It may not have been the busiest beach day of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t for the lack of good weather, which drew hundreds of thousands of people to the resort for the Labor Day holiday. Businesses throughout Ocean City reported positive results for the weekend.
(Sept. 11, 2015) Sunny skies and clear weather paved the way for one of the best summers in years, according to local merchants and business leaders, culminating in an endof-summer Labor Day bonanza.“Ithink the crowds were fantastic and it had to be one of the busiest Labor Day weekends in a long time,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “I was on the Boardwalk and up and down Coastal Highway and it was as crowded as I’ve ever seenToit.”his surprise, Meehan said that crowd lingered. “A lot of people stayed late. [Monday] night I saw a surprising amount of people” still on the Boardwalk and still patronizing local businesses. Jessica Waters, the town’s communications manager, estimated the weekend crowd at 300,000, with a summer total of about 4 million.

A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources found the girl roughly a quarter-mile off shore. CPR was performed, and continued after the girl was brought into the Coast Guard station, and then taken by ambulance to Atlantic General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.The girl was from Willards. Responders were given conflicting information on her date of birth, Arbin said, but she was either seven or eight years of age. Later on Saturday, at roughly 11:30 p.m., 37-year-old James Benjamin Lenhart of Souderton, Pa., was reported missing in the area of Caroline Street and the beach.
A search of the beachfront for many blocks revealed no indication as to Lenhart’s whereabouts, or that he had come ashore at any point. At first light on Sunday, the Coast Guard initiated a search at sea, which was assisted by the Maryland State Police and the Maryland Natural Resources Police, with several helicopters involved, according to a city release. That search was called off after several hours. On the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 8, Lenhart’s body was found in the water at the inlet. Further, Arbin said that OCBP Lt. Skip Lee also reported a near-drowning incident on Sunday, Sept. 6, at around 8 a.m. A young boy was swimming in the inlet and struggling to stay “Skipafloat.wasdriving down the beach and happened to be at the inlet right at the right time to see the child struggling,” Arbin said. “He was actually submerged by the time Skip swam out to him. If Skip hadn’t been there at that moment, we’d be looking at a third death.” With manpower dropping at the end of the summer, the OCBP deployed 42 guard stands over Labor Day weekend, compared to the peak complement of 90. Rescues were not as heavy as they had been the previous two weeks, with 18 on Saturday and 90 on Sunday – compared to a whopping 357 on Aug. 29, for example.Labor Day’s deaths, Arbin said, reiterated that the OCBP’s greatest challenge is not manpower, however, but rather continuing to spread the message to stay out of the water when guards are not on duty. “The reality is that there are a lot less off-duty calls than there used to be,” Arbin said. “It’s getting better. Still, even one death, especially when it’s a seven-year-old girl, is still too many.”
(Sept. 11, 2015) Despite what were reportedly easier ocean conditions than during the previous week, the resort saw two people lose their lives and another come within inches of it – in the water over Labor Day weekend.Although the Ocean City Beach Patrol reported a comparative drop in rescues over the holiday, guards’ intervention would not have made a difference, with all three instances occurring while the Beach Patrol was not on “That’sduty.my biggest frustration with all of these things, is that they’re preventable if people would simply just not get in the water when we’re not there,” said OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin. On the evening of Saturday, Sept. 5, at approximately 7 p.m., the city received 911 calls for young girl in distress off the beach at the inlet. Responders were initially told the girl had fallen off the inlet rocks, Arbin said, although accounts from other witnesses indicated this was not what caused her to be taken out to sea, but rather that she had been standing near the rocks when struck by a wave.

School bus struck by car; no serious injuries reported
(Sept. 11, 2015) Two injuries, one minor, were reported after a motorist ran into the back of a Worcester County school bus on Route 589 shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. The Maryland State Police from the Berlin Barrack reported that one student complained of a minor injury after Peggy Barbara Howard, 88, of Ocean View, Del. apparently failed to stop her 2001 Ford Crown Victoria in time to avoid a collision with a bus carrying 38 Berlin Intermediate School and Stephen Decatur Middle SchoolPolicestudents.saidHoward was taken to Atlantic General Hospital for injuries she sustained in the crash. The driver of the bus, Brenda Ann Reed of Whaleyville, was not injured. The student who later reported the minor injury was taken to the hospital by his parent. On the scene of the accident were Steve Price from the Worcester County Board of Education, along with Assistant Barrack Commander F/Sgt. Davala, investigating Troopers and the Ocean Pines Fire Department.Howard was charged with negligent driving and failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision. A driver reevaluation request was submitted.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Ocean City Today PAGE 5 agreed to soften its proposed ban on trailers parking on public streets, instead looking to institute a permit system that will make sure that only registered participants in automotive events, and not rowdy hangers-on, are allowed to park their oversize vehicles on public ways. Both measures – the signs and trailer permitting – will not go into effect until May 1 of next year, under the current versions of the ordinances.Thecouncil voted unanimously to pass both measures on first reading, with the second and final reading coming in two weeks. The about-face from City Hall seemed to have come both from resistance by property owners, as well as from some beenweek,duct.toforcethelicetheasmiscommunicationinternaltowhatexactlyOceanCityPo-Departmenthaspowertoen-whenitcomesdisorderlycon-Upuntilthisthecityhadsettopasstwo ordinances that would give police greater powers to curtail roadside activities. The first ordinance banned open containers of alcohol in parking areas that are required, by the city’s zoning code, for any business license holder. Not only would those doing the drinking be subject to fines, and possible arrest, but the business itself could be fined or have its license revoked for allowing consumption to take place. Further, a second ordinance would have prohibited “nuisance uses” of required parking as well as “destructive uses” of landscaping. Similar to parking, landscaped setbacks are required on most all buildings in Ocean City under the zoning code, for both aesthetic purposes as well as to help absorb stormwater runoff.

The city would provide the signs, which would likely be placed in similar locations to city-issued tow signs. Business owners would no longer be liable for keeping people off their property – the only penalty, under the new proposal, is a fine for not posting the signs by May 1. As the discussion progressed, however, there seemed to be some confusion as to how the mechanics of state-city and private-public jurisdictionCurrently,work. city police officers can go onto private property if they see a violation of public order occurring. The city does not need to pass legislation allowing them to do so, and the current proposal would simply mandate signs to remind property owners and guests that the police have that prerogative.“Thelawis already in place. If you have a problem on your property, and we see it or you see it and contact us, we have the right to come in there and take care of the problem,” MeehanButsaid.some seemed to think that the OCPD could only do so if a complaint was made and that the proposed city ordinance was needed to empower the police to go on private property. “A police officer couldn’t just be riding down the highway, see an infraction, and intercede,” observed Councilman and Police Commission Chair Doug Cymek. “Upon passage of the ordinance ... an offense committed in [an officer’s] presence under this ordinance is enforceable, on view [of the offense],” said OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro. However, Ayres’ opinion on how state law reads wasn’t exactly the same.“Ifan officer sees an infraction, he ought to enforce it,” Ayres said. “It does not have to be complaint-driven ... don’t confuse our law requiring signage with the state law on peace and for you to bring them back a of our homemade and

Cruisin’ and H2Oi, in particular, tend to attract a number of unpleasant followers who do not participate in the shows themselves, but rather race up and down Coastal Highway, with the encouragement of (usually intoxicated) spectators who line the road and egg them on. Businesses, however, noted that the proposed ordinances essentially gave the police the ability to dictate how private property could be used, even going so far as to criminalize the act of standing in one’s own landscaping, even if doing so had no discernable impact on adjacent traffic or the public at large. This week, in a nod to such concerns, the city revealed it had decided to pull back. “What is being recommended tonight is that we do withdraw the two ordinances,” Meehan said. “Instead ... we actually look back upon the state law, and state law 10-201 regarding disturbing the public peace and disorderly conduct.” That section of Maryland’s Code defines violations of public peace and good order, which pertains to all “public places.” This includes not only publicly owned property, but publicly accessible private property as well.“Ifyou look at this, the state law is already there to address those situations whether they be on public or private property,” Meehan said. “If you look at this state law and how it can be interpreted, it really makes lot more sense to go in that direction. That’s a law that’s already on the books. All we’re doing is recognizing it.”The new proposed ordinance would require all properties with parking areas fronting Coastal Highway, Philadelphia Avenue, or Baltimore Avenue to post a sign reminding visitors of the state’s public space doctrine. A suggested, simplified wording is “Warning: Disturbing the public peace and disorderly conduct is a violation of state law.”“It makes sure all the property owners understand the law,” Meehan said. “It means all the property owners are on notice and know what the law is. It’s also posted on their property for their patrons and visitors ... hopefully they’ll adhere to it, but if not the property owner can clearly state ‘look at the sign.’”

The city still plans to lease the West Ocean City Park and Ride, and the 100th Street library parking lot, to event promoters for additional parking for participants. “Basically, they would have two options for parking – one, pay to park on the street with a permit, or two, pay nothing and park at the Park and Ride,” Meehan said. “This will cut back on trailers brought in by what we call the ‘wannabes’ and those who come to disrupt the events.”

good order and disorderly conduct. The police can already enforce that law. They don’t need this ordinance to do Althoughthat.” dozens of business owners were at Tuesday night’s meeting, relatively few spoke, given the abrupt change in direction. Although seemingly appreciate that the city was being less heavy-handed, some questioned what was actually being accomplished.“Ithinkthe police should feel free to do what they need to do, I just have concerns about why we’re putting more signage up,” said Jay Taustin of The Embers restaurant. “We’ve got fire signs up, tow signs up ... now we have a new law we’re putting in place and we have another sign for that.”

The ordinance would, however, maintain an outright ban on trailer parking on Baltimore Avenue, given the narrow width of the road’s parking lanes. Trailers are often seen sticking out of the lane, or with one wheel riding up on the sidewalk to fit.
“I would ask for some input from businesses in the next week to make sure we’re on target with the market price,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight.

(Sept. 11, 2015) The White Marlin Open, one of — if not the — premier sportfishing events in the world, was featured in a segment on 60 Minutes Sports on Tuesday, but will be run several times this month on Showtime channels, and available on demand through the Showtime Anytime service. “It’s really nice how they portrayed the tournament and Ocean City,” founder Jim Motsko said. “We’ve been working on this since last October and I’m enjoying a little bit of the afterglow.” The segment was hosted by Mo Rocca, a correspondent for “CBS This Morning,” a regular panelist on NPR’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” and former correspondent on “The Daily Show.”“He’s a genius and he’s really quick on his feet. I wouldn’t want to get into any verbal battles with him. He really had it together and was very professional,” MotskoMotskosaid.said he was thankful for the authentic representation and professionalism shown by the film crew in what had to be a challenging few days out at sea following the participants. “I don’t know how to top this or if I ever could. They showed us to the world and I’m grateful it occurred,” Motsko said.For his part, Rocca has a little bit of explaining to do. In the promotional clip for the show, Rocca calls Ocean City “very“Really,honky-tonk.”whatImeant by ‘honky-tonk’ is old-timey and magical,” Rocca said. Rocca, who grew up in Bethesda and frequented the resort during his younger days, admits to having fond memories of the“Wearea.would pool our money and get a house or apartment for a week, and I totally understand if the residents thought we were a scourge. One of my earliest memories in life is going to Jolly Roger on the Pier and the haunted house on the Boardwalk,” he said.
Rocca gave producer Alan Weisman credit for insisting on following the White Marlin Open, held Aug. 3-7, for the show, but also described how his own interest was piqued. “I’m very interested in how people have fun. For me, ‘have fun out there’ is a meaningless phrase, they have an avocation they’ve really invested themselves in, and they’re doing something while on ‘vacation’ that requires a lot of dedication and hard work,” Rocca said. For his part, Rocca threw himself into the event and into the ocean as well. He can be seen leaping from one boat onto the “No Limit,” and eating raw fish freshly fileted by local dynamo Rose Stivers. “I had no compunction about eating the raw fish she handed me,” he said. “So much of the piece is about the color of the event.”
SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Ocean City Today PAGE 9 end as “steady” — meaning on par with the previous year. The weather this year is consistent with last year, in that there was no rain or other weather event that could affect resort commerce. “It was a fantastic weekend and the weather was perfect,” Ocean City Chamber Director Melanie Pursel said. “Businesses were packed and happy. Some markets in New York and New Jersey didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day, so that gave us an extra week or two.” Capt. Butch Arbin of the Ocean City Beach Patrol said except for the incidents reported, which occurred outside of the times guards are on duty, the number of rescues this year are “within about 50” of last year’s total. As for the weekend, Arbin said a nor’easter moving offshore negated dangerous rip currents and led to presumably safer swimming. “Overall the weekend was fantastic,” Susan Jones, director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, said. “There were some rooms available on Friday, but on Saturday and Sunday a good majority were full. I was in the resort during the weekend and I only saw a handful of hotels with vacancies and the parking lots were all full.” Local businesses were delighted with the“Itoutcome.wasexcellent — I don’t know how it could have been better,” said Macky Stansell, owner of Macky's Bayside on 54th Street. “The days last year we were rained out were up this year, and last year’s up days rained this year.” Stansell said his business was up about six percent on the year. On the Boardwalk, Chris Trimper of Trimper’s Amusements was also pleased.“I’mvery, very happy with the summer season. We had lots of good times this year,” he said. “Summer was very good to us,” said Gary Figgs, vice president of Seacrets on 49th Street. “I hope everything continues the way it has been.”

The fact that Worcester has anything socked away at all — however slim, especially in the BoE’s case — is a significant improvement over the conditions seen nationwide prior to the 2008-2009 fiscal year. In FY09, the Government Accounting Standards board’s Rule 45 (GASB 45) went into effect for all

County mulls long-term state of retiree medical trust funds
Despite math error, OPEB accounts’ future unaffected as benefit cuts considered
The CAFR is a reporting tool, a dense 150-page book full of charts and accounting documentation. It is designed to provide a snapshot of the county finances during a specific period. The format is not without its problems as certain expenditures or fund balances move quickly, or fail to take certain forms of context into account.“The big one out there for us, other than the public obviously,” Thompson explained when asked who makes decisions based upon CAFR data, “is the bond rating agencies. They are comparing our data with everyone else’s data to make sure we are in line with everyone else relative to revenue, relative to pension-to-debt — you name it.” With the caveat that there are a number of factors involved that the bond rating agencies use to make their determination in ranking the relative creditworthiness of an entity, Thompson said, “The quick one, no question, is the funded ratio.”
(Sept. 11, 2015) Though it has little effect on the county’s ability to provide health coverage to its employees past and present, Worcester County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) has been massively overstating the funding ratio percentage since 2009. In the recent debate by the Worcester County Commissioners over whether to end spousal and dependent health coverage for retirees, the pivotal question was exactly how the county’s financial position is in when it comes to funding these benefits.Not quite as good as one might believe, given that the county’s CAFR lists the aggregate funding level of the two retiree health funds (one for board of werefunds,countypercentfundsingpears31numberpercentemployees)theemployees,educationoneforcounty’sdirectat82in2014.Infact,thisisclosertopercent,asitap-thatthefund-ratiosofboth(65and17fortheandBoErespectively)mistakenlyadded together, instead of taking the sum of their assets, divided by the sum of their liabilities, which yields an aggregate ratio of about 31 percent. In 2013, the funded ratio was reported to be 72.6 percent, but is actually closer to 27 percent. In 2012 and 2011, the ratio was reported to be 82.7 percent but is about 32 percent. In 2010 and 2009 it was reported to be 96.8 percent funded but is closer to 37 percent. The reports are generated from actuarial data gathered every two years, which is why some years’ numbers are similar. “Once the notes are done, we’re typically updating them year to year,” County Treasurer Phil Thompson said. The notes section of the CAFR is where this information is recorded.“Generally speaking, those notes are our responsibility,” he continued, referring to himself and County Administrator Harold Higgins. “The auditors assist us with the preparation of that document. Everything in there is audited by the auditors to make sure it’s tied to the actuarial study.”This ensures the data is uniform in presentation, but does not guarantee the math. The Government Finance Officer’s Association presents awards based on adherence to the standards, which Worcester has won multiple times during the time period in question. Last year the GFOA distributed about 4,100 awards to governments and other agencies. There are about 3,100 county-equivalents within the United“ThereStates.are certain items on our checklist that, if checked, wouldn’t get the award. Auditors check the numbers, we ensure the requirements are being met,” GFOA spokesman Jim Phillips said. Phillips said the math error wouldn’t be enough, on its own, to disqualify Worcester from receiving the award, but it would be something the organization would make note of in their report on the CAFR. As the error was replicated repeatedly, it apparently wentAccordingunnoticed.to Thompson, the county pays an actuary, described as a “study within a study” about $9,000 to produce the TheCAFR.actuary used in 2009 and 2015 is John Ritchie, who said the information he used to produce the report was provided by Worcester County and found in the actuarial study.

“mid-size” governments with annual revenue between $10 and $100 million.GASB 45 required governments to begin showing retiree benefits as an accrued liability, in the same way that pension costs are calculated, rather than simply paying whatever bills came in and showing the cost a single line item expense. The former system is known as “pay as you go.” These funding mechanisms are referred to as Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), and account for all retiree costs other than regular pension checks. While some governments may include life insurance and other fringe benefits in their OPEB funds, the vast majority of the cost is in retiree health care. Per GASB 45, governments must determine, using an actuarial process, the total projected cost of paying for its current group of employees — both those that are currently working and those who have already retired — from the date of retirement until death. Figuring this out is not easy, and is dependent upon studying the group’s ages, projected dates of retirement, lifespan, and exactly what types of healthcare they will consume.“You have to work for the county for 15 years before you are eligible for this,” Higgins said. “There is no history, there are no indicators as to how to come up with what we’ll be using by 2090,” Higgins said. “The unknowns are immense,” Thompson agreed. This total liability is then weighed against the value of assets the government has set aside. Before FY09, when this sort of calculation wasn’t required, most governments had none. Worcester had, anticipating the GASB ruling, set aside a small nest egg to get its fund off the ground in 2004-2005, Thompson said. “The thing I take pride in … we prefunded and put into a trust well before our peers. We set this trust up along with an investment policy to get ahead of the curve,” Higgins said. Still, when comparing those funds to the total liability for the entire workforce, it doesn’t seem like much. The county fund currently has $41.7 million in the bank, for an estimated future liability of $64 million, meaning OPEB is 65 percent funded with $22.3 million in outstanding unfunded liabilities. For the BoE, the gap is much larger — an account of $28.4 million attempts to cover an estimated liability of $163.4 million, a funding level of 17 percent with $135 million leftUnfundedunfunded. liabilities must be shown, per the GASB, on the county’s financial statements, with the intent being that governments should not be able to hide what has become their largest future cost — health care — simply because the employees haven’t actually used it yet.To this end, the GASB also requires that governments pay up on their unfunded liability over a period of time, similar to mortgaging the cost. This expense is amortized over 30 years, a fairly common period, although some governments may accelerate the funding if they have a particularly old employee base

Pulling post-retirement spousal and dependent coverage from new hires, as is being floated by the county commissioners, would have an immediate impact on the county’s ARC deficit, given that new hires’ lower post-retirement health consumption would be factored in to the 30-year“Bottomamortization.line,there’s savings there and once you get out to the 20452050, it’s substantial savings each year and it kind of surprised me that it wasn’t a little bit more. The one thing to keep in mind is that once our employees get to be 65 for Medicare eligibility they have to go to that and ours becomes a supplemental plan — it’s much likely,employeeslargecountyThompsoncheaper,”said.Butunlessthereplacesanumberof—un-giventhe generally long tenure of government workers — this impact will be slight for the first several years. According to the county’s calculations, only about 15 percent of the cost reductions will be realized by 2035 — at that point, 20 years from now, the county will have saved about $1 million in ARC reductions. It will take until around 2080 for the full $18.5 million in ongoing ARC savings to take effect. At the same time, Higgins said he advised the commissioners against changing too many things too quickly, because any derived savings will be unable to be tracked effectively.

whose retirement health costs will come due sooner than if the workforce was more evenly distributed in age.This results in what is termed an Annual Required Contribution (ARC) to the OPEB fund — an amount needed to pay for each year’s normal cost (meaning the amount of healthcare retirees will actually use that year), plus a share of the 30year liability. These levels are adjusted for factors such as health cost rise over 30 years, inflation, and capital gains on the trust fund, which is invested.Theissue for most governments, Worcester included, is that they don’t make all the ARC. The “required” part refers to what is required to keep up with an even 30-year pace of funding, but there’s no legal provision that the county has to contribute that number, as long as any shortfall is shown on the CAFR.For instance, in 2014, Worcester made only half its required contribution to the OPEB trust, putting $2.5 million into the fund out of an adjusted ARC of $5.3 million. Still, given that the county fund started with a surplus in 2009, the fund is still $19.9 million ahead of where it needs to be based on the 30-year amortization.FortheBoE fund, this is not the case. The $2.5 million put into that fund last year was only 13 percent of the adjusted ARC of nearly $19 million. The BoE fund is currently $41.3 million behind where it should be. However, county officials say that, so far, there is no threat to the county’s ability to pay retiree health premiums on a year-to-year basis. The long-term picture is less clear. But if the county moves to cut benefits for new hires, as is being proposed, the effects won’t kick in for quite some time, leading officials to question whether it’s worth making a move given the unclear picture of health care nationwide. “I struggled with the whole concept especially because it’s taking us out to 2090, however, the logic is if we’re hiring a 22-25 year old employee today, potentially that’s going to involve at least 40-60 year lifespan for that individual,” Thompson said. Spousal benefits and potential dependent benefits, even when capped at age 26 for such dependents, can continue much longer under certain circumstances.“Icantellyou from just a budgetary numbers and looking at assessment totals in the current economy it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen 18 months from now — and especially with healthcare costs? I have no idea,” Higgins said. Prescription benefits and implementing a wellness program are areas Higgins said could supply the largest benefit over the shortest time.

Snail mail letter blamed for inaction, Army Corps says determination forthcoming (Sept. 11, 2015) As the Ocean City Inlet continues to fill with sand and sediment affecting recreational, sport and commercial boaters, local officials are waiting – and waiting –for word from the Army Corps of Engineers on whether it will approach the problem by adopting a previous study or conduct a new one.In order to fix the problem permanently, the Army Corps of Engineers needs to determine the cause of the shifting sands. The Corps first studied the issue in 1998, but didn’t implement any fixes apparently recommended within the report. The reason for that lack of action was never fully explained in public. Late last week, Brittany Bangert, a public affairs specialist with the corps, said the decision letter had been sent to Del. Mary Beth Carozza, R-38C, and should be delivered by the end of the week.

(Sept. 11, 2015) The sleeping giant in the debate over restructuring new hire post-employment benefits in Worcester County is the board of education. While the debate has largely focused on county employees and county concerns, the semi-autonomous board of education employs nearly double the number of people, about 1,000, to the county’s 524, according to last year’s financialCstatements.ountyTreasurer Phil Thompson said that school board employees tend to retire earlier — as soon as they hit a certain age, and earn more than rank-and-file county employees.Though there have been several discussions and meetings on the subject, the board of education has been absent from the public forums, and Gary McCabe, the UniServ (Unified Staff Service Program) director for Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties was present at the last one. UniServ is a National Education Association program that looks after the welfare of support personnel.“Historically, the commissioners provide a good plan, but they h aven’t announced their intentions,” McCabe said. “The board of education is the largest employer in Worcester County. There is great interest in this, but these things are negotiable and we’re empowered to negotiate.”Partofit comes down to funding. Worcester County provides the lion’s share of funding for county schools, and those schools are consistently ranked among the best in the state. However, this structure — determined by property values skewed by Ocean City — gives the county a greater degree of control than in neighboring counties. This is how the county commissioners have a hand in determining teachers’“There’sbenefits.nothing certain out there right now,” McCabe said. Beth Shockley-Lynch, head of the Worcester Teacher’s Association, fears the “Withrepercussions.oursalarieslagging and now our benefits lagging I don’t think it promotes the county well,” she said. “If we’re not offering the best pay now, and potentially not the best benefits now, then we’re not attracting the best people.”
PAGE 16 Ocean City Today SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Educators ‘wait to see’ benefit plan
Earlier this year, the commissioners and teachers clashed over salaries, with many teachers in the c ounty invoking “work to rule,” where they fulfilled the duties outlined in their contracts and nothing else. Eventually, the board of education eliminated a number of teacher’s assistant jobs to give it the financial room to reinstate a step increase the commissioners intended them to skip. As part of this year’s annual budget negotiations, the county froze hiring until July 1 and changed the employee contribution to poste mployment healthcare benefits from a 90-10 share to 80-20. The plan also covers spouses and dependents under the age of 26. The commissioners supported the change, but also prepared for f urther discussions prompted by Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, who has said he doesn’t believe the county should be in the business of supplying spouses and dependents with healthcare coverage. Last week, county HR Director Stacey Norton delivered three costsharing plans for new hires. The county commissioners asked for more detail, comparable benefits in neighboring counties specifically, to be examined at a work session scheduled for Oct. 6.

The corps was first expected to r ender a decision on the matter in mid-August, to coincide with another round of emergency dredging to maintain depth. E arlier this year Carozza gathered city, county, state officials, representatives from federal off ices, and envoys from the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Natural Resources, among other interested parties, to discuss the issue.During that meeting, local officials decided to pursue an effort to secure funding for intermittent dredging, while fighting to unearth t he 1998 study or see a new one commissioned.Theissuehad been brought to a head by commercial fisherman Joe Letts, who said he had to relocate his fleet of boats from Ocean City to New Jersey because of delays and damage to his boats because of the inlet’sOften,impassibility.commercial fishing vessels would need to wait for the tide in order to launch their empty ships from the inlet, or to return to port laden with seafood or risk running aground. These delays were common enough to cause complaint, but several fishermen were quick to point out none of their catch had been lost due to the delays. Also this summer a survey vessel mapping the site of a proposed offshore wind farm experienced delays due to an impassible inlet.

(Sept. 11, 2015) One is a novelty. Two is a trend. Even as the Ocean City area continues to grow as a craft beer destination, it seems the cutting edge of the alcohol-tourism industry is now in distilledComingspirits.on the heels of Seacrets’ success with its own line of spirits, the Ocean City Brewing Company has recently expanded under the label of OC Distilling, introducing a line of flavored vodkas. “I think it’s something that’s going to be really popular as Ocean City’s brand continues to grow,” said OCBC owner Josh Shores. The beverages are being produced by a contract distiller in Florida, Shores said, but he plans to go through a process similar to that recently undertaken by Seacrets to allow on-site distilling in Ocean City. Seacrets’ line of branded rums, vodkas and gin are currently produced in Delaware, but the venue got final zoning approval from the city last week to begin construction of an onsite distillery on the south side of 49th Street. Before that, Seacrets was involved in a lengthy process to get legislation passed at the state level to permit distilling in Worcester County. That law, however, only applies to Class D liquor licenses, which are issued to taverns and nightclubs over a certain size, and which do not carry a food-service requirement. OCBC is a Class B establishment, as a restaurant, and thus the current legislation would need to be expanded in Annapolis before distilling would be allowed onsite.“With a Class B license, we cannot have a brewery, distillery and bar/restaurant all under the same roof,” Shores said. “We’re going to have to approach our state representatives to change the law in the same way that Seacrets has.” But even if not produced on-site for the time being, sales of OC Distilling products have been strong, Shores said, with the first production run almost sold out. The vodka comes in four versions: orange, lemonade, strawberry lemonade and unflavored. Grapefruit and saltwater taffy flavors are in the works. Shores distributes the vodka locally through his company, as well as via the county dispensary system. World Class Wholesale distributes the vodkas in Delaware, with plans to expand into Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. Nationwide, craft distilling is a booming market, with sales trends nearly inverse of the 2008 recession. The number of small distillers in the country has shot up to more than 700, from just 92 registered in 2010, according to data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, an industry trade association. The liquor industry drew in $23.1 billion in revenue in 2014, according to DSC data, up from $18.7 billion in 2008. By volume, according to the association, those numbers are around 1.62 billion liters sold in 2008 to roughly 1.85 billion liters last year. Further, the largest growth headroom seems to be in the upper tier of products, where craft distilleries excel. Sales of liquors considered “high end” ($18 to $30 per bottle) or “super premium” ($30 per bottle or more) by the spirits council grew 5.8 and 5.1 percent by volume sales, respectively, last year.Those higher-priced spirits now constitute 28 percent of the total liquor market share by volume, and nearly 50 percent by sales revenue. Sales of council-rated “premium” liquor ($12 to $18 per bottle) were a bit more tepid, at 3.1 percent, while “value” liquor (under $12 per bottle) dropped 1.3 percent.

(Sept. 11, 2015) Local landlord and agent provocateur Tony Christ has earned the dubious title of being the first person to get a ticket for violating the city’s new-for-this-summer Boardwalk performing ordinance.Christwas cited over Labor Day weekend for performing on the Boardwalk without having registered for a designated space, violating city legislation designed to reduce congestion and cut down on overt busker competition.Thespace-registration system for buskers is slated to come to an end Sept. 30, and not start up again until May 1, meaning the inaugural year almost went by without incident. Christ, of course, is not a routine street performer, but went out this past Saturday with the express intent of getting a citation. “I told the officer that I wasn’t going to stop singing unless he gave me a ticket,” Christ said. “I think what the city is doing with the street performers is wrong, but I wasn’t a party to the case. Now I am.”
The Ocean City Police Department confirmed that Christ was given a $200 citation after refusing to cease his performance at 8:50 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5 on the Boardwalk at WicomicoAccordingStreet.to Christ, he began singing the Star Spangled Banner, not asking for tips, but simply attempting to draw a crowd. When told by an officer that this was not allowed, as Christ had not signed up for a designated performance space, Christ said he made it clear he was not stopping without being issued a citation.Christ then went through a number of different tunes, before another officer returned and, having no other option, issued the fine.
Most weeks, several of the 32 spaces from Ninth Street south go unfilled, according to the city clerk’s office. But competition for a handful of spaces on the far south end has become so intense that performers had been camping out overnight at city hall in order to be first in line at the clerk’sChristoffice.believes if he pursues a challenge to his recent citation and fine, the city’s policy stands a chance of being thrown out in court. The city’s previous registration system did suffer that fate in a 2011 lawsuit. After hearing complaints from performers throughout the summer, the city has agreed to make some tweaks to the new policy this off-season, although it’s unlikely the core concept of designated spaces and sign-ups will be going away.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 Ocean City Today PAGE 19 City gives out first busker ticket
Since being rolled out, the new street performer system has not been met well by the performers themselves, who have to come to City Hall on Monday and Friday mornings to sign up for the next week’s placements.The ordinance only applies to the Boardwalk from Ninth Street south, the boards’ most crowded stretch, with the city’s rationale being that performers’ First Amendment rights are not being unduly infringed since there is an ample alternative venue of the same nature - i.e., the northern half of the Boardwalk.
ness owners that you’ve seen in years past.“If the city comes out and makes a few changes after a summer of experience under our belts, I think that goes a long way to creating a good atmosphere.”In2011, the city’s original registration system for street performers was declared void after spray-paint artist Mark Chase challenged the city. US District Court Judge Ellen Hollander ruled that the city’s system was an undue infringement on free speech, given that it didn’t really involve any type of control for the public good, but simply created a barrier to entry. Given that the new ordinance requires registration for demonstrable crowd-control purposes, the city believes it passes muster. There is no way to tell, however, unless someone challenges it. Before enacting the new legislation earlier this year, City Solicitor Guy Ayres requested an opinion from Hollander modifying her previous ruling on the city’s street performer controls. Hollander, however, declined to give an opinion.“There is no case or controversy here,” she wrote in a finding published Aug. 19. “Rather, the town seeks an advisory opinion as to the legality of its new ordinance, even though no challenge has been lodged. It is not appropriate for the court to ascend the pulpit and issue a judicial blessing with regard to the new ordinance.”

“It is an expansion to the existing building,” he said. “It’ll tie in to the existing casino building, but as far as what the interior would hold, we’re not prepared to release that at this point.”Headded that the casino has not request permits to add any additional table games or slot machines. “We did not submit for anything, so there technically is no formal approval,” he said. “The site is eligible to apply, but there has been no formalOceanapproval.”CityToday reported in October 2013 that the Worcester County Planning Commission approved a 35,000 square-foot expansion, along with a back-of-house mezzanine adjacent to the casino and the Ocean Downs Racetrack, in September of that year. At the time, Cavilla provided a few details via a press release dated Sept. 18,“2013Weare expanding because we were limited to the former footprint of the grandstand to accommodate our original proposed slot casino,” he said. “The new building will allow us to spread out the existing operation.“We will be adding a racing sports restaurant to include simulcast wagering with a view of the racetrack, a very large storage area, and larger back-of-the-house operations,” CavillaTadded.herelease said approximately 10 new table games would be included, adding that “seasonal staffing logistics” would need to be solved before submitting anything to the State LotteryAlsoCommission.includedin the release was that the casino did not plan to increase the number of table games it offered, although some of its 800 existing slots could move into the expansion to “enhance aesthetics and player comfort.” The expansion could also include a new viewing area for racing if the casino meets approval, through the Racing Facility Redevelopment Fund, by the State Racing Commission, according to the release.

Cavilla said there was no announcement on what the interior of the building would hold, adding that it was still “to be determined.”
“We are committed to providing an operation that appeals to and excites our customers, enhances the attraction of the Ocean City-Berlin, Maryland resort area and provides stable revenue for our state and local stakeholders,” Cavilla said. “This small expansion will allow friendlier and service-oriented enhancements and is in the work-in-progress stage of development.”

He and Diane moved to Bel Air, where a family was started, having John in 1968 and Mark in 1971. Throughout life, being near the shore was always an important part of our lives together, from Nags Head to Ocean City, to finally residing in Ocean Pines. There was no greater joy for John than spending time with his five grandchildren, Alexander, Gabrielle, Ivan, Crawford and Donovan. They put a smile on his face, whether they were on his lap or chatting by phone.
John always had much to smile about, but the grandkids widened that smile and made him so happy every single time. The legacy of John Joseph Sparzak is born out through his loving wife, Diane, his sons, John and Mark, daughters-in-law, Karen and Sigrid, and his five grandchildren.

The pearly gates were thrust open on 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015, as St. Peter greeted John Joseph Sparzak with a firm handshake and a hug. In the background, a jazz band could be heard playing “Oh When the Saints Come Marching In,” as John always wanted when this day came. We recognize how difficult the past four months have been for John, and ever the man of great strength, he remained strong until he was called to heaven to be reunited with his sister, Cynthia, and his mother and father. What we can imagine is that today there is a patio in heaven with a table covered in newspaper and a bushel of crabs laid out for him to enjoy with his sister and brother-in-law, Johnny. It’s all right, dad, you can share a Natty Boh with your sister. If there is one word to describe John, it is “strength.” His strength of character and Catholic faith was one to be emulated. His strong belief in family made him a husband of all ages to his wife of 49 years, Diane Marie Sparzak. As a father, both of his sons, John and Mark, will tell you that if we can be half of the father to our children as he was to us, then we will have done just fine. His quiet assurances as a father, along with his quiet consternation at times, made him the most respected and admired man that John and Mark have ever known. The greatest memories for us are those when he coached John and Mark in soccer and traveled up and down the mid-Atlantic region behind the wheel of the wood paneled Oldsmobile, taking the boys to college (Penn State and Loyola College). Through the years, John was an unconditional supporter of his family, whether it was working with mom to start Marjo CrossStitch, supporting John at Penn State, or traveling to NYC to watch Mark play basketball for Loyola. Having grown up in Locust Point, John had strong ties to friends and family in this neighborhood.

Daniel had three very special miniature schnauzers, Holly, Peanut and Onyx, whom he cared for and loved deeply. He referred to them as “his girls.” He enjoyed fishing, boating and traveling the U.S. in his RV. One of Daniel’s defining characteristics was that he was generous of his time. Not only did he have a strong, loving and committed relationship with Kim, his true soul mate, but he also made an impact on many people’s lives with his insight, experience and positive attitude.

Justice Jaranilla felt that the penalties were “ . . . too lenient, not exemplary and deterrent and not commensurate with the gravity of the offense or offenses committed.” In a 1,235-page Dissent, Justice Pal decried the verdict as victor’s justice, although he did concede that the evidence was, “... overwhelming that atrocities perpetrated by the members of the Japanese Armed Forces against the civilian population of some of the territories occupied by them and also against the prisoners of war.” His opinion was not released until the Occupation ended, in 1952. He is revered by Japanese nationalists and monuments to him were erected at the Yasukuni and Kyoto Ryozen Gokoku Shrines. Gen. MacArthur confirmed the verdict and sentences on Nov. 24, 1948.

Robbie Duke scored the Berlin squad’s third goal with 15 minutes left in the game. Noah Shockley, a junior, logged eight saves in goal for the Seahawks. “I think we looked OK. Fitness was definitely not there. That was the big thing,” Greenwood said. “We played well, but we started losing momentum at the end of both halves. I thought we moved the ball well, we did a lot of giveand-go passes and we limited our touches, which is what we’ve been working on.”

STEPHEN DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL FALL SPORTS PREVIEW
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor Jamie Greenwood
Juniors in
FALL SPORTS SCHEDULES (Sept. 11, 2015) A number of Stephen Decatur underclassmen earned playing time – and a good amount of it – during the 2014 soccer season, which bodes well for this year as those players return to the“Manyfield. players have lots of experience from last year. [We’re] young, yet experienced,” said Coach Jamie Greenwood, who has led the Seahawks for nine seasons.Of the 22 players on his roster, 14 competed on the varsity squad last year when the group went 7-6. The Seahawks’ season ended with a 5-0 loss to Huntingtown in the second round of Section I of the 3A South Regional tournament.Greenwood’s 2015 roster is made up of five seniors, 15 juniors and two sophomores.“Ihave been playing a lot of players in new positions so we have found new places for some players,” Greenwood said. “We have a lot of juniors this year who got good minutes last year.” The goal, he said, is to finish with a better record than last year and to “improve as the season goes on so when the playoffs start we will be peaking.” He will depend on junior Alton Walker, the team’s captain, to lead the Seahawks this season. Walker, a center midfielder, received All-Bayside Conference Honorable Mention accolades at the end of the 2014 season. “He has been a three-year varsity player and was a captain last year,” Greenwood said. “He is a terrific leader on and off the field. He has done a great job so Addedfar.”Walker, “I feel I can help lead by getting the ball where it needs to be, try to start all the attacks and hopefully score some goals.” He will be joined in the center midfield by junior Chris Leitgeb, who was moved up from JV to varsity for playoffs at the end of last season. Greenwood said he saw the chemistry between the two in the midfield then and he knew they would make a good pair in the center this year. “It was my vision from the start playing them there,” Greenwood said. “They’ve done a good job. They’re friends off the field. Camaraderie equates to good on-field chemistry.”

Senior Lupe Garcia, who was presented All-Bayside Second Team recognition in 2014, returns to the forward line. He will be joined by newcomer, junior Wyatt Church. “I think we’re coming along pretty well. We have a lot of talent so if we can get the chemistry together I think we’ll have a good year,” Walker said. Decatur started 2015 on a high note, winning Tuesday’s season opener in Berlin, 3-1 over the Queen Anne’s Lions.“Itwas a good team effort,” Greenwood said. “I was pleasantly surprised.” Junior Keve Aluma put the Seahawks on the board with 18 minutes remaining in the first half. Church boosted Decatur’s advantage to two with 32 seconds to play. Queen Anne’s cut the lead to one three seconds before halftime.Junior

“We’re not loaded with superstars. We’re going to have to gut everything out,” he said. “We’re a blue-collar, hard work-ethic team.” Knox will look to the captains –Brous, Shockley and seniors Gus Esham and De’Quan Andrews – for leadership.Shockley, a middle linebacker, has represented Decatur for four seasons. Because of his performance last year (87 first contact hits and 55 assists for a total of 142 tackles) he was named defense MVP. He earned AllBayside Conference Second Team honors.“Ifeel really great about leading the team this year. We work hard and hard work has no choice but to produce good results,” Shockley said. “We want to win [and] to do that will take hard work, being gritty and tough.”Brous (outside linebacker/running back), also a four-year player, received All-Bayside Honorable Mention accolades. In 2014, he was second on the team in both rushing yards (428, 5.2-yard average) and tackles (80). Brous said he will provide leadership “through actions, keeping everyone focused and everyone on the same task, just to get better.” “Our motto’s been ‘Don’t lose a day.’ We can’t lose any days or we’ll take a step back. We have keep moving forward,” he added. “Our goal is to win every game, improve as a team every game and surprise teams.” Esham and senior Andre Jordan were also presented Honorable Mention honors in 2014. Knox will count on his veteran players – about half of the 32 varsity players competed last season when the team went 2-8 – to lead the squad to success. A number of newcomers, including juniors Ean Spencer, Avonte Purnell, Jian Joobeen and sophomore Justin Mangiello, could also“Thecontribute.goalsare to get better each week, play as hard as we can, be disciplined and out-physical the other team,” Knox said. “I think we have the capability to be a good football team, but we’ve got to do all that.”

(Sept. 11, 2015) After finishing third in the Sept. 1 season opener, the Stephen Decatur golf team took top honors in its next two catur with a 38. Sophomore Matt Kinsey carded a 41, junior Tanner Leonard shot a 46 and freshman Hayden Snelsire tallied a 49. Last Thursday at the Bay Club in Berlin, Decatur scored a 161 to win by two strokes over Bennett. Kristick (36), Kinsey (38), Leonard (41) and Snelsire (46) contributed to the victory.On Tuesday at River Run Golf Club in Berlin, Decatur logged a 163. Kinsey was the top producer with a 36. Kristick recorded a 38, junior Hailey Brown, 44 and Snelsire, 45. Bennett finished second, carding a 167.“Kristick is our captain and I want him to set the example for the rest of the team to emulate. Everyone in the league expects Matt to be in contention for No. 1 this year, and I hope he does, however, I want everyone on the team to lead sometime during the season,” Coach Jim Krall said. “The most rewarding years are those in which every member of the team medals in at least one match or more. In golf, when you are competing as a team there is nothing more rewarding than saying, ‘that was a great team effort
“Kristick, Kinsey and Leonard have shown that they will be the stability to give us hope each match. Snelsire is currently assuming the fourth position, with Brown and Warren battling it out to round out the five,” Krall said after last Thursday’s match. “In order to be successful, our team can not rely on the top three to get the job done, we need the fourth and fifth players to step up their game to make the difference.”

Future looks bright for SDHS golf, Krall says pect them to go low every match, which puts extra pressure on them, but they know how to handle it.” Both players had a successful 2014 season.Kristick earned All-Bayside Conference First Team honors. He was ranked second in the conference with a 38.75 average, finishing close behind the top golfer, his senior teammate, Danny Parker (38.43). He tied for 31st overall with Parker out of 147 male golfers participating in the state tournament.Kristick,along with Parker, Brooks Holloway and Delaney Iacona, who all graduated, competed as a team in the state championship. The squad placed ninth overall (eighth 3A/4A). “Last year was the largest graduating class of talent I’ve had in 17 years. Losing three top seniors really hurts,” Krall“We’vesaid. been really strong the last couple years, so this year it may be a little harder for us to accept that we may not be as dominant. We’ve just got to do our best every match and see what happens,” Kristick said. “This is the first year where I’m the oldest; I’m used to being the youngest. Last year I was more of a role player to help the team as much I as can, but this year I kind of have to lead everyone – be an example.”Kinsey had a stellar freshman season. He was ranked ninth in the conference with a 41.83 average. He earned All-Bayside Second Team accolades. Kinsey joined his fellow Decatur golfers at states, competing individually. He shot an 85 in the semifinal round, missing the cutoff to advance to the finals by two strokes. He would like to participate in the tournament again this year, but this time qualify for the final round. “I’ve been working really hard on my game and hoping it all pays off,” he Krall,said. the 2014 Bayside Coach of the Year, said the addition of Leonard, a transfer from Parkside High School, has been “a blessing this year, along with Hayden Snelsire, who with time and more experience in competition can really make an impact.” Leonard played for Parkside his freshman and sophomore year and he has fit in well with the Seahawks this season.“They’ve all taken me under their wing and are helping me out with my game,” he said. “Ultimately, I want to play to my potential, make states and play two days. “The team goal, we want to play to our potential as well,” Leonard continued. “They were fortunate to have a stacked team the last couple years, so we’ll see how we pair up this year against other teams.” Although Brown was a member of the JV team last year, she competed in a couple varsity matches. This is her third season playing for Decatur. “I’m excited and hope I can be a good asset,” she said. Snelsire said he has some nerves making his varsity debut, but he is not new to the sport. The 14-year-old has been playing golf for about six years. “I’m doing really well for a freshman. I’m just playing my game and it’s working out,” he said. “They’ve welcomed me. It’s been a fun group to be around so far.” Krall expects the team to be in the hunt every match this year, but more importantly, he wants each golfer to cut strokes off their average as the season progresses and be in top form for postseason competition. “We are currently carrying 14 golfers between varsity and JV, all of whom have the ability to become an outstanding player and contributor to the program,” he said. “The future looks very bright for SDHS golf.”

“Each team has a good, strong core that will be consistent for us,” said Stephen Decatur cross country Coach Jody Stigler. “They’ve been with us for a while and they have experience…We just need the others to develop.”
XC teams have ‘good, strong core’ (Sept. 11, 2015) The 2015 Stephen Decatur cross country program consists of 26 girls and 17 boys. Nearly three-quarters of the boys are veterans, while about half of the Lady Seahawks competed last year. “Each team has a good, strong core that will be consistent for us. That bodes well for us,” said fourth-year Coach Jody Stigler. “They’ve been with us for a while and they have experience. They’ve picked up where they left off at the end of last year. We just need the others to develop.” They boys’ squad is young, but has talented, experienced runners, Stigler said. Many of the key contributors are juniors and sophomores.Runnersthat have been strong so far are juniors Javier Hernandez, Cameron James and Jared Massey and sophomore Jack Stiglertop“They’veReimer.beenourfourinpractice,”said.“Weneed five for a full team. There are a lot of people who can be the fifth runner. We need to close the gap after the top four.” Hernandez moved from North Carolina and started school at Decatur last October so he missed the cross-country season. He did participate in indoor and outdoor track at Decatur last year, and ran cross country for his previous high school. So far, he said he is enjoying his first cross country season at the Berlin school. “I get along with everyone. We’re all working hard and pushing each other,” he said. “I’m really excited for the season. I think we’re going to be pretty successful this year. We’re hoping to go to states. That’s a big thing we want to do,” Hernandez said.

Three girls have stood out during preseason – seniors Alison Alvarado and Rachel Savage and junior Peyton Dunham.“They’ve been our top runners and consistent. I hope they can provide leadership,” Stigler said. Newcomer Davina Graybill, a freshman, has also done well, Stigler said. “All four should be in our top five. There’s some other experienced girls behind them to make it competitive,” StiglerSavagesaid.and Alvarado were named All-Conference athletes for placing top 15 during the 2014 Bayside meet. Savage finished 12th and Alvarado 13th. Alvarado also received All-Region accolades for placing top 15 during the 3A South Regional championship. She crossed the finish line 13thAsoverall.forthe newcomers on each squad, Stigler said there are many “who’ve shown flashes.” “There’s definitely some potential,” he said. “I hope once they get to the meets they’ll be more motivated as they understand what’s going on and how meets go.” With strong runners on both teams, Stigler thinks they could place in the top two or three during the Bayside Conference championship, but that will depend on the athletes’ development throughout the season. Last year, both the boys’ and girls’ teams finished third at Baysides. The Lady Seahawks qualified for states as a team after placing third overall in the 3A South Regional meet. The squad finished 17th at states. Girls who competed in the state meet last year and are participating in cross country this season are Alvarado, Dunham, junior Rose Billings, sophomore Maya Knepp and senior Katie Hofman.“We’re really close this year. I’m excited for the season,” said Savage, a two-year team member. “I think we’re doing really well. We really want to make it to states.” (Sept. 11, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team had a stellar 2014 season under the direction of first-year head Coach Maggie Berke. The Lady Seahawks went 11-0-1 during the regular season and captured the Bayside Conference championship title with a 5-4 overtime victory over Queen Anne’s. The last time Decatur competed for and won the title was in 2003. The 2014 season came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Northern in the 3A South Section I finals. The Seahawks finished 2014 with a 13-1-1 record. Thirteen of the girls on Berke’s 18player roster this year were members of the 2014 squad. “They’re a calm group … a positive group,” Berke said. “We [also] have some young girls in the mix this year.”

Stephen Decatur junior Rachel Florek dives for the ball during practice last week. The Lady Seahawks hope to be as successful this year as they were in 2014.
(Sept. 11, 2015) Sara Patrick was an assistant coach of the Stephen Decatur JV volleyball team in 2013 and the varsity squad last season. This year, she is excited to take over as head coach of the varsitySarahprogram.Purnell, who coached the varsity team last year, was instrumental in helping Patrick with the transition from assistant to head coach. “Sarah helped a lot. She let me take over some of the responsibilities last year,” she said. “I take the responsibility of being a leader seriously. Things are going well. So far it’s been seamless, but we’ll see.” She believes in constructive criticism and she wants her players to bring a positive attitude to the court. “We have a solid varsity team. The girls all know each other. They’ve played together the last few years either on JV or varsity,” Patrick said. “The girls support and respect each other.”
“A lot of girls got moved up last year at the end of the season for playoffs and they all made varsity this year and they’ve all stepped up really well,” McDonough said. “All the returners have done really well, too. We’ve all just meshed.” Maggie Berke
Returning Seahawks also presented with All–Conference distinction because of their performance last season were: Gausepohl, First Team; VanKirk, Second Team; Vara and juniors Claire Porter, Brigitte Ardis and Victoria Kerkovich, Honorable Mention.
Berke, who was named 2014 Bayside Coach of the Year, said she and the Seahawks feel some pressure to do as well if not better than last year. To be successful, Berke said the girls need to work together and be a unified team.

“She’s been my coach sophomore, junior and now my senior year. It has been a little different, but she’s been with us so she knows what we can do,” said senior captain Ellen Bargar. “It’s good to have a coach there to support us and push us.” Added senior Lauren Laque, a fouryear team member, “She wants us to get better and she really pushes us. She’s built those personal relationships already.”Patrick will look to setter/right side hitter, Bargar, who was a 2014 All-Bayside Conference First Team honoree and named MVP of the Decatur squad last year, to lead the Seahawks. She has been a member of the team since her freshman year. “She will be a great captain,” Patrick said. “She’s a wonderful leader on the court. She’s very positive, she keeps the girls up and working together.”

“I think overall as a team we’re really strong and play off of each other really well,” McDonough said. “As long as we keep our focus we should be fine. If we put in the work the outcome will be what we want.” Smith was named to the Second Team and Townsend received Honorable Mention accolades. “The seniors last year really showed me the ropes on how to be encouraging and positive. The girls know how to play, and I’m just kind of going to help them along,” Smith said. “I’m excited to see how we do this year. We want to live up to the seniors’ reputation from last year of winning Baysides, so that’s what I think our main goal is, then go as far as we can [in playoffs].”

The Seahawks are skilled players and they move the ball well. Berke said the group would be more of a possession team this year, rather than just sending the ball up the field and running after it. She was pleased with the team’s performance during Wednesday’s season opener in Ridgely against the North Caroline Bulldogs. Junior forward Lexie VanKirk scored both of Decatur’s goals in the 2-0 shutout. Mallory Vara, a junior, assisted the goals. “We moved the ball really well. [We] worked really well as a team right out of the gate,” Berke said. “We need to just work on putting the ball in the net.” Goalie Lexi Gausepohl, a senior, stopped five North Caroline shots in the first half. Junior Rachel Florek recorded four saves in the second half. Berke will rely on senior captains – Erin Smith (defense), Peyton Townsend (midfield) and Alexis McDonough (midfield/defense) – to lead the McDonough,Seahawks. a four-year player, earned All-Bayside Conference First Team honors in 2014.

The team went 1-12 last season. The Seahawks lost in the 2A South Regional tournament Section II second round, 7-0, to Kent Island.
The team welcomes setter/hitter, junior Alexis Fleeger, a transfer from Arizona. She and Bargar are both lefties. “It is unusual to have two lefties. It’s definitely an advantage. It’s hard to block a lefty,” Patrick said. “We’ll run with two setters and they’ll play opposite each other on the court.” Senior Taylor Lago also joins the team and will play in the middle. Patrick said she is strong at the net and good on Juniordefense.defensive specialist Claire Billings is new as well. She’s fast in the back and good at covering, Patrick said.
Staying positive this season key for squad, Mitrecic says
“That’s really the most important thing, staying positive through the whole season. We hope to score some goals, win some games and play well as a team,” she said. “We are getting in shape which is really good and that’s what you need to stay with good teams. I think it’s going to be a good season because we keep getting better and we’re all seeing the progress, so it’s really exciting. The coaches definitely have a lot of faith in us.” Also returning from last year is junior midfielder Logan Figgs and seniors Hannah Fauntleroy, a forward, and goalie Sophia Clemente, both 2014 Bayside Honorable Mention recipients. “I think we’re showing a lot of improvement this year…A lot of the younger girls stepped up and I think we’re doing good so far,” said Clemente, a member of the team since her freshman year. “A lot of [veterans] are getting to show their stuff more on the field this year…I hope we get more wins this year and work together as a team.”
Players know each other’s strengths and weaknesses

The 2014 team finished with a 9-8 record. The season ended with a 3-2 loss to James M. Bennett in the second round of the 3A South Section I Regional tournament. The Seahawks hope to improve on that record and advance further in the playoffs this year. “I think that this team will be pretty good this year. We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses so I hope we can all come together as a team and work hard and push ourselves to do better,” Bargar said. “We’re all getting along really well.” Added Laque, “I am really excited for this season.

The other seven Seahawks on Matthews’ 2015 rosters played on the JV team last “Everybody’sseason. positive, they talk on the field and they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” the second-year coach said. “We’re going game by game. We’re working on things we need to get better at.” The team graduated eight seniors who were strong in their positions, Matthews said. For this season, she had to figure out what veterans and newcomers could fill those spots left vacant and where each player best helps the team. “I want the girls to do their best, learn the game of field hockey and be able to go out and use their skills to work as a team,” Matthews said. “I want them to play a team game.” Matthews will rely on the captains–seniors Olivia Kurtz (forward) and Reagan Dunham (defense) and junior Sara Mitrecic (midfield)–to lead the team.Dunham received All-Bayside Conference Honorable Mention accolades in 2014. Mitrecic was named to the All-Bayside Second Team.
“They’ve done a great job. They’re so different in the way they lead the team. It’s a good mix,” Matthews said. “Sara motivates the girls to give their all. Olivia is always happy and she gets the girls pumped up and keeps them positive. Reagan, she’s just a nice person and very encouraging.”

9. Have your excuse ready: Part of being prepared to deal with a threatening situation is having “an out.” Prepare a scenario in advance so that you can leave — or you can encourage someone who makes you uncomfortable to leave. Examples: Your cell phone went off and you have to call your office, you left some important information in your car, or another agent with buyers is on his10.way.Don’t get parked-in: When showing property or meeting someone, park your car in front of the property rather than in the driveway. You will avoid having your car blocked in, and you’ll have an easier time escaping in your vehicle.

Meet Sat. festival
It was also another weekend of fun at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street and Coastal Highway. The Labor Day Weekend Art & Craft Show was jam-packed with vendors and shoppers alike and everyone seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
The latest Cars & Coffee meeting at Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli on 63rd Street and Coastal Highway, took place this past Sunday and as usual, it was quite a success. Owner Warren Rosenfeld tells me that other car events in Delmarva didn’t See Hooper’s Crab House, located at the foot of the Route 50 bridge in West Ocean City, presented its sixth annual Brews on the Beach craft beer festival last year. Approximately 400 people attended the event. The 2015 festival will take place Saturday from 12-5 p.m.
Bill Campion has been entertaining kids for decades and you’ll usually find him outside of The Kite Loft on Fifth Street on the boards. Campion was part of the Air Force’s first Sea Rescue division way back in the 1950’s, before eventually settling here in Ocean City in 1973. Needless to say, he is full of cool stories to tell and most certainly not your typical street performer. I love finding different places and Slim’s Taco Shack on the Boardwalk at Fifth Street was a neat surprise. Honestly, I’ve probably passed it 100 times within the last few months but finally stopped in last weekend. Amanda Holtz, Slim’s manager, was an absolute doll and the food is great. If you’re beach bound and looking for something to just grab and go, Slim’s is perfect. Plus it has a $9 meal deal that includes a burrito and drink to go, so if you’re in the vicinity, check it out!
The first 200 attendees will receive a commemorative sampling pint and there will be live acoustic “fun, beer drinking music” by Matt Wolske. “We are keeping it very local in Maryland and Delaware,” said Patrick Brady, manager of Hooper’s, which has its own in-house brewery, Fin City. “We are focusing on the rise of breweries down here in Ocean City, Salisbury and Parsonsburg.” Local favorites include Backshore Brewing Co., OC Brewing, Assawoman Bay, Burley Oak, Tall Tales, 16 Mile, 3rd Wave, Evolution, Dogfish Head and of course, Hooper’s Fin City.
Fin City Brewing Co. brewer Vince Wright and his wife, Michele, offer tastings of their brews during the sixth annual Brews on the Beach craft beer festival last year.

The event will also feature regional breweries such as DuClaw, Flying Dog and Heavy Seas, who will all be on hand to pour unlimited, two-ounce samples.“Bringing more awareness to the area helps all breweries,” Brady said. Fin City is Hooper’s in-house brewing operation, located on the restaurant’s second floor. The idea for the brewery came during Brews on the Beach four years ago, when brewer Vince Wright approached Hooper’s staff. It began brewing in 2012 and Fin City started distributing its brews a year later. Craft beers from Fin City are a surprise for guests and all new at the festival, with the exception of Captain Jack’s Pumpkin Ale, although Brady did say they are unveiling a new double“ThereIPA. will be a couple that haven’t been out on the market or in distribution yet,” Brady said. “They are special and new for the event.

Do you hear that? Yes, it’s the sound of absolutely nothing! The summer of 2015 in Ocean City is officially in the books and the kids are all finally back in school (after being handed an extra hour of freedom thanks to a fog delay on Tuesday). Did you enjoy your holiday weekend? While the rip currents were crazy at the end of last week, by Labor Day we actually had some of the very best waves of the entire summer. I hope that you had a chance to enjoy those last official days of summer. If you were on the Boardwalk then I don’t have to tell you how busy it actually was, do I? While out and about I found some really interesting people to chat with.

check out Berlin, located just a few minutes away from downtown Ocean City. There is a reason that historic Berlin was officially named “America’s Coolest Small Town” in 2014 and if you ask any of the locals why, they’ll be sure to rattle off at least five different reasons. Aside from being the antique capital of the Eastern Shore, Main Street in Berlin is alive with specialty shops. Berlin also features some of the best restaurants around, all within walking distance of each other. Check www.berlinmainstreet.com for more information on this great little town and all that it has to offer.

Montalván wants readers to acquire a “better understanding of trauma and healing from trauma” after reading his books.There will be a book signing after Montalván’s hour-long presentation on Saturday from 2-2:30 p.m. All events will take place in the Stephen Decatur High School auditorium on Seahawk Road in Berlin beginning at 1 p.m. Visit www.until-tuesday.com and www.tuesdaytucksmein.com to learn more about Montalván’s books.

Riders will leave promptly at 11:30 a.m. with the patriotic procession starting at 27th Street and continuing south to North Division Street on the Boardwalk.Last year more than 400 participated as the event fell on the first day of OC BikeFest, Tartufo said. “Instead of making everyone wait on 27th Street after registration, participants can go right on the Boardwalk to hang out and get something to eat,” Tartufo said. After the ride, a ceremony will take place at the Boardwalk memorial with Tartufo serving as the master of ceremonies. Sen. Jim Mathias and Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan will speak alongside the city’s police and fire chiefs and Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby. The ceremony will last about 40 minutes.Afterthe service, police will escort the riders out of Ocean City along Route 50 to the Moose Lodge in Roxana, Del. for lunch, brotherhood, friendship and fellowship. DJ Batman, an honorary member of the motorcycle club, will entertain the crowd.Registration for the memorial ride costs $10 per bike, which includes the ride down the Boardwalk and the escorted ride to lunch at the Moose Lodge.The first 300 riders to register will receive a free pin, others and passengers can buy a pin for $5 each.

Marlin fishing good overall during OCMC tournament (Sept. 11, 2015) Thirty boats participated in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 57th annual Labor Day White Marlin Tournament, held Sept. 4-7, and $13,590 was awarded to the winners. The tournament was originally slated to be a fish two-of-three days competition, but because of rough conditions offshore, Monday, Sept. 7 was added as a fishing day. “We added a day due to the poor weather forecast. That allowed all boats the opportunity to get two days in,” said Franky Pettolina, Ocean City Marlin Club president and tournament co-director. “Unfortunately, the weather hurt our turnout, but the marlin fishing was good overall. The meat fishing was a little slow, however. All things considered, I can’t complain.”DASeatook first place in the Billfish Release Division with 1,500 points. The crew won $5,355. They also took home an additional $2,250 in the first day Daily Billfish Release Division, for releasing 13 white marlin.

(Sept. 11, 2015) Diminishing traffic opens the door to another season of variance. The balmy temperatures are still in command as another summer slips through the passage of certainty. But change is soon to follow and with that comes the thought of new possibilities. Reflection enriches the present which secures theFallfuture.israpidly approaching and intrinsic motivation must never cease. Tantalizing cucumbers, sweet corn and juicy peaches will shortly genuflect to a feast of majestic eggplants, festive pumpkins and seductive pomegranates. My trusty pen is an echo of my most inner thoughts. There is little that shapes cookery as profoundly and pervasively as imagination. This vehicle of expression is the basis for interpretation and point of view.Basics must prevail before progression can come to the forefront. Let us delve into the definition and supposition of imagination. Samuel Johnson sheds light with incredible precision. “Imagination, a licentious and vagrant faculty, unsusceptible of limitations and impatient of restraint, has always endeavored to baffle the logician, to perplex the confines of distinction, and burst the enclosures of Imaginationregularity.”has an ambiguous status, seemingly poised between the mental and physical reality of conception. It is the ability to produce works of exemplary originality through the means of creativity. This process does not exist in following rules, it can neither be learned nor taught, and is mysterious even to geniusesOriginality,themselves.taste and presentation are the essence and prerequisite for culinary attainment. Ratatouille, the infamous stew of eggplant, corgettes (zucchini and summer squash), sweet bell peppers, tomatoes and onions is indigenous to the south of France. While it seems simple on the surface, there are subtle and various nuances in technique. Ratatouille has graced kitchens since the late 18th century. According to an article titled, “Ratatouille History,” ratatouille is derived from ratouiller and tatouille; two expressive forms of the French verb, touiller, meaning to stir up. The first appearance of the word in English was found in Cassell’s Dictionary of Cookery in 1877. Actually, at that time ratatouille was misspelled and referred to as a hearty meat stew; this exemplifies its infamous “meaty” texture. Progressive culinary enthusiasts insist ratatouille derives its flavor from the freshness of its vegetables. These garden beauties should be cut coarsely and into uniform shapes so they cook evenly. Also, they should be cooked separately so each will taste truly of itself. Vine-ripe tomatoes are an option but good quality canned whole peeled tomatoes are perfectly acceptable. Peel and chop a lot of garlic and have plenty of good quality olive oil on hand. Preferred seasonings for finishing ratatouille are Herbs de Province, basil and bay leaves. Because there is a significant amount of tomatoes in the dish, parmesan cheese is sometimes added. This is a clear indication of a novice chef; the cheese will overpower the wonderful aromas that have been so delicately created. Ratatouille is delicious and pairs well with most proteins. However, it does take time to prepare properly. Ratatouille soup is an innovative twist on the classic ratatouille and has much more essence than your typical tomato based soups. Imagination and uniqueness must be incorporated into a menu if accolades are to follow. Ratatouille soup is a perfect fall dish; warm, crispy bread and a glass of red Zinfandel completes the trinity of deliciousness.
The Master Angler Award went to Pat McAteer for self-hooking and releasing the most billfish during the tournament. He landed four whites aboard DA Sea. Fin Ally finished first in the Dolphin Division with a 20.8-pounder. In the Black reeled in two 14.8-pound dolphin and was presented $1,980.

In contrast to closing out the 2015 season, this is also the time when the OCBP starts testing for new lifeguards for 2016 and begins focusing on our staffing needs for next season. As we plan for next season we will review statistics and data and will make decisions on the number and placement of lifeguard stands. To begin reaching our recruiting goals, we held a test on Aug. 8 and Sept. 5 and offered appointments to next season’s Surf Rescue Academies to many highly qualified candidates. We will need additional staff for next season so we will hold additional preemployment physical skills evaluations. There are two off-site tests scheduled for early 2016 for positions in one of two Surf Rescue Academies scheduled for May and June for work during the summer of One2016.isat Salisbury University on Sunday, Feb. 28, and a second at York College in Pennsylvania on Saturday, March 12. If interested, please check the OCBP website for exact times and locations and register online. Because we have such a high return rate from one season to the next, it is important that anyone hoping to secure a position for 2016 tryout as soon as possible. Although we have scheduled off-site test-
We strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay within the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device.
Many of these educators are required to return prior to Labor Day each year to attend professional meetings and prepare for the arrival of students. Several school systems brought teachers back three weeks before Labor Day, which has been a trend for the past couple of years for both colleges and public school systems. This change has dramatically impacted the availability of the majority of our 200 employees during the last weeks of summer. Historically, we have needed to begin reducing coverage beginning with the third week in August as our staffing levels decreased to approximately 60 percent of our mid-season deployment. However, this year we had more Surf Rescue Technicians leave earlier than at any time in the history of the patrol. At this time of the year we rely more heavily on the local educators along with other additional returning Surf Rescue Technicians that often have to travel long distances to come back to help increase the total number of stands (and decrease the distance between stands) on weekends. In addition, we are increasing the number of Mobil Rescue Units patrolling the beach. We continue to talk about the tropical storm activity because it continues to impact our situation at the end of the season. This typical increase in tropical storm activity in the Atlantic as well as approaching hurricanes have caused their fair share of creating some rough surf. The heavier surf contributes to the frequency and severity of rip currents that form along the beaches of Ocean City and pose an increased danger to swimmers.Wehave seen some powerful rips that can open up at any given time (Flash RIPS) and have caused several days of increased rescue activity. The beach patrol believes that these conditions warrant beach patrons to take extra precautions and walk the short distance to swim in the vicinity of a Surf Rescue Technician (lifeguard) on a stand. Or better yet, just swim directly in front of the lifeguard. Because of the dedication and commitment of these public servants, we will continue to provide daily coverage between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. for all 10 miles of the Ocean City beach until Sunday, Sept. 27. Although this coverage will be done with fewer personnel and less lifeguard towers (than during the summer), we will supplement this coverage by increasing the number of Mobil Rescue Units patrolling the beach.These mobile units are first-aid and AED equipped with one SRT (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other SRT (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency. Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians, medical first responders and are quad (ATV) certified.

(Sept. 11, 2015) The Ocean City Beach Patrol has been in a reduced coverage scheme since the third week in August (Aug. 17). This reduction in personnel is an annual occurrence, but is complicated by this year’s late Labor Day, the earlier start of college classes and the return of our education professionals to school systems throughout the United States.
This also includes all Maryland schools, which had students return one or two weeks prior to Labor Day and professional staff one week prior to students. However, our local Worcester County Schools, which for the second time began after Labor Day for students.Reduced coverage is a reduction in available staff and extends until the Sunday of Sunfest weekend (the third Sunday following Labor Day), Sept. 27. During this reduced coverage, staffing levels will be far less than the OCBP’s mid-season deployment. OCBP had more than 75 percent of its staff report to other responsibilities prior to Labor Day with the majority returning as college students, and the remainder taking full time career positions or returning to their classrooms as educators.

(Sept. 11, 2015) Ocean City was where Patrick Chandler and Kayla Slough of York, Pa. fell in love. When Chandler decided to pop the question to Slough, an art student, he wanted to propose at the resort surrounded by the art she loved. He e-mailed Rina Thaler, director of the Ocean City Center for the Arts, asking for her help. “I am trying to make my marriage proposal idea come to life,” Chandler wrote. “I had a painting done as a part of my proposal, as my girlfriend is just finishing art school and loves art. I wanted to have this piece of art ‘staged’ at an art gallery somewhere so we would come upon it, and I’d mention something about how cool it was. It is a man on his knee proposing to a woman at the beach.“Ocean City is where we fell in love,” he continued. “We will be in Ocean City Saturday, Sept. 5th thru Tuesday. Sept. 8th. Is there any way possible that your art center could help me achieve this?” Thaler was more than happy to help. On Sunday, the Arts Center staff placed Chandler’s painting on an easel, played along when he and his girlfriend arrived for a casual walk through the gallery, and was there to record the moment when he got down on his knee. Slough said “yes.” The Ocean City Center for the Arts is located on 94th Street, bayside, in Ocean City. More information is available at www.artleagueofoceancity.org or by calling 410-524-9433.

WPS teacher and students honored for film production
(Sept. 11, 2015)
Raskauskas has taught Digital Media for more than 20 years at WPS. Many of her past students have won film awards and have gone on to work in the film industry. These four boys were part of her film elective. “I couldn’t be more proud of this team of WPS 10th grade boys who were up against mostly college and professional competitors,” Raskauskas said. “My goal was to step outside the classroom and give these talented young men a firsthand experience of the challenges of independent filmmaking. Obviously winning these honors at such a young age makes it even more extraordinary.”
WPS students, from left, Thomas Polk, Jordan Welch, Davis Mears and Alex Abbott are joined by their technology teacher, Nancy Raskauskas. Their film, "Little Time," won an award for “Best Use of the Dialog Line” in the 2015 Toronto 50-Hour Film Competition in August.

Worcester Preparatory School technology teacher Nancy Raskauskas and students, Davis Mears, Thomas Polk, Alex Abbott and Jordan Welch, spent a marathon weekend together in July to enter the 2015 Toronto 50-Hour Film Competition with their film, “Little Time.” All their hard work paid off when “Little Time” won an award for “Best Use of the Dialog Line” and was chosen for screening at the festival. The team was also honored for its fine use of special effects used in such a short window of time to produce a film. This was the third year of the competition, sponsored by the Lost Episode Festival Toronto (LEFT). Winning films were screened during the Toronto Film Festival on Aug. 8. This was the first time WPS students entered the LEFT contest. All participating teams received an email at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 10, that stated the requirements of the competition, including the character, a prop and a line that had to be used in the short film. Once they received the rules, they had to plan, script, film, score, edit and produce a Sci-Fi video. The edited film could be no longer than seven minutes and had to be completed and uploaded for entry by 9 p.m. on Sunday, July 12.

The police could, as Councilman Matt James pointed out last week, simply apply the laws already on the books. For whatever reason, most of those involved just didn't get it. Now, perhaps, they do, the required signs notwithstanding.
KathyOceanGrimesCity Targeting unnecessaryautos Editor,Iwas extremely disappointed to read the new regs to do away with the automotive events and the poorly disguised effort to do away with Bike Week (trailer law). I would only ask why the cops cannot do their job and enforce the current laws? Why are you targeting the innocent by-standers and requiring the business owners to enforce the new laws? We do not need more laws, Continued on Page 86

That, of course, is fiction, but the fact is that the Ocean City mayor and council's ill-fated attempt to ban partying and even standing around in the parking lots on commercial properties turns out to be more about miscommunication and misunderstanding than anything else. The short version of the council's walk-back of the parking lot partying law Tuesday night is that the proponents of the measure failed to understand that the police didn’t need a new law authorizing them to enforce the existing law.
That, however, is what it amounted to as the law's supporters contended that the ill-fated ordinance would give the police the authority to go on private property to enforce the state law against creating a public disturbance.
I read this feature with great interest. I remember some of the history of this period from when I was a child. (My last birthday was my 82nd.)Mymother had two brothers who were Army combat pilots flying in the war zones. They were both on the USS Missouri at times. I lived through this time as a child. Mr. Wahoff enabled me to live through this time as an Thereadult.are many “senior citizens” living in Ocean Pines who remember this period. I am sure this feature brought back childhood memories for many.Thanks for another great article in Ocean City Today.

Can’t thank beach patrol enough Editor,Anyone sitting on the beach on Saturday, Aug. 22 witnessed the dangers of the ocean with the winds and high waves pounding the shore relentlessly. It was a gorgeous day and one that certainly kept the Ocean City Beach Patrol “on their game.” As a professional lifeguard trainer for 47 years now, I have spent hours during the summers watching the OCBP keeping the visitors to our beaches safe and educated.

What we've got here is failure to communicate. That line is from the 1967 movie classic, "Cool Hand Luke," and was said by the prison warden to Paul Newman's character, just before the warden knocked him off his feet.

That's a little bit unsettling, as City Solicitor Guy Ayres apparently realized when he found himself explaining to city officials that, really, all this legislative folderol was unnecessary.
On Saturday, I felt compelled to thank the OCBP guard assigned to Third Street, Sam, for a job well done. He was on top of his beach. Sam was constantly blowing his whistle and waving people back to a safe area in the waters. He didn’t hesitate to continue to blow his whistle and stay on top of those swimmers that were not listening to the warnings. He definitely took his job seriously!Iwas sitting right near him when he called everyone in the water and on the surrounding beach area over to his stand to go over safety cautions. He delivered his message in a most professional manner and with passion for his responsibilities. It was amazing with all the Town of Ocean City and the Ocean City Beach Patrol safety publicity around town that the swimmers chose to ignore the lifeguard’s warnings. I witnessed many people ignoring the warnings, however Sam kept on them in a most professional and persistent manner to keep them safe. Did I once witness a “thank you” to him ... sadly, no. In fact, quite the contrary, at times.When it was time for the beach to be closed, and the lifeguards were off duty, Sam was diligent about getting everyone out of the water. He had to explain to some that the beach was closing due to the lifeguards going off duty. One group continued to give Sam a hard time about going back into the ocean and he continued to whistle them out.Sam had pulled his lifeguard stand back on the beach and was gathering his belongings, but before long the ocean was full of people again. Those sitting around me, visitors to our town, were most surprised that these individuals did not heed the lifeguard’s warnings that the beach was closed. We all sat and spoke about the dangerous water conditions, yet people went in without the lifeguard on duty. I would like the Ocean City Beach Patrol and the Town of Ocean City know that Sam, an OCBP employee, was an absolute standout. Safety is obviously his number-one concern. As the summer was winding down, Sam was still diligent.Thank you, Sam, for your professional work this summer to keep the beaches around Third Street safe. We applaud your outstanding dedication. You are a young man that we all feel fortunate to have on our beach! You were a standout that was noticed!
Obviously, the police go after lawbreakers on private property all the time: an assault takes place on a parking lot and the police make an arrest; someone breaks into a house, the police make an arrest. But somehow, neither the police, the Police Commission nor the council majority behind the ordinance grasped that a small law like the state's public disturbance statute is the law nevertheless and can be responded to wherever the police see it being broken. As it is, the council approved a measure that will require commercial property owners along Coastal Highway to post a sign as of next May declaring, in essence, that breaking the law is against the law and that the police will be doing what they could have been doing anyway.

National Geographic announced this week the discovery of an ancient relative of homo sapiens, which would be us, as opposed to homo erectus, which may or may not involve Cialis or some other upstanding pharmaceutical.Fossils of the little hominids were discovered by amateur cave crawlers and then excavated two years ago by a team of women scientists chosen for their diminutive proportions, thus enabling them to crawl through openings of no more than 10 inches overall. This, incidentally, would explain why no one on the Boardwalk this summer, male or female, made the team. This is even though I am sure many scientists were in the crowd, especially the ones wearing shorts that had “Bob’s Booty” on the backside or T-shirts that said “I Heart My Redneck Boyfriend,” both of which are indicative of a highly trained scientific mind. What makes the discovery so remarkable, National Geographic reported, is that the fossils are of an entirely new species far down the evolutionary chain, if you believe in that sort of thing. If you don’t – and I’m trying to please everyone here – then these small tree swingers obviously dead-ended right around the time fully clothed people suddenly appeared on the scene. Anyway, they say these humonkeys, at it were, had been laid to ritualistic rest in a deep chamber inside a South African cave, therefore suggesting that that the creatures were capable of thought.Thiswould be particularly notable for a species this far down the developmental line. Again, for those who don’t buy that theory, it is true that modern zoo monkeys also have exhibited some kind of thought processes in that they will throw doo-doo at you in a minute. That does require some kind of cognitive ability, considering there is other stuff around to throw, but which does not elicit the “EWWWWW,” response that they seem both to recognize and enjoy.Another theory that also bypasses the whole evolutionary business is that the species, named homo naledi (no, the last name is not an Italian racecar driver, but is an indigenous South African word for “star”) is that they died out because they had small brains and therefore couldn’t resist becoming so political that they couldn’t get anything done.Good thing, too, because had they agreed on everything, we may well have ended up being subservient to a class of creatures with long-grasping fingers, a penchant for monkey business and baseball-sized brains. That would be a scary thought in-

Richard E. Kingsville,ButerbaughMd. Hogan reaching vision for Maryland Editor,AsIwent door-to-door in the campaign and now during my constituent listening hours, it’s inevitable that someone will remind me not to forget us here on the Shore. This “One Maryland” concept has stuck with me as I work with my colleagues in Annapolis.Ibelieve Governor Hogan’s leadership reflects this “One Maryland” approach. A review of his recent decisions on several policy and funding issues demonstrates a fair and balanced approach benefitting all of Maryland.Forexample, after rejecting the originally proposed phosphorous regulations, the Hogan administration moved forward with regulations that struck a balance between the environment and our farm community. Along those same lines, Governor Hogan refused to let the last administration’s arcade regulations go into effect, which would have devastated our local family arcade and amusement owners. Instead, the new administration is working with our local arcade operators to ensure that the new regulations do not negatively impact family arcade centers. When it comes to transportation funding, the Hogan administration provided $65 million in new funding to upgrade and widen U.S. Route 113, Worcester County’s current top transportation priority. In addition, the administration’s funding plan includes $160 million to widen Maryland 404 from U.S. 50 to the Denton Bypass. Given the number of accidents and deaths on routes 113 and 404 over the years, these highway improvements will save lives, especially during peak summer resort traffic. Governor Hogan understands that investments on the shore and in other rural areas in the state do not come at the expense of our metropolitan regions. In fact, Baltimore County will receive more than $500 million in funding in the Administration’s Consolidated Transportation Plan. As I continue to work with my colleagues in the Maryland General Assembly on the state’s priorities, I am appreciative of Governor Hogan’s rebalancing of Maryland’s expenditures and regulations. The governor’s actions show that he is considering the needs of Marylanders in every part of the state. We on the shore will not be forgotten under Governor Hogan’s leadership.
