FULL UP Crowd estimates provided by Chase Michael of Katancha Corp. of Wisconsin, organizer of OC BikeFest/Delmarva Bike Week, suggest that the past weekend’s motorcycle rally might have been the largest single event of any kind on the coast. Michael put the number somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 participants, while city officials pegged it at 150,000. Either way, the aerial photo provided by Michael Panco Photography shows an inlet parking lot with no room to spare.
Weed whacked Lawsuit challenges pot license award to lower-ranked Worcester applicant
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) Accusations of malfeasance on the part of the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission may affect the standing of Worcester’s only outfit, Shore Naturals RX, to receive preapproval from the commission to begin growing marijuana. Another applicant, GTI Maryland, filed a complaint in Baltimore City Circuit Court on Monday seeking a declaratory judgment and
injunctive relief from the commission, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the individual commissioners, based on claims the commissioners capriciously altered the application review process. GTI contends that during the double-blind ranking process when Towson University’s Regional Economic Studies Institute vetted the 145 applications for 15 grower and 15 processor preapprovals, it was ranked 12th in See LITIGANTS Page 5

OCPD calls level despite boom in BikeFest Organizers report 175,000 attended, incidents stay on course for five-year average
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Even though OC BikeFest attracted roughly 50,000 more people this year than it did in 2015, the Ocean City Police Department has reported that the number of incidents over the course of the four-day event changed little from last year. “I don’t know of any serious incidents that occurred, and with all the people and vehicles in town, I think it went very well,” Mayor Rick Meehan during Monday’s City Council session. “There were numerous officers on patrol and I think their presence helped as well.” From Sept. 15-18, the department recorded 1,662 service calls this year. That was a spike compared to 2015, which saw 1,306 calls. But looking to past statistics, 2016 was on par with the five-year average of 1,505 calls for service. BikeFest just ended its sixth year in Ocean City, complete with vendors and musical performances from 3 Doors Down and Styx. Some City Council members had criticized the festival for attracting a certain element they believe requires a heightened police presence. Last year, OC BikeFest promoters estimated that 150,000 people attended the four-day event. In 2016, the festival has 175,000 to 200,000 participants, according to BikeFest Marketing and Exhibitor Director Chase Michael. Ocean City’s estimations put the number around 150,000 this year. “It’s all in forecasting, but let’s say half of the people brought a guest, that would put it around 225,000. OC Air Show draws 350,000,” said Special Event Superintendent Frank Miller. “But in terms of lodging, spending, BikeFest could be the biggest private event in Ocean City, and only eclipsed in the number of people by the OC Air Show.”

OCPD reported 42 arrests between Thursday and Sunday, a slight dip from last year, with 47 arrests made. Included in this year’s count are 13 DUI arrests, 8 drug arrests and 1 weapons arrest. Twenty-one crashes were reported, none with life-threatening injuries. Residents called in 363 complaints to police this year, which is slightly above the five-year average of 342 citizen calls for service. Police responses to illegal or disruptive behavior spiked above the five-year outlook with 1,299 officerinitiated responses recorded. The average between 2012 to 2016 was 1,129 officer responses. This was also OC BikeFest’s first year with the trailer ordinance,
which calls for fines on oversized vehicles if they are parked without a permit on resort roads. In the fourday span, 133 citations were written for unregistered vehicles. Comparatively, 42 tickets were written for vehicles that had trailers but no permits for Cruisin’ Ocean City, the first event to test the new law, back in May. In the calm aftermath of the motorcycle rally, some citizens took to City Hall Monday night to repeat the same old concerns: the noise level. “I have to disagree with the mayor’s comments. As far as I’m concerned, the noise levels on Coastal Highway and especially in the residential areas … it seems nothing has changed,” said Ellie Dieglmann. “I talked to the people at the police department and told
them my understanding of the law said specifically prohibiting to make continued unreasonably loud noise that disturb the peace … so essentially, the law doesn’t apply to bike week people.” Resident Andy Rolland agreed with Dieglmann about the noise, but said that he had learned to accept it over the years. “I even understand that we need to be more tolerant about it. But I was very incensed to read in the paper that my tax dollars were going to fund Bikefest,” he said. At the council’s Sept. 8 session, its members agreed to give BikeFest an additional $10,000 of the Tourism Advisory Board’s request for $25,000. Last year, the council provided $20,000 to event promotSee CITIZENS Page 4

Councilwoman Mary Knight also persuaded the other council members to make this year’s allocation of $10,000 the final year of funding for the meeting. Rolland said during the Sept. 19 session that he did not understand the cost for BikeFest and asked the council to make that information transparent. “I’m not sure how the city is paying to make this a successful event, but I wonder if the cost justification is available so that we could see what this really costing us.” While the bottom line has yet to be seen, it has been forecasted that the average person who attends Bikefest stays a minimum of three days and provides roughly more than 40,000 room nights in midSeptember. Meehan assured the public that the report would be made available, and that the motorcycle festival did have a significant positive impact on the city and businesses. ‘The occupancy and expenditures were far and over what we saw last year,” Meehan said.

In response, Paul Davies M.D., the permitted by local zoning ordichairman of the commission, issued nances.” However, part of the code guiding a statement on the commission’s the commission states it “may take website addressing this and other into account the geographic location concerns from the lawsuit. In the statement, Davies cites a letof the growing operation.” Yet the application itself, submitted months be- ter from Assistant Attorney General
Kathryn Rowe to Delegate Chris West (R-42B) explaining, among other issues, that the commission was required to seek geographic diversity “to the extent possible.” This letter is dated March 15, 2015, well before the November 2015 application deadline and more than a year before applicants were asked to provide this information. As for geographic diversity, only 15 grower licenses were initially approved by the state, but this number could be increased in the future to meet demand. On the commission’s website, the top 20 top scoring growers were listed. Out of Maryland’s 24 counties, including Baltimore City, half of the top 20 applications were for businesses located in Frederick, Dorchester, Washington and Garrett counties.
The commission has already moved on to the next phase of approvals for the applicants who received Stage One approvals in August. In addition to the previously mentioned zoning and facility requirements, those with the approvals have already begun hiring and training staff as well. Following a visit from state inspectors, these companies can begin growing the product. The commission has not yet rendered its decision about the dispensary licensees allowable in the state, but it is expected by the end of the year. Erick Bruder, owner of Shore Naturals RX, and Vanessa Lyon, communications director for the commission, did not respond to requests for comment.

Continued from Page 7 when current Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson announced he would not seek another four-year term, but would remain as an interim as the search was being conducted. The board of education contacted the Maryland Association of Boards of Education to begin the search process and the job listing was posted to attract qualified local, state and national candidates. Twelve applications were received by the Aug. 15 deadline. “We were pleased with the number of responses,” Cook said. “We had 12 official applications, but also had talks with a few other interested people. The process is very involved with essays and paperwork.” The applications were presented to the board, ranked and scored before five candidates were selected to come in for interviews, which included two local applicants, one from a neighboring state and another from Texas. Each person was asked the same 15 questions. “Our criteria was educational experience and we had pretty good coverage,” Cook said. “We were looking for someone who was currently a superintendent or assistant superintendent.”
The quality of answers were scored on a scale by each board member individually and the scores were totaled to see who would move on to the next step. “These were hard decisions,” Cook said. “We had outstanding candidates and we were moved at the quality of presentations.” Two weeks ago, four applicants were asked back for a second round of interviews and each candidate gave a 30-minute presentation. The two highest-scoring candidates were determined by board members. “The whole focus of doing this is we are a high-performing school district,” Cook said. “It is important how we conduct our business and how we transition our superintendent. We take it very seriously and are committed to doing it professionally.” The goal is to choose a new superintendent within the next month, with July 1, 2017 as the official starting date. “We were so pleased with the number and quality of candidates,” Cook said. “It reinforced we have a special school system in Worcester County. Dr. Wilson is tremendous and his approach has allowed us to move forward with the process. We are very appreciative to him.”

POLICE/COURTS
Drugs Emilio Torres and Brittanie Musser, both 25, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, were arrested on Sept. 15 for the possession of ecstasy. Ocean City police officers responded to a domestic dispute at a downtown motel where Torres had dilated pupils and was exhibiting signs of someone under the influence of drugs, the police report said. Police reported Torres asked officers to escort him upstairs to avoid his girlfriend and admitted to ingesting ecstasy. A warrant check indicated Musser was wanted in Pennsylvania for receiving stolen property.
Drugs Ocean City police officers arrested and charged William Dubrel, 26, of Princess Anne, Maryland, with possession of heroin and crack cocaine in addition to two counts of drug paraphernalia on Sept. 15. According to the report, Dubrel walked by police and they noticed a large knife sticking out of his shirt. After speaking with Dubrel, he was asked if they could search his backpack, which revealed two hypodermic syringes without caps containing residue and dried blood and a broken glass pipe with crack cocaine residue. In addition, another uncapped needle with dried blood and residue was located in a cigarette box in his pocket.
Prostitution, drugs Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit officers along with Homeland Security and other local police agencies conducted a prostitution and human trafficking investigation on Sept. 16. The operation led police to websites that allow people to Danielle Young post advertisements for escorts. Police reported making contact with Danielle Young, 28, of Ocean View, Delaware, through text messages and she agreed to meet at a hotel in Ocean City. Upon arrival, Young was arrested for prostitution. When officers approached the vehicle Young was dropped off in, they found Chanel Jones, 23, of Dover, Delaware, in the driver’s seat and they could allegedly smell burnt marijuana. Police reported a search of the car uncovered approximately 20 bundles of heroin, which came out to be about 200 bags of heroin. Young was arrested for soliciting prostitution, possession with intent to distribute heroin and possession of heroin. Jones was arrested for driving on a suspended driver’s license.

Ocean City police officers arrested Dominic Jeppi, 22, of Ocean City, on two counts of first degree assault, two counts of second degree assault, two counts reckless endangerment and two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon with intent to injure on Sept. 14. According to the report, Jeppi was intoxicated and threatened his parents with a kitchen knife, which forced his mother to hide in a bathroom while waiting for police to arrive. Police reported they were familiar with this family because Jeppi had threatened both of his parents with a pair of scissors and kicked their bedroom door down in January. Jeppi allegedly suffers with his mental health and has been diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. His parents report he refuses to take his prescribed medication. Throughout the incident, Jeppi was verbally abusive to his parents and flung a television remote before waving the knife at them, the report stated.
Kelly Pearman, 40, of Elkton, Maryland, was arrested and charged with possession of paraphernalia and driving on a suspended license. On Sept. 16, an Ocean City police officer was on Route 90 when the license plate reader indicated Pearman’s driver’s license was suspended because of points. The officer requested a K9 search, which was positive and uncovered a spoon, belt, numerous hypodermic syringes and three blue wax paper bags.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2016
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Now that the Performing Arts Center has its new sound system in place, Ocean City officials are looking to the next round of improvements for the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. Before last Tuesday’s Tourism Commission, City Engineer Terry McGean sat with Council members Matt James, Dennis Dare and Mary Knight to go over phase III of the convention center’s renovation plan in broad strokes. “What we did was give them a basic update of the designs and how it would conceptually work,” McGean said. “We’re going to present it to the full council during the Sept. 27 work session along with cost estimates.” The third and final step would include adding a 30,000-square foot hall that would attach to Exhibit Hall A and B on the first floor, where the general area where trade shows and competitive sports take place. A walkway running along the bayfront would connect the spaces. “So that’s going to open it up and there’ll be one giant space – or you’ll be able to divide it up in three different spaces,” McGean said. City staff is also looking into moving the coat check and adding a business center in its place. Other additions could include newer restrooms and office space. “It’ll be a couple of offices that will run adjacent to the existing offices, a conference room and a storage area with an overhead door that will go on the south end,” he said. “Those are the basic building blocks of what we’re looking at.” The resort started looking into revamping the 182,200-square foot facility decades ago. A 2008 study recommended additions to the facility in three phases. Phase I, a new bayside ballroom on the second floor, was completed at a cost of $9 million in 2013. Phase II involved opening a $14 million, 1,200-seat performing arts center in 2015. The City Council agreed to proceed with plans for Phase III last May after examining the results from feasibility study from Crossroads Consulting Services, the Maryland Stadium Authority’s economic consultant. According to the study, the larger hall would bring 113 events to the facility a year, an increase from its average of 82 events a year. That, in turn, could bring $4.5 million in revenue from gas, room tax and sales tax as visitors spend time in Ocean City. Construction for Phase III has no price tag yet, but early estimates had placed the cost range at $20 million. McGean said that city staff is still working on pinpointing exact costs to each step. “We’re pricing these things separately,” McGean said. “So when the numbers come in, we’ll get an idea of if we can afford each project or if it’s not worth the price.”

Worcester Drug Court backs ‘Adopt Your Street’ program Rehab participants to pick up trash off St. Louis Ave. for Md. Coastal Bays effort
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) With few residents and businesses stepping forward to volunteer for the “Adopt Your Street” neighborhood cleaning initiative, Worcester County’s Drug Treatment Court has laid claim to St. Louis Avenue as part of its rehabilitation program. “We’ve done clean-up programs for community service with the drug court a couple times in the past,” said Sandi Smith, the marketing and development coordinator of Maryland Coastal Bays Program, which organized the arrangement. This guarantees four other cleanups at St. Louis Avenue, she said. On the heels of the Ocean City Surf Club’s successful Adopt Your Beach program, Coastal Bays decided to resuscitate its litter collection initiative. But while Adopt Your Beach appealed to vacationers for a short-term commitment down by the water, Adopt Your Street has been struggling to draw participants. The drug court, where offenders can be sent in lieu of the traditional judicial process, is one of the few agencies that have stepped forward to commit to a four cleanups a year. “We finalized the adoption last week and the first cleanup will be in October,” said Drug Court Coordinator Tracy Simpson. “All of our community service programs are focused on giving back to the community in a positive way. This is a more formalized approach where we go out there and clean up the streets … and make a difference in the neighborhood.” The drug treatment court is a post-
plea treatment program that offers intensive rehabilitation services to criminal defendants. Participants in the program are non-violent offenders whose crimes are driven by addiction. Worcester County has four-phase programs for juveniles, adults and families that run for 12 to 18 months. Steps in the program include participating in substance abuse treatment, random drug testing, finding employment and completing four hours of community service a month. “Each participant has so many hours they need to get done, so we host mini-events to fill that need. Mostly we coordinate with churches [and] nonprofits like Coastal Bays,” she said. “We do coordinate with participants to make sure people can attend at least one, but people might have other commitments with treatment and work. But the event is mandatory if you aren’t working or in treatment.” Focusing its involvement with Adopt Your Street, the cleanup events will be open for adult and juvenile participants, but would be geared towards adults. “Juveniles have school during the week, which makes it hard to schedule around,” Simpson said. She added that the drug court is looking to do more than Adopt Your Street’s bare minimum of four collections a year, but that hinges on other factors. “It’s going to be very weather dependent. We have 80 participants in the program throughout the year, and we might have 15 show up for the first cleanup, and then 20 at the next one and 30 at the next, and so on,” Simpson said. “It’s part of the bigger plan to help them live in a community that be invested in.” For more information on Adopt Your Street and Adopt Your Beach, visit the Coastal Bays website at wxww.mdcoastalbays.org.

City catches flack for school after Labor Day By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Criticism singling out Ocean City business interests as the impetus behind Gov. Larry Hogan’s executive order changing the public school starting date stunned local industry representatives, judging from comments at the Sept. 12 Ocean City Tourism Commission meeting. Press reports of Hogan’s Aug. 31 Boardwalk media event declaring a post-Labor Day start for Maryland public schools next year included comments from opponents who accused the governor of putting Ocean City’s tourism interests before the educational needs of Maryland children. Commission member Michael James, president of Hospitality Partners and managing partner of the Carousel Group, said he was surprised by reports questioning Hogan’s decision to go around the Maryland General Assembly, which earlier this year killed a bill that attempted to change the school year calendar. “I’ve been surprised by the criticism,” he said. “The press has been negative.” Todd Ferrante, who owns Park Place Jewelry, added that he felt Ocean City was unfairly singled out for condemnation in the media.
Despite polling numbers from researchers at Goucher College indicating 72 percent of state residents support a post-Labor day start to the school year, the Maryland legislature earlier this year failed to pass SB 767. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Jim Mathias, died in the senate after receiving an unfavorable report by the
who opined that opponents might fight the decision when the General Assembly convenes in January. He said he supports the later school starting date, but wondered if proponents of the change might have been better off to continue to push the issue in the legislature in an attempt to settle the issue there.
‘Most of the negative comments are coming from the school board members and administrators.’ Dennis Dare Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee. Three other states –Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia — have laws establishing a post-Labor Day start to the classes. But Hogan’s order might not be the end of the battle, said commission member John Gehrig of D3 Corp.,
“Something tells me we won the first quarter of the game,” he said, suggesting that the legislature might push back in the next session. In retrospect City Council member Mary Knight questioned the location of Hogan’s press conference. “That surprised me that they
picked the Boardwalk,” she said. “I was amazed they came down here and did it.” Knight also discovered dissension around the radio dial. “I was listening to local talk radio in Delaware (and) they were bashing us,” she said. “I almost called in and then I thought, ‘No they just don’t get it.’” City Councilman Dennis Dare, however, said the bulk of criticism did not emanate from the media. “Most of the negative comments are coming from the school board members and administrators,” he said. Admitting he can empathize with educators’ passion, Dare said he was still puzzled by the General Assembly’s rejection of a measure that is supported 70 percent of Maryland residents.

Ocean City will be paying $7.4M in general employee, public safety, benefits plan
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Ocean City government will be contributing slightly less to its employees’ pensions in fiscal year 2017, despite some reversals in its investments. Finance Administrator Martha Bennett told the City Council this week that Ocean City did see some investment reductions this year, but the slight dip in percentages of both the public safety and general employees’ pension funds’ current values is no cause for alarm. “The funding for general employees’ plan dropped from 88.5 percent to 87.8 percent and for the public safety employees plan, it went from 93 percent to 92.3 percent. So it was a very modest change,” she said. Ocean City determines contributions to its pension plans each year through an actuarial study, which examines the resort’s employee base and estimates what the cost will be to support that number of people after they retire. Differences between what the city currently has in its trust funds and its estimated future liabil-
ity are paid off via contributions over several years. Cavanaugh MacDonald, the resort’s actuary, recommended funding the public safety and general employees’ pension funds at almost $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Bolton Partners also recommended placing nearly $3 million in the “Other Post Employment Benefit” retiree fund, per another actuarial valuation. “The total amount is $7,471,610 and that’s $53,783 less than [what was paid in] FY16 and$ 308,789 less than what we budgeted for FY17,” Bennett said. “The reports were comprehensive and this recommendation was based on normal costs for FY17 and a 10-year amortization of the unfunded liability. “While there were investment losses in 2016, there were gains because salaries did not increase as much as projected,” she said. “In FY14, the plans increased 15 percent in investment returns. In FY16, it increased three present. And this year, its actuarial amount was negative three percent.” The council voted unanimously to adopt the recommended pension contributions over the next three months.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Continued work on the plans for a new Showell Elementary School are at a standstill following the Worcester County Commissioners’ tie vote Tuesday on whether to approve a conceptual design that, if pursued, would be for a school costing $45.9 million. With Commissioner Ted Elder absent from the afternoon proceedings, fellow Commissioners Diana Purnell, Chip Bertino and Jim Bunting voted not to approve the plan, with Commissioners Bud Church, Joe Mitrecic and Merrill Lockfaw supporting it. Dr. Jerry Wilson, superintendent of Worcester County Schools, began his appeal for approval and $1.6 million in funding for the next phase of design work with a presentation on the project’s development. “In September 2014, we presented you with the results for a feasibility study for Showell Elementary School,” he said. “The study detailed facility and structural deficiencies and recommended construction of a replacement school.” After the commissioners provided design funding in January, Wilson said a Conceptual Plan Committee and an Education Specifications Committee were formed to work with project architect the
Becker Morgan Group to develop a preliminary floor plan and site plan. In addition to Commissioners Elder, Bunting and Bertino, the Conceptual Plan Committee included members of the Worcester Board of Education, along with Showell Elementary School staff and parents. The committee met with Becker Morgan’s architect multiple times between March and July of this year. Brad Hastings, a principal at Becker Morgan, said contingent upon commissioners’ approval, the project would move into the schematic design, design development and construction documents phases. “We’re very early in the process and there’s still a lot of room for looking for cost savings and what’s going to work best for the school,” he said. Hastings said the original size recommendation of 105,333 gross square feet has been reduced to 94,866, thus saving several million dollars. After factoring in a state construction allowance of $7.5 million, the total local funding would be approximately $38.4 million. Wilson said with approval of the conceptual plan and funding for the next round of development, the project would be on schedule to break ground in early 2019.
Bunting, however, wondered, whether there might be further savings to be had. “This amount that has come up as your working design estimate is a little scary,” he said. Noting that one route for cost savings was a potential reduction in the number of Pre-K classrooms from six to two, Mitrecic said as proposed the school would not meet community needs. “At some point if they make PreK all day, this school is too small,” he said. “So we’re going to build a school and we’re going to need an addition sometime in the future. So there’s really not going to be any real cost savings because if we save money somewhere else we’re going to build these four classrooms.” Wilson said it was too early to speculate on future developments and that a vote to approve the conceptual design would be unrelated to cost savings efforts elsewhere. After Mitrecic offered a motion to approve, which was seconded by Church, the commissioners deadlocked three to three. Bertino said he voted against approving the concept plans so the issue could be revisited at the next commissioners meeting on October 4. “One of my concerns is CommisSee COUNTY Page 20

In an interview the day after the meeting, Church said the project is off the table for now. “This is the second time this has happened,” he said. “The president and commissioners drew a line in the sand on what they’re willing to spend.” Admitting the original budget numbers submitted by the Board of Education were somewhat unrealistic, Church said numerous meetings have taken place since then on how to reduce costs. While acknowledging the importance of being fiscally responsible with tax money, Church said par-
ents and students at Showell Elementary deserve a school on par with others in the area. “It’s not fair to build a sub-standard school in Showell,” he said. Speaking after the meeting, Mitrecic said he wanted to proceed with the conceptual plans and continue to crunch budget numbers. “I made a motion to move ahead with the design to keep the project moving forward with the full knowledge and intent that anything they come up with moneywise is coming back to us,” he said. He also questioned the need to revisit the topic at the Oct. 4 commissioners meeting. “There’s really no reason to bring it back up for Mr. Elder unless he was going to vote for it,” he said. “I don’t think Mr. Bertino would have wanted Mr. Elder to hear it if he was going to vote for it.” Although not certain, Mitrecic suspects the goal for revisiting the discussion would be to establish a See I Page 21

‘I made a motion to move ahead with the design to keep the project moving forward with the full knowledge and intent that anything they come up with moneywise is coming back to us.’ Joe Mitrecic Continued from Page 20 new budget limit. “My thought is they wanted it brought back up so they could set a new budget number,” he said. “They wanted four of them there so they could say this is the number and you’ve got to move forward from there.” Noting that the initial cost estimate of $54 million was out of line, Mitrecic said identifying areas for cuts is challenging. “There may be some cuts, but to find $7 or $8 million dollars in cuts. I don’t know what you would have to sacrifice to do that,” he said. “I’m not saying the school should cost as much as they say it should, but I also know there’s certain things that you have to have.” Although the deadlock vote complicates matters, Mitrecic said from his view the correct course of action is obvious. “Basically, we should have voted to move forward and continue to monitor costs and keep the costs down,” he said. “I don’t know why
there hasn’t been more outrage from the parents and the teachers at Showell.” The following day, Bertino said he supported the project but that its cost remains too high. “I don’t think its dead in the water, I think maybe we hit a speed bump,” he said. “I know I’m committed to building a new school up there and I believe a majority of the commissioners are.” Bertino said he felt the budget total presented at Tuesday’s meeting was too exorbitant. “I think there were some line items in there that should not have been in that $45 million figure,” he said. “My hope is we can get those numbers identified and we can bring that number down and I really do believe the board of ed feels the same way.” Following Tuesday’s meeting, Wilson said the need for improvements at Showell Elementary remain and the board of education will meet to formulate potential next steps in the process.

Forums on neighborhood parks start Sept. 29 Improvement plan talks to cover Sunset, Robin Park, recreation complex on Third
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) The Recreation and Parks department will be opening its doors to Ocean City’s residents to get some feedback on nine of the resort’s parks by holding several open forums in the next few weeks. “We’re master planning, and a part of that is to get input from the community.” said city Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito. “It’s a brainstorming session if anything else.” As part of Ocean City’s Strategic Plan, a comprehensive Parks and Recreation master plan was made a
priority item for the city staff this year. In creating the parks master plan, Ocean City Recreation and Parks, along with the Business Economic and Community Outreach Network (BEACON) of the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business at Salisbury University, conducted a survey last spring to see what year-round residents wanted improved in the neighborhood parks. Petito said that the survey yielded some results, but not enough to form a clear picture of what residents want to see in their community. “I had some people say they were interested in expanding the dog park [at Little Salisbury Park on 94th Street] and maybe providing an aquatic center. But there weren’t as much responses as we would like,
so we wanted to get residents to come out and have a frank discussion about what they want to see developed in the future,” Petito said. There will be four meetings, starting on Sept. 29, held in various forums in hopes of drawing residents from those areas. The nine parks will be divided between the meetings, to give adequate time to each discussion. The first meeting, to be held on Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. at City Hall, will focus on Sunset Park on South Division Street, the downtown recreation complex near Third Street and Robin Park at 28th Street. The Little Salisbury Park near 94th Street and the Jamestown Park off 116th Street will be discussed at the second meeting, to be held at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street on Oct. 13 at 6:30 p.m.
22nd Street & Coastal Hwy. Ocean City, MD (in front of Fish Ta Tales)
40% OFF ENTIRE STORE
The third and fourth meetings will be held at the Northside Park Recreation Complex on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 27 at 6 p.m., respectively. The third meeting will focus on Northside Park while the fourth will be a forum on Gorman Park at 136th Street, Fiesta Park at 141st Street and North Surf Park near 142nd Street. Like with the earlier survey, city staff will be notifying residents of the forums via email, but is relying on local newspapers to help raise attendance numbers. “We would like to do direct mailing to draw out those residents, but we can’t afford to do that for everyone,” Petito said. “So we’re hoping newspapers can get the word out, and we’ll also post it on the website.” Despite concerns of low turnout, Petito is confident that residents will have something to say about the future of their parks. “I know that when we had some plans to develop the downtown recreation complex and name it Bayside Park, there were some residents curious to find out what we were going to do,” she said. “They were looking for information. Now this is a chance to get that information and ask us some questions too. “Some things are not going to be realistic for us to do, because we don’t have the space to do it,” she added. “But some may be realistic and we haven’t thought about doing that. Or maybe there is room to expand, but the neighborhood likes it the way it is. We want to give them the opportunity to say that to us.” For more information about the parks public meetings, contact the Recreation and Parks Department at 410-250-0125 for more information.

City Council conflicted over plumbing permit regulations
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Ocean City planning department staff will review a proposed revision to the resort’s plumbing code and whether it makes it clear that residents can, for instance, replace a faucet in their homes without a permit and a master plumber. Apparently the language in the current plumbing code, which was updated several months ago, left some property owners wondering whether they could do small jobs themselves, instead of having to call in a contractor. Planning and Community Development Director Bill Neville suggested that the City Council create a new ordinance that spells out what sorts of fixture installations or replacements did not require a permit. The Council, however, opted to simplify the language even further in a 61 vote. But when their suggestions were written out in an ordinance that was presented to them during the Sept. 19 session, some councilmembers were divided on whether that would address the issue. “This seems simple,” said Councilman Dennis Dare, “but I have a conflict with making it simpler for a
homeowner to replace something or requiring a licensed plumber do the replacement.” In March, the council relaxed the code to allow a property owner to replace certain plumbing fixtures like faucets and showerheads without a permit. No further revisions were made to the code until Aug. 1, when Councilman Wayne Hartman asked the staff to take a closer look at the regulations regarding replacing drainage and venting plumbing systems, valves, water pipes, backflow devices or traps. The ordinance on the table on Monday exempted permits for work including “stoppage in leaks in drains…clearing of stoppages, replacing leaks in valves and a direct replacement of a plumbing fixture in the same location.” Dare was uncertain that omitting the wording on plumbing fixtures by just a broad phrase would stop unqualified people from doing the work themselves. “I at least liked it when it was more defined so that the staff could say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ When it becomes generalized to fixtures, homeowners would question if they could do this. I feel like public welfare is better served when someone … knowledgeable does it as See DISCUSSION Page 26

Discussion on fixture replacement to continue Continued from Page 24 opposed to a condo association replacing a water heater incorrectly so it wreaks havoc on the building,” he said. Councilman Matt James disagreed with Dare’s assessment, contending that people would use common sense. “I thought that a plumbing fixture would be outside the interior plumbing, like a sink, toilet, hot water heater,” James said. “If you replace any of those things incorrectly, you’re going to know very quickly. I don’t see that anyone who thinks they’re not able to replace a toilet, do it. These are fairly simple items that require a permit. It’s a little much.” According the plumbing code, a fixture is defined as a water closet, urinals, whirlpool baths, showers, sinks or drains and receptors. An appliance is defined as clothes washers,
dishwashers, water heaters, food dis- ferent category of permit that doesn’t posals and water softeners. require the master plumber,” he said.

You can replace a faucet. But we can discuss this further.” In the final moment of council discussion, Dare said keeping the permit requirement would also protect buyers of older properties that may not be up to code. “It protects the homeowner.” During the public comment segment of the reading, resident Joe Manganello told the council that under the current plumbing code, the only plumbing replacement that could not be done without a plumber is replacing a basic sink trap. “If someone loses a ring down the sink, the way your code is written now, you need a licensed plumber to get it. It’s just two little connections to get the trap off,” Manganello said. He also said that he contacted a master plumber, and was told he would set up an appointment a month in advance. “I understand that certain appliances that need inspection, but something as simple as this holds up getting a permit ... doesn’t make sense to me,” he said. He added that if someone is going to replace a sink with the one having the same specifications, “ why do they need a licensed plumber at accost of $190 $250 dollars?” The council is tentatively set to revisit the plumbing code during the Sept. 27 work session.

County tables discussion on bulk booze buy at Gold Coast Commissioners hesitant to make deal for 10 percent more than cost on stock
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) After several false starts, the Worcester Commissioners voted 5-1 to table until its meeting on Oct. 4, consideration of an offer to purchase the entire inventory at the county’s Gold Coast Mall retail liquor store. The dissenting vote came from Commission President Jim Bunting for a proposal from neighboring tenant Gold Coast Beer & Wine, whose owner, Mohamad Ramadan, expressed interest in a bulk inventory purchase. County Attorney Maureen Howarth said the county’s original plans were altered based on the property owner’s business decision. “We had originally intended to include the Gold Coast Mall store in the original request for proposal for our 16th Street retail liquor store location,” she said. “However the landlord was not inclined to give us an extension of our lease, which expires at the end of this year.” In lieu of granting the county a
longer lease, Howarth said the space would be leased to Gold Coast Beer & Wine, which plans on expanding and renovating the location. Howarth worked with Ramadan’s attorney, Mark Cropper, to develop a bid form, similar to the RFP for the 16th Street retail liquor store. “The owner has offered to purchase up to $300,000 worth of inventory,” she said. “The current inventory at the store is a little over $150,000. They’ve agreed to increase that to $300,000 of purchases, which would include a 10 percent markup of the county’s cost of the inventory.” Howarth said county staff has concluded the deal is worthwhile and recommended the commissioners accept the offer. She also noted that Ramadan plans to apply for a new Class “A” beer, wine and liquor license, which is contingent on the commissioners granting an exception to current rules which restrict retail liquor operations within 10-blocks of an existing county store. “You would need to back to the Board of Licensing Commissioners that you back and support the appliSee ISSUES Page 28

Issues of fairness arise in liquor store deal Continued from Page 27 cation,” she said. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said the offer was generous but wondered about the selection process. “Do we pick the inventory that we’re going to sell them for $300,000, or are they just going to order from the county and pay that extra (percentage?)” he asked. Howarth said the base inventory of approximately $152,000 would be supplemented under terms of the deal. “What we’re proposing to do is add an additional percentage of that same inventory that will meet the $300,000 total,” she said. Mitrecic said the final inventory list is still being compiled. “There may be a little bit of horse trading back and forth be-
tween the buyer and the county, as far as what that inventory will be,” he said. “That’s part of what Maureen and Mark Cropper are working over in the next couple of weeks to bring to you what that final inventory is.” Based on feedback he’s received, Mitrecic said there are a number of parties interested in opening up liquor stores on the north end of Ocean City. “Are we supporting this gentleman over them with this deal and should it be put out there for other people?” he asked. The county has little say in who the property owner opts to lease the store to next year, Howarth said. “We don’t have control of the situation because the landlord is
not going to renew the lease,” she said. Although the county’s departure from the retail liquor business will eliminate the 10-block radius restriction for other establishments, Mitrecic said with retail liquor stores already operating in Fenwick Island, near 130th Street, and the Gold Coast Mall on 116th Street, market oversaturation could become an issue. “Does this shut down the ability for someone else to do a liquor store in between that area?” he asked. “I think it does for the most part. I’m curious about how it affects other people who may be in the application process.” If alternative proposals are presented, Howarth said she would consult further with the State

Comptroller to devise a strategy. “It’s a situation we haven’t explored with them yet,” she said. “As we all know we don’t have control over who gets the liquor licenses. There is a need issue and it will be interesting to see how they handle that.” Bunting asked if the county had received other offers for the Gold Coast inventory. Howarth said no. Commissioner Ted Elder asked if there was sufficient notice to other potentially interested parties. “Was there any kind of knowledge among other businesses that this was possible to do something like this, so we could get counter offers from everyone else?” he asked. “Is it going to be that we favored one person over another because someContinued on Page 29

‘Obviously we are still operating wholesale so anybody can buy from us wholesale and stock their stores at the sale prices that we’ve been having. We sent reminders out to the licensees to remind them wholesale is stopping soon so come stock up on the county inventory’ County Attorney Maureen Howarth
Continued from Page 28 one’s going to say that wasn’t advertised.” Again, Howarth noted the situation was out of the county’s control. “If he had extended (the lease) with us then we would have absolutely included everybody else, because that was the process we agreed to,” she said. “We don’t have an option to bring other interests to that store because it’s not our store.” Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw also expressed the sentiment that the process needs to be fair for all bidders. “I think this is a little bit early, even though this is a reasonable
offer, to just jump at it,” he said. Commissioner Bud Church concurred with Lockfaw’s sentiments. “I would agree, it seems like we’re jumping at the first opportunity and we don’t know what the other opportunities are,” he said. “I can tell you I’ve had a number of people call me and say ‘When can we move on this, when can we make a bid, when can we buy,’ and I don’t think we’ve defined that to anybody have we?” Howarth said any beer, wine and liquor license holder can purchase at a discount. “Obviously we are still operating wholesale so anybody can buy from
us wholesale and stock their stores at the sale prices that we’ve been having,” she said. “We sent reminders out to the licensees to remind them wholesale is stopping soon so come stock up on the county inventory.” Mitrecic asked if other storeowners have been offered the chance to purchase inventory for 10 percent over county cost. Kelly Shannahan, county assistant chief administrative officer, said Ramadan suggested the 10 percent over. “We left it to Mark Cropper and his client to determine what that percentage was, so I would suggest
that if you are going to open it up for offers, we do it similar and say ‘You tell us what your offer is.’” he said. “We may get an offer for 15 or 20 percent, then you get the best deal for the inventory.” Commissioner Chip Bertino motioned to accept the proposal, which received a second from Commissioner Diana Purnell, but the vote came down 4-2 against accepting the bid, with Lockfaw, Elder, Mitrecic and Church opposed. Since he had voted down the measure, Mitrecic was able to make another motion to table the discussion until the commissioners next meeting on Oct. 4.

Health department advises pre-teens to get HPV vaccine
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) With the school year underway, the Worcester County Health Department is reminding parents to confirm their pupils are up-to-date on the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The Health Department is advising children of both genders between the ages of 11 and 12 to receive the vaccine this year. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease. In a press release, Travis Brown, county health department spokesperson, said HPV can also lead to cervical and other cancers. “Fortunately, HPV vaccination is safe and effective and protects both males and females from the diseases potentially caused by HPV,” he said. Statistically, Brown said roughly 79 million Americans are infected with HPV, with approximately 14 million new cases occurring each year. “While HPV can often go away on its own without any symptoms, in some instances it can lead to a variety of cancers or other health complications,” he said. “The best protection from HPV is vaccination as a preteen.” Brown went on to explain that the

Immunization shot available at clinics vaccine is administered via three separate shots given over the course of six months. “It is important that all three doses are completed to receive full protection from the vaccine,” he said. “The vaccine is available through your primary care doctor. It is also available through the Worcester County Health Department during back-to-school vaccination clinics.” In a press release issued this June, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene noted that although doctors routinely advise adolescents to be vaccinated against HPV, in addition to Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and meningococcal, state data indicates HPV vaccination rates were 40 percent lower than Tdap (85 percent) and meningococcal (87 percent). “The HPV vaccine has been proven effective at preventing various forms of cancer,” said Dr. Howard Haft, Health and Mental Hygiene’s Deputy Secretary of Public Health Services, “but we know that access and utilization of the vaccine in Maryland has been insufficient. We want parents and providers alike to think HPV when discussing routine vaccinations. The high coverage rates for other vaccines show us it is certainly possible to see similar utilization of the HPV vaccine.” For more information, visit worcesterhealth.org or call 410.632.1100.

Community walk to raise suicide awareness Annual Out of the Darkness event to take place on OC Boardwalk this Saturday
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) This Saturday’s “Out of the Darkness Community Walk,� which takes place on the Ocean City Boardwalk at 10 a.m., looks to raise funding and heighten awareness of suicide. The 10-block stroll, which starts at Caroline Street on the Boardwalk, is sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and local partners, including the Jesse Klump Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Worcester County Heath Department and Atlantic General Hospital. Jessica Sexauer, county Health
Department’s Local Management Board director, who is co-chair for the walk, said $24,552 of this year’s $35,000 fundraising goal has been raised so far, with 339 walkers registered as of Wednesday. Last year, the event drew 391 walkers and bought in $23,475, Sexauer said, with more than $150,000 of funding raised over the events five-year history. Sexauer said based on data gathered from the 2014 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, adolescents in Worcester County are at or above state levels in key factor areas related to suicide. “Although Worcester County rates are higher than the state average in most areas, the overall trend is improving in these areas when compared to the county and state
0̞žm� 0A—my
averages from the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey,� she said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System to track heath-risk behaviors that contribute to the top causes of death and disability among young people. In addition to the CDC’s national school-based survey, state and local inquiries are also conducted. The number of Worcester middle school students who have experienced bullying behaviors at school in the last year ranked at 50.3 percent compared to 40.9 percent statewide. Although that figure dropped to 24.2 percent for Worcester high school students, this still skews higher than the 17.7 percent of high school students statewide. In the Internet age, electronic bullying has also become a factor, with 24.7 percent of Worcester middle school students reported being targeted, compared to 19.7 percent statewide. This figure drops to 16.2 percent among Worcester high school students, which is above the 13.8 percent statewide for high school students experiencing electronic bullying.
The percentage of Worcester middle school students reporting sad or hopeless feelings nearly every day for at least two weeks in the last year is 23.4, compared to 21.3 across the state. Among high school students this statistic was nearly identical with 26.6 reporting feelings of despondency compared to 26.8 statewide. Approximately 17.7 percent of Worcester middle school students reported serious thoughts of committing suicide in the last year, which is almost identical to the 17.6 statewide. Among Worcester high school students 17.4 percent had serious thoughts of suicide compared to 15.9 percent of Maryland high school students. Hotlines are available for those in trouble: the Life Crisis Center Crisis hotline (410-749-HELP) or the National Crisis Hotline (1-800-2738255). To register for the Out Of the Darkness Walk before Sept. 24, visit the AFSP website or contact Brittany Hines Lawton at 410-632-3648, or email Brittany.hines@maryland.gov. Participants may also register the day of the event until 10 a.m. and donations will be accepted until Dec. 31.

Sale of Post Office proceeds to second reading on Oct. 3
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Ocean City is looking to increase parking volume downtown by purchasing a plot of land on Philadelphia Avenue. The City Council passed an ordinance on first reading that authorizes the purchase of property at 410 Philadelphia Avenue, better known as the downtown branch of the U.S. Post Office. If the sale goes through, the city could use the land to create space for 60 parking spots that would be outfitted with standard CALE parking meters. When finished, it would look similar to the adjacent Fourth Street lot, with a combination of asphalt and pervious brick pavement that captures water. According to estimates, the lot would cost $1,350,000 and would be financed over a 10-year period. “We anticipate getting a bank loan
for this property,” said Financial Administrator Martha Bennett. “At this point, the last financing we received was a 1.86 rate so we anticipate getting a two or two and a half percent rate. The rent on the property would pay for the debt service for the first five years, approximately. There would also be income for parking as well, so that reduces the town’s cost some more.” Despite these answers, one resident’s concerns were not assuaged. Ellie Diegelmann asked the council if the city staff had done appropriate studies before holding a first reading on the property. “Is there a feasibility study done on the demand for parking because of its proximity to the inlet and so forth?” she asked. After public comment was finished, the Council unanimously voted to push the proposed purchase to second reading on Oct. 3.

Continued from Page 35 in the Florida Keys, where they have developed many lifelong friendships. But, golf was Michael’s number one pastime and when not watching the Golf Channel, he enjoyed playing at a variety of courses both locally and across the country with his many golfing buddies. Some of his favorite golfing highlights include: attending the Masters practice round this past April, the 2010 Pebble Beach/Torrey Pines “Why Wait Tour,” his Pinehurst #2 birthday bash, and his annual October golf trips which included most Myrtle Beach, Pinehurst and Hilton Head courses. “Bossman” was an iconic figure in Ocean City and will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Michael’s memory be made to the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company or Coastal Hospice. A celebration of his life will take place at a date and time to be determined. JUDITH S. PAZOUREK Ocean Pines Judith S.

Pinch Me Therapy Dough featured
Survey reports fewer people entering market
Rothner’s innovative stress reliever products included on Grommet site Sept. 23
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Pinch Me Therapy Dough, which was created by Nancy Rothner to help deal with stress, is a featured product on the Grommet today, Friday, beginning at 10 a.m. The innovative stress reliever is a pliant putty with soothing scents and colors designed to channel relaxation through the senses. “It’s a big honor and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be exposed to more people,” Rothner said. “The Grommet is an enormous platform and a force behind many products that have become mainstream, from Alex and Ani to Fitbit.” The Grommet prides itself on featuring innovative and exciting products or unique gifts. It reaches 2.5 million people on the day a product is launched. Only about 3 percent of products reviewed are selected to be a feature on the website. One in five households in the United States have purchased or shared a product from the Grommet. “I feel very honored they have chosen Pinch Me,” Rothner said. “They have the size and ability to be a big platform. The customers decide what products are big hits.” When the product goes live at 10 a.m. today, customers can view a demonstration video and listen to Rothner talk about the uses of Pinch Me Therapy Dough. “The size of their audience is tremendous,” Rothner said. “In a month, they reach six million people.” Rothner was recently exhibiting Pinch Me Therapy Dough in Dallas when someone from the Grommet approached her booth. “They immediately followed up and reviewed the product,” she said. “It all happened in the last few weeks.” Pinch Me Therapy Dough focuses on touch, sight and smell. Working the dough helps relieve tension, while the six scents are intended to draw positive memories. The choices include tropics, ocean, beach, spa, autumn and citrus. Additional scents will be released soon. In addition to her innovative stress reliever, Rothner introduced a new book, “Stress Relief in a Pinch,” in April. “It talks about molding the dough into different shapes that have symbolic meanings, emotions and associations for clients,” she said. The 66-page book lists the many ways clients can use Pinch Me Ther-

(Sept. 23, 2016) The National Association of Realtors issues a quarterly survey entitled “Housing Opportunities and Market Experience” (HOME). The HOME survey asks about confidence in the U.S. economy and various questions about housing expectations. The latest survey revealed that lofty home-price growth and tight supply are leading to softening confidence among renters about whether it’s a good time to buy a home. The survey also found that a misconception about how much of a down payment is needed to buy could be unnecessarily delaying some qualified young adults from entering the market. Heading into fall, the share of homeowners and renters who believe now is a good time to buy remains at a solid majority but has crept downward since the beginning of this year. Seventy-eight percent of homeowners (80 percent in June; 82 percent in March) and 60 percent of renters (62 percent in the previous two quarters) said it’s a good time to buy. In the inaugural HOME survey in December 2015, 68 percent of renters said it was a good time to buy. “This summer’s historically low mortgage rates injected some additional demand into the market, but the dearth of homes for sale continues to keep a lid on sales but not prices,” NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said. “Given the stiff competition and limited homes available at the lower end of the market, it’s not surprising at all that those under the age of 34 and in the West are the least confident about it being a good time to buy.” NAR also reported that this quarter’s HOME survey found that awareness of low down payment mortgage options was scarce across all ages, income brackets and education levels. Fewer than 20 percent in each group indicated that they need 10 percent or less to finance their home purchase. Those ages 65 and older (43 percent) and under the age of 35 (37 See DOWN Page 38

Coldwell Banker opens new office New location replaces 104th Street facility, will serve resort, Ocean Pines
(Sept. 23, 2016) Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage recently announced it has opened the doors to its new midtown location at 6405 Coastal Highway. This second Ocean City office location, selected to better serve clients in the Ocean City and Ocean Pines areas, replaces the 104th Street office; the 120th Street office remains open for business. Located at the base of the Route 90 Bridge, the new location is more easily accessible for the 70 percent of buyers that are traveling from outside of Ocean City. “The move to 64th Street allows us some additional distance between offices, making it more convenient for
buyers in Ocean City or travelling in via the Bridge exiting onto 62nd Street,” Shawn Guzzo, regional vice president – Baltimore region, said. “We could not be more pleased with the incredible strides that the Ocean City offices have seen over the years. We’re committed to expanding our presence by having two offices along Coastal Highway to better serve our agents and clients.” The 64th Street office will also house CB Vacations, the largest coastal rental company in Ocean City. “We are especially proud of our partnership with CB Vacations,” Guzzo said. “As the number one market-share company, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage continues to dominate the real estate market by delivering a world-class brand and a position as a real estate leader in the community.”

Down payment confusion also limiting buyers Continued from Page 37 percent) were the most likely to believe that they need more than 20 percent. “It’s possible some of the hesitation about buying right now among young adults is from them not realizing there are mortgage financing options available that do not require a 20 percent down payment, which would be north of $100,000 in some expensive areas in the country,” Yun said. “In fact, most first-time buyers put down much less. In the 35-year history of NAR’s ‘Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers’ – the longest-running survey series of national housing data – the average median down payment has been five percent for first-time buyers.” Along with an improving sales price average, rents also continue to climb and make it difficult for many to save for a home purchase. An additional option for about 19 percent of current homeowners is to receive down payment assistance from a parent or relative. Homeowners ages 34 and under were the most likely to say they received help from a parent or relative (34 percent), along with those living in the Northeast and in urban areas.

We’re One of America’s Most Wired Hospitals ®
There are more than 6,300 hospitals in the United States. This year only 6% of them have been named Most Wired® by the American Hospital Association and Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Atlantic General is one of those few hospitals. AGH was evaluated on 32 separate points of clinical quality and safety, administrative management and infrastructure covering everything from electronic health records to giving patients portal access to their personal health information. Being named a Most Wired® hospital shows our commitment to be the region’s fully state-of-the-art facility – assuring you access to the best quality healthcare available anywhere.
Continued from Page 39 The tips are compiled by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and are distributed in an easily shareable format. “There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our members,” CAR President Linda Moran said. “Showing homes to strangers is part of what we do and it comes with significant risks. We are offering these safety courses for free because we want our members to be equipped with this knowledge.” NAR has designated September as National Realtor Safety Month. NAR’s Realtor Safety Program was established more than a decade ago to empower and inform members of potential risks they face in their profession and how to navigate them safely. Additional safety information is available at www.realtor.org/safety. The Realtor safety issue was pushed into the national spotlight in 2014 after Arkansas Realtor Beverly Carter was
kidnapped and murdered while showing a home to a person she thought was a prospective client. According to NAR’s 2016 Member Safety Report, which is based on a survey of more than 58,000 Realtors across the country, 39 percent of respondents experienced a situation that made them fear for their personal safety or the safety of their personal information. Among those members, 46 percent were women and 34 percent were located in rural areas like the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Many of the respondents reported that they carry a self-defense weapon, with the most common being pepper spray, followed closely by a personal firearm. Almost half of the participants (44 percent) said their brokerage has standard procedures in place for agent safety. Visit www.coastalrealtors.org for more information about CAR.

Decatur golf team holding top spot in Bayside South
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) Seven matches into the 2016 season, the Stephen Decatur golf team holds the top spot in the Bayside South Conference standings. The Seahawks earned first place in the first four matches of the season, and took second in the fifth. Last Thursday at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course in Berlin, Decatur finished runnerup again to James M. Jim Krall Bennett. Bennett’s foursome shot a combined 160 in the victory. Decatur’s group scored a 164 to come in second place in the eight-school competition. “Honestly, we didn’t play that terrible. We just didn’t have anyone shoot lights out, whereas Bennett had two players who performed really well and was enough to edge us out by four strokes,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. The Seahawks were led by senior captain Matt Kristick who tallied a 39. Junior Matt Kinsey (40), senior captain Tanner Leonard (41) and sophomore Emily Malinowski (44) also contributed in Decatur’s second-place finish. “It hurts to lose our home match at a course we know and love so well. Soon we will be traveling to venues that are closer to the Salisbury schools which gives them more of a home field advantage,” Krall said. “So more than ever our players need to step up their game and start posting low rounds if we want to stay on top in the conference.” Parkside landed in the third-place spot with a team score of 186. Worcester Prep, an Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference school, joined the Bayside Conference teams for the competition and finished in fourth place with a 195. Junior Austin Taylor led Worcester with a 45. Seniors Zach Wilson, Jon Ruddo and Reid Carey shot 47, 51 and 52, respectively. “We played tough despite the windy conditions. We are having some issues with being consistent,” said Prep Coach Scot Dailey. “They are continuing to work very hard which I am super proud of. We just haven’t been as consistent as we need to be so we can be more successful.” Decatur won Tuesday’s eight-school competition by seven strokes over Bennett at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin. Golfers had to battle steady showers and wind for the first few holes, but shortly after the sky cleared
and conditions improved. “The win is huge. It gives us some breathing room from our rival Bennett, who will not lay down and let us take the crown,” Krall said. “They will continue to bring their force every match…We won by seven strokes, but it could have gone either way if someone on my team had an off day. I’ve said it a million times – they have to bring their ‘A game’ every match.” Decatur logged a 164 to take top honors. Leonard carded a 39 to lead the Seahawks. Kristick and Kinsey tallied 41s and Malinowski recorded a 43. “There are many positives Coach [Don] Furbay and I are taking away from the match. One of our top players started off with a quad (4 over) on the first hole but never gave up and finished just 5 over, showing the tenacity and determination of a true athlete,” Krall said. “Another one of my top players is suffering from a wrist injury but pressed forward and contributed to our win in respectable fashion. “My most consistent player, Tanner, came in with the lowest score of the team (39) which is what he’s done all season, staying steady, and we lean on him every match,” Krall continued. “However, the most pivotal score, which sealed the deal, came from my 10th grade girl, Emily, who posted a 43.” Bennett shot a 171 for second place. Parkside and Worcester Prep tied for third place, both scoring 176s. Dailey, who is the director of golf operations at GlenRiddle, said it was an honor to host the match. “It’s the first time GlenRiddle hosted a Bayside Conference match and it’s nice to be a part of that,” Dailey said. “It’s also nice to play at home. The boys have a lot of experience there.” Tuesday’s match was the third and final time this season for Worcester to play with the Bayside Conference schools. The Mallards recorded their lowest team score out of the three meetings. “I thought we did pretty well. We did better than we’ve done in any Bayside match this year,” Dailey said. Senior Grant Brown shot a 40 to lead the Prep squad. “Grant’s been a little down and hasn’t been consistent so it’s nice to see him bounce back going into our conference season,” Dailey said. Taylor was “solid again,” Dailey said, posting a 42. Ruddo carded a 45 and Wilson scored a 49. “I was proud of the guys,” Dailey said. “Bennett and Decatur are a lot more solid than we are. Parkside has two studs and we tied with them.”

SD boys take third, girls get 4th at Rumble in the Jungle By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) The Stephen Decatur boys’ cross country team finished in third place and girls’ squad took fourth during the inaugural Rumble in the Jungle Invitational last Wednesday in Cambridge. More than 200 runners representing 20 schools participated in the event that Jody Stigler included three-mile races for male and female athletes. The top 25 finishers in each race received awards. “The competition was basically the same that we will face at the Bayside [Conference championship] meet so it gives us a pretty good idea where we stand at this point in the season,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. Cambridge won the boys’ event scoring 39 points. Kent Island came in second with 44 points and Decatur was third with 78. Junior Jack Reimer was the first Decatur runner to cross the finish line. He completed the race seventh overall (17:54.20). Also scoring points for Decatur were seniors Cameron James (ninth, 18:00.50), Javier Hernandez (14th, 18:13.90), Jared Massey (15th, 18:24.30) and
Ethan Janson (33rd, 19:44.40). “I thought the boys did OK. Jack and Cameron ran pretty well,” Stigler said. “I think the boys would have benefited from running more from the front of the pack at the beginning of the race. Our top four boys ran pretty competitively. We are still looking for some boys to step up and really take a hold of that fifth spot on the team.” Queen Anne’s tallied 66 points to take top honors in the girls’ competition. Kent Island finished in second place with 74 points, followed by North Caroline (81) and Decatur (95). Senior Peyton Dunham led the Decatur Lady Seahawks, crossing the finish line 10th overall (22:12.60). Freshmen Kailey Andrews (15th, 22:47.10) and Amber Whittaker (20th, 23:32.90), and juniors Laila Mirza (26th, 24:17.20) and Maya Knepp (32nd, 24:34) also contributed to Decatur’s fourth-place finish. “I thought the girls did well. They are starting to show some improvement which is encouraging,” Stigler said. “I thought Peyton ran pretty well. Hopefully she can continue that form and gain some momentum for the rest of the year. We need to work on minimizing our spread from girls one to five (and six and seven).” The next cross country meet is Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. in Easton.

WP golfers must ‘get better every day’ to stay on top
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) The Worcester Prep golf team came in second place, one stroke behind Salisbury Christian, during Wednesday’s match at Nutters Crossing Golf Club in Salisbury. “We played decent, but not good enough,” Prep Coach Scot Dailey said. “We tied Scot Dailey them last time.” When the teams competed in the first Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference match of the season on Sept. 8, Worcester and Salisbury Christian tied, both shooting 165s. “It’s going to be an interesting season. It’s going to be close,” Dailey said. “Salisbury Christian has gotten a lot better. They’ve definitely closed the gap.” The Jaguars scored a 167 to win Wednesday’s competition. Worcester tallied a 168 and Salisbury School recorded a 212. Senior Grant Brown led the Prep squad with a 41. “I’m proud of Grant Brown. He’s turning into the type of player I thought he would be,” Dailey said. Junior Austin Taylor and senior Reid Carey both carded 42s. Senior Jon Ruddo also contributed with a 43. “They knew it would be close. The fact that they didn’t win I think took the wind out of their sails a little bit,” Dailey said. “I was proud of them. They played hard. I think they realize we’ve got to get better and they can’t just walk out there and win the conference.” Wednesday’s match was the second ESIAC competition of the season. There are four regular-season conference events remaining. The next will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 3:30 pm. on Worcester’s home course, GlenRiddle, in Berlin. “I give Salisbury Christian a lot of credit. They want what we got,” Dailey said. The Mallards have won the ESIAC championship title the past nine years. They hope to get No. 10 this season. “We’ve got to practice and get better every day,” he said. “We have to work on improving each player’s weaknesses. We will host the [Sept. 28] match so we’ve got some home course advantage.”

Prep runners show improvement Some athletes cut as much as five minutes off their times from previous meet
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) The Worcester Prep girls’ cross country team came in second place during Wednesday’s 10-school event in Salisbury, while the boys’ squad finished in fourth. This was the second meet of the season for Worcester and it was much larger Keith Geiger than the first, which only included two schools – Worcester and Delmarva Christian. The Prep squad won both the boys’ and girls’ competitions. Although this week’s meet was larger, the Mallards were not overwhelmed or intimidated. They arrived early and had plenty of time to check out the course prior to the races. “There were a lot of schools, but it was fun. When you have plenty of time it makes a big difference,” Prep Coach Keith Geiger said. “You have the chance to walk the course and un-
derstand the course. It was the same course as last year, so the returners knew it.” All of the Mallards’ times dropped from the first meet, some by as much as five minutes. “Everybody’s times improved, which I figured they would,” Geiger said. The first five female runners to cross the finish line were Snow Hill athletes. Snow Hill won the girls’ competition scoring 15 points. Worcester tallied 74 points for second place and Pocomoke was close behind with 76. Junior Annmarie Cherry was Worcester’s top finisher. She completed the race in 25:21, good for seventh overall. Also scoring points for the Prep team were freshmen Ashley Laws (ninth, 25:25) and Damiana Colley (16th, 26:31), junior Marissa Grosso (17th, 26:46) and freshman Maddy Shanahan (36th, 30:29). “The girls did really well. Those times are a huge improvement,” Geiger said. “All the way down all the times improved. It will give us some confidence going forward that they know they can run an 8-minute, 8and-a-half-minute mile.” Although all of the runners have shown progress, Geiger said he was
impressed with Laws. “She works hard in practice – a lot of the girls are like that too – always going all out as hard as she can and it shows,” he said. Arcadia earned first place in the boys’ competition, logging 62 points, narrowly edging out Parkside, who scored 63. Nandua finished in third with 75 points, followed by Worcester (86). Prep senior Carter Hill crossed the finish line first overall (17:25). “Carter is sort of two-for-two this year in meets. I think he’s going to try his best to keep it going,” Geiger said. Senior Trent Marshall was the second Mallard to complete the race. He finished 11th overall (20:10). Sophomore Jack Walinskas (24th, 21:46) and juniors Connor Cebula (28th, 22:52) and Matt Wilson (32nd, 23:15) also scored for Worcester. “The boys did really well. They all got their best times of the year,” Geiger said. “If we can get two through five [runners] below 21 minutes that will be a big help. If we can pick up the pace, we’ll be a pretty strong team. We’ll be tough to beat.” The next cross country meet is slated for Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. in Easton.

WP volleyball team gets first victory of 2016 Coach Donoway proud of Lady Mallards’ hard work to secure win over Crusaders
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) The Worcester Prep volleyball team won its first match this season, taking down the Chesapeake Christian Crusaders on Monday in three tight games – 25-23, 25-21 and 25-23. “[It was] not too much back and forth. For the most part, we kept the
lead once we had it,” Prep Coach Keith Donoway said after the competition in Easton. “By the middle of the games we had a lead and then just kept ahead of the other team…We were able to win in three so that was great.” Donoway was Keith Donoway proud of all the Lady Mallards and said they worked hard for the victory. “They’re continuing to get better and I’m really glad they got the win be-
cause they needed a confidence booster,” Donoway said. “Coming back from a loss on Friday without having a practice before the match, and winning, is great. They weren’t discouraged with the loss and were able to come back with a win on Monday.” Donoway recently made some changes on the court and they seem to be working. One major adjustment was moving junior Caroline Pasquariello to the libero position (defensive specialist). “She’s a strong passer, she’s very
410-289-1283
athletic and she has good instincts. She knows were to be,” Donoway said. Monday’s competition was her second time taking the court as a defensive specialist. Of the 16 balls she received, she passed 14 of them right to the target – the setter. “That’s about 88 percent, which is good considering it’s a new position for her,” Donoway said. “We have some great hitters that we can’t use because passing has been all over the place. We’re much more consistent now.” See AGGRESSIVE Page 44

Aggressive serves and hits help WP keep rallies short Continued from Page 43 Juniors Sophia Bandorick and Camryn Sofronski, and sophomore Hannah Merritt had seven kills each. Senior captain Sara Young chipped in with six kills and 10 aces. “It starts with a good pass and we capitalized on good passes. Our hitters had a good game,” Donoway said. “To have that many hitters with six or more kills, that’s pretty good stats.” Once the Mallards had control of the ball they were able to put it away quickly because of aggressive serves and hits, he said. There weren’t many long rallies during the match. Worcester is scheduled for a road trip to Delaware today, Friday, to play the Indian River Indians at 4:30 p.m.

Annual Sunfest festival underway in downtown OC
Live acts from classic rock sounds to bluegrass music will entertain guests for free all weekend on indoor and outdoor stages during Sunfest in the inlet parking lot.
rade, Sunfest opened with a ribboncutting ceremony. “It is a fun event for people of all ages – families with children, grandchildren or just a couple enjoying a date night,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “No matter what time of day you can make it, there is always something fun going on. The event is one-of-a-kind and something that everyone should try at least once.” Live musical acts from classic rock to bluegrass will entertain guests all weekend, including a special performance by Kick It Out “A Tribute to Heart” to close out Sunfest at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25.

Ocean City’s 42nd annual Sunfest celebration kicked off Thursday with four days of arts and crafts, live musical entertainment, food and family activities in the inlet parking lot.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) One of Ocean City’s favorite events kicked off Thursday with area residents and visitors saying goodbye to summer and welcoming in fall with four days of arts and crafts, live musical entertainment, food and family activities during the 42nd annual Sunfest celebration. The festival takes place in the inlet parking lot under large tents with 300 vendors and food booths filled with treasures and tasty treats all weekend long, Sept. 22-25. Sunfest drew more than 200,000 visitors to the downtown Ocean City area last year and about the same attendance is expected this weekend. “We are really happy when attendance numbers surpass 200,000 people,” said Frank Miller, special events director for the Town of Ocean City. “It has been around 42 years and has proven itself. Sunfest has always been the keystone event for Ocean City’s summer season.” The festival opened Thursday morning with a parade down the Boardwalk from 13th Street to the inlet featuring Stephen Decatur High School’s marching band, cheerleaders and choir.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Sunfest will attract thousands to the resort this weekend with a variety of live entertainment on two stages at the inlet. The 42nd annual event kicked off Thursday and will continue to showcase local, regional, national and headlining acts starting at 10:15 a.m. daily through Sunday, with unique talents from Blind Wind and Island Fusion to locals Randy Lee Ashcraft & the Saltwater Cowboys and DJ Batman are all scheduled to perform free shows along with a dozen others. There are three ticketed headliner shows with Chubby Checker and the Wildcats starting it off last night. Chris Janson will have the audience singing along to his hits beginning at 8 p.m. tonight. On Saturday, rock ‘n’ rollers Eddie Money along with Sir Rod take the Sunfest stage at 8 p.m. “Seeing a live show at Sunfest cannot be replicated,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Smelling the salt air and watching one of the entertainers perform, only steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, is something everyone should do once.” Janson burst onto the scene last summer with the release of his certified platinum single, “Buy Me a Boat,” which is also the name of his debut album. He has been touring with Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton while performing songs from his new release including “Power of Positive Drinking” and his favorite single, “Holdin’ Her.” Money’s 1977 debut album went double platinum and featured his hits “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise.” He followed up with a number of Top 40 jams including “Think I’m in Love” and “Shakin.” In 1986, Money released Can’t Hold Back, which went platinum and featured the Grammy nominated duet with Ronnie Spector, “Take Me Home Tonight” in addition to “I Wanna Go Back.” These days, Money continues to tour across the country and has sold more than 28 million records. “We start out with the ‘60s, go to modern country and slide back to the ‘80s with Eddie Money,” said Frank Miller, special events director See CHRIS Page 51

Whether it’s a new vender, a new band or a new Eastern Shore treat to try. The event feels different then the year before, but also maintains the traditional feeling that people love about the festival.” Guests can watch 10 artists create wares in the demonstration tent and purchase them on the spot.

The West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50, just west of the bridge, provides free parking and a $3 ride-all-day shuttle service to and from South Di-

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) The sky above Ocean City will be filled with color during the 39th annual Sunfest Kite Festival, which began yesterday and continues until Sunday on the beach between Third and Sixth streets. The four-day festival draws thousands of visitors to the Ocean City Boardwalk for free activities hosted by the Kite Loft. “The whole point is to have a fun activity for families to come out and enjoy the flying of kites while spending time with their families on the beach,” said Jay Knerr, owner of the Kite Loft. “That’s what it’s all about.” Activities for the entire family are taking place throughout the weekend and include kite-flying lessons, games, candy drops and quad line demos. The demos are four line kites flown in formation standing side by side, similar to the Air Force Thunderbirds, and they will have up to 16 quad flyers, flying to music every day during the festival, Knerr said. A major highlight of this year’s festival is the attempt to break the world record for having the most Trilobite kites flying in the air at the same time. The current record is held in Portsmouth, England, with 21 kites. “These are large kites that resemble a prehistoric fossil,” Knerr said. “They are unusual looking and people love seeing the huge, colorful kites flying. On Friday [at 1 p.m.], we hope to have 25 Trilobite kites in the air.” If weather conditions are poor on Friday, organizers will attempt the
world record on Saturday. “People love these kites, they fly so well and look amazing,” Knerr said. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the first 60 children between the ages of 5 and 12 will receive a free kite. There will be professionals on hand to assist children with assembling and launching. Families are encouraged to meet on the beach at Fifth Street around 12:30 p.m., wind and weather permitting. “They are free and easy to fly,” Knerr said. “It is neat to see young kids flying kites and having a ball.” Two of the featured kites in a Giant Kite Air Extravaganza put on by regional flyers will be the flight of Whisper, a winged horse, and Mel, a 100-foot giant blue whale, both flown by Jeff and Joyce King of Annapolis. “I love to see the big kites,” Knerr said. “Every year we have two or three new ones. People are blown away and wonder how can something that big fly.” Later in the evening, dozens of kites will be auctioned off in the parking lot on Sixth Street at 6:30 p.m. “You can buy inexpensive kites, new ones or previously flown kites at a great price,” Knerr said. In addition, mass ascensions will be taking place each day where dozens of kites will be launched into the air at once. “Everyone is welcome to participate by bringing a kite or to watch. It’s a lot of fun,” Knerr said. For more information, call the Kite Loft at 410-289-7855 or visit www.kiteloft.com for a schedule of events.
Assortment of food, arts and crafts available at Sunfest By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Arts and crafts, food, commercial and corporate vendor booths will take over the Sunfest grounds this weekend in the inlet parking lot. Todd Unger has sold Natty Boh gear at Sunfest for the past eight years, bringing to the resort a range of short and long sleeve T-shirts in addition to hooded sweatshirts. “Those are our three primary items we sell there,” said Unger, owner of Natty Boh Gear. “Sunfest has a strong Boh crowd and draws unique crowds from all across Maryland and Delaware. We have a great group of people who visit every year. It’s like a family reunion with some of our customers.” He credits Sunfest organizers for running an organized event and looking out for the vendor’s best interests. “It has a family atmosphere and that’s what I love about the festival,” Unger said. “The vendors all know
each other and I look forward to going down there and catching up with people I haven’t seen since May [during Springfest festival]. I wish all the festivals I go to were that cool.” Along with clothing at Unger’s booth, hundreds of local, regional, commercial and national vendors will be at Sunfest selling a smorgasbord of items from jewelry and paintings to ceramics and crab dishes. There will be 182 arts and crafts booths set up in addition to 39 food and gourmet choices. “The arts and crafts at Sunfest are unique and whether you are shopping for yourself or someone else, you can always count on finding something that can’t be found in most other places,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “The food is also distinctive and offers a perfect sample of Eastern Shore favorites.” Events kicked off yesterday, Thursday, and continue throughout the weekend, when Sunfest is open

from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at the south end of Ocean City’s Boardwalk. “This year features some really different painted items including ornaments and mixed media paintings on both fabric and wood,” said Heather Wiles, special event coordinator for the Town of Ocean City. “Some artists have taken to the trend of repurposing. There will be lighted gourds, hair accessories and functional wood turned items.” Sherri Perzinski is a newcomer to Sunfest and will offer crepes, snoballs and beverages at her booth this weekend. “This is our first time ever and we are very excited,” said Perzinski, owner of Crepes and Crazes, which has a shop in Fenwick Island, Delaware. “I hope people come out, give them a try and enjoy it.” Customers can create their own crepe, which has about a dozen possibilities, using a list of spreads, flavors, toppings and dustings. Owners also have eight suggestions including their Strawberry Field’s bestseller with strawberry, cream cheese blend, pretzels, marshmallow and powdered sugar or Ben’s Best, which includes bananas, Nutella, peanuts, marshmallow and powdered sugar. “It is the size of a very thick piece of pizza,” Perzinski said. “Caramel Crazy is my favorite because it tastes like a Snickers bar.” Perzinski decided to give Sunfest a try at the suggestion of her Fenwick Island customers. “We have a store right over the line in Fenwick and everyone would ask us to do Sunfest,” she said. “After so many requests, we decided to see what it’s all about. A lot of our cus-
tomers will be at the event and it’s an opportunity for people who haven’t seen us in Fenwick Island to try out our products and then come visit our store.” Michael Prendergast, of Kid Agains, is bringing indoor and outdoor beach, camping, tailgate and yard games from Dover, Delaware, to Sunfest for the first time. “We were there in the spring [for Springfest] and the crowd really enjoyed playing our games,” Prendergast said. “It is a perfect fit. Love the crowd. They were some of the best customers I had the pleasure of seeing with in all my travels, and you can’t go wrong at the beach any day of the year, especially with our games.” Kid Agains won a Family Choice Award from the toy industry, has a lifetime warranty on parts and is offering 20 percent off online prices during Sunfest this weekend. “We say if you ran the game over with your car, let us know what pieces you need, and we will ship them to you at no charge and no questions asked,” Prendergast said. Sunfest guests will also have the opportunity to watch 10 artists create wares in the demonstration tent and purchase their work. “Each year Sunfest invites new artists to freshen the event,” Wiles said. “We strive for a great mix between returning favorites and new ‘soon to be favorites.’ Sunfest is onestop fun. You can browse almost 300 vendors in one place, grab a bite to eat and relax to great tunes on two stages and the backdrop is the ocean. It’s a great way to spend a weekend.” Visit http://ococean.com/sunfest or call 800-626-2326 for more information.

Rock the House for Recovery, Sun. Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction hosts fundraising concert
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Jam out to local acts this weekend while continuing the fight against heroin addiction during the Worcester County Warriors Against Opiate Addiction’s fundraising concert, “Rock the House for Recovery,” this Sunday starting at 4 p.m. For a $10 cover charge, attendees can enjoy three bands with diverse set lists, such as alternative rock group the Messengers, blues-inspired Swell Fellas and aptly named FunkShué at Trader Lee’s, located on the corner of routes 50 and 611, in West Ocean City. This will be Worcester Warrior’s first fundraiser since its inception in early April. “It’s cool how this came about, because as Worcester Warriors has grown, we’ve been trying to produce a fundraiser and find the right venue and event,” said Heidi McNeely, the group’s organizer. “All of a sudden, one of the Messengers decided he wanted to donate the proceeds to us.” From there, the idea grew into a small concert series that also speaks to the ongoing struggles of opiate addiction. In between sets, there will be recovering addicts and family members of recovering addicts that will speak. “They’ll be giving testimonies of what they’ve been through – and the hope that people can get better,” Mc-
Neely continued. A Chinese auction will also take place during the event featuring gift cards from Rosenfeld’s Jewish Delicatessen, Shark on the Harbor, and prizes from Malibu’s Surf Shop and local artists Jim Adcock and Kathy Denk. Worcester County restaurants have also donated food for the event, which will be free to the attendees. Conner’s Beach Café on the Boardwalk at Second Street, the Big Easy on 60th Street and Malia’s Café on Baltimore Avenue at 18th Street will provide dishes, and Main Street Sweets in Berlin will serve up desserts.
‘This event will give people the opportunity to feel like they’re fighting it.’ Heidi McNeely Trader Lee’s will also donate $1 for every drink sold during the concert to the organization. McNeely said that the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to people who are seeking treatment, or need financial assistance to cover travel costs to a facility. “The treatment options are so few and far in between [in Worcester]. There’s no outpatient facility, so most people end up going out of state. A lot of times insurance will pay for the treatment, but not the transportation,” she said. McNeely added that the support the organization has received from the community has been remarkable.
Worcester Warriors had exponentially grown throughout the summer, soon receiving attention from politicians and law enforcement professionals, educators and addiction specialists. “I have to be honest with you, if we had planned this three months ago, I would be sweating every detail,” she said. “But like everything else in our journey, it has snowballed. So many people came forward and said ‘yes, we want to help, we’ll want to do everything we can,’ and it’s been amazing.” Rock the House for Recovery will be a funky way to not only support the fight against opiates financially, but by rallying people behind eradicating the opiate epidemic. “I formed this organization because my son was addicted. I know how isolating and terrifying that was and the feeling that there was nobody you could talk to,” McNeely said. “As a result of the group, a lot of people are talking and realizing that you’re not alone and there’s people that support you. “This event will give people the opportunity to feel like they’re fighting it,” she said. “It’ll give a bonding with the rest of the community while having a great time enjoying fabulous music.” Rock the House for Recovery takes place Sept. 25 from 4-8 p.m. at Trader Lees off Stephen Decatur Highway in West Ocean City. The cost is a $10 cover charge per person. For more information, visit the event Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/2987968404976 32/.

Annual Believe in Tomorrow Beach Bash at Seacrets
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) Believe in Tomorrow’s Beach Bash on Monday will feature food from about two dozen local restaurants, unlimited beer and a chance to win more than $10,000 in cash prizes at Seacrets on 49th Street. The annual event helps raise funds for the Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street, which is open year-round to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. “It’s a fun night and people seem to enjoy this event,” Wayne Littleton, Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program coordinator, said. “It is a relaxed and casual evening. A majority of the crowd is local.” Last year, about 700 people attended the Beach Bash, raising approximately $40,000 for Believe in Tomorrow, he said. The party features a silent auction, mystery boxes, a wine wall and live music from Full Circle, but the biggest highlight is the food, Littleton said. “It is a taste of Ocean City,” he said. “Where else can you spend $50, have dinner, dessert and drink all the beer you want?” At least 27 local restaurants will provide food for attendees to sample while enjoying beer or sodas in addition to happy hour prices for wine
just about anyone. People rave about our shows and they draw people of all ages. Little kids who are interested in minerals and fossils to an 85-year-old hobbyist who enjoys beading.” Several vendors have participated in the show for decades, but attendees will find a couple newcomers as well. Customers can learn valuable information about the products by talking to the knowledgeable 32 vendors in attendance. The Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show is open today, 12-6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ocean City convention center. “There are a lot of unique pieces at this show and our selection of beads is extensive,” White said. “If you are looking for fine crafted and handmade jewelry not found many places, this would be the place to come.” Admission costs is $5 for the entire weekend. Youth 16 and under get in free with an adult, in addition to members of the military. Visit www.treasuresoftheearth.com for more information and a $1 off admission coupon.

ON GUARD
OC Beach Patrol’s last day on duty, Sept. 25
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) As you take a walk along the beach next week you won’t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will officially end the 2016 guarding season this Sunday, Sept 25. During our guarding season, Surf Rescue Technicians (SRTs) are in stands and fulfilling all three parts of our mission (education, prevention and intervention) on a daily basis between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. After this Sunfest weekend, the lifeguard stands will be removed quickly from the beach and we will no longer position SRTs along Ocean City’s beach until May 2017. At this time of year it is important for people to realize that the beach patrol is off duty and they should not participate in water related activities until the beach patrol is back on duty next Memorial Day weekend. We realize that in spite of our warnings a warm sunny day, even in October, will tempt some people to make the very poor decision to venture into the ocean. Please heed our warnings. The same rip current hazards that exist during our season, when we are making hundreds of res-
cues (over 2,000 for a season), are still present now and could possibly even be more treacherous due to tropical storm activity that is typical for this time each year. The ocean is no less dangerous than it was in late August and September. We have experienced an increase in wave action and surf in recent weeks. This resulted in a few rather busy days since Labor Day for the OCBP pulling people out of rip currents and making rescues under challenging circumstances with stands blocks apart. We have made over 200 rescues since the last week in August. Had some of these situations occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty there would have been multiple tragedies and families devastated. Unfortunately one situation occurred last season, just 90 minutes after the guards had removed everyone from the ocean and left for the day (7 p.m.) when a 7-year-old little girl was allowed to swim when guards were not on duty. This turned tragic and her family and everyone involved
is still feeling the heartbreak over this tragedy. Starting Monday, the stands will be pulled off the beach and lifeguards will no longer report for duty. We will be working to close down from the 2016 season, prepare our equipment for winter storage and begin preparations for the 2017 season. Even though we no longer have lifeguards on the beach, we will maintain an off-the-beach presence for a few more weeks (through Columbus Day Monday) with our Mobil Rescue Units. These Mobil Rescue Units 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 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 these mobile units and Surf Rescue Technicians already prepared for a possible response, effectively re-
duces the time from the original 911 call to victim contact and will hopefully result in a successful intervention. The OCBP will be in response mode like the paramedics or police. Typically, the nearest Mobile Rescue Unit will respond to the “swimmer in trouble” call, forwarded by a 911 dispatcher. Having the mobile units prepared makes the OCBP one step closer if someone needs assistance. When a rescue is needed, the rescue swimmer initiates the intervention while the driver who is also a trained rescue swimmer maintains radio contact with the Ocean City Communications Center and acts as backup to the initial rescuer and requests additional resources should the situation require any (EMS, Police, Coast Guard, etc.). Without the Mobil Rescue Units, 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, See DO Page 61

ON GUARD
Do not swim in unguarded water, OCBP says Continued from Page 59 this process may take tragically too long. The beach patrol’s response to this circumstance is to have Mobile Rescue Units already staffed and standing by throughout town as they perform closedown tasks. It is important however that people not depend on these Mobile Rescue Units as if they are lifeguards protecting their love ones. Without educating the public and actively preventing potential incidents, the beach patrol is unable to fulfill its mission and work in a proactive manner, therefore we are in a reactionary mode and cannot provide the coverage that the public is accustomed to during our regular guarding season. We have seen too many times when swimming without lifeguards and poor judgment turns into a tragedy with the loss of a life. Our saying, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” is a friendly reminder of the very serious warning, to only swim when lifeguards are on duty. The first priority of the Ocean City Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. Therefore, we strongly encour-
age 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 2017 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 2017 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. If you do see a swimmer in distress do not attempt to go in after them, or you may become an additional victim. We have seen too many cases where someone has tried to rescue a distressed swimmer and has drowned in the attempt. Especially tragic are the number of parents that have died in Ocean City while attempting to rescue their children who they have allowed to swim without lifeguards on duty. Instead, immediately call 911, know the location of the incident, follow the victim along the beach and remain on the scene until rescue personnel arrive and identify yourself to them. If the person goes under the water before rescuers arrive, it is im-
portant to mark the last seen position of the victim with a landmark on the beach to aid the rescues with the search. If the person does manage to rescue himself or herself, please let the responding personnel know that they are safely on shore. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety education feature. The beach patrol’s mission has three focuses: education, 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 number one priority. That is why each week we use this space to try and educate all of the readers of Ocean City Today. I truly believe that through the exposure in this newspaper that many lives have been saved and will con-
GRAND OPENING HAPPY HOUR
tinue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on the information that they learned to others. So if you have enjoyed this column and have learned any new information about beach or water safety, not only pass it on to others but take the time to thank the editors of Ocean City Today. Have a safe fall and winter and we will see you Memorial Day Saturday 2017 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family. So please don’t let someone you love enter the ocean when the SRTs are not on duty. It is not only dangerous to them but may put others in danger if they attempt to help you in an emergency.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker delves into science of popular Ratatouille dish By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) The colorful spectrum of fall is just around the corner and my culinary passion welcomes a change of season. The ruby red, golden yellow and apricot hues instantly take me back to a time when I was a student learning from the best. The Inn at Little Washington was my place of employment and moments of ingenuity and harshness set in. To be rated as the top restaurant and inn in the country is an honor but with that reality comes moments of bittersweet truth. To work in such an establishment one must possess a certain toughness and willingness to learn every possible aspect of the industry. I remember walking with Patrick O’Connell (owner and executive chef) through the gardens and asking him what distinguishes a restaurant from being No. 1 as opposed to No. 2, etc. His answer was far from what I expected, not that I had any idea of how to respond to my own question. I will never forget Patrick’s saying, “The smaller the details, the more important they are. It is the tiniest of particulars that sets you apart.” All top restaurants have incredible food, fabulous wine lists, gorgeous décor and the utmost professional staff, but it is the details that bring about precision. Skyline Drive, located in the Shenandoah Park, is only 9 miles from the Inn At little Washington. It has been years since I visited the

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker: Ratatouille is a symphony of flavors Continued from Page 65 stunning pageantry of color and ratatouille keeps nibbling its way to the forefront. The spectrum of fall have lead me to the subject of this Provencal specialty. For those not familiar with ratatouille, it is a rather simple dish that is composed of eggplant, squash, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes. But delicious ratatouille is another subject and is governed by the conditions of specifics. That being said, let us delve into the science of this popular delight. The problem with ratatouille boils down to one specific factor, water. Each primary ingredient contains more than 90 percent water. If all that liquid is not dealt with properly, one will end up with pulpy mess of ingredients that are indistinguishable in taste, color and texture. Three steps affect the outcome drastically: the method the ratatouille is cooked, the size of the cut vegetables, and the order they are cooked in. If you cook ratatouille on the stovetop, the heat must be kept low in order to avoid burning the food on the bottom of the pot, but this also means the liquid does not readily evaporate. The oven’s dry heat will evaporate the moisture with less risk
of burning and is much more conducive for this type of dish. Roasting the vegetables in batches increases depth of flavor and preserves the integrity of the produce. Start with the vegetables that are meatier and have less water. Then finish with veggies that will retain their shape and promote contrast in texture. Finally, toss the finished product with fresh basil, olive oil, salt, pepper and sherry vinegar. Farmers’ markets are still in full swing and tri-color peppers, purple eggplant, monster zucchini and pungent basil adorn the tables of goodness. Prices are good and freshness is guaranteed. Ratatouille is a symphony of flavors and fall is the perfect time to share its harmonious range of colorful foliage. Traditionally ratatouille is served as a side dish but it can easily be incorporated into your favorite brunch menu. A frittata embellished with ratatouille is a delicious and sophisticated touch. If pasta sparks your fancy, consider ratatouille combined with penne. It is a wonderful alternative to conventional pasta dishes. In other words, the possibilities are endless. Ratatouille is a healthy way to enjoy the bounties of nature.
Ingredients kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 large onions, cut into 1-inch pieces 8 large garlic cloves, peeled 1 ½ teaspoon Herbs de Province 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 bay leaves ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 cup chicken stock 1 ½ pounds eggplant, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces 2 pounds Roma tomatoes, cored, seeded and quartered 2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces 2 small yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces 10 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed 1 yellow and orange pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1 ½inch pieces 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 ½ tablespoons sherry vinegar 1. Place eggplant on a baking sheet. Add generous amounts of salt to the eggplant and allow to sit for 30 minutes. This removes the bitterness of the eggplant. Rinse thoroughly and dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1/3 cup oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil starts to come to a simmer. Add onions, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally until onions become translucent, about 10 minutes. 3. Add Herbs de Province, thyme, bay leaves, pepper flakes, chicken stock and cook, constantly stirring for 1 minute. Stir in eggplant and tomatoes. Adjust salt and pepper. Transfer pot to the oven and cook uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and starting to slightly brown, 40 to 45 minutes. 4. Remove pot from oven and using a potato masher, break down the eggplant and tomato mixture. Stir in zucchini, squash, peppers, mushrooms and adjust seasoning. Cook uncovered, until vegetables are cooked but still have a little firmness. 5. Remove the pot from the oven and stir ratatouille thoroughly. Discard bay leaves. Stir in basil, parsley and vinegar. Again, adjust seasonings if necessary. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil and serve immediately.

Life Crisis Center celebrates 40th anniversary with gala By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Sept. 23, 2016) The Salisburybased nonprofit enterprise, Life Crisis Center, which offers assistance to those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse, is marking four decades of service to residents of the three lower Eastern Shore counties with a 40th anniversary gala on Friday, Oct. 7 at the Dunes Manor Hotel, on 28th Street in Ocean City. Michele Hughes, the center’s executive director, said the gala will bring the organization full circle back to where it began. “The Life Crisis Center started as the Rape Crisis Center of Ocean City, so we are going back to our roots by having our 40th anniversary here,” she said. “We’re one of the very few programs in the state that started as a rape crisis center. Most of them started as domestic violence programs.” The all-volunteer group helps rape survivors to get through the process following the attack, including the medical exam and police investigation phases. “Only about a third of rapes are ever reported,” she said. “There’s a lot of victim blaming oftentimes. There’s
less of that here than elsewhere, but it makes women hesitant to report rape.” Hughes sighed as she revisited the need to dispel the notion that women invite unwanted attention through their dress or actions. “It should be obvious that you should be able to go out and have a drink without somebody assaulting you, but apparently that’s a bridge too far for (some) people to understand,” she said. “It’s the only place I know where in court its OK to ask about a victim’s sex life.” In addition to a 24-hour crisis hotline, and counseling for groups and individuals, the center operates a 19bed safe home for those escaping domestic violence. “Our case managers work with the women in the shelter who are victims of domestic violence,” she said. “These are women who need a lot of help because they’ve been isolated from the community by their abuser and also they don’t know anything about finances because they’ve never been allowed to have access to the checkbook. Many of them don’t even know how to write a check. “A hallmark of domestic violence is isolation,” she continued. “That’s See LIFE Page 68

Life Crisis Center hosts gala, Oct. 7 Continued from Page 67 how an abuser stays in control.” The center’s therapists work to create a plan with women trying to escape situations of domestic violence. “Where is it that you want to be and what is it that you want for your future?” she asked. “Once they’ve created the plan, then they work with them weekly, or sometimes twice a week, to help them get to the point where they want to be.” In a typical year, the center is contacted by about a thousand victims of domestic violence, Hughes said, and even by those beyond the tri-county area. “If you live in Ocean City and you have a sister who has become involved with someone who is abusing her, but she lives in Garrett County, you can call us and we can connect you, because we share a database of information and referrals from across the state,” she said. Each year the center also counsels about 150 children who are sexually abused, Hughes said. “In addition to the domestic violence and the rape crisis center, we also are partners in the three child advocacy centers on the shore,” she said. “We have seven master level therapists on staff and they do talks in the community about helping to
prevent child abuse. We do that for churches and community organizations.” Regardless of age or gender, the center provides assistance to all residents on the shore through its hurricane hotline. “When there’s a hurricane, you will hear them say on the television call 211 for information,” she said. “We are the 211 information and referral line for the entire Eastern Shore. The local jurisdiction send us information in real time about where you can go for shelter or fresh water and those kind of things.” Hughes said the center also helps residents address the needs of their elderly parents who live elsewhere. “They need to be able to find services for their aging parents and they can’t be there because they work here,” she said. “We can provide them information that will help them make certain their relatives get whatever they need.” In other instances, the center helps older adults directly. “Sometimes we get elderly people who know that they need help, but they don’t know what they need or how to explain it,” she said. “We can actually transfer them — we stay on the phone with the agency they’re calling until they get to the right person.” All services are provided at no cost

as grant funding finances its operation, Hughes said. “The (Maryland) state legislature recognized that this happens to people and they have an obligation to make certain that people get help because, after all, it’s a crime,” she said. “What the state legislature has done is to decree that every county has to have a comprehensive rape crisis program and that the state will pay for it.” Also Hughes said there is not a statute of limitations for seeking treatment for abuse. “We’re one of the few programs in that state that regardless of how long it’s been since you were victimized, we will always treat you,” she said. “We believe in being there for victims. “It doesn’t matter what you socioeconomic level is, it doesn’t matter what your level of education is, these are issues that go across the board,” she continued. “We have treated the wives of doctors and college professors. We have treated the children of politicians, all sorts of people.” Tickets for the Life Crisis Center’s 40th anniversary gala are available for $125 per person. Attendees can look forward to riverboat gambling, period dress and live entertainment. RSVP by Monday, Sept. 26.

White Marlin Mall features spacious free parking, a fresh open-air atmosphere, and a variety of afterseason specials. “The Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale will feature deep discounts on shopper’s favorite electronics, gifts, toys, paper goods, clothing, shoes, home accessories and more,” said Matt Mittenthal, vice president and assistant director of asset management at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, the mall’s leasing and property management firm. “This long-standing tradition in West Ocean City gives guests a great way to see the best of what the White Marlin Mall merchants have to offer.

In addition to the Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale, those who visit White Marlin Mall can look forward to special savings on Columbus Day Weekend, participate in Halloween Trick or Treat, and enjoy the annual visit by Santa Claus to White Marlin Mall during the holiday season. “As in the past, our Sunfest Sidewalk Sale coincides with Ocean City Sunfest,” Mittenthal said. “Like Sunfest itself, it is our celebration of the passing of the summer season and the kick off to all our fall and winter events at White Marlin Mall.” Built in 1987, White Marlin Mall with its 200,000 square feet of retail shops is located adjacent to the 180,000 square-foot Ocean City Factory Outlets. When both facilities are combined, they comprise the largest shopping center complex in the greater Ocean City area. In 2003, Greenberg Gibbons Commercial initiated an extensive renovation and re-tenanting program that successfully attracted new tenants such as Marshalls and Staples. An additional renovation and expansion took place in 2008 with the addition of four major establishments – Bed Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, PetCo and Michaels. White Marlin Mall is in West Ocean City, a half-mile past the bridge on Route 50 at Route 611 on the north side of the highway next to the Ocean City Tanger Outlets. White Marlin Mall stores are Marshalls, dressbarn, Dunkin’ Donuts, Five Guys, Park Place Jewelers, Staples Office Supplies Superstore, Dollar Tree, RadioShack, PetCo, Farmers Bank of Willards, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, FiveBelow, Cutting Crew, Jiffy Lube, Wendy’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, dressbarn, the AT&T Store, Pier 1 Imports, Michaels Crafts, Bath and Body Works, Sleepy’s, Wockenfuss Candy/US Postal Service Branch, Hallmark/News Center, GameStop and Nice Nails Salon.

Clean up Assateague Is. on Nat’l. Public Lands Day, Sat. (Sept. 23, 2016) For more than 30 years, the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup has inspired worldwide volunteer action to remove trash from the world’s beaches and waterways. Assateague Coastal Trust has coordinated a coastal cleanup at Assateague Island for more than 15 years. This year, the coastal cleanup and National Public Lands Day come together in 2016, the centennial year of the National Park Service, for a perfect trifecta in the great outdoors. Saturday, Sept. 24, is National Public Lands Day and an entrance fee free day. Volunteers should check in by 9 a.m. at North Ocean Beach Parking area in the Maryland District. The cleanup will end when the dumpster is full or around noon, whichever comes first. Coastal cleanup staff will assign volunteers to a beach or a bayside cleanup location and will provide tally sheets to track all the trash collected. Some volunteers will be transported to cleanup sites in park vehicles. Keep in mind, pets or small children requiring car seats or booster seats may not be transported in park vehicles. Bring work gloves, sunscreen, insect repellent and water. Small work crews will be organized the morning of the event to clean up the bayside on the north end of the is-
land. If interested in doing some dirty, hard work, wear sturdy close-toed shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy. Owners of private 4-wheel drive vehicles with an OSV pass are encouraged to remove trash in the OSV area, however vehicles without a pass are not permitted to drive on the beach. For information or if bringing a large group to participate, contact Kelly Taylor at Kelly_Taylor@nps.gov or at 410-629-6077.

County Jail in 2000, is a Berlin native who earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from Wor-Wic Community College and has earned a number of specialized certifications, including Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Investigator Certification. Mulligan is a Snow Hill native who joined the team at the County Jail in 2010 after serving the nation and completing a tour of duty as a soldier in the United States Army. Both men are vital members of the County Jail team who perform their duties with integrity, honesty and the highest level of commitment to serving their fellow officers and the inmates alike. These officers represent the philosophy of the Worcester County Jail and the motto of corrections to remain fair, firm and impartial at all times.
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Sept. 23, 2016) The 24th annual Berlin Fiddlers Convention returns this weekend with free live music by four local and regional bands, as well as competitions in multiple levels and categories. Berlin Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Larnet St. Amant said Fiddlers would stick with its “tried and true” formula and will keep to much the same schedule of events as during previous years. “It’s always been a really great event for us,” she said. “Friday night ends up being a nice, family vibe, and then Saturday we switch the stage [to] near the Atlantic Hotel end of town for the competition.” Last year’s band competition winners, local father-son duo Blind Wind, will co-headline the live entertainment lineup downtown starting at 7 p.m. on Friday at the north end of Main Street. Also performing Friday night is Grammy nominee Audie Blacklock, who will deliver a solo set and join Baltimore-based roots group Charm City Junction. Blind Wind and Charm City Junction again will perform on Saturday morning, starting at 10 a.m. at the
south end of Main Street, downtown. The competition portion of the event will follow at about noon, with categories that include adult and child guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and full-band. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. Also on Saturday, Charm City Junction bandleader Patrick McAvinue will hold a fiddle master class from 10-10:45 a.m. The fee is $10, and registration will begin at 10 a.m. Berlin Brewery Burley Oak will provide a beer garden on Friday and Saturday. Food vendors will include personal pizzas by Siculi Italian Kitchen and sandwiches from On What Grounds, along with several food trucks. The local group Country Grass will close out Fiddlers on Sunday with a gospel jam on the lawn of the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum from noon to 3 p.m. Steve Frene, co-owner of Victorian Charm, helped organize the event and will help run the show on Sunday. During the warmer months, he and the other members of the Country Grass have played outside his Main Street shop on Friday nights, often drawing sizeable crowds. A gospel jam, he said, is a long traSee BERLIN Page 78

Berlin Fiddlers Convention competition, Sat. Continued from Page 75 dition in bluegrass music. “The people in the hills who came up with bluegrass didn’t have big pipe organs or pianos or things like that, so they had bluegrass instruments accompany them with their church music,” he said. “Later, traditional bluegrass players would always include a gospel number or two near the end of the performance, or at the final day of the festival. It’s kind of interwoven there with mainstream bluegrass and mountain music, and a little bit of the old hymns done acoustic style, with banjo, mandolin and guitar.” Frene, who had a hand in organizing Fiddlers, said he always dreamed of adding a third day that featured an eclectic mix of performers. “It’s an invitation to all of the competitors and spectators, even if they didn’t play, they are welcome to come and join in, whether it’s playing with those that are performing or coming up and doing a song on their own,” he said. “Country Grass hosts it, so we always have a guitar, a bass and a mandolin, so if it’s just one person who wants to sing a song or one instrumentalist, we kind of facilitate it.” Other full bands have expressed interest in playing the jam this year, he said, including Blue Crab Crossing and Charlie Paparella.
“We kind of start at noon with the gospel thing, but we run out of gospel material after about an hour or two, depending on how many participants we have,” Frene said. “At some point we will just segue into regular, traditional bluegrass and an open jam. “We’ll be playing all the favorite bluegrass songs that we know and other people know, and it’s just kind of a cool way to get up and celebrate a great festival and have some fun with other musicians,” he added. This year, the three-day event was moved back to coincide with Sunfest in Ocean City. “We’re trying to pull people from Sunfest because all of the merchants in town requested that and we feel like that makes sense,” St. Amant said. “We’re excited and the weather looks great, and we’ve got lots of great new vendors, from pottery to art and plenty of handmade stuff. It’s going to be fun.” Nate Clendenen, who helped organize and will emcee the event, said attendees should “expect great fiddle music throughout the weekend.” “My highlight is always the convention on Saturday – seeing folks of all ages come together and perform this music, being a part of this artistic tradition, it’s timeless ... and genuinely American,” he said. “It’s going to be a ton a fun. I can’t wait.”
Throughout the weekend, St. Amant said she hoped the event would give those who are new to the town a taste of the unit, togetherness and collaboration that routinely happens in Berlin. “We all work together in this town and we want everyone come here and have a good experience. But also, we want them to leave wanting to come back and bring other people,” she said. “Take advantage of what we have to
offer. Go to a restaurant, see it all, but then know that you can come back and it’s going to be here again. “We’re all still going to be here,” St. Amant continued. “It’s always like this. We all want you to come back and we all have a good time and we all support each other, and we’re all pretty happy.” For more information, visit www.BerlinFiddlers.com or www.facebook.com/BerlinFiddlersConvention.

Commentary
Making sense out of plumbing code
The Ocean City Council’s current discussions of how to make the plumbing code clearer for people who want to do some home plumbing jobs themselves miss one important point: most people who have some idea of what they are doing are not going to go ask City Hall for permission. Why, for instance, would anyone check with building officials to see if changing a kitchen sink faucet or shower head requires a permit, especially when there is no way for these officials to know what is or isn’t being done inside a home? Yet, the original document, as created by the International Code Council, which involves building officials and administrators as well as industry representatives, would have a homeowner or occupant hire a master plumber to do the job. That is beyond ridiculous, which is why the council wants to make it apparent that hiring a professional for little fixes is not necessary. From a legal standpoint, strict regulations make sense, but on the practical side it makes no difference to a reasonably handy do-it-yourselfer. That is the problem with codes, which local governments are bound to adopt because of state mandates. They seldom take common sense into account and they tend to favor recommendations of the affected industry, which, after all, is also looking out for its own interests in the code-writing process. Where codes are vital is when a home is being prepared for occupancy by someone else who has no idea of what is behind the walls, under the floors or tucked away in a closet. Additionally, codes are designed to protect regulatory authorities themselves, so they have an answer if they are asked what can and can’t be done. That is why it is taking the council so long to insert some common sense language in the plumbing code. In the meantime, do-it-yourselfers can proceed as usual and do whatever work they feel comfortable doing. After all, it’s not as if the showerhead replacement police will be showing up for surprise inspections.

Letters to the editor Taylor for superintendent
Editor, I am a retired high school teacher of 39 years, 30 of which have been in Worcester County Schools. I coached and taught at Snow Hill High School for 18 years, and at Stephen Decatur High School for 12 years. The 12 years at Stephen Decatur High School were under the leadership of Principal Lou Taylor. I strongly recommend that you hire Mr. Taylor for the position of Superintendent of Schools for Worcester County. Lou Taylor was a superior leader as principal and as a representative for education in Worcester County. He made it clear from the first day of classes each year that our goal was to work hard together to educate and help each student grow and reach the best of his or her potential. He set a high standard for himself, his administrative staff, and teachers alike to work as a team to produce educated citizens. He worked an unbelievable amount of hours in support of our school and our community. I believe that Stephen Decatur’s high state and national academic rankings during his tenure prove this. While I was a staff member at Stephen Decatur, we were evaluated for accreditation by The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. We scored well on the evaluation. It was mentioned to me by several committee members that the entire committee was extremely impressed by our school. To my recollection, this is what was said: “One thing that stood out during our evaluation, was how your faculty and staff cares for your students.” They continued that, to their observation, the students could “feel” this and responded to it. To me, this is an example of how Mr. Taylor’s great leadership was manifested in a way that was obvious to all. Mr. Taylor should be hired as Superin-
tendent of Worcester County Schools. He is an experienced educator, administrator, involved citizen, and community advocate who will not rest until our schools shine as an example of what schools should be doing for our students. To me, there is no other choice. Robert F. Mitchell, III Berlin
Boardwalk performer blues
Editor, We are two of the oldest performers on the Boardwalk today. We would like to bring up four points for your readers to consider. The mayor and City Council spent over a quarter of a million dollars in legal bills with the Venables Law Firm and Guy Ayres Law Firm, before our law suit. Let me ask you, is it reasonable that nine pages of legal work should cost a quarter of a million dollars? Was this a wise expenditure of the tax payer’s money? Dogs on the Boardwalk have more freedom than the performers. While this ordinance was being passed, we the performers were never consulted in this formation of the new laws. Although we spoke at every public form, we were never heard! Lucian Controversy I’d like to say a few words on the Lucian Controversy. Isn’t it interesting that most of controversies occurred in front of the restaurant owned by the chairman of the Boardwalk Task Force? Lucian has performed in many locations on the Boardwalk and received no complaints. When Lucian complained a few weeks back about the new ordinance at a public council meeting, now it seems as if he is being singled out. Continued on Page 94

Millennials, money and sex
Letters to the editor Continued from Page 93 Damages Regarding damages, it is true that the first suit we filed was for a million dollars in damages. However, you must remember this was from last summer, in which we had to sleep outside on the City Hall lawn twice a week to get a desirable spot on the Boardwalk. That’s when Lucian caught pneumonia sleeping outside. We amended the complaint and revisited the claim to about $50,000 or about $5,000 a performer. For damages of a bad law that regulates us more than dogs on the Boardwalk. William A. Campion Sr., Berlin James Stark, Ocean Pines
They spent a lot of money
Editor, Bike Fest 2016 is over but serves as an example of how the system works in our Town of Ocean City. As you know, the Town of Ocean City (TOC), receives funds from taxes, fees for service, grants from county, state and federal sources. Every dollar received from these sources is the same as you and I carry in our pockets or purses – U.S. currency. The TOC, through the mayor and council, uses these funds to sup-
port the annual budget plan for the town and to pay for the costs of running the town government. In the process, the mayor and City Council earmark various sums to the operating units of the TOC, such as Public Works, Police, and Fire Departments, etc. In addition, and a case in point, the mayor and council designate various amounts to specific boards and commissions to utilize in their activities; in this instance the Tourist Advisory Board (TAB), which operates under the TOC Tourist Division. The TAB recommends to the mayor and City Council the allocation of these funds to their constituents, such as Bike Fest 2016, a for-profit organization that received $10,000 this year. Bike Fest owner(s) have received a total of $105,000, over the past four years in TOC funding. In addition, Bike Fest and similar groups have received considerable "in kind" support from the TOC such as police, fire, Public Works, etc. Bike Fest 2016 application for "in kind" services totaled $70,000 from the TOC. Residents might want to keep these matters in mind as they consider candidates in the coming city election. Joe Moran Ocean City

I am entitled, given the circumstances of By Stewart my age, to say, “These Dobson kids today!” Every generation reaches a point where its members can say that with impunity and then go on to detail how the younger generation either doesn’t get it, doesn’t do it, doesn’t know it or all of the above. My concern involves the “don’t do it” entry above, according to a study just published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, which, in case anyone is wondering, does not have a centerfold pullout featuring a highly photogenic person for whom “oooooooo” might be a both a spelling challenge and a multi-syllable word. The study, conducted by researchers from three universities, concluded that Millennials are having less sex than any generation in the last 90 years or so. The unanswered question is why, although one theory is that it’s difficult to engage in person-to-person social contact when you’re too busy tapping on the cellphone keyboard to meet anyone face to face, and the phone signal isn’t all that great down in your parent’s basement anyway. Obviously, it’s a good thing that fewer young people are out there dabbling, shall we say, but on the other hand I do worry that this upsurge in

abstinence might be extended longer than necessary and lead to a decline in the number of people who are or who will be responsible for covering my Social Security check. Procreation, after all, results in a larger workforce, which results in continued payments into the Social Security trust fund, which results in the continuation of my ability to afford cable TV, good sipping whiskey and impulse buying in hardware stores. In the meantime, these kids today barely get to know each other, staring constantly as they do at the tiny faces and lines of text on their “smart” devices, which, as advanced as they might be, can’t take you for a good time at the “submarine races,” as we used to call it. I am not suggesting that young people go out and you know what randomly — an approach my generation did for a while with mixed results, unless you count as a good thing a brief increase in the folk-singing population and the sales of cheap guitars. No, I am saying it’s OK to wait, but don’t expect your phone to handle it for you by pressing the pound sign or something at a critical moment. In fact, I wish all Millennials long, healthy and productive lives, because, in addition to being concerned about this phone fascination, I need the money.
