Legionella discovered in city line

Pot illegal just not as much

Residents advised no special steps need to be taken just yet

More lenient law one of 328 new measures in effect as of Oct. 1

The bacterium, legionella pneumophila, naturally resides in rivers, lakes and streams, with one strain sometimes found in potting soil. It is generally controlled in drinking water via chlorination.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) When testing for Legionnaire’s Disease at an uptown Ocean City motel last month, county health officials found something unexpected: the bacterium that causes the pneumonia-like illness might not have developed in the motel’s water system after all, but instead came in through the city’s own water supply lines. Tests of the city’s water supply are under way to determine the extent of contamination by the bacterium Legionella in those lines, following a positive finding for the infection’s presence in a 145th Street fire hydrant. The department conducted that analysis after a pair of visitors at the uptown Econo Lodge later contracted the disease and testing at the motel itself indicated the bacterium’s presence. Although that led to the assumption – and a local television report – that the See TESTING page 4

H Oh what a mess Car rally runs wild, police will adjust tactics for next year

By Clara Vaughn and Zack Hoopes Staff Writers (Oct. 3, 2014) There’s a fine line between “annoying” and “criminal,” and anyone who was in Ocean City this past weekend will likely give you an earful as to just how razor thin it really is. While relatively little serious crime was recorded over the span of this year’s H2O International car show – which does not take place within Ocean City, at least officially – the resort was inundated with complaints of general ill-behavior that came at a bad time for residents, most of whom were anxious to start enjoying the quieter shoulder-season. “It was a nightmare for us

Traffic and behavior problems, but not illegal incidents, led complaints.

as far as delivery,” said Ed Braude, owner of Fat Daddy’s, with restaurants on both Dorchester and 82nd Streets, “but it’s a tradeoff. You can’t be busy and not have traffic.” By all accounts, the event

– known to enthusiasts as H2Oi – saw significantly larger attendance this year than even in years past. “We’re now looking at this event as being one of the largest, if not the largest, in See OCPD page 5

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Gone are the days when local residents could speed by a tow truck on their way to a county Bingo Board hearing. But if you still do, at least you won’t have to worry about that joint in the glove box going on your criminal record. The 328 new state laws that went into effect Oct. 1 run the gamut from decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana – a major step for the state – to the expansion of the so-called “Move Over Law” and the elimination of the antiquated Worcester County Bingo Board Given the volume of lowlevel drug arrests in Ocean City, the decriminalization bill stands to have a huge effect for the resort area. “It’s a true departure from our traditional way of treating the subject,” said Ocean City Police Department Chief Ross Buzzuro. “Our officers have undergone training and they’re well-versed now with the new law.” But while marijuana enforcement may have softer teeth, the state’s “Move Over Law,” which makes it a ticket-able traffic offense to fail to move over a lane or slow down for emergency vehicles on the highway, has been hardened. Motorists will now be obligated to move over or slow See DECRIMINALIZATION page 8

Testing underway on additional water sources City says no reason yet to believe Legionella spread beyond 145th St. site Continued from Page 1 motel was the source of the problem, that might not have been the case. “I don’t know that we’ll ever be able to say, definitively, what the source [of the contamination] is,” said Debra Stevens of the Worcester County Health Department. “Additional sample sites have been identified in that area … we need to see if we can get a better understanding of where the problem is and what further actions the town might need to take.” Results from additional test sites are expected at the end of next week. Until then, the health department is “not recommending” any restriction

on water usage in the city, Stevens said. “We won’t know if there’s a more widespread problem until we get those results back,” she said. In the meantime, the city has “increased the amount of chlorine in the [water] system in order to further safeguard the water supply against the potential of any microbial growth,” said city Communications Manager Jessica Waters. “Our water department is doing additional sampling to determine what notifications, if any, should be made to the public,” Waters said. “It something we obviously take very seriously.” Legionnaire’s Disease is a form of pneumonia, caused by a person inhaling aerosolized water – i.e. water vapor, steam, or mist – that carries the bacteria.

Legionnaire’s is covered under national-level disease reporting standards, meaning that a case reported by any physician across the nation goes through a certain protocol. This includes asking the patient where they may have travelled or vacationed within the infection’s incubation period. If two or more people within a span of two years report travelling to the same location during the time they came into contact with the bacteria, an investigation is triggered.

was confirmed at the Plim Plaza a year before that. In both cases, however, the city’s distribution system itself was not contaminated, unlike the current situation. Even if Legionella is identified at other locations within the city’s water infrastructure, it is unlikely that a “ground zero” location of bacterial proliferation will be found. Legionella is present, to some extent, in many water supplies, but is usually rendered harmless by chlorination or other treatment. However,

Pipes that are not flushed frequently are common sites of Legionella growth and re-introduction to the water supply. “Anywhere that has plumbing structures that have low-flow or dead-ends is prone,” Stevens said. “Again, I don’t know that anyone is going to be able to say definitively where it came from.” Those concerned about exposure can simply refrain from using saunas, hot tubs, whirlpools, and showers – taking tub baths instead – in order to avoid breathing in contaminated water vapors. Although the Econo Lodge and Sea Watch cases resulted in only minor illnesses, the Plim Plaza incident resulted in the death of an elderly woman. A class-action suit by exposed visitors against the Harrison Group was settled last year.

OCPD taxed by high number of H2Oi collisions Continued from Page 1 the Town of Ocean City,” said OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro. “We have 51 weeks to work toward this event next year, and believe me, we’ve already started.” While generally acknowledged to not be pinpoint-accurate, the city’s demoflush numbers, which estimate population based on wastewater flow, were up 12.4 percent for Sept. 27 and 28 this year, versus the last weekend in September 2013. According to OCPD Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay O’Neal, officers and citizens made 2,148 calls for service from Sept. 25 to 28, comparable to 2,207 over the ThursdaySunday span last year. Arrests this year totaled 51 versus 54 last year. But these numbers are well in line with other automotive events. Earlier this year, Spring Cruisin’ logged 2,138 calls for service and 50 arrests over the same four-day stretch, O’Neal reported. Further, these numbers are comprable or lower than any other busy weekend with a younger group of visitors. Over the Thursday-Sunday span of the Dew Tour this year, the OCPD got over 2,400 calls for service. Where H2Oi really stands out is in traffic collisions, with 43 reported. OC Bike Fest, just two weeks prior, saw only 11.

‘I do feel comfortable with the personnel that we have in the full-time force, plus the seasonal officers that are left, as well as the state and county providing enough police presence. What we have to do is take a look at our tactics. We have to make sure that the tactics we implement are going to fit the situation.’ Ocean City Police Department Chief Ross Buzzuro “Obviously, the event proved to be very challenging and very taxing on our resources,” Buzzuro said. “The majority of our field operations were committed to H2O.” Although additional personnel were not called in beyond the already-sizable weekend shift, the OCPD had assistance from the Maryland State Police and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department. “I do feel comfortable with the personnel that we have in the fulltime force, plus the seasonal officers that are left, as well as the state and county, providing enough police presence,” Buzzuro said. “What we have to do is take a look at our tactics. We have to make sure that the tactics we implement are going to fit the situation.” Other than generally heavy traffic, the most severe complaints about the event stemmed not from participants in cars, but from observers along Coastal Highway. Packs of spectators roved the streets, squatting – some-

times literally – on residents’ lawns, and in several cases using megaphones to shout obscenities at passersby. “Enforcement has to be multi-dimensional,” Buzzuro said. “You have to look first at the motorists on Coastal Highway and the concern for public safety there, and then secondly at the sidelines, so to speak, whether it’s public or private property, which we’re very concerned about.”

This year, the department re-introduced the Trespass Enforcement Authorization Program (TEAP), which allows property owners to sign an affidavit authorizing police to enter their properties on suspicion of trespassers and take appropriate enforcement action. The TEAP initiative was specifically targeted at H2Oi, and some of the large, under-used parking lots around town where spectators congregate. “TEAP has been fantastic in terms of police response,” said Nancy O’Mera, director of property management at Continental Realty, which oversees the 94th Street Mall. “The police department was there moving [the cars] out as soon as they got in,” O’Mera said. “This is the one event, out of all the car events, that See VOLUME Page 6

Volume of non-VW spectators limits options Continued from Page 5 cultivates the most people thinking that they can just be in your parking lot.” The fundamental issue with the event is that it is not organized, at least within Ocean City. The show itself takes place at the Fort Whaley Campground, this year being the third iteration of the show to take place in Whaleyville and the 15th year for the show in Worcester County. But the vast majority of participants sleep, eat, and party in the resort. Many do not even go to the H2Oi itself, instead opting to spend their time cruising Coastal Highway. Many long-time participants say that the show itself, which is extremely well-run, by all accounts, has become less and less of a focal point in recent years as the event has be-

‘People see other people doing crazy [expletive] and they want to do it, too, because the people that are doing crazy [expletive] are getting a ton of attention. I think they see their friends getting tickets for this and that (online) and it’s kind of turned into a contest, even though the gist of winning the contest is potentially going to jail.’ Sam Dobbins, a photographer and head of the car-centric media company More Than More

come diluted with hangers-on. A few VW clubs and promoters have attempted to organize events in town in past years, but found limited success due to the increasingly chaotic atmosphere. “Over the last three or four years … we’ve seen a massive group of nonVolkswagen/Audi drivers coming into the city,” said Sam Dobbins, a photographer and head of the car-centric media company More Than More. “Even in 2009 or 2010, you were hard-pressed to find a car that wasn’t Volkswagen or Audi,” Dobbins said. “Now, I feel like you are hardpressed to find a car that is.” A key culprit is social media, which not only spreads word of the weekend to a younger crowd, but has created a sort of “popularity contest” among drivers, Dobbins said. “People see other people doing crazy [expletive] and they want to do

it, too, because the people that are doing crazy [expletive] are getting a ton of attention,” Dobbin said. “I think they see their friends getting tickets for this and that (online) and it’s kind of turned into a contest, even though the gist of winning the contest is potentially going to jail.” Posts under the hashtag “H2Oi” on Facebook back that notion. Though most are photos of trickedout cars, other boast of arrests, and one photo shows a man “surfing” on top an OCPD cruiser. Although they do receive an economic boost from the event, many businesses remain somewhat ambivalent. “We were extremely busy,” said Jill Douglas, general manager of the Hampton Inn on 43rd Street. Although security was kept on for the event, Douglas said only one incident – a broken mirror – was reported

during H2Oi. On the flip side, “the traffic was horrendous,” Douglas said. “It was loud and it was horrible trying to go from 43rd Street all the way up to Fenwick.” “It’s a mess,” Braude said. “I can understand both sides of it … but they still have to be good for the town money-wise.” “It was definitely difficult to try to find vacancies for Saturday,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “It just seems to get busier each year.” A few establishments have tried – unsuccessfully – to organize events capitalizing on the H2Oi. But the impression seems to be that attendees prefer the anarchy. “We tried to make an event and then we realized, they didn’t want us to make it an event,” said Jeff Burton, general manager of the 45th Street Village. “They just wanted a place to park and play.” This year, 45th Street attempted to charge for parking and offer a schedule of events and activities at the center’s restaurants. “Most of the kids don’t want to come up to our restaurants and bars,” Burton said. “They want to sit in the parking lot and party. I don’t know if the problems we have here are worth the money I make off it.”

Three more sign for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 city election; Ashley yet to file Monday deadline to declare for four open seats; Mitrecic to resign for county position By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) With three more candidates filing this week, the November ballot for Ocean City Council is finally competitive. On Monday, non-incumbent candidates Wayne Hartman and Matthew James filed for office. Council President Lloyd Martin filed for re-election Tuesday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more to do,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic plan now in place, I want to be able to see it forward. I feel positive I can do another four years, and do it right.â&#x20AC;? If re-elected, this would be Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth term. Hartman is a long-time developer and owner of 11 rental properties, particularly in the downtown area where he provides year-round employee housing. He serves as Treasurer of the Ocean City Development Corporation as well as on various OCDC committees. Hartman is also Vice-

Chairman of the Worcester County Planning Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to do for a long time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to be here for a long time, and my children have a future in this community as well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a point in my business now where I have the time to serve.â&#x20AC;? James is a Property Manager for the Carousel Group and a sevenyear member of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. He is the son of Carousel Group Managing Partner Michael James and was integral in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaigns for the Maryland House of Delegates and State Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very active on the campaign trail,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed everything that we did. I had a great time and want to continue my political experience.â&#x20AC;? Four council seats in Ocean City, held currently by Martin and council members Brent Ashley, Joe Mitrecic and Margaret Pillas, are open. Pillas announced two weeks ago that she will not seek a third term this November. Additionally, although his seat would not normally open until 2016, See HARTMAN Page 8

Decriminalization will force change of tactics Continued from Page 1 down for tow trucks performing roadside pickups of disabled vehicles, or else face a fine. Further, the state has finally put an end to the Worcester County Bingo Board, formally transferring its authority to the Worcester County Department of Review and Permitting. At one time, county-level Bingo Boards issued permits to non-profit groups wishing to hold bingo games. Some decades ago, bingo was seen as a major gambling enterprise but in recent years, the board has met only twice a year for limited business. Under the new marijuana statute, possession of less than 10 grams of the substance is no longer a criminal offense, but rather a civil infraction punishable by a fine of up to $100 for the first offense. Second offense fines go up to $250, and up to $500 for third and subsequent offenses. While this is not expected to change the OCPD’s overall volume of drug enforcement, Buzzuro said, it will change how these enforcement actions are recorded, since small marijuana violations will no longer involve arrests. For nearly two years, Maryland has had more lenient marijuana enforcement under the “eligible offender” statue. This policy allows

those who have been arrested for certain offenses – including marijuana possession – to be issued a socalled “criminal citation” and released on the spot, instead of being booked at the station, as long as they meet certain eligibility requirements for previous offenses. The citation statute has already caused the number of full custodial arrests, and the amount of marijuana offenders passing through the 65th Street OCPD headquarters, to drop substantially over the past two seasons. But full decriminalization will create a big change for how the department handles drug stops, since lack of a criminal offense may often mean officers have no probable cause for further investigation. “There will be limitations,” Buzzuro said. “A search may not be warranted, because you don’t have an arrest situation. That’s the big example of the departure from what we’re accustomed to. “It’s created a series of challenges for us … we have to look at our strategy and adjust our tactics appropriately.” The possession of marijuana-related paraphernalia, however, still qualifies as a crime. A September 2013 survey by Public Policy Polling found that 68 percent of Maryland voters supported

removing criminal penalties for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. While 10 grams is roughly one-third of an ounce, the Maryland State Police have advised officers in the state to use their best judgment on-scene to estimate weight. Offenders who are arrested, but whose supply turns out to be less

than 10 grams when weighed at the station, are to be released with a fine instead. It has yet to be seen if offenders charged with additional crimes, as a result of marijuana-related search and seizure, will be able to contest probable cause if it is later found that their drugs weighed less than 10 grams.

Per the city’s charter, the fourthplace vote-getter in the upcoming election will fill the vacant two years of Mitrecic’s term. Although he is the only major factor in the race still up in the air, Ashley had not yet decided at press time if he will file for re-election.

The last day to do so is Monday, Oct. 6. Four additional non-incumbent candidates have filed in past weeks – Tony DeLuca, Chris Rudolf, Philip Ufholz and Joe Cryer. Cryer, however, previously said he would likely not seek office due to personal issues. Since the Mayor’s term is only two years, Mayor Rick Meehan will also be up for re-election. Although he has not yet filed, he currently faces no opposition.

City to place new downtown water tower, remove two

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) By 2016, Ocean City’s skyline coming over the Route 50 Bridge will be radically different. The city council approved expenditures this week to design a new million-gallon water tower to be located at Second Street and St. Louis Avenue, intended to replace the two aging water towers at Worcester Street and adjacent to the 15th Street Fire Headquarters. The new tank would be of a more modern, free-standing design without the framework of supports on the downtown tanks. “It would be the same configuration and size as the ones at 64th and 94th Streets,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “Our ultimate goal is that when this is constructed, the tanks at Worcester Street and 15th Street will be demolished.” Combined, the current tanks have a 900,000-gallon capacity, meaning the new tank will provide a marginal volume increase. More importantly, it will provide more efficient flow for both fire service and to prevent water stagnation. “This site, as proposed, improves flow for firefighting in the downtown area,” Adkins said. “It also improves water cycle issues.” The new tank will be cheaper to maintain than the current tanks, both of which are over 50 years old. “If we reduce the maintenance costs for the next 50 years…over that time it almost becomes costneutral,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. The city has already incorporated new water main access to the future tank site into the final phase of the reconstruction of St. Louis Avenue, which will see the road from Fourth Street south rebuilt this winter. “We have a 16-inch water main that is already part of the St. Louis Avenue project in anticipation of this,” Adkins said. “Will the tank be built by next summer? No, but we’re positioning ourselves to not have to go back and dig things up again.” Adkins expects design work to be wrap by this spring, with the new tower erected in the 2015-2016 offseason and the old tanks torn down in the fall of 2016. The $182,746 approved for design services this week – to be performed by Whitman, Requardt and Associates – will come from the city’s Water Department fund, which is financed via user fees independently of the town’s General Fund. Adkins noted that the water tower consolidation could actually give the town’s General Fund a boost. With the Worcester Street tower gone, the city could expand its adjacent parking lot, with an additional $60,000 in annual meter revenue.

City boosts street paving fund by $700K for 2015 Greater share of casino money, loss from tables puts future into question

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) The city’s frequently cash-strapped street repaving fund received a considerable boost this week, with an additional $700,000 allocated to this year’s effort, as well as potential casino revenue-share increases going toward the fund as well. City Public Works Director Hal Adkins asked the council this week to allocate $699,280 out of the city’s General Fund balance to boost this year’s work allocation to the desired $2 million. “As you know, we were unable to attain the desired level of funding at budget time,” Adkins said. “This will position us with a $2 million program and allow Woody [Vickers, city construction manager,] and the staff to continue moving forward with the improvements we started about a week ago.” Although the city is frequently unable to hit its street paving goal during spring budget planning, the council frequently allocates any budget gains realized after close of the fiscal year, June 30, as additional street paving funds for the fiscal year beginning July 1. “We knew [in the spring] that it was less than the target figure, but we knew we could come back to you with additional funding after the close-out of the year,” City Manager David Recor told the council. As of June 30, the close of the 2013-2014 fiscal year, the city was $2.2 million to the black, according to city Finance Director Martha Bennett. Taking out funds for extraneous items the council has already designated in the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the city is still $1.3 million to the good. This money will be above the city’s standing General Fund balance policy, which requests that at least 15 percent of any given fiscal year’s op-

erating costs be kept as a standing balance for use as an operating reserve. In order to keep its aging road infrastructure from falling behind, the city attempts to allocate $3 million annually for street improvements. This year, $1 million of that is in a separate account for the final phase of the St. Louis Avenue reconstruction project. Additionally, Adkins noted the city may be seeing an increase in its share of state-allocated impact revenues from the Casino at Ocean Downs. Per Maryland’s gambling authorization legislation, casinos must share a certain amount of their profits with the local governments who lie in their economic footprint. Previously, the state itself got 18 percent of the profit-sharing. But that policy ceased this year, meaning Worcester County and its constituent areas will be seeing the whole share. “That means Worcester County will be realizing an additional $600,000 annually,” Adkins said, of which 20 percent would go directly to Ocean City. “I would like you to consider directing that toward the street improvement program, although I realize there are many other things competing for your attention,” Adkins told the council. The use of casino impact funds has to be cleared by the Local Development Council (LDC), which has cleared Ocean City passing its share through for municipal street paving. “We have to stay consistent,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “So far, that’s where we’ve directed all those funds, and the local development board has approved that.” At the same time, however, Councilman Joe Mitrecic noted that profit sharing only applies to slot machines, not table games. “Not to burst anyone’s bubble… but if the gaming tables go in the county anticipates a loss of revenue,” Mitrecic said. “They only get revenue from the video lottery machines.”

Pines troubled by foreclosure service stickers Company attempts to change locks on homes that are still above water, brokers say

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Following a bizarre series of events, the community is urging caution after local real estate agents found what they believe to be suspicious stickers on the garage doors of several homes. The stickers, placed in hard-to-see spots by Florida-based firm Mortgage Contracting Services LLC, state that the property “has been determined to be vacant and abandoned” and warns, “This property may have its locks replaced and/or plumbing systems winterized within the next few days.” Ocean Pines Association Board Director Sharyn O’Hare warned the community of the stickers during a meeting on Saturday, Sept. 27. “There’s a scam going on in Ocean Pines,” she said. “They place stickers on the bottom of your garage door in a very inconspicuous place on a home they assume is vacant. And they say, ‘If this home is not vacant, please call this 800 number.’” O’Hare said the real estate company she works for, Prudential PenFed, reported the situation to local authorities. “What I would suggest is, please, we all have neighbors who aren’t here year-round,” she said. “Keep a lookout for those homes and see if you don’t see those funny little signs. It’s a major scam. They’re changing the locks and then they have a way into the house. It’s something we all need to be aware of and the police are

aware.” Doug Galloway, an agent who works with O’Hare at Prudential, was the first to discover a sticker on a company sales listing after receiving a phone call from a locksmith who was contacted by MCS. The locksmith became suspicious when he saw a Prudential brochure box in the yard. “The people who were changing the locks called and said, ‘Is this house vacant?’ And we said, ‘No, we’re settling tomorrow,’” O’Hare said. Meanwhile, Galloway called the 800 telephone number and spoke to an MCS representative named Ryan Hicks. “They weren’t very professional and they were obviously not concerned about it at all,” he said. “They basically said, ‘We don’t need you (that property), we have 2,700 other ones to deal with in Ocean Pines and Worcester County.’ Then they just hung up on us. That’s when we said, ‘Okay, something’s not right here.’” That prompted Prudential Manager Claire McLaughlin to call the police. “They’re just trying to find out if a house is going to foreclosure or possibly even if the house is vacant, but it is a scam,” she said. “I can tell you as a real estate agent that if I was putting a notice on a door that a property was vacant or going into foreclosure, I would put it on the front door, not the lower right hand of the garage door,” McLaughlin continued. “The company may be (legitimate), but I don’t know if this particular branch is. Banks just can’t say, ‘Well, I think the property is vacant, we’re going to change the locks on it.’”

Ocean Pines Association Board Director Sharyn O’Hare provided a scan of the sticker placed on a client’s garage door. Police were contacted after a locksmith was called to change the locks on a property that was not abandoned or in foreclosure.

McLaughlin took the information she had to the Ocean Pines Police Department, which researched the situation online and determined that something was amiss. “If you’ve seen a foreclosure notice or a notice put by a mortgage company, it doesn’t look like this,” she said. “All the agents in this office were told to be careful with this,” O’Hare said. “It happened to one of our people the day before settlement. They were having their lock changed, and the people changing the lock were smart enough to see the brochure box and call the agent. Somewhere something’s not right, because this home was not in foreclosure.” O’Hare called the claim that MCS had 2,700 other foreclosed homes in the area “ludicrous.” “All of my advice is just keep an eye on your neighbor’s home,” she said. “If you see something posted and you know they’re not there, just call the police.” Galloway said he was unaware how many homes faced foreclosure in

the area, but said there it could not be as high as 2,700. “I think the guy was trying to blow smoke or scare me or something,” he said. McLaughlin agreed. “There are not 2,700 foreclosures between here and Berlin, I can guarantee that,” she said. MCS would not return calls for a comment, although Amy Hunt, an agent for Androvett Legal Media and Marketing, provided a statement on its behalf. “Mortgage Contracting Services is a nationwide provider of property preservation on behalf of some of the largest and most respected banks and mortgage servicers in the country,” the statement read. “For almost 30 years, our company has operated in a highly regulated environment – complying with a rigorous system of local, state and federal housing and banking regulations – and has maintained the highest standards of professionalism. If a homeowner feels an MCS sticker has been placed on their home in error, we would encourage them to call the phone number on the sticker and speak to one of our customer service representatives.” Ocean Pines Chief of Police David Massey called the incident “weird” and said he did not know origin of the stickers. “Are those homes that they’re putting them on in fact foreclosures?” he asked. “Are they adhering to what they’re saying? That would be my next question. “Maybe these are legitimate foreclosures,” Massey continued. “I would have to know about which individual property and is it in foreclosure. It could be legitimate, it’s just something new that no one was aware of. I would have hoped they would at least let some local companies know they’re doing this.” Massey asked Ocean Pines residents to report to his department anyone seen placing the stickers. “If someone is doing that, we would want to identify them and find out what their legal business is in doing it, if they’re not trespassing on the property,” he said.

Council seeks more tram advertising for ‘15 City could get $125K/year if Direct Media sells panels on all 16 Boardwalk coaches (Oct. 3, 2014) City Council cast an extremely tight vote this week to move forward with the controversial idea of selling advertising space on top of the Boardwalk trams. Although the city sold ad space on only one coach this past season, which McDonald’s picked up, to test the market, the town could opt to install sign panels on the other 15 coaches for the 2015 season with a projected revenue of nearly $125,000. Council members Dennis Dare, Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas staunchly opposed the idea, while members Lloyd Martin, Mary Knight and Joe Mitrecic were more

supportive. Councilman Doug Cymek “reluctantly” cast the last-second vote in favor of moving forward with additional ad space. Mayor Rick Meehan also supported the idea. “I thought [the advertising panels] looked great,” Meehan said. “I think it’s a great opportunity for people who have businesses downtown. There isn’t a more commercial area in town than the Boardwalk. “When we get down to budget time, $125,000 is a lot of money.” But others believed that the city was sending the wrong message by capitalizing on too many public assets for advertising income. “It cheapens our brand,” Ashley said. “It only adds to the visual clutter. I understand what the mayor is

saying about the Boardwalk being commercial, but I think the trams stand out by not being commercial.” “I think it crosses a line,” Dare agreed. “We’re being hypocritical when we tell the merchants they can’t have a-frame signs out on the boards, and then we go put them on top the trams.” Advertising on all city transit vehicles is sold through a contractor, Direct Media, to gain broader exposure. The agency receives a 15 percent commission on all sales and keeps 35 percent of the profits. The other 65 percent of net proceeds from ad sales go to the town. Although the bulk of sales consist of the laminated wraps found on city buses, council requested last year that Direct Media solicit buyers for tram-top signs. An unsolicited proposal from MGH Advertising, the city’s own advertising agent as well as that of McCormick & Co., the owners of Old Bay, spurred this. The city, however, found Old Bay’s offering price for tram ads too low. According to city Public Works Director Hal Adkins, Direct Media told him the town can expect

$4,000 per tram per month during the summer in ad revenue. This would be roughly $192,000 per season, and roughly $125,000 after Direct Media takes its 35 percent cut. Installation costs of the sign hardware is estimated at $112,500, Adkins said, meaning the city would still come out slightly in the black the first year, and would be looking at pure profit in years following. “I don’t see them being that unattractive,” Martin said. “People have gotten to like seeing the wraps on the buses.” Some suggested the city could give local businesses the opportunity to bid on a number of trams before putting the offer out on the national market to retain some authenticity. “It would give local businesses the opportunity to bid at a better price,” Meehan said. Adkins said public response to the Public Works Department was relatively limited, and mixed. “One fellow said to me, ‘Whatever it takes to keep my taxes down,’” Adkins said, while others implied, “Okay, what are you going to sell next?”

Suspected cocaine A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy found suspected cocaine after stopping a Connecticut driver last Saturday for driving 90 mph in a 55 mph zone near Deer Park Drive in Berlin. An investigation determined the substance belonged to the front passenger, Matthew J. Chaber, 23, of New Haven, Conn., who was arrested for possession of a controlled dangerous substance. The driver, Mateusz A. Byszkowiecki, 24, of Derby, Conn., received three citations for speeding, driving over a reasonable speed and negligent driving. Chaber appeared before the District Court commissioner and was released pending trial.

Parking lot brawl

Check point A Maryland State Police sobriety checkpoint on Route 50 at Riddle Lane, in Berlin, resulted in one DUI arrest, two suspended tag seizures, and one search that lead to an arrest for controlled dangerous substances on Sept. 20. Other law enforcement agencies also conducted saturation patrols — a tactic placing large numbers of officers in a small area — during the operation, arresting four impaired drivers, charging three with posses-

Police arrested an Ocean City couple after a parking lot brawl in the Planet Maze parking lot on 33rd Street last Thursday night. Philip Olesh, 25, and Brandilee Steinmetz, 26, garnered the attention of an officer around 1 a.m. when Steinmetz was walking toward Olesh in an attempt to push him. Each was grabbing the other near the shoulder and neck, pushing and pulling during the scuffle. When the officer pulled his police car beside the couple, Steinmetz yelled, “Look what you did,

it’s the cops.” Olesh admitted to being intoxicated and informed the officer that he didn’t remember what the fight was about or how it started, but Steinmetz said the fight started when he pushed he after leaving a bar. She “kept saying, ‘We weren’t assaulting each other, we were pushing each other,’” the officer reported. Both Olesh and Steinmetz were charged with second-degree assault.

False name Police charged a Willingboro, N.J., man with a slew of traffic violations last Friday after he gave an officer several fake spellings of his name. The officer confronted 21-year-old Gavin Neufville-Wright after he slowed his Volkswagen on Coastal Highway at 50th Street, blocking traffic and then See POLICE Page 16

Police wrapped a recent investigation of building material and scrap metal theft with the arrests of Melvin James Collins Jr, 25, of Pittsville, and Kenneth James Armitage, 23, of Ocean City. Ocean City detectives identified the two using electronic surveillance. During further investigation, detectives witnessed them commit a separate theft outside Ocean City and unload the stolen items at Armitage’s house in the resort. Police executed a search and seizure warrant there,

When asked for his license, Neufville-Wright said it was at his hotel. He provided the last name “Neville-Wright,” which police could not find in the New Jersey system. He then provided the name “NufvilleWright,” also not in the system. “He told me he did not know how to spell his last name,” the officer

said in his report. Eventually, a friend brought Neufville-Wright’s license and the correct spelling. Neufville-Wright received a “plethora of traffic violations,” including negligent driving, spinning wheels, obstructing passage of the roadway, driving as to cause excessive noise, driving without required safety glass equipment, driving an unsafe vehicle on the highway, driving with a window obstructed by a sign and giving a false and fictitious name to an officer.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Ocean City Police charged two men Saturday night after they struck a police horse. Eric Ryan Dudkiewicz, 23, of Norristown, Pa., and Demetrios Xanthos, 26, of North Arlington, N.J., are charged with interfering with a police animal in two unrelated incidents that occurred just over an hour apart. Veteran equine member of the force, Benson, was the victim of both attacks and, per his training, did not return the blows. Both he and Mounted Officer Joseph Laughlin left the incident unscathed, police said. With large crowds gathering in the midtown area during H2O International, a VW- and Audi-centric car show in the area last weekend, mounted officers and police on bikes and in patrol cars were outside the Princess Bayside on 48th Street to control crowds Saturday night. Around 1:15 a.m., Dudkiewicz was walking south on the sidewalk to the left of Benson when he struck the horse and reached under the saddlebag. Officer Andrew Beck was on foot

and grabbed Dudkiewicz by the shirt, arresting him for hitting a police animal. Dudkiewicz appeared drunk, according to Beck’s report. Just over an hour later, the incident nearly repeated itself. Xanthos was walking south on the horse’s left when he struck Benson and reached under the saddlebag. This time Laughlin grabbed him by the shirt and arrested him, reporting he also appeared drunk. With more than a month’s training along the Boardwalk and other busy resort areas, the horses are adept at remaining calm during chaos, said Linsday O’Neal, Public Affairs Specialist for the OCPD. Training involves “exposing them to all the different sights and sounds that they see so they do just what Benson did this weekend: They don’t react,” she said. “Benson is probably our most popular horse and I think it is safe to say that he is ridden more often than the others because he is such a great, well-trained police horse,” she added. Both Dudkiewicz and Xanthos are scheduled to face their charges Oct. 30 in Ocean City District Court.

Meehan finishes Balt. promotion tour for resort Appearances valued at $17K in media exposure

Rodgers and Taron D. Stewart of the Worcester County Jail and Detention Center. In the back row, from left, are Richard E. Blevins, Troy A. Davis, Carl Morton Jr. and Garry A. Taylor of the Wicomico County Department of Corrections.

(Oct. 3, 2014) To help spread the message of an endless summer, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan completed a media tour of Baltimore on Tuesday, Sept.16, generating more than $17,000 in advertising dollar equivalency. The mayor made seven appearances on Baltimore television and radio stations to promote fall travel and remind people that now is the best time to use their vacation days before they go to waste. Mayor Meehan visited five of Baltimore’s top media outlets, WBFF-TV Fox 45, WIYY-FM 98Rock, WJZ- TV CBS 13, WBAL-TV NBC 11 and WBALAM 1090. “September is the perfect time to remind Baltimoreans that summer is eternal in Ocean City. We have some of our best beach days in the fall and we were able to promote great events, golf and more,” Meehan said. “Our Vacation Day campaign is still resonating with people and the media was very receptive and complimentary of our message.” In addition to encouraging guests to take advantage of Ocean City’s many events, Meehan promoted the town as an affordable and accessible vacation destination and encouraged visitors to connect with the town on social media. All media tours are organized by the town’s agency, MGH, and coordinated by Donna Abbott, Tourism Director for the Town of Ocean City.

CPA group lines up against ‘piggyback’ rule Maryland ban on deducting of out-of-state taxes alleged to violate U.S. Constitution

By Steve Lash The Daily Record Newswire (Oct. 3, 2014) An organization of attorneys with accounting licenses says the U.S. Supreme Court must strike down as unconstitutional a Maryland law barring Marylanders from deducting, from city or county taxes, any tax they paid to other states on money earned there. The American Association of Attorney-Certified Public Accountants made its case as the justices prepare to hear arguments Nov. 12 on whether Maryland’s top court correctly ruled last year that the law violates the federal Constitution’s Commerce Clause by discouraging Marylanders from earning money outside the state. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that the state’s ban on deducting taxes on income earned out of state is a regulation on interstate commerce. Under the Constitution, such regulation is the province of Congress, not state legislatures, the Court of Appeals said in its 5-2 decision. In papers filed with the Supreme Court on Friday, the 50-year-old tax attorneys’ association urged the jus-

tices to affirm the Maryland court’s decision that the tax law unconstitutionally restrains interstate commerce. “This is so because Maryland places a higher tax burden on its residents who engage in business outside of the state than that imposed on those residents conducting business solely within the state,” attorney David S. De Jong wrote for the Alexandria, Virginia-based association in its friend-of-the-court brief. “This encourages Marylanders to keep their business endeavors within the state and ‘penalizes’ those who do not,” added De Jong, of Stein Sperling Bennett De Jong Driscoll P.C. in Rockville. “Such is the type of disproportionate tax treatment that the Commerce Clause is designed to prevent.”

The Maryland high court has stayed its ruling in the case, Maryland Comptroller v. Wynne, pending resolution of the state’s appeal to the justices. The Supreme Court is expected to render its decision by June. Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler has defended the law in papers filed with the Supreme Court. States have broad constitutional authority to “tax all income of its residents, even income earned outside the taxing jurisdiction,” Gansler wrote. The Court of Appeals’ decision could cost Maryland’s local governments between $45 million and $50 million annually, Gansler said. If the law is found unconstitutional, Maryland might have to refund up to $120 million in collected taxes, Gansler added in his call for rever-

sal. But attorneys for taxpayers Brian and Karen Wynne told the justices the Court of Appeals rightly held in January 2013 that Maryland’s law is a regulation on interstate commerce. “Maryland has enacted an income-tax scheme that systematically causes the double taxation of those who earn money across state lines,” Dominic F. Perella, a lawyer for the Wynnes, stated in a brief filed with the justices Sept. 19. “Since 1938, this court’s Commerce Clause jurisprudence has invalidated state tax laws that subject a state’s domiciliaries to multiple taxation, or the risk thereof, as the consequences of engaging in interstate commerce.” Perella is with Hogan Lovells US See STATE Page 20

State would have to refund $120M if court appeal lost Continued from Page 19 LLP in Washington. The statute at issue, Maryland Tax-General Article Section 10703(a), allows state residents to deduct from their Maryland tax the income taxes they pay to other states. However, the state says the provision does not apply to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;piggybackâ&#x20AC;? tax the state collects on behalf of local governments. The local taxes for the 2014 tax year range from a low of 1.25 percent of taxable income in Worcester County to a high of 3.2 percent in Baltimore city and Howard, Montgomery, Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Queen Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties, according to the Maryland comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The Wynnes challenged the law after the comptroller said they could not deduct from their Howard County tax bill the $84,550 they paid in income taxes to other states in 2006. The Wynnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out-of-state income was derived from Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownership share in Maxim Healthcare Services Inc., a Columbia company that operates nationwide. The Maryland Tax Court ruled for the comptroller but was overturned in 2011 by a Howard County Circuit

Court judge. The Court of Appeals took the case and ruled for the Wynnes on Jan. 28, 2013. Without the tax credit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a taxpayer with income sources in more than one state will consistently owe more in combined state income taxes than a taxpayer with the same income sources in just the taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home state,â&#x20AC;? Judge Robert N. McDonald wrote for the majority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This may discourage Maryland residents from engaging in incomeearning activity that touches other states.â&#x20AC;? In dissent, Judge Clayton Greene Jr. said the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denial of an outof-state tax credit for city and county taxes is not only constitutional, but also ensures fairness among neighbors, not all of whom might have earned income outside of Maryland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[I]f the taxpayers were allowed to pay a lesser amount of county income tax, it would have the possible absurd result of the taxpayers paying little or no local tax for services provided by the county while a neighbor with similar income, exemptions and deductions might be paying a substantial local tax to support those services,â&#x20AC;? Greene wrote.

Robotics team finds success, new workshop T-Wrecks moving to Snow Hill after winning regional awards

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Worcester County’s newest robotics team topped off its rookie year with a win at the Battle O’ Baltimore in Owings Mills on Sept. 20. Team Titanium-Wrecks’ victory among 32 teams was one of several titles the 23-member group earned since launching last May. The team has also taken home awards including Rookie All-Star at the D.C. Regional competition and Rookie Inspiration at the Chesapeake Regionals. Team members also scored 25th out of 100 in the Galileo Division at the World Championships in St. Louis this spring. “They are so proud of their accomplishments and we mentors simply could not be any prouder,” team mentor Paul Suplee said. Team T-Wrecks started with four members last year, when it opened in a temporary shop in West Ocean City. One of the independent team’s biggest struggles its rookie year has been finding a home base— an issue that will finally go to rest soon as the team prepares to move into its new Snow Hill shop. After leaving West Ocean City, teammates worked out of a Berlin garage last winter, another temporary arrangement. Then, they operated out of four different spots preparing for the Battle O’ Baltimore, making the win even better, Suplee said. “Because we don’t have a shop (right now) we were pulling parts from four different locations,” he said. “When we got there, our robot wasn’t even functional.” But teammates pulled the machine together for the win on a four-team alliance in one of the lowest-scoring matches the judges had seen, Suplee said. Team T-Wrecks will move into the second story of the old Snow Hill Firehouse later this month or early next, after electricity and safety issues are addressed. “It’s really exciting. We were between a rock and a hard place and Snow Hill found space,” Suplee said. In the meantime, the team has some major projects in the works for its off-season, including submersibles that will eventually travel off the coast to catch video of offshore reefs. “We’ve got some really cool proj-

Team Titanium-Wrecks, one of Worcester County’s high school robotics teams, celebrates a win at the Battle O’ Baltimore FIRST Robotics off-season competition last month in Baltimore. More than 30 teams competed and one alliance of four teams won the final round in one of the lowest scoring matches known to the judges, mentor Paul Suplee said.

ects going on. We’re ramping up the fundraising because we want to do air, too. So we’ll be land, sea and air,” Suplee said. That includes the team’s fundraiser at Seacrets on Saturday, Oct. 25, where there will be a $10 buffet and representatives from NASA

on site. Team T-Wrecks will split the proceeds with local charity Believe in Tomorrow. The team hosts public, private and homeschooled students from across the county and has added younger members in recent months, Suplee said.

“We’re getting a lot of young students now, down to seventh grade. Not all robotics teams like that, but we love that,” he said. Visit Team Titanium Wrecks online at www.team-t-wrecks.org or by searching “Titanium-Wrecks-Team4945” on Facebook.

Not too early to start plans for Berlin Christmas Parade Dec. 4 event capped at 80 entries; deadline to register for competition, Nov. 21 (Oct. 3, 2014) Berlin’s 44th annual Christmas parade will be held on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m. The parade officially kicks off numerous Christmas events scheduled for December in Berlin. This year’s parade theme is “Berlin’s Coolest Small Town Christmas.” The parade rain date is Dec. 11. The parade is sponsored by the Berlin Main Street program, in cooperation with the merchants of the town. All costs of conducting the parade are covered by donations from Berlin area merchants and entry fees. Due to the increased costs, most categories will be asked to pay a small entry fee of $10. Commercial entries will cost $25. Due to time constraints, this year’s parade will be limited to 80 entries. Entries are reminded that the parade route will be the same as last year. To alleviate congestion during the line-up of the entries, there will be two entry points. Entrants will be contacted the week of the parade with a line-up number and entry points.

Berlin town staff and volunteers will be located along the route and specific spots to direct entries to their line-up number. The parade will commence at the corner of Powellton Avenue and Main Street and conclude at the corner of South Main Street and Tripoli Street. Categories for the parade include adult and student sponsored floats, adult and children’s marching and performing units, fire companies, commercial units, vehicle clubs, motorcycles, antique cars, school bands, ROTC marching units and crowned youth. In each category trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place. Individuals or organizations wishing to participate the parade must submit entry forms no later than Friday, Nov. 21. No entries will be accepted after this date. For more information about participating in the parade, contact Megan Houston at 410-973-2051, JoAnn Unger at 410-641-3858 or Sharon Timmons at 410-629-1716. The Santa at the end of the parade is the only Santa Allowed. No candy or other items are to be thrown from any participants during the parade, if so they will be disqualified from completion and not be invited to participate next year.

Realtors urging caution after murder of Arkansas broker (Oct. 3, 2014) The death of a 49year-old Arkansas realtor, who vanished last week after showing a home, has the Coastal Association of Realtors reminding local professionals to stay on guard and make safety a priority. The body of Beverly Carter, married 34 years with four grandchildren, was found early Tuesday morning in a shallow grave near Cabot, north of the Little Rock area. Arron Lewis, 33, of Jacksonville, has been arrested and will be charged with kidnapping and capital murder. As Lewis was escorted out of jail to a waiting police car on Tuesday, he told reporters that he did not act alone and they chose Carter because she was a “rich broker.” “Beverly’s death is a horrible tragedy for her family and friends and for our profession,” said Sheila Dodson, executive director of Coastal Realtors. “Realtors face many safety concerns just doing their day-to-day jobs, including meeting unknown clients one-on-one at property showings.” To ensure the public understands recommended safety procedures utilized by realtors, the following are guidelines put in place by the Na-

tional Association of Realtors. The public is reminded that these practices are designed to protect the client as well as the realtors. Realtors are encouraged to: Invite new clients to stop by their office and complete a Prospect Identification Form, available at www.realtor.org; Get the client’s car make and license number, as well as a copy of their driver’s license; Introduce the prospect to someone in their office; Always let someone know where they’re going; Always carry a charged mobile phone. If realtors transport the client in their personal vehicles, they should: Call the office in the client’s presence, before the client gets into the car; Tell the office what they’re doing, who they’re taking and where they’re going; Say “no” if they feel uncomfortable. In Beverly’s honor and in recognition of September being Realtors Safety Month, Coastal Realtors will be offering safety courses for its members.

Town gives Day warm sendoff for retirement Departing architect of ‘cool Berlin’ campaign described as ‘hard to replace’

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Berlin staff, merchants and members of the public met at Town Hall Wednesday to sendoff retiring Economic and Community Development Director Michael Day. Day, who announced his retirement in April, said he was surprised by all the fanfare. “It’s very nice. It’s embarrassing, but I’m glad people wanted to do it,” he said. “There was nothing like this when I first came here – I just came to work and started the job.” Since Day became the full-time economic development director in 2009, the town experienced an almost unprecedented resurgence, capped by being named “America’s Coolest Small Town” earlier this year. “It’s been very positive,” he said. “I’m thrilled to have been a part of it. Everybody congratulates me for what’s happened, but it’s really not me – it’s me getting a lot of folks on the same page. “We had to figure out our goal and we went for it together. There’s a lot people who helped this town

change in a positive direction.” Day said he would continue his involvement in Berlin. “I’m going to see what else I can come up with, sell my wife’s stuff and keep on moving forward,” he said. “I plan on volunteering in Berlin, even though some people say I probably won’t. They have a lot better events here than they do in Salisbury, so I’ll probably be over here following Mike Wiley around.” Wiley, who works with the Church Mouse thrift shop in downtown Berlin, said Day would be missed. “He’s done an excellent job,” he said. “It’s a tough role to follow. I enjoyed working with him. I’ve helped him with different projects, and it was nice to have someone almost my age to hang with.” “I think very highly of Mr. Day,” said Human Resources Director Jeffrey Fleetwood. “He’s got an attribute that I like – when he tells you something he means it, and when he means it he does it.” Deputy Town Administrator Mary Bohlen said it would be hard to replace Day. “The transformation of the town since he’s been here is remarkable,” she said. “It’s going to be difficult to replace him. Luckily he’ll be around for a little while to help us out.” Town Administrator Laura Allen

say Day has done “an amazing job for the town.” “He’s put us on the map,” she said. “He helped us win America’s Coolest Small Town, which was no small feat. He has garnered the town thousands of dollars in free advertising and significantly changed our summer experience. Our merchants are earning, they’re seeing substantially more sales, we’re seeing a lot more people. It has really made a difference in the energy that you feel when you come

to the town. We don’t know how far it’s going to go, but our expectation is that it’s going to extend through the fall. “Michael’s also given us sort of a rich perspective on how we do business and has really encouraged the businesses to work together in a way that I think has benefited everybody,” Allen continued. “You see a lot more cooperation and collaboration – rather than competition – which has made our downtown very strong.”

Outreach planned for second year of health insurance (Oct. 3, 2014) The Lower Shore Health Insurance Assistance Program is ramping up outreach efforts in preparation for the second year of open enrollment for Maryland Health Connection, the state’s health insurance marketplace. The Worcester County Health Department was awarded a grant from the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange to implement a program to help educate, determine eligibility and enroll uninsured residents of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties into private health plans or Medicaid. Open enrollment of the new state system, MarylandHealthConnection.gov, launches in mid-November. All consumers shopping for health insurance on the exchange for the 2015 calendar year — even those who currently have a qualified health plan through the exchange — should re-enroll between Nov. 15 and Dec.18 in order to compare plan prices and receive an advanced federal tax subsidy that could significantly lower their costs. Local, certified staff are scheduling appointments for people who want assistance with the health insurance renewal process. Contact the local call center at 855-445-5540 See PROGRAM Page 26

Berlin election decided as no write-ins emerge Passage of deadline means Burrell, Gulyas and Purnell win seats without contest

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) In a not-so-stunning turn of non-events, the write-in candidate deadline for Berlin Town Council passed Tuesday, without any new developments. Three candidates filed for the three available seats on town council before the Tuesday, Sept. 9 ballot deadline, and all three remain officially unopposed. Troy Purnell and Dean Burrell filed to keep their District 1 and District 4 seats, respectively, and businessman Thom Gulyas filed to take over the at-large seat vacated by re-

tiring councilmember Paula Lynch. Due to a rule change passed last year, the Town of Berlin will cancel the election and declare a winner if a candidate has no opposition. Those not registered to run by the ballot deadline may still run a write-in campaign, but must declare their intent to do so by a certain date in order for the election to not be cancelled. With no write-in candidates coming forward as of Tuesday, Purnell, Burrell and Gulyas have essentially already been elected. Berlin will swear in candidates on Oct. 27. “I’m excited,” Gulyas said. “The campaign actually went quite well. I had a lot of people say that they’re glad that I have taken the time to throw my hat in to serve the town. I’ve not seen anyone who said, ‘Geez, I can’t believe you’re running.’ I really

haven’t. I actually talked to a couple of friend who had wanted to run, but decided against it once they saw that I had stepped up. They were glad that somebody stepped up and we’re going to continue with the really good work that this council has been doing all along.” Gulyas unsuccessfully ran for Berlin council six years ago against District 2 Councilmember Lisa Hall. “Obviously there was much less competition this time,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot more being in town longer.” Although he moved his family inside the town limits in 2006, Gulyas’s business, ACE Printing and Mailing, has been a staple of Berlin for nearly three decades. “I’m third generation Gulyas in Berlin,” he said. “I can remember

going to vote as a business owner long before we moved back here.” Asked about taking over for Lynch after 26 years of service, Gulyas said he hoped he could do her seat justice. “I’ve talked to Paula privately and I’ve asked her, if I ever have any questions can I come see her? Just in Paula’s way she said, ‘well I don’t know what good I’ll be, but sure you can come down,’” Gulyas said. “As I’ve said since the beginning, I’m not running on the pretext that I have all the answers and I know everything – by far I do not. But I do know where to go find them, and I think that’s more important.” “I intent to sit down, do my homework, vet everything that I possibly can before a decision is made,” Gulyas continued. “I may not always be with the rest of the council – I don’t know, and I won’t know until that vote comes to fruition. But I will do my homework, and I’ll make sure that before I make a decision on anything that I’ve done the best I possibly can to ferret out all the information to make that decision. And that’s important.”

Hazardous, e-waste disposal scheduled for Oct. 11 in Wor.

(Oct. 3, 2014) The Recycling Division of Worcester County Public Works, in conjunction with Maryland Environmental Services and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), will conduct Household Hazardous Waste and E-Cycling Collection Day on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Showell Elementary School parking lot. Old or unusable cans of pesticides, pool chemicals, gas and other fuels, oilbase paints, thinners and everyday hazardous wastes should go to the recycling center for safe disposal. Electronic items such as computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, radios, televisions and VCR’s will be collected and later recycled. Household hazardous waste and electronics don’t degrade readily and recycling them saves much-needed landfill space. Many of the items also contain poisonous materials that could seep out of the landfill and contaminate surrounding soil and groundwater. Proper disposal of these items is one of many simple tasks that helps protect the environment and human health. The event is open to Worcester County residents only. A representative from MDE will be on-site checking vehicle registration. Clean Ventures of Baltimore will be responsible for the safe disposal of all hazardous waste collected. The electronics will be shipped to an electronics recycler for dismantling. For more information, contact Worcester County Recycling Manager Ron Taylor at 410-632-3177.

Friends remember Peppers owner Denny-O

(Oct. 3, 2014) Dennis King, more affectionately known as Denny-O, died at age 63 Monday, Sept. 29 of heart-related illnesses. The owner of Peppers Tavern on the Boardwalk and Peppers in West Ocean City, Denny-O cut a large swath through local folklore as a hard-partying, hard-working and affable person. “Let’s pound one down and go get a Irish Car Bomb” (a questionable alcoholic concoction of high potency) was a frequent rallying cry he was known to issue. Having moved to the Eastern Shore from the Washington D.C. area for business opportunities in this area, Denny-O found his way to Ocean City in 1979 and to what was then the Irish bar McGee’s under the Shoreham Hotel, where he began a lifelong friendship with owner Buck Mann and set about creating his own legend. As huge as he was honest and occasionally profane, Denny-O became one of those people who no one, upon meeting him, would forget. Here is what some of them had to say on Facebook this week and passed along to Ocean City Today. Doug Rupple: I’m gonna miss you, Denny. Heaven just got one funny dude! Just everyone loved Denny. He always had a story and a smile for you. Al Haley: You were one of a kind, buddy, and touched many with your kindness, humor, generosity and love of life! Rest in peace Denny-O, you will be sorely missed my friend! Jen Judd and Dawn James: We have very heavy hearts today as we heard of the passing of a local icon here, Dennis King, Denny-O from Peppers Tavern West OC. We hadn’t seen or talked to him recently, but he is definitely someone once you met with him you would never forget. One of the last times we ran into Denny he was stuffing the Peppers truck for charity in front of Super Fresh, which showed his big heart. He was a very funny and passionate man. We only barely knew you and you impacted our lives but we know you will be missed by so many in OC… Ron Gunther: Incredibly saddened by the sudden loss of our friend Dennis King, owner of Peppers Tavern in OC and West OC. The first time I met Denny, I commented that I had never gotten such a heartfelt “thank you” from a bar/restaurant owner. Denny’s friendly manner and his awesome food made Peppers in WOC our “go to” spot. You knew Denny was in a great mood when he bought the house shots of fireball. I’ll miss your jolly laugh and our Towson football conversations. Rest in peace. As much as I love the food at Peppers, a visit there just wasn’t complete without seeing Denny. David Cooke: God bless and rest in peace my good old friend. Always a good, hardy laugh from you. No one can deny Dennis was one of the good ones! Even though I haven’t seen Dennis since our HS and a couple reunions long ago, he was such a friendly character that stays with you forever.

I wish I could be there for his sending off. He would’ve only wanted people to smile and be happy, not sad. He only lived for that, his death should not change it. God bless him! Bev McCloskey: RIP Denny-O. You leave behind many fond memories of our times together but one that sticks in my mind is when you walked in Peppers Tavern many times and yelled “the Pells are here, let’s pound a Guinness.” You will be truly missed! Kathy Panco: He had the biggest heart of any man I know and was the funniest person I have ever known. Will never forget the trip to the Bahamas, two planes of OC characters, and all the fun we had, particularly at the Gong show when you did Hambones and then the big scuttle at the bar. You are an Ocean City legend and we will miss you! He was a gentle giant who had the biggest heart in the world and made me laugh so hard that my eyes would leak with joy. Kimberly Pierce Greenway: It won’t be the same coming down to OC. You were always so kind and generous to everyone. So very sad that such a wonderful man died way too soon. We will miss you Denny. He was just an incredible person that I very much looked forward to seeing every time we came down to the shore. We tried to get down as often as we could, even in the winter, and Peppers was first on See CHURCH Page 30

Eileen McFaul Gunther: He was a wonderful man who touched so many lives with his gentle hands. He will always be remembered. The Shore Sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts are broken, and we will never forget the man who knew us by name and thanked us every time we came to Peppers for his amazing food. Surely, we will meet him in heaven and it will be our turn to buy him a fireball shot. Rest in peace, Denny-O. Dave Szimanski: You were part of making Ocean City a fun place to visit. You loved your customers and they loved you. You left way too soon and yes, Denny-O, you will be so deeply missed my friend. R.I.P. We are all so sad for the loss of this gentle giant Ocean City icon! A few weeks ago, we were having drinks at the bar, Denny-O called from his hospital bed and told the bartender to pour shots on the house from the owner! What a great guy he was. Â John Parker: RIP Denny-O and our condolences to his family and friends. A visit to Peppers to see Denny-O was a must on every trip to Ocean City. In fact, multiple trips to Peppers for every trip to OC. A great guy, business owner and human being. You will be missed my friend. Here is to you, cheers. Jim Backoff: Denny-O made me feel like Norm on Cheers every time I walked into Peppers on 611. We became friends and he will be missed. I worked two years at Castaways RV OC and spent several days a week at Peppers with him and Amy and the best chef in the world. Renee Kleindienst Sechrist: Denny-O was one of the kindest business owners/friends we have known. He was always happy to see us when

we walked in the door at Peppers in West OC. Always offered to buy us a drink. He will be so missed by many. Dorie Sheldon: Denny, you will be missed by Bob and I and our family. You were a part of our family. Great personally and a wonderful friend and a warm and friendly bar and restaurant. We are in shock! RIP. Ryan Abbott of the band, Phantom Limbs: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say this about Denny-O: When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be cleaning upÂ Peppers TavernÂ after an evening of epic consumption, we felt like he was our dad. On one hand, we were afraid of him and his judgment because of the bacchanal affair the night before, evidenced by the scattered pieces of mic stands and tangled cables. But on the other hand, we shared an acknowledgment that fun happened and fun was the most important thing. He did right by us. And his place, the legendary Peppers Tavern, is a testament to that.Â He may not have been punk rock, but he trusted J. Frank to build a temple for those of us who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in with the vanilla cover scene that is the rest of Ocean City. Without â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tavern,â&#x20AC;? so many of us would still be lost misfits. And even though we still are those lost misfits, because of the Tavern, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of it, because we had a place to share it, and a place to scream it. Thanks, Denny-O, you jolly old bastard, you. Make sure you open up a nice country western breakfast place on the other side, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come class it up for you when we get there. Until then, I promise to grab all the gear tomorrow. Friends may visit with the families at Burbage funeral home in Berlin, on Monday, Oct. 6, from 6-8 p.m. A church service will be held Tuesday, Oct. 7, at noon at Holy Savior Catholic Church on 17th Street. A reception will follow at Peppers Tavern, 15th Street on the Boardwalk.

She was born in Kulpmont, Pa. and was the daughter of the late Flory and Mildred (D’Alexander) Guarna. She had been a cashier for CVS and a member of St. Luke Catholic Church in Ocean City and the Ocean City Senior Center. She is survived by two daughters, Lynn Benner of Lufkin, Tex. and Mary Matthews and her husband, Mark of

HAZEL M. KEISTER Ocean Pines Hazel M. Keister, 95, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 24 2014, at Costal Hospice in Salisbury, Md. She was a gentle woman, kind and quiet with a wry sense of humor. Extremely independent! Born to Charles and Mabel Zettle, July 25, 1919, the second of Hazel M. Keister seven children. Surviving is brother Richard Zettle of Farmers Mills, and two sisters Miriam Snyder of Spring Mills and Joanne Scitti of Aaronsburg, one daughter, Jean Crust, of

Ocean Pines, Md., two grandchildren, Adam Crust of Nashville, Tenn. and William Crust III of Nittany, Pa., one great-grandchild, Kaley Crust also of Nittany, Pa. She was married to William Keister who passed away at the age of 49. Other siblings no longer with us are Inez Wise, Nevin Zettle and infant Donnie Zettle. What a wonderful and interesting life she had! After high school, she worked as a maid at the Nittany Lion Inn, and at the Silk Mill in Spring Mills, at Sylvania in Mill Hall and finally at Piper Aircraft in Lock Haven where they taught her drafting. She said many times how much she enjoyed her 27 years at Piper. A tomboy of sorts, she enjoyed chores and hobbies that brought her outside, raising sheep and she was an avid golfer into her 80s. She especially enjoyed playing at Belle Springs Golf Course. Most likely coming from being the second born and ‘go-fer’ for her father who was a carpenter and farmer, who also taught her how to read blueprints which more than likely led to her eventual career as a draftsman. She was remembered for owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle in her early 20s. The stories she and her brother, Dick could tell! She was an avid bowler in her midlife, playing in two leagues in Lock Haven for years. No domestic stuff for her! They were just a unwelcome nuisance to be endured. See OBITUARIES Page 32

OCFD reminds citizens to check smoke detectors

(Oct. 3, 2014) Working smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, the Ocean City Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5-11, to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home and testing them monthly. According to the latest NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. “In a fire, seconds count,” said David Hartley, Fire Marshal for the Town of Ocean City. “Roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 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.” 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. -Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. -Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. -Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or 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. To learn more about smoke alarms and “Working Smoke Alarms Saves Lives”, visit NFPA’s website at www.firepreventionweek.org.

County and local officials grab a shovel to break ground on the new Delmarva Health Pavilion in Ocean Pines on Thursday, Sept. 25.

Delmarva Health Pavilion coming to Ocean Pines

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) In a sparse field with just a few mounds of earth, with a little wooden framework visible and couple of empty front loaders standing by, county and local officials huddled under a tent on a rainy Friday last week to break ground on a new 20,000-square-foot health care complex. The ceremony on Route 589 near Racetrack Road in Ocean Pines introduced area health care professionals and members of the media to the Delmarva Health Pavilion. Peninsula Regional Medical Center will anchor the new complex. “We are really, really pleased to bring to this community a regional health care facility that’s looked upon in this area as a high-profile, excellent deliverer of health care and bring it directly to this community of Ocean Pines,” said developer Palmer Gillis of the development and construction firm Gillis Gilkerson Gillis began eying the property more than 10 years ago and later went on to co-develop complexes in Woodbrook and Millsboro, Del. with PRMC. “It’s kind of exciting to me to actually see the progress we’ve made so

PRMC President and CEO Dr. Peggy Naleppa said the new Delmarva Health Pavilion in Ocean Pines was “consolidating the Berlin and Ocean Pines families and our medical practices.”

far, and to also be able to have such a quality occupant for this community,” Gillis said. Speaking on behalf of PRMC, President and CEO Dr. Peggy Naleppa told the audience that the company is a long-term partner with the medical center. The complex merges existing PRMC health care services, including a pair of family practices. “As part of this, we’re consolidating the Berlin and Ocean Pines families and our medical practices,” Naleppa said. “Year after year they’ve been served very well on the medical side, but those patients, particularly

in the Ocean Pines community, have written letters that said, ‘Can you please do something to help with the facilities at our offices?’ so this will certainly honor that request.” Naleppa touted Delmarva Health Pavilion as offering Ocean Pines and Worcester County residents a “onestop” option for health care. “It may be rainy today, but our vision is very clear,” she said. “We have been in this community for over 25 years. We have a legacy and history with this community that’s extremely important to us. “We know that health care is See DELMARVA Page34

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Are all real estate websites created equal? Do you prefer to use Zillow, Trulia, your local realtor’s website, or maybe Realtor.com? As a consumer, you have choices, and that’s good. But when you are purchasing commodities, you want quality, and you should demand the same when you are seeking information. Obtaining real estate related information from the source—that is, directly from local Multiple List Services, is an important piece in ensuring that the information you see online is accurate and timely. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) source for online real estate info is Realtor.com, operated by Move Inc. The Realtor.com website pioneered online real estate and was No. 1 in that space for 15 years. But, in recent years, Internet startups such as Zillow and Trulia, succeeded in eroding the site’s share of consumer loyalty. NAR issued a news release recently to announce an important development in the history of Realtor.com. NAR has been making changes to regain momentum and win back market share for Realtor.com, and it was announced this week that Move Inc. is going to be purchased by News Corp. News Corp is the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and other business and consumer titles and websites. News Corp is also a majority owner of the REA Group, which is the operator of the leading Australian residential property website. As reported, the company’s purchase of Move Inc. will help accelerate Realtor.com’s climb back to No. 1 in the online market. The news release stated, “News Corp’s ability to reach and engage consumers, combined with Realtor.com’s quality content and the real insights REALTORS® provide will transform the current landscape.” Lauren Bunting is a licensed realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc. serving Worcester and Wicomico counties.

Continued from Page 33 changing dramatically,” Naleppa continued. “We know that it’s moving outside of the walls of the hospital, and this complex is an example of how it’s moving outside of the walls and into the outpatient or the ambulatory arena. We can no longer build a hospital and expect people to come to us. We need to go to the patient, and that’s important for us.” The first phase of planned health care services includes laboratories, diagnostic services, pharmacies, home care and cardio-vascular and

pulmonary rehab services. “That’s just the beginning,” said Naleppa. “The need for a wide range of health care services and chronic disease management – it isn’t just one-touch anymore when they come to the hospital. It’s holding their hand from the time that they’re born at our facility to the time that they transition to another setting. We want to hold that hand all along the way, and that’s why this is so very important to have that touch with the patient.” The Delmarva Health Pavilion is set to open in spring or summer 2015.

Jason Budler, owner of Damokee Vapor in Ocean Pines, said he was initially skeptical of the product. “The biggest difference between vapor and the patch or the gum is the throat hit,” he said. “I like smoking – I like the act of smoking – so this really got my oral fixation needs and my throat-hit needs and everything that goes along with that.”

Shop offers alternatives to traditional tobacco products By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Locally owned and operated, Damokee Vapor is the latest area shop to offer modern alternatives to traditional tobacco products. Opened in September, the Ocean Pines shop sells e-liquids, mods (the modules that hold the other elements) batteries and tanks. Owner Jason Budler said he was initially skeptical about vapor products. “About two years ago a friend of mine came into work with an electronic cigarette and at first I made fun of him for the way it looked and I didn’t think it was going to work for me,” he said. “I tried the patch and gum and everything they had out and it just wasn’t working for me. Then I tried exactly what he had and it worked great. Two years later I decided to put my money into something good that I hope is going to help a lot of people around here.” Budler said he prefers vapor to ecigarettes.

“I tried those little blue cigarettes when I was trying to quit and it just didn’t work for me,” he said. “The battery life isn’t there, the vapor reduction isn’t there. If you compare it to some of the more advanced stuff now, it just blows it away.” “Vaping” reduces carcinogens and tar associated with smoking and allows users to manage their levels of nicotine. “You can control the amount you get and drop it down as you like,” he said. “But the biggest difference between vapor and the patch or the gum is the throat hit. I like smoking – I like the act of smoking – so this really got my oral fixation needs and my throathit needs and everything that goes along with that.” Initial costs can range from $25 to $120. “The initial upfront cost I compare to a carton of cigarettes,” said Budler. “After that, it costs me maybe $12 a week of just buying the coils and the See DAMOKEE Page 35

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) The nearly $50 million price tag of a new school became an election issue when several acting and prospective Worcester County Commissioners questioned the cost during a candidate forum on Sept. 17. The 100,000 square-foot Showell Elementary replacement school, currently in the early stages of planning, boasts an estimated total cost of $48.9 million, including a feasibility study and architectural and engineering design costs. The county estimates the total construction cost at $37.5 million. Built in 1976 and modified in 1990, Showell Elementary accommodated students from preschool classes through fourth grade. Because of overcrowding, the county relocated the entire fourth grade to Berlin Intermediate School in 1999. Congestion also affected the second grade class, forcing students into nine portable trailers behind the main building. Current enrollment at Showell Elementary is 568. The replacement school would hold up to 642 students and return the fourth grade.

Board of Education Facilities Planner Joe Price estimated the completion date as summer 2019, “if the project receives a green light at every step in the process for the next two years, without any interruptions to the estimated timeline.” District 6 Commissioner Jim Bunting said during the forum that he spoke with officials in North Carolina who said their new high school cost $57 million – and held 2,500 students. “The state requires us to spend a lot of money that I think is unnecessary for these buildings,” he said. “We don’t need to build Taj Mahal.” Price balked at the comparison. “We cannot speak to the factors affecting school construction in North Carolina, any other state, and even other Maryland school construction projects,” he said. “There are a number of factors, including availability of trade contractors, affecting the costs in each jurisdiction.” Price said each state and jurisdiction have specific building codes. Worcester County, for example, must comply with codes associated with high winds because of its location within a hurricane zone. Still, schools of a similar size and grade range seem to cost far less. In 2009, the California Department of Education released a study

on construction costs per school in the state. The average elementary school with 600 people cost $10 million, middle schools with 1,000 students averaged $18.3 million and the average high school with 1,800 students cost $39.4 million. In Virginia, the state built two new elementary schools during the 201314 fiscal year. Combined, the two schools hold more than 1,500 students and cost $ 52.5 million. In Wicomico County, the new Bennett Middle School, holding 968 students, had a construction cost of $31.3 million. District 5 Commissioner Candidate Tom Wilson, a Democrat, defended the price tag of Showell. “Realistically we’re building for 50 years into the future,” he said. “I don’t think it pays to scrimp and save to cut back on technology and make a cheaper, lower-quality building when we’re building something that’s going to be there for our kids – our children and maybe their children – 40 or 50 years into the future.” Still, Wilson admitted he would prefer to see a more detailed cost analysis. “My background is financial management and budget – I was finance director for the Peace Corps for five years,” he said. “We probably do need See LABOR Page 37

Labor costs, state requirements drive up project price tag Continued from Page 36 to do more thorough cost analysis, and I’d be happy to help with that. But I’m not going to make an off-thecuff judgment that this is too expensive by looking at some random school in California or Virginia.” Chip Bertino, the Republican challenger in District 5, said he supported the new school, but was alarmed at the cost. “I think anytime we’re spending $48 million it needs to be scrutinized,” he said. “I want to see a new school for Showell. Having said that, I think it’s important we scrutinize the numbers. “Forty eight million dollars is a heck of a lot of money for a grade school,” he said. “I think less could be spent, but before I say that specifically I’d want to be able to scrutinize what actually is included in that $48 million.” District 4 Commissioner Virgil Shockley also was “a little shocked” by the price tag. “I was thinking we could stay under $40 (million),” he said. “I don’t know what amount the state is going to end up paying for that.” Shockley said the state adds approximately $3 million in costs because of green mandates, most of which the county already follows. Showell might be the latest school to need a facelift, but several others in the county will need new construction or renovations in the near future, and Worcester County will again foot the vast majority of the bill. Stephen Decatur Middle School is set to receive $9.2 million in improvements, including adding 20,000 square-feet to the existing school, which currently uses nine portable trailers as classrooms. Pocomoke Middle School needs $2.8 million in renovations to replace its roof, which received a fair/poor rating during a 2013 inspection. Snow Hill Middle School also needs a new roof, estimated at $3 million.

Our feathered friends aren’t so fine these days

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) A recent national study is not for the birds, but is about the birds and is for the people who like them, study them and want to protect them, as drops in the populations of some species have become more pronounced. The “State of the Birds” report came out last month, combining the forces of 23 federal government, university and conservation groups that make up the U.S. Committee of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative. The report’s authors call the results unsettling, but as Dave Wilson, executive director for Maryland Coastal Bays Program put it, “It depends on the species. The ones that are having problems — those were already in decline,” Wilson said. “The ones that were doing well are doing great.” See CLIMATE Page 40

A good time is brewing in resort Twenty area companies will pour their creations during annual Beer Fest

Stately herons, acrobatic skimmers and secretive rails are among the bird species that face problems in the Maryland coastal area.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) From Oktoberfeststyle beers to pumpkin ales, seasonal brews will be in no short supply at the 45th Street Taphouse’s Beer Fest this Saturday. Around 20 breweries will be on tap, so to speak, pouring local recipes from 12-6 p.m. in the 45th Street village lot. “It’s a great time of year to get out and taste some of the seasonal beer offerings from the local breweries,” said Tom Knorr, owner of Salisbury’s Evolution Craft Brewing Company, which will be offering its Jacques Au Lantern Belgian-style pumpkin ale in addition to other local favorites. Evo isn’t the only area brewery that will be participating. Ocean City’s Assawoman Bay, Fin City, Lazy Lizard, OC Brewing Company and Backshore breweries will be on site, joined by Berlin’s Burley Oak. Others from around the region include Delaware’s Dogfish Head, Parsonsburg’s Tall Tales and a new brewery out of Cambridge, R&R, organizer Jeff Burton said. “We’ve kept it very, very local this year,” he said. “We try to support our local breweries.” The owner of Assawoman Bay Brewing Company, Burton described the recent boom in breweries here as “friendly competition.” “We do push the local guys. I am good friend with a lot of guys who own these breweries around here,” he said. “It kind of becomes a small community and everybody knows each other, everybody helps each other out.” Bringing local brews to the crowd is why he started Beer Fest three years ago, Burton said. The purpose is “to educate people — show people what’s out there with craft beers,” he said. The breweries also will be able to give patrons a lesson on milling and mashing during the festival. “I usually work behind the booth, so it’s fun educating people on all our different beers and what makes our See SAMPLE Page 40

In addition to its pumpkin ale, Evo will have its Lot No. 3 IPA, Lucky 7 Porter and Exile Red Ale on tap, Knorr said of the mostly darker beers that go with the season. “We’ll be there enjoying the feedback from our customers,” said OC Brewing Company’s Josh Shores. “When they love a beer, there’s nothing like it.” Ocean City’s fledgling brewery opened June 7 and already has 22 of its own beers on tap, a few of which will be available for unlimited 6-ounce samples at Beer Fest Saturday. Festivalgoers can try Route 50 Pale Ale and OC Brewing’s seasonal pumpkin beer, Shores said. In addition to unlimited pours, at-

tendees can find beer-friendly fare such as hot dogs, pretzels and sausages for sale at Beer Fest. There will be live music and event merchandise for purchase. Last year, some 250 people came out for the sip-and-sample event. Tickets cost $20 in advance at www.assawomanbaybrewing.com/ocbeerfest-2014.html or inside any of the 45th Street village businesses. Visitors pay $25 at the door. Entry includes a commemorative sampling glass and part of the proceeds will benefit a local charity, Burton said. Attendees should be 21 or older and show a valid ID. Leashed pets are welcome. Visit the website or call the 45th Street Taphouse at 443-664-2201 for more information.

Continued from Page 39 With development slowing here, climate change is the major culprit causing the declines, he said. Rising Tides Marsh- and sand-dependent birds — those exposed to the tides — are doing the worst, Wilson said. “We’ve already lost two feet of marsh in the past 20 or 30 years and we continue to see marsh erode at accelerating rates,” Wilson said. “There are a lot of species that live just in the marsh and that concerns us.” For example, the coastal bays host one of the East Coast’s largest populations of Saltmarsh Sparrows, which nest along high marsh meadows. That species saw a 23 percent drop on Maryland’s Eastern Shore from the 1980s to early 2000s, according to the most recent “Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Maryland and the District of Columbia.” Another local marshland resident is the seldom-scene Virginia Rail. “For this area, it’s mostly from climate issues. Development has slowed,” Wilson said, though increasingly paved surfaces still pose a threat to birds. The national report shows a 50 percent decline over the last four decades in 19 shorebird species, including the charismatic Red Knot, Hudsonian Godwit and Ruddy Turnstone that pass through during migration each year. More than half of all U.S. shorebird species are on the “Watch List,” including the piping plover. “Long-distance migrants require healthy stopover habitats along their entire pathway, and the chain of sites is only as strong as the weakest link,” the report says. Coasting on the Coast While marsh-dwelling species are in trouble, ‘State of the Birds’ shows a “steady rise” among the coastal species See SHRINKING Page 41

MCBP conducts the count annually to keep track of the bird population.

Protecting large, adjacent areas will be key in serving the birds, which need them for food and cover, he said. “There’s still a long way to go.” How to Help With so many factors at play, it’s easy to feel lost in the fray, but individuals can take measures at home to help declining species of birds. Keeping household cats indoors is one. Cats kill more than 2 billion birds in the United States annually, compared to less than 600 deaths per year when birds collide with windows, according to the report. Even with a small yard, homeown-

ers can create habitat for local or migrating species by replacing grass with tress, especially fruit and berry trees, Wilson said. A good rule of thumb is to “keep areas as untidy as possible,” he said. People can also seek alternatives to chemical-heavy products when shopping. Humans have already help their feathered friends in some ways. A movement to provide bluebird boxes starting in the 1980s has helped the species bounce back, for example. Other yard bird species like cardinals See BIRDS Page 46

invasive plants come in and deer nibble and damage their habitat. ‘Habitat is the Key’ Shrinking habitat remains the biggest problem facing birds. “Habitat is the key — if we can keep more of that there, it’s going to help the birds,” Wilson said. Some major projects have already helped in that respect. In Worcester County, the Natural Resources Conservation Service has run several ventures to help restore the natural flow of the Pocomoke River, helping bring back the native Cyprus swamp and improve water quality. Workers have added more than 600 cubic yards of sand to Skimmer Island over the last four years — though Hurricane Sandy undid the first two years’ work, Wilson said. The Maryland Rural Legacy Program has helped protected tens of thousands of acres south of Public Landing, near Snow Hill, and other areas are protected and undergoing restoration work, he said. Some projects, like the Lizard Hill site in Bishopville, are a “constant battle,” however. “We have had hundreds of volunteers up there over the past three years” restoring Atlantic White Cedar trees, Wilson said, but invasive non-native plants continue to make a comeback.

Continued from Page 40 it examined — thanks in large part to the establishment of 160 national coastal wildlife refuges and nearly 600,000 acres of national seashore since 1968. “There’s been a lot of tidal and nontidal wetlands money over the past 10 years or so … There’s also been a concerted effort to protect habitat where these coastal birds breed,” Wilson said. Local work that has helped feathered fowl includes replenishing crumbling islands in the coastal bays, where colonial waterbirds gather and nest. “We’ve actually seen some improvements in areas where we did restoration work like Skimmer Island,” the small plot just north of the Route 50 bridge, Wilson said. Those islands are especially important because species like herons and egrets nest in colonies on only two spots in our coastal bays, he added. “They’re one of the reasons we do island restoration,” Wilson said. However, other island-reliant species such as black skimmers and royal terns are in sharp decline. The two breed on Reedy Island, behind Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grille on 54th Street and have faced a major loss of habitat, Wilson said. Other problems include coastal engineering projects such as sea walls, especially on the densely populated East Coast. Concern in the Grasslands Most people don’t picture fields and forests when they think of Ocean City, but those are where the steepest declines in bird populations are happening. As farming has become more efficient and less land is open for cattle grazing, species whose haunts include hayfields, pastures and overgrown swaths have dropped by more than 30 percent in the eastern United States, the report shows. Bobwhites, or quail, a favorite game bird, have all but disappeared from the landscape, as have Eastern Meadowlarks. In addition, fewer Song and Vesper Sparrows are flying the skies. Another obstacle these birds face is invasive plants that have taken over some fields and wooded wetlands, Wilson said. Meanwhile, small predators like raccoons, foxes and even domestic cats put a sizable dent in bird populations. “Its pretty deplorable,” Wilson said. “We’ve urbanized a lot of the state of Maryland, so we have these much smaller open areas of grassland and the predation is just amazing.” Forest-dwelling birds are on less of a decline, “but the trend is still going in the wrong direction,” Wilson said. For example, birds such as warblers that nest in forest canopies are doing better as protections have increased, allowing once-clear-cut areas to flourish back into mature woodlands. But the forest’s ground-dwellers such as the Wood Thrush are falling behind as

BLUES ON THE BAY Visitors wined and dined to raise money for a new hospice facility last Thursday at Blues on the Bay, Coastal Hospice’s seventh annual fundraiser at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street. Around 175 attendees come out on a rainy night to raise more than $25,000 for Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, a Berlin residence that will house patients who are no longer able to live on their own, said Coastal Hospice Director of Development Maureen McNeill. The capital campaign for the building surpassed its halfway mark of $2.5 million this year and groundbreaking for the facility will take place once Coastal Hospice secures the $5 million it needs, said Elaine Bean, the group’s community relations manager.

MATHIAS-PULLY WEDDING Senator Jim Mathias and the late Kathleen Mathias of Ocean City, announce the marriage of their son, Trevor James, to Stephanie Ann Pully, daughter of Rob and Susan Pully of Fredrick. The bride and groom met at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Mathias graduated from UMBC in 2012 with a Bachelors of Science degree, and graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2014 with a Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine. He is currently employed as a laboratory technician at University of Maryland, Baltimore. Pully also graduated from UMBC with a Bachelors of Science degree in 2012 and is currently employed at the National Aquarium as a conservation technician. The couple was married at a ceremony at Sunset Park in Ocean City on Saturday, Sept. 27 by Reverend Kenneth H. Saunders III.

By Taylor Sloan Intern (Oct. 3, 2014) Delmarva Unleashed Magazine will present the inaugural Pooch Palooza, an outing for the entire family, including their fourlegged friends, at Frontier Town Western Theme Park, off Route 611 in West Ocean City, today and Saturday. “We try to do everything from the dog’s perspective,” said Sandy Phillips, Pooch Palooza coordinator. Saturday’s events will include a Dockdogs competition, microchip clinic, tennis ball lottery, Delmarva Unleashed model shoot, costume contests, agility exhibitions and a dog photo booth. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Worcester County Humane Society, who will have dogs available for adoption. “We want it to be a successful getting out for the entire family including the dog,” Phillips said. Admission cost for Pooch Palooza is $5 per person, and $2 per dog. Children under the age of 10 are admitted at no charge. The cost to participate in the Delmarva Unleashed Cover Model Search is $10, complete with a 5x7 photo and a chance to be on the cover of the holiday 2014 issue. The Dockdogs competition will take place today, Friday, beginning at

9:30 a.m. and continuing throughout the day until 5 p.m. Dockdogs events include big airwave, a long jump and extreme vertical high jump. In the extreme vertical competition, the dog starts off at the 20-foot mark on the dock and jumps up to grab a bumper toy, which is extended at 8 feet from the end of the dock over the water. Saturday, events begin at 9 a.m. with a speed retrieve competition. According to Dockdogs, speed retrieve is a timed competition. At the far end of a pool, a bumper toy is suspended 2 inches above the water with a starting indicator light above it. The dog is then placed at the 20-foot white starting mark on the dock, when the light turns green the handler releases the dog. The time clock stops when the dog has pulled the toy from the Speed Retrieve bracket. On-site registration is available at $30 for each team per Big Air, Speed Retrieve Wave, or Extreme Vertical Competition (Limited to a total of 50 dogs per Big Air, 28 dogs for Speed Retrieve Waves and 28 dogs for Extreme Vertical). Another event taking place tomorrow is the Veteran’s Support Center of America (VSCOA) Paws Surf and Turf Poker Run at Castaway’s RV Resort and Campground’s Fishing Pier off of See CONTESTS Page 46

Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We often try to tell people why birds are important,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely important for controlling pests. They eat millions and millions of pounds of insects each year. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re food for other things we eat. They do a tremendous job of seed dispersal. And, of course, people love hunting, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ducks, geese quail, turkeys.

Free State Corvette Club hosts weekend of activities Boardwalk parade, several rallyes and car shows scheduled during event

Hundreds of Corvettes are driven along the Boardwalk during last year's Free State Corvette Club event in Ocean City. This year’s parade will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

CROSSWORD

Answers on page 63

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) From a handful of Corvette buffs to hundreds of owners devoted to the sports car, the Free State Corvette Club’s Corvette Weekend has grown in the past 28 years. The event is back in Ocean City today and tomorrow with shows, rallyes and a massive Boardwalk parade of cars. There will be events for paying participants and the public to attend for free. “It started out as just a one-day event 28 years ago and was a bunch of people coming together, coming down there and raising a little bit of money for charity,” said Alan Brandhofer, registration chairman for the event. “Over the years, we’ve grown to getting 700-plus cars and 1,200plus participants.” Events begin this morning at Corvette Weekend headquarters in the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street, where around 20 vendors will sell apparel and other Corvette wares all day. Tonight, a welcome party kicks off in the Clarion’s Crystal Ballroom upstairs with live music and a cash bar from 7-11 p.m. A buffet dinner is available at an additional cost, though diners must sign up for the dinner in advance during registration. The show moves to the inlet Saturday morning, where the public can view Corvettes “from the ’50s to 2014” in the inlet lot, Brandhofer said. There will be three shows, car rallyes and the Corvette Boardwalk parade throughout the day, as well as vendors selling “everything from jewelry to Corvette apparel” and with large displays, he said. The spectacle begins at 7:30 a.m. when Corvette owners will polish their cars for three shows: one judged by other Corvette Weekend participants; one by children from the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland, the FSCC’s

major charity; and one by celebrity representatives from General Motors. Meanwhile, several rallyes will launch from the inlet Saturday morning, taking drivers and their navigators on a 50-plus-mile drive away from Ocean City in search of answers to questions, poker run cards, and scrabble tiles for various contests. The highlight event, however, is a 700-Corvette parade that will travel north up the Boardwalk from the inlet starting at 4 p.m. Saturday. Crowds will line the boards from the southern tip north for the hour-long parade. At night, the cars will cruise back uptown for a wrap-up ceremony at the Clarion, where winners of the shows and rallyes will receive awards. A cash bar will be open and a buffet dinner available for an additional fee, though diners must sign up for the dinner in advance during registration. Corvette Weekend benefits several charities, including the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland. Over the years, the Ocean City show has helped the group raise more than $600,000 for children with the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the United States and their families, Brandhofer said. Those who have not pre-registered for Corvette Weekend can visit the late registration table in the Clarion today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to sign up for the parade, shows and rallyes. Latecomers can still sign up for the parade at the inlet parking lot downtown from 7:30-10 a.m. or 1-4 p.m. tomorrow. Late registration costs $40 for adults and $8 for children under 12. Addition costs apply for the Fun Shows, rallyes and buffet dinners. The Boardwalk parade is included with registration. Participants do not need to be members of the FSCC or another club to take part in Corvette Weekend. For more information, visit www.corvetteweekend.com.

Sloan to represent Md. in Miss International Pageant

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Ocean City Today’s newest intern could be the next Miss International. Twenty-two year old Taylor Sloan, an Ocean Pines resident, joined the paper in September. Sloan previously competed in the Miss Maryland USA competitions in Bethesda in 2012 and 2013. “Miss Maryland USA was a lot of fun,” she said. “It taught me a lot of things. It taught me how to walk, how to speak to judges, how to compete. It’s really intense. You have to go through walking practices. We went from dance rehearsals back to walking practices – back to dance rehearsals back to walking practices.”

Shannon O’Brien, Miss Maryland International 2013, nominated Sloan to take on the Maryland title beginning next year. She completed a onehour phone interview, and now has two months to seek sponsorships. “I’m trying local businesses because I am local – I grew up here,” she said. “I thought it would just be easier to start locally. I’ll probably send a few emails to Baltimore businesses too. After that I start doing different appearances at different charities and local events.” Sloan said she is training hard for the competition. “I start my mornings with coffee, then I do bible devotion and go to the gym,” she said. “Those are the first three things I do, then I shower and get ready for the day. I thank God a lot for everything that’s going on right now.” A transfer student from Loyola, Sloan is due to graduate from Salisbury University in December with a degree in English and a minor in communication arts. After college, she hopes to study journalism. “I plan on staying in the area for a little bit,” she said. “I definitely want to wind up in a city. I was considering Baltimore, but with my title, I definitely want to be here for a full year. Sloan’s platform in the pageant is as an anti-bullying advocate. “I was bullied in middle school, high school and college,” she said. “In middle school I was kicked out of my lunch table on assigned seating day by the girls I wanted to sit with. I was cyber-bullied because I decided to play beach lacrosse, and, apparently, it was tradition to be mean to the new girl. In high school, I was just generally made fun of and teased. I was not invited to weekend parties, and no one asked me to senior prom so I didn’t go. In college, I was discussed on the college blog site College ACB. I do not believe there are any positive college blog sites nowadays. “Bullying and cyber-bullying, especially, are easier nowadays and harder to control,” Sloan continued. “Pre-teens and teenagers have access to technology at their fingertips, and cyber-bullying is now becoming rampant.” Sloan said she hopes to at least place in Miss International. “Obviously, I want to become Miss International,” she said. “It’s a pageant that really stresses girls’ platforms and not so much being 6’1” and 100 pounds.” The Miss International Pageant, which was established in 1960, is one of the big four such international events, competing with Miss Universe and Miss World, among others. This year’s pageant will take place July 31 and Aug. 1, in Jacksonville, Fla. To donate to Sloan’s campaign visit www.crowdrise.com/missmdintl2015.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Developing broth secret to pot roast, Walker says By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Paying attention to the obvious is mandatory in most cooking circumstances, while taking the time to note the smaller details can make the difference between something good and something much better than that. Take pot roast, for instance. The pot roast that most Americans associate with was once known everywhere as Yankee pot roast. It originated from the colonial-era of New England, where severe winters demanded comfort foods that could be created from less expensive ingredients. Cheap cuts of beef, simmered with seasoned vegetables and a rich sauce became a staple at dinner tables and defined a part of our culinary heritage. Customary pot roast is delicious but I challenge the novice chef to take extra steps for superlative results. The following recipe is simple to make but does take time. As always, prepping a day ahead is best. The secret to pot roast is developing a wonderful broth. Beef, veal, and chicken stock develop layers that bring this dish to a new level. Two-thirds of a teaspoon each of veal and chicken demi-glaze adds a completely new dimension. These products can be purchased at fancy food stores or wholesale. Yes, they are pricey but the heavily concentrated product will last a considerable amount of time and well worth the extra expense. Down-home cooking still needs eye appeal, as in slicing carrots and celery at a 45-degree angle rather than straight on. Baby bellas (baby portabellas) should remain in their natural state by just removing the stems and allowing the whole caps to shine. As the fortified broth reduces, a touch of Wondra Quick-Mixing Flour may be necessary to thicken the foundation of the dish. While we are on the subject of the broth, consider serving the dish over mashed potatoes or pappardelle pasta. After hours of developing flavors, it would be a pity to add raw potatoes to the mix, as they will only soak up the juices rather than add to the flavor. As the seasons change and cooler weather in on the way, pot roast with a twist is perfect for any fall menu.

Pot Roast with a Twist

Ingredients 5 pounds chuck roast (preferably with the bone) 3 strips pork cheek or bacon Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 4 tablespoons good quality olive oil 1 1/2 cups beef stock

1 1/2 cups veal stock 1 1/2 cups chicken stock 2 cups very dry white wine 5 cloves garlic, sliced in half 1/2 green pepper, seeded and chopped 5 yellow onions 6 carrots 1 1/2 teaspoon Herbs de Province 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 1/2 teaspoon crushed rosemary 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon coffee rub (can be purchased at Giant) 2 stalks of celery sliced at a 45-degree angle 2 (28 ounces) cans whole tomatoes, drained and seeds removed. Using hands break up the tomatoes for a rustic appearance 4 bay leaves 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, stems removed 9 cups of favorite mashed potatoes or pappardelle Instructions 1. Generously salt and pepper both sides of meat. 2. In a large Dutch oven, sautĂŠ meat over medium-high heat in olive oil until See SERVE Page 53

High Stakes bar ‘de place to be’

Fall festival

Route 54 spot fun eatery where ‘everybody knows your name,’ Kemp says

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Only seniors watch television these days. Excuse me, I beg to differ. Young or old, let’s face it, most viewers are thoroughly discouraged with the TV fare. I do watch the news. Too bad that even the same old news stories are repeated over and over throughout the day. By the time I tune in on the 11 p.m. news, ya’ guessed it, it’s old news. It’s getting so bad, no news is good news. As a kid, I had visited relatives in the teensy weeny town of Johnstown, Pa. Over the years when I ask folks new in town where they’re from, millions claim to be from Johnstown. Am I the victim of a giant size hoax? The last time we were in that area we spotted a sign indicating the

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Serve roast over mashed potatoes Continued from Page 51 both sides are seared. Remove meat, reduce heat to medium-low, and add 2 cups of beef stock. Deglaze the pan to loosen the tiny brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. 3. Add seared meat, garlic, 2 onions (quartered), 1 carrot (quartered), green pepper, and remaining stock. Simmer covered for 1 hour, turning meat occasionally. Remove meat and allow broth to cool briefly. Using a slotted spoon, remove all the cooked vegetables and puree with some of the stock. Add the meat and pureed stock back into the Dutch oven. 5. Add pork cheek, dried herbs, coffee rub, bay leaves, parsley, tomatoes, wine, celery (Cut at a 45-degree angle), and simmer covered for another 2 hours. Again, turn the meat intermittently. 6. Place 3 remaining onions (halved), remaining 5 carrots (peeled and cut in half at a 45-degree angle), and simmer covered for 40 minutes. 7. Taste broth and adjust for seasoning. Remove the lid so the broth can reduce and thicken. It may be necessary to add a thickening agent. Discard bay leaves and pork cheek. Skim any excess fat that may have risen to the top. 8. Add mushrooms and simmer uncovered for the last 20 minutes. 9. Serve pot roast over mashed potatoes or pappardelle. Serves 6

town was two miles down the road. We turned right and traveled thru a million little towns with nary a sign of, yup, you guessed it, Johnstown, Pa. Any verifiable information will be welcome. Moseying around town I found Lynn Henning, Bill Shorts, Nadine and Vince Ryan, Gordon and Jane, the Ebels, the Waldo Weavers, Gary and Martha Kinsey and a dozen or more regulars sitting around enjoying the camaraderie of Delaware’s version of the ever so entertaining ”Cheers” of TV fame. High Stakes on Route 54 in Fenwick Island is de place to be. Definitely a fun place where everybody knows your name. You best believe they’re in denial, but the place is packed with characters including the geetarist, musician and erst while comedian, bad, bad Bobby Burns. Bartenders, the likes of Lane and the waitresses seem to be able to read the minds of the customers. A great selection of reasonably price entree’s make it de’ place to be especially on weekends. Shades of Hitchcock. Never in my life have I ever expressed a desire to talk or walk with the animals (real ones), of course. If I ever cross paths with the birds that pecked away at

my sliding glass door screen and left suspicious little piles of indigestible matter behind and then had the nerve to dine on the cushions on my back deck, I’m gonna’ plead the fifth. Unbelievable how the birds tastes have changed over the years. My guess is that they were fed up with stale bread. I refuse to hold myself responsible for their demise. Keep long-time resident Joe Mulholland and his family in your prayers. Joe and his beloved Jane chose to retire on Delmarva many, many years ago. They were always involved in volunteer work around our community, as members of multi-organizations and a vital part of the original group that helped make Delmarva “de place to be” for retirees. Jane will be sorely missed by all the folks who crossed her path over the years. Does anyone have any idea why Bob Burns was a no-show at the surprise birthday party that all his fans and friends threw for him? H’mmm! Maybe he heard I was baking the 68foot birthday cake in my cardboard stove. My apologies to the all-nightlong partiers. Weren’t those bands and decorations fabulous? Everybody raved about the fabulous food. Better luck next year, Bob. C U IN OC

His wife, Dana, was previously a librarian, and his son, Scott, is an editor for Grand Central Publishing. “My family has always been very much focused on books and reading,” Rosenfeld said. “We really have him to thank,” Thomas said of Rosenfeld.

Artwork by sisters Rolig and Gray on display at center

(Oct. 3, 2014) The bond between siblings can be a strong, enduring and, sometimes, mysterious affair. To showcase such a bond on an artistic level can be a thing of beauty. In the Art League of Ocean City’s October special exhibit, “Symbiosis: Sisters, Muses, Mentors,” Deb Rolig of Snow Hill and Diane (Dee) Gray of Lewes, Del., are joining forces to share their familial artistic sensibilities – the ties and talent that bind them together. The event is the first shared exhibition for the sisters, although both have been working artists for more than 20 years. Rolig’s fine art work is familiar to many on the Eastern Shore, while Gray is a nationally distributed graphic design artist. While each has a distinctive style, an undeniably reflective thread runs through their paintings, as the two closely collaborate while conceptualizing and creating. “We are both inspired by each other’s work,” said Gray. “We always have collaborated and encouraged each other through almost every painting – over the phone and in photo texts. We are always open and honest, and cheerleaders for each other to keep pressing on. We both ‘get’ each other when it comes to our art and…without our mutual support, creatively and psychologically, we might not still be at it.” Rolig’s paintings have a narrative quality, juxtaposing bits of realism on abstract fields with rich textures and layers of color while Gray’s work incorporates a unique illustrative style combined with vintage papers, a touch of charcoal pencil, affirming messages, acrylics and glazes. Rolig graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Fine Arts degree in painting and

drawing. Her recent work is represented by several shore galleries including Bishop’s Stock in Snow Hill, Nest in Berlin, and two Rehoboth galleries – Philip Morton Gallery and Gallery 50. Gray is a graduate of the former Maryland College of Art and Design. She is founder and president of Boomerang Studios, a graphic design and illustration firm, and has designed many award-winning projects for high-profile clients. Her licensing venture, Green Street Garden Party, introduces sustainable living to children through vividly illustrated characters. Under the signature label Gathered Curiosities, she creates mixed-media items using found objects and upcycled art, which can be purchased at several area shops including The Green Doors and The Serenity Shoppe in Snow Hill and Nest in Berlin. Gray and Rolig are also partners in ShaDeeLa Creative Workshops, pe-

riodic classes that provide participants with personal explorations through art. They are the daughters of Severna Park artist Richard H. Harryman, whose own work is known for its evocative scenes of the Chesapeake Bay region. As part of October’s eclectic mix at the Center, the Galleria will feature “Abstract,” an all-media 2D competitive show, judged by Salisbury University’s Jess Cross Davis, a contemporary realist painter and teacher. Davis received her Master’s in Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2007. Her work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions throughout the mid-Atlantic region and has sold internationally. The fall artist-in-residence is Michele Green who has many exhibits and awards to her credit. For two years, she focused on painting historic Route 9 from Wilmington to Dover, resulting in one of the largest bodies of See EXHIBIT Page 58

Exhibit opening reception, Oct. 3 Continued from Page 57 artwork ever to record Delaware. Green’s work is in the collection of Vice President Joe Biden and Delaware’s Governor Jack Markel. Her work has also been featured in Delaware Today magazine, several issues of Outdoor Delaware, and one of her paintings will grace the October cover of Beach to Bay Times magazine. Much of Green’s work is done en plein air – by foot, boat or canoe. As a result, she has an intimate and personal relationship with the landscape. “Too often we fail to see the value in simple vistas. I like to paint what people forget to look at,” she said. In the Members Spotlight Gallery, Jeanne Mueller will display her paintings that capture abstract ideas, taking form and shape through her brush, expressing the emotion she

feels when a subject demands to be set to canvas. She paints landscapes and still life subjects in a variety of mediums. With no formal training, Mueller has become one of this area’s prominent self-taught artists. She is represented in many private collections on the East Coast and her work has won awards in numerous local shows, as well as at the Biggs Museum in Dover, Del. Featured artisan-in-residence with a separate showcase in the Center’s retail area is Fay Kempton. As a designer for more than 20 years for Stained Glass Designs in Silver Spring, she understands the design, cutting and manufacturing process and has thus ventured seamlessly into the world of fused glass. Her inspirations for jewelry and home décor items come from the

depths of the ocean, to dragon flies flitting across the marsh, to the architectural designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Arts Center is also home to several well-known regional artists who have exhibition and studio space there, including Myrna McGrath, Erik Hertz, Dorothy Harrison-Braun, Tinsel Hughes and David Simpson. Beginning this month, Simpson will be a year-round artist-in-residence for the Art League. The opening reception is Friday, Oct. 3 from 5-7 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street and is free and open to the public. For more information about the offerings at the OC Center for the Arts, contact the Art League at 410-5249433 or visit www.ArtLeagueofOceanCity.org.

Atlantic Physical Therapy is a family owned business that has been serving our local communities since 1998, with our first location in Ocean Pines, MD. For the past 15 years, we loved providing our community with the best care possible, and today we have six locations: Ocean Pines MD, Salisbury, MD, Millsboro DE, Laurel DE, and West Fenwick, DE. Our newest clinic in West Fenwick is conveniently located off of Rt. 54 on Old Mill Bridge Rd. We are currently in the process of opening our West Ocean City Office, which should be open in November. Our facilities are equipped with the most innovative technology in the field, such as the Alter-G, an antigravity treadmill used to rehabilitate lower extremity injuries the right way, with less impact and most importantly, less pain. The Alter-G does so by reducing body weight to create a comfortable and safe environment for walking and running, providing a smooth progression back to full recovery. We also utilize the Biodex Balance System, a state-of-the-art machine that performs baseline concussion testing, fall risk screening and conditioning for the elderly, knee injury screening, and can detect other functional deficits in athletes, helping them to perform better. The Biodex Fall Risk program helps improve balance, gait, strength, flexibility, and reduces the risk of falling. The care that we provide is top of the line, where our licensed clinicians work one-on-one with each patient to give care that cannot be equaled. No two injuries are the same, therefore no two treatment plans are the same; our care is specialized to each patient and is dependent on their injury and their needs. October is both National Physical Therapy Month and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Lymphedema, one of the most common side effects of breast cancer treatments, is an abnormal buildup of fluid that causes swelling in the extremities, most often the arms. Our occupational therapist, Sally Hawkins, is a certified lymphedema specialist that can work with these patients to reduce their symptoms. We offer a variety of services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, spine therapy, lymphedema therapy, and much more. We are here to help everyone in our community including, but not limited to, orthopedics, post-surgical rehab, auto injuries, work injuries, neurological rehab, spine rehab, manual therapy, trauma rehab, and sports medicine. Atlantic Physical Therapy is also proud to offer courtesy transportation. If you or anyone you know is in need of Physical Therapy, make Atlantic Physical Therapy your choice. At Atlantic Physical Therapy, We keep the “Care” in Healthcare.

Festival founder and producer, Jeanne du Nord, said there will be activities and entertainment for all ages. New this year will be Rainborosa, a fairy artist who dances while she paints. Also Little Red, a miniature horse will give cart rides. Blinky the Clown will bring laughter and Marshall Muskrat in a kilt will deliver greetings from the river creatures.

Sponsors sought for Swing for Youth Golf Open in Nov.

(Oct. 3, 2014) Eagles Landing Golf Course will again play host to the Ocean City Recreation Boosters’ annual Swing for Youth Golf Open on Saturday, Nov. 1. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit area children by subsidizing the youth camps and programs offered by Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department. For 22 years, the Ocean City Recreation Boosters’ golf tournaments have helped to raise more than $320,000 toward recreation program costs for area children. Supporters include individual golfers, as well as national corporate sponsors Coca-Cola and Esskay and a number of generous local partners like, Delmarva Power, Whitman, Requardt & Associates, and long-time supporter and local businessman, Jerry Radtke. The charity tournament will be held at Eagle’s Landing on Nov. 1, beginning at 9 a.m. with a breakfast and silent auction, leading up to the 10 a.m. shotgun start. The format will be a four-person Florida Scramble. The Ocean City Recreation Boosters is an independent non-profit organization made up of individuals and representatives from various community organizations who value recreational opportunities for youth. OC Recreation Boosters volunteers work diligently year-round to raise money to offset the costs of recreation programs for area youth. Team registrations are full, but anyone interested in becoming a sponsor is encouraged to contact Susan Petito, Ocean City Recreation & Parks Department director at 410-250-0125.

Trimper’s, Sahara Café host those with disabilities Continued from Page 60 This year, 65 people from UNA enjoyed cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and fries, all prepared by Whitmeyer and his staff. “It feels great to give back to the community,” Whitmeyer said. After lunch, UNA clients and staff walked the Ocean City Boardwalk and rode several rides within the Trimper’s indoor amusements. Trimper’s opened early, donated wristbands and had extra people on hand to assist the UNA staff so that wheelchairs could be lifted onto the carousel. “While we assist individuals with developmental disabilities to become more self-sufficient and integrated into the community, today would not have been possible without the partnerships we have with locally-owned businesses like The Sahara Café and Trimper’s. We are very grateful,” said Mike Dyer, CEO of United Needs & Abilities.

Worcester scores 8-1 win over DC Mallards take advantage of open left side of field; net five goals from there

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team took a number of shots and netted eight during Tuesday’s game against the Delmarva Christian Royals in Berlin. “They spread the ball well and created scoring opportunities,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler Terry Underkoffler said after his squad’s 8-1 victory. Junior Elio Telo got Worcester on the board. Freshman Brendan Miller netted a penalty shot to boost the Mallards’ lead to two goals. Patrick Petrera, a sophomore, scored twice and Telo tallied his second goal of the half to give Worcester a 5-0 advantage at the break. Sophomore Tate Shockley provided the Prep squad with its sixth point with 24 minutes remaining in the match. Senior Jared Goodwin and sophomore Aria ZiaShakeri knocked in the Mallards’ final two goals. The Royals scored their lone goal with just over a minute left in the game.

stopped three Delmarva Christian shots. Will Pedigo, a senior, took over in goal for the final 13 minutes of the game. He made two saves. “Something we tried to focus on was build it, switch it and get [the ball] to the open side of the field,” Underkoffler said. “It was obvious as the

game evolved that [the Royals] were exposing the left side. The left side was wide open and we were finding the space. We scored five of out eight goals from the left side.” Worcester is scheduled to play Sussex Tech in Georgetown, Del. at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

SD Lady Seahawks improving game by game, Berke says

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team took a trip to Ridgely on Tuesday to battle the North Caroline Bulldogs and the Lady Seahawks returned to Berlin with another win under their belts. “They played really well. They came out strong and ready to go,” Decatur Coach Maggie Berke said after her team’s 6-0 win. “They were connecting [passes] well, their first touches improved a lot and they worked hard getting 50/50 balls.” Senior Rachel Bourne netted Decatur’s first goal less than five minutes into the game. Senior captain Jillian Petito and sophomores Mallory Vara and Lexie VanKirk also scored in the first half. Decatur led 4-0 at the break. Sophomore Rachel Florek made two saves in the first half. Petito and junior Peyton Townsend tallied one goal apiece in the second half. Goalie Lexi Gausepohl, a junior, stopped four of the Bulldogs’ shots. “I’m pleased with the way they played,” Berke said. “They’re improving game by game.” The Seahawks will host the Wi-Hi Lady Indians on Tuesday at 4 p.m. When the squads met in Salisbury on Sept. 18, Decatur won 5-0.

Worcester Prep tops DC and STPP

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Worcester Prep field hockey team scored back-to-back wins this week against two Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference opponents. On Tuesday, the Lady Mallards shut out the Delmarva Christian Royals, 7-0. Sophomore Eva Parks scored one goal and freshman Mia Meacci netted two in the first half. Junior Isabel Carulli tallied a goal four minutes into the second half. She logged a second goal two minutes later. Senior captain Jordie Loomis scored Worcester’s sixth goal and sophomore Ava Schwartz recorded the team’s seventh point. Freshman goalie Grace Nichols didn’t see much action. She made one save. All six of the freshmen played a ma-

jority of the game. “It was a good experience for them to play a full varsity game,” said Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom. The next day, the Mallards went to Easton to face their ESIAC foe, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres. Sophomore Regan Lingo and junior Hanna Nechay provided the Prep squad with a 2-0 first-half lead. The Sabres scored once, and at the break, Worcester held a 2-1 advantage. Nechay capitalized off a senior captain Caroline Lindsay pass to boost the Mallards’ lead to two goals in the second half. “The played outstanding. We were much more prepared than the last time we played them,” Frostrom said. “We were able to execute more scoring opportunities. We were much more aggressive this time.”

Worcester and Sts. Peter & Paul met in Berlin on Sept. 19. Lindsay scored the only goal of the game in overtime. For the second match-up, Frostrom changed the line-up around and put some players in different positions. Sophomore Leigh Lingo, a forward, did a fantastic job in the midfield, Frostrom said. Senior captain Natalie Twilley helped out in the defensive end, moving from the midfield. Carolyn Dorey, a senior, had a outstanding performance with three defensive saves. Goalie Stormy McGuiness stopped seven Sabres’ shots. Frostrom said Carulli and Loomis played a phenomenal game. “The girls were very focused,” Frostrom said. “They went out and did their job. I’m really proud of them.” The Mallards will host the Indian River Indians today, Friday, at 4 p.m.

Decatur cross country squads take first in meet

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Stephen Decatur cross country teams earned victories in the five-school meet on Sept. 24 in Ridgely. “The teams were some of the teams that are traditionally in the top half of the Bayside Conference,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “I thought that both (Decatur) teams did pretty good.” The Lady Seahawks scored 26 points to take first place. Queen Anne’s finished second with 68 points and North Caroline was third (71). Decatur senior Jenna Reimer crossed the finish line first, completing the race in 19:37. Juniors Rachel Savage and Alison Alvarado placed fourth (21:18) and fifth (21:33) overall, respectively. Peyton Dunham, a sophomore, finished seventh (21:45) and junior Katie Hofman came in ninth (21:50). The Decatur boys’ team tallied 40 points. Queen Anne’s logged 57 points for second place and North Caroline took third (76). Scoring points for Decatur were seniors Parker Harrington (fourth, 17:19) and Jake Gaddis (fifth, 17:23), freshmen Jack Reimer (eighth, 18:10) and Matt Alvarado (11th, 18:26) and sophomore Jared Massey (12th, 18:46). “Our girls did well in terms of scoring. I still think that we can score a little bit better if we become more consistent from runners 2-7,” Stigler said. “I thought that the boys did well also. Again, consistency is key. Moving forward, we want to concentrate on having more runners tightly bunched, running toward the front of the pack.” Decatur will host the next meet, Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 4 p.m.

Decatur boys’ soccer team earns shutout Seahawks score seven goals and hold Worcester County rival, SH, scoreless

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team headed down the road Monday to take on one of its Worcester County rivals, the Snow Hill Eagles. The Seahawks shut out their opponent, 7-0.

Senior captain Corey Gwin netted Decatur’s first goal about a minute into the competition. Sophomore captain Alton Walter gave the visiting Seahawks a 2-0 advantage nine minutes later. In the final minute of the first half, junior Lupe Jamie Greenwood Garcia tallied Decatur’s third goal. Garcia made it 4-0 five minutes into the second half. Walker scored

his second goal of the game 10 minutes later. About a minute after that, Garcia logged his third goal. Junior Coale Davidson wrapped up the scoring for Decatur around the 23-minute mark. Seahawks’ goalie Sean Colgan, a senior, stopped six Snow Hill shots. “We moved the ball a little better than we have been and we created a lot more opportunities,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “We ran our set plays better. We scored two goals off of set plays.”

Greenwood said the Seahawks are not quite where he would like them to be at this point in the season. “We still have a lot of growing to do and playoffs are approaching. We’re far from playoff form at this point,” he said. “The seniors are stepping up and they’re starting to take more leadership. They know there’s only a few games left in their high school careers.” The Parkside Rams are set to come to Berlin on Monday to battle Decatur at 5:30 p.m.

Worcester gets two victories over Chesapeake Christian

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Worcester Prep and Chesapeake Christian volleyball teams went head-to-head last Tuesday and again this week. Worcester’s Lady Mallards pulled out victories in both match-ups. Battling for five games on Sept. 23, Worcester edged out Kristin Jehle Chesapeake Christian three games to two. Prep Coach Kristin Jehle was happy with the Lady Mallards’ performance in the first game. Serves were on point, the girls communicated on the court, they dug hits and

made few errors in the 25-12 win. “They did everything they were supposed to,” she said. Unfortunately, things fell apart in the next two games. The Crusaders took games two and three, 25-23 and 25-9. “We were playing down to the other team’s level. We were very unorganized and we weren’t playing together,” Jehle said. “I told them they’ve got to pick it up and play their best because [Chesapeake Christian] is not going to give up.” The Mallards heard her warning and their level of play improved in the fourth game. Worcester edged out its opponent 25-20 to force a fifth and final game. The Prep squad went on a serving run, tallying several aces. With momentum in their favor, the Mallards won the game 15-5. “When we were on, we were on. When we weren’t, the score reflected that,” Jehle said. “We had a lull in the second and third games, but we stepped in up in the fourth and fifth.” Senior captain Mattie Maull led Worcester with nine aces, 12 kills and 22 digs. Junior Erika Smith chipped in with two aces, three kills and 30 digs. Senior captain, setter Cecily Sass, logged four aces, five kills, 11 digs and 15 assists. Bridget Brown, a junior, dug 14 Crusaders’ hits. Chesapeake Christian came to Berlin this week for competition. The Crusaders topped the Mallards 27-25 in the first game, Tuesday. “We had two calls that went against us that I thought were a little questionable,” Jehle said. “We lost the momentum so the other team used that to their advantage.” Worcester took the second game 25-22 and the third 25-20. The Mallards gained a 7-1 lead in

the fourth game. The Crusaders began to chip away at the advantage and tied the score 8-8. Points were traded throughout the game. At 22-all, the Crusaders hit the ball wide and the Prep squad went ahead by one. Brown gave Worcester its 24th points and Smith ended the match with a serving ace. “In each game we were around 22 points and we just had to fight for those last three points. Game two, three and four we just kept fighting to win,” Jehle said. “I told them ‘you’ve got to watch the tips, watch the free balls’ and they really responded well to that and they did everything they were supposed to do…A lot of what we’ve been doing in practice they were showing in the games. They were much more aggressive. I loved it.” Sass contributed with 12 kills and 18 assists. Maull chipped in with four aces, 35 digs and 14 kills. Freshman Caroline Pasquariello dug 25 Crusaders’ hits. Worcester will participate in a sixschool tournament on Saturday in Greenwood, Del.

PHOTO COURTESY SCOT DAILEY

The Worcester Prep golf team won its final ESIAC regular-season match on Monday. Pictured, from left, are seniors Derek Wilgus and Rylie Doyle, junior John Meakin, Coach Scot Dailey, junior Jason Cook, sophomore Jon Ruddo and junior Bennett Truitt.

Dailey: I am very proud of their effort this season Continued from Page 68 “I am very proud of their effort this season, and their willingness to learn and get better has been outstanding,” said Prep Coach Scot Dailey. “I believe every kid in the program has improved their scoring average. We are working on being consistent and playing under pressure and adverse conditions.” Worcester will compete with the public schools of the Bayside Conference on Thursday, Oct. 9, at Ocean City Golf Club in Berlin.

“Our two seniors have been a big asset to not only me, but the team as well. Rylie Doyle has been outstanding all season long with her scoring and leadership qualities; she makes everyone laugh and feel better about every situation,” Dailey said. “Derek Wilgus has quietly become a solid leader on this team. He has improved his scoring by almost seven shots over nine holes since the middle of August and is ready to finish the season strong,” he added.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 3, 2014) Following a season filled with unparalleled successes, Berlin will honor its more than 500 area Little League players during a parade at 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 10. Berlin approved the parade during a Mayor and Council meeting on Aug. 25. “It’s going to honor all of my all star teams,” said Berlin Little League President Norman Bunting. That includes District 8 all star teams, tournament teams and 7-8year-old pitching machine teams. The 13-year-old Intermediate all stars finished as a United States runner-up in the Little League World Series in Livermore, Ca., and the 9-10 all stars won a state championship and played in the regional tournament in Cranston, RI. “I attribute their success to good volunteers, to having good baseball people, and I will give a lot of credit to travel baseball in our area,” Bunting said. “A lot of these kids do play travel ball, which gives them year-round training and year-round baseball. That really helps these youngsters in playing ball.” Bunting said the teams’ success is a big plus for Berlin. “Our little town of Berlin – it’s put us on the map, especially for baseball,” he said. “The Intermediate League

team has won the state tournament four years in a row, so they know what Berlin baseball is about.” More than 535 players participated in Berlin Little League programs in 2014. “With lacrosse and soccer and other sports in the area – to have that many kids that have come in to playing baseball is a great thing,” Bunting said. “I think some of that can be attributed to the success of these teams. Other people from other areas and other towns have definitely called and praised our organization and the training and the coaching, and just the way that we play Berlin baseball.” The parade will include a ceremony highlighting the Intermediate team’s championship run as well as recognizing all of the players. “We obviously have an exceptional Little League,” said Berlin Mayor Gee Williams. “America’s coolest small town has a very cool Little League. There’s no doubt about it. “It’s very positive,” Williams continued. “It sends just the right message about the kind of community that we constantly work to be. It’s a great place for families, it’s a great place for traditional American values. Little League baseball is just like mom and apple pie. With the exposure they got on regional TV and national TV – it’s a first for Berlin and it can only be a great benefit over time.”

130TH ST. IN THE MONTEGO BAY SHOPPING CENTER

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) Each week, Stephen Decatur football Coach Bob Knox says the Seahawks must play hard for four quarters, all 48 minutes, to be successful. The Berlin squad has struggled to do that. “We did the same thing we always do…we play hard for a long time then we take time off,” Knox said after Decatur’s 35-19 homecoming loss to the Kent Island Buccaneers last Friday. “We played well for three quarters and then we took the fourth quarter off, or we coasted. It’s frustrating, seeing as how we played well for three quarters. And, we made some mistakes. We have mental lapses and those are hard to break them of.” Senior Sam Coates ran the ball 44 yards to give Decatur a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. The visiting Buccaneers pulled ahead 7-6 in the second quarter. Decatur senior Matt LeCompte returned the opening kickoff of the third quarter 90 yards and senior Austin Dundore’s PAT was good. Kent Island answered a few minutes later to gain a 14-13 advantage. The Buccaneers scored three times in the fourth quarter to take a 35-13 lead.

BANK RECOGNIZES WEEK 4 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 4 winner is senior Matt LeCompte. On hand for the recent presentation, from left, are Coach Bob Knox, LeCompte and Earl Conley of the Bank of Ocean City.

Decatur senior quarterback Justin Meekins hit R.J. Hayman, a senior, in the final minutes. The two-point conversion was unsuccessful. Meekins rushed 10 times for 75 yards. Hayman caught four passes for 45 yards. The Decatur defense was led by Coates, Hayman, sophomore Ed Zonnak and senior Jeremiah Purnell. “It’s back to the drawing board this week. I think we have a good plan to

beat Easton,” Knox said Tuesday night. “They’re extremely athletic. Our plan is to slow the game down, run the ball and run the ball some more.” Decatur will travel to Easton tonight, Friday, to play the Warriors at 6:30 p.m. To come away with a victory, Knox said the Seahawks must “be physical, be able to down block and tackle better.”

Decatur golf team still undefeated Seahawks have ability to perform at high level on consistent basis, Krall says

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The undefeated Stephen Decatur golf team captured its seventh win of the season Tuesday at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury. “[Tuesday’s] performance was an awesome confidence booster for the players to realize that they have the ability to perJim Krall form at a very high level on a consistent basis,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “Even though all five of them are playing very well right now, they each know they can even go lower, and that motivation is extremely enjoyable to witness from a coaches perspective. We’re in a happy place right now and hope to continue to have fun.” Senior Danny Parker led the Seahawks with a 35. He earned medalist honors for the day. Also contributing to the victory was sophomore Matt Kristick (36) and seniors Brooks Holloway (37) and Delaney Iacona (39). Freshman Matt Kinsey also shot a 39.

Stephen Decatur senior Danny Parker shot a 35 Tuesday, the lowest score of the day to earn medalist honors at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury.

Decatur finished with a team total of 147 during the seven-school match. James M. Bennett took second with a 173. Parkside’s 183 was good for third

place. The next match is scheduled for Tuesday at Deer Run Golf Club in Berlin.

Despite loss, Coach Purnell proud of Seahawks’ effort By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 3, 2014) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team lost in three games to the Parkside Rams on Tuesday in Berlin, but Lady Seahawks’ Coach Sarah Purnell was proud of her players’ effort. Parkside won the first game, 25-11, and the second, 25-16. Decatur fought back to tie the third game 11-11, but the visiting Rams outscored the home team 14-4 to earn a 25-15 victory. “While the scores don’t necessarily reflect the girls’ efforts, they really played hard. This is the first game all season where I felt like our girls clicked well all three matches,” Purnell said.

“Their passing was much better, they were making great plays and they were playing smart. Our stats were pretty spread out, which hasn’t happened this season either. I was very proud of my girls and how hard they played.” Senior Marina Jones had five kills. Junior Marley Parsons and seniors Victoria Williams and captain Hannah Adkins each tallied three kills. Ellen Bargar, a junior, contributed with four digs and three kills, and senior Haley Trice recorded seven assists. Senior Kayla Heinz had four digs and five assists. The Seahawks will take a trip to Queen Anne’s County to face the Lions today, Friday, at 5:30 p.m. LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Sanchez inducted Martin Sanchez, a 2014 graduate of the US Naval Academy and a 2010 graduate of Worcester Preparatory School, was inducted into the Naval Academy Athletics Hall of Fame recently, for his achievements on the soccer field. Sanchez was a four-year starter at Navy and team co-captain, setting the school record in 2014 for games started, and led the team to its best season in more than 40 years. The team went undefeated in Patriot League play, winning the league tournament and getting into the NCAA championships for the first time since 1971. Sanchez scored the winning goal in opening tournament action against VCU and was voted to the Patriot League All-Tournament Team as well as Patriot League First Team. He was a four-year NSCAA All-Region Selection, freshman All-American and led the Patriot League in assists in 2014, while finishing fifth in the NCAA. Sanchez was the 39th soccer inductee and the first since 2002.

Page 84 Feel better through use of road rage

OUR OPINION

Start now and maybe next year

There is only so much the police can do when an event such as last week’s H20i rally takes place. Irksome and even infuriating behavior is not necessarily illegal and no one would want a police force that acted on the whims of society just to appease its complaints as opposed to following the law. But if the police are restricted, elected officials have even less power, even though they are the recipients of many of the complaints and demands for relief generated by these marginally controlled events. They do not have the authority to block the entrances to the resort or to deny access to anyone. Neither does it make any difference whether they sanction an event. The cities and towns in this country are open to anyone who desires to visit them. Meanwhile, the power the promoters of these mass gatherings hold over their participants is dependent on the latter’s willingness to abide by the promoters’ requests and recommendations. And even then, they have no influence over the great number of non-registered hangers-on and tagalongs who want the excitement without the organization. But if none of the aforementioned is the problem or the solution, it remains that the only ones left to blame are ourselves. We may not like how some of these things turn out, but we do like the money. Until such time as doing business in a seasonal resort does not require many of us to gather in that last dime heading into the deep offseason, or we are sufficiently well off to be more aggressive in our pricing to discourage certain activities, these things are just going to happen. Local government can help by being a little more business friendly, but the tougher decision is our own. The police, as Chief Ross Buzzuro observed this week, are already creating better strategies for next year. Maybe the rest of us ought to do the same.

H2Oi nuisance to homeowner

Editor, As a homeowner who lives along Coastal Highway across from the convention center, I see a lot of activity in the parking lot of the center. This past weekend’s H2Oi was once again the worst of the year. These car owners and their friends are the most disrespectful group that comes to Continued on Page 85

I never fully understood road rage, having assumed it was something that mostly occurred on L.A. freeways, where a third of the drivers are paparazzi, who chase the celebrity third of the total vehicular population, while the remaining third, which would be your usual knuckleheads, simply got in the way and mad everyone mad. Now I understand. Last weekend, in the course of having gone temporarily insane, which led me to believe it was OK to venture uptown, I found myself in the center lane of the highway, where my pickup truck and I were sandwiched between some kind of wind-up car and a similar automotive mystery under the guidance, apparently, of a smallish hairball. I have nothing against hairballs, as some of my best friends over the years have born a striking resemblance to Cousin It of the Addams Family. They, at least, could play the banjo. This one, however, did not have all the strings on his banjo, as it were, since all he seemed to accomplish in the course of many, many blocks was to speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, all within the 30 yards or so that separated him from the creep-along motorist in front and the frustrated driver in back. Annoying as that was, mostly because I couldn’t see the point of revving up to 35 mph and dropping back to 25 mph, it wasn’t until he decided to alleviate his boredom by adding a little zigzag to his routine that I became something more than testy. Speed up, slow down, zig toward the curb, ZAG TOWARD ME. I drive a pickup truck. A 4x4 somewhat high-off-the-ground pickup truck and here this instrument of crass destruction is challenging me to blink? Hah! Lucky for him, my parents taught me early on that it was not polite to engage all four wheels of your vehicle and drive over an adjacent motorist. “We just don’t do that sort of See ROAD Page 85

Letters Continued from Page 84 town. Every year these car owners are allowed to congregate in the convention center parking lot, where they overcrowd the parking lot and sidewalks along Coastal Highway to the point where it gets so out of hand the police cannot control them. Each year our condo parking lot gets overrun with this group who block 41st Street, the entrance to our condo building and park in our marked parking spaces. They use our bushes and parking areas for their personal bathroom and trashcan with no respect for private property. This year it was particularly bad with the event in the 45th Street Village. They were racing back and forth between 45th Street and the convention center. I realize this event is not sanctioned by the city, but the city has known about it for months, knows who the promoter is and said they work with the promoter to head off problems. In my opinion the best solution is to fence off the convention center parking lot so they cannot congregate there. Security could be hired to make sure they don’t take down the fencing and a bill could be sent to the promoter. If the town wants to continue to allow them to park there, they should be charged a fee, say $50 (same as the July 4 inlet fee), to park there for the day. The additional revenue can then be used to pay for extra police patrols. Debra Fish Ocean City

Thanks from Art League of Ocean City

Editor, On Wednesday, Sept. 10 the OC Art League held its 10th anniversary cocktail party in honor of this year’s Sand Castle Home Tour. Close to 200 people attended a beautiful evening at the magnificent home of Jay and Cheryl Taustin. We cannot thank the Taustin family enough for offering their home and their generosity. An event like this is successful because of the time, effort, donations, volunteers, friends and the community support, who continue to support the arts in Ocean City. We truly are blessed to have so much love shown for the [Ocean City] Center for the Arts.

Blues on the Bay ‘rousing success’

Editor, Coastal Hospice wishes to thank the many people and organizations that made Blues on the Bay a rousing success. About 200 supporters attended the party at Macky’s on Sept. 24 that raised $25,500 for the campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean in Berlin. Blues on the Bay 2014 put us over the halfway mark toward our goal of building Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, a hospice residence and community outreach center. In addition to the medical, spiritual and emotional support provided resident hospice patients and their families, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will offer community-based palliative care, counseling, grief support and wellness programs. We would also like to personally thank Macky and Pam Stansell who opened the doors of their restaurant as hosts of this important event. The Stansells continue to show their com-

mitment to Coastal Hospice and the future vision of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. Alane K. Capen President, Coastal Hospice

Voting record questioned

Editor, The O’Malley-Brown administration has made Maryland the topic of many a national joke when they decided to pass a tax on rain. Senator Mathias and his staff continually state that the senator voted against the Rain Tax. And that is true. But when you dig a little deeper, you will find that before the senator voted against this tax, he voted “for it” by voting for Cloture. The conservatives held the floor and mounted a filibuster to stop passage of the Rain Tax bill, but Senator Mathias voted with the liberals to shut down the debate and override the filibuster. Then, an amendment was offered by the conservatives to place a sunset provision on the tax so that it would have to be brought back to the assembly for renewal. Without a new authorization, the Rain Tax would have died, but again, Senator Mathias voted with the liberals against this amendment. On the surface it appears that the senator voted against the Rain Tax, but did he really? Senator Mathias portrays himself as a conservative but according to www.liberaljim.com, his voting record is anything but conservative. He votes for higher taxes and more regulation. He supports centralize medicine (the failed Maryland Health Care Exchange) and centralized education (common core). These are not conservative values. Fran Gebhart Berlin

Citizens urged to test smoke alarms

Editor, When was the last time you tested the smoke alarms in your home? Was it last week? Last month? A year ago? If you’re like many people, you may not even remember. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature of U.S.

Page 85 households that they’re often taken for granted, and aren’t tested and maintained as they should. However, working smoke alarms are a critical fire safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half. Meanwhile, NFPA data shows that home fires killed more than 2,300 people in 2012. Many of these deaths could have been prevented with the proper smoke alarm protection. As a member of the fire service for 11 years, I’ve seen the devastating effects of fire first-hand — the burn injuries, the loss of homes and possessions are distressing. What’s even worse is witnessing a family’s anguish after a loved one has been killed in a fire. It’s heartbreaking. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5-11, NFPA is promoting “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” to better educate the public about the true value of working smoke alarms. My sincere hope is that all those reading this will make sure there are working smoke alarms installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a life-saving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threatening impact of fire. Here are additional smoke alarm tips to follow: 1. Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. 2. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. 3. Test alarms each month by pushing the test button. 4. Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond properly. Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm. Ryan L. Whittington Deputy Fire Marshal, Town of Ocean City

Road rage understood after last weekend’s experience THE PUBLIC EYE Continued from Page 84 thing in this family,” they would say. But I really, really wanted to. Enraged as I was, all I could do was motion to him to roll down his window as I lowered mine. “Hey, boy-monkey!” I said in my best professional demeanor. “See truck?

Truck big! Truck squash!” I also might have added something about him being rendered so thin he would fit into his own wallet and thus would be able to carrying himself around. And just like that I felt better. And as for him, he continued on up the road, speeding up, slowing down, zigging left and ...
