DARE: BACK IN THE GAME Crowd gathers at City Hall early this week to show support for former city manager, council hopeful ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Dennis Dare’s announcement that he would be “at the steps” of City Hall Monday morning confused at least a few, given that City Hall’s front entrance actually has no steps. But it only took a few minutes

after Dare emerged from the building to realize that “the steps” were more metaphorical than physical and that the idea of being on them — of being at the brink of a time of chaos — would play a major part in at least the next two months of Dare’s political life. As had been widely speculated

previously, Dare exited the building to announce that he had, moments before, filed his paperwork to run as a candidate for City Council. A crowd of about 60 supporters, wearing blueand-orange “Dennis Dare” stickers, flocked around a small, portable loudspeaker to hear Dare talk. “I feel I’m uniquely qualified,” Dare said, referring to his 29 years of service, from April 1990 See FORMER on Page 3

(Sept. 21, 2012) A news release out of Sarasota, Fla., last Friday has revealed that Ocean City’s chief of police is in the running to assume the same position in the Sunshine State. The City of Sarasota announced late last week that it had narrowed its candidate pool for the city’s top police position down to five finalists, including the Ocean City Police Department’s Chief Bernadette DiPino. “I saw the opportunity on the International Association of Chiefs of Police Web site, and I applied,” DiPino said. “I’m honored to be one of the five finalists they’ve picked.” Also on the Sarasota short list are Gregory Anderson, chief of police for the Oak Forest, Illinois Police Department; SalvaSee DiPINO on Page 15

to September 2011, as the town’s city manager. That service was abruptly brought to an end when Dare was forced into retirement by a 4-3 vote of the City Council, the majority of whom alleged that Dare’ actions in resisting the majority’s redirection of the town toward fiscal conservatism had constituted insubordination. Since then, rumors have swirled that Dare would attempt to come back as an elected official to fight back against those who had ousted him from his appointed position as the town’s chief administrator. Those rumors were soundly confirmed this week. But rather than the administrator of old, Dare appeared Monday as a politician. He went on to list the many major improvements that had been done around the city under his leadership, each one punctuated with a refraining zinger – “but that’s not good enough.” “We’ve done a lot, but there’s a lot left to do. I’ve had a lot of time to think about this over the past year,” Dare said to some laughter. Yet he was also careful to tout his credentials for fiscal restraint, given that his critics have continually painted him as overzealous with growth of municipal government. “We were able to right-size the town … a workforce of 100 less people, and an operating budget of $5 million less,” Dare said, referring to the last full year he was in office. The town’s general fund expenditures hit $80.4 million for the 20082009 fiscal year — right when the

economy turned for the worse. For 25 years at around 50 to 60 percent, indiFY2010, however, the operating budget cating that the city’s growth has been conwas reduced to $75.6 million.

The change was instituted by the same four members lobbying for collective bargaining in a refwho ousted Dare in September of that erendum this November and although year, to the strenuous objection of the none of the council’s minority has taken an explicitly pro-union stance, each has other three. But Dare’s supporters, particularly held up the movement as justified considMayor Rick Meehan, have said that the ering what they view as slights to the city’s budget bulge was justified in order for the workers by the council majority. “I will respect the decision of the votcity’s services to keep up with the volume and quality of residential building on the ers, if elected,” Dare said in reference to the union referendum. “We can be sucisland. Meehan said the city’s property tax cessful either way.” Dare opposed the 2002 unionization of revenue, as a percentage of its overall budget, has held steady for at least the last the city’s police force, in which the Frater-

nal Order of Police won its referendum on collective bargaining. “While I may not have supported it [police unionization], we worked well with the FOP. It wasn’t just a matter of pay and benefits, it was about working conditions and respect.” The three members of council who opposed Dare’s removal — Lloyd Martin, Mary Knight, and Doug Cymek, of whom the latter two are up for re-election this year — attended in support of Dare’s speech. Also present was former Council President Joe Mitrecic, whose defeat in 2010 by Brent Ashley allowed the creation of the current four-person majority, and who will be running to regain his seat. Dare acknowledged the possibility that, with the seats of current Council President Jim Hall and Councilman Joe Hall also up for grabs, a potent four-person bloc of himself, Mitrecic, Knight, and Cymek could possibly be installed. “We probably have a lot of the same views, see things the same way,” Dare said. “If the voters see it that way, I’d be honored to serve with them.” In his closing remarks Monday, Dare acknowledged all of the likely electoral battle lines, again with a bit of poetic flair. “Now is the time to turn divisiveness into inclusiveness. We need to turn the arrogance into respect. We need to turn employee mistrust into teamwork … fiscal folly into fiscal responsibility,” he said, “the misdirection of the new direction into the right direction.”

Skateboarding may soon be permitted on Ocean City Boardwalk ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Skateboards may soon be allowed on the Boardwalk, with one city councilman saying that an immediate concession will be a good way to extend the olive branch to local skaters in anticipation of further discussion this winter about revamping the town’s skateboard policy. “I think this is something we could do immediately to send a good message that we’re trying to work with the citizens … all the input I’m getting, there isn’t any pushback on it,” Councilman Doug Cymek said during Monday’s meeting. Cymek suggested that the council begin by allowing skateboarding on the Boardwalk during the times when bicycles are already permitted. Bikes may be ridden on the boards at any time during

the offseason, and from 2-11 a.m. only, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. “I recommend we make an initial immediate change … consistent with the current hours that bicycles are allowed,” Cymek said. The council has already indicated that it is receptive to relaxing the city’s skateboard policy, which currently bans their use in any public street or thoroughfare other than the city’s Ocean Bowl Skate Park on St. Louis Avenue between Third and Fourth streets. In July, the council voted to widen the city’s antiquated definition of “boogie boards” to allow a number of new varieties of soft-top body boards to be used on the city’s beaches. The same, it was said, could be done with skateboards, since skateboard technology and technique has changed greatly since the city’s code was written in the

“I think this part [allowing it on the Boardwalk] is rather easy, but we do need to do the second part [developing a technical definition] later on,” he said. Mayor Rick Meehan agreed, saying that he and City Manager David Recor had spoken with a number of surf shop owners who also sell skateboards and discovered that the divide between transport boards and trick boards lies largely in the wheels and less in the size and shape, which can vary wildly. “This would be a great time to try it,” Meehan said. “The code still prohibits them [skateboarders] from doing any of these other [destructive] things anyway.” “I think the rest of the discussion needs to take place because of the safety issues involved,” he continued, referring to police concerns about traffic, “but with this part [the Boardwalk], there’s no conflict with buses.” Council President Jim Hall agreed that it was worth a try. “This reminds me of the surfing beaches, we all thought, ‘Oh, this is going to kill us’ when they first started, but issue went away,” he said. “Let them take a shot at it. They [scofflaw skaters] are going to be up there [on the Boardwalk] anyway, if they’re going to jump off the roof, they’re going to jump off the roof.” City Solicitor Guy Ayres will present a draft ordinance at the next general session on Monday, Oct. 1. If agreed upon, Meehan said he would be willing to pass the ordinance as an emergency bill so the change could go into effect immediately.

1970s. Although skateboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they can be roughly divided into short or “street” boards, and longboards. Short boards are the more typical skateboard, with a louvered deck and angled ends designed to enable aerial tricks and stunts. Longboards are thin, flat, and have a longer wheelbase, designed for better maneuverability and retention of momentum when cruising down streets and sidewalks. The consensus seemed to be that longboards should be given more leniency for street use, since they pose less of a threat for destruction of property and general nuisance by boarders attempting tricks on curbs and railings. The same concerns were voiced on Monday as well. “They [skateboarders] can cause a lot of damage,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. “Even though there’s a law against it now, they don’t always obey it. It seems like you’d just be making a freefor-all.” “I’m out there every day and they almost run me over,” said Councilman Brent Ashley, who exercises on the Boardwalk every morning. “We’d have to make it very clear that this is for transportation only, not performing,” Cymek said. “You could also stop it if you did it ‘longboards only,’” Pillas added. But Cymek said that such a restriction would require “an expert in terminology” and would be difficult to implement in an objective manner, at least in the short term.

Building code revision said to have more than meets the eye ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) The Ocean City Council will be looking further into new state statutes that would alter the hurricane provisions in the resort’s building code, amid some unusual tension seemingly caused by the presence of an impact-resistant window manufacturer at the meeting. During a meeting some weeks ago, City Engineer Terry McGean had submitted to the council Maryland’s updated codes for structural weather-preparedness. Although the revised requirements included dozens, possibly hundreds of line changes, the major alteration that the city had been advised of was that the new hurricane mapping methods excludes large parts of the island from the “windborne debris region,” where impact-resistant glass glazing is required on all windows. “The current code, based on new, updated hurricane data and modeling, takes us out of the windborne debris region,” McGean said Monday. “For most structures, there is no longer the requirement for impact- resistant glazing. Safety structures, such as hospitals and fire houses, will still need it, but regular commercial structures will not.” But Councilman Doug Cymek, who works in the construction and contracting industry, said it was his impression that there were other changes that the city was

unaware of that could have an impact. “There are a number of code upgrades here that I think are going to incur an additional expense for building,” Cymek said. “I think you all really need to hear what surrounds that. We’re still very close to that line [the windborne debris boundary], but I’m not saying one way or the other.” However, McGean cautioned that the city’s ability to modify the revised codes was limited. “Most of the changes that add expense are in the energy code, and we cannot, by state law, amend that code to make it less strict,” he said. “The changes that reduce the costs of construction come from the lessened wind load speeds that we’ve been placed under … which also reduce the requirements for foundations and hurricane strapping.” “It’s also important to remember that a lot of the changes in that code have to do with air conditioning, plumbing, and electricity, and we do not adopt those because they’re separate [not regulated by the city],” McGean continued. He recommended that the council pass the new codes as an ordinance on first reading, but then investigate the issue at the next work session before finalizing the legislation. The council consented, but following the vote, David Barnes, president of Vi-

Bike week organizers thankful for MotherNature’s cooperation LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Kyle Ives grabs money from spectators watching him and his brother, Cody, ride the Wall of Death last weekend during the second annual OC BikeFest at the inlet parking lot.

(Sept. 21, 2012) Rain might have put a damper on motorcycle-related activities last year, but the thousands of bike enthusiasts who descended on Ocean City for this year’s events saw four days of ideal conditions. Early last week, bikers and weekend warriors of all stripes made their way to the Salisbury and Ocean City areas for three different motorcycle-related events: the 12th annual Delmarva Bike Week, the second annual OC BikeFest and second OC Bikes to the Beach Fall Rally. Delmarva Bike Week began last Thursday and continued through Sunday at four locations: Seacrets on 49th Street in

Ocean City, Harley-Davidson in Seaford, Del., and at Winter Place Park and Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. “Delmarva Bike Week was fabulous. It was just extraordinary,” said Bruce Bennett of B Line Inc., promoters of the event. “I think it was easily busier than last year. The great weather to go with 200 great vendors, mixed in with musical entertainment, thrill shows and rides in between was the perfect storm of everything coming together. Delmarva Bike Week went as best as it could possibly go, quite a difference from last year when we had rain on Saturday.” Activities scheduled during Bike Week included live music, rides, Xtreme Wheelie simulator rides, American Motor Drome thrill show and raffles. Other than the bike rides, all activities were free. Vendors selling just about everything motorcyclists could need — or want — for their bikes, as well as apparel, were stationed at all four locations. Bennett said vendors were extremely happy. A few vendors even did better during the four-day event here than they did at what is probably the largest bike week in the country, the Sturgis, S.D. Motorcycle Rally, held Aug. 6-12. “People come here to spend money. They know they’re going to see top-of-theline vendors and get great deals,” Bennett said. “The response was overwhelming from those who attended the event. They seemed happier than in the past ... I just can’t say enough ways how great [Delmarva Bike Week] was this year. We’re super excited how things went this year, and we’re also looking forward to next year.” Meanwhile, the second annual OC BikeFest, presented by Rommel HarleyDavidson of Annapolis and Rommel Harley-Davidson of New Castle and Smyrna, Del. was also taking place. Expanding from last year, when all activities were at the inlet parking lot, this year’s version saw three venues: the inlet parking lot, Ocean City convention center on 40th Street and Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street. “We had a few hiccups ... but overall, everything went well. We’ll make some changes for next year to make it better,” OC BikeFest organizer Cliff Sutherland said. “My most favorite moment was during the main act on Saturday (Charlie Daniels Band), looking around and seeing people having fun and enjoying the music. You become overwhelmed with emotion about what we created and how much fun people were having.” Other OC BikeFest events were the California Hell Riders Wall of Death thrill shows, Extreme Trials showcase featuring Tommi Ahvala, Ives Family Ball of Steel stunt show, Yamaha demo rides and the Adrenaline Crew stunt team. Vendors had booths set up at all three locations. A four-day pass for adults was $25 and a one-day pass cost $15. Children’s fourday passes were $15. Sunday was Family Day, when adults paid $10 and children $5. All attractions, concerts and activities were included in the admission price. See ORGANIZERS on Page 11

Resort launches citywide alert system via text, e-mail, RSS and social media (Sept. 21, 2012) In an effort to keep citizens better informed, the town of Ocean City is providing a new service, known as GovDelivery, to disseminate timely, accurate and essential information. Used by more than 450 government agencies, GovDelivery is an automated system that uses email, text messaging, RSS and social media to notify citizens about specific topics of interest. “GovDelivery will dramatically increase the number of people that the town of Ocean City can reach directly,” City Manager David Recor said. “Not only will this program streamline communication,

but more importantly, it will improve communication with our residents, businesses owners and visitors.” In addition to city wide alerts, citizens can choose to subscribe to a number of town of Ocean City topics, including government related news, tourism updates and recreation and parks programs and special events. The service, which is free for citizens, also allows users to create a profile in which they can create and change their preferences at any time. For more information, or to subscribe to GovDelivery, visit the “City Wide Alerts” tab on http://oceancitymd.gov.

winco, a manufacturer of impact-resistant glass, asked to relate his concerns about legislative changes, which he said were affecting a number of states in the region. “I’ve been following this action because we are extremely involved with building codes,” Barnes said. “I would just ask that the council get all their homework done. Some states have had problems with insurance companies.” “It’s not like it [hurricane risk] has gone away … you’re still so close to the wind line on the map, it’s not just debris but it’s also water penetration that causes mold and

other things,” Barnes continued. He offered to assist the city in getting insurance code information. But Barnes’ presence seemed to irk McGean, who implied that Barnes was more interested in publicizing the matter than working through it. “We’ve reached out to Mr. Barnes and his company multiple times, and I would like to extend that invitation again,” McGean said when asked by Council President Jim Hall if he knew how to reach Barnes. “My door is always open and my cell phone is always on. I’d like to get this rectified as soon as possible.”

Citizens for Ocean City has motivations, tax status questioned my understanding was that it informs voters to make good decisions,” Hall said. “I also noted that you take donations and collect money there … under what format is that organization able to collect money?” Hall continued. Groves said the organization is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, “which allows us, under federal law, to become political if we so choose, which we have not yet.” Under IRS law, 501(c)(4) status is available for “Civic Leagues, Social Welfare Organizations, and Local Associations of Employees’ Organizations.” “As of this time, as far as I know, you’ve only hosted donuts and coffee for one candidate, and I’d like to know what previous candidates were given equal time and benefit,” Hall asked, referring to the reception that Groves held Monday morning at the time of Dennis Dare’s announcement of his City Council candidacy.

ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Although typically associated with national politics, the age of the “Super PAC” may be coming to Ocean City, as a local citizens’ group has been questioned regarding its partiality in what has become a clearly divided municipal election. That questioning occurred during Monday’s City Council meeting when Councilman Joe Hall asked Citizens for Ocean City spokesman Joe Groves whether the organization had taken a specifically partisan role in the upcoming municipal election. “When you first appeared before us and talked about Citizens for Ocean City and the Facebook page and laid out some goals for it, I ‘friended’ it, have been part of a topic of discussion on the page, and

“We had a citizens’ appreciation day that happened to coincide with something else,” Groves said. “And I am not required to give equal time, nor, for the record, will I.” Despite Groves’ visible anger, Councilman Brent Ashley pressed the topic. “I was told this was for neighborly discourse … but also on your Web site, I see you had a picture of Joe in a Mad Hatter’s hat,” Ashley said, referring to a picture of Hall that had been altered with parts of Johnny Depp’s “Alice in Wonderland” portrayal and posted on the Citizens for Ocean City Facebook page. Groves contended that the public can submit any sort of content to the page. “I don’t censor people, nor will I,” he said. “We have an administrator for it. If it’s not in good taste, we take it off.” Council President Jim Hall eventually stopped the rapidly deteriorating discus-

sion. But the spat only served to highlight the growing prominence of Groves’ group, whose exact role in the upcoming election has been thrust into the limelight as it gathers increasing praise from its supporters and increasing contempt from its detractors. Citizens for Ocean City began during the contested installation of a new fourmember council majority composed of Hall, Hall, Ashley, and Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. The organization gained considerably more traction when that group voted to oust long-time City Manager Dennis Dare. Groves has contended that the group’s objection to Dare’s removal was not a statement against the council majority on political grounds, but an objection to the process, conducted mostly in secret with too little public discussion. “I’ve always said that they had every right to fire Dennis, but it was how it was done [that was the issue],” Groves said. Since then, the group has made a point of raising voter awareness and government transparency, publishing council agendas and minutes, making announcements of public meetings, and holding voter registration drives. But the core issue has been Dare’s firing, and because of that Groves admits that roughly 80 percent of the group’s contributors, as well as Groves himself, are staunch backers of Dare and critics of what they often refer to as the ‘new majority.’ The right of a 501(c)(4) to engage in See AS on Page 9 THEATRE CLOSED MON 12/19 – TUES 12/20 FOR MOVIE INFO RENOVATIONS

As 501(c)(4), org’s campaign limits are fine line Continued from Page 8

political campaigns has been much debated on the federal level. Those that do are often referred to as Political Action Committees, or ‘Super PACs’ by their critics who contend that, if the organization’s intervention in a certain issue causes it to side clearly with a certain candidate or candidates who supports that issue, the organization has become a campaign fund and should not be given 501(c)(4) status. Some 501(c)(4) organizations go so far as to endorse candidates, but are barred from directly contributing to their campaign, although they are allowed to provide concurrent but independent services that compliment a particular candidate who is involved with the issue that the group concerns. Groves said the group does not currently plan to endorse any candidates, but that he would support such a move if that was what the group’s leadership

wanted. However, it was evident later this week that the central player in the group’s concern – Dare – has become an expressly political figure. On Tuesday night, Citizens for Ocean City held a rally for residents to meet council candidates and register to vote. Although all were welcome, the rally’s keynote speaker – Mayor Rick Meehan – made it clear that the goal of raising transparency and awareness was to expose the “path of destruction” that the “so-called new majority” had wrought. “I don’t know that I’ve ever gone through a two-year period as rough as this,” Meehan said. Much of his brief speech contended, as he has before, that city employees’ current unionization drive is the result of slights by the current council majority. “We have council members saying ‘when we’re done with you, we’re done with you,’” Meehan said, referring to an oft-cited quote from Joe Hall regarding

his desire to curtail the city’s pension obligations. “It’s an insult to our employees … and their justified loss of confidence in council,” Meehan continued. He paused to recognize Greg DeMarco, a collective bargaining proponent and vocal critic of Hall, who was in attendance with several other supportive employees as well as union organizers. Joe Hall was in attendance Tuesday, but his formal recognition by Meehan resulted in haphazard applause and murmurs from the audience. Dare’s acknowledgement met with the most resounding cheer. “It was your support that … helped limit the long-range effects of those decisions on our employees. Thank God you were there,” Meehan said to the group. And when Dare’s termination happened, Meehan said, “Citizens for Ocean City again stood strong and voiced their opposition.”

Carriage rides on Boardwalk to begin in October ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) The Ocean City Council moved Monday to proceed with a plan to bring horse-drawn carriage rides to the Boardwalk during the off-season, using the same vendor that provides the service to Berlin.

OC BikeFest was created last year because Sutherland said some resort hotels had vacancies during Bike Week festivities in 2010, as the event seemed to be moving toward Salisbury. OC BikeFest organizers wanted to bring visitors back into Ocean City. About 16,000 guests came through the gates over the four days last year. This year, Sutherland said, paid attendance was approximately 24,000. He estimated 30,000 others visited the free admission parking lots at the convention center and Jolly Roger over the four days. “The weather was a big factor. Attendance was about 50,000 for all three venues and we had visitors from all over,” he said. “As far as people coming, we were pleased. Hopefully they enjoyed their experience and will want to come back to Ocean City.” Both Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City and Oasis Bar and Grill in Whaleyville have played a part in fall motorcycle events for years, but 2011 was the first time for an official fall rally. The two businesses presented the inaugural Bikes to the Beach rally, held April 29 to May 1 last year — the first organized motorcycle

event to take place in the area in the spring. The 2011 spring rally drew thousands to Hooper’s and Oasis and because the turnout was so good, organizers agreed to create a fall version of the rally to be held the same weekend as OC BikeFest and Delmarva Bike Week. The second annual Bikes to the Beach Fall Rally begin Sept. 13, at both locations and ran through Sunday. Different free activities took place at each location, including live entertainment, a motorcycle rodeo, thrill show and mechanical bull riding. Vendors also set up shop at both businesses. Ryan Intrieri, general manager of Hooper’s Crab House, said the 2012 rally was the best motorcycle-related event the restaurant has sponsored. “It was by far the best rally for us. All of the stars were in line with the weather. You couldn’t have asked for better weather,” he said. “Wednesday was a soft opening and Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning were just great. I’ve never seen as many bikes as there were Friday and Saturday ... There was great community involvement. Delmarva Bike Week and OC BikeFest did a great job promoting and bringing people down here.”

More weapons-related arrests this summer compared to 2011 NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) The number of weapons-related arrests in Ocean City more than doubled from last summer to this summer, jumping from 56 charged with weapons offenses in 2011 to 125 arrests this summer. Pfc. Mike Levy, the public affairs officer for the Ocean City Police Department, attributed that increased number of arrests to more rigorous police work. “The very proactive stance the officers

POLICE BRIEFS

Apparent balcony fall Ocean City detectives are investigating the Sept. 18 death of a woman who apparently fell from a third-story balcony at a Canal Street condominium. After getting a 911 call at about 3 a.m., police found the woman’s body lying on the ground on the west side of the building. The victim’s name was not being released pending notification of next of kin. The body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.

We’re finding the weapons before they are used in the commission of crimes.” The weapons involved in those arrests included handguns, knives, martial arts weapons and bats. The 125 weapons arrests were among the 3,060 arrests Ocean City police

The other two suspects were approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall with medium complexion. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Berlin Police Department at 410-641-1332 or the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation at 410-352-3476.

Trespassing at feed mill Five people were cited Monday with trespassing at the Perdue feed mill on Bryan Avenue. Berlin police were dispatched to the mill at about 10:45 p.m. because of people climbing on the towers. Officers saw them climbing down the main tower.

made this summer. The total number of arrests rose 447 from last summer’s 2,613 arrests. Nearly half of this summer’s arrests, 1,258, were people charged with drug offenses. Last summer, 1,067 people faced similar charges. That increase is also attributed to more energetic police work. Levy said police looked for traffic violations, seatbelt violations and other relatively minor violations on the theory that people who committed minor violations would be likely to commit more serious violations,

Receiving citations were Devin Frederick, 19, Kyle Hill, 20, Avery Parker, 18, Keven Ladd, 18, all of Berlin, Julienne Baptiste, 18, of Ocean City, and one juvenile. Berlin police urge people to stay away from industrial areas and railroad areas.

Man wanted in New Jersey The Rochelle Park, N.J. Police Department had asked Ocean Pines residents to contact police if they saw a 2008 four-door black Toyota Avalon with New Jersey plates Z82AFK. The vehicle is owned by Lawrence Nelson, 62, of Bergen County, N.J. Nelson was wanted in New Jersey for aggravated assault and eluding a police officer with serious bodily injury, after striking a Rochelle Park office with his car on Sept. 13th.

such as drug offenses. During searches of vehicles stopped for the minor violations, police often found illegal drugs, he said. The number of simple assaults, which could involve only the threat of force rather than the use of force itself, was 596, up slightly from last summer’s total of 558. The number of aggravated assaults, assaults that do involve the use of force that could result in serous bodily harm or death, fell from 55 to 30. The number of drinking and driving arrests rose from 146 in the summer of 2011 to 200 this summer. Reported rapes fell from 20 last summer to 16. Of those, three reported rapes were unfounded last summer and four were unfounded this summer. The number of robberies fell from 20 to 17 and one of the reported robberies this summer turned out to be false. Pedestrian collisions rose sharply from 12 last summer to 34 this summer, including two fatal accidents. Police have tried to lower the number of people struck by vehicles, but pedestrian safety is challenging because the population changes each week, Levy said. The number of motor scooter collisions rose just slightly from 131, including 24 scooter operators who were taken to a hospital, to 140, including 20 who were taken to a hospital. The reports are for the Friday that began the Memorial Day weekends through the Monday that ended the Labor Day weekends.

DiPino named one of five finalists for Florida police chief Continued from Page 1

tore Ruggiero, former major/division commander with the Tampa, Fla. Police Department; Mark Teunis, major/division commander with the Clearwater, Fla. Police Department; and Tonya Vincent, deputy chief of police for the Richmond, Va. Police Department. Regardless of whether she gets the Sarasota position, DiPino is already set to depart from the OCPD in the near future. Under the department’s Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP), officers who have reached the retirement threshold of 25 years of service are given incentives to commit to retiring on a certain date within three years. The intent is to prevent officers from retiring abruptly, or continuing indefinitely, thus making it easier for the department to plan for the replacement of its aging workforce. Under the DROP system, DiPino is set to retire from the OCPD in a little over a year. “I’m in the DROP for the police department already, so the last day for me here would be October of next year,” DiPino said. A fourth-generation law enforcement officer, DiPino began her career with the Baltimore County Police Department in 1985. She moved to the OCPD in 1988, and advanced through the ranks to private first class in 1993, sergeant in 1995, lieutenant in 1998, and then to major and shortly thereafter chief of police in 2003. “These are impressive candidates,” Sarasota City Manager Tom Barwin said in the release. “Each one has the critical skill sets required to strengthen and improve trust between each and every member of the community and all the police department … I’m looking forward to selecting someone with strong professional principles who embraces community policing and has a clear vision to uplift and lead our 175 sworn officers at time when resources are a challenge.” DiPino will meet with Sarasota officials early next month. A community meet-and-greet with Sarasota’s public is scheduled for Oct. 5. “I believe all the experiences and opportunities I’ve had here will benefit me wherever I go,” DiPino said. “Like Ocean City, Sarasota is also a unique resort area … there are a lot of similarities, and there are differences also. They have a bigger year-round police force, but if you look at how many officers we add in the summer, the scale is similar.” Sarasota’s current chief, Michael Holloway, is retiring after 30 years on the force, the last two as chief. His current salary is approximately $132,000, versus DiPino’s current compensation in Ocean City of $144,676.89. According to the (Sarasota) HeraldTribune, Holloway took the post during a troubled period within the department and City Hall, as city officials severely reduced employee pensions and later ousted the city manager for alleged public records violations. Barwin took over the job earlier this month.

POLICE BRIEFS Continued from Page 14 Ocean Pines, was arrested Sept. 14 in a WalMart in Camden, Del.

False imprisonment On Sept. 15, at approximately 12:35 a.m., a Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy was patrolling the Park and Ride in West Ocean City when he saw a black Ford Explorer parked in the middle of the parking lot. Upon closer investigation, the deputy observed the knee of a person in the passenger seat with the seat reclined all the way back. Because people are not allowed to sleep in vehicles in the Park and Ride, the deputy approached the vehicle. Upon making contact with the passenger, Carl Pattelli, the rear seat passenger, a woman, began mouthing the words “help me.” The female was visibly upset and it was obvious she had been crying, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy separated the front seat occupant, Anthony Joseph Pattelli, 30, of Buena Park, Calif., and the woman. The deputy learned that Pattelli was the woman’s boyfriend and that the two had been living in their vehicle for several days. When an argument started that evening, the woman said, Pattelli assaulted her. She also said he had been holding her against her will for more than two hours. She told the deputy she attempted to get out of the vehicle several times, but each time she was assaulted by Pattelli. She finally gave up for fear of getting hurt worse. The woman had visible injuries to her head, mouth and throat area. Pattelli was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and false imprisonment. Pattelli was held on $3,000. At bail review, Pattelli’s bond was raised to $5,000.

Boy with marijuana A 16-year-old boy from Ocean City was charged Sept. 14 with possession of suspected marijuana and driving a motor scooter without a license. A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy made the traffic stop at Route 611 and Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City and found the marijuana. The boy was released to his parents pending juvenile court actions.

Dog locked in vehicle A deputy with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office located a dog locked in a vehicle in the WalMart near Berlin on Sept. 14, after a caller notified police. He went into the store to locate the vehicle’s owner, Bryan Christopher Hazard, 28, of Berlin, who had an active Circuit Court warrant for failure to appear in court on a child support issue. Hazard was arrested and the dog was freed from the car and turned over to a family member.

Unauthorized use A deputy with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle on Old Snow Hill Road on Sept. 14 because of an inoperative tag light. After detecting the odor of alcohol on the breath of the driver, Francis Elder Moale Early III, 49, of Pocomoke, the deputy administered field sobriety tests, on which Early did poorly. The deputy spoke with the vehicle’s owner and determined Early did not have permission to drive it. The deputy charged Early with driving while his license was suspended and revoked, driving under the influence of alcohol and authorized use of a motor vehicle.

Operation Medicine Drop – Safe Communities slated for Sept. 29 medicine at the Ocean City location last spring. That amount was part of the 205 pounds of unused and expired medications collected in Worcester County. That drug take-back day, April 28, resulted in a record-breaking 552,161 pounds, or 276 tons, of unwanted and expired medications at the 5,659 take-back sites available in the United States. During the four take-back days since the program started, 1.5 million pounds, or 774 tons, of medications have been removed from circulation. The Ocean City Police Department’s commitment to get unwanted, unused and expired prescription medication out of people’s cabinets and off the streets has continued through the recent addition of a 24-hour drop box, donated by the Ocean

(Sept. 21, 2012) Local officials from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Worcester County Health Department, Ocean City Police Department, Berlin Police Department and Assateague Coastal Trust/COASTKEEPER will host dropoff locations for Operation Medicine Drop, a one-day drug take back effort, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. Worcester County residents are encouraged to take unwanted, unused or expired over-the-counter and prescription medications to the dropoff locations. Law enforcement will ensure the medications are safely disposed of to prevent potentially harmful substances from entering local waterways or from being abused, misused, or ingested by small children. It is important to note the dropoff location for West Ocean City has changed from the Food Lion to the fire station on Keyser Point Road, just off Route 50 (turn at Hooters). The dropoff location for Ocean Pines is now located at the South Ocean Pines Fire Station on Ocean Parkway, rather than Food Lion. “Ocean Pines residents now have a permanent drop box located at the Ocean Pines Police Station,” said Kathy Phillips, Assateague COASTKEEPER. “This is a huge benefit to the community and gives folks an option to clean out their medicine cabinets more often.” Ocean City police have participated twice in the biannual program. The police department’s last participation in Operation Medicine Drop yielded 26.5 pounds of

City Elks Lodge. Until recently, consumers have been told to flush unwanted drugs. With technological advances and research, low levels of drugs are being found in surface waters. Recent research by the U.S. Geological Service now confirms that some drugs pass largely unaltered through wastewater treatment plants and enter bays and other waters. Studies have also discovered “inter-sex” largemouth bass, with both male and female reproductive organs, in ponds and lakes on Delmarva, an indicator of biological interference from pharmaceuticals in local waterways. Unused medications, if not properly disposed of, also find their way into the community, posing a health threat to families,

especially small children who often ingest medications mistaking them for candy. Pet medications may also be turned in at any of the dropoff locations. Sharps and hazardous waste materials cannot be dropped off. Dropoff locations for Sept. 29: ■ Pocomoke Health Center, 400-A Walnut St. ■ Snow Hill Health Department, 6040 Public Landing Road ■ Berlin Police Department, 10 William St. ■ Keyser Point Road Fire Hall in West Ocean City ■ South Fire Hall on Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines ■ Public Safety Building, 6501 Coastal Highway in Ocean City

Berlin drug dealer gets additional three years in prison NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) D’Vaughn Jeronte Miller, 25, of Berlin, was surprised last Friday when the judge sentenced him to an additional three years in prison because he had violated his probation. Miller was arrested and charged with distribution of cocaine on April 2009 after being caught in an undercover operation in Berlin aimed at eliminating the drug market in the Bay and Flower streets area.

<<< *1&=*) .;.3, 3*9 ?

In December 2009, Judge Thomas C. Groton III sentenced Miller to four years in prison with all but one year suspended for that charge of distribution of cocaine. He put Miller on two years of supervised probation to be served after his release from jail and said he would have to serve the remaining three years of the prison sentence if he violated that probation. Miller violated probation in October 2011 by getting “caught red-handed” with cocaine, defense attorney Scott Collins told Groton in Circuit Court in Snow Hill last

Friday. He was charged again with distribution of cocaine, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Collins asked Groton to make the sentence for violation of probation concurrent to the most recent sentence, but Groton did not. The judge reinstated the rest of his original sentence and Miller must serve those three years consecutive to the eightyear sentence. Miller had told the judge he just wanted to do his time, get out and support his family.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2012

Forum has promise if candidates agree With just a little over a month until the Ocean City municipal election, the volume, if not the substance, of the discussion will continue to increase as advocates and adversaries attempt to make their voices heard above all others. But volume or repeatedly banging out the same refrain will not do much for voters who might want to know more about the candidates themselves, rather than what the candidates think of their competition. Fortunately, a serious attempt to establish where council hopefuls stand – as opposed to whom they stand against – exists. If the candidates cooperate, and here’s hoping that all will, this will occur when the AARP holds its candidates forum on Oct. 16 at the Ocean City Elks Lodge. Although the past does add perspective to the debate – and there are years of past foolishness to dig into – it is only half of what voters need to hear. The other half is what these prospective council members want to do, intend to do or believe should be done if they are elected. It would be helpful if candidates outlined their plans or visions for the resort and its government, beyond the usual platitudinal remarks. It is obvious, after all, that everyone who runs for office respects the voice of the voters, will represent the public faithfully and will do their utmost to deliver the kind of government the public wants, whatever that is. What would be good to hear in some detail from all the contestants is an outline of where they stand on budgeting, levying taxes and directing policy. What are their plans and objectives? What precisely do they hope to accomplish in office besides simply kicking out or keeping out their opponents? The AARP forum, invitations to which either have been or will be sent to every candidate, can be the place where this can happen, providing that the candidates themselves are committed to it, do their homework and come prepared to give the audience a clear picture of how they plan to handle the job and what it will mean to the public.

READERS’ FORUM

Ashley responds to recent article Editor, This letter is in response to the article, “Employee Contents Union Effort All About Losing Trust,” which appeared in a local newspaper last week. The question-andanswer article cites city Parks and Recreation employee and activist Greg DeMarco. 1. DeMarco: “It [union] almost happened in 2005, but then City Manager Dennis Dare calmed it down and it went away.” Fact: The calming effect in FY 05 was city employees received an extra 3 percent wage adjustment. This was in addition to their annual anniversary and COLA salary increases. In FY 06, city employees received another extra 5 percent wage adjustment, again in addition to their annual anniversary and COLA increases. 2. DeMarco: “I had no idea what was going on, but then January 2011 came and all of those ordinances to alter pay and benefits came out the blue.” Fact: No. The salary and benefit proposed changes did not come out the blue. Before the current majority, the previous council, led by Joe Mitrecic, had pay and benefit consultants come before them on Oct. 12, 2009, and June 1, 2010 (over a period of several months) to offer review and options on pay and benefits for current employees. Then, at the Nov. 30, 2010 council meeting, a presentation was made by Human Resource Director Wayne Evans and City Manager Dennis

Dare to discuss the consultants propose changes to the current employees — fifth week vacation, ICMA match and the holiday schedule. In a July 27, 2012 letter to the editor, Joe Mitrecic referenced these council discussions of costsavings ideas: “payroll and medical benefits were two items that were discussed at length” and “there were no less than three meetings with consultants hired to present the facts.” 3. DeMarco: “They were trying to take our fifth week of vacation from us … That’s when I got to have a lot of respect for the mayor, council members Doug Cymek, Lloyd Martin and Mary Knight, who were trying to stop it.” Fact: No. Our discussion was only about new hires. At a council meeting on Jan. 19, 2011, Mayor Meehan stated, “I believe the intention of the council was to eliminate the fifth week for new employees.” As far as who was trying to stop it? It was Mayor Meehan who brought into council discussions the subject of the new wage scale applying to all employees, including current employees, because he said that would save the city an additional $1.5 million. It was also the mayor who suggested reducing the maximum vacation for the current employees from five weeks to four weeks. 4. DeMarco: Commenting on Joe Hall’s motion asking council members to voice their position on the union effort. “They all decided they were going to let the citizens vote on it … then Joe Hall decides

he wants to change it and taint the system.” Fact: No. Joe Hall’s motion had nothing to do with changing the system or taking away the citizen’s right to decide the referendum issue at election time. His motion, that I seconded, was simply to poll the council members own opinions. This was clearly stated and restated at that council meeting. 5. DeMarco: “They keep attacking us and spreading fear”… “It’s because of them and their actions. That’s why this is happening.” Facts speak for themselves: No Ocean City employee layoffs and no Ocean City employee furloughs. Since July 1, 2011, 57 budgeted city positions have been filled. All full time employees were given an extra paid day off this year for Random Act of Kindness Day (Good Friday) that resulted in an extra three day paid holiday. In July 2012, all fulltime employees received a $1,000 extra pay bonus. 6. DeMarco: “Talk of a hit list surfaced and everyone was concerned and paranoid.” Fact: I have never seen a hit list. If one does exist, I would imagine the current council majority is on it. Brent Ashley Ocean City Councilman

By Stewart Dobson As a male who is somewhat involved in outdoor activities – and by that I mean something far down the scale from a triathlon but slightly up from sitting around and sipping beer in the sun – I have long believed that I have certain rights. These rights would include, depending on the day, to be a slob whenever the need should arise and to behave in a forgetful slob-like manner without being cognizant of one’s own slobness. The thing is, you understand, that being a slob and consciously deciding to be a slob are two different things. Someone who decides to be slob-like is a slob, while someone who without premeditation slips into a state of extreme untidiness, is, for the lack of a better word, a male. At least that’s how I see it. Unfortunately, not everyone accepts or even recognizes this right of maledom, thus leading to various degrees of household conflict, such as when the perpetrator of accidental slob crimes and misdemeanors is called to account for something he didn’t even know he did. “I thought we had an agreement,” she said. “We have many agreements, none of which are enforceable in court, I might add.” “We agreed that you wouldn’t throw your stinky bait leftovers, particularly those Gulps (an artificial fish bait that is known far and wide for smelling like the central repository for the world’s excess battery acid) in the garbage can.” “I didn’t throw any of those in the garbage can,” I protested. “Maybe it was vandals.” “Oh, then what were those things stuck to the bottom and why did my knees buckle when the lid flipped open and some form of lethal gas escaped? Whatever it was or is, it’s probably illegal under the Geneva Convention.” “Ohhhhhh, that. Yes, well, technically, it wasn’t a violation of our agreement not to put Gulps in the garbage can or to store them in a vacuum somewhere off the property. No, what you saw were the remnants of some peeler crabs I used for bait the other day. That comes under a completely different agreement and since you cited the wrong agreement, I’m free on a technicality.” “No, the fact is you’re a slob sometimes and you have to stop it.” “But it’s my right! I’m a guy and guys are entitled to some slobbidity from time to time, especially after they go fishing. It’s nature’s way.” “Okay, you may be correct on that point, so let me put it to you in terms I’m sure you will understand. “And that is?” “There are two ways in this world: nature’s way and my way. Pick one.” “And my rights?” “I’m sure you’ll pick the right answer.” Next week: Tips on how to clean a garbage can.

finally speak up and voice my opinion and concerns with this motorcycle mayhem that happens every year. The noise level has now gotten so bad that my out-oftown guests left vacation early because they could not tolerate the noise. One would ask the powers at be that decide on allowing this event to come to our town — does it have to be in prime beach vacation season? These people don’t look like they are interested in the white sand, but more racing up and down Coastal Highway. Why can’t they come in October, or April or even May? Why, during the one month that we locals look forward to enjoying (the most beautiful month of the season) in peace and quiet, do we have to host such a loud event? I’m sure even businesses would more appreciate the extra business during a more off-season time. When we have people leaving town because of an event,

Home Tour reception a success Editor, Last week, the Art League of Ocean City held its largest ever cocktail reception fundraiser to honor the owners of the homes on the 2012 Sand Castle Home Tour. Named “A Party In Paradise” because it was held at the magnificent home of Palmer Gillis and Sandy James, it could also have been called “A Perfect Evening” due to the beautiful setting, lovely weather and sunset, great food and music and nice people. The party committee thanks everyone who made this such a successful event that raised more than $7,000 for the ALOC. Thank you to Palmer Gillis and Sandy

James for being the most gracious hosts ever and for sharing your beautiful home that is a work of art in itself. Thank you to the Gateway Grand Residences for generously sponsoring the event and for their support of the ALOC. Thank you to Connor Poole, Chris Poole and Jessi Maddy, three students from Stephen Decatur High School who provided the entertainment (they deserve community service for the evening.) Thank you to the caterer, Waterman’s Inn in Crisfield; the bartender, Tim Carven; the beverage “runner,” Ed Galyon; and to Parties Your Way, Copy Central, Pepsi Bottling Co. and Ish Boutique. Thanks, also, to ALOC volunteers, Ann Hansen, Betty Stork, Caroline Anthony, Stasia Huebeck and Jody Veader; to all the artists who painted beautiful paintings for the 2012 homeowners; and to the homeowners themselves who have graciously opened their homes for the Home Tour.

Surprised by issues with surf contests Editor, I was surprised to see that some residents are so irritated by the few surf contests held in Ocean City each summer. I think that there are some misconceptions about the purpose of these contests and their organizers. I am not affiliated with any surf shop or organization, just a regular spectator. First, let me say that I cannot speak for any other events held on Ocean City’s beaches. In fact, my family rarely crosses the Route 50 bridge for any reason other than to attend a handful of surf contests each year. The fact is we, like many other families, attend these contests not only for the fun and camaraderie, but also for our kids. Surf contests truly are a family affair. Adult competitors, like my children’s father and grandfather, model good sportsmanship and encourage our young people to succeed. Watching their grandparents and father volunteer teaches my children civic responsibility. Along with our

family, there are countless others who use these opportunities as a chance to foster a sense of community pride amongst ourselves and our children. People like the director of the [Delmarva chapter of the] Eastern Surfing Association, the largest amateur surfing association in the world, give countless hours, voluntarily, in order to give those who want it the opportunity not only to compete locally, but to advance to regional, east coast and national competitions. In addition to surf contests, ESA Delmarva Director Chris McKibben also organizes events to help special needs children experience the joy of surfing and novice contests to help children to whom surfing would otherwise be inaccessible. Brilliant individual indeed. Many people selflessly give countless hours to keep this way of life available to Ocean City natives, residents and visitors. Prominent local businesses and organizations sponsor contests and donate prizes and food for competitors. Why? Certainly not to make money. Organized events give kids a chance to showcase their skills, talents and dedi-

SEPTEMBER 21, 2012

cation. These contests are some of the only opportunities kids get to be recognized for all their hard work. Many children, like mine, have generations of surfers in their family. The people who organize, volunteer and donate to these events do so because they know the importance of keeping this tradition alive. Surfing is tightly woven into the local fabric and it is the purpose of everyone involved to give access to new generations. For so many children, as well as adults, surfing is a way of life, and we all know how important it is to encourage our young to be active and involved, not discouraged because it is inconvenient to a few. Thank you to all of you who participate, volunteer and donate. If anyone is still skeptical, there will be a regional contest sometime in October. Instead of walking a block to the north or south, join us. See what it’s all about for yourself. Bring the grandkids — they’d love it. Alicia, Ted, Fred and Coral Smith West Ocean City

Delaware burn camp receives donation Editor, On Tuesday, Sept. 18, a donation in the amount of $3,000 was made to the Delaware Burn Camp [during organizers’] monthly meeting in Georgetown, Del. The money for the donation was raised as part of this year’s “Ocean City Jeep Week” event held here in the resort town each year, the last weekend in August. As a 28-year veteran of the fire service with the Ocean City Fire Department, I have seen kids suffer and witnessed the terrible pain that these injuries cause, not only physically, but emotionally as well. This program is a well run and a very rewarding charity that provides children who have suffered burn injuries a chance to go to camp and be with other kids just like them without being worried about being teased or outcast due to their injuries or scars. Ocean City Jeep Week was started in 2010 by the Lynch family of the Commander Hotel in Ocean City, when they asked me to produce an event to help bring people to their motel during the last weekend of August (a notoriously dead week for tourism in the town). I took the challenge, and in the past three years, I’ve been able to put together a very well run event that has brought a number of Jeep enthusiast to town. With the continued help of local sponsors and the efforts of those involved in Ocean City Jeep Week, we hope to make a donation like this to a local charity each year.

Response to Christ letter The following letter is in response to a letter written by Anthony “Tony” Christ and published in the Sept. 14 issue of Ocean City Today: Mr. Christ, It is pointless to expend any more of your energy toward insisting that each member of the Ocean City Council publicly state whether they are for or against collective bargaining. The decision has been made to place the issue on the ballot, and whether those rights will be extended to all Ocean City Government employees will be determined democratically by residents like you. Collective bargaining is a voice in the workplace. It facilitates open constructive communications between the em-

OPINION 23

ployee representative group and the employer regarding issues such as pay, health care, retirement, worker safety and other work conditions. The IAFF (firefighters) and FOP (police) unions in Ocean City have shared a good relationship with the city. We work together with mutual respect and understanding to make fair decisions in the best interest of everyone, especially the citizens. We don’t strike, walkout, picket, etc., not only because our contracts and labor code forbid it, but because we are also part of the community, taxpaying citizens like you, middle class, trying to make a decent living. We also care about our town and our careers. As employees, we just want some security and reassurance that we will be able to continue to serve the city as they have served us. A collective voice. I agree with you, Mr. Christ, that Franklin D. Roosevelt was a tireless defender of labor rights. Instead of Joe Hall and Brent Ashley standing with FDR against public union collective bargaining, they should stand with FDR when he said, “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.” Michael S.

Driver would distribute info on OC events to riders Street before turning north onto Baltimore Avenue. Once at Somerset Street, the carriage would then go west to Philadelphia and then back to Sunset Park. The additional route was suggested by OCDC Executive Director Glenn Irwin and Brian McCarthy of the Downtown Association. This route would run Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only from Nov. 24 until mid-December in order to complement the Downtown Association’s “Light Up Downtown” event. The council’s major concerns involved the flexibility of the route and how the resort would benefit from the operation. Councilman Joe Hall wondered if the loop around the pier couldn’t be skipped at a passenger’s request during the winter months, “if it’s 20 [degrees] and gusty coming off the ocean.” “I’m not going to say that they couldn’t, although I thought it was more attrac-

First Street. The carriage would then proceed north on Baltimore Avenue, turning east on Dorchester Street and crossing the Boardwalk into the concrete tram lane to head south. Riders would then be taken out around the east end of the pier and back to the stop outside the restrooms. This route would be run from Oct. 19 to April 14, 2013, with future years’ dates to be tweaked around what events the city has planned. “That [the dates] ties around special events that really wouldn’t be safe [for horses]”, Adkins said. This year, the weekend before the carriage rides begin is the Corvette show, and the weekend after it ends is the Komen 5K. A second “holiday route” would begin at Sunset Park, head south on Philadelphia Avenue and then east on South First

tive to keep him off of the wooden portion where there’s pedestrian traffic,” Adkins replied. He also added that Boardwalk reconstruction would not interrupt carriage service, since “what they remove in a day, they put back in a day.” Councilwoman Margaret Pillas reiterated that new events may be given “more right-of-way” and that Davis’ schedule and route could be altered as more events are added to the town’s schedule. She also addressed the issue of the city’s benefit from Davis’ operation, suggesting that Davis be required to remove advertising placards from his carriages that advertise Berlin businesses and replace them with placards for Ocean Citysponsored events. Davis said he could hand out brochures and other materials for the city, as he does in Berlin. “Anyone who gets in that carriage, I give it to every one of them,” he said.

Atlantic General Hospital

Renovation project at Berlin hospital to begin in October (Sept. 21, 2012) Atlantic General Hospital will begin renovating its main lobby at the south entrance to the facility in October. The project is being carried out in conjunction with the construction of a larger cafeteria adjacent to the lobby to better serve patients and visitors. The project, which will include repositioning the main desk closer to the entrance, replacing the flooring, upgrading the restrooms, and updating the wall finishes and lighting, is expected to be completed by December. The work will be carried out in stages so there will be no disruption in access to the building.

‘Ping Pong Summer’ filming under way; local girl cast in key role ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) If Ocean City gets nothing else out of the filming of “Ping Pong Summer,” at least one local kid will have learned how to use a clutch on the movie’s dime. “We’re teaching her how to drive a stick, but only for one scene. It’s perfectly safe, don’t get the wrong idea,” said the film’s director, Michael Tully, at a reception on Sunday. He was referring to local student Emily Shockley, who has garnered a key role in the upcoming independent film. Shockley is 15. The same tack was taken by City Council in August, when it reluctantly approved a grant of $100,000 to help with the film’s funding, on the recommendation of the city’s Tourism Advisory Board. “I’m not thinking it so far out, as to say

‘Oh my God, what if we don’t’ get our money back,’” said Council President Jim Hall at the time. “If nothing else, you’re going to get a hell of a commercial.” But producers are confident the film will be much more than that. Shooting began this week, and the film’s largely inexperienced child stars are currently working hard in rehearsal – hence Shockley’s unavailability to comment on her role. “We had a lot of young actresses – many of them Hollywood-known – interested in the role. But Emmy was the one. She looks the part, acts the part, she even has the right Maryland accent. She’s great, really talented,” lead producer George Rush said. Shockley will be portraying Stacy Summers, a “very, very pretty” 16-year-old, according to the film’s character synopsis. She drives a white VW convertible, and is

a love interest for both of the movie’s key male characters. She is somewhat highstrung, constantly drinking Slurpees and adding an unknown substance to them. Tully, who also wrote the script, has previously expressed his desire to aid the film’s authenticity by filling the main youth roles with local, Maryland kids who reflect the kind of young people who could have been vacationing at the resort in 1985, when the film’s story is set. Casting calls have been held previously throughout the state, and 435 people showed up for a call in Ocean City two weeks ago. “These kids present the whole spectrum of what it is to be a teenager,” Rush said of his cast. Not only have they had to learn their characters, but Rush’s young actors have also had to rapidly develop the one unique skill that the film requires – a mean game of table tennis. “I challenge anyone to try to take these

kids on,” Rush said. Although they won’t be in Ocean City until later in the shoot, several nationally known actors have been cast for the movie’s adult roles, most notably Susan Sarandon. Tully, known previously for dark, complex films such as “Silver Jew,” (a documentary about the New York City band, The Silver Jews), “Cocaine Angel” and “Septien,” has previously admitted that “Ping Pong Summer” will be a significant departure for him. Describing the film as a “sincere coming-of-age comedy” about a listless young boy’s interest in table tennis and hip-hop, and his life-changing family vacation, Tully has drawn parallels between his script and the 1984 movie, “The Karate Kid,” which shares a similar young-underdog theme. Tully has been working on the idea for the movie since he was in high school, 20 years ago. A Maryland native, he was already spent many summers in Ocean City as a child. “This movie could’ve been made 20 different ways over 20 years,” Tully said Sunday. “Every winter, I would say ‘this is the summer I’m going to do it.’ And then March would roll around and I would have four dollars in my pocket.” Even with outside backing, Tully’s budget is still quite low — under $1.5 million, due largely to the willingness of several key actors, including Sarandon, to work for minimal pay on what was described as an independent “passion project.”

OCEAN CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) The Ocean City Council discussed the following issues during its Sept. 17 meeting at City Hall:

Golf pass implications questioned Former council president and current council candidate Joe Mitrecic requested to speak before council in order to question Councilman Brent Ashley on his inference last week that Mitrecic had unduly used free golf passes available to city officials to give out for promotional purposes. “Mr. Ashley said that he had been called by a constituent about a former council president using a Gold Card at the golf course,” Mitrecic said. “There are five Continued on Page 30

of us still alive, so I would like to ask exactly who that was.” “I’m not going to break the confidence of that source,” Ashley replied. Mitrecic’s name, however, is the only name of a former council president to appear on pass usage records provided by the city’s internal auditor, Susan Childs. Although the records list a Joe Mitrecic “user” name for the passes, it appears that this name may not necessarily be the name of the person who played the round of golf, but the person who made the reservations or who issued the pass to a third party. “I have not used and never used a Gold Card at Eagle’s Landing [the city-run golf course],” Mitrecic said. “Well, that clears it up because someone definitely put your name on the list,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas.

Resort businessman Russo recognized Mayor Rick Meehan presented local businessman Tony Russo with a proclamation from the city declaring Sept. 8, 2012 ‘Tony’s Pizza Day’ to mark the 50th anniversary of Russo’s business. “Tony Russo, owner of Tony’s Pizza, came to the United States with his mother at the age of 19 in November of 1960 from Sicily,” Meehan read. “He only

SEPTEMBER 21, 2012

had a dollar in his pocket and couldn’t speak a lick of English.” Russo opened Tony’s Pizza on 1st Street and the Boardwalk in 1962. He married his wife, Trudy, in 1967, and they eventually had four children. The family business grew to multiple locations over the years, and in 1997 Russo rebuilt the original store into its current configuration, a Boardwalk landmark with a roof deck and seating for almost 800 people. Russo was joined by his son, Tony Jr. “We commend Tony Russo and the entire Russo family for 50 great years in Ocean City – and hopefully 50 more. I’m looking at you, Tony Jr.,” Meehan quipped.

said Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “They are not tied directly to this project [the St. Louis Avenue renovation], though. This project is tied to a certain bond issuance. But we have a fund for general street repairs as well.” “I may be wrong,” Adkins continued, “but I believe your street is one where they replaced the pipe some years ago and the old pipe was abandoned in place, so you may be looking at a cavity forming where we can pump some sort of material in, like concrete.”

Beauty Spot Awards presented

Parks and Recreation Director Tom Shuster asked the council to accept what actually turned out to be the fourth-lowest of six bids for the construction of Northside Park’s outdoor exercise area. “There was a vast range of dollar amounts, which caused me to delve very carefully to see that the bidders were putting in the specifications that we required,” Shuster said. “I determined that three of the bidders, the first three lowest, did not conform with the specifications that we had written out.” The exercise area will consist of two rubber-surfaced concrete slabs, covered by a sunshade, that house nine pieces of workout equipment. Shuster’s requirements involved a certain level of weather resistance and durability for the exercise machines that was apparently not met. Councilman Joe Hall asked how far off the ideal the cheaper bids were. “Pretty much just not what we wanted,” Shuster said.

Ocean City’s Beautification Committee presented their annual Beauty Spot awards, to recognize those who had gone above and beyond in improving the city’s landscape. Judging was based on the creative use of any type of landscaping or container plants. Awards were divided into eight categories: residential, condominium, hotel, commercial, restaurant, retail, Boardwalk, and special recognition.

Sinking streets to be addressed Councilwoman Margaret Pillas asked if the city’s bond issuance to fund renovations on St. Louis Avenue also covered the repair of side streets that are beginning to cave in, including the portion of 8th Street outside her home. “We identified a number of them,”

SHA plans to improve Snow Hill intersection by adding J-turns NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Work on a reconfiguration of the intersection of Routes 113 and 12 in Snow Hill is expected to begin during the fall of 2013, following the Worcester County Commissioners’ push for a higher safety level there. The improvements will be J-turns, which will be used to direct traffic away from the intersection. Instead of crossing Route 113, motorists on Route 12 who wish to continue on Route 12 on the other side of Route 113 would turn right onto Route 113 and then make a later turn left to reach the continuation of Route 12. “It solves the far side accidents,” Matt Allen of Wallace Montgomery, the firm that did the traffic studies and engineering designs, said during Tuesday’s commissioners’ meeting. “That’s what this

configuration solves.” Far side accidents, he said, are those collisions involving vehicles in the median. A driver on Route 12 would reach the intersection, stop and look and proceed to the median, but instead of stopping and looking for approaching traffic again, the drive would continue through the intersection to Route 12. Too often, they would not make it because they would be struck by a vehicle on Route 113. The J-turns eliminate that cross traffic and by doing that, “it eliminates conflict points,” said Rob Hudson, also with Wallace Montgomery. Traffic studies were done in December at the request of the commissioners last year to determine if improvements were warranted at the intersection because of continuing accidents there. From 2001 through 2011, the intersection had 70 crashes involving 145 vehicles,

but Commissioner Virgil Shockley said more than half of those crashes occurred after the State Highway Administration made that section of highway a divided four-lane highway. The work was done to make the highway safer, but Shockley has said often that it did not become safer at that intersection and he has repeatedly argued for an overpass there. The costs of that, however, would be prohibitive, the State Highway Administration has said. The commissioners had been told earlier that a traffic signal was not warranted at the intersection of Routes 113 and 12 because the volume of traffic was not sufficiently high. The most recent traffic studies, conducted at least twice in August, also show a level of traffic that does not warrant a traffic signal. Consequently, the State Highway Administration is recommend-

ing the J-turns. The proposed J-turns would be constructed at the intersections of Route 113 and 12 and also at Routes 113 and Public Landing Road. At the latter intersection, 17 crashes involving 33 vehicles occurred between 2008 and 2011, with 15 of those crashes being “far side” accidents. The State Highway Administration acquired the funding for preliminary engineering and is proceeding with the design of the two projects. Donnie Drewer, traffic engineer of the State Highway Administration, said Jturns would be used for the intersections on the portions of Route 113 remaining to be made into a divided four-lane highway. “That’s what we’re doing on the rest of 113,” Drewer said. “I was hoping we could get an overpass and forget the whole thing,” Shockley said.

Police Protection and the Use of Confidential Informants: I was at home in my condo (when I could still afford to live in my condo in Ocean City), when I got a phone call from a commercial tenant in the building I own at 300 S. Baltimore Ave. “You better get down here quick!” he said, “There [are] a lot of police here. I don’t know what’s going on.” When I arrived within 5-10 minutes, I found five patrol cars on Dorchester Street in front of Mr. Bubbles Laundromat, also one patrol wagon and a plain-clothes car. In all, there were about 10 to 12 more policemen. But the most disconcerting aspect was the fact that two of the policemen had riot guns (shotguns) in the ready position as they stood on the sidewalk by one of the doors to the building. I quickly determined from the officer in charge, who arrived shortly after I did, that they were there at the complaint of a person (or two persons) who were standing across the street, that my part-time employee, James, had brandished an 8-inch hunting knife and how somehow threatened them. It seems the police wanted to go into the building with their shotguns and look for James. I told them I had known James for a long time (years) and I thought the best approach would be for me to go and talk to him and get hime to come down. When I started to put my key in the door lock, the plainclothes policeman asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was attempting to (legally) enter my property. I was grabbed by the plainclothes policeman with both hands by the front of my shirt and thrown with my back up against the wall and held in place. I told him I was unfamiliar with police procedures and I asked, “Is this an arrest?” He said it was not, that he was just “protecting” me. I told him that with all of the police and police weapons on the street, particularly the riot guns held by two young policemen who were overcharged with testosterone, I would feel (and be) much safer in my building. My rights, preferences and requests aside, the two police with riot guns entered my building. When freed, I again talked with the officer who appeared to be in charge and I asked him if he was going to go to court and put the two apparent drug users across the street on the stand, embarrass himself and waste more city money. And I asked why the police were not doing anything to protect me from the two complainants who were now yelling obscenities at me and threatening to kill me. Nothing was done to the two com-

plainants, which I heard were fairly well known to be police informants; one of which had a personal complaint with James regarding the informant’s former wife. James was eventually recovered unharmed and the police were unharmed. James was released and told by one of the riot gun officers not to worry that it was just a “he said, she said thing.” But 12 days later, the other riot gun officer wrote up an arrest warrant which caused James to be violated on is parole and spend two months in jail only to have both assault cases against him dismissed: one, because the complainant refused to testify and the other, when the judge heard the name of the complainant and summarily dismissed the case with no further testimony. Is this an appropriate use of police resources and time (and taxpayer’s money), mobilizing such a large force for an hour and onehalf to respond to a complaint of such doubtful origin? When no weapon — only a 1.5-inch utility knife (not 8-inches as reported) was found, why was an arrest warrant issued? Even more to the point, why weren’t the complainants charged with filing a false police report? And why, if there was no reason to arrest James at the scene, was an arrest warrant issued 12 days later by one of the lower ranking policemen, not the officer in charge? This seems almost like an act of harassment. And why, if I was the one being protected, were the two complainants not arrested for thier outrageous behavior and threats toward me? I leave you to draw your own conclusion. P.S. After the second riot gun officer wrote the arrest warrant, he drove by my building several times a day looking up at my windows. He also rode by on a Segway one or two times a day. With all due respect to OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPino, whom I like and admire, when James called her about this obvious harassment, she agreed to take care of it and the visits ended instantly. The bottom line is that we seem to have too many police with too much time on their hands, who are somewhat uncoordinated. Do we need to reconfigure the number of police we need for summer versus winter and/or do more of our own police work instead of relying on police informants?

New statistics show employment up in Worcester, state NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Worcester County’s unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent in July, a decrease from the 8.5 percent jobless figure recorded for July 2011. Bill Badger, the county’s Economic Development director, attributed the decline to an economy made stronger by job creation. “This is great news and shows we have made substantial progress in our goal to reduce our high unemployment rate and provide quality job opportunities for the citizens of Worcester County,” Badger said. Of the 33,290 men and women who make up the county’s labor force, 30,685 were employed and 2,605 were unemployed in July, according to statistics provided by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. An additional factor in the lower unemployment rate as compared to last year could be the decrease in the number of international students who came to work in the Ocean City area this summer. Due to stricter regulations imposed by the U.S. State Department this year, fewer students were in the resort. In the past, some students could come to the United States to work without having a job lined up in advance. That was not permitted this year. “No question, with the rules changed for the students, I’d say that probably would have impacted [the unemployment rate],” Badger said. Because of Worcester’s dependence on tourism and the hospitality industry for many jobs, its unemployment rate soars in the colder months. In January 2011, the unemployment rate was 18.5 percent and in January 2012, it was 16.9 percent. Badger did not venture a guess as to what it might be in January 2013. “We spike in the shoulder seasons,” Badger said. “The challenge for us as a county is creating full-time jobs that are family-supporting and jobs for recent graduates that they perceive as being career opportunities.” Badger, who was hired as the county’s economic development director last November, expects his department to be able to track employment data better. “We have not yet had a way to track that,” he said. Hooter’s in West Ocean City added 60 new jobs and two new restaurants in Berlin, Siculi and Tex-Mex and Beyond, added several new jobs. Other new businesses have also opened in Berlin and a new Pocomoke business plans to provide about 50 jobs. Employment, Badger said, “is going in the right direction.”

Seahawks start off strong,then ‘self-destruct’

SPORTS BRIEFS

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) The Stephen Decatur Seahawks were fired up when they stepped on the football field against the Kent Island Buccaneers in Stevensville last Friday. It took just nine plays before Decatur was on the board, with a touchdown by junior Andrew Borradaile. “We came out ready to play and everything went great for us in the first six minutes, but after that, we kind of self-destructed,” Decatur Coach Bob Knox said after his squad’s 39-13 loss to Kent Island. “They ran the kickoff back for a touchdown and I think we were kind of in shock.” The score was tied 7-all at the end of the first quarter. Kent Island tacked on 13 points in the second quarter to lead 20-7 at the halftime break. Knox had to move some players around in the second half after Borradaile was sideline with an ankle sprain. The home team led 33-7 at the end of the third quarter. Decatur senior James Mapp scored on a 27-yard run in the final quarter, but Kent Island returned the kickoff for a touchdown. “It was very disappointing. After the second half of the [Sept. 7] Indian River game, I thought we kind of turned a corner and would become a team to be reckoned with, but we took a step back against Kent Island,” Knox said. Mapp led the Decatur offense, rushing 11 times for 82 yards. Junior P.J. Copes carried the ball 10 times and racked up 65 yards. Borradaile earned 15 yards on three carries, before he was injured. Junior Chase Sams recorded 15 tackles and had two receptions for 26 yards. Seniors Colin May and Ryan Kail made 11 and 10 tackles, respectively. Decatur will meet the James M. Bennett Clippers at Wicomico Stadium in Salisbury tonight, Friday. “We’ve got to come out with fire in our bellies,” Knox said. “What ever your job is, each kid has to win every play as individuals. If we can do that, the team will prosper.”

BATTLE OF BERLIN Worcester Prep, Stephen Decatur battle for coveted Ryder Cup

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) The Stephen Decatur and Worcester Prep golf teams have gone head-to-head in an annual “Battle of Berlin” Ryder Cup tournament for the last three years. Decatur, a public school

within the Bayside Conference, won the coveted trophy the first and second year the competition was held. But in 2011, Worcester Prep, a private school in the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, earned the coveted award. Now in its fourth year, the Ryder Cup competition

kicked off Aug. 24, at the Ocean City Golf Club. The teams played 18 holes (nine alternate shot and nine scramble format). Earning a point for Worcester during the alternate shot competition was senior Scott Gee and his partner, freshman Jason See FINAL on Page 37

On Thursday in Berlin against Pocomoke, the Lady Seahawks took the first game 25-9, the second 2513 and secured the win in the third, coming out on top 25-14. “We started strong, then got a little lazy and our communication broke down a little bit,” Decatur Coach Sarah Zimmer said. “Hopefully, the girls will talk, move their feet and have good passes for our setters to set in [Tuesday’s] game.” Senior Casey Ortiz had 12 aces and 11 assists. Junior Taylor Black also re-

Final round of Decatur-Wor. Prep Ryder Cup set for Tuesday Continued from Page 36

Cook and teammates, junior Billy Brittingham senior Patrick Dowling. Scoring a point for Decatur were partners Brooks Holloway and Danny Parker, both sophomores. Sophomore Delaney Iacona and her teammate, junior Audrey Affelder, also earned a point for the Seahawks, to even the score at 2all going into the scramble format competition. Cook and sophomore Rylie Doyle tallied a point for the Worcester Prep Mallards. Parker and junior Andrew Urban and senior Joe Iacona and Affelder tacked on two points to Decatur’s score.

Holloway/D. Iacona and Dowling/senior Bobby Schaeffer tied in their competitions, so each team was awarded half a point. “The first round of the Ryder Cup was awesome. The only part I didn’t like, is that we are losing 4.5-3.5,” Prep Coach Kevin Gates said. “I think the Ryder Cup is the best thing in golf and the fact that our kids get to be a part of this format is something special.” Decatur has a 4.5-3.5 point lead heading into the final round of the Ryder Cup, scheduled for Tuesday at The Links at Light House Sound in Bishopville. Ten golfers from each team will square

off in pairs. “Worcester Prep is a very talented team with a very passionate and dedicated coach,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “We don’t take them lightly or underestimate their power; however, if the Decatur players and the Worcester players all play to the best of their abilities, we will spit shine the trophy this year.” Added Gates, “Whenever we get to play against Stephen Decatur, in anything, it’s intense. I respect Stephen Decatur and love the rivalry. “I’ve heard from both teams, that [the Ryder Cup] is the best part of the season. You can see it in the golfers body lan-

guage,” he said. “It’s the only true team golf event. Most of the time, the kids play as individuals as part of their team. In the Ryder Cup, it’s you versus someone else [man versus man].” Both teams are currently undefeated in their respective conferences. During the first meeting with the Bayside schools on Aug. 28, Worcester came in third place with a 169. Washington earned second-place honors, shooting a 168, and Decatur topped the field with a 152. The Prep squad was scheduled to compete with the Bayside schools again on Sept. 18, but the match was rained out.

Decatur Seahawks shut out N. Dorchester Eagles LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Stephen Decatur sophomore Mallory Rolleston (25) competes for the ball with a North Dorchester player during Monday’s game in Berlin. Rolleston scored one goal in Decatur’s 9-0 shutout.

(Sept. 21, 2012) The Stephen Decatur field hockey team scored two goals in the first half of Monday’s game against the North Dorchester Eagles in Berlin and tacked on seven more in the second to earn a 9-0 shut out. “I think the first half they were just so excited to score that everyone was literally in the goal,” said Decatur Coach Michelle Fluty. “Finally, when we spread it out, we were able to move the ball around, open it up and create opportunities for ourselves.” Junior Erin Florek scored eight minutes into the game. Addie Rippin, a junior, boosted the Lady Seahawks lead to 2-0 12 minutes later. “I told the girls going into the second half that I really wasn’t proud of the first half. I thought we were sloppy and it wasn’t the best we’ve played,” Fluty said. “They turned it around the second half and played how I know they could.”

Rippin gave Decatur a 3-0 advantage 1:30 into the second half. Junior Cassidy Remmell scored three backto-back goals to increase the home team’s lead to 6-0. Freshman Hannah FauntLeRoy, Rippin and sophomore Mallory Rolleston netted shots in final eight minutes of the second half. “The second half, we finally started playing together as a team. We’ve been working on movement in the circle and talking to each other in the midfield to advance the ball up the field … and we actually put it all together and we came out on top, which is a really good feeling,” Fluty said. “It was a team effort. Everyone got to play and everyone contributed.” Remmell and Rippin each recorded hat tricks, and Florek, FauntLeRoy and Rolleston scored one goal apiece. On Monday, the James M. Bennett Clippers are scheduled to travel to Berlin for a 4 p.m. game against the Seahawks.

Waterfowl hunting season dates set by Maryland DNR (Sept. 21, 2012) The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has reviewed public input and finalized the State’s 20122013 late waterfowl hunting seasons. “As always, public input helps guide our decisions,” said Paul Peditto, director of DNR’s Wildlife and Heritage Service. “The individuals who took the time to attend our public meeting or provide comments through our online forum should be commended.” DNR established waterfowl hunting seasons within federal framework after reviewing public input and consulting with members of the Wildlife Advisory Commission and Maryland Migratory Game Bird Advisory Committee. Featured 2012-2013 hunting opportunities: ■ Duck Season will be 60 days in three segments: Oct. 13-20, Nov. 10-23, and Dec.11-Jan. 26. The daily bag limit is six per day. “Open-water diving duck hunting has the potential to be very good this year,” said Larry Hindman, DNR’s waterfowl project leader. “Breeding populations of diving ducks such as scaup, canvasbacks, and redheads are high and the increase in the scaup daily bag limit to four per day will create more hunting opportunity.” The continental scaup breeding population estimate increased for the seventh straight year reaching 5.2 million this spring, a 21 percent increase above last year’s estimate. ■ Atlantic Population Canada geese season has increased from 45 to 50 days and is split in two segments: Nov. 17-23, and Dec. 11-Jan. 30. The daily bag limit is two per day. The 2012 spring breeding pair survey of AP Canada geese totaled 190,300 pairs, similar to the 2011 index of 216,000 pairs. “Despite average habitat and weather conditions on key AP goose breeding areas, banding crews recently reported that gosling production was above average along the Hudson Bay coast,” said Hindman. “This represents a meaningful improvement over the poor conditions of 2011.” ■ National Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days will be held on Nov. 3, and Feb. 9, 2013. Participating youth hunters must be 15 years old or younger and must be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old who possesses a current Maryland hunting license or is exempt from the hunting license requirement. The adult accompanying the youth hunter(s) may not possess a hunting weapon and may not participate in other seasons that are open on the youth waterfowl hunting days. All migratory game bird hunters, including landowners who are license-exempt, are required to purchase the Maryland Migratory Game Bird Stamp/HIP permit. All waterfowl hunters ages 16 and older must possess the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (federal duck stamp). Hunting licenses and stamps may be purchased online at dnr.maryland.gov/service/license.asp or by phone at 1-800-918-2870. These services compleSee FEDERAL on Page 40

Decatur-Queen Anne’s battle ends in tie LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) Competitions between the Stephen Decatur and Queen Anne’s girls’ soccer teams are typically tight battles each time the squads go head-to-head. Last Friday’s game in Centreville was no different, as the game ended in a 1-1 tie after 100 minutes of play. The visiting Lady Seahawks scored in the first half. Senior Tori Whigham knocked the ball in the goal off a Lexi McDonough corner kick. The Lions evened the score at 1-all about 10 minutes into the second half.

“We had many scoring opportunities in the second half, but just couldn’t capitalize on any of them. Shots were to the keeper, off the crossbar, or not on goal,” said Seahawk Coach Misty Bunting. The score was still tied at the end of regulation, so the teams played two 10-minute overtime periods. Neither team scored so the game ended in a draw. “We definitely dominated, we just couldn’t put the ball in the net,” Bunting said. “The team played very well, though. It was an aggressive game as we knew it would be and the girls worked really well together on the field.”

Bunting said junior goalie Ashley DePaul made several key saves. She stopped 15 Lions’ shots. Tuesday’s game against the Kent Island Buccaneers was postponed because of rain, so the Seahawks’ only match this week is today, Friday. Decatur will take a trip down the road to play Worcester County rivals, the Snow Hill Eagles. “We will need to limit our touches and have more team movement off of the ball,” Bunting said. “In addition, we will need to be more selective with our shots. We had a problem with that in the game against Queen Anne’s.”

Zimmer to call a timeout. Points were traded, but Decatur came out ahead in the end, 25-21. The Seahawks outscored the Indians 25-10 in the third game to clench the victory. “The first game, we came out strong and we were communicating and seemed comfortable. I think the second

game, we got too comfortable and kind of lost the communication,” Zimmer said. “The third game, we were able to kind of push through and get it back.” Ortiz and VanBruggen recorded seven and six kills respectively. Martinek had six aces and 13 digs. Ortiz and senior Ashley Trice, who was sidelined last week with illness,

each tallied eight assists. “Last week was rough because Ashley Trice was out, but this week we got back into a groove,” Zimmer said. “All the girls did a good job picking up some balls that probably should have fallen. Overall, we did well.” Decatur’s next match is set for Tuesday against the Parkside Rams in Salisbury.

Decatur boys fall 5-1 to Easton Warriors; coach disappointed LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team uncharacteristically gave up five goals on Monday, falling 51 to the Easton Warriors at home in Berlin. “I don’t know what the problem was. We were not ourselves. We had good practices Thursday and Friday, but the stuff we worked on at practice, we didn’t do in the game,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “We were just flat and I think we were a little overconfident. We’re dealing with the demons from last year, when we just rolled.” Easton scored 25 minutes into the game and tallied a second goal just two minutes later. The Warriors netted a penalty kick just before the halftime break to secure a 3-0 lead. Decatur junior David Bernal-Clark cut Easton’s advantage to two with about 26 minutes remaining in the contest. “We were only down two goals, so I thought we’ll get right back into this,” Greenwood said. Unfortunately, he said, Bernal-Clark’s goal didn’t light a spark and Easton tacked on two additional goals to win by four. Decatur junior Logan Thumma played in goal the first 13 minutes of the

game and recorded two saves. Sophomore Sean Colgan took over in the net and stopped 10 Warriors’ shots. “I was disappointed. I’m kind of miffed. I don’t know what our dilemma is,” Greenwood said after the match. “There’s going to be some big changes. We need to find our direction and hopefully, it’s up.” Decatur is scheduled to compete on the road Wednesday against the Pocomoke Warriors.

Decatur cross country teams win Sept. 14 meet Girls earn 1-point victory over JMB; boys’ top six runners edge out Parkside LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) Both the Stephen Decatur girls’ and boys’ cross country teams won the Sept. 14 seven-school meet on Parkside’s track in Salisbury. The Lady Seahawks scored 31 points. James M. Bennett finished close behind with 32 points.

“I’m happy we had someone to push us,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “I thought we did well. It’s a new course, so it was our first time running it.” Leading Decatur to victory was senior Lauren Buckman, who crossed the finish line second overall. Also contributing were juniors Chloe FauntLeRoy (third), Alex Tushup (fifth), Alex Saunders (10th) and sophomore Jordan Klebe (13th). The Decatur and Parkside boys’ teams each scored 55 points. The Seahawks were deemed the winner because the squad’s sixth runner finished ahead of Parkside’s No. 6 runner.

Decatur’s top five athletes to cross the finish line were sophomore Jake Gaddis (ninth overall), senior Kyle Kelly (11th), junior Kevin Herbert (12th), senior Dan Winters (13th) and junior John Niedfeldt (15th). Decatur’s sixth runner, junior Andrew Bradshaw, was 19th overall. Parkside’s No. 5 and No. 6 runners completed the race after him. “We did pretty good, but I thought we could have run stronger,” Stigler said. “It was our second meet in three days so that was also tough.” The next cross country meet is scheduled for Tuesday in Easton.

(Sept. 21, 2012) The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has designated Northside Park and the Chicago Avenue Boardwalk in Ocean City licensefree fishing areas. These additions bring the state’s free fishing spots up to 23. “Free fishing areas are convenient places for anyone looking to experience Maryland’s excellent angling opportunities, and maybe even consider taking up the sport,” said DNR Fisheries Service Director Tom O’Connell. “These areas provide anglers with an affordable way to get outdoors and spend quality time with one another and their natural world.” Northside Park is located where 125th Street meets Assawoman Bay, and features a fishing pier, concessions, playgrounds, a picnic area, walking paths, playing fields and a sports center. The Chicago Avenue Boardwalk, between Second and Fourth streets, has metered parking, wheelchair access, and a fish cleaning station. Anglers ages16 and older, who would like to utilize free fishing areas without a license, must register with the state (at no cost) by calling 855-855-3906 or online at https://compass.dnr.maryland.gov/dnrcompassportal.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

According to NAR, home inventory down LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) In a news release issued by the National Association of Realtors earlier this month, a new statistical measurement shows the typical amount of time it takes to sell a home is shrinking, well below the cyclical peak reached in 2009. It was also reported that nationally, the median time a home was listed for sale on the market was 69 days in July, down 29.6 percent from 98 days in July 2011. But in Worcester County, our numbers are quite different at 180 agent days on market for single-family homes over the past year as of August 2012. The other important measure, though, is total supply of homes on the market at the current sales pace. Nationally, at the end July, there was a 6.4-month supply of homes on the market at the current sales pace, which is 31.2 percent below a year ago when there was a 9.3-month supply. Our local figures for Worcester County are similar in the percentage drop, but we are carrying a higher supply than the national average — at the end of August, there was a 12month supply of homes on the market at the current sales pace, which represents a 33 percent drop over a year ago. NAR’s chief economist, Lawrence Yun, said there is a clear relationship between inventory supply and time on market. “As inventory has tightened, homes have been selling more quickly,” he said. “A notable shortening of time on market began this spring, and this has created a general balance between homebuyers and sellers in much of the country. This equilibrium is supporting sustained price growth, and homes that are correctly priced tend to sell quickly, while those that aren’t often languish on the market.” See NAR on Page 47

BDWK. BREWERY ON TAP Local businessman wants to begin offering beer next summer ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) Few businessmen are aware they’re creating an iconic brand at the time in which they do so — John Pemberton certainly didn’t realize it when he began developing Coca-Cola in 1886, and died just two years later. But in the digital age, when popularity comes fast and furious, greater aspirations abound. “I want them to be brewing this stuff 100 years from now,” local bar owner Danny Robinson said about his designs to begin brewing Ocean City’s own signature brand of beer — right on the Boardwalk. “OC’s beer has to be brewed on the beach, on the Boardwalk,” Robinson said. “At 40 years old, I get to spend every day on the Boardwalk and make a living out of it. The Boardwalk has been really good to me.” Dubbed Shorebilly Brewing Company, in reference to the uniquely laid-back lifestyle Robinson feels the Eastern Shore promotes, the brewery will make and serve small, oneoff batches of beer beginning in the summer of 2013. Robinson is a veteran of the city’s bar and restaurant scene, and currently owns three downtown hotspots —Pickle’s Pub, on Philadelphia Avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets, Hammerheads, on the Boardwalk between Ninth and 10th streets and Guido’s Burritos, on the Boards between North Division and First streets. When the Dip n’ Dots shop that had occupied the storefront next to Hammerheads moved out, Robinson jumped at the chance to rent the space, even though he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with it. Robinson came up with a flurry of ideas to keep the space making money, some of which were more sound than others. “It got to the point where I would walk into the city Planning Department, and everyone would gather around like, ‘What’s he going to come up with this time?’” Robinson said. His proudest concept — the installation of a mechanical bull — was solidly rejected. “It would’ve been huge, though,” Robinson quipped. In the end, Robinson de-

cided to install the Waffle Shack, “home of the hot-waffle ice cream sandwich,” as a money-maker to get him through the summer. But next month, he’ll begin tearing out the ice cream equipment in order to turn the space into what he’s decided on as a longterm project — Shorebilly. Robinson’s plan, in order to maintain a lively variety of beer types and flavors, is to run a “Charity on Tap” promotion. Local charities, as suggested by Robinson’s patrons, will be offered to design their own beer recipe and have the profits of the resulting keg donated to their cause. A new beer, and a new cause, will be featured each week. At the same time, Robinson plans to design a few “flagship” beers whose production will eventually be outsourced, due to the Boardwalk’s space constraints, so that the beer can be distributed en masse. “What we make at the brewery will be available at the brewery, and then one or two flagship flavors, will be available to anyone who wants it in their bar,” Robinson said, adding that he has already gotten a strong response from other local bars who have offered to carry the beer as soon as he can get it made. Much of Robinson’s business plan relies on “crowdsourcing,” i.e. soliciting a mass audience for ideas and contributions. “People don’t just enjoy stuff these days, they want to participate as well,” Robinson said. He plans to install a webcam during construction that will allow viewers to see the brewery being built and provide

their own input to the design. “I could just ask, ‘Do you want the bar to face this way, or this way?’ and people would let me know what they’d want,” Robinson said. Besides suggestions for charity promotions and building design, Robinson has also been soliciting online for logo art, which he expects to produce something better and cheaper than would be done through traditional channels. “I could pay some advertising company in DC $100,000 to do it, but what would I really get?” he asked. “I just have this feeling that somebody local is going to nail it.” Robinson also has some even more ambitious plans that, while not definite yet, he fully expects to come to fruition. One is his current renovation of a 1966 Volkswagen bus into a small bar, which he hopes to park on the deck of the brewery during the summer. Another is Robinson’s design for the Shorebilly’s bottling. Although the first year’s beer will be done entirely in kegs for bars and restaurants, Robinson anticipates being able to distribute single-serving containers in the following seasons. And when he does, his ambition is to bring back the “conetop can” — a design that was prominent early in American beverage history, but died out after the World War II. The container consists of a metal can with a peaked, funnel-shaped top, sealed with a bottle cap. “If it [Shorebilly’s distribution] extends past this area, it’s only going to benefit the town as a whole,” Robinson said.

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) Ron Gossard thought about opening a shop, featuring stand up paddleboards and accessories, but it wasn’t until he met Sandy and Beth Deeley that his dream became a reality. The trio were offering lessons and taking people out on excursions on their own. All three are interested in racing. They met last summer during a paddleboarding competition and quickly became friends. They paddled together throughout the winter. Gossard, who has been participating in the sport for less than two years, is currently ranked No. 1 on the East Coast in the 12 foot 6 inch board division. He is sponsored by BOGA Paddleboards, based in Grass Valley, Calif. The Deeleys have been paddleboarding for about four years. Sandy Deeley, 62, is tied for the top paddleboarder spot in the men’s 50 and older division (14-foot board). Gossard talked to the couple about his idea for a store and they jumped on board. They opened Walk on Water Stand Up Paddle Company in Assateague Square, off Route 611 in West Ocean City, on July 4. “Without them, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” Gossard said. Deeley said the business grew quickly. “We got so busy so fast,” she said. “It’s been phenomenal. We’ve had incredible support from the community.” Last week they logged 20 hours on the water, offering demonstrations, lessons and excursions. “Everyone wants to try it,” she said.

NAR’s forecast is that median existing home prices will rise 4.5 to 5 percent in 2012 and about 5 percent in 2013. “This is somewhat stronger than historic norms because of the inventory shortfall that is most pronounced in the low price ranges,” Yun said. “Ironically, if housing construction doesn’t pick up to normal levels within two years, supply shortages could be sustained for an extended period and lead to above average appreciation,” he said.

The trio offer private and group lessons, excursions and paddleboard rentals. On Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m. a free introduction to paddleboarding class is available. “We want to introduce people to paddling in the right way,” Deeley said. Last week 11 paddleboarding beginners participated and the week before, there were 18 in the class. “We have a 90-percent return rate after people try it the first time,” she said. “What I like about the sport is that you can pull 10 people off the street from all walks of life and within 10 minutes they’re all having a blast. Our goal is to make sure people have the best experience so they want to do it more.” Gossard said paddleboarding is for men, women and children of all ages, sizes and abilities. “Most people say, ‘That was easier than I thought,” he said. “I don’t think anyone has not been able to do it.” Walk on Water recently partnered with West Ocean City Fitness. Paddleboarding classes are offered through the gym, which include introduction to the sport, yogalates, power paddle and core board. Nearly two-dozen paddleboards, ranging in size from 9 feet 2 inches to 14 feet, for flat water, wave riding and racing, are on display in the store. Gossard and the Deeleys will matches each customer with the board that best suits his or her needs. They will take customers out on the water to test a few boards to see which works best. “There aren’t any stores around here specializing in this,” Deeley said. “We never let anyone leave the store without a demo and [knowledge] of proper pad-

SUNFEST KITE FESTIVAL

Arts and crafts, food fill three tents, midway area at Sunfest LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) Vendors selling arts and crafts, food and other merchandise started setting up their booths early this week at the inlet parking lot for the 38th annual Sunfest festival, which kicked off Thursday morning and will run through Sunday evening. Thousands of arts and crafts will be available during the four-day festival, including pottery and ceramics, carvings, handcrafted jewelry, photography, paintings, candles, soaps, pet products, clothing and apparel, home and garden items, woodwork and metal ware. More than 180 vendors will fill two arts and crafts tents. Twelve artists have again been selected to demonstrate their techniques in the midway section of the festival. Anita Chapman, of Anita’s Country Keepsakes, based in West Virginia, has participated in the festival for about 15 years. “I love this show. I love that it’s on the beach. It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “We make it a working family vacation.” Chapman is a self-taught artist, and her husband, Brad, is a wood craftsmen. He builds the furniture, she paints it. They will also offer wall paintSee UNIQUE on Page 58

Michaels, Lonestar headline Sunfest Main Stage LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

BRET MICHAELS

(Sept. 21, 2012) Musical entertainment during the 38th annual Sunfest celebration this weekend will range from country to rock ‘n’ roll and reggae, featuring headlining acts, Sha Na Na, Lonestar and Bret Michaels. “We’re bringing back some of our favorites, but we also have some new acts that are really good,” said Tom Shuster, director of the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department. Sha Na Na was scheduled to perform Thursday under the big tent. Multi-platinum country music group, Lonestar, is scheduled to entertain the Sunfest crowd tonight, Friday. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range

from $20 to $45. The band is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and has reunited with original lead singer Richie McDonald, who left the group in 2007 for a solo career. He joins keyboardist Dean Sams, drummer Keech Rainwater and lead guitarist Michael Britt. They performed their first concert together overseas earlier this year and have been toured the United States this summer. Lonestar recently released a new single, “The Countdown.” The group has 10 No. 1 country hits, including “No News,” “Come Crying To Me” and “Amazed,” which topped the country and pop charts. Awards include a 1999 ACM Single of the Year for “Amazed,” which also won Song of the Year, and the 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year. The band, formed in Nashville in 1992, is currently working on a new album, expected to be released in October on its own label, 4 Star Records. Rocker Bret Michaels will take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday.

“I’ve been to Ocean City quite a few times and I always love it down there. Between the beach, the people and the fun vibe, it’s always a great time,” Michaels told Ocean City Today in an e-mail. Tickets for the show cost $25-$55, and as of Tuesday, a limited number were still available. “I’m definitely looking forward to heading back for Sunfest, myself and my band have a lot of family there and everyone’s coming. It’s gonna be a huge reunion/party,” Michaels wrote. Unfortunately, with his busy tour schedule, Michaels said he will only be in Ocean City for the day of the show — traveling directly from Atlantic City, N.J., where will perform tonight, Friday. He has a show in Webster, Mass., on Sunday. “But I will for sure enjoy the town and the festival while I’m in Ocean City, and hopefully I’ll be able to sneak in some beach time,” he said. Michaels is looking forward to performing in the resort. He was scheduled to entertain the crowd during Sunfest 2011, but had to cancel due to a scheduling conflict. “I didn’t get to perform in Ocean City last year, so this time around, I’m definitely looking forward to coming back and making it up to the fans and then some,” he said. “My fans rock my world. They are everything to me, and without them I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. I never want to reschedule a show, and I am going to for sure make it up to them this time around.” Michaels said he will play all of his hits, as well as material from his upcoming album, “Bret Michaels and Friends,” which is slated for a Nov. 20 release. “We’re just going to be putting in 1,000 percent to make it a show to remember,” he said. For those attending, Michaels said he is “going to throw a huge party for the fans and you never know what could happen.” “It’s going to be nothing but a good time and I hope to see you all out there,” he said. Michaels soared to stardom as the front man of 1980s rock band, Poison. Ten of the group’s singles made the charts, including No. 1 hit, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” Other top songs include “Nothin’ But A Good Time,” “Talk Dirty To Me” and “Something to Believe In.” In addition to the band’s accomplishments, Michaels has had an equally successful solo career. His most recent album, “Custom Built,” released in July See COUNTRY on Page 62

Visitors can sample Asian, Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, seafood, salads, hot dogs, hamburgers, pit-cooked ham, pizza, chicken, crab cakes, ribs ice cream, funnel cakes and cookies, among other treats. Gourmet vendors selling fudge, nuts, candies, wine slushies, and other items, and commercial vendors will be located in the midway section of Sunfest. This year’s musical entertainment will range from country to rock ‘n’ roll. Admission is free, although tickets are required for the main stage headlining acts. Sha Na Na was scheduled to perform Thursday. Tonight at 8 p.m., country band Lonestar will take the stage. Ticket prices range from $20 to $45. Bret Michaels will rock the crowd at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets cost $25-$55. If tickets for Lonestar and Michaels have not sold out, they may be purchased on site at the festival grounds. Sunfest is for all ages. Children may take part in an assortment of activities, including interactive inflatables on the beach, a rock-climbing wall, sand art and temporary airbrush tattoos. Hayrides on the beach are also available. Park Place Jewelers will hold its third annual Treasure Hunt at the Beach on Sat-

urday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Those 18 and older who are interested in digging for treasure must register in advance at Park Place Jewelers on the Boardwalk between Second and Third streets or at the West Ocean City store in the White Marlin Mall. Participants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, and space is limited to 100 for each hunt. A $10 donation from each participant will benefit the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation. There are three resort facilities — Ocean City at 28th and 66th streets and in Fenwick Island, Del. — that provide ill children and their families a chance to vacation at the beach, during a time when they might not otherwise be able to afford a getaway on the coast. Fifty pouches will be buried in the sand during each treasure hunt. Those who find one must then visit the Boardwalk store to claim their prize. One prize per person. Prizes include silver and gold jewelry, gemstones, Pandora bracelet, diamond earrings and gift certificates to area restaurants and retail stores. “There’s a one-in-two chance you’ll win something,” said Park Place Jewelers owner Todd Ferrante. “For us, it’s a fun event, but it’s also for charity.” If any buried pouches are not found, participants will compete in a trivia contest to win the remaining prizes. Recently, readers of Maryland Life Magazine selected Sunfest as the 2012 Free State’s Finest Best Festival in the Lower Eastern Shore region of Maryland.

“We continue to get a lot of recognition,” said Tom Shuster, director of the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department. “We work very hard to make Sunfest a great festival.” In 2010 and 2011, Sunfest was rated the best Traditional and Contemporary Arts and Crafts Show in the country by Sunshine Artist, “America’s Premiere Show and Festival Magazine.” The rankings are based on audit reports, reader surveys and anecdotal reports from participating exhibitors. For 2012, Sunfest has been rated No. 2. The drop could be the result of rain that fell on the 37th annual celebration last year. Overall attendance for the four-day 2011 festival was 154,507, a 7-percent decrease from the 2010 event. “No. 2 is great and we can always get No. 1 back if the vendors have a good year,” Shuster said. “Rain does affect sales.” Although Sunfest dropped from first to second, Shuster was pleased to announce that Springfest, the resort’s annual spring festival in May, moved up from a No. 10 ranking in 2011 to No. 5 this year. “We have two festivals in the top five, which is great,” he said. “Vendors enjoy participating and visitors love to come to the festivals.” Sunfest hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., today and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Parking is restricted at Sunfest. Visitors are urged to use one of the park-and-ride locations and take the bus to the festival grounds. The Boardwalk tram will also

offer service daily. There will be an express trolley shuttle from the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street to the Sunfest grounds. For more information, call 410-2500125 or 1-800-626-2326 or visit www.ococean.com.

Parking restricted at inlet, limited downtown Parking is restricted at the Sunfest festival grounds, located in the Ocean City inlet lot, so it is advised visitors take advantage of the town’s park and ride services. The West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50, just west of the bridge, provides a convenient location for attendees with free parking and shuttle service to and from the South Transit Center on South Division Street, one block from Sunfest. Shuttle service costs $1 per boarding or $3 ride all day. Express trolley service is also available at the convention center on 40th Street, where visitors may park for free in the south lot and ride the trolley directly to Sunfest. Fare costs $3 ride all day or $1 per boarding, as is the normal bus fare service. Additional park and ride locations are also located at the Public Safety Building on 65th Street, the municipal lot at 100th Street and Northside Park at 125th Street (walk to bus stop on Coastal Highway).

Much deserved tranquility is reflected under boundless blue sky. Trees and leaves exchange conversation; after all, farewell is in store for the near future. Mother Nature senses the kids are back at school and decides to lower the temperature a tad. The hustle and bustle of the summer is over and now is the time to be with myself. Distractions can no longer shadow decisions that must come to the forefront. The journey of purpose is on the horizon. But in the meantime, my stomach signals the familiar tune, “I am starved.” It senses the time has come to venture to the Boardwalk for my annual “pig-out day.” Visions of french fries, pizza, funnel cake, ice cream and lemonade play havoc on the gas pedal. It does not take long to reach Ocean City’s Boardwalk. I’m going to savor this whole experience. After all, I have only been waiting 364 days for this occasion.

This massive ocean has many faces. Right now, we are seeing the fun and tranquil side. Life, too, has many facades. The yin-yang of reality can be cruel, but I dearly hope it is good to her. Comprehension at the age of four is just commencing. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. I signal it’s time to leave. Ashley’s tiny feet get consumed by the white, silky powder. As we trudge ahead, the aroma of potatoes sizzling in peanut oil tickles our tastes buds. The pungent zing of vinegar will be my choice of condiment; Ashley informs me she prefers ketchup. Not a word was spoken. Just two generations of the Walker family munching on french fries. Vinegar versus ketchup signifies the difference of age. However, there is one ingredient that will keep Ashley dear to my heart. No matter where destiny takes us, I will always remember the special times we shared together and love her dearly. It was at that moment a chocolate Lab

puppy approached me, stood on his hind legs, and demanded my utmost attention. I could not resist showering him with affection, present-day just washed ashore. In the meantime, the grumbling in my stomach had erupted and my first stop is going to be french fries. I can hear the crackling of the hot oil as it cooks the fries. The line is dwindling down and soon I will be able to devour my first course. I have a few girlfriends coming over this weekend and I have been trying to come up with an alternative to tortilla chips and salsa. As I am standing in line it suddenly dawns on me, how about “veggie fries” with marinara dipping sauce? Panko breadcrumbs will ensure crispiness and the marinara sauce is a refreshing change. My menu is finalized and the girls will love it. Oops, I’m next in line and must go. See you next week. Veggie Fries 1 small raw yellow squash 1 small zucchini 1/2 eggplant *salt eggplant fries for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly to remove the bitterness) 3/4 cup flour 1 1/2 cups plain panko breadcrumbs 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons water 8 to 10 cups canola oil, depending on the size of sauté pan wire racks kosher salt, fresh ground pepper to taste 1.

Three-day bluegrass celebration kicks off this evening in Berlin NATHAN BRUNET ■ Bayside Gazette Staff Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) The Grammy-nominated band Audie Blaylock and Redline will headline the first night of this year’s Berlin Fiddlers Convention, a three-day celebration of bluegrass music starting this Friday, Sept. 21. As it is the 20th anniversary of the event, the weekend will honor festival founder the late Jim Barrett. Each year over the past two decades, the weekend brings thousands of bluegrass enthusiasts to Main Street to listen to more than 20 solo bluegrass musicians and bands from around the country at no cost. Barrett, who passed away in 2004, was a well-known community booster and businessman through the Barrett Chevrolet dealership. The idea to start a fiddlers convention

was sparked after Barrett and his wife, Nancy, went to visit their son, Stephen, at college in West Virginia. “They came to visit for a parents’ weekend, and as they were driving back home, they passed an ongoing fiddlers convention on the road,” said Stephen Barrett, who now runs Barrett Chevrolet with his brothers Russ and John. “Out of curiosity, they went to the convention and ended up staying the night. After their experience, they knew it would be a good event to bring to Berlin,” he said. Along with the numerous nods to Jim Barrett that will occur over the weekend, careful observers of the event’s poster will find his face painted on the orange moon in the background. “It’s a great honor for him to be recognized this weekend,” Stephen said. After winning last year’s best band

competition, Blue Crab Crossing from Westover, Md. earned the right to open the festival on Friday at 7 p.m. Audie Blaylock and Redline will then take the stage from 8-10 p.m. The fourpiece band has recorded three albums and earned a Grammy Award nomination of Best Bluegrass Album for its record, “A Tribute to Jimmy Martin: The King of Bluegrass.” The band has played on stage with legendary bluegrass bands the Lynn Morris Band and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper. The band’s performance is a return to the stage for one member, fiddler Patrick McAvinue. When he was a child, McAvinue took part in the yearly Saturday competition that gives thousands of dollars of cash prizes to participants. “I was really happy to hear that I was coming back,” he said. “It’s good to come

see good friends and see how the event has grown.” The fiddler will also play another role in the festival as a judge in Saturday’s competition. Registration for all participants will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, and there is no fee to sign up. Awards will be given in six categories: adult fiddle, youth fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and bluegrass band. After a repeat performance from Audie Blaylock and Redline at 11 a.m., the competition will begin at noon and last until the awards ceremony at 5 p.m. Among expected bands to participate is Lower Case Blues from Newark, Md., who has played many shows in the area. The band performed at Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Del. this summer, which was headlined by The Killers, The Black See FIDDLERS on Page 57

Keys and Jack White. One member of another band expected to perform is a third generation relative of local musician Frank Nanna’s family. Youngster Frankie Nanna is guitarist of the Psycho Exploding Orangutans, a band consisting of four musicians between 10 and 13 years old. The band’s fiddler Andrew Vogt is featured as the young boy drawn on the event’s poster. Though Frank Nanna and Friends will not play at this year’s festival, the elder Frank was instrumental in booking bands this year, as he has done each year since the festival’s inception. On Sunday, the festival will culminate in the Bluegrass Gospel Jam at the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum on North Main Street from 11 a.m. until the musicians are too tired to pluck another string.

Beach Bash, raffle and races to benefit Believe inTomorrow LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 21, 2012) The Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation has three activities planned over the next few days—a 5k run/walk, a gas card raffle drawing and the annual Beach Bash—in and around the resort area. All three events will benefit Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Respite Housing Program, which provides critically ill children and their families a much-needed getaway to the beach from the everyday stresses of a child’s medical illness. There are three resort facilities: a four-unit apartment building on 66th Street; a house on the bay at 28th Street, the first respite house in the country to focus on the needs of military pediatrics; and a townhouse in Fenwick Island, Del. Money raised will help pay for monthly expenses and upkeep of the organization’s facilities, as well as help fund activities such as cookouts for the children and their families who stay at one of the houses. Rarely is there a time when the facilities are empty. Six families fill the houses each week throughout the summer. Wayne Littleton, program coordinator for the beach Respite Housing Program, said approximately 80 families (between 300 and 400 people) stayed at one of the houses from Memorial Day through Labor Day this summer. In the off-season — the winter, spring and fall — at least three or four families on average stay at the facilities each week. ■ BEACH RESPITE 5K: On Sunday, the organization’s third See THIRTY on Page 65

We travel all over the eastern United States, and we have been as far west as Colorado doing shows,” she said. “I am very excited about Sunfest. It starts our fall season off right.” Anne Mazzocchi of New Jersey, who has been making children’s clothing and accessories for 25 years, has been a Sunfest vendor for a decade. She designed and sewed clothing for her four daughters throughout their childhood and when they had children, she made outfits for her eight grandchildren. Her business, Grannie Annie, has many loyal followers who come back year after year to visit her at the festival and purchase new products. “[Sunfest] is professionally run, it’s very organizers and there’s a high quality of vendors. It [draws] a great crowd,” Mazzocchi said. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s such a great venue with lots to do for all members of the family. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous and that’s the most important thing.” This year, Mazzocchi will have coats, hats, jackets and dresses available at her booth. Mazzocchi said her specialty is making quilted jackets. Sizes range from

Valerie Lynch-Beaudin and her Onóra Island Treasure Boxes company, based in Panama City, Fla., will make their Sunfest debut. She has participated in its sister show, Springfest, held in May, for two years and said she loved how organized it is and its promoters are great to work with. She heard about Sunfest’s “wonderful reputation” and is thrilled to be a vendor.

“‘Excited’ would be an understatement. There are quality vendors that have applied to this show for over five years and still cannot get in,” she said. “[Sunfest organizers] search for high quality arts/crafts to bring to the Maryland area.” Lynch-Beaudin and her husband make handcrafted Celtic Treasure Boxes and have done so for four years.

many, ‘You have to try for Sunfest. It’s an amazing show.’ “My sister-in-law and niece really are the ones that shared their excitement the most about the event,” she said. “Having been going to Ocean City for years they told me that my boats would be a great fit.” Wirsching started her business, Art Sea, in 2011. She will display her one-ofa-kind driftwood sailboats during the festival. Wirsching uses driftwood she’s collected from the Maryland and Delaware shores. Each piece is matched to a driftwood mast and fabric is handsewn to create the sail. She also takes sugar starfish, hand-paints and adorned them with sunglasses and accessories, such as a Pepsi bottle or martini glass and attaches a magnet and string for it to be hung. Wirsching will feature seaglass art on canvas, as well. “I am thrilled to have been selected by the Sunfest committee to have the privilege to be a vendor at the show. I know its difficult to get in and I can only say that when I got accepted I was like a kid in the toy store,” she said. “My boats have made it across the country to California and even one to Brazil … I am thrilled to be building my business and look forward to a wonderful experience at Sunfest.”

Valerie Lynch-Beaudin of Panama City, Fla., will debut her handcrafted Celtic Treasure Boxes at Sunfest this weekend at the inlet parking lot.

Strolling through the festival grounds can make visitors work up an appetite. More than two-dozen vendors will be offering an assortment of dishes under the food tent. On the menu this year will be exotic and traditional fare, including crab fluffs, fried oysters, jumbo turkey legs, fried alligator, gyros, blooming onion petals, North Carolina barbecue, seafood, hot

dogs, burgers, fries, pizza, chicken and ribs. To satisfy that sweet tooth, try ice cream, funnel cakes, deep-fried Twinkies, cheesecake on a stick, cinnamon roasted almonds and cookies. The midway section on the festival grounds will feature with more than 60 commercial and gourmet food vendors selling their merchandise.

tors and kite flyers alike gather on the beach at Sixth Street and on cue, launch their kites. This year, there will be a “Kids Kite Fly.” At 1 p.m. on Saturday, organizers will hand out free kites to the first 100 children, and then help them assemble and launch the kites. Only kids between the ages of 5 a 12 are eligible for the free kite. Participants are encouraged to arrive at the Kite Loft on Fifth Street by 12:30 p.m. There will also be a Giant Kite Air Extravaganza presented by regional flyers. One of the giant kites showcased this year will be “Mel, the Giant Blue Whale,” a kite, made in New Zealand and flown by Jeff and Joyce King of Annapolis, that measures more than 100 feet long. In addition, there will be quad line demos throughout the festival. Quad kites are four line kites flown in formation, much like the Thunderbirds. Several times during the festival we will have as many as 16 quad flyers standing side by side, flying to music, all in perfect formation. Festival Coordinator Mike Van Meers, of Gaithersburg, will be directing all activities on the beach. For additional information, call 410-289-7855 or www.kiteloft.com.

bling steak fries. 2. Dip fries in flour and shake off any excess flour. 3. Whisk eggs and water together. Repeat dipping process. Again shale off any excess egg mixture. 4. Press individual fries in panko crumbs, try to cover entire surface. 5. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When fries are golden brown, turn and fry the other side. Cool fries on a wire rack to ensure crispness. While fries are still hot, season with salt and pepper. Marinara Dipping Sauce 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 small yellow onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (32-ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1/2 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 stall celery, finely chopped 2/3 cup combined shredded raw carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried thyme few pinches of crushed red pepper seeds couple pinches of baking soda kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 1. In a large sauté pan over mediumhigh heat, cook garlic, onions, and raw vegetables in olive oil for 12 minutes. You may need to add extra olive oil. 2. Add the remaining ingredients except for the baking soda. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and stir in baking soda. The sauce will form a foam-like texture but this indicates the baking soda is neutralizing the acid in the tomatoes. Serve warm with veggie fries.

Even a fun fundraiser, the likes of a lowly slot machine, win or lose, gives you a shot at accidentally saving your soul or someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Try your luck on the nonprofit clubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slots. Tell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em Irish sent you! Popping, cropping, hopping, droppin or bebopping around town, I found Bobby Pizza and Betty, Jim and Kathy Ebel, Jim and Mary Mooney, Vince and Nadine Ryan, the Scotts, John and Alma, Lucille Jo-

Gertie was everywhere when it came to volunteering her services, albeit time, money or hands-on help. Gertie will be remembered and sorely missed by the folks and organizations that she befriended. Her favorite role, the leprechaun leading the Delmarva Irish-American Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade. Coming up, the Hibernian Ladies Auxiliary is having its sixth annual card party on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center.

Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be great if a cure for cancer were discovered this year? This is indeed a united town when it comes to folks of all ages trying to make a cure possible. Chairwoman Beverly Furst and friends, Lauren Martin and Susie McElroy, are holding an event on the Boardwalk on Oct. 20. More update bulletins later. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eagerly awaiting a Boardwalk bench sitting fundraiser for the adult-plusplussers.

Of course, we’d have to hire couple sit ins for the folks who have problems with walking or running. To have a friend you have to be a friend. Many of Delmarva retirees migrated to our town at the same time as their friends.

Ocean City Beach Patrol officially ends guarding season Sunday ON GUARD

Lifeguards will return to stands in May 2013 KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 21, 2012) As you take a walk along the beach next week, you won’t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The beach patrol will officially end the 2012 guarding season this Sunday, Sept 23. During our guarding season, surf rescue technicians are in stands and fulfill 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 City’s beaches until May 2013. At this time of year, it is important for people to realize that, because the beach patrol is off duty, they should not participate in water-related activities until the OCBP 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. Several tropical storms formed out in the Atlantic and resulted in the OCBP having a very busy couple of weeks pulling people out of rip currents. Although we experienced no fatalities while we were on duty, we made over 200 rescues since Labor Day. We also deployed several evening mobile patrols due to the high rip current risk and made numerous rescues, during these patrols, of people who should never have been swimming without lifeguards. When people do not heed the warning of no swimming while guards are off duty, they could very well find themselves in danger — just like it were August or last weekend when we were making hundreds of rescues. The difference now will be that there are no SRTs on the stands keeping a watchful eye and no one nearby to respond if the need arises. During this time of the year, stands are pulled off the beach and lifeguards 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 comprised of mobile rescue units. These mobile rescue units are first aid- and AEDequipped 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 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 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. 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 posture; 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 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 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 2013 when the

Resort lifeguards return to beach stands Memorial Day 2013 ON GUARD OCBP 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. 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 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. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety feature. The beach patrol’s mission has three focuses: education, prevention 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, many lives have been saved and will continue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on

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 2013 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. Each year people die in Ocean City because they chose to swim without lifeguards. Don’t let it be you or someone you love. However you remember it, swimming only when lifeguards are on duty could save a life: yours or someone you love!
