Signs to warn crowds about rowdy behavior Council backtracks from restrictive law for car event partiers

DOWNTOWN FIRE A fire on St. Louis Avenue, across from De Lazy Lizard, broke out last Friday, Sept. 18, around 1 a.m. The fire originated on the second floor, and displaced two ground-floor tenants. The city fire marshal’s office continues to investigate the blaze, one of several in the downtown bayside area over the past year.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) The City Council passed final versions this week of ordinances intended to control the resort’s automotive-related events through restricted trailer parking and mandatory posting of signs. Both ordinances are significantly less restrictive than what city officials had originally proposed several weeks ago – new laws that would have outright banned on-street trailer parking, as well as any sort of congregation by spectators in private parking lots and landscaping areas required under the city’s zoning and business li-

censing codes. However, objections from the business community resulted in the resort’s elected officials backing off from the idea of giving the Ocean City Police Department new powers over private property. “The public asked us to look for ways to do this that were already on the books and we found a way to do that,” said Councilman Wayne Hartman. Despite the apparent perception in City Hall that police were not allowed to address rowdy behavior on private property, word from City Solicitor Guy Ayres two weeks ago clarified that state law already prohibits creating a disturbance in a “public place,” which includes publicly accessible areas of private property, under the See CITY Page 3

Bike Week mostly tame, highly profitable course, the Ocean City Police Department indicated that service demand during this year’s motorcycle rally was up only slightly over last year, and actually down compared to 2013. “With the exception of a few motor vehicle collisions early in the weekend, we saw yet another successful and safe Bike Week with no significant criminal events,” said OCPD Public Information Specialist Lindsay Richard.

City to start sign initiative before fall events Continued from Page 1 state’s definition. Thus, rowdy event spectators lining Coastal Highway can still be arrested for creating a disturbance of the peace in a public place, even if that place is privately owned. To this end, the ordinance passed by the council this week requires all “public places” with parking fronting Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia Avenue, or Coastal Highway, to post signs in their lots reminding visitors that disturbing the peace is still against the law, even if they’re not on a public street. The city already has a sign designed, ready for production by the city’s Department of Public Works, and ‘Even though available to any they’re not property owner required until free-of-charge. “Our goal is the spring, we to invest in encourage something that property owners we think will help solve prob- to put these up lems and save prior to some us money on of the events w enforcement in e’ll see this fall. the long run,” We’ve had a said Mayor and acting City number of Manager Rick properties Meehan. already request Given that the signs.’ the city can do Mayor and the production in-house, the acting City signs cost only Manager $7.32 each to produce, Mee- Rick Meehan han said. With several hundred properties along the city’s main roads, this could cost several thousand dollars but it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to the OCPD’s overall cost of policing large, car-centric events. The ordinance will not require the signs be posted until May 1, 2016, after which property owners who have not posted one can be fined. However, the city is hoping to get as many signs out as possible in the

next week, prior to the arrival of cars for the H2O International Volkswagen/Audi rally on Oct. 3-4. Although the event takes place at Fort Whaley, a large number of event participants stay in Ocean City and cruise Coastal Highway, with throngs of young spectators often causing problems along the sidewalk and in parking lots. The week after H2O, on Oct. 9-11, Endless Summer Cruisin’ will hit town. While not as large as the spring Cruisin’ OC hot rod rally, some disturbance is still expected. “Even though they’re not required until the spring, we encourage property owners to put these up prior to some of the events we’ll see this fall,” Meehan said. “We’ve had a number of properties already request the signs.” The signs simply read “disturbing

the peace and disorderly conduct is a violation of state law.” Although this does not give police any new powers to prevent the use of private lots and landscaping, it does give officers and property owners added confidence in approaching rowdy car-watchers who should already know to tone it down. The second ordinance passed this week is, similarly, a modification of the city’s original plan to ban trailer parking on public streets and municipal lots during from May 1 to Sept. 30. Instead, in-season trailer parking will only be allowed for certain events, during which the city will provide permits only to registered event participants at a price to be set by the council. The idea is to allow parking by those who are legitimate participants

in the auto shows, while discouraging attendance by those who are not officially involved, and are trailering in their specialty vehicles just to cruise Coastal Highway and make trouble. When resident John Medlin observed that the policy would essentially create “two classes” of event-goer, Meehan replied “that’s exactly what we’re going for here.” Hartman also suggested that, when the council decides on a fee for the permits, it also look at hiking fines for parking violations, which are currently $30 per ticket. Hartman also asked if the city has the ability to tow illegally parked trailers. “We don’t know what the outcome will be as to how much people will challenge this,” Hartman said. “If we can start removing the vehicles, we’ll probably gain a lot more compliance.”

This is up from nine incidents over the Thursday-through-Sunday of last year’s bike week, but down significantly from the 17 collisions recorded in 2013. Similarly, total traffic stops displayed a continuing downward trend, with 332 stops resulting in 465 separate citations or warnings over the four days of OC ‘Everyone I’ve BikeFest.

The OCPD made 47 arrests Hotel-Motelduring the event Restaurant last week, includ- Association ing six drug arrests, seven weapons violations, and 17 drunk driving (or riding) busts. While these numbers are higher than the previous two years, 2012 saw 53 total arrests, including five for drugs, three for weapons, and 18 DUIs. The OCPD also saw significant assistance from state and county agencies. The Worcester County Sheriff’s Motor Patrol Unit recorded 62 traffic stops and one DUI arrest. The Maryland State Police logged a whopping 758 traffic stops in Ocean City and the surrounding areas of Worcester County from Sept. 17 to Sept. 20, according to an agency release. The MSP investigated six accidents, two of which involved motorcycles, and made 22 DUI arrests, of which four involved motorcycles. The MSP deployed 75 troopers in Worcester County in anticipation of the motorcycle festivities, the agency said. According to a briefing from the city, the OCPD’s Intelligence Unit was also closely involved in monitoring the presence of outlaw motorcycle gangs – members of the Pagans were said to be in the resort – although no gang-related crime was reported.

Resort braces for impact as H2Oi audience returns By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Although the actual event isn’t until next weekend, cars for this year’s H2O International show will likely be rolling — or scraping, given some of the ride heights — into the resort starting early next week. Colloquially known as H2Oi, this year’s show will be the 18th, taking place Oct. 3-4. It will also, quite possibly, be the make-it-or-break-it year in terms of Ocean City’s ability to continue dealing with its fallout. “I’m excited to hopefully clear up some of the problems we’ve had recently,” said show organizer Jay Shoup. “Quite frankly, there are a ton of oldschoolers, some of the older guys and even the young guys, who are here for their love of VWs and don’t want to deal with the nonsense anymore.” For the past three years in particular, H2Oi — a rally for Volkswagen and Audi enthusiasts — has become notorious for the level of disruption it causes in the resort. But very little of this is directly related to Shoup’s car show, which takes place at the Fort Whaley campground in Whaleyville, many miles from Ocean City. However, most of the show’s participants stay in town. As the event has grown, it has attracted an increasingly large number of hangers-on who don’t actually attend the Fort Whaley show. Instead, they cruise Coastal Highway in Ocean City to be seen by their peers. Traffic is frequently blocked by roadside spectators taking pictures for social media. Selfie sticks protruding into the roadway are common. Collisions abound. Impromptu parties in parking lots often turn into near-riots. Last year, a police horse was assaulted on two separate occasions during a large-scale altercation in the 45th Street Village parking lot.

This year, however, Shoup has already offered to pay the overtime for any additional officers the Town of Ocean City can bring on. Clamping down on the rowdies is necessary for the survival of the event, Shoup noted. “I offered to help with the cost,” Shoup said. “The city hasn’t demanded anything of me. They’ve been great to work with, honestly. I want the extra police presence, and I offered to help with overtime or whatever is needed to bring in more officers. Unfortunately, it seems like the Ocean City Police Department is pretty much tapped out in terms of manpower.” The OCPD is, in fact, expecting a number of officers from outside agencies to arrive for the weekend. “They’ve asked us for 50 rooms for officers coming in from out of the area,” Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Executive Director Susan Jones said. “Everyone is looking forward to a bigger police presence.” H2Oi is a two-day event, taking place this year on Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4. The show’s name refers to the more modern water-cooled VW/Audi engines, often used as custom tuners, as opposed the traditional aircooled Boxer-style engine found in older German cars. The show is a well-known venue for aftermarket racing parts suppliers, as well as for Volkswagen itself. Many cars arrive several days before the show, usually hitting a critical mass by Thursday. Last year, the OCPD recorded 2,148 total service calls and 51 arrests during the Thursday-through-Sunday span of H2Oi, Sept. 25-28. Those numbers are roughly in line with Cruisin’ OC, which saw 2,091 calls and 56 arrests over a four-day span this past spring. The numbers are also on par with any given four days in June, when the resort sees an uptick in police activity resulting from See ORGANIZER Page 7

Organizer to pay OCPD overtime Continued from Page 5 graduate partiers. Where H2Oi has typically stood out is in the sheer number of traffic accidents — 43 major collisions last year, as opposed to 26 for Cruisin’. These are often chalked up to distracted drivers, or vehicles with unsafe suspensions or extreme wheel camber. As Shoup and other attendees have noted, H2Oi seems to attract a fair number of non-European vehicles, brought in by younger, more reckless drivers who seem to want to impress older car enthusiasts. “The crowd we’re seeing is much more on the Japanese end than it is VW and other Euro cars,” Shoup said. “A lot

of these events are seeing an influx of people who have nothing to do with the shows. It’s unfortunate. I think the cruisers already got a pretty good taste of that earlier this year.” Regardless, Shoup’s main goal is to simply be able to continue with his event, which is generally considered the most prominent Volkswagen and Audi rally in the country, and second internationally only to the Worthersee show in Austria. Show cars at Fort Whaley number between 700 and 900, with gate attendance around 15,000 people. “It’s been a really fun event to put on, at least for the first 15 years,” Shoup said. “It’s only the last two or three that we’ve had to put up with some nonsense.”

Gail Blazer receives scholarship (Sept. 25, 2015) The Maryland Association of Floodplain and Stormwater Mangers recently offered two scholarships during its 11th annual conference. These scholarships are aimed toward community officials who would not otherwise have an opportunity to attend the conference and who would benefit greatly by implementing lessons learned upon their return to their communities. The Town of Ocean City’s Environmental Engineer, Gail Blazer, was selected as one of this year’s recipients. Blazer has been working in the field of floodplain stormwater management

for more than 30 years. Her attendance at the conference will help the town be more prepared in answering flood plain and storm water questions and inquires. “I’m thrilled to have been chosen as a recipient of this scholarship,” Blazer said. “I’m excited to learn about current issues and programs that can be implemented in Ocean City for flood protection and water quality improvements, and I am positive that attending the conference will help me better service our community.” The scholarship waives the registration fee and 2016 annual membership per individual awardee.

Pepper’s Tavern on 16th Street and the Boardwalk will be closing next week but hopes to relocate somewhere else in the resort, once again providing an outlet for independent art and music.

Continued from Page 11 and are, a group of people looking for that.” As Frank recalls it, King had originally purchased themed wall art for the tavern with plans to redesign it with an old-time seaside vibe – even if it was the wrong seaside. “He came in with all this decor he had bought in New Jersey,” Frank said. “They were all old pictures of the beach, and right at the bottom they said ‘Ocean City, New Jersey.’ It wasn’t even the right Ocean City. They were awful. I convinced him to let me take them down whenever I found something else and just put up whatever I wanted. I’m a thrift store junkie.” Today, the walls are lined with antiques, old skate decks, and customer art. The low ceilings of the bar area are scrawled with patrons’ writing and stickers from every conceivable corner of the world. The lip of the bar itself, which Frank plans to remove before he leaves, has been carved over many times with the names of those who sat there. In many ways, the tavern has survived in spite of the resort environment and because of it. Ocean City may seem like an odd setting for such a venue, but every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you want to sell the beach vibe for all it’s worth, you’ll also need a place for those who

want to drive the chorus to Margaritaville out of their heads with a little Dead Kennedys. “In this town, everyone is reaching for the tourist dollar so hard,” said long-time patron Marc Emond. “The tavern isn’t reaching for anybody. It’s literally underground - under the Boardwalk. You only know what it is if you’re already looking for it.” Emond, a fixture of the local skateboarding community (and cartoonist for this publication), remembers distinctly when post-skate visits to the tavern became commonplace.

‘That was the first time, for me, that anyone asked me to hang my art. It was the whole alternative art and music scene all in one place.’ Marc Emond “I guess it started because there were always skaters working there. Someone would say, ‘Hey, let’s go to the bar and see so-and-so,’” Emond said. “The thing about the tavern is that Jason never set out to say ‘we’re a skater bar.’ It was the natural progression of the way the place aged, rather than a calculated attempt to get a certain demographic. It’s certainly not a business move – skaters don’t have money.”

Besides bands that deviated from the typical Ocean City offerings, Frank also began hosting art shows in the tavern’s numerous back rooms, letting artists run with whatever they wanted. “That was the first time, for me, that anyone asked me to hang my art,” Emond said. “It was the whole alternative art and music scene all in one place.” Frank became the tavern’s curator though happenstance. Although King was known to his friends for his jovial personality and boisterous sense of humor, no one knew what to make of his takeover at first. “The word was that Denny-O was going to clean house, so a lot of the old employees left when he bought it,” Frank said. “One night, I was with him in his car and he took this long detour out into some cornfield in Berlin. I thought he was going to kill me and dump by body. Then he says, ‘You know, I brought you along to fire you, but actually I think I should make you the manager.’” King passed away almost exactly one year ago, on Sept. 29, 2014, of heart illness. Shortly thereafter, the Sea Scape’s owners filed plans with the city to demolish the motel and its associated storefronts, in order to build a Hyatt.

Tavern provided underground scene, literally Continued from Page 12 past year were put on hold, however. Originally, King’s estate had planned to renew the lease on the basement, but if the business had re-opened in King’s name, his creditors would’ve come knocking, and so the estate backed out of the deal. This past June, the tavern finally re-opened with financial assistance from Franco’s Pizza, the ground floor tenant of the Sea Scape. “Franco helped us out. The pizzeria is good for the bar and the bar is good for the pizzeria,” Frank said. “He took over the lease in exchange for whatever money we could make this summer.” That final lease ends Sept. 30. No renewal has been offered, although representatives from the Sea Scape have declined to say if, or when, demolition for the Hyatt will actually

occur. While some of the bar’s memorabilia will go to long-time patrons and friends, Frank plans to put the bulk of it in storage, in anticipation of finding a new venue and new investors in a re-kindled tavern. A “relocation fund” bucket sits on the bar. “The money will help pay for storage. We have no way of knowing how long it’ll be,” Frank said. The new bar will also have to ditch the Pepper’s moniker for legal reasons relating to King’s estate. Older patrons only refer to it as “The Tavern” anyway. “I’d like to go back to Tavern-bythe-Sea,” Frank said. “I honestly liked the original name the best.” Whatever the name, transferring the history of the old venue to a new spot won’t be easy. “Once it’s gone, there’s not going

Mathias reopens third span debate, dualization requests By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) At an annual meeting on transportation issues in Salisbury with Maryland Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn, Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38) unearthed a decadesold debate about adding more crossings between eastern and western shores. It was a continuation of a discussion between Mathias and Rahn started months before, as Mathias, an appointee to the Executive Nominations Committee, interviewed Rahn before his appointment.

“At a minimum, all cabinet secretary [nominees] come and tell you their plans and qualifications to see if we can support them,” Mathias said. During his meeting with Rahn, Mathias said he was “emphatic about the needs of the rural areas.” These needs include the Routes 113 and 90 dualizations and overall better access to the Eastern Shore from the rest of the state, up to an including better bridge access. “As the summer unfolded, the governor did certain things,” Mathias said, including rolling back tolls, deSee SENATOR Page 19

Senator pressing overall plan for Eastern Shore roadways Continued from Page 14 funding the Red Line and favoring a maglev train between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. “I wanted to make certain that in the governor’s pursuit of a maglev train there was also the pursuit of a more familiar study.” There have been numerous attempts at funding a study of a bridge, ferry or similar crossing in the past. Mathias said he’s been working on this issue for years, and has co-sponsored a bill to that effect. For the coming session, beginning in January, Mathias said he would review the previous bills and attempt to fashion a new proposal that could pass the assembly. During the transportation meeting in Wicomico, Mathias said he saw another participant address Secretary Rahn with a “constituent problem,” and noticed the quick action and responsiveness to the request. “I said I had my own constituent problem,” Mathias said, and delved into the possibility of a third crossing of the Chesapeake Bay. “Every weekend and every weekday during the summer we have a backup because of how desirable the Eastern Shore is,” he said. “I wanted to make sure we were queued up.” Mathias said it was vitally impor-

tant for the conversation to continue. “This area is an asset to the state beyond tourism. Our industrial sector, our technology and not least of all Wallops Island — everything desirable here has more and more people coming here,” he said. Another crossing could be the shot in the arm counties like Somerset could use should they be selected as an endpoint. “The goal is to take the pressure off the existing crossings. If that means a mass transit solution, hey — so be it. It’s critically important to continue the conversation,” he said. For Mathias, there is a plan behind the conversation. “One of the most effective things we do is strategic planning. We need to have one for the whole of the Eastern Shore to keep the ball rolling. The entire delegation needs to look at the practicalities,” he said. “Not everyone will think it’s the best idea ever — who wants a prison or a crossing in their backyard? We avoid that attitude by presenting facts, and this is the best way I know how to gather them.” Both Worcester and Somerset Counties will have their own meetings similar to the one Mathias attended in Wicomico last Thursday.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Shannon Simm made a promise to herself after her son Nathan, 2, had his leg amputated in 2013 due to fibular hemimelia, a birth defect where some or all of a person’s fibula is missing. “I wasn’t ever going to tell him he can’t do something because of his right leg,” she said. But new regulations, partly owing to a “60 Minutes” expose on fraud within Medicare concerning prosthetics, may make keeping that promise difficult. Response to the report, as outlined by the Amputee Coalition, involved investigations, reports, findings of fact and appeals overturning earlier decisions. “The intention was to try to curb costs and get rid of fraud and abuse. Medicare took steps to enforce better standards,” Dan Ignaszewski, director of government relations for the Amputee Coalition, said. “Unfortunately what happened, unbeknownst to the population, the regulations have all come out and delivered changes that caught people off guard.” In some instances, that means that a prosthetic device, such as a leg, would be considered a luxury and therefore ineligible for Medicare support. Effectively, Medicare is writing rules and enforcing a homogenization of options available to very different people with very different needs concerning a limb replacement. “Devices are determined by what are called K levels,” Ignaszewski said. “If you would get no benefit and no prosthetic, that’s K-zero. Someone high-functioning able to run or bike is a K-four.” There are three major areas of concern. If an amputee sometimes uses another device such as crutches, a walker or cane, Ignaszewski said — as Nathan sometimes does instead of attaching his prosthetic for convenience’s sake — they are automatically determined to be a K-one. “This could affect Nathan,” he said. Next are more specific concerns involving types of feet and certain sockets on the devices and how they improve mobility. The result is to be the appearance of a “natural gait.” “If you have a limp or some other issue you may be declined,” Simm said. Finally, the training and therapy involved in preparing for and using a prosthetic is, according to the opponents, taking a step backward. “Nathan would have to train on dinosaur-age equipment,” Simm said. “All of his little muscles would need to develop around a new leg.” While these changes only affect Medicare right now, and the Simms See LOCAL Page 26

Continued from Page 22 do have private insurance, with Nathan needing years of care as he grows, the concern is not just on today, but also tomorrow. “The insurance companies take their cues from Medicare. These changes could limit function in that he could be required to get a cruddy leg and not even pay for it. My son’s medical team should make that determination,” Simm said. As it is, every piece of the device is important. “Manufacturers want to limit the number of different parts they need to fabricate. For the majority of people, this will be a one-size-fits-all situation. Each stump, each fit and each socket liner is different. I’m fighting for Nathan but it’s important for everyone,” she said. “You’re not going to let him have his leg and I’ll fight you any way I can.” Fight they have. A petition has been submitted through the White House’s web site and gained the requisite number of signatures to elicit an official response “in a timely fashion.” They have also enjoyed some success on Twitter using the hashtag “notaluxury.”

Nathan Simm, 2, and mom, Shannon, 38, of West Ocean City are fighting proposed Medicare changes that would affect the way Nathan would be able to obtain prosthesis in the future. Nathan was born with Fibular Hemimelia, and had his right leg amputated in 2013.

“Simply, we want this rescinded. We want to get a new group together to make the right decision for patients. We’re working on getting that group together now,” Ignaszewski said.

Bookstore owners will close up shop after final weekend

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Roy and Ann Hansen, owners of Bookshelf, Etc., will be retiring from nearly 30 years of operating their used and vintage bookstore on 81st Street and Coastal Highway.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) After this weekend, the final page will turn at Bookshelf, Etc. on 81st Street. Owners Roy and Ann Hansen will be retiring, for the second time in their lives, after having run the business for 35 years. “We’re both retired from other careers,” Roy said. “We feel it’s time to do something else. Not having the business isn’t going to bother me at all. The customers are what I’ll miss, the camaraderie of being here.” In 1980, the Hansens said, their friends bought a condo from a woman downtown who, as part of a package deal, was also trying to get out of her bookstore.

“Roy had just retired, I was still working,” Ann recalled. “Our friends ended up with this business that they didn’t want to run. He was a dentist and his wife was a podiatrist. They didn’t have to time to manage a bookstore. So I said, ‘I know just the person.’” For the first six years, Roy managed the store in its original location: the former Ocean City post office on Somerset Street and Baltimore Avenue. In 1986, he purchased the business from his friends, and moved it to an old beach cottage on 81st St. and Coastal Highway. The store sells used books, some well-worn paperbacks for readers to take to the beach, as well as some vintage volumes for collectors. “The antique books that are really valuable I’ll put into storage and try to sell online,” Roy said. “Any of the other paperbacks we don’t sell, I’ll donate to a library or church.” The store thrived on a consistent customer base, locals and tourists alike, the Hansens said. “Some of our customers are thirdgeneration ... we’ve had a very faithful following,” Roy said. “Families have been coming down for the same week each summer, year after year.” The store even has a small section of foreign-language books for the European students who flood the resort on work-travel visas each summer. Classic literature is also in high demand. “I always try to recommend the classics to the students. They already know a lot of the titles. It’s what they read if they’re taking English in college back home,” Roy said. Despite the rise of digital media, there’s still a demand for inexpensive print material, the Hansens said. The biggest factor in stores’ closing is the natural march of the real estate market. “Last time I counted, I think I’ve seen 21 bookstores come and go in Ocean City since I’ve been here,” Roy said. “People retire, places close and become other things.” The location’s buyer is not planning to remove the structure, Hansen said, but will renovate the vintage building into a seafood restaurant.

Site analysis nearly complete for wind farm off Md. coast Italian firm’s US subsidiary working on deal to tie in to on-shore electricity grid

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) As a condition of their lease for two sites off the Maryland Coast, purchased last year for $8.7 million, U.S. Wind reports it has submitted an application to tie in to Maryland’s power grid and will spend the next few weeks analyzing data for a report due in early November. “The application and site assessment plans are conditions of the lease,” Paul Rich, director of project development for U.S. Wind, said. “We’re finalizing the site assessment plans and analyzing our work in the context of a number of other studies.” The other studies include environmental data that has already been collected and the determination if the site is a viable area for wind power. The plans must be submitted within one year of the lease, Rich said. Part of that site assessment involved a former Coast Guard 110footer, rechristened “Shearwater,” that spent weeks this summer examining the ocean floor for evidence of archeological or biological importance. It since has returned to Baltimore awaiting her next mission, Rich said. When the Shearwater first arrived in Ocean City in early June, it was delayed for about 12 hours because it nearly ran aground in the inlet. The Shearwater has, according to Rich, a nine-foot draft and the inlet is approved for a total depth of 12 feet, but the Shearwater discovered what some commercial and recreational boaters had already discovered — that the inlet is approved for and what it actually measures aren’t the same thing. After the vessel nearly hit bottom, the crew took the boat back out to deeper water and waited until the tide allowed safer passage. Meanwhile, the Italian firm Renexia won the August 2014 auction for the two Maryland sites through its U.S. Wind subsidiary. The sites are located about 15 miles offshore. The company expects to invest $2.5 billion on the project, according to the press release announcing the results of the auction. The zone is estimated to be able to produce between 850-1,450 megawatts of power, but the company plans to start with 500, according to the same release. The turbines are expected to power 300,000 homes.

OC Paramedic Foundation presents four scholarships (Sept. 25, 2015) Earlier this year, the Ocean City Paramedic Foundation created the Robert T. Adkins, M.D. Memorial Scholarship that provides financial assistance, for educational purposes, to those wishing to enter the field of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and for those currently employed in the field of EMS desiring to advance their certification, inclusive of a management degree in a related field of study. The Foundation recently announced that scholarships have been awarded to four applicants. The total value of these scholarships is $13,000. This year’s recipients are Ryan Whittington, Parker Shandrowsky, Ryan Bolger and Travis Hearn. All four scholarship award winners are affiliated with the

Ocean City Fire Company and have a strong desire to pursue the field of Emergency Medical Services. “The Foundation is delighted with the response to this new effort,” said Foundation President Buck Mann. “Our mission includes the training of Ocean City paramedics and what better way to do that than assisting in their education. This is certainly an excellent start to the scholarship program, one that will continue for many years going forward.” Dr. Adkins was very active in the development of the local emergency medical services system for the Eastern Shore and was instrumental in the education and training of the medical personnel “in the field,” our paramedics. He served as medical director for

Multiple charges Georgi Bebov, 23, of Ocean City was arrested on Sept. 16 after being accused of throwing a heavy metal and glass table from his second floor balcony onto lane three of Philadelphia Avenue. According to the report, Bebov appeared to be intoxicated. Police said a witness reported that she and Bebov were outside and that he was screaming profanities. She said she told him to calm down and he threw the table at her. Bebov was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, littering, reckless endangerment, dropping objects from a building, failure to obey a lawful order and making loud noises when prohibited.

Rogers was arrested and charged with fourth-degree burglary, trespassing on posted property, obstructing and hindering and possession of fourth-degree burglary tools.

‘Naked cowboy’ Stephen Lempicky, 26, of Dalton, Pa. was arrested on Sept. 19 for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct. An Ocean City police officer was on patrol in the midtown area when he was directed by multiple people to the “naked cowboy,” the report said. Police said Lempicky was found walking around Ocean City wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and it appeared he had been drinking.

Driving drunk

Burglary Ocean City police officers arrested Michelle Rogers, 48, of Delaware after she entered a rental downtown without permission on Sept. 14. Police reported the tenants said that Rogers entered the house and began spraying air freshener as if she was a housekeeper. In addition, Rogers allegedly had numerous interactions with Ocean City police officers during the summer. Police said the suspect was uncooperative and could not provide an address where she could be contacted.

Denise Bortz, 53, of Reading, Pa. was arrested on Sept. 20 after she allegedly ran a red light, which caused a motorcyclist who had the right-ofway to hit her car. The victim was severely injured and was taken to the hospital, police said. Police reported Bortz smelled of alcohol and was arrested for driving while under the influence after failing field sobriety tests. She was charged with failure of a vehicle to yield in an intersection right-of-way to another vehicle, failure to control speed to avoid a colliContinued on Page 33

Drugs Corey Cerklefskie, 25, of Dover, Del. and Taylor Vanderhook, 28, of Selbyville, Del. were arrested on Sept. 15 for possession of drugs and paraphernalia. Detectives from the Ocean City Police Department’s Narcotics Unit and the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team were on patrol uptown when they saw Cerklefskie not wearing his seatbelt uptown. Another officer arrived on scene with his K-9 partner who alerted to drugs in the car, according to police. Police said a search of the car turned up 15 wax bags heroin, a hypodermic syringe, a spoon with residue and three Suboxone strips. Cerklefskie and Vanderhook were charged with two counts of possess-

ing a controlled dangerous substance and possession of paraphernalia.

Resisting arrest Ocean City police officers arrested Douglas Rayner, 63, of Ocean City for operating his motorcycle while intoxicated and resisting arrest on Sept. 15. Police reported Rayner was pulled over for speeding, not moving over to an adjacent lane when passing a patrol vehicle with its emergency lights on and having an obscured registration plate. After failing field sobriety tests, Rayner resisted arrest by grabbing the holster of an officer’s handgun and assaulting him, the police report said Police said Rayner stopped resisting after being threatened with a Taser. He was arrested and charged with speeding, failure to make a lane change for an emergency vehicle, failure to properly position the registration plate to the vehicle, driving while impaired by alcohol, resisting arrest,

second-degree assault and attempting to remove a firearm from an officer.

Struck pedestrian Steven Frush, 58, of Baltimore, Md. was arrested on Sept. 18 on charges that he struck a pedestrian with his truck in a crosswalk downtown and driving while under the influence of alcohol. Upon arrival at the scene, Ocean City police found a female lying in the road and bleeding from her head. Police said the victim’s friend said she did not hear the truck and did not think it slowed down before throwing the female through the air. After failing field sobriety tests, Frush was placed under arrest, according to the report. He was charged with driving while under the influence, failure to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk, failure to exercise due care to avoid a pedestrian collision and failure of the driver to sound horn warning to a pedestrian.

Coastal Hospice beneficiary of Blues on the Bay, Sept. 30 Three hours of music, food at Macky’s Bayside; open bar included in $75 ticket

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) The eighth annual Blues on the Bay returns to Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on Wednesday night, Sept. 30, to benefit Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. The 54th Street restaurant owners, Pam and Walter “Macky” Stansell, provide the space and food for the fundraiser each year as the summer season closes. The event will feature three hours of music from singer and saxophonist Everett Spells, an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and views of the sunset over the bay. “The cool thing about Blues on the Bay is who comes: it’s the end of the season, it’s Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill, and folks come for a relaxed, fun time,” said Maureen McNeill, director of Development for Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care. “Just great food, plenty to drink and the friends you haven’t had a chance to relax with since before the summer season began.” Blues on the Bay is a major fundraiser for the Coastal Hospice by

the Ocean and brought in more than $25,500 in 2014 for the $5 million capital project. Overall, $3.5 million has been raised so far, McNeill said. Once built, the facility will house eight patient rooms for families or individuals in Berlin. It will also be an outreach center offering community-based palliative care, bereavement support, counseling and community wellness programs. The residence and outreach center will serve the four counties of Maryland’s lower Eastern Shore. “We’re building something this community needs: a safe place for the most vulnerable of our patients,” she said. “Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a medical facility that feels like home for those hospice patients who don’t have (and can’t afford) an able caregiver in their home.” The Stansells have been involved with Coastal Hospice for more than 20 years and Macky is a member of the Coastal Hospice Board of Directors. “It would be impossible to adequately thank Pam and Macky Stansell and their crew at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill for all they do to make this party a success,” McNeill said. “It’s a great night because they See FOOD Page 35

Walk Smart wins special award for highway safety

(Sept. 25, 2015) The Ocean City Police Department accepted an award on behalf of the Ocean City Pedestrian Safety Committee at the Governor’s Highway Safety Association’s (GHSA) annual meeting. GHSA awarded the popular “Walk Smart” campaign with the Peter K. O’Rourke Special Achievement Award, a nationwide award that recognizes notable achievements in the field of highway safety. The Peter K. O’Rourke Special Achievement Award is named after the past GHSA chairman and highway safety leader who served to make highways safer. The “Walk Smart Campaign” began in the winter of 2013 after the Ocean City area experienced a significant increase in pedestrian collisions in 2012. Since the campaign went into effect, there have been no fatalities as a result of a pedestrian collision. Two years later, the Pedestrian Safety Committee continues to see dramatic decreases in the number of pedestrian collisions and has experienced 50 percent less year-to-date in 2015 than in 2014. In addition to the Ocean City Police Department and Town of Ocean City, the Pedestrian Safety Committee is comprised of the Maryland State Highway Administration, Maryland Highway Safety Office and a number of private businesses in the Ocean City community. Without the support from partnering agencies, the “Walk Smart” campaign would not be possible.

ROBERT “BOB” HOPKINS BOYLES Willards Robert “Bob” Hopkins Boyles, age 71, died Thursday evening, Sept. 3, 2015, while in respite care at Salisbury Rehabilitation and Nursing Center from complications relating to previous stomach cancer. Bob was born on Nov. 20, 1943, to the late James R. and Clarinda Catherine Boyles of Sunset Beach Pasadena, Md. Bob grew to have many interests, one of them being music. In his senior year (‘61) at Glen Burnie High School, he was selected as drum major for the marching band. Bob excelled at the trumpet and played with the Anne Arundel County Junior Symphony. He loved boating and boat racing and crewed in many races and traveled as far as Canada to race. Bob was drafted into the Army and was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam war. Bob eventually decided that he wanted to move to Ocean City, where he had vacationed as a young boy, to raise his young family. So, in 1983, he and his family moved permanently to Ocean City. Almost immediately, Bob joined the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. He was assigned to Snorkel #11 and was an active member for 39 years and a life member. Another life long love of his was fishing. Bob fished the very first year the Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Tournament was formed. He looked forward every year for the first weekend in October to fish with his team. He would even start going through and polishing his equipment a couple of weeks prior to the tournament. For the first three years, he fished with “McCabe’s Hookers,” and the next 29 years were spent with “Bailey’s Hookers,” and for his last three years the six-member team was known as “The Cork Bar

Hookers.” He fished in the tournament for a total of 35 years. Bob was also a very active member of the American Legion Synepuxent Post 166 in Ocean City for many years. He then transferred, seven years ago, to Boggs-Disharoon Post 123 in Berlin. Bob is survived by his wife, Ruth Ann, and his two sons, Christian Robert, of Ocean City and Andrew James and his wife, Kasi, of Ellicott City, Md; two step-daughters, Jennifer Lynn Morse, of Ocean City and Samantha Garrett Bergenty and her husband, Todd, of Cherry Hill, N.J.; one sister, Patricia Ann Harris, of Pasadena, Md.; three grandchildren, Finley Boyles, Chloe Resnick, the “Creepette,” and Christopher Morse, the “Wildman;” one niece, one nephew and four great nieces. He will be missed by his many friends and of course by his beloved Chesapeake Bay Retriever “Charlie” who is so lonely without him. Bob’s remains are at the Maryland Anatomy Board and upon his return, notification will be made and a Memorial Service will be held. For those who wish, a donation can be made in Bob’s memory to Coastal Hospice, 2604 Old Ocean City Road, Salisbury, Md. 21804, or the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company, P.O. Box 27, 1409 Philadelphia Ave., Ocean City, Md. 21842. RONALD ANTHONY HOAR Ocean City Ronald Anthony Hoar, age 80, passed away on Monday, Sept. 7, 2015 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

WORLD WAR II: JOHN BIRCH

First casualty of Cold War killed on Sept. 25 By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Today, 70 years ago, a young Air Force captain, working for the OSS (the forerunner of the CIA) was killed by Chinese Communists near the 3,000-year-old Chinese city of Xi’an. Today the city has a population of 5.5 million and is the capital of Shaanxi Province, which borders Inner-Mongolia to the north. The young man that was killed was John Morrison Birch. Thirteen years after the young captain’s death, retired candy maker Robert H. W. Welsh Jr., co-founded the John Birch Society. Other co-founders included Harry Lynde Bradley, Fred C. Koch (founder of Koch Industries and father of the “Koch Brothers”), Robert Waring

John Birch

Stoddard and Revilo P. Oliver. The organization was named for the young captain because the founders considered that he was the first casualty of the “Cold War” with the Commu-

nists. Birch was born, on May 28, 1918, in the Himalayas, in what is now the Indian state of Uttarakhand. His parents were Baptist missionaries. He was raised primarily in Georgia and was graduated from Central High School in Macon. Following graduation, he attended and was graduated from Mercer University, magna cum laude, in 1939. After his graduation from Mercer, he enrolled in the Fundamental Baptist Bible Institute, in Fort Worth, Texas. It is now the Arlington Baptist College in Arlington, Texas. The Institute was founded by the anti-communist, anti-evolutionist, and fundamentalist Baptist preacher, J. Frank Norris. Birch completed the two-year curriculum in one and was sent by the World Fundamental Baptist Missionary Fellowship to Shanghai, where he learned Mandarin. After six months, he was sent to Hangzhou, in Nationalist-controlled China. The 7000-year-old city, located on the Hangzhou Bay, is the capital of Zhejiang Province on the East China Sea and today has a population of 7 million. After Pearl Harbor, the Japanese sent troops after the missionaries, so they left the city and moved to the coastal area. It was in this area that Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle’s plane and others from the famous bombing raid on

Tokyo crashed after completing their mission. The crews were rescued by Chinese civilians. Birch made his way there to help. When Doolittle finally arrived at the Chinese capital of Chongquin, he told Flying Tigers’ head, Col. Claire Chennault of Birch’s assistance. Col. Chennault brought him onboard as a 1st Lieutenant. When the 14th Air Force was formed under Chennault’s leadership on March 5, 1943, Birch was also incorporated. Because he was working in intelligence, he soon began working for the OSS. In 1944, he was promoted to captain and awarded the Legion of Merit, which is awarded, “For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements.” When the Japanese finally surrendered in August 1944, the Imperial Japanese Army was ordered to continue occupying whatever areas that it occupied until the forces of the National Chinese Government could take over. That obviously didn’t sit well with the Communists. In the Communist areas, fighting continued between the Peoples Liberation Army and the Imperial Japanese Army and anybody helping it. On Aug. 24, as Capt. Birch was leading a party of Americans, Chinese and Koreans to rescue Allied personnel in a Japanese prison camp, they were stopped by Chinese Communists near Xi’an. The Communists asked him to surrender his revolver. When he refused, the situation went downhill and he was shot and killed. The circumstances of his death are a bit cloudy. One version has the Communists binding his hands and feet, making him kneel and executing him with a bullet to the back of the head. He was posthumously awarded the

Distinguished Service Medal for “Exceptionally Meritorious Service to the Government in a duty of great responsibility.” Meanwhile, his parents were told that he was killed by “friendly fire.” Some time elapsed before an investigation provided the parents with the above-version. On Dec. 9, 1958, Welsh established the society in Indianapolis, Ind. and for a while the John Birch Society was accepted as part of the conservative movement. However, when it began to label presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower as Communist, and upon closer look that it was never for anything, but always against most everything, it fell into disrepute. Welch insisted that the war in Vietnam was part of a Communist plot aimed at taking over the United States. The JBS opposed water fluoridation, which it called “mass medicine.” When Welch insinuated that Ike committed treason, that was the end for most thoughtful conservatives. Leading conservative William F. Buckley Jr., editor of the main conservative magazine “The National Review,” accurately described Welsh and the John Birch Society, as “. . . far removed from commonsense.” After decades of “non-participation,” JBS participated in the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference, but was not invited to the 2012 Conference.

Decatur football team too much for Easton to handle

Members of the Stephen Decatur golf team hold the Ryder Cup after tying Worcester Prep in their annual tournament to retain the trophy. Pictured in front, from left, are junior Hailey Brown, freshman Emily Malinowski and junior Jamie Wilkinson, and in back, Coach Don Furbay, sophomore Matt Kinsey, juniors Bailey Warren and Matt Kristick, freshman Hayden Snelsire, junior Tanner Leonard and Coach Jim Krall.

Seahawks keep Ryder Cup trophy Decatur and Worcester Prep golf teams finish tied 8-8 in annual competition

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) After the first round of the annual Ryder Cup tournament last Monday, the Stephen Decatur and Worcester Prep golf teams were tied 4-4. The first four matches at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin were partners Best Ball format for five holes. Worcester Prep, a private school of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, won three of the four matches. Earning victories for the Mallards were pairs, sophomore Austin Taylor/junior Jon Ruddo, senior Bennett Truitt/junior Thomas Polk and junior Grant Brown/freshman Jacob Meakin. The team of junior captain Matt Kristick and sophomore Matt Kinsey earned the lone win for Decatur, a public school of the Bayside Conference, in the Best Ball competition. The second four matches were partners Alternate Shot for five holes. Decatur earned victories in three of the four matches. Partners, junior Tanner Leonard/freshman Hayden Snelsire, junior Hailey Brown/freshman Emily Malinowski and juniors Bailey Warren/Jamie Wilkinson logged victories

for the Seahawks. Worcester’s pair of senior captains Jason Cook and John Meakin tallied their team’s only Alternate Shot victory. The two squads competed in eight singles, nine-hole, one-on-one exhibitions in the Ryder Cup final round on Tuesday at Eagle’s Landing in Berlin. “Singles match play is like ‘gladiator warfare’ – head-to-head battling for a point for your team is thrilling,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. Kristick, Kinsey and Leonard logged victories for Decatur. Brown, Truitt and junior Zach Wilson won their matches for Worcester. Taylor and Snelsire finished their match in a tie as did Malinowski and Worcester junior Reid Carey. “The most exciting moment this year came down to the final match with Reid Carey from Worcester and Emily Malinowski from Decatur all tied going into the final hole. Overall both teams were all square. This final hole would determine who gets the trophy,” Krall said. “Freshman Malinowski, with nerves of steel, came through and tied Carey, which tied the entire match and allowed Decatur to retain the trophy. It was really cool seeing her handle the pressure like a veteran player.” “In an epic showdown between WPS and Decatur, the match ended in a tie, 8-8, which results in Decatur

keeping the cup,” added Worcester Coach Scot Dailey. “It came down to the last match which was all square on the last hole with the score tied 7.5-7.5. The match was tied and each team received .5 point and the [Ryder Cup] ended in a tie.” In the seven years the two schools have been competing in the Ryder Cup, this was the first time the competition ended in a tie. Decatur has taken home the cup six of the seven years. Krall said the 2015 event was exciting, to say the least. “Collectively, I feel like we played pretty well. Our top three players won their matches and we got a little help from a couple other players who tied their opponents, which helped us tie Worcester overall and retain the trophy for another year,” he said. “Both teams are made up of great kids who have a high level of sportsmanship. It’s a very friendly rivalry.” Dailey thought players on both teams gave it their all on Tuesday, despite the nerves of the friendly competition, he said. The Ryder Cup is a great experience for all involved, Dailey added. “The ups and downs of match play and a Ryder Cup format are almost too much to bear. WPS was down early and it did not look good for our team, but our kids battled back and turned the match around to make it See WORCESTER Page 44

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) The Stephen Decatur football team put 40 points on the board and held the Easton Warriors to nine during last Friday’s game at Seahawk Stadium in Berlin. “We’re playing a little better each week and hopefully it will continue,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. “As long as we keep getting better, I’m happy.” Easton recovered its opening kickoff, but the Decatur defense contained its opponent. “The defense held them so they kicked a field goal,” Knox said. The visiting Warriors led 3-0 with nine minutes remaining in the first quarter. Less than two minutes later, Decatur junior quarterback Darion McKenzie handed the ball off to senior captain Dryden Brous, who ran it 62 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore John Ford’s extra-point attempt was good to give Decatur a 7-3 lead. “We took it down and scored. It was a good way to answer [Easton’s play],” Knox said. “Our kids responded really well I thought…We need to be more consistent on the offensive line. The offensive line sets the tone for the game, in my opinion.” About two minutes into the second quarter, a snap to McKenzie was high, nearly over his head. He bobbled the ball, but got it under control, looking for an open teammate to throw to. At the 35-yard line, McKenzie carried the ball through a crowd of players and scored. “He made an athletic play,” Knox said. Ford’s kick ricocheted off the post but was good and Decatur pulled ahead 14-3. With just under four minutes left in the first half, McKenzie saw junior Tyree Henry and launched a pass from 27 yards out. Henry, sandwiched between two Easton players near the end zone, caught the pass after it tipped off the hands of the Warrior in front of him and into his arms. Henry’s touchdown boosted the Seahawks’ lead to 21-3. About five seconds before halftime, Easton scored, but the extra-point attempt was blocked by Brous. Decatur started the fourth quarter with the ball on the five yard line. Just six seconds into the final quarter, McKenzie handed the ball off to junior Ed Zonnak who ran it into the end zone. Ford’s kick was blocked. Brous increased Decatur’s advanSee WE’RE Page 44

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) Worcester Prep cross country Coach Keith Geiger continues to be amazed by his runners during the first year of the program’s existence. On Tuesday, the boys’ squad took first place and the girls’ team finished second during the seven-school meet in Salisbury. “I’m honestly surprised that we are doing this well. I didn’t expect to win any meets our first year,” Geiger said. Tuesday’s competition was only their second meet ever. “Our team is just filled with great kids with a ton of selfdiscipline and internal motivation.” Leading the boys’ team was junior Carter Hill, who crossed the finish line first out of 38 runners. “Carter Hill is really turning into an amazing runner,” Geiger said. “In only his second meet ever, he won, and broke into the 16-minute range; 16:50 is an amazing time.” Also contributing to the victory was junior Trent Marshall (fourth, 19:15), sophomores Connor Cebula (eighth, 20:14) and Matt Wilson (ninth, 20:15) and freshman Jack Walinskas (20th, 22:22). Worcester scored 38 points for first

place. Wi-Hi was second with 46 points and Pocomoke finished in third (52). Sophomore Lillybelle Baker was the first Lady Mallard to complete the race. She finished third overall (22:47) out of 37 runners and cut her time by about a minute from the last meet, Geiger said. Senior Lauren Dykes (fifth, 23:42), sophomore Annemarie Cherry (seventh, 24:20) senior Sarah Koon (ninth, 24:57) and junior Lauren Gosnear (27th, 30:26) also scored points for Worcester. Snow Hill won the girls’ competition with 30 points, followed by Worcester (46) and Salisbury School (62). “I expected the times to be better because we were more familiar with the route. It was also not as hot and humid [as the Sept. 16 meet],” Geiger said. “But I don’t think I expected the times to improve this much. Basically, everyone on the team dropped their times. Some kids cut two or three minutes from last week, which is really amazing. I think everyone now knows what to expect from a meet, and they are more comfortable.” See GEIGER Page 45

SD Lady Seahawks shut out Eagles By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) It took a few minutes for the Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team to adapt to the Snow Hill Eagles’ turf field on Monday, but once the Lady Seahawks settled in they took it to their opponent. “In the first half it was a little sloppy. The field is a lot faster and it was kind of like pinball in the beginning, but once we got the feel of it then we started playing our game,” Decatur Coach Maggie Burke said after the Seahawks’ 9-0 shutout. “In the second half it was goal

after goal. We kept finding the net.” Junior Lexie VanKirk scored twice in the first half and senior captain Erin Smith tallied one to give Decatur a 3-0 advantage. VanKirk netted three in the second half to finish the game with four goals. Juniors Claire Porter, Brigitte Ardis and Maria Karacoulakis, and senior Maury Izzett, chipped in with one goal apiece. Senior Lexi Gausepohl played in goal the first half and stopped six Snow Hill shots. Junior Rachel Florek made four saves in the second half. “We moved the ball around well and

we got the ball to feet. Our defense was on point,” Burke said. “We’ve made a lot of improvements from the first game to this game. The girls are back in the groove from last year. We should be able to keep it rolling and keep the momentum the rest of the season.” The Parkside Rams are scheduled to travel to Berlin today to play the Seahawks at 4 p.m. “It’s always tough competition,” Berke said. “If we can play as well as we did the last two games and score some goals like we did [Monday], we’ll be successful.”

Kent Island took second with 29 points and Easton was a distant third with 93. “The boys beat Kent Island for the first time in a long while, which is encouraging because they have won the conference for the past five years,” Stigler said. “I thought our top four boys ran well. Jack Reimer really improved upon his performance from a week ago. He, Javier, Cameron and Jared all ran well. Matt Alvarado is starting to set himself apart as our No. 5 boy, which is good. All of these boys are underclassmen and have room to improve, which is encouraging.” Kent Island won the girls’ competition with 28 points. Decatur finished second with 37 points and Mardela was third (93). Junior Peyton Dunham and senior Rachel Savage crossed the finish line third (23:19.7) and fourth (23:29.8), respectively. Alison Alvarado, a senior, completed the race seventh overall (24:17.8). Senior Lily Watsky (11th, 26:01.9) and freshman Davina Graybill (12th, 26:05.6) also scored points for Decatur. “The girls also ran pretty well, but came in second. Individually, I think Peyton ran really well,” Stigler said. “We were a pretty close second, so I think that bodes well for us through the remainder of the season. We had a meet against some tougher competition today and we will go to Hereford for the Bull Run Invitational Saturday, which will feature some tough teams on a tough course so hopefully we can continue to improve and show well in the second half of the season.”

Stephen Decatur golf team wins on challenging course

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) The Stephen Decatur golf team took the lead by one match over James M. Bennett in the Bayside Conference South on Monday, with a victory at the Ocean Pines Golf and Country Club. Decatur won the competition with a team score of 179. Leading the Seahawks was sophomore Matt Kinsey who posted a 43, which also earned him co-medalist honors with Bennett’s Ayden Whitehead. Also contributing to the Decatur victory was juniors, captain Matt Kristick, who shot a 44, and Hailey Brown and

Tanner Leonard, who both carded 46s. Bennett finished in second place with a 185 and Parkside was third (208). “With few exceptions, golfers from every school posted scores four or five strokes higher than their averages. Ocean Pines has a great layout but seems to be intimidating for most high school players,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “There’s a lot of out of bounds and houses line every fairway. Keeping the ball in play is crucial for a good score there.” The next golf match is scheduled for Tuesday at Nassawango Golf Course in Snow Hill at 3:30 p.m.

Decatur volleyball team gets wins over Bayside opponents

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Stephen Decatur senior captain Ellen Bargar drops off the net to pick up a ball played by North Dorchester Monday in Berlin. She had five kills, five assists, four aces and four digs in the win.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team earned wins over two Bayside Conference opponents this week. On Monday, Decatur hosted the North Dorchester Eagles and each game came down to the last few points. Tied 24-24, junior Lexi Fleeger tipped the ball down to give Decatur the lead. Senior captain Ellen Bargar aced her serve and the Seahawks won the first game 26-24. Before the girls stepped on the court for the second game, Coach Sara Patrick told her players to “focus on playing our game.” Game two was also a back-andforth battle but a kill by senior Hannah Saulsbury secured a 25-23 victory. Saulsbury scored the last point of the third game to end the match with a 25-23 win. Bargar had five kills, five assists, four aces and four digs. Fleeger chipped in with four aces, three kills and seven assists. Senior Marley Parsons contributed four kills and junior Claire Billings dug four hits. “I’m going to credit ‘the Mondays’ for this game. The girls looked a bit sluggish, but fought hard at the end of each game to pull out the win,” Patrick

said. “Looking forward to better play against Snow Hill on Wednesday.” The Snow Hill Eagles came to Berlin on Wednesday for competition. It took Decatur five games, but the home team pulled out a victory. The Seahawks outscored the Eagles 25-19 in the first game. Snow Hill won the second 25-21. Decatur came out on top 25-15 in the third, but lost the fourth 27-25. The Seahawks took the fifth game 15-13. “Snow Hill came out strong tonight. They had some of the best coverage on the court that I have seen this season,” Patrick said. “Decatur had to work hard tonight for the win. We had some great plays and showed good teamwork. Our captain, Ellen, not only worked hard on the court, but she was a strong leader, rallying her team to get the win.” Bargar tallied six aces, four kills, seven assists and two digs. Saulsbury logged three aces, three kills and a block and Fleeger recorded six aces and six assists. Senior Lauren Laque had three aces and five digs.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 25, 2015) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team scored six of its seven goals during the first half of Tuesday’s game against the Washington Jaguars in Berlin. “We moved the ball well and we moved off the ball very well,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said after the Seahawks’ 7-3 victory. Junior captain Jamie Greenwood Alton Walker put Decatur on the board about 10 minutes into the game. Three minutes later, senior Lupe Garcia made it 2-0. Kevin Beck, a freshman who was recently moved up to the varsity team from the JV squad, boosted the home team’s advantage to three at the midpoint of the first half. Junior Wyatt Church netted two shots in about two minutes, and Decatur led 5-0. Jake Forrester, a junior, provided Decatur with its sixth goal five minutes before halftime. Washington capitalized early in the second half, then added another goal with 26 minutes remaining in the contest. Church tallied his third goal of the day shortly after. The Jaguars scored their third goal on a penalty shot awarded for a Decatur foul in the box around the 20-minute mark. Junior goalie Noah Shockey stopped four Washington shots. “All the backup players played a lot in the second half. I was happy to see them move the ball around well, we just had some issues scoring,” Greenwood said. “It was beneficial because I got to see them do some things – and I saw some good things – and I could rest some of the guys with injuries.” If Decatur wants to represent the Bayside South in the conference championship game at the end of October, Greenwood said the Seahawks must win its final six matches. The squad’s next three games, however, will be challenging. Decatur will host the Parkside Rams on Tuesday, the North Caroline Bulldogs on Thursday and the James M. Bennett Clippers the following Monday, Oct. 5. All games are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. “They’re all tough games. This home stretch will make or break our season,” Greenwood said. To be successful, he said the Seahawks, “need to do all the little things.” “We need to work off the ball – go to the ball and not wait for it – play smart and finish. That’s the big thing,” he said.

MAD Engineering changes name to MAD Design Group

(Sept. 25, 2015) MAD Engineering, Inc., a leader in coastal architecture and engineering to residential, commercial and municipal clients, announced today that it is launching a branding campaign featuring a name change to MAD Design Group, Inc. with a new logo and brand identity. MAD was founded in 1980 by Madalaine Leszcz How and Harry B. How, III who were driven to better the communities they live in by finding a balance of efficiency, aesthetics, durability and value for their clients. In 1990 the company relocated from Baltimore to Ocean City where it thrives today. The values of MAD Engineering still guide the company today, which inspired it to update the logo to reflect its fresh, forward-looking approach while retaining the pioneer name and honoring the heritage. “When MAD moved to Ocean City in 1990 we began to also offer architectural as well as engineering design. To this day, we offer both services and our new name allows for our old and new clients to recognize our full service company,” Madalaine How said. “We appreciate being provided the opportunity to work on thousands of projects over the past three and a half decades and are excited to launch our new brand that stays true to our core values and vision,” Harry How added. MAD will transition to the new name and look immediately. There are no changes to MAD’s values, personnel or organizational structure.

OC tops online home rental market

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Drawing from about three-quarters of a million listings from its vacation-rental service, TripAdvisor named Ocean City one of the best vacation markets for homeowners looking to make a spare buck or two from rentals. The average price, according to TripAdvisor, for a one week, one bedroom housing rental is $832. Two bedrooms jumps to $1,078, three bedrooms gets $1,441 and four bedrooms are worth about $2,297 — although the service did not provide adjustments or information for the time of year these data were collected. “As long as the policies and procedures for renting in Ocean City are

followed, we think it’s a wonderful way for people to visit our town. Some people are just not interested in staying in hotels,” Jessica Waters, Ocean City spokeswoman said. “People have different interests, such as beds and breakfasts, condos or the big hotels.” A quick search on AirBnb.com, a site offering similar services to TripAdvisor’s, shows single room rates still averaging, in September, at least $100 per night on the island. TripAdvisor’s average rental price on the site for Ocean City is $154 per night for a one-plus bedroom stay and showcases more than 900 listings including hotel rooms. AirBnb has a higher average price of $216 per night for two guests in a whole house or private room and appears to focus

on single-family homes and condo rentals. Ocean City, which ranks eighth overall, joins 12 others in the listing, including Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, four locations in Florida and two in Alabama. “If you happen to own property in the below cities, lucky you — homes here enjoy some of the highest traveler demand on TripAdvisor Vacation Rentals,” said Laurel Greatrix, TripAdvisor vacation rentals spokeswoman. “This means when you’re not home, either short-term or longterm, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding paying guests. Average twobedroom rental rates in these cities vary from around $800 to upwards of $2K per week, offering a substantial extra income source to homeowners.”

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Various changes are on the horizon for the real estate industry. Below is a snapshot of the changes that will affect consumers and real estate professionals this fall and into the New Year. Know Before You Owe/Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: For consumers who apply for most mortgages on or after Oct. 3, 2015, the new “Know Before You Owe” mortgage disclosure rule takes effect. Here’s what will change: Four overlapping disclosure forms will be streamlined into two forms, the “Loan Estimate” and the “Closing Disclosure”. You’ll have more time to review your closing documents. Currently, lenders must give you your HUD-1 Settlement Statement disclosure 24 hours in advance, if you request it; after Oct. 3 you’ll receive your Closing Disclosure three business days before you sign the forms and accept the terms of your mortgage, no request needed. There has been a lot of angst in the industry that this new rule will delay closings, but there is only a three-business day review period added if one of three, very specific, and very important items are changed. The three changes that will require a new three-day review period are: Increasing the annual percentage rate (APR) by more than 1/8 of a percentage point for a fixed-rate loan or 1/4 of a percentage point for an adjustable-rate loan (decreasing the interest rate or fees doesn’t cause a delay) The addition of a prepayment penalty Changes in the loan product, from a fixed-rate to an adjustable-rate loan, for example However, many things can change in the days leading up to closing that won’t require a new three-day review period, including typos on the forms, problems discovered during a walkthrough, and most changes to payments made at closing, including changes that require seller credits.

(Sept. 25, 2015) Shamrock Realty Group, Inc., an independent and locallyowned Berlin real estate brokerage, has relocated to a highly visible Racetrack Road address that carries a long history in the Ocean Pines real estate business dating back to the 1970’s. Gary James, the founder and president of Shamrock Realty, along with Pam Wadler, company co-founder and vice president, opened the doors at their new location on Sept. 1. When opportunity came knocking, the company moved rapidly. Within three weeks of learning that the location would become available for lease, Shamrock had installed complete signage outside and achieved fully licensed operational status inside. James described the move as “things coming around full circle” noting that he and Wadler both began their earliest real estate careers in the same building that is home to their new office. Shamrock, which opened in 2006, is now in its 10th year of business, having expanded twice within its original location in the Grays Corner Professional Center on Route 50 near Stephen Decatur High School. The brokerage has grown from a handful of real estate professionals to well over 20 agents licensed in Maryland, several of whom also hold active real estate licenses in Delaware. Wadler, an award winning Realtor, and a past president of the Coastal Asso-

ciation Realtors (CAR), described the past few weeks as “a whirlwind.” Wadler added that the transition period “has been an example of how local brokers who are in competition with each other can coordinate their efforts and work well together.” The previous tenants, (led by another past president of CAR) have been “exceptionally professional and extremely cooperative” throughout the migration of business arrangements and logistics of relocation. In conjunction with Shamrock’s adoption of its new location, several

long-time local Realtors have affiliated themselves with the company. This includes two high-producing agents who were recently awarded industry recognition honors reserved exclusively for those with more than 25 years of real estate experience. While the date for a formal ribbon cutting will be announced shortly, Shamrock Realty Group is open for business at 11049 Racetrack Road (next to 7Eleven), with duty agents available on site seven days a week. For more information, call Wadler at 410-641-5000, or email sales@shamrockrealtygroup.com.

cate meighan inside going out ho was it that told me that things would slow down here in Ocean City once the summer ended? I’m not sure about you, but I think I might be even busier now than I was back in July. I’m happy to be able to say that the fifth annual OC BikeFest was a roaring success. If you were in the Delmarva area last weekend then I’m sure you were aware of it being Bike Week, especially since an estimated 150,000 cycles were expected to be on local roads. While a lot of the fun was centered at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street during the day and then live bands hit up the inlet parking lot at night, bikers were everywhere. While Bike Week events seemed to monopolize the OC area last week, they were certainly not the only thing happening here. A Paint Berlin Plein Air competition was taking place on the other side of the drawbridge in Berlin. The Worcester County Arts Council event featured artists painting the beauty that surrounds us in this historic small town. An exhibit followed the competition and it was announced that Christopher Best’s oil painting “Peach Shack” took home the top $1,000 prize. The 23rd annual Berlin Fiddlers Convention also took place last weekend in Berlin. It’s funny because while Bike Week appeared to dominate everything, I have overheard an awful lot of locals discussing how much fun they had at the Fiddlers Convention, proving once again that no one does it quite like Berlin. The Art League of Ocean City also kicked off its annual Sandcastle Home Tour last week with a Cirque themed Black and Gold cocktail party. The upscale event, held at The Gateway Grand on 48th Street, featured stilt walkers, a mime and hula hoop tricks from Airplay Entertainment, a group based in Philadelphia. Event chairwoman, Jamie Albright couldn’t have been more grateful for how smoothly the evening went. “It was a wonderful and dedicated committee of volunteers who organized it and supportive individuSee CATE Page 67

Sunfest under way in Ocean City Four-day festival features arts and crafts, food and musical entertainment

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) One of Ocean City’s favorite events kicked off Thursday with locals and visitors bidding farewell to summer and welcoming fall with four days of arts and crafts, live entertainment, food and family fun. The 41st annual Sunfest festival takes place in the inlet parking lot under large tents with more than 250 vendors and food booths offering treasures and tasty treats all weekend long. Sunfest drew more than 200,000 visitors to the downtown area last year and about the same attendance is expected this weekend. “With how great the summer has been and what the town has done, we expect a successful Sunfest this year,” said Frank Miller, special events director for the Town of Ocean City. “It has become a family tradition and is the anchoring event to celebrate the season.” The festival kicked off 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 in addition to Ocean City fire trucks. At the conclusion of the parade, Sunfest opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “One of the greatest things about Sunfest is that there is something for everyone,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Whether you are going with friends to dance to the music, taking your family to try the Eastern Shore delicacies or strolling the Sunfest grounds with a date, it’s the perfect event to celebrate the fall season at the beach.” Live acts from classic rock sounds to tribute bands will entertain Sunfest guests free all weekend, including a special performance by country band Philbilly to close out Sunfest at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. “Where else will you have the opportunity to hear free live music for 12 hours each day?” Miller said. Three ticketed performances start at 8 p.m. each night. Tony Orlando kicked off the shows with his rock and pop hits Thursday night. Tonight, country and folk music fans will flock to the stage to see Wynonna and the Big Noise perform.

Tickets cost $25-$50. On Saturday, 90’s alternative rock bands the Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors will take the Sunfest stage. Ticket prices range from $25-$60. “We have had outstanding headliners in the past and I think this year’s Sunfest headliners continue to bring great talent to the beach,” Waters said. “The Gin Blossoms and The Spin Doctors bring a new generation of talent to the Sunfest tents, adding a 90’s flavor to the stage that we haven’t had before.” Tickets for the headlining acts are on sale at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center box office on 40th Street. Box office hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Guests can buy tickets by calling Ticketmaster at 800-551-7328 or visiting www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the festival grounds until they sell out. In addition to live music, hundreds of local, regional and national vendors will be at Sunfest selling a smorgasbord of items from jewelry and paintings to deep fried Twinkes and beef jerky. “We have more than 180 arts and crafts artists,” Miller said. “There is See WATCH Page 62

For children, there will be hayrides on the beach, inflatables, a climbing wall and a craft tent. Also this weekend, Park Place Jewelers will host its sixth annual Sunfest Treasure Hunt on the beach Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. For a $15 donation to the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea, the first 100 to sign up each day get the chance to dig in the sand for prizes from gift certificates

Register for the treasure hunt at either of Park Place’s locations, on the Boardwalk at Second Street or in the White Marlin Mall on Route 50 in West Ocean City. Participants should meet in front of the store 30 minutes before the dig for a briefing on the rules. Treasure hunters can wear gloves, but may not use shovels and buckets. The hunt takes place rain or shine. Sunfest hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 2526, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. “An event that began as an effort by a handful of business owners to bring visitors back to Ocean City during the month of September has now grown into the top rated classic and contemporary craft show in the country,” Waters said. Because parking is limited, visitors should consider taking the resort bus to the festival grounds. The West Ocean City Park and Ride on Route 50, just west of the bridge, provides free parking and a $3 rideall-day shuttle service to and from South Division Street, a block from Sunfest. The Special Event express shuttle service will pick visitors up from the convention center, where they can park for free, and take them directly to Sunfest for a $3 ride-allday fare.

Assortment of food, crafts and art available at Sunfest

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) Arts and crafts, food, commercial and corporate vendors will fill three tents as well as the midway area of the Sunfest grounds this weekend in the inlet parking lot. Tina Parsons has attended Sunfest for the past 40 years, bringing to the resort Halloween and fall items that she sculpts and paints. “It’s my staple show. I love it here and it’s the best event on the East Coast,” said Parsons, owner of the Wicked Woods, which is based in Pittsville. “The same customers come back each year and we have evolved from country items to our Halloween treasures to keep customers continuously interested.” Along with Jack o’lanterns, dolls and witches at Parsons booth, more than 250 additional craft and food vendors will be under the huge tents selling an assortment of items from jewelry and paintings to handmade wire sculptures, funnel cakes and turkey legs this weekend during the 41st annual fall festival. “We have more than 180 arts and crafts artists,” said Frank Miller, special events director for the Town of Ocean City. “There is absolutely a mix of everyone’s favorites to new food items and more corporate vendors that we hope to expand in years to come.” Events kicked off yesterday, Thurs-

day, 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. Parsons and Apple Frankie’s owner Dwayne Pemberton of Fredericksburg, Va. both said Sunfest is the last “big hoorah” and closes out the summer season. Pemberton has been making funnel cakes, featuring flavored toppings such as strawberry shortcake and chocolate éclair, homemade lemonade and strawberry-banana fruit smoothies during Sunfest for the past 25 years. “It’s my favorite show with the weather being wonderful, friendly visitors and a hospitable atmosphere,” Pemberton said. “Who doesn’t like to go to the beach?” Devin Mack, of Drawn Metal Studios, is bringing his handmade wire sculptures from Baltimore to Sunfest for the first time. Each piece is created from a single strand of aluminum wire. “I heard about Sunfest from every direction,” Mack said. “As a nationally ranked show, it came highly recommend and I am very excited to participate.” Sunfest guests will have the opportunity to watch 12 artists create wares in the demonstration tent and purchase their work.

More than 180 artists, crafters attending Sunfest

Colorful kites to fill resort sky

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) The 36th annual Sunfest Kite Festival began Thursday 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. “Kite-flying is a timeless tradition that has been going on for generations from Ben Franklin to kids coming out this weekend to have fun,” said Jay Knerr, owner of the Kite Loft. “It’s an enjoyable day [and] anyone in the family can participate in.” Family- friendly activities taking place throughout the weekend include kite flying, 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 during the festival, Knerr said. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the first 75 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 at around 12:30 p.m. A highlight of the festival will be “Dragonfest” where giant kites in many different colors take to the sky and most are made in the Netherlands by Rolokite. “People will be impressed. They are custom made and it’s really cool stuff,” Knerr said. These massive kites are scheduled to fly around 2-2:30 p.m. on Saturday, depending on the weather, and look for an appearance on Friday, as well. Later in the evening, a cocktail party and silent auction will take place in the parking lot on Sixth Street at 6 p.m. where dozens of kites will be auctioned off. “There will be new kites, ones flown on the beach and a variety of bargains,” Knerr said. There will also be bol races, where a small parachute is tied to the back of participants. Children and adults can join the challenge with prizes being awarded to the winners. Two of the featured kites in a Giant Kite Air Extravaganza will be the flight of Whisper, the winged horse, and Mel, the 100-foot giant blue whale, both flown by Jeff and Joyce King of Annapolis. 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.

The annual Sunfest Kite Festival draws thousands of visitors to the Ocean City Boardwalk for free activities all weekend long.

Continued from Page 64 Corvettes on display and coupons will be handed out from Chick-fil-A representatives. “The outdoor music (and dancing), delicious food and exquisite art allow families of all ages to have a unique cultural experience, while also taking in the best time of year in Ocean City,” Waters said. “Add to that, being only steps away from the beach gives a bonus of being able to take in the sounds and smells of the ocean at the same time.” “September is the new August,” Mack said. “What better place and time to come to the shore for one of the best arts and craft shows in the country?” Visit http://ococean.com/sunfest or call 800-626-2326 for more information.

als and businesses who were sponsors. They all believe in the importance of the OC Art League,” she said. “We had about 250 people attend and support this very special event full of art in every way.

‘Out of Darkness’ suicide prevention walk Registered participants for Saturday’s event have raised about $12K so far

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention listed suicide as the 10th leading cause of death of Americans, but the second and third leading causes of death in Maryland school aged children, ages 10-14 and 15-24 respectively, according to its most recent report, in 2013. Locally, the Worcester Health Department became concerned with the results of the biennial youth risk survey, with the most recent results available from 2013. “Our youth answered higher than average in certain areas,” Jessica Sexauer, director of Worcester County’s local management board, said. The statewide average, Sexauer said, for “feeling hopeless for two weeks or more” is 27 percent, which equals what Worcester County students responded with. Worcester students reported making a plan to end their lives within the previous 12 months at 13.8 percent, which is higher than the state average of 12.5 percent, she said. Another eighttenths of a percent higher than the state average was the score for those “considering” ending their lives, where the state average is 16 percent. Saturday’s “Out of Darkness” walk, starting at the intersection of the Boardwalk and Caroline Street, will kick off at 9:30 a.m., rain or shine, with registration beginning an hour earlier, at 8:30. Participants will pro-

Annual Take Steps Walk at Northside Park set for Sat. Stroll hosted by Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation will host its annual Take Steps Walk at Northside Park on 125th Street this Saturday. Events will begin at 4 p.m. with registration followed by a short program, games and activities. When walkers take off an hour later, there will be two rotations around the center of the park. After the walk, participants can enjoy food, receive information about resources the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) provides and have the chance to ask Dr. Alyssa Parian from John Hopkins University questions. There will also be an awards ceremony. Dr. Jerrold Canakis, of Atlantic General Hospital, will be honored See FUNDS Page 72

ceed from the registration area near the comfort station to the inlet, turn around and march up to Sixth Street before returning to Caroline Street. Online registration, available through www.worcesterhealth.org, will close this afternoon. There is no cost to participate, but donations will be accepted. To date, individuals and groups participating in the 2015 walk have raised about $12,000, which is almost half of the $30,000 goal, but donations are accepted through the end of the calendar year. Locally, the “Out of Darkness” walk has raised about $100,000 in its four years. “Our overarching goals are help and hope. We lose 23 active duty veterans nationwide every day. It’s a huge issue in the LGBT community,” Ryan Newcomb, regional director of the American Foundation for Suicide

Prevention, said. The problem is, Newcomb said, the issue isn’t being treated as the medical issue it is, but often stigmatized or treated as a “dark secret.” “It’s like any other health problem. If you have kidney disease there are many different options,” Newcomb said, and those who have sought or are receiving care can “live a life of wellness, but with treatment.” Not everyone who contemplates suicide is necessarily ill, Newcomb said, but nine out of 10 people who have followed through on their thoughts have shown evidence of an underlying cause. The CDC doesn’t track data on suicide attempts specifically, but notes almost a half million people visited a hospital due to “self harm” behavior in 2013. Males are four times as likely to die from an attempt, but females

are three times as likely to try. The ratio of attempts to deaths is 25:1 for youth according to the foundation, while in the elderly the ratio is 4:1. “The correlation exists, and we’re the leader in the fight,” he said. The raised funds will support the foundation, which reports delivering $300,000 in grants to Maryland schools and universities specifically for suicide prevention. Newcomb also takes credit for the passage of Lauryn’s Law, a measure signed by Gov. Hogan earlier this year, mandating school counselors receive training and certification in suicide prevention strategies every five years as part of recertification procedures. “We’re hoping to expand that law. Our goal is to reduce suicide rates by 20 percent in the next 20 years,” he said.

Funds raised help provide patient support, education Continued from Page 71 this year for his service and commitment to patients with these debilitating diseases on the Eastern Shore. “Our Take Steps walks not only bring together patients, caregivers and supporters but 82 cents of every dollar raised through our walks goes straight back to our mission to fund better treatment therapies, provide patient support and education programs to fund research in order to cure these diseases,” said Misty Keets, walk coordinator. The event raises awareness and funds for Crohn’s Disease and Colitis research, which affects 1.6 million Americans with the fastest growing population being children under the age of 9, Keets added. According to the non-profit organization, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are painful, medically incurable diseases that attack anywhere along the digestive tract, while ulcerative colitis inflames the large intestine or colon. Many patients require numerous hospitalizations and surgery and most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35. “Awareness is key for our patients because there are no physical outward signs and most don’t look sick,” Keets said. “It’s hard for others to un-

derstand just how debilitating the diseases can be.” Most patients suffer after having multiple surgeries with portions of their intestines removed or a colon, which makes it impossible to leave the house and some take more than 30 pills a day that carry horrible side effects, Keets added. The Eastern Shore Take Steps Walk for Crohn’s & Colitis raised a little more than $53,000 last year. As of Monday morning, more than 150 participants are expected with a goal of raising $50,000. Registration will be available at 4 p.m. on Saturday and there is no fee to participate, although organizers encourage people to make a donation if walking. “We invite anyone who wants to come out and learn more about the CCFA, Crohn’s & Colitis and hear the progress being made to cure these diseases,” Keets said. Take Steps is in its eighth year with more than 145 events across the country scheduled in 2015. For more information about the walk, contact Keets at 443-276-0861 ext. 2 or mkeens@ccfa.org.

Final day on duty for lifeguards this Sunday Three-part mission of OC Beach Patrol: education, prevention and intervention

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) As you take a walk along the beach next week you won’t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The beach patrol will officially end the 2015 guarding season this Sunday, Sept. 27. 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 2016. At this time of year it is important for people to realize that the beach patrol is off duty and they should not participate in water related activities until the beach patrol is back on duty next Memorial Day weekend. We realize that in spite of our

warnings, a warm sunny day, even in October, will tempt some people to make the very poor decision to venture into the ocean. Please heed our warnings. The same rip current hazards that exist during our season, when we are making hundreds of rescues (more than 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 more than 200 rescues since the last week in August. Had some of these situations occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty there would have been multiple tragedies and families devastated. Unfortunately, one situation occurred 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. However, we will maintain an off the beach

presence for a few more weeks (through Columbus Day Monday) while we close down from the 2015 season, prepare our equipment for winter storage and begin preparations for the 2016 season, with our Water Rescue Patrols. These Water Rescue Patrols are mobile units that 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 See OCBP Page 76

ON GUARD

OCBP: Only swim when lifeguards are on duty Continued from Page 75 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 reduces 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 pre-

pared makes the OCBP one step closer if someone needs assistance. When a rescue is needed, the rescue swimmer initiates the intervention while the driver who is also a trained rescue swimmer maintains radio contact with the Ocean City Communications Center and acts as backup to the initial rescuer and requests additional resources should the situation require any (EMS, police, Coast Guard, etc.). Without the Water Rescue Patrol, a call to 911 would be answered in Snow Hill and then be transferred to Ocean City Communications who would then dispatch the nearest avail-

able EMS unit and fire department personnel. Although Ocean City emergency response time is the fastest in the nation, during a drowning situation, where minutes count, this process may take tragically too long. The beach patrol’s response to this circumstance is to have Mobile Rescue Units already staffed and standing by. 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. See PUBLIC Page 77

Public safety top priority of OC Beach Patrol Continued from Page 76 The first priority of the Ocean City Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. Therefore, we strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device. Since the beach patrol is off duty until May and we have explained the dangers of swimming unprotected, we do not expect to see you or anyone you care about in the ocean until Memorial Day weekend 2016 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Coconut trees prefer sandy soil, salty conditions

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 25, 2015) “He who plants a coconut tree plants food and drink, vessels and clothing, a home for himself and a heritage for his children.” This South Seas saying is appropriate for the most productive tree in the world. Every part of the coconut tree is useful including the roots, trunks, leaves, husks, fiber, fruit, sap, oil, milk and meat. The word “coconut” first appeared in the western world in the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers found this fruit freely growing on the tropical islands throughout the Indian Ocean. These explorers named it coquo (coco) because the eyes and mouth on the brown outer shell reminded them of the grinning face of a small monkey. A coconut is technically a drupe, a fruit where the outer part surrounds a shell of hardened endocarp with a seed inside. A whole coconut, as usually sold, is only the stone of the fruit, the husk having been removed before shipping, to lesson the weight and to be used for other purposes. The coconut tree is a palm that flourishes on the seashores in the tropics. It prefers salty conditions and sandy soil, but it also needs a constant supply of air to its roots. This is provided by the ebb and flow of the tide; the progression of lowering and raising the water levels draws air into the shallow roots. Palm trees generate all their growth from a huge bud at the apex of the tree which is called the palm heart. It continually produces leaves See VEGETABLES Page 78

If you do see a swimmer in distress do not attempt to go in after them, or you may become an additional victim. We have seen too many cases where someone has tried to rescue a distressed swimmer and has drowned in the attempt. Especially tragic are the number of parents that have died in Ocean City while attempting to rescue their children who they have allowed to swim without lifeguards on duty. Instead, immediately call 911, know the location of the incident, follow the victim along the beach and remain on the scene until rescue personnel arrive and identify yourself to them. If the person goes under the water before rescuers arrive, it is important to mark the last seen position of the victim with a landmark on the beach to aid the rescues with the

search. If the person does manage to rescue himself or herself, please let the responding personnel know that they are safely on shore. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety education feature. The beach patrol’s mission has three focuses: education, 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 ef-

forts and programs that we make our No. 1 priority. That is why each week we use this space to try and educate all of the readers of Ocean City Today. I truly believe that through the exposure in this newspaper that many lives have been saved and will continue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on the information that they learned to others. So if you have enjoyed this column and have learned any new information about beach or water safety, not only pass it on to others but take the time to thank the editors of Ocean City Today. Have a safe fall and winter and we will see you Memorial Day Saturday 2016 when the beach patrol will return to duty protecting you and your family.

Vegetables as tasty with coconut rice as meat Continued from Page 77 as the plant grows. If for some reason the palm heart is damaged, the actual tree can die. Nature has a way of protecting itself; many palms have sharp spines for protection. Coconuts as food are the next subject for discussion. Distinction is imperative so details follow. Coconuts contain white meat and approximately a half pint of coconut water. The sweet clear liquid is both low in calories and low in fat. Coconut milk is the creamy white liquid produced by squeezing the meat of the newly opened coconuts. Coconut oil is produced by squeezing the meat after it has been dried. Coconut cream is made with grated coconut flesh mixed with water, pressed and then strained.

Coconuts have traditionally been harvested by hand. Notches are carved in the trunk which allows men to climb up the tree. Tree climbers not only harvest the coconuts but they also trim the palm fronds and clean the tree’s bushy heads to prevent disease. Palm trees are dangerous for humans to climb; in addition, trying to free the coconuts which can weigh up to 10 pounds adds to the risky situation. As a result, monkeys have been trained to climb the trees and retrieve the coconuts. They are connected to their human handlers by thin ropes. As a rule, humans are faster but the monkeys have more endurance. Either way the animals are in high demand and represent a turn in tradition.

WELCOME BIKERS!

Coconuts and rice are a wonderful snow white combination. The two mellow ingredients blend to create a rich flavor that pairs wonderfully with many dishes. Chicken breasts in yellow curry sauce combined with coconut rice adds a creative twist that highlights the theme of sweet and savory. Black pepper-rubbed steak with the nutty rice creates a superlative but simple dinner. If one is in a tropical mood, consider sliced pork with lemongrass, chili powder, lime juice and the fruity rice. Coconut rice is mild enough to allow even the delicate flavor of fish to shine through. Vegetarians do not fret, vegetables are as tasty with coconut rice as meat. Coconut rice is quite tasty and so simple to make. Daily menu’s need a change and coconut rice is certainly an option. Enjoy!

Ingredients 6 tablespoons dry shredded unsweetened coconut 2 cups jasmine rice 2 cups good-quality coconut milk 1 ¾ cups water ½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon coconut or canola oil chopped cilantro and toasted co-

conut as a garnish 1. Place 3 tablespoons shredded coconut in a frying pan and “dry fry” it over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Coconut will turn a light golden-brown color. Set aside for garnishing. 2. Drizzle oil into the bottom of a medium-size pan. Using your fingers, make sure the entire surface of the pan is coated with oil. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the pan. 3. Add remaining coconut (3 tablespoons), rice, coconut milk, water, salt and stir until all of the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Turn heat to medium and bring rice mixture to a gentle boil. When bubbles form on the surface of the coconut water, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until all the liquid is gone. 4. Gently fluff rice with a fork. Readjust salt seasoning if necessary, you can even add a little sugar if you prefer the rice to on the sweeter side. Place cooked rice on a sheet pan, spread rice out and continually fork it so the temperature will down come. Serves 4 Secret Ingredient - Shame. “Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.” – Seneca

Victoria Middleton

Middleton named semifinalist for merit scholarship

(Sept. 25, 2015) Dr. Barry Tull, Headmaster of Worcester Preparatory School, announced that senior Victoria Middleton has been named a semifinalist in the 61st annual National Merit Scholarship Program. As a semifinalist, she will continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition and become eligible to become a National Merit Scholar. About 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. National Merit Scholarship winners of 2016 will be announced in April. These scholarship recipients will join more than 315,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.

Continued from Page 80 an individual that is newly diagnosed or currently going through treatments. The ongoing financial support the American Cancer Society gets from Poor Girls and the community allows the funding to go toward groundbreaking research and allows us to continue the programs and services that is offered.” The Pink Ribbon Classic Series was started in 1996 by a group of dedicated volunteers. Last year more than $335,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society’s fight against breast cancer. “I feel that the reason our series of events has been so successful is that our committee is made up of all volunteers that live and work in this community. We have a good idea of what people like to do and try to keep each event fresh each year,” Furst said. “We listen to feedback from participants and strive to make each event fun. In the end, we want everyone to feel great about supporting Making Strides and creating a

world with more birthdays.” Since its inception, the series has raised about $1.5 million for breast cancer research, awareness, programs and services. Some of the local programs and services in this area include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a one-onone support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; Road to Recovery, which gives patients transportation to and from cancer treatments. There is also the Hope Lodge, which provides lodging during treatment; Patient Navigator Program, which helps with the health care system; Cancer Survivors Network and a 24-hour-a-day cancer information center. “The proceeds from the Pink Ribbon Classic events feed into the American Cancer Society’s main event, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K on

Sunday, Oct. 18 held on the Boardwalk at the inlet,” Castiglione said. “The funds are restricted to breast cancer to enable the American Cancer Society to continue to invest in groundbreaking research, provide free comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer; and help educate people to reduce their risk of breast cancer in the early detection stage when it’s most treatable.” This year, 4,730 women in Maryland will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Across the country that number rises to 231,840, and an estimated 40,290 will die from the disease, according to the ACS. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women except for skin cancer, and is the second-leading cause of cancerous death in women.

Sunfest Sidewalk Sale at White Marlin Mall

(Sept. 25, 2015) White Marlin Mall in West Ocean City will hold its annual Super Sunfest Sidewalk Sale this weekend. This time of year, White Marlin Mall merchants make room for their fall and winter inventory by moving much of their discounted summer merchandise out to the sidewalk.

Every Kid in a Park prog. launched Fourth graders and families get free access to federally managed lands and waters (Sept. 25, 2015) The National Park Service and Assateague Island National Seashore is proud to help launch the Every Kid in a Park program, as part of President Obama’s commitment to protect the nation’s unique outdoor spaces and ensure that every American has the opportunity to visit and enjoy them. Fourth graders nationwide can visit the new Every Kid in a Park website to obtain a pass that provides free access to students and their families to all federally managed lands and waters – including national parks, forests and wildlife refuges. The pass is valid for the 2015-2016 school year and grants free entry for fourth graders and three accompanying adults (or an entire car for drive-in parks) at more than 2,000 federally-managed sites. “There’s a lot to discover here, and we’re excited to welcome fourth graders and their families to Assateague Island throughout the school year,” said Assateague Island National Seashore Superintendent Debbie Darden. “We hope that our young visitors have fun in the great

outdoors and develop a lifelong connection to our nation’s land, water and wildlife.” Leading up to the 100th birthday of the National Park Service in 2016, President Obama launched the Every Kid in a Park initiative earlier this year as a call to action to get all children to experience America’s unparalleled outdoors. Today, more than 80 percent of American families live in urban areas, and many lack easy access to safe outdoor spaces. At the same time, youth spend more hours than ever in front of screens instead of outside. Fourth graders can log onto www.everykidinapark.gov and complete an educational activity in order to obtain and print their pass. Students can also trade in their paper pass for an official access card at participating federal sites nationwide. Educators and community leaders can access educational activities, field trip options and the ability to print passes for their classrooms. Parents visiting the new website can find additional links for more information on planning trips to nearby public lands. Every Kid in a Park is a crucial component of a multi-pronged approach to inspire the next generation to discover all that the nation’s public lands and waters have to

offer, including opportunities to be active, spend time with friends and family, and serve as living classrooms to build critical skills. The Every Kid in a Park program is an Administration-wide effort administered in partnership with the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Education, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Every Kid in a Park paper pass may be exchanged for an official card at the Assateague Island Visitor Center and the campground office in the Maryland District. Paper passes may be exchanged at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge entrance station and Toms Cove Visitor Center in the Virginia District. For more information, visit www.everykidinapark.gov, and follow the program on Twitter @everykidinapark, on Facebook, on Instagram and Youtube. For additional information on Assateague Island National Seashore, visit www.nps.gov/asis and participate in the conversation at www.facebook.com/AssateagueNPS, www.twitter.com/AssateagueNPS, www.youtube.com/user/AssateagueNPS and www.instagram.com/assateaguenps.

Taylor House Museum will open its doors free of charge on Saturday, Sept. 26, as part of Smithsonian Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th annual Museum Day Live! On this day only, participating museums across the United States emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institutionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Washington, D.C.-based facilities, which offer free admission everyday and open their doors for free to those who download a Museum Day Live! ticket. Inclusive by design, the event represents Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to make learning and the spread of knowledge accessible to everyone.

Commentary

Mid-bay bridge always entertaining discussion

The quest for a mid-bay crossing over the Chesapeake has been around almost as long as Sen. Jim Mathias, who is the latest in a line of state officials who have mentioned that possibility as something worth considering. But just because the topic was first brought up in 1955 by then State Comptroller Louis L. Goldstein, a long-time advocate of the idea, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exhumed from time to time to keep things interesting. This subject, after all, does offer a certain amount of entertainment value: people get riled up as they contemplate and argue about the good and bad impacts of something that will probably never happen. From an engineering standpoint, bridging the Chesapeake at one of its wider sections can be done, as is evidenced by the Chesapeake Bridge-Tunnel’s 20-mile long network of trestles, tubes and manmade islands in Virginia. Financially, however, it’s a different matter. When construction on the bridge-tunnel began in 1960, it was financed by a $200 million bond sale. In today’s dollars, adjusting for inflation, that’s close to $1.6 billion. Even then, the bridge-tunnel had serious financial issues for years. Meanwhile, the idea of a span across the mid-Chesapeake was rejected in 1983 by Gov. Harry Hughes and then resurfaced a couple of years later with equal success. Even though a mid-bay crossing would be about half the length of the bridge-tunnel, meaning it might cost only a half-billion or so, the State of Maryland continues to struggle to pay for comparatively minor transportation system projects, such as finishing the conversion of Route 113 to a dual highway. This isn’t to criticize floating the suggestion of another bridge, as one could certainly be used, but it remains something interesting to talk about, without taking it too seriously.

Letters to the editor Reinstitute resort recycling program

The following was sent to Gov. Larry Hogan and Sen. James Mathias Editor, A recent article in OC Today has outlined the Town of Ocean City’s plan to pursue an exemption to the state’s new recycling mandate during the coming legislative session. Gov. Hogan, as a resident of Ocean City, I ask that should such an exemption reach your desk that you do not sign it. And Sen. Mathias, as your constituent, I ask that you neither assist in drafting nor support such an exemption. Furthermore, when the bill goes into effect on Oct. 1, I ask that you follow up with the town and Worcester County to ensure that is being enforced. The place in Maryland that produces the most trash per capita should by no means be the one place that is exempt from a recycling law. The abandonment of Ocean City’s recycling program in 2009 is a town embarrassment and a heavy burden on the citizens and small business owners of Ocean City, many who continue to independently recy-

cle without municipal support. The town frames its trashto-energy program as a form of recycling and paints the issue publicly as an either/or situation between landfills and incineration. This is plain and simple dishonesty. The definition of “recycle” is “to convert (waste) into reusable material.” Burning it does allow the material to be perpetually reused. It is a one-shot waste of natural resources. However, while burning trash is not the cleanest form of energy, it does have the side benefit of reducing methane emissions from landfills. So what I would propose is that Ocean City continue to burn trash for energy after it has done its due diligence in actively collecting and recycling appropriate materials. We have no less than a moral obligation to do this. The amount of recyclables that move through the Town of Ocean City on a typical summer day is staggering. The town likes to position itself as a “family resort” but the reality is this town is also a big party destination overflowing with cans, bottles, and plastic cups and bags – all of which are amongst the easiest candidates for recy-

cling. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most of the outdoor venues choose to serve plastic cups rather than reusable glassware, so much so that one server [one] iconic nightclub is (or was an one point) the second biggest consumer of Solo cups after Disney! The citizens and visitors to this town are upset and disgusted over the town’s approach to recycling and I have not met one person outside of local politicians who are happy that we have no recycling program. I am asked by every one of my summer guests and routinely questioned by strangers on the beach and customers to my family’s business “where can I recycle?” When I tell them the answer I am greeted by looks of shock and disdain on every single occasion. A few have even vowed to never return here. The town likes to frame the prospect of recycling as “a burden” but the true burden is what the citizens and business owners of this town are dealing with on a daily basis. Despite lack of municipal support, there are many here who feel the ethical duty to recycle. I know individuals Continued on Page 102

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 101 who you would not call “an environmentalist” by any stretch of the imagination, yet stockpile plastics in their garages and the backs of their SUVs, waiting for an opportunity to cart them off to a recycling center. My own kitchen is often overflowing with such materials until the point I can make the weekly ritual of driving out to Walmart on Route 50, which is the closest recycling drop off point to the town. Many local businesses have organized independent recycling efforts. At the new Ropewalk on 82nd street, the staff has self-organized such an effort, but once again, these individuals are hauling recyclables out of town in

their own vehicles and on their own time. How is this a benefit to the people? Please Gov. Hogan and Sen. Mathias, the people of the Town of Ocean of City have been led astray by misguided local policies and are in need of your leadership to get back on track. People flock to this town because of its stunning natural resources. We should be leaders in stewardship, but we’re not. I ask that you please do not give this town a recycling exemption and that, in fact, you support any legislation that would increase Ocean City’s mandate to recycle. Arlo Hemphill Ocean City

PUBLIC EYE

Get rich quick

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher

You don’t hear much anymore about Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, but you will soon, as I have plans to take over as its manufacturer and join the ranks of the laughing-out-loud rich. I can already envision the day when I walk into a room, see Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Oprah sitting around a coffee table doing origami with $100 bills and suddenly look up and say, “Psst. There the backache pill mogul.” The key is that millions of Americans – the foreign market comes in Phase II – suffer from backache and therefore depend on these tablets to get through the day. That means, in the pharmaceutical world, I can charge whatever I want as long as I can justify it by saying something other than, “Hooray, money!” Anyway, I buy the pills, which go for about $8 a bottle and jack the price up to something more reasonable like, say, $795, more if you’re talking about the “Extra Strength” formula. Incidentally, I have never understood why so many over-the-counter pain relievers come in “Regular” and “Extra Strength.” Wouldn’t you think their companies would produce just the one pill that works best? It’s as if they’re saying of the “Regular Strength” version, “this doesn’t work all that well, but what the heck, if

you enjoy mild, but lingering pain, this is the one for you.” But back to the plan, which is that I will justify my 9,940 percent price increase – which I don’t think is excessive, since I am knocking off 20 cents in the rounding down process – by issuing a statement that says, “I’m not getting anything out of this, really. It’s all going into research for a better backache and kidney pill and to increase awareness of ‘backache disease.’” To facilitate that, I have a new name for backache – Bakidia, or BAK (backache/kidney) syndrome – both of which sound sufficiently important to warrant a national campaign. I also have a new name for my product, which will be introduced in a full run of television commercials during the dinner hour and which will show Bakidia sufferers riding bicycles, laughing and hanging out in bathtubs. “Attention Bakidia sufferers. Embarrassed by walking like a French bellringer in a Victor Hugo novel? Tired of playing a hunch when it comes to back pain? You can straighten up your life with Donal. Check with your doctor to see if Donal is right for you (possible side effects include going broke).” Actually, my original choice of a new name for Doan’s Backache Kidney pills was Doanal, but I quickly realized people might think it was for a different body part altogether. You have to pay attention in this business.
