KACZYNSKI: I’M GUILTY Pines man pleads guilty to all charges in Baby Ava case NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) The man on PCP who was responsible for causing life-threatening injuries to Ann Marie DelRicco and her toddler, Ava, last December pleaded guilty to all 11 charges against him in court Tuesday.

“I’m guilty, your honor,” Andre James Kaczynski, 48, told Judge Thomas C. Groton III in Circuit Court in Snow Hill.

His public defender, Arch McFadden, asked that Kaczynski be allowed to remain free on bond during the pre-sentence investigation, but the judge revoked the bond and Kaczynski was taken to

the county jail.

Groton had found Kaczynski guilty of all of the charges after listening to Worcester County Ava DelRicco State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby read the facts of the case.

Oglesby related how Kaczynski hit the rear of DelRicco’s Lexus,

which was stopped at a red light at 142nd Street on Dec. 16.

“He never applied the brakes,” Oglesby said.

The mother and daughter were both extracted from their vehicle before being taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, where they were stabilized before being transferred to a hospital in Baltimore.

Resort council reluctantly OKs $100k pledge for upcoming film

Baltimore native Lasek tops list of confirmed Dew Tour athletes announced this week

ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

Earlier this week, Dew Tour officials announced the first round of confirmed athletes for the Pantech Beach Championships, set for Aug. 16-19, in Ocean City. Topping the list is Maryland’s own Bucky Lasek, above, who finished second in the Dew Tour’s first-ever Skate Bowl event and took top honors in the Skate Vert competition during the 2011 Tour stop. “I’m really looking forward to coming back to my hometown to compete,” Lasek said. The weekend’s musical line-up — the biggest in Dew Tour history — was also announced this week. Performers scheduled to take the downtown stage include RAC DJ, Theophilus London, Lupe Fiasco, Rites of Ashes, The Perfects, Vital, DallasK, Two Fresh and Wolfgang Gartner.

All performances will be free for the public to attend, with special viewing areas available to Premium Pass holders. See full story on Page 42.

(Aug. 3, 2012) The Ocean City Council voted Tuesday to approve the Tourism Advisory Board’s request to allocate $100,000 for investment in the upcoming movie “Ping Pong Summer,” to be filmed in Ocean City and star Susan Sarandon, though the council’s tenor seemed to be one of trepidation.

TAB had made the Susan Sarandon recommendation after meeting extensively with the film’s producers, as well as local business representatives, a fact that seemed to sway many council members more than the promise of the film itself.

City eyes skateboard policy revision; longboard allowance likely ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Following closely on the heels of recent revisions to the city’s policy on bodyboards, City Hall appears to be gearing up for a similar de-restriction of skateboards, but the ability of Ocean City’s streets to accommodate another boost in non-automotive traffic remains to be seen.

Two weeks ago, following a public outcry against the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s increased enforcement of body board restrictions, the council adopted an emergency ordinance amending section 106-92 of the city code.

Previously, the only allowance for body boarding was found in a somewhat antiquated definition of “boogie boards,” specified as being a semi-rigid foam board no more than 3.5 feet long and 2 feet wide, and not having any fins or other rudder-like protrusions. Such boards are permitted on city beaches during peak summer hours, but anything larger or finned, was by default considered a “surfboard” and prohibited.

At that time, OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin said that the “boogie board” definition was added into the 1972 city code sometime in the late 1970s, when the “Boogie Board” brand bodyboard first became commercially available.

When the OCBP began to receive some complaints from swimmers about close calls with reckless bodyboarders, the only enforcement mechanism available to Arbin was the old definition of a permitted “boo-

gie board,” which created a de-facto ban on other types of boards larger than the classic “boogie board” shape, many of which have become popular over the last 40 years.

The approved revision replaced the “boogie board” definition with one for “soft-top body boards” that includes all shapes up to 54 inches. Although few of the bodyboard enthusiasts present at the July 16 meeting stayed through the end to speak publicly, one, Jenny Carven, coowner of Ish Boutique, told the council that she believed skateboarding had undergone changes similar to bodyboarding over the years, and that a revisitation of the city’s 1970s code banning skateboard use on public roads was in order.

Section 90-195 of the city code bans skateboard use on public roads, lots, and sidewalks from April 1 to Oct. 1 of every year. It also placed a year-round skateboard ban on the Boardwalk and any adjacent ramps, railings, or benches.

Agreeing with Carven’s suggestion, Mayor Rick Meehan said, “Just like the technology has changed with the body boards, some of the skateboards that we found were destructive, the shorter boards, are now [losing popularity to] longer boards that are used just for transportation.”

Although skateboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they can be roughly divided into short or “street” boards, and longboards. Short boards are the more typical skateboard, with a louvered deck and angled ends designed to enable aerial tricks and stunts. Long-

boards are thin, flat, and have a longer wheelbase, designed for better maneuverability and retention of momentum when cruising down streets and sidewalks.

At this past Tuesday’s meeting, Councilwoman Mary Knight followed up on what she said was a public interest in a skateboarding change.

“I would like to make a motion that we ask David [Recor, the City Manager] and ask our chief [Police Chief Bernadette DiPino], to get some community involvement and come up with a recommendation that we can look into, since it [the skateboard policy] is another ’70s ordinance,” Knight said.

The consensus seemed to be that longboards should be given more leniency for street use, since they pose less of a threat for destruction of property and general nuisance by boarders attempting tricks on curbs and railings.

Councilman Joe Hall said that he was all for a de-restriction, as long as the city could come up with a workable way to define longboards.

“We need to get the right length of the boards, the wheel base. As long as the boards can’t kick [for airborne tricks], there’s no street that they shouldn’t be allowed on,” Hall said.

“I agree with Joe, and I think that the surf shop owners that Butch talked to before are the ones to get. They sell the skateboards as well and know what does what,” Meehan added.

At Ocean City’s Ocean Bowl Skate Park,

the only public property in the city where skating is allowed, employees George Vitak and Matt Swistak said that longboard use for transportation has been growing, even during the summers when it is nominally banned. Responsible riders, however, are often not confronted by police.

“Most of us do it anyway already,” said Vitak. “If you’re on a regular skateboard, they [the police] would have a problem.

But if I’m on a longboard and I don’t bother them, they don’t bother me.”

“I’ve seen more people cruising this summer than I have before, especially earlier, during senior week,” Swistak said.

Vitak said he prefers the longboard for daily transportation. Living in West Ocean City, he takes the Park and Ride bus onto the island and skates from there.

“It does the job,” he said. “I don’t have a bike and the board is more portable.”

Ocean City Police Department spokesman Mike Levy said skateboarding citations are fairly uncommon.

“Most people who come to town and don’t know that they can’t do it are told at some point,” he said. “We try to do it more often as a verbal warning than a ticketed offense, although sometimes you need to do that.”

Levy said his major concern was traffic safety. “Our roads are really not designed to accommodate skateboards,” he said.

“Think about how many accidents we have with bicycles and scooters. If you threw skateboards into the mix, I think See TRAFFIC on Page 11

MSDE says grant allocations are representative of state poverty Worcester County loses after-school funding in competitive process ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Following last week’s announcement by Worcester County School officials that the district’s AfterSchool Academies program would be suffering a “disturbing and disappointing” cut in state funding, the Maryland State Department of Education has clarified that the loss of grant money is less of an outright cutback in state support and more of a “can’t-win-them-all” scenario in a process that is becoming more and more competitive.

Worcester’s After-School Academies, which offer reinforcement and enrichment activities for students to compliment what they’ve learned in the classroom, have been funded for the past nine years at the fourth and fifth grade level, and the past three years at the sixth through eighth grade level, through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) grant program.

“It was disturbing and disappointing to learn that our highly successful afterschool programs, which are supporting student success and cultivating STEM [the district’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics initiative]

skills, have not received the necessary funding,” county Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson said in a previous press release.

While it is a federally defined program, CCLC is administered at the state level.

Maryland allots roughly $4 million each year through CCLC to support a number of educational development initiatives, according to state education department After School Programs Coordinator Kelly Coates. Programs are funded for three years, although they must meet certain requirements every year to keep receiving their funding.

“When you are funded, you are funded for three years, though you have to commit to submitting reports and meeting the goals of your proposal,” Coates said.

“At the end of those three years, you would then have to re-apply. We are unique in that we actually allow our grantees to re-apply, since many states do not.”

Out of 56, applications this year, only 13 were funded, for a total annual commitment of roughly $3.5 million.

“It is a competitive process, so at the end of the three years, they are submitting a new proposal just like anyone else,” Coates said. “As far as providing the funding, it is a competitive application, so we can’t just say that we’re going to give you funding because you’ve already had it before.”

The selection process itself is dependent on peer review by a group of assessors

picked from educational institutions across the state. The judging process involves a detailed formula, Coates said, and is limited in its subjectivity.

“They’re scored entirely by the external peer reviewers,” she explained. “They have a consensus meeting about the proposals they scored, come up with final numbers, and that info is ranked. We don’t really have a further say in it at all.”

Coates emphasized that it would be impossible for the state to support, in perpetuity, every program whose application it had funded over the years. The idea, she said, “is that you will be able to sustain the program at the end of the grant period.”

“We encourage partnerships as a way of making that happen,” Coates said.

“Which is a part of the actual proposal, schools have to have buy-in with a community or faith-based organization.”

She also said that programs are actually given less funding in their third year in anticipation of this, receiving 85 percent of the amount they were allotted in the first two.

Worcester officials were quick to point out previously that none of this year’s grantees were from the Eastern Shore.

Eight of the programs are in Baltimore City, while the others are in Prince George’s, Saint Mary’s, Frederick, Howard, and Baltimore Counties.

But Coates denied that this year’s funding was an indication that the state was pandering to its urban base. “It’s not

geared towards city or rural or suburban.

Our main goal is to serve kids that are in poverty,” she said.

CCLC mandates that approved programs seek to serve children in high poverty areas, largely defined by the percentage of students receiving free or reduced meals because of their family’s income. Although considered a “rich” county for state appropriation purposes, Worcester does have high concentrations of poverty in areas of the county that are outside of Ocean City’s economic reach.

The county’s after-school programs serve three schools, which are part of Maryland’s Title I program for low-income regions.

“We recognize that there are areas in the entire state that have poverty,” Coates said. However, she noted that this year’s geographic distribution of CCLC monies was fairly reflective of the state’s poverty distribution as a whole.

“I would say that half of this year’s group is in urban areas, a quarter in suburban areas, and another quarter in rural areas, which is pretty representative,” Coates said.

The CCLC process has gotten more competitive over its lifespan, Coates said, and will probably continue to do so.

“It’s a combination of many different things,” she said. “More and more people are finding out about the program and we’ve worked to publicize it. Outside of that, just because of the economy, people are looking harder for the money. It doesn’t exist the way it used to.”

O’Malley calls for Aug. 9 gambling special session ALEXANDER PYLES ■ The Daily Record Newswire (Aug. 3, 2012) Gov. Martin O’Malley, saying he wants to remove what has become a major roadblock to progress in the State House, announced Friday that a special session of the General Assembly will be held Aug. 9 to discuss expanding the state’s casino gambling program.

“Let’s put this issue behind us,” O’Malley said.

Standing between Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., D-Calvert and Prince George’s, and House of Delegates Speaker Michael E. Busch, D-Anne Arundel, O’Malley said legislation would legalize table games, such as poker and blackjack, allow a sixth casino to be constructed in Prince George’s County.

Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and a slew of other supporters were present, also.

Legalizing table games alone could bring in $100 million in revenue this fiscal year, O’Malley said.

Both measures are subject to voter approval in a November referendum.

Busch said if a majority of voters in See SESSION on Page 8

Maryland losing more small businesses than its neighbors MARIA ZILBERMAN ■ The Daily Record Newswire (Aug. 3, 2012) Maryland lost 4.71 percent, or 6,494, of its small businesses from 2007 to 2010, a decrease that one fiscal policy group chalks up to the state’s tax increases. But some economic experts say that is only part of the answer.

Maryland fared about the same as Delaware, but lost a higher percentage of business than its other neighbors, according to U.S. Census figures for businesses with 1 to 99 employees.

Delaware lost 4.72 percent, or 1,176 businesses; West Virginia lost 4.51 percent, or 1,789 businesses; Virginia lost 3.66 percent, or 7,170 businesses; and Pennsylvania lost 2.64 percent, or 7,854 businesses. Washington, D.C. gained 523 businesses, or 2.59 percent.

Nationwide, there was a 3.89 percent decrease in small businesses.

“The overwhelming evidence shows that Maryland is bleeding businesses, jobs and taxpayers at an alarming rate and at a much faster rate than anyone else in our region, and we believe it’s because of the increased spending and increased taxes that are putting such a burden on our economy,” said Larry Hogan, a former member of Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.’s cabinet and chairman of Change Maryland, a group that advocates for responsible government fiscal policy.

Hogan’s group, which has recently re-

leased several reports critical of the state’s economic policies, released a statement Monday highlighting the census figures.

Still, Hogan acknowledged that “taxpayers leave for lots of reasons, you lose jobs for all kinds of reasons, and you lose businesses for all kinds of reasons.”

That’s precisely what makes numbers harder to decipher, said Phillip L. Swagel, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy.

“The problem is that it’s hard to isolate the impact of tax policies on business formation from other factors,” Swagel said.

“For example, government spending has increased over this period and that likely contributed to the improvement in D.C., while increased military spending likewise contributed to job creation and business formation in Virginia.

“The relatively weak performance of [Maryland] reflects many factors. Taxes are one of them and likely have been a factor, but it’s hard to know how salient compared to other factors,” he said.

While the state acknowledges the business losses from 2007 to 2010, that’s only half of the story, said Raquel Guillory, spokeswoman for Gov. Martin O’Malley.

“The Bush recession started in December of 2007 and ended in June of 2009,” she said. “While Maryland did lose jobs during the recession, as did every state, we have recovered 65 percent of the jobs we lost,” she said.

That equates to adding back 94,300 jobs since February 2010, ranking Mary-

land as 12th best among the states for job recovery, she said.

West Virginia has recovered 72 percent, ninth; Virginia has recovered 70 percent, 10th; Pennsylvania has recovered 63 percent 13th; and Delaware has recovered 34 percent, 29th. The national average is 44 percent, Guillory said.

Peter Morici, a professor at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business and an international economics and economic policy expert, said it’s not surprising that Virginia lost a lower percentage of businesses.

“The kinds of issues that Prince George’s County and Baltimore have had don’t make them a desirable place to locate a business, especially Baltimore, and Virginia just doesn’t have that,” he said, alluding to the quality of the public school systems in those two parts of Maryland and drawing a comparison to Arlington, Va. Maryland ranks 42nd in The Tax Foundation’s 2012 State Business Tax Climate Index, while Virginia ranks 26th. The Tax Foundation is a D.C.-based think tank that addresses tax policies and “the size of the tax burden,” according to its website.

While taxes are significant, the effects of regulation can’t be overlooked, Morici said.

“Just the proclivity of the government to write a rule about everything that exists, it just makes it a tough environment,” Morici said, adding that Maryland’s business environment is “kind of a metaphor and encapsulation of what’s happening to the country.

Gov. O’Malley announces 28 new bikeways grant winners (Aug. 3, 2012) As part of the O’Malley Administration’s Cycle Maryland Initiative, Gov. Martin O’Malley last week announced 28 winners of the Bikeways Program Grants. The Maryland Bikeways Program, administered by the Maryland Department of Transportation, was established in November 2011 as a program to support planning, design and construction of projects that create and improve bicycle connections in Maryland to key destinations, like work, school and shopping.

O’Malley’s program is providing $3.13 million for this round of grants to seven counties, Baltimore City and 12 other municipalities for a variety of projects in different stages of development from feasibility assessment and design to construction. The grant winning projects include on- and off-road bicycle route connections, bike route signage, bike racks and safety improvements. On the Eastern Shore, Shore Transit was awarded funding for bike racks on buses and at key stations. A complete list of projects is available online at http://bit.ly/OsNqzZ. These grant recipients are the second set of awardees announced this year bringing the total to 48 bikeways grant recipients and $5.63 million for 2012.

terest in working together to build a more comprehensive bike network statewide that will benefit our citizens,” O’Malley said. “These grants will help local jurisdictions build key connections that make bicycling a true transportation option. Bicycling is a win-win for all of us by helping us learn to enjoy more of Maryland’s natural treasures, reducing the impact on the land, improving our fitness and well-being, and enhancing our quality of life.”

The Maryland Bikeways Program grant applications are reviewed with the goal of awarding grants to support plans and projects that maximize the use of Maryland’s existing bicycle facilities, make needed connections and support Maryland’s bike sharing efforts.

O’Malley kicked off his Cycle Maryland Initiative to consolidate and coordinate bicycle programs in Maryland in an effort to make bicycling a true transportation alternative and to encourage more residents to get out and ride. The goal is to support Maryland’s economy, to provide a cleaner environment and to encourage a healthier lifestyle and a better quality of life.

(Aug. 3, 2012) Three people were rescued Monday after the boat they were on started taking on water about 25 miles southeast of Ocean City.

The anchor of the Last One, a 27-footlong pleasure boat, damaged the hull and water started entering it. At about 12:15 p.m., the boat’s operator contacted Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads, which dispatched rescue crews aboard a helicopter from Coast Guard Station Atlantic City, N.J., and a 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from the Coast Guard Station in Ocean City.

Three crew members aboard the Lil Angler II, a 38-foot fishing vessel in the area, responded to the broadcast and went to the Last One to help. Arriving on the scene at about 12:30 p.m,, the good Samaritans transferred a pump to the boat and remained with it until Coast Guard crews arrived.

“The crew of the good Samaritan boat made this one of the easiest cases I’ve worked,” stated Lt. Joseph Heal, a pilot from Air Station Atlantic City. “They lent their hand pump to the sinking vessel, provided updated position reports and popped an emergency smoke signal, which allowed us to locate the sinking vessel quickly and provide immediate assistance. If they had not been there, we could have been searching a large area for three people in the water.”

At about 1 p.m., the helicopter crew arrived and transferred a pump and rescue swimmer to the Last One. Forty minutes later, the Coast Guard boat crew arrived on scene and one of its crew went aboard the Last One to relieve the rescue swimmer, who had been assisting in pumping the water from the boat.

“With the good Samaritans being first on scene and able to transfer a dewatering pump to the distressed vessel, this bought the Last One’s crew time until the Coast Guard was able to render assistance,” said FN Nathaniel Cassar of Coast Guard Station Ocean City.

Prince George’s County do not vote for a sixth casino, that measure would not be approved, regardless of the statewide vote.

Meanwhile, Anne Arundel County and Cecil County will not see a reduction in the amount of money they receive as part of the revenue generated by Hollywood Casino Perryville and Maryland Live at Arundel Mills mall.

“They will be held harmless for their local share of the money,” Busch said.

As for casino operators, adjustments will be made to minimize the impact they feel from additional competition to the south.

Miller said the bill will be finished in the first week of August. The session is expected to last about three days, he said.

Va. Coast Guard investigating boat that sank off Ocean City Nine people were aboard 38-foot vessel that took on water; passengers rescued NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) The sinking of a 38foot-long boat 46 miles east of Ocean City on Saturday is under investigation.

Nine people were aboard the boat and all were rescued.

A 47-foot motor life boat and crew from Coast Guard Station Ocean City were in the area when the distress call was made via VHF-FM radio at about 10:30 a.m. because it was towing a vessel from the Hot Dog fishing area back to Ocean City.

“We were instructed to drop the

other tow,” said BMI Joshua Marzi.

The Coast Guard boat headed toward the sinking boat to render assistance.

“We got there two minutes after it sank,” Marzi said.

A Coast Guard air crew from Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., which had been helping another boat nearby, helped pull the passengers of the boat from the water.

Two good Samaritan vessels helped in the rescue.

The Coast Guard boat from Station Ocean City took all nine people back to the station to await emergency medical services. Some had been injured.

Marzi said Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads is handling the investigation. Because of that investigation, the Coast Guard is not releasing the name of the boat, he said.

Caroline St. stage, restroom design finalized; more traditional ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Ordinarily, saying performing arts and public restrooms in the same breath would earn an arched eyebrow, but not in the case of the proposed replacement of the Caroline Street Comfort Station, which the City Council approved Thursday.

The re-vamped design of the new comfort station will incorporate more traditional seaside architecture in what will otherwise be a high-efficiency, ecofriendly structure that doubles as a performing arts venue and a public restroom.

The new structure will replace the current public bathroom at Caroline Street, an aging concrete blockhouse that has often been referred to in project discussions as having a “bunker” like appearance. Construction will take place in the

coming off-season, concurrent with the second and final phase of Boardwalk renovations that will see much of the walkway’s supporting substructure replaced.

The facility has undergone multiple previous design revisions. The last time plans were presented to council, an hour’s discussion occurred about how the structure would fit in with the rest of Ocean City’s architectural aesthetic, with comments ranging from “different,” to “futuristic,” to Council President Jim Hall’s request that the design incorporate more “gingerbread” façade elements that reflect the rest of the city’s attempt to maintain a thematic element of coastal architecture.

City Engineer Terry McGean expressed concern at that time that multiple, incongruous design tweaks would result in a “mish-mash” effect. At this week’s session, contracted architect David Quillin said he has “made more substantial design

we’d probably have more.”

Vitak and Swistak agreed that skating on the smaller downtown streets, particularly St. Louis Avenue, which has a dedicated bike lane, is much easier than doing so on Coastal Highway.

Councilman Doug Cymek said Tuesday that his impression was that lifting the ban would be done on a street-by-street

basis. “I think she [DiPino] would just like us to convene in the fall and talk this through thoroughly, because there may be some streets that would be acceptable and some that would not.”

Hall, however, was for more de-restriction sooner. “I think we should do this now. The only place that I would see where we would have to keep it off would be the Boardwalk.”

changes to really incorporate the language that you’ve used in the design of other buildings.”

“The mechanical functioning of the building has not changed,” Quillin said.

“The big changes are really in the roof. Instead of being a barrel-vaulted roof with the canopy, it’s a more traditional gabled roof. And we do have exposed trusses on the ends.”

“I like the stage cover, I like that it’s solid instead of the canvas and the maintenance that goes with that,” Hall said The design goal of the project, however, remains the same – a low-maintenance, high-efficiency solution to replace the existing public facility that has become a quagmire of upkeep. Most notably, Quillin’s design incorporates two 30-foot solar chimneys, which will serve to trap heat and create a natural updraft to ventilate the restrooms without the use of fans.

Air will be drawn in underground through vents, the openings of which will be located inside a nearby “doghouse” enclosure that also houses electrical paneling, according to Quillin and McGean.

The building will feature 25 restroom fixtures, nearly doubling the number available on the women’s side, as well as two public showers. It will also provide a permanent beachfront performing arts venue, given that the city already frequently holds concert events on a temporary stage set up on the Caroline Street beach. The new stage, which is nestled between the two bathroom wings, will have 600 square feet of performance room with essentially unlimited seating, given that it faces the beach.

Council was anxious to finalize the design given that construction is imminent.

“We’re going to get this thing done today,” Hall said at the outset of the meeting.

Chef arrested for sex crimes; Berlin Tex-mex restaurant to be renamed NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Paco’s Tex-Mex & Beyond restaurant was expected to open this week on North Main Street in Berlin, but those plans changed when Francisco “Paco” Lopez, 40, was arrested and charged with thirdand fourth-degree sex offenses and sex abuse of a minor.

The new Tex-Mex restaurant is now expected to open in the next few weeks and it will have a different name.

Lopez, 40, a chef who had consulted on the project, had a barbecue at his West Ocean City

residence on Golf Course Road on July 22. Someone invited the child’s mother and she took her 4-year-old daughter with her.

At some point during the party, the child and another child were playing upstairs. After they had been inside for a few minutes, one child returned outside and told the other girl’s mother that Lopez had touched her daughter.

During an interview with a detective, the girl reportedly said that Lopez’s actions made her “sad.” According to charging documents, Lopez pulled down her shorts and checked the child’s private parts.

The case has been moved from District Court in Snow Hill to Circuit Court.

Lopez is being held in the Worcester County jail on $50,000 bond.

The sign that read “Paco’s TexMex & Beyond” was removed from the building last week. The business had recently joined the Berlin Chamber of Commerce.

The restaurant, located at 119 N. Main St., was a former rooming house and has undergone extensive renovations.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Solvers of the Lower Eastern Shore at 410-548-1776.

Councilman Ashley to TAB: funding decision and risk are yours Continued from Page 1

the council approved TAB’s recommendation as one that had come from a consensus group to which the council had already committed funding regardless of its use.

“I’m voting not for the movie, but for TAB,” said Councilman Brent Ashley.

“This is your choice and I’m voting with TAB to say that this decision is yours and the risk is yours.”

“Every bit of my business sense says no, but the city has authorized TAB and TAB has gone unanimously for this,” he said.

Further complicating the situation is that the city will most likely have to give the money indirectly — as Worcester County government did last week with its $100,000 movie contribution to the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce — as a grant to an associated non-profit group.

That group will then invest in the film.

According the City Solicitor Guy Ayres, film partnership “is what’s known as an unregulated security, and under Maryland law, investment in an unregulated security is not a permitted investment vehicle for a municipality or county.”

“You would need to find an entity in Ocean City or the county whose charter would allow them to do this, and then, you make a grant to this organization, and like you do with any other state or federal grant, you have strings attached on the returns,” Ayres continued.

Ayres’ suggestion was to go through the Chamber of Commerce as well, and Councilman Doug Cymek said he had already

spoken with chamber Executive Director Melanie Pursel about its different tax entities.

Cymek, however, also expressed caution. “I want to go on the record as saying there are some gray areas to this, although I do believe there will be some immediate return on our investment,” he said.

The possibility of funding the film arose in June, when producer George Rush sent an e-mail to the mayor and City Council stating that he was the lead producer of the project and had been working for some time with the “local champion” of the film, Ruth Waters of the Harrison Group, on shooting the movie entirely on-location in Ocean City.

Rush later held a reception at Ocean City’s Hilton Hotel to introduce the film, where he and writer/director Michael Tully emphasized that the film “is a postcard of Ocean City that will get out there in the world in a very meaningful and positive way.”

As previously reported by several entertainment Web sites, the film will star Sarandon in a coming-of-age tale about a teenage boy obsessed with table tennis and early hip-hop music, and his memorable family vacation to Ocean City in the summer of 1985. Rush also confirmed that James Nesbitt, Amy Sedaris and Judah Friedlander have signed on as key actors.

Describing the film as a “sincere coming-of-age comedy,” Tully has drawn parallels to 1984’s “The Karate Kid,” which shares a similar young-underdog theme and has attained a sort of cult status as a

standard of the 1980’s childhood experience.

In their recent prospectus for the film, Rush and Tully further clarified that Ping Pong Summer “is first and foremost a comedy, and with its soundtrack full of mid-1980s music, it will have style and flair. But it is also going to be made with absolute sincerity. This is not going to be a winking satire of the ’80s. By shooting on 16mm film, telling the story as if it were made in 1985, and removing the prism of hindsight, the hope is for the audience to think that they’re actually watching a lost gem from 1985.”

However, according to Rush, the Maryland Film Office rebate that the producers had applied for did not come up during the recent budget snarl in Annapolis. The rebate would have refunded 25 percent of all in-state costs, which Rush estimated to be $1.2 million of the film’s overall $1.5 million budget, leaving a hole of roughly $300,000.

Last week, the Worcester County Commissioners disclosed that they would commit to funding $100,000 if Ocean City were willing to do the same. Rush and his team were also seeking local investors to close the rest of the gap. Their prospectus explains that 90 percent of the film’s revenues will go towards repaying investors, until investors have recouped 115 percent of their initial investment. After that, 50 percent of all revenue in perpetuity will go to investors.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, newly appointed TAB chairman Greg Shockley

said the board “feels that film investment is a viable role that government has and that thus TAB has,” as far as the film serves to market the town.

“It allows Ocean City to be placed within a film … Ocean City is not on the casting roll, but it is a major player or even an actor, if you will, in this movie,” Shockley said. “If you read the script, there’s even a montage down the Boardwalk that shows everything.”

“We want Ocean City to be a natural partner … it’s really important to Mike [Tully] that it has some authenticity,” said Rush, who also answered questions Tuesday.

Maryland Film Office head Jack Gerbes was also at the meeting to lend his support, even though the MFO was unable to subsidize the project. Gerbes said many other areas of the state had contributed to films on the promise of publicity alone, without any investment opportunity.

“When George told me about that, I was surprised. To give this town the opportunity not only for some public relations, but a means to directly recoup the investment, that’s setting a precedent in Maryland right now,” he said.

Many other areas that were used for filming, Gerbes added, saw significant impact even though they were not tourist towns. Berlin, where a good portion of “Runaway Bride” was shot, continues to use its role in that movie in its marketing efforts.

“Think of what a tourist-oriented area could do with something like ‘Ping Pong

Investment chance closely scrutinized Summer,’” Gerbes said.

However, the council had a number of critical questions for Gerbes and Rush.

Councilwoman Mary Knight asked that Rush be able to itemize some of the expenses that the city’s money would actually be used on.

“I would feel very uncomfortable just writing a $100,000 check, since we are government and we are accountable,” she said.

“There are line items in the budget that we can disclose to you, such as hotel or restaurant spending, things that would see the money spent here,” Rush replied.

Councilman Joe Hall also inquired extensively about the possibility that the movie would not be completed. Ping Pong Summer will not be acquiring a bond for the completion of the film.

“When we had our memo of understanding with TAB, it was a strong conviction with some of my colleagues about bonding certain proposals that come to town so that we guarantee the followthrough of the applicant,” Hall said.

“A completion bond is very common in the industry when you move forward without all the money in place,” Rush replied. “In our case, $1.1 million is enough to get it done. It would be more common in a $50 million film where you have $40 million but not enough to get through post-production.”

Rush had previously noted that Sarandon and other actors would be working at actor’s union scale wages, and not receiving any additional contract pay, since the film is an independent production for which the actors have significant personal passion. He also said that regardless of bonding, the film would have a “fiduciary responsibility” to follow through for its investors.

“They also don’t need to gap their financing at any point,” added Gerbes. “Another time you’d use a bond is if you have troublesome or prone-to-troublesome above-the-line talent.”

“So you’ve eliminated Lindsay Lohan from the cast?” quipped Mayor Rick Meehan.

Meehan also had his own requests, namely that Rush be able to write into the contract that certain city landmarks will definitely be featured. “There are a lot of things that you shoot in a movie and then end up on the cutting room floor,” Meehan said.

“We can certainly do that. I think Mike would kill me if we didn’t,” Rush answered.

Meehan’s impression seemed to mirror that of his colleagues. “I think it’s their [TAB’s] decision as well. If they’ve determined that this is a commitment they want to make, then that’s what the council should act upon,” he said.

The final ruling seemed to be that the guarantees of good public relations stood to outweigh an investment that council generally saw as poor. “I’m not thinking it so far out, as to say ‘Oh my God, what if we don’t’ get our money back,’” said Council President Jim Hall. “If nothing else, you’re going to get a hell of a commercial.”

The vote for support was unanimous, with Councilwoman Margaret Pillas absent due to illness.

Rich Mason walks through future noir on Boardwalk zoning beat ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Rich Mason is the Rick Deckard of zoning enforcement.

On a balmy Wednesday night, Mason strolls the Boardwalk – official city government-issue polo shirt, khaki shorts, bright white sneakers, clipboard and pen and an ID badge that makes the DMV’s headshots look glamorous. He sticks out like a sore thumb.

“People ask me what I’m doing and I tell them straight up. They don’t even think that there would be someone out here doing this,” Mason said.

Yet much like Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford’s iconic Blade Runner protagonist, Mason is seemingly at odds with his environment at the same time that he is highly in tune with it.

“You know better than to check me, man,” said one T-shirt shop clerk as Mason measured the distance from his henna tattoo stand to the edge of the Boardwalk. The minimum distance is 10 feet.

“Famous last words,” Mason quipped.

Mason is intimately familiar with almost all the shop owners and employees who show their wares on the boards, like high school sports rivals whose competitive nature is tempered by the common ground they share in the game. In this case, it’s the cat-and-mouse game of Boardwalk display restrictions.

After taking early retirement from 30 years of corporate employment in Baltimore, Mason moved to Ocean City, where,

although formally finished with his career, he began what wound up doing a 12-year stint as a business license inspector for the city before he stopped working once again.

But following further municipal staff cuts last year, the city found that many of its code enforcement elements were falling short during the heavy summer months, particularly in Planning and Zoning, where Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith and Inspector Ray Schmidt were the only men left doing P&Z’s fieldwork.

Part-time hires were authorized, although the complexity of the job – despite its short duration – necessitated a veteran.

After all, they don’t advertise for killers in the newspaper.

“I guess I thought it would give me something to do. And exercise, you know, with all the walking. Although I found I have trouble getting past Thrasher’s,” Mason said. “That smell just draws you in.”

Mason’s beat is exclusive to a place that, despite being the resort’s most lucrative stretch of property, has also always been a policy nightmare for City Hall. It has only been since 2009 that the city formally codified its rules regarding Boardwalk displays, rules that are considerably more stringent than they are elsewhere in town.

A T-shirt shop on Coastal Highway, for instance, can simply apply for a commercial permit to put up whatever signs it desires. The same shop on the Boardwalk, however, must get a display allowance that goes through the review of both the city and its sanctioned non-profit im-

provement group – the Boardwalk Development Association.

“I don’t think a lot of people realize what these business owners have to go through, but obviously it pays off, because they all do it,” Mason said.

The 10-foot setback requirement applies only to the Boardwalk north of Third Street – the portion below was built before city code required any setback as all, hence the stores being right up against the boards. Still, anything mounted exterior to the shop’s entrance is subject to zoning approval and cannot encroach at all onto the boards themselves.

“The first night I started, I walked on down at the inlet and looked up the row and all I could see were these guys standing out on the boards selling bubble guns,” Mason said. “I called Blaine and asked him, ‘Aren’t they not supposed to display outside the store?’ And he says ‘yup.’ So I ask, ‘Should I just start citing all of them?’ And he says ‘yup.’”

Every store, even without a display permit, is allowed to have one A-frame sign of no more than eight feet. The height is rarely a problem – it’s the content. The city prohibits any displays from having profanity, sex, or drug references. And Mason is a master at scanning the T-shirts.

“You just learn to know what the signs are suppose to look like after a while,” Mason said, “and you know right away if something changed.” One time, he noticed a display of several dozen small T-shirt prints that somehow seemed different

than a few days before. It took him only a few seconds to realize why. “They had slipped one in there that said ‘bulls**t,’” Mason said. “There must’ve been 50 or 60 different ones, but there it was.”

Many shops, however, have adopted the time-tested strategy of simply putting tape over the offending words of shirts.

But this isn’t always fool-proof. “I was out here once when it was windy and I saw the tape fly right off the shirt. It said ‘f**k’ underneath,” Mason recalled. “That was priceless. I got that guy.”

But although Mason admits to enjoying catching violators, he’s by no means a puritan. When pointing out T-shirts, he’s not above saying the words printed on them, nor does he pronounce the asterisks printed in this article as asterisks. “I just think of it as if I had a young kid with me,” he said.

“You don’t want kids to be bombarded with it. But it doesn’t matter to me personally.

Some of these are actually pretty clever.”

Mason sets his own schedule, partly to keep shopkeepers on their toes. “Blaine told me, ‘You can work when you want, as long as they know you’re there.’ That’s why I make a point of them seeing me,” Mason said.

“Blaine wanted to try having me go ‘undercover’ as well, but I’m not really interested,” Mason continued. For him, the whole point is having the shops know that someone is keeping up to them. “I think they’ve finally cleaned it up a bit this year,” Mason said. “You just have to keep after them.”

Crash study shows Kaczynski was traveling 90 mph at impact

DelRicco suffered a ruptured carotid artery, blood on the back of her brain and a broken arm. Ava, 18 months old, suffered a severe head injury. She had a skull fracture and her brain swelled.

“It required removal of part of her skull,” Oglesby said.

A crash reconstruction showed that Kaczynski speed “grossly exceeded the 40 mile-per-hour speed limit” and there was “no evidence of pre-impact breaking.”

The reconstructionist put the minimum speed Kaczynski was traveling at 90.45 miles per hour at impact and at 98 miles per hour one block before the impact.

A blood sample taken from Kaczynski after the collision showed that he had no alcohol in his system, but he tested positive for PCP. He told police he did not recall being in a collision.

Six days after that collision, officers from the Narcotics Unit of the Ocean City Police Department served a search and seizure warrant at Kaczynski’s Ocean Pines residence. The found a metal pipe with PCP residue and a beer can with a trace of marijuana. The PCP weighed 28.1 grams.

McFadden spoke up and said that the PCP had actually been found in Kaczynski’s trash on Dec. 21 and the weight of the PCP was caused mostly by the container and not the drug. McFadden said little else

Ocean City adopts absentee policy ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (August 3, 2012) Following the recent change of the Ocean City’s municipal election date to coincide with the national contest, the City Council moved Tuesday to observe the state’s and county’s voting policies as well.

Polls will now be open until 8 p.m. and defined excuses will no longer be required to apply for an absentee ballot.

Since last year, the city has been investigating changing its absentee policy to match the “no-excuse” policy adopted by the state, and thus the county, which runs local polling for all contests except Ocean City’s independent municipal ballot.

The previous state policy, and Ocean City’s current policy, is that absentee voters must sign an affidavit listing a goodfaith reason for being unable to vote at the polls. Absentee ballots can be applied for up to seven days before the election date, although emergency ballots can be requested from the Board of Elections Supervisors up through the day of the election for those who have personal or family emergencies.

There was some debate, however, as to when to close the application period for absentee voting, with some worried that allowing absentee applications the day of the election would essentially turn City Hall into a polling place for those who would prefer to fill out an absentee ballot there instead of voting at the convention center’s polls.

“I just can’t say, if you have 150 or 200 people come in that day [it could be a logistical problem],” said Mary Adeline Bradford, head of the city’s Board of Elections Supervisors.

“The issue is the uncertainty of the situation as to whether or not it’s going to work or not, so I don’t see why cutting it off the Monday before is putting anybody at a disadvantage [while eliminating logistical questions],” said Councilman Doug Cymek.

Councilman Brent Ashley disagreed, preferring that applications be accepted for as long as possible to maximize voter turnout.

However, under state law, voters would still be able to apply for emergency absentee ballots after the regular application period had passed, up through the day of the election. City Clerk Kelly Allmond said that the city already has a similar such policy for surrogate ballots.

“On election days in the past, we’ve had it where somebody slips and falls and is in the hospital, and somebody comes in and gets their absentee ballot,” Allmond said.

The council moved 5-1, with Ashley opposed and Councilwoman Margaret Pillas absent, to mirror the state timeline.

“If the public perception is that there’s one set of rules in Ocean City and another in the county, it makes for a very difficult situation,” said Bradford.

“If we’re going to make this practical for the voter, we need to have defined times,” agreed Mayor Rick Meehan.

Councilman Joe Hall also noted that there could be confusion in moving the poll closing time to the state-defined 8 See VOTER on Page 19

p.m., as opposed to the city’s previous 7 p.m. time. Voters could find they get in line in time for one poll, but exit too late to get in line for the other.

Mayor Rick Meehan said he was confident that there would be some way to allow anyone arriving before 8 p.m. to vote in both elections, even though they would be held in separate spaces.

“I think we’ll be able to work it out so that they can enter a defined voting area [that encompasses both city and county polls],” Meehan said.

(Aug. 3, 2012) Natural Resources Police officers have a new way to spot unsafe boating practices or other violations on the water: looking from the air.

Riding as passengers in a Maryland State Police helicopter, the officers will scan the waters off Ocean City as a way to emphasize safety among boaters and personal watercraft operators.

“We’ll have units on the water and as we spot violations, we’ll contact them,” Sgt. Brian Albert of the Natural Resources Police said Monday.

airborne officers will look for speeding violations, reckless driving, alcohol use and boaters not using required safety equipment. The coverage area will concentrate on Assawoman Bay and Isle of Wight Bay because of the large number of boaters and personal watercraft users.

The project is expected to start this weekend and continue through Labor Day, Albert said.

Albert said the officers hope to be in the helicopter two or three times per week, but that could vary because of weather, personnel and other factors.

Fourteen Natural Resources Police officers were trained by the Maryland State

Police Aviation Command to work alongside flight crews. Their training focused on safety, crew resource management, water egress and emergency procedures.

The Natural Resources Police is the lead agency in enforcing boating laws and regulations.

To help this new enforcement project, the Aviation Command started patrolling Ocean City’s waters at the beginning of the summer. In addition, some members of the Ocean City Beach Patrol were trained to rescue swimmers from a helicopter in an emergency if needed.

Rock and hard place affect school programs In the course of explaining how state grants for afterschool programs didn’t go where some would have liked, the department of education’s After School Program coordinator, Kelly Coates, said one thing that is becoming ever more apparent.

“Just because of the economy, people are looking harder for the money. It doesn’t exist the way it used to,” she said.

It most certainly does not in government, where elected officials are caught between the financial rocks and the political hard places that they and their predecessors created.

Although businesses have to retrench or come up with new products and better operational approaches all the time, government doesn’t do well in that department. In addition, the various political segments focus more on demonizing the opposition and trying to whip up voter frenzy than they do on looking for reasonable answers.

One reason for that is because so many people have adopted the attitude that government can do what it must as long as it doesn’t do it to them. Politicians, naturally, take note of that and are loathe to act in any fashion that might jeopardize their relationship with those supporters who want to be left alone while someone else pays.

In this particular instance, the rejection of the Board of Education’s request for continued funding for its afterschool programs is just one victim of the subsequent political inertia. There simply isn’t enough money to go around and no one can or is willing to do anything about it.

That’s a shame, since outside of the resort area’s economic sphere of influence, Worcester County has some serious poverty problems and the only way out for the children in these impoverished areas is through a better education.

Unfortunately, it might be one of those little things that slips through the cracks while everyone else is preoccupied with looking for money that can be saved or obtained without making the wrong people mad.

Money wasted on ammo purchases?

Editor, That was a good article on the front page about Ocean City buying 86,000 rounds of ammo. But your article failed to mention how much money we are wasting buying all this ammo.

Let’s say the Ocean City Police Department has 200 members that carry guns. That is 4,300 bullets per police officer. You should have contacted the OCPD to ask them how many times has an officer fired his gun in the last several years. The answer is probably fewer than five or six times. Don’t you think the OCPD could save up taxpayers some money and cut back on the ammo they buy?

Disappointment over contest process Editor, I know I speak for a lot of people in voicing my disappointment in the town of Ocean City for the way it handled the choosing of the “Ocean City Official Song of the Summer.”

The idea to choose an official song of the summer was proposed

by Councilman Jim Hall because he heard Tim Landers’ (a local entertainer in OC for many years) song, “It’s a Shore Thing, Ocean City, Md.” “It’s A Shore Thing” is a happy, upbeat song about Ocean City that everybody loves to sing along to. A video was also created to go along with the song and to date has received 33,540 hits on YouTube.

The rules of the contest to choose the Song of the Summer stated that no businesses could be mentioned in the song, so Tim revised his song for the contest, as his song mentioned several Ocean City icons.

Out of the 55 songs submitted for the contest, three were chosen by “Ocean City’s advertising agency” for the public to vote on.

What a bum deal for Tim Landers and the many fans of his song, that his song was not even selected to be in the top three. No disrespect to the singer/songwriters of the ones chosen to be in the top three, but wouldn’t you think that Tim Landers’ song deserved a chance to be heard and voted on in the contest?

I believe the “town” showed a lot of disrespect for our own Tim Landers and his awesome Ocean City song, “It’s A Shore Thing, Ocean City, Md.” Starr Cropper Bradford George Bishopville

Taking credit for reducing spending Editor, The costs associated with hiring a new city manager and with the recently enacted financial reforms pale in comparison to the costs of years of bloated budgets and excessive hiring. The country club attitude that permeated city spending at the taxpayers’ expense (remember the fleet of employee takehome cars, the up to $20,000 per employee/per year salary increases for all department/division heads and the escalation of six-figure employee salaries?) was not sustain-

able and had to stop — and it has.

For those on the council, both past and present, the mayor and people in the administration during the spending spree years to now try to take credit for reducing government spending by millions is laughable and disingenuous. If someone sets your house on fire and then wants to take credit for putting it out, do you say, “Thank you! Job well done”?

In a recent article in [a local newspaper], former City Manager Dennis Dare was quoted as saying, “As a team, we were able to reduce spending by $6 million.” It should also be noted that the number of city employees has been reduced by more than 100. The question is, if the city is able to provide all services and function efficiently for $6 million dollars and with more than 100 fewer employees, why was the $6 million being spent in the first place, and why did the city provide salaries and benefits so long for so many extra employees at the taxpayers’ expense ?

Although the economic downturn was clearly on the horizon in 2006 when the housing bubble began to burst and the recession officially starting in 2007, the council and administration were slow to react. A city hiring freeze was enacted in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2009, two years after the recession had begun, that a salary freeze was enacted (employee salaries continued to increase by millions during the recession years 2007 and 2008). The delay in implementing these cost savings initiatives cost the taxpayers additional millions.

By Stewart Dobson Like everyone else, I watch some portion of the Olympics, but unlike everyone else, I wonder why. That’s because television coverage of the Olympics focuses on events that are not, at any other time, a part of our visual entertainment culture.

While we are supposedly fascinated by the excellent execution of a triple whadooie (or whatever) with a half-twist, not to mention a back story about how this or that particular athlete overcame an addiction to elementary school paste or something to become a great champion, our biggest box office movies say our entertainment tastes are different.

Our best-selling movies go for the big boom, big car chases, big fighting, action and more action. But from what I’ve seen of the Olympics over the years, our real interests apparently are swimming and gymnastics, with a side of beach volleyball.

I will admit that certain aspects of beach volleyball do appeal to me, although, unfortunately, the women’s team from Argentina lost out early on.

But that aside, rarely will you ever see an action movie blockbuster about a pair of crime-fighting volleyball players, who use their incredible spiking abilities to bring peace and good order to a world on the brink of collapse.

And has anyone ever made a movie about a hero gymnast? Well, actually, yes.

“Gymkata” in 1985 starred Olympic gold medalist Kurt Thomas as a government agent, who combined his gymnastic ability with martial arts skills – yes, really – to do battle in the exotic, but unfortunately named country of “Parmistan.”

If you say, “I’ll have the grilled parmistan on rye, please,” you’ll have an idea of how well this movie fared at the box office.

And no disrespect to synchronized diving, which I find remarkable only because I can’t even get my own two feet to go in the same direction, but I don’t think I would be getting a free round at the bar were I to pipe up, “How about that synchronized diving! Anyone here see that?”

It is true that there have been many swimming movies, most notably “Tarzan” with Olympic gold medalist Johnny Weissmuller. But even then he ditched the bathing suit in favor of a loincloth.

“Tarzan no wear Speed-O.” But another movie favorite, archery, gets little Olympic television exposure, even though the silver screen has been flooded over the years with bow and arrow movies: most recently “The Hunger Games,” and more Robin Hoods than there are tight pants in Nottingham Castle.

And fencing. Every good movie in my mind has a solid sword fight, which leads me to wonder every four years just how well Zorro would fare in that narrow competition area in fencing known as a “piste.”

I can see Zorro now, walking up to the competition area and saying, Piste? Piste?

No, senor, I am not even slightly annoyed.”

Now that’s what I would call entertaining.

mayor and past administration failed to realize is that government spending shouldn’t rise and fall like the tide. Government should be the same size regardless of revenue or the economy. Surplus revenue should be used for essential services and infrastructure projects, not to grow government. For the mayor, former council members and some of my colleagues to continually question and criticize fiscally sound decisions intended to put Ocean City on a path for a more sustainable future is completely understandable. Their record of spending and growth in government clearly shows their philosophy about spending the taxpayer’s money.

The old political axiom is this: always blame the other fellow for the problems, even if you created them. Say it over and over again and continue to criticize the other guy and maybe, just maybe, enough voters will believe you. That didn’t happen

in the last election and I don’t believe it will in the next one, either.

Second-hand smoke a danger to all Editor, There has been a lot of press lately about the ban of smoking on the beach, Boardwalk and at Ocean City parks. One thing I just don’t understand is the protesting from those who think that it’s their “right” to smoke on the beach because they “pay taxes.” It’s not about rights and it’s not about taxes. It’s about second-hand smoke and the damage it does not only to the smoker, who just doesn’t seem to care, but also to those innocent people and children taking in their second-hand smoke. It’s a danger to all.

You may have the right to smoke, which I totally agree, but you don’t have the right to harm those around you with the poison you’re spewing out.

And what is it with parents who smoke around their kids on the Boardwalk? Don’t they realize that their second-hand smoke will probably adversely affect the health of their children for the rest of their lives? I was walking on the Boardwalk today and noticed that young teenaged children were smoking, too. While I smoked when I was their age, I wonder if I would today if I knew what I know now? I really hope they realize what they are doing to themselves.

The right thing to do is to completely ban smoking from the beach, Boardwalk and parks. For the main reason of the second-hand smoke, but also the gross littering of the Boardwalk. I realize there are “responsible smokers,” but unfortunately, judging from the smokers I’ve seen on the Continued on Page 22

Attending public hearing encouraged Editor, Notices for public hearings are posted in local papers routinely to give citizens the opportunity to attend these meeting where they may learn more about zoning changes, pending legislature and many other significant issues. It also provides an opportunity to communicate their opinions on these issues.

Far too often, the public does not utilize this opportunity. I would encourage Worcester County residents — and in particular, those who reside in the Ocean Pines and northern election districts

(Ocean Pines, Showell and Bishopville) — to attend the public hearing scheduled for Aug. 7, at 11 a.m. at the Worcester County Government Center, Room 1101. For confirmation of the agenda for that date call 410-632-1194 on Monday, Aug. 6.

A recent article in one of the local papers drew attention to the proposed rezoning request for property owned by J. Burbage, located on Route 589. This property (along with all properties in Worcester County) was reviewed in the Comprehensive Plan and reviewed again in 2009-10 in the Comprehensive Rezoning Plan. In both cases, it was decided that this property was most suited to retain its agricultural zoning status. To change a zoning classification, there must be one of two reasons: change in character of neighborhood or a mistake in zoning designation. I do not believe that the test has been met to support a change in taking this property from an agricultural (A-1) status to a commercial (C-2) status.

Should the rezoning occur, consider that what is stated for intended use may

not occur. The approved usage includes retail business, personal service businesses, restaurants, convenience stores, bars, night clubs, general and professional offices, bowling alleys, arcades, theaters, funeral homes, veterinary clinics or kennels including outside pens and runways, gas stations and self storage facilities. Also consider the future impact to traffic and the community surrounding this property.

I am hopeful that citizens will contact their county commissioners to express their views and more importantly to show up at this public hearing. While minds may have already been made up, if you don’t let your opinions be known, then it will be their assumption that they acted appropriately on the behalf of their constituency.

What happened to ‘those with more pay more?’

Editor, There is a question in this whole sixth casino mess.

When did Gov. Martin O’Malley start being more concerned with the best interest of the mega-rich casino owners over the well-being of the citizens who elected him?

Just look at the facts: Last legislative session, there were numerous tax and fee increases that affected every citizen in the state.

Then there was the increase in the income tax on the “wealthy” Marylanders who earn more than $100,000 a year, with the governor stating that those who earn more should be willing to pay more. Now, he wants to pass legislation that will give the millionaire

casino owners a 25-percent tax deduction while we continue to pay the increases.

What happened to those with more pay more?

I would love it if one of the big three in this casino mess — O’Malley, [House Speaker Michael] Busch and [Senate President Thomas V. Mike] Miller — would call me to explain exactly what they are thinking and why they believe the citizens of the state should continue to pay the highest tax rates in the country while they give their rich casino buddies a big break. Or, if someone would explain why all of a sudden Del. Busch decided this was a good idea and stood for the announcement.

I realize these powerful men have no time to talk with the little guy, but heck, I’ll even come to Annapolis and take whoever calls to lunch at Chick & Ruth’s or dinner at the Treaty of Paris.

There is a second question, also, with this.

If and when the sixth casino is built, will the citizens of Maryland also be stuck with paying for all the slot machines like we have been for the prior three? Will we be forced to give another $6 million or so to stock the casino with 4,000 slots? Just think of all the good things that could be done in this state with that $6 million instead of blowing it on slot machines.

Please, in the next week prior to the “special” session e-mail or call your senators and delegates to tell them there should be no tax breaks for the rich casino owners while we continue to have to pay our overly high state taxes and all those crazy high fees.

Wade-in a murky adventure to test water quality

BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

(Aug. 3, 2012) The Board of License Commissioners discussed the following issues during the July 25 meeting in Snow Hill.

115 Bayside Bar & Grill A new business, the 115 Bayside Bar & Grill, will open in the former Cowboyz site in the Gold Coast Mall at 115th Street.

Owner Judith Davis of Elkton will be on the premises occasionally at the bar and grill, which will be run by her son, Brian.

Brian Davis told the board he had been traveling around the United States helping failing restaurants get back on track.

He said the restaurant needs a sevenday beer, wine and liquor license to complement the food. He also said he expects to have 15 employees, including doormen who will ensure that no minors are allowed in after 9:30 p.m.

The board granted the request for the alcoholic beverage license and for the business to have up to three pieces of entertainment 7-11 p.m. five nights per week. There may not be any games, videos, pool tables or DJs.

Waystead Inn The board granted the request of Lucy Voorhees and Marc Kaufman, owners of the Waystead Inn in Berlin, to have a seven-day Continued on Page 37

(July 27, 2012) The wind apparently put a cooler on the inaugural wade-in at Isle of Wight Nature Park last Thursday, as the choppy water and churned-up bottom significantly reduced the bay’s clarity.

Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips and others who waded into the water at the canoe and kayak launch area could see their shoes at a water depth of 9 inches, but no deeper.

In wade-ins, waders keep walking out into water until they can no longer see their shoes. They are measuring the clarity of the water in a rather unscientific, but fun way, and it is sometimes called the “sneaker index.”

The wind, Phillips said, caused much of the bottom to be stirred up in the shallow bay, causing the water to be cloudy rather than clear. Also, a micro-algae bloom was present early in the summer and that made water less clear.

Phillips was not dismayed with the 9inch reading last Thursday because of the factors that caused it.

“If there had been no wind and 9 inches, that wouldn’t be good,” she said.

“Last week, we did a walk-out and I got above my knees.”

“With such a stiff onshore wind today, a lot of sediment and other matter was stirred up, reducing the clarity of the water so I’m happy we were able to at

least get an unscientific measurement of 9 inches for our first wade-in. The deeper the sun can penetrate to the bottom, the healthier our sea grasses and the better the habitat for crabs and fish. However, these weather conditions help today’s participants be more aware of just how shallow our bays are, however impacted they are by sediment erosion from the land, and why there is this constant struggle to preserve healthy water quality.”

Thursday was chosen as the day of the event because it was the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act. The event was also known as a Swimmable Action Day, a function of the Waterkeeper Alliance’s CWA 40 Campaign.

“The focus of the Swimmable Action Day is to encourage citizens to celebrate the right to clean, swimmable waters and to promote the importance of the Clean Water Act, established in 1972, in protecting our local waterways,” Phillips said in a press release.

Retired Maryland Sen. Bernie Fowler initiated the first wade-in 20 years ago to check water quality in Maryland’s bays and tributaries. Former Gov. Barbara Minner of Delaware had annual wadeins and would don a bathing suit for the events.

Despite the cloudy water during last week’s wade-in, Phillips said it would become an annual event.

Phillips and the Assateague Coastal Trust plan to add the coastal bays to the

swim guide smart phone app, which was launched last week in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and the Chesapeake region. The swim app already includes water quality information, descriptions and photographs of nearly 2,500 beaches across North America.

Plans call for the swim app to continue to expand until it includes beaches in every major beach community on the continent.

By using the app, people can find safe beaches and swimming areas. The free app is available at App Store, Google Play or www.theswimguide.org.

Provided and managed by member groups within the Waterkeeper Alliance, the swim guide helps the user locate the closest, cleanest beach, get directions, view photos and determine if the water is safe for swimming.

The swim guide uses water quality monitoring data from government authorities to determine the water quality at nearly 2,500 beaches in the United States and is updated as frequently as the water quality information is gathered.

“Paddlers, rafting and tubing enthusiasts and Jet Skiers are just as much, if not more, susceptible to bacteria because splashing water can be aspirated through the mouth, or transmitted into the body through the eyes, nose and ears,” Phillips said. “This is why are developing our own monitoring project to supplement the swimming beach monitoring by the county, as a public service.”

National Night Out event planned for Aug. 7 in OC NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Many neighbors will spend time with police next week in celebration of National Night Out. The Ocean City Police Department, in coordination with the National Association of Town Watch, will join citizens from 6-8 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 7, at Fiesta Park in Caine Woods and Gullway Villas on Lark Lane.

Neighborhood Watch groups in those two neighborhoods work with the police department to bring crime prevention awareness and community policing to the area. Those are just two of Ocean City’s eight Neighborhood Watch groups, which also frequently hold special events for National Night Out. “National Night Out has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable

program to promote neighborhood spirit and the partnership between the OCPD and the community,” Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said. “It is an event that only lasts a few hours, however, the benefits of the evening extend well beyond one day.” During each National Night Out event in the resort next week, the neighbors will be joined by a member of the Bike Patrol, a member of the Mounted Patrol and a member of the K-9 unit, said Public Affairs Specialist Jessica Waters.

Police officers on patrol that evening will also stop by to visit with the Neighborhood Watch members and others in attendance.

The police will meet and mingle with the citizens, as they have for the many previous celebrations of National Night Out in Ocean City.

National Night Out is held to heighten crime prevention awareness, to generate support and participation in local anti-

crime programs and to strengthen neighborhood spirit and the partnerships between police and citizens. The program was also developed to send a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime.

In many areas without special events, people turn on their outside lights during National Night Out as a sign that crime in not welcome in their neighborhoods.

Some also sit on their front porches to let criminals know their activity will be seen by watchful eyes.

The Ocean City Police Department wants citizens to be the eye and ears of the community by reporting crime or suspicious activity to the department.

For additional information about National Night Out, contact the Ocean City Police Department's Public Affairs Office at 410-723-6665.

Human remains found in Snow Hill under investigation NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation continues to work on the case of the body found in Snow Hill on Sunday.

A man found what he believed were human remains in a waterfilled ditch near the end of Woodland Court. Snow Hill police went to the site and discovered a human skull. Approximately 20 yards away, in the same ditch, was the rest of the body. WCBI investigators and a member of the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit went to the scene to gather evidence.

Tfc. Scott Zink also responded and organized a grid search of the woods near the area where the body was recovered.

Identification of the remains is pending an examination by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. Investigators did not speculate on whether the remains were Keith Gordon of Snow Hill.

Gordon, 60, lived not far from where the remains were discovered and he has not been seen since May 9. He reportedly had a history of disappearing for a week or more.

Thief pleads guilty, must make restitution to former friend, employer Records showed Berlin woman stole approx $51k, but amount could be more NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) The owner of an Ocean City day spa told a judge Tuesday that she felt betrayed by the former employee who stole from her.

“I trusted Julia implicitly,” Sandy James told Judge Thomas C. Groton III in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Tuesday.

James, owner of Creative Day Spa at 137th Street and Coastal Highway, had no qualms about letting Julia Nancy Henry, 35, of Berlin, handle cash and to be responsible for removing it from the cash box at the end of each day and starting the next day’s cash drawer.

Henry had worked for James since 2004 and the two were friends. James permitted her sons to spend the night at Henry’s house.

Unbeknownst to James, however, Henry started having problems with her marriage and her finances. She started taking money and “would steal on an almost daily basis,” Assistant State’s Attorney Diane Cuilhe said.

Some days, Henry would take $50; other days, she would take $400. And although she stole because of financial problems, her thefts were causing fi-

nancial problems for others. James started having difficulty making the payroll and had to cut the hours of some employees, causing financial difficulties for them. Then she had to lay off employees, causing additional financial hardships. She did not take any pay for herself for months at a time because what money she had was needed for her business.

“Julia was fully aware of the steps I had to take,” James said. It is unknown when the thefts started, but it could be verified that Henry stole Nov. 11, 2008, and continued until her employment was terminated March 30, 2012. James confronted Henry that day, in front of her staff, and Henry admitted the ongoing thefts.

Records showed that Henry stole at least $51,021.44, but James said it is possible that she stole more, much

more because tracking systems were not in place earlier.

“I believe what she stole could have well exceeded $100,000,” James told the court.

Henry pleaded guilty to stealing an amount between $10,000 and $100,000 and said she was sorry.

“I just want Sandy to know I’m truly sorry every minute of every hour of every day,” Henry said.

Henry, who now works as a waitress at a pizzeria, said she could make restitution at the rate of $100 per week.

Noting that Henry stole more than $50,000, Groton said it could take years at the rate of $100 per week to pay it back and she might have to pay more than that. “You’ll have to pay whatever Parole and Probation says you’ll have to pay,” Groton informed her.

He told Henry that she knew at the time of her thefts that it was causing financial problems for James and her business.

“People were laid off and hours were cut because of what you did,” Groton told Henry.

The judge also said Henry “did it over and over and over every day” and she did not stop until she was caught.

Groton then sentenced Henry to two years in prison, with all but six months suspended. After her release from jail, she will be on supervised probation for five years and she must pay court costs of $170. He gave her a suspended fine of $1,000. He also ordered her to make restitution of $51,021.44 and because of his concern that James be paid back that money, he authorized work release so Henry can work to repay her former employer and friend.

POLICE BRIEFS

Public’s assistance sought The Ocean City Police Department is asking for the public to help locate a man in relation to recent attempted sexual assaults in poorly-lit, semi-secluded areas near bars. The most recent was on July 28 during the early morning hours.

In each case, a woman was under the influence of alcohol, alone and walking to her destination when an unknown man initiated a conversation with her. Then the man forced the woman to the ground and tried to sexually assault her.

Police described the assailant as a white man, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing approximately 170 pounds and in his mid20s to early 30s.

The Ocean City Police Department asks anyone with information about similar incidents or the attacker to contact Dfc. Simpson of the department’s Criminal Investigation Division at 410-520-5349. Callers may remain anonymous.

Police also remind residents and visitors to use the buddy system instead of walking alone.

They said people should avoid excessive alcohol consumption, be aware of surroundings and to walk in highly traveled public areas.

Weapons found An 18-year-old Reisterstown man was charged July 27 with handgun violations after his pickup truck was stopped at 23rd Street because of an equipment problem.

When Nicholas Panagiotis Tsirigos got out of his truck, the policeman saw the handle of a gun under the driver’s seat near the center console. The policeman seized a sawed-off .22 cal-

iber rifle and arrested Tsirigos.

A search after the arrest revealed a loaded shotgun with a rifle barrel under the rear seat and a knife concealed in the console area next to the driver’s seat, according to the charging documents. Police also found marijuana and a plastic bottle modified into a pipe with marijuana residue.

Tsirigos was charged with having a handgun in his vehicle, having an unregistered rifle or shotgun, two counts of possession of a firearm by a minor, having handgun on his person, having a concealed dangerous weapon, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

Sexual predator caught A violent sexual predator who left Virginia was found driving a moped on Route 90 near Racetrack Road on July 28, Maryland State Police said in a press release.

Larry Wayne Gregory had been living and working in this area since he fled Fredericksburg, Va., in April. He eluded police by removing the ankle bracelet that worked as a tracking device.

Larry Gregory A state trooper pulled over Gregory’s moped and Gregory gave him several false names, according to the press release. Police then learned of his record as a sex offender and arrested him.

Virginia State Police stated Gregory was homeless and failed to register when he left the state in April. Authorities looked for him in various homeless shelters, but were unable to locate him and they put out a fugitive warrant for his arrest.

Gregory now faces additional charges for failing to register as a sex offender in Maryland.

Assault on officer A 23-year-old Berlin man was charged July 26 with second-degree assault, assault on a police officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The Berlin Police Department stated that Kenneth Foreman assaulted a man and woman at a Maple Avenue residence and ran when police arrived. After a chase, he was caught and taken to the police department, where he reportedly assaulted a police officer. He was also found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia and he used an alias during the arrest and booking process.

The officer who was assaulted was treated for minor injuries at Atlantic General Hospital.

Currency seized Maryland State Police seized $11,575 in cash after a traffic stop on Route 13 near the Virginia state line on July 25.

The cash was found in a duffle bag during a search of the van after the trooper detected the odor of marijuana. The money was seized because it was believed to be proceeds from criminal activity, according to the press release from Maryland State Police.

Neither the driver of the van nor his passenger was charged. Both men, who were from Brooklyn, N.Y., were released.

Officer assaulted An Ocean City policeman was knocked off his bicycle July 24 when a man turned his Jeep toward him and accelerated.

The policeman had stopped the Jeep, driven

Pennsylvania fugitive drives on Boardwalk during police chase NANCY POWELL â&#x2013; Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) After fleeing from police by driving on the Boardwalk, not once but twice, crashing into a median strip, driving north in a southbound lane, driving through a fence and jumping into the bay, a 22-year-old New Park, Pa., man was taken into custody July 28 and charged with numerous offenses.

J. Anderson The accused, Jimmy Carl Anderson, was driving a 2007 four-door Dodge Magnum that had been reported stolen during a burglary in York, Pa. The incident began when Ocean City police officers tried to pull over the car on Third Street A. Canterbury near the Boardwalk at about 6:30 a.m. Anderson then drove onto the Boardwalk and headed north.

Police in a marked patrol vehicle followed the Dodge on the Boardwalk and then Anderson drove off the boards at Surf Avenue. As he decreased his speed, his three passengers bailed out and ran. Police detained all three.

Police continued to follow the car, but lost sight of it as Anderson drove north on Baltimore Avenue. After the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s descrip-

Once back on Baltimore Avenue, Anderson lost control of the car and crashed into the median strip at 17th Street. With police in pursuit, he continued north in the southbound lane and turned west at 19th Street, where he drove across Philadelphia Avenue to Dolphin Street and then north on Marlin Drive, a dead-end road.

Public hearing scheduled Aug. 7 for Burbage property rezoning Eight-building medical complex eyed for former agricultural site near Pines NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) The Worcester County Commissioners will hold a public hearing Tuesday, Aug. 7, about a developer’s request to have his property rezoned.

Jack Burbage wants his 30 acres of land off Route 589 rezoned from agriculture to commercial. He said he wants to build a medical complex on the site and he has said he envisions eight buildings on the property.

The county Planning Commission in May issued a favorable recommendation for the zoning change, but the county

staff has been opposed to it because they do not want additional development along Route 589 until improvements are made to the road.

Burbage sought the endorsement of the Ocean Pines board of directors in the spring and told the board on March 20 that the medical complex could become part of Ocean Pines, which would mean revenue for the homeowners association. He also said the development could take care of its own water and wastewater needs and that access to the complex would be through King Richard Road in Ocean Pines and through developer Marvin Steen’s property. Steen, he said, had given him easements.

Some King Richard Road residents have been opposed to their short, narrow road being used for access to Burbage’s property and he was unsuccessful in getting support from the

Ocean Pines board of directors for his desired rezoning. The board decided to take no position.

When Burbage made his rezoning pitch to the county Planning Commission on April 5, his attorney, Hugh Cropper IV, did most of the talking and corrected some statements made by Burbage in March. No agreement was in place about King Richard Road and there were no easements, Cropper said.

He also said the property would not become part of Ocean Pines and there was no mention of it taking care of its own water and wastewater needs. Instead, Cropper said, the possibility existed for any development to connect to Ocean Pines wastewater treatment plant.

Michael Franklin, president and CEO of Atlantic General Hospital, has said that Burbage’s site is the preferred site for the hospital’s expansion.

There is no guarantee that the property would be used for medical purposes even if it is rezoned as commercial and the commissioners cannot make that a condition of any rezoning.

Property can only be rezoned if the existing zoning is considered a mistake or if there has been a change in the neighborhood. Cropper told the Planning Commission in April that the agricultural zoning is inappropriate and the land is not good for agriculture, even though it has been used for agriculture in the past and at least part of it is still used for agriculture. Harry Wimbrow’s red produce stand is on the site and many of the vegetables are grown there.

Cropper has also said the current agricultural zoning was a mistake and in 2009, the county Planning Commission recommended that it be zoned residential.

OCPD REPLACES LOSSES

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

This car is one of two recent casualties from the Ocean City Police Department’s fleet. During Tuesday’s council meeting, General Services Director Joe Sobczak recommended compensating for the losses by purchasing one new Chevy Tahoe police vehicle, as well as using the salvaged engine from one of the lost cars (not the one pictured) to increase the lifespan of another vehicle that was due for replacement soon. Most police vehicles last four to five years, Sobczak said, with between 25,000 and 30,000 miles being driven each year on average. According to OCPD spokesman Mike Levy, the department has been using more and more Tahoes, as opposed to the more traditional Ford Crown Victoria sedan. “There are certain advantages to an SUV with its configuration for carrying equipment, and its much more visible because of the sheer size and shape,” Levy said. “The Tahoe package we’re using also has about the same fuel efficiency as the Crown Victoria platform.

It’s been a gradual shift, but we’re not 100 percent on board with Tahoes quite yet.”

BOARD OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS Continued from Page 24 beer and wine license for the Harrison Avenue bed and breakfast.

As a bed and breakfast, the Waystead Inn was only permitted to serve breakfast to its guests. The Board of Zoning Appeals granted their request to have up to 30 guests for dinner parties, although Voorhees told the Board of License Commissioners that the dining room had space for only 20 people.

Voorhees also said she and Kaufman want to be able to have wine-pairing dinners and a membership club whose members would be notified of upcoming events. Kaufman, a chef, said he wanted to have four or five-course “high-end gourmet meals” of French food or continental food. They would also do luncheons.

The board also granted the pair’s request to have up to two pieces of entertainment 5-8 p.m. one night each month, but they may not have a DJ.

Naked Fish The board approved the request for a sevenday beer, wine and liquor license for Naked Fish, which will open at 13601 Coastal Highway in the building formerly occupied by Capt.

Adam’s and before that, Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Owner Mark Greene of Selbyville, Del., said he moved to the area two months ago and has been in the restaurant business for 35 years.

He said he plans to have upscale food in a casual setting. The menu will include fish, pizzas, paninis and nine upscale entrees.

The board also granted Greene’s request for

entertainment of up to three pieces five nights per week. There may be no games, no pool tables and no DJs.

Convention Center The board approved the request of Larry Noccolino, director of the Ocean City convention center, for an expansion of the licensed premises Sept. 13-16, Bike Week.

A vendor is renting the entire facility and needs a fenced-in area outside, City Solicitor Guy Ayres told the board. The drinking of alcoholic beverages will be confined to one outdoor area and retired law enforcement officers will provide security. Alcohol will be sold beneath a 60-foot by 75-foot tent.

The board stipulated that there could be no pudding wrestling, no Jell-O wresting and no burnout pits.

Baltimore Canyon

Norfolk Canyon

BERLIN LITTLE LEAGUE Beginning Monday, a line of boats will cruise through the inlet toward an open sea full of various fish species.

But where are they heading? And how do they know where all the fish are swimming?

Where an angler fishes has everything to do with what he hopes to catch. It could mean a full day at the Fingers, the Hambone, or any of the offshore canyons.

The ocean floor is covered with peaks and valleys, with certain kinds of fish drawn to different bottom contours. There are also underwater cliffs, which form a line of canyons that run from North Carolina to Maine.

Here’s a look at the area beyond the shoreline …

BALTIMORE CANYON: A finger-like canyon 56 miles from the Ocean City inlet, this area has been a hot bed for white marlin.

Poor Mans Canyon

Washington Canyon

AUGUST 3, 2012

WASHINGTON CANYON: 25 miles southwest of Poor Man's and 57 miles from Ocean City. The first-place white marlin was caught in this area for three years, 1996-1998.

POOR MAN'S CANYON: Closest canyon to OC, 53 miles from the inlet. Got its name because even “poor men” can afford to reach this area.

Final registration for 2012 fishing competition this weekend

(Aug. 3, 2012) Anticipation and excitement are building as boat captains, their crews and spectators await the start of the 2012 White Marlin Open. Competition will begin Monday and continue through Friday, Aug. 10.

Last week, Jim Motsko, director and founder of the tournament, said early registration compared to 2011, was about the same. Though most anglers wait until the final days to register so they

$5,000 to enter. Motsko said an overwhelming majority, more than 95 percent, of the teams sign up for at least one calcutta. The more calcuttas entered, the greater the possible return.

To enter every pool (16) this year for boats 37 feet LOA (length overall) and larger, costs $15,950, not including the base entry fee.

For boats 36 feet LOA, the cost is $17,950 to enter into all 18 added entry levels/calcuttas. There are two new calcuttas this year for boats 36 feet LOA and smaller: Level SBW: Small Boat

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

Heaviest White Marlin Winner Take All and Level SBT: Small Boat Heaviest Tuna Winner Take All. Both cost $1,000 to enter.

It takes a combination of luck and skill to catch a white marlin. First, captains and anglers have to know how to find them. From that point on, there is a fair amount of luck involved in whose bait draws the interest of a big fish. Anyone can get lucky and that is why the Open is so popular. Novice anglers have won the tournament.

Teams may fish anywhere

NORFOLK CANYON: Only three top fish have been caught in the Norfolk over the last few years, but in 1999, the Anticipation caught the first- and secondplace white marlin worth $713,100.

can keep and eye of the forecast, Motsko said more than 65 percent of the boats traditionally return to compete each year.

Final registration will take place at Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street on Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. and Sunday, beginning at noon.

The base entry fee is $1,200 per boat, which makes teams eligible for $50,000 in guaranteed prize money. There is no limit to the number of anglers on each boat.

There are 18 added entry divisions this year, which range in cost from $50 to

Junior League All-Stars fall in state semifinals (Aug. 3, 2012) The Berlin Junior League All-Star team’s season came to an end last week during the semifinal round of the double elimination state championship tournament.

District 8 was the host of the Junior League state competition, so Berlin competed on its own fields at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex, located off Route 113. The home team battled Conococheague (District 1) in the July 25 state semifinals, a team the Berlin boys had trounced 18-5 a few days earlier.

Berlin scored two runs in the top of the first, but Conococheague cut the lead to one in the bottom of the inning. The visiting team tacked on two runs in the second to pull ahead 3-2. Gus Esham drove in a run to even the match at 3-all in the top of the fifth inning, then Will Sass’ sacrifice fly gave Berlin the go-ahead run. In the bottom of the inning, Conococheague tied the game 4-4, and tacked on two runs in the bottom of the sixth to gain a 64 advantage.

Berlin cut the lead to one in the top of the seventh with a Sass RBI single. Pat Devenny’s single tied the game at a 6-6, but the home team was unable to gain an advantage.

Lady anglers compete this weekend in tourney LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) Female anglers will head offshore today (Friday) or Saturday as part of the Ocean City Marlin Club’s fourth annual “Heels and Reels” Ladies Tournament. Weigh-ins will take place both days, from 5-7:30 p.m., at Sunset Marina.

The competition was open to both Marlin Club members and non-members, with as many as six anglers permitted per boat. A portion of the $300 entry fee will be donated to the Marlin Club Auxiliary’s Bertha Holloway Schol-

arship Fund for Worcester County high school students who plan to attend college or a trade school.

Added entry levels/calcuttas, ranging in price from $200 to $500, were available and included billfish release and meatfish (tuna, but no bluefin and dolphin) divisions. A junior angler division was open to women 19 and younger.

“Hopefully, we’ll have a good tournament. Last I checked, the weather looked decent for the weekend,” Franky Pettolina said Tuesday. Pettolina is the Ocean City Marlin Club president and co-director of the tournament with Amanda Shick. “Tuna fishing was a little

slower this past weekend, but quite a few white marlin were caught. There were a couple boats with double digits.”

An awards banquet is set for Aug. 4.

Anglers who reel in the three heaviest tuna and dolphin will win prize money.

First, second and third place in the billfish release division will also be awarded prize money.

In 2011, approximately 140 ladies went out fishing on 23 boats and $30,240 was awarded to tournament winners.

Coach Forrest pleased with players performance BERLIN LITTLE LEAGUE Continued from Page 38

Conococheague capitalized with players in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh to edge out Berlin 7-6.

“I really wanted to take these guys past states to regionals. It was a wellplayed game on both sides. They were a much better team than what they showed us in the first game,” said Berlin Manager Mike Forrest. “We were hitting balls right at them, but that’s the breaks.

Some days they fall and some days they

don’t. I’m so proud of these kids. They kept battling and they didn’t give up.”

Conococheague met previously unbeaten Chesapeake City (District 5) in the championship game and won the state title match 9-4 to advance to the regional tournament.

The Berlin Junior League team went undefeated during District 8 competition, edging out Delmar 9-7, Fruitland 9-4 and West Salisbury 5-1. On July 15, Berlin scored an 11-10 come-from-behind victory over East Wicomico to win the District 8 title on its home field and

advance to the state tournament.

Berlin topped Conococheague 18-5 in its first state tournament competition.

Two days later, on July 24, Berlin was handed its first loss of the all-star season, falling to Chesapeake City, 17-8 to set up the semifinal match-up with Conococheague.

“It was a thrill to coach them this season,” Forrest said. “We’ve got nothing to hang our heads about. The kids played well all season long. Third in the state of Maryland is a great accomplishment and we’re still district champions.”

(Aug. 3, 2012) Three blue marlin were released and none were boated during the fourth annual Branch Kreppel Memorial Blue Marlin Tournament, presented July 27-29 by Sunset Marina. Anglers aboard the Wound Up released all three tournament blue marlin. The crew received $11,925.

To be eligible for prize money, a boated blue marlin had to weigh at least 400 pounds and measure no less than 105 inches. Blue marlin were worth one point per pound weighed.

Each blue marlin released earned teams 250 points. White marlin, sailfish and spearfish releases were worth 20 points each.

“We would have loved to see a blue marlin brought to the scale, but first place had 750 points in two days, which is good,” said Brian Tinkler, Sunset Marina general manager and tournament director.

Since there were no other blue marlin released or boated, second place went to The No Quarter team, who cut 14 white marlin loose. The group took home $5,265.

The Reel Joy crew released 10 white marlin, good for third place and $3,510.

Jerry Owens, fishing on Wave Paver, hooked an 83-pound yellowfin tuna on Sunday to win the division.

The tuna, the largest yellowfin caught in Ocean City this summer, was worth $6,750. The crew also released seven white marlin that day.

Anglers aboard 18 boats headed offshore last weekend during the tournament, held annually to honor the late Glen Robert “Branch” Kreppel, a commercial diver and owner of Diver Services Company, who died in 2008 at the age of 44.

A total of $27,450 was paid out to the winners this year. It is an increase from 2010, when 15 boats registered and $26,625 was awarded.

“I thought the tournament went very well. A lot of billfish were seen. I think nearly every boat released one billfish,” Tinkler said.

“We had three more boats than last year, and that’s good to see. We’ve gotten some suggestions and we will probably modify the tournament a bit next year to appeal to more people.”

Proceeds from the tournament and an Aug. 5 auction will be donated to Kreppel’s family.

This Sunday, silent, live and Chinese auctions will begin at 6:30 p.m. poolside near Sunset Marina. There is no cost to attend. A variety of auction items such as surfboards, custompainted Mopeds, Electra Beach Cruisers, jewelry, restaurant gift certificates and fishing gear, among others, will be up for grabs. Rain date is Aug. 6.

39th annual White Marlin Open

White marlin will have to weigh more than 80 pounds to place Continued from Page 38

within 100 nautical miles of the Ocean City inlet sea buoy, but certain areas hold favor. Most boats will head to the Poor Man’s, Baltimore, Norfolk and Washington canyons, where large fish and Open winners have been caught in the past.

“It depends on the offshore current and where the good water is,” Motsko said. “They’re going to go where all the conditions are right.”

Motsko said to win money in the white marlin division this year, fish will have to weigh more than 80 pounds.

The average size of white marlin over the last few years has increased, so the tournament minimum weight of 65 pounds was increased to 70 pounds last year. Marlin conservation is emphasized every year, as more than 90 percent of white and blue marlin are released.

To have a chance at prize money in the blue marlin division, Motsko said, fish will have to weigh at least 600 pounds.

The tournament minimum is 500 pounds and 105 inches.

Each boat is eligible to fish three of the five tournament days. Boats can leave from any inlet between Rudee Inlet, Va. and Barnegat, N.J. All boats will be searching for the same species: white and blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin and shark. While the white marlin division is the most coveted, there are also large payouts in the blue marlin and tuna categories. Cash prizes are also awarded for billfish releases.

Motsko said the estimated payout to the 2012 winners could be more than $2 million, depending on participation.

Weigh-ins will take place daily at Har-

bour Island from 4-9:15 p.m. and are open and free to the public.

The first White Marlin Open took place in 1974 with 57 boats registered and a guaranteed $20,000 in prize money.

Last year, approximately 2,000 anglers on 237 boats — 18 fewer vessels than in 2010 — headed offshore. Overall prize money paid out to the winners last year was approximately $2.13 million.

Before the scale opened at 4 p.m. on Aug. 12, the final day of the 2011 Open, the Wee Wun IV was docked for about an hour with a white marlin on board. The crew watched as Wilmington, Del. resident Paul Coen’s fish weigh in 88.5 pounds and took over first place.

“We know what a large marlin is, and it was a fat fish. As soon as we got it we had a good idea we had a winner,” Coen said after the 2011 event. “The whole

team was thrilled. We fish hard and we were fortunate enough to get the winning fish.”

It was Coen’s first time participating in the White Marlin Open. The Wee Wun IV team was awarded $289,063 for his fish.

The Tighten Up team finished in second place with Brian Kline’s (Laytonsville, Md.) 86.5-pounder, but the crew was awarded $758,828, because they entered the richest calcutta of the tournament, the Level E, Winner Take All. Because the prize for winning can be so great, 131 boats out of the 237 participating signed up for the Level E calcutta, which cost $5,000 to enter. Last year, the Level E pot itself totaled $615,000.

Coen said the reason Wee Wun IV didn’t participate in the added entry level calcutta was because a few of the team’s sponsors backed out.

The Sea Note took third place with John Schmitz’s (Westminster, Md.) 79.5pound white and the crew went home with $126,377.

During the 2011 competition, 794 white marlin were released, while 18 were boated (97.78 percent). Three sailfish and four spearfish were also released.

Anglers released 39 blue marlin and only one was boated (97.5 percent).

Aboard the Restless Lady, John Schindler of Severna Park fought a big blue for about 50 minutes.

“It went airborne a few times, but I wasn’t going to give up for anything,” he said on Aug. 11, 2011 at the scale. “It’s like a dream come true. It really is. It’s my first White Marlin Open and I was lucky to be invited. This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

Schindler’s first billfish weighed 699.5 pounds and was worth $379,677. The fish paled in comparison to the 1,010.5and 1,062-pound blues landed in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

“We only had one blue this year, but we were happy to have gotten that one,” Motsko said after the 2011 tournament.

The last time a big eye tuna, which is typically larger than yellowfin and bluefin tunas in this area, was weighed during the tournament was 2009. Last year, four big eyes were worth money. The tuna division also had a large payout in 2011, totaling nearly $396,000.

Chip Caruso of Colts Neck, N.J., earned first place with his 279-pound big eye, caught aboard the Pipe Dreamer.

His tuna is the fourth-largest in tournament history. The crew received $312,990 for the catch.

Dale Christensen’s (Hanover, Pa.) 241-pound big eye, landed on the Playmate, placed second. The team pocketed $58,342.

The Last Straw weighed a 225-pound big eye, good for third place in the division. Wayne Bowden of Whaleyville, who fought the fish for six hours, and his teammates won $2,000. Frank Criscola of Bedminster, N.J., and the crew aboard the Crisdel was awarded $22,137 for his 209-pound bigeye.

fish earned him $2,000. Donald Schline’s (Baltimore) 39.5-pound dolphin, reeled in on the Reel Estate, finished in second place and was worth $11,930. Kevin Stafford of Jupiter, Fla., took third place with his 39-pounder, hooked aboard the Alexis. The crew received $2,000.

Four teams — Some Kinda Good, Billfisher, Team Galati and Fugitive — earned $8,930 checks for anglers’ Paul Bowers’ (Solomons Island, Md.), Tim Gough’s (Edgewater, Md), Bob Hixson’s (Dallas) and Tim Hake’s (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) 36.5-, 35-, 34.5 and 28-pound dolphins, respectively.

The Reel Desire was atop the leaderboard in the wahoo division since Day 1 of the 2011 Open. The payout for William Bayne’s (Arlington, Va.) 71-pound fish was $26,325. Ocean City resident Brandi Zirckel’s 68-pounder reeled in aboard Restless Lady, held onto the secondplace spot. Prize money awarded for her wahoo was $3,000. Shawn Hann of Warfordburg, Pa., caught a 58-pound wahoo on the Marli. The fish brought in $24,325.

Matt Cusamano of Stone Harbor, N.J., caught the only shark of the 2011 Open aboard Canyon Lady. The 107.5-pound mako was worth $6,500.

(Aug. 3, 2012) The Dew Tour announced earlier this week the first round of confirmed athletes for the Pantech Beach Championships, set for Aug. 16-19, in Ocean City. The new Dew Tour — featuring three large-scale events — will debut with skateboard and BMX competitions, a surf event and multiple music performances. Top confirmed athletes include Baltimore native Bucky Lasek, skate vert dominator Pierre-Luc Gagnon and BMX legend Jamie Bestwick.

“I’m really looking forward to coming back to my hometown to compete in the Pantech Beach Championships,” said Lasek. “The Dew Tour’s concrete bowl is second to none, and with all the great events for fans and beach atmosphere, it’s sure to be a fun time for everyone.”

There will be no shortage of skateboarding’s big names in Ocean City for the Pantech Beach Championships. In addition to Lasek and Gagnon, the vert ramp will host Pedro Barros, Mitchie Brusco, Bob Burnquist, Sandro Dias, Tom Schaar and Elliott Sloan. During the Mega 2.0™ ramp, spectators will have a chance to see skate prodigy Schaar, the first person to land a 1080, as well as fellow young gun Brusco.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Flounder Magic Capt. Ken Roach, right, and mate Dan Brady prepare the boat, docked at Old Town Marina on Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City, for a fishing trip in the bay last Saturday.

GO FISHING ABOARD FLOUNDER MAGIC Capt. Ken Roach takes passengers out in bay for two-hour trips LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) Want to go fishing in the bay, but don’t have a boat? Well, step aboard the Flounder Magic and let Capt. Ken Roach lead the way to prime fishing areas in the bay.

Flounder Magic was previously the “Pony Island Express,” which Roach ran for several seasons. Ownership of the business changed hands last year and this year was put up for sale. Roach saw his opportunity and jumped at it.

“I love it. It’s just a lot of fun,” he said.

Roach, who is a licensed master captain, is leasing the business for his first summer season. “I’ve been fishing on boats all my life.”

The Flounder Magic’s first voyage this summer under Roach was the end of June.

The recently renovated, twin engine Coast

Guard Certified 42-foot vessel has the capacity to take 20 people on a fishing trip.

Through September, four two-hour trips are offered daily: 8 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. A 7 p.m. trip is available, depending on demand. The cost is $25 for adults and $15 for children 10 and younger (taxes included). A discount is offered on Fridays, when the cost for adults is $22 and $13 for children. Bait and tackle is included.

“They don’t need to bring anything with them except their luck,” he said.

Passengers are permitted to take coolers on board.

A $3-off adult and $2-off child admission coupon can be found in the Discover Downtown insert section inside Ocean City Today.

Roach will take passengers along the bay, where “the fish are biting.” Any fish

caught (of legal size) will be cleaned and bagged for anglers. Recently, people aboard have hooked flounder, bluefish, sea bass and croaker. They have also seen some sand sharks.

“We have a lot of families and groups of people who want to fish. It’s a lot of fun for a couple hours,” he said. “I always enjoy taking people out fishing. I like seeing little kids catch fish. They get so excited.”

Near Assateague, Roach said passengers will often see several wild ponies and ospreys.

To make reservations, call 410-2892565 or visit the Flounder Magic office on Dorchester Street, bayside, located two blocks south of the Route 50 bridge. There is free parking on site.

The Flounder Magic is also available for private charters and evening cruises.

Worcester Tourism earns Business Partner Award (Aug. 3, 2012) Worcester County Tourism was recently honored with the 2011 Business Partnership Award by the town of Berlin. The award recognizes outstanding business cooperation, volunteerism and financial assistance as well as in-kind services.

County tourism officials received this designation for their ongoing partnership in marketing and advertising Berlin and for assisting to sponsor and volunteer during special events in town.

“Berlin’s just a great town with a lot to offer visitors,” said Tourism Director Lisa Challenger. “We really love to help with advertising to make it more affordable for the small businesses.”

Challenger said Worcester County Tourism has been assisting with marketing, advertising and volunteering in the Ocean City and Delaware markets in an effort to help drive foot traffic during the summer season in particular. The events

require an investment of time and resources, but it’s all good, clean fun, she said.

“Probably the most challenging of volunteer duties is pushing the Main Street bath tub during the annual Bath Tub Races,” Challenger said. “That’s one volunteer position I would gladly give up.”

For more information about tourism in Worcester County, call 800-852-0335 or visit www.visitworcester.org.

There’s a program available in the state of Maryland to help low-income homeowners afford to stay in their homes. It’s called the Maryland Homeowners’ Property Tax Credit Program. It’s been in existence for more than 35 years, but is not well known.

When it was first established, the tax credit was limited to senior citizens, but a few years later the program’s eligibility was expanded to include all homeowners who meet the income guidelines. However, the majority of the recipients of the tax credit do tend to be 60 or older.

The tax credit is based upon the amount by which the property taxes exceed a percentage of your income according to the following formula: 0 percent of the first $8,000 of the combined household income; 4 percent of the next $4,000 of income; 6.5 percent of the next $4,000 of income; and 9 percent of all income above $16,000.

Example: If your combined household income is $16,000, your tax limit is $420. You would be entitled to receive a credit for any taxes above the $420. If your actual property tax bill was $990, you would receive a tax credit in the amount of $570, this being the difference between the actual tax bill and the tax limit.

To qualify, applicants must report total household income, which means the combined gross income before any deductions are taken. Income from all sources must be reported including nontaxable retirement benefits such as Social Security.

Additional requirements include the following: ■ Applicant must own or have a legal interest in the property ■ Property must be a principal residence and applicant must live there at least six months out of the year, including July 1, unless you recently See INCOME on Page 46

Dentist provides services in Appalachian Mts.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

Income from all sources must be reported to qualify

(Aug. 3, 2012) Dr. Edward Dougherty of Delmarva Sedation Dentistry recently returned from Wise, Va., in the Appalachian Mountains, where, together with approximately 1,000 other volunteers, he provided charitable dental services to almost 4,000 individuals over a three-day period.

This charitable service is made possible by his participation with the Remote Area Medical Organization.

Stan Brock founded the organization after he spent 15 years caring for natives in the Amazon. In 1985, he brought his charitable mission to the United States.

RAM missions provide free medical, dental and vision care to those who have either no insurance or those without enough insurance to cover the cost of services. It is a three-day event at the fairgrounds of Wise, Va., and it attracts thousands of individuals who have little or no access to health care.

The volunteers go to Wise from a variety of places including the Virginia medical and dental schools.

Dr. Dougherty served with the oral surgery unit and extracted more than 100 non-restorable teeth during his stay. He has made this a bi-annual event and plans to continue to serve.

The Homeowners’ Tax Credit is not automatically granted and it is a requirement to apply and disclose income on an annual basis. The deadline every year is Sept. 1, and the application is supplied by the Department of Assessments and Taxation (it is advantageous to apply by May 1 each year so that any credit due can be deducted before the initial July tax bill is issued).

An application is routinely sent to homeowners who were recipients of a tax credit in the previous year. But, new applicants can be obtained by visiting your local assessment office or by calling the Tax Credits Telephone Service at 1-800-944-7403.

ON THE HUNT: Participants in the White Marlin Open will be on the lookout for these species:

WHITE MARLIN: Markings: Bright royal blue back, silver sides, white underbelly, round medium electric blue dorsal fin with black spots Average size: 45-55 pounds

BLUE MARLIN: Markings: Steel blue back, silver sides, white belly, pointed purple blue dorsal fin with dark blue tail Average size: 250 to 400 pounds

Here fishy, fishy…

Monday marks the start of the 39th annual White Marlin Open and Day 1 of the weeklong fishing frenzy, known as one of the world’s largest billfish tournaments competition in which they would most like to participate.

The tournament is so popular that more than 65 percent of the boats return annually to compete, according to Jim Motsko, director and founder of the tournament.

Last year, approximately 2,000 anglers on 237 boats — 18 fewer vessels than in 2010 — headed offshore in search of white and blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, shark and dolphin. While the white marlin division is the most coveted, there are also large payouts in the blue marlin and tuna categories.

LISA CAPITELLI n Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) Monday, Aug. 6, is the first day of the 39th annual White Marlin Open, one of the largest billfish tournaments in the world. Fishing will continue through Friday, Aug. 10.

Each year, hundreds of anglers participate in the fishing event, which has been named as one of Marlin Magazine’s 10 best billfish tournaments.

The White Marlin Open has also been voted by readers of “In The Bite” magazine as the

ALSO INSIDE: n Where is the best place to watch the tournament? Page 70 n What’s a calcutta? Page 51

Overall prize money paid out to the winners last year was approximately $2.13 million.

Motsko said organizers are anticipating an increase in participation this year and an estimated payout of more than $2 million.

Compared to 2011, early registration was about the same as of last week, Motsko

said. Most anglers wait until the final days to register so they can keep an eye on the forecast.

“Everyone keeps telling me we should have more boats this year, but we don’t know what to expect. The last few years, we’ve gone backward [in participation],” he said.

“Our goal this year is to have one more boat than last year.

We hope participation will increase because fishing has been so good. We had a very early white marlin season and almost every day someone is catching a blue marlin. And See WEIGH-INS on Page 70

TUNA (BIGEYE, YELLOWFIN): Markings: Deep blue back with silver sides and belly, bright yellow fins Average size: Hard to determine. A yellowfin averages 50 pounds at age 2.5, and 100 pounds at age 4. Bigeye tuna can grow to be even larger

LIST OF CALCUTTAS:

Big money up for grabs in WMO added entry levels

n LEVELS A, B, C, D: HEAVIEST MARLIN The heaviest in each category (white and blue marlin) takes 30 percent of the pool, second heaviest receives 12 percent and the third heaviest, 8 percent.

If a second- or third-place qualifying white marlin is not caught, that money goes to the first-place white marlin. If the second- or third-place qualifying blue is not caught, that money goes to the first-place blue marlin. If no minimum weight white marlin is caught, that prize money goes to the blue marlin winners. If no minimum weight blue marlin is caught, the money goes to the white marlin winners.

If no qualifying white or blue marlin are landed, the prize money of each independent added entry level would go to the top three tuna: 50, 30 and 20 percent. Entry fees: Level A, $300; Level B, $700; Level C, $1,000; and Level D, $2,000.

Level E: Heaviest White Marlin Winner Take All is prime calcutta,Motskosays LISA CAPITELLI n Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) To take home the big bucks during the White Marlin Open, it is beneficial for anglers to invest money into various tournament pools called added entry skill levels or calcuttas.

Tournament founder Jim Motsko has described the calcuttas as separate tournaments made up of only the anglers who pay to take part in that specific added entry level. Each calcutta is a side tournament within the overall competition.

The $1,200 base entry fee for the Open makes teams eligible for a share of the $50,000 in guaranteed prize money.

There are 18 added entry divisions this year, which range in cost from $50 to $5,000 to enter.

Motsko said an overwhelming majority, more than 95 percent, of the teams sign up for at least one calcutta. The more calcuttas entered, the greater the possible return. Motsko said in the past, anglers have said that if they are going to participate in the Open, then might as well sign up for every added entry level calcutta.

For example, if a crew only pays the base entry fee, the guaranteed cash

award its members will receive if they catch the first-place white marlin is $18,000 total ($15,000, plus $1,500 each for captain’s and mate’s award). If the team enters all the marlin calcuttas, members have the potential to walk away with close to $1 million or more (depending on number of anglers aboard).

Crews have spent more money per boat each year in these pools, thus boost-

ing the total prize money paid, Motsko said. Last year, 237 boats participated in the Open, which had an overall payout of approximately $2.13 million. Although tournament participation was down by 18 boats last year compared to 2010, the total payout was close, Motsko said. An average of $9,000 was spent per boat in 2011.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relationships continue to thrive, but watch for any telltale signs of potential problems. Take needed action now to set things straight before they become troublesome later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your powers of persuasion, backed up, of course, by your considerable expertise, help you establish your case even to the most dubious decision-makers in your workplace.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might still be a bit reluctant to face up to some less-than-pleasant realities.

But the sooner you accept the facts, the sooner you can set about making some needed changes.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Expect to make adjustments, even when things seem locked up and ready to go. But cheer up: At least one change could lead to something you’ve been hoping for.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The success of a recent project should do a lot to boost your self-confidence. You might want to start now to check out ways to make that long-deferred bigger and bolder move.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up on the pressure you might be putting on the new person in your life.

It takes time for a budding relationship to blossom. Show more patience and understanding.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You have lots of inner strength in reserve. Use some of it to resist intimidation from those who might try to impose on your good nature for their own reasons.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The good news is that your on-thejob status is improving. The one cautionary note, however, involves a personal situation you might have been ignoring for too long.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Congratulations. Once again, your sharp Sagittarian “horse sense” helps you work through a complicated situation that would leave most people confused.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Plan on indulging yourself in some well-earned good times through much of the week. Then be prepared to face some thought-provoking issues by the 18th.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Positive factors continue to dominate following a recent change in both your professional and personal lives.

Expect to make contact with someone from your past.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Workplace stability allows you to continue making progress on your projects. But don’t ignore your personal life. Spend more quality time with those special folks.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have the gift for making people feel special. Maybe because you know how special you are.

Water awareness equals accident prevention ON GUARD

Don’t underestimate power of ocean, OCBP warns KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) August not only brings hot humid temperatures, but the ocean typically gets rougher as tropical storm activity is more prevalent in the Atlantic Basin pushing larger more frequent waves onto our beaches.

Rip currents, shore breaks and what some might refer to as “great body boarding waves” all can pose dangerous situations for swimmers.

People who are unaware of the ocean’s power and swiftly changing movements can suddenly find themselves in trouble without realizing it. Swimmers who overestimate their abilities while underestimating the power of the ocean and its waves and currents, may be in for an unpleasant life-altering experience. The crushing power of a ton of water in the form of a wave can cause serious or fatal bone and joint injuries.

The beach patrol recommends that you ask the surf rescue technician on duty about the current water conditions for the day. He or she will inform you of any potential haz-

The Ocean City Beach Patrol trains all surf rescue technicians in neck and back injury victim removal. Here, rookies are practicing (under the watchful eyes of veteran guards) their skills at Rookie Graduation in early July. The first guard on the scene is supporting the neck as he makes his way back to shore. Other guards arrive on the scene to assist in the victim removal and support of the back and neck. The victim will remain stabilized on the beach until paramedics arrive and a full assessment of the potential injury is completed.

and back injuries. Most people are aware that on land it is always best not to move a person who may have a back injury. However, in the ocean the movement of the waves makes leaving the victim in the surf, to possibly sustain more injuries, not an option. Putting victims on backboards while in the surf can actually cause more damage.

Beach patrol guards are taught how to effectively and carefully extract victims

While theaters, films continuously evolve, movie snacks stay the same FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Buttery popcorn always a favorite among viewers DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (Aug. 3, 2012) Movie theaters have come a long way since I was a child. Now one can enjoy adult beverages or sit back and have dinner served while enjoying the festivities.

If that does not strike your fancy, then how about the concept of 3D to new heights? Movement, scent, as well as wind and water make movie going one step closer to reality.

But some things through the decades still remain unchanged. Popcorn is still America’s favorite movie snack. But does one really comprehend what exactly he is crunching on? If you are counting calories, you might be surprised just how fattening movie popcorn really is.

Following is a quiz from the Weight Lost Wisdom Newsletter. Answers are provided at the end of the quiz. Some of the questions and answers have been shortened.

1. The average small movie popcorn with “buttery” topping contains about as many calories as: A. One milk chocolate candy bar B. A slice of thin-crust cheese pizza C. One slice of cheesecake

D. A quarter-pound cheeseburger 2. The average large movie popcorn with “buttery” toppings contains about as many calories as: A. A small thickcrust pepperoni pizza and a can of soda B. Two cups of spaghetti with meat sauce and a slice of garlic bread C. Two pieces of fried chicken, 1 cup of mash potatoes, and a 16 oz. soda 3. A large soda and large popcorn with “buttery” topping account for what percentage of a full day’s recommended allowance of calories, based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

A. 55 percent B. 65 percent C. 75 percent D. 85 percent 4. Movie theatres are included in the FDA’s proposal to require calorie labels on the menus.

A. True B. False 5. The average small movie soda has about how many small teaspoon of sugar?

A. 3 B. 7 C. 10 D. 14

6. Splitting an average small, unbuttered popcorn with a friend would give you about the same number of calories as: A. Half a cup of cottage cheese B. An 8-ounce container of flavored whole-milk yogurt C. 18 cashews D. A hard-boiled egg 7. To make movie popcorn a healthy snack, all you have to do is ask for unbuttered popcorn.

A. True B. False 8. The size of a medium tub of popcorn can vary as many as 10 cups, depending on the movie chain.

A. True B. False 9. The size of a medium soda can vary by how many ounces?

A. 8 ounces B. 10 ounces C. 12 ounces D. 14 ounces 10. Which of the following candies has the fewest calories?

A. Chocolate-covered caramels B. Chocolate-covered mints C. Chocolate-covered peanut pieces D. Chocolate-covered raisins Now that you have taken the test, let

us see how knowledgeable you are when it comes to movie-popcorn.

1. (D) The average small movie popcorn with “buttery” topping has about 600 calories, about the same as a quarter-pounder with cheese (550) calories.

2. (C) The average large movie popcorn with “buttery” topping has about 1,270 calories, which is equivalent to two large pieces of fried chicken, one cup of mashed potatoes and a 16-ounce soda.

3. (D) A large soda and a large movie popcorn with “buttery” topping has about 1,700 calories, which is about 85 percent of the daily allowance for a 2,000-calorie diet.

4. (B) The FDA does not require movie theatres to list calorie labels on their menus.

5. (D) An average small soda (23 ounces) has about 14 teaspoons of sugar and a little over 200 calories.

6. (B) If one is concerned about calories and decides to split a small, unbuttered popcorn, each person will get the same amount of calories as you would from an 8-ounce container of flavored whole-milk yogurt.

7. (B) Plain popcorn is a healthy snack, however, salt and oil can be a problem.

8. (A) One theater chains version of a medium tub of popcorn might contain 10 cups, while another’s might have up to 20 cups.

9. (C) One theater’s chain medium soda can be 32 ounces, while another’s

Popping popcorn,watching favorite movie at home easy on wallet FOOD FOR THOUGHT is 44 ounces.

10. (A) If one is counting calories and craving chocolate, a 3-ounce bag of chocolate caramels may be your best bet at 370 calories.

The test is over, scores are in, and I am confident some of the answers were quite surprising. Am I suggesting one skip popcorn entirely at the movie theater? No, but you have choices and be aware of them.

Popping popcorn and watching your favorite movie at home is fun and easy on your wallet. Again, one has choices so take advantage of it. Today, popcorn is taking on a whole new spectrum of flavors. Ordinary is taking a back burner to extraordinary. Spicy lime popcorn with Mexican undertones is a delicious twist from the traditional plain, buttered popcorn. Be creative and have fun, there are no right or wrong recipes. Just please your palette with exploding flavors.

Summertime stirs up memories that helped mold Kemp’s life SENIOR SLANT

In 1944, she met Skip, ‘the love of her life,’ in Virginia IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer

PHOTO COURTESY IRISH KEMP

A few members of the good-looking staff at Harpoon Hanna’s.

PHOTO COURTESY IRISH KEMP

Granddaughters with Jeannie Powell and Donna Greenwood at convention center.

(Aug. 3, 2012) Early to bed and early to rise ain’t all it’s cracked up be for these Irish eyes. No doubt it has something to with this old broad’s aged and somewhat warped psyche, but I’ve been waking up at the ungodly hour of 5 a.m. this summer. Trust me, folks, I urge members of WAMS (Women Against Mornings and Stoves) to bear with me and not to try this at home. If only I knew where the daylight saving hours are stored, I could have used them to play catch-up.

Dog walkers are the only folks I see out and about at that hour of the morning.

Which reminds me, dog days of summer ain’t what they used to be. Dogs vacationing with family have it made in the shade these days. What’s not to like? Lounging around in an air-conditioned, oceanfront condo, being pampered, petted, massaged and fed while sprawled in front of a theater-size TV screen, watching the Olympics.

This time of the year, I always find myself reminiscing the ice man. Every day

when the ice man jumped off his truck to deliver a block of ice, the neighborhood kids would hop on to see who could retrieve the biggest chip chipped off the sold block.

Not true of the junk man — we were scared to death of him. Our older siblings told us that he worked at night as the infamous boogie man. Would you believe that years later, the nice old gent opened up the first-ever indoor flea market and became a millionaire philanthropist?

Gandering, meandering, candling or just out gambling around town, I found Ceil and Bill Clark, the Pohlmans, Ceil Addicks, Joe and Jane Mulholland, Fran Nickels, Cork and Phyllis, the Ebels, Weavers and Ed and Gail Tribull and friends, Betty and Howard.

Summertime stirs up memorable times for me. Mid-summer of 1944, I met the love of my life, Skip, while on vacation at Virginia Beach. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” could be true. The Navy shipped him to the South Pacific for a year.

GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.

No matter which half of the Twin Capes you’re on, there’s always more to see and explore waiting on the other side. And there’s no better way to get there than the Cape May–Lewes Ferry. From the waterparks in Delaware, to Victorian architecture in Cape May, if you aren’t visiting both sides of the Twin Capes, you’re missing half the fun.

OCPHC event aims to teach children about crabs,environment The Ocean City Parrothead Club’s seventh annual Kid’s Crab Round-Up at Northside Park’s lagoon pier on 125th Street last year drew 153 children ages 12 and younger from 13 states.

This year’s gathering is set for Saturday, Aug. 4, 9 a.m. to noon.

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) Children ages 12 and younger are invited to try their hands at crabbing this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon during the Ocean City Parrothead Club’s eighth annual Kiddie Crab RoundUp. The free event will take place on the lagoon pier at Northside Park on 125th Street at 9 a.m. Registration will be at 8:30 a.m.

The purpose of the Aug. 4 event is to teach youth as well as adults about the Maryland blue crab, according to Bob Gilmore, chairman of the Round-Up. “[It’s] for children to have fun and learn about the blue crab and its environment,” Gilmore said.

It is an educational day with hands-on instruction. Each child will have a chance

Participants will have chance to catch, hold Maryland blue crabs to catch a crab within the lagoon. All participants will receive a prize.

Equipment, drop lines and bait will be provided at no charge to participants, who must be accompanied by an adult.

Gilmore and OCPHC volunteers will set up a “corral” to contain the Maryland blue crabs so children can hook them successfully. They will also assist children and their parents in catching the crustaceans. Once the children get a “bite,” they will have an opportunity to get an upclose view of the crab. The crabs will then be released back into the lagoon.

Children will be shown how to handle crabs, as well as the difference between the males and females, legal size requirements and what a female bearing eggs look like. Organizers will also discuss ways

to keep the bay clean so the species can remain healthy.

Gilmore said the activity not only educates children about Maryland blue crabs, but also helps children understand how to respect them, the environment they live in and the importance of keeping the waters clean.

More than 150 children from 13 states — as far away as Colorado and Minnesota — took part in the event last year. Many families participate annually, but every year there are quite a few newcomers.

“Some families return but we do get many new vacationers each year from all across the country,” Gilmore said.

(Aug. 3, 2012) The lawn of the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum on North Main Street will be loaded with peaches, peaches and more peaches on Saturday, Aug. 4, during the Berlin Peach Festival.

In recognition of Berlin’s past as a prominent peach grower and distributor, the fourth annual event will bring thousands to participate in numerous activities on the museum’s lawn.

“Every year seems to get bigger,” said Debbie Speier, member of the museum’s board of directors and an organizer of the event. “The first year, we didn’t know what to expect and we have been amazed at how many people come.”

An opening ceremony featuring a bagpipe introduction played by Joel Todd and a ribbon cutting by Matthew Holland and Trista Harner, Little Miss and Mister Berlin Peach 2011, will officially get the festival started at 11 a.m.

Popular activities such as a peach piebaking contest, a pie eating contest and performances by local musicians will take place on the museum lawn, where there will also be numerous vendors selling peaches, peach-inspired products and general gift items.

Local fiddler Frank Nanna and a band called 3 Sheeps are scheduled to perform on the museum’s side stage where the Concert on the Lawn series is held.

Demonstrations of specialized skills like basket weaving and wooden decoy carving will be performed by local artists.

For the children, some activities will include face pairing, walnut shell boat races, a performance from juggling expert Cascading Carlos and many others.

According to Speier, many children look forward to “shake their booties,” an activity in which they will be able to make and take home homemade ice cream.

As it is expected every year, the Taylor House Museum will purchase copious amounts of peaches from local growers and resell them at the festival.

This year’s peach suppliers are Bennett Orchards and T.S. Smith from Delaware and Garden of Eden from Salisbury. “[The peaches] are ripe and juicy, and everyone loves them,” said Susan Taylor, curator of the Taylor House Museum.

Peach vendors suggested scheduling the event this weekend so attendees could get the ripest peaches possible.

Museum tours will also be available at a suggested donation price of $2. Children will be allowed in for free. The museum, a restored 19th century house, offers an opportunity to experience what life was like when Berlin was in its infancy.

Last year, the festival operated while rain continuously poured down on the lower than usual amount of attendees, so organizers have set a rain date on the following day, Sunday, Aug. 5. The times will stay the same.

The annual festival is funded by state and county grants, along with aid from several local businesses. All activities on the lawn will end at 5 p.m. For information, visit www.taylorhousemuseum.org.

“There’s something for everyone,” Smith said.

Founded in 1901, the fair was a Worcester tradition until 1930, when it was discon-

tinued as a result of the Great Depression.

The modern version of the fair began in 1991 and has increased in popularity and participation each year. Between 2,500 and 3,000 visitors attend the fair annually.

from the surf who may have sustained an injury to the head, neck or back. Guards work as a team to carry a victim to safety while minimizing movement to the head, neck and back.

The beach patrol has collaborated with medical professionals to modify a technique of removing victims with suspected neck or back injuries out of deep and or shallow water. The technique has been refined over many years of training and usage from its introduction as a technique developed in Hawaii. The modified technique is unique to the Ocean City Beach Patrol, but has developed with input from the medical community and emergency providers. It has been approved by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services as a state standard with the OCBP as the only organization that is certified to teach other first responders and organizations in this victim removal technique.

The most common culprit of neck injuries results from swimmers that are body surfing or body boarding incorrectly or in unsafe conditions. To make sure you don’t experience our extraction technique first hand, make sure you use the proper technique for riding waves. The safest method is to get in front of the wave so it is pushing you out in front and finish your ride before running out of water. Body boarding on the top of a breaking wave may cause you to be propelled to the

ocean floor. To prevent this, stay on the rear half of the board and if you need to bailout, go off the back of the board. The proper way to body surf a wave is to have your hands out in front of your body; this allows for more control of movement in the water. The most dangerous condition exists when we are experiencing shore break. Shore break occurs when waves continue to build and crash with full force on the shore with little or no water depth.

When unsuspecting victims find themselves on a breaking wave and they are being thrown into shallow water they have set themselves up for a tragedy.

Never ride a wave during shore break conditions or play in the impact zone.

Although education and prevention are the primary focus of the beach patrol mission, SRTs are well trained and prepared to handle severe neck and back injuries (although we prefer preventing injuries before they occur). Being aware of the dangers that could occur in the ocean is the first step to prevention. Diving or doing flips in shallow water as well as riding waves that are breaking on the beach could lead to serious injuries or death.

Never underestimate the power of the ocean, keep yourself and your loved ones safe by always checking with the SRT on duty about daily surf conditions at your beach. SRTs are more than happy to answer any questions that beach goers may have.

39th annual White Marlin Open

Weigh-ins will take place daily at Harbour Island on 14th St. Continued from Page 49

tuna fishing has been consistent.”

Weigh-ins for the Open will take place each of the five fishing days, from 4-9:15 p.m., at Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street. Between 4,000 and 5,000 spectators of all ages — from small children to experienced anglers and mates — converge on the marina, hoping to catch a glimpse of the day’s catches.

Spectators find the experience exciting because most of them have never seen such big fish before, Motsko said.

Visitors should arrive early to get a

good view of the action at the scale.

There is no cost to watch the weigh-ins and it is open to the public.

Food, beverages, jewelry and official White Marlin Open apparel will be sold during the weigh-ins at Harbour Island.

For those who cannot make it to 14th Street, live streaming video from the scale will be streamed online at www.whitemarlinopen.com again this year. Daily activity and updates will also be posted.

For more information, visit to www.whitemarlinopen.com or call 410-289-9229.

AUGUST 3, 2012

OC inlet great place to watch boats go out LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 3, 2012) Spectators are expected to arrive by the thousands to Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street for the daily weigh-ins of the 39th annual White Marlin Open, set for Aug. 6-10.

The crowd of spectators converging for the weigh-ins, held 4-9:15 p.m. daily, has grown immensely since the tournament’s inception, according to Jim Motsko, founder of the White Marlin Open, as several thousand visitors pack into the area surrounding the bayside marina’s docks to get a front-row view of the fish as they are brought to the scale.

Motsko describes the atmosphere at Harbour Island as fun and festive. He suggests spectators arrive early to get a clear view of the action at the scale. Some people show up hours before to stake their place in front of the scale, while the rest of the diehard fish enthusiasts are there by 4 p.m., when the weigh-ins begin. “[The weigh-ins] can be very exciting, especially if people have never seen big fish. You go out to dinner and you eat mahi, or tuna or mako and people don’t know what the whole fish actually looks,” Motsko said. “It’s also exciting to watch the expressions on the faces of the people on the boats when they weigh their fish.”

If the weather is ideal, Motsko expects a large number of boats to go out fishing on Day 1. On opening day of the 2011 tournament, 144 of the 237 participating boats headed offshore.

There is no cost to attend the weigh-ins, but visitors are reminded parking is prohibited at Harbour Island. Parking is available on side streets or for a small donation, in the Presbyterian Church lot on 14th Street. There will also be an express shuttle service offered from the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street to the corner of 14th Street and Jacqueline Avenue. Express service will operate from 3-11 p.m. daily during the event. Parking is free at the convention center. Spectators may take the Ocean City bus to the scale as well.

Both the shuttle and bus cost $3 for a rideall-day pass, or $1 per boarding.

Motsko estimates that between 4,000 and 5,000 people come and go from the Harbour Island dock area each day to watch the weigh-ins, but the excitement begins even before anglers put their lines in the water.

Hundreds of spectators wake up early, especially on Day 1, to catch the fleet of boats leaving each morning from the Ocean City inlet. Watching the boats depart for the fishing spots has become increasingly popular, as people line up along the jetty bright and early just to catch a glimpse. Boats may leave as early as 4 a.m. this year.

“Every year, there’re more and more people down there. It has become a neat little event,” Motsko said. “Some people tell me it’s become like an ‘inlet party.’”

Another spot to see the vessels head out for the day is downtown at Sunset Park on South Division Street or the bayside boardwalk near Third Street.

39th annual White Marlin Open

‘Big money’ available to anglers whoenter calcuttas,Motskosays Continued from Page 51

To enter every pool (16) this year for boats 37 feet (length overall) and larger, costs $15,950, not including the base entry fee. For boats 36 feet LOA (length overall and under), the cost is $17,950 for boats to enter into all 18 added entry levels/calcuttas.

There are two new calcuttas this year for boats 36 feet LOA and smaller: Level SBW: Small Boat Heaviest White Marlin Winner Take All and Level SBT: Small Boat Heaviest Tuna Winner Take All. “We’ve had people over the years who’ve said they don’t feel they can compete with the big boats. We feel that a lot of small boats will be happy with [the new calcuttas],” Motsko said. “We hope to get a few more smaller boats sign up for the tournament this year because of he new calcuttas.”

Both the Level SBW and SBT calcuttas cost $1,000 each to enter.

In 2011, 64 boats out of the 237 registered for the Open signed up for all 16 calcuttas. In 2010, 54 boats out of the 255 that competed went across the board.

The richest calcutta is the Level E, Winner Take All, which rewards the angler who catches the first-place white marlin with hundreds of thousands of dollars or possibly close to $1 million (depending on number of participants).

Because the prize for winning can be so great, 131 boats (55 percent) signed up for the Level E last year. The Level E pot itself totaled $615,000 in 2011. The cost to enter the calcutta is $5,000.

While some teams choose to go across the board and enter all the added entry level calcuttas, Motsko said it is not necessary to win big.

“You don’t have to get in all the calcuttas. If you want the chance to win big money, I tell people the best value is Level E. That’s where you can win the most money,” he said. “You’ve got a nice chunk of money there.”

Motsko said if teams also don’t want to risk thousands on the top levels, there are plenty of other calcuttas to join, including ones for tuna, dolphin, wahoo and shark.

Eight percent of the boats (190) participated in the Level M: Daily Meat Fish (heaviest dolphin and wahoo) calcutta last year.

There are also three tuna divisions — Levels T1 and T2, which pay out 65, 25 and 10 percent to the anglers who reel in the three heaviest tunas, and Level T3 Winner Takes All. A total of 173, 149 and 110, signed up for the tuna calcuttas, respectively, in 2011. The money paid out in the three calcuttas was $81,000 (T1), $140,000 (T2) and $155,000 (T3).

AUGUST 3, 2012

Annual Blessing of the Combines set for Saturday in Snow Hill (Aug. 3, 2012) Combines are a familiar sight on the Eastern Shore, moving purposefully and efficiently through fields of grain, corn and soy beans, offloading their harvest into waiting trucks.

But seeing a combine from afar is very different from being close enough to touch one.

The 14th annual Blessing of the Combines will take place Saturday, Aug. 4, in Snow Hill. In preparation for the annual event, local farmers Byron Hauck, Bill Figgs, Roger Richardson, Buster Powell, David Shockley, Virgil Shockley, George Lee Clayville, Jack Shockley and Lee

Holloway have been shining up their combines for the Parade of Combines.

At 11 a.m. Saturday, Steve Hales will introduce the keynote speaker, Delegate Mike McDermott.

Hundreds of folks gather for this annual celebration of agriculture, strolling Green Street’s booths, visiting Bank Street’s craft and food vendors, learning from Scales and Tales, checking out antique tractors and garden tractors, and taking a hay ride or a carriage ride.

Young people look forward to pony rides, the Children’s Tractor Pull, and games at the Children’s Barnyard on Pearl Street.

AIR CONDITIONING

Adults await the Pie Eating Contest.

All tap a toe to the music of The Country Grass, Rachel Allman, the Waters Family and Danny Jackson. They head toward the Pocomoke River to admire Wheels that Heal car show and “The Journey,” a pontoon cruise boat.

They are drawn to the sounds and scents of the Petting Barnyard’s horses, donkeys, sheep, alpaca, rabbits and chickens. They enjoy the hospitality of downtown eateries, shops, galleries and businesses These same folks stand silently as the Snow Hill High School Marine Corps ROTC color guard presents the Ameri-

BLINDS & SHADES

can flag, Rachel Allman sings the national anthem, and the Rev. Tina Whaley delivers a brief homily and then blesses the combines.

Collectible T-Shirts, designed this year by area artist Beth McGrath Cooper, will be available at Snow Hill Flower and Gift Shop in downtown Snow Hill on Washington Street.

Event hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Parade of Combines will kick off at 11:15 a.m. and will be on Green Street by 11:30 a.m.

For details contact Becky Payne at 443-783-1715, or e-mail kfisher44@verizon.net.
