City sees savings from healthpackagechanges Revised plans lead to cost reductions of $100k in FY12 ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

benefits consultant, the city saved $100,000 in insurance premiums for this past fiscal year. In their presentation to the council, they said the reduced cost is due to measures undertaken in the past several years to offer lower-cost options and incentives to city workers. “Because of all the things the town voted on to reduce costs without effecting employees too much … all those plan changes really made a big difference in the utility of your program,” Moran said. “We had a good experience with negotiating on the fixed costs. You can’t negotiate on the claims, but you can affect the claim usage … you can put in place programs [to encourage less excess costs.]”

(Sept. 28, 2012) In a somewhat obscure — but potentially influential — political windfall this week, the Ocean City government’s insurance contractor revealed Tuesday that the city’s revamped employee health benefit system is doing extremely well in terms of both financial savings and, in its opinion, service to employees. As it stands now, according to Human Resources Director Wayne Evans and consultant Kay Moran of Bolton Partners, the city’s employee insurance

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) Area residents started coming together in a relief effort less than 24 hours after a fire destroyed several units of a bayside condominium Wednesday. Three to six families were reportedly displaced by the fire at Bradley on the Bay, a condominium complex at 37th Street, that started at about 5:30 p.m. All lived in units on the top floor of the threestory building and some were at home at the time of the fire, said Ryan

Whittington, spokesman for the Ocean City Fire Department. The Red Cross provided hotel accommodations for some of the victims; others stayed with relatives or friends. Firefighters from several fire companies battled the blaze and members of the Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Office were at the site Thursday to conduct an investigation into the cause of the fire. Monica Hanshaw of Ocean Pines said she believes five of her co-workers at Fager’s Island were See MONETARY on Page 18

(Sept. 28, 2012) As anticipated, City Councilman Joe Hall has filed for re-election, kicking off his own campaign and also providing fuel to a political contest in which he has been a target of criticism by his opponents. “Many people have said it, and I forget how the quote goes exactly, but if people aren’t criticizing you, you haven’t done anything important,” Hall said this week. Hall’s rise to fame, or infamy, began in 2010 when a new council majority was formed.

long afterwards and led to the forced retirement of former City Manager Dennis Dare. Hall has been roundly criticized by his political opponents as being inarticulate and prone to gaffes. Proponents of collective bargaining for the city’s general employees have used an allegedly insensitive remark of Hall’s regarding city employees — “when we’re done with you, we’re done with you” — as a rallying cry as justification for unionization. But Hall contends that his remarks were taken out of context, and weren’t intended as a slight to the employees themselves, but to the fiscal necessity of

reducing the city’s long-term liability for defined benefits after employees retire. “I’m putting myself on the offense, trying to project who I am … not playing into other people’s misrepresentation of who I am,” Hall said of his electoral strategy. “I think I’ll be able to advance the facts that don’t support the rhetoric.” Although the union issue will be a referendum for voters, and is out of the city’s hands at this point, the roots of alleged employee dissatisfaction have become the major topic of the election, with Hall at the center of the blame. He has taken a staunch stance against further collective bargaining, and criticized his opponents’ silence on the issue.

“I think it’s gotten its attention, now it’s up or the voters to decide,” Hall said. “In my opinion, everyone definitely stated where they stood, whether they say they did or not.” This year’s election will see an even split of available seats from both the current council majority and the former voting bloc that has been highly critical of the new direction being taken. Jim and Joe Hall, as well as Councilman Doug Cymek and Councilwoman Mary Knight from the other side of the aisle, are up for re-election. Non-incumbent contenders are Dare, former council president Joe Mitrecic, John ‘Frank’ Adkins, Sean Rox and Bob Baker.

Enforcement of electronic registration of mopeds, scooters delayed (Sept. 28, 2012) Ocean City police are delaying enforcement of the new state requirement for citizens to register scooters and mopeds electronically by Oct. 1. They are not delaying enforcement of the new insurance, helmet and eye protection laws that go into effect that day. The new state laws pertain to all Ocean City scooter rental and retail sale operators as well as private citizens who own and operate these types of vehicles. Effective Monday, Oct. 1, mopeds and motor scooters that are owned by Maryland residents are required to display a registration decal issued by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.

Non-residents who own a motor scooter or moped in another state, but who operate it in Maryland, are exempt from the new registration requirements. They are not exempt, however, from Maryland laws regarding insurance, helmet and eye protection. State law requires the operator to have proof of insurance in their possession. State law also requires the person riding or operating a moped or motor scooter to wear protective headgear that meets specific federal standards. If the vehicle does not have a windscreen, eye protection must also be worn. All mopeds and motor scooters must be titled electronically and be issued a

permanent decal to place on the rear of the vehicle. Maryland residents can go to www.mva.maryland.gov to register their scooters. This Web-based registration has been operational as of this week. The cost of the decal is $5. For the first year, until Oct. 1, 2013, motor scooters and mopeds that are not new will be exempt from the titling fee and excise tax. Maryland business owners who sell or rent mopeds or motor scooters will have different registration rules and costs than private owners. Business owners should contact the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration directly. For information, call 410-723-6665.

Boardwalk skateboarding still on track for approval next week skateboarding be allowed on the Boardwalk during the times when bicycles are already permitted as a way to extend the olive branch to local skaters in anticipation of a more detailed review of the city’s skateboard policy later in the year. “I think this is something we could do immediately to send a good message that we’re trying to work with the citizens,” Cymek said last week.

Ocean City’s underground car show makes landfall this wknd. ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) This weekend, for the 13th consecutive year, Ocean City will continue its ad hoc and officially unacknowledged relationship with what may well be the most influential automotive event to hit the resort all year, at least in terms of the sway the gathering holds over the national and international community for the segment it represents. But flying under the radar is characteristic not only of the event itself, but the market it caters to. And that’s exactly what its organizers are going for. “I hope the local entrepreneurs see it that way and can appreciate it,” said H2O International promoter Jay Shoup. “We’ve never asked for anything from the city or anyone else, and we don’t intend to, but we’ve promoted Ocean City for years.” “[The people we bring in] have to eat, drink, stay somewhere, buy gas. Their money is as green as everyone else’s.” A graphic designer who lives in Ocean Pines, Shoup has been holding the car show – billed on its Web site as “the ‘laidback’ 2-day water-cooled VW/Audi event” – for 15 years. The first two events took place in Connecticut, where Shoup knew a core group of VW club members. When the show grew, he moved it closer to home. The next 11 events were held at Ocean Downs, and last year’s rally was on

land owned by Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. This year’s event will be at the Fort Whaley Campground. Despite having no official connection to the resort, the rally has expanded into Ocean City’s hotels and roads by default. “The majority of people are going to stay in OC,” Shoup said. “It’s actually turned into more of a VW and Audi week as opposed to a weekend … we have ‘early bird’ get-togethers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as well.” H2O International takes the automotive niche market to its logical extreme. The rally is exclusive to the family of small, water-cooled engines developed by Volkswagen and Audi beginning in the early 1970s and continuing up through today. It is a trait that most passing motorists are likely unaware of amongst the swarms of passing Jettas and Passats. What’s more, enthusiasts generally regard water-cooled VWs as the late-coming runts of the litter. The classic VW Boxer engine — air-cooled and sporting the distinctive opposed-cylinder design first developed by Ferdinand Porsche in the 1930s — are the ones collectors drool over. The water-cooled, inline-cylinder motors hit the USA in 1974 to combat similar, high-efficiency designs being pushed by the Japanese, and the stink of modern utility has limited their collectability.

City’sgolf pass issues resolved for now; could come up again ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) The city’s golf pass saga appears to be at an end, although it is highly likely that the increasing politicization of the city-owned Eagle’s Landing course will make it a topic of debate again in the near future. Two week ago, Councilman Brent Ashley traded barbs with Mayor Rick Meehan over accountability measures for the city’s complimentary play system at Eagle’s Landing, the municipal course in West Ocean City. While the purpose of the passes – to promote the city’s golf tourism base by offering free rounds as giveaways for charities and official events – didn’t seem to be in question, Ashley seemed to be concerned how the city was vetting to whom and for what the cards were being given. “There’s no accountability with these cards,” Ashley said last week. He went on to cite the practice as another example “of the loosey-goosey accounting of taxpayers’ money” and the “country club attitude that has permeated city spending.” But Meehan sought to reassure the council that the system had actually improved under his tenure. The unrestricted Gold Card passes had been cut

off, and new Silver Card passes, which allow play only during off-peak hours and require the payment of a cart fee, have been phased in. Meehan had also consolidated the issuance of passes, which had previously been available through the offices of the mayor, the city manager, and Parks and Recreation, into a single record sheet that was done out of his office. “This past year, I changed the pass program,” Meehan, who was not present at Tuesday’s meeting due to a back injury, said two weeks ago. “I thought they needed to be focused in one office. The reason for that is that I had been to a couple events … and I realized they [promoters] had gone to all three offices and asked for golf passes and no one knew they had already been given.” This week, City Manager David Recor presented a new policy that would codify the changes Meehan had already introduced. Most importantly, it would require all requests to be received in writing and for a formal response to be issued from the mayor’s office stating that the passes had been granted. Councilwoman Margaret Pillas questioned if the mayor’s office was the best location. See NEW on Page 19

Worcester to hold rabies vaccination clinics in October

SEPTEMBER 28, 2012

Speed limits lowered on Carey, St. Martin’s roads NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) Motorists on Carey Road and St. Martin’s Road, which crosses it, should ease up on the gas pedal because the county lowered the speed limit from 50 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour. Because of complaints about speeding vehicles, the Worcester County Public Works Department conducted speed studies on the two roads, each of which is just northwest of Berlin. The first speed study was conducted Aug. 9-16 on St. Martin’s Road. During that time period, 1,155 vehicles used that road at an average speed of 31 miles per hour. Only two vehicles were traveling at 55 miles per hour or faster and 14 or 1.2 percent were traveling at 51

(Sept. 28, 2012) Pet owners, mark your calendars to take advantage of the inexpensive rabies vaccinations clinics offered this fall by the Worcester County Health Department and Animal Control. These will be the last clinics offered this year. Rabies is a dangerous fatal disease and ongoing problem in the county. As of Sept. 13, the county has reported 15 laboratory-confirmed cases of rabies. Thirteen of the cases were raccoons, one was a fox and one was a groundhog. The county also reported 14 suspected cases of rabies (raccoons and foxes), which means the animal or contact was indicative of rabies, but the animal was not tested. People and animals can be infected by the virus if they are exposed to the saliva of an infected animal. Low-cost rabies clinics are offered to help residents protect their dogs, cats and ferrets. There will be three clinics in October. Each is from 5:30-7 p.m. ■ Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Stockton Fire Hall, routes 12 and 366 ■ Thursday, Oct. 4, Showell Fire Hall, Route 575 (Old Route 113) ■ Wednesday, Oct. 24, Worcester County Animal Control on Timmons Road in Snow Hill The cost for a rabies vaccination is

to 55 miles per hour. Forty vehicles, or 3.5 percent, were timed at 46 to 50 miles per hour. The vast majority of vehicles, 866 or 75 percent, were traveling from 26 to 45 miles per hour and 233 vehicles or 20.2 percent were traveling below the speed of 26 miles per hour. Based on the eight-day study, 95.2 percent of the vehicles traveled at speeds below 46 miles per hour. The average speed was 31 miles per hour. The speed study for Carey Road was conducted Aug. 16-23. During that time period, 1,688 vehicles used that road at an average speed of 46 miles per hour. Of that number, 192 vehicles or 11.3 percent were traveling more than 55 miles per hour and 288 or 17.1 percent were traveling from 51 to 55 miles per hour. Four hundred seventy-four vehicles or

Berlin to annex land on Old Ocean City Boulevard NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) The town of Berlin will grow, albeit just slightly, after it annexes property on Route 346. That property, approximately 12.39 acres of land, is located at 10408 Old Ocean City Blvd., adjacent and to the west of the Barrett-Chrysler-Jeep showroom. The land is under the county’s jurisdiction and zoned as an agricultural district, but it will be placed within the town’s

business zoning district. State law says the annexed land cannot allow uses substantially different than those in the zoning category of the county and, in the case of residential development, the residential density must be consistent with that of the county. That issue does not apply, however, because the property is not currently zoned for residential purposes and the town is not proposing residential uses there. The county’s comprehensive plan shows the property as being in a growth area. It is

Fifty-two vehicles or 3.1 percent were traveling below 26 miles per hour. Based on the study on Carey Road, 71.7 percent of traffic traveled less than 51 miles per hour and 28.4 percent of all traffic traveled at a speed greater than 51 miles per hour. Neither road was posted, so a speed limit of 50 miles per hour governed, Public Works Director John Tustin told the Worcester County Commissioners during their Sept. 18 meeting in Snow Hill. He recommended that each road be posted with speed limits of 30 miles per hour and the commissioners voted to approve his request.

Rabies vaccinations available for county dogs, cats and ferrets Continued from Page 8

$5 per pet for Worcester County residents and $10 per pet for non-residents. Proof of residency is required. Vaccinations are available for dogs, cats and ferrets. If this is not the pet’s first rabies vaccination, written proof of the previous shot in the form of a rabies certificate must be provided in order to receive a three-year booster shot. Otherwise, a one-year shot will be given. To receive a vaccination, dogs must be on a leash. Cats and ferrets must be in a carrier or box with air holes. Keeping pets’ required rabies vaccinations current is the best way to prevent the

spread of rabies. For more information on the clinics or to report animal bites or possible rabies exposures to pets from wild animals contact the Worcester County Health Department at 410-352-3234 or 410-641-9559. If an incident occurs after normal business hours, contact your local law enforcement or the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. The clinics are held soon after World Rabies Day, Sept. 28. So far in 2012, there have been 225 laboratory confirmed cases reported statewide. These animals, mostly wildlife, can expose humans or pets to rabies. Raccoons are the most common animals found to be rabid, but others

frequently identified are foxes, skunks, bats and cats. The health department recommends the following tips to protect pets and family members from rabies exposure. n Keep current vaccinations dogs, cats, horses and ferrets, and keep those vaccinations current. If the expiration date of the vaccination is unknown, call the vet to check. n Do not let pets roam free. They are more likely to have contact with a rabid animal if they roam free. n Avoid feeding animals outside because this draws stray and wild animals. If pets must feed outdoors, do not leave food

out overnight and clean up any spillage. n Securely cover garbage cans. n Avoid sick animals and those acting in an unusual manner, and teach children not to approach wild animals or animals they don’t know. n If a pet has contact with wild animal, avoid touching the pet with bare hands by wearing gloves or wrapping hands in plastic bags. Do not touch the animal directly. Report the incident immediately to the health department or your local law enforcement regarding the testing of the wild animal. Consult a veterinarian.

Mixed feelings about boards on Bdwk. Continued from Page 5

city’s antiquated definition of “boogie boards” to allow a number of new varieties of soft-top body boards to be used on the city’s beaches. The same, it was said, could be done with skateboards, since skateboard technology and technique has changed greatly since the city’s code was written in the 1970s. Although skateboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, they can be roughly divided into short or “street” boards, and longboards. Short boards are the more typical skateboard, with a louvered deck and angled ends designed to enable aerial tricks and stunts. Longboards are thin, flat, and have a longer wheelbase, de-

signed for better maneuverability and retention of momentum when cruising down streets and sidewalks. The consensus seemed to be that longboards should be given more leniency for street use, since they pose less of a threat for destruction of property and general nuisance by boarders attempting tricks on curbs and railings. Councilman Brent Ashley has been the only opponent of the change, citing concerns about damage that scofflaw skateboarders already do to public structures downtown. If the law were to be relaxed, he suggested that the city put some of its budget surplus into a fund to repair damage caused by skaters.

“Why start out with a negative?” Councilwoman Mary Knight retorted. “Let’s have time to evaluate this, but don’t start out saying that they’re going to cause more damage.” “It’s not a negative, it’s a reality check,” Councilwoman Margaret Pillas said. “The taxpayers are going to have to pay for it somehow … we have expenses with everything we do. There’s no problem with looking at it and asking if we have room in our budget.” Councilman Joe Hall said that expenses should be a moot point as long as there’s enough manpower for enforcement. “They’re still responsible for paying for the damage if they’re caught,” he said.

Annual Sunfest celebration draws 185k guests over four days LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Four days of ideal weather was a major factor in bringing large crowds to the inlet parking lot for the 38th annual Sunfest celebration last weekend. Sunfest, the annual fall food and music festival and crafts extravaganza that marks the end of summer, opened last Thursday and saw nothing but sunshine through to Sunday afternoon. “This year’s Sunfest was terrific from start to finish,” said Donna Abbott, Ocean City’s tourism and marketing director. “The weather was absolutely spectacular and all of the entertainment was well received. It was also great having our ‘Song of Summer’ contest winner Chuck Conjar on hand to perform his winning song, ‘Ocean City Days,’ at the opening ceremony.” Sunfest experienced its biggest attendance since 2008, when it drew an estimated 194,385 visitors. This year’s attendance was 185,016, an increase of more than 30,000 guests from 2011, when rain dampened part of the festival. “It was a really good turnout,” said Tom Shuster, director of the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department. “The weather was consistently pleasant, sunny and mild. We had four wonderfully fabulous days of weather.” This year’s event drew more than 180 arts and crafts vendors. Artists’ work is juried in order to offer the best quality. Twelve artists again demonstrated their skills in the

with custom orders for 23 new boats. The show was a huge success ... I must say that it was the most organized show I have participated in.” The entertainment and headline musical acts were well received, Shuster said. The Sha Na Na concert last Thursday was close to a sellout with 1,698 people taking in the music. There were 1,611 tickets purchased for Lonestar’s performance last Friday. It was a packed house of 1,769 spectators watching rocker Bret Michaels on stage last Saturday. In 2010 and 2011, Sunfest was rated the best Traditional and Contemporary Arts and Crafts Show in the country by Sunshine Artist, “America’s Premiere Show and Festival Magazine.” The rankings are based on audit reports, reader surveys and anecdotal reports from participating exhibitors. For 2012, Sunfest has been rated No. 2. The drop could be the result of rain that fell on the 37th annual celebration last year. Overall attendance for the four-day 2011 festival was 154,507, a 7 percent decrease from the 2010 event. “Everyone was pleased with the way things went [in 2012],” Shuster said. “I think we have a good chance to regain our No. 1 status.” From 1999, the first year organizers began logging the four-day attendance, to 2012, Sunfest attendance trends were: 179,248, 180,229, 173,469, 183,767, N/A (no attendance taken due to Hurricane Isabel), 180,922, 171,975, 175,195, 183,377, 194,385 and 183,810, 166,386, 154,507 and 185,016.

MGH remains city’sadvertising company for another year ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) The city will be sticking with MGH Advertising for at least another year, as the City Council eased up Tuesday on its desire to put the city’s $4 million marketing contract back out to bid before the end of 2012. The reversal came at the request of the city’s Tourism Advisory Board, a committee of business stakeholders whose recommendations, while non-binding, carry significant weight within City Hall. “We’re not opposed to going to RFP [Request for Proposals] with it,” said TAB chair Greg Shockley. “We would ask that you reconsider and keep Andy’s [MGH President Andy Malis] contract for another year, but start the RFP process now and have a whole year to do it.” MGH has been the city’s marketing firm for the past 10 years, coordinating the resort’s public presence outside the island with everything from TV ads in Baltimore to billboards on the Jersey Turnpike. The company’s contract was renewed in 2010 for another two years and would automatically extend for another year at the end of 2012, unless the city gives MGH 120 days’ notice that it is considering opting out and is seeking alternative proposals from other agencies. In August, the council voted 4-3, with council members Joe Hall, Brent Ashley, Jim Hall, and Margaret Pillas in favor and Doug Cymek, Mary Knight, and Lloyd

Martin opposed, to give MGH notice. The agency’s status has always been somewhat of a hot potato, since MGH’s success – and ergo the success of the city government in its role as the resort’s primary destination marketer – carries with it considerable political import. Of particular concern is that MGH says it has certain sunk production costs that will still need to be utilized even if it is no longer in charge, less the city throw away money. Specifically, the agency has invested in designing and producing the city’s ad campaign featuring Rodney the Lifeguard, who acts as if he is rescuing people from the ocean when he is actually rescuing them from their mundane office or home tasks and bringing them to the resort. Malis has said that Rodney still has another year of commercial viability. But the rights to the character are owned by the city, meaning that another agency could assume operation of the Rodney campaign if Malis were to exit. “If we’re truly looking for a new advertising agency, we should not handcuff them with Rodney,” Shockley said Tuesday. “From what we see and what Andy has told us, we have a year of Rodney ‘left in the can,’ so to speak.” “We would be re-doing all the production [if the campaign was changed]. It’s tough to hire a new agency. You have questions about what we’re using [currently] and then you have to tie the new work to the same product.”

Timing was also a concern, with Shockley noting that the mid-contract period of 120 days was really not enough to do the selection process justice. “My fear, and TAB’s fear, is that we get jammed up on the 31st and we can’t make the best decision under pressure,” he said. But the majority’s previous opinion – that taking a contractor at his word and not shopping around was simply bad business – was reiterated. “I think it’s the right process [to go to bid immediately],” said Councilman Joe Hall. “In the last process, every single agency that came down said ‘there is a transition period, but we do have time and we’re not going to throw everything out the door and leave you hanging.’ “And in that process, Andy earned the trust of the council to go again [with a new contract]. He came in more lively and invigorated than he had been before. He stated himself that he does this all the time. He not only has clients that look elsewhere but he also bids on other places and contracts that other people are getting.” “If you haven’t shopped around for insurance in the last five years, you’re foolish,” agreed Council President Jim Hall. “I think it’s just prudent to go outside and look after 10 years with the same guy. It sharpens the pencil on price, too.” The reversal, then, seemed to come only after City Manager David Recor expressed his concern that any new marketing strategy would be an integral part of the city’s strategic plan, an initiative that

Recor is developing, but which will not be functional until the spring. “I think [TAB’s] recommendation is a solid one,” Recor said. “All of this will tie directly to the five-year strategic plan. This discussion is definitely related.” “The result of this is going to be very integral to the plan,” concurred Councilwoman Mary Knight. “How we want to advertise in the future, who we want to advertise to … if nobody’s going to have this info, we’re putting the cart before the horse.” “I don’t have a problem with putting this out to bid, it’s just the timing. We’re going to have very little time to assess these people [who bid],” said Councilman Doug Cymek. “I’d really like to consider, in the future, 180 days’ notice, if not more.” Jim Hall seemed to think this was a good middle ground, and proposed, if a decision on MGH was to be delayed, that future contracts be revised to require the city to give itself more lead-time by making a decision at 180 days out, instead of 120. The council supported the measure 52, with Joe Hall and Ashley still opposed. “I don’t buy the tie-in,” Joe Hall said. “The fact is that we’re going to be advertising next year no matter what is in place with the strategic plan … each time there’s a challenge coming up, we have to postpone because we can’t handle it. If it’s not the right time, there’s just going to be a conversation next September that that’s not the right time either.”

Firefighters from Ocean City, Berlin, Showell, Ocean Pines and Bethany Beach, Del., battle the blaze at Bradley on the Bay condominium building for approximately four and a half hours Wednesday evening. Nine units received heavy fire damage and other units sustained heavy water damage. Both adjacent buildings received exterior heat damage. One firefighter received minor burns and was treated at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.

displaced by the fire and she quickly decided to help by raising funds and gathering needed items. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” she said Thursday. “Hopefully, we can get this started.” Hanshaw created a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Bradley OnTheBayCondoFireReliefFund, to publicize the need for donations, financial and otherwise, and to keep people updated on the situation. When she learns what sizes of clothing and other items are needed, she will put that information on the Facebook page, she said. She learned she needed a tax identification number and someone was assisting her with that so she could set up a PayPal page for financial contributions. She also planned to set up a bank account at the Bank of Ocean City so people could donate there. Fager’s Island became a drop-off site for donations and so did two places in Delaware, Weller’s Utility Trailers in Bridgeville and Weller’s Clearance Center in Ellendale. “They wanted to help,” Hanshaw said. “That’s what it’s all about, helping each other.”

One of the first to help was reportedly Danny Martin, resident of the nearby Thunder Island condominium, who noticed that the fire alarm at Bradley on the Bay appeared not to be sounding although he saw smoke. Martin went across the parking lot and manually pulled the alarm, and then began going door-to-door to make sure residents had left. His mother ran behind him with leashes in order to evacuate pets. Built in 1984, Bradley on the Bay contains nine buildings with 135 one- and two-bedroom units. It was named for Bradley Caine, daughter of its developer, Jim Caine. Several sources, who did not wish to be named in print, alleged that Bradley on the Bay was constructed using the “stack shack” method of pre-fabricated homes, in which each floor is brought in on a flatbed truck and hoisted onto the story below it. Such manufactured homes did not feature the firewall protection that on-site builds have, a possible explanation as to why the fire seemed to spread so quickly through the entire top floor. Whittington said other variables, such as wind, are also responsible for the speed at which a fire spreads.

“I’d be more comfortable of it coming out of the city manager’s office,” she said. “The city manager is responsible for the budget … he has to be accountable for the money spent or not spent.” “I’d like to see it in the City Manager’s office. It should not be a political issue,” Councilman Brent Ashley agreed. Council President Jim Hall, however, said that the mayor’s role as the city’s public face made that office the default for contact by charities and other public officials who would want to play golf. “I spoke with Fish Powell [former Ocean City Mayor Roland E. “Fish” Powell] this morning,” Hall said, “and he said it was actually a unanimous approval of council way back when to send the passes over to the mayor’s office … because the initial contact usually comes through the mayor’s office, the thought being that he’s the ceremonial head, I think that’s what David and Rick were thinking.” The number of passes issued but still unused had also been a point of contention. “I would just say that those passes that were given out were given in good faith … if council members have them in their possession and want to turn them back in, that’s their prerogative,” Councilman Doug Cymek said. Pillas was also concerned about the fact that golf course employees are offered free play. Although Parks and Recreation head Tom Shuster and Eagle’s Landing Golf Pro Bob Croll said this is a common perk to attract good employees and keep them knowledgeable of the course, Pillas worried that the perk would be seen as unfair. “It does give a special perk to some and not others … the Public Works employees build parking lots, but they don’t get free parking,” she said. “I’m not trying to be combative, I’m trying to be fair to all the employees,” she said, sensing some frustration. Pillas also tied the golf pass issue to the larger, ongoing debate about the roots of employee desire for unionization. “This is why the general employees are going out here for a union … every department has something that they do for whatever reason, and some get it and some don’t,” she said. “Let’s just accept the policy [as is] because that’s what it’s been, but at budget time, to be fair to all employees, look into offering a reduced rate [on golf for everyone],” Hall suggested. Councilman Joe Hall also asked Recor to ensure that the criteria for giving passes were not subjective. “There should be some qualifying reasons if we’re picking and choosing,” Joe Hall said. “If they meet all that criteria, do they always get them? Nobody is denied if they meet the criteria?” The new golf policy, with the suggested caveats, was approved unanimously.

Why we don’t publish letters of endorsement With the Ocean City municipal election a little more than a month away, supporters of both sides in this clearly divided City Council race might feel the urge to write letters to the editor endorsing their favorite candidates. While citizen involvement in local government and politics is good, this newspaper’s policy – adopted reluctantly some years back – is not to accept letters of endorsement for publication. The paper’s intention is not to stifle public comment on political affairs, nor is it the result of a desire to avoid controversy, the appearance of favoritism or to prevent one side from getting more ink than the other. It is purely a practical matter that has nothing to do with Ocean City. For the record, this was a lesson learned the hard way years ago during a particularly contentious board of directors election in Ocean Pines. At that time, the paper’s letters to the editor policy was simple: Letters are printed in the order received, must be signed, contain a phone number to verify authorship if necessary, is coherent and not libelous. As a consequence, the paper accepted the initial letters of endorsement with no problem, but as the campaign heated up, the volume increased until it became obvious that well-orchestrated letter-writing campaigns were at work. So many letters came in that it was impossible to publish them all, thereby causing some authors to ask why their letters did not make the cut, while those of someone with an opposing viewpoint did make it into print. The explanations offered by the editorial staff were not always well received and more than one letter writer implied that some kind of censorship or favoritism was at work. The fact was the paper could not add pages at its own expense to accommodate political camps determined to outwrite each other. The editorial staff declared that was enough and established a new policy. That standard has remained in effect ever since. Its purpose is not to discourage public discussion and we apologize to those who have gone to the trouble of sending us their letters of endorsement and then not seeing them published. It’s not your fault, but having survived that extremely difficult time once, we do not want to open the door to the possibility that it would happen again.

READERS’ FORUM

Thank majority council Editor, It never ceases to amaze me when intelligent people misinterpret the positive actions of others. Currently, some of the employees of Ocean City are upset with the majority on the City Council. One of their grievances is that the majority closed the defined benefit retirement plan for new employees. Did they close the plan for the existing employees? Absolutely not. Did the majority ever consider closing the defined benefit plan for the current worker? Again, absolutely not. Instead of berating the majority, they ought to be thanking them for their prudent actions. Why? By changing the plan and limiting the future retirement liabilities of the plan for new workers, the majority has made sure the existing employees will be assured of receiving their benefits at and during their retirement years. The current employees should be grateful for the majority’s foresight and the courage it took to make the bold but needed change. In addition, the taxpayers and property owners ought to be thankful that the changes were instituted. They, too, will benefit in the future as the taxpayers potential liability, which is currently in the tens of millions of dollars for the defined benefit plans, begins to shrink as a result of the majority’s change. I suggest that the voters of Ocean City do their own prudent research on the town’s current financial situation and not rely on the incorrect observations made by a few outspo-

ken employees. This majority is trying to develop a long-term fiscally sound financial plan for the taxpayers as well as the employees. This majority, which includes Joe Hall, Brent Ashley, Jim Hall and Margaret Pillas, should be thanked by the employees and not criticized for their prudent management skills. David Clogg, ChFC Timonium, Md.

Fly flags Oct. 8 Editor, According to my calendar, flags should be flown on Oct. 8, for Columbus Day. Explorer, navigator, and colonizer, Christopher Columbus, was born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa (Italy) to the son of a weaver. He first went to sea as a teenager and learned about the water currents and trade routes. Columbus believed that he could avoid the treacherous Muslim-dominated trade routes through the Middle East by sailing west, across the Atlantic Ocean, to India and China. He, and many experts of the day, believed that the Earth was much smaller. After the Spanish Army captured the last Muslim stronghold in Granada, the Spanish Monarchs, Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragon, finally agreed to finance his three-ship expedition in August 1492. Columbus left Spain in the Santa Maria with the Nina and the Pinta sailing beside him. After 36 days of sailing, Columbus landed on and claimed the island in the Bahamas for Spain. He also visited Cuba and Hispan-

iola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The Santa Marina was wrecked on a reef off the coast of Hispaniola, but his men and the islanders salvaged what they could and built the settlement Villa de la Navidad (“Christmas Town”), with the lumber from the ship. Christopher Columbus is credited for discovering America (The New World), opening up the Americas to European colonization, and the “Columbian Exchange.” His expeditions set in motion the widespread transfer of people, plants, animals, diseases and cultures that greatly affected nearly every society on the planet. The horse from Europe allowed Native American tribes in the Great Plains of North America to shift from a nomadic to a hunting lifestyle. Foods from the Americas, potatoes, tomatoes and corn became staples of Europeans and helped increase their populations. Wheat from Europe and the Old World fast became a main food source for the people in the Americas. Coffee from Africa and sugar cane from Asia became major cash crops for Latin American countries. Christopher Columbus was a devout, practicing Catholic and was a candidate for sainthood in 1866 for bringing Catholicism and Christianity to the New World. Anna Foultz Ocean Pines

By Stewart Dobson First, our economy tanks, then the Euro drops like a stone, the polar ice cap begins to melt so quickly that undocumented polar bears have joined the day laborer lines in Toronto and, after locking out its referees, the NFL calls in a crew of beanbag umpires to officiate its games. Surely, the world is coming to an end. But wait, you say, that is not the case. We’re kind of, sort of working our way back economically and the NFL did just agree to let the real refs back into the game. And who cares about polar bears in the Canadian workforce as long as they’re polite like everyone else? Ah, but this could be the end, if we are to believe the pork people of the United Kingdom. Just this week, they declared that we could be facing a bacon shortage. Aside from the fact that “pork people” sounds like a 1950s sci-fi move title (“Attack of the Pork People”) and that their alarm may not be entirely accurate, it remains that a world without solid economies, competent sports officials and well-mannered polar bears is survivable, but a world without bacon is a world without love. As the UK pork producers tell the story, this year’s midwestern drought hampered the grain harvest, precipitating premium prices for pig provisions and forcing pecuniary pig farmers to pay more per pig portion. It was either that and passing the increased cost on to us, or trimming the fat from pork production. Either way, this is not a good situation, especially since I have spent the summer stocking up on the staples of existence should we be inconvenienced by hurricanes, shifts in the tectonic plates, an asteroid shellacking or a continuation of a congress composed of pork barrel politicians who would meet the requirement for alleviating runoff by virtue of having pervious heads. I have a six-month supply of tomato sauce, ice cream sandwiches, corn and tortilla chips, which, under most circumstances, would get me through anything. However, I am low on bacon and it could be too late to do anything about it, depending on whom you believe. American pork producers contend that this whole bacon shortage business is a concoction of UK hog harvesters and pork purveyors, who are attempting to convince residents of the British Isles to buy locally and to pay more for it. The hope here, however, is that by writing of this shameless scheme, I and others like me throughout the world will allay the public’s fears about having to endure a bacon-less, and thus soulless, dining disaster. After all, “Knowledge is power.” And yes, Sir Francis Bacon said that.

Shoup: we’ve never asked for anything from city ... but we’ve promoted OC for years Continued from Page 6

But some enthusiasts repair and restore the very oldest models – Shoup said that he was expecting a 1975 VW Rabbit in this year’s show – while others take newer cars and tune them into street-racers. The appeal is ambiguous. “It’s just like the Corvettes. Why does everyone love Corvettes?� Shoup said. “It’s just what you’re interested in. There’s not one particular reason for anyone to be ‘into it’ or not.� And the “sleeper� status only adds to the level of knowledge and attention to detail given by the owners, so much that Shoup says VW itself has caught on and begun to use rallies like H2O as testing grounds for feedback on its latest designs, essentially “crowd-sourcing� its engineering. “VW corporate comes and they set up a huge, 75-foot rig with carriers that have all the concept cars,� Shoup said. “We even have someone shipping over the brand-new Sirocco.� VW’s revival of the original 1974-1988 hatchback coupe has been extremely popular in Europe, but is so far unavailable in North America, although rumors swirl that it will be coming stateside for 2013. “It’s a pretty big deal as far as the industry goes,� Shoup continued. “It’s becoming the norm now where a lot of the dealerships are ‘tuner-friendly,’ so to speak.� As far as Shoup can tell, the H2O International is the third-largest event of its kind, with the biggest being held in VW’s Austrian fatherland. A barbecue and music festival will be held on Saturday,

SUMMER CLEARANCE

with actual judging of cars and awards on Sunday. A thousand show cars are registered, along with 50 to 60 vendors. Shoup expects around 8,000 people, both car owners and spectators. “They essentially come from all over the world,� he said. “We have vendors who will ship in crates from Germany, caravans that will come literally crosscountry. We had one group from Seattle last year. Usually, they’ll run 20 to 30 cars deep and just drive across the country, just for the show. It’s pretty insane.� Popularity does not come without its pitfalls, however. Last year, the driving range across from Most Blessed Sacrament, which Shoup had planned to use for overflow parking, flooded. “The driving range across the street from the school, where we had originally wanted to have all the spectator parking, turned into a mud hole, and these cars are

not built to go through mud,� Shoup said. The resulting traffic snarl forced the Maryland State Police to block the exit ramp from Route 90 to Route 589 in order to flush out a backup that stretched to Ocean City. Shoup says he has similar contingencies in place with local authorities again this year. “I’m always in close contact with the state police and the SHA [State Highway Administration], we’ve met a couple of times so far,� Shoup said. “We meet prior to [the event] and we have an exit meeting after. The county sheriff’s department usually comes out and sits in too.� This year may present less of an issue, however, as Sunfest and the H2O International will not coincide for the first time in three years. “Every year, our event is always on the very last weekend of September. Unfortunately, sometimes the calendar closes up,

After some concerns, council adopts state’srevised building codes But Councilman Doug Cymek, who works in the construction and contracting industry, said it was his impression that there were other changes that the city was unaware of that could have an impact and that he would like to see a more full list of the state’s points. Cymek’s concerns seemed to be backed up by David Barnes, president of Viwinco, a manufacturer of impactresistant glass. “I’ve been following this action because we are extremely involved with building codes,” Barnes said last week. “I would just ask that the council get all their homework done. Some states have had problems with insurance companies.” “It’s not like it [hurricane risk] has gone away … you’re still so close to the wind line on the map, it’s not just debris but it’s also water penetration that

ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) After a flurry of concern last week, The Ocean City Council moved unanimously Tuesday to adopt the State of Maryland’s revised building codes, particularly as they pertain to wind and hurricane impacts. During a meeting some weeks ago, City Engineer Terry McGean had submitted to the council Maryland’s updated codes for structural weather-preparedness. Although the revised requirements included dozens, possibly hundreds of line changes, the major alteration that the city had been advised of was that the new hurricane mapping methods excludes large parts of the island from the “windborne debris region,” where impact-resistant glass glazing is required on all windows.

causes mold and other things,” he continued. This week, McGean made a full presentation along with city Chief Building Inspector Kevin Brown on their impressions of why some contractors seemed to think that the new wind and impact designations were inconsistent and could present liabilities. The story, however, was not easy to digest for the layman, causing McGean to preface most of his comments and answers to the council’s questions with, “Wow, this is really complicated.” “There’s really only a few people you can find who actually understand this, and Terry is one of them,” Brown said. “He’s way smarter than I am.” In brief, McGean explained that the two building codes that the state - and almost every jurisdiction the world over – adopts are the International Building

Code [IBC] and the International Residential Code [IRC]. While the IBC is broader in scope, covering all types of buildings, it is performance-based, meaning that it requires buildings to meet certain thresholds when it comes to physical loads and forces. It does not, however, prescribe specific methodologies on how to achieve this. The construction details are left up to the architect or engineer. The IRC, on the other hand, applies only to one- and two-family homes. But while narrower in scope, it goes the extra step to prescribe specific construction methods that must be used. “The fact that this is a prescriptive code is why you don’t need an engineer or architect to seal the drawings on a single-family home … because our inspectors are looking at the construction method to make sure it meets exactly what is in the code,” McGean said. But the difference between performance and prescriptive codes also means a difference in how the stress and load of wind forces are calculated. Ocean City lies, according to hurricane maps, in a high-wind area. But in order to compensate for the fact that it is less of a debris risk, the wind speed tolerances are lowered in the IRC, putting the resort in a 100 mph zone. By the same token, the IBC – because it is not prescriptive, and must allow for a multitude of materials – uses a different methodology. In that code, the tolerances of the materials themselves are lowered and wind loads are kept at an unadjusted level. This means that Ocean City’s load is rated at 128 mph under the IBC. But because it assumes less material strength, it equals out with the IRC. “If you take the 128 and apply the allowable stress method, it’s the same as the 100 mph requirements,” McGean said. “It took us a while to figure out what they were doing ... but what I’m trying to point out here is that they are exactly the same.” McGean also said that he had spoken with Barnes, who seemed satisfied that the new codes would not actually, in total, create any change or inconsistency. “When I explained to him that we were not changing the design pressure rating, he calmed down,” McGean said.

City may be on thin ice with Affordable Care Act Continued from Page 1

Last spring, the council voted to introduce a high-deductible health plan — as opposed to more expansive PPO plans — that would also come with a city-incentivized Health Savings Account. HSA plans are typically run on calendar years, Moran said, which meant that the city had an 18-month gap before it could renegotiate its rates based on the change. “When I first did the projections [at the beginning of the fiscal year], the claims experience was not very good. That’s why you had a 10 percent increase,” Moran said. “Six months later, when we were doing the actual renewal, the claims were reduced by a large number because you didn’t have as many large claims and the utilization was lower.” Next year’s claims projection now stands at 3.9 percent, significantly lower than the projected industry average of eight percent. The council majority that had pushed through the HSA reform – Jim Hall, Joe Hall, Margaret Pillas, and Brent Ashley – seemed very eager about the progress. “Because our employees found different parts of the program that suited them … we had a savings,” Pillas said. “I think it shows that the risk we took in discussing those changes, needed to put us on the good path, are working … even though change increases anxiety, this shows change can be good some-

times,” Joe Hall said. Moran said that the changes had been made with a minimum of service cuts, even in the lower-deductable plans. “We added the HMO, which is a lower-cost plan [than the PPO] but is actually a richer benefit as long as you’re in network, because there’s no out-of-network compensation,” she said. But Councilwoman Mary Knight said that many of the other cost savings that Moran had listed were not attributable to the changes of last spring. Evans had noted that the co-pay reductions for generic prescriptions, and co-pay increases for brand-names — which began five years ago — had resulted in the town being “at the top end of what plans see with generic drug usage.” “This sheet you gave us with the history [shows] we began this process in 2007… it’s really good that we have our eye on the ball with this,” Knight said. Council moved to accept Moran’s recommendations for future insurance provisions, and also moved to allocate the $100,000 savings to the general fund in order to cover any future shortfalls in employee health benefits, although city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett said she was unsure if the council could create such an earmark that would be binding on future legislators. “We want to make sure these funds are funded back to the employees, can’t I just

say it’s ‘assigned’ for future medical expenses?” Pillas requested. Moran also added that Ocean City seems to have dodged the bullet somewhat on national provisions, part of the federal Affordable Care Act, which would tighten health insurance requirements for seasonal employees. Under the first version of the legislation, employees who work for 120 days or more must be provided insurance, or their employer will pay a penalty. “Even if they were seasonal by your definition, they would not have been seasonal by the government’s definition,” Moran said. But a recent revision at the end of last month stipulated that employees must also be working an average of 30 hours per week over those 120 days. Moran said she had calculated that the city’s largest un-insured seasonal force — the Ocean City Beach Patrol — would come in just under the average, saving the city a potentially huge headache. “Say these things change in the next four or five years and the economy is still in a recession, we need to have a plan for that,” Pillas said. “It’s just important for the town to keep very good records,” Moran cautioned. “This will be an area where the legislature will look if they [employees] work 30.5 hours [the city could face the penalty].”

her Sept. 20 memo that “it is my belief that a reduction in speed through this corridor would reduce the potential severity of risk and injuries to pedestrians.” According to national data, 85 percent of pedestrians struck by a vehicle going 40 mph will die, versus only a 5 percent fatality rate for those struck at 20 mph, DiPino noted. “Therefore, your endorsement is requested of the attached letter to the State Highway Administration,” DiPino wrote. In her draft letter to SHA District Engineer Donnie Drewer, DiPino notes that the speed change would match the 35 mph speed limit that the SHA granted in 2000 for the stretch of Coastal Highway between 17th and 33rd Streets. “A reduction of the speed limit on MD 528 between 33rd and 62nd Street, similar to the reduction of the speed limit in October 2000 along MD 528 between 17th

Street and 33rd Street, may decrease the number of pedestrian crashes as well as lessen the severity of such pedestrian related crashes in the overpopulated midtown area,” she wrote. Although the SHA will not officially receive the request until approved by council, SHA Assistant District Engineer Ken Cimino said Thursday that the SHA was aware of the request and has been working with the city. “We believe that the reduction in the speed limit, similar to the reduction of speed that took place below 33rd Street, may reduce the number of pedestrians being struck,” Ciminio said. “It may give drivers that extra split second to see someone jumping out in front of them. Concern over pedestrian crashes arose early in the season, after Matthew Jude Cheswick, 22, a Towson University student from Cooksville, was killed May 28

New laws for motorists go into effect Monday NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) Beginning Monday, Oct. 1, two new traffic safety laws go into effect. One law requires a driver approaching a nonfunctioning traffic signal at an intersection to stop at a clearly marked stop line before entering any crosswalk

or intersection. After stopping, the driver must yield to any vehicle or pedestrian in the intersection. The new law also requires a driver to remain stopped until it is safe to both enter and continue through the intersection. Violations of this new law carry a fine of $90 and two points if the offense does not contribute to an accident. If the violation contributes to an accident,

the fine is $130 and three points. The Ocean City Police Department and AAA Mid-Atlantic want to remind motorists that if a traffic light is out, they must stop and yield before proceeding with caution. “Given the recent severity of storms we have seen in our state, including hurricanes, thunderstorms, wind and See AAA on Page 30

while standing in the bus lane at 54th Street. He was struck by a drunk driver, Diogo Miller Facchini, who fled the scene but was later apprehended. A week later, on June 4, Samantha Sweitzer, 15, an Allegany High School student from LaVale, was killed while attempting to cross Philadelphia Avenue at 21st Street. She reportedly was not in the crosswalk and going against traffic. But speed in and of itself is only a small part of the potential solution. “Speed was not a factor in the majority of accidents that took place in Ocean City this summer,” Cimino said. “But you can certainly always say that a reduction in speed may increase drivers’ reaction time to an object in the roadway.” SHA study data for the stretch of Coastal Highway between 17th and 56th Streets shows 76 bicycle or pedestrian crashes from January 2007 to August 2012. The 2012 calendar year accounts for 11 of these. Five of the 76 incidents resulted in a death. 42 were intersection related, and 39 were at night. While none of the 29 bicycle crashes involved alcohol, it was a factor in 25 of the 47 pedestrian collisions. In all 25 cases, the pedestrian was intoxicated. In five instances, the driver was intoxicated as well. Cimino said that a more comprehensive study has been done by the Wallace and Montgomery engineering firm. Currently in draft form, the study will be discussed with local officials next month.

Only the safe remains Tuesday at the former site of the 59th Street Bank of Ocean City. A new bank will be constructed on the site and is expected to open by spring.

ice storms and an occasional tornado, it is becoming more and more common to see intersections with nonfunctioning traffic signals and unfortunately we have seen this end in tragedy,” said Ragina C. Averella, manager of Public and Government Affairs at AAA MidAtlantic. “It is especially important that motorists understand and obey the law in these situations.” AAA Mid-Atlantic and the Ocean City Police Department also want motorists to remember and to follow existing laws. If two vehicles approach an intersection without a traffic control device or with a non-functioning traffic control signal from different roadways at the same time, there is an existing motor vehicle law that applies. In this situation, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right. There are also times when a traffic control signal that normally operates green, yellow, and red lights might be in “flashing” mode. This usually means red lights might be flashing in one direction and yellow lights are flashing in another direction. Flashing red and yellow lights on a traffic control signal do not mean the light is non-functioning. In this situation, the drivers ap-

proaching the red flashing light must stop and can only proceed when the intersection is clear. Drivers approaching the yellow flashing light should slow and use caution, but are permitted to proceed through the intersection without stopping. Drivers are also reminded that if a police officer is directing traffic in the intersection, they should obey the directions of that officer, regardless of the signal indicated on the traffic control device. The second traffic safety law taking effect Oct. 1 is the requirement that all children under the age of 8 is to be placed in a child safety seat regardless of weight unless the child is 4 feet 9 inches tall or taller. The current law says a child less than 8 years of age is exempt from riding in a child safety seat if the child weights more than 65 pounds. The new legislation removes the 65-pound exemption for booster seat use. The change was made because most child passenger safety experts and pediatricians believe that height and bone density play a larger role regarding a correct seat belt fit than a child’s weight and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children continue to use belt-positioning booster seats until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall and the seat belt fits properly.

Police stopped Barry C. Miller at Eighth Street and Baltimore Avenue because neither he nor his passenger was wearing a seatbelt. A K-9 scan of the vehicle resulted in a positive alert and police located marijuana in a glass jar within a camera case. When asked about weapons, Miller said he had a handgun, but he had a Pennsylvania permit for the gun. Police located a loaded .25 caliber handgun in the driver’s side door and another loaded handgun between the driver’s seat and the center console. They also found a twisted bandana with a pad lock tied to the end of it. Such weapons are known as a smiley or cracker.

Woman steals more than $200k from elderly man NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) A 55-year-old Queenstown woman was charged Monday with stealing more than $100,000 from an elderly Ocean City resident. The victim, an 89-year-old man who lives in a North Ocean City condominium, filed a complaint with a local bank stating that his caretaker, Laura Baker, had taken funds from his checking account without his permission. The man had added Baker to his checking account May 29. An investigation revealed Baker wrote 11 checks to herself, to cash or to other companies or accounts that were

not associated with the man. The total amount of the checks written by Baker was $266,735.27. She wrote those checks from June 27 through Aug. 17. On Sept. 24, the staff of the condominium where Baker and the man each had a unit told Ocean City police that Baker was at her unit. Police had not been able to find the man at his unit. While police were there, Baker called the man on her cell phone and the police talked with him. According to the charging documents, the victim said he had not spoken to Baker about the missing money. He also said he and Baker were engaged and that he had added her to his checking account so she could help him pay his bills. He said

he had never give her permission to write checks to herself. Baker was only supposed to write checks to pay for gas and electric. The police then arrested Baker and charged her with theft of more than $100,000 and having a theft scheme to steal more than $100,000. At the police headquarters in the Public Safety Building, Baker admitted taking money for the man without his permission. According to the charging document, she said, “I made a mistake.” When asked if the police could get any of the man’s money back, she said, “It’s gone.” Baker did not say how much money she had stolen from the man.

Chef believed to have left United States to avoid trial NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) The chef whose nickname vanished from the Berlin restaurant where he was expected to work is believed to have left the country. Francisco DePaz “Paco” Lopez was going to be the chef at a Mexican restaurant on Main Street, buy was charged with sex offenses involving a 4-year-old girl just days before the expected opening. Lopez, 40, had a barbecue party at his West Ocean City residence on July 22.

Someone invited a woman who took her 4-year-old daughter with her. During the party, the girl and another child were playing upstairs. After a few minutes, the other child went outside and told the girl’s mother that Lopez had removed her daughter’s shorts and touched her. He was charged with third- and fourthdegree sex offenses and sex abuse of a minor. Lopez was scheduled to be in Circuit Court in Snow Hill last week for motions in his case to be heard, but he was nowhere in sight. Assistant State’s Attorney Diane

Cuilhe said the U.S. Marshals believed Lopez had absconded to New York. She later said that he might be in Belize. According to online records, Lopez had a bail bond of $150,000 and bonded out July 26. Judge Richard Bloxom issued a warrant for unspecified violations of conditions of pretrial release and ordered him held without bond. Bloxom said he recalled that Lopez had said he did not have a passport, but that he did have a green card. “I’m not sure how this came to happen,” Bloxom said. “He’s in the wind.”

Health concerns keep Mama out of jail for the present NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) Health concerns earned leniency for West Ocean City accountant Jenny Mama, who was given probation rather than jail time Sept. 17 on charges of marijuana possession and driving while impaired. “You violate this probation and you’ll serve every last day of this sentence,” Judge Theodore Eschenburg told Mama, 57, in Circuit Court in Snow Hill after he gave her a suspended six-month jail sentence and put her on supervised probation for three years. Mama had pleaded guilty in July to possession of marijuana and driving while impaired by a controlled dangerous substance on New Year’s Eve in Ocean City. A pre-sentence investigation showed that Mama uses an oxygen tank and a CPAP machine to sleep, circumstances that would complicate her stay in the county jail. Nevertheless, if she violates the probation, Eschenburg said he would reinstate the jail sentence and the jail would have to deal with Mama’s medical conditions. He also imposed a $500 fine on each count.

Pizza business license suspended due to littering (Sept. 28, 2012) Fed up with repeated violations of Ocean City’s ordinance against littering, City Manager David Recor suspended the business license of Marco Polo, a pizzeria. Police have been documenting complaints about handbills distributed by several pizza restaurants since the summer of 2010. They also used a specific case number that correlated to the particular pizza business. On April 13, 2011, owners of three Ocean City pizzerias were asked to appear before the resort Police Commission to address repeated illegal advertising. Those owners were told to cease and desist the distribution of fliers or be subject to a possible penalty. Of the four businesses, the offender

with the most violations, Marco Polo, previously named Mack’s Pizza, did not respond nor attend the meeting. After repeated citations from the police department and warnings from condominiums and hotels, Marco Polo continued to violate the city ordinance. On Sept. 17, the Ocean City police presented evidence at a hearing about Marco Polo’s business license. The evidence demonstrated repeated violations, complaints and calls for service about the distribution of handbills and advertisements resulting in multiple warnings and citations about littering on public property and distribution of handbills and advertisements. During the hearing, the OCPD de-

scribed 27 verified ordinance violations and 54 complaints occurring during the past two years. The business was officially warned in writing three times to stop the illegal practice of distribution of advertisements and handbills. As a result of the continued violations, police charged “Marco Polo” pizza eight separate times, which led to convictions in Ocean City District Court. The business continued the illegal practice of “distribution of advertisements and handbills even after the District Court convictions. As a result of these circumstances, Recor has suspended the operator’s license for the business known as “Marco Polo” pizza for a period of 30-days as permitted by Section 14-33(a)3 of the Town Code.

WOC man accused of stealing rings from Bdwk. shop NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) A 62-year-old West Ocean City man who is accused of stealing an engagement ring and a wedding ring from a Boardwalk store Saturday told police “that you will do crazy things for women,” according to the charging documents. George Glen Lentz of no fixed address, but who gave an address in Mystic Harbour to police, went to the Jewel of the Ocean store at 406 S. Atlantic Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. Video surveillance viewed later

showed Lentz talking with several sales associates for an hour or so. At 8:30 p.m., he placed the engagement ring and wedding ring in his hand and walked out of the store. Eviatar Cohen, the store manager, and a sales associate ran after Lentz. Cohen grabbed Lentz by the arm, and Lentz responded by trying to pull away. Two good Samaritans, later identified as Christopher George Kalwa, 32, and Lucus Paul Brewer, 31, got off a bus and put Lentz on the ground. They had him pinned to the ground when police arrived. Cohen told police the engagement ring

was valued at $5,800 and the wedding band was valued at $4,255. Price tags were still on the rings. When police asked Lentz what had happened, he said, “I stole a ring,” according to the charging document. When he was talking to a different police officer, he said he took the two rings from the store and that “you will do crazy things for women.” Lentz also reportedly said he had consumed a few beers and no food that day. Police charged Lentz with theft of $100,000 or more and two counts of theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000.

Maryland schools rewarded for strengthening achievement

Stephen Decatur High School junior Paige Bradford, sophomores Christina Van Vonno, Serena Craven, and juniors Cora Cox, and Ciara Wright participated as face painters during the inaugural Bounce Out Bullying event sponsored by the Acts of Kindness organization and the Student Government Association. The daylong event, held Sept. 15, featured numerous events for children as well as a three-on-three basketball tournament. Proceeds for the event will go toward future bullying prevention campaigns.

Maryland’s new Reward Schools program was developed as part of MSDE’s plan for flexibility from parts of the federal government’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Maryland plan, approved in May, refocuses the state’s ongoing accountability efforts by eliminating the continuum of sanctions known as the School Improvement process. Title I schools cited are either high performing — having met objectives for all subgroups over the past two consecutive years ending with the 2010-2011 school year — or high progress — having significantly cut gaps in achievement between racial or special services subgroups since 2007. In Worcester County, Buckingham and Snow Hill elementary schools were recognized in the “Distinguished High Performing” category, and Pocomoke Elementary School in the “Superlative High Performing” category. Schools in Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Garrett, Prince George’s, Somerset and Wicomico counties, as well as Baltimore City, were also named Reward Schools for the 201213 school year. This recognition comes with no financial benefits, but certificates of recognition will be sent to each school and additional honors will go to the highest achieving schools in the category.

BOUNCE OUT BULLYING

(Sept. 28, 2012) Thirty Maryland Title I public schools were honored last week for their efforts to improve student achievement. The schools, known as “Reward Schools,” have made strides in overall student work, as well as in reducing gaps in achievement. The schools are spread across nine Maryland systems. “Every child must be given the opportunity to achieve, and these Reward Schools spotlight outstanding educational opportunities provided in classrooms throughout our State,” said Maryland State Superintendent of Schools Lillian M. Lowery. “Students in Title I schools often face significant economic hardships, and yet the data shows that they can succeed and thrive in our classrooms.”

Statewide AP participation, achievement continue upward trajectory (Sept. 28, 2012) Maryland students recorded another major jump in both Advanced Placement (AP) assessment participation and success, according to newly released data. Nearly 63,000 Maryland students took at least one AP test last year, an increase of 5.4 percent over 2010, and the number of exams taken jumped 5.4 percent to 116,614. In spite of the increase, the number of student test scores reaching the high-achieving scores of 3-5 increased almost 10 percent. Hitting a score of 3-5 qualifies students to receive credit at many colleges and universities. The data was released Sept. 24, by the College Board, which administers AP and other national programs. “In Maryland, we’ve set a goal to improve student achievement and college and career readiness by 25 percent by the end of 2015,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley. “We place education at the top of our agenda because we know what stronger schools and better classrooms mean to Maryland’s future. This data serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work of our talented educators and students, and provides more proof that we are targeting our investments correctly.” State Superintendent of Schools Lillian M. Lowery said the results are a positive sign that students are becoming better prepared for life beyond high school. “Advanced Placement offers rigorous courses of study, serving as a cor-

nerstone for future success in college or a career field,” Lowery said. “Maryland students are eager to test their mettle in everything from calculus to English literature.” Maryland student success on the AP exams has ranked first in the nation for the past four years. The College Board will release its 2012 rankings early in 2013. Scores on the SAT exam registered a decline — both in Maryland and across the nation. Maryland’s composite SAT score fell five points to 1487 on the 2400point scale. Maryland students scored a 497 in critical reading (down two points, 502 in mathematics (even), and 488 in writing (down 3 points). Although participation in the SAT was flat from 2011 to 2012, nearly 50,000 students (47,467) took the test in Maryland last year. The state has been working closely with the College Board to increase participation of underrepresented minority group students over the past five years, and that effort has paid off. There has been an 8.5 percent increase in African American participation since 2008, and an 18.7 percent jump in Hispanic student participation. “Our state has been very successful in increasing participation and diversity in the pool of students taking the SAT over the past decade, but gaps in success have been a problem both here and across the nation,” Lowery said. “Maryland’s Race to the Top program, and its associated re-

form efforts, specifically target these gaps. Once fully implemented, we expect this work to bear fruit. This work is critical to our state’s economic future.” Maryland SAT scores continue to compare favorably to the results recorded by students in similar states. For example, Maryland students outscored students in the neighboring SAT-dominated states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., and their scores ranked seventh among the 20 states with 62 percent or more of their graduates taking the SAT. Maryland has a 74 percent participation rate among high school seniors on the SAT. Among the other information in the College Board’s report: n Scores on the PSAT/NMSQT test were down slightly for juniors taking the exam, although there was a 2.6 percent increase in participation. The mean critical reading score for juniors was down .1 points to 46.8; the mean math score was down 1.0 points to 46.9, and the writing skills mean fell back .3 points to 44.9. n There was another increase of students taking the PSAT as sophomores, and score results were mixed. The critical reading mean was up .7 points and the writing skills mean was up .3 points, while the mean math score was down 1.1 points. n AP participation went up across racial subgroups. African American students tallied a 2.2 percent increase in participation, and a 1.5 percent jump in the

number of tests taken. Hispanic student participation jumped 6.5 percent. Asian participation, which has always been strong, went up another 6.8 percent. n Success on the AP also was registered across many racial subgroups, according to the College Board data. The number of African-American students scoring a 3 or better on an AP exam went up 12.2 percent in just one year; the number of Hispanic students scoring at this high range jumped 14.1 percent. The number of Asian students reaching a score of 3-5 was up 9.2 percent, while the number of White students hitting that mark rose 6.7 percent. Maryland officials are particularly gratified by the increase in participation across the board. The State’s long-running partnership with the College Board has helped increase the number of students in urban and rural communities involved in both the AP and SAT programs. MSDE is in the second year of a threeyear, $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to expand its successful AP Program. The competitive grant, “Operation ACCESS: Building the STEM Pipeline for College and Career,” will address the need to increase the successful participation of low-income students in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams using six strategies: acceleration, college and career readiness, community connections, enrichment, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) courses, and student and family support.

Mallards fall to Jaguars by 3 in overtime

2012 RYDER CUP

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) The Worcester Prep-Salisbury Christian boys’ soccer game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, and in overtime, the Jaguars scored three goals to win on their home field. “It was a really tough, hard game,” said Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler. The visiting Mallards got on the board first, when senior Seth Conboy dribbled by two Salisbury Christian players and scored at the 28-minute mark in the first half. About 11 minutes into the second half, the Jaguars netted a goal to tie the score at 1-all. “Both teams had good chances in the game,” Underkoffler said. “There was good goalkeeping on both sides. [Prep senior] Zander Farr and [Salisbury’s] Aaron Brumbley both had key saves.” The Jaguars scored twice in the first 10-minute overtime period and tacked on another goal in the second to win 4-1. “Even though the score was 4-1, it was a pretty even game. It was a very good game,” Underkoffler said. “We had several chances, but their goalkeeper came up with some big saves.” Worcester will compete in several games in the next few days. The Mallards will travel to Centreville today, Friday, to play Gunston Day. The team will head to Georgetown, Del., to battle Delmarva Christian on Monday, and the following day, Salisbury School will come to Berlin.

THAT’S A WRAP! Local bodyboarder Brian Stoehr finishes third in U.S. Pro Tour competition

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Professional bodyboarder Brian Stoehr recently wrapped up United States Bodyboard Association Pro Tour competition, finishing third overall in the drop knee division. The first tour event of the season, the U.S. Open in Huntington Beach, Calif., took place in early June. Stoehr earned seventh place

honors in his event. The Selbyville, Del.-based bodyboarder has racked up numerous accomplishments throughout his 14-year career. For the first time, Stoehr advanced to the drop knee finals of the Dave & Buster’s Sandy Beach Pro in Oahu, Hawaii, held July 7-8. He placed fourth overall in the second tour event of the year, behind three Hawaiian locals — Dave Hubbard, Sammy Morretino and

Kawika Kamai. “It’s the best I’ve ever done in a Hawaiian event,” Stoehr said after the competition. His previous top performance during that contest was seventh place. “Hawaiian events are tougher. [Hawaiians] are known for being the best bodyboarders in the world. Those guys know those waves so well.” Stoehr’s fourth-place finish at the Sandy Beach Pro See STOEHR on Page 40

Though ‘flat on the field, Seahawks take down Eagles, Clippers LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Though it took time for the Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team to find its groove against the Snow Hill Eagles and James M. Bennett Clippers, the Lady Seahawks prevailed against both opponents. Last Friday, Decatur traveled down the road to face

county rival Snow Hill. The home team capitalized first, scoring less than five minutes into the game. “Snow Hill was fired up and we were flat. We got off to a really shaky start,” said Decatur Coach Misty Bunting. “I think it was just nerves and excitement after getting rained out earlier in the week.” Senior Brittney Calandra, who transfered from Snow

Hill to Decatur at the start of the school year, evened the score at 1-all. Less than a minute later, she gave the Seahawks the go-ahead goal. She earned a hat trick against her former team and senior Tori Whigham tallied goals to put Decatur on top 4-1 going into the halftime break. “We started settling the ball down and played balls through to the forwards on the ground.

[We] started rolling at that point,” Bunting said. Decatur tacked on five additional goals, two of which were netted by Calandra, in the second half to win the game 9-1. Calandra led Decatur with five goals. “Her goals came out of hustle,” Bunting said. Whigham (two assists), junior Liz Rougcher and sophoSee BUNTING on Page 41

Decatur golfers capture coveted ’12 Ryder Cup LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) The Stephen Decatur golf team had a 4.5-3.5 point lead over Worcester Prep going into the second round of the annual “Battle of Berlin” Ryder Cup tournament on Tuesday at The Links at Lighthouse Sound in Bishopville.

Decatur sat on a one-point advantage when play began Tuesday. Ten golfers from each team battled in singles competition. At the end of the match, the Decatur Seahawks had earned 8.5 points and the Worcester Prep Mallards scored 1.5 points. Decatur players who won their matches are senior Joe Iacona, juniors Matt Ruggiere, Andrew Urban and Chase Eslin and sophomores Delaney Iacona, Brooks Holloway and Danny Parker. Since there are only eight players on the Decatur varsity team, two junior varsity players competed. See DECATUR on Page 41

Decatur puts damper on rival homecoming; beats Bennett 45-0

* " ( %! " % ! " (

LISA CAPITELLI ■Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) The Stephen Decatur football team scored early and often last Friday, shutting out the James M. Bennett Clippers 45-0 and spoiling their homecoming celebration at Wicomico Stadium in Salisbury. The Seahawks ran the ball and controlled the line of scrimmage. Senior James Mapp (13 carries for 153 yards) and juniors P.J. Copes (10 rushes for 128 yards) and Chase Sams (seven runs for 41 yards) alone combined for more than 300 yards. Senior quarterback Collin Macomber was 3-for-5 passing for 87 yards. “We ran the ball a lot,� Decatur Coach Bob Knox said. Mapp got things going for the Seahawks early in the first quarter. He scored from four yards out to put Decatur on the board. Macomber later completed a 44-yard pass to senior Cameron Gaynor, launching the visiting team to a 13-0 lead at the end of the quarter. Late in the second quarter, Copes ran the ball 63 yards into the end zone, and Decatur went into the halftime break ahead 19-0. Sams opened the third quarter with a four-yard run to boost the Seahawks’ advantage to 25-0. Mapp and juniors Demond Henry and Collin Bankert also scored in the second half of the game. “It was a total team effort. It was nice to get all the kids involved,� Knox said. “We have some injuries and the whole team stepped up.� Mapp led the Decatur offense, tallying 153 yards on 13 carries and scoring two touchdowns. On defense, junior Wyatt Brady made 10 tackles. Marwan Saleh, a junior, had nine tackles and senior Patrick Phillips took down seven Clippers. Sophomore Shawn’ye Jones and senior Tony Sullivan also contributed, recording six and five tackles respectively. Although Knox was pleased with the performance overall, he said the Seahawks will need to play much better tonight, Friday, if they want a victory over the Queen Anne’s Lions. Queen Anne’s will battle Decatur on the Seahawks’ homecoming. Game time is 6 p.m. In 2011, Decatur upset Queen Anne’s during its homecoming celebration, winning the game 34-31 in overtime. The Lions hadn’t lost a Bayside Conference match in four years and had a 37-game regular season win streak going before falling to the Seahawks. “We cut their win streak last year and I’m sure their players and coaches haven’t forgotten,� Knox said. “They’re the No. 1 team in the conference. We have to be more physical and more discipline than them and not make any mistakes.� Decatur’s homecoming king and queen will be honored during halftime. There will also be fireworks at the break and following the game.

Seahawks rally late in game,but fall by one to visiting Clippers LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Stephen Decatur junior Erin Florek, right, battles for the ball with a James M. Bennett player during Monday’s game in Berlin. Bennett won 2-1.

(Sept. 28, 2012) As Stephen Decatur Coach Michelle Fluty watched the Lady Seahawks’ warm up before Monday’s field hockey game against the James M. Bennett Clippers, she noticed the girls didn’t seem focused. The visiting Clippers took full advantage of the girls’ lackluster behavior, scoring two goals in the first half. “The girls were kind of fooling around in warm-ups and the first half we came out flat. I really feel like we warmed up for the first half and that’s unfortunate,” Fluty said after Decatur’s 2-1 loss to Bennett. “It was the same kind of issues — we weren’t marking up so we were giving them shots

and opportunities to score.” The Seahawks improved their level of play in the second half. Decatur continued to pressured the Bennett goal and was finally successful. Junior Cassidy Remmell scored with 10 minutes remaining in the match. The goal boosted the Seahawks’ confidence, Fluty said, and the home team battled to tie the score, but they ran out of time. “They realized, ‘We can do this. We can hang with this team,’ and were stepping to the ball and pressuring and supporting each other,” Fluty said. “But at that point, most of the game was over and we didn’t have time to take advantage. The last half of the second half, they played up to their potential. [For] about 15 minutes we actually played [well], but it took 45 minutes to warm up and get to where we should have been at the start of the game.” Freshman Sophia Clementi, who started in goal for Decatur, recorded three saves. Abby Friedman, a junior, played in the cage in the second half and stopped six Bennett shots. The Seahawks will have a game on the road Monday against the St. Michaels Saints. “We’re playing for the post season, so we’ve just got to get better with each game and stop making the same mistakes that we’ve corrected at practice. We’re looking forward to the second half of the season,” Fluty said.

was the best anyone from the east coast has done in more than 20 years. “I’m very fulfilled with my career already. A couple times over the years I’ve done something that I’ve never done before, but this is a big deal,” said Stoehr, who grew up riding waves in Ocean City. “It’s right up there with winning the tour a few years ago. I was pleased to accomplish something that I’ve never done before.” The final tour event, the Jenks Pro competition, was held Labor Day weekend in Point Pleasant, N.J. Stoehr finished in seventh place. “I didn’t do quite as well as I hoped on the last event of the tour,” Stoehr said. “I surfed good, but I always want to do better.” His combined finishes during the three events earned him third place overall for the tour standings. “While I really wanted to win the tour, since I put myself in position to do so again, it is still an achievement for me to finish third in the U.S. at a professional level at 33 years old,” he said. Stoehr is a two-time United States Bodyboard Association Pro Tour champion in the drop knee division, winning in 2008 and 2009. He has finished in the top 10 every year since his professional career began at the age of 19.

mores Jillian Petito and Payton VanKirk scored one goal apiece. Junior Ashley DePaul started in goal for Decatur and recorded six saves. Freshman Lexi Gausepohl made three saves in the second half. Decatur hosted Bennett on Monday. The Seahawks attacked the Clipper goal from the opening whistle. Nine minutes into the contest, Whigham knocked the ball into the goal off freshman Lexi McDonough’s corner kick. Calandra scored about 10 minutes into the second half. She added another goal less than five minutes later to boost De-

catur’s advantage 3-0. “We were flat, particularly up top, in the first 20 minutes. We were playing some nice balls through from the midfield, but it seemed like we were half a step behind. And it seemed like we played too much kickball in the first half,� Bunting said. “Once we settled down things went much better. We picked up the level of hustle and aggressiveness in the second half.� DePaul recorded eight saves for the Seahawks. On Tuesday, Decatur will take a trip to Salisbury to play the Parkside Rams.

Decatur outscores Worcester 13-5 in 2012 Ryder Cup action Continued from Page 38

Overall, Decatur outscored Worcester 13-5 in Ryder Cup action to regain the trophy. “It was quite an impressive victory for the Stephen Decatur Seahawks going up against a talented Worcester Prep team. Kevin Gates does a phenomenal job, and in my opinion, Worcester Prep is one of the strongest golf teams on the Shore,�

Lady Mallards pick up pace after slow start, shut out Jaguars 8-0 LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor

OPTIMIST FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP GOLF TOURNEY A SUCCESS

(Sept. 28, 2012) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team got off to a slow start on Monday against the Salisbury Christian Jaguars, but the Lady Mallards picked up the pace and pulled out an 8-0 victory. “There’s something about that field. They have trouble adjusting to it,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. “It took us a while to get going, but Prep Coach then we just played really well.” Carol Hartnett The visiting Mallards led 5-0 at halftime and tacked on three additional goals in the second half. Seven players scored for Worcester. Senior Meredith Soulé led the offensive charge with two goals. Alex Bruder and Meredith Smith, both seniors, juniors Frankie Willing and Lilly DiNardo, sophomore Molly Soulé and freshman Julia D’Antonio each scored once.

“It took us a while to get going, but then we just played really well.” WORCESTER PREP COACH CAROL HARTNETT about the Lady Mallard’s 8-0 win over the Salisbury Christian Jaguars on Monday “It was a great game with Salisbury Christian,” Hartnett said. “They were doing the things we’ve been learning all season in practice.” Prep goalie Grace Tunis, a freshman, logged two saves before sophomore Mikalah Potvin took over midway into the second half. She stopped three Jaguars’ shots. The St. Andrews Saints will come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game against Worcester. “They’re a talented team. They’re always strong,” Hartnett said. “Every girl just needs to do her job and we’ll be fine. The girls should respect them, but not fear them.”

The recent Optimist Foundation golf tournament to support scholarships at Stephen Decatur High School was a great success. Monies raised were deposited in a scholarship endowment with the Eastern Shore Community Foundation. The Optimist Club has awarded more than 280 scholarships for approximately $1.5 million during the past 24 years.

Lady Seahawks win Tues.meet in Easton; boys finish second LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) The Stephen Decatur girls cross country team won Tuesday’s seven-school meet hosted by the Easton Warriors. The Lady Seahawks scored 24 points. Mardela finished second with 53 points. Decatur senior Lauren Buckman led the field of female runners, crossing the finish line first (22:59). Also contributing in the victory were juniors Chloe FauntLeRoy (third, 23:55), Alex Tushup (fourth, 24:03) and Alex Saunders (fifth, 24:04) and sophomore Jordan Klebe (11th, 25:50). “We did pretty well. I would have liked for us to go against Kent Island, because they’re a strong team,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. Kent Island’s bus arrived late and the girls missed their race, so they ran with the boys. “Our times were pretty good, but there’s still room to improve.” The Decatur boys’ team finished in second place (80 points) behind Kent Is-

Inconsistency hurts Seahawks in battle against rival Rams LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Coach Sarah Zimmer was pleased with the Stephen Decatur Lady Seahawks’ performance, at times, but the girls were also inconsistent during Tuesday’s volleyball match against the Parkside Rams in Salisbury. “With my girls, I feel like they are very up and down,” Zimmer said after the loss. “They can’t get up and stay up consistently.” Zimmer thought the Seahawks were “flat” in the first game, when they fell 2526 to Parkside. “We weren’t communicating well and our passes were not good for the setters,” Zimmer said. The team’s communication improved in the second game, but Zimmer said passes were still off target and Decatur lost to Parkside by four points, 25-21. The Seahawks turned things around in the third game to earn a 25-15 victory. “The third game was totally different. Everything flowed and we worked together,” Zimmer said. “We were communicating, we were moving our feet, we had great passes and the hits were there.” Unfortunately for Decatur, the high level of play didn’t last. The Rams took the final game 25-15 to win the match. “We kind of fell apart. Everything broke down again,” Zimmer said. Decatur senior Casey Ortiz had six aces and 11 kills. Setter Ashley Trice, a senior, recorded 10 assists. Senior Bianca Alvarado tallied five kills and 14 digs. Defensive specialist Alexis Martinek, a senior, dug 14 Parkside hits. Decatur will travel to Pocomoke on Tuesday to play the Warriors.

land (20). The Seahawks’ top five athletes to cross the finish line were seniors Nick Molitor (seventh, 18:34) and Dan Winters (12th, 18:57), sophomore Jake Decatur Coach Gaddis (19th, 19:42) and juniors Kevin Herbert Jody Stigler (22nd, 19:55) and John Niedfeldt (25th, 20:09). “We did pretty well. Kent Island’s a tough team,” Stigler said. “Easton (third, 91 points) and Parkside (fifth, 95 points) beat us in the first meet, so for us to come in second is pretty good. It shows we’re improving.” Decatur will compete on Wednesday in the annual Tidewater Fall Classic at Winter Place Park in Salisbury, where more than two-dozen public and private schools from Maryland and Delaware will be represented.

BANK RECOGNIZES WEEK 4 DECATUR MVP The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the broadcast of the Stephen Decatur High School football games each week on WQMR 101.1 FM.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

Some factors to consider when buying home LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) When searching for a home, most buyers look primarily at the purchase price — but there are many other important factors to consider that will affect your buying capability. Lenders take into account both your principal and interest payment, plus the variety of factors below that could increase your monthly payment. Here’s a list of examples you should consider when looking at homes: ■ Taxes: As Benjamin Franklin said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” And, taxes are definitely certain in the world of real estate. Homeowners will have county and state taxes, but if the house is within city limits, you may also have to pay city taxes. Positives to having the house within city limits and paying the city tax though is that it usually provides public water/sewer and trash removal; however, the water/wastewater carries an additional price tag that is billed monthly or quarterly. ■ Well and septic versus public water: As mentioned above, another consideration is whether a house has private or public water and sewer. If a house is on well and septic, this can help to make the house more affordable upfront, as there would be no water/wastewater bills from a municipality. But, it’s important to understand that the replacement of both well and septic systems are quite costly, so purchasers should have a good understanding of the expected lifespan of the existing systems. ■ Homeowner/condo fees: Condos, townhomes and singlefamily homes can all have homeowner or condo associations that will require additional annual expenditures. Be sure to understand how much the associations charge, the likelihood of any upcoming special assessments that may be charged to owners, and what your dues cover. See MAKE on Page 47

Mother’s Cantina owners Ryan and Neely James, joined by their son, Reed, display fish tacos, with cabbage slaw and corn salsa, one of the dishes they will feature at the 28th Street restaurant, Oct. 6-13, during the second annual From the Bay, For the Bay Dine Out! promotion. During that week, participating restaurants will include seafood items on their menu and for each dish sold, that business will donate $1 to support the Oyster Restoration Partnership, a nonprofit group that works to restore and replenish the oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay.

EVENT BENEFITS BAY OYSTERS Restaurants will feature seafood items on menus during Oct. 6-13 promo LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Organizers of the second annual From the Bay, For the Bay Dine Out! are looking for additional restaurants to participate in the promotion. For each seafood dish sold during the week of Oct. 6-13, restaurant owners will donate $1 to support the Oyster Restoration Partnership, a nonprofit group that works to restore and replenish the oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay. “This is an excellent promotion highlighting local products and supporting local industries,” said Susan L. Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association. “The tie to the Oyster Recovery Partnership is also wonderful as they have a great program for replenishing oysters. For the last couple of years, a few of our local restaurants have been taking their old oyster shells to a Dumpster for this program.”

PHOTOS COURTESY TRAVIS WRIGHT

The Shark on the Harbor in West Ocean City is one of the restaurants participating in the event. Pictured is the restaurant’s “Redneck Surf and Turf,” a grilled pork chop basted with Carolina-style mustard barbecue sauce, topped with crispy oysters.

If a restaurant’s fish tacos are designated as the “From the Bay, For the Bay” special, for example, and 75 are sold between Oct. 6 and 13, that establishment’s donation would be $75. Donations are tax-deductible. Organizers ask each business to make a minimum donation of $50 to help cover the expenses of the promotion. The three restaurants that garner the most donations will win a “day on the bay”

for some of the staff. “We wanted to do something in the fall to raise money to get more oysters out in the bay. It’s an easy promotion for the restaurants to participate in,” said Steve Vilnit, director of fisheries marketing for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “Restaurants use the oysters in the bay and the promotion is a good way to support local watermen. [Oyster Restoration Partnership] is a great nonprofit for money to go to.” Travis Wright, chef and owner of Shark on the Harbor in West Ocean City, participated in the inaugural promotion last year, along with more than 190 other restaurants from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. “[My wife] Jody and I have actually toured the Oyster Recovery Programs lab at Horn Point and saw the whole process. We were really impressed with the work they do there and we were on board from then on,” he said. In the last decade, the Oyster Recovery Partnership has replanted hundreds of millions of oysters in the bay. During the inaugural From the Bay, For the Bay event in 2011 more than $25,000 was donated to See MOTHER’S on Page 47

the Oyster Restoration Partnership. “From that money we were able to put out over 3 million oysters in the bay,� Vilnit said. Shark on the Harbor will participate again this year, along with another resort restaurant, Mother’s Cantina on 28th Street. During the weeklong campaign, restaurants from Philadelphia to Northern Virginia will feature fresh, locally caught Maryland seafood for their guests. Wright said he will probably offer two oyster appetizers and a pork dish that incorporates oysters as well. The restaurant already prepares, what he calls “redneck surf and turf,� a grilled pork chop basted with Carolina-style mustard barbecue sauce, topped with crispy oysters. Wright said he buys fresh Hooper’s Island jumbo lump when it’s in season, so he may include a dish or two with that, as well.

This is the first time Mother’s Cantina will participate in the promotion. “We’re part of the True Blue Program with Maryland DNR, so it’s something that we focus on all the time, not just for the promotion. Using fresh local seafood is paramount to our business,� said Ryan James, owner of Mother’s Cantina with his wife, Neely. “While we leave serving oysters to others, we understand how important they are as water filters and habitats for the crabs and fish we do serve,� Neely James added. “Ryan and I grew up on the bay, went to Maryland schools and our kids will do the same, so promoting the health of the bay has and will continue to be part of our family history.� The restaurant’s true blue crab quesadilla, already a crowd favorite, will be featured during the promotion as well as fish tacos, with cabbage slaw and corn salsa.

“The fish will be whatever is local and fresh that day, maybe snakehead, dogfish or blue catfish,� she said. Restaurant owners who would like to register their business should e-mail Vilnit at svilnit@dnr.state.md.us. For more information, visit www.dnr.state.md.us/ fisheries/fromthebay/. “Anything we get is great. Obviously, the more restaurants and the more money the better,� Vilnit said. “The goal is to raise awareness of Maryland seafood and money for oyster restoration.� Wright said supporting oyster restoration is important because they are nature’s filter for the Chesapeake Bay. “One oysters can filter 50 gallons of bay water each day, which is really amazing if you think about it,� he said. “Everyone knows that the health of the Chesapeake has been in decline and a healthy oyster population can help to turn that around.�

n Homeowners insurance: Homeowners obtaining a mortgage will be required to secure a hazard policy on a home that will cover losses in the event of a fire, etc. If homes have swimming pools, or are located in certain areas, it might be harder to obtain coverage.

million mark. It was the sixth consecutive year that more than $100,000 was donated to the organization. During a wrap-up meeting last November, it was announced that during 2011 Pink Ribbon Classic events, $186,000 (net) had been donated. “The classic exceeded all expectations,” Kathy Decker, 2011 community manager for the American Cancer Society South Atlantic Division, Area 27 Delmarva, said after the total was announced. “This is such a seasoned group of women (volunteers). We had some new women come in this year and they hit the ground running … It’s been quite an experience for me, and I take pride in the fact these ladies are part of my community and they’re my neighbors and friends.”

In 2005, Kathy Mathias, a longtime American Cancer Society volunteer who battled breast cancer for many years, took over as chairwoman of the Classic. A special tribute was paid to Mathias, who lost her fight with cancer in last August, during each of the Classic events. While each event had its own chairperson, Chris Butler took over for Mathias as overall chairwoman of the 2011 Classic. Butler had been a committee member and involved with the organization for several years. “It went fantastic,” Butler said of the 2011 series. “Everything was great and everyone worked together. It was a fitting tribute to Kathy Mathias for all she did over the years. The community was very generous with its See GOLF on Page 64

Regional wineries come together for weekend festival on the beach wine Plantations in Mt. Airy, the business has participated in the festival since its inception 17 years ago. Garcia said Linganore representatives enjoy educating festival attendees about the winery and its wines. “It’s a great feeling when they tell us about how much they enjoy our wines and their experiences at our winery. We couldn’t be who we are without their support,” Garcia said. “We make over 30 wines so we have several that are popular. Among those, we have a dry white, White Raven; a dry red blend, Black Raven; a sweet white, Skipjack (2012 Governor’s Cup Silver winner); and a 100-percent Raspberry wine.” Guests can taste those as well as several other Linganore wines at the festival. St. Michaels Winery has been a Wine Fest vendor for the past five years, according to Marketing and Events Director Lindsay Greenwood. “It is a wonderful location and the perfect time of year to enjoy wine, food and music by the ocean,” Greenwood said. Some of St. Michaels’ best selling and most popular wines are the sweet Gollywobbler Red, Pink and White, as well as the Chocolate Zinfandel. They will be featured at the festival along with a handful of others. Fenwick Wine Cellars, located off Route 54 in Fenwick Island, Del., will also attend. The winery made its debut at the festival in 2010. “It’s a great location, great atmosphere and a nice selection of wines and ven-

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) Vineyards and wineries from Maryland, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia will offer an assortment of wines to sample this weekend in Ocean City during the 17th annual Wine Festival on the Beach. The two-day event, set for today, Friday, and Saturday, at the inlet parking lot, attracts both wine connoisseurs and occasional indulgers annually. Several thousand attend the festival each year for the opportunity to learn about and taste various regional wines. Some people spend a full day at the festival, sipping wine and listening to the live music, as vendors will present a wide selection of dry, semi-dry, sweet and semisweet, red, white, blush and fruityblended wines. Sampling of wines will take place onsite. Adults will receive a complimentary wine-tasting glass and sample coupons upon entering the festival grounds. Wines may be purchased, packaged and saved for later, as well. Maryland wineries scheduled to be part of the 2012 festival are Boordy Vineyards, Dove Valley, Far Eastern Shore Winery, Frederick Cellars, Knob Hall Winery, Layton’s Chance Vineyard and Winery, Legends Vineyard, Linganore Winecellars, Solomons Island Winery and St. Michaels Winery. According to Jessica Garcia, marketing director for Linganore Winecellars/Berry-

dors,” said owner Adrian Mobilia. Some of the blends Fenwick Wine Cellars will offer include Niagara, Catawba, Concord, Cabernet, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. “We typically lean more toward the sweet wines because that is what the crowd seems to prefer, but we always have some of the more traditional dry wines on hand,” he said. Brotherhood and Hazlitt Vineyards of New York, Chaddsford Winery of Pennsylvania, Horton Vineyards of Virginia and Forks of Cheat Winery and WestWhitehill Winery Ltd. of West Virginia will also present some of their wines. Marketing Director Neil Glaser said what Horton Vineyards representatives like most about the event are the beach atmosphere and the attendees. “Everyone is ready to have fun and there is no room for wine snobs,” he joked. Horton Vineyards had been a festival participant since its inception. “Horton will be bringing over 20 wines to sample and buy. These will include Chardonnay, Rkatsiteli (a varietal from the Georgian Republic), six-plus different fruit wines including strawberry, cranberry and mango,” he said. “We’ll also have our chocolate wines and some other sweet goodies.” Chaddsford Winery is also a longtime wine festival vendor, participating for approximately 10 years, according to General Manager Bob Brock. Chaddsford will display its Niagara, Sangria, Sunset Blush and Spiced Apple wines, among others.

“It’s always nice to see people who come to our booth every year. Each year we have had people come to the winery in Chadds Ford because they saw and tasted at the Wine Fest,” Brock said. “The wines we are bringing this year are, for the most part, on the sweet side and are available throughout Maryland at retailers.” Though wine will be the main attraction of the event, brewing companies such as Fat Tire and St. Michaels Ale will be at the festival to introduce visitors to specialty beers, which will be available for purchase. Other vendors will offer a variety of wine- and non-wine-related merchandise. Food will be available, as well. Bird Dog and the Road Kings, Three Penny Opera and Blue Deville are scheduled to provide the musical entertainment during the two-day event. Visitors are encouraged to take a blanket or chairs to enjoy the music. General admission costs $25 for adults, ages 21 and older. A $2-off admission coupon is available at www.winefest.com. For those who do not drink, admission includes commemorative wine glass and unlimited soft drinks from the designated driver area. Admission costs $5 for guests ages 20 and younger, who must be accompanied by an adult. There is no admission charge for children ages 7 and younger. The festival will be open today and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For information, call 410-280-3306 or visit www.winefest.com.

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your objectivity and avoid showing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations. BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

Gems, minerals and jewelry available at resort show LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Sept. 28, 2012) A variety of items, including gemstones, crystals and fashion pieces, among others, will be on display this weekend, during the fall Treasures of the Earth Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show at the Ocean City convention center. “We have been having the gem shows in Ocean City for over 20 years. We have had the shows in July, August and September as well as in the spring time during this period,” said Barbara Haney, co-organizer of the event with Peggy Gwaltney. The company has been presenting the resort show for more than 20 years; Haney and Gwaltney have worked with the company since 1992. The event will showcase finished precious and semi-precious gemstones, as

well as opals, turquoise, geodes and crystals. More than 30 dealers will be at the 40th Street venue this year, traveling from states such as Virginia, New York, North and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Ohio. Dealers will offer finished 14-karat and sterling silver, gold, classic, contemporary and handmade jewelry, pearls, beads, fossils, crystals, mineral specimens, stone carvings, fine gems, loose stones, estate and fashion pieces and wire wrappings. Jewelers can also remount and set stones, or repair jewelry. Guests who like making their own jewelry will have the opportunity to pick up supplies at the show. An assortment of merchandise will be available as well, at varying price ranges from inexpensive to high-end jewelry, Haney said. “Some of the merchandise of the deal-

ers changes from show to show, but we have such a great variety of items for sale that it is difficult to see them all in a short time,” she said. Many people come back year after year to purchase new things at the show. Depending on the weather, annual attendance varies from 1,000 to more than 1,400 during the course of the three days. Visitors will have the chance to win daily door prizes, including a pendant, silver earrings and a pearl necklace. The grand prize drawing for a quarter-carat diamond will take place on Sunday. Admission costs $4 for adults. Children 16 and younger will be admitted free. Show hours are Friday, noon to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. A $1-off coupon for the show can be found online at www.TreasuresoftheEarth.net.

‘Zombie Crawl’ to benefit Maryland Food Bank,Veterans of America Continued from Page 52

PHOTO COURTESY OCEAN CITY ZOMBIE CRAWL

Organized by Sarah Pallia, in white shirt center, and John Insley, the second annual Ocean City Zombie Crawl will take place Saturday, with stops at several Boardwalk hot spots.

“He thought it would be fun to dress up like zombies,” she said. Insley is organizing the 2012 event with Pallia. Approximately 80 people participated last year, when the bar crawl took place at several locations around town. Pallia said she expects about 130 zombies this year. John Insley “We want to get as many people we can dressed up like zombies walking down the Boardwalk,” she said. The event was moved from July to September in 2012 because the resort is not as busy this time of year and more people, especially locals, will be able to participate. It is also taking place on the Boardwalk so no one drives. Organizers

urge participants to drink responsibly. Bus schedules and taxi information will be available at each crawl stop. For those who miss the group at the starting venue, Pepper’s Tavern, a time schedule and map will be available at each participating business so zombies can catch up with the undead crew. “We expect it to be a good time. Who doesn’t like to get dressed up whenever they have a chance to?” Pallia said. “Everyone had such a blast last year.” For more information about the event, visit www.ocmdzombiecrawl.weebly.com or search “Ocean City Md Zombie Crawl” on Facebook. Make-up tips and clothing suggestions are provided on the Web site. Pallia said some extra costumes and make-up will be available during the walk for those who want to join the event and don’t have an outfit.

Perfection isn’t granted; it’s obtained through hard work, precise calculations FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Personal touches can add flavor to precooked dish DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (Sept. 28, 2012) The philosophy of simplicity encompasses many aspects of cooking, but when closely examined, does simplicity equate easiness? On the opposite end of the spectrum, perfection must be examined to truly comprehend simplicity. Is it possible simplicity in certain circumstances can retain components of brilliance? In order for us to put this theory to task, we must turn our discussion to specifics. Acquaintances with particulars are an exercise of the senses and intuition; knowl-

edge is not to be left out of the circle of experimentation. Let us remember perfection is not granted — it is obtained through hard work and precise calculations. The holiday season is around the corner and ham is the subject for analysis. Spiral hams are precooked, sliced, and come with a packet of glaze — what could be easier? Actuality and hypothesis are two different concepts. What works for one does not necessarily support the other. In this particular case, what one perceives as being an advantage could possibly complicate matters. Allow me to expand and further my point of view. Since spiral ham is already cooked, reheating it can, and often does, dry it out. Believe it or not, but the thickness of the

meat affects the flavor. The thinner the slice, the less seasoning it will retain and adjustments are necessary. If you think the packet of glaze is sufficient, think again. The thick, sweet sauce does not enhance the natural flavor of the ham. The bottom line is, it overpowers the meat. My advice is to discard the packet of glaze and start from scratch. The shank-end hams come from the bottom of the leg nearest to the hoof. The butt-end hams come from the top of the leg nearest to the hips. You can recognize a shank-end ham by its tapered top whereas a butt-end ham has a rounded top. Shank-end hams are the preferred choice because the bone is straight, which makes it easier to carve and there is less gristle and fat. To minimize the likelihood of the drying out process, cook the ham in the oven as little as possible. Most chefs place the

ham directly on a roasting pan, but enclosing it in an oven bag almost guarantees a moist, tender ham. Depending on the size of the ham, bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 100 degrees. While the ham is in the oven, the next step is to prepare the glaze. It should be applied to the ham during the last 20 minutes of cooking. The temperature of the oven needs to be increased considerably to help the caramelization process. A thick, second coating of brown sugar helps secures the glaze and produces a crackly crust that parlays nicely with the tender meat. A few pointers on slicing the ham follow. For those who adore bone marrow, do not discard the bone without delving into the fatty tissue that is considered a delicacy. Place the ham on its side and cut

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Carefully cut ham to ensure best taste and little waste around the bone to free the attached slices. Using a carving knife, slice horizontally above the bone to remove the entire section. Turn the ham to cut side down and slice. Remove the bone from the other section of the ham and again slice it. Carefully cut in between the slices to separate them. Serve immediately. Ham is an American favorite, but the simple tradition has many obstacles to become the state of perfection. Remember the philosophy of simplicity incorporates many stages of complexity. Spiral Ham 1 (7-10 lbs.) spiral-sliced bone-in ham 1 (12 ounce) jar apple jelly 1/8 cup honey 1/8 cup maple syrup 1 cup packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon each ground cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg, allspice, thyme and garlic powder 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1. Remove ham from packaging and discard plastic disk covering the bone. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Place ham in oven bag and transfer to a large roasting pan. Ham should be at room temperature before going into the oven. 2. Adjust oven racks to the lowest position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Bake ham for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 100 degrees. 3. In the meantime, bring all of the ingredients except for 1/2 cup of brown sugar and butter to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is very thick and reduced to 1/3 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in butter. 4. Remove ham from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Cut open the oven bag and brush on glaze. Carefully press the remaining brown sugar on the exterior of the ham. Depending on the size of the ham, you may have to add a little more brown sugar. Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove ham from oven and allow to rest for 13 minutes. Carve and serve. Secret Ingredient: Ordinariness. “Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well” … Jim Rohn.

The show will feature a live country/bluegrass band as well as several talented vocalists and comedians. According to the show’s producer, Ronnie Swaim, the production is certain to bring back memories of the good old days when Roy Acuff and Bashful Brother Oswald with his dobro would walk out on the Opry stage and bring everything to life with “The Great Speckled Bird.” He insists the show will include something for everyone from country artists like Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Jerry

registered. Paddling stations include Seacrets, Fager’s Island, Finnigan’s at the Princess Bayside, 45th Street Taphouse and a committee boat stationed between the venues. Light fare munchies and happy hour prices will be available at each venue. The poker run will consist of teams of four per hand. Either form a team or come solo and MCBP will partner you. Entry fee is $50 per person or $200 for a team. Entry fee is $45 for those who would prefer to use their own non-motorized boat — kayak, canoe or paddleboard. The winning hand will be determined by standard poker hand rankings. Five cards will be used to build the winning hand. Participants will be passed a card at each checkpoint in which organizers will record the card to ensure that there are no disputes about what card a participating team actually has. Event is open to anyone 21 years of age or older. There will be trophies for the best poker hand as well as prizes for the most creative team. A Wilderness Systems kayak, Pungo 120, will be raffled off at the end of the event. Raffle tickets may be purchased online at www.mdcoastalbays.org. Registration must be made in advance online at www.mdcoastalbays.org or by calling Sandi at 410-213-2297, Ext 107.

donations, and every single event was up from the previous year.” For 2012, all of the event chairs are working together to make the Pink Ribbon Classic Series run smoothly. The 2012 Classic kicked off Aug. 16, with the 19th annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open, a three-day, ladies-only fishing tournament. The tournament garnered $62,500 for the American Cancer Society. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past five years is $312,000. Since the Open’s inception 19 years ago, the American Cancer Society has received $560,000. Although the Open takes place in August, the other Pink Ribbon Classic events are spread out between September and October, known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. An event will also take place in November this year. The 2012 events include a tennis tour-

nament, card and game party, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K run/walk, Mah Jongg tournament, golf championship, Jammin’ Out Cancer and “Pamper Yourself for Charity” raffle. “There’s something for everybody. That’s what makes the Pink Ribbon Classic unique,” said Beverly Furst, chairwoman of the Oct. 20 Ocean City Making Strides Against Breast Cancer run/walk on the Boardwalk. “The Pink Ribbon Classic has been around for a long time and that shows how much people enjoy it. People look forward to the events.” While some money will be earmarked for national breast cancer research, the remainder will stay on the Eastern Shore, where it will be used for education projects, patient programs and services. For information about the Pink Ribbon Classic, visit www.facebook.com/pinkribbonclassic. To learn more about the American Cancer Society, visit www.cancer.org, call 1-800-ACS-2345.
