Tragic Wednesday: Two drownings in matter of hours Fatalities rise as rip tides continue to trap swimmers

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Tragedy struck the Ocean City beach yet again on Wednesday, claiming two more lives in what has already been a historically violent summer at sea. In separate incidents, a 52-yearold male from Huntingdon, Pa. and a 49-year-old male from Rosedale died after struggling in rip currents. Ocean City Beach Patrol responded to a pair of distress calls near 17th and 20th streets on the beach just after 12:30 p.m. Swimming restrictions were put in place, and crews rescued three swimmers in what Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin called “a pretty routine rescue from a rip current.” “One of those individuals, although the guard said he never went under water, did go unconscious,” Arbin said. “They already had him holding onto a buoy, and he then just lost consciousness.” Crews transported a 19-year-old male and the Huntingdon, Pa. man to Atlantic General Hospital, treating the former for non-life threatening injuries. The 52-year-old was pronounced dead at approximately 1:30 p.m. Beach Patrol Surf Rescue Technicians responded to a second incident in the area minutes later, bringing two more swimmers caught in rip currents to shore. Neither required medical attention. Hundreds of people watched as ambulances and police cars lined the Boardwalk between 17th and 20th streets during the dual rescues. Pittsburgh native Dan Chess, who was on the beach near 17th Street, believed he saw at least six people being pulled from the water. “It was all within 15 minutes,” he said. “They pulled three out and after probably another 10 minutes they See TWO Page 4

Councilwoman Pillas won’t run Retirement, other moves now has town with four seats open for election By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) As of this week, the Town of Ocean City’s upcoming municipal election is shaping up to be not much of an election at all. Two recent campaign trail developments have left the town with four open seats in the Nov. 4 contest, and only four candidates – at most, given that only two have actually filed so far

– vying to fill them. After serving two four-year terms, Councilwoman Margaret Pillas announced at this week’s council session that she plans to retire. “Since this is the last Monday night meeting before the filing deadline, I want to let everyone know that I will not be seeking another term on council,” Pillas said. Under the city’s charter, all candidates for Mayor and City Council seats must file at least 28 days prior to the election. “I want to thank everyone who I’ve served with…and everyone who has

ever voted for me,” Pillas said. “I hope you still hold me in your confidence.” Council President Lloyd Martin and Councilman Brent Ashley are also up for re-election this cycle, but both have yet to file. Neither would confirm this week that they intend to do so, although the local political establishment is clearly operating under the assumption that both will indeed win another four years in their seats. Further, although his seat would not normally be open until 2016, See PILLAS Page 3

Continued from Page 1 Councilman Joe Mitrecic will be leaving in November to take Ocean City’s uncontested seat on the Worcester County Commissioners. Per the city’s charter, the fourthplace vote-getter in the upcoming election will fill the vacant two years of Mitrecic’s term. Additionally, it was learned this week that another candidate, although a non-incumbent, will likely be taking his hat out of the ring. Local resident Joe Cryer, who ran for council previously in 2010, filed for office some weeks ago. However, Cryer is now expected to bow out of his candidacy following a series of unusual outbursts late last week that apparently rattled City Hall. “I’m still on the ticket right now, but we’re going to re-evaluate,” Cryer said this week. “More than likely, I’m not going to run.” Last Thursday, Cryer made a series of disturbing Facebook posts expressing anti-Semitic sentiments and threatening Mayor Rick Meehan and

Seacrets owner Leighton Moore, whom Cryer believed to be involved in some kind of financial conspiracy. Cryer also made a series of bizarre phone calls to City Hall, resulting in additional security at the building earlier this week. While the Ocean City Police Department did investigate the issue, Cryer was not found to be a threat to public safety, according to the OCPD. “To say they were upset would be an understatement,” Cryer said. “The things I said were totally inappropriate. I have apologized to both Rick and Leighton.” Cryer, a military veteran, said he suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that often makes his behavior erratic. “I’m dealing with some combat-related issues and I don’t know that that’s fair to the rest of the council,” Cryer said regarding his candidacy. “I still want to contribute to the city… but I understand I’m limited because of my mental health.” Cryer’s emotional instability also

proved difficult for his previous council campaign, in which he was accused of making false claims regarding his service in the Navy. Other than Cryer, only two people – Tony DeLuca and Chris Rudolf – have actually filed for the municipal contest as of this week. DeLuca is a former executive for Kentucky Fried Chicken, who retired to live in Ocean City full-time five years ago, after having vacationed and owned property in the resort for most of his life. DeLuca currently serves on the town’s Board of Port Wardens. Rudolf, who has lived in Ocean City since 2005, is the Flying Team Manager for the Kite Loft as well as a legislative aide to the Maryland Senate’s Republican caucus. Rudolf serves an alternate member for the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. Since the Mayor’s term is only two years, Meehan will also be up for reelection. Although he has not yet filed, he currently faces no opposition.

Two drown, victims of dangerous rip currents Continued from Page 1 pulled three more.” Chess saw one man receive chest compressions. “They didn’t know if he was going to make it or not,” he said. Larry Stevens, riding his bike on vacation from North Jersey, watched from the Boardwalk near 18th Street as rescuers pulled a young man from the water. “He was way out in the water when they recovered him,” he said. “What I thought I was seeing was them bringing him in from all the way down here, but it turned out to be a separate incident, and there was another guy they were doing chest compres-

sions on when they brought him in.” Stevens said the surf had been strong for most of the day. Baltimore resident Ray Smith, watching from the Boardwalk near 19th Street, saw rescue crews pull a pair of swimmers he described as “bobbing” from the water. “The guy came out, walked a little and collapsed,” he said. “He was weakened. And the girl – she seemed okay. I never saw any more of her, and they got into the ambulance and rolled out. It all happened pretty quickly.” A third rescue took place five hours later when a Surf Rescue Technician near Ninth Street noticed a swimmer in distress and called for assistance. “The guards were off duty and they had cleared the water,” Arbin said.

“We still had people on the beach even though we were off duty, and one of our sergeants who was on the beach saw people in a rip current. When he stopped to look, that’s when he saw the person that they pulled out was actually just floating out into the further part of the rip current, so he initiated the rescue.” According to Arbin, the man had just entered the water when the rip current ensnared him. Two additional Beach Patrol and several Ocean City Fire Department rescue swimmers responded to the incident. Rescue crews treated the Rosedale man on the scene and transported him to AGH, where medical personnel pronounced him dead. Arbin called the two drowning deaths in a single day “very unusual.” “What happened tonight with

somebody going swimming when the guards go off duty, unfortunately that’s much more usual than having anything happen during the day,” he said. “Today, according to the guards, they actually made the rescue. They actually got to the person before they were underwater. I’ve seen that happen before where the person is stressed – it’s like when people go out in a snowstorm and shovel snow and have heart attacks. Their body is not used to it. When you’re in the ocean and caught in a rip current and you’re fighting and trying to make you way back to shore, it can distress your body more. The result unfortunately in this case was something happened that caused the man to suddenly lose consciousness while the guards had him.” Before this year, Ocean City had

‘Horrible day for Ocean City community’ not reported a drowning death while lifeguards were on duty since 2007. Including the two incidents this week, five swimmers died following struggles in rip currents this summer and a sixth died of a broken neck. “Today was a really horrible day for the entire Ocean City community,” said Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters. “Our job is to invite people here and have them have the best time of their lives and make sure they’re provided with a safe place. Any time that we have a visitor or a resident who has any type of tragic experience like this it affects us all very deeply.” Rip currents occur when water moving towards the beach attempts to make its way back out. “We see in Ocean City something called ‘flash rips,’ Arbin said. “That’s

where large volumes of water come across the sandbar and then they have to make their way back out through the sandbar, and all that literally tons and tons of water makes its way back out. That’s the current that’s pulling people away from shore.” Arbin said most swimmers should be able to navigate a rip current safely – if they remain calm. “Rip currents do not pull you under,” he said. “If you can swim and you don’t panic you have two choices – you can basically float the rip out until it disperses and then swim out of it, or you can just begin swimming parallel to shore until you’re free of where it’s pulling you away, and then just make a diagonal line right into shore. Even in the largest, strongest rip is not going to pull you under.”

Struggling against the current often leads swimmers to exhaust themselves. “In the first case today it appears that person could swim, but in his attempt to swim out of it he overstressed his body and that may have caused a medical complication,” Arbin said. “The second one, an eyewitness said he had just gone in. It sounds like he was out of the water when the guards left, and then chose to go swimming right after the guards left the area.” If there is a lifeguard on duty, ask him about the conditions in the water. “It’s a real good idea because right now (lifeguards) are spread out,” Arbin said. “By checking in with the lifeguard it puts you in the vicinity, and then you should swim right

there. Even in a case where we do make a rescue, if a guard only has to run 10 yards and then swim out he’s going to get to you pretty quickly. It’s real critical that you check in with the guard and you choose to swim in front of the guard.” Lifeguard service continues in Ocean City until Sunday, Sept. 21. Arbin said Beach Patrol would double their staffing throughout the weekend. “What happened (on Wednesday) unfortunately is what we see the most of, people getting themselves in trouble when we’re not on duty,” he said. “Hopefully when people hear this story they’ll think twice about going out in the water when the guards are off duty. Drowning is one of the most preventable kinds of death – people just need a little education.”

Groundbreaking starts on beach patrol HQ Money for new building borrowed by Ocean City in last year’s bond issuance By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Groundbreaking – both symbolic and actual – started this week on the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s new headquarters building, as contractors were literally standing by to start work immediately after city leaders finished the goldenshovel photo-op Monday morning. “I’ve never actually done one of these since nothing’s been built specifically for the Beach Patrol before,” said OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin. “We’re really grateful to have this opportunity. There are a lot of people that need to be thanked for getting us

to this point.” The new, 9,477 square foot building will be located on the southeast corner of Talbot Street and Philadelphia Avenue, one block north of OCBP’s current headquarters. That building, on Dorchester Street, previously served as the headquarters for the Ocean City Police Department until 1991, when the Public Safety Building at 65th Street was completed. The OCBP has been using the hand-me-down facility for the past 22 years. Money for the new building, originally budgeted at $2 million with a 10 percent contingency, was borrowed by the city in last year’s bond issuance. “The good news is that we’re within the $2.2 million mark for the project,” City Engineer Terry McGean

said at last week’s City Council meeting. “But we’re kind of working without a safety net. That’s at zero contingency.” City Council subsequently approved an additional $50,000 in funding - $10,000 for additional information technology upgrades to the project, and $40,000 contingency for the foundation work. “We would fine…assuming that we know everything that’s underground and nothing goes different from planned,” McGean said. “If that were to happen, it would be the first job in 25 years I’ve seen.” The city also finalized the project’s main contract with Gillis-Gilkerson, who is serving as the town’s at-risk construction manager - meaning the company is financial responsible for all of the subcontractors that may be

used on the project under its advisement. Gillis-Gilkerson’s final cost to the town for the project will be $1,964,458. There has also been some concern over the level of “value-engineering” the project had already gone through, with a number of features having already been cut by McGean and his staff to keep the project within the council’s budget. One of the major changes was the elimination of a metal roof and the use of more traditional, and cheaper, asphalt shingles, for a $50,000 savings. But Councilwoman Margaret Pillas pointed out that on other recent projects, such as the Caroline Street Comfort Station, the city has made a point of using metal roofs given their long life and lower energy costs. “We just built the comfort station that way, and here we go and change it around already for $50,000,” Pillas said. However, Councilmen Doug Cymek and Joe Mitrecic, both of whom run construction businesses, said that metal roofing isn’t always worth it. “With the new requirements for insulating the attic of a building, which are almost ridiculous these days…I don’t’ think you’re going to see that much of a difference,” Mitre-

Cymek said. However, Cymek said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if I had my druthers, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see a metal roof because of its resistance to the elementsâ&#x20AC;ŚI donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a penny wise and a pound foolish on the structure at this stage.â&#x20AC;? Likewise, Councilman Brent Ashley also asked about the elimination of LED lighting in preference of traditional fluorescent bulbs. Again, while LEDs are more energy efficient, and had been originally specified by the city, their high initial cost made them a target for cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just wondering if we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save money in the long run,â&#x20AC;? Ashley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we dealing with a false economy here?â&#x20AC;? McGean offered to bring a more detailed cost-benefit estimate of the various budget cuts back to council

for review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a lot of the sausagemaking on this, so to speak, that normally you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;?

These are decisions we have to make on any given projectâ&#x20AC;Śa Rolls-Royce is better than a Chevy, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all afford a Rolls.â&#x20AC;? The site for the new OCBP building is currently a parking lot owned by the Ocean City Development Corporation. In exchange for ceding the lot to the town, OCDC will take possession of the old OCBP building east side of Philadelphia Avenue between Dorchester and Somerset Streets, once the new building is finished and the beach patrol has relocated. Combined with the westerly lots on the block, recently purchased from the Hall family, this will give OCDC a significant space for a future redevelopment project known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;model block.â&#x20AC;?

Eight friends paddle in memory of ‘Scunny’ Bartenders raise funds for foundation helping children battling critical illnesses

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) On Tuesday, at 7:30 a.m., eight bartenders launched into the water on a six-day journey from Ocean City to Baltimore to raise money and honor their friend Patrick “Scunny” McCusker. The second annual Scunny Memorial Paddle raises money for the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, a favorite of McCusker’s. “He passed away two years ago in a bus accident in Ocean City,” said Kate Sachs, communications director for Believe In Tomorrow. “He used to work in Ocean City and he owned two restaurants in Baltimore – Nacho Mama’s and Mama’s on the Half Shell. He had a huge personality and he was just kind of a character. Everybody knew him and everybody has stories about him. He also had a huge heart, so he was a huge fan of Believe in Tomorrow and did a lot of fundraising for us. McCusker launched his own kayak fundraiser running from Baltimore to Ocean City in 2006. “He got lost along the way,” said Sachs. “He had a boat that lost him. It was kind of a whole debacle, but it

was very in tune with the person that he was. It was a great thing and it was funny.” Jason Mislan and “Delaware” Dave Powell joined McCusker during one of his fundraising trips in 2009, rowing from Quantico, Va. to Baltimore. “After that one, we swore we would never do it again,” Mislan said. “The day of Scunny’s funeral – after the funeral – we were sitting around the bar and that’s when Dave and I, kind of teary-eyed, just looked at each other. Not only is this a horrible situation, but now we definitely have to do what we swore we’d never do again – we definitely have to do another trip and honor Scunny.” Like last year, all of the Memorial Paddle participants work in the bar industry. Mislan, who works at Max’s Taphouse in Fell’s Point, said preparation for the six-day trip could be “a little crazy.” Powell, who works at Nacho Mama’s in Baltimore, said he had never been in a kayak before Scunny convinced him to take the 2009 trek. “I had never been a paddler at all,” he said. “To get ready we paddled pretty much all summer, three days a week at minimum, using some long paddles and some short paddles. You’ve got to get some long paddles in because you need to get your back and your legs ready for the pain of 10

hours in a kayak.” Last year the route followed McCusker’s original plan, running from Baltimore to Ocean City. This year organizers flipped the script and cast off near Ocean City. “We had aggressive goals the first day,” Powell said. “When I looked out at the water and the tides in the morning, we’re exactly where I thought we’d be. The whole thing is you don’t know – sometimes you can go six miles an hour and (Tuesday) we had one hour where we all paddled really hard and we went less than two miles.” Powell said the trip was still very much on track. “It’s going to take us two full days to get all the way up the Delaware Bay, so our goal is to be up to Delaware City or through the C and D canal two days from now,” he said. “We’re looking good to make our goals.” The inaugural Memorial Paddle raised nearly $50,000. This year the event has already raised more than $60,000 for Believe In Tomorrow. “Believe In Tomorrow is a leader in hospital and respite housing for critically ill children and their families,” Sachs said. “We have a hospital housing program in Baltimore where we’re the number one provider of overnight housing for families of children at Hopkins. If a child is getting

seen for various reasons and they’re coming from out of state or just can’t foot the bill for a hotel, we come in and we provide housing for a night, a couple nights, up to several months at a time, sometimes even a year.” The nonprofit also offers respite housing, with several free vacation properties in Ocean City as well as Fenwick Island, Western Maryland and Asheville, N.C. available to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. “The fundraising goes toward maintaining these seven different properties year-round, keeping the lights on and making it a safe-haven for these families who are going through an incredible amount of stress,” said Sachs. The 2014 fundraising goal is $100,000. “This year is going real well financially,” Powell said. “We still have one more fundraiser when we get home, and hopefully it will do well for us.” “We’re already passed last year’s goal, and we’ve added two more paddlers this year,” Mislan said. “Last year we did really well and people were talking about it. This year when we decided to do it again people were already pumped to get onboard and help us out.” On the evening before they cast off the group were able to tour and stay See PADDLERS Page 9

Capt. Tyler Cole waves “bon voyage” on Tuesday, Sept. 16 near the shore in Ocean City. Cole will be escorting seven kayakers as they travel from Ocean City to Baltimore, raising money for the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation.

Paddlers raise money for Believe in Tomorrow fund Continued from Page 8 in one of the Believe In Tomorrow Houses in Ocean City. “It was pretty rewarding to see that,” Powell said. “This whole thing is just about a little service to others. I’m blessed with some healthy children, so it makes it very easy to support a charity like this. It’s pretty gratifying seeing what your efforts do. These families show up in Baltimore – they don’t know a soul and they’re going to be here for months. All their focus is on getting their kid well.” “To me this event is just a great way to give back to the community and remember my friend,” said Mislan. “I’ve always done little charitable things, but Scunny was the one guy that really taught me that if you’re in the position to do good you have to take advantage of that.” Believe In Tomorrow is actively seeking volunteers in the Ocean City and Baltimore area.

Two men indicted in death of Penn. visitor Argument between victim, pair of assailants results in downtown August homicide

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Two suspects were indicted earlier this month in the Aug. 24 death of a Pennsylvania man in Ocean City. Caleb Edwin Earl Ochse, 27, of West Ocean City, and Christopher Blake Kendall, who has addresses in Ocean City and Wilmington, Del., were indicted Sept. 2 on charges of manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, affray and consuming an alcoholic beverage to the point of endangering others. Both men had been charged with those offenses Aug. 26 after the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death of Justin Daniel Cancelliere of North Whitehall Township to be a homicide, but those cases were closed following the indictment. Cancelliere was in Ocean City with a cousin and two friends when they encountered Ochse and Kendall in a sub shop at the corner of Talbot Street and Baltimore Avenue in the early morning hours. After purchasing chicken wings, Ochse and Kendall left. Cancelliere left after they did and allegedly followed them. Cancelliere’s cousin and two friends

Justin Cancelliere

also left. An argument led to a scuffle, with Cancelliere allegedly fighting with Ochse and Kendall. The charging document did not state who started the fight or what the argument was about. Cancelliere’s cousin reportedly told police he broke up the fight and then saw Cancelliere, who had injuries to his face and head, on the ground. Cancelliere was unconscious and bleeding. The cousin and two friends reportedly put the injured man in a taxi, but only one of the friends rode in the taxi with him to the Plim Plaza parking lot on Second Street, according to

the charging document. Not until the taxi took them to Second Street was 911 called. The charging document did not state who placed the call. When police arrived at about 3:15 a.m., they noted Cancelliere had a bloody nose, his forehead was bruised and he was unconscious. Ocean City paramedics started emergency life-saving procedures before he was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that morning. Reviewing a video surveillance tape, police determined one of the men at the sub shop was Ochse. Detectives with the Ocean City Police Department went to Ochse’s West Ocean City residence at about 9:50 a.m. and told him they were investigating a fight that had occurred outside the downtown sub shop. Ochse reportedly did not answer those questions. Kendall, who was at Ochse’s residence, also reportedly refused to answer questions. The next day, Monday, Aug. 25, the Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy on Cancelliere and ruled that the cause of death was head and neck trauma and that the manner of death was homicide. On Tuesday, Aug. 26, police arrested Ochse at his place of work, a West Ocean City restaurant, and Kendall turned himself at the Ocean City Police Department headquarters later

that day. He was released after a District Court commissioner found no probable cause for the c h a r g e s against him. Both men had been Christopher Kendall scheduled for preliminary hearings in District Court in Ocean City on Sept. 25, but those hearings will not be held because the cases are now in Circuit Court in Snow Caleb Ochse Hill. Kendall appeared in Circuit Court on Sept. 8 for a bond review. His bond was set at $100,000. He posted bond that day and he was released from jail. Ochse continues to be held in jail on $400,000 bond. Funeral services for Cancelliere were held Friday, Aug. 29. Funds are being raised for his wife and two young children online at http://www.gofundme. com/djtjqg. The goal is to raise $25,000 and as of Sept. 15, 12,990 had been raised.

No life-threatening injuries during recent bikers visit Calls for service actually bit lower this year when compared to past events

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Tens of thousands of motorcyclists came, rode, spent money, listened to rock music and partied Sept. 11-14, but there were no serious collisions and only 30 people, including some motorcyclists, were arrested by Ocean City police. “We saw a handful of motorcycle collisions but fortunately no lifethreatening injuries were reported,” said Lindsay O’Neal, public affairs specialist for the Ocean City Police Department. The calls for service totaled exactly 1,600, a bit lower than the 1,740 calls for service for the same weekend last year. The number of arrests was considerably lower than last year’s 50 arrests and the 53 arrests in 2012. In 2011, there were 29 arrests. Nine of the arrests this year involved drinking and driving, four involved drugs and two involved weapons. One of the arrests involving a weapon was a motorcyclist. The biker arrested for having a weapon was Theodore J. Savage, 29, of Frederica, Del. An Ocean City police officer stopped Savage at Talbot Street and Baltimore Avenue at about 10 p.m. Friday because his motorcycle’s registration plate was displayed vertically instead of horizontally. After stopping Savage, the officer saw that the tread of the motorcycle’s rear tire had worn off. The tire was “completely bald,” according to the charging document. The officer discovered that Savage’s license was suspended in Delaware and arrested him for driving on a suspended license. In response to a question about weapons, Savage said he had a pocket knife and a metal lock tied to a bandana to keep it from blowing out of his pocket. In the charging document, the officer described seeing “an incredibly large metal lock tied to the end of a bandana,” which the officer wrote was a weapon. “A bandana with a lock tied to the end is a common improvised impact weapon,” the officer wrote. He also wrote that Savage again said he used the metal lock to keep the bandana from flying out of his pocket and he also used it to lock his motorcycle. Savage was charged with having a concealed deadly weapon and he was also charged with nine traffic offenses, including driving an unregistered motorcycle, driving an unsafe

vehicle on a highway and failure to equip the motorcycle with two rear view mirrors. The other person arrested for having a weapon was a man who had a replica BB gun and his wife’s stun gun in his car. O’Neal said the police wanted to thank other law enforcement agencies for assisting during the events that brought bikers to the area. “We would like to thank and commend everyone that was involved with the event from law enforcement to event staff, local business owners and, of course, OC BikeFest participants for another safe and successful event weekend. We look forward to welcoming everyone again in 2015,” she said.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Business owners welcomed another leather-clad crowd last week as thousands of bikers arrived in Ocean City for the area’s BikeFest, Delmarva Bike Week and Bikes to the Beach Fall Rally. As usual, the two-wheeled tourists brought a welcomed bump in business as the resort transitions from high summer to its shoulder season. “We love Bike Week. It’s a good piece of business for us and that, right after the off season kicks in,” said Craig Roberts, Manager at the 45th Street Taphouse. Seacret’s Assistant General Manager Lou Lombardo agreed: “It was definitely one of our better weekends.” “We look forward to it every year,” said Jack Seamon, Manager at Oasis Bar and Grill in Whaleyville. Demoflush numbers, which use wastewater flows to estimate the city’s population, showed 195,949 in town from Sept. 8-14 this year. That’s up from 194,076 over the same period last year. Bike Week and BikeFest Marketing Director Chase Michael said, based on hotel rentals, anywhere from 130,000 to 165,000 came for the events featuring hundreds of national vendors, stunt acts, live music, biker personalities and even a twowheel wedding at Ocean City’s inlet and convention center, Winter Place Park and the Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, and other venues around the resort. “We were definitely up from last year all three days,” Michael said. Another indicator of Bike Week’s success: Event sponsor Rommel Harley-Davidson sold 82 bikes at the convention center this year compared to 58 last year, he said. With national names such as Fast Lights LEDs, Boss Hoss Cycles and Insane Leather On site, exhibitors were a major pull for bikers, Michael said. “The vendors that we have are all national vendors and they’re a really big draw — more than people would think,” he said. Bikes to the Beach Fall Rally upped its list of exhibitors this year, helping draw bigger crowds, said General Manager of host Hooper’s Crab House Ryan Intrieri. “There were a lot of new, professional vendors to choose from,” he said. Others came for the music, which ranged from Led Zeppelin tribute band Kashmir to local favorite Poverty Ridge. At Seacrets, the cover bands

Cody Ives, of Ives Brothers Cycles, spins around the 15-foot vertical “Wall of Death” to delight a crowd during OC BikeFest at the inlet last Thursday.

Bikers uplift OC business brought the biggest crowds, Lombardo said. “Friday just was an awesome night. That band drew one of the largest crowds I’ve ever seen to a tribute band during Bike Week,” he said of AC/DC tribute group Livewire. The 49th Street restaurant also featured the Artimus Pyle Band playing Lynard Skynard’s classics Wednesday night and 7 Bridges Eagles tribute band Thursday. “They drew really big crowds,” Lombardo said, adding that Seacrets is considering expending the entertainment into Saturday next year. Personalities from Full Throttle’s Mike Thaler at 45th Street to Miss Bikes to the Beach Michele Smith at Hooper’s and a pintsized model at Oasis also kept biker’s coming. The drizzle Saturday put a damper on some Bike Week festivities, but not enough to keep businesses down, organizers agreed. “Thursday and Friday night were great. Sat-

urday afternoon it was… just tough with the tiki bars outside with the weather,” Roberts said, though new Shallow Waters Restaurant helped hold the crowd with its large interior. Business was “on the positive side a little,” compared to bike weekend last year, he said. “Wednesday and Thursday were great, Friday was record-breaking,” Interieri said. “Saturday the rain drove people under the tent.” But, with the return of good weather Sunday, “it seemed like more people stuck around,” he said. With plans already in the works for Bike Week 2015, organizers have a few ideas for improvements next year, from rearranging parking to booking more live music. “With it being the 15th anniversary of Delmarva Bike Week and the fifth anniversary of OC BikeFest, I think we’ve got some stuff up our sleeves — but I can’t tell you what yet,” Michael said.

Utility customers won’t see many differences No power struggle, just changes happening in upper corporate echelons By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) While changes are happening in the upper corporate echelons, the average Delmarva Power customer and employee will likely not see a whole lot different if and when the area’s electricity provider becomes part of the Exelon Corporation – and that’s exactly what the company is going for. “One of the big points of emphasis has been keeping the local team intact and in place,” said Dick Webster of PECO, the Philadelphia-based electricity provider and one of Exelon’s flagship utilities. “The savings to customers are more about the corporate functions and not the local utility itself.” Further, as has been the case in the past, the price of natural gas – more so than any corporate policy – will continue to be the dominant force in the electricity market for both the company and its customers. “The gas generation price tends to set the price in the rest of the market,” Webster said. “It used to be coal, but now it’s natural gas. With those prices so low, it’s driven wholesale electric prices down considerably

Relax

overall.” In April, Exelon announced plans to merge with Pepco Holdings, Inc., which operates Pepco – the electricity provider in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties – as well as Delmarva Power and Atlantic City Electric. Exelon began with Chicago-based ComEd before expanding east by acquiring PECO. Two years ago, Exelon bought out Baltimore Gas and Electric.

Stockbridge – who will remain at his post as the head of Delmarva Power’s coverage area for Exelon. However, in the company’s view, there is essentially no downside to the merger. Besides costs savings at the upper corporate levels, Exelon expects to have lower-cost but more effective service through mutual aid between all of its utility holdings. “By having a ‘family’ of utilities, so to speak, they have the same computer systems and the same practices,

‘ComEd and PECO’s performance has been good and is considered in the top quartile for reliability,” Webster said. “BGE, since the merger, has improved considerably from the third quartile to close to the top quartile, about 30 percent more reliable in two years.’ Dick Webster of PECO “We’ve learned that you can’t run PECO, in Philadelphia, out of Chicago,” Webster said. “Your local utility has to be responsible for the region.” Although the regulatory process to have the merger approved is winding up in Delaware, it has just started for Maryland. The state’s Public Service Commission is expected to announce hearing dates soon. “What they need to listen to is if there’s anybody in the public that says ‘this is not in my best interest,’” said Delmarva Power President Gary

so they can assist one another,” Webster said. This is particularly crucial when it comes to restoring power after outages, typically weather-related. “ComEd and PECO’s performance has been good and is considered in the top quartile for reliability,” Webster said. “BGE, since the merger, has improved considerably from the third quartile to close to the top quartile, about 30 percent more reliable in two years.” “It’s a key study of ‘put your money where your mouth is,’” Webster said.

“We said good things would happen with the BGE merger, and we think they have. As part of this merger, we’re committing that we’ll drive all the companies’ utilities to first quartile performance for both frequency and duration [of service outages] by 2020. We’ve agreed to financial penalties in any future rate cases if we don’t meet those goals.” Since most energy companies hold monopolies on the power delivery infrastructure in their area, they are regulated by public commissions to prevent price-gouging. In order to raise their rates, the company must prove that the added revenue is necessary to maintain the grid within the commission’s service area. Delmarva Power, for instance, recently obtained a rate hike in Maryland to pay for a number of Eastern Shore infrastructure projects, such as last year’s pole upgrade along Coastal Highway and the upcoming project in West Ocean City and Berlin. “The firm belief is that Exelon will continue to do the projects we’ve planned, but with their best practices in place, which is where we anticipate even further improved reliability,” Stockbridge said. To further prove its commitment to the public, Exelon has pledged a $40 million contribution to the Maryland PSC’s customer benefit See DELMARVA Page 16

SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

Delmarva Power looks to be part of Exelon Continued from Page 14 fund, which pays for state-wide energy-efficiency upgrades, subsidies for low-income customers, and other programs. Exelon has also committed to maintain or exceed Pepco Holdings’ annual charitable contribution levels, which totaled $623,000 last year. The company is also projecting that the ancillary jobs created by service improvements and better bulk pricing will total between 6,000 and 7,000 for Maryland businesses. Exelon has also committed to maintaining Pepco Holdings’ own workforce at its current level for at least the next two years. “We’d like to be able to promise that forever, but we can’t since technology will change the workforce, we’ll have attrition, etc,” Webster said.

Probably the biggest change with the merger is the fact that Delmarva Power will now be part of a company that also produces power, and doesn’t just distribute it. “We actually have the largest fleet of nuclear power plants of any company in the country,” Webster said. “We also have the largest competitive retail power business.” However, Exelon’s power generation and sales division – known as Constellation Energy – is a completely separate entity from its companies which own infrastructure and distribute power. Every distribution company bids on the open market for the power which is provides to its customers, and is legally obligated to obtain the lowest price and charge customers atcost – all markup comes through a separate distribution charge.

Power generation companies, however, are free to bid at whatever price they believe the competitive market will bear. “Delmarva Power buys our electricity on the open market like everyone else,” Stockbridge said. “Even though Exelon generates electricity, that side of the business is separate from us and will continue to be after the merger. Those wholesale electricity markets are still governed by PJM and operate separately from the other side of the business.” PJM Interconnection is the regional industry group on the East Coast that regulates the electricity market. Both Stockbridge and Webster likened this market to a lake, where power generation companies dump water in, and power distributors take water out. Even though all the water gets dumped into the same

pool, PJM makes sure that everyone who is pumping water out has a contract to pay someone else to put water back in. “If you have a contract with someone, PJM knows that,” Webster said. “If you’re taking energy out of the pool without a contract, then you have to buy through PJM’s spot market.” Currently, the market is largely dictated by natural gas, which can be used to power electricity-generating turbines. Recent discoveries of natural gas trapped in shale, extractable by hydrofracking, have driven down the market price of electricity given that shale-gas generators are able to dump so much electricity into the pool at such a low cost. On the other side of this, more environmentally friendly production methods, such as wind and solar power, are typically more expensive to operate. Most states in the U.S., including Maryland and Delaware, require distributors such as Delmarva Power to bid a certain percentage of their electricity supply through renewable producers. Otherwise, these methods would not survive on the open market. “Renewables tend to be an upward push on prices,” Stockbridge said. “Natural gas brings them down, renewables tend to bring them up.

Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-profile effort to start off-shore wind farming, however, adds a whole new dimension, given that placing and maintaining turbines at sea is significantly more costly than on land, limiting their economic viability in open competition with other means of generation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Maryland really wants to do this, they are likely going to have to enter into a contract with the wind developer where they come up with some revenue stream to pay that contract into the future,â&#x20AC;? Stockbridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wind doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist competitively alongside fossil fuel,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will

say that some of the wind farms in some areas of the country are getting more competitive with fossil fuel. But off-shore wind is much more expensive and it would usually take the state to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a mechanism to tax our customers for the cost above market for offshore wind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Webster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with wholesale prices coming down because of natural gas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of difficult to justify the $16 billion it takes to build a new nuclear plant.â&#x20AC;?

Bishopville Pond project to be completed next month

NANCY POWELL/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Keith Underwood of Underwood and Assoc., who designed and is constructing the project at the Bishopville Pond, operates a piece of heavy equipment at the site Sept. 12.

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Work on Bishopville Pond project, more than a decade in the making, began in late August and is expected to be completed next month. “We’ve been pushing for it for about 15 years,” Bishopville resident David Herr said last week. The objective is to have a series of pools, runs and weirs, which will create a more natural waterway that will allow for fish passage and will improve the quality of water. Eels and fish such as river herring and white perch will be able to access seven miles of upstream habitat for spawning and as a nursery for their young. All three are listed by the National Marine Fisheries Service as species of special concern because of their declining populations on the East Coast. Turtles will also benefit. Their sole way to cross the road has been to walk across and they have frequently been run over while doing that. After the work is completed, the turtles will be able to go up to the pond without crossing the road. Another objective, long considered a major one for Bishopville residents, especially those living near the pond, has been to get rid of the pond’s muck and to have cleaner water in it.

Keith Underwood, founder and principal of Underwood & Associates, an Annapolis firm specializing in landscape architecture and ecological restoration, has been operating heavy machinery to scoop muck from the bottom of the pond. Dave Wilson, of the non-profit Delmarva Conservation and Development, estimated only a couple of loads of muck would be taken to the county’s central landfill. Most of the muck would be incorporated with soil and sand and put in the haul road, a temporary access road at the pond. That road will become a sandstone weir. All metal sheeting will be removed from the dam, but the concrete foundation will remain and boulders will be added. A series of step pools and rock weirs will be constructed from the tidal segment of Buntings branch to the non-tidal segment. The berm at the pond will not be publicly assessable. A much earlier version would have been assessable. The 2002 plan called for the pond to be reduced to two acres, to be deepened to 8 or 10 feet and to be separated from two streams that would join to become one before going under the road and out to the river. People would have been able to walk See LONG-AWAITED Page 22

Long-awaited pond project now under way in Bishopville Continued from Page 20 in between the ponds and the streams. An even earlier version, discussed in 2001, would have added an adjustable gate to the so the pond’s water level would have been lowered during the downstream fish migration system. That version, however, would have produced a rather disagreeable odor while the submerged vegetation would be open to air when the water level dropped. The project started years ago as a way for the State Highway Administration to do mitigation for trees removed during the revitalization of Route 113. As time dragged on, the SHA did its mitigation elsewhere and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program started coordinating the project, in

conjunction with the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The Chesapeake Trust Fund is providing $500,000 and the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of Natural Resources is providing $480,000. The Maryland Coastal Bays Program is providing $100,000 and will monitor the fish passage for five years. Although discussions about the project started more than a dozen years ago, the project kept getting delayed for one reason or another. One delay was caused by the need to study whether proposed changes would have any detrimental effect on the bridge and road. Lack of funds was also a problem.

Commissioner Candidate Forum set for next week

Attendees at WOCA social events this year were informally surveyed about their concerns and a committee of WOCA members submitted questions pertaining to those concerns for the forum. Most of the concerns and questions were related to infrastructure improvements, such as additional sidewalks, and additional services, such as ambulance service, for the community. All of the questions relate to one or more areas of District Three. Four questions were provided to the candidates in advance of the forum. Additional questions will also be asked. Cummins will select those questions randomly from a jar where audience members will have placed their questions. Papers and pens will be provided for that purpose. The West Ocean City Association welcomes all District Three voters to attend and hear what Commissioners President Church and his challenger, Maykrantz, have to say about issues of concern to the constituents. The association also encourages people to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) To say that Councilwoman Margaret Pillas is retiring is only half-true. After serving two four-year terms, Pillas announced this week that she will not be seeking a third - but not because of her age, or because she has other things that have taken priority. “I’ll always be a political person,” Pillas said. “But I don’t need to be down there [at City Hall] to do it.” Pillas argued this week, Ocean City’s political culture has become so constrained that there really isn’t a demand for her voice, or at least a demand that will make a difference in council’s chambers. “Would I have run again? Possibly,” Pillas said, “if I would’ve seen the general public really embrace the idea of open discussion at council meetings, if they would’ve clearly demonstrated in a more small-town way…that their feelings need to be known when something does go wrong on the council, that they have a voice to that.”

Instead, Pillas argued, the council’s recent crackdown on adversarial speakers – by limiting the time for public comments, and barring public questions during most discussion topics – has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. While some of the more off-base critics are still there, no one seems to bemoan the loss of more constructive criticism. “It’s a prevailing issue for the more conservative people in town that they don’t’ want to rock the boat, and they don’t’ speak out,” Pillas said. “But if opinions aren’t backed up, truly backed up with letters to the editor or people coming downtown and saying what they think, then I’m up there talking to a silent majority.” “You’ve got to encourage it, which I don’t see on this council,” Pillas said. “That’s why we have these meetings, is for you to come down and voice your opinion and feel comfortable doing it. It’s not easy to speak in public. I’d just like a more welcoming environment where it’s not so tense. I hope this next council embraces that more.” For two of her eight years, Pillas was engaged in a serious of contentious votes and heated debates with her colleagues and the public. Running for re-election in 2010, Pillas endorsed then-newcomer Brent Ashley. After her victory, Pillas convinced long-time political figures Joe Hall and Jim Hall work with her on several key reforms which she knew the city needed, but no one wanted to articulate. “I wanted to talk about the issues that people seemed to be having a hard time putting a voice to,” Pillas said. “I thought I had the wherewithal to take the controversy, and I proved time and time again that I could.” Critically, Pillas was the architect behind the 2011 changes to the city’s salary and benefits system, which has arguably been a massive success. The city hiring more robustly now than it has since before the 2008 crash, albeit at a much lower cost. The town’s health and pension plans were recently described by the town’s financial advisor as offering a “richer benefit” with less liability to the taxpayer. “I’m very proud to have served then, and I’m very proud we were able to get it through and that it’s in place,” Pillas said. At the time, though, the change was unpopular. In meetings, Pillas was typically the point person to debate the council’s critics and opponents. Many saw this as evidence of a council with poor public rapport – one of the main reasons for Hall and Hall’s 2012 ouster. But Pillas sees it the other way around. “That’s the kind of environment I thrive in,” Pillas said. “I don’t want to compromise behind closed doors and then smile for the public. The debate

‘We have to be able to see the warts in gov’t,’ Pillas says doesn’t have to go my way, but I like to know what the politics are.” “We have to be able to see the warts in government. Why hide them? That’s what gets us in trouble in this country. Half the people don’t get it, and the other half don’t’ like the fact that you’re talking about it.” But since 2012, Pillas has clashed with the current council over what she sees as a reluctance to take action on anything that might blemish the façade of consensus. “A 4-to-3 vote doesn’t mean discord or disharmony among the council, it’s simply a discussion of priorities, and it should never be considered negative,” Pillas said. “But it seems to me that the town prefers a council to vote 7-to-0 on issues, which is in opposition to my wellknown stance. The issues that were not brought up because they would be controversial were the issues I tackled.” But in the past two years, Pillas has been instrumental in one public

debate that did result in strong action, although not from the council itself. Pillas was a key figure – behind the scenes - in the petition drive against the council’s attempt to place more parking meters in 2013, which was itself an attempt to close budget gaps caused by raises granted in city union contracts. Pillas opposed the pay hikes. “Petitions are an instrument that helps government,” Pillas said. “That’s why I was always supported the idea of referendums. They help government make a decision that’s too controversial for it to do on its own.” The petition was a success – the council did, indeed, repeal the measure once backed into a corner by the public – but it could’ve just as well happened if Pillas was a private citizen rather than a council member. “Maybe it is just a game that we play [in City Hall],” Pillas said. “But until government opens up, there will always be whistle-blowers.”

909 S. Schumaker Dr Salisbury MD 410-742-4988

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) A 31-year-old Berlin woman was arrested Sept. 10 in connection with numerous burglaries and thefts that occurred in August. During their investigation into those crimes, detectives with the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation discovered that Stacey Lynn Dean Jester had sold electronics to a West Ocean City business. When detectives went to the business, they were told that Jester had sold numerous televisions, cell phones and a laptop computers there. They were also told that Jester had just called and was on her way there with an additional laptop computer that she wanted to sell. They saw Jester arrive in a black vehicle, with two additional women inside. Jester entered the business, followed by a detective, who arrested her on outstanding arrest warrants through the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Ocean City Police Department. After Jester was handcuffed and escorted to a sheriff’s patrol vehicle to be driven to the office for processing, she tried to run from officers, who caught her after a brief chase.

While talking to Jester, detectives discovered that syringes and paraphernalia for heroin use were in the black vehicle, according to a press release from the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation. The vehicle’s occupants, Nicole C. Shortlidge, 40, of Selbyville, Del., and Jamie Esham, 23, of Dagsboro, Del., acknowledged that they were aware of the presence of syringes inside. During a search of the passenger compartment of the vehicle, officers found several syringes, spoons and other items of paraphernalia indicative of heroin usage. Shortlidge and Esham were charged with possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were taken before a District Court commissioner who released them on their personal recognizance. Jester was charged with the arrest warrants. One was for second- and fourth-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and attempted theft of less than $100. The other warrant charged her with theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000 and second-degree escape. Additional charges are expected. Jester is being held in the Worcester County Jail without bond.

H2Oi owners next for Ocean City Vehicle typically late-model VW, Audi or Porsche with water cooling engine By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Buzzing like a swarm of Teutonic locusts, VW enthusiasts are again expected to pack Ocean City in the coming week leading up to the H2O International car show – and again, the resort is poised to take advantage of a largely unauthorized, but lucrative, weekend of tourism. The H2O International – or H2Oi, as it is often abbreviated – is slated to take place Sept. 27-28 at the Fort Whaley Campground. The vast majority of participants, however, stay in Ocean City, and the traffic experience

on Coastal Highway over the past several years has challenged even BikeFest and Cruisin’ OC. This will be the third year for the show at Fort Whaley, but the 15th in the resort area, with previous shows held at Ocean Downs and the Most Blessed Sacrament school fields. “The reality is that I’m a nobody who just happened to spread the word of a decent event,” said event organizer Jay Shoup, who lives in Ocean Pines. The H2Oi is now being widely recognized as the largest show for modified, late-model VW and Audi automobiles in the United States. This year’s headline sponsor is APR, the leading manufacturer of after-market racing and tuning parts for VW, Audi, and Porsche cars. VW corporate is also a main sponsor. In

recent years, Shoup said, the company has used the show as a testing ground on how to market its vehicles to a hipper, younger crowd. The “H2O” in the event’s tile refers to water-cooled engines. In the history of German automobiles, the original air-cooled, opposed-cylinder “Boxer” engine design – found in the Beetle, for instance, and still used in BMW motorcycles – is considered to be a collectible antique. But in 1973, VW began phasing in water-cooled, inline-cylinder engines to compete with more efficient Japanese models. These later designs have traditionally been fodder not for collectors, but for racers and modifiers. Shoup expects 17,000 to 18,000 show attendees.

Utility poles to be updated in Berlin, WOC Four-hour overnight outage to occur Dec. 9 will impact more than 2,400 residents

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Delmarva Power held a community meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 16 to discuss their $43 million project to rebuild transmission lines between Berlin and Ocean City. Beginning in October of this year, the company will replace the existing nine mile, 69,000 volt transmission line in order to increase electric system capacity and improve overall reliability. The project includes replacing roughly 150 45-to-65 foot wooden poles with 80-to-90 foot steel poles, as well as installing new underwater cable under the Isle of Wight Bay between West Ocean City and downtown Ocean City at 2nd Street bayside. The meeting, held at the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company on Keyser Point Road, drew six people and lasted less than an hour. Matt Likovich, a spokesman for Delmarva Power, said Delmarva Power Sr. Public Affairs Manager Jim Smith gave a presentation similar to the one he gave to the Berlin Mayor and

Council on Monday, Sept. 8. The project necessitates a fourhour overnight interruption of power on Dec. 9, which would affect 2,400 residents in the town of Berlin. The outage will not affect Delmarva Power customers. Public comments included questions about the difference in the height of the poles. “We told the audience that industry standards call for taller poles,” said Likovich. “It’s necessary to provide adequate clearance between the new infrastructure and the ground, and that’s just industry standard being different now than they were 50 years ago when that line was originally built. That’s for safety and reliability reasons.” Delmarva Power will move some portions of the line closer to the road than they were previously. “The closer proximity to the road at some particular juncture points allows for easier access if trucks have to do any maintenance work,” Likovich said. “It’s easier to get to the transmission line to do the work.” Another resident raised the question of whether the higher poles would have adverse safety or health effects, which Delmarva Power claimed would not be an issue. “We gave the six people there facts sheets and generally they seemed

satisfied,” Likovich said. “Nobody there was opposed to what we were doing – I think they just wanted to get some answers. The general feeling I got was that they see the need for the project, and what we were explaining seemed to make sense to them. “I saw some heads nod in agreement when we told them that the

‘The closer proximity to the road at some particular juncture points allows for easier access if trucks have to do any maintenance work. It’s easier to get to the transmission line to do the work.’ Matt Likovich, a spokesman for Delmarva Power poles would be steel poles as opposed to the wooden poles that were there, and that those steel poles would withstand hurricane-force winds of 120 miles an hour,” Likovich continued. “When Jim said that I saw heads nod in agreement like, ‘that makes sense,’ especially in the Ocean City area when the winds come roaring through in a big storm. Having poles that are able to withstand 120 mile an hours winds is a

good thing.” Likovich said Delmarva Power advertised the meeting in local newspapers and sent mailers to several hundred home and property owners in the area. “We’ve held meetings on a variety of projects similar to this throughout our territory over the last couple of years, and I can’t recall any opposition to our other projects that we’ve unveiled in our service territory,” Likovich said. “When you get a small turnout I think it’s a sign that customers are comfortable with what we’ve explained. We have a history of doing good work in terms of improving reliability; we’re safe with what we do and we’re looking out for the customers. I think, with people not showing up with the information we’ve sent out, they seem to be satisfied so they don’t see the need to say anything or hear anything.” Likovich estimated the project would add approximately 24 cents to the average monthly bill of a Delmarva Power customer based on usage of 1,000-kilowatt hours per month. “We’re pleased with how things are going,” Likovich said. “We’ve had contact with Ocean City officials, keeping them abreast of what we plan to do, so I think we’re in good shape right now.”

Music Fest hits sour note with fans, musicians Soundwave attendance overall underwhelming

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The Soundwave Music Festival, which was promoted as “three full days of excitement, great entertainment and live music” hit a sour note with some musicians and attendees who said it fell far short of the “not to miss opportunity” they had been led to believe it would be. “I would have been mad as hell to attend if I had actually paid to attend,” said Jill Crosby of Baltimore, who went with a friend who had won VIP tickets to the festival held Sept. 11-13 at Airlift Acres, a 50-acre site on Worcester Highway near Route 90 and Trinity Cathedral outside Berlin. The VIP tickets were supposed to include free food and drink, a T-shirt, front stage admission and mingling and partying with the rock musicians. The free food was a cheeseburger and salad in a bag, the T-shirt was from the poorly attended 2013 Labor Day Music Festival held there and there was no party with the rockers although almost anyone attending could have gotten close to them since crowds were non-existent.

Continued from Page 29 post read. Crosby saw even fewer people. “I think at the most, I saw five people in front of the stage watching the bands,” Crosby said. “We arrived at the venue around 4 o’clock Friday. One band was just finishing up. We didn’t hear another band or any music for that matter till 6 o’clock. Some vendors were packing up and leaving.” “It was altogether a disappointing experience,” Crosby said. “We made the trip from Baltimore for the show. Granted, it was free since we won the tickets but we wouldn’t have wasted the gas going if we knew how disappointing the ‘festival’ would be.” Some people had an even more disappointing experience. Guitarist Tim Barbour of the New York band, Blameshift, said the band was not fully paid for its performance. They had been paid some money in advance, but were due to get the rest of the money following their set. To add insult to injury, he said, the band members were thrown out and members of a second band who took up for them were also thrown out and members of both bands were escorted off the property by police. “We couldn’t believe we were getting kicked off the property,” Barbour said Monday night. When Barbour made his first attempt to settle up money with Airlift Entertainment, which put on the show along with sponsor L.E.O.S.A. (Law Enforcement Officers Safeguarding America), owned by former Ocean City policeman Tim Keane, he was given an envelope of money with a different band’s name on it. He immediately gave it back and questioned why he was never even asked what band he was in before they gave some random person an envelope of cash. After the Airlift affiliate “Sammy” looked again for Barbour’s money, she then claimed Barbour was already paid earlier in the day, he said. On Saturday, however, Barbour received a call from another woman affiliated with Airlift Entertainment, who said the money had been found in an envelope behind the stage. “We think she gave our money to someone else and now they’re saying they’ve found our envelope under the stage,” he said. “Or maybe they didn’t find it at all. It’s just a stupid thing. I just want to get our money.” Monday night, Barbour said it did not seem as if the band would get paid. “We could really use the money,” he said of the band, which has been touring the country for five years. Its members are full time performers, unlike some musicians who have other jobs. “It’s all we do,” he said. “We’ve

Poor attendance rocks Soundwave Music Festival been out since February of this year. Last year, we did 250 shows. We’ve done 180 shows this year.” “This is the only time we’ve had an issue like this,” Barbour said. Like many other touring bands, the members of Blameshift rely on their pay to get to their next tour date and to buy food and other necessities of life. Blamefest flew in its drummer just for the Soundwave Music Festival and made an eight-hour round trip with their bus and trailer. While he was at the festival, Barbour saw about 20 people who were there as attendees. The headline act Friday night had about nine people watching, he said. He also said the food vendors were not pleased at all because they had expected thousands of people to attend the hyped-up Soundwave Music Festival and they had spent thousands of dollars in anticipation of many sales. “The festival was a wash-out,” Barbour said. “No one was there.” A crowd was expected Thursday because admission was free for any retired or active duty service members, military, policed, firefighters and EMTs. Admission fees for those people were reduced by $10 for Friday and Saturday. Regular admission fees were $45 for one day or $110 for three days. VIP rates were $75 for one day or $180 for three days. Keane purposely scheduled the festival to coincide with Delmarva Bike Week, OC Bike Fest and Bikers to the Beach and he was anticipating many motorcyclists to attend the event. Instead of attending in droves, however, the motorcyclists stayed away. “There wasn’t one,” Barbour said. “It was the worst run and least turnout of any festival we’ve ever played.” Last year’s Labor Day Music Festival also had an extremely low turnout. Although it was a fund-raiser for the Worcester County Humane Society and the FOP Lodge 10, neither got any money. The Soundwave Music Festival was also expected to be a

fundraiser, but its intended recipients were not named online and it would seem there might not be any funds to donate. Although Barbour said he and his fellow band members could not let their payment issue take up too much of their time, they want the money due them. “It’s about the principle of proving our point,” he said. “We’d like to get paid for principle alone.” As of Wednesday morning, the band had not been paid. According to www.airliftentertainment.com, additional events are still scheduled at Airlift Acres. Southern Comfort Country/Blues Festival is scheduled for Oct. 4-5 and the Haunted Halloween Fest is scheduled for Oct. 24-Nov. 1. The Web site states that the Haunted Halloween Fest includes the Field of Fears with “plenty of clowns and other Psycho’s,” the Blackwell House, which is not a house, but the remains of a house “where 5 alleged murders took place in the early 1900’s,” and the Trail of Terror or the Path of Death, where there are “actual corpses buried within the path and grounds you will be exploring.” Keane did not return phone calls or email messages by the newspaper’s deadline.

POLICE/COURTS

Burglary investigation Ocean City police are investigating a forced burglary that occurred in the north end of the resort Sept. 8 and was reported the next morning. The home was under construction. When the site supervisor arrived to work that morning, he found evidence that a garage had been broken into and multiple tools had been stolen.

Unauthorized use A 28-year-old man was arrested Aug. 31 after allegedly taking a vehicle without permission from a residence near Ocean Pines. A deputy with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle in the Berlin area and stopped it in the area of Old Worcester Highway and Katelyn Lane where he made contact with the driver, Curtis Adkins. After a

K9 scan on the vehicle resulted in the K9’s positive alert for a controlled dangerous substance, the deputy searched the vehicle and located suspected heroin and two unknown pills, according to the press release. Adkins was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and possession of heroin.

OC to offer limited number of rain barrels for gardening (Sept. 19, 2014) - Once again, the Town of Ocean City is offering a limited number of rain barrels to citizens to be used on property within Ocean City corporate limits. A rain barrel is a water tank positioned at a downspout to collect water and used to water plants or attach to a soaking hose to water a garden. “Rain barrel water is not meant for drinking, but is great for the environment,” said Gail Blazer, environmental engineer for the Town of Ocean City. “Not only do they provide free irrigation for your garden, but they reduce

harmful runoff into our local bays and waterways. Combining the use of rain barrels with appropriate plant selection and mulching promotes water conservation. Rain barrels benefit your home, garden and community.” There is a $20 fee to purchase the barrel, which is subsidized by the Critical Area Mitigation Fund. Those interested in obtaining a rain barrel or who would like more information, contact Blazer in the Engineering Department at 410-289-8825 or email gblazer@ococean.com. The deadline to place an order will be Oct. 15.

City considers less greenery at Sunset Park Downtown space over years has become more popular as resort concert venue By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) While it may seem counterintuitive, the city is considering a renovation of Sunset Park to actually feature less greenery, given that the downtown space has become more popular as a concert venue in recent years. “The garden was a landscape architect’s idea, and it makes for a nice passive park,” said Councilman Dennis Dare at this week’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting. “It hasn’t evolved that way…what has happened is a more active experience with OCDC [the Ocean City Development Corporation] and the concerts.” Located on the South Division Street right-of-way west of Philadelphia Avenue – on the bay directly below the US Coast Guard Station – Sunset Park features extensive landscaping around its perimeters as well as several large planting beds, roughly 20 to 30 feet square, within the park’s walkways.

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Sunset Park may become a little less green, because the downtown space has grown in popularity over the years as a venue for many of the resort’s various concerts.

However, the park – which features a small concert stage on its bayside pier – has also been used for the past several years as a venue for weekly concerts organized by OCDC. But seating for the events has been at a premium, given the space absorbed by the planting beds. Further, the two beds closest to the stage feature native grasses that many passers-by, including city officials, have found to just look like weeds. “Half the park is garden and the other half is function for the venue,” Dare said. “By the time Doug [Coun-

two beds of just grass,” said Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito. Additionally, the front bed contains an electrical junction box that would still be an obstruction to viewing the stage, unless relocated. “I don’t’ think people stroll the park as much as they go there to see an event,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. “Do I think losing those two beds is going to affect people who still want to stroll the park? Probably not.” The issue will be up for discussion again later this month.

City tauts emergency preparedness month (Sept. 19, 2014) September marks the 11th annual National Preparedness Month, and The Town of Ocean City is reminding residents, business owners and visitors that it is a perfect time to prepare for emergencies. National Preparedness Month is designed to educate the public to be ready with an “all hazards approach” to emergencies in their home with families, the community and in business. National Preparedness Month for 2014 focuses on turning awareness into action by encouraging individuals and businesses to create an emergency preparedness plan. The Town of Ocean City’s Emergency Services Department encourages residents and visitors to be prepared by following these simple steps; 1. Become knowledgeable about emergency preparedness in your community, town, county and state by identifying sources of information that will be beneficial before, during and after an emergency. 2. Create a family plan for emergencies that includes an emergency supply kit customized to meet the needs of your family and pets. The key component of National Preparedness Month

is to be prepared for any emergency preparing your family to be self-sufficient for a minimum of 72 hours, but realistically 96 hours or greater to be without power, utilities, water service, supermarkets, gas stations and possibly no Police, Fire or Emergency Medical Services response. 3. Understand that preparedness requires involvement from the public with government. 4. Get involved with volunteer organizations that help citizens during and after an emergency. “National Preparedness Month is a great time to make sure you have the needed tools to survive a crisis or major disaster,” said Joseph Theobald, emergency services director for the Town of Ocean City. “By taking a few simple steps – creating a disaster supply kit, making a family disaster plan and staying informed – citizens can help make preparedness a priority in the community.” After a major disaster, electricity, gas, water, and telephones may not be working. Transportation routes and businesses may be closed. Services in the Ocean City area may also be impacted as staff may be handling serious

incidents during the initial hours of the disaster. The Town of Ocean City Department of Emergency Services offers presentations several times a year on preparedness and is willing to schedule presentations to organizations. They also offer citizens training in the fall for the Community Emergency Response Team program. For more information or for helpful preparedness tips, call 410-723-6646 or visit the Ocean City Emergency Management website, www.ocmdemergency.com. In conjunction with National Preparedness Month, the revised Storm Survival Guide is available to the public. Copies are available in Town at City Hall, Public Safety Building, Ocean City Library, 15th Street Fire Headquarters, Roland E. Powell Convention Center, Northside Park and the Chamber of Commerce in West Ocean City. “Part of your long term preparation for storm events can include mitigation measures to provide permanent protection from storm damages. Ocean City works in cooperation with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency to develop hazard miti-

gation strategies for the city, and to provide opportunities for property owners to participate in the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The HMGP provides grants to state and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major storm disaster declaration. HMGP funds may be used for projects that will reduce or eliminate losses from future disasters, and must provide savings greater than the cost of the project. All mitigation projects must be cost-effective, technically feasible, and meet Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation requirements in accordance with FEMA Guidance. In addition, all mitigation activities must adhere to all relevant state and local regulations, and requirements.”

SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

BOARD OF EDUCATION BRIEFS By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The Worcester County Board of Education discussed the following at its Tuesday meeting:

Mobile app Worcester County Public Schools launched its new app for iPhones, iPads, Androids and other mobile devices Tuesday, following the debut of its revamped website in May. “We’ve got to continue to stay connected with our parents and I’m really excited about this app because I think it’s going to do that,” said Barbara Witherow, Coordinator of Public Relations and Special Programs for the schools. The app pulls information such as countywide school events, athletic schedules, staff directories, lunch menus, notifications such as fog delays

and other school news directly from the website, www.worcesterk12.com. Users can also pay for school meals through the app. Schools are spreading the word about the new app to parents and staff through an automated call, a news column and a flyer to be sent home to parents, Witherow said. Download the free app by searching “Worcester County PS” on a mobile device’s app store or find it through the school website.

Capital Improvement Each October, Worcester schools must submit a six-year Capital Improvement Program to the State of Maryland Interagency Committee on School Construction to help the group identify school construction needs and establish a schedule for funding and implementation of projects.

The FY2016 program includes a planning request for a new school to replace Showell Elementary, a space-tight structure from 1976 that has outgrown its student body. According to a report by winning bidder Becker Morgan Group in May, the project will cost approximately $47,565,863. “It’s long past due,” Board Member Robert Hulburd said at the Board of Education’s meeting in May. The CIP also includes a request for the balance of state funding for the Snow Hill High School renovation and addition project currently in progress. The board approved the FY2016 CIP at its Tuesday meeting.

Snow Hill High School Construction continues at Snow Hill High School, where Oak Contracting workers have completed masonry

on the new commons, kitchen, cafeteria, band and choir rooms; roofed the band and choir room; and primed the new kitchen and cafeteria. They are working on the new bus loop, sidewalks, brick veneer in the band and choir rooms, and ductwork in the kitchen and cafeteria; painting the new gym, band and choir rooms; and adding stone ballast to finished roofs. Over the next 30 days, the crew will pave the new student parking lot; add color coating to the new tennis court; construct foundations for the stadium bleachers; add roofing to the new gym; work on ductwork in the gym, band and choir rooms; and begin gridding in ceilings in the locker rooms and kitchen. The Board of Education approved construction requisition No. 8 for $1.8 million to be paid toward the $40 million project during its meeting Tuesday.

Two fundraisers started to aid family after house fire

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Fundraisers were quickly established after an Ocean Pines family lost their residence in a fire last Friday. Two of the fundraisers were created Saturday online at www.gofundme.com for Jesse and Hailey Scott, who were renting the house at 9 Frigate Run, where they lived with their four children, Aaden, Marley, Kenady and Harrison, ages 12 to 5 months. A fire started in the kitchen at about 7 p.m. and firefighters from the Ocean Pines and Showell fire departments responded. Shortly after they arrived, additional assistance was requested and firefighters from Berlin and Ocean City responded. Hailey Scott and her children were home at the time of the fire, which spread to the roof. They left and stayed with a friend. An investigation into the fire by the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office determined that unattended cooking was the cause. The fire investigator classified the fire as accidental. The next morning at 3:33, another fire, determined to be a rekindle of the first fire, caused significant damage to the house, which is owned by Jeffrey and Jennifer Brooks of Oak Hall, Va. The

house was fully engulfed in flames during that second fire. No family members were there at the time of the second fire. The Scott Family Relief Fund at gofundme.com raised more than $6,000 in its first day. David Park started it to raise money to help the family relocate and to purchase clothing, furniture and toys and to pay for other expenses. Also at gofundme.com is the Fire Relief Fund – Scott Family that raised $2,985 in about the same time. By Tuesday afternoon, the fund had grown to $3,335. That fund was started by Elisa Urban, who works at Bliss Salon in West Ocean City and is a good friend of Hailey. To help the family, Bliss Salon, located at 12310 Ocean Gateway, will have a cut-a-thon this Sunday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The staff there will give haircuts for cash donations. No minimum donation is required, Urban said Tuesday. The family had requested fall and winter clothing, but those needs are being met. They still need small furniture items, toys and basic household items such as kitchenware. Those donations may be taken to Bliss Salon, Quality Inn & Suites Beachfront at 33rd Street in Ocean City or Urban’s residence at 1226 Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines.

Meehan implores SHA to improve Route 90 bridge

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The Route 90 bridge should be improved before building a new Route 50 bridge, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan told state transportation officials Tuesday. That bridge “is the reason I’m here today,” he told Jim Smith, secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland State Highway Administration administrator Melinda Peters and others during the annual county visit to discuss transportation projects. Route 90, he said, is one of only three access points to the resort and it becomes more and more important every year. When the Route 50 bridge became stuck in the open position for five hours on a Saturday afternoon this summer, traffic backed up all the way to Berlin and caused problems in West Ocean City. Almost all of the Ocean City ambulances happened to be on the other side of the bridge and, for some period of time, only one remained in the resort, Meehan said. “This creates a significant problem,” he said. It also points to the need to focus on the potential for natural disasters such as hurricanes. During the busy season, up to 250,000 people at one time could be in Ocean City and “they become our responsibility.” The

PITCH BUS PRESENTATION Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan says a few words during an opening ceremony Monday in front of the Start-Up Maryland Entrepreneur Pitch Bus, parked under the Boardwalk arch on Division Street. Sponsored by Worcester County Economic Development (WCED), the event promotes entrepreneurial culture and emphasizes the importance of growing and sustaining local businesses, which strengthen the economy.

resort government must know it can evacuate those people, which it can do in stages during a 36-hour period, “but that’s with all access points operational,” he said. During Superstorm Sandy, the storm surge blocked access to Route 50 and motorists couldn’t go through Delaware because of the state of its roads. If a collision had closed Route 90, “we would have had problems,” he said. “If we lose that bridge . . . our emergency vehicles . . . our ability to respond stops,” Meehan said. “More people are coming all the time

and we need to keep them safe,” said Meehan as he asked the commissioners to make improvements to the Route 90 bridge a priority. It is time to start dualizing it, he said. Commissioner Louise Gulyas also asked the transportation officials to make Route 90 a priority. If the Route 50 bridge was nonfunctional again, “traffic would be hellacious,” she said. “No one would get anywhere.” The state has no funding for planning improvements for Route 90, which carries less than half the traffic that enters Ocean

City, Peters said. She also said the Route 50 bridge is in good condition although a mechanical issue caused it to become stuck in the open position. It still has 15 to 20 years of life, she said. The mechanism on the bridge is not in poor shape. “It is in good working order,” she said. Although improvements to either of the Ocean City bridges are unlikely to begin for several years, two bridges in the southern end of the county are being rehabilitated now to improve safety and operations. Both bridges are on Route 13 and cross the Pocomoke River.

Pawning stolen jewelry leads to prison for woman By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The Pocomoke woman who helped pawn jewelry stolen from a residence near West Ocean City in the spring was sentenced earlier this month to five years in prison. On May 7, 2013, Kente Wilcox, 30, of Westover, and Maurice Holden, 32, of Melfa, Va., were traveling in a van with telephone directories as a ruse so they could pretend they were delivering them. Actually, they just wanted to try to break into houses. They entered a house off Route 611 after finding its garage door opener in an unlocked car while the owners were away for part of an afternoon. Inside, they stole a safe containing valuable jewelry. Most of the jewelry items were family heirlooms and several were one-of-a-kind pieces. The safe was later found in a wooded area. During the investigation, police saw a video of Wilcox, Holden and a woman at a pawn shop in Pocomoke

where they pawned some items stolen from that house. That woman was Patricia Antoinette Johnson, 31, of Pocomoke. In Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Sept. 3, Johnson entered an Alford plea to being an accessory after the statute. In an Alford plea, the defendant does not admit guilt, but acknowledges that the prosecution has sufficient evidence for a conviction. It is considered a guilty plea. Judge Richard Bloxom sentenced Johnson to five years in prison, with all but two years and six months suspended. After her release from prison, Johnson will be on supervised probation for five years. Johnson and the others involved in that crime were ordered to make restitution of $200,000 to the homeowners. Holden was sentenced March 6 to 15 years in prison, with all but five years suspended. Wilcox, who was found guilty of committing two burglaries and was shot by the homeowner during the second burglary, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for each crime. His sentences will be served concurrently. Wilcox had reportedly agreed to testify against Johnson if she pleaded not guilty.

Ocean City’s largest fall festival kicked off the “second season” in the resort, Thursday, Sept. 18, with four days of arts and crafts, live entertainment, food and family activities during the 40th annual Sunfest. In addition to music, hundreds of local, regional and national vendors will be at Sunfest selling everything from jewelry and handbags to ceramics and smoothies.

Sunfest celebrates 40 years in OC Four-day festival filled with music, food and vendors selling assortment of goods

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Ocean City’s largest fall festival is in full swing with hundreds of arts and crafts vendors, live music, a variety of foods and family activities at the inlet for the 40th annual Sunfest. The free festivities kicked off yesterday and continues through Sunday, Sept. 21, under giant tents at the south end of the Boardwalk, where more than 300 vendors and food booths are serving thousands of Sunfest patrons. Ranked No. 1 in Sunshine Artist magazine’s annual 200 best shows list for 2014, Sunfest draws more than 100,000 visitors downtown each year. “Sunfest is certainly one of our longest-standing events and something that brings out people of all different interests and all different ages,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Whether you like to come for the food or for the live en-

tertainment, or you like to shop the tents, there’s something for everyone.” “There’s always an opportunity to come explore what’s new,” said Ocean City’s Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller, though many Sunfest patrons return annually to visit their favorite vendors, too, he said. Live acts from a Beatles tribute band to local talent Randy Lee Ashcraft & the Saltwater Cowboys and Sir Rod will play the Sunfest stage all weekend, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., during free performances. The Reagan Years will give a special show to close out the festival at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21. In addition, three ticketed performances highlight the festival each year. The 2014 headliner bands include The Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley, who kicked off Sunfest last night with his collection of classic soul hits; country music sensation Eric Paslay and Parmalee tonight, Friday, starting at 8 p.m.; and 80’s heartthrob Rick Springfield, who will play to a sold-out crowd Saturday night. Tickets for the headlining acts are

on sale at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center box office on 40th Street. Box office hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Guests can also buy tickets by calling TicketMaster at 800-551-7328 or visiting www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets will be on sale at the festival grounds during Sunfest on a firstcome basis, though less than 500 remained earlier in the week for tonight’s performance, Miller said. In addition to live music, hundreds of local, regional and national vendors will be at Sunfest selling wares from pottery and paintings to one-ofa-kind handbags and famous Eastern Shore fare. For many, it marks the highlight of their festival season. “This is one of the best festivals on the East Coast,” said Allen Taylor, owner of London Court Beverage, who’s been bringing his frozen drinks and fresh-squeezed lemonade to the festival for more than two decades. “The vendors have voted Sunfest No. 1 because it’s a show that pulls in people,” Miller said.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Tens of thousands will flock to Ocean City’s inlet this weekend for four days of food, arts and crafts vendors and a full lineup of live music during the resort’s Sunfest. The 40th annual event kicked off Thursday and will keep filling its stage with local talent and national acts starting at 10 a.m. daily through Sunday, with acts from a Beatles tribute band to local talent Randy Lee Ashcraft & the Saltwater Cowboys and Sir Rod on tap for free shows. In addition, Sunfest will host three headliner bands for ticketed performances, kicking off Thursday night with The Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley showcasing his collection of classic soul hits. The headliners keep rolling tonight with a show by county music legend Eric Paslay, who will perform alongside Parmalee starting at 8 p.m. Tomorrow, 80s heartthrob Rick Springfield takes the stage in front of a sold-out crowd. “We get to host some really amazing talent for our headliners,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. Paslay has released four singles, including Top 5 hit “Friday Night,” a cover of the original Lady Antebellum song. He wrote or co-wrote every song on his self-titled album, which debuted in February, and has written for fellow artists Jake Owen, the Eli Young Band, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum. In 2013, Paslay sang on Amy Grant’s album “How Mercy Looks from Here,” sharing lead vocals with Grant and Sheryl Crow on a song he wrote called “Deep As It Is Wide.” “Eric Paslay knows a thing or two See PARMALEE Page 42

Parmalee joins Eric Paslay Continued from Page 41 about songwriting,” wrote the Rolling Stone’s Wendy Geller of the country star this year. Learn more about him at www.ericpaslay.com. Joining him the Sunfest stage will be four-piece country band Parmalee, whose latest single “Close Your Eyes” is riding country radio’s Top 20. Based in the small North Carolina town the band chose for its name, Parmalee is comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, on lead vocals and guitar and drums, respectively, joined by Barry Know, on bass,

and Josh McSwain, on guitar. The group found its sound roots in the bluegrass, traditional country, southern rock and blues covers they heard growing up. “We have a good time and we always like to bring a good time to the stage,” said Matt Thomas, who’s looking forward to getting back to the beach for the Ocean City show. “We’re from the East Coast area so it’s always just great when we get to get back,” he said, promising the band’s hits such as “Move,” “Close See RICK Page 43

Visit www.parmalee.com for more information on the band. Tickets to the show were still available at press time. They are on sale at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center box office on 40th Street, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today. Guests can also buy tickets by calling TicketMaster at 800-551-7328 or visiting www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets will be on sale at the festival grounds during Sunfest on a firstcome basis, though less than 500 remained earlier in the week for tonight’s performance, said Frank Miller, Ocean City’s Special Events Superintendent. Tomorrow, Saturday, Australianative Rick Springfield will take the stage to perform his 80s hits including “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Human Touch,” and No. 1 hit “Jessie’s Girl.” After touring for more than 30 years and with 25 million record sales under his belt, the singer shows no signs of stopping. “I put everything I’ve got into making records,” Springfield said. Known for a rock-heavy, high-energy set, Springfield in 2013 switched his act to a more intimate performance in his “Stripped Down” show. “There are some favorite songs that I’ve written that I have never had the chance to perform live, mainly because they never fit into our sets,” he said. “I think fans will be as excited to hear these songs live as I am to play them.” In October 2012, he released “Songs for the End of the World,” his 17th studio album. Springfield will play to a sold-out crowd Saturday starting at 8 p.m. on the Sunfest stage. Visit www.rickspringfield.com for more about the singer. The headliners were a major draw at Sunfest 2013, when Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves and The Beach Boys played sold-out concerts to 1,750-person crowds Friday and Saturday night. Jesse Garon’s tribute to Elvis Thursday night drew an audience of 1,367 and other live music played throughout the weekend. Visitors can again enjoy a full schedule of free music every day during Sunfest. The music kicks off at 10 each morning and runs until 7 p.m., except on Sunday, when the festival ends with a special performance by the Reagan Years at 4:30 p.m. “It’s going to be a great event,” Miller said. “They forecast is showing terrific weather, so it’s going to be a great wrap-up to the summer season.” Parking is limited at the festival grounds, so Sunfest patrons should consider using city buses. The West Ocean City Park and Ride, just west of the Route 50 bridge, provides free

parking and a $3 ride-all-day shuttle service to and from South Division Street, a block from Sunfest. Parking is free at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street, where the Sunfest Express shuttle picks up riders for a direct route to Sunfest for a $3 ride-all-day pass. For more information on bus fares, call Ocean City Transportation at 410-723-1606. Sunfest is open today and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the inlet at the south end of Ocean City’s Boardwalk.

(Clockwise) Bishopville’s Kathleen Davis returns to Sunfest with comfortable hanging chairs as well as gold-filled jewelry this weekend. Sarasota, Fla., business, Island Sand Sculptures, will feature nautical-themed painted and three-dimensional sand art.

mouth was the deciding factor that brought her and her Sarasota, Fla., business to Ocean City this weekend. “Ocean City being on the ocean and Maryland being a nautical state, it’s a good fit,” said DeMichele, who with her husband Allan makes marine-themed sand paintings out of beach sand and lightweight cement. The couple has scenes from turtles and sea horses to a Maryland blue crab for sale at their booth, available in painted patterns or three-dimensional “rust pieces,” she said.

Another new vendor, Not Sisters Two’s Elaine Bond decided to sign up for a table at Sunfest after reading about its awards, including Sunshine Artist magazine’s top pick in its 2014 best shows list. “It is rated in all our trade magazines as the No. 1 show,” said Bond, See FIRST-TIME Page 48

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Allen Taylor has been bringing his smoothies, frozen coffee and fresh-squeezed lemonade to Sunfest shoppers for more than 20 years. He makes the trip from Pasadena to Ocean City each year because, of the 65 shows he attends, Sunfest, he put simply, “is the best.” “It’s laid out well. The crowds are nice. There’s great entertainment, great food, great shopping,” said the owner of London Court Beverage. “This is one of the best festivals on the East Coast.” Taylor joined more than 300 other arts and crafts and food vendors this week setting up at the midway and under giant tents at the inlet, where they will sell wares from pottery and paintings to one-of-a-kind handbags and gourmet food this weekend during the 40th annual Sunfest. Events kicked off yesterday and continue throughout the weekend, when Sunfest is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at the south end of Ocean City’s Boardwalk.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor cultural activities for sensuous Bovines. Attend a concert or an art show. Better yet, create something yourself (a poem, perhaps?), and dedicate it to someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Respect any doubts you might now be feeling about a new situation. They could be reflecting your inner awareness that some essential information might be missing. Check it out.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s important to start the new month with as clean a slate as possible. Either complete all those unfinished tasks or pass them on to others who would be more than happy to take them on. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to cut down on expenses and tame that urge to splurge. Applying some financial discipline now could help the Big Cat ride out a possible monetary crunch later on.

Money matters are dominant this week. Recheck your accounts and make sure they’re up-to-date. Also, pay more attention to personal issues before they become major problems.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

You might be tempted to employ the same tactics as your adversary, but that could backfire. Better to use the same balanced approach that has worked for you before and could again.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A changing workplace environ-

ment could stir up confusion as well as apprehension. Best to ignore the rumors and get the facts. You could find that the changes bring positive elements.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Communication is easier

this week with people ready and eager to hear what you have to say. Also, check for possible technical problems before you start your new project.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Aspects favor change for the

usually traditional Goat. Opening your mind to possibilities you had ignored could lead you to make decisions you once considered improbable.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Making personal as well as pro-

fessional adjustments to changing conditions might be easier with more information explaining the “hows” and “whys” of the situations in question. With a growing tide of positive reactions to buoy your confidence, this could be the right time to put the finishing touches to your new project and get it well and truly launched.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for setting an example of quiet, calm reasoning in the midst of chaotic conditions.

Thirty restaurants to provide treats during Beach Bash

First-time vendors join Sunfest vets in selling wares Continued from Page 44 who makes and sells one-of-a-kind leather and fabric handbags. “It’s so well run and it’s very popular with all of our clients.” Shoppers at her booth can find handmade bags that are truly unique because she never makes the same bag twice, Bond said. A five-year Springfest vendor, she hopes Sunfest will bring return customers from the event earlier this year. “If we do as well as we do at Springfest, we will be very happy,” she said. Visit www.notsisterstwo.com to see examples of Not Sisters Two’s work. Bishopville local Kathleen Davis, who has been selling at Sunfest for more than two decades, said the customers keep her returning to the midway each year. “We get to see everybody we know,” said Davis, who is selling hanging chairs and gold-filled jewelry. “You’re going to find unique things there that you don’t find anywhere else, plus they’ve got good music all day long and good food.” Ben May, of Hampstead’s Ben May Clay, agreed: “Sunfest brings out a great crowd.” “Its an end-of-the-summer celebra-

tion,” May said. “There’s live music all day, food vendors and craft vendors. It’s just a last hoorah of the summer.” Returning for his fourth Sunfest, he’s giving demonstrations on his potter’s wheel at his booth, where pieces such as mugs, bowls, plates and dishes are on sale. See May’s work at www.benmayclay.com. Parking is limited at the festival grounds downtown and Sunfest patrons should consider using city buses.

Parking is free at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street, where the Sunfest Express shuttle picks up riders for a direct route to Sunfest for a $3, ride-all-day pass.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Believe in Tomorrow’s Beach Bash is back Monday with fare from 30 local restaurants, all-youcan-drink craft beer and a chance to win more than $10,000 in cash prizes at Seacrets on 49th Street. The bash has been an annual fundraiser for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation for more than 15 years, helping back its mission to provide critically ill children and their families with a weeklong vacation at the beach away from the everyday stresses of a child’s illness. “Every year it just kept growing and growing,” Believe in Tomorrow Coordinator Wayne Littleton said. “It’s amazing how many people come down for it. It’s a fun, casual evening.” Last year, around 900 attended 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 highlight is the food, Littleton said. “The restaurants make the event,” he said. “For $50 you can eat all the See MORE Page 49

Colorful kites to fill sky throughout weekend in resort

Taylor Sloan Intern (Sept. 19, 2014) The Sunfest Kite Festival, hosted by the Kite Loft, kicked off Thursday and will continue through Sunday on the Boardwalk and beach at Sixth Street. The festival draws thousands of visitors to the Ocean City Boardwalk and beach, according to Jay Knerr, owner of the Kite Loft. “What really attracts people is the giant kites,” he said. This year, two featured kites are “Toothless,” a dragon character from the animated children’s feature, “How to Train Your Dragon,” and Mell, a 100 foot giant blue whale. Jeff and Joyce King of Annapolis will fly these kites. Several activities for children and adults are taking place during the festival. These include kite flying, kite games, candy drops, quad kite demonstrations; four line kites flown in formation, and bol races. Bol races consist of a small parachute tied to the back of a person. These races are between three or four children, and they are also held between children and their parents. Small prizes will be awarded to the winners. On Saturday there will be a Kids

Colorful kites will fill the sky this weekend during the annual Sunfest Kite Festival, hosted by the Kite Loft, on the Boardwalk and beach at Sixth Street.

Kite Fly event at 1 p.m. on the beach. Families are encouraged to arrive at 12:30 p.m. The first 60 children who participate will receive a free kite; the only requirement is that the children fly their kites, wind permitting. “I like the kids events most,” said Mike Van Meers, coordinator of the kite festival since 1997. “There is a dance event for different age groups, and Boardwalk spectators are the judges. It’s a lot of fun.”

Also taking place during the weekend are mass ascensions. Each day, several kites will be launched into the air at one time. Kite flyers and the public are all encouraged to participate in these mass ascensions, which will take place throughout the four-day festival. “Kite flying is something people have always enjoyed,” Knerr said. For more information, call the Kite Loft at 410-289-7855 or visit www.kiteloft.com.

Continued from Page 48 desserts and food, drink all the craft beers and soda you want.” 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. 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 batch 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,” See BASH Page 51

SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

Party to benefit Coastal Hospice at the Ocean By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill is bringing back one of Ocean City’s favorite cocktail parties Wednesday night, Sept. 24, during Blues on the Bay. It’s the seventh year owners Pam and Walter “Macky” Stansell are presenting the fundraiser for Coastal Hospice at the Ocean at the 54th Street restaurant. Tickets include three hours of live music, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a front-row view of the sunset over the bay. “It’s a cocktail party with wonderful food and an open bar,” said Pam. But it’s also “an awareness-type of get-together to let the community know about the progress that we’ve made with the Coastal Hospice by the Ocean building.”

Blues on the Bay is one of the project’s major fundraiser each year and, after raising $65,000 through the 2013 event, the capital campaign surpassed its halfway mark of $2.5 million, said Elaine Bean, community relations manager for Coastal Hospice. “It’s something we count on to help fund the capital campaign,” she said. Once Hospice finishing raising the funds, the building on Prospect Drive, in Berlin, will be able to house six patients at a time who are no longer able to live on their own. It will serve at least 50 patients per year, with plans to eventually double in size. With gardens, a labyrinth and a full-size kitchen, “it’s really designed to be a home-like atmosphere,” Bean said. The multi-purpose building will also house a community outreach

center to offer have grief support and training on topics like living wills and the home-visits team of healthcare professionals. “It’s very needed. There’s nothing like it in the four lower shore counties” that Coastal Hospice serves, Bean added. The Stansells have been involved with Coastal Hospice for than 20 years, after Pam’s mother came to live with them near the end of her life. Macky is a member of the Coastal Hospice Board of Directors and they were key contributors to the purchase of the land that will house the new residence. The couple donates the food for Blues on the Bay, which will feature singer and saxophonist Everett Spells’ live music. “The Stansells’ investment of time as well as their financial generosity

continues to show their commitment to Coastal Hospice and the future vision of the Coastal Hospice at the Ocean residence project,” Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen said. “It’s really above and beyond the call,” said Director of Development Maureen McNeill. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a private, non-profit program providing traditional hospice services, palliative care, bereavement support, education and training for patients and their families in Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset and Dorchester counties. It provided charity care in excess of $500,000 last year and helps around 1,000 patients annually, Bean said. Local voters named Blues on the Bay the Best Charity in the Greatest See FUNDS Page 55

Last year, around 2,300 volunteers collected an estimated 14,000 pounds of trash, including items such as a hockey puck, license plate, mailbox, lawn chairs, snow shovels and bicycles. While that’s no small amount of waste, it’s down from around 60,000 pounds of trash collected a decade ago thanks to increased public awareness, Likovich said. “People are getting the message that it pays to be environmentally conscious,” he said, and that’s espeSee VOLUNTEERS Page 56

Continued from Page 55 cially important in communities such as Ocean City where individuals rely on the beach to draw tourists and a thriving economy. Coastal Cleanup is part of International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by Ocean Conservancy, a group that works to protect the world’s oceans. It uses the types and amounts of trash collected to help identify sources of debris and explore ways to cut litter. The initiative began 28 years ago with Delaware’s Get the Drift and Bag It program, which Delmarva Power took over four years later. The local Coastal Cleanup has since grown to cover shorelines from Pennsylvania to Maryland, Likovich said. Ocean City’s cleanup launches at 10 a.m. tomorrow at City Hall, on Baltimore Avenue at Third Street. Volunteers can register in advance by calling city Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer at 410-289-8221 or can register onsite the day of the event. The town will provide trash bags and plastic gloves for the cleanup, which takes place throughout the city. Volunteers can came back to City Hall after their work for drawings and giveaways until about 12 p.m., Blazer said. Assateague Island will host its cleanup tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. at the North Beach Parking Lot on As-

sateague Island National Seashore. The Assateague Coastkeeper will also lead volunteers who wish to clean up the bayside by boat, kayak or standup paddleboard. Water volunteers should meet at 9 a.m. at the parking area for Old Ferry Landing on Assateague Island National Seashore. Call Assateague Coastal Trust’s Matt Heim at 410-629-1538 to register in advance or sign up onsite that morning. Those in lower Worcester County can volunteer at the Nassawango Creek cleanup at 9 a.m. tomorrow at the intersection of Route 12 and Old Stage Coach Lane in Snow Hill, about 9 miles from the Town of Snow Hill or Salisbury. Contact The Nature Conservancy’s Joe Fehrer at 410-4301743 to register in advance or show up that morning to sign up onsite. The cleanups usually last from two to two-and-a-half hours. Volunteers should bring their own gloves, bug spray, sun screen and water. Trash bags will be provided. All volunteers get a free Coastal Cleanup T-shirt bearing this year’s logo, as supplies last. “It’s a community event. It’s an opportunity for people to get together,” Likovich said. “People feel good about what they can offer,” Blazer said.

There are several ways volunteers help at Coastal Hospice. Volunteers visit patients and their families to offer a listening ear, read, run errands, prepare meals or hold a hand. They assist with office duties, provide community education, attend health fairs and help with fundraising activities. Volunteers also work at the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop

in Berlin, assisting customers, creating displays, operating the cash register and sorting and pricing donations. “Our volunteers say the experience of helping Coastal Hospice enriches their own lives,” said Judy Hunt-Harris, manager of volunteers. “Many volunteers simply want to make a difference in our community.” Volunteers serve in one of the four Lower Shore counties Coastal Hospice serves—Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset—and can generally set their own schedule. Walks-ins to both sessions are welcome, or anyone interested may call Hunt-Harris for more information at 410-543-2590. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions, but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

Baby boomers hit dance floor at Harpoon Hanna’s

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) Adages is what it’s all about these days. OK! OK! With the elections coming up and two of my kids running in different states, I might have to resort to taking the fifth and running with it. H’mmm! No problem there. I can’t even find it. I know my dad would say he saw it walking down the street. Yeah, parents would say the weirdest things in the olden days. With the elections coming up, am I asking what I could do for the government? No way Jose. I’m really concentrating on acquiring patience. My problem with the good Lord? I want it right now. These old Irish eyes ain’t what they used to be, but at Harpoon Hanna’s 2-5 p.m. happy hour last week, quite a few baby boomers hit that dance floor. Musician, almost live Bob Burns, kept them up there dancing away to the tunes of their times. Maybe they realized that Bob’s vast repertoire (that’s good Bob) includes 40’s to 90’s music. Trust me. Ask and you shall receive.

Roasted potato, leek soup on menu

Kemp encourages friends, readers to ‘enjoy yourself’

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) How America eats is a cornucopia of tradition and cultural diversification that is reflected in its everyday menu. History is a major part of our country’s pot of authenticity. In addition, succeeding waves of immigrants from varied backgrounds have brought new culinary customs to our kitchens and have lent credence to what we call American food. This country’s genuineness is mirrored in the celebration of sparkling seashore picnics, rustic campside barbecues, casual family feasting and exquisite five-star restaurant dining

experiences. Multifariousness is the root of cohesiveness. Pennsylvania shoofly pie, New Orleans Creole jambalaya, Long Island duckling, Texas chili and Maryland crab cakes are just a few samplings that tickle our fancy and keep us salivating for more. Since food specialties in the United States generally follow regional boundaries, a brief tour according to regions are the “blue plate” special of the day. A chef must be able to eat in every language. Each ingredient has purpose intended, and please do not hold any food prejudices. New England’s dishes relish in the glory of simplicity. Maine is the lobster capital of the United States. The fragrance of the balsam mingled with the ocean’s salty breath and the background of seagulls commanding each and every moment captures the mystery of the sea. No pretentious sauces adorn this delicacy; warm succulent butter drips from the lips in total satisfaction. The sweet meat is divine indeed. In New York City, one can eat around the clock, around the calendar, and nothing is off the menu. But my heart’s desire is the creamy nectar with such sinful pleasures. Plain or adorned with berries that pop with longing are the options that adorn thee. Cheesecake of every craving is proudly displayed on

every corner; the choice is for the taking. Mississippi, a gulf state like her neighbor Louisiana, makes great use of the abundance of the sea. But head north and one eyes feast on cattle and pigs. Stuffed ham is a tradition and the savory components opens one imagination to the fullest degree. Henri Charpentier could not have said it better, “carve a ham as if you were shaving the face of a friend.” Look for the beauty in everything you are about to receive. Time is coming to an end so let us fancy a dish that can grace the American table no matter the region or one’s heritage. Roasted potato and leek soup might be considered a dish of modest means, but the flavor reigns supreme. Pork cheek, crème fraiche and Parmigiano Reggiano are the trinity of success. The weather is taking a turn and velvety roasted potato and leek soup is a great addition to one’s fall menu. Ingredients ½ cup good quality olive oil 2 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾-inch chunks 4 ½ cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, thoroughly cleaned 6 strips pork cheek (bacon can be used as a substitute) 3 large cloves of garlic See SOUP Page 61

Ocean City Beach Patrol final day in stands, Sept. 21

Soup perfect fall and winter dish

Lifeguards return to duty Memorial Day weekend

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) As you take a walk along the beach next week you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The beach patrol will officially end the 2014 guarding season this Sunday, Sept. 21. During our guarding season, Surf Rescue Technicians (SRTs) are in stands and fulfilling all three parts of our mission (education, prevention and intervention) on a daily basis between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. After this Sunfest weekend, the lifeguard stands will be removed quickly from the beach and we will no longer position SRTs along Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach until May 2015. At this time of year it is important for people to realize that the beach patrol is off duty and they should not participate in water-related activities until the beach patrol is back on duty next Memorial Day weekend. We realize that in spite of our warnings a warm sunny day, even in October, will tempt some people to make the very poor decision to venture into the ocean. Please heed our warnings. The same rip current hazards that exist during our season, when we are making hundreds of rescues, are still present now and could possibly even be more treacherous due to tropical storm activity that is typical for this time each year. The ocean is no less dangerous than it was in late August and September. We have experienced an increase in wave action and surf in recent weeks. This resulted in a few rather busy days since Labor Day for the OCBP pulling people out of rip currents and making rescues under challenging circumstances with stands blocks apart. We have made more than 200 rescues since the last week in August. Had some of these situations occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty there would have been multiple tragedies and families devastated. Unfortunately one situation occurred just 40 minutes after the guards had removed everyone from the ocean and left for the day when an 18-year-old chose to go back in. This turned tragic as his family watched him struggle and go under water only to watch his lifeless body being carried from the surf by off-duty lifeguards and fire department personnel.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 2 cups leeks and a dusting of salt. Add Âź cup olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Place marinated vegetables on a sheet pan. Wrap each clove of garlic with 1 strip of pork cheek to prevent the garlic from burning. Roast

for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. Discard pork cheek. 3. Stir in the wine, one cup of chicken stock, 1 cup of vegetable stock and cook over low heat, scraping up any crispy pieces stuck to the bottom of the pan. Remember, these crunchy bits are the caviar of flavor. Remove from heat and set aside. 4. In the meantime, heat the remaining chicken and vegetable stock in a small pan to a slow boil and allow the rosemary to infuse with the liquid for 5 minutes. Set aside. 5. Puree the vegetables in batches along with the leftover stocks. Make sure you remove the rosemary before the pureeing process. Pour the pureed mixture into a large pot. 6. Add the cream, crĂ¨me fraiche,

cheese, salt, pepper and heat over low heat. Constantly stir and allow mixture to thicken. Remove from heat and cover. 7. In a medium pan over mediumhigh heat, sautĂŠ the remaining 3 strips of pork cheeks in Âź cup olive oil until very crispy. Crumble and set aside as a garnish. 8. Cut the remaining Âź cup of leeks into very thin julienne strips. In the same pan over medium-high heat, fry leeks until crispy. Place on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. 9. Serve hot soup and top with crispy pork cheeks, leeks, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Only swim when lifeguards on duty, beach patrol warns Continued from Page 61 stands will be pulled off the beach and lifeguards will no longer report for duty. However, we will maintain a minimum presence for a few weeks (through Columbus Day Monday) with a mobile Water Rescue Patrol on weekends. The Water Rescue Patrol is comprised of mobile rescue units. These mobile rescue units are firstaid and AED equipped and consist of 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. Although Ocean City fire/EMS are ready and willing to respond to surf rescues, (the OCBP has trained a group of fire/EMS personnel as rescue swimmers), the beach patrol is the agency that is trained and equipped specifically for this mission. Having fully equipped mobile rescue response vehicles with a driver and a rescue swimmer already on the beach will save critical minutes should the need arise. The OCBP will be in response mode like the paramedics or police, with a small number of mobile

rescue units deployed on the beach each weekend. Each unit will patrol two to three miles of ocean. Typically, the nearest mobile rescue unit will respond to the “swimmer in trouble” call, forwarded by a 911 dispatcher. Having the mobile units out on the beach makes the OCBP one step closer if someone needs assistance. When a rescue is needed, the rescue swimmer initiates the intervention while the driver who is also a trained rescue swimmer maintains radio contact with the Ocean City Communications Center and acts as backup to the initial rescuer and requests additional resources should the situation require any (EMS, police, Coast Guard, etc.) Without the Water Rescue Patrol, a call to 911 would be answered in Snow Hill and then be transferred to Ocean City Communications who would then dispatch the nearest available EMS unit and fire department personnel. Although Ocean City emergency response time is the fastest in the nation, during a drowning situation, where minutes count, this process may take tragically too long. The beach patrol’s response to this circumstance is to have Mobile Rescue Units already staffed on the beach. Having these units already on the beach and mobile effectively reduces the response time from original call to victim contact and will hopefully result in a successful intervention. It is important however that people not depend on these mobile rescue units as if they are lifeguards protecting their love ones. Without educating the public and actively preventing potential incidents the beach patrol is unable to fulfill its mission and work in a proactive manner, therefore we are in a reactionary mode and cannot provide the coverage that the public is accustomed to during our regular guarding season. We have seen too many times when swimming without lifeguards and poor judgment turns into a tragedy with the loss of a life. Our saying, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” is a friendly reminder of the very serious warning, to only swim when lifeguards are on duty. The first priority of the Ocean City Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. Therefore, we strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water-related activities to times when beach patrol personnel See OCBP Page 63

OCBP lifeguards return to stands Memorial Day wknd. Continued from Page 62 are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device. Since the beach patrol is off duty until May and we have explained the dangers of swimming unprotected, we do not expect to see you or anyone you care about in the ocean until Memorial Day weekend 2015 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. If you do see a swimmer in distress do not attempt to go in after them, or you may become an additional victim. We have seen too many cases where someone has tried to rescue a distressed swimmer and has drowned in the attempt. Especially tragic are the number of parents that have died in Ocean City while attempting to rescue their children who they have allowed to swim without lifeguards on duty. Instead, immediately call 911, know the location of the incident, follow the victim along the beach and remain on the scene until rescue personnel arrive and identify yourself to them. If the person goes under the water before rescuers arrive, it is important to mark the last seen position of the victim with a landmark on the beach to aid the rescues with the search. If the person does manage to rescue himself or herself, please let the responding personnel know that they are safely on shore. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety education feature. The beach patrol’s mission has three focuses: education, preven-

tion and intervention. Without a doubt, the most obvious and the one that attracts the most attention is intervention when one of our guards blows a whistle, jumps off the stand, runs down the beach, and then swims out to rescue a swimmer in distress. Although this happens several thousand times each season, it is not our major focus but rather it is prevention of accidents and injuries through our educational outreach efforts and programs that we make our No. 1 priority. That is why each week we use this space to try and educate all of the readers of Ocean City Today. I truly believe that through the exposure in this newspaper that many lives have been saved and will continue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on the information that they learned to others. So if you have enjoyed this column and have learned any new information about beach or water safety, not only pass it on to others but take the time to thank the editors of Ocean City Today. Have a safe fall and winter and we will see you Memorial Day Saturday 2015 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family.

Take Steps Walk For Crohn’s and Colitis, Sept. 20

Taylor Sloan Intern (Sept. 19, 2014) The Take Steps Walk For Crohn’s and Colitis will take place Saturday, Sept. 20 at Northside Park on 125th Street. The walk is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. The Take Steps Walk raises awareness and funds for Crohn’s Disease and Colitis research. It is a familyfriendly festival that brings patients, health professionals and supporters together while raising mission-critical funds for research with activities for everyone including games, music, information and food. “About 30 percent of the American population do not know what Crohn’s Disease and Colitis are,” Misty Keets, walk coordinator, said. According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), Crohn’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce mucous. “We have a number of patients in the Maryland [and] Delaware area,” Keets said. “Our chapter on the Eastern Shore is steadily growing.” The walk, previously held in Salisbury, raised a total of $34,000 last year. This year, the Maryland/Southern Delaware chapter is projecting to bring in $55,000 from the Ocean City event. Registration is available at 4 p.m. on the day of the walk. Organizers are asking for a $15 minimum donation to participate in the walk. Children 12 years old and younger can walk for free. For more information, contact Keets at 443-276-0861 ext. 2 or mkeens@ccfa.org.

Bluegrass music to fill streets of Berlin this wknd.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The 2014 Berlin Fiddler’s Convention brings three days of free, live bluegrass Sept. 1921. Local bluegrass mainstay Nate Clendenen is organizing this year’s event in downtown Berlin, featuring performances by Frank Solivan and the Dirty Kitchen, and the Wood Pickers. “I’ve had a blast competing and playing the Berlin Fiddlers Convention in the past and have always been proud to be a part of it,” he said. “Early this year I was approached by a friend who works for the Chamber See SOLIVAN Page 65

know what the cause is, but there’s a lot of inspiration from artists like the Country Gentlemen, the Seldom Scene, Emmylou Harris is from this area – there’s definitely been some really great bluegrass here in the past.” The band and the individual players in the group have earned enough accolades to fill a trophy case during the last few years, including earning a Best Bluegrass band of 2013 nod from Popmatters. “First and foremost we’re all friends,” Solivan said. “That’s kind of the underlying deal. We all care about the music and we care about how we sound, and we all believe in the music that we play. I think that’s the key component of any band to be able to play well and be successful.

Male Vocalist of the Year, Mike Munford was nominated for Banjo Player and the group received an Instrumental Band of the Year nomination. “I plan on playing a few fiddle tunes being that it’s a fiddler’s convention, but I mostly gravitate towards the mandolin these days,” Solivan said. “We play a lot of stuff off the cuff – we have some really cool arrangements, but within those arrangements there’s space to improvise and have some really cool jams and kind of let loose a little bit, which is fun.” Solivan said the Mid-Atlantic region has been a hotbed for bluegrass for as long as he can remember. “More recently there have definitely been some younger bands kind of popping up under the umbrella of bluegrass music,” he said. “I don’t

Continued from Page 64 of Commerce about coming on board to help plan the event and I was more than happy to say yes.” Clendenen called bluegrass “a music of the people.” “It’s about work and heartache and travel and celebration and love and all sorts of very human things,” he said. “It’s organic, honest and genuine. There are no special effects on the instruments – no autotune on the vocals. It’s real, authentic and one-ofa-kind – and so is the Eastern Shore.” Headliners Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen perform on Friday evening from 8-10 and Saturday morning at 11. The Washington, D.C. based band received nominations for four International Bluegrass Association awards this year. Solivan was nominated for Mandolin Player and

CHRISTOPHER TAKACS, DMD

Dr. Christopher Takacs joined Atlantic Dental Cosmetic & Family Dentistry during the summer of 2006. A Wilmington, Delaware native, Dr. Takacs studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware and graduated with his Bachelor of Science in 1998. He then went on to the University Of Kentucky College Of Dentistry to earn his DMD. Dr. Takacs has taken an interest in implant and restorative dentistry and has concentrated his continuing education in those areas. Since coming to Maryland, he has joined the Maryland State Dental Assocation, the Eastern Shore Dental Society, and continues his American Dental Association membership. Locally, he is an active member & past president of the Ocean City Lions Club and enjoys spending time with his wife, Margo, and three children, Taylor, Lewis, and Arden. Other hobbies include golfing, fishing, and oil painting.

First in the Region to Certify Therapists with Saebo Neurological Orthotic Devices For more than 700,000 stroke patients in the U.S. each year, the crippling reality of stroke is not only physical, it is all encompassing. Getting dressed, making a sandwich, brushing teeth … even the most basic task becomes a daily challenge. But, hope can be found in a new therapy provided by Peninsula Home Care. The treatment, administered by Peninsula’s certified therapists, can bring a new level of independence to stroke survivors and other neurologically impaired individuals. Now available in Delaware and this fall in Maryland, Saebo neurological orthotic devices are designed to help “re-program” the brain following a stroke or injury. The technology is proven to improve mobility in patients who have suffered debilitating conditions as far back as twenty years. “The Saebo certification allows our therapists to treat patients through exercises using innovative rehabilitation equipment in the comfort of their home, ultimately maximizing their recovery, said Sandy Russ, Peninsula Home Care branch director” Connecting Hi-Tech with Hi-Touch Saebo devices help those with little or no hand function and limited arm movement. This may include patients who have suffered from the following: stroke, brain injury, incomplete spinal cord injury, Cerebral Palsy and other neurological conditions resulting in decreased hand and arm function. The neurological orthotic devices allow patients with little residual hand function to immediately begin grasping and releasing objects in repetitive exercises. Peninsula offers therapies using six Saebo product lines. All are designed to meet specific physical mobility needs in the upper body, including fingers, hands, elbows and shoulders. “The Saebo therapy restored my spirit in so many ways, and literally put the life back in to the half of my upper body that had been silenced by stroke,” said Melessia Downham, stroke patient.

Youth, adult competitions during Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Convention Continued from Page 65 â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last handful of years the band has gotten a higher profile and has gotten a lot of attention,â&#x20AC;? Solivan continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike Munford was the Bluegrass Association Banjo Player of the Year and Chris Luquette pulled in a Momentum award for Instrumentalist of the Year (in 2013), and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up for four more awards, including Instrumental Group of the Year, which is awesome. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really stoked.â&#x20AC;? Last month was a bittersweet one for Solivan. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cold Spellâ&#x20AC;? came out in August and the band were prepping for a national tour running from Washington, D.C. to California. Solivan was struck by a family tragedy days before the tour started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tour was right after my mom died,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She died just a little over a month ago, so I went on this national tour and just really put my heart and soul into it like she would have wanted me to, I suppose. We got onstage and wore our hearts on our sleeves and just raged. It was a tough tour and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a little tough, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping me busy and keeping my mind occupied.â&#x20AC;? Solivan said the most important part of any show is finding a way to connect to the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do wear your heart on your sleeve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sharing an emotional moment with someone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I feel like music kind of brings people together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to connect to it someway and relate the music that we play with their own lives and feel some kind of emotional response, then our job has been done. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key to any performance, I think.â&#x20AC;? The Wood Pickers, who won the band competition during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Convention, open the festival at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m. Fiddle player Melissa Adams said the group was happy to win, but that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we just like have fun playing our music.â&#x20AC;? The Gaithersburg-based band, who won the competition as a threepiece, will bring a few friends along for the ride during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing a few extra people from another band that we play in,â&#x20AC;? Adams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a mix of bluegrass and a few country songs and a few Celtic songs. We have a few original songs weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be playing, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also play a few contemporary songs to show how you can take a modern rock song and make it bluegrass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want everyone to have fun with the music,â&#x20AC;? Adams continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played to a lot of big crowds, but this is definitely one of the biggest that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

Youth and adult competitions begin on Saturday at noon in categories including Best Band, Fiddle, Banjo, Guitar and Mandolin. The winning band earns a spot as the opening act at the 23rd Annual Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Convention. Clendenen said musicians are traveling from as far away as Utah to take part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings other musicians together to play and learn from each other,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings spectators together to watch and listen to it happen. Most importantly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be able to have an event like this that people care so much about.â&#x20AC;? The festival concludes on Sunday at noon with the Bluegrass Gospel Jam on the lawn of the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus is on the great music, but there will be a bunch of tasty food from the area restaurants, all the cool Berlin shops will be open, craft vendors, kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities, etc.,â&#x20AC;? Clendenen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I can speak for Elaine, Tom, Michael, and all the other folks that have been working to get this event together. We just want folks to have fun, and it will be a blast.â&#x20AC;? For more information visit www.berlinchamber.org/fiddlersconvention.

Sunfest Sidewalk Sale at WOC mall

(Sept. 19, 2014) White Marlin Mall will hold its annual Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale next weekend, at the mall located in West Ocean City. This time of year, White Marlin Mall merchants make room for their fall and winter inventory by moving much of their discounted summer merchandise out to the sidewalk. Shoppers will have the opportunity to browse through the racks and shelves to find bargains. “Our annual three-day fall sale is scheduled to run all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Sept.19-20-21 until regular close of business at participating merchants,” said Matt Mittenthal, vice-president and assistant director of asset management at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, the mall’s leasing and property management firm. “Participating White Marlin Mall merchants will display their merchandise on the sidewalk areas directly in front of their stores.” White Marlin Mall features spacious free parking, a fresh open-air atmosphere, and a variety of afterseason specials. “The Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale will feature deep discounts on shopper’s favorite electronics, gifts, toys, paper goods, clothing, shoes, home accessories and more,” Mittenthal said. “This long-standing tradition in

West Ocean City gives guests a great way to see the best of what the White Marlin Mall merchants have to offer. And while family members shop, they will also have the opportunity to dine at a variety of highly-rated fast-service restaurants.” Additional savings can also be found inside each of the mall’s stores. “The White Marlin Mall Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale gives shoppers an opportunity to find a wide range of values during Sunfest weekend,” Mittenthal said. “There’s no better way to see the best of what White Marlin Mall merchants have to offer.” In addition to the Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale, those who visit White Marlin Mall can look forward to special savings on Columbus Day Weekend, participate in Halloween Trick-or-Treat, and enjoy the annual visit by Santa Claus to White Marlin Mall during the holiday season. “As in the past, our Sunfest Sidewalk Sale coincides with Ocean City Sunfest,” Mittenthal said. “Like Sunfest itself, it is our celebration of the passing of the summer season and the kick off to all our fall and winter events at White Marlin Mall.” Built in 1987, White Marlin Mall with its 200,000 square-feet of retail shops is located adjacent to the

180,000 square-foot Ocean City Tanger Outlets. When both facilities are combined, they comprise the largest shopping center complex in the greater Ocean City area. In 2003, Greenberg Gibbons Commercial initiated an extensive renovation and re-tenanting program that successfully attracted new tenants such as Marshalls and Staples. An additional renovation and expansion took place in 2008 with the addition of four major establishments — Bed Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, PetCo and Michaels. White Marlin Mall is in West Ocean City, a half-mile past the bridge on Route 50 at Route 611 on the north side of the highway next to the Ocean City Tanger Outlets. White Marlin Mall stores are Marshalls, Dressbarn, Dunkin’ Donuts, Five Guys, Park Place Jewelers, Staples Office Supplies Superstore, Dollar Tree, RadioShack, PetCo, Farmers Bank of Willards, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, FiveBelow, Cutting Crew, Jiffy Lube, Wendy’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, AT&T store, and Pier 1 Imports, Michaels Crafts, Bath and Body Works, Sleepy’s, Wockenfuss Candy/US Postal Service branch, Hallmark/News Center, GameStop and Nice Nails Salon.

Sept. 19 final day of annual Sand Castle Home Tour

(Sept. 19, 2014) Want an insider’s look at some of the area’s coolest houses? Like to decorate or looking for new ideas for your own home? Want to spend a fun day and kick off Sunfest weekend while supporting the local arts community? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the Art League of Ocean City has a fun adventure for you. The 10th anniversary Sand Castle Home Tour kicked off Thursday and runs today, Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. where participants can visit the homes and gardens of some of the area’s most interesting addresses. Included on this year’s tour will be 11 special residences in Ocean City, West Ocean City and Berlin. Homeowners – who have graciously opened their homes for the tour to benefit the Art League of Ocean City and the arts in the Ocean City area – have been busy putting the finishing touches on their homes and gardens the last several weeks so all is ship-shape for the 1,000-plus visitors who take the opportunity every year, often arm-in-arm with family and friends, to spend an autumn day out and about at homes by See PARTICIPANTS Page 69

Participants can tour 11 homes in OC, Berlin, WOC Continued from Page 68 the sea, in town and in the surrounding countryside. Homes on this year’s tour include the Ocean City residences of Kim and Mark Picone, Juan and Kelly Franzetti, Peck and Patti Miller, Marie Karl, Suzanne Glover, Chris and Marilyn Spendley and Palmer and Sandy Gillis. West Ocean City homes on the tour are those of Kathy and Mark Clark and John Meyers. Berlin homes are those of Maury Wimbrow and Susan Ayers Wimbrow and Bill and Kristine Hudson. “It takes about 300 volunteer docents to make this event the success it is every year, said Event Volunteer Coordinator, Phaedra Brown. Volunteer docents are from the Art League, local real estate companies, community organizations, church groups, and a cadre of individuals who love the opportunity to serve as ambassadors for the arts. The annual home tour is a major fundraiser for the Art League and docents “are the integral piece that makes sure our

tour visitors move through the houses smoothly and are able to see and enjoy all the fine features these beautiful homes have to offer,” Brown said. “It’s a great way to support the Ocean City Center for the Arts and the Art League and we salute all of our volunteers for the great job they do as ambassadors of the Art League and Ocean City,” she added. Tickets cost $30 each and include a tour book with detailed information on all the homes, driving directions, and special offers by tour sponsors and advertisers. The book serves as the entrance ticket to the 11 homes on the tour. For tickets and more information, go online at www.artleagueofoceancity.com, call 410-524-9433 or visit the Art League headquarters on 94th Street, bayside, at the Ocean City Center for the Arts.

Delmarva Power warns of ‘Green Dot’ scam (Sept. 19, 2014) Delmarva Power reminds home and business owners to practice safety when someone claiming to represent a business contact them either in person or by telephone. Delmarva Power has been alerted to a resurgence of the “Green Dot” scam. As in previous cases, “scammers” are telling residential customers and business owners that their electric service account is delinquent and they will be shut-off for

non-payment, unless customers purchase a “Green Dot Money Pack” for a specific amount dictated by the “scammer” from stores including CVS, Rite Aid and WaWa. The latest information from law enforcement officials is that in an attempt to make their scam believable, the scammers use a “shadow” or phony “866” call back phone number. When customers call the shadow or phony number, the “scammers” answer claiming to be representatives of

Commissioners will hear concerns on hazard plan (Sept. 19, 2014) The Worcester County Commissioners will conduct a public hearing, Tuesday, Oct.7, at 11 a.m. in the Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill to receive public comment on the 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. All interested citizens are encouraged to attend the hearing and express their views on these matters. Copies of the draft 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update are available for viewing at www.co.worcester.md.us/EmergencyServices/emerservindex prior to the hearing.

The Hazard Mitigation Plan, originally adopted in 2006, is designed to evaluate and provide proactive strategies to potential natural hazards. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) mandate that each local jurisdiction prepare and adopt a hazard mitigation plan. The Town of Ocean City, which adopts its own plan, is not included in the draft 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Decatur cross country teams win first meet of 2014

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Stephen Decatur junior Drew Baker takes the ball up the field during Monday's game against Mardela in Berlin. Decatur won the competition, 2-0.

Seahawks prevail in physical battle with Warriors, 2-0

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) The boys’ soccer match between Stephen Decatur and the Mardela Warriors was a physical battle, but after some line-up adjustments, the Seahawks prevailed, winning on their home field, 2-0. “It was a tale of two halves. It seems to take us a half to get going,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. The game on Monday was scoreless at halftime. Greenwood said he and Assistant Coach Mike Cericola, who watched the first half from the stands, noticed some things that needed to be changed. During the halftime talk, Greenwood said the coaches discuss players’ roles, how the boys need to communicate better and pass the ball to space. “We made changes in all aspects of the field. We put a different line-up together for the second half,” Greenwood said. “I think the puzzle pieces are finally coming together.” The biggest move, Greenwood

said, was dropping senior captain Evan Heim back from the forward to midfield line. “He and [sophomore captain] Alton [Walker] are key together,” Greenwood said. “In the second half we generated so much more offense.” With about 23 minutes remaining in the game, Walker’s corner kick floated to the center of the goal and junior Jack Hammond headed the ball past the Mardela keeper. With about 11 and a half minutes

on the clock, Heim beat the Mardela goalie to a loose ball and scored to give Decatur a two-goal cushion. The Warriors had a few offensive opportunities, but Decatur senior goalkeeper Sean Colgan stopped them. He recorded nine saves. “I thought we definitely moved the ball much better and communicated much better in the second half,” Greenwood said. Decatur will host the Crisfield Crabbers on Monday at 5:30 p.m.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) Stephen Decatur’s cross country teams won the first meet of the season last Wednesday, which took place on their home course in Berlin. “I thought that both teams did a good job and ran well for the most part…Conditions were warm and humid, which can sometimes have a negative effect on times, especially in distance races, but our runners seemed to handle themselves well,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. The Lady Seahawks dominated the five-school meet as the first six runners to cross the finish line were Decatur athletes. The top five finishers from each school score points for their respective teams. Leading the pack for Decatur was senior Jenna Reimer (21:56). Following her in second through fifth place was junior Rachel Savage (24:22), sophomore Peyton Dunham (24:43), senior Meya Chilengi (25:22) and sophomore Rose Billings (25:24). Junior Alison Alvarado was the sixth Seahawk to complete the race (25:27). Decatur won the competition with 15 points. North Dorchester was second with 56 points and Snow Hill took third (73). “The girls had a strong day, placing eight in the top 10…15 points is the best score that a team can achieve in a cross country meet, meaning that our girls who scored came in the highest positions possible,” Stigler said. “Individually, Jenna Reimer was the standout performer with a time of 21:56, which is very fast on the ‘Mt. Decatur’ course and was three seconds shy of the school record. In general, I expected a strong showing from our girls, but this is the first time that I have seen a score of 15 in a cross country meet. They definitely happen, but are rare.” Senior Jake Gaddis led the Decatur boys’ team to victory. He crossed the finish line second overall (20:11). Also contributing to the win was freshman Jack Reimer (fourth, 20:52), sophomore Jared Massey (sixth, 21:30), freshman Matt Alvarado (seventh, 21:37) and senior Parker Harrington (eighth, 21:50). “I was impressed with our first four boys and thought that all ran well. Jack Reimer and Matt Alvarado are both freshmen, so they definitely have a lot of room to improve,” Stigler said. “Jake Gaddis finished second, which I thought was a good showing. We had five boys in the top eight, which is pretty good.” See DECATUR Page 80

Parkside finished second with 52 points and North Dorchester placed third (74). “I thought that [it] was a good meet to start off our season on the right foot and build some confidence,” Stigler said. “Our goal, as always, is to improve every day, every practice and every meet. Of course we want to win every meet and it was a good result, but it is important to realize that it is only the first meet and I try to not read too much into the results. We do not want to peak during the beginning of the season.…I think that we are off to a good start, so far, but we still have a lot of work to do.” Decatur is scheduled to compete in the 63rd annual Spiked Shoe XC Invitational at Johns Hopkins University on Saturday. “This meet is run on a hilly course against very tough competition,” Stigler said. “I am really looking forward to this meet because it will see us face some of the strongest competition in the state.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) Stephen Decatur and the Worcester Prep Lady Mallards met on the Seahawks’ volleyball court in Berlin Monday for competition. The first game was a back-andfourth battle, but Decatur, a public school of the Bayside Conference, came out on top, 25-21, over Worcester, a private school that participates in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference. The second game was also close, but the Seahawks took it, 25-18. Decatur maintained a steady lead in the third game and went on to win, 25-14. Since Decatur had its schedule set for this season with conference opponents, the match counted as a scrimmage for the Seahawks. Worcester had a spot open for Decatur on its schedule so it counted as a regularseason match for the Mallards. “The scrimmage came at a perfect time because we had an injury in our last game…we had to do a lot of flipping around so this was really good practice for them to try out their new positions,” said Decatur Coach Sarah Purnell. Junior Hannah Saulsbury tore a ligament in her ankle last Thursday during Decatur’s game against Kent Island. “I think that they still have a little bit to work on. They need to get used to their new positions,” Purnell said. “I thought their passing was a lot better, their setting looked good and when that happens then we usually get good kills.” Decatur senior captain Hannah Adkins had five kills. Marina Jones, a senior, contributed with three kills and two blocks. Senior setter Haley Trice tallied 11 assists. For Worcester, junior Bridget Brown logged 12 digs, four kills, one block and an ace. Setter Cecily Sass, a senior captain, had three kills, nine digs and five assists. Senior captain Mattie Maull chipped in with 10 digs, six kills and two blocks. “The first game was definitely our best game. I always say volleyball’s a game of momentum and a couple times we got a lot of momentum,” said Prep Coach Kristin Jehle. “We had a few lulls in the second and third games where Decatur had the momentum and we weren’t talking and communicating like we’re supposed to. We just had a couple little errors here and there…I saw some good things, but there’s definitely things we can work on like getting off the net for free balls and communicating, but every time I watch them play they’re getting better and better.” The Mallards next match is today, Friday, against Salisbury Christian at 4 p.m. in Berlin. The Seahawks have an away game on Tuesday at 4 p.m. against North Dorchester.

Decatur fights, but lead too big to overcome

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) The Stephen Decatur football team chipped away at the Queen Anne’s Lions’ lead late in the game, but the deficit was too much for the visiting Seahawks to come back from. “No. 1. We didn’t quit. No. 2. We had some lapses where we didn’t play well and we disappeared,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox after the Seahawks’ 56-41 loss. Decatur struck first last Friday in Centreville. From 12 yards out, senior

quarterback Justin Meekins threw to Sam Coates, a senior, for the touchdown. The Lions pulled ahead 8-7 then 157 with about four minutes remaining in the first quarter. Just before the end of the quarter, Meekins rushed 20 yards and scored. The extra-point kick was blocked. Junior Dryden Brous gave Decatur a 19-15 lead with an 82-yard run to start the second quarter. The PAT was again blocked. The home team scored three times in the second quarter to go into half-

time on top, 36-19. “We were up 19-15, then we had some lapses and made some mistakes and we blinked and they were ahead, 36-19,” Knox said. Queen Anne’s increased its advantage to 42-19 in the third quarter. About three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lions tacked on seven additional points to lead, 49-19. Meekins got the Decatur offense going again, scoring on a 58-yard run. The two-point conversion was successful with just under seven minutes to play.

Queen Anne’s jumped in front 5627 minutes later, but Decatur continued to fight. Meekins hit senior Matt LeCompte with a 23-yard pass for a touchdown and the Seahawks capitalized on the two-point conversion attempt. Sophomore Dontae Baines scored to cut the Lions’ lead to 15, but it was the last time Decatur would put points on the board. “They’ve got to be focused enough to play 48 minutes and the defense has to tackle better,” Knox said. “We have a lot of young kids and they’ve had See CAMBRIDGE Page 82

It was text book soccer,” Hartnett said. “We were taking shot after shot.” At the end of the first half, Worcester led, 3-1. Salisbury scored on a direct kick in the second half to cut the advantage to one. Coutu netted a penalty shot and the Mallards knocked in two additional goals. Dickson tallied two goals for the Prep squad and Bescak logged one goal and two assists. Issel and sophomore Karlie Southcomb (one assist) each chipped in with a goal. Tunis recorded five saves. “They’re a good team and they kept coming at us,” Hartnett said. “We notoriously have trouble scoring against them, but we did find the back of the net. We’ve been stuck at two, three goals so it was nice to break that.” Worcester will go head-to-head with its Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference nemesis, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin. “We need to be consistent from the goalie all the way up the field,” Hartnett said. “If we play our game, keep our shape and space and our hustle, we’ll do just fine.”

Decatur golf team wins match, WP finishes second By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) Golfers representing Worcester Prep, a private school whose sports teams participate in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, join the public schools of the Bayside Conference twice a season for competition. Last Thursday the Worcester Prep Mallards met eight Bayside schools at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course in Berlin for a match. The Stephen Decatur Seahawks earned first-place honors with a score of 167. Worcester Prep was second with a 176. James M. Bennett finished in third place with a 183. Sophomore Matt Kristick led De-

catur to victory, shooting a 38. Also contributing was senior Brooks Holloway (41), freshman Matt Kinsey (43) and senior Delaney Iacona (45). “Even though we just won our third match of the year and remain undefeated, the players are not showcasing their ‘A’ games,” Decatur Coach Jim Krall said. “They all have something to prove, and I know they’re chomping at the bit for that moment. I foresee them improving with each subsequent match, figuring out what is holding them back, and soon unleashing the pure talent each one possesses.” Worcester Prep senior Rylie Doyle carded a 39. She finished fourth overall out of 41 golfers and had the lowest See DAILEY Page 83

Five minutes into the game, sophomore Madison Bescak put Worcester on top, 1-0. Six minutes later, freshman Kaylee Dickson boosted the Mallards’ advantage to two goals. The visiting Herons cut the lead to one, but junior Laura Issel gave her team a 3-1 lead. With 25 minutes left in the match, sophomore Maggie Coutu netted a direct kick and the Prep squad was ahead 4-1. “Our spacing and passing were good. We did not communicate the way I would like them to on the field,” Hartnett said. Junior Grace Tunis played in goal in the first half for Worcester. Senior Mikalah Potvin took over in the second half. She made one save. The Mallards battled the Salisbury Christian Jaguars on Tuesday and came home with a 6-2 victory. “The first 15 minutes was so good.

Brous ran the ball six times, tallying 99 yards.

LeCompte caught three passes for 42 yards. The Decatur defense was led by Brous and juniors Gus Esham and Ernest Shockley. The Cambridge Vikings will come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 6 p.m. match-up with Decatur. “They’re very athletic and very fast,” Knox said. “We’ve got to play for four quarters and we’ve got to be physical.”

Also helping the squad score a second-place finish were juniors Jason Cook (41) and John Meakin (46) and senior Derek Wilgus (50). “The Bayside matches are our toughest competition. We came in second behind a tough Stephen Decatur team by nine shots,” said Worcester Coach Scot Dailey. “I was really proud of our kids as it was our first tough match of the season. We are really working hard to be as competitive and consistent as our rivals from Decatur. I was impressed by Doyle’s leadership and no fear attitude out on the links… as a program we are heading in the right direction as the kids are pushing each other to be better in competition.” The Mallards next match is Wednesday, Sept. 24, the ESIAC championships. Decatur competed on Tuesday at Nassawango Golf Course in Snow Hill. The Seahawks took first place with a

175. Parkside was second with a 190. Holloway earned co-medalist honors with Washington’s Jordan Culotta. Both shot 39s. “Brooks remained poised and focused throughout the round and scored very well on the challenging Nassawango Golf Course,” Krall said. “Coach [Don] Furbay and I are proud of him for earning medalist honors on the day.” Kristick carded a 42, Iacona tallied a 45 and Kinsey logged a 49. “It’s the ability to remain calm and relaxed throughout the round that benefitted [Holloway]; the other players are lacking that mental aspect right now,” Krall said. “They all want to be the No. 1 player on the team and in the conference. Each one of them has the ability, but they’re forcing shots and making silly errors that’s costing them strokes. Having five very talented players on the same team can be a curse if they’re each trying to be a hero and outdo the others.” Decatur’s next match is Tuesday at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team Coach Terry Underkoffler was pleased with the way the Mallards controlled the ball in their 8-1 victory last Friday over the Gunston Day Herons. “I thought they had pretty good possession of the ball,” he said after the game in Berlin. “The system we’re trying to do, we’re trying to spread the other team out and play the ball wide to our midfielders. The goal was to try and get the ball up to our forwards; combine a forward with an outside midfielder.” Seven minutes into the game, sophomore captain Owen Nally gave Worcester a 1-0 lead. Aria ZiaShakeri, a sophomore, boosted the advantage to two at the 25-minute mark. Two minutes later, Nally netted his second shot of the half. Sophomore Tate Shockley, freshman Brendan Miller and junior Elio Telo each scored a goal and the Mallards went into the halftime break ahead, 6-0. Miller and senior Chris Choy increased the home team’s lead to eight in the second half. Gunston scored its lone goal late in the match. Worcester goalie Charlie Pritchard, a junior, stopped six Herons’ shots. On Monday in Georgetown, Del., the

Mallards shut out the Delmarva Christian Royals, 6-0. Miller led the charge with four goals. “He had a really good game. We found him behind the defense a lot,” Underkoffler said of Miller. “He knows what kind of shots to take in different situations.” Miller’s hat trick provided the Mallards with a three-goal cushion at the end of the first half. Nally tallied the Prep team’s fourth goal in the second half and Miller knocked in the fifth. Shockley scored the visiting Mallards’ sixth and final goal. Pritchard made five saves. “We were patient, which was really good,” Underkoffler said. Delmarva Christian’s defense played high, trying to trap Worcester’s offense offsides, Underkoffler said. I give a lot of credit to my guys. They worked the ball, they played keep away and when we got the chance we played the ball through,” he said. “We had some nice play combinations.” Defensively, Underkoffler said captains Sam Deeley, a senior, and Wyatt Richins, a junior, stopped any offensive attack from the Royals. The Mallards will host Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Salisbury Christian Jaguars, at 4 p.m. today, Friday.

WP Lady Mallards shut out Herons, 8-0, Royals, 15-0 By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) The Worcester Prep field hockey team netted a total of 23 goals and held the Gunston Day Herons and Delmarva Christian Royals scoreless in their match-ups this past week. Last Friday in Berlin, the Lady Mallards led 3-0 at halftime with goals provided by senior captains Jordie Loomis and Caroline Lindsay and sophomore Eva Parks. Sophomore Regan Lingo netted two goals in the second half and Loomis, sophomore Leigh Lingo and senior captain Natalie Twilley contributed with one each in the 8-0 shutout. Sophomore Stormy McGuiness played in goal the first half for Worcester. Freshman Grace Nichols took over for the second half. Neither was challenged. “Our passing game was a whole lot better. They did a good job cutting, going to the open space, we used the back field more…our execution on our corners has also improved. Our timing is so much better,” said Prep Coach

Jenny Frostrom. “Overall, I’m pleased with the progress that we’ve made. We do have quite a few young players and I do see a lot of growth in all of them… We’ve still got a ways to go, but improvement is all you can ask for and I see that so I’m happy.” Added Loomis, “When we first started we were just getting to know each other because we had a bunch of new girls on our team, but now we’ve definitely started to click.” On Monday, the Prep team dominated Delmarva Christian in Georgetown, Del. The Mallards won the contest, 15-0. Loomis and freshman Mia Meacci each scored twice in the first half. Regan Lingo and Parks chipped in with one goal each as the Mallards went into the halftime break ahead, 6-0. Meacci, Parks and senior Carolyn Dorey tallied two goals apiece in the second half. Lindsay, sophomore Macayla Costleigh and Nichols netted one goal each.

Worcester Prep freshman Mia Meacci battles a Gunston Day player for the ball during last Friday's match in Berlin. Worcester earned an 8-0 shutout.

Loomis and Meacci also contributed with two assists and Lindsay had one. Frostrom gave her six freshmen an ample amount of playing time. She put other players in different positions from their usual spots. McGuiness and Nichols shared time in the goal, but they did not see any action. “It was a good opportunity for the

freshmen to play a complete game and gain varsity game experience,” Frostrom said. “They did well. They were trying to implement the things we’ve been working on in practice.” The Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, the Mallards’ biggest Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, will travel to Berlin today, Friday, to face Worcester at 4 p.m.

Lady Seahawks earn 8-0 win over Mardela Warriors By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 19, 2014) Racing to a 4-0 first-half lead, the Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team went on to earn an 80 victory over the visiting Mardela Warriors on Tuesday. Senior captain Jillian Petito (two assists) scored three of those first-half goals. Senior captain Payton VanKirk and sophomore Lexie VanKirk tallied a goal and an assist each. Juniors Peyton Townsend and Alexis McDonough and

sophomore Brigitte Ardis contributed with one goal apiece. Decatur goalie Lexi Gausepohl, a junior, stopped five shots. “The girls played well,” said Decatur Coach Maggie Berke. “They’re passing has definitely improved. They were passing to feet today.” Maggie Berke Decatur is scheduled to travel to Salisbury to play the James M. Bennett Clippers on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Angela Houck, owner and trainer at The Pole Power Studio, stands in her new space in the Herring Creek Professional Center on Route 50, where she has nine poles and new aerial equipment for classes.

Pole Power Studio offers new exercise options for women

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) The Pole Power Studio is back in the Herring Creek Professional Center, on Route 50, putting a new spin on fitness. Owner Angela Houck made the move from West Ocean City Fitness Labor Day weekend, bringing nine poles and new aerial silks and Fly Gyms to the ladies-only studio. “I like to call it an aerial playground,” said the master trainer for pole. A former nurse, Houck discovered her favorite workout in 2007, when she tried a pole class for the first time. “I was just looking to try something new and different to get back in shape,” she said. “I took a pole class and fell in love with it.” As she puts it, the class is a head-totoe workout combining elements from Pilates, yoga and dance. “I’ve tried many, many classes and a lot of times I felt like I was doing the same thing,” she said. But “pole has never been boring. It’s always challenging.”

CLARA VAUGHN/OCEAN CITY TODAY

The Pole Power Studio in the Herring Creek Professional Center in West Ocean City has nine poles and space to add its new aerial silks and Fly Gyms for its ladies-only classes.

Whether it’s personal training on the aerial silks or a bachelorette or birthday party, all of Houck’s clients start “grounded,” she said. They gradually move off the floor and to the pole, silks or Fly Gym — not an easy task since it requires lifting your own body weight. “That’s what’s unique about aerial,” Houck said. “You utilize your body differently.” Whether they are 18 or 80 years old, most new customers arrive anxious

about the workout, she said. “Everybody comes in and thinks, ‘There’s no way I can do that,’ and when they do, it’s really exciting,” she said. “They feel strong physical, but mentally as well. They build confidence.” Group classes of up to nine women (one per pole) help clients build friendships, too, as they advance through the stages together. That’s where the name ‘Pole Power’ See POLE Page 87

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 19, 2014) In a recent article, the programs available through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s (DHCD) were summarized including the Maryland Mortgage Program, Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance, and the HomeCredit program. We briefly touched on the HomeCredit program, but it is such an important new feature being offered by the state of Maryland, this article focuses on it specifically. The MD HomeCredit program offers a tax credit that can help homeowners lower their federal taxes every year, for the life of the loan. This program was just released in 2014, and it can save a homebuyer tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a home loan. Most homeowners are aware of the mortgage interest deduction, where a homeowner can claim the interest paid on their mortgage each year on their federal taxes. But, the MD HomeCredit Program is different in that it provides a federal “tax credit” to eligible homebuyers. The difference is that the mortgage interest deduction provides a deduction that reduces the homeowner’s taxable income, whereas the tax credit provides the homeowner with a reduction in their actual federal tax liability (or taxes owed). The value of the federal tax credit that can be claimed annually is equal to 25 percent of the value of mortgage interest payments, up to $2,000 annually. For instance, if you pay $6,000 in mortgage interest in a year, you will be able to take a $1,500 tax credit off your federal tax liability. This credit is for the life of the loan (until payoff, sale, refinance or transfer of ownership). This tax credit program is not available if you already own your home, or are refinancing. Only new purchases would qualify, and interested homebuyers must apply through an approved mortgage lender who will confirm the borrowers’ eligibility for the program and then submit an application to the DHCD. To be eligible, you must meet the same income limits and home purchase price limits as the Maryland Mortgage See TAX Page 87

Think pink with Tanger; fight breast cancer PinkSTYLE effort provides shoppers ways to save while supporting cause

(Sept. 19, 2014) In support of the ongoing efforts to end breast cancer, Tanger Outlets Ocean City invites its customers to “think pink” this fall during the 21st annual Tanger PinkSTYLE campaign. Through Oct. 25, the Tanger PinkSTYLE campaign will take place at Tanger Outlets in Ocean City. Shoppers

can purchase Pink Card Savings Packs, five for $5, and save 25 percent on a single item at participating stores. Customers can purchase as many Pink Card Savings Packs as they like from Tanger Shopper Services. Proceeds from Pink Card Savings Packs will benefit Women Supporting Women and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “We are proud to join with our customers and tenants at our centers across the U.S. and Canada to bring awareness and raise much needed funds for breast cancer research and

prevention,” said Steven B. Tanger, president and chief executive officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. “We remain committed to supporting these important organizations that are helping further educate women on prevention and hopefully will find a cure to a disease that has affected so many women and families.” In 2014, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 295,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. More than 800 women are diagnosed each

Next vehicle group coming to OC Continued from Page 27 this number come to the resort, but never actually go though the exhibits at Fort Whaley. Instead, for days leading up to the weekend, private VW clubs and promoters hold their own get-togethers and parties in the resort, often in vacant or unused parking lots and without the owner’s permission. “I may see these events when they’re posted on social media, but outside of Fort Whaley, I’m not involved,” Shoup said. “There are a lot of them, though.” This year, the Ocean City Police Department has solicited property owners for the Trespass Enforcement Authorization Program – or TEAP – in which owners sign an affidavit giving officers pre-authorization to go onto their private property and enforce trespass laws if they have reasonable suspicion that unauthorized

activity is occurring. The OCPD has also increased its traffic enforcement massively. According to department data, officers conducted 1,245 traffic stops from Thursday, Sept. 26 to Sunday, Sept. 29 for the 2013 H2Oi. This is 62.5 percent more traffic enforcement than the 766 stops done over the same span in 2012. Another issue which H2Oi participants are often warned about is “camber,” refers to the angle of a vehicle’s tires relative to a perfect vertical plane. Most cars, with their suspension at rest, have no perceptible camber angle. But installing shorter shock absorbers in a car not made for them will pivot the wheels up via the joints that connect them to the vehicle’s axle, creating what is known as “negative camber.” Maryland law prohibits what it refers to as “excessive camber,” some-

thing which is plainly visible when traveling behind a car whose tires appear to be flared out at an extreme angle. This The OCPD has been known to stop vehicles and have them towed back to the owner’s hotel if their camber makes them unsafe for the road. Although the majority of VWs congregating along Coastal Highway this coming week will likely be impromptu or underground affairs, an increasing number of businesses actively host VW events. The 45th Street Village, for instance, hired private security to work a number of mini-shows last year. Further, Shoup noted, he has been contacted by a number of resort hotels to offer package deals to show-goers. “We got asked this year by Harrison Group to start working with them as far as something mutually beneficial,” Shoup said.

OUR OPINION

Missing Margaret already

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas announced this week that she will not be seeking a third term this November. She will be sorely missed. In fact, it’s quite fitting that Pillas announced her retirement on the day of the groundbreaking for the new Ocean City Beach Patrol headquarters. No matter what other elected officials may opine, Pillas is the one who deserves much of the credit for the project finally happening. After all, the mayor and council had two decades to erect a new headquarters, but failed to act until the dilapidated state of the structure became publicly evident and Pillas insisted that something be done. It was during that 20-year period before Pillas’ arrival that elected officials focused on increasing the city payroll, rather than capital expenditures, as local government’s operating budget grew from $30 million in 1991 to more than $73 million in 2011. That led to what Pillas says was the most important thing she did as a council member: work to reform employee pay and benefits. To say that effort was unpopular both inside and outside City Hall would be a gross understatement. But imagine if the city’s recent budget struggles with employee raises had been done under the old salary scales and benefit packages. The city would be scrambling for more than new parking meters, and the OCBP would be the last thing on anyone’s mind, at least financially. Pillas saw the writing on the wall long before anyone else and was willing to put her ego aside in order to address it. If Margaret Pillas leaving the council doesn’t bother you, then you haven’t been paying attention. Meanwhile, you also aren’t paying the taxes that might have been.

THE PUBLIC EYE

We were just talking summer EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

By Phil Jacobs

Early last spring, when it was still chilly enough to require sweaters, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan and I sat in his office and talked together, almost yearning for Memorial Day. Flash forward, and I’m sitting in his office again and we’re both wondering out loud, “where did the summer go to so quickly?” That’s when the mayor took me from his office into the corridor to the Sunfest timeline. The four-day event, which started yesterday (Thursday) will run through Sunday, giving us all a needed transition from the season to the off-season. And according to the mayor and Susan Petito, the Director of Ocean City Parks & Recreation, 40 years ago town members wanted to celebrate a successful summer season. So hundreds gathered at a 7th street near the beach parking lot where they cooked up some hot dogs, oyster fritters and funnel cakes. Well it caught on. And it even got its first name, “Save Six for September.” The idea, the mayor said, was to extend the Labor Day week and thus the summer. The event moved to more spacious grounds at Trimper’s and then in 1981 was shifted to its current inlet site. Both the mayor and Petito said that for many years an OC resident named Pete Richardson chaired the event for 16 years. He was known around town as “Mr. Sunfest.” In the mid-1990s, Parks & Rec took over as a special event. “Sunfest is a success in so many ways,” said the Mayor. “People who attend know that there’s life after Labor Day in Ocean City.”

Now hundreds of thousands attend, and hopefully the weather will be perfect and the water warm. One secret that is not such as secret any longer is that fall weather here is possibly the best of the year. “Businesses are staying open longer,” said the Mayor. “Basically everything is open. A lot of non-resident property owners pick this week to come here. For others, hotel/motel rates are often reduced. It’s a quieter time. It’s more of an adult crowd.” The mayor’s first Sunfest? That would be 1975 when it was still “Save Six for September.” He’ll be out there in force this weekend helping out with the Delmarva Irish American Club’s beer truck. But that won’t come until after opening ceremonies and the Boardwalk train ride that he’s been riding since 1985, his first year as a City Councilman. Petito said that Sunfest “became more of an event for many to come to Ocean City, because it was a quieter season. It has become a celebration of a second season. Plus, it’s such a great time of year. We have made over the years quality tweaks and modifications while we grew the event.” So much so that Sunfest was named the top of 200 best shows in 2014 by Sunshine Artist Magazine’s yearly 200 best shows list. It won for “traditional arts and crafts shows in the nation.” Petito added that over the years the quality of Sunfest’s entertainment list has markedly improved. “We have learned that everything we do with Sunfest is fun,” she said. “Every day is a new challenge. Our staff works non stop.” Sometime during the coming one or two non-seasonal months, I’m sure I’ll be back in Mayor Meehan’s office, probably to disSee SUNFEST Page 101

By Stewart Dobson Publisher Being of Scottish descent, I am of two minds about this week’s vote over in that land of clans whether to dissolve its association with Great Britain and to go its own way or to continue as a part of that union and grumble about it. Although the vote will have taken place by the time this is published, I can see both sides of the debate. I am, for instance, in favor of reducing the number of people who can boss you around. I have always resisted being told what to do, although it is doubtful that Scotland would come home late to Great Britain and be told, “Your dinner is in the oven … oh wait, no it’s not because apparently you don’t live here.’’ Then there is the business of Scotch Whiskey, a commodity in which I have been known to invest. There has been speculation that some distilleries would have to close in an uncertain economy and that could cause the surviving companies to increase their prices. In that the over-consumption of Scotch can lead to wee problems, depending on how wee a wee dram might be, it occurs to me that the price of being a wee bit stupid could be greater than wee, since if you’re asked at home where all your money went you would have to say, “I just weed it away.” With just these things in mind, were I to get a vote on Scottish independence, I would come down on the side of the nationalists. But then, there is one other thing to consider. I am not sure that I like the international consequences of a successful vote for independence and the subsequent contraction of Great Britain. Somehow, in the course of multinational negotiations, it just wouldn’t carry the same weight if you said, “And on this we have the full support of our closest ally, Medium Britain.”

Letters Concerns about Common Core

Editor, This letter is in regard to Common Core and is directed toward teachers, parents, school board members, local politicians, all media and concerned citizens throughout America. I think each of you should Google a research article: “The real history of Common Core: Black helicopters” all over the place, written by Danette Clark before you accept this curriculum. Danette is a mom, former paralegal, a business operator, researcher and writer. In the article you’ll see names, some you’re familiar with like: Bill Gates, (former President) George H. Bush, James B. Hunt, George Soros, Bill Ayers and President Barack Obama. Once you understand the purpose behind this program and how the U.S. Department of Education, through the offer of money, managed to get 48 state boards of education to accept this untested, unproven concept of education, will you still be willing to accept this approach to the education of the children? It’s a question each of you will have to answer. I hope, if you decide against it, you’ll take a stand against the government in our schools and your state boards of education for their willingness to accept the program. Paul St. Andre Ocean City

Considering state of Maryland affairs

Editor, Let’s consider the state of affairs of Maryland. Gov. [Martin] O’Malley has shown that his philosophy of big government has turned Ehrlich’s billion dollar surplus into a deficit. He was so short of money that he needed to raid the transportation trust fund to the tune of $1.1 billion; and then spend it on non- transportation projects. Ever wonder why the dangerous Route 113 in Worcester County is not finished? He is trying to recoup the money by levying other taxes on the rest of us (including businesses). Politicians need to understand that every increase to the cost of doing business in this state is passed on to consumers. We pay, not the business directly. But when it becomes too expensive to do business in Maryland, businesses leave and we have, not only unemployment, but we lose the goods and services that that business provided. Unemployed people absorb taxes, not pay them. Del. Mike McDermott understands all this as he has shown as mayor of Pocomoke and delegate in the Maryland House. Maryland used to rank 25th of the nation’s business friendly states, we are now 42nd since O’Malley and Lt. Gov. Brown took over. Business friendly state ratings are: Delaware, 14; Pennsylvania, 19; West Virginia, 23; and Virginia, 27.

Sunfest brings season to close with great attractions Continued from Page 100 cuss Ocean City’s wish list for the General Assembly in Annapolis, which starts in January. But I know during that meeting

we’re both going to turn around and look at each other, wondering how we got to cold weather again. Weren’t we just talking about Memorial Day?

Maryland had 11 Fortune 500 Companies. Poultry operations were expanding. Only McCormick is left of the 11 companies. McCormick is now considering relocating to Pennsylvania. Oppressive requirements placed on our farmers have stifled the poultry industry’s growth. Example: the “Chicken Tax” proposes a 5 percent chicken tax. The “Chicken Tax” affects 46,000 Maryland jobs. We have lost over 6,500 businesses. Unemployment has increased 75 percent and spending increased over $10 billion. Since he took office, 40 taxes have increased, including: the rain tax, sales tax, hospital bed tax, corporation tax, death and birth tax, tobacco tax, title tax, hotel rental and building excise taxes, higher tolls, the liquor tax, motor vehicle excise tax, and the flush tax has increased by 100 percent. This is nothing short of legalized extortion. If O’Malley and our state legislatures needed money, they could have followed Pennsylvania’s extremely lucrative lead of drilling 54,347 wells for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale Formation, since 2003—with no problems. Gasoline taxes go up every July 1. We, in this immediate area, are not yet affected by the rain tax, which

ridiculously taxes you on how much rain rolls off your roof and driveway. I said, “not yet!” How do big box stores like Wal-Mart deal with a tax dependent on how large their roofs and parking lots are? They increase the cost of their goods. Once again, we pay. We have also become a state very friendly to: illegal aliens, Common Core, (now disguised as Maryland College & Career Ready Standards”), same sex marriage, Obama care ( leaving thousands without insurance), gun control, Agenda 21, and convicted felons. Why would people and businesses want to relocate in this state? Dennis W Evans Berlin
