Off and running Ocean City Council race set, as hopefuls start making rounds

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Several developments over the past week have added significant intrigue to Ocean City’s 2014 electoral contest, with the municipal ballot less than a month away. Former Councilman Joe Hall, a divisive figure in local politics for many years, has filed to run on this November’s ballot after failing to win re-election in 2012. Opposition to Hall’s can-

didacy has already formed along familiar political fault lines, with the local lobbying group Citizens for Ocean City – which actively opposed Hall’s 2012 campaign, and advocated for candidates endorsed by Mayor Rick Meehan – contesting his qualification to run. Additionally, Councilman Brent Ashley confirmed he will not be seeking re-election, meaning three of the four open council seats in 2014 will not have an incumbent. “I ran for office to accomplish a couple specific things, which I was successful in doing,” Ashley said, in refer-

ence to the 2011 salary and pension reforms. “I had already been retired for six years when I came onto the council. At this point, I feel like my role is done.” Councilwoman Margaret Pillas previously announced that she will also be retiring from office, and Councilman Joe Mitrecic has announced his resignation from council, effective Nov. 3, in order to fill Ocean City’s uncontested seat on the Worcester County Commissioners. Only current Council President Lloyd Martin will be running to retain his seat. This means that the See LOBBYING page 5

Flounder hearings prompt suggestions By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Charter boat captains, sports fishermen and marine conservation advocates came to the Ocean Pines library last Thursday to give their take on the summer flounder fishery and new plans that will eventually guide it. The fishery management plan hasn’t been updated since 1993 and the scoping hearings here and at 13 other spots along the

Atlantic coast mark a first step toward a plan amendment, which the national Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and state-level Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission will oversee. “What should we focus on? That’s what the comments that we want to take back is,” said Mike Luisi, Maryland’s designated state official on the council, who helped lead the meeting. See FLATFISH page 7

Toddler mistakes smack for snack Selbyville woman arrested after 4-year-old daughter brings heroin to daycare By Maria Counts Coastal Point (Oct. 10, 2014) Selbyville made national headlines this week after a 4year-old girl reportedly brought heroin into her daycare and began passing it out to other children. Delaware State Police were called to Hickory Tree Child Care Center, outside of Selbyville, on Oct. 6 after daycare providers observed some of the children with small bags of a white powdery substance. The bags were collected by the teachers and were taken to the Selbyville Police Department, where police found that they contained heroin. “Some employees from the daycare actually brought it here to the department to see if the officers here knew what it was. Obviously, from experience, they were quickly identified. A quick field test was also done to confirm it,” said Selbyville Police Chief W. Scott Collins. “Officers immediately responded to the daycare and contacted Delaware State Police. Our initial response was for the concern of the safety of the kids and adults in the daycare, to make sure no one there had been exposed. That was our primary concern.”

Collins said paramedics also responded to the daycare facility after it was determined there was a possibility that those in the facility might have been exposed to the drug. “Especially at these kids’ young age, if they were to ingest it, there could’ve been a likelihood of death or a severe reaction to it,” said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier, public information officer for the Delaware State Police, of the possible risks of exposure to the drug. “The caution of keeping it out of their hands, checking them out at the hospital, examining them — they were found not to be under the influence or have any signs of taking it.” The preliminary investigation conducted by the Delaware State Police revealed that the 4-year-old girl had unknowingly brought the small bags of heroin into the childcare in a backpack that her mother had given her after hers had been ruined by the family’s pet the night before. After finding the packets, and thinking they were candy, she began passing them out to her classmates that morning at daycare. Several children who came in contact with the unopened bags were taken to area hospitals as a precautionary measure and were released after being examined. A total of 249 bags of heroin, weighing 3.735 grams total, were confiscated by police.

“It is a considerable amount for someone to have on them,” Fournier said. “Obviously in that situation, the bags were not for personal use but probably more for distribution. But that is still part of the ongoing investigation.” Fournier said that detectives worked with daycare providers to ensure that all the packets were accounted for. “The detectives and troopers, as well as the daycare providers, did a thorough search of all the kids. The quick response of the daycare workers finding the substance led to all the packets being recovered rather quickly.” Ashley R. Tull, 30, of Selbyville, the mother of the young girl, was contacted by troopers when she arrived at the daycare and was taken into custody shortly after being interviewed. She was later taken back to Troop 4 in Georgetown, where she was charged with maintaining a drug property and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Tull was released after posting $6,000 secured bond. Tull has two other children, a 9year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, who also live with her. A no-contact order was set in place in regards to all three children, who were placed in the custody of a relative. Fournier said detectives were continuing to investigate the case and that more charges may be forthcoming.

Lobbying group attempts to strike Hall, Ufholz from race Continued from Page 1 fourth-place vote-getter in the upcoming contest will fill the remaining two years of Mitrecic’s four-year term, which began in 2012. As expected, Meehan also filed for re-election late last week. He is unopposed in the mayoral contest. Further, local businesswoman Nancy Bolt filed Monday – the last day to do so – for a council seat, bringing the total number of contenders up to nine for the four spots. “I’ve always wanted to run and never thought it was the right time, but now I believe it is,” Bolt said. While eight of the 10 total candidates were officially confirmed by the council at Monday’s meeting, the candidacies of Hall and Philip Ufholz, a first-time candidate who filed some weeks ago, will have to wait. Local attorney Jay Phillips, on behalf of Citizens for Ocean City, contested the two candidates’ filings, stating that they do not “meet the test set forth in the [city] charter” with regards to being domiciled in the city limits. “We want to make sure that the candidates … meet the criteria of the charter, and then the voters will have the opportunity to vote as they

please,” Phillips said. Per the city’s charter, a candidate must be someone “who, for four months next preceding the election, has been and is, at the time of the election, a resident of and domiciled in the corporate limits of the Town of Ocean City, Maryland.” Both Hall and Ufholz were not at Monday’s council meeting, when Phillips lodged his objection. The council voted to hold a separate hearing yesterday afternoon, past press time. “I think if we have people who have taken the time to come down here and challenge [the filings], then the candidates also have the right to come down and state their case,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic, motioning for a “speedy resolution” of the dispute. However, Hall was expected to be out of town yesterday, and the hearing will likely be continued. “There will still be a hearing for at least one candidate on Thursday, unless Mr. Ufholz also requests a continuation,” City Solicitor Guy Ayres said. Phillips declined to elaborate on why Citizens for Ocean City believe Hall and Ufholz do not meet the See MARTIN Page 6

“BEACH HOUSE DISTRESSED LAMINATES” WOWS THE COAST!

Globally Unique: The Beach House Laminate collection draws its inspiration from the boldest, most colorful vintage and worn wood looks and combines it with a range of unique plank designs and the latest embossing technology Fenwick Island, DE October 7, 2014 Carpets and

Renovations by the Ocean is proud to announce the latest and most unique product to be introduced in the hard surface flooring industry, Beach House Laminate Floors. Beach House Laminate Floors replaces tired, stained, repeatedly cleaned, unsanitary carpeting with the latest distressed commercially rated laminate product. It is a revolutionary, low-cost way to immediately increase the value of one’s home. During the last 40 years, Carpets by the Ocean has delivered cutting edge flooring technology to the beach communities and this latest product is no exception. Deeply embedded sand in one’s living/dining room carpet may require the latest of expensive vacuums or water extraction machines that may eventually result in residual water left or even latent mildew spores to become active. The inexpensive “Swifter” style product is all that is needed for cleaning this new surface.

Carpets by the Ocean, located at the Walgreens Shopping Center in Fenwick Island, DE has all the latest “Hard Surface Flooring” to dramatically enhance your beach home. The Beach House Laminate Flooring will enrich a home by offering 12 millimeters of commercially warranted real wood feel, 4 sided micro beveled product that is more stable in a coastal environment than ¾ “ real hardwood. While saying goodbye to your carpeting and treating subfloors with growth inhibitors,

you can extend the life of your beach home and subfloor cleanliness for many years to come. Adding Beach House Laminate to your beach home will extend the life of your flooring system and is much more cost effective than hardwood flooring.

“We converted old tired carpeted areas in our front office to a seemingly larger fresh space that wears like iron and is easily cleaned,” shared Grace Masten of North Beach Realty. “We are so excited to be bringing this product to the Delmarva Coastal area. It is one of the most unique and innovative products created in the hard surface flooring industry during the 40 years we have been in business,” states Joerg Leinemann, President/Owner of Carpets & Renovations by the Ocean.

Martin only incumbent, Bolt sole woman in ‘14 field Continued from Page 5 domicile qualification. Suspicion may have been aroused due to the fact that Ufholz owns a home in Bethesda, where he lived during his years as a tax attorney on Capitol Hill. Since moving to the resort full-time in 2001, Ufholz said his daughter has used the property. “The only reason we have that home is that my wife is preparing for our daughter’s wedding in May,” Ufholz said this week. “As soon as the wedding’s over, we’re selling it.” Ufholz has owned his condo on 88th Street since 1975, he said. During an interview with Ocean City Today this week, he provided his current drivers’ license and voter registration, both of which display his Ocean City address. Ufholz also showed tax returns listing Ocean City

as his permanent address. “I’ve voted here in every election here since 2008,” Ufholz said. “This whole thing is absurd.” Questions regarding Hall’s qualifications likely stem from his recent stint working in North Carolina, although again, Philips declined to elaborate on the specific allegations. Some months after his 2012 loss, Hall took a catering job in the Charlotte, N.C., area, he said. His ex-wife and children live there as well. “I took the opportunity, because of an employment change, to take advantage of something I unfortunately have no control over, which is that my kids now live in Charlotte,” Hall said on Tuesday. However, the arrangement was never intended to be permanent, Hall said. His time in North Carolina

ended and he moved back to the apartment above his family’s restaurant on 59th Street this past August. According the Maryland’s legal definition, which is printed on the city’s candidacy affidavits, establishing domicile entails “the intent to reside either permanently or indefinitely at the new residence … temporary absence from one’s residence without the intent to abandon completely the former domicile will not create a new domicile.” Thus, Hall’s assertion that he never intended to stay in Charlotte would meet the state’s definition. “Your domicile is where you intend it to be, not where the council thinks it should be,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. Demonstrating intent is a tricky matter, Ayres said. Proof of intent of

establishing a domicile depends on a number of factors, although courts typically find that voter registration is the foremost component, Ayres noted. “There is no perfect line that says, ‘If you have these,’ then you qualify,” he said. Hall said he maintained his bank account, mailing address, tax status, voter registration and other such functions in Ocean City during his time in North Carolina. “I’ve maintained my domicile in Ocean City. I’ve also lived in Charlotte. There’s a difference between the two,” Hall said. “It’s no different than a person who goes to Florida for the winter, comes back, and decides they’re going to run for office.” Hall served on the Council for 10 years prior to his ouster in 2012. He was a key player in pushing through the 2011 salary and pension reforms, along with Ashley, Pillas, and former Council President Jim Hall. “I’m running again for the same reason I’ve run in every election, since I was in my 30s,” Joe Hall said. “I enjoy serving Ocean City and I have something to offer with my depth of knowledge of all the city’s government functions.” Bolt is the owner of the Greenhouse Deli on 15th Street, and also owns a general contracting business where she offers construction management services. “I fully understand the city’s building codes, requirements, everything related to construction,” she said. “I’m actually really looking forward to that, when the city has projects coming up, I can read and evaluate the blueprints myself.” Bolt has lived in the resort for 14 years, and raised her 20-year-old daughter here. One of the major concerns she is looking to address is the flight of younger residents and employees off the island, to West Ocean City or elsewhere in the county. “I’m so afraid that in another 20 years, we’re going to wake up and there’s going to be nobody here, there’ll be no families and no kids that were actually raised in town,” Bolt said.

Mortality rate of discarded fish key concern Continued from Page 7 commercial and recreational (fishing),” he said. “They’re not even put together in a manner that makes sense and going forward it’s going to the difficult. “If it’s too difficult to understand, the person explaining it can’t explain it acceptably and that’s what we’ve been getting,” he said. Seigel hopes for more uniform formulas in the amendment. Quota distribution Though he doesn’t necessarily see anything wrong with the current 40/60 split of the flounder quota between recreational and commercial fishers, Nieman wants justification for the split in the amended FMP. “There are various things that have changed. The economics have changed,” he said. Watkins said he wants safeguards to keep other states from taking a piece of Maryland’s flounder quota. “We don’t need to be giving anything up, because once you give it up, its really hard to get back,” he said. Fishing techniques Nieman also wants the council and commission to consider new fishing technologies as the plan amendment process proceeds, keeping in mind that equipment advances make fishing more efficient. “As the electronics get cheaper and

cheaper and better and better, targeting the fish gets easier,” he said. “It’s really important that you all protect that stock.” Ecosystem approach Frank Watkins, president of the local Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), suggested a more comprehensive approach to ensuring a sustainable flounder fishery, which could include protecting the fish during spawning season and at known spawning locations and studying their migratory patterns. Ken Wolf, CCA president and a MSSW member, agreed examining the fishery at the ecosystem level is crucial. “Without that being an integral part, it looks very unprofessional,” he said. “Ecosystems are absolutely coming in at a higher consideration than they ever have been,” Luisi said in response, though he added the formulas at the ecosystem level can be incredibly complicated. And the flounder stock isn’t struggling, he said. “The populations proved to be healthy at this point … When you’re at that point of good health, it’s not always necessary for the primary goal to be reductions to keep people from harvesting. “Instead of seeing ‘reduce,’ I see ‘maintain.’” The long road to update the sum-

mer flounder fishery management plan continues with scoping hearings and other public comment through the fall, which the council and commission will use this winter to identify the top priorities in the new management plan. Next spring and summer, the groups plan to use those issues to create options for the amended plan, which they will review, refine and approve by summer 2016. Another series of public hearings will take place in fall 2016 before the council and commission consider the public’s comments in finalizing the plan.

Last month, it became known that the city had interviewed and was considering two outside legal firms that specialize in constitutional law to review the city’s strategy regarding the sticky First Amendment issue. “The council has now authorized me to retain the Venable Law Firm in Baltimore,” City Solicitor Guy Ayres said this week. “They’re working up a timetable now with the course of action they intend to follow. I expect to have something back shortly.” Complaints from visitors and business owners about Boardwalk performers have risen steadily in over the past several years, and sharply over this past summer season, particularly with the addition of a pole dancer, albeit a clothed one. But given that the city has gone to court three times – and lost three times – on performer regulations, options for control must follow a very fine legal line. Essentially, Venable would be tasked with reviewing the city’s past and present ordinances regarding performance or solicitation in public space, as well as the court cases surrounding them. Changes could then be made to improve control over the number and activities of performers, without conflicting with any free speech rights, as has been the case in the past. Any new legislation could, of course, also result in a suit that would take the city to the mat for the fourth time. Under the contract, however, Venable would agree to represent the city in any resulting court cases. “They’ve given us an hourly rate, and agreed to a cap in total cost,” Ayres said. “That does not include litigation, if there is litigation resulting.” “They [Venable] do have First Amendment experience, and municipal law experience,” Ayres said. “One of the attorneys is someone I’ve worked with before.” In 2011, the city was hit with a lawsuit from Boardwalk spray-paint artist Mark Chase in conjunction with the Rutherford Institute, claiming that the city’s permitting process for street performers impeded free expression. If the city had no compelling reason to require permits other than for the sake of control itself, it was argued, it was a violation of the First Amendment. Although the city may still restrict placement of performers for public safety and emergency access, the perSee VENABLE Page 10

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Despite having issued notice of legal action over two months ago, Ocean City government has yet to pull the trigger on condemnation proceedings for the site of the proposed boat ramp at 64th Street. City Solicitor Guy Ayres said this week that the city has held off on condemnation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lengthy, costly court process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; under the expectation that the land may be sold to a buyer who would be more amendable to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands than the current owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My understanding is that [the owner] has entered into a contract to sell that area of land to an individual who has agreed to convey the lots the city wants to the city, at the price we had offered.â&#x20AC;? The city had offered Robert Kirchiro, who owns the property along with his partner, Matin Maghsoudzadeh, $25,000 for the five parcels needed to construct a two-lane boat ramp. However, Kirchiro was not as confident in the deal this week as the city seemed to believe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be done when I see the color of money, so to speak,â&#x20AC;? Kirchiro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain. At this point, at least, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buying some time.â&#x20AC;? The property consists of 32 mostly submerged lots on the south side of 64th Street, for which Kirchiro paid $202,240 to the estate of his late grandfather, Hartford Bealer, in 2007. Given the highly selective development potential, the lots were valued at half that for tax purposes and Kirchiro and Maghsoudzadeh later petitioned to have the assessed value on the five in question lowered to $10,000, much to

the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skepticism. Kirchiro and Maghsoudzadeh maintain that the current assessed value is appropriate for the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present taxable condition, but that the development value of the land, to the right buyer, is still close to $200,000. If the city were to condemn, Kirchiro and Maghsoudzadeh would receive only $10,000 for the land. The city has a standing offer of $25,000, which it believes is generous in comparison. Kirchiro has also battled with the city over his allegations that the city was using local developer and planning commissioner Peck Miller, representing Dead Freddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant, to arrange a sale of Kirchiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land to the eatery. Dead Freddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has expressed willingness to sell the needed land back to the city, or grant an easement. Miller has denied that he received any inside information or impetus from the city, and was simply working in the best interest of his client â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still interested in a deal with Dead Freddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but just through them, not through the city or anyone else,â&#x20AC;? Kirchiro said this week. Further, Kirchiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skepticism has been further piqued upon learning that the city was involved in resolving a clerical mistake on the deed he received from his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a bank representing the estate, and apparently there was some kind of merger where the bank changed its name, and then signed as a different bank than the one that had been appointed as Mr. Bealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative,â&#x20AC;? Ayres said. Ayres requested that the buyer interested in Kirchiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property obtain See TOWN Page 12

Venable to represent council Continued from Page 9 mitting scheme was thrown out by U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Hollander. A little over a year after the Chase case, the city was hit with another suit, this one by the American Civil Liberties Union and Boardwalk violinist William Hassay, who claimed that the use of a 30-foot noise restriction by the OCPD to stop one of his performances was arbitrary and also in violation of the Constitution. Again, Hollander found the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulations to be too non-specific. In order to restrict free speech, the policy would need to be unbiased and uniformly applicable, which it was not. But the rulings did uphold the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to limit performersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; placement for public accessibility, as long as reasonable alternative locations were provided. The city has both the power to keep public rights-of-way clear of obstruction, and provide right-of-access to private property. Over this past summer, however, many Boardwalk businesses complained that crowds of spectators sur-

rounding performers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pole Dollâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were forcing foot traffic to flow away from their storefronts. The Ocean City Police Department, however, has expressed a reluctance to curtail the crowds in too stringent a manner, fearing further litigation. Watching or participating in a form of constitutionally protected expression is also protected. Although not recently, the city has also had difficulty dealing with the common complaint that street performers are not subject to the same financial burdens as owners of actual Boardwalk businesses. In 1995, the city attempted to stop the group One World One Family Now, a spiritual and environmental advocacy group, from selling T-shirts on the Boardwalk. The organization sued, and took the case to court, arguing that their operation supported protected speech. Judge Marvin Garbis ruled against the city, stating that the ability to receive money does not negate the First Amendment protections offered.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) A father ambles down the sandy shore while his son splashes and plays in the surf on a clear cloudless Ocean City weekend. Dad may not be paying complete attention until he hears the scream: “Help!” The father knows that voice. Looking up from the sand mound he’d been kicking, he sees the raised arms of his boy flailing in the water. Maybe his first reaction is to look around to see if there are any lifeguards on duty. This time of year, the Ocean City Beach Patrol has limited staff making the rounds. More often than not, the father will do what the OCBP reported he did last Saturday: Jump in the water to save his son. “Swimming rescues often lead to multiple deaths. Quite often it’s the parent,” Beach Patrol Lt. Ward Kovacs said. “This is why we so often say people shouldn’t be swimming when there

are no guards on duty. Call 911.” Luckily, there were guards close. “We had guards on 55th Street to initiate the rescue. The guard on duty was one of our assistant crew chiefs whose coverage area was centered on 68th Street,” Kovacs said. The incident occurred close to 71st Street just before 1 p.m. “The crew chief, Andrew Padley, was on his home turf,” Kovacs said. The fire department was hot on Padley’s heels and helped effect the rescue. Holding true to Kovacs’ prediction, the father turned out worse for wear in this scenario. Town Spokesperson Jessica Waters said the pair were evaluated and declined transportation to Atlantic General Hospital for further examination. Kovacs said the father was taken to the hospital but was unaware of his status. Although the man needed help exiting the water, he was conscious and alert.

Town anticipates deal with third party if sale occurs Continued from Page 10 a confirmation from the bank prior to dealing with the city. “It was my suggestion that we get a confirmation signature,” Ayres said. Dead Freddie’s has been paying Kirchiro $5,000 per year to rent a portion of his land used for outdoor dining. Kirchiro’s land, although not buildable itself, would also confer density rights to an adjacent property. Although the State of Maryland will be paying for necessary dredging, the city will be paying entirely for the construction of the new ramp at 64th Street, which will essentially buy out the state’s stake in the current municipal boat ramp on Caribbean Drive near 87th Street. Because that ramp was built with state funds, the city is limited as to how much it can charge for access and how much it can restrict use. The ramp consistently loses money,

and is a nuisance for the neighborhood around it. In order to relive pressure the Caribbean Drive facility, however, the new boat ramp will need to be two lanes. The city borrowed $750,000 two years ago to help pay for the project, which is expected to total around $4 million, including state-funded dredging as well as the cost of the land previously purchased for the wastewater plant. The city decided in August to submit plans for a single-lane boat ramp, to be built entirely on its own property, in order to get the state and federal permitting processes started. If and when land for a second lane is acquired, the applications could be amended. The permitting process typically takes about nine months, with construction expected to take another year to 18 months, according to City Engineer Terry McGean.

Two new reporters, Brian Gilliland and Kara Hallissey join the team of Editor/Publisher Stewart Dobson, Managing Editor Lisa Capitelli, and fellow reporters Zack Hoopes, Josh Davis and Clara Vaughn, as well as intern Taylor Sloan. Gilliland is a veteran reporter and editor, having worked locally at Oceana Magazine, the Maryland Times Press, Worcester County Times, Ocean Pines Independent, Beachcomber, Salisbury Daily Times and was the previous editor of DelmarvaNow.com. He has had many columns and articles featured on different websites and magazines, from restaurant reviews to Search Engine Optimization strategies and lives in Snow Hill with his wife Lora Bottinelli and sons Julian, 5, and Grady, 2. Hallissey is from Ridley Park, Pa. and a recent graduate of Temple University with a bachelor degree in communications/public relations. She has been freelancing with the Coastal Point newspaper since moving into Sussex County more than one year ago. She enjoys rooting for Philadelphia sports teams, reading and joins several other members of staff hoping to one day publish (or sell) a novel. These changes are the first in a series of augmentations Ocean City Today plans to make in the coming months to continue to improve the newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relevance, completeness and reputation as the premier news source for Ocean City and the surrounding areas.

City capital plan close, but within, town’s debt margin Skate park improvements, replacement of Whiteside Building lead ‘16 projects

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) If anything, the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is like a Christmas list, at least insofar as being a list of things one hopes to acquire. Most children’s letters to Santa, presumably, don’t include items like $12 million in sewer replacements over the next five years. The city’s CIP, as presented at this week’s City Council session, hasn’t changed much over the version presented last year as part of the city’s strategic planning process. Despite the still rather large total price tag – $118 million – city officials stressed that nothing is absolute. “Some of this may be moved or delayed,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “It was part o the strategic plan that we identify and list all of these. You’re going to see some of these approved, and some move up and down this document as time goes by.” Under the current five-year CIP, the city has scheduled $118 million in capital projects out through the end of the 2018-2019 fiscal cycle. Such projects

can be paid for through a multitude of funding mechanisms, some of which present less of a fiscal challenge than others. In a number of cases, the city will be able to support specific improvements by paying with the user fees or taxes associated with those improvements, or borrowing against the projected future income from those fees and taxes. In the case of the wastewater improvements, for instance, the city is planning to borrow $3 million per year, beginning next year, which will be repaid using the Wastewater Department’s own revenue stream. Most of this consists of the roughly $11 million that the city collects annually in per-fixture wastewater impact fees. In other cases, however, capital improvements depend not on the city’s independent “enterprise” funds, such as wastewater, but rather on the General Fund, which is supported by property taxes and most other nonspecific revenue sources. Either money is borrowed by leveraging bonds against the General Fund, or the city embarks on “pay-as-yougo” projects using General Fund money as it becomes available. Under the current CIP, the city plans to borrow more than $49 million in the next five years, of which $16

Current debt payout 6.85 percent of city’s general fund million will encumber the General Fund, and the rest supported by dedicated user fees. The city currently has outstanding debt of around $96 million. No General Fund borrowing is slated to happen this year, but the CIP calls for $5.6 million of General Fund debt in 2016. Roughly $4.3 million o this will be for the renovation and expansion of the Ocean Bowl Skate Park and other recreation facilities between Third and Fourth Streets, a long-awaited project made possible by recent deed cession granted to the city by the county, which owns the land. Another half-million will be borrowed for improvements to the downtown Lifesaving Museum, and a further $840,000 will go for the replacement of the Whiteside Building, the city’s downtown public works warehouse which houses the trams and Boardwalk maintenance supplies. Debt, and thus the extent of capital improvements, is limited by three standing criteria. First, total debt as a percentage of the city’s assessed tax base can be no more than three percent. It currently stands at 1.08 percent. Secondly, the city must be on track to retire 65 percent or more of its debt within 10 years, and currently stands to pay off

78 percent in the next decade. Finally, total General Fund debt service – the combination of both interest payments and payoff of principal – must consume no more than eight percent of the General Fund annually. This is typically the controlling requirement for the city, as the amount of the General Fund eaten up by debt repayment has grown in recent years to 6.85 percent – still under the limit. However, Council members Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas asked – as they have previously – for the city to provide a projection of its debt payments assuming that all of the money the CIP proposes to use is actually borrowed. “I need to know what we are going to look like by 2019 if we actually do [the CIP],” Pillas said. The city’s payments on its current debt are projected to peak in 2017 at a cost of around $5.25 million to the General Fund, according to data provided by city Finance Director Martha Bennett. Given the city’s current annual budget, the eight percent cap is around $6 million. This would mean that any bond issue in 2016 would have to incur additional debt service of less than $750,000 in order for the city to stay within its debt guidelines.

Worcester approves ‘pay as you throw’ garbage program County residents may now purchase per-bag tags for trash in lieu of flat rate

" # $# " "& #

OCTOBER 10, 2014

Jayne’s

RELIABLE

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) You do your part. You separate, you sort, you recycle. You try to do the best you can to reduce waste, because garbage is, by its very nature, gross. Especially with kids. But then you look down the block. You see that guy. You know him. He’s emptied the entire contents of his house for what appears to be the third time this week. There it all is: pile after pile after pile. Why should your trash fees be calculated in the same way his are? Approved in June for 2015, the commissioners are offering residents a choice in how they handle their household waste with the aims of keeping costs in line with use, encouraging more recycling and lengthening the life of landfills. The first is the familiar, yet more expensive than in previous years. Household permits will cost $100 for the first two registered vehicles on Jan. 1, 2015 and a third can be purchased for another $100. The price will not be prorated depending

on the purchase date (buy early) nor will the price change if fewer permits are purchased. Homeowners will have to fill out an application and the permits will be sold at the Treasurer’s Office, Isle of Wight Office, the Central Landfill or via regular mail. The new option, a pilot program, is called “pay as you throw.” Tags can be purchased in blocks of five for $5 at any of the above locations except through the mail (the county is not tracking them). They do not expire, are the owner’s responsibility and are nonrefundable. Each tag is good for a bag up to 33 gallons in size of household trash. Tipping fees are still in effect for construction/demolition items, tree stumps etc. while disposing of recyclable material is free. The tags can only be used for household trash. Businesses, even home-based ones, must pursue a contract with an outside hauler to dispose of their waste. The new fee structure is expected to reduce the existing Solid Waste Enterprise Fund deficit by at least $120,000. The deficit, reported in the minutes of the June meeting, required a nearly $1 million transfer from reserve funds to cover the shortfall.

County hazard plan: rising sea levels, landslides? Revised report identifies critical facilities, at-risk communities in Wo. Co.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) While reading any hazard report with a nonzero entry for risk of landslide on the peninsula can give one pause, the rest of the updates to 2006’s hazard mitigation plan pleased officials enough to move it along in the approval process.

Widespread distribution is the next step, with the full text being made available to other municipalities under the plan’s sphere of influence, the public and the scheduling of a public hearing on the topic within council chambers. From there, the municipalities will have to approve the draft plan before it comes back to the commissioners for approval. After all that, the plan goes back to FEMA for its approval. FEMA endorsed the preliminary draft of the plan unaffected by recent changes in March.

Commissioners Bunting and Shockley were reported to have a few issues with the draft previously introduced in April, and changes have been made in this latest draft to address those concerns. The main points of distinction between the plan as reported in supporting documents to the commissioners include: • The 2014 plan addresses the National Flood Insurance program, although new FEMA floodplain maps were not included because the maps are still under review.

• Sizes from 6 Months to 3X • Local Motion • Body Glove • Bulky Boy • Maui and Sons • Cobian • Ocean City Surf Club Authorized Retailer • OCBP Capt Craig Swim Tees • Lucky Surf Shop/OCBP Calendars • Skate and Surf Sections

410-524-LUCK (5825) 115th St • Inside the Gold Coast Mall near Candy Kitchen

Fall Savings

• At-risk populations were identified rather than just identifying vulnerable land. • Facilities identified as “critical” by communities are identified on maps geographically. • Updated storm data since 2006 has been included. • The historical significance of past storms is used to underline how vulnerable Worcester County is to flooding. • Dangers of rising sea levels are underscored with newer data. • Mitigation strategies have been enhanced with goals, objectives and action items. • Some items are highlighted to qualify for credit under the Community Rating system, which may affect insurance rates in the region. There is, at least according to the hazard report, some risk of a landslide taking place somewhere, sometime. As to where that might be, apparently no one would hazard a guess.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) You’ve got your malware, spyware, bloatware, DDoS attacks, worms, spam, rootkits, cookies, glitches, bugs, features and the professionals trained to prevent, avoid or remove them – and now some of those code warriors are going to be trained at Wor-Wic. As part of a nearly $15 million federal grant program servicing a consortium of 14 community colleges in Maryland called Cyber-technology Pathways Across Maryland (CPAM) Wor-Wic Community College will be taking nearly $800,000 in funds to revamp equipment and hire a staff person to shepherd the augmented educational program. The purpose of the CPAM initiative is to help the un- and under-employed, veterans and other low-skilled adults obtain the required education and skills they need to fill good-paying cyber security and information technology job openings across the state. “It goes really well with the certificate program we launched last fall, but the emphasis is on a two-year program,” Sandra Pierson, director of media and community relations for the college, said. According to Pierson, the college’s existing computer lab will be upgraded with the latest technology to become a security and networking lab. “With increasing attacks, companies need someone trained to take care of these issues,” she said, and Wor-Wic will be slated to begin training these potential employees beginning next summer. The program will follow a “flipped classroom” model. Lectures will be recorded and assigned as homework, while time spent in the classroom will be dedicated to hands-on experience and experimentation, Pierson said. This model should make it easier for students to manage their time and will facilitate distance learning, she said. The school will hire a “college and career navigator,” someone trained to advise potential students, act as an intermediary during studies, and advocate for graduates to work with the One Stop Job Center to identify potential candidates. Class sizes and schedules have not been determined, but as each classroom can only hold about 30 students at one time, Pierson said the admission rates could be extrapolated from there. Wor-Wic President Dr. Ray Hoy and Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs Dr. Stephen Capelli accepted the award at the White House last week.

OC CANDIDATE INTERVIEW This week marks the start of Ocean City Today’s biennial series of city election interviews, leading up to the Nov. 4 ballot. This week’s candidates are council contenders Tony DeLuca (below) and Philip Ufholz (page 26).

TONY DELUCA

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Ocean City Today: So tell me a bit about your background, and why you’re interested in doing this [serving on council]? Tony DeLuca: I feel like this is the best way I can give back to society. I’ve been very fortunate in my life and my career, and I feel this is the best way to give back. My wife, Joyce, and my family love this place. As soon as I had the opportunity to move here, I reached out and wanted to get involved. It took me quite a while to get appointed to the Board of Port Wardens. I said, “I just want to get involved.” I love the city, just give me something to work on. I’ve been on that over two years, on the Board of Port Wardens, appointed by the mayor. I’ve been coming here a long time, with my parents at first. They always brought me when I was small. I met my wife on the Boardwalk at Ninth

Street, like I said, when we were in high school. Here we are 49 years later, which is pretty incredible. I bought a place in 1988, 26 years ago, and then as soon as I retired I bought another place and sold my other place, and moved here permanently in 2008. It’s something we’ve always wanted to do – my wife and I talked about it a lot. My grandchildren love the beach, I mean, what’s there not to like? They’re here very often. In my career, I worked for Kentucky Fried Chicken – Yum! Brands – and was with them for 46 years. I was in charge of franchising. I had half the United States. I was in charge of sales, profits, and people development. I had 350 franchisees, 2,000 restaurants, so I do know about budgets and responsibility. OCT: One thing that comes up pretty much every election is that it’s difficult, in a town that’s really pretty small, to get people who really want to run. It’s a lot of work. You really have to go out of your way. Is the work you’d be doing on council something that you think you’d enjoy, something you feel obligated to try out, or what? TD: That’s a good question. I think it’s a little bit of both of what you said. I want to give back and I kind of love being involved. On the Board of Port Wardens, I’ve visited every single property every meeting.

Tony DeLuca

Every pier, every piling, every bulkhead, every meeting. I just like being involved with the details. I enjoy it and I feel like I can do it at a higher level. As soon as I moved into my condo, I ran for the board because I wanted to get involved. I was elected, and I was treasurer for a year, and then next year I was elected president, which I am currently. I’m also chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee, which as you may remember was given a Beauty Spot award a few weeks ago at the council meeting. That’s something I was really proud of, being able to make things cleaner, better looking. Our condo was built six or seven

years ago, and already it’s getting better. OCT: As someone who’s been living here for a while, do you feel the city strikes the right balance between the visiting population – which is obviously the big economic driver – and the resident population? Increasingly so, with events like the other weekend [H2Oi], there seems to be some chafing. TD: I think most of my priorities and the things I want to bring to council speak to both visitors and residents. I want to talk about police, ambulance service, the special events that happen here. Those things go to both. The bottom line, as I look at our visitors … visitors bring a lot of money to this town for the residents. Room tax, sales tax – residents really benefit from visitors coming to this town. They benefit in their taxes, our taxes are lower because of the revenue from visitors, and I certainly want to keep taxes low. I think there’s a great balance between both. Something like the smoking ban – that effects both. You have to consider a balance. OCT: You touched on fire and police, do you think those services are doing well? I would say they both have grown over the past 10-15 years, pretty rapidly, but it seems like there’s still never enough. TD: Yeah, that’s well put. Two of my personal goals are first, police. I

PAGE 21

TONY DELUCA want to see a greater police presence on the Boardwalk. I think Mary Knight brought forward the profanity issue on the Boardwalk right now, and this is a family town for everyone, my kids and grandkids included. I just think if we can get more police on the Boardwalk, it will really help residents and visitors. The second goal, as I mentioned, is ambulances. We had a lot of calls this year. I would like to see an evaluation done on vehicles, and if necessary I’d like to see the purchase and staffing of another ambulance. OCT: That did happen this summer, where we had enough crews on duty but not enough actual ambulances. I know they’ve leased a couple before from a private fleet. With what you said about police, and profanity on the Boardwalk, I think there’s a bigger question there of what municipal government can do in terms of what is a cultural problem, so to speak. Many times when the town comes under fire from visitors who don’t like the attitude of other visitors, the city says - the mayor says it often – that times are changing, and this isn’t going to be the Ocean City of the 1960s. TD: As I think through that whole thing … anyone can come to Ocean City, whether it’s sanctioned or unsanctioned. I know after this past weekend, there’s been a lot of discus-

sion, every door I knock on it gets asked. So as I think through that, I know we have time to work on it. It’s a huge challenge. We all know it is. But we do have time. I’d love to be elected and be able to be a part of that. There has to be something we can do to attack that challenge. I haven’t put together a plan to address it, but I want to actively listen. I don’t want to have things decided. I think it’s so important, the word “active.” I want to hear what residents have to say, what visitors have to say, what businesses have to say, before I make any decisions. That’s so important. OCT: A lot has been said in the past about getting more contributions out of visitors, in terms of revenue – parking meters, things like that. Some people would say that’s counterproductive. Can you give me a sense of where you fall on that? If you were on the council last year, what would you have done with the whole issue? TD: The budget issue, to me, that’s really all about balancing service with the budget. It was talked about last night, articulated a couple different times by Joe [Mitrecic] and Lloyd [Martin]. Joe said he’d sign [Tony Christ’s] petition to lower taxes, too. You knock on somebody’s See TONY DELUCA Page 22

TONY DELUCA Continued from Page 21 door and say “do you want lower taxes?” Of course. But you also have to ask, at the same time, what you want to cut? I’m against the parking, period. You don’t put meters in residential neighborhoods. I’d vote no to that every single time. It was ridiculous. You have to balance the budget with what services we want, but you can’t do things like that. I have a real opinion on the smoking, and that’s coming up. I support the ban on smoking to designated areas. I think this is really important, and here’s why – you need to tell people where to smoke. As I envision the beach, and my grandkids, you put a sign back by the dunes with a sign that says “smoke within 10 feet of the sign.” You need to tell someone where to smoke. The reason that’s so important to me is if you just banned it, said “no smoking anywhere,” people are going to smoke right off the entrances to the Boardwalk, an everyone – you, me, my grandkids – are going to walk through a cloud of smoke down to the Boardwalk. I think you really need to have designated areas. It’s probably baby steps, but it’s necessary. That’s a very specific issue. When I knock on doors, people say “where are you on smoking?” Not even “hi” or “how are you,” just “where are you on smoking?” OCT: It’s come up for years, like Joe said last night, when people ask “why is the city collecting this much money” be it taxes or parking meters or whatever. The bottom line is that they use the money to provide stuff, and if you want to collect less money than you need to decide what stuff you don’t want. Is there anything you see that can be cut or handled better? Is there anywhere that the city is going overboard? TD: To be honest, I haven’t looked at that. But when I’m elected, I will. But no, I haven’t really thought about cuts or revenue generating, or that balance, what we can cut versus how we can make room for more. OCT: One of the things that I think really controls the budget, more than anything else, are the police union negotiations, which will be coming up after the election. The city took on $1 million in employee raises last year, and another $1 million on top of that this year. Where do you see yourself standing on these pension and salary issues? TD: I really don’t know about that yet. For now, I just know my priorities and what I’m hearing from the public. But I will find out. OCT: Related, but not involving the budget specifics, is that the city has traditionally not allowed the public into the union contract negotiations on the grounds that they don’t want to compromise the deal by showing either side’s hand. It’s a very tight issue with regard to transSee TONY DELUCA Page 24

Continued from Page 22 parency. How would you treat something like that? What kind of things should the public be allowed into? TD: That’s a great question, and I have a lot of passion about it. I really believe in transparency in all matters. I believe it in everything I’ve ever done, my career, all of my jobs, the condo association. Closed sessions are for personnel issues and legal matters. I often say too much about things, because I am transparent, and sometimes get criticized for it. I would say I have three priorities, and that’s number one, transparency in all matters. OCT: What are the other priorities, policy goals? TD: Well, first off, I think the council has done a great job. They’re forward-thinkers. When you think about the economy, about 2007 and 2008, what happened in the United States and the city, [the council] reduced the budget. And we continued to have vacationers, still, come into the city. Since 2008, we’re on the upswing in terms of vacationers. They took decisive action when they needed to take action. I also think the town does a great job, special events do a great job. Sunfest was really up this year. Movies on the beach, the events that they do, those are for visitors and residents. I really think that is important to keep strong. In terms of priorities, we talked about transparency. Another priority that I feel really strongly about is the integrity of the residential neighborhoods. It’s an issue we’ve already seen, and I think it’s really important. Right now, they are clean, safe, and it’s a place where I would have any of my family members live. The other thing I’m really big on is small business success alongside big business success. With my back-

ground, those two really need to prosper side-by-side in order for Ocean City to be sustainable and as familyoriented as it could be. As I’ve sat down and thought about it for a year now, those are the three things. OCT: When you say small and large business succeeding together, how does that work? TD: The two together need to integrate and help each other. I know there are organizations right now in town that talk about that, in terms of business clubs. Think about the tram advertising. Local, small business get first crack at that opportunity, which really helps their business because you can walk to Dolle’s or Thrasher’s, and they can be right up there. But once you’ve offered it, then you can offer it to the big business. That’s an example of how they can get together. Why not go after the small, local, and then bring the big business in? I think McDonald’s was the test for the one tram this year, and now that’s created the option of doing all 16 next year. OCT: So you’re talking about creating a lot of opportunities for small business while also using some big business to kind of prop it up as well? TD: Yes. OCT: I have to say you’ve probably been at more council meetings than anyone else [amongst the candidates]. TD: It’s kind of strange. If you want to really get involved, you think you’d be at the meetings. That’s one of the reasons I said I really need to do this. I need to understand some of the issues, the commitment involved. OCT: As someone who’s been there lately, what’s your impression of the tenor of the meetings? TD: I think it’s very healthy. Spirited discussion and disagreements are very healthy and very important. I think that every City Council person

OC CANDIDATE INTERVIEW

PHILIP UFHOLZ

Ocean City Today: I feel like your big card going into this election is your national political experience, during the Reagan years. How do you see that tying in with municipal government? Philip Ufholz: There’s a lot to learn dealing with politicians, dealing with issues. Like that pole dancer that I understand showed up on the Boardwalk, and they’re looking to hire somebody, a lawyer. I was a trial lawyer. I could contribute something to this. Not that they wouldn’t have to hire anyone, but I could help. All of my experience in that gives me something to contribute to the city to help it continue to grow and prosper. Not that I think there’s anything particularly bad about the city, but I want to see it continue to move forward. OCT: As someone who’s had the same property for a very long time, what kind of changes do you see in the residential base, versus the visitorship, which the city obviously needs for economic purposes? Everyone is on edge in that regard after two weeks’ ago. PU: My understanding is that the event [H2Oi] was unauthorized and the city was not happy with how it turned out. I don’t know what you can do about that. I don’t know that you can really stop them. I guess you could say “you can’t come here unless you follow certain guidelines,” I suppose you could try something like that, but everything else that comes here – the motorcycle guys, the Corvettes – everything that comes through every year is authorized and works very well and has never been a problem. These events go on all year. It’s always worked for years and years. I will say this, no question about

it, Ocean City has to have tourism. Basically, you’re looking at Memorial Day though Labor Day and a little beyond, but not that much. If the city does not make money during that period, then we’re all hurting bad. A lot of folks that live here, not that they’re all seasonal, but during those months, they have a job. They may have other jobs at other times, but that’s the big thing for them. If you lose tourism, the whole year is difficult. OCT: Do you think tourism has reached a plateau? How can it continue to grow? PU: Not that the city isn’t doing it, but keeping our beaches clean is the basic thing. We have the nicest beaches on the East Coast, as far as I’ve seen, and I’ve been all over, to Jersey, Florida, South Carolina. As long as we keep them clean, the tourists will come for the beaches. Where will they stay? They stay in condos, motels – less so hotels, I think, because they’re too expensive. Hotels are more of a weekend business. The only thing that might discourage them is the room tax, and I don’t know what you do about that? Do you lower it? That’s not for me to say.

PHILIP UFHOLZ So do I think it’s hit a plateau? No, but I think there’s room for improvement. OCT: Well, the room tax is collected by the state on the city’s behalf. The town could ask to lower it, if you thought that was going to have an effect. Do you think the city would be better off with lower-priced offerings? One of the things you hear is that Ocean City is nice, but expensive. PU: Right. The hotels are, the condos, in my experience, are not. It’s up to each individual owner what they want to charge based on what their accommodation is. I don’t’ rent, I never have. But I’ve seen my building – I was president of the condo association at the Sea Terrace for 12 years, and when I became president, 95 percent did not rent. But in the years after I left office, it increased and increased to the point where it was 60 percent of our units were rented in the summer. The prices were pretty high, but people came. OCT: Over the past couple summers, people have been complaining more about the type of visitor the resort brings in. More unruly young people, less family oriented as it once was. PU: That happens mostly downtown, on the Boardwalk. You don’t see that up here, you don’t see that on the beaches up here. I would say you don’t see that anywhere north of 33rd Street up to the Delaware line. You see this on the Boardwalk at night. What you do about that, I don’t know. Do you arrest them? You have to have cause to arrest them. They’d have to be drinking in the streets, or drunk driving, or getting in fights, but they’re not doing that, what do you do? If they’re paying their fee in a motel and not causing problems, you can’t kick them out. It’s private property. As far as the city is concerned, it’s tough to control that sort of thing. You can’t post a guard at the bridge. I imagine it would be pretty expensive, too. OCT: More than likely. That leads into the question of how the city can reduce costs or other services to allow for growth in things like that. PU: Well, if you reduce taxes you have to cut services, and you don’t want to do that. You have to watch out for maintenance of the streets and things like that. It’s a real quandary. The property owners – the people in the small houses may not pay very high taxes, the condo owners definitely do, particularly the large buildings. Our building is not as bad as some of the others. My bill would be $4,000 or so a year for a two-bedroom. Somebody told me that that 85 percent of the taxes in OC come from the condos, and the majority of them are not permanent residents. I am, but it’s hard to find too many. In my building, there’s six, out of 128 units. See PHILIP UFHOLZ Page 28

PHILIP UFHOLZ Continued from Page 27 OCT: So do you think the city needs more year-round residents to maintain its vibrancy, economically and socially? PU: Well, how do you do that without more jobs? You have to have year-round jobs to have year-round residents. I’m retired, so I don’t need it. But the people that would presumably come need year-round jobs. Basically, the economy only thrives on tourism in the summer. What do you have in the off-season? One of the things I’ve thought about – because my daughter’s been involved in science for years – I was involved in helping Doug Duncan who was the county executive in Montgomery County many years ago, develop a whole biotech corridor on (Route) 270. Three hundred major biotechnology companies opened up shop out there, thousands of jobs. Everyone needed a place to live, they moved into all these vacant places, the economy boomed. It was a big boost for the whole county, and it helped every municipal program because all this money shot in. I said to someone a few years ago, “Wouldn’t it be great to get a biotech center out in Berlin or Snow Hill?” Beautiful location, climate, everything. I guess the county would have to do that. If they did, more people might start living in Ocean City. OCT: One of the things – one of the only things – you have direct control over as a member of council is the finances and the budget, what gets cut, what gets funded. Where do you see that going? PU: Well, I’d have to be elected and review everything. I wouldn’t want to pass judgment now without reviewing all the details of the budget, which I have not seen. I’d have to see what the salaries are – I know what a lot of them are, but do you cut them? How do you cut them and who do you cut? A lot of these people have been here for years doing a good job. As far as I can tell, the city has good services and the employees work hard. Every time I go down to City Hall everyone is great. OCT: There’s no easy answer. PU: No, there isn’t. They’ve had these problems a lot of places. They had them in the District of Columbia, and they put in parking meters everywhere. Then they put in speed cameras, and it cost them millions to do. But they raised $17 million the first year. There’s a lot of traffic, but you wouldn’t get that money here. It’s a very tough call. OCT: Speaking of meters, are there any policy decisions you’ve seen over the past few years that you would’ve done differently. PU: Not really. I think they’ve done a great job. OCT: One of the issues that always comes up is the city’s pension system, which was closed a few years ago and changed over to a 401(a), and See PHILIP UFHOLZ Page 30

PHILIP UFHOLZ Continued from Page 28 then the police lobbied to change it back. Do you have much experience with those financial issues? PU: I actually wrote a lot of the 401 laws when I was working for the Senate Finance Committee. Defined pension plans were great when they were there, for years, and the unions love it and don’t want to change it. But in terms of the economy and employers, and what’s good for them, is that they would much prefer to get rid of the defined benefit plans and move to defined contribution. I think 401 plans have worked out great. I had a 401(k) when I was in the private sector and built up a great

nest egg. When I was on Capitol Hill, I had a defined benefit. I’m collecting that now and it’s really good. OCT: One of the things that’s come up over the past few years, particularly this year, is that a lot of areas that used to be residential are now worth it for people to buy up property and rent them out. Have you seen that? PU: Not in our building, no, but across the street in the detached houses, yes. OCT: So how do you address that, from a policy standpoint? PU: I don’t’ see how you can. How do you stop somebody from buying a place? If somebody comes here and wants to buy, and they’ve got the money, they’re going to buy it and rent it out. The only thing you could do, and I’m not sure of the legalities,

is to pass zoning laws to say this is strictly residential and non-rental. OCT: Which the city floated the idea of, although it didn’t happen. PU: It would be very difficult. There’s a lot of legality in that, a lot of problems. People will say, “If I buy something, you can’t tell me what I can do with my property.” It would be tough. We thought about that in our condo. We had owners, and I was president at the time, and there were a lot that didn’t want o allow renters. They said “these people are disruptive, filthy, they make a mess of things,” and we debated that for a long time. But what do we do? We can’t tell an owner who is going to rent his place that he can’t rent it. OCT: What do you think the city is going to have to do to keep the city

OCTOBER 10, 2014 on track? PU: Well, we’ve got to have some new ideas to bring new business to the area, like the biotech corridor I mentioned. You’ve got to try to bring more business into town, but the only one in town is tourism and it’s seasonal. I don’t know of any other industry that would want to come down here. I think the mayor and council have done a lot over the years, but there’s only so much you can do. I’ve been up and down the East Coast, and there’s only so much. The only places I’ve seen are places like Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head. They boom all year, but their weather is warmer. The other thing they have is that they have tons of golf courses. But their weather is more conducive to that in the off-season, to play in November, December, January, February. I don’t’ know that anyone comes here for that in any numbers. OCT: In your government positions, what was your stance toward public transparency? Were you able to be candid with people, or did you encounter a lot of red tape? PU: I was always able to be candid with them. I wasn’t able to meet with constituents all the time, but I spoke with them readily. I used to have to participate in town hall meetings, answer a lot of stiff questions. I worked for a senator from Delaware, one from Wisconsin, then one from Idaho. Then when I was with the Treasury Department and the White House, I had to meet with people all the time on tax stuff. You can’t hide, let’s put it that way. Or you shouldn’t, or you’ll pay a price ultimately.

POLICE/COURTS

Domestic assault Police charged a West Ocean City man with second-degree assault in the early hours Monday morning after his girlfriend called the police. According to the victim, Donald Horace Johnson, 31, held her to the ground and hit her in the face. She had a swollen eye, bruising on both eyes as well as her arm and “multiple other bruises and scratches up and down both of… (her) arms,” according to the report. Johnson gave a different account, saying the two were arguing and she hit him in the face eight times. That, he said, is when he “couldn’t take it anymore” and grabbed her by the arm and shoulder to throw her to the ground and off of him. Johnson “said nothing happened and the only reason his girlfriend … called the police was to plot against him and get him in trouble,” the report said. He said he “only bear hugged her and would never hit her.” He had two cuts on his face. The officer did not believe Johnson’s story, stating, “his injuries did not coincide with what he stated,” and named Johnson the primary aggressor in the fight. On investigation, the officer found the living room in a state of disarray with clothing scattered, a guitar smashed and a hole in the wall. Johnson was released on $5,000 bail and under the condition that he

has no contact with the victim, who was his cohabitant. He is slated to appear in district court Nov. 12.

Driving under influence Police arrested an Easton woman Saturday night for a slew of traffic violations, including driving under the influence with her children in the car. Tina Marie Acree, 37, turned onto Coastal Highway from the 7-Eleven parking lot on 58th Street without her headlights on. An officer began following her in a marked car. She proceeded to drive in the bus lane for about two blocks before he turned on his lights around 48th Street. Police said Acree pulled into the Princess Bayside south parking lot on the same street, where she stopped at the parking garage and almost backed into the police car.

The officer said she appeared drunk. She was driving her 12-year-old daughter and her 5-year-old son. Acree failed field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer test. She is charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol; driving while impaired by alcohol; failure to obey traffic control device instructions; driving a moving vehicle without wearing a seatbelt; failure to use her car’s lights on the highway; negligent driving; two counts of driving a minor while impaired by alcohol; and unsafe backing of her car.

Drunk driver Police arrested a Jarrettsville man Saturday night after a license plate reader showed registration for his Ford F-150 has been suspended for violating emissions inspections. James Robert Knopp, 43, was travelling north on Coastal Highway around 2 a.m. when he changed lanes and swerved back and forth. An Ocean City Police officer stopped him near 79th Street and said Knopp appeared drunk. “Knopp did not know what street he was on and was confused about what location he was driving to,” the officer reported. The driver admitted to consuming six beers at a local bar before getting in his truck. He failed to complete field sobriety tests and breathalyzer found his blood alcohol level was .12 percent. Knopp faces charges of driving while under the influence of alcohol; driving with a blood alcohol above the .08 percent limit; driving while impaired by alcohol; unsafe lane changing; failure to obey designated lane directions; text messaging while driving on the highway; driving a vehicle with suspended registration on the highway; and failure to notify the administration of an address change.

OC: homeowners insurance 43 percent higher than avg. crime rate is almost three times the national average, which will always drive up the cost of insuring your house and the items in it.â&#x20AC;? This is even though the crime rate statistics employ a calculation based on the number of crimes committed as compared to yearround population, rather than take into consideration the multi-million-person visitor population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the plus side, all coastal towns in our studies from South Carolina down to Texas have higher homeowner insurance rates than Ocean City. The rates are very high for Maryland, but lower on the scale when compared to other coastal towns,â&#x20AC;? said Quinn. The study looked at one city in each of Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 counties and the rates were obtained from the Maryland Insurance Administration. The most expensive cities in the study for homeowners insurance are Ocean City, Rockville, Centreville, Prince Frederick and Easton. The least expensive are Cumberland, Oakland, Princess Anne, Hagerstown and Salisbury. The entire study is online at www.valuepenguin.com/best-cheap-homeown ers-insurance-maryland.

Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime rate versus low resident population drives rates up to highest in state

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeowners insurance costs are 43 percent more expensive than the state average, according to a recent study conducted by Value Penguin, a personal finance research company. Maryland is the 20th cheapest area for homeowners insurance in the United States. At the same time, Ocean City homeowners pay an average of $1,766 per year and are number one in the state for highest homeowners insurance. A major reason for that is obvious: Ocean City residents are paying more for homeowners insurance because of its location. The city is nestled along the Atlantic coast and many properties are within miles of the beach. Large storms and hurricanes come up the coastline bringing damaging wind and rain, which can make homes a liability and dramatically raise the costs to protect. Brian Quinn, who was the analyst on the study added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Several thousand custom and classic automobiles, hot rods, muscle cars, street machines and trick trucks are on display in the inlet parking lot last year during the annual Endless Summer Cruisin' event.

Annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ under way in OC

By Taylor Sloan Intern (Oct. 10, 2014) The 17th annual Endless Summer Crusin’ weekend roved into town Thursday and activities will continue through Sunday. “It’s a unique car show in the fact that there are constantly cars cruising Coastal Highway,” said Meredith Herbert, Endless Crusin’ Weekend coordinator. This four-day event continues to be one of the largest fall car shows in the Eastern region, showcasing new hot rods, including the 2014 Gene Winfield Award Winner, as well as customs and classic vehicles. Car shows will be taking place at the inlet parking lot, downtown, and the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street. Last year, the event featured 2,300 cars, and this year organizers anticipate the same turn out. The Endless Summer Crusin’ event kicked off on the Boardwalk Thursday at 8 a.m. with a car parade. There will be two more car parades Friday and Saturday at 8 a.m. The events at the inlet and Roland E. Powell Convention Center on Friday and Saturday begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. Sunday activi-

Page 41 ‘Night at the Hop’ party at Seacrets to benefit ACS

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Doctors will diagnose more than 4,500 Maryland women with breast cancer before the end of 2014, and residents locally are doing their part to help fight back through Ocean City’s Pink Ribbon Classic series. That multi-event continues tonight with a “Night at the Hop” at Seacrets on 49th Street, where the 12th annual Jammin’ Out Cancer takes place. For $20 at the door, guests will get a free house wine or draft beer, fare from 20 local restaurants, live music from Buddy Holly tribute band Oh Boy, jukebox favorites spun by DJs BK and DJ Bigler, a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle from 5-9 p.m. “It’s a good time. It’s a great way to get out helping the community raise funds [and] helping to end the fight (against breast cancer),” Jammin’ organizer Amy Katz said. “It’s just one of several events that make up the pink ribbon classic,” she added. Each October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Pink Ribbon Classic returns to the resort, bringing a series of events that bring attention to the disease while raising money for the American Cancer Society. Jammin’ Out Cancer is one of almost a dozen fundraising events that make up the series. Other Pink Ribbon events include fishing, golf and mahjong tournaments, scrapbooking gatherings and the Making Strides Walk on the Boardwalk, slated for Saturday, Oct. 18 this year. Over the years, the series has helped raise more than $2 million for the ACS, Katz said. Last year, around 200 came to Seacrets for Jammin’ Out Cancer, raising more than $10,000 for breast cancer research and programs, she said. Because Jammin’ coincides with the Endless Summer Cruisin’ car show, Katz decided to make it a sock hop theme again this year. In addition to music, guests can partake of food donated by around 20 local restaurants, including Barn 34, Tequila Mockingbird, Crab Bag, Mug & Mallet, Southside Deli, Smitty McGee’s and others in the “Taste of Ocean City.” There will be silent auctions for gift cards from local businesses, including Fager’s Island, OC Wasabi and OC Beach Wax. Some items up for auction include golf packages, wines from the West O Bottle Shop, hour-long massages, hair care products, oil changes See ANNUAL Page 42

Drive in Disguise Boardwalk Parade set for Oct. 25

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You could be caught in a torrent of advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues this week. But remember, Lamb, you are at your best when you are your own inimitable self.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect strong efforts to get you to accept things as they are and not question them. But ignore all that and continue your inquiries until you’re sure you have all the answers you need.

Car owners decorate their automobiles during last year’s Drive in Disguise Boardwalk Parade, presented by the Ocean City Downtown Association.

The event continues to grow and include more activities for participants. Last year, about 60 cars motored down the boards. “Every year, we have more to offer and getting the event out to the people is very important, said event organizer Nancy Howard. “Over 1,600 people have an Ocean City license plate and we would love to have 100 participants this year.” People who choose to decorate their cars can pick any theme, within tasteful

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Yes, you can put on your high-heeled sneakers and your alligator hat, or any other get-up you might prefer to wear during the fourth annual Drive in Disguise Boardwalk Parade on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. Presented by the Downtown Association of Ocean City, Drive in Disguise employs a Halloween theme, and while costumes are not required, they do add flair to the event, which allows residents and visitors to drive down the Boardwalk if they have a vintage OC license plate. And for those who don’t have such a plate? Anyone who wants to decorate his or her car can ride the boards for a donation of $25. Vintage license plates and decorated cars will start on 27th Street. They continue their ride and drive off the Boardwalk at the inlet parking lot. The public can vote for their favorite decorated car for one dollar. A People’s Choice trophy will be awarded and group photos will be taken of the cars and drivers.

Try to rein in your super-critical attitude, even if things aren’t being done quite as you would prefer. Remember: What you say now could create an awkward situation later on.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)

Although you can expect on-the-job cooperation from most of your colleagues this week, some people might insist on knowing more about your plans before they can accept them.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Creating another way to do things

is commendable. But you could find some resistance this week from folks who would rather stick with the triedand-true than try something new.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You usually can keep

your aim focused on your goal. But you might need to make adjustments to cope with unsteadiness factors that could arise over the course of the week.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) News arrives about a pro-

jected move. Be prepared to deal with a series of possible shifts, including starting and finishing times, and how much the budget will actually cover.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new relationship needs time to

develop. Let things flow naturally. It could be a different story with a workplace situation, which might require faster and more focused attention.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

Accept a compliment without trying to troll for any hidden reason beyond what was said. After all, don’t you deserve to be praised every now and then? Of course you do.

BORN THIS WEEK: You like to weigh all possibilities before making a decision. You would be a fine judge, or even be a star in a jury room.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Diners have a reason to eat, drink and be merry because Ocean City’s Restaurant Week returns Sunday. The two-week affair runs through Sunday, Oct. 26 and will feature special fixed-prices menus of $10, $20, $30 or $40 at nearly 20 restaurants around town. New this year, the fall version of Restaurant Week will also dish up good deals and specials on alreadylow shoulder season prices. “We already have a lot of restaurants that give great offseason deals,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association, which organizes the annual event. “We thought we would just combine the two for fall Restaurant Week.” The two-week special is designed to draw diners through the doors when business slows, but it also gives chefs a chance to create a unique, seasonal menu. “We just try and design the Restaurant Week menu around the seasons — trying to utilize the fall flavors,” said Jim Glenn, executive chef at Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant, inside the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street.

Participating Restaurants:

Horizon’s special dinner menu includes a choice of starters such as pumpkin soup, made with sage and apples, or an autumn salad of candied pecans, bleu cheese, dried cranberries and honey champagne vinaigrette poured over a bed of roasted sweet potatoes. Desserts will be a selection of cakes from Desserts by Rita, including a Pumpkin Lust cake that combines pie, meringue and fall flavors. “Every year we create new things to utilize what’s in season,” Glenn said. “It’s always ‘wipe the slate clean and start over fresh,’ and we’ll always do that to keep our customers interested.” “It’s always fun (designing the Restaurant Week menu),” he added. “We like to be creative and do things out of the ordinary.” Horizons will be dishing up its specials — two courses for $30 or three for $35 — for dinner all week and will offer other daily specials such as “Lobster Lunacy” on Thursday and 20 percent off wine all week. A Restaurant Week participant for the last few years, the October event helps draw vacationers and locals alike through Horizon’s doors, Glenn said, and Restaurant Week newcomer Touch of Italy hopes the event See TWENTY Page 49

His Restaurant Week menu features “some of our favorite things — things that we’d like to point out to people,” West said. “A lot of times people come to an Italian place and they think, ‘I’ve got to order the chicken Parmesan.’” Some of Touch of Italy’s $28.95 Restaurant Week menu includes arugula salad, ‘Insalata di Rucola,’ topped with red onions, marinated artichokes, candied walnuts and balsamic dressing. Main dishes include the restaurant’s special Bolognese, ‘Garganelli alla Bolognese,’ which is an Old World recipe and one of the owner’s favorite dishes, West said. Touch of Italy will also serve its ‘Pollo al Taleggio,’ a chicken cutlet breaded in homemade crumbs, panseared in a white wine Italian herb sauce and topped with melted taleggio cheese and prosciutto di parma, served over a bed of sautéed spinach. “It’s not your average chicken dish,” West said.

Backshore Brewing Co. on 10th Street and the Boardwalk is the subject of a new documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blood, Sweat, and Beerâ&#x20AC;? by Chip Hiden and Alexis Irvin.

Documentary features Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Backshore Brewing Co.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Independent filmmaker and author Chip Hiden aims to document the explosive growth of craft beer in his new production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blood, Sweat, and Beer,â&#x20AC;? which will present the stories of two start-up breweries, one of them local. The film, which awaits additional financing, follows Backshore Brewing Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes-trying journey to its successful location on 10th Street and the Boardwalk. Also in front the

lens is The Brew Gentlemen Beer Company of Braddock, Pa. Hiden and co-director Alexis Irvin go into the backstory of how these small operations came to be and their struggles to succeed. Backshore Brewing Company, for instance, awaits the verdict in a trademark lawsuit that arose when the local pub debuted as Shorebillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Unbeknownst to owner Danny Robinson, another local entity had already trademarked that name, forcing Robinson to adopt the Backshore See FUNDS Page 52

Funds sought for documentary film project Continued from Page 51 moniker for the operation just as it was gaining some attention. The Brew Gentleman Beer Company, meanwhile, follows a trio of 23year-olds: Matt, Asa and Brandon. They hope their craft brewery will help save and bring jobs back to their once prosperous steel town. The town suffers from decades of neglect, population loss and violence. “I think it is great that their film is giving a behind-the-scenes look at the obstacles involved with starting up a brewery. It is intriguing that the

founders of Brew Gentleman Beer Company are very young and it shows how you need to be smart and brave through the tough times. The odds are against you,” Robinson said. The film also explores the cultural and economic impacts of craft beer in the United States through these two breweries. For 15 months, the filmmakers traveled to 14 states and interviewed more than 100 brewery experts. Hiden and Irvin have funded the entirety of this project with their personal savings. They have completed the producing, directing, cinematography, ed-

iting, motion graphics, sound and travel costs on their own. Once the documentary is completed, they plan to release special copies of it on DVD with interviews and bonus footage. “In short, we will be exploring every possible distribution option we can to get this film out there. We have learned as independent filmmakers that you need a plan, a back-up plan and a backup for the back-up plan. We are shooting for the stars with this movie, and we are determined to share ‘Blood, Sweat, and Beer’ with as many craft beer and film lovers as possible,” vows Hiden and Irvin. To help raise the money, they put their project on Kickstarter, with an allor-nothing goal of $12,000 to be raised by Nov. 2. They need the funds to put the final touches on the documentary and to cover distribution costs. “We are hoping people will find out

about the project and spread the word,” Hiden said. Should that not happen, Hiden and Irvin plan to continue funding the venture in hopes they will make the money back at some point. The duo has been self-distributing the film through their web site and have joined with the indie film-hosting platform, VHX. A nationwide tour is in the works for 2015, which would help generate buzz and reviews. They also have been contacting beer festival organizers and independent movie theater owners to set up screenings. Their dream is to be noticed by a distributor who will help introduce the film to larger audiences. As of press time, they have made $4,393 and have 26 days to make $12,000 or they will not receive any money. To donate to this project, go to http://kck.st/1mjlFRV.

OC Classics Tournament, Saturday Annual competition will feature jiu-jitsu and karate divisions for youth, adults

By Taylor Sloan Intern (Oct. 10, 2014) The 13th annual OC Classics Tournament will take place Saturday at the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department’s sports complex at Northside Park, on 125th Street. There will be two tournaments in one day: karate and jiu-jitsu. Each

tournament will be broken down into categories, age and gender divisions. “For example, a beginner karate division would consist of white, yellow and orange belts,” said Tournament Promoter, Kem Waters. All of the judges are certified black belts, and they will be awarding the top athletes in each age division with national trophies. All children 12 years and under will take home an award. Later in the day, all winners from each age division will compete for a grand championship title. “Most children begin karate at the

age of 4 or 5,” Waters said. The age divisions for the tournaments begin at 9 years and younger for the black belt division, and 6 years and younger for all belts under black. The jiu-jitsu divisions will be formed the day of the tournament depending on the age and number of participants. Miles Moffit from Southside JiuJitsu Club in Salisbury will be coordinating the events for the 11th year. The jiu-jitsu competitions will be open to men, women and children, and will consist of GI Divisions, a Take Down Tournament and a new women’s competition. “I like to be able to share jiu-jitsu with people,” Moffit said. “Some people do it for the martial arts, some as a form of self defense, some for fitness, and some just for the camaraderie.” Last year, 150 participants competed in the two tournaments, and this year organizers expect to have the same turn out. Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning and the competitions are scheduled to start at 10 a.m. The on-site registration fee is $65 for competitors, and there is a $15 admission for tournament spectators.

Thinking outside box always secret ingredient for chefs Sweetness, savoriness and spiciness key components of ‘true’ chutney condiment

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Chutney is a relishtype condiment that is increasing in popularity. Its key components are sweetness, savoriness, and spiciness. This trinity is required if the condiment is to be considered “true” chutney. Chutney is the English spelling of the Indian word, “chutni” and now is referred to as chatni. In traditional East Indian cuisine, a chatni is served as a side dish to add pizzazz to less piquant food. It is prepared for each meal and the ingredients consist of fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs. It is cooked until it has the evenness of jam. Some chutneys are reduced to a pulp, while others retain recognizable pieces of their ingredients. There is no standard recipe – options depend on the region, menu and personal preference. Homemade chutney makes a glorious gift for the upcoming holidays, although it requires knowledge of the canning process. The web site for the National Center for Home Food Preservation covers the entire process. “Preserving Food At Home: A Self Study Course” is offered. It is a free, self-paced, online course for those who want to learn about home canning and preservation. This course is offered through the University of Georgia system. Topics covered are introduction to food preservation, general canning, canning acid foods and canning low-acid foods. More specifically, the web site addresses what problems could arise from improper preparation and processing of chutney, what helps preserve the chutney, and such basics as how to cut and prepare the fruit. It also notes that when cooking with vinegar, lemon juice or acid foods, use a stainless steel stockpot. This prevents metal from leaching into the food. It also advises people to use caution when handling green mangoes, since they can irritate the skin of some people in the same way as poison ivy. To avoid this reaction, wear plastic or rubber gloves while working with raw green mango. The beauty of chutney is its versatility. It can be served as a condiment for any pork dish. Toasted baguettes

with the tasty topping are an innovative pairing for wine and cheese gatherings. Thinking out of the box is always the secret ingredient for any chef no matter the level of skill. The all American burger is no exception to the rule; the pairing of smoked apple wood bacon and apple chutney is a scrumptious option for fabulous fall burgers. Whether one wants to prepare chutney for a specific occasion or preserve it for gifts, the results are impressive. Apple, fennel and currant chutney is a basic introduction to an Eastern tradition that needs to be filed away in one’s favorite index of fabulous flavors and possibilities. Apple, Fennel and Currant Chutney Ingredients 2 1/2 teaspoons walnuts, chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons canola oil 3 large cloves garlic, minced 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 1 fennel bulb, very coarsely chopped, (plus 1 tablespoon chopped fennel fronds) 6 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and coarsely chopped 4 teaspoons currants 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper seeds 1 1/2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds 1 cup orange juice 3/4-cup rice vinegar zest of 1 lemon kosher salt to taste 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until browned and toasted, about 10 minutes. Because of the small amount of walnuts, a toaster oven would be the preferred choice. Set aside for further use. 2. In a medium stainless steel pot over medium-low heat, heat butter and canola oil. Add garlic, onions, and sauté until translucent (6 to 7 minutes). 3. Add chopped apples and cook for another 5 minutes. 4. Uncover, add remaining ingredients except for the walnuts and fennel fronds. Sauté until liquid has been reduced and the chutney has the consistency of jam (approximately 35 to 40 minutes). It is imperative to constantly stir to prevent the chutney from burning as it reduces. 5. Remove from heat: add walnuts, fennel fronds, and mix thoroughly. Secret Ingredient - Patience. “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” – Jean Jacques Rousseau

Fall Cruisers car show in downtown Berlin, Saturday More than 200 hot rods, customs, classics expected

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Berlin’s final car show of the year will take place Saturday, when hundreds of classic cars motor into town and take up position in the downtown area. Registration for Berlin Fall Cruisers will begin at 8 a.m., with the main event kicking off at 10 a.m. Organizer Tanya Giles said the fall auto show is different from the spring show in name only for the most part. “They are different only because they both are in conjunction with Special Event Pro events,” she said. “Cruising OC is their spring event and Endless Summer is their fall event. We piggyback from that.” Giles expects more than 200 hot rods, muscle cars, classics and more to flood the streets of downtown Berlin. “We’re also trying to get more trucks in this year,” she said. “People seem to like those.” Cars generally begin parking at around 7 a.m. All cars must be parked by 10 a.m., with the award ceremony beginning at 2 p.m. Registration is $10 and is open until 11 a.m., although Giles said all of the slots are usually filed an hour earlier. “People definitely need to come early,” she said. Six different categories of cars will be judged, including People’s Choice and Best in Show. Winners receive trophies. Giles said the show is known for bringing a crowd to Berlin. “We usually have a couple thousand people come throughout the day,” she said. “It’s a free-flowing day, meaning people can come and go. Most of the restaurants are open for breakfast and lunch, the stores will be open all day, and then, after 2 o’clock, the cars are gone and all the stores should remain open for the rest of the day. It’s a very casual, relaxed, walk around the cars. You don’t have to be a car enthusiast to enjoy it, but if you are, you should definitely come.” Fall Cruisers is also billed as a more intimate option than the larger Ocean City-based shows. “It’s a smaller show, so you can talk to car owners and mingle,” said Giles. “It’s just one other event that is different and unique to Berlin. The town is able to have an event like this that does have that enclosed, comfortable feeling where you can walk around with your kids and your family and see cars and talk to people. Whether you’re new to cars or you’ve been a car buff for years it’s really a nice event.”

‘Haunted Ocean City and Berlin’ book available

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) “Haunted Eastern Shore” author Mindie Burgoyne’s latest book, explores a pair of Worcester County locales. “Haunted Ocean City and Berlin” explores 20 reportedly haunted sites, including the Atlantic Hotel, Adkins Hardware Store, Baked Desserts and the Odd Fellows Mindie Burgoyne Hall in Berlin, and the Life-Saving Station Museum, Trimper’s Carousel and Dolle’s Candyland in Ocean City. Burgoyne, founder of Chesapeake Ghost Walks, which encompasses 10 area towns, said her tours were the impetus for writing the books. “Particularly these will support the effort of the ghost walks,” she said. “That way at the end of the ghost walk we can say, ‘Here’s a book that has a lot of the different stories.’ We’re doing the books to have a comparable product.” “Haunted Ocean City and Berlin” is the first of a planned three-book series on the middle and lower shore. Burgoyne investigated ghostly activity using sources such as the Edward H. Nabb Research Center at Salisbury University, as well as personal experiences. “In some places, I would just walk around and ask people, ‘Has anything strange ever happened here?’” she said. “And if I could find a couple of credible stories, then I dug into land records and wills and histories of the site – really tried to connect the stories with the history.” Burgoyne will celebrate the release of her latest book with an appearance at the Dunes Manor Hotel in Ocean City on Saturday, Oct. 11. “I picked that because the Dunes Manor is one of the sites in the book,” Burgoyne said. The author met with owners of the hotel shortly after a portrait of Dunes founder Thelma Conner went missing in the middle of the night. “We got to talking and they said, ‘Well, you know we talk to her all the time,’” Burgoyne said. “And I said, ‘Wait a minute – this is a ghost story.’ After I got the information about the strange things that happen at the Dunes, I even found one that corroborated their story on Trip Advisor from a guest that had stayed there. Thelma Conner has been seen in that hotel.” Even stranger, the missing painting reappeared while Burgoyne was at the Dunes. “I said, this is just such a wonderful story I’d like to put this in my book,” she said. Guests at the book launch can enter to win a free signed copy of “Haunted Ocean City and Berlin,” as well as a private ghost walk for themselves and 25 friends in any one of the 10 Eastern Shore towns covered by Chesapeake Ghost Walks.

The Dunes Manor will serve complimentary tea and cookies during the book launch from 3-4 p.m. “I want people to feel like the towns, especially Ocean City, is an old friend,” Burgoyne said. “When they come into the historic part of the town, they’ll be able to feel a little bit of the past there and the people that built the towns. “The memories that are relayed through these ghost stories are mostly all happy memories,” Burgoyne continued. “Ocean City and Berlin had such a sense of place, and not every town has that sense. It’s almost like the town itself has a personality.” For more information, visit www.chesapeakeghostwalks.com.

Chesapeake Wildfowl Expo presented by Ward Museum

(Oct. 10, 2014) The Chesapeake Wildfowl Expo on Saturday in Salisbury will pay tribute to old decoys while encouraging the carving of new ones. The expo is an annual presentation of the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University, located next to Schumaker Pond. Arriving before dawn, vendors will convert the museum parking lot into a marketplace for the “Buy, Sell and Trade,” which offers shoppers an eclectic mix of antique decoys, collectible hunting items, folk art and outdoor memorabilia. The members of the public are encouraged to bring their antique decoys for free identification and appraisals. With activities for every age, the Chesapeake Wildfowl Expo provides visitors with shows and competitions. The annual Chesapeake Challenge will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., when working waterfowl decoys will be judged in the water so their qualities and usefulness for hunting can be evaluated. In addition, there are separate competitions for shorebirds, woodpeckers and contemporary antique decoys. Prior to the start of the challenge, a separate youth competition for carvers ages 17 and under will take place, with waterfowl decoys being floated and competing against one another for honors. Competitors from Maine to California will migrate to Salisbury to participate in the challenge. Made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Chesapeake Challenge will once again be enhanced by the Carving Out Future Decoy Makers project. Ten master carvers, representing flyways from across the United States, will each teach six students how to carve a traditional working decoy; bringing the finished decoys to be entered in the challenge. This year, the master carvers’ forum will take place before the start of the decoy competition and offers the public a chance to mingle with the carvers as they discuss their experiences throughout the project’s duration. Students participating in the Carving Out Future Decoy Makers project range from young children to grandparents. Another popular event is the “Old Birds” antique decoy competition. Collectors from across the region enter their antique decoys (carved prior to 1950) for evaluation. This contest differs from the Shootin’ Stool Competition in that the decoy is no longer judged for its usefulness as a hunting tool but is instead judged for its collectability as a decoy with historical value. This year there are 10 categories of carvings, which include specific species or carvings from a specific region or carver. This competition of-

fers the public an opportunity to compare various collectible styles from around the country. A variety of activities and crafts are available, free of charge, and include painting a Red Headed Woodpecker silhouette, soap carving, carving feathers using power tools while receiving instruction from a champion carver and decoy painter. Additional activities include a duck head-carving contest and numerous carving demonstrations. Concessions, including a bake sale, are available to expo attendees during show hours. The exhibit “Lloyd J. Tyler: Folk Artist, Decoy Maker” is in the museum’s LaMay Gallery. Lloyd J. Tyler (1898-1971) carved his first decoy at the age of 12 using a spokeshave, pocketknife, and hatchet. Even as an adult with a formal art education and other tools at his disposal, Tyler continued, using just a hatchet, a rasp and a spokeshave to produce good-looking, functional decoys by the hundreds, made in a matter of minutes. Despite his simple approach, the decoys, decorative carvings, and paintings he produced are sometimes realistic, often stylized, and occasionSee ACTIVITIES Page 68

Worcester County Historical Society to host fall dinner Joseph E. Moore, attorney and author, will serve as guest speaker during event (Oct. 10, 214) More than 150 years ago the United States was embroiled in a great war that threatened to split the country. Although not in the line of fire, the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland had a part in the Civil War and it, like the country itself, was divided. How that affected Worcester County will be explored at the Worcester County Historical Society fall dinner on Sunday, Nov. 2, when attorney and author Joseph E. Moore of Berlin will relate the state of the county and its politics during that time. To be sure, Worcester County residents did not sit out this national upheaval. One local military unit was Smith’s Independent Company of

Cavalry from Snow Hill. AfricanAmericans from Worcester County were represented in the U.S. Colored Troops, while white residents joined units on both sides of the conflict. As a part of the dinner meeting, more than $9,000 in grants will awarded to museums in Worcester County. The dinner meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn, 17th Street in Ocean City. A social hour will begin at 1 p.m. followed by a buffet dinner at 1:30 p.m. The menu will include rumroasted chicken, coconut shrimp, salad, mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, rolls, cheesecake, tea and coffee. Tickets for the dinner, which will be open to the public, will be $25 each. The deadline for reservations is Monday, Oct. 27. Checks should be mailed to Robert Fisher, WCHS treasurer, 230 South Washington Street, Snow Hill, Md. 21863.

Watercolor artist to lead workshop at 94th St. center Four-day class will focus on landscapes and helping to develop budding artists (Oct. 10, 2014) The Art League of Ocean City has invited nationally known watercolor artist and workshop instructor, Don Andrews, to teach a four-day workshop, Oct. 2730, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This workshop will focus on landscapes and help develop budding watercolorists as well as add skills and new perspectives to the work and imagination of seasoned painters. The

workshop will be packed with demonstrations, discussions, individual help and personal and group critiques. Andrews is a graduate of the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Fla., and a resident of Fairhope, Ala. He is an active member and past board director of the American Watercolor Society. His paintings have received numerous awards in national watercolor competitions, including three awards from the American Watercolor Society, and two Best of Show awards from the New England Watercolor Society. Andrews has conducted painting workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Africa for more than 25 years. He authored the book “Interpreting the Figure in Watercolor” and “Interpreting the Landscape in Watercolor,” both five-star-ranked books on Amazon. He has published five DVDs and shared several technique demonstrations on YouTube. He is featured in the Watson-Guptill publication, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Watercolor” and North Light’s book, “Confident Color” and has had numerous feature articles published in American Artist magazine.

Decatur golfers performing well, especially Kristick

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) The Stephen Decatur golf team is stacked with talented players this year as the Seahawks continue to dominate their competition. Sophomore Matt Kristick has come on strong at the end of the season, helping lead the team to victory by posting stellar scores. Last Thursday at The Bay Club in Berlin, Kristick shot a 3 under par 33 to earn medalist honors. “I was really happy with how I played that day. It seemed as if everything was clicking,” Kristick said. “The two matches before then I had played well and was coming off both of them with a little bit of momentum. It was also really nice to play well in front of one of my coaches, Coach Don Furbay, who was scoring my group that day.” Decatur took top honors during the seven-school “Pink Out” match to support breast cancer awareness, with a team score of 157. Golfers wore pink shirts during the competition. Decatur seniors Danny Parker carded a 40 and Delaney Iacona and Brooks Holloway both tallied 42s.

Decatur sophomore Matt Kristick shot a 3 under par 33 last Thursday to earn medalist honors. "I was really happy with how I played that day. It seemed as if everything was clicking," he said.

Freshman Matt Kinsey also shot a 42. “Coach Furbay and I are very pleased with the Decatur scores from The Bay Club match, even though one in particular, Matt Kristick’s, was exceptional and overshadowed the entire field. Thursday was all about Kristick’s amazing 3 under par 33,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “Suffice to say, it was the lowest score I’ve wit-

nessed in 16 years of coaching. We feel pretty good right now…” James M. Bennett finished in second place with a 172. Parkside was third with a 174. On Tuesday at Deer Run Golf Club in Berlin, Kristick earned co-medalist honors with Bennett’s Ayden Whitehead. Both players shot 36s. See KRALL Page 86

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Two championship Berlin Little League teams are getting a hero’s welcome on Friday, Oct. 10. Berlin will honor the Intermediate All Stars, the United States runner-up in this year’s Little League World Series in Livermore, Calif., and the 9-10 All Star, who won a state championship and played in the regional tournament in Cranston, R.I. Cameron McDonough managed the intermediate team and his son, Tristan, excelled, batting .444 in five Little League World Series games and leading the squad in both home runs and RBIs. On the mound, McDonough pitched to a 3.75 ERA, fanning 18 batters in 9 1/3 innings while walking just three. Tristan said his dad has been his coach “ever since he can remember,” starting with a tee ball team before he was even 4-years old, but his greatgrandmother “mom-mom” Grace Hickman was the real catalyst for his love affair with baseball. “We owe a lot to his great-grandmother, who just recently passed away while we were up in Long Island for the regional tournament this year,” Cameron said. “She was his first batting coach.” His primary daycare provider, Hickman played ball in the backyard with Tristan when he was just a year old. “He was just a little baby,” Cameron said. “She would go out there with him and he would just want to stay out there for hours and hours, her just putting balls on tees and him just hitting them. “I think he was about a year and a half old when [we] started to be able to play catch,” Cameron continued. “He really did start showing signs of being very apt at it, so we, of course, tried to nurture that and get him going with it, but I definitely have to thank his great-grandmother for working with him when he was really, really young.” Tristan said his great-grandmother was constantly with him during the team’s run through the regional tournament and the World Series. “She was on my mind every at bat,” he said. “Every home run I hit, it felt like she pushed something over. There was one, especially, that I didn’t get as well, but somehow it just went over.” In 2013, the all-star team lost a See TWELVE Page 86

Stephen Decatur senior Kayla Heinz sets the ball during Tuesday's match against James M. Bennett in Berlin.

Continued from Page 85 heartbreaking game on national television, ending their run in the regional tournament. Tristan said chemistry and a few new additions made the difference this year. “We all thought we were ready the year before. We just couldn’t pull it out,” he said. “This year we had a new addition Kevon (Wharton) and Colby (Figgs) and Hayden (Cosman) and Steven (Bise). They were a big help – they played big roles and they really helped us out and came up big in every situation.” The Intermediate All Stars were undefeated in state and regional play and went 3-2 in the World Series. For a team of 13- and 14-year-olds, the all stars seemed remarkably undaunted. A relief pitcher would come in and give up a grand slam, then immediately settle in and strike out the side. Key hits at clutch moments seemed almost inevitable. “Team chemistry was amazing,” Tristan said. “Most of these guys have been playing together since we were in ‘pitching machine’ (a beginner’s league) pretty much. Of course, we care if we go four-for-four, but we’re more concerned with the team’s outcome.” “It’s one of those things where these boys are young men now and they’ve gotten to the point where they remember all the lessons they’ve been taught along the way,” Cameron said. “This year was a beautiful thing. My assistant coaches and I just kind of got out of their way. I think that was the biggest difference from last year to this year. We tried to … let them play ball and enjoy themselves. Cameron said the team never focused on individual achievements. “They care about winning,” he said. “They know how to win because

they’ve been in those situations so many times. The disappointment from the year prior definitely pushed these guys to work even harder to get better and to make sure they were able to focus through those tough moments.” After losing the U.S. Championship game by a single run, the team didn’t sulk but joined a pickup game of whiffle ball with players from several different countries. “The Curacao team was having a whiffle ball game and there was a couple Korean kids out there, so we just went out there and had some fun,” Tristan said. “It was our last night, so we were going to enjoy it. It was cool, because some of the kids were trying to teach us some words in other languages and how to communicate with them.” Both McDonoughs expressed gratitude for the recognition they received from their hometown. “They’re the reason we’re doing this – we didn’t do this just for ourselves,” Tristan said. “I think the word that we both search every time our town does something for us like this – it’s very, very humbling for us,” Cameron said. “It’s wonderful to know how much support we have in our local community and how great they’ve been to us and to all these boys. We can’t say enough how much the town of Berlin, the Worcester County Commissioners and all of our local businesses have been so awesome to us over the years, and I know their continued support of Berlin Little League will be much appreciated in the future.” The parade begins at 6 p.m. at the Berlin Firehouse and runs to the Atlantic Hotel. All 12 Berlin all-star teams, which include more than 150 players, will be present.

Continued from Page 85 “My performance this season has been very up and down. The first half of the season I wasn’t playing up to my potential, but the last four matches I’ve really started to play well, winning medalist in three out of the last four matches,” Kristick said. Parker also contributed to Decatur’s win, carding a 39. Kinsey logged a 40 and Iacona scored a 41. Holloway tallied a 41, as well. The Seahawks landed in the No. 1 spot with a 156. Bennett finished second out of eight schools (172) and Parkside placed third (175). “We are clicking on all cylinders at the moment,” said Krall, as the Seahawks improved to 9-0. “Even though no one shot under par at Deer Run, each member of the team had the op-

portunity. A couple errant shots kept them all from going real low Tuesday.” Added Kristick, “We’ve really started to play much better overall since Danny came back from his wrist injury. Ever since he came back, I feel as if it’s lifted a weight off the shoulders off the other players, allowing for us to play more freely on the course.” “I feel as if we are playing some solid golf and look forward to carrying this momentum all the way through the playoffs,” he said. Decatur will compete in the District VIII championship on Tuesday with the 17 other Bayside Conference teams (nine north and nine south schools) at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge. The Seahawks are going for their third consecutive district title.

Seahawks play one of best games against JMB Clippers Krall: We are clicking on all cylinders at the moment

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team might have lost Tuesday’s match against the James M. Bennett Clippers, but the Lady Seahawks displayed a solid performance. “Overall, I am very pleased with how they played,” Decatur Coach Sarah Purnell said after the competition in Berlin. “This was one of the best games they’ve played all year.” The visiting Clippers edged out the Seahawks 26-24 in the first game. “I thought the first game our girls came out strong and pumped up. They all seemed to be on the same page and having lots of fun,” Purnell said. “At the end, we just couldn’t finish a couple plays, but again, they played well all the way through that first game.” Bennett outscored Decatur 25-18 in game two. The squad took the

third game 25-16. “The first two games were a lot of fun to watch. I think we got into Bennett’s head early, and they were making a lot of mistakes,” Purnell said. “My girls played tough, communicated well and made smart plays the first two games. I think by game three my girls were a little tired and we weren’t quite as crisp and clean as we could have been with our passes.” Decatur senior captain Hannah Adkins and Marina Jones, a senior, each had three kills. Juniors Marley Parsons and Lauren Laque tallied seven and four digs, respectively. Senior setter Haley Trice logged three aces and seven assists. Decatur will host the North Dorchester Eagles on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The Seahawks won the Sept. 23 match-up with North Dorchester 25-15, 25-15 and 25-10.

Harrington and Reimer earn medalist honors Decatur girls’ squad places fifth out of 22 schools, while boys’ team takes 7th

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) More than 500 runners representing 22 schools from Maryland and Delaware participated in the annual Tidewater Fall Classic last Wednesday at Winter Place Park in Salisbury. “I thought our teams did pretty well. We were the second Bayside (Confer-

ence) school in both races,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. The Decatur girls’ team finished in fifth place overall. Senior Jenna Reimer led the Lady Seahawks, crossing the finish line seventh overall (20:56.12) out of nearly 200 female runners. Jody Stigler Also scoring points for Decatur was junior Rachel Savage (24th, 22:21.72), sophomore Peyton Dunham (46th,

23:31.05), junior Katie Hofman (49th, 23:41.36) and senior Meya Chilengi (51st, 23:44.18). The Decatur boys’ team took seventh place. About 250 boys competed in the race. The top five Seahawks to cross the finish line were seniors Parker Harrington (15th, 17:44.18) and Jake Gaddis (28th, 18:15.5), freshman Jack Reimer (70th, 19:30.04) and sophomores Jared Massey (76th, 19:45.56) and Cameron James (80th, 19:55.47). “I thought that we were going to do a little bit better than we did, but I was still pretty happy with that result. We

still need to get significantly better on both the boys and the girls side if we hope to be in the top few teams at the Bayside championship,” Stigler said. “Both Parker Harrington and Jenna Reimer earned medalist honors for top 15 performances. This is the biggest race that our team will compete in all year in terms of number of athletes. It will help us get ready for the upcoming championship races.” The final cross country meet of the regular season is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 4 p.m. in Cambridge.

Worcester Prep sophomore Leigh Lingo fights for the ball during last Friday's game against Indian River in Berlin. Worcester edged out its opponent 1-0.

Lady Mallards edge out Indians in physical battle

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) The Worcester Prep field hockey team controlled the Indian River Indians, camping out in the offensive end a majority of the game last Friday, but the Lady Mallards had difficulty scoring. “We started just a little bit slow, but then we picked it right up. We dominated the entire game,” Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom said after her team’s 1-0 victory. “Our offense really did a great job keeping it inside the circle, but we just had a hard time putting it in the cage. They really had a strong defense and a really good goalie. We just kept pounding it and we couldn’t get it in.” Senior captain Caroline Lindsay,

who has come through for the Mallards several times this season, scored off a sophomore Eva Parks’ pass, within the first 10 minutes of the competition in Berlin. “We were very prepared for them. I expected more of a back-and-forth game, but we seemed to pretty much dominate the whole game. We just got unlucky getting it in the cage,” Frostrom said. While Worcester did score a goal in the first half, the squad also suffered a loss. Senior captain Jordie Loomis hit her head during a collision with an Indian River player. She was sidelined for the remainder of the game because of concussion-like symptoms. “It was an extremely physical See DECATUR Page 90

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) The Stephen Decatur football team hoped to get its first win last Friday, but the Seahawks came up short by one point to the Easton Warriors in overtime, 34-33. “We had our opportunities, we’ve just got to learn how to win. When you have an opportunity to snatch a win, you can’t wait for it to come to you, you’ve got to grab it and pull it toward you,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. Easton, celebrating homecoming, scored first. Decatur answered quickly as senior quarterback Justin Meekins hit Matt LeCompte, a senior, from 36 yards out. Senior Austin Dundore’s PAT was good. The Warriors scored twice more in the first quarter to go ahead 21-7. R.J. Hayman, a senior, cut the home team’s lead to eight, but Dundore missed the extra point. Easton went up 27-13, but Meekins found Hayman then LeCompte to even the score, 27-27, just before halftime. Defense was the star of the second half. “Defense stepped up for both teams,” Knox said. “We made some adjustments that were more successful than what we did in the first half.” Decatur scored with about two minutes left in the game, but it was called back due to an illegal formation penalty. The Seahawks didn’t have enough players on the line of scrimmage–six instead of seven–Knox said. On the next play, Easton intercepted a Meekins throw. Tied 27-27, the game headed into overtime. Decatur had possession first. Junior Dryden Brous’ 1-yard touchdown put the Seahawks on top 33-27. Dundore was unsuccessful on the PAT. Easton evened the score and made the extra point for the 34-33 victory. Meekins was 12-for-21 passing for 253 yards. He threw four touchdown passes. “The best thing for us was to throw. In hindsight, we didn’t throw enough,” Knox said. Hayman had seven catches for 117 yards. He also picked off two Easton passes. LeCompte caught four passes for 114 yards. Despite the loss, Knox said he told the Seahawks that it was the first time he thought “they were better than the week before.” “We saw some significant improvement from the week before, but there’s still things we’ve got to take care of,” Knox said. Decatur (0-5) will take a trip to Ridgely to play the North Caroline Bulldogs (4-1) tonight at 7 p.m. “It’s the first week we don’t have to play against an undefeated team,” Knox said. “We’ll have our work cut out for us…We told the kids we took one step forward last week now we have to take two more this week.”

Decatur and Wor. Mallards score 3 Prep field hockey in second half to teams to face-off shut out Jaguars Continued from Page 88 game. I don’t think I’ve had a game this season as physical as this one,” Frostrom said. “I think my girls, for the most part, are clean players. They try to be skillful in what they do. When they play people who kind of barrel through and get the pushing and the elbows and Jenny Frostrom stuff like that, it rattles them.” Lindsay’s goal early in the game was enough to secure the victory as the Mallards held the Indians scoreless. Prep goalie Stormy McGuiness, a sophomore, stopped three Indian River shots. “(Sophomore) Regan Lingo had an amazing game and Caroline Lindsay had a great game inside,” Frostrom said. “They tried time and time again (to score). They pushed and worked really hard.” Worcester, a private school of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, will compete against the Stephen Decatur Seahawks, a public school of the Bayside Conference, today, at 4 p.m. The Mallards will host the match.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) After a scoreless first half Tuesday, the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team made some adjustments and they paid off. The Lady Mallards scored three goals in the second half of their “Pink Game” for breast cancer awareness and support, to win 3-0 over the Salisbury Christian Jaguars in Berlin. The Jaguars’ defense held close to the midfield line, catching the Mallards offsides several times during the first half. “As soon as one of my girls would take off, we were offsides,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. Worcester’s coaches talked about how to beat the offsides trap during the halftime break and the Mallards has more success in the second half. “They read the offsides [trap], served the ball through and we used our speed,” she said. A little over 10 minutes into the second half, defender Tori Barros, a junior, netted a direct kick from nearly 45 yards out. “We just worked on kicks the day before in practice. It’s neat to see something you did in practice the day before work,” Hartnett said. “We just

needed a goal to break the tension and then we’d loosen up.” Hartnett said the Mallards were more relaxed and they settled in after gaining a 1-0 lead as the momentum shifted in their favor. About 10 minutes after Barros’

goal, freshman Kaylee Dickson scored off a sophomore Karlie Southcomb cross. Freshman Cameron Langeler and senior Molly Soulé combined for Worcester’s third goal. See MALLARDS Page 91

Petito leads with 3 goals Continued from Page 90 Langeler fired a throw-in into the penalty box area and Soulé finished it. Prep goalie Grace Tunis, a junior, made seven saves. “We didn’t play our sort of soccer. The things we usually do well we didn’t do well and what we’re usually not so great at we did well,” Hartnett said. “Everyone on the team con-

tributed, and now we’re marching toward the playoffs. The veterans are doing a great job mentoring the younger girls.” Worcester will play the Salisbury School Dragons on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Salisbury. The Mallards won 2-1 when the teams met Sept. 10. Playoffs being Wednesday, Oct. 22, with the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference semifinals.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 10, 2014) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team shut out the Wi-Hi Indians 6-0 on Tuesday, but it was far from the Lady Seahawks’ best performance. “This was a rough game for them. They all had some bad games, so hopefully they can get that out of their system because this definitely wasn’t

up to par,” Decatur Coach Maggie Berke said after the match at Seahawk Stadium. “I think definitely part of it was playing down to [Wi-Hi’s] level and another part of it was all the junk food they just consumed at the bake sale prior to the game…” Annually, the team has a “Pink Game” and hosts a bake sale to benefit breast cancer research, programs See DECATUR’S Page 92

ROUGH CHALLENGE Stephen Decatur freshman Caleb Bourne battles for the ball during Monday's game against Parkside in Berlin. Decatur lost 3-0. "We have some things to work on; little things. Hopefully we can peak before playoffs," said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood.

The team’s leaders also donned pink captain bands. Senior captain Jillian Petito scored Decatur’s first goal about 14 minutes into the game. Payton VanKirk, a senior captain, rebounded her own shot and was successful on the second at-

tempt to give the Seahawks a two-goal cushion at the halftime break. Three minutes into the second half, Petito lofted a corner kick in front of the Wi-Hi goal and Lexie VanKirk, a sophomore, headed the ball past the Indians’ keeper.

team’s sixth goal with five minutes remaining in the match. Junior Lexi Gausepohl played in goal the first half for Decatur. Sophomore Rachel Florek took over for the second half. Neither was challenged. “They know going into a team like this it’s going to be an easy one, two and done game. I still expect them to play their best and at their level every game no matter their opponent,”

Berke said. “There’s not much more I can teach them at this point. They need to want it…I know they’ll pick it up and they’ll get it together.” The Seahawks will face much stronger competition on Tuesday, when the Parkside Rams come to Berlin for a 4 p.m. match-up. When the teams went head-to-head on Oct. 2, the game in Salisbury ended in a 11 tie.

Four generations, 50 years of Wilkins family at Cork Bar

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) One of Ocean City’s downtown institutions celebrated its golden anniversary this year. Wicomico Street’s Cork Bar has been part of the Wilkins family for the past 50 years and, like its walls packed with photos and other mementos, the site holds memories for the four generations who have called it home. “You never have weekends off, never have holidays,” said Billy Wilkins, who took over behind the bar in 1989. “It’s not for everybody, but we enjoy it.” When asked what has changed in five decades his father Gordon Wilkins replied, “Not much.” “That’s why we’ve got a good customers base. Each time they come in they come back,” he said. Gordon’s father Maurice Wilkins and his partner John Matzcho bought the Cork Bar in 1963, when Ocean City only extended north from the inlet to about 30th Street, he said. When they raised the building’s three garage doors the next year the bar opened for business. In fact, it was not until 1992, when glass doors replaced the garage-style entrance, that the Cork Bar became a year-round business. When Maurice became sick Gor-

don’s wife Martha Wilkins left work at Ocean City Elementary School to work the bar full time. That was more than 30 years ago and, in 1998, her husband retired from Delmarva Power and joined her at the Cork Bar. With a major overhaul on the aging building in 2007 came the addition of a kitchen, keeping customers in who used to pop out for snack – though they’re still welcome to bring back of bucket of Thrasher’s fries or Fisher’s popcorn, Martha said. That same year the Wilkins family bought out their partner and the bar truly became a family operation. Gordon has seen many things change through the Cork Bar window

over the years. “People used to come in and give their kids two bucks to go down to the Boardwalk. Now it’s 20,” he said. Other things – like the Cork Bar’s frosted mugs and infamous “Woo Woo” shooters – haven’t changed. The bar still stands testament to many of Maryland’s fallen firefighters, with helmets brought in by family members hanging on the walls and badges from nearly 30 fire companies serving as décor. Gordon and Maurice both served as volunteer firefighters, Billy explained. Another Cork Bar tradition is taping dollar bills to the ceiling, which is more See CORK Page 96

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) In a recent study conducted by the John Burns Real Estate Consulting Company, LLC, it was reported that student loan debt will cost the real estate industry big in 2014. They estimate $83 billion this year alone in lost revenue. The company released a study that assesses the impact of student loans on home buying for households under the age of 40. Their conclusion is that 8 percent of transactions will be lost in 2014 due to student debt—or 414,000 fewer homes will transact than normal in 2014. The company came up with the figure of $83 billion lost using a typical price of $200,000 per home. The percentage of households under 40 with student debt paying $250 or more per month is up from 22 percent in 2005 to 35 percent currently. While the company explained that the report’s analysis was “quite complicated and involved a few assumptions,” it reported the following items of math at a high level: • Student debt has ballooned from $241 billion to $1.1 trillion in just 11 years. • 29 million of the 86 million people aged 20–39 have some student debt. • Those 29 million individuals translate to 16.8 million households. • Of the 16.8 million households, 5.9 million (or 35 percent) pay more than $250 per month in student loans, which inhibits at least $44,000 per year in mortgage capability for each of them. • About 8 percent of the 20– 39 age cohort usually buys a home each year, which would be 1.35 million transactions per year.

Cork Bar patrons have become ‘like family,’ DiBuo says Continued from Page 95 than a mere bar trick. “When the dollars start to fall they go to a local charity,” said Billy’s sister and bar bookkeeper Wendy DiBuo, who started the Autistic Children’s Support Group of Worcester County after raising her own child with autism. The falling dollars often add up to more than $4,000 in a year, Gordon said. Patrons have become “like family” at the Cork Bar, where longtime workers have learned when to expect certain crowds, Wendy said. “Different people come at certain times, and we look forward to them,” she said. “Even the tourists that come in here are pretty much locals to this bar,” Gordon said. When Martha had a kidney transplant earlier this year, her customer’s response proved that sentiment. “We had customers send cards,” said Wendy, who was her mother’s donor. The Cork Bar has hosted many receptions and even one wedding for its loyal customers over the years, she said. Now that Gordon and Martha have grandchildren, a fourth generation of Wilkins is making its way into the fam-

ily business. Some of the funniest moments have been when those grandchildren asked for overtime or a raise, Martha said. While little else has changed, Gordon finally conceded to accepting credit cards this year after the Cork Bar survived 49 years as a cash-only business with an ATM machine inside. “I never wanted to work here,” said Billy, sitting around the bar with his family Tuesday morning. After one season working at the Cork Bar, he never left. “I couldn’t believe they were paying me to work. It was so much fun,” he said. More than 20 years later, Billy is still behind the bar, Gordon and Martha still work the day shift, and Cork Bar still serves beer in frosted mugs 365 days a year.

Commentary

Ocean City Today Oct. 10, 2014

Page 100 An idiot reports my intentions

OUR OPINION

Candidates must learn real issues

Ocean City has a superior slate of City Council candidates going into next month’s election. They have solid resumes, good intelligence and, to borrow a term from Orioles Manager Buck Showalter, a great deal of “want to.” Doing the job will require all of that and more, as the issues being raised by residents at this point are minor as compared to what’s coming up later this year. Sometime after the election, for instance, the mayor and council will receive the results of a pay study, which will declare whether the city pay scales are too low, too high or just right. Rare would be the study that declares employees’ earnings are appropriate, much less that they are being paid too much. Also later this fall, the Fraternal Order of Police and the city will begin negotiating the union’s next twoyear contract, with those salaries and benefits becoming effective in June. Because payroll is city government’s largest single expense, the results of these two discussions will have a lasting affect on government spending and taxes. This is where it could get sticky. If property values rise in Ocean City when the 2015 reassessment takes place, and spending climbs as well, what happens to everyone’s tax bill? If those bills do go up, will city officials roll out the standard defense – what do residents want to see cut? – while suggesting just few high-profile targets rather than taking a broader look? These are the real issues the new council will face, and talented as this fall’s hopefuls are, they should be prepared to address these points as the race gathers steam. This is, after all, a good bunch, so now it becomes a matter of determining who’s best.

THE PUBLIC EYE

By Stewart Dobson

Hall’s arrival broadens council race POLICAL ANALYSIS

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Oct. 10, 2014) Joe Hall’s re-entrance to the political scene is probably the best thing that could happen for everyone in this year’s City Council race – except Hall himself. For those readers who may have joined us less than two years ago, allow me to explain. Hall was the point man for the 2010-2012 council majority and took most of the beating the group received from the older Ocean City political establishment, which it railed against. Hall is admittedly an easy target. While passionate and policy-oriented, he is often clumsy with his words. The challenge this week to Hall’s eligibility – presumably on the grounds that he lived in North Carolina for a significant part of the past two years – isn’t entirely without merit. Many voters may take this as evidence that Hall abandoned his interest in the town after losing the 2012 election, and only returned as a matter of opportunity. But that is a philosophical argument against him that the voters themselves should judge. The legal argument against his candidacy, as presented by Jay Phillips, appears to be pretty thin. It was rather surprising that council even went so far as to delay approving Hall’s ballot position and instead scheduled a hearing on his candidacy qualifications. Only Councilwoman Margaret Pillas really seemed to understand the issue. By allowing Phillips – or anyone else, for that matter – to have Hall’s affirmation of candidacy delayed by lodging non-specific objections, the council is creating a presumption of guilt without reasonable suspicion. “I’d rather accept them now, and then take the opportunity later, if they don’t meet the requirements, to restrict them from running,” Pillas said. “You’re giving the impression that people are not legitimate.”

Phillips was never asked by the council why exactly it was that he believed Hall did not meet the residency requirements, although one could assume that his time in North Carolina is the issue. Phillips also later refused to provide details to this newspaper. Thus, what council did is akin to a Grand Jury indicting a person, and scheduling his or her trial, without ever bothering to ask to police why the person was arrested. By the same logic, I could’ve raised my hand Monday night and declared my sincere belief that Mayor Rick Meehan does not meet the residency requirements because he is a space alien. I would not have been required, theoretically, to state why I had reasonable suspicion that the mayor is an extraterrestrial. Instead, Meehan’s candidacy approval would’ve been delayed until I was next available for a hearing on his galactic origins. This is an extreme example, but the point remains. Further Meehan’s statement that the council “should honor the process” by holding a hearing for Hall makes no sense. Nowhere in the city’s charter is there a process for holding a hearing on candidacy requirements. The “process” was made up on the spot by City Solicitor Guy Ayres, for lack of a better option, given the council’s prevailing opinion. Ayres later noted that “just [Hall] being in North Carolina doesn’t cut it … the key here is not motive. If you establish domicile, then you’ve done it.” Phillips, of course, is not just anyone, but rather the attorney for the lobbying group Citizens for Ocean City. In 2012, the group placed a number of high-profile advertisements endorsing Meehan and his chosen council candidates – Mary Knight, Doug Cymek, Dennis Dare, and Joe See PLENTY Page 101

I have been wondering for some time whether we ever had or have now a village idiot. Today, however, I am obligated to report that we do. This would be the person who has been saying, falsely, that I plan to challenge the legal residency of two City Council candidates, Matt James and Christopher Rudolph. As an aside, I should make clear that I have nothing against village idiots in general, as I have been one myself on occasion, and because there is something refreshing about complete idiocy, as opposed to intermittent idiocy. The problem with the latter is that you never know precisely with whom you are dealing, since the intermittent types do not have signs on their heads such as would be found on porta-potties that say, “Occupied” or “Unoccupied.” But I digress. How this rumor of my challenging anyone’s candidacy got started is a mystery. Either no one knows the identity of the idiot who authored it or there is a reluctance to reveal that information to me for fear that I would write something bad about him or her, which would be an extremely safe bet. As it happens, I’ve been minding my own business, literally, and haven’t had time to ponder who I like in the upcoming municipal race. That is something I would prefer to do on my own rather than have someone else announce my preferences before I know what they are. And that is the problem with our local politics. Too many people pretend to know what they’re doing by declaring that they know what everyone else is doing, when they do not. That being the case, I would advise any candidate who gets bad information from any supporters to consider this possibility: if they are wrong about one thing – and they certainly are in this instance – they are likely to be wrong about many, many things.

Plenty of space outside MeehanHall rivalry axis Continued from Page 100 Mitrecic – and discouraging voters against Joe Hall and former Council President Jim Hall (no relation). Although the group maintained that they were a tax-exempt 501c(3) nonprofit, such organizations are not allowed under IRS code to engage in electioneering. No organization named Citizens for Ocean City, or similar, exists in federal tax status registries. The group will undoubtedly back a slate of candidates again this year. Although this newspaper is not a betting organization, we’d be pretty comfortable putting money on a Citizens for Ocean City campaign featuring Meehan, Lloyd Martin, Tony DeLuca, Chris Rudolf, and Matt James. Let’s get back to the point. What all this means is that the pro-Meehan political engine is willing to pull out all the stops – even if they are dubious – to fight against Hall, given the longstanding antipathy between him and the mayor. What it also means is that the eye of the politics for the next month will be concentrated on Hall, allowing other candidates to campaign on their own merits outside of Ocean City’s typically insular political bubble. Given that the race contains a number of qualified and promising non-incumbents, it’s now anyone’s to win.

Letters Wine Fest sees record numbers

Editor, A record number of wine enthusiasts enjoyed the transition from summer into fall at the Ocean City inlet this year. After 19 years, Wine on the Beach has achieved vintage status. Like a robust cabernet, it gets better with age. Our success wouldn’t be possible without the support and cooperation of the Town of Ocean City and its hospitable community. They embraced our concept of stretching the season with a celebration of Delmarva cuisine and the best of regional wines. They have been wonderful partners in helping the festival, and the participating wineries, grow. Through the years these small businesses have benefited from the exposure they receive and the people they meet at the shore. The Wine Fest family includes those hundreds of volunteers who have given their time and energy to make the event possible. They touch every aspect of our operations, from taking tickets to pouring wine and hefting beer kegs. The festival simply couldn’t function without them. We like to think Wine on the Beach

Voter fraud should be major concern

Editor, With election time drawing near and voter fraud always a major concern, I would like to make a suggestion. Don’t you think it would be a good idea for our president to write an executive order and send it to governors of each state and the mayors of each local township requiring that each person, when appearing to vote, show a photo ID and a valid registration card before signing in to vote? This requirement would be easy to implement by having polling captains on election day require this procedure before anyone can vote. Having a valid registration card is proof of the individual’s citizenship, an important requirement in the voting procedure. Regarding absentee ballots, those for military personnel would only be accepted when signed by their com-

manding officer. For personnel working in the government Foreign Service their application can only be accepted when signed by their department head. As for anyone working for a company out of their district, an application by them must be signed by the CEO of the company. No other absentee application should be permitted. At the end of the voting day all voter registration books should be checked and any name that does not have a signature should be removed from the records. This would help clean out the names of those who have passed away or have moved out of a district. Anyone who still lives in the district but didn’t vote can easily re-register again at his or her local government office. As for any person working for the government in any capacity not willing to authorize the implementation of this requirement, his or her patriotism should be questioned. These are critical times for our country and a corrective action such as this should be required. In order to keep our present republic form of government, an honest voting system must be maintained.
