PHIL JACOBS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

BYE BYE BEACH Janet and Nicholas Pietrefesa of Glen Gardner, N.J. pack it up for the day on the beach Tuesday. The couple comes to Ocean City traditionally the week leading into Labor Day.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Smokers, prepare to be corralled…somewhere. City Council voted four-to-three this week to institute a restricted smoking policy on the beach and Boardwalk, which would prohibit lighting up anywhere outside of yetto-be-determined smoking areas. The policy would take effect May 2015. But council left a number of major logistical issues – namely, where the smoking areas would be located – up in the air this week with the anticipation of a detailed layout from city staff to arrive for the next council work session in two weeks. Interestingly, the three members of council who cast dissenting votes – Brent Ashley, Mary Knight, and Margaret Pillas – did so because they thought the measure did not go far enough. Both Knight and Pillas argued that smoking should simply be banned on the Boardwalk, since creating desigSee BOARDWALK Page 6

More tram advertising expected next year McDonald’s placed highest bid, aggressive response; many businesses solicited

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) If you’ve taken notice of the Boardwalk’s new “McTram,” there may be more, and hopefully different, tram advertising coming next season. Last week, the city began piloting the idea of advertising on the Boardwalk trams by installing backlit signs atop the rear car of the single vehicle.

Although Direct Media, the contractor who markets advertising on city-owned vehicles, apparently solicited a number of business contacts for opportunity, the most aggressive response and highest bid came in from McDonald’s. “This was meant to be an example, just to see who would be interested,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “Hopefully next year, once everyone has seen the panels, some local Boardwalk businesses will pick up the spots.” Direct Media current holds a contract through the 2018 season for sales and service of all city transit advertising, most of which consists of

the laminated wraps found on city buses. The agency receives a 15 percent commission on all sales, and keeps 35 percent of the profits. The other 65 percent of net proceeds from ad sales go to the town. Closed-door contract negotiations with Direct Media last year apparently resulted in the city expanding the contract to include backlit panels atop all eight Boardwalk trams, although only one was sold in time for the signs to be produced for the current season. The idea to begin selling ad space on trams came up in the spring of 2013, when the city received an un-

solicited proposal from MGH Advertising, which happens to be the city’s advertising agent as well as that of McCormick & Co., the owners of Old Bay. MGH had offered Direct Media $24,000 per season to put Old Bay advertising wraps, similar to those found on the buses, on the tram tow cars. Council, however, decided that the offered price was too low and negotiated with Direct Media to put any tram advertising contracts out to open bid. McDonald’s’ offering price was not known as of press time.

Off-duty lifeguards get to scene within two minutes; at least 20 respond to call By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) An 18-year-old man from Manassas, Va., drowned in the ocean near the inlet after lifeguards had gone off duty Tuesday. It was the third drowning in Ocean City this summer. Although they were off-duty, lifeguards were on the scene within two minutes, Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said Wednesday. Lt. Ward Kovacs was driving an SUV down the beach and reminding people not to go in the water because of the bad conditions. Ocean restrictions had gone into effect at 2:30 p.m. and people were restricted to being in the water no deeper than knee level. When communications called the Beach Patrol shortly after 6 p.m. to ask if anyone was still available, Kovacs was at 11th Street. He drove quickly to the inlet as did Sgt. Tim Uebel who was on the beach driving an ATV. Because many lifeguards live in the far south end of town, several were able to respond to help. A few minutes later, a rescue swimmer from the Ocean City Fire Department arrived on the scene to help. At least 20 people went to search for the man in the ocean.

“A witness said the man was out in the ocean and struggling to get to shore when he was overtaken by a wave,” Arbin said. “They never saw him surface again.” After the witness gave the Beach Patrol personnel the “last seen point,” they started doing the search patterns and then a second team of rescue personnel started search patterns. After 13 minutes, they found Maudiel Hernandez, the missing man. They took

‘It’s an indication of little or poor swimming ability.’ Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin him to waiting paramedics, who immediately started advanced life-saving techniques before taking him to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was declared deceased. It is uncommon to have a wave break over a person who is not seen again, Arbin said. “It’s an indication of little or poor swimming ability,” he said. Arbin said he did not know the height of the waves Tuesday, but said they were higher than usual because of tropical weather action and there were strong rip currents. Ocean restrictions remained in place Wednesday, with people again

restricted to being in water no deeper than knee level, although surfing was permitted. The ocean restrictions are in effect until further notice. Because many lifeguards have returned to school or other jobs, the Beach Patrol is now down to about 60 percent of its peak season staffing when it has 92 manned stands plus a mobile patrol. Beachgoers are again reminded not to go into the ocean unless a lifeguard is on duty and, if weather conditions permit, to only enter the ocean near a lifeguard so they can more easily be seen. They are also advised to check with the lifeguard about the current ocean conditions. Lifeguards are on duty from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through Sept. 21. Lifeguard stands will be removed from the beach Sept. 22. “Our most heartfelt sympathies go out to the family, friends and loved ones of the victim,” wrote Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters in a press release issued Wednesday. “On behalf of the entire Town of Ocean City, our thoughts and prayers are with them during this very difficult time.” A 17-year-old boy from the Baltimore area drowned in the ocean near 92nd Street on June 13 and an 18year-old from Burtonsville drowned in the ocean near 137th Street on June 2.

beach and Boardwalk. “My intention was to ban it and not complicate everything with signage and smoking zones,” Ashley said. “Government has a tendency to do this. We go little by little, step by step. Just do it, uncomplicated, and fix the problem.” But the prevailing opinion was that designated smoking areas – which would feature signage as well as disposal cans for cigarette butts – were feasible and necessary. “You need to have some place for [smokers] to go,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “If they’re comfortable with that, they’re going to self-regulate themselves and it won’t be nearly as complicated as you think.” For the most part, council seemed to find that creating designated smoking and non-smoking areas on

the beach would be do-able – an opinion buoyed by Rehoboth Beach Commissioner Stan Mills, the architect of Rehoboth’s similar policy that went into effect this past summer, who advised the council at Tuesday’s session. “Ours is not a total ban. We have designated smoking areas,” Mills said. “We also articulate certain rules. They have to be a specific distance from the dune crossing, and within a certain radius around the sign and butt can.” So far in the 2014 summer, Rehoboth Beach Police have recorded 300 verbal warnings for smoking, but only three $25 citations for recalcitrant offenders. “We don’t’ have any heavy-handed police force out there slapping people with tickets,” Mills said. “If people see something, they say something.

empowers the public to be able to go up to somebody and say ‘we have a new ordinance, please don’t smoke.’” “I don’t think we’re going to have to have a whole lot of police intervention,” said Councilman Doug Cymek. For years, however, Ocean City has placed voluntary-use butt cans on the beach, with signs that ask smokers to stay within 50 feet of the receptacles. These are rarely used, lending little evidence to the idea that they will be after their use becomes law rather than suggestion. However, most of council’s discussion centered around the Boardwalk, and the fact that there really is no ideal place on the boards to put smoking areas. If such areas were not provided, and smoking was banned on the Boardwalk entirely, most smokers would simply take a few steps off into the street-end to have a smoke. But this caused concern that every street end would become congested for those trying to get onto the boards. “It’s going to be like a bar, where you have to walk through a cloud of smoke and cigarette litter to get in,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “If you ban it, it’s just going to drive it to the street ends.” This is of particular concern at junctions where the street has not been raised to slope up to the level of the Boardwalk, and where wooden ramps leading form the sidewalks are the only access. “I don’t want to create an atmosphere of people standing on the ramps and smoking,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. “You would have to ban it a certain amount down each side street.” “I don’t know that there’s a straightforward answer at this point in time,” Mitrecic said. “Do people have to go all the way out to Baltimore Avenue to smoke if we don’t want them clogging the Boardwalk?” According to Mills, Rehoboth has received complaints from businesses just off the street ends about the concentration of smokers. “We’ve found that there is an increase of cigarette litter at the ends of the street,” Mills said. “The good news is that it’s a concentrated group and easy to clean up.” There is also the opposite concern for those Boardwalk bars and restaurants who do not have outdoor seating that allows smoking, and are not located near a street end where patrons can step out to smoke. However, these are relatively few and far between, and establishment’s such as Guido’s Burritos and the Purpose Moose are located where the Boardwalk has an adjacent concrete tram lane that would provide extra room for smoking areas. Dare suggested that the concrete “bumpouts” along the tram lane be used as smoking zones, as the eastern edge of the Boardwalk is typically less congested than the west. “It would be relatively convenient,

County schools receive $1 mill. disabilities grant

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Officials from the Maryland State Department of Education traveled here Tuesday for a surprise announcement, awarding Worcester County Public Schools a $1 million grant to help increase academic achievement for students with disabilities. State officials made the announcement at Pocomoke High School, where MSDE representatives were providing professional development for Worcester County’s special education personnel. This school system is the sole recipient of the 2014 Bridges for Systems Change grant, for which seven school systems applied. “The goal is to eliminate the existing gap between students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers,” said Rae Record, Worcester County’s Supervisor of Special Education. Worcester’s team of a dozen grant writers met multiple times each week for about a month to draft the grant, said Jennifer Dale, Coordinator of Instruction for Special Education at Worcester schools. Different team members — parents, special education teachers, general education teachers and administrators — tackled different pieces, from re-

Special Education and Early Intervention Services, presented the award Tuesday and said the grant was “phenomenally well-written.” But more than that, “they used their data to drive the work,” she said. Paul Dunford, chief of the MSDE’s Division of Programmatic Support and Technical Assistance, agreed the grant was “thoroughly researched.”

Accepting New Patients

Worcester County will form its leadership team to work on the $1 million project within the week, Dale said. “We are immensely proud that a committee of educators sought this grant,” Worcester County Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson said. “Their commitment and hard-work will greatly benefit the children of Worcester County.”

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) A Snow Hill High School graduate is taking on big responsibility aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Raecheal Eichhorn is the engineer responsible for working on the ship’s nuclear reactors during its refueling complex overhaul, a four-year process modernizing the ship for the next 50 years. Eichhorn received a Navy Marine Corps Achievement Medal for her outstanding performance during the RCOH. “We’re getting new, updated systems and we have to learn all of it. My job is to learn it first and teach it to them,� she said, referring to her team of 35 sailors. The Lincoln is on blocks in a Newport News, Va., shipyard where it will remain until the RCOH is complete in October 2016. The ship moved to Norfolk, Va., in August 2012 to begin preparations for the overhaul before moving to its new port in March 2013. “A carrier RCOH is one of the most challenging engineering and industrial tasks undertaken by the U.S. Navy,� said Mass Communication Specialist First Class David McKee in a release. Not only are the ship’s reactors refueled, but the entire vessel is also modernized, including its combat systems and other war-fighting capabilities, distribution systems for potable water and electrical power. Eichhorn laid the foundations for her involvement in the project when she joined the Navy six years ago, immediately after graduating from Snow Hill High School. “I was going to school and I wanted to get away from the Eastern Shore a little bit to see other things. I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t want to pay for college,� she said. “I thought with the Navy I’d have a steady, regular job.� After completing boot camp, she had an additional two years of training to learn the theory behind how a nuclear plant operates.

Raecheal Eichhorn

“Then you get to the ship and you pretty much get to relearn all of it,� said Eichhorn, explaining that training equipment differs from the equipment used in the field. “The theory behind everything is the same, but actual operations is a little bit different,� she said. Before landing in Newport News, Eichhorn worked aboard the Lincoln based out of Everett, Wash., taking constant trips to and from the port. In 2012, “instead of going back to Washington like most ships do, we did what they call a world tour and landed in Virginia,� after an eightmonth voyage, she said. “I’ve gotten to see things that I otherwise would not have seen and it’s put me in a good position,� said Eichhorn, who bought a house last year and will begin taking college courses partly funded by the Navy next year. She said she’s “undecided� whether she’ll eventually move back to the Eastern Shore, where her family still lives. Eichhorn received her achievement medal for completing complex research and preparation for the RCOH that required her to develop a timeline and train a department of approximately 300 people. She said earning the award “was definitely an honor.�

Alcohol licensees fined for selling to minors Sales have ceased for 60 days at West Ocean City, Boardwalk businesses By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Alcohol sales have ceased for 60 days at the 19th Hole Bar & Grille and Marlin Market in West Ocean City and at the Six 12 Beer & Wine business on the Boardwalk at 12th Street because of egregious sales of alcohol to minors. The Worcester County Board of License Commissioners levied the suspensions and fines during the Aug. 20 meeting in Snow Hill. William Cook, owner of 19th Hole, did not deny the sale to an underage cadet with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, but said it was due to com-

passion and a lack of good judgment on his part. The clerk who made the June 16 sale was the same clerk who sold alcohol to a minor at Cook’s business last year. After that first mistake, Cook terminated the man’s employment. The man, a senior citizen and former employee of the Worcester County Liquor Control Board, had difficulty finding employment, so Cook, who felt sorry for him, rehired him as a dishwasher in March. Later, he allowed the man to work as a cashier at the Marlin Market. On June 16, the man sold alcohol to a minor without asking for any identification. The sale took place before noon. The man, Cook told the board, sought to not care about his actions and Cook fired him immediately, for

the second time. Cook apologized to the board and said he had “done everything humanly possible” to prevent alcohol sales to minors, but “sometimes human nature gets in the way.” He allowed his compassion, he said, to get in the way of good judgment. Worcester County Deputy Jen Hall said there was nothing else Cook could have purchased, such as ID card readers, to help employees, but she also said the business was a “hot spot” for her. She was with the cadet in June, last year when the same clerk sold to a minor, and she was also involved in checking the business when two violations were made in 2012. She was not involved when a sale was made to a minor in 2007. Charles Nichols, acting chairman of the Board of License Commissioners,

during the absence of Chairman William E. Esham Jr., said the sales to minors were “very concerning,” especially because four of them had occurred under Cook’s ownership. The three-member board levied a 60-day alcohol license suspension, effective at 6 p.m. that day, and a $4,000 fine. Six 12 Beer & Wine did not fare quite as badly. Owner Leo Cipollone’s alcohol license was suspended 60 days, but he was fined $1,500, substantially less than Cook. Cipollone, however, was told by Nichols that “having a liquor license is serious business in this county. It’s certainly not your right to have a liquor license.” Nichols also told him to get his act together. Cipollone said the clerk, an international student he paid $7.25 per hour, quit June 16, the same day the sale to a minor occurred, but did not tell him about it. He found out later that the clerk told the cadet to put the alcohol in her purse before leaving so he clearly knew he was selling to a minor. Cipollone said he told his three employees to check dates on drivers’ licenses and told them to check the photo to see that it matched the person using it. Other than that, he did not give much training, but he said, “Sometimes I send minors in” to see if the clerks checked their IDs.

El Galeon Andalucia will be extending its stay in Ocean City for a week and will remain open for tours through Friday, Sept. 5. The Spanish merchant vessel, has been docked between Third and Fourth Street on the bay since Aug. 1.

Tall ship extends stay in resort (Aug. 29, 2014) El Galeon Andalucia will be extending its stay in Ocean City for a week and will remain open for tours through Friday, Sept. 5, officials with the National Air, Sea & Space Foundation announced this week. El Galeon, a replica of a 16th century Spanish merchant vessel, has been docked between Third and Fourth Street on the bay since Aug. 1 and thousands of visitors have come on board to tour the five decks and meet her crew from Spain. Public tours are held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. “The crew has enjoyed their time in Ocean City and the warm welcome they have received from all the locals,” said Bryan Lilley, head of the National Air, Sea & Space Foundation, the non-profit organization that is sponsoring a tour of the East

Coast. “We extend an invitation to all the locals who haven’t had a chance to come aboard yet and this extra time in Ocean City is the best chance to tour the ship.” The extra week will also allows additional school groups to tour the ship. The Foundation sponsors field trips to tour El Galeon for free. Groups from Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester County schools have toured the ship. For more information, contact Cathy Bassett at 443-735-9577. Discounted advanced tickets are available online at www.TallShipEvent.com. The ship tour will stop in more than half a dozen ports of call including Baltimore, Annapolis, Morehead City, N.C., Savannah, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., Port Canaveral, Fla., and Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Students riding ups, downs of resort’s housing market Substandard conditions sometimes part of foreign workers’ experience here

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Filthy sink just adds to the inventory of mold and broken plumbing some students face.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Peeling paint. Rusty fixtures. Black mold that looks like it’s been tattooed into the surfaces. Very few people come to Ocean City expecting the Taj Mahal – especially foreign students looking for work. But even fewer expect to find conditions this substandard. Shankar lives in the apartment with nine other young Nepalese men. Two bedrooms house four people each. Two bunk-beds in each room

leave only a small aisle to enter and exit. The third bedroom houses a single bunk and a couch. Combined with the tiny kitchen and bathroom, the unit probably doesn’t cap 600 square feet. “When you come later in the season and you don’t’ have a place, you have to take what you can get,” Shankar said. “We thought [the landlord] would fix it up, but he hasn’t. Every week it’s ‘next week.’” The overcrowding, and some of the mess, isn’t entirely the landlord’s fault. Three of the Nepalese students originally secured the unit and signed the lease. More then moved in, lowering the individual cost for everyone. The landlord still collects rent perperson, per week, but seems to turn a blind eye to the increased number of tenants as long as the total is still right. “The clutter isn’t his problem, either,” Shankar says. “We work 16 hours a day, we come home, party, and crash. We don’t wash our dishes.” But Shankar didn’t create the abundance of code violations in the unit. The hot water heater, for whatever reason, sits inside the bathroom, with exposed wires nearly touching the toilet. The pipes leading from the shower drain leak, pouring water onto the heads of the African students in the apartment below. Shankar and his roommates are sure to go downstairs and knock before bathing. The unit is located downtown, on Seventh Street. The location has had major issues before, including one detailed in this newspaper two years ago in which six Irish students were crammed into a single room. Although the city is looking into the matter, Shankar and his friends left last week. But the point, rather, is that foreign student-workers are still finding themselves on the wrong end of the ups and downs in the city’s housing market. And while the situation has improved incrementally over the years, there is still much to be done. “It’s supply and demand,” said long-time realtor and downtown property owner Mark Hall. “There’s a slim supply, and that supply is decreasing while demand is rising.” Like many students, the plight of Shankar and his friends only came to light after his employer – a wellknown local restaurant that wished to remain anonymous – spoke up. “I feel like I’ve been duped since I found out how bad it was,” said Shankar’s manager. “These guys work their butts off for me all summer. I pay them really well, but now I find to come out that half of what I give them goes to rent this rat-hole. It’s just not fair.” Making the issue more difficult, however, is the fact that Shankar and his friends aren’t technically supSee FEW Page 16

Few students come here expecting luxury Continued from Page 14 posed to be here. As foreign nationals going to school in the United States, Shankar and his friends are here on F-1 visas. This allows them to attend school at an American university, and work a parttime job arranged by their college. They are not allowed, however, to find work on their own without the supervision of their sponsoring university. But due to a lack of oversight form their schools, many are free to roam in the summer. Shankar and his friends all go to large state universities in the Midwest. Their employer had no idea what their visa status was, or that it was even a legal issue. “We’ve had employers come to us with questions in the past, since a lot of them don’t know about the F-1 re-

strictions,” said Madeline How of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce’s Seasonal Workforce Committee. “If the student listed their school on their job application, I would call the university and ask if they knew that the student was in Maryland applying for jobs. They usually had no idea.” The majority of the resort’s foreign summer workers - 4,518 last year, according to the State Department – are here on a J-1 visa, which allows student attending school in their home countries to work and travel in the US for a single summer. Critically, most of these students have to have lodging and employment pre-arranged through a travel sponsor agency. These agencies, which have come under increasingly strict

State Department oversight in recent years, often charge students a fee of several thousand dollars. “Before, it used to be a student coming here to work and take money home,” said long-time downtown landlord Wayne Hartman. “Now, it’s the one that can afford the expense of the program, and they’re more interested in the American experience and cultural aspect of it.” At this point, Hartman said, most of his units are pre-booked by J-1 sponsor agencies. “I don’t know the names and the faces, but I know in advance how many are coming and who’s sending them,” Hartman said. F-1 students, on the other hand, are coming in completely under-theradar. While their numbers are impossible to quantify perfectly, those

involved with student affairs believe the number to be around 1,000. “A few years ago, when we used to greet every bus that came in, I counted a little over 900,” How said. “You could tell who was a J-1 and who was an F-1 that had already been in the states awhile.” Further, F-1 students typically arrive in the resort with Social Security proxy numbers already in-hand from their university. These are for tax purposes, and untraceable for immigration purposes unless one is looking for it. “Some of the businesses just go ahead and hire them un-knowingly because they already have Social Security cards,” How said. The Department of Homeland Security is apparently cracking down on F-1 students, having rounded up eight last week in an operation against illegal henna tattoo stands on the Boardwalk. It was suspected, although not yet confirmed, that a single backer was hiring F-1 students to pose as street artists, and keeping a portion of the students’ tips. The Ocean City Police Department is still investigating the matter. The upside of all this, however, is the presence of F-1 students may very well be an inadvertent side effect of improvements both in Ocean City’s JSee ARRIVING Page 18

Continued from Page 16 1 program, and in the resort economy as a whole. The State Department’s re-emphasis on sponsor responsibility, and increased awareness from City Hall and the business community, has made the resort’s J-1 program into a model for the State Department. “It’s actually gotten much better,� How said. “The city Buildings Department has gotten a lot better about working with us, and the landlords know they’re there and not going away.� Earlier this summer, the city re-established its Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe Housing Committee (PRESS) – largely in an attempt to crack down on unruly weekly vacation rentals, but also to address workforce housing as well. “This is exactly the sort of thing PRESS is intended to combat,� said city Communications Manager and committee member Jessica Waters. PRESS consists of enforcers form the city’s building, zoning, police, and fire marshal’s offices. “The goal is to gather and share information so we can tackle problem properties on a number of fronts,� Waters said. “I was glad to see that return,� Hartman said. “I think the city was right on track with bringing that back.� But as accommodations improve for J-1 students, it stands to reason that F-1 students would begin to backfill the substandard housing they left behind. “We’ve come a long way,� How said. “But as long as someone is hiring [F-1 students], there’s going to be a market or it.� Further, summer workers of all types – even American students – have felt the crunch from the slow but

steady economic upturn that has happened since the 2008 recession. “I think some of this is because tourism is actually rebounding,� Hartman said. “People have always used student housing as a sort of ‘last resort’ for their property.� “When the economy is good, some of the owners say ‘I’m not going to lease to kids because the risk is too high when I can get families in for the same price,’� How said. Hartman is somewhat unique amongst downtown property owners in that workforce housing is his primary concentration – despite the fact that it is less lucrative and more of a time investment compared to other real estate uses. His properties fill up quickly with both J-1 students and year-round workers, mostly Hispanic immigrants. “The thing with me is that I have the ability to renovate the properties myself,� Hartman said. “It wouldn’t work out if you couldn’t buy them cheap and do the work yourself. Right now, I’m putting more money back into them than I’m getting out. In ten years, will it be good? Yeah. But it’s a big commitment.� “You’re just not going to meet your return on investment if you buy a property and build student housing,� Hall said. In years past, he noted, most property investors could anticipate getting up to $1,500 per student, per summer. But that norm seems to have dropped in recent years. Shankar’s group was paying $12,000 for their unit for the summer, or $1,200 per person. “The kids that are coming now don’t seem to want to pay what used to be the going rate,� Hall said. “The higher-end units are out there and available, but it’s all about if they’ll pay that rate or not.�

Students face slim supply of affordable rental units But with F-1 students – such as Shankar’s group – apparently back-filing the substandard jobs and housing vacated by improvements in the J-1 program, further improvement of the city’s housing stock may be difficult. Regardless of whether they are F-1 or J-1, many students are reluctant to come forward with housing issues. “A lot of these kids come from places where city officials and police officers are not your friends,” How said. “They don’t’ call and complain because they’re afraid they’re going to get in trouble.” However, the Chamber of Commerce has done extensive work in getting the word out to students – via orientation sessions and introductory events that have become almost universal for J-1 participants – that local officials are here to help. “We always tell them to get the chamber involved, because the businesses are the ones benefitting from this,” How said. “If the kids are having a problem, we’ll call the city for them.” Additionally, the proliferation of short-term leases in the resort – for all visitors, not just student workers – often creates a grey area in regards to rental laws. Under Maryland law, eviction is technically a 30-day process, unless

one falls under the somewhat amorphous definition of short-term lodging. While this is cut-and dry when it comes to hotels and weekly rentals, it is less so with seasonal leases unless the lease clearly creates a weekly atwill agreement. “Sometimes, it depends on which police officer shows up and their interpretation of the lease,” Hartman said. “It’s not that they’re doing anything wrong. They’re working with what they’re given” “But if we could come up with some kind of universal verbiage, it might be part of the solution. If I’m not confident that I’m going to be able to resolve tenant issues quickly, I’m going to be less eager to make improvements.” In the long run, if redevelopment continues to pick up, some envision most student housing move off-island. “It seems to me that West Ocean City would be our logical employee housing area,” Hall said. “The issue is reliable transportation past the Park and Ride. If that were to happen, I think it would give a boost to real estate in that area…and these students could have access to affordable housing.”

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) One of the two men charged in the homicide of a 37-year-old Pennsylvania man early Sunday morning was released on his own recognizance Wednesday after a District Court commissioner found a lack of probable cause for the charges against him. Caleb Edwin Earl Ochse, 27, of West Ocean City, was being held on $400,000 bail in the Worcester County Jail following a bail review Wednesday in District Court in Snow Hill, but Christopher Blake Kendall, 22, was released. Kendall’s charging document gave his address as Wilmington, Del., but he has lived in Ocean City. An unidentified witness told police during their investigation that two suspects had been on top of the victim and punched him three to five times while he was on the ground motionless. The victim, Justin Daniel Cancelliere, 37, of North Whitehall Township, had gone to the new Fat Daddy’s sub shop at 216 South Baltimore Avenue with his cousin and two friends. Inside, Kendall and Ochse were reportedly being disorderly and left after buying chicken wings. They walked north on Baltimore Avenue and Cancelliere left the sub shop right afterward. His cousin and friends also left. Words were exchanged between Cancelliere and Kendall and Ochse and then

a scuffle broke out. Cancelliere’s cousin told police he broke up the fight and “then he observed the victim on the ground. The victim had injuries to his face and head. The victim was unconscious and bleeding,” according to the charging documents. The two suspects ran toward the Boardwalk and Cancelliere’s cousin and friends put him in a taxi, which took the victim and one of his friends to the Plim Plaza Hotel at Second Street. There, 911 was called. When police arrived at about 3:15 a.m., they saw Cancelliere, who had injuries to his face and head. He had a bloody nose, his forehead was bruised on the left side and he was unresponsive. Ocean City paramedics arrived and started emergency lifesaving procedures on Cancelliere, before taking him to Atlantic General Hospital, where he died. He was pronounced dead at 6:50 a.m. During the investigation, police found blood on the street at Talbot Street and Baltimore Avenue. They also saw a broken Styrofoam container and uneaten chicken wings on the street. They also determined that one of the disorderly men at the sub shop was identified as Ochse, who was known to some police officers because of his criminal record. On Sunday at about 9:50 a.m., two detectives with the Ocean City Police DeSee ONE Page 22

JUDY FROMAN

Continued from Page 20 partment went to Ochse’s West Ocean City residence and told him they were investigating a fight that had occurred outside the sub shop. Ochse reportedly refused to answer questions and said he did not want to talk about it. A detective then called the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office for assistance and Ochse was detained, but not arrested. Kendall, who was inside the residence, also refused to answer questions. While talking to him, a detective saw what appeared to be dried blood on his right hand, according to the charging document. The detectives then secured Ochse’s residence so a search warrant could be obtained. Neither Ochse nor Kendall denied being involved in the fight, according to the charging document. While executing the search warrant later, a detective found several items that appeared to have blood on them, according to the charging documents. On Monday, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore conducted an autopsy on Cancelliere and ruled that the cause of death was head and neck trauma and the manner of his death was a homicide. On Tuesday, police arrested Ochse at the West Ocean City restaurant where he worked and Kendall turned himself in

later. Both Kendall and Ochse were charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, affray and reckless endangerment. Although Kendall was released on his own recognizance, he is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in District Court in Ocean City on Sept. 25, the same day as Ochse. According to www.wfmz.com, Cancelliere was married and the father of two young children. He reportedly came to Ocean City to take his mind off his grandmother’s recent death. He worked at Clear Channel Airports, headquartered in Allentown, and he and his wife were high school sweethearts. Their youngest child started kindergarten Wednesday. An online fund was set up to help his family. His classmates started the fund, at www.gofundme.com/djtjqg, for his wife and two young children.

Hogan brings gubernatorial campaign to Ocean City

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan, center, stumps with Worcester County Commissioners President Bud Church, left, Maryland Senator Stephen Hershey, Hogan’s wife, Yumi, running mate, Boyd Rutherford, District 38C Delegate candidate, Mary Beth Carozza and Maryland Senator, Joe Getty on the Boardwalk in Ocean City on Friday, Aug. 15.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Larry Hogan’s gubernatorial campaign hit the Ocean City Boardwalk to talk about gaming regulations on Friday, Aug. 15. Hogan stumped on North Division Street with running mate Boyd Rutherford, his wife Yumi, Maryland senators Joe Getty and Stephen Hershey, District 38C Delegate candidate Mary Beth Carozza and Worcester County Commissioners President Bud Church. The candidate was in town for the Maryland Association of Counties Convention, held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. “We wanted to come down here to the Boardwalk, specifically this morning, to try to bring attention to

Expires 9/4/14 • OCT

a problem that we’ve been focused on for a long time,” he said. “We’re talking about the problems that small businesses are having across the state of Maryland, but particularly here in Ocean City.” Founder of Hogan Companies, a commercial real estate brokerage firm, and former Cabinet Secretary for Gov. Bob Ehrlich, Hogan owns a condo at Belmont Towers in the inlet. Touting his membership in the Ocean City Downtown Association, Hogan said he knew how Boardwalk businesses worked. “This administration has been openly hostile to small business people and it’s one of the reasons why I’m running for governor,” he said. “We’ve been talking about overregulation, over-taxation and the antibusiness attitude. All of that is going to change in 81 days when I’m elected governor.” Hogan singled out new regulations from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission that could charge arcades licensing fees for their games starting next summer. “I’ve played in every one of these arcades as a kid,” Hogan said. “People come down – their kids are playing there – they played there when they were kids. Some of these businesses have been here 50 or 60 years (and) they’re talking about closing their doors because of overregulation by the state of Maryland. We just can’t take it anymore. The people of Maryland simply can’t afford another four years of O’Malley/Brown tax and spend politics as usual. “They’re trying to say that ski ball machines and claw machines and pinball machines are the same thing as slot machines,” Hogan continued. “They’re trying to regulate the fun games on the Boardwalk as if they are somehow related to gambling and the gaming industry. It’s absolutely absurd. When I’m elected governor I’m putting a halt to these ridiculous regulations. We’re going to review everything. We’re going to sit down with the arcade owners and the business owners on the Boardwalk and come up with a solution to this problem.” Hogan claimed the state has lost more than 8,000 small businesses and unemployment nearly doubled during the last eight years due to O’Malley policies. “Here in Worcester County we’ve got some of the highest unemployment in the entire state,” he said. “We can’t keep heading in the same direction. We’re here to bring attention to the problems that you as small business people are having, and I want to talk to each and every one of you. I want you to know that these regulations on the new gaming rules – they’re not supposed to take effect until next June. I’m going to be sworn in next January – they’re not going to happen in June.”

POLICE/COURTS

Cuffs for pleasure A citizen called police Aug. 23 after seeing a man with handcuffs in a downtown convenience store. The man, the caller said, did not seem to be a police officer. A store employee told police that the man, later identified as Timothy Lee Wadsworth, 30, of Baltimore, said he portrayed himself as a law enforcement officer and displayed the handcuffs, which he had in his waistband. When a police officer walked to a vehicle in the parking lot to talk to the man, who was in the driver’s seat, he smelled the odor of marijuana. The officer told Wadsworth and his passenger, Jesse Steven Meyers, 22, of Baltimore, to exit the vehicle.

During the frisks, the officer found one folding razor knife in Wadsworth’s waistband and two folding razor knives in Meyers’ waistband, according to the charging documents. One partially burnt hand-rolled marijuana cigarette was found after a K-9 alerted to the presence of marijuana in the vehicle. Wadsworth reportedly said he did not smoke the marijuana because he is on probation. Meyers reportedly said he brought just one gram of marijuana to Ocean City and it was all gone. When the officer asked Wadsworth why had handcuffs, Wadsworth reportedly said they were for pleasure and he makes pornographic movies. Wadsworth was charged with posses-

Alleged burglary

A 30-year-old Pennsylvania man was charged Aug. 25 with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault after an incident at a 48th Street nightspot. When police arrived, members of the nightspot’s security staff had Anthony R. Sundo of Clifton Heights on the ground. He was reportedly screaming and resisting their efforts to hold him there. Earlier, a police officer had seen Sundo push a staff member with both hands in the chest. As the staff person took him to the ground, Sundo clawed the man’s face with his right hand, according to the charging document. The staff member, whose lip was bleeding, bit Sundo’s hand because he did not have a free hand to defend himself. Sundo was taken to the hospital to be treated for the bite to his hand.

A 52-year-old man was charged Aug. 20 with fourth-degree burglary and trespassing because he allegedly broke into a closet outside a 127th Street condominium. Some condo occupants called police to report seeing an older man with a beard sleeping in a stairwell. The area is posted with no trespassing signs. A police officer went there and knocked on the door of a supply closet next to the elevator shaft and ordered the man to exit the closet. The man opened the door and walked out. He told police he popped the door with a knife, which the officer found in the man’s right pants pocket. The man, George Thomas Hangliter Jr, reportedly said he had nowhere to live.

Disorderly guest A guest at a Fifth Street hotel was charged Aug. 20 with malicious destruction of property and disorderly intoxication after allegedly damaging a cabinet door in the kitchen area. The man, Collins Allen Spannuth, 30, of Temple Hills, Pa., kicked a hole in the

Missing man’s body found near Pocomoke bypass

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) The search for a missing 81-year-old Pocomoke area man ended Tuesday morning with the discovery of his body in a wooded area near the Pocomoke bypass and Cedar Hall Road. A search team located the body of George Orell George Orell about 50 yards into the woods, approximately eight-tenths of a mile from his residence. There were no signs of foul play, according to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation. Orell, who was considered endangered because he suffered from dementia, was reported missing Aug. 18 by the man whose house he shared for the past 12 years. That man, Joseph Waters, told deputies with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office that Orell left the Cedar Hall Road home, outside Pocomoke, at approximately 7 a.m. Aug. 17. He last saw him walking toward the mailbox. Waters also said Orell had been diagnosed with dementia and often hallucinated. The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office put out an “all points bulletin” to surrounding law enforcement agencies and the public was asked to contact police if they saw him. Searches utilizing K-9 dogs and “man trackers,” specially trained law enforcement personnel who have the ability to follow and track lost persons and/or criminal suspects using highly specialized techniques in tracking people, over the next several days in the woods and fields near the residence failed to find the missing man. On Friday, Aug. 22, another search was organized and the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist. Local hospitals were checked, but Orell was not located and a check of his bank account revealed no recent activity. On Monday, the Sheriff’s Office determined the county Bureau of Investigation would take over the investigation of the missing man. At about 7 a.m. Tuesday, an organized line and grid search started and a command post was set up outside Pocomoke High School. Numerous search managers and members of search teams from the Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Pocomoke Police Department and volunteer search and rescue conducted a ground search in the area where Orell went missing. After the discovery of the body, a Maryland State Police crime scene technician was contacted to respond out of protocol.

Kimberly Purvis

(Aug. 29, 2014) Twenty-one year Worcester County Public School veteran Kimberly Purvis will be serving as the interim principal of Snow Hill High School, effective Aug. 20.

superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. “Building and supporting strong leadership skills in our administrative staff help make sudden transitions as seamless as possible,” said superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson. “Ms. Purvis has a wealth of experience and she will lead Snow Hill High School forward to another highly successful school year.” Purvis has a long-standing relationship with Snow Hill High School and is very familiar with school renovations. In addition to serving as Snow Hill High School’s assistant principal for the last two years, she was a school counselor at SHHS for five years (1999-2004). From 2004 to 2012, Purvis served as an Extended School administrator and later as assistant principal at Pocomoke High School, serving as an administrator while PHS was being renovated. “Providing world-class opportunities for students while a school is under construction can be daunting, but I’m very familiar and comfortable with the process,” she said. “During

renovations, the key to success is being creative and flexible about the spaces where high-quality learning takes place. Success is about working together to ensure a superior education for all students, so they are ready for college, career, or the military when they graduate.” With the resignation, the interview process for the Snow Hill High School principal position did not have an opportunity to be conducted. “With school starting in a weekand-a-half, we wanted to have highquality leadership in place from Day 1, so we opted for an interim position,” said Chief Operating Officer Louis Taylor.” The process for filling the SHHS assistant principal position is underway. Currently writing her dissertation, Purvis is entering the final phase of the Educational Leadership doctorate program at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). She anticipates finishing the program in May 2015. Purvis lives in Salisbury with her husband and two daughters.

Nearly 35 million expected to travel for holiday vacation Most will hit road this Labor Day for final trip as summer gives way to fall (Aug. 29, 2014) AAA Travel projects 34.7 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Labor Day holiday weekend, the highest volume for the holiday since 2008 and a 1.3 percent increase over 2013. Nearly 86 percent of travelers (29.7 million) will celebrate the holiday with a final road trip before summer comes to a close and children head back to school. The Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, Aug. 28 to Monday, Sept. 1. Highlights from 2014 Labor Day Travel Forecast include: •Historically, when Labor Day weekend begins in August, Americans have shown a higher tendency to travel. •Consumer spending has surpassed income growth, indicating that Americans are willing to take on debt to finance a vacation. •Automobile travel will increase by 1.4 percent this year, with 29.7 million travelers hitting the road. •Nearly 8 percent of travelers (2.65 million) will travel by air, a one

percent increase from last year. •Travelers will encounter airfares just 2 percent higher than last year and daily car rental costs that remain consistent at $51. • Hotel rates at AAA Two Diamond hotels are 9 percent higher than last year and Three Diamond hotels are 6 percent more. “Despite stagnant income growth and a modest economic recovery, consumers continue to remain enthusiastic about traveling and are willing to pull out their credit cards to pay for the last holiday weekend trip of the summer,” said Ragina Cooper-Averella, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. Consumer spending continues to rise: In the third quarter of this year spending is expected to increase 3.8 percent year-over-year, while disposable personal income is only expected to increase 1.4 percent. Reliance on credit cards, rather than increasing income, is fueling holiday travel spending this year. While economic growth is slow, consumers are feeling more comfortable taking on debt.

Millions expected to travel at least 50 miles from home the lowest gas prices for early August since 2010. AAA expects gas prices to have little impact on the number of people traveling for Labor Day, though lower prices could help make travel more affordable. Barring a major development, such as a Gulf Coast hurricane, prices are likely to remain relatively low leading into the holiday weekend compared to recent years, which will allow travelers to allocate more of their budgets toward other travel expenses. As of Aug. 20, the national average price of gas was $3.44 compared to $3.59 on Labor Day last year. According to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase 6 percent from one year ago with travelers spending an average of $171 per night compared to $161 last year. The average hotel rate for AAA Two Diamond hotels has risen 9 percent with an average cost of $125 per night. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $51, the same as last year. Airfares have risen 2 percent with the average round-trip, discounted fare for the top 40 U.S. routes costing $219, up from $214 last year.

Owners of new business working to be neighborly Neighbors of Bad Monkey Restaurant not appeased

NANCY POWELL/OCEAN CITY TODAY

The Bad Monkey at 58th Street specializes in subs downstairs and burgers upstairs in an open air seating area. It also offers breakfast.

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) The owners of the new Bad Monkey Restaurant at 58th Street are trying to be neighborly, but some condominium neighbors are not appeased. Co-owners Kevin Myers and John Fager installed a system, designed by a sound engineer, to prove that the sound would be encompassed within the premises and would not be heard by occupants of the nearby 30-unit Oasis condominium, located to the rear of the restaurant. During an informal test of the system, a few people were invited to be at the restaurant and outside to see if the sound, even with the volume turned up to its maximum level, could be heard outside the building. It could not. No sound was audible to people standing on the sidewalk or standing in the Oasis parking lot about 20 feet from the Bad Monkey, formerly known as the Yellow Submarine. Myers, who is also manager at Fager’s Island, told the board that the new restaurant has been well-received by the public, but ambient, background music would add to the enjoyment of its patrons. Tom Edwards, an Oasis unit owner, said sound from the Bad Monkey was minimal, but he did not want amplified music on the second floor. Michael Helfrich, who said he represented the unit owners of the Oasis condominium, said piped-in music was not the issue. “Piped-in music can result in crowd noise being louder,” Helfrich said. “Crowd noise is what we’re concerned about. We want to encourage more restaurant use of the property.” Although it has 14 seats at a bar on the second floor, the Bad Monkey, which opened in late July, is a restaurant. “The notion that we are trying to build a bar is nonsensical,” said attorney Joe Moore on behalf of Myers and Fager. The building, which has a burger bar upstairs and a sub shop downstairs, was built in a way to address the concerns of the Oasis unit owners. “We’ve done everything we possibly can,” Moore told the board. “We’re trying to be good neighbors.” After listening to the Bad Monkey’s request and objections from the two condo unit owners for more than two hours, board member Charles Nichols, acting as chairman in the absence of Chairman William E. Esham Jr., continued the hearing for at least 30 days. He and the other board members will visit the Bad Monkey and check out the sound system themselves. Oasis unit owners will be invited to join them there. The issue will be discussed again during the board’s September meeting.

Wings & Wheels Expo at Ocean City airport, Sat.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) The Ocean City Aviation Association and Ocean City Municipal Airport are back with their Wings & Wheels Expo, bringing more than 200 privately owned aircraft, custom cars and antique military vehicles to the Ocean City airport tomorrow, Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public will have a chance to talk to the owners of the vehicles and craft who travel from around the region to attend the event now in its second year, said Steve Habeger, a member of the OCAA. “The beauty of Wings & Wheels is you can meet people with their own airplanes who fly them,” Habeger said. “It’s really a neat day.” Around 500 attended the inaugural Wings & Wheels event last year, which featured about 50 cars and more than a dozen aircraft, he said.

There will be trophies for first- and second-place winners in each category as well as a people’s choice award, she said. “The owners drive them in and they’re really proud and they like to talk about them,” Habeger said. The highlight for aviation aficionados this year, however, will be the his-

Those looking for a lower-cost experience can take a 20-30-minute helicopter ride over Ocean City for $50, offering “a great, open cab with great views,” Jones said.

Page 37 Organizers of OC Sandfest deem event successful

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Ocean City will wrap up its two-week sand-carving event on Sunday, Aug. 31, marking the end of the inaugural OC Sandfest. With almost a dozen giant sand sculptures lining the shoreline downtown featuring scenes from seascapes to castles with dragons, event organizers and city officials agreed: Sandfest has been a success. “At some points during the weekend, we were three and four people deep along the Boardwalk taking pictures,” said event co-producer Bob Rothermel, of Special Event Productions, Inc., the group that put on the event. “It’s something that really has generated a lot of positive responses from our visitors,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. Patrick Harsch, one of the four carvers with Team Sandtastic who spent last week transforming the beach between North Division and Fourth streets into a mosaic of artwork, agreed that as visitors passed by, they were interested in the works. “As people walk along the Boardwalk, they want to stop and take a picture,” he said. Harsch worked alongside sculptors Larry Hudson, Daniel Belcher and Benjamin Probanza to create 10 giant sculptures, each around 15-by-20-feet at the base, moving around 30 tons of sand in the process, he said. The artists, who have received international accolades for their sand carvings, worked with event organizers to outline the themes of each piece, which ranged from a giant marine life scene featuring dolphins and sea turtles to a patriotic piece, a Maryland sculpture complete with the iconic blue crab and bay bridge, and a “Welcome to Sandfest” sculpture featuring a dragon and castle. “Once we have an idea, we just run with it,” Hudson said. Rain this week didn’t put a damper on the event. In fact, it helped make the dry sand more workable, the sculptors said. “Once the moisture drains, that’s when you start having the problems,” Rothermel said. “A lot of wind blowing over the carvings helped drive the water out… but carvers were in town to help mitigate any issues.” Rothermel said the timing at the end of August worked well for Ocean City’s inaugural sand-carving festival, which drew attention from all types of visitors. “We saw families with young children and we saw empty nesters.

For a $5 ticket, they can enter to win a raffle package worth $700 that includes a two-night start at the Carousel Hotel, a three-day pass to the Endless Summer Cruisin’ car show in October, a helicopter ride over Ocean City and several dinners at local restaurants. There will also be a 50/50 raffle at the event. Several food trucks will be on site selling fare as well as a beer truck with drinks and about 10 arts and crafts vendors selling their wares. The OCAA found inspiration for its Wings & Wheels Expo from the nearby Georgetown, Del., airport, which has a much larger expo the first weekend of each October, Habeger said.

Continued from Page 37 across the board,” he said. “That’s one of the best things about it in my opinion — it really does have an appeal to people of all ages,” Waters said. Last weekend, a series of free, family-friendly activities took place along the beach as part of the festival, including family sand-sculpting competitions and sand-carving demonstrations. “It was very impressive. Despite it being a windy day on the beach, we were pleased with the amount of people who showed up for the interactive activities,” Rothermel said. Once Sandfest wraps on Sunday, organizers will reevaluate the festival and consider changes to the event if it were to return next year — something that “certainly has potential,” Rothermel said. “It was very, very positive. The reaction of the visitors on the Boardwalk was exceedingly strong,” he said. “It’s a really nice family activity — something really special and unique for families to do with their children before they head back to the school,” Waters added. Visitors can still see the sculptures along the beach from North Division Street to Fourth Street this weekend, including at night, when they will be illuminated from 8-11 p.m. through Sunday, Aug. 31. Visit www.specialeventpro.com/ocsandfest for more information on OC Sandfest. Go to www.TeamSandtastic.com to learn more about the team of professional sand sculptors.

“A lot of pilot organizations around the country do a Wings & Wheels just to bring the public in and make them more aware of private aircraft,” he said. Admission to the event costs $5, or is free for children under 12. Proceeds will go toward maintaining the historic Huey Veterans Memorial helicopter display at the Ocean City Municipal Airport. Visit the Wings & Wheels Expo tomorrow, Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the airport in West Ocean City. Visitors might want to arrive early as a team of skydivers will fly in the American flag during the opening ceremony, Habeger said. To get to the airport from Ocean City, cross the Route 50 bridge and turn left onto Route 611, Stephen Decatur Highway. The airport will be on the left.

HOROSCOPE Changing your mind doesn’t come easily for Lambs, who place a high value on commitment. But new facts could emerge that might persuade you to rethink your situation.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine’s eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don’t forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t let difficult people raise the Crab’s ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week’s end.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you’re getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Take some time out from your

many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You still might want to do more

investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new opportunity should be

carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you’ve been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might have to work

harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although family matters

again take up a big chunk of the Goat’s time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you’d been contemplating for a while.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Applying your practicality (what

does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in encouraging others to demand the best from themselves. You would be a fine sports coach, as well as an enlightened teacher.

Celebrate Labor Day with fireworks, festivals, music Continued from Page 40 Festivities continue at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31, with a parade featuring local fire departments, politicians, antique cars, floats and high school marching bands traveling from Deal Island School to the festival grounds, where an antique car show takes place. There will be music by Grateful Dead tribute band Rock Creek Band and around 20 vendors onsite selling everything from jewelry and glass works to sculptures and fabric art. Food vendors will sell classic Eastern Shore fare including crab cakes, oysters, barbecue chicken and freshsqueezed lemonade. Admission is free during the day Saturday. Saturday night, a dance takes place under the stars with Front Page News providing live music. The dance costs $10 and proceeds will benefit the Deal Island-Chance Lions Club, which hosts the annual skipjack races. The races launch Monday, Sept. 1, with a blessing of the fleet before the skipjack races being at 9:30 a.m. Between seven and nine boats will race the course, competing for cash prizes and trophies for first through third place. A swimming contest takes place at 1 p.m. Monday followed by a boatdocking contest at 2:30 p.m. The con-

test is more challenging than most because the boats must dock at an angle, said Joanna Peak, who’s in charge of the Lion’s Clubs crafts program. There will be cash prizes for first through third place in the large boat and small boat categories and a $1,000 winner-takes-all purse for the team docking event. Boats can register the day of the contest. Arts and crafts vendors and food tables will be onsite again Monday. There will also be a skipjack heritage booth with boat exhibits and individuals discussing the skipjack tradition. The Deal Island Community Choir will perform before the awards ceremony at 6 p.m. Admission costs $5 Monday and will benefit the Deal Island-Change Lion’s Club. Events take place rain or shine. To get to the festival from Ocean City, take Route 50 to Route 13 South. Pass through the Town of Princess Anne and then turn right onto Route 363, Deal Island Road. Follow the road about 15 miles until crossing the bridge. The festival will be on the right.

Party launches ‘14 breast cancer awareness events

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Ocean City’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer chapter hosted the kickoff to its annual Pink Ribbon Classic Series, an assortment of local events designed to raise breast cancer awareness and garner money for the American Cancer Society, last Thursday at Jive on 83rd Street. The launch party marked the beginning of more than a month of events from tennis tournaments and concerts to the third annual Making Strides of Ocean City 5K walk and run on the Boardwalk. Most of the events take place in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “Everybody has been affected by the disease in one way or another,” said Beverly Furst, chairwoman for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and run. “We need your help to finish the fight,” said Josette Castiglione, community events specialist for Making Strides. The series started 21 years ago with the Poor Girls Open, a ladies-only billfish release tournament benefiting breast cancer research. This year’s

Pink Ribbon Classic Series features variety of activities Strides name three years ago, drew approximately 800 to Ocean City’s Boardwalk last year — a huge increase over the 300 who attended the inaugural event a decade ago, Furst said. “At that time, I thought $30,000 was a lot,” she said. But last year, the walk raised nearly $385,000. “It just blew us away,” Furst said. Across the country, Making Strides unites more than 300 communities to raise more than $60 million for the ACS each year, Castiglione said. Money raised by the Pink Ribbon Classic series goes to ACS national breast cancer research programs and services, though the organization funnels some funding back into the local community, Furst said. Some of the local programs include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side-effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a one-on-one support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; Road to Recovery, which gives patients transportation to and from cancer treatments; Hope Lodge, which provides lodging during treatment; Patient Navigator Program, which helps with the health care system; Cancer Survivors Network and a 24-hour-a-day

cancer information center. This year, 4,570 women in Maryland will be diagnosed with breast cancer, Castiglione said. Across the country, that number rises to 232,670 and an estimated 40,000 will die from the disease, according to the ACS. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women except for skin cancer and is the second-leading cause of cancerous death in women, according to the ACS. One in two women newly diagnosed with the disease reaches out to the ACS for help and support. In Ocean City, more than 100 participants have already signed up for the Making Strides walk and run, raising almost $4,000 nearly two months before the event on Saturday, Oct. 18. “Ocean City is a really giving community,” Furst said. “It’s been amazing.” Visit http://bit.ly/XMCYA4 to sign up for or donate to the Making Strides of Ocean City 5K walk or run. Runners pay a $35 registration fee, which goes toward their fundraising goals, and walkers participate for free.

ON GUARD

Fall challenging part of OCBP’s guarding season

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Where did the summer go? It is difficult to believe that summer is almost over and the “week” of August, as we call it, has come and is just about gone. All of us are trying to take in all that we can of what is left of the summertime and make it last as long as possible. For the majority of us who are students or educators, our life away from the beach is calling us back. OCBP has a large number of SRTs in college and many others on the patrol are educators at various levels in school systems throughout Maryland, the U.S. and even Canada. It is a lifestyle that allows us to have our summers free to pursue our work with the beach patrol. The downside of this availability is that many colleges and school systems start classes before Labor Day weekend. Consequently, as classes have started again, the beach patrol’s numbers start shrinking. As the beach patrol strives to maintain the maximum number of guard stands on the beach, vacationers continue to choose Ocean City as a vacation destination. This situation becomes the greatest challenge for the patrol as we try to provide the same level of protection for each visitor as when we are at 100 percent staffing. To complicate matters, this is also the time of year that Ocean City experiences an increase in the volume and size of waves due to tropical activity in the Atlantic. August and September are traditionally our large surf months, producing larger waves, rip currents and shorebreak. As we move later into September, fewer guards are left to handle bigger rips and waves. This is when the training and skills they have been honing all summer will be put to use keeping all of our beach patrons safe during these busy final weeks of the season. Through the experience and expertise of Lt. Mike Stone (30 years with the patrol and a local school counselor) and his scheduling skills, we have been able to obtain our goal of keeping the maximum number of guard stands on the beach for the maximum number of days. Many of our personnel who have not left for other commitments will volunteer to work without a day off to add to our staffing so that we can provide the maximum coverage. All surf rescue technicians will have a more challenging situation with the greater distance between stands and a larger area of responsibility. Many of these personnel will choose to work with-

When Lt.

Stone has been with the patrol for 30 years. His primary responsibilities include employee assignments, placement of stands on the beach, scheduling the SRTs, and accounting for employee work hours before they go to payroll. In the off-season Stone is employed with the Worcester County school system as a school counselor.

Continued from Page 47 for other obligations away from the beach, will return on a part-time basis.They return to help out on both weekdays and weekends, even scheduling classes to allow availability during several days each week. OCBP is committed to provide SRTs along the entire 10 miles of beach for all visitors and residents, so rather than have unguarded areas, the number of available lifeguard towers is equally distributed along the beach front. As this redistribution occurs the location and distance between stands changes (sometimes on a daily basis). We will continue to provide coverage of all 10 miles of Ocean City beaches until Sunday, Sept. 22. Thanks to the support of the mayor and city council we will continue to provide this level of coverage whereas nearby beaches have reduced their coverage throughout the season and will be closing down their entire operation earlier than in past seasons due to funding issues. Although Ocean City’s coverage will be done with fewer personnel and less lifeguard towers, we will supplement this coverage by increasing the number of mobile rescue units patrolling the beach. These mobile

units are first-aid and AED equipped with one SRT (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other SRT (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency. Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians, medical first responders and are quad (ATV) certified. SRTs will be on duty daily between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. To make sure we end our season and yours safely, vacationers and locals can help the guards and themselves by making the extra effort to swim close to a lifeguard. We strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay within the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device. Captain’s Note: Thanks to the professionalism and commitment of our Surf Rescue Technicians who are willing to return for several years we have over one-third of our 200 employees with five or more years’ experience with Ocean City. What makes this statistic even more amazing is that 85 percent of our employees must relocate to Ocean City each season from their full-time residences.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Chef not only one who cooks, but artist also

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Another season of cooking classes with my little chefs is coming to an end; a teacher always hopes the lessons ascertained will mushroom into endless possibilities. When the children are taught that the delightful mysteries associated with the art of cooking not only manifest themselves in the kitchen but also encompass the lessons of life; they will learn to trust their own imagination and seek their undiscovered selves. Fruity fries and pumpkin parfait were on the menu at the Hilton Suites Oceanfront and Holiday Inn Oceanfront. Each recipe was carefully chosen for specific tasks at hand; our aspiring cooks are more skilled than ever and welcome the opportunity for advancement. Technology of television has showcased and elevated culinary potential; garnishes of enthusiasm highlight the potential of our youth. “Presentation” has been a hot theme for the last two years. A chef is not only one who cooks, but is also an artist. Taste is obviously on the forefront but plating is just as important. I encourage my students to think of the plate as a canvass. Every action and detail must have purpose intended. Tasting is a sensorial experience that lends credence to the visual interaction and crescendos into artistic expression. Education is a progressive state of learning. Children’s cooking classes encourage individual aptitude while at the same time adding a flavor of fun. Ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar were the secret ingredients of the day. Allowing the chef’s to taste the individual spices and create their personal version of the recipe emulsifies confidence with creativity. Voltaire - a French enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher, once said, “The infinite little have a pride infinitely great.” I think this quote perfectly sums up the aromas of the daily classes.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Lobster corn dogs with citrus sauce Continued from Page 49 tersweet, but seeing familiar faces year after year along with developing new relationships adds a flavor of friendly satisfaction. The summer of 2014 is coming to an end and now it is time to develop a new menu for the fall. I hope my little chefs take with them the fact that cooking is far more than just associations with food. Gastronomy is a precious gift that connects cultures from many diversified backgrounds. As parents and culinary teachers, it is imperative we instill appreciation for all for harmony and peace of our fellow man. Lobster corn dogs embrace the theme of the “child” in all of us. The recipe is simple to make and an innovative twist on the traditional corn dog. Frozen lobster tails are perfectly

acceptable to help minimize the cost. Lobster corn dogs with a citrus dipping sauce is a must on the Eastern Shore. If one prefers shrimp over lobster, simply skewer one to three shrimp (depending on the size of the shrimp). The cooking time will need to be reduced. The citrus dipping sauce can be used interchangeable with lobster or shrimp corn dogs. Enjoy! Lobster corn dogs ½ cup yellow cornmeal ½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted ¼ cup cornstarch 1 cup soda water, chilled ½ teaspoon cayenne powder canola oil for frying 4 bamboo skewers (10 inches long) 4 (3 oz.) lobster tails kosher salt Citrus Dipping Sauce 1 cup orange marmalade zest of 1 lemon zest of 1 lime zest of ½ naval orange 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated 1 teaspoon cilantro, finely chopped few pinches dried, crushed red pepper flakes few pinches white and black sesame seeds Garnishes

fresh cilantro black and white sesame seeds paprika 1. Prepare citrus dipping sauce ahead of time. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly. The citrus dipping sauce can be served cold or room temperature. 2. For the corn dog batter, in a large bowl mix together the cornmeal, flour, cornstarch and cayenne powder. Slowly whisk in the soda. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. 3. In a deep fryer or pot, heat oil to 325 degrees. You will need enough oil to completely submerge the lobster tails. 4. Remove the lobster meat from the shell. Thread the meat onto the bamboo skewer. Dip the skewered lobster into the corn batter, coating them thoroughly. Then very carefully submerge them one by one into the hot oil for 3 ½ to 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. 5. Place on a cooling rack and sprinkle with kosher salt. Plate lobster corn dog with citrus dipping sauce. Garnish and serve while the lobster corn dogs are still hot.

Tournament ‘great experience’ for Gebhart By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) A former Stephen Decatur High School golf star took on some of the best amateur golfers in the world earlier this month during the U.S. Amateur Championship tournament in Johns Creek, Ga. Kyle Gebhart, 23, placed 61st among the 312 athletes competing in the premier event Aug. 11-17 at the Atlantic Athletic Club’s Highlands Course. Though he did not make it to the final rounds, the local golfer said

playing in the tournament “was a great experience.” “It was a course I’d never been to — nothing you’d ever see on the Eastern Shore,” Gebhart said. He shot a 76 during the first day of play, putting him in the top 100 of the competition. But the greens presented challenges for Gebhart. “The first day, it was just a huge mental grind and I let it get to me. On the back nine, I made a few really bad mental errors,” he said. “I just had no confidence whatsoever on the green.”

Bayside is located in Selbyville, just four miles west of Fenwick Island, Del. at the intersec-

tion of Route 54 and Route 20. Participants should arrive no later than 5:15 p.m., and are encouraged to wear red, white and blue and cheer for the veterans as they enter the community.

Brown Box Theatre Project presents classic, ‘Macbeth’

(Aug. 29, 2014) Brown Box Theatre Project’s fourth annual Free Shakespeare at the Beach tour will travel throughout Delmarva to bring an outdoor presentation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy “Macbeth� to area schools and local communities free of charge. Shakespeare’s spellbinding vision of ambition, treachery, mystery and magic will be conjured up this September in a three-week tour throughout a dozen locations on the Delmarva Peninsula. In these free outdoor performances, theatre newcomers and Shakespeare devotees alike will witness the rise and fall of Macbeth, the renowned war hero who murders and usurps his rightful king after a fateful encounter with a trio of infernal witches. Kyler Taustin, an Eastern Shore native, founded Brown Box Theatre Project in 2010 with the goal of enlivening the region’s theatre scene by bringing the performing arts to audiences who ordinarily lack access to live theatre. “We are proud to continue our tradition of being a reliable source of arts entertainment and theatre education for Delmarva,� Taustin said.

The Thaler Gallery is featuring “Unspoken Story,” a solo exhibition by artist Jinchul Kim, a realist oil painter known for his exceptional portraiture. A resident of Maryland since 1996, Kim was born in South Korea and came to the U.S. in 1989. He earned a BFA and MFA from King Se-Jong University in Seoul, Korea, concentrating on painting.

His work has been exhibited in Korea, Japan, France, Spain and the U.S. and he has had 20 solo exhibitions in New York, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Seoul and more than 170 invitational shows and group exhibitions. Kim currently teaches painting and drawing at Salisbury University. An all-media, 2-D and 3-D “Artists Choice” competitive show fills the second floor Galleria in September and will be judged by Grover Cantwell Jr. of Salisbury. Cantwell, a watercolor and oil painter, is a native of the Eastern Shore and president of the Wicomico County Art League and co-chairman of the Salisbury Wicomico County Arts Council. He is also a past board member of the Ward Foundation, Arts Council and Art Institute & Gallery in Salisbury. September’s Artist-in-Residence in Studio E is Rosemary Burns. Burns is a watercolor, acrylics and pastel artist whose background also includes acting, singing and dance. She has appeared in professional

and community theaters in Florida and Maryland, as a principal ballerina in Washington, D.C., and has been involved in professional musical theater, opera and community musical groups.

Members Spotlight gallery to feature Phyllis Jaffe’s work Continued from Page 59 will feature Phyllis Jaffe, who earned a BFA from Ball State University, a doctorate in art and education from Indiana University and an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, MI. After retiring as president of Kendall College, Jaffe continued on an eclectic creative path, establishing women’s crafts programs in developing countries, earning two theological degrees, and being ordained and serving as a hospital chaplain. She then brought her attention back to her artistic side and began taking workshops and studying with various artists and authors as she developed her signature style. She says her art is about “embracing

grief, loss, poverty, depression and fear into the whole of life, merging it with the boldness of being healthy and leaving a positive mark, relying heavily on color and texture across all media.� For more information about the offerings at the OC Center for the Arts, contact the Art League at 410524-9433 or visit www.ArtLeagueofOceanCity.org. Funding for public programs and exhibits by the Art League of Ocean City at the Ocean City Center for the Arts is provided, in part, by the Worcester County Arts Council, Maryland State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, organizations dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive.

Judge says defendant failed to use options for better life By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Having an education beyond high school gave the defendant the opportunity to have a better life, but he did not take advantage of it, Judge Richard Bloxom told a man just before sentencing him to eight years in prison for drug crimes. “I see lots of people involved with drugs,� the judge told Clement Lee Johnson Jr. in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Aug. 12. The backgrounds of some of those people are such that is it is “probably not surprising they run afoul of the law.� Those people fall into a lifestyle of using drugs, but Johnson, the judge said, struck him as “someone in a different category.� Johnson, 31, who pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute it, possession of heroin, possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana and possession of a regulated, stolen firearm, attended the University of Richmond on a scholarship for four-and-a-half years. He needed only two additional courses to graduate. He had the opportunity to experience positive influences and to be around educated people, but he did not take advantage of it. “You decided to fritter away those opportunities,� Judge Bloxom said. Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby recounted that the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Enforcement Team and the STAR Team executed a search and seizure warrant at Johnson’s residence on West Line Road in Bishopville on Jan. 31. Johnson saw them from the deck and went to the bathroom, where they arrested him. It was not the first time the Criminal Enforcement Team had been to his residence; it was the third. They had been watching Johnson for years,

Oglesby said. This time, they found a revolver in a tennis shoe, two magazines, one loaded, in a dresser and an unloaded, stolen rifle wrapped in a sweatshirt beneath his bed. In a curtain opening, they found a bag containing crack and 27 bags with blue wax folding papers containing heroin. They also found a bag of marijuana, a marijuana grinder, a digital scale with crack residue, a cell phone with messages about drugs and in one of his pockets, $425. The amount of cocaine, 4.79 grams, indicated intent to distribute, Oglesby said. So did the 27 bags of heroin, which weighed 5.76 grams. The marijuana weighed 2.58 grams. Judge Bloxom then found Johnson guilty of the crime to which he had already entered pleas. In exchange for the guilty pleas, the State’s Attorney’s Office did not prosecute additional charges against Johnson. “It always does surprise me that people with options choose to go this route,� Oglesby said. The incident was not an isolated one because Johnson had been engaged in dealing drugs for a period of time and continues to be a threat to the community, Oglesby said. “I would like the sentence to serve not only as punishment, but a deterrent to others considering such behavior,� he said. A sentence of 10 years in prison with all but five suspended would send the right message to the community, he added. Johnson’s public defender, Kristina Watkowski, strongly opposed Oglesby’s recommended and said Johnson had voluntarily sought help for his drug addiction. By focusing on his own addiction, he could reach the ultimate goal of helping the community. Speaking on his own behalf, Johnson said his drug addiction was a bad habit he picked up in college. Since college, he had worked as a delivery man for a furniture store, worked for a pool company, done painting, concrete work, farm work and bred pit bulls. He had also been unemployed. Judge Bloxom said he was perplexed “about why someone who had all these opportunities chose to do what you did. Drug dealing, he said, is very, very serious and the “amount of misery in our society is incalculable. You made yourself part of the problem.� The judge then sentenced Johnson to eight years in prison, with all but three years suspended, on the charge of possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute it. After release from prison, Johnson will be on supervised probation for three years and must pay a $1,000 fine. He also fined him $500, ordered him to perform 40 hours of community service and sentenced him to two years incarceration on the firearms charge. The sentences will run concurrently.

OBITUARIES JEANNE WOLF SHREEVE Ocean Pines Jeanne Wolf Shreeve, 93, died peacefully, Aug. 4, 2014, at Atlantic Shores Nursing Home in Millsboro Del. She was born Sept. 28, 1920 in Baltimore to Myrtle Pumphrey Wolf and Casper Shunk Wolf. She married James Lockerman Shreeve on June 15, 1941. Jeanne Shreeve Jeanne graduated from Friends School of Baltimore and Goucher College, and received her masters degree from Johns Hopkins University. Her primary occupation was wife, mother and grandmother, but Jeanne also taught first grade for 10 years and was Lower School Head for 14 years, at St. Paul’s School in Brooklandville, Md. In retirement, Jeanne started School Search, a resource for parents. She was also a private tutor and worked in other independent schools before fully retiring. Jeanne was a life-long Maryland resident, born in Baltimore and residing in Timonium, Upperco and Ocean Pines through the years. Jeanne loved purple, children and animals. She was a gardener, avid reader and crossword solver. After moving to Ocean Pines, she and her husband, Jim enjoyed playing

“chicken-foot” with close friends. For many years, Jeanne volunteered at Atlantic General Hospital, the Calvin B. Taylor House and the Berlin Senior Center. She was an active member of the Buckingham Presbyterian Church congregation and belonged to an Ocean Pines Red Hat group. Jeanne was a generous, cheerful, loving individual who will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends and family. “You will be lucky in all things,” is a quote from a fortune cookie that Jeanne kept on her refrigerator, which well represented her feelings about her life. She is survived by her sons, James L. Shreeve, Jr. of Ocean Pines and Thomas L. Shreeve and his wife, Patricia D. Shreeve, of Lewes Del. and by daughter, Barbara J. Shreeve of Milford Del.

WARREN MORRIS HEMPHILL Bishopville Warren Morris Hemphill, 57, of Bishopville died Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. He was born in Salisbury and was the son of the late Clarence William “Bill” and Anna Mary (Morris) Hemphill. He was the owner and operator of Hemphill’s Dock in Bishopville. Where taking care of customers was like catching up with old friends. He was supported by many friends who rallied around him in difficult times. He also raised livestock on the farm. He was a member of Zion United Methodist Church in St. Martin’s Neck. He was thoughtful and kind hearted, always putting others first. He enjoyed time alone to think. His favorite spots were the dock at sunset, in the deer stand or sitting in his

pick-up back on the hill. He was happiest in the woods taking in God’s beautiful creations. He is survived by a sister, Wanda Hemphill Outlaw and her husband, Pat of Kinston, N.C.; a nephew, Benjamin “Ren” Warren Outlaw and several loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. His family truly appreciates the prayers and acts of kindness over many years. A funeral service was held on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014 at Hastings Funeral Home in Selbyville.

(Aug. 29, 2014) When a coaching spot opened within the Worcester Prep golf program, Scot Dailey was interested in the job. “I’m very excited about coaching. I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “There’s some young talent that I’m eager to work with…I love giving back and Scot Dailey helping kids achieve their goals.” Dailey has been involved with the sport for a number of years, from ages 13-22 then again from ages 30-38. He was the assistant golf pro at Lighthouse Sound Golf Course in Bishopville for two years. For the past six years he has been the head golf pro. When Kevin Gates, head coach of the Worcester Prep golf team for the last seven seasons, heard Dailey was interested in filling the position vacated by Keith Geiger, whose family welcomed a third child, he thought Dailey would be perfect to lead the program. They all worked together as coaches in the Worcester boys’ basketball program last winter. Geiger is See VETERANS Page 90

Veterans Cook and Doyle to lead golf squad Continued from Page 89 the varsity team head coach. “I said ‘if Scot can do it, he should be the head coach. He’s way more qualified than me. He’s a golf pro,’” Gates said. “I was a caddy growing up. He knows what he’s doing way more around the golf course than I do, so it was just a no brainer… Kevin Gates It’s really better for the program. They have a more qualified coach, they have a beautiful facility and I can still be a part of it, which is what I wanted because I love [coaching].” Since Dailey is the head golf pro at Lighthouse Sound, it will be the Mallards’ new home course. Their home course had been Ocean City Golf Club for a number of years. Gates said he wants to thank Buddy Sass, golf pro at OCGC, and everyone who works there for hosting the team and allowing the group to play there. The Mallards lost their No. 1 player from 2013, Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference Player of the Year, Billy Brittingham, to graduation. Seven golfers who competed for the varsity team have returned to compete this year. The 2014 varsity squad consists of 13 players. Leading the group will be junior Jason Cook. “With him leading the charge, we’re in good shape,” Gates said of Cook. Cook has been playing golf for nine years so he is comfortable on the course. “I think I can help [teammates] out just mentally prepare for the games because I know a lot of them will be nervous for matches,” said Cook, a three-year varsity golfer. “I can help them with that and let them know that it’s just like a practice round, and to have fun.”

Cook said during Monday’s practice that he was pleased with his performance early in the season. “I just want to keep playing like how I started. I think everyone wants to get better,” he said. Senior Rylie Doyle, a four-year varsity player, is currently in the No. 2 spot. Competing at the varsity level since she was a freshman, Doyle will be able to lead the team with her experience.

“Golf’s a game where you can get down on yourself. I think I can help them stay positive about their game,” she said. “Hopefully we can all work together to reach our personal goals and goals as a team.” When asked about Dailey coaching the team, Doyle said, “I really like him. I think he’s going to do a lot of good for the team.” Junior John Meakin is the team’s No. 3 golfer. Veteran sophomores

Reid Carey and Jon Ruddo and newcomer Bennett Truitt round out the team’s top six golfers. Dailey said the Mallards’ strength is in their effort, eagerness and their “work ethic and willingness to learn and get better.” Dailey said one of the goals for the team is to win the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference title. Last year, the Prep squad captured its seventh consecutive ESIAC crown under the direction of Gates. Cook, Meakin, Doyle and Ruddo received All-Tournament and All-Conference honors. He would also like the team to be competitive in Bayside Conference matches. The Mallards typically face their toughest competition during matches with the public schools of the Bayside Conference.

Jehle new Worcester Prep volleyball coach ‘The chemistry between the girls and the coaches, we all mesh well,’ Maull says

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 29, 2014) This is the fourth year Worcester Prep will be offering a volleyball program. When it was first launched, not one of the Lady Mallards had much, if any experience playing the sport.

A majority of the girls competing this year for new Head Coach Kristin Jehle have several years of experience under their belts. Seven of the MalKristin Jehle lards on Jehle’s nineplayer roster are veterans. “The program started my freshman year so I’ve been on the team the whole

time. It’s fun to see how everyone’s grown,” senior Mattie Maull said after Monday’s practice. “We’ve only had about a week of practice, but I think we’re looking good so far.” Maull said she is looking forward to getting back on the court after missing most of the 2013 season with a broken finger. “It’s my last hurrah so I’m pretty excited,” Maull said. “It’s amazing (having Jehle as a coach). This is the best

that it’s been. The chemistry between the girls and the coaches, we all mesh well and I think we’re taking direction well from them.” Also returning to the court for their senior year is setter Cecily Sass and Michelle Curtis. Jehle said all three seniors have stepped up as team leaders. Juniors Bridget Brown, Erika Smith and Madison Doody are also back to See LADY Page 93

Lady Mallards have shown improvement in short time Continued from Page 91 compete along with sophomore Amy Lizas. “It’s been fun so far. It’s going to be a good season,” said Lizas, a two-year member of the team. “[Jehle] has helped us a lot with our skills. She knows how we play and she can teach us things that will make us better.” Freshmen Lily Belle Baker and Caroline Pasquariello have joined the squad this year. Jehle played volleyball for Salisbury University from 2009-2012. She was an assistant coach for the team during the 2013-14 season. Jehle said she contacted Worcester Prep’s Director of Athletics, Matt McGinnis to see if the school was in need of a volleyball coach. There was a position available and Jehle was thrilled to take it. She will be assisted by Charlene Fischer.

“I’m very excited. There’s a lot of new talent and hopefully we can build the program,” Jehle said. “Because I’m young, I feel like I can relate to the players.” Jehle said as a player, she never responded well to coaches who yelled. She believes in positive encouragement and helping players learn from their mistakes. She wants her players to feel calm and relaxed. “The sport is based on skill and you have to be patient with them,” she said. The transition has been fairly easy coming in as a new coach, Jehle said, although coaching a high school team is different from a college-level squad. “They’re still learning and growing

as players and I just have to explain things a little more,” she said. She had worked with several Worcester players during camps and clinics at Salisbury University so it also made it easier seeing some familiar faces when pre-season began Aug. 18. The Mallards have shown improvement in just a short amount of time. Jehle said she was impressed with her players’ performance during a recent scrimmage. “They’re learning so fast. Things are starting to click,” she said. “They’re starting to understand volleyball IQ…” She expects the girls to have positive attitudes and give it their all, 100 percent. Jehle wants them to learn and soak

in all the information she provides. “They will get better the more they practice and the more they test themselves,” she said. “The goal is for them to understand the game of volleyball, improve their volleyball knowledge, see the bigger picture and keep improving as players and as a team. By the end of the season, I hope they’re meshing well and connecting as a team.” Last year the team’s season came to an end in the semifinal round of the Peninsula Athletic Christian Conference tournament. The squad lost 11 matches before winning the final two if the 2013 regular season. Maull and Lizas said the Mallards hope to win more matches this season.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 29, 2014) Carol Hartnett, who has led the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer program since 1998, said this year’s squad is young and small in size, but the Lady Mallards are a talented, athletic group. Hartnett’s 23player roster consists of five seniors, five juniors, five sophomores and eight freshCarol Hartnett men. “They’re enthusiastic and they’re working very hard,” she said. “The girls are well balanced in where they can play. They’re flexible. They can play anywhere on the field.” Fourteen of the girls competed last year when the team went 9-3. The Mallards fell to Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, 3-0, in the championship game. The team lost five players to graduation and two veterans are currently sidelined with injuries. Sophomore Julie Talbert (2013 All-ESIAC Second Team) has stress fractures in her back and senior Amanda Gabriel (2013 AllESIAC First Team) is hampered by residual effects from a concussion she suffered last season. Junior Grace Tunis (Second Team) will run the defensive end as she returns to the goal. “This year we have a lot of new girls stepping up so they need a little bit of instruction in the back,” said Tunis, a three-year varsity player. “I think we’ve been doing a great job. We hustle everywhere. We always have everyone out on the field ready to go…I think everyone is excited for the season. Worcester Prep soccer is one to watch See TUNIS Page 95

Several boys have ability to score goals for Prep squad

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 29, 2014) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team is starting a new chapter in 2014, according to third-year Coach Terry Underkoffler, as the program graduated 12 seniors, two of whom scored a majority of the Mallards’ goals last season. Terry Underkoffler “We graduated some big personalities. Ryan Nally (Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference Player of the Year) and JB Loomis (2013 ESIAC First Team) scored almost 40 goals between the two of them. That’s a lot of goals to make up,” Underkoffler said. “Complementary players (from last season) will have to step up this year…

With a young team, it will take time to jell. There will be some growing pains.” Last season, the Mallards went 123-2. They pulled out a 2-1 victory over Salisbury Christian in the ESIAC finals to win the championship title. In the past, the Mallards relied on one or two players to produce offensively. This year, Underkoffler said the team is more balanced as there are four or five players who are capable of scoring a number of goals. Of the 20 players on Underkoffler’s varsity roster, about half are veterans. Junior Charlie Pritchard returns in goal for Worcester. Wyatt Richins (First Team), a junior, started the 2013 season on the forward line, but he was needed on defense and stepped up to the challenge. He will play center back this year. He will be See UNDERKOFFLER Page 96

Sophomore Karlie Southcomb played volleyball last year, but she has joined the soccer team for 2014. She will play in the midfield. Freshman Kaylee Dickson is also new to the squad. She will take the field on the forward line. Hartnett will look to her seniors– Soule, Brennan, Shelby Laws (midfield), Maura Smith (defense) and Mikalah Potvin (goalie)–for leadership. “I think since we have a young team they’ll definitely look up to the seniors and upperclassmen, and we just have to

help them out,” said Brennan, a fouryear player. “I’m a very vocal person so I like to encourage people and give them advice and help direct them on the field…Our freshmen have stepped up and the girls who have been on the team more than one year are doing their part.” Hartnett said she was pleasantly surprised with the Mallards’ performance during last Friday’s Play Day in Berlin with several other schools. She was impressed with the way the girls communicated on the field. Hartnett said during practices they have been working on power and speed through conditioning drills. If they can out-hustle their opponent and get to the ball first, they will have more time to do what they want with it. “We want to work hard together to improve every aspect of the game,” Hartnett said. Added Tunis, “I think as long as we work hard we can win the ESIAC.”

That’s what I’m hoping,” said Shockley, a member of the team for two years. “Trying to make up for the lost seniors and all the goals will be a big part (of his game) and I’m hoping to either score myself or give the ball to others for them to score.” Added Osias, a three-year varsity player, “Everybody is stepping up this year because they have to and that’s when character shines through.” “[The Mallards have] lots of skill and

what they lack in size they [make up for with] heart and footwork,” he said. Newcomers who will contribute include junior defender Ross Dickerson, sophomore midfielder Patrick Patrera, a transfer from James M. Bennett High School, and freshman forward Brendan Miller, who comes to Worcester from the Baltimore area. Underkoffler said freshmen Tucker Brown (midfield/defense) and Brenner Maull (defense) show promise. “We had two back-to-back seniorladen teams and now this year we’re a young team,” Underkoffler said. “They have skill, but they’re not as big and they’re not as physical as teams before them, but I think we will compete…I want to see them get better every week and become a good attacking and a good defensive team and be competitive in every match.” Underkoffler said he hopes the Mallards will be peaking and playing their best soccer by the third week of October, just before playoffs.

Core group of field hockey players return for ‘14 season

Worcester Prep seniors Natalie Twilley, left, and Jordie Loomis, who have been on the varsity team since their freshman year, will help lead the field hockey squad in 2014.

Freshman goalie Grace Nichols protects the goal as teammates Emilee Dorey, a freshman, and sophomore Leigh Lingo go head-to-head for the ball.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 29, 2014) Despite graduating seven seniors who were starters and key contributors for the Worcester Prep field hockey team, a core group of Lady Mallards are returning to compete in 2014. Coach Jenny Frostrom, now in her eighth year at the Jenny Frostrom helm, and Assistant Coach Katie Oxenreider have 21 players on their roster. Fifteen girls played last year when the team went undefeated–a first for the program–14-0. The Mallards captured their second consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship, shutting out Sts. Peter & Paul in the title match, 2-0. In 14 games, Worcester scored 89 goals and only gave up three. The 15 veterans are joined by six freshmen this season. “Last year’s juniors are back as seniors this year and the three juniors were all starters. We also have a large sophomore group (eight) returning for their second year and they’re stepping it up. They’re stronger and more knowledgeable,” Frostrom said. “We have great leadership. We have a strong core group, we’re just trying to replace where we lost…They’re learning and growing every time they step on the field.” Frostrom said the Mallards are dedicated and they are serious about the game and where they want the team to go.

She will look to her four seniors for leadership. During pre-season, they have helped teach the underclassmen, motivate and encourage them. Jordie Loomis, a four-year member of the squad, will run the midfield in the center spot. “We definitely have potential,” she said. “I think we look good on the field. We’ve definitely improved since the first day of pre-season.” Senior Natalie Twilley will control the defense. She may also play in the midfield as she did last season. “It’s been different (playing on defense compared to in the midfield), but I think I’ll enjoy it,” said Twilley, a varsity player since her freshman year. “It’s easier to see the whole field from playing the defense line. I’ll be able to communicate more and give them helpful advice…I’m excited for my last year. Hopefully it will be my best year.” Seniors Carolyn Dorey and Caroline Lindsay will take the field on the defense and forward lines, respectively. Midfielder Isabel Carulli (2013 AllESIAC Second Team), forward Hanna Nechay and defender Hannah Arrington are all junior veterans. Sophomore Stormy McGuiness and Grace Nichols, a freshman, will guard the goal for Worcester. Freshman newcomer Leigh Menendez will contribute on the front line. Frostrom said the team needs to master its offensive attack and get the forwards and midfielders to work together and jell. The biggest challenge, she said, will be building the squad’s defense since there are younger girls playing in the back.

Tax forgiveness for mortgage distress still in question

CLARA VAUGHN/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Little Leo’s American & Mediterranean Kitchen opened on 78th Street this summer bringing from-scratch Greek dishes from gyros to baklava and American classics such as burgers to Ocean City..

Little Leo’s serves Mediterranean, traditional fare

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) Christina Kaouris, known by most as Mrs. Christina, arrives at her 78th Street kitchen at 5:30 most mornings. By opening time at 11 a.m., she has a host of homemade dishes from spanakopita and pastitsio to desserts such as baklava and walnut cakes lining the racks ready for customers to arrive at Little Leo’s American & Mediterranean Kitchen. Though she’s been in the restaurant industry for more than 40 years, she treats her business more like a home kitchen where everything’s made from scratch. She said she wanted to bring something different to Ocean City when she opened Little Leo’s in May. “I’m not here to make a million dollars. I’m here to make people happy,” said the restaurant’s owner and chef. Asked which is her best dish, Kaouris answered: “I put my love in all of them.” The Greek-American grew up on a dairy farm near the city of Patras, where she started her from-scratch philosophy early in life making her own yogurt. She married Pete Kaouris in 1963, the same year she moved to the United States. The Kaouris’s got their start in the restaurant industry three years later

when they converted a carport in the Maridel Motel into a four-seat stop called the Maridel Coffee Shop. The 40th Street business eventually expanded into the entire first floor, but with brothers and sisters arriving from Greece and the arrival of the Kaouris’s son Leonidas, the family needed more space. That’s when Pete and his brothers George and Nick opened PGN Crabs and, later, Pete and Christina opened Leo’s Seafood Restaurant on 139th Street. Little Leo’s is an offshoot of the up-

town eatery — one that Kaouris has been brainstorming for a long time. “I wanted for many, many years to do something different,” she said. “It finally came to me.” Little Leo’s, named after her son, took over the space that formerly housed an array of other restaurants over 50 years, when the Kaouris’s leased the space out. With the addition of an outdoor deck, the eatery was ready to open for summer on May 7. Kaouris cooks the same Greek dishes she did growing up, adding See LITTLE Page 100

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Aug. 29, 2014) In a recent news release issued by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), it was reported that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on Congress last week to do the right thing for financially distressed American families who lost homes to foreclosure or short sales this year. Holder announced the details of the U.S. Department of Justice’s settlement with Bank of America, which includes $7 billion in relief to consumers; however, Holder lamented that Congressional inaction to extend the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act will mean that people meant to be helped by the settlement funds will instead be penalized on their income taxes. NAR’s President, Steve Brown, stated, “The tax relief expired on Dec. 31 last year and unless Congress acts to extend it, every person who has already sold or plans to sell a home in a short sale in 2014, will pay taxes on nonexistent mortgage debt, which is money many don’t have.” Realtors® and NAR are strong supporters of the bipartisan Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Act, sponsored by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and Dean Heller, (R-NV), and Reps. Tom Reed (R-NY) and Charlie Rangel (D-NY), to prevent underwater borrowers from paying taxes on any mortgage debt forgiven or cancelled by a lender after their home is sold for less money than is owed. This type of “kick them when they’re down” mentality is an unfair practice. It could also spur more struggling homeowners to choose default/foreclosure. The Senate Finance Committee voted to revive the tax break for the 2014-2015 tax years, but the provision is ensnared in a partisan dispute as it is part of a larger package of comprehensive tax reforms. It has been reported that Congress plans to settle the matter after the midterm elections in November, so concerned citizens can contact their Congress members to support the reinstatement of this important tax relief act. Lauren Bunting is a licensed realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc. serving Worcester and Wicomico counties.

Among diner’s favorites are her gyros, chicken souvlaki and chicken subs, all marinated in house. Customers can take their orders to go from the small carryout shop or eat their hearty portions of moussaka or pastitsio on the deck outside. Some even come back inside after the meal to praise Kaouris’ cooking, she said. “From 1966 to today, this town has been very, very good to us,” said Kaouris, who still helps her husband run Leo’s Restaurant uptown. “I just want to make people happy.” Little Leo’s is on 78th Street between The Bayside Skillet and K-Coast Surf Shop. The carryout businesses is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Kaouris plans to keep the business open through the end of September before closing for the season.

So How’s Business? July, August make up for slow June as restaurants head into holiday weekend

By Phil Jacobs Editor (Aug. 29, 2014) Unlike the hotel and motel owners who pretty much fell under the category of “it depends who you ask,” restaurant owners seemed generally pleased by this summer’s business. Most agreed that June was a down month and attributed that to the laterthan- normal school dismissals for summer vacation due to the harsh winter weather experienced statewide. Add to that a disdain for senior week and the college “Beach Takeover Weekend” that never really amounted to much, which might have contributed to a slower June for restaurants. But July and August, according to those interviewed, more than made up for June. Restaurant owners are also expecting September weekends to bring in good business. “We’ve had a tremendous season,” said Pam Stansell, who with her husband Macky owns Macky’s Bar & Grill on 54th Street bayside. “We have been very pleased. We have a repeat clientele and we hope that it keeps going the way it’s going.”

Macky took it one step further calling summer 2014 an “up summer.” “We are substantially ahead of last year,” he said. “I think when you treat your help like they are your partners you succeed.” Jay Taustin sits on the upper deck outside of his Embers Restaurant looking over his Blu Crab House and Raw Bar. It’s late in the afternoon. Inside, Embers on 23rd Street is buzzing with customers, mostly families; and outside on a picture perfect day, customers all of all ages are filling up on crabs and other delicacies. The location next to the bay and a bordering channel has a unique feel to it. Macky’s bayside seating offers the same sort of laid-back ambiance as does Fish Tales and Blu. Taustin, like Pam and Macky, said business this summer has been great. And he sees the future building of three chain hotels in Ocean City and West Ocean City as a plus. More hotels, he said, means more customers. And for Taustin, it’s about “exceeding the expectations” of the customers. With over 850 seats in Embers, he is able to seat customers quickly. He refers to Blu, which can seat 450, as hi “new baby.” The restaurant is in its third summer season. During the season, he employs over 200 people. But what he sees as a big key to success in the

Pam and Macky Stansell, owners of Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill at 54th Street agreed that this has been an “up summer.”

Ocean City restaurant business is to give employees a voice, a feeling of ownership. Taustin employs six full-time managers. And while the restaurant is not open year-round, they are paid yearround. But the managers, he said, are also expected to come to the table with ideas to keep the business moving ahead in a successful direction.

Restaurants generally pleased with season He gives two examples of cost savings that restaurants should consider. When the recession hit the United States, not to mention Ocean City, he charged his management team with task of cutting costs. He said his managers found ways to cut utility bills by over $30,000, as well as linens by $11,000. To be successful, especially in a seasonal business, accountability is the bottom line. “Back then we started looking at everything we did and we asked ourselves where we could be smarter,” he said. “I’m so proud of the people here. They take it to another level. All of our employees ask, ‘How can I make the experience better?’” Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association said that for many restaurants, the season has been a success. Based on food and beverage tax numbers alone, the resort for June was ahead of June 2013. She expects to see higher numbers for July and August. Jones is also a realist because she sees the numbers and talks to the owners. She said while the success far exceeds the failure, the town still lost 31 established hotels, motels and restaurants to condominium development in the early to mid-2000s. It’s important to realize that a restaurant could be a donut shop or a sit-down eatery with tablecloths.

Jones agreed with Taustin when she talked about the expected opening of three chain motels, a Residence Inn, a Fairfield Inn and a Comfort Suites between here and West Ocean City. “Once you get chain hotels, you can get chain restaurants,” she said almost with a sigh. For this summer, she called June “scary slow, but things have picked back up. For the most part, people are happy.” Jones said it is becoming more and more important for restaurants to not only look good and clean in person, but to also look great on their website. “Without a good mobile website, a restaurant could be left in the dust,” she said. She added that some restaurant owners aren’t keeping the exteriors of their buildings clean enough. Customers will keep on moving if that is the case. Also, she added, it is important to make a good first impression by ensuring good “curb appeal of one’s business.” Especially on weekends, long lines can turn customers off. Taustin again comes to mind, because of the sheer numbers of seats he has in Embers. There are about 200 restaurants licensed for business in Ocean City. Sixty-five stay open all year. “You’ve got to step it up,” Jones said, talking about menus and food choices. “You need to be up with what

the 20-55-year-olds want.” Liver and onions in most cases won’t cut it. One area restaurant owner, who asked to remain nameless, was more analytical about his business, which also is having a good, profitable season. The restaurant’s gross revenue has been down about 13 percent from May 1 through mid-August when compared to the same time last year. However, his profits are much higher this year, he said, so “I have nothing to complain about. That said, though, customer count and gross revenue are down substantially, though it’s hard to compare our first months of the season with our present one since we had the new kid on the block momentum going for us last year.” He added that business in general in Ocean City is tough to get a handle on. “There seems to be little rhyme or reason to it, other than you know that August, absent a major weather event, will be the best month.” The owner said that the past two weeks, like last year, were very strong. “June, on the other hand,” he said, “is just horrible. Your staff is in place because you have to start hiring by then to be competitive, but there is no Monday through Friday business to speak of, so it’s tough to find adequate hours for your staff during that month.

“It’s really a weekend business environment in Ocean City all year long, except for July and August, and even then quite honestly, the middle of the week can be quite soft during the middle weeks in July. The only really sustained business is from the last week of July through Labor Day.” He added: “I’m not sure given all of the restaurants and hotels in the city that just trying to exist the other 10 months of the year is worth the business that comes in July and August. I’ll stay in business, and again, it’s nicely profitable for us, but it’s hard to staff employees and stock inventory when all of your business, all year long, is always done in such a concentrated time frame.” Maddy Carder owns BJ’s on the Water with her husband Billy. The popular restaurant is located on 75th Street. Most days she is the first one in her restaurant early in the morning and the last one to leave after closing time. On a sunny afternoon, the restaurant is buzzing. Dynamic views of the bay accent the eatery’s friendly, warm interior. She talks first about how the restaurant business used to be during the 2002-06 building boom, and how real estate brought customers into her restaurant. Older buildings were torn down, replaced with bigger and better See RESTAURANTS Page 102

Restaurants work to build customer loyalty Continued from Page 101 structures, she said. The resort had become more of a year-round place to live than before. But then came 2007, the recession. “It was like almost overnight,” she said. “It started to the west of us. Then it came here, and we are still feeling its effects. We had constant customers lined up at the bar every lunch.” But then, she said the off-season thinned out. From October to May, Carder said that servers, bartenders, managers and even owners are basically just trading money as they support one another waiting for the season to come back. The summer has been a good one for BJ’s, she said, but added that it’s also been a “very strange” summer. “It’s unpredictable,” she said. “One day you are doing an unbelievable business. You prepare yourself for the next day (and) it doesn’t happen.” “Saturdays and Sundays are our busiest days. Our summer time business is good, but it’s off, and the economy is not helping us. We live in a state that is not friendly for small business. Also, we have more restaurants in Ocean City than before. I’m not saying that isn’t good,” she said. Then there’s the issue presented by the hotel/motel owners interviewed. It’s called the Internet and social media. “You never read about anything

good, only the bad,” Carder said. “People are venting.” Instead of telling a manager or talking to a waitress if something is not pleasing, customers seem to be more apt to telling everyone remotely, she said. “They’re playing with their phones,” she said of some customers. “We have someone at the table waiting on them — let us enhance your experience. We are about great service to our customers. “We have to have our customers come back,” she said, in reference to customers all over the world resorting to sometimes damaging critiques via the social network. Carder employs 150 during the summer and about 60 during the offseason. Her care and hard work was easily one of the reasons her restaurant was inducted into the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s Hall of Fame last spring. “All my life I was taught that I’d some day reap rewards for working so hard,” she said. “Now I don’t expect it. The small business person is being penalized for employing people. A small business depends on customers to come through the door. There are businesses shutting down all around the state. The struggles all the mom and pop stores had is often for naught. “I think we need to focus not on the

good old days but on the good new days. I am open to make sure everyone who works for me has a job.” Shawn Harman is the owner of Fish Tales and the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s 2013 Restaurateur of the Year. On a bright, sunny weekday afternoon, he points to an outside area of the restaurant. He tells his visitor that Shawn Harman in about 30 minutes a line is going to form. A half-hour later, like he said, families with little children, single adults, senior citizens, everyone seemed to be getting into that early line for dinner. It wasn’t quite 5 p.m. Fish Tales, on 21st Street bayside, has the beach amenities that Jones talked about. It’s also accessible by boat. Fish Tales is child-friendly with an enclosed pirate ship play space. When you are there, there’s no hurry to leave. In its 19th season, Harman said his business is like everyone else’s when it comes to weather’s impact. This particular season with its high number of sunny days has made it “a good season,” he said. He added that a restaurant has to be ready to serve its customers, but also to learn from listening to what

customers want. “You’ve got to be ready to make the donuts,” he said with a smile. If a restaurant wants to be really busy, he added, then it has to be ready to be really busy. “Really busy” also means his Fish Tales can handle large parties of 14-16 or more. “Some people will tell you it’s been a horrible year,” he said. “I’m telling you it’s been a good year. People want to be able to enjoy (themselves). We make sure we know what they want. You can see that I’m packed.” And he was. Still, the restaurant owner who wanted to be nameless said “it is actually cheaper, including airfare, to go to places like the Bahamas and the other winter islands in the summer. It is expensive to come to Ocean City for a week in the summer. “That, and too many restaurants and hotels are probably hurting the city the most. It’s just the free market at work, but for the same amount of visitors to the city, that number having stayed constant for the past 30 years or more, there are now 33-50 percent more restaurants or more, vying for the dollars of those visitors. “So, everyone isn’t going to do the business that they used to do.” Next: interviews with local bankers.

Page 104 ‘Results may vary,’ solves it all

OUR OPINION

Just ban it, and move on already

The biggest question about the Ocean City Council’s semiban on smoking on the Boardwalk and the beach is not whether it’s the right thing to do, but whether it’s anything at all. You either do it or you don’t, rather than stake out some nebulous middle ground that won’t satisfy anyone. Although the City Council on Tuesday heard that a similar prohibition in Rehoboth Beach has been successful, that is beside the point. The two towns aren’t comparable. Ocean City’s Boardwalk is twice as long, it has five times the summer population and its beach is 10 times longer. The visitor demographics of these communities also are much different. In addition, while Rehoboth Beach officials say their ban is mostly self-enforcing, that approach might not work as well here, depending on the time of day (or night) and the location. Rehoboth Beach police wrote 300 smoking-related citations last year, so based on the percentages alone police here could issue at least 1,500 next year. Given that federal statistics show that only about 18 percent of the adult population smokes, it’s unlikely that great congregations of smokers will convene anywhere. There simply aren’t enough smokers anymore to congregate. Besides, given the small number of smokers as compared to nonsmokers, any ban these days is more about public relations and image than anything else. If there are going to be problems anyway, the council might as well make that nonsmoking 82 percent happy as opposed to trying to accommodate everyone and accomplishing little. Because of the inevitable enforcement issues and the demographic differences between here and coastal Delaware, the council should just ban smoking in these two locations, at least during the warmer months, and move on to more important matters.

THE PUBLIC EYE

Charlie never lost his Faith EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

By Phil Jacobs

Mayor Rick Meehan has given out many proclamations and keys to the city to retiring municipal employees over the years. With each civil servant comes a great story. But arguably few could top what we learned about Charles L. Bunting, better known as Charlie, who was retiring from the city. Let’s just say Charlie is a man of Faith, with a capital “F.” Here’s the work-related information. Charlie has been with the town for 30 years starting with the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Division for the first 16 years. He then moved over to the Public Works Maintenance Dept. in July 2001. Charlie, over his career, probably operated every and any possible maintenance vehicle from beach tractors and sanitizers to street brooms, bucket trucks, snow plows and yes fire trucks. Basically, he has seen and done it all while serving the city’s residents, vacationers and visitors over his long career. Now he wants to spend time with family, further education and even some travel. It’s going to be difficult to keep him away from the Fire House, which he loves so much. He is a Gold Badge member of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. He can tell you stories about how when Hurricane Gloria hit the resort in the mid-1980s, a fire ignited at an area hotel. The resort was evacuating. But Charlie and the fire company stayed and put out the fire. Then there were his parents. Both ill, Charlie would come home from a day’s work or responding to a fire, and take care of his mom Evelyn and dad William. So before going further, we have to talk about the girl across the street on Lake Place

in West Ocean City. Charlie is standing behind her in a kindergarten graduation photograph. When they graduated Stephen Decatur High School, he walked with her down the aisle to get their diplomas. His mother was a business education and math teacher at Decatur who taught Charlie and the girl across the street. Evelyn even taught the girl’s parents. So after losing his sister Elaine and mother last year, Charlie decided it was time to get serious about the little girl across the street. That would be Faith. Neither one of them married until they married one another on May 11, 2013. Charlie was 61, Faith was 60. Faith took care of her parents as well as managing several area pharmacies. On Tuesday she looked on with pride as her husband received accolades from the Mayor, City Council, Charlie’s work supervisors and colleagues. “I’ve always been proud of him,” Faith said. “He is a good man.” Charlie and Faith are going to take a little time off for vacation, and when they return, he’ll resume is VFD duties. With all he’d been through taking care of his parents and working tirelessly for the city, Charlie always kept the Faith. Then he married her. Way to go Charlie! But what I guess gave this sweet story a little more meaning was that Charlie was being honored at City Hall. He knew Faith from home but also in terms of school. Which, by the way was located exactly where he was the center of attention for the Mayor, City Council and everyone else. You see the City Hall building was once the Ocean City School. Charie and Faith were there through sixth grade. Now they return to the building as husband, wife and friends.

My favorite disclaimer of all time is the one that appears at the ends of ads and commercials for By the assorted remedies for Stewart what ails us. Dobson This short but powerful sentence is especially prevalent in the world of pills, programs and supplements that guarantee to make us happier and healthier, and to improve our performance is various significant areas. “You can lose 50 pounds! Guaranteed!” the ad proclaims, followed by, in much smaller type, “(Results may vary.)” For whatever reason, people tend to overlook these three little words, while they do subscribe to the rest of these snake oil promises. To me that suggests that this small but potent advisory might be put to good use in other of circumstances: “I swear that I’m just stopping off for one … (results may vary).” Or, “I’ll be home by 11, I promise … (results may vary).” And then there’s, “Sure, I’ll help clean up … (results may vary).” The way I see, that’s just being honest. Since things don’t always work out the way we intended, we might as well accept that and offer a disclaimer just in case. “Control of Congress will be at stake on Nov. 4, when the voting public goes to the polls in the 2014 mid-term elections. Candidates from the two major parties have pledged to be more/less flexible on immigration and more/less supportive of public health care, while contenders across the spectrum have assured the public that they will do more to boost the economy … (results may vary).”

Letters Reason for Concern over Common Core

Editor, I’ve been hearing a lot about the new school curriculum called Common Core and the newer course program, APUSH. Being an “old man in my 70’s” I haven’t been too concerned about the issue until I started to think about my grandchild and my possible future grandchildren, that I won’t be around to watch grow old, as to the effect it might have on their education. What I found out, so far, is that the standards for Common Core were developed by three private organization in Washington D.C.: The National Governors Association (NGA), the Council for Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and The Progressive Education Company called Achieve Inc. All three organizations were privately funded by the Gates Foundation and none of these groups are accountable to parents, teachers, students or taxpayers. Also, there is no official information about who selected the individuals to write the Common Core standards but the official known architect was David Coleman. None of the writers of the standards for math and English Language Arts ever taught math, English or reading at the K-12 levels. Interestingly, also, none of the Standard Development work groups ever included any members who were high school English and mathematics teachers, English professors, scientist, engineers, parents, state legislators, early childhood educators, and any state or local school board members. This information alone causes one to question “How such a program

to the editor

could possibly benefit our children without including the input from some of these specialized people?” Yet, I now know, 48 state Boards of Education adopted the unproven, untested standards sight unseen based on the U.S. Department of Education promise of federal funds and relief from federal No Child Left Behind restrictions. With Mr. Coleman’s success with implementation of Common Core he has now turned his attention to a new program called APUSH (Advanced Placement [AP] US History) exams. Who is this Mr. Coleman and why should he have such control of our educational system? To begin with he and a Mr. Jason Zimba are the head of Student Achievement Partners, an organization that has played a leading role in implementation of Common Core standards. Prior to this partnership both men were co-founders of the Grow Network, now owned by McGraw Hill company. Grow Network began as a pilot program in New York in 2000 and less than a year later the Chicago Public Education Fund negotiated a contract with the Network for the Chicago Public Schools. The Chicago Public Education Fund was created in 1998 by the Chicago Ammenberg Challenge (CAC) whose board chairman was Barack Obama and the co-chairman was Bill Ayers. Although the CAC closed shop in 2001 its work continues through the Theodore Sizer’s Coalition of Essential Schools, a movement that indoctrinates students with a Marxist-Communist political, moral and social ideology. Understanding the purpose of this Coalition I have to ask another question: Do teachers want to tie themselves to such a concept? Teachers hold

CORRECTION Last week’s editorial on the debate over restricting short-term rentals in single-family home zoning districts erroneously singled out Condominium Realty in Ocean City as one of the companies flagrantly disregarding the restrictions already present in the zoning code. The implication of the editorial was that Condominium Realty was knowingly packing single-family weekly rentals far beyond what is allowed and without regard to the consequences. This is wrong on several counts. Condominium Realty is not a rental company, but is exclusively a real estate sales brokerage. It’s principal, broker Mark Fritschle, is one of three investors in Central Reservations, a separate corporate entity that does handle rentals, but neither he nor Condominium Realty are involved in its management. It also should not have been said, as the editorial did, that the rental company is “flagrantly violating the law,”

since it suggests that its management was fully aware of the current zoning restrictions regarding the number of unrelated people allowed to occupy any rental unit is a single-family district. That was not the case. Fritschle said Central Reservations personnel asked city government planning officials about permitted occupancy levels before booking any rentals in the neighborhood referred to in the editorial. He said the city staff advised Central Reservations on the maximum occupancy allowed in the residence and that the rental company proceeded accordingly. He added that Central Reservations does have a policy of renting to families, not groups of unrelated people. Fritschle also said that Central Reservations has no lawyer and that its managing partner, Marlene Bradford, has responded to inquiries from reporters and will continue to do so. Ocean City Today apologizes for publishing the erroneous material.

in their hands the responsibility to teach and form young minds. Are you going to follow the Coalitions concept or will you base your teaching efforts on our Constitution? I can’t answer that question only you can based on your core beliefs. I can only hope that you’ll make the proper decision. Paul St. Andre Ocean City

Why can’t OC have laws against pole dancing?

Editor, After two news cycles on WBOC TV and numerous calls to City Hall, questions still remain unanswered by the Town of Ocean City. Obviously, this was a planned event. Ms. Plymale, left wearing a T-shirt proclaiming “Ocean City’s First Pole Dancer.” You don’t find a T-shirt like that randomly on the Boardwalk. She got the attention she was seeking. Who planned this? This wasn’t done on a whim. It took planning, and let’s face it, the person went to a strip club in D.C. where she works and either gave her the idea, and or paid her for it. Why can’t Ocean City have laws against this as well as other forms of “arts” on the Boardwalk? Other towns don’t have this problem. Why do we? I’m tired of people saying “Well, this is Ocean City.” There are year-round residences here. How would the visitors like it if we came to their town, and park on their lawns, throw-up in their gardens, relieve themselves behind their houses? Grow up people. This is a town, not a free for all. Have some respect. The city solicitor, the City Council, you couldn’t find to ask for a comment? Mayor [Rick] Meehan gave a two-sentence statement claiming “Our hands are tied.” This doesn’t rectify the problem. Isn’t being available part of your jobs? Usually you can’t view any social media without a City Council member posting anything from dog pictures to what they are doing. This past week not one council person was online. This is not an answer. I think the mayor, city solicitor and Council need to have a town meeting with the residents of Ocean City and explain not only to themselves, but the direction they are taking Ocean City. If the group wants to move toward an “Anything goes atmosphere,” and the residents agree‚Ķso be it. If the town residents want the town to go in a different direction‚Ķthen throw them all out of office. I know I am tired of Ocean City being the laughing stock of the state. The so called “artists,” really inane TV commercials, out of control people, and strippers (yes, she is a stripper. She works in a D.C. strip club). I think we as a town have had enough. Remember mayor and Council....you reap what you sow. Laura Gulyas Ocean City
