on Tuesday.

Burton was interviewed by investigators, who also interviewed family members, friends, coworkers and acquaintances.

Investigators also sought video surveillance footage from area businesses See BENNETT on Page 31

Pocomoke man guilty in ax attack NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (July 13, 2012) The Pocomoke man who threatened his wife with an ax in February was found guilty Wednesday of second-degree assault.

Jon Carlton Dykes did not testify in his own defense and his wife invoked the marital privilege and declined to testify against him. They have been married approximately two years.

Two women who were in the Dykes residence told the judge what they heard and saw in the early morning hours of Feb. 29.

Anna Robertson of Ocean Pines was at the house because she had accompanied the couple to a local pub, where an argument started. The argument continued at the house and escalated.

According to Robertson, Dykes hit his wife and she went to the floor in the living room. The fight continued on the bed in the bedroom, where he had “sort of dragged her,” Robertson testified.

Because of the traumatic nature of the incident and because everyone seemed to be screaming, Robertson was unable to recall what Dykes might have said to his wife.

Robertson called police, but Dykes had left before they arrived. He returned later and the women inside would not let him in the front door. He tried getting in through the back door, but Robertson had used the chain lock and he was unable to unhook it.

“He came back with an ax and busted the door in that way,” Robertson said.

6 - 2/

“He came at her and they ended up on the ground with it,” she said of the incident, which she described as “pretty traumatic.”

The couple started fighting with the ax to get control.

According to Sandra Bradford of Salisbury, who was at the house and finishing her shift caring for the wife’s son, the wife remained on the floor with her hands on the ax while she kept telling her husband to leave. When Bradford told Dykes that the police were coming, “he let go, stepped over her, walked through the door and left,” she testified.

Tpr. J. Brant testified that when he went to the house the first time, Dykes was not there. When he responded to the second call, approximately two hours later, he saw that the back door was broken, blood was around the doorframe, broken items were on the porch and the front screen door was damaged. Again, Dykes was not there.

Detective Alex Kagan of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation also went to the house, where he encountered the victim. He described her as “physically and emotionally upset.”

Groton acquitted Dykes of first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and unlawful detention, but he found him guilty of second-degree assault. He ordered a pre-sentence investigation.

Dykes was paroled from prison in February 2005 after serving time in prison.

He was convicted in 1987 of second-degree murder.

Counterfeit bills found in resort (July 13, 2012) The Ocean City Police Department is warning residents, business owners and employees to be on the alert for counterfeit currency, following a report last Friday that two male youths in their late teens attempted to pass counterfeit bills at three Boardwalk businesses.

Police said the first incident too place at about 7:40 p.m. at a shop where the men tried to make a small purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill. Employees there recognized the counterfeit currency and denied the sale, at which time the men fled the area.

Two more attempts were made by the pair, one at approximately 10:54 p.m. and the other at 11:10 p.m. In both instances, the employees detected the counterfeit bill by using a counterfeit pen.

The Ocean City Police Department asks for the public’s assistance in locating the men who attempted to pass the bogus bills. The suspects are described as two African-American males. One had short, black hair and was wearing a gray shirt

and blue pants. He was believed to be approximately 17-years-old and approximately 5 feet, 7 inches tall.

The second person had long, black braided hair, pulled back into a ponytail, and was wearing a black shirt. He had a dark complexion and was believed to be approximately 17 years old and approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall.

Anyone with information about this incident, or the people involved, should contact the Ocean City Police Department at 410-723-6600.

In addition, police encourage citizens to closely examine the money they receive. Citizens should be aware of the security features located on currency.

The three main security features on bills are shifting inks on the number, security threads, which display the denomination of the currency imbedded in the bill and the watermark of the main image on the face of the bill located on the right side of note.

His extradition hearing is scheduled for early August.

Investigators have not yet confirmed the scene of the initial crime, Russo said, and they have yet to establish a motive for the crime.

A memorial service was held for Bennett at Bay Shore Community Church, but she was buried in Nebraska, where she lived before her marriage. She was laid to rest next to her sister, who died in a motor vehicle accident several years ago.

Local project benefits ‘Little Dresses for Africa,’needy youth

(July 13, 2012) Barbara Entwistle started making dresses from pillowcases for girls in Africa with a local Girl Scout troop last August and since then has seen the project grown tremendously.

The group was researching service projects and the idea of making pillowcase dresses came up. Entwistle, the adult volunteer leader of the Girl Scout troop, downloaded the pattern and they began making dresses.

“This all started with one dress last August,” she said.

With the assistance of some other people, they were able to make approximately 70 dresses in about one month. In September, Entwistle sent the dresses to Rachel Alexander O’Neill, founder of Little Dresses for Africa, a nonprofit Christian organization established in 2007 that distributes dresses made of pillowcases throughout many parts of Africa.

Entwistle started holding sewing parties at her home in Berlin and around the area at libraries, Girl Scout meetings and church groups. They put together a kit that included the dress pattern and everything needed to create the outfit, and sent it to a group of five women on Smith Island.

They went on to make 113 dresses in just two months.

Pillowcase dresses easy to sew, greatly benefit young girls Continued from Page 33

There is also a group of women who Entwistle calls on to make dresses. She is always looking to add to that group, she said. Women, and men, interested in joining can call Entwistle at 410-6410415 or e-mail bbwistle@intercom.net.

Melanie Perdue Metzger saw one of the dresses in Entwistle’s daughter’s store, Go Organic, in Berlin, and wanted to help.

In February, Metzger, a registered nurse who lives in Berlin, was traveling to Haiti — she had gone there in May 2011 to assists with a Cholera outbreak and took 12 finished dresses with her as well as 16 small, 15 medium and 14 large dress kits and 13 kits with one step completed.

Included were scissors, sewing needles, safety pins, extra spools of thread and buttons. She visited Morgan Wienberg, founder of Little Footprints, Big Steps, an organization dedicated to building a child protection safe house for Haitian children in desperate need of shelter, food, education and love.

Men, women and children were taught how to make the dresses.

About two months later, Metzger traveled to Dominican Republic on a mission trip and brought eight small, 25 medium and six large dresses with her as well as 116 kits to make different size dresses.

In addition to the pillowcase dresses, she also collected personal hygiene items for all the impoverished, displaced or orphaned children in both of those areas.

Metzger said she plans to travel to a remote town in Haiti in September and will again take dresses and personal hygiene products.

“This program has grown really fast,” Metzger said. “It’s been a whirlwind. Ladies are stitching and sewing as fast as they can.”

Today, July 13, from 5-8 p.m. at Go Organic on Artisan’s Way in the parking lot off Main Street in downtown Berlin, Entwistle and Metzger will be collecting donations of pillowcases, assorted buttons, half or one-fourth inch elastic and double-fold wide bias tape.

They are also looking for donations of vitamins, particularly Vitamins A, C and iron, soap, combs, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

A female officer from the Wicomico County Juvenile Detention Center will be dropping off dresses detainees have made. Entwistle will also be sewing dresses during the event and visitors can see how they are made. Pictures from several sewing parties and Metzger’s trips delivering the dresses will be on display.

Dresses will also be featured and some will be for sale this evening. The cost is $10 each, with proceeds benefiting the program.

(July 13, 2012) A recent incident of overcrowding at a downtown apartment is just one of a recent rash of student housing issues, in what local activists say is one of the worst summers they can remember in terms of the city’s accommodations for foreign work-travel visitors.

“We have a possible notice of overcrowding, but we haven’t been able to confirm,” said Ocean City’s Chief Building Inspector Kevin Brown. Due to the fact that no formal charges have been issued, the owner and location of the rental in question will remain anonymous.

However, the former residents of the apartment – six Irish students who are in Ocean City on J-1 work-travel visas – confirmed that city building inspectors had visited their residence Wednesday night and stated that the rental was unfit for six people.

According to the students, the inspectors had measured the single-room unit at just shy of 300 square feet, plus the space of the bathroom. They were provided with two bunk beds, each featuring a single-width bed on the top and a double-width bed on the bottom.

Rick Fairbend of Ocean City’s Irish Outreach center, a service organization funded by the Irish Apostolate USA, also said that he had measured the space personally and found the same area. Fair-

Robbery Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a Bishopville residence July 5, for a reported 911 call that ended when the caller hung up.

They met with a victim who said a man, later identified as William Randall Lewis, 54, of Berlin, had assaulted her and tried to steal her purse, which contained money.

Lewis left the scene before deputies arrived, but was located a short time later in Berlin. He was charged with robbery and second-degree assault and held on a $10,000 bond.

Protective order A 50-year-old Ocean City man was charged July 6, with violation of a protective order that prohibited him from being on a Berlin property.

Worcester County deputies, who went to the Berlin address for a civil complaint investigation, were aware of the protective order in place against Joseph Daryl Webster and arrested him.

City officials find housing space far too cramped for occupants Continued from Page 36

bend and the students, as well as city officials close to the situation, confirmed that such as space would be generously allowed three occupants under city code half the number that were there.

The students said they had asked the building inspectors to not confront the unit’s owner until Thursday morning, for fear of reprisal from a landlord they described as a ”psychopath” who frequently entered their apartment unannounced to violently lambast them about any perceived ill behavior.

City building officials were observed Thursday morning outside the residence, speaking with one of the owners. The students, by that time, had vacated the property and moved into another unit that had recently been vacated by some of their friends who were departing early to travel.

When asked about any foreign student residents and overcrowding concerns, the property’s owners insisted that they “only rented to families” and had never had any Irish student renters or been contacted by the city’s code enforcement officers.

The students said that they arrived in Ocean City without jobs or accommodations, something which Fairbend noted is an issue amongst Irish students in particular due to the fact that Ireland is a visa waiver country. For such jurisdictions, the U.S. State Department does not require work visa applicants to pre-arrange the work and living situations before approving their entry.

However, the students said that the housing situation was much more difficult than they had been led to believe. Most low-rent units had already been booked or occupied by high school seniors.

“We took it because we couldn’t find anything else and needed to work,” said one student.

“People were coming in – Americans – and we knew we wouldn’t get anything if we didn’t take something,” said another.

Despite the assumption by many that students occupy units with an undue number of people without their landlords’ knowledge, it appears that the property in question was offered to the students with the expectation that it would hold six, or more.

A copy of the students’ lease given to this newspaper states that the maximum occupancy is “six or seven” people. The numbers are written in a hand that is identifiable as being the same as the owner’s signature, not that of the student leaseholder.

Furthermore, the landlord has specified a per-person rent of $1,300 for the season, for a total of $7,800 to occupy the unit from May 23 to Aug. 20, as well as a $600 security deposit. The students further contended that the owner had encouraged them to sleep a seventh person on the couch to cut down their individual rents.

“They told us they’d take in four, but they’d rather six or seven, to make sure we could pay,” said the student who signed the lease.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

These tight living quarters have called into question the housing situation for Ocean City’s multitude of foreign student workers.

“Housing is really bad this year and it’s gotten worse by the week,” said Fairbend.

Irish Outreach, he said, is aware of several other situations with similar circumstances, but students are afraid to take action because they fear retaliation from their landlords.

“These kids want to come here and they’re just asking for a roof over their head and basic living conditions,” he said.

“And then they find out that they get stuck with this. How many student workers are actually going to come back? Some are already saying that they won’t.”

Annual OC Tuna Tourney under way

SPORTS BRIEFS

Shrine Club golf tourney Ocean City Shrine Club’s 15th annual Golf Classic will be held Friday, Aug. 3 at Ocean City Golf & Country Club. It is open to men and women.

Cost is $85 per person and includes golf, cart and lunch. All proceeds will be sent to The Shriners Hospitals for Children. Funds help provide treatment and ongoing care for pediatric patients with severe burns, spinal cord injuries, or orthopedic problems. Sponsors and prize donations needed.

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (July 13, 2012) Today through Sunday, anglers will head offshore looking to land bluefin, yellowfin and big eye tuna as thousands of dollars are up for grabs during the 25th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament.

Tuna fishing has been stellar this season in both quantity and quality as large ones have been reeled in.

“It’s been awesome,” Tuna Tournament Director Jennifer Blunt said Monday. “There’s some big big eyes out there and yellowfin are a good size as well. We’re still seeing a few bluefin coming in and they’re decent size.”

During the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 30th annual Canyon Kick Off, held June 29-July 1, nine big eyes were brought to the Sunset Marina scale—a club record. Five tipped the scale at more than 200 pounds. Last week, Blunt said several big eyes were also hooked, with several weighing in excess of 200 pounds.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen this many big eyes,” she said.

Big eyes and yellowfin are currently swimming about 60 miles offshore, while bluefin are a bit closer, around 40 miles out, Blunt said.

During the Tuna Tournament, anglers on both charter and private boats may hook a single bluefin per day. Three yellowfin, which tend to be smaller than bluefin, may be caught per person per day.

There is no limit to the number of big eyes a team may catch, although only five fish per tournament day are permitted to be weighed.

The cost to enter the tournament was $900 ($800 for early registration). There are nine added entry level calcuttas, or wagering pools, this year, ranging in cost from $200 to $5,000. Anglers had the option to sign up for one or all of the added entry level categories, which, if they place on the top of the leader board, could substantially increase the amount of prize money taken home.

Berlin Major League All-Star, Brett Berquist, bunts during last Saturday’s game against Pocomoke at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex. Berlin won 17-4.

BERLIN ALL-STARS FARE WELL Three of the four teams still in contention for titles LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (July 13, 2012) Three of the four Berlin Little League AllStar teams are still competing, with two in contention for District 8 titles and another eyeing a second state championship.

■ 9-10-YEAR-OLDS: The 9-10-year-old squad won its season opener on June 29, 12-0 over Crisfield, but the group lost its next two, 15-4 and 6-5, respectively, against Delmar and Princess Anne.

Last Friday, Berlin was shut out 11-0 by Fruitland on its home field at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex, off Route 113, to end its season.

“We played fairly well, but again, we had some defensive miscues,” said Manager Ned Delaney. “That will come.

They’re only 10 years old.

They’re young.”

For most of the players, it was their first time competing at the all-star level. The post season has a different atmosphere than regular-season competition, Delaney said.

“It’s an honor to be named to an all-star team and to represent Berlin,” he said. “I wish we would have fared better, but overall, it was a wonderful experience. It was a valuable experience for all the kids.”

■ 10-11-YEAR-OLDS: The 10-11-year-old team easily took down District 8 competition again this year.

The boys trounced East Wicomico 31-0 in the June 30 season opener.

Before last Thursday’s game against West Salisbury, Berlin Manager Cameron McDonough said past competitions between the two teams have been hard-fought battles.

If his players performed well, he was confident they would come out on top.

Berlin scored an 18-4 victory over Salisbury on the road, but after the game McDonough said, “We played well, but not as well as we could have.”

Berlin scored seven runs in the first inning and tacked on two more in the second. Salisbury scored three in the second, but in the final four innings, Berlin outscored its opponent 8-1.

Billy Wheatley blasted a home run over the fence and recorded three RBIs during the game. Kevin Beck and Wes Powell had three hits apiece.

Tristan McDonough hit a triple. On the mound, McDonough struck out seven in three innings.

On Monday, Berlin, going for its second consecutive District 8 title, went head-to-head with Fruitland.

In the second inning, Wheatley doubled to score the game’s first run. Berlin led 4-0 at the end of two innings and tacked on a run in the third and two in the fourth to pull ahead 7-0. Fruitland chipped

away at Berlin’s advantage in the fourth inning, scoring three runs. Berlin added a single run in the fifth and put the game out of reach in the sixth, tallying eight runs to win 16-3.

“We got off to a slow start.

It was a fairly competitive game until the last inning,” McDonough said. “The last inning we pounded the ball. We absolutely smashed the ball, so that was good to see.”

Wheatley had four (two doubles, two singles) of Berlin’s 11 hits. He earned three RBIs and scored three runs.

Zach Pletcher pitched three and one-third innings, striking out three. Hayden Snelsire finished the game and recorded four strikeouts.

After the win, Berlin players took a victory lap around the field, carrying their championship banner. They also posed for pictures under the scoreboard, purchased last year in their honor after winning the Maryland State Championship. All of the players’ names who competed on the 2011 team are printed on the scoreboard. Ten of the 11 players from last year are back and the boys are now going after their second state title.

“We have high expectations. I don’t think anybody would feel fully OK with what we accomplished this year unless we went up there and defended our title,” McDonough See MCDONOUGH’S on Page 42

OP flounder fishing The Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce will host its 5th annual Flounder Fishing Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 4. Cash prizes for the largest flounder. First place, $500 and a trophy; second place, $300 and third, $100. Additional prizes may be awarded.

Berlin will travel to Hurlock on Saturday for the weeklong double elimination state tournament. Berlin will play Bethesda, the District 7 winner.

■ MAJOR LEAGUE: The Berlin Major Leaguers fell to West Salisbury 8-1 in the July 5 season opener, but the team bounced back two days later, with a 17-4 win over Pocomoke.

“The game was close early. Our big hitters just weren’t hitting at the beginning of the game, and I think the heat was a factor,” said Manager Bill Cioccio after Saturday’s game in Berlin.

The score was tied 2-2, until Berlin tacked on two runs in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead. Salisbury evened the score at 4-all in the next inning.

Berlin’s bats then came alive, Cioccio said, as Ethan Gaskill hit a single to kick off the sixth inning. Blake Ludlam stepped up to the plate and blasted the ball over the fence to give Berlin a 6-4 lead. That home run was the turning point of the game, Cioccio said.

“Everybody fed off the energy and we just took off,” he said.

Zach Pilarski’s double drove in a run and Stephen Bontempo hit a home run to increase Berlin’s advantage 9-4. By the end of the inning, Berlin had pulled ahead 13-4.

Pitcher Shane Cioccio recorded six strikeouts in five innings. Brett Berquist faced the final four batters and struck out one.

On Monday, Berlin traveled to Crisfield and came home with a 12-2 win.

“Our bats were slow once again and in the top of the third inning we were down 2-0,” Cioccio said. “Our ninth batter [Ludlam] didn’t bat until the bottom of the third and he got a hit. Then the top of the order came around and we started to hit the ball.”

Berlin held a 3-2 lead at the end of the third, and after four innings, the team had gained an 8-2 advantage. The squad tacked on four runs in the fifth to end the game (10-run slaughter rule).

Jacob Shockley struck out six in four innings. Bontempo took the mound for the final inning and struck out two. Cioccio, Ludlam and Bontempo each had two hits.

Berlin is scheduled to host Princess Anne today, Friday, at 6 p.m.

■ JUNIOR LEAGUE: The Berlin Junior League team edged out Delmar in the season opener on June 30. Last Saturday, the squad earned a 9-4 victory over Fruitland on the road.

Berlin scored three runs in the second and four in the third inning to take a 7-1 lead. Fruitland cut Berlin’s lead to three in the fifth inning, but the visiting team drove in two insurance runs in the top of the seventh.

“They did really well. We just need to stop them from letting teams get big innings,” said Manager Mike Forrest.

“Overall, I’m happy with the way they

played. These guys love to hit the ball. It was just a team effort and I’m very proud of them.”

Brooks Holloway went 4-for-4, including a double, to lead Berlin. Gus Esham, Sean Colgan and Brendon Scott had two hits apiece.

Bailey Littleton struck out two batters in four innings. Will Sass took the mound in the fifth and recorded a strikeout. Colgan struck out six in the final two innings to finish the game.

On Wednesday, West Salisbury traveled to Berlin for competition. Berlin won the game 5-1. The next match for Berlin in the double elimination tournament is Sunday against the winner of Friday’s West Salisbury—East Wicomico game.

tas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Level H Winner Takes All for largest dolphin and Level I Boats Under 40 feet Winner Takes All â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were added in 2011 and proved to be popular.

Seventy of the 87 boats entered in the tournament participated in the Level H calcutta last year, which was added to provide more excitement and payout in the dolphin division.

Thirty-five of the 36 boats smaller than 40 feet entered the Level I calcutta in

2011. Fifty percent of the prize money will again go to the angler who reels in the heaviest tuna. The other 50 percent will be awarded to the team with the most tuna caught, measured by pounds.

The Level G calcutta was added in 2008 and each year half of the prize money in the calcutta benefits an organization or charity. Last year, approximately $3,000 was donated to the Ocean City Reef Foundation for the Jimmy Jackson Reef Project. Jackson, a local angler and

businessman, lost his life in a diving accident in April 2010 in the Bahamas.

The Level F â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pro Tuna Jackpotâ&#x20AC;? Winner Takes All costs $5,000 to enter, but it pays off for the angler with the heaviest single tuna as long as he signs up for the calcutta.

With 36 teams participating in 2011, the Level F pot itself totaled $162,000.

days then taking one off. Sometimes he will work out twice a day.

Anyone can try out for the competition. The most recent world qualification rounds took place in February and March.

Bruder had to do one workout a week for five weeks and be observed by a Level 1 Crossfit instructor. He was able to do the workouts at the Ocean City Crossfit facility. He qualified for the Crossfit Games, in the Masters 50-55 age group, in late March. At the end of five weeks, the top 20 in each division advanced.

After entering his results each week, with approximately 2,000 competitors in his age group, Bruder ranked sixth in the world in his division going into the Crossfit Games.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You do a lot of prep work before. It takes years of training and dedicating yourself to the exercise program,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These [Crossfit] athletes, young or old, are all pretty amazing.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, competing in the 45-50year-old age group, Bruder just missed qualifying for the games, finishing in 26th place.

Bruder left for California on July 9.

Registration for his age group was July 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited. I just want to be there and start. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a long lapse of time from when you qualify to the games,â&#x20AC;?

Bruder said before he left for the games.

He will do two workouts a day, today through Sunday. Competitors will be ranked after each workout. Athletes do not find out the activities they will have

to perform during their workouts until the night before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the unknowing, so you better be ready for anything they throw at you.

You just have to train in everything you can think of,â&#x20AC;? Bruder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it that far to the games, you better be able to do everything.â&#x20AC;?

Awards will be presented on Sunday.

Bruder hopes to place top three in his division and make it onto the podium.

About 20 members of Crossfit Ocean City plan to make the trip to California to cheer on Bruder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure going to give 150 percent and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where it falls,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a fantastic support group at Crossfit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that a whole group will be there to support me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have my own cheering section.â&#x20AC;?

mitted today through Sunday. Anglers will fish two of the three days. Catches will be weighed at the Ocean City Fishing Center between 4-7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and until 7 p.m. Sunday.

To speed up the weigh-in process, stringer fish (a boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaviest five fish per day) can be weighed at Sunset Marina on Friday and Saturday. All other fish, including trophy fish, must be brought to the Fishing Center.

Prize money will be awarded to the first-, second- and third-heaviest single tuna and the largest total catch weight.

The top team in the Largest Fish division will receive an invitation to compete in the IGFA Offshore Championship.

Each boat may weigh up to five fish per day to compete for a two-day total pound catch.

A $1,500 award will be presented to the female angler who catches the largest tuna. Prizes will also be awarded to the lady anglers who hook the second- and third-heaviest tuna.

A Junior Angler division is available for those aged 16 and younger. The winner will receive $1,000. The junior angler who reels in the second largest tuna will win $500. The youth who hooks the third heaviest will get $250.

There will also be prize money ($2,500, $1,000 and $500) for the first-, second- and third-largest dolphin.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

Get to know your fiduciary responsibilities

Small donations can helpHabitat build new home LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer

JOHN STERN ■ Contributing Writer (July 13, 2012) If your company offers an employee retirement plan, you, as the plan sponsor, have certain responsibilities to your plan participants. And because of the prevalence of 401(k) plan non-compliance issues, the Department of Labor is paying close attention to how trustees manage their fiduciary duties.

To increase transparency and protect plan participants, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) includes many directives about how plans should be operated.

There are three basic requirements: 1. The plan must offer at least three diversified investment options with varying degrees of risk and return.

2. There are certain disclosures and information that must be provided to participants — some automatically in advance of investment and others upon participant request.

3. Participants must be able to give investment instructions to a fiduciary, and they must have the opportunity to change investments with appropriate frequency.

As a fiduciary, you are also responsible for making sure your employee participants are aware of fees paid by the plan. Beginning in August, ERISA Section 408(b)(2) requires fiduciaries (you) to notify participants of all fees typically paid by the plan. You must also notify participants quarterly of the actual expenses incurred. In addition, you must disclose detailed fund performance data, benchmarks and expense ratios annually. The deadline for investment plan service providers to deliver to employers the contracts containing details about their fees was July 1.

West Ocean City Chipotle employees make customers’ meals on opening day. (Below) Chipotle Mexican Grill, located in the Seaside Village Shopping Center, opened for business on Tuesday.

CHIPOTLE NOW OPEN Mexican Grill features burritos, tacos, among other items LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (July 13, 2012) Drivers on Route 50 in West Ocean City have for weeks looked on in anticipation as workers built a Chipotle Mexican Grill in the Seaside Village Shopping Center.

Construction of an approximately 4,500-squarefoot Chick-fil-A began in mid-February, around the same time as work began on the approximately 8,000square-foot building that would soon be home to a Mattress Warehouse and Chipotle.

Chick-fil-A opened June 7, and Mattress Warehouse, which occupies about twothirds of the building it shares with Chipotle, opened shortly after.

The wait is now finally over for fans craving the fresh taste of Chipotle’s menu items. The restaurant opened on Tuesday. “‘Are you excited we’re open,’” Morshed Chowdhury, team leader of northeast operations, asked customers lined up to place their food orders on opening day.

“Yes,” was the overwhelming response.

“We’re happy to be part of the community,” he said.

“We’ve been going around to local businesses and everyone is excited we’re here.”

General Manager Amber Hinkle transferred from the Easton Chipotle, where she was an apprentice to the restaurant’s general manager. Prior to that, she worked for Chipotle in York, Pa. She has been with the company for three years.

“I am so excited to be opening the Ocean City Chipotle,” Hinkle said. “This is a great beach community.

There are so many interesting people here and, of course, Chipotle fans.”

Anna Johnson and her husband, Charlie, live in the Baltimore area and frequently visit Ocean City.

Chipotle is one of their favorite restaurants.

“We always stop at Chipo-

tle in Salisbury on our way down to the beach,” she said.

“We love it. The food always tastes so fresh.”

The company’s “Food with Integrity” philosophy stems from founder, chairman and CEO Steve Ells’ commitment to using all responsibly and sustainable farmed ingredients. He opened the first Chipotle in Denver in 1993.

Last year, Chipotle purchased in excess of 10 million pounds of produce — up from 5 million in 2010 — for each of its more than 1,225 restaurants nationwide from small and mid-sized local family farms.

Katherine Newell Smith, a spokeswoman for Chipotle, said the company would like to deal with local farmers and produce markets for its See OCEAN on Page 45

But, Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County needs your help in order to continue to help provide decent and affordable housing to residents in our area.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that builds affordable homes for low-income families of Worcester County. The all-volunteer organization provides homes at no profit through interest free loans to needy families. The organization’s mission is: “To build simple, decent, affordable homes for low income families in partnership … with the community” The local chapter of HFH welcomes those who wish to donate their time or talent on-site to help build the homes — but they are in dire need of financial support to continue the mission.

Participation in the Carpenter’s Club giving program is easy. Following an initial $25 membership fee, each member pledges $35 each time Habitat completes a home (currently averaging one home every 12 months.)

But, to encourage new membership, the initial $25 membership fee is waived if you sign up during the month of July.

Naturally, all of this brings some recordkeeping duties. Among other administrative duties, you are required to keep you plan’s Form 5500 filings for at least six years. Records including annual reports and a census of participants must be kept for six years, too.

When you look back at the Enron debacle and others, it’s easy to see what prompted ERISA. And, while your fiduciary duties are serious and significant, they’re also fairly straightforward.

We R Wireless Boardwalk store offers promos LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (July 13, 2012) While walking on the Ocean City Boardwalk, visitors may have noticed an inflatable LG Droid cell phone, with the person inside waving to onlookers, posing for photos and informing passersby of the deals the Verizon We R Wireless store offers.

“On an average day, 150 to 200 people take pictures with it. It’s a big draw. It’s one of the [most fun] things on the Boardwalk right now,” said Ricky Singh, chairman of We R Wireless, which opened on the Boardwalk next to the Purple Moose near Talbot Street in May. “People are amazed that there’s a Verizon store on the Boardwalk. They’re pretty excited. People are telling other people and it’s becoming like a destination store.”

Singh said the We R Wireless store that opened on the Ocean City, N.J., Boardwalk last year has been prosperous, so an Ocean City, Md., Boardwalk location seemed ideal.

“People are in a happy mood when they’re on vacation,” he said. When people are on vacation, they are relaxed, in good spirits and are tempted to make an impulse buy.

“Business has been pretty good [in Ocean City Md.], close to expectations. We offer better deals at this store,” he said.

A variety of promotions are being offered at the Boardwalk store. Among the special incentives is an iPhone 4, with a car

There are also 12 stores in California.

“We’re the biggest Verizon Wireless agent on the East Coast right now,” Singh said.

Locally, We R Wireless stores can be found in the Tanger Outlets in West Ocean City, Gold Coast Mall on 115th Street, at 127th Street and on Old Ocean City Blvd. near Save A Lot in Berlin.

“We’re committed to local family farms,” she said.

All the pork, beef and chicken Chipotle serves is naturally and humanely raised.

Animals are fed an all-vegetarian diet, with no added hormones or antibiotics.

In 2012, Chipotle will purchase approximately 120 million pounds of naturally raised meats and sell more naturally raised meat than any other restaurant company.

Chipotle’s sour cream and cheeses are made from milk that is rBGH-free (recombinant bovine growth hormone), much of which comes from pasture-raised cows.

Forty-percent of the black and pinto beans that Chipotle purchases are organically grown, with about 5 percent using conservation tilling methods.

Customers watch their meal being made right in front of them, picking and choosing what meat and ingredients they want their burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads filled with.

RE/MAX Premier Properties Broker Dr. Carl E. Ortman last week announced the top June producers, as well as three new agents.

The Top Listing Agent is Pam Price of the Salisbury office and the Top Volume Producer is Holly Pam Price Campbell, also of the Salisbury office.

RE/MAX welcomed three new licensed agents to the company, as well: Charlene Reaser and Dana Wells (Salisbury) and Jim Adcock (Ocean Pines).

She will work in the 75th Street office in Ocean City.

To Our Customers:

We Thank You. Thank you to our customers for your patience and understanding after the violent and destructive wind storm on June 30th caused power outages and extensive damage across our service area.

Thank you also to our emergency response partners and government officials, as well as the mutual assistance crews and our dedicated employees who worked around the clock to complete the restoration.

The storm came in violently and unexpectedly, tearing through states from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic, leaving in its wake a 700-mile trail of death and destruction – including 34 fatalities and almost 4 million customers without power. Some of those outages lasted well over a week.

Winds in excess of 70 miles per hour caused catastrophic damage across our service area and 84,000 of our customers were left without power. Some areas were hit harder than others. Large fallen trees, snapped poles and downed wires caused most of the damage to the electrical equipment.

Once trees were cleared and crews were able to begin repairs, the restoration effort involved: Q

Replacing more than 30,000 feet of distribution wire

Q

Replacing more than 40 downed wooden poles

Q

Fixing or replacing 35 transformers

An important part of the extensive restoration effort was the newly installed smart meter technology that allowed us to dispatch crews more efficiently. We “pinged” customers’ smart meters to determine whether their service had been restored without having to inconvenience the customer, or unnecessarily dispatch a crew to check a location. It allowed us to dispatch fewer trucks, ensuring those crews were able to focus on restoration.

The vast majority of customers – more than 97 percent – had power restored within the first 48 hours. Repair activity continued full force, around the clock, until every customer affected by the storm had electrical service. Restoration was completed early Tuesday evening, July 2nd. After every one of our customers was restored, our crews continued to work in the region until this past Sunday to help our neighboring utilities restore power.

As always, we will take this opportunity to evaluate our response and look for ways we may be able to enhance our efforts when severe weather strikes again.

Summer storm season has clearly begun and we encourage you to prepare now for the next storm.

Visit the Delmarva Power Storm Center today at delmarva.com/ home/emergency for information on how to prepare for power outages and emergencies.

We follow a specific process for restoring power safely. Learn about it at delmarva.com/ home/emergency/restore

Performances begin Monday, July 16, and will continue through Saturday, July 21.

Close to 1,000 acts will be showcased during the weeklong event at the 40th Street venue.

Most performances will be dance numbers that include hip-hop, jazz, pointe, modern/ interpretive, clogging, ballet and tap. There will also be performances by cheerleaders, drill teams, pompom groups, singers, musical and lyrical actors, baton twirlers, acrobats, gymnasts, pantomimes and fashion models.

There will be solo, duets and trios, as well as small (four to nine members), large (1019) and line and grand (20 or more) group performances.

This year, there are three competitive divisions: the Power Division, for top-level, experienced dancers; the new All Star Division, designed for intermediate, on-the-rise dancers who have some competition experience, and the Star Division, for those new to competition.

Participants in the weeklong championships had to qualify at one of the 65 regional competitions. Competitors were scored on a points system during the regional events.

Ocean City is the final of five world championship locations.

This year, competitions took place in Orlando, Fla., Las Vegas, Branson, Mo., and Uncasville, Conn.

LITTLE LIFEGUARDS Ocean City Beach Patrol program offers students day (or week) in the life of resort’s surf rescue technicians LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (July 13, 2012) For children and teens who want to learn how to be a beach lifeguard, the Ocean City Beach Patrol offers summer programs that teach the basic skills of water safety.

“This is a great opportunity for young people to learn about the roles and responsibilities of the surf rescue technicians,” said Kristin Joson, OCBP Web editor and public relations coordinator.

“They get to exercise like the lifeguards and learn about the ocean, currents, weather conditions, use rescue equipment, enter and exit the surf like the ‘professionals’ and compete in competitions and a graduation ceremony that occurs on the beach at the end of the sessions on Friday.”

The first session of the Junior Beach Patrol Academy took place this week.

Salvador Dali: Have no fear of perfection; you’ll never reach it FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Words are questionable, but philosophy is feasible DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (July 13, 2012) “Have no fear of perfection; you’ll never reach it.” The words of Salvador Dali are questionable, but the philosophy is certainly feasible. Improvement is always within one’s reach and continuously attainable. But the question remains, when is advancement no longer possible and pure perfection has been mastered. This realm of theory has been debated for centuries and conclusion will, in all probability, remain an open chapter.

That being said, one should strive for the utmost state of excellence. Having worked and dined in some of the finest restaurants in this country, flawlessness takes on new meaning. Precision is the master of entertaining, which in turn elevates the standards for new competition. Subtleties are the deciding factor that separates extraordinary from genius.

Earning the coveted spot of being No.1 in a particular field is truly an amazing feat. I remember asking Patrick O’Connell, proprietor and chef of The Inn at Little Washington, the what is more challenging, getting to the top or staying on top? Many years have shadowed his exact response, but he implied this business is like the theater — you are as good as your last performance. When one’s business is considered the best, you are setting yourself up for the most discerning critique. In other words, staying on top is very challenging.

Dialogue has dramatic complexity but the subtlest actions create a lasting impression. For this reason, Le Cirque will remain one of my favorite restaurants. I will never forget that glorious fall day.

Use herbs in simple vinaigrette that complement overall meal FOOD FOR THOUGHT Sometimes trying to do the right thing can take one back a few steps. Brand new shoes with 4-inch heels do not exactly equate comfort. After an hour of walking, I simply could not go any further. So I decided to grab a cab and meet my dear friend Nick a tad early. A cocktail would certainly help the pain go away.

As I hobbled into Le Cirque, the renowned Sirio Maccioni beckoned one of the waiters to get a pillow. Sirio escorted me to the bar and asked what was my pleasure? I replied, “Surprise me.”

The waiter returned with a pillow, removed my shoes and gently messaged my feet and placed them on the pillow for as well deserved rest. At the same time, Sirio handed me a glass of champagne.

The service was impeccable and certainly beyond normal expectations. Needless to say, I was in total awe.

About 20 minutes later Nick walked in; the expression on his face was priceless. At the time I had no idea how to pronounce Le Cirque or even comprehended the level of notoriety of this incredible restaurant. All I knew was I would never forget this moment.

My life has changed in the last decade, but the conviction of perseverance is the bond that links the past with the present.

Indulgence can be a good thing. Salads

cool the hot, sultry days of summer. A dressing should enhance and harmonize the basic components without overpowering the individual ingredients. Following are a few basic steps when preparing a simple, herb vinaigrette.

Vinaigrettes are based of three basic steps. Dissolving the salt with the vinegar and lemon juice prevents one from oversalting the dressing. Next, slowly mix in the oil of choice, stirring briskly to emulsify the vinaigrette. In most cases, four parts oil is used for each part of vinegar.

For extra flavor and color, stir in finely chopped fresh herbs to taste. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well.

It is that simple. Choose herbs that complement the overall meal.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re wise to let your Arian skepticism question a former adversary’s request to let bygones be bygones. Time will tell if he or she is trying to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Congratulations. Your hard work soon pays off with some well-deserved recognition. Meanwhile, that important personal relationship needs more attention from you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That new person in your life seems trustworthy, but don’t turn him or her into a confidant just yet. Remember: The secret you don’t reveal is the one you won’t lose sleep over.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your kindness makes a difference in someone’s life. But by week’s end, a touch of Cancerian envy could create a problem with a colleague. Take care to keep it under control.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A new spurt of energy sends you roaring back into that challenging work situation. But be careful not to overdo it, or your sizzle could fizzle before your task is completed.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your practical sense helps you see the logic of being a bit more flexible with a workplace colleague. But you still have a ways to go before there’s a true meeting of the minds.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A surprise situation could cause you to spend more money than you feel you can afford. But careful budget adjustments will help. Your fiscal picture soon brightens.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That decision you made might still have its detractors, but your supporters are growing. Meanwhile, your personal life takes on some welcome new developments.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Matters of the mind intrigue the sage Sagittarian through week’s end. By then, you should feel more than ready to make room for pursuits of the heart.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The canny Capricorn can offer good counsel to others. But how about taking some advice yourself from a close friend or family member who is able and ready to help?

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new workplace opportunity offers a variety of challenges that you might find intriguing. Best advice: Take things one step at a time so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A bid to revive a relationship that ended on a bitter note needs to be carefully thought out before you can even begin to consider plunging into a new emotional commitment.

BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy being with people, and people love being with you. You would probably do very well in politics.

Guards know best when it comes to beach safety ON GUARD

Heed warnings about weather from OCBP KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer (July 13, 2012) Have you ever wondered why the lifeguards make people leave the beach when it is just thundering or a little bit of lightning or perhaps it might appear to be a nice sunny day?

The beach is probably one of the worst places to be when lightning is near.

Most people know that being in the water is dangerous, but they feel a bit safer on the beach. This is a dangerous assumption. In fact, all documented cases of lightning strikes in Ocean City have been when people were on the beach and lightning was still in the area.

So please follow the directions of the lifeguards when they clear the beach due to storm activity.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol is in constant contact with the weather service and is aware of current weather situation at all times. Many times weather conditions vary from one end of Ocean City to the other. Just last week it was sunny and mild in the south by the Boardwalk and lightning and showers just nine miles north. There are many documented cases throughout the country of people being hit by lightning while

the sun is shining (called a bolt from the blue). The beach patrol is not only in constant contact with the weather service, but its members have constant communication with each other up and down the beach as well. They know when lightning is in the area.

The beach patrol, like other modern emergency services, relies on two-way radio systems as well as semaphore and a whistle system. The beach patrol’s primary concern is your safety and we will clear the beaches if we feel you are not safe.

While vacationing on the beaches in Ocean City, you may or may not notice the lifeguards communicating with each other, but please heed their warnings and leave the beach if asked to do so, even if you do not see lightning. Due to constant monitoring of the weather and their communication systems, they are aware of dangers that you might not be able to see. A beach is listed as one of the most vulnerable places to be during an electrical storm, according to weather researchers. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will clear the beach if lightning is spotted in the area. After making sure all beach patrons have been warned (whether or not they heed our warning and leave) lifeguards then take cover to the back of the beach for their safety. No one is permitted back on the

Rusty Barnes of the Ocean City Beach Patrol returns to his stand on 127th Street once the danger of lightning had passed during a storm last summer. His stand was actually struck by lightning just shortly after he cleared his beach and had taken cover. The stand was left splintered and charred by the lightning.

IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer (July 13, 2012) How sweet it was! Sitting on our deck in comfortable chairs watching Northside Park’s well planned and absolutely beautiful fireworks display was an awesome way to celebrate Independence Day. Just another one of those unforgettable “Demarvelous” experiences. One of the first Fourth of July displays in several years that hadn’t been dampened by an early-on rainfall. Could the hot weather have been the reason the Kemps couldn’t hear the ohs, ahs or the thunderous applause at the finale? Such a great show. No doubt in my mind, the applause had to be deafening.

Charlie and Maureen O’Brien, Ed and Georgia Winiecki, Tom and Loretto Singman and Whitey and Del Leutner somehow must have mysteriously envisioned the ever-so-busy life they would lead in their golden years. Could that be the reason they packaged birthdays and anniversary within the same time period?

Unwittingly, perhaps, but wise.

This group of dedicated volunteers adheres strictly to the Delmarva tradition of celebrating all auspicious occasions for 30 days. You won’t catch any of them wasting away in Selbyville. If you cross paths with ’em, give them a slug … oops, I meant hug from all of us. Happy anniversary and birthday, kids. May you have many, many more.

Visitors and locals are welcome to participate in Family Olympics from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday on the beach at 27th Street.

Entertainment galore for folks of all ages at Northside Park’s Sundaes in the Park, every Sunday from 6-8 p.m. Check Ocean City Today for listings of family-oriented activities, the likes of movies and firework displays.

Also check out downtown’s latest attraction, Sunset Park.

What a pleasant surprise, last Friday’s “Heaven and Hell” program on ABC. Would that have anything to do with last week’s announcement by TV big wigs that 20- to 35-year-olds are no longer the viewers of prime time TV programs? Duh! Who didn’t know that?

Do I have some great advice for the freshly retired. Hang on to your sense of humor — join, join, join. Too hot to stay on the beach? What a great opportunity to cool off while casing the local clubs, such as the American Legion, Elks and the Knights of Columbus. Best you check out check out their fun fundraising slot machines. If you lose enough and all goes well, there’s a slim chance you might not go to hell. It’s a gamble, but somebody has to do it.

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, I’m in deep trouble. Oops, I just remembered in heaven there is no beer, but not to worry, I’m sure there’s plenty of wine there. H’mm! How do I know? Because my Bible told me so.

camps are full, but space is available in the final three sessions and the one-day clinics.

Participants in the beach patrol camps will be taught how to run in the sand and swim out through the waves to rescue a swimmer in distress, how to communicate with each other using flags, and how to use the various pieces of equipment like buoys, landlines and paddleboards.

During the four-day academies, participants will also learn about other aspects of public safety in Ocean City through meetings with representatives from the Coast Guard, firefighters, police officers, bomb squad members and paramedics.

“We try to give them exposure to a variety of things,” Kovacs said. “Over the years, dozens of kids have gone on to become guards and some of them have moved on to become police officers, firemen and paramedics.”

The four-day camp ends with a friendly competition on Fridays that incorporates the skills learned during the week. Parents are encouraged to watch the competitions.

Kovacs said the program is popular among both vacationers and local youth.

“Kids come from different areas and states. About half the participants are local, or live within driving distance,” Kovacs said. “The kids don’t know each other and are a little shy on the first day, but by the end of the week, they’re competing together in teams and cheering each other on.”

Children must meet swimming re-

There are four levels of the programs, so children can sign up for more than one camp during the summer to learn different skills each time.

“Once the participants move up through the different levels they can apply to be a Junior Beach Patrol assistant instructor. This is a paid position with the beach patrol. It is available to those who are at least 15 years of age and have successfully completed all levels,” Joson said.

“All applicants are expected to pursue a surf rescue technician position with the beach patrol when they are 17 years old.

Beat the heat, ‘Benefit the Bays’ during July 29 event at Jolly Roger

PHOTO COURTESY JOLLY ROGER

Tickets are on sale now for the July 29 “Benefit the Bays” event at Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street in Ocean City.

(July 13, 2012) Looking for a fun way to douse those brutal daytime temperatures?

Need a budget-friendly alternative to the beach that will keep the kids happy and the entire family entertained? How about if you could benefit a local nonprofit that works to keep our coastal waters swimmable and fishable? Too good to be true?

Not if you join Assateague Coastal Trust and the Assateague Coastkeeper for this year’s annual “Benefit the Bays Day” on Sunday, July 29, at Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street in Ocean City.

Benefit the Bays offers discounted entry to Splash Mountain water park (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and to Jolly Roger’s two mini-golf courses (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and amusement rides (2-6 p.m.). Play all day for $30 per ticket — a huge savings off the park price. Or save even more with four or more tickets at only $25 each.

“Benefit the Bays is a chance for local

families and visitors alike to beat the heat and support our efforts to keep our bays clean for swimming and fishing,” said Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips. “You get a full day of fun for a great price at Ocean City’s premier water and amusement park and at the same time support the Coastkeeper’s in-the-water and onthe-ground efforts to stop pollution in our coastal bays.”

Guests may also enter to win a “Benefit the Bays” prize package, which will include four free tickets to Jolly Roger for the July 29 event, plus a T-shirt and water bottle from the Assateague Coastal Trust. To enter, “friend” the Assateague Coastkeeper on Facebook and post a photo that illustrates what “swimmable and fishable” coastal waters mean to you. Get your friends to “like” your photo on the Assateague Coastkeeper Facebook page. The photo with the most likes by 4 p.m. on

Wednesday, July 25, will win the prize package. The photo with the second-most likes will receive two free tickets to Jolly Roger for July 29.

Tickets are available by calling 410629-1538 or online at www.actforbays.org.

Tickets are also on sale at K-Coast Surf Shop on 35th Street in Ocean City; The Green Room Beer and Wine on Route 50 in West Ocean City (just west of the outlets); the Berlin Coffee House on Jefferson Street in Berlin, and at the ACT office on Old Ocean City Boulevard in Berlin. Tickets will not be sold the day of the event.

Proceeds will benefit the Assateague Coastal Trusts efforts to protect our clean water resources through the Coastkeeper and Coast Kids programs. No rain date or refunds. Speedworld and Ziplines not included; limit two rides on the Wildmouse Rollercoaster. For more information, visit www.actforbays.org.

Jesse’s Paddle set for next weekend in Snow Hill dles supported the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program and provided for a $12,000 scholarship in both 2011 and 2012.

Paddlers leave the dock and search for three “clues,” which reveal facts about youth suicide and are exchanged for prizes. The entire route covers less than two miles of the most beautiful river on the Eastern Shore.

“While youth suicide is not exactly a joyful topic,” Pilling said, “we think it more than appropriate to have some fun while raising money to end it.”

“Gathering pledges is key to our ability to teach suicide ‘first aid’ and Jesse’s Paddle is our most important annual fundraiser,” said suicide prevention Program Manager Hope Hutira-Green. HutiraGreen speaks at schools, churches and

(July 13, 2012) Dozens of canoes and kayaks will fill the Pocomoke River in Snow Hill on Saturday, July 21, in support of the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund.

The event, “Jesse’s Paddle,” supports the non-profit fund in its effort to end youth suicide, host support groups for survivors of suicide victims and to provide scholarships to Snow Hill High School graduates. Besides boating, there will be live music, food, beverages and a silent auction.

Participants ask their friends, family members and colleagues to “sponsor” them and 100 percent of the pledges go to the missions.

“Absolutely everything — the prizes, the beverages and snacks, the canoes, kayaks and the live music — is donated,” said fund Treasurer Ron Pilling. Past pad-

community organizations about suicide prevention and distributes awareness and prevention literature countywide. Worcester suffers from suicide rates higher than both state and national averages.

The Paddle begins at 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 21, at the canoe company next to the drawbridge in Snow Hill. If paddlers need a canoe, a standup paddleboard, a two-person kayak or a solo kayak, they should call the shop at 410-632-3971 to reserve one in advance. Participants are encouraged to take their own boat if they have one.

“We welcome anyone to paddle with us, or to support us with a tax-deductible donation,” said Pilling.

For forms for collecting pledges or additional information, call 443-982-2716 or visit www.jessespaddle.org.

Lightning strikes can be deadly for people on beach, in water ON GUARD Continued from Page 52

beach patrons want to argue or give excuses why they are out on the beach when there is visible lightning. Last year, shortly after we cleared the beach due to lightning in the area and after the last stragglers left the beach, one of our guard stands on 127th Street was struck by lightning. This is concrete evidence of the need to heed the lifeguards’ orders to get off the beach immediately (do not even take time to pack up) when lightning is nearby. The lightning strike

during this brief but powerful thunderstorm resulted in splintering and burning the stand’s wood, and sending sparks and nails shooting outward. The people watching from nearby balconies got to witness the danger of lightning first hand.

However, there are some people who still don’t realize the dangers. It is very unsettling to try to reason with people that their life is in danger. I realize they might not have seen lightning, but we are only trying to do our job and keep everyone safe. We have more than 100 lifeguards scanning the beach and we

are in close contact with weather communications. Thirty minutes is not too long to wait to catch that wave and actually live to tell about it.

Ocean City is famous for its clean, safe and fun beach and ocean, and that is what brings you here and keeps you coming back. However, when conditions make it unsafe to be on the beach or in the ocean, the beach patrol is committed to providing for you and your family’s safety so that you can return another day. Enjoy the beach but please do so in a safe manner and listen to the lifeguard on duty in all matters. One

thing that you can always do to remain safe is talk to your lifeguard about current beach conditions each day and limit beach activity to a time when lifeguards are on duty.

To get current information about the beach patrol as well as daily stats and current beach conditions, you can follow the beach patrol on Twitter or “like us” on the Official OCBP Facebook page. We can’t wait to be a part of your fun experiences in Ocean City, because we are glad you are here, and always remember to “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

Meeting Aimee and learning what I have was such a positive experience, and it makes me hope that my future will be nearly as exciting as her life has been.

Aimee plans to be a teacher after she graduates college, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that she will do well in this endeavor. I can trust that she will come back to the U.S., considering that she has responded so well to living here for the season.
