Performers on Boardwalk not forgotten issue City looking at contracting outside law firm for review

Fate of 61st St. Marriott in limbo Both City Council, Planning and Zoning Comm. weigh in with negative opinions
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) By the time this paper hits stands, the fate the of the proposed 61st Street Marriott will have already been decided – although as of press time, it wasn’t looking good. The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals was scheduled to meet last night, Thursday, Sept. 11, to hear an application by the property’s developers to permit tandem parking using hydraulic car-stacking lifts. But both City Council and the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission have already weighed in with generally negative opinions, concerned that allowing the lifts would set a precedent for their proliferation throughout the resort, causing eyesores and safety concerns. “I’m not in favor of seeing these lifts all over town, and that’s what we’re going to have,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. However, no one was necessarily against the project as a whole, but rather against the use of car-lifts to skirt the city’s strict parking requirements. “It’s a common sense thing. It’s going to be a good project that’s going to look good coming into Ocean City,” Mitrecic said.

“I almost think this request is – not out of desperation – but they really want this project done,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. “There’s got to be a way that we can have this project without the lifts.” Foundation work has already begun on the Marriott at the site of the old OC Health and Racquet Club, situated at the western end of 61st street along Sea Bay Lane, stretching between Route 90 to the north and the Trader’s Cove townhouses to the south. The hotel is slated to contain 150 rooms in eight stories, including the typical amenities such as pools and a gym. The project is being done under the city’s “Special Bayside” development See MARRIOTT Page 9
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) With the peak season now passed, this summer’s myriad of Boardwalk street performer issues is gone – but not forgotten. Although nothing has yet been said publicly, the city is apparently looking at contracting with an outside law firm to review the town’s current and past ordinances pertaining to the issue, which have taken a beating in recent federal court cases. “What I suggested to the council was that I had some contacts with large law firms in the metro area, and could find out if they do First Amendment work,” City Solicitor Guy Ayres said. Two firms have been interviewed, Ayres said - but the details of their proposals, or if City Council has accepted either deal, are not yet confirmed. However, forward movement of some kind is nearly inevitable, given the volume of complaints from visitors and business owners this past summer over the increasing number of street performers. But given that the city has gone to court three times – and lost three times – on performer regulations, options for control are a very fine legal line. “If the firm has recommendations for some changes or some fine-tuning, they would make those, put it in ordinance form, and the council could vote ‘yay’ or ‘nay,’” Ayres said. Any new legislation could, of course, also result in a suit that would take the town to the mat for the fourth time. But, Ayres said, part of his proposal to the two firms was that they would represent the city in any suit. “If we make changes to the ordinances based on their recommendations, and we end up in court, they’ll See CITY Page 6

Beach play equipment focus of area challenge By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) With $2,000 already raised, a challenge has been issued to the local community to help gather funds for more beach play equipment in downtown Ocean City. Following a $1,000 donation made several weeks ago by Tow Boat US owner Greg Hall, city councilmen Doug Cymek and Brent Ashley each gave $500 checks to the town this week to further jump start the effort. “I think both Doug and I would join Mr. Hall in issuing a challenge to the public to also donate,” Ashley said. In July, the city installed what will hopefully be the first of several new play structures on the beach – a cast concrete dinosaur skeleton and fossil eggs for children to climb on and crawl through. “From what I’ve seen, the dinosaur has been a big hit with the kids,” Hall said. “I thought it would be a nice thing for Tow Boat US to give back to the community. It’s been good to me over the years, working with the city.

City Manager David Recor, center, is presented with checks from Councilman Doug Cymek, left, and Councilman Brent Ashley as part of a drive for donations to fund new beach play equipment.
Hopefully someone else will pony up.” In the spring of 2013, the city decided that it would not be returning the old wooden play-sets out of winter storage and back to their usual Boardwalk-adjacent positions. Age, and the fact that the structures were never intended for commercial use, had caused them to become structurally unsound. Liability claims against the city were increasing, as well as the illicit use of the structures at night-time by
teenage visitors. Over the past 18 months, the city has searched for viable alternatives, as well as funding methods. The original structures were purchased by Boardwalk merchants, but funding has apparently been less forthcoming this time around. The city shelled out $16,480 for the dinosaur set – which was actually half of the original price, given that the manufacturer had used that particular set as a display model.

OP teen joins dad in jail, both on drug raps
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) An Ocean Pines teenager who was sentenced Sept. 3 to 18 months in jail for a drug charge and an assault told the judge he had thought it would be cool to be a drug dealer. After all, his father sold drugs and had introduced him to drug dealers. Somewhere along the line, Jeremy Giordiano changed his mind about that occupation and told the judge he was sorry for his mistakes. “I went down the wrong track very easily,� Giordiano told Judge Thomas C. Groton III in Circuit Court in Snow Hill. Giordiano was arrested Nov. 14, 2013 after members of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Enforcement Team executed a search and seizure warrant at his residence near the Yacht Club. In the bedroom he shared with his girlfriend, investigators found bags and jars containing 1,027 grams of marijuana, hash oil, a grinder for processing marijuana, a
digital scale, cell phones and $557 in cash. That led to the charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute it. He was arrested again April 9 after an argument with his girlfriend turned physical. He held her down, but she fought him off and went downstairs. He followed her, picked up a butcher knife and threatened her with it. On the porch, he choked her until she dropped to the floor and thought she was going to lose consciousness. In that case, he was charged with first- and second-degree assault. In court last week, his defense attorney, Anders Randrup III said Giordiano was “just a kid� who didn’t get through the ninth grade and had been involved in special education throughout his school years. Giordiano, he said, was “extraordinarily impressionable� and had been led to drugs by his father, Michael Giordiano. “His father pushed him into this,�
Randrup told the court. “His father took him to California to meet dealers. It’s one of the most abhorrent things I can think of to do to their child.� Randrup said sending Giordiano to jail would be a mistake and asked the judge to give him a suspended sentence because of the “awful, awful reason he’s even here.� Judge Groton told the teen, who pleaded guilty to the charges against him, that it was his decision to sell drugs. He knew Giordiano because the youth had been in Juvenile Drug Court because of involvement with drugs. “You decided it was something you wanted to do,� the judge said. “You’re making the same mistake you made before.� The judge also said Giordiano was
solely to blame for the assault. “Your father wasn’t there when you assaulted your girlfriend and had the knife in your hand,� the judge said. After the judge sentenced Giordiano to 18 months in jail on each charge, he suspended all but eight months of those sentences, which will be served concurrently. After his release from jail, Giordiano must pay two $500 fines and will be on supervised probation for two years. His father is also in jail. Michael Giordiano, 39, pleaded guilty June 10 to possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute it and was sentenced to five years incarceration with all but nine months suspended. He had been arrested Nov. 14, 2013, the same day his son was arrested.

City seeks outside help on performer issues Continued from Page 1 be a part of the defense team,” he said. In 2011, the city was hit with a lawsuit from Boardwalk spray-paint artist Mark Chase in conjunction with the Rutherford Institute, claiming that the town’s permitting process for street performers impeded free expression. If the town had no compelling reason to require permits other than for the sake of control itself, it was argued, it was a violation of the First Amendment. Although the city may still restrict placement of performers for public safety and emergency access, the permitting scheme was thrown out by U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Hollander. A little over a year after the Chase case, the city was hit with another suit by the American Civil Liberties
Union and Boardwalk violinist William Hassay, who claimed that the use of a 30-foot noise restriction by the OCPD to stop one of his performances was arbitrary and also in violation of the Constitution. Again, Hollander found the city’s regulations to be too non-specific. In
long as reasonable alternative locations were provided. The town has both the power to keep public rightsof-way clear of obstruction, and provide right-of-access to private property. One of the most common complaints from business owners is with

Councilwoman and long-time Boardwalk business owner Margaret Pillas. In the case of the Boardwalk “Pole Doll,” the dancer was asked to keep her spectators from blocking traffic, both on the main walkway and on the side ramps where businesses had complained about crowds around their entrances. “She did attempt to do that,” Pillas said. “But when I was up there, the police were not actively enforcing it. It’s something we need to work on. I think it is achievable.” Clearly, the fact that the city has slacked on basic crowd control – while honing in on less pressing Boardwalk issues such as profanity and cigarette smoking – has rubbed many businesses the wrong way. “With what went on this summer, it’s part of a multitude of topics,” said Malibu’s Surf Shop owner Lee Gerachis. “What [the town] chooses to enforce and not enforce is getting preposterous. It’s starting to just seem strange for a lot of us.” One of the most common complaints from businesses is that street performers are not subject to the same level of taxation. Although some do report their tips on federal returns, they are otherwise exempt from property, payroll, and other taxes. But the level of latitude given to performers when it comes to money is already fairly broad, as the result of the city’s first but lesser-known federal court loss on the issue. In 1995, the city attempted to stop the group One World One Family Now, a spiritual and environmental advocacy group, from selling t-shirts on the Boardwalk. The organization sued, and took the case to court, arguing that their operation supported protected speech. Judge Marvin Garbis ruled against the town. “A ‘starving artist,’ so to speak, can sell his paintings with the expectation of return,” Ayres said. “You don’t’ lose your First Amendment rights just because you can make money.” The city itself has no tax jurisdiction, other than on real property – any other levies must be administered by the state, even if the proceeds are given to the municipality. Ayres said the town has notified the Maryland Comptroller’s office about the growing number of performers, in an attempt to get the state to force performers into registering and reporting their income. This may cut down on the more flyby-night operations. “Honestly, I don’t think [the state] is that interested,” Ayres said.

Treated wastewater to be used to irrigate golf course
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Treated effluent from the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant in West Ocean City will be used for irrigation at Eagles Landing Golf Course, pending the approval of the Worcester County Commissioners following a public hearing on the issue. Additional treated effluent would be redirected to the Ocean City wastewater treatment plant when capacity does not exist at the municipal golf course or the injection wells currently used. The application for the text amendment to the county’s Comprehensive Water and Sewerage Plan Amendment also requests the expansion of the permitted flow from the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant from the currently approved 250,000 gallons per day to 450,000 gallons per day. The Mystic Harbour plant was built with a capacity of 450,000 gallons per day, but to fully utilize that capacity, provisions must be made for the disposal of the treated effluent. The plant now uses shallow groundwater injection wells for effluent disposal. Those wells, however, are not reliable and are permitted for only 250,000 gallons per day of effluent disposal. After negotiations, the mayor and City Council of Ocean City and the Worcester County Commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding that would allow the county to use Eagle’s Landing Golf Course for the disposal of the treatment plant’s effluent. Because of the high quality of the effluent, the disposal is considered a beneficial reuse.
Further, the county’s Comprehensive Plan states that land application of treated wastewater is the preferred wastewater disposal method. County staff investigated the possibility of disposing of some effluent at the Ocean City Airport, but that could not be done because of AFF regulations and “bureaucratic nuances,” Environmental Programs Director Bob Mitchell told the members of the Worcester County Planning Commission during their Sept. 4 meeting in Snow Hill. The mayor and City Council of Ocean City also agreed to allow effluent to be redirected to the existing West Ocean City sewer system during offseason periods when the golf course irrigation system is inactive. They also agreed to connect the golf course, the Humane Society, a maintenance building and the Ocean City Airport to the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant. That will eliminate significant septic systems. In return, the county waived certain connection charges and will complete significant upgrades to the golf course irrigation system. A pipeline is needed between the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant and Eagle’s Landing Golf Course, but some of the pipeline was already installed in anticipation of approval of the changes, Mitchell said. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed changes during their Sept. 4 meeting and found that that they are consistent with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, a finding that is necessary before the county’s final approval.

Marriott parking lifts get negative reaction from city Continued from Page 1 regulations, which were established in 2007 to encourage larger-scale, mixeduse redevelopment on the west side of Coastal Highway. Under the Special Bayside zoning, projects can receive additional height and density rights in exchange for increased setbacks and landscaping. The regulations also limit any exceptions to the city’s parking requirements, which mandate a certain number of off-street, on-site spaces depending on the project’s size and use. “The Special Bayside regulation will not allow you to reduce the number of spaces and/or their size,” said city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith. Currently, the Marriott is short required parking spaces for eight of its 150 rooms – 12 spaces, given that rooms over 500 square feet require 1.5 spaces. The project had previously tried to have the city cede a portion of Sea Bay Drive in order to reconfigure their parking access, but this was found to be illegal under Maryland law since the road already had an existing public use, albeit only for street parking. The hotel’s backers – Virginia-based Palmer-Gosnell Hospitality – have been reluctant to cut the number or configuration of rooms, given that they have already secured a financing agreement with Marriott based on the franchise’s strict design and amenity standards. The dozen proposed hydraulic lifts – which allow a parked car to be hoisted up so another can be parked beneath would be located at the rear of the hotel, fenced off from view, and operated by valets. But creating more parking by using lifts tests the intent of the Special Bayside regulations, officials contended. To get permission for the lifts, the project would need to get clearance from the BZA for a special exception to the town’s parking design code, which otherwise requires “ingress and egress for an automobile without requiring another vehicle to be moved.” However, as Smith said, the Special Bayside zone states that “no special exceptions or variances may be granted to this provision that would allow more or smaller compact spaces,” causing officials to argue that the lifts did indeed represent a compacting of parking, so to speak. “One of the things everyone agreed about for the bayside zone was ‘let’s establish rules and regulations where everybody knows where they are and what you can build,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “That was the trade-off.” Although the council voted unanimously to recommend against the allowance, the legal determination is ultimately dependent on the BZA hearing. “This is just a resolution giving the council’s opinion,” Meehan said. “This is not a change of ordinance, although I think the Planning and Zoning Commission needs to look into that.”

Berlin, WOC getting new, steel utility poles Replacement work to begin Oct. 1; scheduled power interruption set for Dec. 9
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Berlin officials announced during a Mayor and Council meeting on Monday, Sept. 8, that Delmarva Power plans to replace several transmission poles in the area, requiring a four-to-six hour interruption of power on Dec. 9. The company will replace all of the 60-65 foot wooden poles between the Worcester Substation on Old Ocean City Boulevard and Route 50 and the West Ocean City Substation on Golf Course Road with 80-90 foot steel poles. Poles in Berlin will be brown steel, and poles toward Route 611 will be galvanized steel. Delmarva Power estimates the project to run from Oct. 1 through May 2015. The power interruption will affect more than 2,400 Berlin customers and more than 11,000 Delmarva Power Customers. “The entire town will be down for that time period,” said Electric Utility Director Tim Lawrence. Lawrence said the town discussed the possibility of adverse weather conditions with Delmarva Power.
“We talked about the temperature outside – during December it could be pretty cold or snowing or whatever, so it’s all based on weather conditions,” he said. A set minimum temperature was not set, but Lawrence said state restrictions could come into play. “From November through March we cannot shut off anybody, even for nonpayment, unless it’s 32 degrees and rising for 72 hours – that’s state law,” Lawrence said. “That’s going to play into this.” “With any time of planned outage the biggest factor is coordination, and we will certainly coordinate that with the town and its electric system to ensure that everything is done well in advance,” said Delmarva Power Sr. Public Affairs Manager Jim Smith. “If we have a severe cold snap we’ll certainly have to reconsider. Our system operations folks will work around that.” Smith said the upgrades would improve the reliability of electric service in Worcester County. “Delmarva Power is making significant investments to keep power flowing to its customers and – in the event of an interruption – to restore services as quickly and safely as possible,” he said. “In this project we’re modifying infrastructure that was originally constructed about 50
years ago. It’s a sizable project that improves service not only for our customers, but for the customers served by the town of Berlin’s as well.” Along with the wooden transmission structures, Delmarva Power will replace all of the wires and insulation, essentially modernizing the entire corridor. The company is also replacing the manual switch at the tie in point behind the police substation in Berlin with two fully automated switches. “Right now if something happens to the transmission line they actually have to send somebody here to manually operate that switch,” said Lawrence. “Depending on where that person is it could be one or two hours. Being able to do it remotely the way they’re going to have it set up with automated switching, their operator can do it from wherever their operation center is within minutes. We don’t have to wait for somebody to show up.” Berlin, which purchases power from Florida-based NextEra Energy, Inc., uses some Delmarva Power infrastructure. Lawrence said customers in town would not experience rate increases due to the project. It is unclear how much the $43 million project will affect other Delmarva Power customers.
“This is just one of numerous transmission projects that we have (planned) for the next five years,” Smith said. “We’ve spent about a billion dollars across the Delmarva Power service territory.” Smith said he was pleased with his interaction with the Mayor and Council. “I thought it was very well received,” he said. “There were a couple of questions, but I thought the council looked forward to working on the project with us. The biggest component for us will be when we actually tie in to the town of Berlin system in that early December time frame, but that’s why we set up the meeting with them – to inform them about the upgrade. “We place a high value on all of our customers including what I call our ‘wholesale’ customers like the town of Berlin, which own their own electric system,” Smith continued. “We place a high value on providing reliable service to them because our transmission system interconnects to their distribution systems, so that’s a very important relationship that we have with them.” Delmarva Power will host a community meeting discussing the project on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Firehouse on 10124 Keyser Point Road in West Ocean City.

‘Vanishing Ocean City’ book draws crowd to signing With heavy rain pouring down, more than 100 come to buy Mann’s work
PHIL JACOBS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Bunk and Shari Mann pose with local historian and author George Hurley, left, during the book signing for “Vanishing Ocean City,” held Tuesday at the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum. More than 100 people came to have Mann sign his long-awaited book for them.
By Phil Jacobs Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) Hunter “Bunk” Mann has said and written that the two most important turning points in Ocean City’s history were the 1933 Hurricane and the storm of 1962. So with irony in the air, it was raining most of the time Tuesday when Mann with his wife Shari sitting by his side, signed “Vanishing Ocean City,” for a line of people that stretched through the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum. Mann was signing copies of “Vanishing Ocean City,” his newly released book telling the stories of the people who were instrumental in the growth of the resort. On the book’s contents page, Mann writes, “I love Ocean City. As a child, it was my summer playground and where I came of age as a teenager. I worked here every summer while I was a high school and college student and made friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Many of my best memories are of Ocean City and as I began writ-

County angry about price of wholesale rum
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Worcester County is asking for a state investigation into unfair trade practices and false advertising it alleges liquor wholesaler Reliable/Churchill was doing. In an Aug. 27 letter to the Field Enforcement Division of the Comptroller’s Office, county attorney Sonny Bloxom wrote the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control purchased 400 cases of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum in April for the advertised price of $12.79 per bottle. The department made the purchase because Reliable/Churchill’s price sheet stated “this deep price will not return until October.” In June, the department received another flier from the wholesaler continuing to advertise Captain Morgan Spiced Rum at $12.79 per bottle through October. In July, the price for Captain Morgan changed. The department got a new price sheet on or about July 23 that gave a price for the rum at $9.99 per bottle, or $2.80 below the previous price and substantially before the previously advertised October date. This price sheet advertised the new lower price as being good through August 2014. The $9.99 price was not listed on Reliable/Churchill’s Web site or in the

POLICE/COURTS
OP bomb threat The case of a 13-year-old Ocean Pines boy who allegedly threatened to blow up something is being handled by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The Ocean Pines Police Department received information Sept. 7 about a threat of possible violence from a suspected explosive device. The threat was made via texting and social media among juveniles. A picture of the device was transmitted along with the threat. Police identified the juvenile suspect and obtained a search warrant for his residence. The warrant was executed by the Ocean Pines Police Department with assistance from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office and the Ocean City Bomb Squad. During the search, a homemade hoax device, incapable of being detonated, was discovered.
The boy was charged with making a threat of arson, manufacture or possession of a destructive device and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Maryland permit, he reportedly told police.
Handgun in vehicle
A 57-year-old Ocean City man was charged Sept. 5 with malicious destruction of property after he allegedly thrust a pair of scissors into a kitchen table. A woman told Ocean City police she had asked Scott A. Bryant, apparently by telephone, to leave her residence because he had worn out his welcome. During the call with the woman, he caused the damage with the scissors, according to the charging document.
A 52-year-old Pennsylvania man was charged Sept. 7 with having a handgun in his vehicle after a traffic incident downtown. An Ocean City police officer went to Wicomico Street at about 1:30 a.m. in response to a report of a driver hitting a street sign there. That driver, Cameron Lee Jolley, had apparently backed over it with his green Tahoe, which police found parked in a handicapped parking space. When police asked Jolley if he had any firearms in the vehicle, he said a handgun was in the center console, according to the charging document. Although he has a Pennsylvania permit for the gun, he does not have a
Civil dispute
Jail for DWI A 59-year-old Ocean Pines woman was sentenced Sept. 3 to 60 days in jail, with all but four days suspended, for driving while impaired by alcohol.
Linda Cartwright Stine pleaded guilty to the charge in Circuit Court in Snow Hill. Assistant State’s Attorney William McDermott said Stine was unable to do the field sobriety tests, but her defense attorney, Richard Parolski, told the court that she asked to go to the police station to perform the test, which was not allowed. She had been stopped on Route 90 in an area where the road slopes and it was very windy, Parolski said. The winds were reportedly blowing at 20 miles per hour, making the performance of field sobriety tests more difficult. After serving four days in jail, which she will serve two days a week for two weeks, Stine will be on supervised probation for 18 months, must pay a $500 fine and must attend a MADD victim impact.
Exposed Two young women who were charged with indecent exposure after reportedly engaging in a sex act with each other in a vehicle parked outside a north Ocean City business on July 27 appeared in District Court on Sept. 8. Both women pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and were given probation before judgment and a $300 fine. In exchange for the guilty pleas, charges of indecent exposure were not prosecuted.

POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 16 The women, a 21-year-old from Rehoboth, Del., and a 20-year-old from Lewes, Del., reportedly performed sex acts for more than an hour outside a store selling sexually oriented items. When the police officer arrived, he saw two heads pop up from below the back seat headrest. As he approached, they scrambled to cover themselves with clothes but were not quick enough.
Possession of CDS A motorist on Coastal Highway was arrested Sept. 2 for failing to obey several traffic regulations and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. According to Ocean City police, Elizabeth Ann Hampe, who gave addresses in Berlin and Arnold, failed to stop for a red light at 48th Street,
drove with several lights inoperative, failed to stop at a stop sign and parked in a no parking area. Police said Hampe also failed to get back into her car after being told to do so at least five times, did not identify herself and punched the police officer in the face. The officer then punched Hampe in her face and pushed her to the ground to handcuff her, according to the charging document. The interior dashboard of Hampeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Acura was reportedly dismantled so that no interior dash lights worked. Police found a smoking device with marijuana residue and 38 pills, later identified as dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, according to the charging document. Police charged Hampe with assault, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and possession of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine.

Woman runs several blocks to confront credit card thief Man had already started tab, ordered food, beers under name of victim
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) A woman whose credit card was stolen while she was at a downtown bar Aug. 15 ran several blocks to confront the thief after the credit card company representative told her the card was being used at another bar at that very moment. The woman reported her purse stolen to an employee of a Talbot Street bar and police were contacted. When the officer arrived at about 9:45 p.m., however, the purse had been found and the officer left. Case closed. At about 10:30 p.m., the victim realized that several items, including a Chase Visa credit card, her driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license and $38 cash, were missing, so she immediately notified the Chase security department. The Chase security representative told her that the card was being used at an Eighth Street pub at that very moment. Ocean City police were contacted and the woman ran from Talbot Street to Eighth Street. Both arrived at about the same time.
According to the Application, under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2014, Exelon and PHI have agreed to combine (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mergerâ&#x20AC;?), whereby Pepco and Delmarva Power, public service companies operating in Maryland, will become part of the family of Exelon distribution utilities. Pepco and Delmarva Power, electric companies operating in the State, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of PHI. Consequently, the Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval is required under § 6-105 of the PUA because the Merger will result in Exelon acquiring the power to exercise substantial influence over the policies and actions of Pepco and Delmarva Power, and Exelon will become an affiliate of Pepco and Delmarva Power upon consummation of the Merger.

According to the charging document, a man, later identified at Norman Smith, 54, of no fixed address, ordered two beers and some food and started a tab under the name of a woman. Because he seemed intoxicated, the bartender asked him to leave after he ate his food. When asked to pay the $46.90 tab, Smith paid with the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card. Then he walked to a liquor store, but the victim told the clerk there about the man and her stolen purse. Smith reportedly tried to buy liquor using the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card, but the clerk asked him for identification, which he was unable to provide, and held the credit card up to a security camera as evidence. Police arrested Smith and charged him with using anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card to charge less than $100, stealing anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card and theft of less than $100. After being placed in handcuffs, Smith started yelling and threatening police officers as several people watched. He was then charged with disorderly conduct. Smith was being held in the Worcester County Jail. He is scheduled to be in District Court in Ocean City on Sept. 30.

Tourism Comm. reviews enterprise options Move seen as another bid to make city’s services much more self-sustaining By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) In yet another bid to make more city services self-sustaining, the city’s Tourism Commission discussed this week the revenue-generating options available for the resort’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and its associated flagship website, ococean.com. Namely, the commission re-visited the idea of adding additional “tiers” of extra features to the town’s official commerce website, but for an additional fee from member businesses. Further, the idea of offering a weekly “featured listing” – which
would guarantee seven days’ top placement on the site, for a considerable premium – also gained traction. One of the major hurdles to getting more money out of ococean.com and the CVB is the fact that the website service is already so good. CVB members have become accustomed to paying a relatively low rate of $200 annually for a full-featured membership, meaning that there aren’t many yet-unimplemented features that the town could start charging extra for. “I think the price is still just too low…and there’s not enough separation between the tiers,” said commission member Todd Ferrante, echoing the general sentiment of the group. The city’s marketing agency, MGH Advertising, recently re-vamped ococean.com to include better photos, package deals and specials, and other
features on the site’s business list- differentiate between tiers. ings.

Continued from Page 20 Although it would be possible to strip some existing features for a cheaper, lower-tier membership, this would run the risk of losing existing members, or having too many members opt for the lower tier and thus having a less impressive site. “I didn’t want to lose members by offering a lower-level listing,” Abbott said. “We have a pretty robust site as it is…we didn’t want to charge so much that we end up with a site that isn’t worth going to for the visitor.” The commission eventually settled on Mitrecic’s recommendation of a $50 rate increase each year for the next three years, at which point revenue would likely be meeting or exceeding expenses, allowing for some growth in operating costs. The commission also endorsed Abbott’s idea of selling weekly featured listings, which would appear in a much larger box at the top of every page, outside of the random order or search results. Abbott pegged the price for this at $1,000 per week – although the actual value of such a listing is admittedly unknown. The most revenue would likely be garnered by allowing CVB members to bid for the week’s privilege, although the commission agreed that this was somewhat out of the
purview of a government website that is supposed to represent the town evenly, regardless of how much any given business could afford to pay. Similarly, the city floated the idea last year of selling banner advertising on ococean.com – but this was contested by business groups such as the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, which argued that more lucrative establishments would simply buy up the ad rotation and make the website disproportionately representative of higher-end properties. Rather, the consensus this week was that any business wishing to pay a flat rate for a featured week would be entered into a lottery. However, this would need some tweaking, given that certain weeks are more valuable for advertising than others. The city could either charge more for higher-demand weeks, or charge the same $1,000 for a featured listing that rotated with other listings during peak times. “I think there’s a way you can make more revenue, and make more people happy who want to participate, by rotating the listing,” said commission member G. Hale Harrison. The issue will be forwarded to City Council at an upcoming session.

Strong year for city’s employee pension funds Past losses recovered since impact of 2008 recession
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) The city’s pension funds posted strong investment returns this year heading into some major methodology changes next fiscal cycle, according to a recent presentation by the city’s actuarial advisor. “This is a real good year to be an actuary in the public sector,” said Ed Koebel of Cavanaugh Macdonald Consulting. “A lot of the plans have finally been able to realize all the losses that occurred in the market back in 2008-2009.” The values of city’s pension trust funds – one for general employees and the other for public safety, who have a different retirement criteria – are dependent on both the city’s contributions to them, as well as the investment return the funds generate. Simply put, the city’s annual contribution to the funds is amortized based on the funds’ values relative to the projected retirement expenses for all the employees covered by the fund. If the fund loses money in investments, the town’s contribution will go up, and vice versa.
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
BREAKING AWAY Waves crash into the rocks at the inlet in Ocean City on Wednesday, Sept. 10, as the sky cleared up from early-week rain storms.
To keep contributions relatively stable form year to year, investment gains and losses are typically “smoothed” over a five-year period. Over the past five years, the city has gradually assumed all of the sudden loss that the plans experienced in
2009, when investment returns dipped to between $8 and $10 million in the red. Now that these losses have been fully compensated, and market returns are rising, the funds’ positions have drastically improved. The public
safety trust is valued at $49.1 million, versus roughly $57.2 million in projected retirement liability, for a funding ratio of 85.8 percent. The general employees plan is valued at $48.6 million versus $53.6 in liability, for a funding ratio of 90.7

City pension funds catch up with losses incurred in past percent. These ratios are an improvement over the 78.4 and 85.2 percent numbers, respectively, from a year ago. More important for the short term – and the city’s upcoming budget - is a reduction in the city’s annual contribution to the plans, from around $5.7 million last year to $4.6 this year.
‘The liabilities are comparable to the unfunded accrued liability [currently]…but the way they get there is a little different.’ Ed Koebel of Cavanaugh Macdonald Consulting This reduction is not entirely due to investment adjustments. As Koebel explained, any re-assessments of the assumed conditions for the plan will produce positive or negative effects on the funds’ relative value. The only major losses for the city this year were in the “mortality” category – meaning that the city assumed additional liability for retirees not dying off as fast as had been expected. “Great news for them, bad news
for the system, unfortunately,” Koebel said. On the other hand, premature departure of employees before retirement, or lower-than-expected raises, will create a relative gain. Under the current funding methodology, the plans have accrued roughly 6 percent in additional liability each year – although this year, at least, actuarial gains offset that hike. “It’s the nature of the cost method the city uses, which is projected unit credit,” Koebel said. In short, the projected unit credit method accrues future liability, and assigns annual payments, based on the time remaining in the amortization schedule. With investment interest compounding over time, benefits become more costly as an employee ages given that there’s less time to earn return on the funds set aside. Under upcoming policy revisions by the Government Accounting Standards Board – the national regulatory agency for pension funds – all municipalities will have to calculate using an alternative method, known as entry age normal. This creates a more level funding schedule. “The liabilities are comparable to the unfunded accrued liability [currently]…but the way they get there is a little different,” Koebel said.

City adopts streamlined purchasing policy Council will soon be able to drop public bid openings under newly formed plan By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) City Council will soon be dropping many of its biggest meeting time-fillers – public bid openings – under a new revision to the town’s purchasing and procurement policy, adopted this week. Amongst other things, the revised measure will see all vendor bids of less than $100,000 in value be handled within the city’s Purchasing Division and not by the council itself - which currently solicits sealed bids and conducts public openings for everything over $25,000. Although council seemed fine with backing off on its bid-opening responsibilities – which are probably better described as “bathroom break opportunities” during most weekly sessions – there was considerably more consternation about the pitch to raise the limit on staff purchasing cards. “We’re not so big that we can’t control it, but there may be some instances where discretion is not utilized in the way we want it to be,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “There are trade-offs.” Ultimately, council approved the measure that would give staff the abil-
ity to make purchases of up to $10,000 using city credit cards – but with the added caveat that the city’s Internal Auditor will conduct quarterly reviews. The goal of the policy revisions, according to city Purchasing Director Catrice Parsons, was two-fold. Firstly, the revised manual provides a common standard for the city’s various elements in terms of processing and evaluating bids. “We have departments that are doing a lot of these steps already, but they’re doing it independently,” Parsons said. “Not that anybody does anything wrong, but one department may do something different than another. What this manual does is provide consistency across the organization.” For instance, the revised purchasing manual now spells out the methodology for “best value” purchases and how quality should be weighed against cost for any given scenario. It also strictly defines several categories of contract, and how each should be handled. “A lot of these things had been done by our departments, but had never been put in writing,” said city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett. Secondly, the new policy attempts to reduce the volume of administrative costs associated with small purchases. Previously, any purchase over
$500, but under the $25,000 threshold for sealed bids received by council, was still required to have quotes from at least three vendors filed with the Purchasing Department before a check could be written. But for many routine buys, this is unnecessary and actually counterproductive, it was argued. “It’s not cost-effective to take the time to get quotes,” Bennett said. “We’re using an extremely high amount of administrative oversight and time for very small-dollar purchases.” Instead, the new policy will allow purchases up to $1,000 to be done over-the-counter without competitive pricing. Bids over $1,000 will still be required to file price quotes - but all purchases of up to $10,000 can now be put on city cards, instead of having to have a purchase order approved and a check written. “Instead of writing hundreds of small checks to vendors, the Finance Department will be able to pay one check per month to our credit card company,” Bennett said. Although this seems like a considerable jump, Parsons noted that the purchasing cards are actually more easily track-able. “We’re putting the p-card system in the AS400 [the city’s accounting server] so that everyone can go in and see what has been charged and what for,” she said.
Bennett noted that items under $10,000 comprise 98 percent, by volume, of the city’s invoices, most of which acquire multiple layers of approval from the department level up to City Manager David Recor. But these items under $10,000 only comprise 25 percent of the city’s total expenditure by dollar amount. “That’s six or seven steps every time someone touches that [invoice], which is what we call a ‘soft cost,’” Parsons said. “I’ve always thought a lot of [the policy] was redundant,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. But he also noted that using credit cards, rather than having a purchase order reviewed by the city’s budget office, could lead employees to buy things that they think are within their scope but which may cause accounting issues. “Some of them may think an item is in the budget and use their p-card to purchase that item unknowingly,” Mitrecic said. “The difference is that currently, if you use a purchase order, the budget is reviewed to make sure the money is there,” Dare agreed. “The budget can go in an re-allocate to make room… but at the end of the fiscal year, if you had overages and people are still out there buying items under $10,000 with their card, you’re going to have difficulty.”

OCPD soliciting business owners for TEAP Plan would allow police to act as merchants’ agents when trespassing occurs By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) With bikers in town this weekend, and the annual congregation of VW enthusiasts slated to start in less than two weeks, the Ocean City Police Department is soliciting city businesses for what is
being called the Trespass Enforcement Authorization Program [TEAP]. Normally, police are only allowed to enforce a civil action, such as trespassing, if they receive a complaint from the property’s owner. But since many resort owners are absentees, this creates an enforcement problem for motor-related events. Complaints from residents about drivers and riders congregating in unused parking lots – where they drink heavily and harass passers-by –
have been on the rise. But under section 58-81 of the city’s code, property owners are allowed to sign an affidavit allowing the OCPD to act as their agents and investigate the activity of any person located on the property who they suspect to be trespassing - even if no specific complaint has been received. Encouraging owners to sign a TEAP affidavit is one of the ways the OCPD plan to address enforcement over during this fall’s events.
Biker, citizen safety encouraged Cops ask vehicle drivers, motorcyclists to be more aware, cautious in traffic (Sept. 12, 2014) Ocean City will see an increased number of motorcyclists this weekend as they make their way to the resort for the annual OC BikeFest Motorcycle Rally set to take place Sept. 11-14. Sponsored events will take place at various locations throughout Ocean City. The Ocean City Police Department is reminding citizens of a few important safety tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable weekend:
•Be aware of motorcycle traffic. Often people cannot see motorcycles because of blind spots in their car. Be extra cautious of this when driving, especially when changing lanes. •Motorcyclists are reminded that Maryland law requires motorcyclists to wear a helmet while operating or riding on a public roadway. Motorcycles must also have a windscreen in place or the operator must wear an approved eye-protective device. •Driving any vehicle under the influence of alcohol poses a serious danger to the driver and others nearby and will not be tolerated by Ocean City officers.
•When traveling by foot, always use crosswalks when crossing city streets. Drivers are strongly encouraged to be extremely vigilant while driving and be aware of all pedestrians, bicycles and scooters. •If you see any criminal activity including racing or dangerous driving, attempt to safely get a good description of the vehicle and person and contact police at 410-723-6600. In hopes of a safe and successful OC BikeFest event, the Ocean City Police Department reminds all drivers and motorcyclists to share in the responsibility of keeping all drivers safe and do your part by safely sharing the road.
“There are some properties that have signed up already,” said OCPD Public Information Specialist Lindsay O’Neal. At this week’s city Tourism Commission meeting, the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association reported that a pre-bike week meeting with the OCPD over the issue had been a success. “Everybody is on the same page to make sure the event is controlled and has a positive future,” said HMRA President G. Hale Harrison. The OCPD has also pitched the idea to several business groups, including the HMRA, of introducing an ordinance that would prohibit open containers of alcohol in unenclosed areas – even if those areas were private property – without a permit. Although many were understandably resistant to the idea, some sort of compromise may be in the works for next year. “We certainly don’t want these events to grow out of control, because then the events will just go away,” said HMRA Executive Director Susan Jones. “There is a spirit of cooperation to try to help the police have more tools.” According to OCPD records, the Thursday-through-Sunday span of OC Bike Fest last year saw 1,514 calls See POLICE Page 29

This included 40 traffic collisions, 19 DUI arrests, and 15 domestic assaults. The TEAP program could also be a major factor for the H2O International, an event for late-model VW and Audi enthusiasts slated for the weekend of Sept. 27-28. The H2OI presents a unique problem in that the event itself is not in Ocean City at all, but at Fort Whaley. However, participants stay almost exclusively in the resort, and with no organized venues in-town, they congregate in any open area they can find, particularly in the week leading up to the car show itself.
‘We certainly don’t want these events to grow out of control, because then the events will just go away. There is a spirit of cooperation to try to help the police have more tools.’ HMRA Executive Director Susan Jones However, the H2OI actually had less major issues than bike week last year. During the Thursday-Sunday span before and during the show, the OCPD logged 2,003 total calls or service, but only 38 collisions, 10 DUI arrests, and eight domestic assaults. But the VW event also had 47 nonDUI alcohol actions, likely for underage drinking given that the H2OI caters to a much younger crowd. The OCPD also conducted 1,245 traffic stops over the H2OI, versus 825 for Bike Fest.

WCDC offers vocational aid to developmentally disabled Center provides many jobs, employment training to 65 area clients on daily basis
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Built in 2011, the massive Worcester County Development Center in Newark serves 65 clients on a daily basis, as well as several dozen others who work in the community.
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) A massive new facility has helped the Worcester County Development Center more than double its ability to help area clients with developmental disabilities. Formed in 1971, the nonprofit assists adults in Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. Program Administrator Jack Ferry said WCDC started like many other grass roots organizations – in basements and garages. “The parents saw that after school was out there was nothing for their children to do, and so they got together and it started with recreational activities and things like that,” he said. “Pretty much across the country any of these organizations that are 40, 50, 60 years old – that’s how they started.” The original building burned down in 2007. Rebuilt in 2011, the new 34,000 square foot facility serves 65 clients on a daily basis, along with several dozen more that work in the community. “It was a blessing in disguise be-
cause the old building was a 70-yearold school house,” said Ferry. “We’re growing. We have referrals coming in on a daily basis, so now we can provide more opportunities for more people. We’re able to do a lot more than we were in the old facility.” Money from the county, state, grants and big mortgage, according to Ferry, paid for the facility. Additional funding comes from the Friends of WCDC auxiliary and other nonprofits including the United Way. Today the center focuses on jobs and job training. WCDC places lowfunctioning clients in “day-hab” areas that focus on sensory stimulation and recreational activities. Higher functioning clients – the vast majority at the center – perform a range of tasks for dozens of different local businesses. WCDC processes more than 1,000 pounds of laundry each day for coastal rentals and hotels in Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, grows plants in an onsite greenhouse, cooks and provides off-site catering, performs lawn care, and repackages and assembles items for Bel-Art Products, Inc. in Pocomoke. “When somebody comes in – and they can be a self-referral, they can come from the school district, the state can give us a referral, or a family

OPA leadership wastes no time reorganizing President Dave Stevens proposes six new areas to improve board efficiencies
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) New OPA leadership did not waste any time in reorganizing the Board of Directors, effectively streamlining procedure and standardizing future meeting dates through 2015 during an assembly on Wednesday, Sept. 3. Newly elected Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors President Dave Stevens called the meeting and proposed six new procedures in an attempt to give Board members more information ahead of time, make the meetings more transparent for media and OPA members, and reduce the

duration of meetings. The new president asked that Board members receive all items of discussion at least three days ahead of time, with presentations and reports submitted and approved in advance. Stevens also asked for briefer General Manager Reports, posting of financial reports online on the same day the Board receives them, imposing a five-minute limit on public comments and reading action items at the conclusion of each meeting. Board Director Sharyn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare objected to the notion that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Board members could not make new motions during meetings unless they provided materials ahead of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are cases (where) things come up and we need to have a discussion,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a motion is proposed it may not be what we really want to do after weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discussed it. Then we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have another motion submitted because it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been presented three days in advance.â&#x20AC;? Stevens clarified that the Board can make adjusted motions â&#x20AC;&#x153;as appropriate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The material that will support the decision is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the motion itself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inappropriate is to make a motion on a significant decision when all the information is not provided in advance.
The Board basically is making its mind up without that information.â&#x20AC;? On requiring advance materials Stevens said he wanted the Board to be able to â&#x20AC;&#x153;focus in on â&#x20AC;Ś whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No surprises â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to say,â&#x20AC;? said Board Vice President Marty Clarke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in agreement on one thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if a member of this Board of Directors wants to bring a topic to the agenda of this Board of Directors they have a right to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Board Parliamentarian Tom Terry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in agreement of that.â&#x20AC;? Stevens asked that General Manager Bob Thompson submit reports to the Board in writing with suggested topics for discussion, as opposed to giving a full presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a special topic that requires a presentation â&#x20AC;Ś that should be submitted to the board in advance and it should be put on the agenda as a separate topic,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fundamentally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no surprises.â&#x20AC;? Stevens said the new procedure would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;faster, and it zeroes in on the information we need.â&#x20AC;? Clarke complained that previous General Manager Reports did not provide enough advance materials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see this stuff in advance,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise why are we here?â&#x20AC;?

Terry, meanwhile, balked at the notion of doing away with presentations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea that there not be a presentation by the GM or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not required â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve served on boards at executive levels as well, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never served with or in a corporation that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Power Point presentations to executives that were overviews of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? he said. Board Treasurer Jack Collins said, in his experience, leadership generally received information in advance rather than rely on direct presentations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what board you served on, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you what â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying that critical issues are brought to a board for a board to make a decision that day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say that corporation had a hard time getting a decision done,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to the sentence (in the proposal) that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a presentation by the GM is not required,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Terry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m simply reporting that my experience has been that you get an overview of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the community from the guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running it day-to-day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last few years we have had general discussions at the Board level to have a sense of what was going on in the community that did not end with a motion for us voting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on something,â&#x20AC;? Terry continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a purpose behind it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so that the Board of Directors would have a sense of what was going on in the community. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not against (the proposal). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m simply saying to flatout say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no presentation from the General Manager on the state of the nation and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said a presentation is not required â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe everything he has to

Stevens wants more transparency for OPA say is (on paper). If we don’t understand it we can ask questions on it.” “That becomes a presentation in of itself, Tom,” Collins said. “You’ve got my feedback,” said Terry. Stevens attempted the get the meeting back on track. “I understand that this is different, but it’s not something that I just pulled out of my head,” he said. “It’s something we’ve done before successfully. “In terms of getting a general state of the community … I would suggest that that’s not what we’re there for. We’re there to look at specific information, have specific discussions that lead at some point in time to specific actions. I think if we focus on that we will get more things done and we will spend less time doing it.” O’Hare voiced a concern that viewers – the OPA broadcasts meetings on their website – would not have the benefit of having seen written reports in advance. Stevens countered that the General Manager’s report would be published on the website and be available in hard copy at least three days in advance.
“Everybody gets to follow along,” he said. Stevens promised to publish monthly financial reports online, and said the General Manager could give quarterly reports to the Board. Currently, Thompson said he withheld financial reports from the public for two-to-three days following a meeting as a courtesy to Board members. “I’ve never worked anywhere where the board has not been given information a little ahead of time so they could get their arms around it before they’re asked by membership,” he said. “My intent of a couple-day delay was a professional courtesy.” “There’s no reason that anybody in this room or somebody sitting over at Taylor’s having a beer right now isn’t just as entitled to those numbers as I am,” Clarke said. “I don’t think (a delay) is necessary. I’ve got five or six years on the Board and I don’t remember the first phone call from anybody catching me short on any of the numbers.” “That’s because nobody has seen any of the numbers before a Board meeting – including the people on the Board,” Stevens said.
Clarke said there had been two meetings this year in which the Board had not received any financial numbers in advance. “I have no problem at all with building a one-day delay into it,” said Stevens. “Right now the numbers aren’t there, period. (Last month’s) numbers aren’t there as of today. That’s the change.” “I think the important thing we’re trying to accomplish is informing the membership as to what is happening in terms of numbers, in terms of progress, in terms of finances of the organization,” Collins said. “I appreciate Bob’s point in that he’s trying to be courteous (to the Board members). However, I also agree with David that it is in the best interest to the most people within this community to put that information out to the public. The best way to do that we know is through the website.” Previous Board Resolution B-02 limited public comments to five minutes. Stevens said future comments would “be directed through the Chair.” At the end of each meeting the Board Secretary, currently Pat Renaud, will review any actions result-
ing from the meeting, per the proposal. The Secretary will maintain a pending action list used to set the agenda for future meetings and reporting. Board members agreed to amend the proposals according to the discussions that occurring during the meeting and vote on them electronically before the next meeting. The Board normalized all future meetings to either Thursday at 3 p.m. or Saturday at 9 a.m. Meetings will be held in the Assateague Room in the Community Center unless otherwise noted. Upcoming meetings were set for Saturday, Sept. 27, Thursday, Oct. 23, Thursday, Nov. 20, Saturday, Nov. 22, Thursday, Jan 8, Thursday, Jan. 29, Saturday, Feb. 21, Saturday, See DIRECTOR Page 36

Three charged in ‘strong arm’ WOC robbery of woman
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Three people were arrested and four young children were taken into protective custody Wednesday after a strong arm robbery in West Ocean City. The victim, a woman who was walking home from work in the area of Mattress Discounters at about 1:30 a.m. when a silver vehicle pulled up next to her and two women got out of it, assaulted her and stole her purse, which contained a substantial amount of money. The suspects then got back in to the vehicle and left the area. Members of the Berlin Police Department discovered the stolen items on the shoulder of Route 50 and Maryland State Police troopers located the vehicle in Wicomico County. Inside were Kaleah N. McMillan, 24, Latasha Renee Tucker, 25, and John Garcia Scott, 26, all of Washington, D.C. All three were arrested. Also in the vehicle were four children, ages 8 months, 4, 5 and 6 years old. Police contacted the Department of Social Services, which took the children into protective custody. The three adults were each charged with strong arm robbery, theft over $1,000, first- and seconddegree assault and reckless endangerment. Tucker and Scott were also charged with making a false statement to a law enforcement officer. The suspects were taken before a District Court commissioner and held on bond.

Panel votes to support village cemeteries Planning Comm. backing unanimous for grounds, chapels, mausoleums
By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) In recognition of the fact that villages customarily have cemeteries, the Worcester County Planning Commission voted Sept. 4 to send a favorable recommendation to the county commissioners to allow cemeteries in village districts. “I think every village should have a cemetery,” Commissioner Wayne Hartman said. No fewer than 12 cemeteries are in the Village District in various parts of the county and cemeteries had been permitted before the last rewriting of the Zoning and Subdivision Control Article in 2009. Leaving them out of the rewrite was merely an oversight, Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, wrote in an Aug. 21 memo to the Planning Commission. The commission voted unanimously in favor of Tudor’s text
amendment that would permit cemeteries in the Village District by special exception. That amendment states that cemeteries, including family burial grounds, chapels and mausoleums, shall have minimum lot area requirements of 40,000, lot
widths of 200 feet, front yard setbacks of 35 feet and no side or rear yard setbacks unless imposed by the board. No structures, monuments or grave sites shall be located in any required yard setback. Planning Commission Chair-
woman Marlene Ott wanted to put the grave issue to rest, but Hartman objected and said people on the other side of a cemetery in Whaleyville could not be buried there. When asked why not, Hartman said, “Because they’re alive.”
New immunization rules in place Parents urged to make sure kindergarteners, seventh graders up to date on shots (Sept. 12, 2014) New immunization requirements will take effect for students entering kindergarten and seventh grade this fall. Immunizations are vital to protect children from potentially serious diseases. Students entering kindergarten will need to have proof of two varicella vaccinations, and students entering the seventh grade will need to have proof of one Tdap (Tetanus-
diphtheria-attenuated pertussis) and one meningococcal (Menactra or Menomune) vaccination in addition to the previously required vaccines. Parents of students entering kindergarten and seventh grade are encouraged to contact their child’s doctor now to make sure their child’s immunizations are up-to-date with these requirements and to schedule an appointment for vaccines if needed. Worcester County Health Department will be offering three immunization clinics to help Worcester County students who do not have a
doctor or lack insurance that covers vaccine and are at risk for exclusion from school if not appropriately immunized. Clinic times are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments are encouraged but not required.

Natural Resources Police report overall safe holiday Interacted with 8,900 boaters, hunters, park visitors; 6 percent hike
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
SUNDAY STROLL After a hot and humid week, thousands flock to the Ocean City Boardwalk on a cloudy Sunday, when the temperature was in the low 70s.
(Sept. 12, 2014) Marylanders celebrated the end of summer by having a safe Labor Day weekend on state lands and waterways, the Natural Resources Police reported. For the second consecutive year, the holiday passed without a fatal boat accident. The early goose and dove hunting seasons got underway on September 1 without a mishap. “We commend the recreational community for heeding the call for vigilance, both on water and land,” said Col. George F. Johnson IV, NRP superintendent.
Learn About Delmarva Power’s Project to Improve Reliability in Worcester County At Delmarva Power, we’re committed to investing in the communities we serve by providing safe and reliable service. That’s why we’re planning to rebuild an electric transmission line between Berlin and Ocean City.
“Our officers made fewer criminal arrests and issued fewer citations during the three-day period,” he continued. NRP interacted with 8,900 boaters, park visitors and hunters, an increase of 6 percent over last year. Officers issued 327 tickets, down 6 percent from last year, and made five criminal arrests, compared to 11 last holiday weekend. As part of a stepped-up maritime enforcement campaign, officers conducted safety inspections on 1,479 recreational vessels statewide, a nearly 14 percent increase over last year. Seven people were arrested for impaired operation of boats or vehicles ─ the same as last year ─ and issued 69 citations for alcohol violations, compared to 121 last year over the same period. NRP recorded 10 boating accidents with injuries, the same number as in 2013. The most serious occurred on Aug. 31, when a boat getting underway in Ocean Pines exploded, causing non-life threatening injuries to five adults. The agency will continue to press its maritime safety message this fall ─ especially with the “Star Spangled Spectacular” the weekend of Sept. 1214 in Baltimore ─ while also ramping up its hunting enforcement operation and preparing for the State of the oyster season. “Although summer has ended, Marylanders will still be able to enjoy many more weekends outdoors,” Johnson said. “We hope everyone will keep their guard up, whether it is on the water, in our State parks or on the trail. Working together, we ensure that safety is not just a slogan,” he added.
OBITUARIES You are invited to learn more about this project at the following meeting: 7 p.m., Tuesday, September 16 Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company - Station 5 10124 Keyser Point Road Ocean City, MD Delmarva Power representatives involved with the project will be on hand to provide more details and answer any questions you may have.

PHOTO COURTESY JOHN AND JEAN DAVIS
Michigan native John Davis completed a 3,600-mile, cross-country journey by bike from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to Ocean City, where he ended his ride Monday. The trip raised nearly $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association, which funds research and care for victims of the disease that claimed his mother’s last years in 2010.
Cross-country bike ride to raise funds for Alzheimer’s org.
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) A Michigan man with a penchant for travel ended a 3,600-mile, cross-country bike ride in Ocean City Monday. For 64-year-old John Davis, the trip doubled as a way to fulfill a longtime dream and a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association, which funds research and care for victims of the disease that claimed his mother’s last years in 2010. “It was an idea I’ve had for a long time,” Davis said from his hotel room here Tuesday. “I’ve been a bicyclist for a long time and it was something I’d read about. In 2012, I got rid of my home and decided to travel abroad for awhile and while I was there, I realized I have the freedom do to whatever I wanted.” Returning from his travels in Europe and Asia in last December, he and his then-fiancé Jean moved to Florida for winter training. The next spring, they made the drive to the
West Coast and June 1, Davis set out on his bike from the northern end of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. The ride turned out to be “nothing like I expected,” he said. “I found out there was a lot more to see than I would’ve ever imagined,” Davis said. “One of the most unique things was finding unique things where I never thought I’d find them,” such as on the road through Kansas. National Parks highlighted the roundabout trip, which took him
north to Michigan to see old family and friends and also led him new friends, such as an Iraq war veteran from Vermont who roams the country on foot. “You meet these people. It’s just very interesting — it’s sort of the back door through the United States,” he said. “Out of 180-some days, I only spent 60 days in hotels because I knew so many people.” The whole trip would’ve been impossible without his wife, Jean, who See JOURNEY Page 43

Journey raises about $2,000 for Alzheimer’s Assoc. Continued from Page 41 followed in the van along the way, he said. Davis’ journey raised roughly $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association on the fifth anniversary year of the benefit his sister Mary Pat Hanson set up in memory of their mother, Patsy. “It isn’t much, but I’ve told all my friends, every little penny counts,” he said. Ending in Ocean City carried its own meaning for Davis, who vacationed in the resort with his family when he was young, he said. He and Jean plan to spend the winter in Sarasota Florida before setting out for their next adventure. They aren’t sure where that will be — this country or Europe. “I’d like to bicycle across Europe,” Davis said, but “there’s still a lot of the United States I’d like to see, too.” “It was just a very interesting trip,” he added. “Sometimes looking back, it’s hard to believe it really happened.” Find his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BicyclingForAlzheimers or his Walk to End Alzheimer’s donations page at http://bit.ly/1qD1PkI.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An offer to help with a stalled project should reassure you that you have a workable plan in spite of the problems in getting it up and running. The week’s end brings more positive news.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A past problem about a workplace situation re-emerges early in the week. Talking things out helps ease tensions by midweek, but some hurt feelings could linger a few more days.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Optimistic aspects dominate your efforts. However, expect to confront some criticism, some of which might be valid, so keep an open mind. But overall, it’s your views that will count. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Social interaction with new people, especially on the job, could be a bit strained in the early part of the week. But the awkwardness passes as you get to know each other better.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect news about a follow-up to a workplace change that could make a difference in your career path. Meanwhile, new friends widen the circle for all you Social Lions who love to party. Enjoy your well-earned plaudits for a job well done. But be aware that some people might not share your colleagues’ admiration, and you might have to work harder to win them over.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good week to recheck your
probably already overlong “to do” list and decide what to keep and what to discard. Lose the clutter and focus your energy on what’s really important.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to take a new
perspective on what you’ve been offered. Expanding your view could help to uncover any plusses or minuses that weren’t apparent at first.
2011 Restaurateur of the Year
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Applying the usual meth-
ods to this week’s unique challenges might not work too well. Instead, use your creativity to find a way to resolve any impasse that develops.

obstacles in your path this week? Just keep in mind that the surefooted and resolute Goat can get past any barrier by focusing on the goals up ahead.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This week calls for better commu-
nication with people in both your private life and the workplace. Start by asking questions, and then pay close attention to the answers.

Annual BreastFest to benefit Del. Breast Cancer Coalition Six bands scheduled to perform; also raffles, tattoo contest and drink specials
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Ocean City’s (Save the…) BreastFest is bringing live music, raffles, drink specials and a tattoo contest with prizes back to Pickles Pub tonight. Events kick off at 7 p.m. and continue until close at the bar on Eighth Street. There is no cover charge, though the suggested donation is $5 at the door for the fundraiser for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, the group that supported BreastFest organizer Michele Hogsett while she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and I just decided that I wanted to put on this event a year later to benefit some of the organizations that helped me out when I was going through treatment,” she said. “The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition really helped me a lot.” From driving patients to appointments to mentoring those undergoing treatment, the coalition provides resources and support for those with breast cancer. It serves patients in all three Delaware counties as well as

Last year, more than 700 came to BreastFest, raising around $1,500 for the Breast Cancer Coalition, Hogsett said. The pub reached capacity, so visitors might want to come early to the 2014 event. BreastFest kicks off at 7 p.m. tonight with live music starting at 8 p.m. by Front Page News, Fuzzbox Piranha, Witches Brew, Something Grey, Chainbreak and Native Grave. Attendees get a ticket for raffle prizes that include two-night stays at the Comfort Inn Gold Coast and Holiday Inn; gift certificates to Chauncey’s Surf Shop, Phillips Seafood Restaurant, Beach Music and Fox Theaters; a Malibu’s Surf Shop gift bag; a beauty basket; a framed print by local photographer Francie Davis; an LED light kit for motorcycles from Wrench’s Repair;

and a five-gallon bucket with $60 of car and home supplies from Rommel’s Ace Home Center. They can purchase addition tickets for $5 each or $20 for an arm’s length. BreastFest will also feature a tattoo contest this year. For a $5 donation, entrants will compete to see who has the best ink and gets to take home a basket of cheer, filled with adult beverages. Attendees can also purchase tickets for a 50/50 raffle for $1 each or $10 for an arm’s length strip. Ven-
dors Cupcakes in Paradise, Paul the Key Chain Guy and Juice Plus will be onsite selling baked goods, engraved key chains and healthy drinks, with a portion of their proceeds to benefit the Breast Cancer Coalition. Pickles will again feature its pickle shots and Natural Lights for $2 each. “We have such great support from the businesses in Ocean City,” Hogsett said.

Local Making Strides group launches new fundraiser Inaugural ‘Brews for Boobs’ events to take place every Thursday through Oct. 30
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Ocean City’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer chapter planned to launch its newest fundraising event last night, Thursday, at Backshore Brewing Company on Ninth Street and the Boardwalk. “Brews for Boobs” will continue pouring craft drafts at breweries in and around Ocean City every Thursday, now through Oct. 30, to raise money for breast cancer research and services. It is the newest event in the Pink Ribbon Classic series, an assortment of local events designed to raise breast cancer awareness and garner money for the American Cancer Society, though it is not an official Making Strides event, organizer Yesim Karaman said. A former volunteer and new Making Strides committee member, she wanted to start an event for adults of all ages to enjoy. “I wanted to have a fundraiser without forgetting that it can be a great time,” Karaman said. “I just reflected back on (the) fundraising
event at Burley Oak last year, where guest bartenders Chip and Hobb, from OC Wasabi, donated to MSABC… I thought, ‘Why not do it again this year, but bigger.’” She met with De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub Manager Mike Lee to brainstorm the event. “His mom is a breast cancer survivor and he was immediately on board,” Karaman said. “We sat around a high top at De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub and brainstormed how we wanted to have this event.” They landed on a series of evenings at different breweries in and around Ocean City, rather than one big event, “because each brewery is so unique that we wanted everyone to enjoy each event on it’s own,” she said. During the event from 7-10 p.m. each Thursday, the hosting bar will donate a portion of its profits to the ACS. There will also be raffles to contribute to the cause. Bands and deejays might make an appearance at Brews for Boobs events later this season, but that’s still in the works, Karaman said. “Everyone is excited about this fundraiser. Breast cancer touches so many different people in so many different ways,” she said. “We’re really hoping the first year is a success beSee DONATIONS Page 54

OC Coastal Cleanup, Sept. 20 (Sept. 12, 2014) Join the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, the Town of Ocean City, the Ocean City Surf Club and Delmarva Power in celebrating Ocean Conservancy’s annual International Coastal Cleanup, Saturday, Sept. 20, and take the pledge of “Take on the Trash.” Throughout the country, people will be taking the time to celebrate this annual day by picking up trash. Last year, 648,015 people picked up more than 12 million pounds of trash (12,384,427) in more than 92 participating countries for Coast Day. Everyone and anyone is welcomed and encouraged to join in paying it forward by picking up trash. The event starts at 10 a.m. at Ocean City Town Hall on Third Street where volunteers will receive trash bags, latex gloves, trash tally sheet and a commemorative T-shirt. The event will run until noon.
Tally cards can be dropped back off at Town Hall or mailed to the Ocean Conservancy. Thanks to Delmarva Power’s involvement in engaging environmental, governmental and business organizations in this region, volunteers in more than 50 locations throughout Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey will participate in this event. The annual cleanup in this area started in Delaware 27 years ago. In 1994, the local cleanup effort expanded to include Maryland and Virginia. Eventually, New Jersey was added to the mix. To participate in the Ocean City Cleanup, show up or register ahead of time by contacting Sandi Smith at sandis@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297 ext. 107. Results from this cleanup will be included on the Ocean Conservancy Web site.

Seventh Arts and Jazz Festival at Freeman Stage
(Sept. 12, 2014) The Freeman Stage at Bayside is gearing up to host its 7th annual Arts and Jazz Festival beginning Saturday, Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. The festival, which showcases live jazz performances and the work of local artists, is a favorite of area residents. “This event is a wonderful celebration of art and artistic expression,” said Patti Grimes, executive director of the Joshua M.

For children, there will be hayrides on the beach from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. all four days of the festival. The 39th annual Sunfest scored big, drawing the festival’s largest crowd since 2008 and topping its average attendance by more than 10,000 people. The four-day festival saw more than 186,000 come through its gates. “It was a beautiful weekend. Attendance was great. Concerts sold,” said Special Events Coordinator Brenda Moore. “Sunfest is certainly one of our longest-standing events and something that brings out people of all different interests and all different ages,” Waters said. “Whether you like to come for the food or for the live entertainment, or you like to shop the tents, there’s something for everyone.”
Sunfest hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 19-21, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22. Because parking is very limited, visitors should consider taking the bus to the festival grounds. The West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50, just west of the bridge, provides free parking and a $3 ride-all-day shuttle service to and from South Division Street, a block from Sunfest. The Special Event express shuttle service will pick visitors up from the convention center, where they can park for free, and take them directly to Sunfest for a $3 ride-all-day fare. The Boardwalk tram will also be in service during Sunfest with fare running $3 each way. For more information on bus fares, call Ocean City Transportation at 410-723-1606.

It’s a fun, casual evening.” Last year, around 900 showed for the Beach Bash, raising approximately $43,000 for Believe in Tomorrow, he said. It’s not unusual to see lines out the door starting at 4 p.m. for the event that starts at 5. The party features silent auctions, raffles and other games, but the high-
light is the food, Littleton said. “The restaurants make the event,” he said. “For $50 you can eat all the desserts and food, drink all the craft beers and soda you want.” He’s still finishing the lineup, but around 30 local restaurants will have fare for attendees to sample at the dine-around event. Portions are small so diners can sample from many of the local joints. It’s a win-win, Littleton said, because it also lets restaurants showcase their menus to a mostly local crowd. “What better advertising than having your food out there and letting people taste it,” he said. In addition to bottomless beer, Seacrets will sell wine and other spirits at happy hour prices during the event, he said. The Beach Bash also features more than $10,000 in cash prizes, including a $10,000 prize for one lucky winner. Every 50th ping pong ball drawn from a pot earns the corresponding ticket-buyer a $500 prize and the 225th ball drawn is worth $10,000, Littleton explained. If more than 225 people buy raffle tickets, a second pot of ping pong balls worth the same amount enters the drawing. Last year, winners took home more than $30,000 in cash prizes, Littleton said. “It gets pretty exciting at the end,”
he said. “We give away half of what we take in.” There will be a silent auction with items from autographed sports memorabilia and a set of Ravens football tickets to jewelry, a three-hour private party at Secrets and a chef for the evening. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and “duck pond” where guests can draw a rubber duck for a chance to win prizes such as jewelry from Park Place Jewelers. Full Circle will provide live music throughout the evening. Tickets to the Beach Bash cost $50 each for the food sampling or $100 each for the food sampling and a chance to win cash prizes up to $10,000. Proceeds will help run the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street, which hosts families year-round for a free trip to the beach. “The more money we make the more we can do here,” Littelton said. “We’re always looking to improve.” Purchase tickets in advance by calling him at 410-723-2842. Or, buy tickets at the door for $55 for just the food sampling or $100 for the food sampling plus raffle. The Beach Bash runs from 5-10 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 22.

Year-round living in resort appeals to baby boomers
By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) We love it when they come and we love it when they leave. Not to worry, by December most parents will be grateful for a two-day visit from their kids. H’mmm! With the dog or two? Maybe? Looks as tho’ year-round livin’ in OC appeals to the baby boomer generation. They’re settling on Delmarva in great numbers. When it comes to music, every generation prefers to listen to what they consider “cool.” Due to a span in ages of my “8 is enough” family, when it came to their music, trust me kids, this old broad suffered thru about four eras. No matter the age, they loved it loud. No doubt in my mind why today’s musicians wear ear plugs. Back in the days of yore, would you believe my sister-in-law actually danced on the radee’o for a listeningonly audience? Surely all residents of OC have noticed the beautiful, freshly landscaped areas around town, plus the renovations being done to the older buildings and sections of downtown.

Read Kemp’s column for upcoming events Continued from Page 59 impression I was hooked on Little Debbie donuts. I’m stuck with a ton of them. So many I could open a business. I was wondering if they could be glued together, left to harden and used as a spare tire? Sorry kids, I’ve aged. My tastes have changed, my favorite donuts are now locally produced in my neighborhood. Strolling, trolling, doling, or just out cajoling their visitors around our town I found Waldo and Kathy Weaver, Dottie Grimes, Rich and Irene Hansen, Jack and Lorraine Taylor, Sara Gray, Dick and Kathy Kahn, Ken McFarlin, Jim and Mary Mooney, Naomi Popolo and Cal, Barbara Giles, Gary and Ann Distler, Jim and Kathy Ebel and Jim and Helen Geslois. Don’t know if these folks have strolled the Boardwalk this summer, but one would surely have noticed the beautiful, freshly, landscaped property and the renovated buildings that have been popping up from the inlet to the Delaware line. Now that our millions of visitors are back home, locals should take a look-see at the mir-
acles produced, thanks to the efforts of the Downtown Association. Even the dumpsters have taken on a new look. The end of the summer hang-up totally takes over my psych these days. Not that I’m getting more than a little riled up about it, but has anyone noticed the cigarettes tossed anywhere and everywhere around town, especially in the sand on the beach? How ‘bout those sidewalks polka-dotted with wads of gum? Why waste tax money by taking these people to court. Probably not legal, but couldn’t we make that an instant $1 or more fine? Just keep adding a dollar each time. Remember money talks and habits are hard to break. My shrink advised me to back off. He actually blew cigar smoke in my face. Lucky for him, he missed. Keep in mind, only believe half of what you read. Watch this column for upcoming events. Ocean City is de’ place to retire, but don’t put off retirement until it’s too late to enjoy. Who knows, attending and spending at the humongous amount of fun fundraisers around our town might determine where your gonna’ live when you go home. CU IN OC

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pain perdu also called French toast Mint, powdered sugar and maple syrup final touches to decadent breakfast
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) The fundamental philosophy of a chef is to develop dishes that heighten any culinary experience to its fullest degree. That being said, should one focus on simplicity or complexity? And what defines the realm of straightforwardness or intricacy? One might argue that a cook who is committed to respecting every ingredient through uncomplicated techniques preserves tradition by recreating its true essence. This is accomplished by comprehending the innate properties of individual foods: is it better raw or cooked, young or aged, by itself or in combination with other flavors, braised, broiled, or fried? This substantiates that know-how is not always attainable from a book. Then there is the other school of thought, culinary education is mandatory for food enthusiasts who want to take their cooking skills to a new level. The intensity of impeccable training allows glorious food to flourish. A small whole chicken nestled on a bed of spring vegetables; diced foie gras and truffles encased in a mille feuille crust for a main course and Charlotte Russe presented on a cloud of spun sugar as a finale are perfect offerings for those who want to show off their advanced culinary talents. But does this menu represent general consensus for a job well done? Therefore, exploration of genius in cookery is necessary no matter which side one favors. One cannot deny that every dish has
a past, present and future. The confluences of memories and emotions are a basic component and must be included in the subject of mise en place. Devotion to truth is an attribute that all levels of skill simmer in agreement and make those who relish cookery profoundly humble. Dishes of great detail know no boundaries. It is in this state of passion and perfection that the explosion of senses can be raised to the state of poetry. Forgetting self-doubt and believing in one’s instincts is the beginning of a love affair with no end. At some point creating a masterful dish must climax with a bouquet of indulgence. Consummation takes on new meaning and the proof is in the accolades. The language of the day and the gastronomical delights that so consume us determines the route of choice. In other words, there is no right or wrong answer. Individuality is the creation of a genius and lends credence to the spice of variety. Hold dear what lies close to one’s heart and trust in your culinary truth. Pain perdu means “lost bread” in French and is another version of what we call French toast. Pain perdu tends to be a much thicker cut of bread than most Americans are use to. Traditional French pain perdu is intended to use up leftover bread, often stale from exposure to air. French baguettes or Italian filone works wonderfully. The secret to pain perdu is to use crusty bread that has been marinated in sweetened heavy cream overnight. Slices must be thick and for this reason the dish must be finished in the oven after they have been briefly sautéed in a hot pan with butter. Fresh mint, powdered sugar and maple syrup are the final touches to a decadent breakfast. Consider warming the syrup before serving; trust me it is well worth the effort. I like to serve the
syrup on the side because some fancy a lot of syrup while others prefer just a little. The addition of fresh berries adds color to the plate which is a feast for the eyes. Omit the brandy and the little ones can also partake. Pain perdu is sinfully delicious. Enjoy! Ingredients Four 3-inch thick slices filone or baguette 4 cups heavy cream 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling 6 to 8 teaspoons vanilla 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon allspice ½ teaspoon ground ginger ½ cup good quality brandy 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 9 eggs 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 generous sprinkles of sifted all-purpose flour 2 cups maple syrup warmed (optional) fresh assorted berries as a garnish 4 sprigs fresh mint as a garnish powdered sugar as a garnish 1. Place the bread in a large bowl and set aside. 2. Whisk together the cream, 1 cup sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, brandy and salt. At this point, taste the mixture and adjust if necessary. Then add the eggs and combine thoroughly. Pour over the bread. Let it rest for 5 minutes and then turn over the bread and again allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Flip one more time, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. 3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat a medium iron skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Sprinkle some flour and sugar on top of the bread slices. When the foam See TOP Page 65

Staffing levels far less than mid-season deployment; last patrolling day, Sept. 21
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) The Ocean City Beach Patrol has been in a reduced coverage scheme since the third week in August (Aug. 18). This reduction in personnel is an annual occurrence and was complicated this year by Labor Day falling on Sept. 1 (the earliest possible date) and by the early 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 begin a week prior to Labor Day. Except our local Worcester County schools, which for the first time began after Labor Day. Reduced coverage is a reduction in available staff and extends until the Sunday of Sunfest weekend, Sept. 21. 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 students, and the remainder taking full-time career positions or returning to their classrooms as educators. Many of these educators are required to return two weeks 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. This year it occurred a week earlier. However, this year we were able to add an additional 25 stands for the See OCBP Page 67

By Suzanne Marcalus, Coastal Drug Institutional Pharmacy If you get your flu shot annually without hesitation, you undoubtedly understand the value of protecting yourself against the ravages of seasonal influenza. But did you know that by protecting yourself, you may also be protecting those around you who are vulnerable to influenza because of age, active disease, or a weak immune system? If you are among the flu-shot reluctant, this may be the year to change, especially if you have people in your life who are flu vulnerable. Science and reformulated injectable vaccines have quelled the notion that individuals can get the flu from their flu shots. All influenza vaccines for injection are formulated with inactivated (killed) virus particles. The CDC has a great website for learning more about influenza vaccines, the viruses they protect against, and the ones they don’t (which explains how patients immunized against the seasonal flu can contract other types of flu-like infections) (www.CDC.gov). With immunization services now an intricate part of pharmacy practice, the public flu vaccination process has become more personalized, with provision of private screening areas, convenient walk-in times, and opportunities to request specific immunizing pharmacists. These pharmacists are often just the coach you need to start your journey to seasonal flu immunization. Okay, you’ve thought it over; you’re getting your flu shot. You’ve selected the place, time, and immunizing pharmacist. What next? Expect to answer some health screening questions (be forthright), provide any insurance information, understand the fee schedule if applicable, and give consent after you review the vaccination information provided. Most people will receive the regular flu shot, which is administered into the upper outside arm muscle. Wear a loose short-sleeved or sleeveless shirt/top. The immunizer needs clear access to the area just below your shoulder joint, which will be examined briefly and cleansed. Some individuals feel a brief stinging sensation from the vaccine itself; others do not. The pharmacist will ask you to remain seated for a short time after vaccination. Adults 18-64 years may be offered the intradermal flu shot. With this option, vaccine is injected within the skin layer using a micro needle and mini pressure burst. Adults 65+ years may be offered the high-dose flu shot, which contains an additional amount of antigen (compared with the regular flu shot) for purposes of eliciting a stronger immune response. This is particularly important in seniors, as declining immune responses are part of the aging process. With any flu vaccination, immunity is not instant and may take up to 2 weeks to develop. Mild soreness at the injection site and other minor effects are possible and should be discussed.

ON GUARD
OCBP encourages swimming in front of guard Continued from Page 65 Labor Day weekend as a direct result of many of our Surf Rescue Technicians making a conscious effort to return for the three days. At this time of the year we rely more heavily on the local educators along with other additional SRTs returning 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 Ocean City beach and pose an increased danger to swimmers. We have seen some powerful rips that can open up at any given time and have caused a few 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 the Ocean City Beach Patrol staff, we will be able to continue providing coverage for all 10 miles of Ocean City beach until Sunday, Sept. 21. Although this coverage will be done with fewer personnel and less lifeguard towers, 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. SRTs will continue to be on duty daily between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.,
although the distance between stands will be greatly increased. The first priority of the Ocean City Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. 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. In contrast to closing out the 2014 season, this is also the time when the OCBP starts testing for new lifeguards for 2015 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. 9 and Aug. 30 and offered appointments to next season’s Surf Rescue Academies to 25 highly qualified candidates. We will need additional staff for next season so we will hold another pre-employment physical skills evaluation planned for York, Pa. in late February. Other lifeguard tests may take
place during the winter at colleges in the mid-Atlantic region or in Ocean City in late May and June, depending on our need. Those individuals who qualify will receive an appointment to a paid Surf Rescue Academy ($12.99/hour) in May or June where all training and certifications will be provided. As you can see the ending of one season blends into the beginning of the next with a lot of the behindthe-scenes planning taking place throughout the winter. For additional information about the testing or training of beach patrol hopefuls click on the JOBS button on our Web site, www.ococean.com/ocbp. Or for daily locations of SRTs, call Ocean City Beach Patrol headquarters at 410 289 7556. Always remember, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” and for your safety, walk the distance and swim directly in front of the nearest Surf Rescue Technician on a stand and only swim when lifeguards are on duty. It’s still a great time to be in Ocean City!

The event begins at 9 a.m. at the North Beach Parking Lot on Assateague Island National Seashore, and usually ends by 11 a.m. This event is part of the worldwide cleanup hosted by the Ocean Conservancy. Free T-shirts will be provided to volunteers (while supplies last) by Delmarva Power. Participants should bring gloves, bug spray, sunscreen and water. Organizers will provide trash bags and tally sheet for tracking collected items and assign cleanup locations. Some volunteers will be able to access sections of the Assateague beaches on vehicles provided by the National Park Service. The Park Service only permits adults and older children in the vehicles. No dogs or small children (those who require car seats) may be transported in park vehicles. Private vehicles with an ORV permit are allowed to clean sections of the ORV zone on Assateague Island National Seashore. No other private vehicles are permitted to drive on the beach.

Lady Seahawks win season opener 1-0 over Warriors
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) A single goal was enough to secure a victory for the Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team during last Friday’s season opener against the visiting Easton Warriors. “The girls played awesome today. The first half was a little iffy, but we really picked it up for the second half and they played their hearts out,” said Decatur Coach Maggie Berke. The teams went into the halftime break scoreless. During their halftime talk, Berke said “we discussed that we need to pick up the pace of the game, we need to do a little bit less touches on the ball, connect passes to feet and just play our game and they got their heads together and did it.” The Lady Seahawks came out in the second half determined and 12 minutes in, senior captain Jillian Petito gave the home team a 1-0 lead. “We just knew we had to come out hard and we needed a goal and so just after halftime we came out as hard as we could.

Stephen Decatur sophomore Lexie VanKirk holds off a charging Easton player and maintains possession of the ball during the Sept. 5 match-up.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team didn’t face much competition in its first match of the season as the Lady Seahawks won easily, 25-10, 25-12 and 25-11, over the Pocomoke Warriors on their home court Monday. “I felt like we looked a lot better than we did at Play Day (Aug. 23). We were more organized and I felt like they knew where they were going (on the court) better,” said Decatur Coach Sarah Purnell. “I still wish we could communicate more and have better passes, but they’re getting there…They’re passing better than what we’ve seen at practices, but they can still improve. There’s always room for improvement.” Senior captain Hannah Adkins led the Decatur offense with four kills. Setter Haley Trice, a senior, chipped in with five aces. The Seahawks went up against stiffer competition the following day. After a long bus ride to Ridgely to battle the North Caroline Bulldogs, the Decatur squad came out strong in the first game, but lost, 25-12. “Our first game, while we lost, we played hard and with intensity,” Purnell said. “Our girls were pumped, communicating and getting lots of touches.” Unfortunately, the Seahawks didn’t perform as well in the second game. North Caroline won, 25-9. “Game 2 was completely different. Not the same intensity,” Purnell said. The girls picked up their level of play in the third game, but the Bulldogs prevailed, 25-16. “Game 3 started slow, but they started to pick it up toward the end,” Purnell said. “North Caroline was good, See SD Page 75

Decatur tops Queen Anne’s 4-1 Continued from Page 74 ball to Payton [VanKirk] to the corner and Payton dropped it back to me,” Petito said. “The goalie was diving and I put it where she came from, in the corner.” Added Berke, “The goal definitely gave us that boost that we needed because the girls were starting to get tired out there and that just motivated them to keep on going.” The Seahawks held the Warriors scoreless to pull out a one-goal victory. Decatur junior goalie Lexi Gausepohl recorded four saves.
“This (win) definitely gives us a huge boost of energy and makes us excited for the next game,” Petito said. “Every game’s a tough game so we’ve got to come out hard every time.” The Seahawks took a trip to Queen Anne’s County to battle the Lions on Tuesday. Petito and Lexie VanKirk each scored a goal in the first half to give Decatur a 2-0 advantage. The Lions cut the lead to one about 10 minutes into the second half, capitalizing on a penalty shot after a handball in the box was called on the visiting Seahawks.
Petito netted two shots in the second half and Decatur won the game, 4-1. Gausepohl logged seven saves. She also assisted on one of Petito’s goals. Gausepohl punted the ball, Petito received it and scored. “I thought we played well in the first half. We got a little sloppy in the second half, but we picked it up and worked together,” Berke said after the match. “I saw a lot of good things happen today.” The Mardela Warriors are scheduled to play the Seahawks Tuesday in Berlin at 5:30 p.m.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) Trailing 14-0 to the Indian River Indians in the first quarter of last Friday’s season opener, the Stephen Decatur Seahawks battled back to even the score, but the home team came up short, 28-21. “We didn’t quit. We continued to fight,” said Decatur football Coach Bob Knox. The visiting Indians scored with 4:30 remaining in the first quarter. They pulled ahead 14-0 with 3:37 on the clock. With just over three minutes to play before halftime, Decatur senior quarterback Justin Meekins handed the ball off to junior Dryden Brous who ran it into the end zone from 24 yards out. Senior Brandon McKenzie’s extra point kick was good. Decatur tied it up 14-14 with 1:50 to play in the second quarter when Meekins saw senior R.J. Hayman in the end zone and fired the ball in his direction from 16 yards out. Hayman reached up and snatched the ball out of the air for the touchdown. McKenzie made the PAT. A minute and a half into the third quarter, Indian River pulled ahead, 20-14. Brous blocked the extra-point attempt. Just before the end of the third quarter, the Indians scored again to take a 14-point lead. Meekins hit senior Matt LeCompte deep in the end zone from 22 yards out and McKenzie’s kick was good to cut the Indian’s advantage to seven with five minutes left in the game. “We tied it up and fell behind again by 14 points in the third quarter, but we kept fighting and we didn’t quit. With about a minute and a half left, we got the ball, but we ran out of time,” Knox said. “A football game is four quarters. You’ve got to play all four quarters. We only played two

quarters–the second and the fourth– and we scored 21 points. They scored 28 points…You’ve got to be ready to go from the first whistle.” Meekins ran the ball 14 times for 106 yards. He was 10-for-16 passing for 124 yards. Brous racked up 35 yards, carrying the ball eight times. Senior Tyrie Adams logged 26 yards on six rushes. Hayman tallied 51 yards on five receptions. LeCompte caught three passes for 42 yards. Brous and juniors Ernest Shockley and Gus Esham led the Decatur defense. Knox said he was happy with some things he saw during the game and disappointed with others. He thought Decatur’s special teams did well, especially the punt team. Meekins punted the ball for the Seahawks and did a great job, Knox said. During practices this week, Knox said the squad worked on fixing things that were not successful during the Indian River game. Decatur will take a trip to Queen Anne’s County to play the Lions tonight, Friday, at 7 p.m. “We’re looking to go up there and get a victory,” Knox said. “We have to be disciplined, we have to be physical and we have to play 48 minutes.”

Worcester Prep senior captain Mattie Maull, center, reaches over the net to block a hit during Monday's match against Holly Grove in Berlin.
Prep volleyball coach pleased with Mallards’ performance By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) Despite falling to the Holly Grove Eagles in three games Monday, Worcester Prep volleyball Coach Kristin Jehle was pleased with her players’ performance. Jehle noticed the Lady Mallards’ level of play improved from the first game to the third. “They were pursuing the ball a lot more, they were more aggressive, they were not letting the ball hit the floor, they got low to pick up tips and they were
reading hitters effectively,” Jehle said. Holly Grove won the first game, 2517. The teams battled in the second, but the Eagles came out on top, 25-21. The Mallards jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the third game. The home team held an advantage for most of the contest. Ahead 18-17, Holly Grove tied it up and went on to win 25-20. “I thought we played much better than the first time we played them (Aug. 28),” Jehle said. “We were communicating better, we were getting the ball over See WP Page 78

Just torrential rain.” Junior Julia D’Antonio provided the Prep squad with a 1-0 lead 18 minutes before the halftime break. “We were flat the first 20 minutes then we cleaned it up after that…we found our space and our shape and our touches and we found each other,” Hartnett said. Sophomore Madison Bescak gave
Worcester a two-goal cushion with 23 minutes remaining in the game. The visiting Dragons scored with 1:10 left on the clock, but the Mallards held on in the final minute for the victory. Worcester junior goalie Grace Tunis stopped four Salisbury School shots. “We had a little drop-off the last five minutes,” Hartnett said. “The first five and the last five are the most crucial times in a soccer game. You can’t let down.” The Mallards will host the Gunston Day Herons for competition today, Friday, at 4 p.m.

WP field hockey wins 7-3 over SC
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) The Worcester Prep field hockey team went head-to-head with the Sussex Central Golden Knights on Wednesday, and the Lady Mallards came back to Berlin with a 7-3 victory. Senior captain Caroline Lindsay scored twice in the first half and sophomores Regan and Leigh Lingo each tallied a goal to give Worcester a 4-2 lead in Georgetown, Del. Junior Isabel Carulli capitalized on a corner play to increase the Mallards’ advantage in the second half. Regan Lingo and senior captain Jordie Loomis also netted second-half goals. Worcester goalies, sophomore Stormy McGuiness and freshman Grace Nichols, combined for five saves. “We played well, but we still have some fine-tuning to do…We’ve got to break some bad habits,” said Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom. “We’re not executing our give-and-goes like we need to. We need to move the ball down the field smoother. We need to work on our passing game and on defense. We have the knowledge, we just need to put the pieces together.” The Gunston Day Herons will come to Berlin today, Friday, to take on the Mallards at 4 p.m. Monday, the Prep squad will go to Georgetown to play the Delmarva Christian Royals at 4:30 p.m.

Mallards outscore Dragons, 5-1 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team struggled against the Salisbury School Dragons’ defense during the first half of Wednesday’s game, but after some adjustments, the Mallards prevailed, 5-1. About 34 minutes into the competition, sophomore captain Owen Nally played the ball to junior Elio Telo, who scored on a breakaway. The visiting Mallards led 1-0 at halftime. “Salisbury School was playing an aggressive, up-tempo defense,” said Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler. “They were running an offsides trap and we were
playing into their trap.” Underkoffler said the Mallards changed their tactics for the second half to better handle Salisbury’s defense. Midway into the second half, the Dragons evened the score. Shortly after, freshman Brendan Miller put Worcester on top 2-1 off a Nally assist. Terry Underkoffler Telo boosted the Mallards’ advantage to 3-1 and sophomore Tate Shockley gave the Prep team a three-goal lead. With about three minutes remaining in the
Decatur golfers play well on challenging Pines course
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 12, 2014) The Stephen Decatur golf team earned its second victory of the season last Thursday at the Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club. “Even though our team score was higher than the first match (of the season) at River Run (Sept. 2) I feel as though we played better across the board,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall.
“Ocean Pines is a very challenging track with more out-of-bounds areas than any other course we play. It’s a great layout; just intimidating for most high school golfers.” Decatur won the eight-school match with a score of 171. James M. Bennett finished second with a 187. Parkside took third with a 189. Leading the charge for Decatur was Delaney Iacona. The senior’s score of 41 earned her medalist honors. Freshman Matt Kinsey carded a 42, senior Brooks Holloway tallied a 43 and sophomore Matt Kristick logged a 45. “We’ve only played two matches thus far, however, I think the players are feeling the pressure of being the dominant team this season. And because of that pressure they aren’t relaxed and playing their own game,” Krall said last Friday. “Bad shots have become an over-exaggerated mental block for them. I think they’ll settle down and be more relaxed next week, understanding that in order to play at their highest level it’ll require them to block out all negative thoughts.” The next golf match is scheduled for Tuesday at Nassawango Golf Course in Snow Hill.
contest, sophomore Aria ZiaShakeri knocked in Worcester’s fifth and final goal. Mallards’ goalie Charlie Pritchard, a junior, stopped four Dragons’ shots. Underkoffler was pleased with senior Sam Deeley’s and junior Wyatt Richins’ defensive play. The team captains were “strong on the ball,” he said. “I thought we played well,” Underkoffler said. “We spread the ball out wider and that gave us more success.” Worcester will host the Gunston Day Herons today, Friday, at 4 p.m. On Monday, the Mallards will travel to Georgetown, Del. to battle the Delmarva Christian Royals at 4:30 p.m.

Six recognized for achievements at OC Chamber Gala
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) Members of the community gathered for a night of food, music and accolades at the sixth annual OC Chamber Awards Gala last Friday at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street. Members of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce recognized six local names for their achievements this year. They were Business Person of The Year Bill Gibbs, of The Dough Roller; Citizen of the Year Dawn Hodge, of The Original Greene Turtle; Young Professional of The Year Sara Sabia, of the Harrison Group Resort Hotels; Volunteer of The Year Madalaine How, of MAD Engineering, Inc.; Non-Profit of The Year Diakonia, Inc.; and OC Chamber Lifetime Achievement Award winner Todd Ferrante, of Park Place Jewelers. “I was very happy about it. My whole family was and my staff was,” said Gibbs, who founded the Dough Roller 35 years ago. “It ‘s a whole lifetime of work.” He attributes his success of his family-owned business to its atmosphere and prices. “We have four nice family restaurants where we serve good food at a reasonable price. We do it pretty quickly. We have nice seating, nice décor, nice restaurants and we’ve been doing it for a long time,” he said. The Dough Roller has earned other awards over the years, including the Restaurant Association of Maryland’s Brice and Shirley Phillips Lifetime Industry Achievement Award. Hodge, who serves as the office manager at the Original Greene Turtle on 116th Street, earned accolades for her work with the American Cancer Society, where she’s chair of Relay for Life of North Worcester County. Though she’s won ACS awards in the past, Citizen of the Year was her first local honor, Hodge said. “I was completely shocked,” she said. “I’ve never had such community recognition.” She became involved with ASC in 2002, four years after her father died from liver cancer. She said she wanted to help those in similar situations access resources. “I really didn’t know where to turn and I wanted to make sure others… have some place to turn — that they have some place to call or look to for answers,” Hodge said. She plans to continue her work with ACS, including a new position on the Rely for Life committee for East Sussex County, Del. Sabia, sales manager at the Harrison Group, has been with the company for

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) In a news release issued by Clear Capital, a provider of data and solutions for real estate valuation, the U.S. housing crisis was dubbed “the lost decade.” Clear Capital’s Home Data Index (HDI) Market Report was released with data through August 2014, and the report noted that the years 2004-2014 are the “lost decade”, where national home prices have remain nominally unchanged. With home prices back to the same levels we were at a decade or more ago, many homeowners have been left with flat or negative equity. Clear Capital noted that this is unusual in the history of the housing market where prices have risen 55 percent over each rolling 10-year period since 1985. Clear Capital predicts a moderate growth, with just 1.8 percent growth through the 2015 forecast. But also stated that, in general, markets that saw slow and steady gains during the bubble years have been better poised to weather the effects of the market meltdown. Included in their data, was a list of the highest and lowest performing major metro markets. Among the highest performing cities were Miami and Atlanta metro areas; among the lowest performing cities were Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metro areas. It was also noted that the Midwest has experienced a longer idle market with home prices at 1999 levels, positioning it as the only region expected to see more than three percent price growth between now and the end of 2015. Furthermore, Honolulu and Denver both escaped a lost decade, with home prices in both markets at historical highs. Prices in Denver are now 10.6 percent above 2004 levels, and Honolulu home prices are at an astounding 70.3 percent higher than 2004 levels. “Two and a half years of recovery hasn’t been enough to bring a close to U.S. housing’s ‘lost decade’,” said Dr. Alex Villacorta, vice president of research and analytics at Clear Capital. “In addition to the obvious drivers of job and wage growth, we need slow and steady price growth to help support the perception of a healthy housing market among homebuyers.” Lauren Bunting is a licensed realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc. serving Worcester and Wicomico counties.

She serves as membership chair of the Maryland Tourism Council, where she reviews bills that affect local tourism, and was named New Tourism Professional of the Year in 2013. “I’m an avid volunteer and it’s something that I’d like to continue growing,” she said. “I’m going to keep that forward movement.” This year’s Volunteer of the Year, How has served positions from the vice chair of the local American Red Cross chapter to a member of the Chamber’s Ambassador Committee. “I like being involved in the community, I like giving back to the community,” she said. “When anybody calls me and asks me to help out, I try to help out.” Originally in the medical field before moving to MAD Engineering, How is especially interested in healthcare volunteerism and is a foundation member of Atlantic General Hospital and co-chair for the hospital’s annual Penguin Swim, volunteer and member of the Development Committee and capital campaign for Coastal Hospice and has been involved with Believe in Tomorrow’s Children’s House by the Sea, to name a few. She is involved with her husband’s charitable activities and visa versa, How said. She takes her grandchildren to ribbon-cuttings “to teach them the importance of being part of the community” and plans to continue her volunteer work, she said. Local non-profit Diakonia, which provides emergency and transitional housing in West Ocean City, received its first key to the city last week, its Executive Director, Claudia Nagle said. “We really strive to be good stewards of the community’s support and to provide those critical services to individuals and families in need,” she said. “It’s wonderful to have the community recognize our commitment to the people.” Among others, Diakonia received an award from the Community Foundation last spring and recognition by the state comptroller several years ago for its work in Worcester County. Coastal Style voted it the best nonprofit in the county in 2013 and again this year, Nagle said. “It’s a huge honor, and one that we’re very grateful for,” she said. “Without the community, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.” Founded in 1972, Diakonia plans to continue its work identifying local needs and seeking funds to address them. For example, the shelter recently won a grant to help provide housing to homeless and threatened veterans for its second year, Nagle said.

Fireplace Supply Company opened Labor Day in Berlin Store offers gas, wood and pellet fireplaces providing ambience, in-home heating
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 12, 2014) With winter just around the corner and some experts predicting a repeat of last year’s frigid temperatures, Berlin’s newest business is poised for a breakout year. Fireplace Supply Company, Inc., located on 10452 Old Ocean City Boulevard near Save A Lot, offers dozens of gas, wood and pellet fireplaces providing ambience as well as in-home heating. Owners Glen and Carla Rantz opened the store on Labor Day. “We’ve been in business since 1999,” said Glen. “We kind of evolved – when we first opened we were just doing construction. From ’99 through 2006 of course it was great over here on the beach and we really didn’t need a store.” After opening a small office space in Pocomoke, the couple saw a need for an expanded retail space in Worcester County. “We’re looking for local people who have gas fireplaces and wood fireplaces that need updating,” Glen said. “It’s a harsh environment on the beach here and most fireplaces only have a shelf life of about 15 or 20 years, so we recognize that there is a need to replace those. “We’re also looking for new construction builders in general in the lower Delaware and Worcester County area,” Glen continued. “We’re looking to expand into that market. We’re trying to get everybody – we want everybody interested in our products.” The store specializes in complete fireplaces and stoves rather than in-
dividual products like tools and accessories. Glen said the showroom is “just a taste of what we have.” “If you don’t see what you want in here chances are you can order it,” he said. “We’re a dealer for a lot of different brands and we’re trying to have something to appeal to everybody. We have zero-clearance fireplaces designed for new constructions and things and then we have inserts, gas logs, and we have stoves of gas, wood and pellets. It’s a small store, but you’ll find a lot of products that cover a broad area.” Glen prefers to take a wholesale approach to his products. Carla, on the other hand, prefers gas units. “It’s the most convenient,” she said. “All you have to do is flick a switch and you’ve got heat. They’re definitely more efficient than they used to be and we carry higher-end brands, so what we carry is definitely efficient.”
‘It’s the most convenient. All you have to do is flick a switch and you’ve got heat.’ Carla Rantz “You have several types of buyers,” Glen said. “You have the buyer that’s looking for ambience and wants a unit that puts out a little bit of heat but they don’t want the mess – they want the comfort and the ease. That’s somebody that falls into a gas fireplace category. You set the temperature and hit a button on your remote control and it’s beautiful.” Other customers looking to avoid high heating bills due to out-of-date heat pumps could benefit from a pellet or woodstove. “If a buyer strictly wants to save on

Owners Glen and Carla Rantz opened Fireplace Supply Company, Inc on Labor Day.
their heating bills they’ll definitely want to go to a pellet or heating stove,” he said. “They want to see the savings at the end of the year. It’s a proven fact that if you’re comparing gas or oil to wood or pellets it generally runs about 50 percent cheaper to use that fuel rather than the other, so your appliance costs typically will pay for itself – if we have a season like last year – in one or two seasons.” Glen said the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting another harsh winter. “Quite frankly it’s been one of the coldest summers I can remember – up until last week – in many, many years,” he said. If their endeavors continue to be successful, the store could expand into carrying other outdoor items. “We sell outdoor items, but we don’t have any room to show outdoor furniture and fireplaces,” Carla said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to get another spot.” “That’s our five-year plan – maybe to have another store right beside us here,” said Glen. “There’s not really a place around here like that, so there’s kind of a need for it.” For more information call 410632-9944 or visit www.fireplacesupplyco.com.

Important work to do off season OUR OPINION
With Bike Week going on now and next week’s Sunfest approaching, we officially enter into the resort’s “second season.” This is Sunfest’s 40th season, and already tents have been set up on the inlet parking lot to facilitate some 300 vendors and food booths next week. Sunfest was ranked No. 1 in Sunshine Artist Magazine’s annual 200 best shows list for 2014. Ocean City is expecting tens of thousands of people to visit the resort just for Sunfest. There’s a parade on the Boardwalk, opening ceremonies and then plenty of live entertainment topped off by the Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley. This week’s fourth annual Bike Week also brings to town unique high-speed performances such as the 15-foot vertical “Wall of Death” not to mention motorcycle stunt shows and customization displays. Like Sunfest, Bike Week will also have national acts including The Marshall Tucker Band, Jamey Johnson and Travis Tritt. Check out Ocean City Today staff writer Clara Vaughn’s coverage in today’s edition on all the different biker events happening this weekend moving into next week’s Sunfest. It has been a quick summer for the resort. It certainly feels like we’ve just finished preparing for May and Memorial Day, and here we are in September already. We experienced largely great weather, and the crowds filled restaurants and hotels mostly through July and August. We talked about the people in costume on the beach; smoking prohibitions on the Boardwalk and beach and whether or not single family homes should be rented for summer vacations. We supported the county school system as the state’s only such jurisdiction to open school after Labor Day. But even that came with debate. When the motorcycles leave and the Sunfest tents are put away, those debates will continue far into the fall and the winter. And they should.
Maybe not so smart after all THE PUBLIC EYE
Author teaches ‘marketing’ EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
Let’s get to the admission part right away. I have no idea how the stock market works. I kind of leave that knowledge up to the financial planner that my wife and I use just like the CPA we hire to do our taxes. So who enters my life but Ocean City resident Drew Sands, who has written a book called “Stock Market Profits, Seven Simple Secrets?” I’m not implying here that Drew has written “down” to a lowest common denominator. Absolutely not, but I will say even I came away finally understanding how all of this market talk worked. Right from the start, Drew tells us that “stock market trading is a serious business, and stock market winners take a disciplined, business-like approach to their stock trading.” He writes in his book concepts I never heard of when it came to stock trading. For instance, “Create your mission statement (you will likely lose money without one)” and “Make a few essential decisions before you put one penny into the market.”
By Phil Jacobs
Here, by the way, are the seven important steps he writes about in his book. Minimize your risk of losing money in the stock market. Get into the overall market at the best time. Invest in the best business sectors and industry groups at the right time. Identify stocks with a high profit potential. Choose the best of those stocks to buy. Buy your stocks at the best time. Sell your stocks at the right time for maximum profit. Drew Sands wants you to succeed at the
otherwise tricky world of the stock market. If he can’t be there to personally consult with you, he can at least give you much of his knowledge in his recently published book. The book, by the way, is now one of the top listed business resources on Amazon where one can purchase it by either entering the book’s title or Drew’s name. Drew grew up coming to Ocean City where he worked on the beach taking photographs for the Telescope photos that were sold to tourists. He was also a beach boy, renting beach umbrellas, chairs and mats. His territory back then was between the pier and the jetty and the year was 1959 to 1960. He would go on to graduate back then from Towson Senior High School in Baltimore County in 1960. Drew would also go on to work as a lifeguard for the Sparrows Point Country Club. Numbers and logic were clearly in his future. “I liked the idea of working with data and trying to present something with that data,” he said. It was the stock market, with its ups and downs that had presented him what he described as an “interesting mathematical challenge.” Drew earned his BS in Social Sciences from the American University in Washington D.C., in 1966. He would go on to earn his MA in Counseling and Testing Psychology, also at AU in 1967. He became a trading system consultant in 1999. This is what he does now. A trading system consultant designs, develops, tests and evaluates complete stock market timing and trading systems for clients who include money managers, stock brokers and private investors.

By Stewart Dobson Publisher When Apple Computers unveiled its new Smart Watch this week, my first thought was that this is an opportunity to ignore my email at not two, but at three different locations. Is that a technological advancement, or what? That is, really, what it comes down to, since, beyond simply being a timepiece, this watch and its imitators will do essentially the same things as my phone and my laptop. How many times, after all, can I check the same email? It’s not as if the version coming in on my Smart Watch is going to be any different. It’s not going to say, for instance, “You already got this email on your other stuff, and it’s a stupid email anyway, so just skip it.” It would be different, and more impressive, were the watch to say, “Here’s your email and – SURPRISE! – it’s in Chinese.” Which brings me to the greater concern: if Smart Watches are here, can Smartass Watches be far behind? “The time is 10:45 a.m. – and the difference between you and me is that if you don’t like my face, at least you can change mine … hahahaha!” Or, “The time is 10:45 a.m. – and for you, that means the big hand is on …” Other potential problems exist as well, including the false assumption that Smart Watches will be worn by smart people or, if that’s not the case, that wearing one will make you any brighter than you would be otherwise. “The time is 10:45 a.m. – and by the way, yesterday you were stupid, but today I see some improvement.” Or, “The time is 10:45 a.m. – incidentally, the atomic weight of antimony is 51, in case anyone asks.” Don’t misunderstand, I’m all for technological advancements, but I am concerned that this flood of must-have devices such as this one might lead to a society of watch-tapping phone fiddlers who, should they be confronted person to person, wouldn’t give you the time of day.
Letters Town not intended as single rental district
Editor, Decades ago, Ocean City adopted zoning laws to preserve a few residential neighborhoods with R-1 designations. The entire town was never intended to become a single commercial rental district. Even in R-1 areas, those seeking rental income to offset the expense of ownership have bent the rules and prevailed over residents’ desire for a peaceful community. Year-round residents just had to “suck it up” and most did, understanding the nature of a visitor-oriented economy. The town has not enforced current R-1 zoning laws, which limit renters to no more than “four unrelated people.” For various reasons, the long-intended protection for R-1 communities has lapsed. We are told the town administrators can’t enforce R-1 zoning. The zoning code could be enforced through steep business license penalties and fines to both rental managers and absentee owners. By contrast, the alcohol licensing board enforces liquor laws with fines and penalties to license holders. Any new “special” zoning as has been suggested would only be to accommodate those abusing current laws. Residents are already protected under existing zoning.

County to offer CERT instruction Those who successfully complete course will earn CPR, First Aid certification (Sept. 12, 2014) Worcester County Emergency Services (WCES) invites the public to participate in a free, eight-session Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course. The training takes place at the Ocean Pines Volunteer Fire Department South Station, on Wednesdays from 6:30-9:30 p.m., from Oct. 8 – Nov. 8, with Cardiopulmonary Response (CPR) and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) training to take place during class on Oct. 22. CERT is an extremely informative, hands-on, educational program packed with information to equip residents, who have no prior emergency medical training, to support their families and communities during a disaster. Participants will gain the decision-making and practical skills necessary to offer immediate assistance to those in need following an emergency until further help can arrive. “CERT helps you prepare yourself, your family, your community to face a wide variety of emergencies,” WCES Emergency Planner Tom Kane said. “CERT just makes you safer.” Participants will learn basic lifesaving skills, such as CPR/AED,
First Aid and fire suppression. They will also learn to recognize both natural and manmade hazards. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to create disaster plans and supply kits and aid in responding to hazardous material emergencies. Those who successfully complete the training will receive CPR and First Aid certification thorough the American Heart Association. During the course, instructors will provide information on hazards typical to Worcester County, hazardous materials in the home and the National Incident Management Sys-
tem. Instruction is geared to help residents better prepare and survive during the first 36 to 72 hours after a catastrophic event when local first responder resources are stretched to their limits. CERT is made possible through a grant from Atlantic General Hospital, thereby allowing WCES to offer this valuable training at no cost to all interested residents. Space is limited to 20 individuals and is available on a first come, first served basis. For more info or to register, contact Tom Kane at 410-6323080 email tkane@co.worcester.md.us.

OC author teaches us how to work market Continued from Page 100 management system that analyzes, ranks and graphs over 23,000 stocks for relative value, safety and timing. VectorVest gives a buy, sell or hold recommendation on every stock, every day. Drew designed and developed the original version of the VectorVest Technical Analysis course. He also created portions of the ProTrader Technical Analysis section of the Two-Day VectorVest Investment Seminar. He taught stock trading for about eight years, traveling throughout the U.S. and Canada to work with VectorVest seminar attendees. He led the VectorVest User Groups in San Diego and Los Angeles for five years, where ideas between traders were exchanged. Drew writes that he doesn’t want the reader to become “one of those unhappy, frustrated traders who watches loss after loss pile up and
then gives up, sadly concluding that they just can’t be a successful trader.” In the book, he shows stock market practitioners why it is important to keep trading records, how to maximize what the reader has learned from both profitable and losing trades, and how a person can multiply profits while gaining experience and knowledge from trading records. In Drew’s years of experience he said he saw “simple dramatic and clear cut differences between the traders who made substantial profits from their trading activities and the traders who sadly watched their brokerage accounts suffer losses, trade after trade.” Perhaps one of the more key revelations in the book is when Drew explains that a trader has to possess a “clarity of vision” in his or her business plan. And, he writes that many stock market traders do not really view their trades as a business. Big
mistake, he points out. Stock market trading is not a Las Vegas risk, he said, nor is it an intelligence test. It is, again, he said “a very serious business.” With the word “serious” in mind, there are also some extremely humorous cartoons/illustrations included in the book to lighten it up. Another part of the book that I found very helpful was Drew’s inclusion of a glossary. He wonderfully doesn’t take anything for granted especially words of the business world. And I think if there was one phrase that Drew gave me about the stock market was the value of “trading by the rules, rather than hunches.”
I have a hunch if you take a look at “Stock Market Profits, Seven Simple Secrets,” you’ll benefit from it. Plus, it’s nice to read book written by an Ocean City resident. Drew lives here with his wife Margie. Also, if you need a word with Drew, email him at Consulting@TradeByRules.com Okay, so I made notes from his book and I understand more than I ever had before. I tried though to explain it all to my wife last weekend. She took the book from my hand and started reading. Drew is better at teaching this than I am. I think that’s what she was implying.
