Resort to appeal to Hogan for help with vehicle events Police Commission agrees more law enforcement key to exercising greater control

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Acknowledging that Ocean City’s increased efforts to eliminate dangerous driving during motor vehicle events still fall short of comprehensive control, the resort police commission on Wednesday agreed to ask Gov. Larry Hogan for more law enforcement assistance for next year.

Although more rigorous enforcement produced markedly improved results during the unsanctioned modified car rally last month, Mayor Rick Meehan told the commission sterner steps need to be taken to keep such gatherings in check.

“Ocean City is the second largest city in the state during that time period,” Meehan said of the late spring and early fall when car and motorcycle rallies take place. “Someday, this could erupt into something more than it is.”

Commission members agreed, See CITY Page 60

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The candidate pool is set for the Ocean City municipal election next month, with two contenders challenging Mayor Rick Meehan and five others competing for three open City Council seats as of Tuesday, the last day candidates could file for office.

Meehan, first elected to that office in 2006 after serving on council since 1985, is being opposed for another two-year term by former City Councilman Joe Hall and resident Joe Cryer.

Hall, who previously operated Hall’s Restaurant on 59th Street and served on council for three two-year terms, was defeated by 74 votes during the 2006 election.

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) A complete closure of Route 589 in Ocean Pines began on Monday and is scheduled to last “up to eight weeks,” according to the State Highway Administration.

Backed up traffic is apparently causing some havoc for motorists.

The closure was said to be along Route 589 at Turnville Creek, just south of Gum Point Road, but the affected area is much larger.

Restaurant gets conditional green light from WCTRC

OCTOBER 12, 2018

VC Jay Knerr: Not the time to do it

Worcester County Planning commission maintains 589 Developer must account for status at meeting last week EDU requirements for sewer By Rachel Ravina

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) A proposed 4,938 square-foot restaurant site plan requesting a building permit was conditionally approved by the Worcester County Technical Review Committee Wednesday provided the developer obtains the necessary number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) in sewage capacity.

The developers of Island Oasis Resort went to Snow Hill to seek a permit for a restaurant site located on the northwest intersection of Stephen Decatur Highway and Lewis Road.

The committee required the developers to come up with the required number of EDUs before they could receive approval. Island Oasis agreed to check on the number of assigned EDUs before continuing with the project and to develop a public sewer line for the location.

Island Oasis also requested a commercial access permit before development can begin. The Technical Review Committee gave approval provided the EDUs are accounted for.

The site plan will be presented to the Planning Commission in November to determine the next move.

Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) After going backand-forth on two motions, the Worcester County Planning and Zoning Commission decided not to change Route 589 at its meeting last Thursday.

Committee members discussed the possibility of McCallister Road being used as a service road in reference to

the initiative, which members agreed was “easily accessible.”

Member Rick Wells also highlighted the County Commissioner’s 43 vote in a past meeting, and said “a C-1 is more in line with the plan.”

The road served as a platform for members to speak on various side streets and issues surrounding the road, where other portions are currently under construction under the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Consolidated Transportation Plan.

Route 589 was originally up for a motion, and while the proposal was

previously discussed by County Commissioners, but some had reservations. “[It’s] not the time to do it,” said Vice Chair Jay Knerr.

Knerr referred to the plethora of issues the thoroughfare currently faces.

A motion was proposed and seconded, but when it came time to decide, members voted 2-3.

There was then a second motion proposed by members of the committee to keep the road as is in hopes of sustaining the existing congestion on Route 589, which was seconded by Committee Member Clay Vince, and the vote was 6-1.

Headaches for Worcester motorists Continued from Page 3 nificant slope repair, which will require a complete closure and detour of Route 589 for up to eight weeks.”

Signs were erected directing motorists to use alternate routes 50, 113 and 90.

“Access to businesses within the project area will be maintained during construction, but delays should be expected,” the release said.

Ocean Pines General Manager John Bailey said the closure is creating some confusion.

“I think most folks are not taking the

normal or the designated detours of 113 and 90 and 50. A lot of them are using Cathell and a lot of them are using Adkins [roads], which is producing significant problems over at 50 and the intersection there at Royal Farms, and at the high school,” Bailey said. “I haven’t spoken with State Highway directly, but that may be something where they want to look at the timing of that light to get more people through there.”

Bailey advised motorists to “be aware of it and be patient.”

“The traffic is certainly heavier on those roads than normal,” he said.

Ocean Pines Marketing and Public Relations Director Denise Sawyer said road closures were necessary headaches.

“Most of our residents would agree that road maintenance to the main traffic artery in Ocean Pines is crucial. In the past few days, I have been fielding several calls from Ocean Pines residents.

Some are airing out their frustration, while others are offering up alternate routes. All in all, the association is happy to have Route 589 on Maryland State Highway Administration’s radar,” she said.

Races set for mayor, three seats on council Continued from Page 1 several unsuccessful campaigns for council, has turned his political focus to the race for mayor.

Among those vying for the trio of open council seats, in addition to incumbents City Council President Lloyd Martin and Councilman Matt James, are soon-to-be-retired OCPD Sgt. Mark Paddack, Christopher Rudolf, who currently serves on the Ocean City Board of Zoning Appeals and Emily Nock, president of Salisbury-based Nock Insurance Agency.

Martin, who was first elected in 2002 and has served as president since 2012, admitted many were surprised by his subdued campaign in the last election.

“I wanted people to vote for me because they wanted me to be there,” he said during an earlier interview.

James, who won his first term four years ago, was the first council candidate to file for this year’s race. During the 2014, campaign James garnered 1,666 of 2,348 votes to capture 71 percent of ballots, the highest percentage of victory for council in city history.

Despite his avowed passion for local politics, Paddack, who will retire on Oct. 31 after 28 years with the local police department, was ineligible to serve on council while employed by the city.

“As a Town of Ocean City employee, the charter prohibits a person … from being both boss and servant,” he said previously. “I’ve accepted that since the 1990s and waited until retirement.”

Rudolf, who ran unsuccessfully for council in 2014 and presently serves on the Board of Zoning Appeals, has lived in Ocean City since 2005 and previously Rick Meehan assisted with a Maryland Senate campaign for Carousel Group Managing Partner Michael James.

Emily Nock was the final council candidate to toss a hat in the ring Tuesday afternoon. Native to Ocean City, Nock began working with Nock Insurance Agency in 1999. The Stephen Decatur High School graduate later attended Wor-Wic Community College and also holds a degree from Salisbury State University.

Resort voters will also be asked to consider a referendum to amend the town charter to allow the Ocean City Firefighters Union, IAFF Local 4269, to use binding interest arbitration to negotiate collective bargaining agreements. Under this change, if the city and the union reached an impasse, the dispute would be decided by a third party.

In 2002, resort voters approved a collective bargaining with binding arbitration request from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10, by a 1,090 to 927 tally. Never has a contract dispute gone that far, however.

Ocean City municipal elections will be held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center, 4001 Coastal Highway in conjunction, but sepa-

Chris Rudolf running for seat on OC Council

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Christopher Rudolf, 31, is making another bid for a seat on the Ocean City Council, having come close in 2014, when he came in fifth out of eight candidates vying for four open seats.

A jack-of-all-trades in some respects, Rudolf works as the flying team manager at the Kite Loft on Fifth Street in Ocean City; he is a licensed Realtor in Maryland and Delaware and serves as a legislative assistant in Senate Minority Office in Annapolis.

Rudolf has called Ocean City home since 2005, when he moved from Howard County, Maryland. He studied political science and history at Salisbury University and found his love of politics.

Rudolf served an internship at the Maryland General Assembly for thenSen. Janet Greenit, of District 33.

Rudolf said the experience was a positive one and it’s one he hopes to apply to local politics if elected.

“You gotta look out for people back home,” he said.

He characterized his views as “fiscally conservative and socially moderate,” and said one of his strengths comes from helping those close to his heart: the people of Ocean City.

“I like talking to people,” Rudolf said.

“I like hearing from the residents, how they think, what makes them tick, you know what their issues are, and what direction they’d like to the city to go in.”

When dealing with elected positions, Rudolf said heart and progress are crucial component to success.

“I want to see the right thing happen for the place that we where we live, where we work and that we ultimately love,” Rudolph said.

Rudolf stressed the importance of pursuing policies that advance recreation and tourism.

“Tourism is the lifeblood of Ocean City,” he said. “If we don’t have tourism, this town is going to die a painful death.”

Law enforcement, transportation and the economy are also important to Rudolf’s platform.

“People have to follow our laws, [and] respect the authorities here,” Rudolf said.

Rudolf referenced how the unofficial foreign car event several weeks ago could be detrimental tourism in Ocean City.

He proposed increasing fines as a way to accomplish two things: provide revenue and deter unsavory activity.

“We want to have policies in place that leave people with good memories,” Rudolf said.

He also said he strives for fiscal re-

sponsibility, and believes “tax dollars [should] go to effective policy. “ “It’s not cheap living at the beach,” Rudolf said.

Rudolf cited business, shops being open special events as reasons for the current lack of year-round living.

“I don’t know that we’re a year-round town for the foreseeable future, [but] I think we can get there,” he said. “I think right now we’re a three-quarters-of-theyear-round-town.”

Rudolf said bitter-cold winter months can be “challenging to do outdoor activities,” but promoting special events, like the Winter Festival of Lights helps to bring revenue to the area throughout the year.

“Resort towns up and down the coast suffer from that complex,” he said. “It’s something that we have to deal with, and remember that our window of prosperity is not the entire year.”

But he has one goal in mind: effectively utilizing area businesses’ “moneymaking window” during the summer season.

“I think we need to maximize that to its greatest potential so that people can come here and live a prosperous lifestyle, and enjoy Ocean City all at the same time.”

Rudolf said he also likes the “increasingly diverse dynamic” coming to Ocean City.

“I think that Ocean City should be a

Christopher Rudolf

place that welcomes all different sorts of backgrounds,” Rudolf It should be an enjoyable place for everyone.

What does Rudolph see for the future of Ocean City? He said he sees a welcoming town that holds events that people want to go to.

“That’s the way forward in the 21st Century, and I really want to be a part of that, and make Ocean City a great place for everybody to come and enjoy,” he said.

Rudolf is also a lover of history.

“It’s important for people to understand how we got to where we are today,” he said.

To put it simply, Rudolf is a self-proclaimed Ocean City enthusiast.

“In my opinion, Ocean City is the coolest corner in the state of Maryland,” he said.

‘Win-win’ campaign launched for zero-waste

(Oct. 12, 2018) Go Green OC, a campaign dedicated to initiating zero waste goals and assisting with the implementation of such projects for Ocean City, recently launched the first phase of their campaign with a Compost Pilot Program.

The four-week program includes a national partnership with Sunbelt Rentals and local partnerships with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, an organic farm in Berlin, and The Hobbit Restaurant on 82nd Street in Ocean City.

For the first two weeks, the owner of The Hobbit Restaurant, Garvey Heiderman, will focus on gathering data from all organic waste created pre-consumer.

During the final phase of the pro-

gram, the entire restaurant will participate in separating compostable food scraps from the waste stream.

“Normally, these food scraps would be sent to an incinerator, but we are repurposing them in our local market”, Josh Chamberlain, founder of Go Green OC, said.

Composting is in heavy demand. This year the State Highway Administration is required to use compost and compostbased products for specified pollution mitigation strategies.

Farmers use it for their crops, businesses use it for landscaping, and individuals require it for their gardens and home uses. It can reduce up to 95 per-

cent of pollutant runoffs when used properly. Community composting can also create between 10 and 15 local jobs.

“The Hobbit Restaurant is looking forward to being the first participant in this pilot composting project. We know the public is very interested in programs which positively impact the environment and we are excited to push forward,” Heiderman said.

The Town of Ocean City benefits from this program in several ways. The amount of waste removed from trash pickup saves the town money in tipping fees. Also, the program minimizes the need for multiple weekly trash pickups at the Hobbit, thus spending less of the town’s resources.

“This is a win-win for our community.

Our local farmer benefits from our organic waste, The Hobbit Restaurant supports a sustainable environmental program and the town saves money,” Chamberlain said.

“This program would not have been possible without the incredible support of Sunbelt Rentals, Mr. Heiderman, consultation from the Institute for Local SelfReliance and our local farm. We hope that by community members leading this pilot program that others will follow.” Deb Heft, vice president of Go Green OC, said.

Go Green OC hopes to expand the program in 2019 and is looking for additional farms to assist with collection of organic waste.

‘Berlin Gateway’ on Route 50 gets green light from council

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) Public interest was slightly less than expected Tuesday night, as the Berlin Town Council voted 4-1 to pave the way for the annexation and development of a new “Berlin Gateway” on Route 50 by adding three parcels of land to its growth area.

The property owner, Ernie Gerardi, is known for restoring old commercial and residential buildings in and around the downtown area.

Gerardi said Tuesday he wants to develop the property at the corner of Route 50 and Old Ocean City Boulevard into an attractive new entrance to Berlin. The project could include a gas station and welcome center, hotel, retail spaces, and a car dealership.

“I’ve done several buildings in this town. Frankly, some of your worst buildings,” he said. “I’ve made them into nicelooking properties … I did it as an investment, but I did it because I wanted the town to look a lot better.”

Gerardi said he picked “all the worst things on main streets coming into town” – including William Street, Main Street and Broad Street – and made improvements.

“I still believe [the proposed gateway] will be an attractive thing coming in our

town. I still believe it can be done in a very tasteful manner,” Gerardi said. “I live in this town. I don’t want the quality of life to be diminished – that would be stupid.”

Councilman Zack Tyndall, who is also running for Worcester County Commissioner for the Berlin district, opposed the development and cited public planning workshops and a residential survey that occurred about four years ago. Tyndall said nearly 25 percent of the townspeople responded and many said a top priority was minimizing sprawl.

“Fifty three percent of the respondents felt expanding the town’s existing boundaries through annexation was inappropriate,” Tyndall said. He asked Gerardi if he could wait until the next stage of public planning meetings, which are expected to start around 2020.

Gerardi, 82, joked he could be dead by then.

“I believe that we develop plans for a reason. We ask people to participate in those surveys and workshops for a reason. And, with that, I respect the time that they gave, therefore I will not be voting to amend the comprehensive plan,” Tyndall said.

The Berlin Planning Commission held a similar public hearing in July, when 18 residents offered public comments and 12 were in favor. With that input, the

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

A public hearing Tuesday night at the Berlin Town Council drew slightly less of a crowd than a previous planning commission meeting on the same subject, adding parcels of land near the corner of Route 50 and Old Ocean City Boulevard to the growth area. Public comments were split and the council voted 4-1 in favor. Property owner Ernie Gerardi plans to develop the property into a new “Berlin Gateway.”

commission voted 5-1 to recommend adding the land to the growth area.

On Tuesday night at Town Hall, a slightly less sizeable crowd gathered and only four people made comments – two for and two against.

One man said he was concerned if the property is annexed into town, it would only encourage more annexation.

Jeff Smith agreed.

“There’s definitely the potential for opening up 500 acres of development along Old Ocean City Boulevard,” he said. “Unless the council is going to address that, I would tend to agree with

Councilman Tyndall that this is a proposal that should wait until the entire town could have an opportunity to weigh in on it, as opposed to having it addressed by a handful of people.”

Carol Rose said she favored the development and the public hearing was the time to weigh in.

“It’s an opportunity for anybody in the town to come and voice their opinion one way or the other. It’s been advertised,” she said.

Cam Bunting also favored the proposal.

“I feel like if anybody else was interSee BURRELL Page 10

Skipjack acquisition will not impact OC plan

(Oct. 12, 2018) Deepwater Wind, the developer of the proposed Skipjack wind farm just north of Ocean City off the coast of Delaware, announced this week that it’s being acquired by Ørsted, a global offshore wind leader.

In a release announcing the deal, the company said its development of Skipjack Wind and its investments in the state will continue has planned.

“The new company is committed to building the Skipjack Wind Farm, just as Deepwater Wind has planned, said Deepwater CEO Jeffrey Grybowski.

“We will help make Maryland’s offshore

LIKE US ON

wind goals a reality. Development of the 120-megawatt Skipjack Wind Farm will continue as planned, and our Annapolis-based team and local project office will remain.

“We remain committed to making major investments in port facilities and infrastructure in Baltimore and Ocean City. The Skipjack Wind Farm is expected to be commissioned in 2022.” Ørsted has entered into an agreement with the D.E. Shaw Group to acquire a 100 percent equity interest in Rhode Island-based Deepwater for $510 million. The two companies’ off-

shore wind assets and organizations will be merged into what the companies say will be the leading US offshore wind platform with the most comprehensive geographic coverage and the largest pipeline of development capacity.

Deepwater Wind’s portfolio has a total potential capacity of approx.

3.3GW comprising: Block Island (30MW), the only operational offshore wind farm in the U.S. Three offshore wind development projects in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland and New York, totaling 810MW of capacity with long-term rev-

enue contracts in place or pending finalization.

Approximately 2.5GW of offshore wind development potential across three lease areas in Massachusetts and Delaware. Ørsted’s current U.S. offshore wind portfolio includes development rights off Massachusetts and New Jersey, and it will be building two wind turbine installations off the coast of Virginia. Ørsted entered the U.S. market in 2015 and sees the US renewables market as an attractive, strategic growth opportunity.

RENDERING COURTESY PLANNING COMMISSION

Rendering for a Hilton Tru hotel project on 33rd Street and Hitchens Avenue. The Ocean City Planning Commission approved the site plan unanimously during last Tuesday’s meeting.

PNZ approves site plan for new Hilton Hotel on 33rd St.

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The Ocean City Planning and Zoning Committee unanimously approved a site plan for a proposed Hilton Tru on property between 33rd and 34th Streets during its Tuesday, Oct. 2 session.

The proposed project on the parcel now occupied by Planet Maze and Lost Galaxy Golf on Coastal Highway would consist of 105 rooms and 104 parking spots, with an additional space designated as a bus shelter.

“We think it’s a great concept, and it’ll have its own niche in Ocean City … it won’t be like some of the other motels in Ocean City, and it’ll have a different audience” said attorney High Cropper.

That audience Cropper referred to is millennials. He said the developers, Deep Blue Hospitality LLC, are pursuing a concept of smaller, more costefficient rooms, a pool and larger community spaces within the motel.

Cropper focused on three issues at

the review: traffic, engineering and architecture.

Betty Tustin, a traffic engineer, said there would be ample signage available on the property to help direct the many motorists and pedestrians coming and going.

“I think it’s an excellent on-site traffic flow,” Tustin said.

Tustin added drivers would have southbound access to Coastal Highway and could get to the northbound lanes of Coastal Highway via a U-turn.

Plans were presented to the Maryland State Highway, who Tustin said “had no objections to the plan.”

Engineer Steven Lemasters addressed several points within the site plan review, but one that stood out was stormwater management, “using an existing easement on the north side of the property.” He added an existing retention pond and underground basin would help to alleviate flooding.

When asked about potential floodSee COMMISSION Page 11

Burrell: project good for town Continued from Page 8 ested, they would be here tonight for this meeting,” she said.

Bunting said much of the surrounding area was already in the growth area and could be developed if property owners were willing. She joked she met with one owner who said unless the head of Google was willing to pay him $160 million, “they have no interest in doing any kind of development.”

She also confronted Tyndall.

“I talked to Zack before about this property and, honestly, you didn’t want to know the facts,” Bunting said. “I tried to explain what [Gerardi] was trying to do and you had really already made your mind up.

“Until Mr. Gerardi came out and said what he was going to do with the property, your part as a councilperson was to be open to that,” she added.

Mayor Gee Williams said the decision boiled down to whether the town wanted to have a say in what happened to the property, or whether they wanted to leave that up to the county. The land is already in the county growth area.

“Quite frankly, it’s not their business to decide how our town develops, what our character is, what our values are, what’s important to us,” Williams said.

“That’s not their job – that’s our job.”

Councilman Dean Burrell agreed with earlier remarks that the public hearing was the opportunity for people to comment. He said plenty of citizens had also voiced their opinions to him on the street – and in checkout lines at Walmart.

“The overwhelming response I have got for this project is that it is a positive thing … and good for the Town of Berlin,” he said.

RENDERING COURTESY PLANNING COMMISSION

The proposed 33rd Street Hilton Tru. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the site plan during a meeting last Tuesday.

Commission approves new hotel Continued from Page 10 ing onto Coastal Highway, Lemasters said there was a possibility.

Engineer Terry McGean said he recognizes community concerns with regards to the stormwater issue, and said “we will continue to address them as we continue to move from this stage of the process to [the] building permit process.”

Deep Blue Hospitality co-owner Mike Meoli agreed with the need to monitor the backup, and said under the right circumstances and if the proper permits could be obtained, they would assume responsibility.

“If they’re not outrageous. If they’re done once a year, we’ll pay for it,” Meoli said.

Atlantic Planning architects addressed augmentations made to the property, including the pool, foliage and a fence.

The presentation did not sail through without contention, however, and while commission member Lauren Taylor stressed “this is not a public hearing,” people in the audience

were permitted to express their concerns.

Attorney John C. Seipp, representing Jamaica Bay and Sandpiper condominiums, said his clients had no problem with the hotel itself, but that the stormwater management system had been paid for by them.

“It’s our pipe. We paid for this pipe.

The owner [of the hotel] did not contribute one nickel to this pipe,” Seipp said.

Seipp added the load may be too much for the 18-inch pipe. He also called for himself and architect Keith Iott to have the opportunity to look over the development files.

Cropper replied that the commission doesn’t “decide stormwater retention at a site plan” meeting, but that he was open to working with Seipp’s clients to attempt to find another option that would benefit all.

The commission members voted 50 to approve the site plan, with a stipulation that condominium associations approve the stormwater management plan.

Technical review committee OKs Sea Oak Village plan

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) A site plan review for a 59-unit townhouse development with an additional 24,000 square feet set aside for commercial use will got to the Planning Commission on Nov. 1, after gaining approval from the Technical Review Committee.

Developers of Sea Oaks Village went to Snow Hill on Wednesday to request a commercial access permit to use the 24,000 square feet designated for commercial use.

The property is approximately 40 acres and is located on the west side of Stephen Decatur Highway, just south of Sunset Avenue.

The project required 59 EDUs for

townhouses and four EDUs for commercial use. The developers received the requisite EDUs after the county commissioners gave approval in late September.

The Technical Review Committee also required the use and placement of a residential planned community road bond before any construction begins as well as geo-tech reports to be submitted to the Department of Public Works. The developers agreed to the terms, and were ultimately given approval by the committee.

If the site plan gains the approval of the Planning Commission, the developers will appear before the county commissioners within the weeks that follow to complete the process.

Council split over extra loot for water tower paint design

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The Ocean City Council split on investing an additional $5,000 to enhance the upcoming painting project for the 64th Street water tower, eventually voting 4-3 in favor of spending more than $220,000 based on aesthetical concerns, at its work session on Tuesday.

Public Works Director Hal Adkins said the painting project had been budgeted for up to $250,000 in the fiscal 2019 Water Department budget.

After reviewing project bids received on Sept. 11, Adkins said the staff recommended awarding the contract to D & M Painting, while noting the firm has previously completed similar work for the city, including the last time the 64th Street water tower was repainted in 2011.

Adkins said D & M bid more than $187,000 to paint the tower solely in light blue, with the cost reaching roughly $215,000 to add the Ocean City welcome logo with sunburst design.

Councilman Tony DeLuca made a motion, seconded by Councilman Dennis Dare, to accept the latter of those options.

“It’s much simpler, not as busy and just a cleaner look,” he said.

Countering that choice was Councilman John Gehrig, who championed the next price tier of $220,500, which includes painting the tower light blue with the logo, but adds a contrasting dark blue band to highlight the lettering.

“Hopefully, the rest of us consider the blue band … I think it looks bet-

ter,” he said.

Backing DeLuca was Councilman Wayne Hartman.

“The light blue paint makes it blend,” he said. “It’s simpler, cleaner and $5,000 cheaper.”

Council President Lloyd Martin saw value in the upcharge option.

“It’s a clearer message, with the other painting the tank doesn’t pop enough,” he said.

Gehrig also said the logo was less than effective without the distinguishing blue band.

“It looks like we just put a sticker on a water tower,” he said. “If we don’t care how it looks, let’s just keep it blank.”

Councilwoman Mary Knight echoed Gehrig’s sentiments.

“I don’t think anybody is going to see [it] without the blue band,” she said. “With the band it pops more.”

Hartman than wondered if, perhaps, polling the general electorate might add further perspective.

“This has got to be [one of] the most debated things we’ve done,” he said. “It’s election season, let’s put it on the ballot.”

Mayor Rick Meehan also saw value in the painting upcharge.

“Without the blue band it looks kind of static,” he said. “If we’re going to advertise … and spend money, let’s do it right.”

After Deluca’s initial motion to spend $215,000 for the light blue paint job without an additional dark blue band only gained support from Dare and Hartman, Knight made a motion, which passed 4-3 and reversed the pervious vote, to spend the additional roughly $5,000 for the accentuating blue circle.

Bus ridership down, but tram usage higher

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Although Ocean City transit bus ridership took a slight dip this summer as compared to last year, a counterbalancing bump was recorded in Boardwalk tram usage, the Transportation Committee reported this week.

At the Transportation Committee meeting Tuesday, Transit Manager Mark Rickards provided the data as part of a bus and tram end-of-season summary, highlighting peak passenger periods.

“We did an end-of-season analysis [and] although the bus ridership was down … a little less than four percent, overall tram ridership increased five percent over last year,” he said. “One of our major summer months — August — the bus ridership was up.”

In addition to adding 11 buses to the

fleet in 2018, Rickards said there were a few smaller, yet consequential, improvements.

“This was the first year we had the TransLoc [Rider app] … and the first year we had the digital [security] cameras,” he said.

As is often the case, although Mother Nature does pitch an odd curve some years, resort buses shuttled peak summer passenger counts on July 4th with more than 27,000 riders, Rickards said.

“It’s a great day and a lot of that is related to the fireworks,” he said.

The next highest pull for bus trippers was, perhaps, less expected.

“Sunfest Saturday we had good weather and it was just a few hundred less than we had on the 4th of July,” he said. “After that, all the top days were in June, either high school graduates or the [Ocean City] Air Show.”

In total, Rickards said teenagers venturing to the shore for senior week accounted for 11 of the top 25 peak days for bus riders, with Saturday typically the

busiest day of any given week.

“I don’t think there was any surprises there [and] our operations people know,” he said. “This is really handy when we’re looking at deploying next year.”

Shifting to tram ridership, Rickards said while Independence Day was among the top 25 highest passenger days for the Boardwalk transport, it only reached number 15 for the summer.

“Our best day for tram ridership is Sunfest Saturday, which is number two for buses,” he said. “That’s a busy day for us.”

Unlike the bus stats, which skew heavier in June, Rickards said August is typically the peak month for tram operations.

“The families are here using the Boardwalk,” he said. “Labor Day Weekend is very strong for trams when the weather is good.”

After mechanical issues caused a few hiccups for Boardwalk tram operations last summer, Rickards said the fleet

began a transition to newer Jeeps and trailing units this summer, and is already yielding dividends.

“This year we were able to keep almost all of our staffing deployments … as a result we reached almost all of our peak predictions,” he said. “We had the best year since 2015 for ridership and revenue since 2001.”

Subpar weather, or in many instances an incorrect weekend forecast, was likely a key ingredient in the underwhelming bus tallies, Rickards said.

“We lost some good ridership for a few Saturdays in July on bus and trams,” he said. “If we had good weather every day, ridership would be up across the board on both buses and trams.”

Mayor Rick Meehan noted the direct correlation between minimizing maintenance downtime for tram units in 2018 compared to the year prior and the subsequent increase in ridership and revenue.

“It shows when we do that the numbers will be there,” he said.

Drain cleaning to lessen flooding

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) To reduce street flooding that has become more common with extreme weather in Ocean City, the City Council on Tuesday approved allocating $100,000 from the Maryland Stormwater and Critical Area Mitigation fund to finance a comprehensive storm drain-cleaning program.

Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer said, in addition to the state level agreement, the council is required to approve the fund transfer.

“We collect [funds] into a deferred revenue account until we have a project

acceptable to the [Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays] Critical Area Commission that meets environmental, habitat and water quality benefits,” she said.

Blazer said the cleaning project entails approximately 47 miles of storm drains and more than 2,700 catch basins/junction boxes, and is being coordinated with the State Highway Administration, which owns and maintains Coastal Highway, Philadelphia Avenue and Baltimore Avenue, plus the associated storm drain systems.

The system consists of catch basins, piping and outfalls, or discharge points

that flow directly into bay waters.

Blazer said the intent is to remove sediment buildup inside drainage pipes and catch basin drop bottoms, which are meant to provide space below outlet pipes to trap debris.

Public Works Director Hal Adkins said recent related cleaning activities by city staff have come across other kinds of impediments to brisk flow of storm water.

“We are finding chunks of asphalt from previous Coastal Highway paving projects that made it into the catch basin system,” he said.

While numerous outfall pipes apSee STORM Page 16

MORGAN PILZ/ OCEAN CITY TODAY

Storm drain maintenance needed Continued from Page 14 pear at least partially blocked from catch basin sediment build-up, Adkins said the hope is when delving deeper into the pipe systems the volume of debris is reduced.

“The reality of the matter is that clogs up the whole works,” he said.

Adkins also presented a map highlighting the last decade’s worth of paving projects completed in the resort.

“Those streets that had storm drain systems in them have been totally replaced,” he said. “I seriously doubt we will find much accumulation of sediment in those specific areas.”

Adkins said the storm drain maintenance project would not require replacing every single linear foot of piping.

“That’s not the case, but I do think we’re going to find some substantial clogs along the Baltimore Avenue corridor,” he said. “If we can get those cleaned up, I think we’re going to see

drastic improvement in the drainage.”

Because of the state partnership, Adkins said the staff would not solicit and return with project bids.

“We are piggybacking off a recently competitively bid state contact to go about expending these funds and cleaning the system,” he said. “You will not see us back before you with a bid opening.”

Councilman Matt James asked Adkins where removed sediment would be relocated.

“There may be an interim location where we have currently approved sediment and erosion control documents,” he said. “We have a working relationship with Continental Realty, owner of the Ocean Plaza Mall, [that] we use as a construction staging site.”

The bulk of removed sediment and sand is designated to continue filling in a 40-acre airport parcel the city has been using for more than a decade,

with state approval, for comparable purposes.

“We have approval at the Ocean City Airport,” he said. “That will be the final resting place for this material.”

Councilman Wayne Hartman compared the long-neglected project to annual canal dredging.

“If we do it with a schedule, I think we can environmentally save lot of debris from transferring through the pipe and ultimately in the bay,” he said. “The flooding uptown has certainly gotten worse.”

Blazer said other ongoing benefits include reducing the level of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, flowing into area waterways.

“We need to make sure this is sustainable and that we find the hot spots that fill up quickly and on a regular basis,” she said. “It will help us prioritize the rest of the system and ultimately the funding efficiently.”

(Oct. 12, 2018) The Town of Ocean City this week reminded residents that the winter trash collection schedule will resume Oct. 12.

Residential trash collections will be reduced to one day per week, while commercial trash collections will be reduced to three days per week.

The winter trash collection schedule will be as follows: Residential (waste wheelers) Monday: Oceanside (75th Street to 146th Street); Bayside (75th Street to 135th Street).

Tuesday: All areas (Inlet to 74th Street); Bayside (136th Street to 146th Street).

Campground expansions approved Unanimous votes for Fort Whaley, Frontier Town sites

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Plans were unanimously approved for proposals to expand Fort Whaley and Frontier Town campgrounds during the Worcester County Planning and Zoning meeting last Thursday.

The Fort Whaley Campground expansion proposal involved parking, traffic, bike racks, lighting, and design initiatives.

Each campsite has between two and two-and-a-half parking spaces, according to the proposal. Additional parking is proposed near a bathhouse and recreational center. There is existing parking provided near the store, and bike racks are also available for pa-

trons.

The site’s legend has lighting using 223-watt lights mounted on 20-foot poles, according to the proposal. The area will also align to its roots in the Old West.

“This development is located within the agricultural tradition, but it also holds its own unique character and history as part of the old western theme,” the proposal said.

Developer Bob Hufnagel said as part of forest conservation efforts, there will be an additional 2,000 trees planted over 13 acres.

The request to add 101 campsites to Frontier Town Campground was unanimously approved.

The campsites would be on the eastern side of Stephen Decatur Highway, near Assateague Way, according to the proposal.

A proposal was originally approved at a July 6, 2017 meeting for 213 campsites at the northern southern and amenity sections of the property, but the Worcester County Commissioners’ approved the initiative under the condition of 101 campsites because of limits on sewer treatment capacity, as measured by equivalent dwelling units.

The proposal was amended to serve the 101 campsites, according to the proposal.

Vice Chairman Jay Knerr asked what would become of the additional space, and Attorney Hugh Cropper said the “it’ll just sit.”

Cropper added that his client would like to appeal its request for additional EDUs. The motion for approval was made

by Jerry Barbieri and seconded by Marlene Ott.

Feds head raid on Ramadan’s West OC home

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office joined a federal multi-agency raid on a West Ocean City residence Wednesday morning, and while charges were not filed as of press time, the property in question is linked to the Ramadan family.

Social media video posted by an adjacent neighbor recorded the sunrise operation and said the loud voices of law enforcement agents serving a search warrant shattered the early morning quiet.

Worcester County property records show a pair of homes on Whisper Trace Drive, in the Oyster Harbor neighborhood in West Ocean City, are deeded to Samir Ramadan.

In May 2013, brothers Samir and Basel Ramadan were arrested after Homeland Security officers and investigators from New York raided their Oyster Harbor residences in connection with an alleged multi-million-dollar cigarette smuggling operation.

In October 2015, Basel Ramadan was indicted and sentenced to between four and 12 years, along with 15 other defendants, on 198 counts, including enterprise corruption and money laundering.

In the 2013 bust, police reported removing trash bags containing about $1.4 million from Basel Ramadan’s home.

According to New York court documents Basel Ramadan was paroled on May 17, 2017.

Updates on the story will be posted on this paper’s website at www.oceancitytoday.com.

Holiday weekend rip currents claim 2 lives on Assateague OCBP motto: ‘Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard is in the stand’

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Rip currents took the lives of 51-year-old Steven Der, of Chantilly, Virginia, and 18-year-old Brian Purnell, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sunday on Assateague Island, according to Lt. Catherine Medellin, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police.

Der was in the water around 12:22 p.m. with a 17-year-old woman — their relationship is unclear — when he “was overcome by water,” Medellin said. Although a man on a surfboard tried to rescue Der, he was taken to Atlantic General Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to Medellin.

Purnell was in the water with a friend when he also was pulled in by a rip tide around 5:43 p.m. on Sunday, Medellin said. A Maryland Parks Service member saw a man, later identified as Purnell, struggling, and attempted to rescue him, according to Medellin. He was taken to Atlantic General Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Medellin said lifeguards were on duty, and a yellow flag was flying, which means people should exercise caution.

Rangers later flew a red flag, and Medellin said personnel advised parkgoers of the increased danger via beach patrols, sign postings in dunes, and spoke to people as they went through the toll booth.

Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt.

Butch Arbin said “several dozen rescues” were made in the resort over the weekend.

A beach patrol member responded to a rescue around noon on Sunday at 128th Street, Arbin said. He said area witnesses originally thought the man was waving or playing in the water.

The victim was conscious, but then

fell unconscious, Arbin said. The fire department then took over rescuing of the victim, and he was transported to Atlantic General Hospital.

Arbin said the overall outcome was “successful,” as the victim “was alert [and] breathing as of [Sunday] night.”

Arbin said if people can be resuscitated within the first minute, it’s “usually successful.” He stressed the importance of people reporting things they see in the water as soon as possible.

“You delay that one more minute … the outcome wouldn’t have been so good,” Arbin said.

More than 70 percent of people “become victims themselves” after attempting to help those caught in rip currents, Arbin said.

The beach patrol ended the lifeguard season for 2018 on Sept. 23, and will resume May 2019.

There were personnel on the beach up until Columbus Day Weekend cleaning the beach and taking things down who could assist in the event of an emergency, Arbin said. However, in the winter months, entering the water is done at a person’s own risk, and he discouraged people from swimming.

In the event of an emergency on the beach during the off-season, the fire department would respond if someone called 911, Arbin said.

During the winter season, Arbin cited safety concerns and encouraged beachgoers to find other ways to occupy their time, and keep with the beach patrol’s motto of “keep[ing] your feet in the sand until the lifeguard is in the stand.”

The beach patrol made nearly 4,000 rescues over the summer, according to Arbin. He said rip currents also have a risk in August and September.

While there were numerous rescues last weekend in Ocean City, Arbin was somberly reminded of those who did not survive.

“Two people paid the ultimate price on Assateague,” Arbin said.

New Emergency Services director (Oct. 12, 2018) The Worcester County Commissioners have named Billy Birch the new Worcester County Emergency Services (WCES) director.

Birch, who joined emergency services on Sept. 24, will step into his new role as director following the retirement of current Director Fred Webster in December.

Birch brings 25 years of experience in law enforcement, emergency management, and disaster response to the job.

Prior to stepping into this new role, Birch served as operations manager of the Uniform Protective Services Division at NASA Wallops Flight Facility, where he served as the on-scene commander for all Antares resupply missions to the International Space Station, overseeing all rocket launches, aircraft operations, and special projects.

During his time at NASA, he worked closely with federal representatives with NASA, Navy, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Billy Birch and state and local officials on emergency operations plans, response issues, and to ensure the efficient recovery of communities in the event of natural or manmade emergency situations.

“Emergencies do not fall into one neat package and do not happen when we would like to plan them to occur,” Birch said. “My goal is to continue to strengthen our Worcester County Emergency Services department by building

even stronger relationships with all of our county, state, and federal first responder team partners. These relationships are vital to our county’s success and need to be built prior to a large scale event.”

Birch earned numerous law enforcement and instructor training certifications, awards, and recognitions, focusing on use of force, active shooter, high risk conflict resolution, victims’ rights, and employee relations. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in conflict analysis and dispute resolution at Salisbury University.

Birch lives in Snow Hill where he is an active member of the community and member of the Richard A. Henson Family YMCA, serving as a swim official, fundraiser, and supporter of the HFY Platypi swim team.

Tattoo cmte, moratorium extended

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) In May, the Berlin Town Council voted 3-1 with one member absent to recommend forwarding regulations proposed by the Tattoo Ordinance Committee to the Worcester County Commissioners.

While the commissioners decided not to act, the Town Council on Tuesday night voted unanimously to allow the committee to continue its work, meeting bimonthly, and to extend a moratorium on new tattoo businesses until Nov. 8, 2020.

This time, committee members said they would target the State of Maryland.

“We see that this problem is bigger than Berlin. It’s bigger than Worcester County.

It’s really the State of Maryland’s … lack of any kind of structure,” Patricia Dufendach said. “They don’t have any requirements for certification, which prevents an industry, which a lot of people participate in.

“The expanse of this art form is not controlled in Maryland. It has a potential for being a completely unregulated – and dangerous – expression,” she continued. “We hope that you concur that the State of Maryland should look into this, and we are asking our state representatives to come up with … standards.

They have standards for your hairdresser, your barber, your car mechanic.

Everyone has to have safety and public health standards.”

Councilman Dean Burrell agreed.

“As a member of this committee … we all see the need for tattooing in the state –and especially here in Berlin – to be regulated, but it should not be regulated to such an extent it prohibits someone going into that business,” he said. “I think we agree that the regulations should be realistic and thorough, but not prohibitive.”

Committee Chairman Matt Amey said any new regulations “should not

add any financial burden to the town.”

“It should be up to the business to support the process,” he continued. “It’s not the town’s responsibility to finance an industry.”

Mayor Gee Williams said it was ironic the state called itself progressive when many of its policies were not.

“Whatever stories they’re telling themselves in Annapolis, I hope they’re watching,” he said, adding that current laws on tattooing were a good example of “antiquated regulations.”

Williams went on to say it was part of a culture was that was both inappropriate and wrong, comparing it at one point to Prohibition.

“We encourage you to continue your work,” he said. “To not notice this cultural change in this community in general and in contemporary American society, you have to be blind … and I think some people are culturally blind of their own choosing.”

Police issue record citations at Endless Summer Cruisin’ Organizers says registered vehicle counts on par with past without major issues

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The 21st annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ came and went relatively peacefully last weekend, with Ocean City officials, police and allied law enforcement focused on preserving public safety following a spate of accidents and record arrests during several motor events last October.

Bob Rothermel of TEAM Productions, which has organized Cruisin’ events with Jack Hennen’s Special Event Productions since the shows began in 1978 as the Ocean City Hot Rod and Custom Car Show, said although last week’s approximately 2,300 registered attendees is on par with last October’s gathering, the footprint appeared reduced.

“It felt like there were a lesser amount of cars in town even though our registered numbers were high,” he said.

While the springtime Cruisin’ Ocean is a slightly larger draw with roughly 3,000 participating hot rods annually, Rothermel said last week’s event, regardless of precise attendance, went relatively smoothly as compared to the prior October.

“We felt the number of cars in town for the weekend was significantly less than in prior years,” he said. “The guys that just come to town and run with the pack … there was a lessening of those numbers.”

During last October’s event, a man was fatally struck by a Maryland State Police patrol car at 76th Street after allegedly running into the vehicle’s path. Another man was seriously injured after being hit by a 1998 Chevy Camaro on Coastal Highway near 54th Street.

Since that time, Mayor Rick Meehan and Police Chief Ross Buzzuro have spearheaded the Motor Events Task Force, which began meeting last December and was notable for spawning state legislation in partnership with the State Highway Administration to establish special event zones with reduced speeds and higher fines.

Adhering to previously established norms, Ocean City police were joined by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Maryland State Police, Natural Resources Police and other area law enforcement agencies, to increase coverage to near dragnet levels and enforce the resort-wide 30 mph maximum speed.

Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters said the concerted effort turned this year’s high-octane weekend into a relatively

uneventful affair.

“The Special Event Zone worked exactly as it was intended, by slowing vehicles down on Coastal Highway and giving our police officers additional enforcement tools for those who were not obeying the laws and ordinances,” she said.

OCPD statistics support that assertion, with 433 traffic citations issued last week. That marks a five-year high for Endless Summer Cruisin,’ which last year saw 403 citations issued.

Conversely, traffic warnings, which hit a five-year peak of 592 in 2015, closely followed by 510 in 2017, reduced to 377 last week. Overall traffic stops by police agencies hit 485 this year versus the 577 detained durSee CLASSIC Page 22

Classic cars bring sound without as much fury as past

GREG ELLISON/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Classic hot rod coupe roars along Coastal Highway last Saturday during the 21st annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event which brought comperable numbers of motor enthusiasts as last fall, but appeared to leave a smaller footprint than last year’s gathering with no serious injuries reported.

Continued from Page 21 ing Cruisin’ last October.

Waters also said total arrests, which hit a five-year high of 38 in 2017, dropped to 29 this year, with DUI cases dropping from nine incidents last fall to four last week.

There was a three-car accident on Saturday afternoon near 77th Street and Coastal Highway, Waters said, with half dozen people sustaining non-life threating injuries.

“It impacted traffic for an hour or so but was cleaned up relatively quickly,” she said. “It was very busy in town, as the event and the weather were the perfect combination for a successful Endless Summer Cruisin’ weekend.”

Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, said although hard revenue figures have yet to be compiled, custom and classic automobile adherents and admirers added the typical summer closing boost.

“We certainly had lots of cruisers in town,” she said. “The event drives business.”

Short of the multi-vehicle collision on Saturday, Jones said the American vintage and muscle car fiesta caused less disruption than the confluence of modified “JDM” cars — Japanese Domestic Market — largely Toyotas, Mitsubishis, Subarus, and Nissans — clogging Coastal Highway the week before.

“I didn’t hear of any acts of destruction,” she said. “It’s a well-behaved group, especially when you compare it to the H2Oi.” Rothermel noted a partnership with the U.S. 13 Dragway in Delmar resulted in the new “Takin’ It to the Strip,” gathering, a fresh effort to diffuse the Coastal Highway highspeed hijinks displayed by unruly car enthusiasts.

“It was a nice turnout for the first time we’ve done it,” he said. “We tried to do it this spring, but we got completely washed out.”

Although a full debriefing has yet to occur, Rothermel is hopeful the drag race and burnout contests at the U.S. 13 Dragway will become its own tradition.

“We helped bring cars out of Ocean City and send them across Delmarva,” he said.

Appreciating resident complaints from last fall had the potential to put the kibosh on a decades-long tradition, Rothermel said the intervening year, along with a unified approach, appear to have idled the throttle ever so slightly.

“The ones we want in town are the ones that are registered, follow the rules and want to be here,” he said.

“It was all a concentrated effort to maintain the safety of the streets.”

Hundreds of Corvettes are on display in the inlet parking lot last year during the 31st annual Free State Corvette Club Weekend in Ocean City. The 2018 event will take place this weekend.

Corvette Club to present annual weekend events

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The 32nd annual Free State Corvette Club Weekend kicks off today, Friday, at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street and the inlet parking lot.

Over 600 registered Corvettes, vintage and new, will be seen throughout the resort as well as the inlet, today and Saturday.

“Ocean City is a great venue. It’s a celebration of American sports cars and it’s one of the last chances to be able to drive your Corvette,” Jerry Apicella, public relations chair, said. “This is the final drive of the season, and it’s a highlight of the driving season.”

Tonight, a welcome dance party will take place in the Clarion Crystal Ballroom with live music from Different Sisters and a cash bar from 7-11 p.m. The event will include door prizes and raffles.

An all- you-can-eat buffet is available from 7-9 p.m. at an additional cost, though participants must sign up for the dinner in advance during registration.

inlet parking lot Saturday morning, where hundreds of cars can register and be on display. In addition, a number of vendors will be selling items, three car shows will take place and four car rallyes will be going on simultaneously before an afternoon Corvette Boardwalk parade launches at 4 p.m.

“A few members [of the Free State Corvette Club] just wanted to get away and have an excuse to go to Ocean City with their cars and it expanded,” Apicella said. “Now it’s grown to be what it is

today.”

The competitive car shows begin at 7:30 a.m., when Corvette owners will prepare their cars to be judged in three competitions: participants vote for favorite cars in all classes including their own in the Fun Show. Spina Bifida guests will select a favorite Corvette in the second show and a representative from the Free State Corvette Club will select Governor’s Choice award winners.

Participants in the shows are eligible See CORVETTE Page 26

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Residents and visitors of Ocean City can travel back in time this Saturday during the Historic House Tour, presented for the first time by the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum.

The Historic House Tour includes eight stops at a variety of Ocean City landmarks and sites: Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum, 813 S. Atlantic Ave.; An Inn on the Ocean, 1001 Atlantic Ave.; Robert’s Cottage, 1209 Washington Lane; Phillip’s House, 1580 Teal Ave.; St. Mary Star of the Sea, 208 S. Baltimore Ave.; St. Paul by the Sea, 302 N. Baltimore Ave.; Bay Breeze, 706 St. Louis Ave.; and Atlantic House, 501 N. Baltimore Ave. Christine Okerblom, assistant curator of the museum, said volunteers will be stationed at each stop to answer questions about the town’s hidden gems. Some homeowners will also show their houses personally to attendees.

Okerblom said the tour is a cultural and “educational” experience. “[It provides] a very unique opportunity for people to learn about the historic buildings that are still intact in Ocean City,” Okerblom said.

Tickets cost $25 for museum members and $30 for non-members, and Okerblom said the event “is for a great cause.”

Tour proceeds will benefit the George and Suzanne Hurley Scholarship Fund, a $1,000 scholarship for an eligible Stephen Decatur High School senior who plans to attend Salisbury University, Wor-Wic Community College, or the University of Maryland Eastern See OC Page 26

At 9:45 a.m., four rallyes will launch from the inlet simultaneously Saturday, taking drivers and their navigators on a scavenger hunt journey while collecting poker run cards and scrabble titles for various contests. The rallyes are limited to 150 registered corvettes.

“It’s not a timed event,” Apicella said.

“They’re encouraged to take their time and enjoy the roads less traveled – Berlin, Snow Hill, wherever the route may take them.”

Participants are encouraged to drive safely.

“Their licenses are placed into a padded envelope and sealed,” Apicella said. “If they come back and that seal has been opened, they’re disqualified, [because] they were probably pulled over and had to give their license.”

Participants can register for poker, scrabble or gimmick portions separately or concurrently, he said.

The highlight of Corvette Weekend is a parade with about 500 vehicles traveling north up the Boardwalk from the inlet starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

An awards presentation and wrap-up party will be held Saturday evening at the Clarion for the car shows and rallyes.

An awards presentation will take place at 8 p.m.

Another all-you-can-eat dinner will be served for an additional fee with a cash bar before the awards ceremony.

Diners must sign up for the buffet in advance during registration.

Corvette Weekend benefits several charities, including the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland, USO, Bennet Institute Booster Club, Heroes of the Water and Gilchrist.

Over the last 32 years, the Ocean City show has helped organizers donate more than $1 million to local nonprofits. Last year, over $60,000 was raised for the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland.

In 2017, more than 700 Corvettes were registered and organizers estimate 2,000 Corvettes overall were in the resort for the weekend.

“We gratefully thank Ocean City for allowing us to put this event on every year,” Apicella said.

Those who have not pre-registered for Corvette Weekend can visit the late registration table in the Clarion today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to sign up for the parade, shows and rallyes.

Online registration reopened today.

Registration costs $40 per person.

Participants do not need to be members of the Free State Corvette Club or another club to take part in Corvette Weekend.

Ocean City’s Fall Restaurant Week kicks off Sunday

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Taste the flavors of autumn during Ocean City’s Fall Restaurant Week, which begins Sunday, Oct. 14 and continues until Oct. 21, featuring discounted prices on meals.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for the diner because there are several restaurants who give really, really, good deals,” Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association, which organizes the annual event, said. “Really, it’s an opportunity for them to dine out to a place they might not have tried before at a less expensive price.

On the restaurant side, it brings business they might not have had otherwise. So, it’s a win-win for both.”

The two-week promotion, designed after the success of the Spring Restaurant Week, offers specials to draw diners through the doors when business is slower and gives chefs an opportunity to create a unique menu or try out new ideas. Eighteen participating restaurants range from pubs, breakfast and lunch eateries to fine-dining establishments.

“We have a lot of members who are participating and giving great deals because those are the deals they already have going on in the fall,” Jones said. “So, we’re just helping push those out and there’s other people who

It’s a great opportunity for them to try a bunch of very good food at a really affordable price.”

The restaurant will offer three courses for $30. The first course will include the Spanish sausage stew, a choice of Caesar or spring greens, brie baked oysters, mussels, a soup de jour and the bourbon slider – pork belly cooked “slow and low” for six hours, according to Hunt.

“Last year went well,” he said. “We were booked solid the entire week.”

The second course highlights crab cake and catfish entrees, scallops, housemade hamburger and a daily special. Finish off the course with crème brûlée or its seasonal fruit dessert.

Another restaurant to check out is Jules, a fine-dining experience on 118th Street. Jules has been a part of Restaurant Week since its inception 10 years ago.

“I love Restaurant Week. It’s a great promotion for the town,” said Adam Sanders, Jules’ owner and head chef.

“The Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association does a great job promoting it and getting people into the restaurants. It’s awesome.”

The three for $35 menu offered at Jules will include an appetizer, salad and entrée. Starters will include coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops with Asian barbecue glaze and mixed greens, crab bruschetta with jumbo lump crab, and pork belly with homemade peach barbecue glaze and sweet corn pone.

“It’s delicious food,” Sanders said.

“Everything is made from scratch. We butcher our own meats and make our soups and sauces from scratch. We take great pride in those soups and sauces. It’s real food, real good.”

Entrees feature a seafood pasta filled with lobster, scallops and shrimp in a vodka tomato sauce served over

Blume’s Balloon Roundup contest successful venture

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Two young Berlin residents took an environmental issue and created a summer contest as a solution, as participants collected 1,392 balloons from the bay and ocean.

It all began when Joshua, 12, and Emily Blume, 10, went fishing with their father, Luke, earlier this summer.

They noticed balloons in the water, which can be lethal for marine animals.

“I go out fishing with my dad a lot and we’d see a lot of balloons,” Joshua Blume said. “[Balloons] are really bad for the environment and the turtles eat them and they choke and die. They think the balloons are jellyfish, which is their natural diet, and they can’t digest them.”

Balloons tend to land in the bay and ocean after being released, and over time can lose the dyes chemically attached to them, leaving them colorless.

These colorless balloons attract the sea turtles, who easily mistake them for jellyfish. The balloon strings are also used by birds in the area to make their nests, which can tangle and choke their babies.

The siblings decided to hold a balloon-collecting contest throughout the resort, from June 30 to Sept. 30.

Within that 90-day period, fishermen and competitors collected nearly 1,400 balloons from the bay and ocean.

“I’m very proud of them,” Luke Blume said. “It was a neat thing they did, and I think it helped. A lot of people were saying they saw a lot less balloons out there than we normally do.

“Josh or Emily would go fishing with me and I’d talk about how many balloons we see and how most people don’t pick them up,” he continued. “I See NEARLY Page 31

Then you read about how the turtles eat them and the osprey use them to nest and the babies get tangled up in them, so we thought about how we could get people to pick them up and a contest competition seems to get people going.”

The first-place winner was the boat Top Dog, which collected 132 balloons overall. Second-place went to The Huntress with 52 balloons, and coming in third was Bills for Bills, with 51 balloons.

Despite being held primarily in the local area, participants from all over the country took part in the contest.

Balloons were gathered as far south as the Bahamas and the Gulf of Mexico, and up north in New York.

“We’ve also had people from the Gulf of Mexico asking about starting something down there, and people in New Jersey and New York were asking about it too,” Blume said. “I think we got a couple balloons from the Bahamas. They would tell my dad and we would [record] where they got them from, the boat name, and post it on our Facebook page.”

The Blumes held an awards ceremony for the top-three balloon collectors at the Ocean City Marlin Club, in West Ocean City, last Saturday. Two of the three winners attended and received their prizes, a bucket donated by Yeti, filled with various goods provided by local businesses throughout

Clarion hotel to host fourth Elvis festival next week

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Elvis has entered the building. In fact, 20 of the world’s best Elvis impersonators will gather at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street, next weekend.

The event returns to Ocean City next Thursday with performers hoping to be named the best Elvis. Tickets were still available as of Tuesday afternoon.

A cash prize of $5,000 will be split between the top-five finishers, and the first-place winner will earn an opportunity to represent Ocean City while competing for the title against winners of other preliminary contests at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, held during the 2019 Elvis Week in Memphis in August.

“This will be our fourth year in Ocean City,” Executive Producer Jason Sherry said. “We moved there after five years in Pennsylvania because the resort closed. We were looking for a reSee ELVIS Page 33

Worcester County.

“We started out with $100 cash prize and we would talk to a couple business friends I know and see if they want to donate anything,” Luke said.

“Then it just snowballed. We weren’t even looking and people were calling with donations. The local business community around here just really stepped up. It’s heartwarming.”

Prizes included a $150 gift card from Dockside Services, a boat detailing company, $100 gift cards from Optical Galleria, fishing lines and T-Shirts from Atlantic Tackle, gift cards for first,- second- and third-place from Paws and Claws, and Pittsville Motors donated a free oil change, tire rotation and interior detailing. MR Ducks, the Greene Turtle, Sunset Grille, Burbenders Knife Sharpening, Comcast, and several others also donated toward the

event.

Even though the contest has officially ended, the Blume siblings encourage boaters and fishermen to continue searching for balloons in the water.

The family also has advice for people who plan to use balloons during celebrations or other events.

“You could dispose of them in a different way,” Blume said. “You could pop them and throw them in the trash.

They don’t get into the ocean that way.”

The Blume siblings will appear before the Ocean City Council on Oct. 15 in recognition of their achievements.

An ordinance will also be introduced to discourage guests and residents from intentionally releasing balloons during events.

“They shouldn’t ban balloons, but I would just want to make it clear that

you shouldn’t release them,” Emily Blume said. “It’s still fun to have balloons at birthday parties, just don’t release them.”

“People can be more responsible and try not to let them go,” Luke Blume said. “If more people were aware they’d say, ‘Let’s pop this and put it in the trash,’ instead of letting them float away at the end of the day.”

The environmental support does not end there. The Blumes have created T-shirts, donated by Red Sun Apparel, and the funds from the sales will be donated to two organizations – the Mer Institute in Delaware and the Marathon Turtle Hospital. T-shirts cost $15.

To learn more about the operation, purchase a T-shirt or to join the balloon search, visit Blumes Balloon Roundup on Facebook.

Headlining this year’s festival will be Ultimate Elvis Tribute artists Ben Portsmouth, Dwight Icenhower and David Lee, and 2017 champion Brycen Katolinsky.

Award-winning Tribute Artist, Taylor Rodriguez, with Irv Cass and the Change of Habit tribute band will also take the stage.

At 9 p.m. next Thursday night, a welcome karaoke party will take place in the Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant inside the Clarion, hosted by Dan Barrella.

Next Friday and Saturday, audience members will see the first and second rounds of the contest. Each contestant will perform four songs both days. Half of the group will perform with tracks and the other half with the Change of Habit tribute band. The top 10 will advance to Sunday’s finals.

The competition begins at noon, Friday, Oct. 20, and 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21.

Friday’s 8 p.m. show will be Aloha from Ocean City, in tribute to Elvis’ album Aloha from Hawaii, which was recorded in the 1970’s. Saturday’s 7 p.m. show will be a tribute to Live in the Jungle Room, also recorded in the 1970’s.

Closing out Friday night’s festivities will be an auction in Horizons Oceanfront Restaurant with Barrella hosting.

Proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Next Saturday night, the annual “Spooktacular” Halloween Costume Ball will take place at 10 p.m.

“The performers dress up as Elvis all weekend, well Saturday night is when the fans get a chance to dress up,” Sherry said. “So, we all put on our costumes and have a big costume party in honor of Halloween.”

Next Sunday morning at 10 a.m. there will be an Elvis Gospel music event at the Clarion before 10 Elvis tribute artists take the stage at 1 p.m. for their final round of competition.

“If you’re an Elvis fan, and you’ve never been to a tribute event like this before, the difference of what we do is all of our performers in the headline shows are professional entertainers,” Sherry said. “We do Las Vegas-style tribute shows. There’s full concert lighting and full band on stage the whole weekend. It’s more of a genuine tribute heartfelt by the guys and the producers and the fans and helps Elvis fans relive a moment in their history that they’re not able to access any longer.”

A ‘That’s So Seventies’ wrap party will send off Elvis tribute artists at 7 p.m.

In addition to these activities, a memorial tribute to Ocean City’s own “Boardwalk Elvis,” who passed away earlier this summer, will also take place during the event. Details regarding the memorial were still being discussed as of earlier this week.

Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc., the company that controls the Presley estate and operates Graceland, is the proprietor of the event. In 2007, it started searching for the best representation of Elvis Presley and now the event is held annually.

In addition to Ocean City, Elvis festivals will be held in Brunswick, Geor-

gia; Lake George, New York; Las Vegas and Memphis this year.

Elvis merchandise will be available, from official festival T-shirts to key chains. In addition, CDs, DVDs and other collectibles will be available as well.

A limited number of passes are available for the event, which start at $50 for individual shows and $139 for weekend passes. Hotel and ticket packages are also available.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Walker discusses mascarpone and cream cheese

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Oct. 12 2018) Choices are a daily occurrence and it is up to the individual to decide the path of direction.

The smallest subtleties can make the biggest differences and it is these details that are the focus of today’s discussion.

Mascarpone and cream cheese are both classified as fresh cheese and are sometimes used interchangeably.

However, an experienced chef knows they have differences in terms of texture, taste and forms of consumption. Let us delve into specifics for absolute clarity.

Mascarpone, (pronounced mahs-carPOH-nay), is a rich, creamy cheese made from cow’s milk that originated from the Lombardy region in Italy.

Girl Scouts invited to event, Sun.

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) Ocean Pines resident Anna Foultz, reportedly the oldest active Girl Scout in the United States, is inviting new and potential scouts to attend an educational event, Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Fire Station.

Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey and a representative from the fire department are scheduled to provide a briefing for scouts and help them earn a health and safety patch.

“It’s just going to be basically about safety and when you see something to call the police – when you should call, when you should let your parents know about something suspicious,” Massey said. “And then we’ll also talk about bicycle safety and just general safety things.”

Massey said the event is a natural fit for him.

“I have two daughters that were in Girl Scouts,” he said. “We want to be a good partner in our community with both kids and adults alike.”

Foultz said the event would double as a recruiting tool for potential scouts and new scout leaders, adding there is money available for those who cannot afford costs associated with joining the Girl Scouts.

“Any girl in our area who would like to come to the event, please let them come, because maybe they will be a Girl Scout,” Foultz said. “And, also, leaders. If there’s any volunteer leaders who would

like to come, they are welcome. But, I have to know how many are coming.”

There is no fee to attend. To register, contact Foultz at 410-641-7667 before Friday, Oct. 12.

Foultz, now in her early nineties, became a Girl Scout when her daughter showed interest.

“My oldest daughter, Betty Anne, she went to school and all the girls were joining Girl Scouts, and she kept pestering me and saying she wanted to become a Girl Scout. I said, ‘What in the world is a Girl Scout?’” Foultz said.

After talking to a local scout leader, Foultz decided to pitch in.

“She came the next day with boxes and boxes of stuff. I thought I would die!” Foultz said with a laugh. “In my first troop, I had 30 girls, can you believe it? That’s how desperate they were.

“But I loved working and helping the

girls all those years, and I learned a lot too because I was very shy when I was young,” she added.

In the decades since, Foultz has been an advocate for the organization, a national nonprofit that has approximately 2.6 million members.

“I think it’s a wonderful program and it does a lot of good. It teaches the girls a lot of things that you don’t get at home,” she said. “Parents are so busy working they don’t have time to teach their kids anything. They’re on their own, most of them. You’d be surprised how many people I’ve helped during my lifetime because the parents are so busy – they don’t tell them about themselves and how to become self reliant.

“My heart is in it and I guess I’ll die with the Girl Scouts,” Foultz continued.

“My husband used to say, ‘You’re going to die with the uniform on!’”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Pumpkin-pecan gingersnap parfait recipe Continued from Page 35 cream. Mascarpone also contains 50 percent fat. On the other hand, cream cheese has a slightly sour and salty taste and contains only 33 percent fat.

Mascarpone can be added to pasta, sauces and desserts. In desserts, it can be used in tiramisu, sweet tarts, or pies.

Cream cheese can be eaten as fillings in bagels or used as a frosting on cakes.

If one is a perfectionist, you really do not want to substitute cream cheese for mascarpone.

However, if you cannot find mascarpone, Miranda Knight has a solution.

She suggests allowing the cream cheese to come to room temperature. Mix cream cheese with heavy whipping cream or sour cream; use ¼ cup per 8 ounces of cream cheese.

Opening day of the Howard CountyIron Bridge Hounds fox hunt is only a few weeks away. This annual event takes place at my parent’s estate, Harwood.

To this day, our butternut squash parfait is one of the most popular dishes.

It consists of pureed butternut squash that is seasoned to taste like pumpkin pie mousse. The butternut squash mixture is then topped with whipped cream, toasted pecans and candied ginger.

There is a possibility the fox hunt may be televised and I am considering changing the recipe to a pumpkin-pecan gingersnap parfait. The base of the dessert would consist of pumpkin and butternut squash whereas the original dessert contains only butternut squash.

The other major difference is I would cook the filling and add egg yolks, milk

and cornstarch. This process will yield a smoother, creamier consistency.

Presentation is up to the individual.

Take into consideration your personal style, the amount of people you are serving and if the event is going to be inside or outside.

Parfait glasses would be an obvious and good choice. If you do not have parfait glasses, martini glasses are perfectly acceptable.

At the fox hunt, we use small paper cups because of the large amount of people we are serving and the event is outside.

Pumpkin, pecans and gingersnaps are a perfect pairing for the fall. Butternut squash and crystalized ginger reinforce the theme of autumn and give the dish depth of flavor. Pumpkin-pecan gingersnap parfait is delicious and a de-

Pumpkin-Pecan Gingersnap Parfait

Ingredients 3 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin 2 tablespoon cold water 6 large egg yolks ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 1 ½ cups sugar 1-quart whole milk one (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree 2 cups pureed butternut squash 2 tablespoons vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ½ teaspoon each ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves 2 cups mascarpone 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 ½ cups chopped pecans 1 ½ cups crushed ginger snaps 1/8 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger 3 tablespoons light brown sugar Reddi wip topping 6 to 8 chilled parfait or martini glasses (depending on size) 1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the water and let stand for 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the yolks, cornstarch, salt and sugar until the sugar is moistened.

3. In a large saucepan, heat the milk just until steaming. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk into the yolk mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the milk in the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until boiling and thick, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the pumpkin and butternut squash puree and mix thoroughly.

Off the stove, whisk in gelatin, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves.

Using a hand-held mixer, mix until everything is thoroughly blended. Refrigerate overnight; this allows everything to set.

4. Day of serving – In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat.

Cook pecans, ginger snaps, crystallized ginger and brown sugar until crispy. Remove pan from stove, place crumble on a baking sheet and allow to cool.

5. For the presentation – Wet parfait or martini glasses and carefully place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove glasses from the freezer. Place a small amount of ginger snap crumble in the base of the serving dish.

Add a layer of whipped cream, followed by the pumpkin/butternut squash mixture. Continue this process until the serving glass is filled. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ginger snap crumble. Repeat this process for the remaining glasses.

Remember, height is the first thing one notices in the art of presentation.

Secret Ingredient – Individuality.

“Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse. Mediocrity finds safety in standardization.”

– Frederick E. Crane

Craig publishes ‘Red Rivers in a Yellow Field’ book

(Oct. 12, 2018) Robert M. Craig, a Vietnam veteran who has called Ocean City his summer home for over seven decades, has just published a book of memoirs of the Vietnam era entitled “Red Rivers in a Yellow Field.”

The book documents the experiences Robert M. Craig of 34 military veterans, including Craig, who served in the 1960s and who, 50 years later, document their stories in this new collection.

Authors served aboard ships in the Tonkin Gulf, led platoons in Vietnam, flew missions over North Vietnam, or operated swift boats in the Mekong Delta. The accounts are moving, sometimes humorous, but always true life events that represent a slice of the American experience during the Vietnam era. These were the “children of the greatest generation.”

Dr. Craig is the son of the late Captain Robert S. Craig who served as captain of the Ocean City Beach Patrol from 1935-1986. Throughout his 52 years of service to the Town of Ocean City, Captain Craig mentored young men and women, taught them values such as responsibility and service, and molded the Ocean City Beach Patrol into what it is today.

Captain Craig’s two sons, and his grandson were members of the beach patrol during the early 1960s and 1990s.

Captain Craig’s son and namesake is an architectural historian and Professor Emeritus of the architecture school at Georgia Tech. From 19681970, the younger Craig served in the U.S. Navy as a supply officer on USS Intrepid (CVS-11), an aircraft carrier now docked at the 46th Street pier 86 in New York City.

The ship is now a national historic landmark and has been converted to

the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum.

Following his military service, Craig received a Ph.D. from Cornell University (1973) and taught courses in the history of architecture, graduating his most recent doctoral student in 2017.

Dr. Craig has published eight books (mostly historical studies of architecture), has presented more than 160 academic papers at professional societies across the U.S., and has lectured in China, Australia, Canada, France, and as guest lecturer in several universities in this country.

Dr. Craig’s illustrated talk on the new Vietnam book will be presented at two venues in the Ocean City area.

He will visit the American Legion Post 166 Hall, 2308 Philadelphia Ave, in Ocean City, at 4 p.m. on Oct. 15.

He will be at the Ocean Pines Branch, Worcester County Library, 11107 Cathell Road in Berlin, near Ocean Pines, at 2 p.m. on Oct. 18.

At both events books will be available for sale (and signing for those interested in author-signed copies).

Cash or check, but no credit cards, will be accepted. Proceeds from book sales will benefit the Principia School where Captain Craig taught Latin and math during the winter months.

Join fine artist Karen McLain to paint Assateague’s land, sea and skyscapes. Emphasis will be on creating strong shapes from quick sketches, capturing vivid color and the value of using a limited palette.

The cost is $125.

Painting Wild Horses from Life Plein Air Workshop will take place, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 27-28, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Join McLain to discover and practice techniques for painting horses quickly and fluidly from life while coping with the problems inherent in painting outdoors.

Details and registration can be found on Assateague Island Alliance’s Facebook page and online store http://shop.assateagueislandalliance.org/main.sc.

Owners and managers of the Residence Inn by Marriott on 61st Street in Ocean City receive a governor’s citation during a ribbon-cutting ceremony and official grand-opening event at the hotel on Thursday, Oct. 4.

Residence Inn by Marriott officially open on 61st St.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the Residence Inn

by Marriott on 61st Street on Thursday, Oct. 4, to celebrate its grand opening.

The 150-room, 164,000-square-foot hotel opened its doors on April 30. The eight-floor facility features amenities such as an indoor pool, gym, restaurant, conference room, two bars, a buffet breakfast service, fire pit and wireless internet access.

Other services include fully furnished kitchens, car rentals, laundry services and a dry cleaning service.

A public space is available on the second floor, which also includes the buffet service as well as one of the bars.

“This hotel is totally unique for the Marriott Residence Inn brand,” Coowner Barry Gosnell said. “There’s no other like it. The design is a bit different in many ways. Some things are still consistent with the brand, but there’s a number of features like the public area and all the features that you just don’t find anywhere else.”

The Residence Inn sits right next to

the Route 90 bridge, and is in close proximity to several restaurants and is a short walk away from the ocean.

“We thought this was a great location. It had been eyed by a lot of people for a long time, but it took a long time for someone to put a hotel on this spot,” Co-owner Rich Palmer said.

“What really surprised us [is that] until we were in this building under construction we really didn’t appreciate the spectacular views, particularly the views of the bay.

“Depends on where you are you can see a sunrise and sunset from a lot of the rooms,” he continued. “It really surprised us to see how spectacular it was.”

The ceremony included words from Sen. Jim Mathias and Del. Mary Beth Carozza.

“We’re appreciative of everybody in Ocean City that’s helped us get through all the roadblocks,” Gosnell said.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) Finding a home online has become as easy as a few clicks, and there are many websites that offer similar property information.

But, all of the real estate property websites are not created equal.

And, you wouldn’t want to browse property sites that show old listings or outdated information.

To make sure you aren’t browsing old listings on some of the popular property websites, it’s recommended to get the latest listings from realtor.com, which pulls its information every 15 minutes from our area’s Bright Multiple List (MLS) regional database where real estate agents post listings for sale.

That means that realtor.com’s listings are more accurate than some others, like Zillow and Trulia, which may update less often.

There are other property listing sites as well, including Redfin, which is a brokerage and therefore also relies on relationships with brokers and MLSs for listings. And, Zillow is also starting to dabble in brokerage services.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but real estate photos are also carefully staged and managed. It’s natural to focus on photos while browsing, but make sure to also consider the property description and other key features.

Each realtor.com listing, for example, has a “property details” section that may specify important information such as the year the home was built, price per square foot, and how many days the property has been on the market.

If you are looking to dig deeper into a community’s info, consider these sources: • School ratings: Data from GreatSchools.org and the National Center for Education Statistics, and the school district’s website • Crime rates and statistics: CrimeReports.com and the local police station • Walkability and public transportation: WalkScore.com and APTA.co m • Hospital ratings: HealthInsight.org, LeapfrogGroup.org, and U.S. News and World Report rankings – Lauren Bunting is an Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

New ‘Pain Rehabilitation Program’ available at AGH

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) A new “Pain Rehabilitation Program” at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin hopes to make life better for patients suffering from chronic pain.

According to the National Institutes of Health, chronic pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. It is a leading cause of disability and accounts for a significant portion of healthcare costs.

Anesthesiology and pain management specialist Dr. Wadid Y. Zaky leads the program, which is offered through the Atlantic General Hospital Pain Center.

“It is a two-week program, where specific patients with chronic pain problems are selected to join,” Zaky said. “It usually starts at about 8:30 in the morning [and runs until] 3:30 in the afternoon. A group of patients comes in every day … and they have different types of services offered and provided to them over a twoweek period, Monday to Friday.”

During the program, Zaky said, patients receive specific education on chronic pain issues, along with physical therapy, psychology treatments and lectures, one-on-one consults, nutritional services, and meetings with sleep specialists on “how to control your chronic pain through better sleep.”

Chrissy Ehrhart, owner of Zenna Well-

ness Studio in Berlin, recently announced in a Facebook post she was hired to join the Pain Rehabilitation Program team.

“The program is designed to take patients through a two-week program of holistic integrative and complementary services to reduce the need for pain meds,” Ehrhart said. “Through PHOTO COURTESY CHRISSY EHRHART education and my own personal history living with Ehlers Dalnos Syn- Chrissy Ehrhart, right, of Zenna Wellness Studio in drome (a connective tissue disorder) Berlin announced she will join the team of a new and three heart conditions, I have used “Pain Rehabilitation Program” at Atlantic General Hospital.

Residence Inn by Marriott features several amenities Continued from Page 46 through all that, and we’ve been very persistent.”

Guests can choose to stay in one of two studio-style suites, either with two queen beds or a single king size bed, or a single bedroom suite, all of which feature a bayside view.

According to Gosnell, the summer season went very well for the hotel.

“We’ve had a pretty busy summer, which is why we didn’t want to do the grand opening in the summer time,” Gosnell said. “It’s been pretty busy since then … thanks in large part to the various events Ocean City has to drum up business.

“We’re hoping it continues to grow and as we learn the market and Ocean City better,” he continued. “There’s all sorts of people that work with us and it’s a learning curve to get up to speed. We hope to offer a few more enhances and take advantage of the amenities we already have like the outdoor pool and other features, and just kind of refine our craft.”

Pets are welcome and the hotel holds a smoke-free policy. Check in is at 4 p.m. and check out is at 11 a.m.

Atlantic General Bariatric Center accredited facility

(Oct. 12, 2018) Patients seeking surgical treatment for severe obesity and its related conditions have a high-quality choice for receiving treatment at a nationally accredited program that meets the highest standards for patient safety and quality of care on the Eastern Shore.

Atlantic General Hospital announced Atlantic General Bariatric Center has been accredited as a Center of Excellence under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP), a joint program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).

The center was originally accredited in August of 2015.

The MBSAQIP Standards, outlined in the Resources for Optimal Care of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Patient 2016 ensure that bariatric surgical patients receive a multidisciplinary program, not just a surgical procedure, which improves patient outcomes and long-term success.

The accredited center offers preoperative and postoperative care designed specifically for their severely obese patients.

“We’re very honored to have received this designation. Our team is very deserving of this accolade as they strive each day to provide patients with the level of quality care they deserve in a safe, caring environment,” said Dr. Alae Zarif, medical director of Surgical Services at Atlantic General Bariatric Center.

Atlantic General Bariatric Center’s commitment to quality care begins with appropriately trained staff and the leadership of surgeons who participate in meetings throughout the year to review its outcomes. They seek continuous improvement to enhance the structure, process and outcomes of the center.

To earn the MBSAQIP designation, the bariatric center met essential criteria for staffing, training and facility infrastructure and protocols for care, ensuring its ability to support patients with severe obesity.

The center also participates in a national data registry that yields semiannual reports on the quality of its processes and outcomes, identifying opportunities for continuous quality improvement.

Centers seeking MBSAQIP Accreditation undergo an extensive site visit by an experienced bariatric surgeon, who reviews the center’s structure, process, and clinical outcomes data.

In the United States, around 15.5 million people suffer from severe obesity, according to the National Institutes of Health, and the numbers continue to increase.

For more information, visit www.atlanticgeneral.org. To make an appointment, call 410-641-9568.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Continued from Page 48 Race Track Road, is deeply rooted in the history of Worcester County.

Bluebird Farms, with the assistance of the Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce, will facilitate the ribbon-cutting.

The public is invited to tour the property on Oct. 17 from 5-7 p.m. to enjoy locally grown produce, annual flowers and perennial plants. The event will also feature family activities, including pumpkin painting, arts and crafts, a bonfire, food and drinks.

Sauters support AGH campaign

(Oct. 12, 2018) Gary and Pat Sauter donated $10,000 toward the Atlantic General Campaign for the Future this September in honor of their daughter, Aimee.

Aimee Sauter Delaney has been battling stage IV colorectal cancer and is currently in remission. Throughout her journey battling cancer, she has been treated at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center in Baltimore.

“We are grateful that Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center is now affiliated with the University of Maryland Cancer Center,” Gary Sauter said. “There is no longer any need to cross the bridge for first-rate cancer care. Our family is proud to support the John H. ‘Jack’ Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center and the Atlantic General Hospital Campaign for the Future.”

The funds raised during the $10 million Atlantic General Campaign for the Future will allow Atlantic General Hospital to complete $35 million in capital projects.

Among them is completion of a new 18,000-square-foot full service cancer care center and of the women’s health center in West Ocean City, renovation of existing surgical facilities and expansion of emergency services within Atlantic General Hospital as well as improvements to inpatient care areas. To date, the Foundation has already secured over

$6,238,000 of the $10 million goal in pledges, commitments and grants.

Atlantic General Hospital has been providing quality health care to the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties in Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware, since May 1993.

Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospital’s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin combines personal attention with the latest in technology and services.

It provides quality specialty care such

as weight loss surgery, orthopedics, outpatient infusion and chemotherapy for individuals with cancer or blood/autoimmune disorders and a comprehensive Women’s Diagnostic Center.

Atlantic General Health System, a network of more than 40 primary care providers and specialists associated with AGH, cares for residents and visitors throughout the region.

NOTICE OF REFERENDUM UNION BINDING INTEREST ARBITRATION A Union Referendum Petition was filed with the City Clerk’s Office on March 2, 2017. On April 25, 2017, the Board of Supervisors of Election reported the number of Petition signatures surpassed the required

OCTOBER 12, 2018 twenty percent of registered voters.

On June 19, 2017, the Mayor and Council chose to schedule the Union Referendum Question for the next regular municipal general election.

Therefore, the Union Referendum Question shall be included on the November 6, 2018, Municipal Election Ballot.

A fair summary of said question is that Section C-1003(C) of the Town Charter will be amended to allow Town employees who are represented by the Union for certain employees of the emergency medical services division of the Ocean City Department of Emergency Services, and the Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Department, to have binding interest arbitration by an outside arbitrator in collective bargaining matters where the Union and the Town are in disagreement. Binding interest arbitration is defined as the process through which parties negotiating a collective bargaining agreement upon reaching any impasse on one or more terms, call upon a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve the impasse and create the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both parties are thereafter bound.

A vote for the Union Referendum Question supports allowing a single person acting as an outside third party to resolve an impasse in labor negotiations between the Town and the union by creating the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to which both sides are thereafter bound.

Voting against the Union Referendum Question maintains that Town and Union collective bargaining impasses will continue to be resolved by your elected officials and not by a single person acting as an outside third party.

This Notice is required by state law.

Commentary

Transparency an issue with county

Maybe the decision required a vote and maybe it didn’t, but however the Worcester County Commissioners agreed last month to waive the fines against Deer Run Jeep Golf for sediment control and erosion violations, they won’t discuss it.

Further, there’s no record of a vote or agreement in the minutes of the Sept. 18 meeting, when the discussion took place, possibly and incorrectly, in an executive session. Either that, or they talked among themselves informally and just said no to the county Department of Environmental Program’s findings.

The concern is not whether Deer Run should or shouldn’t have been fined, or even whether the commissioners’ vote (if there was one) is a rebuke of the department itself. The disturbing aspect of this exercise is that the commissioners made their decision privately and won’t acknowledge that they did anything at all.

Even more curious is that their refusal to record this action on the public record defies not just the state’s open meetings law, but basic common sense. After all, the parties involved in this land use consideration had to be notified of the fine waiver, which they were in a Sept. 20 letter from the county that said the commissioners had agreed that action at their Sept. 18 session.

Further, Deer Run publicly thanked them for this accommodation on its Facebook page.

The obvious question, then, is why officials wanted this handled out of the public view. Was it to shield the department from the embarrassment of having its fines thrown out? Was it because some members of the county board wanted to avoid criticism going into the November election? Was it because they were throwing state environmental laws out the window?

Or was it because the commissioners sometimes do business informally and out of the public’s view because they believe they can?

What they did or didn’t do for Deer Run is beside the point.

How they did it is the basis of our complaint filed this week with the state’s Open Meetings Compliance board. Perhaps we’ll get some answers, but even if we don’t, the public has the right to know.

Living forever is possible

In perusing one of the daily papers recently, I found myself wondering how we came to believe, apparently, that we would live forever if modern medicine could just get its act together and fix whatever ails us.

As evidence of this, there is the August obituary of Rosa Bouglione, of Paris, who died at 107 years of age, after helping to found one of the world’s greatest circus dynasties: “Rosa Bouglione … the By queen of the big top for more Stewart than eight decades, died Aug. Dobson 26 at her home in Paris. She was 107. No cause of death was given.”

It’s just a guess, and even though my medical knowledge is limited to taking whatever pill it is that keeps my veins from becoming like the storm drains around here and filling up with sediment, but it could just be that Madame Bouglione might have died of …

BEING ONE HUNDRED SEVEN YEARS OLD! I mean, the cause-of-death hangup here seems to suggest that if medical research was just a tad more advanced, she might have lived to 108 or 208 or even 508, except for some nagging little ailment that sent her swinging up to the Great Trapeze in the Sky. And it’s not just Ms. Rosa either, I discovered, as I looked at various other obituaries

for notable oldies.

One I spotted on the same page was about a 91-year-old woman “whose cause of death was not disclosed.” How about being 91 as a contributing factor?

After all, if age is not one of the accepted reasons for our expiration — and we’re not born with some variation of the ubiquitous consumer advisory stamp that says, “This body is best used by …” then we would simply go on and on until we died of …

“Billy Bob Simplex, age 239, died Tuesday of an acute attack of boredom at his home in Hogjowl, Maryland.

Family members said his last words were, “I’ve been watching ‘Wheel of Fortune’ reruns for so long, I know exactly which dang vowel to buy” and then dropped dead on the spot.

“The family rejected the suggestion by medical researchers that he might have made it to an even 240 if he hadn’t been sitting so close to the TV.” It’s conceivable — to some, apparently — that he could have done much better than a mere 240, if only we could eliminate all those other nasty little unspecified causes that get in the way of our beating Methuselah’s alltime record of 969.

Even in that case, it’s a fact that religious scholars continue to search for clues about how and why he moved on to the great beyond.

So far, all they know is, “Methuselah, 969, died just before the Great Flood. No cause of death was given.”

Letters Atlantic City got cherries ‘and we got the pits’

Editor, Well, well, well, the low riding cretins came to our fair city, stared us in the eye and we blinked! It’s our city and we blinked.

They were supposed to be in New Jersey, but as we found out, Atlantic City got the cherries and we got the pits.

Buckle up my brothers from different mothers, it’s time for the dreaded Velvet Hammer. And war.

First, we alert the 7,500 full time denizens that Coastal Highway will have one, yes that is spelled o-n-e lane south and one lane north.

(That whacking sound was the hammer). This excludes the two bus lanes.

Inconvenience, of course, annoyance for sure. With enough advanced notice, people will take the bus for these days (of course, the mayor will graciously waive the bus fares during this time.)

Drastic maybe, but think of the cretins sitting in gridlock and you whizzing by.

Thanks for another successful Home Tour

Editor, On behalf of the Art League of Ocean City, thank you to everyone who made this year’s 14th Annual Sand Castle Home Tour and Party a huge success.

The proceeds from this yearly event continue to provide sustaining funds to support our nonprofit mission of promoting artistic expression and appreciation for the creative arts in our community, and help to keep the Ocean City Center for the Arts free and open to the public.

The tour showcases the many beautiful residential communities in our area, as well as the builders, decorators, contractors, restaurants, and others who provide amenities that support our local economy and the arts.

We would like to thank Maryland’s First Lady, Yumi Hogan, for being

our 2018 honorary chairperson.

Our gratitude also goes out to the gracious homeowners who opened their doors for the tour: the Foelber, Ebersole, Coffin, Corey, Fuchsluger, Craig, Brous, Correa, Smith, and Dypsky families.

Thank you, as well to our Home Tour committee members — Mary Ellen Rosenblit, Ryan Wilde, Karen Hunter West, Nancy Fortney, Marian Bickerstaff, Eileen Salafia, Sheila Harding, Emmy Challenger, and Linda Kessinger — who worked many months to coordinate the tour.

This year’s kick-off “pARTy of the Year,” themed “Art-a-Ritaville,” was an evening to celebrate the arts. We are grateful to Tony Deluca and the Gateway Grand for allowing us to hold it in their beautiful facility.

Our gratitude also goes out to our dedicated committee of Cindy Leiner, Kari Berger, Jamie Albright, Sandy Gillis, Marsha Howarth, Rebecca Galyon, Cheryl Taustin, Nadine Wieder, Gayle Widdowson, Jennifer Klepper, Jan Perdue, and Eileen Stamnas.

AAA: syncing phones to cars could lead to identity theft

(Oct. 12, 2018) It was bound to happen, but with so many news stories about privacy and security, drivers are now being advised to be aware of the risks that come with syncing their phones to their vehicles.

The AAA this week likened syncing phones with car computers to leave your Social Security card on a park bench or dropping off your smart phone in an airport terminal and walking away.

Although the phone-car connection might be a convenient way to link to the vehicle’s infotainment system, the AAA says the infotainment system may store personal information kept on your phone.

“Drivers need to be prudent about their personal information; this goes beyond identity theft into the realm of personal safety,” said Ragina Cooper Averella, public and government affairs manager at AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Every car system is different, and prior to syncing a device to a vehicle, motorists need to be aware of the risks.”

The stored information is vulnerable to theft. If you trade in your car, sync your phone to a rental car, or hand your keys to a valet, you open yourself up to having your personal information stolen. It is possible for an unauthorized person to gain access to your home address and access your garage door opener.

There are no industry or government standards for vehicle infotain-

ment systems, but here are some general guidelines: • Know the type of information that your infotainment system may be storing: • Home address, work address, and other saved or frequently used GPS locations.

• Your home phone number • Your call and message logs • Personal contacts • Text messages • Garage opener programming • Know what you can do to protect your information: check your phone’s permissions to learn what information your car can access. When syncing your phone, if your infotainment system allows you to choose which types of information you share, restrict it to what’s necessary. For instance, if you’re only syncing your phone to play music, the car only needs to access your music library, not your personal contacts.

• Before handing your keys over to a valet, check to see if your car has a Valet Mode you can set the infotainment system to that will protect your sensitive data.

• Before trading in your car or returning a rental car, go to the settings menu on the car’s infotainment system to find a list of synced devices.

When you find your devices, follow the prompts to delete them. If you can’t figure out how to do this, check the owner’s manual or an online tutorial.

Letters to the editor Continued from Page 58 Flowers by Alison, Ocean Greenery, Ocean City Florist, Beached Butterfly, Barefoot Gardeners, Alison to the Altar, Encore Events, Ocean Pines Garden Club, and Worcester County Garden Club.

We are grateful to all of the artists who painted the fabulous home portraits: Jim Adcock, Nancy Ellen Thompson, Robin Foreman, Kathy Bohs, Rebecca Simonds, Sandy Glassman, Jill Glassman, Ellie Scott, Gerilyn Gaskill, and Tinsel Hughes.

Thank you as well to Atlantic General Hospital for the blue booties, and Blue Water Development for the tour bags.

Our appreciation goes out to our valued media partners — Ocean City Today, Maryland Coast Dispatch, Coastal Style Magazine, Metropolitan Magazine, and Delmarva Public Radio — and to the 50 local businesses that advertised in the tour book.

We thank the restaurants that provided gift certificates for our raffle: The Hobbit, Hooked, Rare & Rye, the Bonfire, Marlin Moon, Liquid Assets, The Victorian Room at the Dunes Manor, Blu Crabhouse/ Madfish, Captain’s Table, and Evo/Sobo’s.

It truly takes a village to run this event, and we are so grateful to the over 165 volunteers who worked as docents during the tour. Many return to help each year, and some are representatives from other nonprofits in the area.

Finally, to the almost 1,000 people who took the tour, thank you for coming! We hope you enjoyed the beautiful residences of our area and look forward to seeing you at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th street, and in 2019 for the 15th annual Sand Castle Home Tour, Sept.

20-21.

City seeks state help with car event control Continued from Page 1 however, that the resort’s enhanced traffic control methods worked well when hundreds of modified imported cars descended on Ocean City the last weekend in September.

“Last year was worse in many aspects than this year,” Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro reported.

“We saw tremendous numbers this year, but last year was more challenging.”

While traffic stops by police dropped from more than 1,200 in 2017 to just over 830 this year, Buzzuro said there was a corresponding rise in citations, which totaled 1,280 this year versus 858 in 2017.

“We tried to prioritize and seek out those that were most disruptive,” he said.

Aided by the new special event zone law that lowered the speed limit to 30 mph and raised fines for violators, police set a five-year record in tickets written over the four-day weekend, while warnings were down significantly.

“Virtually everyone in a vehicle was not only given one citation, but in certain cases more than one, and we also issued about 500 less warnings,” he said.

Buzzuro said his department and allied law enforcement agencies

wrote more than 2,000 traffic citations over that weekend.

“The … true issue is driving, negligent and reckless, spinning tires and speed,” he said.

Councilman Dennis Dare said despite a heavy police presence, and the issue of costly traffic citations, the car tuner subculture was not deterred from “sending it,” to Ocean City.

“There’s room for even more enforcement if we’re going to turn the tide,” he said. “How do we get more assistance from the state?”

Meehan said in addition to convening the Motor Events Task Force to review this fall’s activity, the city should also communicate these concerns directly to Hogan.

“If the chief would concur … we will ask the governor for additional support during H2Oi, stressing that it is an unsanctioned event,” he said.

The actual H2Oi rally took place in Atlantic City this year, but its name locally has become synonymous with the non-participating imported cars that created havoc on its periphery in the last few years.

“If we could improve a method of control … I just think we need more officers,” Meehan said.

Dare noted that before the General Assembly passed the special event zone law this year, it killed some of its harsher penalties.

“Maybe we can add that back in,” he said.

Meehan said the legislature is expected to reexamine the bill when it convenes after the first of the year.

Although the city has long worked with Maryland State Police, Meehan proposed writing to Hogan and asking for more troopers.

The Police Commission voted to recommend that approach to the City Council.

After confirming that Buzzuro agreed, Meehan said he anticipates the state will be responsive to the request.

“You can’t keep everything from happening, but you need to be prepared to mitigate,” he said. “We’ve done everything we can do with the resources that we have.”

Mayor Dorman: ‘It’s just about time’ Continued from Page 1 qualified person to serve until the next regular election.

to the next scheduled election, May 7, 2019. The winning candidate will serve for one year until the next scheduled mayor’s election in 2020.

The 2019 election will also include the council seats for Western and Central districts currently occupied

by LaToya Purnell and Jenny Hall, respectively. Alison Cook, who represents the Eastern District, was re-

elected without opposition earlier this year.

It appears likely one of the councilwomen will be appointed during the interim.

“I have no problem with who they appoint,” Dorman said. “I think there’s a couple good people that are very, very good for the town … that are sitting on the council.”

Car show organizers remember ‘Candyman’

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) While hundreds of people gathered in Berlin and thousands traveled to Ocean City last weekend for dueling classic car events, one vehicle and one longtime attendee was noticeably absent at both: Bud “Candyman” Morley and his bright red 1948 Ford Flathead V8.

Morley died on Sept. 28 at Atlantic General Hospital.

Born in Louisville County, Kentucky, Morley served in the U.S. Air Force National Guard and worked at Bethlehem Steel as a millwright.

Locally, he was known as the friendly “Candyman” who always had treats for children during Cruisin’ Ocean City and the Berlin Cruisers car shows.

Organizers of both events commemorated Morley over the weekend.

In Ocean City, Tucker Ellis put a bowl of candy next to his car, along with a sign honoring his friend. He’d known Morley for about a decade.

“We met him because we’d joined the Ocean City Cruisers and he was a member. He was the first one that really befriended us,” Ellis said. “We lived in Delmar then, so we knew nobody over here.

of people that weren’t even in the club knew him,” he continued. “So many people stopped by [over the weekend] and said they knew him from seeing him at car shows and were saying what a great guy he was,

ELDER LAW:

and how outgoing and friendly he was.”

In Berlin, a space was left open in front of the Church Mouse thrift shop to remember Morley.

“For the last several years, Candy-

man’s Ford was parked in front of the Church Mouse and he always made sure he brought candy,” said Helen Wiley, who oversees the Church Moused. “He made everybody smile and laugh, and was friendly and warm. He just meant a great deal to a lot of people by spreading kindness and love to the community. We’re going to really miss him.”

Mike Wiley called Morley “a real institution” of the local auto shows.

“I always enjoyed talking with him,” Wiley said. “He had a lot of followers all over, not just in Berlin, but in Ocean Pines and definitely at Ocean City Cruisers. He’ll be missed and we’re going to have a parking place reserved for him, we hope, forever. And we’re going to hand out candy in his honor.”

Bill Hoshal, a longtime volunteer, said everyone enjoyed seeing Morley.

“We had his spot reserved and it was always just an area where no one else could go,” he said. “We looked forward to him being here, and he would always talk to everybody and make everybody laugh, so he will be dearly missed.”

Tanja Giles, who chairs Berlin Cruisers, said Morley “brought a lot of smiles” to the event.

“He was an icon and will be greatly missed,” Giles said.

NPS completes wild horse census on Assateague Is.

(Oct. 12, 2018) The National Park Service has completed its September 2018 population census of the wild horses on Assateague Island.

The total population of the Maryland herd is currently at 79 horses, including 21 stallions and 58 mares.

The third foal of the year, colt N6BMT-FQ, was born in September to N6BMT-F “Jojo.”

The National Park Service completes a full census of the horse population in Maryland six times per year, in February, March, May, July, September and November.

Managed as a wildlife population, the Assateague horses are free to roam over approximately 27 miles of the barrier island and can be difficult to find at times.

During each census, horses are identified by their distinguishing characteristics, mapped and counted.

Individual horses that are not observed during multiple census periods are presumed dead.

In addition to the census, the National Park Service has initiated a new genetic study that will develop updated, more detailed information describing the genetic status and condition of the horse herd in support of the long term fertility control program that was initiated in 1994.

MCBP requests public feedback

(Oct. 12, 2018) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program has received a draft of a climate change vulnerability assessment of the program’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan and is seeking public review and comments.

The report was prepared by the University of Maryland Sea Grant Extension Regional Watershed Restoration Specialist Jennifer Dindinger and includes consensus among management and others about how climate change will affect the organization’s ability to carry out the CCMP. A portion of MCBP’s management plan includes goals for climate change vulnerabilities in the local watershed.

This assessment is to identify and prioritize risks that could limit MCBP’s ability to reach these goals.

MCBP is one of 28 members of the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuary Programs in the country.

In 2017, MCBP undertook the first five steps of EPA’s “Being Prepared for Climate Change; A Workbook for Developing Risk-Based Adaptation Plans.”

One of the required steps for becoming a “Climate Ready Estuary” is to use the workbook to develop“ a broad, riskbased adaption plan.”

The plan would involve exploring opportunities and constraints that influence what MCBP choses to tackle; developing partnerships to help address risks, deciding on a path of mitigation, transfer, acceptance, or avoidance of each risk; developing a list of possible adaptation actions to assess further; selecting actions for implementation; and developing a plan that shows risk reduction over time as a result of implementing adaptation actions.

A copy of this report is available online at www.mdcoastalbays.org.

Contact Steve Farr at sfarr@mdcoastalbays.org or by calling 410-2132297 ext. 105 with any comments, suggestions or questions related to this report no later than Oct. 19.

Maryland Coastal Bays Program is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the bays behind Ocean City and Assateague Island and its watersheds.

WORLD WAR II

German Wehrmacht occupies Sudetenland PM Sir Neville Chamberlain believed incident was move toward ‘peace for our time’

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) This week, 80 years ago, the German Wehrmacht occupied the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. Adolf Hitler said, “Thus we begin our march into the great German future.”

The problem of the Sudetenland, and its German inhabitants, had been bedeviling Europe for more than a year. But, now, Europe heaved a collective sigh of relief, with most thinking, as British Prime Minister Sir Neville Chamberlain said, that it was “... peace for our time.”

What those people were ignoring was everything that der Führer had said, and written, previously. This included the need for German Lebensraum or “living space” and his intent to undo the hated, onerous Treaty of Versailles, which had, in addition to imposing crushing reparations payments on Germany: (1) taken the German City of Memel and given it to Lithuania; (2) made the German Port of Danzig on the Baltic a “free city”; and (3) given Poland access to the Baltic Sea and thereby divided Germany into two, noncontagious, parts.

Within the year, the German Wehrmacht would be addressing these “issues.”

Czechoslovakia had not existed prior to 1919. It had been a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a result of the Treaties of St. Germain and Trianon, which the Allies imposed upon the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, after World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was dismembered and Czechoslovakia was cobbled together. Czechoslovakia included Bohemia and Moravia, Slovakia, Ruthenia and the Sudetenland.

The Sudetenland took its name from the Sudeten Mountains. Sude-

tenland was within the borders of Bohemia and Moravia, and constituted about 38 percent of the land mass.

Approximately 3.25 million Germans and 250,000 Czechs lived in the area.

With the occupation of the Sudentenland by the Wehrmacht, Gen. Wilhelm Keitel became military governor. On Oct. 18, the German Reich began producing, and awarding, a medal to all members of the Wehrmacht, SS and Sudeten officials who participated in the occupation.

Later, it was awarded to those who participated in the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. A total of 1,162,617 medals were awarded. Those who participated in both were awarded a bronze bar, known as The Prague Castle bar. It featured the Prague Castle on one side.

On Oct. 21, 1938 the Sudetenland was divided, with the southern parts being incorporated into the neighboring provinces of Germany. The capital of the remainder, which was called Sudetenland, was the 600-year-old city of Reichenberg, which is now the Czech city of Liberec, with a population of 100,000.

DAVID THOMAS ROUCH West Ocean City David Thomas Rouch was called Home on Sept. 24, 2018, at the age of 78 after a courageous battle with cancer.

He was the son of the late Harry and Thelma Rouch of Barberton, Ohio.

Upon graduating from Barberton High School, Dave comDavid Rouch bined his love of travel and engineering with service in the United States Air Force, maintaining airborne navigation radar systems before obtaining his BSEE from the University of Akron in 1966.

A masters degree from The Catholic University of America followed in 1970, leading to a distinguished 32-year career at the National Security Agency and several years of work at Harris Corporation, insisting to anyone who asked that all he did all day was trade baseball cards and chew bubblegum.

During those scholarly years he finally convinced Patricia Sue Mitchell of Akron, Ohio, to marry him, and began their adventures from Hawaii mountaintops to Tokyo gyoza shacks to European cruises with 50 countries in between.

Dave delighted in mountain top cabins, Duke basketball, and World War II books (at times enjoying all three at once), but he was happiest just being with his family. He will be remembered for his analytical mind,

lightning wit, ferocious sense of humor, and steadfast faith.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Patricia; son, Michael (wife, Sara) of Ellicott City, Maryland; daughter, Amber (husband, Harold) of Mystic, Connecticut; and brother, Larry (wife, Mary Ann; son, Harry; daughter, Cindy) of Barberton, Ohio.

As grandpa to Adam, Matthew, Ryan, David and William, he delighted in teaching the next generation that donuts were God’s perfect food, that “Monster Mash” is early rap music canon, that Star Trek, Star Wars, and Schwarzenegger deserved reverence, and that he was The Best at pancakes and spaghetti sauce.

The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Ngaiza, Dr. Daniels, and the nurses and staff at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and to Drs. Webster and Murphy at The Johns Hopkins University. We know his “Chemo-sabe” appointment outfit was his favorite, but the electric blue mohawk was yours.

There will be no viewing as his wife refuses to honor his request to be lashed to a wooden raft and set ablaze on the open ocean at sunset, Vikingstyle. Instead, a celebration of his life will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018 at Buckingham Presbyterian Church in Berlin, Maryland.

In lieu of flowers, friends and even foes are encouraged to donate to Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care, https://coastalhospice.org.

Czechoslovakia lost 11,000 square miles of territory, 66 percent of its coal, 80 percent of its lignite, 86 percent of its chemicals, 80 percent of its cement, 80 percent of its textiles, 70 percent of its iron and steel, 70 percent of its electric power and 40 percent of its timber. In addition, it lost the second most formidable defensive line in Europe.

After inspecting the Czechoslovakian fortifications and its defensive plans, Hitler admitted the Germans, “... had run a serious danger. The plan prepared by the Czech generals was formidable. I now understand why my Generals urged restraint.”

Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, probably Germany’s best, agreed with der Führer when he said that the Reich, “...did not have the means to break through” the fortifications.

The Western Allies also lost Czechoslovakia’s highly trained, professional and well-equipped Army of 400,000.

After the defeat of the Reich, the Czechs demanded a “final solution” to the “German problem!” An estimated 2.9 million Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia, most resettling in Germany. Depending on the source, this expulsion cost between 20,000 and 200,000 lives.

These expulsions came as a result of what had come to be known as the “Beneš Decrees” issued by Czechoslo-

OCTOBER 12, 2018 vakian President Edvard Beneš, and later ratified by the Provisional National Assembly. These included the expropriation of property, revocation of citizenship and deportation of the Sudeten Germans.

Two of the most famous native sons of the Sudetenland were Ferdinand Porsche and Oskar Schindler.

In 1999, Porsche was posthumously named “Car Engineer of the Century.” In addition to his contributions to the automotive industry, he also contributed to the design of the famed Tiger and “King” Tiger Tanks.

Oscar Schindler was immortalized in the book and movie, “Schindler’s List.” The movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1993.

Schindler is the only Nazi to be buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Mt. Zion in Jerusalem and the only member of the SS to be honored in Israel’s Yad Vashem Memorial, as one of the “Righteous Among The Nations,” for his help in saving Jewish lives during the Holocaust.

Decatur golf team captures District VIII championship

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12 2018) The Stephen Decatur golf team captured the District VIII title on Wednesday afternoon at the Hyatt Resort in Cambridge, by one stroke over Kent Island.

“All of my players continued to do what we have done all year,” Decatur Coach Dan Stearman Dan Stearman said.

“We limited our mistakes, we putted well and, most importantly, we supported each other.”

Decatur shot a 328 to win the competition. Kent Island scored a 329 and Easton came in third with a 342.

Junior Brady Leonard, whose 75 earned him medalist honors, led De-

catur. Senior captains Emily Malinowski and Hayden Snelsire tallied 80 and 83, respectively. Senior Joe Beck carded a 90.

“The team played really good overall. It was a great team win,” Stearman said.

Decatur will now battle the Kent Island Buccaneers on Tuesday for the Bayside Conference championship title.

Decatur is representing the Bayside South and Kent Island the North.

The match will begin at noon at GlenRiddle Golf Club in Berlin.

“For us to defeat a very good Kent Island team, we need to continue to do what I have preached all year – limit the high number, putt well and then play within themselves,” Stearman said. “If they can do that, we should win the Bayside.”

Decatur field hockey team earns first win since 2015

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) The Stephen Decatur field hockey team won its first game in three years, almost to the date, shutting out the North Caroline Bulldogs, 20, in Ridgely on Wednesday.

“I think they stepped it up during Amy Matthews the end of the second half. They started making good passes and being in the right positions,” Decatur Coach Amy Matthews said.

Junior Haley Triplett scored with 2:40 left in first half. Senior captain

Lily Figgs tallied her goal with 10:23 remaining in the game.

Decatur sophomore Jocelyn Berzonski had four saves and junior Alexis Duvall recorded three.

“They were very excited about winning. They needed it,” Matthews said.

“They learn from every game and we see improvement each game.”

Decatur’s last win was on Oct. 5, 2015, when the Seahawks outscored the Bulldogs, 5-1, on their home field in Berlin.

The Seahawks will host the Kent County Trojans today, Friday, at 4 p.m.

On Monday, Decatur will play the Saint Michaels Saints at 4:30 p.m. in Saint Michaels.

Prep field hockey squad wins 9-0 over STM

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) The Worcester Prep field hockey team netted nine goals and held the St. Thomas More Ravens scoreless on Wednesday in Magnolia, Delaware.

“They played well and almost everyone played a different position, so they got some extra practice,” Prep Coach

Katie Oxenreider said.

The Lady Mallards led 6-0 in the first half.

Goals were scored by senior captain Hailee Arrington (two), senior Dana Anderson, junior K. Oxenreider captain Abbi Nechay, junior Hana Miller and sophomore Claire Williams.

Junior goalie Aly Matha stopped three St. Thomas More shots.

Worcester will host the Delmarva Christian Royals today, Friday, at 4:30 p.m. The senior Mallards will be recog-

nized before the game.

The final regular-season game is Monday against the Gunston Day Herons at 4 p.m. in Centreville.

The Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference tournament will begin the following week.

“We needed to stay positive and keep moving forward to do well in playoffs,” Oxenreider said.

Seahawks hoping for spot in Bayside Conf. title match

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team earned victories over the Pocomoke Warriors and Mardela Warriors this week as the Seahawks edge closer to competing in the Bayside Conference championship game.

Decatur hosted Pocomoke on Monday and pulled out a 2-1 win.

Junior captain John Karacoulakis scored 30 seconds into the game off a senior Brady Ford assist to give the Seahawks a 1-0 lead. He made it 2-0 about eight minutes later.

Pocomoke capitalized on a penalty shot in the second half to cut Decatur’s lead to one, but the home team held on for the victory.

Senior captain Brett Berquist recorded six saves in the goal for Decatur.

“We came out of the gate fast and played really well for the wet field conditions we had to play on,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “Scoring 30 seconds in and eight minutes in, I thought we were cruising along. We were moving the ball around, then we just slowed down and took our foot off the gas and then we couldn’t score.”

Mardela and Decatur met in Salisbury on Wednesday. The Seahawks shut out their opponent, 5-0.

Stephen Decatur junior captain John Karacoulakis makes contact during Monday’s game against Pocomoke in Berlin. He scored both of Decatur’s goals in the 2-1 win.

Ford scored about four minutes into the game, followed by two goals by senior Brooks Wingert. Sophomore Kellen Catrino increased Decatur’s advantage to four, 1:03 before halftime.

“In the first half we played a little sluggish,” Greenwood said. “We scored early and that kind of set the tone, but then we kind of laid off a bit, but then we turned it back on.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) Twenty-six teams from Maryland and Delaware converged in Salisbury last Wednesday for the 46th annual Tidewater Fall Classic.

Berlin schools Stephen Decatur, of the Bayside Conference, and Worcester Prep, of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, were among the participants.

Decatur’s girls’ team finished in eighth place and the boys’ squad came in 10th overall.

“Overall, I think we had an average performance. I don’t think this was our best race of the year, but it was a good experience for our team,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “This is the biggest race that we will run all year in terms of number of athletes in the race. To improve our team score, we will need to have more runners finishing toward the front of the pack.”

Sophomore Mary Mergott was the first Lady Seahawk to cross the finish line. She finished in 24th place overall (22:49.48).

Also scoring points for Decatur were senior Dori Krasner (32nd, 23:13.66), junior Mikayla Denault (42nd, 23:49.97), senior Erica Hicks (48th, 24:07.28) and freshman Amalia Murphy (77th, 26:22.66).

Junior Sam Rakowski led the Decatur boys’ squad. He finished in 45th place overall (19:08.28).

Rounding out the top-five Decatur runners were freshman James Parana (57th, 19:35.13), senior Chad Fischer (65th, 19:56.63), freshman Samuel Woodley (66th, 19:57.63) and sophomore John James (69th, 20:05.63).

Prep Coach Keith Geiger said the Tidewater Fall Classic is his favorite event of the year because “it really gives a good sense of where we are as a team in relation to everyone else on the Eastern Shore.”

“There are so many great runners and great teams from both Maryland and Delaware,” he said. “As a team, I was happy that we placed in the middle of the pack. We’ve had a bunch of injuries on both the girls’ and boys’ side, so I would like to see us run a race with everyone healthy, because I think we could make a decent jump

in the standings. But, we have a great group of enthusiastic runners that work hard and try their best, so I can’t be disappointed.”

Worcester’s girls’ team finished in 12th place and the boys’ squad took 16th.

Geiger thought the Mallards fared pretty well. He was impressed with the runKeith Geiger ners who led the Prep girls’ and boys’ teams.

Freshman Myranda Beebe was the first Lady Mallard to finish. She crossed the line 27th overall (22:56.23).

Coming in second through fifth for the squad were juniors Ashley Laws (56th, 24:29.79) and Quinn McColgan (83rd, 26:42.14), senior Hannah Merritt (91st, Judy Stigler 27:33.93) and sophomore Anna Dashiell (114th, 31:19.66).

“Myranda Beebe continues to impress and get better each meet. For a freshman, she did remarkably well at her first big meet. I think she will continue to be a great leader for us,” Geiger said. “Ashley Laws has also improved a great deal since the beginning of the year. She is getting closer and closer to Myranda each meet.”

Sophomore Graham McColgan led the Worcester boys’ team. He placed 32nd overall (18:42.82).

Sophomore Connor Carpenter (37th, 18:50.08), junior Frank Carter (108th, 21:54.70), senior Parker Brandt (114th, 22:13.76) and junior Gavin Hentschel (118th, 22:31.45) also scored points for the Prep squad.

“Graham McColgan and Connor Carpenter are really pushing each other to be better,” Geiger said. “I think it’s fantastic that Connor has somebody this year that can really challenge him and get the best out of him. So far, Graham has won each race, but Connor is so close. It’s fun to see.”

Decatur’s next meet is Wednesday on its home course in Berlin at 4 p.m.

Hopefully it continues.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Oct. 12, 2018) Sophomore captain Vincent Petrera scored four of the Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team’s eight goals during Monday’s game against the Holly Grove Eagles in Westover.

“We found the wide midfielders in space and were able T. Underkoffler to get in behind the defense,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said after his squad’s 8-3 victory.

Worcester led 6-2 at halftime.

First-half goals were scored by Petrera (two), seniors Aiden Mullins (two) and Thomas Fager, and junior Ryan Cronin.

Petrera netted two shots in the second half.

OC Beach Classic ultimate frisbee tourney this weekend

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) A two-day ultimate frisbee tournament featuring 28 teams from the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast Regions will kick off Saturday on the Somerset Street beach beginning at 9 a.m.

Twenty-eight co-ed teams with players ages 16 and up from Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, D.C. and Maryland, plus one international group, the Disk Maniac Delegates from the Philippines, will go head-to-head during the fifth annual Ocean City Beach Classic.

“I created the event with two other friends in 2013,” Organizer and Director AJ Jacoski said. “All of us are ultimate frisbee players. We play on club teams, we lived in Ocean City and we had this amazing beach that wasn’t being utilized for ultimate and we knew everyone would love coming here to play.

“We love playing frisbee, we love being outside, we love the exercise,” he continued. “It’s also a very good social scene for people.”

A Friday night check-in will take place at Pickles Pub on Eighth Street to meet the captains and players from 8-11 a.m.

Games will take place on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teams will split into pools, with groups of four and one group of six competing within those groups. Teams have 15 members each.

Games will be played up to 13 points or until the 45-minute time limit expires.

Players cannot run with the disc and must score a point by catching a pass from their teammate in the end zone.

“We also have a thing called Spirit of the Game,” Jacoski said. “There’s no referees, and players call their own fouls, assuming everyone is playing in good sportsmanship with giving your opponent the benefit of the doubt. Teaching the sport to kids, they’re teaching them sportsmanship, fun, obviously not cheating and conflict resolution.”

An after-tournament party will take place at the Marina Deck on Dorchester Street.

“Ultimate Frisbee is the most fun sport I’ve ever played,” Jacoski said. “I played sports my whole life – soccer, track and field, basketball – frisbee is the best sport of them all. It’s non-contact, fast-paced and there’s crazy plays that happen.

Rob Schultheis memorial run, Sun.

By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (Oct. 12, 2018) The third annual Run the Boards like Rob relay will take place from 9-11 a.m. this Sunday, Oct. 14, in memory of Rob Schultheis, a Fruitland resident and passionate jogger.

It will begin in front of the Third Street Dough Roller on the Boardwalk.

Schultheis, a 2000 graduate of Salisbury University, district sales manager at the Sysco food distribution firm, and former president of the alumni board, died after an Oct. 16, 2015, accident involving a motorist on Meadow Bridge Road near his home in Fruitland.

In honor of Schultheis’ life, his family partnered with Sysco, where he used to work, as well as Dough Roller to create a memorial five-mile walk or run in tribute for his passion of running. The event is also a part of Homecoming Weekend for Salisbury University.

“I knew Rob for a long time,” Salisbury Alumni Relations Director Jayme Block said. “He did two stints as our alumni board president, was a major donor at Salisbury University, and was just a great presence and a great alumnus.

“But he was just a great person and

66th Street Bayside

did a lot of things for a lot of people in the community as well, which is why we continue to have so many people register and support his memory,” he continued.

In addition to the five-mile run, a non-timed one-mile fun run will also be available for those who don’t want to run the full distance. Both events begin at 9 a.m.

‘A lot of people knew Rob, who were affected by the way he lived and the way he always put others first…’

Salisbury Alumni Relations Director Jayme Block Currently, over 100 people have registered for the five-mile run.

“A lot of people knew Rob, who were affected by the way he lived and the way he always put others first and it’s always great to have the ability to commemorate someone after they’re gone year after year,” Block said. “The other part of this is you’re helping students. The money goes to a scholarship fund which helps a student at Salisbury University. It’s a great opportunity to remember a great person and in some ways pay it forward so

The remaining teams will compete against each other on Sunday, with preliminary games ending around 2:30-3 p.m. The final two teams will battle in the championship game at 4 p.m.

The champion team will receive KanJams – a flying disc game played with two cans – who sponsors the event, and the runner-up groups will take home new frisbees with the Beach Classic logo.

“We would like to thank the Town of Ocean City for their support and cooperation through the years and all of our business sponsors for helping make this event possible,” Jacoski said. “Ultimate is one of the few sports that is played competitively and is co-ed. It is a very inclusive community and we always welcome new players. Next year we are looking to add a youth division.”

The competition is free for spectators.
