Joaquin may call, be ready Forecast models vary, but some have it heading toward Mid-Atlantic coast Staff report (Oct. 2, 2015) With the possibility of Hurricane Joaquin making landfall somewhere along the Mid-Atlantic coast in the coming days, the only certainties are the resort’s reactions and the best means of keeping abreast of emergency information. Ocean City Emergency Services, along with regional and national agencies, are monitoring the projected path of the storm, See ASSATEAGUE Page 3

BAD MOON RISING
This composite photo of different stages of the lunar eclipse last Sunday captures what many people took the time to witness, as skies that had been overcast for much of the day opened up to present a clear view of a rare total eclipse of a “super” full moon. A super moon is when the moon’s orbit brings it closest to the earth – about 13,000 miles closer than its average – making it appear larger. The next full eclipse of a super moon will not occur until 18 years from now on Oct. 8, 2033.
H2O dampened by too much H2O Heavy weekend rain could drown out all city’s fears of car event’s hangers-on By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) The approach of Hurricane Joaquin has already dampened — pun intended — some resort festivities for this weekend. Just not the ones the city was hoping for. Although the inlet wine festival and the offshore powerboat races for this weekend have been postponed, the H2O International VW/Audi show is still scheduled as planned. “H2Oi is rain or shine,” said pro-
moter Jay Shoup. Efforts to mitigate muddiness at the show’s site at Fort Whaley are underway. However, as is often the case with automotive events, Shoup’s show itself is less of a concern to local officials compared to the impact from the large number of spectators and hangers-on that flock to the area during the event, regardless of attendance at Fort Whaley. Standing water on Coastal Highway could keep low-slung cars parked — but at the same time, it will also cause problems if attendees still attempt to cruise the road. “It could definitely cause traffic issues with for the cars with low sus-
pensions and cambered tires, and especially given some of the aggressive driving that we often see during this event,” said Ocean City Police Department Public Information Specialist Lindsay Richard. The days leading up to and during H2Oi show unusually high numbers for calls to the OCPD. Nuisance and petty crime reports rise to typical June weekend levels, and traffic accidents spike — 43 major collisions from Thursday through Sunday of H2Oi in 2014. This year’s OC BikeFest, by comparison, saw only 10 such collisions over the same four days. In reaction, the OCPD was expectSee VW Page 5

Fmr. city manager involved in another vehicular incident
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher (Oct. 2 2015) David Recor, the former city manager of Ocean City who lost his job after a car accident on Route 50 in July, has had another vehicular mishap, this time striking a pedestrian in the crosswalk at South Division Street and Baltimore Avenue. According to the accident report filed by Ocean City police, Recor, 48, was driving north on Baltimore Avenue late Saturday afternoon with the intention of turning right onto South Division. His turn was blocked, however, by a car that was idling on South Division just up from the intersection, as the driver waited for a parking space to open. Recor told accident investigators he didn’t want to block traffic on Baltimore, so he elected to swing out, drive around the standing car, and go between it and the row of parked vehicles lining the left side of the street. But as he began to make the wide turn, he ran into Donna Burton, 56, of Greenbelt, Md., who was walking across South Division Street in the crosswalk. Recor said he never saw Burton, who suffered bruises and a sprain to lower left leg and was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where she was treated and released. Recor was issued a traffic citation for failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. His traffic accident earlier in the summer also was minor, although the fallout from it was more severe. On the morning of Friday, July 10, Recor was headed west on Route 50 to get an espresso at Wawa, when he veered to the left of the road and struck a signpost in the median with his city-owned black Chevy Tahoe. An Ocean City Police Department officer witnessed the accident and notified the Maryland State Police, who investigated the incident. Recor was charged with negligent driving in that case, but the events prompted Ocean City’s elected officials to consider Recor’s job performance overall. That led to a July 20 closed meeting between the City Council and Recor that ended with his resignation.

Assateague to close for Joaquin Continued from Page 1 which at mid-week entailed numerous possible paths, including one that took it out to sea and another that projected a course up the Chesapeake Bay. The latest information at press time, however, suggests Ocean City will begin feeling the effects of Joaquin beginning Friday. Both high winds and large amounts of rain are likely, even before the storm’s arrival. With heavy rains comes flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Ocean City staff began preparing for the impending storm on Wednesday. In addition, many outdoor events for the weekend have been canceled or postponed in ad-
vance of the weather, including Wine on the Beach and the OPA National Championship Power Boat Races. Assateague Island announced a systematic shutdown during the next few days, including closing all national seashore camps today at noon, the Visitor’s Center on Sunday, and an island-wide closure is expected Sunday at noon. The Town of Ocean City will be posting storm-related information on various websites, social media outlets and through the Emergency Alert system, including: • Citywide emergency alerts: Visit: http://oceancitymd.gov/enews, hover the pointer over “I want to”

VW show still on, but city may pull add’l cops Continued from Page 1 ing to bring in dozens of additional officers from outside agencies this week. “We’re taking it day-by-day and changing plans as needed,” Richard said. “We’re in constant contact with the Maryland State Police, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, and other allied agencies. We’re still expecting additional personnel, but that may change.” The rain may also mean a boon, or a bust, for the Maryland Association
of Realtors, whose annual trade expo is scheduled to take place at the municipal convention center on 40th Street from Oct. 3-6. “At this point, it’s too early for us to make a decision about postponing the conference,” Melissa Lutz of the MAR said Wednesday evening. The city had been planning to erect a wall of public transit buses in the convention center parking lot on Thursday afternoon (after press time for this edition) in order to prevent H2Oi vehicles from congregating in
Seven rescues required day after OCBP off duty for ‘15
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Despite signs and warnings on social media, websites, the Boardwalk, television and in newspapers about the dangers of rip currents and how beachgoers must exercise caution on unguarded beaches, Ocean City emergency responders rescued seven people from rip currents on Monday. Six people, including two children, were pulled from the waves around 4:15 p.m. Monday, with one being airlifted to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, according to Ocean City government spokeswoman Jessica Waters. She said the victim, whose name cannot be released because of health information privacy laws, was in stable condition. The others in this incident were treated and released from Atlantic General Hospital. According to statements from witnesses, the two children became caught in a rip current in the 33rd Street area and four adults, apparently all family members, rushed into the
waves to save them. According to Waters the adults were aged 69, 40 and 57 and from Lancaster, Pa., York Pa., and Toano, Va. respectively. The fourth unidentified adult, Waters said, was taken by Ocean Pines Fire Department, so no additional information was available. “Those parents have got to be thankful they’re not mourning a child,” Butch Arbin, captain of the Beach Patrol, said. “It wouldn’t have surprised me if I’d been called asking about a drowning.” Arbin said he recalled three years in a row when parents have drowned attempting to rescue their children from rip currents. One of those years, he said, both a father and daughter died. “They’re so fortunate [first responders] got there and made rescues. The mechanics were all in place for a rip current drowning,” Arbin said. Arbin said he’s heard reports that Monday’s rip currents were the strongest in recent memory. Minutes after this rescue, another was reported in the area of the 16th See RIP Page 6
the area of the lot nearest Coastal Highway, where burnouts and dangerous stunts were being performed last year. The bus barricade would allow Realtors to use the parking area closest to the convention center, but would deter illicit use by tuner cars. “We’re aware of the event [H2Oi], but the convention center has assured us that we’ll still have sufficient access for ourselves,” Lutz said. Conditions at the Fort Whaley event may have little impact on traffic in the resort, as it seems a fair number of car enthusiasts don’t actually attend Shoup’s show, which features a fairly modest 600 to 700 Volkswagens and Audis on display, and roughly 15,000 people going through the vendor booth and display area, according to Shoup.
Several times that volume, however, hang out in Ocean City, primarily to be seen by their peers and, unfortunately, party a bit too hard. Conditions in some parking lots where cars had congregated reached near-riot levels last year. Many of the cars are not VW or Audi makes, but other import vehicles modified in similarly popular manners. “It seems like the H2Oi crowd is still coming,” said Susan Jones of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “Most of our members have seen a lot of cancellations, but those seem to be mostly Wine at the Beach attendees or the powerboat folks. Our smaller hotels and motels who take reservations themselves can usually tell over the phone exactly what event people are looking for.”

Ramadan convicted in cig smuggling scheme Brooklyn judge finds West OC man guilty in crime ring selling untaxed NY smokes
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Basel Ramadan, the resort-area businessman and subject of high-profile police raids by New York authorities in 2013, was found guilty this week on 198 separate charges relating to his alleged operation of a multistate cigarette smuggling scheme. Ramadan was found guilty following a bench trial in Kings County Supreme Court, presided by Justice Dineen Riviezzo. He faced an extensive list of charges including enterprise fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion brought against him by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Ramadan is facing between eightand-one-third and 25 years in prison, according to Schneiderman. “This individual led a criminal enterprise that stretched from Maryland to New York, flooded our state with millions of cheap cigarettes, and cheated New Yorkers out of tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue,” Schneiderman said in a release. “Not only did this enterprise put lawabiding businesses in New York at a competitive disadvantage, but it increased the possibility of violence that comes with any type of smuggling operation. I’m deeply gratified that justice has been served.” New York authorities accused Ramada of running a scheme that, in short, took advantage of the varying tax rates on cigarettes along the eastern seaboard. According to the indictment, Ra-
National
Month
madan and his associates, who lived in West Ocean City, would buy cigarettes from a Virginia wholesaler and store them in various locations in Delaware, as close by as Dagsboro. A transporter would then take the cigarettes from Delaware to New York, where fraudulent tax stamps would be affixed to the packs to make it appear as if they were purchased for sale in New York. The improperly taxed cigarettes would then be resold to retail markets around the New York City metro area. Cigarettes transferred for sale in Virginia are taxed only 30 cents per pack. New York’s state cigarette tax is $4.35 per pack, plus an additional excise of $1.50 for cigarettes sold in New York City. Schneiderman’s office alleges that Ramadan’s group generated over $55 million in cigarette revenue, of which $10 million was profit created by the

tax discrepancy. In May of 2013, authorities conducted highly visible raids on Ramadan’s home in the Oyster Harbor area of West Ocean City, as well as his offices above the Subway on 27th Street in Ocean City. Over $1.4 million in cash was recovered from the home, along with three handguns. Another $200,000 was taken from Ramadan’s distributors, as well as 20,000 cartons of cigarettes and 65,000 forged tax stamps. Ramadan and his brother, Samer, were charged alongside 14 other men from New Jersey and New York City. Samer Ramadan pled guilty in exchange for a maximum sentence of six years. In October of 2013, officials lodged additional charges against Basel Ramadan and Youssef Odeh, one of other alleged distributors. While in jail awaiting trial, Schneiderman claimed, investigators had intercepted a plot by Ramadan and Odeh to kill a witness. Ramadan was ultimately found not guilty, but Odeh pled guilty to seconddegree conspiracy to commit murder in June of 2014. The cigarette conspirators were never definitely proven to have had direct connections with terrorism, although New York officials frequently alluded that this was the case. “While it hasn’t been established yet where the illicit proceeds ended up, we’re concerned because similar schemes have been used in the past to help fund terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah,” Ray Kelly, who was then a New York City Police Commissioner, said following the arrests. A joint investigation with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security alleged that Odeh had been involved with Omar Abdel-Rahman, the so-called “Blind Sheik” currently serving a life sentence for involvement in conspiracies to blow up several New York City landmarks. Abdel-Rahman was incarcerated in 1996, following investigations into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Officials also claimed that another cigarette reseller, Muaffaq Askar, had ties to Rashid Baz. Baz was convicted of a 1994 attack in which he fired a handgun at a van full of Orthodox Jewish students on the Brooklyn Bridge, killing one.
Rip currents early in week strongest in recent memory Continued from Page 5 Street beach. This time the victim was an adult male, who was not treated for any injuries, Waters said. No other information about this individual has been released. “I don’t know what else can be done. Some pay beaches simply lock the gates, but with 10 miles of shoreline in Ocean City that’s just not feasible. Unless we lock it down, there’s no way to keep them out,” Arbin said.

Army Corps to pursue new hydrodynamic study of inlet Removed material almost doubles 1999-2011 total in past three years alone
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Deciding against using the results of a 17-year old report, which couldn’t include data for events such as Superstorm Sandy, the Army Corps of Engineers has decided to pursue a new hydrodynamic study of the Ocean City inlet to determine the cause of its constant shoaling. Earlier this week, the Corps delivered a response to a July letter of intent from state officials, Delegate Mary Beth Carozza and state Sen. Jim Mathias, the Worcester County Commissioners and the Town of Ocean City endorsing action. First, the Corps acknowledged the scope of the issue. “From 1999-2011, the Corps dredged the inlet, harbor, Isle of Wight Bay and Sinepuxent Bay 24 times for a total of 372,167 cubic yards of material,” the decision letter signed by Col. Edward Chamberlayne of the Corps, read. “In comparison, from 2012 to present, the same federal channels have been dredged 11 times for a total
of 676,578 cubic yards of material. We know a more comprehensive, long-term solution to the problem is needed,” Chamberlayne wrote. Chamberlayne acknowledged the need for continual dredging while the study is completed as long as Congress continues to provide the federal funding. In the meantime, the Corps is pursuing a report to allow the study of the hydrodynamics of the area and how they contribute to the shoaling. If Congress approves the report, federal tax dollars pay for it. “Hydrodynamic models are an efficient, comprehensive approach to representing coastal water dynamics. These numerical models can be used to simulate currents, water levels, sediment transport and salinity,” Chris Gardner, Corps spokesman said. This report would then be submitted to Corps headquarters for approval by the end of the calendar year. If such approval were granted, according to the letter, the Corps’ Baltimore District would then develop a project management plan once a non-federal sponsor is identified. Three non-federal sponsors, the state by means of Del. Carozza and See SHOALING Page 8

Shoaling report due by end of year, still needs fed. OK Continued from Page 7 Sen. Mathias, the county and the Town of Ocean City, have already identified themselves in signing on to the earlier letter of intent, Carozza said. This is also where local money begins to figure into the picture. “Regarding the cost-share for implementation,� Gardner said, “should there be a recommendation from the [hydrodynamic] study, it would be 65 percent federal and 35 percent local.� It has not yet been determined if the local share could be achieved through in-kind donations, such as providing a site to dispose of dredged material. Carozza said the Corps’ letter, by acknowledging these issues, commits them to certain things. “They’re on record as recognizing the urgent need. We have them committed to the long-term while still in the short-term,� she said. “My follow-up is to touch base with everyone, starting with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources,� she said. Presupposing the outcomes are all favorable and this course of action is followed, a single recommendation from the 1998 report may be imple-

A dredge contracted to the Army Corp of Engineers makes its way out the inlet after completing a maintenence dredging operation last year.
mented: The inlet could be dredged to a depth of 16 feet and the harbor could be dredged to 14 feet, according to the letter. However, Chamberlayne warned, these actions would constitute separate actions and would need their own processes. Currently, the inlet is approved for a total depth of 12 feet, but is often much shallower than that, forcing vessels to either wait for the tide or risk entry and potentially damaging
their boats. Damaged boats have led to at least one commercial fleet, operated by Joe Letts, uprooting and moving their operations from Ocean City to New Jersey, and delays are commonplace. During the April meeting organized by Carozza and held at the Marlin Club, the issue was described by Merrill Campbell, the manager of the Ocean City dock for Southern Con-

Spraypaint spree vandals get more time to pay piper Bonser, Denton attorneys successfully argue 90-day deadline too restrictive
By Josh Davis & Brian Gilliland Staff Writers (Oct. 2, 2015) Jordan Denton and Nicholas Bonser, who were given 90 days to pay restitution for their Jan. 25 spray-painting vandalism spree, now have more time to make financial amends. According to court documents, District Court Judge Gerald Purnell has granted the two 18-year-old Berlin residents until the end of their two-year probation to pay make good on the court order. Under the terms of their plea bargain, Denton and Nicholas Bonser, who were sentenced on June 19, had 90 days to pay $8,843.06 in restitution, to complete 150 hours of community service each, and to write letters of apologies to the town of Berlin for spray-painting graffiti on cars and buildings. Those 90 days expired Sept. 19. Court documents did not mention if any restitution had been paid, community service had been completed or letters had been received. Town of Berlin officials also reported that they hadn’t seen an apology letter from either Bonser or Denton. “Because the defendant has only been on probation for 90 days, she has been unable to complete all terms as of the date of filing,” Denton’s attorney, Amanda Nyman, wrote. The document was dated Sept. 23. Bonser’s attorney, C. Gregory Colburn, made a similar argument, offering that the number of hours and the amount of restitution were so large it would be impossible to complete. Assistant State’s Attorney William McDermott, the prosecutor in the case, said at the time of the decision that the 450 total hours of community service and the amount of restitution required within 90 days was virtually impossible, and that three-to-five years of supervised probation would likely be imposed on each defendant in addition to the court’s original ruling “For all that has to be forthcoming in 90 days, I can tell you that it won’t happen,” he said in an earlier interview. “It’s going to take years for them to do that.” “The two of them, at 18 years old, just walked out with 22 convictions,” McDermott continued on the day of the trial. “It’s pretty awful when you’re that young to walk out with that many convictions and a $9,000 tag and 450 hours of community service. What they did was awful [and] the price they’re going to pay is pretty close to what happened.” McDermott said he previously told several of the victims that the likelihood of incarceration was low based on the ages and prior records of the defendants.

Jury finds against city in police misconduct suit Plaintiff awarded $45K, legal fees in case stemming from 2012 incident near Seacrets
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) A man who sued an Ocean City police officer for alleged misconduct was awarded $45,000 compensation last Thursday, following a lengthy legal process and federal jury hearing stemming from an August 2012 incident. The suit by Branden Thomas, of Severn, MD, was introduced to U.S. District Court in March of 2013, several months after the disputed altercation that took place outside Seacrets. Thomas’ attorneys filed for federal relief on the grounds that Thomas had suffered violations of the Fourth (search and seizure, probable cause) and Fourteenth (due process and equal protection) Amendments. Thomas was awarded $1,500 for past medical expenses relating to injuries suffered during the incident, $25,000 for lost wages as a result of the incident compromising his employment, and $18,500 for personal distress. Thomas may also file for restitution of attorneys’ fees, with a motion to extend the filing time having
been granted on Monday, according to federal dockets. “If you prevail in a civil case, you are entitled to seek compensation for fees,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “They will have the opportunity to file a compensation request, and we will review it and likely make a counter-offer.” Thomas’ suit stems from an incident that occurred at 1:30 a.m. on August 16, 2012, on the sidewalk outside Seacrets. According to the initial filing from Thomas’ attorneys, Thomas and three friends were leaving Seacrets when they passed the scene of an arrest, where officers had broken up a fight between a man and a woman. When passing the scene, according to the filing, Thomas “expressed verbal disdain” for the male suspect, who had allegedly struck the female, giving her a bloody nose. Approximately 100 feet after passing the scene, Thomas was approached by Ocean City Police Department Officer Ryan Flanagan, who allegedly told him to “shut up or be arrested,” according to Thomas’ claim. Thomas then claimed he asked Flanagan “arrested for what?” and continued with his companions back toward their hotel. Shortly thereafter, Thomas claimed he
Resort Real Estate, Inc. Resort Rentals, LLC
heard Flanagan yell at him to stop. Before he could turn around to respond, Thomas alleges, Flanagan struck him in the back of the head, pushed him to the ground, and then punched him several additional times before handcuffing and arresting him. Thomas was ultimately charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering justice, and disobeying a lawful order of a police officer. Prosecution, however, was not pursued. Flanagan’s account of the incident differs considerably. In the statement of charges for Thomas’ arrest, Flanagan recounts that Thomas swore and heckled the man being arrested, despite requests from officers to be quiet. This caused a verbal altercation between Thomas and the assault suspect. Thomas then began walking away, Flanagan wrote, but soon after began yelling again, leaving Flanagan no choice but to “stop my investigation and address Thomas, who was about 100 feet away.” Thomas then began yelling obscenities at Flanagan, according to the officer’s statement. Flanagan advised Thomas multiple times that he would have to leave or be arrested, but he continued to act out. Flanagan did not provide details of the physical apprehension, writing only “after a short struggle, I placed Thomas under arrest.” Thomas later claimed that he
briefly lost consciousness, and had to undergo a CT scan at the hospital following the incident. Thomas’ attorneys described Flanagan’s account as a “contrived and disingenuous characterization of the facts to support these charges and in [sic] an attempt to obfuscate his own misconduct.” Thomas also claimed the arrest prevented him from gaining the security clearance needed for a job as a security guard in Washington, D.C. In its findings, the federal jury affirmed all of Thomas’ claims against Flanagan, including false arrest, excessive force, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Determinations in civil suits, Ayres noted, are less stringent than in criminal cases. “It’s a determination of the ‘preponderance of evidence,’ as opposed to ‘beyond a reasonable doubt,’” Ayres said. Although this is the most highprofile case in recent years, the city routinely defends employees who are sued for damages they may have incurred on the job. “Under state law, the jurisdiction has to defend and indemnify its municipal employees for torts or wrongs that they allegedly committed during their course of their duties of employment,” Ayres said. “We also have it in our city code, and it’s in the collective bargaining agreement with the police union.”

Gov. Hogan announces tax overpayment refund rules Supreme Court decision nixed state’s ‘piggyback’ structure, $200M in play
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Worcester County residents who earned money in Delaware and paid taxes on it there and in Maryland can now begin process of getting some of that tax money back. Earlier this week Gov. Larry Hogan unveiled the process that will allow residents of the state between the years 2011-2014 who paid income taxes to another state to apply for a refund. Information is gathered on a new site, www.wynnetaxrefund.maryland.gov, which explains the application process and refers visitors to a specific page on the Maryland Comptroller’s site where the necessary refund form is available. This process is the result of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in May that found the Maryland tax structure unconstitutional as it relates to residents who earn income outside of Maryland but who pay taxes to that state as well as to their home counties via the piggyback tax. The state tax itself is not an
issue. A Howard County couple, Brian and Karen Wynne, who earn money from a multi-state corporation sued for a credit on their piggyback tax and prevailed in the Maryland Court of Appeals and again in the Supreme Court. “For years I have said that Maryland citizens were being overtaxed and overcharged, and now an estimated 55,000 taxpayers are eligible for substantial income tax refunds,” Hogan said in a release. “The Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year allows us to provide another $200 million in tax relief, which will immediately go back into the pockets of Maryland taxpayers, and back into our state economy.” As for what it will cost the government of Worcester County, which has any number of people paying taxes here and in Delaware, an earlier statement by County Treasurer Phil Thompson estimated the cost would be between $200,000-$250,000 in potential tax refunds. “The county has taken the first step in FY16 with the adjustment to the income tax revenue line item by $300,000, which is based on the state’s most recent estimates provided. We will continue to monitor the compSee COUNTY Page 14
Movie beers next year? Fox Theatres wants to offer alcoholic drinks, but may need Gen. Assembly OK
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) If the beer and wine license request can’t fit the code, perhaps the code can be adjusted to fit the request. Back in June, family-owned movie theater chain Fox Theatres requested a hearing before the Board of License Commissioners — the county board responsible for issuing and enforcing liquor licenses and their orbiting legislation — seeking a Class B license for the uptown location. Presumably, this is part of the recent $1.5 million rehabilitation project for the theater, which included a number of amenities such as reclining seats and retractable armrests. The problem is a Class B license doesn’t really cover movie theaters — it’s usually used for restaurants. Maryland license code’s rule 11 requires Class B license holders to “have available from the regular menu, hot meals between the hours of 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. provided the premises are open to the public.” A Class B license could allow
sales of beer and wine both as an on-site purchase and for takeaway. Local Attorney Joe Moore, who has been retained by Fox Theatres as representation in dealing with the Board of License Commissioners, said in a previous interview that the movie house might also pursue a Class D designation, but that classification is also not without problems. “In a Class D you can’t have minors — it’s basically for a nightclub,” Moore said in a prior interview. Indeed, Class D licenses require many things not commonly associated with movie theaters like “adequate facilities for the preparation and serving of mixed alcoholic drinks,” the regulations require. Moore said he needed to have these issues resolved before making his presentation to the board, which, he now admits, will take until next year. “Because the season is now over, it’s not as high a priority as it once was,” Moore said. “At this point we’re not moving forward.” The effort isn’t dead, Moore clarified, but is just on hold until business picks back up next year. Moore said he may end up petitioning the state legislature for a new classification of liquor license See THEATER Page 14

County could lose $200K to refunds Continued from Page 12 troller processing of the refunds for future income tax estimates,” Thompson said. The Maryland Association of Counties Conduit Street blog ran a piece by Andrea Mansfield, legislative director of MACo. “The Supreme Court decision will have severe fiscal consequences for local governments. Recent estimates indicate that up to $200 million in tax refunds could be likely, and the ongoing effect could be $40-50 million per year,” she wrote. “To lessen the immediate fiscal
blow and specify how the credit would be applied, the General Assembly adopted … the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2015 (BRFA). The language specifies that the credit would be applied first to the state income tax and any remaining credit to the local income tax, consistent with the first set of refund estimates received from the Comptroller’s Office.” Mansfield went on to explain how the refunding process would work from the government’s side. “The refunds would be paid from the Local Income Tax Reserve Account (which protects the state’s general
fund) with counties and municipalities reimbursing the account from quarterly income tax distributions in nine equal installments,” she wrote. “The reimbursements would not begin before June 2016. One reimbursement would occur in FY 2016, with four reimbursements in each of the next two fiscal years, FY 2017 and FY 2018.” Worcester County’s piggyback tax rate at the time of the decision was 1.25 percent, but has been raised by the county commissioners to 1.75 percent this year, which is still the lowest in the state, according to the Comptroller’s office.

Theater chain to bring liquor license request to state Continued from Page 12 to allow businesses like movie theaters to serve alcohol — one that would take in account the differences between running a bar, restaurant or nightclub and a movie theater — if he can’t tailor Fox’s request to meet existing law. Tom Coates, the board attorney for the county in these matters, confirmed the procedure Moore would have to follow in order to amend the current code to include businesses like movie theaters, and also said he has not had a conversation with Moore on the topic for a couple of months now. While the license, if granted, would be the first in Ocean City, it would not be breaking new ground nationally or even within the state of Maryland. There are a number of movie theaters on the western shore that offer the opportunity to make such purchases, as well as in Virginia and Delaware. Another of the Fox movie theater chain’s locations, Fox Berkshire in Wyomissing, Pa., began selling alcohol earlier this year according to published reports. Beer and wine sales are conducted at dedicated registers at the concession stand in that location. Other movie theaters in the region, which offer alcohol sales do so with widely varying slates of amenities. Some offer iPads to VIP customers for in-show ordering of food or beverages, while others employ “ninjas” — or, employees dressed in black outfits as to not disturb other patrons, to provide wait service. Some offer light appetizers and finger food, while others offer full meals. Some chains dedicate certain theaters to alcohol-consuming guests only. “My presentation must fit the circumstances. I have to sit down with [Board Attorney] Tom Coates and work it out,” he said.

Dept. of Liquor Control finances holding on Cowger reports stabilizing profits, turning critics into customers ahead of review By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Liquor Control Director Bobby Cowger is the first to admit he can see the chopping block. Last December, the Worcester County Commissioners granted Cowger’s Department of Liquor Control (DLC) a stay of execution for one year, and with the fourth quarter about to begin on Oct. 1, and with the commissioners’ axes freshly sharpened from the dissolution of the Shoreline Commission last week, he’s making certain the depart- Bobby Cowger ment puts its best foot forward. “I know I’m up against the gun. There are those who want to drive the DLC out of business, which will put 20-plus people, including me, out of jobs,” he said. The department has had a tough row to hoe — a July 2014 law change eliminated what had been a countywide monopoly on liquor sales — and it’s been up to Cowger to demonstrate the department is still viable in the face of more competition. The competition, which consists of two other wholesale suppliers, each stocking different brands, has taken a chunk from the department’s bottom line. However, Cowger said, the losses have stabilized and the changes he’s made will enable the department to show a profit this year. While the final numbers will be included with the actuarial study due in the next couple of weeks, Cowger said he’s been able to maintain 53 percent of his previous market share during 2015. Retail sales have suffered somewhat and Cowger said he’s been able to maintain 91 percent of his previous market share.
For evidence, he shows a two-inch thick stack of invoices from Bike Week, with amounts due ranging from the hundreds to the thousands of dollars. “We reacted as fast as we could to the drop in revenue. There is a night and day difference from last year. There is no doubt in my mind when December comes and the evaluation comes, we are 100 percent going to be profitable. We’re a profitable business,” he said. Profit and employees aside, the department owns buildings in Snow Hill and Pocomoke, leases others and keeps significant inventory and other supplies on hand. Even if the department is not profitable, closing it will carry a cost. Cowger estimated that number would be in $2.5 million range. In an earlier interview he said the cost could reach $3 million. “If we lost $100,000 per year, we could run for 25 years before we reached the breakeven,” he said. Cowger said the department also has a reserve fund that’s been accumulating since the 1970s. He said he didn’t know the exact value of the fund now, but estimated it at about $400,000. Under the current system, liquor license holders aren’t forced to purchase from the county if they don’t choose to, which was one of the

City anticipates bond, capital lease financing Interest rates still favorable for $18M in water, sewer infrastructure improvements
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) With end-of-theyear investment offerings approaching, the Town of Ocean City will likely be issuing bonds as well as a capital lease agreement to finance ongoing infrastructure improvements. The City Council is slated to give final approval next week to an ordinance authorizing $18 million in borrowing to fund several years’ worth of capital improvements to the resort’s water and wastewater systems. While this may sound like a hefty sum, it should not, according to projections, have any impact on the city’s tax burden or other unrestricted revenue needs. Repayment of the bonds will be done entirely with money generated from user fees within the water and wastewater departments, which are run as separate enterprises from the city’s general fund. “All the debt payments will be from the water and wastewater funds, which will continue to be user-supported,” city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett said during a recent council meeting. “The fee study takes into account the assumptions that

Most lenders are currently giving low interest rates only to short-term of-

However, the city will need to come up with the funds to buy the replacement infrastructure – items such as the cooling towers at the 65th Street Public Safety Building, for instance – which are over 20 years old and at imminent risk of failure. Under a capital lease offering, the city would solicit bids from an outside investor to buy the physical equipment needed to do all the upgrades identified by ESG. The city would then buy back the infrastructure from the investor over a period of time. Money saved on energy costs, plus rebates from Delmarva Power, should cover the lease payments making the improvements budgetneutral. “For it to be completely revenueneutral, we’re looking at a 17- or 18year term,” City Engineer Terry McGean said. “At that point, it’s completely cost-neutral, including the financing.” Interest rates for an 18-year lease are currently around 3.25 percent, Ketterman said.
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Although the real meat of the process is still months away, the city is gearing up for negotiations with its firefighters’ union over the coming winter. The town’s current contract with the local chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters, approved in April of 2013, was good for three years. A new collective bargaining agreement will need to be hammered out in advance of the city’s spring budget process, with fiscal year 2017 beginning June 1, 2016. The city council met behind closed doors this week with attorneys from
Miles & Stockbridge, the town’s labor counsel. “Per the city’s charter, labor contracts are to be done by March 1,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “So we put together some dates that we’ve submitted to the IAFF for January and March.” IAFF Local 4269 represents all non-management level firefighters, paramedics, and fire marshals in the Ocean City Fire Department. The OCFD is a mixed organization, with volunteers from the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company working on trucks and ambulances alongside full-time union personnel. See LAST Page 20

Elderly, those with chronic illness encouraged to sign up for annual vaccination (Oct. 2, 2015) Frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with those who are sick certainly helps, but according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to prevent the flu is getting a flu vaccine each year. As a service to the community’s health, Atlantic General Hospital/Health System is again providing community flu shot clinics. Individuals must be at least 13 years old to receive the vaccine at one of the clinics. To avoid long lines, however, community members are encouraged to contact their doctor’s office to receive their vaccine. Flu vaccine is considered preventative care and is covered at 100 percent by most insurances. Atlantic General Health System (AGHS) has its supply of flu vaccine; patients of AGHS physicians can call to schedule their flu shots or inquire about available walk-in times. Community members can also receive flu shots at Townsend Medical Center on 10th Street in Ocean City, no appointment necessary. This year the hospital and health system has scheduled clinics as follows: Saturday, Oct. 3, 8 a.m. to noon Community Health Fair – Ocean Pines Community Center, 235 Ocean Parkway, Ocean Pines, Md. Tuesday, Oct. 6, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Taylor Bank (Snow Hill Branch),

Influenza and complications resulting from the virus kill an estimated 20,000 people each year, according to the CDC. Although rates of influenza vaccinations have increased in recent years, health surveys indicate that less than half of the high-risk population receives a yearly vaccine. Influenza, or flu, is a highly contagious virus spread by inhaling droplets from an infected individual’s cough or sneeze. Most symptoms emerge within 24 to 48 hours and are characterized by fever, chills, sore throat, cough and headache. See INFLUENZA Page 21

Continued from Page 18 “Basically, all we have done at this point is to send a formal letter to the town requesting to sit down at the bargaining table,” said IAFF 4269 President Ryan Whittington. Typical matters of bargaining interest include pay and benefits, as well as scheduling and organization matters with the OCFD’s ranks. The 2013 contract saw IAFF members receive four incremental raises over three years, per the established tenure-based step scale. The net fiscal impact was $479,134 in wages, versus a scenario in which pay stayed flat for three years. The contract also eliminated the position of second lieutenant, rolling that rank into the rank of full lieutenant and creating a new pay scale that was the average of the two.
The agreement also saw the city exert some new management flexibility over IAFF staff, with new union hires able to be scheduled to any combination of shifts, as long as their total hours over a four-week period remained the same. Under the previous agreement, still applicable to older IAFF employees, shifts must be scheduled on a 24 hours on-duty, 72 hours off-duty cycle. The contract also codified a more advantageous scheduling system for the city, requiring that vacant shifts be filled first with part-time personnel who will not incur overtime, followed by full-time personnel who are on an off-week with fewer shifts. This allows the city to utilize lower-earning personnel first, instead of running up overtime with higher-earning union members.

Influenza still kills 20K people each year, CDC indicates Continued from Page 20 Just one infected person can unknowingly pass on the flu to family members and loved ones because the virus can be transmitted 24 hours before symptoms appear. CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get a seasonal flu vaccine. Those at an increased risk for influenza related complications: •persons 65 years and older •nursing home residents and other chronic care facilities •adults and children with chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including children with asthma •people with metabolic diseases such as diabetes •those with blood diseases like sickle cell anemia, or impaired immunity The vaccine is usually given before the flu season. Since flu viruses mutate often, vaccines should be repeated each year. The vaccine is made from eggs. If allergic to eggs, consult health care provider.

Bedroom smoke alarms important (Oct. 2, 2015) Location matters when it comes to a smoke alarm. That’s the message behind the 2015 Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!” Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, the Ocean City Fire Department is joining forces with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) during Fire Prevention Week. The purpose of Fire Prevention Week, which is held Oct. 4-10, is to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. “Seconds count in a fire,” said David Hartley, fire marshal for the Town of Ocean City. “Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night be-
tween 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.” According to NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire by half. Meanwhile, three out of five fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages: •Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. •Test alarms at least monthly. •Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old — sooner if they don’t respond properly.
•Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. •If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place. •Call the fire department from outside the home. The Ocean City Fire Department will be hosting activities during Fire Prevention Week at local elementary schools to promote “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!” Through these educational activities, students will learn about the importance of having a working smoke alarm in every bedroom.

Shoulder season starting to swing sellers’ way Real estate listings inch closer to owner’s favor, but aren’t close to boom highs
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) While the numbers are nowhere near what they were early in the last decade, real estate listings on the shoulder seasons typically creep upward, which the Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR) sees as a good sign. “We get a lot of people during the summer, but everything is occupied so we can’t show anything,” Vicki Harmon, president of CAR said. “But we also get people excited to return in the fall when we are able to show.” According to figures furnished by CAR, early 2015 saw the largest increase in listing volume seen in several years. In January 2015, CAR reported 58 new listings in Ocean City and West Ocean City as compared to 40 in 2014 and 48 the year before. February’s increase was smaller, with 70 listings as compared to 61 in the two previous years. March bucked the trend a bit by offering 87 new listings in 2015, 83 in 2014 and 88 the year before. April was also up at 110, as compared to 101
in 2014 and 92 the year before. Ten years earlier, however, there were 90 new listings in January, and 71 in February. In March and April the listings really took off with 194 and 170 respectively. “This year there is truly a downswing on active listings,” Harmon said. “The season was extended a little bit this year but with a inventory going down, prices are going to rise. It’s turning toward favoring sellers but we’re not there yet.” Nothing is ever guaranteed in any market, but the situation is looking positive. “There is still a lot of uncertainty but I like … the trend,” she said. The tri-county area of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset is doing well with residential listings. In 2014, CAR’s figures for August had 276 new listings, compared with 254 in 2013 and 224 the year before. September had 283, up from 266 in 2013 and 217 in 2012. October had 276 listings in 2014, up from 227 in 2013 and a slim 188 in 2012. November 2014 didn’t change much from 2013, with 228 and 226 listings respectively and only 204 in 2012. December showed a marked change between 2014 and 2013, where 242 listings were reported in 2014 to 2013’s 177 and 2012’s 173.

January fell back into line with 150 in 2014, 134 in 2013 and 123 the year before. February had 165 listings with 151 in 2013 and only 135 the prior year. March inverted the trend by generating 197 listings, which is down from 218 and 214 respectively from the two years previous. April set things right again with 261 listings in 2014, 244 in 2013 and 196 in 2012. However, when compared with 2005 numbers, these still pale in comparison. August and September, for example, had well over 400 listings each month, but while the current market is doesn’t even approach that, real estate industry veterans know that 2004 and 2005 were aberrations in the real estate scheme of things. “Most of the activity we see sold in OC are condos in the $200,000$400,000 range, which is true
across the board last year. People were also gobbling up those in the $50,000 to $100,000 range,” Harmon said. The spring is also generally the most lucrative time in real estate, Harmon said. “It’s the final push. Owners have been thinking about selling all winter,” she explained. Events also play a role, with Bike Week being a favorite. “Not the car shows so much but the motorcycles” generate interested buyers, Harmon said. The way the market is now is the way Harmon predicts it’s going to stay for the time being. “Come November, the interest rates can go up, which means everything will get more expensive. Lots of factors make this very hard to predict. Everyone expects a slow increase, but it’s all dependent on interest rates,” Harmon said.
Pair of employees get new credentials, praise by town (Oct. 2, 2015): The Town of Ocean City congratulates Catrice Parsons, procurement manager, for obtaining the Certified Public Procurement Buyer credential and Pamela McMillan, procurement/supply supervisor, for obtaining the Certified Public Procurement Officer credential through Universal Public Procurement Certification Council.

Sunfest brings record crowds last weekend Numbers up more than 30K in 2013, more than 20K from five-year average
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) The threat of ominous weather did not stop 219,480 people from shopping, listening to music and tasting food at Sunfest last weekend, bringing the second largest attendance in the event’s history through its arches. The 41st annual festival took place in the inlet parking lot under large tents with more than 250 vendors and food booths offering arts, crafts and food during the four-day start to Ocean City’s “second season.” The attendance was up nearly 32,700 people from 2013 and was well above the five-year average of 196,050 visitors. “We had a wonderful Sunfest, despite some inconvenient weather,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Just like any outdoor event, we cannot predict what Mother Nature has up her sleeve, but our dedicated Sunfest fans showed us it isn’t just the “sun” that makes Sunfest so great.” The free festival launched, as usual, on Thursday with a parade down the Boardwalk. Although the weather worsened after opening day,

Randy Lee Ashcraft performs during the 41st annual Sunfest festival last Sunday. The annual sendoff of the summer season draws thousands of visitors to Ocean City. This year was busier than most, with a reported attendance of more than 219,000 people for the four-day event, held Sept. 24-27.
it did not stop thousands of people from from buying wares, trying out delicacies and catching shows. Country superstar Wynonna and the Big Noise played to the largest audience this year, with 1,604 people catching the show on Friday night. More than 1,100 people purchased tickets to see Tony Orlando perform on Thursday night and 1,442 fans turned out to see the 1990s alternative rock groups, the Spin Doctors and the Gin Blossoms at Saturday’s headlining show. Weather is usually the deciding factor when it comes to Sunfest attendance, although record crowds still showed up in huge numbers despite the wind and threats of rain last weekend. “We are so fortunate the crowds
came and are always amazed at the loyalty of our fans,” said Brenda Moore, special events coordinator for the Town of Ocean City. “Even with the threat of a storm, everyone still went shopping, bought tickets to shows, enjoyed the music and I think that’s great.” Ocean City has 109 hotels, motels and other lodging and about 65 percent were full before the weekend began, said Susan Jones, executive director for the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association. “From all accounts, the town was extremely busy with most hotels close to being full, especially south of town,” Jones said. “We did see a handful of cancellations due to weather, but overall, considering the forecast, we did really well and
weather was not a killer like expected.” Robert Rossel, of Epping, N.H., travelled 12 hours to attend his second Sunfest and to sell his crafts from-scratch ceramic flowers, plants seashells and corals. “Even with the pending floods, it was a really good event with how many people travel far distances and vendors who come from all over the United States,” Rossel said. “To have groups like the Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms play along with Elvis and different genres of music, organizers are reaching out to a diverse crowd and attracting shoppers in different age brackets, which was a strategic and brilliant move.” And that would be despite the forecast.

WORLD WAR II: FERENC SZALASI By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, the Hungarian NemzetvezetĹ? was returned to Hungarian custody by American soldiers. The Americans had captured the former NemzetvezetĹ? on May 6, 1945, in the small Austrian town of Mattsee, near the German border. “NemzetvezetĹ?â€? is the Hungarian word for “leaderâ€? or “national leader.â€? All of the European dictators, or pseudo-dictators of the era, took that title. Italy was the first, with its “Duce.â€? Germany followed with “der FĂźhrer.â€? These first two were aped by the Spanish “Caudillo,â€? the Romanian “Conducător,â€? the Slovakian “Vodca,â€? the Croatian “Poglavnik,â€? the Norwegian “Førerâ€? and the Turkish “Milli Ĺžef.â€? This disease even bled into Asia, where the Japanese-installed ruler of Burma styled himself, “Naingandaw Adipadi.â€? But Ferenc SzĂĄlasi, the Hungarian NemzetvezetĹ?, was way late to the game. He only assumed power when the Germans deposed the Hungarian regent, Adm. VitĂŠz MiklĂłs Horthy de NagybĂĄnya, on Oct. 16, 1944, and forced him (they were holding his son) to name SzĂĄlasi as his successor. The new NemzetvezetĹ? was taking command of a rapidly sinking ship. In August, the neighboring Kingdom of Romania had switched sides and declared war on Germany and Hungary and sent two of its armies against its former allies. In September, Bulgaria followed suit, and added one of its armies to the Soviet-Romanian effort. By October, Soviet, Romanian and Bulgarian
armies were well within Hungarian borders. Hungary’s second-largest city, 900-year-old Debrecen, which prewar had a population of 124,000, was threatened with capture and would fall to the Romanians days after the NemzetvezetĹ? took office. And the Americans and British were bombing Budapest. The future NemzetvezetĹ? was born in the Hungarian city of Kassa, now the Slovakian city KoĹĄice, in 1897. He followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the AustroHungarian army in 1915. After the victorious Allies separated Austria from Hungary, and Croatia and Slovakia from Hungary, following WWI in the Treaty of Trianon, SzĂĄlasi continued serving in the Hungarian Army. In 1935, he left the army to pursue a career in politics and later formed the Arrow Cross Party, which was modeled on Germany’s Nazi Party. After the party gained 15 percent of the vote, and 29 seats in the parliamentary vote of 1939, Adm. Horthy banned it. In March 1944, der FĂźhrer became “disenchantedâ€? with the Hungarian government, primarily because of its “secretâ€? efforts to seek peace with the Allies. While he was meeting with Adm. Horthy at the Klessheim Palace in Salzburg, Austria on March 12, 1944, der FĂźhrer gave the order to implement Operation Margarethe. This was the name given to the surreptitious occupation by the Wehrmacht of Budapest. When the admiral returned to his capital, he was greeted by German soldiers and told that Prime Minister MiklĂłs KĂĄllay must be removed from

office. On March 25, Adm. Horthy appointed Gen. DĂśme SztĂłjay prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. Gen. SztĂłjay had served for a decade as Hungary’s ambassador to Germany, so was acceptable. The new prime minister quickly legalized the Arrow Cross Party. He also gave the green light to Adolf Eichmann to begin deportations of Hungarian Jews. Gen. SztĂłjay was forced out of office by Adm. Horthy in August of 1944 – after half of Hungary’s Jews had been deported – and replaced by Gen. VitĂŠz GĂŠza Lakatos, who stopped the deportations. However, when he and the admiral negotiated a peace treaty with the U.S.S.R., and the admiral announced it on the radio, on Oct. 15, the Germans moved, transporting both to Germany and installing SzĂĄlasi as the NemzetvezetĹ?. Now, the Arrow Cross thugs were given the green light. In the little time and space remaining to them, they were able to kill another 38,000 Hungarian citizens. With the Soviet, Romanian and Bulgarian armies about to surround Budapest, the NemzetvezetĹ? fled the Hungarian capital on Dec. 9, 1944 and relocated to Szombathely, the oldest city in the country. It is located six miles from the Austrian border and currently has a population of 79,000. On Dec. 29, he and his government set up shop in the Stirling Villa, in the village of Velem, on the western edge of Hungary. Today, the village has a population of 343. The SzĂĄlasi government continued to meet in the villa until March 19. Ultimately, the NemzetvezetĹ? and his government were reduced to meeting at an inn in Mattsee, Austria, until the government was dissolved on May 7, 1945, when the NemzetvezetĹ? was taken into custody by American soldiers. Upon SzĂĄlasi’s return to Hungary, he was housed in a specially constructed cell in the basement of the building that had housed the Arrow Cross. His trial was held in the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy, before a “People’s Courtâ€? in Budapest. The trial began in February.
With no heat in the academy, the participants wore overcoats. By March 1, the expected verdict and sentence had been obtained – guilty – with death by hanging. Execution was scheduled for March 12, 1946. Unfortunately for the NemzetvezetĹ?, hanging in Hungary differed significantly from hanging in the U.S. and U.K. The Anglo-American method was relatively humane – if performed by an experienced hangman. A noose at the end of a rope whose length was determined by the condemned’s weight, was placed around the condemned’s neck, who stood on a trap door. Above the noose was a large heavy knot. When the trap door was sprung, the condemned fell to the length of the rope, which slammed the big knot against the side of the head, rendering the condemned unconscious, while the neck was broken, painlessly, by the noose. At least, it was supposed to work that way! However, the Hungarian way is far different. The drop is a mere inches. There is no knot to render the condemned unconscious and the neck is not broken. Essentially, the condemned are strangled to death. On March 12, a calm SzĂĄlasi was taken from his cell and led into the cold courtyard of the MarkĂł Utca prison. There he was prepared for his execution by hanging. The day after his execution, his appeal for mercy was considered by the National Council of People’s Tribunals. It recommended that Justice Minister IstvĂĄn Ries deny the appeal, which he did. The court’s sentence was then affirmed by the President, ZoltĂĄn Tildy on March 15, 1946.

Oct. 24 at the Woodlands, 1135 Ocean Parkway, Ocean Pines, Md. HARRY E. MITCHELL Ocean City Harry E. Mitchell lost his battle with dementia on Sept. 24, 2015. Born in Baltimore on Sept. 27, 1927, he was the youngest son of the late Harry Mitchell and Cora (Wissig) Mitchell, the loving husband of the late Marlyn (Bolard) Mitchell, and the very loving father of Joyce M. Million-Hoff. He has two grandsons, Max E. Million and Jett M. Million. He has three great-grandchildren, Savanah Million, Braiden Million and Chayce Million. He is survived by his oldest sister, Audrey Kuhnle of Baltimore, and sisterin-law Irene of Carroll County and several nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sister, Fran Wachter, brother, Frank, niece, Susan Johnson, and nephew, John Mitchell. As a child, he spent his summers near Annapolis in Sherwood Forest, Md. and competed in many swimming and sailing events winning many medals. At 17, he joined the Merchant Marines and traveled around the globe for two years bringing military supplies from WWII back to the US. He was very proud of this country and the military services evident by the flags flying at his home.

He briefly took an industrial arts and wood shop teaching position at the Franklin Sr. High School in Reisterstown from 1961-63 while his daughter underwent heart surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Harry was an avid horseman, often seen riding the trails at Liberty Reservoir, foxhunting with Taylorsville Hunt Club, The New Market Hounds, and eventually starting the foxhunting club known as “The Mayberry Hounds.” Horses were his lifelong passion. After a horse riding accident in 1974, he retired to Ocean City, where he lived until 2014. Unable to ride horses, he rekindled his love of sailing and sailed his 21-foot O’Day sailboat nearly every day of the year from his home in Ocean City until 2013. He spent most of his life enjoying entertaining his friends, the outdoors and animals. He had many dear friends, some dating back to his elementary school years. He was a great storyteller and enjoyed entertaining his friends at his OC home. He will be deeply missed because those who knew him know there is only “ONE” Harry! Harry donated his body to the Maryland Anatomy Board and funeral services are private.

Worcester’s Lady Mallards log 8-0 win over Gunston
Decatur’s Lady Seahawks shut out Easton, 3-0
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) After a slow start Monday, the Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team began playing its game and went on to win 3-0 over the Easton Warriors in Berlin. “The first half they came out a little slow, a little sloppy. It looked a little like pinball,” said Decatur Coach Maggie Berke. “We played the way the other team was playing — not so much our game. We talked at halftime and they definitely cleaned it up in the second half.” Junior Lexie VanKirk gave Decatur a 1-0 lead, scoring off a senior captain Alexis McDonough pass in the first half. “Usually the first goal always gives us a little bit of confidence. I think that we just needed that to really push us forward,” VanKirk said. “Lexi McDonough’s killing it on the field. She always starts us off. She had the assist so it’s obvious she knows how to get us going.” The Lady Seahawks continued to dominate in the second half, firing shot after shot, but it would be more than 35 minutes before the home team netted its second goal. With four minutes remaining in the game, junior Mallory Vara dribbled past several Easton players and knocked the ball to the far post. With 1:11 remaining on the clock, junior Brigitte Ardis got a few steps ahead of her defender and put the ball in the back of the net to boost Decatur’s advantage to three. “The second half was much better. We were passing the ball around – they were kicking it a lot in the first half – they were playing to feet, finding players, keeping their body in front of the ball,” Berke said. “I think we capitalized because they got tired. The majority of the game was definitely in the other team’s half. Our goalies had very minimal shots taken on them so it was definitely our game.” Senior goalie Alexis Gausepohl stopped two Easton shots in the first half. Junior Rachel Florek made four saves in the second half. The Seahawks will travel to Salisbury on Monday for a rematch with the James M. Bennett Clippers at 5:30 p.m. When the two teams met in Berlin on Sept. 16, Bennett won 3-0. “We need to work on coming out strong and not taking that lag time to catch up, and really play because the next game is a big one so they need to be ready from the first whistle,” Berke said. “We definitely don’t want to happen what happened last time. We’re the

better team and we can finish it for sure,” VanKirk said. “Last time we had a lot of shots. Our key this time, I think our forwards – Brigitte and Mallory – have a lot more confidence. I think they are completely confident up there now and we’re going to be all contributing and scoring this game.”

Stephen Decatur senior captain Peyton Townsend prepares to cross the ball during Monday's game against Easton at Seahawk Stadium in Berlin.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team scored early and often on Wednesday in Centreville, earning an 8-0 shutout over the Gunston Day Herons. Junior Madison Bescak got things rolling for the Lady Mallards, firing a shot outside the 18-yard box past the Gunston goalie just a minute and a half into the game. She scored again shortly after. Junior Karlie Southcomb then increased Worcester’s advantage to three just about seven minutes into the competition. “They were all excellent, well-placed shots,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. Bescak tallied a third goal in the first half and finished the game with four. The Mallards led 6-0 at halftime. Also scoring goals for Worcester were freshman Delaney Abercrombie, senior captain Grace Tunis and sophomore Anchita Batra. “I thought we played excellent. We had good passing, good ball movement, good spacing [and] we widened the field. We were just connecting the dots,” Hartnett said. “It was raining and we played well under the conditions.” Freshman Grace Gardner started in goal for Worcester and stopped three Gunston shots. Julia Godwin, a freshman, took over in the net in the second half and was not challenged. “Our defense is really strong. We’ve only given up one goal this season, and our goalies, who are just freshmen, are awesome,” Hartnett said. “The center field is distributing balls well and creating opportunities [for the offense].” The undefeated (6-0) Mallards were scheduled to travel to Easton today, Friday, (weather permitting) to battle their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres, at 4 p.m. When the teams went head-tohead on Sept. 14 in Berlin, Worcester won 2-0. “We didn’t have a good first half last time. We have a better feel for them now. We have to start strong like we did [Wednesday against Gunston],” Hartnett said, adding that the girls are ready for the match-up with Saints Peter & Paul. “We’re much better now than we were at the beginning of the season. We’re getting better every week, the girls are working hard, they’re communicating well, we have great leadership and we have a lot of depth. We’re right where we need to be at this point in the season.”

Wor. Prep golfers peaking at right time, Coach Dailey says
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) The Worcester Prep golf team won its final two matches of the regular season as the Mallards now prepare for the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship on Oct. 20. Last Wednesday at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin, Worcester shot a 173 to take top honors in the four-school competition. Leading the Mallards on their home course was senior captain Jason Cook, who carded a 37. He recorded the lowest score of the day to earn medalist honors. Senior captain John Meakin (41), sophomore Austin Taylor (45) and senior Bennett Truitt (50) also contributed to the victory. Salisbury Christian finished in second place with a 203, followed by Washington (207) and Salisbury School (230). “We rebounded from our emotional [Ryder Cup tournament] tie with Stephen Decatur and got back on a winning track,” Prep Coach Scot Dailey
said. “We played decent as a team. We’re just trying to keep competing in preparation for our final regular-season match.” Worcester’s final competition of the 2015 regular season was Tuesday at Nutter’s Crossing in Salisbury. The Prep team ended on a high note, shooting a 154. Cook led the group with a 36 to earn his fifth medalist honors for the season. Taylor carded a career low 37 and juniors Grant Brown and Zach Wilson tallied 39 and 42, respectively. “It’s unbelievable how well we played. The low scores were pretty impressive. It’s a good way to finish the regular season,” Dailey said. “I am extremely proud of the kids for all their effort. They’re peaking at the right time before the conference championship.” Worcester finished the regular season 18-3-1 overall (6-0 ESIAC). The Berlin squad will host Salisbury School and Salisbury Christian at GlenRiddle on Oct. 20 for the ESIAC championship. “We’re going to have to play our best to win the title,” Dailey said.

Decatur cross country teams earn first place during meet
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) The Stephen Decatur girls’ and boys’ cross country teams were both victorious during Wednesday’s eight-school meet on their home course in Berlin. “I thought the Decatur runners did OK. On the boys side, I thought
that Jack [Reimer] ran pretty well and on the girls side I thought Kailey Andrews ran pretty well,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “The weather was pretty humid, which probably had an effect on the times.” The Lady Seahawks scored 20 See STIGLER Page 35

Continued from Page 34 points in the win. Mardela was second with 67 points and Nandua was third (102). Senior Alison Alvarado was the first Decatur runner to cross the finish line. She completed the race second overall (23:56.3). Also contributing to the victory was junior Peyton Dunham (third, 24:13.6), senior Rachel Savage Jody Stigler (fourth, 24:26.6), Andrews, a freshman, (fifth, 25:53.6) and sophomore Maya Knepp (sixth, 26:26.6). “The girls had good consistency with five in the top six and all seven in the top nine, so the outcome was pretty good, but I think all of these girls have the ability to run faster by the end of the year. Same with the boys, basically,” Stigler said. The Decatur boys’ team finished first with 33 points. Nandua was a distant runner-up with 77 points and North Dorchester took third (90). Reimer, a sophomore, led Decatur, crossing the finish line third overall (19:06.9). Also scoring points for the Seahawks were jun-
iors Javier Hernandez (fifth, 19:31.4), Cameron James (seventh, 19:59.1) and Jared Massey (eighth, 20:19.1) and sophomore Matt Alvarado (10th, 20:56.3). “I thought the boys went out too slow in the first mile and were kind of stuck playing catch-up with some other runners for the rest of the race,” Stigler said. Decatur is slated to compete in the annual Tidewater XC Fall Classic at Winter Place Park in Salisbury on Wednesday with teams from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Stigler hopes the boys can place top two among Bayside Conference schools and the girls in the top three. “I am hoping that we run good times for a flat course and be competitive among the Bayside schools. In one word, what I am looking for is ‘consistency,’” Stigler said. “I think it will greatly benefit our team if we have a smaller spread between our 1-5 runners. “[Wednesday] our boys spread (15) was about two minutes and our girls was about 2:30,” Stigler continued. “We have to work together during the race to improve the spread between our top runners and our 57 runners.”

fense. Kent Island was able to move the ball in the second half and we weren’t.” The game was scoreless until the final seconds of the first half, when Decatur sophomore John Ford kicked a 26-yard field goal to give his team a 30 lead going into the break. “At halftime we talked about playing tough, what was working and to just finish what we started. We didn’t make many adjustments,” Knox said. “Our main success in the first half was a new formation … [senior captain] De’Quan Andrews ran the ball 70 yards on seven carries, but we couldn’t do that in the second half because he cramped up. He plays on both sides [of the ball]. He’s used to playing offense, but not carrying the ball.” Kent Island scored with two minutes left in the third quarter. The Buccaneers made it 14-3 with eight minutes remaining in the game. “It was an even game in the first half. The second half they were fresher than we were and it showed,” Knox said. “Our defense played tough again. They just got worn down.” Senior captain Ernest Shockley led the Decatur defense with 29 tackles. Jimmy Englishmen, a senior, made 11 tackles and junior Ed Zonnak brought down 10 Buccaneers. Senior captain Dryden Brous rushed 12 times for 49 yards. Junior quarterback Darion McKenzie carried the ball five times for 35 yards. He was 4-for-11, passing for 48 yards. Knox said the Seahawks (3-1) are looking forward to hosting the 4-0 North Caroline Bulldogs tonight, Friday, at 6 p.m. (weather permitting) on their homecoming. “They’re coming here and our kids will be ready to go,” Knox said. “We need to play nasty for four quarters – play angry on every play like they’re coming to steal your lunch. We need to be disciplined and be physical.”

PROTECTING THE BALL Stephen Decatur junior captain Alton Walker shields the ball from a Parkside player during Tuesday's game in Berlin. “We played so well and moved the ball so well, but just could not get quality shots on goal,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said after the Seahawks’ 1-0 loss. “It's was very disappointing to have played so well and not come away with a victory. We will continue to work on finishing at practice and hopefully we will be able to put the ball in the back of the net.”
stopped six Gunston shots. “They played well. It was good to get us to score some goals,” said Prep Coach Katie Oxenreider. “They had some great passing combinations on the field. We need to use this game and build on it for three days of solid practices before our rematch [with] Saints Peter & Paul on Friday. We have been successful at dominating a lot of our games, so now we need to work on capitalizing and scoring goals to get us to a win.” Worcester is scheduled to travel to Easton to play the Saints Peter & Paul Sabres, today, Friday, at 4 p.m.
and the Mallards are looking forward to the competition. When the two Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals met in Berlin on Sept. 14, the Sabres won 1-0. “We really dominated a lot of [the game]. We just couldn’t put one in the back of the cage,” Oxenreider said after the Sept. 14 match. “At the end, I thought we were going to [score], we were close, we just didn’t finish. I thought our passes looked good, our stick work was good, we just couldn’t put it in the back of the cage.”

Prep boys’ soccer team tops Gunston, 7-1 Once Mallards settled in and beat press in midfield, scoring opportunities come
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team controlled Monday’s game against the Gunston Day Herons in Centreville, tallying seven goals and holding its opponent to one. “I think once they settled in and concentrated on beating the press defensive style in the midfield for Gunston, they
found numerous scoring opportunities up front,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “After that, it was a matter of beating the keeper with shots on goal.” Freshman Colin Miller scored at the 30-minute mark on a left-footed half volley. Junior captain Patrick Petrera collected a senior Elio Telo cross two minutes later and beat the keeper with a dribble move, playing the ball to the back left corner for the second goal. The Mallards led 2-0 at halftime. Three minutes into the second half, Petrera blasted a shot from 15 yards out to give Worcester a three-goal ad-
vantage. He completed his hat trick on a through pass from junior Seth Lewis to score on a breakaway. Senior Alex Choy logged the Berlin squad’s fifth goal at the Terry Underkoffler 55-minute mark. Five minutes later, Lewis put a junior captain Owen Nally pass by the Gunston goalie. Sophomore Tucker Brown finished the scoring for Worcester with 16 minutes left in the game. Gunston recorded its lone goal off
a corner kick with four minutes on the clock. Senior Charlie Pritchard made four saves in goal for the Mallards. Cooper Richins, a freshman, stopped two Herons’ shots. “Colin Miller has been playing an outstanding holding midfield for Worcester Prep for the past few games, giving us balance and depth in our possession game,” Underkoffler said. “[Junior] Brendan Miller has been one of the best players in the league so far with his play at center back,” he See AFTER Page 38

The Offshore Powerboat Association championship powerboat races originally slated for Sunday, have been canceled. Organizers worked with the Coast Guard and city officials to reschedule the Ocean City Nationals for the weekend of Oct. 16-18.
Powerboat races canceled, rescheduled for Oct. 16-18
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) The Offshore Powerboat Association planned to have its championship powerboat races on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 4, from Third to 25th Street, but due to interference from a hurricane, which could strike the Ocean City coastline this weekend, the event was canceled. Organizers worked with the Coast Guard and city officials to reschedule the Ocean City Nationals for the weekend of Oct. 16-18. “We are hoping to have the same turnout of boats and everything should be exactly the same,” Phil Houck, promoter of the event, said. Spectators will have the opportunity to watch dozens of boats, which are 25 to 44 feet in length and go from 65 to 150 miles per hour during two heats, Houck said. The course is five miles in length with smaller boats taking about five laps and bigger ones lapping around 12-14 times throughout the race. “Powerboat racing is unique because every lap changes and you get what Mother Nature gives you,” Houck said. “This is the 10th race of the year and boaters have accumulated points so you could have the top four boaters racing for the champi-
onship based on the point system.” Friday, boats were scheduled to arrive at the staging area in the West Ocean City harbor where cranes will lift them into the water. A full weekend of activities for participants include a welcome party Friday night at Crab Alley, boat inspections and a morning physical at the Coast Guard Station before trial runs continue all day Saturday. Boaters from Michigan, Florida and California will be participating in the final race for the National Championship, Houck said. The Ocean City World Championship race dates back to 1992 with a seven or eight year hiatus before returning to the resort just a few years ago with the help of Houck and OPA President Edward Smith. Visitors can watch the races from anywhere on the Boardwalk and beach. The OPA National Championship Powerboat Races are rescheduled for Oct. 16-18, from 12-4 p.m. The racecourse is from Third to 25th Street and the race command center will be at Grotto’s on 14th Street and the Boardwalk. There will be an awards ceremony Sunday night at 7 p.m. at Crab Alley. For information and a full schedule of events, check out oparacing.org.
BANK RECOGNIZES WEEK 3 DECATUR MVP The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the Stephen Decatur High School football team and following each game, a most valuable player is chosen. As part of its annual $500 pledge, the bank makes a donation to the Stephen Decatur High School Athletic Boosters in that player’s name. Week 3 winner was junior quarterback Darion McKenzie. During the Sept. 18 game against Easton in Berlin, McKenzie rushed four times for 86 yards. He had one rushing and one passing touchdown. Decatur won 40-9. On hand for the recent presentation, from left, are Coach Bob Knox, McKenzie and Earl Conley of the Bank of Ocean City.
Having four solid scores at every match key for Decatur
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 2, 2015) The Stephen Decatur golf team shot a 164 on Tuesday at Nassawango Golf & Country Club in Snow Hill to finish in second place, just two strokes behind James M. Bennett during the seven-school match. “For the most part we played up to our potential, but what’s killing us this year is not having four solid scores at every match,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “I was very proud of [junior] Hailey Brown, who recorded her career best score of 41 at Nassawango, and [freshman] Emily Malinowski, who was playing in her first Bayside South match [and] carded a respectable 46.”
Junior captain Matt Kristick led Decatur with a 38. Also contributing to the 164 team score was sophomore Matt Kinsey (40), Brown (41) and junior Tanner Leonard (45). After the match, Bennett had a onepoint lead over Decatur in the Bayside Conference South with three competitions remaining in the regular season. The next match is scheduled for Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover. “We have three matches remaining and in order to be successful we can not afford to shoot stale, average, mediocre rounds,” Krall said. “Each one of my players must start peaking now in order to have a chance at the title.”
After six games on road, Wor. back on home field, Monday Continued from Page 37 added. “This is a positional change for him this year. Last year he was one of our strikers. He reads the game so well, balances and organizes the defense and wins many tackles in our defense.” After a long road-game stretch, Worcester will host its first match since Sept. 3. The Delmarva Christian
Royals are slated to make the trip to Berlin on Monday for a 4 p.m. game. “We need to continue to be quick, decisive and creative in our midfield possession game with timed runs into the attacking third of the field,” Underkoffler said. “Our crossing has improved since the beginning of the season and as that develops, so do we.”

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Representatives from several local breweries – and one supply store – lead a four-hour beer-making demonstration at Assawoman Bay Brewing Company on 45th Street last Monday. Pictured, from left, are Sam Sayler and Jason Weissberg of Assawoman Bay Brewing Company, Toby Donovan and Jerry Franklin of 3rd Wave Brewing Co., Doug Grifith of Xtreme Brewing and Adam Davis from Backshore Brewing Company.
Local breweries offer beer class Brewmasters demonstrate techniques, tools used to create perfect beverages
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Brewmasters from several local breweries went “Back to Their Roots” on Sept. 21, creating an “Autumn Harvest” and a “Breakfast Porter” during a demonstration at Assawoman Bay Brewing Company on 45th Street in Ocean City. The Autumn Harvest included two pounds of beets for added flavor and color, while the Breakfast Porter, which refers to flavor profile rather than suggested time of consumption, used smoked malts and molasses. Assawoman brew master Jason Weissberg led the four-hour walkthrough, sponsored by ShoreCraftBeer.com, with the help of Jerry Franklin from 3rd Wave Brewing Co., Adam Davis from Backshore Brewing Company and Doug Grifith from Xtreme Brewing. Organizer Ann Hillyer from OceanCity.com said the collaborative demo was – as far as she knew – the first of its kind in Maryland.
Weissberg called the setup a “modified homebrew,” adding that he started brewing five-gallon batches with equipment borrowed from a restaurant. “You can get quality beer from a stovetop,” said Toby Donovan, a representative from 3rd Wave. “Don’t be intimidated. We’re doing this … to show you how basic [a setup can be], and how to create beer.” Both beers started as a mash mix of already crushed grains, which were added to pre-boiled water, brought to about 152 degrees and stirred until it reached the consistency of soupy oatmeal, halfway between oatmeal and cereal. During this process the starches and grains convert into sugar, which eventually helps produce the alcohol in beer. Temperature, at this point, is essential, Franklin said. “You really want that heat in there,” he said. “You’re stirring it down and you’re letting it sit. Once it’s in there you leave it alone.” After about an hour the result, or wort, was quickly clarified by pouring it into another container, then added to a stainless steel pot and boiled for
approximately 60 minutes. While boiling, the brew masters add hops to the mix three times: once right away, to add bitterness, then again 10-15 minutes into the boil, to add flavor, and finally at the end to add aroma. “The reason you have to do this at three different times instead of all at once is the hops in the very beginning, after an hour of boiling, [lose] all the flavor and all the aroma is gone,” Franklin said. “The only thing that’s left is bitterness.” Next, the mixture was rapidly chilled to 68 degrees and transferred to a glass carboy, although Weissberg noted that a plastic carboy could also “create great beers.” Grifith, who operates a supply store and has been something of a guru to several top local brewers, said a coiled chilling mechanism runs about $150. As an alternative for home brewers on a budget, the stainless steel pot can be transferred into a bathtub filled with ice and water allowed to cool, and then poured into the carboy. The next step is adding, or “pitching,” the yeast, which eats the sugar See BREWERIES Page 42
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) The National Association of Realtors recently released a “Real Estate in a Digital Age” report, which showed that even though more consumers are using the Internet as a tool during their home search, buyers are increasingly utilizing the knowledge and expertise of a real estate agent. “Consumers have the ability to do more home buying research online and be more connected during the home search process than ever before, but research proves they are still seeing the value a Realtor brings to the transaction, from the initial search to well after the closing,” said NAR President Chris Polychron. The report findings showed: • finding the right property was ranked as the most difficult step in the home buying process. • four of 10 buyers looked for properties online as a first step in the home buying process, up from 36 percent in 2010. • 88 percent of buyers in 2014 purchased their home with assistance from a real estate agent, up from 83 percent in 2010. • 94 percent of millennials and 84 percent of baby boomers used online websites in their home search, yet only 65 percent of the silent generation — those ages 69 to 89 years — did the same. When it comes to website listing features, photos and online property information were more important to millennials, while virtual tours and direct contact with a real estate agent were more important to baby boomers. Despite visual content growing in popularity and importance, older homebuyers found virtual tours more useful than younger buyers (45 percent among the silent generation and baby boomers compared to 36 percent among millennials). As for the length of time it takes for consumers to find a home, millennials typically looked for about 11 weeks, while baby boomers and members of the silent generation searched for 8 weeks. Internet use also impacted the length of a home search. Those who used the Internet to search homes visited more homes and searched for longer, looking at 10 homes over a 10week period, versus four homes in See GROWING Page 42

Breweries show off skills during beer-making demo Continued from Page 41 and produces both carbon dioxide and alcohol, then capping the carboy and allowing the mixture to ferment for seven days. After a week, the beer can be transferred to another container and allowed to clarify for an additional seven days, although Weissberg said that step can be somewhat subjective. “Moving the beer after fermentation removes the yeast that will have settled out, while leaving beer on yeast too long can have an effect on flavor,” he said. “Is it necessary? No. Is it a progression of technique and style of brewing? Yup. Does it make better beer? That depends on everything else that was done up to and after that point to get the beer ready to consume.” Following fermentation – and possible clarification – the beer is ready to be added to a keg and “force car-
bonated” using added CO2 pressure. As an alternative, the beer can be bottled with priming sugar to add carbonation. This process takes an additional two weeks, according to Weissberg. He added that additional brewing tips could be found on the American Homebrewer’s Association web page at www.homebrewersassociation.org. “It’s a great resource for ideas, tips, local clubs etc., and there is National Learn to Homebrew day in the spring I believe,” he said. Hillyer said a 10-15 minute video of the demonstration would be available on ShoreCraftBeer.com within the next week.

Furthermore, 85 percent reported that they feel a reduced quality of life due to isolation. “For many caregivers, the unpredictable nature of the disease can make going out in public with their loved one intimidating,” said Corrie Boger, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset counties. “Our research shows that family caregivers might be reluctant to frequent public places because of the behaviors that could be associated with the disease.” According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, the number of people with dementia worldwide is expected to grow to a staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050. “Given the statistics, most businesses that deal with the public will be serving people with Alzheimer’s and their families,” said Boger. “It’s critical that local businesses start working now to build Alzheimer’s friendly communities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.” Local businesses can work directly with the local Home Instead Senior Care office to coordinate an in-person training. An interactive, online version of the training also is available at AlzheimersFriendlyBusiness.com.

‘Blood, Sweat and Beer’ documentary available on iTunes
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) After two years of “Blood, Sweat and Beer,” the documentary featuring one of Ocean City’s breweries, was picked up for distribution and will now be available on iTunes and video on-demand platforms including Xbox, Amazon Prime, Vudu and Google Play, starting today, Oct. 2. “It’s been a long journey and at this point we are passionate about the movie and hope a lot of people watch it,” said creator Chip Hiden, who along with codirector, Alexis Irvin, have completed the producing, directing, cinematography, editing, motion graphics, sound and travel costs with their personal savings. Since March, Hiden and Irvin have visited between 40 and 50 brewery screenings and film festivals to promote their documentary which is focused on the craft beer industry and tells the stories of two start-up breweries. The film follows Danny Robinson’s Backshore Brewing Company’s troubles with a trademark lawsuit that arose when the local pub debuted as “Shorebilly” on 10th Street and the Boardwalk, in addition to chronicling struggles the Brew Gentlemen Beer Company of Braddock, Pa. faced in trying to bring jobs back to their once prosperous steel town. Braddock suffers from decades of neglect, population loss and violence. For 15 months, the filmmakers traveled to 14 states and interviewed more than 100 brewery experts for the documentary. “The whole experience has been surreal,” Robinson said. “Seeing my head popping up on screen is something I can’t get used to.” “Blood, Sweat and Beer” received interest from a couple of distributers and FilmBuff seemed to be the best fit, Hiden said. Future plans are for the film to be as widely seen as possible. “We are excited and pretty pumped it happened,” Hiden said. Their goal is to propel “Blood, Sweat and Beer” into the top 25 category for documentaries on iTunes. Currently, Hiden and Irvin are focused on promoting the film by continuing to travel across the United States to film festivals and breweries. They are continuously looking for their next film project and Alexis is finishing up a novel. Robinson mentioned he filmed commentary with Backshore Brewing bartender and funnyman Nate Todd, which is a scene not to miss in the DVD set. Check out, apple.co/1iMfp56 to order “Blood, Sweat, & Beer” on iTunes or visit www.bloodsweatbeermovie.vhx.tv to order a DVD copy with commentary.
inside going out re you all enjoying the very last days of beach weather here in Ocean City? I think it’s still going to take me awhile to adjust to it looking like fall, but feeling tropical. If I were still in the northeast I’d be living in boots and sweaters for sure by now, not that I’m really missing any of that, yet. So, we are smack in the middle of what the locals call “Second Season” and I’m loving it. Plus there is still so much going on, like Sunfest. Did you hit up the 41st annual Sunfest in the inlet parking lot last weekend? It is so cool how just about every event here in OC is done up big. More than 180 crafters and artists were on hand to show off their talent under the tents last weekend and while the weather didn’t always cooperate, that didn’t seem to kill the overall mood of Sunfest. Speaking of people that are in a great mood, if you run into Kristin Myers and her husband Art, congratulate them. Kristin was the winner of Coconuts Beach Bar & Grill’s Tipsy Turtle Contest and that means that the couple will be spending some quality time together in the Bahamas. Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the Sea celebrated its yearly Beach Bash at Seacrets earlier this week and the crowd was lined up an hour before the doors even opened! Guests sampled food from at least 30 different vendors and were given an opportunity to win $10,000. Since the non-profit works exclusively with critically ill children, the money raised from this event will really be put to great use by families in need. There is also a Bonfire on the Beach on Friday, Oct. 2 from 6-8 p.m. on the beach at 130th Street. Enjoy live entertainment, s’mores and hot chocolate. For more information, call 410-5205180 The Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Tournament will take place on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2-3. Check out www.oceancitysurfanglersmd.com for more information.

Wor. County recognizes volunteers Seven individuals and four groups celebrated during ceremony at Atlantic Hotel (Oct. 2, 2015) Worcester County Commissioners and Volunteer Services Manager Kelly Brinkley recently recognized seven individuals and four groups during the annual Volunteer Spirit of Worcester County Awards dinner ceremony at the Atlantic Hotel in Berlin. Volunteers were nominated by their peers in one of four “star” categories: youth, individual, faith-based and nonprofit volunteer program. “These volunteers represent the countless hundreds of stars in our community stepping forward to volunteer to assure that vital community services and programs remain available to meet the needs of area residents and visitors,” Brinkley said. “It’s a huge honor to be able to shine the spotlight on them, even if it’s just for a moment to say thanks, and we appreciate the way you turn love into action to care for the community’s needs.” Wade Wilkins of Stephen Decatur High School was recognized in the youth category with the Volunteer Spirit Award for his work with the 38th annual Children’s Theater program at SDHS where he was instrumental in stage setup, set creation
and performing. Those in the individual category included Pat Westcott of Coastal Hospice, who received the Volunteer Spirit Award for her 23 years as a patient care volunteer. Those recognized as “stars” included Sandy McAbee and Paul Mazzei of Star Charities, Beverly Thomas for the Friends of the Worcester County Commission for Women, Stacy Paulson of Assateague Coastal Trust, and Joan Jenkins of the Rackcliffe House Trust. McAbee and Mazzei assist neighbors in the community and support numerous nonprofits in northern Worcester County. Thomas’s leadership roles support the goals of the Commission for Women. Paulson provides information technology services that help the nonprofit share its mission to protect the coastal bays with local and global communities online. Jenkins provided the leadership and energy needed to completely restore the Rackcliffe House. In the faith-based category the Shepherd’s Crook at St. Paul’s by-theSea in Ocean City received the Volunteer Spirit Award for their work in providing food, clothing and a welcome break for all those who enter. Those recognized as “stars” include the volunteers in the Backpack Program at Atlantic United Methodist
Church in Ocean City, who ensure children in need receive a backpack full of nutritious food to feed them during the weekends when they are not at school. In the nonprofit volunteer program category, Court Appointed Special Advocates through the Worcester Youth & Family Counseling Services in Berlin received the Volunteer Spirit Award for acting as a voice for children in need in the courtroom and all other areas in life until each child finds a permanent home. Land Stewardship Volunteers with the Lower Shore Land Trust were recognized as “stars” for nurturing relationships between the community and landowners that lead to the preservation and protection of sensitive tracts of land for future generations. Volunteers make Worcester County a better place to live, work and visit. To honor those whose contributions assure the continuation of vital services, Worcester County residents were recently invited to nominate individuals and community organizations for the 2015 Volunteer Spirit of Worcester County. For more information about volunteering in Worcester County or to learn more about the work done by this year’s Volunteer Spirit of Worcester County Award winners, contact Brinkley at 410-632-0090.

Second Pooch Palooza at Frontier Town this Saturday
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Take your fourlegged friends to the second annual Pooch Palooza Dog Festival at Frontier Town in Berlin on Saturday, Oct. 3. Presented by Delmarva Unleashed, the event features hours of games, contests and activities for the entire family to enjoy. “Our publication, Delmarva Unleashed, has grown from about 60,000 last year to almost 220,000 this year and we have sold tickets [for Pooch Palooza] from New York to the Carolinas, across the Peninsula and in the Washington D.C./Baltimore metro area,” said Sandy Phillips, organizer of the event. More than 350 dogs and approximately 600 people attended the inaugural festival last year. Gates open at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with the first finals competition for the Delmarva Dock Dogs, who dive, jump and splash for bumpers off the dock tank, kicking off festivities. There will be five heats taking place throughout the day at the dock tank for trained dogs. In addition, a tennis ball lottery will be going on all day, where dogs can choose a ball from a kiddie pool to win prizes such as small chew toys, dog beds and canine gifts for the
home, Phillips said. Almost a dozen vendors will be on hand including pet stores such as Paws & Claws, Pet Valu, Concord Pet and the Plaid Dog. Several veterinarians such as Veterinary Orthopedic Specialty Center from Montgomery County, Ocean City Animal Hospital, Ocean View Animal Hospital, Layfield Veterinary, Veterinarian Jaclyn Wolinski of Hebron, Md., VCA Delmarva Animal Hospital and a few others will be in attendance. “We have dog food companies, including VeRus Foods and Beaverdam to name a few and oodles of samples from high-quality dog food companies to share with attendees,” Phillips said. “This effort is in conjunction with the year-long series we have been running on the importance of feeding quality dog food.” The first 50 ticket holders will received swag bags stuffed with quality dog food samples, she added. Delmarva Unleashed will hold its annual cover model search at Pooch Palooza. Dogs can show what they are made of as they strut down a runway for a chance to be featured on the front cover of Delmarva Unleashed magazine. Props will be provided, although owners are encouraged to bring their

own. Last year, 112 dogs competed for a place on the cover with only six spots available. “It’s a very coveted title to be a Delmarva Unleashed cover dog,” Phillips said. The event will also feature a costume and talent contest with three ribbons given out in each category. Ankle biters are 20 pounds or less, tailwaggers fall in the 21-50-pound group, watch dogs are more than 50 pounds, and a tricky dog category allows pooches to show off their talents. Pooch Palooza has a pie-eating contest, canine photo booth, a ginger-
bread house competition, demonstrations and the FastFetch Cup finals. Two previous qualifiers took place at the Delmarva Shorebirds Bark in the Park and Worcester County Fair to secure a position in the finals. All dogs will have a chance to qualify at 12:30 p.m. in the event ring. The fastest retriever will be determined at 2 p.m. when the FastFetch Cup final takes place. “We’ve seen dogs post some very impressive times in the event and I think people are looking forward to who wins the title,” Phillips said. Funds will help support the Worcester County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit See DELMARVA Page 52

Wounded Warriors Gala, Oct. 17 By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) American Legion Post #166 will host the second annual Wounded Warriors Gala on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 17 at its 24th Street facility. The festivities will begin at 5 p.m. with a social hour including hors d’oeuvres and drinks before a special program led by keynote speaker Debra Malone, a lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army and head nurse at Walter Reed National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. “People will feel good they are making a difference in benefiting a local wounded warrior,” said American Legion Post #166 Commander Sarge Garlitz. “There will be 15 wounded warriors from Walter Reed at the dinner and visiting Ocean City from Oct. 15-18.” In addition, Department of Maryland State Commander Lewis Trott will say a few words and Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan and Senator Jim Mathias will each present proclamations. Jerry Black, executive director of Veterans Support Centers of America, will be on hand to talk about the nonprofit in Quantico, Md. which provides shelter for homeless veterans, trains and rescues service dogs and gives back to troops returning home from war. Tickets cost $30 with proceeds benefiting Veterans Support Centers of America, Hometown Heroes and Operation Comfort Warrior with the money staying locally in Maryland, Garlitz said. Last year, $15,000 was raised and donated to wounded warrior charities.
Hometown Heroes supports the soldiers’ family by providing lodging and Operation Comfort Warrior delivers items to military members in the hospital, Garlitz said. After the program, a cordon bleu dinner will be served while music plays and a silent auction fundraiser will be going on featuring gift certificates to restaurants, a vacuum cleaner, free hotel stays and much more. “Local people will have the chance to talk to wounded warriors,” Garlitz said. “An event like this brings awareness to Americans coming back from war who have serious problems.” The 15 wounded warriors visiting Ocean City have various activities planned for their trip including breakfast from the American Legion and VFW, a boat ride and lunch with United States Coast Guard in Ocean
City and a trip to the Veterans Support Center of America near Salisbury. The Harrison Group will be providing complimentary lodging to the wounded warriors while they spend three nights in Ocean City, Garlitz said. Part of the mission statement for Post #166’s Wounded Warrior Gala II Committee reads, “Our wounded warriors need to be remembered and supported by those of us who enjoy the freedoms that they have fought for. They need and have earned our help and it is our duty and mission to do our part to achieve this ongoing effort.” For more information, contact Chairman John Quinn at 443-2359444, johnquinn.oc@gmail.com; American Legion, 410-289-3166 or Garlitz at 443-735-1942, commander166@msn.com.
Delmarva Unleashed hosts second Pooch Palooza, Sat. Continued from Page 51 and organizers are offering $1 off at the gate if festival attendees bring a bag of treats, a toy or a collar to be donated to Worcester County Animal Control. “Worcester County Animal Control is affiliated with the Sheriff’s K-9 Unit and they function as a shelter working to get dogs adopted,” Phillips said. “They don’t have a fundraising arm, like many shelters, so we wanted to help them too.” Pooch Palooza takes place Satur-
day, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Frontier Town, off Route 611 (Stephen Decatur Hwy.) Admission cost $5 per person, $2 per dog and children under 10 get in free. Combination or single tickets can be purchased in advance at PoochPalooza.com or at the gate. “There are canine sports, arcadestyle canine games, canine contests and a canine photo booth,” Phillips said. “The festival is presented for the ‘dogs.’ They are welcome to bring their humans.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Bid adieu to summer as fall season arrives
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) The wind has changed direction as the season bids adieu to the fun and games of summer. Leaves spiral with no particular direction; how I love their free spirit and sense of unconventionality. Frolicking branches sway in anticipation as the stunning pageantry of fall arrives. Change is on the horizon; red, orange and yellow hues will soon come to be. The crispness of the air instantly conjures up the aroma of smoky bacon and its pleasantry. The savory bouquet lingers and allows ancestry to come forward. Staying in the moment seems to be a thing of the past; remembrances highlight the thought of the day. Allow me to take you to a time where complexity and simplicity mingled to the state of one. The 1970s were a time of tumultuous change. Social progressive values such as political awareness, women’s liberation, nuclear activity and anti-sentiments toward the Vietnam War were in the forefront of discussion. The 1970s culture was just as boisterous; a unique blend of effervescent disco, wild hair styles, billowy water beds, and bold color rocked the conservative standard for social acceptance. The transition to memory lane allows me to escape the daily grind of nine to five and place me in a period where blissfulness and spontaneity foreshadow each step of the way. Years of hustle and bustle reduced this remembrance to a mere drizzle of vagueness, but with a little patience my sensory receptors have managed to recapture these moments. Vacations for the Walker family were few and far between but we still managed to go to the Shenandoah National Park every year. I can see my father’s silver Grand Prix slowly making its way up the Blue Ridge Mountains. The preserved park is a wonderment of Mother Nature. Skyline Drive, the road that runs the entire length of the park along the Blue Ridge Mountains, was and still is very popular. Experiencing cascading waterfalls, hiking fascinating trails and taking in breath taking views was the norm for our yearly trip. But what was just as important to me as a young child was heading to the main lodge and having dinner before we headed back to D.C. Food has always been my passion, even as a very young girl.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pickled watermelon rinds unique, have distinct flavor
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
DEMONSTRATING ARTISTS Ben May of Hampstead, Md. was one of a dozen Sunfest participants featured in the Demonstrating Artists’ tent during the 41st annual fall festival last Thursday through Sunday in the inlet parking lot. On Sunday he sculpts a vase as visitors look on, while other pieces are on display.
Continued from Page 53 recall exactly what I ordered but the following is indicative of how Middle America ate at that particular time. The menu in the 1970s reflected traditionalism and straightforwardness. Blue cheese logs encased in dates and walnuts was certainly an appetizer option. Stuffed mushrooms were as standard as they come and of course who could not forget the infamous Watergate salad, and creamy green goddess dressing. Cheesy quiche, elegant pasta primavera and good old fashioned Hamburger Helper to this day still graces the grocery shelves across the country. Fondues were fashionably “in” but gradually left the pages of popularity. Jiggly Jell-O, decadent carrot cake and fruity cobblers reinforced the theme that unpretentiousness is the way to one’s heart. But there was a condiment that I relished in the 1970s which is not readily available in stores today. Pickled watermelon rind is unique and has a very distinctive flavor. The sweet, pickling taste is perfect for fall cookouts and tailgating parties. Adding Serrano peppers adds a twist that gives the dish more depth and enhances the season of fall festivities. Pickled watermelon rind is one of a kind and a must for the serious foodie. Following is a recipe adapted from Bon Appétit. Enjoy!
Pickled Watermelon Rind
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Ingredients 4 pounds watermelon 1 Serrano chili, thinly sliced and seeded 5 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thinly 2 star anise pods 4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 teaspoon whole cloves 1 cup sugar 1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar 1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove and discard tough green rind from watermelon. 2. Slice watermelon 1-inch thick. Cut away but ¼ -inch flesh from each slice; reserve flesh for another use. Cut rind
into 1-inch pieces. 3. Bring chili, ginger, star anise, salt, peppercorns, cloves, sugar, vinegar and ½ cup water to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until salt and sugar has dissolved. Add watermelon rind and return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, setting a small plate directly on the rind to keep it submerged in the brine, if needed. 4. Transfer brine and rind to an airtight container; cover and chill at least 12 hours. 5. Watermelon rind can be pickled two weeks ahead. Keep chilled. Makes approximately 4 cups Secret Ingredient - Patience. “Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is clam.” — Kanuri (West African on patience)

Bishopville cleaning company helps women battling cancer Coastal Property Services teams up with Cleaning For A Reason to offer assistance
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Coastal Property Services will join forces with Cleaning For A Reason to help women battling cancer. The Bishopville cleaning company will service at least two local homes per month for four consecutive months free of charge. “It’s something we can give to a family going through a tough time,” said Coastal Property Services owner Paula Ross. “It makes their day a little easier and it’s a great way to give back to the community and help local ladies in need.” Cleaning For A Reason is an international nonprofit that aids women battling cancer by teaming up with more than 1,200 professional cleaning companies across the United States and Canada. Ross saw the nonprofit mentioned in a Facebook post, thought it would be a great way to give back and soon realized a company in Lewes, Del. was the closest business to Ocean City participating in the program.
After a screening process, the organization informs Ross when a woman in her 30-mile radius is approved and in need of her services. Ross received her first client in Ocean City last week and will start the four-month free cleaning service in the near future. Coastal Property Cleaning Services was established in 2003 to provide cleaning for residential properties on a monthly, weekly or seasonal basis as well as construction areas in Bishopville, Ocean City, southern Delaware and the surrounding areas. Ross has four female employees who clean with her three days a week. Three years ago, Ross’ friend and next door neighbor was battling cancer. “During treatment, we took care of her house and it made such a difference,” Ross said. “It seemed to be the simplest thing to offer, but helped them greatly and when I saw Cleaning For A Reason, it all made sense. It’s such a great idea.” Since 2006, Cleaning For A Reason has donated more than $5.2 million in free services and helped more than 18,000 women with cancer.

WYFCS celebrate 40 years with gathering in West OC By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 2, 2015) Forty years ago, Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services opened its doors with the goal of expanding mental health services on the Eastern Shore. On Sunday, the Berlin-based nonprofit will hold its annual celebration with a look back at all the work during the previous year, as well as a glimpse at the previous four decades. “[WYFCS] was started back in 1975 by community members who were concerned about mental health and resources here in Worcester County,” said CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Director Brigitte Southworth, who has been with the organization for 10 years. “It started with just mental health counseling, and they worked a lot with juvenile delinquents and youth.” Today the organization has expanded to include CASA, as well as the Berlin Youth Club, the Family Connections Program and SAGES and SABERS, helping at-risk adolescent girls and boys. “It’s grown a tremendous amount,” Southworth said. “We have six strong programs, and last year we served more than 1,000 people.” Southworth added that, despite its name, the nonprofit also serves senior citizens in the county. “We don’t just work with children – we work with people of all ages,” Southworth said. “Along with ‘youth and family’ we offer services for our elderly, especially with the Family Connections program that works with a lot of individ-
uals who are over 50.” Programs of the nonprofit receives financial support from the town of Berlin, the town of Ocean City, the Worcester County Commissioners, and local, state and federal grants. During the annual event Southworth said WYFCS would announce new board members, as well as review its latest operational numbers and unveil a new program. “This year we’re also collaborating with Peninsula Regional Medical Center, who are opening up a beds for youth program for mental health,” she said. “They’re coming, just so we can show our support for each other.” The program will be based in Salisbury. Southworth noted that the majority or WYFCS programs exclusively serve Worcester County, although mental health counseling often extends outside county lines, occasionally as far as Delaware and Virginia. The annual celebration will run from 3-5 p.m. at the Francis Scott Key’s Shipwreck Cove at 12806 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City. The event is free and open to the public, and light fare and a cash bar will be provided. “We want to educate everyone about the wonderful things we’re doing here and how we’ve grown,” Southworth said. “All of our programs serve so many people in the area and we just want to get the word out and talk about the need for more mental health services here on the shore.” For more information, or to donate to WYFCS, call 410-641-4598 or visit www.gowoyo.org.

(Oct. 2, 2015) With summer over and fall in the air, there’s time for everyone to explore their inner artist, have some fun and learn something new. The Ocean City Center for the Arts is offering ways to explore the creative side of life with a full schedule of classes designed for beginners, budding artists and experienced artists, as well as for children and families. “Don’t be afraid of art,” said Rina Thaler, executive director of the Arts Center. “Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or sat down with a mound of clay, our instructors will gently guide you through the process, with no judgment except to have fun. You never know what hidden talent you’ll discover.” The Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street is a one-stop community resource for participating in the arts. Organizers have put together a broad schedule of classes for the remainder of 2015, some with holiday inspired themes. Classes are conveniently held during the day, in the evening and on weekends and are taught by experienced art instructors
and artists. This fall, the Arts Center has expanded its offerings to include classes in watercolors, oil painting, drawing, mixed media, glass, fiber arts, jewelry making, photography, pottery and even acting. Gwen Lehman will offer a Theatre Workshop in November. Many of the art classes are social occasions, too. Attendees can eat, drink and create art during Sip & Ceramics where they will hand make a beer stein. Brushes and Bubbly attendees make a step-by-step painting while enjoying beverages and snacks. Multi-day workshops are an opportunity to study an art technique in depth. For example, local painter Lynne Lockhart, who specializes in capturing the ponies of Assateague, will teach a workshop on painting horses in October. A new monthly photography dropin group begins in October with discussions on the works of famous photographers and photographic techniques. Exposing children to art and helpSee CLASSES Page 60

(Oct. 2, 2015) The Town of Ocean City is looking for volunteers for the Ocean City Dune Patrol. These volunteers will be assigned specific dune areas to help keep clean of trash and debris, and inspect the integrity of the fences, crossovers and vegetation. “They are our eyes on the front line,” said Town of Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer. “We are looking for a dedicated group of individuals who take the time to clean
up the dune areas and keep them in presentable condition so that all can enjoy the beach.” The volunteer efforts by the Dune Patrol are a valuable asset to the Ocean City community. The patrol, which performs clean-ups according to their own schedule and availability, are essential in keeping the dunes healthy and stabilized. To join the Dune Patrol or for more information, call Blazer at 410289-8825.

Bishop’s Stock to feature Epstein’s paintings in show
(Oct. 2, 2015) Bishop’s Stock Fine Art, Craft and Wine will feature “Epstein’s Zoological Exposition” in October. A number of years ago when artist Linda Epstein moved from southern Maryland to the Eastern Shore a new world of discovery was opened to her at her farm along the Pocomoke River. As an artist and an outdoor explorer, she started to inventory the wildlife she observed in the byways around her property. After a year of changing seasons she compiled a list of her observations and started a group of small paintings. The result is a wonderful group of wild, farm and domesticated animals plus birds – and a few exceptions from elsewhere painted as small portraits. The show Epstein created uses the format 19th century American painters followed after exploring the American West. With the show, which can be enjoyed by adults and children, it is her desire to stage a true “exposition” to teach those who visit or live on the Eastern Shore the many natural wonders that surround us. The 60 small portraits in the show are done in a style called “luminism” which is known for its soft light which emphasizes tranquility and reflectiveness. Epstein is an accomplished figurative painter having focused on horses and hunting dogs for many years. The show opens with a reception and wine tasting from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2. Bishop’s Stock is located at 202 West Green Street in Snow Hill. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, contact Bishop’s Stock at 410-632-3555 or info@bishopsstock.com.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Rogers, a 2012 Stephen Decatur High School graduate and Ocean City native, is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of a crew working aboard one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, USS Maryland (SSBN 738). He is a sonar technician serving aboard the Kings Bay-based boat, one of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.
SDHS grad part of crew working aboard submarine Rogers sonar technician serving on USS Maryland
(Oct. 2, 2015) A 2012 Stephen Decatur High School graduate and Ocean City native is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of a crew working aboard one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, USS Maryland (SSBN 738). Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Rogers is a sonar technician (submarine) serving aboard the Kings Baybased boat, one of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. A Navy sonar technician is responsible for listening to sounds in the water to determine what kind of ship is out there and what actions need to be taken. “It’s great to meet so many new people within the Navy,” Rogers said. “You build lasting relationships with a variety of different people.” Measuring 560 feet long, 42 feet wide and weighing more than 16,500 tons, a nuclear-powered propulsion system helps push the ship through the water at more than 20 knots. The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as an undetectable launch platform for intercontinental ballistic missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles if directed by the President. The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls. On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days inport for maintenance. “We demand the highest standards from our Sailors – both professionally and personally,” said Rear Admiral Randy Crites, Commander, Submarine Group Ten in Kings Bay, Ga. “Petty Officer Rogers’ chain of command, family and our great nation take immense pride in his devotion and service to his country. “The importance of our Sailors is immeasurable; people like Andrew
Members of the music group Moch Pryderi are pictured in front of the historic iron furnace. They will perform during the 26th annual Chesapeake Celtic Festival, this weekend at Furnace Town Living Heritage Village.
Rogers are absolutely crucial to ensuring our Ships and Submarines are operating at their best – always mission ready, providing our nation with the greatest Navy the world has ever known. I’m so very proud he is on our team,” Crites continued. Rogers is part of the boat’s Blue crew, one of the two rotating crews, which allow the ship to be deployed on missions more often without taxing one crew too much. A typical crew on this submarine is approximately 150 officers and enlisted Sailors. Because of the stressful environment aboard submarines, personnel are accepted only after rigorous testing and observation. Submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain, and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the ship works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniform. “You get a sense of purpose while being deployed and I get to build stability for my future,” Rogers said. Although it is difficult for most people to imagine living on a submarine, challenging submarine living conditions actually build strong fellowship among the crew. The crews are highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Rogers and other USS Maryland sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. “I joined the Navy right out of high school and I’ve learned how to provide for myself,” Rogers added. “I understand what it takes to be financially stable and more responsible overall.”

‘Project 22’ film brings to light veteran suicide
(Oct. 2, 2015) The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, in partnership with the Worcester County Health Department, is proud to present “Project 22,” a feature-length, critically-acclaimed film that brings to light the problem of suicide among military veterans. This film, created by two battle-scarred Marines, is available for screening at no cost to local sponsoring organizations. “Project 22” is an extension of the “Mental Health: Know the Facts, No Stigma” campaign, the goal of which is to improve access to mental health care by eliminating the stigma that prevents many who need it from seeking it. The stigma associated with seeking help for mental health is especially relevant to veterans of the military: 22 veterans die by their own hands in the United States every day. “After tragedy struck home…two combat-wounded veterans set out to end a little-known epidemic in America. Their 6,500-mile cross-country mission was to raise awareness of the high rate of suicide among veterans and to show their brothers and sisters-in-arms that there is hope for them,” according to filmmakers. During their journey, they interviewed researchers, healthcare providers and veterans. Many of those they encountered had either contemplated or attempted suicide and were able to share the lifesaving sources of hope that they had found. Asking hard-hitting questions and opening up about their own struggles, and painfully stirred on by the estimate that 22 veterans are taking their own lives every single day, Daniel and Doc will stop at nothing to reach tomorrow’s 22.” “The young men and women returning from combat have seen and experienced things that are so horrible as to be unimaginable to those of us on the home front,” said Klump Fund Secretary Ron Pilling. “We owe it to them to help them find a way to deal with the horrific scenes that confront them every day, and to help them get beyond the ingrained warrior mentality that is a wall between them and healing. Daniel and Doc do that in ‘Project 22,’ riding their motorcycles across the country in 22 days, and sharing the stories of those who have survived their suicidal thoughts and actions. It isn’t enough to wave flags and hang banners to welcome them home. We must all do more to assure their happiness and safety.” A discussion session led by a Suicide Prevention Outreach Specialist will follow each screening of the film. Information on crisis response resources will also be available. To learn how any organization can schedule a showing of “Project 22,” email weremember@jessespaddle.org.

Commentary
Get ready now, rather than be sorry later
Predicting the possible paths of a hurricane is an extremely uncertain business early in the forecast period, with their multiple lines and varying colors more closely resembling Technicolor pasta than a scientific exercise of any measure. For that reason, people can find themselves ignoring the advice of weather experts and emergency officials for longer than they should by assuming there’s no cause for concern until the situation turns critical. By then, however, it can be too late – too late to take care of the preparations and the planning to keep themselves, their families and, for that matter, their properties, as safe from harm as possible. Look at it this way: if the government announced that a naval warship would be firing rounds at sea on a particular day and there was a 5 percent chance one of those shells might drop here, people would be scattering off to the mainland. If, on the other hand, the National Weather Service were to say there was a 5 percent chance that a particular hurricane would strike this coast, a good many people would shrug it off and adopt a wait-and-see attitude. No, it doesn’t make sense, which is why, as the projected paths of Joaquin wobble, veer and swerve, coastal residents still need to be ready and to follow the advice of Ocean City Emergency Services via the methods listed in the portion of our page one story that is continued on page three. In addition, as Ocean Services Emergency Services has been saying, residents need to prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. A full list of steps to take as a major storm approaches can be found at the federal government website, www.ready.gov/hurricanes. It could turn out, of course, that none of these precautions will be necessary. If so, it’s still better to be ready than to find yourself later wishing you had.

Letters to the editor Thanks to home tour supporters
Editor, On behalf of the Art League of Ocean City, thank you to everyone who made this year’s Sand Castle Home Tour a huge success. Funds from this yearly event provided the initial seed money to construct the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, and continue to provide sustaining funds to support our non-profit mission of promoting the visual arts in the Ocean City area. The tour showcases the many beautiful residential communities in our area as well as the builders, decorators, contractors, restaurants and others who provide amenities, which support our local economy and the arts. We would like to thank Maryland’s First Lady Yumi Hogan for being our honorary chairperson of the 11th annual tour. Her support of this event and of the arts in general is noteworthy and appreciated. Our gratitude to our gracious homeowners: the Greaney, Spink, Cohen, Sauter, Spurrier, Kristick, Kreppel, Smeltzer, Peregoy and Marker families, as well as Marie Karl of the Gateway Grand who opened their doors to their beautiful homes. Our committee, chaired by Katy Durham worked many months to coordinate the tour and kickoff
cocktail party, and we offer them our utmost thanks for making this a premier event in Ocean City. They are: Jamie Albright, Marian Bickerstaff, Phaedra Brown, Emmy Challenger, Stephanie Cohen, Nancy Fortney, Rebecca Galyon, Mallory Hanback, Vicki Harmon, Nic Hills, Merilee Horvat, Linda Kessinger, Frankie Knight, Lisa Kristick, John Lowery, Jan Perdue, Lisi Ruczynski, Erin Swanson, Eileen Stamnas, Cheryl Taustin, Marcy Thiele, Judy Tremellen, Gayle Widdowson, Nadine Wieder, Jacquie Warden, Kim Wagner, Pam White and Adele Zaniewski. To the florists who provided spectacular arrangements for the party and homes: City Florist, Flowers by Alison, Encore Events by Angie Gillis, Little Miss Lovely Floral Designs, Rainbow Florists, Kitty’s Flowers, Ocean Greenery, Ocean City Florist, Beached Butterfly, Flourish Loral Artistry & Design, Ocean Pines Garden Club and Worcester County Garden Club, we are grateful. Thank you to all of the artists who painted the fabulous home portraits: Brigette Bowden, Gerilyn Gaskill, Gail Zinar, Jan Bain, Fay Kempton, Barbara Doyle Schmid, Stasia Heubeck, Kathy Bohs, Becky Simonds, Cheryl Wisbrock and Olivia Smith. Thank you also to Atlantic
General Hospital for providing booties for the tour-goers to wear in the homes, and Sunsations for the tour bags. Our appreciation to our valued media partners: Ocean City Today, Maryland Coast Dispatch, Coastal Style Magazine, Metropolitan Magazine and Delmarva Public Radio, and to the 55 local businesses who advertised in the tour book. We appreciate the support of the restaurants that provided gift certificates for our raffle: Fager’s Island, Sello’s, Sunset Grille, Liquid Assets, Denovo’s, Papa Grande, Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli, The Hobbit and Barn 34. It truly takes a village to run this event, and we are so grateful to the almost 300 volunteers who worked as docents during the tour, many of them who return to help each year and some of them representatives from other non-profits in the area. Finally, to the almost 1,000 people who took the tour, thank you for coming, we hope you enjoyed the beautiful residences of our area and look forward to seeing you at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, and next September for the 12th annual Sand Castle Home tour.

PUBLIC EYE
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher I’m just-a Joaquin in the rain … I have wanted to write that for the past several days, hoping that most people will get it. One cannot assume that, of course, as it is almost inevitable that someone will read it and think, "I'm just-a jokin' in the rain? I'm just-a jowakin' in the rain? I don't get it." The Spanish "J,” as everyone who got it knows, is sort of a multi-letter. It's not just "wah," in this instance, as most native English speakers pronounce "Juarez," nor is it always an "H," as in San Jose. It can be a combination of the two, with the "wah" preceded by breathy "H" of the sort used in "Hey." So Joaquin is pronounced hwah-keen, as in "I'm just-a Joaquin in the rain." For those who still don't get it, I give up, because if there's one thing I do know it's my Spanish "J"s. The beginning of this trail of discovery occurred when a young friend of mine declared with some pride to our crowd of eight-year-olds that he had learned the Spanish name for a male body part. This was of great interest to us in that we didn't even know any real English words for male body parts, having yet to make the full transition
from the various euphemisms that parents like to create (To this day, I have trouble going into a Piggly Wiggly supermarket down south without chuckling. Just saying). And so he proceeded to inform us, this little burr-headed fat kid, by running around and shouting, and I am employing phonetics here, “Kojonz, heh, heh, Ko-jonz, heh, heh, heh, Ko-jonz, heh, ha, hahahahahahaha! Ko…..” I was amazed. Suddenly, I was multi-lingual and I went home to validate this discovery with my father, who, of course, knew everything. As it happened, I would discover later, he also was multi-lingual and was familiar with certain Spanish profanities. He also could lie convincingly if the need should arise. "What does the Spanish word 'kojonz' mean?" I asked after entering the house. "Ko-jonz? Hmmmmm. Wait, wait, it’s..." and he proceeded to explain it to me in great detail. This was fine until a few years later, when another acquaintance began to boast of knowing this exact same word, with the exact same pronunciation. "It doesn't mean that at all," I informed him. "Ko Jones played shortstop for the 1923 Cleveland Indians,

Letters to the editor Editor, The summer of 2015 is now a memory all of us. Visitors have come and gone and for those of us who reside here in OC, we shall once again begin to feel the quiet of this great small town here at the beach. The summer of 2015 also unfortunately was a tragic one for the families and loved ones who either suffered injury or in some cases even death as a result of swimming in the ocean during times when the lifeguards had gone for the day, or after a time in which beaches no longer were being manned by lifeguards. Our local papers I think have done a great job in recent years with publishing rip current information as well as safety directives in attempt-
ing to help educate all who swim in the ocean. Perhaps an additional effort could be considered in the future to deter additional individuals who may wish to swim in the ocean at times when lifeguards are no longer manning OC beaches. One suggestion may be to display flags at beach entrances that read “NO SWIMMING.” Additional efforts, I believe, would capture more of an audience and be a good thing to consider for sure. Whether individuals read the local Ocean City newspapers or not, an adequate and appropriate visual display at beach entrances, I feel is a good measure. Even if one person were to be diverted away from swimming in the ocean during rough conditions at a time when beaches were not manned by lifeguards, it would be worth it. Doug Antos Ocean City
batted .285 and pitched a no-hitter after the regular pitcher was taken off the field after being hit by a meteorite." Unfortunately, I was 22 at the time. It's tough to learn at that period in your life that your father was
messing with you. However, subsequent research did give me the opportunity to redeem myself in a small way on my next encounter with this person. "The ‘J’ in this word is really an ‘H,’ you idiot. Everyone knows that."
