Collective bargaining issue becomes council session political fodder ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Ocean City residents and visitors lounge on the beach and take a dip in the water to cool off Sept. 2, during the Labor Day holiday weekend. According to Demoflush statistics, which uses wastewater flows to estimate the city’s population, 277,303 people were in Ocean City over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday average), compared to the same weekend in 2011, when approximately 292,911 visited.

LAST HURRAH

Traditional summer season ends with a solid bang for business LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) Despite a slightly smaller crowd in Ocean City for the Labor Day holiday weekend as compared to last year, many businesses still fared well.

“Labor Day Saturday was fabulous, with many of our members being sold out; how-

ever, there were plenty of openings on Sunday night,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel Restaurant Association.

“Restaurant-wise, I’ve gotten pretty good reports from the weekend — steady business.”

There are about 108 HotelMotel-Restaurant Association lodging members (hotels, motels and some apartments) with

approximately 9,500 rooms.

“Because schools are already in session, Labor Day weekend does not have the traffic it used to have as the ‘last hurrah’ to come to the beach,” Jones said.

The holiday weekend is “totally weather dependent,” she said, adding that the forecast may have caused some people to stay home.

(Sept. 7 2012) Election-year politicking seems to have again bled over from the campaign trail into City Hall itself, as then City Council spent most of Tuesday’s meeting in a heated argument over a surprise motion that —while ultimately failing to gain support – did at least force the city’s elected officials to make a bit more of an investment in their political poker hands.

At the end of an otherwise uneventful meeting, Councilman Joe Hall requested that the council discuss the topic of unionization of the city’s general employees. The question of whether to allow them collective bargaining will be on the ballot this November, after a group of city employees earlier this year petitioned the city to change its charter so that non-public safety employees could unionize. The city’s police and fire/EMS departments already have collective bargaining rights.

After accepting the petition, the council could have moved to make the charter change outright, but instead deferred to the voters by electing the option to have the change go to referendum.

“I don’t believe that the council should sit silent on this issue,” Hall said. “I do believe the relationship between management and its employees changed significantly when

the referendum was won by the FOP [the Fraternal Order of Police, which established the union for the Ocean City Police Department in 2002].

There is information in our history that indicates it had a significant effect on our budget … I don’t think it’s in the best interest of the taxpayer or property owners to expand collective bargaining rights.”

Hall then made a motion that the council resolve itself to oppose the collective bargaining expansion. Councilman Brent Ashley, who, along with Hall, had previously voiced his opposition to a union, seconded the motion.

But the idea was met with harsh skepticism from the rest of council.

“I am totally dumbfounded by this,” said Councilwoman Mary Knight. “I’ve intentionally been very quiet about collective bargaining. We had a choice, we could’ve said ‘yes, we’ll give it to you’ like with the IAFF [the International Association of Fire Fighters, whose union for the city’s fire and EMS department was granted by council without going to the voters in 2007], but we voted unanimously … to say ‘let’s go to referendum.”

“I find it extremely insulting to our taxpayers,” Knight continued, “to have a vote to say, ‘You all aren’t smart enough to make this decision, you have to depend on us.”

County school athletics already up to date on concussion, heat policies ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) Although a mandate from the Maryland state legislature has required school coaches to undergo an increased level of training for dealing with concussions and heat-related illness on the field, Worcester County school officials say they have already been in compliance for some time.

“We’ve been pretty proactive about it in Worcester County. We’ve been lucky to stay ahead of the Maryland General Assembly’s policy and legislation,” said the district’s most senior athletic supervisor, Pocomoke High School Athletics Director David Byrd.

Emergency regulations passed by the state this year will impose preliminary guidelines for athletic safety, which will be reviewed and more specific policies implemented for the 2013-2014 school year.

“We’re getting inundated with legislation that requires us to be better prepared,” Byrd said, citing heat and concussion awareness, as well as new anaphylactic shock policies that will see Worcester schools retain their own EpiPens to treat students suffering from allergies. “Pretty soon, I’m going to have a doctor’s degree, with a teacher’s pay,” Byrd said.

Byrd said that, for the past three years, Worcester coaches have followed guidelines from the Maryland Post-Secondary Athletic Association that suggest coaches

complete an online concussion management course and keep certificates of completion on record at their schools. Byrd also distributes information sheets to parents and athletes.

Players of concussion-prone sports are also given baseline tests, “so that we know where they are to begin with” and can better judge if players seem to have been adversely affected, Byrd said. As a general rule, the saying amongst coaches is “when in doubt, sit them out.”

The increased level of concern follows heightened recognition of what has hap-

pened in the NFL, where players have been seriously injured or killed by unknown concussions and untreated heat exhaustion.

“You best believe that that information and policies will trickle down,” Byrd said.

He also noted that the county is moving towards increased training for classroom teachers as well.

“Same thing that could happen in the school day if a kid fell back in their desk and hit their head,” Byrd said.

As for heat-related problems, Byrd said that coaches follow a policy of slowing in-

troducing players to workouts in the heat.

“We use a gradual buildup from the first day of practice to the seventh day of practice,” Byrd said. “For instance, especially with football pads, you start out wearing just some equipment and build your way up.”

Byrd also stressed that the ability of the county to hire athletic trainers, certified in various fields of sports medicine and physical therapy, has had a major impact.

“We’re pretty lucky that we have trainers here … it’s a big asset to Worcester,” Byrd said.

Thousands of Md. drivers continue to violate bus stop laws More than 4,600 violations recorded on a single day last spring; down from ’11 (Sept. 7, 2012) Drivers continue to bypass the stop arms on school buses at a frightening rate, a new Maryland State Department of Education-sponsored survey has revealed.

Stop arms swing out from a bus and lights flash whenever it is making an onroadway student pick-up. A total of 4,657 violations of school bus stop arms were recorded on a single day last spring. That is a lower rate than the initial survey com-

pleted in 2011, when more than 7,000 violations were recorded. But the rate of violation remains too high for the comfort of safety and education advocates.

“Schools are opening, and it is important to understand that it is illegal to pass a bus with its stop arm extended and its lights flashing,” State Superintendent of Schools Lillian M. Lowery said. “There are no excuses for this violation. We need to keep Maryland school children safe.”

MSDE coordinated the survey in April along with school transportation directors in all 24 systems. It is considered a snapshot of illegal activity on the roads. More than 63 percent of the Maryland school bus drivers took part in the survey, com-

pared to 65 percent completing the survey last year.

Large systems noted the most violators. Montgomery County school bus drivers tallied the most — 1,494 drivers ignoring the stop arm — followed by Baltimore County (1,143). Kent County was the State’s only system where drivers did not find a violation.

The survey was undertaken at the behest of a number of members of the Maryland General Assembly, which has been monitoring school bus safety.

The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services is coordinating surveys of this type in all 50 states.

OCEAN CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept.7, 2012) The Ocean City Council discussed the following during its Sept. 4 session at City Hall:

Elevator company’s bid now accepted The council moved to undo a previous motion, made at last week’s work session that disqualified a contract bid from the ThyssenKrupp elevator company because its proposal was received after the city’s 11 a.m. deadline.

Although the council typically moves to reject late bids, City Manager David Recor said Monday that he had been able to verify that the tardiness of the ThyssenKrupp bid was due to last Tuesday’s freak tarpaulin malfunction that caused an hours-long traffic jam on both sides of the bay bridge.

“That’s kind of an extenuating circumstance for me,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, who motioned to accept the bid.

However, Councilman Joe Hall said, as he has before, that bids are open for several weeks and “it doesn’t mean it has to be last minute – they can get it in earlier.”

But the standard practice in the construction and maintenance industries, explained Public Works Director Hal Adkins, is to continue to try to cut costs against competitors right until the last minute.

“On a big bid, I’ve seen them actually on their cell phones in the lobby, waiting for their boss to tell them what number to write down,” Adkins said.

Councilwoman Mary Knight said that she had been on the other side of the coin in the private sector.

“There’s a lot of factors as to why you might get that thing in at five minutes to 11,” she said.

“It’s not because the person who’s responding is lazy; there are extenuating circumstances that they’re not in control of that proposal. I remember walking in a minute before 11 with 300 pages.”

Knight and Pillas, along with Council President Jim Hall and Secretary Lloyd Martin, voted to accept the late bid, while Joe Hall and fellow Councilmen Brent Ashley and Doug Cymek were opposed.

Boat ramp designs sought City Engineer Terry McGean received unanimous approval to solicit proposals from contractors for the design of the city’s new boat ramp to be built at 64th Street.

McGean proposed the facility last year as a fix for the city’s otherwise-anemic boat launch at 94th Street, a small property in a residential area that has no room for trailer parking. Not only would the new ramp have extensive parking, it would also be built on dredged land that could hold larger vessels.

The cost of the project was estimated at $4.15 million, although that number includes the cost of the land, which the city already acquired in 2010. The rest of the project will be funded through a $750,000 bond sale by the city, as well as by $1 million from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, which the city learned earlier this year would be given in response to a grant request that McGean had submitted to the state.

Walker Parking Consultants chosen Council approved City Engineer Terry McGean’s selection of Walker Parking Consultants as the firm that will help the city review and replace the control and payment system at the inlet lot. McGean had previously expressed that a myriad of new parking technologies meant that the city could use some outside help in figuring out the best way to re-vamp its aging tollbooth system.

Councilman Joe Hall brought up the oftensuggested idea that the booths be moved to the west in order to provide a few more spaces for the lot, but McGean said this could cause problems with the line of cars waiting to enter the lot. “ ”We will have them [Walker] look at the entrance configuration, although this is not in-

tended to be a full parking lot redesign,” McGean said. “Remember, if you do that, you have to push back the queuing … and if you move the exit to the west, you have four lanes that have to merge into two [on Baltimore Avenue] in less space. But I’m not saying it can’t be done.”

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas also said that private lots on Baltimore Avenue had problems with inlet lot inflow and outflow blocking their own facilities, which could be made worse if the entrance and exit were moved.

Councilman Brent Ashley also asked if parking lot employees would be included in the consultants’ discussion, as he felt they could offer considerable insight.

“We do that as a matter of course,” McGean replied. “I’ve worked with [Deputy Public Works Director] Dick Malone on this, and we will be talking with him and his employees.”

Henna causes concern; store owner references Santa Monica suit ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) First spray paint, then hair ornaments and now the Boardwalk’s latest inflammatory street art du jour – henna.

Boardwalk storeowner Yadigar Karsli appeared before City Council at Tuesday’s session to air his concerns regarding street artists who directly compete with his establishment by offering the same henna tattoos that his store does, but billing them as artwork so as to avoid actually having to report their work as a business.

“It looks like, to me, the city doesn’t do anything about this subject and they are not protecting Boardwalk businesses,”

Karsli complained. “They [the street performers] put out tents, electric generators, some even take credit cards.”

Karsli also warned city officials that the henna tattoo business is tightly regulated for health reasons, since many tattoos billed as being done with the traditional Indian dye are actually done with other chemicals that can cause allergic reactions.

“I have to ask each customer before if they have skin allergies … and I have to keep the records for 15 days,” Karsli said.

“They [the street artists] have no regulations, they don’t have a permit and you don’t know who is doing it.”

In California, Karsli noted, the city of Santa Monica was sued for negligence after several tourists came down with serious

skin conditions after getting henna tattoos from street vendors on the city-owned pier.

“Eventually they’re going to sue the city [Ocean City], just like Santa Monica,” Karsli said.

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, herself owner of a Boardwalk retail store, said there had been issues some years ago with airbrushes and magic markers being used for skin art, and asked if the city had the ability to ban non-henna “henna” tattoos on health grounds.

City Solicitor Guy Ayres said he plans to meet with the Ocean City Police Department soon “to go over each activity that was observed over the summer.”

City officials have been wary of overregulating Boardwalk street performers since a

recent lawsuit. Last June, after the council passed an emergency ordinance requiring Boardwalk performers to register daily at City Hall, spray paint artist Mark Chase filed suit in U.S. District Court claiming that his First Amendment rights had been violated.

This past September, an injunction was granted that sided largely with Chase in his right to produce and sell “expressive materials,” although it did allow the city to restrict artists from setting up shops in certain locations that posed an emergency access issue.

“What you have to understand, and what this gentleman has to understand,” Ayres said to council Tuesday, “is that just because a municipality in California passed an ordinance, doesn’t mean that it’ll hold up in court, there or here.”

Casting call for ‘Ping Pong Summer’roles Sept. 7 ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

Susan Sarandon

(Sept. 7, 2012) Production staff for the upcoming independent film “Ping Pong Summer,” to be filmed in Ocean City beginning this month, will hold a casting call Friday, Sept. 7.

The film is seeking one more actor for a main role, a Caucasian female between the ages of 15 and 18. A number of children and adults of all ages are also needed for small, specific roles, which may or may not involve a brief amount of dialogue — such

positions are known as “day players.”

Anyone interested in a role should e-mail pingpoingsummercasting@gmail.com or call 410-213-1859 to reserve a time. Auditions will be held from 4-9 p.m. on Friday in the Marlin Room of the Holiday Inn on 67th Street.

The film’s writer and director, Michael Tully, has previously expressed his desire to aid the film’s authenticity by filling the main youth roles with local, Maryland kids who reflect the kind of young people who could’ve been vacationing at the resort in 1985, when the film’s story is set.

Casting calls have been held previously throughout the state.

Several nationally-known actors, however, have already committed to playing the film’s adult characters. Most notable is Susan Sarandon, who is slated to appear alongside James Nesbitt, Amy Sedaris, Judah Friedlander, and several other Hollywood notables.

Last chance to register for fall Ocean City University classes (Sept. 7, 2012) The town of Ocean City is still accepting applications for the fall semester of Ocean City University. Residents and visitors can learn more about the town’s municipal government and the services it provides by attending a series of courses that offer citizens a diverse background on Ocean City. Classes are free and are offered in two semesters.

Classes are held on Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m., beginning Sept. 12. The 15-week course will last eight weeks in the fall and resume in January for an additional seven

weeks. To sign up for the fall semester, visit www.oceancitymd.gov or call Diana Chavis at 410-289-8887.

The goal of Ocean City University is to provide a better understanding of government’s role and relationship with citizens and continue to build the relationship between government and citizens to improve quality of life. In addition, the course aims to give citizens a sense of ownership in government actions and that informed citizens can make a difference in the community.

“Septien,” has previously admitted that Ping Pong Summer will be a significant departure for him. Describing the film as a “sincere coming-of-age comedy” about a listless young boy’s interest in table tennis and hip-hop, and his life-changing family vacation, Tully has drawn parallels between his script and the 1984 movie, “The Karate Kid,” which shares a similar young-underdog theme.

In early August, City Council reluctantly approved a grant of $100,000 to help with the film’s funding, on the recommendation of the city’s Tourism Advisory Board. The film’s producers had previously noted that

much of their budget had relied on subsidies from the Maryland Film Office, which ended up being unavailable. The Worcester County Commissioners matched the city’s contribution, and the film also sought funds from local investors as well. The movie’s overall budget is comparatively low, around $1.5 million, due largely to the willingness of several key actors, including Sarandon, to work for minimal pay on what was described as an independent “passion project.”

Extras, mainly for the film’s Boardwalk scenes, are also being sought. Those interested should e-mail pingpongsummerextras@gmail.com with contact info and a photo.

Sewer line to run from Ocean Downs beneath creek to Pines inconvenience to King Richard Road residents, but the “trenches will be closed every day,” Ross said. “We’ll do everything we can to make sure they can get in and out of their houses.”

The force main to the Ocean Pines collection system will provide capacity for the connections from the Greater Ocean Pines Sanitary Planning Area to the force main crossing Gum Point Road. This will provide a collection point for unconnected properties in the Greater Ocean Pines Sanitary Planning Area from Taylorville on Route 589 to the Gum Point Road properties to connect to public sewer.

Although William Rickman, owner of the Casino at Ocean Downs, might like the work to be done as soon as possible, it is not ready to start.

“It will be a few months until we get approvals,” Ross said.

Plans call for Rickman’s property to have an initial allocation of 63 units of wastewater treatment capacity. Those units would serve the existing facilities.

Rickman has asked for a maximum capacity of 333 units of treatment. With the additional units of capacity, such uses as the proposed bowling alley, movie theater, future potential expansion of the casino facilities and other potential improvements could be accommodated, Environmental Programs Director Robert Mitchell said.

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

(Sept. 7, 2012) The Casino at Ocean Downs and anything else built on the property will have its wastewater treated by the Ocean Pines wastewater treatment plant.

The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday agreed to create the Ocean Downs Sanitary Area so it can receive sewer service by contract from the Ocean Pines.

They also agreed to designate the parcel as being immediately eligible for sewer service.

Most of the Ocean Downs property is zoned for agriculture, but some is zoned for commercial uses. All its 166 acres will be served by the Ocean Pines wastewater treatment plant.

The property now has eight septic systems. Instead of using those septic systems, the wastewater will travel through a force main to be installed beneath Turville Creek.

It will exit at the county boat ramp on Gum Point Road and will continue in the county right-of-way to developer Marvin Steen’s property. It will enter Ocean Pines through an easement granted by Steen on his property to King Richard Road.

That road must be torn up to install the 6-inch diameter pipe, but the entire road will have an overlay at the completion of the work, said John Ross, deputy director of the Department of Public Works.

During construction, there will be some See PINES on Page 14

Inaugural walk in OC to benefit recovery club

FREE SKEE BALL

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

MANY PRIZES AND GAMES!

Join Us in Celebrating 39 Years!

(Sept. 7, 2012) Some of the Boardwalk’s walkers on Saturday, Sept. 8, will be walking for a special reason. They will be showing support and raising funds for the Atlantic Club, a nonprofit service organization housed in the Joan W. Jenkins Center on Route 50, between Ocean City and Berlin.

In conjunction with National Recovery Month, which takes place every September, the Atlantic Club has organized its inaugural Walk for Recovery, a 5-mile walk on the Boardwalk. It will be the first of its kind in the state of Maryland.

The walk will begin and end in front of the Life-Saving Station Museum, at the end of the Boardwalk near the inlet. Several of the walkers are expected to be Atlantic Club members, Sue Rodden, Atlantic Club manager, said Tuesday.

“We’ve had many say they’ll be there,” she said.

Registration for the walk will begin at 8

a.m. One hour later, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan will present a proclamation and some state officials are expected to speak before the walk starts at approximately 9:30 a.m.

Walkers do not have to complete the 5mile walk. They may walk all or just a portion of the boards, Rodden said.

“Donations and pledges are certainly appreciated,” committee Chairwoman Mary Myers said. Drawings will be held at the conclusion of the walk … many local businesses have donated gift certificates. We have a lot of prizes, some valued up to $300.”

Proceeds from the walk will be used for educational programs, raising awareness, helping to erase the stigma associated with addiction and events that benefit the recovering communities and their families.

The national theme for this year’s walk is “Join the Voices for Recovery; It’s Worth It,” emphasizing that while the road to recovery might be difficult, the benefits of preventing and overcoming addiction disorders are significant and valuable. People

in recovery can achieve healthy lifestyles and see improvements physically, emotionally and mentally. They are able to contribute in meaningful ways to their communities.

The Atlantic Club, located at 11827 Ocean Gateway, is a recovery club open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is not a shelter or a soup kitchen; it is a there for anyone who needs a place to go and talk to someone about addictions.

Twenty-four meetings are held each week. Group meetings are held for those addicted to alcohol, narcotics, prescription drugs and gambling. Meetings for Overeaters Anonymous will begin in October.

There are scheduled meetings, but anyone in need of someone to talk to may visit at any time day or night. Managers work shifts so someone is always on hand. Those without transportation may call the Atlantic Club at 410-213-1007 to talk.

“Anybody in any kind of recovery” is welcome to call, Rodden said.

In September 2007, a fire destroyed the WCDC buildings in Newark.

were excited about the new offerings for those who live with a disability, and asked WCDC Executive Director June Walker how they could help. Walker suggested they start an auxiliary to help provide items the facility would need in order to provide more and better services to its clients.

Cathy Gallagher, an Ocean Pines resident who recently retired after running a similar agency for 40 years, was elected president. Jennifer Creed of Berlin, whose son, Logan, attends WCDC, will serve as vice president. Secretary and treasurer positions will be filled at a future meeting.

The Friends of WCDC will meet the second Tuesday of each month at the center on Newark Road at 6 p.m. Membership is open to anyone interested in furthering the mission of WCDC as it seeks to provide a brighter future for those who live with a disability.

Little black flies unwelcome visitors to area; bother beachgoers Saturday’s insect influx made sitting on beach and boating uncomfortable NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) The Labor Day crowd might have been down slightly this past weekend, but if there was a Demoflush formula for biting flies, it might have shown that Saturday’s swarm was a record-breaker.

Saturday’s influx of biting flies just didn’t make it an uncomfortable day at the beach, on the water or inland, it made being outside close to intolerable.

“They were terrible,” said Dave Wilson,

More than 80 resort employees take part in COOP training (Sept. 7, 2012) Emergency Services Director Joseph Theobald and Emergency Management Planner Bob Rhode recently coordinated training exercises for more than 80 town of Ocean City employees.

Instructors from the Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute conducted the Continuity of Operations Plans training exercises, held Aug. 28-29.

Four identical tabletop exercises, all lasting four hours, were available with each session open to 25 participants. This training was made available to Ocean City employees, as well as representatives from outside agencies, and all costs were funded through an Emergency Preparedness Grant.

The development of these plans allows for continuation of government services for an extended period of time in the event of an emergency situation and are included as part of the town’s Emergency Operations Plan. Each department/division develops its individual plan, but all city entities coordinate efforts to accomplish a seamless transition to allow for all essential city functions to continue.

Additional COOP training and meetings are also conducted periodically during the year, as required by the state of Maryland. For additional information, contact Rhode at 410-723-6650 or brhode@oceancitymd.gov.

WORCESTER COUNTY BRIEFS Continued from Page 9 Donnie Drewer that advised them that the SHA had approved funding for significant upgrades to the Route 113 bridges over the Pocomoke River.

Drewer wrote that he knew the commissioners had been asking for those improvements for a number of years. Both bridge improvements should start by early fall 2013.

The planned improvements call for a complete deck replacement for the two northbound lanes and a latex overlay for the two southbound lanes. The estimated cost of $9 million to $10 million.

director of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program.

Wilson was on Ocean City’s beach on Saturday and “got absolutely murdered.

We couldn’t sit down because of the flies.

You couldn’t just sit on a chair. You’d get devoured. It was just terrible.”

Ocean City does not usually have problems with these little winged demons the way Assateague Island sometimes does, possibly because Assateague has more marsh areas on its west side. These marshes attract flies, Wilson said, and a west wind, which is what the area saw Saturday, will literally blow the flies from the marshes to the beach.

Once there, apparently, they are attracted by the prospect of a picnic on us and on our pets.

Ocean City, on the other hand, has beach replenishment sand, which contains organic material. That and the combination of Saturday’s west wind could have caused the massive fly-in, Wilson said.

“It’s pure speculation,” he said.

Flies were also a problem for fishermen and boaters.

“A lot of flies are capable of sitting on water. They don’t penetrate it,” Wilson said. “Some days, the flies are horrible offshore.”

Sue Foster, owner of Oyster Bay Tackle and Fenwick Tackle, said the flies were so bad that some fishermen characterized the hordes of them as “Biblical.” One online site for fisherman had more photos of flies than fish, she said.

Unlike the notorious saltmarsh greenhead flies, which can be slightly easier to swat, these were biting black flies that seem to be a little more, well, flighty. And

there were so many of them.

Foster sold out of insect repellent as did ACE Hardware, while unprotected people had two choices: suffer or go inside.

Because she was working in her shop, the biting flies did not bother Foster, but when she was walking her dog near her West Ocean City residence, things changed.

“I saw flies all over her,” Foster said of her pooch.

Like Wilson, Foster attributed the influx of black flies to the weather.

It’s all because of the west wind,” she said.

But Dana Price, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Salisbury University, speculated that there might have been more to it.

Price surmised that there might have been two generations of the biting black flies this summer and that, coupled with the large amount of rainfall in the area, could have caused many insects, including flies, ticks and chiggers, to come out.

Actuarial reports show pension plans doing well despite shuffle it in order to be able to provide its current employees with their full pensions.

This figure depends on a number of factors, all of which have to be estimated by the actuarial study – namely, when will employees retire and how long will they live after retirement.

The projected financial need also assumes that the city will continue to pay in its “normal costs:” the amount of money it routinely contributes for each employee alongside the employee’s own contribution out of his or her paycheck. The number also assumes that the city’s investment of its pension monies will continue to generate an average capital gain of 7.5 percent.

“It’s a moving target, so to speak, but they revise it every year … there isn’t any more than that you can do [to ensure fiscal security],” Bennett said. “We want to know the money that we need to have in the fund today so that all those employees can get 100 percent of what they need when they retire. It’s a matter of how much money you need in the account now to make sure they all get a pension at age 65, even if you don’t put anything else in other than the determined normal costs.”

Until the ratio reaches 100 percent, the city will continue to contribute additional money to the plan every year. But the funding ratio does not go steadily up, since changes in projected need cause actuarial increases or decreases. If employees retire early, generating more

ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) Although talked about at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting only in passing, the latest actuarial reports for the city’s pension funds indicate that the trusts are progressing as planned – although whether that plan is a good thing seems to remain a political issue.

“In our opinion, the Plan is operating on an actuarially sound basis,” concluded a letter from Cavanaugh Macdonald Consulting, the firm the city uses annually to re-valuate its pension plans. “Assuming that contributions to the Plan are made by the employer in future years at the amounts recommended on the basis of the successive actuarial valuations, the continued sufficiency of the Retirement Plan to provide the benefits prescribed by the Plan may be safely anticipated.”

The same conclusion was attached to both of the city’s pension plans – since 1991, the city’s public safety employees have had a separate fund from its general employees.

City Finance Administrator Martha Bennett told council that she was “very pleased” at the current level of funding the plan showed, at 82.4 percent for the general employee fund and 76.6 for the public safety fund.

Bennett later explained exactly what that means. The percentage of how funded the plan is reflects the amount of money that the city would need to have in

immediate need for money to pay their pension, an actuarial loss will result. Conversely, if employees die earlier than expected, cutting the need for further pension payments, an actuarial gain will result.

How well the plan’s investments do also make a difference, as Bennett noted that in the market heyday of the 1990s, the city’s plans were massively boosted, with the general employee’s plan being 103 percent funded through 1998 and 1999. However, the plan was as low as 57 percent funded in 2004, after the post9/11 stock decline and a change in the plan that saw employees contributing more of their pay – but getting more on retirement – necessitating the city to contribute more up front to close the gap.

This year, however, the plan saw considerable actuarial gains, which Bennett said were largely attributable to the fact that employees did not receive projected pay increases this year. Lower salaries means less liability for the city when employees retire and begin to collect a percentage of their salary in perpetuity.

Although the benefits have been reconfigured several times over the years, the current provision is that general employees contribute 5 percent of their pay to the pension plan and may retire after 30 years of service to receive 50 percent of their salary. For public safety employees, the service term is 25 years, and the benefit is 60 percent of salary, but they must contribute 8 percent of their pay

while they work.

Neither of Ocean City’s plans includes cost-of-living adjustments, meaning that employees who retired 30 years ago are still receiving a pension based off their 1982 wages.

“The plans that are in trouble across the country all have COLAs, ours does not,” Bennett explained. “So it’s actually very modest.” As an example, she noted that the general employee plan currently has 126 former employees receiving pensions, with an average annual payment of $13,618.

The city’s plans have undergone a considerable change since April 2011, when the City Council voted to close the plans and move all new employees over to 401(k)s and other individualized, selfcontributing funds.

The difference between the two, Bennett said, is not necessarily in how lucrative they are, but in who bears the risk. If a pension fund does badly on its investments, it is the city’s responsibility to close the gap with increased actuarial payments. If the employee makes his or her own investments in a personalized 401(k) or IRA, they bear the burden of any loss.

“As far as how the costs look over time, they’ve evaluated defined benefit plans and self-contribution plans,” Bennett said. “Historically, over time, both methods work … but the council decided to not bear the risk. They wanted the individual employee to bear the risk, not the city.”

Meehan holds Hall culpable for disgruntled employees Continued from Page 1

Knight’s reluctance was the fact that, regardless of what position elected officials do or do not take, they will still have to work with the result they get, even if it swings the way they wouldn’t have preferred.

“I’m going to remain silent on this,” Knight said, “because whatever the outcome, my vow is to look toward the future and work very hard so that it will be workable [either way].”

Council Secretary Lloyd Martin also pointed out that the union had gathered 1,579 valid signatures, more people than had turned out in total for the 2010 election, which Martin said pointed to a significant interest in a public decision on the topic.

“I don’t think it should be a political issue,” Martin said. “We have to live with whatever they [the voters] do. It may cost the taxpayers money and it may not.”

“Lloyd, I couldn’t agree more with you,” replied Council President Jim Hall.

“I think this is an individual decision by each council member … I would hope that my comrades here would withdraw the motion, I think it’s unfair to have the council decide as a group.”

“We certainly understand your view,” he continued to Ashley and Joe Hall, “but this is an individual decision and those who wish to share their view will … it’s inappropriate to bring it up here and try to jam a vote on the council.”

“I’m a taxpayer, I’m a voter and I’d like to know where my officials stand,”

PUB OPEN 11AM DINING ROOM 4PM

Ashley countered.

Councilman Doug Cymek reiterated Jim Hall’s point, however, that while a collective stance was unfounded, individual officials would still be answerable if the public asked.

“When the time comes, we all will have to have a prepared answer for that,” Cymek said.

But Cymek also seized on the opportunity to point out that it was Joe Hall who had ignited the most recent round of publicly voiced employee dissatisfaction.

“I find it ironic that … Joe is the one who started this back in early April,” Cymek said, referring to the incident in which city Parks and Recreation employee and activist Greg DeMarco lambasted council’s erstwhile majority for what he called a “vicious assault” on employee compensation.

“There are several reporters in the audience who will quote you verbatim what Mr. DeMarco said,” Cymek said to Joe Hall before reading several inflammatory pieces of DeMarco’s address.

Jim Hall, however, seemed to resent Cymek’s diversion into an attack on Joe Hall that, by association, also implicated the council president, Ashley, and Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, who had voted with Joe Hall to close out the city’s pension plan and individualize its retirement and health benefits.

“That’s just not true, Doug,” he said.

“We were told this [unionization of the general employees] was coming forward when the FOP came on board, and that’s

long before we were here as a majority,” Pillas said. “This started long before the four of us, and it started with Dennis [former City Manager Dennis Dare] and with not having a voice.”

Mayor Rick Meehan was also against making a group decision.

“I agree with the council president, trying to push this as a collective body when we can all state it just as well individually [is a bad idea],” he said.

Meehan also observed that if Ashley and Joe Hall were trying to elicit a prounion response from the rest of council, it was not necessarily his position. “I’m not telling you that collective bargaining is the best way to go … we can support them [the employees] in other ways. I’m not a big advocate of unions, if that’s your question.”

But Meehan also took the opportunity to assert passionately that employee dissatisfaction was the immediate result of recent council action. “The employees lost the trust and confidence in this council, that’s what pushed them over the edge.

You can shake your head all you want,” he said, referring to Ashley’s obvious disagreement, “but that’s what did it.”

“That’s your opinion,” Ashley interjected.

“You can disagree all you want, but that’s the fact,” Meehan said, slamming his fist on the table for emphasis.

Ashley and Joe Hall ultimately declined to withdraw the motion, but when the vote was taken, they were the only two in favor.

MAPP project cancelled; DP&L makes other plans for reliability ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) Pepco Holdings, the corporation that owns Delmarva Power and Light, has announced that its oft-delayed MAPP power distribution project has been taken off the table.

According to emails from Pepco officials, the board of PJM Interconnection has voted to remove the project from any of its future planning. PJM is a corporatesponsored organization that coordinates and oversees the construction of electrical grids between different power companies in 13 states in the Eastern U.S. “We’re disappointed … we think the project would’ve helped reliability in the region,” DP&L representative Matt Likovich said. “But we’re going to live with the decision and continue to upgrade out transmission and distribution systems.

The Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) was first proposed as early as 2006, and was first introduced to Ocean City at a meeting between city officials and DP&L representatives in March of 2009.

By that time, however, the economic downturn had already begun to cause delays and hold-ups in the project.

“It was a sluggish economy,” Likovich said of PJM’s reasons for axing the project.

“There was also an increase in customer demand response programs, and an increase in the number of power plants coming online in the next three years.”

Likovich noted that the recent implementation of EmPOWER Maryland program – an initiative by Gov. Martin O’Malley to reduce the state’s energy consumption 15 percent by 2015 – has caused the company to concentrate less on boosting delivery and more on reducing demand.

As an example, he said, DP&L now of-

fers customers significant discounts on their bills if they allow the company to install thermostat regulators that cycle off certain home appliances, such as air conditioners, during peak usage times.

MAPP would’ve consisted of a distribution line stretching from the Possum Point generator in northern Virginia, across the water to the Delmarva Peninsula, up through the Eastern Shore and connecting with nuclear power plants in New Jersey.

Pepco officials touted the project as a means to vastly improve electrical reliability and consistency in the region, and particularly in Ocean City, given that its tourist population causes difficult-to-manage usage spikes and dips. Currently, all of the island’s power comes from the north through Delaware. DP&L has no other lines running in from Virginia or across the Chesapeake.

“It would’ve created a little more of a safety cushion if there was ever a problem with the high-voltage lines coming in from the north,” Likovich said. “There would be more backbone to the system … something from the west to compliment what we have coming in from the north.”

In 2009, the project was estimated at $1.2 billion and could have been operational by 2014.

News of the project’s demise comes on the heels of another one of DP&L’s reliability improvements facing challenges, albeit more locally. Two weeks ago, DP&L representatives appeared before the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission to appeal for a conditional use of their property that encompasses the block between 137th and 138th streets and Derrickson and Sinepuxent avenues.

Half the property has contained a power substation since 1974 and since then Delmarva Power bought and demolished the four homes on the other half of the block to make way for an expansion of the station.

DP&L public affairs head Jim Smith previously had explained that the expansion was needed to install a Static Var Compensator at the facility, which he described as a “booster pump” that would help prevent voltage fluctuations that can damage equipment.

“That’s another project that comes under the heading of enhancing reliability,” Likovich said. “There are a number of little projects like that, but nothing else to the magnitude of what MAPP would’ve been.”

However, several North Ocean City residents lobbied against the expansion, saying that DP&L had not been completely forthright in investigating, amongst other things, the effect of increased electromagnetic field levels that would result from the larger station. The City Council ultimately remanded DP&L’s application for a conditional use back to P&Z for further inquiry.

Even without MAPP, and with the delay in the SVC project, Likovich said DP&L was still well-positioned and “financially committed” to continuing upgrades.

“As of now, what we plan to do in the years ahead should be sufficient to meet the demand,” he said. “If things change, PJM would have to re-evaluate.”

“We’ll be okay service-wise, we just though that the MAPP project was broadbased and would’ve had tremendous benefit.”

September is disaster prep month (Sept. 7, 2012) As hurricane season shifts into high gear, the Maryland Insurance Administration reminds consumers that September is Disaster Preparedness Month.

Do you know what your homeowners insurance policy covers if your property is damaged?

After Hurricane Irene in August 2011, insurance carriers paid more than $400 million as a result of filed claims in Maryland. When the skies cleared, many Marylanders who filed claims learned that special deductibles applied. These deductibles could add thousands of dollars to the policyholder’s share of repair costs. When Trop-

ical Storm Isabel moved through the state in 2003, people realized too late that damage from flooding is not covered under most homeowners insurance policies. Flood insurance is available through the National Flood Insurance Program and some private insurers. Generally, there is a 30-day waiting period before new policies take effect.

For Disaster Preparedness Month in September, Insurance Commissioner Therese M. Goldsmith encourages all Marylanders to read their insurance policies carefully. The Maryland Insurance Administration offers guides and general information about insurSee MIA on Page 19

MIA recommends all owners check home insurance

OC bus driver uninjured in assault by passenger ZACK HOOPES, NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writers (Sept. 7, 2012) The assault of a city bus driver in the wee hours of the morning on Memorial Day could’ve become a political issue, but it appears that the driver is okay, and the issue of bus safety may be dropped until after the election season.

Councilman Joe Hall sent an email to his colleagues, as well as City Manager David Recor, on Monday morning alerting them to an assault that had been reported on a city bus overnight. Hall requested an update on the situation, asking if any of the city’s previously discussed bus safety measures, such as periodic police presence and the availability to transportation supervisors to assist with crowd control issues, were available at the time of the incident.

According to police reports, the attack occurred at 2:40 a.m. on Sept. 3, 2012. A visibly intoxicated person, identified only

ance coverage at community outreach events and online. Your insurance agent or insurance company can help to explain specifically what is covered by your policy and what is not.

Some ways to prepare for disaster include: Inventory your home. Whenever possible, take photos or videos to support any claim you may need to file later.

Smartphone users can download a free home inventory application, myHOME Scr.APP.book, from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Determine if you home is insured to its full replacement cost.

Keep your policy information in a waterproof, fireproof safe or off-site, such as in a safe deposit box, or scan it and save it to a flash drive that you keep in an emergency kit.

Consider purchasing flood insurance. Coverage is as low as $129 a year.

(Sept. 7, 2012) Ocean City police used a Taser to subdue an apparently suicidal man on Saturday, when they went to the 22nd Street area to follow up on calls about disorderly conduct.

When police arrived on the scene, they encountered what they described as a highly intoxicated man in his vehicle and who appeared to be upset about an argu-

as a black male, wearing a striped shirt and jeans, was causing problems on the bus, disturbing and harassing other passengers.

The drive ordered him off the bus.

Although the man appeared to be willing to comply, he demanded his fare money back before leaving the bus. The driver informed him, however, that he could not refund his money, since drivers do not have access to the fares once they are put through. When the man attempted to reach towards the drivers’ moneybox, the driver physically stopped him, prompting the suspect to punch the driver before leaving.

“We hope somebody can tell us more,” said Ocean City Police Department spokesman Mike Levy.

The driver apparently did not suffer a serious injury from the blow, and refused medical treatment at the scene.

In June, Hall had sent an e-mail to city officials expressing his concern about unruly passengers on the buses and suggested

looking into hiring security guards for latenight transportation during the summer.

Although this idea was strongly rejected by the Ocean City Police Department, which already places officers aboard buses on a volunteer overtime basis, it initiated a series of meetings among public officials to investigate the bus system. The consensus seemed to be, however, that any unease riders were feeling in crowded buses with rowdy, young passengers was not necessarily police enforceable.

But following the debate, some scheduling changes were made in order to allow more transportation supervisors to be available on-call, and at busy stops, to assist with crowds.

“I know we can’t prevent every crime,” Hall said in his Monday email. “I just saw this one coming. I hope to have full report and a reasonable action plan to possibly prevent [these incidents] in [the] future.

No job’s worth getting assaulted.”

ment with his girlfriend.

Police said the individual suddenly produced a folding knife, opened it and held it to his throat. While police tried to negotiate with him, the man moved the knife away from his throat, but still held it in his hand. An officer with a Taser deployed it, incapacitating the subject.

POLITICAL ANALYSIS By Zack Hoopes

Unionization has become electoral house of cards To read a simple transcript of Tuesday’s meeting, the impression amongst those unseasoned to Ocean City politics may be of a simple argument over the efficacy of unions to the municipality. This is not entirely untrue. But there is considerably more to this week’s spat than would be apparent if one did not go into it with the knowledge that the city’s election-season politicking has become, at this point, a carefullychoreographed ballet of strategic positioning.

Joe Hall and Brent Ashley’s motion to have the council officially disapprove of unionization is likely designed to have more of an effect on the rest of council than on themselves.

They’ve already stated, several times, that they are opposed to collective bargaining for public employees. The move adds nothing new to them.

But what it does do, or at least was intended to do, is to force the rest of council to take a stance on the issue, presumably creating one more talking point in the upcoming election that will separate Hall from his opponents.

Hall is one of the more embattled council members who are up for re-election. Council President Jim Hall, who has sided with Joe Hall and Ashley on several controversial decisions, particularly employee benefits revisions and the firing of former City Manager Dennis Dare, is also up for re-election, but has been described, even by his opponents, as just as easily a compromiser and tie-breaker as he is a partisan figure.

Mayor Rick Meehan is also facing his first challenge since taking office in 2006, from long-time downtown property owner Nick Campagnoli. But what is probably more pressing for Meehan – as the non-voting mayor – is the political future of two of his frequent voting allies. Council members Doug Cymek and Mary Knight are also up for re-election and are at Joe Hall’s throat just as much as he is at theirs.

Joe Hall thus appears to be staking his re-election bid – at least in part – on not only positioning himself as antiSee HALL on Page 24

Support Ocean City employees Editor, My wife and I were proud to sign a petition recently to support our dedicated employees of Ocean City in their effort to have a question placed on the ballot in November, which will allow them the opportunity to be represented by a union.

We urge all property owners and residents to also support our OC employees on this issue. After all, we entrust them daily to make the right decisions when they perform their many and varied work assignments that keep our town safe and appealing to us as property owners and our many visitors. Let them decide whether or not they would like to be represented by a union like our dedicated police and firemen have had for many years.

It is only fair that our Ocean City employees should have the same security that many other represented workers in this country already enjoy.

Suggestions to improve litter issue Editor, I, as an ex-Marylander, visited your fine city recently and read with great interest about the litter and cigarette butt problem you are having. Now I live in Hampton, N.H., and as a beach community, we too face the same problems. I go out almost every day and pick up litter and butts with an Ettore grib n’grab

pickup stick (you can pick up a dime off the ground with it) and a Home Depot re-useable shopping bag, the perfect tools for such a task. Yes, you too, Becky and Ken, can become one in a million and pick up a piece of litter today. Why, with the amount of people who walk every day, walk their dogs every day, yep, a lot of people could be helping combat this problem.

Why don’t they? I’m really not sure; maybe because they don’t get paid to do it, or that it’s dirty (with the stick, your hands never touch the trash). Or maybe because it’s the city’s job to do such a thing. Regrettably, the cities can’t keep up; they don’t have the resources to address such issues. The litterpigs have outnumbered us, but they are not going to win.

Personally, I would like the cities to become more pro-active in asking the public to not throw their butts, and please fill up our trash cans, not our parking lots and streets. Put some of those wonderful electronic road signs to use, hit the incoming rush with some good old, down-toearth messages like “Please Don’t Butt Up Our Beach-Please Fill Up Our Trash Cans!” Get the message out to the throngs before they get to the beach. Aerial signs and the boat signs speak volumes. Ask the people to cooperate and you’ll see a big response. Nobody likes a dirty beach.

How about community service participants walking and picking? I bet that there is a lovely group of seniors out there who would love to help with this. We, as the 99 percent, have to get it together and help the town fathers plan out a better plan of ac-

tion. We have to ask the public to help us and in doing so we are all helping each other; it’s like the concept of “build it and they will come.”

Well, ask them and they will help!

I have two bumper stickers on my car, one says, “Pick Up Litter,” and the other one says, “Smokers, our planet/beach is not your ashtray. Keep your butts in your pants!”

Good luck with all this, don’t give up. Get involved because you can make a difference. If you see a butt flicker, speak up. We’ve had enough already! I will not give up. This problem is something we don’t want to pass on to our children.

Parker Diamond Hampton, N.H.

Disappointed by beach closure Editor, Read with great interest the article by Tom Shuster regard the overload of activities that may be scheduled on the beach. So upsetting, disappointing, frustrating.

I live, pay my big taxes, shop in the Ocean City. My three grandchildren were visiting from out of state several weeks ago and, of course, we went to the beach and were prepared for a good outing. Could not understand why the area on Eighth Street was so devoid of people.

Looked to the left, saw people packed shoulder to shoulder in the water and on the beach. Looked to my right and the same scene marred the landscape. Apparently, there was a surfing contest and the beach area between Seventh and Continued on Page 21

By Stewart Dobson The last time I watched a national political convention was when – wait, it will come to me, it was when (sound of fingers tapping on the desk), when …

Now that I think about it, it turns out that I’ve never watched a national political convention of any party, not a minute, not a snippet, not even a fleeting glimpse of the goings on between channel switching.

Why do that, I ask you, when I already know the outcome, am pretty sure I know what the various participants are going to say and am fully aware that whatever is said will receive more rehashings than the leftovers at a cheap breakfast joint. Not to put too fine a point on it, of course.

But I have been asked by any number of people if I watched any of the GOP convention last week or the Democratic convention this week and the happy fact is that I did not, thus preserving my pure ignorance for use when it really counts.

The way I see it, the problem we’re facing today is not what we know, but what we think we know, having been informed of various truths by people with whom we happen to agree with anyway.

I prefer, instead, to read about what happened at the conventions by comparing the written thoughts of opposing newspaper columnists, who clarify what it all means or doesn’t mean, depending on your point of view.

Let’s say, for instance, that Sen. Billy Bob speaks at a convention. On the following day, the headline over one column will read, “Billy Bob is an idiot.” On the other column, the headline will read, “Billy Bob is not an idiot.”

Now, after weighing the two and filtering out the more blatant political leanings, I can safely conclude that Billy Bob probably is more of a part-time idiot. I can find some comfort in that, since the last thing I’d want is to have to deal with some who’s too smart to listen or too dumb to understand.

This doesn’t mean I don’t have political leanings, depending on the day. There are times when I’m somewhat of a right-wing liberal, which means I believe government can do what it wants as long as it doesn’t do it to me until such time that I want something. When that happens, I convert to a left-wing right-winger, which, to my way of thinking, means I get what I want while someone else pays for it.

Both the GOP and the Democrats, on the other hand, are too locked in to their current philosophies to accommodate my more flexible political thinking, not to mention a tendency on my part to oppose whoever’s in charge just for the sport of it.

So have I watched any of the political conventions? Nope. But I have been reading about them and have decided that if everyone knew as little as I do, we’d all be better off.

Ninth streets or more was closed to us. Not closed for one hour or two, not closed early in the morning or later on in the afternoon. No, some brilliant individual(s) felt the beach must be closed for most of the day. I was truly surprised that this time not even the tourists were considered.

How many more events will the council approve so residents and visitors can be inconvenienced? Is this a family tourist town or just a money-making venue? Is that what is most important?

OPINION 21

Kidz/BRAVE Summer Camp a success.

The program offered arts and crafts, fun activities, sports and recreational activities. The children were presented with certificates for participating in the summer camp, basketball training, and 4-H and Home Depot projects.

The summer camp was a three-week program for Berlin children ages 6 to 11, held July 16-Aug. 2, at the Isaiah Fassett Community Center (Home of Berlin). The program was coordinated and directed by Sandra Oliver. The 22 camp participants went on field trips to the Discovery Center, Berlin library, Shad Landing pool and Philadelphia Zoo. Each child received a camp T-shirt. Lunch was provided for the children each day through the sponsorship of Walmart, Subway, Papa John’s and Popeye’s. The children also enjoyed basic boxing training with local boxing coach Charlie Rites and basic basketball training in the Henry Park with Coloradobased basketball coach Tristan Oliver.

Invaluable resources and presenta-

tions were provided by the Berlin Police Department, Home of Berlin, BRAVE (Berlin Reclaims Attitudes and Value Enhancement), Newark Fire Department, Worcester County Health Department, Rhodes Design Studio and volunteers.

On the last day of camp, we had a Family Night. The event allowed children to proudly display some of the arts and crafts made, and slide presentations of the program were shown to the parents. Our guests, Chief Arnold Downing and BRAVE Director Diana Purnell, greeted our parents and children.This was a good summer experience for the children. They showed how much they enjoyed the camp through a writing presentation on the family night. The parents were very cooperative and helpful, which also helped to make this camp successful. We look forward to doing more programs in the community throughout the year and summer.

Council starts to show ‘true colors’ Editor, There have been subtle hints, here and there, for almost two years. But after the City Council Work Session on Tuesday, Aug. 28, the council majority is starting to openly show their true colors.

The council majority hates career employees, and especially the town of Ocean City employees. During a discussion of rising health care costs and how the council could lower costs, the topic of workers’ compensation pay arose. The budget manager, Jennie Knapp, advised the council that health care costs have gone up, among other reasons. She also added that, and I’m paraphrasing, while most employees earn worker’s compensation pay at a rate of 66 2/3 percent, other public safety employees receive 100 percent worker’s compensation pay per their contract.

Council members Joe Hall and Brent Ashley seemed shocked initially, and then pandered to the video camera while making comments: (again paraphrasing) so the police get 100 percent worker’s comp per the contract? For everyone listening, the police officers are getting paid 100 percent while everyone else is getting 66 2/3 percent.

What’s appalling is multi-faceted. First is that they were “shocked” by this news.

Every time they learn something “new” about the contract between the town and the FOP, they conveniently forget that

they approved the contract. The contract the FOP bargained, note the word “bargained,” with the town is a negotiation that is ultimately ratified by the membership and the City Council.

Second, the fact that the police receive their full salary, when they are injured at work, on duty, protecting Ocean City residents and property, shouldn’t be viewed as a negative. They should not be financially penalized for doing their jobs and unfortunately being injured. The unfortunate part of the police receiving full compensation when they are injured at work is that all city employees aren’t taken care of in the same manner. Someone comes to work one day, gets hurt on the job, and the next day only gets two-thirds of his salary while recovering is kicking a person while they are down.

It is this open disdain by the council majority, specifically Joe Hall and Brent Ashley, that I know has driven the general employees of Ocean City to seek unionization. They aren’t unionizing out of greed; they are unionizing out of fear. Fear of financial instability, fear of job insecurity, and fear of private business owners meddling in the public sector without the requisite knowledge. Their open attempt to drive a wedge between city departments is deplorable.

This November’s election will be a turning point in the town of Ocean City’s history. It will either be when votes are cast to steer this ship away from the proverbial rocks, or it will be a continuation of reckless, thoughtless actions, by unqualified, self-important individuals, at the expense of the employees.

Demoflush statistics show approx. 277k visitors in OC last weekend Continued from Page 1

According to Demoflush statistics, which uses wastewater flows to estimate the city’s population, 277,303 people were in Ocean City over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday average), compared to 2011 when approximately 292,911 visited, according to Donna Abbott, Ocean City’s Ocean City’s tourism and marketing director.

“Demoflush was … down from last year’s 292,911, but within the range we typically get for the Labor Day weekend.

Our records show Labor Day can come in anywhere from 250,000 to last year’s number, according to the Demoflush formula,” Abbott said.

“I was in town on Sunday and spent some time on the beach before the rain came. Crowds looked good even with an iffy weather forecast. Overall for the summer, I have been hearing mostly positive reports.”

Abbott said it will be another month or so before she receives room and food tax collection reports for all of the summer months. Those numbers, she said, will provide another snapshot of how the season went.

Delmar and Dena Smith own three businesses in the Inlet Village in downtown Ocean City. Delmar Smith said the restaurant, which overlooks the inlet and Assateague Island, had its best Labor Day weekend since they took over the business three years ago. Their other two businesses in the Inlet Village – Doggie Style Café K9, a boutique featuring pet products and merchandise, and Monkey Doodles children’s boutique – were also busy.

“Saturday was our best day at all three places,” he said.

Saturday was also a busy day for de Lazy Lizard, on the bay at First Street.

“We were on fire on Saturday. We almost hit a [daily] record. Friday, Saturday and Monday we killed it,” said Managing Partner Todd Hays. “The rain hurt us a bit on Sunday, but we still beat last year. Overall, it was a great weekend.”

Greg Shockley, owner of Shenanigan’s Irish Pub, on the Boardwalk at Fourth Street, was also pleased with the weekend, despite the rain driving away some business on Sunday.

“Overall, I was satisfied with the Labor Day weekend,” he said. “Compared to last year we were up and last year we had an exceptional Labor Day.” Directly above Shenanigan’s is The Shoreham Hotel. Shockley said all 44 rooms were full Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Joe Oboyle of Ocean City installs his “No Stresspassing” sign in the bay at Assateague Island National Seashore on Sunday.

With him are his wife, Mo, and their two Samoyans, Chopper and Mako.

Hall attempts to force opponents’ hands Continued from Page 20

union, but also pressing his opponents to position themselves as supportive of organized labor. Clearly, Hall has determined that the sentiment of the masses is against unionization, but that will only be known for sure after the referendum is taken.

Ashley and Joe Hall’s move may not have achieved exactly what it wanted to, since the opposing argument by the other five council members was not indicative of support for collective bargaining, but that the council should not be issuing a pre-emptive collective opinion on a referendum question.

But whether the public will take those five’s declension as a de-facto acceptance of unionization is still up in the air, unless, of course, they come out with concrete opinions on the topic, which is what Joe Hall most likely wanted in the first place, at least from Knight and Cymek.

What was also apparent Tuesday night was that Meehan and Cymek, at least, are committed to continuing to attack Joe Hall as the instigator of employee dissatisfaction.

Meehan even stated the “fact” that Hall’s criticism of the pension system and callous comments about employee benefits (“when you’re done, we’re done with you” has been a quotation of Hall’s used as a rallying cry by union proponents) were the straw that broke the camel’s back on unionization.

Even if this is the case, the idea that Joe Hall’s various faux pas are entirely to blame is unlikely. Since the city’s pension plan was bifurcated into public safety and general employee funds in 1991, the benefit

changes for the city’s general employees have almost been tit-for-tat with those gained by the FOP. It would be impossible to put a finger on any individual persons responsible for this escalation. But it’s no secret that the FOP still harbors some resentment for the city’s mid-1990s spending on capital improvements instead of bolstering the public safety pension beyond 100 percent funding – police unionization followed in 2002.

How the cards fell in this battle, however, is only known by the city’s two current officials who were on council back then – Meehan and Jim Hall.

The reality is that any sort of objective conclusion about the roots of current employee dissatisfaction would be impossible to ascertain without examining the history of councilmanic slights and bad moves as well as more recent utterances.

Meehan thus has nothing to lose by insisting that employees’ blame of the council majority is factual information. In all likelihood, however, nothing that was said Tuesday night will actually change what is going to happen at the polls in November, whatever that may be.

Because the idea of employee motivation is so esoteric, it will be very easy for voters to believe the side that they already want to believe; if they support Meehan, his take on employee sentiment will obviously be the right one. Same goes on Joe Hall’s side of the coin as well. One is thus best to take this week’s kerfuffle for what it is – pandering to the base.

Handgun found Ocean City police found a 40-caliber handgun in a 2009 Nissan Maxima that was stopped because of loud noise on Saturday.

A Bike Patrol officer stopped the car on Eighth Street and Baltimore Avenue. When he asked the driver, Jasper Terrail Martin, 21, of Camden, Del., for his license, the officer said Martin appeared nervous and his carotid artery pulsated rapidly.

The policeman then asked Martin for his registration and Martin started checking his pockets. He then told Martin that registrations are usually kept in glove boxes. Martin looked at him and slowly reached to the glove box to open it.

As he opened it, another police officer saw a handgun inside. Both police officers drew their guns. One pointed his gun at the driver and the

other pointed his gun at the passenger.

After additional officers arrived, the driver and passenger were ordered out of the car and handcuffed. A search of the car was made, but no additional weapons were found. However, a holster and a box of bullets were located.

Martin said he had put the gun in the car to show a friend in Dover, Del., and he had forgotten it was still there. He also said he was from Mississippi, where a person’s vehicle is like their home and people may keep guns in their vehicles.

Martin was charged with having a handgun in a vehicle and having a handgun on his person. He received a citation for the noise violation.

Hit and run

Assault alleged

Troopers with the Maryland State Police are seeking information about the hit and run collision at Route 113 at Jarvis Road in Showell on Saturday just after midnight.

Phillip Edward Cougill, 47, of Showell, was riding his bicycle when struck by an unknown vehicle.

Several witnesses saw the red flashing strobe LED light that was attached to the rear seat of his bicycle. This drew their attention to Cougill, who was lying next to the guardrail just before Jarvis Road. Scrape marks and other evidence on the shoulder indicated that Cougill was riding his bicycle on the shoulder when he was struck. The vehicle that struck him did not stop.

When troopers arrived at the scene and saw that Cougill was seriously injured, they called to the Maryland State Police helicopter, which transported him to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

A 51-year-old man who reportedly lives in one of the resort’s parks was charged Saturday with first- and second-degree assault.

According to Ocean City police, Robert Lee Sitler became belligerent with a man who asked how he was doing. He told the man to leave his park. Sitlet then produced a penknife from his pocket, exposed the blade, took a fighting stance and pointed the blade at the man.

The man disarmed Sitler and gave the knife to one of Sitler’s friends, who later gave the knife back to Sitler.

Witnesses verified the man’s statements and Sitler reportedly told police he threatened the man with his knife. According to the charging document, Sitler told police he was going to cut the man’s throat, kill him and dump him in the bay.

Sitler was being held in the Worcester County Jail on $5,000 bail.

Callers may remain anonymous.

(Sept. 7, 2012) A 43-year-old Ocean City man was arrested Aug. 28 after he allegedly threatened a woman with a knife and would not allow her to leave a Trimper Avenue residence.

Police charged James Richard Ulicny with first-degree assault and other crimes.

The woman told police she had been trying to leave the house since the previous evening because Ulicny had been drinking all day.

According to the charging document, she tried to walk out of the only door, but Ulicny stood about 3 feet in front of her holding a knife in his hand. He allegedly pointed the knife at her and told he would kill her if she tried to leave him.

She remained in the house and called the homeless shelter to ensure she would have a place to stay if she could get out of the house.

When she tried another time to leave, Ulicny blocked the door with a chair.

She watched Ulicny continue to drink beer and after he passed out on the porch, she called police.

When police arrived, they saw a chair blocking the door in such a way that if it were moved, it would bump into the chair occupied by Ulicny and alert him to the fact that she was trying to leave.

According to police, Ulicny’s eyes were closed and he was holding a can of beer. A kitchen knife, approximately 7 inches long, was on the table within his reach.

A policeman removed the knife from the table and tried to awaken Ulicny, but because Ulicny was extremely intoxicated, he was not able to communicate effectively and he had difficulty keeping his head up and his eyes open. Approximately 10 beer cans surrounded his chair.

Police remained on the scene while the woman gathered her belongings so she could leave.

They charged Ulicny with firstand second-degree assault, carrying a dangerous weapon with the intent to injure, reckless endangerment and false imprisonment.

(Sept. 7, 2012) A new Web site is expected to provide business owners with plenty of reasons to locate or expand in Worcester County, the state’s only seaside county.

The Worcester County Economic Development Department launched the Web site, www.chooseworcester. org, in August to outline the economic opportunities, incentives and resources available to help establish new businesses and to strengthen existing ones.

The department also has a new, but brief, economic fact sheet and a new map showing the entire county on one side and the municipalities on the other side.

The enhanced resources are expected to be an important part of the department’s upgraded marketing effort to promote the advantages of doing business in Worcester County. Those advantages, according to the county’s information, include the additional resources available to businesses operating in any of the county’s three enterprise zones, which are located in Berlin, Snow Hill and Pocomoke.

Berlin has had an enterprise zone for many years. The towns of Pocomoke and Snow Hill let their zone designations expire, but had them re-designated several months ago because of the benefits available to businesses.

The benefits include income tax and real property tax credits in return for the creation of jobs and investments in the business.

Additionally, the entire county has been designated a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) by the U.S. Small Business Administration. HUBZone certification provides businesses with greater access to federal procurement opportunities.

“Worcester County is a dynamic, pro-business marketplace abounding with new opportunities,” said Bill Badger, director of the county Economic Development Department. “The new Web site, updated county maps and fact sheet are all important components in our approach to attracting new business investment and jobs to Worcester County.”

In promoting Worcester, Badger and other county officials point out that it is strategically located in the heart of the Delmarva Peninsula and is in easy driving distance for one-third of the nation’s population. They also say the county offers a superb family-friendly lifestyle, outstanding school system, friendly towns, enterprise zones and ready access to major metropolitan markets, including Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Officials said information on the advantages of establishing or expanding a business in Worcester County is available at www.chooseworcester.org or by contacting Badger at 410-632-3112 or bbadger@co.worcester.md.us.

Plansfor Snow Hill HighSchool project will be revised, updated NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) The Worcester County Commissioners approved Tuesday’s request of Superintendent of Public Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson for the construction documents for the renovation and addition project at Snow Hill High School to be revised and updated. They also approved his written request for budget transfers.

“The documents have remained untouched for five years,” Wilson told the

commissioners.

They need to be revised and updated so the project schedule for the work at the high school may be maintained.

Becker Morgan Group, an architectural and engineering firm based in Salisbury, will update the construction drawings and the written specifications.

The documents will be resubmitted to the state Department of General Services in January 2013 for review and approval.

drawings and specifications in January 2007.

The revision and update cost money, so Wilson sought and obtained authorization to move forward. The $165,000 needed for the document update and the $90,000 needed for the pre-construction services from February through May 2013 are included in the fiscal year budget as designated funds for the school.

Wilson said the request is limited to the required architect and construction management fees required by the state to proceed with the project schedule and that he was not seeking approval to proceed with project bidding and construction at this time.

If the process continues to move forward, bidding for the project could begin as early as May 2013 and groundbreaking as early as January 2014. The project will renovate and enlarge the 1958-built facility by adding state-of-the art classrooms, a new media center, computer labs, science wing, gymnasium, cafeteria/kitchen, and a new athletic complex.

When complete, the high school’s current square footage will almost be doubled to about 124,000 square-feet.

The renovated facility will include several sustainable highly-efficient features such as a geothermal heating/cooling system, motion activated lights, thermally insulated glass, and low-flow plumbing fixtures.

The Worcester County Board of Education will submit its fiscal year 2014 capital improvement plan to the state in early October. That submittal will include its request for state funds. The board expects to review that capital improvement plan with the county commissioners in November.

Wilson also sought and obtained approval for transfers in the Board of Education budget to address increased transportation and maintenance costs.

The request was in writing and the commissioners approved it without discussion.

In an Aug. 28 letter to the commissioners, Wilson wrote that the budget category of student transportation exceeded the original budget allocation “due to several items including new and extended bus runs, replacement buses and the fuel supplement paid to our bus contractors as a result of increased diesel fuel prices. The budget category of Maintenance of Plant exceeded the original budget allocation due to the increasing cost of repairs and supplies to again HVAC units at our school buildings.”

The increase in those categories would be offset by a reduction in the categories of operation of plant and fixed charges.

The Board of Education had approved of those transfers during its Aug. 21 meeting.

None of the transfers change the board’s total appropriation for fiscal year 2012. The transfers are needed to align the board’s budget with actual expenses as part of the year-end closeout process.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Sales contracts offer various contingencies

Ribbon cutting

LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) Purchasing a new home is normally the biggest investment you’ll ever make, and once you’ve bought a home, it’s a decision you can’t easily reverse, especially in our current real estate market. Contracts of sale offer various contingency clauses that allow you to negotiate the contract or possibly render the contract null and void.

Some of the main contingencies in contracts are: ■ Financing contingency: This allows you to spell out the terms of your financing such as amount of down payment, maximum interest rate, loan type (such as FHA, VA, etc.), and the timeframe in which the lender has to obtain commitment of financing.

■ Home Inspection contingency: This contingency offers you the chance to inspect the home for major issues in mechanical and structural systems of the house. A home inspection contingency does not always offer a buyer an unconditional right of rescission, but it can be requested specifically.

The timeframe allowed for the home inspection to be completed is usually within five to 14 days from the date of contract acceptance, and the inspection addendum language is very specific as to when buyers and sellers must respond to each other when repairs are requested, or the buyer can lose their ability to void the contract based on the inspection findings.

■ Appraisal contingency: This contingency usually works where, if the appraisal value of the home comes in for less than what you offered, you can request that the seller reduce the price accordingly, or the contract can be voided. However, FHA loans must appraise at the contract price, so the appraisal contingency is built into the FHA addendum language in See FINE on Page 39

‘DINE OUT, MARYLAND!’ Promotion encourages people to visit their favorite eateries LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) The Restaurant Association of Maryland has launched a new statewide, monthlong program, “Dine Out, Maryland!,” to encourage people to visit their favorite eateries and try some new places throughout September.

As an incentive, the organization is providing a 20-percent discount coupon that may be used at participating businesses. It can be printed online at www.dineoutmaryland.com.

Some restrictions and exclusions apply.

Fifteen RAM member restaurants in and around the Ocean City area are participating.

“The Dine Out promotion does looks like a good way to be exposed to the whole state and the idea is to not have a question about if you’re going to eat out, just where,” said Lauren Taylor, owner of Captain’s Table, located on the third floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel on 15th Street, between the Boardwalk and Baltimore Avenue.

“The hope is it will bring new customers and give us higher visibility and awareness.”

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Worcester Prep volleyball Coach Herb Simon demonstrates the proper passing technique during last Thursday’s practice at the Berlin school. This is the second year for the school’s volleyball program.

MALLARDS:MATURING Seven players return in 2012 with year of experience LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) Last fall was the first time a volleyball program was offered at Worcester Prep and not one of the Lady Mallards on Coach Herb Simon’s roster had much, if any, experience playing the sport.

“In the first game we didn’t score a point unless the other team made a error,” Simon said. “But by the last game, we were able to have rally points and we were starting to get the bumps, sets and hits.”

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

(Sept. 7, 2012) Worcester Prep golf Coach Kevin Gates has experience on his roster this year — seven of his 10 players competed in 2011.

Gates, now in his sixth year at the helm, will count on his five seniors, four who have been on the team since their freshman year, for leadership.

“We should have a great year. Having five seniors is a big strength.

Prep Coach Four have been on varsity for Kevin Gates four years so they’re used to everything we do,” Gates said. “We haven’t played great yet. But I know this team and they know they can play better.”

Veteran players include seniors Patrick Dowling, Scott Gee, Matt Middleton and Josh Moyer, junior Billy Brittingham and sophomores Rylie Doyle and Derek Wilgus.

Last year the Mallards captured their fifth consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference Tournament title. Dowling shot a 38 to lead the Mallards and was named tournament MVP. Gee (39), Brittingham (42) and then-senior Alyssa Alicea (44) also contributed in the victory.

The four players received All-Tournament honors, along with Moyer and Middleton, who both carded 48s during the match.

The Mallards won each of their conference matches in 2011 and took home their fifth ESIAC Championship title.

Brittingham carded a 37 during the ESIAC Championship match, recording the lowest score and receiving medalist and MVP honors for the second consecutive year. Dowling shot a 39, Gee a 40 and Moyer a 41. Brittingham, Dowling, Gee and Moyer earned AllConference honors, along with Middleton who scored a 43.

The Mallards are looking to build on last year’s successes

W i t h much success as a volleyball coach over the years, winning more than 80 percent of Prep Coach his matches Herb Simon and producing All-Americans and players who have gone on to compete at the Division I college level, Simon taught the girls fundamentals of the game, court positioning and formation. Despite only winning one match, Simon was pleased with the strides the

Prep junior J.B. Loomis, left, and senior Harrison Brennan.

players made.

“We’re way ahead of where we were at this point last year,” he said. “What I enjoy about this team is that the girls are dedicated and they work hard.”

Seven Mallards on Simon’s 13-player roster — seniors Parker Kellam and Caroline Wetzelberger, juniors Claire Stickler, McKenna Shanahan and Bethany Wolpin, and sophomores Cecily Sass and Mattie Maull — have returned with a year of experience to their credit.

WORCESTER PREP FALL SPORTS PREVIEW

Goalie Brown lone senior on Worcester Prep field hockey squad LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) Claire Brown, the lone senior on the Worcester Prep field hockey team, plays the ideal position to lead the group — in the goal.

“As a goalie, you can see the whole field so you can tell the players where they need to be and how they should play. From my experience from being on the team for four years, I’ll be able to lead the team and help the younger players,” said Brown, who received All-Conference Second

Team honors in 2011.

This is her third season in goal for the Lady Mallards. “I’m sad this is my last year, but it’s been a great four years.”

Since only one of the Prep Coach 18 players on her roster is senior, sixth-year Jenny Frostrom a Coach Jenny Frostrom will rely on several of her juniors — including Maddy Stearns (center defense), Sarah Arrington (forward), Ali Greer (midfield), Meg Lingo (forward), Hannah

Esham (midfield) and Libby Truitt (defense) — as well as sophomore midfielders Jordie Loomis and Natalie Twilley, for leadership.

Greer was named to the All-Conference First Team at the end of last season, while Arrington and Loomis received Second Team honors. Esham and Lingo were presented with Honorable Mention accolades.

“We have a large junior class (seven) that have played together since seventh grade and I’ve coached them the whole time so that makes for a strong core group

returning,” Frostrom said.

Thirteen of the Mallards competed in 2011, when the team went 13-5. Worcester lost 3-1 to Sts. Peter & Paul in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship. Last year was the Mallards highest scoring season (68) and they allowed the least number of goals. Lingo led the team with 17 goals. Opponents scored 24 goals on Worcester. Brown recorded 76 saves in 2011.

with the assistance of new players — senior Bobby Schaeffer and freshmen Jason Cook and John Meakin.

“We got some young [players] so we’ve got to put the team on our backs,” said Gee, a four-year player. “We’ve got to go out there every day and perform. This is the best team ever I think that we’ve had at this school.”

Dowling, also a four-year member of the team, said he wants to mentor the younger players and teach them all he knows, lead by example and play well. He has high expectations for the season.

“I want to go undefeated since it’s my last year. We want to dominate, win everything,” he said. “We’re really coming to-

gether as a team and we’ve got some chemistry. This is our best team ever since I’ve been here so there are big things in store.”

Gates said the team is shooting to win all its dual matches and bring home ESIAC Tournament and Championship titles again. The Mallards also want to score a victory in competitions against the public schools of the Bayside Conference, particularly top powerhouse Stephen Decatur.

During the first meeting with the Bayside schools on Aug. 28, Worcester Prep came in third place with a 169. Washington earned second-place honors, shooting a 168, and Decatur topped the field with a 152. Prep is scheduled to compete against the Bayside schools again on Sept. 18.

Westcott steps down after 35 years asWorcester Prep soccer coach Continued from Page 42

Westcott was named 2011 ESIAC Coach of the Year and Worcester finished last season 13-2-1.

At the beginning of 2012, Terry Underkoffler was appointed the Mallards’ new coach. He was an assistant coach at Sussex Central High School in Delaware for one season before coming to Worcester Prep, where he is an instructional technology specialist at the school. Prior to that, he coached soccer in eastern Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. He has been involved with the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program since 1980.

“I’m excited about joining the program. I think we have a lot of potential,”

volleyball before, but we improved monumentally at the end of the season and I think we’ll do well this year because we have [veterans] that can help the new girls,” Maull said.

Added Shanahan, “I think we just want to accomplish working together as a team and just having fun and make it the best season we possibly can. I think we’re all excited to play.”

Simon said sophomore newcomer Meredith Kellam is hitting well from the outside and is a solid addition to the team.

The coach said he has been pushing the girls and they have responded positively to his directions because they want to learn and improve.

“I’m happy with the athletes I have.

They love the challenge,” Simon said. “The goal is to get better every time they step on the court. Even if we don’t win a game, if each girl is doing the best [she] can, then that’s all I can ask.”

Underkoffler said last week. “Right now, we’re just trying to pull all the pieces together. We had some challenging scrimmages against good opponents in pre-season, Prep Coach which will get us ready T. Underkoffler for the season.”

Worcester lost seven players to graduation, but a majority of the boys on Underkoffler’s 16-man roster are veterans. Underkoffler said all of his players work hard and they are smart, picking up quickly what he teaches them.

He said the six seniors — goalie Zander Farr, defenders Conor Nally and Harrison Brennan (2011 All-Conference

Second Team), forward Seth Conboy and midfielders Chris Adkins and Gordon Abercrombie (All-Conference Honorable Mention) — have been vocal and strong leaders, along with juniors Ryan Nally (midfielder), J.B. Loomis (forward) and Matt Reilly (defense).

This is Farr’s second season in goal for Worcester.

“I feel more confident playing the position, but we’re a little less stacked up on defense this year. Last year, our defense was four seniors and they left us, so we’re still moving people around to find a solid defense,” said Farr, a three-year member of the team. “My job is to hold it down from the back and make sure we’re organized. I obviously have the best eyes

from the back and I can see everyone and tell them where to go.”

Brennan, who has been on varsity since his freshman year, has played on the forward and midfield lines. This week, he was moved to the defensive line. Brennan said Tuesday he was adjusting to his new position and he is eager to assist the team from the backfield.

“I’ve never really played defense before. I kind of like it. I’ve just got to learn everything,” he said. “Once we get chemistry, we’ll be good. It’s just one step at a time and we’ll get better and better … I’ve been on the team four years and it’s been a good journey so far. I just hope it continues and we have another good year.”

Lady Mallards are enthusiastic and hard workers Coach will rely on veteran players to lead Prep squad to success this season LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) Worcester Prep girls’ soccer coach, Carol Hartnett, describes her Lady Mallard as “very enthusiastic, willing to learn and hard workers.”

The team also has strong senior leadership.

Hartnett, who has coached the Mallards since 1998, has 21 veterans on her 26-player roster.

“Any veteran player should consider themselves leaders. We rely heavily on our veteran players,” Hartnett said.

In 2011, they led Worcester to an 8-5 record. The only losses were to Sts. Peter & Paul (three) and St. Andrews (two).

The Mallards lost in a shootout (3-1) to Sts. Peter & Paul in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship game after a back-and-forth

battle. The score was tied 2-2 after 80 minutes and two 10-minute overtime periods. The Mallards want to avenge that loss to their annual conference rival this Prep Coach year.

Hartnett said the 2012 Carol Hartnett team will be strongest on defense, with a core group of returning players in the back field who have several years of varsity experience.

Helping to lead the defense is fouryear player, senior stopper Dara Pappas (2011 All-Conference First Team).

“The sweeper, Alissa Talbert (2011 All-Conference First Team), and I have been playing together for about six years and we work well together. We have our little system and we help everyone on the team because we see the whole field,” Pappas said. “It’s going to be a fun season and I’m really looking forward to it. I think we’re going to accomplish a lot.”

All seven of the seniors have been with the program since they were freshmen, and Pappas said they work well together

because they have a strong bond. Returning as seniors are forwards Alex Bruder, Tierney Loeser and Meredith Soulé, midfielders Meredith Smith and Molly Marshall and defender Gabrielle D’Antonio.

Hartnett will also count on several juniors including Talbert, defender Cynthia Delaney, midfielder Frankie Willing and forward Lilly DiNardo for leadership. Willing and DiNardo received 2011 All-Conference First Team accolades.

“We have a lot of chemistry, but we just need to work on the little stuff, like getting our first touches down and the fundamentals of soccer back,” DiNardo said. “We’re all really good friends so I think it will be a fun season.”

Hartnett said the sophomores and freshmen are performing well and they will make a contribution this season.

Grace Tunis, a freshman, will be the Mallards’ goalie. It is her first time playing the position, but Hartnett said she has made great improvements.

“We had a wonderful preseason,” Hartnett said. “It was good preparation for the season.”

“I feel we have a lot of potential. I’m extremely impressed with the progress we’ve made since the beginning of August. The girls are serious about hockey and they want to do well. We’re playing with intensity and they have the drive.”

Brown, Arrington and Lingo have been named team captains.

“I have had to step up a lot, all of the juniors have stepped up. When we were freshmen we only had one senior and a big junior class so they were big role models for us,” said Arrington, a three-year player. “In pre-season, I was very surprised and happy with our team. I think it’s just going to get better from here.”

Added Lingo, also a three-year player, “We have team unity this year. We’re all really looking forward to the season.”

Urban shoots one over par in win at Bay Club course LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) The Stephen Decatur golf team scored two victories in the past week to boost its record to 3-0.

Last Thursday, Decatur and eight other schools played the front nine holes of the West course, which Seahawk Coach Jim Krall said was in great shape

just days after The Bay Club received about 13 inches of rain.

“The grounds crew did an outstanding job, which everyone greatly appreciated.

Seahawks easily soar past Jaguars 40-14 in season opener at home Indian River Indians to take on Decatur tonight in Berlin LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) The Stephen Decatur football team kicked off the 2012 season last Friday with a 40-14 victory over the Washington Jaguars at home in Berlin.

Coach Bob Knox said he was pleased with some facets of the game, but added that there are areas where the Seahawks can improve.

“I have two pages of notes of things to get better at. But, everything on my two pages can be fixed,” Knox said Tuesday night.

“We’ve just got to work at it and prioritize what to fix first. There are some minor things that won’t take much time at all and some things that will take a bit of time.”

Though the visiting team had possession of the ball for the opening three minutes of the Aug. 31 game, Decatur was first to get on the board. Senior James Mapp scored from 14 yards out with 1:09 remaining in the first quarter.

Junior Fletcher Case’s kick was good to give the Seahawks a 7-0 lead.

With 8:15 to play in the second quarter, junior P.J. Copes ran 15 yards to score, and the home team pulled ahead 14-0.

Decatur junior Andrew Borradaile boosted the Seahawks’ advantage to 20-0, crossing the goal line after a 5-yard run, with 1:26 to play before the halftime break.

About four minutes into the third quarter, Borradaile ran the ball two yards to increase his team’s lead 26-0.

Decatur recovered the ball on the kickoff and Copes sprinted 30 yards into the end zone. Case’s kick put the Seahawks squad on top 33-0 with 8:02 remaining in

the third quarter.

Washington scored twice in the fourth quarter and senior Brandon Durden contributed Decatur’s final points of the contest.

Copes led the offense, rushing 11 times for 118 yards. Mapp ran the ball 12 times for 73 yards. Borradaile carried the ball six times for 44 yards and Durden racked up 57 yards on three runs.

“We ran the ball pretty well,” Knox said.

Senior quarterback Collin Macomber was 4-for-9 throwing for 50 yards.

The Decatur defense was led by junior Chase Sams with seven tackles. Seniors Ryan Kail, Colin May and Durden each made three tackles.

The Indian River Indians will travel to Berlin tonight, Friday, for a 6 p.m. match-up with the Seahawks. The Indians went undefeated in 2011 and are the defending DIAA Div. II champions.

Junior P.J. Copes carries the ball for Stephen Decatur during the Aug. 31 season opener against Washington in Berlin. Copes led the Decatur offense, rushing 11 times for 118 yards. He scored two touchdowns in his team’s 40-14 victory.

mains solid, consistently making par after par to remain among the top of the leaderboard,” Krall said. “Danny Parker had his first varsity showing and was one of the four scores we used, so I was happy for him to contribute to the team’s victory. And Matt just had a couple bad finishing holes; otherwise, he would have broken 40 on the day.”

Although Decatur won the match, Krall said there is still plenty of work to be done. He said his players would agree they are capable of shooting lower than they did last week. It’s all about concentration and determination, he said.

“In order to be competitive at the state tournament, they must be able to find a way to ‘get in the zone’ and stay there the entire round. There is always a higher level of talent in the 3A/4A classification across the bridge, so we can’t be complacent with scores above 40,” he said. “This year’s team has the talent, they just need to stay determined and focused through-

out the regular season.”

On Tuesday, Decatur was victorious at River Run Golf Course in Berlin with a score of 166. Washington finished in second place during the eight-school match with a 189.

Iacona led Decatur with a 39. He and Wi-Hi’s Tyler Joven earned co-medalist honors. Urban (41), sophomore Delaney Iacona (42) and Ruggiere (44) also contributed in the win.

“They still played solid golf, but conditions were less than favorable,” Krall said Tuesday.

It rained before the match and there was standing water on parts of the fairway, so Krall said he expected scores to be higher. It was also the first time many of the golfers had played on River Run’s back nine holes.

“It gave the players a challenge,” he said. “We won our first match by 16 points, the second match by 18 points and [Tuesday] we won by 23 points.

We’re keeping our distance from the pack and I feel comfortable about our progress, but there’s plenty of room for improvement.”

BANK RECOGNIZES WEEK 1 DECATUR MVP The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the broadcast of the Stephen Decatur High School football games each week on WQMR 101.1 FM. Following each game, a most valuable player is chosen and, as part of its annual $500 pledge, the bank makes a donation to the Stephen Decatur High School Athletic Boosters in that player’s name.

We are fortunate that we have several local breweries and wineries right in our back yard,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the HMRA. “Our association has worked in partnership with Worcester

County Tourism and D3Corp to recently launch www.toastourcoast.com which highlights the breweries and wineries in driving distance from Ocean City.”

Tickets for the beer festival cost $25 in advance and may be purchased at Hooper’s today (Friday), at Cheers stores in Berlin and Salisbury, and at Burley Oak Brewery in Berlin. Tickets cost $35 at the door the day of the outdoor event. Ticket holders will receive admission to the craft beer festival and a sampling glass for unlimited tastings.

New this year, for $55, guests can also indulge in a crab feast while tasting the beers.

“Nothing goes better with beer than crabs,” said Hooper’s General Manager Ryan Intrieri.

The restaurant will also be open during the event.

Attendees must be 21 or older and have a valid ID. The first 500 people through the gate will receive a special commemorative glass.

Approximately 45 brewing companies, offering more than 100 beers and ales, are scheduled to attend. Local companies that will be represented at the festival include 16 Mile (Georgetown, Del.), Evolution (Salisbury), Burley Oak (Berlin), Dogfish Head (Milton and Rehoboth Beach, Del.) and Hooper’s Crab House’s own Fin City Brewing Co. When Vince Wright, a brewer, approached Hooper’s management team about two years ago during the festival with the suggestion of brewing their own beer, the idea piqued their curiosity.

“He asked if we would ever consider making our own beer for the restaurant. We told him we never really thought about it, but we were intrigued,” Intrieri said in May. Intrieri said he and Manager Patrick Brady started crunching some figures. They then began assembling and constructing a brewery in Mike Glavich’s — manager of Sneaky Pete’s, the dock bar

outside Hooper’s — garage.

The five 150-gallon kettles have been set up in Hooper’s for the past year, and Fin City Brewing Co., which operates on the second floor of the restaurant, began brewing beer on site in April.

Fin City Brewing Co. beers that will be featured during the festival are Fin Light, Sneaky Wheat, Pale Ale, Jackspot Amber and Blueberry Ale. Some of the other brewing companies that will be on hand include Clipper City, Lagunitas, Great Divide, Oskar Blues, New Belgium, Harpoon, Fordham, Flying Dog and Sam Adams.

Musician Dan Shivers will provide the entertainment during the festival.

Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase full bottles of any beer. Before leaving the event, patrons can also build their own six packs to go, mixing any type of beer or ale.

(Sept. 7, 2012) In November 2008, at the age of 34, Michele Hogsett was diagnosed with breast cancer. While the Millsboro, Del. resident battled the disease, she received assistance from the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition.

To show her appreciation, Hogsett organized a (Save the ...)

BreastFest fundraising event to benefit the organization in 2009.

Since its inception, more than $3,000 has been raised for the organization by way of the annual fall event.

While planning the fourth annual BreastFest, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 13, at Pickles Pub on Eighth Street in Ocean City, Hogsett has been fighting cancer again. After a fall last spring, doctors discovered cancer in her hip and pelvis areas.

She is currently taking medication to keep the cancer from spreading.

“I started planning the first one while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. My cancer has since metastasized to my bones, but I am determined to keep having this event as long as I can,” she said in an e-mail.

The 2012 (Save the...) BreastFest, sponsored by Pickles Pub and Semiblind Entertainment, will begin at 7 p.m. The musical line-up for the Sept. 13 event includes Lauren Glick and the Moodswingers, Elwood, Lipstick Molly, Witches Brew and Perception. Hogsett’s band, Semiblind, will perform as well.

Pickles Pub will offer drink specials during the festivities.

Other activities going on that evening include a 50/50 raffle See FREE on Page 56

Eight Brandywine residents pose for pinup-style calendar LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 7, 2012) Eight residents — six women and two men — of Brandywine Senior Living at Fenwick Island are featured in a pinup-style 12-month calendar, to be released during a party at the facility on Tuesday, Sept. 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.

The calendar was created in conjunction with National Assisted Living Week, held Sept. 9-15. The theme for the 2012 NALW is “Art for the Ages.”

“We celebrate that [theme] very much here at Brandywine,” said Kathleen Jacobs, director of community relations for the Selbyville, Del. senior living facility.

While coordinating activities for Brandywine residents during NALW that follow the theme, Jacobs suggested residents do a pinup-style calendar.

“I like to be creative and different,” she said. “It’s in celebration of the art of pinup modeling and the art of photography.

Pin-up is their generation of art.”

Michelle Wells of Robin Walter Salon and Day Spa, fixed the models’ hair and Kyle Hughes of Next Wave Studios snapped the photos for the calendar.

Photo shoot locations included the Roxana Fire Department, Bayside Resort Community, Ocean City Airport, Stinky Beach in

CALENDAR PINUP MODELS: ■ Shirley Sylvester, age 89, WWII U.S. Army Nurse ■ Martha Daisey, age 84, Baltimore County School System educator (retired) ■ Sam Pennell, age 90, WWII - U.S. Navy USS Fortune #146 South Pacific, 1944-1945, retired machinist and stained glass crafter ■ Lila Pennell, age 86, former homemaker and current community volunteer ■ Jimmy Dieter, age 78, Baltimore City Fire Department Truck #11, 1954-1970 ■ Wilma Evans, age 81, former activities director and clothing model ■ Lee DeMarie, age 79, retired real estate secretary ■ Mary Timmons age 92, retired community volunteer

“All of the women got very much into it, and so did the men. It was such a fun day,” Jacobs said. The models range in age from 78-92. “They had such a blast.

Many of them said ‘I feel young again.’”

Jacobs said about 100 calendars have already been pre-ordered. They will official debut on Tuesday, Sept. 11, at Brandywine. During the party, which is open to See PROCEEDS on Page 63

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your ideas earn you the respect of your colleagues. But you’ll have to present some hard facts and figures if you hope to persuade those who make the big decisions to support you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep those bright Bull’s eyes focused on the project at hand. Avoid distractions. There’ll be lots of time for fun and games later. Expect to get welcome news this weekend.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You soon might have to decide about moving a relationship from its current status to another level. Don’t let anyone influence your decision. It must be yours and yours alone.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You finally can get off that emotional roller coaster and get back to focusing on your goals without interruptions through the rest of the week. A nice change is due by the weekend.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Trying to make an impression on some people runs into a bit of a snag at first, but it all works out. An old and almost forgotten personal matter once again needs attention.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A rise in your energy level helps you finish an especially demanding task.

Take some time now to spend with family and friends before starting a new project.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) This is a good time to re-establish contact with trusted former associates who might be able to offer good advice regarding that career change you’ve been contemplating.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your resourcefulness combined with a calm, cool approach help you work your way out of a knotty situation and avoid a potentially serious misunderstanding.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A calm, quiet period allows you to recharge your energies.

But you’ll soon be ready to saddle up and gallop off in pursuit of your goals.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters need your attention. Check things out carefully.

There still might be unresolved tensions that could hinder your efforts to repair damaged relationships.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It’s a good time to take a stand and show as much passion on your own behalf as you do when arguing for the rights of others. You might be happily surprised by the reaction.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You bring sense and sensitivity to a confusing situation. Things soon settle down, leaving you free to enjoy a weekend of fun and relaxation with friends and family.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a talent for being able to perceive possibilities where others see only problems.

Crazy summer finally coming to a close SENIOR SLANT

Seniors will miss friendly seasonal staff in resort IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) It’s been a long, long, time from May to September. Seniors will really miss the smiling faces of the ever so attractive and personable summertime help. On the very first self-serve day, I missed the table by a foot with my ice cold drink. No complaints on that hot, hot day from my splattered table mates.

Would you buy that the eyes ain’t what they used to be? Of course not. You guessed it, this old broad is incapable of doing two things at once. If you think I didn’t whine over a spilled prepaid ice cold drink, think again. I’ve been tempted many a time to cry over spilled milk, especially if it wiped out the green veggies on my kid’s plate.

In retrospect, the veggie hating kid smartened up fast. Years later, when we moved, the Kemps found mounds of unidentifiable greens stashed in books and in his favorite Christmas gift, a big metal Tonka garbage truck, conveniently located on a nearby bookshelf.

With the elections coming up, I’m not asking what I can do for my country; I’m asking what our “county” can do for the area’s seniors. We wanna’ know where the county stashed all those daylight saving hours. We really, really, need them. A devastating thought! Could they be wastin’ away in a warehouse in downtown Selbyville?

Decorative bra contest under way Free event features live music, raffles, info Continued from Page 49

(Sept. 7, 2012) To raise funds for breast cancer screenings for needy Marylanders, the state chapter of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® will hold a “Bras for Our Cause” event from 79 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 10, at The Grand Hotel on 21st Street in Ocean City.

“Supporters” have designed and decorated bras, which are posted online at www.brasforourcause.com.

Visitors may vote for their favorite bra online — $10 for 10 votes — or wait to vote on Sept. 10, when male models will don the designs, which will be raffled off.

The “Bras for a Cause” event will also feature a silent auction and music. Tickets to the event cost $20 and include one drink and light appetizers.

A large portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Coalition for breast cancer screenings and mammograms for indigent, underinsured and uninsured women in Maryland.

For tickets or additional information, visit www.brasforourcause.com or contact Dianna Darney at diannadarney@comcast.net or 410812-0763.

“This year we had a lot of good support,” said Hogsett, Semiblind’s lead singer. “All the bands volunteered and people sent us raffle prizes. Ocean City is a very supportive area.”

There is no cost to enter BreastFest, but organizers are asking for a $5 donation — which includes a raffle ticket — to the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. The nonprofit group will have a table set up at the party with information about breast cancer and self-breast exams, as well as merchandise for sale. “[DBCC] is a great resource.

They help people all over the Shore,” Hogsett said. “They know where to send you even if you’re not from Delaware. They’re a good advocate for women with breast cancer.”

The objective of the event is to raise breast cancer awareness and emphasize the importance of selfbreast exams and early detection.

Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. at 27th Street and the boards. Riders will line up around 11 a.m. and travel along the Boardwalk to North Division Street, where they will park and walk to the memorial for the Day of Remembrance ceremony.

The cost to participate in the parade is $10 per bike. The first 300 participants will receive ride pins.

Proceeds will help the Chapter 3 Red Knights send Maryland children to the Delaware Burn Camp at Camp Barnes in Frankford. Children ages 6-18 who have sustained serious burn injuries are invited to attend the summer camp, which is designed to assist young burn victims “in their adjustment to injury through the provision of a safe, supportive environment.”

John Tartufo, treasurer of the local Chapter 3 Red Knights, said approximately 300 people took part in the 2011 ride, as a large crowd gathered around the Firefighter Memorial to watch the ceremony. Last year, Chapter 3 Red Knights Club hosted the organization’s International Convention, Sept. 8-11. Approximately 300 Red Knights from throughout the United States, Europe and Canada attended the conference and a number of them participated in the Sept. 11 ceremony.

The ride is open to all motorcyclists, not just members of the Red Knights. The parade and ceremony will take place rain or shine.

Members of the local Red Knights Motorcycle Club/Maryland Chapter 3 lead riders along the Boardwalk to the Ocean City Firefighter Memorial at Division Street last year during the seventh annual “9/11 Memorial Ride.” The parade was followed by the “9/11 A Day of Remembrance Ceremony” at the memorial.

Crab feast, after-party beer bash added to ‘Brews’ 2012 line-up Continued from Page 49

ers cost $10. Price includes admission and unlimited soft drinks.

Blake Haley will take the stage during the new after-party beer bash from 5-9 p.m. There will also be a cornhole tournament with prizes awarded, and beer sold at discounted prices. Growlers will be available for purchase that attendees can fill with their favorite beer(s).

“It’s a liquidation sale. Everything must go,” Intrieri said.

The beer bash was added this year because, Intrieri said, “we got a lot of requests from people that once the beer festival was over, they wanted to stay and hang out.”

Taxicabs and a shuttle bus will be available, as organizers encourage safe and responsible drinking.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House By

The Sea, which provides ill children and their families a chance to vacation at the beach, during a time when they might not otherwise be able to afford a getaway on the coast.

The inaugural beer festival in 2009 was the brainchild of Clear Channel Radio Manager Jefferson Ward. Before he moved to the resort from Philadelphia in

2008, Ward was involved with the launch of a successful beer festival in that area.

Ward wanted to stage a craft beer event in the Ocean City area, and after scoping out venues, Hooper’s turned out the be the perfect spot for the first-ever festival. Approximately 400 people attended the inaugural Brews on the Beach, which was a pleasant surprise and exceeded all expec-

tations, Brady said after the event. More than 400 took part in the festivities in 2010. Because the festival was expanding, the event was moved to a tent in the parking lot last year. Intrieri said approximately 535 guests attended.

For information, call 410-213-1771, or visit www.hooperscrabhouse.com or www.facebook.com/brewsonthebeach.

Ceremony honors fallen family, friends, firefighters Continued from Page 59

During the service, which typically lasts about an hour, a wreath will be placed at the base of the memorial. Chapter 3 Red Knights President Eddie Kukta will say a few words and several others will also speak.

“We do this in memory of those who

lost their lives that day and to honor fallen firefighters,” Kukta said.

After the ceremony, riders will head to Hooter’s on 123rd Street for lunch.

A majority of the Chapter 3 club’s members are from the lower shores of Maryland and Virginia. The organization, founded in December 2002, has approx-

imately 100 members who are fire service personnel, supporters and their families.

More than 36 fire companies are represented in Chapter 3.

Ocean City Beach Patrol begins ‘fall guarding’ schedule in Sept.

ON GUARD

Fewer lifeguards patrolling resort beach this time of yr.

KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer

PHOTO COURTESY OCBP

Pictured is one of the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s mobile rescue units, which is equipped to make surf rescues, respond to all medical emergencies and maintain a communication link during an emergency. Both driver and rescue swimmer are certified surf rescue technicians.

(Sept. 7, 2012) Labor Day marks the traditional end of the summer season and begins what the Ocean City Beach Patrol refers to as “fall guarding.” Fall guarding is different from guarding during the summer months and has many unique challenges.

During this period, we are in a reduced coverage mode with fewer lifeguard towers and surf rescue technicians patrolling the beach.

This reduction in personnel is an annual occurrence with an earlier start of college classes and the return of our education professionals to school systems through-

out the U.S. Additionally, tropical storm activity in the Atlantic is at its peak during this time and contributes to rougher surf. This heavy surf contributes to the frequency and severity of rip currents, which account for 95 percent of surf rescues. With fewer guards on the beach and stands that are farther apart, guards may have to run two blocks (200 meters) to rescue a victim, whereas, in the summer, they need only run 50 meters.

To increase safety and coverage of the beach, the beach patrol relies more heavily on its motorized support vehicles to patrol between stands. This enables them to provide backup if the need should arise.

Although we have less available personnel, the beach patrol remains committed to providing surf rescue technicians along the entire beach for all visitors and residents.

So rather than have unguarded areas, the number of available lifeguard towers are equally distributed along the beachfront.

As this redistribution occurs, the location and distance between stands changes. We will continue to provide coverage from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. along all 10 miles of Ocean City beaches until SunSee RESORT on Page 63

day, Sept. 23. This coverage will be done with fewer personnel and lifeguard towers; however, 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 surf rescue technician (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.

Another difference you may notice during the fall season is where surfing is allowed. OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin will modify the ordinance that restricts surfing and allow surfing along the entire beach, except where guards are posted. The beach patrol

keeps the swimmers in front of or near their stand, and surfers are encouraged to congregate away from the swimmers.

This is a time of the year the surfers enjoy. They can surf while the patrol is on duty and not be confined to designated surfing beaches like they are during the summer. They must still utilize an ankle leash and remain 50 yards from the nearest swimmer.

Having surfers in the vicinity often proves valuable in saving lives. It is helpful to have the extra flotation devices in the water at this time of year when the coverage is spread over larger spans of beach. It is not unusual for surfers to aid a distressed swimmer and keep them afloat until a surf rescue technician can reach them and take them safely back to shore. Although surfing restrictions have been modified, the beach patrol still reserves the right to prohibit surfing in certain areas or under certain conditions.

The use of skim boards and other watercraft (kite surfers, windsurfers, paddleboards, kayaks, etc) is still prohibited.

Though fall guarding is different than guarding during July, the first priority of the beach patrol continues to be public safety. To aide your SRT, the beach patrol suggests taking extra precautions and make sure to walk the short distance to swim in the vicinity of a lifeguard stand.

We strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any water-related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device.

Guard stand placement may relocate daily as conditions change. The exact location of guard stands is available every day by calling Beach Patrol Headquarters at 410-289-7556 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Burger competition complicated; appetizer recipe, not so much FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Eggplant, mozzarella and chicken swirls innovative DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 7, 2012) Summer is a season of variable degrees and countless possibilities; highways once jammed with tourists are finally dwindling to the tune “back to normalcy.” Locals share the same look of exhaustion; “auto-pilot” takes on new meaning. I must confess looking back I do not know how I managed five jobs. But fortunately for me, the big five has faded to a modest three.

Now that I have a life again, cooking contests are my new passion. How does one go about creating a dish worthy of the big bucks? Soul searching is a given. We all possess uniqueness and creativity. The challenge is tapping into our individuality and allowing the artistic juices to flow.

Just recently I entered Sutter’s Home Build A Better Burger contest. The competition is in December and the grand prize is worth $100,000. I went online to see the past winners. The last thing I want to do is enter a recipe that resembles a past winner. After much deliberation, I decided on a mole burger with a cactus slaw and avocado mayo.

After much testing, I had to take a “private moment” and question my knowl-

edge and experience on Mexican cuisine; after all, $100,000 equates very tough competition.

I realized my recipe sounded good on paper, but my inexperience prompted me to forego “Sizzling Senorita.”

I only had a few weeks and my time was limited, to say the least. Out of desperation, I asked myself, “what style of cooking is your best?” I came up with “soul cooking” — more specifically, my collard greens. They did not seem conducive for a burger, but Nanny (who passed several months ago) adored my greens. I made up my mind I was going to dedicate this recipe to Nanny so I stuck with the idea and went back to the drawing board.

Collard greens could be part of a relish.

The next component of the condiment was bacon. Collard greens and bacon drippings are a marriage made in heaven, and bacon is a scrumptious additive to one of America’s favorite sandwiches. The ratio of three is much more interesting than a duo combination. I needed one more ingredient to complete the relish. I decided on onions.

Raw, sautéed, white or red deluged my mind. Because of all the savory elements in the relish, I needed to introduce some acidity. I decided pickled onions were the answer. But this last additive raised two questions: could white onions pickle in two hours and would they stand up to the

pickling process without losing their integrity? As it turned out, red onions, sliced paper thin on a mandolin, were thin enough to pickle in the short time given and also retained their crunchiness. My relish is now complete.

The theme of my burger is soul cooking.

I needed some crunch; contrast in textures is imperative. My mandolin comes to the rescue again. Sweet potato, turnip and beet chips would provide a nice crunch and add bright colors to the presentation.

The actual burger was my next challenge. I needed flavor to coincide the “soul cooking” theme, but I also wanted the beef to remain to its true flavor.

I decided on a paste-like marinade that would be brushed on the entire circumference of the burger as opposed to mixing it in with the ground beef. Butter was an essential ingredient because it helps the charring process. Soulful Seasoning salt, beef marinade, Tabasco sauce, Liquid Smoke, cumin and coriander were some of the ingredients that made up my “soulful marinade.”

One last consideration — to add or forgo cheese. I felt the burger needed a creamy element, but I did not want to overpower it. I whipped mascarpone, Shallot and Chive Boursin cheese, and fresh lemon juice. Using my hands, I formed a little ball that would be tucked in the patties as a surprise.

“Soul cooking” has never taken the grand prize. Maybe 2012 is the year for “Burger with Soul.” Because of the rules of

the contest, I cannot provide the actual recipe, but I can provide you with another creative dish that is worthy of accolades.

Eggplant, chicken and mozzarella swirls are an innovative dish that can be presented as an appetizer, passed hors d’oeuvres, or main course. Simply pound out chicken breasts and brine for 24 hours.

Slice an eggplant into thin layers; do not forget to salt the flesh for at least 30 minutes to remove any bitterness. Add shredded mozzarella between the chicken and eggplant, but leave a 2-inch border. Roll ingredients to form a log.

Lightly dust chicken log with flour.

Whisk eggs and a splash of water in a bowl. Then slowly pour egg mixture onto a plate. Very carefully apply egg wash on the entire surface of the chicken log. The last of the preparation is to roll the chicken log in seasoned panko breadcrumbs.

Place a deep sauté pan over mediumhigh heat with at least 1 1/2 inches of canola oil. When the oil is hot, carefully lower chicken log into pan. When the edges start to turn a golden brown color, roll log to allow the other side to cook. Cool on a cookie rack so the excess oil can drain and remain crispy. If one is serving it as a main course, a side of pasta with your favorite marinara sauce is suggested. Thinking out of the box is the foundation for ingenuity.

Secret Ingredient: Competition.

“After the game the King and pawn go to the same box” … Italian proverb.
